We rocania. moved for an injunction to re strain the defendant from transferring stork to an a ssss wit exceeding 39,1)1101/. The Learned Counsel read several affidavits in support of his motion, from which it appeared, that the defendant was a clerk in Hammersley's banking haute; that, from his situa that, lie hail an opp trtunity, some years ago, of knowing, that an elderly widow woman, named Anne Ilialson, hull a considerable quantity of stock pur chase.' from time to time in her own name; from which knowledge he was induced to make her ac quaintance. Having succeeded in doing so, and baying shortly after gained a great influence over her, it appeared that she had the whole of her stork trans ferred it, tt.e joint names of herself and the defendant, and at the saint' time she exeewed a deed of gift in favour of the defendant, of some portion of the stork. Anne 'Nikon died in IS In, leaving a will, in which the whole of her personal property was bequeathed to the defendant : the defendant had since obtained probat of the v ill, without citing any of the testatrix's relations, and this motion was now made in their be half, they alleging that the will, as well as the deed of gift. wer e obtained by what in this Court is termal Irma:: iu other words, by a series of attentioo:s and luanagati.eat un the part of the defendant, sod by the ancendancy which lie obtained over the said Anne Hn,kon. In orilar to show that she was a person easy to I.e male the object of such designs, several circumstances were sale.' in the affidavits by pens ins who hatl !wen • intimately Arauainted with her charac ter and habits of :ifs. Fram these affidavits it ap peared, that 0.,11 ittthoti died, she was nearly eighty years ..f nee: was of very obscure origin, hatisig. been in her ea:ly years in a menial situation. She had no adoration, save what few les sons she had in the school of her parish. From a at she became house!, eper to her late husband, who was first .a waiter. anti afterwards proprietor of the Tatched-house I ;teem% hen lie married her. liiith being at 11 eyltritlise en a sisit with same relations in the year Int* it haispoted that a violent hurricane occurred, on which uccasi •n several person; were killed by Ilia li a lituing. Tla!s circumstance affected &olio the parties extremely. Shortly attar the bus hand died, leaving all his personal property to his widow, anal she who before that time had never evineetl a strata,: intellect, be. time after that period still weaktr in her mind, hildish in her 11111111e/S, and, though so wealthy.. was parsimonious to the last sieg.ee. In this slate of mind she lived fur several years in a house at Twit-lieu. am, where she was when the di...valiant became a..quaittied with her. Ile Made her repeated t isits, and at I, di prevailed upon her to return to town to Suffolk-a i vet, where he obtained lodaines for lirr. When site t.as preparing to leave Twickenham, she cautioned a solitary servant girl., whom she entplioyed, nut to tell, any wrsuu that she wis turning to town: awl the report it Twickenham was, that she was coming to town to he married. She came to town, and resided in Suffolk-street, n here her relations, as soon as they discovered her abode, naturally ratite now and then to inquire ifter her health. 1 hey were often refus,-1 admittance to bar, and they had reaaten to believe that she was here en tirely under the contruul of ;he defeudant. Some times, however, they were allowed to see her, and en one of these occasion', she complained of her widow hood, and said, " I shall not be lungs She She was asked to explain what she meant, and she added, " I shall he soon married to that lientleinan," meaning the defendant, who had just left the nano--" he is a nice man." The affidavits stated, that Acne Hudson, after she eame to Stiffolk-street, niederwent a to:al change in the article of 'tress. She, whose usual elatites before that time were not worth live shillings, after that time sets arrayed iu nothing but muslin!' and silks, and embroidered satins. liar time she ge nerally passed in playing with her gold watch, and loathing at it—in admiring her line dresses in a large mirror, which was placed for her innireuience in the room, or in tying together bunches of floWers in all kinds of figures, fixing them to her head, and then separating them again. Sometimes the defendant would bring her 1 pieces of gold coin, and would amuse her with throwing them into her lap ; she would put them into her pocket ; he would pretend to steal them out again. and show them to her, laugh ing. He generally called her his " dear Slaninia." When lie came in lie would kiss her ; and when they parted at night he would kiss her also. Is short, the affidavits imputed to the defendant evert species of conduct which could he supposed to humour an old lady, and to increase the influence which, by his assi duities, lie first mai/tired. Upon these grounds, it was submitted that there was a ease f or the insirference of 1 the Court in this stage, in order to seenre.the money, which, if transferred, the defendant might be after-1 wards called upon to refund. It was stated, for the defendant, that a complete negative would be . given to the imputations made against him ; that Anne Hudson had, in truth, the benefit of the hest advice ; that she had a great regard for the defendant, and if she excluded her relations from her will, it was because she disliked them. At present Counsel had not inidructions to go further than to declare, that such a negative would be given in the answer to this motion if the injunction should be granted. The Lunn CHANCELLOR said, that this appeared to be a mixed cue of deed of gift and will. lie wished very much that the defendant would be able to ex plain the transaction of having the stuck transferred in the joint names of this old Lady and himself. He thought the case required explanation, and "' he granted the injunction. IN THE 1111ITTRA OF FILM LATR DM( OF THOMAS P. monscostane. The bean eftANCItt.LOR observed, he ILA exa mined, with the greatest attention, the calculation which hid breh handed to kiln, as to the amount of the loud in Coors, and the amount of the legacies; and if he granted what was asked by the legatees, it wool only lease the nun of 124,b04W. in Uoort, which b thought would be too little as a prodsitia to ma tether claims • that might he made. He was sorry to be obliged to say this, but he could not help it. Mr. Mvansv said, perhaps his Lordship would give the le•atres something short of what they asked. The Loan eIf•IICELLOR:•—" Certainiy there can be no objection to that. Give me a calculation on Satur day of a tenth of their demand instead of a fifth, and I will order it to be paid out of Court to the legatees; but I would not be justified in ordering the fifth they ask fur." Further consideration postponed. COURT OF EXCISE, JULY W. CAUTION TO DEALERS IX BEER.

The conntrynien said, they bid tried a sample at the defendant's honse, which was good, and that th ey bought. according as they thought, even above thew * . pie, the defendant's wife having advised thew net 1 , knock off the heads of the casks, as she had no coop e , at hand, and having assured then, that the casks toe . tamed superior pork. Upon going into a inarket.pi aa in the country, and opening the casks, the Mayor aid officers came . down upon them, and finding that tlie po r k was stinking, said they would have it burned if it an exposed for sale. The pork at last became so bad, n it the authorities were obliged to dispose of it in tha w ner alluded to. The defendant, against whom a very strong raj*, had been entertained, in consequence of this report, d, dared that the pork he bad sold to the claimants o le o the sante shipment with pork which he had sold at dk. the linndred to other customers, and that it had b e ,,, re-pickled a few days before the sale.

The Lorin 3lavoa said, this case would probahlr set right a great many, with respect to picklit.g pork;if it produced no other advantage. Two brothers, named Mark and Afteoine,were charred on Wednesday, at the Town-hall, Southwark, with uttim in a considerable number of forged notes.
