DEPUTATION TO EARL GREY.

This morning a deputation, consisting of Mr. John Smith,
M.P for Bucks, Mr. Pease, M.P. for Durham, and Mr. Martin,
M.P. for Tewkesbury, waited upon Earl Grey with memorials
from the Dissenters of their respective districts, entreating his
Majesty's Government to remove the grievances under which
they laboured. The deputation was received in the most
courteous manner by the Noble Earl; who, in the course of
returning an answer to the deputation, was interrupted in con-
sequence of Mr. Martin falling down in an apoplectic fit. The
Noble Earl and all present expressed great concern at the acci-
dent, and Mr. Martin was instantly removed to another room,
where medical assistance having been procured he shortly
afterwards recovered, and no serious apprehensions are enter-
tained with respect to the health of the Hon. Member in con-
sequence of the accident.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

LEES V. NUTTAL.
The Lord CHANCELLOR heard counsel conclude their argu.
ments in this appeal, which occupied all yesterday. The ap-
peal was from a judgment pronounced by his Honour the Mas-
ter of the Rolls, which declared that Mr. Nuttal was a trustee
for the plaintiff, and that he had purchased a certain estate
mentioned in the pleadings as trustee for the plaintiff: Mr.
Nuttal contended that he had ceased to act as agent and solicitor
for the plaintiff at the time at which he purchased the estate,
and that he had bought it for himself. The question was whe-
ther he had or not?
The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion very decidedly that
his Honour was right in holding Mr. Nuttal had acted as the
plaintiff's agent in the transaction. From the evidence,
and more particularly from a document in the hand-
writing of Mr. Nuttal himself, this was very apparent.
At the same time his Lordship felt bound to declare that this
decision was not calculated to impugn Mr. Nuttal's professional
conduct in the slightest degree. It was by no means impro.
bable that he should, under the circumstances, have miscon-
ceived the nature of the character in which he acted. The
Court's now confirming the judgment below, therefore, was not
to be regarded as an impeachment of that gentleman's profes-
sional conduct. The impression of the Court's mind at pre-
sent was, that the decree below was right. His Lordship
would, however, read the evidence, and if lie should say
nothing further upon it in the course of two or three days, the
parties were to consider that his Honour's judgment stood
affirmed.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.

These Sessions commenced this morning, before ➢ir. Baron
GURNEY, Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr. Justice PARK, the RE-
CORDER, and the usual authorities.
OLD COURT.

Robert Simkins, aged 55, was capitally indicted for burgla.
riously stealing from the dwelling-house of Godfrey Dommett,
Ss. and other articles, his property.

It appeared that the prosecutor, who is apublican, living in

Limehouse, was in bed on the night of the 17th of January last,
and was awoke by a constable, who informed him that his house
had been broken open. The prisoner was discovered in the
taproom, and the property was found in his possession.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. _

. .
Mary Adlani, aged 31, was indicted with Ann Pugh, aged
20, who pleaded guilty, for stealing a large quantity of silver
plate, the property of Rose Riddle, a lady residing at Enfield,
with whom the first prisoner lived as cook, and Pugh as
housemaid.

It appeared in evidence that the prisoners rose very early on
the morning of the Sth of January, for the purpose of washing.
Shortly afterwards they awoke their mistress and informed her
that the house had been broken open, and the plate taken away.
A policeman was sent for who questioned the prisoners sharply ;
Pugh turned very paleand attempted to get away, but was pursued
and brought back. A search was made and the whole of thepro-
perty found in the dust-hole, upon which Pugh confessed her guilt
and begged hard for mercy. There were no foot-marks on the
grounds about the house, nor any marks of violence on the
doors which would indicate a burglarious attack, though a pane
of glass was broken in the pantry. The plate was found
wrapped up in an appron belonging to Pugh.
The prisoner Adlam protested her innocence, and some re-
spectable persons with whom she had lived gave her an excel-
lent character for honesty.

Mr. Justice ParrEsoN summed up at length, and
The Jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict of
Guilty.
Edward Goodacre was indicted for stealing a ring, value 51.,
the property of Joseph Burke, six years ago.
It appeared that the prisoner formerly lived as valet to
Monsieur Louis, the French giant, and that the prosecutor let
his apartment for exhibitions. While the prisoner was in the
habit of visiting the house the ring was taken.
The prisoner, who said his master gave him the ring, and
that he wore it for six months in the prosecutor's view, was
acquitted.
Dennis Guinan, aged 34, was indicted for stealing a table,
value 61. 10g., the property of John Whittaker.
It appeared that on the 20th of January last the prisoner en.
tered the prosecutor's shop in Long-acre, which has an open front,
and without being observed, walked off with the table, which
was missed shortly afterwards, and the prisoner was taken with
it on his back in Holborn.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was hired by a gentle.
man, whom he did not know, to carry the table.
Verdict—Guilty of stealing under the value of 5/.
