COURT OF CHANCERY.
LINCOLN'S INN, MONDAY, DEC. 24.

Law:

CURATE OF ST. JAMES'S, CLERKENWEI.L.
00 ft, LENNON, and OTHERS V. POSTER,
COMB, and OTIII.RS.
This Caitse came on to be heard upon Petition on
xal and "Information, for an Injunetion to restrain
of London from granting a Licence to
Rev. Mr. Foster, who had been elected to the
,re of St. James's, Clerkenwell. This case ex-
erd much interest in the parish, in consequence
which, the Court was exceedingly crowded.
The ATTUANFISI GENERAL opened the case on the
fart of the Complainants: he stated, that this suit
eiginated in the eleetion of a curate for the above-
mentioned parish, and it was neevisary for him, on
xis first setting out, to state to the Court iii what
manner it became an elettion cure. The rectory
ormerly belonged to the ancient monastery of Clerk-
re, .11, and became vested in the Crown in the reign
it,tieen Elizabeth. In the 3ed year of Her Majesty's
rev, she granted the rectory to Edmond Denney
' and Roger Grant, from whom it descended to Ed-
ward Drake. In the year 1656, the parishioners
;geed to purchase the rectory, out of the poor-rates,
far their own benefit. Trustees were named, and
conveyances made to them in trust for the parishion-
ers and inhabitants, with a reservation of al 18s. 9,1.
per annum made to the cur ate.
After this purchase had been soconcluded. the see&
sal vacancies which took place were filled up by
tleCtion held at public vestries, and the persons so
tieeted were nominated by the Tritstees to the
Bishop of London, who granted thesis a licence ac-
cordingly, far the purpose of officiating in that
parish. In the year 174.3, the Rev. Mr. Dowty
was duly ele,fted, and :Ord in the capacity of
Curate, until the year 1768, when he died : two
candidates for the Cure then started, upon which
the Church-ward:ls, being the ailing officers, agreed
to enter into certain regulations for the purpose of
candu:ting the ele,Ftion. It -was agreed that
vie inhabitants, renting above forty shadings
year, should be allowed to rote. Mr. Right, one of
the Church-wardens, admitted ell persons claiming
under this desctiption to vote; but Mr. Rutter, the
other church-warden, would not submit to this, and
retire i to the Vestre-room, while Right repaired to
the church, and then took the eletilieln. The Rev.
Mr. Nicholls, one of the candidates, was declared
duly elected by Right, while it utter insisted that
&lion, the other candidate, had the majority.
in consequenee of this, an intormation was filed
against Nicholls in Michaelmas Term, 1763; and
Sellon alsn exhibited his bill in the Exchequer in
Hidary 'rum, 1769. It seas thee ordered that
both sitonid come on together, and in 1770, the
Court, after mature consideration, declared thAn the
right of eleaion was only in the parishioners an 1
inhabitants paying poor's and clergy's rates, &c.
and also declared the eltilion et both candidates
void, and ordered them to proceed to a new
ballot, when the Revere; :f Mr. •1., o. was duly
chosen. In the year 179 n, Mr. Sellon died,
in whose room the Rev:tend tifr. Davis was
eleitrd. By this time the trust became vested in
two lathes of the name of Hawkins, Defendants in
this cause, who were the heiresses of the last trustee.
On the decease of Mr. Davis, Messrs. Lennon and
Fostet declared themselves candidate, for the va-
cant Cure; and, on the 19th of July, 1303, a meet •
mg of the parishite,ers WAS ,1141 i, and, it WAS pr,-
posed, thee the friends of each candidate should
meet, and agree on certain resolutions to regulate
the election. On the mid, a vestry was held, and
sir gentlemen were a,Ottainated on the part of each
candidate to condua the elettiou, a': 1 six regelations
were entered into, one of which was, that all per-
sons who had been assessed for ra'es of church and
poor should be allowed to vote, Ste On the '2Oth
of July the Eieetion came on befor • Newcombe
and Puller, who were then Church-wardens, and at
the close of the poll there appeared for Mr. Len-
non, 1047, and for Mr. Foster, 1105 ; the latter
gentleman carrying it by a majority of 5,t. A
scrutiny was then demanded on both sides, and
granted. The Church-wardens afterwards formed
regulations for conducting the scrutiny, and the
candidates entered into bonds a the purpose of in-
dernailying the Churchwardens against any ex-
penses they might be put to. This scrutiny was
fi•,:,,1 so commence on the 3d of September, when
t;:c.• parties met, and the necessary regulations were
made. In order that every thing might be perfectly
correct, the Church-wardens had engaged Mr.
Reader, an eminent Barrister, as their assessor. Mr.
leenum had Mr. Scrjeant Sellon as his Counsel,
arr. I was employed on the pert of Mr.
and spoke at some length upon the legality
of the scrutiny, Mr. Serjeant Sellon not being pre-
p med to Answer the Learned Counsel's arguments,
required till the next day to prepare himself, when
he was heard upon the several points made by Mr
Dancy. The assessor having heard the arguments
on both sides, desired that he might have time t.
consider them before he would decide; after this
the p titles would not be hound by the event of the
sc, 71tiny : in the end the Church-wardens determined
it, and it was determined to submit it to the
t • :mkration of the Court. The parishioners and
et.iabitauti were prevailed iieun to make their re-
e,entatives to the British, in consequence of
which the injunction was sought. The bill charged
an undue election, and unlawinl and partial pro-
ceedings thereon. The Defendants had put in their
answer, and thereby denied ell partiality or im-
pt,,:trr motives or preference; they admitted they
were employed as Delegves, and belonged to the
Society of Associated Friends, of which the De-
LetdAnt, Mr. Foster, was Also a Member ; they had
carried a message from the Committee of one Can-
didate to that of another, but used no partiality or
preference whatever. They admitted that the
Decree in the Court of Exchequer was right ; but
they contended that it was ambiguous in its terms,
and they were therefore obliged to come to the re-
gulations under which they proceeded to the elec-
‘ tion. They alleged that the custom of not pitying
the mates till the year had expired, seas customary
and usual. Upon the second regulation, by which
all person; rased for 1804, whether they had paid or
not, were allowed to vote, except legally discharged
cr poor; he contended that persons might be
rated, and never called upon to pay those rates, and
the right to assessment to pavans paying, would be

, '

extending a ti::11; to vote to every person in the parish:
he therefore submitted to his Lordship that a great
number of persons had been allowed to vote without
any legal qualification ; and the question was, whe-
ther die election had been conduCled fairly and pro-
perly ; and, upon this point, he conceived it was
quite clear, th it no due eleCtio i had taken place : it
was much to be regretted, that the length of the
scrutiny had not been gone into, as it would have
decided the real state of the poll. He than, in a
very long and able argument, laid the distinClion
between parishioners and inhabitants ; and, in con-
clusion, trusted his Lordship would see that the
eleCtion was not satisfaanry, but that it was repug-
nant, and not at all cord:irritable to the real ri hts
of persons entitled to vote; and that thereto* his
Lordship would be of opinion, that the injuriction
should go.
Mr. Rico ARDS followed cm the same side.
Mr. ROMILLY, on the part of the Defendants,
entered into a very long and learned argument upon
the whole of the case, and contended that the par.
ties must have understood this mode of eleCtion per-
fectly well ; but, because it had not succeeded, they
went on the oilier ground of scrutinising the votes,
where they thought they might have a chance; hilt,
having again failed, or being apprehensive of failure
upon this, they had, at last, resorted to the pre-
sent mode : he then enlarged upon the constration
which he conceived should be put upon the decree
pronounced in the Court of Exchequer, and upon
the real and true meaning of the terms of parishioner
and inhabitant, therein mentioned, upon the right
of assessing the rates, &c. &c.
The Loan CII ANCELLOR, after hearing a num.
ber of Counsel on both sides, and the ATTORNEY
GEN r.k AL in reply, observed, that it did not signify
whither the churchwardens were or were not parties
to this suit, nothing appeared to charge them, aad
they left toe Court not at all affefted by any thing
that passed. The Omit could not eateitain the
suit merely upon the grounds of any litigation that '
might hereafter happen. If it appeared that an
eleftion had been duly had, the cause was com-
pletely out of Court; as to the deed of pur-
chase in the year 1(58, it was perfeAly silent
as to whose duty it was to scrutinise any such elec-
tion. The trustees had derived their right to aft
from their reltrdi qui trust, who had a right to call
upon those trustees ; and, as to the right of nominat-
ing .o the bishop, that rested with the parishioners.
After many more preliminary observatio.is upon
the construilion of the former decrees, pronounced
by Lord Hardwick, of the construetion on the
words necessary to form a decisive opinion, and
upon the meaning of parishioners and inhabitants ;
his Lordship declared, that he felt it a case of great
importance, and therefore should give it a full con-
sideration before he would make his final order
upon it.
The cause, therefore, stop I over for a future Jay.
His Lordship then intimat d to the Gentlemen
concetned in the matter of Bennett, a bankrupt (of
which we gave a report in our paper of yester-
day), that, as to that part of the case relative to
General Harris's purchase, he should take further
time to consider of it.
His Lordship further inti.n.tted, that he should
sit again on the 10th of January neat, for the pur-
pose of disposing of the remaining petitions.

This waiall36t lar;uintlsythe Plaintiffs, linen
drap..rs, against the De1....5.t ant, one of the door-
keepers at Covent-Garden Ihcatre, Mr goods sold
and delivered to his wife, from whom he had heel
for some time separated.
Serj -ant SHEPIIEiti), in stating the case of the
Plaintiff, said, that though he was nut in reality
employed as Counsel for the wife of the .Defendant;
yet the s' anneful manner in which she WA6 treated
by her 113;h:end, obliged him to declare her wrongs
in open Court, and he had no doubt of obtaining a
verdi,!t, when lee would ;rove these goods were
got ; and that the fifteen pounds, which were Ilia
value of them, were all that ha been!charged to the
Defendant, for nec_us 'nes for his wife, during the
last three years that they had heed separate.
After the Defendant's marriage was proved, Mr.
Campbell was called, who said, that Mrs. Rogers
lodged in his house, and that he saw Mr. Bolton
leave a parcel of linen and cotton goods at his
house for her ; aid that, from what he knew of her,
he considered her condua as meritorious.
On his cross-examination, he said he had, some
time ago, summoned Mr. Rogers for a <mall sum of
money, for the purpose of trying the experiment
whether he was liable to pay het debts, bur did not
succeed, not being able to prove the marriage.
Mrs. Campbell, wife to the former Witness, stated,
that some wearing apparel hid been lett with her
by Mr. Bolton, for Mrs. Rogers. She could not
take upon her to say, whether all the articles men-
tinned in the bill produced were at the time wanted
by her ; but they were such things as a woman in
her line should have, as she could not earn her
bread without appearing decent, as she used to go
about to gentlemen's houses with smelling bottles
and trinkets to sell.
On her cross examination, she said, she could not
take upon her to say how much the Defendalu
earned at the Theatre, but she had heard that some
people earned a deal of money there.
Serj. BEST said, he also had heard that some people
earned a deal of money there ; that he had heard of
an astonishing young gentleman there lately, who
earned fifty pounds a night; but that was net the
case with his poor client.
Mrs. Cuff deposed, that she lived about three
years ago in the same house with Mrs. Rogers, who
had at that time separated from her husband ; she
remembers that one Sunday evening the Defendant
came, and asked for Mrs. Rogers. She not being at
home, he waited for her, and when she came in he
asked her for his property ; she said, she had got
none of his ; he then took her muff from her,
and. buttoned it under his coat ; took her hand-
kerchief off her neck, and emptied out her pockets ;
and, after some words hail passed between tfr m, he
struck her, still asking her for his property, and she
saying, she had not got it ; she at length got away
from his hold, and was attempting to get under the
bed, when he threw the candle and candlestick At

her, calling her all the eiie names that could pw-
sihly be thought of. He thren went awa:-, and in A
few days came again ; Mrs. Rogers, on seeing him,
attempted mike her escape over the yard wall, hilt
he seized her, and brought her into the parlour, and
hiving stripped all her clothes off, except her shift,
heat her in a most dreadful manner, an f Locked
her down ; the witness then went out to get some
person to interfere, and when she was coming back,
she saw Mrs. Itogers running out of the house with-
out any thing un her but her shift ; she then saw
the Defendant g athering up her clothes, hut could
not say whether he took them away or not, and
never saw any miscondua oo the pal t of Mrs. Ro-
gers; she afterwards heard they lived together.
John Hardy saw Mrs. Rogers almost naked in
the street, and held his coat over her until she got
into a house, where the Defendant brought her
clothes, and left them there.
trait Brown deposed, that she was at a work-
house in the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell, then
kept by a Mr. M'Kenzie ; that the Defendant and
another man brought Mrs. Rogers there in a hack-
ney- coach ; when she was on the steps, she held by
the tails, and did not wish to go in, but the De-
fendant forced her ; she afterwards heard him tell
I the keeper that she would he wanting clean sheets,
I and a hed to herself, but not to let her have them
Mrs. Rogers remained there for eight or ten days,
and then she helped her to escape over the garden
gate. Mr. aid Mrs. Rogers afterwards lived to-
gether, and she lived with them as servant for five
months, during which time Mrs. Rogers kept the
house entirely by her own earnings ; lie heat her
two or three times a week ; she has seen him catch
her by the neck, and hoid her until she was black
in the face.
Charles Cobham, who lived in the chambers
under the Defendant and his wife in Lion's-Inn,
gave evidence as to the general ill treatment that
Mrs. Rogers received from her husband ; and that
one night, when he interfered, Mr. R. being half
out of the window, and a CRAW about die door,
the Defendant threatened to knock him down;
but it appeared, from his cross-examination,
that he and the Defendant had quarrelled about
an admission ticket to Vauxhall, which the wit-
ness had as one of the musicians, and which
the Defendant, who was a door-keeper there,
charged him with handing over to -another person.
The porter at Lion's Inn gave his testimony to
the same effect.
Mr. Hughes, treasurer to Covent-garden Theatre,
said, that the Defendant's salary was two shillings
a night, and some small perquisite for keeping peat.
coats ; and that he ead a benefit every year, if he
had a m.nd to take it: by his lat year's benefit, he
made upwards of 1001.
Serjeant BEST made a very lung speech, and en-
deavoured to she.., that the Defendant's income was
not sufficient to e‘iew his wife these kind of clothes:
an. 1 also, that her conina was not so good as
ouitht to be he called some witnesses to prove thi-,
and that she was well ab e to support herself by
gilding china ; a hoeuess which she earned a great
deal of money at, before the was married to Mr.
Rogers.

POLICE.
Yesterday Ricliard raylor, who was apprehended
some time since at the IN'hite Bear Inn, in Basing-
liall-st-eet, and who has undergone several exami-
nations before the Loan MA voa. on the charge of
having in his possession above fu-tv-six pounds
weight of counterfeit half-pence tied in different
bags, supposed to be intended for sale, was brought
up before the Loan MA volt. The officers
who took Taylor into custody said, the inform-
ation they had received was, that he had just
arrived from Ireland with a quantity of coun-
terfeit money to circulate. The Prisoner said in
his defence, he had taken therp in the way of holi-
ness ; and Mr. Harris, a Solicitor, who attend.• I for
him, told his Lordship there was no evidence of the
Prisoner's selling any of this bad money, and he did
not conceive there was felony in having counterfeit
halfpence in his possession, consequently claimed
the discharge of the Prisoner, and the restoration or
his property. Lordship discharged him ; h it
Mr. Powell, the Solicitor of the Mint, stated,
that he had examined the money, and finding
it counterfeit, felt himself jurtified in detaining it,
AS Government had received information, that a
large quantity of counterfeit money had arrived in
London from Ireland ; and that if an anion was
brought he would itch.ad it.

Yesterday the frost being so severe, only large
craft could go through London Bridge, on account
of the great quantity of floating ice, which rendered
it dangerous for boats. About twelve o'clock a
barge, with two men, in attempting to pass under
the bridge. ran foul of a large floating island of ice,
and in less than a quatter of an hour was so com-
pletely surroultded, that all the eadeaviaurs of the
men on board to extricate her proved ineffeflual.—
In that situation they were obliged to remain, nearly
dead with the cold, for four or five hours, as no
boats from the shore could go to their assistance.
So strong was the ice yesterday on the River
Thames, that the persons who superintend the Lon-
don Bridge Water-works, found it necessary to have
their engine supplied with boiling hot water, to play
upon the works, to prevent them from freezing,
while men with long poles were constantly employ-
ed in knocking off the lumps of ice from the works,
for Cie whole day. Should the frost continue a
day or two longer, it is supposed the river, between
briJges, will be completely frozen up.
