Sir HERBERT JENNER gave judgment in this case, which
was argued at Hilary Term. The proceedings in the
cause have been very lengthened, and the evidence ex-
tremely bulky, indeed more voluminous than ever before
recollected in the practice of the Court. A full report of
all the facts of the case were given at the hearing.
The Learned JUDGE said the question in this case arose
with respect to the will, or a paper propounded as the will,
of Mr. Prindoch Barry, of Tallerton-hall, in the county of
Nottingham, who died on the 13th of March, 1833, of
the age of 75 or 76 years of age. The deceased was a
widower, his wife having died in 1811. The deceased left
an only son, who would have been entitled in distribution
had he died intestate. The deceased was tenant for life of
real estates of the value of between 3,000/. and 4,0001.
a-year, to which his son bad succeeded. The deceased
had personal property to the amount of about thirteen
thousand or fourteen thousand pounds, the whole of which,
by the paper propounded, was given away from the son,
Mr. Barry Barry, one of the parties in the cause.
Aftei going at length into a review of the facts proved,
and alltiling to a charge of a certain peculiar nature against
Mr. B. Barry, the Learned Judge thought that the de-
ceased ultimately believed it to be true, and as he had
withdrawn his regard from his son, there was no distribu-
tion so probable as that made by the will. The evidence,
preparation, and execution were satisfactory, and Ile (Sir
H. Jenner) had no hesitation in pronouncing for the va- '
lidity of the will, and a decree of probate to Mr. Barry.
He must go further, considering the opposition to the will,
and condemn Mr. B. Barry in, the costs of the suit from
the time of giving in his allegation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A young Irishwoman, named 11PC'ormack, was brought
before the LORD MAYoa under very extraordinary cir-
cumstances.

The beadle of Aldgate parish stated that in consequence
of information which he had received that the prisoner had
been delivered of a child a search was made, but no child
was found. There was still, however, no doubt existing
on the minds of the authorities that the birth of a child
had taken place, and it was considered necessary to have
the ratter investigated before the Chief Magistrate. The
girl denied that anything of the kind had occurred.
Amongst other facts, it was stated that the prisoner said,
upon being charged with having become a mother without
making the necessary disclosure, and upon seeing that a
search was about to be made, " 011, if you search, you'll
,find nothing, for the father has taken it away."
The prisoner—l said that I had nothing at all of the
kind, and if I had that I dare say I could find a father for it.
The LORD MAYOR—Did not Mr. Levy give you half-
a-crown when he saw you were ill ? The prisoner—Yes.
Mr. Levy—One of the young women lent her a shawl
when she was going away, and she now refuses to restore
it, as she insists it was a gift, and can't be recovered.
The prisoner—On, I don't care a straw about the shawl.
I would not wear such a paltry thing.

. _
The LOAD MAYOR—YOU are a most worthless woman,
and I am convinced that the charge is a correct one, but
the case must fall to the ground for want of an indispen-
sable part of the evidence. The prisoner—l was not in
that way you speak of at all. I never had anything of
the kind.

The LORD MAYOR—I am obliged to discharge you,
but I advise you to take care how you are brought before
me again.

HA TTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Mr. Rayner, the comedian, was brought be-
fore Mr. ROGERS, charged by Norris, a private watchman,
with committing a nuisance.
Mr. Wooller said they were not justified in detaining
his client, who had been confined all night. Mr Rayner
was a respectable man, and one whom they deemed in-
capable of committing himself in the manner described.
The place near a public-house was one likely for persons
to stop at if occasion required.
Mr. ROGERS discharged ilia), ordering him to pay Is.,
which he did, and quitted the office, evidently excited, and
not without reason, expressing his indignation at the treat-
ment he had received.
