LONG.-DEPENDING Sum—The great cause
which has been many years depending in the Court of
Arches relating to the estate and effects of the late Sir
Timatio 1141431%tc40),T, an eminent physician in King
CHAut.Es's reign, has been finally determined in favour of
Dr. BOUCHER, with full costs of suit. The case was
briefly this :—Sir THOMAS left three daughters, who all
died without issue, and the last survivor of them, who

lived to the age of 90, became possessed of the whole
fortune, and left it, to the value of 40,000 L, without
knowing the person who was heir-at-law. Nearly thirty
different parties put in their claim; who, after having
many of them spent their whole substance, dropt their
suit, and gave place to others. The determination was
rendered the more difficult, because Sir Trro:gAs having
risen from an obscure condition never mentioned his rela-

tions, so that to prove a collateral affinity it became neces-
sary to send to Tome, where, Sir TimmAs being a papist,
it was hoped some register of his birth, or record of his
family might be found ; the proceeding& by this means
became expensive, and for several years Dr. BoucirEn and
a family of the name of MILLINcTorr, in Staffordshire,
were the only parties to the suit.

LONDON OUT OF TOWN.—The follow-
ing true and sarcastic sketch is in Blackwood of the
present month :—" Tickler. —lirighthelmstone, when I
knew it, was a pleasant fishing village what like it is now.
I know not ; hut what I detest in the great folks of your
time is that insane selfishness which makes them prefer any
place, however abominable, where they can herd together
in their little exquisite coteries, to the noblest domains,
where they cannot exist without being snore or less ex-
posed to the company of people not exactly belonging to
their own particular sect. How can society hang together
long in a country where the Corinthian captal takes so
much pains to unrift itself from the pillar? Now-a-
days, Sir, your great Lord, commonly speaking,
spends but a month or six weeks in his ancestral abode;
and even when be is there, he surrounds himself stupidly
with a cursed town-crew, a pack of St. James's-street

, :•
fops; and May-fiir chatterers and intriguers, who give them-
selves airs enpugh to turn the stomachs of the plain
squirearchy and their womankind, and render a visit to the
castle a perfect nuisance. * *.
They seem to spare no pains to show that they consider
the country as valuable merely for rent and game—the
duties of the magistracy are a bore—county meetings are a
borer—a farce, I believe, was the word—the assizes are a
cursed bore—fox-hunting itself is a bore, unless in Lei-
cestershire, where the noble sportsmen, from all the winds
of Heaven, cluster together, and think with ineffable con.
tempt of the old-fashioned chase, in which the great man
mingled with gentle and simple, and all comers—sporting
is a bore, unless in a regular Lague, when a dozen lord..
lings murder pheasants by the thousand, without hearing
the cock of one impatrician fowling Piece—except indeed
some dandy poet, or philosopher, or puniter, has been ad •
mitted to make sport for the Philistines. In short, every
thing is a bore that brings the dans into personal collision
of any kind with people that don't belong to the world."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS COURT, jIILY 6.
PURDIE V. DDLLETT.

This was a bill filed to set aside an agreement for
the transfer of certain leasehold property.
The transactions out of which this present pro-
ceeding arose commenced in 1806, at which period
Richard Purdie, father of the plaintiff, was entitled
to certain leasehold property, consisting of five houses,
situated in Kingsland-road, Shorediteh, held upon a
lease of 21 years from 1797, and producing an'an-
nual profit rent of 841. 18s. Flaying become in-
debted to Mr. William Millen' in the sum of 2131.,
for advances in cash, Purdie deposited in his hands
the lease of the- houses, by way. 'of 'sectiritv. In
1511; a further advance of 621. was-made by Millett
to Purdie, and the latter handed over to his creditor
an agreement for a lease for five other house's, held
for a term of 21 years, commencing in.lBlo, at a net
profit rent of 36/. 15s. yearly Millett lent Purdie
115/. 15s. Bd. more, on two several occasions in
1813 ; when the entire debt amounted to 390/.1.55.
Bd. At the period of the last loan the mortgagee
entered into possession of the prokrty, and received
the rents, commencing frOm Michaelinas; 1813:
From the statements of the plaintiff; it Would seem
that there was a clear annual rent of'l2l/. I3s. ap-
plicable to the payrnent of the original debt, with in-
terett. On the 18th of February, 1815, Purdie
executed a deed, making over the ten houses to
Millett, in consideration of the balance of the debt
then due. The bill prayed that the agreement of
the 18th of February, 1815, might be declared frau-
dulent and void, or only valid as respects the balance
due to Milieu at the time of its execution; that an
account be taken of the rents and profits 'received
from that to the present period; and that allowance
be made for the valt.e of the lease as yet unexpired.
Without calling on the defendant's Counsel for
any answer to the foregoing case,
The MASTER of the ROLLS said, under all the cir-
cumstances, the case was one in which the Court
would not interfere, and the bill must be dismissed
with costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY G.
THE KING V. MOORE AND OTHERS.
Mr. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why
the defendants should not be brought up to receive
the judgment of the Court, unless they paid a moiety
of the costs of the reference.—Rule nisi granted.
