LAW IIV TELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
PETITION BY ORDER-JUDGMENT-IN RE CHERRY'S
SETTLED ESTATES.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Kinderaley.
The Lord Chancellor on considering the Act of the 3d
and 4th of the Queen, was of opinion that the money paya-
ble by the Commissioners for Public Works was under that
Act, and not under the 9th and 10th of the Queen, nor the
Land Clauses Consolidation Act, and that no money was
payable under these last mentioned acts for public works.
The Lord Chancellor reversed the order of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and allowed the appeal.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
HEPSWORTH V. HILL-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This suit was
instituted for the purpose of having it determined whether
the sum of £t,Boo, bequeathed by the will of the late Wm.
Townsend, was payable out cf the real or personal estate
of the testator, in so far as it can be traced, or payable out
of the personal estate of Wm. Hepsworth, deceased, or out
of the real estate belonging to him as devisee. The testa-
tor, by his will, bequeathed £4,800 to his grand niece, Eliza-
beth Hepsworth, whom failing, to Wm. Francis Hepsworth,
his grand nephew. A sum of £16,000 was charged on his
real estate, and the question raised was, whether this sum
of £4,800 was payable out of the real estate in the event of
the personal estate not being found sufficient to pay it.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls, on considering the
words in which the bequest was given, and taking a retro-
spective view of the proceedings of the devisees and lega-
tees in the several deeds executed by them after the decease
of the testator, was of opinion that the legatees were not
liable by any acts or deeds done on their part to pay this
legacy, but if it could be traced to the assets of the
testator his personal estate would be liable, or if
there was any reversion of the personal estate
remaining the personal estate would be liable to pay this
legacy, and-in the event of there being no personal estate
remaining, the real estate was liable to pay this legacy of
£4,800. His Honour decreed that the real and personal
estate of the testator was liable to pay this legacy of £4,800,
and £BOO interest. Costs of suit to be added to this charge.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE?—(This Day.)

A PICKPOCKET AT THE HA.NOVER-SQUA.EE ROOMS.—
John Murphy, a smart looking lad, was charged by Daw-
son, 301 A, with being in possession of two purses, believed
to be stolen from visitors to the Shoeblack Boys' treat at
the Hanover-square Rooms, the previous evening.
Henry Dawson, 301 A, said that on the previous even-
ing as the company were leaving the rooms he heard a lady
say, " That man had his hand in my pocket," and while
asking the lady if she would charge him, Mr. Bodkin, the
assistant-judge, came up and told her to charge him, but
she refused. On searching the prisoner he found two
purses on him, but the lady could not identify either of
them, and the prisoner could not tell how much there was
in either, although he said they both belonged to himself,
and that he had visited the rooms, as he felt a deep interest
in the boys' welfare. The lady gave the name of Miss C.
Madwell, 23, Gloucester-street, Bloomsbury, but ho had
found that address incorrect.

Prisoner made no answer to the charge, and walked out
of the dock with the air of one well used to the practices of
police courts, upon Mr. Yardley remanding him for a week.
Great inconvenience is frequently felt by persons having
business at this court by the proceedings not commencing
till one hour after the usual time, prosecutors, witnesses,
&c., being unnecessarily kept waiting. To professional
gentlemen the delay is still more annoying.

Our market is fairly supplied with fruit, for the time o
year, and the show of most descriptions of vegetable is rather
large. Generally speaking the trade was inactive, at the
