MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.--This morning, be.
tween seven and eight o'clock; a very distressing
accident happened in the family of a labouring
man.' named Thomas, residing in Chapel=place,
Strand. A male child of' two years Sand a half
old, was left in the room by the fire, while its
Mother Went out to•procure some Necessaries for
breakfast, and during her short absence, :it is
lupposOd the infant got playing; with the fire,: as
hi' a moment or tivb his cries were-hearc4 and
upon some, of the lodgers rushing into the room,
hitt) surrounded with' flames, and be.
ftOhtertfhetnytoUld be extinguished, the poor &Mid
was frightfully burnt about the chest, neck, and
face. It was taken to the Infirmary in a hope.
less state.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Ai:. TRESLOVE tIIUU ht
that the terms of the motion .were far too indefinite to operate as
a sufficient answer to the petition, which ought to have been
heard at this time.
The Loan CIIANCELLon said that he would not refuse the
order of reference, if they would 'undertake, on behalf of lir.
Wellesley, that the children should not be removed nor interfered
with tdtik.the opinion of the Court should be known.
The SdraciToß-GENERAL then applied to have the order
of reference cfrtsvn up consequently upon the two petitions.
The LORDCHANCELLOR said, certainly, there could be no
objection to that, if the other parties where earnest in their ap-
plicationfor a reference. .

Mr- lianT and Mr. HEALD objected to having the order
drawn under both petitions, because the other petition was of
a nature which made it desirable for Mr. AVelle,sley to have an
opportunity of answering it. They hoped that the Court would
allow that' petition to stand over, and give the order of refe-
rence under, the new petition.
' The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that both petitions should
stand over, if one.did. He repeated his-injunction that nothing
should be done to alter the situation and care of the children
until the will of the Court was expressed.

Mr. TRESLOVE asked for leave for the aunts to go in to the
Master's Office, to offer themselves as guardians. which they
would not be able to do unless it were expresSed in the, order,
because they were at present in possession of the children.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, overruling some slight objection
to this application, said that all parties shod have liberty to
go in and offer themselves for the guardianship ; and if any
other parties chose to apply to the Court for the same purpose,
to enlarge the order, they would beat liberty to do so.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 9.
M'qIIEGOR V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
Mr. RoUPEL, for the plaintiff in this case, argued a de-
murrer against the plea filed by the defendants. le appeared
from the allegations of the bill that Sir John Macpherson being
in the year 1785 Governor of India, had occasion to employ the
late General Sir John 11rOregor Murray (then Colonel Mur-
ray) upon a secret and important mission. The Upper Pro-
vinces of Bengal were .in a state of disturbance, and it was
feared an attempt would be made to drive the British forces
from their possessions in that part of India. These disturb-
ances were chiefly fermented by a Rajah named Sindiah, who
possessed great influence with many of the native princes. The
Governor thought the best means of counteracting the intrigues
of Sindiah would be by sending an agent of experience and
weight to negociate with the discontented Rajahs, and for this
purpose he selected Colonel Murray. That officer proceeded
upon his dangerous and-delicate task, accompanied only by his
purse bearer, whose attendance seemed to have been extremely
necessary in his negociations, Colonel Murray being obliged, in
'order to promote the success of his journey, to make very large
disburseinents. The Indian Treasury being at this time
wholly impoverished, Colonel Murray was obliged to pay
these sums out of his own funds, and received a part
of them back again by the order of Sir John Macpherson.
A balance of 19,000 rupees, however, remained due to
Colonel Murray, which he made no demand of in India,
knowing well there was no money there to pay him, but waited
until he should reach England to recoive the amount due to
him from the Company. His journey, about which the pay-
ments he had made were incurred, had been highly bene-
ficial to the interests of the Company, and were spoken of
iii the highest terms, as well by the Governor in his dis-
patches as by the Director& of the Company at home. In the
year 1797, Sir John Murray applied to the Court of Directors
for liquidation of the balance due to him : his request was not
complied with ; and he remained from that period .until the
time of his death, which happened in 1822, without being able
to procure any satisfaction from the Directors: .His son, the
present plaintiff; having found among his father's papers docu-
ments which convinced him that the -Company ought to pay
the sum claimed of them, brought an action at law. Ile did
not suppose, nor would any other person have believed, that
such a body as the East India Company would condescend to
avail themselves of the statute of limitations to bar the claim
of' so.meritorious and honourable an -officer as Colonel Mur,
ray had proved himself; but' that if they had any defence
they would' have set it up, and have fairly tried the claim. As
the greater part of the evidence in support of the claim must, of.
necessity, be in the possession of the defendants, the plaintiff,
at the same time that he began his action at law, filed a bill in
this Court for a discovery, 'to enable him to proceed in his
action. The East India Company pleaded the statute of limi-
tations ; and they had filed another plea in this Court, in which
the plea of -the statute was not included. On this ground the
demurrer was put in, which he had now to argue.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contended, that the omission
on which Mr. Roupell relied, had happened -entirely through
inadvertence, and that, according to the practice of the Court,
the defendants were entitled- to amend their plea, which he
prayed permission to do accordingly.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought this request must be com-
plied with ; and he therefore permitted the defendants to amend
on paying the usual costs.

COURT OF KING'S RENCII, Nov. 9. '7'

This being Lord Mayor's day, the Judges of this Court sate
in their scarlet robes, in compliment to the new Lord Mayor.
The Lord-Chief Justice *ore his gold -chain, as Chief Justice
-of all England, " capitalis justiciarius loans Anglia." In .the
course of the morning Alderman Venables, the new Lord
Mayor, after having been sworn in at the Court of Exchequer,
came into this Court with the other Officers of the Corporation,
the Recorder having moved that Mr. Le Blanc be appointed
Attorney of this Court, to defend all the rights and privileges of
the City. He invited' the Judges in the name of the Lord.
Mayor to dine with his Lordship, at Guildhall, this day, at
five o'clock, which Invitation was very graciously accepted.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.—THE BOROIJOR OF RYE.
Mr. Se...KLETT moved for a criminal information against
several inhabitants of the borough of Rye. The Corporation
of this borough' consisted of a mayor, jurats, and freemen.
This Corporation, whether regarded as an individual. corpora-.
, tion, if he might use such an expression, or as one of the cor-
porations of the Cinque Ports, was one of the most ancient in
the kingdom: By the original charter 'the officers of this Cor-
poration were annually elected on the Sunday next after, the
t'east of St. Bartholomew, which would be about. he latter end.
of August. • In the year 1631 the day of election was changed
to the Monday following, and so had continued ever since. Is.
was the custom for the Mayor, jurats, and freemen, to assemble
in the Town-hall, and elect a new Mayor; the new Mayor then
took the chair, and-chose from the freemen the jutats, of whom.
there could not be more than twelve in number.. The Mayor
• is by virtue of his-office a Justice of Peace. In the .course of
the past summer about sixty or seventy persons, on .one occa-
sion, presented themselves at the Court to have the. oaths f
allegiance and =supremacy administered ; for this request they
would assign no reason • whatever ; the oath was rneverthe,
less administered. On the 28th of last August _being the .
Sunday preceding the day of' election of the Mayor, Ser,,
'which would be •the day-of election according satire original
charter,• h number of' persons assembled, and. wentahrough a .
mock ceremony of' electinga Mayor, Joists, &c. On the fol.
lowing dab', when the Mayor, Jurats,.&c. had assembled to
elect new Officers,'according to custom, Mr. Richard .Whitton,
Who had been appointed Town Clerk • by the mock assembly,
attended in the Town-hall, 'and protested against the proceed--
ings,of •the day. Ile and -his .compeers were-ordered to with-
draw, when they retired in a body to the extremity of _the hall.
On the next Court day'this party again made theirappearance,
made speeches, &e. and at- length the Mayor. was compelled to
make some•of them find bail., They 'then: went to she end of
the hall, and made a kind of adjournment- On the 18th Octo-
ber a 'number of.them, among whom were .Mr. .11r.
Wotan, Mr. -Stocks, &c. contrived gee possession. f the
Town-hall, 'by breaking the locks. • This was: the daynnwtUch
the Quarter Sessions were held, and 'when theAlayor .'ansllthe
offieersnf the Corporation Arent to open the Court, they found,.
it already occupied, Mr. Merriam being seated asllayor, in his
robes, and Mr. NVhitton as Town Clerk, and all the -other offices
filled by persons in the appropriate costume. Mr. Thompson,
the real. Mayor, was obliged to adjourn
. the Sessions to his
own house, the fictitious Mayor and his associates having seized

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Most certainly not. Take
your rule to shew cause.

Rule granted against all the parties named in the affidavits.

CONSISTORY COURT, WEDNESPAY,NOV. 9.

LORD
.LISMORE V. LADY LISMORE.

This was a suit praying a divorce by reason of adultery corn-
' mitted by Lady Liir7lo{P with the 116 n. Mr. Richard Bingham,
second son of the Earl of Beaufort.
The libel exhibited contains 18 articles, the first two of which
plead the marriage of Lord Lismore to Lady Eleanor Butler,
daughter of the late Earl-of Ormonde ; and the remaining sr=
tides, with the exception of the 14th, plead various specifica-
tions of adultery, committed between the parties, at home, at
Naples, at Paris, and at Aberdeen, during a period extending
from 1818 to 1824. The 14th article pleads an admission ofher
criminality made by Lady ',ignore, at the house of her brother,
the present Earl of Ortnonde, to 111 r. Butler, in the spring of
, last year.
It appeared from the depositions, that the parties having se-
parated in the year 1819, Lady Lismore went to Lausanne, in
Switzerland, and subsequently went to Rome, where she bee
came acquainted with the Hon. Richard Bingham, second .son
of the Earl of Lucan, with wbotrr she commenced an adulter-
ous intercourse, and went with him to Naples. Several Wit-
nesses deposed to the familiarity which had taken place...there
between the parties. In such a manner was this intercourse car-
ried on, that it became notorious to all the domestics of her
house; and Miss Paton, a governess residing with her; had even
felt it necessary to remonstrate with her, and threatened her
Ladyship, that if she did not discontinue all intercourse with
Mr. Bingham, she could not remain. Mr. Bingham continued
tc visit her Ladyship on the same familiar terms, and Miss
Paton felt it necessary to leave her. Lady Lismore returned
to Lausanne, and afterwards proceeded with her retinue to
to Naples; on the road thither she was joined by Mr.,Bingham.
—On one occasion it was fully proved, by a servant named
Davis, who had gone into-her Ladyship's bed-room, that she
saw her in the same bed with Mt. Bingham. Lady Lismore
went from Naples to Paris, where she resided with her brother
for a. short time, and soon after set off for Florence,- being
joined on her way there by Mr. Bingham, with whom she lived
subsequently as his wife.

The. Learned Advocate having concluded his depositions,
stated that Lord Lismore, having become acquainted, with this
adulterous intercourse in the year 1824, took the usual steps to
commence an action for damages, and he submitted to the
Court, that the marriage being. lmitted, and the -facts of
adultery fully proved, his Lordship was entitled to the retpedy
he sought.

Dr. ARNOLD, for Lady Lismore. commented on the evi-
dence, and contended at considerable length that the evidence
adduced in support of the case was not entitled to that credit
which was necessary in a case of'. this kind ; and that a cow-
fession, which was alleged to be made by Lady Lismore to the
Honourable Mr. Under, was not of that positive nature to
support the charge. Her expressions to him, he (Dr. Arnold)
thought amounted only to an acknowledgement that she had been
guilty of thoughtless and. foolish conduct, but nothing Elie
crime. The whole of the evidence was full of such impro-
bable statements, that it was imposSible it could be credited.
But even if the facts stated were true,- Lord L. by his own
conduct, in separating himself from his wife, had debarred
himself from the remedy be sought for. The state of Lady L.'s
health was such Its to (bilge her to have recourre to thebetlefit
of a southern clime. Lord L. was at first averse to allow her to
go, but haying, after a considerable time bad elapsed; 'consented
to go with her, they came-to London for that purpose;' but Lord
Lismore again delayed their departure. Lord Lisniore went
back to Ireland, and he subsequently came over to fltlfil 'his
promise of going to the Continent. He went as far hißams-
gate, where having left his lady in lodgings, he left „lion to
return no more to her. This extraordinary conduct .was no
doubt irritating enough to a lady in a delicate state ,of health,
but it was followed up by a declaration fnim his Lordship,
that " if she was determined to go, she must go _alone.'
The tackles for a separation were then entered into;' and
her Ladyship was allowed by him to go alone to roam
amongst the licentious capitals of the Continent, without his
protection, or that of any other person, whose advice or reaon-
strance might have been a protection for her virtue.: Though
he (Dr. Arnold) would not contend the articles of separation
Should be considered a bar to a suit for adultery; yet, as iiWas
a separation' entered into by Lord Lismore with the avowed
object that he would permit his lady to go abroad alone., he
thought his Lord Ship, in consenting thereto, had beeh the
origin of all the 'misfortunes for which he this day felt hittiself
an object for the "interposition of the Court. • To him: alone
could they be 'fairly attached. The Learned Advocate-adverted
to the length of time which Lord L. bad. permitted 'to elapse
before he commenced his action for damage's ; and said,: :that
the small sum given him as compensation, namely, one shilling,
sufficiently accounted for the oon,produition of the Verdict,
which was usual in cases of this nature.

Dr. Donsox followed on the same side, submitting that
Lord Lismore was not entitled to the relief prayed for.
Mr. LUSHINGTON replied at great length.
The COURT postponed its judgment tifl the.next sluing;
THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH V. HANSON, FALSV:LY
CALLING HERSELF COUNTESS OF PORTSMQUTHL;',

'!'he libel and exhibits tendered in this cause were ordered
by the Court to Le admitted on the third session of the pfe-ient
term. The suit has been sent down to this Court at the ex-
press desire of the Lord Chancellor. The libel contains no less
than 49 articles,. besides several exhibits.
