ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY

The Master of the Rolls this morning gave judgment in the IV
lowing cases :

DAINTREE V. WATSON'.
The petition in this case was dismissed with costs.
CHERRY V. BOULTBEE.
The plaintiff in this case was the assignee of Thomas Boultbee, bank-
rupt, now deceased, and the bill was filed against the executor of Ca.
therine Frances Boultbee, the testatrix in the cause, praying that the
plaintiff as such assignee might be declared to be entitled to a legacy of
2,0001. with interest from the death of the testatrix, and to a legacy of
5001. with interest from the death of Catherine F. Boultbee; and that
the necessary accounts might be taken, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the defendant had assets to pay those legacies. Thomas
Boultbee was indebted in certain sums to Catherine Frances
Boultbee, and in the month of November 1821, a Commission of Bank-
ruptcy issued against him, and the plaintiff became his assignee.
Catherine F. Boultbee did not prove her debt under the Commission,
but in December 1821, she made a will whereby she directed her
executors to invest 2,0001. in their names in the public funds or real
Securities, in trust to receive the interest during the life of Thomas
Boultbee, and pay the same into his hands, without the same being liable
to be charged in anticipation, and after his death the 2,000/, was limited to
such person as he should by will appoint. The testatrix died in
September, 1822. The executors stated that the assets were insufficient
to pay the legacies in full, but that, after the death of Catherine Boult.
bee, they paid certain sums on account of the legacies. Thomas Boult.
bee died in December 1823, without even having obtained his certificate
under the commission : and the question was, whether the executors
had a right to set off the legacies given to the uncertificated bankrupt,
against the debts due from him at the time of his bankruptcy p
His Lordship was of opinion they had not. The conclusion to which
he had come in this case differed from the decision of Sir John Leach in
ex-parte Mann ; and if there were not special circumstances in that
Case, he was afraid the two decisions would be inconsistent with one
another.

FEREDAY V. MACHIN.
His Lordship was of opinion the costs of this suit' ought to be paid
out of Mr. Fereday's share of the partnership property, the whole of the
litigation having been occasioned by his conduct.

Console for the Account, 931 i.

The King has engaged to make up to the widow of
General Damremont the pension of 10,000 francs which the
Government proposed to the Chambers. Madame Damremont
has been admitted to the King and Queen to present her ac-
knowledgments.—Galignani.

About six o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the inha-
bitants of the lower part of Fleet-street were alarmed by a
loud explosion, proceeding from a printing office in Peterbo-
rough-court. It appears that a steam-boiler had burst, through
some defect of the metal, and had carried away the whole of
the machinery attached to it. The concussion b"oke a large
number of panes of glass in the windows of the neighbouring
helices, and destroyed the ceiling of the room in which the
enono was placed. Two persons were slightly injured.
The last link of the chain of falsities and fabrica-
tions which appeared, as a defence of the Rossmore policy in
Monaghan, in a late number of the Evening Post, has been
knocked asunder in a letter from Henry Grattan, M.P. Mr.
Grattan totally denies the insinuation of " Vindex," that he
has neglected to register his tenants; and informs him, more-
over, of his belief in a political principle, which must be new
to a disciple of the liossmore school—viz., that the landlord
has no claim upon the franchise of his tenant, and he adds that
many of his tenants in Monaghan use their votes against the
candidate supported by him. It is amasinz to see haw en-
tirely every statement put forward in this manifesto has been
demolished, from the calumny upon Mr. Reilly to the inuendo

HULL.
The Committee met this morning at ten o'clock, when the examination
of James Goddard was again proceeded with, relative to the vote of
Richard Conkerton. The objection was ultimately withdrawn in conse-
quence of the absence of a witness.
Edward Acre was next objected to.
Samtal Cavill, who resides at Barton, near Hull, was examined by
Mr. Hill. He stated that there are 24 voters at Barton; and that about
a week, before the election Mr. Cattley, of Hull, visited them for the
purpose of soliciting their votes. The party met at a beer.shop kept by
a person named Whiteley, and the voters were allowed to drink
what they liked, not being called upon to pay for anything. On
the Friday before the election, Mr. Cattley again met them at
the Swan, where they had as much rum, gin, or brandy as they
chose, for which no payment was demanded. On the Monday morn-
ing the parties left Barton in the steamer, and on landing imme.
diately proceeded to the poll, atter which they went to the Humber
Tavern, where they breakfasted by direction of Mr. Cattley. They all
dined at the Humber Tavern, and continued drinking until half.past
eight at night, when they returned to Barton, pretty well " freshed,"
as the witness expressed it. Nothing was paid by them for the enter-
tainment which they received. A yre was one of the pasty.
The Committee struck ofFthe vote.
Edward Cherry was next objected to, but there not being sufficient
proof of identity the vote was retained.

ALDON.
At the sitting of the Committee this morning, Mr. Sergeant Maas-
WETileit, on the part of the petitioners, said that after the decisions
of the Committee yesterday he did not think it would be prudent to
incur any further expense, and should, therefore, withdraw the petition.
The Committee then declared Mr. Round to be duly elected, and that
the petition was not frivolous or vexatious, neither was the opposition
thereto.

KINSALE.
The Committee met this morning at eleven, when Mr. Andrews said
he woulkt otter no further evidence in the case of Arthur Buttle. The
rote was then retained.

Timothy Casey was objected to by the petitioners, on the ground that
his house in the marketplace was of insufficient ♦alue. Witnesses
were called in support of the objection, who stated the property to be
not worth more than tSI. or 71. a year. On the other side, the landlord
declared the house to be worth more than I Of., and other witnesses cor-
roborated his tcstimony, stating the house to be situated in the best part
of the market.

wisesa V. Fl3llBa.
The object of this suit was to have a declaration of the rights of the
parties interested under the will •f the testator Robert Fisher, and the
principal question in the cause was, in what order the assets of the
testator were to be applied in payment of his debts.
His Lordship was of opinion the debts, funeral and testamentary
expenses were primarily charged upon, and ought to be borne by the
freehold, customr-ry freehold, and copyhold estates; and if such estates
were more than sufficient fur the payment of the debts, funeral and tes-
tamentary expenses, one seventh part thereof was undisposed of by the
will, and had descended to the testator's heir-at-law. The real estates
would have to be sold, and if they were sufficient for the payment of the
debts, there would be an end of the question.
