Mr. SMADWSLL stated he had a nuttiest to notice
in this case. It would be in the recollection of the
Court that an order had barn granted by the Court.,
directing that the Noble Defendant should pie
into Court the SUM of 1,3010/. the value of the golf
plate which had been sold by the Defendant, Trqi•
hook—with the view to make good that tisynicitts
the Noble Deft trust caused two bills of SOO/. rich
to be placed in the hands of the Noble Pleietifre ,
Solicitor. and the balance of the 1 300/. he pr•••
owed to pay in motley, but which still reniai.oel
unpaid. The first hill for SON. became due ne t!...e •
15th of July, iseo, anti the second bull on the Mat, -•
of October last, both of which were pfaesied
for non-payment, and to the present day they re-
mained unpaid. His motion then was. that the
Iwo bills should be returned to the Defendants'
Solicitor, and that it should he referred to the 1,1%.-
tee to4require and ippon the•value of t:te gold p to
sold by Triphook, and diet the receiver of
the Noble Defendant's estates should be (E-

was appointed by the Court to the gearthaiislap of

was made necessary, sisal it must be painful to
every Englishman to see the descendant of such as

not pay his pecuniary engagements. ' The mottos'

Mr. HART said, he was Caravel with Mr. Shad-:
well. and it was tioneces,ary for him to add a word
to what WAS paid lay Ins Learned Friend further
than that he agreed 111 every observation niade by
hint on the conduct of the Noble Defeuduut.
Mr. RAE wild, that these observations of Mr.
Hart were not called for, as the conduct of bis
Noble Client did not merit them.
Mr. Friar was of opinion that the merits Of the.
case called for them.
Mr. RAE. COISIMI for the Noble Defendant.
stated that he did not oppose the motion, which was
not supported by affidavits, but that hr grounded
another motion nit it, that ihe order for appuititing
the cutter should be discharged. on the ground
that there was sufficient muury in the hands of the
receiver to pay the 1,3001. lie regretted that bia
Learned Friend, Mr. Shadvrell, should have thought:
proper to leave used invective for the purpose of leis
'notion. lie should have thought it would bare
hero only necessary for him to have stated that tl‘s
Noble Deferidaut had not paid the 1.3001. inw
Cuurt. It certainly did net become the Counsel
of the Noble Pleintiffs, who 1. ere the trustees ap-
pnitard by the late Duke of Marlborough to ivard
the honour of the House of Marlborough, to take •

every opportunity to bring it into discredit by in-
vectives against the present noble powersor of it.
particularly when the charges against bun had been
refuted by his answer to the supplemental bill.
in which he denied being privy to the destruction
of the gold plate, although he admitted !bet lee
hid allowed it to get into the bandy of the Defen-
dant, Triphook, fur the purpose of raising money
on his (the Noble Defendant's) interest in it—
em far from it,. that his Grace received a letter
two months after the destruction of the plate.
from Triplinok, wanting to get 8001. from • the
Duke, for the purpose of redeeming tile plate.
at the same time his Grace admitted that he
had committed an impropriety in incrusting the •
plate to Triphook. It could not be denied that his
Grace was straitened for money, as he hid never
re, etsed one shilling from the estates of his uolde
Giber. as their receipts were•io the (muds of the,
receiver, and he, the receiver, hart sufficient hal
blame• in his heads to pay the 1,3001. which ulti-
ut lie would have to hand over, to his Grate.
There was in Court the sum of 5001., and iu the
hawk of the receiver 3.000/.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—a' Have you an OR-
davit that this statement is correct relative to the
funds iu the hands of the receiver?"

Mr. RAS said he had not an affidavit, bet there
could be one made if his Lordthip thought it row
