COVRT OF CHANCERY, MAY 11.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it was ne•
cessary that an alteration should be made in the set-
ting down of appeals for hearing. The present course
was to put twelve in the paper to be heard in rota-
tion ; the consequences were, that Solicitors charged
for attendance every day the appeal was in the paper,
and the Masters did not take the trouble of inquiring
whether the Solicitors were in attendance on the Court
or not, but allowed them their costs for such attend-
ancy as a matter of course. He would, for the future,
have only three appeals put in the paper for hearing
on the same day, which be trusted would obviate the
enormous expense that suitors were obliged to pay
for the attendance of Solicitors in Court, at the same
time they never came near it.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 11.
IN THE MATTER OF GRIFFITHS, ESQ. V. THE CORPO..

RATION OF BRISTOL.
This was an applicaLion on the part of Mr. Griffiths
to the Court, fOr a Mandamus to be directed to the
Corporation of Bristol, ordering them to restore him
to the situation of Steward of the Sheriff's Court at
Bristol, from which, he contended, they had impro-
perly and irregularly removed him. To the Manda-
mus the Corporation returned the,following facts
Mr. Griffiths, it appeared, was some years ago ap-
pointed to the office of Steward of the Sheriff's Court
at Biistol, an office of very considerable importance,
and to which many judicial duties attached. In 1814
Mr. Griffiths, in his character of Steward, felt it ne-
cessary to issue an order, founded on the charter of
the city, that Courts should be held every Monday,
alternately, for trying causes and grarting rules. In
1818, however, Mr. Griffiths was appointed one of'
the Magistrates of the Shadwell Police Office, and
had since been removed to the new establishment in
Mary-la-bonne ; and after this appointment took
place in 1818, Mr. Griffiths became negligent in his
attendance; and in 1819 the Corporation came to a
Resolution, in consequence of complaints of non-
attendance, which Resolution was communicated to
Mr. Griffiths. Still Mr. Griffiths did not attend; and
though between June and September, 1819, thirty-
seven Courts were held, Mr. Griffiths attended at only
five. Tile Corporation then adopted another Resolu-
tion, that if; in future, Mr. Griffiths neglected to at-
tend two successive Court days, be should be consi-
dered as liable to removal. Courts were held on the
Bth and 15th of NoveMber following, 'at neither of
which Mr. Griffiths attended; and he was also absent
at several subsequent Courts ; upon which the Corpo-
ration, pursuant to their Resolution, declared the office
of Steward vacant, and proceeded to a new election.
Mr. Griffiths, upon his removal, applied to the
Court for a Mandamus, ordering the Corporation to
restore him, on the ground of irregularity in his re-
moval; and now addressed the Court in support of
his application, alleging that he was not bound to
attend Courts held for granting Rules ; and that, a 1
though he had accepted the situation of a Police Ma-
gistrate in London, still it did not interfere with his
necessary attendance in the Sheriff's Court at Bristol,
to discharge his duty there.
The Court, however, wete decidedly of opinion the
two offices were incompatible. The office of Police
Magistrate required almost uninterrupted attendance
in the Metropolis ; and it was clearly his duty to at-
tend all the Sheriff's Courts as Steward, at Bristol;
and if the facts stated in this return were true, they
were sufficient to call for his removal. There had
been some irregularity in the course adopted by the
Corporation, but not such as would justify the Court
in interfering, especially as, if the facts stated were
not correct, Mr. Griffiths had his remedy in an action
against the Corporation for a false return.
The Mandamus was therefore discharged.
CONSISTORY COURT, MAY 10.
BLYTHE V. LODDEN, FALSELY CALLED BLYTHE.
This was a question in a case of nullity of mar-
riage, by means of minority and non-consent of pa-
rents, promoted by Thomas Blythe, Esq. of Gold-
smith-street, Fetter-lane, father and natural guardian
of A. F. Blythe, a mir.or, against Sarah Lodden.
Dr. LuSHINOTON took objections to the form of the
libel, which pleaded no entry of baptism, but ac-
counted for it in this way :—The minor was not bap-
tized, because the father and mother were Dissenters.
The only evidtnce, in lieu cf registry of baptism, was
a private entry made in a book, by J. G. Ryder,
of Paternoster-row, surgeon, of the date of his at-
tending Mrs. Blythe when she was delivered of a
Ile child. The fcmaie-party was a servant in the
-of thirty years. The family were
when the young man, then only
ited to elope with her, and they went
house of Thomas Harrison. It
the confession of Sarah Lodden to the
the object of their coming was a
marriage, and that she knew he was only
- of age. Mr. Harrison, who was a
fitness to the entry of marriage, asked
I get over the oath that he was of
.upwards?
support of the libel, pontended, that

this acknoitledgment was to 'hew that she knew she'
was contracting entli‘
The Court admitted thelibel, With the exception of
that article which•pleaded the ackwcnrledgment.—
This was directed to be reformed; *Mt that the book
pleaded to contain the entry of birth be produced.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.
. • •
HANK OP ZNOLANTis
Whitehall, Ilstasery Cbeetbets,isfay 8, 18814
The following are copies of all the Correepostdente
betweeit his Majesty's Government and the Governor
and Company of the Bank of England, on the subject
of the proposed renewal or extension of the Bank of
England Charter. S. R. LUSIIINGTON.
Fife House' April 4, 1822.
The Via, tort( of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the
Exchequet think it right to communicate to the Governor and
Deputy-Governor cf the Bank, that it is the determination of
Government to propose to Parliament, after the Buster recess,
to continue the Act of the .56th Geo. 111. c. 21, which suspends
the penalties upon the circulation of notes under five pounds
value, till the month of August, 1833..
They are also desirous, on this occasion, to offer to the Bank,
to propose to Parliament to continue to the Bank of England
their exclusive privileges to 1843, as far as respects the number
of partners to be concerned in any Bank within fifty mike of
London; provided the Bask of England will forthwith relin-
qada the same exclusive privilege; as to all parts of England not
within that distance.

Fife House, 26th April, 1822.
Gerreratax—ln consequence of the several conversations which
we have had with you on the subject of the proposition for some
relaxation in your exclusive privilege, as far as respects the num-
ber of partners who may be engaged in any flanking Establish-
ments in England, we request of you now to submit the follow-
ing proposals to your Court, as the result of the discussions
which have taken place between us :
That the Governor and Company of the Bank of England
should consent to a provision being inserted in as Act to be
pissed for that purpose, that from and after the passing of such
Act, It shall and may be lawful for any number of persons, in
England, acting in copartnership, and residing and carrying on
their business not less than sixty-five miles from London, to
borrow, owe, or take up any sum or sums of money, on security
of their bills, in notes payable on demand, at any place exceed-
ing the distance of sixty-five miles from London, all the indivi-
duals composing such copartnership being liable and responsible
for the due payment of such bills and notes, but that no other
power, privieges, or authority shall, previous to the first day of
August, 1844, nor until after repayment of the said Governor
and Company of all such sum or sums of money as are now, or
shall or may hereafter be due ,to them by Government, be
granted by any copartnership or society of persons whatsoever,
contrary to the laws now in force for establishing, regulating, or
continuing the Bank of England ; save and except the power to
persons In England acting in cOpartnerthip, and residing and
carrying on their business not less than sixty-five miles from
London, to sue and be sued, in the name of a public officer, if
Parliament should think fit to grant such authority.
That until the Ist of August, 1844, no copartnership or society
of persons exceeding six in number, or any body or bodies politic
or corporate, residing or having their establishment or house of
business within sixty-five miles of London, shall issue any bill
or bills and notes, contrary to the provisions of the 39th and
40th Geo. 111. c. 28.
' In the event of your Court being willing to agree to such re-
laxation of your present exclusive privileges, we shall be ready
to propose to Parliament, That the time for giving notice for
redeeming and terminating the exclusive privileges of the Bank,
shall be extended for ten years; such notice to be given at any
time after the hat of August, 1843, Instead of 1833, as provided
by the 39th and 40th Geo. 111. cap. 28 :
That the permanent debt of £14,686,800; due from Governs
met to the Bank, shall continue upon the same terms and con-
ditions, and at the same interest as at present, until redeemed :
That during such extension of the Charter of the Bank, all
sums of money which now are and shall become payable for any
part of the public Revenue in Eastland, shall be received and
accepted by the Collectors, Receivers, and other Officers of the
Revenue in England, authorised to receive the same, in the notes
of the Bank of England, payable to the bearer on demand, or in
current coin of the realm :
That nothing in this arrangement shall In any degree affect or
vary the rights, privileges, emoluments, or advantages, to which
the Bank is now entitled, under any Act or Acts of Parliament
or under or in pursuance of any employment by or on behalf ot
the Public, except as is hereby expressly stipulated and provided.
We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your very obedient
humble servants, LIVERPOOL.
To the Governor and Deputy-Governor N. VA NSITTART.
of the Bank of England.
Bank, April 27, 1822.
The Governor and Deputy-Governor communicated verbally,
on the same day, that after a full consideration, the Court of
Directors had resolved to accede to the proposition, in case it
should meet with the approbation of the Court of Proprietors.
Bank, May 2, 1822.
A Court of Proprietors was held this day, when they autho-
rised the Governor and Deputy-Governor to proceed in the nego-
elation, and to take measures to carry the same into effect.


THE LATE PRIMATE OF IRELAND.
The following is an authentic statement of the ca.
lamitous death of the above worthy Pt elate:
His Grace having taken some calomel on Monday, Wittehvgat
Inoperative, and occasioned much pain, a bleta, Or MOM 41rilight
was prescribed for the purpose of giving immediate relief. The
prescriptien was sent to be prepared without delay, and as iNe,
as ft could be ma& up, it was brought to Om hue*, and a NA
do ued was delivered•into the bed-room. As no other than*
was in thought. - r expectation, and as a blackens* was to ha
immediately taken, the draught, delivered as that permitted,
was immediately administered. It 'teas scarcely swallowed.
when it appeared that two phials had 'been delivered inssrthe
house from the apothecary's at the same moment, 'tie one the
prescribed medicine, the other a private order of a servant, to
be used in an injection. The servant who received them at tint
door gave the medicine designed for the Primate to Ms Mimi;
servant, and hastened eagerly up stairs with the other,o phial
laudanum; omitting in his hurry to`notice the fact of twe.phial
having been received.

MURDER OP A CHILD BY ITS OWN NTOTHER!i-Z
Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, A
most horrid murder was rerpetratcti otr the body
a flue female infant, named Sarah Nlountford, agea
eight months and a fortnight, by her own mother,
Mrs. Ann Mountford, at No. 1, Virginia-
KW, actli
nal-Green, who cut off the child's head with a rlzor.
The father of the child is by trade a weaver, and was
highly respected in the neighbourhood where be
lived. He bad resided in the house where the in.
human act was committed, for twelve years. Ile has
been married between sixteen and seventeen 'years,
and has a family of ten children; the eldest is a girt
about fifteen years old, and the youngest was the ill.
fortunate victim, who wals at the breast, and always
appeared to be its mother'sfavourite. The mother
apreared cool and collected afterwards, but from her
conduct, there is every reason to suppose that she had
been seized with insanity. She was taken into an-
ti:oy, and a Coroner's Inquest will be held on the body
of the child.
