COURT OF CHANCRRY—Avs.IIS. -
THE WON. NEWTON FZI.LOWIES IY AV NATTER OV

EARL OF PORTSMOUTH, AN ALLEGRO LUNATIC.
The ATTORNZT-GENSRAL.-11eSS is a matter of the
last importance before your Lordship; I allude to
the Petition of the Hon. Newton Fellowes, in the mat-
ter of the Earl of Portsmouth, in reference to the
bearing of which 1 am at precool only ittatracted to
ask your Ltirdsbip to fix an early day.
Mr. Ha r.-1 am'of opinion (though the only know-
ledge I hereon the subject is gathered fronithe brief
which I have the honour of holding for the Noble
Lord, having received a retaioerythat the case must
of necessity be very long; bat I bog distinctly to be
understud that no convenience otAine wit interpose
when the Court shall direct it to lie discussed.
The Lonto•CoattcehLoe.--elt twig stand the first
cause on the list after tt.e next seat; or on the other
hand, if it be approved of, send .the affidavits on both
sides to me, and I will give you my opinion as to
their contents; but as to sitting in Court on Wednes-
day, I will got do that to please any.n.u.
Mr. HIALD.—TIPE Coot has heard the.. application
made on behalf of the Petitioner. the Eon. Newton
Fellows.; and also /fr. Hart, en the pan of the Earl
of Portsmouth; but your Lordship is aware there is
another interest not unimportant, as regaids the cos•
sideration of this case—the interest of Lady Ports-
mouth, which I represent. I think your Lordship
will not be of opinion that any blame attaches to my
client, in not having filed affidavits, when it is stated,
that on the other side affidavits have been in a state
of preparation ever since the 9th of.llly last, and that
we have not received any notice evin to this day of
their application, nor have we had any means of oar
own of knowing what was intended to be done. We
have given directions for office copies to be furnished
with the greatest possible dispatvh ;Jot some time
must necessarily elapse before we can receive them.—
The Solicitors is this case have been removed by his
Lordship, the alleged Isaiah:, and this circumstance
in itself has, sot without reason, excited considerable
suspicion in the laud of Lady Portsmouth. 1 trust
the Court will allow us el:facies' time to meet what
has been advanced against es.—lndeed, for my part,
cannot see any reason why the matter should be thus
pressed: and therefore, u the other side has not ex•
hibited even common condeaceesion, in 'giving in
copies of their affidavits, I do submit that this cause
should be taken in the regular and ordinary course.
The Loan CnaNcintoc—Tlie eommou and regu-
lar course in this Court varies with the nature of the
case before it, but in the ordinary acseptation of that
term, it certainly does not apply to cases of lunacy,
where, when commissions are sought to be taken oat,
the ordinary way, as I take it, is in vacation to send
in the affidavits on each side to the Judge for his
consideration.

Mr. Ilium—There are great suspicions eatertalo-
ed, at present. are only suspicions, but which
if confirmed, will render it essentially necessary for the
honour of the Court, that the affidavits should be re-
ferred for scandal as well as impertinence.
The ATTORNIY-OgysaAl. and Mr. HART were sur-
prised that the Learned tientletuan should advance
such assertions, when he professed entire ignorance
of the contents of the affidavits. Such observations, if
necessary at all, should be reserved mail the dims-
bion of the case.

Mr. HEALD not the conamanicatios from mother
party.
The LORD CIIAN.CILLOR said. le would take this
epportooity ofinspressing on solicitors aid professional
gentlemen. that it funned part of their duty not to
publish in tito oewspapers soy of lb* ovidonee or trans-
"miaow consected wit► this goo before Ailey anise ►e-
fore the Court.

Mr. HSA LD wield sew state what, in his opinion,
would greatly facilitate the hearing of this ease (for
his pan he did not wish it delayed a single moment
longer than was neeessaryo that was, as affidavits
had Wes filed, that copies should be banded over fa
each aide; this would furnish his opponents with au
opportunity of setting an example of fair dealing.
Mr. Haar said, that no ono could doubt the right
of Lady Portsmouth to be argued with the greatest
deliberation when the proper period arrived; but
those who represented the Earl of Portsmouth could
but regret any offensive observations which night
.be made in the absence of the circumstances of the

The LORD CUANCRILOR said, that be bad once be-
fore occasion to examine the present question with re-
,
sped to the same individual. which, be coati well re-
collect, was no easy tank. For the present he mid
contest himself with saying, that although this might
net be a case to warrens a commission of lenacy• be-
ing taken eat. still there was another 'node which
might be adopted ; he alluded to Midst care of Lord
Portsmouth. _ _ _

After a few further observations from Comm!. the
subject dropped, bat whitest any day being ap-
pointed.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
Tat BOWDITCIILL—Yesterday /Oat Borditeh. JP.
Bowditch, aid Jame Seerkit, severally canes up to be
heard oa their witless to be discharged, and opposed
by Mr. Pot.t.oci, on behalf of Mr. Hunter. the
solicitor.

Joan and William Bowditch are two if the persons
whose ease for a long time excited a considerable de-
gree of pubic attendee ; and ea its development no
small share of public spmpathy in oessequenee of their
prosecution by Maria Oleos and her conspirators. Jas.
Seeded is son-in-law of Joao, and brotber-in-law of
Wm. Bowditch,
Mr. Harmer was a creditor for the harms of his
bill of costs, le defeeding the Bowditches, and pro-
secuting Maria Olsee for which Scarktt had become
security.
Mr. Poit.oct said, the object of the opposition
eras merely to inquire law the property of the is-
solvents, and net at all to delay their discharge.
The isseivents all stated that they bad assigned
their whole property for the am of 1,0214 which bad
bees all 'speeded in the law proceedings in which
Maria Olesa's prosecution had levelved them. Mr.l
Harmer's bill of costs amounted to 5641. of which 500/.1
bad bees poid.
Mr. HZATH, who was Counsel fir the laselvests, ob-
served they were the meet iajared family.** earth ;1
they hed all, autos, who had the good formes to be in
Ireland, been totally rained by the foulest conspiracy
that over bad boss contrived. Some of them had
seek lite the grate seder the weight of their suf-
ferings.
Mrs. Bowditch was is tears derieg the time of
her eamination, which the Iseeevoleace of the Court
and the opposing Counsel made as abort as possible.
They wore all declared intided to the benefit of the
Act.

Mr. Harmer. at the request of his Ceases', was ap-
pollard Assignee.

POLICE.

Hurinuatt..—Between the boars of twe and three
in the morning of Saturday, the 27th of July last, the
family of Mr. Laurie, mapseller, No. 53, Fleet-street,
was alarmed by the watchman, who on going his
rounds found the outer door of his house open, and
upon examining the premises, the counting-house bad
been broken into, the desks opened, and property to
the amonet of 251. in Bank notes, and upwards of 401.
in new sovereigns, taken away.
A more minute survey of the premises was subse-
quently made by Harrison, one of the marshal:nen,
when it appeared the Iron drawer containing the pro-
perty had been °petted with the regular key, taken
from another part of the desk , which must have bee■
done by some person acquainted with the plass where
it was usually kept. The house door also, which was
known to have been properly secured at night, ex-
hibited no marks of having been forced open, and the
lock could not have been picked from the outside ;
from all which circumstances, it was evident that the
robberry had been committed by some penes within
the premises; and in consequence a young lad, named
Charles Robinson, who lived there as an errand boy,
and slept on the premises, was apprehended upon sus-
picion, and underwent several examinations at this of-
fice- Another charge of robbery was preferred at the
same time against the prisoner byldr. Collin, of Con-
duit-street, with whom Robinson had lived previously.
A box of wearing apparel, the property of Lord Jobu
Hay, had been delivered to him to take to his Lord-
ship's tailor, in Mount-street, but which it was said
bad never since been beard of. Notuithetanding
every exertion and inquiry that could be made, not a
single tittle of evideace could be produced to impli-
cate him in the robbery at his maser's, and after hiv-
ing been confined eight or ten days, he was discharged
from this office, and sent 111 custody to How-street, to
answer the complaint preferred against him by Mr.
Collin the latter offence haring been committed in the
county. Here, again, he was fortunate, for upon fur-
ther search the trunk %vas foetid at the house in Mount
street, ■od the innocence of the prisoner thus fully
established.

From that period no trace whatever had been gained
relative to the robbery at Mr. Laurie's. and Robin-
son having been discharged from his place, all hopes
of discovery had been given over. Early on Tuesday
morning two chitnuersweepors, a into and a boy.
called at Mr Lturie's, saying they came from Mr.
Brown, of Wet' Mane, to sweep the kitchen chimaey.
As Brown was the chlutoepoweeper regularly employ-
ed by Mr. Lanrie. the shoputan who saw them sup-
posed it was all right, and gave them directions to
come and do the job early OR Friday morning. In
the course of the day, however, he (the shopcum) sw-
cidentally met Brown, the muter chimney-sweeper, in
the street, mentioned to blue that somebody from him
