TURNER. _ _ - The last day his Lordship eat is Court, ha directed that Sir G. P. Turner should appear before hint in his private rouut on Saturday. In compliance with that order. G. P. Turner was ortsent, and an interview took place. We understood that Sir G. P. Turner persisted in his determination to traverse the ir.quisi. don, and wait, that if 31r. Rion*, his present legal adviser. did not choose to St for him, he would procure some one eisetwiso would. Ills Lordship, we further understood, at:witted the tight of bir (ingary to MIMIC the inquisition, bid requested that no unnecessary . delay might arise, as parties were naturally anxious for &determination of the question. Ilia Lorti,hip then stated that he should refrain from miming any order for the maintenance of , Lady 'itimer, or any other direction, until the ntiddle of next week, by which time it was hoped some steps would be taken in the pro ceedings. Sir Gregory. we learnt, promised to comply with this request, and immediately left his Lordship. GRAY v. GRAY. It was particularly for - thepurp ose of hearing this case that his Lordship sat to-day. It is one which has been long under litiga tion in various shapes before his Lordship and the l'itte-Chancelkw. By the statement of 31r. shade/ell, woo appeared as Counsel on the part of the plaintiff 31r. John Gray, it appeared, that in 1816 a decree was pronounced by the Vice-Chancellar,_ declaring 31r. Ralph William Dray, heir in tail to certain ernnhold estates, and that the will of his father was a gaol devise. In consequence of this decree, the copyhoid estates were %unordered in the usual form and Mr. Ralph William limy took powisesion. The Duke of Northumberland sub.equently entertained a wish to purchase these estates: a contract vas entered lion, by which the Noble Duke agreed to give a sum 'of 931 1 01111. for them. A dillitndty, however, areria, previous to the payment of the money, with fn spree to the title, and a hill was filled in Chancery to 111a011118111 the point, whether it was the opinion of Lin Lordship, that the title was so good as to compel a purchaser to fullil the contract. His Lad- ship then expressed a decided opinion, that there were such doubts existing with respect to the title, that the purchaser wax not corn peiled to fulfil the contact. The consequence of this decree was, that the contract was broken but :lisp's°. was still anxious to put. chaae the eetatea, and a second 11117VCInent was en t ere d b i t e , by w hi c i nia Grace avoid to give a sum of 116.61/01., if Mr. Ralph William Gray could perfect hat title by an Act of Parliament. Parliament was In conseqnence of tn, and an Act was obtained, under which the rinses were vested In the hands of certain trustees, in trust to make such a conveyance of them as his Grace should deem lit. The whole auto pi 93,41 , 00.1 was then paid into Court by the Duke, to be Lid nut in the usual manner. la 181 e, Mr. Ralph William Gray died, leaving a will, but appointing no executor. His bmther, Mr. John Orly, the present plaintiff became admi. nistratee, and the present suit respected a sum of 15,0001: Lift by the will of Mr. litatob Gray, which the plaintiff prayed to be paid over to him • ilk invest. The de . ti-ntlant is the eldest son of the testator. and nn infant. The principal pound upon which the plaintiff founded his claim, was the derlaraturn contained in the decree of 11116, that Mr. lb W. Gray was tenant in tail of the estates. Hr. Houma. as Conned for the defendant, took an objection is that the decree in question had not been duly enrolled, and meld not be acted upon. The LORD CHANCKLLOR thnug!,t Iliis WPC a fatal objection to proceeding with the case at present, h^ could not pronounce any Judgment, even if he had fully heard Counsel, and had completely made up his mind upon the subject. He therefore advised the parties to being the questa:la before him in a more tangible shape: at present be could not deal with it. Perhaps the better course would be to files petition of re-hearing. On amount of this infnrmality, therefore, the case for the present stax.es LENT ASSIZES. MESTER, Aram U. Reire Jortgee Wssind sr and Ant et'. Joseph Mier/v. aged Id years, and Robert Gilley, aged 17 years,' stood irdieted for having, on the 14th of January, feloniously taken from the per. on of James Weaver, of Adbaston, Shropshire, carrier, the sum of 41., namely, one sovereign, and three local one, pound notes, on the highway between Nantwich and Audiem, in this county. After Weaver the prosecutor had given his evidence, and identi fied the notes dituad.ori the prisoner Rogers, the statement made by Rogers before the committing Magistrate was put 0, which pea, rise to the following dialogue. The Clerk of A adze, In reading it, mentioned the name of Oat ley in the language used by Rogers. Mr. Cantiwiti.t.--My Lords, I object to this statement being read by the officer. Judge Jdur is—My Lord Chief Justice will see to the poet pricey of Its being read, 11r. Caldwell; your objecting to it would reem to question the disposition or ability of the Court to do its' duty. MT. CARDWILL--NO my Lord; DO one who knows me can think that I can entert ain the slightest disrespect towards any Court in which I may have the honour of practising; but as adso_ cat! f.e. the imisJaers, I should not be doing my duty if I had al lowed this paper to be reed as the Clerk was reading it, without urging illy objection, which I know to be good; but, my Lord, to what a state of degradation would the bar be reduced, if the cir cuinstartee of a Counsel's urging an objection is to be construed by the Bench into disrespect to the Court; that Court can overrule the objection if it pleases; but the Counsel shoal not allow him 'self to be awed into negligence to the important interests of his clients; my Lord, in such a case the liberty of speech would no longer exist. Judge JEnvia--Allow me, Mr. Cardwell; I have known you many pars, and cannot suppose any intentional disrespect on your part towards the Court; but you did not make your objection as it ought to have been made. lieu objected to the paper being read at all. Mr. CANDWELL—Ezeuse me, my Lord, I did not I was on the point of stating to the Court what my objection was, when your Lordship interrupting me, said, The Chief Justice will see to the:." Judge JEIV Is—Permit tne, Sir; I did not so understand you. I thought you had objected to the paper being read at all ; at least I so understood you. AIL l'aanwrit.—My objection was, that the statement of 'toren having been made in the absence of Gali./, the same of that person ought not to be mentioned by the Clerk bat as A or (:1). _ . . Mr. Cncss—As a matter of indulgence I should not object to the name of Halley bring omitted, although I cm clearly of opi. Mon that it is the duty of the Court to have the entire paper read. Mr. Cannws: he—The mention of Galley's Lame I take to be extreme-1y prejudicial to my client, and I should titer fore consider myself I.ighly blameable if I did not object to the course being pursued which I take to be irregular. The paper was then read. with the omission of Galley's name. It appeared that Rogers stated to tho caminittlag Mr.gistrate, that t h ey heard the money jingling in the cart, and looking to see what it was, found the money 1) ing in the bottom of the cart, and took it. The statetneht of Galley, which was very similar, was then rut in and read. Mr. Jsatice WARIIIIN summed up the evidence, and the duce,' afar n ft. minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of Ghat& age lest Rogers, acquilting, Sentenee—Three months' hard labour in the county gaol. Se3;,el Neienes and Joseph IV:id:all stood indicted for hinting, in the 'light of the I'dth of February last, burglariouslv broke and entered the mill of William Pennon, and stolen therefrim two bags , of bran. -- Mr. tf.ergeant Canes stated the facts of the case with the peat eat preeasion. ‘i'illiatu Pointon—l am a . miller. fleeing been robbed several times, I found it necessary to have a watchmen on the premises during the night. On the 19th of February , John Threadgold was tier watchman; and in the course of that Melt be gave an alarm. I opened is, bed-room window, and saw the flash sad beard the report er a pistol. This was Letwean eleven :led twelve o'clock. Bowl o second fired almost directly alterwa-ds, and then heard a ;,roan. John Threadgeld—l have known the prisoners at the bar about a year ; hare talked with them about robbing my master; met them in the fiekie a abort dote before Chroutuas ; they asked me if I worked at the mealman's; I told them not much: they then asked me if there was much money in We mill ; told them, romctimes 8/. or 9/. and sometimes only a few shillings ; they said they were very poor at that time, but had a good deal of money coming to them by-nod bye, and that they wordy/ give me 2W. then if I did not tell of their. coming to rob the mill. Newhall said they could unlock the dour of the house, and asked Mt if the countinghouse door was lacked? I sect it nes. I remember the night when the pistols were fired. I had been out with a nit te:o or three days berme, and lighted on the prisoners. They said they wanted some pig-neat. and asked if the dog was loose in the mill? I amid, • Vow, at night." T hey asked if there was not a window at the top of the tuill, that they might get into it hy going up a ladder to the top of the engine-house. We arranged that if any one was on the watch besides nie, i yes to make a noise by the kitchen door. On the night in question I I hewn, the dog bark by the n.JI. and opened and shut' ISe window to let theta know I was on watelfbawnyielf. tielVbali ante to the analow, and told me Newton was in the mill, and that lie was going down to hint, when they wonld get the stuff off that they Lad got. I waited awhile, and then Called my mater's son. 'ilefore this, Newhall mid me I was to come ant, and fire the pieta off. Went out with my master's ton, and Stanley and I saw Newton and Newhall. We arranged that I was to send then: to call neater up, whilst the prisoners made their escape. They were in the aster course, and they told me to tire nay pistol again, which I did, and they efterwards tired theirs. I was then to groan and makes 'wise as if I was hurt badly. They run away. Thomas Pass was then called, but the question was mooted from the Bench as to the degree of confirmation proposed to be shown ; when, it appearing to be very slight, the Court direettd the Jury to acquit the prisoners. .}edge J Env Is observed, that he had carefully read over the de. rukitions of Threadgold, and that he never heard of a store aban doned fellow. A verdict of Not Grill% was therefore recorded.

At the scafibld, on their knees (the Clergyman haring explained to them the coasequenecsiof falsehood at that awful moment), they all three declared that they were well aware of their fate if they 1 spoke falaehood, having nothing now to hope for from man, and less from God, if they spoke not truth ; they called heaven to wit news, in a most solemn manner. that they knew nothing of the I murder till next morning; begged the mercy of God for their pro secutor, and the prayers of the people; ascended the scaffold, and continued to repeat the same decloatioo till their attention was directed to a more important concern by the Rev. Clergyman. They died in about one minute.—Cork Chronicle. POLICE. GUILDWALL.

The watch produced by Mr. Beecham was the watch witness gave Shiela. 31r. Vipond admitted that he never had the watch in his posies. sion. and did not know it ; he had not charged Shiels with stealing the watch when he prosecuted him. . . . . Mr. HUMPHREY, 51r. Btechain's solicitor ' submitted that there was no evidence to prose that thewatcn had ever been the property of Mr. Vipend, or that he had any hen on it. The Alderman and his assessor concurred in this opinion, and dismissed the coinylsint. MATRIMONIAL FELICITY.—A respectable, well-dressed young womal, named Mary Bird, appeared before Alderman MITH, the Sitting Magistrate, to complain of the conduct of her husband towards her. _ _ It impaired from the statement of the unfortunate complainant that hit frail lord had forgotten the sanctity of the marriage vows' at.d had ken, for some months punt, indulging in amours with every lair one over a hose bean his deceptive manners had rained influence.

Another charge of the battle sort was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Martin against her lawful husband, Mr. John Martin. Mrs. Martin being questioned what trade her spouse was, she replied " a tailor," and then a pretty general feeling seemed to pervade the assembly, that the ease was " all my eye and Betty Martin." It, however, turned out otherwise. _ _ Mrs. ElisaiKth Martin told her tale of woe. She had been mar_ tied to John about eight years ; at first they lived very happily to. gether, but John soon funned an attachment for another woman, which now had ended in his having deserted his faithful wife for her ernblites. --- The .Magistrate told her be had no control 0.01.

Witness th.sught this an impro. bible sorry, but told prisoner he miithe leave a kw bunches of them with him, and when he had ascertained the market prier, if he would cull again he would pay him fur theta. Prisoner then left a kw bunches, and as WON a. he was gore witness placed them in his window, not doubting but they were stolen, and that so expos. ing thou would be she beet means of finding the owner; and so it turned out. fur they had not been in the window more than an hour before Mr. Cnnanig's gardener came into the shop and delta ed the grapes as his master's propene.

The windows were open, and there were marks of footsteps from the bottom of the garden. lle immediately proceeded to Covent-gar den, and found some of the same grapes in Mr. Orange's window.

The 91agistrate was of opinion there was not sufficient evidence to sustain die case, and dismissed the complaint. 111 %RV-LA-BONNE. On Saturday John Maradevess was brought up for examination, on s great variety of charges of unlawfully pawning. The pri goner has been a respectable watch-maker, in Seymour-place, Flryanatone-arprare, but in consequence of several persons having intrusted him with property which they were unable to get returned, he was taken into custody, and a large alwantity of pawnbrokers' duplicates were found upon him. Mr. MARNE* attended on behalf of the pawnbrokers, and stated the readineas of his clients to produce the articles for the purposes of justice, but said they were not compellable to restore them, un less the amount advanced, and the interest was paid. 111 r. Rawximsox concurred in this opinion, and many of the owners of the property, finding they could not recover their , goods from the pawnbrokers, gave up all intention of prosecuting the pri soner, and at their request had encir duplicates given up to than. The prisoner was remanded on some of the charges until Satur day next. UNION-HALL, Saturday the Overseers of the parish of Newington appeared to the summons of a poor man in the parish, who stated that two of his children were dead, one since the sth of April, and the other since the 10th, and the Overseers refused him the least essi►tance I to bury them. The Magistrate inquired of the Overseers why they refused an appliaition so reasonable and so praising? The Overseers said, that had the complainant applied to them in ti me they would have buried his children for him, as they were bound to do ; but instead of making application to them, he got coffins made himself; which had nails in them, and the Rector re. fused to allow any bodies, in coffins with nails, to be buried in the churchyard, which every one knew was his freehold, without being I paid his fees; and it was also a rule with them not to give any as sistance to the interment of bodice in any other than parish coffins. The poor complainant stated, that he had intended to bury his children 'without making any application to the parish; but after having pledged all his things, he found the fees and expenses so great, that he was unable to do so without some little assistance front tb• parish, and had offered to take even a few shillings. The Magistrate observed to the Overseers, that it surely could not be their desire to keep the bodies of the children above ground. The Overseers consulted for some time, and then agreed to give the complainant six shillings, with which he deported. It appeared that the Overseers, by their great exertions in their office, have reduced the poor rare of the parish to eleven pence in the pound. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

On Sunday night, a very promising young luau, the son of a respectable tradesman, who resides to the Dack-road, Ist' .ea, destroyed himself in a fit of insanity, occasioned, it is believed, b y a disappointment in love. He had hen for the last six months te. tacked to a young lady of the mine neighbourhood, who is pie. seised of sonsklereble female attractions. and had been in the habit of meetiog her at the Unioo Chapel, Isliugtoe, on Sunday', at Divine Service. Ile was observed to be in a very distressed state of mind for a few weeks before he committed violence on himself; and his friends, who watched him, had reason to suppose that his agitation arose front the indifference exhibited lately by the youn g lady towards hint. On Sunnay evening he beheld her at the usual place, fur the last time, arid was there treated by bee with the most studied coldness, anti, iteleed.aversion. Ile returned hone, and appeared more wretched than betbre. De, however, supped with Ins father and mother and brother, who rallied him upon the toe ! lancholy which had seized upon him, and endeavoured to argue him ' into his former good spirits. Ile seemed to be coescious of his weakness, and even supped with more than usual appetite. The effort, however, was followed by a fatal relapse et the malady. At about nine o'clock the unfortunate young man retired to his bed-room, leaving his parents and brother much relieved front their apprehensions as to the condition of his mind. In leas than ten minutes they were honor-struck at the report of a pistol, and upon going up stairs found the wretched object of their aprehmeions lying on his stain, and wholly deprived of life. De had put the muzzle of the pistol within his flannel waistcoat, and directed it in such a manner as to prevent the bullet coming in contazt with any of his ribs. Ile had shot himself through the heart. A Coroner's Inquest was held upon the body at the King's Arms, Park place, Back-road, on Tuesday evening, before Mr. Stirling, the Coroner for the county of Middlesex. It was stated, amongst other things, that the deceased had been heard uttering exchmiations when in bed, which proved that his mind was occupied with some overwhelming passion, and the words used were such as to leave but little doubt what that passion was. The bodily health of the deceased, it appeared, bad declined with his mental powers, and he had been conhned for some before his last visit to the chapel with a general debility of the system. The symptons be exhibited, however, were such as not to excite the slightest apprehension that he would make an attempt upon his life, the only change in his condor' to moat of those about him being the change how gen tleness to Incivility. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died by his own hand in a tit of insanity." The whole neighbourhood was greatly affected at the event, as the deceased was a very excellent young trait, and no more than IP years of age. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

This led to the press:l4 match : Mr. it. lirund having taken . SOU to to SW sovereigns that he would find • horse, within 16 days, to perform the likc distance, and to draw feather weight upon wheal. The match was done, on Saturday, over seven miles of pound, on part of the Iluntutgaion.road, in a singularly light-constructed box, of the height of ten feet, with a youth of 8 stone driving. The first seven miles was performed in 29 minutes and 29 seconds, the horse having once broke front the trot, and was pulled up, sod the wheels backed agreeable to the ankles. Half the distance was done in ten seconds within the hour. The 21 miles occupied an hour and 58 minutes, when the horse slackened in speed, and was halt a minute behind at the 26th mile. and in the 27th, winning being out of the question, the driver pulled up and lost the match. It could have been done with an extra two minutes, as the horse appeared to have slackened p.sce from a will of his own, rather than from distress.
