THE COUNTY OF ROSCOMMON.

This hitherto peaceable county has, we•are sorry
to state, .latterly been disgraced by murders, rob-
beries, nightly meetings, and swearing in asso-
Ciates. It is Our painful duty to record the fol-
lowing atrocious murder, committed upon a re.i
spectable Gentleman, Mr. H. St. George, brother
of Sir Richard St. George, of Mount Equity,
about two miles from Bullydangan, .where the
unfortunate Gentleman resided. The particulars
have been couirromicated by a ft iend, in a letter,
dated.Athlonee, Nov. 2 :---

" I waited to.a late hour yesterday, in the hope
of being able to give you a correct statement of a
most disgraCeful outrage, committed, I tuAy say,
its our neighbourhood, at Mount Erptity, last Sun-
day night, so early as eleven o'clock. Mr. Henry
,St. George, who lived at Ballydangan, dined on
Sunday -last with Lis brother, Sir Richard, in the
Woo.l at Mount Equity, where were some other
ft lends. On leaving his brother's an old and trusty
steward:saw -him out of the gate,- locked the iast
one, and had not proceeded more than a feW yards,
when he heard a-shot, and a loud scream followed;
the night was so uncommonly light, he easily disco-
vered that Mr. Henry St. George was dismounted
near the gate ; lie ran quickly, and found him al-
most lifeless, lying over a man who was in a taint;
he llten hastened to a near cabin, and sent off for
Sir Richard, WhO, •itl) another Gentleman, came
up, but only to see him expire, ..vithsout uttering
a word. The poor fellow's body was brought to
his brother's, whet e he had left, in perfect health
add spirits;but 20 minutes before.
could have been the cause of this vile
assassination, cannot be conjectured; and though-
it is now late in the day, I have not learned the
parrticitlars of the inqiiest, or know any thing,
save that suspicion tails upon Iris brother's te--
nantry, to whom he was very lenient, as agent,
besides assisting the poor, even beyond hi, abilities.,
will) food and raiment ; his charitable and bene-
volent disposition came within my knowledge
ofteo,:when in that part of the country. At the
time the typhus fever raged, I have knowo him
to visit the poor sick in. the houses their clergy
would not venture into, 'administer their medi-
cines, and watch over them night atter night ;
but* all, it seems, did'nOt secure him from the rc-
seritthent of people."
tistMoiiii,iy night week, twelve men, armed,
attiickeettbe hoOSe of a farmer named Grady, near
Kilpeacon, and 'after breaking into it; took away
a musket and some powder ; they also attacked
three_ other hous'es, near. Croon!, on the same
night, in—Which they likewise obtained some fire-
arms.--(Linieric'k chronicle.)
Tu coMpliaoce with the request of twenty•seycn

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 11.

THE ROCHESTER CHARITY.-JUDGMENT.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FULLER.

The LORD CHANCELLn/1 this tor:ming made
some observations. on this singular ease, which
stood for indolent in his Lordship's paper.—
After referring to the several petitions which Were
at present before the Court, and adverting to the
original application of the charitable fonds be-
quenthed by Sir John Haywood, in 1736, he pro-
ceeded to review the proCeedings in .this cause
since it was first instituted, in the year 1791, and
a detail of which will be found in THE Sine of
Satutday last. On alluding to the application
made by the defendant for the transfer of the
Charity from Rochester to Creditor), he remarked
that on this petition the Court had certainly inis
carried, because, when it sanctioned this change,
its attention had not been directed to the consi-
dpfAi,n whether such change was consistent wit Ii
the original deed of trust. This miscarriage had
keen the consegnence of neglecting an ancient rule
of the --Court, which was uniformly acted upon
when Lord Thorlow and himself were at the bar,
and which had never till late years been' departed
-from--sonmely,.that the Court should never make
an (oder in a Charity case till attention of the
.Attorney-General had been drawyr to the subject.
In 1507. the matter had come or before hintself ;
and finding that the, large work•house which had
been established at Creditor], could not be done-
away with, without subjecting the many objects
of that Charity to the utmost distress ; and anti.,
tainingt4ba3„there -was another Charity at Credi-
ton, 'tfte Bends of which could, agreeably to the
trust, be applied to ;the payment of the annuity of
501. to the parish of Si. Nicholas, in Rochester,.
he had ordered the surplus of this. auxiliary fund
to be so applied. This fund, howeVer, Whiclrcori-
sisted of certain' tithes,' bad 'ceased to be so pi 0-
ductive as formerly, and there was no longer any
surplus that could he spared to pay thi; annuity to
Rochester. His Lordship said he should ',riod
to both parties minutes of'what he thought ought
to be done with tespect to this charitable founda-
tion at Crediton, so as not to disturb the poor
objects who were at present in the work-house,
and at the same time make such a provision as
would render,the payment of the arrears, and the
annuity of 501. to Rochester, independent of the
auxiliary fond. In this matter, Lord Loughho-
rough, Lord-Erskine, and himself, (but Lord Ers-
kine certainly the least of the three) were much to
be blamed for not having directed the attention of
the Attorney-General to the subject when it was
before the Court.

Mr. NI A RTIN:—The order in 1805 was not made
by your Lordship.
Loan CUANCELLOII.—I am glad of it. I have
grown old in the administratimi of justice; and I
will say, as I have often before had occasion to
remark, that no Judge can do justice without read-
ing all the papers in a case.

CARDELL V. YOUNG.

In this case an application was made for an In-
itltlttion lo restrain the defendant from carrying
on any business as an Attorney, but in the name
of Messrs. Cordell and Young," and also to
restrain hint from so carrying on business at any
other place than Gray's Inn, without the concur-
rence of the plaintiff. The parties are eminent
Attorneys, residing as above. Tice defendant,
who had formerly been a clerk to the plaintiff and
his father, (deceased) had been, from his skill,
industry, and strict attention to business, taken
into partnership with them, and now, as it was
alleged, wished to carry on " his own proper bu-
siness" for his own bent fit, and to receive a share
of the joint conceit] of the plaintiff and himself.
The LORD CHANCRLLOR (atter hearing Mr.
:Hcald, Mr. Wingfield, Mr. Coe, the Attorney-,
General, anti Mr. Hone) strongly urged the ne-
,cessity of the, parties arranging tl►e,ir differences
between themselves ;,at the same time intimating,
that if this were not done, he should be under the
necessity of making observations with respect to
it that_he wished to abstain from. His Lordship,
in conclusion, ordered it to stand over till to-
morrow (Friday) se'nnight for that purpose.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 11.

PROCEEDINGS AT MANCHESTER.

The indefatigable Mr. Hunt was present in
Cont.! during the proceedings of this (1,1; Hod as
soon as the Grand Jury left the Corn t, he 'also
retired for the purpose of consulting his Attorney-
general, Mr. Bryant, and a few chosen friends,
as to the proceedings to. which the following state-
ment relates

Shortly after the Grand Jury had retired to
their room they returned to the CoUrt, all the
Judges being then present, their Fotemita bolding
an indictment in his hand. He sta•ed that :his
indictinen't related -to events which•bad oceti-
red•at Manchester.

11Tr. 13r,Eivr, the Clerk of the Grand Jurie.,
said, that it was an indictment for perjury. No
part of the alleged offence was committed in Mid-
dlesex ; and the Grand Jury' wished to ascertain
from the Court whether they ought to proceed to
examine witnesses ?

The indictment was against James Platt, for
pet jury, in having sworn, before the Manchester
Magistrates, on the 27th August last, that on the
16th jatnes Moorhouse was on the hustings, wav-
ing his hat, &C.

Mr. Jastice BAY LEY replied, that in this ca.,e
.they had no j‘aistliction ; they had jurisdiction
only as to offences- which had occurred in the
county of Middlesex.

3UHYMAN--Your Lordship said something
about our powers in cases happening out of the

Mr. Justice BAYLEY—There are some Acts
which give Gland Juries extra powers, but only
in certain cases, at which happen out ot the
county ; but perjury is not one ot those cases.

The Grand jury again retired to •their •room,
when Mr. Hunt sent another indictint to them.
It was -act indictment (as we were intormed)-
against
William Carlton, for cutting and maiming
the boy, William Leigh. They continued con-
sidering it for some time, and sent for the Acts

tnuehring iLeir prayers, but 07entuaiiy-they again
appeared in .Court for farther iwsiloclions.

The CLatac Staled. that anot hi r indictment had
been kid before the Grand Jure, connected with
ate Manchester events. It contained a charge of
cutting and maiming, on the 16th of: August,
dt Manchester; it was preferred tinder Lord El-
lenborongh's Act (43 G. 3, c. 68) ; it was entitled,
like the former indictment, " England to wit,"
and the Grand Jury wished to know whether they
could and- ought to proceed in the examination
of witnesses?
Mr. Justice BAYLEY 'called for the Statute in
question, 'and examined. it. •He said- he had
particularly looked at the 43d Geo. 3. ch. 68,
on which this indictment proceeded ; and it gave
the Grand Jury.no ptiWer'to prOce, , where the
alleged offence was not committed ‘within their
own county. They bad no jurisdiction here
they could not proceed with, or find any such bill.
The Grand Jury again retired ; bur, we under-
stood; there were no more Manchester indict-
ments laid before them.
Mr. Hunt came into Court to see the result
of the last conference of the Grand Jury with
the Court.
