something had happened to him when he entered.
" 1Vell." cried he, in a hurried tone," you have been
waiting, and I'll warrant you have mien enough accused
the out man of laziness; but now, bcore we set out. tell

with mingled pity and apprehension. " I am afraid
you are already fatigued," said she in a soothing voice,

She would have evaded the answering, for she now

would aim be denied, and hurryiug her into a hackney-
coach, they stopped in a few mitautes at the door of an
elegant house in -- square.
" Sir—any dear uncle—stop, I beg of your cried my
now seriously alarmed mistress ; but without heeding
her, he got out, and giving her his hand with all the
vivacity of five and twenty, he led her into a handsome
apartment, when he told the servant who opened the
door, that they would rest for a few moments before
they looked at the house. " I am not mail, any dear,
any noble child," cried he, catching any mistress s hand
as soon as the servant retired, " though a change of ior.
tune little less than miraculous might almost make me
so. I told you a villain had absconded with any property;
so artfully had he managed, that not a hope of tracing

severely bruised, that his recovery was pronounced im-

without suffering her to reply, he rang for the servant,

pressed herself highly satisfied with it, and returned to

LAIG INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
THLHSDAY, JUINE G.

DOE, ON THE DENnst OF J. PALMER, Ir. ROOT. LOVELL

OWATKIN AND THEOPHILA GWATICIN.

This WAS an at tioa of ejectment brought by the heir at
law of the late Marchioness of 'Flromund to recover pos-
session of a house situate in Cieuige-stiect, Westminster,
which the defendants claimed lei' the will of the Mat-
chioness.

It was proved that the papers produced in court as the
will of the late Marchioness of Thonsoud lead been i,eut by
her to her attorney, Mr. Mortimer, and had been kept by
him until opened atter her death, in mesence of her re-
latives. They weie paged throughout apparently in the
w ' gof hei ladyship, but were not fixed together until
atter her decease.

firs. Tomiine, the lady of the Bishop of Winchester,
who wile the Bishop sat on the bench st the tii;lit hand
of die Lord Chief Justice, was theu sworn. She remem-
bered seeing Lady Thomund at her own house in 1616 or
11417, in a state of some agitation, when she said that she
had a favour to ask of the Bishop. Mrs. Tonsline, think-
ing that she was N4ollt to request him to become her exe-
cuttn, replied that she was afield lie would not accept
that Once, as lie had refused to do to for other friends.
She inquired, atter a pause, whether he would object to
witness her will, to which Mrs. Ton:!in replied, that she
had no doubt lie would witness it, and that lie would wait
on her on the next dny or the day slier. She said she
wished to go to the Bishop's house to execute the will,
and accordingly came thither a day or two afterwards,
and brought the will in her muff. There were several
papers, but Mrs. Towline could not recollect the exact
number. After she had signed the will, the Bishop recol-
lected, that in case fieeltuld property were devised, it
would be necessary that the execution should be attested
by three witnesses ; he suggested this to the Alarcltioness,
who expressed her gratitude ter the imoritiatiomand said
that the house in Geroge-street (toot in quesinni) WAS
freehold. Mr. Smith was sent fur; and she either wrote
her name or retraced the signature, mid said it was her
will, on which it was attested by the three witnesses in
her presence.
On her cioss-examination, Mrs. Tomline said that the
blareltioness only signed one of the sheets, not could she
Ideality those others produced as the same which accom-
panied the papers attested.
The Bishop of Winclie,ter, being sworn, expressed his
distinct recollection of all the en cmustanees stated by his
lady, as attending the execution of the will.
Mr. Smith, the other witness to the execution, gave the
same account of all those cut cumstances which touk place
after his tiniest.

The papas indorsed " Last Will and Testament of
Mary, Maieltioness of Thoniomi," were put it, and partly.
read. The passages at the beginning and conclusion of
the sheets wile evidently connected in sense, and there
was no peciontaiy bequest in the last paper to which the
8,0001., alluded to in the last paragraph, could be applied.
The Lind l.llie f Jit-tice said, that, in his judgment, it
was entirely a question of fact for the July, whither the
Marchioness re-published all the papers produced as her
will, or only the last of them.
Mr. Itlarryal contended, that the evidence did not suffi-
ciently prove the identity of the impels.
The Lot it Chief Justice telt no hesitation in leaving the
whole ease to the Jury. Lnyiestionably a person might
si rite his will on different Nliects of paper, without attest-
ing every sheet. Unquestionably. also, it was Cf• Milly
that these papers should be united by was or stringy it
sow as enough if they were all published as one entire will.
Whether the papers in question were so published, the
Jut y would decide, from the purport and connection of

163

the documents themselves, and the highly respectable
evidence which they had heard ; and if they were of opi-
nion iu the affirmative, they would tied a verdict for uitt
defendants.
The Jury immediately found a verdict for the tiefen-
dauts.

Chancellor came to the Great Hall, in Liticoln't Inn, at

county of Glamorgan. He did not wish to mention time
name of the gentleman until an opportunity was given t.)
