LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 19.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CRADOCK.

This case was lately before the Vice-Chancellor, upon
demurrer to the information, which his Honour allowed.
The matter then came before the Lord Chancellor, on ap-
peal from the Vice-Chancellor's decision, when the facts
and arguments were reported.
The LORD-CHANCELLOR gave his judgment this morn-
ing. The demurrer to the information was put in by the
defendant Cradock fbr multigrievousness. The information
was filed for the administration of certain charities in York-
shire, and it stated the property which constituted the
foundation of the charities, the funds of which had been
mixed together without any approbation being made to
either charity in particular. Cradock was not a trustee of
either charity, but he possessed same of the charity lands ;
and in 1832 he 'and the defedant Headlam, who was a
trustee of the charities, entered upon a plan for procuring
from the trustees the fee-simple of the charity lands, re-
ceiving certain lands belonging to Cradock and Headlam in
exchange. The injunction prayed for an account against
the trustees of the charities generally, and also that this
exchange might be set aside, for the benefit of the charity.
His Lordship referred to the cases of Campbell v. Mackay
and Salvidge v. Hyde, and although the latter was over-
ruled by Lord Eldon, yet what Lord Eldon laid down in
that case was clear authority in support of the injunction
in this case. The decision of the Vice-Chancellor, allow-
ing the demurrer, was overruled. The defendant got two
months to file his answer.

PREROGATIVE COURT, JuLy 19.
'WALCOTT V. OCHTOLONY.

This is a question as to the validity of the will of the
late Miss Ochtolony, a young lady who died on the 9th of
June, 1835, at the age of 23 years. The deceased made
a will, dated April, 1834, and placed by her in the custody
of a Mr. George, who resided at Bath ; the deceased went
in November, 1834, to live with Mrs. Bogle, at Edinburgh,
where she remained till the time of lier death, which was
caused from a palpitation of the heart, a c,omplaint under
which she had suffered for some time, and which was of
such a nature that the medical men in attendance would
not allow the deceased to write or have any letters of an
exciting tendency read to her ; in the beginning of May,
1835, Mrs. Bogle, the lady with whom she resided, wrote a
letter to Mrs. Walcott, the wife of Capt. Walcott, the exe-
cutor named in the will, giving an account of the state, of
the deceased's health ; she (the deceased) having been in-
formed of this, and not being allowed to write, directed Mrs.
Bogle to give, through the medium of Capt. Walcott, her
wishes to Mr. George for the destruction of the will ; the lat-
ter gentleman having received the instructions, in accordance
with the directions of the deceased, was not willing, on so
doubtful an authority, at once to destroy the paper, but
sent it to Captain Walcott, leaving to his discretion the
propriety of destroying it, who, likewise desirous of avoid-
ing the responsibility, dispatched it to Edinburgh, the re-
sidence of the deceased, which place, however, it did not
reach till after her death. These are the main facts of the
case. The will is propounded by Captain Walcott, one of
the executors, and is opposed by Mr. Ochtolony, the bro-
ther, and one of the next of kin, of the deceased, who would
be benefitted by an intestacy.
Dr. LUSHINGTON appeared on behalf of the next of kin,
ar d eontended that, in accordance with the law of the case,
ti.e Court must pronounce against the will.
The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, Oil the other side, said that
the law of the case required that probate should be granted
to the will, for in the '22d section of the statute of frauds
it was provided " that no will of personal property could be
made by word of mouth, unless the intentions of the tes-
tator were reduced into writing during his or her lifetime,
read over to the deceased, and signed by three attesting
witnesses." The same, of course, applied to the alteration
or destruction of a will previously made. This rule had not
been preserved with regard to the destruction of Miss Och-
tolony's will, and it was, therefore, the duty of the Court
to pronounce for its validity.
Sir H. JENNER said that the letter had been proved to
contain a legal revocation of the paper, and the Court. ac-
cordingly pronounced that the deceased had died intestate.
The costs of both parties are to be paid out of the estate.

HOME CIRCUIT.—CrIEL2rspoRD, JULY 19.

Rebecca Eldridge was placed at the bar, charged with
having maliciously and feloniously set fire to a woodstack,
the property of Mrs. Louisa Legerton, at Ugley, on the
11th March last. •

Miss Louisa Legerton, the daughter of the prosecutrix,
said that her mother was a farmer, and lived at Ugley-hall.
The prisoner was her servant, and entered into her service
on the 23d of December last. She remembered a wood-
stack which was. placed behind the house being burnt on
the evening of the 9th of March last. The prisoner on
that occasion ran into the parlour, and said she saw two
men running away from the stack. She gave a description
of the men, and said their names were Warwick and Mar-
shall. The men were on her story apprehended, but they
were discharged, after having clearly proved that they were
elsewhere. Two men named Smith were then apprehended
from the statement of the prisoner, but they were also dis-
charged. Some suspicion was afterwards entertained against
the prisoner herself, and she was apprehended and taken
before a magistrate. She returned to her mistress's home
after the investigation had taken place, and when with the
witness alone she asked her for a Bible. The witness
fetched her one, and she then laid her hand upon it and
said, " I set the woodstack on fire, and no one else. I am
sure I shall be hung for it and go to hell. I placed some
straw under the stack and put a firebrand in it, but I felt
sorry when I saw the smoke."
Mr. Neal, the governor of the gaol, proved that the. pri-
soner, since her committal, had attempted several times to
destroy herself.
Lord DENMAN having summed up, the Jury found the
prisoner Guilty.
Judgment of death was recorded, his Lordship intimating
that her life would be spared.
William Chaplin, a boy 10 years old, was indicted for fe-
loniously setting fire to a henhouse, the property of Thomas
Richardson, at Lawford, on the 21st of March last.
Lord DENMAN summed up, and the Jury found a ver-
dict of " Guilty of the act, but that he did not know what
he was doing." They were then told to reconsider their
verdict, and they returned him " Guilty," but acquitted him
of any malicious intent.
The Learned JUDGE said that that was a verdict of
Not Guilty."

Sarah Arevard, a girl of 15, was also charged with set-
ting fire to a stable in the possession of James Bacon, jun.,
at Langham, on the 17th of last March.
An objection was taken to the indictment that the place
called a stable formed only a part of a large building. The
question was left to the Jury whether it was a stable or
not ; and the Jury found in the negative.
A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned.
The prisoner was then indicted for a similar offence on
the 18th of March, the following day.
The jury having heard evidence, acquitted the prisoner.
_ _

Christopher Oliver•, William Randall, and Samuel Hood,
were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the
dwelling-house of Mary Burrell, at Highbeach, on the 17th
of June last.

The jury found them all Guilty, and sentence of deatl
was recorded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STRL'ET.

Darby Clarke, a Kerryman, was yesterday brought up
on a warrant by Fletcher, the officer, charged with writ-
ing a menacing letter to John Cockerel!, Esq., a director
of the Bank of England, threatening to do him some
bodily harm. _ _

At the request of the complainant Mr. NfiNsuum. said
he would not send the case before a jury ; but it was proper
to put some check upon the prisoner. He should call upon
him to find bail, himself in 201. and two sureties in 101. is
each, to keep the peace towards the complainant and h
family for the next six months.

Office, under the following circumstances:—It appeared
that a few years ago a boy, named Benjamin Broadway, a
cripple, was an inmate of Islington workhouse, but his
sister, a Mrs. Windsor, a poor woman, residing at No. 4,
Eli i
Islington, p,rocured a situation for him as
errand-boy,at Mr. Smiths, optician, of the City-road,
ottpl ceawhere he remained for twelve months in that capacity,
when he agreed to receive him as an apprentice. His sister
applied to the parish officers, who consented to the bind-
ing, and on the 29th of December, 1834, the parish officers
hound him in the usual way, and paid 3/. premium. The
lad, however, subsequently and repeatedly complained to
his sister of a series of ill-treatment, and not having a suf-
ficiency of food, and his appearance gave strong indica-
tions of the fact of his complaints being true. Latterly,
he became so exceedingly reduced that the sister was in-
duced to make inquiries, when she found that the lad was
in a deplorable state, lying on a filthy bed, not worth the
name, having no .covering, and being in a state of starva-
tion, so that his bones were actually protruding through his
skin ; he was scarce able to speak, but he gave her to

nnierstand that he id been cruelly treated—that he lseid
been overworked, and necessitated to remain at work all
night whilst his master was out at parties, and all that he ever
had in the course of the day was a penny polony and a thin
slice of bread and butter, and sometimes not that. On
Friday last she gave information to Mr. Ashley, the over-
seer of Islington, who, with several other gentlemen con-
nected with the parish, repaired to the master's house,
when they discovered that the sister's statement was far
from being coloured or exaggerated. He found the lad
lying on a dirty piece of rug, and only a ragged, filthy
sheet for his covering. He was a mere skeleton, and was
evidently in a dying condition, and finding that he had no
medical attendance, they instantly sent for a surgeon in the
neighbourhood, who procured some brandy and water, and
soaked some bread in it, which he ate with avidity and
voraciousness, but he could not be prevailed upon to take
anything else. He complained of ill-treatment, and he was
immediately conveyed to Islington workhouse, where he
was attended to by Mr. Semple, the parish surgeon, who
pronounced him to be in a dangerous state through want
of nourishment, and that he could not long survive. Ap-
plication was made instanter at this office for a warrant to
apprehend the master, for cruelty towards his apprentice,
when Mr. Bennett granted a sumnions, which was placed
in the hands of Edwards, the officer of this establishment.
Mr. Ashley now stated that since the granting of the sum-
mons the master had absconded, taking away with him the
whole of his furniture, &c., at an early hour, five o'clock,
in the morning, and nobody knew where he had gone to.
His goods were removed in a van.
Mr. LAING—Is the lad now in a dangerous state? Mr.
Ashley said he was.
Mr. LAING under the circumstances was surprised that
the master was not immediately apprehended. It wasevi-
dent that he had got scent of the summons having been
issued, and he had taken advantage of the circumstance,
and made his escape.
Mr. ROGEIIS concurred with Mr. Laing, and recom-
mended that immediate pursuit should be made after him.
The parish officers, on leaving the office, proceeded forth-
with to give the necessary information to the police autho-
rities, with a description of his person, and to offer a re-
ward for his apprehension.

SHERIFFS' COURT-TUESDAY.

EDWARDS V. OLDACRE.
•
This was an action brought by a dispenser. of boluses,
draughts, and drugs, against a jolly-looking butcher for the
recovery of the balance of two accounts—namely, 18s..
sd. The action was altogether illustrative of the pacific
spirit of the law, and notwithstanding the utmost efforts of
the sheriff to stop the snarling confabulation of the contend-
ing parties, the case occupied full three hours.
Mr. RYLAND, the barrister for the plaintiff, claimed the '
sum of 111. ls. 9d., and in doing so regretted much that so
paltry an action had been suffered to be carried on, inas-
much as the admitted set-off was 101. 2s. 9d., the sum in
dispute, therefore, being so paltry as to make the suit ap-
pear vexatious, the sum of 18s. 5d had been offered over
and over again, but the defendant had refused to pay it,
alleging that his own account covered altogether that of the
plaintiff. It remained, therefore, forth@ jury to ascertain
whether the said pills, lotions, potions, boluses, draughts,
liniments, &c., of the plaintiff formed a good and sufficient
set-off against the sundry legs and loins of mutton, chops
and steaks supplied by the defendant. He should prove • -
that the medicines bad been delivered, by the production of
the books, and then leave the case in the hands of the jury.
Mr. John Nixon Simpson proved the delivery of certain
medicines, and making up of others. He kept the books
and had entered all the articles therein. The boy who had
principally delivered the medicine was dead, but he had no
doubt regarding the correctness of the bill.

Cross-examined by the attorney for the defence—De.
fcndant had served meat to the family. One of the items
of the bill was 10s., a raffle fee for a pig. Witness had
rAled for the said pig by the direction of his master—
(LaughtEr.) He did not win the pig.
Mr. Sheriff BURCIIELL—How many members were
there ? Witness (with great simplicity)—Only one pig, Sir.
Mr. Sheriff Built-11E1,1.-1 ask you how many members
raffled for the pig ? Witness (with most provoking stupi-
dity)—l did, Sir.
Mr. Sheriff BURCHELL—Did you pay down ten shil-
lings for the pig, or the throw for it ? Witness—l lost the
pig, Sir.--(Laughter.)
Mr. Sheriff BURCHELL—No doubt about it ; but did
you see any body else pay money ? Witness—l saw the
pi;,
A Juryman—Yes, yes, so do we—(Laughter)—was any
money paid on account of the pig ? Witness—My master
told me to raffle for the pig, and when I told him—
Mr. Sheriff BURCHELL—What, to the pig ? Witness
—No, Sir, to master.—(Laughter.) He
_said, throw for
the pig, and if you win it, why it will be a very handsome
thing.—(Loud laughter.)
This remarkably lively witness was here ordered to stand
down, and a number of butchers' boys and apothecaries' cads
having been sworn, pro and con. for a period of nearly
three hours.

Mr. RYLAND replied, and the jury found a verdict for
18s. sd.—costs 20s.
LAKF, v, WELLESLEY.
This was a writ of inquiry to re-assess the damages
arising out of a breach of bond. The defendant was the
Hon. Long. Pole Tilney Wellesley, who has been several
times proclaimed outlawed. The record, bond, and other
documents, having been closely examined by the Under-
Sheriff, the Jury returned a verdict—Damages, 2,130/.,
costs 20s.

On Saturday
an inquest was held at the Nightingale
Tavern, Lisson-grove, before Mr. Stirling, on the body of
Jean Francois Corpaine, a French General, who had served
under Napoleon, and died suddenly on Wednesday last. Mr.
Dyer, of 23, Grove-place, Lisson-grove, stated that the de-
ceased had occupied apartments in his house for six months
past. He was a widower, and had lately been in an indifferent
state of health. On Wednesday evening last he complained
of a difficulty of breathing. He went to his bed about tell
o'clock, and the following morning, about nine, the servant,
on going into his room, found him dead. A surgeon stated
that his death was occasioned by a bursting of a blood vessel.
The jury returned a verdict of—" Died by the visitation of
God."

RECOVERY FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—(From the
Ceylon Gazette, June 17, 1812.)—If the alleviation or cure of
the most formidable disease to which mankind is incident be a
source of satisfactory reflection to society, the case which we
are here to submit to our readers may well warrant our con-
gratulations,
as, from the period of the introduction of vacci-
nation by Dr. Jenner to the present time, a discovery of such
value and importance has not been made in the practice of
medicine as that which is the subject of our present remark.
We shall now proceed to state the outlines of the case, pre-
mising only that it was treated by Dr. Shoolbred, surgeon of
the Native Hospital, who has had the good fortune to be the
first to introduce to Bengal this successful method of treating
hydrophobia. On Tuesday, the Mb curt., a Bheestee, who
had been bitten three weeks before in the leg by a mad dog,
was carried to the Native Hospital, about three o'clock in
the afternoon, with the symptoms of hydrophobia strongly
upon him. He was immediately bled to the extent of
forty ounces. The symptoms of the disease yielded ha
succession as the blood flowed ; and before the vein was
closed, he stretched out his hand for a cup of water, and
calmly drank it off, though the mere approach of the water
but a few minutes before had thrown him into convulsions,
After the bleeding, he lay down on a cot, fell asleep, and con-
tinued so for nearly two hours. When he awoke the symp-
toms of the disease were threatening to return ; another vein
was then opened, and eight ounces more of blood were takeu
as at th
away, which so completely subdued the disease that he has not
Bheestee who
had a symptom of it since. We are anxious to lose no time
in making this important fact known to the public,
season particularly its immediate publication rnay be the means
but in our next number we
of saving the lives of some individuals. The
is the subject of the foregoing case being still in the hospital,
unprecedented case in the annals of
detail of this most satisfac-
wvve meany).;,dlidOvvever, further add, that the earlier the
we need say no more at this time ;
hope to present our readers with
tflrdvicainned.
practice is adopted after the appearance of unequivocal symp-
toms of hydrophobia, the greater is the chance of success.
