IP . e I • `VAPPRP!PF 7 ' .7 ' • • - . . COURT OP CHANCERY, JOLT IT. - ooVaLAT O. Wag OF SOIHRIBT. • nis was an appeal from the decision of the late Alas.. ter of the Rolla, praying the Court that a new trial may be granted. 4)n the 27th of May, 18011, Mr. IL Gimlet of the county of Pik, in Scotland, agreed to lease a feral, called Deptford, in Wiltshire, from the noble defendant, for the term -of 21 years. The terms of the agreement were. that Mr. (Marley was to eater into possession on the 10th of October following, the Noble Doke allowing Mr. tiourlay 2001. for the repairs of the farmhouse. and such other sum as might be laid onion improvements and alterations, subject to the approval of the Duke, or a per son of the name of Gals; at the same time Mr. Gourley was bound to produce vouchers for the money laid out on such alterations and Improvements. For this farm Mr. tlourlay weed to pay a rent of 6001. a year. livable half yearly. Mr. tionrlay did not obtain possession of the tarm house on the 10th of October, in consequence ortbe previous tenant not giving up possession immediately, and Mr. tioorlay refused to perform the contract. This circumstance gave rise to a disagrreinent between Mr. Overlay and the Doke, • Mr 4 Gourley being obliged in the mean time to hire a residence for himself and family. In consequence of this disagreement the Noble defendant served a notice oo the plaintiff, that be would not execute the lease, ..anit that Mr- Gourley should give up possession of the farm. The posses. slots was retained by the previous tenant, on the ground that it was customary in that country to retain possession until arrangement should be made respecting the manure on the farm and the crop arising from it the following year. When Mr. Gourley obtained pouessies of the house—some months after the specified time, be proceeded to make improvements and alter it situation. Those improvements amounted to 497/.. and were ap proved of by Mr. Gale, and allowed on the part of the Ihike. It was intimated to the plaintiff that the Duke in tended to put 'Mr. Gourlay out of possession by eject ment. In the year 1810 a bill Was hied in Chancery by Mr. Odarlay against the Duke, to restrain him in pro ceeding on the ejectment, and to oblige bins to sign the lease. On this bill an injunction was granted by his Lordship to restrain the Duke from proceed. ings at law, and that the Duke should execute the - lease, which was dune. The bill was amended by Mr. lionrlay in the year 1812, stating improvements and alterations which cost 1,3251. To this bill an ansoer was put in by the Duke , denying that those alterations were any improvement, but rather the . The case came on before the late Master of the Rolls, and two tines were ordered by the Court: the first was, whether Mr. Gourlay was entitled to any and what sum beyond 2001. specified in the original agreement; the second, whether the plaintiff was entitled to any. and what allowance, for not getting possession of the house at the stipulated time. Those issues were directed to be tried at the next Assizes for-Wiltshire. On the fist of these issues the Jury nega tived the claim of the plaintiff to any arm beyond 2091.1 and on the second he was allowed 100!. for not getting possession,and being put to the expense of hiring a house. Mr. Gale was examined on this trial, but could not recol lect that he bad approved of any alterations and improve- ments ; and therefore the Learned Judge (Perk) before *Win it was tried, duly looking at the original wee ment, which made vouchers necessary to the improve ments, directed the Jury, to find the above verdict. Mr. Gourlay being dissatisfied with thin finding- moved for a mew trial before the sante Master of the Roll's, which was granted on the ground that the view the Learned Judge took of the original agreement was not the view with which the Court had ofdered the issues. The first trial took place in ISI3. for money laid out in improvements amounting to 1.3251. prior to the year 1312. The trial came on before Ar. Justice Hohoyd, in 1816, and the Jury fauna for the plaintiff, granting him 13251. and ako a further sum of 6001. which had been laid out on the farm since the year 1912. Mr. Gale, on this occasion, proved the utility of the improvements, and the amount a. money expended. Mr. HAT, on the part of the Duke; Wired for a new trial, on the ground of the discrepancy between the evi dence of Mr. Gale on the first and second trial; bat the Master of the Rolls refused the application °utile &mad that lie was not to look beeond the terms of the original agreement, stating "any farther sum which might be raid out." From this decision the present appeal was brought before his Lordship by the Noble defendant.- 1 The tarm in question has not been occupied by Mr.Gour• lay since the year 1817, but has been let by him to ano ther person. Messrs. HART and Ruin appeared for the Duke, Mr. Gourlay having no Counsel, appeared on his own behalf,' and was pro-ceiling to address the Court, but his Lord sh:p being obliged to attend a Committee in the House of Lords, said that he would hear Mr. Gourley on Monday e; Tuesday next.

The defendants entered a justification on the fekortl, as to'the principal counts. Aster Mr. Storks had stated the case, and witnesses bad been examinsil,Mr.Coapet addressed the Jury for the • • defence; the Learned Jo Ige then recapitulated the prin cipal points of the evidence, an ....weed the Jnry, who af:rr some eonnultation, together round a verdict for the plaintiff; Dant:ges, 40. r., 405., costs YORK, Tea, 'cittnew COMM-41M George Booth,'of the parish Wait Kidiag, shopkeeper. we _ 1 the 23d of blayl felonlatudy log a bill of exchange of the value s, the value of 151., and - sundry promissory n.. of the value of 2001., or thereabouts, front Wocidcock, traveller to Messrs. Cook Taylor pod Co:, druggists, of the city of York: the property was laid in the indictment as belonging to the latter. The prisoner pleaded 61 not guilty." The ease exacted great interest, from the reputable condition in life of the prisoner, who was a shopkeeper, and also large farmer, near Barnsley. The first witoess was William Child Woodcock, els mined by Mr. ALotasosr, as follows:—I was, last May, traveller to Messrs. Cook Taylor and Co., of York, which place I left on a journey on the 12 th of that mo nth ' . I know the prisoner, at whose house at Hall Green, hes. tween Barasley and Wakefield , I called, as hi was a customer of ones, at eight o'clock on the mor n ing of the 23d of May. I pursued my journey upon a horse, .with saddle bags, containing . a canvas bag. with the molter, and bills set forth in the indictment . Oa th e morning 11 called, and before I went to the prisoner's house I optuall my saddle bags to look for an account I had against and saw my purse safe. I left my horse at the door wi the bags open, and when I entered his house (where, stayed only five minutes) I did not see the pawners , frees thence I proceeded; after buckling up my saddle.. bags, and without looking a second time after my purse, then, to Mr. Priestley's the surgeon; but I did out open saddle bags while there, nor until I reached Wake- On my arrival at the Stafford Anna, kept by Mr. Tyler, in that town, I opened my bag, awl missed, for the feet time, the canvass bag which contained my money. I lestently called the waiter, ordered my horse oat agate, and rode back to Hall Green. I then saw the prisoner, mentioned to him my loss, and that it occurred at his door He asked what kind of a bag, and 1 described it. He said, " What had it in it?" I replied. i• To tell you the truth, it had money, and a great deal." The (away instantly searched •about the door • but in vain : and at the time I had not the least suspicion against the pri soner. I afterwards went to Mr. Priestley's, and again to the place where I had slept the night before; but without any trace of the money. I then went to Wake field, where I circulated handbills (one of which he now identified), offering a reward for the money, and notify ing that payment of the bills was stopped. On the Fij d d afternoon (the day of the loss) I saw the prisoner at Wakefield. and he told me that his inquiries had been ineffectual. On the ad of June, I saw the two bills, which were the only bills in the bag, at Messrs. Taylor and Co.'s cboatiophouse. Mr. Cook Taylor, a druggist of York, described that on the 4th of Jane be saw two bills of exchange, one for 201., the other 151., which reached him by post (the let ter now handed to him was the same). In consequence of this he wrote to the prisoner, and on the 7th of June he received from him the answer which was now in Court; and soon after_ he went and apprehended him. lowing to the letter conveying the answer, when prisoner was taken before Mr. Wood, the Magistrate, of Wood ' thorpe. They torched the prisoner's house afterwards, land found a memorandum book, and account-books were afterwards food there, which were also here. The pri soner when examined before the magistrate admitted an account-book to be in his handwriting, which was now In the possession of Shaw the officer. A comparison was made before the magistrate of two ball sheets of paper and the prisoner admitted that the letter shown to him, which was one of these half sheets, was in his son's hand writing, upon paper which he bad given to him. Pri soner, in answer to a question, whether he had been lately at Barnsley, said, Opt he bad nut been there since the fair on the 13th of May. The question was meant to ascertain if he was there on the second of June. James Tyler, proprietor of the Stafford Arms Inn , at Wakeffeld, deposed. that on the 3rd of June he received the two !enters now handed to him, which he transmitted to Mr. Taylor's house at York. One of the letters was a perfectly plain eneelop, with the enclosure. Samuel Wood, a fanner living at Chapelthorpe, knew the prisoner for 16 or 17 years, and knew his handwrit ing. The letter shown to witness was, to all appearance, prisoner's handwriting; and the writing in the memoran dum'book was not his but his sort's. Kt. Taylor, a butcher. of Dodwell, knew the prisoner, and also thought the direction ui the letter shown to him was its his handwriting. The Counsel for the prosecution tiow put in an envelop, which contained the two bills that had been lost, and was addressed to Tyler, Wakefield," and it was to the hand writing of this superscription that the witnesses spoke ;and also a letter from the prisoner to Messrs. Taylor, regret ting that his inquiries respecting the lost property were ineffectual. William Pardoe, a police-officer, who searched the pri soner's house, produced some sheets of foolscap paper, which lie found therein, and. compared them with two half sheets of paper now in Court (the envelop in which the bills were returned, and the other in which the pri , sillier regretted that he could not trace the lost property), and found the size, water-mark, date, and stamped lines, Itteactly to corresponed. He also produced some large wafers and a seal, which he found on the premises. Pri soner admitted some writing is a book to be his. James Wood, a shoe-maker, of Barnsley. deposed that he knew the prisoner, whom he saw near the post-office, and ioing towards it, on Monday, the 2d of June, at Barnsley. [This was to rebut time statement attributed to the prisoner that be bad not been there since the fair in May.] The asual proof was then given from the Barnsley post-office of the , transfer'of the two lettere already put in evidence, and the clerk remarked a particularity in the address of that to Tylen Charles, Cholericly, Eat, of Knutaford, in Cheshire, was landlord of the prisoner. la the month of Nay (the 26th), he received a draft from him for 221. 140.1 he was in the occasional habit of ipakiog him small remittances, as he sold his corn. The rent prisoner paid him annual ly was 4611., and the 22/. 1-18. was out of that rent. About half a year's rent was due at Christmas, 1522, Witness, previous to 1523, had often pressed prisoner for a remittance on account, as he knabv he had a great deal of wheat not thrashed out, and other available 'Lock on his farm, which lie ought to sell. John Lockwood, a maltster. at Wakefield, desposed that on the 6th of June last he received from the prisoner 61. le. for malt ; the account was dun on that day. On the following day he was apprehended. . ' The first witness. Woodcock, was rmalled, to identifiy the two bill:. which lie had lest. This was the rase fur the prosecution. Time prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, put in a writen paper, prepared, as he said, by a friend, as he was not himself a goad setiolar. It contained a decd tration of :cis innocence, am. ' if the absolute impos sibility of his having committed the felony, as he was ab sent trom loins on the morning alr. Woodcock first called at his house. lie relied on the long.-established character which lie bad uuiforuily sustained among his neighbours, and on the respectability of his circumstances as a strong prefintoption against any inducement to coin ~it such a crime as this; and at the same time he dis clairned impirting any undue motive to his pr us sent o ss, the principal of whom (.fir, Woodench) had shown great careles-nest respecting his propertv.

Benjamin Crowder was at the tithe barn on the 24 of June for some wheat. It was a rainy day, and they could not load it until the afternoon. It was impossible the prisooer could bare been absent from his barn on that day. The Bev.

Bow-trretta? —About three weeks ago, an application was made to Sir RICHARD Bums, by a poor woman living in Westminster, on behalf of a girl named Emily Blake, who was stated to ite the natural daughter of a wealthy man, but who bad deserted hnr, and she was per fectly destitute. The Magistrate. after heaving the store of the woman, sent for the girl, in order to bear the relation from her ono month. ' She was rather a good looking girl, about l 3 years of age, and seemed very intelligent. arse stated that her mother, Mrs. Emily Hafer, was for weer/ years house ' keeper to a gntleman, named K--, and that while living with bins, is that capacity, she had two clsildreu by him The applicant was the first horn; her mother died in child-bed with the second, and the child also died. Her mother possessed at the time of her death souse considerable property of her own. consisting of a house and furniture in Blenheim Street, Oxford Street; some money in the Funds, and smile expectancies. All this she left, by will, to the applicant, appointing Mr. K--, her fathcr, and a person whom she knew of the name of 11--, her executors. The applicant was then taken under the care of Mr. H—, who placed her at a boarding-school, s.t, or near Oxford.— She did not remain there long; he fetcbed her away, and she lived with bins and his wife for souse time, at Camberwell, from whence they removed to Quebec Street, Portman Square, where they kept a house of no 'very immaculate character. One day, while she was re. sidfng there,Mr. H.'s brother took her and another eland. as he said, for a walk, as far as,Shepherd's Bush, wh re he got into a field, and taking t,be other child up in his arms and crossing a ditch, tot& her to wait until he re turned, which would be shortly; she waited along time, but he did not return, an i she was found by a man seat ed in the field and crying bitterly; sbe found her way back to London, and was going to Quebec Street, when she met the brother, who told her it was of no use her going there, for they were all gone away ;sea r c el y know ing what to do, she went to Mr. Abbott's, at Battersea Rise, and threw herself upon his protection; he had been an intimate friend of her mother's, and was her godfather ;she remained with him until his death, when she was again thrown destitute upon the world; Mrs. Warboy. Mr. Abbott's housekeeper, however, compas aionating her situation, took her home and sent • for her father, Mr. K.; he, after some remonstrance from Mrs. Warboy, promised to provide for the applicant, and gave Mrp. W. 21. on account, but she could get no more from him, and after a lapse of ten weeks she was compelled to tell the applicant that she could afford to keep her no longer ; she was then taken to the work)-ouse of St. Cle. meat Danes (her mother's parish), from whence she was apprenticed by the Overseers to a silk-weaver in Spital fields ; he grossly ill-tresited hisr, and was punished by imprisonment, and the indenture% were cancelled ; she next went to live with the woman who applied here on her behalf. Sir It. BIBNIN desired the poor girl to come again on a future day, and in the interim he ascertained, by per sonal inquiry, that her story was strictly true ; he learn ed also, that Mr. H. had taken the benefit of the Insol vent Act, and was believed to be again in prison ; he wrote to Mr. K. requesting an interview, but received no answer ; and a second and a third letter received no more attention. He then told the girl that be could do nothing fur her, however willing he was to serve her.— A very few days afterwards this unfortunate girl was again a destitute wanderer, and walked about the streets' two days and nights. The second night she was assault ed in an indecent manner by a fellow of mesa appearance, and her cries bringing the watch to her assistance, he was taken the next day to Queen-square Police.olfice,and committed to the House of Correction ra default of bail. The Magistrates there heard her story, and it having. reached the ears of some of the Mendicity Society, Mr. Walker, one of its officiating members, came to Sir R. BIM( ' to whom the girl was sent from Queen-square, and offered to talte care of her at a lodging-house which they had for young women who happene%l to come under their care, until something could be done for her. Sir R. BIRNIg has written again to Mr. K., but the lat ter has not condescended to take the slightest notice of the communication, The girl remains under the care of the Mendicity Society, and 'the worthy Magistrate and Mr. Walker are taking steps to ascertsiu what has become of the property left by her soother. She attended upon Sir Richard yesterday to communicate some further par ticulars.

Theclothes of the prisoner were produced. There were,as was before inerttioned,marks of blood upon them. The prisoner, who looked well, and behaved very entity and respectfully, here repeated what he had said about killing the fowls., called upon any one to prove that to was nut a moat quiet and hottest man. Ile had, he said, lived in the neighb,mrhood upwards of twenty years, and he defied any man to say that i , e ha I ever before been I before. a Magistrate, or in a watehlionse in his life. Mr. SWAIM/ assured him, that all his oitnesses should he heard, notwithstanding it was not the province of the Magistrate to attend to any evidence except that on the part of the Crown. Painter, the constable, said br had witnesses to prove that Kock had met two or threepersons on the Saturday morning, before 5 o'clock, to whom he said not a word Of the death of the deeeased. The prisoner, without hesitation, admitted the fact. ')'women then came foraard, and one of them state!. that at s quarter before five the prisoner met him, and took share of a pint of porter with him at the Admiral Hawke •;bliv-house ; that they were together but a very short time, and that the prisaner, never mentioned any thing ahont the death of Mrs. Chaniberlayne.--Thu oilier also stated, that the same silence las observed towards him_ The prisoner —" Why, to-be sore, f never spoke of the poor woman's death, and how could I have done other wise ?. I never knew that she was deist nntilafter Haws Ut and M rs. Clarke, and I went in, end that was after fire o'clock." The apron of the deceased washere produces!. It was covered with blood, and the string looked as if it had been torn with violence from the person. The counter pane of the prisoner's bed was also produced. There teem two or three marks of blood upon it, but they were not very distinct. Painter said the prisorer's bed had not the appearance of being lain in all night; the sheets were not raffled ; the bed appeared as if a person had just lain for a short time, and the deceased hill herself, in all probability, caused the trifling derangetneet, as she had actually laid down on the bed in the evening. A second surgeon, who examined the wound, gave the same answer' to' Mr. Swabey's questions as had been given by the 14..4. Mr. Henry, also a surgeon, bed a very different opi nion upon the subject ; he thought a fall upon the fen der might have caused the wound, and that the dechased Might have walked to the chair after losing the blottd. He could not sprak decidedly. Mary Scott deposed, that she served the prisoner and another man with a pint of beer before five o'clock, and that not a word was said about the death of Mrs. Chant 'oerlayne ; the prisoner looked as if he had been up alt night, but there tras nothing particular about him. The Prisoner—l did not think she was in a dangerous state, and 1 thought it best to tell her own son and daughter of her situation first, and went out for that purpose, when I met the persons who have just spoken, They are quite right in saying that I did not say a word about the poor Woman to them. I did not think it ne cessary to alarm the neighbourhood. Mr. Wade, the master of the prisoner, of whom lie has a high opinion, and in whose case he feels a very strong interest, was in the office the whole day. \ e stated that his servant girl told him before she beard of the death of Mrs. Chamberlayne, that Rock had killed two fowls the day before, and that his hands were covered with blood. The girl again stated this fact. The Prisoner—l wrung their neck', and, any body migit know that they would bleed. Mr. SWAIM remanded the Prisoner until Saturday, and observed, that he should on that day either discharge or commit him for trial.
