LAW INTILLLRiENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Novamisk 22.
IN RE-ELEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR decided in this case, that the
Oversew's of Newington Parish are not the trustees who
are entitled to hold under the demise, and that it must
be referred to the Master to report who are the proper
truste.-s: all other matters to remain iu statu po until
the Mastis shall have made his report.

11-PART! GRIMSTEAD IN THE HATTER OF HOWARD
AND UIRSSr BANKRUPTS.

Mr. MONTAGU said, in consequence of his Lordship's
obliging offer to hear and decide upon this case finally,
and without further proceedings, his client was ready
to wave the new trial at law which the Court had
granted hitn, and abide by his Lordship's decision. To
this the assignees and all parties concerned now as-
sented. It only remained for his Lordship to fix a day
for the hearing.
Mr. Tamove expressed the readiness of the assignees to ac-
quiesce in any decision of his Lordship upon the case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would under-
take to decide, since the parties wished it, but not with
a great deal of pie 'sure, as Mr. Montagu had suggested.
In remarking, as he had done, that questions of bank
uptcy were not well tried by an issue sent to the Courts
of Law, he by no means ever intended it to be under-
stood that a Jury was not a tribunal greatly to be
preferred to his individual judgment in most cases. lie
thought that the Counsel should so far accommodate
him and the suitors of the Court as to have the hearing
fixed in some day of the Christmas vacation.
It was subsequently agreed that the argument should
be limited to one Counsel on each side, and those to be
considered retained merely to perfect the Court in
the recollection of the facts scattered through very lumi-
nous papers, which had been before used in the cause.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT; NOVEMIEI
HILL V. REARD'JN AND DEVEREUX.

It appeared from the pleadings in this case, and from
the statements of Counsel, that the subjects in dispute
arose out of transactions which began many years ago.
A Mr. and Mrs. Fanning quitted Ireland in the year
1776, and went to France, where they fixed their resi-
dence. They purchased landed property of great ex-
tent in the departmeht fLa Sarthe, and by the docu-
ments which secured the transfer of the property, it ap-
peared that the conveyance was made to the husband
and wife en conmunante, and as a proof that the in-
terest of the wife was considerable, it was stated that
Mts. Fanning was described by the title of La haute et
'lris puissance Dame, &c. Marie Theodosia Francois
Butler. Mr. and Mrs. Fanning remained in possession
of this propetty for several years, and during that
period they bad two cli;liien—a son and a daughter.
In the year 1788 Mrs. Fanning died, and Mr. Fanning
retained the dominion over the property. The troubles
of the Revolution commencing soon afterwards, the
British family of Fanning became citajects of suspi-
cion, and at length, in the year 1792, Mr. Fanning,
accompanied by his son and daughter, found it
[access try to quit France, and they came to England.
By virtue of an edict passe,i by the National Conven-
,.ion, :he confi,cation of his preputy followed this step,
and it was altogether seized upon by the Government.
A large portion. of it was immediately sold, and. fell
:nto the hands of various purchasers. The Gowen:.
men!, however, chose to retain one part of it ; and this
never having beeri :alienated, formed the subject of the

':

revel: suit. It consisted of 166 hectares of timber land,
and was I.re<erved for the use of the nation, on account of
its being extremely valuable. The son end daughter
of Mr. Fanning died intestate, the letter in 1801, and
the former in 179 k, leaving their father then alive. He
returned to France in 1809, and died in 1806, hay*
first made a will, by which he bequeathed oneehist of
all his property to certain charitable institteions in.,lre-
land, and appointed James Devereux, Esq. his resi-
duary legatee aril joint executor, with. Pr. Walsh. This
will was duly .proved by Mr. Devereux, who imme-
diately proceeded to act ite his capacity of executor. ,
By one of the articles in the treaty. of the Allied
Powers with France, and by a law subsequently passed
in pursuance of the ti eaty, it was provi kJ, that all .t4e
sequestrred property of emigtants seeich battiest been
alienated, should be restored, or that a reneortience
indemnity should he given to the representatives r4e
emigrants Me Dever cur acne lingly preferred Isis
claim to the Commissioners appciiivd under the lase,
and after it bad been duly investigated, a sum of sem
hundred thousand francs and upwards was awarded to
him, on account of the property of the late Mr. Fan-
.ning. A part only of this sum had been actually paid,
and the remainder was put in a course of liquidation in
the manner oi:eight prover by the Commissioners.
The present suit was instituted by a person claiming
to he entitled, through the children of the late Mr. Fan-
ning, to the property belonging to him and his wife.
The ground of this claim was, that the property, from
the circumstances under which it had been purchased,
was in the nature of an entailed estate, and that it could
never ascend in succession ; that, therefore, the father,
the testator, could never have inherited or acquired any
right in it, and that consequently his disposition (alit
by will must have been invalid. In support of this
view of, the ease, ti.e article 1201 of the Code Civil,
which enacts " Lorsque le testateur aura legue la chose
d'autrni, le legs sera nul, snit tine la tevateur ait conntr,
ou non, ne lui appartenoir tins," was chiefly re-
lied principle of universal justice which must
regulate testamentary dispositions in every community.
GaltithrT, behalf el the Conimissiolers of
Charitee-e Donations and Bequests in Ireland, appeared
tor the purpose of receiving the share which had been
bequeathed by the testator I'r the benefit of charities.
The defendants were Mr. D trereux and Mr. Reardon,
to whom Mr. D vereux had given a charge upon the
indemnity awarded hint for monies received.
Mr. HART, who was Counsel for the defendants, was
prepared to deny the sufficiency of the proofs offered by
the plaintiffs, that the property had been entailed in
the manner asserted. lie urged that from the nature
of the estate, as well as flow the provisions of :the
French law, it was impossible that the contrary conch!.
siert could be arrived at. The opinions of two eminerit
French lawyers, which established this prisition, were
read by the Counsel: but the point chiefly relied
upon • was, that the case bein one which de; ended
wholly upon the laws and customs of France, was
without the jurisdiction of this Court. The question as
to whether the testator, Mr. Fanning, had or had not a
right to dispose, after the death of his children without
issue and intestate, of the property which he and his wife
had held ea communamtj? was one which could never be
asceriained by the rules adopted by the English juris-
prudence. The award of money being to represent, or
in the place of that property, must be subject to
the same conclusions; and thus it was argued that
part of the case stood wholly beyond the reach of
the Court. With this, then, fell the right of the
parties instituting the suit, and none of the plain-
tiffs, excepting the Commissioners of Charitaisle
8.-
quests, had made out a case which entitled them to
any relief. As tar as the disposition of that part of the
property which the testator had directed to be applied
in Great Britain, whether for charitable purposes or
otherwise, the orders of the Court would, of course,: be
to be obeyed. But Mr. Devereux had already proved
his right to this property under the will of Air. Finning.
He bad preferred his claim before the Commissioners,
under an Act of the 59th of the late King, which was
passed to regulate the claims of British subjects who
had held property in France. In the course of that in-
vestigatien all the circumstances of the family of Fp-
ning had been detailed, but the Commissioners decided
that Mr. Fanning was it naturalised French subject, and
that therefore he was not included in the Act of Parlia-
ment referred to. Against this decision Mr. Devereux
appealed to the Privy Council, who decreed in his favour,
and the cause being thus sent back again to the Com-
missioners, it was decided by them with a reference to
the law of France.. That law was in support of the claim
of Mr. Devereux, and made the elder Mr. Fanning the
representative of whatever interest his children had
taken. The Commissioners then pronOunced him en-
titled to the amount of indemnity beforementioned. It
was observed also, that but for the exertions which Mr.
Devereux had made, the property would have been
wholly lost, because the time limited. by the Act of
Parliament had nearly expired, and would have ex-
pired before the parties now claiming could have taken
any prcceedings.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contended, that although
Mr. Devereux had obtained possession of the property,
he was only to be regarded in the light of a trustee,
and that the Court had power to compel him to refund
to the plaintiffs the sums which had been awarded to
him. He denied that the decision of the Privy Council
did any more than to ascertain and confirm the legal
rights of Mr. Fanning, and that the question of the
d.stribution of those rights among Iris heirs was still to
be settled by a Court of Equity.

Mr. Hoene and Mr. WAKILFILLD were heard on the same aide.

Mr. WRAY, for the Crown, was about to argue that
none of the parties had any claim on the property,
but had devolved on the Crown, when he was stopepd by
The VICE-CIIANCELLCR, who bail that the Case WAS
to be argued on its merits. The claim of the Crown
must be through Mr. DJvereux, and it could not, there-
fore, be urged against him.
On Mr. \Vitae attempting to resume his argument, his Honour
declared he would not bear him.
Mr. WRAY then said that he should appeal against his Honour's
decision, and should make the grounds of his appeal the present
refusal to hear him.
After Mr. IIaRT had replied,
The VICE•CIIANCELLOR said, he had listened-with
great attention to the elaborate discussion which this

I

case had undergone, not only on account of its novelty,
but., of its importance and he confessed that, after
riaadiss' gthe Convention and the Aet of Parliameat, he
as nut_ Weiraxed to say, from anything that had been
advanced; thartbix Court had any jurisdiction whatever.
It was not his present intention to enter at length into
the arguments of C ronsel, and he should merely st ite his
*Won, that no bill could be maintained in this case.—
The poverty in que.tion had never been ve.ted in the
plaintiffs; it hwatiteeit created b) the convention and by
the Act of
to;
59.11 Geo. 111. which had been
refetred and, con,eque f, every person claiming
it, must prove such claim under those conventions acid
Act of Parliament. It had been all along contended
that the plaintiff has t gists of property, but for the
reasons stated they could only be made out through
those politic acts. The argument had been, that the
deci•ios of the,Privy Council ought not to have ex-
tended to the rights of individuals: but the Act
expressly slimed, in the 15th Section, that it was the
purpose of the LeAislature to withhold from the Com-
missioners the conclusive power of trying who was
entitled to the property claimed berate them, because,
an appeal to a Court of Equity was in such cases pointed
out. He would, therefore, without further going into
the patticulars, only say that the principle was as he
ha 1 s. ated it, and that the argument as to the cam-
pe;ency of the Commissioners was repelled by this Act.
H.: would look throujkli the Act of Parliament and the
Conventions with mote attention that lie had yet been
aisle to denote to them, for the purpose of meeting all
the points which had been put, and would deliver his
opini:.n more fully on a future day. In the meantime
that opinion was, that the Court had no jurisdiction.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, Nov. 24
BUCKINGHAM V. BANKER.
This case stood over in consequence of the inabilite
of the plaintiff to establish the publication of the libel
on which it is founded, and which he discovered at a
late stage of the proceedings.. It was postponed, and
a commission granted to examine a witness in India, on
condition that the plaintiff would, during the interval,
pay the expenses of two of the witnesses to support the
defendant's pleas of justification, who have been brought
from Egypt to England.
Mr. GURNEY now moved to amend the rule for post-
poning the trial, and also for a report of the Master as
to the expenses of the witnesses. By mistake the rule
had been drawn up for the sittings after Trinity Term,
instead of this Term, contrary to the memorandum
signed by Mr. Brougham and himself. The defendant
also wished for a further allowance for his witnesses.
The Cotner granted a rule to spew cause.
IN THE MATTER OF CLARKE AND PLIMMER.

It may he remembered, that in Easter Term an ap-
plication was made by Mr. Stocks against Clarke, an
attorney, Thomas Piimmer, the father, and J .lin
Plimmer, the sou, and a rule granted to shew cause why
Clarke should not be struck off the Rolls for allowing
tke Plimmers to practice in his name, and why they
shauld not be committed for so practicing ? The case
arose in a remote part of Staffordshire, where Thomas
Plimmer resided. It was alleged, that a poor man of
the place being sued for a trifling debt, John Plimmer,
who was desk to an attorney in London, undertook his
defence, and put in a plea of misnomer. The case was
suffered to go to trial, when Clarke, chose name had
been used, appeared, and assisted in the proceedings;
a td, in the result, the client was filed N ith the debt
and costs to the amount of nearly $0!. The case was

referred to the Master, who now repotted that the :tile
ought to be made absolute against Clarke and John
• himme.r, but discharged without costs against Thomas
glimmer, whn had merely advanced money to serve
his son, v. ithout any criminal participation in the design.
Mr. CHITTY said the lute had never been served on
John Plimmer, and, therefore, he had no opportunity
of opposing it.
The Cowie then ordered the rule to be absolute against Clarke,
and discharged as to the Plinuners.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Noma's& 22.
LACE V. S. T. BILE.
In this case, a rule was obtained to set aside a bail-
bond, on the ground that the defendant was arrested
t the name of Stephen T. Silk, his name being Stephen
Thomas Si:k. The case was argued a few days ago,
when the Court took time to consider their judgment.
This day Lord Chief Justice delivered the judg-
.. ment of the Court. His Lordship observed, that the
Court found themselves not a little fettered by the cases
which had been decided on this point in this and the
o her COW ts. Under all the circumstances, and as the
defendant was led to make the application by the cases
a'ready decided, the Court would order the rule to be
made absolute, the bail-bond to be quashed, and de-
fendant to be discharged out of cus,ody, on entering a
common appearance, but upon condition of his under.
taking not to bring an action. At the same time the
Court felt it necessary to give notice, that in any case
of this kind in future, the Court would not discharge the
defendant on motion, but would leave him to his plea.
The rule VII, tben ordered to be made absolute, but without costs.
AL LLGED CONTEMPT OP COURT.—THA RP,
V. GISBORNS.

This was an action for the keep of a race-horse, and
was tried some six months since, when a verdict was
found f, r the defendant, in consequence, as the plaintiff
adleged, of the non-attendance as a witness, of a Gen-
tleman named John Hunter, a Captain in the Army.
On a former day, Mr. Serjeant Wilde, moved for a
s ule to thew cause why an attachment should not issue
against Captain Hunter, for.not attending the Court,
pursuant to the subpoena served upon him ? and today
Mr. Serjeant Vaughan was heard in opposition to the
Rule, and Mr. Serjeant Wilde in support of it; and,
from the conflicting statements of each patty, we were
enabled to elicit the following facts:—First, that Cap-
tain Hunter was a material witness on the trial; se-
condly, that he was served with a copy of a suhpcena
whilst on the race course at Epsom, en Tuesd..y, the
17th day of May last; that he ?hewed the said copy of
ti c stibpoina to a ft iend of his piesent, and asked him
what it was? to which his friend replied, 44 why it is a
obverse for )ou ro attend on the Derby:day," atter
which, the Captain tlartw the said sub, eerie back to the
patty serving it, and . feted to bribe him, to say th.it
lie could not find him, and he never attended the trial
rf the cause.
The Court was clearly ref opinion that the Captain
had be u guilty-of gloss contempt in two, instances;
first, .n not obe)i 1 its precept; and secondly, in en-
deavouring to bribe the person who was to serve it ;
conduct, as Mr. Justice Park observed, no Gentleman,
he begged pardon —no person holding the rank of a
Gentlem n—could be supposed to be guilty of; but as
the Court had not that legal proof which was neces-
sary to proceed in the summary way of attachment, it;

The c ntinued rise of the prices of every necessary
of 1 fe, lays us under the obligation of requesting the
Landed Interest to prepare for a substanti ii change in
the Corn Laws. This change, it is no w most evident
cannot much longir be deferred ; for, with abundan
harvests; with agricultural labour so cheap, that the
hardy peasant in many districts gives half his industry
gratuitously, while for the other half, to satisfy the
wants of nature, he is compelled to resort to the
parish ; with a remission of Eighteen Millions of Taxes
directly pressing on the land ; and lastly, with a me-
tallic currency, substituted by enormnus sacrifices, for a
currency in paper, which was alleged to have been in
excess, and hence depreciated ;—with all these advan-
tages in favour of the farmer, it appears, by the melan
choly ted of experience, that he is incapable of bringing
his produce to market on such terms as shall enable the
industrious mechanic to earn a livelihood. The neces-
satin of life ire still very nearly as high as ever they
were in time of war, while the poor of other nations, at
our door, abound in the means of sustaining them
selves and their families at one half the cost.—
This cannot be a natural and wholesome state of things.
Combinations, and sometimes outrages, are reso►ted to
on the part of such working classes as happen to be
congregated in large numbers within limited districts,
for the object of remedying, by an increase of wages,
the evils which press on themselves and their families
by these augtienting difficulties. But this remedy,
when obtained, or rather extorted, seems only to in
crease the mischief, by operating a further rise in the
price of commodities.
It seems in vain, therefore, by artificial enactments, ,

'Woggle against the moral and physical Irv: by sth.ch

If bread is cheap in a foreign country and dear. in
this, a supply must either he brought to the labourer
here, or he must repair in search of pov:sions where it
i. in plenty ; and this last alternative has unhappily been
selected, in consegnei:ce of the Corn La sis, to an alarm-
ing extent. Thlusands of our best mechanics and artisans
have left these shores to tarty their skill and industry to
improve the manufa-tures of France and Get many,
which, if effectual measure; are not speedily taken for
removing the temptation to emigrate, will speedily
rival those of England.
While matters remain es they are, the labourer in
this country has no option but one of three—to emi-
grate, to combine fur a rise of wages ( Lich as-
Suredir will not else be granted), or to come upon the
parish for the deficient means of supporting his family.
And it is notorious that the agricultural classes, who
cannot combine, have constantly, for many years been
obliged to adopt the latter course, which sheivs the tin•
reasonableness ad condemning combinations it: the gross
It does not appear to us that there is any remedy for
these alarming and demoralizing evils, except a free
and unrestrained importation of foreign Corn, under a
settled fiscal tar, not a prohibitive or restraining duty.
Graduated rates or taxation have been tried, and most
scandalously abused, Men, honourable in every other re-
lation of life, have felt no shame at combining to raise
nominally the price of Corn by false and forged lists of
fictitious sales. Nothing of this kind will ever succeed; and
if we really hope to see England the grand market of the
world, and her populatiint supported by hone..t industry,
instead cf vile menclicity, the supply of head must be
admitted freely, and on certain defined conditions, from
every point of the compass from which it can most
cheaply be procured.

We ate not ignorant, boss ern r, that great sactifices
will be consequent on Well a remedy. Not only will'
the landlord's rent be exceedingly diminished, but much
land will be thrown out of cultivation, which, being of,
interior fertility, is now laboured at an improvident ex-
pense. The diminished rent, however, does not imply a
proportionate diminution in the landlord's means of
maintaining his family; inasmuch as the prices of all
commodities will fall with the price of bread. And
although many agricultural labourers will be thrown
out of employ at first, the demand for manufacturing
labour will be prodigiously increased, it being a self-
evident troll) that the foreign corn must necessarily be
paid for in British manufactures or other produce,
seeing that we have no mines of gold or silver in these
Islands.

The New Catholic Assuciati-n of Ireland, met on
Saturd.ty last, in Dublin, when the usual oraors made
their accustomed display. Mr. ()tor:NELL, who nei-
ther improves in temper nor discretion, as he advance; in
age, indulged in a furious tirade against the English
press, and the English people. Ile says "there is a
rivalship of misrepresentation and calumny amongst
the London newspapers ;" nor is it to those journals
which are known for their decided hostility to
Catholic Emancipation, that he cor.fines his ac-
cusaticn, but includes the Times, and the Morning
Chronicle. The people of England are the most boast-
ful mid vain-glorious people on the face of the universe;
and he concludes the first, of at least four speeches
with the very pious w ish, " that the oppression
which had been countenanced by the English press,
should be teward, d as it deserved, by the execration of
the civilized world, and that a boasting people should
receive the recompense which they had earned—namely,
the execration of mankind."

Now, without enteting into any serious refuta-
tion of Mr. O'CoNNaLL'a calunin'es on the English
Press and the English People, we shall remind him
how •err differently he spoke of both, and that within
the last few months.

Our Readers c innot have forgotten that in the early
part of last S-ssiun of Parliament a Deputation from
the Catholics of Ireland was sent to chew cause why
the Catholic Associ ttion should not be suppressed.—
Mr. O'Coszirt.r. was of the number; and, in order to
convince the British Public of the innocent views and
the modest requests of the Irish Roman Catholics, a
general meeting was convened at Freemasons' Hall, on
the 26th of February last, when Mr. O'CoNtm.t. spoke
for some thtee or four hours. Ile did not then libel
either the English Press or the English People; on the
contrary, he declared he would appeal to English-
men, through the means of that press, which was des-
tined to bear an the wings of truth the triumph of liberty
over despotism, among the nations of the world.—
This appeal he made to the justice, the honour, the
honesty. nay, the generosity of the English people."
This declaration was answered by loud cheering
from the auditors, who were principally British Roman
Catholics ; nor was it the only compliment he paid the
English people. In alluding to the new Act of Parlia-
ment for suppressing the Catholic Association, he said,
64 he could endure it all—his fathers had endured more,
and he svpuld tell his children, that there was a good
Goo still to protect them, and that there was a goaerous
people in England who would not allow the people of
Ireland to be trod to the earth."

Again, he said, he would tell his children that " it
was impossible the just and generous people of England
should long remain parties to their oppression:*
We might select more of the sayings and doings of
Mr. Montagu., from his speeches and his letters, in
order to :hew how very differently he has spoken of the
English People and the English Press, but the passages
we have quoted are sufficient to /stove his ineou,i:teocy.
