EFFECTS OF FROST.—A rernar:mble instance
of the effect of severe frost on iron occurred at the
Ordnance-wharf Chatham, on Saturday. During the day
a party of convicts were employed in removing a number of
the large 10-inch guns from one part of the establish-
ment to another, in readiness for embarkation. In order
to facilitate the operation the large steam crane was brought
into requisition to lift the guns, but scarcely had one of the
10-inch guns, weighing 95 cwt„ been attached to the gear
than the massive chain which held it suddenly snapped
Jast as the cannon was only a few feet from the ground.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(this Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.)
PETITION FOR JUDGMENT.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(771i8 Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. "

15i i i

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—This is an appli-
cation by petitions of two children to have the shares which
it was intended that they should become entitled to in cer-
tain funds of the residuary estate of the testator, subject to
the life interest of their mother, paid out to them with the
assent of the mother, to enable them to enter into business,
as they had now attained the age of 21 years. The testa-
tor, John Wilkes Berry, by his will, in July, 1840, gave
the whole residue of his property, real and personal, to
trustees in trust, to convert and stand possessed of certain
annuities, and to invest the residue and to hold the residue
in trust to pay the dividends and interest thereof to his wife
for life, to be expended in the maintenance of herself and
his six legitimate and illegitimate children, and any other
children afterwards born. A posthumous child was after-
wards born. The residue of the testator's estate amounted
to £3,353, 3 per Cent.. Consols, standing to the credit of the
estate. Edward and John Brook Berry, two sans of the
testator, on attaining the age of 21, were desirous that the
two-sevenths share of the residue should be paid to them to
enable them to enter into business, and petitioned accord-
ingly. His Honour the Vice Chancellor, on considering
the case of Knight v. Knight, decided by himself
and followed by the Master of the Rolls, where
the question then raised was whether the period
of distribution was the dissolution of the marriage
by death, or on the children attaining the age of 21.
His Honour held that the survivorship related to attaining
the age of 21. A case was cited on the other side, reported
in vol. 8 of Pe Gex, Macnaughten, and Gordon, p. 156,
but that case was different from the present. His Honour
the Vice-Chancellor, considering that the residue was
small, and given by the testator for the maintenance of his
widow and children, with the benefit of survivor ship, could
make no order for the payment of two-sevenths of the resi-
due, the two shares of the petitioners, as two sons of the
testator, but if they would undertake to pay £lO yearly to
their mother, and state that the money was required to
enable them to enter into business, and allow the residue
and survivorships to remain as a security for the money
received, his Honour would allow £5O to each to be paid
out of the stock, if they agreed to it ; if not, the petition
would stand dismissed. Costs to be paid out of the funds.

ANNOYING A. TRIDEMLN.—Andrew Blair, a tailor, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with annoying Mr. William
Churton, hosier, of 92, Oxford-street.
The prisoner yesterday evening knocked loudly at Mr.
Churton's private door, and on it being opened he forced
himself in, and demanded to be supplied with liquor, and it
was with great difficulty he was expelled. Seeing that hi
was in liquor, Mr. Churton, to prevent a repetition of his
conduct, sent for a constable (Pratt, 311 A), when the pri-
soner made an infamous imputation against the character
of Mr. Churton's house, and struck the constable two or
three times, and behaved very violently on the way to the
station.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 205., or fourteen days.
SNOWEALLING.—AIfred Rogers and Frederick Cooper,
two boys. were charged with snowballing, and breaking
a pane of glass in the shop window of Mr. Marshall, oil-
man, Great Pulteney-street.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, of er cautioning the boys, fined them Is.
each, and ordered them to pay the damage.
