LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE.CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 16

310NKTON V. THE ATIORNEY-GFNERAI.

This case came helm e the Court on exceptions to
the Master's report. A person nairwd Samuel
Tiontbet'k, who had been bought tip in a
.charity
school at Wapping, and who after %winds
,became is
mariner,- had been shipwrecked in the Ge9ite Last
Wittman on the coast of Madras, and Was -Sup-
PO,O by his friends to have been lust. It appeared,
however,- that-lie survived, and fteetimidatetUa,very
large property in India; the.whble•of which he left
by his will for charitable purposes, declaring that
he had not it relation in the world. Persona c'atin-
.
ing ielationship to the deceased endeavoured to set
aside the will, which, upon the• heating of the cause
in 179,5, was declared to be invalid, so far as the
charitable bequests were concerned, iltid it was re-
ferred to the Master to refo-i.t Wlli3 Was'the next of
kits to the testator. • In 143j13 the: ,mitter, reported
that they who claimed beite.felated testator
had failed to make out their claim, anti that it did
not appear that there was any next of kin. Upon
this report, the property. appeared to fall to the
Crown; but other claimants come in,'
mu.- a second
reference was made to the Master; •who, in 18V,
reported that the new claimants had also failed to
make out relationship to the testator. The cause
now sate before the Court on exceptions to tins
report.
Mr.BICKEFISTETH (with whom were Mt. STARKIE
and Mr. KNIGHT) said, that the exceptions to the
report were founded on the Master's refusal to.ad-
mit as evidence, a narrative of the Troutbeck
drawn up by John Troutbeck. Without this narra-
tive the pedigree could net be made out.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL insisted that no depen-
dence could be placed on this narrative, which had
been proved incorrect in the most essential point.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought this document
ought not to be received, and that if it was, it would
not be evidence. He thought, therefore, that the
Master was quite right.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
DOLBELL V. WALSH.

This was an action brought. by the plaintiff, who
is an officer in the army, to recover from the defend-
ant the sum of 401., which be had obtained under the
following circumstances
The plaintiff has been for some time on half-pay,
and being desirous of obtaining au appointment
at full pay, as puymaste►• of a regiment, he
applied to the defendant to procure one for him.
It happened that about this period some differences
existed between the plaintiff and his wife, and they
were living separate. TIIP defendant wrote to the
wife for money, having previously said that he could
procure the appointment to the 93d or 97th-regiment-
In answer to his letter he received 40/., and not hay.
i tigeucceeded in procuring the appointment, the plain-
tiff, who has been since then reconciled to 11;s wife,
applied to have the money restored, but not getting
it, he was obliged to bring the present action.
Sonic witnesses were called, -and it appeared that
this money was paid out of the money which the
wife• had settled
,upon her by her father at her mar-
riage, over which the husband had no cont►oul.
When this fact came out, Lord TENTERDEN said
that the action could not be maintained in the name
of the husband, and a nonsuit was aLeutdingly
entered.

It should, however, be mentioned, that one of the
witnesses deposed that the defendant had said he
would repay the money upon receiving a.proper
order from the plaintiff's wife.

In this case,

_
which was Hot concluded when our paper went to
press, the Jury, after consulting together for half an
hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages

Great preparations have been made at Windsor
to commemorate his Majesty's taking possession of his
palace. A grand dinner will be given this day at the
Town Hall. The Castle Inn, where the Cabinet Ministers
in general stop on their excursions to Windsor, the other
inns, and the shops of the inhabitants generally, are to be
brilliantly illuminated.

The house in Pall-mall, which formed the
temporary Hell, while the larger one in St. James's street
wait ereetiag. has lately been taken by a gang of hbullegs
for the fraudulent purposes of French hazard.

Plain cotton cloths hare. been flat for some
time here, and reductions have taken place from 12 to 20
per cent. in the price of weaving, but there is still employ-
ment for good bands, and a good deal of plain goods con-
tinue to come from Glaigow•_.the difference in the etc/vase
of weaving more than balancing the additional expcnse of
agency and carriage. —Perth Courier.

The following
Pucci% of his account of the well-known
Cardinal Rub, the Neapolitan Minister, and one of his
satellites, appears in the Memoirs of Scipio de Ricci
" Cardinal /Win was an ambitious villain, destitute of
honour anti morality ; he was fertile in expedients for the
unprin-
cipled for hint. This ringleader saw and incited the work
of massacre, at least he neither condemned nor obstructed
it. The assurance of impunity,-the hope of plunder, pro-
projects; and no expedient was too
mi:ass held out by the Government, and superstitious hula-
ticism, all coneuntKl in filling his ranks with numet ous
followers. I shall only mention Cailtan Mammone, who
from being a miller became a General-in-Chief of the in-
surrection of Sara. This monster, the moat horrible,
perhaps, the world has ever seen, in the short space of two
months, and in a limited extent of territory, ordered 350
persons to be shot, whilst his satellites murdered at least
double the number. There was no end to the destruction
he caused by pillage, rape, and fire. His prisons were a
scene of horrors ; he invented new modes of tot tore, and
revived the forgotten, cruelties of Psocrustes and Alaxen-
tins. His thirst for Inman blood was so insatiable, that
he drank it as it trickled from the wounds of his murdered
victims, and I who am note writing (says Cuoco), I myself
have seen him drink his own blood them an opened vein,
and ask eagerly for the blood of the sick. His dinnek
table was furnished with a human bead, still reeking with
blood : and he drank out of a human skull. Such was
the brutal monster whom Ferdinand addressed by the title
of General and Friend."
