LAW' INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCEIIY, Nov. 2S. • 4
-Y
HAMPTON GAT ESTATE.
moot:anon v. SAMMY.
The Less Cnassoattoa gave judgment in dell
cause, the case of which we stated some time back.
He went largely into the merits of the case ; said
he was convinced, from the evidence, that Mrs.
Hugoenine executed the deeds voluntarily. but
without a knowledge of their extent : he was confi-
dent there was no compulsive methods taken, but it
was done through the instance and insinusiions of
Mr. Basely, which proved itself by the letter he
wrote ro Mr. Buck, the Attorney. which she copied,
for the purpose of taking her agency and business
nut of Mr. Buck's hands, and placing them in Mr.
Basely's ; is which letter it mentioned, that Provi-
dence had sent Mr. Basely to protect her. and take
care of her affairs, so as to nick. them easy for Ler
own management afterwards. Whether Mr. Basely
wrote this letter by bee desire, by her consent, or
through his instigation, it was, in his opinion, the
same thing; it &hewed he bad an iolluence over her,
by what means attained, Mere was no evidence ; he
could not say it was by worldly or Wive* in*.
ratios. and having that iallitence, It "hj dot to
have prevented her from doing lin imps per
a% Equity could never conceive A WOMBI,
en the eve of marriage, would give away an estate
of 6101. a year, to a person whom she only had
known a few months before, for an annuity of 4001.
a year for her life time, without any collateral secu-
rity, not only give it to Basely for life. but
so his wife aid children, and their heirs, with re-
mainder to Mrs. Huguenin ; this woman was nut
without relatives and friends, but it does not ap-
pear in evidence, that Mr. Basely, although
knowing there vivre such persons, ever in-
formed them of the irn;aropfr ea Mrs. Huguenin*
intended to do. He considered it as a case of gene-
ral utility, and, as such, that Court was obligated to
set aside the deeds, and that Mrs. Htiguenine should
take possession, allowing for material unpotr c-
ements.

CONTEMPT or COURT.
The Loan Cd A mciLLos took the opportinity of
stating, that in the case of the Author and Pub-
lithe, of the libel, in 1.4 e Lop! Vegister Newspaper,
in the cause of Whitelock Sydenham, be urea of
opinion, if it accorded with the Counsel employed,
to let the business drop. At the same time, be felt
it his dery to pronounce that publication as the
grossest libel on the Commissioners, who bad be-
h ived extremely well, ant was impossible to re-
concile it with any &same ever promulgated in
that court, but as the grossest contempt of its
j tti.didion.
