be distributed amongst them. Evidence of pedigree,

indiViduals-living in the Pays•bas. Their dePositiOns
were authenticated by Notaries Public and other officers,'

RDWINSAYSTON SANDYS,AND LADY SA NDYSIIIIB MFR.

This was an application for the commitment of the'
defendants, for an alleged contempt of Court in dis-
obeying an injunction obtained in November, 1822, re
•straining Ahem from cutting down timber in Misserton
Park, in the county of- Gloucester. The plaintiffs ob-
tained the injunction,' which was regularly served on
Sir. Edwin B. Sandy:, who was then, and now continues
to be, residing within the rules of the King's Bench, but
as to Lady Sandys, no personal set vice was made. The
plaintiffs are executors of Mr. Ewes, who had a mort-
gage on the e.tate, and obtained the injunction to re-
strain the defendants from cutting down timber and
committing other waste on the property. It was new
said that the defendants had discbeyed this order, and
affid .viu were read in support of the present application;
ph. behalf of the defendants, the SOLICITOR GaNERAL
said that it Was extremely hard to have such an applica-
-tioninide, as there was no pretence for saying that the
injunction had been violated. He then handed up the
affidavit of Lady -Sandys' to his Honour, who, having
perused it, decided chat the application must be refused
vritti costs,. Lady Sandys having denied that any timber
had been an down since the order of the Court in 1822
jutted. She had, however, admitted the service of the
injunction:

SECOND PAPER DELIVERED IN WY MR. PORSTER.

INFANTS' COURT.

There were in some of the North American Colonies
. tefore the Relsellion, and there arc probably to this day,
in several of the United States, Courts for the protection.
of the properties of infants,denominated Orphans' Courts,
in which the guardians and others having the possession
of management of such properties were compellable in'
a summary way (by mere summons or order) to accoutre
for them, and to pay into Court all monies in or from,
.tiene.to time coming to their hands. The accounts were
delivered and passed in the common form of receivers'
accounts, op oath, without delay, and such as were
managers of landed property were held to the regul irly
passing their accounts, and payment of their balances,
at stated periods, and all matters respecting the infants.'
concern; were regulated and decideu.
Hy this institution the properties of the infants were
restive, ; each ittfant's account being regularly kept,
and the amount in readiness for payment cn the attain-
ment of the majority of the malr, or marriage of the
female ir-satr. The expense was so trifl ig, that it was
.so burthott on very tri;tll properties.
• Cow of erancery is the hot of trustees for infants, but the
csipense of its protvelion only he borne by large fortunes. It
• is to "Iserth the kid in the mother's milk," to place small ones under
its eirN
establishment of stitch an institution as the American in this
. seunui, would be a great blearing.
It would relieve the Court of Chancery of a material portion of
it, overweizlit, and be the ulvation of litany an infant's property
from fraud and waste.

A 13irri,ter, under the ti,le of Master, or other suit-
able denomination, wuuld be the proper Head and Judge

'of the Court. With him should rest the decision (sub-1
ject to, ppeal to di/Chancellor) of all queitions of light,
as well as the controul of the management/of -property
in the concerns of-infants, and all matters relatibeg to
their guardianship, maintenance, and education. •
The busmen-6T the appointment, of receivers, the
controul and direction of guardians, and the holding-of
all accontable persons to strict regularity of passing
their accounts, and payment of their balances, and the
keeping regular entries of the accounts of the infants,
and the ordering the investments of dead monies or
.savings, as they become disposable, (in the manner of
the banks for savings)' would furnish employment for
a set cf officers to be charged with those duties, under
the superintendence, inspection, and government of the
Head of the Court, to' whom their report should be
made, at stated periods.
Such Officers should be persons bred as, or in the
offices of, respectable Solicitors, or conversant with the
nature of the business they will have to transact, and
(of course) with accounts of the description of those to
be examined, and to be kept and• be respectively the
subjects of their employ or department ; the distribution
of which department would be arranged by the Head
of the Court. Their characters and emoluments should
be such as to raise them above the temptation and SUP
picion of bribery, and to render their offices worth the
acceptance of persons fit to hold them.
• If such an establishment existed many parentaancl others would,-
by their wins or otherwise, direct the provisions for their chil-
dren to be placed under its immediate protection.
All accounts should be passed, like those of receivers,
in summary way. Copies to be furnished by the ac-,
couutants, or their agents, as well for the opposing.
officer or party, as for the office, in like manner as is,
directed in the proposed mode of proceeding in causes.
No office copies but of reports or certificates to be made
at the office.

It may be objected that the present Masters are competent to
the discharge of all the proposed duties, except the judicial, respect-
ing infante properties.
This is not a . conclusion to be drawn from put "ex-
perience of the rate of motion in their offices : and if
they are at 'present overloaded, the multiplication of
causes to which the new regulations will (if adopted)
give birth, will so increase their.burden as to lender it
impossible for them to.give such an augmented field of
business all the attention .and dispatch it will require.
In fact, the multiplied accounts of the infants alone
will form a large. branch or department. •
The institution of a separate Court, under the title of
" The Infants' Court," when known, and its forms and
beneficial purposes and powers become fully under-
stood,
great indeed will be the number it will attract,
whom the terrific name of the Court of Chancery will;
if retained, still keep at a distance.
The idea is, however, at present only thrown out for
consideration ; further information is wanting 'for •the
foundation of a decisive judgment upon it ;• and, if fit
_to be adopted, the reduction of the institution into a
welt-constructed form. . . -
Seine doubts may. be entertained of the-propriety or
necessity of investing thehead of thetoiirt with judicial
power. This is not an essential part of 04, plan. Its.
double utility will be, the relief of the Court of `Chaffi!;'
cery of a part of its overload of hilliness, and the 'WA
and cheap administration of justice in all inFantis cases
But all objection may be obviated, if it is leftnfien,l4
the parties interested in any case.of litigation; to resort
to the Court of .Chancery in preference, if tkiej..s4kro

CHARITY COURT.

There is wanting a corporate officer, in *Um*
legal titles of all charity estates' should be:firested in
=remain. • Many art the charities lost, -or the money
or properties belonging thereto wasted, embezzled, ost,
misapplied, in consequence of the deaths of trustees, and'
the failure of keeping up a regular succession of
sons fit to be entrusted with them. The legal estates'
descend to heirs, and of . course in many cases become
vested in incapable persons, and passing through lines
of descent, sometimes difficult, if-not impossible to- be,
made out and if made out, the expense of conveyance
and new appointments under the direction of the Court'
of Chancery is so great as to eat np, instead of pre-
serving, the charity.
Again, where trustrei—eirinieli tett immediately in-
terested will take the trouble of seeing to the due admi-
nistration of -the property or revenue confided' to them.
The existence and Repines of-the Parliamentary Com-
mis.ioners render it unnecessary to speCify the nature of
the abuses arising from that source alone.
If an office were to be established for the control of
all charities, and in which, at a small or no expense, the
holders might be rendered accountable, and have the
opportunity of passing their accounts in a summary way,
and ail wrongs redressed, great -good might be effected)
and great evil prevented, or put an end to. '
The decision of all questions of right or construction might be*
feeble to the person bolding the station of the bead of the Infants'
Court, who might be the Judge of the Charity Court also. The
Court might embrace both branches, and be denominated the In.
fame and Charity Court.
The mhuaging Officers of this Court or Department should be of
the same description, and subject to the same superintendence and
controul, as thoseproposed as to the officers of the Infants' court
and all proceedings in it under tegulatiOnr.
The keeping the legal titles in one perpetual corpora.
tion sole (similar to those of the church) in perpetuity,
the provision of a forum for the decision of all questions,
of construction, and cases of litigation, and the contraul
of the management and examination of the accounts'oP
all charitable estates and property by summary modes'
of proceeding, would not only answer the beneficial
purposes mentioned, but would relieve the Crum of
Chancery of a further part of its burthen, and free the
Charity properties under question from the ruinous ex-
pense as well as endless delay of its proceedings.
The legal titles would (of course) be transferred unto,and vested
in, the officer and his successors in perpetuate (to be appointed in
the mode to be prescribed) by the Act of Parliament constituting
the office and institution.

Although, to prevent its lapse by death, the legal estate is to be
vested in the officer, the possession may rest with the existing trus-
tees, until death or removal, or be transferred to managers to be ap-
pointed by the Court from time to time, as valiance. or occasions
may occur and require.
The manager for the time being may be invested
with all necessary powers, such as letting, &straining,
&c. under whatever limitations or restrictions it may be-
expedient to prescribe; which powets may to extendible-

. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

11ANSION-HOUSE.

An Israelite, named Polack, residing in a conrt,leading out of
the Alinories, obtained a summons against a broker,- for levying a
distress, and leaving a man in possession of his premises, the money
having been tendered on the first demand.
Maria Polack, wife of the complainant, stated, that she saw the
son of her landlord, Jesse Gibson, a district Surveyor, on Quarter-
I day—it was their Sabbath ; she asked him If he called for his rent ?
He said a No.he would call on Monday." He did come according
to his promise, bringing with him a broker, and charged .3s. for a
I levy, although the money had been in the house 14 days previous.
The broker being called upon to answer the charge, said it was
'done by Mr. Gibson.' directions.
The Lotto Maros' ordered him to refund the money and pay the
apenses, which amounted together to 81. 6d.
• LORD hLtvoa—Mr. Broker, you will be so good as to tell Mr.
Jesse Gibson, from me, that I think he treats these pour people with
unnecessary harshness.
Broker—My Lord, Mr. Gibson will not be dictated to by me.
Polack stated that Jesse Gibson was worth £400,000, andathat it
was his usual way of acting, this having been the second time he
was distrained upon in a similar manner.

GUILDHALL.
. •
Mr. Gilissast, of .the firm of Gillman and Co. lace-makers, in
`Newgate-street, appeared on summons for refusing to pay the car-
nage and porterpge of a parcel. The porter at the Bull Inn, Aid.
gate, proved the delivery and refusal to pay. Mr. Gillman said
he bad gained one point—that be was never called on to pay the
odd two-pence which the innkeepers invariably tack to the charge
for carriage. The parcel in question came from Ashburton, 1$
miles beyond Exeter, and the charge for carriage was 3s. Q. hen
he inquired how they made out this sum, he was told the charge
from Exeter (173 miles) was 2i. and that Is. 6d. was paid at Exeter
to the coach which brought it to that place. Now the rate per
mile between the two charges was so monstrously disproportionate
that he determined to resist it. The porter in reply said, an inn-
keeper in London could not be made responsible for the extortions
of a coach proprietor at Exeter. Mr. Gillman's remedy must be
against the latter. •

Mr. Aldeptian C. Stant decided that the charge front Ashburton
to Exeter was extortionate—that the complainant paid it in his
own wrong, and that the onus lay upon him to recover it.
BOW-STREET.
• . .
The office was much crowded yesterday morning, chiefly by naval
and military Officers, in consequence of the expected re-examination
of lieutenant Kenny; who, as we have already stated, stands charged
with the wilful murder of IClr. Charlton, the Surgeon of the lion.
Company's ship the Bussorab, on the passage home front Bengal.
. Mr. Kenny vas brought from the House of Correction in a coach,
in the custody of Jones, the gaoler, and placed in a private room,
under the care of Langley, the Deal constable. He seemed, as,
before, ill and depressedt
It was stated that Mr. Oakes, thesecond Officer of the Bussorah;
Who; it wiU be, remembered, is a very material witness, was absent,'
and that he had not been seen since the first day's examination. It
is rather a singular circumstance that Mr. Oakes came on Tuesday,
with Bishop and Langley, and the prisoner, to the office, and was
in attendance until within a few moments of the commencement of
the examination, when he was called, but did not answer. Search
was made in the neighbourhood, but *Mr. Oakes was not to be
found. Vishop said he had enjoined • Mr. Oakes not to go away,
apd he could noficcouni for his absence.

. In the course of the morning, a. Gentletnan in deep mourning,
who stated himself to. e the brother of the deceased Mr. Charkon,
=introduced himself to Sir R. Rime, and requeited to be allowed
to-loOtt at the depositions, in order that he might be the better able
to jidgis *beds's; for not the case was of -a nature to make it Um-
lenitive upon him t,o prosecute Mr. Kenny.
SIC R. Blame AM-lie` &Wild have great pleasure in seceding to
the 'request, and told Mr. Charlton if he would step inks a private•
room the clerk would. thew him the depositions. • •
Mr. Charlton baring read the depositions, returned to the public
office, and said to. .Sir R. Bums that the conduct pursued in the
matter Appeared to 'Mtn to be highly culpable, and he should cer-
tisinly feel it his duty' tolsaie the case thoroughly. investigated.
Sir R. Brame said he- perfectiragreed with Hr. Charlton as to
• the necessity of a full investigation. He bad no hesitation in stating,
as his own opinion, that taking all the extraordinary circumstances
pf the ease lito consideration, the going to fight in the dead of night,
"without seconds, and the -determined spirit of hostility which ap-
peared to have been manifested, the crime amounted to wilful
murder. If ItIr: Charlton made up his mind to become.the prose-
cutor, he (Sir R. &rale) would issue summonses to procure the
attendance of all the witnesses on a future day, and if any of them
neglected to obey that mandate, be would lend warrants to take
them inte custody.
Mr. Charlton said he certainly would prosecute, and took a seat
to wait until the conclusion of the day'sbusioess, in case Mr. Oakes
should make his appearance. In a few minutes, however,-a mts.
sage was brought to Mit frono.Lievtenant Kenny, requesting an in-
terview. Mr. Charlton and another brother immediately went to
the private room, and the meeting was really affecting. Mr. Kenny,
the moment be saw the Messrs. Charlton, biust into tears, and
graiping their hands, steed for some moments unable to speak. At
length be expressed, in terms which did honour to his feelings as a
Gentleman` and a Christian, the deep regret he felt attthe melan:.
choly, occurrence which had occasioned their meeting. •He spoke
Of the deceased in the most affectionate terms, and said that he
must have been under the influence of temporary madness to have
lifted his band against him. " Would to GOD !" said Mr. Kenny.
" thit I hid been the victim instead of your estimable brother."
He we of to state, that having both drank very freely on the un-
happy-night in question, some words arose, and Mr. Charlton said
something which he conceived conveyed a reflection upon his•
honour, and in the madness of intoxication be insisted. upon imme-
diate satisfaction—a step, he assured the Messrs. Charkon, the re.
-collection-of which would imbitter the remainder of his days.
After this interview the opinion of MG Charkon'seemed to have
•undergone a considerable change as to the necessity of a prosecution.
He requested that Sir' R. Dirtily would allow him a little time to
consult his solicitor upon the subject.
• Sir R.-Ikasue said he would give him any time he chose; and
finally it was determined that Mr. Kenny should be remanded until
Thesday nest, and in the meantime Mr. Charlton will determine
whether or not he will prosecute.

- A. very, ill. looking fellow, calling himself Stephen Ad, was
brought before 'W: L. Room's, Esq. from the watch-house of the
Rolls Liberty, under the following charge :
.• It appeared, from the evidence of Thomas Beaumont, a watch_
man in Cantylstrea, that shortly after twelve o'clock, Mr. Moore,
the proprietor of Serie'. Coffee-house, came to him on his beat, and
104 him that he had seen three suspicious characters lurking about
for sonie time past,' and advised him to keep a good 100k-out.—

in silence. After looking cautiously round, he saw the three men
all crouching together at the door of Mr. Attwood, a watchmaker;
near the gateway of Lincoln's Inn. lie ran across towards them,
and sprung his rattle ; on which they ran off in various directiOnti.
He (witness) was at this time joined by another watchman, and they.
pursued the prisoner at the bar, who; after various windings, ran
up Popes Head-court, which was no thoroughfare, and was there
secured, after considerable resistance. Previous-to being overtaken
he threw away a large jemmy, or crow-bar, which was afterwards
picked up. .
The constable of the night stated, that on being brought to the
viatchhouse he' was searched; and up the sleeve of his coat were
found two large likelei;xl keys; adapted- for "street doors; and that
shortly after the watchman in .Pope's Head Court brciught four
other skeleton iteys,of different sizes, which had been found on the
