A WIDOW BURNT.—On the 14th of April,
Ramkoomur, sen, a native.doctor of consider-
able respectability, died at Serampore. He
was frequently. employed by our native
brethren, and attended the death-bed of our
beloved lirishnoo. Oh, that his last end had
been like his! On the evening of the same
day, his widow was burnt -with . his corpse
at Bullubhpore Ghent, adjoining to Se-
rampore, with the usual barbarities.— We
were sorrY that we had not the least notice
of the circumstance till after the pile was blazing
and the time for interference was past. 'He was
about 45 years of age, and she about 37 ; she
had no son, but an only daughter who is married.
Her last wish to see her child was refused ;
perhaps it was feared that her maternal feel•
ings would have destroyed her fatal resolu-
tion, and thus have deprived these mild and com-
passionate Hindoos of the enjoyment of witness-
ing her being burnt alive.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 17.
HIGHGATE GRAMMAR ,CHOOL.

THE ATTORNEY-OENERAL v. THE EARL OF MANSFIELD.
Mr. Lrxcti this day- concluded his arguments on the same
side with the Solicitor-General anti Mr. Shadwell.

Mr. BICKERSTETPI also appeared on behalf of the Earl of
Mansfield, and Mr. Mentz, the clergyman, who had been ap-
pointed Master of the Highgate Grammar School.
Mr. ilbItNE at some length replied. -
The LORD. Cuaxc ELLO a then expressed a decided opinion,
that the true construction Of the most ancient deeds was, that
these funds Were not originally granted for two purposes, but
for one only, viz. the establishment of a grammar-school at
Highgate. It had been very forcibly argued by the Counsel
for the trustees, that when 'the Bishop originally Made the
grant of the chapel to Sir Roger Cholmondeley, it never was
intended that it should fall into desuetude. But to this argu-
ment a sati4actory answer might be given, that no Bishop had
a 'right to enlarge the incumbrances and charges on the see,
and when he made. this grant there was no obligation upon
him fo enlarge it. It was plain, therefore, that the Bishop
intended to give -the chut.rq. and lands annexed to it for the
benefit and stistentation hf the Grammar-school, an obli-
gation which existed in the Founder before this grant was
made. His Lordship was well aware, that in the education
of children there was 'a fashion, and that the schools of
Eton, Westminster, and Narrow, had been filled. There
was also a fashion amens some. .paople to educate their
children by private tuition. The, consequence had been that
the private schools had.' been deserted, and the funds had
proportionably been increased. A doubt had existed in the
mind of Lord Ilardwieke, whether the-heir who had been die.
inherited by the charitable ciOnation, had not a claim upon the
surplus of such funds whichtould not be applied to the pur-
poses originally intended by the founder. Taking a view;
therefore, of the whole of this case, the first, and most im7
pcirtant question to be considered was, whether these Trus:.
teea of the- charity could take upon themselves the obligation
oreniarging the charity, and.of applying the funds for the pur-
pose of rendering the chapel fit to contain fifteen hundred in-
habitants of thOianilet of Highgate ? His opinion being that
the chapel and and were granted.upon trust for the benefit of
the school, and that it ought to be treated in the same. manner,
as when the original Trustees took it, it could not be liable to
•the trust fund for elarging.it. NO new obligations were created
and the present Trustees were bound to execute the trust ac-
cordingto the ancient rule and custom. These were the strong
impressions 'upon his mind, and if a decree was thought neces-
sary- by the parties, he would pronounce it. With respect to
the costs incurred in Parliament it was quite new to allow them
in a- Court.ofEquity, and he' would make no order with re•
apect to them.

COURT OFKING'S BENCH, JAw. 17.
HENLEY V. THE'I%.O.iIQUIS OF WEST.3IEATH,

This was an action against Lord'Westmeath to recover a
debt irreurred by his lady, who is separated from him by deed.
Before it was opened, the Counsel on both. sides agreed that it
should be referred to Mr. Alderson, who should, if necessary,
raise on his award the lop.] question as-to the operation of the
deed, for the opinion'Of Court.'

RUTHERFORP V. THE TRUSTEES.OF HALL'S WILL.
This was an action brought by Mrs. Rutherford of Sunder-
land, against the trustees acting under the will of her brother,
the late Richard Hall, of the Commercial-road. for the reco-
eathed away from the family by the deceased. The action
Very of certain leasehold property, which was said to have been
woasasebziumgho vtio ini die fonremeeosfmarily necjaecllternaeti in the first instance
upon against the parties in
p
to,:sustain the validity of the will,
Mr. GVIINEY, on the part of the residuary legatees, stated
the case in support of the validity of the will, and called several
.witnesses to, prove,:. that the late Richard Hall, who died of
dropsy in the year 1822, haa-un the 24th Sept. of that year made
a will, hellneathingliia persouM property; which was under WOOL
to several friends therein named, and his leasehold property,
worth about 1500/. to thetas also, and leaving (and that Mr.
Gurney represented to• have been of their own suggestion) to
Mrs:Rutherfordi-wbG was Mr. Hall's sister, 10001. Many of the
witnesses said, that Mr. Hall repeatedly declared he would not
leave her one farthing, calling her at the sane time an " impu-
dent hussey," and saying that she had collected and spent the
rent of some property which he had in the north of England.—
It aPPeared that the will was made on the day before he died,
when he was so feeble as to be obliged to he helped up and
supported in the bed, when he could hardly articulate " yes"
Dr:,' no," and that a person in the room held his hand, and put it.
on the paper to make his mark.
Dr. Billing said that he attended and tapped him on the pre-
vious day, or day but one
bility ; that he was incoherent, and he could not say whether
when he was in a state of insensi-
he was or was no competent to make any will.
A porter stated that he sat up with him on the two nights
beibre his death, and that he appeared in his perfect senses, and
able to call for brandy and water, which the nurse appeared to
haVe supplied him with
as well as taken a sup or two herself ;
for,the doctor. said that on one of these occasions he found both
.•
nurse and patient labouring under the effects of this liquor.
The case in support of the will was closed at a quarter before
six o'cloek, when

Mr. Scant.T•,r said he was anxious before, at that hour,
of the evening (near; six o'clock), he addressed them on the
defence, to know if they hid a doubt upon the case ; for, if
they thought with him, that the man was. not in a condition
to make a will at the moment the paper was scratched upon,
there would be no use in wastina, thei
time for an hour or
tvio further.

The Jury, after a short consultation, said they were satisfied
he was not at the moment competent to make a will ; their ver-
dict was therefore for the plaintiff.
Several women who were in Court, and interested in the
cause, commenced shouting for joy and clapping their hands,
and the Lord Chief Justice threatened to commit them if they
did not desist.
