COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 27.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BRENTWOOD SCHOOL.
This was an appeal from a decision of his Honour
the Master of the Rolls. Sir Anthony Brown con-
veyed certain lands and tenements in Essex to trus-
tees, in trust, to establish a grammar school at Brent-
wood, and also the tithes of the parish of Dagenham
to the master of such school, in trust, to pay the yearly
sum of 40s. to five poor folks of Dagenham and its vi-
cinity. Sir Anthony Brown died without declaring
the rules and ordinances which were to be observed in
the school and at the almshouse, and his son Wigton
Brown, obtained a decree, made about 1570, by eop—
sent, by which the then Bishop of London, the DOM.
of St. Paul's, and Sir Anthony's heir, were empowered
to draw up regulations and rules. The rules were
accordingly drawn up, one of which required the mas-
ter personally to attend to the teaching of the boys;
and it was also provided that, in case the master
should neglect his duties, the rents and profits
of the lands and the tithes should be for a time
received by the trustees. The patronage of the school
was now vested in a gentleman of the name of Towers.
who appointed one of his sons master, who, it was
contended, had not, in accordance with the rules, per-
sonally attended to the teaching of the boys. At the
request of Mr. Towers the matter had come before the
Charity Commissioners, on whose recommendation
the present information had been filed, it being alleged
that the tithes of Dagenham, which were now consi-
derable, were absolutely intended for the benefit of the
poor of Dagenham, and not for the benefit of the mas-
ter of the school. His Honour the Master of the
Rolls, before whom the matter had come, had directed
a reference to be made to the master for the purpose
of ascertaining the amount of the property, and for ap-,
proving of a scheme for the application of the surplus
funds. The present was an appeal from that decision,
His LORDSHIP postponed his judgment, and advised
the parties to come to some arrangement.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 27.

(Sittings after Term before Lord DENMAN and a
Special Jury.)
ROGERS V. BRIGSTOCKE AND OTHERS. ,
___ _

This action was brought by the plaintiff, an attorney
residing in Carmarthen, against the proprietors of the
IVelslanan newspaper for the publication of an alleged
libel. The article which was made the subject of the
action was a squib at the expense of the plaintiff. It
purpo:ted to be a colloquy between a certain attorney
and his borough patron. The objectionable part was
the f )Ilowing six lines or epigram :
T iey tell me IL, thou best of men,
T le prince of liars are;
Hoe came it then when Austin got your conscience in a vice
You d—d our Corporation in a trice ?
Nay, softly! gentle Johnny ! in my troth,
You quite forget I was not on my oath."
Sir JAMES SCARLETT, who conducted the plaintiff's
case, described his client to be injured by the above
words, which charged him with mendacity and perjury.
Witnesses proved that they, in common with others
at Carmarthen, understood the R. in the epigram to
mean Rogers.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defendants, said
this was an action brought by a greedy attorney for
costs. The lines were no more thian ijesf, and if the
cause had been tried at Carmarthen, the plaintiff would
have been laughed out of Court.
Verdict for the defendant.
