The case of Lord Brougham v. Dr. Cauvin came on for
hearing to-day, upon an application to deliver up docu-
ments. It will be remembered that Dr Cauvin
was selected by Lord Brougham to prepare the
memoirs of his life, which included about 30,000
letter received from King William IV., Lord Melbourne,
and others of the most eminent men who figured during
the past half century, and that when the first volume ap-
proached completion, Lord Brougham disputed the amount
of compensation claimed by Dr. Cauvin' and thus the wit
for the recovery of the letters from the doctor was thrown
by his lordship into Chancery.
To-day Mr. Robinson, of the firm of Williams and James,
appeared for Lord Brougham ; and Mr. Name, of the lieu
of Hume and Bird, appaired for Dr. Courts.
Mr. Hume applied -for for leave to the defendant, De.
Cauvin, to deliver up to Mr. Lockhart Thomson, oae of
the executors of Lord Murray, certain letters from Lord
Brougham and James Brougham. Esq., to Lord Murray,
which had been sent by request of Lord Brougham to Dr.
Cauvin, the doctor being perfectly willing to deliver them
up, notwithstanding his claim for lien upon them, if Lord
Brougham gave his consent thereto.
There was au application in this matter on a former oc-
casion, but it stood over to ascertain the wishes of Lord
Brougham and Mr. Lockhart Thomson upon the subject.
When the case was resumed this morning it appesrel
from a letter from Mr. Lockhart Thomson to Mr. Janice,
solicitor for Lord Brougham, that he left the matter in
Mr. James's hands.

Mr. Robinson, on the part of Mr. James, thought the
letters had better remain with the other documenta in Dr.
Csusin's possession.
The Chief Clerk, therefore, thought that no order could
be made to-day upon the subject, because Lord Brougham
had refused to give his swot to the delivering up of the
documents to Mr. Lockhart Thomson.
Aud so the proceedings ended for the present.

TAR, Yam's 5. —The Bangalore, from Southampton Feb.

andria.

In this cane the brother of a land surveyor, at Notting-
ham, pleaded that the teetator had been compelled to
make a will under duresse. The deceased who
had left an estate of lii,oool. or 17,000 i., had made a will
in favour of his wife so long ago as 1552 ; but on the lfth
of June, Ifegi, he bad taken advantage of her abeence on a
visit to make a new one, by which, after giving her all his
furniture and the house in which he lived, he bequeathed to
her a life interest in all that he had ; besides which he left
her one-third of it absolutely, and divided the remaining
two-thirds amongst his own family. For the defence it was
suggested that the testator's wife having got to know
of thi. change compelled him by her violence, sod by abso-
lutely threatening his life, to make a new one, giving every-
thing to her. This she of course denied.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Hr. Commiarioner Holroyd.)

FaIDAT, MARCH O. 8 A.M.

IX RE KANN AN AND PATTRRSOX.--ALLICGLI, INI,LING or
WHQI.ERALR TEA•IIRA LIRA.

The bankrupts were described as grocers, trading in
00-partnership in New North-road and this was the sit-
ting for last examination and order of discharge. The
bankrupts have filed no accounts, and are now in Newgate
upon a charge of swindling various firms in the whole-
sale tea trade of no less that 2,:s4XY. worth of tea, which
was sent to Scotland to be sold under the hammer. The
ease was to have been tried at the last sittings of the
Central Criminal Court, but upon the application of the
prisoner's counsel was adjourned until the April sessions.
Mr. Munn., for the assignees, said that in 1865 the
bankrupts carried on business in Liverpool tinder the
style of Patterson and Co. They absconded from Liver-
Nawl, and about eighteen months since they went to New
orth-road, from whence they also absconded about three
months ago. They now came up in custody from Newpte.
where they were detained upon the charge of fraud and
conspiracy. The bankrupts bed not surrendered, and he
would ask them whether they intended to do so.
Hannah stated that he had nothing to do with the case,
and was understood to express his intention not to sur-
render to the bankruptcy.
Patterson then said - I am falsely imprisoned, and de-
cline to say anything while lam in prison falsely.
His Honour said the proper course would be to enter •
memorandum upon the proceedings, adjourning the sitting
sine die.
Order accordingly.

POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.)

GREENWICIL

CLEVER CABTURC Or A BURGLAR. •
Witham Thwouu, aged 20, address refused, was charged
before Mr. Patteson with burgiarlously entering the house
of Mr. W. Tilley, 20, St. John's-maid, Deptford, and steal-
ing a silver watch.
It appeared that last evening the wife of the prosecutor
left home to meet her husband. On returning home a light
eras observed in the bedroom, and the prosecutor having ob-
tained the assistance of two of his neighbours, one of them
was stationed in front of the house and the other at the
back, while the prosecutor entered at the rear. Inane-
dia•ely on doing so an upstairs window was opened, and
the privoner jumped upon the roof of the wash•house,
but he was seized, and a desperate struggle took place
between bin, and his captor, whom he attempted to stab.
It was found that the drawers in the bedroom hail been
opened and a silver watch stolen. After gaining
.access to
the premises, the street door was bolted on the inside, so
as to facilitate escape in the event of anyone returning to
the house. . .

Mr. Matteson complimented the prosecutor for the tact
displayed, and remanded the prisoner.

WOOLWICH.
SURGLART AT THE HOCSIt OF St. JUSTICE WILI.E.
John Adana, a powelful and desperate looking.fellow,
was charged this day, on remand, at the it oolwich
ppolice-court, with burglary, at the mansion of Sir
James Wilde (Judge of the Divorce Court), at
Shooter's-bill. A Large amount of property was
exhibited in court, which had been found at
the prisoner's house, and which included • por-
tion of the proceed. of burglaries committed at the
residences of the following parsons: -Mr. William Jack-
son, Shooter's-hill ; Mr. Alger, Vancouver-Donee, Eltham-
rud, Lee (this gentleman offered • Lberal reward for the
appreheasion of the burglar) ; Mr. Kentiah, Belvedere ; Mr.

mon ; Mrs. Spencer, Plinustead-common ; Mr. Jones,
Plumstead-common ; Mrs. Clarke, Plumstead.common ;
and Mons. farness, Academy, Pluinstead-eommon. Evi-
dence having been taken as to the identity of the
stolen property, the prisoner was again remanded.
The notorious and desperate character of the prisoner,
who bad on one occasion broken away from live con-
stables who attempted to arrest him, and in the present
case stabbed a policeman in the act of apprehending
Liam, caused the proceedings to be Invested with consider.
able interest.

FIRE NEAR MANCHLSTER-NEARE.—This morn-
ing, between 1 and 2 o'clock, • fire broke out in the work-
shops belonging to Mr. Dibble, a cabinet-maker, situate at
Pi, East-street, Manchester-square. The tire escapes
and the endues of the Metropolitan Brigade attended,
but the flames were then issuing through the roof, and in
spite of the exertions of the firemen, the flames could
not be extinguished until the workshops, including stock
in trade and working tools were destroyed.
SMALL-PDX AT Vl'ootwicu. —This epidemic con-
tinues to infest the Woolwich district to • large

the colliershave been held th ....nt the district, and
resolution. have been passed asgto accept reductions.
At first it was resolved to aesept only a reduction equal
Ito the amount of the last ivtimasoe in their wages, which
ran from 5 to l'i per cent. ; but daring this week, for the
1 purpose of animus a turnout, the colliers agreed
to accept a reduction of 10 per cent. on their
late prices. Deputations waited upon the employers sad
stated the term. which the colliers were willing to ac-
oept ; but as the masters did not express their acceptance
of theni, the crtlliers-- with the exception of those em-
ployed by Mr. /bulky, of Bt. Helen's—yesterday ceased
work. The district is a most extensive one, and the
result of nearly 20,000 persons being thrown ont of
employment will be very severely felt, especially
where the only business is mining. The coal trade has
been very depressed for some tune back, and, as the
season of the year is drawing neer when the demand for
coal is diminished, it is ressonably feared that 1100/11 time
will elapse before any revival of importance can be anti-
cipated. But hopes are entertained that the masters will
assent to the reduction of 10 per cent instead of It. The
colliers have expressed their determination to accept no
greater reduction than that, and are resolved to remain
out until these terms are accepted.—Lirerpool Illorvry of

hll.-EDIIROU's ATTACK ON A POLICE OFFICER.

Early yesterday morning (says the Liverpool
1111irewrs) • murderous attack was made upon • easedly
imemeside, named Robert Jolly, by burglars, wins were tn.
Imeipied by the officer as they were cutlet' towage

(-past terriers °Wrack se one the Mora-
lit=passing the of Mr.
whist' is at the corner of
cli-lane and Oewat-read, when he saw • man is the
garden in front of the house. This man appeared to be
keeping watch, mid the officer opened the gate
and entered. lie accosted the intrader, asking
hint what be was doing there, when the man :mailed
en an impertinent style, " What the are you
doing here? I have as much right here as you." The
constable was about to seize this suspicious visitor, when
the latter whistled, and two other men rushed from the
direction of the parlour window of the house, and they all
instantly made a most brutal and murderous attack upon
Jolly. They first felled him to the ground, and then,
leaning over him, oommsnced beating him about the head
and kicking him about the body. He offered every resis-
tance lc his power, and grappled with one of the ruffians.
but three powerful fellows proved too much for him. They
tore his cape from off his hack, and his overcoat was
ripped up and taken off him. His staff was wrested from
him. and with this his sessilanta managed to inflict
some severe injuries. It raising his arm to protect his
head he received • blow with the deadly weapon
which rendered the limb useless. One of the burglars
had been rummaging the pockets of the constable's coat,
and bad succeed in finding the handcuffs, which were
slipped upon the wrists of Jolly. One of the ruffians had
been holding him by the neck all the tine, and with the
pressure upon his windpipe the blood spurted from his
mouth and nose. After they had cleared his pockets
the officer saw the men leave the garden, and tried to
raise an alarm, but his strength gave way, and lee became
insensible. He did not recover until about 2in the
morning, when he found he had been divested of ell his
clothing except his shirt, trousers, and undercoat. He
was securely handcuffed, and it wee with considerable
difficulty that he managed to rise to his feet. The spot is
very lonely, and, knowing that it was useless to attempt to
raise an alarm, be made the best of Lis way to Knotty Ash
police-station, which he reached in about half an hour
afterwards. The blood wee streaming (rani his
mouth, nose, and head, and lie was covered with mud.
On examining the parlour window of the have it was
found that an attempt had been made to enter the apart-
ment. The garden eases had been drawn up to the window
sill. upon which was found • jemm,y. From inquiries made
last night we find that the injured man has been confined
to his bed during the whole of the day, and has suffered
considerably from a pain in his side, caused by some injury
to the kidneys. His arm is yet entirely useless, and he is
otherwise disabled. No trace of the burglars hes yet been
obtained, and Jolly is afraid be would not be able to
identify them. as it was very dark at the time, there being
no letup near the house.

The half-yearly meeting of the South of England
11 Oyster Company (Limited) was held yesterday. The
report stated that the spat obtained last summer
in the lAngaton breeding beds had turned out to
be more abundant than the directors had antici-
pated. It was calculated that about 10,000,000 of
young oysters were removed to the wintering beds
before the close of the year, when the season be-
came too cold to allow of the removal being conti-
nued, and only half of the hurdles covered with
spat had been removed up to that time. Overtures
had already been made for thespat of 1867, but the
directors would not sanction the sale unless on
fairly remunerative terms. As regards the opera-
tions of the company generally, they have from
the tint been necessarily of an experimental cha-
racter, and will for some time continue to be so ;
and the directors considered that they might very
'reasonably congratulate the shareholders on the
lfact that no failure of a nature to throw a doubt
on the ultimate morass of the undertaking had
hitherto occurred.
