EZ•PARTE CORBETT, IN RE SIR O. P. TURNER.

Mr. SHADY/ELI. was heard in reply to the petition of
Mr. Corbet., which he resisted upon the same grounds
as when Cie application was first made—namely. that
Mr. Corbe:t eras connected with certain individuals,
who were dangerous persons, having been already guilty
of improper conduct towards the lunatic.
Mr. Herat replied.
Mr. Trust-ova. stated, that he'had a petition of Mr.
Corbett, on behalf of Sir Gregory, praying that he
(Sir Gregory) might have legal advice m prepar'ng
to traverse the-inquisition. It seemed to him (Mr.
Treslove) absurd to allege that Sir Gregory had the
power to traverse the inquisition, when he had not
,a
shilling in his possession, and his solicitor was forbid
access to him.

The Loan CIIANOULOII observed, that the property of the luna-
tic bad net been taken front him by any process in this Court.
'Mr. Tisesi.ovs observed that Mr. Maberly (the Solicitor), who
opposed the presenkepplicatlon, had all the property of Sir Gregory
in his hands.

The Loan CUANCRLLOR was not acquainted with
any casein veliitfreonfidence seemed to have been so,
mach abused as in that of Sr Gregory Page Turner.
His Lordship felt it to be-necessary to read all the affi-
d4vits end held it to be his duty to take care that, if
Sir Gregory was to. be represented at all, he should
be properly represented—in other words, with his full
concurrence. His Lordship therefore required all the
affidavits to be handed to him, He would hot prejudge
th.; case; the application might be extremely proper.
Mr. Snanwatx observed, that the petition supported
by Mr. Treslove; was that to which he had before
alluded; it was unsupported by afficlavii, and contained
severe and unjust reflections upon Sir Gcorge Tuthill.
At a subsequent period of the day, the LORD CHAN-
CBLLOR stated that there must hate been some misun-
derstanding with respect to his order on tl,e petition of
Lady Turner. It had been referred to the Master to
make inquiry as to what was fit to be done? but he
had rect iced a letter from some individual who seemed
to complain that, under invent circumstances, the
Court should have ordered a provision for Lady Turn; r.
The Court had done no such thing.

IN 11Z WADE. • I
This case occupied the whole day, and was only part
heard. It was an application to supersede a commis-
:ion of bankruptcy issued against Mr.Shuckford %V4de,
a gentlem:ll of some property, in Suffolk. The princi-
pal feature is this case was the circumstance that
Messrs. Rabett and Mayhew, Solicitors, of Saxmund-
ham, Suffolk, had obtained a controul over the property
'of Mr. Wade, with the ostensible view of extricating
him from his pecuniary embarrassment!. They pro-
cured from him a deed of trust, in which they were
appointed trustees of his estate; they raised money by
mortgaging the property so conveyed, and finatly
struck a docket against Mr. Wade, alleging the exe-
cution of the deed as the act of bankruptcy. They were,
the Solicitors under the commission (which they did
not open till after 46 days after it had been issued), the
Solicitors for the petitioning creditor, as well as the
Solicitors fort! e trustees.
The Loan Camecezzoa expressed some apprehension in the
course of the argument as to what would be the result of super-
seding the commission in this case. Not only hal Messrs. Ra-
bett and Mayhew placed themselves in a very awkward situation,
but the mortgagees on the tract estates.
The argument on behalf of Messrs. Rabett and Mayhew, and
their co-trustees, will proceed to-morrow.

The Wheat harvest throughout Kent and Surrey has
already made considerable progress, and is very pro-
ductive in the ear, though the straw is very short; but
we have noticed in several of the higher lands, which
have been more than others exposed to the heat of the
Sun, that in many crops the ear is not so full and large
as is more usual when the growth has been helped by
le egnent showers of rain ; and that the reaping has been
effected with greater caution than is customary in that
most important pert of the labour. in order to prevent
the grain from shedding during the operation. The
rains which, in the last week, appeared heavy in Lon-
don, have sc freely been felt in the open field, where it
has fallen very partially. On Saturday last the whole
atmosphere towards the East of the Thames was voile.'
is darkness for a time, almost like night itself, and
much ran fell in Essex, white in Kent and Surrey these
was' an unclouded 'sky, except about noon. Wherever
Ike rain falls upon the' sheaves it ' swells the cars, and
preveists th...ni shedding out of the hush. fri many of
thew parts tb•. farmers. %ere very busy in carrying
,heir crops, and before the pre:ent we•'k Shall elapse,
'there will not ho ltft a load nor a :id c not) the lands.
