EQUITY COURTEL—MAY 10.
(Before Vioe•Chwoefor Sir W. P. WOOL)
WINDHAM r. ORIBILII.

This was a petition presented by Mr. Windham, of
Felbrigg Hall, praying that the receiver might be
ordered to give him pessaries, and that it might be
declared that he was absolutely entitled to certain furni-
ture, &c., at Felbrigg Hall, which were bequeathed by the
testator in the clues as heir looms. It was contended
on the pert of General Windham that this furniture was
to go with the agate, and that the petitioner was conse-
quently not entitled to it as his own abseieute property.
Mr. Rolt and Mr. Bedweil were for General Windham ;
Mr. Giffard, Mr. Field, and Mr. Jervis were on the other
aide.
The

said that the intention of the testator
had no doubt been to settle this property la u to go with
the real estate. In fact, however, he had so expreseed
himself that by a rule of law they became the property,
absolutely, of the hilt taker. The petitioner was therefore
absolutely entitled.

C01:111t OF EXCHEQUER.—MAY 10.
Satiny at NW Prior.—(Before Mr. Bann Martin and a
Common Jury.)
ABLITT e.

This was an action to recover the sum of 3001. for goods
supplied, he. The defendant pleaded never indebted, he.
Mr. lincHleston, Q.C., and Mr. W. G. Harrison, were
counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. D. Keane and Mr. Cooke
appeared;for the defendant.
Mr. Huddleston, in stating the case to the jury, said the
plaintiff is • hosier, Sfc., carrying on business in Regent-
street. She brought this action to recover the above sum of
money for goods, Sic., supplied to the defendant, commencing
July, 1860, and extending down to January, 1862. Margaret
Ellen Agues Mary D'Arcy, or ashe passed at one time, Mn.
Angel, was one of those India who derive • very consider-
able income in this country by the acquaintances they
make with gentlemen of fortune and position, and whose name
they occasionally assume, and they ought to be the last per-
sons to complain of the dressmaker or hosier, from whom
they get credit for clothes with which to make a very
attractive and fashionable appearance. The defendant, at
the time she contracted this debt, was living in Parketreet,
Groavenorequare, and passing under the name of Angel.
She was a person of considerable personal attractions—•
very fashionable individual. She luxuriated in •
fashionable carriage, and she was addicted to a rather
stylish character of dress. Amongst other things sup.
phed to her were gilt buckles, very superior cambric pocket
handkerchiefs, quilted petticoats, dream—no and of them—
Wisdoms blank Cashmere abawls, elegantly trimmed with
lace, pearl-white silk stockings, embroidered 'herniae,
richly trimmed night-dreside and garters. The learned
owned said he should be able to prove the delivery of all the
articles, and that they were supplied at moderate and rea-
sonable charges, considering the expensive character of the
materials supplied.
Mrs. Ablett was called—She proved having sold to the
defendant most of the articles in question, amongst others a
steel petticoat for 265. ; gilt buckles, at 6s. 6cl. each ;
cambric handkerchiefs trimmed with Valenciennes lace,
38a. ; an extra rich ditto, 755. ; • rich silk quilted petti-
coat, 44 guineas ; opera glees, 31. 13a. lid. ; • black Cashmere
shawl, 3 guineas; muslin steel petticoat, 255. ; a black
Cashmere shawl, richly embroidered and trimmed with
lace, 251. Wane= saw the defendant about three weeks or
• month since, when she said that if time were given her
she would settle the account.
Mr. Baron Martin suggested, as a verdict must go against
the defendant, whether it, was not bad to settle the
matter by giving her time.
The learned counsel having consulted together, it was
arranged to take a verdict for the amount claimed and
costs, to be paid by four equal instalments of three months
each, execution to issue in the event of default.
Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—MAY 10.
(Before the Chief Commissioner.)
IN RS WILLIAM GEORGE HOWARD.
The case of Mr. Howard, the heir to the earldom of
Wicklow, which has been pending in the court since 1857,
was now brought to a conclusion. In consequence of the
publicity given to the proceedings on the last occasion some
interest was created, and • number of creditors attended.
Mr. Sargood appeared for the iolvent ; Mr. Robertson
Griffiths was for two creditors, Mr. Joseph_ Joel, a money
lender and a judgment creditor to 11,00 W., and for Mr.
Little, another judgment creditor. Other creditors op-
peered in person.
In this case the debts in the aggregate exceeded 100,0001.,
and there were on the general balance sheet large items for
dissount, losses on horse raced, and by playing at hazard" in
England and on the Continent. The large estates to which the
insolvent was entitled as heir to the present Bari of Wicklow
were set forth, and were charged with mortgages. On the last
occasion an application was made for en adjournment. It
was stated that Mr. Simplon (of Cremorne-gardens) bad
purchased a number of debts, and the object was to remove
the petition from the files of the court.
Mr. Robertson Griffiths, on the part of the two creditors
for whom he appeared, resisted any further adjournment,
and hoped the court would proceed to an adjudication.
Mr. Sargood said he did not intend to ask for an adjourn-
ment. It bad been wished that a further effort could be
made to settle with the creditors, but it could not be carried
out in his opinion, and therefore he would ask the court to
adjudicate upon the owe.
The Chief Commissioner said the adjudication would, of
course, be one of discharge. lie considered it was useless
having another adjournment.
Mr. Goodyer, a chemist and druggist, in Regentstreet,
claimed to be a creditor.
The insolvent said it was a debt since his petition. It
however turned out to have been contracted before the pe-
tition, and Mr. Howard said he had forgotten it, and meant
to have paid it. The claim was agreed to be inserted in
the schedule.
Mr. Sargood applied that Mr. Simpson might be appointed
aisigoee under this insolvency.
The Chief Commissiouer declined to interfere, and would
leave the appointment of assignee to the Court of Bank-
ruptcy.
The schedule was amended and sworn to by the insolvent.
The Chief Commissioner told Mr. Howard he was glad
that be bad yielded to the suggestion of Mr. Sargood, and
had an adjudication, instead of a further adjournment, as the
case had already been pending five years.
The insolvent was declared entitled to the benefit of the
act, and ordered to be discharged forthwith.

Oa Friday last Mary Mardtal 1 and Caroline Praid were
amused of robbery in an omnibus, and were remanded, but
admitted to bail.
John Page,q a hairdresser, of the Westminster-road, became
surety in 40/. for one, Juhu Norfolk and Mr. Pracluod, of
Wslcot-place, Lambth, being mummies for the other. TM
wooed women had since absoooded, and the sureties asked
for time to pay the money and Bud the delinquents, as
they had not sufficient goods to satisfy the warrants of dis-
tress that bad been issued against them.
Mr. Combo said be should not give them a moment
as they must have known what sort of women they hailed':
In default of paying the 401. he committed Mr. Page to
.prison for two months, and the others for one month each.
