LMIGINIMNIAL 1 LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DA Y. ) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-SWILL V. SWILL. The further hearing of this part heard appeal was re sumed this morning. This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, holding that the testator's real estate was chargeable with two legacies of £2OO, to his cousins John and Mary Swill. And the question raised was whether under the words "real estate" the testator meant and intended to pass his freehold and leasehold estates. The real estate was sold far £527, but was not sufficient to pay debts and legacies ; it was therefore necessary to come upon his personal estate for payment. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both sides the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT-GIBSON V. GA.RNETT. His Honour said—The question here is whether, in taking the accounts of the administration of the estate of the late Mr. Walsh, who died in 1836, £2BO should be held due to his executor, John Acton, who died in 1853. His executors alleged that Acton paid this sum to Walsh, and that Walsh deposited the title-deeds of his property with him as ;security for repayment. His Honour considered the evidence very defective on this point, and on looking to his chief clerk's certificate on taking accounts, and examin ing the bill transactions between the parties, came to the conclusion that this sum of £2BO was chargeable against the executor, thereby inverting the demand from £2AO against Walsh's estate to £l2 interest and costs against Acton's estate, and decreed accordingly. The case stands over till Friday, to take an account of interest, &c. JUDGMENT.--IN RE WOODARD. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—On perusal of the affidavits in this case lam left very much in the situation of being without an answer. The answer that the solicitor makes is all upon one side ; the proceedings taken are all upon one side ; and this lady is left without assistance on the other. I cannot say that there is such payment of the bill of costs as amounts to a bar to her to object to payment of this claim. His Honour observed that if a special order was required, special objections should be stated in the petition to particular items in the account. His Honour said upon the evidence produced he could not alter the common order to tax the accounts. His Honour de clined to make any order on the petition, and refused the motion, with costs. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswcll, Mr. Baron Watson, Mr. Justice Hill, and a Special Jury.) ALLEN V. ALLEN AND D'ARCY. In this case a suit was instituted by Mr. Allen against his wife for a divorce, by reason of her adultery with the co-respondent. Mrs. Allen had put in an answer contain ing a denial of the charge, and a recriminating plea that her husband had also committed adultery. She also charged him with cruelty, and alleged that the adultery on her part, if any, had been ccnnived at and condoned by the petitioner. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Dr. Deane, Q.C., Dr. Wambey, Mr. T. Clark, Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the parties before the Court. The co-respondent,. Mr. D'Arcy, had not put in any answer. The parties were married about seven years ago, Mr. Allen being a trunk-maker and military outfitter in the Strand, and there were three children, the result of the marriage. Dr. Deane, Q.C., opened the case for the petitioner, and said the first question the jury would have to consider would be whether the respondent had committed adultery with some person unknown, on the 31st of August, 1858, at the Gloucester Hotel, Piccadilly. He should be in a condition to prove that Mr. and Mrs. Allen in August, 1858, were re siding for some time at Brighton, and that Mrs. Allen, on the 31st of that month came up to town, and dined with a man at the Gloucester Hotel ; that the parties stayed there until half-past nine o'clock, when they went away together in a cab, saying they were going to the Brighton station, and that at half-past ten they returned, and slept at the hotel, being seen by ono witness in the same bedroom, the man in bed, and the lady having come to the door to take in some soda water. In consequence of the unex pected absence of Mrs. Allen from • Brighton, her husband caused inquiries to be made, and employed a person named Lewis, who, on the 3d or 4th of September, succeeded in tracing her to the hotel in 'eves tion. Having obtained that information, the waiter went down to Brighton, and identified Mrs. Allen, and certain disclosures having taken place ott the 6th, the petitioner left his wife, and had never lived with her since. William Cook, the waiter at the Gloucester Hotel, re membered a lady and gentleman coming to the house, on the 31st of August. They inquiredfor a sitting-room, and dined there. They then left, telling the cabman to drive to the London-bridge station, but returned about half-past ten, and asked if they eould have a bed. They engaged a bed-room' and sitting-room, and he afterwards served them with a bottle of champagne. He had since seen the lady at Brighton, but not the gentleman, and she had been pointed out to him as Mrs. Allen. Cross-examined —When the parties returned to the hotel they said they had been too late for the train. Lewis had spoken to him about the matter ; and there was another gentleman with Lewis, whom he had afterwards seen at Brighton. He could not say whether it was Boxell. Tho chambermaid at the hotel gave corroboration of the evidence, but stated further that sho showed the lady into the bedroom, and the gentleman into the sitting-room. She took up some brandy and soda-water in the morning, and saw the gentleman lying on the bed with his clothes on. The witness then corrected herself, and said that was a mistake, the gentleman was in the bed, and undressed. She had seen Mrs. Allen on a subsequent occasion, when that lady said the matter would be brought before the Court, and if witness stated the gentleman was in the bed she (the respondent) would be a ruined woman,and at the same time she contended the person was outside the bed, with his trousers on. On cross - examination she said she certainly dropped the words that he was dressed, but she did not wish to state what was false, and therefore corrected the statement. No other person slept on the same floor of the hotel on the night in question ; in fact, the brokers were in. (A laugh.) The hotel had since been pulled down. Some additional testimony having been gone through, the case of Mr. Allen was closed. Mr. M. Chambers addressed the jury on behalf of the respondent, Mr s . Allen, and proceeded to draw attention to the peculiar features developed in the course of the trial. He said the respondent had been a faithful and devoted wife for some years, the mother of three children, and now she was charged with an offence of the gravest character, which he would prove by several witnesses was perfectly unfounded. The learned gentleman said the grand object sought to be ob tabled by the petitioner was the release from a wife of whom he had grown tired ; and in order to do so he was not de terred by any considerations for his unfortunate wife. As a means of obtaining his ends ho had accused the unfortu nate lady with adultery, which, it was alleged, was committed at the Gloucester Hotel, Piccadilly, on the 31st if August, 1858, with a person who went by the name of d'Arcy. To that accusation the lady answered that she had not committed the offence imputed to her ; that her husband connived at her misconduct, that he had condoned it, and that he had been guilty of cruelty and adultery. He denied all the charges against him except that of adultery, to which he had pleaded condonation. Mrs. Allen said, in support of the alleged connivance, that Mr. Allen had placed her in a situation of peril, and for all that had followed he was mainly and entirely responsible. The learned gentleman then at great length proceeded to dis sect the evidence adduced on behalf of the petitioner, and said ho felt certain he should be able to convince the jury that the petition ought to be dismissed. The case is not at all likely to be concluded to-day, as there aro about 26 witnesses to be examined on the part of Mrs. Allen. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TBIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. DESTITUTION.—A young woman named Sarah Ann Slater was placed at tho bar this morning charged with begging. An officer of the Mendecity Society said—This morning I saw the prisoner sitting on the steps before St. Martin's Church with a paper pinned on her breast, on which was written the following words :—" Your charity to Mrs. —'s maid—[here follows the address of the lady].—Can you give as. 6d. towards clothing, food, and lodging to a poor servant out of place.—Sarah Ann Slater." I saw two or three persons go up to her and give her money. I went up and told her I was surprised to see a person so respectably dressed begging. I said she must go away. She refused, and finding persuasion useless, I attempted to bring her to the station-house ; but she resisted so violently, that I was compelled to get the assistance of a police-constable be fore I could do so. Besides the respectable clothing she had on, she had a cloth cloak over her arm and an umbrella. On searching her another paper similar to the above was found in her pocket. Mr. Henri—What have you to say to the charge of begging ? Slater—l am a servant out of place, and in want of food, clothing, and shelter. I had no other means in the world of getting it except from the charity of the passers by. I have ham about two years in London, but for the last four months I have had nothing to do. I have during part of the time I have been here maintained myself by working at millinery and cloakmaking, but it is now the slack time, and I can obtain nothing to do. I have applied to and been relieved by the Rev. Mr. Dale, and I have also applied to various other persons in the parish, but could obtain no z elief. Mr. Henry—Where do you live ? Slater—At 9, Sidmouth-place, Gray's-inn-road, but lam in arrears for rent, and have been refused shelter until I can pay for it. Mr. Henry—l don't think she appears to be a profes sional beggar. Officer—l don't know her, your worship. I asked her if she had applied to the parish for relief, and she told me she had done so to several gentlemen, but I said that was not the proper way to obtain relief. Mr. Henry—You say you are a servant out of place ; have you a character ? Slater—Yes, sir; but it is locked up in my box along with my clothing at a lodging I had in Liverpool-street. I have also several very good recommendations there also. I have, in consequence of an injury I received to my ancle, been to an extent precluded from seeking. for a situation, as it frequently becomes so swollen as to prevent me walking. Mr. Henry—There are several institutions where you could have obtained shelter if you had applied. Have you been to the institution in Soho ? Slater—No, Sir. Mr. Henry—lf you feel disposed to go there you will be received and means taken to get you a situation, which will not be much difficulty, as you appear to be a person possessed of intelligence. At all events you must not beg in the streets. Slater—l know it, but what am Ito do ? I have no other means of getting anything to eat. if I had a situation offered to me, I have no clothes to take with me. I could not go in my present distressed state. I will go to the in stitution you have named, sir. Mr. Henry—Very well. I will send a message by the officer, which I think will secure your admission, where means will be taken to get you a situation. The poor woman thanked the worthy magistrate and left the court in company with the officer. MARLBOROUGH STREET. " A VERY QUIET WomlN."—Ann Berland, a tall, elderly female, who, during the hearing of the case, spoke in a very loud tone, and displayed great volubility of speech, was charged on a warrant with using abusive and insulting language towards another elderly female, named Ann Howard. The complainant having proved her case, stating that the defendant was in the habit of coming to the place where she resided and abusing her, Mr. Beadon asked the defendant what she had to say ? Defendant—Oh, 4 l only use the lightest language. I certainly did say " I'd knock her down," but that - Was only a little boast, I can assure you. (Laughter.) Mr. Beadon said she must not annoy the complainant. The Defendant—Oh, I'm not at all violent. I'm a very quiet woman—only a little blusterous like ; and as for abuse, why, I'm the daughter of a very refined woman indeed. (Laughter.) Tho complainant said she had been left executrix to her aunt's will, and she thought she had £2OO of her money, but she had not. The defendant also struck her. Defendant—l only gave her just a pat. I'm a stay maker, and I must go to the house, as I carry on my busi ness there. The fact is, they abuse me, and I abuse thom ; but I speak rather loud, I dare say. But I'm what you may call a quiet woman. Mr. Beadon, having some misgiving as to the latter part of the defendant's assertion, ordered her to enter into her own recognisance in the sum of £lO to keep the peace to wards the complainant. THAMES. AN UNFAITHFUL STEWARD.—John Wells, a man of colour, the steward of the ship Wingfield Scott, lying in the East India Export Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing 2lbs. of sugar, lilb. of coffee, and a ilb. of tea. Thomas Chandler, a constable in the employ of the East and West India Dock Company, said that yesterday even ing at seven o'clock the prisoner came up to the gate of the East India Export Dock, and was about to pass out. The bulky state of the prisoner's pockets attracted his attention, and he stopped him and asked him what he had about him. The prisoner answered " Nothing." He searched him, and found upon him 21b. of: sugar, 111 b. of coffee, and of tea. He asked the prisoner where he obtained the pro perty, to which he replied that he brought it into tho dock from a grocer's shop. He took the prisoner into custody, and he then admitted he took the tea, coffee, and sugar out of the ship Wingfield Scott. Mr. Crosby, mate of the Wingfield Scott, said that the stores produced belonged to the ship, and the prisoner had no right to take them. The prisoner was shipped as steward at St. Andrew's, New Brunswick. Mr. Yardley—Does he bear a good character? Mr. Crosby—No, sir ; he is a very great liar. Tke prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Yardley sen- Lenced him to eight days' imprisonment and hard labour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.

The Madrid journals of the 28th ult. publish the detailed official report of the landing of the Ist corps d'armee at Ceuta, under General Echague, and of the first engagement which took place there; but it adds nothing to what is already known. The wound which that general received will, it appears, cause the loss of the first joint of the forefinger of the right hand. He had taken from Ceuta 500 convicts to be employed iu constructing earthworks and performing the labo rious operations of the camp ; and the men were working with great readiness. A steamer, with 48 wounded (30 of them officers) and 110 sick, had arrived at Malaga. ORDENT..kRY SUAB ,ES AND STOCKS. Share( Railways. 12.10 I Amberg., Nottinf.);.

The shares of the Great Ship Company continue to decline, and there are rumours that some of the proprietors contemplate instituting proceedings in equity, or through the Board o f T ra d e, to obtain a full insight into its past management. Subjoined are communications from persons interested " Sir,—A report has been published in the Times on the state of the hull of the Great Eastern. I have reason to believe a similar report, equally unsatisfactory, as to the state of the engines, has been furnished. Ought not this also to be made public ? " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. H." " Nov. 28. " Sir,—The prospects of the shareholders in the Great Ship Company seem hopeless enough, but probably those of the original shareholders in the Great Eastern are worse still. " I am one of those who have paid up the calls on the shares allotted to me, and have not exchanged into the new company —that is, I have not sold my £2O shares for an equal number valued at £2los. in the new company. On calling a few day s ago a t th e o ffi ce in King Wlliam-street I found six clerks in the outer office engaged in the most trivial em ployments, such as pasting cheuks and receipts into guard books, &c., while there was no appearance of any real busi ness. The secretary informed me that the company in which I held shares had no longer an existence, and that he could give me no sort of information as to the recovery of one single farthing of the £4OO which I had paid. "Without indulging in any strong expressions or troubling you with my own opinions in the matter, I ven ture to suggest that this is peculiarly a case in which somo investigation and exposure are necessary. lam sure if the Times will look into the subject you will merit the thanks of many who are similarly victims with myself . : " A GREAT EASTERN SHAREHOLDER." 2111 S DAY'S MARKETS.

All writers acknow ledge its difficulty, and attribute it to the " unpo pulerity of the service ;" but the cause of that unpopularity is not so well known. Some attribute it to one thing and some to another, some are pretty near the truth, but most are wide of the mark. Strictness of discipline, overbearing and tyranni cal conduct on the part of the officers, is more than hinted at as the great cause. This, however, is a great mistake, and it is only right that the public should not be misled, and that the officers should not be belied. Officers nowadays ;re neither tyrannical nor overbearing, and when the service permits are as glad to sec their men enjoying themselves; as they are keen for enjoyment themselves; but it is this vexed question, " when the service per mits," on which the difficulties of both men and officers hitch—this it is that brings on the officers a heavy load of odium which they do not deserve. But Jack is not very far-seeing nor very discrimi nating. He sees only the officers who command him, and he receives all grievances through them. Within the last few weeks we have had a gross case of mutiny on board a line-of-battle ship in Portsmouth harbour, and on reading the details we find that the crew asked leave, and reasonably enough, one would suppose. We find also that Captains Baillie and Josling (than whom two more kind-hearted men never lived) treated their men on this occasion with their usual kindness and con sideration and forwarded their request; but the service, it seems, would not permit that all should go, even though they had been years from their homes, their families and friends, whom they saw for the first time that day ; half were allowed to go and half were to stop ; then came a mutiny and a row, which no one can defend; but it must be remembered that Jack has a large heart, and but a poor head ; it was hard that there should be a general holyday,and yet that he should be denied the pleasure which all others enjoyed— of going home with his friends. This, too, after his long absence. It becomes us now to inquire whether he was fairly dealt with in being refused, and whether there was anything unreasonable in the request for leave. The officers, Captains Baillie and Josling, saw nothing unreasonable in it, for they forwaided the request. Nevertheless, it was refused,•or par tially refused. Why, is best known tg. the gallant old officer who refused, who doubtless has given a most satisfactory reason to their lordships. Still, with the exception of a small guard, every man in that ship might have gone on shore and enjoyed himself without detriment to the rervice. The ship was alongside the jetty, moored head and stern, and far better secured than many vessels that had no men on board. But the men were kept on board, and the consequences we have seen. Was it so very - wonderful there was a row ? .The day the request was tendered was a holyday in the yard, the next day (Saturday) little work could have been done, and on the next Sunday it would have been positively cruel and vexatious to keep these men from their families. Captains Baillie and josling cannot be blamed for the disturbance which occurred on board the Princess Royal. They were neither tyrannical nor overbearing, and did all they could for the comfort of their men. The refusal of leave must have been most vexatious to men who had been so long away. This is no isolated case, and we have heard of it at last. It is not the officers who immediately , command the men who make the service unpopu lar, but those old heads of departments, who are only heard of on such unfortunate occasions as the present. Let no man wonder, for the future, that the service is unpopular or prate about the difficulty of getting men. While we have admirals afloat who treat men like chil dren, so long will this difficulty remain. But, on the other hand, let the mutineers be punished ; mete out jestice to them, and punish them as they de serve ; but, for God's sake, let us have a change, let us learn to treat our sailors as our fellow crea tures, and give them credit for the ordinary feel ings of our nature.—l remain, Sir, yours, Brighton, Dec. 1. A SAILOR. Sir,—Among all the numerous suggestions for the more effectual manning of the Royal Navy with which your columns have recently been filled, I have looked in vain for one that boldly grapples with the chief cause of discontent. I have no hesitation in expressing my conviction that punishment by the lash has been, is, and will be, as long as it continues, the main obstacle to success in securing the services of good seamen ; nor have I any hesitation in adding the expression of my belief that the time has now arrived when both humanity and policy dictate the wisdom of a change ; and if it be necessary to make daily ap peals to the patriotism of the maritime population of Great Britain, and to bid high for willing hands and hearts, we must consign to oblivion a method of punishment so little suited to the encou ragement of the good, so hopelessly useless in the reformation of the bad. I have the honour to be your most obedient ser vant, S. T. CARNEGIE, Captain R.N. London, Dec. 1. Sir,—As the evidence now stands before the public, two things are made manifest: The first is that there was a mutiny on the part of the men ; the second, that this mutiny was caused by punish ing innocent men for the fault of guilty men. It is admitted that the liberty men who had reached the dockyard gates, where their wives and sweet hearts were waiting for them, were in no degree implicated in the insubordination evinced by that portion of the crew which had not obtained leave ; but, on being recalled to the ship without having committed any offence, their sense the injustice done them appears to have made them take the lead in the disturbances on board. They have been tried by a jury of captains, assisted by a legal ad viser ; while, on the face of the evidence, given in your columns, it does not appear that the de fendants were allowed legal assistance in cross examining the various witnesses against them- Mutiny is so grave an affence that I do not seek to palliate it ; but I do think that the welfare of our navy demands nothing like injustice should be tolerated towards our seamen. I read in to-day's paper that iu one of our courts of law a jury was sworn to try two men for assault ing and intimidating Messrs. Trollope's workmen. On the jury being sworn, one of them got up and said to the judge : " My lord, I object to try these men." " Why ?" " Because I am a master builder." " It is very honourable of you to have mentioned the fact. I will take care that when the trial comes one you shall be excused." There has been no announcement of any public inquiry into the conduct of the Admiral and the Captain of the Princess Royal for thus punishing the innocent for the fault of the guilty. _ Meantime, the seamen of the Princess Royal are dealt with as severely •as the workmen of London out on strike would probably have been dealt with had they been tried in the heat of the late strike by a jury of master builders. _ _ Surely this is not the way to make the naval ser vice popular with intelligent and reasoning men ! Punish mutineers with severity and publicity ; but, at the same time, punish with increased severity and publicity the officers whose want of discretion engenders mutiny—the higher their rank the more signal their punishment— ofterwise our ships will not be easily /manned. H. Dec. 1. SUDDEN DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN AT EUSTON STATION.—A most lamentable instance of sudden death occurred at the London terminus of the North-Western Railway on Thursday afternoon. Mr. J. Corsbie, a medical man residing at York, had in consequence of the delicat e state of his health como to town for the purpose of consulting an eminent London physician. lie went in a cab in company with his nephew to the station, with a view of returning to York by the afternoon train. On getting out of the cab he complained of feeling unusually ill, and sat down in the waiting-room. Shortly after, the nephew observing a pecu liar change in his appearance, Mr. Skelding, of Euston square, the surgeon to the company, was sent for, but the unfortunate man expired shortly after his arrival. Mr. Corsbie was about 60 years of age, and it is believed that, the heart being diseased, the excitement of the journey and its object was the cause of death. REMARKABLE CASE OF SUDDEN DEATII.—The well .known adage, " In the midst of life we are in death," was exemplified in a very melancholy and striking manner at Lambley on Sunday last, by the sudden demise of the Rev. Halstead Elwin Cobden Cobden, the respected rector of that parish. The rev, gentleman on the morning of that day delivered a very forcible and impressive discourse in the parish churcd on sudden death, and the wisdom of being prepared for that event whenever it might happen, and announced his intention of preaching a funeral sermon in the evening, on the death of one of his parishioners,whe had expired very suddenly a few days previously. Little, it is to be presumed, did the reverend gentleman anticipate that More evening arrived he should be no more, for he at that time was, to all outward appearance , in his usual state of health. After performing the morning service he partook of a hearty dinner, and did not complain of being unwell, until after three o'clock, when he said he felt a violent pain at his stomach. Mr. Osborne, surgeon, Epperstone, who fortunately happened to be in the village at th e ti me was called in, and administered remedies which had the effect of relieving the reverend gentleman of the pain, but after a short time it again returned. Deceased speedily be came insensible, 'and death ensued in the course of a few minutes.-21rottingltam Journal. NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL.
