EDICNBOROUGH W. THIt DISIIOP OF LONDON.

The LORD CHANCIELLOR pronounced judgment in
this case to-day. It was a question respecting the elec-
tion of a vicar for the parish •f St. Stephen, Coleman-
street, and has been repeatedly before the Court for a
considerable time past. His Lordship expressed an
opinion that the right of election was vested in such of
the patishioarrs only as contributed to the church and
poor-rates; and that the mode of election should be in
the ordinary way of open election, and not by ballot.
His decision, therefore, was, that the election which had
here taken place was void, and the parishioners, there
fore, might proceed to a new election ; but it did not
follow from what he had stated that the bill must be
dismissed. The parishioners might proceed to a fresh
election immediately. His Lordship also said, he thought
it right that the trustees should be restrained in the
meantime from exercising the right of presentation.
Such was his present opinion, acrd it might be acted
upon► if he did not state anything contrary to morrow.
The following Scotch Peers took the customary oaths before the
Lone CNANCCLLOit previously to their voting on the election of the
Scotch Representative Peers:—'Tice Dukes of Argyll, Lennox
(Richmond) and Montrose, the Marquis of Lothian, end VW-
, count Dumblane.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

0 NOT •T Elowa"—Yesterday, just before the close of the office,
Lloyd, Esq. was charged by Mr. Taylor, the landlord of tbe
York Arms, Curzon.street, May Fair, under the fallowing cir-

cumstances
Mr. Taylor stated, that upon the 11th instant, the prisoner, who
described himself as a West India planter, came to his house, and
said he wanted lodgings. Having two rooms empty, he told the
Gentleman, who instantly engaged them, and begged of him, as
he had no change, to pay the coachman his fare; willing to oblige
the supposed Gentleman, he paid the coachman fifteen shillings—
he was then shown the rooms, with which he appeared much de-
lighted, and distantly sitting down imehe sitting room, ordered a
large fire to be made, and observing that as he bad only just arrived
from the West Indies, he was not inured to the cold of England.
A fire was then made, which was kept in day and night. The
West India planter then said, that having come without any attend-
ants, he must request him to engage a man servant to attend on
him. Accordingly a man was engaged at a salary of 6s. per day, hut
who, for the three days be was attending upon the planter, had
not one hour's rest, as lie was fanning the planter day and night.—
Upon Sunday, however, whilst the planter was in his room, eating
and drinking sumptuously, he received a hint, that he was not
quite the man whom he represented himself to be, and that he Was
going to give hint the double early on Monday morning. This
information induced hint to be on the watch all night, and at five
o'clock yesterday morning, he heard a coach draw up to his door.
He instantly dressed himself and went down, when he found the
West India planter preparing to start, on which he taxed him with
attempting to defraud hint. This, however, the planter denied, say-
ing, he was going to see a friend in Westminster. " What !" ex-
claimed the complainant, with surprise, " going a-visiting at this
rinse, before people are out of bed, and besides you have not dis-
charged your bill." " Oh," replied the prisoner with great coolness,
" it is the usual hour of visiting in the West Indies, but if you like',
you shall go with me; besides, you have considerable property of
mine."—He then said he would accompany hint at 10 or 11 o'clock.
At the latter hour a second coach was called, and he and the planter
went to Westminster, but his friend was not at home. They then
drove to a second friend, but he was not a home. The planter then
desired the coachman to drive to the office of the Insh Secretary,
saying, he would call and see his cousin Harry Goulburn. Upon
striving there, the cousin Henry Goulburn was not at home. They
then drove to the City to several merchant; who possessed the
planter's property, but at each of the places the answers were—not
at home. Finding the West India planter's pockets were also not
at home, he tipped the coachman the wink, who drove them up to
the office, and he now wished to :mow what was to be done, for the
coachman's fare amounted to etas. and not the thousandth part of
the sttrn was in the West Indian's pocket.
Lloyd—This fellow has considerable property of mitre, which is
in a box entrusted to his care.
Taylor—There is the box (producing a small paper one).
Lloyd—Open that, your Worabip, and you will find it contains

twenty yards of pink and white tape, and alter baying performed
this necessary operation, he took of the lid, and the hrst article
which was laid on the table was a band of black silk, on which was
worked, in letters of gold, the fellowing inscription :—" E. R. Lloyd
departed this life, Nov. 12, A.D. 178.1, aunt to Mrs. Burge."
There, pointing with his angcr, exclaimed Lloyd, is Harry

prove to Harry Goulhurn that I am his cousin, and here is p7erry

greasy capers.
