LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Jan. 12.

EQUITY COURTS.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
LORD BROUGHAM V. LORD PAULETT.
His Honour delivered judgment in this case, which
was argued some time age. The plaintiffs are executors
under the will of late Duke of Cleveland, and the case
was brought on as a special case for the opinion of the
court on the construction of a clause in the will of the
testator, directing that his debts, legacies, legacy duty,
the costs of proving his will, and the execution of the
trusts thereof should be paid out of a specified fund. The
estates are considerable, and the costs of carrying the
trusts into execution are expected to be heavy. The
real question in the case was whether the costs of car-
rying the trusts of the will into execution so far as re-
garded the real estate should be paid out of the personal
estate.

His Honour held that the clause had a limited mean-
ing, and that the costs of executing the trusts of the
various estates, and interests created by the will and
codicil, must fall on the cestui que trusts, and where
some act was done which was mutually for the benefit of
the persons interested in various parts of the estate, or
in all parts of the estate, such as the appointment of new
trustees, those costs would have to be borne by the cestui
quo trusts in proportion to their several interests.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersley.)
SHIJNN V. HOBBS.-ATTEMPTED BRIBERY.

On this case being called on,
The Vice-Chancellor said he bad received two letters
from two of the parties interested, who are ladies, offer-
ing him a handsome present in the event of his deciding
in their favour. He was astonished at any one taking
such a course ; indeed it was almost too ludicrous to b e
believed ; but he should hand the letters to the Regis-
trar, with liberty to the other parties in the cause to
take copies of them, as was usual in such instances.

IN RE THE Dinta or MARLBOROUGH'S ESTATES.
This was a petition of Lord Churchill, praying the
sanction of the Court of Chancery to two purchases of
some land for 3,5001. The usual reference had been
directed as to the propriety of the purchase, and to the
conveyancing counsel as to the title, which had been
found to be satisfactory ; but the conveyancing coun-
sel had required the presence of the cestui que trusts
before him.

Mr. Osborne, for the petitioner, said that all parties
-were now before the court, and he asked his Honour
to finake the order confirming the purchases, without
sending the matter back to the conveyancing counsel.
The Tice•Chancellor said he could not dispense with
the rule requiring the approbation of the conveyancing
counsel, without exception. Hence the matter must
be sent back to the counsel, who had already advised
upon it before the order could be made.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE QUEEN V. T. H. MARSHALL, ESQ.
This was a rule obtained last term, calling upon
Thomas Horncastle Marshall, judge of the county
court of Wakefield, to show cause why a criminal in-
formation should not be filed against him, upon the
ground that, on the 19th of August last, he maliciously
refused audience to William Shaw, a barrister re-
tained on behalf of the plaintiff in the cause of Fur-
niss v. Hauxwell, then called on for trial in the said
court. The application was made on the part of Mr.
Shaw, who distinctly charged the judge with being ac-
tuated by malicious motives in the course which he had
pursued. The affidavit of Mr. Shaw set forth that he
was called to the bar in the year 1844, that he was a mem-
ber of the Northern Circuit and West Riding Sessions,
and practised in the county court of Wakefield, of
which Mr. Marshall was the judge. On the 19th•of
August last, having been retained for the plaintiff in the
case of Furniss, v. Hauxwell, Mr. Shaw, at the time
appointed for the sitting of the court, viz., ten o'clock,
entered the court, and took his seat in the place as-
signed to counsel. At half-past ten the judge entered,
and Mr. Shavr as a mark of respect, rose up. The
business of the court then commenced, but the judge,
interrupting the business, demanded of James Alfred
Shaw, the reporter of the Wakefield Express, why he
continued to come into the reporters' box, from which
be (the judge) had had him removed twice before ? The
reporter, who was in no way related to, or connected
with Mr. Shaw the barrister, then rose from his seat,
and the judge went on to ask him if he was the au-
thor of a report which bad appeared in his (the re-
porter's) newspaper ? The reporter replied that he was
responsible for the report, and that it was a true report,
The judge retorted that the report was false ; that he
could give the rfrorter credit for any amount of igno-
rance ; but that therowa3 more than ignorance in the
report—there was maece. The judge then ordered
the reporter to leave the box, but the latter refused,
alleging that, as the court was public, he had
a right to be there. The judge eventually
directed an officer forcibly to expel the reporter from
his seat, and to remove him to another part of the court.
This was accordingly done, and he was placed on a seat
where there was no accommodation for reporting ; but
he soon after left the court. Mr. Shaw was the only
barrister present during these proceedings, but he took
no part in them whatever, either by word or gesture.
The business of the court then proceeded for a few
minutes, when the judge, again interrupting the busi-
ness, said to the applicant, " Are you, Mr. Shaw, the
author of that report ?" Mr. Shaw respectfully rose, and
inquired to what report his honour referred ? To which
the judge, in a sneering and contemptuous manner re-
plied, "You know very well to what report I mean."
The judge, after some inquiries of the usher of the
court, referred to the case of Hodgson v. Meeson, in
the Wakefield Express, and then said, "Now, Mr.
Shaw, did you write that report f" Mr. Shaw, in a re-
spectful manner, replied as follows •—" Your honour, .1
am astonished at such a question being put to me from
the bench • if asked elsewhere, I would have answered,
and even here, although I cannot recognise yourhonour's
right to put it, I will reply to it, if you will be good
enough to show me the report to which you refer." The
judge immediately replied, "Then you decline to answer
my question ?" To which Mr. Shaw answered that he
had not so declined. The conversation then ended, and
the business of the court was then resumed, and continued
for about half•an-hour, till the cause of Furniss v. Haw
well was:called on. Mr. Shaw then roseand said,"lappear,
your honour, in this case as counsel for the plaintiff," but
he was interrupted by the judge, who said "Stop, sir I
The judge then took a book from his desk, and after
referring to it for a short time, looked at Mr. Shaw,
who had been standing during the interval, and the
latter, thinking he was to go on, recommenced by say-
ing, " As I was about to explain, your honour, in this
case." The judge again vehemently interrupted by say-
ing, "Did I not tell you to stop, sir ?" Mr. Shaw again
stopped, and continued standing for two er three minutes,
when the judge said, "I shall not hear you, sir." Mr.
Shaw respectfully asked upon what ground, and the
judge replied, "You have declined to answer my ques-
tion ; it is a contempt of court, and I shall not allow
you to practise until you answer it ; I must not punish
the innocent and permit the guilty to escape-" Mr.
Shaw again tendered himself as the plaintiff's counsel,
but the judge refused to hear him, and adjourned the
case in order that other counsel might be retained. Mr.
Shaw then returned his brief and left the court, which
he had not since attended, though lie had been offered
several retainers. Mr. Shaw's affidavit stated that on
the occasion in question, as well as on all previous occa-
sions, I e had conducted himself most respectfully towards
1
the judge, and had never been betrayed into unbecoming
conduct or language. He further explained that he had
been counsel for the defendant in the cause of Hodgson
v. Meeson, tried before the said judge on the 3d of June
last, and that at the request of Mr. John Robinson, the
editor and proprietor of the Wakefield Express, he had
furnished for that paper a report of the trial from the
notes taken on his brief, and while the facts of the case
were fresh in his recollection. He had at the same time
directed that the report should be submitted to the re-
porter, and compared with his shorthand notes. He
declared that the report so furnished was a faithful and
true report.
The present rule having been granted,
Mr. H. Hill, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Hardy), now
showed cause on the affidavit of Mr. Marshall and others
that set forth, first, that the report of the case of Hodg-
son v. Meeson was unfair and incorrect in several par-
ticulars, and went into a full account of what took place
on the occasion of the trial. This, it was contended,
hallo well account for any slight irritation Mr. Mar-
had exhibited when alluding to the report of that
case, especially as a l.
in the paper, reflect-fiead tag article had been written
the case, founded Lig' on Mr. Marshall's conduct in
unfair report. what it was contended was an
Lord Campbell—I am of opinion that this rule must
be discharged. Had Mr.

August, in so addressing Mr. Shaw, asking

grounds for saying that it was done maliciously, One
is shocked at such things happening before a regular
tribunal ; but, in any opinion, according to the practice
of this court and to expediency, Mr. Shaw, by apply-
ing to the Lord Chancellor, has precluded himself from
coming to this court for a criminal information. This
is an application to us to try and punish Mr. Mar-
shall. The granting of that writ is always in the dis•
cretion of the Court, and I think in the exercise of that
discretion we ought not to grant a criminal information
when an appeal has been made to the Lord Chancellor
and failed. The rule will, therefore, be discharged,
but, under all the circumstances, certainly without costs.
Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Wightman
concurred with th Lord Chief Justice.
Rule discharged without costs.

The plaintiff in this case was
an—
fendant was a magistrate of the county of Somerset.
It appeared that the defendant, whilst living
Lis wife under a decree of the Ecclesiastical Yart from
Court, had
written a letter to her which imputed an improper c_on
'lesion between her and the plaintiff, who had acted as_
her solicitor in the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical
Court. The letter was sent to the plaintiff, and he
thereupon commenced the present action to recover
damages for libel, and at the trial before the Chief Jus-
tice in. Middlesex, the jury gave a verdict for the plain-
tiff, damages 1,0001. A rule, however, was subsequently '
obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why
there shoull not be a verdict for the defendant, the
principal point being that there had been no sufficient
publication of the libel. The case was to-day called on
for argument.
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Barnard appeared

for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Han.
nen for the defendant.

After some observations from counsel, it was arranged
that the action should be settled upon the terms that it
should be left to the Chief Justice to say for what amount
the verdict should be entered, and that, as there were
one or two communications which it was not advisable
to read in public, his lordship should hear one counsel
on each side in private, after the court had risen.
The case was disposed of accordingly.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Sittings in Banco.)
BOGGIS V. COMBE.-ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE.
Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Petersdorff appeared for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins represented the de-
fendant.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a person i
in humble circumstances, to recover compensation n
damages from the defendant, Mr. Combe, a member of
the firm of Combe, Delafield
and Co., the well-known
brewers, for alleged negligence on the part of his ser-
vants, by which the plaintiff's child had sustained serious
injury. It appeared that the child, a little boy two
years of age, was, together with other children, play-
ing in the street at the time the defendant's dray,
driven by his servant, was proceeding slowly down
the street. The drayman, who was sitting on the
side of the dray, did not sen thl little boy, who was
knocked 'down by one of the horses, and the wheel
passed over his body. The child, after the accident, was
removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he re-
mained for ten weeks, during which time he suffered
most severely. The medical testimony went to prove
that the injury was of a most serious character, and
from the symptoms exhibited the child might become
deformed. The evidence adduced on behalf of the de-
fendant was in direct opposition to that of the plaintiff,
and attempted to prove that there was no negligence
on the part of the drayman, but that the injury sus-
tained by the child was purely the result of accident.
The learned judge having summed up the evidence,
left it to the jury to say whether or not they thought
the driver of the dray had sufficient command over
his horses when sitting on the shafts. If they were of
opinion he had not, that amounted to negligence, and
the plaintiff would be entitled to their verdict for such
an amount as they considered the justice of the case
required.

The jury having retired, returned into court after
a short absence, with a verdict for the plaintiff - -
Damages 501.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Jun. 12.

MANSION-HOUSE.—J. Patey, charged with hav-
ing stolen five pieces of iron from the premises of an
ironmaster in Upper Thames•street, and J. Dallis, who
carried on business on the other side of Southwark-
bridge, charged with having received the property
knowing that it had been stolen, were put to the bar
before Alderman Wire.

The Alderman, who bad from time to time adjourned
the case in the expectation that the prosecutors would
have made particular inquiries about the parties accused,
and the mysterious circumstances connected with the
charges which were some days ago detailed in the public
papers, asked whether any further evidence had been
elicited, and the following is an abstract of what took
place upon the subject :
The only evidence against Patey as the thief was, it
may be recollected, that of Sallis, the suspected re-
ceiver, who stated. that Patey brought the iron to his
premises about six o'clock in the morning, and was
to call for the price of it in the course of the day
on which the property was stolen and deposited on
the premises, and who gave Patey into custody in
the evening of the same' day, for having attempted
to sell it.

Mr. Hobler, for the prosecution, said he had no fur-
ther evidence to produce, and that as the two prisoners
could not, according to the statements made, be both of
them committed with any chance of conviction, he was
desirous that the man accused of receiving, being charged
with an offence more dangerous to the community,
should be sent for trial, if the magistrate entertained the
same opinion.

Mr. \Vontner, who appeared for Sallis, submitted that
his client had exonerated himself, by showing that Patey
was the person who had brought the iron to the pre-
mises, and by giving him into custody when he called to
receive the money.
Patey said hii mother, who could prove that be
was ill in bed at the time it was stated that he was de-
Jivering the iron, was present, to show that it was quite
impossible that he could have been out of his room at
the time.

Mrs. Patey then presented herself, and swore that her
son was in bed with his wife at the moment he was said
to have brought the stolen goods to Sallis's yard, and
that she never heard that her son bad been involved in
any criminal difficulty before. The witness detailed
several circumstances in corroboration of her statement,
and underwent cross-examination by Mr. Hobler, which
led to the conclusion that she had come forward merely
for the purpose of getting her son out of the danger of
committal, and was ready to say anything to effect that
'object.
Upon the part of Sallis Mr. Wontner called witnesses,
one of whom, a respectable person, made a statement,
which, although not at all calculated to exonerate that
prisoner from the imputation of being the receiver,
added to the belief that Patey was the thief. The other
witnesses called, however, gave such evidence as obliged
the alderman to say that he did not believe one word
uttered by any of them.
After a most strict investigation into the case, which
was considered to be one of peculiar importance to
tradesmen,

Alderman Wire said he had no doubt that wit-
nesses, whose evidence bad been framed for the occa-
sion, had been brought forward by both prisoners. He
had no doubt whatever upon the subject himself, and
he lamented that facilities were given by men who
were apparently conducting extensive establishments
with some character, to the disposal of property
stolen, and conveyed too at an hour when honest and
industrious people were going to their work. It was
palpable that the iron had been brought into the pre-
mises of Sallis by a thief, and that Sallis had no objec-
tion to deal with the thief, and had appointed a time for
the payment of the price, whatever it might have
been, of the produce. It was evident, too, that the
mother of Patey had perjured herself, for she bad
sworn that she had never known her son bad ever be-
fore been in any difficulty of a criminal nature, for it
had been ascertained that Patey had been imprisoned
before for dishonesty, and that there was no depen-
dence to be placed on any representation she had
made. The matter involved a great deal of con-
tradiction and legal difficulty, and there appeared
to be no chance of a conviction in the event of a
prosecution of either of the prisoners, for the only wit-
ness against Patey was his fellow-prisoner. Under such
circumstances the only course left for the magistrate to
pursue was to discharge both prisoners, with the con-
duct of whom it was necessary that the public should
be made acquainted. The alderman, in conclusion, said
he thought the prosecutors ought to have taken care in
such a case to have acted more vigorously in the in-
vestigation, but he said that without imputing the
slightest blame to their solicitor, who had, he had no
doubt, acted completely up to their instructions.
The prisoners were then discharged, and Patey's
mother, who had been temporarily committed for per-
jury, was also discharged with a severe reprimand.
