TASTE IN CONVERSATION.

His words
(Which are the shadows of his gloomier thoughts)
Are dark and hideous. His loud brazen tongue
Toll'd death into my ears. He prosed on graves,
Bed-rooms of marble, writ all round with lies,
And how the spider (who is the earth-worm's slave)
Hides a cold king the while his lord's at supper.
There's nought so horrid (not in a glutton's dreams)
But he did run on—heaving up the mould
Of coffins, and unbaring shrivelled bosses,
Then plunged he through the sea, and lazar-house,
Plucking swoll'n bodies up and leprous limbs,
Till ev' my stomach sickened. Death upon him!
His taste is like a Ghoul's. LIT. Gar.

The Quarterly Review states, "We are
happy to learn, as this is going through the press, that
India is about to be divided into several separate,dioceses."

Mr. Raikes and the Earl of Sefton, quizzing
Rogers on his love of Italy, said, in allusion'to the preva-
lent fashionable vehicle of the present day, " You must
delight in the Phalan, it reminds you so incessantly of the
Po.' " You might add," said the retorting bard, " that
my remembrance of an Asiatic stream is renovated, when
I have the happiness* to meet both you."--" How so ?"
said the twain Adonisas. " Why," said Rogers, " when
I see you both together, I invariably think upon the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY-MARCH 24.
EX-PA RTE INJUNCTION.-DEACON V. DEACON.

Mr. HORNE moved for an order to remove Mr. Cull
from further acting, as the receiver- of alarge Brewery in
Portsmouth, in which the family of the Deacons were inte-
rested. The Learned Counsel stated that it was necessary
he should, make this motion before his Lordship, ss'it in-
volved the point of jurisdiction, whether or not, the
Court could interpose upon an cx-purrs a;, ~lication
to turn one of its own officers out of office, or to restrain
him from acting. He felt satisfied, that if the facts he had
now to detail were alleged in a bill against a stranger, and
'verified by affidavit, the Court would have no difficulty •in
interposing; and he trusted, for the due safety of property,
his Lordship would grant the application even in the
' present case. In the course of this cause, several
persons had been appointed, from time to time, as ma-
nagers and receivers of the brewery, and amongst those
Mr. Cull. It appeared to Mr. Deacon, the principal
party, that the business had been neglected by Mr. Cull,
and in the course of last year lie agreed to submit his ac-
counts, &c. to the inspection of Mr. Blake, an attorney.__,
That Gentleman was to examine all parties upon oath. He
proceeded with his inspection, and, from the affidavit of
Mr. Deacon (the Learned Counsel said) confirmed by that
of Mr. Minchin, the attorney, it appeared that the-receiver
had been extremely negligent, fraudulent, and dishonest ;
that he was a debtor to a very considerable amount to the
concern,; that he had not passed his accounts regularly ; that
he had sold large quantities of malt, as if it had been Itis own,
'and charged a profit upon it ; and that he had dealt fraudu..
lently with the accounts, charging, for instance, sums of
money to have been paid into the hands of the bankers, at
times when no such sums had been paid. Mr. Horne
then added, that he was prepare,' to read the affidavit
which corroborated these facts, should the Court please to
call upon him to do so.
The Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that if the Learned
Counsel assured him that if such facts were on affidavit,
Le need not take the trouble of reading it.
Mr. HORNE pledged himself that they werg.
His LORDSHIP then desired to know what the object of
the application was.
Mr. HORNS said the object was to have en order for the
removal of Mr. Cull ; but, that if the Court could not do
that, to have an Injunction to restrain him from acting.
His LORDSHIP ordered an Injunction to issue, testi aining
Mr. Cull from acting as Receiver, until the further order
of the Court, with liberty for him to apply to dissolve the
Injunction whenever he pleased.
