COURT OF CIIANCERY, rai.corses IMN , &hien 13. carrrivris tr. rissttt.rott. This was an amicable appeal, from the Master of the Rolls, to take the opinion of the Cniart. resPefl ing the real intentio• of a Testator, in the disposi tion or the residuary part of his property. The Testator died, possessed of a very considerable per sonal, and other propertys in the West Indies;. and. after leaving a handsome sum to his house keeper, with an annual allowance during her life, and various other bevests to several relations, he appointed six persons, eteeutors or trustees of his will, devising to two of them, with strong ex pressions of esteem and regard, :t legacy of 1,000 dollars each. •I•he Master of the Rolls had de creed, that from these expressions of regard, in the will, the Testator had intended to bequeath the re. s•duary part of his property to these executors ; but his Honour pronounced this decree, subjetl to the further eonsideration and direction of the 1.c. , 0 CH tNC e L toe. It was contended, on the one hand, that by the legacy of 1,000 dollars to each of these executors, the Testator intended to remunerate then, for their care and trouble, in the administration •rt his eff•Rs, bet did not mean that the residue should g:t to them, but to the next of kin. On the other hand, it was u•ged, that the legacy was not only an additional recompence to the executors, but being accompanied with those expressions of regard and esteem, the Testator intended to go farther, by leaving them the residue, over and above that sum, after having performed all the trusts of the will, and paid off the various bequests. The I.OkD CH ANC r 1.1.01, in taking a general view of the suhjeft, considered, that from the term and manner of the will in question, it was evident it had not been drann uo by an ignorant person ; but that the Testator had had legal advice and as sistance upon that occasion. The Testator had male no specific disposition of the residuary pat t of his property, this remained wholly equivocal ; and it was for the Court to consider, under all the circumstances, what was the teal and tine intention of the Testator? In the present case, this only could be corn, at, by looking into the general tenor and expressions on the face of the will itself ; and, fr• - un the expressions of esteem and regard, accom panying the bequest of 1,000 dollars to each of these two executors, his Lordship was of opinion, that the Testator did not mean that that sum was to be a frill and satisfaCtury remuneration for their trouble and anxiety, in performing the trusts of bis will, but that he certainly intended to go furtl.er. Considering all these circum,tances, his Lordship direCted, that the Appeal should be dismissed, thereby affirming the decree of the Master of the Rolls. - - HOME. CIRCUIT. C(11111.SISFORD, MARCH 14 CROWN SIDE. Edward Dunniee was indieted for stopping D a ni e l Hork!ey en the 'King's highway, putting him in fear, and feloniously taking from him one guinee. two half guineas, one seven-sbillirgs piece, a. me silver, and some halfpence. Mr. CL a wools, as Couns-I for the Proseentien. stated the business. The Proseentor was a servant to Mr. Dinley, a farmer, at Dagenharn..in this county; on tl.e 11th of February he had been to London, with a load if straw, which he had sold for his master ; on his return borne lie stopped at the Greyhound, at Chadwell, about nine at night, and drank a pitt of potter ; while he was there he saw three men drinking in the same room, two of whom he knew, and the third was a stranger. He took out his canvas purse to pay for his liquor, when the stranger observed to him, .• yet have got a good purse there;" he replied, that it was most of it his master's money. Having paid, he proceeded home ward, but he had nor proceeded above half a mile .lown a lane, when he was stopped by a man, who held a short sword or dagger to him, and demanded his money. He gave him the money, and then the rouber told him, that if he looked back, or at tempted to follow him, he would murder him. He was positive the man who robbed him was the same man he had seen A the Greyhound, and was the Prisoner at the bar ; when he saw him at the Grey hound, he was dressed in a smock frock, but when he stepped him in the lane, he had a thickset jacket on ; but, notwithstanding this change of dress, he was positive to his person. On cross-examination by Mr. Guenev, he still persisted, that he was positive to the person of the man. The Jury found the Prisoner Galli, but recom mended him to mercy. Wra , anelrr was inclißed for privately stealing, in the dwelling house of Daniel ficicile. at I.l.wth Ocitingtom 1201. in Bank -notes, three gold rings, and a pair of silver buttons, the property of Daniel Beadle. The pit:mentor stated, that he kept a little pub- Le house, the Robin HooJ and Little John, at North Ockingtou; the money which he lost was what be had got together to pay his brewer and distiller, ■nd he kept it in die till of a &web (chest) in his bed room. The prisorer had been in the house as a lodger for a few days. On the 2U of Oelober he observed him to come down stain, and go out in great haste, and he had a suspicion that he had taken away something from his fellow-lodger. He went np stairs to look about the room, and he found his hutch lid forced open, and his money all gone: he immediately gave the alarm, the p•isoner was pursued and taken, and all the money found upon him. James Drayton pursued the prisoner, and appre hended him; he gave up the notes, and begged the witness would let him go. Verdift Gni/4.

The ericurnstances of the murder are singniarls shocking. Tiniterat was a...labouring banker upon one of the canals in the neighbourhood of Lincoln, where he became cri minally intimate with a yono K woman ; end she proving pregnant, he was compelled, hr the parish ofilc.rs, to marry her. Alter the cos:many, they lett the village, in which it was pertinmed, frile iher ; and, the same evenine, the onfortunate ruing woman was found in the precinets of harilby. hav ing her head almost entirelc beaten from her body with a heavy club, which 7:onnerolha4 been observ ed to walk with, and which was ling h, her.

Jarratt, Dawson, and Hardy, in whose service be was as a confidential Ferran*. William Barker. the prisoner. was employed by Messrs. Jarrat, Dawson, and Ilardy. proprietors of some extensive Iron-works near Bradford, as a cies k and traveller : he had been in their service about theee years, and an almost unliorired confidence wis placed in him, until the circumstance occurred which led to the present prosecution. It was proveJ by Mr Monies. agent to the house, tha: at was the usual practice of the Prisoner, and of the other clerks in the house, when they re turned from a journey, to account with the cashier on the following day, when they entered in a honk, kept for the purpose, t'e several sums of money received, and the names of the persons of whom they were so received. On the 20th of July, 1805, the Prisoner received foam Mrs. Perkingron, of Halifax, the sum of 361. 10s. on account of his employer, and for which stun he never accoutred. To prove this part of the cue, Mr. Perkington, son of Mrs. Perkinroo, of Hali fax, who paid the money to the Prisoner, was called, who proved the payment of the sum in question to the Priscner ; and Mr. Firth, cashier to the house, who produced the book in which the entry of the name and sum ought ro have been made, but in which there was no such entry. But the most material part of the evidence against the Prisoner was a letter addressed to Mr. Tarrat, one of the partner, in the firm ; in which letter, the Prisoner casts himself npon his mercy, and gives a list cf several persons of wnom he had received mo ney, for which be had not accounted to his employ. err. and which money he confessed to have applied to his -wn use. The penitent style of this letter, and the anguish of mind under which it appear ed to be written, strongly excited the feelings of the Court. Another letter of the Prisoner's, ad dressed to one of his fellow-clerks, was also read ; the purport of this letter was to ri quest him to make some alteration in several entries in the led ger and day-book, to conceal from his employers the extent of the embezzlements in which he bad involved himself. This letter appears to have been written previous to that I .eforejnentinned. Alter the Darned Judge ha l recapitulated the evidence, and made inch observations as the case suggested; the Jury without leaving the box, found the Prisoner Quip, but recommended hint to the mercy of the Court; arid the Counsel fee the ptosecution said. be was authorised to state, that the Prosecutor joined most sincerely in this is commendation.
