LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS' COURT, FEB. 9.
THE SKINNERS' COMPANY U. THE IRISH SOCIETY

This important case was not finished yestc.rda7l:l3e n we
went to press. It is expected it will occupy six or seven days
in argument; and the result is-10,21(ed to with great anxiety by
all parties.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, FEB. 9.
POOLE V. lIENEAGE.

This was an action for trespass and' false imprisonment.
The plaintiff carried on the business of a greengrocer and
salesman in Covent-garden market, and the defendant was a
gentleman of fortune, residing rear Berkeley-square. The
plaintiff had been in the habit of supplying, the defendant with
fruits and other things in the way of his 'business, and a bill
having been incurred the plaintiff applied at the regular time
for payment. The defendant, on looking over the bill, in-
sisted that there had been a miscalculation of 41. in the amount,
and sent it back to be corrected. The plaintiff denied that
there was any miscalculation, and a dispute arose between the
parties. The plaintiff accused the defendant of having in-
sulted his wife, and of having called him a dirty, cheating
rascal; and the defendant accused the plaintiff of having
called him a liar and a scoundrel. While in this humour
with each other, the defendant saw a policemen, named James
Todd, and desired him to take the plaintiff into custody.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 15/.

SIMMON V. SIMMONDS AND ANOTIIF.R.

Sir F. Pot.Locie. stated that the plaintiff was a member of
the medical profession, and the defendants were the proprietors
of the Dorset County Chronicle. The plaintiff was a
foreigner, who had been domiciled in this country for a great
many years. He had received his medical education in
Dublin, and he afterwards became an admitted member of the
Po) al College of Surgeons in London. He had now been in
practice for several years. He was engaged in delivering a
course of lectures in the autumn of last year, when, by some
means or other, he had the misfortune to attraet the attention
of some of the persons connected with the newspaper, and
shortly afterwards a paragraph appeared in it, holding him up
in a ridiculous and odious light, and reflecting on his capacity
and character. It was impossible for him to permit a para-
graph of this sort to pass without notice, and he therefore
brought this action.
Mr. BARSTOW, for the defendants, said that the defendants
Qxpressed their regret at what had occurred in the most can-
did manner, and entirely independent of any legal proceedings
which had been taken.
A verdict for 40s. was then taken.

COURT OP BANRUPTCY, FEB. 9.
WARWICK AND CLAGGETT'S BANKRUPTCY.
A meeting of the creditors under the estate of Mr. Warwick,
one of the partners in the extensive American firm, the
failure of which took place during the late commercial panic,
was held to-day, for the proof of debts and the declaration o f
a further dividend.
A claim was tendered by Mr. Wilkinson for 10,000/. on a
bill of exchange, but as lie made his election against the joint
estate the consideration of the question was adjourned until
the next meeting under the general partnership.
Mr. Montague appeared in support of a claim made on be-
half of Messrs. Lizardi and Co., merchants in London, for
10,000/. on bills of exchange which they had purchased in
the market. The claim was made against the separate estate
of Mr. Warwick, and objected to by Mr. Freslifield, the so-
licitor to the fiat.
Mr. Freshfield submitted that the claim could not be al-
lowed against the separate estate, as the bills were accepted by
the firm and reached this country after Mr. Warwick had joined
Mr. Claggett.
The Commissioner considered the acceptance as by the joint
estate, and the claim could not, therefore, be made against the
separate estate of Mr. Warwick.
An application was made on behalf of merchants at Liver-
pool to claim on the separate estate for bills accepted by
Warwick and Co.
The Commissioner said he should adhere to his former de-
cision, and not allow such claims to be admitted against the
separate estate.
Mr. Sweet had to call the attention of the Court to two
large claims, one for 10,000/., and the other for 32,000/., the
admission of which had been postponed at a previous meeting.
The whole of the bills had not yet been received, only about
9,0001. having been remitted, and he (Mr. Sweet) asked for
further time to obtain the whole amount.
The Commissioners granted further time for this purpose.
The total proofs against the separate estate of Mr. War-
wick was about 40,000/. rr he present assets are 11,0001., and
a dividend of five shillings in the pound was ordered to he
paid, subject to the reservation of a sum to meet the claim of
Messrs. Lizardi and Co., should the Court of Review reverse
the decision of the Learned Commissioner. The amount of
the dividend now ordered to be paid on the separate estate of
Mr. Warwick is 7s. 6d. in the pound.

MISS MARTINEAU'S RETROSPECT OF WESTERN'
TRAVEL—Miss Martineau's new work under this title is evert
more interesting to the general reader than her first admirable
production on America. There is a freshness, a vivacity, a
single-mindedness, if we may use that word, abut Miss Mar-
tineau's descriptions most perfectly delightful; upon every-
thing she writes, whether she is sketching scenery, society, or
individual manners, we find stamped a strength of purpose,
and high and moral tone, which give to such description s more
than a transitory value. The present work may be regarded.
as the personal narrative of Miss Martin,eau's travels in Ame-
rica, and it is one of high character.--Lxamtner. •
