Nothing eke of rabic Interest transpired. VICIL-CHANCICLLOIRS' COURT, Jan. Si. sestsr s. f uss. The cirounsstancPs of this case, which has excited considerable interest among the residents in Lincoln's Inn, are shortly these:—The Messrs. Burley, and the defendant Moor, having been tenants in common to a set of chaatbers, in No. 8, New-square, Lincoln's lon, a bill was filed by the former in the Rolls Court, for the purpose of procuring a partition of the chambers in question ; a decree for that purpose was obtained, and Commissioners appointed to make the allotment. Jt may be necessary to state, that a similar decree had heed obtained by the father of the Messrs. Burley; but that Gentleman having died before the allotment of the Commissioners, a supplemental bill was filed by his sons, and a fresh decree was the result. The chambers consisted of four rooms, and• the Commissioners allotted two ►ooms, each party declaring at the same time, that as the two allotted to the Messrs. Barley were of a de scription superior to those awarded to Mr. Moor, thit o the litter should recei►e 3001. as a compensation for the excess of value. The two rooms allotted to the Messrs. Burley were at the bottom of a passage leading off the staircase. This passage was part of the moiety allotted to Mr. Moor, but a right of way over it was reserved to the other party. The parties, who are. solicitors, continued to carry en their business in the chambers until last September, when Mr. Moor re moved to a set of chambers at the opposite side of the staircase. Previously to his removal, the names of the respective films had been painted on the doors Of the passage into the old chamber—the names of Messrs. _Burley on one side, and those of Mr. Moor and his partner, Mr. Lake, on the other, with a line drawn be tween them. Shortly after Mr. Moor's removal, he procured the door on Which the names had been so written, to be painted or grained over, and the names of his own firm alone to be written across the door. The Messrs. Burley insisted on having their names also written upon it. and procured a painter to do it. Their , names were, however, scarcely written, when they len obliterated by Mr. Moor. A contest of this nature was, carried on for some time, when the plaintiffs Sled a bill for the purpose of asserting their right. The hill prayed that the Court do declare that according to the tateot and meaning of the two decrees, the plaings were entitled, for the convenient use and occupation 'of their moiety of the chambers, to ,paint or AB/ 'their names to the door °fele common paw's... had'ibitt the Court accordingly declare that there ihoola jalOtti.64ll a reservation to that effect is the deed otpirtilicitigi.: *clued between the parties, and, ,finally,', ihatlfie te• Pendant be restrained frogs effacing and oblitelatitt the names of the plaintiffs from the door. TO this defendant put in a demurrer, and Messrs. ninth and Walker appeared today in support of it—Meiiti. Horne and Trealove went on the's:libel. side. The Vics-Cnasteard.on, after hearing the Cosnsel on both sides, decided that as the apkitirtennaces to the ;linear allotted to Mr. Moor also passed, to NM finder dm deed of partition, and as the door and'ivell came . adder the head of appurtenances. the s could net have the right of painting their isanteion them. His Honour rejected the necessity of to deciding as the loss to Mr. Moor, in case the plaintiffs ha d tight, could be nothing ; whilst, on the other hand, the plaintiffs could be considerably damaged by not being able to intimate to their clients where they cos*, be found. His Honour, however. felt confident that - t le alai oais, he . society, whose property. the walls orthe puld allow the plaintiffs to affix a board tot • an lade& pointing to their chamb,ers. The demurrer was allowed. It was subsequently intimated to his Honour that the Ilaeke lad - no risk of property to the 'raised the building to tie Neirgeore. COURT OF KING'S 41INCH 1 Jae. si. - At the sitting el the Cosh, dhe Middlesex Orasid Airy were worm. Mr. Justice BATLZII in his address to them remarked, that a former Jury having represented that they had , not sufficient accommodation, application had been made to the Secretary of State's Office, and the answer s i tr v i e le t . t t was, that they were prevented from giving a answer, in consequence of the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer from town. .The Learned Judge added, th.it he had no doubt the representation would be attended to, but no order had been made. The Grand Jury were at liberty to mention the matter again. fits lUajestl's warrant was read rcemiabling the Judges to sit for dhpaten of badness out of Term. The LORD Chas lenses then intimated, that be should so ar. hive, that lais Learned Brodkin West sit in the adjoining chamber, Whale he was trete, emus at Aroißeitse s in this Court. ' ens fume n. the COMOMINOW 1101MICII. Mr. PATTISON applied to enlat,ge 'a rule obtained by the Solicitor General, for a mandamus commanding the' Corporation to proceed to the election at Chnenberlaanof that Corporation. The application now Made was supported by the affidavit of the Town Clerk, who stated that a special assembly had been summoned to meet for the purpose of taking the subject into consideration, and if he should be instructed to defend the Corporation against the motion made by the Solicitor General, it would be necessary to search for documents among the Corporation muniments.—The Court enlarged the rule for a week.

HUTCHINSON submitted, that as she prisoner had mistook the deceased for a poacher, it was evident that he bad not been actuated by malice, and that con mine:fly he ought to be admitted to bail.

LOAD= V. assm Mr. Servant VAUGHAN moved the Court in this case upon a point raised by an arbitrator. The plaintiff held premises upon lease from the defendant, in which was a clause that in case the premises aboold be burnt down, the landlord should reinstate the same as soon as possi ble after such fire, "in the same manner as they were before the fire." A new lease foe an increased term of years was granted, and the plaintiff, with the approbes don of the defendant, laid out a large mei of money 111 alterations ; a fire did happen, and an action we:brought for the amount of the damage; the case was referred, when the defendant contended that he was only liable to pay the costs of putting the premises in the state they were before the alteration, which woold amount waist* SW. whereas, if he was boned to put them in the same *tate that they wene at the time the fire happened, the , costs would amount to 2501.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. • sisiaanaaa airs • This case, arising opt of tbd t rarkruptcy of a p agent, was now called upon for argument. It involved questions of great importance in point of principles The capture was made in 1796, and the houses a( Paton and Grenfell. anJ Cook and Raiford, were all.; :pointed prise agents. Cook and Halford were agent ' for the naval, and Paton and Grenfell for the military past of the 'etpedition. Mr. Paten became a bankrupt in 1821, whilst a considerable sum stiil remained un distributed; and the Treasurer of the Navy now ii sisted that all the agents were liable, and called upon them steer illy to make up the deficiency, and distribute due to the captoia. The qu9tion now cadet] before the Court, to decide whether Mr. Grenfell, the] copartner of the banks apt, or Messrs. Cook 'and Hal. lord, were liable in the first instance. Dr. Jan NKR, on the part of Mr. Orenfell, argued that the two houses became responsible originally, and that the division of duty, the one party becoming agents for dot bevy, and the other for the military force, was a, Mrs batter .of convenience, as the two houses tindelu, roat joint responsibtlity. Before any part of the saes now deficient had been received by the house of and Grenfell, Mr. Grenfell withdrew from the toirsero, and in point of fact, never received any benefit from the agencr, as appealed by his affidivit. Sr C. Rounraort-If be -did not receive any . benefit, It war hem Ids own negligence. His name was inserted in the power of •11.0, which was regularly rtglkerbd. 7.timijd . Grenfell was cettssinly diped in the poWer of itrorney, but he took no 'share in the transaction. Mells11•L'ook and Raiford original! seethed the money, and paid a part to Mr. GrenMl bid not to the loose of Pattie and Or/14cl', for at I►asi Orettoni to Hint petted Mt. Geed** Carl viitharian himself from the o.irtner4iip. tinder' these circumstances, tine Learned Counsel submitted, that.fdr. Grenfell was not liable. Tho Ictiteasktstrobasn said, that the question which this case iaveilved,. was most important as a principle, and a pohitOr practice. Hff contended, that as the 'hous96l Pawn and Orenfe 'had'htigihalytudertaten to abt is 'agents to the captors, aft the 'members of that bons* Were equally liable ' , and that it lirtg imp:aide for any one of the meinberi to 'abiblreltimself from such a responsibility. In the cast a Tarragona, the principle was fully argued, and the Court decided, that the original' unity and community of purpose and re :tonsil:silky rendered all the agents liable. Dr. Putz.Lritoits, for Messrs. Cook and lialford, submitted, that it irould . he monstrous, that the agents! of the N.tvy should be cilled'upon to make good a de ficiency crested by the bankruptcy of one of the agents for the Amy, whilst the co-partner of 'that agent was 'alive and in solvent circumstances. 'br. Lennossow felittwed air the Julie side. Lord &vivaria said, he was clearly of opinion that Mr.thenfell was answerable in the first instance. was for him to consider afterwards, whether there were any Means by which Cook slid Halford could be made to bear a share of the responsibility, but they certainly were not the first marks to be shot at, as Mr. Grenfell was at hand and liable. As he bad before stated, some complaint had been made of the . extraordinary delay which had taken pl , ce, but upon looking carefully into the circumstances, be was pleased to fluid that it did not , !rest with any person connected with that Court. It was attributable to the difficulty found in realising the produce of the capture, which was aggravated by dif ferences between the claimants. A COnversitlon f en arose relative to the colts, and It was finally agreed, Milt aU the costs Incurred shoed be' pfd out of NW food, With the exception of Mr. Greta(Ars, Wilda arose impala isp Mu self.—Adjou:sed. INSOLVENT DZDTORS' COURT, Jaw. 31. Maras ?hatted', late of the Cock, in the Haymarket, applied for his chicbarge, which woes opposed by Mr. Pollock, on behalf of Messrs. Barman' and-Cole, asaig nees under a commission of banktuptcy isSued against the insolvent in or about the year I.W. • Mr. Chamberlain opposed usproprioisersone. Mr. HIATU, in [mute, observed, on the part of the insolvent, that he bad been nearly four years in custody, at the suit of some of the parties who now opposed biro. Mr. Conunimiesser Bowan said it appeared that he had berme the COurt in ton. Meese Mr.flairn admitted that be had by petition,'but not ' '' in person--:the petition alluded to was therefore die missed, omog to some informality. Mr. D. Pot-Locx, on behalf of the opponents, re• marked, that his clients founded their objection princi , pally upon the fact of the insolvent 's having been a bankrupt, and that the recital as to the detaining cre ditors was informal. Mr. Hearn replied,* it was so long since the in solvent bad been in tactrity, that it was impossible he could recollect every pat ticular.There could be no doubt 'but that he'had been in &reactor the time specified. The insolvent was then asked by' the Court, whether be could remember at whose s uit, a m ong hi s detaining creditors, he was first arrested? He stated his inability to do so. Mr. Commissioner LAW intimated, that if any diffi culty existed, it would rather arise, perhaps, from the schedule than the petition. Mr. Por.Locs reminded the Court, that although the insolvent bad been a long time is custody, the comfits.- sent arose from misdemeanour, and not frontlet... process. Me could not deoy, however, but that the op. peeing creditors recognized the original action. The CQUAT thought that the assignets under thel bankruptcy had been'afibrded ample time to investigate eves y point. Mr. Hicks's', for the insolvent, said ih,t his client Was ready to swear that be never refused to appear to the commission. - - _ Mr. Pot.a.oms said that he bad no moons of negativing that het. TWa point Stavin: been settled, Mr. Chamberlain, the creditor, who opposed in per son, was called, and he commenced his complaint by stating, that the insolvent having had a commission of bankruptcy issued against him, had not appeared thereto. Mr. Commissioner Bowsw.—The Commissioners un der that Statute are the best judges as to what ought to be done under that. State your individual case,zsir. The witness said, that he is and was in 1852 and 1823, a cosehrnaker, in Great Newport•street, and that at the latter end of the former, or about the commencement of the latter year, he bad the misfortune to supply a saw horse chaise to the insolvent for his then alleged use, and that afterwards. he supplied other' orders, which made his bill 941. and upwards—a bill was given for part of the amount: After the bill became due, he saw the insolvent, who, in reply to his visions inquiry as to settlement, said (using a strong expression), " If you'll come to night to my house in the Haymarket, you shall be paid." By an examination at Quality Court,.he (witness) had ascertained that a docket bad bees struck before his promise had been given. In addition to the above expression, he said that an action had been pend ing between him and the County Fire Office, and that Mr. Barber Beaumont had not used him kindly, and in the warmth of his temper, Mr. Thurtell prefixed terms ungentlemanly. The witness concluded his evidence by stating, that he conceived that the insolvent having obtained goods by means of false pretences; was ame nable to the animadversion of the edam. To a question by the COURT, the insolvent said, that he had been three years and four months in confine ment, during which time be had been debarred from intercourse with his wife and childten. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said to Mr. Chamberlain, that the Court thought, that any representation made at the time relative to the supposed claim on the County Fure-offiee, might, for aught that had been shewn to the contrary, bear the impression on his mind. ' Mr. Chamberlain—l beg pardon, Sirs, (addressing the COlOl/111 stoners) but he ha, obtained three or four chiabes of otbespersous. Couar--With that we have nothing to do; the partierore not ' here to complain. A further discussion took place, which related to the practice of the Court rather than from the hostility of the opposing creditor,'as to the service of notice; but the result was, that as soon as the defects were amended, the insolvent's case should be adjudicated upon. It should be observed, as we had a sight of the insol yeti's schedule, that tfre chime upon hiss were but 2,0011. 101, Bd. and on tie reverse side of his schedule appeared 7571. dde to hiin, out of which was 5001. lent Ito William Probert, late of Gail'.

Sir P. Lanus said, the evidence made oats case which he felt justified in sending to a Jury. The prisoner was mainlined for trial.. • - A man of decent appearance was brought op, charged with steal ing Alderman Violable,' hat. It appeared hythe evidence of one of the blarshaimen, that at the Court of Aldermen the day before, witch being an open-Court the public were 1111Satted, he saw the prisoner take a bat off the rack, and eye it in suds a •nonaser as led him to think.they were strangers to each other. He allowed the prisoner to walk off with his prise but immediately bronght him back , when the bat proved to be Al derman Variables's. • , -The prisoner In.his defence said, that It was getting dusk at the time, and he thought it was his own bat he had got. Sir Pere, Levet& asked hint to spew his own, that it might be seen whether there was mush resemblance between them ? The prl.oaer held up a bat the very antipodes of the Alder man's, whims eiridently commence-4i its caster with the present mournies, whereas the prisoner's appeared to have been in service ever anew the last. Both she Aldermen smiled at seeing the hat for which Alderman Venabiee's was Aliatiken. The prisoner eery ingeniously took the Mot, and immediately said, " Oh ! Lord, Sir, this isn't my kat at all—my hat was an tietliAlt• one, and must have been taken away by somebody that Jett chi& its place." Alderman Venable, said, be knew the prisoner had lately sntfered much in mind, body, sod estate; and as there was a peselhillry.that be took the bat by mistake, it was his wish that heibeedd be discharged.

Some days ago a young man, named Taylor, was charged with robbing another young man, nutted Sullivan, of a sovereign, and a half sovereirg, by knocking bllnlown the night before, in the street, and forcibly taking the money front his pocket. Sullivan swore positively to the robbery, and the prisoner Taylor was committed for trial on the charge. • Scarcely bad the ease chased when Ned Stockman, the pugilist, en treed the °Mee, and, meeting Sullivan in the passage, he gave him into custody, upon a charge of having, on the night before, robbed , him (Stockman) of the very sovereign and half-sovereign which had been Cho subject of the investigation just over. Stockman swore as positively to this robbery as Sullivan did to the preceding one, and the latter was aim committed .(but only for re-examination until yesterday), and Taylor was ordered to be also brought up, although committed for trial, before Stockman gave another turn to the affair. Yesterday the prisoners were accordingly placed at the bar, and the sitting Magistrate seemed not a little puzzled how to get red or dispose of them There was clearly no use inmending Taylor to trial for robbing• Sullivan, if Sullivan was to be.committed for rob. biag Stockman, for then Sullivan being incapacitated as' a witness, there avid be no evidence against Taylor, and the evidence of rob bery being just as sarong against Sullivan himselfas against Taylor, it would not he proper to let the framer escape, Mid to semi the latter to trial. After, however,. MOM amongst the Magistrates, it was decided, that as Sseolunan was not anxious to press the dt,provided be got his money back, both pri s on ers should bed h:p e i ged, on their consenting to have the money found on them given up to Swami; this the prisoners very madly agreed to, and Taylor candidly acknowledged that the money was , not hit, and Sullivan confeeeed that it .pireperly belonged to Stert.

EDINGBURGH POLICE. Friday,the Proprietor of the Equestrian Theatre on the 3414 Edinburgh, had three men brought to the bar of the Poli ce & dirt : to skew cause why they, without his knowledge or cooseet,L6 eniered the above theatre, and to the discredit of all coanect e d w i d , it, had fought Within its precincts a most sanguinary battle. 'Ys t 'defenders in this case were, a professor of the pugilistic an, s spirit dealer, and a showman. The triumvirate, it appeared, tru e walking leisurely up the Mound, when, between the spirit kakir and the showman, who had previously discussed the corn questua in the most amicable manner imaginable, there arose a most viohO t dispute on the subject of Catholic Emancipation, which the pugdi t saw no hope of bringing to a termination without calling in the a,. sistance of his art. He therefore proposed that the debate should I be settled by single combat; and that they might neon with no ia. terroption in such an equable mode of atbitremern, he would .:ri t the key of the Equestrian Theatre, which he did, from me old * servants of the establishment. The preliminaries were moo ad. juiced, and the onset sounded by the professor ; but whether tlic friend or opponent of emancipation gained the victory is unknostr. This only is certain, that When the showman appeared I. c um. one of his eyes was herMetically closed, and the other edged w i t & as intense a black as the heart of the pugil.st himself could kart wished:—The Magistrate, after complimenting the conduct sf the proprietor of the theatre, fined each of the parties in the sum of 54, and bound them over to keep the peace, under a penalty of :1.

Such is the extraordinary neatness of the spat tmenti in some of the Inns id Hungary, and of every thing be longing to them, that a considerate traveller will scarcely permit the servants to bring his baggage into chambers se unlike mast others which he has been.c custotbed to. A male child, named George Charles Holton, whose parents-reside in Great Carter-lane, Doctors' Common, was stolen on the 24th instant, and has not since been heard of.
