LAW INTELLICENCIL

COURT OF CHANCERY, lAwcoues.hor,

WEDNUDAIN Anson IS.

THE BISHOP OF SLY If. LORD [INCL.

This was a motion ott the behalf of the. Rey.
Plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the Noble
Defendant from erecting • building near Ely
Douse, which would deteriorate it by obstructing
the light, and preventing the sun from shining on
it. When the motion was made, we reported the
case, and it was directed to stand over listjudg.
meat.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on coming into Coe'rt,
at nine o'clock this morning, asked Mr. Horne if
the parties had made any arrangement out of Court
to settle the question in dispute ?
Mr. HORNIt said, he understood not. There was
no improper feeling between the parties, but they
wished to have the opinion of the Court on the
question.
The LORD CNANCELLOR--" The Bishop Of
Ely is certainly right in taking the opinion of the
Court, as it relates to himself and those Reverend
l'relates that may succeed h►m, therefore no blame
can be attached to him for agitating the question."
Mr. Hoolsit--14 Certainly not. The Noble De-
fendant acquits him of every thing of the kind, mid
in meeting the question he has every friendly feel-
ing towards the Rev. Plaintiff."
The Loan CIIANCELLOR" There is no doubt
but that the house of the Bishop will be much
injured by the intended erection; but the evidence
before me is not strong enough to prove that it will
be such a nuisance that ought to authorise me to
grant an injunction. It is not a case like that of
the Attorney-General v. Nichol, where the Court
i said, you shall build no higher. But although the
Court will not grant an injunction now, in the
coarse of the intended erection there may such •
case arise that will warrant it in granting an injunc-
tion. There never was a case where the Noble
parties ought sooner to come to an amicable ac-
commodation between themselves out of Court."
Mr. Itoaxe—" They are both out of town at
present—they have put themselves into the hands of
their respective builders. There is no improper
feeling existing between them."
The Loan CIIANCELLOR—" Then I cannot
grant the injunction on the present application.
Take this as my judgment, with the declaration
that there may arise ■ case, if the Noble Defendant
proceeds with hi• building, that wilt give the
Court jurisdiction ; but it cannot exercise it except
on a new application."
Injunction refused.

IN THE MATTER OF THARPE, ♦ LUNATIC.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he would hear the
petition in this matter to-morrow.
Hi* Lordship was occupied until a quarter-past
two o'clock in hearing bankrupt petitions of no
interest except to the parties concerned, at which
hour he rote to attend a Cabinet Council.

OUiLDBALL.
FINAL EXAMINATION AND Mr VIITTAL OF
MR. STENT FOR TRIAL

This being the day which the Magistrates appointed to
hear the final examination in Mr. Skate case, this Office
was crowded at an early hour, and a vast concourse of people
assembled outside the office door.
Mr. Steal was brought tip in a coach, accompanied by
an officer and some of his friends, and Mrs. Strut, accom-
panied by her father and sister, came is a coach from Saint
Bartholomew's Hospital.
Mr. Harmer attended as the Solicitor of Mr. Slept.
The first witness examined was Mr. Henry Benwell, House
Surgeon in Wet Bartholomew's Hospital. On the netting
of Thursday, the bib of August, between the hours of six
and seven o'clock, Mrs. Strut was brought to Saint Bartho-
lomew's Hospital ; witness saw bee immediately ' • she was
very faint sad cold, but sensible; witness examined her, and
found several wounds on her body; there were there wounds
in the neck sad breast, one on the right arm, one on the
tight side, and one us the thumb of the right hand. One of
the wounds in the neck penetrated the windpipe—and the
uue in the side had penetrated the right lung; from this
wound she lost a large quantity of blood; the other wounds
were trivial ; the wound in the neck was small ; the prin-
cipal wound was that in the side; Mr.. Sarni was thee iu
considerable danger ; she remained in danger several days,
but continued to mend till Suaday rooming, when there was
an inflammation is the lungs. The iastrument with which
these wounds were inflicted mast have been a sharp one ;
the wounds are not yet perfectly healed, but witness con-
siders her out of danger.
Mrs. Strut was the next witness; she bad been some time
wa ting in the Magistrate's room. A chair was now procur-
ed fur her, and she made her appearance, accompanied I.y
her sister. In person, Mrs. Strut is by no wears an object
of seduction; her figure is small; her countenance is not
Irindsunte ; her voice is very feeble; her face pale, and her
general appearance indicated the endurauce of severe and
recent safferiag ; she was plainly dressed, and wore a large
black bonnet, which concealed her face from the greater
number of those who were present ; she did not hook at her
husband, but continued in tears during the greater part of
her (gemination. Strut, on the contrary, the moment his
wife appeared threw an surriring and moitraftal look at her,
and though he did nut weep, he evidently appeared to labour
ender the strongest emotions. This novel and unfortunate
scene greatly affected the numerous pennies present.
re. Si rui's examination was as follows

H'itneies name is Merin Stem ; 'be is the wife of Henry
Went. Witness arrived in LouJoia from Liverpool last

_. ..
Theistlay week; she has bees absent some time front Eng-
Isn.l ; she put sip at the Saracen's Head, Snow hill; she
sent a letter to her husband that day; she sent the letter
shout twelve; be came shoat six in the evening ; her imita-
tion was so great when she saw him, that she rerullt els no-
thing that took place helices her and him; she recollects
nothiag from the moment be entered the room, till she found
herself undressed in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. When
she recovered her senses, she found herself wounded in the
neck, in her thumb, and her arm; she has no recollection
of having a wound in the body; she has one ender her
breast • she swears that she has so recollection a any thing
that t:sult place between the time her husband entered the
room moil she found herself in the hospital.
After Mrs. Smut had been examined, her father was called
in. He said his name was Beecher, and that he lived is
Strution-mormil, Westminster. Tit:Magistrate, Mr. Ahltr-
mars Smith, said, that Mrs. Slept, as the wife of the Prisoner,
was not competent to prosecute him, and it was %revisory
that some other person should be hound over fee that pur-
pose. Ile submitted to Mr. Beecher, that an the rearrest
connected with her, he, for the sake of public justice, should
untleitake to prosecute the Priaoser.
Here Mrs. latent, in an earnest manner, entreated of her
father nut to du so, sad Mr. Beecher declined accordingly.
Mr. Alderman Smith then said, that some person should
he bound over to prosecute the Ps-boner. This be said was
a grave and important case, nod the ends of gruMle justice
[reputed that it should be sokninly liseeired Into by the
truly competent tribonal—a jury of the country.
Mrs. Stein then withdrew. Sbe node a relent Orr per-

mission to see her Walla at the Cs pier, wisiels use gem-
'plied with.

The last witoess was bound over to prosecute, nod all the
witnesses who hicie been examined during the investigation
entered into Thuissisances in the sum of 401. each, to appear

Mr. Alderman Smith then addressed the Prisoner. He
said, that the Prisoner's solicitor suggested the propriety of

situation ; but it was his painful deity, under the circum-

after went off in a hackney-coach to the -Comptes., accom-
panied by an officer sod his friesda. Os his getting late
the coach, the utmost curiosity was manifested by the per-
sons outside to see him; that curiosity was still more
strongly 'manifest, when the hackney-coach in which Mrs.
&est was to return to the hospital drew up In the Magis-
trate's door. The crowd roomed about it, and it was not
without some dilicoliy, aided by the exertions of the offi-
cers, that the noifortuaate woman was able to get into the
coach.
