WOES lIIDIVI.—ATAVAD LITIGATION.

The testator in this came hod died ft bag age so Feb. 10,
1843. He wee the late Mr. Hobert Hides, a table-knife
maker, at StulliAd. In the Janutry of the sear just named
be was isles ill of bronchi,* and on the 28th he sent fur
Mr. John WeLiem Smith (now rye Smith), a solicitor, who
wrote out • will in Lie ',metric!, mud it wee executed on the
spot. By that instrument the testator &rooted that his two
ems, George and Hobert, who were assisting him en trade,
should have the option of purchasing the business ; that his
widow should have the proceeds during:lor life, and that the
property ah,uld afterwards 61 equally divided amongst Lis
ten chioiren. His estate realised something under 3,0001.
l`roh do of the will had Lan takut out in the usual course;
but it was new oppeed on the ground of incapacity, by three
' of the eons, Matthew, Charles, and Edwin. It was auppeeted
Ly thu widow, who still survived.
On liehoit of the defendant. Mr. Pye Smith detailed a
nuinter of circumstances cocueckd with the preparation owl
csecution of the will ; and oiler evidence was given to show
that the dereseect's Sinar had not In the lead affected hie
mental faculties; but that he retained lie testamentary
capacity to the lest.
The cams in opposition to the will was that the deceased
was too far gone to undrrstim.l the precise Lacrimal of the
will, and that Lis rid wish had been that his two sons
Grouse and Hobert should cony on the business for the
bee tit of hie widow. The r, eult would Lave been, that Is-
sued of her receiving 13Ul. a year, she soul' have had at
least twice that amunn, c d .he would then Lave been aide
to giverecei her 'miner children a fee better education than they
had ved.

The three plaintiff* were all examined. They stated that
their father wea inseasible for three weeks beton: his death.
William Hides mid that he was in the room when the will
was drawn up; that Mr. Pyri Smith at fret refused to let it
he executed; that be at length yielded to the entreaties of
George, lithe guided the test... Ales hand. The witnesses., on
cruse-examination, admitted that they had been in pecuniary
ditli.ultiett, whereas their brothers had continued their
father's haainsaa with advantage. They also odd that they
had been induced to bring the present suit bemuse they had
recently become aware through raiding the rerorts of this
court in the newspaper, the, ttrili, might he .et, sold. it th.
teatetor was not of monad mind.
The jury at once found fur the defendant.
Sir C. CIVNIWtII commented sharply ou thi audacity of lbe
ilaintifla In attempting to impugn the will on such slender
grounds, and condemned them in the wets.

*EAVES AND LLEEVE® v. BAYNTON.

The object of this suit was to contest a will made on the
29th of January last ty en old maiden lady of eccentric
habits, named Mary heaves' who resided in lodgings near
Chriet chin( b, Spltslealde. Till a comparatively recent date
she had carried= • email bookaellingLusicew in partaership

=mall* bail acquired a property amounting to nearly 3,0001.,
sod with that el= Wired. She died about a fortnight after
the extintiou of her wi,l. The defendant, who weinuined
the validity of the icatrui.,eot, was her =win; but be alleged
=at he had been like • broiler to her. The plaistiffs were

ier&

Mr. tierjesat Balm:Wm sad Mr. Day ware wawa for the
pliattfle; the Quart's Advocate met Dr. Bib apprenag
lee the detrodeat.

The ;se on behalf of the will woe ace* :—Being
takes the testatrix expressed a wish to make a tote-
swetary tbspositlrs of her property, both to the surgeon who
wee attending her sad to her cousin. She was a preen of
Ctisbrit., sad °Owed to go to the expense of employ-
olkisor, wherrown the defendeut offered to draw ep
ewe for ber. She desired tbat she ought be barked with her
alms, and that same swell legacies should be given to bar

Glenda • after which she expressed a wish that the residue
should be enjoyed by the defendant Having made a memo-
randum of her inatructions, Mr. Ilayntoa went away and
wrote the will, which he took to her bedside and read to her.
Sbe thee executed it, and it was witnessed by Mrs.
Phillips, • n.ighbour, and by • charwoman who was
in attendance upon her. Mr. Banton and Mr. Cam-
ley, the to tUcapacity
_of the
deceased. MIT.IcePhIn said that clad had made
the acquaintance of the deceased by rescuing from
the children in the street who used to call her " mher iser,"
and pelt her with mud. When witness went Into her bed-
room the deceased did not appear to know her till she said
"1 em your special constable." (Laughter.) The testatrix
alluded to her condition, and said it was • bad job ; adding,
that she had been told that unless she made a will she could
not be buried over the way tthat is, at Christchurch), and
that the crown would take her money. She thin executed the
will.

Mr. Scricent 13allantine made some severe remarks on the
conduct of the defendant, whom he charged with having pro-
cured the will by working on the fears the old ledy seemed
to entertain, that if she died intestate she could not be burled
with her sisters, which the learned terjeant described as hav-
ing been " the darling object of her life." He then called a
woman named 'knottier, who lived in the house, but whose
evidence did not show that the defendant had attempted
either to deceive the deceased or to influence her in his favour.
The jury, without hesitation, found a verdict tubstan-
listing the will.
Sir C. Creswell decreed probate, but said he should not
condemn the plaintiffs in the coins for two reasons. In the
first Owe it would be useless, for it appeared that they were
paupers; and the defendant had, moreover, been guilty of
great Imprudence, In having himself drawn tip a will in his
own favour. At the same time he (the learned judge) was
very far from greeting the costs of the plaintiffs out of the
estate, for the suit had very much the appearance of being
an emperimental cmc.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JAN. 29.

This intialvent, a trainer of race horse* at Epsom, wee op-
posed by Mr. Reed for • Mr. Taylor, end for Mr. O'Malley,a barrister. Mr. Downs upported.
Some time ego the insolvent applied under the Protecting
' Act, and his petition was dismissed. The complaint of Mr.
Taylor, a licensed victualler, was a vexations defence. He
had a rue horse celled Brsbantio, which won a nee for
which the insolvent received 201., and when Mr. Taykw de-
manded his horse he refused to part with It. An 'Won via
brought in trover fur the horse end for the stake'. The
matter was referred under the Common Lsw Procedure Act,
and the award was 621. The costs were 1131.
' It appeared that Mr. O'Malley placed his horse Usurer,'
for which be had given 451., with the insolvent, and this
horse the inallunt bad sold to Paddock, the pugilist, for 101.
and it wee then sold to a Captain Rogers for 161. The in-
solvent said hie bill against Mr. O'Malley was 141., and he
raid him to sell the bone to pay it. On the other hand Mr.
O'Malley swore that ho never gave any authority to the
insolvent to sell the horse, and he had brought an action
egainst Captain Rogers. The hone was to be entered at
Bedford, but It wee not entered, and he was liable to pay the
entrance fee.
Mr. Commie/loner Phillips required further evidence before
he decided the cue, after the audacious manner in which
the insolvent had contradicted Mr. O'Malley.

that some of the letters would contain poet-office orders, gave
notice at the Money Order-office. Shorfly afterwards the
prisoner presented a post-office order for 84,, payable to M.
Liebitm. It was signed " Emile Liebius ;" tot the clerk at
once perceived that the signature we. not that of the prosecu-
tor and gave the prisoner into custody. He said he had found
the letter containing the ceder In the street, and had learned
the required signature from the letter, which he then gave
up. It was suspected that be belonged to a nog, who
watched the postman delivering his letter, and then waited
for an opportunity to get in and rob the letter-bone.. Most
of there houses were let in offices, and the outer door was,
after a certain time, left open.
Mr. Lancelot Heatley, of the money order department ;
Mr. F. It. Jarboe, the comptroller of that department ;
Hoary Meson, the house-boy ; James Whitehead, the letter-

I A tall, lady-like person, who stated her name to be Eliza-
beth Clapvand who appeared to be about 32 veers of age,
applied to Mr. Hammitt for protection under the provision a
the Divorce Act. Her statement wee to the followingrifect :
lat present reside at Hackney. In the year 1844 I lived at
Bridport, in Dorset, and there first became acquainted with •
person named Richard Clapp, carrying on business as • nur-
seryman. He paid his addresses to me. I believed his in-
tentions honourable, and accepted him es asuetor. After fre-
quent visits, and repeated promises of marriage. I had the
misfortune to become enceinte by hint, and I left my home
to avoid disclosures, and arriving in London took up m
abode at Hempstead, but subsequently went to reside with
my uncle at Hackney. In the early part of October, Mr.
Clew, to my infinite astonishment, presented himself at the
house of my relative, stating that, having premised me mar-
riage, he was desirous of fulfilling the obligation. On the
following day we were married at the parish church of
Stepney. After the ceremony we returned to my uncle's
roof, sad spent the day; but, at night, the first
on which I was a wife, my husband declined sharing
my bed, and I slept alone. On the next morning, the 9th,
Mr. Clapp, myself, and sister started for Bridport, there to
reside. During the journey my husband scarcely spoke to
me, end on arriving at an inn a few miles from home he
suddenly disappeared, without saying Good-bp,'• or even
mentioning one word of his intention. I waited there until
• late hour, expecting his retorts, but eventually was com-
pelled to enter Bridport alone, for my sister bad also absented
herself. About a mouth afterwards I gave birth to a eon,
who fa now alive. I have never seen or heard from my hue-
band since he left me as described, nor received the slightest
explanation of his conduct or motive for so deserting me. lie
has not furnished me with one penny towards my support
since our marriage, and I have had to maintain myself by my
own lawful industry. I have acquired money and furniture
by this means, and independent of this feet an, In expectation
of bequests at the decease of some relatives, for all of which
I now ask this court to grant me an order of protection.
Mr. Ilinamill, after some questions, which were satisfac-
torily replied to, observed that he could not see any cause for
the desertion sworn to, and consequently there existed no
matron for refusing applicant the required order.
Order greeted accordingly.
SOUTHWARK.
Henry Hind:, a waterway, in the employ of her Majesty's
Customs, was brought up before Mr. Combo for further exa-
mination, charged with stealing 36 meerschaum pipes from a
case, the property of Messrs. Woolf and Co , Sambrook-
mud, BasingWiatrect. The sue was partially gone into
on Saturday, the 22nd instant.
Mr. Lewis in opening the case, said that the prisoner held
• confidential situation in the Conon" and at times had
charge of valuable property to transmit from foreign steamers
to tho Custom House. On the 20th of last month, a ems
containing meerschaum pipes strived by the Jobe Ball
steamer from Hamburg, consigned to hie clients by Mr.
Woolf, of Vienna. Those pipes were all made to pattern.
Eleven of num ware numbered from 13 to 19, two wore
numbered 17, and four 16. One of the latter was traced to
the prisoner's possession. It appeared that se soon
es Messrs. Woolf and Ce. opened the case, they
mimed the 35 pipes, and the ono numbered 16
was traced to tU prisoner, and several other
were found In the possession of Mr. Symonds, a
tobacconist, of 62, Piccadilly. Without making any com-
ments on the conduct of the latter, he would now bring for-
ward sufficient evidence to cell for • remand, to enable a wit-
ness from Vienna to &need. It was • very serious offence,
and required a thorough investigation. Ile then called
Mr. Edward Woolf, who said he wee • merchant, in part-
nership with Mr. Baker, of Sambrook-court.
Mr. George Hardy, a tide surveyor, said he was on board
the John Bull steamer when she came from Hamburg on
the 17th of last month. On the following day annulie saw
the case of pipes delivered to the prisoner on board a lighter,
to be taken to the Custom-house. The prisoner had maimed
him on the occeeion In examining goods.
William Jarvis, a City detective officer, mid he heard of
the robbery, and from information he received he went to the
King's Anne public-house, Hickman's Folly, and found
the pipe produced. It had been put up kg a tattle by the
prieener'e daughter. It was marked inside No. 16. Altar
that ho saw the prisoner and told him of the serionsnees of
the charge, when be said he bought it nearly opposite
the Custom-house, and gave it to his danghter for her
young man. A few days afterwards he found six
pipes in the posesidon of Mr. Symonds, a tobacconist, of No.
64 Piccadilly. They were identified by Mr. Woolf. Mr.
Symonds said ho purchased a number of pipets—he could
sot say how many—of a man on the 21st of December. He
' did nut know who the men was or where to find him, bet
he had dealt with him before in tobacco. He gave him
41. Si. for them. On the 26th of the present month, Jarvis
came to him and he handed over to him the six pipes pro-
duced. He could not sly how many he bought, as he never
' bad either bill or receipt.
Mr. Lewis &eked fora remand in order to get the attendance
of the manufacturer from Vienna. It was • serious robbery,
and for the protection of the public required thorough fume-
tigation.
-Mr. Combo remanded the prisoner, and accepted ball kr
his appearance in three weeks, thus enabling toe witnesses
fromOtrumny to be in attendance.
