EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco )
The Court was occupied during the whole morning in
hearing [notions of course, all of them involving more or less
points of practice in pleading, and no:,e of them possessing
any feature of general interest.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice WILLIE,
and Justices COLTMAN, MAULS, and CRLINWELL )
BARBER V. TOMLYN.

Mr. OGLE said he had toshow cause against a rule obtained
on the 19th of April by Mr. Sergeant Byles, calling on the
plaintiff to show cause why a warrant of attorney, given as
a security for payment of the consideration money of an
annuity, and the execution thereupon, should not be
set aside, on the ground, amongst others, that
one-half of the consideration money was improperly
paid. The rule was obtained on an affidavit which
stated that so long ago as 1838 an application was made by
Mr. Tomlyn, the present defendant, who is an attorney, for
the loan of 170/. ; and the material point on which Mr. Ser-
geant Byles had relied, in support of his application, was that
the name of Miss Barber, the present plaintiff, had been used
colourably only.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES said he would waive that point.
Mr. OczE said, then the sole question was, as to whether
the consideration was or was not retained by the parties. He
proceeded to show, by reading the affidavits on the part
of the plaintiff, that the deed of annuity in
question was dated on the 3d October, 1838, and that the
consideration money, 1701., was paid in Bank of England
notes.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES contended that the affidavits on the
part of the defendant went to show that on payment of the
consideration money for the annuity, 201. was kept back to
discharge a bill of exchange due from Mr. Tomlyn, together
with 81. odd for certain costs.

•
The COURT were unanimously of opinion that the rule
should be discharged.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Patrick Hay and James Alves, who were remanded last
Tuesday upon the charge of conspiring to defraud the Rev.
Mr. Gr►ff'in, of six hundred pounds, under the pretence of
procuring for him, through Lord John Hay, the office of
Chaplain to her Majesty. were this day finally ex-
amined and committed for trial, with a detainer
against Hay for obtaining 1201. upon false pretence.
Witnesses were examined to establish a con-
nexion between the two prisoners at the offices in Cannon-
row, from which the correspondence with Mr. Griffin was
carried on; and Lord John Hay was also examined, and de-
posed that he had never before this morning seen the prisoner
Hay, nor had he ever negotiated with him or any other per-
son for the sale of an appointment under the Crown.

MARLBRO'-STREET--( THIS DAY.)
TILE SELF-STYLED COUNTESS OF CARLlSLE.—Charlotte
JVetherelt, who assumes the title of Countess of Carlisle,
and whose previous examinations have been given at full
length in this journal, was brought up before Mr. Bingham,
for the purpose of being examined touching her alleged in-
sanity, in order to her being passed to a lunatic asylum.
Mr. Griffiths, clerk to the board of guardians of the pa-
rish of St. Martin's, with Dr. Cross, the parochial surgeon,
was in attendance. It appeared that the case was adjourned
on the last occasion in order to produce medical testi-
mony as the woman's insanity. Dr. Cross being the
medical man of the parish could not, according to the Act of
Parliament, testify alone to these facts. The case was there-
fore adjourned for a week, in order to get the opinion of Drs.
Bainbridge and Sutherland, conjointly with that of Dr. Cross.
It is imagined that the defendant's insanity is assumed fur
the sole purpose of raising money, and getting out of the
scrape she has got into by defrauding tradesmen of their
goods. While in court she conducted herself with the
greatest effrontery. She was attired in a black silk dress
with yellow shawl, and wore a common India-rubber garter
on her left arm.

THE WRITS OF ERROR.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.—A day being now specifically
named for the last struggle between the Crown and the
State prisoners, the interest in the issue has begun to
revive here. A variety of statements have been made
with regard to the counsel engaged to conduct the case
of the appellants, but the following, from the Freeman's
Journal, ie believed to be the correct one:—
The counsel for Mr. Smith O'Brien on the occasion
will be Sir Fitzroy Kelly, QC., and Mr. Napier, Q.C.
Sir Colman O'Loghlen will probable be selected to argue
the case on the part of Mr. M'Manus. No writ of error
has been issued in the case of Mr. Meagher or of Mr.
O'Donohoe. The impression generally prevailed that
the gentlemen who appealed to the House of Lords
would be brought to London to be present at the argu
meat; but that supposition was erroneous. They will
remain in Richmond Bridewell pending the disposal of
their cases."

SKINNING CATS ALIVE.—It having been made
known to the committee and secretary of Mark-lane, of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, that several
cats in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn-tields and Red
Lion-square, had been seen alive divested of their skins,
constables were immediately dispatched, and are, we are
happy in saying, still on the watch. Three men, of bad cha-
racter, who trafficked in cats'-skins, residing severally in
Greek-alley and Dudley-street, St. 117 artin's-lane, have ab-
sconded since the interference of the society.
THE WEATHER.—On yesterday week a most agree-
able change took place in the weather here, and we are
glad to observe that it was general over the country.
We passed indeed then from the severity of winter to
the mildness of spring, bringing frequent genial showers,
alternated by warm sunshine. The effects of this change
must be speedily felt on the vegetable world, as well as
in the animal, so far as the lambing season is concerned.
