The FOURTiI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the rep art. which is too lengthy or publication : During the past year no claim have arisen from deaths in Englawl. and but two in Ireland—one for 500/. and the other for 2001.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the lot of June, 1849, and the 31st of Tay, 1350, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop ,sass were made for 134 Policies, amounting to 52,9631. 2s. fid.: of these 121, comrrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. G. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3'. was received by the Company in. the sh , ipe of premiums Since the c :mmencernent of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. I2s 6d., pro- ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,930/. 16s. 61., of which the animal premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de I'Etanc, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, rpproving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prosrects.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive gans. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Slqford, July 30. CIVIL SlDE.—(t3efur© Lord CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.) DOE, DEM. BAINBRICGE v. BAINBRIGGE. The Solicitor-General (Mr. Cockburn), Mr. Alexan der, Q C.. And Mr. Gray appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Keating, Q.C., Mr. Whitmore, and Mr. Pigot appeared for tha deti:rlan t. This case which occupied tho attention of the Court from Thursday morning at 9 till half-past 11 at night, and from Son Friday to half-past cloven at night, and rgain from S on tilturdqy morning until half.past 11 at night, and from 9 yesterday morning till 11 at night, was brought to a clone at 2 o'clock to-day. It was an action of ijectment to try the validity of a will made in 1818, the plaintiff, law, seeking to upset it on two grounds—insanity and fraud. The case, us opened by the Solicitor-G , Teral, was to this effect:— The testator, Tht may B inbrigge, wss the representa tive of a very ancient family in Derbyshire, Warwick shire, and Staffordshire, and inherited considerable estates in those counties, to which in the course of his life he made considerable additions. In early life he was a man of very refined and polished manners, and moved in the best society both in Lon don and in the country. He became attached to a young lady. Some difficulty arose as to a marriage settle ment. His tither would not consent to his marriage, and she died. This event soured his temper, and be be came somewhat less fond of society than he had been, and after his father's death retired to a seat on the bor ders of Sherwood Forest. This was about the year 1769. He had a servant there who was called Eliza beth Parker or Mrs. Betsey—a person of some attrac tions. She became pregnant. He believed himself the father of her child, a daughter, who was born in Sep t,lmber, 1790, and was named Betsey Bainbrigge. Mrs. Betsey did not confine her favours to her master, and became pregnant a second time by another man. Mr. Bainbrigge thereupon turned her off, with some allow ance, but kept the daughter . Betsey,. paid the greatest attention to her - eiluestiottosrat-her--tes the best -boArd. ing schools, and when her education was completed brought her to his scat at Woodseat, and introduced her as his acknowledged daughter into society, where she was very well received. In 1803, when she was e heria tail; h s andest estates f thirteen, and when he was most attached to htr, life, e i r,he wit m h adeh remainder lhaiser v issue will, default of such issue, to his own nephews, and requiring that her husband should assume the name of Bainbrigge. Before, however, she was 17, she was got with child by his coachman. This deeply annoyed him; and he, con quently, on the 15th of October, 1808, made another; will, by which he left his estates to three trustees to sell, and out of the proceeds to pay her an annuity of 2001. a year, and his sister, Mrs. James, one of 1001. a year, and to divide the surplus into three equal portions be tween the children of his brother Joseph, of his brother! Colonel Philip Bainbrigge, and of his sister Mrs. James. I On the 3d of February, 1809, the child by the coach man was born, and was named Marianne. Though ex - 1 asperated by his daughter's conduct, he allowed her and; her child to remain in the house, and even took a fancy!' to the child. But the daughter offended him again. i There was a farmer in the neighbourhood, named Ar-1 nold, who had given him offence by some dispute re-! specting game. This man's son made up to the daugh ter. When he heard of it he sent her out of the way, and positively prohibited any communication between them; .but she eluded his vigilance, proved pregnant, eloped with, and married Arnold. This made him l furious. He said he would have forgiven her if she had; married the coachman, but never would forgive her for: marrying Arnold, and vowed he would never speak to her, and that no child of hers by Arnold should ever in-, heritla penny of his money. Under these feelings he made another will on the 4th of August, 1812, whereby ho conveyed his estates to two trustees, of whom Mr. Blair, an attorney, of Uttoxeter, who had framed the former will, and being one of the trustees under it, was one, in trust, to secure to his granddaughter, instead of his daughter, to whom he left nothing, an estate for life, with remainder to her issue in tail, and in default of such issue, for sale and division amongst his nephews and nieces.. 01 the daughter he never took the slightest notice, and her name was not allowed to be mentioned by the servants. In 1815, he came to live in Green lane, Derby. Being still fond of racing and horses, he went in August to the Derby races, and was there thrown from his horse, and so severely injured in the head, that be was supposed to be dying. He was immediately bled, and drastic medicines were given to reduce the inflammation. His daughter then made several attempts to see him; but he would not see her, saying he knew her object was to get his money; and that if she wanted his forgiveness she had it, but if she wanted his money she should not have a penny of it. When he was reco vering from these injuries be sent for Mr. Blair, who was at that dine one of the most eminent and respectable solicitors in Staffordshire, to make alterations in his will. That gentleman came at once, and lest anything should happen before a formal will could be drawn up, he at once prepared a codicil, on the 11th of August, 1815, to the will of 1812. By that will he had left his estates, in default of issue to his granddaughter, t his nephews and nieces generally; but by _this codicil he kir—them to Thomas Parker Bainbrigge, the eldest son of his eecond brother, in fee simple for ever. Mr. Blair caused a more formal will to be executed on the 15th of August. By that will, after directing the payment of an annuity of 4001. a year to his sister, Mrs. James, and of 501. io Mrs. Arnold for her life, and making provision for the education of his granddaughter, be left to her his estates for life, with remainder in tail to her issue, and in default of such issue to Thomas P. Baitibrigge, the lessor of the plaintiff, for ever. 'There was a direction in it, as in the will of 1803, that her husband should assume the name of Bainbrigge, and another as to the legacy to be paid to Mrs. Arnold. She was not to reside in Staffordshire or Derbyshire, and not to interfere in any way with the care and custody of her child, who was entrusted entirely to Mrs. Blair, that lady herself being left an annuity of 1001. a year for life in consideration of her attention to the child. More over, the annuity to Mrs. Arnold was not to come into effect until the existing lease to the Arnolds should ex pire, a nd neither Arnold nor his wife , nor h i s f at her, nor an uncle of his named Wood, was to hold any lands but those they then held. Such was the offence given by that fatnily, and so deeply aid it rankle in his breast. The provision for the child's education was ample, and .howed what consideration be then bestowed upon it. Allowing, besides the annuity to Mrs. Blair for her ge neral superintendence, 200/. a year to be applied to her education till she was 151. and 3001. till she was 21. This was the will of 1815, on which the lessor of the plaintiff took his stand, and claimed the estst-s. Marianne was now dead, and the last of her children died in 1345; and the issue in that lino being extinct, the question now arose who was entitled to them. Mr. 'l'. I'. Bainbrigge said that in default of the issue of Marianne the estates came to him. That the testator was sane in 1815 would be proved beyond question. At that time he mixed in society, kept his house in order, his servants in livery; was in the habit of going out to dinner; was distin guished by activity and intelligence as a magistrate, his manners were polished, his language refined, and ho was in every respect a highly-educated gentleman. He had always a slight tendency to iceeccentrity and irritability, which greatly increased after ho ac cident at Derby races, end was aggravated much by habits of living high, and drinking a great deal of liquor. Wine and spirits never made bins drunk, but excited his irritability. At the close of 1815 he removed from Green-lane, Derby, to another street called Osmanston-street. From that time a material change was observed in his habits, from Which it was clear that his mind was utterly gone. His dress was so neglected that he became a marked character. His clothes were filthy and unclean, old and covered with lice, and such as a beggar would not pick off a scarecrow. He never washed himself, and the stench from him was intolerable; his stockings were in holes; his coat out at the elbows; his trousers broken. Ile sometimes had a garter en one leg and none on the other; his hat was such as the boys put on Guy Fawkes, and altogether his appearance was such that the boys used to follow him through the streets of Derby, crying out "Mad Bainbrigge." His house was in keeping with his person —dirty, filthy, filled with vermin of all kinds, and alto gether of a most wretched and revolting description. When he rode out in his carriage it was unwashed and uncleaned and covered with the dirt of the fowls which roosted in it. His horses were not groomed, and he took any of his farm labourers, without any change of dress, to drive it. He once drove into Derby with a man who had been just driving a dung cart, and in the very dress in which he had driven it. He used to crouch so near the fire that his coat tails were burned off. He used to go to buy his own fish and meat, and was once met in the streets of Derby with fish covered with blood hanging out of his coat pockets. He was once seen bringing home a slaughtered ox on the top of his carriage. A no th er time he brought ho me a calf's head and pluck on the bow of his saddle. Be wore a flannel waistcoat from March to July without once washing it, and when re monstrated with on the subject, he said washing would spoil flannel. He once made his labourers sit out in the midst of a storm of hail and rain to make hay, a n d when a coach passed by, and the passengers shouted out " Are ye mad?" the men answered, "It is not we that are mad, hut our master." He once suddenly ga ve directions to dispossess all his tenants in the streets of Derby, though they did not owe him a penny of rent, and actually ejected every one of them without any reason whatever but sonic wild fancy of his own. 110 went to the funeral of a friend, a Mr. Richard Rid cllesden, and some accident occurring which made his horse restive, he swore at his coachman, and wished him "in hell with old Dick," the friend whom he was going to bury. When he had some friends at dinner once, the servant brought hint a cold plate. He ordered him to keep it at the tire till he called for it, and when he did, and the man brought it, it burned hi s (Mr. Bainbrigge's) fingers; and thereupon he seized a r oast goose t h at was on t h e t a ble by the legs, and flung it after the man, and cursed and swore at him, and leieked him out of the room. In 1817 a lady went up with his granddaughter " Marianne into his budrueen, and there saw a bottle of brandy and a bottle of gin, and the poker and tongs on a chair near his bed; and he told her on several oc cas i ons th the kept them there to pro tect him against th e devil. He used to mutter frequently ito hmself, " I must go to thedevil, but I am not ready departed, yet. All religious feeling and he cursed and _.. _ ~ AUGUST 1, 1850, ;4.1 Vasphetned in a most frightful manner—in such a um hp r i s o o g f ra o r f: d t d h a i this g t h h t a n n r h i‘ e t change a riann. i n nor that no one could do u bt t h at he we t i n a s tate of complete mental aberrati on .

So long as he had women servants they remon strated az,:dnst course of education for the child, nut he only laughed end enjoyed it, saying, " She was a chip of the old block." A crowd havrig begun to tare at them one day at Buxton, she said she would give them a salute, and turned up her clothes and, looking back to the multitude, slapped fur hand on a portion of her body that delicate women were no: in the habit of ex posing. Once she filled the hollow of a board for playing trao.b.ll with hot water, and sp u rted up bejaveen the legs of a servant girl an dC severely scalded her, and the old man laughed heartily, and said, " Well done, you young —." Such were the tricks she played, ana the language she used was such that women were not al ' lowed in court while her expressions were &tailed. They created many a laugh in court; but still many of them were of a most shocking kind, and atteh . as the most precocious depravity could not, without education for the purpose.conceive. He became so violent to his ser vants that none could stop with hies. Once, when one of them in his awkwardness let a salt-cellar fall near him, he flung a carving -knife at hint, and it strutlethe the'door behind the man. The witaeisi who detailed this admitted that the 'salt- ce ll ar f e ll nea r his gouty toe, and that the man was at the other side ,of the door when the knife struck it.

Even when they did not offend him he often wantonly attacked them. One day he came into tho kitchen,. found a servant toasting bread, and bending down with her back to him, 'and he stole up to her, and stuck a fork with all his strength into her posteriors, and then ran our, and she did not recover for a month. When he' drove out in his car riage he took his gun with him, and once threatened to shoot the man who was driving for taking the wrong road, and she man jumped off and ran away from him. One servant, to whom he was violent and threatening, once or twice locked him up for an hour or two till he promised to be better, and then let him out, and they then had some drink. Another one took up a saucepan of boiling water and threatened to throw it on him, and he fled from the kitchen and kent down a glass of wine to make friends. He had 40 servants in a few months, as none would stop with him for more than a few days. At length no woman ser vant would remain at all, nor would he keep any, or allow them to cook his food, assigning the filthiest rea sons for it, and then he was obliged to employ his farm servants to do all the domestic duties, clean the house, milk the cows, prepare his breakfast and dinner, make his bed and that of the child, and even to undress and put her to bed at night, and dress her again in the morning. He took it in his head that meat was never so good as when it was full of maggots, and he used to keep it till it got into that state. and even once bought 4 cwt. of putrid meat, though he had only in his family one servant, besides himself and granddaughter. He once broke off a sale of four sheep to a butcher on ac count of a difference as to one quarter of a pound. He drank himself, and was liberal of drink to others, and not only to men, but to animals. And once, when a butcher came to kill a pig, after making the butcher drink as much as he could, he mixed the remainder of a bottle of gin in the wash fur the' pig, and made the pig drunk before it was killed. His pockets were generally full of notes land gold; and he once gave a servant a pocketful of notes to bet at a cock fight, and the next day charged him with robbing him. One sign of madness was a great concentration of intel ligence on some points; and so no ma n was more shrewd in his dealings with tradesmen , a nd nothin g p leased him more than defrauding any one of money. If his labourers allowed him to fall into arrears of wages, they found it difficult to get them. A tradesman went one day to ask for a debt, and he threatened told a bulldog loose at him till the man ran away. He bought ducks 3f a woman, and gave her a bad balferown; and, when she ca me back to complain, he so cursed, anti swore , and threatene d, that she fled in terror from him. He fancied that a connexion of his, a Mr. Burrows, who lived in Derby, and was a most inoffensive gentleman, had entered into a plot to annoy him; and wrote a letter stating this to his sister, Mrs. James, on the 25th of May, 1818, as his reason fir leaving Derby fur ever. lie fancied he had communica tions with the devil, and used sometimes to order his bedroom door to be kept shut, in order to keep the devil out; and sometimes his windows to be left open, in order be, at liberty to go our. Fie f the devil, saying we that ha at the devil aae toistinartmo.• he knew he should go to bell, but would not wait long there. In 1817 he went to the Derby races in his carriage, a men driving it who had a whiap of straw around his hat, himself and his grandchild covered with rags, and his footman in a similar manner. Everybody noticed him, and there was a cry of " Mad Bainbrigge." He wished to run a favourite chestnut mare, which had been just taken off grass and had not been trained. He had no jockey for it, and he engaged a man from the crowd, who rode in his shirt. The man asked for orders; the answer was, " Oh, never mind;" but the horse could not run a yard, atad of course lost, and when the man asked for payment, ho refused to pay him, as he had not ridden according to his orders, which orders were, " Get first—keep first." Shouts of laughter from the crowd followed, in the midst of which he got into his carriage and made off. The witness who came to speak to this fact said the horse was well trained, and came in third out of five that ran. He had a stallion which used to break out of a paddock in which it was kept, and get to mares when people did not want him to do so; he therefore put him into a stable with a large loose box. The horse got lame, and so indignant was he, that he sat in judgment on him, sentenced him to seven years' transportation, and then committed it to imprisonment and solitary confinement. The horse was accordingly kept in partial darkness, with no straw to lie on, and only as much hay and water as would keep life in him, and at the end of four months, when he was almost starved to death and had dung up to his belly, and the servants told the master be was all but dead, she answer was, " Well, he is lust alive:--keep him so; he has not served out his time.' r In May, 1818, he left Derby to reside at his house at Woodseat. This, too, was overrun with vermin, large and small, and when a serv ant comp l a i ne d th a t t he rats l s were so numerous that t h e place was lik e a rabbit warren,te wa s library, he said h e wou ld by no means h ave t h em killed; they were his n h e a s r t e ld s e an o d n trhaebbsiheve of The h ho e u s ts game, and he preferrcd them to i n w a hi m eh ost con fo ta rl i o n r e n d condition; the windows were broken, and the pigeons some most valuable books, and on being remonstrated with about it, he said it was a good place for the pigeons. The kitchen -garden was so neglected that it was impos sible to get at the fruit without cutting one's way through a tangled maze of weeds. He used to drink excessively; but liquor made him not drunk, but road and furious. He used to have a bottle of brandy with a glass laid every night by his bedside. So things con tinued till the Saturday befare his death, June 13, 1818. On that day he went to Draycott, and drank a great deal—at least a quart of brandy—saying it would be good for his gout. do got home to Woodseat on Sunday night. Oa the Monday he got up, but about midday was put to bed in his clothes, and in those clothes he lingered from Monday till the Saturday, when he died. On the Monday there was but one servant in the house—a man named Hoe. He sent for a Dr. Hawthorn, of Uttoxeter, who was a friend of the Arnolds. They were of course anxious to know in what state he was, and if possible to fiffset a reconciliation; but so great was his hatred of them, that if ho knew any of them were about his house it would drive him wild; and, therefore, though Arnold came to the house, he never once went into his room. Arnold secured an interview with Hawthorn. Mr. Blair was sent for, and on Wednesday, the 17th of June, he prepared a codicil, altering altogether the pro visions of the will of 1815. This document substituted for his nephew, Mr. T. P. Bain brigge, ' the proper representative of -the Bain brigge family, the sons o f his daughte r. Mrs. Arnold, and got rid of the an nuity to Mrr. James. This codicil was attested by Roe, one John Allen, a labourer about the house, and a Mr. Alsop, an apothecary, who was in distressed circumstances, and the mere creature of Mr. Blair. On the next day Blair brought a formal will; and got the old dying man to execute it, and got it attested by Allen, who knew little or nothing of the testator, and a Sirs. Haw kins u also, who was the w if e o f a farmer, and also knew nothing of him, and by Dr. Fox. It Would be proved that at the time he executed the will he was totally insensible, and incapabl e of knowing what he was doing.- The wife of Allen, d be ing i n a consump tion, was examined a' a witness d e i s n s uhnereersaam"Tisnsiotnakfonr perpetuating testimony, a Aunder the full 1 1" W I tnow edge, as under that commission, she expressly stated, t hat she was a dying woman, she from the Monday till his said that the testator was, and unconscious of, hat death, totally insensible t n , ° el expressl refused two w ap was passing around him; a to ace y la . replying to plications from his daughters them by a murmur o f refusal, accompanied with a deep her 1 usband, William Arnold, groaning; and that was about the house by st ealth, and was not seen by the de ceased. One circums ta ne e connected with th e l as t w ill was almost conclusi ve. No on e . hut BI • air and the tes tator knew of any former wills.. It was, therefore, im portant fur Blair and his associates to draw up the formal will withou t referring to previou s w ill s. Ac cordingly Blair ha stened the to Utto xeter, and set hi s c l er k s to work, and blan ks furmost important provisions were left, filled up till w hi c h were not af ter the testa- tor's death. That w ill was in most respects con f orma bl e to the codicil. I t containe d the same provisi ons as t h e f orme r will, with respectt?.th eArnolds having n o thi ng to do with balding an y of lands. It increased Mrs. Arnold's tuinuity to iIOOL year year daring her husbaud'o life, and 3001. afterwards, and, should Marianne end her isstiefail, Id. his estates to his daughter's (Mrs. Arnold's) six sons in succession, with 1,3001. each to the younger children; and in case all should die without issue , th en to his own right heirs forever. It conta,iced the satneprovi sions as to Mrs. Blair and the education of Martanne. It also contained a provision that during the minority of his granddaughter Mr. Blair should have his choice of any of his three mansions and the sole and exclusive right of sporting, shooting, and fishing over all his estates. There were three trustees, Hawthorn, Wove!, and Blair; Blair, being a solicitor, knew that he would have virtually the exclusive maneg'ement of the pro perty, and knew further that if, on the death of the granddaughter, the will of 1815 came into operation, the 13ainbritiges could at once manage their own ainirs, whereas in the event of Mrs. Arnold's ehildren coming into possession he would have the whole ma nagement of the property during a long succes sion of minorities. The new will, therefore, was very advantageous to him, and consequently the great object seas to get rid of Mr. Thomas P. Bainbrigge and Mrs. James, and to substitute the Arnold& The moment the breath was out of his body his coffers were ransacked by the three trustees, in a manner which produced a strong impression on the son of Dr. Fox, who was then a young man, and would. be called before the Court. Dr. Fox unfortunately was dead. and had not been examined un der a commission, Mr. Blair taking care that the commis sioners should not come to examine him till it was too late to do so. Another suspicious circumstance. connected with thiS will was that the parties who concocted it, though they professed to be religious men, did not send for a clergyman to console the dyint , man, and smooth his path from earth to heaien, though they knew he had lived a life of sensual enjoyment, and had for years.neg lected his religious duties. Neither had they sent for any of his relatives, though they all lived in the neigh bourhood. His brother John lived within five miles, his sister, Mrs. James, at Bath, and the widow of his brother Philip within eight miles of him. No notice of his illness was sent to them, and when his two nephews, General and Colonel Bainbrigge, called on the Tuesday to see him they were not admitted to see him; and his brother John, on , calling on the Saturday, was refused admission also, and was obliged to force his way into the room, and found him dying. Immediately after his death Mr. Blair wrote to Mrs. James and Mr. Peter Bainbrigge, in forming them of that event, and of the disposal of the property away from the family, and not alluding to the former wills. After the funeral the family asked to see the will. Mr. Blair at first said he had it not with him but would send to Uttoxeter for it. It was soon forth coming, and they sat down to read it, the members of the family sitting round in a circle, and Mr. Blair sit ting in the middle of the room with the will before him in such a position that no one could overlook him. Ge neral Bainbrigge, whether through restlessness or curi osity, stood up, and placed himself near Mr. Blair. Mr. Blair shifted too. The General shifted again, and, peeping over Mr. Blair's shoulder, saw a large gap at the bottom of the second page in blank, and in the other pages large spaces and chasms, pencil writings in the margin, and pencil interlineations in several places. He caught his cousin Joseph Mulkey Bainbrigge's eye, who thereupon came into his position, but saw nothing wrong. Perhaps at that moment Mr. Blair had got over the material parts, and on the re• maining pages there were no blanks, pencil-marks, or interlineations. Unfortunately, at that tirne General Bainbrigge was on bad terms with his uncle Joseph, who was the heir to the testator; he had no interest in the matter, and he was going to join his regiment, and thought no more of it. Tho General, after many years had elapsed, on return from foreign service, went to Doctor's-commons, found the blanks filled in, and the pencilsmarks and interlineations removed, and he would swear that, that will was not the will he saw in Mr. 131 sir's hands;‘ and one strong confirmation of his recol lection was, that all the will was in the handwriting of Mr. Blair's clerk, with the exception of a space at the bottom of the second page, which contained two provi sions, giving Mr. Blair his choice of ono of the man sions, and the exclusive right of sporting. So perfect and shipshape was the will which the General saw at Doctors'-commons, and so different fcom that which he saw in Blair's hands, that he believed that several fresh sheets must have been substituted for those which he had seen; and, in confirmation of this. it was to be remarked that the "T. B." on some of the sheets were written in a very different hand from that which made the tremulous signature on others. In a short time after the testator's death Mr. Blair, who professed great regard and friendship for the heir-at-law, adopted an ingenious plan for preventing the will being disputed. There was a family mansion at Derby which Mr. J. Bainbrigge, the heir at-law, wished to secure in the family. Mr. Blair knew this. There was a debt of -1,5001. or 1,6001. due from the testator to his brother Joseph, which the latter did not like to enforce, lest he might offend him, and it became consequently barred by lapse of time. Blair saw that this was a good opportunity of getting the heir-at-law to confirm the wil', and entered into a correspondeace with him for this purp 'se, getting him to confirm the will on the terms of the trnstees selling him the mansion for the amount of the debt, and setting off the debt against the price. Blair, in that cor respondence, artfully warned him that this purchase would afterwards prevent him from disputing the will, but told him at the same time that it would be useless to attempt to upset the last will on the ground of in sanity, unless he could prove that he wos insult) and incapable of making a will for the preceding thirty years of his life, as he (Mr. Blair) had got wills in his pos session, prepared by himself and others, leaving the property away from the family. Mr. Joseph Bain brigge fell into the trap, and executed a deed of confirmation of the will, the trustees agreeing to convey the house to him. This conveyance they had not yet made, and in connexion with this there was a remarkable interlineation its the will. There was n pro vision in the will to enable the trustees to sell some estates for the purpose of paying debts. The provision, as it stood in the text of the will, did not include this house, and, singularly enough, the words, " and my estates in Derbyshire" were interlined, and the "'l'. B." against this interlineation in the margin was written in a very different hand from all the other " T. B.'s" in the will. Subsequently a bill was filed for a speeitio per formance of ttie agreement to convey. Marie nne, at the age of sixteen, ran off to Gretna Green with the son of Alsop, the apothecary, was married, had two children, and filed a bill against Mr. Blair in order to establish the will. A suit was instituted by Mr. Blair to perpetuate testimony. Marianne and children passed off the scone, and her line became extinct. Blair became bankrupt, and new trustees were substituted; and finally the Court of Chancery directed this ejectment to be brought, in order to try the validity of this will. As it would be impossible to give all the evidence in detail within a reasonable compass, we state the effect of those portions of it that were not controverted, and lay the rest before the reader. The execution of the will and codicil of 1815 was proved by the survivor of the three attesting witnesses, who seemed not to have known much previously of the testator. Mr. Thomas Frost,'now a merchant in Liverpool, for merly a pupil to a Mr. Hadley, a surgPon, of Derby, proved that on the Bth of August, 1815, ho saw Mr. Ihinbrigge fall heavily from his horse on his head, on the race-course at Derby. He immediately ran to him, and bled him. He was under treatment from the Bth to the 26th of August, and then went t) his country seat. When he left he was in full possession of his mental faculties. Mr. D. Fox, the son of Dr. Fox, surgeon at Derby, had known the testator from 1815. Observed a gradual change in his dress, manners, and equipage. Mot him at dinner several times at his (the testator's) house, and at his father's (Dr. Fox's) house, ald thought he was of unsound mind. ;Mr. A. Fox, another son of Dr. Fox, was assistant in 1818 to his father. Knew the testator when he lived in Derby. Thought him not capable of making a will at any time during his stay in Osmanston-street. Went with. his father on the Wednesday afternoon to see the testator. , He was in a state of great exhaustion. Did not utter a single propoition of any kind whatever, ex cept when he wanted something to be brought to him. Ho gradually got worse. On Thursday he was worse. Sat up part of that night with him. He was a dying man, in a state of collapse. He never uttered a single idea, but in a nervous sleepy way would say, if he wanted a sheer or anything. " move it." Saw him re peatedly on Friday. He got worse and worse, and was treated as Relying man in a state of exhaustion. . From Wednesday till his death there were periods when there was a sort of sense. On Thursday it was quite out of the creation that he could understand a long will. Saw Mr. Blair there on Thursday. Was not in and out of the room when Mr. Blair was with him. Mr. Blair and Mr. Alsop began to search the place for money the mo ment he was dead. Dr, Munro, Dr. Connolly, and Dr. Forbes Winslow were examined to show want of cleanliness, carelessness of dress, profane swearing, in a person of advanced years, were symptomatic of declining intellect. Adam Roe, a labourer, who was the only servant in the testator's house when he became mortally ill, and who spoke to his eccentricities, gave the following ac count of his last days and the will scene. The testator drank a good deal of brandy on the Sunday end Mon: day; be went to bed in the afternoon of Monday, and witness took off his shoes that thy and his coat the next, and left on his other clothes till ho died. Went on the Tuesday for Mr. Hawthorn, and brought him. Saw him and Arnold often together. It was on the Thursday, he thought he was sent lor Mr. Blair, about nine or ten in the morning. Had a letter for him from 1)r. Hawthorn. Afterwards saw Also p there; Alsop, Hawthorne, and A rno ld met Mr. Blair a t the back door, and they talked together. Saw Mr. Blair writing in a room leading to the squire's. The g s nire was then insensible. Wh en M r. Bl a i r asked a question he only gave a sort of groan. Mr. Blair brought him paper and read it over and asked him if it was right? The answer was only a groan. Mr. Blair brought in another part of the paper and asked the same question, and there was another groan and no other answer. Witness was at the bed-side attending the squire, and would have beard any other answer if it had been given. This was repeated three times. The three papers seemed to be like written papers. The answer the third time was a groan too. Then Mr. Blair took a pen and dipped it in the inkstand. There were then present Mrs. Rawlins, a farmer's wife, who lived near to John Allen, a wheelwright. When Mx. 131 Air . 4 C -- fPR IC E SD. dipped the pen in the inkstand, he put it in the squire's hand, and he put his hand under the squire's arm, and the quiro wrote something. Alien signed the paper. Witness put his mark to it. This was the first paper that was signed. Thought Dr. FOX came on Wednesday. Mrs. Arnold came to the house many times after the squire took to his bed, but not with his knowledge. She did not go into his room. Mr. Arnold asked witness Ims-era' times to be allowed to go in. He went to the door once. He darst not aglow him to go in. Ile peeped at the squire in b: d. Saw Mrs. Arnold in conversation with Mr. Blair, Mr. Hawthorn, and Mr. Alsop on one occasion, and with one or more of them fr:quently. Two of :he squire's nephews came and were retused admission; his brother, Captain John Bainbrigge, came on the Friday or the Saturday. The little girl denied his coming up stairs; he forced his wsy, and went to his brother's bed-room, who took no notice of hilt:. The captain cried over him, and asked him whether he would not speak to his brother Johb. The squire did not know him, and took no notice at all of him. The captain remained three-quarters of an hour. None of his relations were sent for during his last illness. They did not want his relations - to come. lie died about half-past two in the afiernoon of Satur day. As soon as he was deal Mr. Blair, Mr. hawthorn, and Mr. Alsop began to work right and left. and began. tumbling. •On the squire's death Mr. Arnold was placed in authority. _ _ Cross-examined—Always considered him a madman —a dangerous madman. He was insensible from Mon day; incapable of making his will or doing any busi ness. Was not able to speak after Thursday; then ceased to. speak. •Up to that time was continually cursing. Saw Mr. Blair dip the pen in the ink, put the pen in Mr. Bainbrigge's hand and guide it. Supported it while he wrote. alr. Blair held Mr. Bainbrigge's hand below the wrist. Mr. Bainbrigge was at that time in sensible and speechless. Mary Roe, the wife of the above, was examined under a commission from the Court of Chancery, for the pur pose of perpetuating testimony, and having since died her deposition was now read. She stated that on the testator being taken ill she was sent for to attend him, and that he lay in- a dying and apparently unconscious 'state from the Monday till the_ Saturday. During• all that time she never heard him speak coherently, and he was incapable of holding any conversation, and when spoken to answered only by groaning. That he was crouched up in his bed, and was continually groaning as if in great pain, and remained from the Monday till his death in a state of insensibility, or apparent in sensibility, to all that was passing, and during all that time ho was incapable of making a will or transacticg any worldly business. It was proved by Colonel Bainbrigge that when he and his brother called on the Tuesday, the little girl Marianne and a woman met them, and the woman said the old gentleman was two ill to be seen. Major-General Sir Thomas Bainbrigge—Am Com mander of the Belfast Division, son of the late Colonel Philip Bainbrigge. He was the youngest brother of the testator, and was killed in action in Holland. Saw uncle Thomas in 1815, in the spring. Dined with him. In June left that part of the country. In 1818 was in the country again, and heard of uncle's illness. Went to see him with my brother. Was not admitted. On the Thursday before his death sent up my own card and wrote my brother's name upon it. Saw a female servant and the little girl Marianne, and the answer I received was that Mr. Bainbrigge was too ill to see anybody. Was again there on the Monday. Went over again with my mother, my wife, my sister Mrs. H. Dale, and my brother, Mr. Peter Le Hunt. We were admitted into the house. Mr. Arnold was the master of the house. Immediately after the funeral we made application to Mr. Blair to see the will. Mr. Blair, Mr. Arnold, my uncle Joseph, my cousin Joseph, and myself were there. He said, " The will is not hero ; it is at Ht. toxeter." We desired that it should be sent for im mediately. He said it should be sent for by a man on horseback. In about an hour the will was produced. It was brought by Mr. Blair into the room where we four were assembled. The table was in the middle of the room, and we wore all standing up. Mr. Blair had the will in his hand, and came in, accompanied by Dr. Fox, and said, " Now, gentlemen, if you will take your seats I will read the will." We all sat down, and made a point of sitting so as to see Mr. Blair, who sat a.k the table with his back to the door. Mr. Blair began to read the will. After he had read a page I got up and went to look over him. I came up to his right shoulder, on which he, who had the will before him on the table, put forward his shoulder and head, as if to prevent me from looking at the will. I immediately shifted my ground, and came round to the left shoulder. He 'did not attempt to interpose between me and the will then. I had a full view of it. Ile continued reading. It appeared to me an incomplete document. 1 raw a great many pencil marks in the body of the will— , interlim ations. I saw pencil writings in the margin. There were several long lines of interlineations in the body of the will, and gaps and openings, as I conceived to be tilled up, at some future period. Saw several such openings. On one page, at the bottom, there was a good deal nt space. Saw a large opening at the bottom of the .second page. He read while I was looking over him — perhaps, two piges. Ile had read one before I got, op. lle read, ray a page and a half, before I beckoned to icy cousin Hankey, who is now dead. He came immediately, and stood behind Mr. Illair's right-hand shoulder. I remained a little time. Saw another ra.4e or two turned over, and resumed my sent. All the pages I saw had some interlineations, arid there were Weeks in every page. I made no remark. Young Joseph Ilanku Bainbrigge stood over Mr. Blair all the time he read. At that time, unfortunately, I was not on speaking terms with my uncle Joseph, who was the next brother of the testator. John was next to Joseph. My uncle Joseph had then several children, and my father was dead, my mother alive, and had eight children, in nar row circumstances. My aunt, Mrs. James, had seine seven or eight children, and was not in affluent circum stances. Afetr the funeral I went to Liverpool, end did riot return to that part of the country for two or three years. Went af;erwards to Doctors'-commona to see the will. It was not in the same state as when I had seen it in Mr. Blatr's hands. My nephew, the plaintiff, was, at the time of the funeral, in India, and did not re turn till 1823. 'Cross-examined—lt was ten years after the funeral I I went to see the will. I was on speaking terms with my cousin Joseph Hankey Bainbrigge. Mr. Blair was I aware that I was overlotking him. By several blanks I mean to say that I saw two or three blanks in each page and a large blank in the second page at the bottom. Some were shorter, some larger. Some were us long as a line and a half. Made no observation to Mr. Blair. I went to see the will, in order to see in what state it was atter it had been proved. It was in quite a different state. I could not recognise pencil marks in it. It seemed to me as if some leaves had been taken out and others put in. I recognised the traces of pencil marks in the margin, and could not see any in the body of the will. They must have been very well rubbed out. I mentioned the appearance of the will at once to John Baiabrigge, the brother of the testator, and the brother of Joseph. It was the subject of our conversation. John was on specking terms with his brother Joseph. I mentioned the subject to the members of my family, to my uncle John as I was riding home, and to my cousin, Thomas Parker Bainbrigge. Re-examined (the will was put into his bands)—l be lieve firmly that the parts in the second page in another handwriting were not there when I saw the will after the funeral. The lines there now occupy the blank space that was there when I ;air the will. The case for the defendant was, that the testator was a man who restrained himself in company, but at home and in private indulged in those passions and habits which he .formed at an early age, and at a period when society was in a very different state to what it is at pre sent, when those habits of drinking and swearing were not confined to any particular class, but. pervaded those higher classes in which his position entitled him to move. From the earliest period he bad been slovenly in dress, and eccentric and violent, and' especially ad dicted to wreak his anger on his domestics; but no man was more shrewd in matters of business. He was a most active and intelligent magistrate, and in one respect in advance of most other magis trates of his period, generally making all his ma gisterial business returnable at petty sessions instead of hie own house. None of his brother m agistra t es perceived any alteration in his mental powers, and up to the last moment he was as intelligent as' ever. A gentleman named John Salt, of Ultoxeter, who knew. bim f0r.40 years, and had often dined with him at his own house and his (testator's) houses, deposed that his habits for some time before his death were not only as cleanly as those of other gentlemen of his station, but that he was of sound mind and understanding. Mark Anthony White, Esq., a magistrate of Stafibrd shire, deposed to the fact that no one could behave with greater propriety than the testator, and fulfilled the du ties of a magistrate very well within the two last years of his life, and certainly after the fall. Several tenants and neighbouring farmers, collectors of taxes, and others, spoke also to his sanity and good management of his bu siness. Mr. Whiston, solicitor in Derby, said he wen eccentric, but a perfect man of business; that in 1816 he tranafteted some business with him. Part of it was to eon vt.y the equity of redemption of a house in Derby. and he managed it with acuteness and discrimination. Another witness, a farmer, said he was a little rough sometimes, but very sensible. A great mass of correspondence between him and va rious parties with whom he had dealings up to a very short period of his death was read. to show that there was not the slightest difference in his style before and after 1815, and that to tne last he was in all his busi uess transactions as pert', etly shrewd and sane as any man could be, and certainly the correspondence was such as no person need be ashamed of. Up to June 12, 1818, a f•av days before his death, he kept a regular diary of all his proceedings', and there all his payments were entered, even the visit of friends, and every fact of which it was important he should have a memoran dum. In these diaries entries were found to correspond with the facts stated by some of the witnesses; but it was intimated from the other side that the witnesses had pre viously_beard of the entries. One fact connected with these diaries was noticed as very material by biaLord ship. There were twelve of these books, and he allowed the Solicitor-General to take them h ome on Saturday night, so that he might, after his devotions sumo entri e s look through them, and find out if possible me to threw light on the subject of PcltUrYi but , though that Learned Gentleman bad them so long is - r;/'possession, he made no reference to them. T e t i S considered a strong argument against hie insanity. From these circuinstalices it was contended, that the accident in 1815 would bare produced no such effect On him as the plaintiff pretended. As to Merl anne's practices, her unfortunate habits appeared to be the result of her position—she was thrown amongst depraved servants, and acquired from them, and not from. the testator, those habits and expressions deposed to by the witnesses. From the earliest period the testator was bent on securing to himself the power of disposing of his. property away from his family. His father was not dead a fortnight when he barred the entail. He never seemed to have been quite de'ermined for any length of time as to how he should dispose of the ultimate re mainder of his estates. It was said that it was idle to pra tend now that he was insane from ISIS to his death. His family were living i❑ his immediate neighbourhood. Why, then, not sue out a commission of lunacy against. him? This was a strong proof that this pretence of his. insanity was totally unfounded. But the fact of his eldest brother and heir-at-law confirming the will, ads !slitting that it was duly executed, and that the testator was of sound mind and memory, and restraining himself from ever disputing it. was conclusive. Of the twelve persons who were present at the last scenes of this gentle man's life, ten by theiroatha and acts ratified this will. What motive had all these people for entering into this conspi racy ? Mr. Blair wee et the time of this allegedcrime,it was admitted by the Solicitor-General, one of:the meet emi nent and respectable solicitors its the county. He had through a long series of years enjoyed the confidence oE Mr. Bainbrigge, and would he sacrifice reputation, posi tion, asd all that was dearest for the sake of having an exclusive right of sporting, instead of a share with two others? What did Alleu and Rawlins gain by their machinations? Again, it was said that the testator never forgave Arnold; that was not so. A short time before his death, old Arnold, who had first given him offence, had died, and his executors bad locked up e gate against the testator; and young Arnold, the hus band of his daughter, had broken off the lock. Tbis pleased him; he sent for Arnold, and spoke kindly to him, and saw him on several occasions. There was no pretence for saying Mr. Blair gained anything by this will which could induce him to commit the complication of crimes imputed to him by the plaintiff. There was not the slightest reason for supposing that there was any blank in it when it was read after the funeral. Not a letter of it had been altered since it was signed. It was seen before the funeral by Mr. Rush ton, solicitor of Uttexeter, who was then an articled clerk to Mr. Blair, and he would prove that it was now in the same state it was then, and that he, before the funeral, made out two copies—one of which he would produce to the jury. Mr. Rushton did speak positively to these circnmstances; but in cross-examination by the Solicitor-General he was not able to swear that the &my which was now handed to him was one of those two which he - bad made before the funeral, or that a third copy had not been made. It was, therefore, contended that General Bainbrigge must be mistaken in what he fancied he saw at the funeral. Wm. Arnold himself swore that during his father's life the old man never spoke to him; that his father died in 1817; that his exe cutors had a dispute with the testator about a right of way. They locked up the gate, which made him angry. Ile (Arnold) knocked off the lock, and soon afterwards received a message from the testator to call and see him. He went. They spoke about the lock, and the old man was pleased, and desired him to have some drink, which be declined. He had been long anxious to cut down some trees on his (Arnold's) farm, but his father would not allow him. Meeting him soon again, be (W. Arnold) told him he might cut them, and this also pleased him, and he said witness might have the loppings and hark; and they walked to his house together. He stopped an hour and bad some gin and water, and the old man said he was not one of those who would draw the sword and would never sheathe it. He said he would take care of his daughter, but would not leave her a shilling, and expressed no desire to see her. In cross examination this witness was asked when his wife died, and he was for a few moments puzzled for an answer, saying he did not know exactly, but at last saying it was in 1827 or 1828. Considering that she was the cause of all this litigation this answer created great surprise. In answer to further questions he answered as follows :—" I was not at the house, as I believe, during his last illness, except the last day. My wife die not go there ; she never saw him in bis illness. I always froni my marriage lived in a cottage given to me by testator, and not with my father. I now live upon some money I got with my second wife. I have no means of subsistence but what my son al lows me ; if the estate goes I will have no means of support. The next witness, however, who was called for the defendant, swore, on cross-examination, that she had seen him at testator's on the Monday or Tuesday of his last illness, and that the testator had frequently said, within a short time of his illness, " Martha Arnold should not have a penny of his money; that if his daughter had married the coachman she would have made a woman of herself; but that by marrying Arnold she proved herself en abandoned character." In sup port of the due execution of the codicil and will, which were treated throughout as substantially one transaction, a considerable body of evidence was given. The codicil, which was executed on the 17th June, was attested by Adam Re e, John Allan, and Mr. Alsop, and the will was attested by Dr. Fox, John Allen, and Mrs. Rawlins. Adam Pate was examined tier the pliintiff. Allen and Alsop considered testator of sound mind, memory, and understanding. Mr. Alsop, who bad been a surgeon and apothecary at Uttexeter, also deposed to the due exec ution of the codicil, and the perfect oompe tenon of the testator. His evidence was eougkt to to impeached on the ground that at the time he made triis reposition he was considerably iodated to Mr. 131 air, but said he had given him securities and was bankrupt, and wa, actually living, at the time of his ex amination, in one of the mansions selec , ed by Mr. Blair under the will. Dr. Fox was dead, and .14,1 not been rx atnined. Mrs. Alice Rawlins, the wi.e of Francis Raw line, swore that she was sent for on the Thursday to Woodscat. Went; saw the testator; that he was quite conscious and sensib e, and spoke to her and others. Asked her whether she could write. She said not well; and when he signed the will, said, " This is my last will and testement." lie also signed his initials. In cross examination her credit was impeached, on the ground that she and her husband had lac the farm of 90 acres they had held, as the agent behaved shabbily, and went to live at Leamington, and afterwards in Dtrbyshire; and about five years ago were brought back by the de fendant, and allowed a cottage ;and seven acres of land awl the grass of the cows, without an agreement as to rent till lust ) ear, when it was settled at 20 guineas, *mad also were allowed to draw a few smell sums of money occasionally from him, and had not settled the ac count. Mr. Thomas Salt, a surgeon at Huge ley, who was described by Lord Campbell, in his summing up to the jury, as a most re sve;:table witness, on whose statements they might rely, proved that he was apprenticed to Mr. Hawthorn in 1818, and that a message came from Mr. Hawthorn on Tuesday, the 16th of Jerre, to go to see Mr. Bain brigge; that Mr. 11 awthorit being at Birmingham, and the mentage pressing, he went himself aed saw him. He rues in bid, and very ill, but perfectly sensible. He visited him egain in tile evening; he was then sensible, and conversed about his illm ss and the symptoms. Ile saw him no more, as Mr. Hawthorn came home that night about twelve, and went at once to see him. He believed he was the first medical man who saw him. He made an entry of his visit in Dr. Hee thorn's book. John Mellor, a farmer, proved that on the night of the 16th June he was sent for to the testator and saw him in bad. He said he was very ill, very ill indeed, aid asked him if he would go to Derby for Dr. Fox; he was to start at twelve, and desired by the testator to lie down till that hour in tic room next to him, and he would call him in time. Ile did so, and gave him a note to Dr. Fox, aed desired him to ride his pory, and if Dr. Fox were not at borne to come through Uttoxeter and bring Dr. Flays thorn. This man's story, Lord Campbell, ih summing up, said was very probable, and the only mode of accounting for Dr. Fox's presence at the scene. The trnatee, Hawthorne, was dead. Mr. Blair, an attorney, practising at Uttoxetar for 53 years, knew testator since 1798. Employed him that year, after his father's death, to bar the entail. Was his confidential solicitor in 1808. Prepared the will of 1808. Had not then seen the will of 1803. Became very intimate with him. Ile was generally shabby in dress, but not very outrageous. At dinner parties he was dressed like a gentleman. lie was a careful man of business, and added to his patrimonial property by several purchases. When he was offended with his daughter for marrying he received instructions to prepare the will of 1812, While ha„was at Derby he had a purchase fur 6,000/. hanging over, and managed it well. Prepared the will of 1815 and the codicil to it. During his last illness he was called up in the night of the Wednesday, the 17th June, and rode over to him. He said he was very ill and wanted to make an alteration in his will. Received his instructions, and prepared the codicil immediately in an adjoining room. Read it over to him. He required several alterations to be made. They were accordingly made, and they now appear in it. In one of these ho (Mr. Blair) had limited the remainder to Mrs. A.'s heirs male, end be ordered " male" to he struck out. After it hail been altered he signed it. The codicil was only a temporary precaution. Went home to prepare a formal will, and did it by altering the will of 1818 in pencil, and adding clauses by way of rider. It was then engrossed. A blank was left at the bottom of the second page for this reason. In all former wills (said Mr. Blair) my co-trustees were not sportsmen. Both the new trustees were sportsmen, and I determined to ask Mr. B. what his wishes were on the subject, and he gave me directions pursuant to my wishes, when I took the will to him on the Thursday morning. His instruc tions ww - c that I should have the exclusive right of shooting over his estates during the minority of any tenant for life or entail, and the use of any of his houses, except Woodseat, for myself and his granddaughter, who was left under my care. I know of no other blank ui the will. having received the instructions mentioned I Wb?..i up the blank at the bottom of the second page.
