LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
MILLER V. ELKINS.

This case was further discussed. The principal
point arose upon a question against eight pounds
costs that had been allowed by the Vice-Chancel-
lor upon an application made to him by one of the
parties.. The subsequent costs had swelled the 8/.
up to 661. ' •

HIS LORDSHIP Said he would look into the papers,
but be - thought it very inconsistent that such dis-
cussions should take pl,tce upon stims so trumpery.

ItOBINSON V. HOLMICS.
The plaintiff here has determined to furnish this
Court with another suit. Not satisfied with having
had his motion dismissed on Friday last, by the 'Vim.
Chancellor, with costs, which had for its object the
issuing of an injunction to restrain the defendant
from following his calling of an Opposition Tailor,
in Beverley,Yorltshire,in the alleged breech (breach)
of his contract with the plaintiff, not. to commence
business there within 20 years.

Mr. HORNE, on his behalf, applied for leave to
give notice of a motion to be heard before his Lord-
sbip, in the nature of an appeal.—Leave granted.

DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. WELLESLEY.

Two petitions were presented in this case; the
first was on behalf of the infants, and prayed
that the Court would be pleased to order that the
boys should forthwith proceed to Eton college,
after the present summer vacation, ,under the ma-
t'agement and protection of their tutor, Mr. Pitt-
'Man ; that it might be referred to the Master,
to enquire and state what plan ought to be
adopted for the education of the boys ; and
What sum, and out of what fund, should be
allowed for their , education and maintenance.
The e Petition also prayed, that the female infant
laight be ordered to remain where she lately has
thi:en, in the hands of her aunts, until a proper
guardian of her was appointed; .that the Master
should be directed to inquire who that guardian,
should be, what plan of education should be adopted
for her, and what sum, and out of what fund, should
be allowed for her maintenance.
Sir C. -WETHERELL and Mr. SHADWELL appeared
on behalf of the children, and submitted that the
Court ought instanter to order the removal of the
boys.to Eton.

Mr. HORNE, for Mr. Wellesley, did not object to
their being sent to Eton, if it were necessary they
should be removed to that place ; but he objected
to the appointment of Mr. Pittman to go with them,
05 to have a governess Chosen for the female.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL observed, that the
eldest boy's clear income- was 9,000/. a year, and
"rely it could not be worth discussing whether two
or three hundred pounds should or shoUld not be
laid out for him and his brother having the advan-
tage of a private tutor, and especially for the sake
of having that very gentleman with them, who had
been considered by Mr: Wellesley himself, during
all his unhappy differences with his late wife in Italy,
France, and England, the judisumus nuns.
Mr. HORNE did not wish to'enter at present into
any discussion on the recommendations of Mr. Pitt-
man to be further continued the private tutor of the
children ; though he had now filled that' character
for five years, yet he (Mr. 1-10 submitted that the
Court ought not to clog the reference to the Master
with any direction to appoint that gentleman. The
Court could only send the children off after there
had been a reference.
His LORDsHlE'said, if he had felt hound to decide
to-day, what should be done on this petition, he
should have decided to send the children to Eton,
and Mr. Pittman to. have gone with them ; but he
thought it better to have some further information,
especially as that could be obtained by sending the
ease to the Master without incurring any delay.—
The order he felt
.disposed therefore, to make was,
to refer it to the Master to enquire and state the
ages of the children respectively; whether it was
fit and proper that the boys should be sent to Eton,
and if it was, whether any and what private' tutor
should accompany them ; what should be allowed
for their maintenance and education, and out of what
fund or funds that should Come; Counsel agreed
thisto •rts an order, upon the ground that the
Master was to proceed forthwith to make
the inquiry and his report, becayse it was ne-
cessary that the boys should be at Eton' by the
40th of September, if they went just now at all;
slid they also consented that the rest of the petition
(respecting the girl) Should ktand over.
His LORDSHIP assented to this, intimating that it
„Nv.ould be quite competenrfor any, party to apply to
Illm—or the Chancellor qf the day—immediately
after the Master had made his report for further
directions.
The next petition prayed that the' Master might
be ordered to inquire what mortgages and charges
Were upon the Wiltshire, Dorset, mid Yorkshire
estates, belonging to these children ; and that the
ne
•
.otne from the estates might be applied in paying
csff the incumbrances, according to their priority.
This was agreed to, and the- order made ac-
vordingly.

ESCAPE FROM PRlSoN.—Between one and
two o'clock yesterday, three prisoners confined in our
county gaol on different charges of felony, effected their
escape in the following manner ladder which bad
been in use in the process Of whitewashing the interior of
the prison had been left in the upper story, and whilst the
Work people were at dinner, the prisoners in that class,
who were locked in the day-room on the ground floor,
burst the lock from the door, and going up stairs, secured
one of the ladders and some of the sheets from the sleeping
cells, by which means they contrived to surmount the
deevaux de frize and make their way into the cuter yard.
When thus far, the ladder which they carried with them
afforded a ready method of scaling the boundary wall, and
bYtYing the sheets together, they easily :et themselves down
on the outside. The escape was instantly discovered, and
pursuit immediately made by the officers of the prison, who
Et first had the fellows in sight. They went over the
loch by the bridge, and made off between the basin and the
river, which latter, two of them contrived to (TOSS by
means of a boat which was moored to the bank, and thus
evaded their pursuers. The third, for the moment, con-
cealed himself in a withey-bed, where he was re-taken in
two hours afterwards. The two who are still at large,
again crossed the river at the Lower Parting, and have not
since been beard of, but as -active search is now making
for them, it is hoped they will soon be returned to their
old quarters. A fourth prisoner had reached the top of the
bantidary-wall, hut was discovered just in time to prevent
hi' dement. It will hardly be believed that though several
persona saw the felons running away, and beard the alarm
•gi.ven by the officers in pursuit, yet not one attempted to
ve the least assistance in stopping their progress. One'
