a matter of no moment, it could not but be known,

that a family, so highly distinguished as this had
been, would of course esteem them as the most pre-
cious of all relics. They were not to be removed
out of the mansion-house without the permission of
the trustees, and two copies of an inventory were to
be kept by the trustees, signed by his Grace, and by
them also. If any thing was lost, it was to be re-
&d and paid by the tenant for life. The Learned
weasel then quoted the Affidavits on which an in-
' junction had been recently granted by the Lord Chan-
cellor, which, it will be recollected, we formerly re-
ported. Since that, there was reason to fear more
of the plate was gone, and this was in direct viola-
tion of the Lord Chancellor's injunction, which or-
dered none of the remaining plate to be removed
without leave from the trustees. The object of this
application was not dictated by any sordid or mer-
cenary motives by the trustees, for they could not
be any way benefited, whatever the result might be,
but their sole anxiety arose from the sacred trust
with which they were invested. An offer was made
to the Duke to have the books merely examined with
the inventories, but not removed, and his Grace was
told by letter, that the Rev. Mr. Thomas was ap-
pointed by the Trustees on that subject ; to which he
replied, that he would grant permissson for this to
be done provided he was at Blenheim, but he would
not go there on purpose. The sword had since been
recovered, it having been taken in execution by a
creditor. This was the conduct of the Duke, and in
such a case his Honour would judge what to do, as
Mr. Triphook, a bookseller in St. James's-street, had
one day said, he had brought back all the plate to
the Duke, and next day declared he was telling a
falsehood, for he had never done so.
After a long discussion on the case by Counsel,
The VICE-CHANCELLOIt ordered the Duke to per-
mit the library to be examined by Mr. Thomas, and
the whole furniture, &c. by some other persons to be
appointed by the Trustees before Saturday the 17th
instant, liberty, meanwhile, to be given to his Grace
to put in his answer, or an Affidavit, before that
day about the plate, with certification, that if both
these were not done, the Court would hold him in
contempt of its authority. " I shall make him bring
back all, or make it good," said the Vice-Chancellor,
" and till he does so, he shall not receive a single
shilling of the estate, nor a penny of it."

DOCTORS' COMMONS, JULY io.
DIVORCE.-TURNER U. TURNER.

. _
This was a suit of separation, brought by Elizabeth
Turner against her husband, Francis Mark Turner,
Esq. on the ground of adultery.
The marriage in this case was proved, by a copy
of the marriage register and other evidence, to have
taken place in 1816, as was likewise the identity of
the parties—their subsequent cohabitation, their
being received as man and wife by Mr. Jeffries, the
lady s father, and there being four children issue of
the marriage.
The facts were these :—They lived and cohabited
together till 1616. Mr. Turner, an Officer in the
Army, being about to join his regiment, then sta-
tioned at Brighton, it was thought proper the lady
should go to her father's house in London, on account
of same pecuniary difficulties which they laboured
under, and it appeared they never cohabited after
that time. The husband having afterwards seduced
and carried on an adulterous intercourse with a young
woman, named Phelps, with whom he had lived and
cohabited as man and wife, under the assumed name
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomson, at Brighton, West Cliff,
and other places.
The facts of the adultery being proved by various
witnesses, the Court pronounced sentence of separa-
tion accordingly.
The husband, who was in Court; was so much af-
fected on hearing the sentence pronounced, that he
burst into a flood of tears.
RIGHT OP PARISH CLERGYMEN TO PRESIDE AT

VESTRY MEING&
This was a question on admission of articles exhi-
hited against, and citation served upon, Alexander
Macbeth, Esq. in the nature of a criminal process, at
,the instance of the Rev. Dr. Wilson, Rector of the
Parish of St. Mary, Aldermary, charging the defen-
dant with unlawfully and indecently interrupting
and preventing the said Rector from exercising the
office of Chairman at a Vestry Meeting, which was
called for the purpose of electing a Churchwarden.
Dr. WILLIAM ADAMS, as Counsel for the, defen-
dant, objected to the admissibility of the articles pro-
pounded, on the ground that no act of violence had
been committed. He regretted that a dispute of
such an unpleasant nature should have come intothis
Court. The facts were shortly these:—The Meeting
having assembled, Mr. Macbeth was proposed by the
parishioners to take the Chair. He did not do so,
but took a seat at the other end of the table. On
Dr. Wilson's coming in and taking the Chair, as he
had been in the regular habit of doing for two years
preceding, Mr. Macbeth opposed his addressing the
Meeting, by interrupting him in the act of so doing;
upon which Dr. Wilson got up and left the room.—
There was no insinuation that Mr. Macbeth had con-
ducted himself with any intemperance, although the
citation set forth—" Such conduct being indecent,
and unbecoming, and subversive of the law, civil and
ecclesiastical, of this realm." This was abroad ques-
tion, however, and of importance to all Vestries and
Clergymen throughout the Kingdom, claiming as an
absolute right to preside at Vestry Meetings; that

enforced b tight to eby ecciesiastidai cans ties, in Uri
• • •
nature of a criminal proceeding against the parties
resisting or denying its authority: The Learned Adz
vocate contended there was no authority for any such
absolute right, but that it should be left to be settled
as a matter of courtesy and committee by the ma=
jority of the parishioners. The law had expressly
provided, in the absence of the Clergyman, that the
parishioners shorld proceed to elect ciee of thiem-:
selves to take the Chair, for that the parishibners
who attended were all on an equal footing. In lip:,
port of this doctrine, he cited the case of Strange v.
Reynolds, wherein Lori ll.irdv.icke had conctirred,
'that the Clergyman had ho right 'to preside, but as
chosen by the parishioners.
Dr. LUSITINOTON followed oc the same side.—He
Observed, it was incumbent on the Rector to shew,
first, that he had that absolute right; secondly, that
to interrupt or prevent his exercising it was a crimi-
nal offence : and Ipstly, that it was a matter of eccle-
siastical jurisdicticp. In Burn's Eccicsisalcal Law,
this was found to be a mere dich:m pelrie author,
and not grounded upon any express decision. The
Act of Parliament for the more drderly conduct of
Vestry Meetin;-,-s gave a rower to elect one of the '
inhabitants; that Act, however, excepted the City of

London as to its proiisions' and therefore was not in
point, but as it might-le rereszed to by way of ana-
logy.. He contended Ds
.Wilson had mistaken his
remedy against Mr. Macbeth, for an act done in the
most peaceable manner. Had it been an act tcf
brawling or outrage towards the Clergyman on such
occasion, then only would the jurisdiction of this
Court have legally applied. The right of the Clergy-
man, he contended, was merely the right of any per-
son chosen by a majority which gave him the right
only of a casting vote,
Dr. Pututatoni, for the Rev. Dr. Wilson,
ap-
pealed to the Court wilat the consequences would be
in this country if the Clergyman was to be thus taken
away from his being of right and presidency the
head of the parish? This would be to deprive him
of those functions from which all regular ity and or-
der must flow. He was the settled and stationary
President on all such occasions; from the very term
Rector, he was the Governor and Director of the
Parish, contreulling all matters transacted by the pa-
rishioners. The Learned Advocate cited Fortescue,
Burn, and Prideaux, in support of this doctrine, and
observed, that consulting his authority, character,
and dignity, unless the Clergyman was, as a matter
of course, to sit as President, the result would be, he
would withdraw himself altogether from attending
such meetings..
Dr. JESSE ADAMS followed on the same side.
Sir JOll N NI MOLL observed, as this was a question
of very general importance, he should take time to
deliberate before giving jqgment. The question
appeared to have been brought here merely for the
purpose of trying the right, and he hoped it world
continue td be conducted in am amicable manner. He
should give his decision it the course of neat Term.
