LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, TUESDAY, Jitlr 19.
ZIPARTE ORIMITEAD—IN THE MATTER 05 HOWARD
AND GIRDS.
The Loan CHANCELLOR mid, he had turned this matter over
in lus mind, and he was satisfied he could not refuse the assig-
nees their costa.
Mr. HART hoped his Lordship would at least give his clients
those costs which were incurred by him in preparing to go to trial,
when two or three days before the trial was to take place the parties
on the other side applied to vary the former proceedings.
Mr. HORNE replied that the alterations which had been made in
the ptoceedings were very trifling. According to his Lordship's deci-
sion, the assignees for whom he appeared would, of course, have
their costs.
THE •TTORNF.Y•OENERAL V. THE stitxxv.as' CON PANT.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said he observed some gentlemen
concerned in this cause, waiting in Court for his judgment, but he
would not detain them, for he believed the kindest thing he could
do fur himself, and perhaps for the parties was, that he should not
give judgment in it till Monday next.

CONST v. HARRIS.
The Loon CHANCELLOR laid he bad read over the papers in
this maw, and it appeared to him that if this Court was to admi-
nister in the natnre of a trust the affairs of Covent-garden Theatre,
the gentlemen who biongesi to that Theatre must be treated ex-
act y sif It was a real estate. lle was very much puzzled to know
what to do about the decree of the Vice-Chancellor. lie had been
looking at it, with a view to see whether there was not something in
it that affected the orders which had been made respecting the re-
ceiver's payments. That was the difficulty he experienced • but
great as the difficulty was, it was impossible to permit these things
:o go on in the way they had hitherto done. lie weuld mention
the subject again to-morrow.
MELLISH V. MELLISH.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that regard being had to
the nature of this case and to its novelty, he thought Mr. 311elliah
ought to give security toe the money tabs taken out of Court.
cnawsitar V. COLLINS.
This else was to be spoken to this morning, but Mr. HEALD re-
questssi it might stand over till Friday.
Mr. Harty wished to know whether it was the intention of his
Lordship that Counsel should reargue the case?
The Loan CHANCELLOR said .te had determined not to require
any further argument.
Mr. finny believed the only question to be decided was, whether
.111 r. Collins was to have. any and what allowance for the manage-
ment of the concern. lie thought there could be no difficulty in
the other side's putting their minutes into writing, in order that
his client might Dot be kept auother twenty years to the litigation
of this cause.
Mr. BEARER objected to this, as being a very inconvenient
course.
His i.DRDSHIP said the consideration of this point had better
stand till Friday. _ _

BROWN I*. DE TASTET.
The Loan CHANCELLoR thought, as the former ease was post-
poned, this ah,o, as being connected with it, might better cane at
the Sallie dale.

V 10E.1:11 ANCELLOR'S Conn, wv.oNtsrmy, JULY 19.
The Court was occupied this day in hearing exceptions to the
illitater's Repot% Nothing of any public interest occurred.

POLICE.

Messtom no*76E—Sumerl Arnold and Elks his wi:e were
deemed under the following circumstances :
Wdliant Lempey, a porter,it appeared, had some dispute with
the snide pr .over, who has long been considered a stone-blind man,
and the blind man was said to be of a most vindictive disposition.
He was at his window one day, when the prosecutor addressed hint
from the street, and when three or four other persons were present.
Although he was so blind lie took up a brick-bat, threw it where he
heard yhe.yoice issue from, and struck !.empty with it. and upon
another occasion aimed at another voice, which was offensive to him,
and hit the owner of it as unerringly. It was therefore supposed
that the plea of blindness wit, unuer such circumstances, not ad.
miscible, and the blind man was brought up, and charged with
toetuisault.
Arnold, in whose eyes there was not the least symptom of specu-
lation, declared that it was all false. lie never threw a brickbat
or anything else at anybody, or at any voice, and he therefore never
anybody.
A witness—Oh, my Lord, he sees as well as I do ; we know it.
The LORD MA4O4--11011, do you know it ?
kViteess—Why, we were all watching one day for the balloon to
go tip, and when it went up, Arnold. blind as he was, went to the
'endow and looked op, and when he turned his eyes to the spat
where it was, he laughed, and said, " Aye, aye."
Arnold all this time kept his sightless balls stedfast. A man
made a short plunge at his lace, bet the lids were immovable.
It was said that he and his wife were very much given to hewing
the Gospel, and attended at Cross-street chapel when Mr. Irving
officio' ed.
• The Inhabitants of the neighbourhood of that respectable piece.
Angel-alley. where the defendants reside, stated gnat, however
strong the teligions feelings of the blind man and his wife might
he, they were certainly a pair of the greatest blackguards that ever
:Leglced aocie'v.
The Loin M AY° n —ln what way are they so offender?
ft was stated that the woman was in the habit of hiring little
giels to a tend het as her own children, in selling matches. They
weed upon occasions to sit upon the steps of a ball-door, in the
Jusat miserable and the compassion of the multitude was
torched teem seeing them. It was said that if that compassion bad
Tollewed do in to the abode of the blind man, very dreadful scenes
would have been witnessed: it was the practice of the wife of the
hand mad Wprostkute the poor children to " gentlemen," when
the hosisesa of the day bad been coeclu.led.
The mother of a little girl, aged eleven years, stated that her child
bad Iran sold to a villain by the blind man s wife.
• The Loan MAYOR committed h: two defendants to prison, In
default of bail.

Clence being offered at Derby, he was discharged by protlenatmn,
