(4W INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH tr.

The LORD Cuaricst.t.oz was occupied the whole
of this day in difpofing of various motions for pay-
ment of money into Court, confirming purchafes
under Decrees of the Court, and other matters, mnitly
of cow*, but little of any public importance or
novelty tranfpired. The following was the only cafe
of any intereß :

WHITELOCRR V. IYDRIIH•PR, &C.
The plaintiff, a pauper, moved by Mr. Nowt:tea,
his Counfel, to fupprefs the depofitions taken at
Minehead, in Somerfet, in January 1806. by William
Kinglake and Richard Mead, Commiffioners in this
caufe, for partiality and in)ullice. The Counfel for
the Commiflinners °piloted the motion, in limine, on
the grounds that the plaintiff was a pauper, who for
years had haraffed fome of the firft people in the
country, fuch as Sir Philip Hales, Mr. Luttrell, &c.
by his claims for elates, amounting to go,oool. a year
and upwards. The LORD CHANCELLOR defired to hear
a fummary flatement of the cafe, which was as fol-
lows :—The plaintiff's father, John Whitelocke, a
pofthumous child (his mother having died in labour
of him), being heir at law to all the Whitelockes of
Devon and Somerfet, had been fecreted nr ikolen, by
the hulbands of his coufins, the Mitres Whitelocke,
and brought up in oblcurity with one John Widlake,
whole name was impofed epon him. Meanwhile
the elates were feized and difpoftd of. This per.
fon, in 1788, difcovering his name and family, and
being in a pun workhoufe at Catcoinbe, which was
on part of his own elate, ferved his ejeftments for the
recovery of the lands; on which fome of the Defen-
dants, competing the pain vellry, Allred him that
he muff relinquilh his claim to the effates, and on his
refuting In to relinquith his claim, they would no
longer afford him parochial relief. The day of this
refufal he was found dead on the highway. Since
the execution of the above commiffun, and after all
monuments, tombllones, arms, and other memorials
of the Whitelocke family were totally detroyed, a
certain affeffment book, paired by the parifli officers,
was priainted in Court, etablithiag the name of
William Whitelocke, the Plaintiff, and his father,
the name being the chief matter in Mite. This con-
tradiaed all the depofitions fent up by the Commif-
tioners, except one.
The LORD Cuarmsta.na obferved, with ffrong
feeling, that the poor in that Court were entitled to
equal plaice with the rich ; and that whoever this
man might be, he timid take care that impartial
juttice fhould be adminii ered to him in this inltance.
He then ordered all affidavits, papers, &c. relating
to this extraordinary cafe, to be laid before him, in
order that an opportunity might be alLtded for a
fall invefligation into it.

MARCH 23.-DOWNS, V. REES GORING THOMAS, AND

THIMAS WILLIAM LOWS.

This is a Bill, the proceedings on which we have
had frequent occafion to notice; it was filed by cer-
tain creditors of the late Marquis of Donegal, who I
held debentures fecured upon his elates. His Lord.
(hip being largely indebted to his creditor-, executed
a deed of leafe and releafe to them, by which he
committed to truftees certain crimes, to raife by the
tale of them what was neceffary for the payment of
filch debts. This deed was executed with the con-
cotrrence of Lord Belfatt, who had fince fucceeded to
the marquifate. The total of the fums claimed, with
the intereft, after a lapfe of fix years, amounted to
upwards of 50,c001.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL recited, from the com-
mencement, the leading particulars of the proceed.
ings in this cattle, in which a variety of references
had been had to the Matters of the Court, and (event]
reports had been made, for the purpofe of bringing
the ethics to file; but every meafure had been found
ineffectual, in confequence of the refiffance given by
the Marquis. As late as the 26th of December fall,
Mefirs. Colley, Aldridge, and Smi:h, had written to
Lord Donegal, Rating the neceffity of his compliance
with the orders of the Court, by fopplying the do-
cuments, and explaining the terms on which the
ileafes were granted, unlels he was nrepared to fuller
a very conliderable lois in the tale, for the want of a
clear title to the purchafers, and of that information
which was always conceded in loch cafes. The
lanfwer of his Lordfitip was very concile ; it was dated
on the igth of January, In as to arrive only a few
hours before the fele. He Paid, 44 Your letter of the
26th of lag month I was favoured with, and I am
lorry it was not in my power to comply with your
defire, as you feem anxious to ferve toe. I have given
orders to my agents to refilt the fate, until th‘:re be
granted Cone authority more to the purpofe." The
authority in this cafe called in queflion was nothing
lefs than a deckee of this Court. It was a queflion
between the fuperiotity of the Lend Chanceltor and
the Marquis of Donegal. The petition by the Cre-
ditors was, that the Mader might be at lawny to
advertife and fell the eflates, to pay thefe debentures;
that he might call upon the purchafers for a depofit
lof 20 per cent. ; that the conditions of the fide might
I be, that the leafes now fubfifting steed not to be afcer.
tained, and that the counterpart of fuch leafes need
not to be delivered to the purchafers.
Mr. Harr, on the fame fide, obferved, that if it
I were not direCted that the purchafers thoold depofit
i zo per cent. his Lord fhip would let up men of draw
las bidders for the dimes, and :hut the orders of the
Court would be fruffrated. An attempt of this kind
was made by a gentleman of the name of Daniel, in
the time of Lnrd Rofslyn ; and to prevent a repetition
of it, the purchafers were to make a depofit of 25 per
cent.
Mr. Owes, on the part of the Defendant (Mr.
Thomas) Paid, that no fuch attempt had been made
by the Marquis of Donegal; and that the proper re•
gard being had to the courfe of proceedings in equity,
no fuch order could be given, wild.; fuch pratices
had actually been carried into effete. His client, Mr.
' Thomas, at the fame time, wilted to throw no impe-
diment in the way of juffice, but to comply (trialy
with the mandate of the Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR felt no difficulty in effec-
tuating the ends of jultice. Lord Donegal granted
debentures, to the amount of 4o,o.:01. and upwards,
as a charge upon his real eftates, and there had been
a decree for the tale of them. There was no doubt
ihefe would be fufficient, and he was glad that the
creditors would be paid th!ir kill demands. It was
defirable, however, that the tale should proceed to
the heft advantage for the fake of the proprietor, but
it would be his Lordfhip's own fault if it were other-

wife. He was rending in Scotland, our of the jot if
dietion of the Court, but he would be fully apps i'eti
of his fituation. The prayer of this petition, there-
fore, ought to be granted. His Lordlhip added, " I
(hall never be difpofed to help thofe perfons, or the
reprefentatives of fuch perfons, who are endeavouring
to retain property, and to leave the creditors on that
propeity unfatisfied."
