SIEVEKING V. BEHRENS.

This is a bill of interpicader with respect to the disproval
of a sum of 8771. the produce of some goods remaining in
the hands of Sieveking at the time of the bankruptcy of a
firm in Lubeck. Three parties presented their claims in the
Lord Mayor's Court, and the plaintiff being garnesbee filed
his bill for protection against an action commenced against
him by the assignees of the bankrupt. The matter has been
frequently of late before the Court.
Mr. JACOB now stated that a person named Von Melle,
for whom he appeared, had exhibited his claim in the
Mayor's Court, and nothing remained to be acceded but
the claim of the assignees, which was before his Lordship.
Von Melle had, however, according to the practice, gone to
an inquisition before a jury with respect to the value of tl:e
goods on the bonds of the plaintiff, and that jury had found
them on appraisement to be worih 1621. more than hs stated
as the produce of the sale. The ohj,-!et of the present ar-
bitration was to have this sum paid into Court.
The Loin CHANCELLOR could not make such an order
on the case as it at present stood. There must be a refe-
rence to the Master to ascertain the value of the goods,
making all just allowances to Sieveking.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 28.
• LEATHLEY V. REYNOLDS.

Mr. KNIGHT moved ex parte fir an injunction to re-
strain the negotiation of bills of exchange, accepted for a
gambling debt. The plaintiff, whose residence was in Bed-
ford-place, Rusiell-square, but who was now a prisoner in
the Queen's Bench, accepted an invitation from a person
named Irwin to dine, on the 10th of May last, with a
party at Fricour's, in St. Martin's lane. He went, and was
there introduced to three persons, named Samuel Bamford
Hamer, Edward Reynolds, and George William Reynolds,
who completed the party. During the dinner, and after it,
at the solicitation of his. companions, the plaintiff drank a
large quantity of wine. Cards were then introduced, when
he sat down, and played ecarte till early next morning. Ha-
mer kept the reckoning ; and, at the conclusion, the plain-
tiff found himself a loser of 5201. 155., for which, haying
no money with him, he was obliged to accept the bills in
question. Three of these were dated the 17th of May,
payable in one, two, and three months, the first for 117/.
15s , and the remaining two fir 1171. 18s. 6d. each. These
were drawn by Hamer. Two others were dated the 27th
of May, payable at three and six months, for 851. each,
and these were drawn by Edward Reynolds. Hamer in-
dorsed the first of his bills to a person who was at the time
a waiter at Fricour's, and was now in fact his own servant ;
and at the suit of that person, who was merely a nominal
holder, the plaintiff was at this moment a prisoner. Under
these circumstances, the bill was filed against all the
parties concerned in the transaction, and the injunction was
applied for.
His HONOUR granted the injunction, restraining the de-
fendants from parting with the bills.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLEBONE.

SAVAGE laisi OUTRAGE.—Yesterday Tip lathy and
Dennis Donovan (brothers), Jo.!eph Crawley, James Car-
ney, Thomas Fogel:, and Dennis .Iturphy, a precious sam-
ple of the "finest pisantry in all the world," were brought
up in custody of the police, charged with having half-mur-
dered their countrymen Edward Doyle, for no other earthly
reason but because he happened to belong to a different
country.

The complainant, whose face and head were a mass- of
blood and bruises, had recently landed at Liverpool from
Ireland, and, like the rest of his countrymen, he set off on
foot towards London in search of employment. On arriving
near Hendon on the previous evening he met the prisoners
on the road, who began to jeer and hoot, telling him to
" walk asier." He replied that he had had walking enough,
and desired them to mind their own business ; whereupon
Timothy Donovan ran up to him and felled him to the
ground with a large stick (here produced). This was the
signal of a general attack,: and the rest of the party fell
upon him, and beat, kicked, and jumped on his body, till
life was nearly estinet, and they would have finished him
upon the spot had not another Irishman from the same
coenty as himself gone up and pulled them away for which
he was severely beaten. On hearing the cry of " Mur-
der !" the police came running up, when the prisoners toek
to their heels, but were secured after a chece of two miles.

Anthony Arles, the Irishman alluded to, bore ample tes-
timony to the barbarity of the prisoners.
Mr. Hosims (to complainant)--Why did the prisoners
use you in this manner ?
Complainant—l don't know, your Honour. They were
all strangers to me. For no other cause, but because 1
came from Connaught and they are Munster men ; there
can be no other reason, as I had never spoken to them be-
fore in my life. The most deadly animosity prevails be-
tween the two counties, and when the adverse party ►net
they fought with the moat determined fury with sticks,
stones, or any other weapons they could get hold of.
Mr. HOSKINS fined them 50s. each, and, in default,
they were committed for six weeks.
