executed. by May,. Goff, and flail, 'the officers,
who 'found and seizr;:l bet ween thirty and forty

Yesterday the case ,came on to be heard before

roaster hat-makers who have been robbed of fur
and beaver to 'a large amount ; one of them esti^
mated his losses by the proloining of his journey-

HUG!TES IN THE MATTER OF RICHMOND.

This caseovhich has undel-gone no inconsi-
dv.,,ble_ degree of litigation, both in .a Court
of Equity and the Courts of Law, came before
the Lord Chancellor on'the present occasion, on
-tLe motion of- Sir Samuel Romilly, for the cool-
iniltal to prison of a Mr. %Veils, for a contempt
4,f,Court. The motion also, prayed that the As-
-signets of Mr. Richmond might be ordered to
mike such pecuniary recompense to Mrs. Hughes
aizA (he Court might deem adequate to the injury
she had suf:taitied, by the de:endant having seized
and rakeit away the whole of her property.. The
-facts of the case are briefly as follows 1815,
a commission of bankruptcy was i.sued against
Mr. Riehmond (but which was subsequently su-
rersedeel), and the defendants were appointed
Ass.ignees. Being so appointed, they authorised
Mr. Wells, an auctioneer, to take .possession
of all the property on a .farm, held by Mrs.
Hughes. on the plea that the .whole was
the property of Mr. Richmond. Mr: Wells,..ac-
eordingly, accoMpanied by-a-number of persons,
cot possession, and proceeded to sell the property
in (piestion, said to he worth 12001. An appli-
catioa, in consequence, was made on the behalf
of Mrs. Hughes, to. restrain the sale, and an
injanction was granted, notice of', which. was
Nerved on Mr. Wells, who, on the authority
of the Assignees, proceeded on with the sale, in
ilirvet opposition to the order of the Court. Mrs.
Hughes then brought .an action of trespass, and
was nonsuiled ; bat in a subsequent suit-, she was
declared to' he the tuna fide proprietor: Among
agree affidavits, • cortoborative ot . the allegations
conrained in Mrs. Hughes's petition, was one
mule by Lady Congreve; which described the si.
t uation of Mrs..Hugbes to have been the most de-
plorable.- Lady Congreve found, on going to the
farm, the place at ripped of every individual article,.
and the only bed left to Mrs. it then SO years of
age, and labouring- under a most severe attack of
rheumatism, and her three grand-daughters, was a
(polity of straw !
Sir S Rom LLY, after stating the case, observed,
that the necessity of a speedy decision was of the
'utmost consequence, as Mrs.. Hughes had on Sa-
turday last experienced a most severe paralytic .
stroke, in consequence -of which her life was in
t:le most imminent danger. .

PoNBLANC and Mr. MoNTAGuE followed on
the same side.

Mr. LEACH, Mr. HART, Mr. WINGFIELD, and
Mr HEALD, lespectively contended against the
i:untediate decision of the ease, until a suit now
pe,iding had been disposed of; as also for a set-
off in respect of the costs that had been incurred.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Before I proceed
to decide this case, I will have all the affidavits
beroie me'; I' now appoint Tuesday next, posi-
tively 10 give judgment. As far as lat present
see, (bete. ecins to have been an extremely un-
necessary proceeding; for the Assignees, the
Uommis;iion having been superseded, could have
had no title to the property, and even if thacCom-
mission had not been superseded, they could have
had no right to it, for the verdict of a Jury had
ituO ht•loug to Mrs. Hughes. The opplica-
ti,n made to me ih 18 6, was simply for the corn-
0f Atr. Wells, but Os I had then some
doubts to whom the property did belong, I let
'flit!, ease stand over, for the purpose of solving
that daubt ; that has been done, and I shall there-
fore proceed to give judgment as 1 have stated.

MURDER AND TUMULT AT BRIGHTON:

_Mr. Shepherd had obtained two rules, .one for a
Certiorari, to bring into this Court the proceedings
Letore a Cutonet's Inquest held at Brighton, on
the budy of a riti_n named Thomas Howles, who
4!ied of a bayonet tround, received from a soldier
doting the recent riots at Bright .m, on the sth of

CRIMINAL INFORM \TION.

Mr. StattLETT now addressed the Court, and
said, that 'l►e was ,instructed to move for a Cri-
minal information against the Editor of a -News-
paper, for having published in his Journal a state-
ment concerning' what occurred at Brighton on
the day above alluded to, which was calculated to
have an improper effect upon the minds of the
Coroner's Jury. He was aware that ~he could

not make this application on the last day of Term ;
but lie lequesred that the Court would receive the
notification of his intention td apply to the Court
for this purpose on the first clay of.next Term.
Lord ELLENBOR9UGH.—I hope the Information
will have the effect of making the Editors of Papers
more guarded. for the future ; for 1 do assure the
party, the Court will not visit the offence lightly.
The publication of any thing which tends to irri-
tate the public mind by ex-parte statements, is
most reprehensible.
SCARLETT.—There is too much reason to
believe (without imputing any improper motive
to the Editor), that the publications in this case
have had considerable intluence on the minds of
the Jury.
Lord ELLENI3O‘ROUGH.—The Court consider that
you have liberty to make your motion on the first
day of next Term.
REGULATIONS OF THE KING'S BENCH PRISON.

At the sitting of the Court this day, their Lord-
ships promulgated the following order and rule:—
" Ordered—'Thai :he Marshal remove horn his

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 27.

SIR WATKIN LEWI3S U. MORGAN.

This long litigated cause was this day again
brought under the consideration of their Lord-
ships. It will be recollected by our Readers, that
Sir Watkin Lewes, by an order of their Lordships,
made in the present Term, was decreed to have
the possession of the estates delivered up to him ;
and that Mr. John Morgan shottld, on or before
the first day of next Term, account for and,deliver
up certain sums of money in his hands decreed to
be doe.to Sir IVatkin Le►ves.

• Mr. AGAR, in conseqntuace of this decree, moved,
" that the Deputy Remembrancer of this Court
he ordered to deliver up to the plaintiff, Sir \Vat-
kin Lewes, all the deeds, writings, documents,
papers, &c. relative to the estate in question, and
mentioned or referred to in the certificate of him,
the Deputy Remembrancer, as well; those re-
lating to the parts in mortgage, as those not in
mortgage, which hid been left in the office of the
Deputy ltemembrancerby Mr. John Morgan "
The Learned Counsel having expressed his opinion
that the present was merely a motion of course, and
the necessity that existed tor the order being made,
in order to enable Sir W. Lewes to obtain his dis-
charge from prison, prayed their Lordships to or-
der the delivery as prayed for,
Mr. MARTIN, on behalf of the Mortgagees and
Trustees of James Morgan, conteudol at great
length, and with intidl ability, that thepotion couLl
not- be maintained.

Mr..RATI-ev, on behalf of Mr. John Morgan,
took objections to the motion on the ground of
informality. First, that the plaintiff had not in
his inti-tiOn specified a tlerrgtil the.cerafica-te of the
Deputy Remembrancer..
.Secondly; that they
were-bound to state the foundation on which they,
grounded the motion, which he contended must
be on the preliminary order of the Court. No or-
der had as yet been made, and unless the-plaintiff
could produCe one, his motion must ,of necessity
fall to the ground. It would be necessary to or-
der the Master to report what deeds related to the-
estates in mortgage, and what to those not
in mortgage. The third objection' was, that
Mr. Morgan was a judgment creditor, and there-
fore had a claim against the estate, as also a lien
on those deeds which the plaintiff prayed to have
delivered up to him ; he also had a claim in his
character of Solicitor to Sir ‘Vatkin Lewes, and
until those claims had been liquidated, he would'
in this respect have a claim on them, ill support
of which he quoted Newman r. Paine, 2 Vesey,
jun. p. 199: After arguing at considerable length,
he concluded by submitting that the motion should
be discharged.
Mr. AGAR contended that the case quoted by
Mr. Raithby bore no analogy to the present .;
there the defendant got possession in his charae7
ter of Attorney, hut Mr. Morgan held them in his
character of Agent to the Trustees. If Sir War-'
kin Lewes wasknor to have the Title Deeds at pre-
sent, when was he to have them ? The Court,
as well as the House-- of Lords, had decided that

Mr. Morgan had no lien on the estate, and had
ordered him to pay into Court the money tie had
received subsequent to 1807. He dwelt with
much pathos on the peculiar situation of Sir Wat-
kin Lewes, in his not
_being able, for want of the
Title Deeds,. to bring . the estate to market, and
consequently being under the necessity of still re-
maining in durance vile.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM, after adverting to the great
difficulty which arose in the present case, particu-
larly that with respect to the motgage of Mr.
Wilder, said, that, with respect to the objection as
to the form of the motion, it might easily be done
away, by amending it ; but here the Court were
called on to deliver up certain papers, and the
question was, did Sir Watkin Lewes stand in a si-
tuation to liquidate the whole of the incurnbrances
on the estate ? It had been'the invariable prac-
tice of the Court to bold possession till that was
the case. The motion, in his Lordship's opinion,
went too far, and he did not think enough bad
been shewn to warrant the Court in granting its
prayer, or tielivering up the papers, until the
whole of the case was before their Lordships, as
it would be acting against the general rule to take
from an Attorney the securities he held until his
bill had been paid.
111 r. Baron IVOOD concurred in the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr. Baron Graham.
Mr. Baron GAanovi dissented, and took occa-
sion to say oby he did so. After paying a high
compliment to the other Judges, his Lordship con-
cluded by observing that be thought Sir War-
kin Lewes ought to be enabled to avail him-
self of the benefit of the estate.—Motion dis-
missed.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DUBLIN, Nov 20.

CRIM. CON.

BROWNE V. BLM E.

Mr; GOOLD, 0!) the part of the. plaintiff, moved
to set aside the verdict by the defendant in this
cause., •and that the issue in this cause may be re-
considered by another Jury, inasmuch as said
verdict was contrary to law and evidence, and to
the charge. of the learned Judge; and inasmuch
as the evidence given by the defendant, impeach-
ing and defaming the character of the plaintiff,
was given by surprise,, and not relevant to the
issue ; and which the• said plaintiff would have
been prepared. to refute, if he had been apprized
thereof.; .and also, inasmuch as one of the plain-
tiff's most material witnesses, altimagh duly served
with a subpoena to attend and • give evidence in
this cause, did not attend. thereon, through the
interference and procurement of the defendant.

Lord NoßnottY.—With regard to my charge, 1.
do most solemnly say, J did not charge either for
plaintiff or defendant :
,on• the contrary, 1 told
the Jury that it was entirely a Jury question, and
that I would not be dissatisfied at any verdict they
gave in.

Mr.
_GOLD here read the .material parts. Fie
said, although the defendant had been duly, served
with a copy of this affidavit, hel)as not answered
it to this hour. The scope of. the case was this :
It was an action brought by the plaintiff against
the defendant, Mr. Blake, for criminal conversa-
tion with his (the, plaintiff's) wifie. After the
plaintiff had
.examined his witness and ..closed his
case, the first witness examined for the defendant
was the Hon. Barry Bingham; he was produced,
not to throw. any doubt on the fact of the defend-
ant having defiled the plaintiff's wife, but he went
on the table to depose to ri certain conversation

that took place, between him and the plaintiff;
and the particular words, said the Learned Conn.:-
sel, I consider too. frightfully indecent to repeat
in a Court trf,Justice : but these words, if ac-
tually spoken by the .plaintiff, .should only go in
mitigation.of damages,. and could not defeat the
plaintiff's right of action. It was sweati by this
witness that this conversation took place in pre-
sence of the defendant's brother ; yet they did not
venture to produce this gentleman on the trial

the plaintiff now swears that he is credibly in-
formed, that the. defendant's. brother does • not
even assert a recollection of any such circum-
stance or conversation, and he is willing to abide
the event by the testimony of this very man.—
Whatever, said Mr. Gould, may be the ultimate

fate of the cause—whether the doors of Justice
will be closed.frually and for. ever against my un-
happy client, or whether 'his wrongs shall meet
with redress—l am glad this opportuni.y is: al-
fen-dedliim of putting on record his strong and.
positive contradiction to-a charge, which, if true,
would not merely cover the party with infamy,
but would amount to a national disgrace. He
swears that it is utterly and entirely false ; he
swears that he never, in public or private, either
to Mr. Bingham or any person, made use of the
expression stated and sworn to by that gentle-
man. He states that Mr. Bingham having been
called was a surprise ; and that had he been ap-
prized that Mr. Bingham would have been pro-
duced as a witness, he would have been prepared

to prove circontances that would disentitle his
testimony .to credit. Another fact, my' Lords,
continued Mr. Goold, of extreme importance, as
reflecting. on the evidence of Mr.. Bingham,' is
stated in Mr. Browne's affidavit, and .on which
he relies : it is thus :—He swears that Mr.

Bingham, on his' cross-examination, did posi-
tive assert that he was not then indebted to
Mr. Browne in any sum of money ; but he,
Mr. Browne, swears- that Mr. Bingham was then
actually indebted to him in a sum of 7391. 7s.
+sd. ; and he refers •. to an acknowledgment
for that SUM, in his possession. The:next witness
produced for the defendant was Mr.' Thomas Co-
neys, -a member of the Bar : and the plaintiff cer-
tainly speaks of his testimony, and the manner in
which he conducted himself in the transaction,
in terms of strong reprobation. He.states, that
Mr. Coney4 assisted.in preparing the. briefs in the
attorney's office, knowing that he would be called
on as a witness, and actually prepared the•brief
of his own evidence in the office of the defendant's
attorney; and further, thlit the evidence he gave
on the trial was materially• contradicted by the
testimony- of. another of defendant's vvitneiset.
-He swears that the witness is under the imme-
diate influence of the defendant ; that he did
nest directly or indirectly make use of the expres7
sions sworn to by him ; and that if his evidence
had not been given by snrprize, he would have
produced Ak. John D'Arcy, a-gentleman of large

fortune, and of the highest, respectability, at
whose house expressions were sworn to by Co'
neys to have been uttered by the plaintiff, to have
contradicted him. The next witness, was. a Mr,
Lyons, who took a very active part for the de-
fendant, and his evidence contradicted the testi-
mony of Coney. The next witness was apersolt
of the name of Tully, a writing clerk in the eta'
ployrnent of the fOrmer attorney, and active friend
of the defendant ; lie was produced for the tier
pose of impeaching the evidence of one .of the
plaintiff's witnesses, and came on the table dressed
up in clothes purchased fa him by the defendant's
friend, Mr. Clare. His conduct excited general
disgust. I recollect, said Mr. Goold, ‘a.
santry that fell:from your Lordship op the (Jew
sion.

Lord NORBURY.-1 beg, Mr. Goold; yow %via
not repeat it ; it • might have been good enough
at the time, but my stories don't hear repetition.
Mr. GOOLD.—Your Lordship is the only 411110
tharthinks 40. My Lords; Mr. Browne denies,
in the most unequivocal and most solemn manner,
the improper conduct and conversations attribuzea
to him, and with regard to his behaviour tou-a,idi
his wife, it is a remarkable' circumstance that all
the witnesses produced on the trial have ;Tilted in
this—that whatever might have been, his. folliet
.or improprieties, his affection towards his wife
was uniform, and his confidence in her was un
bounded. Under all the circumstance's of the
case; he said that justice would not be done if
this verdict were allowed to bland, and lie hoped
the Court would be pleased to order 11 neW
Serjeant Joy said, he would merely oppose Ibis
application, on the part of the oetendint, an the
ground of irregularity, wiihout entering into the
merits of the case. It was irregular, because this
was not the time for the party to make such ail
arplication. If the plaintdl was serious in look-
ing for a new trial, he should have come in be-
fore.

The Court decided, that the application waii
not irregplar..
Serjeant Joy then said, that he was not at that
moment prepared to resist the application, as hi
was merely instructed to oppose it on the ground
of•irregularity.
Tie Court granted a conditional order.
