We learn by a private letter from an officer at Fernando Po,
dated 20th Sept. that Capt. Morgan, R. M. (the military com-
mandant) with fourteen others, were all.that remained out of three
officers, and nearly forty non.commissioned of and privates of
the Royal Marine% who left England as Volunteer. in April last,
for that ill-fated and pestilential Island. First Lieut. John Wil-
liams Meheux R.M. died there on the 12th September • the then
Subaltern (21 Lieut. Dusautoy, nephew of the Rev. W. &
Dusautoy, of Sc. John's chapel, Portsea,) had died some time pre-
viously. Our letter also confirms the welcome intelligence of the
incorrectness of the report of the death of Lieut.-Col. Nicoll.,
R. M. the civil Governor of Fernando Po, and stares that fever had
left him, which happy change is attributed to his having embarked
and proceeded to sea in one of the English crofters, as soon u he
was attacked.

West of Waterford. She was nearly in pieces, with neither per.
sous nor papers on board. The Esperanee, De;zarier, of Dunkirk,

COURT OF.CHANCERY, Mc. 21.
8111414012...-.11.11VC212 n 1111122202121.

The Loan Csancau.on this morning pronounced judgment in
this appeal, which has been argued for four• days at considerable
length. His Lordship observed that it was a case of considerable
importance. not only nit regarded the magnitude of the property
in dispute, but as it affeeted'the eharacterof some of the parties con-
cerned in it. It related to a negociation for the taking a lease of
the Verteg Iron Works in Wales, which Id . Knight and Co.
held of Messrs. Hill. and Co. but the working of which they had
discontinued five years previous to the time of this transaction,
and being desirous of giving up the lease, had offered Messrs. Hill
and Co.:the sum of .226,000 to release them from their engage.
ments with regard to it. This offer being unsuccessful, Mr. White.
house, the defendant undertook to find some one who would take
the lease off their hands; for that purpose applied toMesars. Fawcett
and Shandoviso were willing to enter louse partnership with him, for
the purpose of working the mines. Mews. Knight and Co. were
willing to give a large sum of money, besides the benefit of retaining
freehold lands adjoining the works, and which they had purchased,
wan responsible party who would relieve them from the berthen
of their engagements ; and Mr. Whitehouse, who acted as agent.
to Messrs. Fawcett and Co. in the negociation, entered into an
agreement with Messrs. Knight and Co. which he concealed
from Fawcett and Shand, by which he was to have a private
advance of 12,0001., without interest, from the former, to be re-
paid only in case the stipulations with regard to the taking the lease
off their bands were not fulfilled ; but this conditional gift was
afterwards converted into an absolute one, as soon as the respon-
sibility of the parties who were to take the lease was aster.
tamed. This was the matter complained of in the Plaintiff's
MU. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that Whitehouse was
acting in this transaction as the agent of his future part-
ners, and if in that character he stipulated for any private advan-
tage for himself, it was impossible that this Court should sanction it.
It had been said that this was a loan to enable Whitehouse to
bring forward his capital into the concern ; but whether it was a
loan, or whether it was an absolute gift, it was a private benefit to
the agent, and could not be allowed. The decision of the Vice-
Chancellor was correct, and Mr. Whitehouse must be considered
as holding the £12,000 as trustee for Fawcett and Co. The Vice-
Chancellor's dean must therefore be affirmed, and, considering
the clearness of the case, affirmed with coats.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
CUM. CON.IIITIMETT.Ie• V. QUINSY. nub
Mr. Kum, opened the pleadings. Joseph Salisbury Musket,
Esq. was the plaintiff, and Richard Hanbury Gurney, Req. the de.
fendant.:The action was for criminal conversation by the defend.
ant with the wife of the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded that be
was not gully.
The Ammer-Gunner said he had to address the Jury to-day'
on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. Markin, who complained of an in-
jury, on the nature of which it was not necessary for Mm (the
Learned Counsel) to make any observations. He would content
himself with stating the circumstances of the parties, and the history
of the case, and then leave it to them to give the plaintiff such com-
pensation in damages as they should think commensurate with the
injury he bad sustained. Mr. Musket' was the son of a gentleman
possessing a considerable landed estate in the county of Norfolk.—
A short time prior to his marriage with the lady of whose sedue-
Uon he complained, his father had settled on him a considerable
estate at Intwood, in the county of Norfolk. Mrs. Marken, before
her marriage, was a Miss Jarey, the only daughter of a most respect-
able gentleman in the same neighbourhood, about eight miles from
Mr. M.'s residence. At the time of the marriage, which took place
in inn, the lady waste or 19 yeah of age: Mr. Muskett was about
gy. The lady's father gave her a fortune of 5,0001. and Mr. M.'s
estate was settled on the issue of the marriage. For four years
after the marriage the parties lived on terms of the greatest affec-
don and harmony. They had a daughter, which was the only child.
1 The defendant, Mr. Gurney, was well known by name. He was
a banker at Norwich, and had the honour of representing that city
in Parliament. He was the owner of a considerable landed estate
in the county, and bad a mansion at Keswick, where be resided
with his mother and sister. The plantation attached to his estate
adjoined the plaintiff's grounds, and, la fact, the parties were neigh.
beers. They had not, however, prior to the plaintiff's marriage,
been on terms of great intimacy, although they had a slight ac.,
quaintance ; but after their marriage their intimacy increased la
consequence of the plaintiff espousing the same political cause with
the defendant. They were both friends of Mr. Coke, the Member
for the county, and acted in his interest. Mr. Gurney being a
gentleman of very great fortune, Mr. Muskett, whose means were
not so ample, thought that be was not in a situation to be the con-
stant associate of such a man ; but still their intimacy was continued
for some time on the same terms as it bad before misted. About
four years after Mr. and Mrs. Muskett's marriage, Mr. Musket%
went to pay a visit to a relation who resided in the neighbourhood
of a villa which Mr. Gurney possessed ; and he knowing that they
were there, prevailed on them to pay him a visit also. This was
in the year 1817. After Mrs. M.'s return from that visit, Mr. M.
thought that he observed some little alteration in her manner, but
.he took no notice of it, and sit passed over. In October, 1817,
however, an event occurred which the Learned Counsel would
now describe. Mr. Muskett was in the habit of visiting his
father every .S6oday, at his residence about seven miles from
Intwood ; and it happened on one occasion that his father invited
Wm to join him la the pleasure of causing. A day was accord-
ingly fixed, but something occurred to induce Mr. Maslen to de-
cline going over to his father. This seemed to occasion some con-
cern to Mrs. Musket; whe went up stairs. A gentleman of the
mane of .Nash, who had been• in the habit of bringing present. of
Sower*. and arranging them for lire. Musket' in the greenhouses
happened to call in the course of the morning. and be was invited
to dine. Mis. Maslen, however, remained up stain, and on
being sent for to come to dinner, set came down stain in a state
of great agitation, and returned up again almost immediately. Mr.
Muskett followed her, and then discovered that she bad barn
engaged in writing notes. Her father was informed of what had
transpired, and it was thought expedient that she should go to his
house and remain under his protection until a further investigation
should hive-taken place. Inquiries were subsequently made, and
the result was, that Mr. Muskat thought it necessary to bring an
action against Mr. Gurney for criminal conversation. That action
was tried at 'Thetford in,the year tem when a verdict was found
for the defendant. • The Learned Cottagel would not ask the Jury
now to say that a criminal intercourse bad at that time taken place,
, assented the fact; but it was
because the Jury, by their verdict
necessary that he should state to them, that the circumstances
which bad occurred were sus% as to induce all parties colitis* that
it Would not be proper foe the lady to return to her butitaltdl
rooL and she therefore remained under the protection Mho:fa-
ther, • In a short time the suspicious which Mr. Musket' bast en.
tertabsed of a criminal intercourse having taken elate at the time
he brought the action in 111$ beanie. confirmed. An event at
length maimed which rendered it impossible for Mrs. Weaken to

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. itt.

CRAM. 11:0111.-,-107DILL V. CROCEZI.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages for cri-
minal conversation.

Mr. Sergeant Wens stated that the plaintiff was an attorney
residing at Ikhester. and the defendant was also in the legal pro-
fession, living in Gray's inn-square. He would not occupy the
attention of the Jury by many general remarks, but would tome nt.i
once to the facts of the case, from which they would be convinced '
that the plaintiff's conduct was without blame, and the defendant'i
without excuse. The plaintiff was about 28 years of age, his wife
about three years younger. They were married in the year 1125.
About one year after that time Mr. Boyden succeeded a gentleman
in business at Ikhester, in the immediate vicinity of which place the
Defendant's family resided. Shortly after the Plaintiff commenced
business, the Defendant, who was a young man (only 23 years of
age) was articled to the Plaintiff. The greatest friendship subsisted
between the families, and it was not until the summer of thk year
that Mr. BoydeU had the least idea that the Defendant had Mad
any improper acquaintance with his wife. Up to that time they
bad lived in the greatest harmony and happiness together. The
Defendant at the time alluded to had left him, and came to Lear
don. The Learned Sergeant here detiiled several facts, tending
to prove the criminal connection between the Defendant and Mrs.
Boyde.U.
The Jury returned a verdict of 2001. damages.
