LAW INTELLIGENCE: COURT OF CHANCERY, Juts Is. BURCKETT V. woolsoan. UOMB applied on behalf of a ward of that Court, a yoang gentleman, against whom his guardian found it necestutry to take proceedings for a clandestine marriage. At the instance of the guardian, the Court allowed the young man only 1001. a-year, which, as it passed alto gether through his own hands, was insufficient for his expenses, and the consequence was that he now lay in Dunkirk for debt. The prayer of the petitioner was that the guardian might receive the 1001. to pay the ward's debts, in order to enable him to come to London. He had been bound to a surgeon in the country, and was desi rous of residing in London to pursue his medical studies. — Agreed to. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, JULY Ite % LAZENBY V. WINGROVE. This was an action against the defendant by the pa tentee of Hervey's Fish Sauce, for selling in St. Paul's Church-yard a spurious sauce under the same title. The Attorney-General proved in evidence that the label used by the defendant had not been struck from' the same plate as that used by the plaintiff. Those on the plaintiff's pint bottles were square, and those on the half-pints were round, each bearing the same reading. Mr. Brougham, for the defendant, contended that the sauce sold by his client was in fact Hervey's sauce. The defendant had bought a quantity of sauce in pint and half-pint bottles, but had a larger proportion of half pints, in consequence of the demand for them being much greater. He had an order from the country for a number of pint bottles, and not having sufficient of them, he procured similar bottles, and merely poured the half pints into the pints, at the same time transferring the labels from the half-pints to the pints ; this accounted for the pint bottles sold by the defendants. Even the plain tiff's witnesses admitted, by cross-examination, thet each plate was obliged to be renewed when 20,000 labels had been struck from it ; how, therefore, could his learned friend say that the labels used by defendant were not his labels, when they were, in fact, an impression from an older plate than the impression produced ? Lord Tenterden summed up, and the Jury returned a' verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 401. MIDDLETON AND ANOTHER V. PROST. This was an action for the recovery of 9001. the balance of a sum of money collected by a person of the name of Squire, deceased, who was the collector of taxes for the Bishop's Liberty, in the parish of Lambeth. The de- fendant Frost had become security for Squire, and the action was therefore brought against him for the sum mentioned, the balance left of the deceased's collection, amounting to 3,226/. and due at the time of his death. After several witnesses had been examined, at the sug gestion of Lord Tenterden, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for such amount as might be proved to have been received. The witnesses, thirty-five in number, were then ordered to go into one of the rooms attached to the Court, for the purpose of proving, before one of the members of the bar, the sums they had respectively paid to Squire. THOMAS V. HARMAN. The plaintiff, who entered into a contract to serve the defendant as superintending clerk in the wine and spirit trade, brought this action to recover 76.5/. being the amount of money belonging to the plaintiff, in the hands of Mr. Harman, and three quarters' salary, at the rate of 4001. a year. The defendant paid into Court 4291. It appeared that the plaintiff was taken into the service of the defendant upon a large salary. He was to superin tend the entries in order that there might be no mistake with the excise. In consequence of some error with re spect to the quantities of spirits in the defendant's cellars, the defendant thought proper to dismiss him. The jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 362/. SHERIFF. COURT, Rae Lax mum's, Jun 28. CRIM CON.-DOYLEY V. BEVELL. Mr. Cockburn (with whom was Mr. Sergeant Spankie) opened the pleading. This was an action in which Mr. J. H. Doyley was plaintiff, and Lieut. Bevell, of the sth dragoons, defendant. The action was for criminal con versation with the plaintiff's wife. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default, thereby admitting the truth of the charges the plaintiff preferred against him. The damages were laid at 5,0001. Mr. Sergeant Spankie rose to address the jury.—The plaintiff was the younger son of Sir John H. Doyley. At Sir John's death, the title and property fell to the elder son, Sir Charles Doyley, who was without any children, and consequently the plaintiff was heir-presumptive to his brother's title. About ten or twelve years ago, the plaintiff, who was then about twenty-four years of age, married his present wife, who was then eighteen years of age. The marriage, which was solemnized at Calcutta, was contracted with the perfect approbation of their mu tual friends. While they remained at Calcutta, they visited, and were visited, by the must respectable persons there. They were also frequent visiters at Sir Charles Doyley's, who was married to a relation of the Marquis of Has tings. It became necessary for Mr. Doyley to remove from Calcutta up the country. The jury were no doubt aware, that in the detached stations in India, there were yery few Europeans ; a wife, therefore, was a most ne cestiaiy companion, and Mr. Doyley here found the great advantage of the marriage state; for although obliged to live in a state of comparative' eclusion, he felt not the ef fect of his situation, such was the happiness that he en joyed in his wife's society. In progress of time the plaintiff became the father of three children, two boys and a girl. In 1825 Mrs. Doyley's health was affected, and one of the .children was very ill. It was usual for Euro peans to remove their children to England, not only for the advantage of receiving a good education, but also for 'the binefit of their health. It became expedient that Mrs. Doyley and her clkildien should proceed to England, and accordingly, in 1825, they set out for this country. How Mr. Doyley felt at that separation can be better felt than described. An allowance of one thousand pounds a-year. was settled on Mrs. Doyley during her absence in fagland, and she took with her a letter of introduction to' a . Reverend Gentleman, named Snow, who was married to a sister of Mr. Doyley. Mrs. Doyley, who was most respectably connected, upon her. arrival in Eng had went to her half-brother, a gentleman named Vansit • tan, ramding in Yorkshire, where she stopped 'some time; she subsequently lived with Mr. Snow some time, and. in fliSTsha came to London. Here she became acquainted , . k 4 isiei )4rs.: Bedell—or rather with Mrs. Brown, for she mama& a second. time—and then .with the defendant, ' : leko, be befiged, was related by marriage to the Doyley , ... . . funny. -' NA: Doyley took a house - m Bentmck-street, ... • . . and berti .ilss gen shy the defendant-- and here if was ' tke'ctieeteeiso*Cptigiisted which give rise to this tic ' timi; Jhrshafwicieof,dtpril, 1828, Mrs. Doyley gave NA 404childe of "Mau the defendant was the father. ..

Mr. Snow having heara many stories to the disadvantage of Mrs. Doyley, felt that for the honour of the plaintiff, as well as in justice to Mrs. Doyley herself, it would be right to institute an inquiry into the truth of these stories : he did so, and after proceeding from Lon don to Gloucester and Malvern, he went to Leeds, and he there found Mrs. Doyley under the name of Bevell, and far advanced in a state of pregnancy. Under these circumstances it became necessary to proceed with this action, and to institute at the same time another in the Ecclesiastical Court, in order that a divorce might be obtained. This was the case upon which the Jury had to decide. Mr. James Atkinson was called, and• examined by Mr. Cockburn— He deposed that he was present at Mr. Doyley's marriage in Calcutta. He was about 24 years of age, and Mrs. Doyley 18. She was the daughter of a gentleman named Thompson. Witness visited the Doyley family constantly. Lady Doyley, the plaintiff's sister-in-law, was related to the Marquis of Hastings's Lady. Witness is a married man. The plaintiff and his wife lived very happily together. The plaintiff was particularly fond of his wife. They had three children — two boys and one girl. In 1825 Mrs. Doyley left India for England in consequence of the extreme illness of the lyoungest child. She took with her the other two children, who were of that age when children usually went to Eng land from India. It was the constant practice for ladies to accompany their children to England; it would have been the utter ruin of Mr. Doyley's expectations if he accompanied Mrs. Doyley to England ; knew from Mrs. Doyley that her allowance was 1,0001. a year ; that sum being subsequently found insufficient, the allowance was increased. Sir Charles Doyley, who had been married now 14 years, was without any children ; the plaintiff was consequently heir presumptive to his brother's title. Mr. Alexander Melville examined by Mr. Sergeant I Spankie—Knew the Doyley family intimately ; the plain tiff was assistant to his brother at Bahr, where Sir Charles was opium agent; the plaintiff was immediately under him ; witness never had an opportunity of judging of the manner in which the plaintiffand his wife lived, but upon one occasion, when he lived in the plaintiff's house for three days, from what he then saw, he considered them to live in the most perfect state of happiness. The Rev. S. Snow deposed that he was related to the plaintiff by marriage ; his wife was plaintiff's sister.— Mrs. Doyley was introduced to him by a letter from the plaintiff. She was two months in England before she visited him : she went to Mr. Vansittart, (who was her half-brother,) in Yorkshire, in the first instance : she then visited witness ; her children remained with her a good part of the time. In the spring of 1827 she went to re side in London ; it was intended that she should return to India in the latter part of 1827. In the August of that year she positively refused to go back to India ; she was then residing in Bentinck-street. Knew Mrs. Brown, the defendant's mother ; she had been married three times ; her first husband was uncle to the plaintiff. Heard that Mrs. Doyley had left London for Gloucester ; pro ceeded in quest of her in March, 1828 ; came first to London ; proceeded onwards to Walworth, where he saw the children left in the care of Mrs. Husband, Mrs. Doyley's servant. In consequence of what was commu nicated to him by Mrs. Husband, he proceeded to Leeds, accompanied by that female ; he there found Mrs. Doyley in lodgings ; did not know what name she went by ; she was large with child—indeed, very near her confinement. On his return home, a person, whom he understood to be the defendant, overtook him at Axminster, and stated to him his wish that the matter between him and Mrs. Doyley should be hushed up, saying, that after Mrs. Doyley's accouchement she would be enabled to go to India, and that her husband need know nothing of the matter. Mrs. Doyley was allowed 1,0001. a year by her husband. -Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Taddy—Did not think that Mrs. Doyley could think herself in a forlorn situation in England. She was not left at the inn, at Liverpool, without any one to protect her. The moment he heard of her arrival, he wrote to say not only that his house was open to her, but that he would come to Liver pool to escort her to his home, if necessary, but that duty was undertaken by her brother, Mr. Vansittart. Did not recommend her to live at a watering-place. She lived some months at his house. She then went to London; her doing so was contrary to our wishes ; this was in the Spring of 1826; her hther was then living with Lord Rivers ; upon that occasion she took lodgings in Duke street ; she was six weeks alone in lodgings in London ; her children were left with witness ; never could have heard her express her disappointment that she was not countenanced by Mr. Doyley 's relatives, because she was paid the greatest attention by them ; did not know of his own knowledge that she mixed in parties in London in 1826; she was fond of the society of London. Ellen Husband deposed, that she lived with Mrs. Doyley, as her maid and housekeeper; she engaged with her in January, 1826 ; was recommended to her by Lady Turner, Mr. Vansittart's wife. Lived in London with Mrs. Doyley, first in Duke-street, and afterwards in Bentinck-street. In the spring of 1827, Mr. Bevel was introduced to her mistress by his mother; never knew him to call on her before then ; he visited her frequently 'afterwards. Mrs. Doyley used to speak of her husband in a very affectionate manner ; the first time she heard her speak of him was at Kirk Latham, where, in alluding to the conduct of some gentlemen that were there, she wished that she (witness) had seen her husband—then, indeed, would she see a gentleman. This was before she was acquainted with the defendant; she afterwards spoke in very affectionate terms of the plaintiff; never heard her speak of the plaintiff after she became acquainted with the defendant. Her mistress left her in Gloucester with the children, while she went to Leeds. Saw h ? Doyley subsequently at Leeds ; s h e was th en i n the , fa mily way. Mary Key deposed that she resided at Leeds in the year 1828. Knew Mrs. Doyley ; she lay-in of a boy in witness's house: 'she passed . as Mrs. Bevell, and Li eu t. Bevell slept there constantly. This closed the evidence in support of the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant Teddy addressed the jury for the de fence.—He contended that there was no proof offered for the consideration of the jury, to show that the plaintiff and his lady hid lived upon the affectionate footing men tioned by his learned friend, who, in fact, embarked his own knowledge of India and the plaintiff's family, to make up for the want of other. evidence. What were the facts connected with this case ? A young woman at the age of 14 goes out to India to get married, and at a very early age arrives at the summit of her expectations. He found no objection with the policy of such a proceeding • but marriages contracted under such circumstances were without any of those endearing • ties that linked. man and wife together in England. There was no• union of the heart to consecrate the holy rite—no long, cherished affection to strengthen the bond of Won. rTh Learned Sergeant, after taking a very compre hensive view of the case, called the attention of M:ll2r - the jury to the character given of Mrs. Doyley, who wits represented to be full of gaiety, and fond of admira tion, and to the circumstances of a young gentleman like the defendant, meeting with a lovely and fascinating wo man, quite unprotected in such a pface as London. He called on them to look at the situation in which the de fendant was thus placed, and he was sure they would say that his act arose out of the frailty of nature, and was not the consequence of premeditated villany or base seduc tion. He trusted that these circumstances would have weight with the jury, and that they would not give heavy damages against his client, which could not benefit the plaintiff, and must be the ruin of the defendant, who had nothing but his commission for his support. The Under Sheriff having summed up the evidence, the jury retired, and in a few minutes returned their verdict against the defendant—damages, 1,0001. SUMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Womonyza. JULY St Mr. Justice Burrough arrived here this afternoon, and having been escorted by the Sheriff and his cavalc ade to the Castle, opened the Commission with the usual formalities. Lord Chief Justice Tyndal did not arrive until some time after. Their Lordships will attend di vine service at the Cathedral to-morrow, after which they will proceed to business, Lord Chief Justice Tyndal trying the causes, and Mr. Justice Burrough the prisoners. There are 33 prisoners for trial, amongst whom are the Staceys, for the murder of Mr. Langtree and his house keeper, at Portsmouth, in March last. This case excites great interest in this and the adjoining counties; so much so that we have heard of persons coming to a consider able distance, and taking lodgings in the town and sub urbs, for no other purpose but to be present to hear the trial. There is another case which strikes us as being out of the common order ; it is that of a female who, we understand,will be indicted capitally for having" wilfully and neglectfully left her bastard child exposed to the cold and night air, thereby causing its death." The other cases are of the usual description. There are only about 20 causes for trial, none of which are of any great interest except to the parties concerned. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Aamonow JILT 57. The Commission for the county of Berk/ was opened here on Saturday last by Mr. Baron Hullock and Mr. Baron Vaughan. Yesterday both the Learned Judges attended Divine Service. We regret to state, that in consequence of the severe indisposition of Mr. Baron Hul lock, the business of the Nisi Prius Court is deferred till to-morrow. The calendar is light in number, there being only 19 prisoners for trial, but some of the offences are of a very serious description. Mr. Baron Vaughan entered the Crown Court at half , past nine this morning, and after a most respectable Grand Jury had been sworn proceeded to address them. After which William Batson, aged 19, was convicted of assaulting and robbing Sarah Baker on the 25th March last, in the parish of Newbury.- Sentence of death recorded. James Smith, aged 23, was indicted for assaulting Win. Ledger, with intent to rob and murder him. Wm. Ledger examined by Mr. Talfourd—l was in the employ of Mr. Matthews, of Yattenden, as a shepherd, on Whit-Sunday last ; prisoner came to see me ; I was then shepherding; had nothing to do on Sunday; pri soner came to keep with me an hour or two on Sunday ; I was shearing a maggotty sheep ; there was no quarrel between us ; I lay down upon my back and went to sleep; awoke from violent blows ; I don't know how many, nor what with ; after a minute or two I got up and leaned against a tree ; the prisoner came to me ; there were spots of blood upon his face; he said, " did they take your money, shepherd?" and afterwards said, " Is there any blood upon my face, shepherd ?" I bled very much ; he would not go with me to Mrs. Wears, nor to the doctor's ; he washed my head, but I was afraid to go to the pond for fear he should push me in, for I suspected it was he who had been ill-treating me. Prisoner said he had not left me ten minutes ; that he had been putting the sheep into Calf-leach ; I had 10s. 9d. in my pocket ; I had told prisoner I had to pay .ss. for a dog. Mr. Breach, surgeon—The scalp was separated from the skull in a shocking state ; a violent kicking might have caused it ; it could not have been done at once. This evidence was corroborated by other witnesses. The jury returned a verdict of— Guilty. Sentence of Death recorded. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken at the Turf Tap, Tattersall's-yard, Hyde-park corner, before Mr. Higgs, coroner, on the body of George Angel, aged 30, who came by his death in the following shock ing manner : William Gomm stated, that he lived at Brentford : about three weeks ago the deceased and another man was assisting him to lift a box of soap, weighing about 6 cwt. out of a truck into a waggon, in the High-street, Brent— ford ; they had got one end of the box into the waggon, when by some means it canted round and fell on the leg of the deceased, who was severely injured. He was im mediately taken to his own home, and hi s em pl o y ers, rs Mess. Rowe, of Brentford, were informed of the acci dent, who directed their medical man to attend him. The deceased was perfectly sober at the time. Mr. George Cooper, of Brentford, surgeon, stated that he attended the deceased ; his leg was very much swollen, but he went on favourably for a few days, when the symptoms became alarming, and he recommended his being taken to St. George's Hospital. Mr. John Harrison, house-surgeon of St. George's Hospital, stated that the deceased was hrought in on the 9th ofluly ; every thing was done for him, but he gra dually got worse, and it was found that the only chance left of saving his fife was by amputating the limb, which was accordingly performed last Wednesday ; but the de ceased still grew worse, and died on Saturday last, from the injuries he had received. Verdict—" Accidental Death."—Deodand Is. The unfortunate man has left a wife and four children, the youngest only three months old, who were' entirely dependent upon him for support. An inquest was held at the King's Head, in Great Surrey-street, on the body of William Taylor, a stable man, in the employ of Mr. Smith, the coach-proprietor, who was killed while cleaning one of the horses. From the evidence it appeared, that on Friday last, while the deceased was engaged in his master's stables, cleaning what is termed a " fidgetty " horse, in using the curry comb the animal became very restive, and it was with dif ficulty the deceased could a pp roac h to finish the job. During the time the deceased struck the horse a slight blow on the hock with the back of the curry-comb, and at the moment the animal kicked with one of his hinder lefs, and struck the unfortunate man under the left breast with such violence as to cause his death in less than a quarter of aa hour afterwards. On a post esorteir ex- 1 rumination of. the body, it was found that the tenth rib was broken, the end; of which penetrated the heart, be sides great injury to the spine. A demand of ss. was levied on the horse. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. H A NSION-1110U8S. Daniel Forrester brought up Asepsis .!,stasis, an Italian D., of Laws, foe having in his poseestion a brace of pistol s with powder and nails, with which it is believed be inten t i e i: commit some mischief Ober to himself or to some other m ice : The Wiser stated, Chit when he entered the lower hall a i h e Mansion-house _about an hour before, be saw Signor A nnie walking up and down, and evidently much disturbed in hit a* —be told the °Meer be came to the Mansloo-house for justi ce , that if he did not obtain it be would " shoot."

Sir C. S. Hunter addressed the Italian In French, and de s i re d him to give some account of himself. He stated that he had gone to Limerick with Money in his pocket, and that be became assistant to a school, where he becam e acquainted with a lady, who fell in love with him ; be thought i t better to many her, and she consented ; he, kovrever, found m a afterwards, that his wife was the wife of another man, and now b e wished that the first marriage should be broken, in order that b e might he comfortable—(Laughter).

Antonio replied that they were not, but he supposed that in England the laws were different, for in Italy he had seen the wives of Englishmen lining with their second husbands instead of their lint—(Laughter). The Italian was seat to the Compter until inquiry should be made. GUILDHALL. The driver of a hackney coach appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, upon a summons, to answer the complaint of Mr. Alderman At kins, for placing his coach within eight feet of another coach, on the said in Cheapsiae, so that the worthy Alderman was pre vented from passing in his gig.—The defendant was lined Ss. and costs. BOW-STREET. Mary Faint, who has for some time beam known as an utterer of base coin, was yesterday examined at this office, charged by Mr. Graham, a fruiterer in Covent Garden Market, with uttering t counterfeit dollar, and several counterfeit half-crowns, at his shop. The uttering was proved, and It was stated that she travelled with a man with whom she cohabited, from whom she received oak one piece of bad money, and when she had passed it she realised to him and obtained another. Sbe and her accomplice had adopted a system of uttering that almost bade defiance to detection, as abs always took care to have good money about her to chew the bad money if she was detected.—She was committed. • HATTONGARDEN. A gentleman applied for a warrant against one of these gentri, from whose statement it appeared that the establishment of their rival, the Omnibus, has not had the effect of increasing their stock of civility. The gentleman stated, that on Monday be got ounce of the Pad &upon stages at the Bank, and on alighting at Roston-square the driver demanded one shilling and sixpence as his fare. He refused to pay more than he had been accustomed to do, viz. one shilling ; upon which the driver abused him to the most scurrilous manner, called him a d—d blackguard, and seized him by the collar, pushed him of the pavement into the road. His conduct collected a mob of persons by whom applicant was jeered at, and told he wanted to bilk the coachman. Next morning, as be was coming to town, the fellow repeated his eamdset, and pointed him out to several persons as a Mik. The Magistrates granted a warrant. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young man of respectable appearance, named Zunis, was yes terdny placed at the bar, before J. E. Conant, Esq. charged with embezzlement, under the following circumstances : It appears that the prisoner was in the service of Mr. Withal Shirley, a victualler, residing at Stanweli, near Staines, and bad to convey two entire bones, belonging to that gentians's, round the country. About a month since he went out to collect some money due to his employer, and on Friday week he sent bogie the hone which he had taken with him, and a letter, dated from Kingston. informing him that be was going to Croydon and Dorking. The prosecutor thought this conduct very suspicions, and immediately after he was informed that the prisoner was in London, and sent °Dicers in pursuit of him, and after considerable trouble and ex.. pease be was apprehended at Banbury, in Oxfordshire, on Satur day, were he offered to sell a cottage which he owned, to make up the sum which he was indebted to the prosecutor, which was estimated at 371. Two cases were brought forward, doe for embossing W. 104. which be bad received from Mr. Murral, of Walton-arta-Thames, and a small sum which be had received from Mr. &inky, of East Musilsey.—He was fully commked for trial. ANOTHER SPECVLATION.A company ban been established for the Navigation of the Irish canals and rivers by steam vessels, and It offers to bring coeds from Limerick, Clare, and the very extreetitks of Ireland to Liverpool. It is also highly probable that is a few months cattle will be conveyed by loco motive steam-engines to hiauchesfrr front Liveepool, and thin we shad see live cattle brought, without say dillicuky or loss, in the space of three or four days at the utmost, from the estrondties of Ireland to the heart of Ragland, by the sole gamy of steam. This rapid intercourse betwixt the two countries will make. in a few years, the difference of a century in the improvement of the sinter lobed. At his Majesty's Palace, yesterday, a labourer named Morgan Thomas, fell from a scaffolding 30 feet high, and was so severely injured that his kite is despaired of. He was carried to Westminster Hospital. The town of Tonbridge and its vicinity have been thrown into alarm, in consequence of a murder having been committed upon an elderly female, who resides in Tonbridge. The poor woman is about 55 years of age, 1 and resided in a small cottage near the turnpike, and immediately opposite the Angel public-house. She let s portion of her cottage to two navigators, who were em ployed with other men in deepening and widening the Medway. These two men returned home on Saturday night. One of them, being in an ill state of health, took some medicine, and went to bed at an early hour, and the other retired to rest a short time afterwards. About four o'clock the following morning, the sick man heard his fellow workman get up and go down stairs, where he was engaged for some time. This circumstance, however, did not make any impression upon him, and he did not suppose that the man was en gaged in committing murder. In the morning, when some of the neighbours entered the house, the door of which they found open, they discovered the unfortunate woman lying on the floor of her room quite dead. A sur geon was immediately sent for, and he discovered that she had been suffocated by the hand of the'ruffian who had grasped her throat. The monster who had committed the murder remained in the town until the body was dis covered, when he made a hasty retreat, but was taken soon afterwards at East Grinsteitd.
