LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JELE 12.
IN •RE RIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER.
Mr. HEALD applied to his Lordship to confirm the Master's
report with regard to the Committee of the lunatic. The resuk of
the late traverse was whst had been anticipated by every body.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presumed that there could be no
doubt but that the result of that traverse was what he had Oolong
said it must he; therefore let the Master's report be confirmed, I
subject to any thing that might be said on Friday.
Yr HEALD stated, that he understood all the parties had etin-
sewed that the report should be confirmed ; therefore his Lonlahtp
would experience no difficulty in ordering it now to be done: Rad
as the pattir.g an end to this matter was essential to the peace of
mind of Sir G. P. Turner, and to his Ware comfort, he trusted his
Lordship wonld not hesitate to direct it to be done now.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—And to-morrow morning, perhaps,
somebody will come and say that this case had been mentioned be-
bind their backs.
Mr. HEALD replied, that all the parties were now preseht, and
they all consented.
The Loan CD ArreELtow—l have received letter after letter
front Sir Gregory Page Turner, stating that he never will give his
consent. Yuu have no notion, Mr. Heald, of the turn these sort of
things Like. You mention the subject here, and in half an hour
after someone else comes and complains of what has been done.
You must mention it when all the parties are here.
Mr. HEAL') submitted that they could not recognise Mr. Cor_
be:t, who had appeared for Sir Gregory.
The 1.0 ED Cna:ccr.t.t.on—All the parties should have.aotice,
otherwise it may be productive of inconvenience.
Mr. HEALD said he would mention the case again to his Lord.
ship on Friday next.

POLICE.

MANSION. HOUSE.

Two gentlemen, named Clarks Williamson IVilliams, and
Throw,: Isaacson were brought before the, LORD Mayon, charged
with having acted in a disorderly manner the night before, at the
corner of Gracechurch-street.
The watchman mated, that as he was going along on his beat, at
about half-paet II o'clock, he saw the two gentlemen standing to.
gether in conversation. Soon afterwards two females addressed
them, and the witness went up and desired them all to move on.
The women walked sway without hesitation, but the gentlemen re-
fused to stir until they should finish their conversation ; whereupon
the witness threatened to lodge them In the Compter, and actually
did compel them to take up their residence in that abode during
the whole of the night.
The LORD MAYOR censored the watchman for having taken
into custddy and imprisoned two persons under such circum-
stances.
One of the defendants then told the Lord Mayor that he had a
complaint of rather a serious nature to make against the watchman
and the constable who also attended upon the charge.
The LORD MAYOR immediately desired that the two gentlemen
should make room for the watchman and the constable, anti the
two former became in turn the complainants.
The charge against the two protectors of the public peace was,
that they had taken a dollar from one of the complainants on their
way to the Mansion House. It appeared that the gentlemen, who
could attribute their appr. hension by the watchman to nething but
the wish to extort money from them. asked whether they could not
get away without the trouble of appearing before the Lord Mayor.
fhe watchman, whose can were open to any request of indulgence,
intimated that that could not be, but then the thing might be
softened down if the gemmen pleatted. That hint seas taken, See
%billing% was the condition, and certainly the watchman brought
forwent his charge in a very unwatchniati-like manner, when the
matter can:e to the test.
The LORD MAYOR asked the watch-nen, who was struck
aghast at this untxpected toot upon him, where the as. were? The
watchman said he had them not.
The LORD MAYOR—Why, where are they ?
One of the complainants—No, he certainly has them not. He
and the amenable settled the matter between them, and he !larded
over the bit. to the constable privately.
The constable admitted that the watchman had handed lama
money to him, but then he knew nothing about it;
The Loan MAYOR—What ruothe had the watchman the band-
in over the as. to you ?
The Constable (confused)—Oh! because he bad holes in his
pockets.
The Lord Mayor instantlT suspended the watchman sold the
constable, whose names are NI illit,m Mackey and Henry Pearce,
and sent notice to that effect to the ward in which they are em-
ployed.
A licensed victualler, named Mackay, who keeps the Coach and
Mile& public-house, in the Minorles, was charged by Merchant,
the cunductor of the City patrol. with having kept his house open
until helf-past one o'clock on Sunday mmning, and supplied per.
sons with drink.
The officer stated that he saw several persons, some of whom
were eating, some drinking, and some sleeping, in the defendant's
house. There was no such thing as carrecting the habits of the
house at all. Three, four, and five o'clock in the morning, were
loan at which it was constantly to be seen open.
The defendant declared that his house was most properly con-
ducted.
A person who lived opposite to the house, declared that the
rows which took place at the door of it, at unseasonable hours,
were dreadful.
The Loan MAYOR said, it was evident that the landlord was
not fit to keep the house ; and that it care was not taken, the
cense would be lost.
Merchant said the landlady defied the whole parish. (A laugh.)
The LORD Mayers—Very well; we'll see how she'll like a
good fine. His Lordship then ordered the defendant to pay the
penel.y of 3/.
