COURT OF CHANCERY, Ltmcomes-lirw,

THIJAIMAY, MAY 27.

INJUNCTION.
BILHARD BLACKMAN, E.N. v. the GLAMORGAN

CANAL COMPANY.

Mr. lHAtr moved for ■n injunction to restrain
the Defendants from using the waters of the canal
for the purposes or a corn-mill, under the following
circumstaisces:—The Plaintiff was the owiar of
iron-works in the neighbourhood of the canal. and
the Defeodanta were hound by the Act of Puska-
ment authorising the Canal Company to give him
all the superfluous water for the use of his iron-
work•, instead of which they hid purchased a piece
rif land and erected a corn-mill on it, and ►upplied
the mill with the waters of the canal, to the great
detriment of the Plaintiff. This was en ex-parle sp.
plicitiou, but when the. Defendants commenced
erecting the mill the Plaintiff give them notice
that they were acting wrong, and that he would
seek reilreis. He had no doubt, therefore, but his
Lordship would grant the injunction.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Let it be so."

PRACTICE.
THOS. BARKER V. HENRY BARKER.

Mr. CooPER %WM. ►his was a motion for an in-
junction to restrain the Defendant from consmitting
waste. He thought it but right to mention to his
Lordship, before he stated the ease, that he had
that morning moved it in the Vice-Chancellor.*
Court, and his Honour had refused the tootiou,
considering the affidavit in support of it not suffi-
ciently strop;;. Ile would, with his Lordship's per-
'Dimon, read the affidavit.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—" This is new prac-
tice, to make the same motion iu both Courts on
the same day. I caunot establish such a practice,
if I do, I may have ten appeals of the same kind
in the course of ■ day. I cannot set such a pre-
cedent : but as this is an ex-park application to
prevent waste, which is entitled to priority, you
cannot expect to have that priority in both Courts
iu one day : at the same time I would be sorry that
strict practice should deprive ■ny of the King's
subjects of their rights. If you come to my pri-
vate room at the House of Lords, to-morrow

n►nrnn►LT, I will hear your motion. Hand me up
the affidavit in support of it, and 1 will read it be-
tween this and then.

♦ANSANDER v. GOLDSMID and OTHERS.

Mr. HEALD stated this was the. Petition of the
Plaintiff, one of the creditors of the late Abraham
Golds►nn!, praying that the Defendants, the execu-
tors of the deceased, should he directed to leave
with the clerk Court all books, papers, and
documents relat►ve to the estate of the deceased,
for the purpose of the Plaintiff's inspecting them.
The circumstances were, that the late Mr. Abraham
Gold.u►id. at toe time of his death, was indebted to
Government in tl►e sr of 466,0001., mid they,
with the consent of the other creditors, had in-
spectors appointed to wind tip the concerns of the
deceased. The inspectors were first authorised to
act by a deed of the 27th of September, 1810,
which was afterwards confirmed by Act of Raba.
meat in 1812. The prayer of the Plaintiff's bill
was, that the award of the inspectors should be set
aside as regarded him, which declared he was u cash
creditor instead of a stock one, as the debt accrued
by the Plaintiff advancing the deceased a large
stun in consols. The inspectors at first gave the
Plaintiff Ws option of being considered either as a
stock or cash creditor, au& he fixed on the former ;
in defiance of which they sold the consols, and
turned them into cash. The Defendants, in their
answer, submitted to any order the Court would
make in conformity with the Act of Parliament,
but contended that they,according to the Act, only
held the books, documents, &c. for the use of the io-
spectnrs,a►td that nu other person was entitled to in-
spect them ; besides, there was another objection to
the Plaiiniff being ullowed to inspect them, us he had
thieatened to publish their contents. This lain ob-
jection was most positively denied by the Plaintiff.
Ile therefore trusted his Lordship would grant the
prayer of ti►e Petition.
81r. SIVIDWELL followed.

The SOLICITOR-GENERA 1., Counsel fur the De•
feudaut•, said, that the application could not be
sustained, as the Plaintiff bad not made the inspec-
tors tinder the Act of Parliament • party to it, and
the Dcleialants were only the holders of the books,
&c. (or the use of the inspectwe._

The Luau CHANCELLOR-4. The inspectors are
nee rrrrr y parties : let notice be served 141 them, and
renew this application on the next seal."
Further consideration postponed.
DAVIS C. HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF ►IARLBOROUGHI.
The judgment in this case was again postponed,
for on allirtsvit to he made of the actual considera-
tion the Noble Defendant received for the annuity,
when lie was Marquis of Blandforil.
The neat seal will be on Tuesday, the sib of
June.

MORGAN r. ATTWOOD.

This was an ac.ion of assault ; the circumstances,
as established in evidence, were as follow
Defendant, a person well known by the amateurs
of pugilism, and the keeper of a public-house,
ru-
tered the house of u Plr. ItobArts, it wine-merchant,
situated iu Holborn, iu Iris absence, and addressed
his clef k, the Plaintiff in the ',repent action, and
spoke of the pi incipal in the most v;oltit and in.
siiltmg terms. Plaintiff remonstrated ; upon which
Defendant proceeded from words to blows, and
struck the Plaintiff three tittles with his fist with
all lila force, and in consequence of the beating,
Plaintiff's head become swelled to a great degree.
No defence was attempted—and the Jury, with-
out any hesitation, found fur the Plaititiff—lhs
wogs, 151. and costs.

RICHARDS C. sc•uvrti.
Thu was au acttuts b ght by the Plaintiff: a
puu-nvilter, living iu the Stroud, to teetswer

itnnolg.honor-Inne, ruftlanocl-place, being the value
of a bill of nehause, of winch he was the buldero

steepled by tLe Plaintiff, and not Isorninred when
due. The defence ,et on by the Defendant was,
that lie was not privy to the acceptance of the bill,
his son hiving been the accetnor in his absence.
Mr. Richards swore positively that the D-fen-
daut had acknowledged the acceptance as his owl:.
Frederick Schulte, sou to the Defendant, ►t..te.i,
that he had accepted the bill w the absence of Ins
father, and without his knowledge or consent--and
that on the return of the latter home he expressed
t•trotie displeasure at his doing so—that on Mr.
'Richards, itll4. coming to his lather's to make lit-
guinea respecting the bill, and lamming witness
tt was tendered to hint by Mr. Mouctoti (iii whose
favour it had been drawn), and who bad as4rred um
the purchase of a gun and n pair of pistols, which
he said he meant to pawn (or 401. to go to Paris to
marry a French heiress, witness replied that he
himself was the acceptor of the hill—that lie had
heard the elltle account from Mr. Moncton, and
that therefore it should not appear a ground of
suspicion—he told Mr. Richards, on his calling at
his father's three dls after the bill became due,
that it could not be paid.
Witness, in his cross-examination, said, lie Want.
ed seven months of bring '2l years of age, and that
he hid nu concern in his linker's business, and that
Mr. Moncton owed his father 133/. 51. fur clothes.

11r. Richards being called H second time, swore
he was certain that the conversation respecting the
acceptance of the bill, to which he had given evi-
dence before, had been carried on with Schutte,
the father, and not the sun.
The CHIEF JUSTICE described the defence at-
tempted to lie made as an nifinnonv one, and the
Jury iiisthritly found a verdict fur the Plaintiff, fur
the rum bought to be recovered.

IRELAND.

WATERFORD. MAT 22.

Since our last the city has enjoyed tranquillity.
For Thursday an alarm existed, in which we did
not participate. if mischief was really projected
for that morning, as many apprehended, it was ob-
viated by vigilant and timely precaution. From
before live, Sir Simon Newport, Deputy Mayor,
Sheriff A leock. and the entire of the ordinary Po-
lice visited every spot in winch a nuclear of assem-
bling was possible. Towards seven they were join-
ed by most of the special constables. About that
hour four or live men were arrested, chiefly about
Barronstrand-street ; they were retnembei ed to have
been seen active in the mobbing of Monday. We
are enabled to present the following report of
the trials of such as it was deemed proper to de-
tain :
