MANCHESTER QUARTER SESSIONS.

MANCIIP:STER, JULY 21.—There Sessions, the most
important (as regards the extent of business done) out of
the .Metropolis, commenced yesterday, before JAs. NORRIS,
gistrates. The number of prisoners in the calendar is
DI., Stipendiary Chairman, and a full bench of County
Ma
as usual very heavy. The cases which appear to excite
the greatest interest are the trials of some of the indivi-
duals concerned in the late riots, which have disturbed
Manchester and its neighbourhood. There are also a con-
siderable number to take their trials fur having indus-
triously employed themselves ijs circulating base coin,
which has for some time been going on undetected to an
alarming extent in Lancashire. The Grand Jury did not
terminate their labours till a late hour in tile day, conse-
quently little business of importance was gone through.
A simple country fellow was placed at the bsr, charged in
tile indictment with stealing a new suit of clothes, the
property of Mr. George Hallam, of Bury. The follow-
ing singular circumstance led to the prisoner's detection:—
The prosecutor, it appears, is the owner of a shop at Bury,
and another at Bolton, and the prisoner having stolen the
clothes from the prosecutor's shop at Bolton, ignorantly
repaired to Bury, and offered them for sale to the prose-
cutor's journeyman, who knowing the snake of the clothes,
caused him to be apprehended. The prisoner was found
guilty.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on entering the Court,
stated he had received a mitten communication from
Mr. Ebden, upon which it was his duty to say that
Mr. Wellesley's buys should not go to Seagry to
pass the vacation ; and that the better course now
to be adopted was, to refer it to the Master to en-
quire where they ought to pass it.—Thus has Mr. W.
succeeded in the part of his petition that was gone
into the other day.

A WARD-APPLICATION TO COMMIT THE EARL OF

ROSCOMMON, &C. TO THE FLEET.

WALKER V. STRICKLAND.

Sir CHARLES WETHERELL and Mr. ROUPEL
moved that the Sergeant at Arms might be ordered
to bring to the bar of this Court the Earl of Ros-
common, his uncle Mr. Stowell, and Miss Louisa
Booth, that they might stand committed to the
Fleet Prison, for a breach of the order of the Court.

Miss Bridget Walker, an infant, is a ward of the
Court of Chancery, and was at a boarding-school
kept by a Mrs. Booth, in or in the neighbour-
hood of Montague-square. Some time ago,
an application was made by the Earl of Ros-
common to the Court, for leave to pay
his addresses to her, which was refused.—
Afterwards, on the 16th of May, an order was
made, restraining him from visiting or communi-
cating with her in any way whatever. Having now
resided for a short time with Mr. Bradley, her ma-
ternal uncle, at his residence, a little below Lan-
caster, that gentleman had made up a parry, who
were to make a tour through some parts of Scot-
land, among whom were to be Miss Walker and her
mother. Just before the starling hour, however, a
letter Was sent to Miss W., from Miss Louisa
13ooth (daughter of the lady who keeps the
school), in which was enclosed a slip of paper,
bearing these words—" I will meet you when
and where you will appoint,"—believed to
'have been written by the Earl of Roscommon.
Mr. Bradley, on hearing of this, refused to take
Miss W. with him to Scotland. The Earl and Mr.
Stowell bad since been seen loitering about where
this young lady now is, The latter had been seen
to leave the former, go to the house with a
, small parcel, esquire for Miss Walker, saying
he had a parcel for her, and return to join
the former, on being told she was not
there. They had been passing in that part of the
country under the fictitious names of (the Earl) Mr.
Maitchell, or Mitchell, and Mr. Herris. The
Learned Gentlemen were satisfied that this having
been all sworn to, was quite enough to call upon the
Court to act; at the same time they did not at pre-
sent press for the order to the extent prayed by the
notice of motion. They thought it might be enough
at present for his Lordship to call on them to an-
swer by affidavit, the matters appearing in the affi-
davits that had now been filed.

The LORD CHANCELLOR would not call on them
to make any affidas its ; they might exercise their
own discretion as to that; but he directed that they
should have notice when the present application had
been made, and that it should be re-heard on tbis
day week. He considered the matters detailed, if
properly substantiated, sufficient to authorise the
Court to commit the parties.
