amount to a legacy which the testator had bequeathed to a
trustee for the benefit of Enoch Francis and Sarah his wife,
and her ekildrett.—Mr. Ruh appeared for the motion, and
Mr. Bethel' against it.—The Vice-Chancellor directed that
the proomaitifni should be stayed, and the legacy paid into
wart by the executors.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Nun Pan A. heSsee Mr. Justine Kee and common Juries.
ILES E. EWINOTON.—GiVING IN CiIAILGE Fuli EDINY.
—Mr. Pearson appeared fur the pluiutiff in this action,
which was brought to recover damaged frau the d, Pendant
for having caused the plaintiff to be taken oet of his bed at
night on a charge of Loving stolen the defendant's tools.
The see cant at the station-house to which the plaintiff was
taken, dismissed the charge as unfounded. The action was
not defended, and on proof of the facts just stated, the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages 10/.
MO1:NIAIN O. WILMEIT.—I'ILTUKE DEALING. —This
was an action brought against the executor and residuary le-
rratin,
the
Oe t t
gates of a Mr. Knight, who died in the month of November,
wed
1112, to recover the sum of 1871. fur pictures supplied to

occupations of picture-dealer and cobbler. Mr. Knight lived
alone in a house in Nassau-street, in apartments nearly filled
with pictures, which it was the business of his life to accu-
mulate. Ills penurious habits, neglect of cleanliness, passion
for collecting pictures, were such as to raise doubts of his
sanity when living, nod to cause the judicial übrogetioa of a
will made shortly before his death, by which he bad be-
queathed 1001. to the plaintiff, whose wife bad uttended him
during his last illness. At his death, it was found that he
possessed about 1,800 pictures: They. were sold by auction,
and produced 1,0001. The plaintiff insisted that a portion of
those pictures had been supplied by him during the months
already mentioned and left unpaid. The es‘ cutor was of
opinion that the particular pictures claimed bud been in the
possession of Mr. Knight, at some time anterior to six months
before his death, and he refused to pay fur therm Theme-
upon this action was brought. For the plaintiff witnesses
were called who attempted to show that certain pictures
were delivered by the plaintiff to Mr. Knight during the
time mentioned in the declaration, which were afterwards
sold by auction with the effects of the deceased. The evi-
dence of ideutitY of the pictures was, the identity of the sub
jecta, and if the treatment was uniformly similar to that of
the story of Leda, as deposed to by one oats e witnesses, who
described a family party composed
L tbc traditional
undress, the Swan, and Castor and Pollux, it would appear
to have been sufficiently original for the purpose. On cross
examination, however, it appeared that in respect of some of
them the view originally entertained by the executor was
correct. Admissions en the part of Mr. Knight were
ti ame
lso
spoken to, but it appeared that they were made at a
and under circumstances which threw a doubt on the sanity
of the testator at the time he made them. For the defendant
it was contended that a claim for the keep of a dog had been
made without mentioning the demand for picture s, and was
paid to the plaintiff, who then admitted that no more was
due to him from the testator; that the claim was advanced
too late ; and that it reset would have been preferred at all
had it not been that the will had been set aside, andhat so the
the
legacy avoided. In reply, however, it was urged t
plaintiff had been prevented from bringing his action by an
imprisonment under a sentence on a conviction for man-
slaughter, and that he had always been willing to accept the
legacy in liquidation of his bill, for which object it was proved
that it had been bequeathed. Mr. Whitehurst, C., and
Mr. Ogle, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Crowder sad
Mr. Kerslake were counsel for the defendant.—Mr. Justice
Erle having summed up the case, the jury after a brief deli-
beration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff with damages,
1001.

COURT OF ADMIRALTY.
TILE SERINOAPATAM.—ILEAYY DAMAGE.—The IC:07101
judge (Dr. Lushington) was aided in this CR,C by two of the
Elder brethren of the Trinity-house. The Seringopetam, on
the 26th April, ran into the Danish ship Ilarriett amidships,
and did her so much damage, that her owners entered an
action for 15,000/. Most of the facts of the case were not
disputed, but the civilians fur the
Seringapafore,tam not

The damage occurred off Bcuchy Ilestl.—The Queen's Advo-
cate and Dr. Robinson contended that the East Indiaman
was to blame.—Dr. Addams and Dr. Deane were heard
_ .

contra.
The court addressed the Trinity masters (Capta. Ellerby
and Gordon), and asked their opinion. They decided that
both vessels were to blame, and the dam'ge must be divided
—Judgment accordingly.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
iisi Prito.—Before Sir Frederick Pollock, C. 8., and Common Juries.
DEVERNARDY V. HELL.—THR HON. MR. BERKELEY
twentyult foraßuisroL.—i was an action brought to recover
eight guineas attendance as a witness, and for
assistance alleged to have bees rendered by the plaintiffin
arranging certain evidence in R suit instituted by a banker at
Calais, named Laveuz, against the Hon. F. Henry Fitshard-
inge Berkeley, one of the present representatives for Bristol.
It appeared that the plaintiff and a Mr. Roaclotty, wh,
were in partnership in 1844, as accountants and foreign
agents, were employed by Mons. Lanai to recover a large
sun of money alleged to he due to him by Mr. Berkeley, and
an agreement was entered into that Mona. Uterus should
pay then 20 percent. upon whatever -um they succeeded In
recovering. Not being themselves attornies, they employed
the de fendent, who is a solicitor, to couct the necessary legal
proceedings, and they agreed to p3y him 10 per et nt. upon the
amount he recovered, providing that that sum should cover
