Resident in Coventry.

Presentation of the Gold Cup, from the Corpo•

BUTTERWORTH, Esq.
We have received intelligence that the deputa-
tion trom this City, consisting of the ‘Vorstiinful
the Mayor, John Clarke, Esq, ; the senior Alder-
man, Samuel kVbitwell, F. 59 ; and the Town
Clerk, John Carter, Esq.; appointed by the
friends of Mr. Butierwm in in Coventry, to pre
sent him with tiold Cup, as a token of their re-
spect and esteem tor his upright conduct in l'ar
!lament, waited upon yesterday ('?6th
at his house Bedford-square, """ aL.t"
at
an appropriate speech t. ter, on belie&
of the and the numerous friehds of
f,t,tterworth in Coventry, die Town Clerk
presented him with the Cup, which he received
with emotions of the highest pleasure and satis.
faction. He then addressed the deputation to thi
following etreci :
" Ge,•TtEmet4,—The very handsome testimony of regard
with tvitich I tin so greatly honoured from my native city,
cannot but be highly grat,fyiug to my feelings ; and you wit;
ad‘l to the obligations already confuned npon me, by conve)
ing my most gratetul acknowledgments to my respect,:;
friends at Coventry, for thin truly elegant rind generous ex-
pression of their attachment, which I shall caretully pre•
serve ; and it will be handed down to those who come aftei
tie as a proof, that although the conscientious discharge
public duty !nay tor a season be borne down by misrepresenta
boos amd party violence, yet it will nut ultimately fail of its
re. will d.
" To yourselves. Gentlemen, I feel that I ant under epe
cial obligations, not only for the warmth mid steadiness of
your kindness, but for the exttaordinary trouble ;mil itnere::
you have taker!, in conveying to me this highly valuable use
menial of the partiality of my friends.
" As I cannot, upon this occasion, express all I wish
convey to lay esteemed friends at Coventry, I will take the
liberty of requestixg you to comumnicatelthese sentiments*,
and I have at present only to request that we may be indulged
whit the honour of your company at dinner."
Mr. B. was evidently under the influence o'
strong feeling while delivering this Address be•
fote a numerous and ICOilv respectable circle of
friends, who expressed their high gratificatine
with all that passed, and with time exquisite work-
manship of the Cup, which Was ex see(iingly ad-
mired by the company who were assembled on
time occa, ion .

The splendid Gold Cup, voted by the Friends
of Joseph Butterworth, E•d. as a testimony of
their esteem for that Gentleman, was exposed to
public view in the Council House at Sr. Mary's
Hall, in this City, on Saturday and Monday last ;
on the latter day particularly, the crowd was so
grew, anxious to have their curiosity gratified,
that it was with difficulty that many persons could
obtain the obj,ct of their wishes. On Tuesday
morning, from nine till twelve, the public; had
another opportunity of seeing the Cup in the
window of Metridew and 'Son, from whence it
was removed, at the hour ►mentioned, to be con-
veyed to London by our worthy Chief Magistrate,
and the senior Alderman, who, with the Torun
Cletk, were the deputation appointed to present
the same.

In additiOu to the foregoing Extracts from The
Coventry Herald, we uuderstand that Ike Cup is a
magnificent ,pe'7inien ot taste and skill in the
tvnrkn►auship. 'The Arms of the City ot Coven-
try, and the Inscription, are engraved on it with
great elegance. The value of the Cup is esti-
mated at about two hundred guineas. • Snch is do
best temporal recoil:pence that PUBLIC VIRTUE
can receive—the uppt obation and gratitude of our
fellow Citizens.

/ Mr. BurTtuwon-rtt then delivered a written Mdress to
the Town Clerk, expre.sive of his sense of the honour con-
ferred on hint on gybe occasion.

of this hrilli.cnt affair, anti their importance will
. certainly be folly arpreciated by the Most Noble
the Coverpor-General.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nev. 28.

THE EARL.OF SHAFTESBURY, LORD ROBERT SPEN-
CBE, AND ANOTUERi U. TA-fa DUKE OF MARL-

Bononotr.
Sir A. PIGGOT Moved that the defendant should
be 1‘4%-,ined from receiving the rents or profits
of certain
,e,tates since .t:.2'. ,7ef Ole tee
Duke, and from carrying on an action against
the tenants for not plying the said :rents. This
case had been. heard before-•the Lord Chancellor,
who granted the injunction, subject, however, to
such obketions..as, the defendant's Counsel might
make. The-estates of the family were devised' to
the Earl of Shaftesbury and Lord Robert Spencer
for 300 years, on condition of the rents and pro-
fits being applied to keep down the interest of the
incumbrances, the payment of cert4in annuities,
and the sum of 30,0001—t0 the Duchess, after
which.the surplus was 'to be given to the Duke.
In May last a receiver was appointed, and Mr.
Blackstone was that person. The puke. thought
he had a right to the rents in arrear before the
appointment took place ; but surely the, Court
would not sanction him in that opinion. The
bill before the Lord Chancellor stated, that, the
Duke had no colour of title whatever to. the pro-
perty, but yet his Grace had raised seven or eight
actions against some of the tenants.
The VIOE-CHANCELLOR.—" I do not see how
the Duke can maintain any such actions." ,
Mr. HART said, that his Grace had made an
affidavit, in which was a letter of Lord Shaftes-
bury's, where that Noble Lord states, that he
conceived the' Duke entitled to the arrears. He
(Mr. Hart) must say, whoever advised the Duke
to think so, gave him had advice.
Mr. BELL, Oil the other side, contended that it
never could be the intention of the order of the
Court to deprive his Grace of what he was in
possession of. No sufficient case was made out
to shew• there could be any reference to past
rents, and therefore he contended, that the order
must be taken in a prospective, not retrospective
sense.

The VICE-CHANCRLLOR said, be must under-
stand this order-as given tar justice to both par-
ties. The incumbrances took effect after- the
death of the testator. The trustees were placed
in authority, on condition of receiving all rents,
And paying the interest of the incumbrances, and
the Duchess's annuity. The Duke certainly had
no right to bring any action against the tenants,
and he must be restrained from interfering, di-
rectly or indirectly, with the rents. The Court,
therefore, were bound. to grant the injunction.
The costs to be paid by the receiver, out of his
funds.—lnjunction granted.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 15...

THE RING V. PEEL AND ANOTHER.

Mr. UUENEY said, he had to skew their Lord-
ships cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Scar-
lett on a former day for filing criminal informa-
tion! against Mr. Peel and another Gentleman for
H misdemeanour. Mr. Peel was son of Sir Robert
Peel, the other Gentleman was Sir Robert'sion-
in-law. He (Mr. Gurney) regretted. Much he
had not been able to slim cause on an earlier day.,
since he should now be obliged, on the .last day
of the Term, to occupy a very considerable poi-
tion of their Lordships' time.
Mr. SCARLETT here suggested, Iltat chewing
cause might, without prejudice to either party,
be postponed till next Term. -
Mr. GuaNEY was ready to adopt the suggestion

of his Learner! Friend, if in doing so be had their
Lordships' sanction.
The CHIEF Jumcs.—" Let it.,be so ; the de-
lay may be of advantage to the parties ; they
may in the mean time !hive a communication tith
each other, and happily come to such an ar-
rangement as May prevent the matter proceeding
further."
