CRICKET.

Tnn ELEVEN Or ENGLAND V. TWENTY-TWO Or MR-
MINGRAM.—The match was played at Birmingham on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, there being a large
company each day to witness the
`doings,"" and a fine
treat they had in the fielding of the Eleven," of which
the main feature was the admirable and clever play of
C. Tinley, at "point." He made twelve catches--a feat
hitherto unrecoided and, upprecwleateci in the annals of

A WINDFALL.—The late Thomas Spooner, Esq., of
London (who died in 1839), went from Westmoreland,
his native place, when about twenty-one years of age, to
London, where he amassed a very considerable property,
which, on his decease, he disposed of by a somewhat re-
markable will. After bequeathing pecuniary legacies
(amounting to about 25,000/. in the aggregate), and also
certain annuities to relatives, friends, and domestics, and
devising the whole of his real estate to his wife for her
life, he proceeds to say :—" I at present leave my real
estate after the decease of my said wife and the residue
of my personal estate undisposed of." The testator
never made any future disposition thereof ; and, being
himself an only child, and dying without child or
parent, there sprang up at his death a host of
claimants as heirs-at-law and next of kin, and several
of them prosecuted their claims to the residuary per-
sonal estate (about 15,900/.) in the Court of Chan-.
cery. The master's decision was, however, given in
favour of a poor widow named Turner, a client of
our townsman, Mr. Banks, solicitor. The volumi-
nous evidence in the shape of wills, affidavits, pedi-
grees, registers, &c., collected by Mr. Banks, in support
of his client's claim, has been recently made available by
him to support the claims of the two heirs-at-law to the
real estates. The widow of the testator having died
last year, the co-heirs are a devisee of one Richard
Smythes and one John Willan, remote descendants from
two aunts of the testator. They were both, until this
windfall, poor men—the latter, indeed, has for some
time been receiving parochial relief. An issue from the
Court of Chancery was directed to be tried at the recent
Liverpool assizes, for the purpose of testing the relative
merits of the claims• of these two poor men and their
rival, a person bearing the same name as the testator.
The eldim of the two co-heirs seems to have been so well
established that the formality of a trial in court was dis-
pensed with, by their opponent, Spooner consenting (on
the advice of his professional advisers) to a verdict being
entered in favour of Smythe's devisee and Willan, they
giving a conditional promise to pay 1,0001. to Spooner.
Thus these persons become the inheritors of real estates
in several southern counties worth about 50,000L—

COITRT-MARTIALS IN INDlA.—Lieutenan t James Tur-
ner Harris, of the 17th Native Infantry, having recently
been tried by court-martial at Delhi, for drawing bills
of exchange on a bank in which he had no funds, and
which were subsequently dishonoured, was found guilty
and sentenced by the court to be " severely repri-
manded, and to lose three steps in regimental rank."
The commander-in-chief, Sir W. Gomm, requested the
court to revise their decision, but as they " begged re-
spectfully to adhere to their original sentence," the
commander-in-chief has appended to the minutes the
following remarks :—" The commander-in-chief has
confirmed the sentence passed by the court, but it is
one which his Excellency cannot approve, considering
it to be altogether inadequate to the serious offer cos of
which Lieutenant Harris has been justly convicted. In
awarding this sentence, the court have declared to the
army their deliberate opinion that it is a compara-
tively venial offence in one of their body to draw Bills of
Exchange upon a bank in which lie ha, no funds, and to
allow these bills to remain unpaid. His Excelleney en-
tirely differs from the court ; and in publishing these
proceedings, wishes to remind the army, that the honour
of the service to which they belong iR mainly in their
own keeping. Such discreditable proceedings as these
in which Lieut. Harris is proved to have been engaged
are happily of rare occurrence amongst officers ; but
