The inner iitat‘ in • such cases was fur Connie! to otite the eili(ore car.

At the Ntielrtiey•Gitter.d. would state the case shortly ;..iiiid.after the interrogatories were read his Learned Friendik the Counsel with him, woulti hare en opportunity dr making what remarks they should' think advisable. The relators by their in. formation complained, that the Rev. Defendant, as the master of Bingley Free School, took boor& ers, cod devoted his attention to them exclusively, sod neglected the poor free scholars, who were left to the care of es -tither. the Defendant seldom thinking it worth his while to visit the school, or to attend to liiit'skholailic dsitiest ;bet the free scholars were kept from the fire . ibwinter by the boarders, and . were'alsh depiived of other convenieticies from the.same cause ; that the Defendant would not permit the free scholars to come to school in dogs, which were generally used by the peer people of Bingley, but compelled them either to manic in shoes or Irate the school. The relators oleo cam. plaiued thisfthe Reverend Defendant held the ofr flee of Vicar or the parish, us well as teacher of the echoed, winch never was intended by the foorirlers of the charity, as they had directed the deeds of the charity estate to be keptin chest with two keys, one to kept by the Vicar, and the other by the teacher. T 6 Defendant, however, held both et tuationv,and it was obvious that it was impossible he could dot he duties of both, as the parish is eight mile. !nog cud five in breadth, and it contained no place of w.iu.hip but the parish church. The rela.ors HI4o complained that the present trustees had not been legally appointed, as they had not been elected according to the directioire in the deed of gift founding the charity. It was on these grotinds that the relators prayed that his Lordship would refer it to the Master, to inquire and report w Nether the Reverend Defendant was a proper person to be continued as the master of the school, and also to inquire and report whether the estates of the charity had beer' properly let. The Defendant himself was a lessee, at a rent of 30/. per annum, and was allowed to hold the rent in his hands to liquidate the sum of 4301., which he had expended a t ■ i r i s , at the Assizes, in defence of part of the charity property. There were the outlines of the ca4e, and his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, in his judgment, thought they were not bufficiroitly strong to authorise him referring it to the Master. He, however, had no doubt but his Lordship would he of a contrary opinion, and reverse his Honour's judgment. His Lordship was occupied doe remainder of the diy in !leasing the interrogatories iu the cause reed, and ruse at four o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13. THOMPSON V. GORDON AND MURPHY. The Defendants are considerable merchants, who having rendered the Spanish Government a service, by facilitating a remittance of treasure, were re warded by a commission to dispose of Royal Spoons's licenses, for coshing; merchant-vessels to wade to Vera Crux, eintwithstanding they should have touched ut other European ports than those of Spain before their departure. The Plaintiff had been commissioned by 111 r. Farrel, one of the Defendants' firm, to dispose of one of these licenses, few whi c h he was to have 1,000/. This sum had heel, paid to a Mr. Grant, for having disposed of one before to the house of Mitchell and Co. Rus sian merchants. Mr. Farrel mentioned this case to the Plaintiff's clerk, IVilliato Pattison, at the time when he gave him the commission to find a pur chaser, and said, that if Thompson succeeded. he should be paid the same as Grant. The Plaintiff found a purchaser in the house of Moravia, intro duced him to the Defendants. who declined the Plaintaf's further interference, and completed the contract themselves. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL admitted the Plain. tiff's claim to compensation, but certainly not to 1,000/. Ile had been applied to in his profession of a broker, and it had been expected of Isim that lie would have completed the agreement. As to the case of Mr. Grant, that gentleman had taken a jonrisey into the chief mercantile towns and cities north of the metropolis, nod had been absent three mmitlis, and keeping tip a laborious correaprindesice with other Places in order to find a purchaser.. He bail, after great difficulties which had continued for stvett months, brought his negoctation with the house of Mitchell and Co. to a couclusion, the whole labour of the transaction having devolved upon himself. This case could not he put on the same looting with that of the Plaintiff, who, as , lead been proved by the evidence called, had dune wothiiig fur the thousand pounds claimed, knit walking dorm to Oil office of the Defendants, iti company with Mr. Moravia. He would call eel. deuce to chew them the difference of the casts. The CMIEF JUSTICE thought no further eliding , necessary. aunt that no two transactions could be much more different. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL declined calling eti dence„ and °tiered that the case should be with drawn, and the Plaintiff should receive what had been brf.re offered to him, WO/.
