LAW INTELIMENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 13.
THE PORTSMOUTH CAUSE.

The LORD 6AScii.Lon, in the course of his übservntions
yesterday upon the letter sent by, Lady Portsmouth to Lord
Portsmouth, did not threaten to commit her Ladyship as repre;
sented in some reports. His Lordship only expressed a wish
that the circumstance would beexPlained in Lady Portsmouth's
affidavit, and added, that if certain attempts were made to ob-
tain possession of Lord Portsmouth's person, it would be a
Contempt of. Court, such as had in other' cases been visited
with commitment to the Fleet.

The LORD CHANCELLOR. this morning ordered that Dr.
Ainslie might visit Lord Portsmouth in company with any of
the four medical men ivhd had formerly visited his Lordship.
But. Dr. Ainslie mist previously have read all the affidavits in
the cause; and for that purpose it was necessary that it should
be known how early the affidavits to be sworn on the part of the
defence would be filed.

Mr. HORNE said he thought they would be filed in the course
of to-morrow.
The Lotus CHANCELLOR said it might be arranged be-
tween the parties whether the cause should be proceeded in on
Monday, or an what subseqttent day.
In the course of the day, we understood that Dr. Ainslie's
consent to visit Lord Portsmouth was obtained, and that Sir
George Tuthill is to accompany him. '
CONTEMPT.—LEES V. AINSWORTH.

Mr. WAKEFIELD stated, that the defendant in this case
had not been aware that Miss Lees was a ward of that Court,
and that now he was ready to make a suitable settlement upon
her.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that if he meant only to
settle her own fortune upon her, that was no more than the
Court would have provided for in any circumstances. The
case must stand over until Mr. Ainsworth should advise with
his friends, and ascertain what settlement he could make be.
sides the lady's fortune.
The case was ordered to stand over accordingly.
There was no interest in the bankrupt petitions which were
heard during the rest of the day.

VICE-CHANCELLORS COURT, Nov. 13. •

RATTLY v. LATHAM.,

This was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, Mrs. 'ltaly, and
her four childfen, for the production of a deed hi the possession
of the defendant. The cirumstances of the case are these :
The plaintiff had formerly cohabited with the defendant, and
borne four children to him. The defendant, who was a mar-
ried man, executed a deed in which he made provision for the
plaintiff and her children. Thig deed was placed in the hands
of a third party, who had since delivered it up to the defendant,
who insisted in retaining it.
Mr. BELL, on the part of the defendant, said that his client
had put in a demurrer on the ground that the transaction upon
which the deed was founded was of an immoral character ; and
that the Court would not 'enforce any agreement which rested
upon an immoral consideration.
Mr. LOVITT, 'who was on the same side, cited the case of
Priest and Bullock, in Vesey 2, the circumstances of which, he
said, were similar to those of the present suit. Lord Hard-
wicke, before whom the cause was argued, declared that a Court
of Equity would never enforce the execution of a deed made by
a married man in favour of a woman with whom he had coha-
bited, if it should appear that the woman knew at the time that
he was married.
The VicE-CnAgcELLon could not understand the equity
of Lord Hardwicke's decision. Surely it could not be main-
tained that it was not equitable for a man to make provision for
a woman whom he had ruined, after cohabitation had ceased.
The VICE.CHANCELOR asked whether it was meant to be
asserted that a married, man had never been a party in any of
the cases in 'which the Court had enforced the execution of deeds
drawn up under similar circumstances to that at present in
question ?
Mr. LOVITT said, he had carefully searched for all the cases
of the present description which had come under the considera-
tion,of the Court. Most of the cases had come before the Court
upon applications to have, the deedS cancelled. The Court had
always refused the application, alleging that the plaintiff's im-
proper conduct rendered him undeserving of relief. In no
case, however, front the first ito the last, that had come to hir
knowledge, and, he. had searched carefully, bad the Court eves
held that a deed executed by a married man 'under such cir-
cumstances as that in the presentrase was valid. Lord Hard-
wicke's decision was quoted by Sir Sainnel Romilly and Mr.
-Bell in the House of Lords, in. opposition to a bill similar to
the present. The Lord Chancellor alluded to it without im-
'pugning its'doctrines, which was backed by the opinion of the
present Master of the Rolls.
' TheVicE-CHANcELLon observed, that he had been look-
ing at the case alluded to, and th9glit it was not analogous to
the present. In the former case, immediate relief was prayed.
and the Court.refused it on the, ground: that the deed was void
