Itt.otir report on the 4th of December Last, wd
gave some aceonnt ofthe canse•for'criMinal CoMier-
s4;tion between Mrs. Chambers ,and Capt. Caulfield.
We kw,: since, till several omiSions, stated the short
ti, • • i • •e • •
procee:lings in this Courtov.i.c t.SOrilL t j,L
COnCea!t%:l 'from public observation, froth motives of
'dlicacv to the, parties. •At lei. t publicity became
unaviii,latile. When the question was previously
before the Court, an order was given to the Master
to invite into various fitas, which the report now
brought before the Court had been prepared to
plain. The Plaintiffs in. the htfal4 cltiidrt ii of, Mr.
Chithibers, viz. Willianlaambers, of the
age of vo years, now at ChaMbers,
lil yciri Oil, • also in the Ea.it Indies, and both of
them in the situation of, Cattets Augustus
hers, 15 ye;:its, lately at the school of Mr. Ed-
wards:Chelsea, ;and now fitted out as a Cadet fbr,
:;ettlements ; Frederick Chambers, a Lieu-
tenant in the Army; NewtOn Chambers, at West:-
iniuster 5011001 Jane Chambers, intended to be sent
to Caarden it:use; and Couttney Chambers, only
eight Yeats odd, at Mr. Morton's, Ji.ensington, at
which place the father now resides. . ,
• The :Master states the reports of his predecessors,
pi to the allow4nces to the children, wbicjt had been
paid up to the •sth 180.:3, and were suspend-
ed in the month of Attix,nit of that year; the father
bayiti.,;:4:l)e abroad. Att,4 that they were entrusted
to Lori: hat ie henry Somerset, who was reipoved
from his situation of guardian, , on his own iipplica7
Chin, on the 3th of March, ,18,04..
Since the ;itli of
the July .foll Owing,, the allowances have not been
• paid to any one. The Master' then details the pro-.
positions of Mr. George Chamberson the one hand,
sti :1 of Mrs. chamber:: on the other, for the futi'e
maintenance and education of the children, and. de--
~tertninc.,s in favour of .the latter; reamnmending the
money he paid fOr their benefit into the hands of
,Mr. Aaron Graham. ,lie then finds, that by, Mr.
(Aiambers, for,the use of the children, the sum of
57*1: /4s. pd. has been paid, and byMrs. Chambers
:2701.35, igcl. The present application to the Court
was in th.:,? way of exceptions to this report.
Messri. ROMILLY and KroiLitiatte, for Mr.
observed, that the only obje6tion to the
coldttO of the father, in the nvinagement of his
Phildren, Was not that he hal reserved.any thing
diveted by the Court 'for their subsistence .and ad-
iantage, but that he had not distinguished the
• ;m mins which had been devoted to each individual.
Oi'd. Mr. Chambers conceived that the legacies
ii,vised by Sir William to his grand-children were
apportioned by, him, thefatlicr, for their :Ilan',
tei as e, and that he might at least have the privi-
. e of le ring the seminaries Nvhere they 5110111 d
re dive i ton. The first exception to the rc-
p.4t. was, that the Mister had thaw! that the allow-
'aAce ought to be discontinued for the pktli now
tined to the East Indies. A groat e,vence had
been incurred in fitting hiM cut, and the paytnedt
,
cOnid not be withheld under cireurastances More un--
re': t)tiltile. Th,t next objc.‘aion was, that theMa's-
ter roportel that the two y4,iuter'ehildren, Jane
arid Courtney, should
,be disposed of according to
the recommendation of the Mother, and not, agre.l.e-
-'ably to .the advice of the father. The third was;
that the sinus to be, 'devoted VS the children, were to
be paid to Mr. 'Graham, 'and not to the father', ,
The Loan CIIANCELLOR--" Here is d hOY of 13
1,(1-;, of age, at school, to be supported by
,a small
aii,l the charge for his hats for four Months
S. 3,1. These boys are ia a style of expellee
at all suited to their 'inure expeLiations. Some
people have acqnired ri noliert that the Chancellor is
to pay for this ; and a shoemaker has sent me a
bill Of parcels for articlei of his Shop, wherein helms
clorged more by five tithes than I would allow to
any child amy own. A. bey of ,t 3 years old runs
up bills to the amount of 1361. in tie year, 'botides
What is to be paid to his father for his mainte-
nance!'
The ATTORI,II-nt,•0r.141.: RAI, vindicated the Master's
report with regard to the three exceptions that had
been taken. was not asked that Mrs. Chambers
have the care of the children, it was only
sou ;ht that 'Mr; 'Griihuil might have the .approptia,,
tiOtt' of the money, ;Ind tlw.t.„ the father.:might no
longer have the dispoiol of it, who, either by. the
rniAtOrtune of his toiliptor, or the infelicity of his dr--
comstances, was wholly ineapfibleof fulfilling; the
parental duties. In igov.. it had appvarcd that Mr.
Cli,ituberS a as obliged ,to tot sake the 'country; on ac-
couot itt .his pecuniary embarrasSiatentS, for OM
years ; his situation Of this moment might be equal-
ly iii3trei•sing ; and how 'Was it possible for the Conn,
toAsistontly with its duty, to entrust him with this
iinport ant charg,e ? Sarno- idea of the diflietalties ii

Money, which ought ro be held sacred for his orf-
s.yrin; might colic:6o:d tiorn a letter lie wrote
