COURT OF CHANCERY, Noirsimrs 13.

SIVELLESEIT V. THE DUKE Or EXEUIPOST.
Mr. Hosat said, he had a petition to state to the
Caen is this cause, which he would request panaitaioa

to mention-to morrow.
The LORD CHANCELLOR asked the purport of the'
petition ?
Mr. House said, that Mr. Wellesley bad agreed that
the tutorship of his children should be confided to Mr.
&Pitman, and the object of the petition merely was respect--
114141 e coure of education which should be pursued.
ifsigt oa a alr• 0I N URA I. AND TUX MAYOR OF lIIATHR.
A question having arisen respecting the reference of
this cause to the Master, which was ordered a few days
ago, the matter was mentioned to the Court by consent.
it was doubted on one side, and aifirined on the other.
that she inquiry was to extend to certain fines which
had been feceived by the Corporation of Exeter, and
the manner in which they had been appl'ed.
Sir CHARLES WILTHENSLL„ Mr. Stronsu, Sad Mr.
MEDIVALA objected to the inquiry, on the grooni that
it was not necessary, and that it would incur very se-
rious expense.
Mr. AOAZ supported it, and argued that, in ordeato
the elucidation of the circumstances by which this case
mast ultimately be decided, the inquiry ought to be
kid, and that its eipense, if, as he contended it was, a
necessary one, ought not to be an obstacle.
• Set 6. Minimal:A. replied. He denied that it was
uonsisteat HA the practice of the Court, or called fat
by-tbe jie of this case, that any inquiry should be,
boa victo the fines. lie said that the calumniated and
Saadi, ilbareated Judge who had _preceded his Lordship
its the seat he now filled so ably and so honourably, had
always discountenanced such protracted inquiries, as
oply productive of expense and delay.
The Lona CHANCLLLOR said, he thought, from what'
appeared on the face of the record, the inquiry must be
made. The fines were alleged and supposed to have
been applied for public purposes, and the particulars of
their application must therefore be investigated, as well
to know what had been done with the money expended
as to ascertain what was now in the hands of the Cor
poration. He therefore directed the matter to be re-
(erred to the Master, and reserved the question of costs.

WARRIN'S SLACKING.

Mr. Hoene moved for an injunction that George
Lamerte should be restrained.brthe injunction of the
Gitlin from vending a spuricrusimitation of the cele-
brated blacking called " Warren's." The notoriety of
the plaintiff, Robert Warren, was so well established,
—his reputation had acquired such a lustre,--that it
was unnecessary for the counsel to dp marethan men-
tion his name, in order to put the Court in possession
of his character and merits. All the Trolls in the town
spoke eloquently in his praise, and he was universally
acknowledged to be the only real blackiormaker that
Europe had produced.
The LORD CHANCILLOR thought that the names of
.4 Da y and Martin" had shone in the same career.
Mr. Nonni said, that was once. Day's slnries were
eclipsed b) the brighter beams of this new luminary,
Mr. Warren: his biacking.was unrivalled, and,not to
be mentioned in the same day_ with any .body; else's.
His bill stated, in terms of urgent .and just complaint,
that the defendant, Mr. Lamette,—who wasits it were
a stranger—a foreigner to the part of the town ,whete
Mr. Warren resided,—had, with the unfair Osigo of
vending his own spurious composition in the place o
Mr. Warten's, counterfeited the bill which was pasted)
on the outside of the vessels which contained the ge.l
swine blacking, and placed them ott his own. This
was the injury for which Mr. Warren sought redress.
Lamerte lived somewhere in Goodman`i•fields, and
yet be pretended to sell blacking made at No. SO, in
the Strand. The bills were in c..urt for his Lekiship's
inspection. They were evidently piracies of the, plain-
tiffs, but the blacking, he assured his Lordship, a'as by
no means a colourable imitation of the genuine article
'prepared by Mr. Warren.
The bills were put .in, and very scrupulously and
closely esainined by the Lord Chancellor, oho asked if
there was anybody of the name of Warren connected.!
with the defendant?

Mr. Horan said, u No, there was not."
His LORDSHIP said he saw the bill stated the black-
ing to be made in one instance lky...lopathsur, and in the
other bv Robert Watren.•
Mr. HORNI said that was a mere artifice to evade the
law, and be trusted it would not succeed.
The injunction was then granted. •
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 13.
ORISSANI V. JONRS, PARRY, AND OMSK&

The plaintiff in this case, Mrs. Gtimani, prayed that
certain suns, of money, to which she war entitled under
the will of her grandfather, and which oow stood in the
name of the Accountant Genera, might be paid over
to her by the defendants, who were her trustees, and
who unjustly withheld the same from her. On the mar-
riage or the plaintiff with Mr. Grimaoi, this money,
the dividends of certain sums, had been settled upoq
her. Leaving her husband's house, she . abiconded
with a Mr..l,,hn Lancaster Lane, but, after an inter-
val of sia months, her father, one of the defendants,.

dimovering. the place of her residence, brought her to
his own house.. A second and a third time she eloped
front her father's house, with the same person, and
persisted lt► living with him.
Finding persuasion and remonstrance vain, the trus-
tees, with the . consent of the plaintiff's husband,
withheld the payment of the money due to her—
hoping, by these means, to induce :her to abandon,
her. improper. course of life, and to prevent .this
Mr. Lane horn deriving any pecuniary advantagefrom,
the seduction of the plaintiff. These were the circum-
stances of the case ;. and the plaintiff, alleging that she
had ,been for neatly five years. in a state of great dis-
tress, in consequeoceof the withholding of money justly
due to hers prayed that the Court would order the same,
with all arreartend interest/tabs forthwith paid to her
by the trustees.

Mr. Tazat.ove Appeared for the islaiotiff, and was,
arguing in support of the prayer, when .
Mr. Sootiest, 1i the trustee% interrupted him, and
consented, on behalf of his clieitsao pay the money due
to the plaintiff, }abject to such cspenses as they .might
have incurred in the business on.the plaintiff's account.
