LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULr 3.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CRADOCK.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared in support of a plea which was
bled by several of the defendant's to this information. One
of the defendants, Colonel Cradock, had demurred sue-
!essfully to the information for multifariousness. Beim
any change was made in the record the defendants, for whom
the Learned Counsel appeared, pleaded the allowance of
'he demurrer as a bar to the suit, upon the authority of
case of Tarleton v. Hornby, before Lord Abinger.
His HONOUR thought the plea was bad in substance.
Mr. KNIGHT had certainly, while he was a draftsman,
signed a plea of this sort, the result of which, however
he was unable to state, but he requested the case might
stand over, to search for precedents.
His HoNowt was not aware there was any precedent of
such a plea, but he would allow the search to be made.
RAWLE V. ROOEE.
Sir WILLIAM HoaNE appeared in support of the will.
The plaintiffs were a person named Rawle and his wife,
and the trustees of their marriage settlement. The defend-
ant was the brother of Mrs. Rawle. Mrs. Rawle was the
widow of a small publican named Seal ; and it appeared she
had, previously to June 1829, amassed a sum of 200/., the
fruits of her own earnings by nursing. This sum the bill
alleged she at that time arranged to deposit with Messrs.
Whitbread, the brewers, in the name of the defendant, her
brother, and a promissory note was given for the amount,
payable with interest to Rooke, but the note was handed
over by him to his sister, in whose possession it has ever
since remained ; and it appeared Rook° regularly paid her
over the interest as he received it up to 1834. Seal left
his widow his executrix ; and upon her marriage with
Rawle a settlement of her property (including 2001. de-
scribed as being in the hands of Messrs. Whitbread) was
made ; but when Rooke, in 1834, was called upon to per-
mit the money to be paid to the trustees he refused, and
claimed the note as his own.
Mr.. KNIGHT appeared for the defendant Rooke. Con-
flicting l6.ldence to a considerable length was read as to
the transactions between the two parties.
His HONOUR, in giving judgment, said the stake was so
small, that, unless both parties desired it, he thought it
better he should decide the question upon the evidence
before him than send it to a Jury.
Sir WILLIAM HORNE was willing to abide his Honour's
judgment.
His HONOUR then said the plaintiffs were entitled to a
decree, with costs.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JuLy 3.
LAND V. CLENIENTS.

This was an action for assault and false imprisonment,
and for maliciously pressing an indictment for a riot. The
case arose out of a disputed claim to a bar at Bird-cage-
walk, Bethnal-green. The plaintiff was a corn-dealer at
Chipping Ongar, in Essex ; the defendant was a person
who was interested in the maintenance of the bar, through
which it appeared many of the people about that neigh-
boured insisted that there was a free passage. On the
11th of November a dispute occurred on this subject, and
an attempt was made to cut down the bar with a hatchet,
alid to force a free passage. The attempt was success-
fully resisted, and the defendant afterwards charged the
plaintiff with being one had joined in making the attempt,
and had him apprehended on that charge, and subsequently
preferred an indictment against him. The defendant did
not follow up the charge, and the plaintiff was discharged,
and he then brought this action for damages for this im •
prisonment and for the indictment.—The Jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001.

ADMIRALTY COURT, JuLr 3.
THE MARIA.-SALVAGE.

This was a suit for salvage, promoted by the crew of a
yawl, the Red Rover, for services alleged to have been ren-
dered by her to the brig Ofaria. This latter vessel, while
on a voyage from the Levant to Hull, laden with bones, got
on the Cross Sands near Yarmouth, on the 10th of Febru-
ary last. Two yawls having discovered her situation set off
to render assistance, and the services of the first, the one
now claiming for salvage, were accepted. The Maria was
got off the Sand, and was carried with safety into Yarmouth
Roads, but having come from Smyrna, and not having a
" Clean Bill of Health," she was not allowed to enter into
the harbour, but was sent to the quarantine station, whi-
ther the salvers were compelled to accompany her, and
were detained with her for 37 days. The value of ship and
cargo amounted to about 2,3441., and a tender for 300/. for
compensation for the services was offered but refused.
The Learned Judge allotted 4501. to the salvors with
costs.

INSOLVENT COURT, Jur.r 3.

William Charles Lake Bashford was opposed by Messrs.
Clarke and Lewis, newspaper agents. He was supported
by Mr. WOODROOPE. The insolvent had been in part-
nership with a man named Butler, as merchants and
commission agents, in Broad-street. He had been direc-
tor of the Single Horse Safety Carriage Company, of the
Middlesex Coal Association, of the Central British Rail-
way and Sandwich Harbour Company. He was further
described as one of the directors of the Wheal Ashburton
Mining Company, and auditor of the London Collier and
Coal Company. His insolvency was ascribed to losses in
public companies and speculations.

Mr. Commissioner i3OWEN, in ordering his discharge,
cautioned him as to his future conduct. If lie speculated
as he had done, and came to the Court within five years,
ha would not be discharged without the consent of three-
fourths of his creditors.
