LAW INTELLIGENCE

ROLLS COURT.-TUESDAY
SPENCER V. SPENCER.

This is a suit for the administration of the estate of the
late Mr. Richard Spencer, of Breck-road, Everton, near
Liverpool, and the case now came before the court to take
the decision of the court on several questions which had
arisen on Mr. Spencer's will. The will contained the
following bequest: "I give and bequeath to my house-
keeper, Ellen Scarisbrick, the household goods and fur-
niture, linen, beds, and pictures, excepting such as are
mentioned in a memorandum herewith, which at the time
of my death shall be in the house I now occupy in Breck-
rend." The will was-dated on the 28th July, 1851. In
1852, the testator left his house in Breck-road and went
to reside at Upholland, where his furniture was removed
to, and at the time of his death he had not any furniture
or effects at the house in Breck-road. With the bill was
a memorandum which had been admitted to probate, in
which the testator specified crrtain pictures, and directed
that they should "go to " different parties mentioned.
One of the questions which now came before the court
was, whether, under these circumstances, the furniture
and effects in the house at Upholiand passed to Ellen
Scarisbrick, and whether the pictures should go as
directed in the memorandum. Testator also gave his
watch and jewellery to his nephew, Thomas Spencer; and
another question which arose was, whether under this
bequest were included a gold watch and some ancient
coins which testator was possessed of.
The Master of the Rolls held that the furniture at Up-
holland did not pass under the bequest of the furniture at
Breck-road, and there must be a declaration that the gift
was redeemed. He was' of opinion that the gold watch
and coins passed to Thomas Spencer, a gift ofjewellery and
splate comprising all articles made of gold and silver. The
pictures mentioned in the memorandum must go to the
parties named in it.

LION IN THE CRIMI

It will not have been for

. held in the camp before
Sebastopol to try Private George Day, a young soldier
bolonging to the 77th Regiment., for tne wilful murder of
an artilleryman while in the hospital, the object be'ne; to
plunder the murdered man of some money he had con-
cealed under the bed on which he was stretched from the
effects of wounds rocpit,ii tn

The execution of the young soldier belonging to the 77th
Regiment bas taken place. I cannot well get time to pen
a lengthened.report of the circumstances attending this
painful event. Let me, however, say, that before seven
o'clock in the morning I found myself on the plain or
drill ground of the Light Division, close to Cathcart's
Hill. Here the whole division was drawn up in an open
square. In the centre two upright posts and a cross beam,
from which a rope depended, marked the spot selected for
the execution. Close to this gallows yawned a grave. At
the moment of my arrival, the prisoner had not made his
appearance. I looked at the soldiers, and never have I
seen troops wearing so serious an air as the men did this
morning. They stood like statues,wit h pale, anxious faces,
and eyes all directed to one spot. From the heavy rain
of the morning they all wo-e their dark waterproof over-
coats, which costume certainly increased the dismal
appearance of the scene. . Outside the square the ground
was kept by the 77th Regiment—that to which the crimi-
nal belonged, and. spectators were not allowed to pass
beyond, or rather-inside, this line. Behind it were many
officers on horseback; and on the high 'ground at the
upper angle of the square was gathered a large number of
pedestrians. The. officers of the division were chiefly
mounted and within the square. The rain passed away,
but the strong wind continued. Soon the notes of the
" Dead March in Saul " were heard, and then- the pri-
soner, attended by a small guard on foot, a clergyman in
white robes, and twelve provost serjeants, mounted and
armed, marched firmly, and in an erect attitude, into
the square and on towards the gallows, whence he could
plainly see the grave prepared for him, and which his
corpse was so soon to fill. What thoughts must then
have filled his mind ! The music ceased. The hangman
placed his victim under the fatal beam. He took off his
red jacket, adjusted the noose around his neck. placed a
white night cap over his face and suddenly, before any
one seemed to expect it, the drop fell. with instantaneous
effect, for plenty of rope had mercifully been given. The
neck was evidently broken. The head of the deceased
fell on his shoulder, and the body swayed to and fro in
the wind. The provost serjeants remained drawn up in
line on one side of the gallows. The chaplain and several
military officers formed a group on the other side
All was over. Half of the troops were marched off
the ground before the body was eut down. It re-
mained suspended about an hour, and then a party
of soldiers approached, and the corpse was placed in the
grave. The chaplain still remained on the spot, but,
whether he said or read any prayers I cannot state, I was
too distant to hear. While the grave was being filled in,
the gallows was rapidly taken to pieces, and I turned
homewards sickened by a sight which the law declares
necessary, but which must ever shock the mind of those
who have unfortunately to witness it. I have only to add
that the executed soldier is said to have bed n a Londoner.
The office of Calcraft was performed by one of the Land
Transport Corps, whose services as executioner will be
paid for by a donation of 10 or 15 guineas, and a discharge
from the army; as well as a free passage to England.

was creditable to the nation, and was well worth a visit
from all persons. It also showed what could be done by
one man, who had accomplished more with regard to that
building than any man since the days of Louis the Grand,
or of the first Napoleon.
Mr. Verelst regretted that they bad cot a Napoleon in
England, as one of the finest opportunities that could possi-
bly occur for him to exercise his taste, now offered itself
near the Town Hall. He had visited that spot since the
clump had been pulled down, and he was never so much
struck with the architectural beauties that presented them•
selves to his view. It would richly repay any person of
taste to visit and inspect the same. Mr. Verelst then traced
a plan by which the beauties of the building might be
better developed, but, at the same time, exprrsied his
doubts as to whether they could be carried out.

Mr. Picton saidtliecojst would be so great tbt it could
not be done, but suggested the propriety of having a view
of the building taken before the premises, now about being
erected, were commenced.

After: a fec observations from Mr. F. Howard, as to
snaking an addition to St. George's Hall, on the ssde adjoin-
ing the present churchyard, which was about to be c'ofsed,
the practicability of which he did not enter into,
The Chairman called upon Mr. Huggins to read the
paper for the evening, on " The Relationship of the
Picturesque to Architecture," and proved a most interesting
subject to the members of the association.

An animated conversation on the paper followed, and a
vote of thanks to Mr. Huggins conc'uded the business of the
evening.

RUTLAND ELECTTON.—The Hon. G. H Heathcote, son of
the miring member, now a peer, was on Tuesday elected at
Oakham, without opposition, to represent the county of
Rutland.

TIIE NEW CAMBRIDGE PROFESSOR. OF MUSIC. —The
election of a Professor of Music, in the room of the late
Professor Walmeslev, took place on Tuesday. The election
has fallen on Mr. William Sterniale Bennett.

The Bishop of London has not had a Manse, as erro-
neously stated. The right rev. prelate is, if anything,
better, being able to take occasional carriage airings. It is
feared that his lordship will be unable again to attend to the
active duties of his episcopate.

Count Orloff, encountering Marshal Barnguay d'llilliers
in the salons of the Tuileries, is said to have observed
smilingly, "Ah ! M. le Marshal, it is you, I think, who
lately visited our country." "Yes, Count," replied the
Marshal, " it is I. who had the pleasure of leaving a Gard at
Bomarsund."

THE APPROACHING Acconctimoisrvr. —Dr. Dubois, the
Empress's accoucheur, tools up his residence at the Tuileries
on Saturday last, and is never to be absent, during the
night, from an apartment close to that of his august patient.
The extreme limit for this great event is said to b' the 14th
of the present month. The widow of Admiral Bruat, it is
said, has been selected to fill the distinguished situation of
governess to the expected infant of their Imperial Majesties.
INQUEST ON MR. DUNN.—On Tuesday Mr. William
Payne, the coroner, held an inqnest on the body of Mr.
William Dunn, a gentleman of fortune, lately residing at
Staines, who war. found dead in a bath, in Bath•strot,
Newaste-street. The owner of the baths spoke to the
circumstances under which Mr. Dunn was found dead in a
bath, in which the water was 13 inches deep. 'Pt e mouth
