COURT OF CMANCERY, Nov. 4. BOUCIVE v. PETERS. Mr. llonstE applied Wien injunction. to restrain the de ' fendants from effecting a transfer of money in the hands of the Accountant-General and in the Bank, according to an order of course obtained for that purpose. In the year 1770, one Nicholas Jecquinet came over to England, at lived und.r the assumed name of John Pourtois. lie acquired by his appli cation to business a very large fortune, amounting, in fact, to hundreds of thousands of pounds. He lived to an extreme old age, and died in 18113. In the year 1801. being then 72 years of age, .one Anne Peters, a scullion, discharged from some great family, was introduced to him. Ile took lodgings for her, and cohabited with her. She bore three children, and put them upon him as the father, though it was now in proof that she was pregnant with one of them at the time of his first seeing her. The deceased had three illegiti. mate children 'before his connexion - with her. He made a will, - disposing of the bulk of -his immense property in favour of his children. Afterwards, thinking that the security of the will was too loose, the parties induced him to effect a deed of gift. On the suggestion of one Gila, an attorney, of Shire:. line (as it is stated in the pleadings), Anne Peters persuaded him to Make a will entirely in favour of her children, to the exclusion of his first offspring. The executors named were all men of respectability,' and nothing improper --was attributed do them. Anne .Peters becoming apprehensive that the cir cumstances under which this will was obtained, the testa tor being by this time, as would be clear from the evi dence, decidedly of unsound mind, by the advice of the same attorney, she then obtained a transfer to her children of the greater portion of the fended property. The first draught of this last instrument (the paper was handed up to the Court) - contained these words—" In the event of the aforesaid will being disputed." It was conjectured that the words were too -well calculated to raise suspicions of themselves ; they were struck out, and did-not appear in the deed. It would- be shewn by the evidence, that he was at the time totally ignorant of the ' effect of what he was signing, and incapable of understanding it. Until the-age of 67 the conduct of the testator was known to have been unexceptionable. He • then altered his conduct, and began a career of utter depravity. He addicted himself to the lowest vices, and kept the worst possible company. • lie frequented an infamous house in Gray's-inn-lane, kept by a woman named Trippeau, with whom he cohabited. She and a woman called Brown acquired great influence over him._ , They were anxious to get some of his property. They put him in a chair, bound him, held a knife over him, and thre a te ne d him'with death if he id not comply with their demands. He. signed a note of hand for a considerable sum, and escaped out of the house with difficulty. The women were tried for the, offence at the Old Bailey, - and found guilty. He afterwards took Brown into regular keeping in the_house of a respectable man at the west end of the town. Trippeau there introduced to him Ann Peters as a companion. for Brown, who was soon discarded to make way for her. It appeared in' the evidence that the conduct of the group became outrageously wicked and indecent. Three or four prOstitutes would be brought into the - house at a time, without anyobservance of the difference be tween day and night. The landlord, finding them to he ttuite intolerable, got them out; and they. took apartments in a - house in St. Alartin's-street; Leicester-square. The inmates of this house had deposed that he was in their conviction of unsound mind. • That evidence was corroborated by the testimony Of his three eldest children, who were provided for in the will by moderate legacies. The funded property was already in Court, but being appropriated in thirds _to the progeny of Anne Peters, an order had been obtained for transferring the portions to the names of two of them, daughters, who had at tained the age of 21. The present motion was for an Injunc tion to stay them from proceeding on that order until all the causes- were heard. Proceedings had been instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court' to set aside the will on the ground of in sanity.' The plaintiff appeared_to claim the property on behalf of himself and the kindred of-the testator. He had accordingly taken out administration. The reason why this application had not been made sooner was, that one Calon, who was'next of kin and the proper claimant at the death of the testator ; had died Within the last fifteen months. He expired in - extreme ' want of the necessaries of life, and it was proved that he had declared at the time of his decease that Pourtois was of un sound mind, and that he would if he were able institute pro ceedings to recover the property. The present plaintiff had come neer here in 1798 as secretary to a commission for an exchange of prisoners, and had continued to reside here ever since. Claud Riaudean, and other parts for whose interests he I appeared- in common with his own, were persons residing abroad, with whom lie had to consult, otherwise the application • , 1 to the Court would have been more prompt. • The Loan CHANCELLOR directed that the order should; issue. The parties, however, were to be served with the sub peena as soon as possible, and notice should be given to them, that they might come into Court, and be heard as speedily as they thought fit. RIDGE V.-MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL referring the Court back to this case, which relates to a bond for 5,000/. given by the Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, the suit of which had been dis missed by the Master of the Rolls for informality, the parties not being at the time within the jurisdiction of the Court, he now moved that the Court would be pleased to give directions what was to be doiie thereupon. • • Mr. HEALD opposed the motion, because it was indefinite in in object, and unprecedented in its form. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that there (-mid be no doubt as to the intention of the Noble Marquis fulfilling the bond. The matter is to be mentioned on some future day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 4. The VICE-CHANCELLOR held the second seal before term to-day. BOUND V. STONE. Mr. BrcEERsTETH appeared to show cause why an in junction which had been granted in this cause, to restrain the defendant from disposing of certain shares in the Radcliffe Gas Company, which he claimed to hold, should be set aside. It appeared from the statements on both sides, that the defendant 'had been •one of the persons engaged in the establishment or the Radcliffe Gas Company, and that he had become entitled to one4enth share of the whole property of that Company.— The plaintiff after Wards agreed to purchase a moiety of his share, and the sale was concluded at the sum of 500/. The atlitirs of the Company turned out so prosperous, owing to the increased consumption of gas, that in o r d e r to extend their business, and to prevent others from participating in the advantages of this undertaking, which the proprietors had themselves planned, they found it necessary to erect very large additional' buildings, and to augment their capital. - - To do this effectually, it was necessary to obtain the autho. rite of Parliament, and an Act was passed, by which their capital was to he increased to 100,0001., wad the interest in the Company was to be divided into one thousand shares.— Of these shares the - existing proprietors took tikift, and the. remainder were thrown into the tnarket. The actual 'value of She slaws of the old proprietors was 52,000/. Of thii certain part was to be retained as. their subscription to the new company, and the surplus divided among them according to their respective interests in the old shares. A sum of 1,9001. was paid in ca,,h to the defendant as his share of the surplus; and credit was given to him for 3,9611. on account of his subscrip . tions towards the new shares. The defendant paid the plain tiff half of the IMO/. ; but refused to let him participate in the profits to be derived from the other shares. The plaintiff' had therefore filed his bill, upon the ground that as' the shares which the defendant held had been granted to him in vittue. of that one-tenth share, a moiety of which he had sold to the plaintiff, the latter was entitled to u moiety of all the profit that might result-from them, whatever division they •mightaindergo. An injunction was issued in compliance with the prayer of that bill; and the present motion was to dissolve the injunction. Mr. SUGDE..; and Mr. BARBER were heard in favour of the injunction. The VICE C:IANCELLOR said that from the statements in .the b 11, which remained uncontradieted, the plaintitf.had 'made out snClfa . case as entitled him, prima facie, to . the .in junction which had issued. It was not. necessary for him to decide in this stage of .the business' on the came, and it would he highly inexpedient to do so, because there might be facts not yet laid before the C.urt which would give it a difli:rent complexion , . As it stood, however, at present, no cause lad been shown against the injunction, which must therefore be allowed to stand. Mr. Sut4DE:l applied for costs; but his Honour said it was not the practice of the Court to give'coits on such appli- Fatitins.—( For further Law Proceedings, see the Fourth Pa.ge.i PRICE SEt•ENPENCE LITERARY NOTICE. . , ..~ FORGET ME NOT; a Chriittnas- and New Year's Present fOr the Year 1826. Another Number of this interesting and beaU tiful little Work has just issued from Mr. AcKEft mANN'S Repositoey. Four years have now elapsed since that gentleman, in emolation of the highly embellished pocket-books which are at this sea sou bestowed upon youthful friend's on the conti nent, first published his " Forget Me Not." The attempt succeeded ; and, as might have been expected, a rivalry was very quickly esta h.lkhed, so that there are now, we believe, at least half a dozen of these " Offei;ings of Friend . - ship" annually published. Amongst all these, it is but just to Mr. ACKERMANN to state, that, in ad ditiop to the merit which attaches to him from being the first in the field,' he may also claim that of evident superiority. Some among those which we have mentioned have followed very closely in his footsteps, but, in our opinion, none, have yet attained the neatness, delicacy, and taste, which distinguish this annual production of Mr. ACKERMANN: On the present occasion he appears to have been stimulated by the cumpeti tion to produce a more beautiful Number than he has yet published. In this he has certainly suc ceeded. For the embellishments the first Artists have been employed, both with reference to the original designs and to the subsequent engrav ings, while, for the literary portion, we have also before us a list of talented 'names, whose efforts have been concentrated to render the Work completely c;ilculated to fUlfil . the purpose for which it is designed. Among the prints we should notice`" Contemplation," 'a very beautiful study, by •WESTALL ; " The' Child's Dream," also by %VESTALL, and beauti fully engraved by CHARLES HEATH. " The Bridge of Sighs at Venice" is a very spirited produCtion 'of the pf;nCil of Mr. Paotyr ; and 4 The Cottage Door" is a specimen equally cre ditable to Mr. HI L LS (ribose excellence in that department of his art is well known), and to Mr. E. FINDEN, the engraver. Considering the gene ral merit of the embellishrrients, it is hardly fair to instance individual talent ; but were we to in dulge freely in Praise (in which we confess we are at present disposed to run riot), our notice of this little work would far exceed those limits, which deipite of inclination we must regard. In fact, however, we cannot better promote the interest of Mr. ACKERMANN, or the pleasure of Our Readers, than by earnestly - recommending the " Forget Me Not" to the notice of the latter,. confident that each succeeding year will find therit less inclined to forget that there is so inte resting a publication.

Sir FELtx AGAR having been to the chair, opened the business of the meeting. The report was then read, Which" concluded by holding out a fair promise of success in the ori*.; ginal objects of the company. A motion being made that the report be received and prieted, Mr. WOODWARD, the solicitor, observed that he had been consulted - by several shareholders as to the effect of theirscon-' flexion with this Company. The' agitation caused by recent proceedings respecting joint Stock companies, and particularly' by what had passed before the Lord Mayor on a late occasion, rendered itimportant on their parts to inquire what liabilities. they incurred by being members of a company like this, and by what authority the company was constituted, or its proceed-, ings carried on. The learned gentleman was then expatiating *on the state of the law respecting joint stock companies, and the importance to his clients of knowing the nature of the deed- of settlement at present in preparation, and ascertaining how far its clauses might bind their property, when he was interrupted, and referred to the prospectus. An irregular discussion was then about taking place, but order being at length restored, Mr. WooDwARD resumed his observations on the law; and added that his clients had no disposition to carry on this specu lation any longer. Manganese was easily had ; and they did not think that the Company would be favoured with much " golden opportunity." His clients \visited to know who were the original . Directors ; whether any change had taken place. amongst them ; and who were the present self-constituted Di./ rectors—those persons who tiok upon themselves to say, " these are our regulations, and you must be bound by them." Now, if candour was the object of the Directors in calling this Meeting, they would not object to answer those questions which he had been instructed to ask. He held in his hand an original prospectus, containing a list of Directors, of Whom it had had been given out one or two had been removed: He wished to know if that were true ? The CHAIRMAN read over the names of the present Di , rectors. Mr. WOODWARD said, he observed that the names of Sir Wm. Mansell; Mr. Stokes, and Sir Paul Baghott, were omitted in that, although they appeared in another which he held in his hand. • ; The CHAIRMAN said that but one prospectus had ever.been issued with the knowledge of the Directors ; and called upon Mr. Woodward to produce the one to which he alluded. There was a general cry cf " Give it up." "' Mr. WOODWARD declined doing so,- as it had corrections in it. After sortie desultory conversation, and mutual recrimination of some of the parties, a scene of uproar commenced and , pre.. vailed for some time, while threats, defiances, and vituperative expressions were interchanged in all directions. Order being restored; Mr. ?last, in explanation of the origin of the Company, said that it arose from the circumstance of Mr. Pront ; waiting on his . two sons and urging them to purchase the Lideat mine of him, which he represented as most valuable. When the directors were named, Mr. Prout claimed the privilege of naming some of them, for the purpose of protecting his inte rests ; and he accordingly nominated Sir Paul Bagshott, Bart. Sir Wm. Mansell, Bart., and Mr. Dixson. Now it turned out that there was no such person as " sir Paul Bagshott, Bart," in the kingdom ; Sir Wm. Mansell was, to Mr. Prout's • knowledge, in the Bench at the • time, and his, name in the Gazette the night before. With respect to the charge of taking salaries, which had been brought against the directors,. It was wholly unfounded, as no officers of the company - whatevet toad received a farthing in the way of salary or remuneration for , their services ; and the whole - cape= of die late deputation to rr Cornwall was 331. After Aome further proceedings, not worth detailing; and fre quently interrupted by disputes among the,parties, a motion was made that the report be received, which was carried, and the meeting broke up. , • •
