LAW-THIS D.Y.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
IN RE MARY STOCKLEY.

Dr. Spinks applied for letters of administration to goods
of Mary Stockley, on the part of the executors of her father,
next of kin. Mary Stockley was living in the year 1844,
and in the following year, 1845, she disappeared in a very
singular manner. She was seen by her brother walking
one evening in that year with a strange man, but since that
time down to the present not the slightest clue as to whether
she was alive or dead could be obt;ined,
The Judge Ordinary—You apply on the part of her
father's executors.

Dr. Spinks said that was so; and his present application
was that she might be declared to have died intestate.
Advertisements had been inserted in a variety of newspapers
without the slightest effect. _ _

The Judge Cirdinary granted the application, as if the
person was living the probability was that she was married.
lie thought the learned counsel had a perfect right to assume
that Mary Stockley was dead.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.)

THE DANK OF DEPOSIT AGAIN.-DAVIES V. THE NATIONAL
ASSURANCE AND INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages laid at
£2,000, in conseqUence of defendants not having repaid
certain moneys advanced by the plaintiff.
Mr. Ogle said be understood it was the custom only to
keep one jury in atten lance, and as this case was of some
considerable importance and interest ha would wish to ask
whether any gentleman in the jury-box was a shareholder
or creditor, or in any way interested in the company; if so,
he would suggest that they should leave the box and at
once retire, and let some other gentleman be sworn.
The learned Secondary—lt is a very fair and proper in-
quiry to make.
All the jury having declared that they had no interest in
the company—(a laugh)—the case was called.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A. DETERMINED PROSECUTRIX.—JuIia, Arundel, a well-
known thief, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being
concerned in picking the pocket of Ellen Murray, a respec •
table-looking young woman, servant, at 8, Lonsdale-villas,
Westbourne-grove.

Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner.

The proseeutrix said while waiting at the corner of Bird
street, Oxford-street, in consequence of a large crowd pass-
ing, a man put his hand into her pocket and took out her
purse containing a sovereign and a half in gold and some
silver. She caught hold of the man's other arm, and he then
passed something to the prisoner, who was close to him.
He then got from her and escaped, but she was determined
not to let the prisoner go, and walked her off to the station,
not seeing a constable. On the way to the station the pri-
soner tried to get away, but she kept held of her.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, gave the prisoner a very bad charac-
ter, and said she had been charged over and over again
with felony, and she had lived with a man who had been
transported.
The prisoner was remanded fora week.
