PREROGATIVE COURT. Wentrimisai, Dic. 9.
0 UsTo v. suxcisitt'VE.
The teatatorin this cease, Ali.Tioualiy Sutcliffe, deceased,
was one of the Quaker, persuasion, and married in 18413 a
Miss Osborn, himself being 2 years older than that lady. It
appears, that soon alter their union, the deceased became
jealous and ssupicipas of his wife i. and accordingly, nu-icr
the influence of those feelings, had made a will, dated in the
year 1404, by which he cut her off without a shill rag, and left
tile whole of his-personal and freehold property to his nephews
and nieces. 111. will was deposited with Mr Minim, his btu.
ther-in.law, residing in Essex.. Rut shortly after, Medi gOs it
Isis suspicions were totally. groondless and unfoundad, Mr.
Sistcliffe's affection (or his wife returned; and the peace and
lueronay of the parties were completely re-established ; the.
best understanding prevailingbetweets them down to the slay
of his decease, which happened on Nov. 5, 1817. In that
interval deceased frequently expressed to Mrs. Sinclittu, se
well as to many of his friends, iii. fixed lutention of altering
the will; and on one occasion made a particislor appointment
with Mr.. Sutcliffe to aecompany talon to lows, whiiiss4-Ise
was going to receive his dividends : and after transacting his
linsines at the Rank, to proceed into E...ex, in order to pro.
care the will from Mr. Mushy. fur the purpose of making
alterations in her favour. Many domestic contingencies,
however, happened to prevent Mrs. Sutcliffe from accompa.
Hying him, or even, as in that event he bad directed her,
front following him to town. Mr. Sutcliffe returned home to
their residence at Henley-upon-Thsines. without going on to
Essex r, and. on Ilia( occasion the proposed journey into that
county waS•psetpoued until his next going to receive his divi.
tends, which he took twice a-year. Soma after, on the more•
. log oflhe 1414 of November, 1817, the deceased was taken
extremely ill ; and the awash schoolmaster, a Mt. Chapman,
was sent for, to take instructions for making out a now will,
which was shat now on behalf of M,s. Sutcliffe. The dolma
sitious alleged, that on the arrival of Mr. Chapman, deceased
was extremely ill and debilitated ; he was informed by Mrs,
Sutcliffe of the nalare of thoap dispositions which tritatnr,liad
so frequently expressed hie intention of making—that is, us
her favour; bat neither then, nor throughout the long ante-
cedent period, which had elapsed since the making of the
first will In 1801 did Mrs. Sutcliffe appear over forssard or
importunate as to a irw one tieing made; she always declared
her conviction that her liaaband would propetlf provide for
her. On Chaisman's objecting that be could tiol lake io
structions through that channel, she addressed tier husband
in this manner, "Are you willing to make your will r —to
which deceased replied, after a pans*, " Yes r—" Have
you made your peace with God ?"—to which he also replied,
" Yes."—" Arc you willing that the will shall be made as 1 like i
it ?" to which, after a considerable pause, lie also a.seutest,
Thsee inch uctioiss acre taken, re-writteu, and read uses to
the deceased ; approved of, but not signed by him, bein••
taken away by Chapman to be more fairly transciibed ; and
a few hours after, on the Sib November, before his return,
testator died. 'rise principal dispositions of the will woe
these ;—The whole of his p 0
ersonal mid freehold property to
9 his wife, for liar life; and, after her death, 101)01. with au
additional interlineation of 1001, to the childless oilier brusher
Thomas ; and 10001. with a similar interlineal additiosi of
5301. to the children of Ins sister, Mrs. Musk). The Loarord
essusissel for the widow advertrd to the open and ingennumi
manner which the proceedings had takes, place—the re-
. spectability of the witnesses—the declared intentions, piton
to the instrnetious, of the deceased—his aoleinn and dabber-
ate assent to the will—the fact of its baying beau read over to

the fund so raised was expended, but when he died, there was in the

Both were liable to render en tocount of the balance to the sub-
scribers. Strickland, who had been active in procuring support fer
COjnner, undertook to see him buried. tie wits anxious to see hint
deeently interred. With this humane intention, he applied to Re.-
ron, at Ids house near liorneey, and Wearon appeared to torment to
the proposal of a decent Amnia, by saying, " There is money enu.rgli
to bury Win like a gent4auin, and put a stone over his grave "
The plaintiff accordingly psi.' for the interment, and erected a tab :et
with the following inscription :

SPEECH OF THE KING OF FRANCE TO THE
CHAMBERS.

• . .
e yesteraey received a copy of the speech delivered
hy.the King, at the opening of the Session on Thursday
last :--
GSNTLEMENg-At the

it of the last

Session, at the same time, that I deplored the evils
which afflicted our country, I had the satisfaction to
give reason to consider the termination of them as near
at hand. A generous effort, and of which I have the
41in noble pride to say, no ather•nation, has afforded 'a
fairer exa►nple, has enabled'ilie to realise these hopes;
and they are so. My troops alone occupy all our strong
'places ; one of my soils, who hastened to join in the
• first transports of joy of our eastern provinces, has.; with
hist own hands) and amidst the acclamations of my
people, hoisted the French standard on the ramparts of
Thionville ; this standard now floats on all the territory
of France
" The day on which those of my children, who have
borne with so ranch courage the harden of an occupa-
potion of more than three years, have been delivered
frpm it, will be one of the finest days of my life ; and
my French heart has enjoyed no less the•end of their
distresses than the iiheration of the country. The
provinces which have so painfidly occupied my thoughts
till this day-, deserve to fix Anse of the nation, which
has admired, as I have done, their heroic resignation.
" The noble unanimity of heart and of sentiments,
Vt'lliCh you manifested, when I called upon you for the

" The declaration which announces to the world,
the principles on tivhi. the union of the five Powers is
founded, sufficiently shows the friendship which tire-
veils among the Sovereigns. This salutary union, dic-
tated by justice and consolidated by morality and re-
ligion, has fier its object to prevent the scourge of war,
by the maintenance of treaties, by the guarantee of
existing rights, and permits us to fix our eyes on the
long days of peace, which such an alliance promises to
En rope.
" I have awaited in .ilence this happy epoch, to
turn my thoughts to the national solemnity, in which
religion coasecrdtes the intimate union of the neapie
with their King.. When receiving the Royal ftmction
in the midst of you, I shall take too witness the God
wheat Kings reign, the God of Clovis, of Charle-
magne, of St. Louis; i shall rcncw at the altar,
the oath, to confirm the institutions founded on
that Charter, which I cherish more, sine:. the French,
by a unanimous sentiment, have frankly rallied round it.
"In the laws which will be proposed to yon, I
shall take care that its spirit shall he always.consulted,
in order to secure mare and more the public rights of
the French, and to preserve to the Monarchy the three
which it must. have to preserve all the liberties which
are dear to my people.
" In seconding my wishes and my efforts, you will
not forget, Gentlemen, that this Charter, delivering
France from despotism, has put an end to revolutions.
I depend on your concurrence to repel those pernicious
principles which, under the mask of liberty, attack
social order, conduct, by ,anarelty, to absolute power,
and whose fatal success has cast the world so much
blood and so many tears.

" My Ministers will lay 'before you the Budget of
the expences, which the public service requires. The
protracted effects of events, the consequelices of which
we have been found to bear or accept, have not yet al-
' lowed me to propose to you, a dimunition of the bur-
dens imposed upon my people : but I have the consola-
tion to perceive, at no great distance, the moment
when I shall be able to satisfy' this desire of my heart.
From this moment a limit is fixed to the inerease of our
dtAst ; we have the certainty that it will diminish in a
rapid progression.—This certainty, and the loyalty of
France, in the fulfilment of her engegements, will es-
tablish on an immovable foundation the public credit,
which some transitory circumstances, common to other
States, had seemed to affect for a moment
" The French youth have just given a noble proof
of the love to their country and their King. The Re-
cruiting Law has been executed with submission, and
often with joy. 'While the young soldier,: enter the
ranks of the army, their brothers, who are released,
remain in.the bosom of their families ; and the veterans,
who have fulfilled their engagements, return to their
homes.; they are both living examples of the fidelity,
henceforth inviolable, in executing-the laws.
" After the calamities of a scarcity, the remembrance
of which still afli:cts my soul, Providence this year,
lavish of its benefits, has covered our fields with abun-
dant harvests. They will serve to revive commerce,
whose vessels visit every sea, and chew the .French
flag to the most remote nations. Industry and the arts,
also.extending their empire, will add to the sweets of
general peace. To the independence of the country,
to public liberty is added private liberty, which France
has never so entirely.enjoyed. Let us, therefore, unite
our sentiments, and our expressions of gratitude to the
Author of so many blessings, and let us know how to
tender them durable. They will be so, if banishing every
sad remembrance. and stifling every resentment, the
French thoroughly persuade themselves; that their
liberties are inseparable from order, which itself rests
mien the Throne, their sole palladium. My duty is to
defend. them against their common enemies; I shall
fulfl it, and shall find in you, Gentlemen, that sup-
port, which I have never yet invoked in vain."

The Monileur of Tuesday last contains the Royal
ordinance, appointing M. Roy Secretary of State for
the Finance departirent. A second ordinance follows,
by virtue of which Count Corvetto, in consideration of
the services which he has rendered to the Monarchy,
is named a Minister of State, and a member of the
Privy Council. A subsequent paragraph announces
that this ex-Minister is so much indisposed as to be con-
,fined to his bed.

Thursday, about half-past • one o'clock, the Prince
Regent left Carlton House for Brighten.—The- Royal

when the whole will become the property of his 'Royal:
Ilghness, and be thrown into the marine palace.
