COURT OF CHANCRRY—Avs.IIS. - THE WON. NEWTON FZI.LOWIES IY AV NATTER OV EARL OF PORTSMOUTH, AN ALLEGRO LUNATIC. The ATTORNZT-GENSRAL.-11eSS is a matter of the last importance before your Lordship; I allude to the Petition of the Hon. Newton Fellowes, in the mat ter of the Earl of Portsmouth, in reference to the bearing of which 1 am at precool only ittatracted to ask your Ltirdsbip to fix an early day. Mr. Ha r.-1 am'of opinion (though the only know ledge I hereon the subject is gathered fronithe brief which I have the honour of holding for the Noble Lord, having received a retaioerythat the case must of necessity be very long; bat I bog distinctly to be understud that no convenience otAine wit interpose when the Court shall direct it to lie discussed. The Lonto•CoattcehLoe.--elt twig stand the first cause on the list after tt.e next seat; or on the other hand, if it be approved of, send .the affidavits on both sides to me, and I will give you my opinion as to their contents; but as to sitting in Court on Wednes day, I will got do that to please any.n.u. Mr. HIALD.—TIPE Coot has heard the.. application made on behalf of the Petitioner. the Eon. Newton Fellows.; and also /fr. Hart, en the pan of the Earl of Portsmouth; but your Lordship is aware there is another interest not unimportant, as regaids the cos• sideration of this case—the interest of Lady Ports mouth, which I represent. I think your Lordship will not be of opinion that any blame attaches to my client, in not having filed affidavits, when it is stated, that on the other side affidavits have been in a state of preparation ever since the 9th of.llly last, and that we have not received any notice evin to this day of their application, nor have we had any means of oar own of knowing what was intended to be done. We have given directions for office copies to be furnished with the greatest possible dispatvh ;Jot some time must necessarily elapse before we can receive them.— The Solicitors is this case have been removed by his Lordship, the alleged Isaiah:, and this circumstance in itself has, sot without reason, excited considerable suspicion in the laud of Lady Portsmouth. 1 trust the Court will allow us el:facies' time to meet what has been advanced against es.—lndeed, for my part, cannot see any reason why the matter should be thus pressed: and therefore, u the other side has not ex• hibited even common condeaceesion, in 'giving in copies of their affidavits, I do submit that this cause should be taken in the regular and ordinary course. The Loan CnaNcintoc—Tlie eommou and regu lar course in this Court varies with the nature of the case before it, but in the ordinary acseptation of that term, it certainly does not apply to cases of lunacy, where, when commissions are sought to be taken oat, the ordinary way, as I take it, is in vacation to send in the affidavits on each side to the Judge for his consideration. Mr. Ilium—There are great suspicions eatertalo ed, at present. are only suspicions, but which if confirmed, will render it essentially necessary for the honour of the Court, that the affidavits should be re ferred for scandal as well as impertinence. The ATTORNIY-OgysaAl. and Mr. HART were sur prised that the Learned tientletuan should advance such assertions, when he professed entire ignorance of the contents of the affidavits. Such observations, if necessary at all, should be reserved mail t h e dims bion of the case. Mr. HEALD not the conamanicatios from mother party. The LORD CIIAN . CILLOR said. le would take this epportooity ofinspressing on solicitors aid professional gentlemen. that it funned part of their duty not to publish in tito oewspapers soy of lb* ovidonee or trans "miaow consected wit► this goo before Ailey anise ►e fore the Court. Mr. HSA LD wield sew state what, in his opinion, would greatly facilitate the hearing of this ease (for his pan he did not wish it delayed a single moment longer than was neeessaryo that was, as affidavits had Wes filed, that copies should be banded over fa each aide; this would furnish his opponents with au opportunity of setting an example of fair dealing. Mr. Haar said, that no ono could doubt the right of Lady Portsmouth to be argued with the greatest deliberation when the proper period arrived; but those who represented the Earl of Portsmouth could but regret any offensive observations which night .be made in the absence of the circumstances of the The LORD CUANCRILOR said, that be bad once be- fore occasion to examine the present question with re , sped to the same individual. which, be coati well re collect, was no easy tank. For the present he mid contest himself with saying, that although this might net be a case to warrens a commission of lenacy• be ing taken eat. still there was another 'node which might be adopted ; he alluded to Midst care of Lord Portsmouth. _ _ _ After a few further observations from Comm!. the subject dropped, bat whitest any day being ap pointed.

Bowditch, aid Jame Seerkit, severally canes up to be heard oa their witless to be discharged, and opposed by Mr. Pot.t.oci, on behalf of Mr. Hunter. the solicitor. Joan and William Bowditch are two if the persons whose ease for a long time excited a considerable de gree of pubic attendee ; and ea its development no small share of public spmpathy in oessequenee of their prosecution by Maria Oleos and her conspirators. Jas. Seeded is son-in-law of Joao, and brotber-in-law of Wm. Bowditch, Mr. Harmer was a creditor for the harms of his bill of costs, le defeeding the Bowditches, and pro secuting Maria Olsee for which Scarktt had become security. Mr. Poit.oct said, the object of the opposition eras merely to inquire law the property of the is solvents, and net at all to delay their discharge. The isseivents all stated that they bad assigned their whole property for the am of 1,0214 which bad bees all 'speeded in the law proceedings in which Maria Olesa's prosecution had levelved them. Mr.l Harmer's bill of costs amounted to 5641. of which 500/. 1 bad bees poid. Mr. HZATH, who was Counsel fir the laselvests, ob served they were the meet iajared family . ** earth ; 1 they hed all, autos, who had the good formes to be in Ireland, been totally rained by the foulest conspiracy that over bad boss contrived. Some of them had seek lite the grate seder the weight of their suf ferings. Mrs. Bowditch was is tears derieg the time of her eamination, which the Iseeevoleace of the Court and the opposing Counsel made as abort as possible. They wore all declared intided to the benefit of the Act. Mr. Harmer. at the request of his Ceases', was ap pollard Assignee. POLICE. Hurinuatt..—Between the boars of twe and three in the morning of Saturday, the 27th of July last, the family of Mr. Laurie, mapseller, No. 53, Fleet-street, was alarmed by the watchman, who on going his rounds found the outer door of his house open, and upon examining the premises, the counting-house bad been broken into, the desks opened, and property to the amonet of 251. in Bank notes, and upwards of 401. in new sovereigns, taken away. A more minute survey of the premises was subse quently made by Harrison, one of the marshal:nen, when it appeared the Iron drawer containing the pro perty had been °petted with the regular key, taken from another part of the desk , which must have bee■ done by some person acquainted with the plass where it was usually kept. The house door also, which was known to have been properly secured at night, ex hibited no marks of havin g been forced open, and the lock could not have been picked from the outside ; from all which circumstances, it was evident that the robberry had been committed by some penes within the premises; and in consequence a young lad, named Charles Robinson, who lived there as an errand boy, and slept on the premises, was apprehended upon sus picion, and underwent several examinations at this of fice- Another charge of robbery was preferred at the same time against the prisoner byldr. Collin, of Con duit -street, with whom Robinson had lived previously. A box of wearing apparel, the property of Lord Jobu Hay, had been delivered to him to take to his Lord ship's tailor, in Mount-street, but which it was said bad never since been beard of. Notuithetanding every exertion and inquiry that could be made, not a single tittle of evideace could be produced to impli cate him in the robbery at his maser's, and after hiv ing been confined eight or ten days, he was discharged from this office, and sent 111 custody to How-street, to answer the complaint preferred against him by Mr. Collin the latter offence haring been committed in the county. Here, again, he was fortunate, for upon fur ther search the trunk %vas foetid at the house in Mount street, ■od the innocence of the prisoner thus fully established. From that period no trace whatever had been gained relative to the robbery at Mr. Laurie's. and Robin son having been discharged from his place, all hopes of discovery had been given over. Early on Tuesday morning two chitnuersweepors, a into and a boy. called at Mr Lturie's, saying they came from Mr. Brown, of Wet' Mane, to sweep the kitchen chimaey. As Brown was the chlutoepoweeper regularly employ ed by Mr. Lanrie. the shoputan who saw them sup posed it was all right, and gave them directions to come and do the job early OR Friday morning. In the course of the day, however, he (the shopcum) sw cidentally met Brown, the muter chimney-sweeper, in t he street, mentioned to blue that somebody from him bat bees at the hone* respecting sweeping th oc hi t. ney, sod it being inconvenient to Brown, to do it $2 Friday, it was finally fixed that Ire should mod h r men far that purpose on Thursday morning.

Notsiithstandlse the stringth of this evidun Robinson declared himself wholly innocent of ben fence. He denied till knowledge of the two chime, sweepers, sad had bad any such commniestu with them, nor did he even know that Mr. Bran Was the chimney-eireeper usually employed.

Mrs. Butler, still pawing gel agitated, replied—" I am tired from running upstairs so very fest." Some other eviileoce was given, Deal much importance. Mr. ALLEY examined the differeat witnesses, bow thing could he ext•acted from them to shake this former testimony. The prisoner declined producing my evidence. The Magistrates were of opinion that a sulfides case was made out to authorize a commitment, asi Mrs. Butler was ordfwed to Tothill-field's Prises' take her trial at the next Middlesex Sessions: sri the parties were hound over to prosecute. Mr. Attav then said for the prisoner, that trel reasonable indulgence had been shown her on tas: part of the Magistrates.
