LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 23. WINSON V. LORD ANSON AND OTHERS! The plaintiff in this case was the owner of some real property, which he sold to a person named Mosely, who, after having mortgaged it, became-bankrupt. His assignees sold the estate to Laid Anson, rho paid them a part of the purchase money, and retained the remainder for the purpose of satisfying the mortgages upon the estate. The plaintiff had sold the estate to Mosely on a contract, by which the latter bound himself to pay the purchase money to the plaintiff's representatives, after his death, in the. mean time paying_ interest to the vendor on the whole of the purchase money. Under these circumstances the plaintiff had filed the present bill; contending that he - had a lien on the estate for the amount of the purchase-money due on the origi_nal sale to Mosely. Mr. HEALD and Mr. WHEATLEY appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. BELL and Mr. Bic KERSTAFF for the defendants. The VICE-CttaiscELLott said, this easels quite new in its circumstances, and, I believe, I may say,.that such an instance of a sale of property never b efore appeared in a Court of Equity. Ettthe contract of agreement for the sale of this estate to Mr. osely, the purchase money was not to be paid until after the death of the vendor ( who thought proper to provide in this manner a fund fur his children), but in the mean time he was to receive an annual sum, as interest on this purchase money. The contract therefore stated this as a sale, in consideration of a future payment ; but the conveyance which was executed to Mosely stated it as a sale, in consideration of a present re ceipt of the purchase money. The statement of the convey ance does not appear to be true , in fact, as the plaintiff ac: cepted a bond at the time of the sale, for the payment of pre sent interest on the purchase money, which was not to be paid till after his death. The question under these circumstances is, whether the vendor has any lien on the estate so as to render it undisposable until the time limited for the pay ment of the purchase money? As this case has never before occurred, I must refer to principles alone for its decision.— Nothing is so satisfactory to the Court as to determine cases on principles which can be applied to all cases of a similar nature, varied only by the particular circumstances of each. What then, are the principles applicable to the circumstances which are stated in this particular case? Wherever a contract is en. tered into for the sale of an estate at a particular price, the estate passes at law by the mere conveyance of it to the pur chaser, while in equity it will not pass except on the payment ofth e e r, sti stipulated price. At the time of executing' this convey ance, the plaintiff took as a security for payment, a personal contract of the vendee. In this Court a personal security is not alone sufficient to discharge the equitable claim of the ven der, but is merely considered as a collateral security, and if the equity originally existed, it would make no difference whether the payment were to be made at the end of two days or two years. The question, therefore, now is, whether the conveyance having passed the estate at law, it has not also passed it in equity ? There is no doubt that a vendor may sell an estate in this manlier, and may reserve to himself a lien on the estate, so as to prevent the exercise of a power of disposi tion by the vendee, and he may reserve such a lien, after taking a personal security of the vendee for the payment of the purchase money, but he cannot do so, unless he expresses his reservation of such a claim on the 'face of the deeds of conveyance. No purchaser can be allowed in a 'Court of Equity to contradict the deeds under which he has effected the purchase, nor is this attempted by the purchaser here. The vendor is the person who now comes to contradict his deeds, and who says, that though the money appears on the face of the conveyanc e - , to have been actually received, yen, in fact, it lcensains tabe paid .at a future time. Now, if he could give evidence of this, the vendee would be permitted to shew the circumstances under which this agreement was made; and I should consider, thin in this case the payment has actually beeninade by agreement be tween the parties. I am; therefore, of opinion, that there is no substantial difference between the expression o f the consi deration on the face of the deed of conveyance, and on the agreement, and that the vendor has no equity, nor any rig ht of lien on the estate for the payment of the - money ow re. - mairting.due.—The plaintiff's bill is therefore ilism* isied . - - Lon!) MILSINOTOUX v.:EARL POIITMORE. This was a bill filed by, the Noble Plaintifragainst Lord Mut grave, Mr. Oreathead, and others,,trustees of LOrd Portmore, praying a reference to the Master to take an account of the monies in the hands of the trustee", and to have it declared what balence were due from theM. It appeared that • Mr. Brooks, the solicitor of Earl Portmere, was employed also by the trus tees, and had absconded with a large sum of Money belonging to them. The trustees hid been made 'answerable for the monies so taken. A reference had been made to the Master, and a report had been made, declaring the sum of 5001. to be due from the trustees. The only question now remaining to be decided Was with reference to costs. file trustees to pay the costs to the plaintiff, but refused to grant them to Lo r d Port more. The trustees, who . had, in fact, caused the suit by their negligence and improper confidence in Mr. Brooks, could do no otherwise than pay the costs. His Honour also directed an inquiry, whether the trustees in, the trust transactions stated in the bill—viz., the sale of the estate, and the receipt of the pur chase-money—did not, by the recommendation of Lord POrt more, appoint Mr. Brooks as their Solicitor., ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CROYDON, TUESDAY, Jut i ,Y 22. • CROWN SIDE. Thomas Furrage was indicted for assaulting Elizabeth Lud. gate, on the King's highway, at Croydon, on the 2 4 th April, putting her in fear, and stealing from her a basket, containing some trifling articles of wearing-apparel. The prisoner, upon the arraignment, pleaded guilty, after being repeatedly urged to take the chance of a trial. It appear ed, that since the robbery, the prosecutrix had died, as was supposed, in consequence of the fright which the attack upon her had occasioned. Mr. Serjeant ONsLow, after looking into the depositions, was of opinion that there were no circumstances of violence which would warrant him in passing the sentence of death ; and as there was strong reason to believe that the prisoner had com mitted the robbery under the pressure of want, he should re commend a commutation of his punishment from death to twelve months imprisonment and hard labour in the house of correction. hayfield Hobbs was Indicted for a similar offence in robbing Joanna Townley Scott, at Lambeth, on the Bth of July, and stealing from her person a reticule, containing a sovereign and other monies. This prisoner also pletuied guilty. Judgment of death was recorded, but. the Learned Judge said he would recommend a commutation of the sentence to transportation for life, there being no circumstances of violence disclosed upon the 'd epositions. CA3IBRIDGE„-TuzsDaY, JULY 22. Chief Justice ABBOTT and Mr. Sergeant 130SANQUET arrived here yesterday evening. They this morning attended divine service in St. Mary's Church. They then proceeded to dispatch the business of the Assizes. The former presides in the Civil, the latter in the Criminal Court. Noth in g of an y public interest occurred during the day. The calendar is un. commonly , light. There are but lb prisoners. for trial; and none of their offences are of an aggravated nature. The bill against Mr. Jephson has been found by the Grand Jury. His trial, which excites much interest bete, comes on too - none w. LEIWORTIIY V. VANDER3IVELER. Mr. STORKES stated this to be an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Leiworthy, to recover 110/. for expellees paid by the plaintiff for the burial of the defendan t 's father. The defend ant Was the nephew of the plaintiff's wife, and at his particular request his father, who died at Aston, in this county, was con veyed to St. Alban's, and there buried. The deceased had died insolvent; and to prevent unnecessary expence, and in com pliance with a Wish expressed by him Aston, his death-bed, it was or i g inally intended to bury him at but this intention was yielded to the desire of the defendant to have his father bu ried at St. Alban's, where he had a family vault, and with suit able pomp, he u ndertaking to defray the expendincurred- The funeral had been conducted cis a very expensive scale : it -amounted to the sum above-stated, and which had been paid to the respective claimants by the Rev. Mr. Leiworthy. This account the defendant now refused to discharge, pleading that he was not liable. In support of this statement the following witnesses were called : Miss Eve Vandermueler, sister of -the defendant, who de posed that her fathr died on the 17th of ..September, at Aston. His effects were barely Sufficient to pay his debts. Iler father was to have been buried at Aston ; he was, however, buried at St. Alban's; in consequence of her brother desiring it, and agreeing to pay the expenses. Her brother directed. Mr. lieiworthy to invite different persons, and gave also other .di rections. _ Cross-examined by Mr. Coo PEit.---Tiad not objected to any of these arrangeMents. AR the expences of the funeral have been paid by Mr. Leiworthy. [Two papers were here put Into thii witness's hands, and s to was asked , whether she knew the hand-writing.] The &it, she said, was Mr. Lei worthy's writing ; the account contained in the second paper was the hand-writing of witness ; the letter annexed to the account was in Leiworthy's hand-writing. lier father had lived many years at St. Alban's. Several of his ancestors were buried in a family vault there. Never heard her father ex preis where he would wish to be buried. Was executrix to her father's will, which she had. proved. :Mr. Story, at St. Alban's, was her father's agent, and used to collect his rents. Was not ever in expectation of obtaining a large sum from the will of her father. Did not now expect to receive any money. William Haddington was clerk to Mr. Thrower,,an under taker, residing in this town. They had buried the defendant's father, for which he had received of slr. Leiworthy 78/. 6s. 2d., being the amount of Mr. Thrower's bill ter the funeral. Mei Pryor proved having furnished the hearse, for which be had been paid 391.25. by Mr. Leiw9rtliy. Mr. COOPER, for the defendant. observed, that the principal witness to sustain this cause was Miss Vandermueler, but the papers which he should produce in evidence would prove, that Mr. Leiworthy had not paid towards the funeral one farthing out of his own pocket. It was true that Mr. Leiworthy had paid the bills for the funeral, which had been proved in evi dence, but it was not true that he had paid them out of his own pocket. They would be surprised to hear that he had paid them only as agent to the executrix ; and that these very amounts she, in her statement rendered, takes credit for, as paid out of the estate. This he should prove; and yet the plaintiff had the audacity to come into this court, and say he had paid them out of his own pocket. The papers were put in and read. — The first was an account of Mr. Story's, in which he had debited himself for the monies he had received of the deceased's tenants, and credited himself for what he had paid at Sc. Alban's on account of the funeral. A receipt for the balance was appended in the hand-writing of the plaintiff; as agent to the executrix. The second contained a statement, in the hand-Writing of Miss Vandermueler, of the monies she had paid as the executrix of her father. Among other items were 78/. Os. 2d. paid to Mr. Thrower, and 39/. 2a. paid to Mr. Pryor; both on account of the funeral. After Mr. STORKES had been heard in reply, the Judge summed up the evidence. The Jury, without hesitation, returned their verdict for the defendant. YORK, illoxnay t Jtar 21. CRIMINAL INFORMATION.--THE KING V. NOWELX.• This was a Criminal Information filed against the defendant, upon the affidavit of Mr. Wilson, for having written him (Mr. Wilson) a malicious letter, tending to a breach of the peace, by provoking him to fight a duel: Mr. SCARLETT stated the case for the prosecution. The Learned Gentleman said that the parties in this cause were near nzighbotirs, living_ in the same part of the West Riding of the 'County of York, and in the intercourse of society had become acquainted with each other. The defendant was a gentleman, who having served in India in a military capacity, and acquired a considerable fortilbe there, returned to. England, to make it his 'future residence.;-- From his letters it would appear that he not only brought back a fortune from India, but also a considerable portion of that East' India independence which was not congenial to the feel ings of renglistiglen, and with regard to which in this countrj, the lei of die UM cast round persons and property protec tion Which made punishment the consequence of an attack upon either. MO% ilson WAS fornierlyanAttorney Of Southwark, and having acquired considerable ptoperty, became a Magistrate of the \Vest Riding. The defendant having been niuch attached to the stnnsements of the field, amongst the rest, Shooting, aP, , plied forpermissiOin to shoot on ti certain manor belonging, ,its he understood, to the. Duke of Detonshire.. fro m some acci dental circumstance, this application was unsuccessful, and he applied a second time, in another quarter, for the privilege of shooting on the manor of Orassington, and was equally un successful.' Mr. Wilson had no other view th an d ie wish to facilitate the object of the defendant in obtaining some manor td i;ratify lull desire for Shooting, and i n furtherance ut . that object, in consequence of his previous diaappointments, reconi mended him to apply to Mr. Heber, Member for Oxford, who, jointly with another gentleman, Pos sesse d t h e manor o f Hun t ington,, fn the vicinity of that city. After some time, Mr. Wilson had been given to understand by a Mr. Robinson, a re. lation of the defendant, that the defendant had abandoned and given up the idea of applying to Mr. Heber, in con sequence of a letter written to Win by a lady to that effect.-- Having for some time intended to apply for a similar per. Mission for himself,,he seized upon the opportunity of the defendant's abandoning his intention to apply--applied for himself and Succeeded. ThiS c i rcumstance le to a correspond ence' which founded ' the ground work of the criminal informa tion being tiled. After Settle arj;uments upon the righti pos. sessed by Lords Of' Manors, the Learned Gentleman concluded by saying, that be. would eave the Jury to form their opinion upon the subject, by the.;character of the letters, which they would hear read. 111 r. Scittlett, in the course of his statement, alluded to several letters written by the defendant, chiefly re lating to some amicable arrangements about manors, but the two which will be seen below, ferns the basis of the present in. formation. Mr. Wilson, who filed the information, was then called anti examined—He proved the receipt of the letters and the hand: writing of the defendant. Ile positively denied having seen the slightest provocation given to the d e f en d an t. On the contrary, he always showed every dispositi on , knowing the defendant was fond of shooting, to afford him every facility his grounds Promised the defendant that he would permission to shoot in one of his manors; is positive he never asked Mr. Heber for the de. apply yd foral l o h t. n t 1- 0 1 e Alr. neverll eber for potation of a manor for the defendant, but always promised the fullest permission to enjoy sport on any manor of his. So sur prised was he at receiving the defendant's first, letter upon the subject, that he immediately wrote him an answer, disclaiming all knowledge of the transaction, and expressing his surprise at the defendant's conduct. The following letters were then put in and read : Linton, August 13, 113 4 22 Sta—lf, a fter your conduct in the matter of the manor of Hamlin ton; if, after commencing, apparently in feelings of the kindest nature, in coonniseration almost for the disappoint.ment which I had met with in regard to the manor of ComstOn, ending in treachery, in your obtaining for yourself that which you had spontaneously suggested us a resource in my dis tress . and without Solicitation or dictation on ray part, undertaken to obtain for me what I could without such interference have obtained for myself. I repeat, if, after conduct such as this, it would be possible for me to be astonished at any von. duct of `gout_,_ the com munication made to me Yes t er d ay b y . your tenant Daggett, whose word is truth, who tame up to me when I was shooting on Mr. Walker's allotment, to inform me that he was appointed by you to watch it, and prev e n t my shoot• ing there, would really beyond measure have eitrpri st a me ._ (The letter proceeded then to describe some other arrange ments respecting this manor, and went on to say)—After this I 'was compelled to believe of you what I had Often heard, and, in my mind, as often had resisted, that you were not to be de pended upon; the manor, however, was too inconsiderable, if I could suppress my feelings at such conduct, to quarrel about, and I 'went no farther in the matter than with great modera tion to expostulate with you on the occasion. Now the thing can no longer stand still—now, w h en , in addition, among Gen tlemen, to the flagrant instance of Hartlinkton, in the very teeth, too, of your note bL fore it.---.(Th4 writer. then dilates upon other treatthent he has endured front Mr. 'Wrlson, of w hi c h he strongly complains.) Linton, August 15,1622. Sir—On my return home yesterday evening, I tiara your note of yesterday, in reply to my letter of the 13th. Your note, Sir, when I recollect who the author ia, I confess to you, does not appear to me in the l east extraordin ary , and its ter. mination, after telling a broad and direct untruth . in , . respect to Ilartlington manor, " that you never bad . an Idea of asking it for me," arcs entirely evading any thing like a n answer to my charges. In respect to your conduct on A ppletre wick Moor, one is pleased to observe is, however,, unex pectedly marked by tru th and sincerity ; I most i nipl i citly believe you ; I do not d es i r e either any further acqiiaint ance or correspondence. y oo have not, however, done with me yet-it it be a ny 'surprise that you byre so long escaped with impunity, the natural 'consequence of the mean, the base acts, of which I k no w you have been guilty, do not for a_ moment (latter yoUrself that you are to escape frontme; for the commission of offences of comparative in nocenee, without full atonement. YOu must, Sir, now at .my bidding, procure for me, or relinquish in my favour, that which before you, under,the mask of friendship, without • a necessity on my part, undertook t 6 procure fur me, but which you, never timeless procured for yourself...(lle then imperatively pointed out the deputati6n of Ilartlington, which he demanded, with, a prohibition against the plaintilfand faniily from shooting there.) The letter then went on thus :-1 most sincerely recommend the prompt and strict obserVance of both these conditions"; for by Heavens, amt.' speak it With that candour and s i ncer i ty which you mug know mark the charaeter of a soldier, which ypu, probablye know mark my character; and: if you fail in either, I will personally insult you, wherever I meet you, at whatever distance of time you, etc. Mr. Wilson was .cross-examined at great length by Mr. 13nouaitam, with the view of making hint admit, that he had said to Mrs. Atkinfion and Robinson, female relatives of the defendant, that on thepretence of going to apply for the depu tation of the manor to Mr. Heber, far Mr. Nowell, he had ap plied for himself and succeeded. The constant answer of the witness was, that as he, did not recollect he would not swear that he had not said so. lie positively disclaimed the thought of having.ever given any orders to his gamekeeper t. 6 prevent Mr. Nowell Elam shooting upon this manor. He gave general orders, but with p.O intention that they should be enforced Mr. Bitoootra at addressed the Jury for the defendant.— He commenced by toying that he lamented any cause of diffir ence should have arisen between 'two such respectable men; but whatever was the conduct of Wilson it was clear that the defendant would never haie written such letters as those which were read, unless he conceived that he had received strong ground of provocation: It was evident that Mr. Nowell thought he had been grossly ill‘treated by Mr. Wilson's apply ing for the deputation of a manor, apparently . for hint (Mr. Nowell), but really for himself, as the fact of its afterwards becoming his, proved, The Learned Gentleman ..then cont. mented upon the cross-examination of Mr. Wilson, which, he remarked, was a singular example of the frailty of his me mory, as to a fact upon which he ought to have been prepar ed to give a distinct and positive answer. Had he ventured to deny that he had told Mrs. Robinson or Mrs. Atkinson; that in going to apply for the manor for Mr. Heber, he had actually applied for himself, he knew that these 'ladies were in Court, and could give evidence that would contradict him. lie there fore escaped from a contradiction by the expressive words, " I don't recollect," which resounded in his (Mr. B.'S) ears like those which lie had heard from a foreigner, and in a foreign tongue, about three years ago (alluding, we suppo se , to . t h e Nor. tni ricordo of Majocci on the Queen's trial.) This strange testimony of Mr. Wilson reminded him of Mr. Fox's illus.: tration of the same mode of answering, when used elsewhere by a great personage, and Upon an important occ as io n ( it ll u d., ing we suppose to Lord Melville's). This great personage when asked on the occasion alluded to, whether he had not applied specific sums of money which he had in his hands for a purpose, to his Private use, answered that " he could not re collect having'done so." Upon this Mr. Fox remarked, that if a man had been asked whether or not he had seen John a Kith' five years ago he might very safely. and without any impeach ment of his testimony say, " I don't reColleet;' but if the qUestion were," did John a Knox ever kick you through the door for attempting to pick his pockets,".What would they, think of the. man who said he had no recollection of the transaction Now he did not mean to apply this as en illttattation of any thing said by Mr. Wilson ; but still lie must say that he ex hibited some frailty.and a seive-like memory, a sort et instru ment which covered a certain number of things, and omitted another number which occurred at another time, tint all of which °net to be equally .Inapresaed on his memory. The , Learned Gentlettian then eipatiated with great ability upon the, singtqar metnory of Mr. Wilson, with reference to the trans ' action with the defendant; and, asked the Jury if they could believe that Mr. -NoWell had written the letters which they had heard read, without being sttonglY impressed with the in fluence of ill treatment from Mr. Wilson., He called upon - then!, bet/ire they pronounced a verdict of " guilty" upon. the defendant, not to forget the evanescent, memory exhibited by. Mr. Wilson in his cross:examination. • • , . 111 r. Jtlstice BAYi.EY in charging the Jury, said, that the simple question for their consideration was, whether the defend ant had written the letters, because his having received provo cation was no legal justification for writing threatening letters: The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. It was once or twice intimated by Mr. Justice Bayley to Mr. Brougham, that it might be better to submit the matter to set tlement., Mr. Brougham said he could not accede to his Lord ship's suggestion, as his client was not in town. POLICE. INTELLIGENCE. Mantuonorott.STßEET;---A Gentleman of the name Of Stanley Goddard, was yesterday brought to this Office from St. James's watch-heuse, charged with riot and assault, under the following circumstances Mrs. Penelope Goddard, who had been the with)* of the late Mr, Steel, who established the Navy List known by dint name, stated, that after the death of her husband, Mr. Steel, who left her in possession of a large independence amounting to many thousands, she had the misfortune to marry the present defendant, but she bad not long takeit.this step before she had cause to repent it, as he sqOandered away the whole of her property and then deserted her, leaving her totally destitute of all means of subsistence, with three young children to provide for. After a considerable period had elapsed, during which she maintained herself and children on the bounty of Mends who knew her in better days, she accidentally discovered the residence of Mr. Goddard, and made a pathetic appeal to him to afford some relief to his distressed family. Re pelled in an insulting Manner, and unable longer to procure food for her poor children, she was under the cruel necessity of placing two of them in Mary-le Bonne and one in St. Giles s workhouse, where they are at this moment supported by those parishes, the, officers ot which have long ,been in vain in search of Mr. Goddard, to compel hint to make some provision for their relief. On Tuesday evening, about six o'clock, as Mrs. Goddart was passing through Fleet -street, she met her hus band,. but made no attempt to address him. lie, however, was not so tbrbeering towards her, for not content with calling her by opprobrious epithets, he collected a large crowd about her, and employed a parcel of butchers' boys and others, from Fleet-market, to pursue her along Bridge-street, hooting after her. Very fortunately for Mrs. Goddard, an old Gentleman, of the name of Fitzgerald, met her near the Bridge in this distressing aituation, and determined at once to rescue her from the fury of the excited mob. lie accordingly, with great promptitude hurried her into ty boat, in which he accompanied her, and rowed off with all speed towards West minster. . Mr. Go4dard, determined to pursue, as promptly 'manned another bola, and, accompanied by three of his asso ciates, followed the course of Mr. Fitzgerald's boat, calling nut the whole way along the river to the different watermen and others to stop them. This conduct threw the whole river into commotion, and the expedition was attended with as great a concourse of bo a t s as, if it was a boat race. Mr. IltZgerald, however, ,kept firmly to his purpose of insuring Mrs. Goddard'a safety (of whom it appeared he knew nothing, but that she was a female in dintress) and inspiring his watermen with dame of his own ardour and gallantry, kept a head of the enemy, and landed his charge in safety at. 'Whitehall-sta , rS. Knowing that his pursuers, who - were sufficiently nutneroui to overpower him, must be soon at his heels, he took the immediate precaution of depoiiting Mrs. Goddard in the suttling-houae, 411, the Horse Guards, under the cared some Soldiers, while be himself pro. cured a constable in sufficient time to take Mr. Goddard, and lodge him in St. James' watchhouae,where he remained all night. Mt. Fitzgerald, wile is about 70 years of age, corroborated the statement of Mrs. Goddard, as to the chace on the river, &c. Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, called on Mr. GOddard to ac count for his extraordinary conduct. He launched out into violent language towards his wife, whom he represented to be a common' street-walker. The Magistrate reproved him for this line of defence; and said that as he had no better to offer, he should find ood bail to answer tbr his conduct. The defendant said he sho uld procure no bail, and tie was committed to prison. The parish officers Whohad warrants against him were in the office, and very happy to see him there.

Should these " advantages," however, not be rendered clear to the comprehen sion of the leading Brazilians, it is presurned that the secret in- struction of the Commissioners will. permit them to descend from such lofty pretensions, a nd th a t their endeavours then be di rected to obtain an acknowledgment of the sovereignty ofJohn VI., as the common head of both countries, but with a sepa rate Legislature for Brazil.
