LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
HEAP v. COMMISSIONERS OF CHURCHES.
This matter was argued at great length on Friday and Satur-
day. The question arose upon a contract entered into between
Mr. Heap, a builder (a highly respectable man, but reduced to
ruined circumstances, as was stated by his contract with the de-
fendants) and the Commissioners for Building Churches. The
contract was in writing, and the question was whether a clause or
proviso in that contract did or did pot in the amount named
cover the extras ? The Vice„Chancellor was of opinion that it
did, and his Lordship confirmed that judgment.
Mr. AGAR said that this was in fact a declaration that his on.
fortunate client was without remedy—a declaration made by one
of the Commissioners themselves,.though quasi Lord Chancellor.
It was also to be recollected that the money the Commissioners
had was public money.
His LORDSHIP observed that as it was said to be a case of
hardship, he would, as a Commissioner, and upon a memorial
presented to him, recalling the circumstances to his mind, give
the case his very utmost and best attention—ultimately recorn.
mending or abstaining from recommending something to be
done for Mr. Heap as it should appear to him to be right.
Mr. AGAR thanked his Lordship, and said this was all he
wished.

Nothing of particular importance occurred In any of the other
Courts of Law up to the period when our reporters left.

SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

BEN HYAM, THE TURK.
It will be recollected that a woman, named Sarah Clapham,
was committed for trial for robbing this person of half* sove-
reign, and because the poor prosecutor, from being an utter
stranger in this country, could not find sureties for Ms appear.
ance at these Sessions to prosecute, the Magistrate, G. W.
Marriott, Esq., committed him to gaol, to remain there until the
Sessions should take place. The attention of the public was
first drawn to this arbitrary though legal act of injustice by this
paper, and upon its coming to the knowledge of the Secretary of
State, an order was issued for his liberation upon the usual
terms, to appear and prosecute. Ben Hyarn did appear to pre-
fer the bill, but the Grand Jury ignored it, and he applied this
morning for his expences for the loss of time, including the
week's confinement in prison, which the Court readily granted
him.

Mary Anne Taylor, wife of Robert Taylor, a female of very
respectable appearance, was indicted for stealing a valuable coral
necklace and gold snap from the shop of Mr. John Griffiths,
pawnbroker and silversmith, in Ossulston-street, St. Pancras.
The witnesses on both sides were ordered out of Court.
Mr. BACON stated the case for the prosecution,
Mr. CHAMBERS attended for the prisoner,
It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that on the
11th June, between one and two o'clock, the prisoner went into
the prosecutor's shop to redeem a watch ; the shopman put down
a coral necklace which he had been cleaning, to serve her with
the watch, and after she left the shop the necklace also was
missing. The same evening she pawned it for IL ss. at the shop
of Mr. Nottley, a pawnbroker in the Borough, giving her real
name and address.
The defence of the prisoner was, that shereceived the necklace
from a person in payment of rent, and she denied having been
at all in prosecutor's shop, She called a witness who swore that
at ten minutes after one o'clock on the day of the
robbery, he
saw her in the Borough, three or four miles from the prosecutor's.
The witness was being cross,examined when our reporter left.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We give the following details by the brig Eliza, arrived at
Havre on the 25th June, after a short passage from Pernambuco :
" On the Oth of May a Brazilian brig of war left Rio Janeiro
and arrived at Pernambuco, announcing the abdication of lion
Pedro. The news was received with the greatest joy by the
Brazilians, and no disturbances took place atter sending off the
General of the Army, the Grand Judge, and the Commandant of
the Garrison. The troops and the militia went to Olenda
to join the students, whose independent opinions were known.
Soon after the troops were seen to return, joined by the students,
headed with music, wearing the yellow and green cockade in
their hats ; the inhabitants of Pernambuco joined them, pro-
claiming their joy throughout the town. Some few days previous
to this movement the Portuguese party attempted to insult the
French, whom they met with the tricoloured cockade, but the
moment the events of Rio were known, the French colours were
respected. No excesses were committed in the revolution of
Pernambuco."
