FREEMEN'S ADMISSION BILL.

Mr. WILLIAMS moved the second reading of this Bill.
Mr. THOR NELY objected to pressing the second reading of the Bill
at so late an hour. If the Hon. Member persevered in his motion he
should oppose it, and would move that the Bill be read a second time
this day.
After a short conversation the gallery was cleared fora division ;
bu
on our re-admission we found that no division had taken place, and 04'
the second reading was postponed to this day.
On proceeding to the next Order of the Day, an Hon. Member moved..
that the House be counted, and there not being forty Members present
the House adjourned at Half-past One o'Clock.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAT 10:

TURNER V. TURNER.
which
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case,
came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour' the,
Vice-Chancellor. The testator in the cause, Mr. Turner, had, by
will, given to the defendant a sum of 5001., and the bill was filed by °lle
of his relations for the purpose of having that gift set aside, on the
grotind that the testator, at the time of making the gift, was ineom"
potent to do so on account of his mental faculties being impaired. Up
the case coming before the Vice_Chancellor, his Honour was of opinion
that the testator was of perfectly sane mind, and decreed the gift t° be
valid, and from that decision the present appeal was brou',,l'L 0.,..
„
Lordship considered the judgment of the Vice_Chancellor perfectly
rect, and ordered it to be affirmed, with costs.
BODDINGTON V. WOODLET.
This case came before thc Court also on appeal from the decision or
the Vice_Chancellor, refusing to grant a receiver and consignee uP°ri ,•
plantations in the Wst Ines.
The i
LORD CHANCELLORe di,
without calling upon the appellant's Counsel
to reply, gave judgment, reversing the decision of the Court below.

ADMIRALTY COURT, DUBLIN; 31-4 r

JUDGMENT.
LAURENCE TALLON AND THE OWNERS OP THE HERALD BTEAMSR,
V. THE BARQUE ALEXANDER ROBERTSON.
The Learned `Junta; said, this is an action brought by Laurence
Talton, as master, and by the owners of the steamer the Herald, of
Dublin, against the barque Alexander Robertson, for salvage. The
Alexander Robertson was arrested for this cause of action in the bar-
hour of Kingstown, under the usual process cf this Court, on 200
February last. Upon the filing of the libel a tender of 5001. was regu•-
larly made. The impugnant's vessel, the Alexander Robertson, is g
barque of the burden of SOO tons, and belongs to the port of London'
she is commanded by Leonard Whiteley, and was bound from Live!:
pool, where she completed her cargo, for the port of Alexancl.tettO, 5e
the Levant, I believe a port in Syria, and not far from Aleppo•
cargo is valued at 25,000/. The Herald is a powerful steamer,
longing to a highly respectable and public-spirited Company in tie:
city, the St. George Steam Packet Company. The Learned Judg„,
r..,''
after going through the /acts of the case at considerable length/ au.
verted to the only three cases in which a question of salvage was dete,,,
mined where the salving vessels were steamers, and considered the ea',
of the Duchess of Kent to be very similar to the one before him, althottAg;
with the Duchess of Kent a greater service had been performed• d,
to the case of the Calcutta, it had never been judicially decided, an__:
wearied with the litigation, a compromise was effected. But the 61-101.:
then paid was to be considered as no criterion, and he feared the Prn,
movants had been misled by considering what amount the Lie fentlarti.
chose to give in that case. In his opinion the tender of 5001. W3g su to
ciciit, but not too high, and lie had directed the impugnant's proMr
lodge 751. for the costs.

THE LORDS AND COMmoNs.—The announ c-of
ment of a new series of " The Random Recollections of the Houses,. i_
Lords and Commons" has already created a lively interest in the P:,„tr
cal and literary circles. We understand that the number of genws".s
of both Houses, whose names arc introduced into this new W°l4'.
I:t..
very great—in fact there is scarcely a Peer or Commoner who will i.e.
find something about himself in it. No person who possesses the f°."roor
series, we think, will long remain without the present. The "t -
has now completed his difficult and delicate task.
