LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL '29.
Sittings in Banco.
vuoursox v. BEARCOFT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a clergyman,
against the defendant, whole a farmer at Homcastle, for illegally set-
ting out his tithes. The facts of the case were these :—The defendant
was in the habit of growing a large quantity of potatoes for the London
market,and when he commenced digging he laid out every tenth basket
as the clergyman's tithes. lf, however, the potatoes so set out
were not immediately taken away they were sorted, washed, and
sent to market. In consequence of this system the clergyman was
put to the expense of having persons to follow the diggers so as
to receive every tenth basket to prevent its being so taken. He
brought an action against the defendant for not setting out the
tithes according to law in sacks, but the Jury, under the impression
that baskets were better than sacks for potatoes (which was an erre-
necit.s opinion), found their verdict for the defenolant.
Mr. (*CANEY now moved for a rule to show cause why the ver-
dict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground
that such a mode of setting out the tithes was clearly illegal, there
having been a decision in the ecclesiastical courts against such a
method of setting forth tithes.
The Court granted a rule to show cause.
CLIFTON v. OODDARD.

In this case, which wu an action brought by the commissioners
fif taxes upon two bonds entered into by the defendant, as surety
for a tax.collector at Islington, who had become a defaulter, the At-
torney-General obtained a rule to show cause why a new trial should
not be granted without costs, on the ground of being taken by sur-
prise at the trial.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Aran. 21b
Sittings in Banco.
When the Lord Chief Justice entered the Court, he informed the
bar that four days would be only allowed for the motions for new

children by his illegitimate son, and left them a large propor-
don of the property which belonged to him, and was vested in the
British funds. The fourth codicil was written in English, and in the
hand.writing of the deceased. The validity of the codicil was disputed
on the ground that the deceased was domiciled in Portugal, that on
the general principle his property must be disposed of according to the
law of the country where the possessor was domiciled. Nn doubt
the length of time was an ingredient in the circumstances which went
to prove domicile; but it was not a conclusive circumstimee, for no
specific time was laid down which formed a domicile. The testator
in this case had endeavoured to acquire all the privileges which a new
corner could acquire in a foreign country ; but Vet the animus re-
rerlandi appeared to exist. The testator declared his intention
of returning to England. He sent his wife there when she he-
came insane ; and he finally ordered himself to be interred in
the English burying-ground at Madeira. It was obvious,
therefore, that the deceased did not abandon his connection
with his native land, nor relinquish his rights RA a British
subject. The only question then was, wheth:r the act of a British
subject domiciled in Portugal should not take effect bccr.ttne it was
executed according to the forms of English and not of Portuguese
law ? In the opinion of the court the intention, and net the form,
was the real consideration. That the intention of the deceased was
to dispose of his property in the British funds by this document
was perfectly clear, and the court should therefore act in contra.
vention of the principle of intention if it declared that the do.
cument in question was not valid because it was not in the Por-
tuguese form of law. The case was a new one, but it was most
important, at a period when so many natives of this country
resided in foreign countries, that the principle should be
thstinctly•settled. Nothing could be more alarming to those persons
and more injurious to their families than the principle that their
property in England was liable to be disposed of according to the
tuck a principle was not recognised by any of the
authorities, and this court would not now, for the first time, come
to a decision which would disqualify a British subject residing in
foreign countries, and deprive him of his testamentary privileges.
Under all the circumstances the court pronounced for the validity
of the will and of all the codicils, and directed probate to be granted
on them.
