LAW INTE4IGENCE.
•

COURT OF CTIANC*IIY, AUGUST is.
EX.:PARTE ICIRKLET;:INRE BULMER.

A very nice question arose in this case, as to the pro-
per construction to be put.upon the Act 33 Geo.HI.
commonly called Mr. Rose's Act, which gives to
Friendly Societies a full claim upon the effects of
their Treasurers or other officers holding their money
in trust, in case of such officers becoming bankrupts,
to the postponement of the dividends of other credi-
tors. Mr. Bulmer had been Treasurer, President,
and one of the Trustees of the South Shields Bene-
volent Institution. The Society determined upon a
conversion of theit Stock from the Three to the Five
per Cents. some time in 1814. The money was
drawn out under the joint power of attorney of the
four Trustees, and paid into the bank of Mr. Balmer,
to the advantage of his private credit. The transfer
Was not made, though Mr. Bulmer continued to ac-
count to the Society for the dividends as if it had
been made. Upon Mr. Bulmer's bankruptcy taking
place, the Society obtained an order from the Vice-
Chancellor to prove their debt under the commis-
sion, conformably to the direction of the Statute.
Mr. HEALD and Mr. SPENCE now appealed on be-
half, of Mr. Bulnier's creditors, against the order
made by his Honour. Their opposition to it-Was
chiefly on the ground of the Society having a com-
plete remedy in their claim upon the three Trustees,
who had not become insolvent.
Mr. WETHERELL, who was followed on the same
side by Mr. SIMPKINSON, supported the order, and
' contended for the unconditional remedy which was
left to the Society by the wording of the Act, with-
.

out any reservations or exceptions whatsoever.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that Mr. Rose must
have had a strong feeling in favour of Friendly So-
cieties,•to give them a paramount chum of twenty
, shillings in the pound upon the effects, to the post-
ponement of the other creditors; and he doubted the
justice of doing so very much. However, such was
certainly the purport of the Act, in cases where there
was but one Treasurer. The question in this case
-was, whether the Act did really give such a claim
to the Society upon the estate of one Trustee, when
that claim must be considered in a manner useless,
because there were three other Trustees who were
equally implicated in the misapplication of the funds,
who were equally responsible for the effects, and
who, moreover, were all three solvent? It appeared
to him that a Court of Equity would find great dif-
ficulty in bringing this case within the meaning of
the Act. He could not, however, undertake to say
that it did not come within the Act, until he had
read through all the Acts (for there were several be-
sides the 33d Geo. III.) which had been passed for
regulating the interests of Friendly Societies. This
he proposed to do in the vacation, and give his deci-
sion at the first Sittings after the vacation.

• LBW'S V. GOODINOUGH.
This was an-inquiry before Mr. COLLINRIDGI) for
the assessment of damages in a case of assault, judg-
ment having been allowed to go by default.
Mr. ANDRZWS stated the case,for the plaintiff. The
defendant, he said, was a baker, resident in Plgcv.f
street, into whose service the plaintiff, who was a
son of one of the Society of Friends, and bearing a
characteristic love of peace, entered in the month of
February upon liking. This was preparatory to an
apprenticeship. A month had not elapsed before the
'spirit of authority began to manifest itself in a very
disagreeable manner. The master, on returning from
a party where there had been no lack of drink, ac-
cused the lad of having done his work badly. The
%imputation was good-humouredly retorted upon the
master, who thereupon struck the lad, knocked him
•-down,beat him for falling, and afterwards boasted
:of the feat. Whatever might have been formerly said
'about the right of masteEs to beat their servants, the
practice could not nogbe endured. What; then,
could be said of a case in which the three weeks at
teVanee of a surgeon was found necessary in couse-'
quence of the violence of the plaintiff?
John Good, who is in the service of the defendant,
stated that the defendant asked the plaintiff whether
he had done all his work ? to which' the plaintiff re. .1
plied, that' he had not delivered the bread in the Mi- ,
*nories, because he had been occupied at home. The
defendant told him he was of no use to the comarn,
and the other said he could do his work as well as
• the defendant. A scrunmage then ensued between,
them, and they both scuffled together; the plaintiff
"went down.

Caroline Hazzarel, late a servant of the defendant,
deposed, that she heard him say, on the e►ening of the
.day iri question, that if the plaintiff " took the law
of him, he would beat him whilst he had a drop of
blood in his body." At supper, defendant asked wit-
ness, whether the lad had said anything about it/
Witness said he had complained of being beaten
whilst he was down. Defendant said it was a lie, for.,
he bad knocked the fellow down three times and then
picked hilt► up again. Did not think defendant was
at the time in liquor.
Another witness deposed, that the defendant,•ob-
served, upou being spoken to on the subject, that the
plaintiff should have kept out of the way upon seeing
, him in a passion.
Mr. Scowdell, surgeon, stated that the plaintiff's
knee was much swollen ; that he complained of a pain
in the side and breast, from blows received from the
defendant. It was thought necessary to put him to
bed. Some time after he was attacked with a plat,
risy, which might -have arisen hem the blows or
from other causes.. The bill for attendance, &c. was
between £4 and £5. The damages were assessed at £5.

The Liverpool Courier says; the diminution of crime
in that county is só great, that there were only thirty.
one prisoners at the..Laneaster Assizes, which com-
menced on Wednestlar. , •
Last Saturday, a young girl, between 16 and 17
years of age, drawing water with a pail out of the

ASSIZES
GLOUCESTER, AVOTAT 14.
Jane Green was indicted for the Wilful murder of
her female bastard child. She appeared at the bar
without manifesting any emotion.—After the evi-
dence had been gone through,

1,
Mr. Baron Iliiitoca stated, that as there was no
proof that the child was born alive, there was not
evidence to go to the Jury respecting the murder,
but he recapitulated the testimony from which.they
might infer that the prisoner was guilty of conceal.
ing the birth.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner of the murder, bat
found her guilty of concealing the birth of her child.
The Learned JODG2 sentenced her to be impri-
soned for 18 calendar • months.—The prisoner curt-
seyed, and said, " Thank you, my Lord."
Edward Harris, a grey-headed little Sian, aged
68, was indicted for a rape on Sarah, the wife of T.
Williams Poulton, of the Parish of St. George, near
Bristol, on the 21st of July last.
It appeared in evidence, that Mrs. Poulton, who is
a young woman of seven and twenty, waited until the
old man stripped off his clothes and went to bed to
her, when, she says, he accomplished his purpose ;
and although the house *as within some twenty_paces
of other inhabited buildings, her screams were un-
heard. In the course of cross-examination, and by
the evidence for the defence, it came out, that the
prisoner had placed a five pound note in the window
of the room,• and that he had also left his pocket-
book; the prosecutrix and her husband were taken
up on a charge of robbery, and discharged on restor-
ing them. The prisoner was Acquitted.
!Valiant Bloodworth was indicted under Lord El-
lenborough's Act, for cutting Daniel Lusty, with in-
tent to murder him, or to disfigure him, or to do
him some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. PHILPOTT4 stated the case for the prosecution,
and called the following witnesses :
Daniel Lusty, the prosecutor, said, I live at King's
Stanley, and the prisoner resides in the same place.
I had bought a house and garden in the beginning of
the year, and claimed, as part of the garden, some
ground which had been planted with strawberry
bushes by the prisoner's mother. On the 19th of
May I was digging up the ground with Thomas Wil.
kips,, whom I had engaged for the purpose, whet the
prisoner walked towards us nitba hatchet. Ile said
" Are you acting like, Men ?" and threatened to strike
Wilkins with the hatchet if be proceeded. Wilkins:
raised his pickaxe ; Bloodworth cried " Murder," and
I ran towards him. , Before I' reached the prisoner,
,my foot slipped ; I fell, and immediately was struck
through-my hat on the back ,of mthead with some
'sharp weapon. I Was stunned a While;:bui after-
, wards found myself in the arms of Wilkins. • I then
saw the prisoiaer With a 'hatchet iii his hand, and
heard him say' With an' oath,.he would cut down any
one who shoubl come on his' ground. The ground
was mine ; but there bad been many dirrites between
the prisoner and me about,it. /;11ad fatten 'Some land
fin, a few yards', but not to the extent allowed me.—.
'Here a shrill voice from the gallery cried out, " It
is mine, my Lord, and excited sore laughter).
The witness further said, I had honestly bought the
land. I bad taken down 'seven or 'eight yards of
fence, and made an enclosure of about two
Wilkins and I were working at that part of the and
'Where prisoner's mother had Planted strawberry
bushes. I Was putting the pickaxe into therground
-there when the prisoner came up. He had threatened
me before : but I did not quarrel with Mtn-
Thomas, Wilkins said, on the 'l9th of May I was
employed by the last witness to assist him in his
garden. We were grubbing out the foundation of an
old wall. While we were so employed, .we sawthe
prisoner coming from his house towards us. He said,
" Are you acting like men r •He then took up an
old pickaxe, and said, 44 If you , put in the pickers
again, 111 slap your skull." I toldhim if he would
not take away the hatchet frometny, head, I .would.

Lusty fell down, and Bloodworth struck benison thei
back of his head with the hatchet,• while be was ore

nor held up anything against him. The blood Howell:

down with the axe. • He recovered, and I said Imlay

he would cut down any DM who should come on

Mr. Baron Htim.oCir recapirtrlited the evidence,
and directed the attention of the Jury to the serious
aspect of the charge as laid against the prisoner, He
informed them, that before they could find him guilty,
they must be convinced that he struck the blow under
circumstances which would have rendered him guilty
of murder if denth had resulted from the injury, and
also. that he.designed either tn.murder the prose:cur;
to disfigure him, ,or to do him some grlevoof bodily
harm. The whole
femur Of the Learned Judge's ad-
dress was stronglY in favo4r of as AcqUittal.
The Jury, however, ;titer deliberating for twenty
minutes„ found the:prisoner Guilty, oti the last count,
of cutting with intent to do somegr evousbodily hard'.
Mr. Baron Hot,t,ocx heard the verdict with evi-
dent emotion, and after a pause, during which his
eyes were filled with tears, directed that sentence of
death should be recorded against the prisoner.
This case closed the Assizes, and the Orford Cir-
cuit. It is a gratifying example of the operation of
the recent Act, that the Judges, not having fat icier-
pelled to leaire any prisoner for execution, hive not,
in any instance, passed sentence of death.
