LAW INTELLIGENCE.

project. At the bottom of the prospectus another false
pretence presented itself in the announcement of the
bankers, Messrs. Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co., and
Coutts and Co., who never authorised the use of their
names, and knew nothing at all of the concern to which
their names were so unwarrantably attached. The
facts which constituted the false pretences consisted
of the employment of certain persons to go round
with subscription books, and to collect money upon the
strength of the names of the individuals thus adopted
into the documentary portion of the system of delusion.
In these books appeared the following names to the fol-
lowing sums :—Caldicott, Cheapside, 251. ; Lett and
Co., Lambeth, 251. ; Curling and Co., Cheapside, 21/. ;
Jones and Williams, Bread-street, 201.: Leaf and Co.,
Old Change, 151. ; Mair and Co., Friday-street, 101.
10s. ; Rogers and Co., Watling-street, 101. ; Malden
and Co., 101. The collectors were instructed to exhibit
their books, and, upon the authority of these certificates,
to raise similar contributions, although not one of these
gentlemen therein named had subscribed one farthing.
In addition to all this, there appeared in the Times
newspaper 'advertisements from Mr. Byng, which further
confirmed, and strengthened the pretence, so that there
could be no doubt as to the object or the efficacy of the

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 17.

The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning, on coming
into Court, gave the following judgments :

COTNIAN V. ORTON AND ANOTHER.

In thisC;;C—his-I.4ORDSIIIP dismissed the bill with
costs, as against Orton, but without costs as against
Winterton, the other defendant.

:LLINGWORTH V. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAIL-

WAY.

The object of the injunction against the defendant,
MI originally applied for and first granted by the Vice-
Chancellor, was to prevent the diversion of the water of
the Calder from the mill of the plaintiff, and so de-
priving the mill of the use of the running stream, stated
to be essential to their business ; and secondly, to
compel the Railway Company to provide another road
for the place of a road called Jacob's-road. This in-
junction, upon the application of the defendants, the
Vice-Chancellor dissolved, from which decision the
plantiff appealed, and it was upon this appeal that
judgment was given. His Lordship said it was
clear from the affidavits that for eighteen months
before any application was made to the Court,
the plaintiffs were aware of the works of which
they now complained. The plaintiffs had failed in
proving that there was any intention on the part
of the Company to deprive them of the use of
the running stream ; and even if they had proved it, the
question would arise whether the Company were not
entitled, by their Act of Parliament, to deal with the
water as they deemed necessary, upon making such
compensation as the Act required. There was no proof
of any intention on the part of the defendants to evade
the provisions of the Act, and it was proved they had
no intention of interfering with the navigation without
first coming to an arrangement with the Calder
and Hebble Navigation Company. With respect to
the road, his Lordship was of opinion the plantiff bad
failed in proving the substituted road was not as conve-
❑ient, " or as nearly as might be," which was the words
of the Act, as the old road. Indeed it was free from
some of the inconveniences to which the old road had
been subjected. His Lordship was of opinion the de-
cision of the Vice-Chancellor was correct, and the ap-
peal must therefore be dismissed with costs. This de-
cision, however, would not prevent the plaintiffs suing
for damages at law if they should be so advised.
MORTIMER V. FRASER.

proof.
Alderman Lilo:Ayr; asked whether it could be proved
that Mr. Byng had received any money himself under
the circumstances detailed? Mr. Chapman replied that
the defendant had received money through his collectors,
who were ready to swear to the facts.
Alderman BROWN doubted the validity of such evi-
dence.
The Counsel for the defendant—Even if all that has
been stated could be proved, it would not constitute
the false pretence.
Mr. Chapman entertained quite a different opinion,
at the same time that he admitted there was an appa-

rent difficulty.
Alderman BRowN was of opinion that there might
be ground for indicting the defendant and his collectors
for a conspiracy, but there was no possibility of sustain-
ing a charge against the defendant as an individual ; he
therefore thought it useless to proceed in the case.
Sir PETER LAURIE was decidedly of opinion that
immense good sprung from the exposure of impositions
of this kind. He knew several establishments in Lon-
don which were supported by the most atrocious frauds,
and he considered that every person who assisted in dis-
closing to the public the: character of such concerns
were deserving of public thanks.
Mr. Chapman observed that the interposal of a tech-
nical difference or objection was calculated in the pre-
sent important case to mar public justice.
Alderman BROWN—You must know, as a lawyer,
that technical difficulties would be started elsewhere,
and why should they not be entertained here ? You
do not charge Mr. Byng with conspiracy ?
Mr. Chapman—No, for he is the only person against
whom complaint can be made. Hia collectors who re-
ceived money for him, are innocent parties, and it was
not until we had been repeatedly applied to by the per-
sons employed in that way by him that we resolved to
complain. The following is a letter which we received
from two of them _ . _

This case had also come before the Court upon an
appeal from the Vice-Chancellor. In Tregosant v.
Fraser, which was a suit to administer the estate of
the late Mr. Farquhar, Mr. George Mortimer, one of
his next of kin, was upon exceptions to the Master's re-
port, found by an order at the Rolls, indebted to the
estate in many thousands of pounds, which he had
claimed as gifts. That order was afterwards affirmed in
the House of Lords. The present bill was filed by Mr.
Mortimer's representatives, and the object of it was to
be protected, as between his estate and the other next of
kin, against being compelled to pay those debts so esta-
blished against him ; and the grounds on which that
was asked was an alleged contract between Mr. George
Mortimer and the other next of kin, by which it was
alleged that they, in consideration of his ad-
mitting the sum of twenty thousand pounds distinct
from the sums so established against him was a loan
and not a gift, and therefore due from him to the in-
testate's estate, agreed that ha should not be called on
for any other sum. The Vice-Chancellor dismissed
the bill with costs and his Lordship was of opinion
that the judgment of his Honour was well founded.
The appeal was therefore dismissed.

"12th November, 1840.

" Sir,—We beg leave respectfully to inquire if the
Anti-Corn-law Board of Tokenhouse-yard is in any way
connected with the Anti-Corn-law Association, the
former having advertised for canvassers ? We have re-
ceived appointments, but do not consider we should be
justified in occupying ourselves in the business it there
is any opposition that would act prejudicially to the
cause we both advocate.
" We are, Sir,
" Your most obedient humble servants,
" HENRY LYON,
22, Felix-street, Westminster-road.
MARK CRABTREE,
10, Wych-street, Strand."
Alderman BROWN asked Mr. Hobler what he thought
of the case ? Mr. Hobler replied that the complainant
might bring a bill before the Grand Jury.
Alderman BROWN—But could an indictment be
sustained in such a case ?

TURNER V. BORLASE.

This was also an appeal from a decision of the Vice-
Chancellor, who overruled the demurrer which had been
put into the bill for want of parties. His Lordship
confirmed the order of the Court below.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17.
BALL V. SMITH.

Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS obtained a rule nisi, for a
new trial, upon the affidavit of the defendant, that she
received no notice aed had no knowledge whatever of
any action in the case, until an execution was put into
the house, whereupon she paid the money.

Mr. Hobler said that men who had employed boys to
get forged or stolen checks cashed for them had been
indicted and convicted upon the evidence of the par-
ties employed, and in other cases persons who employed
others to obtain goods for them improperly had been
also found guilty upon similar evidence.
Alderman BROWN said it appeared to him that an
indictment could not be sustained.

Mr. Chapman submitted that it was part of the duty
of Magistrates to give facilities for laying before the
public matters the exposure of which would operate as
a caution and a safeguard, and he considered the pre-
sent case to be one in point.
Alderman BROWN said that Magistrates had also the
duty to perform to take care that a person accused
should not be wrongfully committed ; and that in all
cases legal evidence should be deemed indispensable.
He always acted upon that principle. He then de-
sired to know what the collector had to say.
Mr. T. J. Adams stated that he had been employed
by Mr. Byng to collect money, by exhibiting the pro-
, spectus. He showed it to Mr. Ilooper, of Milford-
street, Bermondsey, and received from him a guinea,
and on the same day he received two smaller sums from
other persons. He paid the money to Mr. Byng, who
paid him and another collector who accompanied hini,
twenty-five per cent. commission. The reports about
Mr. Byng's concern, however, were so bad, that they
determined not to act any longer without an explana-
tion, and Mr. Byng having refused to give any, they
thought it would be disgraceful to continue in the em-
ployment, and accordingly threw it up. The collecting
books contained the names of the gentlemen who had
been mentioned by Mr. Chapman, and the various
amounts of subscriptions quoted.
The LORD MAYou—Where are these books ?
Have you got them ? Mr. Chapman—No, my Lord,
Mr. Byng has got them. He can produce them.
The Counsel for the defendant—This is a dispute
between two rival companies, and it is difficult to know
what course to pursue. 1, however, would not advise
that the books should be produced without notice—we
hive had no notice whatever. It appears to me that all
the getting signatures and
subscriptions against employednsttOrni-nlaws as well as either of
these Societies.
Sir PETER LAURIE said that he was satisfied as to
the false pretence. There teas no doubt that the
money had been got upon the respectability of the
names, and that the use of the names had never been
authorised. lie saw several of the gentlemen present,
and begged to know from them whether they had ever
allowed their names to be used.
Mr. Warburton, Mr. Ricardo, and all the other
gentlemen, replied at once in the negative.
Mr. John Durrett, clerk in the banking-house of
Messrs. Ladbroko and Kingscote, stated that he had
been sent to prove that there was no account of Mr.
Byng's or his concern kept at his employer's house.
Mr. Chapman—Mr.,Leaf, and other gentlemen, whose
names are down in the defendant's book as large
subscribers, arc here to prove that they never gave, and
never were asked for a farthing. _ _ .

Alderman BROWN—StiII we are without the books.
Sir PETER LAURIE—The defendant may save the
trouble of an adjournment, by sending for the books.
Mr. Byng shook his head, and intimated that he saw
no occasion to produce the books at all.
Alderman BROWN—It is competent for Mr. Chap-
man to indict the defendant before the Grand Jury.
Sir PETER LAURIE-4. am sure the public are in-
debted to ad persons who come forward to expose im-
postures like this.
The Lotto MAYOR—Quite enough has been stated,
I think, to put the public on their guard, and prevent
them from contributing further.
The defendant's Counsel—Why, my Lord, if they
prove all they say, they can't make out a false pretence.
The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word, Sir, I never
saw any thing that looked more like a false pretence,
with all due submissio❑ to you.—(A laugh.) Is there
anybody present who saw the books in which the sub-
scriptions were entered ?—Mr. James Wilson, a mem-
ber of the Committee of the Anti-Corn-law Associa-
tion, stated that the two collectors present called upon
him, and produced a book, containing the names above-
mentioned, and the sums entered as their subscriptions,
and they stated that they had been instructed by Mr.
Byng to show the book, in order to induce others to
give subscriptions.
The LORD MAYOR—Really the matter appears to
me to be very plain, but in all probability the whole ob-
ject is sufficiently answered by the public nature of
the accusations, and the exposure of all the details,
which I have no doubt will be very extensively accom-
plished. He did not suppose, from the characters of
the gentlemen who attended against the defendant, that
there existed any vindictive feeling amongst them.
Mr. Chapman—Certainly not ; we have proceeded
thus, because the defendant persevered after the first
complaint made against him.
Alderman BROWN—No doubt the public will be on
their guard. My feeling is, that we must not alter the
course of public justice, in order to meet a particular

case.
Sir P. LAURIE.--S 0 I think too ; but, at the same
time, I am convinced that immeasurable good results
from investigations hare which people are in the habit of
saying Magistrates have no right to inquire into. It is
impossible until we have all the facts produceable in a
case before us to aay whether it is one for trial or not.
The LORD MAYOR—Then I declare this case at an
end ; and I dare say there will be no further provoca-
tion given. If there should, why the parties aggrieved
will know how to proceed, and what has taken place to-
day will enable them to supply defects of evidence
upon a future occasion.

LEE NEW CHURCH. --- The beautiful new
church at Lee, near Blackheath, sustained considerable
damage from the hurricane which took place on Friday
last. It carried away five pinnacles of stone from the turf
rets, two of which, of great weight, fell through the roo-
into the gallery, carrying everything before them to the
base of the building. The damage done is estimated to
exceed 151)1., and scaffolding is up to remove those por-
tions of the broken and overhanging pieccs which remain
in a perilous position.
