LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco.)
KENT V. GOATS.

This was an appeal from the City of London Sheriffs'
Court, relative to an alleged breach of a written con-
tract for the purchase of 15 tons of best refined rape
oil.

Their lordships said judgment must be for the re-
spondent, the plaintiff in the original action.

FORBES V. FLDERFIELD.

This was a special case. The action was brought for
the recovery of half-a-year's rent of a farm called Dig-
well, in Hampshire ; but the real question in issue was
with reference to 371. 9s. 9d., rent charge in lieu of
tithes. The question turned upon the terms of the
lease, and was of no general interest.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Sittings in Banco.)
MORGAN V. LORD CLINTON.
Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., moved for a rule for a new trial
in this case. The action was tried a few days since,
before Mr. Baron Martin and a common jury, and was
to establish the defendant's liability as a director of a
mine, situate at Aberystwitb, in Wales.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.
The learned counsel contended there wai no evidence
on which to go to the jury, and that the learned baron
gave too much weight to certain documents produced
on the trial.
The Court granted the rule.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
BINDLE V. TAYLOR--JUDGMENT.

The Lord Chancellor gave judgment to-day in this
case, which was an appeal from the judgment of the
Master of the Rolls. The plaintiff, Mrs. Hindle, is the
wido w of a gentleman who died in 1853, and by her
bill she claimed to be entitled, under the provisions of
the will of the father of her late husband, to two an-
nuities of 2001. each, one out of the proceeds of 20,0001.,
31 per cents., which the 'plaintiff's father-in-law had
directed to stand in the name of trustees for the
benefit of his son, the late husband of the plain-
tiff, and his children ; and also out of the
sum of 5,0001., part of a sum of 20,0001., raised
upon certain trusts, out of which the father of the plain-
tiff's husband had directed that she should have an an-
nuity of 2001. at the death of her husband, and subject
to that payment the proceeds of the 20,0001. was to be
held in trust for the benefit of his sons, children of the
plaintiff. The plaintiff's husband died in 1853, leaving
her, his widow, and two daughters surviving. Under
these circumstances, the bill was filed asserting the
widow's right to annuities out of both funds. The Mas-
ter of the Rolls directed that the plaintiff was entitled
to both annuities, and from that decision the appeal on
which his Lordship now gave judgment was brought.
The Lord Chancellor felt, no doubt, that the Master of
the Rolls had come to an erroneous conclusion, and
ordered that judgment to be corrected.
Appeal allowed.

The following letter has been addressed to a contem-

sir,—Your correspondent who signs himself a " Con-
stant Reader," in your paper of today, thinks that he
was baffling
endeavouring to aim at the corner of the stage, and
me in my performance of the gun trick, by
causing me to think that he was aiming at me. For his
information, and for that of the public who have read
his letter or who may have seen nee perform, I wish to
state that the charm is in the bullet—not the gun.
Next time a " Constant Reader" visits me he may shoot
round the corner instead of at the corner, if he please,
and he will discover that the magnetisation which my
touch has previously imparted to the bullet, causes it to

The number of the enemy's vessels moored near

there are not more than 60 left.

The ships that were stationed near Ochakoff,
and a little higher up, have moved nearer to the
shore at Kinbourn, and continue to take on board
troops. A ship-of-the-line and two transports,
the latter having completed the embarkation of
men, have weighed anchor and put to sea.
The number of tents on the Spit of Kinbourn is

" HOLDF \ ST" and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES, with Mil-
ners' New Patent Gunpow:er Proof Locks. The strongest, best,
and cheapest safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, or
TiOi owe. _ _

The late fearful explosion and wide-spreal devastating Fire at
Gateshead and Newcastle, destroyed property of the value of one
million, converting a large area of warehouses (filled with sulphur,
nitrate of sods, peat charcoal, and otter r highly combustible stores),
whole stacks of offices. hmses, &c., into a perfect volcano or fierce,
concentrated, incinera ing, and long-enduring furnace heat, in which
not only combustible things, but even breits, stones, and iron were
burnt up and ftif,ed. Safes of the ordinary kind, iron deored strong
rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and
destroyed. But amongst the many instances ofpreservation, Thomas
Milner and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following
gratifying testimonial:—

"Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854.

" Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
which, on the Gth inst., reduced a great many buil.;ings in Newcastle-
upon-Tyne and Gateshead to a.hes, two of your large Hoidlest'
Safes, in our mikes, have been the means of preserving our books,
bills, and other valuable documents, although these safes were ex-
posed for about nine to ten hours to an immense heat, and dug out of
the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi-
pal books and bills in a good state of preservation. Some of the
papers were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they
can be used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it
our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new
safes to soecification.—We are, gentlemen, yowl; truly,

culation of those banks during the past month, viz.:—
Private banks
Joint-stock banks 3,104,293

Average weekly circulation £7,045,755
On comparing the above with the returns for the pre-
ceding month, ending the 23d of December last, it
shows—
An increase in the circulation of the private
banks of £92,405
As increase in the circulation of the joint-stock
banks of 81,555

And, as compared with the return for the correspond-

A YOUTHFUL HERO.

A. serjeani-major, now in Wellington barracks, who
has recently returned from the Crimea, has sent us the
following enthusiastic account of the conduct of a young
soldier, only 10 years old, named Thomas Keep, of the
3d Battalion Grenadier Guards, under the command of
Colonel Thomas Wood. The writer states that this boy
accompanied the army to the heights of the Alum, pre-
serving the most undaunted demeanour throughout the
battle. At one time a 24-pounder passed on each side
of him, and shot and shell fell about him like hail, but,
notwithstanding the weariness of the day, present dan-
gers, or the horrid sight, the Loy's heart beat with ten-
derness towards the poor wouaded, Instead of going
into a tent to take care of himself after the battle was
over, he refused to take rest, but was seen venturing
his life for the good of his comrades in the battle field.
This boy was seen stepping carefully over one dead
body after another, collecting all the broken muskets
he could find, and making a fire in the night to pro-
cure hot water. He made tea for the poor sufferers,
and saved the life of Serjeant Russell and some of
the private soldiers who were lying nearly exhausted for
want. Thus did this youth spend the night. At the
battle of Balaklava he again assisted the wounded. The
boy did his duty by day and worked in the trenches by
night, taking but little rest. At the battle of Inkerman
he was surrounded by Russians about 20 minutes, and,
to use his own words, he said he thought it was " a
case" with him, but he escaped all right. He received
one shot, which went through his coat and out at the
leg of his trousers, but Providence again preserved him
unhurt. He helped with all the bravery of a man to get
in the wounded, and rested not until the poor sufferers
were made as comfortable as he could make them. He
waited on the doctor when extracting the shot from the
men, and waited on the men before and after. " Thus

did this youth," says the writer, "do anything to any
one who needed help. Some of the wounded say that
they should not have been alive now had it not been for
thius boy's unwearied watchfulness and kindness in their

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854.
" fientlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
which, on the 6th inst., reduced a great many buildings in Newcastle-
tfpon- yne and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large Holdfast'
Safes, in our offices, have been the means of preserving our books,
bills, and oilier valuable documents, although these safes were ex-
Posed about use to ten hours to an immense heat, and dug out of
th' ruins in t red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi-
pal boots and bills in a good state of preservation. Some of the
pairets were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they
tan be used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it
our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new
safes to specification.—We are, gentlemen, yours truly,

MORE VOLUNTEERING AT CHATHAM FOR

THE CRIMEA.

Considerable excitement prevailed amongst the troops
comprising the Provisional Battalion, owing to the gar-
rison orders issued on Tuesday evening, to the effect
that the whole of the depots of the Indian and British
regiments were to be on the general parade ground of
the barracks by the following morning at eleven
o'clock, and that every soldier, be he an officer's ser-
vant, or engaged in any other occupation, must be
present in the ranks ; the officers also were directed
to attend with their corps. Another order was also
issued, commanding theguard muster to assemble at half-
past eight o'clock. These orders being unusuallicreated
great interest among the young soldiers. Accord-
ingly, this morning (Wednesday), the battalion, to the
number of 3,400, including serjeants and privates, as-
sembled onthe parade, and they formed in open columns
of depots. Every man was at his post. The commandant,
