TfIE THEATRES.

PADDINGTON VESTRY.

FOR THE SUN.

Mr.EntTon,—l request you will have the good-
ness to insert this answer to a statement copied
into your Paper on the 20th instant. It is there
said that Mr. THATCHPR had discovered that I
had not accounted for 500 loads of gravel sold to
the Harrow Trust, in the year ISI I, and that he
succeeded in obtaining a Committee to inspect
my accounts. Such Committee (consisting of
five Members, three of whom were named by Mr.
THATcum), having met this morning and inves-
tigated the business, has made a Report, which is
to be presented_ to the next Vestry, viz. that Mr.
SHILL had duly accounted for the said 500 loads
of gravel, and to the satisfaction of the said Com-
mittee.. I am, Sir,

Your most obedient servant,
Paddington Green, July 24. WM. SHILL.

P. S. As Mr. THATCHER was present in Vestry
at the settling of those accounts of the year 1811,
it cannot add to his credit, to say the least of it,
that he brought such a charge against my cha-
lacier.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 27.

QUEEN MAL

WESTBROOK V. EHELLEY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR this morning handed
certain proposali which had been made by one of
the parties in this case to Sir S. RomILL, and
observed that he had altered them as he had
thought expedient.

THE OPERA-HOUSE.
The endless dispute between 'Messrs. Waters
and Taylor, of the Opera-house, occupied a great
portion of the sitting of the Court. From 'some
misunderstanding bet weep the Counsel, as to the
exact grounds on which the point in discussion
ought to rest, the Chancellor deferred his judg-
ment. The question was, whether a sum of 5,0001.
which had forMerly been paid into Court by Mr.
Taylor, should be repaid on account of a deduction
to that amount having been made out of the pur-
chase-money which Mr. Waters had deposited,
which it was contended was in fact a second pay-
ment on the part of Mr. Taylor ; %bile fur Mr.
Waters it was contended, that the purchase-money
not wholly belonging to Mr. Taylor, the deduction
could not be considered as referring to him solely.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JCLY 27.

LADY EMILY VANE TEMPEST.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL in this case prayed
his Honour to appoint a manager of the estate
and effects of Lady Emily Vane Tempest, in the
event of an Appeal against the decree of the Lord
Chancellor being brought before the House of
Lotds. Sir S. Romilly and Mr. Hart, he ob-
served, were also in the cause ; but ht: did not
anticipate any objection VI his motion on their
parts, it being for the benefit of all the parties,
particularly that of the infant.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that
the best course to follow would be to let the cause
stand over for a few days, as the Gentlemen con-
cerned in it were at in esent occupied in arguing
the cases of their respective clients in other itn-
portant causes.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in answer to R tines.
Lion put by his Honour, said be had no objection
to this arrangement.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Very well, let this
case stand over, on an understanding that it will
come on for hearing on Thursday.

CAUTION TO STAGE•COACH OWNERS AND DRIVERS

HATTON•GARDEN.—YeSterday, JOHN HANSON,
Esq. of Hammersmith, the ironmonger to the
King, preferred no less than eight informations at
this Office, against stage prdprietors, for carrying
more passengers than they were authorised to do
according to the Act of Parliament. Five con-
victions took place in the full penalty of 201., and
one in the mitigated sum of 101. Compliments
were most handsomely paid by the Magistrates to
Mr. Hanson, for the trouble he had taken in bring-
ing the offenders to account.

An entirely new source of trade to the West
Indies is said to have been very recently opened
by the invention and erection of a mill for carding
and cleaning old blankets, however dirty i and
ragged, into a comfortable stuffing for bed-tick 7
ings for the use of the negro population of those
islands.
