COMMITTAL OF A CAPTAIN OP THE RIFLE BRIGADE
roe. Fetovv.—An unusual sensation was produced at Bris-
tol on Saturday, in conrquence of its being understood that
a captain of the rid• brigade stationed at the barracks at
Hortield, near that city, had been apprehended, and would
be examined before the magistrates at their fitting at the
council-house, up-.n a charge of felony. It would seem that
numerous complaints had flees made to the magistrates by
persons who had had their bell handles, knockers, and door-
plate, stolen, or the palisades in front of their houses torn
down, ai.d as thole outrages were most commonly per-
petrated in the line of road leading to the barracks,
suspicion fell on the privates of the corps and their friends,
and a memorial was presented to the magistrates for
the county of Gloucester, at their hut quarter sessions,
praying them to establish a police-station in the neighbour-
hood of the barracks. In consequence of this the commander
of the brigade has nightly sent out intro* and. as the out-
rages continued to be occasionally perpetrated, the police re-
ceived directions to keep a sharp look-out. Tnii order was
complied with, acd, on Friday night, it led to the apprehen-
sion of Capt. John Peter Need, and the Hon. Class. Church-
ill, officers of the brigade, both of whom were lodged
for the night in the station-house, and we-e on Saturday
taken before the magistrates fur examinatioa. One of them
was habited somewhat in the garb of a navigator, and
the other as a gentleman. There were two charges
of wit ul triaps-s preferred against the two ; and
Captain Ne d was further charged with stealing a
door knoisker, the prope•ty of Mr. R. hPDonald, a wholesale
tea-dealer, residing in Queen square. It app aced from the
evidence of polite-constable Davis, No. 63 of the ceatrai diet-
sion, that at '2 o'clock that morning, while on duty in Water-
street, St. Paul' he raw the prisoners, Capt. Need and the
Hon. Mr. Churchill, and another who escspsd, under eir-
cue:wanes' which excited his suspicious, and induced him to
watch their movements. Hs saw them go to the house, No.
2, Cave-street, Pattland-aquara, where they pulled doers
the iron railings, after which they proceeded to the residence
of M. Phillipart, a professor of the French language, at the
corner of the square, where they pulled a Inutile dlsr-plate
down. The constable, after seeing them commit several
offences, seized hold of Captain Need and Mr. Churchill
and conveyed them to the station-house. When there he
searched them, and found in Capt Nee.i's coat-pockets part
of a brass door knocker. From informatiin he afterwards
received he was induced to go into Queen-square, and ear
mine the premises there, and at the house No. 12, occupied
by Mr. M'Donald, he found that a portion of the knocker
had been stolen, and upon fitting that found opus Captain
Need to what re-.:aimed on the door it fitted exactly. The
Mayor said it had hen pained the matfistrates to hear com-

VISDIT TXa TUKtaxwbox ACT.—The Vice Chancellor de-
livered jodement in thine/milt a question was raised
under the Thelluseon Act. It appeared that an indentere:a
settlement was waited is 11lay, 1817, by. the Countess of
Roselyn, for the purpose of askew • provision for Tryphosa
Jame Campbell. the wife of Jams Campbell, of Emsworth ;
and by the said Lodestar* Lady Rnodyn directed that two
gentlemen, appointed trustees, should stand possessed of the
sum of tO2I, beak annuities (which bad been transferred
into their names), upon trust during the joint lime of the
said James Campbell and Tryphosa Campbell, to receive the
dividends Ole the said bank annuities as the same should
Write due, sad invest the same is the purchase of like amen-
ities in their Lames ; and immediately after the
daemon of the said James Campbell, if his wife
amid be then liviag, upon trust to pay her and her
soaps dininF her life, the interest and dividends which
should from time to time accrue, doe em well on the original
Nam of 691/. as on the accumulations which should_be made
thereon during the joint lives of the said James Campbell and
his said wife, and alter the decease of Tryphosa Campbell,
whether the same should happen in the lifetime of her said
husband or after his decease, to stand powered of the capital
011ie said Bank annuities upon trust foe Charlotte Camp.
bell, the daughter of the said James Campbell and his wile,
en her attaining 21 or day of marriage; bat if the said Char-
lotte Campbell should die under age or unmarried then upon
trust for the said Lady Roeslyn, her executors, administers-
tore or assigns. Lady Ronlys died in May, 1828, sad
James Campbell died in October, 1847, leaving his wife sur-
viving him. A petition was now presented by Trypkosa
Campbell, praying that toe saki sum of 6921., with the secs-
eanlations, amounting together to 1,9191. 19s.' might
be transferred to her apmi the tenets of the deed of 1817.
An objection was raised to this petition on hate]: of Baron
Wrotteeley, as the legal personal representative of the said
Lady Roselyn, under the 'Thalami% Act, 39 & 40 Geo.
e. 11l ; sad it was contended that he was "stilled to each
part of the accumulated fund as had arisen from the dia.
dmds received since the death of Lady &mays.
The Vice. Chancellor said in this case the ;tuition had
arisen for the Met time upon a deed, but it appeared to him
ea reading the butgaajle of the Thelluseon Act, that the
same sort of construction mast be applied in a deed as had
always been applied to a will. There was nothing in the
set which would absolutely destroy
.any provision intended
to be merle which was in form an ;seem of what the law
allowed. The wards of the statute were, " that no person
or persons should, after the passing of the act, by any deed
or deeds, amender or surrenders, will, codicil, or otherwise
howsoever, settle:or dispose of any real or pummel property
to and in such manner that the meta, Meats, profits, or pro-
duce thereof should be wholly or partially accumulated for
any longer term than the lite or lives of any such grantor or
settlor, or the term of 21 years from the death of such
grantor. settlor, devisor, oe testator." Is this ease Lady Roes-
lyn had transferred a ram of stock into the Desoto( trustees
who were to stand posesesed of the same, and to accumulate
the dividends daring the joint lives of the persona Lamed.
Lady Rosalyn died in May, 1828, sad the predecessor of the
two lives died is October, 1847. The question was whether
the dizectioa to accumulate was wholly void, or whether the
oesetrueties, fee the first time applied by Sir William Grant,
is the elm of " Grifithe v. Fete, •' and afterwards confirmed
by Lord £ldos,might he applied to a cam of this sort Upon
reeling over the words of the statute, and the obeervatioas of
Lord Eldon, his opinion was that the direction should be
taken to be good for as much of the joint lives as expired
during the life of Lady Roselyn. The effect of this would be
that the socamslations during the life of Lady Rosalyn would
go upon the traits of the deed of 1817, and the rest of the
seatatilatlese hem the death of lady Rosalyn to the death
id James Campbell would go to Lady Rmalyn's personal

Dawns r. Srarutz.--ffiestuto LOME MM.—This was
a wit instituted by a hothead sad wife to set ride, en the
ground of misrepresentation sad fraud, a deed executed by
the wife before her merriage. The deed purputed to be a
settlement of a debt at 600 f. Noe to the female plaintiff from
the defendant Stapler) upon trod, to pay her the interest for
life, and to bold the principal r< her death on trust for the
daughters of the defendant Stapler and two relatives of the
female plaintiff. The cue stated by the bill was, that the
female plaintiff, who could neither read nor write, was frau-
dulently led to believe that the instrument we. a gag.
to her from the defendant Staple,. A further ease tea by
the Ina was, that at the time of the exication of the deed the
marriage had been agreed upon between the plaintiffs to the
knowledge of the defendant Staple., and that the deed
was eaetuted without the knowledge of the husband,
an was therefor; void m a fraud on his marital rights.
'lhe circumstances of the Iramaction are fully stated in the
judgment. The case was sawed at great length some days
sine, by Mr. Knoell sad r. Nalder for the plaintiffs, Mr.
Bacon and Mr. Selwyn for the defendant Staple*, and Mr.
Renshaw for parties interested under the impeached In-
strewn.

which writ considerable ; for it is to be ga-
thered from tie evidence, that she could neither read

Mn Molten, and, on that event, quitted her place, bat
not for a long time. The husband soon died. She then re-
turned to service, and continued with Mr. Ashby in the same
meanly down to the period able death, which hapnaed in
the mooch of December, 1845, when it appears that he had
made her his executrix, and also his We residuary legatee.

although a woman, she might change her mind, and although

he did not know that Mr. Ganes was her solicitor, bored
what she had steed to him as to that gentleman gong to
London to prove Mr. Ashley's will.—His Honour onstlased
as follows .—Now, if it is in proof that this woman received
any advice or assistance oaths 'ulna of the deed before her
execution of it, that proof is affirmed only by Mr.
Plata's testimony just read, and whether that affords
any at all I need scarcely say. What course the
burner would have taken It Mr. Ganes had been
courted cannot perhaps be said, but as :matters were
it mesas plain enough that whether from ignorance,
from irepacity, from negligence, or from bad intention,
upon the pert of one or both of the two scum, of whom one
or both county owed her the duty of sins and protection
in it, she executed the deed without such advice and without
such peotsetios as 'ha ought to have had ; and that it is
impossible that the court can view the truessetion with ap.
probation, or with any conlideace of being able wifely to
"scribe to the want of atteatina, of knowledge, of capacity,
or only of delicacy, the manner in which this very ignorant
and not very wise woman was handled. I may observe that
compliments to her capacity for brims. which an paid by
the Staple' anew's, seem to be confined to those docu-
ments, sad are not diecrersble in the evidence ; although
if Mrs. Janis did tell Mr. Genes thatGriggs was
shoos' alwap drunk, seek an affirm of confidence during
• quarrel between the two ladies ought not to go to the ac-
count of either party. His Honour then read th• evidence
of Mr. Pearce, a negese at Peterborough, and Mr.
Ganes, the latter knowhom said that Mrs. Origp was
wanting is ordinarywledge ignorant of the ordinary
transactior of life, easily infloirard, and very illiterate;
that she could neither read son write, and would readily
, fall into the opinion of others; that a common expression of
' Mn. Griggs, when speaking of Mr. Staples, was, .. He is
1 really the only hind I have lan tell my mind to," and
that she used always, befogs awning to anything, to say she

had been proved in the cause, that the plaintiff, Thome

BUNDY V. De Bonou.—Dentveith or AN ATTOI-
- BILL At TIC OFFICII OF A RAILWAY COMPANY.—
This was ea udon on as attorcey's bill tried beton Chief
;Mime woe., when a question arm upon the mond pies,
why la subehmeo stated that the plaintiff bad not deliver*
to the ilehndamt a signed bill a rociatit before action
Meiebt, es uee4red by the Attorneys and Solicitors Act,
7 t 111 Viet., h 75. It appeared the plaintiff had sated es
for the Oxford, Theme, High Wickham, and Us-
way Company, and that the defendant now
=MI be made liable tcP Mims dose lor the company
mum the rimes of the provisional committee. The jury
ganef eglinth as Asked,* as to his missal liability ; but
wee osmionffail ea his behalf that the leaving of the bill at
fir, eseepailornee, Meorptewtreet, was •not sufficient
eiwzgethan big no evidence that the company
Matioued to exist at the time, and that therefore be was
entitled to a verdict upon the issue raising that Toth*.
In reform* thereto, it was shown that the scheme as to
which expenses in preparing a bill for parliament had been
incurred proved abortive ; fart, no demi= being paid on
the 6th of January, 1846, when they became due, the project
was given up, so that the business of the company in fur-
therance thereof had come wholly to an end Nome mat*
before September, 1845, when the plaintiff's bill wee left
with a servant at the office, enclosed in an envelope directed
to the provisional committee. A brass plate upon the door
with the company's name upon it bad not then born re-
moved. Upon *see Mts a ver..iet was entered for the
plalatiff, leave being reserved to the defendant to move to
enter a nonsait or a verdict foe him.

the delivery at the office was a sped delivery,

by which it is enacted, for the purpose of giving an imports-
aity to have it taxed, an aftorney's bill must be deliver* or

shod*, one month before action breadth The albs of the
company it was mid, was in this instance to be regemlui es the
pleas of Imam* of the defendant.—Mr. MouteasChmeibses,
Q.C., and Mr. Maynard, in 'Lippert of the tile, urged that
this was not like the case of a corporation or a pertmenalin
and that the presumption which might arise from the ow
Ilimance of the brass plate on the door, was elm* cep
tired by the evidence, which distinctly showed that the mew
patty had ceased to have any Mine* to transact. The oe*
pang was, in point of fact, defunct ; and, therefore, the ell
office maid net he said to be the place of business of the
party sought to be charged within the meaning of the statute.
Chief Justice Wilde. in delivering judgment, said the
question was one of considerable importance, whether the

Mr. Joules Oshawa e 1 !d his regret in being obliged
le Mae from the Loa Ma Judi* The question to be
deGermined was simply thii, wee the Aloe of the company
the business of the party sought to be charged The
Esamdais in his opinion, was not charged la his private
as a member of the committee. It was not because
rhiesUerite had proved abortive that the Goespany had
ceased to exist. The duties of the parties towards
the public bad not ceased, for they had incurred
debts; and it was not competent for them to
renounce or repudiate the schwas as abandoned until those
debts were paid. As regarded the defendant, therefore, the
business of the company was not at an end. In his oMnioa
the old* of the company was the place of business of the de-
fendant, who was sought to be charged for a debt as a mem-
ber of that company, end the requirement of the statute mad,
in his view of the case, been complied with.—Mr. Justice
Mauls speed with Mr. Justice Coltman. With regard to
the improbability of the bill coming into the hands of defen-
dent hen leR at the office, such improbability arose through
his own fault.—Mr. Justice Williams concurred with the
Lied Chief Jaetica.—The court, therefore, being divided in
opinion, the rale became a dropped rule, sin
td verdict

It was intimated the court would be willing to take,

guide ilimimed apes eadavits. It appeared the defend-
ant, who wee a surgeon sad gourd praditioner, reeidin at

Mai, lay the Od seiM, who was a clerk in the Custom house
at a fairy ef Ifffil. a year. He had been in the Custom-
house fee award years, and had married the
daughter of • farmer named Taylor, who lived in the
neWibourimied of Met& The plaintiff proved his mar-
riage by two whams, who appeared to be strangers to the
parties, end ill the maw= of the cause not one witness inti-
mate with the pidatiff and his wife, or who could speak to
the terms up= while they lived together, was called. It
was proved that the pleiatiff had grown up sisters and a
female cosh who were in the habit of visiting him after his
marriage; yet MS sae of Om was called.. No female w it-
nem was pies= be the box who unlit describe the plaintiff's
habits orbs demeanour towards his wife. His father (a re-
tired wine merchant, living at Chalon) was examined, but
ke visited him so mikes, oat knew so little of him,
thattha he
could not my when the plainiff took the benefit of I-
voles= Coed, nor where he went after he had been ewe-
add by the Cestoat-house authorities for becoming an in-
solvent. It was opened by Mr. Sellout She" that the de-
fendant had been celled on to attend the plaintiff's family
last May, and although the alleged cease of action bed
sot ocean= until the 7th of September, when the plaintiff's
wife wrote a note to the defendant, there was only one
parson, who bad ever seen the defeadant, examintd. That
witness, who was a servant at the Portland Coffee. house, be
' Oxford-strut, stated that about six o'clock on the 7th of
September, a Ludy asked far a bed at the coffee-house for
herself sad her husband. The lady remained and about
10 o'clock a gentleman came. They pared the night
together, sad the gentleman went away at 6 o'clock next
morning. At 11 o'clock he returned, and west off with the
lady in • cab. Oa the following Friday whiter was
taken tithe =diem, of the defendant, whom she identified
as the gentleman who pared the night with the lady at the
(toffees heroes. The wham said she bad never seen the de-
fendant before, but she undertook to identity him at the
, trial. It was proved, on the MN examined= of a person
I named Robinson, who had been in the defendant's employ-
ment and dieeharged, that shortly before the trial, the plain-
tiff applied to him to =ow= a witness, Robinson saM be
could not, as he had no clothes. They, ho '
wever appeared

rence is question, they got drank together en gin and beer,

Pratt paid U. ed. for the bed =forehead, or he would
not have got it. A mod remarkable feet was, that the plas-
tid's niece, who was present at the trial, and aocompeiried

covery of eemmeasseisa for the wounded feelings ef a
