Misers have, at vartouii times, died and' left an overstocked wardrobe, but George at one time, could vie with many—the presents which he received from differentgandemen were carefully laid past;and it is said - that lately some hundred pieces ,of clothkug t of all description s , were consigned to the Hanes ,' having commenced to be rather disa greea bl e , as t h e l ur ki ng bodes of animation, &c. ; but this was done while he lay unwell, for his careful habits would no• allow a rag to be touched. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Arousr 17. LOTTERY, PRIZE. GERRARD versus LAWLESS. It will be recollected that in this case the plaintifihad come into the Court of Chancery for an injunction to restrain the de fendant from receiving the 16th of a' prize of 20, 0 00 1 . in the Lottery. The plaintiff had h e ld one hilt o f the 16th and the defendant the other half. Th e d e f en d ant h a d gone to the plaintiff on the morning after the prize was actually drawn, but before that fact was known to the plaintiff. After some con venation upon • the subject they agreed to toss up whether the plaintiff should buy the defendant's or the defendant the plain tiff's share. The toss-up gave the plaintiff's share to the de defendant. The Lord Chancellor had suggested an issue, as the must likely mode of preventing the prize becoming a blank in the Court of Equity. Mr. Hon NE, for the plaintiff, said he understood the terms of the issue to be, " whether Lawless knew at the time of the toss-up that the ticket had be drawn prize." The Lonn. CHANcEt.tott-41*_panls "toss -up" may not app.*r veil decent in an JIMA time would perhaps be a fitter limit. Air. Hon doubted whether they could agree upon the time. The Loan CHANCELLOR—The real object of an issue, and the point upon which you must wish to have the decision of a Court of Law, is, whether there was fraud on the part of I giw less—that is, whether at the time of the tossing up he was as ignorant of the ticket having been drawn a prize as the plain tiff' was. Mr. HonNE —Yes, my Lord ; but the tossing up is really the transaction involving the fraud, and transferring the prize from the plaintiff to the defendant. Mr. lIEALD, for the defendant, thought there could be no controversy as to the time. My client has a great deal of money withheld from him, to which the plaintiff makes no claim.— What is most important, and mast desirable for my client, is a speedy decision of the question. Mr. HORNE obtained permission to consider the force of the Issue, and to mention it to-morrow morning. If it should not be mentioned, the issue was agreed to be, whether there was fraud on the part of the defendant, by knowing at the time of tossing up that the ticket was drawn a prize. EXPARTE GIBSON, IX ILE PATIENCE WOOD, A LEXATIC. 11r. Arian stated, that this was the Petition of the Corn. mittee, by whose advice the patient had been placed in the care and custody of her sister and brother-in-law, Thomas and Judith Troughton, against whom he now alleged various instances of abuse and ill-treatment towards his charge ; among other things, that he found her at one of those visits in a state of insufficient clothing: that she was debarred from air and exercise, anti had been deprived of the attendance of the ser vant who had accompanied her at her own request when she quitted Brooke-house Asylum, at Clapton, in 1819 ' • and lastly, that on his last visit they had not only refused to let him see her, but had put him and his surety in charge of. the constable of C.arshalton. Mr. HEALD denied the whole of the allegations, and hoped that the Court would make this petitiOn an example, by sen tencing the petitioner to pay his cams; for certainly a more vexatious and wasteful management of his trust, no commit tee could be guilty of. The patient had lost her reason on the death of her husband, and one of the questions put by him on visiting her was, " would she like to walk out and see the tomb of her husband ?" Aa to the discharge of her attendant, It took place in consequence of the lunatic herself persisting to exclude her, being ever since attended by her own niece, and apparently with much more satisfaction. The story of the scanty clothing had no better foundation. The lunatic was fantastic in her dress, and chose to wear a dress ing-gown over all her other vestments. On the day observed upon, she was perfectly dressed; but she happened to wear a gown with what was called a low body ; the IlAnnel wrap per over it happened to be unpinned ; a corner of it fell down, and exposed her neck, left perhaps too bare by the sort of dress which she thtti ha 4 on. The petitiOner must have beat perfectly coevlrocet.thestVie-Wia 'well treated; ter ho had. west scandalously neglected his duty; Cu. from 181% when .s he was removed At his ropiest to her present •atintle, till July in last year, he had made no complaint or remon strance whatsoever. The Loan CHANTerr.r.on thought that the time elapsed since the removal of the lunatic from Brook-house till now, Was proof that the petitioner did not consider that she was ill treated, and he Kaw nothing in the affidavits to induce him to grant the immediate order for the removal prayed by him. lie would, however, direct a porson properly qua lified to visit her, and report if any thing was really want ing to her health and comfort; upon which the Court would ascertain if there existed any reason for interposing its autho rity, and act accordingly. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Ara. 17. (13,:firre the Master of the Rolle.) CONTEMPT OF COURT. IN Tim NATTER OF RAWDAL. r. James How ar d 11 a 3 n l d r a . l B , I L E x ci c nt l i : n i l i i i t o t v e t ti d ttohatthtehceudsetorednydomf defendant, Serjeant at Arms of the Court, for contemptuous disobedience of the orders of the Court. _ _ Mr. Rom , EL, for the defendant, asked whether notice of this motion had been served cti the defendant. Mr. SPENCE answered in the affirmative. HOOPEL denied that his client had been served with notice. It was extraordinary that a man should be committed to the Serjeant without any previous knowledge of such a process. Mr. SPENCE repeated his assertion of the service of the notice ; he held in his hand an affidavit alleging the fact. Mr. HOUPEL still denied that the defendant had received personal notice. Mr. SPENCE stated that the affidavit alleged personal ser vice on the defendant at his place near Hatton-garden. The circumstances were these :—The Court had issued an order requiring the defendant to put in an answer to the excel). tions and amendments of the plaintiff's original bill be fore the 6th of May last. The defendant did put in his answer to the amendments at the proper time, but omit ted Ming an answer to the exceptions.—This omission was in itself a disobedience of the orders of the Court.— However, the Court having been applied to, granted an indulgence of further time for that object to the defendant, and made an order on the 28th of June requiring him to put in his answer to the exceptions before the 12th of August., under the penalty Of subjecting himself to the custody of the Serjeant-at- Arma as on a writ of rebellion. 'Th.e.l2th of August . arrived, .yet the defendant had not Sled WI answer—had disobeyed the orders of the Court:--and incurred the consequences. Mr. Sp enc e therefore submitted that the order for committal to the Serjeiht should go against the defendant. .MrAttitiPEr., for the defendant, stated that his client ltad 'complied with the more material parts of the order, namely, those relative to the transfer of stock ; he trusted that his Lord.' hip:would extend the prescribed time a little farther for the bbedidifeenf the order. SPENcE replied—Time enough had already been grant , etttoprep are an answev the_case was a most gr oss instance Of delay ; the process of the Court were not enforced it would beCome *ionic than useless. He expected tile order as a matter of tottrsv; but would not object to a suspension of its execution for any time that may appear reasonable to his Lordship. Mr. RouPEL asked the suspension of a month. The MasTzn OF THE BOLLS would grant three weeks. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. LEWES, AUGUST 17. The Assizes for this county commenced here to.day, before Mr. Baron GRAHAM on the Crown side, and Mr. Justice BURROI/011 on the civil. Their Lordships dined :yeaterday at the Earl of Chichester's, by whom an elegant entertainment wawgiven, as well to the Learned Judges, as to several leaders of the circuit. CROWN SIDE. • TOE XING v. THOMAS MILLS. -The prisoner had been committed to take his trial,Unger the 57th George 111., for feloniously - and unlawfully assaulting, with other persons unknown, near Circkmere• ikon, In -the. parish of Dean, in order to aid and assist in the illegal running of uncustomed goods, and also for haVing'wounded William Williamson, a seaman of the Preventive Service. . The King's Serjeant (Orrst.ow) now moved to postpone the trial until the next Assizes, on an affidavit that Williamson was so dangerously ill as to be unable to attend the Assizes to give evidence in support of the indictment, and also that another material and necessary witness was unavoidably absent. Mr. ANDREWS, for the prisoner, endeavoured to resist the application, and requested time to answer the affidavit, but Mr. Baron GRAHAM said this was an unusual course, and as he was bound to presume that the affidavit produced was founded in truth, he had no alternative but to postpone the trial; according to the exigencies of further justice.—The trial was postponed accordingly. Robert Bonnell was convicted of wilful and corrupiperjury in support of an information against a gentleman, named Mr. Luke Upperton, for purchasing game contrary to the statute of 5 Anne, and was sentenced to 1. months' imprisonment in the common gaol. EXETER, MONDAY, Afro. 16. CRIM. CON. TIBBS versus LAKE. This case was called on at the suggestion of the Counsel, who said that the facts were of a particular nature. All ladies were requested to retire. Mr. Serjeant VEIL stated, that it was an action to recover compensation inalamages for the loss sustained by the plaintiff from the defendant, in consequence . of criminal. conversation with his wife. After mentioning the nature of the case which he had to submit to the Jury, he need not state that it was one which involved an injury of the deepest kind which one man could inflict on another. What could one man do to another which was calculated to entail a greater share of misery upon him, than to find that he must forfeit for ever the society of her whom he had selected to be the sharer of his joys and sorrows in this life, who was the dearest object of his affections, and the centre where all his hopes of happiness were united ; and that he must not only lose the greatest source of felicity, but that he must also become the object of the ridicule and reproaches of those to whom his misfortune was communicated ? The parties in this case did not move in an elevated rank in society. Theplain tiff, for whom he had the honour to appear, would be found, he believed, to have conducted himself d uring the period of his mar riage with all the tenderness and care which the relation of' hus. band called upon him to bestow on his wife. His circumstances were easy, arising from the effect of his own industry, and the respect which an honest and diligent discharge of the duties of his employment enabled him to acquire. He filled the office of fore- ' man to a commercial house of the first respectability in Exeter, the house of Messrs. Wilcox and Co. The business which he had to attend to in that capacity, was performed by him with so much attention and skill, to obtain for him the greatest credit and the permanent confidence of his employers. [The statement was here interrupted by a consultation between the opposing Counsel, with a view to an amicable adjustment, hut the Learned Serjeant proceeded.] He felt extreme pain at being tinder the necessity of detailing the circumstances of such cases as the present. They were calculated to excite disgust and pity in the minds of those who possessed the smallest por tion of sympathy for the afflictions, or of indignation for the de pravity of their fellow creatures. But, unfortunately, the ne cessity of exposure became imperative—his client must sit down under his injuries in uncomplaining silence, or appeal to the justice of his country, through the judgment of an honest and upright Jury. In the outset of this case, he was ready to admit that the conduct adopted by the injured party towards his wife and the defendant, was matter of' the greatest import ance for the consideration of a Jury, as calculated to affect, in a j material way, his claim to compensation. If it was seen that the plaintiff was in the least degree accessory, whether by cri minally conniving at his shame, or negligently permitting the repetition of occasional familiarity, then it would be just to say that a man, against whom an imputation of such folly or cor ruption could be properly brought, was not entitled to the con sideration of the Jury. In the present case no such misconduct could be ascribed to his client. The history which he had to detail to the Jury was a singular one in many of its circumstances —it was painful, and would chew the defendant in a lightwhich was little consistent with the character of a man of honour.— He should be able to satisfy the Jury that this defendant deli. berately planned the wicked scheme which was to tersuinate its ; the dqtruction of the peace and comfort of the pl a intiff' fo r e ver . However painful the details, and how ever anxious to avo id t h e i t n i z a ir s y h , e hr ia l t riu b st o p o r re oe s e t e a tf et w d, iti w t the ! ; I sre s d t a l n n c a e s house Theof respectability in that city. He had early formed an attach ment to the daughter of Mr. Home, the lady who since became his wife—an attachment which, niche had afterwards proved, was entirely reciprocal. In 1818 they were married, and from that time forward they lived in a state of happiness, which proved to each other the* propriety 'of the choice they had male. They were then respectively of the ages of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years, a time of life when it was not likely that parties would commit themselves irrevocably upon hasty and he should sa ti s f y t h em b y witnesses who had the best improvident ground s .

The defendant was a man about four of five years older than the lady, and he was very sorry to be obliged to add, that he was a married man. The latter words of the Learned Serjeant seemed to have carried the fear of exposure to its crisis amongst some of the parties ; for an individual who was sitting near the table, and who hung with an expression of die most anxious interest on the words of the Learned Counsel, made an instantaneous communication to Mr. Serjeant Wilde, the Counsel for the defendant, who forthwith announced it to Mr. Serjeant Pell. A consultation took place between attornies and clients; which ended in a statement by Mr. Serjeant Pell, that the parties agreed to a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, SO/. The ver dict was accordingly returned. CRIMINAL SIDE. Isaac liter was indicted for highway robbery on the person of Betty Hoare, a young girl, servant to 3lr. Nicks, and steal ing from her a haslet and some fruit. The prosecutrix stated that she was sent out by her master on the evening of the 24th July, between ni ne an d ten o ' c l oc k , to take some fruit to a neighbour. On her way she met the prisoner, who attempted in a violent w a y to ki ss h er . Sh e would not permit him, and in consequence of her resistance he struck her a severe blow, which stunned her for the instant.— He then seized the basket or sieve and flung them over the hetlgtw She was very much frightened, and cried out murder, when The prisoner ran away. As soon as she recovered, she rose up and Walked towards Exmouth, and on her way thither she met Mr. Marshall. Mr. Charles Marshall stated, that on the night ip question he .met the witness. He had previously heard the cry of " murder," and very soon after he saw the prisoner. Ile asked him where the cry of " murder" was. The prisoner said he did not know ; but witness suspecting from his running, and endeavouring to pass on, that he was the person who committed the mischief, if any had been done, he knocked him down. The prisoner got up and attempted to escape, but witness knocked him down a second time, and also a third time. Two men came up then, who told the prisoner to escape, and he got off: Witnesi waited a few minutes, when the prosecutrix and Mr.. Nicks came up. They then pursued the prisoner, and succeeded in taking h im, 31i. Nicks stated, that he sent the girl out with the fruit on the night in question. and that shortly after she went out, he heard a cry of " murder." He ran into the road, and found her with,the last witness, whom he assisted in takin g t h e pri soner. The Jury consulted for n few minutes, When a verdict of Guilty was returned by the Foreman. Mr. Baron Gannow addressed the prisoner, and said that, but for a formal error in the indictment, he might have been obliged to pass sentence of death on him, and undoubtedly would have left him as a tit object for esecution. A man, who could- brutally strike a helpless and unoffending girl, and rob her wantonly of her `master's property; 'cotild not obtain any remission of the, punishment awarded the law. The sen tence of the CeUrt therefore was, that he be transported for seven years. Scarcely had this sentence been pronounced when one of the Jnry turned round to the Bench and said, "11.1 y Lord, we wete not agreed." Mr. Baron GARBOW said, that the Foreman had distinctly returned ai verdict of ",Guilty," and he was not aWttre that any 'Of the J ury had expressed their disapprobation, 'though they have heard the verdict. Nothing, however, could jits ,tify.the Foreman iri returning a verdict; unless he had satisfac torily ascertained the unanimity of his fellows. His Lordship then directed them to reconsider their verdict. They immediately, after consulting, returned a verdict of Guilty, anti the Judge repeated the same sentence on the psi- Ironer as before, INDIA. ajutoi OF FORT St OEORGE.

Mr. Bannerman *milted. the translation of s paper "of considerable difficulty t}om Telugu into English without a single error; and his translation from English into Telugtacon• tained very few inaccuracies. He read part of an official letter with ease; and a few only of the words were unintelligible to him. He speaks the language remarkably well : and his ac quirements on the whole are considered by us to be of a very high order. Mr. Bird's translation into Tainil was perfectly correct ex cept in two places, where the deviations from the original were not material ; the precise translations of those passages must have been as easy to him, as the rendering, which he gave to them ; and the substituted phrases were excellent. Tamil His style is idiomatic, and his version flail. He has great command of words, and is only occr.sionally inaccurate in orthography.— Mr. Bird's translation from Tamil into English, though not quite so accurate, conveyed generally the meaning of the ori ginal. The connection and spirit of the story were preserved, and it was only ratheroo free a translation for an exercise. These two exercises, however, are extremely creditable to Mr. Bird ; and shew that he has studied not only assiduously but judiciously since his last examination. He converses with great fluency and propriety and perfectly understands what is address ed to him : his grammatical knowledge is evinced in hie corn - positions, which are, with one or two very trifling exceptions, correct throughout. Mr. Bannerman's progress in flindoostanee since the lest examination is creditable to him in th e hi g h est degree. His translations into English were remarkably correct, and the ilsw errors which they contained, were altogether unimportant. His translation from English into llindoostanee conveyed the fall sense of the original in language for the most part strictly idiomatical. Mr. Bannerman's orthography, which at the pre.. ceding examination was found to be faulty, is now very correct. His pronunciation is particularly good ; and in conversation he expresses himself fluently and with great correctness of lan guage. The progress made in Hindoostanee by Mr. Bird since the last examination is also highly creditable to him. In trans lating from Ilindoastance into English he was not quite so suc cessful as Mr. Bannerman ; nor was his translation into Hin doostance distinguished by the same accuracy of idiom and orthography, as that of Mr. Bannerman. His acquirements, howover, in this language, though inferior to Mr. Bannerman, are of a very high order, and merit particular approbation. He converses with case and fluency, and his pronunciation is very good. qualified l e consider t tl o si e d n e t r e r t i l r il l3 ta i v ill e r t publicgan e servicerman a ; n d ant M r . to established their claims to the honorary reward of B,NO c o op be etti f ve ulty y Rupees, which we recommend may be conferred upon them.

Exercises in Mabratta and English were sent by the Mah ratta translator to Government to be performed by Mr. Lavie; and the following is a transcript of Mr. Eliot's report on the translations. " Mr. Lavie has made considerable proeress in Ai Arena " since his last examination, an d h as attained a very creditable " proficiency in the language. He translated a long and die " cult passage from 11ialuatta, and although his version into " English is not perfectly correct, he has been successful in " rendering the general meaning of the ori g i na l, an d the Ink " takes and defects in the trauslation are not of material Ini " portance. This exercise, on the whole, *hews toles " Ness an ex t ens i ve knowle dge of words, and to be. wellness " qttainted with the rules of construed() and the idiom of the " language. his translation from En glish into Mahratta Is " not so well performed, but it is generally intelligible. " I consider Mr. Lavie to possess a sufficient knowledgeof the Mahratta language to qualify him to transact business Mr. Cochrane, who was so good as to conduct Mr. Levies oral examination, reports that he reads and converses with cor rectness, though he is rather wanting in fluency. Mr. Lavie has added to his acquirements in Hindoostanee since the last examination. His translations into English were nearly equal to those of Mr. Bird ; and his II indocketanee Ex ercise, though it contained several mistakes both in point of idiom and orthography, was still very creditable to him. He converses with great fluency and ease. We consider that Mr. Lavie, although he has not established a claim to the honorary reward, is qualified to enter the public service, being fully competent to transact business in two lan guages. • Published by orderof the Honourable the Governor In Council. .1.
