THE ICING V. WINCHESTER.

In this caw a rule for an Habra. Corpus hid b•eu
ohtaiced to bring tip the daughter of Mr. Hem, Win.
checter, of Buckingham-street. Strand. The applica•
tion was made r,ll the part of a Mr. Row, the huthand
of the Lady.

The Sotictrou GIiNtRAL now apperred on the part
of Mi. Winchester, sr d Slr. BROUGHAM on the pot uf
NI:. Row, and stated th it t e ariangeni, nt proposed by
Mr. IVincliester when t s waiter oas Isst befile the
Court had been emird into elf ct, tui both parties

under controul. The allegation set up a case of con
apiracy between Sir John Tyrell and a housekeeper of
the.deceased, named J ire Bayles, who it was alleged
held him under controul. It also alleged that Sir John'
Tyrell had knowingly omitted certain property left by
the deceased in the inventory sworn to by him as exe-
cutor, and in other respects had given false te•timmiy.
It.mot cover alleged a variety of circumstances tending
to show the imbecility, or rather insanity of the deceased,
, such a; dancing in the open street (at the age of 82);
using a parasol as if it were a fiddle ; conducting him-
self in a manner unbecoming the char.scter of a clergy-I
man ; drinking gin at public houses in company with
his housekeeper ; m .king use of the most indelicate lan-
gtiage, &c. Upon one occasion he obta'ned permission
to preach at Run well church; he invited a number of
persons from B 1;e: icay to go• thither with music to
accompany the psalms,and in his sermon used language
so gross that the congregation was disgusted.
Dr. PIIILLIMORE objected to the admission of the
allegations, on the ground that they were vague, dif-
fuse, and frivolous. He contended that many of them
were introduced with a very improper spirit, and showed
the character of the opposition to the will.
D. LUSHINGTOW said,. that the case set up by him
was this—absence of testamentary capacity, deranged
intellect, controul, andel:indolent conduct ; and in such
cases, however frivolous some of the circumstances
might appear, it was the combined weight of them
which inclined the decision of the Court.
Sir J. Nrcuot.t. said, that in all cases where fraud
and circumvention were charged as employed towards
a testator of weak and impaired capacity, the Court was
anxious to give as full a scope as possible to the admis-
sion of the details; it could not, in this stage, decide
what were and what were not necessary. He should,
therefore, admit the allegation next Court-day, referring
it to Counsel, in the meanwhile. to compress it still more
if possit.le.

COLVIN AGAINST FRASER AND OTHERS.

The KING'S ADVOCATE opened this case on behalf of

formed by Mr. Phillips, who had called to make final
arrangements sespecting the Foothill estates, that unless
he made a codicil, his will would only pass his personal
property, promised to do so, adding that Mr. J. F. Fraser
should not have a sixpence mote from him; that Mr. JAS.
Mortimer had had too much, and that none of his rela-
tions should be benefitted by his death ; that for the last
twelve months the cabinet before mentioned had been
left by the deceased unlocked and his papers lolse ; that
alter his death several papers, and an envelope beating a
superscription, o the will And codicil of John Farquhar,
Esq." were taken possession of by Mr. J. F. Fraser and

respecting the administration between Mr. Fraser and
Mr. Mortimer, and that Mrs. Mortimer declared to a
witness named Hurst, that John Farquhar Fraser was
under great obligations to her, for that she had de-
stroyed the oil/.
An allegation has been put in on behalf of Mr. John
Farquhar Fraser, consisting of 51 articles, which con-
tradicted various averments on the other side in respect
to the history of the deceased ; it also alleged the
amount of the personal property left by the deceased

posited the will he brought front India with Messrs.

dated he would make provi ion fr.r all his relations,

that Mr. Farquhar had left no will, and chat lie intended

Nlr. Coke on behalf of Mears. Palmer, and several
cirdi4 r,.

The insolvent, in the early part of his examination,
gave his evidence with apparent ease and readiness,
Ile sated that he lately c4rlie,l on the business of a

may receive:: S. Irons Mt. Pearce.

Mr.CooKs—Upon vur s4cred oath, insolvent, did

The insolvent, at t!.is question, seemed quite as-
lounde.l, and turned pale. The question was put
sescral times, and alter pausing several minutes, the
insolvent emphatically exclaimed, "Yes, I did receive
701." He was then asked whether he did not receive
the money two days before the render to prison? He
again paused, and tried to evade the question ; but on
being reminded of his oath, exclaimed, 6 Yef....3')
Gun!" and fell backwards. H.d not some of the pri-
soners caught him in their arms, he would have fallen
against an iron bar, and probably broken his neck.

Mr COOKE said he should decline proceeding with
his case. lie had no individual opposition against the
insolvent, and he therefore prayed that the case might
stand adjouineJ.
The CHILI? CONIIIPEIONIR entreated the irsolvent's

Yesterday Henry Delmer, a man ofabOut thirry.six year of age,
of extremely respectable appearance, was brought to this office by
Taunton, the principal officer, charged with embezzling the sum of
1,360 f. the property of Mr. Uobr. Davis, of Shoreditch, merchant
and banker. At the pressing request of the prowl:riot the same-
nation took place in private.
Mr. Davis, the prosecutor, is a merchant and banker, and It ap.,
poured that the prisoner had been no his employment ins about lour
years, doting the last two ol which lie w the contr.!. ntial clerk
of the er atoll-lament. resided in the house. and had She sole care and
controul of the accounts. On M lay morning last Mr. Davis dis-
covered that the pri. ttttt r and Lis wile had len the house-, taking
with them their son. twelve years of age, and that lb. y bad aboo
taken with them their wearing apparel and other necessaries: this
discovery led to an immediate inspect' to the hooks of the
concern, and Mr. Davis found that their w. re delaleations
on the p.rt of the prisoner to the amount of 1,56 I. lie came'
instately to this office, and applied to Sir IL Bream for a warrant,
which was granted. and put it into the bands of Taunton, who
ascertained that the prisoner and his wife, and child, left Lon-
don by the Liverpool mail, on Sunday evening. Taunton left
town by the same mail on Monday evening, and traced the lu
gitove.s from town to town, until they arrived at Liverpool,
where the officer learned that they bad beets put down by the
mail at the Saracen's Head, in Dale. street. Taunton pursued
his inquiry, and finally traced the prisoner to a boarding-house
in Union-street, where be found him sitting with his wife and
child. When Taunton% errand was mad- known, a write of the
most distressing kind ensued. The wife tainted,the prborer burst
into a flood of tears, and the son, a fine boy. clung round his whet,
and begged that they might nut be separated. Taunton avaiched
the prisoner and the trunks, and about tzuoi. in money were gerund.
Taunton asked how it was, that with the income he had, and the
large sum embezzled, he had so little reasainitig ? and the prisoner
said, " Oh, Mr.T.ounton ! I have been a mad tool, and sap, ineleted
it away." The parties kft Liverpool by the earliest conveyance,
and arrived in London on Thursday night.
Mr. Davis produced the books containing a debtor and creditor
account kept between him and the prisoner, and loomed the em-
betterment to the amount already stated.
Sir R. MILNIC—.WIEtt did the prisoner receive. Mt. Davis?
Mr. Davise—l gave him one hundred pounds a year, and he
lived in my house, and was priori led with coals, candles, and
furniture.

Sir 11. Blame asked how it was that the pritimer, %/gbh so small
a family, could have run through so much money ?
The pri4orier, covering his face with his hand., said, " I will tell
the truth. Sir Richard. 1 unhappily formed a connection with a
female at the west end of die town, and that c iiiiii (awn has brought
me to this disgraceful situation."

Sir IL Dianna-1 thought there must have been something of
that sort. Let the priien-r be committed
