EQUITY COURTS.—MAsca 17.
(Before the Lord Chanceller sad the Lords Justices.)
THE EARL Or TYRO= V. MARQUIS OE WATERFORD.

' The arguments in this pert-heard appeal were renamed.
The matter came before the court as a special case and as an
original bearing. The points involved turned on the con-
struction of the will of the late Marquis of Waterford, who
died in March, 1e1.59. By the will the testator gave Ford
Castle and all his lands and property in the county of North-
umberlend to hie wife for her hfe, and after leaving 1,001:W.
• year to his sister, the Countess Talbot, went nu as follows :
" If my wife has • child I leave to my said child all my pro
perty of every kind except my wife's life intereirt and 1,600 t
a year to my sister. In CYO my wife has no child by me I
leave my Irish property to my brother, Lord John Beresford,
and his children in succession." Lord John Bereeford, the
brother, is now Marquis of Waterford, the late marquis
havini: without issue, and be has four children all under
= prose questions raised by the case were, what interest
nt marquis and his children have in the freehold
'AW end chattels real of the late marquis under the words
" to my brother, Lord John Berefoni, and his children in
snoenrion," and then whether any, and if so, what portion
at the personal estates pared under the will, end to whom
and for what interest.

(Before rm.-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.)
WOW r. COLE.

Tide was • motion, on the pert of the plaintiff, that the
defendant might be ordered to discharge him from prison.
The snit wee instituted to set aside • deed, dated in 1857,
by which the plaintiff purported to grant an annuity to the
defendant, payable by weekly instalments of 1/. each. A
reference having been made in the suit to the Chief Clerk to
approve of • oomp,nmue, the Chief Clerk certified that
the plaintiff should pay the defendant 501. in respect of
arrears of the annuity, and ft weekly from the let of
March last. While the matter was before the Chief Clerk,
and before the date of his certificate, the defendant wed
the plaintiff in the Clerkenwell County Court for the arrears
of the annuity, and the plaintiff was committed to prison
by the county court judge for nonpayment. The plaintiff
now moved to be discharged from prison.
Mr. Greene, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff in support of
the motion ; and Mr. J. 'W. De L. Oiffiud for the defendant.
The Vice-Chancellor made an order discharging the
plaintiff from prison, restraining the defendant from pro-
ceeding at law against the plaintiff, and ordering the plain-
tiff to pay the defendant the arrears of the annuity which
bad become due since the Ist of March last.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
BIADO T. BIUGHT.

This suit was instituted for thepurpose of taking.accounts
on the footing of &partnership between the plaintiff and Mr.
John Bright, the member for Birmingham, hi. brother, and
some other persons, which was formed for the purpose of
manufacturing carpets and printing them in colours. The
main question was on what principle tho accounts were to
be taken.

—Mr. lien., Mr. De Gez, Mr. Daniel, sail Mr. Little, were
for the parties.
The case is still uncoacluded.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—M-tacif 17.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Murphy.)
IX RI JANES IL JACKSON.

This insolvent, whose case was previously before the
court, was further opposed by Mr. Sargood for Mr. Scott,
the Chiunberlain of the City of London.
It appeared that the insolvent was one of four sureties to
the City for a loan to one Richards of 3001. out of Wilson's
Charity, no part of which had been returned. He (insol-
vent) had an annuity, under his father's will, of 30(., which,
by his insolvency, would pus to his wife, and he exclaim
himself from doing anything for the City by saying "he did
not know how long he might live with her.
His Honour dealt with the case by a judgment of six
months from the vesting order in November, at the suit of
the City of London.

PUBLIC CAUTION.—The COmmiaiioll44ll have issued the
following notice :—" Whereas certain peesone are in the
daily habit of frequenting the office and passages of these
courts by offering themselves as guides and assistants to
strangers having business to transact in the office, and by
impending and receiving money from such strangers undee
the false pretence of being in some way officers of the court:
The public ►re hereby cautioned from accepting the services
at such people, and informed that they should consult the
board affixed to the wall of the outer lobby, which will
direct them to the room they are in quest of. The object
of their visit should be stated to one of the officers behind
the inclieure, who alone can give them the information they
seek, and who alone are entitled to demand or receive any
fee for so doing.

!Mews of • pabei °mutable was that she had taken her
tlingitinssite infant, about three weeks old, from where it
had been placed to nurse, and had drowned it in • pond,
which she pointed out, and where the
ib,:iLwas found.
His LortLhip said the question for the ury to decide was
whether they were satisfied from the that she put
the clifld in the pond alive. If they were so satisfied, they
would find • verdict of guilty of murder; hut if they were
not satisfied, they must acquit her. His Lordship also ex-
pressed regret that • surgeon had not examined the child in
order to have given an opinion upon it, as to whether it was
thrown in alive or not, or whether an opinion could be formed
either way.
The jury, atter a few minutes' consultation, returned aver
diet of No. Guilty.

THE.POLICE COURTS.

SOUTHWARK.

Marra PowszantlJamer, engineers, Webberetreet, Black.
friars-road, were charged under the Metropolitan Manage-
ment Act, with refusing to remove a certain projection in
front of they premises, to the annoyance of the public.
It appeared that for some years the premises in question
had been in a dilapidated state, and the front in the Black-
friars-road was occupied by small shopkeepers, who placed
their good, out for eale three feet from the frontage, where
there was an old railing. About two years ago Messrs.
Powis and James took the whole of the extensive
mar of buildings on a long lease, and rebuilt
them at considerable expense, and finding their
Axvement in a dangemus state they repaired it, and
ed a substantial iron railing to protect their boundary. It
impairs that the inhabitants of the line of houses from
Boundary-row had given up their frontage to the pariah
authorities, who paved it, and now Mr. Wellman, the sur-
veyor of pavements of St. George's, sought to compel Messrs.
Powis and James to surrender the frontage, which they had
been at so considerable an expense in
Mr. W. Edwin, who attended for the d endants, con-
tended that the frontage belonged to his clients, and that it
had been railed in from time immemorial. They had never
given it up to the parish, and as soon as the defendants
found that their frontage was in a dilapidated state, they
eutetantially repaired it, and now it was of great utility to
them. In fact, it was nmemary to them in their business.
(Mr. Edwin! here produced a photographic view of the pre-
mises for his worship 'e inspection./
Mr. istireham mid that he had seen the premises, and the
=y adjoining. There were railings in front of the
en, and a vacant space paveable, and he supposed
that a few years ago the frontages of the houses in the
Blackfriars-road were all fenced in. The question was,
whether the frontage now in the occupation of Messrs.
Powis and James was ever given up to the public. Had it
been paved by the parish authorities
Mr. Wellman replied that it had not, and for more than
twenty years he had observed an old railing in front ; but
still, if given up to the public, it would be of great advan-
tage, and do away with the annoyance complained of.
Mr. Bonham observed that Mr. Wellman's evidence was
a strong fact that the frontage belonged to the premises in
the occupation of Messrs. Fowls and James ; and, as far as
be had seen, there did not appear to be anything inconve-
nient or annoying to the public, therefore he should dismiss
the complaint.
