LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Feb. 24.
The Lord Chancellor sat iu his Court in the Old Hall,
Lincoln's Inn to-day.
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY V. NOTT AND GAMBLE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, in which the arguments were concluded on Friday last.
Our readers will recollect that the case came before his
Lordship upon an appeal motion from the decision of the
Vice-Chancellor of England, directing the plaintiffs, the
Electric Telegraph Company, to bring an action to try the
validity of their patents, and ordering a motion which they
had made for an injunction to restrain the defendants from
pirating their patents, to stand over until the action had
been tried. His Lordship, in giving judgment, said that
the great importance of the matter to the parties concerned,
and the interesting nature of the invention to the public, had
led him to pause before he pronounced his judgment. He
had frequently hal occasion to express his opinion as to the
course the Court ought to pursue in cases in which applica-
tions were made to its equitable jurisdiction, by way of in-
junction, where that injunction was in aid and protection of
a legal right. Upon those occasions his Lordship had said
that where the Court was applied to to protect a legal right,
if there was a doubt as to the validity of that right, it be-
came the Court to be extremely cautious in administering
its equitable jurisdiction; because if an injunction was
improperly granted, more mischief would be effected than by
delaying io grant it. It had been said that in stating this
he bad carried the principles of the Court much further than
they had ever Lien carried before. Looking to the autho-
rities, the contrary was the fact; and it would be found that
he had not carried them so far as:Lord Eldon and other Chan-
cellors had done. The question with his Lordship was, were
the rights of the plaintiff so free from all legal doubt as to
justify him in interfering, by way of injunction, without the
legal right being tried at law ? Looking at the
facts that had been brought before him, and look-
ing also to the affidavits that had been made by
various scientific persons, his Lordship was of opinion that
the Vice Chancellor of England had come to a right judg-
ment in ordering the plaintiffs to bring an action at law to
try the legal validity of their patent. His Lordship, there-
fore, ordered the judgment of the Court below to be affirmed
with costs.
THE HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY 17.TH1 CHIUNG-CROBO•
BRIDGE COMPANY.

This case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the
decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England,
directing a motion which the plaintiff had made for an in-
junction to stand over,and ordering them to bring an action at
law upon a covenant in a lease granted of the Hungerford
Market Company to the Charing-cross Bridge Company for
certain property, forming part of the market, for the pur-
pose of approaches to their bridge. By the covenant in
that lease the Hungerford Market Company contended they
were entitled, at all times, to have free access and egress
across the bridge for all steam-boat passengers to the float,
which the Hungerford Market Company had erected in the
River, at the east aide of the first tower of the bridge from
the market. The Charing-cross Bridge Company de-
nied the indiscriminate right of ingress and egress
claimed by the plaintiffs, contending that the Market
Cc.npany were bound to show clearly to them,
by the adoption of some course or other, that
the persons who desired to cross the bridge were, in reality,
steam-boat passengers. The market company asserted that
it was impossible for them to adopt any such course, and
under these circumstances the bridge company refused to
allow parties to cross the bridge without the usual payment,
and stopped up all access to the stairs below the bridge to
the float erected by the plaintiffs. The adoption of this
course being considered by the Hungerford Market Com-
pany to be utterly unwarrantable, and calculated to injure
their receipts from steam-boat proprietors, they filed their
Bill, and applied to his Honour the Vice-Chancellor
of England. for an injunction to restrain the Charing-
cross Bridge from hindering persons from cross-
ing the bridge to the float. On the motion coming
on before the Vice-Chancellor of England, his Honour, with-
out hearing the counsel for the Charing-cross Bridge Com-
pany, ordered the motion to stand over, and directed the
Hungerford Market Company to bring an action upon the
covenant in the lease, which they contended gave them, and
all steam-boat passengers, free ingress and egree across the
bridge to the float. From that order the present appeal was
brought, by which it was sought to discharge that order
and obtain an injunction to prevent any further obstruction
across the bridge to steam-boat passengers by the bridge
company.
Mr. BETHEL!, with whom was Mr. Giffard, on behalf of
the appellants, the Hungerford Market Company, after stat-
ing at some length the facts of the case, contended that his
clients were entitled to the interference of the Court by way
of injunction, to prevent the defendants, by their unwarrant-
able course of conduct, from injuring the property of the
Market Company. The bringing of an action at law would
be productive of vexatious delay and expense, which was
the object of the Charing-cross Bridge Company, who had I
already kept the plaintiffs for nearly two years out of their
just rights. The Learned Counsel also submitted, that even if
his Lordship agreed with the Vice-Chancellor of England,
that the matter ought to be tried at law, the proper course
would be not to proceed by action, but by the sending of a
case for the opinion of a court of law. The Learned Counsel
here stared, that it had been his intention to have gone, at
considerable further length into the affidavits, but since he
had commenced his motion, an affidavit had been put into
his hand, made that day by Mr. Lawrence, one of the officers
of the Bridge Company, in which he stated that the Board,
on Thursday the 11th of February, had come to a resolution,
in the hopes that the Hungerford Market Company would
adopt some course to identify all persons embarking on board
the steam-boats, that the hoards should be removed, and free
access given from the float across the bridge to the market,
for persons disembarking from steam-boats, without the pay-
ment of tolls. The affidavit of Mr. Lawrence further stated,
that the hoards would be removed immediately thatgatev had
been erected. His Lordship would, therefore, see that the ques-
tion between them had been of late considerably curtailed.
The question now was, whether the Hungerford Market
Company were bound to identify persons going from the
market to be steam-boat passengers. That would be the
only issue to be tried.
The Loan CUANCRLLOR suggested whether, that as both
parties seemed to have come so near to an agreement with
each other, it would not be better to let the motion stand over
for a week, in order to see if some arrangement could not be
come to.
Mr. BETRZLL said he should be happy to adopt any sug-
gestion of the Court.
Mr. BOLT considered the question now to be, whether the
Bridge Company having agreed to give a right of passage to
certain individuals, were bound to give the same right to the
whole of the public; be thought the Bridge Company ought
to adopt some course by which parties embarking on board
steam boats could be identified.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not see how it was possible for
the Market Company to do so.
Mr. Rota' considered it easy enough by parties taking
tickets for the steam boat before they went on the bridge. It
was quiteimpossible for the Bridge Company to rail out a pas-
sage on one aide of the bridge of the extent of 6 feet, but they
had repeatedly offered to make a passage on each side of the
bridge of the width of 3 feet, one for passengers embarking,
and the other fbr those who were disembarking. Re
thought it would be extremely hard upon the Bridge Com-
pany if, as had been suggested before the Vice-Chan-
cellor, they were to put back their toll-gates one-
third of the bridge, especially when it was recollected
that the bridge company had paid to the market company
no less a sam than 6,000/. for the right to place the toll-ban
where they now were.
The Lours Citasciu.on said that the matter was now re-
duced to a very small compass, and such being the case, he
would ask whether it would nut be better for all parties that
the matter should stand over for a few days, to see if same
arrangement could not be come to, instead of calling upon
the Court for an adverse judgment.
After some further discussion, the motion was ordered to
stand over to Wednesday next.

strangers were not admitted.

ROLLS' COURT, Feb. 24.
LANDON •, PARR.
This was a motion on the part of the defendants in the
suit to stay all further proceedings. It appeared that Eli-
zabeth Landon was a married woman, and the mother of
the other plaintiff. By a deed dated 1810, some property
was settled in trust for the wife, husband, and children of
the plaintiff. The defendant Parr was the derivative heir of
one of the trustees to the settlement. In 1846 a mortgage
was made to Mr. Gedye, the solicitor of the plaintiffs, whose
cook, Ilarriet Waller, had, at his suggestion, consented to
become the next friend of the plaintiffs, who resided abroad,
and were without the jurisdiction of the court, and Bled a
bill.

His Loanarasr• said he had refused similar applications,
but these were cases where bona tide parties had con-
sented to assume the position of the plaintiffs and bear
their liabilities. There was no such case here, and he woul4
grant the order.

ASSIZEINtELLIGENCE.
NouTHERN ClRGUlT.—Carlisle, Feb. 22.
The assizes for the county of Cumberland commenced

(Before Mr. Baron 4.1-DICKSON.)
His Lordship during the day disposed of a large number
of the minor cases, which presented no point of public in-
terest.

at Longtown, with intent to do him some grievous bodily
harm.

Mr. Fawcett conducted the prosecution; Mr. James ap-
peared fur the defence. _ _

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1847

with such an instrument on the breast, in the side, and near
the spine.
Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defence, and stated
he would call witnesses to show that the fork in question was
used by the prisoner for the purpose of fastening his door.
He urged that, being suddenly called from his house by the
alarm of his nephew's danger, he had hastily withdrawn
this instrument from the latch, and ran to the place where
the affray was taking place, when he had joined in the con-
test without recollecting what he had in his hand.
Verdict—Guilty of a common assault.
To be imprisoned one week.
Elizabeth llPBurnie was indictedfor having broken into the
dwelling house of Francis Lawry, at Maryport, and stolen
therein 30 sovereigns and one dl. note.
Mr. Gregg and Mr. James for the prosecution; Mr. Ram-
shay for the defence.
According to the case for the prosecution, the prisoner and
the prosecutor both resided in King-street, in the town of
Maryport, within three doors of each other. Mr. Lawry was
the master of a vessel called the Ben Brace, a collier, plying
from Maryport to Belfast. The prisoner's husband was a
sailor on board that vessel, and she herself was frequently in
Mr. Lawry's house, and had opportunities of being well ac-
quainted with the localities. In the course of Novem!,er last
she was in the kitchen at Mr. Lawry's when he handed Mrs.
Lawry the money in question belonging to the ship, and she
heard Mrs. Lawry direct her daughter (by a former husband,
and who resided with them) to take it up stairs and put it in
the drawers in her room. In January last Mr. Lawry and
his wife both sailed in the Ben Brace on a voyage to Belfast,
leaving the house in charge of Miss Mounsey, the only other
inmate being a young child about six years of age. On Sun-
day, the 17th of January, Miss Mounsey went to church at
the usual hour. Before going, she went up to the drawer
where she bad put the money, for the purpose of getting her
prayer-book. She lifted up a glove box in which the money
was deposited, and by its weight was aware that the money
was then in it. In the same drawer was a savings' bank box,
containing some money, and that also was safe. On her
return from church all seemed to be as she had left
it, and she retired to bed about nine o'clock.
The following day she had occasion again to go to the
drawer for the purpose of getting some of the savings'
bank money, and, on applying the key, she found
the lock had been forced off and was lying in the
drawer. The lid was off the glove box, and the money gone.
She immediately ran into the prisoner's house, crying out
that she was robbed, on which the prisoner immediately
said, "Oh, is it the ship money?" The prisoner returned
with Miss Mounsey to the house, and, by her request, went
for a policeman. On his coming, some discussion took place
among the women who by this time had assembled, at the
house, on which the prisoner took the policeman aside,
and told him that he bad better look after some sus-
picious characters at Mooney's, a house in the neigh-
bourhood, where trampers were in the habit of lodging. She
assigned, however, no reason for her suspicion. The next
day she called on Miss Mounsey, and told her she had not
been able to sleep all night. On the evening of Wednesday,
about six o'clock, Miss Mounsey's aunt called upon her and
remained with her till half-past seven, in company with Miss
Snowden, an acquaintance. While they were sitting together
they heard the latch of the back door lifted, but no one
came in, and after some delay, caused by their feeling some
alarm, Miss Mounsey and Miss Snowden went to the door.
There was no one there, but on looking out into the yard
they saw a small bundle lying near the door, and on exa-
miting it they found, wrapped up in some rags and a piece
of cheroots leather, twenty-fire • sovereigns and the missing
note. While they were looking over the money a person of
the name of Waddington came in and remained a few
minutes, and while she was leaving the house a person of the
name of Benn came in, the bearer of a message from the
prisoner, to inquire if it was true that the money was found,
there having, as it was alleged, been in the interval no
means by which she could legitimately become possessed of
the knowledge.
The further evidence against the prisoner went to show
that she bad been seen, just about the hour when the money
was found, walking backwards and forwards, opposite the pas-
sage leading to Mr. Lawry's back door; that she had entered
the yard, remained there but a few seconds, not sufficient to
enable her to enter the house, and then hastily went away.
The person, howeveS, who deposed to this fact, stated, that
the prisoner had on a light-coloured gown, but it appeared
from other testimony that the gown she had on that evening
was of a dark colour.
Mr. RAM3IIAY addressed the jury for the defence, and
called witnesses to show that the fact of the money having
been found had transpired, and was known to several parties,
before the time when the prisoner sent the message by Benn.
One of these, a person by the name of Hodgson, had in-
formed her of it, having heard it from some of the persons
who had been in Mr, Lawry's house.
The pi isoner was Acquitted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

James W. Goalborn, the sexton of St. George,
Bloomsbury, was charged with having been found in the
parish church at half-past eleven o'clock at night, under
somewhat suspicious circumstances.
The Hon. and Rev. H. Montagu Villiers, the rector,
attended to prefer the complaint, and stated that his at-
tention was called to the church between eleven and
twelve the preceding night (Monday) by a parishioner
named Doubleday, who, perceiving a light in the church,
and knowing that a collection for the Irish poor had
been made on the previous Sunday, entertained a sus.
picion that some one was perpetrating sacrilege. They
proceeded together to the church, calling aloud to any
person who ;might be therein to come forward and deliver
himself up at once to the police, who were in attend-
ance. No response was heard, but presently they dis-
covered the sexton emerging from the aisle in his shirt-
sleeves. As the door on that side of the church was
found open, they proceeded at once to examine the com-
munion plate, which appeared all sefe. The prisoner
was then asked to explain himself, when he told two
stories; the one being, that he had left his coat there,
and had merely come to fetch it ; and the other, that he
was anxious to see that all was safe before retiring to
rest. At all events, whatever the sexton's intentions
were, it did not appear that anything had been re-
moved.
It was mentioned, in extenuation of his offence, that
he was rather intoxicated ; and as he was a new comer,
having been highly recommended to his present employ-
ment, the Hon. and Rev. Gentleman expressed no desire
to visit him with further punishment than his dismissal
from office.
Mr. JARDINE told him that the case was very suspi-
cious, and hoped he would profit by the leniency now
shown towards him.
WORSHIP-STREET.
_ _

Sergeant Dubois, 14 N, begged to oppose, altogether, bail
which, he understood, would that day be offered for a per-
son named Edward Herring, who had caused the death of a
child named Thomas Adey Newby, seven years of age, the
son of a surgeon, residing in Gloucester-street, Hoxton.
In answer to a question put by the worthy magistrate, Mr.
Baousirrox, the sergeant said, Tuesday evening he attended
anin
Hospital,
qtiisitioil up heldonth before M.
ebodyofthre poor child, at St. Bartho-
lomew's Payne, the City Coroner,
when evidence was adduced as follows:—It appeared that
tOir.ll come oute"in of a
gwa3poubbsleicr-vhsdous, in company of two other persons,
e, at the corner of New Glouces-
ter-street, at about six o'clock on Blonday evening last, and
enter a chaise-cart, which had been waiting for him. He
had been drinking freely, and had no sooner bid his compa-
nions good-bye, than he whipped his horse into the top of
his speed. He was followed by upwards of twenty persons,
who were apprehensive of danger, and unfortunately he had
not proceeded many yards ere the deceased child was
observed lying in the road, the wheel of the chaise having
passed over its head. The driver was observed to turn
round, but seeing the mischief he had been the instigator of,
he redoubled his application of the whip to the horse, a high-
spirited animal, which now proceeded with increased
and
fearful speed, and his driver in consequence effected his escape.
He (Sergeant Dubois), however, subsequently succeeded
in tracing and capturing him at the residence of his father
who is the proprietor of the "),Menagerie" in the New Road,
known as Herring's Menagerie. The deceased child, on
siutr Wealo n
above, to
conveyed by its pa-
n, Nderie ears.
gy to St. Bartholomew's
being raised from the ground, was bleeding from the nose,
mouth,e
tn
Hospital, where it expired on the following morning (Tues-
day), and where a jury, which has been already stated,
re
sat upon the body the same evening, and it was their una-
nimous opinion that a more flagrant case of the kind
had not before been brought to their notice ; and
they, as well as the Coroner, thought it
was one,
in which bail, however great the amount offered should not
by any means be accepted of, and he (Sergeant ) llubo.iswas
commissioned by both coroner and jury to state this respect-
fully to the magistrate to be their decided opinion. The age
of Herring is twenty-eight years.
Mr. Bnottairroar said he should certainly pay attention to
what had been stated, and advised the Sergeant to be in at-
tendance to oppose the bail.
SOUTHWARK.
A woman of the Own, charged with refusing to leave
a coffee-shop, and afterwards insisting on being taken to
the station.h,mse and locked up, when placed at the bar
before Mr. Cottingham, said the policeman 83 M had not
told the truth. She went on to say that the reason of
her having been placed in the situation she then appeared
in, was in consequence of not being inia condition to treat
the policeman with some liquor.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM inquired if there was any truth in
the assertion? Policeman 83 M—Not a word. I never
drank with the woman; in fact I never saw her before in
my life till last night.
The defendant said that what she asserted was perfectly
true; that she had often treated policeman 83 M, and
other policemen of the same division, to liquor, to keep
them in good humour, so that they should not interfere
with her when walking on their beats.
Mr. COTTINCUAM (with surprise)—ls there any per-
son here to confirm that which you have just asserted?
If you have witnesses I shall hear them.
Defendant—l have no one here certainly, but I can
vouch for the truth of every word I have said. There
are plenty of other women situate as I am, who know
the policemen are in the habit of being treated to liquor
by such persons as we are; and that if we don't give them
liquor they mark us, and for the most frivolous act in
the street will drag us off to the station-house, and there
what they say is a law, for there is no use in contra-
dicting them. We have no voice there.
Mr. COTTINGUAM said, that if the defendant's asser-
tions could be proved, that policemen suffered themselves
to be treated to liquor by unfortunate women, who, on
refusing it, were exposed to the policeman's revengeful
feelings, he would take care that such scandalous con-
duct should soon be put a stop to. However, as the de-
fendant's mere assertions were not borne out by any
evidence, he should at present not take any further no-
tice of this particular transaction; but, in case it could
be hereafter proved before him, he would take especial
care that they should be soon stripped of the authority
they possessed.
