The Fouirra 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 report. which is too lengthy I,r publication : During the past year no claim: have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 6001. 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 Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of \ lay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop ,sals were made for 133 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. ed.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. Os. Sixteen Policies lapsed. representing 6,0481., upon which 329/. 3'. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums Since the c9mmencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. Gd. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. Gd., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 153. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1;183/. 11s. 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 l'Etang, 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. nettles both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving 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 prospects.

BAINBRIGGE V. BAINBRIGGE. The Solicitor-General (Mr. Cockburn), Mr. Alexan der, Q C.. and Mr. Gray appeared far the plaintiff; Mr. Keating, Q.C., Mr. Whitmore, and Mr. Pigot appeared for rho defendant. This case which occupied the attention of the Court from Thursday morning at 9 till half-past 11 at night, and from S on Friday to half-past eleven at night. and again from 8 on Saturday morning until half-past 11 at night, and from 9 yesterday morning till 11 at night, was brought to a close at 2 o'clock to-day. It was an action of ejectment to try the validity of a will made in 1818, the plaintiff, the heir at law, seeking to upset it o To p ri heeno t et w f(ei Ros; by air et g ort rryho,euTnsdhos Thomas anciente i i at n so s fra a llm n G i i t eli y n: eb rr a ai g n l ,g e d 7 f rawas was stot. The he this representa tive effect as opened s 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 father 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 heat on the bor ders of Sherwood Forest. This was about the year 1789. He had a servant there who was called Eliza beth Parker or Mrs. Betsey- 7 -a person of some attrac tions. She became pregnant. He believed himself the father of her child, a daughter, who was born in Sep tember, 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 education, sent her to the best board ing schools, and when her education was completed brought her to his seat at Woodseat, and introduced her as his acknowledged daughter into society, where she was very well received. In 1803, when she' was thirteen, and when he., was .-most- 'attached 'to her, he made his will,-.- leaving her his es t a t es for life, with remainder to her issue in tail; and in 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 ho 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. On the 3d of February, 1809, the child by the coach man was born, and was named Marianne. Though ex 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. There was a farmer in the neighbourhood, named Ar 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 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 herit a penny of his money. Under these feelings be made another will on the 4th of August, 1812, whereby he 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 ho 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. Of the daughter he never took the slightest notice, and her name was not allowed to be mentioned by the servants. In 1815, ho 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 he 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 he sent for Mr. Blair, who was at that time one of the most eminent and respectable solicitors in Staffordshire, to make alterationajn his will. That gentleman came at once, and lest anything should happen before a formal will could be drawn up, ho at once prepared a codicil, on the 11th of August, 1815, to the will of 1812. By that will he had left his vstatee, in default of issue to his granddaughter, t. 3 his nephews and nieces generally; but by this codicil he left them to Thomas Parker Bainbrigge, the eldest son of his second brother, in fee simple for over. Mr. Blair caused a more formal will to be elv , '_! , itod on the I.'ih of August. ry that will,. after 41a-feting the pipnent of an annuity ,'f .400/. a year t'. hi: ai.i ,, r, Aztr9. JarePs, u.zd of 51)4 to Mrs. Arnold fir her life, and trLikiur provision for t'e education of his granddaughter, he left to her his estates for life, with remainder in tail to her issue, and in default of such issue to Thomas P. Bainbrigge, 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 fur life in consideration of her attention to the child. More over, the annuity to Mrs. Arnold was not to come into effect until the existiug lease to the Arnolds should ex pire, and neither Arnold nor his wife, nor his father, nor an uncle of his named Wood, was to hold any lands but those they then held. Such was the offence given by that family, and so deeply did it rankle in his breast. The provision for the child's education was ample, and showed what consideration he then bestowed upon it. Allowing, besides the annuity to Mrs. Blair for her ge neral superintendence, 2001. a year to be applied to her education till she was 151. and COO/. till she was 21. This was the will of 1815, on which the lessor of the plaintiff took his stand, and claimed the estit's. Marianne was now dead, and the last of her children died in 1845; and the issue in that line being extinct, the question now arose who was entitled to them. Mr. T. I'. Bainbrigge said that in default of the issue of Marianne the estates b ca e m p e ro t v o ed him be . yo T nd ha q t u t e h s e ti te on s . tat A or t w th a a s t s t a i n m e e in he lB m ls ix w ed ou i l i d i 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 ware polished, his language refined, and he was in every respect a highly-educated gentleman. He had always a slight tendency to eccentricity and irritability, which greatly increased after the ac cident at Derby races, and was aggravated much by habits of living high, end drinking a great deal of liquor.

He 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 hint 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 than 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. Another time he brought home a calf's head and pluck on the bow of his saddle. He 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 m a ke hay , and when a coach passed by, and t he p assen g er s shouted t o h n a t t " a A r e m re-y a e d , directions to dispossess all his teriantsin the streets of m b a u d t ? o " u t r ile m men; ast master." answered, rcd' once suddenly gav e "It is not we Derby, though did not owe him a penny of rent, reason whateve but e wild fancy of his own.

All religious feeling departed, and he cursed and , b'asphemed in a most frightful manner—in such a msn iser that no one could doubt that he was in a state of complete mental aberration. There could bo no better proof of this than the change in his conduct respecting his granddaughter, Marianne. In 1815 ho had taken great precaution: for her proper education; but subse quently, so lost was he to all proper feeling, that ho taught her to curse and swear, and encouraged her in the most incredible obscenity, and in the use of language to which none but the most depraved could lisle'. So long as he had women servants they remon sbtusta t b e 4 d , o a n g l e y i i n a s u t g b t h e i d s a c n on i r s e e n j ( 0 , 3 f, e e t d i education t s i o „ ri , n fo g r . b c e h vr i l a d s , a chip of the old block." A crowd having begun to stare 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 her hand on a portion of her body that delicate women were not in the habit of ex posing. Once she filled the hollow of a board fir playing ltergase-ball a ball water, s w e i r t v h a h n o t t girland severely c aridspurateaideduit her and the the old man laughed h eart i ly, and said, " Well done, you young ----." Such were the tricks she played, and the language she used was such that women were not al lowed in court while her expressions were detailed. They created many a laugh in court; but still many of them were of a most shocking kind, and such 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 him. Once, when one of them in his awkwardness let a salt-cellar fall near him, he flung a carving -knife at him, and it struck the the door behind the man: - •The witness who detailed this admitted that the salt=cellar fell near his gouty toe, and that the man was at the other side of the door when the knife struck it. One brought a bottle of port instead of Madeira' oat, and he flung, it at his bead. lie used to compel one man to do his work by presenting a blunderbuss at him whenever anything was done that did not please him. He offered to fight ,his farm bailiff if he would n o t go up to hi s nec k i n a pool of water, and because he did not he discharged him and then caused him to be summoned for deserting his ser vice and imprisoned for twenty-eight days. As a ge nearl rule, when th e y i n an y Way displeased him, he used to fling bottles, glasses, crockeryware, knives, or any ar ticles that were nearest to him. Even when they did not offend him he often wantonly attacked them. One day'lle came into the 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 out, and abe did not recover for a month. When he drove out in his car riage be took 'his gun with him, and once threatened to shoot the man who was driving for taking the wrong road, and the 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 be promised to be better, and then let him out, and they then had some drink. Another one took up a saucepan of boiling orator and threatened to throw it on him, and he fled from the kitchen and sent 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 bis 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 godd 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 ho could, he mixed the remainder of a bottle of gin in the wash for the pig, and made the pig drunk before it was killed.

One sign of madness was a great concentration of intel ligence on some points; and so no man was more shrewd in his dealings with tradesmen, and nothing pleased him a m l l o o r w e e t d h a b n i na defrauding l into any n ar o re a e r o m a f of money. If t h b i e s labourers y found it difficult to get them. A tradesman went one day to ask for a debt, and he threatened to let a bulldog loose at him till the man ran away.

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 bone box. The horse got lame, and so indignant was •he, that ho sat in judgm ent on him, sentenced him to seven years transportation, and then committed it to imprisonment and solitary confinement.

On the Monday there was but one servant in the house —a man named Roe. He sent for a Dr. Hawthorn, of Uttoxeter, who was a friend of the Arnolds. They were of Course an*lotis to know in what state he was, and if possible to affect a reconciliation; but so great was his hatred of them, that if he knew any of them were about his house it would drive him wild; and, therefore, though Arnold canielo the house, be never mice Went int o hi s room. Arnold secured an interview with Hawthor n . M r. Blair was sent for; and'on Wednesday, the 17th 'of June, he prepated a codicil, altering , altogether the pro visions of the will 1815. This document Substituted for his nephew, Mr. T. P. Bain a n aaploatbhoeucraerry,abwohuot brigge, the proper representative of the ' Bain brigge family, the sons Of his_ daughter, Mrs. Arnold, it, cre ature a d g o t and got riit of the annuity to Mrs. James. This codicil Was attested by Roe, one r Al len,JAci h so n p, the house, and a M • to execute m ere e gi cu e te of Mr. Blair. Oa the next day Blair brought a formal will, and got t he who knew little or nothing of the it attested by Allen, Hawkins also, who was the wif e of a was in distressed circumstances , and' testator, and a Mrs. nothing of him, and by Dr Fo x. farmer, and also knew' t the time ho executed - the w ill It would be proved that a and incapa ble of knowing what he was totally insensible ! wife o f Allen, b eing in a consump he was doing. The old dying witness under a commission for consump tion, was examined as a perpetuating testimony, and in her examination, t a k en under that commission, and under the full knowledge, as she expressly stated, that she was a dying woman, s h e said that the testator was, from the Monday till hi s bl e to, and unconscious of', what death, totally insensible was passing around him; and expressly refused two ap plications from his daughters to see him, replying to them by a murmur of . refuse], accompani e d w i t h a deep groaning; and that her husband, William Arnold, was about the house by stealth,and was not se en by the de ceased. One circumstance connected with the l as t w ill was almost conclusive. No one It was, one but Blair an d th e tes tator knew of any w ills. former therefore , fim portant o r Blair and his associates t o o draw up h t referring to previou s w il ls. Ac cordingly Blair hasten edthe formal will wit ou t o Uttoxeter, and set hi s clerks most in t - • blanks for the. an provisions to work, and n ot filled up till after th e t will was in most ter's death. That to the codicil. It conta ined the same provisions as the former will, with respect,. his to the Arnolds having nothing to do with holding any lands. It in crease d Mrs. Arnold'sannuity to ;100 1 a year during h er husbaud'es life, and 300/. afterwards, and, should Marianne and her issue fail, left his estates to his daughter's (Mrs. Arnold's) six sons in succession, with 1,0001. each to the younger children; and in case all should die without issue, then to his own right heirs for ever. Itcontained the semeprovi aions as to Mrs. Blair and the education of Marianne. It alsocontaned m ap r.

There were three trustees, Hawthorn, Wood, and Blair; Blair, bein g a so li c it o r, knew that ho w ou ld all eus his i r ve have virtually the exclusive management of the pro perty, and knew further that if, on the death of the granddaughter, the will of 1815 came into operation, the Bainbridges could at once manage their own affairs, whereas in the event of Mrs. Arnold's children coming into possession ho 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 was to get rid of Mr. Thomas P. I3ainbrigge and Mrs. James, and to substitute the Arnolds. 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 dying man, and smooth his path from earth to heaven, 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,,und when his two nephews, General and Colonel Bainbrigge, called on the Tuesday to see him they were not admitted to see bim; and his brother John, on calling on the S'aturdays 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 Hankey 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 time 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. The General, after many years had elapsed, on return from foreign service, went to Doctor's-commons, found the blanks filled in, and the pencil-marks and interlineations removed, and he would swear that) that will was not the will he saw in Mr. Blair'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 one of the man sions, and the exclusive right o f s p ort i ng . S o perfect and shipshape was the will which the General saw at Doctors'-coromons, and so different fsom 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; arid, 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 1,500/. 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 vvil', and entered into a correspondence with him for this purp getting him to confirm the will on the terms of the trustees selling him the mansion for the amount of the debt, and sitting off the debt a ga i ns t th e pr i ce. Bl a i r, i n that cor respondence," artfully warned him that this purchase would afterwards prevent him from di'puting the will, but told him at the same time that it would be useksa to attempt to upset the les; will on the ground of in h., 3,u:a ow he of me,ltivg o f pr, thirty fi'n ' s lit 11,,, life, el it , (Mr. Blair) 1,-4 got prepsr,:l ()flu I'2, leashes: 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 a pro vision in the will to enable the trusters 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 spesifio per formance of the agreement to convey. Marianne, 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 and codicil of 1815 . was proved by the survivor o f th e t h ree attesting witnesses, who seemed not to have known much previously of the testator. z. Mr. Thomas Frost,'now a merchant in Liverpool, for merly a pupil to a Mr. Hadley, a surc , eon, of Derby, proved that on the Bth of August, 1815, he saw Mr. Bainbrigge 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 tl 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. Met him at dinner several times at his (the testator's) house, and at his father's (Dr. Fox's) house, and 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 proposition of any kind whatever, ex cept when he wanted something to be brought to him. He 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. Ho never uttered a single idea, but in a nervous sleepy way would say, if he wanted a sheet or anything, " move it." Saw him re peatedly on Friday. He got worse and worse, and was treated as a dying 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 question 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 follo w i ng ac count of his last days and the will scene. , The testator drank a good deal of brandy on the Sunday and Mon day; he went to bed in the afternoon of Monday, and witness took off his shoes that day and his coat the next, and left on his other clothes till he died. Went on th e T uesday for Mr. Hawthorn, ' and brought him. Sa w hi m a n d Arnold often together. It was on the Thursday, be thought he was sent for Blair, about nine or t en i n t h e morning. Had a letter for him from Dr. Hawthorn. Afterwards saw Also') there; Alsop, Hawthorne, and Arnold met Mr. Blair at the b back door, and th e y ta lk ed together. Saw Mr. Blair writing in a room le a di ng to the squire's. The squire was then insensible. When Mr. Blair asked a question he only gave a sort of groan. Mr. Blair brought biin n 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 heard any other answer if it had been given. This was repeated three times. Thu three papers seemed to be like written papers. The answer the third ti me was a groan too. Th en Mr. Blair took a pen and dipped it in the inkstand. There were then pres en t M rs . R aw li ns, a farmer's wife, who lived near to Johu Allen, a wheelwright. When Mr. Blau dipped the pen in the inkstand, he put it in he squire's hand, and he put his hand under the squire's arm, and the squire wrote something. Allen signed the paper. Witness put his mark to it. Thi s was the first paper that was s i gne d . Thought Dr. Fox camp 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 roorr: Mr. Arnold asked witness several times to be allowed to go in. He went to the door once. He durst not allow him to go in. He peeped at the squire in Le d. Saw Mrs. Arnold in conversation with Mr. Blair, Mr. Hawthorn, and Mr. Aleop on one occasion, and with one or more of thorn frequently. Two of the squire's nephews came and were roused admission; his brother, Captain John Bainbrigge, came on the Friday or the Saturday. The little girl denied his coming up stairs; ho forced his way, and went to his brother'al bed-room, who took no notice of him. The captain cried over him, and asked him whether he would not speak to his brother Julie. The squire did not know him, and took ne 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 afternoon of Satur day. As soon as he was dead Mr. Blair, Mr. Hawthorn, and Mr. Alsop began to work right and left, and began tumbling. On the squire's death Mr. Arnold was pieced in authority. Cross-examined—Always considered him a madman —a dangerous madman. lie 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. Mr. 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 ho was incapable of holding any oonversation, 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 he was incapable of making a will or transacting 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 here ; it is at Ut 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 were all standing up. Mr. Blair had the will in his hand, end came in, accompanied by Dr. Fcx, 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 at the table with hie 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 hie 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 cause round to the left shoulder. Ho ;did not attempt to interpose between me and the will then. I had a full view of it. lie continued reading. It appeared to me an incomplete document. I saw a great many pencil marks in the body of the will— interlintations. I saw pencil writings in the margin. There were several long lints of interlineations in the body of the will, and gaps and openings, as I conceived to be tilled up, at some future relied. Saw several such opening , . On one page, at the bottom, there was a good deal of space. Saw a large opening at the bottom of the second page. Ile read while I was looking over him— ' perhaps, two pages. Ile had read one before I got up. He read, say a pege and a halt', before I beckoned to iny cousin Ihrikey, who in now dead. lie came initnediatady, and stood behind Mr. Blair's right•hand shoulder. r.:niair:s'l a Sa!‘ Lligfi Cl' IW,', tot ne d over, WI,: It" 11/00 my nest.

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 mi.' father was dead, my mother alive, and had eight children, fn nit row circumstances. My aunt, Mrs. James, had some seven or eight children, and was nut in affluent circum stances. Afetr the funeral I went to Liverpool, and did not return to that part of the country for two or three years. Went afterwards to Doctors'-commons to see the will. It Wilk: not in the same state as when I had seen it in Mr. Blair's hands. My nephew, the plaintill 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 went to see the will. I was on speaking terms with my cousin Joseph Ilankcy Bainbrigge. Mr. Blair was; aware that I was overluLkin,g 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 as 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 scewe 1 to me as if seine 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 Bainbrigge, the brother of the testator, and the brother of Joseph. It was the subject of our conversation. John was on speaking 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. Ice-examined (the wilt was put into his hands)—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 saw 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 had 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 his own house. None of his brother magistrates perceived any alteration in his mental powers, and up to the last moment ho was as intelligent as et er. A genveinan named John Silt, of Uitoxeter, who knew bim for 40 years, and had often dined with him at his own house and his (testator's) houses, deposed that his A a b cleanly i s uatrtkhaAt n thh a eo s nw t y h a o ssy s e ohfi o t of o ther Esq.,a sound mind gentlemen nd habits for some tim e b efore his death were not only greaters h i re, deposedpropri propriety ofu n d h e i r s s ta s t n a d t i i g n magistrate of Stafford the fact that no one could b e h ave w i t h 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 bus mess. Mr. Whiston, solicitor in Derby, said he was eccentric, but a perfect man of business; that in 1816 he transacted some business with him. Part of it was to convey the equity of redemption of a house in Derby, and he managed it with acuteness and discrimination. Another witness, a farmer, raid he was a little rough sometimes, but very sensible. A great mass of correspondence between him and va rious parties with whom he had dsalings up to a very .short period of his death was road, to show that there was not the slightest difference in his style before and after 1815, and that to the last he was in all his busi ness transactions as perf,ctly shrewd and sine as any man could be, and certainly the correspondence was such as no permit' need be ashamed of. Up to June 12. 1818, a f-w days befor e his death, he kept a regukir diary of all his proceeding's, and there all his psyments 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 heard of the entries. Ono fact connected with these diaries was noticed as very material by his Lord ship. There were twelve of these b,oks, and he allowed the Solicitor-General to take them home on Saturday night, so that he might, after his devotions on Sunday, look through them, and find out if possible some entries to throw light on the subject of this inquiry; but ' 111 ANY have assumed the use of the word r ALETOT, but the ONLY PATENTEES of the design And •naterial used in this inexpensive and gentlemanly article of dress are, H.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. 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 (or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

[PRICE SD. though that Learned Gentleman hal them so long in possession, he made no reference to thew. This was considered a strong argutneet against his irsanity. From these circumstances it was contended that the accident in 1815 would have produced no such effect on him as the plaintiff pretended. As to Mari anne's practices, her unfortunate habits appeared to b e 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 determined for any length of time as to how he should dispose of the ultimate re mainder of hie estates. It was said that it was idle to pretend now that he was insane from 1815 to his death. His family were living in his immediate neighbourhood. Why, then, not sue out a commission of lunacy against him? This was a strong proof that this pretence of hia insanity was totally unfounded. But the tact of his eldest brother and heir-atelaw confirming the will, std rnittine 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 theireaths and acts ratified this will. What motive had all these people for entering into this conspi racy? Mr. Blair wse at the time of this alleged crime, it was admitted by the Solicitor-General, one of:the nioi•t emi nent and respectable solicitors iu the county. He had through a long series of years enjoyed the confidence of Mr. Bainbrigge, and would he sacrifice reputation, posi tion, aed all that was dearest for the sake of having an exclusive right of sporting, instead of a share with two others? What did Allen 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 had locked up a gate against the testator; and young Arnold, the hus band of his daughter, had broken off the lock. This 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 Uttoxeter, 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 circumstances; but in cross-examination by the Solicitor-General be was not able to swear that the copy which was now handed to him was one of those two which ho 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 ho 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. lie (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 he 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, he (W. Arnold) told him he might cut them, and this also pleased him, and be said witness might have the loppings and bark; 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. Ho 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 wile did not go there ; she never saw him in his illness. I always from 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 amens 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 an abandoned character." In sup port of the duo 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, end Mr. Alsop, and the will was attested by Dr. Fox, John Allen, and Mrs. Rawlins. Adam Roe was examined for the plaintiff. Allen and Alsop considered testator of sound mind, memory, and understanding. Mr. Alsop, who had been a surgeon and apothecary at Uttoxeter, also deposed to the due execution of the codicil, and the perfect compe tence of the testator. His evidence was sougl.t to he impeached on the ground that at the time h e made this deposition ha *vs. considerably indebted to Mr. Blair, but said he had given him securities and was bankrupt, and was actoally living, at the limo of his ex aminetion, in one of the mansions selected by Mr. Blair wider the will. Dr. Fox was dead, and had not been ex- Mrs, A.lic..lleer'ins. the wi'e of' "IrrPnois .

Se :Aid not well; and when he signed the will, said, " This is my last will and testament.'' He also signed his initials. In cross exemination her credit was impeached, on the ground that she and her husband had iefc the farm of 90 acres they had held, the agent behaved shabbily, and went to live at Leamington, and afterwards in Derbyshire; and r.bout five years ago were brought back by the de fendant, and allowed a cottage land seven acres of land and the grass of the cows, without an agreement as to rent till last year, when it was settled at 20 guineas, and also were allowed to draw a few small sums of money occasionally from him, and had not settled the ac count. Mr. Thomas salt, a surgeon at loge ley, who was described by Lord Campbell, in his summing up to the jury, as a most re spectable witness, on whose statements they might rely, proved that he was apprenticed to Mr. Ilawthi rn in 1818, and that a lIIUNSII.'n creme from Mr. Ha w th orn on Tuesday, the 16 t h of June, to go to see Mr. Rein brigge; that Mr. Hawthorn being at Birmingham, and the message pressing, he went himself and saw him. He was in bed, and very ill , but perfectly sensible. He visited him again in the evening; he was then sensible, and conversed about his illness and the symptom.. He saw him no more, as Mr. Hawthorn came home that night about to elvr, and went at (nee to see him. He believed ho was the first medical man who saw him. He made an entry of his visit in Dr. line thorn's hook. John Mellor, a farmer, proved that on the night of the leth June he was sent for to the testator and saw him in bed. lie said he was very ill, very ill indeed, amid asked him if he would go to Derby for Dr. Fox; he was to start et twelve, and desired by the testator to lie down till that hour in the room next to him, and be would call him in time. He did so, and gave him a note to Dr. Fox, arid desired him to ride his pony, and if Dr. Fox were not at home to come through Uttoxeter and bring Dr. Haw thorn. This man's story, Lord Campbell, in slimming up, said was very probable, and the only mode of accounting for Dr. Fox's presence at the scene. The trustee, Hawthorne, was dead. Mr. Blair, an attorney, practising at Uttoxeter 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. He was generally shabby in dress, but not very outrageous. At dinner parties be was dressed like a gentleman. He 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 he was at Derby he had a purchase for 6,0001. 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 ho 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 he (Mr. Blair) had limited the remainder to Mrs. A.'s heirs male, and be ordered " male" to be struck out. After it had been altered ho 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 OH 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 we'e 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 in the will. Having received the instructions mentioned I filled up the blank at the bottom of the second page. that clause, and he executed it. Mr. Fox, I explained the heads of the will to him, and read over Mrs. Raw lins. and John Allen were present. Mr. Bainbridge understood it as well a, I did. In reading over the parcels to be sold, hr. directed this addition—" And nay (-state in the county of Derby." Those words were interlined, and he initialed them. He did not direct other alterations.
