DARING CASE OF INTIMIDATION.—On Thursday

and their approach having been made known to the 'litho-
-11 rides of Ashton, they were met at the Guide Bridge Rail-
way station by the mayor (John Metcalfe, Esq.) and the
high constable. Ills worship the mayor addressed them at
some length, explaining that their object was one of an
illegal character if intended to excite fear or to intimid.te
other workmen, and he advised them not to a alk in proces-
sion, but quietly disperse, The advice, however, was dis-
regarded, and having formed two-a-breast they marched to
the brickeroft of Mr. W. Conley, at Ashton, where twelve
Ines were working who did not belong to the trades' union.
Two of these men were so alarmed by their presence,
though they committed no violence, that they left their
work, and the mob of intimidator then went to the Ashton
Theatre, which had been engaged fur a meeting, suit hav-
ing held what they termed a demonstration they quietly
separated. The Mayor again addressed them, awl advi( a
them to be peaceable at the theatre. Three companies, of
the 4th Regiment of Infantry had been called out ..f
barracks and placed in the Tow n.hall, but there was nn
fur their further services. Them brieunakere, however,

EQUITY COURTS.--YUTKILDAL
I4r Yr Vies.Crtmein.we ICswassasaw.

W WONT C. VIIIINON.—PIWIrtenos OF DOCUIFINTII.
Tide was a motion for 'value tion of documents under the
Soli wing cirrumetances —lt appeared that Sir Thomas
liesswell, of Upton, is Northamptonshire, made his will in
the year 1778, leaving very large estates to various ambers
of his family, as tenants in tail, with an ultimate emainder
to his own nght heirs. All the estates tail failed, the lest
totem in tail having died is 1843. The right Mire of Sir
Thomas Barnwell were his three Diem—Mrs. Drought,
Emotes Laugher's, sad Phiilis Lanham. The two last
made mutual wills is 1827, by which, stir giving their
mates to particular persons, all w►ich linsitatioes wave
Ily eithausted I. 1849, they gave their two-
thirds of the Amato in duos terms, " in treat foe ilia two
heirs of my grandfather, S:r Thomas Samwell, Bart.,
deceased (father of my late uncle Sir Thomas Ssnawell),hy
Diary his second wile also deceased), who was the
daughter of Sir (Silbert Clerke, Knight, for ever. The
question to dispute was as to the construction to be pets
three words. It was admitted that the right heir of Sir
Thomas Barnwell, by Mary Clerke his second wife, at the
death of the two ladies whim wills were in dispute, was
Thomas S. W. Seenwell. The defeedaet alleged that the
limitation gave him an estate in fee and claimed under hie
endow to whom he had devised all hie estates. TM plaintiff
siontended that the words of the wills gave an estate tail
desciredable to the issue of Sir Thomas Seamen by Mary
Clore', sad that his late wife Charlotte Wright was such
imie. As the mtates were in mortgage a bill was filed to
determine the question, and in order tar make oat the
plaiatiff's title be bad to establish his pedigree.
Mr. Medias and Mr. Smythe now moved for Production of
documents in the defendant's pommies, being the title
deeds of the estate, and also various pedigrees and settee's
fin regietrars of birth■, deaths, and marriages.
Mr. Campbell and Mr. Bershawe opp wed the motion,
sad submitted that the plaintiff had not alleged the title of
Ina wife with sufficient certainty, and that until he had
made out his pedigree, he had no right to any documents
respeeing the estate which the defendant might have in
In. prnsession. -

T e ice•Chancisllor said he was of opinion that the
plaintiff hail alleged the title of his wife with sufficient cer-
tainty to entitle him to sash documents, in the defendant's
possession, as were necessary for making out his title. The
defendant obj..cted to pro Luce the copies of registries, and
the pedigrees obtained from the Herald's olio, on
the ground that he had been at the 'spews of
procuriag them himself fur another purpose, net
osnneeted with this suit, and that the plaintiff,
had no right to avail himself of these decumente merely to
save the cap nee and trouble of procuring them fur himself,
es
they were Cl/C0112U12 to all persons wbo chose to pay for,
them. 'ibis he did not consider a valid objection. It did
sot signify how the doeurnsnts came into the poseemion of
the defendant, the plaintiff had a right to inspect all such
as were not protected on some special grounds. Hie opi-
nion wart that the plaintiff was entitled to production of the
*epics of Registries of births, deaths andparriages, and the
pe•ligrees obtained from the Herald'et.ffice, but not to any
other documents mentioned in the notice of motion.

The causes arising out oftiebankruitci of Mr. Colom-
bia', impeaching settlements alleged to have been made by
Lim in fraud of his creditors, occupied the court the whole
of this day. The discussion will be resumed to-morrow
(Vile day).

OOT •. ThIPP.—LIBIL.

This was an action to recover damages for libels pub-
lished by the defendant, concerning the plaintiff; and the
only plea was not guilty.
Mr. Ruddlreton, appeared for the plaintiff; the defend-
ant conducted his ease in person.
The plaintiffs Frenchman, carries on business as a table-
lamp maker, and tin and iron worker ; and the defendant
was formerly in his service as town traveller. The first
period of employment was from June to December, 1830,
when the defendant was discharged ; bet was again em-
ployed from January, 1&51, to July, 18.52. la this last-
nsmed month the defendant absented himself from the
plsintirs employment, and hit behind him a cash aceoant,
and also • statement that he had applied 251 as due to
himself for commission. The accounts wore not in a win-
fastory state, and the plaintiff gave the defendant
ia-
to custody for embralement ; but the magis-
trate thought the matter was ems si imisousse
between the parties, anl he dismiseed the charge.
The plaintiff th•ii sent a circular round to hie customs.,,
stating what occurred before the magistrate. and rensenting
them not to!pay any more money to the defoliant co his
recount. Upon this, the defendant wrote • letter to Mr.
Trigg's, with whom the plaintiff was in the habit of ha,-
ing transeetions; and,this letter was one of the libels
complained of. It was in these terms :" It behoves me as
a commercial traveller and tradesman, to inform you that,
Guy, of Upper Rosman-street, is in difficulties, owing me
upwards of 301. • and can't get a settlement. I advise
you, if one of the unfortunate creditors, to some to some
immediate arrangement with him, for ha has already dis-
honoured bills, and been obliged to dispose. of
_part of his
stock, at a sacrifice, to meet some of them. . The defend-
ant signed this, and referred f.r further information, to
certain persons he named. Another libel was • circular
containing similar statements ; of which the defendant got
200 copies printed, and sent of to a person,
doing business with the plaintiff. The declaration also
complaiaed of an anonymous letter as a third libel ; but
this was not proved to be in the defendant's handwriting,
and was therefore out of the case.

Thejary found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 251.
DIKILT e. ALDIMAX.—BILL
TIM plaintif in this case is an attorney, and the defen-
dant WASS on business in Billiter-street, in the City. The
action was upon a bill of exchange, dated the 7th September,
1852, and accepted by the defendant for 301., at three
=oaths, aad the plea stated that the defendant delivered
the bill to one Edwards, to get discounted for him, but that
he improperly negotiated it for hi own benefit ; that the
plaintiff had notice of this fraud; and it was denied that
Halliday or the plaintiff gave any consideration for the en-
dorsesmts to them. _ _ _ _

Mr. Collier appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. flerjeant
Dyke sad Mr. Prentice were for the defendant.
`ln asseqsasee piths loom of the pleadings, the defect-
it eammensed the ease; and, according to his statement,
he wee, in September laid, la want of some money, to go
apse &journey, and game the bill in question to Edwards to
get diasoested fee him, and took a memorandum of the
terms apse which the bill was given to Edwards. The
defend's% however, was unable to get the money or the
bill hem Edwards, and when it became due the plaintiff
applied for payment. It was alio statsd that Halliday was
• perm of bad character, having beta convicted at the
Old Bailey, and that he was not in such circumstances
that be was likely to have the means of properly getting a
bill of eachange. It was complained that the plaintiff
ought to have made iaquirlee as to the char/tees of Halli-
day before he took the bill of him.
The plaintiff's ease was that be WS/ asked to discount
the bill by a person named Lands, who iatroduced Halli-
day to him. At Ant he refused to dimmed it, but after-
wards agreed to take it, and gave &cheque for 211. and two
mine warrants, making about the full value, as coseidera-
den hr the bill. That some inquiries wen made as to
Ealliday, sad diet the plaintiff had no knowledge at all of
the mans la which Edwards got the bill, or that Halliday
was set a respectable man.
The jury, however, without leaving the hne, found •
medial for the defendant.

"It mesas ta rliaae-pctinly deef, and I will take It and pay

fled. Nothing was said about the price. It was not worth
mire than 30s. I recollect something about a hat. Hen I
is the article. (The witness in an excited manner handed
it ba the jury, saying, " Sispnee ! sizpenee only !" which
soused much merriment in court.) My own hat was
crushed coming out of the cabin of one of the penny
steamers. I said to the plaintiff it is unpleasant that my
hat should be in this condition. I have no money at pre-
mot to buy one. The plaintiff said be had some hats up-
stain and he brought down two old ones. lie gave me one
which I wore for six weeks. I then bought a new one, and
the hatter allowed me sixpence for the)one Debeeker gave me.
The defendant uses pomatum, and his hat was full of greases
Recollect t plaintiff bringing 12 pocket-handkerchiefs

ter.) He asked her to embroider half a dozen, and to put

imp: were finished, Delman said to the lady, " I will
nal ales you money, but I pray you to retain the six un-
emlbeabisred handkerchiefs for your trouble?' I saw no
stjaillos to that, because I thought her labour was worth
NNW I received a bill from Paris for 137. 19e. 7d.; it was
at three days' eight on the let of November, at the
-house of Meson. Montesux and Co. I received the
bill on the 12'h of October, and on the 18th I gave it to
Debeeker, with my name endorsed upon it. I gave it to
Mate et cashed, because he said he was going every day
to the City. I saw him the day. on which the bill was
pea He said be had not received the amount, but he
c(iisd to advance me money on it. The bill was paid, as
I afterwards knew, on the let of November. He advanced
No the money in small amounts, on several oecasions. He
paid me 31. tils. beyond the amount of the bill. That is
all the money he advanced to me. I never mentioned to
Mr. Pelee that I owed him IV. or 13t I was arrested
on the 18th of December, at 37, Rathbone-place, about
7 o'clock in the evening. It was on a Saturday. I
Mai taken to prison after violence had been used towards
me, at the prompting of the plaiatifforho wen by. 1 left
prison en Chriatroae-eve, and found my wife and children
gone. I was not guilty of any violence towards her. I have
had " scenes de jalousie" with her three or four times
about the plaintiff. I could not use violence toward' her,
for I adored her as a saint.

Crum-sizamined by Mr. Chambers—l have been a married
man. I separated from my first wife in 1846. I lived with
her in a fraternal way. I married her in 1838. I had not
lived with her for a long time before I left France. She
never bad any children. I met the primes% young lady at
as house of her relatives—it was not with the consent of
her parents that she first lived with me. She was then 23
years of age. Eighteen months after I was reconciled with
her parents. I 111111 then 41 years. Her parents were very
honourable people. She lived with me since that period up
to the 18th December, and she was the most admirable of
women. Her lather was a public functionary. It was a
perpetual honeymoon between us till f met the plaintiff. I
never threatened her with violence if she left me to return
to her parents. On the contrary, she followed nil from
France when I was proscribed by Napoleon, the tyrant of
Frown.
_ _ _

le the Court—l never borrowed any money from the
plaintiff before the date of the bill for 161.
Mr. Jones, hatter, deposed that he allowed the defendant
64. for an old hat on the occasion of wiling him a new one.
lie did not think that the hat could have been worn to its
present appearance in six weeks. It might have coot a
guinea originallkiecause he saw it came from the house of
Mr. Meton, of at-street.
The learned Ju ,in summing up, said that the present
use was one of conflicting testimony between the plaintiff
and the defendant ; and it would be for the jury, after
weighing the case as presented by both, to say which pre-
sented the greatest probability. The first thing that would
strike them was, that the plaintiff had the defendant ar-
rested late on Saturday night, when he could not probably
take any steps towards his liberation, till the following
Monday. And when, after six days of imprisonment, he
came to his home, he found that his daces were sealed up,
his wife and children gone and living at a place where the
' plaintiff admitted that he visited four or five times a week.
It was also very strange that the plaintiff had not said one
word about the bill fur 161. These points struck the jury
perhaps as they struck him, but as he said the evidence was
conflicting, and it was for them to decide.
The jury at one. found a verdict for the defendant.
The Judge—Then I suppose, gentlemen, you consider that
the " tabu" was • present.
The Jury—lust ao.
The Judgloor value received, I 'appose. (Laughter.)

Till MAST MAKlL.—CoLuatow.
This was a suit brought by the Friends brig against the
schooner Mary Marie, to recover damages for • collision on
the Thames. The brig was a vowel of 131 tons, and had
sailed on the 19th of August from Middlesborough with
coals for London. The schooner, the bard.. of which was
64 tons, had sailed with a cargo of stones and shoddy from
Goole. She had landed the shoddy at Rochester, and was
carrying the stones up to Gravesend. At about half-post
twelve on the night of the 20th the brig went aground
near the Upper Biyth buoy, and a quarter of an hour later
a sailing barge was seen approaching. The brig hailed it,
and stated that sae was aground ; and the barge therefore
went about and avoided her. Immediately afterwards the
schooner came up and was hailed. She made no reply ; but,
after begianing to tack a-starboard (by which the
collision would have been prevented), she suddenly
altered her course, as if with the intention of pining the
brig to the leeward, and the result was that ahe ran against
the Friends' starboard bow, making a hole so large that
the brig sank in about a quarter of an hour.
The uefeace was—first, that no collision had taken place,
but that the Friends had been sunk by running upon a
rack, consisting of stumps and stones, which had Stove
in her bottom, and caused the sinking of the vessel. It was
also alleged that, even supposing the collision to have taken
place, the damage had been caused by the brig's anchor,

done of the port of London, and which had been driven in
by the shock. •
Drs. Addams and Twin; appeared for the parties pro-
ceeding, and Drs. Jenner and Bayford for the Mary Maria.
The Trinity Masters were of opinion that the brig had
been sunk by the collision, and that the schooner was alone
to blame. They considered also that under the circum-
stances It was not unseanianlike, but j ustiflable, to carry the
anchor a-cocktril. _ _ .

by the bankrupt incurring certain liabilities amounting to

The Commissioner--The ease is that of an apothecary,
who thought proper to leave his patients, and enter into •
speculation on account of a cattle market at Islington.

His Honour said that, if any creditor had opposed, he
should have had difficulty in giving an immediate certifi-
cate in this ease ; for no trader had • right to incur liabili-
ties of this kind, and hold himself oat as responsible to
others, unless he had the means of meeting those engage-
ments. As it was, an immediate certififtte would be
muted of the second class, in the hope that Mr. Wall
would not again suffer himself to be drawn into such specu-
lative,.
