PAUL V. COOKE.

This was an inquiry on a Writ to ascertain what property belonged to
the defendant, who had be;:n outlawed.

Mr. JoNes stated the case. The plaintiff is an upholsterer, and the
defendant is a gentleman, who, in the year 1835, resided in York-road,
Lambeth, at which place the plaintiff delivered goods to his order, to
the amount of 2141., which, however, was never paid, and proceedings
in outlawry were taken. The present writ was to recover the property
hack, and evidence would be adduced to show that it was still in the
possession of the defendant. The plaintiff's foreman was called, and
proved that he had seen the greater part of the goods in the defen `ant's
house, and estimated the value at 1501. He, however, could 113 i; specify
the items.

The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was necessary *V er y item should be men-
tioned in the return of the jury, and he recommended the plaintiff to
give the officer all indemnity, and take possession of the goods at once
when an inventory could be made out.
This was agreed to by the plaintiff`,

OIIRLY V. DUNBAR.

Lord DAMIAN gave judgment in this case, which had been argued
during the present Term. It was an action upon a policy of insurance,
to recover a sum of 9.7,000/., brought by the Netherlands Steam
Company against the Underwriters in London. A verdict had been
given for the plaintiff, and a rule for a new trial was subsequently ob.
tanned. With respect to the question of sea-wcrthiness, the Court was
of opinion that the verdict of the jury was not satisfactory, and they
would be very glad to have the question again determined. They would
therefore make the rule for the new trial absolute, but with the under-
standing that the defendant should give up the second plea relative to
The representation of newness.—Rule absolute.

THE QUEEN V. FLETCHER.

The COURT requested that the affidavits in this case which had been
argued yesterday, would be handed up to them, before they pronounced
their judgment.

THEATRES.

ST. JAMES'S.
Mr. Braham, last night, presented at this theatre the third
edition of Le Domino Noir, or the Black Domino. As it is
played here, it probably comes nearer to the original opera
of Scribe and Auber than the clever version at the Adelphi,
or that represented elsewhere ; the singing parts being ex-
ceedingly well sustained by Miss J. Smith, Madame Sala, and
others. The first-named lady introduced, with much taste, a
pretty Spanish melody, arranged and partly composed by Mrs.
A'Beckett, and commencing " How oft, when coldly greet-
ing." She also gave " Yes, in the midst of her devotion,"
the " Au refictaire d la prit?re" of Auber, with great judg-
ment and feeling. This young lady is improving much, and
justifies the opinion so warmly expressed in her favour on her
debut not long ago. The convent scene, which is entirely left
out at the Adelphi, is here rendered very effective, nearly the
whole of Auber's appropriate and beautiful music being given.
Mrs. Stirling sustained the part of the Black Domino in a
clever and fascinating manner. Of the other characters we
need say nothing at present. The manager has paid much
attention to the " mounting" of the burletta. The piece was
announced for repetition amidst general applause.

VOTE BY BALLOT.

Sir S W HALLEY also presented a petition from
Marjlebone, in favour of the Vote by Ballot, Ttiennial
Parliaments, and for persons at mature age having the
right to vote. The Hon. Gentleman said he was not yet
prepared to agree to the latter part of this petition.
Mr. ANDREW WHITE presented a petition from
Sunderland, complaining of the great extent to which
bribery and intimidation were carried on during the late
3!ection, and praying for the Vote by Ballot, and that the
Suffrage might be extended to all householders. In the
prayer of this petition he cordially concurred.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, J.llO. 29.
(Concluded from our First Edition of yesterday. )
Sir W. FOLLETT, who appeared in support of the rule, then
addressed the Court at very great length, contending that
every act of Mr. Masters was consistent with the most perfect
innocence, and that he had never shrunk from investigation
into the charge, which rested entirely on the unsupported tes-
t imony of the girl,which was in many respects very contradictory.
To prove that Mr. Masters was anxious for inquiry, he bad
applied to the Bishop for that purpose, and whilst the investi-
pending, it was highly improper for the defendant

Lord Dexmax gave judgment in this case. It was an application in

what authority he exercise.' the office of a Freeman of the Borough of
Mahlon, which had been argued during the present Term. It ap-
peared that the defendant was on the Freeman's list, but was not on
the Burgess roll, his name having been expunged from the list by the
Revising Barrister. The Court, after commenting on the facts of the
case, observed that it was well understood that a quo warrant° could
not lie unless the party were actually in possession of the office, and,
therefore, the rule must be discharged.—Rule discharged.

'0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—The names selected for the Military Enquiry are such as must
give the greatest satisfaction and confidence, as it looks as if the Govern-
ment were tit last disposed to consider the faithful and arduous duties
long performed by a meritorious class of officers; and it is hoped those
who have served without having been on half-pay for their own con-
venience above thirty years, and who have been severely wounded, yet
remaining only Captains of 1827, will be deemed worthy of some
honoured mark and remuneration in the next Brevet.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

We never had greater pleasure in witnessing a dramatic representa-
tion than we experienced on Saturday evening in viewing As You Like
It at Covent-garden. This delightful comedy—perhaps one of the
most pleasing creations of Shakspeare's fertile genius--was produced
with all that taste and care which have marked the production of so
many Shakspearian dramas during the management of Mr. Macready.
We have often made theremark which, at the risk of apparent triteness,
we must repeat, as especially applicable to this occasion—that nothing is
more remarkable in the present management of this theatre, which
has done so much for the legitimate drama this season, than the careful
filling up of every character with the best representative the existing
condition of the stage affbrds. In the representation of As You
Like It, there was not a single part which was not ably sup-
ported—and, though in the drama's highest and palmiest days,
it might be easily imagined that particular characters were repre-
sented in a manner nearer approaching to perfection, we do not believe
a fairer tout ensemble of dramatic attraction was ever presented than on
this occasion. Mr. Macready's personation of the melancholy, musing,
Jacques, was a beautiful and highly finished performance. His delivery
of the well known lines—" All the worlds a stage," ike. was marked by
the most exquisite combination of pathos and contemplation, mis,
Taylor's Rosalind was gracefuldively, and buoyant; Mr. Harley, as
Touchstone, and Mrs. Humby, as Audrey, were drily humorous in the
extreme. Mr. Anderson played Orlando with great ability ;he uttered
the fine poetry of the play with true taste and feeling, and was deservedly
highly applauded. Minor parts were well played by Messrs, Bennett
and Diddear, and Miss Clifford, nor must we forget Mr. Wilson'
who, as Amiens, sung two or three charming melodies, in
admirable style, and we could not help thinking, as we beheld Mr. Ma-
cready and Mr. Wilson, who might be taken as the representatives of tra-
gedy and opera, in juxta position with each other, how much titter it
is, that the aids and accompaniments of the sister muses—whether of
music or dancing—with all the appliances of spectacle, of scenery, of
mechanical contrivance, and dramatic illusion, should preserve their
proper and natural subordination, to the genius of the legitimate drama,
instead of being elevated to an undue preference above it.
The play was received throughout with merited enthusiasm, and the
curtain fell amidst thunders of applause.

Mr. PEMBERTON this morning moved on behale'uf the Bent. of Vn-g"
land that the defendants, a Company or partn!rship called the London.
Joint Stock Batsk, might be restrained b‘; the injunction of the Cour'
from accepting, or causing to be accepted, on behalf of the Company 51)
bills of acceptance or promissory-notes payable at a less date than ot
months from the time of acceptance. The Learned Gentleman stated
that the object of the bill was to restrain the defendants, who represented_
the Londcn Joint Stock Bank, from acting in violation of the Charter of
the Bank, on the construction which had been decided by
Pleas on a case sent from that Court, and subsequently confirmed bl
his Lordship. lie believed the only question in the cause (if any the
was) was, whether that which the defendants were doing was or Iva, 'l.ot
a violation of those obligations which his Lordship had decided drat the
Bank Charter had imposed on all Banking Companies within th.e city of
London, or 65 miles round it. the Common

Mr. Maul./ also appeared for the Bank.
Sir W. FOUNT; Mr. KINDERIILLY, and Mr. 0 RICHARDS, were f4l

This was an action brought for the recovery of 5/., which Wll tried
before the Under-Sheriff of Sussex, at Brighton, when a verdict wa'
found for the defendant.
Mr. Men/otos had obtained a rule nisi fora new trial, on the ground
could
,
that since the trial the plaintiff had found that material evidence N-id
be given by two witnesses named Hannah Palmer and Sarah Colton,
that had they been called at the trial, the verdict, he believe, w°u

have been for the plaintiff. • nd

defendant made some excuses, and kept the bill, and then attemPLe
at41.1.4ti payment a second time from the plaintiff. He in that manner
obtained the 51. His (Mr. H.'s) affidavits said the witness

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 5.
COOPER v. EMERV.
This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls allowing
an exception to the Master's Report. The question. was, whether 3
pew in a church sold in conjunctiin with a messuage, was to be tied es-
sential to the proper engagement of the purchase, the title to the pew
having failed. A reference was made to the Master by the Vice Chan•
cellor to inquire whether the engagement of the pew was essential or
material. The Master found that it was material, but not essential, and
the Master of the Rolls allhwed exceptions taken to the Report 011 thi
ground of insufficient evidence. The appeal was opposed by Mr. VP
Ley and Mr. Walker on Wednesday last.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR, without calling on the other side, obsCfted
this morning that he perfectly coincided with the Master of the itolP.
The appeal must therefore bedismissed with costs.

It is not alone to the industrious classes this plan of Deferred
Annuities will be found efficient, in securing an ample competency
for old acre ; but also to that important class of the community who
derive their income from a combination of capital and personal
labour. To this class, the Savings' Banks do not afford a suffi-
ciently profitable investment ; and, indeed, the framework of such
institutions as have heel: designed for the more humble classes, has
not been made to suit their wants or consult their interests, and
there exists no institution, at present, to which they can resort,
that would at the same time foster their indu3try,—secure to them
a competency in old age,—and protect them against the varied
casualties of life.

The Tables of Deferred Annuities have been constructed with
a view to exhibit the benefits that may be secured by the smallest
effort of frugality, and to suit the circumstances and convenience of
all classes.

The object of Tables No. I. is to show the option of benefits
the payment of Is. per week, or 2/. 12s. per annum, will secure at
the period of attaining the age of 50, 55, 60, or 65.
The Tables No. 11. show the Annual Premiums required to se-
cure the option of given benefits at these ages,—the sum required
at each age to be paid down at once to purchase them,--and also the
sum at any age to be paid as disparity, so as to enable the purchaser
instead of paying the premium at his own age, to pay that set down
for the age of 20, and by tkis means enabling the owner of a little
saving to turn it to the est account. The Society will, more-
over, receive all this sum by instalments, two-thirds of the
amount paid may, at any time, be withdrawn on deposit of the policy,
and in the event of death before the stipulated age, two-thirds of
the payment will be returned to the family.

The qualities of this article, unlike those of all other
Brandies, arc not a matter of questionable character. They hays
been acourately determined by analysis ; and the Testimonials of
the eminent Chemists who undertook the examination, have satis-
factorily proved that the Patent Brandy is not only free from the
injurious properties to which even the best French Brandies are
subject, but that its purity is essentially perfect.

tillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, adjoining the Cattle Market, where
