CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
CHAPLIN V. GARRICK.—CRIAPLEN U. CHAMBERS.
This case excited a good deal of attention in Court this
morning, on account of the interests involved, and the cir-
cumstances out of which it rose, They were these :—The
testatrix was married to Robert Reid in 1805, at Carlisle,
where they continued to live till the death of the husband.
Two children are still alive, the is3ue of this marriage, and
appeared by the plaintiff in the suit. In the year
1809, the widow went to Gretna Green, in Scotland,
and was married to James Reid, the brother of her deceased
husband, with whom she continued to live as her husband
up to the close of 1821, and had ten children by him, all
living, and defendants in the suit. In the month of No-
vember, 1821, the mother, then being pregnant with her
youngest child, made a will, devising property to the amount
of about 3,000/. to all her children, re-erving a beneficial in-
terest in it to her husband (James Reid) during his life; and
she died about five days after the date of the will, in child-
bed.

A snit under this will was instituted by the children
of the first marriage, who object against the claim of
the children of the second marriage, that that marriage being
solemnised in Scotland was void by Scotch law ; and that,
therefore, these ten children were illegitimate, an could not
sustain their claim at law.

The Master's report, among other findings, found that, by
the law of Scotland, the marriage of a widow with her de-
ceased husband's brother is void, and set forth the opinion
of the Lord Advocate, and other legal gentlemen of the
Scotch Bar.

Mr. Wigram, Q.C., and Mr. Faber, were heard for the de,
fendants on exceptions.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE• CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAS V. THE EARS OF bEVON.
-Mr. BitTiliaLL's reply in this case occupied the Court the
whole morning, and had not concluded when our evening
edition went to press.

QUEEN'S BENCH -(THIS DAY

IN RE WM. COBBETT.

The whole of the forenoon was occupied in the hearing of
an application from ➢ir. Wm. Cobbett, son of the late cele-
brated political writer, for an order to be discharged from
the custody in which he has been placed for some time,
arising out of certain proceedings in the Court of Chancery,
and an alleged contempt of that Court. When the Learned
Gentleman had finished his statement,
The COURT, after a few minutes' consultation, dismissed
the application, and he was remanded to the charge of the
officers who had brought him up.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDA V

Dining tne past week the arrivals of all descriptions of
grain of home produce, especially those of Wheat, Barley,
Beans, and Peas, have been on a very limited scale. From
Ireland and Scotland scarcely any Corn has come to hand;
while from abroad the receipts have been very scanty.
From Essex, Kent, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire the arrivals
of Wheat fresh up were trifling, consequently the show of
samples of that article was small. In the early part of the
morning holders were firm, and would not sell except at
somewhat higher rates. However, as these were not
submitted to by the dealers, whose attendance was tolerably
numerous, we can notice no alteration in the quotations ob-
tained on Monday last; yet the demand was very steady,
and previous rates were well supported in every instance.
The show of free foreign Wheat was trifling. Selected parcels
of both red and white moved off freely, at extreme figures ;
but the middling and interior kinds were much neglected.
In Wheat under lock so little was doing that prices were al-
most nominal. From all parts we continuo to receive most flatter-
ing accounts respecting the appearance of the grain crops.
Notwithstanding the show of Barley, both English and
foreign, was only limited, the Barley trade was in an in-
active state, yet last Monday's prices were supported in
most transactions. The show of Malt was fully adequate to
meet the wants of the dealers, who purchased very sparingly,
at late rates ; and a clearance was not effected. The arrivals
of Oats having been very small since our last report, the
number of samples was again trifling. Fine dry Corn was
quite as dear, but other qualities were neglected. The quart.
tity of Beans on offer was small ; nevertheless the demand
was inactive, at late rates. In Peas—the supply of which
was unusually small—very little was doing, at late rates.
The Flour trade was very dull, but prices were not lower.
