LAW REPOR7.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APR ID 8.
Lord Chancellor Ef.DON this morning took his
seat in this Court.

LUCAS V. TEMPLE AND WIFE.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL, stated the Proceedings
that had been had in this Caukie, and added, that the
reference to the Master was to Mr. Cox, and it was de-
. sired, that Master Hervey might be substituted for
that Gentleman, as he was intimately acquainted with
the transaEtions. It was also sought, that Mr. Coul-
thurst, the attorney who had been employed, should
be examined, touching monies received for the. De-
fendants ; and that an action at law, commenced by
Mr. Coulthurst, in the Court of Common Pleas, to.
enforce the payment of his bill of costs, arnounting.
to 20001. should be stayed:
Mr. HART objected to this Motion. He said that
his client, Mr. Coulthurst, had delivered his bill as
early as November last, for costs since the year 1797.
. The Defendants, in resped to the amount of them,
had agreed to refer the taxation to Messrs. Wainwright
arid Hall, two of the Clerks of the Court; and the sub-
jeft of the suit was the sum stated to be due by such '
reference. Mr.Coulthurst was far from being disposed
to shrink from inquiry, and would submit to any exa-
minations touching his receipts for account of the De-
fendants. Neither had he any objeCtion to the sub-
stitution of Master Harvey for. Master Cox. Certain
Bills had been offered in
.payment of the costs, dated
at a months; if such Bills were delivered to Mr. Coul:
thurst, there would be no objection to stay proceed-
ings at lAw. Mr. Temple had been arrested as he
was taking ship to proceed to the Coast of Malabar.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL. —" I presume the par-
ties will be ready to deliver the Bills in payment."'
Lord ELDON.—" Mr. Conti harSt. consenting, let
him be .examined upon the interrogatories : the ac-
count to be taken before Master Hervey, and the
costs of this application to abide the Court. Mr.
Hart's client to have the costs of the action at law."

The tide 0( success which HORNSBY and Co. met,
with in the last Lottery, in sharing Forty-five
Capital Prizes, has given a strong predilection in
their favour. The demand at their Offices for
Tickets and Shires in the present Lottery far ex-
ceeds their most sanguine expeaations. HORNSBY
and Co. hope to gratify their friends on the ensuing
occasion (next 'Tuesday), supplying them with
20,0001.'s 10,0001,'5, 5,0001.'5, I,oooL's, and
5001.'5, at 2t3, Carahill, 52, Charing-Cross, and St.

Of England) and Crib to)k- place. yestetdayat I\4„.eul-
sey Hirst ; opposite Hampton, fora stake of .400
gil;neas. Both the pugilists are qily.brPted in the
,yl.,)rting world. It has been a niatler of sorpri;e to
nkoly that (I.lpt. B. 'should have vct:tired ,•to
,have
backed Crib against so celciN-ated a professur as
Belcher, who; although he 11.a..1 in ar.!tne,Ot.gree dege=
Orated:in strength,' be sides ha% ( ye, ranked
first in the science of prize-tighting: ' When Bel-,
chefs prowess iivaS tit its tenith, enith, it would 'have
been farcical to have matched Crib • againA •him ;
but -tkie tiiightiest maybe overcome---and -such_ was
the case with Belcher; whoSe tame was obscured by
the result of his niemarable battle with the Game
Chicken.

Crib, who is, by way iif distinEtion, elegantly
termed the Blatk Thum; nd, haS but bumble preten-
siens to the chara&er of a Skilful boxer ; but he
poSsesses those qualities, with relefence to his method
of fighting, which entitle him to a place about third
on the list of the bruiiers of the present day. He
has successfully opposed- Wake, jfaddox, arid several
Others of second-rate, but be was obliged lo yield
the palm of Victory to Nichols, a Brist(il Lad, two
years since, whoni'Belcher once beat. Crib is ne-
vertheless considered by the cognoscenti a safe man
to back, for he is, technically speaking, the com-
plete gliriton, and never yields until nature obliges
him. The mode of fighting he has unitimnly adopt-
ed has been that of falling back, in order that his ad..
versa might follow him, and it is by perseverance
in this retreating system,' ttat Crib fights at home,
for those who exhaust themselves in ptirsaing him,
generally get punished. He, is a slow hitter'; but,
Co perle& kiln in the science of boxing, Capt. B.
And Bill Ward have frequently sparred with him since
lie has been in training, rind he had evidently pro-
fited by their instrutitons. At eleven o'cloCk yes:.
terday Hampton was filk-11 with the amateurs, and
at twelve o'clock the candidates for their" diversion
entered a I,ro-feet roped ,ring,- encircled by one of
very large dimensions'. Each of them appeared full
Of confidence; and Belcher betted Crib .25 to Q 0 be-
fore- they Set to. Average betting was about G to
4 in the hng, but the cognoscenti were cautious of
taking the odds.
