LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S ISENCH, NOV. li.
Tits LING V. WARM.
The defendant was brought up for judgment,
having been convicted at the last Assizes at Glou-
cester of disturbing a Congregation assembled for re-
ligious worship. at Newnham. It appeared from the
report that the house, which was registered and li-
censed for public worship according to the Dissenting
form, had been attacked at various times, the side of
the house beaten in, the chimney pulled down, and
finally the house itself destroyed, and that the defen-
dant was one of the persons who attacked the house
on the evening on which the chimney was pulled down
and the congregation dispersed.
Mr. JERVIS stated, that be was desired to move in
arrest of judgment, conceiving, that under the Act
, of 52 Geo. 111. this offence was cognizable only at

the Quarter Sessions.
Mr. ARROTT, for the proseootion, referred the Court
to a case in the sth volume of the Term Reports,
512, on the construction of a clause in the Act of
William and Mary, called the Toleration Act, using
precisely the same words, and in which the Court
held, that though cognizable at the quartet Sessions
the right of certiorari was not taken away, sAd con,
sequently this Court had jurisdiction.
Mr. Jervis stating that his brief had. been deli-
vered so lately that he bad not had time to look into
the point, It was agreed that the case shtulet Stand
over till Wednesday next to give him that opportunity.
THE KING v. GEORGE HATNHAM AND OTHERit
Mr. DAUNCEY moved the judgment of the Court
upon C. Raynham, S. Averall, J, King, T. Kings
Susannah G'r;pseley, and Mary Saunders, all con•
eicted belere Mr. Justice Wood, at Qloucestes As-
sizes, of having riotoudy, tumultuously, and unlaw-
fully assembled, at the town of Newnham, in Glou-
cestershire, together with several other persons,
amounting in number to nearly one hundred, on the
evening of Sunday, the Bih of January last, and in-
terrupted an assembly of Dissenters, met together to
perform Divine Wm ship. From the evidence it ap-
peared, that the house m which the meeting was
held was nearly pulled down by the mob, and some
of the congregation severely hurt by blows from
stones and pieces of ice, which were thrown at them
by the assailants.
The Court, alter severely animadverting on the
conduct of the defendants, sentenced them to be im-
prisoned in GLiucester Gaol for three mouths.
THE KING V. =AIM AND HOWELL.
Mr. Serjeant Bar moved the judgment of the
Court on the defendants, who were convicted before
Mr. Justice Le Blanc, at the last Sussex Assizes, of
a conspiracy to depress, and, as far as in their power
lay, to ruin Messrs. Wigley, Stamford, and Valance,
the partners in the Brighton Bank, by collecting to•
gether as many of their notes as they possibly could,
and after having mutilated, torn, and blotted them,
so as to render them unfit again to be put into circus
lation, returned them into the said Bank, to the great
loss and injury of the prosecutors.
The COMMON SERJEANT, for the defendants, ad-
dressed the Court in mitigation of punishment.
Mr. Justice Le Bt.aNc delivered the judgment of
the Court ; and, in doing so, observed, the defen-
dants stood to receive judgment, convicted of a very
serious offence ; that offence aggravated by the situa-
tion of life in whieh they were. It appeared they
were both tradesmen, and therefore could not be ig-
norant of the value of credit and character to every
person in trade ; but more especially to the'prosecu-
tors, who were bankers, issuing notes, the value of
which mainly depended on the degree of credit those
stood in who issued them. It appeared from the evi-
dence, that in consequence of the prosecutor's having
pressed one of the defendants, for payment of a sum
of money due to them, and refused to give further
credit to him, notwithstanding the other defendant
had offered his note of hand that they had deter-
mined to ruin as far as possible the credit of the pro-
secutors. They had declared war against these pro-
secutors, and for some time carried it on with sue,
cess, having in the course of six weeks obtained
1,0(,0 worth of their notes, and paid them into the
Batik ; an further. to distress the prosecutors, pre.-
vions to so paying them in, they had mutilated them
such a manner as to render them unfit for re-issu-
ing, which by law the prosecutors would otherwise
have been entitled to have done. Now the bankers
were liable to have their notes paid in at any time
those who held them thought fit, yet no person was
authorised to go about es the defendants had done,
collecting such notes and then paying then. in ; sent
sometimes tied round the neck of a dog ; sometimes
by ostlers, and in other ways, so as to render the
run upon a particular concern public and notorious,
and to hold the persons concerned up to public con-
tempt and ridicule. With respect to the offers of the
defendants, to make atonement to the prosecutors,
these offers had nut been accepted. The defendants
were brought up for judgment, and the Court could
not now take those offers into consideration. After
duly considering the otience of which the defendants
had been guilty, and the mischiefs which it was cal-
culated to produce, the judgment which the Court
had directed him to pronounce was—that the defen-
dants should severally be imprisoned for eighteen
months in Horiham Gaol.
THE KIND V. ELANDFORD AND THREE OVUM%

The defendants were brought up to receive the
judgment of the Court, having been convicted, at
the late Assizes for Norfolk, of a conspiracy to accuse
a man named Goggs of unnatural propensities.—B.
Blandford was sentenced to by imprisoned in Nor-
wich Castle frr 12 months ; J. Fabin, another of the
defendants, to be imprisoned six months; and J.
Jephson and W. Quclm, the other two defendants, to
be each imprisoned for three months.
DISORMIRLY HOUSES.

John Pars was brought up to receive the judgment
of the Court, having been convicted before Lord EL.
Larcaoaotiou, during last Sitting, of keeping a distil--
der-1y house in Winsley-street, Mary-la-bonne. Affi-
davits were put in by the defendant, in mitigation,
pleading ill-health ; and on the,part of the prosecu-
tion it was stated by affidavits put in, that the defen•
dant had acknowledged that he was proprietor of 19
of these houses, and had, in the course of ten years,
made 40,000 by them ; • and that, to the remon-
ances cf some of his neighbours, he replied, that it
was a profitabJe employment, and that a man was
not the worse for following it—The Court sentenced
him to pay a fine of 4500, to be imprisoned twelve

montlis. aad at the expiration ♦f that time to ester
into secognizances for his good behaviour for three
years, himself in £lOOO, and two sureties in £2OO each.

PREROGATIVE COURT, NOVEMBER 16.
WHITTLE AND CLAPTON err. BULIMIA.
This case arose respecting a codicil to the will of
Rebecca Cranmer, late of Mitcham. The will was
dated the 18th of May, 1813, and the codicil in
question, (though there were four other testamentary
papers before the Court) was dated the 25th of June,
1815, and the deceased died on the 4th of July fol-
lowing, at the age of 81-. This codicil revoked
the bequest of the residue of the deceased's property
to the children of Mr. R. Whittle, and gave it in
favour 6f the infant son of Mr. J. M. Bulmer.—Sir
J. NICHOLL, after recapitulating the articles of the al-
legation, admitted the same to proof.
DAUBENEY AND COOKE 14 POPE,
This case respects the will of Dymock, Esq.
late of Bristol. The deceased executed his will in
March, 180, and after his wife died he executed
another, and bequeathed to Miss Martha Daubeney
an annuity of £BOO a-year, for the purpose of taking
care of his two children, on which the present ques-
tion arose.—The Court admitted the allegation to
proof.

PASAE v. OLLETT AND OTHERS.
This was a cause of proving the will of Mrs. Eli-
zabeth Searle, late of Ipswich. There was no oppo-
sition made, and the Court pronounced for the same;
but observed, there was a particular feature in the
case, which it was unwilling to pass over without
notice, namely, that the will was prepared and made
by one of the executors therein named, as residuary
legatee ; and-after several pertinent observations as
to the liability of abuse and fraud in such cases, said
this case differed ; as here was clear prouf that the
deceased insisted on this person making her will, and
at a time when she was in a state of entire capacity.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. DUMAN. NOV. tn.
DociOn TROY AND THE 011/..LIN GRAND RAY.
This day, atter twelve o'clock, the crier was di-
rected by the Court to call the Rev. Joho Duffy,
who, it appeared, had 6: en set veil with an order to
attend the Court.
The Rev. Gentleman not being in attendance,
GEORGE FRENCH. Esq. as his counsel, assured the
Court, that he must have been detained by some ac-
cident, as he hid seen him at nine o'clock, when it
was his determination to attend. Mr. French prayed
the Court to postpone the matter till to-morrow, to
which the Court had acceded, when Mr. Duffy ap-
peared, and was directed to come as near as possible
to the Bench.
CHIEF Amur.— How long, Sir, since you were
appointed Catholic Chaplain to Newgate ?
Rev. Mr. DUFFY.—I really do not know, my
Lord ; but the Grand Jury have appointed me for
life, after. a week's deliberation on my arguments,
and
CHIEF Jusvcr.—Have you discharged the duties
of a Chaplain since your appo.ntnrcnt by the Grand
JuryM
r. DUIPIPT.—My Lord, I would have done it, if

my Prelate had not prevented me.
CHIEF JUSTICE.—Was any violence offered to you
by any person in the gaol, which could prevent your
attendance ?
Mr. Lhrev.—Certainly not.
CHIEF jUiTICE.—Then, Sir, you have not dis-
charged the clu.y ?
Mr. DUFFY.—My Lords, spiritual obedience is the
first principle of the Catholic Church, and I might as
well attempt to destroy the entire Christian Church,
as to subvert any one f the principles.
CHIEF JUSTICE.I merely wished to ascertain the
fact, whether or not you discharged the duties of Ro-
man Catholic Chaplain to the gaol of Newgate, and
I fiud you have nut. Our conduct is directed by an
Act of Parliament, which we are bound to follow
without either abating or exceeding its directions.—
It was our province to recommend, if we thought
proper, to the Grand Jury to appoint a ItotrErn
Catholic Chaplain to Newgate ; we had no power
to particularize any individual, and Gen for.
hid we ever should exceed our powers. The Grand
Jury _accordingly appointed this G,entleman ; —but
owing to some interference he has not discharged the
duties of the station, and, therefore, must be removed
by this Court, to which the Legislature has entrusted
the right of enquiry into the transaction.
Mr. 11eprz.—My Lord, I have not been allowed
to attend.

Caner Junior.— All that is necessary for us to
know is, that the Gentluntan did not attend. He says
he was prevented—
Mr. Durrif.—..(interrupting)--By my Superior,
my Lord.
Claw Jusr;ce:—(sarcastically)--You may call
him your Superior, Sir, if you wish ; and I am sure
you think him so, but I know nothing about him.—
Had the Gentleman been prevented by illness, or
any legitimate cause of absence, we should certaii,ly
;mend to him tl:c indulgenze, which, in such a Cabe,
he would have a right to expect. We unlit direct
his dismissal, and desire the Grand Jury to proceed
to the appointment of another.
Mr. Duerv.—My Lord, I am appointed for life,
and am to receive the salary whether in England,
Ireland, France, or America. The Grand Jury have
so determined.
Mr. FRENCH.—My Lord, I would beg leave to
offer a few words on behalf of Mr. Duffy.
Justice OSRORNE.—Do you mean to deny the fact
of non-attendance ?
Mr. FRENCH.—Certainly not, my Lord.
Justice OSBORNJI.Then you can say nothing far
the Gentleman.
Mr. Fuesicii.—l declare, my Lord, that it is very
hard it a respectable Officer of the Court, who is
threatened with dismissal, shall not be allowed the
benefit of Counsel.
Justice DALY. —Mr. French, if you mean to con-
tend for the legal admissibility of the cause which
pre vented his attendance, I, for one, most certainly,
will not hear you.
Mr. FRENCH.—No, my Lord ;—what I mean to
skew is, that the duty hies been performed by some
persons, and; therefore, that it is not a case requiring
the interference of the Court, as the object of the Le-
gislature has been satisfied.
Justice 011101INE--The Statute does not permit
that the duty should be done by proxy.
Mr. FRENCII.—My Lord, Dr. Troy threatened to
excomunicate him.
Mr. Dunes.—Yes, my Lord, if I should even di:.

tribute the bread.—Mr. Frtexem—He would
even allow him to distribute the bread, my Lord:
have the letter of the Prelate in my hands, in ad
he threatens him.

CHIEF JUSTICE.—We must discharge our (tiny
therefore dismiss the Gentleman. I certainly 1
his situation very much, but we have no dsc,
left to us. AU I shall say in addition to wh .t
already stated, is, that i± the power of the I.e
titre of this Corn t, and of the Gran.l Jury,
