LAW INTILLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FainAT, Ave. 6.

LENGEN V. SIMPSON.
The LORD CMANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morning, pro-
ceeded to give judgment in this case, in which an application had'
been made by petition on behalf of the defendant, to have the fur-
ther proceedings suspended, to enable him to follow some effects
which hail passed into the possession of parties not connected with
the suit. Ills Lordship said, that having carefully read the peti-
tion and considered the arguments raised up-1 it, he was clearly of
opinion that lie ought nut to accede to the defendant's application.
The defendant could not follow the effects in question, now that
they had passed into the hands in which they were at present. There
was, therefore, no reason for suspending the proceedings.
Mr.llaRT said that all the parties in the suit were agreed to abide
by his Lordship's decision, which would terminate the litigation.
He was therefore instructed to request that the sum deposited with
the Court might be returned.
The LORD CHASE E1.1.0R, under the circumstances stated by
('ounsel, could nut refuse the request, and directed the deposit to
be returned accordingly.
The judgment was then ordered to be registered.
Some conversation followed between his Lordship and the
Counsel, in consequence of an annunciat'on by his Lordship that
his duties elsewhere required him to rise at two o'clock. To
make up for this abridgment of his labours in that Court, his Lord.
ship offered to sit to.morrow (this day) till six.
Mr. HART was apprehensive that in thatense his Lordship would
take some of the Counsel by surprise, who had made engagements
to be in other places before that luau,.
It was finally settled that the Court should rise to-morrow (this
day) at the usual hour (four o'clock).
ANDERSON ILINNINO AND 0,11E115.
This was an appeal from a judgment of the l'ice•Chancellor,
with respect to the ennatntctiou of the will of Joshua Bow, de-
cearied. It appeared that the testator hintrelf had drawn the will ;
and that the difficulty draw from the doubtful use of the term
legatees. After providing for the payment of all his just debts and
funeral expenses, he devised the sum of 2,lantl. to the plaintiff,
Jane Anderson, and an annuity of 10. to her son and daughter till
they both attained their majority. These persons, in several parts
of his will, he styled the devisees. He then proceeded to bequeath
legacies of 1,0001. each to the defendants Banning and six others,
whom, in that pert of his will, he styled legatees'. Finally, he
directed, that ` the residue of his property. should be divided
amongst all the legatees mentioned therein, in proportion to the
amount of their several legacies." The Vice-Chancellor decided
that the plaintiff and her children was entitled to share with the
other residuary legatees. From this judgment the defendants
appealed.
lIART, for the appellants, rosumed his arguments this day.
He contended that the testator meant to exclude the plaintiff and
her children from all share in the residue of her property. He
designated them, throughout his will, by the term devisees, which,
though not a technical description, was manifestly used by him to
distioguish them from the parties whom he styled exclusively',
legatees. To those terms lie had adhered in describing the bone.
ficiaries under his will, and therefore the learned counsel main-
, minc', that they ought to be regarded ha the Court as valid de-
, stinctive epithets. If the testator had intended to include the re-
spondents in the division cf his residuary property, he would have
mentioned them again as the devisees, the term which in all other
parts of the will lie had applied to them. By mentioning only the
legatees, he had clearly. intended to confine the division to the rip-
' pellants. The distinctive epithets were obviously introduced only
to prevent the extension of the division beyond the parties, whom
the testator styled his legatees.
Mr. Cox, foe the respondents, ar„sued that the testator intended
that all the parties, to whom lie had made bermes's, should be in.
eluded in the division of the residue of his property. 'lite terms
he hail used were, "all the legatees," and in these terms the re-
spondents were of course included. No terms could be fuller or
clearer. If the testator had intended to exclude the plaintiff and
her children, why hind he stated that the dividend of each legatee
should be in proportion to the amount of their several legacies
The legacies of the appellants were equal in amount. The testa-
tor, therefore, must have intended to include other parties whose
legacies were of unequal amount. and those parries were evidently
the plaintiff and her children. The Learned Gentleman in conclu-
sion observed, that a momentary difficulty might be raised by the
unnecessary and improper use of the term devisees ; there could be
Ito doubt that the testator's intention was not to exclude the re-
spondents from their share, as residuary legatees, in common with
the others.
The LORD CHANCELLOE. was convinced that nn man living
could with certainty say what the tc.tator had intended. In the
construction of wills, he had found it a safe rule to collect the im-
port of particular passage. from the general tenour of the Intro-
' men:. In this case the question was, what the testator meant, as
to the division of the residue of his property, when he used the
tern " all the legatees;" whether he intended to apply it to all the
parties who were entitled to bequests under his will, or to one par.
titular class only. He (the Lord ('hancellor) could not with con-
fidence limit the application of it to those persons who eaclasively
claimed it. lie did not feel himself warranted in depriving any of
the legatees of their probable share of the property, on any con-
jecture that the testator might not have intended to include them
all, on account of his having used an improper term in another part
of his will with respect to a particular class of the legatees. The
passage must be coistrued, therefore, according to its obvious
meaning, and all the legatees admitted to their respective shares of
the residue of the property. Perhaps the testator, if he could walk
nut of his grave into that Coon, would be as much surprised at this
decision as lie (the Lord Chancellor) would be to ace the testator
conic to argue the question; but the general tenour of the will did
not appear to him to justify him in guessing any. of the legatees
out of the testamentary character which seemed fairly to belong to
them.

The Judgment of the Court below was therefore nonlirme.l, and
the appeal dismissed.
The Court rose at tiro o'doek.

BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF CUILDREN.

Marlborough-street office, and all the approaches to it, were yea.
terday crowded to excess, in consequence of the apprehension of
woman and her daughter, charged with the most atrocious cruelty
to a number of infant children under their care. The prisoneis,
whose names are Catherine Irvin, alias Wicks, alias Birch, the
mother, a respectable-looking woman, about 45 years of age, and
Mary Irvin, a girl about 18. the daughter, being placed at :lie bar,
Mr. Biggs, the assistant overseer of St. Giles's parish, suited to
Mr. Conant, the sitting Magistrate, that, having received infor-
mation that morning that there were a parcel of young children
living under the care of these prisoners, who professed to keep a
school, and take in boarders, in a state of the utniost wretchedness
and starvation, he proceeded with one of the beadles to a house in
Monmouth-court, and there, in a back attic, he found such ascene
of misery as he never before witnessed. There were the Hee young
children now In the otnte, between the ages cf nine weeks and four
years, one being an infant of the former age; who was in a dying
state, crawling about the apartment, more like so many vermin
than human beings.
Dr. Burgess, the parish surgeon, who saw the chit !ren , said, that
they were almost at the point of death, from starvation, filth, dis-
insLr, and crueltmatinent. .

Ti,e poor little innocent% were here stripped, one by one, and the
whole presented one of the most shocking instances of human tur-
pitude and depravity that was ever WI Their little limbs
and bodies were completely skeletonized by disease and starvation,
and they appeared, brides, to have been tortured in a most cruel
manner. They were all beaten with such violence, that, from the
crown of the head to the sole of the foot, they were a mass of bruises
and stripes, and one little hay, about two years old, had a joint of
one of his toes torn of. They were also, every one, infected in the
mot violent way with the itch, and encrusted with filth. The
children. who were supposed not to have tasted food for a long time,
were provided at the office with a supply of bread and milk by Mr.
Wingfield. Solicitor, in Gnat Marlborough.street, which the poor
creatures devoured most ravenously ,• but they were not allowed I
to indulge to the extent they wished, for feat of dangerous con-'I
sequences.
Mrs. Rodwell. the mother of two of the children, who had been
cruelly used by the prisoners, stated, that in Ala y last she had oc.
castor to go Into the country, and placed two of her children under
the care of the prisoners. with the consent of her husband, until her
I return, and pawl a weekly allowance for their board, &c.; but, on
her return to town, she found that bet husband had quint d their
residence, sold every thing, and was no where to be limed. She
' went directly to the apartments of the prisouers, to see efier her
children, and inquire atom lvt husband. when, to her horror and
surprise, she found hint in bed with the eldest priaorer and all the
children. She immediately took away her own chiltiren, alto were
in a deplorable situation, and are now only gradually recovering
from the creel treatment they received. her husband hay since de-
serted her altogether, allowing her only 12s. a ',Lek, put of al. a
week, which is his salary as bookbinder
The two prisoners were then examined separatdy. The daughter
at first denied all knowledge of the names of the children, fee.;
and answered the questions of the Magistrates in the most jnaulent
manner. It was at length extorted horn hoe, that the infant nine
weeks old belonged to a gentleman somewhere in Inc

are, she cannot tell. Another child's tame hi 11111 Chit%; hut his
tkristian name, parents, or friends, she knows nothing about. As
for dr others, she can tell nothing at all about them, tut perhapa
her mother could.

The ekler prisoner difered in many resreets from the daughter's
ne:ount, and profes•cd to know nothing of two of thew, and testy
little of the rest; she however, domed havit4 ill..trested the
children at all.
L'hc oldest of the children said that the " Governess" (the ri.ler

speetaele of dime inneeents, he took part with the pritoneus, and
said, t. own children were always comuiptive.
Thii I!ri. Rodwell denied.

POLICF.
mAN;;IoN-iii)usE.
Thomas Haakers,the young man who has been several time, ex-
amine-1 here un a charge of attacking some gentleman on 'Change
with u pistol, having no loading but paper, in a moment of es-
trangement of reason, was again brought up yesterday. Our
readers will remember that he was remanded front Monday last, at
which time the medical officer of the Commie certified that lie was
in a state of mental depression and despondency, bordering on in.
sanity. Since that, however, he has been gradually becoming more
tranquil, and is now considered to be so much reeaversd as to be
safely allowed to go at large. Ills wife, a most interesting young
Iwoman, was in the Justice Itnom before he was brought up, and
the Lord 31eyor held some conversation with her privately. He
afterwards conversed with the prisoner's master, 31r. Arent, the
King's hoot-maker, of Regent-street, who has en kindly interested
himself in flanker's behalf. The prisoner having been put to the
bar, his Lordship directed hint to he brought round to his chair.
The prisoner, when brought near his tide, who was standing neat
to his Lordship, wiped away a tear.
Ills Lonnsii er then addressed him in a most feeling ailmorti-
tion, the low tone of which, we regret to say, prevented us from
hearing fully. Ile first asked him how he felt himself, and being
answeeed " much better," he said that he had taken some pains
with hie ease, partly on account of the prisoner himself, but more
on account of the young woman who stood near—the hopes and
comforts of whose life his conduct had nearly blasted. 11e
reproved him in firm, but not too severe terms, for having deceived
her and others, by saying that lie was possessed of money, eil.!:11,
it was now clear, he never had. He had thus imprudently got into
embarrassments, which he might otherwise have avoided, and then
had not resolution enough to meet them in the face. In the course
of his lionlships's own life he had met with difficulties, and could
not have brought up a large family without having done so, but
he had always met them at oece in the face. If ever he (the pet.
soner) should again get into temporary difficulty, he hoped he
would be candid, and alive>. adhere to the truth. As to his wife,
whom helmet certainly deeply injured, if he had the manliness to
acknowledge his (MM, ask her forgiveness, anti amend his coo-
duct, he land no di/ninth:it she would receive him again, and never
reproach him with what had passed ; and by prudence anti ceo-
! notny he might save something, if he could, as was said by hie
master, earn above 30s. per week.
The prisoner, who seemed considerably affected, thanked his
Lordship, and prontitied to he tether, industrious, and steady ; and
being then iliseharged, he left the Justice.room in cunmany with
Ids wife.
MA RY.I.A.BONNE.
Anthony Spencer and Jrhu Richards were yesterday brought to
this office, charged with having attempted to hang a Polish Jew
cf the name of passe Hymns.
Front the statement of the complainant, it appeared that he went
into the stables at the back of Park-place, with his bag upon'
his back, he being a dealer in old clothes, and demanded of the
defendants, whom he found in the *table, whether they had any-
thing to sell ? " Will you buy a halter?" exclaimed one of them,
exhibiting one at the sense time in his hand. Witness declined
purchasing, and the defendants then called out, " But you shall 'I
buy it ;" and, suiting the action to the word, they fastened it round
his neck, and, is he affinity, attempted in earliest to hang him.
Ile struggled and gut away from them, with the halter still round
his neck.
A gentleman who saw part of the affair described the transac-
tion as a lurk.
The defendants represented it in the same light, declaring that
they had no intention of injuring the Jew; but that they only
meant to deter hint from intruding into the stables in future.
The Magistrates seemed of opinion that the defendants had
chosen a very wrong subject for a lurk, and gave them leave to
retire and endeavour to make their peace with the complainant.
On getting into the outer room the Jew demand eel It. but at last
lowered his demand to vs. which was paid over to him, and the
whole party left the office.
SUSPICSOUS CASE.—A young man, dressed in the first style of
&anion, with a valuable brooch in his handkerchief, and a watch
with gold chain and appendages hanging from his tub, was
brought up on a charge of having been found in the area of
the house of John Deval, Esq. No. I. Buckingliam.street, Fitzroy.
square.
Howlett, the watchman, stated that he saw the prisoner get over
and descend into the area, about twenty minutes past one ii dock
in the morning, and that he approached for the purpose of watch-
ing hint, but, as he believes, was seen by the prisoner, who imme-
diate attempted to regain the street, which, on his effecting, wit-
ness after a slight struggle took hint into custody.
The prisoner was here called upon to declare who he was, and
after some reluctance lie stated that his name was Frederick
Thomas, but declined telling where he lived. The watchman, he
observed, had swim positively to his being the person whom he
saw ascending from the area, and he knew it was in vain for him to
attempt to combat that asseveration, by his simple denial of the
statement. He felt that his present situation was one which
would excite a powerful prejudice against him, and although con-
scious of his own innocence, lie would not pain the feelings of his
respectable friends and connexion, by declaring who lie was, farther
than by stating that he was a clerk in the employ of a respectable
mercantile house. lie could menus the magistrate that he was not
the person who ascended from the area, but that in passing by the
house he saw a man conic from the area, who made his escape,
and immediately afterwards he was taken into custody by mistake
for that person.
The watchman declared that he could not be mistaken, as he
secured the prisoner in the very act of getting over the area railing.
Mr. Derail, who from his infirm state of health had been obliged
to come to the office in his caeriage spoke to having been called up
by the watchman about the hour lie mentioned, and that he was
then inforited the prisoner had been taken into custody under pre.
duly the same circumstances as had been that day detailed in evi.
dence.
Mr.Oatrrrraahereimportuned the prisoner to give an ace
count of who he was, and where he lived, as in that ease inquiries
would be made, and if it was found that he really was a respect-
able young man, he would most probably be discharged; at the
same time, however, if he felt himself to be otherwise, it was his
duty to caution him against saying anything that might criminate
himself.
The prisoner, in reply. again protested his innocence, but de.
dined telling where be lived, assigning for it the same reason as
before.
Under these circumstances lie was ordered to be locked up till
evening, and in the course of the day repeated effierts were made
to obtain from him who he was, but without success: and the
Magistrate, at the close of the evening's sitting, ordered him to be
fully committed foe trial for the misdemeanor.

CilA ac E or MiTan .-The Dublin Fuening Post of
Wednesday says—" The following letter we received
this morning from Enniskillen. Upon the credit of our
correspondent the reader may place the most entire con&
(knee:—

" Enniskillen, Aug. 2, 1824.
"On the evening of lut Sunday se'nnight several Catholic
young men were returning from the Chapel of Kennswlcy to the
town of Et:MAOlen. A party of Orangemen, apprised of the cir-
cumstance of its being a Patron-day in that parish, way-laid the
Catholics on their return, near to a place called BaJlikeleck, in this
county. They commenced their attack by throwing stones at the
Catholics from behind a hedge. A young man, of the name of
Constentine Martin, without the slightest colour of provocation, a
tenant of the Earl of Itelmore, had his skull fractured. was
brought to the County Infirmary, where he lingered till Friday
last, when he died of the wounds he had received. On Name,
day last an Inquest was held on the body, and several witnesses
examined, who itlen•illed a person of the name of Starlett. as
being resent. aiding and assisting. &c. The verdict of the Jury
was, That the deceased came by his death in consequence of the
fracture of his skull, indicted by some person or persons unknown.'
No e:.ertions have as yet been made to apprehend the perpetra-
tors of the crime. Scaly t was walking publicly through the
town of Enniskillen on Saturday last, and has not yet beets
taken."

A PAIR OF BRUTES.—On Friday afternoon, tr. o of
those brutes in human shape, commonly called cuter,, thought tit
to amuse themselves opposite the Talbot lon, Water-street, by
hooking the chair,s of the two leading horses of their carts, with
their tails against each other, to try which of the two horses could
pull the other down. In thisstate they applied their whip. to each,
and although the poor animals appeared more sensible than their
driver's"( the impropriety of such conduct, by endeavouring to
avoid the encounter, they were urged on, sometimes crossing the
footpath, and endangriing the lives of the passengers, until mane
stinted gentleaten lint a atop to it, and hai forthwith taken
before the Mayo,. by whom they were lined ten shillings each, and
ortle.rd to be detained until the lines were paid.—Billinge's Lt..cr-1
