LORD BYRON.

Yesterday morning the furniture and effects of his
Lordship were cleared from the vessel, and conveyed to
the residence of Sir Edward Knatchbull, No. 20, Great
George-street, Westminster, where the body now lies.
It is the intention of his Lordship*: executors to let the
body lay in state for a few days, and the front parlour
of Sir Edward's house is to be appropriated to that pur-
pose. It is lined throughout with black cloth, and has
a very sombre appearance: Yesterday morning the
Honourable Mrs. Lee, sister to his Lordship, was shewn
the corpse of her noble brother, in the presence of the
executors. The coffin is of a most beautiful description,
and there are four vases, which are to contain the
heart, ikc. It is not yet decided whether his Lordship
will be interred at Newstead Abbey, or at Westminster.
The late Lord Byron's Will passed the Seal of the
Prerogative Court, in Doctors Commons, on the 6th
instant, probate being granted to John Cam Hobhonse,
Esq. and John Hanson, of Chancery-lane, Est, the exe-
cutors. The personal estate in England was sworn under
10,0001. The will is dated the 29th of July, 1815, and,
with the exception of a bequest of 1,0001. each to his
Lordship's executors, is made solely to benefit his
sister, Augusta Mary Leigh, wife of George Leigh, Esq.
and her children; Lady Byron and any family he might
have, being stated to be otherwise amply provided tor.
The Manor or Lordship of Rochdale, in the county of
Lancaster, is given to the executors in trust, to be
sold for the above purposes ; as is also the Manor
I and Estate of Newstead, in the County of Notting-
ham, which latter is subject to a charge of 60,0001.
for fulfilling the trusts of his marriage settlement,
but which sum, or any part thereof, not so appro-
priated, is to constitute part of the general estate. Mrs.
Leigh is to have a life-interest, free from her husband's
controul, and her children are to inherit the principal,
according to her appointment by will or otherwise,, and
failing such provision, in equal portions, to sons at 21,
end to daughters at that age or marriage, with benefit
of survivorship. There is a codicil annexed to the will,
dated at Venice, the 17th November, 1818, bequeathing
to his executors 5,0001. in trust for the benefit of Alle-
gro Byron, an infant about twenty months old, " by me
brought up, and now residing at Venice," to be paid to
ber at twenty-one, or marriage," provided she does not
many a native of Great Britain." The interest in the
meantime for her maintenance and education.

TITHES is vita CITY OF LONDON.—Yesterday Mel

After some conversation, the LORD Maroa dismissed
the case, as Mr.Motiztovas declined going into the
case without further preparation. Mr. MoNattonsit
intimated bit determination to bring it forwerd again,
and will therefore have to commence de novo.
DRAT/1 OY A Wrrett—ln the department of the
Drome a woman was lately killed, under the extraordi-
nary impression that she was a witch. This woman
was paid by the peasants of her neighbourhood for
telling thein good fortune, or for abstaining from doing
them harm. She lately went to the farm of a peasant,
and asked a reward for nolyaring the danger which
threatened his tattle. He refused her request, and
treated her pretensions with insult. Soon after he lost
some of his cattle, and his wife and children fell ill.
He immediately ascribed these calamities to the super-
natural influence of the hag i but so far front being
terrified at her power, he took his On, repaired to her
house, and deliberately shot her dead. The misguided
man is to be tried at the approaching Assizes for the de-
partment of the Drome. He acknowledges the act of
which- he vitas guilty, bet declares that he shot the devil
under the form of the wicked hag.
The pickpockets yesterday, at Hounslow, made a rich
harvest; 41 never was such times" tars their cry, and
what appeared to them and the public not a little sin-
gular, the " robin red breasts," or day patfol, were
nowhere to be seen, an that depredations went en with
perfect impunity, and organized gangs were teen every
where at wrk.

VICE-CHANCICLLOWS COURT, JULY 7.
This being the last day of Term, his Honour was oc-
cupied in hearing motions. With the exception of the
following, none occurred of any importance.
110111101/32 AND HANSON V. DALLAII, KNIGHT. AND

coLsuatr.
Mr. HEALD, shortly before the rising of the Court,
requested his Honour to hear a short motion which he
had been prevented by accident from making before the
Lord Chancellor. The plaintiffs were John Cam Hob-
house, Esq. and John Hanson, Esq. the executors and
administrators of the late Lord Byron, and they prayed
that an injunction might issue to restrain the defen-
dants, Robert Charles Dallas Esq. Charles Knight, and
Henry Culburn, from publishing certain letters written
by the late Lord Byron to his mother. The grounds
upon which the application was made were these :
Previously to the year 1811, the late Lord Byron wrote
several private and confidential letters to his mother,
Catherine Gordon Byron, who in 1811 died intestate.
Her son, the late Lord Byron, as heir-at-law, took out
letters of administration, and obtained possession of the
letters which he had previously addressed to his Mother.
Being subsequently about to leave the country, his
Lordship placed the letters in the hands of the defen-
dant, Robert Charles Dallas, for safe custody. It was
supposed that Mr. Dallas had either sold the letters to
the defendants, or had entered into partnership with
them to publish them. The Learned Counsel then read
an affidavit, which had been filed by the plaintiffs in
support of the injunction. It set forth that in the years
1809,1810, and 1811, the late Lord Byron wrote seve-
ral letters to his mother, which were private and con.'
fidential, and not intended for publication: that the
mother of his Lordship died in 1811, and that his Lord-
ship administerOd to her estate and effects; and became
possessed of the aforesaid letters: that the plaintiffs be-
lieved that his Lordship was in the habit of correspond-
,
mg with the defendant, Mr. DAM:, and was on terms
of intimacy with him; and that his Lordship, on quit-
ting England, intrusted Mr. Dallas with the letters
aforesaid : that the plaintiffs believed that when the
deAth of his Lordship became known, Mr. Dallas as-
sumed a title to, and claimed a copyright of the let-
ters, formed a plan to publish them, and agreed to sell
such pretended copyright to Charles Knight, of Pall-
mall East, bookseller, and Henry Colburn, of Ne*
Burlington-street, bookseller, who, in consequence, had
published an advertisement in the papers of July 4,
stating that on the 12th of July instant would be pub-
lished “ Lord Byron's Private Correspondence, includ-
ing his Letters to his Mother ; written from Portugal,
Spain, Greece, and other parts of the Mediterranean.
Published from the originals, with' motes and observa-
tions by R. C. Dallas, Esq."
The VICSXHANCELLOR directed the injunction,
