LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 17.
IN THE MATTER OF SIR OREGORY.PAGE TURNER.
Mr. HORNE was instructed to- state that the Bedford M-
sizes were now over, and no traverse of the Inquisition had bean
tried.
The LORD CHANCELLOR never expected any traverge
would have been tried, notwithstanding all that had been said
about it.
Mr. HORNE had now, therefore, to move, that the caveat
might be ordered to be withdrawn; and that Mr. Corbett, who
had been permitted to visit Sir Gregory at pleasure, might be
restrained from having any more interviews with him, Sir t;.
Tuthill having declared his opinion to be, that it was the worst
thing that could be for Sir Gregory's mind that a continuation
of those interviews should be allowed.
His LORDSHIP desired the Act of Parliament to be brought
into Court to-morrow morning, and he would immediately pro-
ceed to do under it that which appeared just and proper to-
, wards the unfortunate individual.

HELLISH V. MELLISH.
His LORDSHIP had read over the whole of the papers in
this case again, and he felt he ought not to continue to retail)
such a large sum of money in Court as was in Court, being
the balance due to the plaintiff since he had attained the age
of
21 years ; and, therefore, unless the SolicitorGeneralething to say on the
part of the defendants (the guardians) had som'
:against it to-morrow motning, the COOTS, would older the
to be paid out.
WELLESLEY V. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT.
This cause again came on before the Lord Chancellor.
Mr. Haiti. commenced, by adverting to the contrasts of the
additional affidavits, which had been filed on the part of th
defendants, and those in answer to them, in which the alleged
immoral conduct of Mr. Wellesley, in introducing marred
woman into his house as the companion of his wife, tvivi
pletely denied; and it was also shown that his wife had Actually
introduced her herself, conceiving that she had been ill--
treated, and offering her every protection in her power.—
The Learned Counsel went through the whole of the
aflid
vita, commenting thereon as he proceeded, and also a serict •
of letters written by 11 r. Wellesley to his wife, with rePa
to the religious instruction that he wished his children of
f"
receive, and particularly that they should, for that PurPsf
read only the Bible, and the Book of Common Prayer, ".'"
though, in one of his letters, he had used an improper remark,
and had wished his son to become a bolder fox-hunter than
some gentlemen might wish their sons to be; still it did no
ht
render him unfit to have the care of his children, tot hom e
had always acted with th the greatest possible affction and re--
gard, and had, at the same time, expressed so much anxiety for
their religious welfare, although he might not wish th
de ated, m to re
that
ad
the religious tracts with which the country was is
his sons should be immediately placed at Eton college, and that
his daughter should be placed under the care of a holy, relate
to some of the Ecclesiastical Dignitaries, a Mrs. Wright, who
resided near Chippenham, who was willing to receive lter, and.
that he had made arrangements for such purposes. Ile con,
eluded a speech of nearly three hours' length, by observing that
it was a case with which the Court would not interfere. Ha
was anxious to chew that Mr. Wellesley WM% not only not not,
but that he never had been unfit to have the custody of his oft-
spring. Before he sat down he wished to say that Dr. Arnett,
whose name had been used in the course of the proceedins, was
anxious that it should be understood that whatever in:erterence
had taken place on his part was strictly professional.
Mr. HEALD followed on thesame side; but the. 1,01
• CHANCELLOR, interrupting the Learned Counsel, observed
he could not proceed any further with this matter to-play,"s
was obliged to go to the House of Lords.
