SIR J. PHILTAMORE AND MR. JAMES. TO THE EDITOR. MR. EDITOR.—Sir J. PHILLIMORE, on his ar rival in the Thetis frigate, from Mexico, a few days ago, was shewn the account Mr. JAmEs had published respecting the action of his Majesty's ships .Eurotas and Clarincie. On Friday last Sir J. Yu ',Limo RE called on Mr. JA MES, accompanied by a friend, for the purpose of contradicting the false statements con tained in the Book, as well as finding out his authority for them. They were let into, the house by a servant, and invited to sit down by Mr. JAMES, which they declined ; but Sir J. PHIL LIMORE gave his name and address, and proceeded to point out the gross errors which occurred in the publication. Mr. JAMES replied, that he was not to be bullied by Naval Offi cers, and subsequently told Sir J. PHILLIMORF. he was a liar, which provocation was resented by several blows from his walking-stick ; upon which Mr. JAMES repeated his abuse, and called for constables. But Sir J. P., so far from running away, (as has been stated), walked quietly to the carriage, which was waiting at the end of the street, and even offered to take Mr. JAMES with him ; such are the facts of this case. Now, Sir, as to the statements in the work : —ls Mr. .1 ;:t Es slanderously and maliciously to hand down to posterity state ments affecting the characters of zealous, active, and brave Officers, which, in this instance, can and will be proved to be false, both by Sir J. PHILLIMORE'S superiors in command, as well as inferior officers immediately under him ? He slander ously tells the world that the crew of the Eurotas had not been taught a few practical rules of gunnery, which is as direct a falsehood as ever was printed. Again, his comparison of force between the two ships was wrong. Having said sufficient in this stage of the affair, I have the honour to be, &c. —, Commander R. N. (Morning Post.)

VICE-tHANCELLOR'S COURT, ..MAncH ( From the Ccmbridge Chronicle, April 2, 1824.) Mr. GEORGE lIENRY STORIE, LL. B. was cited befbre the VICEXHAXCELLon and Heads of Colleges, to answer a charge pref erre d by the. Reverend Richard Duffield, R.D. for making use of gross and abusive language towards him in Messrs. Deigfiton's shop, on the 10th of March. The charge against Ir. Stogie having been read, Mr. Duf field said it would be necessary for him, in the first place, to show that the words uttered by the defendant were used transactions which had taken place , . mali ciously ; and he would therefore men i t , i e o t n we r n m i e ,i o m f s t i h l e f previous an : oie defendant. It appeared from this statement, that Mr. Stone entered at St. John's College, as undergraduate, in the October term of 1817, at which time Mr. Duffield was Dean of the College. The defendant being very irregular in his attend ance at chapel, Mr. Duffield had frequently occasion to pu nish him for. such neglect, and in May Ib2o convened him before tile Master. Mr. Stork was in the habit of coming into chapel at the conclusion of the service, wishing that t i ys hail. to be considered as a regular attendance, which induced Mr. Duffield to mention the , conduct of the defendant to the Master again • and after that time Mr. Storie I J I II n — 's e T e 1 1 s e e d d e t f o en t p l a a n y t 11 a l f r te . r, 13 va u n ili i, eld w a t n h t a r e t s o p e f e t a v d e tt e s a t i o r, t college, and Mr. Duffield had at firSt objected. to sign his bene departure lir o n nt u il ffi F ei e d b r i u m a c r i y, s 0: L8 10 2 1 0 n , when he entered a , , s h o on Wednesday evening, the 10th Of March, seen Mr. Stogie from that tim e until he met him in Messrs. day he had taken his degree, and the defendant decessit, which d e la t y l ef! in l i l w D l e ii i c g h lit w ol a is s ' the was then in an intoxicated state. On that occasion, the defen dant came up to the place where Mr. Duffield was Speaking to language, which he applied to Mr. Duffield , and made use of some most abusive who soon after left .akEohuigffi Duffield did df l i o o t ri sonic e :hive A la' terms,waiting w I t i i i i c r h ee , d h a o y w s: the lice. shopJ oh n ; D an e t i l g o h n ton h , i dun. and out the defendant continued his a ev b e i r s , e, M n r i expecting to receive an apology for this insult, Mr. Duffield mentioned the circumstance to the Vice-Chancellor. On the Monday after he had waited on the Vice-Chancellor," Mr. Duf field received a note from the defendant, stating that he under stood he had made use of several abusive words towards Mr. • Duffield in Messrs. Deightons'- shop, when he was in a state of intoxication, for which he expressed his regret ; but with respect to the more offensive expressions, which had been ascribed to him, he said he had never uttered them--and he begged Mr. Duffield to belie: N he was as incapable of using those expressions as he (Mr. D.) was of deserving them ; and hoped he would not consider' that his character required that they should be refuted. Mr. Duffield waited on the Vice- Chancellor with this note on the saiste evening, and on 'Mors- . day following another apology from tile solicitor of the defend-' ant was sent, requesting him not to proceed further in the case. To this note Mr. Duffield did not reply, the case being already before the Vice-Chancellor. Mr. John Deighton, jun. stated, that Mr. Duffield was in their shop on the evening of the 10th of March about seven o'clock, and was speaking to him about the price of some books, when two gentlemen came in. One of them he afterwards found was ,Mr. Stone, and the other his brother. Mr. gtori e came up to the place where Mr. Duffield and witness were standing, and addressed himself to him (Mr. Deighton) mak ing use of several terms of abuse, which he applied to 'Mr. Dtiffild le'h oeir. d . appeared quite intoxicated at the time, and h requested Mr. Stone to go into Duffield. The the further shop, and remonstrated with him on the impropriety of his language. The defendant, however, continued using several abusive and offensive expressions towards Mr. Duffield, who soon after went out. The expressions did not seem to mean any thing but abuse. There were two other gentlemen in the shop at the time. The words used by Mr..Storie were not spoken unusually loud, but loud enough for any one in the shop to hear. Mr. Gaye and Mr. Fearon, undergraduates, who were in, Messrs. Deightons' shop on the evening in question, corro borated the evidence given by Mr. Duffield and Mr. J. Deigh ton, and stated that Mr. Stone had made use of a most offen. sive expression as Mr. Duffield was leaving the shop. It was also stated by Mr. Fearon, that the defendant, accompanied by his brother and another gentleman, called upon him a few days after the transaction took place, and said he understood that he (Mr. Fearon) was present, and could swear to the language he used. He told the defendant that he was there, and tgat he was so confident that the defendant had used the expressions with which he was charged, that if put on his oath ho must swear to them. Mr. Stofie said to him, " the shortest way for yoy, and the pleasantest way for me, would be to say, that what I said was so detached and incoherent, that you could not swear to the expressions used."--Mr. Fearon, in his cross-examina tion by the defendant, admitted that he had said, he might be mistaken, but so certain was he as to the expressions used, that he could not hesitate to swear to them. Mr. DUFFIELD said, that in consequence of some imputa tions which had been thrown out in the cross-examination of Mr. Gaye, with respect to his conduct when chaplain in the navy, he should not feel satisfied unless the Court would allow him to call Mr. Ryder, son of Lord Harrowby, who was in the same ship with him nearly the whole time he was in the navy, and who had voluntarily come forward to speak to his uniform excellent conduct in that service. Mr. STORIE begged to deny that he had made any such im putations on the character of Mr. Duffield, nor did he ever imagine it possible that any such imputations could attach to the character of that Gentleman. The COURT felt it would be paying too much respect to what had been said by the defendant, to allow Mr. Duffield to call any one to refute it. They considered that the only ten dency which the questions put by the defendant to the witnesses could have, was to aggravate his offence. Mr. STorat: being called upon for his defence, applied for an adjournment of the Court, to allow him time to prepare it. He had only had the charges delivered to him 24 hours, part of which time had been consumed in negociations, and it had been impossible for him to obtain evidence. He complained that he had been denied the assistance of Counsel, and said, that the 47th statute, under which he .waS charged, applied only to undergraduates, and did not extend to him. As he most unequivocally denied having u.ed the ticptessions ascribed to him, Mr. Duffield could not, he said, suffer by the delay. The CounT overruled the objection,-ob serv i ng that any de lay mightprov.e injurious to the character of Mr. Duffield, and as they saw no reason for it Mr. Stone must' proceed with his defence. Mr. Storie then called his brother, Mr. Thomas Chalmers Storie, who stated, that he went with the defendant into Messrs. shop'on the evening in question. He corroborated the principal part of the, testimony of the former witnesses, thoughhe denied having heard his brother make use of the par ticular offensive expressions with which he was charged; The words, he said, did not appear to be uttered with a view to in jure Mr. Duffield's character, but were merely tile accidental words mishi t ; from the'effeets of intoxication. —Thi s witness said he was quite sober at the time, and must have heard every expression his brother made use of. Two other witnesses were called, whose evidence did not bear particularly upon the efise, and after Mr. S:orie had closed his defence, the Court adjourned to Wednesday. On Wednesday the Court assenibled.at 10 o'clock, when the ; VICE-CHANCELLOR addressed Mr. Storie, observing that he had been charged with having used-gross and abusive language towards the Rev. Riehard atifield, and With haviN. malicious ly defamed his chikracter - ; these charges the Court were of opi nion- had been fully p rov ed, a n d t h ere f or e sentenced the de fendant to be sus p en d e d f rom hi s degree . . . ,for the space of one year.. This case excited extreme interest, and we believe that it was to the surprise and regret of every member of the University that a much more severe and adequate ..punishment was not awarded.—lt is understood, however, that after mature consi deration of the University statutes, it was as severe as the Court was able to inflict. It is but justice to state that the defendant repeatedly in Court not only denied having used the most offensive of the expressions with. which he was charged, but also declared that he neither had .heard of nor believed that there was any imPu tatien on the character of Mr. Duffield. LAW ,INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF. CHANCERY, Amur. 3. DEL/,OT V. DETASTET. The arguments in this CRSe were resumed to day. The LORD CHANCEI,LOR said he would look into the papers, and give his opinion upon it on Tuesday. GARRICIC V. CAMDEN. Mr. HART moved, that Mrs. Payne, who was entitled to en Bth share of the property, should be allowed to send in a solici tor to be present at the proceedings in the Master's office, upon the sale of Mr. Garriokis villa. The motion was opened by the SOLICIT 011.-CE NE RAL and Mr. PEPYS; on the ground that there was no necessity for a measure which was calculated to cast a reflection on the Mas ter, and on Mr. Carr, the solicitor, who had proposed becom ing a purchaser. The-property, it appeared, had been advertised several times, and no person would bid more than 4,0001. for it. The price fixed upon it by valuation was 4,800/. ; and 11r. Carr was al lowed by the Court to propose himsrlf as the purchaser, on con dition that he first lodged 1,000/. in the hands of the Account ant-General ; which, however, (it was stated,) he had not yet done. The CHANCELLOR granted the motion, observing, that he would never allow a solicitor in a cause to become a purchaser of the property, without directing that another solicitor be ap pointed to act adversely to him. In saying this, however, he did not mean to cast imputation upon anybody. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Arun 3. EX-PARTE SHAW AND OTHERS, IN RE HOWARD AND GIBBS. In this case an action had l)cen commenced against the as signees by Durwood, the messenger, for the amount of his bill. The defendants said a deficiency had occurred in the properly - entrusted to Burwootl, and claimed a set-off. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he should direct an inquiry to ascertain whether he was chargeable by the estate for the de ficiency-of the property entrusted to his care, and at the same tune he should express his opinion, that if he was chargeable with any loss, it must form! part of a set-offin the action he had commenced against the assignees. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GLOUCESTER ASSIZES, APRIL a THE STAFFORD BARONY. ' SPECIAL JURY.—Tnr KING v. COOKE AND OTHERS. Mr. TALFORD opened the pleadings, detailing the diiKrent counts of the indictment; seven in number. Mr. TAUNTON stated the case. He thought it one in which the defendants would not have called witnesses; but under standing, from what had passed, that it was their intention to do so he should he compelled to pursue a course very different from that which he had originally proposed. The charge against the defendants was, in fact, that of having put their heads toge ther, and devised means of obtaining money under false pre tences. Sir G. Jerningham was the party against whom these malpractices had been ,devised, and to whose injury they were brought into action. The defendant Cooke was a Solicitor, and might be supposed to know that the law was sufficient to esta blish a legal right. The meerest school-boy knew that an undisputed possession of more than fifty years of property, no matter how originally acquired, gave a good and legal claim to such property in the absence of title deeds on the part of those claiming the rightful possession. Not upon this point, however, did his client mean to found his claim to the valuable possessions which the defendants had as illegally attempted to get in their hands. Sir George was a gentleman of most an cient family, of lineage the most direct, and of connections the most respectable and honourable. Such were the titles of the plaintiff, and it would ere long be seen of what - nature those intended to be opposed to them really were. In order, how ever, to meet the misrepresentations which , had been most industriously made, he should enter into some description of the lineal descent of Sir George Jerningham, as a more historical statement, as recorded in Acts of Parliament, ana enrolled in the archives of the .High Court of Chancery. Sir George is lineally descended from the Duke of Bucking ham, who was attainted and beheaded in the reign of Henry the Eight. On his death, and after the attainder, to blood of the Barons Stafford was restored to Henry, one of the sons of the attainted Dille. In the reign of Charles 11. a great grand-daughter of this Henry married a Sir William' Howard, -who was then created Baron Stafford. This Nobleman was con victed of treason on the perjury of Titus Oates,' and was be headed 1680. He however could not make his heirs forfeit rights which they inherited from his mother, as Baroness Stafford, in whom, and in whose heirs, the fee-simple of the estate and title were undeniably vested. - From this Baroness, and from one of her heirs who was created Earl of Stafford, the present Sir George Jerningham was lineally descended. The Learned Counsel then stated the nature of an applica tion made by Mr. James Cooke to Sir George Jerningham in November, 1822. This application however was of course un successful, and the conspiracy to defraud wasthen first embodied, James Stamp Sutton Cooke forthwith gave a dinner at his lodg ings or house at Somers Town ; one of his guests, named Crank, he appointed his. Secretary, receiving 50/. for such. appointment. On the 30th of December, they met at Stafford, -and associating themselves with one Smith, a Sheriff's officer, went .on the same day to Stafford Castle, which was not then completed. This Castle was shewn to strangers ; and when .the party arrived, Smith told the old woman who lived in and ex hibited the Castle that the two strangers with him wanted to see the Castle ; they were admitted, and then it was that the defendant Cooke declared his brother the heir of the estate, and took possession ; he then endeavoured to bribe the old woman, who, however, instead of obeying the mandate of her new Lord, Richard, Baron StaffOrd, applied instanter to Mr. Seckerson, the steward of Sir George, and who, on his ar rival at the Castle, finding Mr. Crank, the Secretary of the new Baron, left in possession,' forthwith ejected him. The party immediately set to work. They first enlisted- a Stafford schoolmaster of the name of Jenkinson, who was the other de fendant to this indictment. The next Step was to publish no tices addressed to the tenants of Sir George, Mr. James Cooke having-taken his abode in thelown. There, in all -due pomp, l g eg en al ts h or Baron to n and apparently o pp resse d w i t h b us i ness , lie received such of the tenan tsTofhe first r rs G t e n o o rg ti e c ' e as se h r i v s ed noticeswas d ha a d ted in o d n uc t e l d ie to 3i p , t a h y a . e visit.

Jerningham or Cooke, lei s a s a any other per s on th a n to Richard Sutton • of Staffo r d, or to his bailiff; steward, or agent. On the I s t January the second notice was da t e d. It was in eff e ct a eau. Coi tion to the tenants,. thatlf they did not pay their, rents and ivy rears to Baron Richard they would be distrained on. It offered !. a. reduction of one half the rents , for the ensuing seven years;and pledged the new Baron not to, ejectany one of his ten-auto from his occupancy. The first thing the defendant .dick;Tto, get the money, was resorting to acts of trespass and violence of .a description. such as had never been seen since the days of the Civil Wars. Men were. employed to cut down timber on the estate. To quiet the scruples of these men an axe .was drawn round the bottom of the trunk of such as were to be cut down, under. the persuasion that this ceremony gaye a legal title to the cutting down. Many were the trees that fell in pursuance of this syste m o f devastation, and even sold to those who had no objection to advance money upon such secu rity. Sir George, however, obtained.an injunction agrainstahe further cutting down of trees, this plan waslor the time aban doned. James Sutton Cooke also appointed game-keepers to the manors of Sir G. Jerningham:— For these acts of trees pass and fraud the present indictment •was .preferred. On the 15th of January Baron Richard visited his barony; 'not, how. ever, with all his baronial hocoars,not in his baronial splendour, but under the appellation of simple Mr. Brown ; and as a mean of further disguise, he put up at a humble public-house, drank ale and smoked tobacco at night, and drank rum and milk in the MNPlThip,'„ This disguise was certainly effectual, for the host Odle Inn never for a single instant dreamt that had he been honoured by the patronage and support of so n o bl e a gue s t as B aron Richard. Stafford. He shortly after repeated his visit; again smoked tobacco, and again drank ale ; but still his Lord s hip thought proper to travel incagnifo. On the 13th • Jan. a third notice was served upon the tenantry, fixing ,tha Ifith January for the payment of rents, at the George Inn, for which receipts were to be given by James Stamp Sutton- Cooke. Jenkinson was stationed at the room door in which the steward of Sir George was sitting to receive the rents, at the Swan Inn, for - the purpose of using such misrepresentations as should induce the tenants to repair to the George Inn to pay their rents to the agent of Baron Richard. The result was, that James Stamp Sutton Cooke, as the Solicitor, and yo ung C ran k as t h e agent, received from some few intimidated tenants the amount of 101. for rent, and he believed a whole hatful of halfpence. What was the next step ? A distress for rent was put into the house of Mr. Seckerson, Sir George's agent. whilst he was attending his professional duties at the Statierd Quarter Ses sions ; constables were called in, and the agents of Cooke ex pelled. A second distress was put in the house in the after noon, by tour men forcing themselves up stairs, and intruding upon the privacy of Mrs. S. and some female visitors of that lady, in . a manner he should not then describe. James Stamp Sutton Cooke next applied to an old maiden lady named Mary Peake, for the purpose of endeavouring to induce her to acknowledge his brother as her landlord. . For this purpose he told her that Sir George had given up posses sion to his brother, who only was kept out of his right by Mr. Seckerson. He further said, that the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the King himself, had. ackoowledg ed the rights and titles of his Noble brother. With this maiden lady, however, he was unsuccessful in every particu lar. Under pretences, equally false however, he obtained the suns of eight pounds from a man named Rogers and 171. 10s. from another named Dudley. To these men he produced a letter, which he said he had received from Sir George, although he had never received any letter of any description whatever from that Baronet. The time having arrived when the Noble Lord was to make his formal en try into Statiiird, the btli March, it took place with all due display of ribands. First appeared a hired London carriage ; on one of the pannels were painted the arms of the Statibrd family, on the dickey-box sat Baron Richard and the Hon. James Stamp Sutton Cooke, inside sat Mr. Miles, the first who had as yet appeared, tag-rag and bobtail followed the carriage, the horses were unyoked, and that which is usually done on such occasions was done by the mob of the day. Speeches were also made, and as Staflbrd is famous for its ale, that potent beverage was plentifully distributed. A dinner was also given, at which speeches were again made, and the false pretensions previously made by the Hon. J. Cooke were re peated by Baron Richard. The next act of the farce, or comedy, was the holding of the Courts Leet and Courts Ba ron, preceded of course by formal notices in the usual tech nical form of words. These were signed " John Russell Miles, Chief Steward." On the day fixed the Courts were duly held—a Mr. Ward, acting as bailiff, with a wand in his hand duly painted and emblazoned, and John Riissell Miles, officiating as chief steward. Mr. Seckerson remonstrated, and warned the defendants of the illegality of their proceedings; but his remonstrances and warnings were unheeded, -and the Courts were held with much form and ceremony. The Learned Counsel, after stating the nature of his evidence, observed that the conduct of the defendant was unexampled in the annals of imposture. He concluded by informing the Jury that they could not find, on the present occasion, a verdict against Mr. Richard Cooke or Mr. Miles; that it was not necessary he should prove Mr. James Cooke to have conspired% with Mr. Jenkinson to defraud Sir George Jerningham, as Lordship, would inform them that, if the former was proved to have frau dulently conspired with either his brother Richard or with Miles, he would be equally liable to their verdict against him as if he had been proved to have conspired with. Jenkinson, although neither of the other two defendants appeared to this indictment. . Miles, etamteedntth; a a t n il d lr t . ha ß t i t e i llart ii C ng oo ,s ke il l e ta n d ch r heaaddelddlohwisedpe7ie one of the defendants, was out of the country.) Mr. James Stamp Sutton Cooke stated to the Court, that as one of the defendants of this indictment, it was his intention to avail himself of his right as an Englishman to conduct his own cause. He also suggested the propriety of the witnesses on each side being ordered to withdraw. plea. ag (eitn wa : sb His LORDSHIP—You are entitled to the claim you have made, Sir. Witnesses were then examined at great length, who detailed the circumstances mentioned in the Learned Counsel's speech. His Lordship charged the Jury, that there was not a doubt but that the acts charge amounted to a conspiracy in point of law, nor was it necessary that a previous meeting for the pur pose of conspiracy should be proved. No matter with which of the other defendants. Cooke had been proved to have conspired, whether with his brother Jenkinson, or Miles, it it was proved with respect to either, although two of the three were not now on their trial, it would be quite sufficient to establish the alle gations on the record. With respect to - Jenkin son h e cou ld not think the evidence had p rove d any conspiracy against him. With respect to Cooke the case was entirely different. His Lorpship said he had taken 26 full folios of notes this day, and if the Jury had any, doubt on the subject ; he was certainly bound, late as it was, to go through the evidence at large. He was perfectly ready to do so. Several Jurors said they were quite satisfied, and there was no necessity. for his Lordship to do so. His LoitDsuip thought this the most outrageous case that had ever came before him. lie called upon tile Jury to recol lect that we were living 'in a country governed by law, and that if arbitrary acts, such as those proved against Cooke, were to be tolerated, there was no saying what property would or would not be safe from the operations of persons similarly disposed. He thought that the act of conspiracy was not fully proved as to Miles, but that it was so with the brother. The Jury, against ury,alt Cooke er five and minutes acquitteddeer jk a e t o ion ilis r o e n ti . irned a verdict of YORKSHIRE ASSIZES, APRIL Z.
