LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, WESTMINSTLIt, JAN. 27. ELOPEMENT. DEANfI versus DEANE. When tbis cause was last heard, the Lord Chan cellor had directed it to stand over till this morn ing, in order to give the parties an opportunity of filing additional affidavits, if they should think proper to do so. It was now stated by the Coun sel, that Dr. Moore bad made a second affidavit, confirming the statements contained in his for mer one, and deposing that in the interview be tween him and Mr. and Mrs. Stable, the latter, on being told by the deponent that the marriage would be valid if the banns we►e duly published, said, with evident emotions of anxiety," 0, well, then, let the banns go on," or words to that ef fect. On the other beard, Mr. and Mrs. Stable,-in a counter affidavit, denied that any such expres sion was used. They stated, that during the in terview Dr. Moore was vety unwell, and evidently in great pain, and w this cause they ascribed his misrepresentation of what took place on the occa sion. The circumstance of Mrs. Stable having taken lodgings for Mr. Deane, on his return to London from the University, which had formerly been animadverted on by the Court, was now ex plained by at► affidavit on the part of Mr. Deane himself ; who represented that be had left Oxtord with the consent of his mother and friends, and that it was also wi!h their knowledge and con sent that Mts. St:tide had hired lodgings for him in London. There were several other new affidavits pro duced, but they Oiselo,ed no facts of any import ance. The Counsel on both sides having at gued at considerable length on the effect ot these de positions, The Loan Cliaraceeeort said, in the course of the long and frequent hearings which had been granted in this cause-, various subjects bad come betore hint which prevented him, consistently with his duty to the. Court, from concluding the matter without carefully reading over. all the affidavits. In deciding on Ibis question, he had an important and difficult duty to perform—impot tart, because he was called upon, under the sanction of his ju dicial oath, to protect the Court front contempt and insult ; and difficult, because he had to deter mine, on conflicting testimony, whether in this case there had been a contempt of Court. Otte thing was extremely clear, that this marriage, provided it could be regularly performed, was agreeable both to Mr. and Mrs. Stable, particu larly to the latter. As to what bad taken place previously to the 11th of December; when Mr. Deane was made a ward of the Court, lie had nothipg whatever to do with it ; he admitted, that it it had • been made out more clearly than it really was, that Mr. and Mrs. Stable were anxious to promote the marriage, and had it taken place before that date, the Court would have bad no right to interfere ; but when it was alleged that subsequently to the I lth of Dec. they hatlpro moted the marriage, he might look at their prior conduct in order to ascertain how far their sub sequent concurrence was a contempt of Court. Supposing that in the two letters to Mr. Carr, Mr. Stable assured him that no clandestine mar t iage should take pkee, and that, notwithstand ing this promise, it really did take place, he would not go the length of saying that Mr. Stable had therefore been guilty ot contempt, because if it could he made out that deceit had been practise.:', on him, lie would he exculpated. But he thong r that since these letters had been written. Stable was called upon to show how the , . toad happened which he promised should not 'oappen, He would also take this opportunity of z , ..iying, that formerly be had stated too strongly the force of the circumstance, that lodgings had h.;!etataken for Mr. Deane in Hanover-square. He had re presented this us an indecorous proceeding on the part of Mrs. Stables ; but the circumstance had now been pared down by the additional affidavit, and he was therefore anxious to express his re gret that any thing should have fallen from him in jurious to the character either of Mr. Stable or Mrs. Stable. He knew; no part of a Lord Chan cellor's duty that was more important than that of sifting to the bottom every charge of entrap ping a ward of Court ; and, under this convic tion, be , pledged himself to read carefully the affidavits b e fore that day se'nnight. If the Counsel were then prepared to tell him what progress the Master bad made in his report respecting the va lidity of the marriage, he should be prepared to tell them whether the farther attendance of any of the parties would be necessary. coula OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 27. FORSYTH V. HALL. Mr. HoNo moved fora new trial in this case, which it will be recollected was an action against the defendant for inftin.ing the plaintiff's patent for an improved method of discharging fire-arms by means of percussiving fulminating gunpowder. The plaintiff had a verdict of 3001.; and The. CourlT, after hearing the Learned Counsel at very considerable length, refused the rule. LORD CHURCHILL V. THR Tlig SANIR. V. THE CHRONICLE. Mr. PLATT moved the Court for judgment a in case of nonsuit, the plaintiff not proceeding to triaL—Granted. WRIGHT V. CLEMENT, ESC/ Mr. PLATT moved for a rule to spew cause why, upon payment of costs, the verdict for the plain tiff in this case for 5001. should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. It was an action against the defendant for priblAshing a number of Cob heirs Political Register, in which the plaintiff's character was maligned, he having been one of the coadjutors of Mr. C. in the publication of certain Parliamentary Registers. The defendant's case at the trial rested upon evidence that he had positively enjoined his servants not to sell any of Mr. Cobbett's works, and that the paper which was the subject of this action was told clandestinely and unknown to the defendant. One of the wit nesses, named Sudbury, a shopman to Mr. Cle ment, swore that his master had never at any time given hint any ()niers upon the subject of Cob bett's works, contrary to his own previous volun tary statement, upon which the briefs of Connsel were prepared. Two other witnesses positively swore• that they had received such orders from Mr. Clement, The present motion was founded upon - the affidavits of Mr. Clement himself to that effect, of his brother, Mr. Cliatles Clement, his princi pal shoprnan, the porter, and Sudbury, who now stated, as a reason why he had not adhered to his original statement, that he was confused, and had mistaken the questions put to him by Counsel. The COURT fefused the Rule for a new trial, saying, that as there was no new evidence, it '0; NS quite contrary to the practice to grant new trial. upon the supposition that the witnesses on the former trial would swear differently on another occasion. Mr. PLATT then moved for a Rule 10 shear cause, why the judgment should not be myresied,. on the ground that the counts of the declaration upon which the verdict for the plain►iff' bad pro' ceeded were iziformal, in that they professed to sec out the substance of the alleged libel, instead of the very words. The Court, upon ,this gro►►nd, granted a Ruie to shew cause. MACERONI V. MUI3RAY. This was an action for a libel, alleged to trace been publkhed by the defendant in The Quarterly Review, reflecting upon the plaintiff's comities, touching the fact of his procuring a passport for the late Prince Murat, from the Austrian tioverw• meat, The particulars of the case, in which tbe verdict went for the defendant, were laid befell's our readers at the time of the trial. Itet.t. now niovtd fora new trial, and The COURT, ;,fter heariug the Learned Cuousa at considenible ,length, refusetl the Rule. The Court sat until an unusually late hour alt this period of the Term. BOXING. An off-hand match was fought yesterday m oor ing, at Barn:jug-pm), eight miles from WA: wyn, Herts, between Harry Plank, a man °I some skill in this fashional;!e art, hod George Ford, a Leicestershire man of athletic poreeil• The match was for 40 :;slineas a side. I'b hackers were, Captain Hands, for Plaok, awl Ford was backed by subscription. Walton, tiro cricketer, seconded Ford, and Wm. Jones of* . ciated for Plank.—Seventeen gallant rounds WI C fought in 42 minutes, as follow : In the first round, Plank placed a left-bande l hit upon his adversary's mouth, which shook tb e ivories, and in following with his rigist hand, 1 was met on the ear by Ford's left hand, whicb warmed the wax, and floored him. Betting soti s even at going off, but Ford was now backed at i, and 7 to 4. 2. A smart rallying round, decidedly in favour of Plank, whose quickness painted his adversary' s head in all manner of forms. He was hit a wto,' , when performing active operations, by a blow i° the throat, ‘vhich produced a mountebank WC; but instead of going doken, he recovered anti brie ed upon his adversary, and threw him. 3. Both were waiting for wind, and it wa 0 long time cowing ; at length Plank floored kris adversary by a hit in the mouth, and he drop' ped two of his grinders. The six rounds were manfully . fsrOgitts and although Plank was contending at:ainst $ man I?.ilfs, heavier titan himself, yet Ire bull' trim in a manful style, and from his st•rZj hi had equal advantages. This round reduced the fight to somethlog a certainty, es Ford's right eye was complete ly closed, and the lett was damaged. Plank' ob' ject seemed to be to sew up the other, hut 12i 4 tactics were clumsily returned upon by his wive' sary's left hand, which floored him. 11. Ford's head was so disfigured, that his w.r 4 world not have known him, and his opponent gave up the notion of closing the other peeper' from the blow heknapped in the last rotund. 13 06 were too much tired to do mischief, and they wen t down together in a close. 12.
