COURT O CHANCERY, MARCH N.

'UMW (LATe INADet2 O. DUDLEY AND OTHERS.
Mr. LIAO; stated, at a difficulty had arisen in
obtaining the sum of 4500, ordered by his Lordship
to be paid to Mrs. Baseley, as a necessary provision
for her aecouchement. It appeared, the trustees to
the property were not parties to the cause, and of
course were not under the direction of the Court.—
Mr. Gtegson and Mr. Samoa, the trustees, be had
so doubt, were disposed to fulfil the intention of his
Lordship; bat it was necessary, for security, to have
the order drawn up with the consent of all parties,
and that it should be made payable to the petitioner,
for her own use.

The LORD Cwuscat,toa.—u I do not apprehend
any difficulty in-obtaining the money under an order
thus shaped: the only difficulty I had formerly was,
with respect to the fund in the Chancellor's Court at
Durham."

Sir AUNI/11 Presort. on the part of the trustees,
consented, and the order was directed to be drawn
up accordingly.

Mr. HAAT requested that his Lordship would grant
an order in these causes. It would, he was sure, give
his Lordship pleasure, when be beard that those par-
ties had come to a proper knowledge of their own in-
terests, and wished to leave the differences between
them to arbitration. The order be bad to ask was,
that all matters in dispu.e might be referred to two
persons, with liberty to call in a third, and they to
be named by the Lord Chamberlain, out of six per-
sons to be named by the parties, and to have full
power to settle all differences relative to the inte-
rests of Messrs. Colman, Morris, and Winston, in the
Theatre.

The LORD CHANCELLOIou Let it be SO."
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DUBLIN.
SAIIDOZT KIRWIN 9. )ItAL RiDDY.
_ _

This was an action of a very novel nature, brought
to recover the sum of £lOO, the amount of a reward
offered by public advertisement, to the finder (if a
poor person) of Bank-notes to the amount of AMIGO.
The pleadings were opened by Mr. LATOUCUE,
and the plaintiff's case was very ably stated by Mr.
Gomm, who observed, that the plaintiff, Bridget Kir-
win, was a very poor woman, of an inferior rank in
life, and the defendant. Neal Reddy, an opulent gro-
cer in Thomas•street.

The Bank-notes, for which the reward of £lOO
was -offered, were found by the plaintiff, who imme-
diately caused dregs to be restored to the defendant,
and on her claiming the promised reward, he ',fused
to pay it. Thar would this poor creature's honesty
have pissed unnoticed and unrewarded, but for the
very humane interposition of an individual, who% bp
standy on bearing her story, caused the present ac-1
Lion to be brought.
The defendant's case was stated by Mr. GRADY
with his usual ability, who contended, that the plain-
tiff was not entitled to recover, inasmuch as the
Bank-notes were lost by the defendant's Clerk, who
had offered the reward without his directions, and
consequently, that he (the defendant) bad no right
to pay it.
After the evidence had been closed oft both sides,
(from which it fully appeared that the property
found by the plaintiff was the defendant's, in whose
presence frequent mention of the 4100 reward was
made, to which he never dissented, and that defen-
dant's wife, in lieu thereof, gave to plaintiff a sum of
about 6s. in money, and tea and sugar to the same
amount, with a promise to make her comfortable for
life, but which was neglected,)
The Cony Batton alarged the Jury to find for the
plaintiff; who, without quitting the box, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff of £lOO, and 6d. costs, to the
very great satisfaction of a crowded Court.

Yesterday afternoon tote •Judges arrived here for

the business of the County.
Till MO 9. 'OWL/ Alta- MlOlllll2.
This was an indictment for an assault against the
ddendsint Fowls, and one of his men, be being
Churchwarden of the parish of St. Mary the Virgin.
at Sandwich, for turitinK the prosecutor out of a pew
At church, on the 24th d'June last.
The of the indictment was a an of the
lease of Dudes, a gardener at Sandwich, and be
elided that he was not a parishioner of St. Mary, but
had been so formerly, but that for many years bshad
used a particular pew In the church of St. Mary, that
Fowle, one of the defendants, was Churchwarden of
St. Mary ; that oa Sunday, the 24th of June last, he
was at church, when the defendant Fowls came to
him, and said that he must not sit in that pew, for
that it was wanted for another family ; he refused to
go out, unless he was compelled ; upon which the'
defendant went away, and brought with him two of
his workmen, be being a brewer at Sandwich, wile
came in their working dresses, and seizing him by
the collar, dragged him out of the pew, and along
the aile, until they got him to the church door, and
then they thrust him out.
On cross-examination, he admitted that the defen-
dant had been with him before, and told him that the
pew in questiOn was wanted for a Captain Warner,
who had taken a house in the town, which had long
been untenanted that the defendant had also offered
him a seat in his own pew, which was opposite, but
that he preferred sitting in his old pew. He had not
been an inhabitant of the parish for many years, and
be also admitted that he had gone to church early
that morning because he knew that Captain Warner
had used that pew the Sunday before. The defen-
dant first asked hint if he would go out ? be said, no,
unless he Was compelled to go by force. That the
defendant came with his two men in their working
dresses, one of them with a constable's staff, as
forced him out. In doing this the congregation was
much disturbed, and several persons cried out Shame.
The statement of his being thus forced out was
confirmed by a Mr. Stuart, a Magistrate of the place.
Mr. MAMMA'', for the defendant, contended, that
the prosecutor, not being an inhabitant, had no right
to the pew in question—that the Rector and Church-
wardens had a right to regulate the seats in churcl,
sad because the seat in question was wanted, for
Captain Warner's family, who had come to reside in
the parish. The prosecutor was told be could not
have the pew, but that be had told the prosecutor he
should be accommodated in his own pew ; but the

old man obstinately persisted in going io the disputed
place, and, therefore, the defendant, Fowle, as Church-
warden, removed him from the place.
Mr. Justice BAYLRY said, the prosecutor had
c'early no right to intrude into that pew, but they
did wrong in removing in the indecent manner they
did. They should have locked the pew ; and, be-
sides, if they had a right to remove him from the
pew, they had no right to turn him out of the church,
which they bad also dont. In this they had clearly
exceeded their authority, and upon this ground alone
there must be a verdict against them. Verdict--
Guilty.
YORK.

At the York Assizes jaw in Smith and Matting
Noraags were charged with burglariously entering
into the dwelling house of Mr. Parker, of Sheffield,
and stealing therefrom a plated tea pot, two child's
caps and a bonnet, and several other articles.—The
Jury, without retiring, found Smith guilty, and ac-
quitted Homage.—The prisoners were then tried
upon another indictment for burglary, and no evi-
dence being given, they were, of course, acquitted.—
The prisoners were afterwards tried on a charge of
sacrilege, in stealing from the parish church of Shef-
field a great variety of articles, wine, surplices, gowns,
great coats, kc.—The evidence against the prisoners
was confined to the finding in their possession, upon
the search instituted in consequence of Mr. Parker's
robbery, a number of the articles which had been
stolen from the church about 14 dirt before. The
prisoners were both—Acquitted.
