CONTEMPT.

On Saturdnv, the LORD CHANCELLOR ill bis
private Chamber at Lincoln's !nu, atter going
tbrOngli the list of Lunacies. beard the follokVing
most interesting ca.ie-4Bal,kruptcies, viz.

IN ..711E m<yrrF,lt 01 CLARKE, A BANKRUPT-AND

IN THE ZIATTLR OF CLARKE AND OTHERS, BANK-

RC/YTS.
These matters came on upon •notion -of Mr.
AGAR, as Counsel for the Solicitors in -these joint
and separate Commissions, against whimi An or-
der of attachorent had issued, for contempt in dis-
obeying an order of court, for delivering up to
the new Solicitor under the separate Commission,
sued out by a Mr. Wilson, the books, writiugs,
vouchers, and papers of Clarke, «•hick the Assig-
nees under the joint commission resisted, on* the

ground of Clarke being charged with having, on
his exaMination muter the-first and separate eon',
mission, conceited a sum of 60,000/. of the assets,
but which the Commissioner:, under the joint
commission had refused to examine him again
upon, tvhile the separate commission remained
unsoperseo-cd.
Air. WiLsolsr opposed the indulgence prayed on
the authority of decided cases, and the practice
of the Court,. The doctrine has been much dis-
cussed for years, and
.the practice variously inter-
preted by great Law Authorities.
The LORD CH.NCELLOR, after much considera-
tion of the complicated question, decided that the
sante SolicitOr in. town .could not work or get .
'costs for a separate and joint commission at one
and the saute time; although in country cases the
rule was not so strict : and although Lord Hard,
wicke„ on grounds difficult to conceive, had de-
cided that both commissilins might be worked at
the same time, the modern practice was other-
wise, and the separate commission good till su-
perseded. The Commissioners were right in re-
fusing to re-examine. The execution was sus-
-
pended fur a few days.

Enn.yrum.—The Earl of WEsTstuRLAND was erroneously
mentioned (instead of anotinsr Nobleman), as being con-
cerned in one of the cases brought 'Jcfore the Court yester-
day.

SURREY ASSIZES.

KINGSTON, AloND,tv, NlARcit 27.

Saturday was the Commission Day for this
County, Mr. Justice CHAMBRE and Mr. Baron
WOOD, the Judges in the Commission, arrived
hoe on Saturday afternoon, but did not proceed
to business until this-morning. Mr. Justice
CtiAmsnE sat on the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron
Wooi tried the prisoners. -

CIVIL SIDE.
SMART versus pa-AcE.

This was an action against the defendant, the
widow of a Colonel, by a stone-mason at Guild-
ford,. for making a tomb-stone for her late hus-
band.

Mr. MARRYATT, for the plaintiff, stated, that
the pi:61101f was a tradesinan at GniPdford, and
the Lady was the widow of a Colonel in the army,
who died at Guildford in the year 1-812.. .During
the 'first paroxysms of her grief, she wished to
spew her love and regard for her late husband, in
perpetuating the memory of her husband, -.by
erecting a tomb to his memory. The plaintiff
accordingly made a design, which he engaged to
finish for 30 or 351. The Lady furnished- an in-
scription which was to be inscribed, but it was
both badly written and badly spelt ; but, .as well
as he could make it out, it lv;.s as folroW

" Gont.! bat whither? bees he cease
" Now his body 'rots away.
" Was his soul a frtyile piece
" Of the same but finer day ?
c, Where's the ? Obtained release.
" That neer dies nor ever dies.
" While his bady sleeps in peace,
" Far away his spirit flies.
" He's to tiod to bear his doom !"

This epitaph the clergyman objected to, as doubt-
ing the immateriality of the soul, and would not
sufFer it to he inscribed. This produced some de-
lay, and at length the Lady thought the monu-
ment not necessary, for having gone to Ireland
and'returned,• she at last declared that she would
not Infve the tomb-stone at all. But the plaintiff
having completed it, except putting it up, and
though the Lady had changed her mind, it was
not to be expected that he should lose his labour;
and the Jury would say whether a, tradesman
should lose his labour, although the ardour of a
Lady's widowed affections had decreased by time.
The order and the making the tomb-stone was
p r o vtd
For the defendant, Mr. Serjeant BEST contend-
ed, that the tomb was ordered in 1812, and was
not finished its October 1814 ; and that, after so
unreasonable a delay, the Lady had a right- to
countermand the monument. With respect to
the objection of the Vicar, he said it was the
duty of the plairitiff to have communicated the
proposed inscription in the first instance, and not
to have waited for two years before he stated the
.objection: He called three witnesses, to chew
,that the defendant had male repeated applications.
to the plaintiff to proceed in the work, but he de-
layed it. They did not, however, prove ativ direct
countermand, and the Jhry found a verdict for
the plaintiff.—Damages, 311. 10s. . ' - - •

BOEINSON V. 13ENtiLTT.

This was au action for a nuisance.--The plain-
tiff had a -house on the banks of the Thames, near
Kingston, which had a lawn extending down to
the water. At the_ bottom of this lawn wps a
drain which came from • a distillery of sveet
waters.

Mr. Scrjeant 13EsT stated, that the whole of the
refuse water which passed by this drain was merely
the dregs of rose water, .and other odoriferous dis-
tillations, which gave au agreeable odour, and was
rather desirable than otherwise. The defendant
being possessed of an adjoining piece of ground,
built three or fOur small cottages, and also erected
certain appendages which are equally necessary for
cottages or palaces, and' turned the grains from
them into the old drain,; buOhey did nut convey
rose water. II) short, the counnodity they depo-
sited under the noses of the plaintiff's family was
such as to rendor his house a most uncomfortable
habitation.
