that Mourel►ouse mod Thump-on were persons be uml
all others which the sight of irritated the lunatic
most. It would be seen that the Petitioners wile
in the habit of borrowing money from their nude
the lunatic, and that Moorhouse had connexion
with the lunatic en the Stock Exchange, and wee
in the habit of receiving 8004 a year from the
lunatic for brokerage. The affidavit of Mr. Gil-
mail stated that Mcroehoure and Thoinpvon were re-
fused *rens to the lunatic on at eogar of their chase
to Miss Allendale. and of Mr. and Mrs. Yarns'.
bat hr denied that Street was never refused
access to the lunatic; that when be (Gilinsi9 was
called in to attend the lunatic tin his character
of a surgeon, he found him living at the Gate-
hotter, Highgate, where he had been residing for
some time, on which he recommended it to Mr.
and Mrr. Yarnal, they being the brother send sister
of the lunatic, to take posvession of the house
in Hortorey-lane. It was not true that the certifi-
cate fur the' wormed or the kook to Fisher
House had been signed by ,Gilman.and Vernal,
but by Sir George Toth'', who was called in
to attend the lunatic by Gilman, rod be signed a
certificate for his removal to a licensed house for the
purpose of receiving lunatics. Dr. Burroughs, who
was sent by Street to visit the lunatic, was of the
same opinion as Sir George Tuthll as to the state of
his mind, irliliough he said nothing as to the luna-
tic being a fit object fora lunatic asylum.
The LORD CH•NcRLI.oft.—" Sir George Tuthill
only says, that the lunatic IS a fit object fur such an
asylum, if no other could be found for him."
Mr. PHILLIMORt, in continuation, contended
that the petition was unnecessary, as proceedings
were pending in the Master's office.
Mr. HART was shout to reply.
The LORD COANsILLOR-..." Part of the prayer
is of touter. Let Yarnel turd wife give au act on' by
affidavit before the Master of all the property of
the lunatic that hits come into their possession since
May last. Let Gilman bring into the Master's
office all deeds, papers. Sec. in his possession
belonging to the lunatic, and let him also bring
in all letters he may have received from the lunatic,
a. they may tend to shew the state of his mind.—
Without saving any thing now in respect to Moore-
house and Thompson having access to the lunatic,
let Mr. Street be at liberty to visit the lunatic."

The LORD CHANCRI.I.Oa observed, tint 4r had
received copies of the affidavits in opposition to the
petition, but lie had not received those in support
of it. He wished to know if they had been Mod.
If they were, he would wish copies of them to be
handed to him, and when he had read them, he
would mention a days for hearing the case.
Mr. SHSDWELL sitid he knew the affidavits had
been prepared, but he could not undertake to say
whether they had been filed or not. He would send
to his client to ascertain that fact. .

mimes who lied been eartnined, he would not need-

Verdict fur the Plaintiff—Damages, 441. 66.
I.IIIIIAN V. WILSON.
When this rame was called on, the Went/ant.
applied, in person, to put off the trial, on the
ground of the absence of a material witness; but
the Plaintiff's wlineoses brink all in attendance,
and the Defendant's affidavit not being satisfactory,
the canoe went on.

Mr. Guam sad, this was an action to recover
• compensation in damages fur a malicious prosecu-
tion sod false imprisonment, under the circum-
stances which lie should state to the Jury, sod
which, he was persuaded, were burl) as they would
maik their sense of by exemplary damages. The
Plaintiff had taken a house in the vicinity of Spa-
fields, from a moos mooed Norris, but being
dissatisfied with it, he gave notice to quit at
to Norris, mid placed bills about the swish.
bourhoort of the premix, bring to let. 00
the 18th September, 1841. • lodger of Mr. Lit-
mutt's, named Price, ordered a caravan to the
door, arid was shout to remove her goods, when
the Defendant came up, and claimed certain
ground-rent as due to hien from Norris. He behaved
on that occasion iii a most irregular wanner, and
put a IMMIX, of working brick-makers into posses-
sion, under • distress warrant, the broker not being
prevent whose oanse was in that warrant, and
finally lie committed an outrageoous assault on
Mrs. Price. For that assault an action was com-
menced against him by Mr. Price, and on the day
the cause was to have been tried, the recoid was
withdrawn by the Plaintiff, on account of the ab-
sence of so important witness. The Defendant
having then learnt the names of all the persons who
were tribe called as witnews against him, hit upon
a notable expedient, as lie (Mr. Gurney) supposed,
to deter them from proceeding against him in the
action for the assault. This device of his was no
other than preferring • bill of indictment at the
Quarter Sessions for a conspiracy to defraud him of
his rent, in which he included not only the Plaits-
tiff in this case, bat every one of the parties who
were present at the transaction of the 18th Sep-
tember, and had them taken into custody and de-
tained till they procured bail. And this was seven
.months after that transaction had taken place,
during all which time he had lain by and slept
upon this supposed conspiracy. In the iudict-
atent he had included persons who had not even
kwen each other before the transaction took place.—
'He had included Mr. Dudley, who was the oppo-
site neighbour to Mr. Leeman, and who had gone
over on hearing the cry of " Murder !" from Mrs.
Price. He had included Mr. Reynolds. who was
the owner of the caravan hired by Mrs. Price to re.
move the goods, but whoa PO far from being a party
to any conspiracy, bud for tome time been confined
to his bed from the effects of an accident. He af-
terwards removed the iudictment into the Court or
King's Bench, and when it should have come oil for
trial he called no witnesses, and the parties were of
course acquitted. For this unfounded charge, for
which there was not even a shadow of reason, Mr.
Litman now sought to recover a compensation at the
hands of the Jury. More oppressive conduct could
hardly be imagined than had been pursued by this
rich builder against these poor people, and his con-
duct to-day in seeking to put oil the trial on a futile
pretence, was of a piece with every other part of
his behaviour.
The Learned Counsel then called his witnesses,
who fully substantiated the facts stated.
No Counsel being instructed for the Defendant,
and the Plaintiff', case being closed—
The Cum Jurrice summed up the evidence.
His Lordship observed, that if the Jury, on the evi-
dence, were of opinion that there was no cause for
the prosecution which the Defendant had instituted
against the Plaintiff, then their verdict would be
for the Plaintiff, with such temperate (images as
they might think proper. The expense of the pro-
secution was upwards of 1001., but the Jury, in a
case like this, need not limit their damages to the
expenses actually incurred, but Kite such further
sum us they might thick the Plaintiff deserved fur
the stalely and trouble to which he had been sub-
jected.
The Jury retired for half an hour, and on their
return fused a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages,
400/.
REYNOLDS B. WILSON.
PRICE B. WILSON.
These were two similar actions against the same
Defendant, arising out of the Lame transaction. In'
each the verdict was for the Plaintiff.
The Jury in the first case gave damages 1501.;
and in the second 501.
LADY BRANSCOMB D. BRIDGES AND FLRMING.
Mr. GURNEY stated the Plaintiff's case to the
Jury. The Defendants were tailors, residing in •
Blenheim-street, near Bond-street ; in their house
the Plaintiff, who was the widow of the late Sir Jas.
Branscuanh, had apartments. She was about to
remove, and on her return to town a few days
before the quarter day, she was accosted by the
Defendant Fleming, who, in a very insolent man-
lier, demanded his rent; the money was tendered
to him, but he refused it, and insisted on putting
in a distress, and actually took furniture valued at
between 301. and 401. for 101. 10s. the amount of
the rent due. It was now for the Jury to say what
damages should be paid for such conduct.
Mr. Henry White Parsons, stated that be was
with Lady Branscomb, on the 9th October, when
the Defendant, Fleming, came into the apartment.
At first, the conversation was about some fixtures,
which he refused to take at the value which Lady
Branacomb's broker had fixed on them, and then
asked for his rent in a very angry manner. Lady
Branscomb was sitting, with the money in her hand,
and she said, " Here is your rent, Mr. Fleming."—
The money consisted of ten sovereigns, acid ten
shillings in silver. Fleming then hallooed out for
his and several of the tailors came into the
room, and Fleming told them to do their duty....

Mr. Branscomb, ion of the Platontf, wag preseti
when the 11111011PY was tendered.
Two Brokers were called, who bud Valued the

were seized, 25/. lOs.

Mr. Coattitt said, that under the second count
of the declaration, he could go tor the damages
consequent on the defendants' conduct. In that
Court the 101. 10s. was acknowledged to be due
for rent, but it was alleged that goods to the value
of 301. had been taken.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Lmoot.i's
FILIDAY, DICEIIIIIIIIII 6.
0 BOUM If IttErtat AND ROBERT BROUGHTON, IX
THR HATTeR OF RALPH FENTUM, A LUNATIC.
Mr. HART stated this was the petition of the
nephew and niece of she lunatic by her husband,
praying that a Mr. Yarmil and his wife might be
directed to give an account of all property that had
Came into their possession belonging to the lunatic
Aisne the 116th of May last, the time the commis.
inn issued against the lunatic; end that Mr.
Gnomes sod Mr. Yarual should be directed to
lodge in the Master's office all deeds, papers,
and letters in their possession belonging to the
lunatic; and that Mr. Thompson, Mr. Moorehouse,
and Mr. Street, should have accents to the lunatic ;
and that it should be referred to the Master to in-
quire what sum had been expended for the mode-
oance of the lunatic from the 26th of May. The
petition stated that the lunatic had been attended
by a Mr. James Gilman, a snrgeon, and was allow-
ed to live at the Gate House Inu, at Highgate, uo-
der the care of a keeper, although he had a house
furnished in Hornsey-lane; that Venial and his wife
took possession of the houseand furniture in Hortisey.
lane, and Yarnal was a person who had taken the
benefit of the Insolvent Act in the year 1813 ; that
the lunatic less afterwards sent to Fisher House, at
Islington, an asylum for lunatic., by virtue of a
certificate signed by Yarns! and Gilman. During
the time the lunatic was at the Gate House he was
permitted to incur I debts. Mr. Moorehouse,
Mr. Thompson, and Mr Street, the intimate friends
of the lunatic, were refused 11Cer114 to him by the
order of Yarns! and Gilman. The petition was
supported by affidavits, verifying the fact of Terrorl
and his wife having possessed themselves of the
house of the lunatic in Hornsey-lone. Yarnal and
Gilman had filed an affidavit last night, which was
full of abuse of the petitioners, the nephew and
niece of the lunatic, and they objected to Moore-
house and Thompson having access to the lunatic, on
the ground that they were connected with the Stock
Exchange, where the lunatic had done much busi-
ness, and their presence would irritate him. The
lunatic, the Learned Counsel observed, was not in
dangerous state of lunacy, he suffered merely
under a delusion of mind that a person of the tissue
of Sparks was following him for the purpose of
killing him, and was not in that state which would
authorize any person to direct that his friends should
not have access to him. It was therefore important
that his Lordship should make an order, giving
them access to the lunatic. The question relative
to the Committee of the person of the lunatic, he
believed, was in dispute in the Master's Office.
Under those circumstances he bad no doubt but
his Lordship would grout the prayer of the petition.
Mr. WHIT 11•11.11 and Mr. WILLIS followed ou
the same aide.
Mr. HsaA.D appeared for two of the next of kin
of the lunatic, who were ready to submit to soy
order his Lordship might think proper to make.
Mr. Puict.tmosit, Counsel fur Mr. and Mrs.
Yarns!, stated, that although the petition was in
the names of the nephew and niece of the lunatic,
it was, in fact, the petition of Street and Moore-
house.. Before they asked for a reference to the
Master, they ought to have 'hewn that Yarnal
refused to account for the property of the lunatic
that had come into his possession,' or that Mr.
Gilman had refused to deliver up the deeds.—
In fact, the one was ready to stemma, and the
other to deliver up the deeds. As to Thompson,
Moorehouse. and Street harms seem to the lu-
natic at all reasonable times, the medical men were
the best judges as to who ought to see the lunatic.
It appeared by the affidavits of Miss Allendale, the
• housekeeper of Fisher House, and two medical men,

The Cour Jorrica thought the action main.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL then addressed the
Jury for the Defendants, and urged the improba-
bility of the account given by the first witness, that
the Defendants, who were respectable treiteiimen.and
whose only object was to get payment of thei► rent,
should have chosen to have refused it when offered.

Friend (Mr. Gurney) ought to hare corroborated
the account by the testimony of young Mr. Brats-
comb, who was present, according to that tetihees'a
account, when the money was tendeted.
The Learned Counsel then called two brokers,
who bad valued the goods seised at 131.
Mr. GURNEY replied.
The CHIEI JuITICI, in summing up the evi-
dence. observed, that the Jury would judge front
the evidence whether the distrees was excessive, and
taken maliciously with a view to injure the Plaintiff.
If they thought it ws,, the next question was the
damages. It appeared the Plaintiff had not actu-
ally sustained much inconvenience, or incurred any
very great expense, as none of the goods were sou-
illy sold. The Jury found a verdict fur the Plain-
tiff—Damages 5/.

the farm as a yearly tenant, and tl.e terms of the
agreement were, that he should treat the farm in a
linshandmanlike manner. The simple goestioit
then to be tried was this, whether the Defendant
had or had not violated the agreement.

whether the farm had received good or ill treatment.

FRIDAY, DICIUMBEII I.
Bofors the LORD CHIEF JUIVIFICE and Common Juriss.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE commented nylon
the evidence, and stated to the Jury his opinion,
that the Plaintiff had failed in substantiating his
case, and they, without a moment's hesitation, re.
turned a verdict for the Defendant.

BCRNASCONI V. REECE.
Mr. GURNIY stated that the Plaintiffs in this
case were eminent plasterers. The present action
was brought to recover 514/. 64. for work done for
the Defendant, who was well known in Courts of
Justice as well as out of them. He had established
• Medical Hall in Piccadilly, and was desirous of
setting up another iii Somers Town, in partnership
with a Mr. Want, who had since become bankrupt.
At the house taken by the Defendant, in Claren-
don-square, the work had been done, and the Plain-
tiffs had applied for payment to the Defendant as
