Before Vice -Chancellor Knight Bruce.
In as FIMMINOTON SCHOOL.—KIIMOVAL OP SCHOOL-
MA/MEL—The huts of this case have already been before
the public. A petition was presented, under Sir Samuel
Romilly's act, by William Ward, master of the School,
which is established at Grinton, in Yorkshire, and James
Clarloon, grocer on behalf of themselves, and all other the
inhabitants of the parish of Grinton. It stated that the
petitioner was appointed master on the bth April,
1823 ; that, in 1832, in consequence of quarrels be-
tween them, the petitioner and his wife separated ;
that the Rev. Elias Tardy became vicar of Grinton about
April, 1842, and in July following called a meeting of the
electors, which was attended by himself and two other
electors, when certain charges were made against the
petitioner, which were not substantiated; but that, notwith-
standing, he was eventually dismissed.
The petition came on for hearing in November tut ; but,
owing to the pressure of business, the hearing was not then
concluded. It was again heard on Thursday last, and the
hearing terminated yesterday.—Mr. Russell and Mr. George
Russell argued the cue for the petitioner. Sir Francis
Simpkinson, Mr. Bichner, and Mr. Bagsbawe, for the
electors. The ease was last heard before the same four
electors, who had ordered the petitioner's removal on the
former occasion. It was heard upon 18 charges in writing
made against the petitioner ; and the electors, of course,
found the petitioner guilty of the most important of them.
His Honour, in giving judgment, proceeded to examine
the charges seriatim, and said that most of them had
failed. The last &urge, however, had some weight. It
was, that since August, 1844, Mr. Ward had not attended
divine service at the parish church of Grinton, or attended
any place of public worship belonging to the established
church, but had attended a methodist meeting-house. His
Honour thought that the just construction of the will
was, that this was intended to be a school upon
'the religious principles and the religious doctrine of
the established church of England. That being so,
he could not, upon the footing of example, treat
it as a light matter, that during twenty-two or twenty-three
consecutive months, the muter had not attended church, or
any place of worship, connected with the eetablishouot.
The reason Mr. Ward gave was that his opinion of 111. r.
Tardy, duce these proceedings were taken against him, was
such that he could not consistently with his feelings attend
a place of public worship at which Mr. Tardy was to offi-
ciate. Some allowance ought certainly to be made for
the state of his feelings; hot he should have re.
collected that he had not merely his own feelings
to consult, but example to others; and his Honour
could not hold it to hats been censitheat with
his duty, to absent himself from sierra daubs the whale
of that time, without any other them Niguel for such
conduct. Upon the whole, with great regret, his Honour
found himself obliged to come to the etemiethea that he
could Mot interfere to prevent * conesquenote of the
opinion to which the four electors bed come. He repeated
that he was sorry for it. With remain to eons, the four
electors must pay all the costa of the petitioner up to and
including the order of June last. Since that time there
mut be no costs given on either side.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.--Ciuunnem..

Lewis 11.IPILLI cost N.—RIGGING THR MAIIIIIT.—Mr.
Dowdeowell appeared or the plaintiff in this case, who
claimed the sum of 221. 10., for services rendered as an
accountant to the defendant, in his capacity of provisional
committeeman of the Central of Spain Railway Company.
As the question between the parties teamed on the sufficiency
of a sum of 101. its., which wee paid into court, the case was
only interesting for the description given by a witness of a
practice called " rigging the market." The person in ques-
tion went on to the Stock Exchange, and reported that he
had made purchases and sales of shares, he himself being,
in fact, the only party in the transaction, and filling the cha-
racter of buyer and seller. The reports, however, had the
same effect as the announcements of real bargains, and
affected the market and share list accordingly. The jury
found a verdict for the defendant.
