COURT OF CHANCERY, DECEMBER 9.
EARL CARHAhlirfoN v, Mlsti LAWLEY.
The judicial proceedings of this day exhibited the
novel and interesting spectacle of a Peer of the
realm pleading his own cause. The Earl of Car-
hampton having seated himself among the Gentle-
men of the liar, was courteously told by the LORD
CHANCELLOR that he had a right to sit near him on
the Bencit. The Noble Earl declining the honour, ,
immediately addressed himself to his Lordship.—
He said it must appear presumptuous in him to come
to this Court fur the purpose of stating his own case.
He was awarethat if such a mode of application for
justice was to be often practised, the regular business
of the Court would be much interfered with, and
his Lordship much annoyed. The NrAde Lord en-
larged upon the incorrectness of the statement that
had been given of the case when last brought on,
entered into a very long history of the circumstancss
in which the affairs of the late Duchess trf. Cumber-
land stood at the time of her decease on toe Conti-
nent. She had left a will, disposing of her personal
property to persons who were strangers to her family,
without noticing that lie, Lard Cailiampton, was a
judgment creditor upon her estate for ne XlO,trOff.
Lie had, in order to obtain payment of his debt,
done that which he had an undoubted right to do ;
he had instituted a suit with a view to recover it. Ile
developed a variety of complicated proceedings daring
the course of his litigation with Ws Lawley. It 1,
impossible to speak in adequate teams tle,, wit and
keen irony o 1 his Lordship, in deseiihin.;; till pro
gross of a Chancery suit. He illustrated it se itir the
manner in which they hunted ha:cs in China ; lie
stated that they hunted that ficet aaimal in waggon.;
but though the chase was loti; they generAily came
lip with him at last. His Lin Js'iip, s ent•tvhat in-
aptly, considering he was complaining of an ::11..gA
mistatement injuricus to his feelings, described his
adversary's solicitors, who are persons of enl:l;c:,c,,
as men whose advice might be successfully resorted
to by any man who wished to defraud his treditois
of their debts—" I have heard (said his Lords' ip)
of a quack doctor who observed to his patient, take
my pill, and you are a f0.,1 if you die." So he
might, in like manner, observe of his opponent's so-
licitors, apply to them, and you need not pay your
debts.

Sir SAMUEL RoMILLY observed, that he supposed
the only object the Noble Lord had in view by the
present motion was to have an opportunity of making
A speech. Having fully avaaed himself of the op-
portunity, he (Sir Samuel) trusted, that the motion
of the Noble Lord would be dismissed, with coats,
to he paid to Miss Lawley, who had been put to the
expense of appearing to oppose his motion. The
Learned Counsel said it was extremely difficult for
him.. retnesuber what he had sail five or tie months
ago. The Learned Counsel then noticed a part of
the statement relative to the recovery of ..!;e diamond:
of the Duchess of Cumberland. :1:; to which the Re-
potter must have misunderstood him. lie then ad-
dressed himself to the met its of the ca!,e, and con-
cluded by calling upon hi: Lordship to eject the mo-
tion of the Noble Lord with costs.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would dispose of
this matter on Monday morning.
DLC.ENI ESP. 1 I.
The LORD CHANCELLOR acquainted the Court that
he had received a personal application from the Varl
of Carhampton, stating that he was obl;ged to leave
town, and could not return till Thurs.lay next. His
Lordship, therefore, should suspend his judgment in
the case before the Court tura Thursday, or such a
future day as might suit that Noble Earl to attend
in person. .
In the matter of Shepherd and Adlington, it was
ordered, on the motion of Sir A. Pluovr, that Mr.
Shepherd should deliver up all the papers a!!•.ett
which there was no dispute, and that the rest be re-
ferred to the Master.
In the matter of Wethetley and Shepherd. the
cause was ordered to stand over to the next Seal, for
the purpose of forniiiiug the patties ui:!1 any objec-
tions which might be found attached to the pro-
ceedings.
The Court was much crowded this morning in ex
pectation that the cause of DittuottroN v. Ile.sicielt,
•would have come on. Several elegant dressed Ladies
were present. No mention, however, was made of
the case.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 11.
HAYES V. cox.
This was an action brought by a Gentleman of
fortune, residing at Bromley, in Kent, to recover
from the defendant, who is a tradesman living in
Smith-street, Clerkenwell, the value of a horse which
was killed, in consequence of the defendant having
driven the shaft of bis gig into its side.
It appealed, from the testimony of Patrick Bren-
nan, who is gardener to the plaintiff, that on the day
of the accident he was sent to London to conduct the
horse in question home. to Bromley ; that having re-
ceived it from the livery stable-keeper, he was on his
return home about nine o'clock in the evening, and
had reached within 30. yards of the Canal bridge,
New-cross, on the Deptford read. being on his right
side, when the defendant drove furiously against the
anim if and unhorsed the witness, upon which wit-
ness seized the defendant's horse by the head, and
would not permit him to go on until he obtained Ins
address. The defendant then accompanied him to
a harness maker's shop on the road, and wrote down
his address as Mr. Green, of Devonshire-sine',
Queen-square. A gentleman who was resent and
had witnessed the whole transaction, conceiving this
to be a false address, advised the witness to follow
the gig into London for the purpose of s itisfyit:g his
doubts. This advice the man took, alter placing the
horse tinder proper care, and pursued the defendant
to town on foot. Instead of driving to Devonshire-.
street, Queen-squate, he drove to Sniith.street, Clerk.
enwell, where it ritually appeared be resided.
These facts being proved, a verdict w.r.; found for
the Plaintiff.—Damages, 40 guineas.
ADAMS V. COOKE.
This was an action for slander brought by the
plaintiff, a silversmith and liveryman of the city of
London, against the defendant, who was formerly a
traveller in bis employment. The plaintiff it appeared
was left guardian and trustee to a minor of tlle name
of Joseph Walton, whom he had apprenticed to a ca-
binet maker in the Haymarket. Some misunder-
tanding baying arisen between the plaintiff and the

defendant, thee parted, and tie lattal 11;.‘ing
the ward of Mr. Adams, he sp k the follov.inp
words, "Asa ifien(l, I woold adssisn you to get
your friends to take your m.0.4-y out ol Mr. A.d4ros.6
bands as soon as possible, or yJii will I, se it. I
shoald be ettremely sorry to biv• a ltionifri,l L. 0,1 4;
of my money in his band-, as I his ofl.4irs ate

Mr. JERVIS, the plaintiff's Cl said that t c t
worts were not of thclnY•Avcs ible, hot cue
