LAIT INTELLIGENCE. 8/•••-• COUQT OF CHANCERY, it i.e 22. . IN THE MATTER OF LUDLAM. At the i littioig of the Court, yesterday tar:ruing, Mr. Psoirross addressed the Chancellor. in the absence of Mr. Richards. who had spoken shortly to his Lordship, on Saturday and on illouday, Upon the ,sine matter. lie represented to the Court, that his duty, as draftsman in this matter. threw upni, bun the function of preparing and bedbug the petition, which had bees recommended or directed by his Lordship to he presented for tra versing the lOgidisitioe of lunacy found against this Geutleman, and not only his duty but his disposi tion led him to act with the most scrupulous atten tioirto his Lordship's very pointed recommenda tion to Mr. Richards and himself, to ascertain all the facts necessary to be brought before the Court. There wasa great number of office copies of orders of Court and" affidavits, (the procuring of which cost Mr. Ludlam upwards of 1714 which it was an rlerstood were at Brooke-house, Hackney, the I , isce of his present confinement, and his Lordship oitid be sensible of the necessity of seeing these, in order to put the Court in possession of the whole of his case; and without them or fresh copies. the procuring of which would be productive of ex pense arid delay. it would be impossible far him to pmforni his duty either to his Lordship or his Tim CHANCRILIIII observed, that it was impos sible to be constantly travelling out of the regular course of the Court, which Wari already beeu so much broken in upon by this matter. Mr. PsoWneN observed, that he had very re ceutly come into the cause, and having heard his Lordship complain so heavily of former irregulari ties, he was the more anxious to avoid auy future gromels for the like complaints. The CHANCELLOR thee asked, if any application had been made to the committee for these papers f For his Lordship would met anticipate the refusal of any papers or other things which were proper to be given or produced for the benefit of the lunatic. Mr. Ptowouw answered, that he was not pre pared to assert the actual refusal, though he pre sumed that the applicution, without his lArdsiiip's order, would be ineffectual. lie was tree, how ever, to say, that he had yesterday advised the Soli citor, who had been referred to him by Mr. Rich ards, on the proposed application to the Court to apply to the coin:nines. for these papers, and he conceived it not unlikely, that the absence of the Attorney from Court, at that time, was to be ac couuted for from his being actually there on that very pursuit ; if, however, it should happen. that before the rising of the Court, the apOcation should have been made and refused, Mr. Plowden hoped his Lordship would allow him to renew hi ap plication. Mr. Plowdeu then said, that notwithstand ing his Lordship had, on Saturday last, expressed so marked a reprobation of the misrepresentationsof this matter in the public prints, he had been sur prised at reading, yesterday, in several of them, an article conternimi Mr. Ludlam, to the same effect, and some parts AI which he knew to be false. He oiKerved, that front tile nature of the article, it was self-evident that it had been sent to the papers by those who had the enstody of, and had actess to. Mr. Ludlam ; and it was equally evident, that it was pled:shed with a view to create or further a bias akinua that unfortuuate Gentleman, either to prevent or to give a taro to the traverse. The CMANCILLI.OR remarked, that be had no mesas of preventing this mischief of misrepresen tation iu the public papers; and that both he and the Learned Connect had reasons to complain of it. Bat his Lordship feared that a great part of the evil lay within the profession. Mr. I'Lowoes then read the instruction which had beeu handed to him by the Attorney, and which was an application to his Lordship, for au order for Mr. Ludlam's Sur4tsons and his Solicitor to be admitted to see him, without the interven tion of any person. sod that all the papers should be delivered to the Solicitor. However, as his I.oedship had so esplicitly expressed his confidence, that the papers would not be refused ss hen applied for, he had no doubt but that what had that day passed in Court, would have the effect of an order. lye should rest satisfitsl, and begged leave to return his thaiik* for his Lordship's feelings on the occa sion, both on behalf of his client and himself. The Cussiesistoa thanked Mr. Ploaden for prittingthe matter so candidly ; and said he did him but justice in mentioning his feelings on this acre sien, for he had very strong feelings indeed, and so *none,. that he rather felt as if they had earned hiin beyond what was strictly regular. COURT OF RING'S BENCH. Wirrntxma, Mr. M %SST to moved for a Habeas Corpus to bring op to Court Juba Daly, who was cosantittod on the Little-Go Act, at enion-hall. Sorry, that he might be discharged, there twang an informality in the commitment ; the Magistrate who commit ted him not being described properly. The COURT granted a ilsbuss Corpses, and or dered that the Magistrate should hare notice of the application. Mr..Dsurtea shewrd cease against a rule grant ed by the Court a kw diya ago. He stated that it was an action brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant for criminal conversation with the Plaintitro wife. The erase was originally laid in Midflleses, but the Defendant had got it changed to Devon, oa an affidavit, that the criminal conver sation, if any, took place in Derma. The Plaintiff was married in Ireland, widest that could not he a chime of fixing the tease in 3bddlesex. The pre sent rule was moved to bring back the rens, to Middlesex, there I wring been so good reason at first to change it. Hr contended that it could nut lie any where else than in Devoe. Lord ELLENS0110%.1(111 observed, that the canto of action, if tried in Middlesex. might be defeated. TLe question to consider was, whether the clinic of action arises from the criminal intereevar, or the natural grief of the husband? The Arreassr..Gr.stast., Counsel for the Plaintiff, contended that the I)irtendant bad no right to change the reeve, as there was no ! ini-r. dent for it, and it ought to be brought hack to the v i se ,. i s which it was originally lint. There cintid Le am excuse foe it, as the niarnagefook place in - - A Session of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol De liver!, for the trial of *fleeces committed on the High Seas, within the juriwiiction of the Adituralt:, of F.agiand, will be held at Justice Hall, in th, 01,1 Bailey, London, ou Tuesday, the I Sib of nest 1110istIN Ireland, which excluded them from attempting to la ove that it took place in Devon. Mr. 1-14RRIS followed on the saute side. The Cot RT was of opinion, that the marriage hail nothing to do nit the cause*, action, although it was necessary oti the trial to prove that it had taken place. The rule for changing the venue was granted on an affidavit, that the criminal conversa tion, if any, did not take place in Middlcisex. but in Devon, and in no other place- They thought the Court had acted properly to granting the rule to change the trace to Devon, under which consi deration they dismissed the present application. The names of the parties were not mentioned. Sittings or Nisi Primsbefire Lord Eu.ssiso- ROUGH. ASSAULT. DON•LDSON U. ROGERS 414 d DOYLI. This was an action for dainages. Mr. TOPPING stated the case. John Thompson. feather merchant, deposed, he went, by the Plaintiff's invitation, to dine at the house of the Defendant, Rogers, the Swan Inn, New-street, Covent-Garden. The Defendant Doyle attended at dinner as waiter • a ft er dinner they vaned for the bill, which amounted to 14$. &l. '1 he Plaintiff gave Doyle a 21. note, and he brought but Ss. tid. change. Witness told him that was not the proper change out of a 21. note. Doyle said it was not a 21. note, but a H. note, and com menced abusing the witness and the Plaintiff. They rang the bell, and called for the Defendant Rogers, who did not come np. They then went down to the bar to him, and told him what the dispute Irma that they had had with his waiter, and asked him to rectify it. He made no answer. but desired the Defendant Doyle to turn them both out, as they were swindlers. Do) le laid hold of the I'laintiff, and dragged Lim nut, and when he got to the door, Rogers tripped the Plaintiff up,. and he fell. He told the mob that they were both swindlers, for they had called for a dinner, ate it, and would net pay for it, which iticeased the mob, and they abused them very much, tare the Plain tiff's shirt, and they were ob igtal to lake refuge in the house of Messrs. Joiaft and Western, Bedford• bury. who kindly admitted them. Cross-examined by Mr. PAK. Q. What time was it when you aact the Plointiff. went to Rogeres to dine ? A. between four and five o'clock. Q. What time did you leave it ? A. About six o'clock. Q. You say, upon your oath, it was not later than six o'clock ? A. I do. Q. Did you see the note before the Plaintiff gave it to Doyle T A. I did. Q. Were you not intoxicated at that time? A. 1 was not, I was perfectly sensible. Q. What had you to drink at your dinner ? A. Two bottles of port wine and a pot of porter. Q. Upon your oath, did not Hog,ers say, come in the morning when you are sober, and if there is any mistake I will settle it ? A. lie did not. Q. Was it not you and the Plaintiff that dragged Doyle out of the House? A. it was not; Doyle laid bold of the Plaintiff. and Rogers assisted him in pushing us out. Q. Did not you or the Plaintiff break a pane of gl:isi going down Bedfordbury ? A. The striving to get away from the mob, broke a pane of glass in a shop window, and paid for it. Q. Were you not taken on a warrant, brought before a Magistrate, and obliged to find bail for this assault ? A. 1 was ; fur when the De readmits received a letter from the Plaintiff's Attor ney. they took a warrant out against me, but never prosecuted it. Gill deisoseil, that he lived with Jones and Western in Bedfonibury ; between eight and uiue o'clock in the evening saw the last Witness and the Plaintiff with a mob around them ; they seemed much intoxicated ; the Plaintiff broke a pane of glass ; went out, and asked him to pay for it ; the last Witness and the Plaintiff came into the shop with him. and paid Mr. Jones for the pane of glass. and they begged to be let out of the hack door to avoid the mob the Witness accordingly let therm out the back way. Mr. Tomes said this was his case. Mr. PARA addressed the Court and Jury very shortly. and commenced the examination of his witnesses. James Whiteman deposed, that be lived next door to the Defendant, Rogers ; that about eight o'clock in the evening he was standing at Isis own door, heard some loud w ords in at Rogers's ; went in, saw Rogers, the Plaintiff, and Thompson, standing between the bar and the coffee-room. — The two latter were very violent and much is toxicated. Rogers said every thing he could to pacify them, told them to come is the morning, whets they weresober, and if there was any mistake, be would rectify it.—Doc le the waiter came in, when the Plaintiff and Thompson seized him, one of them by the peek handkerchief, awl pulled him into the middle of the street. The mob called out shame, do you want to chock the man ?" The Witness assisted to extricate the waiter, who went into the house, and the door was shut ; did not see Rogers out of the house. The Plaintiff and Thompson made a great disturbance in the street, so much so, that the Witness was obliged to pin two wen at his windows to prevent them bring broken, and they threatened the men that they would take them to Bow-street, because they kept then► off from the windows. Cros.v-ezensked by Mr. TOPPING. The appli..ation, on the part of the Defendants, was made subsequent to the letter of the Plaintiff's Attoraey. hue Pike, an evening patrole, deposed, that lie opposite Mr. Rogers 's house, saw a mob ga thering, and two wen dragging out the waiter into the street ; as he was trying to extricate himself, one of them made a blow at him, which he missed, and f. ll dow It, he believed it was the Plaintiff. Lord EctLit nostoctir here interfered, an.) re (vomit-titled Mr. Topping to withdraw his action, tow Inch he consented, and it was withdrawn Sc- cordial STATE OF EUROPE. The following is a Statement of the changes which the lapse of the last twenty years has produced in the territories of the Sovereigns of Europe. It ought to be observed, that Prussia end Denmark also, (thanks to the Copenhagen Expedi tion,) which are nominally governed by their an cient Princes, are substantially the vassals of France ; and that Russia and Austria, humbled by the kite contest, dare not oppose any of the measures of the French Emperor. It is further worthy of remark, that when England declared war, in 1793, every State of Europe was iu arms leagued agninst France ; at the present moment, every . State in Europe, with the exception of Swe den, is confederated with France against England. Of the supposed dangers of peace we have heard much ; this statement will prove that war has its real dangers, and ought to open the eyes both of our Governors and the people, to the inexpressi ble folly of persisting in a contest, every year of which, while it distresses and impoverishes our own country, gives extension and strength to the domi nion of our enemy. After a review of the relative situation of Europe in 178i1, and in inori, we think no man, except he has wholly abandoned his judg ment to the guidance of his political prejudices, will venture to contend, that the friends of peace are not the beet friends of their country. Had their counsels been taken fifteen years ago, the appalling evils that now threaten and press upon us, would have been averted : those counsels were crontemised, how wisely, let the following document deter mine : .. . ...... 1ii44;. 14 nM / 5 14;4 1 Pig 411;Pre2;*[7:V;S:t: 4 82W>w1111...-. ».mio.
