LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
TUCKER V. HERMAGE.

This was the only suit set down for to-day, and was for
propounding the will of Miss Eliza Caroline Mary Beere,
late of Pimlico, who made her testamentary deposition on
the 26th of August, 1864, and who died the following
month.

Dr. Spinks supported the will, and Mr. Sergeant Ballan-
tine opposed it.
'

When the case was called on Sergeant Ballantine said
that he had arranged with Dr. Spinks that as a great many
private matters, which it was advisable should not be made
public, would transpire if the case was opened, they had
agreed to the payment of a certain sum to the aunt as next
of kin, and that the cost of the proceedings be paid out of
the estate.

Sir J. P. Wilde said he had, from the first, set his face
against ouch private settlements.

Formal proof of the will having been given and no op-
position made, probate was granted as prayed.
Sergeant Ballantine said he had to congratulate his
Lordship on having a light day.

Sir J. P. Wilde said he was very sorry for it, as there
was plenty of work to do.
The court then rose.

In the Court of Common Pleas their Lordships were
occupied the whole of the early part of the day in hearing
the arguments of counsel in a case in which the point at
issue between the sub-inspector and a manufacturer of
crinoline at Sheffield was whether the defendant had in-
fringed the Factory Act. The sub-inspector had stated that
he had seen young people employed on the premises after
the hours set down in the act, while the manufacturer con-
tended that his establishment was not a cotton mill within
the meaning of the statute. _ _

Chappell." How is that, plaintiff ?

THE LINCOLNS
One

Mrs. Felgate—Because she had the money.
Mrs. Chappell—l admit that I had the money, and that
I have paid a good deal of it back, but all this was done
without .the knowledge of my husband.
His Honour—You see, plaintiff, that, like a good wife,
she has protected her husband. I suppose she had a very
good reason for not telling him about this matter, but you
cannot make him liable. You must be nonsuited.
Plaintiff non-suited.

till I was ready. _ _

His Honour—She engaged you for the end of September

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING A BANK NOTE.—Charlotte Edis, a young
woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
£2O Bank of England note, the property of Mr. John Dob-
son, lodging house-keeper, of No. 116, Jermyn-street.
_ . . _ . _

Mr. Dobson said the prisoner had been in his service for
about a month, he receiving a good character with her.
Last Saturday he missed a £2O Bank of England note from
a cash-box kept in a chest of drawers in his bedroom; the
prisoner having left on the previous Monday on the plea
of ill health. The note was safe in the box on the Sunday.
Having traced the note to have been paid into the Bank of
England, he gave information to the police, and last night
saw the prisoner at the station.

Thomas Procter, assistant to a draper in Duke-street,
Manchester-square, said that yesterday week the prisoner
came to his employer's shop and purchased goods to the
amount of £3 75., and paid for them with a £2O note, and
he gave her change, she remarking at the time that she was
suffering from rheumatism.
Police-constable Butcher, 137 C, said from information
he received he went yesterday to Gosberton, in Lincoln-
shire, where the prisoner was on a visit to her friends.
He told her he was an officer from London, and had come
there to take her into custody for stealing a £2O note from
her master, Mr. Dobson, of Jermyn-street. She said she
had not stolen the note, bat picked it up in the house. She
gave him up £5 7s. 6d.
In answer to the magistrate, the prosecutor said the cash
box was locked, but the key was in the drawer.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for the attendance
of the other persons whose hands the note had passed
through.
