• LAW INIELLIGENCE
.COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER fn.
LAING% DELANIORE, GENT.
Mr. SCARLETT %hewed cause against a rule obtained
by Mr. Brougham yesterday, for postponing the execu-
tion of a writ of inquiry before the Sheriff in this cause,
of which notice had been given for to-morrow. It was
an action, by the Captain of an American vessel, against
the defendant, an attorney, for criminal conversation
with the plaintiff's wife. The defendant had .suffered
judgment by default, and had gone to France, leaving
his affairs under the milmagement of his father. This
application for delay was made on the affidavit of the
father, stating that his son was confined with illness at
Paris ; that having gone to France to seek him, he
crossed him on the road, and that he had since been
unable to obtain an answer to his letter, though he had
written to give him eiotice of the proceedings. The
father also stated, that he believed, if timr were granted,
he should be able to adduce evidence which would ma-
teiially tend to reduce the damages. The Learned
Counsel contended against the indulgence prayed, on
the ground that the judgment was regular; that an
attorney could not be ignorant of the liabilities lie had
incurred ; and that, in fact, the defendant, when the
illicit intercourse was discovered, said ,4 lie should be
ready to answer for his conduct when regularly called
on." At this time the defendant was living in France
wi:h the plaintiff's wife, who had eloped with him, and
it was believed that he was drawing his property from
England, in order to deprive the plaintiff of the fruits
of his judgment when he should obtain it. For these
reasons the Learned Counsel opposed a delay, for.which
no adequate cause had been shewn—to which the de-
fendant, as an attorney, must know that he, %ea; not
, entitled, and which might entirely deprive the plaintiff
of his remedy.
Mr. F. Pot.Loca, on the same side, expressed his hive
that the indulgence asked would not be granted, with-
out exacting security for the damages and costs.
Mr. BuOuGHAM urged the hard situation of the de-
fendant, who, by an accidental absence, might be en-
tirely precluded from availing himself of those grounds
of defence which it was sworn that he possessed. Al-
though_ he might be lioble to an action, yet every one
knew, that in cases of this kind, itwas often long doubt-
ful whether • proceedings -would be adopted. So far
from wishing for delay merely to postpone execution,
,he was willing to give judgment of the present instead
of Hilary Term, in case the judgment which he prayed
for should be granted. .
• •
...The COURT ranted the defendant six weekaieforel
the execution of the writ of inquiry, on his father par;
ing the costs of the delay and application, and on ebndiv
ion that judgment would be given of the present Term.

Mr. COOPER moved for a mandamus addressed to the
Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, requiring him to
hear the complaint of a prisoner in his custody, named
Forrester, against another prisoner named Bridgman.
Mr. Forrester had been a prisoner some years, and in
April, 1821, had occasion to employ an attorney. Mr.
Bridgman was then introduced to him as a solicitor and;
partner of Mr. Gellibrand, of Austin-friars, who w4s,
known to be an attorney of the Court. Under this cha-
racter he obtained from Mr. Forrester
.4 £lO country
bank note, for which he was to obtain change, return
part to his client, and employ. part in carrying on the,
suit. Having obtained the note, he set off and was never
heard of "by klr, Forrester till he was himself brought
to the same prison for debt, and was recognised by his
dupe, and discovered to be no attorney. Mr. Forrester
now applied to the Marshal to hear his complaint, but
he refused to pay attention to his•story.
The COURT asked what character the Learned Court
', sel supposed the offence to bear ?
M r. COOPER replied, he thosisbt it amounted to felony;
and considered it within the principle of the well-known
case of Major Semple.
Mr. Justice BEST observed, that it was no felony, be-
'cause Mr. Forrester, when he parted with his note, did
Ilot expect to receive it again in that form.
1.. Mr. COOPER submitted that it was at all events- a
misdemeanour, as Bridgman's:Attained the note uncle,
the false pretence that he was an attorney, and able to
render Mr. Forrester professional assistance.
The Count at first thought that the transaction took
place before the passing of the Act by Which obt • •

same footing. with obtaining money ; but, finding MI
enquiry that it occurred after the passing of that statute,
they granted a rule to stew cause why the neandassas
should not issue.

Dr. Losatzorox said this was an action of divorce
brought by the wife against the husband, by reason el
cruelty and adultery; the husband bad not appeared is
the regular manner, but had suffered the case to lie over
from time to time; but the libel was now brought
and he prayed it might be admitted.
The libel stated that in March, April, and May,lB2l,
the wife was grossly ill-treated by her husband ; they
then lived at the Constitution-public-house, Great James-
street, Lisson-grove, her husband being the landlord;
but through ill-treatment she left the house. Soon after
the marriage he used to beat her, and use very disgust-
ing language towards her. When she left the house she
went to her brothers; but at the solicitation of her Imp
band she returned home again on his promise of amend-
went, but his former violent disposition was soon re-
newed ' • and on one occasion he threatened to stab her
with a knife, but his intention Was prciented by prisons
`coming to her assistance: He afterwards knocked her
jowa in the bar.; and on another occasion dragged her
140 the kitchep, aud.scriick her so violently as to break
several of hut ribs, and the has not since been restored
tobeiltb.: The adultery consisted in 'his connections
With several'-females, by which he had' contracted a
loathsome disease. She, in consequence, piaj:cd for the
divorce, on the nirges of cruelty and adultery.
Sir CHRISTOPHiIt ROBINSON ordered the libel to be
admitted.
t. • . AULus O. 'taus.
Dr.LusttiNGTON said this was a cause of divorce on
the plea of cruelty and adultery. - • . • ,
Dr..lassz ADAMS opposed the application, And read,
certain Outs of the libel, in which it *as stated that the
parties had lived separate three years, and had coha-
bited together previous to that time only thirteen months.
He (Dr. Adams) could not see what protection the wife
amid expect to have, as she had already the•protection
of the law, having exhibited articles of the peace against
her husband; who was bound in recognizances of 2001.
She pleaded that her husband had often threatened to'
beat.bei, to run her throigh with a red-hot poker,' to,
stab her, &e. but these were only threats and Menaces?
and not one act of personal violence proved. It was,
Weed, in evidence tbat a nurse had come in- on one
,clecasiOn while she was on her knees imploring her'huti-
band to save her life, bUt on, her interference he di-
sfsted, and_ no violence was done. He (Dr. Adams)
knew that in some instances it was not necessary to
prove -Aetna violence before the party can come into
this Court, but these threats are stated to have occurred
frequently, and .yet no personal violence was committed.
The case that approached neare-t to the present was
Otway v. Otway, where Mrs. Otway swore to repeated
threats, where her husband' had held a pistol to her
bead and would have shist her, but for the interference
of the servants; but there it was also stated he spat in
her face, 'bushed the candle into her face, and on one
occasion seized tree viofristly by her arms in the garden,
until she eras' *eitricatOrlby the gardener, who heard her
screams for assistance;' and jet •in that case the prayer
was not granted: Tbiesiiai ail° a difference of rank be-4

band was postesied of property to the amotint of 50001. a

Stepney. 'As to the charge of adultery, it was made in
general terms, that he did, soon afters the separation,
and does 'still,..eohabit with one Mar?: Hughes, who
passes fur his wife rand he (Dr. Adams) contended thaw'
the charge ought not to be made general, bat ought to
be particularized.
Dr. LaWsitimorou wits heard at some length hi reply,
He contended, that thecharge of cruelty was sustained,'
although no violence was proved, and that it was nut
necessary to wait until she had been's:Willy beiten or
killed before she complained. Neither, was it necessary
to prove uny individual act of adultery, .because it was
stated that. Mr. Hulme has all along =tobisbiied with

—.I,AL MEMOIR OF LORD
-
In Tilt SrAR of yesterday we announced the death
of this much-respected Nobleman. His Lordship was
the youngest of three sons. The eldest, the Earl of
BUCHAN. is still living; and the second son, the Hon.
HENRY ERSICINS, long the ornament of the Scottish Bar
and of Scottish society, died a few years ago.
Teoscits Lord ERSKINE was born in the year 1741 s
and previous to his adopting the profession in which he
was long so distinguished, he served a short time at sea,
under Sir Jou sriLleosav, in the capacity of Lieutenant ;
on quitting the Navy he entered into the Attny, as an
F,nsign in the Royals, 'or Fir,t Regime* of Foot, and
served six years. in that Regiment, tWe of which he
passed in Minolta.
Mr. Eesetue was about twenty-six when he com-
menced his course of legal study. He entered as a
Fellow-Commoner of Trinity ColTle, Cambridge, in
the year 1777 ; and, at the same time. inserted his
name as a student on the books of Lincolt4 Inn. One
LP his College declamatioaa is still extant, as it was deli-
vered in Trinity College Chapel: TM thileis, was the
Revolution of 1688- • It gaineda_.,l4 044.1)tiles`vbIch he
'closed to accept, not atlenefing CambridgeMit Student,
and only declaiming in confoiniity to the riles of the
College.
An ode written by Mr. Elm:se about this time. is
imitation of Gray's Bard, is worthy of notice as a.
sportive production of his fancy : it was published irs.
The (Mighty Maff
''nzime. In originated in am occasion'
truly humorous. The author had been disappointed by
his barber, who neglected his usual attendance upota
him, and. prevented him from dining in the College hall..
In the moment of disappointment, hunger, and im-
patience, he is supposed to have poured forth a male-
diction against the whole race of hair-dressers, with a.
denunciatien prophetic of a future taste foe cropping;
and unpowdered hair. ,
Mr. ERSKINE did not enter the University for any
academical purpose, but merely to obtain a degree, to+
which he was entitled as the son of a Nobleman, and by
which he saved two years in his passage to the Bar..
his education had been previously completed in Scat.
land.
,In: order to acquire a necessary idea of the
technical parts of his future profession, he waspersuaded,
by the judicious counsels of his friends, to enter as a
pupil into the office of Judge BULLER, then an eminent
special pleader at the Bar.
Lord Enmities advancement was singutarly rapid.
His first brief was in defence of Captain Hamm, for a
libel on the Governors of Greenwich Hospital, and he
displayed so much eloquence, boldness, and ingenuity,
as stamped him at once the most able and eloquent of
advocates. This character was afterwards confirmed by
his subsequent defence of Admiral KIPPEL and Lord
GEORGE GORDON.
There was; perhaps, no department of his profession
in which our Advocate reached higher excellence than
in his observation on evidence. The defente of Lord
Gkoaras GORDON required the exercise of these powers
to their amplest extent.; as the case on the part of
the Crown was
.supported by a 'variety of witnesses.--
• [`hey who study this speech will observe,"with emotions
of admiration, the Subtleties with which he abates the
force of the testimony he is encountering, and the artful
eloquence with which he exposes its defects, and its con-
tradictions. I say, by Gon, that man is a ruffian, who,
on such evidence as this, seeks to establish a conclusion
of guilt!' was his exclamation, as he was finishing this
topic of his defence, Of this speech, the concluding
sentence is truly pathetic. We scarcely hesitate to pro-
nounce it to be the best effort of Mr. ERSKINE'S talents ;
it doe; not, indeed, display the minute beauties or culti-
vated diction, 'nor those grave remarks of moral
wis-
dom with which his later speeches, in imitation of Mr. -
Buses, are pregnant:- but, considered in reference to
'the occasion on which it was delivered, it is a most asto-
nishing effort of vigorous and polished intellect.
In the month of May, 1783, Mr. ERSKINE received
the honour of a silk gown; his Majesty': letters of pre-
cadency being conferred upon him, as had been said, on
the suggestion of the venerable Lord MANSFIELD.. His
professional labours were now considerably augmented,
and he succeeded to that place which had se long been
occupied by Mr. Duwsiso, afterwards Lord Assume-
TON. Ito the defence of STOCKDALI for libel, the Dean
of Sr. ASArn. and Hoawa TOOKE, and the other indi-
viduals charged with high treason,. in 1794, Mr. ER..
SKIVE was engaged; and on all these occasions he.dis-
flayed the most acute penetration and the most impas-
sioned eloquence.
In 1783, Mr. ERSKINE was elected one of the Mem-
bers for Portsmouth, and continued an active Member
of the House of Commons. until his elevation to the
Peerage, in 1806. when he was also raised to the high
and important office of Lord Chancellor, which be-re-
tained during the Whig Administration. - ;
.In all the leading discussions in the House of Peers,
Lord Emmet took a share; and though a 'Manch
Whig, he may be considered as more of a patriot than
:a party man.
Of Lord ERSKINE, as a forensic orator, it is impos-
sible to speak too highly: Perhaps be was ehe most
powerful Advocate the Oar of England ever possessed.
Foreigners were particularly struck with the elegance
of his manner, which was aided by a noble and com-
manding figure, and by a voice so flexible, that it lent
itself to every shade of feeling. 'We remember a dis-
tinguished foreigner, the Chancellor of a Continental
University, remarking that Easier ifs was the only speaker
he heard in England, who struck him' es possessing

LOED CEIARLES SPENCER CHURCHILL., AND SUED AS
LORD MARLED SPENCER CHURCHILL.
Mr. Potieotrt rose as Counsel in the above matter,
and observed that he, had an applicatiot to make rela-
tive to the etitioher,. who was opposed by a variety of
creditors (whose names the Court would take down); by.
his Learned Friend (Mr. Cooke). Those creditors prin-
cipally •resided at anti near St. Albaa's, and owing to
the cireninstances under which) the debts were etm-
traceed,vOnsiderable difficulty had arisen not only as to
amottritsi bat ralso as to the actual. persons claiming
to be creditors. His application, therefore, was that the
Conic irtiold grant au extension.: of time, and issue a
new order for hearing, on payment of costs of the day.
-.Mr.eboxs did not oppose the' application, and the
Caort'aceeded•to the prayer of the Learned Applicant.

George beaae was opposed by Mr. PoLLOCK on be-
half of several
,cceditors. The insolvent hid been hewn,
the Conn on a former day, when his case was referred
to the provisioual assignee of the Court, whose report
was now read, and stated thit the insolvent had been
examined, and had stated that he had been robbed in
his house at Ctockleigh, iii Wiltshire, on the night df
the 6th of June last, of £lB5 in country bank-noteb
and other propeLty, to the amount of £230; and that
he had received the bank-notes for cattle he had sold
two days before, but could not name any of the persons
by whomtliey had been purchased. The report also
stated. that oix of the insolvent's creditors had ma*,
an affidavit containing facts, which, added to the mar*
inconsistencies in the insolvents answers, made it highly
improbable that he had lost the money f which he said
he was robbed.

'rite insolvent prayed the Cour; for time to answer
the affidavit that I?ad been made bijiio creditor.
The Coon/. said, ample time. for that purpose had
been already given h;nr, and he had made no use of it;
further time should be allowed him, on his undertaking
to pay the costs of the day.
The insolvent declared he was unable to pay costs.

The COURT said, if he did not consent to pay the
costs, the case must either go on, or the order for beat-
nip must be dismissed. .
The insolvent preferred the latter alternative, ana
order for hearing was in conseghence dismissed.
Aifred Whoralsvi was opposed by Mr. HEATU for a
creditor Waned Day, a saddler, at Hampstead.
• The insolvent stated that he was of age in June, 1821,
when he became entitled to £1,500 three per cent stock,
which he whit in the August following for £14132 of
which he gave his father, who is a butcher at Hamp-
stead, £5OO, in gratitude for his having given him a very
gond education. The insolvent adniitted he could nei-
ther tent-nor write, but said it was owing to the weak-
ness of his eyes, and not want of care in his father. On
receiving his money in August, 1821, he commenced
cattle dealer, and being very unsuccessful, lost all his
money ; and.the last of his cattle was sold under dis-
tma about three Months agn.
Mr. Diabilre opposing creditor, stated that the insol-:
venrinurrowed a saddle and bridle from him, after he
had refused to give him any further credit, and never
returned it.
The Mar said, the insolvesi bed arid* obtaleed
the africles from Mr. Liay in a frandttlent manner, and
tensanded him fors months from the date of-his petkiin.
Ed'ivaril Probed was opposed by Mr. COMM, in be-
half of twd Creditors, named Nicholls and-Randal.
The instiltrent was a butcher and cow-keeper in Cold
Bath-square, fOr tt4ty years, and in June, 1820, gave
his brother-in-law a Wa:tant of attoiney for £5OO, which,
he then .lent the insolvent, to assist hint in his business.
The insolvdot since paid his brother-in-law £lOO, and
being arrested three lanes in August last, the warrant
of attorney Was put in force, and all the insolvent's pro-
perty sold under it ,for about £2OO.
The in srsl vent's ()posing creditors bath deposed that
they would not have given him credit, bad they knoirra

these circumstances, combined with her having accepted
the bill, and the plaintiff's affidavit also that he did mit,
know her to be a married woman, would negative the.
grant of the rule. The defendant talked of her debt
.and her bill, and that if she was confined it would only
place her in a situation where she would be void of the
means of ever paying.
The Learned JUDGi said a woman might talk of her
debt, Or her art of any sort, and still be afemme covert,
who claimed protection &Om the law.
Mr.. Timmins replied, although his Learned
Friend had brought forward those records, he had taken
the marginal notes and not looked into the body of the
case; and even in the plaintiff's own affidavit he did
not attempt to deny what was put at issue on a former
occasion, that at the time of this bill transaction he
asked the defendant whether Mr. Nutt was not in a good
situation? which clearly demonstrated he knew of hes-
husband, and even in his affidavit he altogether evaded
this circumstance, although the defendant answered, Mr.
Nutt was not.
The Learned JUDGE was of opinion the prisoner was
entitled to her discharge.—kule absolute, with costs.

his demand was IL 4s. sd. for wages, etc. lje stated that
he had been hired by the defendant at Ss. a week and his

witness by the nose saying " Charley, why you are asleep. He
immediately sprung his rattle, and • had Mr. Strome taken to the

a very ungracious way to wake him, even supposing him to have
been asleep (which did not appear to be the fact). He would for
