LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
CLARK/ V. DREW.

Mr. Bum' prayed on behalf of Mr. Thomas Clarke
(now in custody) for an order that he might be brought
up, so as to be in Court when the pending motion in this
case was made. The Learned Counsel believed that M.
Clarke's ground was, that he was not in circumstances to
enable him to employ a solicitor, and that the nature of
the motion was to affect him. Such an order had been
made by the Court.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had been instructed to make
the motion alluded to. He could not make it to-day, but,
barring all accidents, he had no objection to say that he
should make it on the next seal.

His LORDSHIP ordered the prisoner to be brought up
on that day.

MEDWAY RIVER COMPANY V. CHRISTIE.

In this case, upon a bill filed by the plaintiffs, praying
that they might be protected in their peaceable navigation
upon certain parts of the river Medway, the Vice-Chan-
cellor directed an issue to be tried ; it was ti ied before
Chief Justice Tindal; the case was brought again before
his Honour, who was pleased to direct another trial to
take place, and
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved to-day that such
order, directing a second trial, might be set aside.

The LORD Citik wcELto it intimated that he could nol
sit later than two o'clock.

STATUE OF THE LATE LORD ERSKINE.

At the foot of the Hall there has been placed, since the
Court last sat here, a statue of the late Lord Erskine.
His Lordship is represented of full length, placed upon a
pillar nearly five feet high ; the whole is of white tnaride.
He is fac;ng the Bench, with a scroll grasped in his right
hand, his arms being carelessly crossed. It is said gene-
rally that the likeness is very strong on viewing him in any
position, but that the side representation is admirable. The
lines of the countenance, the expressive toute ensemble of
the face, and the mode i■ which he is standing, just as if
about to speak, are such as to bring to the recollection of
those who knew him the most lively representation of the
individual, when performing the active duties of life.
The folds of the drapery, which seems loosely thrown
around him, are exquisite. On the front of the pillar on
which he stands is inscribed—

" THOMAS LORD ERSKINE,
" MDCCCXXX."

The sculptor is Mr. Richard Westmacott, R.A. It is
said to have cost two thousand three hundred guineas ;
and that this has been privately subscribed, principally by
banisters. It was intended, in the first instance, to have
placed the statue in the new square, Lincoln's-inn, but
the benchers were pleased to allow his Lordship to have
standing room within the hall.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
LIABILITY OF COACH-OFFICE PROPRIETORS.

BURGHART V. SLARIC.

This was an action to obtain compensation in damages
from the defendant, for neglecting to forward a parcel
according to direction sent to his booking-office.
Verdict for plaintiff—Damages 51., and the parcel to
be given up.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

These Sessions commenced this morning before the
Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, COMMON
SERJEANT, and the usual Civic Officers.
The Judges in attendance are Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE
and Mr. Baron VAUGHAN.

ROBBERY OF MADAME VESTRIS.

Thomas Garland, aged 17, was indicted for stealing
in the dwelling-house of Eliza Lucy Vestris, on the 28th
of April last, two rings value 101., six sovereigns, and
three 101. Bank of England notes, her property, and
Charles Garland (his brother) aged 20, was charged
with receiving the same, well knowing them to have been
stolen. The prisoners are two respectable looking young
men, and appeared much dejected during the trial.
Madame Vestris (whose uppearence in the witness-box
seemed to excite the general attention of all persons in
Court) stated that she lived in Curzon-street, May-fair.
The prisoner, Thomas Garland, was in her service. On
the morning of the 28th of April he accompanied her to
Drury-lane theatre. Witness went in ber carriage. On
arriving at the theatre, she desired the prisoner to go
home and bring her a black veil and a basket that was on
the table. The prisoner, however, never returned with
the things. The carriage came for her according to her
directions about four o'clock ; the prisoner, however, did
not come with it, and on her arrival at home she found
be bad gone away, and taken with him the property named
in the indictment. Other property not named in the in-
dictment was also missing. Six sovereigns was the amount
named in the indictment, but she was quite unable to say
the exact value of the purse and its contents. Madame
Vestris further stated, she bad a short time previous to
the robbery received the three ten pound notes from her
bankers.

Janes Avis, a police officer, produced some of the pro-
perty lost by the prosecutrix.

Robert Henry Lamb, a clerk to a banking-house in Pall-
Mall, deposed to the dates and numbers of the notes
given in exchange for Madame Vestris's cheque.
Mr. Green stated, that he lived on Newington Cause-
way, he was a hatter ; he knew both the prisoners, one of
them came to his shop the day after the robbery and per-
chased a hat, for which he gave twenty-five shillings, in
payment for which he tendered a 101. note, and witness
gave him the change; the note corresponded with the
date and number of one of those lost by Madame Vestrig.
A pawnbroker stited, that Charles Garland pledged
part of the stolen property with him, the prisoner gave the
name of James Lee.

James Avis, the officer, was recalled. He stated, that
when he saw the prisoners on the 10th May, he
asked Thomas Garland what he had done with
Madame Vestris's gold rings set with pearls and eme-
ralds, he replied that he had lost them out of h s
pocket. Witness then asked him what he had done wit h
the black veil, he said that was pawned for ten shilling, 9
in the Old Kent-road, and that he had thrown the dupli
cate and also the purse away some where in that neigh.
bourhood. He told witness that the purse contained three
101. notes, six sovereigns, and some silver. He also said
that he changed the notes through the medium of a porter,
to whom he gave a fictitious name. Witness never told
him it would be better for him to confess; it was quite
voluntary on his part.

Several letters that were found upon the prisoner were
put in and read, they did not however throw any addi-
tional light on the transaction.

A clerk, from the Bank of England, produced the three
101. notes, which were paid into the Bank a short time
after the robbery. _

Peter Hayes said the veil was pledged with him on the
29th of April by the prisoner Charles Garland.
_ _

Madame Vtstris was recalled, and identified the ring
now produced as part of the property which she lost on
the 28th of April. She believes the notes are the same,
but as she did not put any mirks upon them, she could
not positively swear to their identity. The ring cost her
fifteen pounds. This was the case for the prosecution.
The prisoners declined saying any thing in their defence.
Thomas Garland received a good character from two
persons with whom lie had lived as servant. The other
prisoner called no witnesses to character.
_ _

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE recapitulated the evidence,
and the Jury, after consulting for some time in the box,
returned a verdict of Guilty against Thomas Garland, and
acquitted Charles Garland.

The prisoners were then put on their trial on a second
indictment, charging the one with stealing a black lace
veil, ♦alue 61., and the other with receiving it, the
property of Eliza Lucy Vostris. The evidence in this
case was of a precisely similar nature to that adduced on
the first indictment, and the Jury returned a similar
verdict, fading the prisoner Thomas Garland guilty of
stealing, but acquitting his brother Charles.
Amelia Anderson, aged 16, was capitally indicted for
breaking and entering the dwelling house of Sarah Ann
Harris, and stealing ten silver spoons and other articles,
value 101. her property.
The prisoner, a good looking young woman, was found
guilty of stealing in a dwelling house under the value of
51., which removes the capital part of the charge.
