K.C.8., was shifted from his Majesty's ship Wellesley to his Ma'
jesty's ship Sybille, in which ship he will sail in the Spring, as
Commander-in-Chief of the squadron of experimental ships, now

of the above-mentioned vessels), built under the immediate direc-
tion of Professor Inman, of the Royal Naval College, was launched
from the dock-yard. The concourse of spectators on the occasion
was considerable; and, as the ship glided into the water, her
stern receive the customary libation from the fair hand of a lady,
amidst three hearty cheers.

It is currently reported in the City that Mr. Hur-
tado is no longer Colombian Minister to our Court, and that
in future they will Lave only a Charge d'Affaires in this
Country. Bolivar ie said to have expressed his astonishment at
the expence of the Government, and seem, to think, as long as
they could borrow, there was no end of the extravagance of the
Republic's expences.

It is said, that if the acts of corruption alleged to
have taken place amongst " the free and independent burgesses of
Pontefract" at the last election should be established, the borough
will be Grampounded.—Leeds Mercury.
A cross-post has been established at Oxford for
Northampton, to meet the Manchester and Chester mails, whence
letters are delivered in the northern district 24 hours sooner than
by passing through London. Another cross-post will shortly be
carried into effect from Oxford to Newbury.
Tuesday, at the magistrates' office, Huddersfield,
Mr. John Mallalieu, of Scammonden, cotton-spinner, was con-
victed before B. H. Allen and John Horsfall, Esqrs., in the penalty

money.

LAW INTELOGENCE-I(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.
Mr. HART, at the sitting of the Court, wished to know what
the nature of the game was, that the gentlemen on the other side
were playing in this case. When the discussion of it last closed,
it was distinctly understood, that the whole of two letters, written
by Mis. Wellesley, extracts of which had been used, were to be pro-
duced to Mr. W. 's solicitor. When that Gentleman applied to the
solicitors:on the other side for the fulfilment of the engagement,
the only answer he could get was, " Such parts as we have not al-
ready given copies of are not material." Mr. Hart thought the
opinion upon- the materiality of them ought to hare been left to
the judgment of the side on which he appeared ; and as it now
seemed intimations only of his Lordship were not much respected
by certain quarters, he hoped the Court would make an express
order, directing the production of the whole of these letters.
His LORDSHIP'S opinion was, that letters, extracts of which
had been used, ought to be produced. Mr. Horne had said, he
did not object to the production of the extracts alluded to, pro-
vided the Court would be Counsel on both sides upon the letters,
and his Lordship did not know how he could be that Counsel,
unless he saw the whole of the letters.
Mr. SHADWELL had had no communication whatever with his
clients upon this subject since Monday, but it appeared to him
that there could be no objection to the production of the whole
of the letters ; and therefore he should advise the production.
Mr. HART also said, that as the Court had denied to him
further information respecting Mr. Wellesley's pecuniary affairs,
an explanatory affidavit had been made, which he now handed to
the Court, and from which he thought it appeared that with
respect to the multitudes of judgments, said to have been
entered up against Mr. 'Wellesley, and which had so much
frightened his Lordship, nineteen-twentieths of them had been
satisfied.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
BURLEY V. MOOR.

The circumstances of this case, which has excited considerable
interest among the residents in Lincoln's Inn, are shortly these.—
. The Messrs. Burley, and the defendant Moor having been tenants
in common to a set of chambers,' in No. 8, New-square,
Lincoln's Inn, a bill was filed by the former, in the Rolls
Court, for the purpose of procuring a partition of the cham-
bers in question. A decree for that purpose was obtained,
and Commissioners appointed to make the allotment. It
may be necessary to state, that a similar decree had been oh.
tained by the father of the Messrs. Burley, but that gentleman
having died before the allotment of the Commissioners, a supple-
mental bill was filed by his sons, and a fresh decree was the
result. The chambers consisted of four rooms, and the Commis-
sioners allotted two rooms, each party declaring at the same time,
that as the two allotted to the Messrs. Burley were of a descrip-
tion superior to those awarded to Mr. Moor, that the latter
should receive 2100/. as a compensation for the excess of value.—
The two rooms allotted to the Messrs. Burley were at the bottom
of a passage leading oft the stair-case. This passage was part of
the moiety allotted to Mr. Moor, but a right of way over it was
reserved to the other party. The parties, who are solicitors,
continued to carry on their business in the chambers until last
September, when Mr. Moor removed to a set of chambers at the
opposite side of the staircase. Previously to his removal
the names of the respective firms had been painted
on the doors of the passage into the old chamber; the names
of the Messrs. Burley on one side, and those of Mr. Moor and
his partner Mr. Lake on the other, with a line drawn between
them. Shortly after Mr. Moor's removal, he procured the door
en which the names had been so Written, to be painted or grained
over,-and the names of his own firm alone to be written across the
door. The Messrs. Burley insisted on having their names also writ-
ten upon it, and procured a painter to do it. Their names were,
however, scarcely written, when they Were obliterated by Mr.
Moor. A contest of this nature, was carried on for some time,
when the plaintiffs filed a bill fir the purpose of asserting their
right. The bill prayed that the Court do declare that according
to the true intent and meaning of the two decrees, the plaintiffs
were entitled, for the convenient use and occupation of their
moiety of the Chat-Libel s, •to paint or affix their names to the
door of the common passage, and that the Court accordingly
declare that there should have been a reservation to that
effect in the deed of partition executed between the parties, and,
finally, that the defendants be restrained from effacing and
obliterating the names of the plaintiffs from the door. To this
bill the defendants put in a demurrer, and Messrs. Heald and
Walker appeared to-day in support of it--Messrs.. Horne and
Trislove went on the other side.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after hearing the Counsel on both
sides, decided that, as the appurtenances to the moiety allotted to
Mr. Moor also passed
.to him under the deed of partition, and as
the door and wall came under the head of appurtenances, the
plaintiffs could not have the right of painting their names on
them. His Honour rejected the necessity of so deciding,
as the loss to Mr. Moor, in case the plaintiffs had
the right, could be nothing; whilst, on the other hand,
the plaintiffs could be considerably damaged by not being
able to intimate to their clients where they could be found. His
Honour, however, felt confident that the Society, whose property
the walls of the stairease was, would allow the plaintiffii to affix a
board to them, with an index pointing to their chambers.
The demurrer was allowed.
It was subsequently intimated to his Honour, that the Society
had no right of property in the walls of the building in the New-
square.
