Lord Hardwicke held that a pennies brio( au idiot was toned for the parpnse of a eummoissou of lunacy.

Lord Hardwicke,io micelle, where be refused to issue • commission against a peron, he directed that he should not ementeamy deeds withouttlet directhin of the Court. This was the doctrine of Lo►d Mardwielo, and it had been acted or ewer Man. There Meertaisily • great difficulty is drawing • line between ;nasally aid •eakeeao of mind. The Comore. lion of this country bad taken care to throw ;reelection curer weakness of clad, so as not to deprive the paws visited wit► that misfortome of his properly, and allows • Felines to • be presented for inquiry whetherhe es t.f wend mud or an. The Chancellor hes then to inquire whether lb re is a ground for further inquiry ; if he iwof opinion that. share is, then it goe s to the Conneissioners, and they have • right lo traverse hone that tribunal. In the present case there hare been laid before me the •ffidayita of she medical mss, Mr. Powell• Mr. Sutherland, Mr George Tit and Mr.Wanser. If this ease was sow before me for the tint nine, sod •n camel had been ruined, I would hare Omagh' it asy duty to have ordered fresher inquiry; hut it occurred to me that in the year 1811 a similar "poke:diem was made to me by Mr. N►wton Fellowes, who is the brother and 11 , 1 r laStlillp. sive of the Fool of Peotsmooth, for the chill that had heels mentioned was • girl, but if it was a hop, I do out thiuk loughs so strip hue of 'bat character. The affielaytia then gave • history of t►e life of the Earl sit Persimmon', his ear. rine with Mtn Graff Norton, his second 'marriage with Mae limounoted that be haul executed toportaut areas, to mute of which Mr. Fellow*" was a party. As to the second mar riage of the Noble Earl, I considered that I had nothing to de with it, as the question before an, wee that of the io. sanity of hue mind. The medical men at that rise made affidavits, but they °oily spoke to ccccc trletties• of conduct; mud the weight of their evidence was, that the Earl WWI of sound mind, the evidence sa to the VI treatment of the Noble Earl was very scanty. Then, whether right or *roar, I thoteght if • permea lead all that case which • commissar witahl throw around ►im, 1 ought out to interfere, if the tare was as total as if the interposition of the Court had taken pat awe. aviag reed every affidavit e• that occasion, I did rose (o the upinioa that Lord Portimouth was of weak oiled; sod if the application had hero made to me sootier, was of op•uien that I ought to have granted it, but I would not du an theu. The question mow is, whether what has passed since will justify use to ordering further inquiry There is do (kith( but the charges of impotency, cruelly, ■nd adultery, may be made matter of inpairy, mad the law of the laud he. provided tribunals for that purposes. 1 have nu new to inquire into them directly, bat indirectly (cove, as they hear 00 the surly or lemony of the Noble Earls but say thing I have so decide oat has nothing 14/ du with then', au far as confirming them as facts. If there has born impotency, adultery, and cruelty, it does sot follow there la an unsoundness of mind; but if they du eon, the sumelnese of Mud will depend on the couldn't of the peruse suffering under them. • There may be cruelty, impothacy, and adultery, hut us those ponta I give no opinion at alt; but if such facts du exist—and I wish to be understood as nut prejudicing the question by saying they do exist; but If Mu facts have lakes place, it la sty duty to look at the demeanour of Lord Parwomoutb while suffering under them. Looking at the "Admen, or the Medical men, I find that of Dr. Graham met by that of Dr. t Haekhead'e, which obliged me to exsm:.te them with the • arbeequeut affidavit of the latter gentleman, in which he said there was not a little of evideoce before tho Court of the unsaved wield of Lord Portsmouth. I renoot help expressing my opinion that Dr. Raokhead approached Ike Earl of Portemouth in • way that his inquiry into the state of his miud could not be useful. I may be wrong, but it lathe upision 1 ham formed from brig rape. fleece, which opinion is borne out by that of the other mg dieal men. It does not appear to ate that Dr. Baiskltead has represented things as they were, It was Smuttier thing to say that • Nubleman would haves throne to ail on, on the Meth Of his child, from saying he would have • threoe the same as used by his Majesty on the day of the coronatioes, to admi nister justice iw , and to sit in on the birth of • child which be declared was nut his. It was not because there was adul tery, impotence, and cruelty, or a depraved mind, that the Court was to grant the inquiry, for there might be ahem all without hie berig of umottod mind. As to the opinions of the medical gentlemen, the preponderance is to Lord Posts muutti's mod being unwound; then this being the opinion of the medical Gentlemen, I leave out of the question all that has bees •std to have taken place at Fairlawn, South End, Harwich, Eiliohurgh, and London ; they have bear Solemnly denied Oa oath. Then takilig the cm ',together, I think it is my duty to direct au inquiry to see which side the truth is 011 dorm so. I beg to be understood as not imputing soy (Mug to any person. The eircumst stows of the former case differed from this, for there I thought there was a protection that could be thrown vomit 'Lord Portsmouth that does not now exist. lam therefore of opinion, that expediency calls fur the inutile of the commitment. As 16 where or in what pl•ee - It should be exe cuted, and who ought .o be the commissioners, I will deter mine in the course of the week, a Mimi, tasting any leaps- Mien cut any person, sad concluding wine these übserva 'lions, 1 do say the commission shall issue."

If the Defendant owtight to get off upou any legal dais, he (Mr. Phillips) nutria not envy him that triumph. The Defendant, trim had stated, is • clergyman of the church of England, living in luxury and *potence; hi 4 (divot, a poor man, who had hired hinis ,s l to the Defining as his gardener.
