RB TRINITY CHURCH DIOTRICT, HOLBORN.—CIIARITY
APPOITIONKRNT.—This was a petition to have certain
charity funds apportioned between the parish church of Sc.
Andrew's,liolborn. and the district of Trinity Church.—Mr.
Wigrain and Mr. Fooks supported the petition ; Mr. Bacon,
Mr. It Palmer. Mr. Russell, an Mr. J. B. Allen, ap-
peared for the different respondents ; but'on a doubt arising
whether the petition wu within the scope of the Church
Building Acts the Vice-Chancellor said his impression was,
that unless this wu the case the order could not be made,
as the petition did not appear to be within Sir Samuel
Romilly's Act. The case was ordered to stand over, to be
spoken to on this paint.
II eNDERBON V. KENNICOT.—WILL CONSTRUCTION.—
Lawrence Henderson, the testator in this cause, by bis will,
dated June 29, 1803, gave hie residuary estate to has wife for
life, and after her death to the testator's brothers and roisters,
share and share alike ; and in cue any of his brothers or
sisters she old happen to die ly fore they becav e entitled
to their respective shares, the testator bequeathed the shares
of him, her, or them, so dying to the chilli.. te of such de-
ceased brother or sister. The question was, whether, under
this bequest, the personal representatives of brotheas who
died alter the testator and before the tenant tor life were
entitled to the brothers' shares, or whether the bequest over
took effect in that event. There were two petition% on
behalf of the legal personal representative s.—Me. F. Bayley,
in support of one of them, cited "Commissioners of Charitable
Donations v. Cutter" (1 Drury and Warren, 498 ), and ''Fr
v. Load Bherborne" (3 Simons, 243) —Mr. Sauk appeared
for the other petition, and Mr. Fueling for partite opp sing
the claims.—lhe Vice-Chancellor said that he might have
held that "entitled ' meant " entithd in pOiole,iOo," but
for the authorities, which however seemed decisive in favour
of tbe petitionel e.

PREROGATIVE COURT.
before Sir Herbert rennet. Vogt
Foods V. DAVIDSON:— Jetinsteay.—VALlDlTY OP A
WILL:This was a question upon th•• validity of the will of
a Mr. Rankin, who was a West ',die merchant, end re-
sided iu Finsbury-square, and died possessed of considernb.e
property. The case has been fully reported on a former
o.vasion. It appeared that the testator had made a si I,
dated June 22, 1844, in which he bequeathed the
whole of his property to his only eurvising Dieter,
a Mrs. Dennis, and to a Miss Davidson, his only
niece, and daughter of a deceased sister. In the
following week he accompanied his sister and niece on •
journey to Scotland ; the weather being very hot, Miss Da
.idson requested the carriage windows might be put down
On their arrival at Derby, Mrs. Dennis was taken tinsel',
and after a few days' illnetis she died, and intestate; the pro-
perty she posivesed bcome that of Mr. Rankin. From this
moment he took a great dislike to his niece, saying she bud
killed her aunt and would poison him to obtain the prises-
eion of their property, which was considerable. On the
22nd July, the day alter the demise of his mister,
he went to a Mr. Smith, a solicitor roiling at Derby,
sad instructed him to make a codicil, in which he re yoked
his last will and testament so far as to bequeath the Treater
portion of his property to other relations, and only a smell
portion to his niece: On the 29th of August, 1644, and on
the 24th March, 1845, he made two other codicils, miikieg
other bequests to the prejudice of hie niece, Miss Dui lion,
whom he continued to charge wish a design upon his life.
lie need to eat eggs and drink soda water, saying she could
not put poison in them, as be opened them
himself. It was contended the testator was nut of
sound mind from the period of his sister's illness, that he was
suffering from monomania, and was, therefore, not in a lit
✓ate of mind to make al. gal dispovition of his reorrty.
The court,' in giving judgment, referred to the case of
Wearing e. Wearing," which was lately divided by the
Court of Appeal, and " Drew v. Clarke," decided by Sir J.
Nich.ll. It went through the whole i f the evidence, and it
could not help coming to the conclusion that the testator was
net of sound mind from the peiiud of his arrival at Derby.
where his:sister was taken ill., It, therefore, pronounced tor the
validity of the will and against the ci dicils, and granted pro-
bate to the four executors therein name d, and also to Miss
Davidson, who had been named executrix under the will ;
but the appointment had heen revoked under the codicils.
LAWRENCR V. SEAM 11.—JUDOMP.NT.—VALIDITY UP A
Conicit.—This was also • que,tion upon the liability of a
codicil made by a Mrs. Mary Lawrie, by which she be-
queathed a legacy of 4001. to her servant, Mary Searim. It
was opposed by Mr. Lowrie, the au phew and executor under
the will of the testatrix, to whom the larger portion of her
property was bequeathed, on the ground that at her ad-
vanced age (83) she was of imbecile mind, and therefore
easily induced to bequeath ter propirty without knowing
what she was really doing. The court, after going through
the whole of the evidence, decide d in favour of the codicil,
with costs to the party propounding it.
SAUNDERS V. SAUNDERS.—JUDOMENT.—Tbis WAS also
cue of dispute upon the validity of • will. The testatrix
was a Miss Saunders, who ridded at Brighton, and carried
on business us Wive merebalit in partnership with her bro-
ther. Before her death ah. made her will, bequeathing the
whole of her property to her brothers and sisters, to the ex-
clusion of her father. Upon her death her will was not
found, and there was no proof of hi r having destroyed it.
The duplicate of the will was now propounded, and an ap-
plication was made to grant mohate: thereon.-1 he court
thought it spoke the intentions of the testatrix, and granted
probate of th.. same.

The assises.for Subsea terminated this morning. The busi-
ness was ligl.ter than was ever known in this county; the
whole of the civil causes not having occupied one day.
There were a good many criminal cases, but they were all of
the ordinary description, and none of them preu nted.any
feature of interest to justify a report. The commission for
Surrey will be opene l on Monday at Guildford.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Urniteonn, Auo. 5.
Caoteri Got et. —Before Mr. Justice MM.
M ANSLAVOIITE lt.—S. Taylor was charged with the man-
slaughter of T. Bennett, at Ledbury, on the 2.5 th of June
last. Only two witnesses were examined, who-s evidence
showed that the prisoner was intoxicated when he com-
mitted the offence, and that the deceased offered no resi %-
ince at all to the attack which was made upon him. be
prisoner received a good charach.r, and it was shown that he
had no intuition of depriving the unfortunate man of his
life, but simply to punish him for some supposed off, nee.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner,
but recommended him to mercy. Ilis lordship bovine
solemnly admonished Taylor sentenced him to two months'
imprisonment wilthard labour.
This ease concluded the business of these Win..

WESTERN CIItt.LII.—WELIA, At o h.
The calendar of prisoners for trial at these assizes is heavy.
There are at least 90 prisoners for trial, and amongst the
offcnces ch irged against them are murder, attempting to
poison, arson, manslaughter, maliciously wounding, forgery,
burglary, sheep and cattle stealing, embezzlement, &c.—tdr.
Justice Coleridge commented, with expressions of deep
regret, upon the heaviness of the calendar, and observed
that the general in. Tease of crime in 1847 was nearly as
marked in the agricultural as in the manufacturing districts;
' and in the south. rn and southwestern counties that increase
had reached to more than 16 per cent., which was even
mere than the increase that had taken place in the manufac-
turing districts generally throughout the kingdom. Th.it
the agricultural districts sheuld take the lead iu the incites°
of crime was certainly a new Ind most lamentable circum-
stance. Of the 774 prison. rs who had been committed for
trial in this county, in 1647, 6SI only were convicted. and
that circumstance suggested not only more caution in
the committal of offenders and in the getting up
of cases, but the great importance of a right ad-
ministration of prison discipline. A large number of
pri-ones-11 out of 82—were represented as being a;iie to
read and write well. Of course anything that looked 1. -e a
failure of education in the prevention of crime would bee 1...b-
-ject for the greatest possible regret,but without they were h.-
formed of the state of the religious education of the ac-used
they could not say that education had been inoperative—for he
need not say th►t the mere teaching of reading and writing',
without proper religious instruction, would have but a very
doubtful effect. lies lordship concluded a very long charge
by exhorting his h to energetic efforts for the common
good, by which only, said be, we can hope to maintain even
the present uncertain state in which we are.— There were no
CAWS of importance heard to-day.

STEALING AND TRYINO TO STRANGLE A CHILD.
—G. Dixon was charged witk having, on the 14th of
March, stolen the child of J. Cameron, a tailor, of
Glasgow, and with having attempted to strangle it.—J.
Cameros stated that he was travelling in search of em-
ployment, and met with the prisoner. They travelled to-
gether some distance, and at Heiham he gave prisoner his
child, a boy four years old, to take care of for a few minutes,
while he went into a shop to ask for work. When he came
out prisoner was gone. Found him at Haltwhiatle, and
the child, which had been previously healthy, was then
much bruised, and had marks round his neck.—J. Stewart
stated that he allowed prisoner to sleep with the child in a
barn. It seemed well at night; but next morning its face
was swelled, and its nose bleeding.—M. Johnson said she
found prisoner on the road with the child on his knees, black
in the face, apparently dying.—M„ Frazer made a similar
statement, and said she took the child, and an attempt was
made to give it some water. Afterwards prisoner said it
could not drink till the worsted cravat was taken
from its nevi'. That wu found to be tied very
tightly round its throat, and some time after it was taken ,
off the child gradually revived. Witnese and her husband
insisted on prisoner carrying it ; hut, after a while, be tried
to make it walk, and threatened to give it the belt, as he
bad done in the night ; when the child for the first time
spoke, and said " Oh, no, no I" lie afterwards threatened
to nut it into a sandhole.—Mr. Elliot, a surgeon, attended
tl child for ten days. There were three marks round its
a • • . and blows .n its race, as if given with great force by a
b in .rr. Its lite bad ben in danger. Prisoner
est • aft, .spar had given it to him to beg with.—The

This was a case in which a true bill had been found against
the defendant at the Quarter Sessions for obtaining mom;
under false pretences, which was removed by certiorari to
for
Court o Q
se ueen's Bench, end transmd by the court
trial at the emixes.—The prosecutoritte was Humphrey
Hutchins, who complained that the prMoner had unlawfully
pretended that he would set as the agent to Margaret
Williams, the mother of the said Humphrey Hutchins, who
was the claimant of a ct rtain estate known as the Wadden
Hall Estate, in the county of Buckingham; that the prisoner
did not proceed with Margaret Williams's claim as he
had falsely pretended to do, and for which pur-
pose he had obtained various sums of money
as
set forth in the different counts of the iadictment.—Mr.
J. Evane,u C., having addressed the jury for the prosecution,
a colloquy ensued between his lordship and Mr. Evane, the
judge intimating his opinion that this was not • cue within
the meaniog of the statute of fate pro tencea. If a men
could be found guilty in such a case, there would hardly be
a breech of a promise in any affair in which mocey hail
passed, which would not be made the subject of an indict.
went.—Mr. Evans here signified his intention to give up all
the counts but the fifth, in which the prisoner was alleged,to
have obtained money from Hutchins upon the pretence
that he had already issued a writ of right on behalf of Mrs..
Margaret William.—llumplirey Hutchins was called to
prove that money was given to the prisoner to carry
on the suit in the .name of Margaret
but other witnesses said that the suit was un-
deretood to be in the name of Margaret Edwards.
—lt was admitted on both silks that Hue en had issued
a writ of right for Eiizib th Davies, and that Mr. Lowndes
hail compromised the Matta r for 6,0001.—Mr. Hall, for tte
defendant, objected that no CAPP hail been set up.—His
Lordship gummed up, oberreirg that he was distinctly of
opinion that the law aid not affect the detendant, and almost
in express terms directed the jury to acquit the prisoner.—
The jury turned to consult upon their verdict, when it was
discovered that the foretinn did not understand Welsh, and
the other eleven did not understand English.—llis Lordship
raid it was evident the jury did not understand one word of
his summing up.—The jury retired for about half an hour,
and then returned into court, and pronounced a verdict of
Gulley—in direct contradiction to the ruling of the judge,
and to the utter esti nishment of every one present —A ver-
dict of guilty wan then recorded upon the fifth count, and of
acquittal upon each of the other counts. Leave was then
given to Mr. Hall to move for a new trill in the court above.

cently become a widower, had fir the lost tight or ten years
been an inhabitant of Al,erystwith, whither he had tepaired
to recruit his shattered health. The plaintiff being in deli-'

sist, having been impelled by that inexplicable problem,

He acconaingly sent her the following epistle:

lie (Mr. Setjeant donee) would here remark that during
his frequent visits the plaintiff abstained from giving him
any encouragement as a suitor, and he read another warm
epistle, writta n by the defendat t to her, which tended to
prove what he had stet, d. Without wearying the jury,
however, he would briefly mention that the defendant, by
his assiduity atid incessant appEiation, succeeded in persuad
ice the plaintiff to an engagement. Ile then increased his
attentions. When it was line they walked out together;
when it was wet they played chess, or read in compsny.
The defendant occasionally indulged in poetry to induce the
plaintiff to yield to his solicitations. The folliewieg was a
specimen

Itan-,r4ight thy love to me,
I will pledge n* fluth to thee;
Good or ill, wltd,'er L, tide,
Let us never more divide."
On another occasion Le sent her a long eflusion. com-
mencing :

"Tell me, Mary, bow to woo thee,
Kind and gentle as thou art;
How declare my love unto thee,
How bear the secret of my heart."
Time wore on, and the &tend:int became exceelingly
anxious th it the marriage should he celebrated forthwith;
but Mi.s Saunders, with gnat propriety, would not suffer it
to take place until twelve months hail Oared rim the
death of his first wife. At length the wedding day stab fixed
hi' the 6;h of April, and maVers progressed harmoniously
till the 26th of ebru-ry, when the tender swain became
metam.rpliosed into • determined er emu. On the faith of
anonymous letters he charged the plaintiff wilh being head
over ears in debt, with bre g drur ken, old, and ugly. On
one occasion he snatched from her some prier tits he had given
her, a ;told watch and chain, and other things, and made his
eseilie. lie returned in the enlarge of half an hour, con-
ducted binned( very violently, and intimated his determina-
tion not to merry her ; nor had he done an.
Miss Eliza Jones and several other witnesses were called,
who proved the learned serjeant's statement.
Mr. Evans, Q C., addressed the jo,y for the defendant.
He said there was no doubt the defendant had made an
engagement, and had br, ken it, and he must take the
consequenc:. At the 'sane time, he considered it to be most
indelicate to admit the addresses of this old gentleman in the
vr: y the plaintiff did, leaving the levity with the other gen.
Hewitt out of the question. Mr. Harries had at last been
scared by an anonymous letter, and it was said his conduct
was very disgraceful and rude ; bat whea they came to de-
tills, this alleged disgraceful conduct amounted to nothing. It
had come out in evidence that plaintiff owed a hill of 171.105.
for sherry and brandy from August to February. He should
like to know who drank that? The defendant did not, for
he drank port. The chief cause of the breaking off of the
match was the anonymous letter, for deft ndant says he could
hope for no comfort with a person of extravagant habits, and
his first wife had been intemperate he shunned a repeti-
t: II of the calamity.
Ilia lordship having summed up the jury retired for a
short time, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages, 1001.
This case concluded the business.

POLICE: SATIIRDAT.
MANSION HOUSE.—AN INGENIOUS CUSTOMIR.—
Ann Brown was charged with having attempted to rob Mr.
Saelton, tea-dealer, i f Bishopsgate-street, of a sovereign.
The prisoner asked for a quarter of a pound of tea, and then
for sonic sugar, at the same time laying down a sovereign.
As the prosecutor counted down the chance, the prisoner
said she would not mind the sugar, and immediately after-
wards said "Oh, yes, I will," evidently endeavouring to
confuse him, and hastily took np the sovereign as well as the
change, and left the shop. Confident that she had, two
months ago, robbed him of a sovereign in a similar way, he
followed and accused her of the theft. She showed the
silver she had in change, declaring that she had no gold of
any kind about her. The prosecutor, however, upon pulling
off a glove which fitted her hand very lightly, discovered the
sovereign.—The prisoner said she had no idea that the sove-
reign was in her possession. It must have slipped in with
the silver in the confusion.—The Lerd Mayor said it was
particularly necessary for shopkeepers to keep a sharp
look out, as there were multitudes of ingenious cwtoraers
about who applied their wits to nothing but the plunder of
tradespeople.—The prisoner was committed.
BOW-STREET. ANOTHER CHARTIST ARREST.-R.
Crowe was charged with having, on Monday last, used sedi-
tious language.—Polioeman Brothers stated that on Monday
last he attended in plain clothes at a meeting in a house, 83,
Dean-street, Soho, which was used for the purpose of char-
tist meetings. He was not present at the commencement of
the meeting. When he arrived there were about 160 persons
present, consisting of mechanics, women, children, and the
lower order of Irish. A young man read some extracts from
the papers. About ten minutes afterwards the prisoner
made a speech, in the course of which he used the following
expreesions " The late insurrection in Paris has shown how
easily a crown can be crumbled. Now is the time to be
ready—now is the time to be resolute, and the game is our
own. Ido not are for those persons present who wear
other people's clothes. I do not care if what I arty is
criminal. I for my own part shall do ell in my

power next week to put a stop to trade, and
urge the Irish in London to rebellion." This last
expreatien was received with loud applause.—The prisoner
asked whether the constable had taken notes of his speech 1—
Brothers said not at the time: he quoted entirely from me-
mory. lie was satisfied what he stated was correct —The
prisoner said be denied the accur•ey of the constable's evi
dente. lie had not uttered the language imputed to him.—
Sergeant J. Gray apprehended the prisoner at his residence,
I, Archer street, Camden Town.—ln answer to the charge,
the primal r said the whole of the evidence, with very little
option, was entirely a fabrication. lie was only surprised
that any magistrate could entertain • charge so vaguely
stated, and by a person who bad taken no notes of the pro- t
pro-
ceedings. As he suppo.ed, however, the case must go elseti
-
where, he should not call witnesses, or make any deft vice.— I'
Mr. Jardine ord• red him to enter into his own recognisance
in the sum of 1001., and to find two sureties of 501. each, to
sower the charge at tee Central C-iminal Court.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Bacioteto PETITION IN-

ILenry Meux under raise pretences, and the latter of baying
defrauded the same baronet of 101. by means of a fraudulent u
beggine petition. The first examination appeared is our
70
paper of Wednesday.—Mr. Bingham cent Johnson to prison

conviction had been given against him, and he should send
ins
him to prison for the same period also.

Andrews,• trade's an carrying on bueiness at 28, Great Mary. I

rennet by snot'st r person, went to the house of Mr. Allen,
al
Northuoilierand-mews, Marylebone, and, making use of the ki
name of a Mr. Stevens, to whom prosecutor was known, LI
obtained from him his horse rind cart, which, as alleged,
tl
were required for the removal of some furniture. On the s
read the prisoner prevailed upon Mr. Allen's son to go wi.h A
a me sag'. to a Mr. Smith, in South-street, with a promise g
that he would wait there till he (the boy) mine back. The II
latter, on his return, found that Andrews and his rnan had
decamped with the horse and cart. Harrison, 14 D, was '
