BARRISTERIAL consequence of
the. late affair which took place between Mr.
ANDaRws and Mr. ADOLPHUS, the Members of
the Home Circuit, to which these Gentlemen be
long, have taken the matter up seriously, as will
appear from the follnwing requisition, sent to Mr.
Serjeant ONSLOW, and signed by the leading Gen-
tlemen on that Circuit

" A statement having appeared in the newspapers of an
occurrence haring taken place between Mr. ANnurWs and
Mr. AnnLetins, and it having been suffered to.remain wholly,
unexplained and uncontradicted, we, the undersigned, feel
most strongly that that statement reflects upon the cha-
racter which ought to belong to every Cicntleinan of the Home
Circuit; And we therefore request that you will call a Meet-
ing of the Members of the Circuit, to take that statement in-
to consideration."

In onsequence of this, a Meeting of the Gen-
tlemen nil that Circuit will take place on the 29th
inst. at Chelmsford, in Essex.

DEATH of MAD.V,IF DE STAEL.--We yester.lay
mentioned the_ death of the celebrated AladaintrAe
STAeL HOLSTEIN, daughter of M. NECKAR,•
much distinguished before the French Revolution
fOr his financial talents. This Lady possesSed
high rank in the literary world, but seemed more
remarkable for felicity of wit, and sprightliness
of fancy; than purity, of taste or correctness of
judgment. Her observation was for the Most part
superficial, and like the generality of the French
philosophers, among whom she wished to be class-
ed, she mistook the glance of a moment fbr the
result of reflection, and clothing her hasty thoughts
in a kind of halt metaphysical, half sentimental
Jargon, was enabled to extend to others tile de-
lusion she had already practised on herself. Dor-
'jug her residence in Paris, her conversation was.
courted by every person of eminence, and her
house became a centre of attraction for all the li-
terary idlers of tls capital. She has let a Son and.
a daughter—the latter is married to the Duke. de
BuOGLIO.

Sitting Magistrates of one of the Northern Divi-

oath of a young Lady of high rank, niece to a.
Noble Lord, that she was verily afraid. that he
would carry her away front her uncle's Mansion,
against her will and the public peace, and
contrary to law ; he having followed her front
Bath, where he had first met her at the pub-
lic Assembly, and became so deeply enamoured,
that he immediately introduced himself to her
family, and on her returning to their seat, iii Suf-
folk, he took ul5 his quarters at au inn in the
neighbourhood, from whence lie embraced every
opportunity of -ob•ruding himself on her notice,
and which. laid her under the necessity of makiug
use of the means above resorted to for her own
security. He described himself as Captain in tile
Royal Fasileers, a uscive of Ireland, and nearly res.
lated to a Peer of that kingdom. He was reqiiir ed by
the Magistrares to find bail for the next Qaarter
Sessions, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 50/.

bourhood, this latter .requisition would have 'oc-

COURT OF ',CHAN( EHY, JtiLY 16.

SIR MARK %vow) V. etuvrrrii.

The -parties in,this case ltA had several trans-
actions in joint purchases of estate's. They had
purchased alt estate, East 11.1 ark, front Mr. Hicks
liet.ich, Sir Mark 'Wood having a(Wanced the mo-
ney, glid it having been agreed. that the .profits
should, in the first place, be applied to the repay-
ment of the purchase-money, and should then be
equally divided between them. They afterwavls
quarrelled, and each brought his .Action at law,
To end these litigations each agreed to withdraw
-F. juror, and to referiiie inat.ters in dispute to ar-
bitration ; bui.not ap,reeing on an arbiter, they
appointed two nominees, who chose Mr. Cox
arbitrator. lie awarded that the estate should
be sold, and-that the money advanced shorild be
repaid, to Sir Mark. Wood. Sir Mark Wood, iii
cousertuenee„signe4an order to Messrs, H.oggart
and Phillips to sell the estate,.hut Mr. Griffiths
refused to concur. The plan till then tiled this
hill to compel the specific performance of the
award.

Sir SAMUEL ROMTLLY, -Mr. LEACH, and Mr.
CooKE,.for the plaintiff, argued that the defen-
dana was bound by the award to concur in the
sale of the estate. Some question as to the title
to the estate had been submitted to the Deputy
Remembrancer of the Exchequer, who never re-
ported upon.it. The aiv.rd ordered that appli-
cation should be made to the Court of *Exchequer
for the sale., notl• if die Court refused, which it
did, then they should authorise Messrs. Iloggart
and Phillips; auctioneers, to sell their rights and
Interests in the estate, and they night -become
bidders at that sale. The Master of the Rolls
had accordingly de.rteed that the defendant should
co cur in the specific perfot manceof the award.
The defendant had appealed against .this decree,
and they therefore applied to hiS.Lordship to en-
'force pet Ito nance.
Mr. BART, for the deeendant, contended that
the Mastc:r of theltolis had taken butt a cursory
view of the award, or that the award contained a'
principle of great injustice ; and that there was
another objection, on the ground of the award'
implying the offence at common law called main-
tenance. If the rights and interests of the parties
were to he Jet to sale, while a good title could not
be made oat, with allowance to the parties to bid,
it was Oleo Only an option in favour of the plain-n
tiff, as he alone had money to advance. But the
award distinctly expressed' that, in either ease of
sale of tlie estate by order of the Exchequer, or of
the interests of the parties by Hoggart and Phil-
lips. it no title could he made out, then Mr. Cox
knew not what to award, The master theretore
never contemulated any sale without a title, and
be defendant was justified in refusing his concur-
retire, as the title was not yet made good: Tile
altervative of giving authority to the auctioneers
to advertise for six months was only pre,s•ciihed
as a means of making a title. In the case of,
Waters v. Taylor. which could not he mentioned
without exciting a laugh, the Master had ordered
a sale of an interest in the Opera House ;.but his
Lordship haul refused to sanction that decree, be-
cause the extent of the property was not de-,
fined. The same principle was applicable here, it
the.estate were to be set to sale wi.hout a title.

Mr. Gritlith,tor bitti;ell, argued that the Court
bad no jurisdiction, because -a rule at Sisi Plias
had been obtained in the King's Bench for con-
tempt of the award, and he had been acquitted :
but the main gromol of objection was, that if the
award wera, obeyed, the oti,:oce of maintenance
and.champerty %you'd be committVd. in proof of
this he referred to several Statutes. Many Ilk-
putes and, litigations were 'conitected with this
estate. The sale of it, therefore, was Mantle-
n'atice, and illr. Farquhar, who lately bought the
estate, was guilty of that otftnce.

Mr. LEACH observed, in reply, that Grif-
fit,h„ o9t. being,acquainted with the practice in a
Court of Equity (he is a Barrister in lit istol), had
not known that the sale that took place on the
Master's Decree, or the attii:les of it, was 'not
before his Lordship. The only question waP,
whether the Decree itself was right. Although
the Court might refuse assistance in carrying an
unconscientions- agreement into effect, it could
not refuse effect to the 'avarit of an arbitrator,
acting honevly. But the award was not liable to
the objections stated by Mr. Grit'nth ; besides,
Mr,Griffith-had netcd upon vrt of ihe award with
respect to ati9thi'Testate (ltumneY), and the pay-
ment of 1,250/. as to this estate. The answer as
to maitztenance wets,. in one word, ae-
iion themselves assignable, much mote pro-
perty on which they werv. I,,undtd,
LoRD CuANCELLOII said lie would tell on
AJonday morningWitendle would give judgment.
Mr. Griffith prayed the protection of the Court,
in the mean time, against a threatened attach-
ment for the expenses of preparing, the very deed
in question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR ;(1, notning of that
kind would be done till Monday.
In answer to a motion for an catty clay upon
another ease,• his Lordship observed, that there
were yet upwards of 700 bankrupt Petitions to be
heard.
