TO THE EDITOR.

Stws-Having seen in the London Papers • paragraph re-
specting the Knifes visit to Mullinßar, I request you will
insert the following, lest an idle tale should rinsed the Royal
Visit, or cause • still further depreciatiou of the lauded
interest in the •eighbourhood of that town.

On the first appearance of that paragraph in the Dublin
Newspapers, a Gentleman somewhat interested, wishing to
aseertaiu the fact, caused iequiry to be made through the
various offices of " Black Letter" in this kingdom ; the re-
sult was, that tin lease of lands ever was made, whose leisure
determined on the Kiug's visit to Mellinger. But by a deed
which was exhibited to the writer, the ancestor of a family,
since trembled, aold,aod released fur ever, `ea capital messuage,
with the appurt a, in or near the village Mellinger,"
to the Prier end Brethren of the Dominican Friary situated
there; they, the said Prior and Brethren, finding him and
servants in sufficient accommodation of Isousehole, brew.
11)e, Mid baking, is said house, is the King and his great
me n• should happen to arrive at the village efures4id'."
The reason tug to remarkable a reservation may be, that
llenry the Sixth, having sume years before the above, six.
io 1447, held a Parliament in Trim, then a place of nu note,
the itibabitaata of Mellinger, which was larger and more
populous, entertained expectations of II similar honour being
ciniterred ou their town. After so great a lapse of time,
this conjecture may be eunsidered sufficiently pruhable.
The above Donsiaicau Friary and its estates falling to the
Crown, were afterwards granted by Henry VIII. without ally
such reservation, so that no fear may be entertained by the
present uccupaut (if such there be) uf this " capital mes-
seep," titc. 1 sat, Sir, yuur obedient,

The preparations for the solemnity of the Coro.
nation are waking rapid progress, the toyal Beanie
being completed, but they bure been and will be
of great hindrance to the relatives of deceased
friends having burial-places in St. Margaret's
church-yard ; the remains of an inhabitant of the
Broadway are now lying for inteiment, and those
who may depart this lite will be depthiten in the
church till after the Coronation.
A shocking murder has been committed in Lin.
coliishire. A clergyman has been shot by one of
his parishioners, while in friendly conversation with
the a►sassin, and killed. We have nut yet heard
the particulars, but the murdeier was not in Cu..
tody when the account was sent of.—(Hertford

LAW INTRLLIGENCR.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Imicosa's Ins,
THURSDAY, JUIN B 28.
The LORD CBAWCELLOI GUN 1010 Court at
nine o'clock.

JUDGMENT.
IN THE MATTER or HOWARD AND GIBBS,
BANKRUPTS.

The Lotto Clisuctif.t.oft--0‘ This is the peti-
tion of the assignees of the bankrupts praying dist
the commission shall be superseded, on the ground
that there is no petitioning creditor's debt. The
petition not only casts reflection on the petiticniug
creditor's debt, but on his character. I hold that •
petitioning creditor is obliged to give every satis-
faction to the assignees respecting his debt. It
is said on the part of Mr. Campbell, the peti-
tinning creditor, that he is ready to go before
the Comininioners and give every explanation;
one part of Ins debt is a bill of exchange, which is
said to be tainted with usury, but if he a the bona
fide holder of the bill without notice of the ninny,
wider the late Act of Pediment, its being so
tainted will lint debar his chains; but if lie is only
the holder of the bill fur another person who was
privy to the usury, it would annul his claim. Let au
application be made to Mr. Cam 6.11 to go be.
fore the Commissioners, and to be examined as to
the validity of his claim, and if he ittuses, then come
here and I will give an order for inquiry. As to
the question of assignees being able to set aside a
commission of baoknruptcy, it is certainly • difficult
matter if they are guilty of negligence, but if they
have used due diligence and have a proper groand,
do not see why they should not be relieved,
although they are officers of the Court. The
petitioning creditor stands in a different situa-
tion front all other creditors to the assignees, he is
Wood to give them every information, and for
every purpose of the commission, as the agent of
the assignees."
