Mr. HART stated this was the motion of the Defendant, to dissolve an injunction restraining him from transferring or dispositig of certain stock, which stood in ills Milne woad that of Mrs. A one Hudson, deceased, to a large amount. He moved this on the answer of the Defendant being put in. The ptayrr of the hill was certainly • sin: viler one; it prayed that an aecousit might he taken of what stock, and all other property, that Mrs. Anne Hod son died possessed of in Jllllll4fy, 1 820. The bill was tiled in the month of Ju,e following, and it alleged, that the 1'10 . '11,4 was the next of kin of the testatrix, bring her first cousin; that she made a will, leaving the Defendant her legatee; that the testatrix was near 80 years of age when she ex ecuted the will ; and that she was woman of weak intellect, and was accustomed, in the lifetime of her husband, to live in a very meats manner, without a servant; that the Defendant, whose name had been Farthing, was a clerk in the bank ing-house of Morlsnd and Co. snit from the situa tion he held there, found out that the testatrix had property in the I lands in a large amount, mod g ot introthiced to her at a small house she resided in or Twickenham; he pretended to have a great attach ment to her, and in the year 1818, he removed her front Twickenham to a braise lie had taken for her in theist Suffolk-street, Charing-crow., where he kept her secluded front her relations and Glenda, and in the mouth of May, lal9, lie removed her to a house be had taken fur her in Somersetshire, and by repeated promises to her that he would merry her, he prevailed WI her to transfer stock to the amount o; 40.0001. which stood in her name, to lutist of his and beep, and afterwards to make a will in his favour, bequeathing to him the residu e of her property. The bill then alleged that the testa trix, in company with her deceased husband, had been, in 1805, overta ken wit ha thunder-storm on t heir road from Londo:, to Tericketiloun, which frighten ed her to steal a degree that it brought on a fever, and that she never recovered her right faculties afterwards, and to shew her imbecility of nittal, it stated that persons making her handsome presents out of civility, she returned them by giving them pence. lie (the Learned Counsel) contended that this circumstance, instead of tending to prove the imbecility of her mind, spewed the strength of it, es she was aware for what purpose the presents were made. The bill then went on to allege that the testatrix had been so parsimonious in her dress soil food, that she scarcely /tamale(' herself the tie cesoiries of life; that when the Defendant removed her to his house in Suffolk-street. he furnished her with fine clothes and a coach, which she expressed her pleasure at ass child would, by which means he had got such an influence over her as to deprive her of any will of her own. Tilt LORD CHANCELLOR—" Does the deed of gift and the will refer to the same property ?" Mr. HART said they did not, as the will gave the general residue of her property. The Learned ,! Counsel then proceeded to state the affidavit, in sup- part of the bill ; the first was, that of the PI tintiff, H o dso n , wh o h e ed at Wernolllll, and who never had any ctiminunication with the testatrix while s' e resided at Twickenham, and he of course only spoke to his hearsay and belief, which made it un necessary to go into his affidavit, particularly as his Lordship would give him all the credit for his hear ay and b-lief it deerrved; but there was another epecire of evidence of persoits speaking to facts which cattle under their personal knowledge. A person of the name of Morgan, who was a foot man of the Defendant, had made an affidavit, that when he went in live with the Defendant he was a clerk in a banking house, and had furnished lodg ings at No. 2, Great Suffolk-street; that. he after. weeds took a house in the same street, and furnished it ; and that he, the deponent, recollected his bring ing the old Lally, Anne Hudson, in a carriage to the house on a eisit—the dined there: she was so excessive lame that two persons had to a s s ist h er from the catringe into the house. second time she came she remained—that wee in May, 1818 : the was so lame then, from ulcerated legs, that the elopement and her maid servant had to carry her up stens. That the Defendant desired him to deny her to every person that might mill to see her ; that several persons from the nrighbouthood of Twick enham did call to see her, and that he denied her. according to the instructions be had received from the Defendant. The Defendant hired a car riage for her, and on Sundays he used to take her out in it, and whenever she went out in the carriage he would not allow her to he accontpanied by any one but himself; the old lady was invited to dine at 31r. Reeves's, iit Palace-yard. but the Defend ant would tint allow her to go„ On the Sib or 9th of Nley, 1818, the di:totem was in the r 1 alone with the testatrix, when she said she would not be long luring in that way ; he asked her in what way she lucent ? she answered, in so confined It way, as the Di.feridaiin had promised to marry her, and that he was a very nice ruin indeed.

Morland and Co. were she bankers of the brother, and tney were continued by the testutrik as her bankers. and Mr. Morland received her dividends. The Defendant was chief clerk to Morland and Co. ; and they knowing hr was going to Twickenham in the tear 1817, they requested him to call on the testatrix nith their respects, which he did, and nothing primed between him and the testatrix on ttli'at occasion, but the usual compliments that courtesy demanded. He mil mated that the testatrix was 77 years of age, and he, the Defendant, 41; that he took the name of Beauchamp at her request, it being her mallet) tonne. He denied that he ever pretended any ntiactiment to her, or that he ever promised to marry her, or used any improper memos to remove her from Twickenham; that it wori at her own desire that she Caine to reside at Suffolk-atreet. and that her maid.wervant accompanied tier; that she was not, while residing there, secluded from her friends, as she had several of them to dine with he►, He denied that he did, by endue influeoce, procure her to assign over to him soy part of her stock. lie admitted that she did transfer the stork into his and her image, arid by her will that she gave him the residue of her property.

That Mr. John Hosier, of Pall-mall, was the adviser of the testatrix on the occasion of tier executing the deeds, sod that lie explained to her the nature of them before she executed them ; said the reason she gave fur traiisferriug the stock, from her own name to that of her's and the Defendant's, we., that he hail giverh up his business in town to accompany her to Sorrier aetthire, and she brimmed Mr. Hosier that it was her own propose!. The Defendant also said, that so for front the testatrix trot being capable of transacting business, that she wrote a good plain hand, and kept au 'recount in her own mime of the money she drew front her bankers, and that she was tensible up to the last hour of her life; that dot ing her life she always dressed well, either in a !dock silk or black satin gown, which she pre ferred on account of being very corpulent. While she was in Suffolk she used the carriage constantly, and she was never prevented by the Defendant from going out when she !deified. The Learned Counsel then stated, that there were several affida vits in support of the Defendant's answer ; the first, that of Elizabeth Griy, the Galant servant of the 'ratan-ix, and who had long heed with her. setting forth, that she nevet knew her but to be of sound mind, and that the conduct of the Defen dant to the testatrix was alwais that of a sou to a parent, and that she never considered there was any other attachment between them. There were several other affidavits, contradicting that of Mor gan. the Defendant's discarded footman, and par ticularly as to the offensive smell from the legv of the testatrix. The Learned Connael then con- tended, that there was no ground, ur priociple of equity, on which the injunction could stand. The affidavit of Morgan wa4 so contradicted, that it could not be believed, and if his affidavit wei thrown aside there was an end of the case. He had no doubt, from the whole circumstances of the cas., but his Lordship would he of opinion that the injunction ought to be dissolved. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" The capacity or in capacity of the testatrix is not the question lim— it is. whether awoman of that great age, when she was executing the deed of transfer, hatl full know ledge of what she was doing. I wish, therefore, to see this instrument for the transfer of the funds iu both names. for there may be a declaration of trust in it—and the Court will not allow a person pro viding these instruments to receive benefit from them without the grantor had full knowledge of what he was doing. Let the see the deed and the will." Mr. SHADWELI., on the same side as Mr. HART, said, that the will and probate were in the Eccle siastical Court, null contended dist the mere trans ferring stock to the names of A and 13, made them joint tenants of the stock. The Loan CHANCEI.I.OR—" Did the testatrix understand that if the Defendant died before her she was giving to her personal representatives ; if she did not, will this Court uphold the deed with out it contains a declaration of trust ? You say, Mr. Shadwell, the transfer makes them joint tenants, but that was not the intention of the deed, as 1 understand it, for if she died first he was to take all, and if he died first she was to take nothing. We cannot go further without having the instruments produced, for the testatrix could not have understood the effect of the deed, when after ward♦ she .!ave the same property to the Defendant by will. Lrt the motion stand over until to morrow morning, hir the Court must put itself in possrssion of the contents of the instruments." Further consideration postponed.

HALL This was an action for slataterous words spoken by the Uelendatit concerning the Plaintiff. The Defeud:int pleaded in justtlicstion that the vrurtls e.pokett were true. Mr. Guns/ Ex stated the facts to the Jury. The Plaintiff is an opulent farmer at Lowten, in Essex; the Drirtitiattt had hero his Bailiff, hut had lett his service shortly before the words were 'Token for winch the :action was brought. The Def.-Aldan', in a COIIVCII4IIIOO which took place at the boccie of Mr. Noah Heath, said. " There is as much difference between Hogg and Philby as there i. between a Chtiothm rind a savage. Many a poor man hag been .rut out of the country fur less than Philby has done; for he caught a sheep up the lane, and wanted me to kill it, hut 1 would not.

The Plaintiff tit this action (Dr. Reece) had some time since an action against a Mr. Clarke, nn which the Defendant in the prevent action acted as his Agonies , . On the morning when that cause c a m e o n to hr tried, a malarial witness was discover rd to be absent, in consequence of which the Plain tiff Mit notisuited, and hid lint only his own, but the costs of Mr. Clarke to pay, amounting together to 811. Mr. Clarke, immerlistely on the nonsuit being declared, settled by paying a sum to the thereby acknowledging that there had been cause of action. The Ines of the costs, it wit contended, arose from the neglect of the Attorney, whose duty it was not to have gone to trial in the absence of a material witness, but rather to have withdrawn the recoud. Mr. SCaat.EL.T, for the Defendant, contended, that as the Plaiii:iff ithilertook to have the witness in question, who had beers los shopmaii, fool). coining at the Pine of the trial, null told the De fendant to look and have the town witnesses ready. he was not liable. It appeared that the Plaintiff sent a confidential person of his own down to Col chester with a subpoena for the witness (Firmin) whose preaelice was to material, and that person left the office of the Defendant on the preceding day at three o'clock, took the •tape for Colchester, returned post, and arrived at Westansister-Hall the next morning an hour alter the cause had been tried, and the Plaintiff nonsuited. The Defendant on the morning of the Pia! saw a clerk or shopinsn o f t h e 11,4 11 4 in We.amitister-1101, and imme diately asked him if Finnan was arrived ? Hr re plied, that lie made no doubt he was arrived and was perhaps breakfasting at one of the coffee houses. In the confidence that he would arrive, the Defendant la the trial proceed, and the Plaintiff was, in consequence, nonsuited. The I.OIID Curia .lus•rlcE charged the Jury, that if they thought, under the circumstances, that the Defendant might have ascertained if the wit ness had arrived, by going to the Coffee-house where the witnesses assembled, he had exercised that degree of diligence which lie wits hound to do, they would find a verdict for the Defendant. If they thought he had not, they would find for the Plaintiff; allowing in their estimation of damages a sum which the 1 1 1 •tf must have paid had the record been withdrawn The Jury, after a short consultation, found a ver dict for the Plaintiff, &images 30!. Mr. SCARLETT said, in justice to the Defendant. he must say, that he recollected his mentioning to him (Mr. Scarlett) the absence of the witness, and the circumstances, and he had advised him not to withdraw the record.

This case excited considerable interest in conse quence or the Prisoners being part of the gang of thieves who were rescued from the custody of Marsden, th,e Marlborough-street gaoler. The fol lowing facts were proved in evidence : Mrs. Watkins is an irged woman, keeping a gro cer's shop in Shepherd'it market, May-fair; about seven o'cloek i iVthe evioA of the 21st November the prisoner TOrirs calliti at the shop and desired her to send elbs. of green tea to the house of Dr. Hear" in Curzon-street. She said it must be a mistake, as she did not serve Dr. Hearns ; but he assured her it was quite right, and desired she yould rend the tea iinmed:ately. Still, however, conceiving it to be a mistake, she sent her porter to -the house to inquire. He hail been gone only a few minutes when the shop-door (which was fastened only with a latch) was again opened, and five young men entered. Mrs. IVatkitis and her sun, a boy of fifteen, were then the only persons in the shop. Three of them walked straight into the parlour, and one took a watch from the mantle-piece, while those who remained in the shop took out the till, mid emptied it of its contents, consisting of 2/.

A gentleman's ser vant, who was in the kitchen, ran out in paricit of them, and the prisoner Jones was secured as he was running away, calling Stop thief !" as loud as he could bawl. Tne other two Prisoners, and a fail named Merrily (who %VIII rescued, and is still at large), were afterwards taken, loitering in the neighbourhood. Dunn.
