CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after disposing of the un-
°PPosed lunatic petitions in his paper, proceeded to
hear the further arguments in the part-heard appeal
motion of
COTIIER V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. J. PARKER replied today in this case, and
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment.
CROCKETT 0. CROCKETT.
This case came before the Court upon appeal from
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The
facts of the case may he shortly stated as follows :
J. Crockett, by his will, dated Macao, 15th March,
1831, directed " that all and every part of his pro-
perty should be at the disposal of his most true and
lawful wife, Caroline Crockett, for herself and her
children in the event of any unforeseen accident hap-
Pening to himself. The testator died at Macao
in June, 1837, leaving Caroline Crockett, his
Widow, and five children surviving; and soon
afterwards wiministration of the testator's estate,
With the will annexed, was granted to the
IW,ovv by the proper authorities at Macao.
epternber, 1837, the widow, who had been ad-
to
'?ised that, under the will, she was absolutely entitled
ethe whole of the testator's property to her own use,
xecuted a voluntary deed, whereby, after directing
sum of 15,000/, to be remitted to this c6untry,
she settled that sum upon trust for herself for life, if
she should so long remain unmarried, and after her
deaththe
died testator. One of the children afterwards
, and the bill was filed by the four surviving
children against the widow for an account of the
testators estate, and praying a declaration that
the children were entitled under the will to the tes-
tator's property jointly with the widow, and that
the deed of September, 1837, was not binding upon
Cthem. At the hearing of the cause in 1841, thc
ourt made a declaration that the children took an
interest in Possession in the testator's property at his
decease, under the testator's will, and that the deed
of September, 1837, was not binding upon them ;
and directed that the whole income of the testator's
residuary estate should be paid to the mother during
the infancy of the children, or until further order,
she maintainingand educatingthem in a propermanner.
-Upon the eldest of the children attaining his majority
he presented the present petition to the Court, for a
transfer of his portion of the fund, and upon the
hearing of the petition the question was, whether the
word " disposal" in the will conferred upon the widow
the power of distributing the capital of the fund
amongst the children, or whether she was en-
titled thereby only to the care and custody
of the income belonging to the children during
their minorities. The Vice-Chancellor Wigram
held that the widow and her children took a joint in-
terest in the residuary estate of the testator, and,
after directing the portion of the petitioner to be paid
to him, ordered that the direction which he had pre-
viously made should be continued as to the mother
and the infant children, and from that judgment the
Present appeal was brought.
Mr. Walker and Mr. Busk appeared for the appel-
lant, and Mr. Romilly and Mr. _Bounden Palmer were
counsel for the respondents.
-The case on behalf of the appellants had not con-
cluded when his Lordship rose, shortly after two
o'clock, to attend the pricking for sheriffs in the
Court of Exchequer.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(TIIIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
SOUTHAMPTON, MANCHESTER, AND OXFORD JUNCTION
RAILWAY SCHEME.—PORSONS V. MUNTZ AND OTHERS.
This was a bill filed by the plaintiff, praying for a
decree ordering the defendant to pay him a sum of
89,71. 9s. 11d.
PTR PARKER opened the case, and, from the
'Aearned Gentleman's statement, it appeared that the
who is a solicitor, projected in August, 1845,
a scheme called the Southampton, Manchester, and
OOxford Junction Railway. The undertaking was
19th vert iced, and being favourably received, on the
of August, 1845, the necessary preliminaries,
entering it at the Register-office, &c., were made. A
the eeting of those favourable to the project was held on
27th of the same month, when a full statement of
the probable return that the shareholders would
obtain from the scheme was made by Mr. Parsons,
which was so satisfactory that a resolution was agreed
to approving of the project. A provisional committee,
of which the defendant was a member, was appointed,
and they appointed a sub-committee. The defendants
consented to act, and had done so ever since. It was
also resolved that the committee thus appointed should
not be held personally responsible for any costs that
might be incurred in the formation of the company,
which should be defrayed out of the funds that might
be subscribed. Mr. Parsons continued to act as soli-
citor of the company, and incurred considerable ex-
penses. Several applications were made for shares,
of which a considerable number were allotted, and a
deposit of 2/. 2s. paid on each share. The capital
required for the undertaking was 1,200,000/., to
which 40,000/. had been subscribed. On the 9th of
November, 1845, the plaintiff was superseded and
directed to send in his account, which he accordingly
did, claiming 897/. 9s. 11d. 2001. of that sum was
Paid him, and the present bill was then filed. It ap-
peared that, subsequent to the filing of the bill, the
defendants tendered the plaintiff a sum of 400/. in
liquidation of his demand, which he refused. The
defendants, in their answer, alleged that they were
not personally liable, and that the plaintiff had not
established his claim.
(The case had not concluded when our report left.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco )
The Court took the demurrer paper this morning ;
) ease of public interest came on for argument. The
Court rose at an early hour, in order to attend the

wo is bankrupt described as of Neithrop, Oxford,
olstapler, came up to pass his last examination,
which had been adjourned for further accounts.
It appeared that he had carried on business for 40
Years, doing business to the extent formerly cf

a had banked with the sae firm for 20 3 ears, and
hei m

Dankruptcy. His present debts are about 1,0001.,
and the assets about 300/., but it is expected that

which event the estate will pay 20s. in the pound, and
leave a surplus.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Beore Mr. Secondary POTTER )
GIBSON V. SHAW.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
71. for rent.
The defendant p! ended that he was not indebted.
It appeared by tbe evidence that in 1845 the de-
fendant took pirt of a warehouse in Stoney-lane,
Borough, at the yeexly rent of 301., hut he ultimately
shut up the p'ace an d sent the key to the plaintiff,
who accepted it, arLd now sought to recover the
quarter then becomir g due. It was proved that the
defendant now resid..ed within the city of London, in
which place he admitted the debt.
The defence was, that the action being for rent the
venue was local and. ,ought to have been laid in Sur-
rey, where there WfV3 a county court. In reply, it
was urged that the admission in the City formed a
good ground of action, and justified its being brought
in the superior court, as at the time the writ was
issued the new Act :for recovering small debts in the
Sheriffs' Court, Lon don, had not passed.
The Learned SEC ONDARY held in favour of plain-
tiff, but said that 1:1'1e point as to whether an action
for use and occupa.ti:on was local was open for argu-
ment before the Co art above, and he would retain the
writ for four days ;7or that purpose.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
DAY.)

Anne J 07103, a yottng girl of very lady-like appar-
ance and address, aild whose connexions were said to
be most respectabte, was indicted for feloniously
attempting to steal a purse from the person of a
woman whose narn,e is unknown, at the 'Paddington
terminus of the Gre a t Western Railway.
Th 2 charge against the prisoner depended solely
upon the testimony ()If one of the company's officers,
who stated that shortly after the arrival of the train
from Bristol, and at :a time when there were a number
of passengers in Übe station he saw the prisoner
standing beside a'tidy who was leaning over the
balcony, and saw h el? put her right hand into the
lady's pocket, what he seized hold of her arm
before she had time to withdraw it. She
had no luggage with her. Upon taking her
into custody, she,, offered to take the officer
to her residence, and prove to him that she was
a most respectable person, but he declined, and took
her to the station- house, where she was searched, and
two gold watches &und upon her, besides a quantity
of other property, with respect to the acquirement of
which she atfordocl the most satisfactory account,
having stated where she bought the watches, which
was found, upon in quiry, to be true. When asked
where she came from, by the train, she said, " From
Liverpool."

Mr. Sergeant W:ILKINs addressed the jury for the
defence.

The ASSISTANT-J UDGE summed up, and the jury,
after a lengthened deliberation, returned a verdict of
Not Guilty, to the evident satisfaction of a very
crowded court.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Cunningham was brought before Mr.
Arnold, charged with being found in the public
street in a state .of nudity, at half-past two o'clock
this morning.

Police-constable 110 II stated that he was proceed-
ing on his beat at the above time, in Coventry-street,
llile-end-road, when his attention was directed to an
entire suit of man's wearing apparel, hung upon
some iron railings in regular succession before seve-
ral of the boat:es—first, a hat, then a coat and waist-
coat, next a pair of trousers, and lastly, a pair of
shoes and stockings. He at once removed them, and
had not proceeded many yards ere he perceived a man
naked with the exception of his shirt, which was
adhering to his skin, in consequence of the torrents
of rain, which was then pouring down, having
thoroughly saturated it, and well-nigh drowned him-
self. lie was conveyed to the station-house at
Spitalfields, where he was properly attended to by
Sergeant Coleman and others, but a considerable
time had elapsed before he was made conscious of
what had happened.
The unfortunate man appeared to be still labour-
ing under the effects of what he hal endured, and
The 'MAGISTRATE discharged him with an ad-
monition.

LAMBETH.--(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Plum, clerk to the guardians of the poor of
St. Giles's, Camberwell, applied to Mr. Norton for
upwards of thirty summonses against the owners of
houses in Bukley-street, Peckham New-town, for
nuisance. lie stated that the place was rendered a
focus of pestilence by the extraordinary negligence of
the inhabitants and their landlords. The houses were
all occupied by Irish people of the lowest order, who
had imported and adhered to the habits of their own
country, A filthy pool of stagnant water extended
the whole length of the street, and sometimes over-
flowed into the houses. The parochial authorities
had in vain remonstrated, although the inhabitants
themselves were sufferers, as the place was seldom
without fever. Sedgely, the beadle, stated that there
were at present sixteen cases of fever in the locality.
, he whole district was in danger of contagion.
Mr. NORTON immediately granted the summonses.

DREADFUL CALAMITY.— CINCINNATI, OCT. 15.
The Fashville papers just received bring intelligence of
an awful calamity at that place, the effects of the storm
on Tuesdcy evening last. The lightning struck the
powder magazine, causing an awful explosion. The re-
port was equal to the loudest earthquake. The destruc-
tion of lift? and property was immense-100 houses were
destroyed or injured, and tea dead bodies have been
already taken from the ruins.
PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. This
Society have deposited two powerful levers at the South-
wark side of London-bridge for the gratuitous use of
carmen whose shaft.horses may fall down in descending
the dangerous declivity from Tooley-street to Welling•
ton street, to raise the load from off the poor animals
and enable them to rise.
A portion of Pranconi's celebrated equestrian
troupe, from Paris, consisting of seventy-five ladies and
gentleman and twenty-four splendid horses, arrived at
the St. liu.therine'sswharf yesterday by the General
Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Venezuela,
from Havre.
PaODUCE OF THE URAL MINEs.---The Oesterreichis-
cher Beobuchter states that the produce of the Crown
and private mines in the Ural, during the first six
months of the present year was 166 poods of gold and
29 of platina.
THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yes-
terday evening a meeting of the committee and members
of the above institution was held at the Freemasons'
Tavern, for the transaction of business, and confirming
the rules. The report congratulated the supporters of
the charity on the great success which, considering the
shortness of time it has been established, the committee
had met with ; the treasurer reporting that he had paid
into the hands of the bankers, on account of the Relief
Fund, 2454 9s. 10d., and on account of the Building
Fund. 163/. Ils. 6d., making a total of 4091. Is. 4d. The
report concluded with expressing a hope that it was only
necessary to announce to the masters of the different
branches of the building trade that such an institution
exists, to insure support. Amongst the subscribers are
William Cubitt, Esq., M.P., S. M. Peto, Esq , &c.
PERSHORE.—ACCIDENT.—On the night' of Wed-
nesday last a temporary bridge, which had been erected
for the purpose of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway works, near Wyre Piddle, fell in. A
gentleman, who was travelling from Evesham in his gig,
in the darkness of the night, very narrowly escaped
driving into the chasm, and it is almost wonderful that
no fatal :accident ,occurred during the night. Oa the
following day a boy was posted near the spot, to warn
off travellers to take a more circuitous route. We un-
derstand that the accident was attributable to the work-
men having incautiously undermined the supporters of
the bridge.—Worcestershire Chronicle.
SHOOTING IN GLEN-URQUHART.—On Saturday
last, Lord Reidhaven gave a battue in the principal
covers surrounding the house of Balmacaan. The party
were in all four guns, viz. his Lordship, the lion. George
Stuart, Brodie J)unn, Esq., of Milton .Brodie, and
Francis Palmer, Esq. The sport commenced at ten
o'clock, and between that hour and four, the party
bagged 312 head, consisting of pheasants, hares, rabbits,
and 12 woodcocks. The shooting gives great credit to
Mr. Stewart, gmckeeper to Lord Reidhaven, for his
having succeeded in rearing so fine a stock of game
(pheasants being unknown in this glen three years ago),
as well as for the admirable way in which he conducted
the battue, with a large number of beaters.—lnverness

A NEW SOPRANO.--We perceive by the Dublin
papers that Mr. Allen, the accomplished tenor, has in-
troduced a pupil of his own to the stage, in the person
of Miss Julia Harland; and that the success of the
young lady has been complete. Her voice is described
as a soprano of considerable strength and exquisite
sweetness. The opera selected for her debut at the
Theatre Royal was the Sonnambula, in which she sus-
tained the character of Amina to the Elvin° of her pre-
ceptor, and according to the Dublin critics she has
achieved a great triumph. Since the opening night
Lucia di L(111111161171007' and Loder's Night Dancers have
been produced to crowded audiences, and Mr. Calcraft,
thu manager, has offered terms to induce Mr. Allen and
his fair pupil to prolong their stay.
DARING HIG 'MAY ROBBE RIES,—On Thursday
evening last, near Wolverhampton, Mr. John Griffiths,
of the Oak Farm Iron Works, was attacked by high-
waymen and robbed ; a few minutes before Mr. Phillips,
jun., of Penn, escaped from the same party through the
spirit of his horse. On Friday Mr. George Borrason,
of
Bobbington, ou his return from Stourhridge, was at-
tacked and robbed by well armed highwaymen, near
Ashwood, Kingswinford. Three men are in custody
for this latter outrage.
