Hozmouse, by which means the shaft of the ve-
hicle came in contact with that gentleman's leg,

able him from walking, , but the injury is not

LAW IN rELLIGVNCg,

COURT OF (1-I.INUERY, blgecft 4i.

INTENDED MARRIAGE IN HIGt3 LIFE.

Tlle EARL OF COVENTRY V. SIR RoGRR GRSSLEY.
Before the LORD CIIANCELLoR proceeded to ex-
plain the order he thought it right to make in this
case,
Mr. SH-ADvveLL begged to remind the Court,
that it was stated by .Ir. [fart on Friday, from
the affidavit of Lady Gresiey, that the l-Intt. Jtdoi
Coveutty had led her son into irregularities. lie
(vlr. S ) was now instructed to say, that if the
Court thought it necessary, that young Nobleman
was ready to make an actiiavit that he bad hevur
led Sir Roger (iresley into any irregularities
whatever.
The LORD CLIANCBI.Log then said, that he had
looked into the several cases upon this. subject,
and that he was rather at a loss to know what
precise order it Was which Mc. Hart woald ask of
the Court. Upon the facts of the case he telt it
unnecessary to make Hoy observation of a harsh
kind, or which would attach blame to any party.
in the order he should make, he would be go-
verned only by the necessity imposed upon him
under the sanction of his judicial oath to preserve
the jurisdiction of the Court ; and, looking to
what his predecessors had done, he thought it
perfectly clear that it was within the peculiar ju-
risdiction of this Court to order that a marriage
of one of its wards should not take place withozit
its consent ; and indeed it haul been decided, that
such marriage could tiot take place, even with the
coosent of the father, without incurring a con-
tempt. But such a jurisdiction would be foiuoled
in nonsense,‘it it were not also in the power of
the Court to prevent any material steps from
being taken with a view to such marriage. lie
should wish to be as guarded as possible in
what he had to say, hot he could not help observ-
ing, if Lot!! Coventry were present he per-
haps would forgive him for suggesting, that the
Noble Lord acted inconsiderately, to ray the least
of it, when he desired the ward to state to his so-
licitors, particulars of his estates and forthoe.—
With respect to the ward himself, he thought it
his duty to express his surprise that no applica-
tion had been ruade to the Court since he left the
University in April last. Since then it appeared
that he was left to his own guidance, without a
tutor, without being engaged in any -coutse of
improvement, and this too at a period of youth
when many things might happen which would
afterwards be sources of regret. There was also'
upon the pleadings a letter from Sir Roger to his
mother, with whom it s:emeti he Was not hying, •
and of that letter he should merely say, that it
was such a one as he was site Sir Roger, upon
mature reflection, would not wish to remain upon
the record. The order which it was his duty to
make would extend to a prohibition 'against Sir
Roger Gres!ey's going out of this country, and
against this marriage tal(ing place, without the
consent of the Court. It any further order were
necessary to prevent tray material steps tt,m)
taken, with the view of enforcing the jurisdiction
of the Court, lie should feel himself bound to ac-
cede to it ; and he desired that Mr. dart should
to.-morrow morning specify the precise order
wlaich he wished to Atain.
