LAW INTELLIGENCE.
EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Feb. 6.

Sittings in Error.--Present, Justices PATTESON, COLT-
MAN, MAULE, CRESSWELL, ERLE, and WILLIAMS.)
MOULTON AND WIFE v. CAMROUX.

This was a case arising out of a special verdict. The
action had been brought by the plaintiff's, the wife being
the administratrix of Thomas Leigh, against the de-
fendant, as the secretary of the National Loan Fund
Insurance Company, for money had and received. The
verdict was found for the defendant in the Court below.
Leigh had agreed to purchase an annuity of the in-
surance company. There were two questions—whether
a lunatic could make a contract under the circumstances
disclosed by the record; and whether, assuming he could,
this contract was void, under the statute governing an-
nuities, for want of enrolment. _ _ _

Mr. Needham was heard for the plaintiffs, and Mr.
Gurney for the defendant.
Mr. Justice PATTESON stated that the Court thought
the judgment of the Court below, as to the enrolment,
was right. The Act of Parliament which had said that
deeds granting the annuity, if not enrolled, should be
void, had not thrown the burden of enrolling upon
either party; it seemed to bej the duty of the grantee,
but whether it was so or not, it was not necessary to say.
At all events, the granteel might enrol, and, therefore,
for him to say he would treat the transaction as void
could not be allowed. It was partly his fault; therefore
the action could not be sustained. As to the other point
they would not now say anything.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Meson, of the Ben Jonson, public-house, was
summoned before Alderman Hunter, for keeping his
house open on Sunday morning, and refusing admittance
to the police when demanded.
The facts of the case were, that on Sunday morning,
about ono o'clock, one of the police-officers heard a great
deal of talking, and money jingle on the counter. He
informed the sergeant, who went back with him and de-
mended admittance, which was refused, and they went
away, but by orders of the inspector, he was told to keep
a watch on the house. He did and observed, be-
tween the hours of two and three o'clock in the morning,
several persons go out.
The defence set up was that one of Mr. Mason's nephews
was going abroad, and they were the only parties in the
house, a party having been given on the occasion by Mr.
Mason, sen.

Alderman HUNTER said he would throw overboard all
thoughts about who was there, or who was not ; but he
must not look over the fact of their refusing to allow
the police admission when they demandtd it, having fair
reason to believe that a violation of the law was being
committed, He should therefore fine Mr. Mason in the
penalty of 203., and 3s. costs.
The fine was at once paid.
WORSHIP-STREET. _ .

Henry Hunt and John Bunton, two athletic labouring
men, were placed at the bar before Mr. Ty rw hitt, charged
with having caused the death of a fellow- labourer, named
Edward Rumball, in a pugilistic encounter.
It appeared from the evidence of James Hubby, a
stoker, employed at the Imperial Gas-works in Hag-
gerstone, and several other witnesses, that the deceased
and a number of other workmen were assembled on the
preceding evening in the tap-room of the Anchor pub-
lic- house, adjoining the gas-factory, when an alterca-
tion arose between two of the party, which led to a
general challenge on the part of Hunt to fight any one
present. The deceased at once accepted the challenge,
and after a short contest, in the course of which bard
blows were exchanged on both sides, they fell toge-
ther against the iron . fender in front of the
grate, but got up apparently uninjured, and re-
sumed their seats ag nothing unpleasant bad oc-
curred between them. Almost immediately afterwards the
deceased commenced quarrelling with another man,
whom he struck and challenged, and tho prisoner Min-
ton having interfered to restore order, the deceased sud-
denly started up and insisted upon fighting him also.
The deceased then pulled off his frock, and was in the
act of adjusting his belt, when Minton struck him a
slight blow on the side of the head, and he staggered
back into his seat, but rose almost immediately, and
falling forward on his face remained perfectly still, and
never spoke afterwards. Medical assistance was pro-
cured as speedily as possible, and three surgeons were
shortly in attendance, but they pronounced the unfor-
tunate man to be quite dead, and directed the removal
of the body to Shoreditch workhouse.
Mr. John Richard Morgan, a surgeon at Hackney,
who had been called in upon the occasion, deposed that
he found the deceased had sustained an extensive con-
tusion of the occiput, apparently produced by a heavy
blow or fall, but he was unable to state the immediate
cause of death until he had made a post mortem exa-
mination.

Police-constables Caffrey and Acres,who apprehended
the prisoners soon after the occurrence, stated that both
of them attributed the disaster to the intemperate and
violent conduct of the deceased himself, and severally
declared that they had merely acted in self-defence.
The prisoners now repeated the same statement in
their defence, and were ordered to be remanded until
Saturday next. _ _
