LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice• Chancellor Wood.) DREW O. MARTLY• lc this case a question arose whether certain property tea to be purchased by a deoes.ed person in the name • and his wife formed portion of his estate, he died, leaving his wife surviving him. W. 1). Griffiths and Mr. Tripp were in the can, vice-Chancellor said that the authorities in this •t •••n were mostly old, but it appeared upon them, and upon the case determined by Lord Clare, that •1:,:01lbt could exist but that this property was not the . •v of the testator, but would pass to his wife ant , .•u,: :Arc. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Term sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall.--(Befort Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) ~t ...ELL AND ANOTHER I% JACKSON AND ANOTHER. was the eighth and last day of this remarkable and '.t protracted trial. Ibe same learned counsel appeared as on the previous day. Lod Chief Justice summe d up. He mid km tiff' concurred in the remarks which had from the learned counsel on both aides ; this was • case of vast importance, not vt respect to the amount of property involved, coed• the position of both parties, but to the grave question , h..r.,cter and conduct which it involved. And be also v greed with the learned counsel for the plaintiff ; I: was impossible to shrink from looking at this matter treating it as one involving c of conspiracy, :or., and fraud—offences of &deep and heinous character. 11.iintiffs undertook to satisfy him, as they „„ re bound to do, that the three codicils were Le,iustruments, and it had been suggested that if they ..cg doubt abont it they were bound to give the benefit . ,t to the defendants. It was certainly for the party who t.t • e,tabliah the af fi rmation of th e i ssue to make out t.) their tatisfection ' but on the other hand he t • ,te ed that having the materials before them for arriving at .:ht conclusion they would not take refuge in doubt and ;.1, sac that the plaintiff! bad not made their case, but n..t I Lev would honestly and resolutely address themselves t the ieue in the case whether the codicils were genuine I :,trun,eote or spurious documents. The three codicil .:.•!ered in one remarkable particular. With regard to the -•a c. , .1;cil they had the attesting witnesses if Dot denying events questioning the fact whether they sae the testator sign it. and inasmuch IS L., ~4n.,ture in their presence was aecesasry to it. validity, ,I,, , ..ument was not signed in their presence it was a .11 Lt‘. It must not, however, be lost sight of that the to witnesses, Buxton and Gregory, had, upon more than t,...t510n before, deliberately sworn that ca tte d r did the testator sign it. When first on unhesitatingly "armed the attestation;and so again when their aftidavita were re. . • :lied. They said the same in their examination in chief re the Court of Chancery, but they afterwards, and ter , had repeated it on trial, uttered their doubt and denial f t.eir having seen the testator sigo the document. Paw thot and coming to the main question, the go na,:eness of the document+, he found a marked distinction betseea the first and the second end third co. ,!,. They had now one of the witnesses to the first codicil —l.•-nooing the genuinenesa of his signature, and the 4;regory, seeking to void the Matra t.tr.r by saying be did not see the testator sign TLev would, no doubt, regard the testimony of such r. ..; ii deserved, for there could be no doubt they were L . .L.Lf:s",:td by sinist er mo ti ves , an d bad placed them h oat discreditable and disgraceful position. With tr: .rd to Gregory be was • nun on whose testimony no re;:sve c.aild be placed, and it would be necessary for the •.tee whether they were corroborated by other facts • i•+:d- ace in the case. If the first codicil was a forgery, .red second codicils tnust fall with it; but should t:. y re of opinion that the second and third codicils were ..wine. that would reflect back on the tirst, and • d, ',L. its genuineness. A cloud of suspicion 7,t on the case, but he hoped in the end I:_ry would be able to dispel it ; but the circumstances ~..rtorroding the case required their most anxious and at t. ative consideration. The codicils WWI made in rapid sue. reeler. ..rod from their dates within three months of e testator's death ; and they transferred the bulk of property, which two years before had been given t • otter persons, to John Else. The codicil, were in chronological order, and one was found rtataly what was said to be the strangest depository for i2.lliLli, that in the history of these cases was ever heard of, v.-- a hole in the wall. The presumption at starting in h a case u this was sad must be in favour of the plaratufs. but it was for them to nay whether the surrounding this case had been so die posed of that they could Cone, to the conclusion thd these were genuine documents, and be reminded them tl.ey must not shrink from convicting the plaintiffs of the Cyrus charges that had been made against them in this • case any more than they would if they had to decide oc the criminal charge, should they be of opinion that the ev:leoce warranted them in doing so. The strength and we.kicese of the respective cues rested on the document. His lordship then at considerable length and with great minuteness and considerable clearness adverted to the facts and incidents bearing on the genuineness of the documents, as well as those relied on to prove they were spurious, and his lordship further called attention to the finding of the documents, and contrasted the disposition of the property in the will with that in the codicils, whereby the bulk of the testator's property, which amounted to about 2.000 f. • year from land and personal property to the amount of 8,000 f., would by the codicils ultimately revert to John Else. I The ;ury had not returned a verdict when our report left.] COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) COOPER r. COOPER. In this ease a wife had instituted a suit against her has baud, bat had since returned to cohabitation with him. He thereupon moved that her petition be dismissed—an applicatioo which the wife did not oppose. Her attorney bad. however, resisted the motion until his costs had been pelf. Sir . 1 . Wilde thought it would be unreasonable to com pel attorneys to have their costa taxed de die in diem—a comae which was always deprecatodoo the ground tbat it caused unnecessary expense. He felt bound, therefore. to put the Iv ife'a legal adviser in this use in the same posi tion ex if that step had been taken, and he would only dia. mos the petitioner on payment of her costs.

Jana Edward Wellborn, who said he was between 17 and 18 years of age, but who did no t a pp ear a b ove 15 or 16, Wing so vary small and his countenamm so boyish, a porter, residing at 16, New North -street, Red Lionequare, was ced before Mr. Barker with attemptin g t o destroy his eary taking a quantity of white precipitate powder. The frets are simply these :—The prisoner, who appeared very low spirited, on Sunday was seas to put something into a cup and drink it. He immediately became bad and it was ascertained that he had taken poison. He was asked by his parents to take an emetic bat he would not, and thee the police was sent for, who obtained medical assistance, and the necessary remedies having been applied, the pri soner recovered, and was then given into custody. The prisoner, who seemed to have suffered a great deal from the effect, of the poise°, said it was all through his mother that he did it, and she had been the cause of all his unhappiness. He had worked at a milliner's at theW= and had there fallen in love with and become fir m ly to Elizabeth, the housemaid, who was engaged at the same establishment. All hs4 ,.. gone on as merrily as the village bells until • both last week saw his mother. They had had some conversation toge ther, and since then his dear Elizabeth had treated him sadly, and had written him a letter declining to con tinue the engagement with him. That bad preyed on his mind, and had caused him to be guilty of the rash set be had committed, but he now deeply regretted the course be bad taken, admitted that it was very wicked of him to do such a thing, and aimed the magistrate, if he looked over the offence this time, he would never attempt anything so foolish again. The mother of the prisoner said she certainly had spoken to the young woman in question last Thursday, and regretted doing so, as she bad tamed her son to act in the manner be had. She did not wish him to marry, and she wanted him to break off the engagement at present, as he was so short—(a laugh)—and might be scoffed at by his companions Besides, his wages were not at present suffi cient for him to keep a wife. The prisoner -1 did not intend to get married yet. The mother said she would take him home if he was dis charged, and added that she would keep him out of tempta tion, by not allowing him to go beck to his work. Mr. Barker feelingly addressed the prisoner en the fool ishness of his act, and advised him not to think too deeply of the affair and he would the sooner get over it. He then allowed him to go home with his parents. WORSHIP-STREET. CRUEL ROBBERY. Dogma Donohan, a thickset young fellow, was charted before Mr. Cooke with the following robbery. Mary Ann Jones, 12 years of age, said that on the 11th instant she and a younger sister got into a swing placed near the wild beast vans in the Mile-end•road, and that prisoner, who was pulling the ropes, snatched from Ler apron a packet of money just as he started the swing. He ran off, and when she could get out she told a police-constable. She was certain that prisoner was the man who robbed her. Fervent, 192 K, said the girl gave him so accurate a description of the thief that he recognised him by it when he apprehended him near the sp o t w h ere th e robbery had been committed more than a week after wards. The mother mother of the complainant stated that the money in question amounted to lls. 7d., she having given it to her to take to a baker who had not only allowed her to run treat daring the past hard weather, but had also kindly lent her ss. The loss had nearly rained hey, she having with the greatest difficulty saved it up for repayment. She lived in Devonshire.street, Mile-end. Mr. Cooke remarked that this was a most heartless and cruel robbery from the child of persons in a humble sphere of life and asked prisoner whether he would plead guilty or go for trial ; daring the remand not anything bad been as certained tending to show he bad been preciously charged. Prisoner replied—No, I never did a robbery this kind afore and never will again —indeed I'm very sorry for what's happened ; but the fact is we were doing bad at the swing and the other chaps said as how if they caught hold of any one with mosey they'd have it and so, you see, I took this from the girl. Sentence—Three months' hard labour at the House of Correction.
