COURT OF CHANCERY, DECEMBER 14..

I.IONKHOUSE V. CORPWRATION OF BEDFORD.
Mr. Colhoun was returned to Parliament by the
Corporation of Bedford, in 1784. Sir Robert Bar-
nard had a mortgage on land, belonging to the Cor-
poration, for a sum of about £lOOO. In the year
1789, Mr. Colhoun paid off the debt, and received
the mortgage papers, together\vith a receipt for the
money paid, which was equivocal in its terms, as it
might mean either that Mr. Colhoun meant to dis-
charge the Corporation entirely from the debt, or that
he intended to stand in the place of Sir R. Barnard,
as Mortgagee upon the Corporation estate. It ap-
peared that these papers had been given to the plain-
tiff'. as a security for a deist, that he had filed his bill
lagainst the Corporation, and had obtained a decree
in his favour.
MI4.IEHARDS, on the part of the Corporation,
now moved to stay the proceedings on the decree,
/or six months, until a re-hearing could be bad. He
contended that the money was to be regarded as a
gift to the Corporation, which it was perfectly com-
petent for the Coporation to receive, it there was no
corruption in the case.
I The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that if a gift of
this kind was made by a person in Mr. Colhoun's si-
tuation, without reference to the past or view to the
future, he knew of no law to invalidate such a gift, or
any ground of corruption. But the question was,
whether any gift at ail had been made ? He could
not go into the merits now, though he had no objec-
tion to the re-hearing. He could not, however, agree
to stop proceedings, according:to the terms of this ap-
plication, unless upon an undertaking to pay the plain-
tiff the interest and costs, from the time of filing the
bill—he unaertaking to return the money in case the
decree shoutd be reversed. His Lordship made an
order accordingly.

DECEMBER 14.
COPP v. COPP.
This was a suit of divorce, or separation from bed,
board, and mutual cohabitation, brought by Sarah
Copp, of the parish of St. Stephen, Coleman-street,
against John Sebastian Copp, of the same parish, by
reason of cruelty and adultery.
It appealed from the proccedings and exhibits pro-
duced in this Ease, that the parties were married at
Manchester in May, 1800, where they lived and caba-
l. bited together for some time ; that they then came to
live and reside at Bromley, in Middlesex ; and that
Iduring such period, Mrs. Copp bad issue several chil-
i dren. It further appeared, that Mr. Copp trequettly
treated his wife with great cruelty, and that finally he
became acquainted, and had a criminal intercourse
with one of Mrs. Copp's servants (the nurse). These
facts being satisfactorily proved by the evidence pro-
duced and read, and there being no opposition set up
on the part of the husband, the Court (Sir WILLIAM
I SCOTT) im media tely proceeded to pronounce the usual
sentence of separation, as pronounced in like cases.
