Before the Lord Chief Baron.
DAVIDSON T. ASKEW AND 011111/3.—This Wl3 an ISMS out
of Chancery, directed by the Vice-Chancellor, to try whether
a certain paper writing was the will and testament of one
John Davidson, late of Ridley Hall, in this county. Mr.
Knowles, Mr. Hill, and Mr. } enwick were for the plaintiff ;
Mr. Martin and Mr. Robinson for the defendants. The cir-
cumstances out of which the present proceedings arose were
ratter singular. Mr. Davidson having died in 1842, Mrs.
Davidson proved his will, and took possession of certain
estates, which were left to her under it, to the exclusion
of the defendants, his heirs-at-law. No question was made
as to the validity of the will until the year 1815, when legal
proceedings were taken against one of the tenants on the,
estate, which required the will to be proved on the trial.
One of the attesting witnesses was dead, and tho other, for-
merly
a servant of Mr. Davidson, was called. From thsl
statement, however, which be made, it appeared that the
witnesses had put their names first, and that the testator
signed last. The result was, that proceedings in Chancery
were taken, which led to the preetnt issue.—Mr. Knowles,
in opening the case, stated that the three defendants were
cousins of the testator, who died possmes t of considerable
property, in January, 1842. About a month before that
time he had given directions to Mr. Adamson, a solicitor
of high respectability in Newcastle, to prepare his will, and
on the 21st of January Mr. Adamson forwarded to him two
copies of the will, it being intended that the testator should
execute both. and these copies were accompanied
with a letter of directions as to the mode in which they
should be executed. The testator died on the 29th, and
after his death both the wills were found together Inapieniwg
each to be signed
El 'oft,
testator and attested by a pates
of the name of l ' and John Rogerson, a servos* nil
the testator. It would appear that on the 24th of January,
Mr. Elliott, who was a surgeon, sad in attendance ass
the testator, dined with him. After dinner the servant,
Rogerson, was called into the room, and there would, he
thought, be no doubt that the testator signed both copies of
names will
a,s andwitne thatmes. Mr.
Mr. Elliott was Elliott and Rogerson both put their
now dead. Had he
been alive this inquiry would never have been required, but
it was now, he understood, to be alleged by the other wit.
neer, Rogerson, that the testator did not sign the will until
after the witnesses had put their names to the attestation.
i He did not impute any dishonesty to that witness, or any
intention to state other than the truth, bat be believed the
jury would be satisfied from the whole facts of the ease that
on that point the witness was mistaken. In the first place,
Mr. Davidson was a person of education, with a knowledge
of the world, and unlikely to have taken a course so absurd
as that of requiring the witness to attest a signature which
had not then been made. Mr. Elliott, the surgeon, also,
whose name stood first, was not likely to have fallen into ouch
an error any more than Mr. Davidson. The very form of
attestation to which they had appended their names pre-sup-
posed the testator's signature, inasmuch es it declared that
the will was signed, scaled, and delivered in their presence,
thereby attesting and declaring a fact which, in the case sup-
posed for the defendant, had not yet occurred. The state-
ment, however, of the witness Rogerson, whom it was impe-
rative on the plaintiff tocall, would probably correspond with
that which be had already stated. He would say, that
after dinner he was called into the room ; that Mr. David-
son and Mr. Elliott were there, and that there was a paper
on the table; that Mr. Davidson told Rogerson he had been
risking his will and wanted Rogersen to attest it; that Mr.
Elliott signed first, the witness next. and that the testator
then, and then only, put his name. The jury, however, not-
, withstanding this positive testimony, would, he felt satisfied,
think that Rogerson was mistaken. He was, even according
to his own statement, very nervous and confused on the occa-
sion, and attaching, as persons in his class of life often do,
some mysterious Importance to the making of a will, was a
good deal "glutted and alarmed. What more likely, then,
that he, being a person of this temperament, never having
attested anything of the kind before, his attention ant re-
called to the particulars until three years after, should have
mistaken the sequence of events, and imagined the testator
had signed last. There was a circumstance in the case
which much increased the probability of this hypothesis,
and accounted at the same time for the mistake into which
the witness had fallen. There would be nn doubt left on
the minds of the jury that two copies of the will were then

executed. Two were sent by Mr. Adamson, the dates being
left in blank. After his death two copies were found to-
, gether, both tearing date the 24. h of January. filled in by
the testator himself. Both purported to be attested by Mr.
Elliottl and Rogerson, and, on comparing the two copies,
there mould be no doubt these were the genuine signature* eel
these two persons. Rogerson, however, would state that he
bad no recollection whatsoever of any second copy of the
will being executed. If, then, Rogerson was mistaken in
this, as beyond all doubt he was, how readily might he be
mistaken on the other point, one leas likely to fix itself in
his memory? Obviously his mistake arose from confounding'
the one will with the other. Mr. Davidson had, no doubt,
eigned one and that bad been attested. He then signed the
other, so that in truth Ra4erson would see the testator sign
his name to one copy alter the witnesees had put their
names to the first, and he having forgotten the fact of his
own attestation of the second, the impression bad been left
on his mind that the signature of the testator was the last
affixed. Mr. Adamson was called to prove the fact of sending
the two copies to Mr. Davidson, and the finding of them
among his papers, executed alter his death —Robert Elliott
proved the signature of Mt. Elliott, his father, u attesting
witness. John Rogerson was then called, and anted that he
is now waiter at the Turf Hotel, Newcastle. Was formerly
in Mr. Davidson's service. On the 24th of January, 1842,
Mr. Elliott, Mrs. Davidson, and two ladies, of the names of
Coates and Barnes, dined with Mr. Davidson. After dinner,
somewhere about seven o'clock, the bell was rung. Wit-
ness answered it. Mr. Davidson was et one corner of the
table, on which was a paper. Mr. Elliott was at the table
also. Mr. Davidson said, "This is my will, and I want you
and Mr. Elliott to witness it." Mr. Elliott took up the pen
add signed his name. Witness took the pen and said, " I
am very nervous about this matter." Mr. Davidson said a
man was not to die because he made his will. Witness
observed that his awn name was badly signed because he
ors, so nervous. Wu nervous. Had never attested a will
before. Mr. Elliott said it would do very well. Mr. David-
son then put his name to the will. All looked at the name
afterwards, and Mr. Davidson said it was not like a dying
noses bandirsiting. Witness did not put his name to any
ether Withal, oceuion. This (the attestation te the
Is wet his handwriting.—Evidence was they ad-
duced to prove that the signature appended to the second was
in Rogerson's handwriting.—Mr. Martin submitted there
was no case to go to the jury.—His lordship thought
to ma% on which a bill of exceptions was tendered.—
WagEia then addressed the jury for the defendants,
mewl* that it was far the plaintiff to snake out that Mr.
Davidson signed before the witnesses, and that the attesting
witnesses called had, in a plain, straightforward, and con-
sistent story, alleged Mr. Davidson bad not done so. Is
answer to this, there was only the suggestion that Mr.
Elliott and Mr. Davidson must have known the testator
should sign first, because it was a matter of common and
usual knowledge. That it was not so, the very numerous eases
in which wills had been ckuestioned on that very ground
showed conclusively. In this very ease, indeed, it was con-
tended to be the law that the execution of the will was good
though the testator signed last. lie submitted that the evi-
dence was all in favour of the defendants, and that they
were entitled to the verdict.—H is Lordship summed up with
-vest minuteness, and the jury, after a few minutes delibera-
... found a verdict for the plaintiff, confirming the will.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Oaxmax, AT:GUST 2.
The assizes for the county of Rutland began and concluded
this day before Lord Denman, Mr. Byron Rolfe having
proceeded to Coventry to open the commission for the
northern division of the county of Warwick. For Rutland-
shire theme wee an unusually large calendar, there being
twelve prison. rs for trial. Among them was the case of •
young unmarried female accused of murder, in neglecting
to give proper sustenance to her child. The grand jury
ignored the bill, and the charge under the coroner's ingot-
lotion was not proceeded with.
Ittor.—John Morton was indicted for a riot and assault.
It would seem that between six and seven hundred labourers
are employed on the line of railway between Syston and
Peterborough. Of this number come were Irishmen. The
English labourers took offence at the fact of their brethren
of the " Emerald Isle " being employed, and on the 15th of
July last the prisoner and others committed an assault upon
some seventeen Irish labourers, driving them from their
employment into the neighbouring village of Wing.
—Lord Denman in summing IT said no persons had
a right to interfere with the right of the contractors
to emoy whomsoever they pleased. The a,aault in
' question was unjustifiable, and should be punished.—The
jury returned a verdict of Guilty.—The prisoner was then
sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour,
and at the expiration of that time to enter into his own re-
cognisance, to keep the peace for five years. It may he men-
tioned that 17 Irishmen ran away, and were so frightened
that they have never been heard of since.—Lucca Sietens
was also indicted for a riot. This prisoner was also one of the
English labourers employed on the Syston and Peterborough
line, and was concerned in a second attack nude upon some
Irish labourers on the 15th of July. The English labourers
were armed with pickaxes and bludgeons, and succeeded in
driving • party of Irish from their work, to which they have
never ucce returned.—Guilty. A similar sentence to the
last was passed upon this prisoner.
The assizes for the county of Rutland concluded about
in the afternoon.

NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Citzsran, Au° 2.
The business of the assizes for this county commenced to
day before Mr. Justice Mauls and Mr. Justice Cresswell.
The cause list contains only nine common and two special
jury cases, the former of which were all disposed of before
the rising of the court, and possessed no public interest. In
the Crown Court Mr. Justice Cresswell presides. The
calendar contains only 40 prisoners, some of whom are
accused of very grave offences, including a charge spinet
a mother for the murder of her child, and a respectable
hotel-keeper from Birkenhead for setting fire to his house.
ROBBIRT AT ALDERLEY.—Isaac Bully, aged 23, was
charged with stealing a box of jewels from Alderley Hall,
the property. of Lord Stanley. The prisoner had been em-
ployed to paint in the hall, when he availed himself of an
opportunity to steal the jewellery, which he offered for sale
ate shot is Manchester ; but he was suspected, given into
custody, inquiries made, and the robbery discovered. The
property was identified by Lady Stanley. Sentence deferred.
The other cases were devoid of public interest.

POLICE. v
_ESTEADAT.
BOW-STREET.—ROBPIRY AT TRE EARL or BAR-
RINOTON'IL—Two sweeps, named Wiltshire and Roche,
were re-examined charged with stealing • variety of pro-
perty, including • gold watch and appendages, from
the mansion of the Earl of Harrington, in Whitehall-
gardens, the particulars of which have already appeared.—
About three o'clock on the morning of the 20th July his
lordship's porter was awoke by two sweeps, who knocked at
the window and said they were sent by their employer, Mrs.
White, to sweep the chimreys, upon which he opened the
gate for them and again went to bed. They were not
expected or seen by any of the other servants, but about
four o'clock, the gate being cautiously opened, u soldier of
the Grenadier Guards, who was on sentry at the rear of
Whitehall chapel, saw two sweeps, one of whom he was
positive was Roche, come nut carrying a bag heavily laden,
of which he gave information when he heard that a robbery
had been committed. The constable identified the other
prisoner, who inquired of him the hour previous to the time
spoken of by the porter.—lnspector Russel said that another
robbery had also bees committed, at the residence of Lord
Temple:lsere, under similar circumstances, and requested
that the prisoners might be remanded, as none of the pro-
perty had been traced.—The prisoners were then ordered to
be brought up again on Thursday week.
CLERKENWELL —Mu RDER.—John Ramsay, who Das
been several times examined at this court, charged, on his
own confession, with the wilful murder of Mr. H.
was, after a reiteration of much of the evidence given on
former occasion., fully committed for trial.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.—Murtoenors Ass kULT.
—Thomas Connellan was finally examined, charged with
baying broken in the skull of Thomas Connellan with a
poker. The complainant was related to the prieuner. The
complainant was at No. 3, John street on the 2nd of last
June, when some dispute arose between the prisoner and
himself. About four hours afterwards, the complainant
was standing in the passage looking towards the area,
when the prisoner came behind him and gave him
a tremendous blow on the head, which deprived him of
his senses. Its was taken to Middlesex when
It was found that the boom of his skull had bees
broken, and a Imp fragment was removed. Thames
Connellan's deposition was taken in the hospital by
Mr. Bingham, as the man was considered to be in great
dissitcr. The substance of his deposition tallied with the
belbesestated particulars.—Mary Moran said she saw the
strike the complainant with a poker on his bead.
tilirmplainant fell into her arms senseless, and covered
bkod. The prisoner ran out of the house and made
r...2...Maps.—Mr. J. Dixon, house surgeon of Middlesex
said, on examination it was found that the skull
soy in, and that a portion of the bone was pressing
ea the brain. It was found necessary to cut away this per-
don of the skull. The complaisant for some time was in
went danger.—The prisoner declined to say anything in
defence. and was fully committed.
MARYLEBON E.—Con stirrer. FOR Munnza.—Eiim-
beth Cornwall was finally examined, chaßirged with bay-
ing murdered her male infant. —Kra. ch, whose hus-
band is landlord of the Windsor Castle public-house,
Albany-street, Regent's Park, deposed that the pri-
es/Mr had been m her service six months, and that
em Friday, the 23rd ult., she complained of spasms.
She went to bed, when a doctor was sent for, and on
his being shown into her Too n witness heard a strange sort
of noise. The prisoner, on being asked, said it was nothing
but the water running into tho butt in the yard. She went
about her work next day, and on the following Thurs-
day witness, from something which she had ascertained, told
her that she had bad a child. She admitted it, saying that
she had given a man 51. to take it away and bury it. On
Friday, the 23rd, prisoner had admitted to witness that the
child was born alive, and that it was under the bed and
making a noise while the doctor end witness were with her.
She was asked if she bad provided herself with
any baby linen, and she replied that elle bad not.—
Sergeant Neeld, of the 1) division, said that on Saturday,
24th ult., he was sent for to the house of Mr. Rich, where
he saw the prisoner, who acknowledged that she had deli-
vered herself, sod that she afterwards proceeded down to the
water-closet w ith the baby, which, by the aid of a stick, she
forced under the soil, from whence it was taken by witness.
Witness added that he took the prisoner into custody, and, as
she was not in a fit state of health to be locked up in a cell at
the station, he conveyed her and the infant to the week-
house.—The prisoner, who bad nothing to say, was com-
mitted to take her trial for the murder.

log that they had sznaggled articles in their possession, he
stopped the vehicle, aad called upon the drieer, in the
Queen's name, to arid in !securing the men. The prisoner
attempted to escape by jumping out of the cab, when he was
seised by the officer and the driver, the latter of whom held
the prisoner by the collar, and in the struggle to get away be
pulled cut a long chimp-knife, sad tried to sever that part of
his °oat which the cabassa held in his hand. In the attempt
he drew the knife actor the back of the driver's hands, one
of which he cut severely. A policeman coming up, he war
at g u
lenth secred, bet his associate made his escape in the
midst of the confusion that occurred. The officer added,
that on examining the cab he found a sack. con-
taining a large quantity of compressed tobacco, parked in
had, which he seized, and bad the prisoner conveyed to the
station-house. The cabman, who had his hand bandaged up
confirmed the officer's statement relative to theeircumstances
attending the seizure, and also described the manner in
which he was wounded on the occasion. He, however, said
that he did not think the prisoner maimed him intentionally.
The witness added, that since the transaction took place he
was incapacitated from going to work, and that, as the
wound was of a serious nature, it was uncertain when he
would be in a condition to follow his occuration.—The pri-
soner said he pleaded guilty to the charge of having smug-
gled tobacc• in his pcssession.—Mr. Cottnigham felt it to be
his duty to impose the highest penalty en the defendant
which the law allowed him, namely, 1001., and to be
imprisoned until such fine was paid : that with re-
meet to the other charge, that of inflicting a wound on
the cabmen's hand, as it was that person's impression, an
well as the officer's, that it wss not intentionally done, he
(the magistrate) would not, at present at ell events, adjudi-
cate upon that charge.—The prisoner was then committed to
gaol, where he said he must remain, having no means of
paying such a heavy penalty.
THAMES.—ASBAI:LTINO A WITIL—Wm. Brunsma7e
was charged with assaulting and wounding his wife Cathe-
rine, whereby her life was now in danger.—A policeman
stated that on Monday afternoon, as he was passing a house
in Gloucester-street, Commercial-road, his attention was
arrested by loud screams and cries of " murder." On going up
to the room whence the cries proceeded. he found the unfor-
tunate woman covered with blood, which was flowing pro-
fusely from a large gash in her forehead. The woman said
her husband had done it, and that he frequently ill-used her.
The poor woman was immediately conveyed to the London
Ilespi,tal and her weenies dressed, but the surgeon said it
would be some days before she would be sufficiently reco-
vered to come forward and give evidence.—The prisoner, in
his &time, declared thst his wife was in the habit of gettiag
drunk and vending his money. lie gave her 11. Ils. W. on
Saturday, night, and she spent it all but 3e. 4d. the same
night.—Mr. Yardley said that he should remand the case till
the wife was able to appear.—The prisoner was then removed
to the cells.
WOOLWICH. EaREzZLIMENT Or GOTEREUENT
STOuES rum( WOOLWICIt DoCILTAUD.—J. Daniels. T.
.Vonn, J. JacksanWilliams, G. Angove, and P. Callaghan,
belonging to the Royal George, coast guard service, were
charged with receiving from Wm. Kemmish, the chief boat-
swain of her Majesty's ship Nymph, 1 cwt. 9 lbs. of rope,
and 331ba of canvass ; and IV. Kemmish was charged with
having given aa ay the same, being part of the ship's stores--
Police-constable Wm. Turner wee on duty in the dockyard
on Friday evening ; the boat belongiug to the Royal George
was lying between the Nymph and the Spiteful Saw
Daniels banding front the Nymph to one of the men that
was in the boat some canvass and rope. He got a boat and
followed the prisoners, who were going towards the steam-
watt pier. Wittman called to them to stop ; finding that
thay were getting away from him, he asked them what they
had got in the boat? One of them said, stores that they had
been to London for.—Mr. It. White, inspector Thames
Police, &posed that he found the canvass and rope now
produced concealed in the store-room of the Royal George,
and took Daniels, Moon, Williams. Angove, and Callaghan,
into custody. Williams and Angove said that Kemmish, the
boatswain of the Nymph, told them to take what rope and
canvas they wanted; the other three said they knew nothing
about the transaction. He brought the prisoners to Wool-
wich Dockyard, and confronted them with Kemmish, when
be denied having given away any stores to the prisoners.
Kemmish was also taken into custody.—Mr. Jeremy said
that it was a mere irregularity. He did not for a moment
consider that the prisoners intended to commit a felony. It
was what was often done, borrowing from another ship. At
present there was not a tittle of evidence against Kemmish.
But as the government wished to press the charge, they must
first prove that Kemmish stole the store,, and that the other
five prisoners received them knowing them to have been
stolen. Kemmish he discharged, and committed Daniels,
Moon, Williams, Angove, and Callaghan for trial for miss
demeanor, but accepted bail, Daniels himself in 1001. and
two sureties each in 401., Moon, Williams, Angove, and
Callaghan each 501., and two sureties in 101. each.

Both on the Stock Exchange and in the general
discount market money continues difficult, and com-
mands high rates. In some quarters apprehensions
are expressed about the results of the forthcoming
bill day (to-morrow), on account of the excessive de-
dine and fluctuations in prices-that is, of corn and
other bread-stuffs. It is, however, satisfactory to
learn, from well-informed sources, hat such appre-
hensions are believed to be of an exaggerated charac-
ter-so fiw, at least, as respects to-morrow (the 4th) ;
because, in fact, the quantity of bills falling due, and
to be met, is expected to be of but a light amount,
comparatively with other monthly reckoning days.

menus of repayment, which mud be completed In thirty years.

Increased traffic on the line. The whole of the receipts from Jan. 1
to June 30, 1817, amounted to 4,619,4574 77c., and the expenditure
amounted to 2,729,2311. 7e. Ravine a balance of 1,960,1761. 70c.,

ing of the nacre Railway in increasing the receipts of the Rouen com-
peer. The arrangements between the two companies were becoming
more perfect, and would contribute to the lament death ; melt:turn had
