COURT OP CHANCERY, AUGUST 10.

CLASbOII, Itl6tIST 8.

Thursday last the foundation4tone of the Glasgow 1
Asylum for Lunatics, was laid by the Hon. the
LORD PROVOST, acting. Provincial Grand Master for
the Lower Ward of Lanarkshire, in presence of the
Magistrates, public bodies, mason lodges, and con—
tributors to the institution.

At twelve o'clock at noon' the several parties ts-
sembled in St. George's Church, when the Rev. Dr.
M4Gul., one of the ministers of this city, delivered a
MOSt suitable discourse, from Si Corinthians, Bth
chapter, 11th verse, Now, therefore, perform the
doing of it, that as there was a readiness to will, so
there may be a perforinance also out of that which
you have."

Immediately after divine service was concluded,
the procession moved to the place where the stone
was to be laid, in grand masonic order.
The foundation-stone was then laid with custo-
mary solemnities, after which the LORD Priovorr ad-
dressed the Magistrates, public bodies, and masons, in
a most impressive speech, to which Mr. M'NAut,
Treasurer to the Lunatic Asylum, made an excellent
reply.
The procession was guarded by a detachment of
700 men from the 71st, or Glasgow Regiment, and
the Argyleshire Militia. The staff and band of the
6th Regiment of Lanarkshire Local Militia, formerly
the Trades House Regiment of Volunteer Infantry
(upwards of 80 persons) handsomely volunteered to
assist in guarding the Trades House. The propi-
tiousness of the day added greatly to the splendour of
the occasion ; and the procession, which consisted of
more than 2000 persons, and 240 musicians, was con-
ducted in a most orderly manner.
Although the concourse of spectators was uncom
monly great, yet, from the deep interest which all
ranks took in this institution, we are happy to state
no accident occurred. The collection upon this occa-
sion amounted to £163. 2s.

STORM.—Sunday afternoon, there was at Glasgow
a great deal of thunder and lightning, accompanied
by excessive heavy rain. About a quarter past four,
the lightning struck the top of Lord Nelson's monu-
ment, and we regret to say, that it has most materially
injured that elegant structure. On the north side,
the column is torn open for more than 20 feet from
the top, and several of the stones have been thrown
down. On the west side, the effects of the destruc-
tive fluid are visible in more than one place ; and on
the south side there is a rent in the column as far
down as the head of the pedestal. A number of the
stones are hanging in such a threatening posture,
that a military guard has been placed around the mo-
nument to keep at a distance the thoughtless or too
daring spectators. Same day, while the Physicians
were going their rounds in the Royal Infirmary, there
was a violent thunder-clap, without any perceptible
interval between the flash and the stroke, which
seemed to shake the Infirmary. All the chimnies
were affected, but particularly the western. The
lowest of the women's wards where the writer of this
was, exhibited a very awful appearance. ')wring
four or six seconds, all the flame was suddenly driven
into the ward with a rustling noise, together with a
dense column of soot and smoke, which instantly
filled the ward. Fortunately no person was hurt ;
but the patients screamed aloud, and such as could
rise ran from their beds. Similar appearances,
though in different degrees, took place through the
whole house, which seems to have been enveloped in
a thunder cloud, and which probably may have owed
its preservation to the quantity of rain flowing from
its roof.

The lightning, a little past four o'clock, also struck
a house of three stories high in Rotten-row-street. In
the upper floor a window was shivered to pieces ; in
the second floor, a kettle, which was on the fire, had

JOHN MOORS AND OTHERS V. THOMAS BERRY.

Mr. TOLER moved for an injunction to prevent the
Defendant from removing an organ out of a chapei
in Coventry. He stated that the Plaintiffs, who
were ten in number, were part of the congregation
that had instituted and caused to be erected a chapel
in Coventry, for the purpose of exercising the dut
of their religion. They were of the sect called Pro-
testant Die:ewers of the Independent Denomination. The
Defendant was also one of the congregation. In
September 1797, they subscribed for an organ, which
was put up in the Chapel in October 1808; the De-
fendant sacrilegiously removed it to his own house,
where he kept it in despite of the Plaintiffs and the
other subscribers. The congregation having become
accustomed to the sweet tones of the organ, they
could not abide the chapel after its loss, and it be-
came nearly deserted. This organ, that was to have
produced harmony, disorganized the whole society.
In January, 1809, the Defendant was served by the
Plaintiffs with a regular notice to return the organ,
which he did not comply with ; and in the May fol-
lowing the Plaintiffs filed their present bill for its re.
storation. The Defendant had put in his answer,
admitting the chief allegations in the bill, and setting
forth that the organ was restored to its original place
in November 1809. The Learned Counsel said, his
application was merely that his Lordship should di.
rect an injunction to prevent the Defendant from
again disturbing the organ until the cause was heard
and decided upon.
Mr. SPRANGER, Counsel for the Defendant, said,
the Defendant in his answer admitted, that he had
taken the organ from the chapel, but it was by the
desire of the majority of the Trustees. When it was
purchased by the subscribers it was a second-hand,
one, and only cost £37. It was only put up for show,
for not one of the congregation ever heard it sound ;
for when it was agreed that an organ should be
bought, it was never considered that an organist
would be necessary ; and, in fact, there never had
been one employed. The only persons amused were
the boys of the neighbourhood, who used to divert.
themselves on the Sabbath evening by blowing the bel-
low:. It got also injured by the damp of the chapel,
and the majority of the Trustees requested that the
Defendant would take it home and have it repaired.
The organ had been since restored, but even if it had
not the Plaintiffs might have brought their action at
law, *and have recovered from the Defendant, with-
out incurring the expence of a suit in Equity. It
was not an ornament, or a piece of church furniture,
that could not be replaced ; if it was, they might
have been excusable in going to such extremities. It
cost the subscribers, of whom the Plaintiffs were only
a minor part, sC37 at first ; and if necessary, a similar
one could at this day be procured for half the money.
Under these considerations, he felt assured his Lord-
ship would not grant the injunction.
Mr. TOLER, in reply, contended, that it was not
the value of the organ that ought to be considered,
but the feelings of the Plaintiffs who comelained ;
they thought their religion insulted, by part of the
ornament of the chapel- being removed without their
assent ; there was nothing that men of certain tenets
were more scrupulous of preserving, than those
rights which appertain to their church. He (the
Learned Counsel) wished from his heart the bill
had never been filed, but it was done before he had
any knowledge of the case : as to the present mo-
tion, he was of opinion that it never should be made
—but the feelings of his clients pressed them on ;
and, although contrary to his inclination, his profes-i
sional duty made it his duty to urge every thing in its
support.
Lord ELDO2.7" It is most abominable that such
a case should be brought into this Court ; such a suit
is enough to ruin the whole congregation, and bring
the conventicle down upon their heads ; and all about
an instrument that they did not know the use of, for
they never thought an organist was necessary. I can-
not in my conscience grant an injunction ; the organ
has been returned, and I will venture to assert the de-
fendant has experienced enough of a Chancery suit
to prevent him from removing it again. I will leave
this open for my decision until next seal-day : at the
same time that I wish the defendant to understand

its spout melted off ; in the ground floor, several chil-
dren and their mother were sitting at the fire ; the
children's hair was much singed, and the mother was
thrown a considerable distance; a hole about an inch
diameter was made through the bottom of an oil
lamp which was standing on the chimney-piece ; the
electric matter then went through a stone wall about
nine inches thick, and struck a tin flaggon on the op-
posite side of the room.

It is worthy of remark, that about fifty years ago
the high steeple of our venerable .Cathedral was like-
wise struck by lightning, and received an alarming
fracture near the top. An eminent Architect was
brought from a distance by the-Magistrates, to con-
sult what was necessary to be done to save that fine
building from what was conceived impending de-
struction. His advice, as the only safe method, was,
to drive off the shattered parts by firing cannon balls
at them. This proposal was not adopted ; and Mr.
Mungo Naismith, then Town's Mason, who had just
finished St. Andrew's Church, undertook to repair the
fractured steeple ; which he did, without any accident,
in a sufficient planner, and which, till this moment,
appears to be as firm as any part of the building.

that my advice is, thit he should not again remove it.
But if all parties were to be advised by me, they
would shake hands, and get out of this Court as fast
as possible."—lnjunction refused.

MATRIMONY•YARABITII V. LONGMAN.

Sir SAMURL ROMILLY requested the indulgence of
his Lordship, to make an application. Although it
was out of course, he trusted the anxiety of the par-
ties would be his excuse. He made it on behalf of
Sir Hugh O'Reilly and his son. The latter was in a
treaty of marriage with the plaintiff, a young Lady,
a ward of his Lordship's ; all her friends approved of
the match, and prayed that his Lordship would di-
rect one of the Masters to inquire into it, and report
to his Lordship.
Lord ELnox—" It is a very justifiable anxiety,
and a perfect apology for the motion's intruding itself
out of its proper course. Let it be referred to the
Master."

There was a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and
hail, at Penrith, on Saturday last. Considerable da-
mage was done by the lightning : a barn, containing
ten cart-loads of hay, belonging to Mr. Martindale,
of Gutter-lane ; and a stack, the property of Sir F. F.
Vane, at Hutton Hall, were both set on fire and en-
tirely consumed. A horse and five lambs were killed
in a field near Penrith.—Several of the hail-stones
measured two inches in circumference.

Receiver over an estate inAtetige4, of whi:h the de.

application on the ground of improve* nl•na...ment
on the part of the person in Antigua, acting for the

taloa, the work of which it waa his duty to h tve
done at the least possible expence, and of prnerivor
of the negroes, who were to do that weak, and for
whose labour, it was his interest to procure VT b..st
possible price. In addition to all these circumstintes
the manager in Antigua had not given in his acceurv.s
since the year MOO, and the affidavits for the plaintiff
went to charge that by proper management the
whole debt due to the defendant oug:lt to have been
paid, whereas, by the present management, both the
plaintiff, who was the second mortgagee, and even
the defendant himself, though in possession, were in
danger of losing their debts. This application had
lain over for some time, to enable Mr. Burton to
make an affidavit as to the balance actually dice to
the defendant. This affidavit he had now filed, and
it bore, that to the best of his knowledge and belief,
from all that he had been able to see of the accounts,
there was a balance due to the defendant at March
last, of £12,498. To this affidavit the Counsel for
the plaintiff objected, that it was not satisfactory, as it
proceeded on the showing of the very accounts, 4ich
the plaintiff complained of as being incorrect,
Mr. Burton had, in his affidavit, carefully avoided
taking any burden on his conscience as to what was
the actual state of accounts between the estate and
the defendant.
For the defendant it was contended that the affida-
vit of Mr. Barton was quite satisfactory.; gad it was
an established rule of that Court, that no Receiver
could be let in oa a Mortgagee in possession, where
it could not be shewn that he was akeady•fully paid,
or unless where a tender of the sum due to him was
made.

The LORDCthummoit laid it down that a Re-
ceiver could not be let in on a Mortgagee in psses-
sion, whose claim was not fully satkhed, provided
the Mortgagee or his Manager regularly gave in
their accounts. Where this was not the case, ho N-
ever, the Court had a right to interfere. There were
particular features in this case which could not enter
into his Lordship's consideration. It was not for him
to judge of the delicacy of a Chief Justice in becoming
the manager of an estate of the kind ; or of the deli.
cacy of his employing his own negroes in the cultiva-
tion of it. There were circumstances which might

cause particular items of the accounts to be niare
strictly looked into; but they coulthave no effect an
his present judgment. All he had now to look to
went to these points ; had the accounts been duly ren.
dered, and, wAs the affidavit due to the defendant

ration imputing to the defendant, that he had said of
the plaintiff that he " had robbed hiM e a fish, and
fifty pound note, which had been sent by his coach to
him in a basket; that he never got the fish again,
but that after some days, though hellid not get the
identical note again, yet he got 45Ciin notes of dif-
ferent descriptions." To prove this, three witnesses
were called, who, in substance, stated, that a conver-
sation took place at a public-house respecting a new
Rickmansworth coach which was about to be set up.
Upon this the defendant observed, that they would
now probably get theft' parcels safely delivered. He
then went on to add, that a basket had been sent him
from town, containing a salmon and a 8,50 note,
.which never arrived ; that he was about to have ar-
rested the ;lan who had sent him the money, 4.it on
enquiry he found it had Len sent by the Plaintiff's
coach. He immediately applied to the phintiff re-
specting the fish and the note, who at first denied
that he had received any such parcel, but at last ad-
mitted that there was a fish which had- been lying
about the coach office, and which kid either teen
thrown on the dunghill, or eaten by the servants.—
At last, however, he went to the bureau in the room,
and took out a parcel of notes, which he threw at the
defendant, telling him there was £5O, and he was
lucky in getting it. None of the witnesses, however,
proved his precise words as laid in the declaration—
the plaintiff was therefore non-suited.
