LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 13. BESCH V. FROLICK. This appeal came on for farther hearing this day. It was an appeal from a decree of the Vice-Chancellor dissolving the partnership between the parties td the bill, on the ground of the lunacy of the defendant Frolick. The case came on in the Court below as a short cause, and. the decree was made without any argument being heard. It was contended, in support of the appeal, that the decree should only have dis solved the partnership from the date of the decree itself, 1839, and not have gone back to May, 1834. The LORD CHANCELLOR in giving judgment, said it was competent to the plaintiff Besch, to file at any time for procuring a dissolution of partnership ; if he chose not to do that, and for a considerable period continued to derive a benefit from the lunatic's capital and interest in the concern, it was not open to him now to say that the partnership ought to stand dissolved from the period of the insanity of the appellant. This would be a great hardship to the lunatic, whose capital would be so employed, he being also left liable to the partnership debts. The decree of the Court below must be confirmed, as far as respected the dis solution of the partnership between the parties. The dissolution, in reference to others to be dated from the day of filing the bill. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ELY V. BLISS. Mr. BETHEL, in the absence of the Solicitor-Gene .ral, opened this case, which involves a question of great nicety and importance. It was a bill for tithes, brought by a spiritual corporation aggregate, the Dean and Chapter of Ely, against the defendant, who put in a plea founded on tke late Statute of Limitations, commonly known as the 3d and 4th Wm. IV., and the important question involved was, whether that statute of limitations repealed the statute known as Lord Tenterden's Act, which was passed the year antece dent to the former one. In the year 1833 great changes took place in the law. In the April or May of that year Lord Tenterden brought in a Bill, put ting the law of exemption with regard to tithes on a better footing ; this Act was followed in the succeed ing year by the Act which altered the law of limita tions as far as related to real property, and what had always been understood by the Bar, was, that the latter statute did not supersede or render the former inoperative. The decision of the Master of the Rolls ruled that the latter statute of limitations applied to suits for tithes, and might be pleaded accordingly in bar of such suits. The present case was an appeal ' from that decision, with the view of trying the ques tion. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the bill ; the claim against which the statute of limi tations was pleaded was made by the Dean and Chap ter of Ely fur great and small tithes, under a grant from Henry VIII. The Lord Chancellor rose at two o'clock to attend the prorogation of Parliament. ROLLS' COURT, Dec. 13. Several short causes and unopposed petitions were disposed of in the early part of the morning, after which was resumed the part-heard cause of THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LORD CARRINGTON. This was an ex-officio information, which prayed for a declaration that the lands of the defendants at Humberstone, in Lincolnshire, were chargeable under the will of Mathew Humberstone, bearing date • March 14th, 1708, with the payment of two annuities of 41. and of 401. respectively, to the curate or minister for the time being of Humberstone, upon the per formance by him of the services, as by the will di rected, of preaching every Sunday a sermon in the morning and another iu the evening, and reading divine service, and also during the week days of teaching the boys of Humberstone the English and Latin languages, writing, arithmetic, the casting of accounts, &c. In the year 1792 the estate was pur chased by the late Lord Carrington, subject to those annuities, and it was contended, therefore, that the property was still liable to the charge. This view of the case was supported by Mr. Pem berton and Mr. Blunt for the Crown ; Mr. Cooper and Mr. Lovett on behalf of the vicar and master, Mr. Gedge. It was opposed by Mr. Teed and Mr. Oliver, who appeared for the trustees of the will of the late Lord Carrington, and by Mr. Green, who ap peared for the present Lord Carrington. The arguments were brought to a close to-day, and Lord Langdale delivered his judgment. His LORDSHIP said the late Lord Carrington had purchased the property in question, liable, under the will of the testator, Mathew Humberstone, to the annuities mentioned in the pleadings, and which were made payable to the schoolmaster of the place for the time being. One thing was clear—namely, that the testator had intended that the curate and schoolmaster should be one and the same person, and the annuities were annuities not to the curacy, but to the school. The construction of the will was not now a question raised with the Court. Shortly after the death of the testator the cause came before the Court, and in the year 1735 a decree had been made establishing that the annuity of 401. was on a footing different from that of the 41. annuity which had been devised in a part of the will subsequent to that refer ring to the 401. annuity. This latter annuity was to continue to be paid till a sufficient cause for its sub traction had arisen, and on the person bound to pay it, there rested an obligation to show the Court that there were good grounds for subtracting that annuity. The decree thus made had been confirmed by a subsequent decree. Afterwards a recovery was suffered, and the entire ownership was parted with suhject to all the charges on the estate and this charge among the rest. At the time the pro perty was sold it was supposed that the portion of it charged under the will was not liable till the sale of another estate, mentioned in the pleadings, had been effected. The conveyance re cited the will, and he must say, as to the words "-during pleasure," that he very much doubted if any one could say that the testator left that pro vision at the caprice or will of the casual owner of the estate. The testator had willed the property upon trust expressly for the payment of those annuities. It had been said that Lord Carrington had been taken by surprise. That might be the case. But he (Lord Langdale) would not on that account withhold the annuity with which the property had been for ever charged. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. DEDHAM SCHOOL. In this cause, which had been already discussed at considerable length before the Court, Lord LANGDALE decreed a reference to the Master, to inquire and re port if the trustees of the estate had died, who was the survivor, or w h o was t h e h e i r or d ev i see o f th e survivor, or in whom the legal estate vested. VICE- CHANCELLORS' COURT, Dec. 13. (Before Sir JAMES WIGRAM.) rARRER V. COLLINS. His HONOUR gave judgment in this case this morn ing. The plaintiff's alleged themselves to be the trustees of a Wesleyan chapel in St. George's Fields, and the object of the suit was to obtain payment of the sum of 5821. 15s. 6d., alleged to have become, and still to remain due, to the society of which the plaintiffs alleged themselves to be trustees, from one Collins, formerly a treasurer of the society, in respect of monies held by him as such treasurer. The precise mode in which the plaintiffs.sou g ht to work out satisfaction of their claim, was by means of a lien, or equitable charge, which they sought to establish by their bill upon monies of Collins in the hands of the defendant, Collins, as the agent in this country of Collins who was abroad. Collins had for many years before the institution of the suit, and still was, a resident in Africa. He was made a defendant upon the record, and process was prayed against him when he should come within the jurisdiction of the Court; but he had not appeared in this cause. The first document relied upon by the plaintiffs was a writing signed by Collins, and addressed by him to the defendant, . - Collins, signed the 24th of February, 1820, imme diately after writing which he left the country, and had not since been within the jurisdiction of the Court. F rom th a t ti me d own t o the filing of the bill, said subsequently, he had written letters from abroad to Collins respecting the plaintiffs' claim, and Collins (the defendant) had addressed letters to the plaintiffs which were relied upon as evidencing and showing the lien or charge which it was the object of the bill to estab lish. These letters came down to a period so late as the month of December, 1840, after the institution of the suit, and a supplemental bill had been filed to have the benefit of one of such letters... The bill was filed in the month of October, 1840, being more than 20 years after the debt claimed in the cause became due, and an injunction was obtained, which had once been continued to restrain alienation of the fund. The de fendant Collins claimed no interest in the fund in question, except as trustee for Collins, and he had re sisted the plaintiffs' claim on several grounds. First he said that the letter of the 24th of February, 1820, did not form an effectual lien, or charge, upon the monies now in the hands of Collins; secondly, that the plaintiffs title as trustees had not boen established; thirdly, that the admission in the answer of Collins of the letter of the.24th of February, 1820, and of various other matters in the answe;-, could not be received as evidence in the cause; fourthly, he set up the statute of limitations ; fifthly, he said that by a letter of Collins, of 1840, put in as evidence by the plaintiffs, Collins disputed the amount claimed by the plaintiffs. and that an account of what was actually due could not be taken in the absence of Collins, nor could he be bound by any evidence in the cause. His Honour, after going through these ground s ,. said he iad come to the conclusion that he could not, upon the evidence before him, grant th e plaintiffs the relief which they asked. If he were compelled then finally to dis pose. of the cause, he could only diSpose of it by dis- He would be led to consider, however, whether he ought in this ease to grant the plaintiffs that indulgence which a Court of Equity sometimes granted to enable plaintiffs to p e rfe c t a suit. In considering • this he had had regard to the two consideration s which usually regulated the dis . cretion of the Court; namely, the merits of the case, and the risk of perjury by which the amendment of a case after it had been argued, was too often attended. Upon the question of merits, his Honour referred to the letters in evi dence, and, amongst others, to a letter from Collins to the defendant Collins, dated the 19th December, 'lB4O, in which he said that the monies in the hands of the latter were to be consi dered as a sacred deposit for the purpose of paying the debt. It was the case then of an agent, setting up on behalf of his principal and in his absence—he did not mean improperly setting up, but setting up defences on behalf of his principal, which that principal in honour and conscience, felt himself bound to repudiate. As far as the first ques tion, that of merits was concerned, he thought the case was as strong as any case which could be brought before a Court of Justice. With regard to the second point, he thought this was not a case which presented any danger of perjury, • for so far as the principal claim was concerned there was evidence ofit in writing under the hands of the parties sought to be charged. Upon the evidence before him he could not decide at the hearing of the cause that the case was one in which the plaintiffs might not, as against Collins, en title themselves to a decree. He thought he ought to give the plaintiffs an opportunity of bringing Collins before the Court. The remaining question, and the only question which had seriously embarrassed him at the hearing of the cause, was whether Collins had not a right to have the case decided so far as he was concerned; whether if a case had been made out against Collins the bill should not be dismissed as against Collins instead of his being kept before the Court as a party to a cause, the end of which could not be foreseen ; but when he adverted to the letters written by Collins, to the defence which Collins had set up, which was merely that he could not as trustee or agent admit the plaintiff's claim in the absence of Collins, he thought, as against him, particularly having regard to his letter of the 19th of December, 1840, he was not dealing unjustly by him when he said, he thought the interest which he had in being dis missed from the suit was not such as ought to pre vent him from being retained before the Court. All, therefore, he could do in this view of the case was to direct the cause to , stand over, with liberty to the plaintiffs to take such proceedings as they might be advised, fur the purpose of bringing the defendant Collins before the Court. The injunction must be continued, or a sum sufficient to cover the demand brought into Court, ,the rest being left at the disposal of Collins. The plaintiffs must pay the costs of the day. At the close of his Honour's judgment an offer was made on the part of the defendant of 8001. in full dis charge of the debt. After a short discussion the de cree was ultimately taken by consent, the defendant agreeing to pay 7001. without costs. The bill was or dered to be dismissed. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1842 signature, "Dmid Boast," was not the signature of the prosecutor. Evidence was then tendered, showing that malice had existed on the part of the defendants against the prosecutor, and on one occasion Shiels said he would transport Boast, if it cost him 20,000/. David Boast was called and corroborated the evi dence of Captain Cole. On cross-examination he admitted having been a bankrupt four times, and once passed:through the Insol vent Court. His debts in the first bankruptcy amounted to 8,0001. He did not know that any dividend had been paid. In the beginning of this year he went out of the way. It was not because a charge was made against him of forgery. Would not swear that he had not been accused of forgery. Would not swear that he had not accused a person of adultery with his own wife, that person being now in the closest intimacy with him. Declined saying whether he had lived in adul try himself. His wife was living, but he did not live with her. He had been married 26 years. The COMMON SERGEANT here suggested that it would be better for all parties if the case were with drawn. The Learned Counsel consulted together for some time, and Mr. CLARKSON said he would, on the part of his client, withdraw the indictment, if, on the other side, a promise were made that no further proceedings should be taken. Mr. BALLANTINE said he would promise that no further proceedings should be taken. The COMMON SERGEANT said he did not think the case could be made out if proceeded with. Mr. CLAnx.sox said he felt it to be his duty to state that he did not entirely rest his case on the evidence of Boast, which the Jury might think doubtful, after the disclosures which had been made. The COMMON SERGEANT—I think it not a very creditable affair to any of the parties. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER—And to show what we think of it, we will allow no etpenses. The case was then withdrawn, and the defendants liberated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YE STE RDAY .) BOW-STREET. A clerk from Mr. Flower's office appeared before Mr. Jardine this morning to apply for a warrant against the secretary of a benefit society. The so ciety was not enrolled, but it was a general trade be. nefit society, and the person against whom he applied for a warrant, acted in the capacity of secretary, and had received several amounts of money from corre sponding societies in the country ; these sums he had appropriated to his own use, and he therefore wished the Magistrate to grant a warrant for his apprehension. Mr. JARDINE inquired what the charge was under the Act, so as to bring it within his jurisdiction ? The applicant said the charge would be one of em bezzlement. The society was established within the Bow-street district, and was called the Saddlers' and Harness Markers' Benefit Society. Mr. JARDINE said if a felony had been committed a warrant was not required, as any person interested might give the man in charge. The applicant said the object of the society was to have the opinion of the Magistrate upon the matter, the society not being an enrolled one. Mr. JARDINE could give no advice on the matter. The applicant then left the office with the inten tion of giving the person in charge. CLERKEN WELL. Charles Phillips was charged with being riotous al a public-house in Nottingham -street. Mr. Skone, the landlord of the house, said the pri soner came into his house on the previous evening, and was so noisy and annoying that witness could not serve his customers. He told him to go away, but as he refused he gave him in custody. Mr. GREEIIWOOD—What did you give him into custody for ? Skone—For annoying my house. Mr. GREENWOOD—Did he strike you?—He did not. Mr. GREENWOOD—Policeman, what did you take him into custody for ? Police-constable 39 G as cended the witness-box ; at first he seemed much con fused, but after a minute's hesitation said " There were seven or eight persons round the door, your Worship." Mr. GREENWOOD—But this man was in the public house, and not in the street; at least the police-sheet says so.—The constable was silent. Mr. GREENWOOD—You had no right whatever, publican, to give this man into custody, nor you con stable to take him into charge. The man was in a house, and not obstructing the public footway or dis turbing the public peace. I discharge you prisoner. 111ARYLEBONE. Catherine Lindsay, alias Caroline Sher V a young smartly-dres se d g irl, was charged by o ne o f t he offi cers of the M en dicity Society, with begging. The compl a i nan t said that the prisoner wa s d ec id e dl y one of the m os t artful, and consequently one o f t h e most successful, begging-letter imp os t ors i n London, generally representing herself as a soldier's daughter, and showing a number of cards from individuals its high life, recommending her as a deserving and worthy character. He could produce a host of wit nesses, if necessary, but had only brought three, as he thought these would be sufficient to convict her. John Charles Campbell, surgeon, of Weymouth street, said that he was inf orme d b y a lady residing near the Regent's-park, that the prisoner had called upon her, representing herself as sent by witness, and the lady had consequently assisted her with money and clothing. He (witness) wrote to the Secretary of the Mendicity Society, giving a description of the girl. The prisoner subsequently ca ll e d upon hi mse lf and 3 , ai a petition, pu r p ort i ng t h at her father was a s e showed rgea _l or in th e 1 0t h F oot, at present in n t India, and that she wished to go out to him, but wanted money and clothes. She also showed a great number of cards, principally from noblemen and gen tlemen of high military standing, who she said could vouch for the truth of her story. He, however, gave her into custody. James Danielfs, servant to Miss Parker, of 45, Upper Henley-street, said the prisoner called upon his mistress with a similar story, and was assisted by her. Police-constable 87 B said, she had been frequently before the Magistrates of Queen-square, and was some time ago sent by the late Mr. Gregorie to the House of Correction for six weeks. Mr. Ri.vvLiNsoN said, that from all he could learn, lie believed her to be an impostor of the worst class, and he would therefore send her to the house of Cor rection for three months. UNION-HALL. Fifteen destitute objects were brought up for re fusing to do the work assigned to them in Newington workhouse. The defendants, who were all nearly destitute of clothes, were admitted into the work house on the preceding night, on agreeing to work for four hours the next morning. When, however, they were taken into the stone yard, they refused to break stones, saying that they were incapable of doing it owing to their want of rest the preceding night, the place they were put to sleep being so cold and damp they never closed their eyes, and were therefore unable to go to work. The MAGISTRATE said that it was lamentable to see the number of destitute creatures who were brought up day after day from Newington, and that there must be something wrong in the system there adopted with respect to cases of th e a b ove d es cription, and the sooner it was altered the b e tt er . H e then committed the defendants for seven days each, and to be passed. - WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT.—OD Monday afternoon a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St. Dunstan s - in -the-West was held at the Com mittee-room, adjoining the Church, Fleet-street, for the purpose of nominating fit and proper persons to be elected as Common Councilmen for the Ward and Inquest. Mr. Churchwarden Rogers in James Ramshaw (Deputy), Mr. John an ir. dMr. Edward Hodgson, the present 'nCfoorhtn Charles m ht m eh o ch n Whaar C ialre' s o rd Councilmen, were again nominated, and the nomination to the inquest being also chosen, the meet ing broke up after returning thanks to the chairman.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at the Guildhall, in the City of London, before Lord DENMAN and a London Common Jury.) RICHES V. TWENTYMAN. The plaintiff in this case is a builder, and the de fendant a gentleman residing in Avenue-road, Re gent's-park. The action was brought to recover 401. Bs. 6d., alleged to be due from defendant, for preparing estimates for the building of a house. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Humfrey conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Thomas for the defendant. It was admitted that Riches had prepared the estimate ; hut, on the part of the defendaßt, it was contended - that Riches was given distinctly to under stand that the estimate was to be prepared gratui tously, as the building was to be competed for, so as to give defendant the opportunity of accepting which contract he might think proper. This was denied by plaintiff, who contended that he had been expressly employed by Mr. Twentyman to prepare the estimate, without any reference to any competition for the contract. The work had been done in 1840, but no demand had been made, nor had the present action been brought, until May 1842. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 13. SMITH V. GORDONS.-FALSE IMPRISONMENT. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with this case, which in its general bearing is of an unusual and somewhat important character. It was conducted for the plaintiff by Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd ; and Sir T. Wilde appeared for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff, in 1833, was captain of an East India trader, the Frances Charlotte, and in that year received. from the defendants a letter of credit for 1001. upon their agent at Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land. On touching at that port, the credit was duly honoured by the agent, Mr. M'Laughlin, who on payment of the 1001. received from plaintiff a bill of exchange drawn upon a merchant in London, named Kane, his owner, on whose behalf the letter of credit was given for the necessary disbursements of the ship at Van Diemen's Land. This bill of ex change was to be remitted to Messrs. Gordon, and in such cases it was the practice of Mr. M‘Laughlin to have the bill drawn in three parts or duplicates, en dorsing each of them ; and to remit one by the first ship, another by a second, and to retain the third. On this occasion the first part was put on board the ship Rifleman, which is supposed to have been lost on the passage, not having been heard of since 1838. The defendants having informed their agent in the colony that the bill had not been received, he remitted the second part, which, however, he had forgotten to endorse ; but this did not reach England until 1835. When the defendants sent the bill to the house of Kane for acceptance he could not be met with ; and, after considerable delay, the defendants took out a writ against Captain Smith, and arrested him on board his ship at Sheerness, in his cabin, at eight o'clock of the morning on which his vessel was to sail with convicts to Van Diemen's Land. Smith, who was well known at Sheerness, where he possessed pro perty, paid the amount of the alleged debt and costs into the hands of the Sheriff, and the case proceeded to trial, when the defendants failed to establish their claim as against him. The present action was ac cordingly brought for that arrest, as unfounded and malicious, considerable stress being laid by the plaintiff upon the fact, that the defendants postponed the arrest until the morning when he was about to sail ; whereas they could have arrested him any day for months before in London, and the manner and time of the arrest were calculated to have a very bad effect upon his officers and the convicts under his care upon the ensuing voyage. The defence now was that the ground of action against Captain Smith was real and bona fide, and that the defendants had waited to the last moment in the hopes of obtaining their money without harsh measures. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that, although the defendants had not made out their claim in the action against the plaintiff; yet that did not show that they had not such reasonable ground as would justify them in the steps they had taken. But he thought that, as the bill had not been duly presented or accepted, they had not such reasonable ground; and it would, there• fore, be for the Jury to consider whether they were actuated by malicious motives, and what compensa tion the plaintiff was fairly entitled to. The Jury then retired to consider their verdict, and, after some deliberation, found for the plaintiff—Da mages, One Farthing. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. I 3 . against ere hhenni 26 IN RE WMTMORE, WELLS ,w AND COMPAN Y . The bankrupts in this case rwell-knownoaggregateth oe fiat bankers of Lombard -street, issued in the month of July, 184 E ' amount of debts was stated to be ab ou t out of which a dividend of 6 s. in the pound had been d , I paid up to the last m e et in g. The assignees had proved against the estate of D a v entry, Re, Co., of _Manchester, for the enormous sum 'of 220,0001., on behalf of the bankrupts, when the above firm of Daventry and Co. became insolvent, but of this sum only Is. 6d. in the pound would be available for the estate. This day being appointed for de claring a further dividend, a sum of 2s. more in the pound was announced, making in the whole Bs. in the pound paid to the creditors. Several affidavits of debts were tendered in Court, which were informal, when The LEARNED COMMISSIONER observed that he felt strongly inclined to reject those proofs, because the parties tendering them neglected to comply with the rules as pointed out by the New Bankruptcy Amend ment Act. He wished it to be publicly understood that in all cases henceforth he would require the strictest compliance with those rules, and when such was not the case he would undoubtedly prohibit the admission of the proofs. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 13. IN BE MOSES NATHAN. The insolvent, who described himself as a general merchant, was in custody upon a liability contracted by gambling. Lewis Levi, the well-known sheriff's officer, who also is an extensive wine -merchant, having been mixed up in this transaction, and not being in Court to give evidence, Mr. Commissioner lIARRIS said he would not allow the insolvent's case ,to come on in the absence of so important a witness as Levi. He (Mr. Commissioner Harris) always sifted those gambling transactions to the utmost, and he should therefore order the hearing . to be adjourned for a month, the insolvent in the meantime not to be, allowed out upon bail ; and care being taken to have Levi and the detaining creditor present on the next day of hearing. IN R E GEORGE KNIGHT. The insolvent was a surgeon and apothecary in Drury-lane. At the last hearing the case was ad journed in order to perfect service, and he was opposed in person by Mr. Shaw. it appeared that he got a bill for 701. for the pur pose of entering upon business. The insolvent re peatedly told Mr. Shaw that he would give him up the bill, until eventually it wa s f oun d to have b een put into execution, and he (Mr. Shaw) was called upon to pAy the amount.—Discharged. IN RE JOHN HACREN. In this case the insolvent was opposed by Mr. Wood ruffe, on behalf of Mr. William Peddington. It appeared that the insolvent, who carried on an extensive business as an architect and builder, had engaged the opposing creditor to perfect a contract which he (the insolvent) had entered into with a gen tleman connected with the Surveyor-General's office, named Shilcocks. The chief grounds of opposition were, that he had entered upon the contract at such a low price, that it was impossible for a fair trades man to even pay for the materials, independent bf labour. Mr. Commissioner lIARms ordered the case to be adjourned for a month, to amend the schedule, by in serting several creditors, and refused to enlarge the insolvent's bail. In the case of Nathan, previously reported, on the application of Mr. Woodruffe, who read an affidavit, stating that the insolvent's child was dangerously ill, the Learned Commissioner consented to enlarge his bail. In the course of the day William Compton Smith, John Burn 3, George Bennett, and Anna Maria Gully, were discharged. No point of general interest was elicited in the hearing of their petitions. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. On Monday a commission of lunacy was opened before Edward Winslow, Esq., and 16 freeholders of the county, amongst whom were the following Ma gistrates :—Henry Pownall, Esq. (foreman), Captain Bague, R. Carpenter, Esq., James Whiskin, Esq. James Dixon, Esq., and Digby T. Carpenter, Esq., at the residence of Mrs. Broome, Norwood-green, near Southall, to inquire into the state of mind of John Broome, Esq., described as residing at the same place, bachelor. _ _ Mr. BLUNT appeared as Counsel in support of the commission, and saienotice of the inquiry had been served upon Mr. Broome, but he had declined the as sistance of any professional gentleman. Commissioner WisisLow having charged the Jury, Mr. BLUNT gave an outline of the case. Mr. Broome, he said, was a gentleman about 35 years of age, and is possessed of very considerable property, and had received a good education. He was brought up at the Charterhouse, and from there went to Trinity College, Cambridge. After leaving the latter place in 1831, he went to travel upon the Continent, and on his re turn, about July, 1834, it was observed for the first time that an alteration had taken place in his mind. About this period they would have it in evidence from members of the family that Mr. Broome began to labour under singular delusions. He imagined that there were conspiracies against him, that persons were in the habit of constantly watching him, and that his food was impregnated with poison. In the year 1835 it was found necessary to place him under re straint, and he was accordingly placed under the care of Sir Charles Aldous, and remained with that gentleman and his brother, Dr. Aldous, up to No vember, 1835. It was then found necessary to have a consultation of physicians, and Dr. Sutherland, Sir Henry Ilalford, and Drs. Roots and 111`1Vright were called in, as it was found that \lr. Broome's life was becoming endangered from his determination not to take food. It was afterwards thought that it would be better Mr. Broome should he left in the care of a keeper, and kept as quiet as possible, and he was sent to Hampstead, and remained there up to 1836. He then seemed to be much more passive, and he was re moved to his mother's in Upper Seymour -street. They would find, however, when he got there that he ex hibited acts of violence—such as breaking windows and looking-glasses and destroying valuable books. In 1838 his mother removed to Twickenham, and her son went to reside in the same house, and then be came of the most secluded habits, and shut himself up in his room and laid in bed for months together, and would not allow it to be made, He also refused to see any member of his family. From 1839 to 1842 they would find he was attended by Eliza Tay lor, who would state that he refused to have his room cleaned out, and sometimes would have his breakfast and tea together at a late hour at night. In 1842 Mrs. Broome removed to Norwood-green, and in April last Rhoda Foster became his attendant. Since her attendance upon him they would find that his conduct was most extraordinary. He would not allow her to enter his room, and made her leave his meals at the door. He showed no sympathy or feel ing towards any of his family, or anybody about the house.. Mr. Broome had very considerable property, his father having left him residuary legatee under his will of some extensive produce in the West Indies, of which Messrs. Daniell and Co., of Bristol, were the consignees, and who had above 20,0001. in hand; yet the unfortunate object of this inquiry, had taken no means to obtain any portion of such property for some years past, with the exception of drawing two or three cheques for trifling amounts. He (Mr. Blunt) would lay before them evidence that Mr. Broome laboured under the impression that he had no property ; and therefore it was that, on this occasion, he should pre duce evidence of his property. They would also find he fancied himself Earl of Monmouth. After some further observations the Learned Gentleman called several witnesses in support of his statement. The Learned Commissioner, the Foreman, and a de putation of the Jury then proceeded to Mr. Broome's room to examine him ; and, after an absence of only a few minutes, the Jury unanimously returned a verdict dating his unsoundness of mind from the Ist of No. vember, 1834. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Henry Belstead, aged 46, and formerly a Captain in her Majesty's service, was placed at the bar charged with forgery, and the embezzlement of various sums of money to the amount of 1,5001., which had been deposited in the Savings bank at Richmond, of which establishment the defendant had been secretary. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the indictment, and the prosecutors strongly recommended him to mercy. Col. Fox, Major M'Culloch, and other highly re spectable persons gave the prisoner a very excellent character for integrity and for his services in the army. The RECORDER said that, in consequence of the recommendation of the prosecutors, and the high cha racter which the prisoner had received, he would in flict the lightest punishment upon him which the law allowed, and he could apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department to mitigate that penalty. The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner be confined in the House of Correction for two years, without hard labour. (Before the RECORDER.) The charge against Patrick L. Strachan, against whom a true bill was found at the last session for misdemeanour, haying been called on, and the de fendant not appearing in discharge of his recognizances, Mr. PAYNE applied to the Court to order that they might be estreated. Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the defendant, wished the Court would not accede 'to the application, as he was informed that a writ of certiorari had been ap plied for, and would, no doubt, be granted. Mr. PAYNE said it was usual to give notice to the prosecutors of the intention to apply for a writ of certiorari, and they had not received any such notice. The RECORDER thought that many cases were re moved from this Court, which, if the Learned Judges who granted the certiorari were aware of all the facts, would not be so. He was of opinion that this was the proper Court for the trial of such offences, and no more fair tribunal could be found, in asmuch as the Jurors were selected from all parts of the county. The defendant was then called upon his recog nizances, and no answer was returned. The RECORDER inquired the amount of the bail, and he was informed that the defendant had entered into his own recognizances in 500/., with two sureties in 50/. each. The bail were then called, but they, also, were not to be found. The recognizances were then ordered to be estreated. NEW COURT. Nearly a dozen eases were disposed of in this Court in the course of the morning, but they were chiefly cases of petty larceny, of no general interest. THE WE nig INSTER LOAN SOCIETY .—Aaron Smith and John Shiels, late Managers of the West minster Joint-stock Loan Society, surrendered upon an indictment for conspiracy in charging a person of the name of Boast of felony. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Huddlestone for the defendants. _ _ Mr. CLARKSON said the facts of the case were briefly these. The prosecutor was a person who had frequent bill transactions with the Westminster Loan Society. In the latter part of last year differences arose be ' tween them ; some proceedings were taken before Mr. Henry, at the Union-hall police-office, Boast being the prosecutor. On one occasion that Boast visited the defendants, he by accident dropped a bill of ex change, drawn up by himself, but which was not ac cepted or indorsed. Subsequent to this, a bill of exchange was taken by the defendant Smith to a Captain Cole, who had often lent the prosecutor his name, and was his intimate friend. Smith produced the note with the signature " Robert Cole" attached, and said, is that your writing ? and he. said at once that it was not. Smith then said, " Oh, then it is a forgery," and went away. Next day the prosecutor in this case was given in custody on a charge of for gery, and committed for trial. The Grand Jury, however, ignored the bill, and this indictment was therefore instituted against the defendants. Several policemen wore called to wove the facts as they occurred at the police.office. Captain Robert Cole stated 'that he lived. in the Kermington-road. The prosecutor was his friend, and was a surgeon; residing-in the Blackfriars-road. The bill Kodueed was not signed by witness, and the , PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &z. LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 13. Number Dividend fief et per CANALS, per Shares. Annum. Paid.
