COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 24.

LANZ is. WILKINS.

This was a special case, sent out of the Court of
Chancery, for argument, depending upon the con-
strudion of the will and codicil of die lam Admiral
John Howard.

Mr. Aaaor, for the Plaintiff, argued in support
of the censtrudi9n, that the codicil was a republi.
cation of the will. Mr. Howard was tenant to tail
of a Dr. Griffiths, and the question was, whether
the words of Mr. Howard's codicil extended to pup.
clam 4nda 3 He thought it did not.
Mr. Owes, for the Defendant, argued. that the
woed 'f conform." in the codicil. did not amount
to a reputlicaion of the will ; but that the words
'4 my estate," •comprehended newly purchased
estates.

It appearing to the Court that the faits is this
ease had not been fully •stated to the Lord ChAn-

they thought it proper that it should be sent
back to his Lunisnip. so that after hearing it more
',fully, he might have an opportunity of again
Stating, whether the opinion ot this was ne.
°emery upon any point unreel.

that tie Plain:iff had .dully sent for Mr. Tucker,
and intimated his illness, through fear of a prose-
cution, sod bad aired to pay five guineas to the
re*, to be freest of it. To this Mr. Tucker had
suited no objection, and the money bad attually
town applied to the pupas intended, by its hav-
ing been put into the hands of the keeper of the
work-b‘use, and therefore the Plaintiff was not en-
titled to recover.
The COL er deeming the Defendant as aging only
in capacity of a servant or agent of the Plaintiff,
and au such hound coruscate the money, gave their
judgment in the plaintiff's favour.
Tlit KlllO C. TMODISOK.

The Avroitisav-Gssaa•s. moved for a writ of
irerherars to remove into this Cuurt certain proceed-
Isis instituted against the Defendant, before the
Magi►trates at the Quarter Sessions for the county

of Middlesex, as there were certain points which
it 'was thought advisable should be tried by
• a special jury. He had certain affidavits,
stating that the Defendant bad aded as Secre-
tary to a Philanthropic Society, but bad ceased
doing so. Since which, however, he had been
charged with receiving money from persons
dis-
posed to contribute towards that lurtitution, con-
ceiving him still to be aiding in that capacity.—..
Questions of law necessarily arose out of the eon-
atrudion of the Rules of the Society alluded to.
be Couar expressed a wish to have these points
of law stated more particularly i■ some affidavit, in
cyder to determine whether it really fell under their
eogaixance.
