LAW INTRLLIGENCZ.

CJVIIT OP KING'S BENCH. FED. 3. •

At Il e sitting of the Cuu►t, Mr. J. Richardson.
barrister, who held the office of Filszer and
Clerk of the Writs and Errors of this Court, in
trust for Lnrd Kenyon, resigned that situation,
upon the Noble Lord's attaining his tull age. His
Lordship attended in proprio persona, wbeu the
Lord Chief Justice delivered the grout from the
Crown into the bands of his Lordship, wfio was se-
cordingly sworn into office with the usual ceremo-
nies.

The Court was occupied the greater part of the
tnoriiiiig in justifying bid ; but no case of any pub-
lic interest occurred.

COURT OF CIIARCERT, Frs...

A Bill had been filed in this rase, on the part of
the Attorney-General, iu behalf of the Relators,
who who were Members of the Congregatiou of the
Etlinotiton Chapel, against the Rev. Mr. Fowler,
the Minister of the Chapel, and the Trustees un-
der the Deed of Trust. The funds of the Chapel,
it Appeared from this deed, were to arise from the
letting of the pews, the proceeds of which were to
be applied, first, in payment of the rent, public
burdens, and salaries to the necessary Officers, sod
the balance war to belong to the Minister, which,
in addition .to such gratuities as he should receive
from the intlividuala of the Congregation, was to
form his income. The Bill charged that the De-
fendants had violated the Trust, by excluding.rer-
tont Members of the Communion, and by tossup-
plying the funds. A Receiver had been appointed
by the Lord Chancellor, and a motion was now
made for an attachment against the Defendants,
for different alleged breaches of the injunction.
Mr. HART was for the Relators, and Sir S. Ro.
t 1.1.1 f for the Dehodauts.

The Loan CMIANCOLLOI could out see any clear
and pu.itire coutrotpt of the Court iu the different
acts charged se4 breaches of the injunction, and
over the gratuities to the Minister the Court could
have no coistroul. It appeared that the pews were
not let, but were occup;rd by persona who paid no-
thing for them. It was shoord to suppose that the
ptas should be let under the authority of the Mas-
ter in his Office ; but still. if a systematic plan was
laid to defeat the orders of that Court. some re-
medy must be found. It was far from his wish to
interfere so as to 'shot up the chapel ; but, at the
same time, this fund must be managed like any
other estate; ands if the Defendonts would inter-
fere its such manner as to render the Order of the
Court a nullity, the Court Must support its own
stithority, by ordering that no pew should be occu-
pied, unless paid for. To give the parties, how-
ever. still one other opportunity of freeing them-
selves from such so interference on the part of the
Court, as might tend to injure rather than promote
the common interest, be should postpone tanking
any Order tilt the Bra Seal after the Tenn.

Jamaica Papers have been received to the 3d
December, which state that the House of Assembly
has entered into several strong rrsolut ions, reflecting
on the conduit of the Council Board, '• which,
without inquiry, without examining witnesses," or
without any communication whatever, had, on the
subject. "involving nothing less than the destruction
or preservation of the island," rejected a bill erhieh
the Assets bly ; liad.ofter mature delibenitionodapted
to the occasion, by the removal of certain black con-
spirators. The Assembly declares its approval of
the conduct of the Mayor and Magistrate., in the
detention of these offenders, resolves to indemnify
them in confirming to do so, until the King's plea-
sure be known on the occasion, and forbids the
exercise of the usual legal process for the liberation
of any of the party.
Should the progress of the war, in thrSpanish

A French lugger-rigged privateer captured •
brig off Roitingdesn, shout three leagues al sea,
at 11 o'clock, a. st. on Friday. The same priva-
teer subsequently gave chase to a trading sloop,
which made for the laud, and there found safety.
The privateer then trussed her attention to three
collier brigs in the offing, one of which was the
Merle, belonging to Snows and Co. but the whole
escaped by running into Brighten Roads. There
is every reason to suppose that the captured brig
has been conveyed to a French port.

frigates has escaped out of Cherbourgh. Lord
