LAW INTELLIGENCE

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 6.
TIIB HON. NEWTON FELLOWV V. TILE EARL OF PORTS
dOUTH, AND JOHN HANSON, ESQ. ONE OF THE
TRUSTEES OP IHE PORTSMOUTH ESTATES.
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—" I have read the papers
in this case, and it is my intention to draw up a spe-
cial order and hand it to the Bar ; and if they have
any observations to make on it I will hear them. On
looking into the defendant Hanson's answer, the trust
deed must be considered valid until set aside by a
decree. If Lord Portsmouth thought' proper to com-
mit himself and property by executing this trust deed,
it is the duty of the Court to enforce its being carried
into effect by the trustees. It strikes me that I must
call on Lord Grantley, and Mr. Justice Best, if he is
a trustee, to put in their answers forthwith to the bill
of Lord Portsmouth, and the defendant Hanson shall
forthwith deliver his account against Lord Ports-
mouth to the other trustees, and I shall take care
that the trustees shall only act as such, and that by
_communicating together, and if they act without so
communicating, it must be at their peril. I will hand
in my order to the Bar in the course of a day or two."

pills, which, having no effect, I then gave her half an
ounce of Epsom salts ; but, on the Wednesday, she
was in such a dangerous state, that r sent for
Seagrim, and Mr. Ives, the apothecary ; they arrived
on Thursday, June 7. Before the deceased received the
blow she was perfectlywell,better than she had been for
some years; she was naturally a weakly woman, and
of a bilious nature, frequently sick in the morning ;
she Rad been better in health for several months than
usual, so much so, that she spared har two daughters;
who usually assisted in the house, to go on a visit,
and they had been gone a week.—On the witness's
cross-examination, he admitted the prisoner might
have been half drunk when the blow was struck.
Mr. John Ives, the apothecary, was then examined ;
and he stated, that on the 7th of June, in company
with Dr. Seagrim, he attended the deceased, whom
he found extremely ill ; they considered her to be la-
bouring under inflammation in the peripaneum, the
covering of the bowels; the inflammation was exces-
sively high, the pulse quick and high, accompanied by
A constant vomiting and constipation of the bowels;
there was a tumour on the left side of the bowels the
size of a common tea-saucer. Ile could not take upon
himself to swear that the blow given her on the neck
produced the swelling on the abdomen directly ; it
might be, however, a translation of the disease from
the neck to that part. He examined her neck, but
could not perceive any inflammation. Witness con-
ceived that the disease of which the deceased died,

might be induced by the terror which she felt upon
receiving the blow, rather than from the blow itself.
Dr. Seagrim corroborated this statement, adding,
that the inflammation lined the stomach and affected
the membrane of the liver ; he felt it impossible to say
that the blow was the direct cause of her death, but
if the disease was previously existing, there could be
no doubt but the blow would aggravate the complaint.
Mr. Henry Coates, a surgeon of great skill, and
23 years practice, residing at Salisbury, was then
called for the risoner. He stated that he had heard
the evidence, and was of opinion that a blow similar
to that which had been described, certainly would
not produce the death of any person.
The Jury directly returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
ctir.t.msrOttn, AUGUST 7.

The Summer Assizes for this County commenced
here to-day, before the 1-lon Mr. Baron Wool), in
,the Crown Court, and the lion. Mr. Justice BIM-
nouGH, in the Civil Court. In the former Court the
Calendar contains 58 cases only; and in the latter,
the entry of causes amounts to but 16, a number
infinitely less than has been known for many years
at the Assizes fur this County.

CIVIL mar_
CARROLL v NELSON AND ANOTHER.

This was an action on the case against the de-
fendants, who are proprietors of " The Times" light
coach from Colchester to London, for the negligent
driving of their servant, whereby the coach was up-
set, and the plaintiff, an outside passenger, had one
of his legs broken, and t're ancle of the same leg
' dislocated. A case of grins negligence was opened
on the part of the plaintiff, but the facts proved were
these :—The plaintiff, who is a carpenter by business,
residing at Bethnal-green, had taken an outside place
on " 7he Times" coach, on the 29th of December
last at Colchester, for the purpose of coming to
London. The coach came with safety as far as II-

ford, at its usual rate of nine mires an hour, including
stoppages. In coming down the hill at the Clock-
house, at Ilford, the near leader started, and all the
horses set off at a furious rate. The coachman gave
his whip to the passenger on the box, and with both
hands tried with all his vigour to pull in the horses ;
but iu the effort the coach was upset in the foot-path
with a tremendous .crash. The plaintiff, in endea-
vouring to save himself from harm, jumped off the
roof, and sustained the damage stated in thedecla-
ration. With assistance he was conveyed,to a neigh-
bouring house. and afterwards cart led in a post-
chaise to his lodgings at Iletlinal-green. For seven
weeks be was confined to his bed ;- and at the expira-
tion of that time he was removed, for the benefit of
count! y air, to Ilford, where lie resided until very
lately. his surgeon's bill amounted to £53. His
expenses for nursing, &c. incident to his misfortune,
came to 4.:67. Ht was stated to be a young man
of 25 years of age, to have lost the use of his limb,
and likely to be a cripple for life.
On the part of the defendants, it was proved that
their coachman, named Gobbold, was a careful,
steady, and attentive man; that no similar accident
had ever happened to the coach during a great num-
ber of years of its travelling that road; that on the
day in question, in coming down Ilford bill, one of
the horses took flight at a heap of ashes, which had
been collected on the snow which Own covered, the
footpath, and also in consequence of the splendour of
the sun shining upon some frozen water in the middle
of the road ; that the coachman did everything a
man could do under such circumstances to prevent
accident, but the horses became unmanageable,
broke their traces, and ran back the road whereof
they came several miles, leaving the coach behind,
which in the shock was upset : that the accident
sustained by the plaintiff arose in a great measure
from his own imprudence in jumping off the coach
in its fall, instead of keeping his place as the other
passengers did, who sustained no damage whatever.
It was stated on the behalf of the defendants, that
they had offered a liberal compensation to the plain-
tiff, in consideration of his moderate circumstances,
but without prejudice to the question of their legal
liability, it being contended that though they were
answerable for the carelessness and negligence of
their servant, or for any accident in default of pro-
viding a safe Conveyance, they were not liable for
the casualty that occasioned the injury which hap-
pened to the plaintiff.
A negociation took'place between the Counsel on
both sides, before •the defendant's case was closed;
and, under the circumstances preyed, it was agreed
to withdraw a juror, by which the result is, that
each party pays his own costs.

SEAMAN V. CORDER.

This was an action by the endorsee against the ac-
ceptor of a bill of exchange for £156, drawn by on
Mayhew.
The defence set up on the part of the defendant
was, that he had been completely swindled out of
the acceptance with which he was now attempted to
be charged.
Mr. Guaway said, he would be nonsuited, and his
client was nonsuited accordingly.

HATTON-GARDEN.-- A NOVEL CASE OF CHILD
STEALlNG.—Yesterday information was given at this
Office by Mrs. Hurril, wife of a boot and shoemaker,
in Goodge•street, Mary-la-bonne, respecting two of
her children, the eldest a boy, aged thirteen, and the,
youngest a girl, aged eleven, who had .been stolen,
or, to speak more correctly, seduced from her. It
appeared from her statement, that in March last a
person, who gave his name as the Rev. Mr. Probus,
and represented himself to be a Minister of the Esta-
blished Church, applied at an Echo Office in Oxford-
street, for a smart boy to wait on a young gentleman
at a genteel boarding-school, and this application
was answered by Mrs. Hurril on behalf of her son.

The soi-disamt Reverend Gentleman affected to be

extremely scrupulous in obtaining a testimonial of
the boy's character. His scruples, however, were ef-
fectually removed, and the boy surrendered to his
protection, under the most flattering appeirances, to
the eye of the mother, of an eligible situation. At
the termination of this arrangement he ascertained
that the boy had a sister, an engaging child ; and by
similar specious representations he induced the mother
also to surrender her to his protection. He left town
with the children under his care, and in a few days
the mother received a letter from him, dated York,

and signed by a different name from that under
which he was intrusted with the charge of her chil-
dren, from which she ascertained that her boy and
girl were performing on a public stage in that city.
Both parents were extremely alarmed at this disco
very, and a letter was immediately sent to reclaim
them, as they objected to that profession for their
children. An answer was returned, stating in sub-
stance that his engagements would not allow him to
write oftener than once a month ; that her children
were doing very well, and had no reason to com-
plain; requesting her not to make herself uneasy
about them, as they were soon to be in London, never
to leave it again. He represented that the boy was
getting on well, and would make a good singer in
time ; that the girl was wonderfully improved ; but
he did not mention a word about their restoration.—
Shortly after (in the beginning of May) Mrs. Hurril
received a third letter from I lull, in the hand-writing
of the person who had seduced her children, but
signed by the children themselves, in which they in-
formed her of their performances in public, and of
the great profits which they obtained by them. The
letter enclosed a paragraph cut out of the Hull
paper, likewise a copy of the bill of performance, to
chew the progress which they were making, con-
chiding by saying that they had changed their names
to Jameson. The paragraph above alluded to is
as follows :
" There is now performing at the Mutic Ihll, Albion-street,
in this town, a Miss Jameson, only nine years of age, a most
beautiful and interesting child. In dancing she is, for her age,
unrivalled, and her singing is admirably. Mr. Jameson's slight
of hand performance gives the greatest satisfaction, and Master
Jameson, as a singer, though only thirteen years old, is a second
Eraham. Mr. Jameson, and his interesting young family, will
perform in Leeds this present Saturday evening, and on Mon-
day and Tuesday next, when they will quit Leeds forWaktfield."
The bill of performance was under the patronage of
the Royal Family, at the Freemasons' Hall, Mylon-
gate, Hull, in which he stated himself to be Mr.
Jameson, the celebrated juggler, pupil of the re-
nowned Indian jugglers, and Miss Jameson, only
nine years of age, from the Opera House, the most
elegant dancer in England. The first part was to
consist of legerdemain tricks by Mr. Jameson ; the
second part consisted of singing and dancing, viz.—
the comic song of Polly Parker, in character; the
Ladies' Homptpe; the comic song of Nobody coming
to Marry me, a Scotch Pas Seul, and Little Sally,
were to be enacted by Miss Jameson. The Fashions
of London, in character, and the Nightingale Club,
by Mr. Jameson. Scots wha ha'e tve Wallace bled;
The trumpet sounds a victory; When the rose bud, &c.
Love among the roses, by the boy, Master Jameson ;
and to conclude with Alts Well, by Mr. and Master
Jameson. The price of admission was Is. 6d. Mr.
and Mrs. Hurril wrote twice on receipt of the above
letter, requesting to have their children, but received
no answer; they consequently became very uneasy,
fearful that they might be carried out of the coun-
try. Having pledged every article they had to raise
money for his travelling expenses, Mr. Hurril set off
on the Ist of July from London, in quest of the fugi-
tive and his children. Ile first went to York, where
he learnt that the person above alluded to bad passed
by the name of the Rev. F. Williams, had given it
out that lie had buried his wife about four years, and
that he was left with the two children, without means
of support. On the strength of this tale, and by
means of advertisements and petitions, he levied a
large contribution on the Public. Shortly after the
fellow absconded, having defrauded the shopkeepers
to a great amount. From Yolk, Mr. Hurril traced
them to Leeds, Wakefield, Hull, and Stamford, where
he assumed the name of Jameson, and performed his
slight of hand tricks as above stated. From thence
they were traced to Coventry and Leicester, where
he assumed the name of Monro ltidgway, and where
lie also exhibited in the same line. Mr. Hurril then
proceeded to Doncaster, Birmingham, and various
other towns; in all of which the fellow assumed dif-
ferent names and characters, viz. doctor, half-pay
officer, clergyman, &c. defrauding every one. The
anxious parent, after spending a month in search of
him from town to town, but without success, and-his
finances being exhausted, returned home, where he
arrived at an early hour on Thursday morning. The
purport of Mrs. Hurril's application to the Magis-
trates; was for their advice how to regain her lost
children.—The Magistrates expressed a wish that the
Reporter would give this distressing case all publi-
city, in expectation that it would meet the eye of
some humane person, who might rescue the children
from destruction. They expressed their regret that
they could not render her any service, having no clue
to find the fugitive. Mrs. Hurril left the Office in tears.
GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday, James Turvey, aged 17,
was brought up; when N. Goddard, shopman to Mr.
Savory, jeweller, in Cheapside, and a Member of the
Society of Friends, stated, that the prisoner came to
the shop on Monday, and asked for six4able- spoons
and a soup-ladle. Mr. Savory inquired From whom

for them. Tnrvey admitted that he had given a £5

note in payment, and proposed to Mr. Savory to go
with him to Newington-green, where, if the note wa.l
a forgery, Mr. Jenks would give another for it. Mr.
Savory then questioned him as to the manner in which
he intended to pay for the spoons he had come to pur-
chase and Turvey produced a £lo note. Mr. Savory
took the note, saying, he would keep it till he should
get a good note for the one he had taken, and gave it
to the witness to take it to his banker, by whont it was
declared to be a forgery. The witness inconsequence
'brought an officer, who took the prisoner into ens.
Cody. Mr. Christmas, Bank Inspenor, proved that
both notes were forgeries. The prisoner told the fol..
' lowing story :—I was (said he) going along Coleman.
street, ou Saturday afternoon, when a Gentleman
came up to me, and asked if I would go for him to
Mr. Savory's, for a dozen of silver spoons, and he
.would pay me for my trouble. lie then gave me a
£5 note, and desired me to state I came from 3fr.
Jenks, of Newington-green. This I accordingly did,
and then returned to him in Coleman-street, hi in,e;iug
the spoons and 18s. change. Ile did not give me any
thing for my trouble, but promised, that if I would
meet him at the same place on Monday, he woulli
make me a handsome present. On Monday I ac-'
cordingly went, and found the Gentleman wai:iag ;
he again sent me to Mr. Savory's with a ten-pouasl
note, desiring me to buy half a dozen of spoons and
a soup•ladle, when I was taken into custody.--The
father of the prisoner, who is a decent artisan, star
that his son lived with him, and was most industci•
ous.—He was remanded.

MA RY-L A-BONNE OFFlCE.—YeStcrday Jam.:s
butler to Mrs. Collins, of Manchester—quare, a,
tended to prefer an information against Mr. ifccrks
a coal-merchant, in the city. The conviainant stated
that Mr. Acocks, being applied to for six clialdit:.
of coals for Mrs. Collins, commenced deliver ilig the .
•on Monday. The desired quantity was all delivere.:
into the cellar, with the exception of one witi,,goalead
(the last) two sacks of which were shot in separe.t
places in the area, when the applicant having Imo;
to suspect that the coals were short of -the me:talle
repaired to the street in order to prevent any rao;t
being taken in, and was met by one of the me;, ca.
rying a sack down the area-stairs, which he instant:
had tried by the waggoner's own measui e, and t herell
discovered, that instead of three bushels, it con-
tained only two bushels and about a peck. He C.ll-
- prevented any further delivery ; and ‘‘ low
to Mr. Acocks, requesting him to attend at an ai..
pointed hour that evening, as it was determined tt
have the coals legally measured; he also wrote to the
Land Coal Meter's Office, desiring the attendance of
a Meter, who measured the coals ; but Mr. Ac: lts
did not come.—Mr. Taylor, ln,pector at the Lane
Meter's Office, deposed that he attended at the afore-
said house. There was a waggon standing at di,
door, containing fourteen sacks cf coals ; i.e was ie.!
to the area, where he fou:id two parcels of c.,als,
which he was informed by the bt;tkr were the col.
tents of two sacks ; he measured them, and fetl,
they were deficient two bushels; the fourteen sacks.
which were in the waggon, were also measured, an,
were deficient in the whole ten bushel..; those wide:
had been shot into the cellar, were tried in a like
manner, and their gross deficiency, added to the ter
mer, amounted to forty-seven bushels on the six dial
dron. Mr.GrtiFrerns said, the Act of Parliament re
quired that the purchaser should have the coals mea
surcd before more than one sack was delivered,wiiith
was not done with the first quantity; but at ;try rate
an information might be laid for the fo irteen sack,
which had been measured separately. Tnis the com-
plainant expressed his determination to do.

Monday morning, a multitude of persons assemble, 1
in Go:swell-street, to witness the punishment of a fei
low, named Edward Bagster,. who had been cony ic(e..
of various felonies, and was sentenced to three months,
imprisonment, and to be publicly whipped. Soon
after twelve o'clock the prisoner arrived from the

House of Correction, in a coach, and having been
made fast to the tail of a cart, he was whipped from
the end of Noble-street to the sign of the Man in th,
Moon, a distance of 100 yards. He appeared very
indifferent about it. After the punishment was in•
flitted, a most formidable gang of ruffians armed
themselves with stones, brickbats, &c. and repairing
to the house of Mr. Oliver, in Noble-street, who wa,
the principal prosecutor of Bagster, they commenced
a most violent attack upon the house : stones were
flying in every direction, to the great danger of the
passengers. Mrs. Oliver was struck on the head with
a large flint stone, which felled her to.the ground.—
Mr. Oliver with great difficulty escaped with his Hie.
He at length succeeded in shutting his shop, but the
street was blocked up by the rioters till aLottt eight
o'clock in the evening, when a party of the Bow-select
patrol arrived, and after some time suppressed the
tumult. Several of the ringleaders were secured.
