LAW INTALLICENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. Logout'. law, MONDAY, MALIBU 10. The following Scots Peers took the necessary entity to qualify them to vote in the election of Scots Lo►ds :—The Dukes of Argyle, Athol!, sntl M 4,11- trose, the Earls of Galloway, Kintwul, Dmidoisald, B era d.slimsie, Northesk, Stair, and Ro+rberry ; Lords Somerville, R4ey, •od Napier. SEPARATION IN HIGH LIFE. THE FAR!. Or Wk%IIIIEATII F. THE COUNTED OF ‘VF.STNEATII. VISCOUNT CRAN BORN E, AN D ANOTHER. The ATTORNEY GIMBAL stated, this was :t motion toe an injunction to restrain the Deferidaws, 'Vacuum Craoborne and another person, the trots. tees of the Countess of Westmeath, from levying ors certain lands of the Noble Defendant's in Ire land, to raise 1,3001. to be paid to the Countess es au annuity. If there ever was • case snore thin another which required to be heard privately by his Lordship, this was that case; it arose out of differ ences which had arisen between the Noble Plain tiff anti his wife, the Countess of Westmeath— d.fferettees of a private nature, in which the pub lic could be its no way interested. He had •p. plied to Imre had it heard in private, but the De reorients thought proper not to consent. He would, its stating the case, refrain from touching on throe d:firrerices, with the hope that his Learned Friends who were .bpirwsed to him would follow his example. he Noble Plaint', was married to the Countess of Wetarneath in the year ; in the year 1817, some difference, having amen between thesis, they intended to separate, but by the intervention of some mutual friends, the Countess agreed to co habit again with him on his executing a deed, vest ing certain lauds in Ireland in trustees, for the purpose of sectoring to her • certain annual sum for ha separate use, in case of there being a recurrence of the same improper conduct on she part of the Noble nautili. The specific sum was not mentioned in the deed which was to be paid to her, as the amount was to be settled by friends when they ceased to cohabit together ; and he undertook to execute an instru ment to that effect whenever k separation should take place; and that Lady Rosa Nugent, their in fant daughter and only child, then shoot(' live with the mother. and be under her sole control, the Noble Plaintiff making an allowance for her main fro:nice and education; and dust in case of • se paration, and afterwards a reconciliation took ' , Lee. that the separate allowance of the Countess ells not to cease. but to be only suspended, and renewed on any future misconduct on the part of the Noble Plaiutitf. Afterwards, in the year IBM there was 'Maher deed executed, which although (feed in May, was not executed until the month of August in that year, the parties to which were the Noble Plaintiff. the Countess, Viscount Cranborne, mud a Mr. Wood, as trustees for the Countess, by which the Noble Plaintiff in consi deration of 101. paid to him by the trustees, and also in consideration of his being about to sepa rate from the Countess, vested certain lands in Ireland in the trustees for ninety-niae years, to levy on them the manual rum of 1,3001. as a sepa rate allowance for the Countess, tend after the rX. piretiou of six years to levy for the further sum of 3tlo/. per annum, to be paid to the Countess for ol.e man.teiesoce end education of the children of the marriage. He el s° covenanted that he would slot in any way interfere with the Countess, but that she .hould live to all intents and purposes as if she was unmarried. and he also covenanted t hat lie would rut sue in the Ecclesiastical Court for the restora tion of his conjugal rights. There was not. bow e.er, any covenant in this deed on the part of the trustees to indemnify the Noble Plaintiff from the drlas of the Countess, and so far it differed from all the deeds of the same nature that he, the Leartred Counsel, had ever seen. After the exe t talon of this deed the parties lived together for teethe months. Mr. YBLAxx, junior Counsel for the Noble Countess, mid it was not the case; it wss true that ths Eirl of Westmeath was in the house, but they 41:4 not lire together as man and wife; it was also a fact that Lord Delcin was born in the month of November, afire the execution of the deed is AsiguA, but the Countess was pregnant with him at that time. The Arroax Eir-GusaAL, in continuation, said, that the Cowden had withdrawn herfelf from tire protection of the Noble Plaintiff, and her trus tees had threatened to levy on the lands of the No- We Plaintiff, to raise the 1,300/. per annum for her u.e. It was his intention to enter as little as possi ble into the disputes and altercations between the Noble parties; but all that was sworn on that subject by the Countess was anterior to the 'w asting of the deed, and by their having after wards cohabited together, it did away with the effect. of the deed, which was decided in the cue of Lady St. John, and it was held in the came way in the Ecclesiastical Court, where a suit was instituted for a divorce, that if fresh cohabita tion took place there was an end of the suit. The deed was a contract without a consideration, therefore the posters ought not to be allowed to enforce it, as the deed was in itself vicious, as it covenanted for the payment of 1,3001. a-year, in contemplation of a future separation to dissolve a solemn contract at the desire of only one of the p,rtits. He therefore bad no doubt but his Lord ship would grant the injunction, as h e nova he o f opinion that it was the interest of the parties to bury their disputes in oblivion. Mr. HART, leading Counsel for the Noble Counters, said he would have waited until all the Counsel were heard on the same side as the Attor ney-General (Ira war usual) before he attempted to address his Lordship, if it were not that he wished to know what was the ground that his Learned Friend built his motion on. If it was necessary to raise an inquiry, he would be obliged to go into all the facts of the case. If his Learned Friend meant that the covenants of the deeds were not good at law, his motion was unnecessary, for whet► they came to be enforced in a Court of Law, the pro per tribunal would determine that point. Mr. HORN Eg on the same side as the Attorney. General. said that this was a question which in volved points of the highest importance, as it related to public policy. Marriage was one of the most sacred contracts, and could not be dissolved by the consent of the parties, much .less at the whim or caprice of one of them. Panties, after 'win. , enter. ed into such a solemn contract were disabled by the public, law from snaking it a nullity. by the virtue of deeds, creatitig private divorces. When the deed of 1817 was executed, the noble portie‘ were living together, and they considered it of such little importance that there was no specific sum mentioned in it as the allowance of the Countess, in the event of a separation, and it was impossible to separate the two deeds from each other. The Coolness by her marriage settlement was entitled to 5001. pre a:inuai as pin money. Ile therefore was convinced ou the ground of public policy alone his Lordship would see the necessity of granting the injunction, for if he did slat it would tend to encourage private divorc.a of the same kind. . Nlr. II A N9Oll firiiovlrd On the same side. Mr. BLAKE, Counsel with Mr. Mort, stated, that his Learned Leader was unavoidably absent, but he desired him to go on, and he could assure his Lordship, at no time that he ever had the ho nour of addressing him, that he felt himself la bouring under so much difficulty. Ills Learned Friends could not he more anxious than lie was, to exclude from the public the facts and circum stances of this case, hut leis duty to his noble client, the Countess of Westmeath, would compel him to state them, and he would say witl t the fear of contradiction, that the facts •nd cir cumstances warranted, anti bore her Ladyship out in every part of her conduct. Ile went with his Learned Friends in holding, that the ceremony of marriage was indissoluble; they had, however, tried to connect the two deeds gether; lie would shew that they were quite di►- tinct. It had beets said, that the first deed was executed for the purpose of allowing the Countess to make use of whim and caprice ; butt what would his Lordship think when lie was informtd of the fact, that it emanated from the Noble Plaintiff himself, and this he would prove by the lettrir of (lie Noble Earl, set out in the answer of the The ATTORNEY-GENERAL put it to his Lord ship, whether he thought there was a necessity for the private letters which passed between parties so nearly connected, to be read in public. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that perhaps it might be useful for him to state then what was his opinion of the first deed, which wits, that it was good for nothing. He would, however, give Mr. Blake the benefit of this, which would make the reading of the letters unnecessary, that the conduct of the Noble Plaintiff was as bad as could be, and sufficient to entitle the Countess to a divorce, and when he done this it was sufficient for him to ground his argument on. The notion he had always enter tained of these kind of deeds was, that the Court had nothing to do with adultery, or any other ground that would be sufficient to entitle the ag grieved party to a divorce in the Ecclesiastical Court. Ile understood that this was a bill alleging, that on the groomd of public policy the deed ought to be ordered by the Court to be delivered up. Mr. BLAKE, to conti 111 l ation, paid, that the deed of 1817 was just as had been stated by his Lord ship, and lie would not waste the time of the Court by arguing that it bore any other character ; but subsequent to that deed, the Countess was going to institute a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court, for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, to prevent which the Noble Plaintiff executed the second deed, and although it was dated in May it was rot executed until August, and lie would explain to his Lordship the reason :—The Noble Plaintiff, to prevent the suit being commenced in Doctors' Commons, executed u similar deed in May, but protested against his own act on the fol lowing day, and wrote to the trustees, requesting that they would furnish him with a copy of the deed, they sent it in a law stationer's to have it copied for him ; and he went there and asked to see the deed, which on bring put into his hands, he destroyed, and went to Ireland, where he remained for three months, and on bring re tuonstrated with on his return on the impropriety of his conduct, he executed the present deed in August, and the parties never cohabited together after it was execnted, and the trustees received the annuity of 1,3001. for the use of the Countess for a considerable time after it was executed. Ile there fore contendid that the deed was not bad in law, and that it was not against public policy. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" The difficulty I always find in there kind of cases is, how a wife can be entitled to live separate front her husband without a divorce being declared by the Ecclesi astical Court. I believe there never was a case where this Conrt granted an injunction to prevent proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court but one, that was die case, I believe, of Cuffe and some body, whose name I do not remember." Mr. BLAKE said, that case, with all deference to his Lordship, was not in point, and it could not be so without the Countess was applying to die Court for an injunction to restrain the Noble Earl front suing for the restoration of his conjugal rights. Suppose, for instance, he had given the Countess out of his bounty an addition to her pin motley of i,3030/. per an num, the Court would not allow him, by his own net, afterwards, to take it away from her ; then if lie injured her, and gave her 1,3001. as a separate maintenance, by the way of compensation for that injury, would the Court listen to him, when he tried, as lie did by this motion. to make that com pensation null and void ? The omission of the covenant in the deed for securing the Noble Plain tiff against die debts which the Countess might incur was caused by himself; it was about to be inaerted, when he said it was unnecessary, as he had, even after all tint had passed, too much confidence in the honour of the Countess to suppose that she ever would make him liable for them. Yet, in the face of his own declaration, he came into Court to take advantage of au omission in the deed usigi. tinting with himself. By the answer of the 13e fendatit, Viscount Cratiborile, the brother of the Countess, and one of her trustees, lie offered to give loin security against his being liable for the Countess's debts. Under all these circumstances lie trusted his Lordship would dismiss the motion with costs. Mr. WETHERELL rose to address his Lordship ar Couto , el for the trustee.. Thr LORD CHANCLI.I.OR (it being four o'clock) obrerved, hr was under the necriirity of rising, but lie would beer llr. Wetherell in tile tuurnlng wt the sitting of the Court. 7HZ TURF.

Yesterday the examination of Sarah Ease, fur having set fire to the house of Mr. Walsh, the King's Messenger, of Nu. 7, Charles-street, St. James's square, was resumed be fore J. E. Conant, Esq. the sitting Magistrate. Several gen tlemen from the neighbourhood of St. James's-square, &c. attended, in cifinequemee of the great interest the ease excited. The Prisoner, whose appearance is that of a good looking country girl, was plsced at the bar about one o'clock, and the eIVIMiII3IIOI/1 lasted fur nearly five hours. 8. Plank, the officer, stated to the Magistrate that the Prisoner expressed an inchuation to divulge other circum stances relative to the house being set usi fire. Mr. Conant said he world bear ■ny communication the Prisoner bad to make, but he would have her to know that he corld make no promise to her. She declined saying any thing at present. Mr. Walsh's evidence, which was taken on Saturday, was read over to him, which he swore to as bring correct. He added, that there was, he understood, a trilling dispute be tween Mrs. Walsh and the Prisoner. Bbe had no followers to his knowledge. Mary Brown gave evidence to prove that the Prisoner, at the intervals of the fire, was in the house under very suspi cious circ timstances, and made alarms herself when the ire broke out, after placing the children ita bed, in Millen hour after time glace was on fire. Wm. Pcrrott, servant to General Vincent, who lodged in the house, deposed that he left a small fire in the General's room on the day the fire broke nut, and requested the Pri soner not to put any coals no. On his return home he found the Generars room on fire, the curtains, chair, and wainscot ing were burnt. At half-past ten o'clock iu the eveaing Sarah, the Prisoner, made an alarm while she was on the stairs that her mistress's bed-room was on fire. General Vincent left the horse in consequence of the fire. Mrs. Walsh deposed, that she was sitting in the parlour when she was alarmed by the windows breaking; on an alarm hciug made in the street, she went and found General Yin rent's MUM on fire; prior to this the Prisoner had been left in the kitchen ; there was an alarm of fire twice during the same day, and the Prisoner, un each occasion, exerted herself to extinguish them; she never quarrelled with her to cause her Mr. &ad, Surveyor to the Sun Fire-offiee, attended the place on bearing of the fires, and found that the drawing loom, besides other parts of the house, with furniture, were injured by some person evidently having set fire to them. Mr. Ws!drop, Surgeon in the King's service, deposed,that he was applied to by the Prisoner who complained of having fits, in consequence of a plethora, a disorder which is some times accompanied with insanity; although he could not say the t'risanee was insane, he should be warranted in saying she was at times deranged. Plank, the of f icer, slated, that the Prisoner had told bins privately, when ordered by Mr. Conant to take her aside, that one 'lay last-week, a woman, who was a fortune-teller, cause to Mrs. 's door, with some flowers in a basket, she forced heriflrib at the door, and would not leave until her mistress turned her out ; she beckoned the Prisoner to follow her. Mew. Walsh shortly after gave her sixpence to buy a myrtle from:She woman ; she followed her to Water lo,-place, when she began abusing her mistress, and said she might want a bit of bread herself, and persuaded her to set fire to the house, and threatened her if she did not, that she would do i 1 herself, she being a fortnne-teller, and the fear that she would do something bad to her if die did not set the house on fire, urged her to it. Sbe said she did net do it from hatred or malice towards her em ployers. In ber first confession of setting the house un fire, she said it !arose from a quarrel with her mistress. She was fully committed to Newgate for trial, lied the parties were boomd over to prosecute. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. 1 , 011T1310V111, MAUCH 19: - .

The Volunteers succeeded in securing fire of the most active among the snob, and marched them to the police-office, a distance of half a mile from the drill-ground, where the attack commenced, and temperately but firmly repelled several attempts to rescue the prisoners.—(Glasgow Courier.) HUNT'S TRIAL.—We understand that 140 wit nesses from Manchester, in favour of Mr. Moir, joined at Huddersfield and Halifax, on their way to this city, having two banners, each inscribed, " The Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing hut the Truth."

On Tuesday night Mr. HUNT was met near Leeds, by nearly :MOW persons, who took the horses from his carriage, and dragged it into that town by torch-light. They accompanied him out of Leeds the following morning, offering to draw him on the way to York, which he de. clined.—( York Herald.) RAMSGATA Masc. 17.

There was nn absurd statement which originated in some of the Dublin pritita—and which was copied, milli notes of admiration and horror, by our London contemporatirs, relative to an attempt on the lives of the Earl of Rowse and Lord Oxmanton. We did not think it expedient to contradict this foolish pa ragraph, in Cite first instance—but it is now neces sary to observe that it we ere authorised to state that the account which hat appeared in some of the newspapers of • conspiracy having been formed against the Earl of Rosse and Lord Oimantou is unfou tided." The Assizes now in progress in the West, are beginning to produce the consequences which ■re anticipated. Though the disturbances have not altogether subsided, yet the last accounts received induce us to hope that the measures, legal and ordinary measures, ae are rejoiced to say, will be found, in the course of a few weeks, to restore the Western Counties to obedience. Sligo and Leitrim ere contented. The examples made in Roscommon Lave already been felt to work a salu tary change. Galway, in all probability, will pre sent the heaviest calendar; but there can be no doubt that the execution of the law will be suffi cient to crush for a while, the spirit which has spread so general an alarm, and which has caused so many outrages. Thus, it will be found, that the anticipations of these who, like ourselves, contended that the law of the laud would be found sufficient to encounter and to subdue the evil, will be realized.
