COURT OP CHANCERY, LtxcoLi's

%VruNcsoAv, JvLt 28.

The Loan Cita!Wettest came into Court at 11 o'clock.
THE. QUEENSIIL'RY LEGACIES.
THOMAS V. MONTGOIIFRY.
The Loma ettitaret.t.urt, on conthrt into Court, obsere.
ell, that lie had examined the calculation for trying a 16111
of the legacies claimed by the legatees of the late Bike of
Qoeenshory, suit hr found hr wonld not be authorised to
grant it. He *Wird to hare the assistance of the Bar as to
what he was going to suggest. Claims had been made
to • great amount, whirl) might Dever he made good.
For instance, suppose he should say that the claims or de-
mands on the estates of the testator amounted 1p five him-
tired thousand 'moods. in the 3 per cent,. MS they are
much above that sum, and that we were to eel apart
su notch 3 per cents. to meet that sum, the di•idrods
would belong to the claimant., and if their claims were
reduced, the dividends would then belong to the legatees,
amd residuary legatees. I.noking at this case, winch ilid not
differ from that of a common debt, although the moonlit was
Bread, then suppose a drht of 2001. which was CllllOlCd. and
sent to the Master to ascertain the actual sum due, would
not the sante principle apply if it was 10 the moonlit of
500,0031.' In regard to the 101 lenses which had been before
him iu another place, where the Marquis of Queetightiry
sought to art them milk, and if set aside, would not she Mar-
tini. come for damages on the fund in Court? if be did, then
there was so much stuck pet aside for him, and he *mild lie
put in the sane Mime as if i.e could make his claim
gnus! now. There might be a hos nu the stocic, but
that he could nut help ; however, to Wince that, there
might be a mot% which the claimant would be entitled
to. He would he going out of the regular coarse of the
Court to give to the legatees what might hereafter appear to
belay, to the claimants. Suppose they were to call upon 4,
a Marquis, sir any other great man, for the amowit sit boa
sumo's. d claim, he could not ask to he put ill a better
situation than if he could lie paid this day, for we 0011111
111'1 10 him, " You cannot now establish yourclaim,aod when
you can we hive set aside an much stuck to cover it, and
you will lake the profit of that stock." He was thenfore
clearly of opinion that he ought not to allow any part' of
the I lin Court to he paid out to the legatees until there
was sufficient stock set apart to cover what the claimants
alight be entitled to.
Mr. MURRaY said, that the objection whirls had been
stated by pus Loc.lahip had before occnrred In him. It
would lie necessary to carry the suggestion of his Lordship
into eflect to have the consent of the claimants, and they
resided in Scotland. There was another difficulty, there
being 111111111 S, parties in the cause.
The LORD CHANCRII.OR---" You can go wow to Scotland
in two daya, and the Aceonutant.Cleisrrars Office will not
clime before she 25th of Aligns!, which will give you time
(slough to olitnin the necessary consent ; no to there being
infants interested, that in not material—l doubt whether what
I did b.,fore was not contrary to all the rules of the Court,
although' lido re the money to he safe, but I will not venture
to motet ii. tel the approprial be on the maximum
of the claim tots' demands, liable to reduction if they do dot
make tour claims good."
The last Seal after Term will he on Saturday next.

slumber of Itankrnpt petitions that can be only heard by me,

Honour the Vice-Chancellor will have the goodwill to hear
some motions that ought to lie made befire me, as it will
be impossible that the siitturs can be extended after the

tau berm* the Lord filavor, on a charge of basing cam.
witted two robberies on the highway.
An elderly Gentleman, named Raiissou, deposed that ha
was going down lluoud+duck about shire weeks since, at
about nine o'clock in the•vening,and was passing just at the
corner of Catler's•street, when a mall came op, and prem.
ing against kiln, laid hold of his watch-chain sad attempted
to lake his watch 14 Nice; hut the witness retained his hold
with obstinacy, mud in the struggle the chain broke, mud the
Prisoner got away with the seals and part of the chain.
There was a gas-beat near Ike spot, and the witness hail a
full slew of the face of the robber; he firmly believed the
Prisoner to be the man, but from the lemr.tli of time whirls
had elapsed, did not like to swear positivity to him, although
he had a remarkable face.

The Prisoner said he was an innocent man, and knew no-
thing of the matter.
A Gentleman named Furnee stated, that on Monday last,
at 'hunt one o'clock at noun, be was passing down Cornhill,
and Met the annual spercession of the Weavers' Company,
which was followed by a mob of idle persons, such as usually
attend at such spectacles As the plocession was moving past,
the witness was laid hold of by a man, who seize** his watch,
and endeavoured to get it away, but the witness knorked Wit
shown. They were instaatly surrounded by a gang of 10 or
I•'_ ruffians, who succeeded in getting off afire man, and in
taking the gold chats and seals from the witness, who, as
soon as he cotold dim ngage I • self from the gang, ran after
his tiist assailant, who had in the mean time Inch pursued
by a ►ailor, wlm was then closely eugaged with the rnffian,
who, finding himself matched, drew a lung hustle out upon
bit gallant assailant at the moment when the witness came

swear positively.
Tire LORD MAYOD--" And was 1111 this done in the open
day! '
Mr. Furrier —" In the open day, my Lord, at about one
o'clock, in Cornhill."
A Gentleman, mimed Allan, said he saw the rubbery com-
mitted, and corroborated the account given by Mr. Furore.

TIM SIGIITrEIGATff REGIIIPNT.

Oa Saturday three countrylbets, of the names of Sigley,
lieskelli, and Edwards, were brought berme the Sitting
Magistrates at the Exchange, In answer for an assault on
two privates of Ibis corps, committed on Tuesday last. It
appeared from the evidence that as the complainants were
walking up Toregatestrcet they were followed by the COMM-
Dynes, who it seems had been cekbraling their anal'sl dull
feast, and who, on approaching them, shouted, There
goes the d----d fridi Pats." On one orate soldiers remon.
striding he was knocked down, and both yore mock *homed.
In the progress of the soldiers towards the Cross, they were
juiced by some of their comrades, and the assailants pro-
ceeded to the Grosvenor Arms, near the North rite. Seve-
ral of the former repaired to this house, and having recog-
nised the latter, insisted upon conducting them before their
Commanding Officer at the Castle; iu this they succeeded
with as little violence as was cousistent with their object ;
and the men were finally given in charge to the civil power.
Some witnesses were examined sin behalf of the countrymen,
but they totally &ilea in establishing their object, which
was to prove that the soldiers made the first assault.—
Mcsketh, Sigley, and Edwards wise therefore bound over
to appear at the Sessions to answer the charge.
Without entering into minute particulars, we have been
Induced to give Ibis g I outline of the I tion, from
the misr►presentations that have gone abroad, and the at.
tempts that have been Made to excite prejudice against the
character or the regiment. In the course of the examina-
tion, it appeared, indeed, that one of the soldiers half strew
his bayouct, and held diceateniiig lauguage, but in calcium.
lion it was sworn, that it was when Ilia cornpaniou was
lying on the ground from the blow he had received, and
when by the pressure of members innards him, lie was se.
litany 111 tear of his own life. 'Ell a question why the flies
were taken before a military OHM', and
so gist rate, it was answered, that being strangers, and nut
knowiiig where to find mw, they had canillieted the men to
this it officer, in order that lee might so dispose of them.—
