Mr. WINGFIRLD—if your Lordship pleases, in a cause in which Henry Raleigh Knieht, Charles Raleigh Knight, an infant, by his father, the said Henry Raleigh Knight, Charles Fuller, and Jane his wife, and Frances Elizabeth Knight, are the 'plaintiffs, and Henry Charles Knight is the de fendant-, I am to move your Lofaddy that the plaintiffs may be at liberty to examine the Right Honourable Henry Lord Aliddleton, 'on fresh in terrogatories to be exhibited in this cause, touch ing the birth, baptism, and christening, main tenance and education, of the above-named de leiulnnt ; and may also be at liberty to examine Dr. Thynne, Dr. Ileslop, and William Hinds, respecting the said matters, the plaintiffs having, since the close of the former examination of wit nesses in this cause, discovered several material facts, to which they are advised rite testimony of the said persons is very material, and withont such examination plaintiffs are in danger of being deprived of their testimony, and that plaintiffs may have one or more commission or commis sions if necessary, for the purposes aforesaid. My Lord, this Bill is filed by the plaintiff, Ge neral Knight, against this defendant, under the will of the late Earl of Catherlough. General Knight would, it; the event of the death of Iris elder lowlier, Mr. Knight, without issoe node, he tenant for life. Ilis rem, the infant, would be the first tenant do tail of the extensive estates of which that Nobleman died possessed. The defendant is alleged to Ire the illegitimate son of his brother, an,! this Bill is filed for the purpose of pet - petnatine- testitm.ny to the illegitimacy of this infant. Tire lid' was filed stone !inn. sito e, and interrogeteries have beets exhPliteil, a Coln inissiou issued, and that has been returned. This application is made to your Lordship on a discovery of fresh matter, and I will triad to your Lordship the affidavit made in this matter by Henry Raleigh Knight. lie says,--e---" That since the former examination of witnesses in this cause, he hath dieeovered that there one seveitil material facts as to rite birth, baptism, eloisten ing, maiwenance, and education of the above named defendant, to which he is informed, and belieses, that the‘testimony of Hefty Lord Mid (!leton of Hertford-sireet, and Dr. Tliyone of Berners-street, Oxford -street, and Dr. Ilealop of Nottingbatn4lace, New-roatl, and IVilliam Holds of prances-stieet. Tottenham-court -load, and clic Hon. Lucy Elizabeth Pullman, is very material for the plaintiffs ; and to which the plaintiffs, from ignorance of stein facts, were unable ro ob tain the testimony of the said several persons now proposed 'o he examined at the former examina tion, and whose testim :try to such matters will be in danger of being lost to the said plaintiffs, unless the plaintitis are now peimitted to examine the said several witnesses thereto. That he hath not, nor bath any of the other plaintiffs in th;s cause, or his or inch solieitors or agents, as this deponent has hero informed, and believes, ever hitherto seen, heard, or been informed of th e de positions, or any of them, or of the witnesses already examined in this cause." Tlitti my Lord, there is the affidatit of Mr. John .Fielder, and George Williams, his clerk ; and they say,—" the institution and pro. gress of the above-mentioned cause, these depo nents alone have been concerned in the conduct ing and management thereof; and that they have not, nor bath either of them ever seen, heard, or been informed of the depositions of the several witnesses already examined in this cause, or any of !heat, or any part of such deposit ions." Mr. RoßeeTs (Solicitni).--Str. Agar is Counsel in this, Mr. WINGFIFI.O.---MV I have finished what I have to say. I had no disposition to blin d on without' Alr. Agar bring ht.re. I was nut awnre Mr. Agar was in it. Loap CHANCELLOR.—YOLI Must either con clude it, or wait for Mr. Agar ; but 1 %% ill not pt.rthit it to btr heard over again. Mr. WINGFIELD —Mr. Willis is with me, most probably Mr. Agar will come in before Mr. Willis shall have closed. Afr. IVILLts.—My Lord, before I enter upon this delicate and pinto' duty, I have to com plain of the menaces which have been held ont by toy Lord Middleton. About a twelvetnooth ago, the subject of the present suit came before the Vice Chancellor, tinder argument on a demurrer to a bill to perpetuate the testimony of witnesses tiled by other parties. In that case, in the dis charge of my duty to my client, I alluded to my Lord Middleton as having been implicated in this transaction—a transaction perhaps the most ne farious that ever came before a Court of Justice —an attempt to supplant the legitimate children of the parties interested troder this entail, by in truding opon Mr Knight and his family this ille gitimate child. The report of this proceeding I have in a newspaper ; of this ut%vspAper repoit Lord Middleton complains, and on later than last Tlirsdriy,on returning to my chambi r, , 1 lontid tine cards of Lord Middleton and his Solieiror,Mr Now ell, ft man of high respectability, who had expressed a wish to see ate . 1 called in consequence in Hert ford -street on Lord Mithiletou, to ask what his hosiness was, and he there declared, in the pre sence of several gentlemen, that he called to give toe express notice, that if I used his name in way lof disapproved, lie wool(' take the law hint his own [mall, I telt that I could not per sookilly notice stack conduct. His Lordship made use of language which, as a geollenotn, should have :,now o how to treat, hut, as a bar lister, I felt that I could only lay it It.:toitt your Lordship. 1 forbear to say mole ; but the pi 0- ceeniogs, as detailed in this paper, ate, 1 tolerably Correct. 1 should he vriy sorry if, i n th e warmth of my feelings, I have said any t hi ng svlsich was intproper, or it, leli a WHO of 11011011 r, 1 should have. now expressed mystilt iot i:ropeFly.

LORD CHANCOLLOR.—YOII have had this infor. mation from somebody or Whet', and that person may know the whole of what has been hitherto given in evidence; I think, therefore, I ought at least to have an affidavit from the person who has given you that information, :hat he knows nothibe: of what has been proved under the Commis sion, AIr.WINGFIET.D.—My Lord, I had some anxiety to Irani what ought to be the proper affidavit ar.• companying applications of this description, and wished certainly to give your Lordship all the in-, formation the Court should receive, or ever does receive, on applications of this sort, and I have searched, I confess, vet y much in' vain for that pur pose ; of course I could not alter the matetials its my hand. I had rather thought it might perhaps be delicate, unless it was suggested by your Lord ship otherwise, that as little as possible of that which was proposed to be proved should be stated. LORD CIIkNCELLOP.—I do not put that to you ; but suppose that which is pet feetly a supposable cose-1 do not Mean to say that is the case, but it is a possihle case, that the very information you have received may have been received from a per son acting - as Commissioner tinder tlieC‘unntii slow); I might therefore to have an tiffidnvir whit the person Wits trout whom you ha ve , teeeived your iniormation (not telling me what the- infor mation %vat), tritli an additional affidavit, that that person knows nothing of what has been proved under the Cornmisi on „ ill r , WINGFIELD.—Your Lordship shall have an nffidavit upon those two points.
