COOPER V. EWARI.

This was a motion of appeal from an order of taxa-
tion of an attorney's costs, made by the Master of the
Rolls six years after the settlement of the accounts,
and without any special circumstances shown, the mo-
tion having the effect of calling into question the right
of parties to the re-payment of a sum of 1,2001., al-
leged to be due by the firm of Brooks and Cooper on
the one side, and on the other to be the private debt of
Mr. Brooks alone. The case was only opened, and ad-
journed at the rising of the Court.

VICE-CHANCELLORS COURT, JuLr 20.

POPPLTON V. BROWN.
Mr. STINTON applied for a special injunction against
the defendant in this suit. The plaintiff and defend-
ant had formerly been in partnership as cotton-
spinners in the town of Leeds, Yorkshire, but had dis-
solved partnership ; the defendant, on the arrangements
made, retiring altogether from the concern, which was
carried on by the plaintiff. A few days since the plain-
tiff ',lad information conveyed to him that the defendant
was going round to the creditors of the house, from whom
he was receiving the moneys due, and bills from others,
the whole of which he was appropriating to his own use.
Having made due inquiries, he found the report correct
and having filed a bill yesterday for an injunction, it was
this day moved for on affidavits of the facts.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the injunction to
restrain the defendant from accepting bills or, receiving
money until he ;had put in his answer, when the case
might come on on its merits in moving to perpetuate the
injunction.

ROLLS COURT, JuLr 20.

MONTGOMERYSHIRE ASSIZES,
JULY 18.

TRIAL OF THE LLANTDLOES RIOTERS.
The Court was crowded to excess to-day, in conse-
quence of it being known that the individuals connected
with the outrars at Llandiloes, in this county, would
be placed upon their trial. The prisoners, 32 in num-
ber, were brought from Montgomery gaol at an early
hour, and were ranged, some in the dock, and others in
the seats appropriated for solicitors. They were all
included is one indictment, which charged them with
having unlawfully and riotously assembled together,
and beginning to demolish, pull down, and destroy the
dwelling-house of David Evans, at Llanidloes, in this
county. The names of the prisoners were, William
Jones, Edward Humphreys, Abraham Owen, Lewis
Humphreys, John Evans, John Lewis, John Jenkins,
William Morgan, John Jones, John Evans, jun., Giles
Richards, Elizaneth Lucas, William Jones, David Jar-
man, David Morris, Richard Thomas, Margaret Mere-
dith, William Richards, Valentine Rowlands, John
Thomas, David Jones, Thomas Hamer, David Hamer,
John Nicholls, Benjamin Davis, Edward Morgan, Evan
Mantell, Richard Pugh, Richard Hughes, Edward
George, and Thomas Evans.

The Attorney-General, Mr. Temple, Mr. Jervis, and
Mr. Welsby appeared, for the prosecution, and Mr.
Yardley for the defence.

Upwards of twenty witnesses were examined for the
prosecution, and the trial occupied the whole of the
day. The evidence was too voluminous to report, and
the facts of the case as substantiated by the witnesses
have appeared more than once in this and other journals.
All the prisoners were identified as having taken a
part in the riot, with the exception of Thomas Jones
and Edward Humphreys, who oonta not pooltively be
spoken to.

Mr. YARDLEY addressed the Jury for the prisoners,
after which,!the Learned Judge minutely summed up the
evidence.

The Jury then retired, and shortly returned with a
verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, with the ex-
ception of Thomas Jones and Edward Humphreys.
Mr. Justice PATTISON then proceeded to pass sen-
tence on the prisoners, and in doing so said that if any
person's life had been sacrificed through their violence,
the whole of them might have been indicted for mur-
der. He should make an example of those who had
taken the most prominent part in the riots. With re-
spect to Abraham Owen and Lewis Humphreys, who
had been convicted of training and drilling, he should
sentence them for that offence, and not for the riot, as
it appeared they had been the most violent of the mob.
He then sentenced them to seven years' trasportation.
