DOBSON V. LYALI..

The Lonn CHANCELLon gave judgment to-day in this case
dismissing the apia,al with costs.

THE DEAN OF ELY V. BLISS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave juiguient in this case,
directing the same case that had been tried before the Court
of Exchequer to be brought before the Court of Common
Phase.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

CROSS •. CROBB.

The arguments in this cause were concluded to-day.
His LORDSHIP delivered judgment. This was a will in
which nothing was clear, and he did not believe that any
two persons could be found who would come to the same
conclusion in reference to it. He considered that upon the
true construction of the will it must be considered that the
widow of the testator was entitled to both his real and per-
sonal estate. With respect to the argument that had been
raised that morning with respect to the construction of the
word " advancement" which occurred in the will, the
meaning of that word, in the acceptation of the Court, was a
gift beforehand of what a party was entitled to afterwards.
That being the case, it followed that it was a gift subject
to legacies. Then came another part of the question,
the concluding paragraph of the will commencing with the
words "And lastly." He considered that that was to be
construed with reference to the preceding clauses, and not
with respect to the whole will. The only exception to that
was what related to Mrs. Bush's three children, and that
created some doubt as to that interpretation. Upon that
point he thought he was not called on to deter-
mine
then. He would, under all the circumstances of the
case, make a declaration on this point in the sense in which
he had just stated. There was no question arising about the
maintenance of the child of Mr. Cross, and he thought Mrs.
Cross must allow her aged parents 501. a year. He thought
she ought also, though not compelled to do so, to pay the
legacies of Mrs. Bush's children.
On the application of Mr. Turner, his LORDSHIP directed
that the cost of all parties should come out of the estate.

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Vlcs-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE EXETER AND CREDITOR RAILWAY COMPANY V. BULLER.
The arguments in this motion for dissolving the injunc-
tion were resumed and concluded to-day.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment, ordering the in-
junction to be continued, and refusing the motion fur its dis-
solution with costs.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
THE QUEEN V. IRAMAN,-..CERTIORAILL —ASSAULT UPON A
BOY BY A SCHOOLMASTER.
Sir J. BAYLEY applied to the Court on behalf of the Rev.
J. Iraman, the head master of the Grantham Grammar-
school, for a certiorari, to bring up an indictment preferred
against him at the Borough Sessions of Grantham, for an
assault upon a boy while in the act of punishing him for some
misconduct. It appeared that the schoolmaster, Dr. Iraman.
had been summoned by a gentleman named Payne, for an
assault upon his son, who happened to be one of Dr. Ira-
man's scholars. When the case came on to be heard, the
justices were of opinion, that as the parties stood in the rela-
tion of muter and scholar, and as the assault coin-

plained of was made for the purposes of discipline,
that the case should go to same of the superior
c,,~ god an indictment -ws.+ preferred a:- the
BJrougii Sessions. Great excitement prevailed in the bo-
rough, a committee had been appointed to inquire into the
rules established by the head master, and a petition had been
presented by the Bishop of Lincoln praying for inquiry into
the same subject. The applicant considered, that in conse-
quence of the strong feeling awakened with reference to the
case in the borough, he would not have a fair trial, so he
accprdingly made au application to the Court.
Rule granted.

IVIARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
James Fisher, a ruffianly looking fellow, was charged by
Mr. John Harvey, landlord of the Phoenix Tavern, Stacey-
street, Soho, with obtaining four pots of porter, and refusing
to pay for them.
Complainant stated that on the previous afternoon, about
four o'clock, the prisoner, with four others, entered his house,
and called for four pots of porter. Not knowing the character
of the men, the beer was supplied to them. Witness was
subs,quently informed that the prisoner and his companions
belonged to a regular gang of what are termed " mouchas,"
that is fellows who are in the hanit of visiting various public
hou4es, and after partaking of refreshments, refused to pay,
and invariably assaulted the persons who obstructed them in
their nefarious proceedings. Witness, therefore, demanded
payment for the porter, when he was assailed with the
grosse.st abuse imaginable. The prisoner's companions made
their escape, but witness detained the prisoner till a police
constable arrived and took charge of him.
Police constable 124 F, said lie was on duty in Stacey-
street, on the previous afternoon, when he was called by last
witness to take charge of the prisoner, for refusing to pay for
some porter which he had partaken of. On their way to the
station-house the prisoner kicked him on the leB,. several
times, and attempted to knock him down.
Lester, the deputy gaoler, recognised the prisoner as be-
longing to a gang who have long been in the habit of vic-
timising the various publicans and cifree-houses in the
metropolis.
The prisoner, who treated the charge with the greatest in-
difference, was committed to the House of Correction for
one Month, and hard labour.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)
TILE STEPNEY MUaDEß.—Henry Jones Harrison was
brought up for final examination, charged with a murderous
assault upon the person of Ann Ford.
It will be remembered that about a fortnight since Harri-
son, in a fit of intoxication, kicked and:beat the poor creature
in a most brutal manner, and although she was immediately
placed under the care of Dr. Cleland, from whom she received
every attention, she lingered till Sunday morning last, when
she expired.
The evidence this day merely corroborated the particulars
which have already appeared in The Sun of the 2d instant.
Mr. BALLANTIN. II particularly questioned the principal
witness, Mrs. Ince, the landlady of the house where the pri-
soner and the deceased lodged, as to any cause of quarrel
that might huve existed, but she declared that she did not
know of any.
Dr. Cleland, in addition to his former evidence, stated that
on a post-mortem examination of the body he found the peri-
toneum very red and inflamed; this was immediately over
the part where it was stated in evidence that the prisoner had
kicked her. There were few external marks of violence.
The gall bladder was ruptured, and the body being otherwise
in a healthy condition, in his opinion, this was the primary
cause of death.

The prisoner made no defence, and
Mr. BALLANTINE said he should commit him to take his
trial on the capital charge, and directed Mr. Symons, the
chief clerk, to take the depositions.
