LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—Nor. 8.
CIIENNEL V. MARTIN.
In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when
our reporter left, the LORD CHANCELLOR thought the or-
der of the 111 aster of the Rolls allowing the exceptions
was right in substance, but his Lordship altered the order
in so far as to refer the report back to be revised on the
matter of exceptions, without formally allowing these ex-
ceptions.

TICE-CHAN CELL OR' S CO URT.—Nor. 8.
WATERS V. TAYLOR.

In this ease, which was not concluded yesterday when
OUT reporter quitted the Court, the VICE-CHANCELLOR
thought that under the circumstances there was no ground
for refusing the prayer of the petition, and accordingly or-
dered that the money to which the Master bad reported the
petitioners to ba entitled should be transferred to them.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, 11'•r. 8.
THE QUEEN V. WILSON.

Mr. Carus Wilson, the defendant, in person appeared to
move for a ru!e to show cause why a new trial should not
be granted in this case. He stated that a criminal infor-
mation had been filed against him for the publication of a
libel, and that the case was tried at the last Assizes at Shef-
field, before Lord Abinger, when a verdict of guilty was
pronounced. The ground of his present application for a
new trial was, that the Learned Judge had misdirected the
Jury.—Rule refused.

BAIL COURT.
OTHO, KING OF GREECE, V. WRIGIIT.

Mr. RICHARDS was instructed on the part of the de-
fendant (notwithstanding the high station of the plaintiff)
to apply to the Court for a rule calling upon the plaintiff
to show cause why he should not give the defendant secu-
rity for his costs. The presentl action arose out of certain
mercantile transactions that had taken place between the
plaintiff and the defendant. In the course of the proceed-
ings the plaintiff had amended his declaration after a plea
had been filed by the defendant, the consequence of which
was that the defendant was called upon to plead de novo,
and was in the same situation as if he had not pleaded at
all, and therefore entitled to make the present application.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—You may take a rule to show
cause.

ARCHES COURT.—Nor. 8.
BLUNT AND FULLER V. HARWOOD.

This was a suit for Church-rates promoted by Messrs.
Blunt and Fuller, the Churchwardens of the parish of
Streatham, against Mr. Harwood, an inhabitant of the same
parish. The rate, which was one shilling in the pound, was
made " under, and in pursuance of," two Acts of Parlia-
ment which were passed for the purpose of authorising the
raising of money for enlarging, repairing, and altering
churches. The libel was this day offered for admission.
Dr. LUSHINGTON, on behalf of Mr. Harwood, opposed
the admissibility of the allegation.
The Learned JUDGE said that it would be impossible for
the Court to enforce the rate unless all the conditions of
the Act had been complied with ; and that it was neces-
sary that that should be pleaded in the libel. This had
not been done. He would, therefore, send the allegation
back to Counsel to be generally reformed.

WRIGHT V. ELLWOOD.

This was a suit for nullity of marriage, promoted by Mr.
Wright against Amelia, otherwise Emma, Ellwood, falsely,
as it is alleged, calling herself Wright. The case set up by
the party proceeding is of an extraordinary nature. It ap-
peared that the person cited (whose name was, as we under-
stand, Jones) lived some time since in a state of concubinage
with a Mr. Harlowe Ellwood, in Ireland ; that she was sud-
denly seizedwith illness, and was desirous of receiving the sa-
crament, which however was refused by the clergyman of
the parish, and that in consequence of this a marriage took •
place in 1820 between these parties. This marriage is
proved, and its validity is unopposed. Some years after-
wards this lady deserted her husband, and proceeded to
England, where she became acquainted with Mr. Wright,
one of the parties in the cause, to whom she represented
herself as Emily Ellwood, an unmarried minor, and that
she was under the care of guardians, whose consent not
being able to he obtained to their marriage, they agreed
that in the publication of banns she should assume the name
of Emma. The banns were accordingly published (she be-
ing styled Emma Ellwood, spinster) in the parish church of
St. John's, Westminster, in 1.826. Mr. Ellsvood,
.who was
alive at the time of the publication of banns, died before
the celebration of the marriage. The marriage is attempted
to be upset on the ground of a false publication of banns.
Dr. PHILLimorcE was heard at some length in support
of the nullity of the marriage.
Thr: Learned JUDGE deferred his decision.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

William Thomas, charged on the verdict of a coro-
ner's jury with the murder of James Randal, was yesterday
brought up for final examination before Mr. DYER.
The witnesses were bound over to prosecute, and the
prisoner was removed.

Lord and Lady Frederick Gordon arrived at their
villa at Chiswick on Monday last, from a tour.
" THE OBSERVER" OF SUNDAY, N0v.12, PRICE
FIVEPENCE.—The Conductor and the Editors of The
Observer will, agreeably to their usual plan on important
occasions, give the most correct particulars of the Cere-
monies of the Queen's Visit on Lord Mayor's Day, which
will be illustrated by-Engravings of the Interior of Guild-
hall, and a Panoramic Sketch of the Procession. The
price of The Observer is Fivepence, and on this occasion
The Observer will be kept on sale during the following
week, at the Office, 170, Strand ; where franks may be
had gratis, to send it to all parts of the United Kingdom.
We learn, with some degree of satisfaction, that
the widow who married the person calling himself T. W.
Snape, is far from being disconsolate ; that she hugs her-
self upon the nature of the transaction, though the gay
seducer left her at the portal of the churuh, to make her.
way home as best she could. There is in her mode of.
consoling herself a great degree of philosophy—it is wino
to make the best of a bad bargain. The last plies to
which we traced the Benedict was an hotel in Sackville-
street, where,it is said, he assumed the title of Lord For-
rester, and franked letters in that name. On Friday last
he loft Tommy's for Liverpool, telling the waiters ho would
return,but he has not since been heard of. Ere leaving
he demanded the widow's plate from her jeweller, and on
being refused, be threatened he would make his will and
bequeath it to his relatives, who would bring actions, as
he expected to fall in a duel with some of the friends of
the young lady to whom he was paying his addresses be-
fore and after the marriage. There is, we understand, an
intention to overhaul a gentleman who introduced the gay
seducer at the Commercial-buildings.—Dublin Evening
Packet.
