In this case, the Soi.icrroa-Gananat., on a former day, moved for a Commission to examine witnesses. 40 bone essty under the special circum stances of the caw The question respected the legitimacy of the Defendant, who was a minor of tender yaws, and two orders for time to answer had been go aloud at different periods in the case ; buz no answer coming in. an order for an attachment was awarded against him. An order was also af terwards made for the Messenger of the Court to bring is the Defendant, in order that the Lord Chancellor raisin assign him a guardian, for the purpose of putuag in an answer, to enable the par ties to proeeed in the examination of witnesses, pre paratory to the hewing of the cause ; but the Mes senger was never able to find the Defendant, and the party was apprehensive be might be kept out of the way. until die witnesses might be dead, or gone abroad 1 or, prAmps, he might be carried to Scot hied. or soesswhere out of the jurisdiftion of the asset. so that the Plaintiff would lose the benefit al tha Witnesses' testimony entirely,unless his Lord ship should dint& the commission then sought for. He felt, under these particular circumstances, the application was p . erreftly regular ; and as justice would net he obtained without it. he thought that she Court (although he could not produce any pressisass es the subjea) would be justifiable in Slaking - ea sa - avert. . On diet lusseloo. Mr. %Li., on behalf of the What, alcoved. that even without the aid of Counsel, the interests of the infant in every respe& would be guarded by the Court. It was asserted, taut he was a suppositions or natural child, that his eitashot was abroad, and out of the jutisdiftion of die Cant* end due the Who's father was a Wit ness as aseehlidt ewe elle as to his illegitimacy . is this lionise &Audio hod so protector but his U:lhatip. Ural* ell these circumstances, it bad . 41:1 1 eels le Oa in an answer, but to bpi's his Lordship, who would his an te s at e a i n x t Clerks n tha hss rules o rd f ian the t Cour ot t I such cases. He apprehended, the allegations in the aSdavit, respelling the infant's being likely to he taken out of the jurisdietion of the Court. to take the chance of the Witnesses dying before he should pat in his answer, so as to defeat the object of the suit. was rather overstated. as there was no in temion of taking the infant away from the juris diaion of the Court, for the pisrpose of eluding the administration of justice. lie submitted. that the motion was not warranted by the predict of the Court.. s there were but three eases in which the Coettetelddi grant a commission de ewe ease, to per. pews, someway. First, where the Witness was above 70 years of ' v . Secondly. where he might be going out of the Jared:l/ion of the Court. Aoil "fee lhe was infirm, and the only Witness to a mater raft in the cause. The Loeb CHANCtI.I.Oa then observed, that he shoeld do in this case, as Lord Thurlow had dose in another case, and that was, he m should make a precedent by granting the Commission. Its taking a view of the pradices of the Coon in such cases, his Lordship farther observed, that the Law of Eng land had shewn moth regard and favour to Support legitimacy, that May other assumed fad ; so ninth so, that the rules of common reasoning had been in many cases dispensed with. Of the ev Is which were felt from the loss of testimony of Witnesses, none could form an adecinate ;lodgment, but those who had daily resort to Courts of Justice. It was, therefore, highly necessary, that the testimony of Witnesses should be preserved and perpetuated in all cases where there was danger of its being lost before a cause could come to a hearing ; he, the: e fore, had no doubt of the utility of granting the Commission, unless the Defendant should be bieugnt into Court, to have a Guardian assigned him in due form. This day, in pursuance of the above proceedings, the Defendant's Snlicitor attended with his infant client, in Louse. when the LORD Ca *Nett toe was pleased to nominate the senior Six Clerk his guar dian. to put in his answer. He was a remarkably fine boy, a b out six years old, of geateel deportment, and interesting appear. ance. Es-pate TV: RUGBY CHARITY SCHOOL. This was an application, by petition, by Lords Wentworth and Craven, and other Nr,blemen and Gentlemen, the Trustees of the Rugby School, in the county of Warwick, praying, that the Master might be slireded to appoint the most proper and useful mode of appropriating the sum of 10,0001. and 1,‘2001. per annum, for the benefit of this charity. The original sum, which arose out of several houses and lands in the county of Middlesex, belong ing to tbe Charity, animated to 45,0001. and, upon former applications, his Lordship's predecessor (Lord Eldon.) made similar orders. 'fhe SotletTOß c ation, observed, that, from ;he great respedalalii y of these Trustees, and the motives which induced them to apply to the Court. he was sure there could be no objedion to the prayer of their petition. The LORD CHANCLLLOR observed, that this was not only one of the largest of the great schools of England, but one of the most useful and merito rious.

CIVIL &Are the Loan Cute" Batas;. Mr. Moises, stated, that the declaration in this cause complained, that whereas the Plaintiff' bad a valuable dogs the Defendant beat the dog, and rubbed his sides with a caustic liquid, in conse quence of which, it became necessary to destroy the animal. To this the Defendant had pleaded, that the dog trespassed upon his premiies, and that he beat him to keep hint away. • Mr. G•a tow stated to the Jury, that this was a case of most unparalleled cruelty, as well as an ag gravated breach of the law. The Plaintiff, Mr. Hicks, was the keeper of a Livery Stable, at Brigh ton, and the dog which was destroyed was a abed useful animal in guarding the yard. The Defendant was of that class of religious seetarnes who are sup; posed to carry the principles of the Christian religion to a greater extent than their neighbours. He dressed like a Quaker, and would talk like one. his yea would be" yea" and his nay " nay," but so far from being , purer in his principles than his neighbours, his cop ied on the present occasion would shew, that he had' not the first rudiments of Christianity in his heart, for that was devoid of mercy. The Scripture taught u., that a merciful man would be merciful to his beatt, and he would add, he would also be merciful to his neighbour's beast. How far he had been so, the Anil would judge. The Defendant, it seemed, kept a bitch, and, as. was in rutting, thsc neighbouring &O would frequent his house. Hi had an unquestionable right to beat them away y and if that had been' all he had done, the Pinion, would have had no right to complain. But hi' should shew, that be 41taally enticed the Plaint. ; iff's dog into his yard; and then rubbed hint over with a liquid, which. from circumstances, he believed was oil •of vitriol. He then turned the poor creature out, and in the course of the next day it corroded the flank of the poor wretch, until the bowels altually dropped out, and it became neceisary to put the animal out of its misery: It was for MO Jury to say what recompence they would give the' Plaintiff. It was not in contemplation to prove air specific slue of the dog, but the Jury wciuld be As: tilled in giving the highest value that ever /et Wig set upon any animal of the sort. James Olumdon stated, that he knew the Plaint iff's dog, and he also knew the 'Defendant, who was a Chymist, at Be ighton. On the 4th of February last he saw the Plaintirs dog go into the house 'cif the Defendaot, and he saw the Defendant talrh the dog into the yard; he neat fetched a bottle from the shop, which contained some liquid ; he then wetted a piece of tow on the end of a stick, and he rubbed it over the dog's flank and sidea. Sarah Wilson, servant of the Defendant, gave the seine testimony ; she could not tell what the liquid was, but when it fell en the stones, it hissed like boiling: They had a bitch in the home, and the dogs frequently Cams there, Co per Sampson, ostler at the stables, stated, that the next morning, after the liquid hid been ap plied, about five o'clock, be first saw the dog ; it was then running about the yard in great agony. The hair on the back' eas hard, as though burnt ; but no the sides, where the dog had licked himself, the flesh hid been torn away, and there was but a thin skin keeping in the bowels. The tongue of the animal, by licking itself, was burnt hard, like a coal, and was so hard and stiff, that it remained bent. AbOut twelve o'clock, the skin in the flank was quite eaten through in holes, and the bowels dropped out on the ground. In this state, they shot the animal. Two other witnesses proved the same thing. Mr. Serjeant BRIT, for the Defendant, admitted, he could not say any thing in his justi fi cation, and that a 'Arch& must be had against his client, for the value of the dog. But he cautioned the Jury against giving 'way to their angry feelings, and awarding vindidive damages. T he y were, by their verdie, to compensate the Plaintiff for the loss of his dog, and not to punish the Defendant. The Loan Cul Er BARON also stated to the Jury, that by their verdid, they were to give to the Plaint iff compensation for the Lou of his dng. In his way of business, such an animal was certainly Use ful in pratraing The stable-yard (rims the 4epreda tions of strollers. But he doubted not, but that such cruelty would be punished by the Religious So ciety of which the Defendant was a member. They, no doubt, would expel lulu from amongst them, when They hesitd of such unparalleled cruelty. The Jury gave a verdift for the Plaintiff —Da mages, FM* The whole business on the Crown Side finished early; there were none but petty cases. - - - WILLIAM LANGMAM. of Cottesbrook, Esq. has annoilnced his intention to offer himself a candidate for the representation of the county of Northamp ton, in the next Parliament.
