HENRY CHARLES KNIGIIT, an infant. 111 r. ‘Vtt.t.ts, junior Counsel for the Plaintiff., stated, flirt tlos was a 101 l filed by his eli•nts for a sio•enyery, nod to perpetuate the testimony of the Delet.lntit's under the following eir- citor.titoces :—The lair Earl of eatheriough, other - wise Carlow, tlrvised by his will, dated the I'll) of February, 177.2, to the Plooststi; Robert, cerroits estates Im lite. without impeachment of waste. with rettiiiimler to his male issue iii tail, and in default thereof to the Plaintiff, Ilenry 'Weigh Knight, and Ins nude ioue ; and in default thereof to the inter, of Robert aid Henry Raleigh Knight, and tlitir male 14%11Y, and in di:fault thereof in revert In to the daughters of the Plaintiff. Robert. The Plaintiff, Itulwrt, after the death of the tes tator, became possessed of the estates, as tenant for hie, told on 11, 1791, married Frances Dor mer, and had issue one sun, since deceased, and two daughters, now living. In the yrsr 1804, some differences arose between the Plaintiff and his wile, and they agreed to live separate and not to cohabit together, and • deed to that effect was executed, by which he allowed her an annuity of 8001.. per annum for her separate use, and the Right Hon. Charles lord Dormer, was appointed trustee under the deed for Mrs. Knight, ewer sitter which time they had lived apart from each other. On the 7th of October, in the year 1813, Mrs. Kuigh. was delivered of a male child (the Deltaiclaut), and she had him baptised in the parish church of St. Mary le-hone, on the elst of May, Isl 4, by the name of Henry Charles, the child of Charles and Honor Frances Knight, of the parish of St. Mary-le-bone, and is now known by the mime of H. C. Knight, and is residing with his mother near Gerrard's Cross, in the county of Bucks. The bill then charged that the Defendant and his mother p►etend that he is the lawful son of the Plaintiff, Robert, and is entitled to all estate tail in the estates bequeathed • by the Fail of Cattierlough, in preference to the I other I'laintiWs. It appeared that the Plaintiffs, henry Raleigh Knight, Charles Raleigh Knight, Tine Knight, now Fuller, and Frances Elizabeth Knight, filed a bill in that Court in Trinity Term, ISIS, and a commission was directed to examine witnesses, but they now set forth that they have discovered various other facts which they were then ignorant of, the testimony of which it was yam material to be perpetuated. The present bill then prayed that witnesses might he examined un der a commission, so as their testimony might be perpetuated a. to the illegitimacy of the Defendant. To which bill the Defendant put in a general de murrer, on which it came to be argued before the Court. Mr. AGAR, Counsel for the Defendant, stated, tins was a bill of discovery. The first question to be consideied was, whether a person could perpetuate evidence to facts which he did not set out in his bill. It only stated, that they had found out new facts since the close of the last comMisiion, which was a very protracted one, there was application after application made to the Lord Chancellor to enlarge the time for keeping the commission open ; at last his Lordship, after hearing a considerable discussion, clissed the cotamissioii. If witnesses were allowed to be examined against the infant, the Defendant, they must be exparte, as he Was without a friend, and was unable to protect him self. It was, however, impossible that a bill filed to ripetuate evidence could stand, without it stated what they intended to examine witnesses to. Rut there was *wither reason why the demurrer ought to be allowed, which was, that one of the Plaintiffs was an infant, Dud he did not sue by his next friend. The VICE-CnaticEttoz—" Then it ought to ; be a special demurrer as to that point ?" Mr. AGAR said, be did not think it necessary, as it was a rule of Court that an infant was not entitled 1 to relief without he appeared by his next friend. The Vic[-Cusacti.t.ott---" Your demurrer stater, that none of the Plaintiffs are entitled to re- 1 lief by their bill, and you now admit they all have the right but the infant. It is perfectly clear, then, that there must be • special demurrer. It Was the saute in the case of Lord Cholminideley and Clio -1 ton ; there the demurrer would have been good if special, but it was overruled because it was not." Mr. Rootst.t. followed on the same side as Mr. Agar. I Mr. WINGFIELD, Counsel fur the Plaintiffs, stab ! ed he had to support the bill. The Vice-Cusitcsi.tout" The first difficulty you ban to get over, which is the allegation in the ! hill, is, that diger' facts have come to the knowledge lof the Plaintiffs, without stating what the Wets were." .... kir. Wmanum said, iu his humble judgment, it would be tivw iu Courts of Equity In viatc tlte citic facts ill a bill of duioHiurr. Suppivir the preyetit cote %fond without being prejudi ced b y the first bill, arrays df the Plaintiff (Robert) with Kitightr the rittevtimi would turn 00 81.4:001 or 000.. from 18114 to the year 1813, and distill 2 which tulle he had 110 :ICCY.B 10 her, yet the Defendant Wll4 born. the intent thei. of the bill was 10 00111116 e witneviei to that Ito t. if it was itecetwary to rtitte every fact in the 1011, they could out examine wit-. 10.1, , r8 only to what the bill contained, but by lite rule of the Court 'herr Wa% 8 genera) tnterrootory exhibited to wititr...e., beside the facia iu MI bill, calling oi l them ru declare their knowledge of all the transactions in the canal.. ;IN he then to he told, however coitipheatctl the facts were, thst they ought to he set out to the bill ? The ca.-es stated by the Lewin-4 Counsel. on the utn•r side, us to the io eight of %ray arid right of conimoo. were not point—fur, in *ads eil6r"4. lot WAS I tworr It W 4 110 t 1114C1rilt to say that there WY% a right of way "r right of common, but that the iiperitie light inua.t be art forth ou the record: but in the prebein bill they set forth it specific fact which they wanted to prove, intercourse o► tion-ititerrouil.e between the Plaintiff, Robert, alai his wife Frances!, front th e year ItiO4 to 1813. On the hearni4 of the tart Ka!, the Lord Chancellor did nut think it was ne cessary that all the facts should be specified in the record—why, then, should it he fl .cnrlry in the second bill It vt...0.1‘)1y wee 0 flew otojection, Hid cone the could so.,t stand. The Learned Counsel had said, that their client could nut know to what facts we intended to examine the witnesses ; lie would till them it was to the IleCC*B or flou-acr,,ss of the .parties to each other. ail they wstot it to be specified in the bill that on ,tielt a - day, hod iii such a month, the Plaintiff. Hobert, was su en gaged, that he could not have a tommunicatiou with Jlhs. Knight ? The VICE-CHANCELLOR- 4 ' Suppose the Plain tiff, Robert, was not a party to the gust, might not the Iltrfolls in remainder prove the divorce which took Wart between him and Mrs. knight, and would nut that be takiiig the Defendant by sur prise ?" :11r. Wri4en:l.n said lie *mild then take it its another view : the Plaintiff, Robert, was not a party to the first bill, the children of !henry, had come in essay biller, and, as to them, the pieseist was a new suit, and if lie could prove that only one el the party had come into essay since that time, the general demurrer could not staud. It was it mis take tl,at they could have the benefit of the pro ceeding. under the first suit, as they came then into C urt f..r the first time ; they had stated on the record the circumstances of the separation, the birth and ehristeisiii,g of the Defendant; would it then be said that they had not a right to examine on naves to the new facts. and perpetuate their testi mony ? U oder these considerations, lie hoped his honour would disallow the demurrer. Mr. HEALD followed on the saute side, and said, the licit question was, whether she parties to the first suit could -file a new bill on stew facts, to perpetuate testimony ? The way lie Inked at it was, that it was not necessary for every person in terested to be before the Court, where a hill was filed to perpetuate testimony; for installer, in the rase of Lord Durslry it was determined that any person, how far off he might be interested, had a rir,lit to tile a bill to perpetuate evidence ; then what was in this case to prevent the Plaintiff; Georgians Knight, from examining into the illegi timacy. although the words " new facts" were in the bill? it was on the record, that the Defendant was illegitimate, he being born of a married we - - man Separated from her husband, and if the testi mony was not perpetuated lie might hereafter claim to be legitimate. Mr WlLt.ts, on the same side, said it had been stated by the Learned Counsel; in support of the demurrer, that the commission iii the first suit had been protracted, but he had not stated by whom. He would tell him—by Mrs. Portman, the sister of that notorious woutin Mrs. Knight, who was at that time in France; Out of the yurisidittion of the Court, where she threatened to remain until the commission was closed. and she was die assistant and confiduut in the infamous transaction. As to the statement that the Defendant was ass infant and had tin friend to protect him, it was not true. for he had his repined father. The ttial of Knight amid Lord Middleton must be fresh in the memory of every man. Ile had nu hesitation in saying that this demurrer was pot in by the Noble Defeudint iv that action to protect the interest of the infant Defeutlant. It had been said that there was persecution on the part of Mr. Knight : on the contrary, his conduct had been most generous to an abandoned woman. All he asked wall to perpetuate the testimony of the Defendant's illegitimacy, at his own cost.

Mr. 11'11.1.15- 11 It was not my intention to hare stated them, hut the Learned Counsel, in support of the demurrer, said we had not any new facts to put on the record, I only mentioned what I did to shew that we had, and it was only out of re spect to the Court they had not been set forth in the bill." The VICIL-CUANCELLOR abseiled, he was of opinion, that the allegation in the bill was by twach too general, therefore he could nut susiaiii the bill. Thadenaurrer allowed and bill dismissed.

It appeared that the reason they were nor sent to the Old Bailey for the felony, was, be cause the principal evideuce had omitted to state, in his account before the Magistrate, the most material part of what he was witness to. They were, therefore, included with the rest in the charges of c,.nspiracy anti mildemelmor. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in Ins observations on the trans.. actions he was about to describe, hoped that his hearers would fantail from any indecorous expres , lion of the feeling that would naturally erne at a detail so revolting. He then, in the most delicate manner possible, stated what the witnesses for the prosecution detailed circumstantially. There were, he said, two persons who had actually associated for inne with them, for the purpose of bringing then, o justice. One of those, though almost a stranger to the gang. introduced the other, who was without hesitation looked upon as polluted with the pro pensities by which they were sheared. This was the coe with this vice—the wretches addicted to it were ler a mental blioduest, that considered all others liable to its influence, and abandoned all caution. Providence hod set that mark upon them by Which they became easily discoverable. The evidence of Purcell and Cane, the two men who had witnessed the scenes alluded to, with the view to have the vengeance of the law fall upon the gang. disclosed a series of tremendous trims actions, not paralleled even by the infamous Vere areet practices.
