EQUITY COURT. (Before Viet-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) IN RE !MANLEY'S TRESTE. 11:e following curious point arose of this petition A testator died in October, 1.h.55, having by his will, ,:rd in the May preceding, devised and bequeathed all nil personal estates to trustees upon certain trusts pia youngest child should attain 24, and then upoa tr...* to s-,11 the real estate and stand, possessed the proceeds and the persona lt y , as One mixed r..... 1. and to divide the clear residue into four rate of which ho gave to his son James, .a.other for the benefit of his daughter Ann Maria, her :0.41 children, with a proviso that if she should he a hoot children and without appointing the share, it go to the persons who would be entitled as " next o: i t . soil. r the statute in c se she had died intestate and The two remaining shares he gave in similar for the benefit of his two other daughters, Harriet pii.l then provided that any shares to which of his three daughters should become entitled by iirtue of the will, " M next of kin of the others or other of them, or of his son," should beheld upon the same trusts the origin..l shares. The daughter Harriet married and ,h• d in December, 185.5, but under the age of 21, and not mails any appointment. Some time afterwards, 5' • tr of tier share discovered that the testator's (.:t iiriilren were illegitimate, having been born before ti.. ..Irmo of the testator with their mother, which ha.k place in May, 1832 ; awl that the testator himself was 111, itimate. The mother was still living. In con s,. iienic of the illegitimacy of Harriet, there was no next o f kin of hers to whom her share amid go ; hence it was tailihrosed in hy the testator's will, and as he wee Slee t; had no next of kin, one-half was claimed by the crown, the widow being entitled to her moiety. It ‘, i iiie.l, however, on behalf of the daughters, that te:tator bad actually referred to his surviving r 1 ra under the phrase • ' next of kin of the others, or rt of them, or of his son," ho had used the term "next in a sense which showed his intention that it • include his children, and that the court would ..! ,111.1 e it accordingly, although the children were ills )! • .

Certainly not. Not It a. 1 1 ,1 it have been an extremely roundabout way of :tin_ the very persons whom the testator had named ; hut that did not seem to be precisely what the inknded. Suppose the son had died, and then glace had - flied, leaving children, was it I . to suppose that it was not intended t• t the son's share should not go to such children? It was ;,• if tie testator bad said, " I intend that all my ,1 Ir, n. though illegitimate, should be treated as if they • r I,gitiniate." His Hunour could not hold that • rrintous description of persons as next of kin in one ~f . will, would let them in as personal designate in other; art of the same will. The ;result would be that a i,l -sr must be held entitled to one moiety, and the to the other. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

" Now, the fact was that Mr. , Sinclsir's remuneration was fixed at so mach par mile and did not depend in any way upon the cost at which the line should be made ; and at that time his duty was confined to making new lines as he had resigned his appointaient, in the moat honourable manner, of engineer to the permanent way department. He (the Attorney. General) had no doubt that Lord Redeedsla had beard ' some rumours or statements upon which he had acted, and he was convinced that his lordship would not bare made the assertions that he had from any personal hostility to Mr. Sinclair, but a professional man could not rest under imputations made by so exalted • parsonage and there fore he had been compelled to bring this a ction. Lord Redesdale after the action was brought had written cer tain letters which were not satisfactory, and Mr. Sinclair felt it necessary to take steps to state publicly on oath that there was no truth in the statements which had been made. Mr. Huddleston said that he was fulfilling the desire of Lord Redesdale in stating on his behalf that Mr. Sinclair had satisfied his lordship that the rumour's that he had bean compelled to resign his appointment of engineer and that he was to have a par ceiling's upon the price he fixed for making the Dunmow line were incorrect, and in with drawing those charges, and in apologising for having made them. His lordship had acted solely in reference to the interests of the public in bringing the matter of the Dun mow line before the House of Lords. The solicitor of the oompany wrote in reference to that statement, and this led to the correspondence, in which, unfortunately, the • unfounded statementa complained of were made. The Lord Chief Justice said that this was • very satis factory termination of the matter. Ne one could doubt that Lord Redesdale had been infineaced by no private ; motive, but had acted solely with • view to the public in terests. His lordship occupied a position of much im i pittance in reference to private bills, and this gave much greater importance to what he had said, but when Lord ; Redesdale had satisfied himself that his statements were g unfounded, everybody might accept his apology with the . I fullest reliance that there was no imputation of any kind . . resting upon the plaintiff. A verdict was then taken by consent for the plaintiff for nominal damages. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) CHAPMAN r. CHAPMAN. In this c eard cue the court intimated its opinion that the of cruelty could not be sustained. The jury, therefore found for the husband, and The petition was dismissed. PEACOCK P. LOWE This is a probate cause, which is likely to last for several days ; but It had not made mitbeient progress to render a report at this stage desirable. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commialiomer Gotlimn.) IN RI F. B. LOCKR 00D. The bankrupt was an auctioneer and valuer, of Gray's inn-road, and Robert-terrace, Chelsea. It appeared that be had petitioned the court on a D. stamp, his debts being returned under 300/. ; but it afterwards transpired that the debts exceeded 3007., and the case was ordered to stand over to enable the bankrupt to pay the additional duty of 41. This bad been done, and he now applied for his order of discharge. A creditor named Soper opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had retained 111., the proceeds of goods entrusted to kiln for sale, instead of paying over the amount. It was submitted that the court bad power to deal with the case under the 159th section of the act. His Honour said that the court was restrained from punishing • bankrupt except for the offences specified in the 159th section, and bad now no general discretion. He much regretted that the court bad no power to travel out of the strict words of the statute, and be had no alterna tive but to give the bankrupt his order of discharge. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN AC MIKS FRAY. This lady, who is well known from her fre quent appearance in the law courts, appeared for the second time before the court as • bankrupt. She alleges that the present bankruptcy is attributable to insufficiency of income and law costs, and thus describes herself in the proceedings : Rotuma Dupin Fray, of 14, South-street, Grosvenor-square, dressmaker and milliner. There are only two creditors—Mr. H. R. Voules, solicitor, Gresham-street, for 264 ; and Mr. Henry Cotehell, 14, South-street, Grosvenor-square, 501. This was the first sitting, but no debt was proved, and the 16th of April, at two o'clock, was axed fur last examination and discharge; CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Willem.) THE LIBEL ON THE HANOVREIAN MINISTER. At the sitting of the court, Gustare Victor, the Pole, who was convicted at the last session of publishing • libel upon Baron Von Blom, formerly the Hanoverian Minister at this court, the libel imputed to him being that he had employed a person named Emerfek to easasainese the King of Prumia, was pieced at the bar to receive judgment. Mr. Hibton, before judgment was passed, addressed the court, and said that he wished it to be understood that an impression which had gone abroad that the Prussian go vernment bad withdrawn from the prosecution on the former occasion had no foundation whatever. Mr. Justice Willis said he was quite aware of that fact. He then proceeded to pass judgment upon the prisoner. lie said that he had been convicted of a most pitiful offence, that of imputing to gentlemen of means and position. the base act of meeting to person to commit murder, narsely, the murder of the King of Prussia. There did not appear to be the slightest foundation for the charge in question, and it was a moat serious one, and judgment had been respited in the hope that he would express some contrition for his con duct. and that inquiries might be made about his former character. Those inquiries were not at all satisfactory ; and it also appeared that he had not expressed the least contrition for his disgraceful conduct, and he bad there fore to pass upon him the sentence of the law. The character of Baron von Blom had been completely cleared from the slightest suspicion, if any such had ever entered the mind of any me, and this being so, the justice of the case would probably be satisfied by his sentencing him tabs imprisoned for four months. (Before Baron Bramwell.) THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN BEDFORD figekRE. James Maitre, 23, described as a reports', was charged with feloniously shooting at John Chown, with intent to murder him. Mr. Gifford, Q.C., conducted the prosecution with Mr. Poland and Mr. Beasley ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ribton. The facts of this case will be fresh in the recollection of our reader.. The prosecutor was • police-constable, and on the 114th of January he went with another constable named Cbamberlayne to watch • house in ffidroouth-street. Gray's-inn-road, for the purpose of apprehending the prisoner, who was suspected of being concealed there, upon the charge of being a deserter from the Royal Engineers. After waiting all day, the primmer came out, and the officers followed him to Bedford-square, where Chown' went up to him and asked him if his name was Cloncy. He replied that it was not, and that it was Road, and that he lived at Camden-town; and he had just come from there. Chown., upon this, told him that be should apprehend him for being a deserter and the moment be said this the pri soner put • stick between Chowne's legs and threw him down and ran off. Both officers pursued him, and be then turned deliberately round and fired a revolver at the prosecutor, and the bullet whizzed close past his ear. The pursuit was continued, and just as Cbamberlayne came up with the prisoner be fired a second shot, and it had the effect of blackening his whiskers. Chamberlayne then seized the prisoner, and at the same instant he fired another sho t. A bystander mid to him, " You rascal, what did you try to shoot me for !" and he replied that he did not intend to shoot him, and when he was asked who it was he intended to shoot, he nodded at Cbamberlayne. As the prisoner was being conveyed to the pohoratation, he raid, " I have had a good fight and fought a fair duel, and I can only say that I have not been paid for it." A revolver was taken from the prisoner which had six --ad to have been dia RTS. r - IMPORTANT TO tiles OE FRIENDLY ROCIRTIIB. Mr. Hearn Weedier*. _steme6try is the Task's Heed United Priemedly ety, held at the White Mane Tliteisald'ieroad, was wanimensd before r. Clubs to dry came why be unlawfully usgiensd and rag sad to pay to Mrs. Elisabeth Donn, the widew of William Doren, who was • free member of the said moiety, the sum of 10d., suck sum being allowed by the rules of the society for the funeral of • free member who should die dim the wood year of bis being • free moles, and the said William Donn having been • free am ber for more than two years, contrary to the statute. Mr. John Walieling, solicitor, appeared for the com plaisant, and asked for an immediate order for the pav ement of the money, as he considered this to be a very hard ease. It appeared from the evidence, that the above society was formed December 31, 1850, by the complainant's bus band and three others, and the nits@ were certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt, in August of the following year. All contribu tions were paidby deceased up to December 30. Thesociety was then held at • pablichouse in Crown-street, Bobo, and deceased's son was told it would be removed from that house to the White Hone, and that the next meeting night would be the 6th of January; Neither the deceased nor his son went on that day, but on going afterwards the son was told that there was no meet ing on the 6th, and that there would be none until the 29th. At that time the complainant was sick, and wanted to declare on the funds. On the 25th the complainant's hus band died, and on the 27th the defendant was informed of the death, and asked for the funeral money. The del en. dant said the complainant was not entitled to it, as the deceased ought to have attended on the feb, and further, that the case must be settled by the magistrate. The society had bold a committee meeting since, and bad borne out the secretary in the Bourse h ead adopted. The defendant said the committee relied on the follow ing rule for the non-payment of the demand :—" Any member neglecting to pay his contributions on the first or second meeting nights after the dinner at Christmas shall be fined 3.1. for each neglect, and not be entitled to any benefit from this society until such payments are made good ; this article to be read every meeting night." Mr. Wakeling contended that the rule could net apply to cases of death of members. Mr. Cooke said the rule in question did not apply in this case, sod ordered the payment of the amount claimed, hut without coats. He thought it highly improper to attempt to exclude • member from benefits after be bad belonged to the society for so many years, and had always paid his contributions. The defendant said that the decision of the magistrate made the rules of the society a dead letter. PUBLIC MEETINGS.-(THIS DAY.) SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY. The half-yearly general meeting of the proprie tors of this company was held at 1 o'clock, at their City offices, Bishopsgate-street Within ; Mr. C. CAPPER, M.P., occupied the chair. There was a large attendance of share holders. In moving the adoption of the report The CH CPMAN said it must be satisfactory to the pro prietors that the anticipations of the directors bad been so fairly realised, and he could only express a hope that in the future they would be able to present a better account than even they had done on the present occasion. It was with regret that the directors had to state that the licenses grated by the Lords of the Privy Council for landing foreign cattle in the docks, for the transmission by railway to the metropolitan market, had been revoked, and this branch of trade was now entirely stopped. This had been a serious loss to the oompany, because they calculated the trade at 3,0001. a year. They intended petitioning against the Metropolitan Cattle Market Bill, and they hoped to be able to throw it out on its preamble. This they would try to do in the interests of the proprietors, and he hoped they would be supported in what they in tended to do. Mr. FRANCIS Li Barron, deputy-chairman, seconded the adoption of the report. After one of the shareholders had expressed his approval of the character of the report, The CHAIRMAN stated that the London and South West am Railway Company would lose 20,000/. a year by their exclusion from the ca•tle waffle. and it was the intention of the directors of that company to petition parliament to be beard on the subject. The report was then received and adopted. A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was de clared payable on the oth of March next. The retirinf directors, Mr. C. Hemery, Admiral Sir P. W. Wallis, k.C.8., Mr. T. L. Davison, and Mr. J. Tem perley, were unanimously re-elected. Thanks were voted to the auditors, Messrs. Trenow and ' Mr. Young, and they were requested to continue their services for the current year. The CHAIRMAN remarked that they were deeply indebted to their auditors for their services, and he did not think the accounts of any company were better kept than were those of the Southampton Dock. Mr. YOUNG, in returning thanks, said the bunneu of this company was conducted in the most economical man ner, and the various officers deserved credit for the manner in which they discharged their various duties. Thanks to the chairman, the secretary (Mr. Bolger), the superintendent, and other officers of the company, con cluded the proceedings. INTJ • : ; (ST numpasill4 NOTTINGHAM MEETING.—(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Speke left the Bodmin-road station on the Great Western line by the 8.56 express train yester day morning. The fact of the reverend gentle man's departure for London quickly became known along the line, and curiosity was evinced at the several stations. At one point it is said a passenger in the garb of a clergyman with a travelling rug around him, was taken for Mr. Speke, and the annoyance to which he was sub jected became so great, that an explanation was absolutely necessary. Throughout the journey Mr. Spoke conversed freely on general topics, but never hinted at his own strange con duct, and he appeared to be perfectly rational. His health seems very good. On the arrival of the train at Paddington at a fow minutes past 6 last evening, Inspector Williamson left the party, and Mr. Speke with his relatives proceeded at once to the relidence of his family. rARKET.-(THIS DA F.)

(Limited) have assented to the reso lutions passed at the meeting on the 3rd inst. The failure is announced of Messrs. W. H. Smith, Barry, and Co., a respectable house in the East India trade, with liabilities amounting to about 60,0001. The assets comprise 45,000/. due from the Calcutta to the London house, and a sum of 15,0001. which is expected to be realised in England, making together 60,0001., or equal to the liabilities. Amongst the causes of the difficul ties of the firm are the decease of a partner, and the consequent withdrawal of upwards of 10,000/. I fr om the business during the last two years, large shipments to the East in 1867 much in excess of the sales, and unfavourable exchanges. The fol- I lowing circular has been sent to the creditors : 150, Leedanhall-street, London, Feb. 24. Dear Sir, — We regret to inform you that although our IMr. W. H. Smith left this for Calcutta in the month of December last, with a view to effect the immediate rash nation of the assets of the arm, which are nearly all in 'lndia, we are unable, in the absence of remittances, to meet our engagements, maturing on the 4th proximo.

H. SMITH, BARRY, AND Co. The Stock Exchange committee were yesterday requested to decide a point arising out of the use of Griesell v. Bristowe. By the laws of the Stock Exchange, the members are mutually liable to each other as principals, and Messrs. Bristowe Brothers have applied to the committee, requesting them to order Messrs. Barry and Co. (Mr. Grissell's brokers) to give security for the costs of the appeal. On the ground, however, that the case is pending on appeal in the law courts, the committee to-day decided to adjourn the question. The directors of the General Credit Company have issued a special report with reference to their suit against the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Conway. This publicationispromptedbyadesireou the pest et the directors of the General Credit Com paw " to put the shareholders of both companies la . posesesion of 'true version of the ease," especially Bs view of the statement* contained in the report Cot issued by the London, Chatham, and Dover mpany. The General Credit directors point out that they hold the reoeipts of Mr. Johnson, the aseretary of the railway, proving that the =soy reached its proper destination • and Messrs. Freshfields and Newman tee: tify that every farthing of the advance was received and applied for the purposes of the rail , way. The railway directors, on the other hand, contend that the claim depends on the state of the accounts between the railway company and the con *actors—an assertion which the General Credit totally deny. The language held by the General Credit directors is most uncompromising and explicit. They denounce the attempts of the rail [way company to drag them into litigation, express l a confident opinion that the law of the case will be fend to coincide with the honesty of the case, and *q remark : Ono of two eandmisna b iamdtable.

An inquiry was held at the Coal Exchange Tavern, Sk Mary-at-II dl. City, last evening, by Mr. Payne, coroner, relative to the death by fire of Eleanor Baird, aged 63 years. Tho deceased was the wife of an old soldier, now blind, and she lived with him at No. 37, St. Mary-at-Hill. On Sunday, while sitting at the tire, her clothes became ignited ; she screamed out and her husband became aware of what had happened by the glare of the fame affecting his eyes so that he could almost see it. lie was unable however, to give her any assistance, and when a neigh bour ran in not only her clothes but her hair was in a blase. Her flesh was charred in a frightful manner, and she died in great agony shortly afterwards. The jury returned • verdict of "Accidental death by fire." 'EXTRAORDINARY CARS OF BIGAMY." TO TN MOTO* or TNT TITUS& you will do me the favour to insert this letter I shall feel grateful. Although in atteadance at the Old Bailey with reference to promodinp in this cue, I was not even " allowed " to be present in court while the case was tried, and consequently had no opportunity of hearing the evidence in any way, on either side. I well know th►t &molding to law no mats can give evidence against his wife in any shape or form, except for a divorce ; but at the same time allow me to state that the first years of our married life were spent in tolerable happiness and comfort, nor did I behave unkind ; but at last she formed acquaintances of whom I knew nothing, nor bad I any chance of finding them out, until I found to my bitter experience I had been made a victim to deception and fraud. As to Mr. Pack, I could n find him out until just before the commencement of this case, when I had an opportunity of seeing Dim, neither did I say on any occa sion she was " quite welcome" to the party she married for the second time. The fact of the second marriage was found out almost accidentally.—l am, he. RICH. H. DULEY. 19, St. George's-terrace, New-road, Battersea-park, S., Feb. 21.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.) . The receipts of homegrown wheat fresh up to Mark-leas this morning were very poor, both as regods the number of samplee exhibited, and the quantity of the supply. The attention* of millers was limited. For both red and white potash the demand was inactive, at Monday's quo tations. Full average supplies of foreign wheat were on the stands. Buyers operated cautiously, nod mostly only for immediate consumption, at late rates. Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, at the recent advance. Spring oorn, afloat, was firmly held. The show of barley, although only moderate, was quite equal to the wante of buyers. Prices were supported. There was • seasonably good supply of mithe stands, in which soles progressed slowly, at previous quo tations. The market was scantily supplied with oats. Fine parcels commanded very full prices, and other descriptions were firm in value. Beans moved off slowly, and peas were somewhat negouected. Flour changed hands to a moderato extent, on former terms. Linseed was doll, but rapeseed ruled steady. Clover seed moved off freely, and spring tame were firmly held. Other agricultural seeds were quiet. Cakes moved off slowly. ARRIVALS OF GRAIN, &e.. INTO LONDON BY Wain CARJUAGE THIS WISH.
