LA W 'REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AI . :ARCH 4.
IN RI SIR G. P. TURNER.

On the part of Lady Turner a motion was nude by Mr. Holum
for a further advance of £9.15, ber Ladyship being in a state of the
greatest distress.
Mr. Heats on the part of the Committee, opposed the motion.
Lady Turner had received in two years Xg,300, and the estate of
the lunatic produced only £2,000 a year.
The Loao Cuascazoa directed further affidavits to be filed of
this fact ; and, in the meantime, ordered the ease to stand over.
THE ZING OF SPAIN AND OTHERS, V. DON JUsTO JOIN Di
MACHADO AND JUAN ALVAREZ MENDIZABAL,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved, on the part of the
King of Spain and others, for an injunction to restrain
the defendants from taking any steps, or adopting any
proceedings, for the purpose of possessing themselves
of the Eachequer bills paid into the Court of Common
Pleas, in a cause of Mendizabal v. Machado, that Men.'
dizabal might be restrained from going on with any pr o-
ceedings against Machado, and that the claim of Men-
dizabal on thelunds in question, it be had any, might
be disposed of under the direction of this Court.
It appeared from the statement of the Solicitor7Ge-
neral and Mr. Shadwell, that Machado Was appointed
a Commissioner under a certain convention, to receive
monies paid by the French Government, for the indem-
nification of certain persons who sustained losses by the
Acts of the Revolutionary Government of France in
Spain, and Machado upon finding that certain intrigues
were going on in Paris to get possession of these funds,
converted them into English money, and came over to
this country. Before his arriving inEngland,an action was
brought against him-b 7 Meadizabal, as a claimant on
these funds, and he was arrested by him for the seat of
120,0001. Machado, in order to get rid of the arrest,
paid 80,0001. into the Cchtrt of Common Pleas. The
Government of Spain opposed the claim of Mendizabal,4
on the ground that Machado was only a trustee of these
funds, and that they belonged to parties who would
establish their claims to them in the Court of Spain.
After a considerable degree of exparte discussion,
Mr. Susumu, on the part of Mendizabal, con ended
there was no direct allegation in the Bill, that there was
any collusion, or that the funds that Mendizabal wasl
suing for in the Common Pleas exclusively belonged
to the Spanish Government.
The LORD CMAIIeiLLOR thought, if there had been
such a.chargein the Bill, he should have considered
the affidavit made by Mendizabal in the Common
Pleat, dui so much money was due to him, as
Counter oath,.to ba looked at by this Court, as much as
if it had been stated in the answer of the party.
Mr. SOLIOITOR-GENERAL observed, if his Lnrdship
thought it was not fully stated in the affidavit, it was
but reasonable they should have an opportunity of
amending the statement, which could be carried
much further.

Mr. SVGDZN hoped his Lordship would not allow
the other side to amend their affidavits,. as the case was
brought on without allowing him the slightest oppor-
tunity to prepare himself, and when his. client applied
fur leave to answer the affidavits, the other side insisted
on bringing it on. However, he hoped his Lordship
would allow the costs of the application. The present,
certainly, was a very ingenious made on the part of the
King of Spain to raise a nzw Loan. ' -
The Loan Cstaxcncougavd the plaintiffs liberty to amend their
affidavits, and directed before the matter came on again, copies of
amended aflidaviu should be forwarded to the adverse party.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Masan 4,

110 Y V. SIMPSON.
This was an action of trover to recover the value of
a horse, alleged to be wrongfully declined by the
defendant.

The plaintiff was an innkeeper at Dartford, and em-
ployed a person named Prudence, t horse-dealer in
Southwark, as bis agent for the sale of a certain horse.
The defendant is a brewer, and, in August, 1824,
having occasion for such a horse as that offered for sale
by Prudence, he taished to have it on trial. The price
demanded was thirty guineas. Atter some days had
elapsed, Mr. Simpson was asked whether he intended
to keep the horse? He said No, for he wat old and
broken-winded." Prudence then required the horse to'
be returned. This was refused. A long period then
passed, and when the hire of the horse, at Ss. a`day
amounted t 047/. the bill was sent in. Mr. S. paid 301.
AS the value of the horse. Prudence said he rectived
this as part of the hire, and again demanded the horse.
Mr. S. refused, and still told Mr. P. that he would not
purchase it. The present action was therefore brought
to recover the value of this horse, which defendant thus-
detained and refused to purchase.
Mr. SCARLET? for the defendant, submitted to the
Jury the improbability of the plaintiff's case, in which it
was supposed that his client would continue to keep a
horse on bite, until the sum thus due amounted to 471.
when the value of the horse was only thirty guineas.
A witness was called, who proved that the objection
made by the defendant to purchase the horse was not
absolute, but merely conditional; he would not pur-
chase until certairt other horses for which he had occa-
sion could be procured.
The LORD CHIE7 JUSTICE told the Jury, that the
vita to which he ought to direct their attention was,
whether the horse had been sold or not ? If they thought
he had been sold, they would find for the defendant :
if not, they would find for the plaintiff.
The Jury having consulted some minutes, returned a verdict foe
the defendant.

The Prussians are occupied with the proposal of some
new laws as to primogeniture and entails, at the same
moment with the Franc&
