LA IV .I2V TELLIG.ENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)
NEALE V. NEWMAN.

This was a testamentary suit instituted by the plaintiff
to prove the will of Robert Newman, a coalheaver, who
died in Stepney on the 12th December last, which was die.
puted by the brother of the deceased, who pleaded that
the will was not duly executed, and that the testator was
of unsound mind.

From the evidence it appeared that the testator died of
consumption at the age of 53, leaving property to the value
of about £BO to his niece. The medical man and other wit-
nesses proved that the testator was in a sound•state of mind
when the instrument was signed. •
The brother of the deceased, however, said the will
sought to be proved differed essentially from that he had
read soon after his brother's death, The legacies were
quite of a different nature.

The Court were of opinion that the will sought to be
proved was a genuine document.

The Judge-Ordinary then pronounced in favour of the
will, and commented in severe terms upon the audacity of
the brother in coming into court to contest the will. He
immersed him in the costs of the suit.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DEFRAUDING A LADY.—Margaret Dent, a respectably-
attired female, described as a laundress, but who refused her
address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining
by false representations money from Lady Caroline Neeld,
of 26, Upper Brook-street.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Lady Caroline Neeld, on being sworn, said, yesterday the
prisoner was shown up to me by my servant, when she said
she was a widow, with two children, and that she was sent
to me by Mr. Hare, the clergyman of the district, for assist-
ance, at the same time stating that Mr. Hare had had a
a letter from his wife stating that she was ill. I did not
believe her statement, and then remembered that she had
been to me last year, saying that Mr. Hare had just gone
abroad, and that being his domestic servant, he had told
her to call on me. lat that time gave her tI, and I have
not seen her again till the second visit yesterday. At that
time the prisoner gave an address I could not find.
At her first visit she said her mother had been pew-opener
at St. Mark's. Knowing that she was an impostor I gave
her in charge, first having given her 2s.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Lady Caroline Neeld said—_
I parted with the £2 believing then that she wa4 sent by
Mr. Hare, and that she was, as she said, going into the
hospital. I told her that if she went into the hospital, I
would see after her children.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tnis DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at a few minutes after 12
o'clock.

The Rev. Joseph Watson Hare, of St. Mark's, said—l
never gave the prisoner any authority to go to Lady Caro-
line Neeld's, and never saw her before. I have heard that
she has been to other parishioners, and Lady Manners.
King, 76 D, said—l was sent to Lady Caroline Neeld's.
I charged the prisoner with obtaining money by false pre-
tences, and she said she had only gone there to get a letter
for the hospital, as her chest was bad.
Lady Caroline Neeld—She never said a word about the
hospital yesterday.
King—She told me that she was a widow with two
children, and since she has told me that the children are
dead. .

Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)—l am afraid you have
been some time carrying on this system.
Prisoner—l never got the two sovereigns.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand you for a week.
Mr. Hare said he should not be able to attend, as he was
going abroad.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then she will have to be discharged. I
cannot help it.
Lady Caroline Neeld—l think it a pity that such an im-
poster should escape, after I have done my duty in coming
forward to protect the public.
