their 1. cal countless for their maintenance. In ISM some
question arose as to the custody and ,ducat' of the'

being that some attempts hail heen mail, to educate the

Mr. James Parker said he appeared on the part of the
F.arl of Shrewsbury, who entirely concurred and consented
to the application.
Tit, Lord l'hancellor—l we no thjettion to a reference to
the ylaste.r to settle a permanent scheme. I have had
some communication with Master Brougham, who pro-
mised to do all he could to expedite the in-
quiry la.fore him. I wrote to the young lady,

Mr race Wood said he appeared in support of the peti-
tion ~f Mr. ('raven Iterke Icy. asking that his lordship
would see that the young lady was properly taken of,
and el, a she should be removed from the guardianship of
Dr , who op to the present time seemed to have eler-
rio it to so little purpose. Ile should hose to show

was. and how improper a place it was fur such a young
lady to reside in ; awl he should base to show that
the promises of lord anal Lady Shrewsbury, to take
can- of the young lady acre not fulfilled; she only paid one
visit. and then truly for one day ; she was left at the con-
vent. and allowed to languish there, having paid but one

W Le Doyle, it was stated that Miss Talbot had visited the
Mart of Shrewsbury at Alton Towers, and had met there
Many distinguished person. But he carefully abstained
from saying how many times she had visited there, and had
Met ve loured to say whether it was more than once. During
111 this time Mr. Berkley believed that Miss Talbot war
Ws, i:rig about with Lord and Lady Shrewsbury, and
bud never had any idea that she• was prat
up in the convent, shoe there were no holidays.!
The learned counsel then proceeded at great length to no
through; the various affidavits tiled uu both sides, and car
sweet..l in strong t. rms upon the conduct pursued by the
Earl and founts,. of Shrewsbury, and their apathy for the
watar.• of the young lady, and to show that the conduct of
Dr. Doyle was not free from the suspicion that lie was not
such a person as should continued by the court to be her
rum', kilt. la the course of his address he (the learned
counsel' adverted to the thenav of the Council of Trent, by
which it was clearls shown that on taking the veil
a not mate, who then 1111,1M1' a nun, delivered up all con-
tea of any property she might possess, which was then
vested in the superior of the convent, and, in fact. trans-
ferred to the church. Mr. W. P. Wood concluded by
asking the court to allow Mr. ('raven Beekaee to take part
before any proceedings that might he refsmid to the
Master, so that Mi.. Talbot might be relieved for the fu-
-1 tare from the protection of the Hee. Dr. Doyle and the
Earl amt (.1/111alsal of Shrewsbury.
Mr. Multheek followed on the same side, and supplied
some omissions in the speech of Mr. Wood.
Mr. Holt commenced his reply, and deprecated the
in which Mr. rage Wood had censured Dr. Doyle,
who loud acted throughout, ettkiently, as the testamentary
guardian of Miss Talbot, and had made a full and con-
scientious return in all matters with which he had bows
nomeeted. Mr. Roll was proceeding when
The Lord Chancellar said, that as the arguments would
ot some time, and he had other engagements to attsad to,
the further proceedings must he adjourned.
The case was then adjourned till Monday morning at 101
o'clock.
