LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY ♦. THE QUEEN

The Attorr ey-Gen3ral occupied the court the whole of
the morning, when his arguments in this case, which was
brought for the recovery of a large sum of money which the
company say they are en itled to under their contract.
The company undertook to convey the mails twice
a month between Southampton and Sydney for seven
months. A number of voyages had been made, but to the
vessel despatched by the Postmaster-General on F, b. 19, a
delay was occasioned, and the plaintiffs say it was no fault
of theirs. The vessel aught to have arrived on April 17,
but she did not arrive till May 4. There was a clause in
the contract indemnifying the company against loss; and
under that clause the company made a claim for £15,000,
which the Government refused to pay.
The case is entirely devoid of public interest, and ap-
peared likely to occupy the court the whole of the day.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Befo e the Judge Ordinary.)
HAMER V. BRADDICK.
In this case the will of Mr. Hamer, late a publican in the
Edgware. ro ,d, was sought to be established. The testator
made his will, by which he made over the whole of his pro-
perty to Mr. Braddick, who was an inspector in the Metro •
politan Police Force, entirely shutting out his (testator's)
wife from all benefit, and the ground for so doing was that
she was a person of ill-regulated habits. Tho application
was opposed by his wife.

The Cologne Gazette attributes to the King of
Sweden the following words. Having been asked some
weeks ago what assistance Sweden could offer to France in
case of war with Russia, King Charles XV. replied, " Let
two French vessels enter the Baltic and I will be there with
100 000 men."
