THE

LADY.

A sINTCM AT ♦N ILECTIOK.
omb•••

Meekly she sat—while to the crowd
Her lord spoke well, with truth :moved;
Upso her brow and dimpled cheek
• calmness reign'd--no words can speak;
At times, her eye shot forth a ray
Which en her friends around did play ;
A smile approving oft took tofu',
Wleich lined with life her husband's fame-.
Yoe to that smile of sense he hosed
As much u to the cheering crowd :
And thee—a tsar and heaving sigh
Procialm'd her lo id lord's triumph nigh.
Al length elected, prais'd, and chaied,
Ile to his happy home repair'd,
Receiving there "that feast of soul"—
Her warm embrace—which crown'd the whole!

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY. Juror 15.
MITI v. CONINGUAM.

VICR-CHANCELLOWS COURT. JULY IS.

JURY COURT, EDINBURGH, Jon, it
LANG V. LUJ.LE.

to this case hit Lordship thought the But* family in-
tended the anauity of 6004 to be paid out of the profits
of the colliery named in the settlement ; but that if those
profits were not equal to the annuity it was a primary
trust in the deed investing 1.5,0001. to make up the
deficiency; but that the account should be settled
every year.
Mr. said. that all parties were satisfied, and the better
course would be to dismiss the bin. Assented to by aU 'parties.

CSAWSHAY IL COLLINS.
The question in this cause, his Lordship observed,
was, what interest Noble had in the property that had
accumulated under certain patents: He thought that
in all partnerships the parties should agree as to the
manner in which their affairs should be wound up, in
case of a dissolution. By law, all partnerships were a
sort of joint tenancy; but there might be an equitable
interest that did not survive; and in a county like this
it became necessary to know what rules applied to them
before they could be wound up. Some of the partners
might supply 'mosey, others labour, but a dead man
Could not supply labour. The rule must be deduced
from the circumstances of the case. In this particfilar
'case the materials were, in fact. the patents, which
were the property of Messrs. Collins, Boughton, and
Noble. Could one partner carry on a business with the
funds of a number of partners, and have the whole pro-
fits ? The patents in this case were the media of the
contract *kb Government, producing the profits; and
the partnership should have credit for the bills paid on
the separate account of Noble.
Mr. HART had rather submit to any terms than go
back. to the Master. He wished to know if, after 20
years of litigation. Mr. Noble, who was between eighty
asit.ninety, and destitute, was entitled to anything?
-Alter considerable digs:gains. it was agreed that the matter
should stand over until Wednesdey, for the ether side to say what
they claimed.
In the matter of Sir Gregory Page Turner. Mr.PHIL-
Lniona moved his Lordship to confirm the report of the
Master, appointing Sir Henry Dryden the committee.
The Loan Cstaucattos inquired If the blaster had bees at-
taxied by all parties?
Haaus—Mont certainly ; and It was necessary to ceding
the report. that Sir Henry might immediately take measures to re-
lease Sr Gregory from his unpleasant situation.

AND HOLMES O. THOMPSON AID Wilt

The patties are executors to Wm. Holmes, who left
to one of the plaintiffs (his wife) 6,0001. and to Thomp-
son's wife 3,C00L A codicil enlarged the to
his wife, giving her 10,0001. It was allegereaststthis
codicil was destroyed by Thompson,who, it was further
alleged, had done injury to the estate of the deceased,
and in his capacity of executor hid opposed the other
executors in every way he possibly could. The object
of the present motion was to restrain the defendants
from further control, and to procure the appointment of
a receiver.
Counad for the defendants opposed this motion. aneseveral
affidavits were read to show that testator was not of sound mind
when he made the codicil.. and also to sbow that Thompson had
faithfully discharged his trust as executor.
The Vice Cuascaiu.os made an order for a receiver. slowing
3lr. Thomism to oiler himself for that office.
In the case of Mackey v. Robertson, Mr. HIALD,
with the consent of the other parties, obtained leave to
put offi, until the next seal, any further proceedings, it
being agreed that the plaintiff should be furnished with
affidavits. The motion was for an injunction to restrain
the publicatibn of The Meat:Rid Magazine, and it was
also agreed between the parties that the publication of
the work in question should, in the interim, be suspended.

This was an action of damage brought at the instance
of John Lang, ship agent, residing in Grangemouth,
against Henry Ville, merchant there, for an assault
committed by the defendant upon the pursuer, on the
27th August last, by striking the pursuer on the head
with a stick or cane, whereby his head was cut, and he
was in consequence confined for several days to the
hOuse, and a surgeon attended.—Dam. laid at Itoooll.
THOMAS MAITLAND, Esq. opened the case for the
pursuer in a short speech, and called six witnesses, the
linport of whose evidence went to prove, that on' the
27th August last, while the Tug steam boat was lyin.g
at Grangemouth, and about to sail at three o'clock in
the afternoon, the punuer,and a Captain IlVishart having
some business to transact, went down into the cabin.
*The defender, Mr. Lillie, was upon deck at the time,
and interfered in the convervation between Mr. Lang
and Captain Wisisart. Mr. Lang reproved Mr. Lillie
for so interfering, in rather provoking terms, and some
altercation in ',consequence ensued. Mr. Lang stept
ashore upon tie beach or wharf, and while doing so,
used some mfpressions which Mr. Lillie considered AS-
insulting, on which he said, that if he, the pursuer, re-
peated them be would give him " a good licking." Mr
Lang did repeat these expressions, and at the same time
returned to the vessel, and had got upon the railings at.
t'se stern, when the defender, Mr. Lillie, struck the pur-
suer a blow with a stick he bad in his hand, and knocked,
off his hat, and struck him several times afterwards
severely en the bead with the stick, till the blood flowed
upon the deck of the vessel; and he continued so stalk I
ing till the stick was taken from him by• it sailor, and
thrown into the sea. The pussaer WAS inconsequence
confined for eight or nine days, and a surgeon attended
him for three or.four days.

The following is an lama froin a letter which we
received frown Officer at Smyrna:
it. Tl.
" The Rose sailed taday with a aserebant vessel as-4
der convoy for Cerigo. Nbt a Waal of any nation tad
leave this pert without convoys in tonseq_uettee of the
numerous depredations Coetimitsedby the OrepiliPrates.
An English vessel, a few days since, was plawdered,,
and every; person Its board robbed of his prtsperty.—
Our ships have now ordets to detain ,od send into
Hydra, some:other Greek pc.sriOust ' vieiti that may
he found cruising alone. There are not lesi than 18
ships of war lying here, French, Austrian, Dutch, and
English, to protect their merchant trade. Capt. Ha-
milton is gone, in the Cambripn, to investigate the
causes of piracy. The Gannet is appointed convoy to
Alexandria and back ; the Seringapatans is gone to
Malta, with thirty Greek pirates on board; the Sybille
and Brisk are expected here from Naples and Tunic.
go The Turks are about to make an attack on the
island of Syra, which, taring hitherto been neutral, has
become a place of wealth; it is otherwise of no im.
portance. The Turks assign, as a reason-for attacking
it, that the merchants have been obliged to pay a large
sum of stoney to the Greeks, and to receive a party of
Greek seichers, whereby their neutrality has been bro-
ken. The Turks, no doubt, have a strong desire to
draw a few paras from them. The Greek Admiral
Miaulis has done nothing lately: he complains. of the
want of money, and without it, be says, the cause will
yet be lost."
We have received letters from Halifax, dated. the
19 of June, which state the perfectly tranquil state of
affairs within the limas of our Army and Navy Com-
mands there, with the good health of the troops and
crews of the ships of war. Lord Dalhousie was about
to visit Nova Scotia ; the Menai, 28, Captain Houston
Steward, bad proceeded to Quebec, for his conveyance
to Halifax. TheJnpitir, 50, Rear Admiral Willoughby
Lake, was lying at Halifax. The Rifleman, in the
Gulpis of Sr. Lawrence; Doterell, in the Bay of Fundy;
Orestes and Clinker, at Newfoundland ; .Grasshopper,
