THE INFLUENZA--The number of cases of severe
influenza which have occurred in the House of Correction, (an
establishment containing about 1,000 persons) is 105. Many
more have been attacked by it during this week, but the
greater number are now in a progressive state of convales,
cence. That. it is produced by gaseous or miasmatic effluvia
suspended in the atmosphere, nut a doubt can be entertained,
and a medical gentleman has even suggested that a vessel of
the air now encompassing us might be preserved for a future
day, for analysis, or for experimenting with on the lungs in a
more healthy season. The deadly effect which this epidemic
has upon the constitution carries off those seized with it with
a rapidity hardly credible, and far exceeding what was expe-
rienced in the cholera. In respect to its treatment, like that
opprobrium medicorum gout, the endeavours of medical men
have been latterly directed to palliate rather than to cure, for
they now find that, when once established, it will run through
its proper course, despite of every attempt to stop it.

On the subject of the Money Market the Morning Courier
of the 7th ult. says :--

" We are happy at the close of the week, and previous to
the sailing of the packet to-morrow, to hare it in our power to
say, for the information of foreign readers, that the state of
the Money Market in this city during the week now expiring
has become decidedly more favourable ; and that the immense
amount of mercantile engagements already liquidated, with
the comparative small amount still outstanding, hold out the
prospect of a gradual reduction on the rate of interest for
money. On the whole, if the prices abroad of our great
staple products do not materially decline there is no reason to
apprehend any further interruption to our commercial pros-
perity."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 4.

VERNON V. VERNON.

This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the
Rolls, allowing a general demurrer to the plaintiff's bill.
The hill prayed an injunction to restrain Messrs. Fraser
and Alexander,.merchants in London, from receiving a sum
granted as compensation for slaves on an estate in the
island of St. Vincent, on the ground that these slaves had
been fraudulently removed from an estate in the island of
Antigua, of which estate the plaintiff alleged himself to be
heir in tail on the death of his father, one of the defendants.
The charge was that, the estate being let for different terms
of years since 1785 to a person named Cassamajor, he, in
violation of the terms of the lease, and without the know-
ledge of the plaintiff or his family, removed forty-nine of
the slaves to another estate of his own in the same island,
and subsequently sold them to a person named Punnet, who
removed them to St, Vincent, and that the Messrs. Fraser,
as mortgagees of the estate of Punnet, were now about to
receive the money allowed for them under the Slave Com-
pensation Act.
Sir W. HORNE, for the defendant, in opposition to the
appeal, contended that the averments in the bill were tho-
roughly contradictory of each other, and, therefore, fully
justified the propriety of the decision of the Master of the
Rolls, in allowing a general demurrer.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the Master
of the Rolls was right, that the demand must be allowed,
and that the appeal must be dismissed with costs.
Mr. WIGRASI applied for leave to amend the bill. , His
Lordship gave leave.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FED. 4.
PHILLIPS V. PHIPPS.

Mr. KNOWLES stated that this was an action on a bill of
exchange for the sum of 731. I3s. This bill had been in-
dorsed by the defendant to the plaintiff, who discounted it
for him. The plaintiff was an ironmonger, living in the
neighbourhood, and the defendant was an upholsterer. In
November, 1835, the defendant purchased a quantity of
nails of the plaintiff, the price of which amounted to
3/. 35.; and a few days afterwards the defendant applied to
the plaintiff to discount for him the bill in question. The
plaintiff consented to do this, upon condition of having the
debt of 31. 3s. for nails paid at the same time. The ar-
rangement was made and the bill discounted. The bill was
dishonoured, and .the defendant now pleaded, first, that
there had been no notice-of the dishonour of the bill ; and,
secondly, that the plaintiff had been guilty of usury in the
transaction.

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff on both the
issues.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEa. 4.
BOWMAN V. WILLIS.

The action 'in this case was brought to recover the pro-
ceeds of a borso belonging to the stud of the late Dr. Wil-
lis, of Greatford, Lincolnshire, which had been sold at Tat-
tersall's.

The plaintiff, who resided at Greatford, was on terms of
great intimacy with Dr. Willis and his family. Dr. Willis
died suddenly in September, 1835, and the defendant was
his nephew. In the'spring of 1834 the Plaintiff had in his
possession a bay gelding by Haphazard, and Dr. Willis
being pleased with it, and wishing to purchase it, it was
sent to his stables. After a trial, however, Dr. Willis said
that the gelding was apt to shy and rough in its action, but
said that he would turn it out to grass and to it again.
rite gelding was accordingly turned' out to grass. and its
tail was cut in uniformity with the other horses of Dr.
Willis. In the course of the winter the gelding was hunted,
and it remained in Dr. Willis's possession up to the period
of his death, and was sold at Tattersall's, in the defendant's
name, along with the other horses left him by his uncle.
The plaintiff now claimed the sum for which the gelding
had been sold, together with certain expenses, in the whole
amounting to 102/. 16s. Gd.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
102/. 16s. Gd.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FED. 4.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. W. KRNNEFECK.
This was an information under the 6th Geo. IV., cap.
68, filed at the suit of the Attorney-General against the
defendant, for smuggling from Newcastle into the port of
Cork 200 bales of tobacco, at 81. 10s. per bale. The
penalties- were laid at over 7,0001., being three times the
amount of the market price.
In 1831 and 183:2 the defendant, in connection with one
Dennis Richard Moylan (who is the principal witness for
the Crown in these prosecutions), and other parties, planned
a contraband traffic in tobacco, which, however, did not
take place till the 10th of June, 1833; when, the bales of
tobacco in question were shipped on board a collier at
Newcastle, and arrived in Cork on or after the 19th of
July, 1833, as contended for by the Crown. The principal
witness for the Crown, Moylan, who was himself one of
the parties implicated, detailed the particulars.
Mr. JERVIs, for the defendant, cross-examined him, with
a view to impeaCh his credit. He stated that his first
smuggling trtingaction took place in 1805 or 160 G, with

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 4.
IN RE JOHN 'WHITEHEAD.
This matter, which had been before the Court for some
time, was now finally determined. The question raised
was relative to the distribution of future acquired property.
The insolvent, who is in his 72d year, was discharged under
the Act in 1820, and, about twelve months since, his bro-
ther, Robert Whitehead, had died intestate ;- his property
had been divided, and the insolvent's share amounted to
380/. The assignees had exerted themselves, and the
Court were called upon to apportion that sum.
The Learned Commissioners were of opinion that 1751.
should be paid to the creditors, leaving the residue for the
insolvent. That sum would pay them, after the expenses,
about seven shillings in the pound.
Mr. COOKE remarked that this man was discharged
seventeen years ago, and the case appeared a hopeless one ;
but now the creditors would be paid a good dividend.
Mr. WOODROFFE was instructed in a case, in which cre-
ditors under three schedules would be paid in full out of
future acquired property, and yet the public were ignorant
of the benefits to be derived under the estates of insolvents.
