LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 9.
iw Res CHIPPING soosuav CHARM OCNOOL.
The LORD Citaxcaccoa gave judgment at considerable length.
The main question was, whether this school, which bad been ori-
ginally instituted by a decree of the Commissioners. under Cha-
ritable Uses in the third year of King Charles I. a free grammar
school, with an eadowment of £2O a-year for the purpose of paying
a schoolmaster to teach the sons of the townsmen of Chipping
Sodbury, remained a free grammar school? And a decree in
the year 1694, pronounced by the Commissioners under the
statute, confirmed the former decree. From that period down to
the appointment of the Gentleman who filled the office of master,
print to the appointment of the present master. all the appointments
had been of masters to fill the office strictly as that of a free gram-
mar school. During th- latter stay of the present master's pre-
decessor, he taught reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as the
learned languages. The present master objected at first to take
the appointment of the mastership of the school as altered in its
supposed nature, but on being sainted by the bailiffs and burgesses
of the town that no further appointment could be made, unless of
masters who could teach every thing, ?dr. Smith accepted of the
office. He afterwards stated that he had not been aware when he
took the office, that the school had been originallyformed a grammar
schoool, and that it could not be altered by the Corporation. He
consequently declined to teach any. thing but the learned languages,
and the Corporation brought an ejectment to turn him out and re-
cover the school-house. The Master applied to the Vice Chan-
cellor for an injunction to restrain proceedings under the ejectment,
which he granted, directing the bailiffs and burgesses to pay
all the expenses, having been of opinion that the school was a free
grammar school, and that the Corporation had no power or right to
alter its constitution. Upon this appeal, he (the Lord Chancellor)
perfectly concurred with his Honour in his view of the nature of
the school, and therefore confirmed his order in all respects, except
aa.to making the bailiffs, &c. personally pay the costs. Upon this
point he promised to have some conversation with the Vice Chan-
cellor. He quite agreed that the master should be entirely indem-
nified as to every shilling of expense he bad been put to ; but it
might be hard to make the bailiffs, &c. pay the coats out of their
own pockets, because they might have thought, in the most' bona
Me" manner, that in their view they were doing the best they
could for the school; and again, if they were to pay them out of the
Corporation funds, these funds might belong to other charitable
purposes, and in that respect such charities would be damnified.
IN THR MATTER OF TNR MOIL 3. 1. IRRII4, • LUNATIC.
The SOLICITOR.G ENRR A L said he bad a Petition to present in this
case of rather an unusual kind. It prayed that the Right Hon.
Viscount St. Vincent and Mr. Gatty might be ordered to deliver
up the clothes, wearing apparel, toys, &c. of the Infants of the Lu-
natic. His L%rdship was aware that the Infants, under the order
of the Court, were now in the care of Sir Dudley Hill, an arrange-
ment, it would appear, not quite palatable to the other side, for
every species of annoyance had been adopted, for the purpose, he
supposed, of disgusting that gentleman with his charge. When he
called for them be was told that they were in the drawing-room,
and he might go up and fetch them, for they would not be brought
down ' and he was actually obliged to take them away is the clothes
they had on, and their changes of linen were only forwarded on the
others being returned. The children were now obliged to wear the
clothes of the Dudley family.
Mr. Houle, on the part of Lord St. Vincent, had no objection
to deliver up all that was wanted. They would have been deli-
vered before, bat no order had been given by the guardians who
had been appointed.
A good deal of conversation ensued, during which the LORD
CNANC TALCS said he had received a letter from Sir Dudley Hill,
complaining of the rumours that bad been circulated.
The COURT deeply lamented that such a case as this should be
brought before the public, and ordered the prayer of she petition
to be granted, but without costs.
VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dec. 9.
IN RR ssiaas, • RANIIRUPT.
The Coos: gave judgment this morning in this case. A
creditor of the bankrupt's, residing out of England, bad made
an affidavit of his debts before a foreign eonsul, and the ques-
tion for the decision of the Court was, whether under the 20th
section, cap. 87, 6th George IV. such an affidavit was to be re-
ceived and considered in the same light as an affidavit made be-
fore a Magistrate in this country. It was argued that it was so,
but the Court thought that would be pu ting a construction on
the 20th section which it did nut warrant. By the Bankrupt
Act it was provided, that if a creditor lives out of England he
must prove his debt by an affidavit, sworn before a Magistrate
and attested by a Notary Public. The Court was clearly of opi-
nion the Act which made the affidavit sworn before a Consul equi-
valent to an affidavit sworn before a Justice of the Peace, could not
be considered as giving the affidavit a character equivalent to that
which the Bankrupt Act required. The language of the 20th sec-
tion of the 6th of George IV. was too weak to authorize the
Court in coming to the conclusion that the affidavit was sufficient.
The Court took exceptions and further directions to-day.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. 9.
GOWIIIIIIGS v. ILICZARD6OII.

The Plaintil4 a grocer, at Norton Falgate, sought to recover a
bill for grocery, supplied to the Defendant, for the use of " The
Chartered Gas Ught Company."
It was contended on the part of the Defendant, that the dealing
for goods had been with one Gregory, who bad sold his business to
the plaintiff ; but the Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff—Da.
rages .65 19$. 3d.

AIIIIIONT V. Dramatic!).
The plaintiff, a watchmaker in Clerkenwell, brought this action
against the defendant, an attorney, to recover the balance of a bill
for goods sold and delivered so long since as the year 1817.
It appeared that the defendant. before he became an attorney,
earrkd on business at Lynn, in Norfolk, and was supplied by the
plaintiff with a quantity of aquatints and nitrous acid. Smte
money bad been paid on account, but the balance claimed by the
plaintiff amounted to £1 2.
The defendant, to get rid of the demand. pleaded, first, that the
cause of action bad not occurred within the last six years, and, se-
,coadly, that the plaintiff had accepted of 47 in full of all demands.
The first defence was negatived by a subsequent promise to pay.
and the second afforded a most curious cross-examination. A wit-
ness, the defend nt's clerk, who was called to prove the payment
of the £7 to the plaintiff in 1823, and the taking of a receipt, walla
had been lost, made a remarkable figure in the box ; and the Jury
were called upon by the plaintiff's counsel to give no credence to
his deposition.
The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the
plaintiff for the whole of his demand,

GATRHOUSI V. ARNOLD.
