injuries. Some scenes of great power take place between the husband and wife. Sir Wolter, struggling with con tending pcstions, transported with rage, sunk in despair, overcome with tender recollections, is re spired to act with generosity to tho woman who, be be hires, has injured him. He tells her that her fitting asylum will be with her brother in France, whither she will sail im mediately in a French vessel then on the coast, and bands her a paper to prevent any interruption in embarking. This paper she conveys by her waiting woman to her brother, meaning to tell her husband the truth seances her btother's escape has freed her from her oath. Sir Waller, discover ing this, and thinking that she is thus effecting her para mour's escape, in a transport of fury calls upon his servants to pursue the fugitive. Shots are heard ; there is a cry that he has fallen, and Lady Ere:ins falls lifeless ea the ground. Lord Arden enters—his horse has buss lead be is brought hack by the servants. Sir Weshr s 4 he recognise each other ; and the moult may be imagined. In the overwhelming happiness of his wife's innocence, Sir Waller forgets all former animosities; offers his brother-in law his heart and his home, and engages to be responsible for hint to the government; but Lord Arden more nobly determines in rejoining his king in a foreign la nd. This (passing over minor incidents) is an outline of the story, which, though it involves great improbabilities, is well ail culated for effect, and we have seldom seen • dramatic re presentation produce a more intense degree of interest. The two principal charactera, Sir Waller and Lady Eveline Amyott, are beautifully drawn, and were admirably acted by Mr. and Mrs. Kean. Sir Walter's no ble and generous con deuce in his wife'e purity, which remains unshaken till it is destroyed by eirtumstancis that force conviction, make him the object of a sympathy which is enhaneed by :the relenting tenderness of his nature, even It the extremity of suffering. Mr. Kean's conception of the character was true to nature. The agony el his peados was terrible but not exaggerated; and the exposits WIWI odd and tenderness was often irresisilbly touching. lin. Kew was as charming as ever. She preserves all her beauty of face and person; all her dignity and grace; all the exquisite modulation of her b. autiful voice; all the varied expression of feature and of gesture, which gives so much force and meaning to every syllable she utters. Her performance was full of delics'e traits of nature and feeling, which at once reached the heart of every spectator, but which are as indescribable as they were exquisite Both Mr. and Mrs. Kean, upon their first appearance, were welcomed with nested peals of applause, and were greeted in a similar mea ner at the end of the play. The villanous old steward is a character which has many prototypes on the stage: but it is a telling part, and Mr. Webster made it tell excellently. Maud, the lady's maid, who assumes the prim manners of the Puritans about her, is a very amusing personage, and was capitally represented by Mrs. keeley. The curtain fell amid loud applause ; and, after the principal performers had appeared before the curtain, there was a general call for the author, who responded to it by bowing from a private box.

EQUITY COURTS. Before the Lord Cluutoeika. IN Rs V srvzsarrY Com.zon.—OxposnFELLOWSHIPS..— QUALIPICATIONS OP CANDIDATES.—Mt. Cooper, with whom wee Adams, opened the petition of - the Rev. Lt. Mamma in this matter, on Saturday, and now con- THE EXPRESS TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1848. point upon which a great number of similar Cabe/ depended —e point of such importance that the case would be carried before • higher tribanal.—Mr. Bodkin, in replying, said he apprehended that it was not neoeeeary for him to reply to the argument of his learned friend at any great length. Ile would admit that by the act of parliament a pauper could not be removed under sickness sapless that sickness were of a character likely to produce a permanent disability. The I words in the net were " accident or sickness," aad the ques tion to be decided by the court was whether " preg nancy" could be brought under these terms. Clearly that particular state could not be described as an " acciden," and it was absurd to say that it was in all cues, a state of " eickness." Many women bad better health when pregnant than otherwise, end where was there a hale country gal (as in the present case) who, in come sequence of pregnancy, would be in • state of sickness which would render it dangerous for her to be removed ? Mr Ballantine said he did not hold that pregnancy produced permanent disability, but that in most ekes • pregant wo man's health was eery delicate, so much es that her remises) would berlangerom—The court, after a little bevitation, con firmed the order, thus deciding that pregnancy was not a state of sickness.—Mr. Ballantine appliivi for a case to go to the Court of Queen's Bench upon. The court refused to accede to this. In the next case the parish of St. Mary, Whiteohapel, appealed against St. Matthew, Bethnal-green. The point was whether the wife of a man who had been transported, could with her children become chargeable to the parish in which her husband had a right of settlement. After some discussion the court, on the consent of parties, quashed the order, and granted • case to be t►ken to the Court of •en's Bench. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Rointaxt , n. BIITANT.—COPTILIORT IN A MDSICAL CoSI- Peatrion.—This case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the last sittings at Guildhall. The idiom WU brought under 20th section 5 and 6 Vic., e. 45, by the plsitionain tiff, the proprietor of the copyright of a musical ecrmpo called the " Ship on fire," against the defendant, who was the proprietor of the Horns' Tavern, at K enn ington, and who had let a room in his house to a Mr. Henry Smith, for thin e purposes of an entertalement , in which the composition question was used. The declaration charged the defendant with having caused the representation of this composiintifftion. The only plea was not guilty. The evidence for the pla showed that be was the composer of the music, which was adapted to words of which he was als o the proprietor, and that he was in the habit of singing and playing it. It was also shown that this song I , was sung by Smith at the defendant's tavern, that it was mentioned in the bills that tickets were wild at the doer, and that one wits sold by the defendant. The verdict puma' for the plaintiff.—Mr. Lush now moved for • rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, mid that the verdict was against evidence. He -bjected that the room in question was not a place •of dra matic entertainment within the meaning of the act, it being a place used far puhiic meetings, and occasionally for enter tainments of a similar description to this. It was clear that the act did not intend to prohibit the performance of musical compositions anywhere but in places solely appropriated to dramatic purposes. There was no evidence to show that this was a dramatic entertainment ; it war only a song. Al to the ground of misdirection, it was contended that the learned judge left the construction of the act of parliament to the jury.—Rule granted. NEWTON O. LOUD A. CONYNONAM.—LIABILITY 07 DIRECTOR/ TO SATURN RAILWAY DEPOSITS. This wee an action brought against one of the managing directors of the Galway and Ennis Grand Junction Railway to recover the amount of deposits paid on 100 shares allotted to the plaintiff. The scheme had been abandoned. The plaintiff was non-suited on the ground that the subscription contrast deed was not produced in evidence.—Mr. Newton now moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial on two grounds—first, the rejection of material evidence ; and secondly, that there was sufficient evidence to have gone to the jury. He contended that the considera tion upon which the deposit money had been paid—namely, the delivery of shares, had not been carried out, and there fore the plaintiff was entitled to recover it back again, and also that whether the contract was carried out or not the representations by which the plaintiff had been induced to enter it were false and fraudulent, and it was clear that in either of those two cams an action wee maintainable. The learned gentleman entered at great length into the manner in which the scheme was managed, and the mode in which it was abandoned, and contended I that there were circumstances of false and fraudulent con duct on the part of the company, which ought to have been left to the jury, Such as a statement of an amalgamation of the company with the Limo rick, Ennis, and Killaloe Com pany, which had never taken place, and a public announce ment that all the deposits had been paid, whereas only the sum of 9,0001. had been received ; and, in fact, that the whole scheme wa, concocted, carri,Al on, and abandoned in fraud.—The Court was of opinion that, whether as regarded fraud or the failure of consideration on which the money wan paid, there was an absence of privity b e tween the plaintiff and defendant, in the absen ce of the deed of contract, and that the nonsuit was right. —Rule refused. This was the day fixed for the hearing of appeals in regis tration cases, but the reserved motions for new trials having oecnpied the whole day, Thur s d a y next was appointed to with the registration cases. ARCHES COURT. Before Ste R. J. Vest. GEMS O. GElLS.—Yesterday, 1)r. Harding followed Dr. Jenner on behalf of Mr. Oeils. The learned counsel, after adverting to the mode in which the come had been conducted on the other side, proceeded to defend himself and his learned leader from some of the attaces which had been made upon them by Dr. Addams. In the course of Ids five days' speech Dr. Addams had said to them, " Why don't you con duct your cause in a straightforward way ? l'erhaps you do not know how to do it. I will tell you. You should have conducted the case as 1 conducted the cue of "Dysart v. Dysart," and as I have conducted this case." Two models had thus been presented to Mrs. Geils' counsel, and he (Dr. Harding) would state to the court why they had not adopted them. In the ease of " Dysart v. Dysart" the learned judge of the Consistory Court expressed in very strong terms his die approbation of the manner in which it had been conducted. Perhaps that would be considered as a suflicient reason for Dr. Jenner and himself not taking it as a model in this Cabe. There were parts of the proceedings in the present suit on which he (Dr. Harding) hoped this court would express a similar opinion. Dr. Addams had made himself the &minus Wt. here—a course which, if pursued at the common law bar, would have subjected him to censure. The learned ad voe.de had complained of being crushed by the phalanx ar rayed against him, and had stated that he had been sub jected to it for twenty or thirty years. Looking, however, at the effect it had produced upon him, he (Dr. Herding) thought that there was no necessity either for the learned gentleman himself or for his friends to entertain any alarm upon the subject. He (Dr. Harding), however, admired the ingenuity which Dr. Addams had displayed. Wherever the learned gentleman felt that his own case was week, he had attacked that of Mr. Grits on the corresponding point. That ke would unlock almost every part at the learned advocates procedure. It was abundantly clear that if Mr. Geils had ever heen guilty of acts of cruelty, and they had only been alleged to take place once • year, they had been condoned by Mrs. (lefts con tinuing to cohabit with her hum band three months after the last act was said to have taken place. With regard to adultery, the last act was pleaded to have taken place in 1642, and the separation did not occur until 1845. With respect to the last crime charged by Mrs. Geils, he contended that that lady had nut only made a false charge, but a charge which she knew to be false, and the knowledge of which was distinctly brought home to her by her own witnesses. The learned gentleman oecupied nearly the whole of the day in reading and commenting upon the evidence on which he relied to substantiate this position. — The further hearing of the ergu i nent was adjourned until to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner Shepherd.. IN RI MRYIIR AND BROWIV6MITH.—ALLEGED FRAUD BY • BANILRUPT.—This was • dividend meeting in eke matter of these bankrupts, who were fringe manufacturers, of Bedford-street. Debts to a small amount were proved during the day, and the amount of dividend will be officially announced in the course of a few days.—Mr. Reed, the solicitor to the flat, stated that in this case the bankrupt, Meyer, had been guilty of certain offences ' and it was the intention of three creditors, not partner , together with the assignees, to prosecute him upon the grounds That after the second advertisement in the Gazette, calling on the bankrupt to surrender, he did not do Do ; 2, the conceal ment of property, as alleged; and 3, an alleged intention upon the part of the bankrupt to defraud the owners of their goods in two instances, having gone to two silk mer chants, and obtained goods to a conaiderable amount, which he immediately pledged; and, in both cases, the goods never went to the place of business. For the two former offences, if proved, the bankrupt was liable to transportation or a period of imprisonment for not lees than two years, and for the two latter, not exceeding two years, according to the provisions of the 32nd and 36th sections of the 6 & 6 Vic., cap. 122. He (Mr. Reed) had, therefore, now to apply that his Honour would order a prosecution to take place, and that the costs of such prosecution ke paid out of the estate, he (the learned commissioner) having the power so to do, it being given to his Honour by the 36th section 5 & 6 Vic., cap. 122.—The learned Commissioner granted the appli cation. --- CITY OF LONDON COUNTY COURT. Before Mr. Commintoner Bullock. MASON V. GAINS.—HUSBAND NOT LIABLE FOR WIFE'S Denve.—This was en action brough rec tto over the sum of 11. for some millinery supplied to the wife of the defend ant, who pleaded his non-liability, on the ground that he and his wife were and hail been for years living separate, and that an allowance suitable to the husband's income was allowed her for her maintenance. There was no dispute as to the articles being supplied ; and on the part of the plaintiff it was contended that the defendant was bound to give notice in a the neighbourhood in which his wife resided, and to the parties with whom the dealt, that she was a married woman ; instead of which the wife had and did pass as a single fe male living upon hi r own property, and which reprisenta tions, from her apparent respectability, were believed. It was only when her creditors became pressing she pleaded her coverture.—Mr. Spellett said that the defendant, who was only a clerk in a hones in the City, was unfortunately coin-. pelled to live separate from his wife, and that a deed of separation had been drawn up and legally executed, under which the defendant covenanted to allow his wife one pound per week. This money was regularly paid, and that being an ample allowance, looking at the husbalid's wsition in life, removed from him all responsibility. With regard to the point urged, that a husband was hound to find out where his wife lived, and give notice in the neighbourhood that she was a married woman, it was un tenable ; for the question had been set at rest by the Court of Exchequer, in a PAM at nisi piing, tried before the late Mr. Baron Gurney, reported in 12 Eason and Waleaby, His lordship held, and the full court afterwards decided, that the husband was not bound to give notice, when be was separated from his wife, that she was a married woman. With respect to the non-liability of the husband for his wife's debts when the maintenance was in accordance to his position in life, that had been settled in all the courts, by the judges directing the verdict for the defendant. He would prove these facts, and then submit that he was entitled to the verdict —The deed of separation having been put in, Mr. Commissioner Bullock said the law was quite clear on the point, and the verdict must be for a the defendant. The party, if he thought proper, could proceed against the wife, she being, under her deed of separation, liable for every debt she had eoatracted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Before Mr. Walesa,. WEEIBURT-UPON-TRYII V. BT. JAMB% CLERKEN WELL.-18 enzostaxer SICKNESS t—APPEAL:This was an appeal against an order of removal obtained at the in stance of the respondent pariah. It appeared from the state. meat of the eounsel t that one Elisabeth Barnes became chargeable to the parish of St. lames, Clerkenwell, being at the same time pregnant of an illeg itimate child. The authorities procured an order for her removal to the parish to which she belonged, which order was now appealed against—On behalf of the appellant pariah Mr. Ballantine contended that the respondent parish was not competent to remove the pauper under the circumstances upon which she became chargeable to It. The learned gentleman then, at in, of considerable length 'reed, that pregnancy wa s a s p ec sickness which, not being a r c i r 66 nent disability, rendered the pauper irremovable, acoo • to the 9 & 10 Vic., C. 66,1.4.

GUILDHALL —A the Snore Ear/M.—This being the day appointed for the hearing of the summons taken out by Mrs. and Miss Richardson against Allan, of the firm of Allan and Cs., lthendrapers, of St. Paul's Churchyard, for having impeached the conduct of these ladies, and called in a policeman to turn them out of his shop, a large crowd at tended the court to hear the came. Mr. Clarkson appeared for Mrs. and Miss Richardson, and Mr. Ballantii.e fur Allan. —Mr. Ballantine said that since Mr. Clarkson had made his statement before the magistrate Mr. Allan had made in quiries with respect to the correctness of the information on , which he had acted. Certain statements had been made to Mr. Allan which induced him to act so rudely to the ladies, but he had since ascertained that the information was on founded, and he therefore authorised him (Mr. B ) to make the most full and ample apology to the lad.es, whose general respecta bility could not be doubted. It would be unneces sary for him to say anything as to the nature of the informa tion which Mr. Allan had received, and it would indeed be difficult for him (Mr. B.) to say anything on the subject although no bargain or compromise had been made, and although the ladies had said nothing on the subject of ex pongee, he was authorised by Mr. Allan to say . that he would readily pay all the expenses that bad been incurred. Mr. Allan hoped the ladies would accept his apology for the expressions he had unguareh dly made use of, and that they would he satisfied with that apology, which he repeated he was draired to make in the mast tell sod ample manner. —Mr. Clarkson, on the part of the plaintiffs, accepted of the apology, and the parties left the court. WOItSHII'-STItEET.—gERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A RELIEVING OFFICER.—Mr. John Findloter, relieving officer of the Whitechapel union, and John Water man, gatekeeper of the workhouse, appeared before Mr. Hanimill, to answer a charge of having violently as saulted Margaret Layton, a middle-aged woman of col d our, w hen applying to them for assistance.— em plainant, who, it sppesred, had been a slave at St. Helena, during the period of Napoleon's exile there, but at the pass ing of the Emancipation Act came over to this country and wes married to a copper-plate printer, stated that in wow quenee of her hesbano's inelelity to procure constant em-' ployment, she and her family of four children had been re duced to extreme privation, and compelled to apply to the parish for relief, which had been offered them to a I wiling extent until within the last six weeks, when it had been discontinued. On Tuesday . se'unight, be tween 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning, she went to the workhouse to make a renewed application for subsistence, and was ushered into a room, where she found the defendant Findlatet , who, in a very harsh manner, demanded her business. She told him that she wished he would he kind enough to insert her name in the books. that she might go before the board, but which he peremptorily refused to do, and desired her to send her husband instead. She told him that her husband wee unable to attend, and he then ordered her to quit the premises. She declined to do an, and was again urging her claims upon his attention when he suddenly started up, and, seizing her by the arm, thrust her forcibly towards the door. lie then called the other de fendatit, who caught her round the waist, and carried her along the prieskge to the outer door, through which he was forcing her when her foot came in comma with the lower step, and, to save herself from injury by falling, she aides- soured to grasp the rails, but was prevented by the defend ants, and thrown forward violently into the strict upon the pavement. Upon being assisted up by another pauper she felt extreme pain in her side and ankles, from which she found that the skin had been torn nil', and her hand was bleeding profusely lion a deep gash across the ball of trie thumb, part of the flesh of which had been cut out. She proceeded at once t o the Lon don Hospital, where her wounds were dressed, and she still remained an out-patient of that establishment —ln answer to a question from Mr. Hammill, as to whether the woman who had witnessed the assault was in attendance, Rowland, the warrant officer, intimated that she had not obeyed the summons which had been served upon her, and that he had little doubt, from her being a pauper herself, that she had parposely kept away from feat of giving umbrage to the parish officers.—ln answer to the charge, the dell [Aunt, inillater, said that he had repeatedly enjoined the woman at previous visits to produce her husband ; but she had re fused to comply, and caused so much dis•urbanee, that he had been more than once obliged to send for the police is remove her. On the occardon in question he also used his best efforts to induce her quietly to withdraw, and was ulti , nudely compelled to eject her with the assistance of tbe other officer ; but they had used no more violence than was absolutely necessary to effect that object. Ho was wholly at a lose to account for the wound she had sustained in the hand, her husband having stated, at his subsequent examination before the board, that the hospital surgeon bud pronounced it to ha* been inflicted with some sharp cutting instrument, and he could positively affirm that there was no such inner ment about that part of the premises to which the woman had been admitted.—Mr. Hammill said that it was the bounden duty of persons in the situation of the defendants to exercise the most patient forbearance towards the poor objects who presented themselves for relief, and it could scarcely be wondered at •if the latter were occasionally rather importunate, when it was recollected that they were driven there under the pressure of utter destitution. He considered the defendants had not here exhibited that hu manity and command of temper which they ought to have exercised, but had used such an unwarrantable amount of violence that he felt it his duty to send the case before a jury, and should direct the depositions to be taken, and order the defendants to find bail for their appearance at the sessions. SOUTHWARIE.—A GAS COMPANY AT FACLT.—Mr. Ayres, an engraver of Fleet-street, and Nelson•square, Southwark, was summoned before Mr. Cottingham to show cause why he refused to pay 12/. 13e. 7d., due by him to the Phceniz Cu Company, Bankside, for gas supplied to him in Nelson-square. On the part of the defendant it was con tended that the demand was excessive. He had lately taken extensive premises in Fleet-street, and removed the greater portion of his business there. Since his removal from Nel sowequare he stopped burning three lights, but still the corn pay charged him just the same as they did when be used seven. He remonstrated with the collector, and requested the attendance of the inspectors to examine the metres, but no person came. Letters were sent to the secretary ; but although they were answered no inquiries were made.—Mr. Noble said that the accounts were sent in according to the metre. Mr. Ayres had been in the habit of burning gas all night, which was the reason of the account being so large.— The defendant denied burning gas all night on any occasion. The fact was that when he reduced the number of burners the company sent for the old metre, and placed a new one there, at the same time making an error in the number of cubic feet burned. He also objected to the summons, which specified that the amount had been applied for seven days prior to its being issued. Such was not the case. The whole amount had never been applied for before. — Mr. Cottingham *eked whether be had any proof of that / —Complainant replied that he had. He handed in a card left by . Mr. Noble for 91. 17s. on the oth of June ; he also re ceived a letter from the secretary for the same amount on the following day threatening proceedings. Now the sum mons was for 121. 13s. 9d.—Mr. Cottingham said that the summons must tall to the ground, but still he thought the gas company would afterwards bring evidence to substan tiate their claim.—Defendant said that he considered the amount was exorbitant: and it was only en public grounds that he objected paying the demand. He certainly must have the summons dismissed on the ground of in formality, which would bring the gas company to a greater sense of their duty towards their customers—Mr. Cotting ham accordingly dismissed the summons. LAMBETH.—CONVICTION OF AN INNOCENT PERSON. —Henry Weinman, a stick manufacturer, was charged with receiving and disposing of a watch and gold chain, well knowing them to have been stolen.—ln October last a young woman named Mary Ann Turfit, whd had been committed from this court, was found guilty of stealing a silver watch and gold chain, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Nearly a month after her conviction, and w hile undergoing the punishment awarded for her alleged GAMS, a little urchin, son of the prosecutrix, made a full confession that he was the thief; that his uncle, Henry Wenmau (the present prisoner), had disposed of the pro perty, for 505., and that he, the lad, had spent the money. The lad, whose name is J. W. Ward, in consequence of this confession, was apprehended and subsequently pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey, when he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Since his cane on, the lad has made some disclosures to the chaplain of Millbank Penitentiary, involv ing his uncle in the alleged guilt of receiving the silver watch and chain with a guilty knowledge, and keeping 21. ss. of the money received for them himself; and this circum stance led to the prisoner's apprehension. The first wit ness called was Mrs. Harriet Ward, sister to the prisoner, and mother to the youth who has been sentenced to trans portation, who deposed that on the 9th of Oct. last her father had placed with her a silver watch and gold chain, to get glass put in the former • and on the 11th, two days alter, she met her brother, the prisoner, and asked him home to have some tea. In the course of the night some dispute mole between her husband and brother about the differ** is opening English and French watches, and witneie, in ceder to settle the question, produced her father's watch, which was one of a remarkable description. She held the chain in her hand, while the prisoner laid hold of and attempted to open the watch, bat observing he had some difficulty in doing against.

The petition com plained of the elections of a Mr. Bright end of each o a Mr. Conington to two f e llowships in the college, for f which the petitioner was a candidate, and prayed that he might he declared entitled to be .utetituted for one or the other of thim. The Brit was elected to a fellowship on the foundation of Henry IV., which required that the fellow should be a priest, oonstitutus in eacerdotis, whereas Mr. Bright at the time of the election was only an A. 8., and not of age to receive priest'sorders. Mr. Conington was elected to a fellowship on the foundation of William of Durham, which required the fellew to be a native of the diocese of Durham, whereas Mr. Conington was born in Lincolnshire, and of that diocese. The petitioner was duly qualified for either fellowship. The learned counsel referred to and read copious extracts from the statutes and ordinances of the col lege. The petition came before the Lord Chancellor, as visitor of the college in the place of the Queen.—Mr. Bethell, with whom were Mr. Taloa and Mr. It. Palmer, commenced his argument in support of tile elections a short time before the rising of the court. The arguments will probably occupy another day or two. Before the Muter of the Rolls. PZEITERRI O. W PARTNEUSHIP DIBPVTES.— There were two suits in this case : one by the plaintiff, Thomas Arthur Pasterre, against Ueorge Willis, with whom for tour years subsequently to the let January, 1832, the plaintiff had carried on in partnership the business of woollen draper, man's mercer, and clothier, in St. James's-street, Westminster, for an account of the partnership dealings, and seeking to fix the defendant Willis with certain eccounts signed by the defendant at the conclusion of each year of the partnership, subject to certain corrections thereof, made by Messrs. Quilter and Ball, accountants, who were employed to revise the accounts. The other suit was by the seine party against Willis and Leopold Schmidt, with whom the plaintiff had carried on in partnership the above business for ten years from the Ist of January, 1836, when the former partnership ceased; and it sought an account of the dealings of this latter partnership. This suit prayed no special relief beyond the usual accounts. The case was not concluded, — Messrs. Purvis and Fisher were for the plaintiff; Messrs. Turner and Willcock for the defendants. Beene the vice-Chancellor of England. CORE V. SPAIN.—CLIAROR OF AN ANNUITY I.IFON TUE PROFITS ARISING FROM A PARTNERSHIE.—A question arose in this case as to a charge upon partnership property. It appeared that Messrs. Cork and Spain wire partners to. gether as coachmeliers. Mr. Cork died, and by his will be queathed his share in the partnenhip to his son, in trust, to pay out of the proceeds and profits of the business the annual sum of 601. to his, the testator's, wife. Upon the termination of the partnership • contract was entered into for the sale of certain leaseholds which formed part of the partnership assets. The purchaser required that the wife of join the testator Cork should in the conveyance, for the pur pose of releasing her claim to the annuity of 601. A question was now raised whether this annuit up on • charge upon the assets of the partnership, or only the profits.—Mr. Stuart, Mr. Role, and Mr. Josiah Smith were the counsel in the case.—The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the tea , tator had no intention of charging the property of the part ' nership, hut only the profits arising from the concern. Th widow, therefore, waa not a necessary party to the convey e ance ef the leaseholds. SMITH V. PLUMMBH.—RELEASE OF A POWER OF Ar- POINTMENT.—This was a bill tiled by the children of Wil liam Smith, and a question arose under his marriage settle ment, dated Sept. 22, 1807, which contained • power in the usual form for Mr. Smith and hie wife jointly, or for the survivor of them, to appoint bet ween the children of the marriage, in such theses and proportions as they, or either of them, shoull think fit, and in default of such appointment the property was to be divided amongst the children equally. The trite died without any joint appoiutment having been exe cuted, and after her di ath the husband, on the '22,1 of Feb., 1842, executed an instrument by which he professed to re lease his power over the trust hind, and in May, 1843, he made his will, and thereby exercised the power, gising the property in unequal shares between the children. The tes tator died on the 27th of September, 1843. This bill was filed in June, 1844. and the question now Keened was, whe ther the deed of release of 1842 was • valid release of the power, or whether the will of 1843 was to have effect M r. Stuart, Stuart, Mr. Melina, and Mr. Stoneappeared for the plaintiff —The Vice Chancellor decided that the release of the power executed by the testator in February, 1812, was valid and effectual, and that the children, consequently, were entitled to share the property in equal proportions under the marriage settlement of September, 1807. FANSHILW V WALTER.—PATENT ELASTIC PAVEMENT COSIVAN T.—Accot NT or Pliorefe.—Thia Suit WU instituted by the patentee of an invention for applying blocks formed of India rubber mixed with small particles of stone and other substances, as • pavement for roads, &c. The patent was granted in 1841, and in 1844 a Mr. Galloway obtained another patent for a mixture of India rubber with cork and other light substances, and the material when manuiactured was to bo applicable to boat -building, or for the lining of men of war to prevent splinters and other purposes. The defendants were the patios who were interested in the Patent Elastic Pavement Company, who had obtained a license from the plaintiff, and hid also purchased the patent of Mr. Galloway. The bill asked for an account of the materials manufactured by the com pang, so that the plaintiff might ascertain the amount due to him for royalties.—Mr. Stuart appeared for the plain tiff—Mr. Tuella, for the defendants, insisted that the plain tiff had already received full accounts of all the goods made according to his patent; but the plaintiff contend that the second patent was merely an evasion of his rights, and tha he ought to have royalties on all goods made according to that patent also. The plaintiff had not given any evidence to support this claim, and his bill ought to be dismissed as to that part.—Mr. Teed, Mr. Shibbeare, and Mr. Dumergue appeared for other parties.—The Vice-Chancellor directed a counts to be taken of the royalties due to the plaintiff, hut would give no specific directions respecting Galloway's pa tent. The master , however, might state special circumstances in his report. Before Vice-Chancellor Knight Brum. CLIFFORD F. TURRILL.—SOLICITOR'S LIRTL—Mt. C. P. Cooper moved that an order might be entered up, which bad been obtained by a former solicitor of the plaintiff in the muse, the plaintif f having changed his solicitor . — Mr. W. Terrell, for the discharged solicitor, objected that his client could not be compelled to produce the requisite papers for the purpose, without payment of his bill of costs.—The Vice-Chancellor said that the solicitor's lien could not be permitted to intercept the entry of the order, and directed the order to be entered without prejudice to the lien of the discharged solicitor on any fund to be paid into court for the amount of his costs in the cause. Before Vice-Chirooellor Wlgrern. PHILLIPSON e. OALTY.—PAILTIEB.—His Honour deli vered judgment in this case, the argument in which was beard yesterday. The object of the suit was to charge the trustees of a settlement personally with the loss occasioned by an alleged investment of the trust fund upon improper securities, and for the appointment of new trustees. The question upon which his Honour had reserved his decision was whether certain parties on the happening of a con tingent evert might become entitled to the settled fund. His Honour was of opinion that the absent parties ought to be brought before the court, observing that the trustees who had taken the objection had a right to have the question decided as against themselves once for all, and that it would not be so unless the absentees, who would not be bound by a decree made in their absence, were made parties. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco. THE QueEN O. DOUOLAB.—APPLICATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OP SURETIBIL—Mr. Peacock . applied to the court to allow Capt. Douglas to find six sureties, instead of two, for the sum of 6,0001., for which he had been held to bail. It was doubtful whether the 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 68, sec. 1, required two sureties only, or whether it meant that two at least should be necessary.—Lord Denman said the application had better be made to a judge at chambers. Ex PAETE DOBBIN V. LORDS OP THE TREASURY.—COM PENRATION TO • PUBLIC OFFICER.—MANDAMUS. — Mr. Peacock said that, on the last day of Michaelmas term, he moved for a rule for a mandamus to be directed to the tion Lords of the Treasury, commanding them t o assess comps nsa to a Mr. Dobbin, who had been one of the writing clerks in the exchequer, in Ireland. The court then desired that a letter should be written to the Secretary of the Treasury, to ascertain whether they refused to make such compensation. Such letter had been written, and Mr. Tmvelyan, in reply, had stated that the Lords of the Treasury did make such re fusal. He now begged to rune s his application for a rule. —Rule granted. The court then proceeded with the pew trial paper, but nothing of sufficient interest occurred to justify a report. Ex 1,1.11. COMMIT. -We ehuuld have stated, in our paper of yesterday, that the court refused to grant a writ of habeas corpus directed to the wardens of the Queen's Bench prison (for which Mrs. Cobbett had, on a previous day, ap• plied) to bring up the body of William Cobbett, in order that he might be diseltarged out of custody, on the ground that they had not the power to order such discharge. The new trial paper will be taken to-morrow (this day), instead of the special paper, which will not be taken until the sittings after term. BAIL COURT. Maims in Banco, before Mr. Janice Erie. MANDAMUS.—REXOTAL OP • LUNATIC PAIJPEIL—Mr. Smith applied for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the churchwardens and over seen of Bideford, in the county of Devon, calling on them to keep and maintain John Ilancock, a lunatic pauper. By the 6th and 9th Vittoria, cap. 128, it was provided that before the proper settlement of a lunatic pauper was determined he should be kept in the county asylum, and that the justices should decide upon his proper place of settlement. In Aug. 1847 the justices of Bideford made an order, declaring Monk- • leigk, in the county of Devon, to be his place of settlement. Against this order no appeal was allowed by the act of par liament, and in this case no ono was present on behalf of the place against whom the order had been made. The emend order, being for maintenance, was made by the justices of the county under the 67th clause of the same act, and it was directed that Monkleigh should in future keep the pauper, and pay to Bideford the sum of 31. 81. Sd. which had been already incuutcd on his behalf. This was also done without sum moning any one to represent the interests of Monkleigh. This principle was lard down in the case of the Queen against the Guardians of the Poor of Totnes, 7 Queen's Bench reports, which was a case wherein it had been ordered that the pauper should be provided for elsewhere than in the workhouse. That order having been disobeyed, a man damus was oblnined, and on the return it was alleged that the order had been made ex parte, and the court held that to be a sufficient retain. The same principle was laid down in the case of Pater' e• the Liverpool Gas Company."—Mr. Justice Erle said he would take time to consider the ques tion. The learned ju die stated in the course of the day that the peremptory paper ••••Onkt be taken on Wednesday next. such the N this to take classes are not being ahead: year. Bea Long 8 150 Do., 4 to..
