Mr. Haat", on the fame Wei enterle4 at great
length into the cafe, and olsferved upon ill the - tt,v-
pc, urged by Sir amuel Rotpilly and Mi. Bang .
Hi &intended thit this waSin'indowed fchoOktliat_
the- Smaller .wii ientovable at the, pleaftire 61 the.
Corporation, that the leafe pot the matter bey Wadi
all doubt. He would not follow Mr. Scott to.iiot.l
tingham, through Coke upon Littleton, Rad all his
nice points of law, he fhould referee himfelf foi
that till the caufe ctme to a hearing; but he war
fearful that an impreffion had been made upon his
Lordfhip's mind, in favour of the plaintiff; svLich he
felt it his duty to remove. His learned leader had
refuted the produition of the old book: Their clients
had given them no inflruCtion to produce it. &fink '
the hearing, the other fide would have an opportu-
nity of examining it ; however, he obfet ved, that Sir
i Samuel Romilly was infpeCting it. That bor.k would
l prove other fums paid for this houfe, befides a1.65.8d.
1 and 21. and he mentioned fev,-ral furns.

Mr. Scorr obferved, that every fum Mr. Heald
had mentioned was a multiple of 6s. Bd. which con-
firmed his argument.
Mr. HEALD then read feveral extraas from the
anfwer, to thew that Mr. Scott was ruiltaken in the
inferences he had drawn, and that though Mr.
Chifholm, when he was tirft appointed, had railed
the fchool to a great height, he had now got old,
and negligent ; and the fchool had fallen off. The
Corporation therefore wiffied to have a young and
more able man to raife the fchool again.
Sir SAMUEL Rom' LLY, in reply,declared,that icons
his obfervations on this old book, there was no doubt
of the fchool being endowed, and that Isl. a year
was the !Upend of the fchoolmaffer in- rsstf. -
fupported Mr. Scott's argument very frnoibly, by
reading extracts from the anfwer, and the toreefpon.
4ence of Mr. Sollert ; and (aid that the Corporation,
would not have dared to make this attack upon Mr.
Chifholm's•charalter,. but under their c rporate feat'
The Leto CHANCELLOR laid he conceived, that'
with refpee to the doarine of Ettoppel, it was pot:.
fable that the cafe might not-have been effedually
triad at 14w. The plaintiff might certainly have
gone out of pnielliol, and brought an ejectment tea-
mg upon his own title. He quellioned much the
validity rif this leak ; at all events, the plaintiff had
adop:ed the bell courfe he could porfue under the cir.
cumllances, by having recourfe to this Court. The
relief in this cafe was not to be given to an indivi-
dual, bur to the charity itfelf : making therefore the
molt of it, he confidered there was equity (ufficient
to fullain the prefent injunction. It apreared that
the reboot, of which the plaintiff claimed to be mai:
ter, had culled for upwards of 200 years, and the
fad of the Corporation having uniformly regarded
themfelves as bound to uphold the fchool houfe being
Apparent, from their having at one time expended
on it in repairs upwards of tool. while at the fame
time they did not let the houfe for the bell rent which
could be got for it, but at a rent merely nominal;
he, therefore, would not take it for granted that this
was not an endowed fchool. It did, indeed, appear
that the expence attending it had latterly been defray
ed out of the general funds of the Corporation ; but
this by no means afforded fatisfadory proof that a
feparate fund had not originally been let afide for
this individual purple. He deprecated the idea
that hecaufe a fchoolmader was grown old, and in
capable i f the aaive duties of his youth, that there
fore he ought to be removed. It was upon the whole
better fur the public that the office fhould be for life,
dependant only upon the good charaaer and con.
duet of the fchoolmahr. His Lordfhip efleemed it
a matter of the highed importance, that it fhould
be afeert.tined with precifion what fums had been
let allele in this country for the education of youth.
It was the province of Oat Coon to inquire into all
fuch milappropriations, and, if- poffible, to bring,
them back to their original delltdation. His Lord-
fhip was thoroughly latisfied the invelligationnow
going on would evince that there was already in the
country an ample fund for an eitentive fyflem of
education. Every endeavour to dee a diferavery
of this nature fhould receive fuch fuPport as it was
in his Lorchhip's power to-grant. He was notigno.
rant that it had been to Mauch-the fylietti with Cm-
" potations. where endowed fehools were entrolled to
I their care, to avail themfelves of the necellities of
1 candidates for the office of fchoolmaner. and to ap-
point them during pleafure, rather than during life,
• and thereby reduce them from the MriatiOn of free
holders to that of tenants. Of filch mifapplicatinn of
the troll tepofed in Corporations, his Lnrdthip mull
always difapprove ; and without imputing it to the
Corporation in queltion, that any mifapplication ex•
1 iflcd on• their part, he mull order the injunction to
I be continued.

Five children have been burnt to death in the fpace
of a week, at Wakefield and its neighbourhood, in
cnnfequence of the repreben.fible conduit of their
friends, wha left them alone, or in cha►ge of other
children.

On the morning of Wsdnefday laff, a child of Mr.
Button, mufic feller, of St. Paul's Church Yard,
between three and four years of age, being left by a
fervant in a room, where a lighted candle was placed
on the hearth, dole to the grate, approached fo'near
as to fet its clothes on fire. The father and fulother
of the infant being firft alarmed by the cries of the
little fufferer, battened to its affiflancc, and ex in
guiflied the fftmes by rolling it in a carpet. The
feelings of the parents may he conceived, when they
beheld the fpeaacle which their child exhibited, with
the eyes totally deffroyed, and otherwife dreadfully
disfigured. After languifhing in this condition about
twelve hours, death happily relieved the poor little
viaim from the torture which it snuff have endured.
The verdia of the Coroner's 'rumen, held on the
following day was—Accidental Peath.
