Mr. Calhoun was returned to Parliament by the
,Corporation of Bedford, in 1781. Sir Robert Qtr.
nerd had a mortgage on land, belonging lo the Cor.
Oration, for' ritum alt ailiont room In the year
1789, Mr. Calhoun pa off the debt,- and received
the mortgage papers, together with a reseipt for the
money paid, witlth was equivocal in its terms, as II
might meats either that Mr. Colhoun meant to dis.,
charge die Corp Oration, entirely *from the debt;
or that he intended to stand in the place of Sir R.
Barnard, as Mcirtgagee upon the Corporation es-
tate. It appeared that theta papers had been given
to the Plaintiff, as a security for a debt, th,at
lie
had Ilk his bill apinat the Corporation and had
obtained it dedee. to hilfirOur.
Mr. RieIfIROSI 611fhb part oT the Corporation,

a gift to the Corporation., which it was perfectly

of this kind.was made by a person in..Mr.Celitentel
situation, without reference to the past-Or view to
the (attire, he knew of no law to invalidate such a
gift, or any irbutitl of iorruption. But the goes.

He could ndt tiferits now, though he
had no objection to the re-hearing. Ile could not,
however, agree to stop proceedings, according to
the terms of this application, unless upon an un-
dertaking to pay the Plaintiff the interest and costs,
from the time of filing the bill—he undertaking to

This was a snit of divorce, or separation from
bed, boird, and 'Mutual cdhabitation, brought by
Sarah Cupp, of the parish of St. Steven, Coleman-
street, against John -Subastilin Copp, of the same
parish, by reason of. crueltyand adultery. It ap-
peared, from the proceeding, and exhibits produced
in this case, that tho parties were married at Man-
chester, in May, 1800, where they had lived and
cogabited together for some tune; that they then
came to live and reside at' Bromley, in Middlesex ;
and that during such period, Mrs. Copp had issue
several children. It further appeared, that Mr.
Cupp frequently treated his wife with great cruelty,
and that finally he became acquainted, and had a
criminal intercourse, with one of Mrs. Copp's set:,
vents (the nurse). These facts being satisfactorl.
ly proved by the evidence produced and read, and
there being no opposition set up on the part of the
husband, the Court (Sir W. Scorr) immediately
proceeded to pronounce tho usual sentence of sepa-
ration, as prohounced In like Cases.
