• COURT OF CHANCERY, Dee. 19.
CLARILSON AND OTHERS V. CALCRAFT AND OTHERS.
This was a motion made by Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY,
for an order to permit divers creditors of the estate
of the late Sir Charles Sturt, deceased, to come be-
fore the Master and prove their debts, and to restrain
the Defendants, the Executors and Trustees of the
deceased, from acting upon the property till the
delfts be paid, not only those contracted before the
deed of trust executed by the deceased, in 1803, but
likewise the subsequent debts of the deceased, who
died in May last, leaving an infant son, Sir Charles
Shirt, heir in tail, under the grandfather's will, of
the estates. One ground of the motion was, that
Mr. Clarkson, the Plaintiff, and a guardian of the
infant, was the Solicitor for all the parties, in which
capacity it was utterly impossible that full justice
could be administered to the various interests con-
cerned.—The Learned Counsel admitted great ques-
tions of difficulty- to be involved in this application,
both on accoslut of the deed of settlement or trust
of 1803, and the circumstance of the deceased having
felled timber on the estates to the value of 54,0001.

withoet which all the debts could not be paid, while
I he Via.; only tenant for life.
Sir A. PIG OTT opposed the motion in liming, as
the creditors had not proved their debts, although
advertisements were issued for that purpose.
The motion was ordered to stand over.

i of Port qa!, against any will which her husband by
that law had power- to make. She filed her bill
for the sum of 15,0001. and the arrears of the divi-
I deeds.
The LORD CHANCELLOR granted the order for
payment of the arrears of the dividends, and advised

WUISTEII. V. FENWIM.
This was an action brought by the owners .of *the
sloop Friends Adventure,
.against the owners of the
brig Swift, to recover compensation in damages for
the loss of the former vessel, occasioned by the gross
negligence of the Defendant's servants.
It appeared on the part of the Plaintiff, upon the
esidence of Joseph Barker, the Master, and two of
the crew of the Friends Adventure,• that, on the
evening of the 9.2 d of December, 1810, about eight

It has not been the practice since the American
war, until the present war, to send numerous ships of
war across the Atlantic ; and now the expedient is
only resorted to from the superiority of the Ameri-
can frigates. To prevent the necessity of the em-
ployment of these great bulwarks of our maritime de-
fence on so remote a station, it may be useful to
observe, that if Government would order the gang-
ways of a few of our new heavy frigates to be i
strengthened,ancrcarronacie4to be mounted on them,
with au addition of 30 or 40 men, they would be
fully able to cope with the American frigates. •

6 to 7000 Spaniards wanted also to be incorporated
into this Legion, which was granted to them at fait
by a special permission of the Emperor. This•Le-

Monday sennight, an Inquisition was taken at
Wangford, Suffolk, by W. ilAmmown, Esq. on the
Ibody of Eleanor Miller, a travelling woman, aged
83, who being in bed at the Swan Inn, in that pa-
rish, was accidentally burnt to death.—The house
I was discovered to be on tire early on Saturday se'o..
night, and was entirely consumed, with the fund.-
ture ; the flames increasing so rapidly, that it was
utterly impossible to-render this poor wortiadany as-
, sistance, although several attempts were made for
that purpose.—Part of the property was i9red at
I the Suffolk Fire-office.
