LAW INTULLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

ZX PARTE CARROL, IN THE MATTER OF LATHA3I AND

PARRY, BANKRUPTS.

The continued arguments in this matter occupied till
one o'clock to-day. The main point discussed was,
whether another trial should be directed by Mr. Carrol,
as plaintiff, against Mr. De Tastet, as defendant, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether goods and bills obtained
by Mr. De Tastet, just on the eve of bankruptcy, from
Ity. Parry, just before he absconded, were obtained under
circumstances that the law would permit to 'stand. One
enquiry was, whether the property had been got under a
threat that a criminal prosecution would be instituted
against Mr. Parry for forgery, if possession was not de-
livered up, and that the prosecution would be suspended if
it was? The Lord Chancellor entertained no doubt that
this point was untenable. Then the question was whether
Mr. De Tastet's presence was a legal presence, he
being in the situation of a creditor? Upon this, as Lord
Eldon had been of opinion that there ought to be further
inquiry at law, as well as upon minor points, his Lord-
ship declined to give judgment until after he had read
through all the proceedings; although, from the observa-
tions made by him in the course of the arguments, it was
pretty evident that he will not direct farther proceedings.
The amount locked up by an order of the Court is
about 80,0001.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
JUDGMENT...--S3fART V. LEIGH.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR give judgment in this case,
which was a bill filed for the purpose of setting aside a
conveyance made in 1805. His Honour, after going at
considerable length through the facts, which were of no
public importance, stated that he was clearly of opinion
the plaintiff had made out his case, and decreed the setting
aside of the conveyance, with costs.

BOIALL V. COBBIETT.
Mr. MARTIN stated that this was an application on
behalf of the plaintiff, that Mr. William Cobbett might
be ordered, within a fortnight, to transfer into the name
of the Accountant-General 2,0001. Three per Cents., and
also the sum of 8001., which had come to his hands as
executor of a lady of the name of Boxall.
From the statements of the Leaned Counsel, it ap•
peered that Mrs. Bezel' died iu August, 1825, leaving
Mr. Cobbett her sole executor. The testator, after dis-
posing of several canal shares by her will, left the residue
of her property to Mr. Cobbett, who was to invest it, and
pay the plaintiff an annuity of 100/. At the death of the
testatrix the only property immediately under ber own
eontroul was 1,050 L, which was out on mortgage;
the great bulk of her property was a balance of
2.0001., due from the executors of her father.—
Upon the death of Mrs. Boxall, it became the duty
of Mr. Cobbett to call her father's executors to
account, which Mr. Cobbett stated by his answer
he had not been able to do till October, 1827, at which
time he admitted that the executors had transferred the
2,0001. stock to him, as the execntor of Mrs. Boxall ; but
that he (Cobbett), in consequence of the belief he as well
as Mrs. Boxall had entertained of the suitability of funded
property, sold out that stock, and received the proceeds in
gold and silver; that the plaintiff was well aware of the
transaction, and sanctioned it by her cordial approbation ;
indeed it was so much a subject of notoriety, that at the
time he (Cobbett) went to receive the money, he was
surrounded by upwards of a hundred people, and the
transaction had been blazoned about in the public
Newspapers. Immediately upon receiving the money, he
took it home and deposited it in a chest, with the
intention of vesting it on mortgage of freehold
lands ; that he had used every means for the
purpose of finding a good security, but had not as
yet been able to procure one ; that the plaintiff had been
regularly paid her annuity ; the money was perfectly
safe; and that he (Cobbett) had applied no part of it to
his own use or benefit, or derived any profit therefrom.—
Now the Court would see (observed the Learned Coun-
sel) that Mr. Cobbett had, in the schedule to his answer,
actually charged himself with interest for the money in
his possession. Under such circumstances it was the pre-
sent application was made. The Court would observe,
the notice of motion was in the alternative, either that
Mr. Cobbett should replace and transfer the stock, or that
the balance now in his hands should be by him placed in
the Bank of England, in the name of the Accountant-
General.

Mr. LovaTr, who appeared for Mr. Cobbett, observed
that this was, in point of fact, hearing the cause on mo-
tion ; the question which should be raised at the hearing
being, whether Mr Cobbett would be liable to replace this
stock, which had been sold out with the consent and ap-
probation of the party complaining of the transaction.
The VICI-CHANCELLOA did not see how he could
order the replacement of the stock, the material party
interested having consented to its sale. His Honour could
only make the order in the latter alternative, namely,
Mr. Cobbett should place the balance in his ha that
hands in the
Bank, in the name of the Accountant-General.
Mr. Lovarr observed that he, on the part of Mr. Cob-
bett, could see no objection to that.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

BARKER D. FIELD.

This was ac issue directed by the Court of Chancery
to ascertain whether Mr. James Humpleby was of a sound
mind, and capable of managing his affairs, at the time he
executed a deed in the spring of 1826.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. GURNIY, and Mr.
COMYN, were Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Faxnxittcx PoLtocic and Mr. BRODERICK, for the de-
fendant.

Mr. BROUGHAM addressed the Jury. Mr. Humpleby
was a gentleman who suceeeded in business, and amassed
a considerable fortune ; he was always considered a
man of strong plain understanding, and good com-
mon sans!. He was an affectionate husband, and
always evinced the greatest kindness for his family.—
He (Mr. Brougham) should, however, prove to the Jury
that all on a sudden, one of those ordinary symptoms which
generally discover themselves in persons afflicted with in-
.sanity took place; he took a dislike to all those whom before
he treated with the greatest kindness. Mr. Humpleby was
also naturally a person of the most delicate habits, yet all
at once he became quite the reverse. It would be proved
by the evidence of eminent professional men that in the
spring of 1823 Mr. Humpleby was seized with a fit of
nyoplexy. The usual remedies were applied, and he gra-
dually recovered his health until the beginning of 1826,
when he was seized with a second fit, from which he never
perfectlyifii,_ recovered ; that attack left him considerably
led with palsy, and his mind never recovered its
proper tone ; his habits were completely changed. In
1826, such Were his aberrations of mind that he would
frequently perform the offices of nature in his shop, and
before his customers, and also when in company with a
Young lady, his daughter-in-law, and when reminded of
it, he would laugh in the most childish in inner imagina-
ble. That laughter would then be succeeded by a fit of
Crying. He would also frequently remain for hours to-
gether in the water-closet, and sometimes insist upon
having his meals there. Insanity also generally produced
erroneous impressions in the unfortunate subject respecting
his pecuniary affairs. Such was the case with Mr.
Humpleby. He would at one time consider himself
as the most wealthy person in the land, and at
another, that he should die from starvation, and became
mast dreadfully depressed. He would at times exclaim,
" God help me, I shall die in a workhouse," and murmur
in a distressing manner. At other times he would be
frantic with joy, and burst out .‘ Thank God, I am worth
twenty thousand pounds." After the spring of 1826, his
wife, to whom he was before so much attached, was
treated with the greatest violence and cruelty : he used
to knock her down, and on one occasion struck her a blow
ntt the breast, which, if it was not the came of her death,
tended greatly to accelerate the disease, of which she shortly
.afterwards died. His sister also, to whom be always be-
fore this period had shewn the greatest affection,and who was
14 the habit of spending months together at his house, all
at once yap treated quite the reverse. He turned her out
of doors, saying giat to maintain her would cost him 201.
yeas., which Impt ruin hip He would at times remain
It the open air, withont any coYering and exposed to the
heaviest rains, fur hours together. He (Mr. Brougham)
therefore thought, when the Jury had these facts GorrP-
b,ntated, And likewise the opinion of several eminent meq,
they Cupid entertain no doubt of the commencement of Mr.
Ilumplehy's malady, and that time was the only question
for
.their present consideration. The Learned Counsel in
the course of his address said, that it was the universal
npinion of all the medical profession, particularly that part
telio had paid the most attention to insanity, that where
derangement of mind arose from an attack of palsy, in
Inch case recovery was hopeless.
The Learned Counsel then called a great number of wit-
nesses, who deposed to the facts stated in his opening.
The evamination was proceeding when our Reporter left
the Court.
