COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-WYTIIES V. LABOUCILERE. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir Wm. Page Wood against the appellant. The plaintiff is a railway contractor at Highgate, and the defendants are the banking firm knoWu under the name of William Deacon and Company ; and the question raised is whether a bond for £30,000, granted by the late Mr. James M'Gregor, M.P., to the bank, was without valuable consideration, and void. Mr. Daniel, Q.C., resumed his argument in this part heard appeal this morning for the appellant. The hearing may extend over several days. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) lUDGMENT.-ERISTOWE V. WiIITEMORE. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, in delivering judgment, said that the question in this cue was as to the right of the plaintiff, Mr. Bristow°, who was master of the ship called the Cumberland, to have recouped certain sums of money which he advanced on the part of the owners for victualling and fitting up his ship as a transport ship, for the transport of Government troops, under two contracts — the one under seal, dated 19th April, 18.56, and the other a memorandum of agreement, dated 27th May, 1856, with the Admiralty agent, in which he described himself as master and owner of the vessel, and by which ho became bound to fit up and provision the ship and troops in terms of these contracts, and according to tender. The ship sailed, but before completing her voyage the owners became bankrupt, and the question raised was, whether the bankrupt's assignee or the master of the ship was entitled to the freight. The Lords of the Admiralty paid the money into court. The master contended that he had a lien on the freight for the money advanced by him for fitting up and for provisioning the ship and troops. The defendant claimed the freight as assignee for the bankrupt owners. His Honour, on the authority of decided cases, and in terms of the contract and charter-party, considered that the plaintiff was entitled to be repaid all the money ad vanced by him under contract for fitting up the ship for the transport of troops, 'and for provisioning the ship and troops during' the voyage, and for which the owners were liable. Plaintiff was also entitled to the costs of tho suit. His Honour made a declaration to that effect, and directed an account of the expenses GI be taken, and the costs to be taxed and paid, and, subject to these payments, the surplus funds to be handed over to the assignee of the owners or mortgagees. WHITECHAPEL COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Deputy Forster.) RIVAL TRADESMEN-SINGVLAR CASE-BIIEPrARD V. LYONS. Plaintiff is a labourer and defendant is a tailor, of White chapel-road. Plaintiff sought to recover the sum of 21s, for one pair of trousers taken by plaintiff from defendant's shop, and paid for, as alleged, in error. Plaintiff stated that on a certain day he went to a tailor's shop in Whitochapel, and was measured for a pair of trousers. A few days afterwards he went to defendant's shop and received a pair of trousers, for which he paid, and which he took away. A friend who was with him ex plained subsequently that he had gone to the wrong shop. Cross-examined by Mr. Beard for defendant--The shop he first went to had Lyons over the door, but was kept by one Franks. Ho did not take out this summons. Mr. Franks did. Mr. Beard—Yes ; he institutes these proceedings and is the rival tradesman. The trousers were not a good Mr. Beard then called his Honour's attention to defen dant's book, in which was entered an order, in the name of Sheppard, for one pair of trousers. Plaintiff had taken his trousers away, and never instituted proceedings until he conferred with Franks. Both houses had Lyons over the door. Defendant was then called, and proved that he had an order in his book for one pair of trousers, 21s. Plaintiff called a day or two after the delivery, and said they were a little too long, but they were according to the book mea surement. Plaintiff demanded his money back, and said he had been told to do so by Franks. [Upon this evidence Franks became very excited, and gesticulated in such a manner that he was ordered out of court]. His Honour then made au order for repayment of the 21s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TEIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING GOODS RY FALSE PRETENCES. - Henri Loncelet, a waiter at the Café Chantant, Leicester-square, was charged with another not in custody, with obtaining a quantity of lace, &c., of the value of £2O, from Mr. George Stevens, of 218, Regent-street, laceman. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that on the 6th December a man (not in custody) went to the shop of prosecutor, and representing that he was sent by Mr. B. Cohen, of Brighton, and 10, Sussex-gardens, ordered some dressing gowns and other articles to be sent, on. approbation.. The goods were sent as directed, by the porter 2 but brought back. The man afterwards called a n d said he was to take them on to Brighton. Ho did not give his name, but as Mrs. Cohen was a customer, he was allowed to take the goods. lid said young Mr. Cohen was in the habit of coming up and down every day, and would return what was not wanted. Inquiries were afterwards made at Sussex gardens, and it was then ascertained that the goods were never ordered. Achille Bonnel, assistant to Messrs. Marshall and Snel grove proved a man coming to their house and ordering goods to be sent to Mrs. Cohen, and that they were left by the porter. Diary Herricks, an " unfortunate," was called and proved being with the man now in custody, and seeing the goods mentioned, and also that the prisoner called on her and left with some of them in a bundle from a house in Castle-street. The prisoner said he was going to sell the goods, and the other man went with him. Sergeantßogers, who was engaged in the case with Ser geant Glass, said he went to the prisoner's lodgings in Panton-street, and in a boa found some of the goods identi fied, and that the prisoner said they were purchased in Paris. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate in a very able manner on behalf of the prisoner, contending that there was no charge against his client. The man not in custody had re presented to the prisoner that he was a dealer in such things, and as foreigners were in the habit of visiting the cafe there was good reason for his believing him. Remanded on bail. ROBBERY OF A VALUABLE GOLD WITCH, &C., DT SOLDIERS.—James Ransome and James Brown, two pri vates of the let battaliOn of the Coldstream Guards, were charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the value of £25, and a silver-mounted cane, the property of Mr. Jas. Pace, of the Soho-chambers, teacher of languages. The prosecutor said he was going along Oxford-street on the previous evening, when he accidentally fell in with the prisoners, and getting into c onversation with them about India, &c., ho afterwards wekt and had some ale at a pub • lie-house in the street, and then walked about with them, talking on different subjects, and when they got into Bury street, they suddenly seized him, and snatched away his watch called for the police, and they and chain and stick. lie very properly pursued and app re h en d e d th e p r isoners.

The prosecutor denied this, kid said they behaved like savages towards him, notwithstanding that he had shown them great kindness. Card, 38 C, proved being called to the spot and seeing the two prisoners running. They went down a place where there was no thoroughfare, and were taken into custody on returning. Inspector Webb said, at ;the station Ransome made a statement to him similar to what ho now said, and that the prosecutor gave him the watch. Mr. Beaden said he should remand the case that inquiries might be made. pretty good charac tersT,hwe e p re ris t o h n e e n rs r , e w m h s o nd a ed re . said to bed THAMES. SUSPECTED MURDER AT SEA.----TRA MYSTERY Ex- PLAINED.—Among the numerous applicants this morning a stalwart, weather -beaten sea man passed in among the crowd, and said he had some ver y Anportant information to furnish to the magistrate , w hich might save much trouble, and be the means undoubtedly of clearing up a mystery o f a s ingu lar nature. On being desired to ente r th e w i tness box he said his name was Francis Reeves, that he was in the employ of the Trinity House Corporation, and that he was at present living at No. 1, Titley-street, Poplar, New Town. He was one of the crew of the Princess, Channel light-ship, stationed off Herne Bay, and was two months on board and ono month on shore. On the 4th of Nov. last the body of a man, who he had no doubt was a maniac in his life-time, was seen floating past the vessel. The master of the light-ship gave immediate orders to get up some ballast to sink the body. The order was obeyed, and the ballast was tied up in a piece of old canvas and made fast to the body with a rope. Another canvas bag, also containing ballast, was made fast to the legs of the deceased, but that was not sufficient to sink it, and as the tide was drifting the body past the light vessel, the crew had no time to attach mere ballast to it, and the master gave orders to prick it. The body was pierced in several places, and drifted out towards the " deeps," and was soon lost to view. On the 15th of November he read in •a newspaper, left on board by a passing steam tug, an amoun t of the finding of a body at Westgate Bay, near Margate, and an account of the Coroner's inquest upon it. It was stated that the body presented marks of violence, was stabbed in several places, and two bags of canvas were attached to it. The jury had come to the conclusion, from the extraordinary circumstances connected with the case, that a foul murder had been 014141ittA and that the deceased had Mu war dered on board ship, and after he was repeatedly stabbed, bags of sand were attached to the body, and it was thrown overboard. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against some persons unknown, and the Coroner was in communi cation with the authorities in a foreign country, to which the ship from which the body is supposed to have been thrown had returned. He had no doubt whatever that the body, which drifted into Westgate Bay, was the same as that which floated past the light-ship, and to which bags of ballast were attached, and afterwards pierced. The holes made in the body with a harpoon were mistaken for stabs inflicted before death, and the description given of the body, on which the inquest was held, corresponded in every re spect with the body which was handled by the crew of the ' light-ship. He had thought it his duty to communicate with his worship directly he came on shore, that innocent persons might not be brought into trouble, and charged with a murder they had not committed. He believed the body had been identified as that of a North Sea pilot, who left a port in the north with a foreign ship which was wrecked, and the crew, or a portion thereof, saved. Mr. Yardley said he had road of the finding of a body in Westgate Bay, and that its peculiar appearance led to a suspicion that a murder had been committed at sea. The statement just made was of the highest importance, and the more publicity was given to it the bettor. The appli cant had done quite right in coming to that court and making the statement he had done, and ho hoped that if anybody was taken into custody on suspicion of murder, the Justice who would have to hear the case would be written to and informed of what had taken place. The applicant then retired, and said ho should communi cate by letter with the authorities at Margate. THE COMMON COUNCIL .I...ECTIONS. (THIS DAY.)

SPURGEON ON GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE.—At a tea meeting, held last week, the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon said : —He could not help remembering that God had honoured those present to be the first who assembled in great multi tudes in Exeter Hall. When he first heard of a clergy man of the Church of England preaching in Exeter Hall, his soul leaped within him, while he said, "Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace." They were going to build a large tabernacle, and he was sure they would have great success. (Cheers.) They had done a great deal—(hear, hear)—but they ought to have done a great deal more. (Laughter and cheers.) Some ought not to have done so much, but others had spared themselves, keeping back what was the Lord's, who made them the stewards of their wealth. They had not done badly in collecting £9,000, and buying a piece of land at Newington. In regard to Gothic designs for churches, he could never make himself heard in thew, and could easily we that the Deyil inYeutcd it, , ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—TAUNTON, DEC. 20. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE EXMOOR FOREST MURDER. Wm. Burgess, 43, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with the wilful murder of his daugh ter, Hannah Maria Burgess, a child six years of age,at Exmoor, on the 25th July. Mr. Karslake and Mr. King prosecuted, and Mr. Rotton and Mr. Murch defended the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. - Mr. Karslake stated the case against the prisoner, which was, in brief, that he had taken the child away with him mysteriously on the 25th July last, that it was not again seen alive, that portions of its clothing had been found destroyed by fire, and that the body of the child was afterwards discovered, with marks of violence upon it, at the bottom of a shaft of an old mine in the district where the ac cused had resided. Thomas Hughes proved pumping the water out of a deserted mine called Wheal Eliza on Dec. 2, and finding the body of a child at the bottom, en veloped in a bag and an oil macintosh, afterwards satisfied as having belonged to the accused. George Taylor, a police constable, described the clothes found on the body, whith were subsequently identified as having been worn by the deceased when taken away. He also produced some rem nants of child's clothing which had been burned, and which he had received from Sarah Marley on the 16th of August. Crescent Jeffs, superintendent of • the Somerset county police at Wivilscombe, proved apprehending the accused. He said—l got information, in conse• quence of which I went to Swansea, and found him working at the docks. When I saw him I called him aside and said, " Burgess, I want to speak to you concerning your youngest daughter." He turned very pale, and appeared much confused, and said, " It's all right." I then told him I should arrest him on suspicion of murdering his child. Prisoner—You never said no such thing till this day, you lying thief. I will go and die for it, and that will make my words true. Examination continued—He said, " I did it, and shall never be happy any more. My box that is at Exmoor I should like given to my daughter that is at Okeham ; the money that is in my pocket and my clothes you give to my boy. I would have saved you the trouble to come and fetch me by making away with myself. I ought to have done so before." He then said—" Have my other children seen it ?" I took him to Swansea and searched him, and found £2 6s. Old. I afterwards searched at his lodgings at Swansea, and found a pair of child's boots in his bag. On the 21st of August I produced these boots at Dulverton before the magistrates. The prisoner said, " They are a pair of boots bought for my boy." I showed those boots to Sarah Marley and Wm. Smith. Mr. John Collins, a surgeon, living at Dulverton, described the appearance of the body when found. There was a fracture of the skull caused by a blow with some heavy blunt instrument sufficient to cause death. There were other blows inflicted during life. Sarah Marley, wife of John Marley, said—l live at Falcon-cottage, opposite the Falcon House Inn, Exmoor. The prisoner came to lodge at my house in the beginning of June last. He had lodged with me before. He got his living by working at mines on Exmoor. Some little time after he came the last time he brought his little girl to live with him. It was three weeks before the 25th July when she came. She was about six years old. He was to pay me 2s. 6d. a week for her keep, The last time he paid. me he asked whether I should charge him the same for the child, and I said, " Yes." This was a few days before he took away the child. On the 24th July he told me to clean the child and get her ready to go away with him, as he was going to take her to his sister at Porlock.. I did so, and saw the child go to bed in his room that evening. I never saw the child alive after that Saturday night. When I got up next morning the prisoner and the child were gone. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he came back without the child. I asked him how his mother was, and he said, " Near the same : sh• will never be any better." A few days after I asked him if there were any children where his little said was ? and he said, " Yes, but she is not going to stay there long." He then asked me if I was going to charge him the same for the child, and I said, "Yes." He did not pay me what was due for the child when he took her away till a few days afterwards, and it was then he asked me whether I was going to charge the same for the child. He left my house altogether on the 10th of Aug. The witness identified the clothes found with the body. Win. Cockram—l work on Exmoor as a miner. In July last I lodged with the prisoner at the house of the last witness. He worked at Pickettstone's mine, on the surface, and I worked underground. The little girl slept in the same room and bed with me and the prisoner. On Sunday morning, the 25th of July, the prisoner getout of bedand asked what time it was. I looked at my watch, and told him it was half -past 3. It was getting light then. He then dressed himself. He looked out of window, and said it was raining. I asked him if he was going to take away the child in the rain, and he said, " Oh, yes, this is nothing." The little girl got up. I did not see her dress herself, but they both went away. I saw the prisoner again in the evening, about nine o'clock. He continued to live at the cottage till the 10th of August, and he then left. He had left off working on the Saturday before. I knew that he had a macintosh. I saw the macintosh which was found round the body of the child, and know it to be the prisoner's. I saw him wearing it on the 27th July, while he was at work. John Moore—l am a labourer, living at Porlock. I married the prisoner's sister. His mother, who is bedridden, lived with me. I remember the pri soner coining to my house on Sunday, the 25th of July, between 7 and 8 o'clock. It had been a wet morning. He was very wet when he came. He stopped about three-quarters of an hour, and left after breakfasting with me. There was no one with him. I had never seen his little girl. I saw the prisoner about three weeks or a month before that. He had not made any arrangement to bring his child to live with me. He wanted me to take her when his wife died, about two years ago ; but she did not come, and he never talked to me about it after. I knew his wife and two of the eldest children—two girls, one about 17, and the other about two years younger. Ido not know the other children. I did not seevery much of the prisoner or his family. Cross-examined—When I married the prisoner's sister her father was dead ; I did not know him. I knew two of the prisoner's brothers ; one is alive, and the other died, I believe, in the lunatic asy lum. Ido not know how the prisoner and his wife lived tog ether. I cannot say whether he was of sober ha bits before or since his wife's death. I did not refuse to take the child when he talked about it ; I and my wife were willing to take it, but he made an arrangment with some one else. I never had any quarrel with the prisoner. I was never afraid of him. I once took a stick to protect my self from him ; I took it because he said I was like a Withycombe man. I was not afraid he would make an attack on me. By the Judge—l cannot tell what time he got to my house on the Sunday morning, the 25th of July. I did not observe tfhything particular about him. He ate a very hearty breakfast. This was the case for the prosecution. Police-constable Taylor was recalled and exa mined by Mr. Rotton—l was present on one occa sion after the prisoner was in custody at Dulverton. I took off the handcuffs to give him his breakfast. I turned round, and he took up a pair of scissors and thrust them into his throat. He inflicted a wound on himself an inch-and-a-half long, and and nearly an inch deep. I seized him. He tried to_pull open the wound in his throat. Ho told me after that if he could see the chance he would make away with himself. I sent for a surgeon who at tended the prisoner. Mr. Karslake said that Mr. Collins was the sur geon who attended the prisoner on the occasion in question ; and if his learned friend (Mr. Rotton) liked to examine that gentleman as to the state of the prisoner's mind at that time, he (Mr. Collins) was present, and could be asked any questions on the subject. Mr. Rotten then briefly addressed the jury, con tending that if the jury should come to the conclu sion that this dreadful crime was perpetrated by the prisoner, the utter absence of motive or pre meditation might well suggest that it had been committed in a sudden paroxysm of insanity. The attempted suicide of the prisoner afterwards might confirm this view, and suggest such doubt as might make the jury pause before they returded a ver dict which would forfeit the life of the unfortunate man at the bar. The learned Judge then summed'up, and The Jury having consulted, found the prisoner guilty. His Lordship, in an impressive address, passed sentence of death. THE LATE CALAMITY AT WESTON.--We are sorry to have to state, on what we believe to be reliable authority, that the distressing circumstances arising out of the fearful accident at Weston, the seat of the Earl of Bradford, have not yet come to a termination. It will be remembered thaS Lord Newport, in his endeavours to extinguish the flames, which ultimately proved fatal to his lamented sisters, was himself seriously injured in both hands. It is now sta ted that the injury to one o f th em h as p rove d much more im portant than was at first imagined, and that latterly the wounded part has become so much worse as to occasion great uneasiness not only to the noble lord himself, but to his lordship's family and friends. We sincerely hope the gloomy accounts which have reached us may prove exagge rateds—Artningham THIRD EDITION.. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
