1 rig' blue V. emuAN AND PERUrr. fN COMPA N Yesterday a meeting of the Seriphohl•r4 the above Company was held at .Batiton's Cotfee 'louse, i pn the .ibth J uly . ut ,„ ant to a tr. solution passed at a meeting of Scriphol,l-rs held o at Mr. Clark's members. Soon after one o'clock 31r. (lark was elected to the chair. prior to the commencement of the proceedins, a gentletnn asked if reporters were to be permitted to remain in the room, at the same t.tne observing that he had himself no objection to their On scrirle 0 POOr liter so. M " r. Cesare %air , that he saw no ohjeteion to their proceeding% heieg made public, and should not therefore oppose the presence e t n ee g %minium whatever. 3lr. Clerk then entered upon the 'ruttiness' of the day. and said that that meeting was ‘alled in con. v ",,,,, f ict of the Wesel of the Directors of the Contrary to convene a ie eet ee k , whet a requieition had been rheented to them for that purpme, signed by vetoe r 41 names of Scripholders. The answer which Mr. Bent ga theequieition *4ll,th:it the Director+ wont,' r e d happy to eel the tree in:, if those peranne whose mimes ap peared .o the requisltioe lied signed the deed of tettlement ; hut that they did Dot deem themeehres eustilled to cell it upon a mixture of moues of those who had and who had not eubscrend the deed ri settlement. In order that he might be clearly understood, I: weak , hi necessary to enter into a brief history of the Company. According to the pr emectus originally put forth, the capital of the Coal, any was to oe one million, (tended into ten thousand shares of leaf. eseh, fee the purpose of mining in Chili. Peru. and ottier South Americaa rravincea. From the deposits advanced upon the nettle tirriber eubseriptiore, there Wee enough of ninner col lected et commence opereeone, and a vessel watt accordingly en gaged. with twit tennmiesiontrs, fifty miner* and officers, .in order to work the mew* as toot no poseitle. The name of the vessel was the Oima. A Conunisliontr of the name of Andrews had been despetched fee the minnow of securing certain mines which had been tanked out foe hint. As soon, however, as be arrived at Buezios Ayres. he pmeesled in a direetion eifferent to that which hail been vetoed out to him. He p e nneeetil to Tier:doze instead ofSt. !ego, and front thence wretwatfi elf the Conlilterae, where there wee ecateely a bunion being ; so that, even if the mince could have "ern obtained, it yield have bet n mitred) , possible to work them. Ile, however, kept en hit course until he found himself in Peru ; eni, in the interim, the agents of a rival Comp my went to the pent whither he had been directed to proceed. and secured the n enee ; end thus their plane were wholly feestrated. When the thee. , arrived at its destination. and until heal nothing of (lateen Andrews, they were welly at a loss how to proceed: ar lengte. Captain Bagn 4%1 res eyed to try and fled other m i re ., but his search for them was fruitless, with the excep t; ii , of a copper mine, *high it was said they lied begun to work, but that was by no means termite In coosequence of this condo. t, %et Teone had been% ent out to supersede Captain Andrews. as he had heed that day infinities!. The vessel which took out Cate ain letenold had a fraght of mining app e teatus, and aim apperame for a eerizetium though, if thelatter was their object, it was so itewhat singular that they had not male :he miners take wit!: them their w 'Tee and f: mein. This vowel was. he understooea freighted at a very h e avy It ight, and it belonged to me of the Directors. The great pint of contention—elf contention it might be called—between the Directors and the Saipholtiere, was that the runner called upon the htter, under these circumetancee, to execute a deed of settlement. Ile believed that the Directors were perfectly aware that, if they presetuted the plain, they could not bring it to bear; it would re q ere too gent a capital, and a management totally different from that which had hitherto governed its proceedings. Ile believed that City had it privately in mind to dissolve the Company. This was see the wish of tae Scriplueders, b.% t they wished to do it in a dif- ferent menner. lie believed that the reasoning of the Directors, at present, was to the following purport: —We have not, in this busi ness, exercised a sound discretion ; we have done certain thin!. may rat be al together justifiable ; and we may. in einsemetnce. be called upon to refund. But if we can get the Scripholdert to subscribe to the deed of settlement, that will be as indemnity to us. Thus they reason, and by way of shown;; the Seeitheldere the necessity of subscribing to this deed, they say, " You cannot dissolve that which is only in pro:gem—you must make e - a Company before you tan levity diaeolve it, anti that you c in only do by su p to the deed of settlement." Now sign ing this deal embraced so.rething more titan granting mere in dearly, and therefore the Seripholders should guard against it. Ji they meant to rroiente the object for which the Company was !VTOL it was very well to sign the deed of settlement ; but if not , the Scripholetre might fairly say, " It is very well for you to hove teas deed exemted. bin not ter us ; for by refusing to sign, we get T d of the responsibility we s hould otherwise take of relieving you." ort looking into the cencerns of the Society, the Seripholders eeould find trigeactions which they could not possibly coneinetid, o ught they r.orWpause. and to impere ? and, even asauelieg teat el war honourable and fair, still had they j right to be as certain of the rounds upon which they were proceeding as the Director , were tun cf those upon which they fininded their proceedings. Ile had r.ad the deed of settlement, and though some thing+ in it were ob. j xtionable, yet in other respects it was fair and proper. It was, however, warily drawn, and one impertent clause, a hich lie lied netlooked in the Gist renting, gave the fullest ineeninity to the Directors. In consequence of a deputation which had waited on the Directors, they had changed the line of conduct which they bad fine marked out, for the original draft of the deed wh.ch lie had seen partieularizea all the transactions for which the Directors sought indemnity ; but all this is left out in the deed, in the thitd clause of which is introduced a peragraph, empoweriag to Dinectere to amatirte, emefirm, and CATTY into execution, or an nul. all seeh contracts as may have been made by themselves or their Agee t., aed to pay theforfeitures upon such contracts. If the Script of lets signed this deed, the Ihrec ors would - be in posses. con of a doottnent witich would sanction the most improvident centrum ; a Itanmion which, until they underetoed the nature and extent of thooe contracts, the Scripitoelers, as prurient men, ought tee to give, not the Directors, as honest men, requite. \Veit re god to the papers from which the reminee information - was to be %teetered, he had applied to the Directors for peentiesion to inspect them. which was agreed to ; but when he went ter the office for the pirpese of doing so, the Secretary said that them was no written order to that effect upon the journals, and without such order he told net permit the inspection which he sought. This was a pal paeie ev a on, and threw a difficulty in his way which he had not y.tbe.n e tabled to surmount. Ile made a - second application, and yes a second fete similarly treated ; wid; on the secondoccesion, the Director who had told him there was 710 objection, was present when the Senet.ry refused to permit the required inspection. Upon appealing to that Director, lie evaded the htesinem by saying. that as fJasheffall concerned, there was no ohjection.lie bad subsequently awn reel that the Directors were apprehensive that his object was to obtain such infonnaeon as would enable the Scriphotilere to pursue legal stem to recover back their deposits: Upon hearing hue, 1:e Wormed Mr. 31aples, one of the Directors, that the weremietaken in inmutirg to him such unwort h y mu:len; that all be eq tired war fair sod satisfactory information ; and that if any gentleman was base enough to pursue such a step ler such a dis h o 'I purpose, he, for one, would not set with him. He had punned the mate line of conduct in the Hominess Company, when .11r. Plummer and his Geer - tames were imbued - with the same fear. They hart purcluised, fur is certain purpose, 4,000 of their own 'hares in one day, at a premium, charging the on thereon to the C napsny. Their refnaal to have their papers inspected went far in e made nnatien of their conduct in purchasing these shares. Know eg the illegality of the traneactien, they dreaded lest the sub scribers should proceed to recover their deposits. They resisted a claim uptick a bed principle; but still he thought it would be a tied principle tot them to apply to the Directors for informetion for eteeturpose of making the n legally responsible tor their actions. 'The ma of justice would he hest at; tuned by honourable men, gleaned by dispassionate reasoning, and_ inllaenced by just mo t.ves. He trusted the Scripholeere wpuld not weigh every teing tau acmpulously, but make liberal allowances for such error:4 as eangeine pe.sone might be easily led into. The number of shears signed for was three tholeend stud twenty-eight out of ten ftereatritt, arid all those who had thus made themselves parties to the deed were Directors, with the exception of four or five. One of the Denton could not sign it, harem; become a bankrupt, and two oe the Auditors refused to signet, and unless the signatures of all . the pa-ties could be obtained, the find could not become With respect to the eituatinn of the Seripholders, they were now aitaa , ad thus-11 the Directors could obtain a sufficient number of craters to warrant them in calling upon all holders to Men, they omid then declare as forfeited the shares of those who might tee few to sub- nib. to the deed of settlement. Ile saw the name of .trbutha.4 down fur 200 shares ; other gentlemen in the direr, t. m had alai a Lege portion, one person putteessing no less thee 700, veil. Mr. 3lsplee, else a Director, had only ten shares. It was itllpmeriltle that such unequal allotments could have been made in tee first internee, and the inference to be drawn therefore was, that erne had sett' a portion of their *hares to those pentane whom they reell nor deprive of those benefits to which, as original Scrip. beidise, trey would have been entitled. It they ehouel penitent in doh% se, it would be as dishonourable an act as he lied ever known any set of men to be guilty of. He _would then. fore call apart the Scripliolders to keep their minds in a state Of suspence. If the conduct of the Directors appeared to be fair, he was sure tint lime of the Shareholders would objet to bearing ibis portion V the loos; but if they had been guilty of any thing diehoroumele ear grossly improper, surely it would be taking too much to require titeScripholders to bear the hisse Ile hoped, however, that the re sult would prove eatisfactory to all parties, for in consequence of an explanation he had had with Air. Naples, that gentleman said, Oahe would TeCOMITICTIII the director , to accede to the request of the ScripiniOns. 31r. 31.tplee, of course, could give no pledge upon the part of the Directors, but as he was their legal &dottier ! it *Remote than probable that his recommendation would be fol. leered. He hoped that nothing would full from any gentlentan upon that Occasion which might cause the Directors to meet thal4 their object was improper, and that they would therefore Gwen to it. lie had only to observe, that he believed the Directors were convinced that they had not % used doe Precaution is carrying on the scheme of the Company, and that they would act differeney liel they again to recommence their Pmeeteings. Before they had shipped off a number of person' fur the rtouth American Continent, they should have tint secured the tai Before they had p arted with the tummy entrusted to them, they should at hair hate known from whence their returns were to be reel rid Ile had reason to believe that the Directors had come eo the cor.claeion that gold and silver ore was to he fouled in 'bulb. tierce in those countries, but that Its collection, its manufacture, rid carriage. could come to more than its value. They had cone tlutney sent out ol d er+ t o p u t a atop to all further proceeding*. e They had on iginally ordered the purchase of mines to the extent of 41 . 400 e, but in December they bad sent orders limiertg that ex. e Penditure to _:.„fit,;, th'lstand to this no answer had been received, so t tS C l : j e''"lellt nem - tie_ that no contracts had been entered into, un. • PgC:lti i n the hat:tier of ;he country had made them prior to the arrival of the despatches. In the formation of the Company, he believed the Direciorn themselves were seited with the mania with which the public mind was overcharged. emiltilat they time r, re depended rather on the judgment of ushers than on their own. lie !whored they would at last a:knowledge their error, and throw th.mselven nn the merry of the Seripholders ; and in that event lie leaped they would be an nicteiful as citcsonstatieen would admit of. Mr. Clink then concluded by rending a Resolution, which he hoped would meet with thee approbation of the Meeting. It wan to the I effect of appointing a Committee of five S:teloholders to , ommuni : cate with the Directors relative to the inspection of their documents, and to report to a subsequent Meeting 'hereupon. I dlr, Ham aro:on then moved the Resolution. Me. filo etUAN, in seconding the Resolution, bore testimony to all that had been advanced by Mr. Clark. lle was himself intimately connected with the Directors, and individually there were not more rempectable men in London. They night have committed errors in judgment, but he was perfectly sure that they were guiluy of nothing fraudulent. From what hal fallen trout Mr. Clark rela tive to the Honduras Company, it might he inferred that the Di miens of the Chilian and Peruvian Mining Company might also have been trafficking in shares, hut he felt 'maiden' that the would turn out not to be tide case. They haul (lone every thing . for the hest ; and the reason they would not grant access to their docu mem, was, an apprehension duet Mr. Clark had same legal steps in view against them ; but if' they knew Mr. Clark as well as lie I did. they would never have entertained the idea. He had him elf been invited over and over again to itispect their books, and they would , he had no doubt, admit any gentlanun to du to, nu limited by that Meeting. With re-pect to the deed of neteement, they had merely fiellowed the advice of their legal adviser; and he would ask, if any person present was similarly %emitted, whether he would rot be anxious to have an indemnity for his conelact ? Ile would, for his own part, if so situated, court inquiry, but he would also seek for an indemnity. With respect to the losses of the Compeller, he hrel no doubt but they would be met without any forth. r call upon the Proprietors. Mr. CLARK repeated what he had berme stated, as to the inequality of the shares held by the Directors; and wish respect to the extent aloes, although it might be as Mr. rtfurgan hai stated, yet if any of the agents chose to he dishonest, the most serious losses might be apprehended; and it should be remeenhered, that for 2011 shares, open which the holder nubscriberd 1.0001. if he signed the Owed of settlement, he rendered himself liable to 44 fall extent of 20, 1 e005. • After some further conversation, the resolution was agreed to; a: d Alessrs. Clark. Morgan Smullbone, Barber, and Huguensoo, were appointed an the Comodetee. A vote of thanks to Mr. Clark, for his conduct in the chair, was then agreed to; after which the 3leetirg separated.

EXECUTIOA% This morning the sentence of the law was carried into effect upon Charles Coßison, tried and convicted of sheep.etealing, by the name of Butcher, at the last June Sessions. Previous to, and a short time after. the arrival of the death-warrant, the prisoner lin pugned the verdict of the Jury, by a declaration of his innocence; but as the hour of death approached, he manifested a more proper feeling, and in the end refrained from exculpating himself. Yesterday morning he was attended by the Ordinary and Mr. Baker; also by Mr. Isitt, • butcher residing at Bedford, in whose service the prisoher had lived for three years, and maintained an ex cellent character. After the prisoner had engaged in prayer and religious conversation, he partook of the Sacrament, the nature of which, from a religious education, ha appeared to he ac'ivainted with. lie arose early in the morning, and wrote several letters, and an inscription in a prayer book, given him by Mr. Shetiff Kelly, I which book he presented to his late master. At eight o'clock the officers arrived. and pinioned his arms, dur ing which time the prisoner was engaged in fervent prayer, in which exercise he continued until his voice was lost in death by the handl of the executioner. The following letter was written on Saturday last, by the pri armee, and addressed to Mr. Isitt, his late master, which was read on Sunday evening, in the Methodist chapel, at Bedford, and produced considerable effect,al the unfortunate writer was formerly known and respected in that town : " Cells of Newgate.Satorday, July '29, 1824.

COURT OF CHANCERY, EDXESDAY, AUGUST 2. The LORD CHANCSI.LOR vas detained in his private room by some Counsel and Solicitors so Ling this morning, that lie did not get into Court till half-moit n o'clock. COVENT-HARDEN THEATRE. CONIT v. moms. The Lone) CHANCELLOR coneitlered that the following order might he made in this. cense t—i That it being established to the satisfaction of the Court. that prise Fe the psonouneing of the decree in Const v. Harris the Illastr e bad jeroeettled in a eonalelasablaas tent in posing the Reeeircriaccounta, under the order of the flth of December, len, and that between the time of pronouncing the decree and arch decree baying been drawn taw, the Master had fur ther proceeded upon such mounts, and neatly to the conclusion of t those accounts upon which he had proceeded ; let the Master Me ttler proceed to conclude the taking of those accounts which had been in progress before him, and sign his report thereof. Then let the Receive?s accounts, subsequent to those upon which the Master had proceeded nearly to the conclusion; end if there be any further account to be taken, let them be proceeded upon by the Master name' in the decree. There was another difficulty which ought to be cured : the Court had ascertained, that after the Mane?a report was signed, now and then a warrant was taken out to review that report. Mr. HEALD sail, it was quite certain in this Identical ease, and pet freely understood among all parties, that what had passed before the Master would have to be reviewed by the Court itself. The LORD CIIANCELLoa observed that that was quiet a differ ent thing. It was not very congruous that one Master should re. view the report of another Master ; and, therefore, Master Dorrilea well might review Master Croft's report in this eau, and then the whole could be brought before the Court, if the parties pleased. Rut it seemed to the Court to be absolutely and imperatively clue to &Mines, that what had been dote* wider an interlocutory order should nut have to be wholly, or even partly, gone over again, before soother Master, when • decree in the cause was pro nounced ; therefore the Court would either have to direct the Moore, who had the proceedings before him, under as interlo cutory order to finish his report, to the proceedings to be carried over to another Master, to be taken up precisely where and in the state In which they had been left off by the :Raster who 11241 had them. There was precedent enough to authorise this arrangement, which the Court should certainly adopt. There was another ques tion, which was, what was to be done with respect to the Receiver's accounts as they now stand, upon what has passed before the Master This point his Lordship will dispose of to-morrow ; and in the meantime, as he was determined to set this important point of practice at rest by a precedent in this case, lie desired again to see Master Cross behue lie came into Court to-morrow. In the coarse of yesterday too different Counsel addressed the Lord Chancellor for leave to give notice of minim.; for injunctions. They were sorry to have hal to trouble hi' Lordship; but the Vice. Chancellor had refused thin], saying lie should not be able to get through his bankrupt petitions, and therefore he should not be Li tter:need by any motion. The Lorin ('erase E LLon was quiteastonished to hearsuch state. moire. He should give leave to give the notices, and desired the gentlemen to ray to the Vie eoChancellor that he draited him to hear them.. He used the word desired, because he thought that the most respectful. If gentlemen were to look at the Act of Parlia ment, appointing the Vice-Chancellor, they would find that it Ives quite incompetent for hint to say he ehoold not hear any thing the Chancellor pleased to order him to hear. Ac. cording to the present practice, leswever, he seemed to direct the Chancellor, instead of the Chancellor directing him, be. cause his Lordship appreheadideann Jmo bransie st this Cram livid a right to refuse to hear motions At injunctions at any time suitors chose to apply for them, either In or out of the vacation • and lie would take the liberty of raging, that he should not suffe r y branch of the Court to regulate hie hearings either directly or indirectly. For the Vice-Chancellor to say he should not hear t.n injunction motion till torten he had heard the bankrupt petitions, what was that but saying that the Chancellor should beer it before he herd his bankrupt Whim'? and he should wish very much to know where the reasonableness of that was. His Lordship would add, if notice or motions continued to come in as thratly as they had doge lately, he would have to sit in the evening as well as in the morning. Mr. Mote did not know when it wotdd he over with his Lord. ship, but he knew very well that it would soon be all over wish his Counsel if he ret much longer. The LonD CHANCELLOR did not think that killing his Counsel would be any great sin, and therefore he could not give them much hope of a speedy cessation. IN THE MATTER OF HINDE, A LUNATIC. The LOAD CHANCELLOR said he had read the petition pre sented in the matter against Master Stratford, praying that the Court would order hint to make his report immediately upon the proceedings in this matter before him, and that he should not leave town until he had made it ; lie hal also seen the Muter himself, whose. conduct was referred to, and he thought the petition was a petition upon which he ought to make an order. lithe petition had staled that the parties were disputing about whether the 7000!. way not a most extravagatit auto to be laid out on expenditures, and that some of the parties .had applied to the Master to have such a sum laid out as the Master might Mire thought reasonable under the circumstances before hint, and under the circumstances the Master had stated to him (the Lord Chancellor), he should have known what to have done with such an application ; but upon the present petition, ditected against the Master 's conduct, he could only dismiss it. Mr. TINNY hoped the Court would dismiss it with oosts. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that he ought to give casts. Mr. iinatm, who appeared fur the petitioner, begged that it might be understood that the Court gave eests, not because there was any merit in Mr. Tinny's client, but 7cause the petition re flected on the Muter. The Loan CHANCEL Loa said, it was not because the petition reflected on the Master, but because it reflected on hint without any just ground. lie could assure Mr. Heidd he should have thought it his sacral ditty, if, upon seeing the matter, he had thought there was just ground fur the application, to have so expressed himself; but his opinion was that there was no ground, rind, indeed. that there could handy he any ground for such an application. NVllat. ever gentlemen might :look. he hoped he was very far from letting the practices of this Court break down the judicial authorities of this country, mien there was a fair ground for it. MolleALD thought there never could be a fair ground for it. The LORD CHANCELLOR was not et all of the same opinion he thought there might be a case in which there was a very fair ground fqr it, hut the present was tilt that case. The truth seemed to be, that when a reference was made to the Master, on which lie was to exercise hie judgment, the gentlemen who obtained the reference thought the Master might to adopt their judgment. lie will give such an order ta the Secretary about the coats as lie hoped nu one should have any recto to quarrel with, but that toute one would quarrel with it, he did not doubt. IN THE MATTER OF SCOTT, A BANKRUPT. Mr. MoeTaGe moved, on behalf of the anignees in this mat ter, that 14 petition might stead peremptorily for Saturday next. The petition was for an order upon a very 'respectable Solicitor, calling upon him to pay into Court a sum of 1500 h, which lie had got into his hands, belonging to the bankrupt's estate. The LORD CIIANCELLOR, after some hesitation, made the order. METCALF' v. )10l'e0N. Mr. Rountr. stated, that in this ease a lady of the name of Metcalf, and a gentleman of the name of l,t'cott, were severally possessed of certain estates, of which they made, belore they juice. married, satisfactory settlements. It was also agreed that 2,; ; 00/, should be advanced to the lady for outfits, which, hosevcr, had not been pvid, and the present application was, praying that the Court would anima a petition for an early day, the object of which was to obtain an order directing the trustess to pay 2,0001. to the husband. The Loan CHANCELI.OI I said he would answer it for the cause petition day, but not before. Ile hoped that day was not far dis tant, though he did not know how far. DELAY. PAYNE V. BEIRIDOE. Mr. SHADWELL moved that proceeding in this cue might be stayed until an appeal could be heard against what had taken place in the case. Mr. Hrstn opposed the application. Of all the bold and bare faced application,' he ewer heard of, this bore away the bell. This was a ease in which the firlay that had occurred hail been enormous; he bad intended stating it before the Chancery Commissioner, but he afterwards thought It would overload the report too much ; and therefore be abandoLed his cot intention. i.n estate we. sold by the Rev. Mr. Burridge, in the country, to an attorney of the name of Sytnon Payne; the contract sus entered into in 1796. and the bill was tiled twenty.one years ago. The contract was drawn by the attorney himself. and he Agreed thereby to ply 4,1601. for the emote. upon entering into the con.ract, and having possession de. livered to him. At that time he paid o.le pound On acceut:t of t purchase-money, and fro!: that time till this not a (setting more had ever been got from him. The honest clergyman, being s quiet and well-ditqwwed e.an (iv Mr. Heald quaintly stated), and having been sickened with this suit, had a great desire never to be a party to anoeher Cli.tnerry suit; but was moat anxious to ;! , ..t out of this one, that be might die in peace. lie had found that lie had as little chance with Ltwycr Syninn Payne, as he would have with a tiger, if he had met it in it forest. The Learned fieni!a -' man went through the different proceedings in the caitsc, and then hoped the present motion would be diantiari with coats. Mr. SIIADWLLI. said Mr. Payne was quite unable to p.y the money. He had be, n in Salisbury gaol for a great many yeses. lie had conveyed this very estate away for the benefit or his ere ditOrs in general ; the troidees had entered into a contract to sell it again. and there was another cause pending in this Court respect ing the title of this estate. The Vice-Chancellor hail de ,reed that lie should pay the purchase-money, together with the coats. Tho Master had reported the amount due, but Mr.' Payne was most anxious to appeal against the report, and therefore lie board the Conrt would stay all proceedings till the appeal coull be hcattl. The LORD CIIANCELLOtt never knew a case in which a men wax less entitltil to intlubceme than Mr. Payno was, in the prevent east, and would not stay the pros ectings one hour lonizer than giv ing him the opportunity of renaming the ac unt of tile purchase money, together with the 200/. for costs. into the hands of the Ac countant-lienerld; and unless that was done before the office ..absed, the Court would dismiss this maim), with costs.

OXFORD CIRCUIT. • . .. ..--.., iltAturonp. MONDAY, Jtivir..2l. The Amine terminated here this day. The only remaining e..ass noesessing any kind of interest was the following. DOC OM DEMISE OF IHE DM THOMAS MORGAN, D.D. V. JOIIN NOIIGAN. This was an action brought by the Rev. Dr. Thomas Morgan, elder brother and heir-at-law of David Morgan, deceased, to re cover from the youngest brother of tie fnnily, Mr. John Morgan, considerable real and personal property, to the amount of nearly 10.00 W. siture at Devynoth, in the coon y of Brecon. %I•nles. The cage on the pan of the plaintiff consisted in the supposition that at the time the teak:tor, David Morgan. made the will under which the def e ndant claimed, he was dead drunk, and incapable of know. ing what he was about. Mr. TAUNTON (with whom was Mr. RUSSEL and Mr. MAU t.E) commenced thecase of the defendant first, he being tenant in possession, and in the Knit instance called witnesses who proved the following facts. The testator, David 3lorgan. was a remarkably penurious mem Ile had inherited his It ruse and estate from hi, father, and had received 6,0001. in money at his parent's dca:h. In dustrious in habits, though somewhat addived to drinking, he had, by exertions as a farmer, and great economy, realized a consider able sum of money in addition to his patrimony, which lie had in creased. As a manifestation of his miserable stingine.s, he used to keep his accounts on old newspapers, the barks of electioneering and auction bills. and write his few familiar letters to his friends on the backs of other letters. On the evening of the 3d of January, 11122, after drinking a glass or two of ale, lie rose suddenly from his seat at the kitchen fire ((n which. kitchen lie was in the l.abit efl living with his servants), and went to a desk in the same room. where, on the half of a cover to a copy-book, with the wood-tut of a lion on one side, he penned this most extraoiclinary will. " January 3d, 1822. "In the name of Gol, Amen. I give to William (a natural son) as in the Bond, as in'ercat of 5001. during life • to Howell Jones, apprentice, as he will :rake a rotor life, with the secan4 of the Pursou of the Parish where he live, the sum of M. a year ; and all my property and arms of all claims I shall have, I give to my brother John Morgan, but my mother is at liberty to give a thousand pound property where she please, " This is 'Masi w,ll. " DAVID M onaco." While writing this will, about bk o'clock in the evening, he ' , wit Howell Jones, who was a parish apprentice, in his service, to bring Jenkin Price, an old servant, to witness it. On the arrival of Jenkin Price, who was a common labouring man, lie made him, David Davis, a servant in his ftmily, and Catherine Thomas, another servant, come over to .he leak where he was writing, to see him sign this,his will. They did so, and afterwards attested it David Davis by signing his name, and the other two by making their marks. He then deposited the will in Ida desk ; and as two of the attesting witnesses swore, gave them three pint cups of ale each afterwards. Catherine Thomas said Itlv^ saw no ale dra:A, but she was backwards and forwards from the scullery to the kitchen. CAMPDEL r. and Mr. RI^IIA ens were for the plaintiff, and ilEfinerrtly t .. ";itti ; e'ie'clarritront that their master was drtink when he made his will, and that It was made in a mere inebriated frolic. They positively denied having made tiny such declarations, but dltreted in minute particulars as to what passed at the time the will was made. Other witnesses were then called, who proved that the testator, during the four years between the making of the will in question and his death. which was on the 16th of January List, repeatedly declared that he had matte his will, pointed out the kitchen desk Ls its depository, and stated that his brothtr . John and his children should inherit all his property. (In the close of the defendant's case, Mr. CAMPBELL beg Fed leave to take the opinion of the Court upon a point of law. Supposing the will in question had been duly executed, it would not carry any real estate, because the word , ing of it merely applied to personalty. The only word employed which could carry any thing was " property ;" and the heir at law could not be disinherited by implication ; because. according to Lord Coke, he was the favourite of the law. The words on wh.ch the Learned Gentlemen on the other side must contend that the realty passed were these: And all my prop.) y, and dims of Shims I shall have, I give to my brother John 310rga.." The Lamed Counsel submitted that the word " property" could not be et/specked as bequeathing really, because the very same word W 3% subsequently used in devising personally in these words: " but my soother is at liberty to give 1,0001. property where she please." Mr. Justice By itnovc H said he would not direct a nonsuit upon. this objection ; but as the point was important, he should reserve it, and advise a special cue to be stated for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench. Mr. CAMPBELL then addressed the Jury at considerable length, contending that it was impossible, front the very lace of the will and the witnesses he should produce, to suppose that this will was made at any other period than in a drunken moment. Wuneues were then called, who proved that the attesting wit nesses to the will had told them that the testator was drunk at the' time the will was made. Mr. TAU :.:TON replied at length. Mr. Justice Btu astoron summed up, and the Jury found for the defendant. This verdict is subject to the opinion of .he Court of King's Bench, on a special case stated, with respect to whether the words of the will carry real property, or not. MONMOUTH, Tri:I'PAY, A CO. 1. The Assizes commenced here this morning, Mr. Justice Bra novo n presiding at the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Gansow on the Civil 1:41e. CIVIL SIDE. MALICIOUS PROSECUTION. WELCII3IAN V. JONES AND DAVIS. Thin was an action brought by Mr. Henry Welehman. a re spectable linen-draper residing at Bristol, against the defendants, who were a linen-draper and an attorney, at Abergavenny, for a malicious prosecution. • Mr. TAt tiros, with whom was Mr. CAMPBELL, conducted the plaintiff's case. In the month of February, Ma, the defendant, Edward Roger Jones, being e linen-draper at Abfrgavenny, wished to dispose of his stock in trade, and the brother of the plaintiff. 31r. John Welchman, sent the plaintiff front Ittistol to Abergavenny, for the purpose of concluding a purchase of the whole stock in tratle. A negotiation was entered Into, sod a memorandum of an agreement was drawn up, which the plaintiff very innocently, ard, as the Learned Counsel conceived, very correctly. signed with hi, bro ther's name. The purchase was then concluded and the sue,: ef fected. Bills were given by John Welchnian, who, however, be came bankrupt, never appeared to hit commission, and the bills were dishonoured. In the month of July following the delentlents thought fit to go before a Magistrate, where they made information on oath that the plaintiff had frauduleetly personated his brother IJohn, and thereby cheated the defendant Jones out of his pro perty. Having so done, they procured a wart int fur the appreften mon of the plaintiff, and the letter which they wrote to die eon a able, directing him to execute the warrant, clearly showed that the defendants acted from a malicious motive, and with a view to extort from the pltin . iff payment of hie brother's bills, which had been diehooourtil. The letter was an follows: " Abergavenny, July CA Mere " DEAR Stn,—l have to request you will immediately attend Mr. Roger Jones to Bristol. on a businees which interests me very particularly. Mr. Jones will name to you the particular.. The person you are to bring over to your house at Usk, without suffer ing hint to speak to any person in Bristol, and when you have hint thus side the water, you will be good enough to inform hint that he is taken on a charge of forgery, and if lie wishes to save his neck, lie had better make arrangements to ply the amount of Mr. Jones's. demand, by which you may say you have an idea he may be set at liberty, hut otherwise he must go to prison. You must not suffer hint to write to any one without first sating his letter, and knowing the eon tents,ot berwise he will be bri gi og over some person no better than himself, to gift him advice; but if he writes fur the means of procuring discharge, namely, the money, there will be no objec tion to it , being sent.

Junes did net make his appearance, and in consequence the plaintiff was not taken be fore a magistrate. Jones was sent for, but could not be found. Mr. Weichman then said to Davis, •• You are the prosecutor lied not Jones, for you discounted the bills ;itis a trick of yours." Desert said it was very hard lie should lobe the amount of his money. The next morning, at nine, was fixed for going before a magistrate, but the defendants never came, and in consequence, the plaintiff, with his solicitor, went volunatily before the Dee. Mr. Powell, who discharged him, as no evidence appeared against hint. The information and the warrant were then put in and read. Mr. licsbec took several technical objections upon variances between :hese documents and the manner in which they wets set out in the declaration. Amon;; others the Learned Counsel said that it was averred in the declaration that the warrant had been backed by Thomas Ilaystill, Mayor of Bristol. when by the si,y nal tire of the Mayor of Bristol, on the back of the "errant. it ap peared that gentleman's name was Thomas Hassel.
