the charity, which was sanctioned by the Attorney-General and
the Court, whereby it was agreed that the income of the charity
estates should be given three-fourths to the schoolmaster, and
one-fourth to the poor, In 1796 Brown was appointed Vicar of
the parish, and every thing passed off quietly until the en-
quiry of the Charity Commissioners, who on looking into
the accounts of the said charity, discovered that Brown, in
his character of Vicar, had charged a great many of the ex-
pences of the charity on the one-fourth of the produce of the
estates, which was applied for the poor, by that means receiving
his own three.fourths free from incumbrance. The present in-
formation was then filed for the purpose of compelling Brown to
refund that proportion which he had improperly charged on the
one-fourth belonging to the poor, and also for a severance of the two
inconsistent characters in which Brown then stood. The Court,
on the hearing of that information, was of opinion that the At-
torney-General was entitled to the relief he asked, and decreed
accordingly; but in consequence of the defendant alleging, after
the hearing of the cause, that he had discovered that he was en-
titled to the whole produce of some of the lands belonging to the
charity, and that he had acquiesced in theagreement under an im-
proper notion of what his rights were, the Court gave him liberty
to present a petition on the subject, and on the hearing of it di-
rected an inquiry to the Master, to ascertain the fact. The Mas-
ter found that with respect to the two principal estates, assigned
by the original founder, called Colesworth and Priestcliftb, the
Master was entitled to their whole proceeds, and against that re.
port the present exception was taken.
Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. BARBER appeared for the Attorney-
General, and Mr. BICKERSTETII and Mr. BEsmEs were Counsel
for the defendant Brown.
His HONOUR (the Master of the Rolls) entertained nodoubt
whatever as to the course he ought to pursue, and ordered the
exceptions to he allowed. On further directions the Court, con.
sidering that Mr. Brown had not acted bona fide in holding the
inconsistent situations of schoolmaster and vicar, declared that
he was bound to elect either to fill one or the other, but that he
could not hold both. The Court also ordered the Master to take
an account of the rents andprofits received by Mr. Brown.

The presence of the cholera morbus in this
country has very greatly embarrassed venders and pur-
chasers of life annuities, policies, and reversions. The
fear of the extension of that alarming disease has already
prevented several sales by auction ; and as the calculation
in the tables, which are usually the guide, cannot now, as
it is stated, be relied on, the embarrassment is likely to
continue.

CHOLERA.—The windows of a tea-ware.
house, in Leadenhall-street, yesterday, exhibited the fol-
lowing—" The greatest security against the cholera is tea,
taken in strong doses twice a day."

DEATH OF JOHN HENDERSON, THE CO-
MEDIAN.-(From .r. Correspondent.)—On Monday after-
noon, after a meat severe attack of internal inflammation,
which kept him in excruciating agony for three hours,
JOHN HITNDERSON expired. He was for many years a
faithfu/ servant to the late Mr. ELLlsTorr—a useful actor,
particularly in pantomime—and must be well remembered
by the frequenters of our minor theatres. He was a de-
termined dram-drinker—gin was his favourite beverage;
and it was by no means an uncommon thing for hint to
swallow 16 glasses of raw gin in the course of a morning !
A friend latterly told him, by way of warning, the anec-
dote that is related of SHERIDAN-namely, " that if he
did not abstain from his devotions to Bacchus, he would
destroy the coats of his stomach." SHERIDAN replied,
" then my food must digest in my waistcoat." Poor
HygnEasoar said "'tie very well, my friend, to talk about
actors, out of situations, dtinking—the fact is they can
get drink, but no one thinks of asking them to eat—they
at length lose all appetite, and are only capable of taking
liquids."

The lad, THOMAS BoULTON (the son of the
deceased Captain GREY Bouvr0t1), who was supposed
by his relatives to have been Barked," seeing an account
of his absence in the daily papers, called at the station-
house of the E division, in George-street, St. Giles's, and
accounted for his absence, saying that lie "abhorred being
beholden to his friends."
