EQUITY COURTS.
Before Vire-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
RE FYNN.—CUETUDY OP INFANTE.—It may be remem-
bered that this case stood over to give the maternal grand.
mother an opportunity of making a proposal for the mainte-
ounce and education of the infants. Counsel now appeared,
and offered on her bthall that she should execu.e a deed,
r•' she would covenant with trustees to provide for the
raw; ---,ace and education of the children durii.g her hie,
or the ',lineally of the youngest —Mr. C. P. Cooper, for Mr.
Fyiin, objected that there was no precedent for such an
order, and that a mere personal engagement, determinable
on the life of the party entering into it, was out such a provi-
sion as the court intruded when the petition stood over for a
proposal to be made. Mr. Fyrin was willing, if his t hildren
were restored ti him, to undertake not to remove them out
of the comity of Middlesex, and to allow them to pass six
hours daily with their mother e Viie-Chan-
cellor, after hearing Mr. Malice in reply, said he must
consider whether he could, upon a mere personal co•
venant, interfere in a case where the circumstances
of personal conduct were only such as existed in the pre-
sent case. He would communicate his decision to the
registrar r n or before Saturday next.
Ex PARTE NICHOLLS v. SALDoIIF.—CEANOMO VENUE
OF liar.—This tr titian prayed th►t a fiat which had been
removed from Exeter to London, on an ex parte application,
might be restored to the former jurisdiction. Contra it warn
contended that the majority of the creditors, in number and
value, desired the prosecution of the fiat to take place in
London, and that this, according to many authorities, was
sufficient ground for changing the venue.—The Vice Chan-
cellor said, that sines the passing of the act 6 & 6 Vict., c.
122, creating the district courts, he had never held this to be
sufficient ground of itself. There must be shown to be an
advantage to the estate, which was only generally deposed
to and was disputed, end not made out in the present came.
If the legislature had thought the ground relied upon suffi-
cient for changing the jurisdiction it might have so expressed
it. The fiat, therefore, most go back to Exeter.

Crvrn Fins: •More the Lord add Baron and a Special Jury.

•
Coin, a. nix NoItiPOLK. RAILWAY COWPADIY.—saw
ac-
tion was brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defend-
ants the sum of 1,0,101., as money had and received by them
to the plaintiff's use upoi! an account stateu.
Serjeant Shee stated the ,sae for the plaintiff. It appeared
that about the time of the railway mania, in 1845 and 6, the
defendants had entertained a pr'iect for making a railway,

in conjunction with their general scheme, from Yarmouth to
Lowestolf,liaiesworth,and other slues; and another company,
called the Waveney Valley Rai fans Conig,ny, were propos-
lieg e line which ran exactly parallel with the one pro-
jected by the defendants. Both schemes went to parliament `.a
1846, mid tysth were rejected, and it then sppinreit that the
supporters of the two companies deemed it pea-
dent to coalesce, and the Waveney Valley Company agreed
to ahandon their line to the Not tolk Railway Company upon
certain conditions, which were embodied into an agreement
on the 26th Oct., 1846. The terms of this agreement ap-
peared to be that the Norfolk Railway Company were to
Wile twenty thousand new shares of 201. each, and the
sceipholders in the Waveney Valley scheme were to be
allowed to take as many of these shares u they pleased,
upon the understanding that thirty shillings were to be paid
upon each share, but credit war to be given the n for forty
phillings, and they were, in addition, to be guaranteed five
per cent. interest either out of the capital or the profits of
the speculation. The bill accordingly went to parliament, •
clause being introduced into it authorising the payment of
the guaranteed interest of five par cent. out of the capital;
hut this clause was struck out in eemmittee. The plaintiff
it appeared had 545ehares in the Waveney Valley seheme, end
he exchanged them for the new shares issued by the deka-
dents, in accordance with their agreement, paying the 30.,
deposit upon each share, and the present action was brought
to recover back 40s. upon each of those shares, amounting to
the sum named in the declaration, the case for the plaintiff
being that he had nu intention to run any risk in connexion
with the new scheme, but that acting upon the faith of the
agreement t ntered into by the defendants, mid in considera-
tion of which the Waveney Valley scheme lad been
abandoned, he had invested bis money in order to secure
the guaranteed interest of five per cent., but as he could
not obtain it he now sought to recover back his mot ey.
—At the close of the ease for the plaintiff, Berjeant Charm II
submitted that this action as for money had and received to
the plaintiff's use could not be sustained. The defendants,
he urged, had done all in their poweu to carry out the agree-
ment, but the legisleture him thought fit to strike out the
clause which they had intreduced for that purpose, and the
plaintiff having signed the parliamentary contract he botonte
lsona fide proprietor in the undertakine, and took tall the
'Wes attending it, and therefore there was no ground for the
present action.—Si tjeant Share and Mr. Chambers, on the
other side, argued that the plaintiff had nothing whatever to
do with the decision of the legislature, that he had advanced
the money upon a specific agreement, which had ni t been
i carried out, and therefore he was entitled to recover back the
money he had paid upon the faith of that agreement.
The Chief Baron Reid he was of opinion that the case
rested upon the terms of the subscription contract entered
into by the plaintiff, and that they had nothing to do with
any previous transactio, a. The terms of that contract were
that parties were about to apply to parliament for an act to
enable them to make • certain branch line of railway, anal
that it was intended to introduce a clause empowering the
p yment of 5 per cent. int, rest; but the parties were not to
have the 5 per cent, under all circumstances, but they were
to have from the net profits, if any were realised, payment
of that amount in preference to other shareholders The
plaintiff had subscribed VAN contract, and he was, therefore,
of opinion that this action for money had aid received was
not maintainable.—The plaintiff was accoruingly nonsuited.

A BAD H Vet loon D.—H. Desbury, a foreigner and professor

teacher of languages. Hie wife, to whom he was married in
January, was left in the metropolis, and she, believing that
he was cohabiting with another woman, proceeded to Chel-
tenham. Sbe went to a house in S.. Philip's-terrace, and
demanded to see her husband (De %bury ) of the woman who

way, and the wife rushed up stairs. When she had got
within three steps of the top the prisoner ran out of a bed-
room ar.d •truck her on the head with great violence
with an earthenware vessel. She fell to the ground in-
tensible, blood flowing from the wound.. A medical gen-
tleman de►cribed the fearful character of her injuries,
and it was only alter the lapse of .eVtr NI weeks that she
was deemed out of (longer. On his way to the a*.ation-
house the prisoner said she was not his wife, hut on the mar
rage certificate being a abibite d he admitted such was the
fact. The prisoner, on being asked for his defence, procee d. d
to address the tow tin rather an energetic style. He Ira d, in
broken English. " 1 have been told that it is my privilege,
as a foreigner, to be tried by a jury composed of half Anglois
and half foreigners. But, gentlemen, we re the choice offered
to me, I would contemn—l would despise it, and would
choose -a jury composed entirely of true Britons." lie then

tion. lie loved her dearly, and would rather die than en-
danger her life.—The jury found him Curtly of an assault
with intent to do grievous bodily harm.—far. Boron Platt

' a mile, and one of whose female servant. had that slay been
married, to commemorate which event Mrs. Bateman's friend
had allowed the married pair to hold a ball in her house in
the ey, nine. About forty persons, amongst whom wre the
prisoner, who was a bobbin turner in the village, were
present. Mrs. Bateman did not go into the dancing-room,
but had occasion when she left to go home, about twelve at
night, to pass the door, and could be observed by the party,
the door being open. Whi it she went down stairs she saw
the prisoner leaving the house ; and it was proved by an-
other witners, that he had quitted the dancing-room about
that time ; sad a short distance from the house the prisoner,
without hat or coat, came out at a field gate into the void,
select( her by the arm, and threw hie ou the ground with
great violence, at the same time saying, "Now, your money
or your life." Mrs. Batt man continued : " I told him I
would give him my in, ney if he would allow me to get
up. lie did allow me but not being able to find
my purse, he said,. threw me in theground. I 'creamed,
and he said, ' If you make a noise 1 shall draw my pistol
and shoot you.' He then put his hand over my mouth to
prevent Inc making a noise. He allowed me to so t up, and
1 then found my purse, which I gave to him, and made an
attempt to return to Suavely, He seized me again, and said,
' That is what you're ader' is it ? I'll take care you don't
go there.' lie afterwards threw me down nosy times on
the road, and abused me worse than before I had riven
him the money. I promised to give him more money if he
would not be rude Ile replied that would not do fur him,
and then dragged me into a field and attempted to violate
my person. Ile threw me down on the ground very often.
1 struggled with him, and at 'entail made my escape, and
ran home very much exhausted." The next day information
was given to the police; and from Mrs. Beteman's &scrip-
thin three persons were apprehended, one of whom was the
prisoner, and she challenged him from amongst them.—The
identity of the prisoner was Or^ ground of defence; but Mrs.
11:itiman's tistiniony was well seem ded by other circum-
at. aces. Early in the evening the prisoner was without
money, and had burrowed 6d. of a friend, and when he re
turned to the dancing-room about one o'clock he paid back
the Gd. and spent some other money ; he had also 4a. 3d.
in his posse lion when token into custody the next day,
which sums corresponded with the money stolen. The purse
alto was found conceded in prisoner's workshop, and nis
shirt-sleeves ware covered with road mud.—Verdict, Guilty.
Sentenced to be transported for life.
FORGERY RV • CLEROYMAN.—The Rey. W. R. Robin•
son, aged 39, was indicted for forging a bill of exchange,
with intent to defraud the Rev. F. Whalley, incumbent of
Old Hutton. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The pri
goner is a son of the late Rev. Dr. Robinson, of Clifton, and
for some time prelim, to committing tke offence had been
without employment, and it seemed that he was a man of
intemperate h ibits. On the 17th of May list Mr. Whalley
met with the poisoner at a peer house in Old Hutton, where
he had gone to transact some business. He was an entire
stranger to him, but he intreduc: d himself as the late Dr.
Bethinsm's son, and the incumbent of Mollerstang. Ulti-
mately, the weather being wet at the time, Mr. Whalley
hospitably invited him to his house to stay over night, which
Invitation he accepted. The next day he left for Kirk 4
Lonsdale, saying he had important business there. On the
morning of the 19• b he breakfasted at the Royal Ilcrel, and
afterwards sent the landlord's son for a stamp for 3.51,
payable on demand, and a 2s. 6d. bill stamp was procured.
In the course of a short time he went to the Lancaster
Banking Company's Branch Bask, accompanied by a clerk
of Mr. Francis Pearson. solicitor, and presented a document,
of which the following is a copy : " May 19th, 1848, Messrs.
Glyn and Co., pay to the Rev. William Richardson Robin-
son, en demand, the sum of thirty-five pounds. F. Whalley,
Incumbent of Old Rattan, near Kendal. £35. (Stamp,
2s. Gd.)." Simultaneously with the presenting of this docu-
ment, be produced a letter which purported to be written
by Mr. Whalley to Mr. Pearson, requesting that gentleman,
or a clerk, to accompany Mr. Robinson to the bank, " that
there might be no disappointment." Mr. Pearson was from
home. The clerk in the bank being unacquainted with
either of the parties, and Mr. Whalley having no account
there, refused to cash the order, and, suspecting that all was
not tight, shortly afterwards gave information to the police.
An officer went to the hotel, and asked the prisoner to give
up the order he bad produced at the bank. lie hesitated ;
but on the officer persisting, be took it out of his pocket and
attempted to throw it into the fire. The policeman got pos
session of it, as well as the note addressed to Mr. Pearson,
and the prisoner then said " he had done the deed : he had
committed a forgery and would give himself up," and when
before the magistrates made a similar admission of his
guilt.
The defence was, that the prosecutor and prisoner had
bet n drinking together, and that the former, when intoxi-
cated, had authorised prisoner to write the letter and order.
but Mr. Whalley denied the truth of the insinuation.—His
lordship thought the defence set up aggravated the case.
Verdict, Guilty. Sentenced to be transported for 14 years.

BTAnntNO.--D. Duckworth, 30, was indicted fur stab`•ing
David Hargreaves, at Blackburn, in the month of August,
1847. The case was postponed from the last assizes in con-
sequence of the absence of a material witness, who had gone
to Spsin.—Mr. J. Pollock conducted the prosecution ; Mr.
eveubrey defended the prisoner.—lt appeared that on the
ing of the 23rd of Anglia, 1847, a dispute arose between
the parties, who are both 'veiling men, respecting a debt
which prisoner alleged to be due to him rem the prosecutor.
From high words they got to scuffling, in the course
of which Duckworth took a penkede out of his
pocket, and struck prosecutor on the back of the left
hand wi'h it, causing an incised wound, which ib prived
him of the use of the hand for three weeks.—A witness,
named Lever, swore to seeing the prisoner t•ke the knife out
of his pocket, and strike Hargreaves with it, who inams di-
ately asked him how he could find it in his heart to cut a
man in that way.—ln cross-examination Lever admitted that
the prisoner was in the habit of carrying an open pen-knife
in his hand.—The defence let up was that the wound was
inflicted accidentally.—The jury acquitted the prisoner of
the felony, and found him guilty of an seasult.—The
learned Judge, after acquiescing in the propriety of the vet-
diet,
strongly reprobated the cowardly practice of drawing a
knife on en unarmed opponent, and sentenced the prisoner
to three months' imprisonment and hard laoour in Preston
House of Correction.
EXTUNSIVE EIIIIEZZLEMENT.—Anthony Boucher, 31, waif
charged with stealing 5 cwt. of iron na I, bed's, and other

tion, Mr. J. P. Cubbett was retained for the defence.—The

coming reduced in circumstances entered the employ of the
prosecutors as a journeyman. He had been with them about
a year and a half win n a quantity of iron being

nanie of Oardner, whoacted as " striker" for Boucher, stated
I that he had frequently seen the latter take pieces of iron,
, each as nuts and bolts, in his pockets, to going to meals or
keying work. A search-warrant war accordingly pro-
cured, when upwards of 5 cwt. of wrought iron, including
bolts, bars, braces, screwetoeks,&c , was f .und secreted in the
I garret and cellar of Boucher's house. A number of witnesses
, were ea led to prove the identity of the articles.—His lord•
! ship, in summing up, said if the jury believed the evidence of
