Before the Lad Chancellor.
IN THE MATTER OF THE LUDLOW CRARITIE,.-1 he
court was occupied for the greater part of the day in Misting
a great number of counsel (II altogether) upon four peas ions
presented in this matter—one by Mr. Willa, the mast, r of
the school, praying confirmation of the master's ref mt,
which adopted generall) the scheme sent in by Mr. Wiles
for the administration of the charities. The other petitions
li —one presented by the trustees of the charities, another by
the relators in the cause, and the other by the corporation
of the borough et Ludlow—complained of the report. There
was a fifth petition, consequential on the ikteision of the
court on the othere—The Lord Chancellor raid he could
not send the matter back to the master, but would diAp.se of
all the petitions himself in a day or two. The staterwmt of
the facts and particular points made is reserved for the report
of the judgment.

THE ATTOItNEY-QENEEAL• V. THE CORPORATION OP
LICHFIELD.—VALIDITT OF BOROIJOH RATE.—The ques-
tion in this use related to the validity of a borough rate and
the legality of applying it foe the purpose of paying expenses
incurred prior to the making of the rate ; and this was a
mition for an injunction to restrain such application of a
rate made in July last.—Mr. Turner opened the case in sup
port of the motion.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
minas in Baum.
REGINA 12. RI;TION AND OTHERS.—at the sitting of the
court, Lord Denman gave judgment in this case. It was an
indictment against the defendants, who were workmen Lithe
prosecutor, he being a dyer. The farts of the eau were fully
reported in this paper when the rule was argued. it will be
remembered that the prosecutor permitted the men in his
employment to dye articles belonging to themselves with his
materials, but not to do so for other persons, er for profit in
any way ; they, however, abused the confidence which their
master lad placed in them, having been indicted and found
guilty of dyeing articles with the prosecutor's dye, without
his knowledge, for which they had been paid. The indict-
ment charged the defendants with a misdemeanor, and a rule
was subsequently obtained to set aside the verdict on the
ground that the offence, if proved, was a felony, and not •
misdemeanor, inasmuch as it was a stealing of the prosecu-
tor's dye; and the indictment for a misdemeanor could not,
therefore, be held good. It was argued, on behalf of the
crown, that the indictment for misdemeanor could be sus-
tained, notwithstanding the crime committed might amount
to a felony. The court, n ,w, upon a review of all the autho-
rities and principles, ir:in lsat there was no 7' '.ion why the
indictment for a misdemeanor should not be Japported
though the evidence proved, in fact, that a felony bad beta
committed.—The atilt than proceeded with the special
paper but no case of public intecestoccurred during the day.
