IL, eap. 19. It was desirable ▪ show what was the muffin of eouveyancers in reference to this subject. It would be desirable to show the cosmos form whisk they used in marriage settlemenee, where pay meat was to take place at fixed periods. Lord Campbell here sugpoted that the writ for the man ikons should be male &Metope, so that if the I.w fhoirs of the mows were dicetiffied with the decision, they mi ght ap to the MAWS of Lords. ..easel on both sides, however, agreed that they would abide by the decision of the coact. Lord Campbell mid, under these eircumstanees, the court we. wiling sole, the ewe proceed. The Attorney Lleonel resumed, and staid that be would limit the attentisa of the court to the mutter in which con ' Vermeer* Lew ap marriage settlement. There were two different damn of asumaities—oue which booms payable quarterly our the death of she grantor, and the other where gran:er dineted the annuity to accrue en a p tricolor day after Lis death. The present case was one in which the snaaity woe to be paid quarterly after the death of the glamor, and in such a case couveyanons is marriage merits never introduced au apportionment slaw. It was contended, ea the other side, that by Oh set it was intended j to give the late Queen D agar something more than an smutty payable iturerly. Tao whole of lie emu sipou this point were to be found In the case of "Bs parte, (myth.-,' is Bwanston's Reports. There two VMS ware referred to where perms could not be the grantees of an annuity without tepportimment taking place. Those out the ewes of married women litre, ap art . from their hus bands and of bileata. The exceptum did not apply so women living with their henbane., or to widow.. Ile submitted that the late Queen Dowager's executors were cot entitled to the swathe of ant uity said to have accrued due since her late Majesty the Queen Dowager was paid her last quarter's annuity. In the clause In the act piing the 'Doody there were no special woros. The clause provided that as &hooky should be o' the mount of 101,0401. • year, and all sad every part thereof was to continue and take *Beet immediately atm the deceise of his Motroty, and thenceforth during the rottural ate of her Majesty. The words used by convey ancers where annuities and marriage portions were granted were exactly the setae. These marriage gettlemente always exciaded the Idea of the amount to be paid being appor tinned. The dense is the act went on to provide that the &aunty wu to be chargeable on the consolidated load, nod he did not know that there was any differeime in the punt ease and that of a _private individual except that it was a togielative pent. He enhositted that this was to be considered as au ordinary settlement. It had been said that the grout of Marlborough 11011141 and Both, Park Lr • year a 1 .r the 'death of her late Majesty would be a hardship If a sufficient sum wen not allowed for the maintenance of her Iklajeatyte estate. But that grant was intended to be • favour and aa advantage to her late M ejeaty, that the might have a country /endue° near Loadou anal a town residence. but no neon 'ounce setae in respect of that, for if there should the executors might claim the &-nuity few • whole year after the death of her late Majesty. He submitted, then, that the court in eonaidaring this cps would exercise their equit able juriadietira. Although the act directed the first pay ment of the auntie, ins to be made on the fleet of the quarter which should happen altar the king's death, yet that might be taken to be • payment in adverse,. Under the whole circumstances of toe ease, he (the Atoorneyt Guinea) submitted tat the rale for • madames ought to be discharged. The 8 .licimedeneral raid as the cue had already been so fully aroued by the Attorney-de I, he would only address • few observations to the e'en. The present case was the came of a great of an annuity to the late Queen Dowager, and the amtate the bth sod 6th WWI= IV., cap. 21, provided that an inanity wee not appor tionable. 1., the ewe of an ordinary anhoity it was clear that it would ant be apportionable. The learned Llicitor- General heel referred to several authorities in support of hie proposition, and submitted that the present ease !lid not, in airy respect, entree fr the: of an ordinary annuity. IL therefore submitted that her late bleiesty's executor , were sot entitled to have the rule made absolute. Mr M. D. Hill, Q.C., sad Mr. Welaby followed on the . sue aide fdr. Berkont listowether, is ourr.rt of the rale, con tended wader tlas set of perlianteut that the 'acuity was ap portionable. In considering the subject, it did not appear to nits that Le diffcroi from his irieud in the princirks of law, but surely as to th• it applisation to the present cue. Tho ease of rent tali; g du, and only being payable on the particu lar day, had been quotod, but annuities were not similarly go vorned. With regard to the pr . .etne of conv.yancen,he did not think that the court wou'd allow that pretties to affect their construction of this act of parlieutatit. Many conveyancen, however, were fa the hibit of insertion apportionment ' classes in marriage eettlemenM. la the cue of the Queen ' Dowager the annuity accrued de die in item, and therefore he submitted that it should be made apportionable. All the cues referred to by Lis learned friends might be distinguished from the present ease, taking into consideration the object that the Isar die had in view in passing the act of parliament in question . He hid a claim, on the part of her Lee M-j s:y's exweton,to proportionable part of the annuity se mi.ng from the lst of September to the 2nd of DiCCCRI/tr, 1812. The question then was, what construction should he put upon thee particular act of parliament, regard being hat to the object for which it was snide ? With respect to the first pajama there wee en express provision that pay meat should ha mode on the first quarter-day after the death of hie late Hoje.ty, and the ease was to be argued as if his sty died ..t the commencement instead of at the cad of ',porter. The intention of the legislature was clear, end that intention could not be carried into effect it the annuity were not apportionable. F. Thesiger,Q,C., followed on the same side, and said that be would confine himself to applying rule. of law to the peculiar facts of the cue now under consideration. He eon teinied that the 4et of parlioment soul; be construed liberally in favour of the grantee of the annuity, bearing in mind the intenti .a of .he parties who wade this act et parliament. It was intended to grant to the late Queen Dowager en annuity that would eompoiee every period of her life after the death of his late Ilojtety. Marlborough House and Bushy Park ware granted to the executors for a year the death,of the late Q seen Dowager, and these would I Ls no funds to pay the expenses which had accrued on account of thole mansions, if the annuity eould not to apportion. d. The legislature, when they paned this act, could not have loot eight of the contingencies of the ease. When the lit was passed, there was no law to prevent annuities being apportioned, unless there were particular words in the grant. Tne question was, whet did the I, gis. lasers intend should be the conetnaction put upon the act of parliament 2—Was the annuity to be divisible or not? He (his F. Mosinee) submitted it was, and that the legislature meant to enable her late kl,leety to disitherge the duties belonvir g to . ker ex ltel position . The question wee purely agues:ion welt respect to intention, and tne construction of the act of parliament that be contended ICI' was the sole construed's : by which It could be carried into effect. Hr. Nowak, Q C., Mr. Henderson, and Dir. Hindu, addtswal the court on the some side. Th • Attorrej-Grneral then replied; end Lord Campbell said the court would take time to consider their judgment.

(with whom was Mr. Serjeant Chea pen and Mr. Boma) submitted, on behalf of the piebalds, that the master of • veseel was ger er.l agent of the *wan to conduct the buriness of the ship ; end that, as nth agent, it wee part of hie hubbies , + to sign Allis of ladmg. This being so. it the master, in the sour.* of his ordinary duty, signed a bill of lading, the owner would be se much limed by it as if i.e had ibped it himself; sad el:hough by mistake, ne• Orme, oe fraud, • false statement might be auk in ouch bill of lading, the owmar would be bound by it to a third party, who took the bill of Musa upon the faith of No motet's eigneurs. Me. Batt, Q C., (with kits Mr. Cleuby) contended that the captain had no authority to sign tills of lading for goods which be had not reeeitsd on hosed his ship. The captain, it was true, was • general agent for his owner, but only is ?event of ohs particular beldame which he was authorised to transect—nataely, to receive goods on board at • freight to be agreed upon between him and %Gs shipper, to take OM of then in trausim, and to deliver them according to the contract. The an!hority of the captain was, in point of law, to be gathered from the n of the employment in which he was engaged, and he bed no right to sign a bill of lading for goods not on board. A bill of lading timid be no contract for goods not on board, and the amignment of each a document conveyed no contract or transfer wt. b referents to such goods; oeither was the principal liable for • cmitrant made by his agent und'r mash circumvent s. Mr. Crowder hating replied, the Court deferred its jadg mint would betel him if he made away with the work altogether, pr that they should proceed to the hone to cut it oat ofTe e ltlom, end that ho would find a parelisser for it.

He afterwards met the prisoner by appoint ment at a beer shop in the evening, 61111 received from him 2e. 6d., which Harris stated to be his fair share of the booty, as the whole of the manufactured silk had produce I 2.0., and the entire eleven bobbins of " shoot" had been sold for he.

Policeman Mackintosh 68 D spsedily came into the premis , when h. found the prisoner and the landlord lying across the table as had been described. He laid hold of prisoner, and pulled him off, when he (prisoner), upon exclaiming, Now I'll do for you," threw him with such violence to the floor that his shoulder was dislocated.

The defendant pleaded never ir.- debted, that he was a 'uncle, and that they were cot ne• c *series. Mr. W. H. Watson and Mr. Bill were (or the phintiff; and Mr. Hugh Hill ler the defendant. The we involved some rather minus details. The lite F. Legard, the defendant, a member of a highly respec'-bie family in Yorkshire, is iocambent of the vicarage of Get. ton, a " family lu 1844 he marri. d a young wcman described as the daughter of a bladder atChelsea, hut who appears to have been of even a humbler rank .han that vague description would imply. From elutes ctiezplained, no imputation, however, being made on the morel erieracter ef the lady, a separation took place. Affectionate letters were written by the defendant during this period. and they seemed to have suhaequently live t together tor • sheet time. In February, 1849, apparently with a view to add to his income, the defendant accepted an engagement in a school at Uxbridge. Towards the close of the year he was attacked with lnneey, a malacy to which he was previously sabjeet audit was round necessary to have him removed by his family to a lunatic asylum at Mansfield, Notts, where he rmalnrd till has recovery in August last. In the month of Match,lBsU, Mrs. Lenard entered the plaintiff's house in Wellington square, Qseen's•rrad, Choices, where she received board and lodging en the representation that she was a beneficed der- gvasea's wife, and *ere she remained till November last. The plaintiff now sought to recover the sum of 151. as remu- Iteration theretor. Several letters from the defendant to his wife were put in as evidence. On the 24th of February, 1849, he wrote stating that he had written to his brother asking him to send her 60L a year, and on the 11th of Merck, 1650, ne said Al she would send him some satisfactory security to relieve him from all other liabilities he should allow her 501. ea before, his income only being 1601, not 2801. as e• ,uppeeed. The date of this latter letter having been dio pitted, the learned judge remarked that here was another illustration of the results of the practice of send:ng letters Ice envelopes, by which means parties were deprived sac the evidence of the post-offioe dates. Mr. H. Hill submitted that during the defendant's confine. meet as a lunatic he could not authoriso rto pledge his credit. . . . . ... Mr. Baran Martin entertained no doubt on the point ; he aboul4, however, jive the defendant lure if necessary to move the court. . _ Mr. ILA then addressed the jury, rabmittieg that after paying a curate the defendant bad only 1101. of income, and that a sum sufficient had been paid to his wife. He called Mr. Lenard, brother to the defendant, a commander in the teal nave, who deposed that the vicarege of Gallon is only worth 1601., sad the parsonage is let fur 101. For save rat years it has been ate...mazy to pay a curate, who receive. 601., to that 1101. W the while amount et the vicar's income. Prior to the marriage, the detendsnt was eozfined in a lunatic asylum for nearly eight months. This genticroan proved several payments by him to Men, Legard at the ea * of lie. per week, or 311.45. a year, dur ing the defendant'. confinement in the lunatic fifty's= at klatelleld. The sum pad to the keepers t f that establishment was at the rate of 21. 2e. per week. In elms...elimination be said his brother formerly held the curacy of Butterwick, at 301.; but that was now held in conjunction with the curacy of Batton by the gentleman who discharged his auties. Mr. Baron Marti° in summing up, told the jury he was clearly of opinim that the plea of loose! was no defence to en action of this kind. It was proved that an allowance had been made to Mrs. legard at the rate of 311.45. a year, and it was for them to say ehetner that was a reasonable allow ance from the deter.dant's income. He did not think they should take into account the particular sum which might have been paid fur the de:endent while in the lunatic asylum, for it was deer that at the rate of two guineas a week the payment would exhaust tie wink iccome. Tee jury found for the plaietitf for 61. Go., being on the calculation of an anneal allowance ot 501 to the defendant's wife. His lordship cir:itted that it was a proper ease to be triad in • suotrior court. MITCHELL v. CIIIII3TY.

The sum of 106,0301, had been smokily paid up in the terms of the contract, by the individual shareholders, and this money was gone; with the exception of the sum which had lately come bane from Spain, and some trifling balacces at the bankers, all the money was gone, and no account rendered to the shareholders as to bow it had been exp. nded. The evidence given as to the receipt of 106,0301. by the bankers es nepoeits had been satisfactory and conclusive; sod it was also clearly proved that a wit( mg sum now remained to the credit of the com pany at the bankers. Certain moneys bad been traced to the South-Western Railway. Mr. (Whet bad stated that ha had received about 18,0001. from Spain, and the aecourts of the expensed of the company, eves if accurate, show a earn of 10,0001.

Mr. Beer, of Cambridge-street, said he was secretary to the Marquis of Angles... Last week several letters were received by the marquis at Uxbridge Rouse. Old Burlington street, purporting to come from one Robert Clarke, and king for pecuniary assistance. The marquis gave him two or three letters, and by the direction of the marquis he i submitted them to the Mendicity Society fez investigation. Capt. Wood. of the Mendlcity Society, called at Uxbridge House, and I; wan arranged that witness should write a letter to toe appLeant Clarke, to be called for at the post-office in Blackristaroad, as requested by the applicant. Witness wrote a letter, inclosieg a shilling, and swing that the money was in aid of the applicant'a present wants, hutif the case turned out to be one worthy of ounsideration, further assistance should be given. Wm. Botsford, hlendicity constable, said he went to Uxbridge House, and received direction, as to the mode in which the writer of the bagging letters we, to bo appre hended. Yesterday (tdondas ) he went with another con. s'ablo to Blackfriars-road and kept watch at the post-office. A female called and asked if there were any letters for Mr. Robert Clarke. The post-office keeper said there was • letter, but as it was • registered letter it could only be de livered to the person to whom it was addressed. The female, who was the wife o f the prisoner, said she would - . inform Mr; Clarke, who would probably Call in the courier of the day. Shortly afterward, the prisoner came into the shop, And representing himself to be Robert Cluke, the letter was given to him. Witness recognised the prisoner as en old acquaintance, and when the prisoner left the shop be followed nine. The prisoner opened the letter and went down a bye street. Apparently suspecting something the prisoner threw the letter away and rfin off. Witness's fellow constable (Bird) went in pursuit, aid secured the prisoner. Witticism received charge of the letter written by Mr. Beer, which the prisoner had thrown away. The letter received by the marquis wee here read. In it the prisoner supported with much skill the character of an old sailor, and spoke with glowing feeling of engagements in which he bad served with hie lordship's brother. Bingham asked him if he could produce his lather The prisoner fenced with the question a good deal, and at last admitted if 20 years were allowed dim, he could not produce his father. Mr. Bingham did not believe a single word about the letter having ban written at the request of the prisoner's father. Me believed the whole story was a fabricate .n of the prisoner's own, and being of opinion that be was a rogue and a vagab.ind, be should send him to prison for 2 months. SOUTHWARK.

Mr. Brod, rip said be would comply with this request, considering that as Captain Nestor was not a responsible agent justice would be satisfied thereby. Tre esptain was then given into the cuetody of a sergeant of the Coldstream Guards, who was in attendance, to convey him to Yarmouth; but in a few minutes Miss Nestor, his daughter, and the sergeant, who had left the captain I. charge of another non-commissioned officer, entered the court, and informed the magistrate that as the unfortunate gentleman was about to step into a cab, which had been sent tor to convey him to the Eastern Counties Railway, a sheriff's officer and his assistant had pounced upon him and arrested him for a debt of 841. On the one hand the sheriff's Wl:et had threatened to bring an scion against the sergeant If he took the captain out of his bands ; and, on the other, Übe (the sergeant) parted with the custody of his prisoner, he was liable to be tried by vurt•martial for disobedience of cram The sergeant therefore salted the magistrate bow he was to set in this matter. Mr. Broderip observed that he had no Loger any power in toe matter, and could give no directions. The sergeant was certainly placed in a most awkward position, but he could not assist him. The parties then retired, when, after some delay, in the alum of which neither party exhibited the least inclination to part with possonion of the captain, it wu mutually agreed, withoat prejudice to their rival claims, that both parties should arcompany the prisoner 'o the War office, and take the opinion of the authorities there, whither they repaired.
