LAW. INTELLIGENCE.—(rms DAY.)

- COURT OF CHANCERY.
: 4The. LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's-Lir-
fall to-day, being the second Seal after Easter
eerm.

Several shot t 'applications were made in Lunacy
by Cothisel behind the bar.

FRASER V. BOOTHLET.
'Upon the application of Mr. TINSEV, his Lord-
ship promised to give judgment in this case on
hurday next, and in Jones and Desanges next
11IoinJay.

• WESTM EAT V. WESTMEAT
Mr. BRODERICK resumed his reply, at the con-
tlniion of which,
l:•Abe:',.Marquis of WESTMEATH trusted that his
c.'?"'rOsliip would allow him to detain him
or a• few minutes, as he felt himself called
"cm in consequence of the very peculiar
situation in which he stood, to say a few words.
4e hid been arraigned under charges of the most
abominable nature that ever were imputed to a gen-
t/email. He denied the truth of them as a man and
u Christian. It appeared to him, being no lawyer,
OW the matter had been reduced to a very narrow
"Rupass... The point seemed to be thk, that
'km the one band it was imputed that a degree
of'violence had been shewn by him at parti-
. t.141'• Periods, immediately previous to the time
or
41d. y Westmeath leaving his (Lord Westmeath's)
"use, which in law would justify her in taking the
course she had done. He begged leave to submit
thib fact

The Lon.b CHANCELLOR did not understand what
tree Lord Westmeath intended to take. He
\l'ished to know whether he was going w argue
‘llPe tae.
.Westmeath merely wished to show, that
respect. to Mary Weatherly, when she was
sent out of the house ,a constable was sent for to take
ler ay, and lie might have exercised the same au-
. thwitY ,own_ house that any other man might ;
that no one by the rule of common sense could con-
tend that such an act made it unsafe for Lady West-
Meath to remain in his house. He thought it his
toy to say, that the imputations thrown upon the
r owager Marchioness Of Salisbury were not only
leeg but without a shadow of ground or foundation. Aril
hen those interrogatories were framed, a most
.11tiintent COunsel at Doctors' Commons refused to
any thing further to do with this suit, on ac-
t.%ttnt of such questions being put to her, and it was
'served for the Learned Gentleman to persist in
Putting there.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that if Lord
Westmeath proceeded, Dr. Lushington would have
a right to reply. He could not attend to any thing
but what was in the cause.
avOW Lord Westmeath merely thought it necessary to
that those imputations were utterly without
foundation.
The
LORD CHANCELLOR, said he would consider
Ile ease, and the parties should have his report in
e Course of a week.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
WINDOW V. WISE' AND ANOTHER.
`lr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr.
Tomlinson) stated that this was an action upon a
o°licY of insurance, to recover a policy of 500/.,
acted in the cargo of the brig Ann, bound from
4..iverpoel to Buenos Ayres, which sailed on the
,4th of February, 1826. The captain of the vessel,
however met with such tempestuous weather as to
oblige him to put into Lochindale (a western isle of
kotland), ',here he arrived on the 21st Feb. While
there he ,procured two other n en and a boat from
lareenock, and.
.sailed on the 12th of March.
ibwring theie operations, the news arrived in this
'country-that the-port of Buenos Ayres was block-
aded by the Brazilian Government. Capt. Poe,
however, sailed from Lochindale, without a know-
ledge of this circumstance, and arrived at Buenos
' Ayres on the 23d of May, at night, and anchored
in the midst of the blockading squadron, which
seized the vessel and cargo in the morning. It was
„subsequently taken to Rio Janiero, and adjudicated,
the Obverthrient believing that the captain Was not
liwaN:giftbt7blockade:at the time Ire sailed: This
.sestoration,. however,. did not take place till two
years 'afterwards. The cargo hid been landed, and
When the restoration took place, there was no one'
to take possession of it, and it was lost. The
Learned Coonsel.called witnesses to prove the above
statement.

13kouottAst (with whom was Mr. Coml-N)
Ptoved by the evidence of two witnesses that the
Captain before he sailed from Lochindale knew of
the blockade, and replied to the persons who had
*anted him of it,. that he would " run the risk and
take all hazard."
60n this evidence being adduced, the ATTORNEY-
: RNERAL submitted that the plaintiff's case could
