CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY-RE.
CALL OF LORD ANGLESEA.

(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Monday.)

Yesterday a most numerous and highly respectable
►neeting► of the Parishioners of the United Parishes
of Sr. Andrew, St. Peter, Sr. Mark, and St. Anne,
took place in the Church, Townsend-street, at two
o'clock, for the purpose of addressing the Marquis of
Anglesea, and to petition for the repeal of those laws
that still affect the glorious cause of Civil and Reli-
gious Liberty.
The Rev. MATHIAS KELLY, Administrator, in
the Chair.
ROBERT WHITIf) Esq., acted as .Secretary, and
read the Requisition.
Mr. O'CONNELL, M.P., then rose amid great ap-
plause, and said that as the first object of the Meet-
ing was to prepare an address to the Lord Lieu-
tenant, he would read the Address.—(Loud cheers.)
--Having read the Address, the Honourable and

Learned Gentleman continued. It was his pleasing
duty to move the adoption of that Address in sub-
stance, if not in words.—(Cheers.)—lt was to him
a most pleasing duty to move an address to that
excellent Nobleman, the Marquis of Anglesea. From
this subject he would turn to one of a more appal-
ling nature, namely, the necessity that still exists for
their assembling to petition Parliament for their
right's. (Cheers.) Civil liberty cannot exist in a
country where confidence is shackled, and to force a
man at the point of the bayonet to go the path to
heaven, which wits not consistent with his own in-
clination, was not only absurd in theory, but wicked
in practice. (Cheers). Others might call in the
aid of the military, of laws and of the police to sup-
port their form of worship, but they had no right to
interfere with the Catholic on account of his creed.
The Noble Marquis came here our enemy ; in a
short time he became acquainted with our object,
and now he leaves Ireland a determined friend to
Catholic Emancipation. (Load cheers.)
Mr. STAUNTON moved, and Mr. J. MURPHY se-
conded the next resolution, ordering the petition
from this Union to be given for presentation to the
Marquis of Anglesea in the Lords, and to Mr.
O'Connell in the Commons,

The motion passed amid the most deafening
shouts of applause.
Several other important resolutions, and amongst
the rest one deputing Michael Staunton and Bar-
tholomew Corballis, Esqrs. to accompany Mr.
O'Connell to London, having been carried,
The Rev. Mr. GRIFFITH was called to the Chair,
and thanks having been returned to the Rev. Mr.
Kelly, the immense multitude dispersed quietly.
A meeting to a similar effect was held in St. Mi-
chan's Parish, the Very Rev. Dr. COLEMAN in the
Chair.

We are happy to congratulate the public on
the gradual decay of sickness in this city and suturba.
Comparatively few cases of fever have occurred for the last
two weeks ; and dysentery, which prevailed to such an ex-
tent during the summer months, has now nearly subsided.
A number of individuals, however, are confined with in-
flammation in the throat, asthma, and some other com-
plaints incidental to the season ; but, upon the whole, the
general state of health in and around the city, is considered
extremely satisfactory.— Glasgow Chronicle.

The lace manufactory, recently established at
Tewkesbury, is going on very well, and is likely to prove
a lucrative concern.—Bath Chronicle.

We understand that it is Mr. Joseph Timm,
and not Mr. Holroyd (as first stated), who has been ap-
pointed Solicitor of Stamps, In the room of the late God-
frey Sykes, Esq.

Business at Port-Dundas has, for the last
eight Jays, been very brisk. The arrivals of grain during
that tune have been considerabL; and a number of vessels
are daily expected with cargoes of the same commodity.—
Glasgow Chronicle.

It appears on examining the Tide Tables for
the current year, that the sea-floods will rise very consi-
derably higher during this year than they have for the
fourteen proceeding years, and may thereby do very serious
injury if not attended to.—Bath Chronicle.

A most singular being has resided till a few
days since near Fort Utrecht, Long bland. He was, to
all intents, a hermit, having lived alone for these last 25
years. A female he would never allow to enter his door.
His name is said to have been Abraham Van Brunt, and
his age is supposed to have been between 60 and 70 years.
Op the 15th ult., he was found dead in his bed.—Boston
Ceurier, Dec. 1.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

Lord TENTURDEN sat this morning, and disposed
of all the causes in the list, which were mostly un-
defended or withdrawn.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
RAE V. COUCHER.

The KING'S ADVOCATE said, that the question in
this case was as to the validity of the codicil of a
will of the late Mr. Peter Coucher, of Streatham,
who died on the Ist of Dec. 1826. The deceased

left behind him property, consisting of houses, to the
amount of 1,1001. a-year, which he disposed of by a
will regularly witnessed, leaving 101. to his widow,
80/. to his son and daughter, per annum and a house
to each of them, and the residue of his property, after
tasking a provision for Mrs. Rae, his housekeeper,
to be divided amongst his grand-children, the chil-
dren of the aforesaid son and daughter. The de-
ceased died in October, and after his death a codicil
was found inclosed in the will, and making therein
a most material alteration. By this codicil, which
was written by the deceased, and signed with his
initials, but not regularly attested, the deceased
made Mrs. Rae a residuary legatee, thus depriving
his grand-children of their reversionary interest, and
also stating that if either of his children contested
the will, they should be cut off with a. shilling.
By till; will also Mrs. Rae and her sister were left
as executors to the will, and the deceased at the

time, being of sound mind, there was no reason
to suppose it other than his real wish as to the
final disposition of his property. He had been liv-
ing separate from his wife, and had a misunderstand-

ink with his children, though some time prior to his
death a reconciliation had taken place, bat under all
the circumstances there could be no doubt but that
he meant to provide for Mrs. Rae, by leaving her as
his residuary legatee.
Dr. DonsoN followed on the same side.
Dr. HAGGARD argued in opposition to the vali-
dity of the codicil, that it was written on hallo
sheet of paper, and could not haVe been written
otherwise than in a moment of anger, as he had pre-
viously been reconciled to his children, and there
was no evidence to show that any subsequent quar-
rel took place after the will itself had been made.

The KING'S ADVOCATE replied, and contended
that the codicil was regularly acknowledged by the
deceased, for he had told the surgeon who attended
him that he had been making a bit of a codicil, and
other witnesses also deposed to the same effect.
Sir J. NICHOLL gave judgment. The bill itself
was made after his resentment against his children
had been appeased, and though by that will he pro-
vided for Mrs. Rae, yet he retained the bulk of the
property in his own family. There was nothing to
show that any subsequent quarrel arose between them,
and from the manner in which the codicil was writ•
ten it could not have been considered by the de-
ceased as a finished paper, or one containing his final
and unalterable intentions. •His children, up to the
last moment, continued to call and to be kindly re-
ceived by him, so that it was scarcely probable that
be could have intended thus to have disposed of his
property away from them. He should therefore
pronounce against the validity of the codicil.
Dr. JENNER applied that Mrs. Rae's costs might
be paid out of the estate.
The COURT decided that the costs on all sides
should be paid out of the estate.
