VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

PRICE V. WRIGHT.--INJUNCTION.

Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE applied ex• parte in this case for
an injunction to restrain the defendant and his agents
from selling by public auction or private sale, certain
real estates belonging to the plaintiff, or from receiving
the rents thereof. From the statements of the Learned
Counsel, supported by the affidavit of the plaintiff, it
appeared that the plaintiff being embarrassed in his cir-
cumstances, in the year 1829, made a conveyance
of his property to trustees for the benefit of his
creditors, of whom Mr. Wright was now the only act-
in.. one. Very few creditors came in under that deed,
and the affidavit of the plaintiff swore positively that
Mr. Wright had received from the property of the
plaintiff more than sufficient to pay the debts, and that
he firmly believed there was great danger of the rents
being lost if the defendant was allowed to continue to
receive them. The affidavit of the plaintiff further
stated that on the 13th of last month he received an
intimation from his son of the intention of the defendant
to put the property up to sale by auction on the sth
of the present month. This being the case the present
application was made for the purpose of restraining him
from doing so.
His HONOUR granted the injunction.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. THE STEWARD OF THE MANOR OF RICH

MOND.

Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case, which
was an application for a mandamus to admit a party to
certain copyhold property in the manor. A preliminary
objection had been taken on Saturday by the Attorney-
General, on the ground that. the Queen, who was lady
of the manor, had not been included. The Court was
of opinion that the objection could not be sustained,
and therefore the rule for the mandamus must be made
absolute.
London, England, 1839-11-04

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

CARLISLE.
The election of Councillor to ill the places of those
Whose period of service has expired took place on Fri-
daY. The polling commenced at nine o'clock in the
morning in the different Wards. In Botchergate there
IV" a spirited contest. It is but fair to add, that we
believe the Tory candidates personally took no part in
the matter, and were probably scarcely cognisant of
their names being put forward. So far as party is con-
cerned the Couneil remains precisely as it has been
from the first—composed almost entirely of liberals.—
Carlisle Journal.

LIVERPOOL.—SATURDAY.
The Municipal Elections yesterday, in this town,
Proved rather less favourable to the Liberal party than
had been anticipated. They returned eight, and the
Tories nine Members to the Council ; and that body
now consists of forty-seven Reformers, and seventeen
Tones. Yet, upon this slender ground, the latter have
raised d shout of ' re-action ;' and, judging from the
fuss with which the matter is trumpeted, it would ap-
Pear that a great victory has been gained!

KIDDERMINSTER, Nov. 1.
The municipal election has terminated, after an unu-
sually severe contest, in the return of five Reformers,
and only one Tory to supply the place of the six Coun-
cillors going out of office this year. The Tories
strained every nerve, and actually had the effrontery to
tender the voting paper of a man who was lying at the
time at his own house on his dying bed.
North Ward.—Joseph Boycot (T), 91 ; Charles
Talbot (R), 88 ; Thomas Hopkins (R), 88 ; W. B.
Best (T), 87 ; Paul Hughes (T), 85 ; Wm. Minitie
(R), 84.
South Ward.—John Shemmonds (R) 102 ; Charles
Cole (R), 95 ; George Humphries (R), 93; John
Nettleship, 91 ; Stoddart (T)B7 : Walter
Hill (T) 67.
The three first in each ward were elected.

HARWICH, Nov. 1.
The town has been all excitement for the last few
days, such a desperate effort have the Tories been
making to regain the power in the Council; but not-
withstanding the wretched, vile, and base arts of the
Most unprincipled and unblushing bribery and trea-
chery, the Reformers succeeded in getting two out of
!he four, which will empower them to elect a Ma3or of
their own principles, the first Reform Mayor in the bo-
rough, The Council now consists of nine Reformers
and seven Tories. At the close of the poll the num-
bers were—
' Reformers---Thomas George, Esq., 110 ; Thomas
Wakefield, Esq., 112.
Tories—Mr. F. Stevens, I 1 1 ; Mr. J. T. Groom, l 14.

CORN RIOTS IN FRANCE.

A riot occurred at Dol, in the department of Ille et
Vilaine, on the 24th ult., on the subject of corn. A
crowd, mostly composed of women, 'mopped a waggon
laden with grain, unyoked the horses, and conveyed the
contents to the market. They afterwards proceeded to
the house of the factor, burst in the door, carried off all
the wheat they could find in it to the town stores,
broke all his furniture, and would have killed him if he
had not absconded. A few Gendarmes, who endea-
voured to restore order, were beaten and pelted with
stones. The mob next paid similar visits to the dwel-
lings of several other persons engaged in the corn trade.
The drums of the National Guard beat to arms, but
only twenty or twenty-five turned out, who were over-
come or repulsed by the mob. Several among them
were, moreover, dangerously wounded. Troops were
immediately marched to the town from Rennes and St.
Male, and tranquillity was re-established in the morning
of the 25th ; forty-five of the rioters were arrested, and
removed under a strong escort to St. Malo. The
National Guard of the place was suspended by order of
the prefect, because of the paucity of its members who
presented themselves to do their duty.
London, England, 1839-11-04

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.

Lsst week's arrivals of English Grain and Flour were small,
but the quantity of Foreign Wheat and Oats was good. The
fresh supply of every description of Corn was unusually short
for this season of the year. The best parcels of Wheat, both
English and Foreign, were is. to 2s. per quarter dearer than
last Monday. Barley also advanced 2s. per quarter. Beans
and Grey Pease obtained last quotations. Boiling Pease, 2s.
to 3s. per quarter cheaper. Oats have rather exceeded the
terms of last week. In Flour a fair trade, at former prices.

LICHFIELD.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The Tories have been victorious here for the first
time since the passing of the Municipal Act. They
are indebted for their temporary success to the apathy
and indifference of some of our leading Whigs, and to
the unpopularity of our present Mayor, who was one of
the candidates for re-election. We were also disap-
pointed in not seeing our Member, Lord Alfred Paget,
earlier. If his influence had been thrown into the
scale a few days sooner, the election would have been
secure. The Tories played a deep game ; they dis-
claimed all idea of a contest. Our friends thought
themselves safe, and it was only two days before the
election that the Tory party crept out of their holes, '
and announced the names of their candidates. It
turned out that their agents had arranged all their
plans a month ago, and their emissaries were out in all
directions on the day of election. We still have a large
majority in the Council. The Tories will be disap-
pointed if they suppose they can foist a Tory Mayor
upon the town. We subjoin the final state of the
Poll :

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.)

lIARRISON V. FANS—LITERATURE V. HORSEMANSHIP.
Mr. Sergeant TALFouan said this was a case tried
at Oxford before Mr. Jnstice Williams. The verdict
was for 121. 10s., and he now moved to set it aside, and
for a new trial on the ground that it was a perverse
verdict, and contrary to the direction of the Learned
Judge. The action was brought by a livery-staple
keeper of Oxford, against a young gentlemen of the
University, for the hire of horses and gigs in 1837.
There was a plea of infancy, and a replication of neces-
saries. The young gentleman's father was possessed of
considerable fortune (this being his younger son), and
allowed him to keep a horse. The amount claimed was
for the hire of horses, for part of the time, his own hav-
ing been unfit to be ridden ; and as he had once taken
it after his father's hounds, this was insisted on as
showing the father's knowledge and consent. But the
Learned Sergeant observed that this could not now be
the question ; the point was, whether the claim was
made for necessaries or not. The question of neces-
saries was sometimes purely one of fact, and sometimes
pf fact united with law. The Learned Judge had in
the present case given it as his decided opinion that the
claim was pot for necessaries, remarking that he never
heard of mounting Parnassus upon horseback.—(Loud
ILaughter.) There was no case which could show, that
for an under graduate at a 4niyersity—having a horse,
" too, or '44 own—it was necessary to keep lorses and
gigs.—Rule to show. granted,

THE SERGEANTS V. THE BAR.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having called upon !he
Sergeants, proceeded to go through the bar ; com-
mencing (he happening to be the senior Barrister pre-
sent) with

and I beg to suggest that the Attorney-General, as
the head of the bar, be heard on behalf of the Gentle-

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The necessity of union was never more disastrously
felt than at the election of Town Councillors for our
borough yesterday. Ever since the last election, when
Mr. Tooke lost the representation of the Liberal por-
tion of the constituency, there has been a grudge be-
tween the Whigs and the Radicals, consequently there
has been no union of action. The effect of this was
most severely felt yesterday, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing tabular statement of the termination of the poll
for the two wards into which this town is divided :

Eastern Ward.
C. Carlyon, M.D. (T) 171

first-named were returned.

DEVONPORT.

The election for two Councillors for each of the six
Wards of the Borough of Devonport, took place yester-
day (Friday, Nov. Ist), at the Town Hall, at Morice
Town, and at Stoke. The following was the state of the
poll at the close ;
Morice Ward.—W. B. Blackmnre, 134 ; J. W. W.
Ryder, 85 ; Peter James, 32.
Mr. Peter James withdrew at one o'clock.

put in nomination at a late period, without his consent.]
St. John's Ward.—R. B. Oram, 86 ; W. J. Little,

Our readers are aware that by this Act, which is
now law, the whole of the existing establishments of the
different police offices are abolished, and that their
naaeagement is now vested in the Commissioners of Po-
lice. The number of officers originally attached to the
eight Metropolitan Police Offices, with the exception of
Bow-street, was eight each, but the vacancies that have
taken place in them during the last three or four years
have not been filled up, except in very few instances, so
that there are at present not more than between forty
and fifty men attached to the whole of the police esta-
blishments upon the old system. As by the Police
Act, which has just passed, these appointments have
absolutely ceased and become null, they are at Present
only doing duty pending the decision of the Commis-
' sioners of Police and Secretary of State as to how they
are to be disposed of. Many of these men, the
public are aware, are must active and experienced
eMcers, and who have Len instrumental in the detec--
(ion of the most daring cffendfrs, not only in the me-
tropolis, but in all parts of the country, and some of the
principal officers at Bow-street, in addition to their re-
gular salary and emolument, were in receipt of salaries
from foreign governments for their exertions in the dis-
covery of offenders against them. It was an understand-
ing, when the police offices were placed upon their
original footing, that the appointment of constable was
to be considered as a permanent one for life, except in
case of misconduct. A communication was on Friday
sent to the police offices, directing that in future, no
warrants or summonses should be served by the old
officers, and at the same time requesting the clerks to
state how many men they consider will be required of
the police force to perform that service. This pro- ,
ceeding, it is supposed, is preparatory to the immediate
and entire removal of the old officers from their attendance
upon the magistrates at the different police offices. No-
thing decisive has, of course, yet transpired relative to
the ultimate intention of the Secretary of State upon the
subject ; but it is said, in quarters likely to be well in-
formed respecting it, that, as the capabilities of these
men for performing certain duties are admitted, it is
intended not to deprive the public altogether of their
services ; but that those who choose to accept the ap-
pointment will be placed under the Commissioners, and
will form what may be termed a body of detective police,
acting under the orders of the Commissioners, and
receiving the pay of a superintendent. They are not,
it is said, to have any uniform, but will be chiefly em-
ployed in the country, as their services may be required.
In the course of a few days it is expected that the new
police will be placed upon permanent duty at all the
metropolitan police offices.--Sunday Times.

G UILDHALL.

Henry Good and William Milburn, two of " Tibby's
Fleet-street gang of divers," were brought before Sir
Chapman Marshall, the sitting Alderman, under the fol-
lowing circumstances :
City Police Constable No. 16.5, stated that he was on
duty in ,Fleet-street, between twelve and one o'clock on
Saturday, when a gentleman told him the prisoners had
made an attempt to pick the pocket of another gentle-
man several times. As witness knew that they belonged
to Tibby's gang, and that one of them had just been li-
berated from Bridewell, he took them into custody.

Police Sergeant No. 76, confirmed part oft; the
above statement, and added that although he 'was
known to be the " carrier of the swag" (the stolen
property), they had at present been unable to fix him
but some of the gang had been convicted.

Police Constable No. 218, said he had seen Good at
all hours of the night in the neighbourhood of Fleet-
street in company with regular thieves.
The prisoner Good said that the officer (Thorpe) had
made a charge against him some time ago, and he lost
,it situation in Bridewell Hospital in consequence. He
denied the present charge, and said the officer only
wanted to injure his character. In conclusion, he be-
sought the Alderman to remand him in order that he
might bring witnesses to testify on his behalf.—The
Alderman complied with his request, and the prisoners
were both remanded to Tuesday next,
Gorge Evans, a respectably dressed young man,
was brought up in custody of police-constab ly 218
stated that be was charged with an assaultby Oli whoof
heree to
the Fleet-street walkers, but she was notpress
the charge.—The witness saw them together scu
in Fleet-street, between two and three in the
rnorwinno.g,
and they were rolling on the ground together. He had
taken care of the gentleman's watch and money.—The
Marmon in discharging the prisoner, admonished him
not to be out at such unseasonable hours iu future.
