The testator afterwards made a cu hell to Isis sill, barpierithing all Isis other personal property which lie might die possessed of, after paying hi* lawful debts, for the support and mainteniroce of the charity school. The testator, however, departed this life before his nephew at tained the sge of twenty sine, on whirl. :recount Ise was unable to carry pus intentions of granting the piece of land. called the Green of Oldelistlr, fur the pu t paw of the reboot-house being erected, into effect. His nephew hail since attained the age of maturity. it was referred by the Court to the Master to inquire into the circumstances of the riser, and the Master had reported that the nephew of the testator was willing Ito give up the land in question, alihoutgli no regular transfer of it had b. en matte in the testator's life time. It therefore catne before the Court for further directions. Nlr.

His Honour the Viee-CitAstciet.tou---t , It ap pears that the nephew of the testator has only given a verbal declaration that lie will make the grant of the land, trod it is sot impossible that he may alter his mind and refuse to convey it for the pur poses of the charity. By the ItrlllS of the testator's sill the dimity could nut be established until the grant of the hind was made iii a regular manner. As to the question of interest, i do not Ihiuk the next of kin is entitled to it. It belt* expressly described by the testator, that the principal was to be laid. out for the purposes of the charity." Mr. Jessop, on the same side as Mr. BELL. said it appeared tram the will of the testator, that it was his intention to hove established the school during his life time, and this was to be inferred from his express words. that he was obliged to suyend his intentions until his nephew cause of age. lie was of opinion that u question sal that point might arise as to the validity of the bequest, as it was slut sufficient to exclude the next of kin front taking the personal property. The VICL•CHANCELLOR—" However ingenious your asgunietst may be, it only amounts to this, that the will would only speak after the death of the trsirtor, but that it carries ass inference with it that the testator iiittuded to do a soauttliitig ii. his life time.

A 11..11t the 9th of July, 1817, this young Icily bring afflicted with the hooidog-cough, was sent by her uncle, sir.

From thence the parties proceeded to the house of Mr. l'aul, at place called Thornford, in the county of Dorset. Mrs. Paul was the daughter of Nl's. Bowditch—and id her resideuce Miss Glenn was received on Nilom day morning, after she had a loped. She remitted during that day at the house of Mr. Paul, and was brought back on the next, to the Oxide of her usici.., by Mr. Lee, that Gentleman's solicitor. Such were the naked facts of the case, its stetted by Mists Glenn—awl these facts gave birth to u piosecution, which was the, before their Lordships. The indict mesa cautiously avoided any statement that this young lady was Wm, away ugainst her will, 'zeroth' the last count, wltare assault and false impristmineitt were set forth. The gravamen appeared to be, that she, beim; under to e, the Defeudonts did conspire .to take her away without the consent of her mother or her guardian. The iffilietnient did nut, however, state that any of the parties kne* her to he under age, but merely that she being under age, the De fend .tits conspired to carry her away, and so to have her married. On the trial of the cause, the state meat of the young lady was to this effect;—During the time she remained at Mrs. Bowditch's house, Hameln, from July until the tai of September, she le mil oeliloin *eels the Defendant, James Boothia ' .

She stated, that the day be fore she wee about to leave Holway Form, this. Buwilitch and Mrs. Nlulraine, a lady who occasion ally visited her, expressed their regret that she was going away—and the first time she heard that Janie{ Booditch lustkarydsigu ou.her persoo, was in the course of thisisafversation. One of the ladies then said. that James Bowtliteli would go distracted if she went away, and they begged of her to speak to, mud console I . She expressed much surprise at this, because she always considered him as her ins ferior its life. knowing that he acted as a mere day labourer mu his mother's farm. She requested that she 'night tint hear any more commuoications of this kind, and immediately went tip stairs with the children. It appeared, however, that some person else had told her to speak to Jetties Illowilitch, mud she was itiformed that he was out its the yard. She wean out ill consequence, mill ***some person, but, as it was dark, she could not say whether it was James Bowditch or not.

Joie Marks then wrist to her drawers, rind she heard her shoring sirmething at the back of one of thesis. She theta took this young lady to the head of the stair•case, and began to descend with her. She was so much territi d that isle could wit utter a word but " 0 Jame!" Site passed the door of her uncle's bed -cititinher, and proceeded to his library, through the window of which rite got into the yard. where she was received by James llowditch, who co n ducted her a little way, and theta his bristlier William appeared, and without her cry• ing out or making any rest•tai.ce, she was taken lido the garden. Here she lost all recollecticm, and dill not recover till she found herself in custody of one of the female Delentlants, who was putting on her shoes who said, " God bless ! her site has walked all this wry without her shoe." They then took her to Holway Fenn, where a Mrs. ()wen was on a visit. Nothing was 1.14141, hut Mr , .

Having procured II gig, they conducted her down stairs, and put her tutu it with Illowditchs Mrs. Bowditch, while standing oil the melt of the gig, gave her another elic.4 of the black ft The gig them proceeded—Welliaiii riding before, awl Jame* driving it. At about seven or right in the enorniiig. they arrived tat Mr. Paul's house, at Thortiford. She was much agitated—hut there was 1111 old man int the house to wl site was immediately c ducted. He asked her a hat wi t s her age—tit which she answered 113. The out gnu. Orman sand, if that was the ca-r it would wit do, as she was under age. She came down to dinner that day, and a Mr. Templer, a clergyinan t helped her to a bit or beef, but she merely put it into her mouth awl could not eat it. The swat day, Mr. Lee, a solicitor, came and took her home. Such were the circumstances stated. But it inightbe proper to observe, that the cave of Mr. and Mrs. Viol was quite distamoishistole trout the teat. They had employed Counsel, and it would be fur the Learned Clendeman whom they had retaiord to point out wherein the drdinctiou consisted. Mr. Tockett was called as a witness, and he stated that Ins niece was r young lady of great sensibility amid gentleness, and possessed a mind very 8,1;8884 wrought upon. Indeed it was orecoorry, in order to give credit to this most improbable story, to be- live that Miss Glenn's mind was peculiarly gentle. Otherwise sloe could not have beets taken butts her uncle's hobse, at the dead of night, without bring able to do mote than whisper, i n stead of alturniug the family by a shriek, end thus procuring assist. once and protection. On the evidence he hail stated, awl some collateral points, such as the pleaoare Miss Glenn expressed when about to go to school, &c. the Defendants were couvieted. This young lady certainly appeared to poses' the most precocious talent—the moot accurate the utmost coolness and self-possession. All her an swers given on the trial were pertectly correct. She seemed to understand the application of every ques tints as clearly as the Counsel who examined her— and frequently, when the question was not leading to the proper point, she put it right herself. The mama pillar of the prosecuti 111 l was that young lady's testunooy—and if, on exionnotion. In was Gann' to be erroneous, the verdict could soot stand. He would not now enter into the question of the legality of r charge for taking away a young lady, under ago—but he would exsantne the defence set up, which wag, that Mow Glenn had agreed to elope. In answer to her story, three letters were produced, one of which she admitted to lie in her own hand. writing—the other two she denied. There were, broideo, seventeen witnesses for the Defendents— and he would stow elate that if this verdict he right, not only was this one of the grossest conspiracies against the peace and happiness of a young woman, that had ever been set on foot, but these seventeen witnesses were guilty of corrupt and wilful perjury. If the verdict were just, not only had thew De fendants, who, up to that lime, maintained the most respectable character, heels guilty of a foul conspi racy, but they had gone ou mastoid's): persons to commit perjury, for no ks. than fifty individual, had suede affidavits, iss contradiction of the facts stated by Muse Oleim. After the trial had been publicly brought forward, facto, stated on oath, con. tradictiii„ ,, this young woinau in the most erseutial points of her evidence, weir ready to he produce:l. The defence was, that after Muss Glrint lied beers • few days at Hulway Farm, she enticed a partiality fo: Janne. Bowditch. She said she wished to be a farmer's wife—wanted to learn how to mike butter and cheese—spoke of a farsuer's life as the happiest in the world—rode on the old lady's pony—and appeared quite contented. Persons had seen them walking togetlwr---and alms in situations which proved that lunch attachtnent was telt by him for Miss Glenn, end by the young lady for the De. lendant, Janos Bowriitch. Two of the witnesses spoke (lambi ly of her person, hut several declared the fact di-tiaictly. Sirs. Mulronse bad a child Christened ut one of the churches ut Taunton—and it was given in evidence that Ole stood godmother bar the child, and James Boa/ditch acted as god father, which spewed that sir was extremely inti mate with the fatuity. It was idea stated that she hail written a letter, which, if genuine, proved that she had induced Iluaditch to take uut the license, by at-sting that slue was of age. This was the defence—and it was strongly supported by affidavits that were sworn by most respectable persons, after the trial had created a strung feeling in the county of Somerset, though it was not decided there, but in the comity of Dorset-. a point which he would presently slimier. IVitls respect to the letters, the Jahfri.danta dropped some Mots, that they had such documents in their possession-.and Mr. Tuckett mode reveled appli cations to Mr. Kinsley, a solicitor, in whose office at Taunton r Mr. °Resilient was, to have a sight of them—mod the Werra were scsually sheessi to Mr. Tuckett and Miss Glenn, which lw looked upon as an act of great inaiiroolesire, for it roaloled she young lady to give quite.* new turn to slit turn WlliCh she cnnl.l n ot h ave g iv e n so it, if the had not previously known that ihe I. ttrrt would he produced.

He now came to a account letter, which Mr. Oxenliam now ww..ie she had admitted to be we awe lay h. r, except the superscription, although she denied the fact at the trial. 11-re it may be observed, that she acute the letter which Mrs. Montville compelled her to write. contained only a promise that sh • would do wleot ever James liowdeich desired, s a id could not, net fe lon., be colifiounded with that which lie would now read.
