LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Aug. 14.
(Before Sir L. SIIIBITELL.)
PITMAN V. BURGE.

11:fr. lilovin moved for an injunction to restrain the de-
fendants, Mr. Burge, Queen's Counsel, and Messrs. Ben-
ning and Co., law publishers, from printing, publishing,
selling or disposing of a book called "Commentaries on
the Law of Suretyship, and the Rights and Obligations
of the Parties thereto," or of any other book containing
passages copied or taken from the plaintiff's work
called " A Treatise on the Law of Principal and Surety."
It appeared from the affidavit read in support of the
motion, that the defendant's work, which was published
in June last, contained many passages taken verbatim,
and many others colourable altered, from the plaintiff's
work, which was published in June, 1840.
His HONOUR having inspected copies of each of the
above works, immediately granted the injunction in the
terms of the motion.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 16.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONDLANQUE.)
IN RE COGHILL.
This insolvent, who was a surveyor in Aylesbury,
came up for his interim order.
The debts are about 404 He petitioned this Court
some time back, and in due time came up for a hearing.
It appeared that he had accepted a bill for his brother
whilst in insolvent circumstances. The first petition,
owing to an informality in the wording, was dismissed.
Having been several weeks in prison, he was released
upon agreeing to pay off the debt in instalments of 5/.
each. He paid the first instalment, but failing to pay
the second was arrested again and thrown into prison.
He again petitioned the Court, and this being the day
appointed for the hearing of his interim order, he was
brought up in the custody of the gaoler of Aylesbury
prison.
Atter hearing the case, the Commissioner adjourned
the meeting for a month.
The gaoler applied to the Court for the costs he had
incurred in bringing the insolvent from Aylesbury to
the court, in obedience to the order of the Commissioner.
He hoped his Honour would grant him the money he
had been out of pocket.
The COMMISSIONER said he could not interfere.
The gaoler asked if he was to be at the loss of the
railway fare from Aylesbury up and down, and the in-
solvent's maintenance.
The CommlssioNEß said he could not interfere, as
the. -were no assets.
The gaoler said it was an extremely hard case. If he
disobeyed the order of the court he might be punished
legally, and by obeying it he was money out of pocket.
The COMMISSIONER said there was no fund from which
he could order his expenses.
The gaoler said he supposed he must put up with the
loss.
The insolvent was taken back to Aylesbury prison.
It seems singular that some provision was not made
fur a case of this sort, but it is not likely to occur again,
as on and after the 16th of next month insolvents like
this will, under the new Act, which will then come into
operation, be dealt with in the districts in which they
are imprisoned.
EXTENSIVE FAILURES IN THE CORN TRADE.
It was yesterday rumoured that several heavy cases of
failures in the corn trade will shortly come before this
court. A fiat was yesterday opened before Mr. Com-
missioner Fonblanque in a case in which it was said the
debts and liabilities are very heavy, occasioned by specu-
lations in corn. We forbear mentioning the name of the
house, although the fiat was opened in public court, as it
may, according to the law, be superseded within the next
five days.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Charles Smith, a maker of stamps for cutting out arti-
ficial flowers, about forty years of age, was charged with
stabbing his wife with a file.
Jane Smith, the wife, stated that on Friday afternoon
her husband came home rather inebriated, and went to
sleep, telling her to wake him in an hour. She did so,
and the tea was then ready. While they were at tea
there was some quarrelling between them, he alleging
that he had brought some work home, and that she had
hidden it, when in fact he had not done so. After strik-
ing her one or two blows she left the room, but he over-
took her at the top of the stairs and wounded her with a
file. She did not know whether he made a thrust with
his hand or threw it at her, as she did not look back,
but it stuck in her back. When she got down stairs she
pulled it out. Blood flowed from the wound, and he
went for a doctor.

Mr. Alderman JOHNSON asked her if she struck him
before he struck her ? She said she did not strike him
at all.

Alexander Baxter, a shoemaker, lodging in the same
house, No. 31, Monkwell-street, Cripplegate, stated that
he works on the ground-floor, and on Friday evening,
about seven o'clock, heard there was a disturbance be-
tween Smith and his %vile on the second-floor, which was
not an unfrequent occurrence. He heard something fall.
Then there was some more quarrelling, and he heard
Mrs. Smith run down stairs making a moaning noise.
On reaching the passage she exclaimed, " Oh, Baxter,
he has done it at last," and she showed him the file. He
took her into his back parlour, and looked for the wound.
As she seemed about to swoon he expected she had re-
ceived a severe injury. The prisoner came down stairs,
and witness told him he had hurt her, and to be a man
and fetch some warm water. He did so, and witness
washed the wound. The husband seemed agitated.
Perhaps he thought witness exposed too much of her
back. The prisoner suddenly gave his wife a blow in
the face, which made her nose bleed a little. A po-
liceman passed just as the prisoner had done this, and
was going away smoking. Witness called him in, and
(after ascertaining that the wife did not wish to make a
charge against him) the officer sent the husband for a
surgeon.
Mr. Childs, of Fore-street, the surgeon to the police
force, stated that he was called in to see Mrs. Smith, and
found she had received an oblique punctured wound in
the back, close to the border of the shoulder-blade. The
wound was an inch in depth, and extended rather
übliquely towards the spine. He considered the wound
important as regarded its locality. It was such a wound
as a triangular file would make. Its entrance was
situated immediately over a large and important artery.
Had the instrument not struck against the shoulder-
blade, this artery must have been wounded as well as
the right lung, and the results serious.
John Skews, a City police-constable, stated that he
found the woman lying on a bed in the back parlour.
After putting a few questions to her he sent the hus-
band for a surgeon, He afterwards ran himself for a
surgeon, and met the prisoner coming back. The ser-
geant came up at the moment, and ordered the prisoner
into custody. The prisoner said he meant to strike her
with his band, not the file.

The prisoner, who seemed much concerned, declined
putting any questions or offering any defence, but he
denied that he struck her in the face.

The wife said she did not wish to press the charge;
she had furgiven him.
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said he could not overlook it.
He should commit the prisoner for trial for feloniously
wounding his wife with intent to do her some grievous
bodily harm; and directed the City Solicitor to conduc
the prosecution.—The prisoner was committed to New
gate.
