.COURT OP CHANCERY, Juts 4

NI/ON IP. ORIDOR.
11. LoanC*ANCRIAMP4 On Wain into Court this
day, proceeded to give his opinion on that part of the
case relative to the agreement entered into between
the plaintiff and defendant. He had, be observed,
looked over the whole of the allegations with great
care, and the conclusion he had come to was, that the
Court below bad established the younger Henry Ger-
ion as the legitimate son and ha at law of the savior
Mr. Gordon. his father, and that the plaintiff having
entered into the agreement is question with the defend-
ant, under the impression that be was the illegiffintnte
child of his father. the deed ought to be given up and
cancelled. In coming to this conclusion, be could not
lose sight of the fact that the defendant was aware
that a private marriage had been solemnized between
the parties; and therefore, with these observations he
should for the present content himself, and direct
that the order should be drawn out, and, in the event
of rte alteration in his mind taking place, he would
band it down to the Counsel on Thursday.
Mr. J. Gordon addressed his Lordship, and com-
plained of the difficult situation in which be had been
placed by the reception of an affidavit which had been
subsequently died.
After some further observations the Lind Chancel-
lor ruled is the terms above stated.
THE PORTSMOUTH RANK.
Mr. lioNrasus applied to his Lordship to fie.an
early day for the hearing of an Appeal from the ddffisl
sion of his Honour the Vice Chancellor, in the copse
of which he noticed the importance of the question,
and remarked that there were several cases of bank-
ruptcy depending, iu some measure, on the issue of
the present question, among which was that of Howard
and Gibbs.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he would inform him
(Mr. Montague) on Thursday what day he would fix
for hearing it.

THE RING •. HIOHIHORE.
This defendant was brought up to plead to an indict-
ment, charging him with a libel (as we understood)
upon his Majesty. He pleaded not linilty, and received
nutice of trial for the adjourned Sittings after this
Term ; and declining to girt bail, he was remanded to
his former custody.

THE WINO V. WILLIAM STOER.
Mr. WILDE shewed cause against a rule obtained
early in the Term by Mr. Tyrrell. fur a Cerliora►i to
remove a conviction against the defendant, on the 54th
Deo. 111., for not delivering up his accontrements as a
trumpeter in the Kingsbridge Yeomanry Corps, into
this Court. There was several imputations upon the
conduct of the con% ieting Magistrate, which were
cow, to a certain extent, completely answered, and
The COURT discharged the rule, but without costs.
CONSTITL*TIONAI. ASSOCIATION.
THE KING r. TIIO3IAV DOLBY.
This was an indi..tment upon the prosecution of
" the Constitutional Association," against Thomas
Dolby for a Libel.
Mr. Joshua Evans a few days since applied to the
Court fur a list of all persons, being subscribers to the
Association, whose uxn►es appeared in the freeholders'
book of the county of Middlesex. The ground of the
motion was, that the prosecutors of the defendant ought
not to be permitted to sit u, on his jury. The Court
granted rule to slim cause.

TUC KINU V. DOLBY.

Mr. GCRNEY showed cause against a rule, calling
upon Mr. Murray, the attorney for the prosecution in
this case, to furnish the defendant with a list of such
of the members of the Constitutional Association as
were qualified to serve on special juries in Middlesex.
He insists that all the objects of substantial justice
were answered by a list of the members of the Associa-
tion with which the defendant had been already sup-
plied by Mr. Murray.
Mr. SCARLETT, in reply, stated that the list alluded
to was far from being sufficient, inasmuch as upwards
of sixty of the names therein contained were anony-
mous, and therefore, that it was impossible that the
defendant could by any means, except by the inter-
ference of the court, be assured that he should not be
tried by a jury composed in part of his prosecutors.—
He commented upon the mischievous effects which
such an association was calculated to produce ; and
insisted that it was not only contrary to the common
law of this country, but was exactly within the words
of the statute, 39 (leo. 111 , chap. 79, which declares
" that every one beconiing a member of a society, the
names of any of the members of which are kept secret
from the society at large, shall be deemed guilty of en-
tering into an unlawful confederacy, and be punished
with transportation or imprisonment and floe, at the
discretion of the court." He maintained that • great
and fearful invasion would be made upon that security
which individuals had always been taught to expect
i■ our courts of justice on a trial by jury, if such an
association were tolerated and encouraged.
Mr. EVANS, on the same side, said that the defend-
ant had not only to fear that his liberty and property
might be intrusted to a partial jury, but he could
never be assured that the Judge himself, before whom
he was tried, might not be one of his nameless prose-
cutors. He was credibly informed that, amongst the
list which had been furnished to the defendaut, there
was a Chief Justice.
Chief Justice Altai/T.—Not of this Court, Mr.

Evans.
Mr. EVANII.—No, my Lord, a Chief Justice of the
Isle of Ely ; however, the principle was. the smile ;
and so far was he front believing that any of their
Lordships were members of this association, that he
I was confident they would not afford it their counte-
tenance or approbation.
Tbe Courr thought that all tlpsoccicofjustice would
be answered lithe rule were disAorgail.spon an under-
taking by Mr. Murray that the defemiant should be at
liberty to ask each special juryman, on his oatb, be-
fore he entered the boa, whether he were a member of,
a subscriber to, or in any way connected with the Con-
stitutional Association ; and upon these terms the rule
was discharged.
