fame minutes,the father of the prisoner came in, and said hi•
sots was gone to find the key, and I agreed to wait twenty
minutes longer ; but shortly hearing a. noise in the room
We suspected that some one, was breaking in some other
'way, and therefore the officer broke open the door,
and we found a hole in the ceiling and , the room ftill of
dust. We searched and found five movements, which, though
put in cases, I can swear were part of the property stolen
from my premises. The prisoner did not return while
we stopped, and .I never saw hint afterwards until he was
taken in's) custody. The witness here produced two.'
movements which he identified as hi* property. :Ile had
not delayed in any respect the prosecution of the prisoner.
Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON,-.I never signed
a round robin to fetch the prisoner from New South
The movements had the name of Dwerri-
house and Carter engraved on them. When
found thetn in some instances the name was changed. I
saw them a day or two before they were -taken
from my premises. I marked them and numbered them
myself. The witness here stated the • numbers ,to the
Court, and said he could, with the assistance of a glass,
distinguish them, though there had been an attempt at
erasure. They must have gone through two or three
tradesmen's Ii mils after I loit them. I will not swear to
any other part of the movements than those on which the
numbers are engraved. •
James Stratford, servant to the last witness, corrobo-
rated, in every particular, the evidence of his employer.
Samuel Miller, officer of Larnheth-street, produced
another movement found at the prisoner's house on the
day in question, which the prosecutor identified as his pro-
perty. This closed the case for the prosecution. •
VI4LLIES, who was also for the prisoner, but who
had been: engaged in the Old Court, now contended that
this indictment could not be sustained, as before the con-
viction of 'a principal the receiver was only guilty of a
misdemeanour, whereas the indictment charged the pri-
soners with feloniously receiving.
Mr. CLARKSON followed on the same side.
The COURT overruled the objection, and the Jury in-
stantly returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner was then. arraigned on the seventh indict-
went against him, the-trial of which was proceeding When
our reporter left the Court.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(SATunpsy.)

HEAD V.. 110DOSON.

This case, which was heard at considerable length yester-
day, and which the Court ordered to be spoken to this morn-
ing, was a suit instituted by the plaintiff against the de-
fendant Hodgson, as the beir4t-law of William Milton,
deceased, and the defendant, Palmer, as his personal repre-
sentative, to compel them specifically toperform a contract
for the purchase of a close' near the city of Carlisle. The close
in question, which went by the name of Spittal Dub Close,
was purchased by plaintiff from Railton for 5001. in 1819.
The defendant Hodgson, as the heir at law of the vendor,
refused to convey the close or to perform the contract,
alleging by his answer that Thomas Railtou who had de-
vised it to William Railton, was of unsound mind at the
Aims of making his will, that it had nut been executed
according to the statute of wills, and that even if, it was
duly executed, that it only gave to Wm. Railton a life estate
and not au estate in fee ; and further, that if the will de-
vised the Ouse in fee, that Mr. Railton was of unsound
mind and not capable of entering into a contract. The
defendant also alleged that the plaintiff had given an in.
adequate price.

The Vica-CuaNcEtzoa, in giving judgment, observed
that as to the question of the due execution
of the will, he had no doubt whatever that it had
been duly' executed and then came a question
whether it would be right for the Court to direct en
home. Hie Honour thought it would not be just to have
the rights of the parties tried in an itt.ue, but that the
case should proceed upon the footing that it was proved
so as to ' bind the defendaot that the will was
duly executed and attested. The next question
would be, was Thomas Railton competent to do
what he had -done; the evidence on that subject
greatly preponderated, whether he was perfectly capable
of understanding what he was about, and it was not pre-
tended that there was any baud. The evidence of the
plaintiff's witnesses shewed elearly that the price agreed
npon was not an nadir price; but the evidence on the part
of the defendant was so extravagant, that Counsel feltitself
boomd to put it out of consideration altogether. Taking the
whole case together, the Court was clearlyof opinion that the
evidence was sufficient to show that there was no fraud,
and that the price which urns given was a fair price. The
Court could nut but think the defendant had been misled,
by those who had circulated stories about the incompe-
tency of the party and the value of the property, to defend
the present suit, which ought never to have been de-
fended; the Court felt hound, therefore, to decree a specific
performance, with costs.
Mr. WaxErnao submitted that the cause ought to
stand over, for the purpose of, enabling Hodgson to pro,
coed with the action of ejectment, or that an issue should
be directed.

Mr. Lovarr objected to this course.
The Viesc.CmoscELLott expressed his djsinclination to
direct at, issue, but would hear Mr. Wakefield, if bewislictl
it, on that point in the morning.
The SOLICITOR•(}ENERAL and Mr. WAKttrumn were
heard on their part this day, and,
His ilosroun said he should abide by his former opi-
nion, decreeing a specific performance with coits. But
the defendint might, if he thought proper, loing an Letion
to try hi' title as heir-at-law of Thomas Itailton.
