Pealerns November te, ' I
Sts—Having had reason to believe, that the ac-
count given of the Bible Society's House in the News-
paper Reports, of the late Illuminations, has occa-
sioned some miscgoceptiou, both of the fact itself‘
aad also of the motives in which it originated, I trust
:You will do me the favour to insert the following ex-
,planator y statement:
From the peculiar situation of die bible Society's
House, as having a triple front, it appeared to the
residents in the house, as well as to myself, that no-
thing should be omitted by which it might be se-
cured against the violence of an effervescent and in-
discriminating populace. With the sashes and glass
(which were estimated at nearly £200) was involved
a property in Bibles and Testaments, and printing
paper, to the amount of. more than E 70,000 ; all
which must have been. put to hazard, if an attempt
had been made. to resist the clamour for a General
Illumination. umler these circumstances, a single
row, not of variegated;' but of uniform lamps, was
suspemied over.the windows of the first floor only,
both in the front and the back of the house: and this
was not done till the neighbourhood had set the ex-
ample, and compliance appeared inevitable.
I have thought it due to the character of the So-
ciety, and the feelings of its members, to furnish the
foregoing explanation; and I trust it will prove sa-
tisfactory to those, who, judging froM the manner
and the connection in which the fart was brought
forward, may have been led to construe that as an
expression of sentiment, which was simply and solely
a measure of precaution.—l arn,.. Sir, your humble
servant, JO/IN OwEN, Scc.

LAW ANTELAIGENCE.

c

VICE CHANCELLOR'S.; tOURT, NOVEMBER 17.
LORD MID wOSILIMOYON e. It..WOSILIIIGYOU. •
Mr. Honiqe moved an-injunction to restrain T.
Jones from taking out an-execution on a verdict that
he had obtained in a Court of Law
The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked was Jones, a party
to this suit? .• . •
Mr. Hoftsis said he was not ; it was a bill of inter-
pleader, for the purpose of having the assets ol'a tes-
tator distributed among his creditors. The testator,
T. Womlington, had occupied a small farm in Lei-
cestershire, which he was obliged to give up on ac-
count of ill-health, and retired to a village in the
neighbourhood, where he rented a small house at £6
a-year. He had contracted some small debts, but
their being owing to poor people made it of conse-
quence to them, and on the death of the testator his
assets would not mole than discharge them. Mr.
Jones, however, made a demand of £4OO for drugs,
administered by him to the testator, which was re-
sisted by the defendant, the executor. It afterwards
appeared that the testator, in his life-time, had paid
Mr. Jones £lOO, which reduced his demand to £3OO.
He refused to furnish an account. The executor,
who was also a creditor of the testator to the amount
of £lO, offered to give up his claim against the assets,
and pay Mr. Jones £2OO if hegive him a receipt in
full ; this he retitle', but offered to take 1:210, which
not being cor,plied with, he brought his action
against the executor for £3OO. and then, for the first
time, were the items of his account ftrzni.hed by a
bill of particulars; and such items, he supposed, had
never been before heard of in the annals of medicine.,
He would state, to his Honour. a few of them. The'
testator's complaint was a droysii—the first charge
was—" To 6,738 draughts furnuhed to the testator."
The other items consisted of •a ixtures boluses, and
pills, to double that amount. The action was tried
at the last Assizes at Leicester, and Mr. Jones ob.•
tamed a verdict Ins £2.,0, the executor, by his plea,
having admitted assets of the testator to that amount,
although, in fact, they were £4O short of it—but
having offered to pay Jones the £2OO, he put in his
plea. lie- moved this on the grounds that Jones
ought not to have put the testator's estate to the ex-
pense of the action, *hen.he was offered to be paid
the 42200 before it was brought. Under these con-
siderations, he trusted that his Honour would grantl
the injunction.
Mr. BANES, Counsel for Jones, said that a Cant
of Equity never granted the relief sought for by this
motion, where the person applying for it had put
a false plea to the action at law, which was the case
here—the executor pleaded that there were ouly assets
of the testator to the amount of £,200, and the Jury
had found that there were assets to the amount of
020, which appeared from the postea.
The Vint-erstrefixon.—Under these circum-
stances, I cannot do more than restrain Mr. Jones
from levying under the execution on the assets ofli
the testator. I cannot prevent his going against the
executor, for I cannot assist the executor in his I
own wrong.
Mr. Hors said, he had examined the pogo, and
he doubted very much whether the Jury had re-'
turned assets to the amount of ENO, as that part
of the poste i had been interlined, and locked very
suspicious.
The VICE-CH,VNCELLOR.—You had better inquire
into this, Mr. Horne, and let the motion stand over
until you have made that inquiry. In the meantime,
Mr. Banes, your client may enter up his judgment at
law, and when he has obtained it let him come here.
Further consideration postponed.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER is.
THE KING v. JANE CARLILE.
Mr.LITTLEDALIE moved that this defendant might
plead to an information for a libel, and the defend-
ant accordingly appeared in Court ; but the Judges
being obliged to meet their brethren in the Exchequer
Chamber at two o'clock, and that hour having ar-
rived, the case was ordered to stand over.
714 Z KING v. CARTWRiGHT AND WOOLER. .
These defendants attended the Court in the morn-
ing, in order to be present during a motion by Mr.
HILL for a new trial; but the CHIEF BARON, who pre-
sided on their trial, not having made his report,. the
case was ordered to stand over to a future day.
TUE KING v. HENRY ZLRHAW,
Mr. PRINCE? moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus
to bring up the defendant from Lancaster jail, to
which he was committed on a charge of rape upon
his servant. The Learned Counsel stated, that the
deposition of the woman was not made until a con-
siderable time Sifter the offence was said to be corn-
mitted; and there were other circumstances he could
state on Monday, which he had no doubt would in-
duce.the Court to grant his motion.—Rule granted.

BOXING.
A further deposit was made oh llstirsday evening last, at the
Castle Tavern, Holborn, between the. bacleri-of Jost. Hudson
and Prt7&ies, for thE battle on •the.stis of December. The Ist=
ter, it seems, is muchfaitssed, but the ?Mowing sties say as how, a
fried man should always be backed against a stranger. The fight
between the Gtusey and ferric, it is thought, will prove a very
pretty one; but the Lipsey is the faiourite, at 5 and 6 to 4.
