COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL G. LUNATIC PETITIONS. IN RE DUCHESS OF NORk'OLK. • Mr. SUDDEN applied to his. Lordship for leave to his client, Mr. Seudamore, to have access to the papers in this case lying in the Master's Office. The ground of his application was the circumstance that he had discovered himself to be the heir-at law to her Grace the Duchess of Norfolk. The LORD CHANCELLOR refused permission, and asked why he did not file his bill. Mr. SUGDEN stated that his client intended to file a Bill ; he understood the adverse party designed to remove the papers. The Learned Gentleman wished to know whether on his client's engaging to file his Bill, his Lordship would make an order to prevent the removal. The LORDCHANCELLOR said he would make no such order. The applicant would have time to file his bill before next Sa turday, the next day of hearing lunatic petitions. He must dis miss the petition with costs. LORD PORTSMOUTH. Mr. HART said there were twopetitions in this matter, pray ing that two reeeivers should be appointed, one for the English and one for the Irish estates ; one of the petitions was from Mr. Fellowes. CIDE .1.7 reminded his Lordship that he dismissed theSe petitions on a former occasion. • The Loan CIiANCEIA.OR did not at the moment clearly recollect how he had acted on the entire matter, but was sure he had refused the Irish receiver ; he doubted whether he had jurisdiction. SIR G. P. TURNER. Mr. PEMBERTON presented a petition from Lady Turner, in the matter of this lunacy, and was proceeding to state the subslance of it, when The LORD CHANCELLOR said - he had read the petition, and that he should grant the prayer of it. Mr. PHILLIMORE wished to know from his Lordship on what terms the traverse ordered by his Lordship in the matter should be tried. The order for trial was issued last February it stood in the way of the present petition. Mr. PEMBE . RTON contended, that as the adverse Counsel did not proceed to trial on ,that order,.h a had a right .to the benefit of his Lordship's present order as clearly as if the order for trial had been never made. The LORD CHANCELLOR assented to the Justnpss of Mr. - Pemberton's argument. THE REVENUK No. I.

DUTIES a 514 of of GREA 7' BRITAIN, in the 1824, ..sliezcilig the increase or De- FATAL 'EFFECTS OF FANATICISM. At the Launceston Assizes, on Thursday last, . Emma George, a young woman, 19 years of age, was indicted for the murder of her brother, a child seven years of age, by hanging him with a handkerchief. We briefly. mentioned the circumstances Of this distressing case at the time that it occurred,. which were simply these :—The unhappy young woman had been in the habit of attending the meetings of ignorant method istical Preachers,' from whose fanatical precepts she conceived the notion that it behoved her to avoid the evils of this life by speedy death. Unwilling, however, to commit suicide; she determined upon the horrible expedient of murdering her mother, but afterwards • changed her resolution into that of hanging her infant brother, under the double impression, that whilst she sent his soul to heaven, she should herself be put to death for the commission of that crime. After she had com mitted the horrid deed, she became frantic, seized a large knife, and-would have cut her own.throat, bad she not been prevented by a neighbour .who had just called -in, declaring that she was determined to go to heaven with her brother. The evidence adduced with respect to the practices at the Meeting are too revolting to reason to be. detailed. The prisoner did not wish to say any thing in her defence. Mrs. George, the mother of the girl said, - " My daughter attended ',Methodist Meeting at ftedroth tbr about seven weeks before the death of my boy ; she also attended the Revi val ; I have fetchad her home from - the Revival. I went for her one night, abeut half-past ten o'clock, she having been there from two o'clock in the day. On going to the chapel, I found it extremely crowded. My daughter caught a sight of me, and immediately she lifted up both her arms, as if she was go- I ing to fly to the top of the room, and called on her dear mother and father to pray to the Lord to help them, for that they I .could not see the danger they were.in. I cot her out of . the, meeting as soon as I could, but she hadlost her cloak, bonnet, ' hankereldif, and Pattens, and was extremely disordered in -her dress. She had 'been moving from one part of the meet ' ing to the other, and, in her unbounded zeal, had dropped her clothes, and they were trodden under foot. My . daughter's conduct, after attending the Revival, was quite.different to what.it had usually been. This was about. seven weeks _be-, ' fore the -dreadful act was done. On another occasion , she came home praying in a horrible manner for the conversion of her father and mother. The c ot/ a ae—Explain what you mean by praying in a horri ble manner mean violently and outrageously agitated,— From-the commencement of the Revival.she never missed but one meeting. She .also attended prayer meetings and class sieetings. Before the death of my son, Lapprehended my . daughter would do, me .sotne violence. On the Monday pre ceding, she came house and sat by the fire in a melancholy • way, and said " Mother, I am going out of my raind." spokea few words to pacify her, and she went to bed. The next night she said she was better, but she appeared very low. —On Wednesday night, on coming home, she said to me, iri l se a d ni ti t i e a m t sPitieedshtooulndatitridinekr o m f y in m u o rle le r r ing " mles;aiad, I n she wns s s ai l d r , returned‘ t l oo cl k o . eb A ekt f nl t v e iev r ee s ns h e ann h i a an d h s ia a ( d dt htle ten.rmis, h t o e r w pr oernme prevent e t nw o ti t ih l a ) et e rs ß dh oc e i N n l gi v a a ,a l i , nsa id 7 chief to herself, me, or the family. At the close of the evidence the unhappy young woman, who had throughout the trial been too ill .to pay much attention to what had beempassing, fainted, and was carried into the air in strong convulsions, by five or six men. In the street 'her. distressing screams were heard for nearly a quarter of a hour, befo M re she could again be brought into Court. f Mr. Justice Buitnoutan said there was no question but that the young woman at the bar was the causeof her brother's death, but it would be for the Jury to consider, whether when she committed that act she was in a state of mind eapable of distin guishing right from wrong, and if they should be of opinion that she did it in a moment when the imbecility of- her mind was so great that she could not make that distinction, then the offence did not amount to wilful murder. It would not; how ever, be sufficient to acquit her of that crime, by supposing that she acted under a _momentary religious frenzy that did not totally occasion such defect in her mind, as • to deprive her of all reason. Upon looking at the facts given in evidence, it was almost impossible to conceive that the prisoner could:be other wise than insane when she determined on the murder of. her own brother, as the means of getting to heaven. The Al mighty had expressly declared, that murder and suicide were two of the highest crimes that called for his vengeance; but such- was the delusion this young woman had laboured tin der, that she first murdered her brother and then contemplated self-destruction, conceiving that by- committing these high of fences, she should be securing away to-Heaven. It appeared' that this young female had been in the habit of attending reli gious meetings, as they were called, where the .wildest acid most extravagant excitements were used that could possibly ope.; rate on the minds of the -weak, and lead them from a just sense of the importance and duties of religion. his Lordship knew nothing of the particular sect of persons that had been, spoken of to-day, and God forbid that he should be conceived as wishing to restrain any person from following those religious customs which were most conformable to the conscience, but he did conceive that the general benefit of society should be attended to, and therefore-he could not but consider:that the doctrines and mode of worshiplwhich inculcated the pernicious principles this young woman had acted upon were injurious to society, and ought to be suppressed. He therefore guarded -the pastors of those congregations against continuing in those. practices, as being derogatory to true religion, and dangerous to the safety of the community. His Lordship thought there were many circumstances in- the case which decidedly spewed the girl to have 'been of an / irregular mind when ,she did the act. Her mind, from mistaken impressions, produced by reli gious' excitations, had conceived that she must commit a mur der before she could get to-Heaven, and at one time she had marked out her own mother as the object who was tti be devoted to her phrenzy ; at another time, children she 'had never seen before, were to fall her victim ; and lastly, her brother un happily being in her power, she- murdered him in the same absence of malice, as she would-have done to 'any other in dividual. If .the Jury were of opinion that the child lost. his life while 'she was in a state of insanity, they would return n verdict of Not Guilty on that. ground, and his Majesty's Government -would then protect her till - she was found to he .sufficiently restored to her reason to be returned to her friends.

' . IRISH BURIAL''BILL. • Lord HOLLAND -stated,-tirat a-petition .h ad -been - put' into his hands,, with a request to lay it before ,their Lordships., It related to a bill onthe'stibjeef_ of .Ca.titolie• burials, - which had toine from the otheiqlouse, bilt which he had not yet had the particular opportunity of readin,g. With'the 'proirsitiris of the bill lie was unacquainted , and the persons who had sign ed the petition were.equally. unknown to him. - Under these circumstances, he should , have•wished to postpone presenting this petitivn, in • order that he might previously. have ;lime to inquire into the facts; but as he understood that it was the iPtntion T of the Noble Lord at:the, head Of the Treastiry to move the commitment of the bill that-evening, he was under the necessity of now calling their LoLdships' attention to the subject. As he had said, he had no knowledge of the orrect , • ness of the facts stated by . the petitioners, or of the provisions of-the bill. Be unilerstOod the, obiect of the .0-. fa cilitate the burial of CatholicS in Ireland, whith had in some . . cases experienced interruption ; but •it was rather strange, as the object of the bill was to allay angry - feelings, 'that it should ;be. thought necessary to hurry it • so rapidly through the House. The petitioners.stated, that.they had read the bill, and thanhough in its preamble the principle of toleration• was recognieed, yet its provisions were in a contrary spirit. Here the Noble Lord read the petition, which we understood to be signed by a few persons. The petitioners stated, among other things, thatthe tendency of the provisions would be to produce the collision of different parties and disunion in Ireland, and to increase the animosities which the bill proposed to allay a• and that there had been no interruption to the • burial of Catholics previously to the appointment of Dr. Magee to the see of Dub- - lin. The Noble Lord had observed, that lie had taken this un ustial mode of reading the petition, because, while he wislied.to lay it on the table, he had, on his own part, no Opinion to.give on the subject of the bill.- The Earl of LIVERPOOL' would - not oppose the motion for laying•the petition on the table. .With regard to the bill, their Lordships must be aware that it had received much of the attention of the other House of Parliament, into which it had been introduced in • consequence of some transactions of a dis agreeable nature which had occurred in certain parts of Ireland. T-the bill was brought up from the Commons on Thuriday last, •and had been ordered to be printed. There had, thereforeebeen no undue haste in forwarding the measure. lie certainly had yesterday stated that he was -desirous of having the bill torn initted this night, but lie at the same time intimated that he would postpone the third reading ' to Friday next, when any amendment which might be thought necessary could equally well be proposed . A great many of the objections which had been matte beemacie to the bill were • founded •on - a misunderstanding of - the subject, which would be easily • removed when due consi deration was given to the measure. The Earl or DARNLEY was as anxious as ahy body. could be that ellis'llill should have a good effect in Ireland ; but he wished their. Lordships to attend .to diet part th: the petition - which stated the Provisions to be incompetent te allay the vio lence of parties. According to the Bill, the Roinan Catholic Priest must apply to the rector or vicar of the parish for pets-Ms slots to perform the Roman Catholic service in the.church-yard. 'Now he wished the Noble Earl opposite to consider whether it would not be as well, saving all the rights of the 'Protestant establishment, to provide that the . Catholic Priest should give notice of his intention to bury in the parish church-yard, and that if not prevented. ithin a certain time, gibe interment should be allowed to take place. Thus the Protestant Clergyman would have the power of a veto if he•chose to exercise it. The-Earl of CA.RNA it VON , thought that the clause rela tive to the permission to bury might experience some difficulty in the execution. How was theepplicatio» to be made in cases where there was no resident Minister ? and-where the residence of the Minister might be at the distance of 30 or 40 miles, great inconvenience would be experienced by the parties. lie also objected to the exception against burying•in suppressed mona steries and ahheyS, which had not been employed for interment within the last - ten years, and thought that an agreement for burying might be allowed to be made with the proprietors in such places. The Earl of LIVERPOOL intimated his re;diness • to con sent to amendments calculated to remove the objections' stated by the Noble Earl. If there existed among parties a dispo sition to conciliate, they would soon fall uptin the means.— With regard to the power which the Protestant clergyman had exercised, it was perfectly legal. There - Was no doubt that the jurisdiction of the church-yard belonged to the reefer or or vicar of the parish, and that jurisdiction applied •equally to Protestants of the Church •of• Ireland • and -to Catholics; because, if it were the wish of any party that a Protestant clergyman from :moister parish should perform the burial ser vice, such other Protestant, clergymen must first obtain the Consent of the rector or vicar. ' The Bill Would remove' every difficulty both with respect to Dissenters and eatholies. - " . its to the burial service, the common practice among Roman . Catho lics, he understood, was to have it .performeein a room' where -a small portion it earth was consecrated. They . would - now, upon application, have the opportunity of performing their fu- Tierd service in the parish church-yard. - With regard its the inform petition, he could their Lordships that the reflection it cast on a Right Rev, Prelate was most - unfounded. That Rt. Rev. Prelate was residing at Learoingtori in Warwickshirerwhen the transactions:took- place to which the petition alluded;- and knew nothing of them. 'As to the provision for askihg -permis sion of the parish minister, he considered it necessary. - Their Lordship's must either legislate so as tp meet all - cases and cir cumstances, .or they mast 'have 'a 'discretion somewhere. It certainly was not likely that that 'discretion could be altused, when the. object of the Bill which contained it was so 'clearly defined in the 'pr . earnble. of the - very clause -by which it was given. - Aftchstating that the Ministers of the Church Of Ire loafri the e iA cannot egis t a a t t I ' 1 r p e r e n s l e a n n t be permitted to have the easel - tient 'of burialhaccordirtg to the 'permit any other. to be substituted, it• proceeds' thus sa- 4 ` To the end. thereof, that all classes of his Majesty's subject's may rites of the Several religiOns profcted by them—be it enacted," &c. No - preemble could More strongly express the intention th di e ll t e in n e se he w h it e h .d ' r t e h e e .d. chu T rci lii i s 5 , e r however, ie was not all. It was Provided by other clause, that if •'Prmis iiori be Withheld; the officiating _Minister ef the ChurdlacrE Ire land must declare the clause of liis refus - al'iii wiling.' A copy Of this 'docume.rif must be forthwith. laid before his diocesan, by Whdm it 'Must be - immediately trahsraitted to the:Lord Lieutenant. It was not for. him to Say what some obstinate . elergyinan Might notile ; but after such an .admonition as that - in the Preamble he • lidiead, followed up by such' a prchyision 'as he hail described, it *as not likely that any capricious objec tion would be made. . . The Earl of LIMERICK observed, that the Catholics of Ireland - had a strong 'desire to have burial-places in suppressed convents ; • and if the existing law was altered, he had no doubt that 'Arrangements would be made for the purpose with the pro prietors. . Lord HOLLAND was convincedly what the .Nohlel Earl had stated, that the object of the Bill was conciliatory ; but still he tho'ight it ought not to be-hurried forward with so much haste. - • Lood KING understood that a request for.permission e tp per form the Roman Catholic service was to be male to the clergy_ gyman of the parish. Why not insert e s e, o o n s l e e i i t yh oo f i o i r sh tli c i i s e I rg li i t h e a n d . the words '"avhiethheis hereby required to- grant ?"

The Earl of DARNLEY said a few words in explanation, and in favour of the principle of the measure. . The' Earl of HA RROWBY spoke at considerable length in support of the Bill, the benefits of' which, he observed; were not 'confined to Cotholics, but extended -to all descriptions of ptesehters. ' There had been • instances of 'permission - to at teed a 'funeral in • a parish church-yard - having been refesed to PresbYterian Clergymen. Such refusal - would be linwcnted •by this Bill ; ' for, -as the intention of parliament was - so clearly expressed; the given in the clause which had been 'referred - to was synonymous-with obligation. He - thought it improper to delay proceeding with the Bill, • because its post-
