LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

JUDGES' CHAMBERS.
;(Before Mr. Justico Montagu Smith.)
IRWIN T. SIR GEORGE GREY, BART.

This cause having been set down for argument for the
Ist day of June, 1865, the defendant applied to have'the
entry struck out with costs on the ground that no month's
notice of plaintiff's intention to proceed had been given.
Mr. Bradley appeared on behalf of the .defendant, and,
in support of the motion, referred to rule 176, H. T. 1853,
requiring a month's notice to bo given before taking a
proceeding.

Mr. Irwin appeared in person, and referred to the
authorities which are cited in Chitty's Archbold, p. 166 ;
Newton and Wife v. Boodle and others ; 3. Com. Bench
Reports, p. 793, May v. Wooding, &c. ; and contended
that the rule did not apply to proceedings after verdict or
after judgment, and, therefore, did not touch the present
case ; that, in fact, a notice, as• appeared by plaintiff's
affidavit, although unnecessary, had actually boon
given on the 18th of February last. Also that
there had been a proceeding before the Judges of
the Court of Exchequer Chamber in the cause, when
counsel appeared on behalf of defendant, so that he could
not have been taken by surprise, which was the object of
the rule. Mr. Irwin also pressed on his lordship that the
object of the defendant was to delay the proceedings and
postpone the hearing -until after the long vacation.
Tho learned judge took time to consider the point, and
deferred giving judgment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

This morning, Donovan, Collins, and the sister of the
first-named prisoner, wore placed at the bar on remand,
charged with violently assaulting a man named Dempsey,
in St. Giles's.

The assault was of the most violent description, and
ever since the occurrence, eight or nine days 'ago,
Dempsey has been in the hospital. This morning the
police-constable in charge of the case said he had been to
the hospital, but the surgeon had informed him that
Dempsey, though improving, could not possibly attend.
Mr. Flower said, that being so, he should again remand
the prisoners.

Mr. Lewis asked that the prisoners might be admitted
to bail.

Mr. Flower, in reply, said the man when first taken to
the hospital was not expected to recover from the injuries
he had sustained, and all the surgeon now said was that
he was going on favourably, but ho did not say there was
no danger. Erysipelas might intervene, and, under these
circumstances, he did not feel justified in accepting bail.
Mr. Lewis said the injured man was a most violent
person, and had been convicted himself, so that he might
be as much to blame as the prisoners in causing tho dis-
turbance. He did not say because a man had a bad cha-
racter that was any reason why he should be killed.
Mr. Flowers said he thought it better that matters should
remain as they stood for the present. The man had been
seriously injured ; how those injuries were inflicted had
yet to be made Down, and, pending that, he should refuse
for the present to admit to bail. When, however, the sur-
geon stated that all danger had ceased ho would not then
object to bail being taken.
_ _ _

The prisoners were then removed from the dock, the
female being allowed to go at liberty on her own recogni-
zances. It appeared, however, that she did not much like
leaving the court, as she said sho was suro sho should be
torn in pieces by the convicts, as she termed the friends of
Dempsey, when she got to her home.

PARK—This Day.
