DISTS.ENSING OCCCBRIENCR IN GLASGOW. —On
Thursday. night a most distressing accident by firearms
occurred us a house in Hopeetreet, by which a young woman
has been cut off in the (atom of youth. About 11 o'clock
in the eveoiog a man named Thomas Allan, an engineer,
lesidieg at 1761, Hope-street, reported at the Northern
Felice-office that be had accidentally shot his sister Rachel
shortly before, and from the information which he and
Ins mother gave of the occurrence the following parti-
culars are gleaned:—Allan and bin sister, who was about
twenty-five years of age, with their mother, another
brother, named William, and an aunt. were all sitting
together in their house, Lad as a certain tone of light-heart-
edness pervaded the little group, the deceased had asked
bar brother Thome to look for • smog book, which she
thought he would find co one of the high shelves, and favour
them with • stave. He sought for the book as she desired,
bet did not fled it. A pistol however, to be lying
en the shelf, and taking this in his and began.to toy
with it, stein to his shier. " I will shoot you. Not
keeeing the pistol to be loaded or capp he
wifortnuately drew the trigger, and thenteata
lodging in the young woman's neck, beneath and
rather behind the left ear, she died instantaaeoosly. The
brother who had discharged the pistol hurried off for a sur-
geon, but his services were quite unavailing. The pistol
with which the wound was initiated belonged to the brother
William, who had laid it by last queen's birthday, sine*
within time it had not been used. He stye he L not aware
that there was anything in the pistol exempt powder and
nesse brown paper wadding, which he remembers to have
canned tightly before potting it away. The home had
bees cleaned shortly before the New Year; and at that
time the pistol wee taken down from the shelf and after-
weeds replaced, but it was not thought to be
elimeged. Thome Allan, who was much affected what
eh *lag the facts of the case, has been detained in the pollee-
idea nstil • report hot been submitted to the Fiscal ; but
as the itefortnewee affair was clearly an accident, hie dotes_

EQUITY COURT.—JAN. 16.
(Mon Vioe.ChaocoUor Str W. P. Wood.)
LORD EGMONT V. TOE REV. RR W. DARILL, BART.

The plaintiff*. case having at length come to an end, the
defence was announced in the later part of today. That
defence is simply, a denial of almost every statement made
by, or on behalf of, the plaintiff. According to the de-
fendants' version of the story, the Earl Henry was, when
be first became entitled to the estates in question, well ac-
quainted with their extent, value, and capabilities. If he
did not place them, be allowed them to remain, knowing per-
fectly what he was about, under the charge of kir. Tierney.
From time to time be saw and corresponded with that gen-
tleman. approved of his plans, adopted his propositions re-
lating to the est►tes, and in all respects concurred in their
management. lle might oocasionally have taken more to
drink than strict propriety would sanction, but in the main
be was a clever sensible person, well able to take are of
his own interests, and to know what be was about. So far
from drinking at low public•houses, be visited, and
was visited by, the clergy and gentry of Chisle-
don, the pariah in which he resided. The
evidence reed ag►inst him was the evidence of common
people, the scouring' of the coach-house and stable-yard ;
the evidence for him was that of persons of position and
respectability, who met and visited him on equal terms.
Upon this evidence it would appear that he wan a man upon
whom an undue influence rook as that charged by the bill
could not be brought to bear with nooses. And upon such
evidence, coupled u it was with other evidence, showing
the means of knowledge placed at hie disposal, but one con-
clusion could be arrived at, namely, that the will in ques-
tion was fairly and honestly made, and could not now be
set aside or tout) questioned.

The soricitce:Geaeral, Mr. Wm. Jame, and Mr. J. Pear-
son appeared for the defendants, whose case is stall in-
complete.

and took their seateacoordingly.

PICKARD V. LLOCKMANN AND ANOTHKR.

pmceeded some short distance be wee apprehended by
Police-sergeant Thomas, who searched him, and found on
him mural artistlee that were identified by the prosecutor
as belonging to him. On searching his apartment be found
several bars of soap belonging to the prosecutor. When the
other prisoner wee taken into custody be denied any know-
ledge of Cole, and said that no one had been riding with
him that day.
The prisoners, who made no defence, were fully com-
mitted to the Middlesex Sessions for trial.
Mr. Beard, solicitor, afterwards applied that bail might
be taken for one of the primula. It was the first offence
with which the prisoner bad been charged.
Mr. D'Eynoourt refused the application.

MARYLEBONE.
A stylishly dressed person, wearing • new drab box
coat and a dark blue silk velvet hunting cap, named
Francis Smith, of Ventoor Cottage, Kentish Town, was intro-
duced to the notice of Mr. Mansfield, charged with being
drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the police.
A policeman deposed that about eight o'clock the pre-
vious night ho was in the Hampstead-road, when his
attention was called to the prisoner, who was crAating
a great disturbance outside • public-house, with •
large crowd around him. He requested him to
leave, when he swore fearfully, and said be would
not go•way. He was told that if be did not move off he
woad be lacked up, when he struck him (witness) three
violent blow. on his chest, saying he was a
magistrate, and ought not to he interfered with. Wit-
ness said if he was • magistrate he ought to know better,
sod took hint in charge, when he kicked him. Hie con-
duct was disgraceful in the extreme, both to bins (witness)
and the inspector at the station. He still felt the effects
of the blows on his chest.

Mr. Rovill, Q.C., said he appeared for the plaintiff in this
ceas. The question involved was ow of great importance
with reference to foreign bills of exchange, and arose upon
demurrer to a plea to the declaration. He (the loused
counsel) had a difficult case to argue, there being no preps-
deot upon the point in any of the law books. The plaintiff
sued as the director of the Comptoir d'Esoompte de Paris,
and the declaration stated that Keens. Ring Brothels and
Co., of Cardenas, made a bill of exchange, dated the
27th of October, 1860, in four parts, and directed it to
Messrs. &corks, Saha, and Co. at Seville. directing
them to pay, at 60 days' sight, the sum of $5OO dollen
to Wawa. Noriega, Olmo, and Co. The payees endorsed
the ball to Messrs Eacanriza and Serpa, who endorsed
it to the defendants. The defendants sold the bill to
Mews. Hombre and Son, who eodoreed it to the plaintiff's
credit. The bill was then sent to Seville to be presented,
and was lost. The creditors thereupon called upon the
defendants to deliver up the second, third, sod fourth parte
of the bill, which the defendants, by their plea, denied that
they had in their possession ; and the great question in the
case was, how far the endorser of • bill of exchange drawn
la puts was bound to hand over the whole of the parte.
Mr Justice Wightman—Whether he has them or not!
Mr. Bovill—Yss, my lad; whether he has the bill or
not. If he ha not the porta, I contend he is liable for
them. The learned counsel then cited a great many cause
which he thought bore at all upon the cam, and, after
having done so, left the case in the hands of the court.
Mr. Justice Wightman mid these wee no doubt that the
=
' involved in the came was one of a very novel
Mr. Bonll had been very frank in bringing all
the cues that bore upon the point, pro and con, before the
court; but he could not help thinking that the learned
monad had made out • much stronger case for the defen-
dants than for the plaintiff.
The Court, without calling upon Mr. Hon yman to
support the defendants' views of the case, gave judgment
for the defendants.

Mr. Mansfield—Vbetimes you to sad?
Prisoner—Oh, the effects of too much wine.
Mr. Mansfield—You must pay a penalty of 405., or be im-
prisoned for 14 days.

WESTMINSTER.

Rirhard Phillips, a respecCablelooking middle-aged man.
wee placed at the bar charged with stealing a quantity of
timber and bricks, the property of Richard Franklin.
Prosecutor stated that he was • purchaser of same
timber and bricks from a French gentleman at the Exhi-
bition. They were in the western annexe. and had been
need for some machinery, since removed. Prosecutor paid
a deposit of 10s. on the 19th of November for the timber
and bricks, and the balance of ito. to complete the purchase
on the following day. Prosecutor went on the 31st ult. to
the western annexe to remove the timber and bricks, and
found them gone. On making inquiries, he found the
timber at Douglas's yard, opposite the Cromwell-road. The
prisoner was there, and said that he had bought the
timber and bricks of • party. Prosecutor gave him plenty
of time to find the man be said be bought the
things of, hut he did not, so be gave him into custody.
Ilr. Arnold—How do you make out that the prisonerstole the things ?
. .

Prosecutor—l bought and paid for them.
Prisoner—And so did I.
Mr. Arnold (to the prosecutor)—Yon have got to prove be
stole them.

Prosecutor—He had no business with them after I had
bought them.
Mr. Arnold—He may possess them wrongfully or he may
not. You have given him in charge for felony, and it is
now for you to prove that be has committed one. He may
have a claim to the property as well as yourself.
Proescator—He can't have it ; it is mine. I bought and
paid for it.
Mr. Arnold—l am not saying that it is yours or his, but
you both lay claim to it, and you say he has stolen it.
Prosecutor—l don't know whether he has stolen it or not.
Mr. Arnold—Then you should not have given him in
charge. It is a very serious thing to take away a man's
character in this way. There is no pretence for charging
the prisoner with felony.
Prisoner was immediately discharged.
It was stated that the accused was a very respectable

LAMBETH.
Anna Healsley, aliu Dixon, alias Murphy, alias C&.ey,
was brought up on remand, and placed at the bar beton
the Hoe. 0. C. Norton, on a charge of picking the pocket
of Mn. Clahrorthy of her puns, containing six sovereigns
and some silver.

From the evidence, It appeared that on Thursday week
• bazaar was held at the school rooms, in Camden-
street, Lambeth, for therpose of raising • fund
iinflicieat to put up • stained glaas window in
the parish church, and it was principally atteoded
by the parishioners. The prosecutriz (Mrs. Clalwnrthy),
who u the wife of an inspector of police, visited the
rooms in the course of the evening, and shortly after her
entrance into the building the prisoner and another young
woman presented themselves at the door for admission,
and were about to walk in without paying anything, when
they were told by Mr. Montgomery, the parish clerk, who
was at the door that the entrance fee was one shilling.
They then retired • short distance from the door, and
after • short consultation the prisoner again presented
herself at the door, and paid Is. and walked in, and her
companion went away. Mr. Montgomery suspecting ber
gave a description of her to the constable on duty, and told
him to keep his eye on her, and she had not been long in
the rooms when she was about to leave, but was stopped,
and at this time it wan found that the robbery had taken
place. She denied the charge when accused of stealing the
prosecutrix's puree, said she was a person of high respect-
ability, sad threatened an action for false imprisonment,
while all the time she bad the purse in her band.
Ham? • detective of the P division, said the prisoner was
• notorious pickpoeket, and on one occasion managed to
make her escape from the Crystal Palace when a man and
• female, her companions, were apprehended and sentenced
to 18 and 12 months' imprisonment ; and she (the prisoner)
had on one occasion been committed to prison for eight
months.

WESTWOOD V. TER BISCRITART OP STATI FOR IDOLS.

This tam came before the court upon a demurrer; to •
plea to the decimation. The plaintiff claimed damages
against the Secretary of State for India for a breech of three
eontracte for the @apply of weasels, and also for the expense
of same extras and addition' to the contract.
The ease presented no feature of interest, and eventually
terminated in a judgment being given for the plaintiff an
some manta and for the defendant on others.
The Court was occupied the remainder of the day is dia.
posing of several cease in the special paper, but nose of them
presented any feature of iatereet.
