COURT OF CHANcFRY, MAY R.

MITENIPT oC COVIITCLANDIDITINi
StrAw applied to the Lord Chancellor;in the
matter of 'Mr. Lockett, a young gentleman VO years
of age, eehr4.atitcejTilatt beeietelertedztoahe [aster
to judge Ytf. a.pr:,per setthonent, had committed •
Contempt of CIAIrI, by havingeype4 with and clan.
dealt tiely married Miss Elwin dr,--a- ward ill Chancery,
v hitst his proposal was udder- the consideration of
Mr. Stephen, the WWII. The young lady in this
case watof the age 19, and the parties had beenin
long habits of iiiiirracy. The. Lither of Mr. Lockett
was represttred to the Muter is a respectable attor-
n,,y at BACI, tieing also a person of consi.tcrable pro-
perty, The young lady is .entitled to 5E3900,
vested in die Funds. The tontgeition of the Master
was, that the marriage was no xcepsitmable, provided
Mr. Lockett's father would make a settlement upon
his son till the 1 aly became of age. This the young
grarthintan agreed to apply for to his lather,. Whose
he had too el. Übe ot obtain:llk No comma,.
Dk4tion of the result of this proposed -settlement of
tit lather was mad.: to the Master, whilst in the in-
terior the marriage to k place, in tt.e Parish Church
of St. Maryd.olionue, on the Zlah of last month: It
was stated, that neither the guardians of the lady nor
the friend} of either parry had objections to the mar-
riage, provided the terms proposed by the Master
were compled with. •.
S r AKTIlun Ptoorr ob.erved, that the ye-swig gen-
tleman was now iii Court, ready to abide his Lord-
ship's pleasure it he were: to committed. He had
this to offer as denying etinteppt of Court—lie was
ready to make affidavit, that having applied to his
father, his lather, though :approving the marriage,
had refused his assent to the terms proposed by the
Master. The party, however, having no sordid mo-
tive for marrying the lady, and there being an equal
affection on her part,' he was willing that the whole
of her property should be made over by a settlement
on her for life. _ _ _

The LORD CHANCRLLOR said, there was no doubt
of the contempt in this case. The matter being on
reference to the Master, this clandestine marriage
takes place without the Master's consent. The repre-
sentation was, that the father was a man of fortune ;
and that his consent would be procured to make a
witable provision for h m (the sin,) being what the
Master required. It was impossible to say that this
marriage was not a wilful Contempt of the Court;
and unless, as stated, the young man had not such
sortiii motives as made these cases of Contempt ex-
trenr.iy odious, his Lordship would not pass over
"this mart iage even upon fulfilling the terms proposed.
Not having the. accession of the father tothe Master's
proposal, being then under reference to the Master,
he marries a ward of Court. His Lordship observed
—6. I am bound to commit this gentleman, and can-
not help ii."
CUPKT OF KING'S WENCH, itAY 5.

THE KING v. J:)IIt4DbiIETT AND HANBAB BOYD.

We mentioned this Indictment for a libel on this
day week, when the Defendants were brought up to
receive the sentence of the Court for a libel upon a
Gentleman residing in Montague-square. Several
Affidavits were then put in by the Defendants, relic-,
rating the libellous matter for which they were pro-
secuted, and on the application of the ATToRNET-'
GENERAL, time was given for the other side to reply
to them ; the charge contained in the libel was of the
foulest nature, imputing to the Prosecutor criminal
intentionr towards the defendant, Hannah Boyd,
when she was only twelve years old, more than 171
years ago; and accusing the Pcosecator's wife, who
is Hannah Boyd's sister, with aiding him in Such
nefarious pursuit. It is impossible to enter into.the
particulars of this most disgusting case. The Affi-
davits to-day prt>citiced in answer, most directly and
titistactorily refuted every imputation, in every way
that they were capable of accreting a reply. It was
alsostated, that Hannah Boyd had been instigated
to this offence by the other Defendant, John Mushett,
(who had been a strolling player, and with whom.
she lived in a state of prostitution), for the pUrpose
of extorting money. They were both found guilty
*few pats ago of a Violent assault upon the Prose-
cticor's wife, which formed a tart of . the system of
threat and extortion which they had long been put-
Shing. •
Mr. Gunner addresfed the Court on behalf of the
prOiecutibri;inforcitig principally the necessity of se-
parating the Defendants, that their machination:
against the peace of a most respectable family :night
at least be impeded, it the sentence of the Court could
not entirely put a stop to the determined malignity
with which it had been pursued.
Mr. Jostice &mire then proceeded to pass the sen-
tence, which was, that John Mushett should be im-
prisoned in Newgate, and Hannah Boyd in the House,
cf Correction for Middlesex, for two years ; and that
at the expiration of their confinement, they should'
give security for good behaviour, themselves in se2oo
each, and two sureties in £lOO.
The defendant Hannah Boyd still persisted in say-
ing that what she had sworn was strictly ate., She
trines:est a hope, after the sentence was pronottnted,
that their Lordships would not separate her from the
fattier of a child she was then suckling. -
CANDLE-MTV= AND DERE-LIGUTER TO Till YEOMEN
OF THE GUARD.

A few days ago Mr. Pusan moved for a rule to
shew cause why a person bolding the office of Candle
snuffer and Fire-lighter to the Yeomen of the Guard,
arrested for debt, should not be discharged oat of
custody, on the ground that he was protected as a
Royal servant. The Court refused the application,
al the affidavits were not sufficiently explicit upon the
point whether tita office was a mere sinecure, or whe-
ther the' person bolding it bad ever executed it in
person? , •
Mr. MAMMA? now produced • an additional a -
davit, in which it was sworn,- that this person was
servant to the King, aid not, tO• the Yeomen of the
Guards that be was *worn into his place, and that he
held it under a warrant front:die Lord Chamberlain.
Court.thereforeltranted. a tole to :hew cause.
Till !qr'b, fit. JOHN MICK&
Thu defendant wairbrought up for judlintent,
4pon s conviction sistUji* Absiaes for the County
of Cousin% ror obtslo,lng money, under false pre.
IrOnisiveral fiih-errers, by pretending that
tiesuuts so procured time due to the Revenue as
duty upon salt. The defendant had been employed
in the Ewen for a considerable lime, and had gone

to the prestentors, who were dry-salters, and pro•
etred from each of them 20s. alleging that it was
duty due upon the salt which they had used in their
business, whereas, in point of fact, no such duty was
demandable. The defendant employed no Counsel,
but observed that he had a wife and five Children,
and hoped for mercy.
- The COURT, after commenting upon tic peculiarly
dishonest conduct of the defendant, being employed
in the Eaeibe, and one to whom the public oaght to
'tick for prOtection, sentenced him to be transported
to parts beyond the seas for the term of sever. years.
