LAW INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS - DAY.)
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. •
At the sitting of .the Court- this morning the VICE-
*. CltaNcEr.Lou it aired whether any rule had been made
by the Master h lls, restricting the number of
Counsel who wer ployed upon any motion for a
new trial arising out of ue directed from the Court of
Chancery.
It was stated to his HONOUR, that the Master of the
Rolls had thrown out some remarks upon the subject last
night, to the effect that serious complaints were made of the
great expense attending the practice of having four Counsel
engaged upon applications of that nature, and that a rule
must be adopted which would compel parties who employed
too many Counsel, to pay the costs themselves, as extra
costs.

Mr. SUGDEN said, ,that he certainly should
,object to
any rule which would have the effect of casting a reflection
on the Chancery bar. It was well known that the
common-law lawyers, who attended upon applications for
new trials, confined themselves to the facts as they appeared
at the trial of the issue, whilst on the other hand, the
equity lawyers had to consider the effect which these facts
and the finding of the Jury would have on the question to
be ultimately decided: It would therefore, in his opinion
he highly inconvenient to restrict the number of Counsel ;
no rule to that effect had as yet been made, and he was sure
that the Lord Chancellor, • with that condescension which
marked his conduct, would listen to the remonstrance of
the Bar before he came to any determination on the subject.
The Vice CHANCELLOR said be should certainly make
no rule, unless it first received the sanction of the other
Judges; but as he bad beard of what had taken place is
the other Court, he took that opportunity of ascertaining
what the real fact was. . .

His HoNona. was engaged during the remainder of the
day in hearing causes upon further

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

BURGESS V. CAPTAIN FRENCH.—SELBY V. THE SAME.
These were actions tier slander, brought against Captain
Freed!, the Master of the Ceremonies at Margate..
Mr. BROUGHAM, with whom was Mr. emu r, ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and stated that the nature of the
slander which the defendant was charged with uttering,
was an imputation► that the plaintiff Burgess had commit-
ted an unnatural offence with Selby, the plaintiff in the
second cause.

The principal witness was a person named Jeremiah
Finnis, who deposed that lie was the proprietor of a lodg-
ing-house at Dane Hill, Margate, and that Mr. Martin
French was the Master of the Ceremonies in Margate. Mr.
French usually resided at Canterbury, but during the
season he resided at the witness's- house. Last February
the witness said he had entered into a contract to sell
the house to Mr. Selby, who was a gentleman of
fortune. Selby was acquainted with Burgess, who
was a lodging-house keeper and had a very large fa-
mily; and Mr. French, in reference to the letting of the
house to Selby, -distinctly charged .hina and Burgess, the
plaintiff, with an unnatural crime ; Mr. French also wrote
to witness remonstrating with him for having let his house
to a person of Selby!s character.-
On his cross-examination by Sir JAMES SCAKLETT, the
witness said that he had never heard any-reports Against
the plaintiff and Mr. Selby, until they .were mentioned to
him by the defendant himself, that he had made no imputa-
tion of the kind, and thatin.conversation with .Dr.- Jarvis,
of Margate, he had never made any allusion to the subject.
Dr. Jarvis was the next witness, and deposed that the
1 defendant had consulted him, as a ,resident of Margite,
what steps, lie as Master of the Cerenionies, ought to.take
in consequence of the reports abroad respecting- Selby and
Burgess—reports which the defendant stated he had beard
from Finnis. Dr. Jarvis said he had himself conversed
with Finnis on the subject, and Finnis did not make's any
allusion," but he made a direct charge against Burgess
and Selby.
Sir J. SCAILLETT put it to the Jury whether they could
credit the testimony of a person like Finnis, whose evidence
was directly contradicted by a person of so much respecta-
bility as Dr. Jarvis.
The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a
verdict for the defendant.
Mr. BROUGHAM said that after the course this case had
taken, it was a matter of consideration whether Finnis
should be prosecuted for propagating such diabolical.impu-
tations. lie therefore asked leave to withdraw the record
in the case of Selby v. French: -
Lord TasTEaDKN said the plaintiff was at liberty to
withdraw the record without permission of the Court.—
The record was then withdrawn.

TODD V. THE EARL OF wiNcirm.sfr.t•

Special Jurors Were in attendance, and
Lord TENTERDEN observed, that he was by no means
satisfied with the attendance of Special Jurors this Sitting,
and if it was not better the next Sitting, be should Fake
means to enforce it.

The case was then postponed till next Sittings.
The Westminster Sittings were then adjourned to the
27th October.
