LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 16.
(Sittings in Banco.)
MARKS V. HAMILTON.
This was a ruse to increase the verdict obtained by
the plaintiff for 7001. by the addition of 1,200/. The
action was on a policy for a house and attotion-room in
Oxford-street; and the furniture and goods therein, the
defendants being the Sun Fire-office. At the trial be•
fore the Lord Chief Baron it appeared that the de-
fendants had reinstituted the house and auction-room,
and a verdict was taken, under the direction- of the
Learned -Judge, for the value of the goods and furniture
destroyed, subject to a reference to ascertain whether
anything mlre was due to the plaintiff in respect of the
premises reinsti`uterl. The plaintiff, however, insisted
that, us the reinstitution had taken place after issue
joined, the defendant was not at liberty to enter upon
that ciefence and this rule was subsequently obtained to
review the direction of the Chief Baron on that point.
Mr. Creasy and Mr. Piiinn now showed cause against
the rule, which was supported by Mr. Sergeant Shee,
Mr. Metcelfe, and Mr. Lush.

The CoURT, at the conclusion of the argument, dis-
charged the rule, being of opinion that the defendants
were entitled to prove reinstitution at any time in re-
duction of damages. The amount of that reduction was
properly referred, but in the meantime the plaintiff was
entitled to received the 7001. found for him by the jury
as to the goods and furniture, and a portion of costa,
though not all, as the reference might be against him,
and the costs of the defendant on that inquiry might be
set off against those of the trial.
Mr. Sergeant SarEE would accept 1501. on account of
the costs.

The COURT thought this to be a reasonable arrange
meut, and the rule was discharged, on the understaudnig
that the defendants would at once pay 8501., to the
plaintiff.—Judgment accordingly.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 16.
(Sefore Mr. Commissioner Lew.)
IN RE EDWARD LAWRENCE LEVY.
This insolvent, au attorney, was opposed by Mr. Slee
and Mr. Patilion; Mr. Cooke supported.
The principal pica of inquiry in the case was the
di.posal of the furniture by the insolvent in October last
to his father for a sum of 600/., halt of which was then
•idvanced, and the remainder on account of.a prior deb..
After along inquiry,
Mr. COOKE informed the Court that Mr. Levy, sen.,
was still wilting to carry out a proposatalready made to
and refused by the creditors, via., to pay. ss. in the pound
on all the &Ws, the creditors giving the insolvent a re•
lease, or to pay into court any sum which the Commis-
sioner might think right.
Mr. SLEE'S client wished for time t 9 , consider the
proposal.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 16.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates, at the Sessions-house, Clerken-
wPll.)
The Court sat to-day and heard appeals against the
refusal of the licensing justices to grant or renew licenses
for the sale of excisable liquors.
Joseph Henry English appealed against the refusal of
the justices of the Tower division to renew a I.Cense
(under the 9th George IV., chap. 61) to sell excisable
liquors in the house and premises called the Angel, Back-
road, Shadwell.

Mr. Clarkson appeared fur the applicant; Mr. Bodkin
for the respondents.
Mr. nt,DKIN said ho should show that the justices
were, perfectly justified in refusing to renew the license
of this house, by calling witnesses to prove that it was
frf quented by prostitutes of the lowest description, that
robberies had taken place there, and that there had
been every disposition to screen the parties, instead of
assisting the puhco to apprehend them.
Evidence to this effect having been adduced,
Mr. CLARKSON said that the application he should
make to the Court would be of a nature only to enable
parties who had embarked money in the concern to be
guaranteed agaie.st loss. The establishment had cost
2.5001., of which only 5001. was the money of the appel-
lant himself, and the rest was advanced by friends and
relations. He proposed that these parties should provide
some person of unexceptionoble character to keep the
house, and that till then the license should remain in
the hands of the justices; otherwise those other parties,
by the withdrawal of the license, would be ruined

Appeal refused.
Charles Lindsay appealed against the refusal of the
justices of the divifiou of St. James's, Westminster, to
grant a license to the house and premises situate at 12
and 13, Air-street, St. James's.
dr. B dlantine appeared for the appellant, and Mr.
Bodkin for the respondent.
It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Lindsay was
desirous of keeping a second class hotel by obtaining a
license fur these premises. He had been formerly in the
service of the Etsrls of Stair, Mansfield, and Ilcheater,
as house steward, and the house, which is of some siv,
and is now kept by him as a dining and,lodging-house, is
much required,
and
of the greatest respectability and conducted in a very
creditable way. Several witnesses stated that this de-
s ptthi os nt
the
of
wantaccomor
ad accommodation
Liquor license
very
there was a great
inconvenience. On the other hand, it was contended
that there was no necessity for any more hotels' in the
neighbourhood.
The license was refused.

James Harrison appealed against the refusal of the
justices of the Tower division to grant a ho -use to a
house nod premises situate in Mayfield-road, Dalston.
Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry were fur the appellint,
and Mr. Bodkin for the respondents.

On the part of *the appellant it was contended that
there was a necessity for a public-house in the neigh-
bourhood—the nearest being 145 yards off. The lease
of the premises was for fifty years; and the appellant,
who was a person of respectability, paid 2001. for the
lease, and had since expended 300/, on the premises.
Mr BODKIN having been heard on the part of the
licensing justices,
The Okonwr c onfirmed their decHGn.
The following appeals were confirmed by consent:—
David Ti uming:or Kennett, ag,inst the refusal of the jus-
tices of he Marylebone division, to renew a similar
license to the house and premises called the Princess
Amelia, Oxford-street, Marylebone• James Yon It. against
the refusal of the justices of the Kensington division to
renew a similar license to the house and premises called
the Swans near Fulham! bridge. And the tollowieg one
was disum.sed, nobody appearing for the appellant:—
John William Hobbs Hayees, against the refusal of the
justices of the Finsbury division to grant a similar li-
co-nse to the house and premises called the Market Ta-
vern, at the principal entrance of the Islington Cattle
Milker, Lower-road.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
W ORSIIIP-STREE T.
A well-dressed y uth, about fifteen years of age, who
gave the name of Jo/t Parker, was h.:ought up before
Mr. D'Eyncourt (who has only just recovered from a
long and very dangerous illness), ohargecrwith robbery.
A lady named Pullen, the wife of a gentleman in the
City, called at the office of her husband at tour o'clock
that afternoon to receive about 151., but prudently placed
141. of the money down her bosom, and the remainder. a
sovereign and a quantity of silver, in a steel purse. 'ln
half an-hour after she was passing Shoreditch.Church,
during an election for churchwardens, and was, endea-
vouring to escape the crowd of blackguards there col-
lected, when she was joined by the prisoner, who walked
born:. distance beside her, and she directly after felt
~
slight jerk at the pocket, in her dress, and on turning
round found the prisoner rapidly transferring her purse
to his picket. Notwithstanding the crowd about her she
courageously grasped the prisoner by the neck, and de-
manded her purse, but the prisoner indignantly protested
his respectability and innocence, and would have 'ea.
wiped altogether but for the opportune arrival of a re -
ired °al.:Pr, who assisted the' lady in securing him, and ,
ho then dropped her purse at his feet,
Alderman, the *tole'', intimved that, young
prisoner appeared to be, he had known him as the
l
years as one of the moat practised and deixterou7l,l:ll24tYs
in the metropolis, who had been 4
rabic times in custody, and Berets(tulla?es; efilaniviuienit.e"d" imprison-d, and whose real n m
WCarthy. a was, in tact.

he had known the prisorner as d

He was fully committ.,ll for trial.
