LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Aram 2.
EXTRAORDINARY {MM....WELLESLEY r. DUKE Or
_ BEAUFORT.

As soon as the LORD CHANCiII:OI took his seat in Court this
case was milled on, but it was postpo for a short time, as it was
stated that Mr. Wellesley intended to appear in person. Shortly
afterwards Mr. W. attended by his second son, entered the Court,
and took his seat near the SoLzerroz.GarrEnAL.

The LOAD CHANCELLOR suggested to Mr. Wellesley the
plopriety of not letting his son hear what passed, and whether it
would not be better that he should retire into his Lordship's private
WOOL

Mr. Wellesley said he had no objection to this arrangement.
Mr. PErws opened the prayer of the petition, which was, that
the child should be given up by Mr. Wellesley to the guardian
appointed by the Court, and that Mr. Wellesley might be re.
strained by injunction from harbouring him In his house. It ap.
pearad from the aMdavits that the Master Wellesley. had been sent
to their guardians to spend the Easter Holidays, from whose care,
however, the youngest escaped, and succeeded in making hisfather's
house.

Mr. Wellesley opposed the application, and complained in strong
language of the manner in which his children were treated, which
he said was not consistent with their rank in life ; they did not
receive sufficient respect. He enumerated many things which he
coneidered ffisrappectful, amongst which was one that they were
driven through their own estate in a taxed cart.
The LORD CHawczt.i.oa—Have you any affidavits?
Blr.Wellesley handed one up to the Court.
The LORD CHANCRLLOR having read it, said it was no answer
to the use. The y g gentleman must be delivered up to his
guardians. If Mr. Wellesley had any fault to find with the conduct
of tbese gentlemen, it must be by a different application.:
Mr. Wellesley wished his Lordship to bear him explain some
of the grounds of complaint against those who had !the care of his
children. _ _

The Loav Qua cdra.ox could not allow the public time to be
;nutted. He could not hear it now. He had pronounced the ceder,
and the childimust be given up.
Mr. Wellesley said he would proceed against the guardians, and
was about to make some further observations, when he was again
stoiteedll)Lan CHAm CZLLOIL, who said emphadcally, " I have
made the order, and the whole of the responsibility I am willing
to take upon myself."
Mr. Wellesley said he had met the case in this way, to pprree eat
the delay:that must otherwise have taken place, and in considerattion
of the great prejudice that existed against him.
The Loire UNANCIILLOR—As far as the Court is concerned no
prejudice exists. lam willing to hear the case directly.
r. Wellesky—Will your Imdship hear the statement from the.
-lips of the child himself; you will.and him a very intelligent youth,
and meowed of a mind that would do honour to any man ; and I
am convinced if he tenet allowed to -remain with me, but sent bad
to the bitterest enemy his father has in the world, it will naturally
injure his health, and, perhaps, break the noblest spirit that ever
existed in the bosom of man. _ _ _

The LORD Gamow-Loa could not deviate from the usual course.
The boy had no away thous sated, and took shelter in his father's
house, and he must %dot** teas delivered to those who, by law
and equity, were latided.ls the owe of his person.
After some tadwrapviniAiss, the Loan CaurcuLLoa retired
into his prime wry Sri tite of conversing with the child.

Mr. Wiliesley thanked the Lord Chance:lle for his attention, and
after a awn time redred.
Soon after the LORD CEAwcti.Loa had wade the order re-
specting Mr. W aadey's son, Mr. Courtenays cabriolet drove up
to the private door of lbs Court, and Mr. C. mil the young gentle.

man came out, but no persuasion could Induce the latter to enter
the carriage. Mr. C. remonstrated with him en the impropriety
of his conduct, and on the folly of exposing himself thus before a
crowd that was collecting. He said be did not care, he would not go
hue the carriage of his own accord. Mr. C. then offered to lift him
in, but his hat falling off, he desisted, and after some Ineffectual per-
suasion returned with the young gentleman into the Lord Chancel.
ler's private room, accompanied by his Lordship's Sergeant at Arms.
The young gentleman afterwards went away quietly with Mr. Cour-
tney, in a post chaise.
