THE REP. C. C. COLTON.
The Gazette of she this month

_ beginning of .
nounced, amongst the bankrupts, " the Rev. Charles
Caleb Colton, late of Prince's-street, Soho, wine-mer-
chant;" and the second meeting of his creditors has
taken place without the bankrupt appearing, or, any
information respecting him being forwarded to the.,
Commissioners. Previoudy to the declaration of spcki
bankruptcy, Mr. Colton had been entirely lost sight of,
by his friends in tows, since May 29. He was neither
to be found at his residence, nor to be seen at a tavern
near St. Martin's-lane, where he was accustomed to
meet some select friends, nor even to be heard of any
where among his acquaintance. Though this occa-
sioned some surprise and- inquiry, it did not excite
alarm, on account of Mr. Colton's eccentric habits, and
as he had been frequently known to leave London, for,
a short period, without any particular preparations for
'his journies. Nor did his absence produce any parti.
cular notice, till the bankruptcy, to the surprise of all
who had any knowledge of .1 r. Colton, appeared in
the Gametic. Though Mr.Colton had speculated, and
largely too at times, in the Funds, in purchasing wines,
bullion, paintings, &c. he was never viewed as other
a man of ample means. He frequently displayed
his fingers diamond rings worth 200 i. or SOOl. or
more, each ; a thick and long gold chain from his waist-
coat pocket, passing over a portion of the coat to his
watch ; and it he wanted a note, he would select it from
a bundle; or a sovereign, he would draw a Irandful out
bf his pocket.
r For some time it was supposed, and given out, that
'Mr. Colton had gone to Calais; but what
„was the au-
ihority or motive for such a statement cannot now be
ascertained; but it answered its object, if it resulted
from design, as it put an end to the inquiries of his
friends about him. Time continuing to elapse, and then
the bankruptcy being proclaimed, but still without
bringing tidings of Mr. Colton, some anxiety was felt
by his more intimate friends; and this anxiety became
the stronger after the murder of Mr. Wear e. The last,
tiles Mr.Colton was seen, lie was at Epsom Races; in
company with Mt. Wears: inquiries lead to the belief
that Mr. Cohan had been to the gambling-mom in which
Weare was interested, and which was frequented by the
Martell party. It is known he had been in such company.
Saturday last, the second meeting of the creditors of
Mr. Colton took place before the Commissioners of Bank-
rupts, at GoildhalL Assignees were to have been chosen,
and Mr. Colo* was to have surrendered himself;' but
neither proceeding took place.
The docket for the commission of bankruptcy was
struck on the application of Mr. Pratt, a paper dealer,
who of course is the petitioning creditor. The debt,
which is very considerable, is for paper supplied for
" Lacon." The act of bankruptcy is in disappearing
from his lodgings in Prince's-street, on and after the
29th of May-last. He left home that day to go to Ep-
som Rates; he was seen at those Races arm-in-anti with
Weare, the Thortells (according to thestatement of an-
other person) being also of the party ; but though his
trunks, property, &c. were left at his lodgings since that
period, the landlady, down to the present hour, declares
that all inquiries about Mr. Colton have been vain. The
same was stated to be the case with his mother, sister,
icc. and in the course of the day a Mr. Wrightson was'
mentioned as having seen Mr. Colton in October last;
but Mr. Wrightson did not appear before the Comiesisi;
simpers; but as Mr. Wrightson had been tnentioned, the
Hon. Mt. Law (one of the Comnsissibpers), seaweed slim
propriety of the Solicitor to the Commission coin:
that individual to ascertain what he knew of Mr.
Among the creditors was a wine-merchant, _whosede:t
wand was fbr upwardsof /MOO ; but, as he said-that hr
considered Mr. Colton- to have bought the wine is sell
again (which a Clergyman could not do), he was not
then allowed to prove. Mr. Deletes* was admitted a
prove for £924 for diamonds alone, which Mt. Dela.'
tons considered, calculating from the prices chat ged, i
cot to have been bought fur sale, bet for use or re-
sents. Mr. Hawley proved to the amount of upwards

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 24.
IMPORTANT TO TIIR SUITORS OP TIIR COUNT.

' Shortly after the LORD CHANCELLOR had taken his
seat this morning, he observed there were a number of
Causes standing in the Court, and which hid remained
so for years. Last year such causes amounted to 53,
and at present they exceeded 90. His Lordship, there-
fore, wished it now to be understood, that he ordered
such causes to be struck out, unless good cause was
shewn why they remained. His Lordship also observed,
that he blamed no one for the delay, but he considered
it a subject which called for his serious attention ; he
therefore wished .his determination to be known, and
directed that.wotices should be sent round to all the
Law . Offices. •
'AIMS V. 1112 atswor.oe LONDON, PRATT, AND OTHERS.
In this case an application was made to the LORD
CHANCILLOR for an injunction to restrain the defendant
(the Bishop of Loudon) from inducting to the Vicarage
of St. Stephen, Coleman-street, the defendant, Mr. Pratt.
The Living or Vicarage in question was purchased by
the inhabitants of Sr. Stephen's parish from the Crown,
during the reign of Elizabeth ; and by the 82d of. Eliz-
abeth, the election to it was vested, in. the inhabitants
church and poor-rates. The Vicarage became
vacant in May, and in August last the
,election teolto
place. One of the Churchwardens was appointed Chair-
man, and the Assessorship was assigned to Dr. Lush-
ington. It was..the perpetual practice of the parishioners
'to vote by ballot, and on this occasion there was node 7,
viation from the general practice. Two of the voters
were rejected, upon the ground that they were of the
Jewish persuasion, and a third upon the ground that he
paid no church Or poor-rates. He was an apothecary
to a charitable institution; and tholgh he paid the rates,
they were.allowed to him by the Society. The success-
ful candidate obtaiosid.itioetg-seven votes.; the plaintiff,
Mr. Foyle, had nineop-five supporters; but the three re-
jected voters were on his side, and, of course, -their 're-
jection so far prevented his election. The question,
however, for the Lord Chancellor'sdecision..yas— the
eligibility of Jews to vote for the election of a Clergy-_
man of the Established Church..
The- ATTORiZT-GZNaItAL and Mt. SUODEN coD.
tended in favour of the righor.744:-.Was 4/oi3e -Chikt that,
Jews were privileged to purchase, lands and advow-

ject was iot easily accounted for. Mr. Sugden had not
concluded his argument, when •.•-•

11.111tE9ITH V. DONOVAN.,

Mr, 1-laat.n, for the plaintiff, stated, that in this cause
a bill had been filed for the plaintiff, a young man of
considerable fortune, which stated that a house of in.
trigue was kept in Norfolk-street, Grosvenor-place, by.
a Drench woman, named Madame Ileaumont,by whom
he was introduced to a young woman of•great beauty,
named Jane Amelia Rawson O'Donovan; and that by,
said Madame Beaumont, and other persons of her acr
quaintance, he was induced to indulge in habits of in-
toxication ; and that he inviter said Jane Amelia Raw-
son O'Donovan to reside with him at his housein P.trk.
street, which invitation she complied with, and resided
with him.during the month of March, 1881, and was
visited by said Madame Beaumont, and aferson named
Mary Cummings, who passed as her.aunt; and that
said lane Amelia Rawson O'Donovan. threatened:it
leave his society, unless be would make a settlement: AM
het of it'3oo a yeir ; and that, in consequence of nw
declaration, atidby the persuasion of stsid.Mary Cum.(
'stings, he was prevailed on to give said. line Amelia
Rawson O'Donovan a bead' for £1000: immediately.,
akar which she withdrew herself from his society, and
the bill prays that the bond, being. given withont c
declaim, may backdated null and void. Jane Amelia
Rawson O'Donovan put in her answer, as a minor, by
her nekt friend, named Donovan, and stated that she.
is advised, that making particular answers. to several
'ellegatiOns in the bill would subject her to peiss and
pennities in the Ecclesiastical Court, and therefore
dines answering the same; but Rated, that she did,ncli.

COURT OF KING'S 'BENCH, NOVEMBER ft.
TM! KIWI o. WIIIDICEN. -
Mr. ANDREWS said he now prevented an affidavit
from one of the two persons who had been present when
Whicker, a prisoner in Newgme, bought the horse at
Chelmsford, which he is charged to have known to be
stolen. Application had been made on a former day
(or a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring up Whicker to be
bailed, but the Court directed affidavits to be made by
two persons who were said to have been present. The
affidavit now produced stated that the deponent sx.v
the prisoner give a pony and gl. ISs. in exchange Tor
the horse; and that the other person who was then pre-
lent was now absent extending to his ditty as the guard
of a Norwich coach.
Mr. Justice SEIT (the 'only Judge present) observed,
that the most material fact aas not sworn to, viz. that
he believed the fair value to have' been given.
Mr. ANDREWS said that had been sworn by Whicker
himself, who had been a horse-dealer in Chelmsford for
14 years; had always borne an excellent character, and
had never been impeached before.
Justice Best consideied an of devit to the fact of a fair
value most material, and ordered the case to stand over.
The Cntfilt JUSTICE postponed the judg !Demi till Mr.
Justice Bayley should come.

THE KING V. WAILES AND WALTERS.
The SoctcrTon-GBNERAL moved for the judgment
of the Cbul on these 'defendants. who were convicted
of a violent assault ou a revenue officer on the coast Of
Yorkshire.

The Count. sentenced diem to be respectively iapvi•
toned for three months each to hard labour in the Nettle

. • TN THE MATTER OF EVAN DIAUDESLET.
Mr.Cueswera, moved that Evan Maudesley, brought
up from Lancaster by habeas corpus, should be admh-
ted to bail.

The defendant, a fustian-cutter at Manchester, it may
be recollected, was committed for manslaughter on a
Cotoner's Inquest, held on Mary Ann Handley, his in.
fant apprentice. The depositions charged him with
i eausin the death of the gill by hard labour, insefficient
food,. d improper collection ; but a-medical man who
atten ed her attributed her death to natural disease,
and tiler affidavits were directed to exculpate him
fro these charges. It appeared that the hours of work
wire from six in the morning till eight or nine in the
'evening—a length oftime which, it seemsois not thought
unreasonable or unhealthy at Manchester ; and there
were depositions that the child was well feJ, and that
the accusers were influenced by vindictive motives.
The prisoner was discharged on giving security CA-
his appearance, himself in 5001. and four seretiet in
50i. each. . .
