It would be seen that the Petitioners wile in the habit of borrowing money from their nude the lunatic, and that Moorhouse had connexion with the lunatic en the Stock Exchange, and wee in the habit of receiving 8004 a year from the lunatic for brokerage. The affidavit of Mr. Gil mail stated that Mcroehoure and Thoinpvon were re fused *rens to the lunatic on at eog a r of their c h ase to Miss Allendale. and of Mr. and Mrs. Yarns'. bat hr denied that Street was never refused access to the lunatic; that when be (Gilinsi9 was called in to attend the lunatic tin his character of a surgeon, he found him living at the Gate hotter, Highgate, where he had been residing for some time, on which he recommended it to Mr. and Mrr. Yarnal, they being the brother send sister of the lunatic, to take posvession of the house in Hortorey-lane. It was not true that the certifi cate fur the' wormed or the kook to Fisher House had been signed by , Gilman . and Vernal, but by Sir George Toth'', who was called in to attend the lunatic by Gilman, rod be signed a certificate for his removal to a licensed house for the purpose of receiving lunatics. Dr. Burroughs, who was sent by Street to visit the lunatic, was of the same opinion as Sir George Tuthll as to the state of his mind, irliliough he said nothing as to the luna tic being a fit object fora lunatic asylum. The LORD CH•NcRLI.oft.—" Sir George Tuthill only says, that the lunatic IS a fit object fur such an asylum, if no other could be found for him." Mr. PHILLIMORt, in continuation, contended that the petition was unnecessary, as proceedings were pending in the Master's office. Mr. HART was shout to reply. The LORD COANsILLOR-..." Part of the prayer is of touter. Let Yarnel turd wife give au act on' by affidavit before the Master of all the property of the lunatic that hits come into their possession since May last. Let Gilman bring into the Master's office all deeds, papers.

Prayer of the Petitions granted in mt. THE PORTSMOUTH CASE. The LORD CHANCRI.I.Oa observed, tint 4r had received copies of the affidavits in opposition to the petition, but lie had not received those in support of it. He wished to know if they had been Mod. If they were, he would wish copies of them to be handed to him, and when he had read them, he would mention a days for hearing the case. Mr. SHSDWELL sitid he knew the affidavits had been prepared, but he could not undertake to say whether they had been filed or not. He would send to his client to ascertain that fact. . the ',wile+, and as he could not contradict the nit. mimes who lied been eartnined, he would not need !evilly occupy the time of the Court. Verdict fur the Plaintiff—Damages, 441. 66. I.IIIIIAN V. WILSON. When this rame was called on, the Went/ant. applied, in person, to put off the trial, on the ground of the absence of a material witness; but the Plaintiff's wlineoses brink all in attendance, and the Defendant's affidavit not being satisfactory, the canoe went on. Mr. Guam sad, this was an action to recover • compensation in damages fur a malicious prosecu tion sod false imprisonment, under the circum stances which lie should state to the Jury, sod which, he was persuaded, were burl) as they would maik their sense of by exemplary damages. The Plaintiff had taken a house in the vicinity of Spa fields, from a moos mooed Norris, but being dissatisfied with it, he gave notice to quit at to Norris, mid placed bills about the swish. bourhoort of the premix, bring to let. 00 the 18th September, 1841. • lodger of Mr. Lit mutt's, named Price, ordered a caravan to the door, arid was shout to remove her goods, when the Defendant came up, and claimed certain ground-rent as due to hien from Norris. He behaved on that occasion iii a most irregular wanner, and put a IMMIX, of working brick-makers into posses sion, under • distress warrant, the broker not being prevent whose oanse was in that warrant, and finally lie committed an outrageoous assault on Mrs. Price. For that assault an action was com menced against him by Mr. Price, and on the day the cause was to have been tried, the recoid was withdrawn by the Plaintiff, on account of the ab sence of so important witness. The Defendant having then learnt the names of all the persons who were tribe called as witnews aga in s t h im , hit u p o n a notable expedient, as lie (Mr. Gurney) supposed, to deter them from proceeding against him in the action for the assault. This device of his was no other than preferring • bill of indictment at the Quarter Sessions for a conspiracy to defraud him of his rent, in which he included not only the Plaits tiff in this case, bat every one of the parties who were present at the transaction of the 18th Sep tember, and had them taken into custody and de tained till they procured bail. And this was seven .months after that transaction had taken place, during all which time he had lain by and slept upon this supposed conspiracy. In the iudict atent he had included persons who had not even kwen each other before the transaction took place.— 'He had included Mr. Dudley, who was the oppo site neighbour to Mr. Leeman, and who had gone over on hearing the cry of " Murder !" from Mrs. Price. He had included Mr. Reynolds. who was the owner of the caravan hired by Mrs. Price to re. move the goods, but who a PO far from being a party to any conspiracy, bud for tome time been confined to his bed from the effects of an accident. He af terwards removed the iudictment into the Court or King's Bench, and when it should have come oil for trial he called no witnesses, and the parties were of course acquitted. For this unfounded charge, for which there was not even a shadow of reason, Mr. Litman now sought to recover a compensation at the hands of the Jury. More oppressive conduct could hardly be imagined than had been pursued by this rich builder against these poor people, and his con duct to-day in seeking to put oil the trial on a futile pretence, was of a piece with every other part of his behaviour. The Learned Counsel then called his witnesses, who fully substantiated the facts stated. No Counsel being instructed for the Defendant, and the Plaintiff', case being closed— The Cum Jurrice summed up the evidence. His Lordship observed, that if the Jury, on the evi dence, were of opinion that there was no cause for the prosecution which the Defendant had instituted against the Plaintiff, then their verdict would be for the Plaintiff, with such temperate (images as they might think proper. The expense of the pro secution was upwards of 1001., but the Jury, in a case like this, need not limit their damages to the expenses actually incurred, but Kite such further sum us they might thick the Plaintiff deserved fur the stalely and trouble to which he had been sub jected. The Jury retired for half an hour, and on their return fused a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, 400/. REYNOLDS B. WILSON. PRICE B. WILSON. These were two similar actions against the same Defendant, arising out of the Lame transaction. In' each the verdict was for the Plaintiff. The Jury in the first case gave damages 1501.; and in the second 501. LADY BRANSCOMB D. BRIDGES AND FLRMING. Mr. GURNEY stated the Plaintiff's case to the Jury. The Defendants were tailors, residing in • Blenheim -street, near Bond-street ; in their house the Plaintiff, who was the widow of the late Sir Jas. Branscuanh, had apartments. She was about to remove, and on her return to town a few days before the quarter day, she was accosted by the Defendant Fleming, who, in a very insolent man lier, demanded his rent; the money was tendered to him, but he refused it, and insisted on putting in a distress, and actually took furniture valued at between 301. and 401. for 101. 10s. the amount of the rent due. It was now for the Jury to say what damages should be paid for such conduct. Mr. Henry White Parsons, stated that be was with Lady Branscomb, on the 9th October, when the Defendant, Fleming, came into the apartment. At first, the conversation was about some fixtures, which he refused to take at the value which Lady Branacomb's broker had fixed on them, and then asked for his rent in a very angry manner. Lady Branscomb was sitting, with the money in her hand, and she said, " Here is your rent, Mr. Fleming."— The money consisted of ten sovereigns, acid ten shillings in silver. Fleming then hallooed out for his and several of the tailors came into the room, and Fleming told them to do their duty.... Mr. Branscomb, ion of the Platontf, wag preseti when the 11111011PY was tendered. Two Brokers were called, who bud Valued the Roods, and they could have given for those which were seized, 25/. lOs.

Mr. Coattitt said, that under the second count of the declaration, he could go tor the damages consequent on the defendants' conduct. In that Court the 101. 10s. was acknowledged to be due for rent, but it was alleged that goods to the value of 301. had been taken.

LAW IN T FELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Lmoot.i's FILIDAY, DICEIIIIIIIIII 6. 0 BOUM If IttErtat AND ROBERT BROUGHTON, IX THR HATTeR OF RALPH FENTUM, A LUNATIC. Mr. HART stated this was the petition of the nephew and niece of she lunatic by her husband, praying that a Mr. Yarmil and his wife might be directed to give an account of all property that had Came into their possession belonging to the lunatic Aisne the 116th of May last, the time the commis. inn issued against the lunatic; end that Mr. Gnomes sod Mr. Yarual should be directed to lodge in the Master's office all deeds, papers, and letters in their possession belonging to the lunatic; and that Mr. Thompson, Mr. Moorehouse, and Mr. Street, should have accents to the lunatic ; and that it should be referred to the Master to in quire what sum had been expended for the mode oance of the lunatic from the 26th of May. The petition stated that the lunatic had been attended by a Mr. James Gilman, a snrgeon, and was allow ed to live at the Gate House Inu, at Highgate, uo der the care of a keeper, although he had a house furnished in Hornsey-lane; that Venial and his wife took possession of the houseand furniture in Hortisey. lane, and Yarnal was a person who had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act in the year 1813 ; that the lunatic less afterwards sent to Fisher House, at Islington, an asylum for lunatic., by virtue of a certificate signed by Yarns! and Gilman. During the time the lunatic was at the Gate House he was permitted to incur I debts. Mr. Moorehouse, Mr. Thompson, and Mr Street, the intimate friends of the lunatic, were refused 11Cer114 to him by the order of Yarns! and Gilman. The petition was supported by affidavits, verifying the fact of Terrorl and his wife having possessed themselves of the house of the lunatic in Hornsey-lone. Yarnal and Gilman had filed an affidavit last night, which was full of abuse of the petitioners, the nephew and niece of the lunatic, and they objected to Moore house and Thompson having access to the lunatic, on the ground that they were connected with the Stock Exchange, where the lunatic had done much busi ness, and their presence would irritate him. The lunatic, the Learned Counsel observed, was not in dangerous state of lunacy, he suffered merely under a delusion of mind that a person of the tissue of Sparks was following him for the purpose of killing him, and was not in that state which would authorize any person to direct that his friends should not have access to him. It was therefore important that his Lordship should make an order, giving them access to the lunatic. The question relative to the Committee of the person of the lunatic, he believed, was in dispute in the Master's Office. Under those circumstances he bad no doubt but his Lordship would grout the prayer of the petition. Mr. WHIT 11•11.11 and Mr. WILLIS followed ou the same aide. Mr. HsaA.D appeared for two of the next of kin of the lunatic, who were ready to submit to soy order his Lordship might think proper to make. Mr. Puict.tmosit, Counsel fur Mr. and Mrs. Yarns!, stated, that although the petition was in the names of the nephew and niece of the lunatic, it was, in fact, the petition of Street and Moore house.. Before they asked for a reference to the Master, they ought to have 'hewn that Yarnal refused to account for the property of the lunatic that had come into his possession,' or that Mr. Gilman had refused to deliver up the deeds.— In fact, the one was ready to stemma, and the other to deliver up the deeds. As to Thompson, Moorehouse. and Street harms seem to the lu natic at all reasonable times, the medical men were the best judges as to who ought to see the lunatic. It appeared by the affidavits of Miss Allendale, the • housekeeper of Fisher House, and two medical men, 4.111. TO al As hie Heuer, The Cour Jorrica thought the action main. tonna'', on the brcond count. The SOLICITOR GENERAL then addressed the Jury for the Defendants, and urged the improba bility of the account given by the first witness, that the Defendants, who were respectable treiteiimen.and whose only object was to get payment of thei► rent, should have chosen to have refused it when offered. was so unaccountable, that at least Ins Learnt •1 Friend (Mr. Gurney) ought to hare corroborated the account by the testimony of young Mr. Brats comb, who was present, according to that tetihees'a account, when the money was tendeted. The Learned Counsel then called two brokers, who bad valued the goods seised at 131. Mr. GURNEY replied. The CHIEI JuITICI, in summing up the evi dence. observed, that the Jury would judge front the evidence whether the distrees was excessive, and taken maliciously with a view to injure the Plaintiff. If they thought it ws, , the next question was the damages. It appeared the Plaintiff had not actu ally sustained much inconvenience, or incurred any very great expense, as none of the goods were sou illy sold.

Bofors the LORD CHIEF JUIVIFICE and Common Juriss. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE commented nylon the evidence, and stated to the Jury his opinion, that the Plaintiff had failed in substantiating his case, and they, without a moment's hesitation, re. turned a verdict for the Defendant. BCRNASCONI V. REECE. Mr. GURNIY stated that the Plaintiffs in this case were eminent plasterers. The present action was brought to recover 514/. 64. for work done for the Defendant, who was well known in Courts of Justice as well as out of them. He had established • Medical Hall in Piccadilly, and was desirous of setting up another iii Somers Town, in partnership with a Mr. Want, who had since become bankrupt. At the house taken by the Defendant, in Claren don-square, the work had been done, and the Plain tiffs had applied for payment to the Defendant as the solvent partner, but be now contended that he was net liable, though be (Mr. Gurney) should prove that he had superi•t2nded the workmen, and actually given orders respecting the work. He (Mr. Gurney) was quite clear he should prove his case, because he had really proved the muse case before ; but as Dr. Reece, above all things, wished to have a receipt on the record for every demand made elan Writ, he trusted the Jury would now gratify his desire. The Learned Counsel then call ed three workmen of the Plaintiffs, who proved having received orders from both Dr. Reece rod Mr. Want. Mrs. Nicholls, the owner of the house in Claren- , don-square, proved that it was taken in conjuoc tiou by those Gentlemen, and she considered them both as her tenants. Henry remain, • carpenter, proved that he had been employed at the house in Clsrendon-square, and had received in payment • hill of exchange ac cepted by Reece and Co. ; and Dr. Reece had or dered the workmen to have some beer given them, which witness was desired by him to include in the bill in order that both parties might be charged equally.
