COURT OF CHANCERY, Fe.. 27•

onuaLAT I. Mil Of SOINIRSET.

Mr. It eaTTN —in this case, the solicitors of the Hake of
Some,aet had gives notice by letter to the gentleman who
bad hitherto acted in that capaoity for the plaintiff, Mr.
Gourley, informing them that his Grace was desirous of
bringing the oftener before the Court as anon as vosible.
The Learned Counsel was sorry, however, to add, that
in consequence of the erectile distress of that gentle.
man, his being obliged to stork on the public roads as a
common labourer in a distant part of the country (Wilt-
shire, be believed), he was now nithout professional aid,
and consequently not likely to appeats before his Lord-
ship. He therefore suggested (as we understood) that
the case might be struck nut.
Mr. HA RT—Rvery body had heard of the deplorable
situation in which ilr.Gourlay was now placed, and no-
body cool ! help feelingsompassion for him, considering
the highly respectable station which he bad previously
occupied in society. As for himself, he had experienced
the deepest sympathy far that gentleman's reverses, but
those feelings had been qui., relieved by the perusal
of a. letter which Mr. Gourley had published in one of
the provincial papers, in %shill he said that his present
employment (ofbreaking stones on the road, he had read)
seas by no me .us necessary to his autesivance ; but, that it
was jest to *hew the labourers how it was within the
power of all persons to make themselves independent;
and in rept/ to the offer to raise subscription iu his he-
feelietrl diat irmnossel, sayireg, that be La other
more liberal and pa•riotic views. Mr. Hart thought
notice of this motion should be sent to Mr. Nichol% his
attorney in the country, before the court decided.
The Loan CHANCELLOR—You must certainly give
moratinse.
Counsel were instructed to say that Mew Gourley's for-
mer solicitors had declined acting env longer as such,
and that therefore there would be a difficulty as to run-
vryiog the necessary information.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ftn. 27.
TIM KING CLARK.

This was an indictment against the defendant, at the
instance of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, for
publishing an alleged blasphemous libel. He was in-
dicted by the name of George Clark, alias John Jones.
The defendant pleaded in abatement, that he was never
called or known by the name of Gearge Clark, but that
he had been always called and known by the name of
John Jones. To this plea there was a demurrer for in-
sufficiency.
Mr. Ili MARMOT, ifs support of the demurrer, was now
stopped in argument, and
Mr. PRENURRORASS was called upon to support the
plea, and he contended that the indictment was clearly
bad, for describing the defendant by two names in the
manner set forth, but
The COURT were clearly of opinion, that this being
a plea in abatement, it was entitled to no favour. It was
clearly had for not giving a better name, or stating with
certainty what was the defendant's real name ; and there-
fore the plea was informal and insufficient.—Judgment
of respondent ouster.
