What has I , ecn the nature of those disturbances between the shipwrights knd their masters?—ln June, 11120, there was em.l ployeal at a shißealled the Milo, one man in a state of inebriety in :the morning ; Mr. Grayson went up to him and told him he must retire from his work; he waa not tit to do his bovines.; and the other men came up and said—if lie gots we all go. Mr. Grayson Acid, he was not fit to remain, and should go, whaterec was the comer:mice ; and they all left work. „. pow many men might there be ?—About forty. They all weer an the quay; he waited till the afternoon, and then went and asked them whether they would go to work ? They said, he had lathr baakpit np with at man. He would not speak to him upon the tabaoet; and Mr. Grayson was obliged, in consequmee, to take his apprentices and complete the job without their asshtance, and suf. .16_0 no further from that. Did thtao coca return to work with him on any subuquent or iasion 7—Yea. Without any explanation or understanding having taking fiat ?—Yes. lie considered that they merely left him for that job ?—Ycs. Did he take back that drunken man afterwards ?—Yes ; but not on that What space of time elapsed from the time they left his job nn the Milo, until he employed them un the second jab?—Perhaps it might hare been on the following week or fortnight ; this man was always pushed in his way ; he tendeted his services, and Mr. 'Unman, for his own sake, was obliged to put hint on another ship ; ate was obliged to yield. further nodes was taken or that subject ?—No. Was there any other ease ?—Yes ; the ship !leery. Mr. Gray son was then residing across the water, in Cheshire; he was waited uppo by two of the journeymen shipwrights to say—that the men would all quit die Henry, and to request his attendance imme diately. He came ard 'paw them, and said, " What is to eo here ?'' Their answer was, "We are informed you have lump. this job, and taken it by the piece ;" he detlied that in the most solemn terms. What do you mean by lumping ?—The taking the job for so much money ; and if the men know there is any thing of that kind, they will not work at it. IT the men understand that a job is taken by the piece, they ob. 'ect to it, and will not work ; Shed is the line the ship car. s...hkre club Aare ldid down. They consider t h at when the mar. te-e have much interests* stake, they naturally hurry the work ut:.: for dui: own interest. After his pledging himself that that I was not the case, they said they had it front such information. that they could not look over it : and therefore they threatened to drill high tur env month, that they would not work for hint for that re. riot'. And the consequence was, that he could not finish his job, end hlessrs. Humble flurry, and Company, took the job ont of hot bawds, anal completed tt ; and he loci all the hew it litqfnuns. D.J those men, who had refused to finish the job for Mr. Onty. •son.inish the job for Humble, llurry, and Company ?-1(61, 'the' Nkrt same men. Could Mr. Grayson obtain any other gang to work un that ship ? —0 o resold not. J3'd he try ?—lie Are tile Committee to understand, that the carpenters. by that proceeding, prevented his finishing the work he had undertaken ? 17:00 Aid that all the endeavour he could make at Liverp ool, could sot enable him to obtain any other men in their place . That is ;1... filet. We may add another inconvenience, that the merchants et consignees of the ship suffering so much inconvenience, by put tiatotorc men on, refused to pay Mr. Grayson's bill, to the amount ofetout 201 which is yet unpaid, it being an object with them to finish the ship within a limited time ; the consignees were Wm. Marion and Company, of Liverpool. Can rem state any other case ?—The next was a ship called the Capt. Cobb. In August, MI, the captain and the workmen had some words, and he told them, that if they did not do Deter work than thbt, he would take his ship out of dock, ang go to the north. One aggravating word following another, awed tote men instantly to break off; Mr. Grayson, not aware of it till late in the evening, on being apprised of at, went to the dock ; the men had remit:mitt, their work. The captain or mate, knowing the laws of the men, had made an apology to them ; and they had _ goie down to work. Mr. Grayson called the men on the quay, hew, tag very indignant at the captain or mate's conduct, and asked the tr.:n to be candid and plain, awl state whom they considend the ma...er, whether he was so, or the captain of the ship ; one or two imirodiaiely replied, that he did not pay the wages. It is too true that the mercAentr pay the wages of the men in Liverpool ; and we shall never have the control of our men while that continues. The men said, that they considered the captain u their mister ; he ea.!, `. Go on, lads, and I will pny y ou. The consequence was, that the following day Mr. Grayson's apprentices were ordered by • the men to march 6C, or they would not work. On what account ?—Because he had an emolument analog therefrom. The boys came to the yard, and he sent them back vein, with a determination that they should finish the work with the men. The journeymen, resisting this, they broke off . fisr Mr. (;. , aywn entirety, at all his other sends, and reso l ve d they never mould come to him again till he m a d e a poblie apology. This was .n August, • he then tried foe neuly the space of six months so do witlint the;n, if he could, advertising to get men from dif ferent parts end plasm, which men, it is to be regretted, were very ..41 used and maltreated . . After being at an exorbitant expense i n wItMIO4I lbw men down, they were so worried, they we obliged to reehe. Again he found his prospects . quite damped, and that to had nOhnupsist of doing any thing in the town ; be left the totvo, and went to the opposite bank of the river, with a pledge leotn tim 1i1C,111411, generally speaking, of support. The dock osergim shut of water, the vessels could not all cone up, and his vessels being principally Americans, he had none which would yen. Luse to 0041141 011411 to him. The result was, that he seas obliged to col: his ercdbloer together, and at their request he was brought, fin• the Aar of himself and his fussily, to make an involuntary „alsgiggys• his men, through the esedisnrs of the pub& press. What has passed sines that ?—Before this apology was 171fitle • lir: tiny= wished to Make another attempt to get a ship called the flail, belonging to the present Mayor, Mr. Lawrence, into the gnawing dock, having a number of men working for him (Mr. Grayson) in Cheshire; they came over in a body, and thought they might Foremen themselves, being so grea t a num b er . Th e y Lad the blocks all prepared for the vessels coming in the following innaung. and to his great astonishment, the Li,.erpool carpenters went and took up Muse blocks of his and thrice Act's all oicr, and f‘e fuel tacos totally. Whom do you mean by the carpenters?—The journeymen aMp. Did they do that in the day, or the night ?---F-arly in the morn ing; be wits then apprised that he would be mopped by the men, and a threat was held out th at if hi s arrange men appeare d at the dads, thee, urntld nOrer. The conacquen..o was, they went to the Mayor, 111 r. Leyland. and told him he anticipated great danger, and requested his anis:once. The Mayor told hint very plainly he could nothing tiU an injury was done; be said, many liven nrcre 'lady to he hamodeil, for he was determined to follow up the war tore. The Mayors answer ea., " What dorm bother nolOr 1144 W '4 tyros bras! reedit( some Mjary btji,re can biterfitte.," or words to that effect. The result was, be was obliged to yield to the' rashes of the men, and to glee up this to another master car penter, and the men all flew away; one was injured in one place, anti another in another. It is easy to perceive that a system so mischievotsly in terwoven with the operations of manufacture as this, must be Utterly ciestructive to the trading interests of the MlA try, if it once became prevalent in the great manufacturing miens. If the masters have no redress from the laws, they have no alternative left ; they must give up their trade, or capitulate. •We would willingly open everywhere the market to labour, and leave the wages of industry to find their own level ; bet we would not lav the commerce of the eountry at the feet of the working classes, or leave the capital of the manufacturer at the perpetual mercy of a combination.

Mr's 0 LA" INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF IRMO'S BENCH, Tiro USDA', MAT 13. 1 THE COUNTY COURT or REQUESTS. THE. RING C. ii 50105 HEATH, usu. AND ANOTHER. On &former day a rule was obtained by Mr. French, tailing upon 'George Heath, Esi. a banister at law, and County Clerk of AI iddle. sex, and Mr. Dewed% his deputy, to show cause why a criminal infOrnintion should not be filed against them fur certain abuses in the practice of the County Court now held in King's:tut-street, Holborn. The rule had been obtained at the instance of a person named Huline, who had lately had a seat instituted against him in the I :aunt y Court by a discarded servant, named Bruck, to recover the sum of 391. ed. alleged to be due to the plaintiff for a month's wages, he having been dismissed without warning. The grounds on which the rule was obtained were, dint the County Court had exceeded its jurisdiction in admitting Ileock's suit; that it had ex torted excessive fees from Mr. Helium ; that it had not heard him fully in his defence, nor Allowed his witnesses to be examined ; deo it had ordered him to be ejected by fume front the Court-house while he was urging his objections to the proceedings; that it had refused to give bins on account of the fax when demanded; that the number of jurymen, by whom the causes were tried, was Issullicient, and generally . that the proceedings of the Court were contrary he the design with which it was imettuted, and the regulations pre. scribed by Act of Parliament. It appeared. from the affidavits in support of the rule, that the wages paid to Brock were at the rate of 34t!. per annum, anti therefore that his claim, in lieu of a month's warning, should have been for LOA : but as he could not ! have maintained his suit for that amount In the County Court, he I had been allowed to reduce it below 405., in order that he might obtain judgment in that Court, which, by Act of Parliament. has no jurisdiction in hi e etur pleas. A verdict was given for Brock, and fees were exacted from Mr. Iltilme to the amount of Cs 101 as costs of Court. Mr. llttliee WAS desirous of t eamining a wit. nese, named Perry, who could have proved, that when the wages due to Brock, for the time lie hed been in Mr. Hultue's service, I were paid to hen, he set up to claim for the month's wages extra, but went away satisfied with what he had received. This witness, it was stated, Mr. Hulme was prevented from examining, in con. sequsuce of the disorderly state of the Court, from which he was finally thrust out while arguing the merits of leis case. When he demanded a statement of the fees, and the authority under which they were claimed, the Registrar of the Court told him, that lie was not obliged to give any acconnt, nor would he. It further ap ; peered. that the cetows in the County Court are usually tried by I only three Jurynten, though twelve are summoned. Mr. :SCAR I.E T T this day shewcd cause against the rule. His affidavits distinctly negatived cvcry allegation in the. in support sof the role by which lir. llmees einduci could be affected. The joint afiittri: of the three je.r) :nen by whom Mr. Ilulme's cause watt tried, proved that it was Wiolly untrue that either he or Ilia ' witnesses were not heard its Ilia defence. Brock had been suddenly dienessed without reason, and according to custom was therefore en. titled to a month's wages, which he sought to recover. ,Mr. Hultne, in defence, alleged his right to dismiss Brock without warning, be ! cause he had been drunk ; and to mbstantiate that allegation, • wi'ncss was actually examined, who peeved that Brock hail been sick, hut, as it turned out on cross.exienieation, not from drunken. nese, but from a bilious complaint to which he was subject. Mr. Dubois, the Deputy County Clerk, left it to the jury on this tin drive. to my whether a sufficient defence hal been made out. The lure found a verdict for the plaintif, and than Mr. Iluirne became so turbulent, that Mr. Dubois, after several times admonishing , hint to desist, and not to impede the proceedin e s of the Cour:, was at ; Pmt.rth compelled to order tam to he removed. With respectto the 1 jurisdiction of the Court, it WWI clear that if a pinintiff chose to for. bear from suing for his whole claim, and thereby reduced it within the limits fixed by law for entertaining pleas in that Cart, it was not possible for the Ceurt to refuse to proceed in .11(e suit without a grim breach of its duty, which was to hear and determine all petty twit* below the sum of forty shillings. If a yeaintiff chose to sue for less titan be was entitled to recover, the Court could not refuse to give him the little with which he was willing to be content. No second suit could be maintained, either in the County Court or any other, for the recovery of what the plain tiff abandoned in the first. The practice, therefore, mild not be oppressive to defendants, bur, on the contrary, beneficial As to the excessiveness of the fees in this Court, Mr. Heath had two ex. cellent rules to guide hint in regulating them. The first was, the Act of Parliament by which the Court was instituted, and acCord ing to which the fees were on the strictest calculation ruefully ad justed ; the second was an opinion of the two Chief Justices, lewd Ellenborough and Sir Vicary Gibbit, who, after patiently intend getine a complaint a few years ego against a former County Clerk, Mr. Leach, had given their opinion that he was warranted in tak. ing ti . .me fees by a fair construction of the Act of Parliament. On a diligent examination of the records of the Court. It appeared that the same fees had always been charged. No pretence, therefore, could exist for Imputing it to Mr. Heath as a criminal act, that he had followed the practice of hie predecessors, sanctioned as it was by the opinions of two Chief Justices so eminert for their learning and distinguished talents. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue thpt the whole conduct of Mr. Heath and Mr. Dubois was fully justified. and every shadow of criminality removed from it by the contents of the affidavits which it had been his duty to bring ,under the ommitierefienet the Boort. Mr. BRODIRICR followed on the same side. The LORD CUIEF JUSTICE observed, that it appeared to him that every arindaal imputation was completely removed ; but the Court would hear what was to be urged on the other side. Mr. Fa emelt, in support of the rule, contended that the mats. rial parts of the charge had not been answered. The excessive fees extorted by the County Court front the wretched suitors who wane subject to its jurisdiction, were not warranted by the Act of Perlis. ment. The practice of the Court was framed in accordance with the interests of the County Clerk. In order to swell the amount of 'lts fees, contrary to the Act two orders for the attendance of the' delendain were issued instead of one. The fees too on the pro ceedings in conformity with the Act, exceeded the amount Axed by the Act A sum of as. 10d. was added to a debt perhaps . aelgi. mdly not exceeding tid. Was not this a monstrous oppression of the poor? and was it not highly criminal, when the design of these exactions was solely to augment an immenee laconic thus exacted from wretchedness and despair? The object in instituting this Court was stated in the preamble of the Act to be to prevent untie. cessary delays and expenses in the recovery of smell debts; yet in the practice of this Court, the Stu !DTI Sart:fed both from unnecess sary delay and unnecemary expense. The ennecessa e ry delay arose from the issuing era second order, where one was sufficient, and the unnecessary expeosefram the excessive fee* upon useless proceeding". It was imposelbes for any man of common arose, whose nand was not too much subtilised, and, as it were, turned away by constant idiots to make the worse appear the better cause, to eoubt that this Court was in prectice twos oupreesive, as hi is ceneructio it was most clearly contrary to the letter atsw of the Act on which it was founded. Tile Learned Gentlentaa-proceeded at consislerable length, and with great earnestness and allergy in the some line of argument. Ile was several times interrupted by the Court, who atlinoniebed him to speak with less asperity of the gentlemen un whose conduct lie was animadverting. Mr. H. Coorsa followed on the same side. The lAJAD LISIEI JuSTICE said, that the Court would not be justified in filing a criminal information, unless some corrupt prac. rice were_priara fork imputed to the parties against whom It was moved. The Court would not grunt one for a mere mistake or error of judgment. But how stood this case on the affidavits before the Court ? Mr. Hulme stated that he was not allowed to examine the witness Pear s but on the other hand, it was sworn, that Mr. Huline's defence was fully heard, and that his own witness had proved that his defence was groundless. As to his removal from the Court, it might have happened that when he found the Court drtermieed to decide against him, he had urged his complaints in such a manner r had induced Mr. Dubois to direct hint to with draw, that the buninessuf the Court might not be interrupted. As to the free, even if on a strict calculation it appeared that a few I more pence had been taken than the Act of Parliament warranted, the Court mild not treat the parties as criminal. It appeared that the wmic fees had been always charged, and that they were sane. Honed br the opinion of two very learned persona, Lord Cllenbo. nmgh and Sv Vicary Gibbs. At one time lie had doubted whether I ' the Court ought to discharge the rule with costs. It was stated on the alrielavita, that when an application had been made for an ac- CORM of the to charged in the County Court, the registrar had re. ' fused to give it. If this refusal had been made by either Mr. I heath or Mr. Dubois., the rule would have been discharged without costs; but as it was by another person, the Court could not apply to Them the criminal cousemences flowing from his acts. The rule therefore would be discharged with costs. Mr. Justice Ilav LET said, that if the Court had been apprised of the terms in which the rule would have been drawn up, it would have been refused in the fleet instance. The criminal acts were ! climaxed lo have been done either by 31r. Heath or his deputy. This ; he believed was the first example of a rule being served on a reason foe a criminal ofEsoce committed either by hins.ef or some one else. In griuning a criminal in fortuation,the el/Undischarged theseme duty a as a Gland Jury, aad milers sonic prima fin* came could be out, a (hand Jury ought not to liner a bill. (in the merits of the case in the County Court, he was of opinion that them& should be refused. It was the practice of those Courts to the plaintifon I s his oath, and it the defendant did net contradict it, they were sc.:, cestomed to pnieced to judgment on the plaintiff 's oath. The! , Court weak! have stopped the arguinent of this rule sooner, if it had not been against two gentlemen who were charged with sane. doming practices by winch small mine were drawn oet of the pockets of poor men. Lest any suspicion might have remained upon them I Gentlemen, the Court owed it to them to sift the matter to the I bottom. In ins (Mr. Justice Bayley's) opinion, it had appeared I clearly that the fees were strictly warranted by the Act of Parka. meat. The opinion given by Lord Ellenborough and Sir Vicary Gibbs was alone sufficient to justify Mr. Heath and Mr. Dubois l front the criminality imputed to them, because if men of such great talents and deep learning, as Lord Ellenborough and Lord Chief Justice Gibbs, were mistaken as in the construction of the Act, it was easy for them to be misled. The rule must be dia. charged with costs, because the Court would never have granted it in the first instance, it' it had been known how it would have been drawn 110. Mr. Justice IfOLROYD agreed perfectly with die opinions of '1 his learned brethren. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was of opinion that the wend: of the Act clearly warranted the issuing of two orders for attendata. Buie discharged with ousts. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, THURSDAY, MAY U.

Mr, Sergeant l'h lIAN appeared as counsel for the plaintiF. to show cause against a rule. The was a merchant tal !Aver. pool. Thedefeldant was master of the ship Hannah. T:As deems. ration contained two counts. The general Isaac wag pleaule.l, nod the Jury gave a verdict of 51W. Ifts. ea. A rule for a new trial had been obtained by 51r. Sergeant Teddy. It appeared that 51r. Orr, ft merchant at Newry, was in the habit of consigning shipments of butter to the plaintiff; and he frequently drew bills upon the nimbi tilt. in anticipation o f f urt h er consignments. In the year 1819, the plaintiff, in consequence of the had state of the batter market, was desirous to wind up his accounts with Mr. t ire. Ile therefore weete to SI r. Oer. declining any further consignment, and asking fur his !account. Mr. the, however, continued to ship a further consign- I thent lot 2011 casks of butter by the Content, ar.d drew upon lthe plaintiff for LOW. Mr. the fell into difficulties, and requested as ! sistancefrom the plaintiff The dealings between the parties were general; but the particular ground of the present action avow from the shipment of a qua n tity o f butter on board the Hannah, for the !plaintiff, a balance being then doe from ()re in his favour. The butter was not delivered to the plaintiff but taken hack to Newry. ; Sir. Sergeant Vaughan submitted that the rule obtained should be i discharged ; amt was proceeding with his argument, when I Slr. sergeant Tabu" was called upon by the Court to reply. ; lie contended that as this was an action of assumpsiOnot of (rover, the plaintiff had no right to recover ttuin the defendant. There was no contract between the plaintiff and the defendant; there was no correspondence between them. The defendant was the mere shipper of the goods, and if Sir. Orr these to have the goods biwk it did not make the Captain liable. The goods belonged to Orr, for no new advances had been made by the plaintiff on this specific transaction. If this had been an action of prover the case might have been otherwise, but the goods were in fact Orr's. There was a draft upon the defendant, tacked to the invoice, and that dealt the plaintiff had not horroureeL The value of the butter was 5101. Iris. W., and the draft was for bOtW. This, he submitted, was sufilient evidence to conclude it was drawn upon that particular consignment. Slr. Anderson, the Learned ....rearit -.intended, had repudiated the goods, for he wrote to Sfr. Orr, to say he hail as much butter RI he could sell. Ile meant by the terms of his letter that no more consignments should be made to him accord ing to the old mode, viz. with a burthen annexed them. This case was different from any other that lie remembered. Upon these grounds the Learned Sergeant submitted that the Captain was not liable. 1111eess IMF JUSTICE was of opinion that the Jury had found rightly, for by the bill of lading he had undertaken to deliver the goods to the plaintiff. Isis brother Teddy had taken two objec tions, one a technical objection, the other on the merits. It was contended that this action could not be maintained as an action of assurnprit Ilia Lordship was of opinion there was no ground for that ohjectiot. Upop the justice of the cam the question was whether there was evidence to support the finding of the Jury. His Lordship was of opinion that there was evidence to support the verdict. What coafirmed his Lordship in this opinion, was the account set out between the parties ' to which his brother Teddy had not adverted. If it had appeared that these goods had been sent specifically upon the condition that the plaintiff should give accerances cn account of them, the plaintiff would not hare been entitled to recover from the defendants but it appeared that the goods were sent on the old terms. His Lordship was of opinion that this verdict ought not to be disturbed. .Mr. Justice Pant and Mr. Justice Ihlnnocon concurred. Rule discharged. WOOLEN r. ♦KDREWE. This was a special case. The action was tried in Somersetshire, before sir. Baron Hulloek, when a verdict was given for the plain tie: The question now =se upon a point reserved on the con struction of the terms of a will. Ilfr. Sergeant Vaughan argued the case for the defendant. It appeared that the circumstances which gave rise to the action were these :—The testator, by big will, bequeathed certain property in equal shares to six c h ild ren; but in the event of either of them dying without issue, the share of that one should be divided among the remaining five. It so happened that four out of the six had not issue. The will itself, it was admitted, was extremely confused. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan's client was not entitled to a sixth part only, but claimed a moiety, to which the other parties conceived he ea not entitled. CHIEF J xth, Brother Vaughan. it appears, will not satisfy your client, for that Is ready for him ? Sergeant VACI:HAN—No, my Lord, we want a half. We con tend for the cross-remainders. CHIEF duvet( t:—My difficulty is to imply cross-remainders, when the words of the will are to pre to the survivors. Mt. Sergeant 'Fanny appeardt for the heir-at-law, and argued against the cross-remainders; •belt he was afraid the object of the testator could not be exeettied. The will provided that the estate should go to the lestater's children, and to their children successively. Clime ineerce—The object of the testator was, no doubt, to give an estate to his children and their descendants, in per petuity. Mr. Sergeant TADDY agreed. That appeared to be his ob. ject ; the testator, however, was not aware that it could not be carried into effect, as cross-remainders to the grand-children would be contrary to the rule of law. He contended, that where the intention of the tattoo, could not be effected, all the Court could do was to allow cross-remainders to the children, not to the grand-children, and then to give the estate to the heir at law. Mr. Sergeant Valli:maw replied. His Learned Brother had I appeared to think, that because their Lordships could not give effect to the whole of the testator's will, they were not to give effect to say part of it, The Learned Sergeant argued to the contrary. The Coe IT eeferrel giving judgment. PREROGATIVE COURT, MAY 13. ELLII AID OTHERS T. IWO. • Sir Jong Nteame gave his judgment in this cause. There ware two wills propounded, each purporting to be the last will and testament of the accessed, Mr. William Ellis. The first is dated Md September, IttiO, and the second on 18th February, 1822; on the 19th of the following month he died, and probate was taken out on the 20th ; the probate has since been tailed in, and the executor, alr. John Ellis, put on the proof of it by the parties to the former instrument. The first will is extremely short and simple, devising all he property, real and pausal, equally among his nephews and nieces, Wtlltam , George, and ohm Ellis, Mrs. gempson, Mrs. Ilalford, and Miss Ellis, and appointing the nephews executors. This document was signed by him, anti wit nessed by his two great nephews and another person. The will of February, 1821, is of considerable length, being on eleven sheets of paper, and is of quite a different tenor from the Cornier one : it bequeathed to W. and G. Ellis 1,0001. each, to Mrs. ilalford 5001.. to beq ueathed Eempson 5001. per annum, anti to Alias Ellis 15e1/. per annum, and all the remainder of his property, teal and persoral, to John Ellis; it also appointed John Ellis th e sole executor. The real property estimated at 5,0004 or 11,0004 and the personal at shim 30,0001., partly inherited by the decea. - ed, partly purchased, aid partly devised. The two documents therefore presented a very strung contrast : the first dividing the property equally amongst the nephews and nieces, and the last giving the .bulk of it to Mr. John Ellis, who was a younger nephew, to tl.e disinheritance of all the others. The f ac t was, these persons were not, in point of law, the deceased's relatives, although he had so considered them, because there was a beanies of illegitimai y between them; therefore it became necessary to make the next of kin, 3lrs. Meux, a party to the suit, who did not manifest any opposition to the first will. 11 f the second will was invalid, John Ellis had no interest in opposing the first, because! one-sixth of the property was thereby bequeathed to him ; and if the first was invalid, the other parties had no interest in opposing the second, because they were in some measure therein benefit ed. Now the testamentary capacity of the deceased became generally the leading feature in these eases: he was, at the age of 78 years (in September, 11320), attacked by a paralytic stroke, which, at such an advanced period of life, greatly affected him. He was attended I by Iris friend and medical adviser, Dr. Morris, who found him labouring under a failure of speech, and a total loss of his right side. lie got rather better, but in the following winter he relapsed, and iris mental &amities were much impaired. In February, 11122, he was again seed with another attack, and his mind fell conse quently into a state bordering . on indiflieence and inattention ; and, according to Dr. Morriss amnion, he was totally unfit for giving the necessary instructions to such a voluminous document as eleven sheets of paper. Several other witnesses corroborated this statement, and Mr. John Ellis himself admitted that he was occasionally light-headed and in a state of incapacity, and there was no proof whatever put in by Mr. John Ellis of the deceased's state of mind f or t h e l ast y_ear of his life. All his domestic concerns were managed by Mies Ellis, and the money necessary advanced by Ale. John Ellis, the ; deceased never once inquiring how the money for the domestic pew- I pose• was obtained. The second attack took place before the execn tton of the second will, at which time Dr. uteri, says his debili tated state had greatly impaired his mental capacity. The law re quires not only that the deceased shell be ID sound mind. but memory and understoodieg." according to the principl e l a id do wn . far back as iiag 3.wa3 .Thes Mat etephew was a clergyman, and the others in the profesaion of the law, and all had families. It appeared that the firat will was executed without the deceased's directions; bat lie afterwards recognised it in the presence of several persons; and although it was equitable. in some degree, to the nephews and nieces, still it was to the prejudice of the lyir at law ; as Mr. John Ellis was a party or melt to the first will, it did not become him now to say that it mu invalid, fee if it was, he,' as its agent would not headiest risking another still stronger in his ! I favour. It did appear, however, from all that could be learned, that the deceased always intended an equal distribution of his pro- , party anionget his nephews and nieces, and there was not one who seemed to possess a superior claim to the others. Where a profess sin m( man actod as time ?gent of a will in his own favour, the Court always looked with a great deal of suspicion upon every dream- ; stance, and considerable mot' was necessary to be produced. In ; this case retry step appeared more difficult and suspicious on the pert of Mr. John Ellis. The deceased had on various occasions ; ; been pressed to sign the latt er d ocument ; b ut h e h a d a l ways post-; ; poned it by saying he would consider of it. _ i The Lisomed Judge then went throlKh the whole of the wit. news' testimony. and concluded by granting the probate upon the first will, of September, IBM.

PARRICIDE. DrATH Or Mt. alltOollY, WHo WAS STAMM!, BY HIS SON. —This unfonunate victim to the irraseible temper of his own son, expired yesterday morning, at half past 8 o'clock, et Guy's Hospital, to which pLice he was conveyed almost immediately after the unna tural deed had been perpetrated, The son, by whose act he had fallen, is only 17 years of age, and has been : rdr the last four Great yeas in the employ of Mr. Howley, an ironmonger, living in Hover-street, within two doors of Mr. Gregory's residence. Up to the present transaction he has borne a good character, and was thought a mild, quiet, young man. Indeed, so favourable was the opinion enterts.:3ed of his temper, that the first neighbour who was apprised of the event, declared it was imssible it could be George who did it, for he was too inoffensive. The horrid transaction took place on a Sunday morning, shortly after George had returned from Mr. Howley 's, where he had been to finish some little task that had been left undone the night before. The family had finished their breakfast, and George sat down to breakfast by himself. One of the younger children asked his father for some more breakfast, who, thinking he had had enough, refused giving him. Upon which George exclaimed, " But he shall have some more, and with a knife in his hand advanced towards the cup ! board to cut him a slice of bread and butter. Mr. Gregory rose to zventniiiiicslviolatlto.n aof&isl°rdt r , and pushing his so from the struggle ensued, in wh ich the son, losing his self-eominand, plunged the knife he had in his hand into his father's left side, Just above the groin. The young man, sod one of the family who witnessed the deed, are understood to speak of it as having been accidentally perpe trated in the course of the struggle; the rest, we balm, declare it to have been intentional. The knife with which it was erected was a large clasp one, with a sharp point, and which was used generally by the family for domes tic purposes. By a strange fatality. the lather had that very more ing sharpened it, and the unhappy man mournfully observed, as he was being conveyed to the hospital, that he I , ttle thought, when sharpening the knife, that it would be so soon employed against himself, still less that it would be so used by his own son. From the first Mr. Gregory was thought in a most dangerous state, and it was therefore deemed expedient that his evidence should be taken down ; accordingly a Magistrate waited on hint at the hospital a few days back, and received his deposition. The miserable young man, who has thus been the occasion of his father's death, has made no attempt to escape, but has re mained at home in great distress, and expressing the deepest re morse. immediately after his father's death a warrant wee issued for his apprehension, and he was in consequence, yesterday, re moved from a home which he has rendered desolate, to Home monger-lane gaol, where he will remain to abide the result of the inquest, which will beheld on the body to-morrow evening. During the time that Mr. Gregory was in the hospital, his family were unremitting in their attentions to him, and he has fee quently on those occasions inquired after his son, and seemed to derive pleasure from finding that be was not in custody, and that he expressed sorrow for the act. lie has left a widow with eight children, who, by his death, are thrown into the greatest affliction. From inquiry we learn he has had 14 children in all, six of whom have died ' • and from the heavy expense of so large a family, and his having been,by a malady under which for years he had laboured, incapacitated from performing much work, lie had extreme diffi. culty in maintaining his family. POLICE. GUILDHALL. George Newnan, a powerful young fellow, was brought up be fore Mr. Alderman AwsL n, charged with a street rubbery, under the fallowing daringly impudent circumstances:— About eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, as Mr. Morgan, a tra veller fur a respectable lace-manufacturer, was passing through Gutter-lane, hews' met by the prisoner and another man, the latter of whom, immediately upon their coming abreast, observed to aim very coolly, " I must ease you of this, young man," and at the same instant drew his watch out of his fob by the chain, and ran off with his companion towards Maiden.lane. Mr. 3lorgan pur sued them ; but coming in contact at the end of Carey-lane, with a person who was hastily turning the corner, they both fell, and by the time Mr. Morgan had recovered himself she thieves were out of alert. The hue and ay, however , had followed the prisoner up Foster-lane to Cheapiii&„ where he was stopped by the passengers; but no penes appearing to charge him with anything, be was per. edited to on, when Mr. Motgan coming up, he renewed his pur suit, and the fellow was ukhrwtely secured in St. Maitin's-ls-Grand. Mr. Englthart, pork-butcher, was called to his door by the II so sod cry, and seeing a greet crow d coming along, be extended his arms to prevent them pressing into his shop, when the prisoner thrust Mr. Morgan's watch into his hand ; at what time he had obtained possession of it from his accomplice, who had originally seized it, did not appear. The prisoner when called upon for his defence, declared " upon his honour," that he never had! the watch at all, nor even seen it; and that it must have been somebody else in the crowd who thrust it Mt° 111 r. Englebart's hand, lie was drunk, he said, at the tiers' ha Was stopped, and had no recollection at all of what took Mr Mr. Morgan, however, being quite positive that the prisoner was one of the fellows who attacked him, and a whole host of en amel, who were with the crowd in St. Martin's-le-Grand at the time, being ready to prove the fact of his having thrust the watch into Mr. Englehart's hand, he was committed to Newgata for tzial• BOXY-STRE ET. ' Tut Risro--Yonterday an application waa made to Sir R. 811 l N It, at this office, by a rich man, well known in the sporting ' world, fur a warrant to issue under Lord Ellenbomugh a Act, against another " Sporting character." for cutting and maiming. The following are the circumstances under which the appli=thln was made:— It must, we suppose, be known to every body. that a pugilistic match was fixed to take place near Royston, Cambridgeshire, on Tuesday, between Joah Hudson and Sampson, the Birmingham Youth. The match, however, did not take place, and various were the Mien assihmed—some alleging that "Josh" had been bought, and that it was to be a cross-fight ; and others, that those who had ventured their money upon Sampson, were afraid of the result, and had mations/red to bring about a wrossArk, in order to prevent the fight taking place, and save their debts. It has been since ascertained, however, that the real cause of this baulk to " the fancy," was this two or three knowing ones had backed Hudson to a very large amount, at odds, and up to a late period, previous to the day appointed for the fight, they had the most um bounded confidence in the integrity, as well as courage and skill, of their man. Then, however, a hint was conveyed to one or two of the chosen, that Josh had been boned, and his backers were to be sold--in plain English, that Hudson was to lose the battle at all events. The chosen thereupon lost no time in arranging a plan to save themselves, and they despatched two renowned pugilists to the intended scene of action, with plenty of cash, and directions to offer any money upon Sampson. even at odds. In this course they had a double object ; the probabilitras that such offers, coming from such men, would give rise t aw much suspicion that the sporting men would withdraw their sta es, and the fight would be spoiled ; and again, if the combat actually took place and a cross was intended, the projectors of this notable plan would make them si Ives pretty nearly safe by their bets upon Sampson. Their plan SliCerCtied st, far as to prevent the fight, and desperate quarrels in more quarters than one have taken place in consequence. On Wednesday evening the present applicant went into a sporting house, where it was his fortune .to meet with two persons who " were :backers of Sampson. They immediately taxed him,"and in no very gentle term., with having been instrumental in stopping ;he fight; he denied it, and a quarrel ensued, in the course of which the person against whom this application was made, threw a pair of snuffers at the applicant, the pointed end of which stuck in his cheek. A scuttle took place between them, and they fell, and during the struggle upon the ground, one of the com pany culled out that (the alleged assailant) had a knife in his 'hand. In a moment after the applicant received a cut with some sharp instrument, immediately over the eye. They were then separated by those about them. Under these circumstances, Sir R. 'Ernie granted a warrant, and Ruthven and Bishop went in search of the accused, but could nut find hint, and so the case rests for the present. 3IA R -LA. BO NN E OFFICE. On Wednesday night, J. Williams, a man dressed as a sailor, was brought from Harrow, by Harris and Ooodes, constables, charged with a daring burglary, on Wednesday morning, in the house of Mr. Bird, confectioner. of Ilarrow.on.thc.llilL day he was fully committed to Newgate for trial. THAMFB OFFICE. Yesterday J. Salim', T. J. APCarty, and C. Horn, well known as canal a gora were placed at the bar of this office, before T. Rice'sELL, Esq., the presiding Magistrate, with feloniously stealing sixty-two pounds of rope, from two the property of Mr. Orange of Blackwell. The agistrate informed Finch, that as this from circumstances appeared to be his first offence. he was discharged; but as to Sul livan, Riley, M`Carty, and Horn, he convicted them of a misde meanor, and sentenced them to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. UN&ON lIALL. Yesterday a man, named Reardon, was brought before R. J. efiI.MNEI2%. Esq., charged with breaking into the Bell public house, in Falcon-orourt, Southwark.
