VICE-CHAN GERM.—( THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
WOOD V. ANDERSON.
Mr. SWANSTON said, he appeared for the defendants
in this case. The suit was for the administration of a
creditor's estate, and exceptions were taken with regard
to a sum of money that was alleged to be due from the
defendants. The Court directed the master to review
his report, which he had done, and had found that a very
much smaller sum was due from the defendants than was
originally reported by the Master. Then there was
another exception which related to a debt stated to be
established against the estate by certain bankers in the
country, and the Court directed an action to be brought.
That action had been subsequently brought and had
failed. It was proposed that the first exception, which
stated the result of the action, should be allowed. There
would be then enough to pay the plain-
tiffs in full who were specialty creditors, and
to pay also in full the only simple contract debt that
had been proved against the estate. The Master had
found that 500/. was due from the defendants, who must
pay the money into Court. It was a case of great hard-
ship as respected them, for they were charged in the suit
as executors not actually receiving that sum; they had
merely concurred in authorising the receipt of another
person tamed Clarke, and did not receive any part of the
money themselves. He (Mr. Swanston) bad to ask,
under those circumstances, that time should be allowed
to the defendants to pay the money. He bad no objec-
tion to the minutes.

His HONOUR, with the consent of the counsel for the
plaintiffs, eventually gave the defendants until the 11th
of June to pay the money into Court.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM,)
3IAUGHAM V. SUMNER.
The SOLICITOR•GENERAL said this case came
on on further directions, and was a suit fur the
administration of the estate of a gentleman named
Thomas Quarrington, who made a will leaving his pro-
perty to his brother for life, and after his death to his
widow, Catherine Quarrington, who also made a will.
The will of Thomas Quarrington gave his residuary es-
tate according to the trusts of the residuary estate of
Catherine Quarrington's will; and the bill was filed by
the legal personal representatives of Catherine's estate
for the administration of Thomas Quarrington's estate.
It appeared that Thomas Quarrington had made a deed
by which he had guaranteed ❑nder the bankruptcy of a
person to whom he had sold his business to pay 3s. 4d.
in the pound on all the debts proved under the commis-
sion; and those debts had all been paid. But the
Gloucester Bank had brought in a claim for between
1,4001. and 1,5001., which they alleged to be due to them
from Thomas Quarrington under the guarantee. The
Master directed a Commission to Gloucester, for
the purpose of examining witnesses. The witnesses
to be examined would have been very numerous, and
nice questions of law would have been involved. In
that state of the case the bank, seeing the amount of
litigation which was likely to result, agreed to take 917/.
for the amount of their claim, and 1001. for their costs.
All the parties agreed to give the bank this sum, and
not to go into evidence before the commission. Upon
the facts being brought under the notice of the Master
(Tinney), he certified that that compromise was very
properly made, and he accordingly found that 1,017/.
was due to the bank. He (the Solicitor-General) wished
to ask his Honour to make a declaration to confirm the
Master's report in that respect.
His HONOUR granted the application, all parties con-
senting.

BANKRUPTCY.-( THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN RE WOOLLETS.

This bankrupt had carried on business on Holborn-
hill as a silk merchant, and to-day was named for his
last examination, but an application was made for an
adjournment in consequence of the accounts not being
prepared.

In the course of the inquiry it was alleged that a cash-
box, containing papers of importance for the purpose of
making out the accounts, had been lost or mislaid.
The person who had been in possession under the fiat
proved that he left the books, papers, &c., in a box at
the office of the official assignee, and the bankrupt also
declared that he had seen it and used it at the office,
and that it must have been mislaid.

The cxunication was then adjourned for two months,
with protection.

MARLBRO'-S'fREET—(ThIS DAY)
James Gordon and Louisa Hentnan were placed be-
fore Mr. l3iegham, charged with being drunk and
riotous. Gordon was also charged with having assaulted
the police constable while taking him in charge.
Munell, 80 C, stated that about halt-past four o'clock
this morning, he was on duty in Union street, Bond-
street, where he saw the two prisoners, who were very
much in liquor, go up to several houses and knock
violently at the street doors. Witness desired them to
go home, when the prisoner Gordon seized hold of him
and struck him in the face. Witness then took them
both to the station. The woman was discharged, and
Mr. Bingham fined the man 4 Os. , or, in default, to be
committed for 14 days.
James Lucas, a lad about fourteen years of age, was
charged with violently assaulting a tradesman named
Russell, residing in Oxford market.
The complainant, it appeared, has been frequently
annoyed by a lot of boys, of the defendant's age, con-
gregating about the front of the shops. On several
occasions his shop windows have been broken by their
throwing stones and turnips at each other. Complain'
ant had remonstrated with them; but on each occasion
they treated him with the greatest insolence. On the
previous night he was shutting up his shop, when he re-
ceived a violent blow on the head from a turnip,which was
thrown by the defendant. Complainant immediately seized
hold of him with a determination of giving him in
charge, whe n the defendant struck him on the face and
blackened both his eyes. A constable then came up, and
he (complainant) gave defendant in charge.
The defendant, who conducted himself in a very inso-
lent manner before the magistrate, was fined 40s. or one
month to the House of Correction.
John Collins, en elderly man of respectable appear-
ance, and George Tennant, a lad, 17 years of age,
charged with indecent conduct in Hyde-park on the pre-
vious night.
The charge having been clearly proved, they were
fully committed for trial. were

EXECUTION AT WORCESTER.—W. Pulley, convicted
at the last assizes of the murder of a young girl near
Pershore, underwent the extreme penalty of the law yes-
terday, at the top of Worcester gaol. From an early
hour many thousands were assembled in all the roads
and approaches to the gaol, and the execution was ar-
ranged to take place at twelve o'clock. Pulley had made
a confession to the chaplain, the Rev. J. Anlington, of
his crime, and of the justice of his punishment. At
eleven o'clock divine service was performed in the gaol
chapel, in the presence of all the prisoners. Pulley was
very attentive, and joined in the services. He had been
docile and penitent throughout, and thankful for the at-
tentions of the chaplain. At twelve o'clock, the service
being ended, he ascended the ladder without the slightest
hesitation. In a short time the bolt was withdrawn, and
a few slight tremors were all that was visible of pain or
death. Having hung an hour, the body was taken
down, and buried without ceremony in the precincts of
the gaol.
