LIW INTELLIGENCE•

COURT OF CHANCERY—Nor. 2.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. COOPER.
Sir \V. IloaNE moved in this matter to discharge two
orders of the Vice-Chancellor ; the first refusing the rela-
tors leave to amend their information, by striking out the
names of parties, and the second directing the inlOrmation
itself to be taken off the file. The information had been
filed in the name of the Attorney-General, at the instance
of certain persons, eight of whom became relators, and its
object was to procure a better administration of certain
trust estates, left for the purposes of education in the Bo-
rough of Evesham. These estates have been managed by
the Corporation and by trustees, and the bill was tiled
against the new Corporation, against the trustees, and also
against Lord Northwick, who is heir-at-law of the person
who is entitled to the real estate.
Mr. WAKEFIELD, for the Corporation of Evcsham,
agreed in support of the orders of the Court below.
The LoRD-CDANcELLott was of opinion that the order
of the Vice Chancellor was perfectly right, and the appeal
against it must be dismissed with costs.

VICE- CHANCEL T OR' S CO URT.—Nor. 2.
BECEFORD V. ANDERTON.

Mr. KNIGHT, Queen's Counsel, moved on behalf of the
plaintiff, Mr. Beeldord, that, notwithstanding an injunction
granted on the sth of last July the defendant be ordered to
deliver up to the said plaintiff the bills of lading of twelve
hogsheads of sugar now in his possession, the property of
plaintiff, or that it be referred to the Master to appoint a
receiver to dispose of the sugar, and pay the net proceeds
into Court. The plaintiff was purchaser of a❑ estate in the
West Indies, and the contract stipulated that the crop up
to a certain time should remain the property of the vendor,
and after that time become the property of the purchaser.
The twelve hogsheads in dispute were produced off the
estate subsequent to the stipulated time.
Mr. WIGRAxt, Queen's Counsel, for the defendant, had
no objection to the sugar being sold, and the produce
being paid into Court, but contended that his clients had
a right to see them and obtain the commission.
His HONOUR adjourned the further consideration of the
case until this day.
Some motions of course were granted, and the Court ad-
journed until ten o'clock this day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 2.
THE QUEEN V. SAMUEL GEORGE FORD.
Sir W. FOLLETT applied on behalf of Sir Charles Clarke,
Bart., for a rule to show cause why a criminal information
should not be filed against this defendant for writing a cer-
tain threatening letter to Sir C. Clarke. The imputations
conveyed in this letter left him, especially as he was a mar-
ried man, with a large family, no other course but to make
the present application to the Court. Sir C. Clarke was a
very eminent medical man, and in May, 1836, he was con-
sulted at his house in Saville-row by a lady, who then de-
scribed herself as a married woman, but who, it subse-
quently appeared, was actually carrying on an illicit inter-
course with the defendant. Sir Charles Clarke attended
her twice in June. In January, 1837, he was again con-
sulted by her, and attended her in that month, and in
March, June, and July. He was in the habit of leaving
town for some time in the course of every summer, and he
always authorised some confidential medical friend to open
his letters in his absence. In the present year he authorised
Dr. Wilson to do so ; and while staying in Norfolk he re-
ceived from Dr. Wilson a letter, dated on the 17th of Oc-
tober, and written by the defendant, whose handwriting
had been since identified. This letter the Learned Counsel
read. It contained, in vulgar terms, an imputation that Sir
C. Clarke had, by his conduct to the lady already referred
to, abused the confidence placed in him as a medical man.
The affidavit of Sir C. Clarke, in the most positive and
circumstantial manner, denied this imputation, in which he
declared there was not one syllable of truth.
The COURT granted the rule.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 2.
GRAY V. TITTMAN.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE was instructed to apply to the
Court on behalf of the defendant, Mr. Tittman, vestry
clerk of the parish of Paddington, for permission to pay
into Court the amount of a reward which had been offered
by the Churchwardens of that parish for the apprehension
of the notorious Greenacre, whose crimes have excited so
much public indignation. It appeared that there were at
present several claimants for the reward, and the defendant
was of course anxious to render himself safe with regard
to the payment. He apprehended that the proper mode
of proceeding was to pay the money into Court, for the be-
nefit of the parties to whom the Court might ultimately
decide it to be due.
The COURT granted a rule Nisi.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 2.
BRAY v. WEEKES.

Mr. RICIIARDS moved for a prohibition to be directed to
the Court of Conscience at Bristol. At the last registra-
tion the defendant had objected to the plaintiff's vote, in
consequence of which the plaintiff attended to assert his
right, when nobody appeared to impugn it. He accord•
ingly summoned the defendant to recover two shillings and
sixdence for the loss of his time, and the Commissioners of
the Court of Conscience at Bristol had awarded payment
of that sum. The Learned Counsel argued that, according
to the Local Act, the Commissioners had no jurisdiction
in the case.

The COURT expressed a strong opinion that the Commis.
sioucrs had exceeded their authority.
The Court rose at three o'clock. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday Captain Remington, of the ship Posthuntus,
brought to the justice-room the captain of a vessel lately
wrecked, the mate, and four seamen, all of whom he had
saved from perishing.
Captain Remington, on the 23d of September last, in
lat. 42. N. long. 62. W., experienced a very severe gale
from the N.E , which vered to the E.S.E., and terminated
in a complete hurricane, which threw them on their beam
ends for sixteen hours, and in which they sustained consi-
derable loss. On the 24th they fell in with the brig Nova
Scotia, of Liverpool, in Nova Scotia, whi,;ll had been up-
set in the hurricane of the preceding night. He had just
gone below to take a little rest after his labours, and was
waked up by the watch, who told him that there was a
wreck close at hind. He immediately hoisted out his boat,
to the great risk of the lives of the boat's crew, and saved
the crew of the wreck, who would doubtless have perished
if exposed without assistance for a couple more hours.
Ever since he landed in London he had been obliged to
support the poor men, for, to his great astonishment, he had
found it impossible to excite any sympathy for them amongst
the persons to whom he detailed the particulars of their
calamity.
The Lola') MAYOR had great confidence in the belief that
the intelligence would reach the ears of some humane per-
sons, and that adequate means would be supplied to enable
them to return home.
