COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. c om edy is a rare production in these times. Where it has at all thriven it has been as an exotic. and in the summer ~t-houses. Introduced to the chilling airs of a winter ee as a plant indigenous to the soil, it generally ' f. 7 14 i n deed, the attempts at its production have of late ,ears Wen few. and their success generally such as to in • an wish them fewer. Our old comedies are be -7 oK through - o b s olete, age or accidental circumstances, c ':„ A n „ e ,w ones appear in their place. It is not with re . 44et to t bain as it was with the golden branch of classical ptltlaob6s~ •• thin avulse non deficit alter." visbrug h, Fatquhsr, Congreve, and Siteritlan, have passed a we • ciihout leaving us their likes behind. On the stage c haracter has lost its individuality, humour has disappeared, sad our wit is on the lees. But a truce to lamentations. Last night witnessed the vonsentation of a new piece, in five acts, entitled Lose's ro„rs ; or, a Scheel fife Pride. It is the production of at uAeman named Hyde, already favourably known to a 4e public as the author of a tragedy of considerable merit. Th e subject of the comedy is one familiar to the stage in v arious shapes, and, we believe, originally of Spanish auction. It is the successful attempt of a lover to tame t han the hatighdness of his mistreu, and bring her to code% a mutual affection, in spite of coquetry and an ifastiog of stoicism on the part of the lady. The scene i ‘ indfai Spain, in the province of Catalonia. TO NAOMI Diana, personated by Miss Lacy, gives herself nut k i wi enemy of marriage-love, and appears to be, in the strictest f ed inott limited sense of the word, a misanthrope. Her father, D o Diego, Duke of Barcelona (Egerton), is anxious sne should 5 ,,, her hind to one of three suitors at present In his Court, but a t e frenins in her determination, and rejects the proffers of all • spOn, though aecretly much smitten with one of them—Don ponce of Naples (Kembie). Fluretta (Miss hove), a rvis la tting.wornati., and Pen n (Jones), an equally roguish a s onee their mistress 's secret attachment, and disclose Z o lia isoa roi lover. Under their instructions he assumes an. air of indifference to the Pt incess, rails at . • belle passion," and mito b at aypecrisy with like dissimulation. Ilelom this he had ago l oot itl.esed and unprofitable loser— •• Sighing like furnace," but wo rm does he prove himself capable of " blowing cold " 0§ sell as " hot." titan the lady relents, and after a due course of in, uml aute diffreuhrea, jealousies, and hysterics, jumps into the wand ker inamorato. Apuanded to the above eventful history win "(Intl of Don Pedro (Farm) a soi.disant amorist and m ho saiquated Acuson. He too pursues the chaste Diana, but sinks his prosatypa, who, as every-body knows, was made dogs' m ar of, be escapes with a short confinement in the icehouse of the piece, sod being married to his own valet. In conclusion. bow • mine ancient " is released from his double captivity, and !lusts lacr. Lou, Jones, and Henry, are, all sail several, gratified sick !unhands. The plot of the Comedy, as will be seen, is extremely simple, and yet, without being diversified by numerous in cidents, we cannot complain much on the score of defi cency of interest. The spectator sees his way to the ter motion throughout, without being able to say, when ar rived at it, that he experienced much fatigue in the journey. If the denouement is before his eyes from the commencement, a vista of flowers leads to it, and his feet ate at least conducted over practicable paths. The dialogue new, with an occasional sprinkling of poetical imagery, mad considerable terseness and classical polish in the ex pression. Would that the humour were as abundant. Some strong situations, and the best acting lately witnessed on the stage, carried the piece triumphantly and unaiii meads through its ordeal. We wish it every success, and dust dae promise of future excellence which it develops may be soar and abundantly fulfilled. lt would be injustice to the performers generally were we to omit noticing their great and successful exertions; and to Mr. C. Kemble in particular, if we did not make PM dia the rc• Ism ask rbc LI in rove honourable mention of his representation of Don Crsar. It was an admirable and perfect piece of acting. Messrs. Jones, Parrett, and Blanchard, diAplayeti their usual ability in the characters respectively allotted to them. The heroine was ably sustained by Mils Lacy. Occasionally she was somewhat loud and tragic. It should be remembered that though " lnterdum tollit Comcedia voeem," yet Comedy never lifts her voice to the pitch of a fishwife hawking niackarel. We occasionally noticed some anachronisms in the dia logue relative to joint-stock companies, mining shares, and msiology. The following is the prologue written for the new comedy of !.ore's Victory, by the author of The Lollard:, &c., but not Token : Although of Giants ancient fables tell, The fact has never been established well •, hut many most undoubted proofs we find That formerly men lived of giant mind ; Potent to more, or with keen humour hit, Resistless in the affluence of. their wit Prom one a these, the Poet of toaday Obtains a partial outline of his Play— Prom one, whose gitnlnis yielded Spain delight, Ere all trer glory set in hopeless night— From one, born near that period dear to fame, Which gave our Drama an immortal name, When S H AILS PE A 11 E came to act his splendid part— To elevate, delight, and storm the heart.

At the dinner of the Livery of the Founders' Company, at the Albion Tavern, on Tuesday, Mr. Borrodaile (the father of the Company) proposed the health of Mr. Alderman Thompson, Con gratulating him on the efficiency of his endeavours as a magistrate, and hint-xl the probability of his still soliciting the further honour of representing his tellow-citizens in Parliament. Mr. Alderman Trio MPSON. in returning thanks, after express ing his obligation to the gentleman who had proposed his health, and to the company for the way in which they received the propo sition, stated, he was extremely proud in being one of the magi. aerates of this city. because he was placed there by the unanimous voice of a portion of his fellow-citizens, and congratulated them on the valuable privilege they possessed, and hoped he should never betray the trust they had reposed in him; he had used his abilities for their service, and to the best of his power, but should an oppor tunity be afforded him of signalising himself for their benefit, they would find him ready and willing. Hie honourable friend had hinted at his desire to become one of their Representatives in Par liament; he certainly did aspire to that high honour, and, as it was known there would be one varahey at least, lie hoped he should be successful. He did not come forward alone on the conviction of his capability, hut at the solicitation of numerous friends, whom he considered better calculated to form an estimate of his preten. slobs than himself. He, however, begged to assure them of his adherence to those political opinions which had placed him in the high office he already held ; and assured them, that from his inti mate connexion with the trading and commercial interests, they would always find him ready to bring forward any measure for their benefit. He apologised for trespassing so long on the time of a consivial meeting, and cuucluded by wishing the Founders all health and happiness. NEW CHURCH AT WEEDO.V. A new church has lately been built at Weedon, in North amptonshire. The population of the place not being suffi ciently large to entitle it to the Parliamentary grant, a donation of 5001. from that valuable institution, the So ciety for building and enlarging Churches anti Chapels, was all the public assistance that could be obtained. The rest of the funds was partly raised by the pariah (who borrowed under the Act 47th Geo. III.), partly by the sale of pews, and partly a subscription iu the neighbour hood, the parishioners being greatly burdened with poor, owing to the large establishment of the Board of Ordnance at that place, which encumbers them with many settle ments. The new church, which i; a very handsome and capacious building, was opened on Sunday, the tith of this month, with three services, and each time was crowded to excess, multitudes having flocked front Northampton, Da veutry, and all the neighbouring villages, to witness a spectacle at once novel and afficting. Three appropriate sermons were preached by the lion. and Rev. G. Spencer, I:,e Rev. J. H. Hurst, Vicar of Weetlon, and the Rev. 11. J. Gunning, Minister of an adjoining parish, and a col lection to the amount of nearly 100/. was made, in aid of the building fund. In spite of means so slender, and obstacles so discouraging, the whole has beret begun and completed since the middle of March last, and is greatly to the credit of the Vicar, who has been indefatigable in his lexertions to benefit the pariah, which had had no resident Minister for 30 or 40 veers, and had fallen into a moat ne glected state. The old church, which was taken down in March, was both in a ruinous condition and much too small for the population of a place, where there. is always a garrison of 400 or 500 men, and where the numerous civil officers, artificers, &c. attached to the large depot of arms, had greatly increased the number of the inhabitants, many of whom had necessarily been forced to dissenting places of worship. Under these circumstances, the com pletion of so arduous an undertaking as the building of a new church, will not, only be greatly beneficial to the parish, but will be hailed with much satisfaction by all friends of the Established Church. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS, London, Nov. 18, 1825. Sta—As a constant reader of your Paper, 1 feel obliged to you for the communications you regularly make relative to the Army and the Church ; and I shall feel obliged, in your next communication relative to the latter, if )ou will state that De. OwEN, the " worthy Rector" of St. Olave's, Hart•street, now demands, and in many instances enforces, the payment of 2s. 9d. in the pound for tithes, under the antiquated Statute the 27th of Henry the Eighth. During the lut Session of Parliament, Mr. Peel stated it as his belief, that no Rector enforced the full extent of his claim; and I think it would be doing the public some service if you would state the fact, that Dr. Owen has the nerve and boldness of enforcing the Statute to its full extent. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. H. IV We regret that Dr. Owen should thus give occasion to public animadversion. It may please him to stand upon his strictly legal right, but the expediency of enforcing it upon his parishioners, to whom it is his duty to inculcate that truly Christian spirit which looks beyond this world for its rewr.rd, is a point he would do well to consider. We would recommend to his imitation the liberal example of the Rector of Bishopsgate. and indeed of all his brethren of the Church ' • for although he has furnished a precedent that Mr. Peel d id not venture to contemplate, we are happy to add that it has no followers.—En. THE ARMY. THE NINETY-SIXTH. REGIMENT. It affords us great pleasure to be enabled to announce, that Lieutenant-General Fuller, the Colonel of this fine Corps. has re ceived an account of the safe arrival at Bermuda, of the three Di visions of the Regiment that had embarked at Halifax on bbard the Speke, Arab, and Joseph Green transports. This Corps has, through the commendable exertions of its Gaiters, completed its augmentation establishment.

TO THE REPORTERS WHO ATTEND AT THE POLICE OFFICES. A.so ItOll pARTICIMAILY AT UXIOW STALL. GINTLEXCX.—AIthough I arm friendly to the liberty of the, press, yet I conceive it to be • duty to myself and to the public, to address you respecting what may be deemed to be an abuse of it, and which relates to four complaints against nil that have been made by as many different persons at Union-hall, since the month of Au gust last, which were not only founded on gross misrepresentation and falsehood, but, according to their own statements, were cases in which the .3lagistrates said, on each occesion, that they had no jurisdiction. I had. of course, no opportunity of being heard la my own detente, and these ex purte statements hare in succession been published in the newspapers, in the shape of police reports. such applications were repeated, no doubt, merely for the sake of that publicity which the parties found that their ex parte statements would so easily obtain, and which threatened the total ruin of my. reputation. These effects have, however, been in some degree counteracted by my replies, which appeare d in several newspapers, the whole of which otsy be seen in the Morning C'hrateirte of the 26th of August hut, and the 21st and 91st ultimo. It may, how ever. happen, in many instances, that persons who read an in. ;lunette police report, may not see the reply thereto in a subse quent paper ; therefore, when persons attend a police-office, under the plea of asking for a warrant in cases where fhty keine no war rant tan be granted, but merely for the purpose of getting their own ex parte statements reported in the newspapers, it may be well for you to consider how far it may be proper and of public utility to take soy notice in your reports of such unwarrantable applications. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, ED3IUND CLIFFORD. Temple-place, Blackfriars-road, Nov. 16, 182 a. •Another of those melancholy accidents, arising out of the careless habits of sporting gentlemen, has pet taken place at Ingham, the seat of Francis Bentworth, Esq., near Ashby-de-la-Zouch. As Mr. flointrough was peening through the small gate that leads from the pleasure-grounds into the wood-walks, the trigger of bit goo was struck by a grojecting piece of the latch, and, shocking to relate, the contents lodged in his head.—He expired before he coukl be taken back to the house. To add to the distress of this event, he had just been apjiointed to a lucrative situation in South America, and had not been monied a week. ACTIDTNT Dv FIRE.—On Tuesday evening, the family of Mr. ltartlemy, of King's-road, Parson's-streen, haystag gone to the play, the maid servant and a loor-bny were left in pre of the house, and both went to sleep by the kltelsen tire. According so the boy's statement he vas awoke by OW screams of 31artin, the female servant, whose clothes had taken fire. The boy, in his fright. gave an alarm at the next house , and before a‘glitta,lCe could ri be edrded, her clothes and her hair whir; Wend!) , speaking, burnt off her. She was alive yesterday morning, but death would be great relief to lien agonised sufferings. On Fritlay evening last a woman of very mean appear seas called at the It'd Lion public-house, at the village of - Hil lingdon, Middlenex, and asked for a glans of ale, part of which' she gave to a little girl who was with her. A. few minutes after she left the Red Lion she sent the child into a neighbouring shop with a penny to buy a cake, anti was herself seen no more. The child on leaving the shop looked about for the woman, but could not find her, and went crying back to the Red Liar. The landlord took care of her for the night, and next day took her to the parish officers, who, on questioning the child, felt a strong conviction that the woman who deserted her was not her mother, and that she be longed to parents of R much superior cast. They therefore directed thelandioni to keep the child for the present, instead of smiling it to the workhouse, and to give information at Bow-itreet, and hare the child advertised. The landlord attended here yestenlay with the child for that purpose. She appeared to be between three and four yeses old, and was dressed in a mugh brown pelisse or coat, and a drib beaver bat. She v;reaks tolerably fir her age. and the landlord states, that after each meal she requests to have her hands and face washed, and kneels down ; and prays as well as she is able berme griting into bed. SOCIE7'T OF CLICKERS. On Tuesday night, a numerous meeting of this society was held at Mitchell's Assembly Rooms, l'ortsmouth.ntreet, Lincoln's Inn, for the purpose of taking into consideration the moat e ff ectual means of - regulating the interest and privileges of this branch of the trade, as regarded the number of hours which they should be kept employed during the ilny. At ten o'clock there were about a hun dred and sixty rhpectablc looking mechanics present, when a .51r. Ridley was unanimously called to the chair. The CIIAIRUAN commenced by observing, that as the gift of oratory was not what wa.s prized or sought after by industrious ar tisans, he begged the fleeting would indulge him in rending to them the feet remarks which he felt it his duty to make. He then proceeded to read a written paper. He informed them that the object of their Meeting was to address the master boot and shoe makers, lii a firm and at .the seine time conciliating tone, re questing they would make an alteration in the hours °relining their shops. When there was a general thirst for knowledge and infor mation pervading all classes of artisans and mechanics, it would he disgruceful to them if they were found among the Inst in the march of intellect. lie would not insult the Meeting by contlenending to refute • low and vulgar prejudice, though en gendered in great men's minds, that the intellectual improvement of the middling or lower classy has a pernicious tendency that as Men became enlightened they became more vicious. Men who held forth such doctrines are really anxious to degrade, and not advance the mechanic In the moral scale. He then proceeded to state that as the leisure time for mental improvement and recreation was now so limited, their object would be attained by the muter boot and shoemaker( consenting to close their shops at eight o'clock every evening, except on Saturday, and on those nights at ten. The Chairnian concluded by proposing that the form of a " Circular" to the trade, urging those points, should be read and submitted to the consideration of the Meeting. The circular was then read, which emhoslied the principal points in the Chairman's address. It particularly dwelt upon their la. boors been often protracted, even to the Sabbath-day. It here stated—" The Negroes in our colonies chin) that. and shall it be said that the mechanics of this kingdom, who have been the envy of surrounding nations, are worse off than they ?" A Resolution, founded upon this Circular, was then moved and seconded. A gond deal of desultory conversation took place respecting dif. fertat phrases in it. A Mr. NOTTING observed, that an expreasion, " rather than by outrageous means," was calculated to give offence. Others were proceeding to propose unimportant alterations in it, when . . The ensmusic observed, that, if they were to atop to (Rectums every objection, they would wait until they were on the confines of another world, when redress would come too late. (Much applause and laughter.) The Resolution was carried unanimously ; and, after a subscrip. Lion was made for defraying the expenses of advertising It in all the Morning Papers, and printing bee Circulars, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated at twelve o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. • Lverapooi, N0v.15. OUT market was well attended this day by both country and town dealers: and although the supplies were light, yet the advance asked by the sellers of wheat prevented much business being done; the'transactlona, however, were at fdrmer prices. Oats were in fair demand at former prices. In consequence of the approaching open. lug of the ports, barley was much inquired for, and prices are 3d. lower, particularly of Trish samples. Oats in bond have been sought after. Wheat and flour in bond remain dull, and other articles without alteration. GRAIN. filaatiter" Alasel s h .d 7 . oll) ;. d.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COfIRT, WEDNESDAY, N0v.16. JO AAAAA D HIS RITE 17. SIR FRANCIS AND LOOIS DESANOTS. The plaintiffs in this CARI were Isabella Jones, formerly De ',engem, and John Jones, her husband. The defendants were Sir Francis Desanges and his brother Louis, sons of the plaintiff Isabella, by her former husband, W. Deranges. The bill was filed some considerable time back; an answer was put in, which, on being referred to, the .latter declared to be impertinent and scandalous. The case was DOW called on to hear exceptions to the Master's report. The bill stated that the late William Deranges was • silk-dyer, residing in Wheeler-street, Spital-Sehls. He died in 1807, and by hit; will left his widow all his freehold premises, dyeing-pans, &c., together with'4.ooBl., and expressed his desire that his widow and son Francis should carry on his bu.siness in partnership. They did so till 1814, when the other defendant, Louis, was admitted into a share of the concern. This continued till June, 1821, when the defendant Louis sent his mother • letter, telling bar he was mar tied, and that she must give up her share in the partnership. They each realised about 8,000!. per annum by the business. The plain tiff, therefore, at first refused to give up her ;bare, but at last she was, by the conduct of her sons, compelled to sign a deed, by which she yielded up the concern on soodidon of the payment of 2.5001. per annum. To secure this to her, the two sons gave a bond for eighteen thousand pounds. The bill, after stating several in. stances of rude and overbearing behaviour on the part of the sons, goes on to state that, in the year 1823. the plaintiff went to Margate for the benefit of her health, but that she was obliged to return on account of the persecution of her sons, who sent permits down to watch and insult her. On her return she was obliged to take to her bedl on account of illness, and whilst in that state tier sons by fraud and false representations compelled her to sign • deed, by which she only became entitled to 2,0001. per annum. This deed they made her sign, because they suspected she was about to marry, which would deprive them of the longer enjoy. moot of her property. Both before and after signing the deed she experienced the grossest ill-Image from the defendants, who threat ened to put her into a mad-house. Some time after the signing of the deed she became the wife of .1. Jones. Thebill further stated that she was totally ignorant of the contents of the deed,and that she was compelled to sign it. She had never had it in her possession, nor bad she ewer seen it. She now applied foe a rule to set the deed aside. The answer put in to this consisted, first, in a statement of all ac , counts between the parties ; and, second, of an answer to the idiiseges brught against the SOUR by the plaintiff. This part of the pamper stated, that when the plaintiff went down to Margate, the defendants learnt that she there, for the first, met Mr. Jones, whom, upon inquiry, they . were informed was a man in indigent circumstances, and had twice compounded with his creditors, in the last composition only paying 4s. in the pound. The plaintiff their mother, was 75, and Mr. Jones, they were informed, was only 35. H'hilat at Margate, he contrived to obtain an influence over their mother. Their mother, on her return to town, denied haring any idea of a marriage with Mr. Jones, and asked how they could think her such an old 1,01. She, however, soon after this, again set out for 31argate, upon which they sent Mr. Church, the family solicitor and intimate friend, having known him twenty years, to try and persuade her to come back. He overtook her at Canterbury, and she invited him into her carriage, and they went oa to Margate together. Both on the road there, and whilst there she laughed at the idea of such a marriage. hut still refuted to return, whereupon Mr. Church came hack to London. Sir Francis Desanges then went down, and per suaded his mother to return to town with him, which she did of her own free will. When she returned to town, so far from being ill, she wa: in the most perfect health, and herself desired the deed now in question might be prepared • this was in October 1823. Several alterations were made in the detd by her own desire; among others there was a clause she caused to be inserted, which enabled her merely to will away 3,000!. When the deed had been signed, she laughed, and said she hoped every one would be satisfied, as whatever match she might be with 18,0001. she could be none with merely 3,000 t. She, however, married Jonas in about a month. The answer further refuted the charges made by the bill against them, but it will be needless to enter at further length into it. The Master had returned SR impertinent the description of Jones as an indigent man, and as having been a bankrupt, &c. He had also struck out many of the reasons brought forward by the de fendants, accounting for the steps they had taken with regard to their mother. Alr. Flonwe, with whom was Mr. Theonat.h, now excepted to the Master's report. He contended that the defendants were at liberty to give their reasons for, and otherwise explain the conduct imputed to them by the bill, and that the answer was relevant. Mr. AGAR, with whom was Mr. Ducrwoarw, argued on the ether side. It was not pretended in the answer that the defendants had paid even the 2,500/. they had bound themselves to pay, nor had they denied the charge of threatening to put her in a nnulhouse. The Vict-CreawLELLon—The question is not now whether the answer is an answer concerning the relief prayed for, but whe tl.er the defendants were not called upon by the charges in the bill to gi✓e the explanations which have by the Master been considered as Impertinent. It would make the Court of Equity a Court of Ini. quity if parties were allowed to make such charges u are here made, end the parties so charged were not allowed to answer them. lam of opinion that the derendants are justified in setting out the history of the transac time at Margate. The Master's report must therefore be overruled. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, IVErrmwsun, WliDtilllDAY, NOV. 16. HABEAS CORPUS. ITOORE T. FI rZGIBBON. It will be rememhered that in this case, a few days ago, the plaintiff obtained a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of a child of his, of which the defendant claimed the custody. Mr. &MULL:AT now prayed that the return to the habeas corpus be read. The return was accordingly rend; from which it appeared then the child is at present In the custody of Mr. Butcher, cif Cam den-town • that it is labouring under the measles, and incapable of being brought up before the Court ; and that he (Mv. Butcher) was ready to abide by any order which the Court may make con cerning the disposal or it. Mr. SCAaI.Irr then tuner., that the Court order the child to be delivered ores to its lather, Mr. Moore. Mr. Consow-Sr.ankawr have affidavits to show cause against this application. r.' SceaLLT T —Alt they the nose as before ? .. . ..., , . , ...._-. 1. • I ._ i a a • Mr. COMMON•SERGEANT—I have also other affidavits, di e • closing new and material facts. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Had not the affidavits better be . 1 read, Mr. Soulett, that you may have an opportunity of answering them ? , • Mr. SCART.ETT—I think they want no answering ; they may, • •• however, be read, and then, if your Lordships shall be of opinion • that there is any thing in them, I can answer it. , ~ Mr. Co reatorr•StatneaNT said, that he was perfectly well aware that there was a difficulty in this case. lie certainly did Doi mean to contend that the father is not the proper guardian of the • child ; neither did he mean to contend that Mr. Moore O not the • • father of this chill; but there were, he said, circumstances eon- 1 •. fleeted with this case, which he thought would call upon their Lordships to interpose their authority, and make this tumor the ea- I ceptions to the general rule. He referred to the case of King v. De Manville, as governing the present. He apprehended that i whatever rights the father might have to the guardianship of his child, • he might Set in such a way as to wave his right. The mother of this I child was now the wife of Colonel Fitzgibbon living with him; I and the child has been kept by them as a part of their family. it • . would be necessary to attend a little to the dates of the different • .4 events. Henry Moore, the subject of this application, was born • 4 in the year 1822; a sister, called Florence, was born about a year , after; in September, 1823, Mrs. Moore left her husband to live ~ .. , , with Colonel Fitzgibbon, and took these two child ren w ith h er . 1 An ant on was afterwards brought against Colonel Fitzgibbon. .. Notice Had been given to produce the notes of the Sheriff's Office, in Dublin, upon the judgment by default. I Mr. SCARLET T—l am not aware that any notice was given. Mr. CommoN.SeitocaatT—lt was intended to draw some line ' 1 • etween theme children and the others, and we wished with this view to have the notes of the proceedings in the Sheriff's Court, / and the Act of Parliament creating the divorce. I The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—I never uuderstond the Act of Parliament had any thing to do with that. .i Mr. - Coal No x.SEßSEtorr—And here are two children in the same predicament a -Henry Moore, and Florence, his sister. s The Load Corr" , JUSTICE—We have no question before us in respect to the other child. Mr. COMMON-SERGEANT—There are circumstances respecting. that child very material. The Lord Chancellor has said " there is nu proof that this child is illegal, and therefore I will not make it a • . ward of Chancery." In De Manvirlea case the rule laid down is, that the father is the guardian, unless the Court shall be of opinion ' that he is not fit, for some reason or other. He had the affidavits of , Lord Brandon, a Peer arta a Member of the Ministry of the Bets- blished Church. This affidavit discloses a conversation with Mr. $ l Moore, in which he expressed his belief that this child was the • child of Colonel Fitzgibbon ; that he would cut him off with a „ 1' ~. shilling ; hut that he would nevertheless enforce his right to claim this boy, and do every thing in his power to annoy Colonel Fitz. '•• • . i gibbon. The LORD Oiler JUSTICE-11'hat is the date of this con. I I versation ? Mr. COMMON.SERGEANT—Last September. The Lon n CHIEF . JUSTICE—When was the divorce ? - Mr. f'omatOle-SEROCANT—In December. 1828. , Mr. SCARLETT-1 have affidavits hi which Air. Moore dis- tinctly denies this conversation. Mr. COMIcoN-SEltaltaXT—lt does not appear to me that the conversation is denied. Mr. Moore does, indeed, deny the con- versation , . ~.. generally ; but be states, that he felt great indignation, and that he would not say what words he might have used in the warmth of his irritation. Surely it will not do, in such an import. ant matter, togivemerely the effect of words, where the precise ex- 1 pensions are so necessary. But supposing that view of the case is e ' not quite sufficient, then he had other facts to bring forward. I -- With respect to the youngest child, no applicatiou had been • , made. He had to add, that when the action was brought, Col. . . Fitzgibbon said lie would pay 5,000/. and no more, whatever the • ; ... verdict might be. The habeas corpus was sued out and served upon Mrs. Fitzgibbon, in Paris. Surely, when the children were in , ' • the custody of the actual parent, they might have been permitted to remain there. He had also affidavits of Lord Kilwarden, in I , • i which he stated, that he was employed by Col. Fitzgibbon to manage this affair for him in his absence on the Continent ; that he appointed Mr. North to put in an appearance to the action by 51r. .bore, and then to suffer judgment to go by default. Damages were assess ed its the Sheriff's Court, Dublin, at 6,0001. A meet- ing was &Reminds held between the friends of the two rattles, in which 5,0001. was paid according to the inst.uctions of Col. Fitz- .. gibbon, and was accepted as a discharge of the damages. But then the two children were to remain in the possession of Mrs. Moore. Col. Fitzgibbon would not have entered into this arrangement, 1 t sinless he ,had been assuredthat she was to have the custody of the , children. There was also an affilavit of Ala Peter Lowe: he , i states that he bail a conversation with Mr. bloom last December. . Air. Moore on this occasion said that the 6,0001. must be paid to save appearances, but that he would repay 1,000/. The Lo RD Come JusTacg—That is not affect the question I t of the children. s. Mr. Couatow-SEltosaarn—What follows, my Lord, does at- ; (s• feet them. Ale . Moore said that if he took the girl, she should w never enter his house; that he would bring her up in a poor cabin, ' and when she should be of age he would give her 1001. and marry her to some farmer. The Learned Counsel went on to contend that the eireumetance of repaying the 10001. seemed like a bargain. The Loan CHIRP JUSTICE.—There ts no evidence that Dlr. Moore knew any thing of it. ' Al r. Se alltZTT—Mr. Moore never heard of it till last July. Air. Justice BAYLEY—The agreement was not made with him. Mr. COMMON•SEROZANT—The use I make of the comperes- ; non is this—that for two years, while Mni.Fitr.gibbon was residing in Paris, no attempt is made to get the children train her, but as soon as the money is paid, Mr. Moore immediately turns round and applies for a writ of habeas corpus. He submitted, on the whole, i that though the general rule was, that the father should be the guardian of his own child, yet that this was an excepted case, inas- much as the father sought to get it into his own possieseion, not for the purpose of promoting its welfare. bat An the gronfication of his I t own resentful feelings toward the other parties. By his agreement he had in tact waved his claim to the custody of this child, and it wonld be paying too much regard to the mere technical relation of husband and wife to destroy the happiness of Also sad Mts. Fitz- gibbon, by depriving them of their own child. • , Air. BROUGHAM said that the child had been brought up in France, and spoke nothing but the French language; that it was in a very poor state of health, and a removal to Ireland would he very dangerous. Under these circumstances he contended thatkir. Moore was acting most cruelly in attempting to take this child over to Ireland, where there was not a word of French spoken—in exposing , • it to so Ireland, ` here perils and sufferings in the came of •the voyage—in taking it away from the nurse, who hat, hitherto, so carefully . tended it.—and in tearing it from the bosom of its mother, one at least of its parents, and of whose identity there could be no doubt. The Learned Counsel agreed that these circumstances presented a ' s •t r ,' , deplorable view of the cruelty of Mr. Moore and his unfeeling a heart, and - showed how little he was qualified to hate the custody of his own child. Alr. CHITTY said a few words on the same side. 31r. Schott TT, in reply, said, that he was anxiety* to nay a few ! ' words as insinuations bad been thrown out timintat his latent, which he very little merited indeed. It had hantsaill that ha made this application for the purpose merely of sanoy4og the other • parties, and not with • view to benefit this child. Now, Mr. ?• ,• Moore had set out in his affidavit, that having &potter isf appoint- -, ',tient over 10,0001. he had, by a codicil to his Wilaisppoiated this 1 • sum to be equally divided between this child mit twe tibial sisters; I • that this codicil has been in existence for a considerable time; that 'it is still subsisting ; and that he means this disposition to remain as it is. With reference to the younger child, Ise dletinetly stated that he had reason to doubt whether she was hfil. The Learned I Counsel then went on to comment on the cogent arguments which . . , Air. Brougham had advanced to impeach the humanity of Air.. Moore, and sat down by expressing his conviction that then I Lordships would restore this child to Its proper easteder • . The Lo RD CHIEF JUSTICE—There out be op thitabt dig Mr. : r • Moore is the father of this child, nor any doubt that it is die duty • of this Court to give him the benefit of its authority, to assist in re.. storing him his child. Ido not say that case, may not occur where a father ought to be deprived of his natural guardianship; such af , . cases may undoubtedly happen, but lam clearly of opinion that 1 , this is not one of them. A good deal has been said about the 60001. • being paid as compensation, and on the ground of 10001. being ie. • paid, it has been attempted to fix the character of a bargain upon the transaction, and to consider it as a compensation to Ala Moore for yielding up his child to the care of Ales. Moore. I cannot as. any thing in this ; and here again it has beesaatid, :het the mothir . .1 • is the must proper guardian of this child. What would bb the et_ feet of its being brought up with her ? In that ease the stein of il- legitimacy would be inevitably attached to it t but brought up t under the care of its father, it would go in the world es his legio- / mate offspring, and with all the advantages which such a coneider- ation bestows. Something also has been said on Mr. Aloore's re- sentful observations respecting the young"? child ; there is nothing ... 'in this. His observations necessarily sprung from *conviction that this daughter was nut his own. The Court, therefore, cu•ders, that , the person in whose custody Henry Moore stow is, take care of hint till he be in a condition to be removed, and then deliver Mtn over • to his father. , .......ame.-- • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, l'i'eDwEsDAT, • Noe. 16. • • , The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning In fakirs ! justifications of bail, and in hearing menials of cooese(of so iti• terest but to the parties.
