LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, A'Gv. 14.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL V. GRAINGER.
The Lord Chancellor gave judgment in this case
this morning, which came before him on appeal from
the judgment of the Vice Chancellor of England.
The brief facts of the case set forth in the bill were
to the following effect, namely, that, in December,
1624, John Kenrick by will gave and bequeathed to
the mayor and burgesses of the town of Reading the
sum of 7,5001. upon trust, that they should purchase
lands of the clear value of 501. by the year, which
sum should be paid unto the testator's sister during
her life, and after her death to the overseers of the
poor, to be bestowed and distributed to the poor of
Reading in manner provided for in the will. Ile
further directed that, if these should be misapplied for
the space of one year, the whole legacy should be
paid over to Christ's Hospital. In the year 1639 a
decree was made by the Court of Exchequer, giving
directions about the charity ; but the corporation had
not employed the bequests as ordered by the viii, or
by the decree, for many years. It appeared that,
under the new Municipal Corporations Act, new
trustees had been appointed, and that in the year
1842 the present bill had been filed by Christ's
Hospital.

Ilk LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, said, that the
present appeal had been made by the Attorney-
General as a defendant in the case. A decree had
been made by the Court of Exchequer, in 1639, to
the effect that if the Corporation of Reading should
neglect to perform the decree, or should misapply the
trust property, and that such neglect or mis-employ-
ment should continue for one year, the legacy should
be void, and of no effect as to Reading, and the
property should be forthwith transferred to the Cor-
poration of London, for the benefit of Christ's
Hospital. That the directions in the decree, as well
as those in the will, had been neglected and unper-
formed for more than a year, was a fact which was
clearly established, and not in dispute. Upon these
facts the Corporation of London had filed their bill,
to recover that property for Christ's Hospital, and the
Vice-Chancellor had made his decree in flyour of the
claim of the Corporation of London. His Lordship
said he could not avoid alluding to the fact, that the
Attorney-General had not taken any part in the dis-
cussion on the hearing of the bill, and such being the
case, he could not approve of any party coming for-
ward, after a decree which he did not oppose, toask for a
rehearing for the purpose of re-opening the discus-
sion. The rule was, however, not strictly applied in
cases of charities, and the Court would not, upon
such an object, refuse to re hear such a case as the
Attorney-General had to make, and that led him to
a consideration of the case which the Attorney-
General had made on the rehearing. Now the
Attorney-General had contended that the bill ought
to have been dismissed, although the decree of the
Court of Exchequer had not been attended to, and the
directions in the will had been neglected, and he
argued that nevertheless the town of Reading should
continue in the enjoyment of the property. Such, in
point of form, was what the Attorney-General had
contended for, although it could not be his real object,
but finding the decree of the Vice-Chancellor shut out
the case which he had intended to make upon infor-
mation, he took that step to remove the impediment
out of the way, in order that he might now raise the
whole case, which might, and which ought to have been,
brought forward by the cause and information having
been heard together. Although on that point the
Court had a right to complain, it would not on that
ground decline giving an opinion on that point, which
had been now raised for the first time by the Attorney-
General. After alluding to the fact that the property
was a gift of the Corporation of Reading, fur certain
charitable trusts, with a proviso that in a certain event
the bequest should cease and be transferred to another
corporation, for other charitable trusts, and that such
event had happened; he then went into a considera-
tion of the cases which had been cited in the course
of the argument. It had been said, he observed,
among other things, that the bequest was void, as
contrary to the rules of perpetuity ; but these rules,
he would observe, were intended to apply to cases for
the purpose of preventing property being unalienable
beyond certain periods. The next argument was,
that the forfeiture created by the will was destroyed
by the decree, and that the forfeiture created by the
decree was inoperative, being beyond the jurisdiction
of the Court ; but that argument his Lordship
thought was not at all consistent. Upon the whole
his Lordship was of opinion that the Attorney-General
could not sustain the case he had brought forward in
that re-hearing, and that the decree of the Vice-
Chancellor must therefore be affirmed.—Affirmed
accordingly.

His Lordship then proeeeded with the unopposed
lunatic petitions.
IN RE DYCE SOMBRE (LUNACY).
Mr. ROLT presented a petition on behalf of Mr.
Shadwell, the solicitor, for payment of the costs in-
curred by him in prosecuting the two last petitions
by Mr. Dyce Sombre to supersede the commission of
lunacy against him. In the first petition it will be
recollected that his Lordship ordered Mr. Dyce
Sombre to undergo an examination by several medical
gentlemen ; and the second petition sought to set
aside the commission, notwithstanding the report of
the medical men was adverse to Mr. llyce Sombre.
Mr. J. PARKER said he appeared for two of the
next of kin, and did not oppose the application.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give the
petitioner the costs of the first petition, but not of the
last one. It was no ground for the payment of costs
to a solicitor, that he had been employed by a lunatic
—a lunatic found by commission, and one whom he
(the Lord Chancellor) still held to be a lunatic; the
more so as it appeared that other parties had moved
in the affair, to whom the solicitor might look for
payment.
Ordered accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Thomas Cheslett, of No. 11, George•street, Man-
sion-house, was brought up for further examination,
charged with obtaining goods and money by means
of a forged order and cheque.
The prisoner had been remanded at the request of
Henry Webb, the officer, in consequence of finding
on him a number of other forged orders. A card
was also found on him, from which it appeared that
he was carrying on business under the title of Burge,
Cheslett, and Co., commission and general agents, of
No. 4, Skinner's-place, Sise-lane, Bucklersbury, and
when Webb called there he found property of every
description on the premises.
Webb now said that when he apprehended the pri-
soner he asked him if he had a cheque-book, and he
replied that he had not, but on searching his lodgings
in George-street, Mansion-house, the book produced
was found in a drawer in the bed• room belonging to
the prisoner, and the cheque produced corresponded
with the counterfoil.
Mr. Robert Frederick Priest, a clerk from Messrs.
Rogers and Co., the bankers, said the book had been
issued to a Mr. C. M. King in the year 1840, but he
had not been a customer for a long time. They had
no customers of the names of either Henry or
Edward Howell, by whom the cheque produced
purported to be drawn.
Mr. Charles Edminston, of 91 and 93, Grace-
church street, tailor and outfitter, said that the order
for the goods as well as the body of the cheque, were
in the prisoner's handwriting; but he would not
swear to the signature at the botom of the latter, for
it was evidently written in a disguised hand.
Alderman GlBBs—Did you ever see the prisoner
write ? Mr. Edwinston—l have many times, as the
prisoner lived with me several years.
Mr. Thwaites, of High-street, in the Borough,
draper, stated that one of his assistants received a
similar order for 3i yards of black cloth, which was

to be of the best description and about 11s. 6d. per
yard. The party calling was a young man, and he
presented a cheque :dated Ist November for 61. 10s.,
and signed Henry Howell. The cloth and balance
were given, but on the cheque being presented it was
returned, as there was " no account."
Alderman GIBBS asked the prisoner what answer
he had to make to the present charges.
Cheslett replied that he had a sufficient nnswer,
but as he understood there was snore to be said
against him, he would rather reserve what he had to
say until he heard all the charges.
Mr. Thomas Speneer, of 116, Fenchurch-street,
waterproof-cloth-manufacturer, said that the prisoner
obtained from him some waterproof cloth, to the
amount of 161., under the following circumstances :
A short time back the prisoner called and said that he
was a partner in the firm of Burge, Cheslett, and
Co., of Sise-lane, and they wished to ship some
goods, at the same time exhibiting a list to the
amount of 601, and he also wished for samples.
Witness replied that their custom of doing business
was to take one half the value of the goods at the time,
and the remainder on completing the shipment; upon
which Cheslett rejoined that his partner was a man of
great property, but very eccentric, having been once
bitten by payinr, half the amount and never
receiving the balance of goods, since which
he had determined never to pay until all had
been delivered. Witness then asked for a refer-
ence, and the prisoner gave the name of a Mr.
Amos, living in the Dover road. On calling on that
person he said that he did not like to give answers
w hen there was no permission given to refer to
him, but that he had heard and believed the pri-
soner had got a meneyed partner. This lulled his
suspicions, but shortly after he demanded the samples
back,. as on making further inquiries he came to the
conclusion that no such person as Mr. Burge existed
in the firm.

Mr. Burge, jun., here came forward and said, that
in consequence of what had appeared in the news-
papers, he was directed by his father to call and state
that, although his parent had entertained a proposal
of partnership, he eventually declined carrying it out,
and_was exceedingly surprised, from the reports he

had read, that the prisoner had taken such an unwar-
rantable liberty to use his name.
Alderman GIBBS asked Mr. Burge if his father had
ever signed any paper or agreement, giving the pri-
soner a pretext for calling him a partner? Mr.
Burge, jun., said that he had signed none whatever.
Alderman GIBI3S—Then in that case he got the
goods under a false pretence.
Mr. Benjamin Jacobs, of 34, Union-street, Bish-
opsgate, tailor, said in August last the prisoner called
at his shop, and said that ha had got a rich partner,
but was short of money himself. He wished to have
a suit of clothes, for which he promised to pay in
six weeks, and the clothes which he was supplied with
were those he then stood at the bar in.
Alderman GIBBS said, that according to Mr. Ja-
cobs' account, credit had been given, but he (the
Alderman), would consider whether the representa-
tion that he had a rich partner would come under the
denomination of obtaining goods under false pretences.
Did the prisoner object to being remanded until
Saturday ? The prisoner replied, that he would
rather be remanded until Wednesday, and that would
better enable him to rebut the greater part of the
charges against him.
Alderman GIBB 4 ultimately remanded him until
Saturday, remarking that, if it was necessary, a
further remand would take place.
111A1?LBOROUGH-STREET.

The female named Wetherell, who for some time
passed herself off as the Countess of Carlisle elect, and
who imposed on various tradesmen by the assertion
that she was about to be married to the Earl of Car-
lisle, who had given unlimited power to her to order
a suitable wedding outfit, came into court to ask the
magistrate to get her some property which she alleged
her former landlady illegally detained from her. The
applicant, it will be recollected, was supposed to be of
unsound mind, from the circumstance of her styling
herself in her literary productions " the last descendant
of the Bruce," and her eccentric behaviour at Buck-
ingham Palace ; and this induced the magistrate, in-
stead of committing her for trial when brought in
custody to this court, to send her to St. Martin's
parish, there to have a medical opinion as to the state
of her intellects. It is presumed that the medical
gentlemen have considered that her mental faculties
are sufficiently sound to warrant her being again set
at large.
Mr. HARDWICK, who heard her application, said he
could not do anything in the matter, as he was not the
magistrate who heard the original charge.
Smith, the principal usher, told the applicant to come
next Monday, when Mr. Bingham, the other magis-
trate, would be on duty.
The applicant said she was fearful she could not
come that day, as she had taken her passage to Aus-
tralia, and was doubtful about the time the vessel
would sail.
The applicant, who appeared to have totally for-
gotten her old story of being the Countess of Carlisle,
then left the court.
THE CASE OF MRS. GEORGE.--A gentleman handed
to the magistrate 6/. 55., being the amount of a collec-
tion from the brethren of St. Andrew's Lodge, No,
269, for Mrs. George, the female with her two children
deserted by Mr. Crouch, the vocalist.
SOUTHWARK..

A young man of rather fashionable exterior end of
gentlemanly address, named James Dick, whose
relatives are stated to reside at Hull, was placed at
the bar before Mr. a'Beckett for further examination,
charged with defrauding a vast number of hotel-keepers
and publicans in the metropolis of refreshments and
money by means of false cheques.
About twenty publicans were in attendance to
identify the prisoner, besides a vast number of trades-
men who had experienced losses by such a character.
Mr. Jones, the landlord of the White Lion, Tooley-
street, said the prisoner entered his house between
six and seven in the evening of Thursday week. He
said that he,had just come from Brighton togo on with
slaw-suit, and that he:should want to be accommodated
with a bed for a week or ten days. He had no luggage
with him, but stated that it would be sent to him. A
bed was provided for the " gentleman," and he was
supplied with a hearty supper and plenty of liquids on
that evening. On the following morning he had some
spirits in bed, and when he descended witness asked him
about the payment of his score. Prisoner replied that he
had no loose cash, but that he would give him a cheque
on his bankers at Brighton, which he could get
cashed on the following morning. He then gave
witness a cheque on the Brighton Branch of the Lon •
don and County Bank for 31. 2s. ; and on the faith of
that he supplied him with more refreshments. Wit-
ness afterwards had some suspicion about the cheque,
and knowing one of the railway guards, he got him
to present it at the banker's in the morning. The
prisoner, not being aware of his intention, remained
at the house all day eating and drinking like an
alderman, and while he was eating his supper the
railway guard entered the coffee- room and informed
witness that the cheque was dishonoured, inasmuch as
there were "no effects." Being satisfied that he had
to do with a regular victimizer, he called in a police-
man and gave him into custody. The prisoner told
him he was a man of great property, and that he was
a hop-merchant.
Mr. John Denison, Czar's Head, Great Tower-
street, City, said the prisoner came to his house on
the evening of the 14th of October, and asked to be
accommodated with a bed for a week or ten days.
Witness, after consulting with his wife, agreed to let
him a sleeping apartment, on condition that he paid
for everything as he ordered it. After the prisoner
had been in the house a few hours, he found he had
run up a score ; consequently he went to him, and
spoke to him about it. The prisoner called him on
one side, and informed him "that he had come from
the country on the previous day, and foolishly went
to the theatre, where he was robbed of ten sovereigns,
all the money he was possessed of. He, however,
would pay him in a day or two." The prisoner,
with the greatest nonchalance, pulled from his side
pocket a cheque-book and a banker's--book. He wrote
him a cheque for 11. 10s. on the Brighton Bank, and
handed it to him in payment of what he might
require. The prisoner also showed him his banker's.
book, which made it appear that he had 1301. in his
favour in the banker's hands.

Mr. A'BECKETT—Did you supply him with goods
on the faith of the cheque ? witness—l did, Sir.
More especially after he showed me the banker's book.
Police-constable 145 Al produced the latter, and on
examination the date of the deposits had been altered
from 1846 to 1849. He understood the prisoner bad
kept an account there in 1846.
_ _

Mr. Scales, manager to Mr. Ford, the landlord of
the Bell Tavern, Old Bailey, said, the prisoner paid
him a visit on the 30th of October, and asked to be
accommodated with a bed. Believing him to be a
respectable person his wishes were complied with, and
on the next morning he sent for some rum to his bed-
room. Such conduct roused his suspicion, and he
asked the prisoner for a settlement of his account,
when he gave witness a cheque on the Brighton Bank
for 31. as security for the payment. Witness sent it
to Brighton, but before he had a reply the prisoner
"hooked it."—(Laughter.) He also showed witness
his banker's book, and on the faith of that he feasted
on the best the house afforded.

Mr. Gardiner, the landlord of the Union Tavern,
Union-street, Blackfriars, said the prisoner visited
him on the 6th of October, and victimized him out of
property in a similar way, by giving him a cheque on
the Brighton Bank, on prcsenting which it turned out
that there were no effects.

Mr. ATECKETT —I am afraid rcan't take cogiizlnce
of your case, as you live in the City.
Prisoner here exclaimed that Mr. Gardiner held
property of his worth 5/.

- Mr. Gardiner—All I have are two carpet-bags,
containing rags and rubbish not worth a farthing.
Mr. A'I3ECKETT—Are there any more cases com-
mitted in Surrey ? Police constable—Mr. Harris, of
the Nag's Head, in the Borough, has been victimized
out of 4/. 10s. in the same way by the prisoner, but
he was not able to attend to-day.
Mr. 'Watson, the landlord of the Barley-mow
Hotel, Salisbury-court, Fleet. street, stepped forward
and informed the magistrate he had been a victim to
a great extent, but he took no cheque of the prisoner.
He represented to him that he was worth consider-
able property in Hull, and thatin a few days his
wife and father would come up to London arid join
him. After getting considerably into his debt he
bolted, but witness followed him up, and detected him
in another swindling transaction, when he was
brought up at that court, but discharged, owing to
the absence of the principal prosecutor.
A number of other publicans came forward from
the Middlesex side of the water, when the magistrate
said he should remand the prisoner until Monday,
as he had no doubt many others would come forward
from the Surrey side to prosecute him.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded until
Monday next.

ACCIDENT TO THE CHINESE EXHIBITION.—We
regret to report that a serious accident occurred to this
celebrated exhibition on its passage northwards to
Edinburgh from this town by the North British Rail-
way, on Saturday morning last. When the train,
which consisted of fifteen large carriages, with a truck
between each, had arrived at Flemington, only a few
miles north of this town, the foremost carriage came
violently- in collision with one of the bridges, breaking it
and the succeeding carriage and their contents in pieces.
It is stated that the damage dune is very considerable
—amounting to 1,5001. or 2,000/., but we should
think this sum is somewhat over-stated. The
train, on Saturday, proceeded as far as Reston
where it remained during Sunday. The journey was
resumed on Monday, and by the evening the train
reached Dunbar, which it left early on Tuesday morn.
ing, and arrived in safety at St. Margaret's station,
Edinburgh, in the afternoon. The passage of the train
below the bridges was generally effected by the temporary
alter ition of the rails, so as to enable it to attain the
centre of the arch. From the breadth of the vans the
platforms at almost every station had to be removed, but
scarcely any delay was occasioned to the ordinary trains
on the line. The horse-bores, . luggage vans, and other
carriages formed separEtte train,--,Berwick Warder. I

BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES, ST. PANCRAS.-01/
Monday, pursuant to public announcement, a meeting of
the ratepayers of St. Peueras, convened by the vestry,
took place at the new Vestry Rooms, for the purpose of
considering the propriety of adopting the Baths and
Wash-houses Act, 9th and 10:h Victoria, cap. 74. The
R.v. Thomas Dale, the vicar, presided. Mr. Church-
warden Healey moved, " ihat the Act of 9th and 10th
Victoria, for the encouragement ot baths and wash-
houses, be adopted," which was seconded by Mr. Church-
warden Fraser. Mr. Brettingham moved an amendment
to the effect " that in the present state of the parish
finances it is not expedient to mortgage the rates for
the purpose of establishing baths and wash-houses till
the parish have unquestionab:e evidence of the safe work-
ing of the system in other pal ishes. That in the opinion
of the meeting, the most effectual relief to the people of
England, in a moral, social, and sanitary point of view,
would be a remission of the soap and window duties--
taxes essentially war taxes, and which have been con-
tinued during the longest peace on record, to the great
injury of the health and morality of the people." Mr.
Ivo seconded the amendment. The Rev. Chairman
refused to put the latter part of the amendment, and
Mr. Brettingham withdrew it. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton,
Mr. Dyke, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Darlington, and the Rev. D.
Laing having spoken, the question was put, and the
amenment declared to be carried. A division took
place, when there appeared for the amendment eighty-
nine, for the proposal seventy; majority for rejecting
the proposal nineteen. After thanks to the chairman
the meeting separated.
CAUTION TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS •ND
OTHERS.—On Thursday evening last, a man of some-
what respectable exterior, and apparently a mechanic of
the better sort, engaged a bed at a coffee-house in the
neighbourhood ot Brompton, and next morning de-
camped, taking with him the sheets from off the bed on
which he slept, as well as a pair of boots belonging to
a lodger in an adjoining apartment. The individual
in ques!ion is apparently about thirty years of age, of
middle height, with dark hair and eyes, and whisker,
extending under the chin; and was dressed in a dark
blue frock coat, black satin waistcoat, and corduroy
trousers, and carried a small bundle, tied up in a hand-
lc, 'Thief.

IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANT.—The
half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday
at the London Tavern. Mr. J. Walker was in the chair.
The report of the directors stated that the receipts for

[ADVERTISEMENT 3—A Sufferer from Severe De'
biliry and a Shattered Constitution cured by Holloway's Pills.
_Mr. 1-teintjes van Veerssen, a merchant, residing at Nyrne-:
gen, t Holland, had been suffering for years from a general
debility ; his strength had become so prostrated that he was
quite incapable of attending to any kind of husiness; hiscon-
stitution was rapidly giving way, notwithstanding the efforts
the cleverest medical men to arrest the decline. At this crisis
he commenced taking Holloway's Pills, and by their use his
health and strength are perfectly re-establiAed, in gratitude
for which blessing he desires that publicity be given to it, that
others may seek relief by the same means.—Sold by all Drug-
gists and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,
London.
