COURT OF CUAN*CERY, MAY 1.
PREBBLE V. BOGHIIRST.
The LoRD CHANCELLOR came into Court, attended
by Mr. Justice ABBOT and Chief Baron RICHARD..,
who proceeded to give their opinions on this case.
Mr. Justite ABBOT delivered his in the first in-
, stance. It was a question upon the construction of
a Bond for 10001. executed by John Prebble upon
his marriage with Mary Townshend. By that Bond
he bound himself to pay IQOO/. and also to settle
upon her, or in case of her death, upon the children
of the marriage, such real estate as should come to
his possession at any time during the term of his na-
tural life. The wife died during the life-time of her
husband, J. Prebble, and he married again and had
a second family, not having, according to the condi-
tion of the Bond, settled upon the children of his
first wife a real estate, which had come to his pos-
session subsequent to his first marriage. The princi-
pal point was, whether the children of the first mar-
riage were entitled to have his real estate settled upon
them, or whether the property was to go to the chil-
dren of the second marriage? The question had been
referred to the—Court of' Common Pleas, and the
Judges were there unanimously of opinion, that the
children of the .first marriage were only entitled to
have such real property settled upon them, as the fa-
ther was entitled to during the marriage.
Mr. Justice ABBOT, in delivering his judgment,
expressed himself of a ditlerent opinion : he stated
his reasons at large for the opinion he had fovned,'
that the children of Mary Townshend were entitled
to have all the real property settled upon them, which
at any period during their ather's natural life he had
become possessed of.
Chief- Baron RICHARD; expressed himself precisely.
to the same eff,ect. Both the Learned Judges ac-,
cordingly differing.from the judgment of the Court
of Common Pleas,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that where the opi-
nions of six learned and eminent men were so much
at variance, it would not be proper for him to come
to any final judgment, until he had well weighed in
his rn n 1 the reasons which had been given by each;
that he would do he: •••een this and Monday morning,
at which time, upon his co ning into Court, he wculd
let the parties know what !is judgment was.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY Y.
ABJURATLON

While a young Gentle nan, whose articles of Clerk-
ship had expired, was t eking the usual oath of ab-
juration, denying cc tha. damnable doctrine and po-
sition, that Princes, excommunicated by the Pope,
may be deposed or mu:dered," a smile passed over
his countenance. . .

Mr. Justice BAILEY, perceiving it, inunediately,
ordered that he sho ild be.rejected for the present,
and not be allowed to take the oaths necessary for
his admission until he produced an affidavit to his
moral and religious character.
JUDGMENT OE THE COURT.

Theltev. William Easton, James Ce: rard, Richard
Randall, George Lever, James Trowbridge, William
Ford, Joseph White, and another, were brought up
to receive the judgment of the Court, having been
found guilty at the Salisbury Assizes, before Mr.
Justice 110LROYD, of a riot with intent to disturb a
Dissenting Congregation, assembled for tke purposes
of religious worship, in a house duly licensed, at An-
stey, on the 31st of December, 1816. The Learned
Judge read the notes which he took at the trial, from
which it appeared, that a numerous mob had as-
sembled at the front of William Butt's cottage, at
Anstey, in which the Rev. Mr. Hopkins was preach-
ing on the evening in question, where they com-
menced dancing, whistling, singing, blowing cow-
horns, shaking sheep-bells and making other noises,
and that the defendants were present aiding and as-
sisting therein : that these disturbances prevented the
possibility of 'performing divine service on that and
other occasions. 11.tes house being duly licensed,
the present prosecution was brought. to prevent in-
terruption in future.
Mr. Easton's affidavit was put in and read ; in
which he stated, that he had been, for upwards of 30
years, curate of Anstey, and during that time had
never, on any occasion, had the slightest disagree-
ment with any of, his parishioners, whether Dissen-
ters or of any other religious persuasion. On the day
in question, he was going
.down to the house of the
defendant Gerrard, respecting some hooks for a Sun-
day school, and knew nothing of the meeting in
question ; whilst at Mr. Gerrard's house, several of
the parishioners came and complained of the inter-
ruption they had received from the Dissenters near
Butt's house: this induced them to go to the spot,
when a: person named Jay, a friend of Hopkins,
came up to him, and asked who he was? Mr. Easton
said he was the plergyman of the parish. Jay replied,
You the clergyman of the parish? If you are, you
do not preach the gospel." This address, and other
similar expressions, did irritate him ; and he con-
fessed he did not use all the exertions he might have
done to repress the noise made by his parishioners,
whO were dancing on what was denominated the
dancing-place, near Butt's cottage ; he now much
regretted having been thus betrayed by his feeling
into an unjustifiable impropriety of conduct, which
he had never ceased to lament. Since the trial, he
had made application to the prosecutors of this in-
dictinent, who were, he understood, a Society in-
London, to know what 1:e could do to satisfy them.,
The answer returned was, that nothing short- of al
public apology in the Newspapers would be accepted.
This was a degradation which he trusted their Lord-
ships would consider he was justified in refusing to
undergo, and he had rather preferred throwing lnrn-i
self on the mercy and justice of their Lordships.
The affidavit of Gerrard was also read, in which
he stated that he had acted without any premedita-'
non, and greatly regretted what he had done ; that
he had since the trial- also applied to the prosecutors
for mercy. The terms held out to him were to pay,
all the expenses of the prosecution, to give 101. to
the Salisbury Infirmary, to make a public apology
in the newspapers, and to enter into sureties to ap-
pear for judgment when called on. These were
terms he was not able to comply with, and he ap-
plied for some modification of them ; the answer he
received was an order to attend to receive judgment.
Affidavits were put in froiti all the defendants, ex-
pressing their contrition, and affidavits to their cha-
racters were also read.

meditated on the part either of Mr. Laston or of
Gerrard, adjudged that Easton should pay a fine of

ANID OF lITTORII4II TORO= BANC OF lIICLAIID NOTIPS.
William Orenhamo, convicted of uttei ing a forged
bill of exchange, was first placed at the bar.
Cities BARON—‘, William Ocenham, you have
been convicted of uttering a forged bill of exchange,
well knowing. at the time you uttered it that it was
[ forged. The crime of which yon have been con-
victed, on the most satisfactory evidence, by a most
intelligent Jury, is a crime the most dangerous to
[society, and which loudly calls for the highest pu-
nishment that the law can inflict; for nJ man, in a
commercial country like this, can by any care, ef-
fectually protect himself from such attempts. If
there should be any disposition at the foot of the
Throne to extend its mercy towards you, I shall re-
joice : but of this I can offer you no assurance, and
if there should be any mitigation of your sentence,'
it will only be on condition of your being for ever
removed from this country. His Lordship then
pasted upon him the last sentence of the law in the
usual terms. _ _

The following prisoners were then placed at the
bar :—Wm. Steicard,t Thomas enrry,-h Margaret
M‘Dotud,t Robert Wardlaw,t Redmond Moss, ilaii-
nah Mayor, and John Vaughan, convicted of uttering
forged Bank of England Notes: and George Heskitt,t
convicted of burglary and horse-stealing.
The CHIEF BARON, addressing by name the first
seven prisoners, thus proceeded—. You have been
severally convicted of uttering forged Bank of Eng-
land Notes, knowing them to be forged ; the law
has affixed to this crime the punishment of death,
and it is an offence which, on account of its injuri-
ous consequences to society, requires the infliction of
the highest punishment. It is a practice which must
be repressed ; and if this cannot be effected by other
means, it must be done by visiting it with the utmost
severity of the law, for the negociation of forged
notes is the strongest and most extensive mode ofl
plundering the public which can be resorted to, and
it is one against which no or prudence can be
an effectual protection. I ere
the last Assizes, the,
very melancholy duty, in this place, of passing the
sentence I am now about to pass upon you, upon a
number of persons convicted of this offence, and
!which sentence was carried into effect with respect to
most of them ; but Ido not perceive that this sad ex-
ample has been attended with any advantage, or that it
has produced any diminatioa in the number of ?fenders
of this description; you have not taken warning
from it; for I observe that your offences are all sub-
sequent to the last Assizes. It is, therefore, neces-
sary that examples should still continue to be made;
and it is my duty to tell you that some of you, nay,.
that most of you, beyond all question, must suffer
the full sentence of the law."
• This prisoner was so unwell, that he was obliged to be In-
putted into Court, and 'placed in a chair until sentence was
passed upon hint.
f The prisoners thus marked were left for execution, and ref-
ftred the sentence of the law on Saturday sennight, at Lancaster.

CitnLnuALL,--FortotnßANK-sonts.—Benjamin
Goodyear. and Mary Hakim, who were charged on
Monday last with tendering a forged Si. Bank-note
to Mr. Guest, a pawnbroker, in Fleet-market, were
brought up for re-examination on Saturday before Mr.
Alderman JOSHUA JONATHAN SMITH, when MIN
WESTWooro, the Solicitor to the Bank, attended, and
brought forward an additional charge against the
male prisoner, Goodyear. It was for passing a forged
1/. note to a grocer in Bunhill-row, named Hawes, in
the month or March last ; and the facts being fully
substantiated, Mr. WYSTWOOD called one of the Bank
Inspectors to prove the note a forgery; whorl the Ma-
' gistrate observed, that he thought the best evidence
possible ought to be produced, and this could be done
only by the Cashier who actually signed the note.
Mr. Weitwood.-1 presume, Sir, you do nest mean to object to
that description of evidence with which the Judges are satisfied?
lilaglstrate.—Why, since these peopk were brought up last, I
have looked into several cases, and I certainly do not find that the
evidence of an Inspector, on this point, has Leer been decidedly
objected to ; but perhaps the thing has not been much thought of.
Mr. Fish thrn came forward, and was desired by the Magis.
trate to look at the note, which he did, and declared it to be a
fPrEerY . —.- -

kaii,trate.—What do you call yourself, Mr. Fish ?—.oge of
the Inspectors of Forged Notes in the Sauk of England.
How do you know that note to be a forgery ?—lt purports to
be signed by Mr. Staples, and I am sure it Was not deed by hint.
Mr. Staples is one of the Cashiers, I suppose ?-ISes : he is one
of the signers of small notes. _ _ _ _

Why are you sure it is not written by Mr. Staples; have you
ever seen him write?—Very frequently.
The Magistrate then asked Mr. Westwood if be 'galled the
rrl,nber Goodyear to be remanded for further examination; for,
as for the woman, he thought there was nothing to detain her.
Mr. Westwood..—l certainly do wish him to be remanded. and
for particular reasons, which it would not be prudent for me to
state publicly; btt I will explain to you in private if you. please.
The female prisoner was then discharged, after pro-
miOng to appear when called upon ; and at the re-
quest of Mr. Westwood, Goodyear was remanded.
QUIZN•SQUARIL—Mr. Meek, a publican, in Little
Windmill-street, was charged with refusing quarters
to a private in the 3d Guards. The defence was, that
having no accommodation, he had given him ss. a
week to procure him a bed, and had afterwards pro-
cured hial one himself, at a public house in Carnaby-
street, which he tad refused to accept. The Magis-
trate observed, that no arrangement, except by mu-
tual consent, could absolve a publican from the ac-
commodation of a billeted soldier in his own house ;
he must therefore takc.him in.

fined in Bury gaol, for espousing two wives. raised
