LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 15.
PERRY V. MITCHELL.
This was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted by
the Vice-Chancellor, to restrain the defendant, a manuf.►c-
turer, living in Newhall-street, Birmingham, from making
or vending any metal pens such as those for which the plain-
tiff claimed to have a patent. Perry, being in Paris in 1833,
discovered that pens were there sold under the name of
" Anti-patent Peruvian, of precisely the same form and
manufacture as his own " Patent Perryan." Being con-.
vinced, on inquiry, that these pens were made in Birmingham,
as well as his oWn, he directed inquiries to be made, and
traced the manufacture to the defendant, against whom he
accordingly obtained an exparte injunction, which was after-
wards sustained at the hearing.
Mr. JACOB now moved to dissolve this injunction. on the
well-known and reconised principle of a Court of Equity,
that a plaintiff, in obtaining an injunction, was lnuncl not to
keep back from the knowledge of the Court any part of the
facts of the case on which he grounded his claim for the in-
terference of the Coort.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, without saying anything
of the patent rights of the plaintiff, or without prejudice
to any other proceeding lie might adopt, the injunction
he had obtained must be dissolved, and dissolved with
costs—that was, with the costs of the application in the
Court below.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Djc. 15.
ARMSTRONG V. CROMWELL.

Mr. Sergeant BONIPAS stated that this was an action
brought to recover a very small sum of money—the sum of
6!. 16s. 10d., for the board and lodging, for four weeks, of
the defendant's wife. The defendant had pleaded—first,
non assunzpsit ; secondly, that the board and lodging were
furnished to the wife without the request of the defendant ;
and that the wife had committed adultery with one John
M'Leod, and that she left the residence of the defendant,
and had since continued to live in adultery. The plaintiff,
by his replication, denied the truth of this plea. It was
clear that by law the defendant was liable to pay for the
necessaries furnished to his wife, if he himself did not sup-
ply her with them, until that liability should be put an end
to by her committing an act of adultery. The Jury would
-see, therefore, that, small as Was the sum now sought to
be recovered, the inquiry involved a question of a most se-
rious and painful nature. Upon it depended the fame and
character tot only of Mrs. Cromwell, but of the gentle-
man who were named in the plea as having committed adul-
tery with her. The defendant was a teacher of music, and
he and his wife lived together in Southampton for some
time after their marriage. At length, however, the defen-
dant thought fit to separate himself from his wife ; he turned
her out of doors ; he left her scarcely any money to pro-
vide herself with necessaries ; and after some time she came
to the house of the plaintiff, a respectable tradesman of
London, who knew nothing of either of the parties. In
his house she engaged apartments, and in his house she in-
curred a debt of 61. 16s. 10d. The plaintiff, having ap-
plied to her husband for the money, was met by a refusal
to pay, and was forced to bring the present action to re-
cover the amount.

After hearing the facts of the case, the Jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 61. 16s. 10d.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 15.
DEVAS AND ANOTHER V. MAY AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought by the assignees of Messrs.
Bowring and Garrard, bankrupts, to recover 1,120/., the
alleged value of certain goods sold by the bankrupts, a
short time previous to their bankruptcy, to the present
defendants. The bankrupts had been linen-drapers in Ex-
mouth-street, Spa-fields,, and the defendants carried on the
same trade at Whiteebapel . Messrs. Bowring and Garrard
became bankrupts on the Ist of December, 1835, and is
October and November previous large quantities- of goods,
consisting of French merinos, silks, shawls, and other articles
in the trade, were conveyed to the house of Mr. Kirky, then
shopman to the bankrupt, in Goswell-street, from Ex-
mouth-street, where the bankrupt's shop was situated, and
they ware sold by him to the defendants at 25 per cent.
below the cost price. In November the goods were re
moved from Mr. Kirby's lodgings to the premises of the
defendants, and shortly afterwards the bankruptcy took
.place. The assignees having learnt of this transaction, insti-
tuted an investigation into the facts of the case, and Mr.
May -one of the present defendants, was examined before
the Commissioners. Upon that examination Mr. May de-
nied that he had known that the goods in question were the
property of the bankrupts, and stated that he had dealt
with Mr. Kirby according to the ordinary course of busi-
ness, and had paid a fair price for the goods which he re-
ceived. He,refused also to acknowledge any liability for
the value of those goods, and the assignees accordingly
brought the present action on behalf on the bankrupt's estate.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury
returned a verdio for the plaintiff—Damages 930/.
BRUNTON V. FURNIVALL.
Thi4 was an action brought by William Brunton, the sur-
viving partner of John Brunton, against Mr. Furnivall, for
10,606/. Os. 6(1., the value of goods delivered and for work
done. The plaintiff was a considerable iron-manufacturer
in the Commercial-road, and the defendant was a gentle-
man who had speculated in a salt mine in Cheshire. The
goods consisted chiefly of ironwork for the mine. On be-
half of the plaintiff a variety of letters, written by the de-
fendant, were produced, in which the present claim was
admitted. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for
the full amount.

ARCHES COURT—DEc. 15.
BULLY V. BULLY.
This cause, which is a suit for divorce, on the grounds
of adultery, promoted by the husband against the wife,
came on for judgment this day.
The Learned JUDGE, as the crime of which Mrs. Bully
was accused had been so clearly proved, had no hesitation
in pronouncing sentence as had been prayed for by the
parties promoting the suit.

" This paper is chosen out from many others from people
whom I could hang. They pretend that it is not in Wood's
hand. They want to swindle me, or something to tl.at
effect." It was incumbent, then, on the parties offering
this allegation, to prove that this is the hand-writing of Mr.
Wood.

The defendants appealed against a conviction for endea-
vouring to force Charles Coleman to depart from his em•
ploy as a carpenter in the service of Mr. Peter Robins, a
master carpenter, in Molyneux-street, Edgware-road. Tir
defendants had been adjudged by William Shutt and
liam Hoskins, Esq., magistrates at Marylebone Office, to
suffer, the one imprisonment of one month, and the other
for 14 days.
After hearing evidence, the CHAIRMAN said the convic-
tion must be confirmed.

The defendants were then remanded to prison.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of
this office, applied to the Magistrates for their advice
under the following extraordinary circumstances. About
week since he received a letter that a robbery was in-
tended to be committed at his house. He paid little or
no attention to the circumstance, conceiving it to be a
joke ; but on Wednesday night last, after the family had
retired to rest, they were awoke out of their sleep by a noise.
He immediately got out of bed, and proceeding down stairs
he found that some thieves had forced open the door, and
had entered the house ; but, being alarmed, they made their
escape. Yesterday morning he received another letter, evi-
dently written by some low fellow, stating that although theY
had not succeeded in their design it was the determination
of the gang to plunder the house at some future period, and
to beware. The circumstance had placed him and his fa-
mily in the utmost excitement, and he determined on
making the present application.
Mr. LAING told him that he could do nothing in the ease,
but advised him to consult with one of the officers, and be
quitted the Court with Bayliss the officer, for the purp?se of
adopting the best means to trace and apprehend the thieves.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—A Court of
Common Council was held yesterday, at which a petition
was presented from several citizens, in favour of the Gres-

School. Dr. I3irkbeck was heard in support of the pet'
tion, which was referred to a Committee. The Chamber-
lain delivered in a return of the expences incurred by the
City for the enlarging Smithfield-market, and on proceed-
ings in Parliament respecting the same for the last thirty
years. The Market Committee brought forward a Report
on that subject, in which they recommended the Court to
purchase a freehold estate, on the North side of Long-100,"
at the sum of 15,750/., being the amount agreedtue
same appearing to them very suitable for the purpose 0f
the market, and for their being empowered to take Writ
sures for paving, lighting, and opening the same,
which was agreed to, and the Committee empowered to ta"e
steps accordingly.
