COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
It was expected that the Court would have pronounce d
judgment in certain cases, which have long stood over,
particularly in the case of Morgan v. the Earl of Aber-
gavenny, but the suitors were disappointed, for in no case
did the Court give judgment. The case of Morgan e.
the Earl of Abirgarenny is one of considerable interest,
not only to the parties, but the legal profession at large,
the question involved in it being whether the deer in a
park which were bequeathed as chattels by a will passed
as personalty under the will, or were part of the free-
hold, and therefore bAorged to the heir-at•law. The
case was originally argued before the Court about two
years ago, and afterwards, in consequence of the re-
construction of the Court, it was re argued, and now it
stands over for judgment. Since the second argument the
Court has undergone a further taoutation, Sir Thomas
Wilde and Mr. Sergeant Tall urd having bean elevated,to
the Bench by the death of Lord Chief Justice Tindal
and Mr. Justice Coltman.

The Court proceeded to hear the arguments in the
ease of Barnes and Troup, on a motion to make a rule
n!si for a new trial absolute, but it involved no feature
of public interest, the question only having reference to
the fairness of the clurgei in an architect's bill.

SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY
(B lora THOMAS PUCKLE, Esq., and a Bench of

Magistrates.)
Alaiy Cain, 20, was indicted for stealing a silk hand-
kerchief and four shillings, from the person of William
Good, at Kingston.
The prosecutor stated that on the evening of the 16th
ult. he went into the Crown public-house, in the
Market-place, Kingston, where he met the prisoner, and
treated her to some beer. Oa leaving the house the

managed to steal his handkerchief and money, and be-
fore he could prevent her she passed the property to a
Man who ran past. He however, kept hold of her until
ptliceman came up, when he gave her into custody.
In defence the prisoner said she wont to a dance at
the Crown, and the prosecutor asked her to dance with
him. He was, however, so clumsy that he threw the
whole company into confusion by his outlandish
reanceuvres.—(laughter.) She advised bim to leave
the room, and when they got to the bar the prosecutor
asked her to go a little way with him. She consented,
and because she w.uld not go down a dark lane with
him, he gave her into custody.
The jury found her Guilty, and the Court sentenced
her to three mouths' hard labour at Brixton House of
Correction.

evening of the sth instant, and after be left he missed a
lictorine, which was afterwards found on the prisoner.
In defence, the prisoner said the victorine adhered to

custody.
The jury instantly Acquitted him.
