COURT OF KING'S BENCH,DUIILIN, JUNE 8.

LESSEE OF HUSSEY v. LORD SIDNEY GODOLPIIIN OSBORNE.

This cause which is an issue out of Chancery, has
been on trial here for the last two days, and, it is sup-
posed, will not be finished before to-morrow night.—
fltough only a trial at Niri Fritts, yet, from its im-
portance (the matter in contest being the whole of
the Irish Es::ttes of the late Earl Beaulieu, which at
present produce more than 07000 a-year) the Courti
is full, and all the Judges preside.
These estates are claimed by Mr. Hussey, as heir-
at-law, and by Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne, the
third son of the Doke of Leeds, as devisee of Earl
Beaulieu, who died in 1802. Earl Beaulieu's family
were Catholics. In 1760, the Nobleman whose will
is now contested conformed to the established religion.
In 1797 he made that will, devising all his estates to
Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne, subject only to the
payment of £6OO yearly to his brother, R. Hussey,
for life, and £20,000 to a natural daughter. In 1802
Ihe died, when Richard, his brother, entered into pos.
session of his Irish estates ; upon whose death the title
of the lessee accrued. The ground on which
lEarl Beaulieu's will is disputed is this—that he was
lat the time of his death a relapsed Papist, and of
course rendered incapable, under an Act of Parlia-
ment in force in Ireland, of devising his property.—
The evidence given in support of this fact is as fol-
lows : that from 1760, when Earl Beaulieu conform-
ed, until 1796, he sat in the House ; that from 1796,
the poind at which it is supposed he relapsed, until
his death, he discontinued doing so, in order to av&d,
as it is supposed, taking the Oaths of Supremacy and
Abjuration. That about that time be became very
intimate with Dr. Hussey, Titular Bishop of NVater-
ford ; that Dr. Hussey went down to the Earl's
country scat, 20 miles from London, where he cele-
brated mass in an outer room, where there was no
other person but himself and his clerk, whilst the
Earl was in the inner room, with the door of ctnmii.
nication -between both rooms open : that upon another
occasion the Earl was seen kneeling, whilst the Doc-
i for stood over him, with his hands spread upon his
head giving him his benediction ; that the Earl's
daughter was educated in the Romish Religion, tin-
der the immediate direction of the Doctor, and that
the Earl expressed his warm sense of the liberal edu-
cation he had bestowed on her ; and, finally, that the
Earl had admitted to Hussey that he had been recon-
ciled to the Catholic Church.

Lord S. G. Osborne's case has not yet been gone
into, but it is imagined that his Counsel will endea-
rour to spew that the Earl was insane at the time of

•
fls making the admission, and doing the several . nets
alluded to. 1-
Lord 6. G. ottorne, a fine youth of 17, Mr. Hos.
Bey, and a great number of witnesses from England,
poth male and female, are in Court, which is 6:eatly
crowded.
Mr. Hussey, i the.bcir-atfiwils a very poor .-rint
and was lately a clerk in the earth-nipcy ice,
at £lOO a-year salary.
