An extraordinary scene of litigation has just taken place at
the Swords Petty Sessions. It was cause and cross-cause
between the proprietor of a seat in the Roman Catholic elle,
pet of Ballyboghill, county of Dublin, and certain beggars,
labourers, and others, who took and held forcible possession
of it. ,A riot took place and blows were struck whilst the
priest was administering on the altar—the rev. gentleman
was involved in the melee. The whole occurrence was the
more indecent, as the disputed pew lies within the precincts
of the sanctuary.
The origin of this fracas, as we collect from the evidence
reported elsewhere, was pretty much as follows :—Four years
ago the chapel of Ballyboghill was rebuilt, partly on the old
site, and partly on ground the property of Mr. Byrne. Mr.
Byrne had, moreover, been so zealous and active in the re-
edifice that, out of the £lOOO raised far the purpose, his own
contributions, and the subscriptions collected by him,
amounted to six hundred pounds. Inconsideration of such
services, and the gentleman's rank and character, Mr. 13yrne
either stipulated, or was permitted, by the Rev. Mr. pana,
van, then the Roman Catholic parish priest, to erect a pew
for himself and family, in the sanctuary : that is to say, with-
in the railed space that surrounds the altar ; and of this pew
he continued to hold undisturbed and unenvied possession,
until- a few months ago, when " a Pharoah, that knew not
Joseph," succeeded Mr. Canavan in the parish ; and having
discovered that the Roman canons forbad the erection of pews
within the sanctuary, proceeded to have Mr. Byrne's seat re-
moved to the gallery, Mr. Byrne resisted, and had his pew
restored to its original place; and the consequence was, that
on going to chapel on the succeeding Sunday, he found the
seats of himself, his wife and &lighters, preoccupied by a
host of paupers, who, claiming a full equality with the gentry,
both in rank and rights of property, had, voluntarily, and of
their own motion, obtruded themselves into that distinguished
place, Such is the statement of the witnesses.
With the subsequent matter of litigation we have nothing
to do. We care not whether the canon law of Rome do or
do not re ate the sittings in a Roman Catholic place of
worship. his canon is eat acknowledged by the law of the
land. The reason why we advert to the case is this : be-
cause it strikingly exhibits the perverse fealty of the Roman
Catholic priesthood Ito the laws of a foreign judicature, in
contempt of the laws of the realm of which they are the natu-
ral horn subjects, and to which they, as well as their fellow.
countrymen, are bound to pay obedience. If Mr. Byrne's
pew were illegally ,erected, there are laws and statutes of our
own, binding enough to abate the wrong and establish the
right ; and we cannot but say that priests, who-set up a fo-
reignjurisdictiou in preference, teach WO, by exemple, the
order and obedience to the laws of the land, which it is their
moral, as well as their civil duty to observe themselves, and
inculcate upon others.

Legacy Accoapt," The learned counsel direpted the atten-
tion of the Court to a Roman Catholic periodical, in which,
it was understood, Dr. Walsh was represented as filling the
office of Vicar-Apostolic of some portion of the Roman
Catholic Church, and said it was difficult to understand what
kind of mental reservation was exercised by the right rev.
gentleman who sustained this high dignity in the Romish
church, when he first admitted solemnly and deliberately by
his answer, that the gift was a charity for the benefit of his
clerical brethren, and afterwards set up a claim to the fund
for his own personal benefit as residuary legatee. The ad -
InissiAn, however, it was contended, precluded him from
taking objection now at the bar to a reference to the
Master to apnrevp. of a scheme • and the Court, having
directed, in the suit for the ixdpiiniptiation of testators
estate, with Dr. Walsh'i concurrence, that a fund shOlild be
set apart for the purpose of the charity, *could not now finiter
the opinion it had given upon the charitable nature of the
bequest to be disturbed. The learned counsel nevertheless
submitted, that if the question of the bequest being a charity
were still open, the Court could entertain no doubt that the
gift was charitable, inasmuch as it was not a gift to the par-
ticular persons, but for the benefit of the office they sus-
tained, and that since the Roman Catholic Emancipation

ships of war, whilst sailing-along the coast, beheld that flag
hoisted, as in defiance, from the wall of every convent of the
Latin church. They were impotent to resist us, but they
could not repress this ebullition of hostility and hatred.
The war ended, what were our political and religious ene-
mies then to do? Were their original projects to be re-
nounced rind blasted ? And were they tamely to look on,
whilst the Protestant Sovereigns of the league, which had
saved Turkey from destruction, anxiously betook themselves
to the di.wharge of a long-neglected duty,These Sovereigns
felt' deeply ttie reproach 'that, whilst the liolY City abounded
in splendid and Pomp.* instances of the worship of corrupt
Christian churches, not one eth:ize had been suffered, not
even attempted, to be raised, where the pure truths of the
Gospel could be proclaimed to the faithful followers of the
Redeemer, whom those Sovereigns were bound to protect in
the exercise of their religion ; and hence arose the project
desired by his Prussian Majesty, and earnestly supported by
the British Government, for establishing a bishopric of the
Anglican church at Jerusalem ; and it was equally an act of
sPnnd worldly policy, and of religious duty, which England
performed, in affording her fullest countenance and '9060

Yin that city, in
whose fate, be it in whate,ver hapds, the hearts of the Chris-
tian will ever be bound up by the strongest ties, and in
whose destinies some of the dearest and holiest of his hopes
are involved.
It is plain that these things have made the most profound
impression upon our inveterate political and religious foes.
In the field of war they could not meet us ; but one re-
mained opened to them, and closed to us ; and thence they
have inoessantly arid earnestlycarried on an hostility entirely

tion, with So merciless an Industry, that it might be sUppoSed
to have nearly exhausteditself, but they are actually now
giyin_g a new currency to lies which'were exploded some two
or three months ago. The Jesuit party at Paris appears
from recent accounts to be the chief actors in this most
active conspiracy, for it is one which has ever shown itself
to be " Grreois rnendaoior ipsis." The splendid entry of the
bishop into Jerusalem, under the protection of British au-
thority, and the marked sanction and countenance of the
supreme local government, at once controverted the predic-
tions of his disgrace and rejection which had abounded in
Paris and Jerusalem, and it proved the decided influence of
the British government. No one could dream of a Mussul-
, man's interest in a success, in which neither his feelings or
faith could, to say the least, partake. The lies, therefore, to

thus it is that we were first assured, f' `linter alga," that the
bishop was subject•to gross insults, and pelted in the streets
of Jerusalem, whilst preaching in the open air; and now we

FRANCIS AND COOPER.—The sessions of the Central Cri-
minal Court commenced on Monday (yesterday), and from
the appearance of the calendar made up on Friday night,
there being upwards of 200 prisoners for trial, they are likely
to occupy a week or twelve days. The judges who are ap-
pointed to adjudicate at the trials of the assassin John
Francis, for shooting at her Majesty the Queen, and the
prisoner Thomas Cooper, the highwayman and murderer of
of the unfortunate policeman, Daly—are Lord Chid Justice
Tindal, Mr. Justice Patteson, and Mr. Baron Gurney. It
is not yet ascertained whether Francis will traverse over to
the next sessions in July. If not, his trial will be proceeded
with in the Old Court on Thursday next, and that of Cooper
on Friday. The latter prisoner has entirely recovered from
the effect of the Poison he swallowed prior to the commission
of the murder. _

Act, there was nothing legally to deprive a Roman Catholic
priest of the benefits of a bequest for the purpose of the
church on the ground of a snperstitiOtis use, but th4t thp
same law which was applied to a dissenting minister before
the statute was applicable to a Roman Catholic now.
Mr. Purvis and Mr. l3agshawe appeared for Dr. Walsh,
and repelled the insinuation that any motives of personal
benefit had induced him now to ask the opinion of the court
upon the construction of the bequest ; and that it was uni-
versally known that if the court should determine the gift
to be void, and it fell into the residue, Dr. Walsh would not
apply it to his own use, but appropriate it to the best of his
judgment according to the intention of the testator. It was,
in fact, nothing but a desire to Carry out those objects with
as little expense as possible that induced him to submit the
question to the judgment of the pourt. The publication
which had been shown to the court would convey an idea of
the number of persona of various descriptions and classes
that might set up claims to the benefits of the fund, There
were Roman Catholic priests officiating and not officiating in
and near London. The expression "in and near" might
mean anything or nothing; it might be held by some to in-
clude Westminster and Southwark, by others, to extend to
the limits of the post, by others to be confined to one county,
and by others to embrace several ; and it was therefore at
once to have the judgment of the court on the matter, and
prevent ati endless controyer4, that the present course had
been taken. Dr, Walsh'was not precluded from raising the
question by anything that had talen place; The ihforrnation
was filed, and had the sanction of the Attorney-General,
long before the fund was carried over in the other suit, and
it was a matter of arrangement and understanding with all
parties that the opinion of the court should be taken upon
the question which was to be raised by the information. Dr.
Walsh, therefore, had merely admitted the case stated on the
information, and not upon his oath; and it was for the court
to determine whether the gift was void for uncertainty, or
whether it was intended for the benefit of Roman Catholic

ther the legacy had not altogether become lapsed by reason
of Mr. Robinson having predeceased the testator.
The Vice-Chancellor said, looking at the language of the
will, he was of opinion the legacy was given for the benefit of
persons who either now or at any time hereafter might happen
to bear the character of Roman Catholic priests in and near
London. No objection arose with regard to the indefinite
nature of the words "in and ;near London," because if it
were determined that what was given was clearly a charity,
the court would solve the difficulty with regard to its appli-
cation by directing a scheme to be approved by the master.
The language of the will was, I give and bequeath out of
my personal estate the following legacies :—To the Right
Rev. Dr. Wah:,h, of Wolverhampton, the sum of £5OOO, to
be by him applied for the purppses of Oscott College, Staf-
fordshire ; to the Bey. T. 4,obinson, pf Seel-street, Liver-

endured, there would be Roman Catholics in every place,

GRISL—The suit institnted by Mdme. de Melcy
against her husband for a separation degorps was determined
on Wednesday se'nnight by the Tribunal de Pr&liere In-
stance. M. de Melcy having made no opposition, the court,
upon the requisition of M. Glanday, the avone of the fair
complainant, and without any argument of counsel, delivered
judgment, pronouncing for the separation to the following
effect :—Considering that the marriage between M. and
Mdme. de Melcy was celebrated in London on the 26th of
April, 1836—that in January, 1839, the complainant was
constrained by the ill-treatment of her husband to quit the
conjugal dwelling, but afterwards made ineffectual efforts to
return—that in order to withdraw himself from her just
remonstrances, M. de Melcy quitted Paris, and concealed
the place of his abode ; that he afterwards formally refused
to receive her, answering her appeals to him either by insult-
ing reproaches or contemptuous silence—that in NOvern,ber,
1841, on her return to Paris to fill her engagement at the
Italian Opera, she found that M. de Melcy had taken pos-
session of the Chateau Vaucresson, which is her own
property, and on her making known to him her intention to
come and live there, she was insultingly forbidden to enter,
and that M. de Melcy bad in the same manner treated a
formal summons by a hessier, and another by a justice of the
peace ; and finally quoting the articles of the Civil Code ap-
plicable to the case in question, declares M. de Melcy sepa-
rated from his wife, and interdicts him from henceforth
haunting or frequenting the complainant; but allows her to
receive him into her own habitation.

The Court of Assizes of the Eure-et-Loire, held at Ev-
reux, was engaged, on Friday and Saturday last, with the
trial of two men, Langlois and Godefroi, for an attempt to
murder the father of the former, under the following circum-
stances :—Langlois, the prisoner, having expectations of a
considerable inheritance on the death of his father, was eager
to enter into possession. lle first attempted to poison his
sire, by seeding him an omelette drugged with arsenic when
at work in the kids. This, however, failed, producing only
a violent sickness, Upon this he seduced a shepherd, the
other prisoner Godefroi, a man aged only 23, but married
and having a family, and being in the greatest distress, to
become the murderer of the elder Langlois, by shooting him.
To insure his success, Langlois made him practise by firing
at rabbits, fowls, and other objects. When thought to be a
sufficient marksman, be was put on the watch for an oppor-
tunity of shooting the parent of his suborner. Finding, in
October last, the old man, who is 72 years of age, in his or-
chard gathering apples, Godefroi fired at him and struck
him. He then hastened back to the house of the son, and,
not finding him at home, left word for him with the servant
that he had hit the rabbit, but it was not yet dead. Langlois,
on receiving this intelligence, went to his father, feigning
great grief ; but, finding his father had only his arm broken,
he determined again to have recourse to arsenic, and sent
Godefroi to a chemist's to purchase some, but fortunately it
was refused him, Langlois, the son, lived in concubinage
with his female servant, who was with child by him. She
was acquainted with his horrible projects, and frequently re-
monstrated against them, upon which he quarrelled with her
and ill-treated her. At length she co
