LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tins DAY.)
HIGH LIFE.
WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

Mr. HORNE stated, that the Court would recollect
that, iu the course of the discussion of this ease, many
observations had been made in the affidavits, particu-
larly in the observations of Dr. Bulkley on the cha-
racter and conduct of Mrs. Bligh. That Lady (the
Learned Counsel continued) was a member of a most
respectable family ; and, in consequence of what had
passed in this Court, her attention had been particu-
larly drawn to the affidavits the result of which was,
that she felt it a duty to herself, to the cause, and to
the Court, to make the affidavit which he now begged
to hand to the Court.

Mr. HORNE then handed the affidavit to his Lord-
ship. His Lordship said, Mr. Wellesley has made a
long additional affidavit, in answer to the facts of the
affidavit I pointed out, which was delivered to me a
day or two ago, and I wish to know, Mr. Hart,
whether the other side is aware that that affidavit was
handed to me ?

Mr. HART.—Yes, my Lord, notice of if was
served upon them.
His LORDSHIP—Then When Mr. Shadwell comes
into court, I wish him to inform me whether Mr.
Pittman means to make any farther affidavit or not ?
Mr. HART.—My Lord, I have a letter delivered
to me from a distinguished member of the family, not
written to myself, but put into my hand, with a de-
sire that I would hand it to your Lordship; but in the
exercise of my judgment. I felt I could not do so.
His LORDSHIP.—WeII, if, Mr. Shadwell will give
me the information I have asked for, I shall give
judgment in the course of the following week.
Mr. HART.—The object of the letter I have al-
luded to was, I may state, representing that the esti-
mation in which Mr. Wellesley stands with the best
part of his family, is nut of the description which was
given to the 'Court.
His LonnsinP.---I should be glad to see any affi-
davit to that effect.

Mr. SHADWELL came into Court soon afterwards,
but made no communication to his Lordship.

N THE MATTER OY• SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER.

HiS LORDSHIP had considered whether there would
be any hazard material, with respect to the state of Sir
Gregory Page Turner, in gratifying his wish to be
brought before him, and that he thought there would
not be any hazard so material as ought to lead to a re-
fusal of the application ; therefore, if Sir Gregory
would, have the goodness to attend to-morrow at
eleven o'clock in the private room, he (his Lordship)
would see him there. If an Habeas was necessary
for bringing Sir Gregory up, his Counsel was to take
the order for it.
Mr. TRES/LOVE begged to hand in the list of wit-
nesses, whose evidence on the part of Sir Gregory
had been tendered and refused at the trial of the in-
quisition, which his Lordship had requested to be
furnished with.

His LORDSHIP received them, and gave in ex-
change to Mr. Treslove the letters he had promised
to bring down, which he requested to have returned
again after being read.
IN THE MATTER OP SYKES, &C. BANKRUPTS.
His LORDSHIP found it necessary to call for further
information in this matter.

Mr. HARRISON had represented in his petition
certain bills:of exchange as having been placed in the
hands of the bankrupts as deposits ; and then reason-
ed on what might or might not be the effect of con-
sidering them as discounted bills.
The case, as stated to the Court, left it to the
Court to decided whether they were to be considered
as discounted bills or deposits ; whereas, what passed
between the parties, themselves would have to tleter-
mine that point ; and therefore his Lordship desired
to have am affidavit, stating bow the entries of the bills
in question stand in the hooks of the bankrupts.
EX-PAItTE CiRIMSTEAD, IN THE MATTER or

HOWARD AND GIBBS, BANKRUPTS.

Mr. HonNE was instructed to ask when it would
be convenient for the Court to give judgment in this
His LORDSHIP said he would give it on any day
on which Mr, Horne and Mr. Montague would agree
to he in. Court.

Mr. IIORNE thought it would be better for big

Lordship to name a day.
His Lon OSH r P then said, he would appoint Tues-
day morning next l'or finally disposing of the matter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

DOW-STREET,—(Tuts DAY.)
Two fashionable, gay, easy looking youths, who
gave their names Henry Stevenson, of No. 12, St.
aul's Church-yard, and Henry boars, who described
himself as a Nothing, resitting No. 171, Regent-
street, were brought before Mr. HALLS, in custody of
Thomas Ford, and followed by a numerous posse of
constables, upon whom, it appeared, they had been
exercising their " slight of hand tricks," because the
officers of the law were ungenteel enough to interfere,
with the very silly • intention of preventing a breach of
the peace, and the breaking of divers and sundry boxes,
the property of Mrs. Baldey, and a female " friend,"
at their residence, No. 18, Ilussell-street, Covent-
' garden. •
The row was one of those:every 'tight occurrences,
which give so much honour and glory to Covent-gar-
den---t is ladies were 4, forty," if' they were not,, fair,"
and sufficient to lead to mischief, if not to love. The
constables were men careless of all the terrors of sticks
and stones—the culprits were apparently of those
upon whom honour and conscience would sit
like a loose garment, to be thrown off' at plea-
sure, and over whom the law has but little in-
fluence, until its severity is felt.

In their defence, they attributed their faults and fol-
lies to that enemy which, as the facetious knight says,
would sack a city ;" but they altogether dented
having given the blows, which appeared to have been
received by the pericranium of one of the officers.
The Magistrate, after commenting on the gross na-
ture of the offence, °Meted them to give twenty-fbur
hour's notice of bail—themselves in
two sureties in 501. each. 1001. each, and
