LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
SECOND DOUBT.
~ittisgs nn Nisi Prise in Loadan.—(lisfore Mr. Justice
Willa awl a Commas Jury.)

1101113 F. ftATIL-ACCIDIST.

This was an action against the iciiendant, who keeps as
iron warehouse in Great Portland-street, to recover damages
for injuries sustained through falling down an open trap
door upon his premises. _ _ .

Mr. 'Francis:lmi Mr. Butler Rigby appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Berjeant O'Brien for the defendant.
It appeared that in February last the plaintiff went to
the defendant's and asked permission to weigh some goods
there oo behalf of Mr. Worldman, a neighbour. A young
sn who was in the shop acceded to the request, and on •
'previous occasion the defendant himself had given a similar
permission. The plaintiff and another man acoordingly
were admitted by a private door in Little Portland-
street, and went towards the scales, which were in • part of
the premises not used by customers. The plaintiff fell
through the trap-door, which was close by the stales, and so
hurt hi■ knee that he bad to keep his bed for three weals,
and some year would probably elapse before be quite
recovered.

ErWeooe was g;ven to prove them facie, and it was also
said that there warn not sufficient light to see the hole in the
floor ; though it seemed that there was quite enough light
to weigh by.

Mr. Justice Willa. said he did not think that the plaintiff
bad made oat guy Celle ; the plaintiff had simply been per-
mitted without payment in say way to go upon the dr
feodant's modem and use his mules ; and this permission
was not eves given by the defendant persooally, but by a
young man who was described not very definitely am clerk,
f Temais, on amasser.
The jury said that they were unanimously of opinion in
favour of the defendant.

Mr. Serjeant said that he could prove that the
retaliation wen given by a person who did not occupy any
kaAingepolition in the estelliahnient.

Mr-..livitice Willem Ina it wasuoneoemeary to do so.
A verdict .as entered for the defendant, bat leave was
reserved to the plaintiff's counsel to move the court if he
thought that he could make out that the facts created say
hkbility on the defendant.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judie Ordinary.)
SALT r. SALT.—A HARD CARL
- - •

_
The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spinks for the plaintiff ;
Mr. IlaoSty, Q.C., and Dr. Wambey for the defendant.
The plaintiff propouoded the will of her husband, Mr.
James Salt, late a partner in the arm of Salt, Stevenson,
and Salt, of Lombard-street, bankers. He had married her
in August, 1657. and soon afterwards he had made his will,
leaving her an annuity of 61.131., and constituting her his
residuary legatee. Before his death, however, he bad pur-
chased a great deal of land, so that his personal residue was
greatly reduced in amount. On Sunday, the 6th of
December. 1863, he went with his wife to church for the
purpose of attending early communion. Daring the terries
he suddenly fell down in a swoon. He was taken into the
vestry, and shortly afterwards removed to his own
house, where be was placed in bed. As soon as he
hid come to himself he called far pen and
paper. These being at length brought him, be
wrote, with great difficulty, the words "All my property
to my wife," and signed the paper. He request< I that the
two servants present should also sign it ; but both the
plaintiff and they were so intent on applying restoratives
to him that it was not does till he had died. The defend-
ants, who were the next of kin, resisted probate on the
ground that the attestation had not taken place in the
presence of the deceased, as required by the statute.
The above facUi having been proved,
Sir J. P. Wilde said that after the rare disinterestednees
which had been shown by Mrs. Salt, the jury would be de.
eirous, if possible, to establish the will. Bat the making of
a man's testament was a solemn act, and required carteda
forms to be observed—forms, however, which were
not very cumbrous. It could not be said that the
witnesses had signed the will in the presence of the teals-
tor, if be was dead ; and be (Sir J. Wilde) was afraid,
therefore, afore, that they might say that the will had not bees
duly executed.
The jury having found accordingly,
The court pronounced against the will, the costa of all the
parties teem* oat of the estate.

pease', and weal of capital. It seems that the bankrupt
had formerly come to an arras meat with his creditors,
but coder the 110th section of the act he now applied for
his order of discharge.
It was now stated that there was no oppositioa by the
witness, and that the creditors had in the first indents,
taken the petition oat of court under a halt dad, bat
