LAW INTELLICiENCE.

COURT' OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER xB.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

This day came on the further hearing relative
to the above concern.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL laid, the Parties had
not yet come to any agreement, having only cons-
inimicated upon the fubjeft lag night. He there-
fore wi(hed for a further delay of a few days.
The LORD CgANCELLOR laid, he had coufidcred
the fubjeft with much attention, hut he thought
that the Parties, by agreement with each other,
could do the bell juflice for themfelves.
Mr. SHERIDAN, addreffing the LORD CHANCEL-
LOR Paid, he was very Cure the bufinefs could not
be fettled without the interference of his Lard-
(hip, as there appeared to be no authority under
which the Parties could ad. He had received a
letter, he faid,from Mr. Hammer(ley, Rating that
he was ready to agree to any fair propolition made
by him (Mr. Sheridan), and on the preceding
evening he had received a communication horn
Mr. Ford, containing a propofal; he therefore did
not know how to aft amid& this difagreement in
the conduft of the Truftees.

The Loan CHANCELLOR Paid, Mr. Ford and Mr.
Hammerfley might join in any propofal, &Neel
to the approbation of the Court.
Mr. MANSFIELD laid, that Mr. Hammel-11,7 was
perfedly ready to come to any agreement with the
other Parties.
Mr. SHERIDAN raid, he did not mean to throw
any imputation upon Mr. Hammerfley ; he had
merely Rated a fad, but he thought the Theatre
could not go on without the interference of his
Lordfhip. He WAS of courfe much better acquaint-
ed with the concerns of the Theatre, and air
able to give information relative to it, than the
Counfel. Mr. MANSFIELD had on a former day
made ufe of the expreflion," If the Proprietors did
not mean to cheat their Creditors,—" he wifhed,
for the purpofe of anfwering this infinuation, to
lay all the information which he Welled upon the
&Ned, before his Lordfhip, that it might be feen
by what means the Theatre had come into its pre-
fent fituation. He wifhed to give his Lordfhip all
that information upon the fubjeet which had hi-
therto only come before the Court in (craps and
Ikea, and in a very disjointed and mutilated con-
dition. This was his only motive for troubling the
Court : at the fame time, one Truftee having cal-
led upon him for a Propofal, and the other hav-
ing made a Propofal, he was at a lots how to Rel.
-Mr. MANSFIELD &id, if he knew any thing of
the rule of Proceedings in that Court, it was that
all Information fhould come before the Court by
Affidavit, and not by afrertion. The merits of
this Cafe had been already difcuffed, but if any
perfon could Rate any new information, let him
Rate it by Affidavit and not by affertion. He had
in that cafe no objeetion to delay. With refpeet to
the infinuation which he was charged by Mr.
Sheridan with having ufed, he was bound to Rate
what was given to Kim by his Clients ; he had
fpoken according to their inaruSions, and not
from himfelf.

......
Mr. SHIMODA), laid, that he did not fuppofe the
Learned gentleman meant perfonally to throw
any imputation upon him. The Learned Genii:-
man had (aid, that whatever information was Rat-
ed Ihould be given upon Affidavit ; he bad made
an Affidavit, againa which nothing but affertions
were made on the other fide, which affections were,
be laid, ab(olute fallehoods.
Mr. Marisvir LD (aid, he hoped thole affertions,
which he bad been inftrufted to make, were un-
true.
The Loan Ctrawcassoa Paid, the Court tonic'
a& only on the grounds which were legally before
it : he couldonly found his judgment upon fuch in- ,
formation as was contained in the Affidavits of the I
Parties. He had before Rated, that this queßion
was merely between Mr. Sheridan and the Bankers,
and, he thought, Mr. Sheridan was bound by the
orders of the Court, to which he had contented.—
It was for the confideration of the Court, how far,
upon the whole equitable grounds of the cafe, the
Parties were to be releafed from the die& of thole
Orders. If any of the Parties wither! to be heard, I
he would very patiently hear them ; but he could
only decide according to what appeared upon the
Records of the Court. He had no mode of with. 11
holding the judgment of the Court, unlefs the Par-
ties brought bbeeffoore him other matters, upon which
he could regularly decide. If any perfon could
make a Motion which fhould affett the merits of
the cafe, or if any new view of the [(Mk& could
be taken and argued upon, he had no objeftion to
re.hear the arguments on both (ides.
Mr. MMISTI fJD (aid, his Clients were perfettly
Wilfred without any re-hearing.
The LORD CMAPCILLOR Cad, Mr. Ford and Mr.
Sheridan might make an arrangement fatisfa&ory
to all parties, to which Mr. Hammy might
content; the whole, of cootie, to be fubjeet to the
approbation of the Court.
lassmase (aid, if a peoporal was made to
Mr. which lu adopted, it would be

fame tling as if Mr. Ilammealty 1.4,1 ni.sl4 one

Mr. SHER/DAN raid, his objection -.vas, that nei-
ther Mr. Ford nor Mr. Hammerfley were autho-
rized to make any propofal.
Lora CHANCELLOR fait!, he did not mean
that either one fide or the other filmic) frecitically
make any propofal, but that the Patties fhould
meet, and then come to an agreement, and tub-
mit it to his approbation. If what was thus agreed
upon, appeared to him equitable and proper, he
would approve of it ; but if it appeared to him to
be incontinent with that jullice which was due to
all the parties who were in any manner interened
in the concerns of the Theatre, he would certainly
net approve of it, although it might be perieftly
fttisfactory to the actually making fuch
agreement.
Mr. SHERIDAN rote again to addrcfs the Court.
The Loan CHANCELLOR faid, he thought this
converfation was endlefs., and anfwercd no purpofe.
Mr. SHERIDAN faid, his Lordfhip had obferved,
that a new view might he taken of the lubjett : he
only wifhed to give his Lordthip tome informa-
tion relative to the concern which was now impli-
cated in the Proceedings of the court.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR faid, it was impoffible
to have all the Parties intertfted in this concern
before the Court. The Court mull either give up
its jurifdiflion altogether in this cafe, or do juflice
to all the Parties interefled, whether they were be-
fore the Court or not.

Mr. SHERIMN raid, he was fure his Lotd(hip,
in that view of the fubjcd, would with for every
information that could be obtained relative to the
fubjr~R.
The Loan CuAncettoit raid, if the Parties be-
fore the Court would put their Propofals upon pa-
per, and fubmit them to him, he would fay how
far he could confent to them, confidently with the
intereds of all the Parties interelled.

Mr. Pacer laid, that Mr. Sheridan had, in !!rift
conformity with the Orders of the Court, fent the
whole of the Pit money to the (hop of Mr. Ham-
medley, which could not fail to involve the Thea-
tre in extreme difficulty, and might render it nearly
impotale fer it to go on : he had, therefore, ven-
tured to tell Mr. Sheridan that he need not fend to
Mr. Hammerfley any more than the 451. appro-
priated for the r2yment of the Renters.
The SOLICITOR GSNIRAL Paid, he could not
help hoping that Mr. Sheridan would take a day
or two to confider thefe propofals, though there
could be no doubt that Mr. Sheridan felt an ex-
treme inconvenience from the operation of the
Orders of the Court.

The LORD CHANCELLOR raid, he witbed that
the Parties could meet and endeavour to come to
fome agreement upon the fubjeft. If they agreed,
he would then fee how far he could confent to that
agreement. If they difagreed, he mutt then de-
cide, as well as he could, for the benefit of all par-
ties interelled. If, however, they could not agree,
he had no objection to their handing their feparate
Propoiils to him.
It was then agrecdovith the confent of the LORD
CHANCELLOR, to pollpone the turther confideration
of the fubjed till Tucfday.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. iB.

This morning an affair came on highl. .inpor-
tant to the parties, whore names are Newman,
ChMlie,. Brittle, Finlay, and Hill, moll of tnem
Attornies. It will be finind not uninterelling to
the public, but as Lord Kim VON was obliged to
fit at PIO Prisu at twelve' after Mr. EILSKIN a and
Mr. GARROW bad been heard on one fide, fur-
ther proceedings were adjourned till to-morrow.
To enter into the cireumitances at prefect would
therefore be premature.
A writ of Habeas Corpus was ordered to the
keeper of the gaol of Warwick, defiling him to
produce the body of Thomas Gills. The affida-
vit on which the rule was founded Rated, that
Gills had been committed by the Comrniffioners
of Bankrupt for the following reafon : The ac-
count of his affairs being confided, the Commit.-
fioners allied him if he would give a trore correa
account ? m which queftion he would return no
other anfwer, than that be mold ea. The Learned
Counfel contended, that this was not a fuEcient
ground of commitment.
A writ of Mearlannts was moved for to the Moll
Noble the Duke of Leeds,' calling upon hini, as'
Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, to admit the
Right Hon. Thomas Conolly to certain copvhold
etLates within the laid manor, which have defeend-
,
ed upon him from his grandfather, the Earl of
Stafford. When Lord Emma had afcertained
that the tide was not in difpute, but only fome-
thing about the fines, he granted a rule to thew

The Court heard forme Cafes argued that came
from Seffions, none of which were in the leall de-
gree interefting to the Public. One was upon a de-
feftive fiatement of a County in which a Peri%
was Rated to be, the Order of Seffions having a
reference to two Parifhes, one in the County of
Wilts, the other in the County of Dorfet ; the Or-
der Rating in a part of it, si in the Paid County,"
inflead of-hating the "(aid County of Wilts."
Lord Kserom took oecafton to obferve (and we
Rate the faft for the fake of the Commentary), that
a eonfiderable time ago, a Statute was paffed to
empower Juftices at the Sellions, to alter Orders
after they were made, that is, to alter Orders as
far as it related to 'saner of farm r but, however,
it was, fume how or other, loon afterwards difco-
vered that every thing was =miter oftableau, fo
that this Statute had, from the hour of pairing it
to the prefent, been a pettedly dead letter, for he
verily believed, that Aft of Parliament was never
made to apply to a tingle cafe.
Lord Ksavoo afterwards tried a good many
eaufes, but they were chiefly undefended ; and
the& only worthy of being mentioned were

GIBBONS O. lIIMISON.

Mr. Ease ■a Ilated this aflion to be brought'againft
the Defendant for board and lodging furnithed to
-Mrs. Mafon, his wife. The Gentlemen of the Jury
knew, that if a man refilled to allow his wife to
live with him, he was obliged, bihette liw of Eng-
land, to rapport her elfcwhere. could be no

; duabt, therefore, as to the Defendant's liabilit• ,"
l,i. wire bad found an ary!,:ni under the ro•.f •
the Plaintiff The cafe Wit% as thong with 1.:•
Bard to the fads as to the law. It would ',spear
that Mrs. 'Nfafon, driven floor her hufbant s hoof(
in the moil barbarotis manner, had beets treated
by the Plaintiff with the greatest tendernefs and
attention. The Defendant had been a (errant to
his wife's father, and had found means to prevail
upon his mailer's daughter to marry him. After
, the indignation of the relations had lubfided, he was
taken in, neverthelefs,' inte.a (hare of the bufinefs.
This woman, however, who had facrificed to much
for him, received the molt ungrateful return. Her
ufagc was fo cruel that the was obliged to fly for
fafety, and to take lodgings in the town of Wind-
fcr. For Tome time the sr as allowed s as. a week.
but this Turn in fuch bad times being unable to
fupport her, the got confiderably in debt. She ex-
peded that her hutband would extricate her from
her difficulties, but inftead of that he reduced her
allowance to Bs. a week, and loon after cut it off
altogether. She now made overtures of reconcili-
ation, when the Defendant laid, that rather than
live under the fame roof with her for a tingle week,
he would fuller himfelf to be hanged on the high-
eft tree in Windfor Foreft. Mr. Erfkine faid, he
fhould be extremely lorry to fee any one of there
venerable oaks, which have fo long (haded our an-
ceflors, and been the companions of Kings from
the carnet ages, disfigured by the carcafe of this
unnatural hufband. Nor did he fee why Mr.
Mafon fhould think of giving himfelf the trouble
to mount an oak, when fo much more convenient
pieces of timber were provided for rnalefadors at
the public expence.
Mr. Ease: at was going to call witneffes to prove
his cafe, when it was propolcd by the other fide to
refer the whole to Mr. Lowton. This propofition
was readily agreed to, and Mr. L. is to take care
that Mrs. Mafon has ficurkr for the future, as well
as indaseaity for she pa).
