This was a station to dissolve an injunction which had
been obtained by the plaintiff, restraining the dedendante,
the London at.d Westminster Bank, from loaning execution
for 7,8001. upon a judgment obtained by tnem at suit of
their public officer against the Newcastle, Shodlds, and Sun-
derland Union Banking Company, of which toe plaintiff
had born a shareholder.

Mr. Wood and Mr. Bates, for the plaintiff, contended
that the injunction ought to he continued, on the ground,
first, that the plkintiff bad duly transferred his
wham before the judgment ►ed been obtained,
and secondly, that it the court should hold otherwise,
the action which had terminated in the judgment had been
brought by the London and Westminster Bank, under the
direction of the directors and winding up committee of the
Union Bank, and to assist them in obtaining contribution
from the shareholder.

Mr. Solt, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Campbell, for the defendant,
the registered officer of the London and Westminster Book,
contended that the plaintiff was still a shareholder of the
Union Beak, on the ground that the formalities required by
the deed of @Ailment of the company had not been
observed in the transfer of the plaintiff's shares.
This bad already been decided by the court of
law la whisk the judgment had bees recovered. They
contended also that as the action had bout brought at the
sole risk of the London and Westminster Bank, and the
money recoverable under the jodgment was intended for
themselves and not for the Union Bank, they were them-
selves the bona fide plaintiffs in the action, and not seemly
the trusters of the Union Bank. That being so, they wore
entitled to the benefit of their judgment,
The Vice-Chancellor, withoutoalling for a reply, said the
cis/lotion was whether the proiseediags at law though taken
he the name of the London and Westminster Bank,
were or not substantially the proceedings of their
debtor, the Union Back, or the directors or wind-
ing up committee thereof. If they were then clearly
the injunction ought to he continued. Upon the
evidence as it stood, be thought if this were the proper
tiros for deciding the question, that his opinion would pro-
bobl7 be against the deteadaats. As it was, a ease for bites
ligation wee saMeleatly shown, and the injunction would
tiorrotoro have to he gontlausd. As a awe of celluiion hod
not beim rally established, bat only a cis* for investigation,
the proper order would he to continue the Injunction, and
divest tM money to be recoverable under the judg-
ment, to be breagtE4 omit.

solicitor whether his cousins-german mos removed should
share equally in the residue of his personal property, be
replied, " I thick they should take equally ;" to other situa-
tions he merely &severed,. " I am not prepared." From
such instructions the will is question was fsirly copied, and
about 6 p.m. on the same day executed by the de-
ceased, by signing his nark In the presence of the
solicitor and his clerk, having previously refused to leave
Miss Bowyer any legacy whatever. The will was afterwards
sealed up, sad, epos some remark being made about the
executon, the deceased said what be had dons he would abide
by. The evidence of Mr. Bodenham, the solicitor io ques-
tion, was to the effect that, at the time of the execution, the
testator seemed to be of sound and disposing mind ; but that,
after the death of the testator, very considerable doubt bad
been throws into hie (witness's) mind as to the capacity of
the testator, in coasequenee of the dories of the Ilertfor.ishire
estate, which had no caesium'. . _

The Qaten's Advocate appeared in support of the will,
which be contended was made while the testator was of sound
Skied, and contained his real wishes and intentions. He
submitted the evidence was in support of the statement
that the deceased had great regard and affection for his
cousins german oche removed. With rsgud to the incon-
sistent devise 'el the Hertfordshire estate, he sonteaded it
might have been a lap.e of memory on the part of the de-
ceased, or a misunderstanding on that of the solicitor. He
therefore trusted the court would decree the administration.

Dr. Haggard was heard on the same side.
Dr. Harairg (with whom wu Dr. Hayford) objected to
the will, on the ground that the deceased bad lived to the
age of 73 always and purposely intestate ; that at the time it
was made he was in • hopeless state—blind, deaf, unable
to feed himself—that he never rose from hie bed after
its execution. It was drawn up by • solicitor who knew
nothing of his affairs, or the number of his relatives; but
who wu the professional adviser of the lsdv who was the
pi incip el mover in the case. The learned advocate denied
the demised had ev.r sent for Mr. Budenhatn, and con-
tended the testator only originated ens bequest in the will ;
that one being of the property in Hertfordshire. Ile sub
mitted it was' capricious and unreasonable disposition of
the personalty, and not to be sonsunted for by any reason
given to the court. He also contended witness after witness
had deposed untruly as to the capacity of the deceased at a
time when the medical advisers were quite clear that he was
utterly incapable.
The Queen's Advocate with Dr. Heggard were heard in
reply.
The 'unmet judge postponed his decision.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YesTERDAT.
Berns rim
IM TRZ MATTZZ W X3IMA LOVD/A YAW/OLD.
. .

This Insolvent, the Kepis., opplied fur her final order,
supported by Mr. Dauer. fib. had been lessee of the
Pavilion Theatre, and propos. d to pay her creditors 61. a
month. out of her salary as an actress of 71. a week.
Mr. D iwse now asked the tourt to grant • final order,
instead of protection from time to time. Until the ioeolvent
obtained her final order she would be liable to be sued in the
county courts, and in some of those courts thejudges paid no
attention to tte interim order of protection, and therefore it
was necessary to cbtain in this Cu. the final order It was
the practice of this curt where proposals were made only to
grant protection ; but if there was no final order given to
Mrs. Yarnold she would be sued in the county courts, and
to prevent committals would have to pay the debts, and
thereby would be prevented from paying the money she had
undertaken by her proposal in this court, • proposal which
she was mat anxious to carry out for the benefit of her
creditors.

The Chief Commimioner asked what security there would
be, if she obtained • final order, tat she would keep her
word, and pay the money. They (the commissioners) had
found such treachery on the part of insolvents alter they had
attained their object to the interests of their creditors, that
their word could not be taken.

Mr. DOllle said in this COSI there was a condition, and if
not complied with, protection could be refused. lie appre-
hended that she was entitled to her final order. There was
nothing in the act about adjourning acne because a proposal
was made, and the course that mild be ►dopted was to
rescind a dual order if a preposal was not kept.
The chief clerk (Mr. Simpson) said that not keeping a
proposal was no ground for rescinding a final order. Be-
tides, an interim order was as much protection as a final
order.

Mr. Diem said some of the judges of the county courts
did not think so.

---thedhiefVPmmiesioner said tke proposal must be made
in the mail m . They could not speculate on what
particular judges would do.
On the put of the involve's., it was stated that since the
lest hearing the insolvent had been sued in a county court
for a debt in her schedule. The judge ( Mr. Serjeant S:orks)
had refused to recognise the interim order of prctection by
this court, and to save a committal Mrs. Yaruold wu obliged
to pay the money.
His Honour declined to make a difference in this et se, and
merely granted protection. Ile could net suppose that any
county court jadtee would refuse to recognise the protection
given by an interim order as much as a final order.
Oa inspecting the proposal it was discovered that it was
to pay 51. a month, so long as the insolvent received 71. a
week. The officer of the court objected to the addition,
and it was struck out. Protection was granted to the 20th
October, and the insolvent ordered to pay 51. a mouth, com-
mencisg on the Ist September next.
WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.—YESTERDAY.

Baron • Juar. ---------
FLIKTOFF V. SLowitas.
This war an action to recover the sum of 171., for two
quarters' not of rooms in 118, Chancery-lane, from the 26th
of December, 1649, to the 24th of June, 1850.
Mr. Ribton, in stating the case, said that the
plaintiff was a respectable bookseller residing at 153,
Fleet-street, and the defendant the well-known
sheriff's officer. In Midsummer, 1847 the de-
fendant took the premises aforesaid from the plaintiff,
as • yearly tenant, at • rent of 341. per annum. lie
continued in occupation of the said premises till September,
1849, when he served the plaintiff with a notice to gait in
the Christmas quarter following. This notice the plaintiff
refined to accept, on the ground that he was entitled to • six
months' notice, to terminate at the commencement of the
term, that is in Midsummer. This half year's not the
defendant refused to pay, and the eimple issue for the jury
to try was, whether the defendant was • yearly tenant or
not, and ilea, the law was clear upon the case that a six
months' notice was necessary.
The plaintiff and other witnesses were called, who proved
the fact of the defendant holding the premises under the
plaintiff as a yearly tenant.
Mr. Roberts, for the defence, endeavoured to prove that
the agreement as • yearly tenant was only a continuation of
a former written agreement, which could not be produced.
as it was not stamped. The learned judge, however, being
of opinion that it was a new agreement, decided against him
on ibis point. He then called several witnesses to prove
that the premien were untenantable in consequence of the
offensive smells which issued from the sewers.
Mr. Ribton, in cross-examining the witnesses at some
Mirth, succeeded in eliciting the fact that those smells
existed before the yearly agreement had been entered into,
and showed that as the defendant had continued in ()coupe-
tion of the premises from 1847 to 1849, it was dear that he
could not have found the smells so objectionable as it wee
endeavoured to be represented they were. The ease far the
defence having closed, the learned counsel for the plaintiff
addressed the bury at considerable length, and
The jury, without troubling the judge to so through the
evidence, returned • verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed.

taking the clothes of her Md, she remarked to her that it
was very strange, if her story was true, that there should be
nothing missing, and the prisoner at that Use made no
a. ewer, but shortly afterwar .s she said that a loaf bad been
taken, ind this was the loaf that was afterwards found
by her son in the privy. The prisoner bad only been a short
time in their service, and she bad bad occasion to complain
of her not being elms is her work.
Mr. Adams, the prosecutor, devoid that immediately
after the alarm el flee bad teen green, ha went to the pr.-
Bellied room and found ahe was not there, and the bed did
not appear to be tumbled, or as though any one had been
anon it. When to did see the prisoner she was dressed.
Thomas Lucas, a labouring man in the prosecutor's see,
vice, deposed that he asked the prisoner why she did not
give an Mayne after the two men had lett her bedroom ? and
she replied that she was afraid to do so for fear they shou:d
come both and kill her.

Mr. Cobbett, in addnesieg the jury for the prisoner, said
that the ease wee certainly one of a my mysterious charac-
ter ; but although they might think the conduct of the pri-
soner was auspicious, yet it appeared to him they might
charitably came to the opinion that the evidence did not con-
clusively make out the charge, and up 'a that ground would
say that the prisoner was not ratty. The learned counsel
then urged upon the jury the absents of any =wive for the
commission of each a diabolical act, and sail that the state-
writs made by her were evidently given while she was in
a stem of great alarm and confusion, and therefore they
outfit sotto be pressed too hard aghast her.
The Rev. Mr. Barker, the vicar of Pastime, was called to
speak to the prisoner's character. It appeared that her
father acted as parish Mirk, and that the prisoner had borne
an exceedingly good character for the pesiod he had known
her.

The Chief Baron having summed up, the jury,
after a very short dtliberation, returned a verdict

John Proudl,y, 36, a savage looking fellow, was indicted
for the capital offence of feloniously stabbing George Smart,
with intuit to murder him. Mr. Johnson prosecuted, and
Mr. Creasy defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was • labourer, living at
Slinden, and, according to the evi tence, he had enter-
tained • strong animosity against a person named
Wellsher, who kept a beer shop, and who also filled the
office of , on account of some proceedings he
bad taken to rem .ve the prisoner's metier from •
cottage which she had occupied, and he had re-
peatedly threatened to do some mischief to him. On
the lhth Hey he went to the house of this mom and eon-
dotted himself in such a violent
cutor, who is the constable of the parish, was sent for to take
bins into custody. The prisoner beton this had been bran-
dishing • knife abou', and threatening to stab any one who
interfered with him ; and the monec,t the prosecutor went
to him and offered to take him into custody, he, without say-
ing a word, thrust the knife into his stomach, and inflicted
a meet severe and dangerous wound. A surgeon named
Clark, who was called in upon the occasion, describe,. the
injury, and also steed that it was every rare occurrence for
any one to recover from such a wound, and be attributed
that result in the present instaace to the extraordinary good
constitution of the prosecutor.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding with
intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Ills lordship, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that he
might consider himself very fortunate that he was not
standing at the bar to answer • charge of murder,
and if the prcsecutor had died he did nit see how
he cAeld have escaped from being found guilty of
that crime. The use of • knife was at all times
cowardly and no-English, end in all cases of this descrioti-n,
where • conviction took place, the safety of the public re-
quired that a severe example should be made of the offender.
lie then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for ten
years.
Mr. Justice Erle has nearly disposed of the whole of the

drawn, and the third, which is an action to establish a

James Hayes (23), and IVakefiell (22), labourers
of Ceron, were charged with firing at Mr. Tufts, of the
St. John's farm, with intent to kill and murder him. A
second count in tie indielmry• .barged them with stealing
a quantity of fowls. St. lulu Farm, occupied by the pro-
secutor, is at the back of the colleges, about one mile from
Cambridge, near the villsge of Cotoo. About a year ago
the bouts of Mr. Toffs was broken int., by al ruffians,
one of whom was afterwards shot at Streatley Hall, by Mr.
Perry, whose premises they had burglariously entered. Mr.
Tufts since that period has held himself prepared for a
similar onset from marauders. On the 2nd of May he was
awoke by the barking of his dog, and soon after a labourer
in his emoloy knocked at his bed-room door, and in-
formed him that thieves were in the fowl-house,
which is some twenty yards from the dwelling-
house; Mr. Tufts partially dressed himself, and taking
a gun iu one hand and a pistol in the other, accom-
panied by two man who slept In the house, repaired to the
towl-house ; on their emerging from the door, the fowl-house
door wee partially °pewit and a pistol di charged. Mr.
Tons immediately exclaimed " I am wounded," and fired
in the direction where he saw the light of the Rash of the
pied ; the men inside commenced pelting with bricks,
when Mr. Tofu fired again with his pistol, and the pelting
discontinued; the thieves then made an effort to escape by
' making an aperture in the roof of the fowl-house; but a
threat to shoot the first man who descended made
them desist, and both were captured, and brought into the
house, where their behaviour was characterised by great
rudeness. One of the prisoners was found to have sustain. d
a wound in the eye, a good portion of the charge of
the pistol having struck him in the fate aid nook, and die-
figured him. The assistance of the Cambridge pollee was
sent for, and during the time the nweringer was gone one of
the men asked for bread and cheese, pipes, and ale; the
other rose from his seat, and swore he wouli not
stop, bat a gun pointed at his chest and a vow
to shoot him if he attempted to stir canoed him
to take his seat again very quietly ; the police came, and
they were given into custody. A pistol was found in the
prosecutor's kitchen, which had evidently been thrown there
by one of the prisoners and a witness proved that the pistol
so found was purchased by Wakefield's father, of her de-
ceased hnsband.—Guilty-15 years' transportation.

WESTMINSTER.
DOW•IDLY ASSAM UPON A Mnma OP PARLIAMINT.
—Mr. J. P. )omens, M P. for Sligo, attended to prefer •
charge against Charles Beaker, eon of the keeper of the
Westminster Scholars' Cricket-ground, Vithent.square, for
violently asesaldag bias.
Mr. &omen said: On Tuesday svoning. at 6 o'clock, I
went to the Howe of Parliament, but it happened to be the
day of the Dale of Cambridge's interment, and there was
no evening sitting. I walked homewards with a friend, and
when I got within sight of my own midtown M 7 favourite
dog, which had been let out by my people. advanced towards
me sad strayed into the enclosure of Vineent-squue, the
gate of which was wide open. I followed him in for the
I.urpoes of getting him out, and found him rolling
himself La the grass, within four or five yards
of the gate, and within 160 or 200 yards of any of the
crick. tare who were playing is the teats' of the ground.
There were two men sitting on chairs sear the gate smoking
pipes, one of whom I believe to be the defendant. He had a
cep on, but no coat. He accosted me is • very insolent
manner, and said I had no business there with my dog. I
replied the dog was doing no harm, merely walking on the
gram, when he said " Takt your dog away, or I'll bundle
you both out of the place." I replied, "My good fellow,
don't be angry ; keep your temper • there is no harm
dove ; Items here tot the purpose of taking him out"—upon
which he jumped up out of Ms chair, and suddenly ad-
vanced towards ma in a very menacing attitude, which led
me to expect he was going to strike me ; and although I
was very unwell, and had been so for some days before, and
had my great-cost on my arm, I was prepared to resist the
assault, and when he came within reach of me, I made a
blow at him, which he avid led by keeping out of dis-
tance. My friend then interposed, and acid, " This gen-
tleman offered you no insult ; what right bad
you to attack him," upon which he became very
violent, and struggled very mail to get at me.
We got out of the enclosure and the gate was locked. Some
passer, by, attracted by what had occurred, accosted me on
the outside of the iron paling, and I was explaining to them
what had occurred, holding one of the iron bars of the rad-
io; at the time, when the man advanced quite unit:pee...4lly,
my face being partially turned towards the paling, and
opened at me through the rails, striking me • violent Wow on
the eye and Loss with such force as to whip me cunpletely
off my legs, so completely unprepared was I for it, and my
fall was broken by a person behind caching me.
Mr. Broderip—What was the effect of the blow. Did it
does your eye ?
Mr. Some re—lt fortunately was • little low. I bled pro-
fusely from the nose, but the mark under my eye was so bad
that I could no: appear in public for several days. I could
not, in consequence, appear in my place in the House of Com-
mons at a time when particularly anxious to do so. I
must observe that a few moments before he made
the attack upon me sad inflicted the blow be
made use of a mist disgusting epithet. He said, " I know
that he's a member of parliament. I'll serve you out."
I believe he was much instigated to commit the assault by
the Westminster scholar., whose conduct was anything but
what might have been expected. I only know that waco I
was at Harrow I should have been very sorry to have wit-
nessed
such conduct, and no gentleman would have been
used in that way. I beg further to add, that there was a
gentleman, in the cub of a clergyman, bet I hope not, for
the credit oft e cloth, who halimed the boys on like • pack
of hounds ; some of the boys also repeced the digits:inn
epithet. In co-elusion the boo. member again comp:alined
of the atrocious assassin-like and cowardly a-siult com-
mitted upon him at • moment he was unprepared—the act of
striking him through the railings when he had co oppor-
tunity of defending himself or of retaliating—and expressed
himself somewhat in favour of the principle that it men
came in collision they ah9uld tight it out.
,Ir. T. Bun, an, the gentleman who was in company with
Mr. S.:mers when the occurrence took place, and other
persons why were present, corroborated the foregoing state-
ment.

The defendant expressed a wish to call some witnesses, but
Mr. 13roderip said that it would be ►s duty to send the
case before a jury. He then ordered the defendant to field
sureties, himself in 601., and two in 301., to answer t►e
violent and cowardly assault alleged agai..st him.
Mr. &niers and w itne sus fining been bound over to
proseent,, retired, shortly alter which one of the masters of
the Westminster school (the gentleman alleged to have
hounded the boys on), accompanied by a a nior scholar, bad
an interview with the magistrate, to deny that portion of the
statement with respect to the muter basing attest as de.
scribed, or the boys used the disgraceful language imputed
to them.

Mr. Brodcrip remarked that it had been distinctly sworn
by a member of parliament and a gentleman that they hid.
The defendant having immtdiate:y afterwards put in the
required bsil, was liberated.
