This day a motion was made in the Court of Chancery, for an injunction, to stop the payment of a sum of money in the hands of Mr. Tattersall, from being paid to the trustees of the Duchess of Kingston, which arose from the sale of the late Duke's horses, dogs, &c. on the ground of her being an executrix by false pretences, and being now indicted of felony; when the Lord Chancellor remarked, that as a noble law Lord had made it appear that there was no indictment against her, as it had been brought against Elizabeth Chudleigh, and there being no such person, he ordered the money to be paid into the hands of the trustees, for the payment of the funeral expenses, debts, and legacies.
