LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tms DAY.)

WELLMAN V. HOWRING.
A Pitityln this cause hoped the Lord Chancellor
would excuse his taking the liberty of reminding the
Court of an appeal heard long ago.
His LORDSHIP.—Veiy well, Sir, if you will hold
your tongue you shall have your judgment. The
oftener you ask for it the less likely you are to get it.
Party.---I, hope your Lordship will let me have it
soon, for I have been waiting here a long time from
my family.
His LORDSHIP—I have not forgot it, Sir, but if
you think' things are as easily settled as you may ima-
gine, you are mistaken.
Party--Thank your Lordship. Judgment in this
case has certainly, like many other cases, been for a
long time pending, but his Lordship has mentioned it
at various times ; and this party having been a constant
attendant in court since long before the appeal was
heard, and having often asked for judgment since the
hearing,. probably was the cause of the Chancellor's
telling him that the oftener he asked for it, the less
likely he was to get it.
LUNACY PETITIONS.
Mr. at the rising of the court yesterday,
asked permission to mention a lunatic petition.
His LORDSHIP said he would take the petition
and read it, but he would not hear a word upon it
then.

'Mr. KOE made a similar application, and his
Lordship said the same to
Shim.
This morning his Lordship said he had read both
petitions, and he wished Mr. Koe also to read the
one he had presented; because that petition, amongst
other things prayed the court to order all costs, charges,
and expenses, to be paid out of the profits of the luna-
tic's estate, in the absence too of the trustees.
Mr. Kok; said, he was just going to say, that the
petitioners did not desire to have any order on that
Part of the petition.
[Query, why should the Court have been troubled
to read and consider a prayer, which, if it had been
granted, might have been of vital importance to the
lunatic's estate, when Counsel could, with the utmost
sang froid inform his Lordship, after he had devoted
his time 'and attention to it, when he, who drew that
prayer, nOr'the parties, ever wished to 'have that prayer
granted 'l]
His LORDSHIP granted the other part of the peti-
tion ; and also the prayer of the other petition, that
the Master's report might be. confirmed.
WYNNE v. JACKSON.--GAMBLING.
• This is a case that has been more than once before
the public, and the subject of which arose out of a
gambling, transaction.
Messrs. SUGDE.N and GIRDLEsTONE,
(tin., ap-
peared on this occasion for the plaintiff, an Messrs.
BORNE and SPENCE for the defendant. The motion
Was partly made yesterday, and partly to-day ; and the
facts, as we could collect them, were to the following
effect :—Early in the year 1820, Mr. Wynne went to
dine with Col. Calender, Col. Charity, and a Mr.
Fleming, at a house in Bryanstone-square ; after
dinner, and as the Champagne passed round,
fa
theshionablt;s sat down to whist, the result of which
was, that Mr. Wynne only lost the trying sum of
6,000/.1 He had not the. money to pay this debt of
honour, but he gave his bill to the amount of 2,0001.
to Colonel Charity; as his share of the winnings. This
bill subsequently got into the hands of Mr. Jackson.
At afuture period the bill was renewed, and for the
original bill two or three others were given. Mr.
Wynne went to France, where Mr. Jackson took pro-
ceedingS for the recovery of the money ' • but it ap-
peared that' he- had gone to the wrong Court, that
Court not having jurisdiction, and. therefore ,the pro-
ceeding; there were dropped. Mr. Jackson then
brought his action in one of the Courts in London.—
A bill was filed by Mr. Wynne to stay the proceed-
ings at law. Upon the money being brought into
Court, the injunction was granted. Upon the de-
f.endant's account he stated, that he was a stock broker
I_ll the city ; that Colonel Charity having been in-
debted to him for 1,3001., ,the Colonel put the 2,0001.
bill into. his hand to get money for it ; out of which he
iwas to pa himself, and let'the Colonel have the be-
e also stated that he had paid Colonel,
Charity sums of money at different times; but
that he kept his books in such a way,. hat he
,co,iuld not state when, for what, or what sums.
'1 he cause came on to be heard in the Court below,
and tho Vice'-Chancellor dismissed the bill, on the
ground that the plaintiff did not prove his allegation
that the whole was a gambling transaction. The
parties who were present and examined, did not say
a syllable about the gambling.
His HONOR was subsequently moved for an order,

the g it to lave the question between
e parties tried at law.

His Lonns HIP considered that when money was
lodged in Court, it was deposited there in the shape
of a security ; but it might change its character of se-
curity into that of payment at the hearing of a pause ;
and lie considered this case to depend -entirely, upon
this—whether, regard being had to the proceedings in
this Court of equity, the 'lattice of the case, d the
conduct-of the parties, there was not here a call an
upon
the Court in in its decree to have sent this to law ; or
whether, on the other hand, the parties were not to
be considered as having put themselves into the hands
of this Court, to decide both the law and equity be-
tween them ? The Vice-Chancellor had orarr.
ed the money to be paid over to the titt.
fendant; When money was deposited in Court,
ond at per that money laintiff's bill dismissed, the Court could
riot order to the plaintiff, nor could
it order it to be paid to the defendant, unless it ap-
peared on something
before the Court that the de-
fendant was entitled to it as his money. Now having
looked into the . orders
,that had' been made in this
case, having observed What was not admitted in point
of proof, having attended to what was stated in point
of tliscovery, and havinglooked at the whole of the
Va'Se) it did appear to his Lordship that there was no
such danger of the money being got back again, if
upon the hearing of an appeal it should be ordered to be
brought back, that he ought to keep it from getting
into the pockets of Mr. Jackson, who had not been
Stated to be inseNent. Putting himself entirely,
therefore, upon what had taken place in this Court,
and at law, upon the- conduct of the parties them-
selves, and upon the nature of the ease, his Lordship

did confirm the Vice-Chancellor's order, directing the
Accountant-General to pay the‘money to the defendant.
Mr. SPRNCX asked for the costs of this motion.

His Lordship considered this motion to come on in
the form of an appeal, and that therefore 101. costs
ought to be given. The public were but little aware
of the vast number of appeals that were heard and
disposed of in the, shape of motions of this kind.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT--(Tuts DAT).
The Court was occupied this morning in hearing
motions of no public interest.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.--(Tats DAT.)
Henry Butler, steward to a ship, applied to be dis-
charged from a debt of 26/. ; he stated that he had
been afflicted with a fever and ague for several months
past, and had no other means of support during that
time but the produce of his wife's industry ; that he
had offered a bill for the payment of the, present debt,
after his return from the next voyage, but it was refused.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked him what means
had he to defray the expences of the present petition.
The Insolvent said, that the attorney paid the ex-
pence out of his own pocket.—He was discharged.
John Kyan, a wine-merchant from Cheltenham,
was brought up,
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER having examined his
schedule, read from it the following remark made by
the insolvent, viz. attribute my insolvency to the
fact of having been supplied with inferior wines by my
creditor, No. 2. Mr. Cook said that the cause of the
insolvency ought to be erased from the schedule, after
some observations from the Chief Commissioner, the
insolvent was remanded until the 4th of August.
Charles Elliott being brought up, W. ,Spenser,
the Keeper of the new Debtors Prison stated, that lie
had received an order in the afternoon of yesterday to
bring up the insolvent to-day ; subsequent to which he
received his discharge from the detaining creditor, and
as be thought it was irregular he brought the prisoner up,
The Clime COMMISSIONER censured the spiteful
conduct of some vindictive creditors, who, in several
instances, for a debt of a few shillings keep a debtor
for seven or eight weeks in prison, until the fees
amount to a considerable sum, they then send the dis-
charge of the debtor, having gratified their spleen by
putting him to expellee which, in many cases, he is
unable to pay. After a few suitable observations the
insolvent was discharged.
Mark Marks, a slopseller from Romford, was op-
posed by Mr. Richardson, an attorney. Being exa-
mined by Mr. Cook on behalf of the opponent, he
' said' that he had been in the King's Bench Prison
since November last, had been part of the time unwell,
had made some money in prison by selling milk, and
letting out his room, which enabled him to support his
wife and seven children.

Samuel Levi also appeared to oppose him for a
debt of 2601. The insolvent, he said, had induced
him to buy some slops for him, and accept bills to the
amount of the debt. After he had' been arrested for
one of the bills, the prisoner sold all the property that
was in his shop, came to London, and rendered to an
action, in which witness was his bail. Under these
circumstances he hoped the Court would nut discharge
him. But the Chief Commissioner was of a different
opinion, and said he did not see sufficient grounds for
detaining him.—The indictment was discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tms DAY.)

John Sanders and George Gaskins were brought
before the Sitting Magistrate, charged with stealing a
large quantity of stone-masons' tools, the property of
Mr. Cubitt, the builder.

It was stated in evidence, that the prisoner Gaskins
went about eight o'clock this morning to a marine-
store shop in Great Warner-street, Clerkenwell, and
asked if they bought tools. On, being answered in
the affirmative, he went out and returned in about an
hour, accompanied by Sanders, who produced nine-
teen stone-mason's chisels, and sundry other tools, for
which they received 2s. 4fd. Immediately after they
had quitted the shop Mr. Cubitt's name was disco-
vered on the various articles, and a constable was sent
for, to whom a desoription of the prisoners was given;
and they were found about ten o'clock at the Red
Lion, in Rosomon-street.
After some observations from the magistrates, on
the facility with which such articles could be disposed
of, and a censure of the conduct of the purchaser, the
magistrate asked the prisoners if they had any defence
to offer ?

Both prisoners declared they found them under
some straw, in Wilmington-square, about 7 o'clock.
They are both well known to the police, and were
fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(Tuts

A pretty-looking girl, named Ras' hut Osborne, was
ckarged by a fashionably-dressed young man with
" shaking and fighting, and scratching and biting,"
him. On being asked his profession, he, with an air
of great parade, drew a card from his pocket, and
presented it to Plank, who read with a pompous air,
to the amusement of all present, " James Acus,
chimney-sweeper and nightman." All eyes were now
fixed on the hero of the brush, who wound up his
oration, by adding, that she was perpetually " hunt-
ing him up.
The prisoner, with an air of perfect intimacy, re-
proached him from time to time with " you know you
struck me, Jem. This, however, Jem denied, and,
in answer to Sir G. Farrant's enquiries, denied also
having lived with her, but acknowledged her as an in-
timate acquaintance.
The watchman here charged her with "bating" him
in a most unfeminine manner ; in reply to which she
charged the watchman with having shoved her ; but
he solemnly declared that he had never shoved a
woman in his life.
Sir GEORGE—WeII, if you will promise not to
hunt this gentleman any more, and can make it up
with the watchman, I shall let you god—The watch-
man replied, that "he did not want a bit at all of
her," and the fair Rosins was discharged.

During the ancient days of Welsh
Royalty, among
the twenty-four ranks of servants that attended the
Court, was one called ~ the King's feet-bearer." This
was a younggentleman whose duty it was to sit upon
the floor with his back towards the fire, and hold the
King's feet in his bosom all the time he sat at table,
or keep them warm and comfortable.
An unhappy
occurrence took place at Dover on
Monday. J. Durtnall, in consequence of family dis-
agreement, which has existed for some time, in an
agony of mind,
,t/
attempted to put a period to his exist-
ence. He deliberatook a pistol, and, failing to
procure slugs, cha!ge the piece with a stone, and
placed the muzzle in his mouth. The contents of the
pistol went out at the right cheek, and left him much
lacerated and incapable of speech.
however, that hopes are entertained of his recovery.--

THE HARVEST.

The hay harvest in Monmouthshire is now nearly com-
pleted, and the wheat harvest is generally commenced,
with every prospect of a full average crop, remarkably
clean in the straw.—Cambrian.

A fine piece of wheat, of above 30 acres, in the old park
of Gwerney-Cleppau, near the turnpike-road at Tredegar,
the property of Sir Charles Morgan, was cut this week
by the worthy Baronet's own labourers, about 60 in num-
ber (male and female), who were plentifully supplied with
cwrw, and an excellent dinner of roast and boiled meat,
with plenty of plum-pudding, each day beneath the foliage
of the broad spreading oaks in the field.--Cambrian.
The wheat harvest has commenced very generally in
this neighbourhood, especially between Southampton and
Romsey, and, as far as the crop has fallen under our obser-
vation, it is above an average one; the ears are large and
tolerably full. All other descriptions of produce present a
blank.—Hants Telegraph.
The harvest is unusually early in the South of Devon,
it having already commenced in that district. The price
of hay is extravagantly high.. An old Devonshire adage
says, " A dry summer never begs its bread.---Sherburne
Mercury.
The harvest has generally commenced in this neigh-
bourhood (Sherburne.}
Every sort of spring crop will
be very deficient, particularly beans and peas. A few
fields are already gathered in, an& prove a very light
burden.—Sherburne Mercury.
The wheat harvest has this week, as we expected, com-
menced generally in the neighbourhood of Aylesbury ;
and the crop was never- finer or more plentiful, either in
corn or straw. In peas there is almost every where a
failure.—Bucks Chronicle.

It is feared that the heavy rains that have fallen within
the last few days will materially injure the standing crops
of wheat,' which the late dry weather had rather prema-
turely ripened.—Macclesfield Herald,
Harvest has commenced in several parts of Cornwall.
In Meneage both wheat and oats have been cut—our
correspondent says, the grain is in general very fine.—
Plymouth Journal.
In Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, and Glamorgan-
shire, the wheat looks remarkably well, and in the opinion
of several experienced farmers, is more than an average
crop; its quality is excellent. The hay is short, but
good; a few more showers, and there will be no want of
after-grass. Upon the whole there is more cause of con-
gratulation than despondeney.—BrittolJournal.
Thursday morning forty shearers were forwarded by
Mr. William Thompson, of the Bell-street flesh market, to
an extensive farmer in East Lothian, who wrote him that
his crop had all got ripe nearly at the same time, and that
no bands were to be got there, the people not being pre-
pared for a harvest that was nearly a month earlier than
usual.—Glasgow Courier.
WINCHESTER, JULY 20.—The harvest has generally
commenced here under the most auspicious circumstances.
The turnip crops are few and partial, but the barley in ge-
ral looks well. The price of cattle is improving.
