LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JOLT 27. FRY V. WATSON. The Lord Chancellor had made inquiry respecting the point of practice that had been submitted to him in this case, and found that an extreme diversity of opinion ex isted upon it ; the prevailing opinion was against the de cision of Sir Anthony Hart. It was, however, of so much importance, that the Court would still make further in quiry before it proceeded to upset that old practitioner's judgriient. It will be recollected that the question here is, whether it was necessary, upon an interpleading bill, where there was both a suit and an action commenced by different parties, claiming a sum of money from a third person, to have an affidavit filed, stating that a counter claim had been made upon the debtor prior to the filing of the bill, before an injunction could be granted ? Sir Anthony Hart thought it was not. Sir Lancelot Shad well decided that it was. , SMART V. WILCOX. This was a motion to dissolve an injunction. The notice was dismissed, and it stood over that the Court might look into the affidavits, to ascertain whether or not they dis closed facts that ought to prevent the costs following the fate of the application. His Lordship had carefully read the affidavits, and as nothing appeared in them to prevent his thinking the costs ought to be given, he had now to declare that the motion stood dismissed with costs. ADAMS V. SMITH. The parties were to present affidavits of explanation this morning in this case, that was discussed last week, but in consequence of the interminable length to which this course was likely to proceed, the Counsel agreed to leave the case in the hands of the Court, his Lordship being to call for further information, should he find him self in a situation to require it. The Court proceeded to hear bankrupt petitions. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 27. NEWTON V. REID. This case came before the Court for further directions ; after Mr. Home had concluded his argument on behalf of the- plaintiff, Mr. Parker addressed the Court for the defendant, during which Mr. Horne made several observations. Mr. Parker (with much warmth) said, " You are in the constant habit, Mr. Home, of interrupting every one opposed to you. I, for one, will not put up with it. It is not your province to decide the question at issue, but for the Court."—Mr. Home smiled. Mr. Parker then went into the -merits of the case, which are not of public interest, when he was again in terrupted by some observations from Mr. Horne, respect ing a matter of account. Mr. Parker -That is your arithmetic, Sir, or your client's : but I shall be governed in my observations by common sense. The Vice-Chancellor ultimately decided in favour of Mr. Home's client. Mr. Home—l have now to ask your Honour for costs. The Vice-Chancellor, addressing Mr. Bickersteth, who was engaged on the same side with Mr. Parker, and who had just entered the Court, said, have you any thing to say about costs, Mr. Bickersteth ? Mr. Bickersteth—lt is useless for me to say any thing, with the view your Honour takes of his case. The prin ciple on which it is decided is nothing more nor less than ' , making the only innocent party suffer for the misconduct of others. I shall say nothing about costs. After rather a noisy conversation between Counsel en gaged for different parties interested, the Court ordered the costs to be paid by the defendant. BREEDS V. BREEAS. Mr. Home said that this was one of those overgrown and monstrous suits that he really had not been able to wade through his brief. He hoped therefore, the Court would allow it to stand over till to-morrow. Several other Counsel said they had no objection. Solicitor-General—l have a very great objection, and shall insist upon its going on ; my time is as much en gaged as any one's, yet I am prepared. Vice-Chancellor—l cannot put it off unless all the Counsel consent. Mr. Hinde—lt would save a great deal of the time of the Court if we could have a consultation before the cause is argued. It was not expected it would have been called on to-day. Vice-Chancellor—l cannot put it off. Mr. Horne -Never mind, we can very easily occupy • tile Court until it rises, and have a consultation afterwa rds . The Solicitor-General thought such observations not very respectful.—The case was then proceeded with. COURT OF KING'S BENCH—Joce 27. (Sittings at Guildhall—Special Juries). OLD HOUSES.-WALTERS V. PFF.IL. This action was brought by the plaintiff, who is pro prietor of several houses in Green Arbour-square, Fleet- Market, to recover damages for an injury sustained by the negligence of persons employed by the defendant to pull down a decayed building. 'lt appeared that a sugar-house belonging to the de fendant, which stood upon the ancient wall in Sea Coal hine, was condemned by the Ward, and ordered to be pulled down. Mr. Montagu, the City Suiveyor, em ployed Mr. Creighton, the auctioneer, to sell the ma terials, and thereby defray the expense of removing the Warehouse. The defendant was a party to that order, and the building was taken away. Against the party wall stood the plaintiff's houses, looking into Green Arboiir-square, and when the sugar-house was removed, bath houses fell down. The plaintiff estimated the re building of the houses at six or .seven hundred pounds, and complained that the injury had been occasioned by the want o care and caution in pulling down the sugar house. Several witnesses proved that the girders and beams of the building had not been cut off in the party walls, but forcibly dragged out, leaving the plaintiff's premises without proper support. ' Other witnesses said the beams Were cut off, but the wood was so old that it fell from the w2ll. There was a further complaint of the improper use of skates or support to the wall ; bat the houses fell in con-' sequence of the -bad state of the foundation. The Attorney-General, who was Counsel for the de- fendant, contended tiat his client was not answerable, as 'lice warehouse had been pulled down by the City Surveyor. Lord Tenteiden was of opinion that the defendant being one : of the persons who 'gave an order to sell the materials, 1r.% liable to the action.... The. Attorney-Generak then applied himself to the m e- Fits of the case, and observed that there was no law to compel a man to keep up his house as a prop to his neigh bour's house. The plaintiff's premise.. ware in danger, aad it was the duty of the plaintiff to take cambia houses did not fall. Lord Tenterden—lt is the duty of every man who takes ' down his house, to see does no damage ; be mart use Crahoroiu and if Ne goes on in a careless improvi manner, .so as to expose his neighbour io trnecte sawisk, I think the party injured has un action. His lordship left the jury to say whether the defendant did conduct the pulling down in a negligent manner ? If they were satisfied the plaintiff sustained an injury by want of reasonable caution, they ought to give such a sum as would compensate for the injury. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. ABELL V. DANIELL. This was an action brought by the assignees of the de fendant's father, to recover 2001. which it was alleged had been paid to him under a fraudulent preference by his father previous to his bankruptcy. Mr. F. POLLOCK stated that this action was brought against the son of Mr. Daniell, who was formerly one of the East India Ditectors, but had unfortunately become a bankrupt, by the assignees, to recover the sum of 2001. upon the ground that the bankrupt had shown a fraudu lent preference in paying this sum to his son, he having previously sold out some East India Stock, with the pro duce of whioh he paid this sum to his eon, and two thou sand pounds more he forwarded, to his family, who were at that time residing in Italy. The bankrupt having a few days before dishonoured one bill, and being well aware that he was not in a situation to meet some others which would be due in a short time, he stopped payment on the day on which he paid the 2001. to his son. Several witnesses were called to prove thacase. The Attorney-General, for the defendant, said that this was one of the hardest cases he had ever known, or that he had ever held a brief in. The defendant was entirely dependent on his father, residing at his house, and sup plied with clothing by him, and this money was paid to him in the regular course for the payment of his debts. It was preposterous to say that a father was not to sup port his son, or give him money to pay his tailor for clothes, because he anticipated an act of bankruptcy. It had been held that it was not a fraudulent preference to pay debts contracted for household expenses, and he contended that this case was the same ; as the father had only given his eon this money to pay ,for his support and clothing, which was the same as if it had been for his own, as the son had not any means to provide for himself. Lord Tenterden summed up, and the jury returned a , verdict for the defendant. 1.. FLINN V. TOBIN. This was an action brought on a policy of insurance, against the underwriters to recover for a loss. It appeared that the policy of insurance was on a ship called the An dromache, which took in a cargo of rock salt at Liver pool, to carry to a port in Norway ; that it was necessary for the ship to make her voyage round Scotland ; that during that time she experienced very stormy weather, which caused her to spring a leak ; that the mariners re mained in the ship until they found it dangerous, when they ran her aground and escaped from the poop, and that, a few minutes after they had quitted her, she went down. Witnesses were called, who deposed to the vessel being seaworthy at the time it left Liverpool. Mr. Brougham, for the defendant, contended that the policy was void, as the insurers had made a misrepresen tation as to the cargo, which, he was of opinion, invali dated the contract. The fact was, the defendant refused to insure her with a full cargo of rock salt, • when the owner observed she was not to take a cargo, but only suf ficient for ballast to keep her steady in the water ; this was s a misrepresentation, and, under the circumstances, , . he thought that his client was entitled to a verdict. Several witnesses were called, who proved the.csse us stated by Mr. Brougham. ,-- Lord Tenterden summed up ; and the jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—damages, 1001. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 27. Henry Quinton James Pinhorn, who described him self as a clerk in the Cheque-office, Woolwich Dock yard, was opposed by Mr. Adolphus, on behalf of Mr. William Ashton, for damages and costs in an action fur the seduction of his daughter. The insolvent stated that his salary in the Cheque-office WAR 801. per annum, out of which he allowed his mother 101. a year towards her support, and his four brothers contributed the same, which supported her and his two sisters. He borrowed from one , of his brothers 201. to move for a new trial, which sum was deducted out of his salary, which was due in June last. In May he was taken in execution for the costs and damages in the action brought by Mr. Ashton. Wm. Lacey, clerk to the opposing creditor's attorney, said the damages.were laid at 2001. 'We cause was tiled at Westminster ; was undefended, and damages given for the plaintiff for 1001. A letter written by the insolvent to Mr. Ashton was read. It stated that Mr. Pinhorn would pay the costs then incurred, and pay ss. a week towards supporting his child by Miss Ashton, and gave a bond for the pay ment, if the execution was stayed. The offer, however, was refused. The insolvent stated that he had no means of paying the costs or the damages. He was just 22 years of age. —He had obtained leave of absence from his situation, which expired that day. Mr. Ashton was a measurer of the work in Woolwich dock-yard, and he had known him about three years. Mr. Adolphus, in addressing the Court in aggravation, observed, that after the insolvent had ruined the daughter of the plaintiff, he wits asked to marry her, but he refused, on the plea that he was too poor to support a wife. Mr. Commissioner Bowen, to delivering the judgment of the Court, observed, that the Court had some time ago decided that the imprisonment in such a case should be directed according to the amount of damages, and considering the situation of the insolvent, the damages were moderate. Taking all the circumstances into con sideration, the judgment of the Court was, that the in solvent be imprisoned at the opposing creditor's suit for six calender months, for the damages and costs in the action. John Hiscoch was sentenced to five months imprison ment for putting his opposing creditors, Messrs. Lane and Bennett, to 321. costs, in defending an action brought on a bill of exchange for 281. During the violent storm on the morning of last Sa turday. the lightning struck a tree situated at about 150 yards from the house of T. Brocklebank. Esq. at West Combe Park, running about 40 feet down, and stripping the trunk of its bark, which was thrown in all directions. About 130 feet from the tree one piece was picked up, weighing neatly 21b. which bad apparently been driven with great force into the earth. Yesterday afternoon, as a cart was passing up George yard, Shoreditch, a man named Monk, in the employ of Mr. Baker, a druggist, was crushed against the wall, while endeavouring to preserve from the same danger a poor woman who was passing with a load of greens upon her head. The unfortunate man had three ribs, his collar-bone, and breast-bone broken, and was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital in a dreadful state. A gentleman, whilst crossing, on Tuesday evening lag, between nine and ten o'clock, from the Walworth-road to the coach-stand opposite the Elephant and Castle, was knocked down near the Fishmongers' Alms-housei, and received some very severe contusions, by a horse and chaise going at a furious rate, and in which was a gentle men's servant. The gentleman was picked up inimedi atel,y,, and conveyed to a surgeon in the London-road: POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Williams Jones and Joseph Doman were brought up for re-exami nation, before Sir Peter Laurie yesterday, on suspicion of having stolen two silver spoons from the Rainbow Tavern, in Fleet-street. They were remanded, that other tavern-keepers might have an op. portunity of bringing charges against them, and that the prisoners might produce witnesses to their character.—No fresh complaint appeared. Jones said he was a silk manufacturer, in business for himself, In the Hackney road, and repeated his former declaration that be was intoxicated at the time, and that before Gon, be was not con scious that he had put the spoon in his coat-pocket. Dowman, who bad a gold watch, and three sovereigns about him when apprehended, called his employer, Mr. Jones, of St. Paul's Church yard, who testified that the prisoner was in his service, and that he considered him incapable of committing such a crime. At the same time he had no idea that he was a frequenter of taverns. Sir Peter Laurie said, it was possible that he might, as be bad stated, sit next to a thief in a coffee hawse, and converse with him, and yet not observe his actions; and as he was in employment (which was not usually the case with persons brought before him for felony), he should discharge him; but be would seriously ad vise him to leave off haunting taverns and public houses. The charge against the other prisoner was so clearly established, that be must commit him (or trial. HATTON-GARDEN• A boy named Francis Samuels, ten yens old, and diminutive of hit age, was charged with violating a little girl, only five years of age, hi s master'selaughter. The mother of the child made the discovery on Saturday ; bear ing an unusualsnoise in tie parlour, she went softly in, and saw the juvenile delinquent committing the offence. She took the little girl to a surgeon immediately, who pronounced that she bad been most seriously injured. The boy, when questioned, said that he bad been induced to commit the offence from seeing another lad abusing the child in the same manner. ---- Tb;iisgistrs --- te ordered him to be iinrisoned in the House of Correction for one month, end to be soundly whipped. An inquiry was ordered to be niade relative to the truth of the bey's defence. DIARY-LA-BONNE. William Swain and Jane Swabey, man and wife. were yesterday placed at the bar, before Mr. Hoskins, the presiding Magistrate, charged on suspicion of stealing ten sovereigns and a large quantity of plate, from a person of respectable appearance residing in Buck ingham-place' Mary-la-bonne. It appears that the female prisoner was in the habit of assisting the servant of the prosecutor in cleaning. On Saturday last the twe prisoners knocked at the door. and the mistress being out, the servant took them down into the kitchen where they waited upwards of an boor, and best part of the time bad been left to themselves. At length they left the house, and shortly after the servant went to bed ; but upon rising in the morning discovered that the drawers in the kitchen had been broken open. and the ar tides, to the amount of 301. stolen. She (the servant) was certain that go one had entered the kitchen after the prisoners went out, and they could not have entered the room without disturbing her. Buckeridge, the officer of this establishment. searched the pri soners' lodgings, and found nothing whatever connected with the robbery. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the property. Mr. Hoskins thought the evidence was nut sufficiently strong to warrant him in detaining them. and therefore ordered them to be discharged. LA Al BETH-STREET. Yesterday Williams Xeisnington was brought before T.Walker lisq, for final examination, on a Charge of stealing a valuable are, the property of Mr. Jones, a farmer, residing near Finchley. Mr. Jones stated that on Friday evening last, the mare, with which the prisoner was stopped, was, with two others, turned into a field near the residence of Lord Tenterden. On the following morning she was missing, and after some inquiry he ascertained that she was in the possession of a constable at Holloway. tie I liad since seen her; she was his property, and was worth upwards of 301.—1 n reply to the questions of the Magistrates, Mr. Jones said, that he had known the prisoner from his having for several years lived as groom to a gentleman in his neighbourhood, but was discharged from his service about six months ago. Since that time be believed he got his living by horse dealing and horse stealing.' Hermit . , a constable of Holloway, deposed to his having stopped the prisoner a few minutes before twelve o'clock on Friday night. On questioning him about the mare, he said that a stranger bad requested of him to take her to the sign of the Sugarloaf, in Whitechapel, but on subsequently making inquiries, no such sign was to be found in all Whitechapel. On the prisoner being searched there were found in his pockets several wire snares, and other articles used by poachers • so that it would appear that he used to do a little in that way also.—He offered nothing in defence, and was fully committed for triaL MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Join Peapall, a lad of respectable appearance, was yesterday placed at the bar for re-examination, charged with baring been concerned ha a daring burglary committed in the house of Hr. Wm. Jarrin, confectioner, residing in Bawd -street, in the evening of Sun day week. The only evidence against the prisoner was briefly this :—He bad lived in the service of the prosecutor as errand boy, and for some irregularity of conduct had been discharged from his service about a fortnight since. On Sunday week Mr. Jarrin bad occasion to come down stairs about three in the morning, when be discovered that his back door, leading into Lancaster -court, had been broken open, and upwards of four dozen silver spoons had been stulen, and a drawer underneath the counter (in which the prosecutor was In the habit of depositing cash) had been broken open ; bet, sin gular enough on this particular occasion. be had taken 900 sovereigns out of it a few bouts before, and It was left entirely empty. Sus picion fell strongly upon the prisoner, who it was said resided with a prostitute in one of the sinks of infamy in Westminster. and he was apprehended by Ballard, but nothing tending to throw the least light upon the subject was found. Sir George Farrant, after paying the utmost attention to the case, ordered the prisoner to be discharged, alth o ugh it was inti mated that if any fresh evidence could be produced be would be again apprehended. THAMES POLICE. _ _ Jaws Cad and John Hention,alia; Saunders, were charged with attempting to commit a burglary upon the premises of Messrs. Smith and Bailey, sail-makers, at Bermondsey. Mr. Curling at tended on the part of the Bermondsey Association for the prose cution of burglars, to prosecute the prisoners, who are well known 1 ! flash" thieves. George White, a !letterman, deposed that between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning he heard a noise fike the cracking of glass upon Messrs. Bailey and Smith's premises, near Fountain Stairs. Something fell into the water ; he examined the premises to see that all wu safe. Upon climbing up the spout and looking over a platform which connects the warehouses, he saw Hewson squatting on tie floor. He asked hint what business he had there, and his answer was. " I don't know." He secured him at once, and procuring other assistance searched the prendies, and disco. rued Cook concealed in the gutter upon the roof, in which a hole had been made sufficient to admit a man. • A gintlernan said the 'itemises had lately been plundered of about 401, worth of property. Matthew Smith, an officer of Bermondsey, said the prisoners were well known thieves. Howson had been tried twice for burglary, and had only just come out of prison. Mr. lhoderip committed them both to Brixton for three months, for baring been found as described, with intent to commit a felony. Peter Eines, an athletic seaman belonging to a Baltic trader, was charged with beating a couple of collier Captains, and nearly drown. ing an Irish watchman. It appeared front the testimony of divers watchmen, the two Captains, and others, that during the storm on Friday night, or rather Saturday morning, two t `aptains bailed a 'Culler at Stottestairs, Ratcliffe, to put them off to their respective ships. The prisoner and two of his companions came down about '1 the same time and insisted upon going in the same boat with the Captains. This was resisted by them, and a wrangle ensued, which ended in the host being vet adrift with the Captains on board. The waterman called the watchman, and the defendant and his compaii ohms instantly, to use a nautical phrase, hove two of them into the Thames ; a general battle took place between the watchmen, sailors, and waterman in the river, the princieal incident of wl.leh was, that Patrick Mammy, a watchman, was thrown, rattle, coat, stick, and all Into the river, and bad he nut used great exertion, would no doubt have been obliged to render in another world some explanation of the " Confeasions" be had been making for the last fifty years to his prie.t. sailors fought well, as sailors generally do in their owti element, and h.or. log fairly " quilted" half a score of watchmen and wates men, they, finding their retreat hopeless, gallantly took to the water and swam away from their enraged opponents like Ashes.
