JUDGMENT.- LESTER V. GARLAND.

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment
this morning in this case, the facts of which were
shortly these :—ln the year 1814 a merchant, named
Christopher Spurrier, who had formerly carried on busi-
ness at Poole, executed a settlement previous to his mar-
riage with a lady of the name of Amy Garland, by which
he undertook to secure to her 5,0001., the amount of her
marriage portion, and also to settle to her use the interest
of 33,0001. 3 per cent. Consols, which he had at the time
of the excution of the settlement. It was also stipulated
that at the death of the lady the principal was to be
divided among the children of the marriage, should
there be any. Mr. Spurrier, in the month of July, 1830,
becoming bankrupt, the present suit was instituted by his
assignees, for the purpose of setting aside the marriage
settlement, in order that the bankrupt's property, instead
of being distributed under that settlement, might be applied
in satisfaction of the claims of his creditors. His Honour,
in giving judgment, went, at considerable length, through
the authorities governing cases of a similar nature, and
upon the dicta laid down in them, be felt himself com-
pelled to declare, that the wif was only entitled to the
5,000/. the amount of her marriage portion, and that the
residue of the property of the bankrupt should be applied
in satisfaction of the demand of his creditors.

CHOLERA MEETING.

A vestry of the inhabitants of St. Mary, Newingtor,
was last night, to compliance with the Act of Parliament
recently passed, held in the school-room of that parish, for
the purposes of receiving the report ofThe Lica' Board of
Health in reference to the cholera, and of sanctioning its
proceedings. The reception of the report was moved by
Mr. Weston, seconded by Mr. Pahner, and supported by
Messrs. Stevess, Fox, Smith, and others. These gentlemen
assured the vestry that every thing that the Board had
effected bad been (lone with a due regard to economy, arid
the comforts of the poor who may be afflicted with the
disease called cholera.

A Mr. Ross spoke against the motion, and, with the
aid of some others, succeeded in procuring the rejecti.m of
the report.
A resolution, was then proposed authorising the ap-
propriation of parish money, to the amount of Id. in the
p(iiind on the rental, for the purposes of the Board of
Heal• th.

This resolution having been seconded and supported,
was, after mucli clamour and disturbance, carried.

It appeared front the report that about 602. or 70/.
had been expended in procuring bed 4, bedding, &c. for an
hospital for cholera patients situated in York-street.
