COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 13.

NEWTON V. 2fNNINC.

Air. Paves and Air. JAMES CAMPBELL supported a
petition, which prayed that Mr. Marcellus Newton be coth-
mitted to the. Fleet prison for taking out of the jurisdiction
his sister, Miss Coralie Newton, a ward of the Court ;
and that Mr. Newton, her father, be ordered to bring her
within the jurisdiction. The young lady, was new about
twenty years of age, and had two sisters.. Octavia Newton,
aged twenty-nine, residing in Paris, and Camilla Newton,
about twenty-seven years of age. There were also two
brothers; one was the petitioner, Mr. Augustus Newton,
and the other, Mr. Marcellus Newton, the party coin-
plained of. A considerable fortune was left them under
the will of their grandfather, and the daughters' shares
were about 10,0001. each. The father, for the protection
of his daughter, filed a bill to make her a ward of Court.
Notwithstanding that by that proceeding Miss Coralie
Newton was under the special protection of the Court,
and of her father, her natural guardian, Mr. Marcellus
Newton conducted her to Paris, where she now is. The
petitioner, as a ground of his application, stated his appre-
hension of a marriage being contemplated between the ward
and a Mr. Blunt, a surgeon, who, the petitioner stated,
was without property or expectations, but kept up an in-
tercourse with the ward, and followed her to France with
ilae view of getting married to her. That intercourse was
of ;o-familiar a nature that in the year 1828 Miss Coralie
and Miss Camilla Newton were living in lodgings in Re-
gent-street, London, taken for them by Mr. Blunt, who
was the only visiter they had there. Mr. Marceline New-
ton himself, being on leave of absence from his regiment, so
disapproved of his sisters' manner of living, that he took
the elder sister to petitioner's house in Herefordshire, the
younger bring unwilling to accompany him. By the persua-
sion of Marcellus the petitioner came up to town, and, re-
monstrating with Miss Coralie for her manner of living, told
her he would take her by fair means or force down to his
house. He did prevail upon her to go with him. On that oc-
casion he met Mr. Blunt at her lodgings, and, although
be did not suspect any improper intercourse, he told him
that he could not approve his sister's living in lodgings
away from her friends, and visited by Mr. Blunt only.
Some time afterwards Mr. Blunt sent a proposal of mar-
riage with petitioner's sister. She afterwards left peti-
tioner's house, and was taken to France by her brother,
Marcellus Newton, with whom she was found last summer
travelling through Savoy into Italy, and Mr. Blunt was of
the party. The petitioner, apprehending that all this in-
tercourse must terminate in a marriage between the ward
and Mr. Blunt, prayed the interference of the Court to re-
store her within the jurisdiction, and to restrain Mr. Blunt
from continuing any intercourse with her.
Several affidavits were read in support of the petition.
Sir E. Sun pHs/ and Mr. FLATHER opposed the petition,
which was presented not from any regard to the ward,
but with a view to annoy her and the whole family; and
that because the petitioner, having gambled and wasted
his own fortune, could not obtain a supply for his wants
from his sisters and brother. What right had this brother
to interfere? The father, the natural guardian, who filed
a bill to make the young lady a ward of Court, did not
complain of her going abroad. The fact was that the
young lady had no mother, nor any female relations in this
country. Her elder sister, highly educated, lived in Paris
in a most respectable circle, and was in the same street
and next door to her aunt, a most respectable lady, moving
in the highest society. Was it wonderful that this young
lady preferred their society to that of the petitioner, who
treated both sisters so badly that they were obliged to
leave his house? On one occasion he carried his rulle.
nese to Miss Camilla Newton so far as to cut the strings
of her harp ; and on another occasion he instituted an
action of libel against her for a letter she wrote to him.
For that she bad to make an apology by her Counsel, but
so wounded was her spirit by it that she could not after-
wards live in this country. When he treated one sister
so ill, what hopes had the other if she stopped with him ?
But what was the crime in going to France with her
brother ?—under whose protection could she he safer than
that of a young officer, who had maintained a high sense
if-honour among his comrades ? The great danger of
being under the protection of such a person was—not iluit
he would allow indignity or insult to be offered to his sister,
but that he might be too cautious, too suspicious, when
there was n) occasion for either. With that gentleman,
her brother, this young lady left this country, where she
bad no female relations, and went to Paris to reside with
a sister prudent and accomplished, and under the protec-
tion of an aunt. No other part of this family of high re-
spectability—not the father himself—complained of the con-
duct of the ward, or of her brother, in taking her to her
female relations in Paris. Their society was the proper
place for her, and his Lordship should hesitate before he
would make an order to remove her. What would his
Lordship do with her if he htd her in this country ?
A young lady of high spirit, and of twenty years of age,
blooming in youth and beauty, was she not more likely
here to fall into the danger the petitioner affected to ap-
prehend? What imputation was there on Mr. Blunt, a
young gentleman of respectability and acquirement? It
was not charged that there was any thing improper in
their intercourse ; and as to his marrying the ward, an
order from this Court, such as was now prayed for, would
be the very thing to drive the parties to a marriage. No
sooner would notice of such an order reach the parties in
Paris than a marriage would be bad—
The LORD CHANCELLOR-...N0t Wall impunity. This
Court would take care to punish any person marrying a
ward without consent of the Court, if such person came
within the jurisdiction. The Court would have to con-
sider, in that case, whether Mr. Blunt had been a party
to the taking of the ward out of the jurisdiction, or merely
met her out of it, and then married her.
The Learned Counsel, in conclusion, trusted that his
Lordship would not make the order which the petitioner
prayed for.
Mr. Paws having replied,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the case was an extremely
painful one. The Court would not pronounce its judg-
ment without looking through the affidavits, and, having
done so, would give judgment—perhaps to-morrow. It
was a case of which the least that was said would be the best.

his wife for her life, and at her decease he directed cer-
tain legacies to be paid, and gave the residue of
his property to Sr. Bartholomew's Hospital. At the death
of the widow, she appointed the defendant as one of the
executors who proved the will, and sold out some Long
Annuities, for the purpose of paying the legacies given by
the will of Mr. Greaves, but instead of only selling out suf-
ficient to make these payments,Mr. Fox, who contended that
he was entitled to retain a sum of 851., sold out 1001.
more stock than the sum required. The present bill was
then filed by the Mayor and Corporation of Lon-
don, as Governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
for an account, and an injunction to restrain Mr.
Fox from making away with any more of the property.
On the case coming on for hearing a decree was made,
referring it to the Master to take an account of
the debts and legacies, and also an account of what
had been possessed by Mr. Fox. The Master made
his report accordingly, finding that Mr. Fox had
sold out 100/. more than sufficient to pay the lega-
cies, and that Mr. Fox was not entitled to retain the 85/.
The bill prayed, that Fox might be ordered to pay the
sum improperly taken to Sir James Shaw, as President,
and Rowland Stephenson, as Treasurer of St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, but as the former gentleman no longer
held the office of President, and as it was notorious that
Rowland Stephenson was out of the country, the Learned
Counsel thought the better course would be to order it to
be paid to the present President, Mr. Alderman Lucas,
and Mr. Helps, the Treasurer.
His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS, no Counsel
appearing for Mr. Fox, made the order, directing him to
pay the 1001. with interest, since 1822, to the President
and Treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital for the time
being, and also the costs of the suit.

Retrospections of the Stage") at Castle Cary, a Mrs.
KIRBY, playing Lady Anne one evening, and inquiring
very piteously, " Oh ! when shall I have rest?" a ruth-

lA,ICP INTELLIGENCE.

,
MANSION--HO USE.
Mr. Thomas Day was brought up, Charged with
hating forcibly entered a watch-house in a stee of
inebriation, and eccuned the whole body of the watch
of being " Burkers.
A patrol said that Mr. Day, in pftssing along the
street at twelve o'clock at night, amused himself
with tinging a song, in which were the following

words :-
44 If we wants for to crca!t•Noe roust go to the watchus,
For there we'll get plenty or C!fatlis to Burke' us."
Witness begged that the gentlemen would not
make so much noise, a request which was imme-
diately complied with, and witness did not see him
again until about one o'clock, when Mr. Day was at
the watch-house door 1.-irlttering with a stick, and
complimenting the inmates in the ebove strains.
The constable of the night stated that "Ir. Day
rushed into the charge-room, and cried out that he
came to look for a person that was " Bulled" by
the watchmen. At first he said that the person
who had been " Burked" was his mother. Wit-
ness
opened the door of the black-,hole, where there
were two men more drunk than Mr. Day, and asked
him whether either of them was his mother.—
(Loud laughter.) "It don't signify talking," said
the gentleman, " I've information that the whole of
the watch is in pay to Burke' the whole world."
The watchmen who were present swore that they
never " Burked" a human being, no, not so much
as an infant ; but Mr. Day persisting in his charge,
it was thought necessary to lock him up till morning,
in order that he might make his words good before
the Lord Mayor.
The LORD MAYOR—I suppose, Mr. Day, the fact
was you were rather tipsy, and were inclined
to joke ? Mr. Day—Why, my Lord, the fact is I
was rather " clareted." I have now no precise or
accurate recollection of what led me to so vile a
place as the den of these semi-barbarians ; but I
could not have been respectfully treated, for I feel
as if the whole of the watch had mistaken my body
for a foot-ball.—(Laughter.)
The constable—Please your Lordship, the gen-
tleman made the same mistake with us, or we
wouldn't ha' made it with him. I'm blest if I think
there's a man among us didn't have a taste of his
toe behind.—(A laugh.)
The LORD MAYOR—lndeed, Mr. Day, I am sur-
prised that a person having the appearance and edu-
cation of a gentleman could derive amusement from
insulting these poor men. I wish it were possible
to make you change places with one of them for a
week.
Mr. Day—Burn me first—excruciate me—forbid
me communion with my kindred and friends; but
bar the watch—bar the nocturnal perambulator and
bawler, and body-snatcher.—(A laugh.)
A watchman—Please you, my Lord, though he
talks so fine here that a body would swear he was a
conjurer, he's as foul-mouthed a consent as never
was. Why, my Lord, he told us we was nothing
but a set of crawling, know-nothing varment
—there's words for a gentleman !—(A laugh.)
Why, please you, my Lord, when we told him we'd
take him afore your Lordship, he blowed his nose
in the heel of his hand, and said, says he, " That's
for the Lord Mayor ; that's for him and all the ould
bitches of haldermen wot meets for to rob the poor
livery of their rightful consarns."--(Laughter.)
It's enough to make every hair on a man's body for
to stand on end to hear rich words, in particular a
watchman.
The LORD MAYOR very severely and properly re-
buked Mr. Day for having alluded in such scurrilous
terms to a Court which it is known teems with
instances of liberality, mildness, disinterestedness,
taste, and public virtue.
Mr. Day denied most positively that he had ut-
tered a word in disparagement of the Aldermen.—
(Here the watchmen lifted up their eyes and said,
in different keys, " Oh !")
The constable (with energy)—Now, my Lord,
I'll show you what sort of a man this here man is.
He says he said nothing of the sort—now, I'm blest
my Lord, if he didn't say as how that the Alder
men (begging their Worships' pardon) was jist as
big Burkers as the watchmen.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Day—My good man, I meant it in a meta-
phorical sense.
A watchman—Aye, my Lord, there's the way
he goes on with his outlandish gibberish ; we told
him over and over again, that them wasn't words fit
to speak afore the Aldermen, but he don't care—he
goes on jist as if their Worships know'd any thing
at all about it.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. Day—l admit, my Lord, that the society into
which I fell might have had the effect of dislocating
my organ of utterance, but I received deep wrong;
I was cast into the black hole--I, Thomas Day,
was merged in a gulf amongst unsavory and voci-
ferous drunkards, and as black as Erebus. I soon
felt an uneasiness about my person, and in the morn-
ing I found it was attributable to a very offensive
and vulgar cause, for upon looking at the collar of
my shirt, I beheld several of those living evidences
of uncleanlines which are to be found in such abun-
dance in the folds of a mendicant's robe.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Day, if you abuse
the watchmen when in liquor, what are you to ex-
pect ? You must pay five shillings.
Watchman (with a hearty fellow-feeling)—l hope,
please your Lordship, you'll fine him another five
shillings for abusing their vorships.—Discharged.
BO W-S TREE T.
Ann Jones, a young woman of very respectable
appearance, was charged with shoplifting.
William Collinson, shopman to Mr. Mew, a
linen-draper, in High Holborn, stated that on Fri-
day evening the prisoner came to his master's shop,
and purchased a small piece of ribbon, for which she
paid. There was something suspicious in her man-
ner, which induced him to watch her, and he saw
her take two other pieces of ribbon and a pair
of kid gloves off the counter, and conceal them
under her shawl. As she was leaving the shop he
taxed her with the robbery, which she at first denied,
but afterwards produced the articles, and, falling on
her knees, implored forgiveness. An officer was
sent for, and in the mean time she was placed in a
room adjoining the shop, and on his entering the
apartment a few minutes afterwards, he found the
prisoner lying on the floor, quite black in the face,
and nearly dead, she having tied a handkerchief
tight round her neck in order to destroy herself;
but assistance being quickly rendered, she reco-
vered, and was taken by the officer to the station-
house. She afterwards stated that she was driven
to the commission of the offence in order to raise
money to pay her rent. The prisoner went on her
knees in the office, and in the most earliest man-
ner again implored forgiveness ; and, on being told
that she would be committed for trial, fell into an
hysterical fit, and in that state was carried out of
the office.
The Magistrate directed that some other woman
should be placed in the cell with her, to prevent her
renewing the rash attempt upon her life.
John Smith, a lad about fifteen years of age, was
charged with assaulting Emma Grainger.
The prisoner was discharged from Newgate only
on Friday last, to which place he had been com-
mitted on a charge of stealing a quantity of paper
from a stationer's shop in Chandos-street.
The complainant had lived with the " young
man," but on his being committed to Newgate she
" dropped" him, and took up with another. On
Friday night she met him in Covent-garden, when
he beat her violently, until the police interfered and
