BOXERS.-NF.ATE AND SPRING.

This was the principal topic yesterday at TATTERSALL s, and
in other sporting circles ; and this forfeit has given rise to doubts
whether the battle between Randall and Martin will take place,
although all the stakes are deposited in Mr. Jackson's hands,
which were nearly forfeited by Martin's backer sending a check
instead of money, which was cashed just in time. This check
remains as it did, leaving Martin to stand ,e2OO of the battle-
money himself, and he says he will not fight. At a meeting at
Mr. Thirtle's, in the Ilaymarket yesterday, Spring attended,
and declared he would fight Neate at the time which had been
axed, frorti a glass tf gin to X. 200 of his own money. Numerous
amateurs would have backed Spring if the affair had been sooner
known. It is likely that Neate will accept Spring's challenge :
in that case it will be a new match, and puts aside all former
betting.
TURNER AND CY. DAVIS.

The former game hero, contrary to expectation, intends to
have another shy in the Prize-ring. It was thought by the
judges that dissipation had told him out. Turner, however, has
materially improved in health ; and be confidently asserts that
the effects of a few weeks training will not only renovate his
frame, but he shall be in first-rate condition by the appointed
time. Davis, in the most friendly and manly manner, offered
Turner his own time ; and, on making the following match,
they shook hands with each other more after the manner of in-
separable friends than old opponents.

COURT OP•CITA,kERY—TILIS bAt
Ltrs AINOvOnTIi. . .
This morning
.31r. liv.ALb, on the part of Mr:
Ainsworth, a young man who had married a young
•
woman, who was a ward of the Court, stated, that he
now understood the father of the yoiin man had
forty thousand pounds; that the son was readj, and
wall to make a settlement, bit; he did not state that
he had any cornrow (lie:- any property, he depended
on what his father should site. He did not utider
stand, Mr. Heald said, that his 'client had aiiiialry
been Oft)* of a contempt of the Court, for the young
L idy was not a Wald of th.f Court at the time the
marriage took effe: t, but he admitted he was in,
formed that she was about to become a ward of
the Court.
Tile LOUD CHANCIMLOIL—It was clearly proved
to me it was a contempt; and Mr: Wakefield stated
to me that the young man had an expectation troth
his father, but no property of his own. And now
your client.instructs you to appear, and the substanee
of the cat•e is neither more nor less than this—that
your client, hearing that this girl is about to become
a ward of Court, runs away with her to Scotland,
and marries her ; and then he comes here and telli
me that he has not a shilling to settle upon her ;=
that, indeed, hi. father is worth forty thdusand
pounds ; but what does that signify, when it turns
out that he has no property of his own, nor au-
thority from his father, to state any settlement. which
he may make on this young woman.
Mr. fi EA Ln said, he could state no more than had
' been cotnmunitated to him.

The LORD CHANCELLOR,—."I took it for granted
that he had no property to settle, and so it turns out
to be."

Mr. WAKEFIELD said, that all the circumstances
of the case did not yet appear before his Lordship;
for that the party now complaining had consented to
the publication of banns for this marriage, and a set-, •
tlement was proposed to be made on the marriage of
this young couple, but instead of forwarding the
terms of this settlement, they filed the present bill
against this young man.
The LOUD Cri A Ncr.r.r.oe, after hearing many ob-
servations on both sides, consented that this matter
would stand over for a week, in order to see whether
the matter might be in some measure arranged ; but,
at all events, he should take care that this young
woman's property, which was £BOO a year in land,
should never be taken from her, and that a proper
settlement sliculd be made upon her, for that he was
bound to take effectual cave of.

The matter then stood over accordingly.
LORD PoRTSNIOLITif.

It was stated at the Bar that the Medical Gentle-
men whom his Lordship had allowed to visit the
Earl of Portsmouth, could not be expected to go
down into the country without fees, and there were,
'at present, no funds out of which that expense could
be defrayed ; and it was therefore hoped his Lordship
would sanction the payment of these reqaisite sums
out of the property of the Noble Lord.
His Lordship said, that in the present stage of the
proceeding he had no power whatever over any part
of the property of Lord Portsmouth: whether, undet
any arrangement to be made by the parties on both
sides, the Noble Earl might be removed to town to
be placed under proper care and to have proper
treatment so as to diminish the expense now alluded
to, was for them to consider.
Mr. SKTRItow, a Gentleman at the Bar, whom we
understcod to be one of the Trustees, justified his
own conduct on this occasion ; adverted to certain
notices which had been given to the Bankers, Drum-
monds, as well as Trustees, of Lord Portsmouth, not
to part from any property of that Noble Lord with-
out order of the Court. After which Lady Ports-
in wilt applied for £300: the Bankers declined pay
i,ig it. Mr. Skirrow, on his own responsibility, con-
sented to her having, and she accordingly had, £2COI
She had received in dune last £lOOO besides. He
wished his Lordship to know these facts.
Mr. litt.iNco said, that Lady Portsmouth would
readily assent to the payment of the fees of the Phy-
sicians, had she funds for that purpose; but she really
had not.

The LORD CITANCELLOR.---" The truth is, that I
have nothing to do with any part of the property of
Lord Portsmouth, in the present stage of this pro-
ceeding. It my Lord Pot tsmouth is sane, as Lady
Portsmouth maintains that he is, and she feels that
he does not allow to her what she is entitled to have,
as his wife, the course for her to adopt is to sue her
husband tor alimony ; but I cannot make any order
for that, or any such purpose, upon a question, which
is the only one now before me, whether a Com-
mission de lunatico inquirendo shall or not issue
against Lord Portsmouth ?"
. It was then proposed that this matter should fur-
ther stand over for a few days beyond Tuesday, the
day at present appointed for the final discussion of it.
His Lordship said there were two points for him to
attend to, beyond any other: first, that the Court
should have all the information which it was practip
cable to obtain; secondly, that it should then come,
with as little delay as possible, to a tight conclusion
on it; for he was under the necessity of devoting a
large portion daily of his attention to this matter, to
keep his mind alive to all the important facts of it ;
nor did he ever know a case in which he was com-
pelled to the so much care and caution in what he
did, as this had required. It must be understood,
for the present at least, that the matter should come
on peremptorily on Tuesday next.

Assault and robbery have of late become so fre-
quent in Dundee, that numbers of the citizens now
carry loaded pistols for their defence at night.

CORN EXCHANGE, 111 ARK-LANE, NOV. 15.
The supplies of nearly all kinds of Grain this morning are very
large. Fine Wheat sells on nearly the same terms as on Mon-
day, hut other qualities are cheaper. Barley for malting fully
maintains our last quotations. Beans and Peas both sell heavily
at Alonday's prices. The invmeisse quantity of Oats at marktt
has so stagnated the trade for this ahacle, that even at a reduc-
tion of is. per quarter, it is very difficult to make sales.

LAW IM'ELLIG,ENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 14.
STA I N NIOO R RECTORY.
MUTTER V. CIIEAUVELL AND OTHERS.
This case came on again in the shape of a motion
for leave to amend the bill. It was partly heard on
the day before Term, and the argument was thii day
resumed. The original question was the right to the,
living of Stainmoor. The defendant has been in pos-
session since 1811 ;. but the plaintiff claimed the
right of presentation to the living, and of occupying
it himself as presentee. The bill was -filed in 1818,;
and after much Chancery litigation and the death of
many of the parties, a motion came to be made in,
11322 for leave to amend the bill.
Messrs. HART, SUGDEN, and DUCKWORTH, sup-,
ported the motion. The grounds, from the technical
form in which the question was brought forward,
vemed to be that both parties had assumed the
living to be a donative, while in fact it was a perpe-
t lal curacy : and that the defendant, Mr. Cheauvell,
e)tained and held possession by means of ft aud.
Mr. HORN E declined to reply to the arguments on
the other side, as the practice of the Court precluded;
the prayer of the motion. The fact was, that the
motion was made, not for any object in,that Court,
but to usher into the world'a publication on the subject.
Mr. Haat replied, and was proceeding to answer
a question by the Court, as to the specific amend-
ments proposed to be made, but
Mr. HonNE contended that he must have leave to
address his Lordship upon that subject, if the prac-
tice of the Court suffered it to be introduced.
Mr. HARt finished his reply.
The LORD CRANCELLOR, after giving a general
history of the cause, said he could not give leave to
amend the bill, without having in writing the amend-
ments proposed to be made.
Mr. llonNE suggested, that a notice, ton, must be
served upon them (the defendants) as of a new ma
tion, at the same time with the amendments to be
made..—This was ordered, and the next motion day,
this day se'nnight, was fixed for the motion.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 14.
GORTON V. SMART.
This was a bill filed for the purpose of obtaining
the specific performance of an agreement.
Mr. Howie, for the plaintiff, stated the facts of the
case. He stated that the defendant had let a portion
of land to his client upon a building lease. In the
agreement which was entered into by the parties, it
was stipulated that the houses in hich were to be built
upon the ground should not be under third or fourth
rate houses. The, plaintiff had built several dwelling-
houses on the land, and also a brewhouse; this was
the subject of litigation between the parties. The
defendant refused to grant a lease for this brewhouse,
on the ground that the terms of the agreement did
not authorize the building of any but dwelling-houses,
and he threatened to proceed against the plaintiff by
ejectment. The Learned Counsel contended that the
terms of the agreement did not prohibit the plaintiff
from erecting buildings cf any description upon the
ground, and he therefore prayed that the Court would
decree the specific performance of the agreement, and
enjoin the defendant from proceeding by ejectment.
Mr. SUGDEN, on the part of the defendant, main-
tained that the plaintiff had acted in contravention of
equity by building the brewhouse, which was a nui-
sance to the sun minding neighbourhood, inasmuch
ai it did not consume its own smoke.
Mr. HEALD, who was also Counsel for the plaintiff,
said the Court might be led to imagine, from what
Mr. Sugden said, that the atmosphere in the neigh-
bourhood of this brewhouse was particularly pure,
that it rivalled in salubrity Kensington-gardens ; but
the fact was, that its immediate vicinity abounded in
manufactures of all descriptions ; there were saw-
mills, iron-manufactories, seven steam-engines, and
two brewhouses.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the
agreement ?id not preclude the plaintiff from erect-
ing any description of buildings : it merely provided
that the dwelling-houses which should be built should
be of a certain rate. The plaintiff was therefore en-
titled to the specific perforrnante of the agreement.
If the defendant considered the brewhouse a nuisance,
he could seek his remedy at law.
COURT OF KING'S BF.NCEI, NOVEMBER 14.
THE KING V. AtIBEOSZ CULLRN.
ME SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for the judgment
of the Court on the defendant, who had been found
guilty in Kent, of assaulting an Officer of the Cus-
toms in the execution of his duty.
The Cower sentenced him to pay a fine of 301. and
give security for his good behaviour for three years,
himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each.
TIIE KING I'. VINE.
This was a case of a similar description to the last.
The defendant urged that his affidavit was lost, but
that its material statement was, that he had a wife,
nine children, and an aged mother dependent on
him for support.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on hearing this, said
that he would refrain from praying any judgment on
the defendant, whose recognizances were accordingly
taken, to appear and receive judgment if called on;
and who was dismissed with an admonition from the
Court, that the lenity shewn him by the Crown
should dispose him to refrain from all illegal deal-
ings in future.
THE KING V. HENDERSON AND ANOTHER.
Mr. RUSSELL moved for a Rule, calling on Joseph
Henderson and another person, a Clergyman and
Magistrate of the county of Carmarthen (whose name
at present he would forbear to mention), to shew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against them. He made this application on behalf
of Mr. Saunders, a Gentleman of property, a Ma-
giqrate and Commissioner of Roads in the county of
Carmarthen, whom the defendants had attempted to
incite to fight a duel with Henderson. On the 15th
of October last, Mr. Saunders went to a public meet-'
ing in ins official capacity, and, on entering, was ad-
dressed by Henderson in very opprobrious terms, in
relation to his public situation as trustee. After this,
Henderson left the room, and defied Saunders to fol-
low him and give him satisfaction; when the Cler-
gyman told Henderson not to disgrace himself by
imself oa a level with Saunders, but to treat
did. Saunders demanded if this meant to
im? when the Clergyman added other in-
iguage, intended, as the applicant believed,
him to fight. Under these circumstances;

Mr. Saunders clainaza the protection of the Court,
which had often been granted on similar occasions,
and was peculiarly due to a man of high rank and
of
great public spirit, who had been insulted in the dis-
, charge of important duties. If the Court would
grant the Rule, it would probably be the means of.
producing a proper acknowledgment of the offence,
and an assurance that Mr. Saunders should not be
subjected to such conduct in future.
_ The Cower granted a Rule to shew cause.

Tin WO V. JAWS*.
The COURT this day tesumed the consideration of
the cake of this defendant, who was brought before
them for practising at Leeds as an attorney, in the name
of a person named Thackeray, who has been struck
offethe roll for his share in the offence. Mr. Jaques
now urged that he ought to have been tried by vivo,
voce testimony, and not on affidavit, and that the
appearances against him were fairly to be attributed
to the embarrassed circumstances of Thackeray, whose
clerk he really was, and whom therefore he assisted
by the advance of monies. He also put in an affida-
vit, stating that lie had a wife and five children de-
pendent on him for support, and had already suffered
great exrense by the proceedinp against him.
The COURT said that, by their invariable rule, all
cases were brought before them on affidavit—a prat-.
lice favoqrable to the party accused, who was thus
enabled to give to his defence the sanction of an oath,
and necessary when referred to the extent of their ju-i
risdiction throUghout England. A comparison of
the affidavit and of the book to which it referred,
had satisfied them of the truth of the charge, for
which, taking all the circumstances into considera-
tion, they sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned
in the prison of the Court for six calendar months.
