'NEW TIMES.]
It ;s quite edifying to behold The Times be-
stowing its castigation on the Whigs, and ,the
latter submitting so humbly to the Radical lash.

The following elegantly Curned•sentence is sup-
posed by . the Editor to he addressed by, some
person to the King They (the Whigs)
have recently shewu themselves so humbled
to your Royal wilt, that, after having pro-
tected the Queen upon the heinous charge
of adultery, they are now ready to sacrifice
her, because—yes, because---she is guilty of—
of—of—noticing Alderman Wood ; and of—
of—of—losing herself." Mrs. Slipslop herself
could.not have outshone this brilliant conversa-

tional style ;. and the taunt levelled at the Whig s
for their envy of ,Alderman Wood, is turned with
a felicity almo-st equal to that of the Worthy Al-
derman's own composition. On the other hand The
Durham Chronicle, the great organ of the Northern
Whigs, labours to avert the anger of the " Lead-
ing Journal" by the most flattering panegyrics on
the honourable and independent feelings which
have uniformly characterised the public labours of
the Editor of The Times," and on his " unre-
mitted and effective exertions in the catie of
freedom." These honied words do a little mol-

lify the great man's wrath ; and he is pleased
to admit that the article contained in The
Durham Chronicle is an " important " one:
and to sanction its perusal with, 4 4 We re-
commend it to general attention." An odd
circumstance, however, occurs. We find The
Durham Chronicle speaking of it as a matter
of general notoriety, that pending the Queen's
trial, the Government was twice offered to
Lord Grey!! To which the Editor of The
Times rather unceremoniously replies, that this

is a fact with which he " certainly was not
acquainted when he sat down to compose his
remarks." If the story be true, it is very odd
that it should have escaped the knowledge
of a writer acting under the impulse of Absolute
Wisdom ; and if the story be false, it is equally
strange that it should have found its way into
Mr. Lamhton's Chronicle, For our own part,
we confess our-scepticism inclines strongly against
the truth of the two offers, or, to speak rhore
candidly, we think it a complete bounce, a la
Times.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 31.

THE ZION. NEWTON rELLowEs AND SON V. TILE
EARL OF PORTSMOUTH AND OTHERS, TRUSTEES

OF HIS ESTATES.
Mr. HART moved the Court for a reference to
the Master, for the purpose of approving and
appointing a fit and proper person as receiver of
the rents and profits of the trust estates of the
Earl of Portsmouth ; and also that he, the Mas-
ter, might be directed to make farther inquiry,
and.appoint a proper person to act as overseer of
the estates in question, with liberty to cut down
timber, and receive the price for which the same
may be sold. It was also prayed that Mr. Mark
Swade might be removed from the situation of
Baillie, and that Mr. Young might also be dis-
missed from the office of receiver of the rents,
&c. The following is a brief summary of the
facts of the case :—The bill was filed by the
plaintiffs against the trustees, and the Earl of
Portsmouth as tenant for life of the several
estates mentioned in the pleadings some time
since. By the will of the late John, Earl of
Portsmouth, executed on the 17th of May, 1791,
it was provided that the present Earl of Ports-
mouth shou;d inherit for life both the English
and Irish estates of the testator, subject to cer.
tain annuities and legacies therein mentioned,
with remainder to his issue, but in the event of
his not having any children at his decease, then

the property was directed to go to his secom:
son, the Hon. Newton Fellowes and his issue
About 1700 the present Earl made proposals 'of
marriage to Grace Norton, (laughter of William
Lord Grantley, and fears being entertained of
his capability of managing his own affairs, a deed
was drawn up and executed by him, by which
he placed the sole management of his estates in
the hands of four trustees, viz. the Honourable
Newton Fellowes, Lord Grantley, John Garnet,
and John Hanson, who were at liberty to take
what measures they pleased for the benefit oithe
estate, and in the event of either of the trustees
dying, to nominate a successor in his room. They
were also empowered to place annually in the
English funds the sum of 6001. until an annuity
of 14,000/, had been secured, when they. were to
apply the surplus to the liquidation of the claims
against the estate, or in support of the Earl and
his family, and to make up their accounts every
year, on or before the 2,5 th of December. Shortly
after the execution of the deed, the nuptials were
solemnised, and one of the Trustees (Mr. Garnet)
dying, Mr. Justice Best fits appointei in' his
room. In the month of October, 1513,, the
Countess died, and shortly after the Earl married
the (laughter of Mr. Hanson, another of the
Trustees. From this time differences existed
between the Trustees, and Mr: Hanson had, in
some measure, the management of the estates, he
having acted both for the late, as well as the
present Earl, in the capacity of solicitor. It was
now alleged, that in consequence of the conduct
of Mr. Hanson, a receiver had become necessary,
and in support of the application, various charges
were brought against that gentleman. In con-
clusion, Mr. Hart expressed a hope alit the plea,
which he understood would be set up, nftmely,
that the reason Mr. 11. did not pay over, certain
monies was, that he had a bill of costs as solicitor,
which came very nearly to the amount of the
money he was said to owe to the estates, would
not be allowed as an excuse for his retaining it in
his hands.
Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. BELL were on the
same side.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. TRESLOVE
contended, that the deed must be taken, to be in-
• • validated at the death of the Countess) and the
