LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, 1V: v. 18.
THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMHERST.
The arguments in this case, which were commenced
yesterday, were resumed to-day. The case came be-
fore the court upon an appeal, and also a petition of re-
hearing of the decree of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor
of England, decreeing an account against the executors
of the late Duke of Leeds, for an alleged waste in the
pulling down of the old family mansion of Kiveton Hall,
in Yorkshire, cutting down the timber in the park con-
nected with the mansion, and converting the whole, con-
sisting of about 500 acres, into a farm. The bill
was filed by the present Duke of Leeds, who attained
his majority in 1819, against the executors of his father,
the late Duke, for the purpose of recovering from them,
as the representative of the estate of the late Duke, the
amount received for the materials of Kiveton Hall, and
also for the timber that had been cut down in the park,
which, it was alleged, exceeded the sum of 20,0001. It
appeared, according to the statements of the counsel
of the present Duke, that Kiveton Hall had
been the family mansion in Yorkshire for
centuries, of the head of the Dueal house of Leeds, and
had continued to be so until by marriage with the
family of the Earl of Holderness, Hornby Castle came
into possession of the Leeds family. Kiveton Hall being,
as it was alleged by the executors of the late Duke of
Leeds, in a state of great dilapidation and decay, his
Grace bad it rased to the ground, the trees in the park
cut down, and the whole estate turned into a farm,
which now brought in upwards of 7001. a year. The
adoption of this course, it was contended on behalf of
the present Duke, was an act of waste which the late
Duke had no right to commit, and the present bill was
filed to compel the late Duke's executors to account for
the moneys received in consequence of that waste. His
Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, on the case
coming before him, decreed an account; and from that
decision the present appeal and petition of rehearing
were brought.
Mr. Stuart, Mr. J. Parker, and Mr. L. Russell were
Counsel for the appellant, and Mr. Bethell and Mr.
Lloyd supported the decision of the Court below.
The case stands over for Mr. Bethell's reply, that
Learned Gentleman having intimated to his Lordship
that a messenger had just arrived to inform him that a
member of his family had been taken dangerously ill.
The other appeals in his Lordship's paper were
totally devoid of any interest, except to the parties
concerned.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
TIMES.—The last advices received from America
confirm the impression that was made upon our minds
some weeks ago. Combined with the accounts which
are almost daily arriving from different parts of Europe,
and our own provincial markets, they remove the f
ex-
treme alarm which once prevailed, lest the supply
for
the during the ensuing year should be insufficiei4or
the wants of this country. This supply may, indeed,th
fall below that of our more abundant seasons, but there
seems no reason for supposing that its con_treatctionwbe sensibly or universally felt. In every k
through-
out the kingdom prices have been receding,a in obedience
to the only law which can influence them —the law of
supply and demand. Indeed, at the present moment
there is far less cause for apprehending that we are on
the eve of a general dearth, than that the English far-
mers, finding themselves jostling together thus early in
the excitement of an unwonted competition, may crowd
their produce prematurely into the market, and thus
deprive themselves of the advantage which a more
politic reservation would insure to them through-
out the year. It is the interest no less of
this public than of the producer that the available supply
of grain should be diffused as equally as possible through
the twelvemonth, and that buyers should not have to
compensate the cheapness of December or January by
an extravagant dearness in July or August. We shall
of course be well pleased to find the present prices
ruling till the summer; and there seems little reason for
supposing that they will hereafter exceed this amount,
unless they are now reduced below their proper standard
by the agitation of real or pretended alarm. Notwith-
standing the quantities of wheat and flour imported from
the United States, we learn from correspondents of
knowledge and judgment, including the " Genevese
Traveller," that there still remains behind a considerable
proportion ready for exportation. That there is little
cause to fear the effect of high prices on the other side
of the Atlantic, or of a 4s. duty on this, may be inferred
from the fact that, though on the arrival of the last
steamer flour rose from 50 to 75 cents. per barrel, yet it
soon afterwards sunk 30 cents. A depreciation of
this kind has only one solution—abundance. And we
are confident that although the corn harvests of the
United States might be insufficient to repair the cala-
mity of a general European dearth, yet that, with the
present amount of our home-grown produce, England
can derive more than she absolutely wants, or is likely
to want this year, from the western states of North
America. That this consummation is very far opposed
to that which we once anticipated, we readily admit.
But if we plead guilty to the charge of having conceived
unreasonable fears or uttered false predictions, we may
likewise claim the merit of having in some degree
brought about the falsification of our apprehensions.
For we believe that it is in part owing to the
representations which we ourselves put forth, in
accordance with fears unfounded, indeed, but at the
time very general, that we may attribute the extra-
ordinary efforts recently made to transmit grain from
the interior of North America to the coast. And to
these representations also is in some measure owing
the stimulus recently given to the shipping employed
in the European corn trade. Consequences like
these more than atone for the precedent error, and,
to our minds, outweigh a thousand sneers about in-
consistency and vacillation. Two facts should be con-
tinually borne in mind. The most curious phenomenon
of the present deficiency is, that it is a deficiency of the
coarser grains. Wheat is comparatively plentiful in
England, and more than usually good. It is of the com-
moner and coarser kinds of food that the yield has either
been unhealthy or insufficient. The same analogy holds
with respect to France. This is the first fact. The
second is, that Ireland, rather than England, is affected
by the dearth. This is only a consequence of the pre-
ceding proposition. The poor crops that have failed are
the Irish food. Had there been no Ireland at all, we
should never have heard of famine in England. The
price of wheat might have risen in consequence of
exportations to other parts of Europe. But it has
risen through the natural reaction of conti-
guous misery upon comparative competence. One
part of a nation cannot suffer severely without affect-
ing the other partially. One kind of sustenance
cannot become dear or scarce without raising, though
not to the same extent, the price of another. And this
dearness will continue, and finally be aggravated, until a
substitute be found for that species of food which is n
rn-
porarily lost. England apprehended the famine which
Ireland suffered. Wheat grew dear because potatoes
had become so. The Indian corn, which is the only
available substitute for the potato, was at first so par-
tially and scantily supplied as to have become in Ireland
dearer than wheat itself. Hence the reaction on our
markets in this country. But the worst features of the
crisis have changed for the better. The influx of Indian
corn has of late been very considerable. A great re-
duction in its price may, therefore, be calculated on; and
this can be effected without loss to the importer, as the
price may fall very much below its recent height, and
yet leave a profit to the seller. Nor shall we fail to per-
ceive the effects of this change in England. As long as
the price of Indian corn was so high and seemed
likely to continue so high in Ireland, there was
an appearance of harshness in keeping up the
duty on foreign wheat. It was only an appear-
ance. The abolition of the duty would nct have
brought food to the mouths of a dozen Irish families.
Still it looked hard; and persons of soft hearts and not
very logical heads were very indignant at the notion of
paying a duty of 4s_ on wheat in England, while their
fellow-subjects were starving on untaxed meal in Ireland.
But now there is, we hope, an end even to the pretext
for such indignation. The Irishman is likely to obtain
his substitute for potatoes cheaper than heretofore, even
if he do not save a remnant from the supposed failure of
his usual crop. And we hope that he is also beginning
to earn the price of his daily food. He has been too
long indulging the delusive theory that, in periods of
scarcity, a Government is bound to complicate its other
embarrassments by giving a multitude of people wages
for doing nothing. This is a most fatal error—more
fatal to the donees than the donors of such gratuitous
stipend. But the recent measures of the Lord-Lieu-
tenant, and the more general disposition of the peasantry
to engage in task-work, give earnest of a most desirable
improvement both in their habits and their condition.
And we see no reason why—if Indian corn does not
again become too dear, and the present rate of wages
continues—this year of dearth should not be an era of
new prosperity to every man in Ireland.
CHRONICLE.— Our contemporary, the Morning
Post, edified its readers yesterday with a very minute
description of the dissensions by which, according to its
representation, the present Ministry is distracted. Our
contemporary's remarks evince a degree of good nature
towards a portion of the Cabinet, and indeed a kind of
approbation of it as a whole, which may obtain a certain
amount of attention for its disclosures. The Post com-
mences its exposition of the most minute and secret
details of Cabinet discussion by expressing its ignorance
of " how such circumstances transpire ;" and certainly
it is not very easy to conceive how such circumstances
should transpire, seeing that the information, if correct,
must proceed from parties sworn not to disclose it.
The Post, however, declares it to be certain that " in
quarters not likely to be misinformed, and among per-
sons not likely to be the dupes of mere conjecture, a
conviction exists that the present Ministry is split into
oppositg sections, and that there is scarcely any one
subject upon which a cordial unanimity of sentiment
exists." We can likewise declare, with at least as
much assurance as our contemporary, " that in quar-
ters not likely to be misinformed, and among persons
not likely to be the dupes of mere conjecture, a convic-
tion exists"—that there is no truth, or semblance of
truth, in the statement which he has so positively and
circumstantially put forth. The Post, or its informant,
in the exercise of a lively imagination, has conjured up
visions of sharp and incessant contentions between the
two Noble Lords who fill respectively the offices of Fo-
reign and Colonial Secretary. Such visions, we believe,
have not the slightest foundation of fact to support them.
We have no fear of being considered the " dupes of mere
conjecture" in concluding that when public men of
character have so far put an end to former disagree-
ments as to sit in Cabinet together, they must have
banished from their minds all such wretched feelings of
rivalry as those which the Post describes as in active
existence. We have no hesitation in stating it to be
oar entire conviction that such rivalries and dissensions
as the Morning Post describes do not exist, and have not
existed amongst Ministers since the formation of the
present Government. The Post, however, has this ex-
cuse for its mistake, that the Peel Cabinet, of which it
was once a cordial supporter, was divided and ultimately
destroyed by internal dissensions. After the lamentable
experience of that Administration, we cannot wonder
that the spectre of a disunited Government should now
haunt the imagination of our contemporary. As far as
our knowledge goes, however, we can offer him the con-
solation of which he is evidently desirous. Let him, by
all means, banish his apprehensions, for there is not the
slightest reason for believing that there is, or has been,
any thing in the discussions of the Cabinet in the least
degree inconsistent with its being, as our contemporary
wishes to see it, " firm, united, and vigorous."

BOLLS' COURT, Nov. 18.
HOPKINSON V. ELLIS.

Mr. Sergeant Jones was heard against the demurrer,
and Mr. Sergeant Channel for the plaintiff.
The argument turned on the cun,truction of tle
Bankruptcy Act, and whether or not the amended
statute Bth and 9th Victoria was retrospective in its
operation.
The CounT held that the statute Bth and 9th Victoria
was not retrospective, and that defendant's plea was bad
in this respect ; also that the plea was detective in not
setting forth whether the defendant had received his dis-
charge from the Bankruptcy Court at the time when
the action was brought. Judgment therefore was given
for the plaintiff.
(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL).
BARKER V. KEMP—NORTH-WESTERN TRUNK RAILWAY.
This was an action, brought by Mr. Charles Barker,
the advertising agent, to recover the sum of 4031. 7s.
from Thomas Reginald Kemp, one of the provisional di-
rectors of the North-Western Trunk Railway Company,
for inserting the advertisements of the said company in
various London and local newspapers, between the Ist of
October, 1845, and the 30th of November in the same
year. The defendant pleaded not indebted, and that he
was not an acting member of the committee when the al-
ledg,ed debt was contracted.
Mr. James and Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff ;
Mr. Knowles for the defence.
Mr. JAMES, having opened the case, going over the
particulars he intended to prove, the substance of which
we have already given, proceeded to call his witnesses.
Mr. Gorbett, the solicitor of the company, was the first
witness called, and deposed that Mr. Kemp had attended
several meetings of provisional directors. On one occa-
sion, when Mr. Barker received orders to insert the
advertisements in the several newspapers Mr. Kemp
was present, but witness could not say that he heard the
latter give orders for the same. It was, however, given
by some one at the time.
In cross-examination the witness deposed that the
managing committee passed a resolution, by which it
was agreed that the solicitors who projected the line,
Messrs. Gorbett, Brown, Stanley, and Miller, should
bear all the expenses up till a period of ten days posterior
to the last day named in the letters of allotment for
paying the deposits on shares, and that then the said
solicitors should sign all interest in the company, in
consideration of receiving 3,500 shares free of the first
deposit, in such a manner as the allotment committee
might determine. If oh the tenth day named the ma-
naging committee decided to go on, 2,5001. was to be
paid down to the solicitors, such sum to be deducted
from the deposits, but if the company was broken up,
then the managing committee should pay them back
all the expenses they had been at. The managing com-
mittee subsequently refused to allot the shares, and the

This was a case in which the defendants, who wero next
of kin to Sir J. Ellis, late of Cholderton Lodge, near
Andover, raised a question as to his will with the plain-
tiffs, who are his heirs-at-law, respecting the distribu-
tion of the assets.
It appeared that the testator had bequeathed various
sums of money to different charities in the metropolis,
and, in the event of there being a residue of his personal
estate, it was to be distributed in certain ways de-
scribed in the will, among which were donations
to certain charities. The execution of the specific in-
tention of the testator being against the statute of mort-
main, it was sought to apply that rule of law.
Mr. Kindersley appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr.
Turner for the defendands.
His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, said, this was
one of those cases in which it was sought to apply the
rule of law to a case in which the statute of mortraain
interposed. The testator intended to dispose of the
whole of his estates as well as the residue of his property,
and he stated in his will the uses to which he desired
the same to be applied. He also gave authority to his
trustees to pay any residue to any of the charities they
might select as most deserving of relief. As the first
means to effect these objects, he desired the whole
of his personal estates to be converted into money ;
he then directed how it was to be managed, and
how it was to be applied, using in his will
expressions which at times applied to real, and at
others to personal estates. From these expressions in
the will, he (Lord Langdale) could not get over the im-
pression that the testator intended that there should be
a common fund for the payment of his legacies. He
must, therefore, consider this as a mixed fund, and this
being the case, the application of it was clear. Those
portions of the funds which arose from the sale of the
personal estate, to be applied fur charitable purposes,
could not be so applied, and consequently went to the
next of kin. Then the question arose as to the real
estate ; it might certainly be converted into personal
estate. It was also clear that the testator had no other
intentions than those in the terms of his will, and, there-
fore, he had no doubt upon the point, that the next of
kin had no right to any part of the real estate.

company did not do on.
James Stevens, the secretary of the company, gave
evidence that he had, from time to time, by the instruc-
tions of the committee, ordered Mr. Barker to get the
advertisements inserted in the newspapers. The orders
emanated generally from the committee, but he could
not say that any one gave orders. His authority was
the resolutions passed by the committee, and inserted in
the minute-book.
In cross-examination, he stated he believed the in-
structions of the committee were generally given by the
Rev. Mr. Lister, the chairman of both the provisional
and managing committees, but they were given in the

name of the board.
George Street, clerk to Mr. Barker, proved that writ-
ten and verbal orders had been received from Mr. Ste-
vens to insert the various advertisements in the news-
papers, and that he had seen the greater part of the
money paid.
A t this stage of the proceedings the Court was about
to adjourn the case till to-morrow, in order that witness
might prepare a detailed account, when
Mr. KNOWLES said that, as it appeared, from some ob-
servations that had fallen from his Lordship, that he
thought there was a case to go to the jury, and as the
object of the plaintiff was only to recover from the de-
fendant a moiety of the account due by the provisional
directors generally, he would therefore consent to a

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 18.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
TERRY V. WACHER.
The opening of the pleadings in this cause occupied
his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England the whole
morning.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 18.
THE QUEEN V. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN.
This was an appeal against an order of two justices of
the county of Middlesex, making a woman and her
children chargeable on the parish of St. Paul's-Covent
garden, on the ground that she was not an inhabitant
under the provisions of Acts of Parliament relating to
the settlement and chargeability of the poor.
Mr. PASIILEY appeared in support of the appeal. The
word " inhabitant" was susceptible of various interpreta-
tions—it was almost impossible to specify its various
sianifications.
t'Mr. Justice EnLE said most words in the English
language had more meaning than one. Words must
be taken in their obvious and general sense.
Mr. PASHLEY said, what was sufficient to constitute an
inhabitant in one case might have a directly contrary
signification in another. A person might walk over a
piece of land in a parish and declare himself an inhabi-
tant ; another might meet with an accident, and become
involuntarily an inhabitant, but the intention to settle
the animus morandi must be clearly made out. In this
case the allegation was, that the "woman intruded and
came into the parish, and had thereby become actually
chargeable," but there was nothing to show that she
came within the definition of an inhabitant, and he,
therefore, held that the order on the face of it was bad,
and that that the justices had exceeded their jurisdie-
diction. He trusted the Court would make the rule
absolute. _ _ _

verdict to that amount.
A verdict was then, by order, given for the plaintiff,
for 651., being the proportion of the 4031. owing by the
defendant, iu conjunction with other provisional di-
rectors, against whom actions were pending.

SUICIDE AT THE CHAIN PIER, BRIGHTON.—On
Monday evening, at dusk, a neatly-dressed
woman was
seen walking about the promenade at the pier-head, in a
manner to excite some notice ; but as her demeanour
afterwards became somewhat calm, that notice was not
long continued. Half an hour later she was discovered
by a son of Mr. C. Cooper, clerk to the Pier Company,
outside the rails, her back towards the town, and holding
by the rails with her hands, which were placed behind
her. Imagining from her position that she was preparing
to drown herself, Mr. Cooper crept stealthily to the spot,
and was in the act of seizing her clothes, when she sprang
into the water. The alarm bell was immediately rung,
the lifeboat was lowered, and search was mule for the
body with drags for several hours, but w4hout success.
In the morning it was found on the beach, near the
Albion Hotel, and conveyed to the Town-hall. When
first seen, the deceased had a small basket, which, with
her bonnet and a handkerchief, she placed on a seat on
the
pier before leaping into the water. Her age is judged
at about 24 - and her dress resembles that of a servant,
but is very neat She is not known; and neither in the
basket nor in herpockets was anything found by which
information as to r identity could be gleaned.

ponent was fouled by him, and accordingly gave up the
race. The umpires and referee immediately returned to
Newcastle, and, after a good deal of wrangling, decided
in favour of Clasper, to whom the stakes were paid.

Lord DENMAN said, most of the points urged by the
Learned Counsel were too trivial for the consideration
of the Court. The question of " inhabiting" was, how-
ever, one of importance, and the Court would consider it.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, 1846

of the value of 41., the property of Thomas Ashley, of
No. 3, Berton-place, Ball's-pond, Islington.
Tho prisoner's family, raid that of the prosecutor's,
had been on terms of close intimacy, and on Sunday hot,
during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Ashley from home,
the prisoner entered the house and stole the watch,
which hung over the chimney-piece. On information
having been conveyed to the police, inquiries were made
at several pawnbrokers, when it was found that the
watch had been pawned in the shop of Mrs. Law,
Rochester-terrace, Stoke Newington, by a person very
like the prisoner. The pawnbroker's shopman identified
the prisoner as the person pawning it, and she was fully
committed for trial.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT
ISLINGTON.

On Monday evening, when Mr. Greenwood was about
to leave the Clerkenwell Police-court, Sergeant Allen,
21 N division, informed the magistrate that he had made
inquiries of Mr. Haines, surgeon, of the Liverpool-road,
Islington. and was informed by that gentleman that
Mrs. Haines, of Paradise-terrace, who had been so bar-
barously treated by George Wilmot, in his attempt to
murder and rob her, was in so dangerous a state, that he
suggested the necessity of the magistrate's immediate at-
tendance at her residence, to take her deposition. De-
lirium might take place within twelve hours of that time,
and death might ensue.
Mr. Greenwood, at six o'clock in the evening, arrived
at the cottage of Mrs. Haines, who was found lying in
bed, in a most deplorable condition. The cottage is
situated in a most solitary place, a long, dark, and
dismal alley leading from the Liverpool-road to Pocock's-
fields, adjacent to the spot where the late Mr. Temple-
man was murdered, and at the northern extremity of the
road.
Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Haines, the surgeon, the various
officers, and our reporter were admitted into the apart-
ment where Mrs. Haines was lying, and every arrange-
ment having been made, the prisoner was brought in, in
the custody of Mr. Duke, and placed at the foot of the
bedstead, where he had a clear view of Mrs. Haines, who
viewed him with evident terror, whilst he seemed to shun
her and turn aside.
Mr. Greenwood administered the usual oath to her,
when he inquired whether she knew the name of the
prisoner? Mrs. Haines (faintly)--I believe his name is
Wilmot.
