This morning, Mr. HA RT presented
lbehalf of Lord. Grantlerh—praying that
&child appoint a tit anti prmer persos,
'care of thorerson of the said Earl should be eotrogSda.
sad thap.the report of the Master be stsycocird
then. • The petition went on to ply, that a proper
person be appointed to be the Recetriet Of the Rents
and •Profits ofthe Estate, but that he.did not, for the
present, press; not that he abandoned it, "but it was
premature now. The rest of the matter he conceived
to be much of course.
Mr. BicxeusrAFF was on the same side.

The ATTOA\EY•GBNLRAL was a good deal SW-
prised at this applic4ion - it came from Lord Grant-,
ley, who, although he was trustee of the estate of this
unfoitunate Nobletnin, was yet a stranger in blood
to the family ; and who was not, at present, a person
who had anything to do with the care of the person
of the Noble Earl Mr. Henry Fellowes was nomi-
nated by the Master; why was my Lord Grantley to
anticipate that everything which was right would not
be done by Mr. Fellowes ?" This Petition was unneces-
sary, and therefore he must oppose it as useless.
Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. Parra followed on the
same side.

Richard Grigg, aged-26, was indicted for robbing
it C. Pole, Bart:. on the bighissay; of kr g6lll watch,
!chain, and seals.
Sir G Pole deposed, that on, the .)stl).ofMarchi

The whole transaction did not occupy a minute and •
a half. The chain and seals were found. fir C.
Pole's sei vant corroborated this evidence, and the
Jury found the pi isoner•Guilty—Death.
Thomas Bari:es. aged 26, was indicted for break-
ing and entering the house of Lnc:ts Houghton, and
stealing a great coat, a tea caddy, and a variety ol
other articles.
Mr. Houghton is a law stationer, having a coun-
try house at Edmonton.. and the prisoner was for
some time his labourer. On' the morning of the 20th
of February, his house was found to have been rob-
bed, the thief having taken up a grating. and got in
at the kitchen window, by taking out a pane of glass.
A table clock was among the. property stolen... A'
suspicion fell on the prisoner, and enquiry being
made at his lodging, it was found that he had quit-
ted, saying ,be was going to work at another place,
but it was ascertained that he had gone to London.
Hand-bills were printed, and distributed among the
pawnbrokers, and one at I3attle Bridge produced a
great coat, and a tea caddy, allies the prisoner had
pawned with him. The tea caddy was locked, and
when Mr. Houghton produced the key of it, it was
found to contain tea, and a silver caddy spoon. Ver-
dict, Guilty—Death.
Henry Pesten, aged 19, was indicted for breaking
and entering the house of Richard Birkenshaw, and
stealing 12 sovereigns, and Joseph Hatchett, aged 20,
and John Day, aged 19, were indicted for receiving
the same, knowing them to have been stolen.
Mr. Birkenshaw is a grocer at Holloway. On the
19th of March he went out, having locked up his.
'house and shop ; but, on his return at 11 o'clock at,
,night, be found they had been broken open, and the
money, and other articles, chiefly a great quantity of
apparel, were stolen. He got a light from a neigh-
bour and they 'found Pestell lying on his back asleep
in the kitchen. Some of the apparel was foliates
'his person. Day was apprehended by Taylor, lei
officer, on the 11th of March, and Hatthett on tbe
145th. Day Wanted the Magistrate, at Worship-streeti
to accept bail, but he said he could not. He then cOo-
'fessed that some of the property was in a field. The
Magistrate allowed the officers to take them to the,
place, and on their way to Hornsey-lane, Day said,
that Hatehett knew where it was. • Hatchett then
toOk than aver a bank into a field, and then climbed
-a hollow tree, into which he put his hand, and
tossk.out two waistcoats, which had been stolen from
the prosecutor, and which he said he had got from
Pestell, at the Plough, in the Hornsey-road. Verdict,
Guilty—Deuth".
Mary Smith, aged 21, was indicted for stealing a
1001. note, and other monies, the property of Ti

The LORD CIIANCILLOR said that he did not think
this petition was necessary, tecause it was the duty
of the Court to take care of the matter which was
the subject of it. He did not think, however, that
the petition ought to be censured, for be could not
forget that this unfortunate Nobleman was a person
who had beet: in the world from the year 1809 until
1823, as a pet son having no care thrown around him,
although he had been for the whole of that time in
want of that care,.he being,:. as. it was now found by
the proper tribunal, a It:italic, all that while; and that
it was owing to Lord Grantley that protection had
been thrown around the person of that unfortunate
Noble Earl. It was not the business of the Court to
appoint any body to take care of the person or estate of
the Noble Etrl, that was the Master's business; " but
(said his Lordship) " 1 never will confirm-the appoint-
ment of anybody to be a committee of the person of
this Noble Lord, unless there shall be a provision for
proper cate to be taken, day and night, and from
hour to hour, of the comfort and happiness of that
unfortunate noble person ;" and, therefore, his Lord-
ship decided that this matter should go back for the
above purpose to the blaster; and after hearing a,
general reply from Mr. HART to what had been said.
against the Petition, and defending his client for pre-
senting it ; for my Lord Grantley, he said, was
only anxious that due care should be taken of thi
unfortunate Nobleman. His Lordship said, .4 I think
that, if I understand anything, I understand this case
tolerably well ; and my secretary, who has heard whad
have said upon it, will draw out an order accordingly,
which I shall also, as I shall find necessary, with
my own hand. Ido not think it necessary to make
any order on the Petition of my Lord Grantley, al-
though I do not blame him for presenting it; on the
contrary, had it not been for the efforts of Lore
Grantley, I doubt whether this Court would eves
have had any exercise of its jurisdiction in this asat-
ter ; but that is now gone by, and unless I mistik
this case very much, I shall be Ole to provide that
due care shall be thrown around this Noble Lurd, both
with regard to his personal happiness and the aim•
nagement a his property." •
