There is a certainty for Curlew on the Cup day, in the
Second Biennial ; and on Thursday Big Ben's 61b allowance
should secure him the Third, whatever Mr. Merry may
bring out to oppose him of his trio. The Dee &skies, for
three year-oW about one mile and a quarter, will attract
• poor field, there being a fear that Upperhand will not
travel from filiddleham, when Sir William and Man-at-
Arms should have it all to themselves, Brother to Rainbow
having run about too much within the last few days for
even the Newmarket home to be in danger. The results of
Tuesday will afford the best guide to follow for the Marquis
of Westminster's Plate, and the Chesterfield may settle
what can overthrow the top weight, Master Begot,
6 gat 716 ; while by Friday morning the Stewards' Cup
and Stakes winners should present themselves to
the notice of your readers from the Chester Cup running.
The Welter Cup, one mile and • quarter, appears already

TO TEE IDITOR OP TIM EXPRESS.
SDP,—It cannot be denied that a duller "Two
Thous col week" hss not been experienced by the patrons
of Newmarket for many a year, there be' w but four of
the tiorty-eight actual contests that took Oace worthy of
i being ionimented upon ; at any rate, future peat events
; wee not in the least interfered with by them, for plating was
the order of the day. The week was, nevertheless, prolific
1 of eurprises, few of the favourites pulling through, and in
five ~..es out of nine wherein " copious oldie " were laid the
taiente had to be content with paying. The meeting was,
se usual, well attendel by the turf 's aristocratic patrons,
uninviting as the weather was on Sunday and Monday,
and they are so thoroughly taken op with Newmarket that
we need sot wonder there is no attempt to improve the

in Parmesan agoing her, and suffered an easy defeat on
both ocoutions. The "pots" were settled for both the Two
Thousand and Derby when Bivouac cut up so badly in the
50 env, Sweepstakes, and the performance of the King of
Doitionols therein did not improve his position in the market,
for Wells had to rouse him to beat Tunic half • length, still
there was every excuse for him in the pace having been so
lad. The talents were doomed to defeat on Tuesday, se
Petruchio broke down in the nice for the Coffee-room Stable,
and not one of the "pots" showel in front for the Two
Thousand, Traducer being the only one that did them any
credit, and he was not within 101 b of the Wizard. Althouo
the pace was anything but first-rate, everything was beaten
at the balance except Traducer, the Rap, and the Wiarad;
but when Ashman let the latter out the others appeared lite-
rally to stand still, and the Two Thousand was never before
won with such ridiculous ease. So much has been said and
wntten concerning the extraordinary performances of the
Whitewall horses that little is left for me to relate,
and I eau only join in the chorus to express
my moron,* at the unlooked-for result, there having
been no "gammon" whatever in the trial of Tom Bowline,
('.qv Flyaway, and the Wizard, which took place in the
presence of the owners of the three horses mentioned, when ,
the Wizen' was beaten off. Thum the turf's glorious un-
certainty" was never more truly exemplified, for Tom
Bowline has proved in public no better than he was
last year ; and the safest guide that can be followed—relt ,
running—has rendered the chance of the dozen g
animals that finished behind the Wizard and the Rap, very
forlorn. The latter ran untried and not half prepared, so
that we may take it for granted he is • first-class horse,
and if "Mr. Tate" has one much his superior in the Drone,
I shall not despair of the latter some dawn proving himself
the best three-year-old at Melton. Weatherbound

Beutinck for the Rowley Mile Plate on Wednes-
day ; nral yet the proceedings regarding her fur
the Chester Cup were of so mysterious a character that your
reader. must not be astonished if she stay. at home. Actaeon
turned rogue, sad allowed both Emily and North Lincoln
to beat him over short distances, but I suspect we shall

not approach :sc. Albans for the Newmarket Stakes,
neither could anything else, the Metropolitan winner hav-

(Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lonls Justices.)

THE EARL OF TTIONI T. THE NAHQUIB OF WATERFORD.
This was • special case brought for the opinion of the
court upon the construction of the will of the late Marquis
of Waterford. The will, which was in the handwriting of
the testator, and was dated in August, 1852, TAM as follows:
"I, Henry Marquis of Waterfall, make the following will :
I leave Ford Castle and all land and property belonging to
me in the county of Northumberland to my wife, Louisa
Ann Marchioness of Waterford, for her life, and I desire
that her jointure shall be paid out of my said property in
the county of Northumberbind. I desire that my debts,
or the interest upon them, shall be paid from the income
of my Irish property. I leave to my sister Hush, Countess
Talbot, 1,000 a year for her lite, to be paid out of the in.
come of my Irish property. if my wife have a child by me,
'leave to the mad ehid all my property of every kind, except
my wife's life interest in my jiroperty in thecountyd North-
umberland, and except the Countess Talbirt's life interest of
I,OOW. • year in my Irish property. In we my wife have
no child by me, I leave_ my Irish property, subject to all
charges upon it, to my brotr, Lord John Beresford, and
to his children in succession ; and in case my wife have no
children by me, at her death I leave all my English pro-
perty to my brother, Lord John Bereidord, and his children
in succession. I leave my wife all my plate, jewels, and
money which may stand to my credit at Messrs. Coutts's
on the day of my death." The testator died in March last
year without leavin issue, and his brother, Lord John
year without leaving issue, and his brother, Lord John
Bereiford, succeeded to the title. liwpresent marquis has
four children, all under age, of whom the
.plaintiff is
the eldest. The questiods pat by the special case for
the opinion of the court are :-1. What interest have the
present marquis and his children become entitled to in
the freeholds and chattels real of the late marquis
under the words "to my brother. Lord
_John
Beredord, and his children in succession ?" 2. tether
any, and what portion of the personal estate of the testator
(other than the chattels real, and his plate, jewels, &c.),
panned by bin will, and to whom and for what intercede?

Mr. It'. Palmer and Mr. Erskine, for the -plaintiff, con-
tended that the present marquis took an estate for life in
all the property, with remainder to his children successively
in tail.

r. Lloyd and Mr. H. R. Ferrer, on behalf of the three
younger children, *masted that the will either conferred
upon the marquis aW his children successive life estates,

tenants in fee.

Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Vaughan Hawkins, for the dowager
marchioness, argued for an mtestacy as to the personalty.
The Attorney-General and Mr. Hobhouse, for the mar-
quis, contended for an estate tail in their client. _

meeting on the great danger which the testator ran in
making his own will, expressed their opinion that., in this
case, they would be able to carry out his evident intentio
which were that his brother, the present marquis, should
hold the real property as tenant in tail, and so it should
devolve on his children after him. With respect to the
personalty, there was clearly no intestacy, except as regarded
the English property, during the lifetime of the dowager
marchioness ; but the marquis was entitled to the personal
estate absolutely and immediately, and to the personal
estate in England absolutely after the death of the wife of
the testator.

cull r. THE QUILEN'tI COLLEGE, BIRMINGHAM.

This was a motion, ex parte, for an injunction to restrain
the defendants from closing the medical department of
their college during the ensuing term, and from preventing
the attendance of medical students thereat. The plaintiff
was the surgeon to the college, and it appeared that a short
while since a resolution was come to for closing the medical
portion of that institution. This the plaintiff insisted was
contrary to the by-laws of the college, and calculated to do
him irreparable injury. He therefore filed his bill, and
made the present motion.
Si, H. Cairns and Mr. Freeling appeared for the plaintiff.
The Vice-Chancellor granted the injunction until next
seal, the plaintiff undertaking, in the usual way, to be
answerable for damage.

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL
CAUSES. -Amu 28.

(Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Justice Willem, and Mr.
Justice RM.)
STONI r. WONT.

This was a petition by a wife for a divorce or a Judicial
separation, on the ground of cruelty and adultery. The latter
charge not being pressed, the case resolved itself into a suit
for a separation on the round of cruelty alone.
Dr. Spudis and Mr. flutings apposred for the petitioner,
and Mr. C. Foster for the respondent.
The respondent, a clerk in the India house, married the
petitioner on the 15th of November, 1F15:1. There was one
child, born in August, liks7. The petitioner, in her evi-
dence, Mid that the unhappiness of the union dated from a
visit of her husband's sister. The acts complained of were
that he hail beaten her, kicked her, pulled her hair, bit her
nu the mouth so as to make it bled, and violently pulled
her nose, threatening at the same time to wring it off. He
had moreover threatened to shoot and stab her. The
qoarrels which took place anise, according to the peti-
tioner's accouut, nut of money matters ; the respondent
having been arrested once or twice a quarter ever since the
marriage. On mum-examination the petitioner admitted
that she was apt to go into passions when she was excited
by ill.treatment ; but she had always endeavoured to
do her duty as a wife, and had never been violent unless
she hail fled. been assaulted. Had been in the constant
habit of arranging her husband's affairs for him and getting
him out of prison. The quarrels had not been occasioned
by her extravagance or by her flirting with men. Hail cer-
tainly never told her husband in a taunting manner that her
child was none of his. Respondeut's salary WWI 3001. or
4001. a year ; but on the change of the India government,
he elected to take his pension, which was 2081. per
annum. Witness had spent 111. on her baby linen. Her hus-
band had given her the money for that purpose. Had bought
=aerials with it, and usule up the things herself. On
one occasion, when Mr. Graves and Dino. Dayley were pre-
sent, the respondent called witness's mother a foul name.
It was signet deal worse than "a silly old fool." Witness was
very much exasperated by it. On one eciusiou, when the
respondent had strocit her, witness took up • dumb bell and
threatened to throw it at him if be touched her again. The
servant called in the police, but ultimately the respondent
signed the following paper :—" 9, 17, 'NC— I hereby pro-
mise not to touch either my mother-in-law or my wife a
second time, F. Stone." The petitioner was largely cor-
robomteil by Mrs. Westbrook, with whom the parties had
lodged in Adam.street, Adelphi. Witness's husband had
dismissed the respondent from his house on account of his
cruelty to his wife.
The petitioner's mother and a servant were also examined
in support of her case.
Mr. Foster having addressed the court for the defence,
The respondent was put in the box, and lie made a long
rambling statement, in the course of which lie altogether
denied, with a single exception, the acts of cruelty imputed
to him. He admitted that on one occasion lie had boxed
I his wife's ears, and he professed himself exceedingly sorry
for it. Had sometimes held her hands to prevent her, in
tleaeinnisElniegnlipet'ltferd"nlim"pitaiband.l'eirtio"nehm.
Had, in fact,
r was a ga.l hearted
I woman, but a great shrew. Hail tried to make her h •ppy,
and would have been more indulgent, only witness had
always been "devilishly hard up." Might say ho had been
"in the valley of the shadow of debt" ever since his mar-
. riage. (Laughter.) •
The court granted the separation.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Aran. 28.
(Before Mr. Commiesioner Murphy.)
TN RE GEOHGE NT. LEur.it 0. GRENFEr.t..

Thin insolvent, a lieidenant.colonel in the Buenos Arran
service, was opposed by Mr. Dowse, with whom was Mr.
Bicker Caarten, on the part of Messrs. Higgins, merchants,
Creat St. Helen's. Mr. Bargood supported.
In 1050 the insolvent entered into an agreement with
Messrs. Higgins to pruned to Buenos Ayres to purchase
horses for sale to the India government. He received large
sums which he expended, and homes were shipped to Cal-
elate. Mine were sold at Markus, and ou the part of the
Insolvent it was alleged that he had accounted for the money
he had received. On the part of the opposing creditor@ it
was alleged that he owed them 6.0110 f., and iu September
they found him in London and arrested him on a
capita. Ile hail remained in prison, and they bad not gone on
with the action, he stating that by his acreenient any dis-
pute was to be referred to arbitration, which he said he was
anxious to abide by. About September the insolvent came
to London to raise some money on bills he hail received,
soil went to Marseilles to raise an army for the Buenos
Armen government, to meet the war with Monte Video.
He alleged that he paid GOO/. as a deposit on 100 men, but
his arrest prevented him going on, and he had lost 7,0001.
in consequence. He alleged that he had paid 521/. as fees
to officials at Hoene& Ayres to get the prohibition taken
off apsinst the exportation of hones from that Ois.n. The
insolvent was asked to whom he paid the 600(. to raise
500 men at Marseilles, and he declined to answer
the question, saying he should render the parties liable to a
long imprisonment and penalties. The Swiss army was at
that time disbanded, and he had paid a deposit to rain
500 men.

I 11r. Dowse submitted that the insolvent was bound to
answer the question. It was important to know what hiel
become of the money.
Mr. Commi.sioner Murphy said he would reserve the
decision on the question. Prime facie, the insolvent had
aocouoted for all the money but 401.
Mr. Dowse complained that his accounts were not
vouched.

It appeared that the insolvent had not waited on
Mews. Higgins when he qame to London. He said he
came expressly to do so, but having to raise the army
he went to Prance, and his arrest led to a failure of
his undertaking. He bad been seven months in prison.
When arrested he had 1,500. in his possession, which had
since been spent.
A long discussion took place on the case.
Mr. Commissioner Murphy adjourned the e. a*a for •
week, and thought the beet course would be to discharge the
insolvent, he undertaking not to plead his insolvency, and
the action should go on and be referred to arhitnttiou, to
ascertain to whom any balance was due. It was a joint
adventure to purchase horses for the government, and re-
quired investigation.
The case was adjourned for a week, and the insolvent
returned to prison
