DEVONSHIRE COUNTY MEETING.

On Friday afternoon a meeting of the Free-
holders of Devonshire, convened by the requisition of five Ma-
gistrate's, Fasheld in the Castle-yard. at Exeter.—Lord ERRING-
TON was unanimously called to the Chair.
Mr. BUDD said, that it had fallen to his lot to move the pe-
tition. It was impossible but there must be shades of difference
as to the extent to which a Reform in Parliament should be
carried; but upon the main points all agreed, that by Parlia-
mentary Reform the corruption of the State could alone be re-
duced. The petition was so worded as to meet the views of all
present, and he had only now to move that it be read.
Mr. H. FORD read the petition, which was of the ordinary
nature.

Mr. HAMLYN congratulated the Meeting that they had ar-
rived at a period when, from the high example yet them by
other agriculturalists, to complain of their distress was no longer
disaffection, and to petition was no longer sedition.
Mr. Rm./I)LE intimated that he was ready to move that a
vote of censure should be passed on the County Members, for
neglecting to attend and -bear the sentiments of their consti-
tuents.

Lord EBRINGTON then put the question that.the petition
be adopted, which was carried unanimously, not one band
having been held up against it.
Dr. Tucazn moved a vote of censure upon the Sheriff for
gross misconduct on a late occasion, which was carried una-
nimously.
Mr. SANFORD of Ninehead, proposed a vote of thanks to the
Magistrates who had convened the fleeting, which was carried
unanimously.
His LORDSHIP dissolved the meeting, and notice was given
that petitions would he immediately prepared, and let't for sig-
natures in varius parts of the county.
Three cheers were given for the Spaniards, and the assem-
blage dispersed,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Arnie. 12.

MELLISH V. MELLISH.

Mr. HonNE beged leave to mention this case, in which his
Lordship hhd ordered Miss Mellish to pay the sum 0f.24,0001.
into Court, and Mr. Mellish to execute a conveyance to her of
certain lands. His client, Mr. Mellish, had no objection to
execute the conveyance, but he understood it was insisted at
the other side, that it should precede the payment of the money
into Court. He saw no reason why this should be so ; for after
the conveyances were made, Mr. Mellish was likely to have a
lien upon it, as he contended that on the settling of the ac-
count, a balance would be found in his favour of 11,000/. ;
and she ought not, therefore, to have it in her power to part
with the conveyance before that balance was satisfied. She
had the title-deeds at present in her possession ; and both
they and the conveyance ought to be lodged in the Master's
office.

The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what time was the money
Lo be paid into Court ?
Mr. HoRNE said, that was not material, as there was no
time asked.

Mr. WETHERELL said, he had not heard any reason as.
signed by his friend Mr. Horne, why the execution of the con-
veyance should not precede the' payment of the money into
Court. He owned that his (tient was in possession of the title
deeds.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.—WouId it not satisfy you, Mr.
Wetherell, if the money were not allowed to be paid out of
Court until the conveyance was executed?
Mr. liona4E.—Vire don't want it to be paid out of Court, my
Lord.

The Loan CHANCELLOR.-I think it will secure you, Mr.'
Wetherell, if the money be ordered to be paid into Court, and
not to be paid out until the conveyance shall he executed ; with
liberty to you to apply .to the Court, in case, when the convey-
ance is prepared, they should refuse to execute it.
Mr. WET lIERELL.---.lt is agreed between the parties, that a
case shall be drawn up for the decision of the Court of King's
Bench, as to what estates Miss Mellish took by her father's will.
The Lonn`CliAscEi.r.on.—Very well. Then let the title
deeds and conveyance be lodged in the Master's office.
