that he has teen Soma and Woodford sevesal
times in the streets by themselves, and suspeeted
them to he persons of bad charader and pickpock-
ets; as such he warned them out of the Gig, and
they have always obeyed his directions.
Wiiliam Homan. one of the Bow-street patrole,
said, he has known all the Prisoners some time.
First knew White, by apprehending him at the
Marquis of Lansdosyn's masquerade. Soatnes was
apprehended at the same time. They were then
committed as reputed thieves.
William Anthony. one of the Officere. was called
in ; he said that he has known Soames for eight or
ten years, Woodford about sir or seven years, and
White about two or throe years ; looks upon them
to be loose charatters. He has often seen them
together, and considers them to be pickpockets ;
sod if he met them in the street together, he should
swot& they were there for the purpose of picking
pockets. . •
Mr. KOArt was heard at considerable length
for the Prisoners:

Mr. Naass, the Magistrate, answered him in a
very spirited manner. He said he had perfedly
made up his mind, that the Legislature intended to
lay hold of such a description of men as the Pao
soners ; and although tbelr guilt was not manifest
by any particular aQ, yet the impropriety of their
cettilna was so plain to such a number of persons,=.
th.,t he had not the least hesitation in conDiefing
them all as reputed thieves; and a similar firm con.
dud towards such notorious bad charaders as
might be hereafter brought before him, he was con-
vinced was the only way of clearing the itteets of
London ; in pursuing whch measure he had no
doubt shot, i have the ccncurrence of his worthy
friend, Sir W,, :sons.

Primate, if they desired to be bailed,. they must

A gentleman, whose name we could not learn,
but whom we suppose, from his language, to be
M. ostler of the House of Commons, inquired
whether there was any reward for the Officers in

of highwaymen and footpath ? On tieing informed
in the negative, he promised to have the measure
brought before Parliament, during the ensuing
Sasions.

DURLIA.

IMR R•RL oor ARR.'S P. LORD TTRAVILY.

• The Chancellor having given notice on Saturday,
that he would live judgment in this important cause,
this day, the Court was crowded at a very early
hour. The Earl and Countess of Harrington, Lady
Maria Sunhope, Sir Arthur Wellesley, and several
other persons of distinaion, with difficulty obtained
seats contiguous to the Bench.
At 11 o clock, alas Chancellor, together with the
Lord Chief Baron, who had assisted him during the
course of the hearing, took their seats on the Bench,
and the Chief Baron immediately proceeded to de-
liver his opinion, addressing himself to the Chan-
cellor. He minutely stated all the fa&s of the case,
and concluded, by upraising the coaviaioa of his
mind, that Lot/ Tyrawly was a trustee, under
the deed of 1776. That as such, he could not
treat for, or take, either by way of demise or pur-
r-lilac' any part of the trust estate, consistent with
die rules of a Court of Equity ; and that, therefore,
the serval conveyances of that property, obtained
by Lord Tyiawly subsequent to the decd of
1775, were fraudulent and void, not only as against
the remainder-man, Viscount Sudley, but with re-
gard to the tenant for life, the Earl of Arran,
and ought to be set aside. The Lord Chancel-
lor, in a speech of considerable length, observed
on the positions of the Chief Baron, illustrat-
ing and fortifying them by several able argil-
menu, and apposite quotations. Finally, he pro-
nounced the decree recommended by the Lord
Chief Baron, and direael that an injunction should
issue to put the Earl of Arran into possession of
those estates, so soon as the necessary accounts
should have been adjusted before the Master ; but
giving Lord Tyrawly an option to wave tl•ose
accounts, and set off the interest of the sums
he had advanced against the mesne-rates, if he
should be so advised.
The Court was occupied the whole day with Ws
important business ; each party is to abide by his
own costs.
