niary welatance, and after sours negotiation he tweed
through his scents with the plaintiff to take an advises of
1,0001., payable by instsloweta, with interest at 10 per cent.,
to be secured on the plate and furniture of the hotel. Before
the traneaction was completed Mr. Challis, either fading
that be could do without the money, or because he we. an-
noyed at some delay in the transaction, refused to take the
loan. The plaintiff Ikea filed this bll to compel specific per-
formance, or, ia the altareathe, for damages under Bit Hugh
Galena' Act.

His Honour add this was not a case to which the ordinary
jurisdiction of specific pc...forename woald extend, and with
respect to damages, if the plaintiff were entitled to any he
weld proceed in a common I sw court.
Mr. Polka and Mr. Hobhouse were for the plaintiff, end
Mr. Palmer and Mr. Hingeston for the defendant.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
iVLY 22.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
/IFFILITS AND ANOTNIEft V. BOWIN AND OTIW.

This wee a nit arising out of the testamentary acts of
Mr. Robert Stewart, who died in a lunatic asylum en the Sth
of March, 1861. leaving a will dated September 2. 1848, and
a codicil dated the 6th of January, 1864.
Dr. Damns, Q.C., and Mr. Ayrton seemed for the
plaintiffs; Mr. Pearce for the defendant Bowen; Dr. Twirl,
Q.C., end Mr. C. Pollock for University College.
The testator wasborn in India in the year 1828; but he
was educated for the medical profession at University College
Hospital. In 1848 he went out to New Zeeland, and re-
mained there till 1852. Berra* ha left England he was a
man of quiet and temperate habits; but when be returned
to England his Mends discovered that he had undergone a
great change. He had become excearavaly addicted to drink-
ing and smoking; ha talked incoherently ; and it wee coa-
-1 tended that he had become perfectly insets. By the will be
gave his father the inteiest of 6001. for his life, sad he left
!este& to two Messrs. Jeffery,. He also bequeathed someland
in New Zealand to a Mr. J Witte ; and the residue of his pro-
perty (which wee worth about 6,0001.) be divided between his
brother and stater and their families. The codicil, the va-
lidity of which was disputed, appointed Mr. Jeffery and Mr.
Bowen his executors, and, after giving a number of legacies
to various Mends, and to University College Hospital, it
concluded with a singular provision, to the effect that if any
difficulty arose as to the nneterstaading of the will, the pro-
pony should be given in treat to Dr. Cumming and the Rev.
Mr. Burns, or to agents appointed by the Free Church of
Scotland and University College Bonded.
In emelt of the codicil an intimate friend of the decamped,
named Rochefort, was called to show that the deceased's
deprogram of spirits and his (prises in 1854 bad orient from
his having been mowed with love, and that they did not at
thatperiod indicate insanity. The witness, on cross-exa-
mination, however, made various admisaions which appeared
to throw great doubts on the deerateed's capacity; in addition
to which strong evidence was called on the other side.
Amongst other thing. a great number of ridiculous memo-
randa which had been found, in the deceased's handwriting,
were produced.
The jury, without hesitation, found • verdict adverse to
the codicil.
Sir C. Cromwell condemned the defendants in the meta.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Jmx 22.
(Baas Mr. Ousushdausr Murphy.)

of the same Zed of Fehraary a are occurred on the meeker
of Mr. Jobs Egremont, a hisod of the prosecutor. It ter
singular that nearly every one in the village wee present at
and rendered every exertion to subdue the fire but the
prisoner, who was never seen neer, • fact which wee some-
what remarkable, IA his absence might naturally be accounted
for by the euggeetion that be wee occupied at the time in
the yearliuge of Mr. Ireland, by placing weenie
Csiwtte,rg food. The prisoner had been in Hull some
time before, in company with • man named Hullos
Inquiring at several shops for arsenic. The man
Bullas was the brother-in-law of the prisoner, and
had been in trouble on a charge of poisoning cattle
some years befine. In Hull they procured a large quan-
tity of arsenic, which wan seen and remarked tian„ty
several parties at the time; this called forth an o
dem from the prisoner or his companion that they could
get any quantity of arsenic and strychnis also. To show
some motive or malice on the part V tee prisoner foe commlt-
flag this offence, it would be proved that the prosecutor and
Mr. //grement had joined in a prosecution at Sheffield against
the primmer for an infringement of the game laws and for
resulting one of their game watchers; for which the pri-
mmer waa fined 101. Dodsworth had frequently threatened
the prosecutor, and had told him " that he would make him
pay for it, and need other expressions, showing that he
entertained great malice towards the prosecutor. On the
same morning that the geldings died, the fact that the
animals bad bees poisoned by strychnla was mentioned in
the pprrtueooooers presence, who ridiculed this notion, and
ms•ifested that he had some notion of the real poison used.
After hearing the evidence of the prosecutor, the learned
judge &eked Mr. Peke if he thought he could make oat •
cue to go to the jury. The main point. in his opening were
the prisoner's malice, and his having purchased some anode
a abort tuns before. The prosecutor admitted that then
were several other people in the village entertaining hostile
feelings to him, and it we, also • known fact thatiuvenie
was rather extensively need In agrioulturel pursuits. He was
quite estimated that the prevention had been entered upon.
and such a rufous offence could not be paned over without
eems proceedings being taken ; but at the seine time it was
his duty to protect the prisoner, and if no other evidence could
he offered trading to criminate him, heehould direct the jury
to find a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Price said no further
evidence could be offered, sad the jury, under the direction
of his lordship, returned • verdict alliel
