LAW INTELLIGENCE.

coMID Op q tiEEICI'S BENCH, Ndr. 11.
THE QUEEN V. THE tIIEASINIER MIDPLESEX.
A conditional order for a ma wfantus Lfeen ohtanwd
in this c:;se, directed to the Treys firer of i\lid
ing him to pay 6091., the amount of e( rtain fees claimed by
J. Clark in respect of prison fees. The claim was for a
long time is abeyance, and was of a twofold nature—first,
in respect of every felon sentenced to transportion for life ;
and, second, on every such felon whose s.:mtenec,‘ wits corn-
muted to hard labour and impriscument. For -each of Ciuse
Mr. Clark claimed s fee of Gid.
After hearing Counsel, Lord DENMAN thought that,
with respect to the fees chargeable on imp; isonment :41a1
hard labour, the claim was very obsolete ; it required the
interposition of an Act of Parliament to revive it ; -and
that part of the rule must be discharged. With respect to
the ether part., he thought that the Legislature plainly in-
tended certain remuneration for certa'n la'. our. A, the
case required further inquiry, he thou;ht that part of the
rule should be made absolute.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 11.

BUSH V. GREEN.

This was an action of trover, to recover a gun which had
been s-iral by the plaintiff, and the main question arming
out of the pleas was, whether the defendant had acted nn-
der a deputation from the lord of the manor. The Jury
had found for the plaintiff, and that there was no manor ;
and Mr. Gale, for the defendant, had obtained a rule nisi
for a nonsuit. The arguments on that,rule were concluded
to-day.—The Court discharged the rule.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nor. 11.
TAYLOR V. PARSONS.

Mr. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict in this case should not be set aside and a new trial
granted. It was an action brought against the defendant
as the acceptor of a bill of exchange for 1001., before Mr.
Baron Holland, and a verdict had been found for the plain-
tiff. The bill had been drawn by a man of the name of
Padmore, and purported to have been accepted by the de-
fendant, and it was afterwards indorsed by Padmore to
Mr. Taylor, the plaintiff. It was dated April 12, n'34,
payable two months' after date ; it bad, therefore, become
due three years ago. The defendant declared the bill to be
a forgery, and the Learned Counsel moved for the rule, on
the grounds that inadmissible evidence had been admitted,
that the 4efendant was taken by surprise, and that the wit-
nesses of the plaintiff were perjured.—The Court granted
the rule nisi on the second ground of application, Mr.
Kelly having waived the first.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

G UILDHALL.

On Saturday Miss White, who stood charged with pur-
loining a wine glass and a table spoon from the tables in
Guildhall, on the night of the banquet, was again put to
the bar.

Since the previous hearing Roe, the officer, had searched
her house, and made inquiries about her character. He
found a great number of tender epistles, which had been
addressed to her, but no pawnbrokers' duplicates, or other
indications of pecuniary pressure ; nothing to raise a sus-
picion that she had been guilty of pilfering elsewhere. It
was concluded, therefore, that she had been moved by a
foolish impulse to possess a memorial of the day.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND told the prisoner that when
she reached home she should fall down on her knees and
thank her God, for she had very narrowly escaped being
committed for trial. It should be a warning to her till the
last hour of her life.—She was discharged.
