SALE OF DR.TILLOCIIIS LIBRARY.

The Sale of the Library, Coins, Medals, &c. of the
late Dr. ALEXANDER TILLOCH has now continued five
days, at Mr. Saunders's Auction Rooms, Fleet-street,
and many of the articles fetched high prices; indeed,
although few persons were less affected with the Biblio-
mania than Dr. Ttnnoen, yet he was an industrious
and judicious collector of curious works connected with
his studies and pursuits. The sa!e on Friday was rich
in missals and manuscripts, and they gave rise to a
spirited competition. A rich Oriental manuscript of
the Koran, in Arabic, in a case, fetched seven guineas.
Another manuscript, entitled The Loves of Joseph and
Zoleikha (the wife of Poriphnr, in Turki I: verse, ele-
gantly translated from the Persian of Jani), was sold
'for eleven guineas. This MS. affords a fine specimen
of the minute elegance with which the people of Asia
adorn their favourite compo,i,ions ; it is written on the
finest Oriental paper, and is enriched' with several
highly finished pictures and illuminations. A Missal
on vellum, from the King of France's Library, sold for
eight guinea, and another for twelve pounds. A ma-
nuscript Ilebrew and English Lexicon and Concord-
ance of the authorised version of the Old Testa-
ment fetched la But one of the most valua-
ble manuscripts was Ihe Chronicle of England, on
vellum, which was sold for thirty-five guineas.—
Aminig the printed books were several old English
Bibles and Testaments, which sold extremely well.
Cranmer's Bible sold for 6/. the Bishops' Bible for
5/. 15s. 6d. the Bible of 1510, fur 91. 19s. 6d. and Co-
verdale's Bible (1535), with wood cuts, reached thirty-
six guineas and a half. We had almost forgotten a
beautiful Missal, on vellum, priated in 1481, which
was sold for twenty-six guineas. The coins, medals,
philosophical and mathematical instruments, remain
on sale, with some fine pictures by Hemskirk, Paul
Veronese, Poussin, Anibal Caracci, and other eminent
masters.

LAW REPOAT.

coma OF CHANCERY, MAY 14.

WLAKEMORE V. GLAMORGANSIMRE CANAL COMPANY.
This was a motion, made by Mr. HEALD, on the
part of Mr. Blakemore, for the commitment of Mr.
Guest and three others, to the Fleet prison, for a con-
tempt of the Injunctions of the Court. It will be re-
cdllected that a motion of this nAture was some time
since submitted against the same parties, for a similar
offence; alleged tohave been committed, viz.by deepen-
ing and widening the Glamorganshire Canal, to the in-
jury of the plaintifrs property. The motion was then
refined, after considerable al gument. Counsel were
full► heard to-day on both sides, and various affidavits
were read. In the result, his Lordship refused the mo-
tion as to three of the parties, and reserved the ques-
tion with respect to Mr. Guest, as to whom some par-
ticular circumstances were applicable.

IN RE SIR GREGORY PACIII 'want&
The Petition presented in this lunacy was on the part
of Mr. Corbet, Solicitor, praying to have access to Sir
G. P. Turner, now confined for debt in the Marshal-
tea prison.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought he had no jurisdic-
tion to act, the lunatic being in the Marsha'sea prison.
He bad been more harassed and perplexed by this case
than by any he ever recollected, and the difficulties
which presented themselvei were almost insurmount-
able. The application now was by a Solicitor to have
access to Sir G. P. Turner. It was well known that So-
licitor after Solicitor had had access to him, and all
of them had declined to traverse the inquisition. It was
not in the power of the Court to compel any man to
traverse the inquisition, or to take any step in it, and
the parties were all placed in the most distressing situa-
tion. He believed that a Bill would be brought into
Parliament this Session to remedy the inconvenience.
In the meantime, however, it was not in his power to
act. He would, however, candidly acknowledge, that
if the leave of the Conn were required to Sir G. P.
Turner to traverse, it would undoubtedly be refused.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 14.
THE KING U. LIVERMORE AND DUNLOP.
Mr. BROUGHAM moved to file a criminal information
against the defendants, as the printer and publisher of
a periodical Journal, called The Telescope, for the pub-
lication of a libel on Lord Kennedy. The application
was made on the affidavit of Lord Kennedy, who
stated that he came to town on Friday, and read in the
defendant's paper a paragraph to the following effect :
44 It was repotted yesterday, that the celebrated shot,
Lord K—r —y was detected in a cituation with the wife
of a respectable Commoner which may lead to steps
among tte Gentlemen of the Long Robe, if the offendal
husband is not already satisfied with the chastisement
inflicted." The Noble Lord further stated, that he be.
lieved the letters K—n—y applied to himself, and that
there was 1:0 found.cion for the said report, which was
.taste and libellous.
The Court granted a rule to shew cause.
Mr. Winnow moved for a rule to chew cause why
a criminal information should not be filed against Mr.
John Sayce, for challenging Mr. Michael Jones to fight
a duel. The parties were described in the affidavits as
Gendarme," but the Learned Counsel had reason to
believe that they were respectable farmers, occupying
their own estates in Shropshire. On the day mentioned
in the affidavits, Mr. Jones was looking after his flock
cu a neigroouriog hill, when he met Mr. Sayce. The
tight of depasturing on the hill had been in litigation
between. the patties, at d Mr. Sayce, addressing Mr.
Jones; said, 0. if you will meet me here to-morrow
morning, at six o'clock, with a pair of pistols, we'll
settle our disputes finally ; and if you have not pistols
111 leud you mit:c." Under these circumstances, the
applicatiou was made.
_ The Coc ar :aid, it appeared to be a matter which t0i7,13t be set-
. tled 3otne other teibuoal, and therefore refused the Rule.
