LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCE r,Lo it's COURT, Nov. 3. YOUNG v. GOODSON. His HONOUR took,his seat at 20 minutes past 11 u'cloek, stating that he had read all the papers in this 'case, and It tip= peared to him necessary to allow the demurrer. The bill was filed by Sir William Young, in his character of trustee, which prayed, that he, as trustee, might be declared entitled to take possession of the premises in 9fiestion, under and subject to the trusts of the particular indenture which created those trusts ; and the question made by the demurrer was, whether the cestmique trusts under that indenture, who are equally in terested with Sir William Young under the second mortgage deed, should not be parties to the bill ? And it was very ob vious, that unless there were some particular objection to be taken, every person interested in this case must be a party to to the bill ; and the reason was, that unless that were so, the effect of the decree in the canse would exclude those who were interested under the second mortgage, and of necessity, there fore, they had a r i g h t to prevent that decree. - It litid been ' contended, however, at the bar, t h at t h ere was .a spec i ality in this case, whi c h was, that Sir James Law's indenture (who is the second mortgagee) contained a certain declaration of trust, to which other parties interested were not parties; there. fore the Court was to consider that declaration as voluntary on the part of Sir James Law; and, having been voluntary, was not to be considered binding. The first answer to that was, that it was totally inconsistent with the plaintiff's own bill, for it prayed that he might be entitled under and subject to that very indenture. The Duke of Marlborough's case did not apply here; ii it had applied, Sir James would have had to have revoked the trust, but he had not revoked it, and therefore it remained an ineffectual trust. It was for these reasons that the demurrer would have to be allowed, with liberty to the plaintiff' to amend his bill upon the usual terms. SPANISH LOAN. Mr. Durant. The Court would remember that this was ori ginally a suit of separation and divorce, promoted in the Con sistory Court of Lichfield, by Mrs. Mary-Ann Durant against her husband, by reason of various acts of adultery, and cruelty by him committed. In consequence of certain proceedings had in that Court, wherein Mr. Durant was pronounced in contempt, the cause was appealed up hither; when the Judge Pronounced for the appeal, and retained the principal cause. The. Learned Counsel then recapitulated the various stages through which these proceedings had subsequently travelled, and went on to show that no time was lost by his client's proctor after being furnished with copies of the voluminous depositions of 44 witnesses-28 of whom were examined on the first plea; and 21 on a subsequent allegation of faculties. The Court must perceive, that in order to found and prepare an exceptive allega tion, it was necessary that the depositions to be excepted to should be carefully paused by those who were best qualified to judge of their probable effect in supporting such an alliga tion ; and it was the more necessary in the present case, where the depositions were made. upon a plea not originally . given in in this Court, nor settled by Counsel here ; but given in the court below, where pleas were known to be more loosely settled than in the Arches' Court. It appeared,from certain affidavits now brought in, that Mr. Wood, the solicitor for,Mr. Durant, and resident at Wolverliampwn, had been so exceedingly in disposed from November, 1822 to January, 1823, that he was totally disqualified from attending to business. In the mean . while, publication had been decreed in this court—and it was, in consequence of Mr. Durant's legal assistants having since discovered that evidence could be adduced to invalidate The tes timony of the witnesses on the other side, that the present ap plication was made for the re-opening of the case to admit an exceptive plea. The learned Counsel then proceeded to demon tr e n e n i g t thatl,ng vaguely the ely facts ate her contended, med e and loosely pleaded—in Airs.

Dr. ADA ms contended that this prayer could not possibly employed to contract a Loan in thi s countr y f or t h e Govern ment he represent e d ; he had effected that to a certain extent ; be acceded to. The whole foundation of the plea was, lathes sums were placed in the hands of the defendants, p and of thir the Spanish Co mm i ss i oners to receive those sums; and the em toed b y on the part of a country attorney, justified or excused, by in disposition. But an Ecclesiastical Court, for any purposes of plaintiff remitted to the Sp an i s h . G overnment u teen thousand pounds, which, with p a y ments to others, and hi s could not recognize any such , officer as an attorney. It was, this nature, or with reference to any such application as this, exPenees in this country, amounted to more than 07,0004 and perhaps, to be lamented that so much of the business of these which he now sought to be reimbursed out of: the funds in t h e • Courts already found its way into the hands of common law at hands of the defendants.

Upon read ing the record, it was clear that the funds were against Spanish Government ;it was impossible therefore laced in the ration of his allegation in due time.

The Court was even then reluctant to break through the rule of proceeding to the conclusion of the cause; because It was clear, that to admit new testimony on one side, after the publication of all the evidence which was to be adduced by the adverse party, would he to ' open wide a door for the possible admission of perjury, anti the subornation of witnesses. In this case it was obvious to the Court that due diligence had not, been exercised; and without entering into the matter of Mr. Wood's affidavit more particularly, it was shown on the face of it that he was suf. liciently able to have communicated with Mr. Durant, and to have obtained all th e ev id ence i t m i g h t . have beenproposed to get for an exceptive plea, in the usual and due time. Besides, this Court could not recognize (though aware that such profes sionaltimes necessary) any other than the Proctor as the respon siblehe was the " &mama Mir," and not th e assistance as that of a Solicitor in the country was some times agent in a suit ; attorney of his party. Under all the circumstances of this an. plication, and on the matters stated in the affidavits both of Air. Durant himself and Mr. Wood, the Court could not consent to admit, at present, an exceptive plea, nor to rescind th e conclu ' sion of the cause, which it now assigned, absolutely, for sen tence. On referring, too, to the minutes of proceedings, it op peered, that so, long ago as Michaelmas Term, 1822, ilir. Du rant's party declared that he should offer no allegation, unless exceptive •to the credit of witnesses ; and yet, at this distance of time, it was sought to introduce an entirely new and eubstantive plea. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Now. 3. THE. KING V. YATEIL This was a criminal information in the nature of a quo tear. ranto, filed against the defendant, calling upon him to spew by what authority lie claimed to be a free burgess of the borough of Monmouth. Several pleas were put upon the record ; that a meeting was regularly convened for the election ; that the defendant was duly put in nomination, and that he was elected by a Majority of the Corporation. The relator replied, that due notice had not been. given of the election, that the right of nominating candidates for the office of free burgess . was in a select body, named the Common Council, and that the de. fendant was not nominated by the Common Council, but by a free burgess, contrary to the usual mode of nomination. Upon the trial, it appeared that the meeting of the Corpora. don for the election of the burgesses was usually convened by ringing the Town Hall bell, and that notice of the sitting of the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions was given in the same way; that the day nn which the defendant was elected was the first day of the Quarter Sessions ; that many of the burgesses did not live within hearing of the Town Hall bell; that the defen dant was put in nomination by a free burgess, and his election carried by a thew of hands. The Jury found the defendant guilty generally, and the Learned Judge who presided at tho trial having been applied to by the Counsel for the defendant to ask the Jury upon what count they found their verdict, namely, whether because they thought the meeting was not dilly convened, or that the nomination of candidates for the office of a free burgess was in the Common Council, refused to ask that question, and the verdict was entered generally. On a former day Mr. Caarrnr.t.t. obtained a rule calling upon the relator to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, upon the ground that the ver dict of the Jury ought to have stated upon what point the de fehtlant was found guilty. Mr. Tatnrrox this day, in shewing cause against the rule, contended that the evidence warranted the Jury in finding their verdict upon both counts, and it was therefore unnecessary to state upon what count they found their verdict. Cross having followed on the same side. Mr. CAMPBELL contended in support of the rule, that the verdict ought to be At aside and a new trial h a d , as the pre. sent verdict left no dclobt whether the meeting was properly convened, or whether the right of nomination was in the Com mon Council. COURT OF BURGESSES. DEVICIENT WEIGHTS AND MEASURE& A Court of Burgesses was held yesterday in the Bail Court, Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of receiving the pre sentments made by the " Annoyance Jury," and of hearing any appeals which might be made against the same, 'There were only two cases called on : these were, Vincent Cutinore, eating-housekeeper, Carlisle -street, corner of Great Chapel-street, Soho.

They were of opinion that the evidence at the trial was conclusive tiPon one min, namely, that due notice had not been given of the election : when the law pre scribed no specific day for an election, the tinging of a bell within hearing of which some of the Burge sses did not live, could not be deemed sufficient notice.—Rule discharged.

FOIL THE SUN. MR. FAUNTLEROY. Ma. EDITOR—The melancholy. circumstances of this unhappy man's disgrace, and probable ca, tastrophe, afford abundant matter for serious arid important consideration. To see a man, wbfide amiable and unsuspected character in society be esattottitfied once ein b t y o soi m h n ed t e q pt hno i o iso u f ra il b if l a e n per v s 2 o a n n s d j plunged l e l . l " : l k d :d for the most ignominious sentence of the law, if it.recal not those who are already tainted with - guilt,may surely prove an eff , etual warning to those who are only tempted to it. Without dwelling Upon the horror of the closing - scene which is to terminate his present miseries, let any one figure to himself the agonies of that man's mind whose only idea of good seems to have centered In the estimation of the world, who yet, for sixteen years, must have had constantly before his eyes the possibility and pro babilityof such a sudden change as has at length befallen him. He speaks in his confession, for defence it was not, of his anxious days and sleep less nights, with a feeling which most strongly marks the wretchedness of that condition. Most contrary to all common Chances was it, that be . should have escaped so long; and in any moment through that extended period he might have been reduced at once to the sitilation he now la ments. Here, then, are sixteen years of conscious deceit, hypocrisy, and acknowledged misery i —borne for what purpose ? To keep up an out- ward show of prosperity, and maintain an uncle served character in society ; to end at once in the , most ignominious tragedy. Surely it is a bad master who so rewards his servants We may see, too, in all this, how unavailing is the principle of worldly honour, when not sup ported by any higher motive. The labour of such a man's life is to cultivate the opinions of men—to stand high in their estimation regard and confidence; yet he can at the same time practise hi secret such things as would, if any one of them were known, immediately reverse their opinions, change regard into alienation, and confidence into contempt. Ile, in the meanwhile, as an au- thor says, w hom such men too seldom consult, " flatters himself in his own sight, until his abominable sin be found out ;" and then unavail iug sorrow, shame, and misery are all that re mains to him. Nor does it evidently form a small part of his suffering, that being detected in one crime he is instantly suspected of a thousand others, and perhaps openly accused of them. This was clearly one of the most agonizing parts of the present sufferer's misery. Base and ava ricious Papers, to increase their own sale, had circulated the most atrocious calumnies respect. ing his life and general conduct. They had im puted his acts of guilt to the worst at' motives ; such as probably the writers of those calumnies knew to be their only actuating principles. These falsehoods almost drove him to despair nor was , be half so afraid of death as of dying dis,_ graced, and odious in the eyes of men. To alle viate as much as possible the weight of this dis tressing idea, was all that he attempted, in what he delivered as his defence ; intimating that he could die comparatively contended, if he did not die detested and contemptible. But, as for the Thought of something after death, That undiscovered country," &c. Of this he seems, unhappily, to have had no feel. ing, May he, even yet, come to a better mind", and see that if he had so felt in proper time*, hop, never might have fallen into his present wretch, edness. The cruelty of circulating such calumnies. against a man, already overwhelmed with real,, guilt, was strongly expressed by Mr. Justic 4 PARK, and has on various occasions been so no : , ticed by him. But why should not this be pre. vented in future? Are our laws too feeble to reach the offence ? or would it he an infringe. meta of the liheity of Ow press, to enact that had men should not trample nn the fallen, or heap . new loads of misery on the wretched ? Surely a. statute might easily be framed to inflict SOMO penalty or punishment which might effectually prevent the offence.
