LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAUCH Z. LONG V. COCHRANE. This case haviu_t been only partially heard os Thin day, th- arguments of C9unsel were further proceeded with. Mr. 13ICKERSTAFF.10 support of the ininnetion , urged that. by the defendant's default, and. that eloae, the contract had not been fulfilled. The plaintiff had made an offer to purchase the ship, with two objects, either to break it up, or fit it up for sea. By the non production of the certificates of build and of tegister.l the plaintiff had been unable to perform the agreement. It was evident that a ship, although a personal chattel, was unlike other personal chattels, inasmuch as it woul.l not pass by simple - delivery. The title should be shown, and this could alone be done by the production of the necessary documents. lie contended, therefore, that the defendant, not having fulfilled his p-irt of the con. tract, the plaintiff could not be compelled to pay the purchase m-irey. t The Loan CHANCELLOR, without calling on Mr. Sogden for a reply, stated his opinion to he, that as the vessel had been sold as a'wreck, the production of the documents was unntcessai y. The certificates of. built and regi.try might be, and unioubtedly were necessary for a ship previously to its sale; b t it %as perfectly absurd to require their production on the sale of a wreck, meant only to be broken up. His Lordship, therefore, dissolved 'the injwctina ; refusing co ts, however, as some part of the purchase money had been paid to the defendant. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Btiown o, ened the pleatiines, and stated, that this was an 'ndictment John Davis, Erhorrd Hall. IV'''. Blansica, Ri:hard Box. and J /roma: 'Ashton, ch aging them with having, at Warrington, unlawfully cour t lend ter ease and pt -cure the d. a.. 1 .boot of Miss Jane Fair dough to be disinterred, for the purpose of dissection. There were nine other. counts, vat riing the offence; aadin four other counts the defendants were merely charged with having the body in their posses sion, knowing it to 'have been unlawfully disinterred. The defendants pleaded ter Not Guilt" Mr. Sergeant JONES stated tl,e case for the prosecu tion. The prosecutor was a respectable farmer, living at Burton Wood, in the neighbourhood of Warrington. Of the defendants, John Davis was an apprentice at the Warrington Dispensary. Mr. E. Hall was a surgeon at Warrington, Wm. Blundell was an apprentice to P. sta. firmer, and a friend of the defendant Davis; Box was a man who wAS formerly a livery stable keeper, and he be lieved now kept a car for tie conveyance of parcels about the town. The other defendant, As hton, was clei k to the attorney who defended the present indittment. The prosecutor, Fairclough, had a daughter who had attained the age of 24 years, of fine personal appear. ance ; she fell sick, and died on the 25th September, and on- the 28th she was buried. Her father was a Baptist, and she was interred in the burial ground of the 'Baptist Chapel, at H It Cliff, in the Eastern part Of Cheshire. The funnel excited general attention in the town, and in its progress roust have passed the resi • deuces of many of the defendants. On the Sunday after the fun: ral, the afili,:ted mother of the deceasid, Miss' F. went to the grave, and remained weeping oir.r it for some time; the grave was t':en safe; next day also (M inday) it was safe, but on Tuesday it was discovered t 4 tat the grave had been violated—the body had been carried au ay, and the grave was left as if the disturbers bad been interrupted in their operations. The body was removed in a cart to a low house in Sankey -street, W..rrington. Au ir cluity inintedietely took place, and it turned out that Davis and Blundell found their way to the house of Dr. Albeit Parry Muss, a physician of eminence, at Warrington. , About twelve o'clock on that night, a neighbour saw three-men with a hamper in their possession; two of them were carrying it, and the oilier appeared to be keeping watch ; the two pro ceeded in the direction of Dr. Moss's back. premises, and introJuced the hamper. Next morning inf rmation was given to the Magistrates, and Mr. Nicholson, their clerk, waited on Dr. Moss, with the brother of the young Lady, and they were conducted by the Doctor into the yard, and there the body was discovered quite naked, and crammed into a large hamper. It was de livered up to Mr. • Fairilough; and recommitted to the. grave from whence it had been exhumed. The Learned Sergeant said lie should prove that the two defendants, Davis and Blundell, were on the premises of Dr. Moss, • cad he should also prove that the defendant Hull had by his own statement beforithi•Magiatrate, made him self a party in she business. 'With regard to the other defendant pAthton), he should show that be was in pos session of the key of the house wh. re the body was first deposited, and probably, in the result, he should not be able to fix him with taking any other part . in the transaction. The disinterment took place io the County ohCherster, but he should . pteve a prior conspiracy in thetecinty of Lancaster. 'He was awry to ray that since:thia transaction had occurred, the feelings of the family; as might be supposed, were considerably in kited the detenclants. instead of condoling with them. had treated the matter with the greatest levity. They . bed been indicted at the Kit Wale Sessions, and they had thought fit to remove it into that Court. With re geed to *the topic that -surgeons, of necessity, were , obliged to procurodead bodies, for the purpose of dis section, in order that they might acquaint themselves with the state of the human frame, the seat of disease, &ea they had idthing•to do. but to decide upon the eel. deuce he should biing.before them. The Learned Ser. • leant tilled un Mr. Eiircicitigh, and several btherg, who f a d e d, however, to prove the fact of any previous corn bination lbetaeen the prisoners.—The case was not brought home to Athton, and he was discharged accordingly. Mr. Baron lIDLLOCK said, that the question fcr the Jury to consider in the.first ten counts of the indictment was. whether the evidence that had baen bropght forward would warrant them in saying that the defend ants or any of them had, previous to the disinterment of the body, agreed jointly to get possession of it, ft r the ptopote of dissection? if they were. thatahe evidence would warrant them in forming that opinion, then that would amount to coaspiraebtand they vuald find npon the first ten counts la the indictment; but if, on'thexontrarg, therconbideted that they merely had • the body in their possession; knowing it wham been , unlawfully disinterred, they would find. upon the four • last counts.

In the course oldie day, Mr. Justice BAYLEY directed Mr. Higgin, the Governor of the Castle, to inquire of the wretched woman whether she would be tried in the morning or some day next week ? Mr. Higgin, in a few minutes returned, and informed his Lordship that she preferred being tried in the ensuing week. No day •has yet been fixed. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD. MARCH 15. CItOWS SUM—Haute 51r. 1111'011 \AVGVAS. Ann Bliley was indicted, on the inquisition of the Coroner, chieged with the murder ref her bastard child. Richard Hardy, a tirgeoi., residing at SI elton, stated that on the sth of November last, he was sent fi.r to attend the prisoner, and subsequen'ly to examine the body of a child that had been found concealed in - a neighbouring cess-pool. The prisoner confessed to him that the child found was hers, and stated that she had no intention to destroy it, but WAS by her sudden illness prevented obtaining any assistance, and the child was still born. The witness then entered into a detail of the different reasons by which, on examination of the body, lie was convinced it had never been born alive. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—Did you express that opinion to the Coronet ? ituess—Yes, most decidedly, m) Lord; and the Jury paid Brea: attention to the lava I described to them.— They were going t“ return a ear Sect of gnilty of c nceal ing the birth, and not of-murder ; and the Coroner their said, th Et would tetthe prisoner at liberty. The Jur y replied that would not suit them, as they wished her to be punished. The ertiroiler then said, you have only to return a verdict of wilful inuldcr, and then he will be committed to gaol, and tiled, and if no one appears against her, acquitted. Mr. Baron VA VOIIA N. in addre sing the Jury, for 11-e purpose of directing an acquittal, observed, that the Inquest, with such evidence before them; should n ewer hare returned such a verdict. Three was, besides, another ground for acquitting the prisoner —the inqui sition of the Coroner was incorrect. The names tif the Jurors containe.l in the body of the inqui.ition did not correspond with the signatures; and the prisoner as therefore enti'led to a verdict of acquittal ; for as the law at pest nt stood, there was no chrogeagainq It was, his Lordship be:ieved, in cootempi ttimi tor ffcce an alteration in the law in that respect, to make conceal ment-of the bir h'a subitaistive offence.

MARCH. FROM TUE COMPANION TO THE BRITISH ALMANACK. BALDWIN AND CRADOCK. There is an old proverb, "a bushel of March dust is worth a Monarch's ransom." Our ancestors were care ful observers of the inflUence of the weather upon the ait;erations of husbandry; and in this short sentence they fully expressed the value of a dry. March. A month of such weather removes the too great moisture which the rain, of February have left us, whilst it mellows the arth for the reception of seed, and enables the farmer :0 get it in early. A late spring is generally a great blessing. fur the succeeding harvest is in most cases 41,unclairt. There is little to be apprehended in such cases from bl;ghts and insects, and the swelling buds Ale trot too prematurely brought forward to be exposed ta the severity of those frosts which so commonly ren der faithless the early promise of the year. The activity which the farmer must exercise In this month, to sow his barley and oats, has an example in the motions of all the animal creation. The rooks are noisil employed in the building and repair of their neas ; the fieldfares and woodcocks, whose movemeta., however regular, are yet mysterious, return to the canaries from whi.:ll they arrived at the commence. meut of winter; the willow-wren and the stooc-:urlew come to us, and the shrill cry of the latter may ofteir be heard, mingling with the owl's hoot, by the nightly traveller ; domestic poultry lay eggs and sit ; the wild pigeon coves in the woods. One of the most delightful appearances of the season is the sportiveness of the lambs, in the sunshinny days; and a no less uleasing indication if returning warmth is, the coming forth of be s from their wintry hives, to remind us that the ho;iied Mowers are beginning to show their heads again: In our gardens the wall-flower cautiously puts on its rich livery; the heart's-ease, celebrated All over Europe by six or severs endearing names, shows its beautiful vslvet spots ; and the great scented jonquil, the crown imperial, and the narcissus, are in full splendour. The mezereon, with its .pink flowers and leafless bushes, is now.highly ornamental. In the hedges; towards the end - of the month, two bf the'Most lovely and fragrant of flowers offer them 'wive.; to oar admiration. The early violet, commonly called the . Mateh violet, gives the most delightful of 311 scents';' and from its humble and obscure retreat iii some weedy bank, &aids a perfume to the air which paises over it ; while the primroses are seen sprinkled over the grassy slopes, peeping forth with a delicate fustve from their green leaves. The daffodil, Shakspeare as a charming descriptirin of flowers, enumerates-- dam:fits That come before the swallow dares, and take Tie wands of Alarch with beauty. The pilew•ort and the red dead nettle become also abundant in the fields. The apricots and peach bl, soma exhibit their delicate coloins on the garden walls; .ind.the edtly sulphur butterfly, and the red butterfly, 4)10 their wings in the still precati•;us sunshine. 1 • . .5....b.,1N11,.- -ROYAL A S/ATIC• SOCIETY. ttaiday the.Annivertary t f -this 'Society wa s •bratedlit :rtbd 'Thatched Hawse :'Tavern, St. .1; street.
