This wi a suit to determine the validity of • will which would pass a property estimated at from 400,0001. co 450,005/. The testatrix was Mrs. Ann Thwaites, late of 17, Hyde-perk-garden', and of Charmandean, near Worthing. She was the widow of • tea-merchant, in Fenchurch-street, who died in 1834, leaving • personalty 'deed at 390,0001. with realty to the extent of from 12.1106/. to 20,000/. more, the bulk of which he bequeathed to the uncontrolled possession of his wife. She was a erson of low origin and education, but after her mar riage she made every effort, not without 'access, to fit herself for her position in society to which she bad keen raised. In I&4S she bought • house on ‘l e a r l'ium-°° Mrs. p Tebbitt, 'e went t ho t*lmdlive there ;ormerly b with eet 11 domestic in Mr. Thwaites' employment. She bad iarried a fellow -servant, by whom she had had a darn •ainily. One of her daughters had married an artfA aimed Cooke; another had married • Mr. Parrott; and there were also (our sone, Robert Tebbitt, Walter, Henry, and Alfred. Of thew, two, Cooke and Walter Tebbitt, j oi n with their mother in opposing the will. On the part of the plaintiffs, who were the executors, it was slimed that a niarrel soon took place between the testatrix and her sister. Mrs. Tebbitt was, however, left at Clapham, and Mrs. Thwaites went to live at Herne Bey, which, however, she soon left, and came to reside in Fins bury-circles. Here she settled 30,000/. upon Mrs. Tebbitt and her children. In 1840 she bought her house in Hyde pirk.gardens, which she retained till her death, and she ale purchased her property at Charmandean. One of the plaintiffs, Mr. John Sims Smith, was • medical attendant to whom the testatrix imagined that she was, humanly speaking, indebted f or her recovery from a dan gerous Ri ess. This feeling led to a warm friendship towards him. She invited him to Charmandean ; she also adopted two daughters and his brother • she also in. laced bhp to give up his practice and become her man of Lupines.. He used to accompany her to the Continent, odgenerall) to manage her affairs. By 1840 her estrange rent from her sister became complete, and they never net after that, though she continued to provide liberally 'or her and her children. She 000uionally made presents to Alfred Tebbitt and to Mrs. Parrott, and she gave Mrs. r•roke an an nua l allowance of 4501. She gave 2001. • year if Robert Tebbitt, and afterwards to his wife. She also Illowed Henry Tebbitt 2001., and Walter Tebbitt 150/. a fear. She paid the expenses of Mr. Cooke while pursu n; his studies at Rowe. In 1848, however, he returned !° England in a state of great distress owing to the revo ; and then Mrs. Thwaites made him • prevent of ". She afterwards gave him • house at Broadwater, 'led advanced him 1,0001. to build him a studio. Mr. Cooke, however, spent the money in some other P "v• awl a further demand of 750/. was made upon tin Thwaites. For this she forbade him her house. I •"'uf nine years ago she withdrew the allowance she had Robert Tehbitt, as penalty for deserting his family, ta , e it to his wife. She also cast off Walter Tebbitt if conviction of adultery in a divorce suit. On the 2nd if March, 1866, Mrs. Thwaates (who hail made several pre 'ion, testamentary dispositions) executed the will in dia l."' She pained the two Smiths, with two or three other 1" 'm o. g, as her executors, and she gave them each :. 1 " She gave • like sum to the Rev. Mr. "•er. an inrclid clergyman ; other legacies to 01.

Ricketts, solicitor, defended. William Thorogood, a detective in the employ of the Great Northern Railway Company, said that last night, about half-past 8, he saw the two prisoners and two other men following • van belonging to the Great Western Rail- , way, in the Gray's-inn-road, and when the van got near to Messrs. Cubitt's establishment one prisoner got on the van and sat on the tailboard, and appeared to be doing some thing to a large truss that was on the tail of the van. When the van got towards the lights of the *hope he got down, and all the men followed the van to the Euston-road and then the prisoner Smith got on the tailboard. At the corner of Charlton-street Smith got down, and then be and a man not in custody began tugging away at the truss, and took out a roll of calico. Directly they had pu ll ed it out Smith took it on to the pavement and put it into a bag that the prisoner Bennett was carrying. Smith than went back to the van and pulled out another roll. The van was moving all the time. Bennett received the second roll and put it in his bag. All the men followed the van along the Euston-road, and when near Tottenham-court-road, Bennett took the property into the Orange Tree public-house. The other men followed the van and he remained outside the public-house, when Smith returned, and having procured assistance, he took both prisoners into custody. For some time part he had had the prisoners under observation, knowing them to belong to a gang of determined railway thieves. The manager of the goods department Great Western Railway asked for a remand, as robberies of this deeerip , tion were of frequent occurrence. 1 Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoners for a week, and refused bail.

It appeared that shortly after 5 o'clock last evening the prisoners catered the shop of Mr. Harris, pawnbroker, of Deptford, where Taylor offered the spoons in pledge. The assistant, suspecting something wrong, called in police-min stable Savage, 484 A Division, to wh ns inquiry Taylor !a phid that they had picked the spoons up whilst cross ing Blackheath.

The father of Edmonds attended the court this morning and identified the articles produced. and said that he (Ed monds) absconded from home on Thursday, taking with him a writing-desk containing most of the articles and W. in money, besides some clothes and a watch belonging to another son.

MURDER NEAR BUNCRANA, COUNTY OF DONE GAL.—LONDONDERRY, THURSDAT.—intelligeDee of a very brutal murder has just reached this city. The victim is en old woman named Fanny Lynch, and the person who stands charged with the commis.ion of the crime is her own son, Patrick Lynch. They lived together. along with a daughter of the deceased, at Sallyanan, near Buncrana, county of Donegal, and supported themselves on a small farm there. They had the land stocked with sheep, sad on Saturday these trespassed on a neighbour ing farm, the owner of which drove the animals to the pound. This circumstance appears to have annoyei Patrick Lynch, and when he returned to hie mother's house he was inclined to quarrel with her, as well ss with his sister, as he thought that they should have pre vented the sheep from trespassing. He turned his sister out of the house, and she sought shelter with a neighbour during the night. Next morning she returned home, and asked to see her mother. Patrick Lynch denied that she was in the house ; but his sister entered the room, and found her mother lying on the bed quite dead. Marks of violence were found on her neck, and there could be no doubt that she had been foully murdered. Patrick Lynch, the deceased's son, was at once taken into custody, and at the coroner's inquest yesterday, the jury found the death of the deceased had been caused by violence. They had no evidence before them to show who was the actual per petrator of the murder. They, however, stated that ens. picion rested upon Patrick Lynch, and he was sent for trial at the next arises.— Belfast News-Lettcr. 81 81 12 11 I pal2l ii_ dig', COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Every arrangement hail been made to bring off the fight for the champion ship, and after a special train had started from London bridge, and travelled as far as Reigate, calling at all stations, the Irish Giant (Baldwin) was not present ! Up wards of a hundred gentlemen, who had left their beds at an extraordinarily early hour, were awfully disgusted. Woemald was ready to meet hie antagonist, but the elongated " Fenian giant," as be was styled, did not show. Wormald, who was full of confidence, was eager to meet his man, and after waiting in vain for Baldwin, the belligerent party were compelled to return to town, which was reached at about a quarter•put nine. Just as we are going to press, we learn that Baldwin missed his train at London•bridge, and went to Clapham, whence he booked to Farnborough. The station-muter there has been telegraphed to for further intelligence." A SECOND LONG INCUMBENCY. —The Rev. J. H.
