LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY. Amps? 11.
SIAWIMAN ASA ANOTHIn V. TEO..

Mr. SoLiisroa43erienac said, in the case of the
Encyclopedia Metropolitana, the Court had given the,
publishers of the London Encyclopedia the opportunity
of making an affidavit, but unfortunately it had not
limited any time within which the affidavit was to be
nude; the Consequence was, there was no appearance
of the affidavit yet.
Mr. Howse appeared on the other tide. His clients
were making an affidavit ; they were very good authors,
but undoubtedly an affidavit was a new species of com-
position to them, and therefore thay requited some time
to accomplish their task.
Mr. Soranrrust-Osuettat, said, all the parties were in
town, they all .lived in Pateritester-row, and therefore
4ie hoped his Lordship would limit the time to Monday,
as after it was made further information might have to
-be given by the plaintiffs.
His Lamour desired the &Molt to be pro,inea4 within a

Isis LORDSIIIP stated that an application was made
to the Court for a Receiver and Manager to this
Theatre, and it eventually ordered that the nightly
.expeneet should be paid, but gas.: no sanction to the
payment of any debt !hearted previous to the appoint-
ment of the Receiver. His Lordship thought that the
Theatre was to be looked at exactly as a common case
of partnership, to be carried on by the Court until it
wits wound up. The ease was ordered. to stand over
tin Monday.

ROLLS COURT.
VIZ ATToNIIzi-GINZRAL V. •IVIAN AND 0111111111.
Tus cause we. beard before We Honoer in November last, and
sow tame on foe judgment.
The facti of the case were as follows :—ln-the year
1502,. Mr. Burton, a parishioner of St. Austin, in the
city of London, bequeathed in trust to the Rector and
Churchwardens of that parish, and to their successors
for ever, the rents and profits of certain houses 'situated
in Wading-street, for the maintenance of a taper in the
parish Church, and for the sustentation and maintenance
of the Church itself. In the great fire of London the
Church-of St. Austin was consumed, together with that
of the adjoining parish of St. Faith. By the statute of
the 22d of Charles IL uhich was intended to repair that
calamity, the two parishes of St. Faith and St. Austin
were united into one parish ; but by one of the clauses
it was expressly declared, that, notwithstanding such
union, 64 all the charges, rates, rights. and privileges, of
each parish should. continue separate and distinct." It
appeased that since the onion of the parishes, the inha-
bitants of St. Faith, who were More numerous than those
of, St. Aultin, had been in the habit of paying for the
repairs of the Church in the prOportion of two-thirds,
while the inhabitants of St. Austin paid the remaining
third out of the revenue of the trust estate, and the sur-
plus they applied to the relief of their own poor. The
bill prayed that the Court would direct the whole of the
rpairs of the Church of the united parishes to be paid
out of the trust estates.

His HONOUR declared himself to be of opinion that
the inhabitants of St. Faith had no right either under the
will or under the act of Parliament to the relief which
they prayed, and therefore directed the bill to be dis-
=Used with costs. It was, however, he said, in the
wet of•the Cow, when an information relating to a
cbarity came before it, even although the prayer of the
information was of such a nature as could not properly
be granted, to make any regulation which it might
deem .proper with respect to the disposition of the trust
property. He thought that the Court would be justi-
fied in interfering in the present case, for he could not
consider the application of the surplus to the support of
the poor to be consistent with the intention of the testa-
tor. It was, however, in the first place, necessary that
the Crown should come before the Court as claimant of
that part of the trust revenue which the testator appro.
;stilted to the maintenance of a taper, and which by the
statute of the first of Edward VI. cap. 14, sec. S and 6,
dfirvolved to the King. He would therefore direct the
laformation to stand over till the Solicitor General
Should appear, and he would then refer it to the Master
to frame a proper scheme for the distribution of funds.

GRAND EEGATTA -IN raE: DOWNS.
.111hich ,
..........
A public meeting of die inhabit ant* of Deal took place
a fortnight lima; which various remlutions were passed,
subscriptions entered into, and a day fixed for a Regatta,
was to take place under the especial patronage of
the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Cotrington, Lord Warden
-and Deputy-Lord Warden of the -Cinque-Potts, Lady
Yerulam, Admiral Sir E. Hatvey, ComniOdo-re Sir E.
Owen, M;P. Sir Robert Farquhar, Bart. M.P. S. Ma.
jnribanks, Esq. M.P. and J. Marryatt, Esq. M.P. The
Mayor and Corporation, assisted by other Gentlemen of
the town, undertook the management of the suborn).
tions and the distribution of the prizes, and Sir E. Owen
kindly offered to conduct the nautical sports. The
distinguished persons mentioned above, particularly
Lords Liverpool and Carrington, evinced a warm de.
gree of interest in the undertaking, and subscribed liber-
ally to the fund, and the Naval Officers on the station,
also took an active part in forwarding the praiseworthy
object. These Gentlemen assisted in the planning the
races, and superintending the arrangements, which were
perfect in every respect.
On Thursday last the Regatta took place. At so early
an hour as seven o'clock vehicles of vat ious descriptions
were pouring into the town, from Margate, Ramsgate,
Dover, Folkestone, Canterbury, Sandwich, and the other
principal towns, and we even law no inconsiderable
number of persons from places SO or 40 miles distant.
Many houses in the town, and the whole line of build-,
ings facing the sea, including Deal' Castle and the other
public establishments, were profusely ornamented with
flags of all colours, and commodious stands were erected
for spectators. The Ramilies, 74, guard-ship, several
King's cutters, and three of the East India Company's
yachts, besides several private yachts, lying in the offing,
were also decorated in every part of their rigging with
flags and streamers. At the Pilot-house, opposite to
which a boat was moored, as the winning point, a grand
stand was erected for the accommodation oftbe titled per-
sonages who had signified their intention to be- present.
In the course of the morning a great number of plea.
sure•boats arrived in the Downs from various porptcand
two large steam vessels, crowded with gaily-dressed
company, came down from Margate and Ramsgate, andi
hovered abreast of the town during the sports. , -
The amount of the prises was not strictly limited, several Ma-
dman hubs, after the matches, made handsome potence to the
mm who gippiared best to curt themselves. •
The sown for the contending teats extended from
.oandown
Cade nearly to Walmer Castle, sea hack to she Plltst noose, a
distance of six miles; and it warsharked out by a line 'of punts
smeared at gived'distances, each bait-ilia gag.

the lead, and kept abreast of each other, stem by stem, for above
half a mile.
.The Polly Pueblos during this time kept within about three
boats length of the leading bans. In this order those three boats
continued until their return, when the Pope of Reno got a-head of
the Polyanthus, and won the match cleverly; Polyanthus sawed;
Polly Peachum third; and the other three were distanced.

Teller being third, and the Maid of Kent last. In this order they
continued daring the Miele nee, the Otiosity gradually inereashig

mile. The Maid of Kent was distanced.
Thus terminated the first Deal and Downs 'Regatta,
and a more gratifying exhibition could scarcely be wit;
nessed. The graceful and masterly manner in which
the men handled their' oars, the strength and determi-
nation displayed by them all, and the skill with Which
they were steered, excited the strongest feelings of ad-
miration, and drew forth loud and repeated cheerings
from all present. The day's sports gave employment
and rewards to upwards of 200 men of the town, a great
number being engaged in keeping the course and in
other wayi, and all liberally paid from the ftind. -
Lord Liverpool was unavoidably absent, but Lady Verulasn, his
Lordship's sister, Lord Carrington, Admiral Harvey, and a long list
of fashionabks, graced the grandstand with their presence.' -

Lord M—, an Irish Nobleman, was remarkable
for his vanity. When he was indulging in his favourite
strain of egotism in a large company, he made use of.
the following remark-6, When I
.happen to say a
foolish thing, I always burst out a laughing." 4, I envy
your happiness," said Charles Townsend, " for you
must lead the merriest life of: any man in England."
Among the Battas of the Eastern Ocean, adultery is
held in the, highest abhorrence, and is considered a
crime of so deep a dye, that when detected and proved,
the perpetrator is consigned to the most ignominious
and torturiug death that savage ingenuity has ever
invented.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Two inhabitants of the parish of St. Olave, Hart-strett, of which i
Dr. Owen is the Incumbent, were summoned for refusing to pay ,
their Poor's Rates. The parish officers stated. that the inhabitants
refuse to pay their rates; ,that the poor are starving egad clamour
oue ; and that all this is the work of the Doctor, who has not only
refused to pay rates on his own tithes, but has also incited the other
inhabitants not to pay their rates. '
Mr. Buckle and Mr. Blake, the defendants, both resisted the
payment of the rates, on the ground that they were unequally as-
sessed. Their rates were nearly doubled, at the same time that
those of some of the parish officers were reduced. •
The LORD MAYOR SEI3, It certainly appeared that there were ex•
traordinary inequalities in the assessments of the rates. It was true,
however, that the rates must be paid until the appeal was deter-
mined; but that the parish officers were not entitled to levy more .
than the amount of the previous assessment. He then ordered them
to pay the rates.
I Mr. Dixon and the Parish Officers of Diatomite appeared to
bear his Lordship's determination on their application for a warrant
against the former mentioned person for tithes. He resisted on
the ground that the Parish Officers had applied a considerable
amount of the money collected for tithes to the Minding of a house
for their Incumbent the Bishop of Chester.
The Loan 111a,von said he had not only looked over the Act of
Parliament himself very carefully, but, what was perhaps better.
be had taken the opinion of the Oty Solicitor upon the subject ; that
Gentleman agreed with biro in opinion that the power of rectifying
any error as to the assessment of the rate lay with the Magistrates
at the Sessions, and was not possessed by any individual Magistrate.
He wished to repeat his conviction that there was no Parish under
better general management than the Parish of Bishopsgate.
Mr. Dixon—l deny that the Parish officers have made the rate
for a purpose for which they are entitled.
The Loan Maroi—l cannot determine that. Will you pay the
sum for which you ire assessed?
Mr. Dixon—Certaiely not.
The Lowe Mayo.—Then let a warrant be issued.
Mr. Dixon—Very well, my Lord; I am prepared.
The Loan Pdaroa—You may, if you choose, appeal to the
Sessions.
Mr. Dixon—l will not appeal to the Sessions; but I will, on the
Sat day of next Term, or as early as possible, apply to the Court of
King's Bench for a criminal information against the Parish Officers,
for misapplication of the parish money.
The warrant of distress was then issued.
Two unartly.dressed young men, named Pallier and Jones, were
charged wish having bad bouse.breaking or burglarious implements
in their possession, with intent to commit felony. They were sen.
tensed to three months' imprisonaseot and hard labour in the House
I of Correction..
GUILDHALL.
. Henri, Broinwell, a weather-beaten tar, was brought before Sir
Joint PERRINO yesterday, upon a warrant, which alleged that he
had suffered two of his children to become chargeable to the parish
of Peter, Paul's Wharf.
. The complaint was preferred by Mr. Burnett, the Church-
warden, who stated that the two children had been removed some
time since from St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, to this parish, upon the
testimony of the wife, that it was the legal settlement of her fins.
band, and Is. a week had been paid -for their maintenance. The
prisoner was a seafaring man, possessed, be understood, of consi-
derable property, and as be avowed himself unwilling to support
the children, he hoped the Magistrate would oblige him to give
indemnity for past, and security against future expences. Bram-
well said bit was a singularly bard case. He had passed the last
twenty. years of his life at sea. After a long absence from Eng-
land, he returned its 1823, and found that in the interim, somebody
had been supplying kis place in his domestic duties and the birth
of two children had been the result of the connection. Upon in-
quiry, be leant that his worn brother had the fairest claim to the
tide of lather. The youngest child was, impudently enough,
during the nine Weeks he resided in England at that time, brought
to Ms lodgirigs andileft there. He gave the little innocent some
nourishment for thivight, and the next morning took it to the place
where his brother was at work, and left it on a table by his side. He
should feel a pleasure in maintaining hie own children, but he
hoped the Magistrate would not say he ought to support those of
miser men.
Sir Joust PERRIN* inquired where the prisoner's wife was now ?
Barnett said, he understood shit was living at Portsmouth.
• Ws Joss thought k'ingertant that her evidence opal the matter
tould be takenyand said he-would remand the prisoner foe a few
ye, to give Min an opportunity of bringing her forward.
'The nelsondessid, his brother was in the receipt of 25e. a week,
.and was diem/ere in a situation:to maintain these children. ,
. repellence was then remanded.' •
By the law of the land, a sten may be a bastard, wbh kink*
aftev marelegea under special circumstances; such as the natural
