A

COURT OF CHANCERY...THIS DAT,

LORD AND LADY I►diIIIIIIOUTH.
The chief points of discussion in this cause were
ordered to stand over until Tuesday, in order that an
affidavit by Dr. Rankbead and Mr. France might be
read by the Lord chancellor.
Mr. HIALD stmngly denied the report in the daily
Papers, Of the transactions said to have taken place
in the month of October last, at Hitstborne, when he
was met by an answer that, if Lady Portsmouth was
not there she was at Whitchtirch, a mile distant.
The question to be adjusted was described as one
of the very highest importance; it was intimated that
a Commission should go down to investigate the
situation of his Lordship, and that Dr. Bankhead
would be one.
2LOPRMENTe
This morning the LORD CHANCIELLOR, immediately
on coming into Court, said he had.read the affidavits
which had been delivered to him yesterday, in the
case of Mr. Bennett (of which we gave an account),
and " undoubtedly,` said his Lordship, " this Gentle.
man has beer. guilty of a contempt of this Cciurt.—.
Upon reading these affidavits, which I have done
with great care and attention, it strikes me that this
is a case in which the party is more excusable tharsb
perhaes, any other of the kind I ever saw. If the
objection which now occurs had been known at first,
that there had been no marriage in this country, it
should hate been earlier stated—but now it will be
necessary to inquire into the ground of that objec-
tion: but the affidavits state that a multiage has been
had in France. The fir* thing then to be done should
be, that the Master inquire forthwith, whether there
has been actually a valid marriage or not ? and then
let the rest of the matter stand over un:il the Mas-
ter shall have made his report upon that fact."
Mr. HART, on behalf of the Lidy's guardians,
said they would. submit to' any order which it was
the pleasure of the Court to make. They had no
doubt of the marriage having taken place in France,
at the same time they thought that the better way
would be, that the Master should report upon the va-
lidity or invalidity of the marriage, in order that, if the
latter, a marriage should be regularly had in England
The Loa° CHANCELLOR said, that the Master's
consideration should be had on both points, and the
question would be, finally, for the Court to dispose
of, at present there was some difficulty attending it.
Mr. HART did not see by what criterion the Mas-
ter could adequately judge of the validity of the
marriage in France, for that must be, according to
French law, a legal binding marriage—a point which
both parties ought to look into.
The Loan CHANCELLOR.—" And after that point
is settled, then will come the question of settlement
to be made on such marriage; and there can be no
objection that uropositions on that point be laid, oa
both sides, berwte the Master.

The ATTORN€Y-GENERAL said, that was very
much the wish of all parties.

The LORD Cnascettort.—g, If ever there could
be a case in which the Court should not visit the
party who has been guilty of a contempt, this would
be that case, and in which the Court would be willing
to pass it over. It appears by the affidavits, as I have
no doubt the fact is, that this is a very respectable
young Gentleman ; but as to matter of character,
however excellent it may be, I cannot permit a con-
tempt of Court to take place and pass it over, on ac-
count of its being stated that the Gentleman wh• has
been guilty of it is a person of `respectable character,
for that is nut a legitimate course for the Cow t to
take: at the same time, I feel for this young Gentleman,
who seems to have been led on from step to step, vntil
he could hardly avoid doing what he has done."
The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said it appeared by the
affidavits that there was no improper intention enter-
tained by any of the parties in this case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the case to go to
the Master, and reserved the further consideration of
it till after the Report.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—FRIDAY.
The Rev. Richard Bingham, Clerk, late of Gosport,
in the county of Southampton, No. 2, Duke-street,
Portland-place, anti Ilale Magna, in the county of
Lincoln, appeared to claim his discharge. The debts
contained in his schedule exceeded the sum of Seventy
Thousand Pouseds.

From the number of opposing creditors, the case
was referred to the officer of the Court.
__

Henry Putheridge was opposed by Mr. HEATH on
die behalf of Messrs. Cook and Co.

The in• °law was a complete non mi ricordo.—
Through a very leng examination be could recollect
nothing—when he was arrested, when his stock in
trade was seized, or when he transferred his business
to his brother, although he had made'nut his balance-
sheet from memory. He did not recollect what goods
he had of Messrs. Cook, or where the bills of parcels
were of the various goods he had bought. At length
be was asked where he got the correct accounts of
his creditors' debts inserted in his schedule ? and,
after considerable hesitation, he admitted that he must
have been assisted by the bills of parcels. Remanded
till the 18th instant.

HORRIBLE DrIURDER !—Stockhoisn, October 11—
The daughter of Field-Marshal Adlercreutz, oho
performed great services to his country in 1809, has
been murdered by her female attendant, a woman
69 years old, at the seat of her mother (who is a

gone to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess, at Tulgarn. The attendant, who slept in the
same room with the young Lady, seized the child by
the hair, in the night, and cut her throat. This had
scarcely passed, when the governess entered the cham-
ber, on v hich
_the murderess gave herself several
stabs in the neck, none bf which were mortal. The
motives fur her horrid deed have not transpired.
