LAW I I'ELLIG ENC E.
COt'LtT OF 4,:IIANcLRY, Arms. sp.
Considerable interest was excited in consequence
of a report that the LORD CMANCILLI.OII intended t 4
pronounce 6i. decision in a cause where the 'Dukes
of Sussex and Cambridge rranpposed to Lady A.
Murray, who, it will be recollected, was married t•
the Duke of Sussex some few years since at Home.
At the request of Sir A. Ptunrr, Counsel for the
Royal Dukes, judgment was boot•ver delivered in
a private rams, from which all persosis, but the
parties, their Counsel and Solicitors, were exclud-
ed h his Lordship's express order. • We could not
learn the particulais ; but tire chief question we
understand to here been as to the custody of the
children, the issue of the inarthige. The objet t,
we hear, was to remove them from their ustitrer,
who coetended that she had the right of custody,
havm4 intinataitieil them for many yeas, mud
under • irclimmtime,* of the greatest distress, wawa
the Duke went abroad. We cannot say what
' the decision is, but we believe we may antici-
pate it, as Lady Augusta foliated the Chun•
tenor from his rooms apparently much aqitsted,
and was led sway by her brother, the presvat Eart
of Dunmore. and some other of her noble friends.
Her elder child, a son yi ars of ate, is sold to
have petitioned the Chancellor in behalf of his
mother, and to here expressed his unhawanese at
the idea of being removed from a parent to whom
be is so strongly attached.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
The Court was occupied the whole of the fore-
noon in justifying of bail.—At Iwo o'clock Lord
ELLeWoonoceo held his second Sittings in Term

feuded actions.
