COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FassoAsy 17. - • FURLONG V DAVIU AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover floors the defendants. as *stignees of a bankrupt named John Leigh, a chest of plate, value about 2204 It appeared that the bankrupt was at one. period in affluent circumstances, and on the occasion of his daughter being about to marry the plaintiff; a quantity of plate, ennsi,ting of waiters, tea equipage..kc. was ordered by Mrs. Leigh and her daughter, but settled for b) the husband. Some of the various articles vete intended for Miss Leigh as a marriage present, ana the remainder, according to an arrangement entered into bettrein the parties, was to be purchased from her fa., ther e and paid for by Furlong at such times and seasons as asjiht prove convenient. It appeared that the plain . tiff wfs at the C , pe of Good Hope when a commission of bankruptcy was issued against his father in law, w hich was stated as the reason is by the property in question did net pass info his possession. Mr. John Leigh. the bankrupt, upon two commis. sions beirg produced, stated that the chest cf plate was certainly therein described by him as a part of his own property. • `The LORD CUII Justus wished to know if the case should proceed, and said, th 4 if the Jury had any oh s he would read over the evidence. 0 .e of the Jury observed, that there did not seem to be any evidence proving that the plate was eve: actuaily in the possession of Furlong. The plaintiff was therefore nonsuited. MILS*II V. DEVICY. This action was brought for the purpose of recover- ing 201. the amount of 11 bill of exchange, and to com pel the defendant to give remuneration for certain work and labour done by the plaintiff. A persnn named Burge had taken from the St. Katharine Dock Corn pony a certain pot t inn . of work, past of which had by bim been underlet to Devey, who thereby became responsi ble for unloading the barges and carting away the rub bish. A spot near Vauxhall-bridge had been selected for depositing this ; and the casts employed at this place needing sepsis, t' e plaintiff was applied to, and in consequence proceeded to rectify the damages sus tained. Difficulties having ashen respecting the pay ment of Milsom's demands, an action isas brought. Mi. Fe, gent TADDY. for Dewey, contended that he was by no means the responsible person ; that the ori. ginal contractor, Barge, was alone liable for any ex penses which might be incurred during the execution of the work contracted for. S-venal witnesses were examined, and among them defendant's foreman, who stated that the w argon: were the property of Burge; but admitted that, on his (wit 'nests) application to Mihom, he assured him that his master would be answerable for the payment. In addi tion, the circumstance of defendant's having accepted the lull tended to throw some light on the case. The Curie Juaracs, in summing up said that the verdict must be in fav ,ur of the plaintiff for at least 20/. and, if the Jos, believed the whole of the wink to have been done on the credit of the defendant, be be came liable for the whole amount, The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff to the whole amount, including the Bill of Exchange.— Damages, 461. 19..7d.

This was a question as to Vie testiorentar y iu entions if Thomas Ravenscroft, ssho .died on the 19th ol August, 1828. leaving pet sonal phoperty to the value of about 60,0001. a considerable pair of which was in. vested in shares in the Devonport Waite Works Com pany, of which the deceased was the . Chairman. The deceased executed a will in duplicate, bearing date in August, 1825 ; and after providing for his wife, daughters, and other persons, who had claims on his testamentary bounty, he left the residue of his property. amounting to 36 5001. ,to his grandchildren. The de ceased's son, Mr. John Bovenscrott, died before the exTcution of the will, and left six children, four of whom were boos and two daughters. To those children the deceased, by the. will of August, 1825, left the entire residue ref his propel;; in the proportion of two six. teenths to each of the sons and foot-sixteenths to each of Os daughters. Shortly before the execution of the 'will the eldest of the testator's grandsons w. at to ladia ; another grandson died; and, in 1826, the tworemaining Malso went to India. In Jai tray. 1828. Mr. Moore, who bad been the partner nf the deceased, and was one of the executors panted in the wi;l, died; And shottly after the testator expiesed his intenti'ir making some alteration* in his will. In J toe, 1828, he ipformed his solicitor that he would shindy be under the eecessity of troubling him to draw up a codicil, andl ip conversation with Mrs. M .cartney. his sister, the tes. l ..I ,kawr ioforthed her that he meant to make an ilcremed provision for his gr anddaughtet as the grandsons were already provided for. This communicaiii n, h owever , was made to Mrs. M. in reply to some observations made by bet ntg . in g the testator to provide . fur his grand-, datrghtets in preference to his grandsons. After the. .kath,p( the testate the will of 1825 was nod in a petite' state in the orig inal envelope, and a draft of that will was also foun d, containing certain alterations in the handwriting of the.deceased, and,:as it was con tended.. declaratory of his ullinutp Intentions. The suatetial alteration was as to t e disposition of the re sedge, the three grandsons bating been lift only one thOusind pounds .eacb .instrad ,of two sixtectiths. and, the srand daughtess taking the iensaiader of the re-1 sidue.

The question was. whether- the Ccusx shi old giant probate v., tl.e exccuted tl e deceased alone, or un.the alteresidraftili Dr. Dooms* contended that the altered draft con tained the c&iberate intentions, of the .deceased, and thatlbedeeemeil . was only prey/sated kom• executing a will, in,confossnity .vrith those introstioas by sudden illness.

Dr. LUblIlllO7Oll and Dr. ADDAIIii i on the other side, conteuded that, the alseratiook wimp merely dthbetative, as appeared on thi fats of them, and that the Irritator did not intend that those alterations should have taken effect after his death: They, Oudot., submitted that the Court could only pronounce for the will as origi ginally executed.

Me NMWY ROADS. - A numerous Meeting offilhr principal Inhabitants of Lambeth wail held yesterday. at the Boys' Seim- 1 House. Lambeth, pursuant to a printed ioviuttinn, in conse quence of a notice received by the patochial as chortles from the trustees ill the roads in that and the adj-ining -parishes, that the powers of the Act under which they were empowered tatinihated partly in July nett. and. partly in 18.99. The inhabit anti only in the line of road: •ere invited. After the printed circular and notice hom the trus.. tee:. which had been passed at a Meeting if that body •o late at August last, had been read, Mr. Levi, • who presided , as Chairman. said the Meeting. sem called for the purpose of coming to wine speedy conclusion as to what was best to be done to uphold the necessary lighting and watching of the parish. The Chairman, in answer to various questions, said it was intended to carry a Bill in Parliament. autho rising a rate on the inhabitants of the principal line of roads and the streets in shrectcuanecti-n with them ;Lid that the expense of the Bill would of course fallen such inhabitants. Tl:e present trustees had obtained their pug for seven years, although their application wax for '2l years. The trust had been continued since the 9th o George U. and the first lighting and watching arose from al' er being rubbed on his nay to the House of Lords, the horses having been even taken from his car riage. It was necessary the parish should cone to an immediate resolution, 24, if notice of the Bill was not given by Friday next, the last day of receiving Private Bills by the Legislature, they would be too late with their Petition. He (the Chairman) had, with their Rector (D . D'Oyley) waited upon the Uncle, Secretary of State, but was intormed his intended p dice regula tions did not embrace the lighting and watching. Mr. Col.l.lwas, Mr. Hilreali, and the CnAinuAw, spoke of the present dreadful state of crime in Lam beth. and said it would be better to light and watch the parish generally. instead of the masa toads only, as that would greatly prevent the daring daily and nightly robberies. This proposition appeared to meet with the general approbation of the Meeting. Mr. HA RWOOD, in an able speech. spoke of the great expense attending a Bill in Parliament, and thought that an arrangement might be made with the adjoining, parishes. so as to free Lambeth from the heavy burden which would fall upon it. Mr. Harwood read several, clauses of the Trust Acts, and complained of the Meet ing being called so late. Several parishioners sreke of the great insecurity of property and p torts in Lambeth from the present inefficient system. _ A quer ion of amendment was.about to be tarried., for the purpose of a general meeting being called; but it being discovered that if the Petition for a Bill in Par liament was not taken op by Friday nest, the parish would be too late, and consequently without any power tor lighting and watching, it was abandoned. It was then mowed, seconded. and agreed to, tbat a Petition to the House if Commons be upon the instant drawn up and presented. After considerable discussion, it was also carried that requisition be presented to the Churchwardens, to call a general mee ting of the paiisbioners at large, to con sider the propriety of lighting and watching the parish more generally, and of the best means of carrying the measure into effect. Thank. being voted to the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned. Friday morning, the house of the Rev. Dr. BCPCIIA• NAN, of Woodmanstone. near Banstead. Surrey, was broken into by a gang consisting of six men. The thieves gained an entrance into the female servants' bed room by means of a ladder. One of them had a lantern in one hand and a dagger in the other, and threatened the servants, if they made' any alarm, he would blow their brains out. From the servants'room the thieves proceeded onward through the passage, but were overheard by the man servant, when they imme -8 -tely made their escape. A dreadful accident, which occurred on Saturday afternoon last, at Blackwater, has thrown the family and friends of M . Moartmaa, surgeon, of that place, into a state of great affliction and distress. Mr. M. had just returned from visiting his patiei is in his phaetno, and was about to descend at hii Own door, when his hor►e suJdenly backed at the 'wise of an approaching stage-coach, and the cattle of luith vehicles becoming entangled, the a hole f , ur stage horses fell on that of Mr. Morriman, and thus ()miscuing the phaeton, the unfortunate Gentlem..n was thrown out with great vio• lence on his head, and he died almost instantly, from an injury of ,the I rain. About ten o'clock on Monday night. a man and wo. Tan eaten d the house of Mr. James, of Pilgrim -street, Kennington-lane. The master and mistress were out, having left charge of the house to the servant girl. Mr. James went from home about seven o'clock, and //inflict at half-past ten, but could not obtain admit tance, notwithstanding his having repeatedly knocked at the door. Surprised at the circumstance, he at length obtained an entrance ino ti e house, and on proceeding into the kitchen found the servant girl bound with a rope to the dresser. with her apron tied aver her month, her hands fastened behind her back, and her legs also • firmly tied. The account given by the girl of the situation in which she was found is as, follows—She was sitting, in the parlour, when hearing the street door open she went into the passage, and saw a man mud woman. The man seized ber, and tweed her into the.positi n above described. Having bound her to the dresser, he exclaimed." Curse you, if you speak Ell put the knife into you." The woman said, " 110 p u confine her—and nt do it." They then went up stairs into the bedroom, and forced the lock of a drawer, and took Out a Lady's watch and a curse containing fimeteen vov el eigns, leavi ng severa l lade articles of value in the same drawer.
