has depended for success, not ou variety of silos-

on the strikirg cuotrast of the two principal male
characters, and the laughable delineation of that
most preposterous of all things, an amorous old
woman, in the person of Mrs. Dido. The humour
of the farce is of the broadest description—some-
times indeed it is tinctured with grossness and vul-
garity. There is, however. much to laugh st—
and, if those occasional indelicacies to which we
have alluded were expunged, we think Belford
and Minton would afford considerable amuse-
ment. The ardent temper of Bounce, who is
a moving thuinh-bottle of aqua fortis," was
• . bly described by :Mr. TERRY—Nod the

DAV EN PORT, as Mrs. Dido, acted with her wonted
humour. The parts of Sparkle and Maria were
well tat•l;iined by Mr. Bsuusau and Miss E.
Bbancitsau.
The piece met atilt considerable opposition in its
progress, particularly during the perlormance of the
second act. indeed, we think the opposiog party
pliewed, in several instances. more spleen than
judgment, and expressed diaapprobation where it
was nut fairly deserved.

on the 6th instant, moved for an mjuncti 0000 to re.

goo locks made on the principle carried into effect
by the Plaintiff, and for which hr had received a
potent in the year 1807. On that occasion the
Lord Chancellor directed the motion to stand over,
to give the Plaintiff an opportunity of snaking au-
affidavit, whether the Defendant had any kolow.
ledge of the action brought by the Plaintiff
:against a Mr. Riviera for a klillolar breach of the po-
tent, and in which action he. the Plaintiff, hail oh-
toasted a verdict its the Court of King's Bench in
the mouth of May last.
The ATTORNEY-GENERA t. this dry stated, that
the affidavit required by his Lordship had been
made, which set forth, that the Defendant did not
only know of the action brought against Ravarre
and the result of it, hut had been present during
the trial at law, wiring every assistsuce that lie pni•
/.1 illy Could to liiviere. 1u reply to this affidavit,
there liad been three filed, but they merely went to
prove that the speediest to the PI
was informal. lie would not comment no them,
fur in fact they deserved none. He had there-
fore no doubt that his Lordship would grant the
tojusactiou.
Mr. HoatiLLY followed on the same side.
Mr. Hoax E, Counsel for the Defendant, can.
tended, that the Plaintiff was not entitled to relief,
es the application to the Conn had been protracted
unnecessarily. The Plaintiff llll4 iwrfeet know-
ledge that the Defendant was making and sellnig
the locks complained of fur the last two years, sod
he had not taken any steps to prevent it. lie
would ask, if the Plaintiff thought that the verdict
in the action at law Heim% Riviera was in his favour,
and militated in the least against the Defendant,
why he did not directly make an application to his
Lordship for relief, after he had obtained that ver-
dict, if he thought his patent was fully established
by it ? But the fact was, that the specification of
the patent the Plaintiff had obtained was so little
explanatory and so obscure, that it was impossible
for any man to know what the pateut was granted
for. Under those circumstances, he had no doubt
but his Lordship would dismiss the motion with
Costs.
The LORD CIIANCEI.T.OR--" On the same prin-
ciple that I laid down it) the case of Harmer v. Lee,
which was that there might be a specification to a
patent so obscure and defective, that this Court
could not iitterfere in the first instance. There
was a case lately before me where there was n patent
for drying malt by which a good brown colour was
given to beer, or, in other words, made weak beer
appear as strong. I certainly had some doubts as
to the validity of the specification, and it went to a
Court of Law, where it was decided that it was
had, and there was an end of the patent. In the
present case many objections have been taken to the
specification of the potent, and perhaps proper ones,
but it was more applicable that they should he argued
and decided iii a Court of Law. After taking this
case into full consideration, I will leave it tattle De-
fendant to do one of two things : —For him to un-
dertake to deliver every fortnight an account of all
gulls. &c. which he may sell with the locks com-
plained of, and also of the profits arising from such
sale until an action is tried at law. If he under-
takes to do this, I will grant a qualified injunction;
if he does slot, I must grind a common injunction. 1
will give him uutil Monday to make his option."
The Court was occupied stunt half-pact four
o'clock in hearing bankrupt petition* of no *lowest
except to the parties concerned, at which hour Ins
Lordship rose.

VICE.CHANCELLOICS COURT, laxaosois.lxv,
FRIDAY, AUGUST 13.

The Vicit-CH acatton did not come into Court
this day till one o'clock.
THE LADY DOWAGER BARONS'S, NEWBURGH C.
TILE GUARDIANS OF LORD NEWIIUMGH AND THE
HON. WYNN, MINORS.
Mr. ROUPELL elided, that the objects of this
petition had been two ; the first, however, that his
Lordship would restrain the gisartliana of the infants
boon reinovitig them to the Continent, had been
rendered unnecessary, in consequeoce of a letter re-
ceived last night by the Solicitor of Lsdy Newburgh
from the Solicitor for the guardians, advising him
that all iiitentimi of that step had been abandoned.
The only remaining one was, that the busters of
the late Lord Newburgh's estates might be direct-
ed by the Court to let the inatision-house railed the -
Abbey to Lady Newburgh during the minority of
the present Lout, at a reasonable resit, pursuant to
the directions in the will of the deceased ; and that
it might he referred teL the Master to deterinute
what was a reasonable rent fur the same. Mr.
Roupell then read the passage 111 question from the
will, when—
Sir A. litnnorr observed, that the testator, the
late Lord. had hero teninit for life, and thetrfwe
had out the power to make such a diepositiou of the
house in question.
Mr. ROUPEN. replied, that in strictness of law.
he certimily hail not the power. but as hr had lied
oilier estates of considerable value, which hr had a
tight to dispose of as lie thought proper, and as he
had devised these to his eldest sou, he Misted the
Court would see it equitable and reasonable that
that disposition for the beurfit of the widow should .
be enforced. Lady Newburgh had not resided in
this country for some• One ; she had married a
Russian Nobleman some years ago, and of late
resided on the Continent. but in her petition she
alleged that she had come to this country to con-
tinue here permanently. and resolved so to do.
Sir A. PIGGOTT, On the opposite side, said, that
the moment it had been suggested to the guatiliatis,
OW it was not proper they should take the infante
ant of the kingdom, they had given top the idea.
Tbe reuse's of their ititeuding, as they hart, to take

she might be, which would certainly be quite fee

sat clear, being, that Lady Newburgh plumbd have
the option of renting the snamion as long as she
cootiourd • widow. In addition to what lie had
stated, he was instructed to say, that Lard New.
burgh would not live at the Abbey if his mother
were allowed to reside there.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—" Is there any direc-
tion m the will that the children should reside at
this house ?"
Mr. ItOUPFLI. replied in the negative.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he wished the
Counsel would read to him any part of the will. if
there was soy, which provided that the Abbey should
be rented by Lady Newburgh only during her
widowhood.
Sir A. PIGGOTT intimated that there was not any
such provis ~,,, .
The Vics-CHANCELLOR said, that in this case
it appeared to be beneficial to the infants that the
house should he let to Lady Newburgh during the
minority, at it reasonable rent ; for tk• trustees
were !mond to keep the house, offices, end gardens
in repair, doting the minority. and weer prohibited
from letting them to any other person. If Lady
Newburgh, then, did not get the mansion, it must
remain it. their own hands--and the question came
to this, whether the infants should get a rent from
their mother, or nn rent ?
Sir A. I'IGGOTT—" Considering the nature and
objects of the will, it is necessarily to be inferred,
that Lord Newburgh intended his witlow should be
entitled to rent the house only during her widow.
loud. It' it were otherwise. she might marry a
tailor, a tinker, or any one hem the dregs of so-
ciety, bring him to this seat of a noble family, sud
insist she had a right to keep hum there."
The VICE-CHANCELLOR-I'B Does she receive
any income f the trustees ?"
Mr. HOUMA replied she did; 1,700/. a-year.
The VICE•CHANCELLOR—" I shall then require
of her to consent that the trustees shall have liberty
to deduct from this income what the Master may
determine to be a reasonable rent. Possibly she
may nut take the house after his report. Refer it
to thr Moister, to determine what is a reasonable
rent for Lady Newburgh to pay during the minority
of Lord Newburgh. iu respect of this house called
the Abbey, and reserve the ether questions."

BANKRUPT PETITION
EX-PARTS sUTTON IN THE BATTU OF BRUNTON.
This was a petition from the surviving assignees
of the bankrupt, to compel Mr. Lowe, a solicitor,
to give up certain proceedings under the commis-
'ion, of which he was possessed as solicitor to the
imam; and also that it might be referred to the
Master to tax the bill of costs of the said Mr.
Lowe up to the naming of the assignees, it having
been taxed by the Commissioners, and paid three
years ago, but amounting to 1141. 15s. 2d. with
above 15/. for messengers' bills.
Mr. Hose had mentioned the petition on a for-
mer day, on which occasion the Court appeared to
be of opinion, that to refer the bill to the Master to
be reviewed, after taxation by the Commissioners,
would trench on the jurisdiction expressly assigned
the latter by an Act of Geo. 11. but allowed the
Counsel to bring forward the case again, after hav-
ing looked into the authorities.
hh; Ron accordingly appeared again on behalf
of the Petitioners, and cited a passage from a work
of Mr. Christian. in support of the petition. and a
case where a reference similar to that prayed for
respecting the bill of costs. having among other
matte's been referred to one of the Masters, he
foe bore biting it, *tiding it as his reason that he did
not conceive he had authority, and that it was the
intention of the Lord Chancellor should do so—
whereupon it was sent boa to him. with s particu-
lar injunction to review and tax it.
The Vtte-CHANCELLOR here said, that he was
confirmed in his former opinion by every thing
which had fallen from Mr. Roses inasmuch as the
present petition merely stated the amount of the
bill. 11211. 151. 2d. in a country commission up to
a certain time ; that of a town commission being, it
was said, about 501. and leaving it to be inferred
front that that it was an exorbitant one, without
alleging any specific overcharges in distinct items.
Mr. Rose observed, it was impossible the Peti-
tioners. could do what was last merit ed, because
;dr. Lowe had constantly refused to furnish them
with the hill, so that they were quite unacquainted
with 'the items.
The Vlcs:-CIIANCEI.I.Oit said, that that was a
mostimportant fact ; mu ordisiary cases, it was es-
sential that the party should allege specific g ds
of objection. hut the Court could not stop a party
in the possuit of justice, became he had not done
thin which he swore-here he had no possible errant
of iltiing.
Mr. -KOUPELL. on the opposite side. wished that
liberty- should be given .to Mr. Lowe to put in nn
affidavit. which, he said, would alter the view of the
case. As to the proceeding', there was.no objection
to giving them up.
The VICIA:BANCELLOIL determined to confine
his order to the proceedings. allowing Mr. Lowe to
tile affidavit, stud reserving the remainder of the
Cause till •then.
