tioa of Alt% Rude'', the Rector of the 'saris!) of Re-

and others, trustees for managing the corporate
charities of these parishes, mid of a chaplutury ad-
joining; and it was now asked, on the part ni the
Plaintiff, that a Receiver should, in the ineau
time, be appointed.
Sir SAMIJKL ItuNH.LY and Mr. Rau. for the
Pialittirf, stated, that in the reign of Fleury VIII.
the tithes of the lands in these two parishes, and iu
an nit oisii+t; Litaplaiury, were made over as a clue.

vicar in each of the two parishes, for endowment of
a free selmal. and the support 014 inEulscr of boys;
and, WICr these objects • wine accomplished, for
other good and charitable purposes within the pa.
s is:tea. In the reign of Edward VI. the trustee* of
the drnity were ettocted into a corporation ; and,
iii -that of James 1. a decree was obtained, in the
Court of Es;chequer, designating the olajetis of the
trust, as already apecided, and declaring that the
funds shouid on nu account be in any ways apidied
to this use of the trustees themselves, ar of other pt r-
sopofwealthori.sHuruce. At the date of th.sdecree,
heart{ the tt`2l of James I. the tithes in qucstioi
ainounted to 11001. At this moment, 'wars" at the
distance of two centuries, they aid taut yield wore
tho., 13001. although it was swyra•that the value of
tin ,u tithes, amounted to, if they did nut exceed,
3,001. Tlw trustees themselves were in the actual

16,000 acres, and, although it was not adege4 tint granted compositions of tutu own tithes sit

tient to infer a gross sail ataadalous breach of

on a,, average, at the rate of sixpence per ponad.---
It was th;frefore essential to the purposes al* the

were only guilty of an error iu jutzurent, w,•l. h
they were willing to merest. That ilea relators mid

gret, that the universal feelings of trustees for
public charities armed to be agreeable to an old
aid improper proverb, that " Charity begins at

from him should tend to eirow an odium on say
individuals entrastud with the care of a fond for
charitable parposes, but hr thought it his ma-
doubted duty to direct the Master to call 011 the
trustees to prooloce the notices they had assc.ted

Master should be authorised to appoint a receiver.

and was faGiut iisfeep, when he felt his watch be-
ing drawn from his pocket. This roused him, hut
the Prisoner threw himself upon the Prosecutor,
drove his knees in his stomach, and took albay his
watch by force. The Prisoner then ran away, and
the Prosecutor went to a neighbour's house

and saw him at the bottom of Wye-hill. The pro-

with great inhumanity. The old man stated, that
he had been the over night to a nice at Elmsly, arid
be was returning home about three in the morn-

denied the charge. lie snitkred the Prisoner to go
away, but bearii.g. a few hoar. afterwards, that the
