LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before the Master of the Roth.) cRIPASWELL AND JACNISON. 1 This, the Derbyshire will ease, which has excited so mach .Ir,ntion, now came on upon further considerations. t will be remembered that no lees thee three trials at Lw have taken place, in which the question was the validity the three alleged codicils to George Haden's will. The first trial resulted in favour of the plaintiff, in other w ords in favour of the codicils, the second and third trials, weever, were in favour of the defeadaate and invalidated the codicils. The plaintiffs taking no step in the matter, the defendants now set the cause down for further consi deration, the argument on which was heard to-day. Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr. Osborao, and Mr. Erskine were for the plaintiffs; cud Mr. Selwyn, Mr. Merit:sat Hayes, Mr. RAggallay, Mr. Hot:amuse, Mr. Barrage, Mr. Bush, sad other learned counsel for the several claws of defendants. His Honour dismissed the bill with costa, sad ordered that each party should bear their own costa of the first trial and of the appeals to the Lords Justices and the House of Lords ; the costs of the second and third trials to be paid by the plaintiffs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. II :Nitiop at Niai Prise is Iliiikilasex.—(llsiore Mr. Justice Keating and n Cows Jury.) ?MALI r. HECK LIM WIFE. —BI.O7DZIL —. • Thu was u action to recover damages for slander, and the defendants pleaded that the alleged slander was true. Mr. 3. 3. Powell, Q.C., and Ye. T. Brown, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Berjeant Salentine and Mr. Pearce for the defendant.. The defendant in this ease kept the Oxford and Cam bridge Tavern, in Chalk Farm road, bat the billiard and racket busioese was les off to Mr. Hall, wbo watered into as agreement with the plaintiff that they should Garry on the billiard and racket bushier am partners. The plaintiff and Mr. Hall lived in the tavern, and their wives visited them oceaaimally. The slander was that Mrs. Keck stated that she had seen adultery committed by the plaintiff and Mrs. Hall at the tavern. . . The plaintiff wan exam' , e deni ed on oath that TedT there was any truth in the imputation cast upon him. The law being that no action will lie for verbal slander, unless the words spoken impute some offence punishable by law, or unless special damage can be shown, it became necessary for the plaintiff to show special damage iu this can. For this purpose it was stated, that in coon ,,uence of that slander the partnership between the plaintiff and Mr. Hall was put an end to, and the plaintiff lost the mat that he would otherwise have made. The agreement, however, did not mention any term during which the part nership should last, and this being so, the question of law arose, whether any special damage arum from its being ter minated. Yoder these circumstances, s suggestion made by his lord ship wu adopted, and it was arranged that s juror should a withdrawn. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittinp in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Bazar' Pollock, and Herons Mama, &ammoll. nod Channel.) SCOTT V. PT IH. - • . This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Miss Scott, the owner of 20 cottages in the neighbourhood of Sheffield, against the defendant, Messrs. Firth, to recover damages for injury done to the property in campaign. of • con tinual hammering in an adjoining factory. beloegiog to them. It was alleged that the walls of the house. had been cracked by the vibration caused by the defeodant's machinery. The factory was also complained of as a nui sance. The awe was tried before Mr. Justice Blackburn, at York, when a verdict was found for the defendant, ou the plea of not guilty. Subsequently, Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., obtained a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside soda sew trial had on the ground that the ver dict was against the weight of evidence, sod also cei the ground of surprise at the trial Mr. Mauisty, Q.C., Mr. Field, Q.C., and Mr. Waddy showed against the rule; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., Mr. T. Jooes, and Mr. Kemple; were heard in support of it. The Lord Chief Berm was of opinion that the rule should be made absolute on the ground of surprus. At the trial a defence was mitered upon which was entirely unexpected by the plaintiff—via., that the walls became cracked in consequence of the defective foundation, and of their being badly built-en allegation which turned out to be entirely untrue. it wee, no doubt, • misfortnee to set aside a verdict and grant ano trial, males it was clear that an injustice had been done ; but an objection on that ground did not apply to • case where an unexpected defence. had been set up which proved to be unfounded in fact Possibly the verdict in this action might have been found the other way if the truth bad been completely told, and this line of defence had Dot been entered upon. Mr. Bares Martin wee always extremely unwilling to great • new trial on the ground that the jury had made a mishits*, but this was one of those cases in which a great deal of prejudice existed and ought to be carefully watched. A manufacturer purchased land adjoininogg some houses, erected • factory in which he introduced m r ichinery that mimed • great vibration, and injured the neigh bouring property ; and he did all this for hie own profit. He knew that in the north of &gland great prejudice existed in them matters, and it was ddlladt to get a fair Mud, the juries being (aooording to his experience) determined, if the possibly could, to and • verdict for the defendant. If, thererwfore, • flee state ment was made in respect to an important matter it might have had • considerable effect upon the jury in giving their verdict. He thought that upon this ground there ought to be a new trial. Persons were entitled to eejoy their pro perty free from vibration caused by neighbouring premiss, and be knew of no rule of law which enabled a person to disturb soothe?, occupation of real property by works like those complained of here, which he erected entirely for his own profit and advantage. Mr. Baron Bramwell and Mr. Baron Cita/men °occurred in making the rule absolute. Rule absolute for a new trW. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Melon th• Jude Onikary.) PODMOU IP. MUTTON.

The defendant, a gentleman at Birmingham, was examined, and be admitted having destroyed some papers relative to the deceased ; but be denied that amongst them was any will or draft of a testatory character. Mr. Huddleston submitted that the presumption of the law in such • cam was that the will which had remained in the custody of the testatrix down to her death had boom destroyed by her.

It Ilogs 11 Ifpwi '}il Kwar MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two °Timm. Although the weekly court at the Bank of England has separated without reducing the rate of discount, and business in the Stock Exchange remains very inanimate, prices to-day are steady, at yesterday's quotations. The funds are quite unaltered. The only feature of importance is a rise in Mexican Old Bonds. Home railway stocks are firm. Since the announcement that the directors of the Bank of England have decided not to reduce the rate of discount to-day, the demand for money has slightly revived, and per cent. is the lowest rate in most quarters for good three months' bills. It is thought that' the inquiry will somewhat increase to-mor row, as many bills have doubtless been kept back in expectation of a decline to-day iu the Bank's charge. The supply of money is large. In the Stock Exchange there is a fair demand for short loans on government securities, at 5 to 54 per cent. _ . At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three par Cent. Renton opened at 66fr. 96c., being the same as yesterday. Console are nowquoted 901 to g, ex div., both for money and the account (June 8).

It will be noticed that the applications within the limits amounted to 2,140,0001. On the last ooze sion they were 1,240,0001., and, before that, 850,0001. At a meeting of the committee of bankers, held at the Clearing-house on Monday last, it was decided that the united business of the Agra Bank and Messrs.
