CHANCERY.-(THIS DA
(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR•)
THE CASE OF MISS TALBOT.

DOYLE V. WRIGHT.
In consequence of the hearing of this case having been
fixed for to-day the court was more than usually crowded.
After a brief discussion as to the service of some additional
affidavits on both sides,
Mr. BoLT said he appeared in support of the petition of
the Rev. Dr. Voyle, praying that an additional sum of 1,5001:
for the ensuing year might be paid to the trustees, and
handed over by them in instalments, or otherwise, to the pe-
titioner, who was the legal guardian of Miss Talounbot,g
to be applied for the maintenance of the y
lady, and that the Court should decide on e
scheme for the residence during the remainder of her minority-
The Learned Counsel referred at length to the whole pr-
ceedings which had taken place in this matter since Mies
Talbot and her brother, who is now deceased, became wards
in Chancery, and ia the course of his observations said it
was perfectly clear that when the father of Miss Talbot made
Dr. Doyle her guardian, it was his wish that she should be
brought up in the Roman Catholic persuasion. The Earl
and Countess of Shrewsbury, who had previously the care of
the young lady, were now abroad, and Dr. Doyle now asked
the assistance and direction of the Court as to her residence
during the summer. He quite approved of the lady whose
name his Lordship had furnished the parties with as a fit
and proper person to have the care of ber, and was ready to
consent to her remaining with that lady until a further order
was made by his Lordship, or as long as circumstances
reneered it convenient and desirable. All remaining to be
done in that case would be to see that such a residence
was consonant with the feelings of the young lady. She
would be in London on Monday next, and his Lordship
would best ascertain from her own lips whether the ar-
rangement was acceptable to her.
Mr. BAGSHAWE made a few observations on the same side.
Mr. PARKER, on the part of the Earl and Countess of
Shrewsbury, said they concurred entirely in the view taken
by Dr. D, yle, and would consent to the arrangement pro-
posed for the residence of Miss Talbot in association with
her legal guardians.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Mr. Page Wood), who opposed
for Mr. Craven Berkeley, said he had nothing to do with
his Learned Friend's petition, as he had not been served With
a copy of it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, as there did not apirer to
be any opposition to the application he saw no objection to
it. The circumstances of the young lady had so changed es
to render it necessary and proper that some new arrangement
should be made. The matter had better go before the blaster,
who would see what was the most proper scheme to
be adopted under the circumstances. He bad had some
communication with the Master, and he had promised to be
good enough to attend to the reference immediately. His
Lordship then observed that he had written to Miss Talbot,
acquainting her what arrangement he had made for her re-
ception in London, and he had received a letter from her this
morning expressing her entire acquiescence in it. She said
she would be in town on Monday, and he should feel it his
duty to see her as soon as possible.
The matter was then referred to the Master in the usual
way, for his report.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was then heard in support of the
petition of Mr. Berkeley, the object of which was nearly the
same as the above, with the exception that Mr. Berkeley
wished to have access to the young lady, and to be at liberty
to make certain representations with reference to her resi-
dence before the Master. The Solicitor •General observed
that the petition of Dr. Doyle was not presented until after
Mr. Berkeley's, and until some superior authority was
brought to bear upon the case.
The hearing was likely to occupy the Court the whole day.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS
George and Charles hlailes, two young men, were charged
before Mr. Henry with stealing a watch, of the value of 3/..
the property of W. Jones, potman at the Bull's Head public-
house, New Oxford-street. It appeared that for some time
past the prisoners had been in the habit of going
every morn-
ing into the taproom of the house, and the elder, George,
being known to have been a potman, sometimes lent a band
to the prosecutor. On Saturday morning last, they were
in the house, and the prosecutor took off his coat and
waistcoat to wash himself, and whilst he was 50
engaged, the prisoners walked out of the house. Soonafter their departure the prosecutor discovered that his
watch had been taken out of his waistcoat pocket; and. he
now swore positively that no one but the prisoners and 131F1-
self had been in the kitchen from the time he laid down his
waistcoat. On Wednesday Charles was taken into cutotot
and on the same night the other prisoner was traced
New-cut, where he also was taken.
Mr. HENRY said he could have no doubt from the ev.
the polleeidence
an-
that they took the watch, and he should give
other week to ascertain how it was disposed of.

Captain Howortb, R.E., had an interview with Earl Grey
