LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nemesis le,
ascoasaa's urea: la wsuester's onancare.
' His Lordship wished Mr. Hart and Mr. Shadwell to
communicate to their respective clients that he felt
bound to postpone giving judgment in Mr. Wellesley's
case until Monday, on the around that Saturday was
the day that had been appointed for the Recorder to
make his Report to his Majesty; and, as there were no
less than the fates of forty capital convicts to be disposed
of on that day, every moment of time his Lordship
should be able possibly to apply to any thing at home,
from this moment till then, would have to be devoted
to what ought to be the important result of that day.

His LORDSHIP stated, that in this case a Gentleman
born in Holland left it in his youth, and went to Por-
tugal, where he lived for many years, and died intes-
tate. His widow and one child survived him. His widow
was an English woman, and the question in this Court,
about the property of the intestate was, who was entitled
to the property be had left, which had been sent to this
country ? This involved the question of domicile. The
matter had been referred to arbitration, and it turned
out that the arbitrator (Mr. Roupel) bad decided
the domicile to have been in Holland. Whether this
decision was tight or wrong, the arbitrator had the
power of making the decision; and, as the appeal had
been altogether on another point, bis Lordship felt him.
self bound by the answer, so that be could only confirm
the Vice Chancellor's judgment.

Mr. Seant.srr said that he was instructed, on the part
of his Noble client, to move the Court for a rule to shew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against the defendant, who by his affidavits, as filed at
the Stamp Office acknowledged himself to be the Sole
proprietor and Editor of a weekly Newspaper, entitled
lie Age, in a number of which Paper, of the date of
the 29th of October, a most scandalous and false libel
was published, of and concerning the Noble Lord in
question. He would read to the Court the libel,
and it would then be for their Lordships to say,
whether or not be had adduced sufficient grounds
upon which they could grant the object of his ma.
ton. (The Learned Counsel then read the libel.)
Mr. Scarlett said he was instructed by his Noble client
to deny the whole matter of libel. His Lordship swears
that be had no connexion with the Journal alluded to
in the libel, neither had be any connexion with any
sweep whatsoever, as the libel asserted ; but it admits
he did employ Mr. Molloy Westmacott to find oat, if
he could, who was the author of those scurrilous para-
graphs which were directed towards his Lordship. in
The Age, that constituted the only connexion he had
with Mr. Molloy Westmacott. ft was evident, from
the whole tabor of the libel, that Lord Glengall was the
person alluded to in its various passages.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, No% 14.
001111SAINV 0118M0111 MUMS Mt saNUflt LAWS.—Si

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as as-
signee to Branscomb,'an insolvent, to recover the sum
of 1056 f. The cause was tried before the Lord Chief
Janice at the late Sittings in London, when the Jury,
under the direction of the. Learned udge,. found for
,the plaintiff.
The declaration contained merely the usual counts
for money bad and received, and the defendant pleaded,
first, the general issue—and secondlT, his having be-
come bankrupt, and obtained his ceruficate. To this it
was replied, that this debt was contracted rater an act
of bankruptcy bad been committed by Brown, and that
such fact was well known to Branscomb, at the time he
so advanced the money. The Lord Chief Justice left
it to the Jury, and they found for the plaintiff.
MINSergeIUDVAUODAN now Moved for a rule to skew
cause why this verdict should not be set aside, and a
new trial granted, or why it should not be reduced by
reference. He relied principally upon the improbability
of Branscomb advancing money if he bad known that
Brown had committed an act of bankruptcy ; and he
contended, that his positive assertion ought to have had
more weight with the Jury than the mere conjectures
of Henley.
The Court refused tfte tole.
