ccse, which; came before him a short time since upon
motion on behalf of the plaintiff, to compel the defendant
to sign a cheque, and hand it over to the plaintiff.
The matter in difference between the parties were, it
appeared, made the subject of arbitration, and an award
was made by the arbitrator in favour of the plaintiff, and
the object of the motion was to compel obedience to that
award. Oa the motion coming on before the Court, a
preliminary objection was taken to it, on the ground
that the Court would not act upon the award, inasmuch
as it had not been made a rule of Court; and
upon that preliminary objection the Master of
the Rolls now gave judgment. His Lordship
was of opinion upon the authorities that the motion
might be sustained, although the award had not been
made a rule of Court. The motion must therefore stand
over till the first day of Easter Term.
IN RE SAVERY.—JUDGMENT.
In this case his Lordship was of opinion that the
examination was insufficient, and gave further time to
put in a more sufficient examination.

motions of no general interest. His honour will not bit

SECONDARIES".-(THIS DAY.)
On the jury being called very few jurors were in
attendance, and it was intimated that an " example "
would be mode of the absentees. On the jury being
made up it was found there was no cause to try, the
attornies not being present. After a lapse of a quarter
of an hour the jury were discharged, and asked whether
they were not to be paid for their attendance.
Mr. Hudson the officer of the Court replied in the
negative, but observed that attending on these juries
prevented greater inconvenience, as the jurors were
exonerated from serving in the superior Courts and the
Central Criminal Court for three years.

HARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Susannah Price, a woman of the town, was charged
with annoying several gentlemen in the public street,
and• John Gordon, a captain in the army, was also
charged with attempting to rescue the prisoner from the
custody of the police constable.
, Chatfield, 302 A, stated that this morning about half-
pact one o'clock he was ou duty in Oxford-street, when
he saw the female prisoner go up to two gentlemen and
to s
lay bold of
harem. They pushed her away and refused
peak toWitness went up to her and requested
her to go away. She then walked away, and when she got
as far us Argylle-street she went up to another gentle-
man. Witness then took her in charge. Ho had got
as far as Beak• street, Regent-street, when she refused
to proceed any further. He then gently pushed her for-
ward when the defendant Gordon came up and asked
witness what the woman was charged with. Witness
refused to satisfy him, when he said ho was an officer in
the army, and he (witness) should nit take the woman
any further unless witness gave him a satisfactory
answer. Witness told him he should take him to the
station if he did not be offi Defendant then took hold
of the woman's shoulder and prevented witness from
taking her away. Another constable then came up and
witness directed him to take defendant into custody.
Mr. HARDWICK discharged the woman, and asked the
defendant what answer he had to make to the charge.
Captain Gordon said, he begged to state, on the word
of a gentleman, that he did not touch the woman at all.
He should not ;have interfered had not the constable
handled the woman in a very rough and unbecoming
manner. He merely asked the constable the cause of
his treating the woman in such a manner, when he an-
swered him in a very insolent manner.
Mr. Hannwick said, he strongly deprecated the con-
duct of defendant, but, as it did cot appear that he had
used any violence, he should fine him in the mitigated
penalty of 10s.
The money was immediately paid.

MURDERS.

TRIAL OF RUSH.

(THIS DAY.)

,BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
RUSH'S DEFENCE.
NORWICH, THREE o'CLocss.
The Court was opened at the usual hour.
Rush continued—The nature of his relations in re-
spect of property with Mr. Jermy were such that it
was to his interest that he should live, rather than die
If he had intended to commit the horrible crime of
murder, did they think he would have had Emily
Sandford at Potash? She said he trembled. He did ;
as, from what he had heard at the Hall, and his differ-
ences with the family, he feared ho should be
suspected : but when he went to bed he was
as firm as at that moment. his conscience
accused him of no guilt. " God Almighty !
if I had done such a thing, I could not
have looked you in the (ace—l sh ould have been
mad by this time." The coat he wore on the night
of the murder he buried in the pig stye, knowing
that he should be suspected.—(Sensation.) He should
produce it. Mrs. Jermy said the murderer wore a
grey coat, not a cloak, and differed altogether from
Watson. They could not believe such con•
tradictory statements, nor convict him upon them.
He implored them to take ample time to consider
their verdict—the improbability of his being the
murderer—for the sake of his dear young children,
sow bursting with suspense, who were destitute of a
mother, and who prayed they would give them back
their father. If condemned, the time would come,
when his innocence would be manifest. Might God
give them wise understanding to see his guiltless-
ness, and to return a verdict of Not Gnilty. Rush
finished at twelve o'clock. He called the following
evidence :
Mr. Waugh, a solicitor, said he would not believe
Howe on oath, unless supported by respectable testi

LONDON.
The MASTER of the Ronns also gave judgment in this
case, which was argued before him a short time since,
upon certain exceptions taken to the report of tho Mas-
ter, who had allowed certain exceptions taken by the
Attorney-General to the answers put in by the de-
fendants, the Corporation of London, to the information
fihr-d of the Attorney-General. The information was
filed by the Attorney-General, fur the purpose
of having the question settled, which was ex-
isting between the Crown and the city of London, as to
which of them were entitled to the bank of the Thames
between high and low water mark. The Crown by its
information insisted that it was entitled by the
common law to the banks of all rivers in the
realm between high and low water mark, while,
on the part of the corporation, it was con-
tended that they held their right by prescription, and
that the Crown had no rig:it to interfere with it, and
they declined by their answ, rto produce their title. To
this answer the Attorney-General took exceptions which
were allowed by the Muster, and to the report allowing
those exceptions, the defendants took exceptions, and
upon them the Master of the Rolls now gave judgment.
hi is Lordship after going at some length
into the case, stated his opinion to be, that
the defendants, the corporation of the city of Lon-
don, were not entitled to refuse the discovery they had
done; he must therefore order the exceptions to the
Master's report to be disallowed.
At the suggestion of the SOLICITOR GENERAL, the de-
fendants were allowed two mouths to put in a full
answer to the information.
