COURT OF CHANCeRY. JULY IT•
DISbEN

This morning e Lotto CIIANCSLEAR gave Isis de-
chum at great le•il..111 in the important case Maunder
and Stewart v. Pearson and others. respecting a Pro-
testat.t Dissent:ng Meeting house at Wolverhampton.
His Lordship di.solved the iiijunctisol, uponthr un-
derstanding feat securit: would b given for the dt;e
appropriation of thelunds. His Lordship then re-
ferred to the Master, to inquire—lst, In whom was
the legal possession of the Meeting.house.now vested? I
2.11 y, What were dw doctrines intended to be pre +cited
in it by the sounder, Ind whether these doctrines were
now prel‘hed?—His Lor Isoip set.ned to dock that
LlR4ariams could not be called Proimant Dino:seri ;
and that, as the law now stood, the Court could not
interfere on behalf of a S )clety of Unitarians.
JULY NANViIIi.S W. JiiIINSTOtit.
Mr. LICACH S:alleci this was a Motion on the part
or the Noble plaintiff, praying his Lordship to relieve
hint from being a truso.e to the will and a deed
which hid been executed by the late Sir John Low-
let ,Isti•tune . He dmturd oaring acted as a
trustee on the Weymouth estate, in tonjonction with
Ins Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, but
he had not done so on any occasion with respect to
the estates in Sc•aland. America, or the West In-
dies. The only difficulty In this cast being the Scots
law, he (Mr. Leach) moved that the case be referr d
to the Master, to report whether according to the
:ic..ts law a trustee. ,ould be relieved from his trust?

LOltD CIIANCELLOW-Y.:u put it whether the tru-tb
c.en he executed without his acting according to the
.Icuh 14w ?

Mr. Leech.—Certainly. my Lord.
Mr. BELL said, he appeared for his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cumberland, whu wished also► to
be relieved, and who admitted be had aced as
trustee.

Mr. LEACH had no objection to include his Royal
Highness in the minutes.
The LoltD CHANCULOR thought this would be the
best way, at,d theretose he granted the motion:

ABUSE OF CHARIrABLE FUNDS.

THE ATToIiNSV-4311,%E1tA1. O. GRAHAM AND OTHERS.

Sir SAMUEL Rossixt.v stated this W.'S an informa-
tion by ins tslajesty's Attorney-General, at the com-
plaint of Joseph Ham and Susannah Ann Austen,
against Thomas Graham and miters, the Mayor and
Aldermen of Foivey. It appeared from the state-
ment of the loarned Counsel, that this Corporation
of Fuwey had no longer any existence, but the de-
fendants still exercised the powers which the Corpo-
ration had enjoyed over some charitable estates. To
restrain them from exercising these powers, and to
have a Receiver appointed, was the object of the pre-
seat applicatiou. The charter of this town had been,
it appeared, renewed from time to time, but now it
had been annulled. The estates had about the time
of Henry VI. been left to certain trustees, and when
the charter was renewed in 1690, some of those trus-
tees being on-embers of the Corporation, that body
had assumed the direction of the charities. It was
agreed that the leases of the estates should not exceed
21 years, but they had been lvt at a most singular
rent, tor though they were worth at least a-2au a
year, they o',ly produced 48 Is. It Vll%obriutis that
had they been let as they ought to have been, there
would have existed no necessity for the poor-rates in
that district being so heavy* es they now actually
were. In add tam to this abuse of then powers, the
defendants were also charged with commuting much
waste on the premises. They said in defence that toe
money W4ll not received by them, but by the Church-

wardens—but the Court had no need to be reminded
that the question now was,not who received the rents
but bn.e it cam: to pass that solittle WAS recesve,q—
In their application for a new charter from his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent, the defendants had
stated, as one ground for obtaining that charter, that
they had charities to superintend ;, but the question
new was, whether thvy were to be allowed to go on
with tnis gross abase of lands which had been vested
in trustees, solely for charitable purposesi He con-
, cludvd by moving for the tnittliction, and fur a fe-
-1 •
cetves being ago.iiited.
Mr. H4roas,4lle other side, said it was' the first,
lime he had eves
,heard his Lordship called on to re•
strain piribiis` Fri receiving money who receiie,d,
none; and ihilias also struck with the general natuie
of the application, because no person had dared to
swear chat it was made for the protection of the cha-
rity against abuse. The funds had been regularly
administered since the defendants had come into the

man4gensent of them. His Lord,hip knew that at i
alum periods there were always persons rea.ly to
catch at,any imperfection in the state ut a Corporal
no i, and to avail themselves of th.tt imperfection.
This Was the case with respect to the Borough before
them, which had been deprived it its charter by se-
veral judwneirs on some quo warrant° of the King's
Bench. Nu complaint could possibly exist for mis-
conduct, and no proof could be adduced olany cor-
rupt use of the funds helongin., to the CDRELY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it important the
date an the decisions at the King's Bench was known,
as by them the Corporation being dissolved, the seal
of that body could no longer be used, and therefore
every lease granted since that was null and void.
Sir SAMUEL Ro ..rwr. 1 unuerstand, my Lord,
that free burgesses constituted an integral part of the
Corporation, and as there had been none of that itio.3l
fur above silty years, the charter had been nullified
by the King's Bench.
1 Mr. HART proceeded.—The books chewed that the
rents of that estate bad been drawn by the Church-
bardens ever since 1684. It was rather curious to

notice the time taken for bringing on this charge. It
was when the charter bad been nullified, and when
a petition. wpa4efore the Attorney-General for grant-
ing a new charter. This charge was brought solely
for the purpose of prejudging that question betore the
AttorneytGeoeral;' is, had it been for a• different
purpose, whyhad'tbe plaintiffs,
,who knew the eiist.:
once of these isbUses, not brought them forward.*
an -earlier period, and called the attention of 'the
Court to them ?
The Lotto CHANCELLOR—Motives cannot come'
into consideration here. I remember well having
heard old Mr. Justice Duller say, that if he was to
dispense with deciding on the rights of Corporations
because he did nut approve of motives, he would
have a whole lite of holidays.
Sir S. ROMILLY replied with much ability, and

r said, he had no hesitation in admitting that this hn.
siness was now brought forward in cirsequence of
th.• applic forfors new chaser. But was it an ar-
gument in favour of the detendant that this was Ito.
c use? or could this he ary just.ficatian of the fl ►gran.
anuses wtsich existed in that place respecting this
Charity? The Churchwardens did not receive the
wliolo money, because there were various tolls and I
of fairs and markets which had been paid to the I
May"r. Besides, the persons defending in this cause
stOod in what was termed by the Scots 14W :fte: sue-
cessArtis, for they were obviously Iroking ft►rward to
tqir tr-ing replaced in the direction of the Charity,
should the charter he renewed to that mischievous,
or at least useless Corporation. Unless a Receiver
%vas appointed, suhat person was there to renew the
leases which were now falling in, or the money due
to the Ch city ? It was singular to argue in favour of
abuses nom their long durati,.n, for if this argument
was all .wed, it would he As act of indemnity in fa-
vour of all who abused public trusts.
The Loan CHANCELLOR did not see how it fol-
' lowed, that because the. Corporation had once had the
direction of the Charities, that the same would be the
ease it a new charter was granted; and he did not
apprehend it was in the power of the Crown to invest
charitable estates in any Corporation.
Mr. HART denied that he had defended the esis•
tence of any abuses on the ground of their lung coot-
tinu.ance.

The Loan CHANCELLOR—Hand me the affidavits,
which 1 shall read, and „give you my judgment on
coming int., Court to morrow morning.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, JULY 16.
WOOD v. 11AVILIIS.

This was An action on a boll of exchange for £250
drawn in May 1811, with another for the s.me
amount, by a Colonel Morgan, up' n a Mr. Carpue,
At 75 days after date, and accepted by the latter, pay-
able at the bank of Messrs Wright and Co. London.
but payment WAS refused Mr. Carpue, whose affairs
became embarrassed, died some con►iderable lime
some on the Fleet Prison.

l'he plaintiff, who appeared to be a baker in Black-
friars-road, Surrey, was an indorsee of this bill; and
the defendant. who is a clergyman, at Brentwood,
Essex, and husband to the sister and administratrix to
the deceased acceptor.' pleaded in detente to the
action, that the bill was accepted in a gambling
transaction, and therefore void.
The merits of the ease were substantially these.:r.-
In the year 1811, Mr. Carpue, a young Gentleman
if considerable property, and recently come of age,
was in the Writ of association with men of fashion-
able dissipation, high play, and desperate fortunes, at
the west end of the town, and amongst others with a
Colonel Morgan of the 9th Foot, and son to General
Morgan, a Captain Wallis, a Mr. l'wysden, a Mr.
Dalrymple, and others. In the month of May I
he lodged with them at Durant's hotel, where they
dined together on the 12th of that month, as was
proved in evidence by a witness named Agnew; Clem
a waiter in the betel, who stated that those Gentle-
men after dinner, drank wine together until past ten
at night, when Mr. TwysJen ordered a coach to be
called, into which they all went, and the coachman
was ordered by them to drive to Hell. meaning a no•
onions gamblinghouse, NO. 77, St. James's-street.
kept by a person. named Bennet, and well known to
ad the hat knry-coAchnsen in London. Colonel Moe.
gait, Mr. Twysden, and Mr. Carpue, returned to the
hotel tbout halt-past one in the morning. when the
wines,, the o .ly person up in the house, was ordered
to get supper, which he did. in the mean tune Mr.
Carpue, who was n it sober, called for a candle to go
up stairs to his room, and while he was away Colo-
nel Morgan desired the witness to get some stamps.
Witness answered it was impossible at that late hour ;
but Mr. 'Pwysden ordered him t i go tip to hie foam
and bring down. two Five-shil:ing. stamps, which the
witness had bought for hum toe preceding morning,
and the witness did so. tin Mr. Carptee's return to
the supper-room,. witness heard Coice.el Morgan
say to him, that he must pass to hint some acknow-
ledgment for the sum which he had lost to him (Mr.
Morgan) that night Mr. Carpue said he had'a el.
cepted, so ma y bills already, and which were coming'
due, he thou-01 it would be useless to pAss. any more
'now, as he mated they would not be honaured't but
Mr. Morgan proposed they should be drawn at a
long date : and, accordingly. he drew two bills, the
one at two months for *2.50, arid the other at 75
days.for the like sum, but they were post dated, as of
the lst July toilowing, and .r. Carpue accepted
them, payable at Wright's and Co. He had lost
before, in the course of a few months, between
twenty and thirty thousand pounds, and that night
about eight hundred pounds.. The bilis because due
but were dishonoured, and ,Mr. Carpue was alter-
wards arrested, upon other accounts, and imprisoned
in the Fleet, where he died since, at the age of 23
His sister, the wife of the..defendant, took out admi-
nistration to him, and those bills being tendered for
payment to the defendant, they were refused upon
the ground now pleaded.. An action, however, was
brought upon one of them, in this Court, at the suit

defendant in the present action; and Mr. Vincent,
examined in evidence, deposed that Philpoi, the
plaintiff in the former action, had presented to him
both bide, ,which he said were passed to him by Mr.
Bennet, keeping a gambling-house. at No. 77, St.
James's street. and desiring Mr. Vincent to proceed
in them as for his Philpot's account.
Plailpot was called, and in his examination said he
was a Navy Agent, .and that he had received one of
those bills, which was his own, from Bennet; but
that he held the other as the property of Mr. Wood,
,the present plaintiff, and had them in his possession
,since 1815 ; and that he told Mr. Vincent so, and
did not say the bills were both his own property, and
that Mr. Vincent took copies of both bills.
On his cross-examination by Mr. GURNEY, he ad-
mitted lie kept a public-bouse these 14 or 15 years
in Swithin's-lane, and the reason why he did not
apply to Mr. Bennet for payment, who passed him
the bill he before sued for, was because he did not
chum it. He did not know a Mr. Bennet as the
keeper of a gambling-house in St. James's-street, but
always thought he lived in Jermyn-street.
