11•••••• Before Vice• Chancellor Witwean. MOlllOOll W. BAINnaIUOI. rAl4ll42ntStitir. — Up On VW amalgamation, in 1846, of two railway coinintniv‘ into a single company called the Derbyshire. Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway Company, the plaintiff and defendant, who had been the respective solicitors of the 'operate companies, were retained by the directors, and agreed to act as Joint solicitors of the amalgamated company. In this character they continued to be emplorl till when the re jection of the company's b ill by parliament in 1847, the affairs of the concern were wound up. The present suit was then instituted against the defei dant, te whom the bfil of cots for boo noes done for the he com pany bad been paid, for an account upon t footing of a partner:hip, with equal divbiun of the profits. The Solofitot-Oeneral and Mr. Leach, for the plaintiff, COn tended that the agreement by the defendant to ac fficien th e tth e plaintiff as joint dicitors of the company was su constitute a partneiship betwCrn them, and to untie the yeaintiti to an equal moiety of the profits.—Mr. Wood (with whom was Mr. l'igg itt) contended that the pleadings and evidence in the eau.: went to istablish only that tho laintiff and defendant hod agreed to work as eel ic ors for the company; but (aired :o show that the profits were to be treated as a comedin fund. Re relied upon the case of " Tinckle r. S:acey" (Select Cnancery C.ises, page 9), as an authority tor the proposition that where two persons jointly agree to do a panic...ler piece of work, but the money tu be received fur such work is not to Ik. employed on their joint account, the persons so contra, ting aro not partner.. As the defendant had been the active Fully in the management of the legal part of the compares' s atlairs, they contended that he we eT s entitled to the larger port ion of the payment tor cost argument (or the defendant was not concluded at the rising COURT OF t.IUREN'S BENt:n.

Wo Th m atter as having been submitted to a jury before Mr. the aseemor for tho sheriff of Surre, e awarded Chabot 7501. Mr. M. Chambers, yth su y bsequentlyMr. ob. tamed a rule, calling on the sheri ff of Surrey aud the Com missioners o f Wood, and Forests to show cause why a writ sit prohibition should not issue to restrain them from recording the assetement and verdict of the jury, on the ground that the crown had claimed 2a. Ir. 38p. of the land in question, which faced the river Thames, having a frontage of 520 feet, allegieg that it was between high and low water marka. and the juty had therefore only estimated the value of the remaining portion, which was a long strip iulund, and worth consideralq less.—The Attorney-Oeueral now showed clam against the rule, and contended that the amount claimed as compensation by Mr. Chebot was ab3s surdly 2ex01.- , travag ant. Ile had purchased the lend in 18 tor 1 sad had not Wed h for any preppie since. So for ftom the two acres facing the river teing excluded from the cuaside ration of the jury in estimating the amount of compensation, it was proved on the inquiry that none of the witnesses esti mated the smaller piece of land at more than 300/ , and it was therefore clear that the remaining 4001. was intended by the jury fur the toed iu trent of the river. Under any circumstances a prohibition could not be issued, because that was • writ directed to • court for excess of jurisdictiuu. The sheriff here was a ministerial officer to assist in assessing the amount due in respect of a claim for compensation. It was a tribu nal of assessment. end therefore riot a court to which • writ of prohibition could go. But even if that were not so, there had been no excess art turisdietioa ; there could not be • fresh inquiry, the commissioners could have no remedy either by manefautus or prohibition, it the amount awarded had been eleeeinire; and both the parties must therefore be ' bound by the decision of the jury. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests were about to take 300 acre, r the pur poses of the new pork at Battersea, and it was preposterous to suppose they could pay so Enormously for the fend they required. Here ass a claim of between three and fourthou sand pounds per acre for land, which in 1835 had cost less than -M. au acre, had never suite been used but for browsing donkeys on, and could not be built upon as there was no way uf approach to it. lle apprehended, therefore, that both on the fuets and the law, the rule aught to be dis. charged. Mr. Weleby foil meet on the wine side. Mr. Lush (in the absence of Mr. M. Chambers, td.C.) was then heard at considerable length in support art the rule, and argued that the sheriff sat more in a jurlie:al thou a minis tens: character, and therefore • prohibition would lie. He further ecntetided that the compereation jury had no right whatever to go into the question of the claimant's title as to the land said to belong to the crown. Not a syllable had been uttered until the trial which would have led Mr. Chabot to suppose that such a question would be raised. In fact, the crown had, by their nutioe to the claimant, and the schedule of the property which would be required, admitted that thew`nd belonged to him. The only ejuestiou which the jury re capable ot entertaining was the amountof compensation to be awarded ; and it was clear that the sheriff Lad exceeded his jurisdiction, as h. , had so put the case to the jury as to induce them either to throw entirely away from their consideration the largest and most valuable portion of the land, or to regard the claim ant's title to it as 01 a very doubtful character, and therefore they awarded him a most inconsiderable amount for the same, althoug h tome of the meet respectable surveyors in London had Efeel,red the land in question to be worth the mount claimed.—The court took time to consider its judg- Ili' QUEEN ON TIIE PROSECUTION OF Bettor V. CRIA rax.—ASSAULT.-1U this case the defendant was found guilty of an assault on the prosecutor, at tt e last assizes for the county of Devon. Both parties were gentlemen residing at Lempstone, near Eernoteh, and various circumstances bad giren rite so ill f.eling between them, until finally the defendant struek the prosecutor with his fist whilst in the company of hie wife and child, and trandishing a horsewhip threatened to kill him. The defendant was now brought up for judgment, and affidavits in mitigation and aggravation were put in, by which it appeared that the defendant had grossly insulted the prosecutor at a ball at Exmouth, and been guilty of other acts to provoke him to a breach of the peeve, in conarquence of which ho had been bound over to be of good behaviour, and whilst under recognisances had committed the aseault of which he bad been found guilty. Be bad suhsequently offered to sign a public apology drawn up by a third party, and give 501. to the poor of the parish of Lympatone ; but the prosecutor would not be sal tisfiit cr, a ed with d less than an apology prepared by himself or b solicn the 'payment of 2001. to be invested, and the interest to be annually given to the poor.—Mr. 6 rjeant Kinglike and Mr. Greenwood addressed the court for the defence, after which Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. Cockburn, Q.O , and Mr. Moody, were heard on behalf of the ).rost cuter.—Mr. Justice retteson, in passing sentence, said that the assault was of a most kegraveted character, and the sentence of the court was that the idef.Ldant should pay a tine of 2001. to the Queen, and enter into his own recognisance , in 200/., and find two sureties in the sum of 1001. each to keep the peace towards the prosecutor and all her Majesty's subjects for a period of two years. The defendant was removed in custody. - BAIL COURT. Fittings In W.DCO, term, Mr. Justice Colt ridge. Tun QVIMN C. TIM COMMISSIONEW I 01 Ilia WOOD , £t' FOR.IXTS.—BATTLIWKA PAILL.—Mr. Ogle moved fur a rale calling on the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to show cause why a mandamus should not go, commanding hem to isee their precept to the sheriff or under-sheriff of the county of Surrey, directing him is summon a jury to award compsnsation to a Mr. N. Budge, to whom certain Land belonged which the commission:rs had given notice they would require fur the new park. The Bth & 9th Vie., esp. 31, was the act fo: reeking a royal park at Battersea, and by the 22nd section it was enacted that the commis sioners we re to give notice to the different landowner' whose property they intended to take, and on the receipt et such notice the land ,vrnei must send in their claim a ithiu one calendar month. Then the 23rd section provided, that when the parties cool l not agree as to the amount to be given a comp( illation jury should be summoned. The affidavit on which the 1eer,....d counsel now unwed stated that in the month of September, 1816, the commissioners gave notice to Mr. Budge that they meant to take certain freehold property of his, end on receiving information of such intention that gettleman sent in his claim for compensation according to the requirements of the act. Negoti ations had been going on between Mr. Budge, the commissioners, and their nOD citor for the last eighteen months, and it had been frequently proccisecl that a jury should be summoned. Thigs gone on in this way till within the lase fortnight, when the present applicant was informed that it Wan the determinatinn of the commissioners not to refer the matter to a jury at all, inasmuch as they had no funds in hand to meet any sum that might be awarded to Mr. Budge as compensation. The affidavit of the party on behalf of whom the learned counsel moved ,he court went on to state that the deponent hail su stained great pecuniary loss by the delay w hich had taken pl ace in bringing this matter to a decisive Mint, o lire having also been served on deponent's mamas and his business had consequently ceased to be conducted on the property in coiestion. The learned' . counsel submitted that the reason assigned for nut calling a jury torther was not a valid one, tor, by the 3rd section of the act for making Battersea Paris, the Lord High Trea , or the commissioners discharging the duties of that office for the time being, were empowered to lend to the' Commissioners of the Woods and Forests any sum not ex . ceeding 200,0 001 . for any purpose that they might require Mr. Budge had been in communication first with the com missioners, and then with their solicitor and surveyor, having been led to expect that his laud would be taken. The last letter received from the commissioners was dated the 17th of April in the present year. That letter was written by Mr. Milne, one of :be commissioner', in which it was stated that there were no funds to pay for the land in question.—Mr. Justice Coleridge inquired if Mr. Ogle was pre p a red with any cases in which it had been Leld that the answer now set up by the commis sioners was not a good one i — Mr. Ogl e replied that he was, and refet red his lordship to the cases of " Rex v. the Com missioners of Market-street, Manchester" (4 Bernewell and Adolphus) ; and " Regina e. the Eastern Counties Justice Rail way " (Carrel's Ra ilwa y Cases, page 540). —Mr. Coleridge : Take a rule. Ex I'AILTIi BUILMCAB7I.E. Mr. Bovill moved fora rule to show case why a writ of certiorari should not issue ta bring up an i n quest which had been held at Croydon, on the body of Elizabeth Hopkins, alias How ard, and why the inquisition should not either be quashed, or why Dr. Bumuds, the party making the present appli cation, should not have pow, r to traverse it. From the state ment of the learned counsel it appeared that Dr. Burncastle was the medical officer of the Croydon union, and on the '27th of December, 1847, he w as lent was at fur to . attend upon the deceased woman, as she that time expecting every day to be con fi n ed. Although the deceased party's proper name was Hopkins, she was geese ally known by that of !lot/yard, owing to the fact of her living and cohabiting with • man of that nae, H of that oward was a labourer, earning a bout 20.. a week ; m but foot Butscastl• was ignoring, uin forma con- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1848, tion by options, which limited the losa in any case to a certain point. However, it is sufficiently clear that the mesa of the speculative operations in the same sense had been prudently and gradually balanced before hand, so that in reality the quantity remaining over for adjustment to-day was but the minimum propor tion of the whole bulk of transactions which, upon the prevailing idea of the market at the close of the last settlement, had been embarked in upon the ex pectation of a decided fall in public securities. Con sols were, in consequence of the" bear " dealings thus loft exposed, dearer for money than account, until after 2 oclock, the regular hour by the prices of which all outstanding accounts aro made up. They were then quoted 831 to 4 for money, whilst for the account then opened for the 9th proximo they were called only 831 to /. Subsequently, however, prices became more equalised, and Consols left off 831 to 4 for money, and 83/ to 4 for account. The time busi ness engaged in was not of much consequence, and dealers as well as speculators were evidently inclined ' to wait for an event, more especially those habitually viewing affairs on the darker side. Reduced Threes were 821 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 831 to 1. Long Annuities, 81 to 9-16. Exchequer Bills, 395. to 425. premium. India Bond 225. to 255. ' premium. Bank Stock, 189 to 192.

A bargain in French Three per Cents. was done at 49; exchange, 23 francs, 40 cents. Foreign exchange ruled nearly the name as on last poet day, but with rather a lower tendency. On Amsterdam the negotiations were 12.1 to 1 ; on a Rotterdam, 12.4', to 3 ; on Antwerp, no quotations; on Hamburg, 13.14 to 15 ; on Frankfort, 1221 ; on Paris (at short) , 25.30 to 40; on Vienna, 11.30 tis to 15; on Leghorn, 30.75 to :11; on Naples, no quo- S tations; on Madrid, 411 —ill at three months, except r on I'aris.

The court was crowds d with creditors, chiefly silk-weavers, the basins ss of the bankrupts having been conducted in the following manner :—On putting out silk to weave, it was their custom to require a deposit of 51 from each, as a security for the re turn of the goods, for which a written acknowledgment was g iven, with en undertaki n g to Fry interest at the rate of five per cent. The bankrupts owed about 1701. in these emdl BUM. Those weavers who had goods in hand of sufficient value claim. d a lien upon them ; the others sought to prove for their debt. Mr. Hudson, the solicitor under the fiat, recommended that the meeting should be adjourned for • month, in order that some arrangement should be made whereby the holders of goods might Five them up to the ofil ci.l assignee, and in the expectauen that the b a nkrupt Chrees, who bed not y e t surrenthred (having absconded) would do so in the interim.

It had since bet n discovered by the clerk of the petitioner's attorney, that one of the parties who had made himself responsible ler the insolvent's appearance on the day of hearing, hat personated another individual, and that both the " had " were, in ftct, in insolvent circumstances. Affi davits to the above effect having been presented to the court, the insolvent was ordered to come up yesterday, in order that a strict hivestigation into the matter might be made. ties t evidence adduced, it appeared that both the parties who we re accepted u hail were nothing more than lodgers, mud that one of them had admitted that he had perso .ated his brother in consequnce of the ill.health of the latter, but request' d that nothing might be said of the matter, as it would be made "all right." The insolvent stated that, while in prison, he became ac quainted with a person named Smith, to whom lie agreed to give 41., provided bail could be procured fur him (insolvent). Smith thereupon introduced to him two persons named Jones and theenwood, who co..sented to become his sureties upon the terms named; but any knowledge of the mean condition of those two Persona was utterly repudiated by the petitioaer.—The commissioner said it was perfectly clear that the order in this cue must be vacated, and the insolvent committed to prison, inasmuch an the bail had been " hired."—At the urgent request of tho iusolvent, how ever, the case was allowed to stenil over to the end of the day, in order that Mr. Sargood might give him the benefit of his professional talents. As soon as the list was cleared, Mr. Sargood moved for an enlargement of the rule, in order that copies of those afiblavits already presented might be made and counter-affidavits filed. The COlllfliii sioner appeared disinclined to censent to g te application made by Mr. Sargood, but after • very e h nt and logical appeal from that learned counsel, tending to show that his client was altogether innocent of any charge of conrpracy that might Ito urged against him, a rule was granted—re turnable on the 10th instant, being the day originally appointed fur the first hearing.

By the terms of the act the pros n.ional registration only enured for a twelvemonth, when a f. ash one, with the nem • o firs f t f he com mittee, was required to be enured; but the aff o the company continued to lie carried on by the defendant and his twe associates till October in the following year, when it appeared that the eel olc of the Nag p ire, TtichinoPoly, and Calieut line beca the me quie t l y centred centred in the single Pc of pr Mr. Fuller, who was aloac entered at the next re gistration as representing the entre company. The de fendant abo at once reduced the capital from two millions to half that amount, and the shares from 40,000 to 20,000; so that, supposing the entire number of Mieles to have been circulated, wi,ich was believed to be the came, he thus con trived at • single swoop to get into his own hands the pro. duce of halt the number, as out a single farthing had ever twee received, nor the slightest bent lit derived, by the tow; fide holders of the shares.— It was contended for the defendant that the court hail no jurisdiction in the use, is the statutory term of nix months had more than expired since the alleged commission of the offence.— Mr. Arnett, expressed a decided opinion as to the validity of the objection, and ordered the summonses to he dismissed. — The defendant's counsel then n iid that he was instructed to deny, in the most poeitive manner, every allegation that had been made upon his client by the compliinant's counsel. 1 Ile had acted I rom first to last with the strictest Rood faith; and so anxious were all the parties connected with the un dertaking, that everythin4 shuule bo carried out correctly, that they had taken the advice of emin • nt counsel, whowere of opinion that a railway stern dor constructed at Madras, or any other East Indian p re sidency, was not subject to the provision. of the act re gulating those in the United Kingdom.

The thr''ug h IL bondholders, it may be observed, have already sub mitted to more than one nefarious operation of the sort by the acceptance, iu one instance, of a four per cent. stock, instead of the five per cent secured to them by formal contract, to the due fulfilment of which all the revenues of Portugal were pledged. Their easy yielding in these instances has therefore only ended in a project of renewed spoliation. Hopes are entertained in the City of a speedy ad justment, or adjournment under mediation, as the Cabe may be, of the Schleswig-llulstein iiiihroylio. It may be stated as a fact, derived from quarters which should be well informed, that a considerable contract for many thousand stand of arms ordered here for account of the Danish government has been counter manded, a small proportion only having been de livered. It is naturally inferred from this that a , cessation of hostilities will have been negotiated by the mediating powers, England and Russia, the re sult of %%kelt would be the raising of the blockade of the I'russian and, where established, German, ports, with the restitution of captured ships, by the Danish ' government on the one aide, and on the other the withdrawal of the I'russians and the lianoverians from Schleswig, if not from both the duchies. I low far these inferences may be justified by events is not to bu said, but the fact of the arms being counter '. manded may be considered as entitled to credit.

MANcHYSTEU, MAY 9.—Our market is, upon the whole, rather quieter than it was on Tuesday taa:, which is easily to be lac counted for from the aepect of affairs in the north of Europe, es well as from the heavy failures announced within the last few days. We were prepared, however, to expect trade to be worse than it has ac- tually bent to-day. Continental business may be quoted as worse than ever, while it is satisfactory to be able to state that the home trade has been bri•ker within the last few days, is 000 a deal of buei nos having been done in domestics and yarns for home coneump thin. For the Eust sonic lair transtiettons have taken piece in low madapollome, but yarns for the same market hove been in rather less demand of let?, and prices coniequently drooping. The Greek buyers have been operating a littlif more freely, and low 7-6 printers have been rather worse to buy ; but this dee. intim of cloth has of late been so unprecedentnlly depro , ,d, that a slight improvement was to be anticipated whenever inty disposition to glee out ordure beyame apparent. We have found a considerable diderence of opinion to-day as bi the extent of bodiless doing (or the home trede, as well es for the Levant, India, China, he. ; but the re sult of our inquiries has been such so to satisfy us that the state of the market is, upon the whole, better than could have been anticipated, and that but for thej recent unfavourable news from the north of Europe, we should have had to report a continued improvement in the tone of feeling here. Prices are undoubtedly very irregular, i s too many awes being dependent solely upon the immediate aud prem. ing requiremenbf of the seller. Bus:trees to et considerable extent can be done where parties are willing to submit to extremely low rates. This in:lining the better feeling that generally prevails te to our fie tore cospecto ; a hew weeks ago the consideration of price could scarcely induct operations. By the official report of the state of em ployment in the borough of Manchester, male up to this date under Ibe inspection of Capt.

The general result in mills of all kind% including those in the cotton trade, is as follows: an increase of 923 on lull time ; a decrease of 378 on chart time ; and a decrease of 315 in the number out of employment. From Bolton we learn that trade has en improving aspect, nearly all • the milts being now on full time, and the remainder expected to be speedily in full operation.

Oa Dr. Burncastle wing, on the 27th of De cember, he asked whether the necessary order for the attend ance of the union surgeon bad been obtained, when he was intormod that it bad not ; upon which be said that it was In dispensable, but continued his attention to the deceased, sup posing that the order would be granted. Dr. Burneastle waited on E. Hopkins twice on the 27th of December, at eight o'clock jut the evening and twelve o'clock at night ; he also saw her several times on the 28th ; and on the morning of that day it was discovered the child a sh s deanowd, but th ted at c i r cumstance Dr. Burneastle in his sta would facilitate delivery. On the 28th Dr. B ti ur on t icastlfor e was informed by his partner that applica an order bat been ma de to the relieving officer, and by that indiv idual the 'tenon who applied was referred to the guardians, who refuse d to give it. I.lpon this state of things, Dr. Burncastle felt it to be his duty to cease to at- tend E. Hopkins. and his partner so informed the parties attending on the deceased. On the ev.ning of tlie 28th Burneast l e himself called eguin, and after sa ying that Dr. he could no longer continue to be the woman's medical at tendant n tm e ntioned several names of who were practising in Croydon, and recommend ed that entlemen one of them should be sent fur. Upon this a Mr. Ihile was called in. At this time there was no danger in the case. Mr. Dille at tended late that night, and the child was born dead on the morning of the 29th of December, about half-past three o'clock. The woman died on the '29th, but so little was any danger expected that Mr. Dale himself did not see the de ceased directly after the birth, but sent his partner, Mr. Nivett. Rumours ss to the cause of the death began to get abroad in Croydon, the result of which was that an inquest was held on the 2lth of Ja nuary, 1848, which lasted three clays. At that investigation, Dr. Burncastle was desirous of calling medical evidence, but that woo not allowed. The VI edict tound by the jury was that Elizabeth Hopkins, alias Howard, had died in conseque nce of reheu st t o u produced by protracted labour, and that Dr. Burncastle had shown the greatest in humanity by leasing her when in labour, and they (the jury) considered bun an unfit pewit) to act as the medical officer of the union. With regard to death resulting from exhaustion, the learned counsel slated that be had the alli. davits of Dr. Blundell, Dr. Lever of liuy's Hospital, and another medical gentleman connected with that institution, from w hich it appeared t h a t a ccording to the evid ence pro duced at the inquest, the death could out have been the re sult of exhaustion. After the inquest, a meeting of the guardians was held, and Dr. Burncastle di=charged from his office as the union doctor.

Pollock s howed cause yesterday against the rule, and relied, amongst a variety of other authorities, upon the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench last week, in the case of " Lewi. r.

It appeared the question was, whether an attorney-Plaintiff was within the provisions of the 9 st 10 Vic., e. 95, establishing County Courts, and giving a juris. diction in all personal actions where the debt or damag n, es cl.iimed did not ex ceed 201. It enacted , by the G7th sectio that " no privilege shall be allowed to any person to exempt him from the jurisdiction of any court holden under that I act," except as thereinafter mentioned ; and the eleeptions were the universities and 'tanneries, by secs. 110 & 111. By the 129th see. it was enacted, that in any action commenced in a superior court, after the passing of the act, (or any cause "for which a plaint nil have been entered in any ceout holden under this far t, ads a verdict than h ound foe be found foe the plaintiff the said action is founded upon contract, er per than 51., if it be founded on tort, the said plaintiff shall have judg ment for suca sum only, and no costs." The present action was on a hill of exchange, and the verdict was under 201. It was contended that the language used in the 129th section was not stronger than that used in various other acts of par. !lament ,—the 23rd Geo. 11. c. 33, s. 12, establishing the Middlesex County Courts ;" thelo Cleo. '29 a. 3, and 39 &40 O.tii. 111. c. 104, by which the Court of Bequest was i created ; and it had be en decided n " Board e. Parker " (7 East, 4 7), in " Dy er r. Ley " (4th Dowling), and several other c ises, that a plaiutiff.attorney, did not bee his right, and was not bound to sue in the court of requests. In " Lewis v. Hance," re po rted in the Law es of oatSaurday last, Lord giving judgment, said, that il cams (now relied on by Mr. Pollock) " the debt was recoverable in a court created he the set, and in which the plaintiff might have Meal if he pleased. Yet by reason of his privi lege as an attorney, he was held not to be bound to do so. Unless they overruled all those vises , it could not be held that the 129th section of the County Courts Act, per se, sub jected the plaintiff to be deprived of the coats of his suit." Mr. Baror. Parke obsi reed that " Lewis r. the rule, and Hance " was decidedly in point. —Mr. Pearson supported contended that the legislature had clearly shown an inten tion to do away with al l privileges, except those specified. There was no excr ption made in the favour of attorne)a, and it was manifest the legislature inta ndid that they should have no more privilege than ordinary individuals. The facts of the case referred to by Mr. Baron Parke were very similar to those in this cue, but the court ought to give an independent decision, as the question at issue was of general importance.—The Court were of opinion that attorneys were not deprived of their privilege to sue in superior courts ex cept by the express wards of an act of parliament. The legislature had not said so in the County Courts Act. The several authorities which had been cit. d showed that even where stronger words had been used in acts of parliament than those in the 9 & 10 Viet., c. 95, attorneys were not deprived of their privilege except the legislature had, by express words, said they should be. Why should the court suppose now, that the legislature intended to do more by the act in que-tion than had ben done under similar statutes ? —The rule discharged with costs. PREROGATIVE COURT. Before sir Herbert tenner Fiat LUnIIINGTONe. ONAILOW.—VALIDITY 0E A LEGACY. — Thu was a question upon the validity of a legacy bequeathed by the testator, Mrs. Ouslow, to her niece, Miss Emma On. slow, but which had afterwards been erased from the will without any attestation to the e l rasure, which was not en tirely obliterated. It appeared by the aleption of her brother, Sir llcnry Lushington, that the testetv had given some explanation relative to this erasure of the bequest to Miss Emma Onelow , hit niece, and that she had mid:, two codicils to hie sill, in one of which elle bequeathed a legacy of I,ooof. to her nephew, Captain Lushington he eon ot Sir Henry Lushington. It was argued for 'Mint Orieluw, the legatee, that the case of " Cooper r. Bockst " was one in point, and that the court would pronounce in favour of the validity of the bequest —The Court took an elaborate view of the queation, and held that the case above quoted was in point ; that the conversa tion between the testator and her brother, Sir Henry Lushington, in reference to time bad not been clearly stated, from a want of distinct remembrance on the part of Sir It, Lushington ; at the same time stating that there was no doubt but the testator left ample funds to di,charge both legacies ; and concluded by remarking that, under these circumstances, it was of opinion that it was not a valid obli teration, and that the nrubate must pass. Justice must be dune as the law demands, as the obliteration had not been proved have been made be fora the execution of either o the cod ic il, and the costs must be allowed ou t of the estate. f COURT OF BANKRUTCY. Wore Mr. C ommissioner P P ane. A 000 n Esrare.—The certificate of Jonathan Bill chambers, bookseller, of the Strand, was oppcsed by Mr. Unity, on behalf of Mr. W. Tegg,hookseller,the petitioning creditor, on the ground of reckless trading. The balance sheet extended from the lot January, 1849, to the 22nd February, 1848, the date of the fiat. The bankrupt's debts and liabilities were 2,1951.; his assets, 630/. He estimated his profits at 7671. and his losses at 1,0171. His trade ex• prises had been 5841., and his personal expenses 7981. It WAS contendd that the bankrupt, having beed en traing at a loss all along,e oug ht much sooner to have call toge d ther his creditors. Su lately as December lost the bankrupt had pur chased to the amount o f 1041. from Messrs. Tegg; and in three weeks after he convened a meeting of his creditors. — Mr. Fry. on the part of the bankrupt, allege s d that he had ed Futter sever ely from the general depresion in trade, th e book trade lacing one peculiarly subject to the influence of bad times. Ile had also been pat to considerable expense on account of the murder ot his fattier, Mr. W. Bellchambers (which, it will be recol lected, was perpetrated in Westminster a few months ago). His shop had also been broken into, and hence a further loss. He had offered a composition of 10s. in the pound, with security, but this VMS defeated by Mr. Tegg's opposi tion.—The Commissioner regretted that the law did not e nable a majority of creditors to bind the minority, in CAM of conumsitions offered. Here was a case in which the ere ditore might with safety have come to an arransrment with the bankrupt benefl to all parties, after looking into his affairs. The law, however, assumed all bankrupts to be knaves; but this case was certainly an exception, and per haps the exceptions would be mat ore nume the cirorcumstance s us if creditors acted more leniently. Looking all ,it was probable the bankrupt had made the rchase of Mr. Tegg in the expectation of being able to pay; and his man ner of dealing with the books so purchased had been ex plained. It had been recently Bahl at a public meeting that the state of the law of debtor and creditor was de moralising to the debtors, sad he (the commissioner) really thought it was demoralising him.

Complaints, however are that business continue s slu gg ish, and that so littlo disposition exists among dealers to purchase for stock. But although brokers and feeble holders may find this a disadvantage, it. is evident that the best of all business must be the orders, mostly money orders, for real investment. The market is thus quietly but gradually cleared of all share securities pressing fur sale, and a more equable as well as improved tune of prices secured, which in the long run must prove to the advantage of regular dealings. ;al AltE LIST.—LoNnum, MAY 0.
