COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (lkfore the Judge Ordinary.) rne%ri 1. .%%1• ANOTHER y. JACOB.; AND MILLS. Mr. Colo idge. and Dr. Spinks, Q.C., for the plaintiff ; tin :••olicitor•Denend, Dr. Deane, q.c. , and Mr. St.:ll:e for the defendant. The testator. Mr. James Nash, late of Heron's Nest, Chinford, Essex, was formerly confidential clerk in Sir Felix Booth's distillery at Cow Cross. He had, however, for many years been living in retirement. The plaintiff, Mrs. Jacobs, was an old friend of in fact, be haul known her since 1824. :•;11e had been the wife of a comptroller of eued.,itis at Jamaica; but her husband never was in circumstances, and he did not make the smallest provision for his family. The result was that at his death they were left perfectly destitute. Under these circum- Pt.UlCell Mr. Nash took a house for Mrs. Jacobs, and under- t.ok to pmvide for her. He even offered her marriage, and his offer was accepted ; but the engagement was .Iclayed by her ill health, and was ultimately broken o ff . Her children having died, a Miss Emmeline Knight went to live with her as a companion, and she haul been with her ever since. Some years ago Mr. Nash took a cottage for them at Chingford. which he altered, enlarged, and furnished; and after a while he went to live with them. They kept a carriage and went a good deal into society. Last March Mr. Nash was seized with gout and took to his bed. In the following mouth Mr. Mills, a solicitor at Loughton, who had known him for forty years, called on him, and the conversation turned on wills. The testator Mid be had not made his, and requested Mr. Mills to call the next day to prepare one for him. Mr. Mills did so. He was closeted with him for two hours. Mr. Muth fully explained the state of his property and gave his instnic ti..us. The result was the execution, on the atith of April, of the intrument now before the court. The testator died on the 2.ith of the following month, at the age of 74. The will bequeathed legacies of 100/. to Mrs. Jacobs and Miss Knight; it gave his house and furniture at Chingfonl to Mrs. Jacobi' for her life, and then to Miss Knight, and it left his plate to Mrs. Jacobs for her life and then to James Nash Thurgood, the son of his niece. The residue it give to Mrs. Jacobs for life, and then to bleu. Cornell, his sister, for her life, with power of ap pointment to Mrs. Jacob. The value of the property thus bequeathed wax about 10,000/. _ . _ The witnesses in support of the will positively de clared that the testator was perfectly competent when he emitted the will ; that he was not too convivial in his habits ; and that he never had any quarrels with Mrs. Jacobs! Mr. Coleridge was quite ready to admit that Mr. Nash's will would have been a perfectly righteous one if he had merely given Mrs. Cornell a life interest in his property ; but there wax no reason why in the ultimate disposition of it. he should have preferred her to his natural relations. The learned gentleman ridiculed the statement of Mr. Mills, that the testator bad adopted that course from a desire to make Mrs. Jacobs more comfortable in pnesenti. The principal circumstance, however, on which the learned counsel relied for the purpose of discrediting the witnesses called for the will was the fact that they had deposed to the absolute sobriety of the testator ; whereas Mr. James Ballantyne, one of the partners at Booth's distillery, and otherpersons from the establishment, proved that the testator was a continued drunkard. He had a salary of 600/. a year, and he held on to his situation as long as he possibly could, but the partners had eventually (in 1860) been obliged to dismiss him on a pension of 2001. a year for seven years. He used to be sober enough in the morning, but he would take as much as an imperial pint of the strongest gin of an afternoon ; and wham he left he bad often to be strapped in him little gig. He had a very re markable pony, and though he used to sit rolled up in the gig like a ball, and to pull at the reins like a stick, he managed somehow, to the wonder of everybody, to escape serious injury. (The case was not concluded when we went to press.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE SLEIGH ANTI COLVILLE,. Mr. HeatherOpiiosed - ;;;VZia(Orthe aasignees ; Mr. Bagley supported the bankrupta. This was a sitting for discharge. The bankrupts were warehousemen and commission agents, carrying on business in Trump-street, Cheapside. The adjudication was made in March, 1866, upon the petition of a creditor , and at the fi rst meeting assignees were appointed. The accounts relating to the joint estates disclose unsecured debta of 4.5401., and liabilities 1,194/., whilst the asse t s have realised 15/. only. The separate debts are of small amount, and the estate of Colville has produced 160/. On behalf of the assignees, and Meters. Morrison and of Dundee, and Mesas. Preston, Smyth, and Co., of Co.,Haat, creditors, two objections were raised under the 159th section of the act to the bankrupts' application for their orders of dis charge—first, that they hail contracted debts without rea sonable expectation of payment ; and, secondly, that their failure was att ri butable to unjustifiable extravagance in living. In support of the first allegation the accounts were referred to, from which it appeared that befbee the bankrupts commenced dealing with Mews. Morrison and Co. they were deficient to the extent of 6551., which deficiency was increased to 4,251/. at the date of the failure. The bankrupts had also sold goods which they purclamed for 9,700/. at the sum of 9,541/.—a loss of 159/. having thus accrued. Their trading bad resulted in a continual loss, and their expenditure had been unreasonable, Sleigh having lived at the rate of MO/. per year, the yearly expenditure of Colville having been at least 500/. Reference was also made to the circum stance of Sleigh having compounded with his creditors in 1860, and Colville had made an assignment about 12 years since. A separate objection was also made toSleigh upon the ground that he bad not given up some furniture, but the court declined to enter into that question, and upon the two grounds which have been mentioned a long suspension of the orders of discharge, without protection, was asked. Mr. Bagl e y, f or the bankrupts, urged that their failure was due to extraordinary fluctuations of trade from which they had suffered considerably. F or severa l yeast they traded successfully, but they bad been induced to take large premises in the belief that they would receive the support of several la r g e h ouses , which, however, was not extended to them, and they were compelled tosuccumb toa ' combination of adverse circumstances. Their expenditure undoubtedly appeared to be large, but that arose in con- sequence of the frequent journeys they were obliged to take in the transaction of their business. No doubt the conduct of the bankrupts was in some degree censurable, but the learned counsel submitted that there was nothing in the ease to call for any extreme sentence from the court. His Honour, in giving judgment, said be was always ready to show every indulgence to bankrupts who bad traded honestly and reputably, and who were oom jelled by misfortune to come to this court for relief ; but here the cue was different. He considered it quite clear that both the charges made against the bankrupts bad been established, and the orders of dis charge would b e sus p en d e d for six months upon each ground, making 12 months in all ; protection would be given for three months only, renewable upon a special ap plication to the court and notice to the assignees. Suspension accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Recorder.) THE ISLINGToN BURCLART CARE. Raphael Ciotti, 50, described as a marble merchant, Antonin OaMont, 30i, shoemaker, and Mathew Deola, .R. engineer, were indi c ted f u r feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house of John Votieri, and stealing therein 130 precious stones, known as onyx stance, his Property. The prisoners Oa'Boni and Decola pleaded guilty. The prisoner Mai pleaded not guilty and was put upon hin Mr. Metcalfe, with whom was Mr. Straight, conducted the prosecution, instructed by Messrs. Wontner ; Mr. Wriest:it Itallazitine (specially retained) and Mr. Montagu 'William s (supported by Mr. Willis) defended the prisoner. The circumstances of the ease were of a very compli cated character, and their investigation is expected to occupy the att e nti o n o f th e court and jury during the whole of the day. It may be remembered from the te nons already published of the police-court examination of the prisoners that the prosecutor is a dealer in precious st"hea residing at 24, Park-street, Islington, and was also etrcutor and trustee under the will of the father of the r n .her eiocci's wife, who was entitled to some property nod, r her father's will. About this a claim had been mele by the prisoner and resisted by the prosecutor, and it seemed from the opening statement of Mr. Metcalfe that th e prisoner conceived the notion of pawning him- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1867. self of swim of the property which he knew to be deposited in the house of the prosecutor. For this pur pose it was alleged that he engaged the services of a man named D'Angelis, who retained the assistance of the two prisoners who had pleaded guilty. It would appear that all the parties were constantly seen together up to the night of the robbery, and that the three prisoners, with D'Angelis, went together to the house. The prisoner Gucci remained outside, and the other three men entered, and having gagged the servant boy, °anima and Decola began their !watch for the property, when D'Angelis, who had been secretly in communication with the police, by signal called them in, and Gallioni and Deoola were taken into custody on the spot. (The ease w.ts proceeding when our report left, and, as already stated, would occupy the day.) THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH...STREET. CURIOUS CAA!. --- Pefrr Pjannenger, who was described as an Italian, and who on Monday laid, when before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on the charge of assaulting Wilhelm Bock, a waiter at Mr. Kuhn's restaurint, Hanover-street, Regent-1r reet, pre tended not to he able to understand Mr. Albert, the interpreter, who spoke to him in Italian, French. German, and English, remaining perfectly silent, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. It may be remembered that the prisoner went to the restiurant and begged, and on the prosecutor trying to remove prisoner from the door, he received a severe cut on the hand. Ou the prisoner being placed in the dock to-day, he fell down on hia knees and placed himself in the attitude of prayer. Mr. Albert said that the two days detention the prisoner had undergone had effected a cure of the prisoner, as he had spoken to him in French. The prisoner was not an Italian, but a Belgian. Mr. Albert road over the evidence to the prisoner in French. _ _ The prisoner said he wanted to get away from London. tie had been eight months in London. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a case he could not withdraw from the jury, and committed the prisoner for triaL W.N.W. N.N.W. N. LW. W.D.R.

In the Stock Exchange to-day the principal feature is a steady demand for English government securities, which exhibit an upward tendency. It is stated that some considerable sums have been withdrawn during the last two or three days from the joint stock banks and discount houses for investment in the funds, owing to a desire on the part of many persons to obtain a better rate of interest than that (two per cent.) now afforded by those establishments. Consols are without variation, but the Three per Cents. Re duced and New Three per Cents., from which the dividend will be deducted next Friday, have improved k per cent. Other securities are quiet, and prices show no change of importance, with the exception of a fall of „ per cent. in Danubian scrip. The attention of the dealers is chiefly directed to the settlement of the fortnightly account, which will be completed to-morrow. The demand for money is moderate, and the supply large. The rate for choice paper is 21 to 2/ per cent., with occasional transactions at 2A. Advances for a few days on English government securities are obtainable on the Stock Exchange at l / to 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 91 to both for money and the account (March 7). Foreign stocks have been little dealt in. Danu bian scrip is heavy, and has declined per cent. Spanish Passive and Chilian scrip have also receded while Russian scrip has improved to the same ex tent. Greek bonds are quoted 15i to 16 ; Spanish Passive, 22 to ; ditto Certificates, 14g to ; Italian of 1861, 53i to ; Mexican, 17} to f ; Russian Scrip, 2, 0 to prem. ; Chilian Scrip, 21 to 2} die. ; and Danubian Scrip, 11 to 1 dia. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined per cent., the present price being 731 to f. Erie Rail way shares are quoted 37 to 4, and Ulinois Central, 77 to 4, showing no change. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quiet at 15 to ; and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. Pre ference, at 2} to I. International Financial shares are quoted 21 tot die. ; London Financial, 18i to 1771 &M. ; General Credit, 3to 23 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 63 to .; die. ; National Discount, 8} to j prem., ex div.; and Hudson's Bay, 16i to The ou tg oing steamer with the Bombay mail will rot t ak e any specie. The lama/lien, which is expected to reach Southampton from the West Indies in a few days, will, it is thought, bring about 600,0001. chiefly Mexican dollars. The from New York, has brought 32,0001. in spade. The French mail steamer Lafayette has reached St. Nazaire from Mexico with 52,0001. in specie. No alteration of importance took place yesterday afternoon in the foreign exchanges. The rate for bills on St. Petersburg was slightly better for this country. The list is subjoined : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.184 to 11.181; ditto, abort, 11.16 to 11.17 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.184 to 11.181 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.371 to 25.40; Brussels, 3 months, 25.374 to 25.40 ; Hamburg and Altana, 3 months, 13.84 to 13.9 ; Berlin, Cologne, Ac., 3 mouths, 6.254 to 6.26• St. Petersburg, 3 months, 314 to 31 , Paris, short, 25. 16 to 25.20 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.324 to 21.374 ; Marseilles, 3 months, 23.324 to 23.374 ; Prenilbrt.on.the.Maine, 3 months, 1191 to 1204 ; Vienna, 3 mouths, 12.96 to 13 ; Trieste, 3 months, 13 to 13.5 ; Madrid, 3 months, 48 to 471 ; Santander, 3 months, 48 to 471; Cadiz, 3 months, 49 to 4,4; Seville, 3 months, 49 to 481; Malaga, 3 months, 48 to 471 ; Valencia, 3 months, 484 to 48; Bar. oakum, 3 months, 481 to 484 ; Bilks, S months, 48 to 471 ; Saragossa, 3 months, 48 to 471 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 26.90 to 27 ; Genoa, 3 months, 26.90 to 27 ; Naples, 3 months, 26.90 to 27 ; Palermo, 3 months, 26.90 to 27 ; Mewoina, 3 months, 26.90 to 27 ; Lisbon, 90 days' date, 524 to 52 ; Oporto, 90 days' date, 624 to 52. The statement just issued by the liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), is regarded as unexpectedly favourable, as compared with the gloomy anticipations which have latterly been entertained. It shows that between the estimate of the company's assets and its liabilities there is a difference of only about 60,000/. ' and if to this be added, say 100,0001. for interest on the company's debts from the date of the stoppage—a liability which the liquidators do not seem to have em braced in their statement—it results that the share holders are not likely to be called upon to provide more than 200,0001. in addition to the demands already made upon them. On the 100,000 shares of which the company is composed a call of 31. per share would probably suffice to raise this sum, after allowing for those shareholders who are unable or unwilling to pay their quota. It is to be hoped that these estimates may be realised, but it must be borne in mind that the figures dealt with are still very large, and the final issue pro portionately doubtful. With reference to the Joint Stock Discount Com pany (Limited) Mr. R. P. Harding, the official liquidator, announces that a further dividend of Is. 4d. in the pound will be payable to the creditors on Monday next, the sth inst. The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5531. over last year, and the Glasgow and South Western a decrease of 2011. An inquiry addressed to the Great Eastern Rail way Company, with regard to the l eg ality of Mr. Laing's scheme for raising additional capital, has elicited an official reply, that " the new issue of debentures has been settled by two eminent counsel, who give an unhesitating opinion that the security is on the same footing as that of other railway debentures." At the half-yearly meeting yesterday of the General Steam Navigation Company, a dividend was declared at the usual rate of 10 per cent. per annum. Mr. Thomas Mileham, for many years chief cashier at the head office of the London and County Bank, has been appointed manager of the branch banks in the Caledonian-road and at Barnet, hitherto united with the Islington branch, the in creasing importance of these branches rendering this step necessary. The directors of " Halcomb and Co., Sack Con tractors (Limited)," have declared an interim divi dend at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum. Creditors of the London Offices Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to Messrs. H. T. Edwards and W. Farmer, the liquidators, by the 11th of March, the 25th of that month having been appointed for ad judicating upon them. The preparations yesterday for the half-monthly settlement to-morrow in railway and other shares showed generally only a very moderato supply of stock, in consequence of which the rates of " con tinuation" were light. In the afternoon, however, there was an increase in the terms as regards Mid land and Metropolitan Railway stocks. Subjoined are some of the particulars: CONTANGO6.

Lane, who has just visited the diamond mines of Brasil, and tells us that in taking the gems from the earth • driver places his gang of slaves in a mud hole where the gems are found, and pan■ out the earth in the water like gold waahers. The negroes are naked, to prevent them secreting the diamonds in their clothes. They are re quired to work facing the overseer, and forbidden to raise • hand to the face, lest they should swallow the jewels when found. Yet they do carry them away, by becoming so expert that they can snap them with their fingers from the pan to the mouth without detection."

MARK : LANE.-(THD3 DAY.) The quantity of English wheat on male here this mom. deg was very moderate, and chiefly composed of samples left over from Monday. Even the finest samples moved off slowly at that day's decline in the quotation... In foreign wheat, the show of which was tolerably good, very little was vutaing on former terms. Several floating cargoes of wheat off coast were disposed of. The demand for them, however, was far from active. Barley, both English and foreign, was dull, and Is. per qr. lower than last week. No quotable change took place in the value of malt. The supply was seasonably good. Oats were in fair request, on former terms. On the whole the stands were well supplied. Beans were rather drooping in price, although the show of samples was by no means extensive. In peas very little was doing, at barely stationary prime. The flour trade was heavy, at Monday's currency. Clover seed was in steady request, at full prices. Other seeds, as well as cakes, were a slow inquiry. CURRENT MUM KNOLLS& Per Qr. wan?. a. a. Essex.
