THE DEATH OF SIR JOBS COPE, BART., so well
known as an admirer of the sports of the field, took place
on the 18th inst., at Bramshill-park, Hants. The deceased
baronet was the second son of William Cope, EN., of
!Mgtlen Place, Bent, by the daughter of Benjamin Green-
wood, Esq., of st. Marys Cray. He was patron of one
living, and succeeded his brother in 1812. The first baronet
was twice nigh Sheriff of Oxfordshire in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, and represented the borough of Danbury
iu parliament. The deceased is succeeded by his son. Sir
John Cope kept an excellent pack of hounds in the county
of Hants, and was reusarkablo for his advocacy of the
sports of the held. The Queen, on the 9e,csodun of her visit
to the Duke of Wellington, ut Strathfieldsaye, in 1814,
called upon Sir John Cope, at Bramahill, hat the hun.
baronet was absent from home.

SUICIDE AT HAVERSTOCK HlLL—Yesterday after.
noon, Mr. Wakley, held an inquest at the College
Arms, St. Pancras-road, Camden-town, on the body of
Linden Thomas, aged 2.3, a servant late in the employ of
Mr. Nutting, piano-forte maker, of Tottenham-court-road.
The jury having viewed the body, Mrs. Mary Ann Nut-
ting stated that their private residence was Rochelle-cot-
tage, Caroline-place, Haverstock-hill. Deceased had been
in their service four years. Witness had been ill in bed all
day on Tuesday, and late in the afternoon, when she got
up, she was astonished to find the kitchen tire out. She
caned deceased, and not receiving any answer, instituted
a search, which resulted in the discovery of the deceased
in the water butt, head downward,. There was one of the
kitchen chairs at the side of the water-butt. An alarm was
given, and some persons came to her assistance, when de-
ceased was taken out quite dead. She had seen her an
hour and a half before. Deceased's relatives and a young
man who was paying his addresses to her had Irequently
visited her; the latter came to see her on Sunday evening
last. Deceased bad never made any complaint against any one,
but lately was rather low-spirited and reserved. Mr. Was.
Henry Holman, surgeon, Chalcott-villa, Haverstuck, men-
tioned a fact elicited by the post mortem examination,
which made it probable that deceased committed suicide
under apprehensions concerning her character. The jury
deliberated about half an hour, with closed doors, and
when the court was re-opened, returned a verdict, "That
the deceased was found drowned in a water-butt, into
which she had thrown herself whilst in a state of mind to
the jury unknown."
FURIOUS DRIVING AND VERDICT OF MAN-
SLAVORTER.—Last evening Mr. J. W. Payne resumed an
inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of William
Stopford, aged 40, who lost his life under the following cir-
cumstances:—lt appeared by the evidence that the deceased
was a butcher, and on Tuesday morning last the deceased
and another man were in a cart, driving at a furious rate
over Loudon-bridge, towards the Borough, and in their pro-
gress came in violent collision with a waggon. The deceased
and his companion were thrown out. The former was
picked up insensible, and carried by the police to the
hospital, where he died from the injury he had received.
Edward Hobday, who was with the deceased, said, they
were in the service of Mr. Fowles, the butcher, of Ber-
mondsey-street. Witness lost all control of the horse. Mr.
W. C. Dobson, the house-surgeon, said, the deceased died
from fracture of the skull. The coroner summed up, when
the jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter," against
Edward Hobday.
COMMITTAL OP THE OLDBURY BURGLARS.—(From
our Correspondent.)—Lzonmezza, Fietnror.—The two
men (Moss and Rock) whose capture near Leominster by
the local police, after a desperate and bloody resistance,
has recently been reported in this paper, were, in pursu-
ance of previous arrangement, brought before the magis-
trates at this place, and underwent an examination, prepa-
ratory to their committal for trial, on the three charges of
burglary with violence at Oldbury, in Worcestershire ;
Burford, in Shropshire; and Cornewell, near Chipping
Norton, in Oxfordshire ; besides the charge of shooting at
the police at Leominster. The inquiry terminated in the
prisoners being removed to Oxford County Gaol for trial at
the next assizes at Oxford on the Chipping Norton charge.
The policeman Smith is quite recovered from his wounds,
slid the wounded prisoner is also able to be removed.
THE POTATO CROP IN SCOTLAND.—In East
Lothian the potato is keeping much better in the pit than
was anticipated some time ago. In most cases it is supposed
, that two-thirds of the crop will be available for human
consumption. In low-lying lands, where the crop was large,
probably about half will be preserved.—Edinburp4 Courani

HAMPTON IL fILWAY CUMPANT.
The Solicitor-General and Mr. Shapter renewed, by way
of appeal, a motion for an injunction which had been re-
fused by Vice-Chancellor Turner on Monday last. The
plaintiffs carry on business on a large scale as iron and
tinplate manufacturers at Wolverhampton, and for that
purpose occupy extensive premises and offices there. I'art
of these premises being required for the purposes of their
undertaking by the company, they, on the June,lSil,
served the plaintiffs with the usual notice to treat for the pur-
chase of a portion of their premises. The plainti I &thereupon
served the company with a counter notice, declining to
sell part only of their premises, but stating that they were
willing and able to sell the whole' for which they fixed
their demand of compensation at 60,0001. The company !
having obtained a valuation of the portion required by
them, gave to the plaintiffs a bond to the amount which
was stated at 0001., and having paid that suns into the
bank, they claime a right to enter into the lands under
the provisions of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act.
The plaintiffs then filed their bill to prevent them from so
doing, and to prevent them from taking measures under
the statute to enforce the sale of a portion only of the
lands. It appeared that the company had served the notice
upon the plaintiffs before the expiration of the compulsory
power to take lands given by their act, but that
such power had expired before the filing of the
bill. The case of the plaintiffs in the court below was, that
their compulsory power of purchasing having now expired
the company had no right to take any part of the plain-
tiffs' land, but that if they, nevertheless, should be held to
have such right, they were bound to take the whole of the
plaintiffs manufactory-. The court below held that by
the giving of the notice the relation of vendor and pur-
chaser was established between the plaintiffs and the com-
pany, and that the expiration of their compulsory powers
under the act did not annul the rights which the company
had acquired as actual purchasers. It held also that as the
92nd section of the Lauds Chai-i: Consolidation Act did
not appear to be incorporated in the company's >heeiul act,
but was inconsistent with certain clauses of that act, the
company had a right to take a part of the manufactory,
without taking the whole. The injunction was therefore
refused by the court below.
The Solicitor-General and Mr. Shapter appeared in sup-
port of the appeal motion ; and Mr. Halt and Mr. &mill
for the company.
Their Lordships thought that there was a sufficient ques-
tion as to the legal right of the plaintiffs upon the construc-
tion of the special act and the Lands Clauses Consolidation
Act, to induce the court to send a case to court, and their
lordships granted an injunction without prejudice to any
question, with a direction that a case should be taken fur
the opinion of a court of law upon the legal question. The
ease was to be so settled as to keep open the points in dis-
pute between the parties, viz., whether the company were
still in time, notwithstanding that their compulsory power
of purchasing was gone ; and whether what they wished
to take constituted a part of the plaintiffs' nianutactury or
not ; the defendants to have till 'f uesday to determine whe-
ther they will suspend the case at law until after the deter-
mination of the equitable question arising upon the alleged
ground of consent on the part of the plaintiffs to the provi-
sions contained in certain clauses of the special act of the
company.

IN it LEE.—CUSTODY OP A LUNATIC.

This was a petition praying for the removal of a lunatic
front his present committee under the following circum-
stances, or for a reference to the Master to inquire and re-
port who was the proper person to be intrus•ed with the
custody. The petitioners were the Rev. &mull:dee Lee,
rector of Broughton, in Hampshire, and his brother, Mr.
Henry Lee, a medical gentleman in the metropolis, and the
lunatic is their brother, Mr. Pincke Lee, a gentleman of
property in Berkshire. The elder brother of the peti-
tioners, and heir-at-law to the lunatic, Mr. John Lee, for-
merly a captain in her Majesty's 34th regiment, but now
residing in Dunbartonshire, was, it appeared, a few years
ego appointed committee under a family arrangement, but
die lunatic had remained under the care of the Rev. Mr.
Lee, at his rectory in Ilants, down to the month of May
last. On the 17th of that month Mr. John Lee wrote to
she commissioners in lunacy, stating that he was desirous to

have his brother removed (ovhis owl residence for the hens-
fit of regular medical attendance. The reply was that he
could not be better placed than where he then was. But
before Mr. John Lee could have received that communica-
tion he went down to Broughton aunt removed the lunat;c ;
hence the present proceedings.
The Lord Chancellor thought it was necesssry and proper
to inquire and ascertain who was the proper person to be
committee of the lunatic. Ile found that some years
ago a petition had been presented to the court
by Mr. Henry Lee and the Rev. Standlake Lee,
who stated that it was proposed to place the lunatic
[ under the care of a Mr. NN ood, a medical man, and Pray-
ing for an increase of allowance to the extent of 50!. That
proposition had been acceded to by the court, but it nos
appeared that without any communication with the court
au alteration was made, the lunatic being placed under the
care of Mr. Standlake Lee. It appeared that Mr. John

madeaadde never
till May last, under the circumstances detaiied in these pro-
ceedings. It must therefore be taken for granted that Mr.
Lee thought that the ltev. Standlake Lee was a proper per-
son to have the care of the lunatic. There was no sugges-
tion of any ill-treatment of the lunatic by the cammittee
His lordship then referred to the mode iu which the lunatic
had been removed from the care of the petitioner. It ap-
peared to him a proceeding not of the most prudent descrip-
tion. Ile said nothing( disparaging of Mr. Lee, who was a
very respectable gentleman, but he had adapted a course of
en erroneous description, and it was necessary that the
court should direct inquiry to be made as to the person
most proper to be intrusted with the care of the lunatic. Ile
should, however, allow the costs out of the lunatic's
estate.

The arguments in this appeal motion were resumed, but

Barons roe Yuma or TO, Rom".
COOKE V. LADIOTTE AND LAMOTIE U. COOKE.

This case, which occupied the attention of the court on
Tuesday and Wednesday, was monied and concluded this
morning. It was a bill filed by the representatives of the
late Mrs. Louisa Foster, widow of General Foster, of
Clifton, praying that a bond for 15,000/., given by her t
her nephews—John Lewis Lamotte, George Lamotte, and
Charles Lamotte, the defendants, should be delivered up
to be cancelled. Mrs. Foster was entitled for life, under
the will of her father, to property worth about 2-1,000/., of
which she had the power of appointment by will. In 1814
John Lemon° visited his aunt by her incitation, and lived
in her house till the middle of 1816. During that time she
made several wills, increasing the benefit John Lamotte
took under them, and by one will she beireathed equally
to her three nephews about 22,000/. On the oth of February,
1816, she being then 78 years of age, she executed a bond
for 10,0001., payable in case she should revoke the will in
favour of her nephews, and on the ith of February she exe-
cuted a like bond for 1.5,0001. The former was cancelled,
and the question before the court was the validity or inva-
lidity of the latter instrument. A great mass of evidence,
some of it conflicting, was read. The principal circum-
stances relied on by the plaintiffs were that Mrs. Foster had
a confidential solicitor, Mr. Cooke, who managed all her
affairs, and was consulted on every transaction except this,
which was kept secret from him, and when the bond was
executed no attorney was present, nor any one
except Mrs. Foster, Mr. Jelin Lamotte, and a
young man named Giles, assistant to the family
chemist, who had been sent to witness it b
Mr. John Lamotte. In May following an estrangement took
place between Mrs. Foster and Mr. John Lamotte, and soon
afterwards ho left the house and they were never recon-
ciled; and afterwards Mrs. Foster made several wills,
totally inconsistent with the supposition that she knew she
had irrevocably disposed of a great portion of her property,
by which wills Mr. John Lamotte took nothing, and his
two brothers only took deferred annuities of 100/. each.
For the defendants it was contended that she always stood
in loco parentis to them, that this bond was given to beue-
fit them without injuring heraelf during her lifetime, by
enabling money to be burrowed to purchase an advoason
for George, and promotion in the army for John and
Charles, though these objects were for various reasons not
effected ; and a letter from Mrs. Foster to George was put
in, in which she said, " I insist upon giving a bond for
15,0001. Employ your own attorney," and there was a
memorandum in her pocket-book, " Feb. 7, 1816. .17:;is
day I gave my dear John a bond."
The Muter of the Rolls gave judgment, going through
the case, and commenting on the various circumstances at
great length. Ile considered that in such a case as this it
was incumbent on the defendant to prove that it was a
righteous transaction, and that the donor was fully aware
of the effect of what she was doing. Ile did not think de-
fendants had made those points out, and he should there-
fore decree that the bond be given up to be cancelled, that
the costs of the original bill be paid by Mr. John Lamotte,
and he dismissed the cross bill with costs.

RE THE NEWMARKET RAILWAY COMPANY EN r.savz
Jesus COLLEGE.
This was the petition of the college, asking that the pro-
ceeds of a purchase of lands taken by the company for the
purposes of their railway, which had been paid into court,
might be paid to certain persons named as trustees for the
company. On a former occasion the court directed the
petition to stand over, that it might be informed of the
value of the holding of the tenant, for whose interest
it appeared that the company had paid a valuable consi-
deration.
Mr. Stephen now brought the petition on with the re-
quired evidence, from which it appeared that the tenant's
interest was a beneficial one—that he had paid a fine on
the purchase of his term, and that he paid only a small head
rent. . . .

His Honour thought that the est•,te of the college was,
under the circumstances, in the ne.ure of a reversionary in-
terest, and that a sum equivalen•, to the proportion of the
annual rent should be rederr.id by the college, and that

the surplus dividends should accumulate during tho residue
of the tenant's term in tho farm.
RE VIE &WTI! STAPFORDEIBIRE RAILWAY COMPANY

EX. PARTE KING AND OTDERS
-. . '

The company, under the powers of their act, had entered
on the meeting-house of the Quakers, with a burying
ground attached, situate at Weelnesbury, in Statfordiliire,
and paid a sum into court under the provisions of the Lauds
Clauses Act as a guarantee fur the value of the land. They
subsequently agreed with the petitioners, the acting trus-
tees of the meeting-home, to purchase the property at the
price of 6901. On investigating the title it appeared that
there were objections to it, which could not be cleared up
to the satisfaction of the company, who paid the 6001. some
time since into court in the waiter of the act to the ac-
count of the parties.
Mr. Craig and Mr. Prior now 'appeared in support of a
petition by the trustees, and asked that the amount might
be invested, and the dividends be paid to the trustees of
the meeting-house. They also asked the court upon this
petition to decide the questions of title that had been raised.
Mr. Follett and Mr. Kinglake, for the company, de-
clined to submit the questions on the title to the court.
The Vice-Chancellor directed the 6001. to be invested and
the dividends to be accumulated, and directed the rest of
the petition to stand over.

BOURNE 0. BUCKTON.-ACCUMULATIUNS.-TLIELLUSONI

The Vice-Chancellor delivered judgment in this case, in
which a question arose under the Thelluson Act, as to
whether thu accumulations directed by the will of Win.
Stevens were valid or not. His Honour said this case had
originally come before the Vice-Chancellor of England,
under the title of " Halford v. Stains," and was repo' nett
in the 16th volume of Mr. Simous.* reports. The will was
so well abstracted by Mr. Simons that he would read the
purport of it from the report. The testator by his will,
dated in November, 1821, devised his freehold estates to
trustees in trust to accumulate the rents during the
life of his niece, Elizabeth Stains, and on her de-
cease to stand seised of the estates to the use
of her first and other sons in tail. The testator then gave
nil his stocks, funds, mortgages, and securities for money,
and all the residue of his personal estate to the same trustees
upon trust, to accumulate the proceeds thereof in the way
of compound interest during the life of his niece, and after her
decease in trust to transfer the securities and accumulations
to her children equally, to he vested in the male children at
21, and in the females at that age or on their marriaa The ,e.
will also contained clauses for the muintenance and edu-
cation of the children, and iu these clauses he termed the
provision which he had so made fur them sometime, their
portions and sometimes their portions or shares. When the
case came on before theVice-Chancellor of England the only
question raised was alto the accumulations of the real estate,
and his llonear then decided that the trust fur accumulations
became void at the end of 21 years after the tes-
tator's death, and that the testator's heir was entitled
to the rents during the rentainah r of the niece's life.
The point now raised was as to the accumulatious of tho
personal estate. His Honour said the question was whether
the provisions for children which were sometimes termed
portions and sometimes shares came within the meaning of
, the second section of the Thelluson Act. li they did not,
lit was admitted that they would be void under the first ace-
dim. The find section of this act (39 and 10 Geo. 111. c.
98) declared that no person should settle or dispose of any
real or personal property, so that the rents, Lames, and pro-
fits or produce thereof should be accumulated for any
longer term than the life or lives of the grantor or the
term of 21 years after his death or during the minority of
any child who upon attaining 21 would be entitled to the
produce of such estates. By the second section it was pro-
sided th it this act should not ecteud to any provision
fur raising portions for the child or children of any
grantor, or the child or children of any. person
taking any interest under the settlement or devise in which
the provisions were mad: ; the question then was, whether
the provision contained in this %di was a provision for
raising portions for a child or children of in rions taking an
interest under the devise eccordimt to tile terms of the
second section of the act ? It appeared that in case of the
death of the testator's niece without issue there wee: simi-
lar limitations in favour of the children of other persans
named in the will. The testator's niece Elizabeth was still
living. His Honour's opinion was that this provision could
nut be called u provision for raising portions fur children.
It well not a direction out of the rents and profits, or out of
the income, or by felling timber, or by any of the ordinary
methods to raise a certaiu sum for the benefit of younger
children or children generally, but it was a direction that
the whole residue of the personal estate should ho accumu-
lated during the life of the testator's niece, and then the
whole accumulations to go to her children. lie considered
that this was not the meaning of the word portions. Ho
should therefore direct that from the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the testator the provision for accumula-
tion was void, and that taro legal personal representative of
the testator was entitled both to the income of the accumu-
lated fund up to that time, and to the accumulated personal
estate up to the time when Mrs. StililleS death wound put
I an end to such accumulMious.

Mr. Mains and f Mr. Tripp, iu support of the apnlieation,
assured his Honour that the fact of these bells lit longing to
a itoman catholic eliap..l had nothing to do with the case.
The plaintiff was an aged gentleman, residing close against
the chapel, which had been built since he lied lived ia the
house he occupied, and the constant ringing of the bells
directly in front of his windons was a most intolerable
nuisance. lie was worried out of his life. It was just the
same as if a peal of bells was ringing all day. The plain-
tiff had already brought an action against the defendants at
law, and had recovered damages, thereby establishing his
right to have the nuisance put an end to. For soma time
atter the action was decided, the ringing of the behs was
stopped, but on Sunday week the nuisance was commenced
again, and it really was so serious an annoyance to the pilaw.

possible.

YOE A CONtiPILLACY.

This was an indictment against some workmen for con-
spiring to raise wages, which was tried before Mr. Justice
Lige, at the last assizes for the county of Stafford, when all
the defendants were found guilty.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Edward Perry, is a
tinplate-worker, ut Wolverhampton, and sonic time in the
early part of last year Mr. Perry received a note from the
secretary of a society in Loadou, denominated the National
Association of United Trades, intimating that in a short tills.
a deputation would wait upon him requesting him to accede
to a list of prices to be uniformly paid to the workmen.
The interview accordingly took place. The prosecutor re-
fused to accede to this demand, alit ging that his men had
never expressed dissatisfaction. The consequence of this was
that a regularly organised conspiracy was got up, the pro-
secutor's manufactory was beset by persons who made
every attempt to persuade away his workmen, they were
made drunk, sent away, and funds provided fur their
maintenance; a secret committee was formed, of which the
defendants, in the employ of Mr. Walton, of the Old Hall,
were the active agents; gradually the workmen in the em-
ploy of the prosecutor were " spirited off," and to such an
extent did the system succeed that Mr. Perry lost sixty
men between July and November. This entailed a serious
loss upon him ; he was unable to execute his orders ; ho
was obliged to send to France and Germany fur workmen,
who almost as soon as they arrived were seduced away.
' After a while the men returned to Mr. Perry " penitent,.
miserable, starving;" and iu consideration of all these cit.-.
cumstances, the prosecutor proceeded by this intlictme.nt
against the defendants for having interfered witl: and
molested his men; for having interfered with the pro,,seit.
