THE PRINCE OF WALES'S ROYAI. VOLTINTEERS.
—Yesterday this Corps was inspetled on their
parade in the _upper Mews by Lieut. Colonel
JENKINSON, at twelve o'clock. The Corps after.
wards marched' to Hyde Park, whither the In.
,speding Officer attended them, for the -purpose
of seeing them manoeuvre. This was not
orginally intended, and they were not furnished
with powder..--They meant merely, after the
inspection, to have an ordinary Field-day in
the Green Park, their usual place of exercise, but
as the ROYAL FAMILY were in town, they did not
wish to appear in that Park without the particular
permission of Hrs MAJESTY. To obtain this Mr.
ADDINGTON' was applied to. He seemed flattered
by the attention, and promised to mention the cir.,
cumstance to the KING, but as no answer was re-
turned
to tile application, the probability is that he
never mentioned it at all. In consequence of this, the
Corps would not presume to appear, much less to fire
in the Green Pitt*, which accounts for their not hav-
ing been supplied with cartridges, and they therefore
marched on, tip Constitution Hill, to Buckden Hill,
'in Hyde Park, where aley formed, and went through

THE CORDONS.

T 1411-fields Brideweli, fan. 25, 1804-

MR. EDITOR,

I have to request that you will insert in your
Paper the following Extraft of a Letter which I
received this day from my brother.
I am, Sir, your most humble Servant,
L';CKART GORDON.

" And here I think it necessary to contradid a state..
ment made in the Papers, that the Bow-street Officer was
obliged to pay tbr our dinner at C;loucester, the fad being,
as Mrs. LEIGH knows, that I not only paid all our expences
at the Inn of that place, but also of Mr. MIL L xi( and Mrs.
LEI cn's servant : and I have in my pocket the account of
those expellees. I mention this, because trivial circum—
stances of this kind tend to prejudice the public mind, After
I had paid the bill, I told Mr. MILLER that I was a prisoner,
and therefore was under his charge, and that I expected him
to defray the expences attemiant on our. journey to London :
he said, that Mr. PARKINS had given him money for that
purpose, and that he should do so of course."

Yesterday a Court of Direaors- was . held at the

ZAW REPORT,

COURT OF KING'S WENCH, TAN. 25

Ix the course :If calling over
t 4
perm).
p 101.;
Paper, it appeared that the Parties were not reedy.
owirg to one of the Attornies not being aware-of
the rules of the Court upon the subjeft of filing Al.
fidavits in a given time, for which lie was very se-
verely censured by the Court.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that whatever loss this
Attorney might occasion by such negligence, or
ignorance, might be very properly made the subjeet
of an Aft ion. It was no excuse that he did not
know the rules of the Court in this particular—he
was bound to know them. If he wanted informa-
tion, he ought to have inquired at the Offices where
the business was transaaed, and for which there
was abundant time in this case, for be had had the
whole of the Vacation. As to the Peremptory
Paper, his .Lordship observed, there was hardly a
case in which some excuse was not offered for not
being ready on the day for which it peremptorily
stood, and therefore the Paper should rather be call.
ed the No.n..peremptory.
Mr. Justice LAWRENCE rebuked the Attorney
very seriously for this ignorance and negligence,
and said, there was no excuse whatever for him.

Mr. GAR ROW was to have shewn Cause for this
Attorney, against the Rule, but could not do so
owing to this mistake in not filing the Affidavits in
time.

Mr.Ginus had obtained the Rule last Term, but
he was not in Court,• and there being no Motion to
make the Rule absolute, the Court could not do any
thing with it,
-- The Judges conferred for some time ; after which,
The CHIEF Justice said, that this was an extraor-
dinary case. The Court could not know what rea-
son there was why no Motion was made to make
the Rule absolute ; but withoUt such a Motion, the
Court could not make it absolute, however clear it
was that upon Motion it must be so, because the
Court could not take upon itself the province of an
Advocate. Mr. GARRow was in Court to spew
.Cause against the Rule, but he could not be heard
in this case
,without the consent of the other side,
since the Affidavits were not filed in time. Yer,
since the matter was mentioned, the Court must
make some disposition of it. The Rules of the
Court must be observed regularly and striclly ; the
•oniy course, therefore, which could now tie taken,
was that of ordering this case to be struck out, and
afterwards, on Motion, it might be restored, and,
upon consent, Cause might be shewn against the
Rule. In this way no Rule of the Court would be
violated—otherwise the Court would, in one case,
be taking upon itself the province of the AdvoCate
• in making the Rule absolute, since no Motion was.
made for that purpose, the very respe6table Advo-
cage who was to have made it not being in Court..
On the other hand, if they Were to allow Cause to
be shewn without consent, as the Affidavits were
not filed in time, a peremptory Rule of the Court
would be violated. At present as there was nobody
Hmy Court to support the Rtile ii" should be struck
i out. But in order to prevent mistakes in future,
frorn Parties not properly attending to Rules, that
are enlarged, as this was, it might be as well 'to
make a Rule that the ?arty at whose instance a
Rule is enlarged, shall serve that-enlarged Rule on
the other Party. The Court would consider the
terms in which that general Rule should be formed,
and afterwards the Court would announce the Rule,
which would be to the efted he had stated.

lIEKSCHUR AND ANOTHER Z. GREGORY.

This is one of those numerouse causes originating
in the Stock-bubble, during the last Mayoralty for
the City of London. One trial between the parties
had occurred in the Court of Common Pleas, and
another in the King's Bench ; and the present appli-
cation was to obtain a rule to skew cause why the
nonsuit should not he set aside, and a new trial had.
"f he fads of this case were, that the Plaintiffs being
Trustees for certain Merchants in Harnburgh, sold
stock according to their order. The Defendant re-
lying on the resolution of the Stock Exchange, on
the occasion just alluded to, refused to accept the
transfer of the stock so sold to him. Under 'these
circnmstances the Plaintiffs gave notice to their cor-
respondents, so that between the 511) of May and
the month of June, no re-sale of the stock was made.
This case was reserved for the opinion of the Court,
on a doubt, admitted by Lord ELLENBOkOUGFI,
under the 6th and 71h Se Lions of the Stock Att,
yiz. Whether the Perms of the Act imply that a
transfer of the Stock, as' well as a contrail for sale,
is necessary to constitute a valid engagement ?
Mr. ERsio NE for the Rule.—" The question here
is, if the stock should not have been immediately
sold, instead of waiting, as was done in this case, for
the reply of the Hamburgh proprietors ? The Court
agreed there were no counts in the Declaration
which would reach such a case, and leave was giiren
that it should be amended. The Stock was sold for
6o on the sth of May ; the offer of transfer, and
the refusal to accept it, were on the same day. The
re-sale was on the Bth of June, at 57;1 with the divi-
. dend, or 584,' without it. The Stuck being shut at
that time, the transfer was made on the first day
when the books were opened. The übjettion taken
by Mr„GIBBS at the trial was, that there was no
aaual transfer until after the ACtion was brought,
and that therefore there was no foundation for the
proceedings. Two points the Court will have to
consider. c First, I shall contend, that by the terms
of the Statute, no transfer is necessary. Secondly,
that if such transfer be determined to be necessary,
the Plaintiffs have done all they ought to have done,
or "could have done, to lay a foundation for their
action."

Lord ELLENBOROUCII.—" I certainly thought
the words of the At require a transfer, as well as
a contraa for sale, and so I expressed myself on 'the
trial."—Rule granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TAN. 24.

SMITH ,V. DICKENSON.

Mr. Serje3nt SFIFPHERD applied 'for a Rule to
spew cause why a Nonsuit should not be entered' iu
this case against the Plaintiff.
The 11:tcndant was charged with having- abu:,,ed

the confidence placed in ititrAly the Piaintift, who
had spade certain, 'discoverie-s relative -&astic
siling saddles, whith he had enttilsted to the D -fen-
dant on ;an, agreement of secrecy, in place of which
the li,efe.piant had abused that confidence, and ()b-
-rained a 'Patent for those dicoveties in his own
name. , _ _

The :Tory found a verdiet for the Plaintiff, con-
ditional, if the I)eicridant Plainriff yo
:the benefit of the Pdtent, for 3001. pr, if he failed
to do so, for breach of agreement, to the extent of
0601.

The Learned Serjeant contended, that the verdia
was unfounded, from the facts atifluced in evidence,
and ftorn the vddiEt of the Jury themselves. The
jary.had found that it had been agreed that the
Patent shnuld be taken- out in the Defendant's name,
and yet the:±7 had Ibtand the Defendant liable in
breach of agreement, not,.,because he had denied
participation to the Plaintiff in.the benefit resulting
from that Patent, but because he had taken out the
Patent in his own name, to the prejudice of the De-
fendant.
Lord ALVANLFY said, that by the grossest trick
imaginable, the Defendant h_►d succeeded in obtain-
ing a Patent in his own name, contrary to all good
faith between the parties. The Plaintiff had, how_
ever, acquiesced on the condition that he was to be
admitted to a participation in the benefit of the Pa-
tent, and, if the Defendant had 'aced up• to that
agreement, he should have esteemed it as an appro-
bation on the par: of the Plaintiff of all prior pro-
ceedings had by the Defendant. The Defendant,
however, had hot performed his part of the agree-
ment, and not having done so, it was clear, that
from that moment, damage must immediately accrue
to the Plaintiff.

Mr. Serjeant BEST, for the Plaintiff, moved, that
if the Defendant's motion stood, he should also be
allowed to enter a verdia for toool. which, how
ever, he was %I/1110g to-discharge, if the Defendant
chose to withdraw his Motion.

This not being agreed to on the part of the De-
fendant, both Motions were ordered to be entered.

COURT OF CIIANCERY, {AN. 24.

LADY AUGUSTA MURRAY V. HIS ROYAL HIGH,
Ness THE DUKE OF siTSSEX, AND OTHERS.

THE bill was filed by Lady Augusta Murray,
praying, amongst other things, that the Defendant,
Mr. Coutts, might be restrained by an injunlion
of 'the Court, from paying to His. Royal Highr.sss
the Duke of Su sex, a surn of 40001. per annum,
part of an annual pension of 12,0001. settled upon
His Royal Highness ; and which sum of 40001. had
been settled by deed trpon haly Augusta, in con-
sideration of her et-1,3061,g and maintaining the
children she already had, or might have, by His
Royal Highness. It alsU stated, that Mr. Coitus
received the s z,oool. under the authority of a
.power of attorney from the puke of SuSsex, who
was at present at Lisbon, and out of the juris„
&Won of the-Court. Mr. Coutts admitted the
letter of attorney, by which he was authorised to
receive the money, hut stated, that he had no
money in his hands belonging to the Duke of Sussm
A motion was made during the Sittings before
Term at Lincoln's-Inn Hall, praying that Mr.
Coutts might be ordered to retain in his hands, and
pay over to the Plaintiff this'suat of 40001. when
he received .the same, on the ground that the deed
stated in the bill, gave the Plaintiff, Lady A tsta
Murray, 'a iitia upon the annual sum of 12,0001. •
granted to the Duke, to the extent of 4optal. a
year. The motion was resisted, upon the ground
that Mr. Cotitts was merely authorised to receive
this money tinder a letter. of attorney, which might
be revoked at pleasure by the grantor, and that he
was, by law, accountable. to his constituent aloriej,
for the application of Oa money.
When this Motion was first made, the LORD
CHANCELLOR, after expressing much doubt upon
the subjed, direaed it to stand over ; and this day,
his Lordship said, that he had given every con-
sideration to the sLibje6l, and conversed with the
MASTER of the ROLLS upon it. That neither his
Honour nor himself ever recolleded a similar case,
where the grantor of the deed was not before the
Court, and who, if present, might set up many ob_
jedions, which might perhaps he fatal to the exist-
ence of the instrument. His. Lordship said, it was
impossible in this stage of the cause to grant the
injandion as prayed, but that he saw no objcaion
to restrain Mr. Coutts from receiving the money
at all ar present, and if the Plaintiff chose to make
any other motion relative to the application of the
money, that he felt so much.ditliculty in the case,
that he should certainly hear it, assisted by the
judgMents Of the MASTER of the ROLLS and the

A few days since died at Bawtry, Mt. Barker,
