V A thatcher of the name or Leaman, vvliiie standing on Monday at the window of a house in Norwich, viewing the operation ot a saw- ing machine, the wheel burst, and forced a large piece of iron against the temple of the ^unfortunate man, who was killed on the spot. Earty on Wednesday morning, the shop of ,unfortunate man, who was killed on the spot. Earty on Wednesday morning, the shop of Messrs. Griffith and Adams, jewellers and sil- versmiths, in the Strand, near Salisbury-street, was robbed of twenty-seven valuable gold watches, other jewellery and silver-plate, to the amount of upwards of ioooi. The rob- bery was effected in rather an extraordinary manner. The goods in the show-window, as well as the outside, which has proved that it is not possible to be too secure, as the precao- tion, it is supposed, actually prevented a man who sleeps in the shop, and a dog that watches it, from hearing the noise, or noticing the robbers-^ the robbers cut a large piece of one of the shutters out, and broke one of the squares of glass, to get out the goods. A public and a private watchman are stationed near the house. Pafgluse and Co. v., Maddy-.—This cause was tried the Glocester Assizes. It was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are iiraudj -merchants in Bristol, against the de- tendant, an iim-keeper at Hay, to recover -the amount of a cask of brandy sold and delivered. The defence set up was, that when the brandy came toitand it wag considerably under the legal strength for dealers, &nd was, j in consequeirce, seized by the Officer of Excise on his surveying the defendant's stock. It was proved in evidence, however, that the brandy was of a proper strength when delivereil to the carrier, and the Jury, under the direction of the learned Judge, fÚund a verdict for the Plaintiffs to the full amount of their demand. A ludicrous circumstance occurred a few evenings since in Oxford-street. A chimney sweeper's boy got into a butter basket, at a cheesemonger's door, and fell asleep; one of his companions, in a joke, shut down the lid and fastened it. Two thieves passiushortly afterwards, a nil coiicei-VHig the basket to be tilled with butter or eggs, carried it away to a public-house in the neighbourhood, to (It. the -spoil,when io instead of a rich booty, out sprang the young knight of the brush.

THIS was a motion lo dispanper the plain- tiff, grounded on the following facts, which were verified by affidavit of Air. Rosser, so- licitor, alld aient to the defendants in the former suit, instituted by the plaintft', and in the present, viz. That in June, 1791, the present plaintiff ii led h is bill in formi pauperis against the lale Hohert CorDelt, Esq. Richard Flint, John Flint, and the present defendant, the devisees for life under the three codicils to the will of the late Sir Richard Corbelt, Bart, bearing date 9th June, 1771, 31st Au- gust, 1771, and 31st July, 1773, and ag-mtist: -irle -1)(!t t John Plyniley the eider, and Charles Corbelt (the plaintiff's own father), praying to set aside the said several codicils, and to establish the will, and two other codicils to the same.* That the answers of (he said several defend- ants (except the said Richard Flint, who died soon alter iffing of said Bill,) were put-in May 1792, insisting- on their rights and inter- ests devised to them by the said codicils, and that the plaintiff had no right or interest what- ever to Lllc sajd estates, except to all annuity of 1001. a-year in case he the said plaintiff should survive the said Charles Corbelt his father That after other proceedings, a com- mission was awarded to delcndanls to examine witnesses, which commission was executed at a conslderahle ex-pencc in October 1794 and in Trinity Term 1795, the fnid calise having been set down for hearing at the instance of the defendants, the said I Io i d an order to dismiss his own bill, and (having sued as a pauper) without cosh, that after
[No title]
It is a fact, 'perhaps", not generally under- stood, that the late Robert Corbett, Esq. was related to the 1 esijjtor, one degree nearer in blood than the late Sir Charles Corbett—and by the original limitations in the will, Mr. Corbett was next iu remainder in default of issue by the Charles Corbett-oy the codicil of JUlie 1771, Charles Corbett and his issue, -were taktn l out of such iiuiiiafiou. this dismissal of the plaintiff's bilK and read* ing the depositions taken in the cause, it waf considered by the defendants that the plaiulitf had relinquished his claim to the said eslales; but after a lapse of 14 years, advertisements were publicly and generally circulated, ca!V ing upon the iiobility and gentry for subscrip- tions to enable the famiiy to prosecute theif claims in the Court of Chancery, and stated" that all sums subscribed would be carefully applied for that purpose, under the direction of the respective persons who had proposed the plan That the present bili wa filled in October 1809 and notwithstanding the sub- scriptions collected and received for the avow. ed purpose of carrying on this suit, on the 13th of the same month the plaintiffobtaineJ an order from the Master of the Itolls to pro, secute his suit in forma pauperis, having madt an affidavit that he was not worth 51. iii tilt: world after payment of all his debts. That although the order was obtained 9C long ago as October, 1800, the same was il(),' entered, or made known to the defendant* uutil the 3d of February, 1819 that the pre- sent bill was nearly, and in point of fact, a r(W petition ol the former bill, tiled in 1791, pro- secuted by the said plaintiff'iu/"«»•»?« pauperi' and which had been dismissed by order oi' tained by plaintiff'himself, without costs, an- no further steps faken for the last 15 years.*— That, the said plaintiff", soon after the 41-eal 1) his father, Iwmdy, ill Sept. 1808, wrote to defendant, Archdeacon Corbett, requesting to be paid his half-years annuity, then be- coming due, and given him by the codicil of the testator, dated 9th June, 1771, wtilch codicil the plaintiff', as well by the present a» his fornwl" bill, prayed may be set aside, and which half years annuity was paid to bun l compliance of such request. In our former paper we the state- ments of the counsel for (he plaintiff; we shall do lio triol-C tlj,,iii flot ice Nl r. ii i observation on the facts of the defendants. That he was well with the proof* m the former cause adduced hv the delei'd' alils, that •still having heen conducted on thc-if behalf, under his direction; and he particu- lady referred to the evidence of Mr. I.oxda^" since dead, one of the witnesses examined (?fSl the commission, who was Town Clerk Shrewsbury, and of high character-and that other persons had also been then examiiuHl, who had opportunities of well knowing the Testator, and they, one and ali most distinctly declared, that whet; he made the codicils he* was as competent asever he had been in bis life- And Mr. Richards stated, with reference a the whole of the evidence taken in the for reef suit, that it was as strong a case for the de- fendants as could he brought illto a court, anti condemned the measures which had been taken on the part of the plaintiff, by advertisement aud circulation of papers, tending to prej"* dice the minds of the public; and added, thal: after dismissing his former bill on his own t»u" tion, he had tiled Ibe present bill, afler a'la{»se of many years, when the witnesses to the u1" strumeuts in question, and others best able to give evidence were dead and that the plain- tiff should not be permitted, after the steps llff had taken, to prosecute his suit. as a pauper, as he had done in the former suit. The Lord Clransellor took time to consider the cases referred to, and in ¡.(i\,jng j"1ge" ment, his Lordship said, he had looked ail the books of justice aud all the reports of cases in law and equity to which tw beea able to have recourse, and he thought the tact was to be represented? That ;i hi'l filed some years ago in this court, hy this indi- vidual plaintiff, who was admitted to fUe foniiapauperisilhuhuch bill proceeded through all its stages, and not being proceeded in, a19 dismissed, and as he took il from a benevolei^ feeHng in the mind of the defendant withtH'* costs:—And his Lordship said, he had per" suaded hi IIlSel f, from the best considerate"^ he could give it, and from the doctrine fol/lld in the cases he had met with, that if the de-" fendant in that case had thought ()Il)ervvi-sc ao to costs, that he might have had Hie bill dis- missed with costs. Another bill was then filed, after several years had elapsed, by thO same party, again suing,in forma pauperis He would not then enter into thequestion, hOl" far there was a rational prospect of success |U the suit which the plaintiff bad then instil"' led; though, his Lordship said, he coul suppose there was very little certainty in man affairs, it that suit was likely to come 10 a fortunate termination neither did he eide £ into the consideration, how far the rules' the court, NN-itil to i.lie evi(telice, WI)ich arc necessary for the protection of properlY, would be in lact broken, il such a suit, as ll'1^ could be maintained.—but as it Nvi,4 llsat the termination of the former suit cwf. not be pleaded iu bar of tlie present suit? was ouf. of place for him to consider topics of that sort: the question was, whether regard being had !,o the fact, that that bill was dis' missed withouteosts—io the conduct, of tito parly before the institution of this suit, and to what is stated in the affidavits as to in 11 subscriptions, collected, he could dispaiipef- the plaintiff ? His Lordship then entered ifito, a long aud learned argument upon the quest'" e on, and upon the cases which appeared m books. On the ground of, tllc C(,Il(illct of party, his Lordship said he was ready 10 sldtf I" I ao that he very highly disapproved of a grea^ part of the conduct stated iu the ftffid-avil,by' he did not see how he could act upon this JJl, the way it was wished. if a man instituted^ suit as a pauper, supposing it is a tirsi, suit. no further inquiry is made, than whether b1? establishes the fact by affidavit that he if- a, pauper, and whether he establishes.ii Ivy tba* suit of pledge from counsel, ",)i, liavil; cause of suit, and which perhaps wasto"b¡¡f. tily handed to the Court by counsel; and;!1'* Lordship said, he was alraid his leelings mUi! ltil-ic lt-d Iiiiii into error, but that there no duly which counsel owed more to the Co1" nor the Court to the suitors, not to be mis', too hastily by ones feelings in a case of sort. Upon the head of vexation (and he not avvai e any tiling had been done in th.e sec^1'' cause,) he referred to a case, where a iiinti'?'* might have been made to stay the second cause,) till the costs of the ^"iS were paid but (he said) that will not helf in tlie present cause, because there are cosls in tiie first. His Lordship concluded "X saving '♦ 1 ani therefore of opinion, "cannot grant the: motion, but I give p no costs iu it." f i i •
