LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
Hit Honour the Vice-CuaNcEt.t.oa took causes to-day,
none of which possessed the slightest public interest. His
Honour rose at one o'clock to attend the levee of his Majesty.

ROLLS' COURT.
The Mas Tea of the Rous sat this morning at ten
o'clock.
THR GRIAT WILL CALISR.,--TATRAIII V. WRIGHT.
Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. PoLtocic attended the Court
thii morning in this important case.
Mr. Por.Locx trusted the Court would postpone the
discpssion of the motion for the new trial till October, as
it would be utterly impossible, if the Court granted a new
trial, that it could take place at York (the Commission
day being next Saturday), or any other part of the Northern
Circuit, with the exception of Lancaster, a place where the
Court bad deliberately adjudged it ought not to be tried. The
previous trial occupied no less a period than six days, the
Learned Judge's summing up took eleven hours, and the
short-hand-writer's notes several months to transcribe
them: and of such enormous length were the pleadings,
that it would be utterly impossible to be prepared
with the case, even to try it at Lancaster.--
Indeed, for his own part, he (Mr. Pollock)
hardly considered himself personally safe, to such a great
extent had the feeling of persons carried themselves in
that town and its neighbourhood. The Learned Counsel
concluded an ingenious speech of sortie length, by trusting
that the Court would postpone the discussion for a new
trial till the month of October.

Mr. BICKIRSTRTH followed on the same side.
Mr. Baouatraar, contra, considered that his Learned
Priem' had advanced no arguments that would in-
duce the Court to postpone the discuasion for the
new trial. 'With respect to the observations made
by his Learned Friend (Mr. Pollock), consider.
big himself unsafe in attending Lancaster in con-
sequence of the excited feelings of the parties with re-
ference to this cause, it must be remembered that there
were constables in Lancaster ; his Learned Friend,
therefore, need not be under any apprehensions
from the mob, because he might have the whole posse
cumitatis of Lancaster to protect him from any aggression ;
and should not their force be sufficient, he (Mr. Brougham)
hsd no doubt soldiers would he procured who would escort
his Learned Friend in safety to the Court. What on
earth his Learned Friend's clients had to fear from the in-
fluence of a poor old Admiral, .who never lived in the
place, and perhaps never spent 10/. there, he (Mr.
Brougham) was at a loss to conceive.
Mr. Pou.oex observed, that Admiral Tatham had lived
there two years, and had tampered with the witnesses to a
great extent.
Mr. BROUGHAM positively denied the tampering, and
observed that he might have lived there, but if be did it
well in the back parlour of an inn.
Mr. POLLOCK slid that this was not the fact, but on
the contrary, ho had had a house therefor two years.
Mr. BROUGHAM considered that with respect to what
had been stated relative to the change of venue,
that his Learned Friend, Mr. Pollock, and his co-
adjuters would be exposed to the slightest danger,
was one of the wildest suggestions he had ever heard
brought forward in a Court of Justice as a ground
for changing the venue. It was not affected to be said
that the Blanketeera or Peterloo-men would come down
twain, in order to attack the Counsel employed against
Admiral Tathatn. He had no doubt that the speech
delivered by his Learned Friend rung in the ears
of the people of Yolk at this moment. By the
affidavit of the respectable solicitor of the defendant,
it was stated, that it would not befit to change the venue
from York to Lancaster, and that no fair trial could take
place anywhere with the exception of York, London, or
Westminster. Now, with that proposition he (Mr.
Brougham) would immediately close, and would at once
consent that the trial (if the Court granted one) should
take place at Westminster. But be trusted if that course
Ikea adopted, his Honour would arrange the bearing of the
application fora new trial, so that it could take place
before December.
Mr. Pota.oex concurred in the propriety of that mode
of arranging it.
The Mam a. of the Rout considered it a matter re-
quiring gnat consideration. Probably the Learned Counsel
(Mr. Brot!ghatn) was not aware of the practice of a Court
of Equity in matters of this kind, fur although there might
be objections to the admission of evidence on other
points of form, yet if, upon considering the whole
evidence, the Court was of opinion the Jury had come to
a right conclusion, it would refuse a new trial. It was
ishoolutely Necessary to the ends of justice that the Court
Should enter into a full consideration of the whole case.
Mr. BliouallASS was aware that that was the practice
of the Court, because Lord Eldon had laid down that rule
in the ease of Bootle v. Blundell.
The MAIITKR, of the Rotas said, he would take the
short-hand writer's notes of thesumming up of the Learned
Judge, together with the pleadings, which he would
carefully read over ; the case should come on for ergo-
!tient on the first day of Michaelmas Term, and he would
15 ready to deliver his judgment on the following clay, so
that no delay whatever should take place. The case,
_therefore, stands over till the first day of Michaelmas Term.
he Court rose shortly after one o'clock to attend the
l‘log's Levee,

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-ABINODON, JULY 20.

CANNING V. GUNNII.L.

This was an action on the warrantry of a horse, and oc-
cupied the Court from nine o'clock in the morning until
nearly two. The details were quite uninteresting, the
whole of the case resting on the question as to whether the
horse was or was not unsound at the time he was pur-
chased by the plaintiff, and the warrantry given by the de-
fendant. The parties are both respectable persons residing
at Newbury, and not the least fraud or unfairness was at-
tempted by either of them, it was merely a matter of legal
liability. A great number of witnesses were examined on
both sides.

The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
Mr. Serjeunt LunLow and Mr. TALFORD were Counsel
for the plaintiff, and Mr. TAUNTON and Mr. Cuawoon
for the defendant.

Mr. Justice PARxr, in his summing up, observed that
he always save his servants positive orders never to war-
rant any horse of his that they might sell for him ; for,
said his Lordship, I would rather lose 20/, by every one I
have, than run the risk and great probability of becoming
entangled in the meshes of a law-suit. Every wise man
would do well to act in the same manner, and, continued
his Lordship, if they had seen as much of horse causes as
I have I think they would.
This cause closed the business on the Civil side.
CROWN SIDE.
Before Mr. Justice 13osANQuer.
John Andrews, aged b 6, but whose withered appear.
ante bespoke him some years older, was capitally indicted
for assaulting Mary Cunningham, a child under 10 years
of age.

The Jury, after retiring some time from the box, re-
turned with a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned Juno immediately passed sentence of
death, and told the prisoner not to expect that mercy could
be extended to him.

This is the only prisoner that sentence of death has
been passed upon during the Assizes.
The business of the Assize terminated this evening.—
The Commission will be opened at Oxford to-morrow (this
day).

MR. WELLESLEY'S DINNER AT MLLE

RICAY TO THE FREEHOLDERS.

Yesterday the town of Billericay was greatly en
livened in consequence of a public dinner being
given by Mr. Wellesley, at the Crown Inn, to his
friends in that neighbourhood. The upper room of
the town hall (now erecting) was chosen for the oc-
casion, and was fitted up in a very neat style, by
Messrs. Lankuster and Etolph. The walls were de-
corated with laurel, interspersed with artificial
flowers, above which were inscribed in large letters,
occupying three sides of the room, the following
mottos, " Universal Freedom," " Plough, Loom,
and Sail," " King and Constitution," " Wellesley
and Independence." Tables were laid for about
100 visitors. It was announced that dinner would
be on the table at four o'clock, but in consequence
of Mr. Wellesley being unavoidably detained in
town, it was six o'clock before the company (about
SO in number) sat down.
Mr. Wellesley was met at the entrance of the
town by a considerable number of people, and a band
of music. It had been intended to take the horses
from the carriage, and ropes were prepared for
drawing the Hon. Gentleman to the Inn, but owing
to the lateness of his arrival, that compliment was
dispensed with to save time. He was accompanied
by Sir Felix Agat and Sir George Denys.
The cloth being drawn, Mr. Wellesley gave—
" The King," with three times three.
Air, by the Band—" God nave the King."
The following toasts were then given—
" The Queen and the Royal Family."
" Prosperity to the County of Essex."
" The Freeholders of the County of Essex."
Sir G. DENYS proposed the health of Mr. Long
Wellesley, and success to him in his election for the
county of Essex. , That gentleman's political prin-
ciples were known to every one present, and he
(Sir G. D.) begged to say, they met his entire
approbation ; he therefore proposed the health of the
Hon. Long Wellesley, with three times three, or
rather with nine times nine.--(Loud applause.)
The toast having been drank with the greatest
enthusiasm,

Mr.WELLEst.Ev returned thanks; in doing which
he expressed his conviction that Mr. Western and
himself entertained the same opinion as regarded
the necessity for relieving the industrious classes
from the burthens that press so heavily upon them.
Even Lord Goderich, the champion of Ultra-To-
ryism, so lately as the 9th July last, expressed in
the House of Lords an opinion to the same effect.
His Lordship stated, that the same opinion was
general throughout the country, and that the force
of united public opinion must eventually be irre-
sistible. The Hon. Gentleman said be was at a
loss to conceive on what grounds he could be op-
posed when such an identity of sentiment existed
between him, the Whigs, and the Tarim,. lie
trusted that the Freeholders would support him, as
in so doing they would support and promote their
own best interest.
The lateness of the hour precludes our giving
further particulars, except to notice that after Mr.
Wellesley's speech, that gentleman gave, " The
health of the Duke of Sussex."—Erre.r Herald.

Miss CUBITT, singer of some merit, died
yesterday, in Salisbury-street, Strand. The poor young
woman was, it appears, disappointed in some early attach-
ment, and her mind, being weak, gave way, to that latterly
she had lost all self-control. She was thirty years of age.
