LAW lIV TELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
JUDGMENT.-TILDESLEY V. CLARKSON.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The plaintiff
asks specific performance of an agreement entered into on
the 20th June, 1860, by which the defendant agreed to take
a lease of Clifton House, Clifton-gardens, Maida-hill, for
7, 14, or 21 years, at a rent of £2OO for the first three years,
and £220 for every other. The ground was a grant by the
Bishop of London, and the defendant took possession on
the 29th December, 1860, but objected that the house was
in an unfurnished state, and required more repairs annu-
ally than was incumbent on him as a tenant to bear the ex-
pense of. His Honour, on considering the affidavits pro-
duced, and having personally inspected the house, and
taken the opinion of experienced architects and builders
thereon, came to the conclusion that he could not enforce
specific performance of the agreement. His honour dis-
missed the plaintiff's bill, with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(nis Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING A VALUABLE OIL PAINTING.—Mary Ann
Connolly, pianist, residing at 377, Strand, was charged
before Mr. Tyrw hitt with stealing an oil painting and
frame, of the value of £4O, the property of Mr. Alfred
Gritten, picture dealer, of 30, Gerrard-street, Soho.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap
peared for the prisoner.
Mr. Gritten said he took two rooms at No. 30, Gerrard-
street, Soho (of which house the prisoner was the landlady)
to place some pictures in, he being a dealer in pictures, and
among them was the one named in the present charge, re-
presenting the " Virgin and Child," being a painting after
Rubens. They were all taken to the prisoner's house on
the 2d of December. A few days after he went to the
houSe to get another painting to send to a gentleman, and,
as he could not find it, this led him to examine the pictures
more carefully, and then he found the painting of the
" Virgin and Child" was also gone. He placed the matter
in the hands of the police, and nothing more was heard of
the matter till Saturday afternoon, when happening to pass
along Princes-street, he saw by accident the painting in a
dealer's window. He asked the assistant what it was, and
he said he did not know, and that Mr. Adams had only had
it a fortnight.

(Here the accused fell down in the dock in a fit and, was
carried out of court.]

Mr. Lewis said she was subject to epileptic fits.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case should stand back for half-
an-hour, and on the case being resumed,
Some evidence was given of pictures being pledged by
the prisoner's orders, and she was remanded.
