COURT or CHANCIIRT.-.—A few days ago a Gen-
tleman having addreffed the LORD CRANCELLOR, re.
Wive to the hurley of Mrs. Sarah Mauvillain, of
Egli Sheen, he elated, on that occafion, that a pe-
tition had been prefented to his Lord(hip two years
ago, hut that no procedure had taken place upon it,
the confequence of which was, that the property of
the lunatic was by no means fecured or preferved ;
on the contrary, it was entirely under the controul
of certain perfons who were wantonly fquandering it
The Loan CHANCILLOR had ordered the cafe to be
fet down again; and Lady King, the elder filler of
Mrs. Mannikin, to prefent another petition.
Mr. Macmahon, the Gentleman who had recalled
the bufinefs to the recollellion of the LORD CHANCE L.
Loa, and who was the huiband of Lady King, pre-
rented a new petition yellerday morning.

The Loan CHAMCILLOR having ixrded the peti.
don, exprefled his indignation at its contems. Mr.
Monahan anfwered. that the petition had been pre-'
feasted by his Lordthip's permillion. His Lordtbip
replied, that he had given leave fora new petition,
but that he had given no authority for the feurrilons
libel it contained, sn arraigning and attacking the juf-
lice of the Court, or of reviewing its proceedings.—
He ordered the petition to be withdrawn.; obferving,
that if a decent ante was prefented, he fhould have no
objedlion to hear it, and in the mean time made an
order fat the attendance of Mr. Macmahon, and the
Connie), tomorrow morning, at nine o'cl..cic.
At Leictflet Affixes, Mr. Juflice Rooks and a (pc.
