SATURDAY, yaiu nub Voila. AT THE INVESTIOATION OF AN INsoLVENT's %Ili-. at tit, Insolvent Debtors' Court some particulate came out respecting a chancery suit which elicited the unanimous admiration of all present, as exhibit ing the wonderful rapidity which recent ref o r m , have infused into the proceedings in equity, hereto. fore so notorious for their delays. The insolvent, a beerseller, named Cooper, had received notice to quit from his landlord, and, not complying, was served with an action of ejectment. Ile pleaded to the action, and, just before going to trial, tiled a bill i n ch ancer y, supported by affidavits setting forth certain alleged specific agreements which the land. lord had entered into to continue the tenancy. Thi s 1411 came before %ice-Chancellor 11'ood, and the con sequent proceedings were so promptly completed that, in the course of one week, the cause was ended and the bill dismissed. The costs in the action for eject melt were Ist., those in Chancery only 18/. liamages were given against Cooper for 751„, and he now ap peared in Portugal street, with his landlord as a creditor for this amount. After duly remarking upon the newly developed celerity and economy of the Chancery Court, Mr. Commissioner Murphy adjudged the insolvent to a remand for six months, 4 , as a warning to other tenants not to hold over and resist the law." AN Arno,: was brought by one Warrington On a promissory note for I,Na V. Originally the document was thus worded :—" Six mouths after date I promise to pay 1,00/., with lawful interest thereon from this date." Subsequently there was added in a corner of the note, but by whom did not appear, a memoran dum to the effect that the interest should be charged at six per cent. This rate was beyond the " lawful interest " recognised in the cowis, and the addition was pleaded to the action by the drawer of the bill. On trial a verdict was given in his favour, and the case was then brought before the judges in bane, on the plea that the supplemental memorandum, written in au off corner, should not invalidate the document as to its principal effect. Judgment was given on this plea in the Queen's Bench on Wednesday, when Lord Campbell declared the opinion of the court to be in favour of the defendant. The added words were considered clearly to invalidate the promissory note, their effect being altogether inconsistent with the contract expressed in the body of the document. AN INFORMATION was laid against the well•known . supper and singing rooms bearing the title of " Evans's," in Covent-garden. One Hall, a common informer, was the prosecutor, and the charge was laid under an act passed more than a hundred years ago, in the reign of George 11. This act forbids taverns from Lein! kept "for purposes of music and singing." The witnesses clearly proved that both music and singing were kept up, with little intermis sion, during the whole evening in the defendant's establishment. As it was shown, however, that no charge was made on that account, and that the cus tomers object was quite as much the suppers as the , ongs, the jury found that the room was used merely for the common purposes of a hotel or tavern, and refused to enable Mr. Hall to recover his share of the penalty. A FEMALE THIEr-TRAINER, named Ann Burrows, was tried at the Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday for picking pockets. In the course of the proceedings evidence was given by the police to show that, in spite of her youth, the prisoner had become an adept. in the art of educating youth to clime . _ William Coombe++, known among thieves under the sobriquet of " the Surrey Wolf," stated that lie knew the prisoner well. She Was sentenced to twehe mouths' Wiwi • mt for picking pockets at the execution of the Miumingii, and subsequently to two mouths' for picking the poeket of a policeman at the Victoria Theatre. She was a regular trainer for young thieves, and had always a gang of boys about eight years of age w ith her, wlaaa she sheltered and taught to steal. There were u n 1111 l ber of young thieves outside the court, who were her romplutions,ime of than railed " Alligo," and another "Shougo," and he could produce twenty or tiny constables from his nide of the water, if it was tweessary, What could prove that she w as what be had stated. The AstiIKTANT4 mit: said this Wag the 5111111 aeeolllll of her, and he should now like to Hear her Middlesex 11.1 . 01111, 1 . 1 , 1* She was as well known ilt the pliStala of that county as tit those on the other side of the Thames. The prisoner declared she had not lawn convicted before , There was Ittl proof of it at all. Comultem+ reiterated his statement, and said she was a retmlar hanger-on at the theatres, with her youie, thieves. ready to pu.li into any crowd and rob any mw they could. Being found guilty, the prisoner was sentenced to six years of penal servitude. _ . GRINNEY, the wheelwright who Ii 3s _oi nearly a month in custody on a charge of cutting bis wife's throat, was brought up at Lambeth Court for examination on Tuesday. The poor woman, whose life was at first despaired of, and who had ever since remained in Guy's Hospital, was sufficiently recovered to attend and give evidence. Her testimony proved that her husband's act was committed with cool &- liberation, and in a manner almost incredibly brutal. He was committed for trial.
