LAW INTELLIGENCE.

col'ilr OF CH kNCERY, Mowitaw, JULY 10.
CO *Whit.% V V. COLLINS.
The I.ro KOCH C I. i.o n. on taking his mat, went through the
whole circumstances of this case, which his been before the Court
since the year 1801. The point at issue was to detennine the
period at which a partnership terminated, when one of the parties
had become bankrupt. His Lordship said he had to apologize to
the patties for not having given an earlier judgrnen t, but there were
some points in the case of Brown and De Taster which bore so close
toi analogy to that of Crawshay and Collins. that he wished to hear
the arguments on that case before he decided upon the one then
before him. His Lordship then intimated that on Thursday morn.
iit3 h: would hear the use of Brown s. De Tastet, and said that
din case of Crawshay and Collins was so long before the Court that
he was resolved that it should be immediately disposed of. He
should therefore give judgment in the case this week, if he lived.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.

BEDFORD ASSIZES.
THE NIRO V. SIR O. P. 71J1YER.
-.The Court hawing resumed this morning,
Watt. Jones; Marshal of the King's Bench prison. stated, that
/men the opportunities he had had of trimming the demeanour of
the drffeosiant in the prison, he considered him wholly unfit to be
entrusted with the management of his own affairs. That was wit.
ness's impression from the first life* be saw hint, in November
VW. down to the present moment. In his geneywl appearance lie
was gait, deranged. Witness was present when Rte Jury (the in-
'wish ton) esartrinetl him ; he said to one of thee', whom he knew,
This is ail 'conspiracy ; I have no chance here." Dlr. ttlaberly,
Iss said, was at the head of ft.
Jeeetuiah Herbert, keeper of the King's Bench coffee-house, fre..
queet:y saw Sir liregnry there; he MAX deranged.
Francis Whitmarsh, Esq. was the Chief Commiesioner upon the
inquisition. and sccompanied the Jury to Battlesden.house, which
he found in tire greatest confusion, resembling a broket's ware-
house more than any thing else. The principal rooms were tilled
with packages piled away almost up to the ceiling. In the drawing
rtiont and dining parlours were packages amyl pictures in the greatest
tartifusion ; and in one of the large rooms there was barely space
toe one person to pass en the window at the other en 6 of it. The
packages were broken open ; some contained children's books and
toys trifling value. Mixed up with the refuse were things of
inaq.e. His bed-room was in a most Filthy state. with an accumu-
Loom of empty lavender bottles in it. An out-building, appa-
rently a coach-house, was fitted up as a music-room, haying a
tWaittinal massive marble chi mney-piece, but the old coach-house
windows unaltered. In an adjoining room was a numerous col-
le id's, of musical instruments, piled away like rubbish. In a
small adjoining building were some specimens of sculpture, similar
.t.a Sic Elgin merbles. In his sitting-room were scattered about
I:ders, horse.shoes, pieces of iron. &c. Nearly every room in the
Loose was in the same state of confusion. M tine's has attended
a great many inquisitions, and in his opinion Sir Gregory is de-
'cidedly unsound mind. He did not consider his disorder lunacy,
but unsoundness of mind.
The !Awned Ju DOT. suggested that it would be a most incon.
taunt precedent to set, if Commissioners were subjected to be
ex,driared as witnesses for the purpose of proving what had oc.
csitraii at trios over which they hod presided. Coon the same
principle a Judge might be called away, when on circuit, to a differ-
ent town. to state all that bad psssed at some trial which had taken
race before him
Thnnias Oldham had been clerk in the office of Mr. Maberly's
fit{her and himself for forty years. Mr. Maberly had always been
agent to Sir Orernry, and was executor undet his father's will. Sir
l'Agnity came of age in September, 1811 M., and was then in posses-
sloc of a clear rental of 17.000/. per annum. It would not now,
after ineutnbrances were paid off, amount to 1.0001. a year. The

Lady Turner's mother was the wife of Captain .hayfield, of the
nolttia. The 45.0001. was borrowed at 5 per ctr.t. to pay off an-
i:lpitier. at 121. or 141. per cent. ; and Mr. Maberly did not receive a
'aeillmg, at. commission or otherwise, for raising the money.
