and we Can only add that it was
,an incalculable
loss to those who were'deprimd of hearing them.—
Lord.NIALeAs sustained his part in the Opera with
the same ilAgnieilt he SO eminently displayed in.the
Address, and the two Mr. LANZAS were of very
great consideration iii the piece. Between tthe

COURT OF CHANcEaV,I4SV%Ie.-

COIITTEWT 0.1, COWL'.
Mr, HART sakil,,thM, the complaint °Which he had
now to melte arose out of a business.Whiqh hattbeen
sometime before the Court. .*A person, who..wa%
'usually known by thenattiel)f Whitely; but who had,
assumed the name. of-Whiteloeke; had laid claim to'
the great estates of theWhitelockefitmilyrsituatedin
'the-Counties of SoMerset and De.von. This person
•waS in a 'very low rank of life; rest Father liattdied in.
.tbe work-loose of that parish, where he officiated as
sexton, and,.as the,foundation of his claim, he had
contended, that his grandfather, when a child, had
beenseereted about the year 17 4e, and deprived of
his inheritance-, by Which mean's the property had
come into the handsof its present possessors. After
this man's claimi had been some time before the
Court, it was 'thought proper to appoint Cr/Minis-
simiers'fbr tho*purpose of investigating these claims;
on ''he spot, and inquiring into the title of the elaim- •
ant. _These Commissioners were Messrs. Kinglak,e:
and Maude, ver.frespeelable Attorniei, who lived in
the vicinity of the*-prOperty, and Who, after making
every investigation, submitted their Report to the
Court. What he had now to complain of, were some
remarks published on the Qtitkof October last, in a
periodical work, called, the " Legal Register." He
then Lead various extratts from that Journal, insinu-
ating
that the. Commissioners had not given in a fiir
Report) and that the deposition's contained in it were
coutradi6ted by the general declarations of the very
persons who gave these depositions, insinuating also,
that this was not surprising, when the poverty of
the Claimant was contrasted with the wealth of the
Defendants. . After reading these and other pas-
sages, Mr. HARI' proceeded to say, that he new ap-
peared in behalf of Sir Philip Hales, one of thoe De-
fendants, Who.were thus charged with prOCuring a
Report favourable to'-therd by the most flagitious
means. He submitted to his Lordship, v healer the
publisher, of Thi's NewSpaper had not been guilty of
such a contempt of Court a 4, required its immediate
interference, by committing the publisher, Lord
Hardwick': had distinguished this sort of offence into
three kinds. Thu first was, scandalizing the Court
itself; the second.), attacking the character's of .Suit,
ors, or cominiSsioners under 'the special pet:Radii*
of the Court ; and the third kiod was4rivitig a false
representation of 'what passed 'el Court. The pre-.
sent .otilince came evidently under* the second of
.tbose heads; and it wa4..not not, to exculpate
.the publisher,
,to Say that he employed some ether
person to write this offensive paper.
Mr. NEW-tolit and Mr. H SM. Da, in behalf of the
Commissioners, Messrs: Kinglakeand.Maude, made
a similar .application for committing the pubfjsiter:
'Phone: Coniunisioners were charged with sending up
a Report contrary to the knowledge and wink:ion of
the persons who gave theirdepositions, and of thou-
sands in that part of the Country ; and it was plain-
ly insinuated that they had been bribed by the wealth.
of the Defendants. Now these, very Commissioners
had been appointed at .the desire and request of
the Mined, and the questions Which they had put
were drawn up by. the' Plaintiff's Counsel. 11 they
were to be found fault .with, the regular way 'was,'
by an application to the Court, and not by publica-
tions in thee Newspapers. Their chavaders were not
to be thusimblicly attacked, and their reputation
ruined, at the, will of one of the paraei. They were
entitled to the pioteaion of the. Coert, and tins pro-
te6tion they .now ctairted.. Other paragraphs, re 7,
fleeting upon them, had previously appeared in
Newspapers, Which they had overlooked; 'but thii
was too'grost an attack to-be treated in that way..
Loan CttANdELLon.,,---What evidence is there of
the fael of publication ?
Mr. HART..---We have the affidavit of a purchaser
Of the Newspaper, ,as to the name of the publisher
aUixed to it: '
Loar Coktqcst.tott.--,:-Nothing but the most con
'summate ignorance could hare produced such mist=
representations. ,
On the 'motion, of 'Mr. lime ARLO; for the De-
fendant, the fUrther consideration Of the matter was
p'ostpoued till Monday'.

Mr. PAAK moved for a Rule toshew cause. why
'anew trial •should not take place in this ease, as it
was one attended with very peculiar circumstances.
It was a Cause %%bleb formerly CaMQ before his
Lordship at Guildhall, and the action was founded
upon a Policy of insurance, dated the 1.811) day of
February 1803, npon the Ship Mercurius, at Lon-
don, bound for Tobago and the West India Islands,
thdse of Jamaica and St. Dbmiugd excepted. • Po-
