This was sn action by as Executrix to recover goods of the testator wider the following circumstances, stated by Mr. Brougham. The late Walter %Vuolley was a brass. founder, residing in Clerkenwell; Clark, one of the Defeo. dant., woo • beg-dresser in the game neighbourhood ; the other Defendants, father and son, are brokers. Clark was intimate with iVoolley, who made a will, in which be ap. pointed Clark executor, nod lodged the will iu his hands; hut afterwards learning that Clank was intermedilling with hi• affair*, and atiannsing the office of executor before his demise, he became dissatisfied, and sent to Clark to deliver up the will, baying Omitted hie mind, but Clark refused to gibe it up, eniseeiving that he had • sort of lien on it for 2/. or V. which be pretended Woolley owed him, After various it. monde and referrals, Windley, to avoid litigation on so novel a subject as •n excreter disputing the will of its testator in the lifetime of the latter, made another will, by whir+ he appeiated his wife (the present Plaintiff) sole executrix. Shortly after the making of this second will Woolley died. Clark lied notice given him of Woolley's Welsher's to make the second will, and he knew that tills, actually made, fora espy was read to him; Immediately un Wvlleyl death Clark proceeded to act under the first will, soil obtained • probate, and putting the other Defendasts tato piressmion, sold the whole ringworm' and stock in trade. Mrs. Woolley endeavoured to stop their pfoceeditors by giving 'notice to the Asietioneers but they proceeded at thei r peril. Th e Plai n tiff had proce eded regu larly and et/stained • probate, revenant that PreyttaeatY Po* eared by Clark. He (Mr. Brougham) understood that she defence intended to be set up was, that the wrong was done duriorr the existence of the first probate, and therefore the action could nut be maintained is its present form. He should satisfy his Lordship and the Jury that that probate hslag fraudulently obtained (the party tiering outlet of the second will), he should be entitled to a verdict foe the valve of She property sold. Witnesses were then called who proved the case for the PLalatiff, though it appeared rather doubtful if Kelly, sea. was touched by it. Mr. NOLAN for the Defendants, contended that as to two of the Defen dants, the Kellys, they were completely jus tified in arches coder the authority of a probate regularly obtained, and drones that could not so folly apply to Clark, yet be could only be cousidered as executor de son tort, sod he was prepared to @hew a due application of the newts. The Oder Jetties thought, iu point of law, that could be no jumificatiois of Clark. Mr. NOL. then went to the Jerry on the evidence, as It related to Kelly, sec. who, he contended, was not sieves have taken party the transaction. The two probates were put is. and read.

OPINION OF THE JUDGES. While the Jury were out consulting on their verdict in the above ease, Nowell Wilkinson and Joseph Mairden were placed at the bar. The Prisoners were convicted et the last Sessions of steal ing a quantity of nut comics, the property of William Marsh. It appeared that William Marsden, the brother of the Prisoner, employed a person named Cooper, to remove a gawky of wax cumin belonging to him, (rum the Ducks to a ship in the river for exportation. Cooper employed William Marsh, a lighterman, to ship It; and Marsh, who was obliged to give his bond to the Customs for its being ex ported, employed the two Prisoners, who were in the habit of working in lighters, to take it from the wharf to the ship. The Prisoners received the max comic• from the warehouse in which it was deposited iu the Docks, and put it board a lighter, from which they landed it at • wharf which bad been hired for the purpose,and there exchanged the nux comics fur a quantity of cinders, as►es, Ste. which we►e s►ipped in place •f' it ; and the consequence of the transaction was, that the revenue was defrauded of the amount of the duty on the MIX comic•. William Marsden, the o►iginal proprietor, mid iu ordinary lartgnage the real sooner of the one vomits, con. cursed in, and was in reality, the comewer of sad gainer by aloe fraud. Upon this case two points were reserved for the cossiderm Iwo of the Jodie*: first, whether, the property being only .temponelly vested in William Marsh, but really belonging to Marsdru, who roacurred is their fraudulent re !novel, this transaction could be considered as a larceny ? in other words, whether the fraudulent and illegal removal of property, in the lawful temporary possession of a third party, with the concurrence of the real mew, can be con sidered as • felony ? The secoud point war, whether this transaction could be considered as • larceny, the intent being sot so much to cheat and defraud Wm. Marsh as to cheat nod defraud the Upon these points the twelve Judges had consulted, and Mr. Justice Hayti/ now proceeded In deliver the opinion of the majority, which was, that the Pt isomers in this case lead been properly found guilty of stealing the property of Wiu. Marsh. sad consequeatly of larceny. The grounds of dist *Moo were shortly these: It was considered a person may have a temporary and special ownership iu property in trusted to hr charge, diatiott front lite general ownership of the resole to whets it really beluags, and by whom et is consigned to bile. Thus A may be the general owner of nit wide, and B, to whom lie has given it its charge fur any purpose, may be the special owner fur the time being. Aud if A, the general owner, meal, ur concur in the stealing of that article from the possession of B, that is • rubbery, ur larceny. And, in the present case, the animate object being to defraud the ►evenue, did not Miler the character of the intermediate act. The Prisoners, therefore, weer pronounced to have been properly couvicted, and will receive their acts trace at the conclussou of the present Fissions.

The string, of the reticule . giving way, the other four ran away, but Mr. Johnson, with his walking atick, struck the Primmer a violent blow or the bead, which caroled him to reel against the wall, and thea secured him.
