LAW REPORT.

CC)L11:1' CRAM. ER, N0v..14.

WYVILIM V. TUCKER..
The consideration of this Adjourned Case was re-
stitn,:d this day-,by the SOLICITO-11:GENIAAL, 06 the
perx of the plaintiff.
It will be remembered that this was. a else with
respeCt.to the right of presentation to the Church of
Down St. Mary, in the county of Devon.
'.'l.lle. Learned Counsel perspicuously detailed the
leading features of the case. He commented ,on
the impropriety of the appeal of the defendant, he
having allowed his claims"to Ire unheard of for four
years, at the exuiration of which he appeared, and
asserted his agreement to be useless, on account - of
• his liability to discharge the heavy debt attached to
the advowson. But soon he altered his tone---the
removal of the incumbent of the Church of Saint
Mary had opened his eyes ; he perceived then the
value Of his claim, that it had become .ot the value
of two thousand pounds ; he then put in his claim,
with at% offer to pay his original contra6l.of eight
hundred Rounds, and interest, provided his title to
the presentation was recognised. All that ought to
• be done for Mr. Tucker was, to dived him, to take'
theadvowson in its existing state, when the presen-
raiion in -1807 was filled up. fie called -on, the
Court to dire& the presentation according ,to the
claims of the heiress, Miss W)ville, so that the va-
cancy. tuight.be filled, and the creditors receive the
benefit of the sale of the advowson.
The Court was of opinion, that it
.was a most per-
. ple4ed case, owing to Tucker appearing as deten-
. dant when he should have been plaintiff, besides
there were
~no representatives of the . advowson,
winch hindered thelaw to be applied.'
.The SOLICITOft ObSci'V.o, that.llothin
. could be, mere absurd than,tlie place of the defen-
dant ; if ly exerted himself so as to pluck tbe.pre-,
• seotation froth Miss Wyville's hands, instead of en,.
joying it himself, he would instantly be obliged to
place it in the.hands of the Bishop of Exeter.
.:, The Connsel,,on .the part of the defendant, con-
tended, that he never :abandoned the agreement,
but was hindered. from urging his claims by. the air
•
Vp1903 among' the creditors.
, ,Their Lordships observed, that the case embraced
so narrow a range, as made it impossible for any de-
cisive judgment to be attached to it. They wished
tire.defendanti to file his bill as a specific one, and
• • , deferred giving any. judgment •,until further consi-
deration.

The Citurt aci;ourned the further consideration of
the ca:,e to a future day. . ,

The reported disafreaion of the Maltese prove s to
beerronenus. There, as every where else, a few
dissatisfied people May be found ; but the majority
of. the Maltese people are too well satisfiedAVith the'
mildness or the British Government,. 'and ar.e'grow.
jog too rapidly rich, in consequence of the trade
which their connection with' England 'has thrown
into their hands, to wish. to sacrifiCe. those benefits
to any theoretical advantages.
A letter from Cadiz of the 29th ult. says
" There is nothing-new in 'politics, excepting the
denunciation" of the 'Deputy Valieute, by acclaim-
lion of; the-people, some days since, in the CorteS.
For security, the Government sent him Off under a
strong guard to the, Puerto: where he ern-
hat ked, andilares not come on shore Rivera, of the
Calle Ancha, died l tefy, leaviilg a million of dol-
lars. He .has. left ,a sum 01.80,000 dollars to the
different convents, competent to the cost of I 60,000 -
masses for the repose of his soul.
The queStion of the Inquisition which ,had re-
cently been stirred, lately caused an extramdmary
ferment in Cadiz. On he,26thsOlt. the Deputy for
Seville again moved the sebio in the Cortes, when
the people becathe so incensed against hiss and a
member. who seconded his views, that they would
have inflified immediate vengeance on them tiLit for ,
the interference of the British,,Who contri‘e.d to get
them on board of a Ship of war, where they have
for the pressnt found a sate asylum. So h, how-
ever; was the state of the pUblic mind on the L)7i h,
that it required great caution to. restr;nn it within
proper bounds. Official addresses were eireolard on
the 27th, endeaveuriog to calm the'peopie. At the
sitting of the Cortes on that day, it was earnestly re-
covited, that those who attended, would conduct
themselves with decorum. The metehers taken on
board our ships were arrested:] but whether for
se-
cnrity, mat the request of the populace, is not stated,
