CHANCERY_(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's
Inn, to-day, and heard original causes.
WATTS v. HYDE.
This case, which has been before several branches of
the Court, and this being the next, came before his Lord-
ship to-day for hearing
upon the original cause. We
have before given the facts at length upon applications
for leave to amend, and upon the appeal from the deci-
sion on those applications. The case made of the bill
was, that the plaintiff, Mr. Alaric Watts, who is a lite-
rary gentleman, being in embarrassed circumstances,
and executed a deed of com-
pnotseitrieodb, into
bound himself to pay to his cre-
eby a
be
ioemb
w compromise, ra se ,
cre-
ditors a sum of 1,5004 in discharge of their demand
against him, to be divided into three payments of 5001.
each, with a covenant on the part of the plaintiff to in-
sure his life, the deed to be void in the event of a failure
in the regular payment of the insurance. The defendant,
who was the solicitor of the plaintiff, claimed, on the
score of a private agreement, to have his debt paid in
full, notwithstanding that he signed the deed of compro-
mise. The defendant brought an action for his debt,
and it was held by the Court of Exchequer that the
deed of composition was nullified in consequence of the
insurance not being paid according to the covenant.
The bill set up these equities, and prayed
.that the deed
might be declared to be binding on the defendant, not-
withstanding the non-insurance, or in the alternative
that an account might he taken of the amount of the
defendant's debt.

The arguments occupied the Court the whole morning•

Against Ernest C. Jones there is one indictment, con-
taining three counts, in which he is charged with" sedi-
tious speaking," " unlawful assembly," and" riot," at the
Chartist meeting held at Bishop Bonner's-fields, Beth-
nal-green, on the 4th ofJuue last. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins
and Mr. Clarkson are the counsel engaged in his behalf.
Joseph I. J. Fussell, in one indictment, containing eight
counts, is charged, in six, for seditious speaking; in one,
for unlawful assembly, and in one for riot at the Clerken-
well-green meeting of the Chartists on the 29th of May

ston, will appear to defend him. Alexander Sharpe is
charged, in an indictment of four counts, for sedition,
unlawful assembly, and riot, at the meeting on Clerken-
well-green, on the 26th of May, and, in another indict-
ment, of five counts, of committing similar offences at

Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Robinson are the counsel

there are three indictments, one, of two counts, charging
him (conjointly with W. J. Vernon) for an unlawful
assembly and riot on the 29th of May last, at Clerkell-
well, and the other two (ot four counts each) with sedi-
tious speaking (in addition to unlawful assembly and
riot) at meetings held on Clerkenwell-green, on the 25th
and 26th of May last. Mr. Sergeant Allen, assisted by
Mr. Ballantyne and Mr. Walter Morgan, will appear for
J. Williams.

The Havre advices received yesterday state that the
Chamber of Commerce had petitioned the Minister of
Commerce to grant certain concessions, in order to re-
store trade to a healthy position. The Chamber requests
a general reduction of one-half of the tariff dues; the
free admission of the articles enumerated in schedule A
of the project of law presented on the 31st of last March,
under the conditions therein stated for regulating their
import; a reduction of the duties upon native and fo-
reign sugars of the second and inferior qualities to 20
francs the 100 kilogrammes, without distinction of mode
of manufacture, and on French colonial sugars to 9
francs per 100 kilogrammes; the suppression of the du-
ties upon cotton wool; and the temporary admission of
foreign iron for the construction of machinery. If these
concessions were acceded to, the Chamber was of opinion
that the French shipping interest would, in the first in-
stance, be greatly benefited, and after wards manufactures
in ger.erd. The commerce of the Republic requires
some such extensive measures, in order to relieve it from
its present depressed and languid state.
