COURT OF CHANCERY, NOV.IO.
A TRIP TO GRETNA-G REEN.
WELLER V. WELLER.
Mr. ROUVELL stated, that this was a petition from the mo-
t/1et...0f the defendant, a young lady,- a wandof,Court, who had
departed for Gretna-green in company with a yoUng gentleman
of the name-of Crampton, without the knowledge or privity of
the plaintiff; or of either of the guardians. It was not that any
fOrmulable objection was taken against this alliance. The lady owns One third of an estate, as tenant in common,
which produced upwards of 9001. 'a 3,ear. ,The gentleman has
about 561. a year in real'estate, and '1,5001. in ready money.—
The petition therefore prayed that the Master should be di.
rected to ieport Separately--first, if the partiekwere lawfully
mauled, and, in thatevent, of a sufficient settlement of the
ward's property. The 'gentleman had, by letters written upon
the North road, signified his entire readiness to comply with
the wishes of the Court.
The Loan CitaNcEr.t.on observed; that the partiesought
to have known that this was a grad' contempt of the Court. He
wished the petitioner to state whit she knew of the matter of
courtship previously to the marriage.
Mr. ROUPELL said, that she admitted the intimacy of the
young gentleman with the family of the ward; and it.was ge-
nerally
allowed that he was of sufficient respectability to have
satisfied the Court, as the guardianS, had drey been regularly
applied to, would not have thought of refusing their consent.
Loup CHANCELLOR said, that the conaent of the Court
ought not to have been overlooked, the jurisdiction being more
deeply concerned than any of the parties seemed to suppose,-=-
The readiness of guardians to dispose of their wards did not
always satisfy the Court, because it was found that a young
lady's fortune would often have the e'en of softening their
opposition to a marriage of.wards to their own 5005. Nay,
there were' cases in winch guardians found no objection to a
marriage with themselvea,—ode instance Of which, as his Lord-
ship well remembered, had caused a guardian to appear in the
pillory. The husband must have a suhpcanit served upon him
on his arrival, to appear before the Chancellor, and give a more
satisfactor account of his conduct.—Ordered to attend the
Court on Monday next.

• • • lIALE V. HALE.
This was a question affecting the right to the reversion of a
fee simple depending from a deed executed:by the common an-
cestor, the justly-famed Sir Matthew Hale.
The pleadings now before the Court were in demurrer to a
bill filed for the discovery 'of the deeds against the tenant in
tail in possession.
• Mr. SuittnEx supported the demurrer, on the ground that the
plaintiff had not shown his pedigree, and that he had prayed
discovery anti entire relief—two objects which could not, ac-
cording urthe practice of the Court, be comprised in one and
the same bill. Another objection was, that the defendant had
enjoyed 20 years' adverse possession, !with receipt of rents,
without 'opposition from the plaintiff:
Mr. HEALD supported the bill, and observed, that the ob-
jection could only oust the bill in case• the petitioner could be
shown to have no title to any • portion of the relief prayed. It
was no objection to.say that he asked for full and final relief;
or that he was not entitled to all the relief asked. That the
claim was sound in some (levee, might be more safely interred
from the unanswered allegations on the file, that the defendant
had offered the petitioner a considerable sum of money to sur-
render up all his right and interest in the property. ' The bar
of 20 years' -adverse possession was removed by the peculiar
eirepmstances of the case, and the refusal of any Inspection of
the deeds, which were in the possession of the defendant.
The Lonb CuAxeLt.t.on affirmed the judgment of the
Vice:Chancellor, giving, however, leave to the plaintiff to move
for leAve to amend his bill, for which a month was allowed.
From the indisposition and absence of Mr. HA AT, who was
found to be engaged in other causes uon the paper, the Court
was induced to rise a little after one o'llock.

vremeridiNcur,mrs COURT, Nov. 10.
WEALL V. lllt'll.
Mr. ilannea stated the nature and the 'pleadings of this
case. A Mr.lircene, wlh'tsc daughter was about to be,married.
to Mr. lienry'Rice, entered into an agreement, and contracted
to settle, either by a T,onveyance in his life-time or by will, pro-
perty to the amount ot' :1,000/. as a marriae tion for his
daughter. The agreement stipulated that the money should be
settled on her tier her life, anti after her death to go to Mr. Rice
and the children of the marriage, on their attaining the age of
21. The sum of 3,0001. Was not settled by 3lr. Greene in his
life-time, but the interest was regularly paid by him to Mr.
Hive and his wife. Mr. Greene was new dead, and had' left a
will, in which, among other things, he devised an estate there.
in mentioned to trustees for the use of his daughter, Mrs. Rice,
during her life, with remainder to her husband during his life,
on condition that he should, out of the
,protits of the state, main-
tain and educate the Children of their
marriage; with remain.
der to the same children on their attaining the age of ; with
remainder to their ham, living at the latter period •; and with
remainder to the testator's right heirs. This devise,.
the Learn.
eel Counsel argued, was intended by the testator, and must be
considered by. the Court, to be a satisfaction 'and performance
of the covenant contained in the agreement..
~51r. Rice, how.; ever, had been'advised that he had a right to compel, the speei-
tic performance of the agreement, and had therefor* brought an
action against the executors. The executors,Toe the parpose of
defending themselves against the claim, had tiled a bill in Court:
to restrain 31r.'Rice'from proceeding with his action. To that
bill Mr. Rice demurred, and that demurrer was fur the decision
of the Court.
Mr. SUODEN appeared in support of the demurrer. Ile
contended that the. will of the testator was not intended to be a
perforimuice of the covenant. Ile argued that it could not be
a satisfaction, for that implied an intention on the pate of the
testater that his bequest should satisfy his covenant ; but no
such intention was apparent here. The Learned Counsel sup.
ported his arguments by the cases of Mathews v. Mathews,
.Faulkner v. k'Sulkner, and Haynes v. 3lycoe, Brown':
Report's.
° 31r. liartnuit was heard in reply.
The VICE•CITANCELLOIt said, that there were many cases
in books, besides those quoted respecting the circumstance of
difference, which the Court would call Slight. He should take
some time to look into those cases, and take an early opportu-
nity to give judgment.
WYNNE V. CALENDER.
'Mr. GIIIDLESTONE stated that the plaintiff applied for an
injunction to restrain the defendant and two otter persons,
named Fleming and Charity, from passing certain bills amt.
change, which he alleged were riven by him without receiving
any value, but merely as a gambling debt.
It appeared that an Impertinent allegation had crept Into the
bill, and leave was therefore given to amend it.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, Nov. 10.
MONEYPENNV V. ItAIiTI.ANUAND OTHERS.
This was an action by Mr. Moneypenny, an architect, against
the Committee for managing the erection of a bridge across the
Severn at llythe-hill, near Tewksbury, to recover compensa-
tion for his labour in making plans, specifications, and an esti-
mate. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice at West-
. minister, it appeared that the plaintiff' had not made sufficient
inquiries respecting the bed of the river, and accordingly his
estimate, being formed on eroneous principles, proved Made-
. There were also two technical objections
erY"flrst' that the Committee were not
by Act of Parliament ; and liable,se-
tqouhatis e to
sloatitlie ile elobrPirdeellgcevwas built
condly, that the plaintiff could not sue, as he was himself a
subscriber to the bridge. The Lord Chief Justice thought the
to
action could not be sustained, and the plaintiff* was nonsuitecl.
The A T T ORN E Y-0 N ER A L now moved for a rule to show
cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and a new trial
had. It was true that the estimate made by air. moneypenny
had turned out eroneoua, in consequence of a singlennstake ;
hist it did not follow that he had to receive no compensation
fbr his
,journies,. his plans, and his laborious services on the
spot, which he performed at the request of the Committee...-
The bridge had been built in the position which he recom-
mended ; and though the plan was afterwards changed by the
by the recommendation of Telford, the civil engineer, he
was not thereby deprived of his claim to recotnpense. -
The Co o lir, though inclining to think the technical objec-
tions good, refused the rule on the point raised on the merits.
It was highly important to the public, that gentlemen of Mr.
Moneypenny's profession should know, that when they are
employed to make an estimate, they must use reasonable dili-
gence to ascertain the real amount of expellee to be incurred,
9r they will be recluded from recovering any damages in a
court of law. They were not to select particular parts of their
work, and insist on compensation for those, when, in the gene-'
rid result, their exertions were mischievous or fruitless. In
this instance, if the Attorney-General had desired it, this

This was an action for verbal slander, tried before Mr. Ba.
ron Bullock, at Lancaster, when the plaintiff had a verdict with
20/. damages. The words proved were—" You are a rascal.--
a scamp. I have taken from you try work myself, and have
prevented you from having many hundred warps to size frmu
other manufacturers, which you would haite had, but for tity
persuading them not to employ you."
Mr. Serjeant Cross now moved for a rule to show cause why
the judgment should not be arrested, on the ground that the
words were not sufficient to sustain the action.—The COURT
granted the rule.
MILLEN v. SPRINGFELLOW AND WIFE.
ThiS action was brought to recover damages for malicious
mischief to a picture. The case was tried before Mr. Justice
Burrough, at Chelmsford, when the Jury found a verdict for
the defendant.'
Mr. Apo r.pin us now moved for a new trial, on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to evidence, and the direction of
the Learned Judge.' The case was proved by a servant of the
plaintiff, who left the defendants in the room where the picture
was, and who found it defaced shortly •after their departure.
The Learned Judge told the jury, that if they believed this
witneits, on whom there was no imputation, they must find a
verdict for the plaintiff, and ought not to confine their damages
to the cost price of the picture, as it probably was rated at a
higher value by its owners. Notwithstanding this direction
the jury found a verdict for the defendants.
The Coups' understanding that the value of the picture was
under 201., said the case came within their general rule, and
refused to disturb the verdict. The rule was founded in mercy
to parties who would have to pay the costs of the first trial, and
thus would pay very dearly for the chance of a Second, in which
they might also fail. They could not, therefore, interfere with
the verdicrof thejury.
THE XING V. RUSSELL AND OTIIEII9.
This was an indictment for a nuisance in building gears in
the river Tyne. The case was removed from Northumberland
to Yorkshire' on a suggestion that a fair and impartial trial
could not be had in the former county. At the trial it appeared
that the defendants, who occupied extensive coal-wharfs on the
aide of the river, had erected two gears on its bed for shooting
coals into the vessels in a more adventageous manner. The
gears were buildings of wood and iron, 36 feet in bredth, about
the same height, and projecting 191 feet into the river—about
one-eighth of its bed. Several witnesses proved that inconve.
niences to craft navigating the river arose from these buildings.
The Learned Judge, Mr. Justice Bayley, however, left the
case to the Jury on the questions whether a public benefit was
derived from the Mode of shooting the coal? and whether a
public benefit' outweighed the public inconvenience proved ?,
The jury found A verdict for the defendants, upon an agree-
!tient, that if the direction of the lettrned Judge should be
found erroneous in point of law, a verdict should be entered
for the Crown.

Mr. Buoutatrast moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict. should not be entered for the Crown, chiefly on the
ground that the improved mode of shooting the coals was not a
public, but a private benefit, and conseqiently could not'bc set
against the inconvenience sufferetiby the!public. The defend-
ants, by this *means, were enabled to sell coals better; but it was
more probable they would sell them dearer than cheaper; and
thus the direct advantage would be entirely their own. They
were not bound to sell at all, and mightlix their own price:
Now, suppose a publie4iouse built across a public way, that
would be much more a public benefit, because the inn-keeper
would be obliged to entertain all who applied •at reasonable
hours, and yet surely that would be a public nuisance.
The Cott n'ic granted a rule to show cause.
THE KIXO V. THOMAS 1117011E9.
This was an indictment against the defendant for perjury,
which was tried before Mr. Justice Burrough at the last assizes
for Guildford. The defendant, in 1022, prosecuted two persons
named Chandler and Bamford, for stealing lead from a house
which be occupied, in the vicinity'of Guildford. On that trial
he swore that lie saw the two prisoners at his house on the night
of the robbery,'When they were ObseiVed by a watchman, named
Sugar, and cursed him for discovering them. The men were
acquitted, and afterwards preferred the present indittment, in
which perjury was assigned on the defendant's testimony. at the
preceding trial. The case for the prosecution was principally
sustained by the evidence of the two men and 'Chandler's
uncle, and was met by the evidence of the watchman, who
swore the men were on the premises. The Jiiry returned ti
verdict of guilty.
.Mr..llitoburcst now moved for a rule to shew cause why a
new trial should not be had, on the ground that the verdict was
contrary to the weight of evidence. The bearned Judge told
the Jury, if they believed the watchman, the defendant wasen-
titled to an acquittal. lie had also affidavits, tending to show
that the case ought to undergo a second inquiry.—The COUILT
granted a rule to show' cause.

COURT OF COAIAION PLEAS, Nov. 10.
( Sitting: in Raman.)
DOCTOR v. sisrATys.

This was an action for an assault, tried trt the last Guildford
Aasises, before Mr. Baron Graham. The plaintiff supported
her case by the evidence of her two daughters and two women
named Saunders and Bell. There was a great deal of contrary
gross
side
perjury tliey wotagive'credit,
at one side or the
swearing' on the other side, and the- Learned 'Judge who tried
Wwhgric
other. he Jury, after deliberating for some tiene(after a trial
observing, itleft it t o the Jury
et o
must sa y be
of five hours), gave a verdict for the plaintiff; damages one
shilling.
Mr: Sergeant TAM'S% for the defendant, now moved for a
rule to phew cause why the verdict should not be act aside, and
a new triatgranted. The ground on which he rested this mo-
tion was, that the defendant was taken quite by surprise by a
part of the evidence produced for the plaintiff; which he was
not able to answer at the time, but which he was now able to
contradict in the most satisfactory manner. Part of his affida-
vita were now read, from which it appeared, that-the witnesses
Saunders and Bell were not present at the transaction, and that
Saunders herself admitted to a Mrs. Merry, that neither she
nor the witness Bell bad been present, but that she was deter-
mined to go and swear it, in order to "bring Mrs. Doctor
through, atut to get the better of .the 'defendant." Mr. Ser.
geant 'faddy admitted, that the application was against the
general principle which the Court laid down to itsdf in such
cases, but he rested upon the peculiar circumstances of this
case ; and he submitted, that they were such as to justify hint
in calling for the rule. It was true the verdict was for merely
a nominal sum ; but it carried costs in the action ; and inde-
pendently of any pecuniary consideration, the defendant was
anxious to remove front his character an imputation which he
contended had been most unjustly, and by means of gross per-
jury, cast upon it.'
• Lord Chief Justice BEST said that, however small the da-
mages, undoubtedly it would be a great hardship on a defend-
ant to have a verdict, obtained against hint by means of gross
perjury ; lint the 'Court'could not go into that ground now.
As to the ground of surprise, it would be a good one for dis-
turbing the verdict, if it were satisfactorily made out; but the
Court saw nothing in the circumstances before them which
could have prevented the parties who now made affidavit from
appearing at the trial, and stating there what they new
swore. Under these circumstances, they would not disturb
the verdict. _ _

The other Judges concurred in this opinion.—Rule refused.

• Min'REAb:lt V. BLOOM.
This was an action for an assault, tried at the last Norwich
assizes before the liord'Chief Baron. The declaration contain.
ed two coonts,:complaining of the defendant for assaulting and
turning the plaintiff out of a pew, which she alleged to' be her
property. To this the defendant entered five different pleas :
ffrst, the general issue; the second and third, son assault dc.
mem* the fourth, that the plaintiff had improperly entered his

- -
pew, and that he merely molfiter znpnvizit mantis to turn her out ; and in the last plea was stated that the pew belonged io
the defendant, and that the plaintiff enteted it Without any right
or authority. The Jury brought in a general verdict ofguilty,
and gave one shilling damages. It afterwards appeared that
issue had been joined only an the first plea &general- issue but
.although replications had been put in to the other plias, WI
• iimilariters had been added, so as to bring them fully to issue ;
um/ it was now contended that the verdict was irreatilar, as
being given on all the pleadings.

onEic Loasr.--,liewiTra V. HENDRIK&
Mr. Sergeant tr. moved for a rule to have the verdict in
this case Set aside. It was a 'case which, his Lordship (the
Chief Justice) would recollect, related to an endeaYour to rake a loan for the Greeks.
The Loup CitrEr JurrtcE.—Yes,. I remember; and I re-
collect that when the case was tried before me, I w &opinion
that the plaintiff ought to he nonsuited on this isoita-as ...that it is
illegal in the subjects of this country to make a loan to the sub-
jects of any other who are contending against their Sovereignt—
that Sovereign being in amity •with out Government. My brother, Wildc, however, who was in the other case (one ariti.
ing out of the same circumstances, in which the jury gave in
verdict for the plaintiff—the illegality of the transaction on this
point not having been set up as a defence), did not think fit to
take up that point.
Mr. Sergeant PELL said, that the principle on which the two
cases rested was the same ; though in the present case the ver.
diet was for the defendant. The learned Serjcant then proceed-
ed to state the circumstances out of which the action arose. It
was, he observed, an action brought to recover certain powers of
attorney and other documents which had been placed in the
hands of the defendant. The.plaintifftit appeared, came to this
country for the purpose of raising certain sums of money for
the service of the Greeks, he donning to have received autho-
rity from them for that purpose. hie applied, through a Mr.
Comtes, to defendant, to assist him in this object. The de-
fendant expressed his readiness to do so, but required that sonic
security should be left with him. Mr. Comtes deposited certain
Spanish bonds, and the plaintiff, on his part, left the instru.
ments which lie sought to recover by the present action, consist-
ing of documents purporting to be warrants of attorney from the
Greek Government authorizing him to raise the money. The
.loan, however was not raised, and the business ultimately fell
to the ground.' Soon after, Mr. (Antes applied for the return
of his Spanish bonds, the plaintiff also applied for his
warrants &attorney and certain engravings of scripts. What-
might be the intrinsic value of the other documents, the Spa- '
nish Bonds at least were saleable securities. The defendant re-
fused to delivertlem up. It is true that they were not worth
as much as they were originally expected to produce, as he
feared many persons had found to their cost.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—The Jury (in the case of
" Countess v. Ilendriks") seemed to be of the same opinion, as
they gave a verdict for no more than CIO/. for a bond for tl,OOO/.
Air. Sergeant PELT, observed, that they had risen since, and
were likely to rise higher if the promises held ont be
kept. The defendant, as lie before observed, refused to deliver
up the documents in his possession, until the expences to which
he had been put were paid him. These expences were offered,
but lie still refused until he was paid u commission on 6,0501.
scrip, which it was intended to raise, but which scrip, in fact,
never came into the market. The question on the first trial
(Collates' case) was, whether, under all the circumstances,
Countes had if right to recover. The verdict of the Jury was in
his favour ibr fill he claimed, deducting the expences of :de-
fendant. On the trial of the present ease, however, the defence
set up was, that the whole was a fraud, and that plaintiff bad
in fact no authority from the Greek Government. What bad
fallen froM the CluefJustice on that occasion was strongly stated
to the Jury, who founded their verdict on the point. Now he
contended that this defence, if good: at all, ought to have been
set tip' in the other case.
The Lout). Cum.? JUSTICE observed, that Mr. Sergeant
Wilde did-nOt seem to have had all his tackle about him at
that time., '''"i tr
111 r. Sergeant-Cc% Lnit said, that he got rom Its Lordship,
and was happy to avail himself of the assistance of the COII4IHI
the occasion.

•
Air. Sergeant PELL submitted, that supposing this to be a
loan in aid of the struggling Greeks, even though founded on
insufficient authority, Null there was 1..0r -rinciple which could
prevent the plaintiff from recoveri4c4P•4 documents Ire had
lepOsited, even admitting that thitylliVere trot intrinsically va-
luable.

Mr. Justice PARK (as we understood him) asked, " Sup-
pose money had been lent to carry on rebellion in this country
againSt the lawful Sovereign, could that be recovered by law ?
The LnutoiCitiEF JusTicE said, he hail left the whole
case to the Jury. to be decided on its merits, and they found,
verdict quite to his satisfaction. lie had left it to them to
,say
whether the instruments were not fabricated. The instruments
were in modern Greek, and there was no person present to trans.
late them, or to prove what they were. lie read the whole, of
the evidence (his Lordship here went over it again). it appear-
ed (his Lordship continued) that the whole plan of the loafsrtll
to the ground, because it was believed that the Instrumentsvitie
fraudulent.' It was proved, too, that the signature of the .fix-
arch was not made in London, but in Greece, and there vOts a
'doubt even as to the anthenticit3r of that.
Mr. Serjeant PELT. submitted that whether the loan was
genuine or not, it made no difference in the plaintiff's' right to
recover, the instruments which were of value. Some of them
were on stamps, on the return of which to the Stamp-office en
allowance would be made to s bn. There was, he contended,
nothing to substantiate the statement of frautt'whieh had been
so strongly made by the Lord Chief Justice., Besides, the
plaintiff was liable to Cowes for the amount deducted from his
claim for flendrik's bill, anti there could be no doubt of his
(Comte?) right to recover. •
The Lahr) CIIIEF JUSTICE.—I am dearly of opinion that
the whole was a. fraud. The jury so found it, and Ido not
know how to separate any one part of the Cate from the other,
or see that any one part of the case is more free titan the other
from the imputation of fraud.

The othei.ludges concurred in this opinion, and the applica-
tion was refused.

with a substance which was a conductor of electrictv(rt.ogs
