CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.)
THE ROYAL ETCHINGS.
PRINCE ALBERT V. STRANGE AND JUDGE.
This Was a moion to set aside an injunction of
4, ice-Chancellor Knight. Bruce, restraining the de-
.
iiclant from publishing certain etchings, cxecutrd by
the
Queen and Prince Albert, and from issuing a cata-
logue of the same.
it Will be within the recollection of our readers, that
the Vice Chancellor decided a few days ago, in favour
01 the retention of the injunction, leaving the question
1)f costs to be argued on a future OcCuion.
t, SIT. RUSSELL, with whom were Mr. Warren, and Mr.
addrFssed the Court at great length in support
of the renewal of the injunction, in the course of which
be mentioned the grounds on which he offered the in-
iltnction in the lower court. ID brief, be held that there
*as no indication of any private right, and that the
drawings had come into the hands of Mr. Strange in a
oona fide and business-like manner.
The arguments will occupy two or three days.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
11.. Justice MILE, a, ter going through the bar, took
the enlarged rule paper, and disposed of several cases of
33.0
interest or importance except to the parties concerned
111 them.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WALKER..
„,"`. "liS action, which had reference to the right of the
Vecalse to levy duty upon certain bricks, the Court on
Tlilesday last made the rule absolute for a new trial.
tee-"e ATTORNEY-GENERAL now said it was absolutely
priessuy that the Court should lay down some general
th in this case, to prevent any stop being put to
Lee-racle, and to enable the Government officers to know
w
to act. The local Acts, upon which the question
tai,llPute turned, were passed for the drainage of eel.-
istr„,,,ells in Lincolnshire, and bricks used. in the con-
ereuort of the works were to be exempted from duty,
ea-v'dEcl they bore upon them the word " drain." The
the for brick-tmking was now approaching ; and as
could enly be made when the brick was in a
I,IZ state, it was important that the makers should now
whether that name was required, and what con-
gonerally their Lordships put on the Acts.
Nvotil,°,_CotraT inimated that judgment on the point
ce given to-tmorrow morning.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)

Mr. JARDINE remanded her ttatil Tuesday, to give
time for searchieg the privy.

RIBR(Y-ST RE ET-(THIS DAY.)
John Phillips, a general dealer, carrying on busibess
in Little Coram-street, Brunswick square, and James
Pringle, his shopman, were -br,tught up for re-examina-
tion, the former charged with purchasing a quantity of
cutlery, and the latter with pledging the s.-awe, well
knowing it to be stolen property.
Mr. Sidney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden, appeared
for the prisoners.
It appeared that on the morning of Friday last the
premises occupied by Mr. John Everard, cutler and
surgical instrument maker, Charles-street, Middlesex
Hospital, were entered by thieves, and about 25 dozen
knives, and other articles of cutlery were stolen from a
case in the she p. On the robbery being discovered, in-
formation was sent to the police, and an officer or the E
division, named Figg, was employed to trace the pro-
perty, and eventually found that a portion of the stolen
articles had been pledged by Pringle, at a pawnbroker's
in Wilmot-street, Brunswick-square. Pringle was ac
cordingly apprehended, when he at once admitted to
having pledged the knives by the direction of the pi-
stmer Phillips. The latter was then taken into custody,
and on the constable searching his shop several knives
were found, which were identified by Mr. Everard as a
portion of the property stolen from his shop.
Mr. Gill, pawnbroker, Wilmot street, Brunswick -
square, produced a quantity of knives, which were
pledged at his shop on Friday last, by the prisoner
Pringle. The ticket was made out in the name of
Andrews, Little Comm street.

Mr. Everard identified the knives as his property.
Mr. Sidney said, es far as regarded Pringle, it did not
appear to him that there was any case at all against him
(Pringle). He (Pringle) was merely a servant, and had
pledged the knives by the dirt ction of his employer
Phillips. He, therefore, respectfully submitted to the
Court that Pringle was entitled to his discharge.
Evidence having been offered that Pringle was really
in the employ of Phillips, .

• -
Mr. BINGHAM at once ordered him to be discharged.
Mr. Sidney then addressed the court in defence of
Phillips, whom he stated was a marine store•dealer, and
was in the habit of purchasing all sorts of miscellaneous
property. His client purchased the knives produced in
the usual way of business, and entered the purchase in a
book kept for that purpose. Not wanting all of them,
he sent Pringle to pledge some of them at Mr. Gill's,
with directions to pledge them in the name of Andrews.
Had his client had the remotest idea that the knives had
been stolen, he would not have bought them.
Mr. BINGHAM inquired if the man from whom Phil-
lips brought the knives could be produced? Phillips
said he thought he should be able to produce him if the
case was remanded.
Mr. BIND AN then remanded him till Monday next,
but at the r. quest of Mr. Sidney, agreed to accept bail
in two sureties of 254 each, and the prisoner in 501., for
his appearance on Monday next.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN ST.
GEORGES'-IN•THE EAST.

This morning at an early hour the greatest alarm pre-
wailed in the vicinity of St. Georges'-iu•the-East, iu con •
.sequence of a man named Young, aged about 50 years,
bang found dead at his residence in Split's-buildings,
Ellen-street, Back Church-lane, under suspicious cir-
cumstances.

Upon making inquiry, it appears that the deceased
was a very steady man, in the employ of Messrs. Hoare
and Co., the brewers, of East Smithfield. His wife was
trequently in the habit of ill-treating the dta eased when
he came home from labour. He returned from his em•
nloymwnt at a late hour of the evening, and soon alter
his reaching home, the neighbours were alarmed by
hearing the deceased quarrelling with his wife. About
midnight, a dreadful struggle was heard, and imme-
diately afterwards a violent fall downstairs. A groaning
noise inside ensued, end soon afterwards all became
quiet. Nothing more was s. en or heard of them until
an early hour this morning, when the woman called in
a next door neighbour to see the deceased, who she
said bad fallen down stairs, and had killed himself.
Information was forwarthd to the Leman-street Police
Station, when several constables repaired to the spot;
and from what transpired, it was thought necessary to
take charge of the woman and ►he dead body:
Mr. Bingham, of Back Church•lane, was called in.
and made an examination of the deceased, whom he be•
lieved had been dead many hours. The deceased had
most probably been thrown down stairs in the night,
and the force of the fall had broken his neck, from which
he must have expired almost ins antly.
Information was subsequently forwarded to Mr. W.
Baker, the Coroner, and that gentleman will hold an
inquest on the body this attertroon at the Prince of
Orange public house, Ellen-street.
The woman ist in custody of the police, until the re-
sult of the inquiry before the coroner is made known to
the Magistrate.

REPRESENTATION OF LEOMINSTER.
LEOMINSTER, THURSDAY MORNING.—A sudden and
very unexpected change in the position of parties pend-
ing the election for the vacancy occasioned in the repre-
sentation of this borough has taken place. Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton, tired, as he says, with the indecision
of the electors as to the man of their choice, has ful-
filled his promise, and withdrawn his name as a candi-
(fate. Tne field, however, is not left open to Mr.
Peel; for the withdrawal of Sir Edward has once more
brought forward Mr. Phillimore, son of Dr. Phillimore,
who, it will be remembered, offered himself as a can-
didate for the representation of the borough on ex-
treme Liberal principles; but who subsequently retired,
as he said, " in order that the Liberal party might not
be divided." The new addresses of Sir Edward Bul-
wer Lytton sind Mr. Phillimore are just out. Sir
Edward's is worth reading. He says, after reminding
the electors of his declaration to them, that unless
a large proportion of those who withheld their pro-
mises could be soon relieved from their suspense, he
should at least put an end to his own:—" You received
this intimation with great good humour, and it was not
without effect upon that part of the constituency whose
doubts the expression of my political opinions had
sufficed to dispel. Still, however, there remained a
considerable number of voters to whom the expla-
nation of political opinions (no matter how candid and
minute) seemed to afford no solution to doubt, and no
motive for decision." He adds, that after a delay to
allow them time to make up their minds—" I now learn
from Mr. Woodhouse (whose long experience of his
fellow-townsmen precludes the probability of a mis-
take in his report) that out of a constituency little
exceeding four hundred, more than one hundred
voters are still as dubious and irresolute as when
the question of a substitute for Mr. Barkly was
first obtruded on their consideration ; nay, that it is
their own belief, that only at the day of polling
will the light be suddenly revealed to them. Most of
these electors, it is true, still imply very favourable in-
clinations towards my cause; but I know of nothing
within my power to prevent the Notes separating then:i
s:Ayes from the inclinations, and flying off at the last
hour in an utterly opposite direction. It only remains
for rae, therefore, to adhere to my word, and to. relieve
teem all public perplexity electors so alive to the im-
portance of their duties and the value of their franchise."
The Hon. Baronet then thanks those who have frankly
supported him, and takes his leave of the electors of
Leominster.

Mr. Pinllimore's address is chiefly a reretition of the
principles which were enunciated in his first address to
the electors, to which he refers them, and he adds:—
" In spite of scurrilous abuse and spiteful depreciation,
I do not mean to retract or quality them. They
are principles which have ennobled the most illus-
tiious names in modern story, and by them I am content
to stand or tall." lie consideris that the revenues of
the Church of England are not distributed in the
manner must calculated to promote the spiritual wel-
fare of the inhabitants of this country; that our law is
" a disgrace to a civilized country;" that the Established
Church in Ireland " is a mockery of all religion and an
outrage of all justice;" and he is an uncompromising
advocate of free trade.

Mr. Frederick Peel has not yet returned to Leomin-
ster, but is t xpected on the day after the opening of Par-
liament. His friends are confident, and so ate those of
Mr. Phillimore. The new state of things hes created
little more stir in the borough.
