LAW ISTRtaGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Umm•. 11 THR BARI. O► aIIA►TMDORT d. Tug Britt 07 MARLBOROUGH. Mr. Sii A DIVCI.t. MOM!, on the part of the plaintiffs, the trustees to the late Duke of Marlborough's will, that a enema or guardian of the property in Ilienbeim Meuse should be appointed by the Cootrt to preserve be various articles of value granted by the will of the late Duke to the present Duke of Marlborough, to be used by him during his life time, but which had been •rdered to descend as heir-Iwpins to the possessors of the title. The Learned Gentleman then went over the circumstances respecting this property, which lave been already so often detailed. Mr. Weal', for the fluke, 'evict!, that the pur pose for which the gold plate had been entrusted, was no more than to rai•e some money on it as a life pro perty. The Duke ua% by all means desirous of pay ;ug the 1::00/. which, throuwir agency, had been ob tained for the gold plate ; hut it was far from bring certain that the Duke bad been privy to the melting down ;on the contrary, it appeared f some of the affidavits made in the case, that the Duke was in ex i.ertation of receiving ISOM in addition to rhst bad Leen received, and that some letters to that edict had passed between the Duke and his agent. If, there fore, the Duke has the rightful claim to certain funds, then in the Court, there was every reason to expert that the Court would, from the means in its own power, liquidate the debt due from the Duke for the use of the gold plate. Ile therefore made a motion in amendment of the former, to that effect. Mr. N•tsisox followed on the same side. Mr. SnAtiwttt rep'ied, and said, that if the Trus tees. should be obliged to wait until the sums which were in Court bad undergone the technical operations mentioned by Mr. Wray, it might nut, perhaps, be within the power of the Court to grant them any relief. The date which the trustees were hound to fulfil obliged thent to act in the manner in which they had acted. It was a year since the motion had oribi nallt• been submitted to the Court. The Ina LI Cusicat.Loa directed, that the Call should stand over tal the next Seal, iuorder to give en opportunity to the Duke to make an affidavit in expla planation of the nature u$ his claims on the funds in Court. Mr. IVs*T observed, to wait uutil after u full opportunity Mr. Hair and hreessary edgy. 't he Leap Cu. the case should stand dice. COURT OF KINWS I)Kr. 16.

The LOAD Our AMMO observed, that this was one of the most important cues that could arise, and added, be should be sorry bis opinion should decide it. He bad a strong opinion on the subject, which lie slid not now mean to intimate, and he would adrise that a bill of exceptions should be tendered to biro, or that some other method should be taken, by which the case would collie before a higher tribunal. Samuel Willoughby is a fellowship porter, and lives et No. IV, Charles-street. Holloway-street ; he de scribed the time of the breaking out of the tire, and destruction occasioned by it.

John Luckey sworn.—ls Surveyor to the Phomix Company ; was at the other on the day following• the fire ; has beard the evidence of Mr. Jones ; way pre sent during the examination of Muller; the greater part of the questions were put by Mr. Jones; the statement of Mr. Junes is, to the best of his rerollec tioa, correct. t hristophe is a bricklayer : knows Mr. Wilson; recellerts him setting np a boiler at Craven and Boner's; witness was employed in setting it up ; it W. 15 used twelve or thirteen times, chiefly by way of experinsent : it was put np in a place railed the ma gazine; that is a detaches' building; there is a space of 19 feet between the ma_szine and sug.ir horse; the machine was never used exrept when Mr. Wilson was there ; un oni• occasion witness made the fire be fore Mr Wilson rune, I.ut the heat did nut exceed 2110; Mr. Wilson Walk semitones' to carry the heat op as high as 329 ; the highest point that it ever was got to was 419: the pomp stopped whilst the pan was discharged and recharged, and during that time the heat ruse to 500; sloes not know what quantity wf oil was its the bolter ; when the oil was at 500 the pipe burst ; the pipe was Made of pewter ; the pump was then stopped, and the oil got amongst the slicer ; witness then threw water on the lire, soil the heat of the oil rose to 600 ; from the time when the pipe Borst, to the raising of the heat In Bell, about half an honr might have elapsed ; never saw the oil rome from the top ; be saw some oil come from one side where the barometer was placed. Alexander Smith examined by Mr. Pot.t.orz.--!te mesnbers attending' au Experiment at the how* of Messrs. Taylor and ;Martineau ; the experiment was carried un at Whitecross-street ; he first received or ders on the 7th of March; the oil from Messrs. PHI-, cher was used in the experiment; be first placed 14 gatlons in the boiler; on the sth of March the fire was lighted, sail it continued lighted for 23 days; he was directed not to stiffer she beat to irolabovr 3611; he was usually employed twelve hours a day; the se cond experiment was commenced on 296 of April; tin this 0 , -casion 25 gallons of oil were put into lb, boiler: the lire under this was continued 22 days; he kept the hest under 365; at the same time a smaller boiler had been filled and the same process ob served ; the next experiment which witness tnperin tended commenced on the sth of Jaae; he did not know the quantity of oil ensplyyed ; the fire on that occasion was lighted twenty-three days; all the ezpe lriments were tried in Whitecross-street. James Larkumn examined by Mr. POLLOCK.-Ile collects attending an experiment tried at Bromley ; the experiment was commenced on the 9th of Nl.iy ; the boiler was three fret long, IN inches wide, and l.i inches deep; Dr. Boslork and I other persons were present ; the fire was continued for 31 days. Isaac Hearne was examined.- —Attended to watch the experiment mentioned by former witness; the tem p erature observed was 360 degs.; the highest point I to which it reached was 360 ; it took witness half an hour to get the heat up to 3611; in last September ' witness watched another experiment; on the latter oc• casion 3150 was the highest degree of temperature ; the boiler leaked ; and great difficulty ensued to pnt out the blase which it occasioned ; he found it diffi cult to keep the temperature at 360 degrees. Michael Perraday wade chemistry his study for the I last seven years ; has made exrerinients upon oil ; is acquainted with the commork process of boiling sugar; is also acquainted with the process used by Mr. Wilson ; thinks the ace of oil more dangerous than the common method ; he first made experi ments on this subjects in Feb. 7. 1820 the first experiment was ;smile with oil which had been pre viously heated for 22 days ; the boiler was three feet by 25 lack.. and 14i inches deep; into this boiler, 24 gallons of oil were pat it was a elate boiler. made almost in the same manner as the mo del before him ; believes that the nature of oil is rendered more intiamtuahle by being many days heated; if oil he repeatedly distilled, it becomes much 1110,0 volatile, as naptha ; .it lemore volatile, and rises iuto • vapour much more easily than common oil ; , oil may he rendered so volatile. that at the common tem perature of the atmosphere the vapour will take fire ; this is produced by. distilling oil only twice ; satis fied that oil thus distilled is more intlaminable than in its natural state; is the experiments which he made, his first ears was to 'ascertain whether this volatile oil could be produced at a temperature of 360 degrees; when oil. which had been heated es t 360 was increased to 410, it yielded some portion} of the volatile oil; never ascertained the point at which oil would boil, because in srnod thernieme tars the saercnry will boil Wore the oil ; the result of his experiments on this head was, that there was im difference of *OO between thetemperalure et whittle fresh oil and oil previously heated would produce se ladle oil. At 360 deg. the are was to 410 deg. ib I ten minutes. It then gave oat a mixture iSf in- Batuaialile vapour. On apply-lug a torch to the Va.. pour a dame was produced at 410 deg.. is 211 tulontee after the elevation of heat it gained 100 deg. sad then the I boiled over. The oil Came speutiug oat of the pipe and wes throws up to the .lleieht .sit feet. The same 441 -*bleb had ben disdled . st 410 degrees had a thick scum *retell eis Whet -1 ITATF.SM:4% face, and witness conjectured that the same must have occurred i n the large boiler. The oil thus thrown out ran into the lire-place, and required to be extinguish ed by water. The ebullition continued ,for ten mi nutes after the fire had been withdrawn. The ther mometer when the boiling over took place was at 460: 1 but the danger of approachiug the boiler prevented them Prow observing the temperature for the ten mi nutes during which the brilliant continued. Sons* of this oil witness caused to be carried to his own house, and found that it boiled at 4241. Fresh oil would nut bare boiled under 600 degrees. 'lshii oil at 490 was in a state of brilliant combustion, it boil ed tepidly, and ran over as it had done before. On May the 30th another experiment was made at the same pl ice. The oil used on this occasion had bees heated 23 days. The boiler used he believed to be the same as before. The oil at 310 was increased, and at 400 itsda bk vapour ascended from the tube. At 435 there ass abundance df vapors , . The beat went on increasing', and in twenty-nine minutes it bad risen from 367 to 500, and the burst of vapour produced a flame two feet long ; at seven degrees higher the vapour, tired by a light, ap- Pe • •ared six inches above the end of the tube. At 570 a small tub was placed over the pipe, and the vapour withise the tub took fire on the appliration of a taper. In thirty-five minutes the licit hail risen to 543, Ind the vapour collected in a barrel took fire. .14 565 the barrel was filled with vapour in the spare of 15 seconds ; this was dune repeatedly ; the barrel at length took flre ; before t..e barrel was used it hail stool in the yard, and was perfectly wet : some of the oil used on this occasion, witness afterwards took h 'me; this gave out volatile oil at 364, having been taken out before the acression of heat. Another et periment was snail's- on July 4, in Whiterross-street. Tile oil on this occasion had been heated 23 slays ; the quantity of oil used was 25 gallons ; witness had examiiii d the oil, and was satisfied that it contained no sit phallic acid ; in this experiment the volatile vapour was first perceived at 496 ; at 530 a tin pot used as a steam I.yne, rapidly collected the vapour ; at PIO there was a constant flame hurtling like gas; at 680 the oil boiled ; the thine then rase to fiur or live feet in height ; fifty minutes and a half after the lire was heated, •it arose to 486, and in 52 minutes and a half it yielded a constant name some • f this oil when used by witness at home, ! yielded volatile vapour under 3611. A Barth experi : went was made at *wl'lsitecrisss-street, in a new boiler, 29 inches in length, 13,i in breadth, and 134 in depth. Fifteen gallons whic . b had been heated fur twenty-livW slays, were used when they commenced experiments, the oil was roll,: a lire eras lighted, and in the course of fourteen minutes, when the temperature iris under 210, wi:news applied a light to the tube, and it took dame ; almost at the same time an explosion took place, and the flame ceased. At 230 the vapour be- Icame eontionsuus. Until 360 it continued combustible. s but diminished in effect. At 420 the flame because I constant for two minutes, this was 29 minutes after the fire bad been lighted. The vent pipe was length ened to about throe feet four inches in length, and a box suspended over it. 'llse box had a pipe three incises in diameter fastened at the top, and it reached ispwaids of eight feet. The temperature being 450, I the vapour nut abundant, it descended into the box instead of ascending the upper pipe. At 570 the vapour accumulated in such quantities as to burn the box when a light was applied. At 590 the vapour was so abundant as to inflame at the extremity of the pipe above the steam hyng. At GOO the steam byng was full of dame, anti the oil boiled over. From the Itime of lighting the fire, to the explosion, was 14 ml notes; tee the time when the flame became permanent, at 420, it was 19 minutes ; andlo the time of boiling over,:; minutes. Witness has since tried two expe riments. On July 6, into a boiler 36 inches wide, 19 broad, and 14i sleep, thirty gallons of oil were poured t the oil hail been heated thirty-eight days. At 430 the vapour was inflammable; at 494 the flame I lasted some moments: and at 575, it was boiling. In this experiment the thermometer varied sometimes 25 degrees. The last experiment was at Brom : ley, and produced nearly the same results. In this experiment witness observed, that thuitgli at 160 the vapour would scarcely burn ; yet when the water was comoleessed front the vapour the flame became per ' manent. At this period the tipper thermometer teas only 435 ; at length the vapour became so intim , mable that when once lightei, they bad much JA- I culty in extinguishing it. Witness could never get indauuuable vapour from it while sugar was 430 de- grecs. From e parse moist sugar be owe got it at 370. Witness feels satisfied from these cxperim'nts that the use of -nil in producing, heat is more dan- Igeruus than the old system. From the safe to the boiling temperature, oil frequtently rose in the space of twenty minutes. Being desired to direct observations to time model before bins, witness said, that had the Are taken place from the combustion of inflammable vapour, he thought, that the flume would issue out in the wanner already described; the flame would probably be red, but that wcittki depend on the mixture of atmospheric air. Cross-examined.—He took no pains to detect any ingredient in the oil used, except sulphuric acid ; he never made an esperiment on anr apparatus construct ed in a similar manner to the model before him ; he was not permitted to attend Sir. Park's experiment t be would hare been surprised if in au apparatus simi lar to the one helm-. Idly he could not preserve vola tile oil Irons oil previowdy heated to 300 degrees for 55 days ; heat c ontuunientes proportionably to oil slower than to water, but as a whole body, oil heat; usuch wore rat idly than water.

The irons were taken off all the prisoners but Wein, whose hardened conduct in prison rendered it neces sary to keep them on, and the prisoner Stanley was not brought up. The woman who was in conversa tion with the barglar J.snes in (treat RusseU-street immediately before the rescue, will, in addition to oilier testimony not yet disclosed, give important nib' deuce. Her examination has been taken iu private. Marsden, the rioler, was in attendance with hie head tied up, and be is lunch altered.

Junes, who has been identified as one of the res cum, appealed to Kilsby, the keeper of a coffee-shoe in Great Suffolk-street, St.George's-fiellie, to prove h • innocence by alibi ; but as •Kilaby did not attend epee the last examination, a warrant compelled hit *need ,ance upon this occasion, and instead of proving as etli/n, he confirmed the testimony of another witne , 4, who swore to Jones. Kilsby proved, that Jones, the rescuer, introduced Jones, the burglar (con:idea at the present Old Bailey Sessions) to him on the ever-, ing of the rescue, and that they slept at his bons. They made no secret of the rescue, bat on the cot. teary, Jones displayed the bludgeon which, as lie said, had done the trick, and boasted of that which he termed the exploit. The two Harris's pleaded innocence, and appeshil to the Magistrates how bard it was that they he kept in confinement Laltbough they bad been very often charged with felony, they had always been in nocent, and such usage was not right. The offence is no more than a misdemeanour, fie which bail cannot be refused; and Mr. Tavkr, a w lieitor, tendered bail for Woodgate, hot the Magic Crates required 4$ hour, notice, in sureties of wand two of -la Bail was tendered for others, and the whole were remanded till next Friday.
