could be used with respect to anything but the real
estate. The words were "I do hereby give and devise,
after my just debts and funeral expenses and legacies are
paid (which I order to be paid out of my personal estate)
all my estates in the funds of England, and all my said
manors or reputed manors, messuages, lands, tenements,
tithes, rents, hereditaments, and premises, both freehold,
leasehold, and copyhold, and what other kind and nature
soever." It was quite clear that the testator paused at the
end of the description of the personal property, " all
my estates in the funds of England," where he used the
words " and all my said manors," &c. His Lordship
then contrasted this with the subsequent use of the
word," Provided always, and it shall and may be lawful,
to and for the several persons, when and us they shall
respectively become tenants in possession of the said
manors, messuages, lands, tenements, tithes, rents, he-
reditaments, and premises, to them respectively limited
as aforesaid," &c. It was therefore evident what was
meant by the word, and on that ground he doubted the
correctness of the judgment below. But, quite inde-
pendent of that question, it was quite clear that, on
the main question at issue, no doubt could be enter-
tained by this House, and that the decision should be
affirmed.
The order below was therefore affirmed; but, as we
understood the Lord Chancellor, in putting the question,
without costs.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 9.
The commission for the county of Kent was opened on
Monday.
The gaol calendar, in consequence of no intermediate
quarter session being held in the county is heavy, there
being 128 prisoners for trial. Most of, the cases, how-
ever, are of an ordinary description. On the Civil Side
30 causes are entered, but several of them are cross in-
dictments, in which Lord Ranelagh and the officers of the
South-Eastern Railway Company and some of the
officers of the metropolitan police are parties, arising
out of a disturbance that took place It the Greenwich
Railway terminus some time back. Bills for assault and
perjury were subsequently found at the Central Criminal
Court, and the cases are now sent down here for trial.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE)
James Austen, 42, shoemaker, and Robert Lambert,
23, landlord of the Ch, quers public-house at Biddenden,
were indicted for a misdemeanour in having unlawfully
uttt-red counterfeit coin.

Mr. Deedes and Mr. Dawson conducted the prosecu-
tion; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Rebton defended Lambert;
and Mr. Churn°Lk was counsel fur the other defendant.
The jury found the defendants Guilty, but recom-
mended L,mbert to mercy, upon the ground that they
believed he had been partly led into the commission of
the offence by the other prisoner.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced Austen to be kept
to hard labour fur twelve, and Lambert for nine months.

IVORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Huntingdon, March 9.
Lurd Campbell opened the commission for this county
yesterday afternoon.
We regret to say that Mr. Justice Crompton has
been obliged to return to town in consequence of indis-
position. His Lordship, on joining the circuit at
Aylesbury, appeared to be suffering greatly; and as his
illness did not abate, but rather increased in intensity at
Bedford, the Learned Judge was advb ed to abstain for
the present from his public duties. It is not expected
that his Lordship will be able to rejoin the circuit before
Norwich. In the meantime, as far as the business for
this county is concerned—whore, though there is a
heavy calendar, there are but two civil causes—Mr.
Prendergast and Mr. O'Malley will, if necessary, lend
their valuable assistance to the Chief Justice.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord CAMPBELL.)
Edward Spencer, 36, was charged with burglariously
entering the house of Sarah Moyres, of Heinle, on the
18th of May last. It appeared that the prosecutrix and
her servant on that day went of town, leaving the house
in charge of a neighbour, who, however, did not sleep
upon the premises. About two o'clock, as a man was
going fishing, he saw the prisoner leaae Mrs. Moyres'
house and dart into a neighbouring spiney. An alarm
was given, and the house was found to have been tho-
roughly ransacked. A cash-box and various articles of
furniture were found to have been stolen; but as Mrs.
Moyres had taken the precaution to empty her cash-box
before she left, the prisoner in disgust threw his ill-
gotten booty away, and escaped justice until December
last, when he was taken into custody.
Guilty—Ten sears' transportation.

the defence.

Mr. Burcham fur the prosecution; Mr. Power for the

he and the prisoner stole a sheep from a field at Yaxley.
They killed it, cut it up, and carried off the legs and

Cross-examined by Mr. POWER—I am a prisoner, on
charge of burglary. lam a witness in several other
cases against prisoners. lam charged in Mr. Fairley's
burglary, also with a fire. I was taken at Nottingham
on Mr. Fairley's affair, and when I had been in prison
about a month, I confessed to many things, thinking it
better to empty my mind to make room for something
better.

Mr. PowEß—llowmany crimes have you acknowledged

JIIDOE—Oh, make a clean breast of it.
Witness—l have told you of two or three cases.
Mr. POWER—I want to hear of some more. Witness
—Well, four more.
Mr. POWER—What were they? Witnoss—Two bur-
glaries and two highway robberies.
Mr. POWER—When were they committed? Witness

JUDGE—Don't press it, Mr. Power.
Mr. POWER—Are you married? Witness—No; I
live with a married woman, who left her husband and
came to me.

The JUDGE—Gentlemen of the jury, there is no cor-

OXFORD ClRCUl7.—Worcester, March 8.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
John Shephard, 21, Francis Compton, 20, labourers,
and Rueben Brant, 18, and George Groves, 17. boatmen,
were indicted for a rape, under circumstances of no
common atrocity, on Mary Ann Harris Williams, on the
night of the 29th of November last, at the parish of St.
Andrew, a little distance outside the town of Pershore.
Mr. Selfe appeared for :,the prosecution, and Mr.
Huddleston fur the defence.
The jury found Shepherd Guilty as principal, and
Compton as accessory in assisting him; and acquitted
the other two; an exercise of discrimination with which
his Lordship declared himself satisfied.
Shephard and Compton were sentenced to 18 yearn'
transportation.

There was another indictment against the four pri-
soners for the assault on Cooke, but
Mr. SELFE said that as he thought justice had been
satisfied by the verdict just pronounced, and it was
Compton chiefly who beat and kicked Cooke, ho would
offer no evidence, and thereupon Brant and Groves were
acquitted and discharged.
The Crown business for the county was brought to a
close soon after seven o'clock this evening. There are
about 12 cases for trial in the city, which it is hoped will
be brought to a close before to-morrow evening.

Taylor, the stoker of a passenger train on the same
railway.
Mr. Partridge appeared for. the prosecution; Mr.
Sherer defended the prisoner.
It appeared that on the 10th Sep►. last the prisoner
started from the Nottingham, station at half-past six in
the morning with a goods train for Mansfield, stopping
at a short distance from the Lenten points to take up
some empty carriages. Ho was delayed there much
longer than usual, partly in consequence of the absence
of a fellow-servant, whose duty it was to assist him in
taking up the carriages. Before he started with his
train, the passenger train became due, and a pointeman
on the lino warned the prisoner of that fact, and told
him to go back on the line and signal it to stop; or to
place the fog signals on the rails at a sufficient distance
to give the passenger train notice of the obstruction.
The prisoner emitted to do this, and a collision took
place, which caused the death of John Taylor, who was
stoker of the passenger train. It was urged in the pri-
soner's defence that he should not be held accountable
for a mere error of judgment, and that unless ho was
guilty of gross negligence he was entitled to an ac-
quittal.
The jury, after some deliberation, found the prisoner
Guilty, and he was sentenced to four months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, March 9,
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a
. _ _ _

Bench of Magistrates.)
Maria Williams, 19, was charged with stealing a
purse, four Bank of England notes, for the payment and
of the value of 101. each, and the sum of 51. in gold
monies, the property and monies of Frederick Charles
Dusantoy.
Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor is a purser in the royal navy, and had
come up from Portsmouth to see London. On the night
of the 29th of February he met the prisoner and ano•
ther woman in the Strand, and accompanied them to a
house near Wellington-street, where he stayed for the
night. On getting up in the morning the money named
in the indictment had been taken from his coat pocket.
On tho following morning he gave both women into
custody, but did not appear against them. On this day
the prisoner handed to her landlord a 101. note, request-
ing him to take 31. for rent due to him, and give her the
change. On the evening his wife produced three 101
notes, which she said she had received from the prisoner,
and asked him to go to the Bank of England and get
change for them. On his arrival there the notes were
detained, wad from information obtained from him the
prisoner was given into custody for stealing the notes.
It was proved that the four notes produced, being con-
secutive numbers, wore paid by Messrs. Onamanney and
Co., of Charing-cross, to the prosecutor.
After some sharp remarks between Mr. Sleigh and
the L?arned Judge,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sen-
tenced to hard labour for six months.
