LAW INTELLIGENCE.

EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 4.
(Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.)
MAXWELL V. MAXWELL.

This was an appeal from the judgment of the Master
of the Rolls upon a special cuss submitted for the opinion
of the court, under the following circumstances:—ln the
year 1821, Peter Constable Maxwell, a gentleman con-
nected with Scotland, but resident and domiciled in
Yorkshire, and having both real and personal estate in
England, and real estate, consisting of certain heritable
securities, in Scotland, made his will in the English
form, and executed and attested so as to pass real estate
in England. By that will he, by virtue of every right,
power, and authority enabling him in that behalf, gave,
devised, and bequeathed unto and to the use of certain
trustees named in the will, all his roll estate whatsoever
and wheresoever, and whether in possession or reversion,
upon trust for his wife for life, with remainder for the
benefit of all his children. The testator died on the day
of the date of the will; and as the will, for the want of the
formalities prescribed by the Scotch law for the passing
real estate, was inoperable pass the heritable securities in
Scotland, these descended upon the testator's eldest son as
his heir, according to the Scotch law. The object of the
special case was to take the opinion of the court upon the
question whether the eldest son was bound to elect be-
tween the real estate in Scotland to which ho had suc-
ceeded by de: cent, and the benefit given him by the
will, or whether he was intitled to both the benefit
under the will and the real estates descended. The
Master of the Rolls, upon the hearing of the special
case in May last, had come to the conclusion that the
Case was covered by authority, and that the heir was
not put to his election.
Lord Justice Lord Cranworth said he concurred in
the correctness of the conclusion to which his learned
brother had arrived. He took the general rule to be
that general words prima facie imported only what was
capable of being operated upon by the will. Where it
was evident on the face of the instrument that it was in-
tended to exiend beyond that limit, as where other
property was mentioned in express terms as in many
of the cases cited, that would be a ground of distinction.
There was, however, nothing of the sort here, and the
Court would therefore be doing what was not warrant-
able if it relied upon conjecture, however probable, as
to the testator's intention, as a ground for departing
from the general rule in the construction of this will.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. 4.
(Sittings in Banco.)
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
_ _

In this case, Sir A. Cockburn, Q.C., moved for a rule
on behalf of Earl Fitzhardinge. The alleged libel was
contained in an article in the Cheltenham Chronicle of
the 21st July, 1852. Sir Alexander Cockburn read this
article, which was of some length, and charged the Earl,
who is Lord• Lieutenant of the county of Gloucester, with
having appointed a batch of deputy lieutenants for the
purpose of serving his own political purposes. From the
affidavit of Lord Fitzhardinge it appeared that he had not
for some years appointed any deputy lieutenants prior
to the passing of the Militia Bill ; that he had then con-
sidered, to carry out the purposes of that act. more
deputy lieutenants ought to be appointed ; that he
selected a list of the gentlemen whom he considered
eligible for the office; that in selecting these gentlemen
he was actuated by no political motive ; and :that the
allegations of the article complained of in that respect
were wholly devoid of truth. Sir. A. Cockburn was
proceeding to comment upon the affidavit, when he
was stopped by
Lord Campbell, who remarked that this case was pre-
cisely similar to that of Lord Lonsdale (which was
fully reported in The Sun in November, 1851), where
a rule was granted, and that the learned gentleman
might take a rule in this case also.—Rule accordingly.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 4.
(Sittings in Banco.)
TODD V. KERRIDGE.

This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Jus-
tice of the Common Pleas, at the last Guildford assiv,s,
when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with 351.
damages.
Mr. Edwin James now moved for a rule to show
cause why a nonsuit should not bo entered pursuant to
leave, or the verdict set aside, as being against the
evidence. The facts of the case appeared to bo as fol-
lows:—The plaintiff who was a governess, last June
twelvemonth, advertised in the daily papers for a
situation. In consequence of this, Mrs. Kerridge, wife
of the defendant, who is treasurer for the county of
Surrey, residing near Dorking, wrote to the plaintiff,
who afterwards met Mr. and Mrs. Kerridge at an inn in
Dorking, when an engagement was entered into. The
plaintiff was dismissed from the defendant's service in the
following October, and by the present action she had
sought to recover damages for such dismissal before the
expiration of a year. The whole question arose on the
plea of the general issue, the point being whether a
governess was a domestic, or menial servant, and there-
fore subject to the same rules and customs with respect
to a hiring as domestic or menial servants.
Mr. Baron Alderson—What is a governess in point of
law?

Mr. James—A governess is a governess, my lord.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Baron Alderson—Yes, no doubt. The Queen is
a governess, in one point of view. (Laughter.)

. . . _
Mr. Barou rarlte—No governor.
The Court eventually said they would take timo to
consider the matter.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Nov. 4.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.)
IN RE TII)3tAS STEVENS.-GOING TO AUSTRALIA.
This insolvent, a young man, was opposed by Mr,
Sargood for Messrs. Baker and Grover, wholesale gro-
cers at I.lortsea.
Mr. Dowse supported.
The insolvent was a grocor at Selborne, near Gosport,
and was to sail from the London Dscks on the I 1 th
September last, with his wite to Australia. His pas-
lug° was paid, and o❑ the day the vessel sailed he was
