LAW INTELLIGENCE•

COURT OF CHANCERY, Tctsnar, AUGUST 0.
EXPARTE WRAY.
11Ir. HART said, he had an application to make to his Lordship,
for an order to suspend the insertion of the adjudication of a bank-
rupt in to-Mgitt's Gazetic. It was a case arising in Lancashire,
and he held in his hand a letter, which stated, that 111 r. Thomas
James Hall, ant' some other gentlemen, acting as commissioners,
having adjudged James Wray, of the Isle of Man, bankrupt, it
occurred to 3lr. Hall that the petitioning creditors' debt was not
aufficiently proved to support a commission.
The Lonn CHANCELLOR observed, it was an application of a
very singular nature, and a great deal of attention was due to the
circumstance of not having a man published as a bankrupt, if the
commissioners thought they could not abide by the opinion they
had conic to.
lily. HART—Then your Lordship ordeal the insertion to be SUS-

pended.
The Loa D CHANCEL'. o R directed the insertion to be suspended.
31410 T v. ROBERTSON'S MECHANICS' MAGAZINE.
Mr. HEALD stated, that he had for several drrys past endesvoured
to bring on a motion, to restrain the publishing of a periodical
work. The Vice-Chancellor had refused to grant the injunction,
and as the work was a counter-publication to the one published by
his client, and published weekly, it was doing his client considers.
ble damage. The motion was very pressing, and every week that
this book continued to be published, it tended to diminish his
client's property exceedingly. The case would be very short, as
there were only two Counsel in the cause, himself on one side, and
Ilickersteth en the other.
The Loin Crtawc Et LOR said, he supposed the application was
for an injunction, in the nature of straying waste, as to a publica-
tion. Ile would hear the motion now, or any time Mr. Heald
Waned to bring it on.
Mr. HEALD observed, es he saw a great many gentlemen in
Court concerned in the cause petitions, he would, with his Lord-
ship's permission, Wing it on the first thing to-morrow morning.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he had no objection to its
coming on tomorrow morning.
The Coart then proceeded with cause petition..
In a cause petition respecting the charity school of Ashby-de-la-
Zonch, the petition was ordered to stand over, it having been ascer-
tained that the Marquis of Hastings was the visitor of the charity
instead of the Vicar, and that noble personage having had no notice
of this petition being brought on. The case, therefore, stands
over. in order that the Marquis of Hastings may be served with
the petition.

IN RE CORONER OF STAFFORD.
Mr. Witt se LEY stated an application was about to be made to
the Court to set aside the election of the Coroner for Stafford, in
consequence of a want of qualification, he having been. as was
alleged, a bankrupt, for the second time, not having paid Ills. in
the pound. and now insolvent. The Coroner had been advised that,
before the matter came to be heard, it was necessary for him to get
a release from all his creditors, and then to make an affidavit.
The Sheriff of the County also wished to make an affidavit, he
being an interested party, and being arxious that his Lordship
should have the benefit of the assistance of a Common Law Conn-
ect, inasmuch as the proceedings were taken under an Act of the
fatlef the late King.
The LORD CirsxceLron said the Sheriff was extremely oblig-
ing, but that gentleiu•in had forgotten that the whole of the juris.
diction in such cases belonged to the Chancellor. His Lordship
I inquired bow the Sheriff was interested ?
AIL AV 'tzar LtY said the expenses of the election of the Coroner
were borne by the county ; and, if the election was void, it would
be a great question whether or not the Sheriff could bring an action
for the expenses. Ile therefore became interested in supporting the
election.
The Loan CHANCELLOR thought even that mighty question'
he was fully able to decide, without the assistance of a I:ommon
Law Counsel. If he happened to see the Sheriff, he should tell
him this, that he (the Lord Chaneello ) thought the Sheriff could
not hare a better Counsel than Dir. Wheatley.
Mr. AGAR. in opposition to the application, said, all that had
been stated by Mr.Whemley was merely for the purpose of creating
delay, in order that the parties might get this matter to stand over
till after the long vacation.
Dlr. WHEATLEY mid the Coroner was ready to make the M&-
davit, which should be done to-morrow.
The ease therefore stands over, for the purpose of baring the
affidavit made.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
To the ewe of " Const v. Harris," which has Deena* often before
the public,
31r. 111:ALD presented a petition on the part of Mr. Robertson,
the Receiver, the object of which was, that the Martel might re-
view his Report. he having disallowed a great number of Items in
the Receiver's acciine„ amounting altogether to a sum of 1,6441.
Mr. Heald caul he thought it was a very hard thing for Meant.
Const and Harris to call on the Receiver to pay into Court all the
balance in his hands, when the items contained in his account were
expenses without which the Theatre could not have gone on, such
as the payment of the Parochial and Assessed Taxes, end the pay-
ment of performers to whom arrears were due; and as the Re-
ceiver considered they were of great consequence, and that if the
Theatre was deprived of their aervices the business of the drama
could not go on, he thought proper to pay them. The paper con-
taining the amount of the expenses of the Theatre, submitted to
the Committee at a Meeting appointed by this Court, among
other items. contained a charge of 236/. for carpenters' expenses
for one week, with various other charges; after all of which had
been paid there remained only a sum of 501.
Mr. Dawn, in opposing the petition, observed that it was
bronght on merely for the purpose of preventing his client
obtaining his Lordship's judgment on a motion made some
time ago.
The ease not being concluded by fire o'clock, his Lordship
rented it to proceed to-morrow.

•fact. 1n pnsetuence of some arrangement between 31r. 3laule, of
the Treasury, and the kited advisia of the gerund. he wee not
brought up for final hearing until yesterday, when he was placed
at the bar of dda office, before S.r It:DIANI}:, and the cxemihation

was gnn through dc nem°.
Mr. AIALTIAL attended for the prosecution, on behalf of the
Crown, sr.d Mr. INODRICK and Mr. J. rSAACS flppearld as the
Counsel and Attorney tOr the prisoner. The prisoner is s small
thin made man, and has none of the robust and hardy appearance
which generally chamsterize seamen. He preserved a constant
smile upon his countenance, and listened with perfect composure to
the to+nmony of the different witnesses. He was charged under
the
.sth (ho. IV. cap. 113, which makes the trafF.cking in slaves a

capital felon y.
Joseph Jackson was first sworn.—He stated himself to he a na-
tive of London, and a rearinefi. - He sailed from Liverpool in the
Malta, commanded by the prisoner, and bound to the coast of
Africa. He recollected being pi the River Danger, on that coast.
On the 17th of November last a nelson came on board the Malta,
in that river, from a Spanish slave schooner. That person was
an Irishman, named Roach, anti witness afterwattis understood
that he was mate of the Spaniard ; he remained on hoard for some
time in conversation with theanate of the Malta, and then returned
to the schooner, the Captain of which afterwards came on board
the Malta, and the schooner stood over from where she had
be.en preciously lying to within pistol-shot of that ship, and there
came to an anchor. The Captain of the schooner was for some
time in the steerage bartering with Captain Young for goods, viz.
knives, catlases, bread, bars of iron, &c. Those articles were put
into a boat, and witness assisted in csneeying them on board the
Slaver. The witness at the time than eht it was very wrong in the
Captain to trade with the Shiver. Witness saw the Captain of the
Slaver pay for the goods in dollars. and he afterwards handed over
sonic more of the same coin; anti Walker, the 'mate, said to the
prisoner, " These are for the women." The prisoner's reply was—
Very well, 'rote." The witness afterwards saw Walker hand
the four women inta the Slaver's boat. Witness was standing on
the gangway at the time, and every person on deck could see them.
The prisoner afterwards went tin board the Slaver, and when he re-
turned, breoght a parcel with him, anti the Malta's boat was sent
again to the edinoner with a parcel.
miss-examined by Mr. BRODRICK—Witness was shipped in
the Malta at Liverpool, as ship's carpenter. Ile had not been
long en hoard liefine he was sent before the mast, and his wages
reduced from M. to 2/. 18s. a month. Witness wanted to go ashore
again before the ship left nl, hot the prisoner would not let
I him, and thrcateped to shoot any boatman who attempted to take
him ashore. He quarrelled with the prisoner on that account before
the Malta left the port; and he considered that the prisotier forced
him from Liverpool against his will. Witness remembered per-
fectly well when the Malta was lying in the River Danger, going
with the rest of the ship's company into the Captain's cabin to
take • glass of grog, by his invitation. Knew nothing about one
of the crew breaking the wiedoes of the state-room with a bottle,
but knew thine was • quarrel. A man named Munson (since dead)
was appointed carpenter in the room of witness. On the night in
question it was a " drunken job altogether." They were all good-
naturedly drunk, and not quarrelsome ; but there was quarrelling.
Did not remember florrnson sttiking the prisoner with a pint pot.
Did not remember how the prisoner got his head broken. but
he certainly had a broken head. He remembered the Captain
being, some time after this, confined to his bed, in consequence
of the beating he got front the crew. He had two Wade
eyes. Did not recollect the Captain lying bleeding all night
in the cabin. There was constant fighting on board. The
crew was fourteen in number, and every one but the witness,
and two boys, had black eyes, at some time or other, given by
the Captain. Witness had not yet received his wages for the
voyage. The four women were the wives of Gabroon men. The
slaver went away the morning after the women were put on
board her. Could not say whether the slaver steered towards the
Gabroon River or not. The Malta did not go there. The Malta
was fallen in with be his Majesty's ship Lek. afterwards, at the
Island of Princes," but not taken possession of; but she was
afterwards taken by his Majesty's ship Brazen. The story about
the slaver was told to the Eak's boat's crew, but they did not take
possession of the Malta. The crew had frequently been kept on
short allowance, and complained of it. Witness had sometimes
had nothing to eat for a day but a plaintain and a little salt. Did
not know whether the prisoner had accused any of the crew of
breaking open the stores and stealing cloth.
The last witness answered Mr. Baootttcx with great flippancy,
sad repeatedly contradicted assertions which he node a moment
Wine.
Daniel Pepper was Steward of the Malta, on her royage[to Africa,
where she traded for wax, ivory, and gum. When at Gabroon
they traded with the natives, and tour women were sent (as is usual
in the traffic) on board the Malts, as pawns for the trusts which
Captain Young had placed in the hands of certain natives who were
to supply him with goods. The natives, to whom these women
belonged, did perform their contract ; but Captain Young would
not deliver them up, because the King of the place had not sup-
plied certain goods for which trusts had been given. Witness
heard Captain Young say. unless they were redeemed he would
sell them. lVitnesa then described the visits to and from the slave
schooner, and deposed that the mate of her examined the women,
and said They were very fine; and the Captain said he intended to
make sale of them. The Captain of the Slaver came on board
the Malta, apt had a loos conversation with Captain Voting, a
native called Antonio Tom acting as interpreter. Captain Young
said he would sell the women for 60 dollars each, but the Spaniard
said he would give but 28; finally. 31) dollars each was agreed
upon, and the money was laid upon the table is lots. Witness saw
the money exchanged, and Captain Yountgave him the dollars to
Count, and he found 120. Captain Young then ordered the women
into the schooner's treat ; they cried very much as they descended
the gangway. Witness afterwards went on board the schooner, and
saw the poor woman pitting on the after hatchway, crying; he also
saw about 80 men and women ironed below. The space. between
decks was about three feet in height. The crew told him they in-
tended to get 200 slaves altogether. The schooner was about 110
tees borthen.
Crosseexamitied—Witness often quarrelled with Captain Young,
who accused him of stealing cloth ; but not till after they were on
board the Brazen. Young accused him on the voyage out of giving
awayi the rum, and struck him; but, he did not strike ttini
again, because he was afraid of losing his wages. Remembered
Young being severely beateu, and he deserted it. Witness never
had a black eye.
John Walker, the mate, was examined in corroboration, and said
the women were put on boardi as hostages, and were detained after
they had been, properly speaking, redeemed by their relatives, for
a debt owed to'Voung by the King of the place, who had given no
pledge. Witness did not observe the selling; but Young after-
wards told him he had sold the women.
Crem.examined—The mate of the schooner told witness she was
bound, first to Gabroon, where the women came from, and after-
wards to the Southward.
The evidence for the prosecution being closed, Mr. Brodrick
submiued to the Magistrate, that this was a case in which the ~...5
cretion vested in hint by a late Statute, of taking bail in cases of
felony, might fatly be exercised. The Learned Gentleman then
argued at considerable length, with a view to chew that the story of
the mamas full of improbabilities-and might fairly be taken as the
invention of a set of disaffected men • and even admitting
that their statements were quite true the transaction was per-
fectly consistent with the innocence of the prisoner ; for there was
nothing atoll to shew that the bargain between him and the Spa-
niard was not merely for the latter to take the woman back to
(labroon, whither it was acknowledged the schooner was bound ;
and that the money paid was the amount for which the prisoner
had than, and whicli the Spaniard would receive back on landing
them.
Mr.Plouse said, he should be sorry to press hard against the
accused, bathe_ must say that It ,was more than a case of mere
suspicion. He was willing, however, to leave it entirely to the
hlagistrate.
Arm some conversation, Sir R. BIRNIE said, he was always
satry to abridge the liberty of the subject, but he could not view
this as a case in which he ought to take bad. The prisoner must
stand cornflakes(' for the capital felony.
Mr. listotelflcif modestly represented the length of time which
the prisoner ha already been is confinement, and was likely to re-
main, retreated' Sir R. Birn'e watlld take time to consider the
topic; winds he had urged.
Sir R. Brawn said, he would certainly do so, and would care-
Uy reed over the depositions before he finally decided. In the
NM time, the prisoner stands committed for trial.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.
T.STar ,Yesterday Mar Perron.

MARLBOROUGH,— ay Mary _ s gen.
reel but plainly dressed married woman, between 30 and 4U yenta of
age, respectably connected, voluntarily came to the office, on being
taxed with stealing a French gold watch, value GO guineas, and a
IVer table spoon, the property of Jacobus Decries. a tobacconist,
No. 23, Castle-street Ea't. The tames would imply that Mr. and
Mrs. Defries are foreigners; Mrs. Defries only appeared, who spoke
English without any foreign accent. Her husband had gone to the
Alien-office for passports, as himself and wife are going to leave
England on Saturday next. Mrs. Defiles was in such fear of her
husband through losing the watch, that 'he cried nearly all the time
of giving her evidence, and said several times that she dare not go
home. The prisoner stood - the side of the prosecutrix, occa-
sionally assisted her to give ' heard the accusation with
that unconcern that a -- • charge would display.
Frederica Defiles r • to go abroad, she in-
tended ' that the --*

things

missed her watch. Alarmed at the loss. she writ to a Grower a
the pretis.bedstetul which wee open, to see if her plate was aafe,
and missed one silver table spoon, from half a Omen that were
there; the other five were left. Slastran into the street after the
prisoner, but could not see her ; then went in, locked up the shop,
and went to the lodgings of the prisoner, No. 19, Mart hall-stem
earnaby-market. The prisoner not being at home, witness was
shown into a room on the second floor, and there waited till she
came in. After staying sonic time prisoner came in with two of No
children and another. Witness asked her to send the children os;
of the room, as she had something particular to say. dfur they
left the room witness went down on her knees, to beg her to gist t;,
the watch, as she dare not go home to face her husband after the
loss. She was so frightened at the time, that she cannot reupette
what answer the prisoner made, further than denying having rok,,,
it, and telling her it was a very wrong thing to show the gold cai,.
The prisoner called to a gentleman, who conic up stairs, and the,
insisted on her coming to the office to explain herself. She No so
reason to suspect the prisoner ; only she is sure no one else had
been in the place, and she missed the watch and spoon directly she
was gone. In her anxiety to recover the watch, she had net ltiokad
in the desk or the drawers to see if any thing else was missing.
1
The gentleman spoken of by the prosecutrth is Mr. (hetet?, the
keeper of the subscription rooms in George-street, Hanover.pqttatt
who also has a house in Sheppatd-street. He offered thine' my,:
Perrott to the amount of 1.0001., but thought the hJsiness Lila'
he arran;td. He did not believe the watch was in the reek, or drat
she hid seen it in all that tiny ; for to several questions he had pet
to her, her answers were either so contradictory or so irrelevent,tio
he did not think she deserved belief.
51r. HY F. a said it was a very unpleasant thing fey a rt.apamme
woman, as he had no reason to doubt the prisoner was, to he sent to
prison on a charge of felony, though perfectly innocent ; yet belted
nothing more to do than pursue a streight-forward comae. The
witness had sworn positively the watch was safe while the psi.ener
was sittirg near it, and no one else but her had been in the morn;
it was his duty to commit her to prison. She might be bsded.
The prisoner was asked if she was willing to have her lodgings
searched. _ _ . ....

She replied she was perfectly willing; her children were at
home, who would give au officer the keys to search every Doi
drawer.
An officer was sent to make the search.
It was then agreed that Mr. Gregory's bail should be taken. and
on the return of the officer, the prisoner to be pet at liberty, if nc.
thing imputative was found. They are to appear, pro foln,
today (Wednesday), at one o'clock.
ASSAULT.
Mr. Jaws Adams was brought up on a warrant of assault en
Mr. Robert Twentyman. The parses reside at Fulham. The
taupe of complaint arose out of the circumstance of Mrs. Twenty-
man, who has no children of her own, retaining a fatherless child,
the mother of whom had married Mr. Adams. Mrs. T. had had
the boy, now about nine years old, on and off, for five years, and is
unwilling to part with him. Indeed she seemed an partial to the
child as to kiss him %%bile standing at the table. Mr. Adams had
been to Mr. Twentyman's while Mr. T. was oat, to ask for the boy,
and having delivered his message to the servant, placed his foot
against the door to prevent his being shut out. flowerer, he didnot
succeed in obtaining the child. Mrs. T. said she could give no
answer to his application, 'desired him to quit the place_" how
dare he insult her," struck him, and turned him out, with the as-
sistance of the maid and a young man in the house. He dm,
wards met Mr. T., and desired to know if he would give up the
boy ? That gentleman set him at defiance; some angry words
arose, hut he did not strike him.
Mr. Twentyman insisted nit the blow, and said Mr. Adams fol-
lowed him for an hour and a half, swearing that wherever he went
he would follow.
Mr. Adams was ordered to put in bail.
AN IRISH SCHOOLMASTER.

A little vocalist from the Sister Kingdoms was brought in by the
street-keeper, for begging in the street.
The boa's defence was, that he did not bag 1 he only sold tongs ;
he lied thirteen when he came out, and had sold eleven.
The officer said it was true he had two songs : but he wail begging
by singing" Cherry Ripe" at the area relief:lf a gentletnau's house.
The boy's father and mother were outside the office.
Sir G. Faneas:r ordered them in.
The father, whose name we understood to be Regan, is a tall
thin Irishmen, and his wife squat and short. Regan introduced
himself to Sir George with a very formal bow—perhaps genteel,
and his wife dropped a clime', with equal politeness.
Sir GEnnot had barely given utterance to the words, "Are ru
the parents of that boy?" than Mrs. Regan availed herself of a
mama is privilege, in having the first reply. Regan turned round
to his wife, " You're not edgeura/ed to talk to a jontter,an," sad,
with a slap of his hand on the blade of hex shoulderothrust bee
snugly up into the earner, and began the peroration himself:—
•' Your Reverence, delicately brought up like yourself,"
stroking his chin and robbing his ear.
Sir GEORG E—What, was you a Magistrate
Regan—No, your Lordship, I was a xchnohniater: taught alge-
bra; taught that boy algebra; och ! if you had any ens here to put
questions to him !
Sir GEORGE—Ire is charged with begging.
Regan—liegging ! oh net he indeed; I would not suffer him to
do the like o' that. No, no; he was selling a few songs.
sir GEORGE—And *hat are you?
Regan—Me ! oh, I'm a rat-catcher. lan get nothing to do is
my own country, and come to this to kill all your rats for you.
Sir Ononc.r.—How many did you kill this morning ?
Began—Two-and-forty, before I heard my son was taken into
COMO!,
Sir r.on or —Atul what did you do then'
Regan—Why, after that, I went and killed more, your Honour.
Och, if you would do something for my countrymen, and not let
them he starving—the finest country in the world—sure you ',veld
do something for such a generous nation.
Sir GEORGE —lf I let him go, you must do something for that
boy, and not let him be about the streets.
Regan—Oft, would you hinder a man walking about in a coun-
try that won't do any thing for him ? Do for him? 1 did. I
gave him three floggelatiolu. Turn round to the Magistrate, you
down-looking rascal, and ax his Honour's pardon.
Sir GEORGE—Let the boy of: and the father, on leaving the
office, said, " Och, hodeleration I I've got him off now."
Mary Ann Marsh, a distressed-looking object, whh a sickly,
cryin„- babe at the breast, wag brought up for begging ; she had
walked front Hertford, and was going to Buniingferd. As she
was not known to the officers, Sir G. TARRANT gave her A. and

the storm of thunder and lightning at Gosfield, the roof of
an empty thatched barn was set fire to, which communi-
cated to three stacks of hay, and a stack of peaa.straw,
with but few peas in it. The greatest exertions were used
with the engine from Halsted, to which may be attributed
the saving of much other property, which was placed in
great danger. This occurred upon the Park Farm, some-
time since occupied by Mr. May, but at prevent by Mr.
Itsyn. r, who, it is reported, has been so imprudent as to
suffer his property to remain uninsured. We regret his
loss, but at the same time we must condemn his negli-
gence, and do hope that others will not copy his example.
The buildings were lately transferred from the Duke of
Buckingham, as forming part of the Gostield estate, to Mr.
Barnard.
