VICF-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 6.
BOOTH V. GARRAWAY.

This case was concluded from a former hearing. It
appeared that the testator, a Mr. Wilson, died in July
1799, in the island of Grenada, and directed by will
that his property in the island should be sold, and re-
mitted to England, to Messrs. Nesbitt and Co. for in-
vestment in the Funds. He also willed 1001. to be paid
to James Wilson, and the remainder of the.interest of
the.said stork to be divided, share and share alike, be-
tween his wife and the present plaintiff, Mrs. Booth.—
He further directed, in case of the death of either of
these Ladies, her share should go to the said James
Wilson, and the whole interest, at the death of both,
to the Magistrates of Banff, for charitable purposes.—
James Wilson, jun. and Mrs. Wilson, having died, the
question arose whether the Magistrates at Banff had a
right to his 1001. a-year, and the share of Mrs. Wilson,
during the life of Mrs. Booth.
His Hot/ova, ow perusing the papers, decided that
the executors of Imes Wilson were entitled to the in-
terest during the life of Mrs. Booth.

COURT Or KING'S BENCH, JULY 6.
MAIM OK THZ BISHOP OF rICSTZEI• THZ KING V.
PAVICT AND ROWLAND. .
The defendants, the publisher and ptoprietor of the
Real John Bull Newspaper, appealed to receive the sen-
tence of the Court, having suffered judgment by de-
fault, for publishing a libel on the -Bishop of Enter.
The libel charged the Right Rev. Prelate with im-
proper motives towards a Clergyman in the county of
IDevon, against whom proceedings had been insti-
tuted in the Ecclesiastical Court, which was proved to
be utterly false.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in delivering the judgment of
the Court, said, it was unnecessary for him to make
any observations on the nature of the libel. His reason
for not making more particular comments was this;
the defendants were not the authors. Their affidavits
had stated that they were not implicated in the specific
malignity of the libel. It was a •iolent attack on a
pecwn high in the Church, and the Clergy in general.
It appeared this was inserted in the paper without the
concurrence of either of the defendants. The Printer
was described to be a person receiving only 16s. a-week,
and having no advantage in the paper. He was per-
suaded that person was only lent to the publication, and
that his name was used as printer to enable others to
evade the Act of Parliament. Counsel in support of
the prosecution had stated, that so far as Rowland was
concerned he had done all he could to bring the person
who had acted criminally to justice. That person had
left his situation, and was suffering the punishment oc-
casioned by leaving that situation; but it was of high
importance that persons who stood in the situation of
publishers should know what they published, and that
they should never suffer their papers to be vehicles for
slander. The Court, taking into consideration all the
circumstances, did order and adjudge that John Pavey
pay a fine to the King of 101. and give sureties for
three years, himself in 1001. and two others in 201.
each. That Richard Rowland pay a fine to the King
of 1001. and give sureties for three years, himself in
2001. and two others in 1001. each.

MACKIINSIR V. FREE.
Mr. BROUGHAM shewed cause against a Rule pre-
viously obtained in this case by Mr. Storks,for changing
the venue from Bedford. The plaintiff, Mary Mac-
kensie, had preferred an indictment against the defendant,
the Rev. Mr. Free, of the Rectory, Sutton, Bedford-
shire, for an alleged assault. The defendant made an
affid;vit, stating that he could not obtain a fair trial,
upon the ground of the entertained against him
in the neighbourhood.
Mr. BROUGHAM read an affidavit from the plaintiff,
and another from Mr. Burgoyne, the Churchwarden of
the parish of Sutton, stating that if Mr. Free had in-
curred any it was Of his own seeking.
The Loan Cam JUSTICE said, that though the ill-
repute might have arisen from misconduct, stilt the de-
fendant was entitled to a fair trial, and Ordered the
cause to go to Huntingdon for trial.—Rule discharged.
NESTOR V. NEWCOME.
The plaintiff, who resides at Rabley-house, Hertford-
shire, brought an action of trespass against the defen-
dant, who is a Magistrate for that county, for having
entered the plaintitis dwelling-house, and having dis-
turbed his papers, &c. on the evening that. Surgeon
Conolly was arrested at Rablephouse.—To this action
the defendant pleaded the seneral issue, also a special
plea of leave and llcenue. The plaintiff by his replica-
ticin denied those pleas, and thereupon issue was joined,
and the cause was set down for trial for the ensuing
Assites for Hertfordshire.
On a former day Mr. BRODRICK obtained a rule
calling upon the plaintiff to shew cause.why the defen-
