DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new historical play, in five acts, from the pen of Mr. SitERMAN
KNOWLES, and entitled A?fred, or the Pstridt Aing, was last
night performed at this theatre. It was well written, well acted,
(particularly by Miss PHILLIPS) and will, we doubt not, have a
run. The house was full.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)
COURT OF CHANCERY.

The Loan CHANCELLOR, the LORD CHIEF Jusiic
of the Court of Common Pleas, and the Loan CHIEF
BARON, sat at ten o'clock to hear arguments in the case of
Wright v. Tatham, which was en appeal from a
decision of the present Master of the Rolls, refusing a
new trill. The question was, whether a gentleman of
forune, named Marsden, who resided in Lancashire, (and
died in 1826) was competent to make a will at the time
he made. his testamentary document or not? An issue
was directed by the Court of Chancery which was tried
at York, and the Jury had found him cornpos mentis.
Admiral Tatham applied for a new trial, which his
Honour had refused to order, and hence the present dis-
cussion. Sir JAMES SCARLETT for the appellant, and
Mr. Por.Locr for the respondent, appeared as the common
law—Mr. DIICKWORTH and Mr. JAcos as the equity
counsel.

The Marquis of EXETER scruples at no-
thing in conducting the elections at Stamford. Besides
the thirty-six boxers who were sent from London, three
hundred more have been hired at seven shillings. They
are armed with large sticks or staffs. A regular battle
takes place every evening, and hitherto the borough-
mongers' party have been well pommelled. Money, beer,
meat, promises, and more especially threats, are dealt out
in profusion by the Noble Marquis. Confident hopes are
nevertheless entertained that he will be signally defeated.--
