The point at issue in this cause was, whether cer tain sums, devised in a codicil to plaintiffs, to whom legacies had been left in the will, were to be added to the legacies, or substituted for them?—Mr. Wil liam Mackenzie, the testator, had made his will in England. and had afterwards added a codicil in Flo rence, where he died. In the codicil, he stated that he had made a will, of which he did not recollect the date, and confirms every part of it. In the will, he had left a specified sum to his reputed son, Alexan der Mackenzie, by Margaret Lincoln, to be paid to him on his arriving at the age of t , enty-four. Ile had also left specified sums to his sisters, his nieces, &c. The iesidue he had devised to his brother, Lieu tenant-Colonel Mackenzie, of Fairburn, in Ross-shire, if he should survive him; if not, he had directed the residue to be divided among the other legatees. In the codicil, he left the same sum to his son and to the other legatees, but with some variations respecting the payment of interest. The present suit was there fore brought by the legatees against Lieutenant-Co lonel Mackenzie, to obtain payment of the legacies comulatively. • The VICE-CHANCELLOR save judgment this morn ing in favour of the plaintiffs. There was not such a similarity in the devises, as to induce a belief that the testator had intended to substitute the legacies devised in the codicil for those devised in the will. HOWARD AND GIBBiS BANKRUPTCY. This case was again brought forward before the Court this day, on the petition of Mr. George Car roll, praying that a debt of £18,207, claimed by him to be due from the bankrupts estate, might be de creed to be admitted by the Commissioners. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after considerable argu ment, dismissed the petition, but gave liberty to Mr. Canon to again apply to the Commissioners. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 11. BOUTELLIER O. THICK. This was an action by the indorsee against the in dorser of a bill of exchange for £5O. The defendant pleaded a set-off. The plaintiff bad been Secretary to the Norwich Union Dire and Life Insurance Office, of which the defendant had been an Agent. It was admitted that the plaintiff was trustee for the other members of the Society, and that the defendant, as against them, had a set-off to the amount of the bill of - exchange in question. Before the cause came to a conclusion, at the suggestion of the Learned Judge, it was agreed to refer it to arbitration. BRINKMAN V. BALL. Mr. GURNEY stated that the plaintiff, in May last, lost his pocket-book, containing three £3O Bank of England notes, and small notes to the amount of 1.76 He was proceeding by advertisement to make in quiry after the property, when he received an anany- 1 mous letter, informing him that the notes were found by a person who, reduced to necessity, had used them, but would pay the amount, with interest, as soon as possible. The plaintiff traced the letter to the defendant, and called on him: the defendant did ' not deny having found the notes, but said he had nsed them, and talked of getting a friend to become security for payment of the mone;•.

ROWLEY. This was an action to recover damages for slan der. The defendant is an apothecary, and he had been employed to attend the plaintiff's child under the small-pox. The plaintiff, it appeared, was of ',pinion that drugs were injorimis under that disease, and he refused wallow the child to take all the de fendant sent: the child died, and the defendant said, some time alter, in the presence of several persons, that the plaintiff had murdered his child. This was the substance of the words spoken.

SMITH V. OWZN AND ANOTHER. This was an action against the Hundred of Ossul= ston, for damage done to the windows of the plaintiff. Mr. MARRVATT stated that the plaintiff, Lady Smith, was a resident in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square. On the 19th of July, the day of the Coronation, preparations for illumination were making at her Ladyship's house: a crowd, however, which followed her late Majesty's carriage, took of fence at the sight of the proposed rejoicings, and broke windows to the cost of £2O in the mansion. Mr. E. LAwas watched the case, and took some formal objections, which were overruled: Verdict for the plaintiff—Darnages £2O. totcestara 12.—MAY V. °WYNNE, ESQ . . Mr. SCARLETT stated, that this was an action by which the plaintiff, a Solicitor, and late Vestry Clerk of the Parish of Bethnal-green, sought to recover a compensation from the defendant, a Doctor of Laws, and an inhabitant of that parish, for a gross and slan. derous libel, inserted in the Nea spaper called the Sunday Monitor, intended to injure the character of the plaintiff, and to operate to defeat his re-election to the office of Vestry Clerk, which he had held for 30 years, preceding the year 1820. It a l peared, from the state ..ent of the Learned Counsel, that this libel had its orig n in the parochial squabbles which have so long divided that parith, and which led to the prosecution and conviction of Mr. Mercer's'', the cir cumstances of whose case have been so repeatedly before the Public. Mr. Merceron, who had been Treasurer of the Poor Fund, was prosecuted for a misapplication of the monies coming into his hands in that character; and the present defendant, as he would prove, was one of the most 'active in origi nating and conducting that prosecution; ansi, as would appear, in hopes of displacing him from the office of Treasurer, and becoming his successor. He succeeded in getting Mr. Merceron rem( red ; but in his ulterior object he failed, as the parishioners determined not to vest the powers of Treasurer in future in any one individual, but to place the funds in the Bank of England, under the controul of five of the Governors of the Poor. Just previous to this disappointment, Dr. Gwynne, as Chairman of a Vestry Meeting, pro posed a Resolution of Thanks to the present plaintiff, for his conduct as Vestry Clem k, couched in the most flattering terms ; but, immediately after his disap pointment in obtaining the office of Treasurer, Dr. Gwynne became cool in his prosecution of Merceron, went round to the other side, and ultimately declared decidedly against the opponents' of that individual, and particularly against Mr. May, as being the most active of them. Further parochial transactions were gone into by the Learned Counsel, which led to the appointment of a Committee to investigate the pat ish accounts, relative to the expenses of the prosecution against Merceron. This Committee was appointed in September, 1819, but delayed to make any report until just on the'eve of Eater, 1820, at which time the Vestry Clerk is annually elected; previous to which election, namely, on the 2d of May, 1820, ap peared the Report of this Committee in the Sunday Monitor, prefaced by observations of the defendant, imputing to Mr. May that he had been a party to making up the parish accounts in a manner exactly similar to that for which Merceron had been punished: The defendant caused '2OOO copies of this Report to be printed, and distributed amongst the patishioneras and published a Pamphlet to the same effect ;—by these means such a prejudice was raised against the plaintiff, that the election for Vestry Clerk went against him, and the party in the interest of the clea fendant was elected. Mr. Scarlett then entered into a long and minute investigation of the parish ac ccunts, to prove that there was not the slightest grounds for the imputations cast out against the plaintiff, whose reputation kad stood high in the pa rish for the.last 30 years, during which period he had held the office of Vestry Clerk. To justify his cha racter against the aspersions thus cast upon him, the plaintiff had brougbt the present action. The Learned Counsel called witnesses to prove the facts of his case. _ _ _ The record of the proceedings against Mr. Merce.. ron, and the indictments, were put in also. Mr. J. Stokes, late printer and publisher of the Sunday Monitor, proved that Mr. Gwynne, the de fendant, applied to him to publish in that Paper the proceedings of the Vestry now the subject of inquiry, delivered him the manuscript, and afterwards paid for the insertions Cross-examined.—It was usual to insert the pro ceedings of the Vestry in the Monitor, it being the Sunday Newspaper generally read in the NI Many resolutions and proceedings had been in the Paper, signed by Mr. May, as Vestry Clerk,'and paid for by him. Several witnesses were called to prove that Doctes Gwynne was a party authorising the publishing the Pamphlet, and the copies of the Report distributed amongst the parishioners. The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion, that at this period of the cause the proof of knowledge as to the Pamphlet was not brought home to the defendant. Mr. Henry Stokes, a printer, proved that he re.. ceived the manuscript copy of the Report of a.Ccw. --__:,--a lit*
