pATENT BRAN DY.VERSUS COGNAC.
The season having arrived when an increased demand
for Brandy generally exists, J. T. BETTS and CO. avail
themselves of the opportunity again to remind the Public of the
fact, which has long been estabdshed, and is now generally ad-
mitted, that their PATENT BRANDY possesses a degree of
purity, and wholesome properties, unknown in a very large
proportion of Foreign Brandies ; whilst the flavour so nearly
approaches that of the best qualities of Cognac, that it is diffi-
cult to judge between them. The similarity, in this respect,
might be made perfect; but such a fancied advantage could
only be obtained by imitating certain impurities, existent in the
Foreign productions, from which the Patent Brandy is exempt;
as is demonstrated by the Testimonials of the most eminent
Chemists, to whom it has been submitted for analysis ; and is.
further, abundantly proved by the sanction of Medical Men of
the highest standing, as well in their private practice, as in
their directions to employ it in the Civil and Military Hospi-
tals, Infirmaries, and other Charitable Institutions, throughout
the Country. under their charge ; where it has superseded Fo-
reign Brandy.
J. T. Betts and Co. regard these facts as the only comment
necessary to he offered upon the attempts which are yearly
made, and as certainly and frequently abandoned, to introduce
articles of the same class: which a very short experience has
proved to be utterly destitute of those qualities necessary to
justify their claims. to public support.
This valuable Spirit is manufactured only at the-Distillery of
J. T. Betts and Co. No. 7, Smithfield•bars, London ; and is
sold by the Spirit Dealers in all parts of the Country ; or by
Agents specially appointed, under Sealed Certificates, where
there are no Dealers who keep the article.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Two very respectable-looking persons, named Fletcher
and Taylor, were placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman
Thompson, on a charge of defrauding Mr, T. Powell of
the sun of 501. Mr. Pelham attended for the prosecution.
The complainant stated, that about a fortnight since
the prisoner Taylor was introduced to him as a general
agent, who had very extensive connections amongst
the West Indian consignees, and he (Mr. Powell) ac-
companied him to Birmingham, to purchse a quantity
of fancy articles, which Taylor represented could be sold,
through his connections in Calcutta, at a large per ten-
tage profit. The goods were brought to London, and
stored in a room in Lime-street, until their shipment,
the prisoner Taylor giving him the key of the room as a
security for the payment of the money advanced to
effect the purchase. For about four days subsequent
the goods were left untouched, but on the fifth Taylor,
in company with Fletcher, brought a locksmith and
burst open the door, when he removed a great quantity
of them, which were pledged at several pawnbrokers in
the neighbourhood.
_

A number of other witnesses being examined in sup-
port of the prosecution, and the goods having been pro-
duced by the pawnbroker, and identified by Mr. Powell,
Mr. Dixon, who attended on behalf of the prisoner,
contended that the transaction was one of partnership,
and without the pale of the criminal law.
Mr. Alderman THomrsort said he would adjourn the
case until next Tuesday, but as there appeared a differ-
ence in the criminality of the two parties he should ac-
cept bail for Fletcher s appearance on that day.

MORNING SUN

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 13.
ALLEN V. BIACPHERSON AND OTHERS.

His Lordship was occupied during the morning with
hearing the further arguments in this appeal, which had
been aln-ady before the Court on Saturday.
It appeared that a will had been made, which contained
a codicil, with a bequest in favour of the plaintiff. The
defendant, however, had, it was alleged, created an un-
favourable impression in the mind of the testator as to
the plaintiff's character by false representations ; and the
result was, that the bequest was cancelled. The de-
fendant, it eras said, could not, under those circumstances,
be benefited by his own fraud, and the plaintiff was en-
titled to redress from the Court. It was contended, on
the other hand, for the defendant, that as the matter re-
lated to the validity of a will in a personal estate, the
Ecclesiastical Courts alone could take cognizance of it ;
and the Court of Chancery had no right to interfere in
such a case. This was the point at issue ; and his Lord-
ship having stated that he considered it one of great dif-
ficulty and importance, reserved his judgment till a
future day.

ROLLS COURT, Dec. 13.

ALLEN AND OTHERS V. BONE AND OTHERS.

This was a motion to dismiss the bill that had been
filed in this suit with costs, on the ground that it had
been filed without the knowledge and consent of the
plaintiffs. The case was partly heard on Saturday.
The bill was filed on Feb. 23, 1841, by Messrs. Hulme
and Andrew, in the names of the plaintiffs, to recover
possession of certain property devised to Richard Tho-
mas, by the will of a gentleman named Bridge, being
one-fourth of the residue of his property, and consisting
of several dilapidated cottages, situated at St. Helen's,
Lancashire. This share of the property had been mort-
gaged by Thomas for 501., to a gentleman named Jones,
who died on the sth December, 1830, having by his will
bequeathed his property to his wife, who also died,
having by her will, made in 1838, bequeathed it to three
of the plaintiffs, and appointed them her executors
The mortgage not having been redeemed; a bill
for forelosure and sale was filed in the names
of plaintiffs against no less than twenty
defendants. The answer had been put in but
various proceedings were taken in the suit, whereby
costs had been incurred to the amount of 1261. 95. The
plaintiffs now le d tat they had authorised the suit,
and prayed t' at ' a b might be dismissed with costs,
to be paid by Isti stiffs, and for a reference to the
Master to tax t.se costs of the defendants respectively
which had not been already taxed, and that Messrs
Hultne and Andrew, the solicitors, by whom the bill was
filed without the authority of the plaintiffs, might be.
ordered to pay the same to the defendants respectively.
Mr. Pemberton. and Mr. Cochrane appeared in support
of the motion, and Yr. Kindersley and Mr. Glass
against it.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The benefit for the Fishmongers' and Poulterers' So-
ciety last night was quite successful. The house was
crowded to excess, and it was gratifying to see so many
of the higher classes present to patronise this charitable
institution. Among others we observed Miss Burdett
Coutts, Lady Hope Vere, the Countess of Glengall, and
Lord Augustus Fitzclarence. The actors, too, seemed
to take delight in lending their assistance on the occa-
sion. Mr. Strickland, Mr. Rees, Mr. Wrench, and Mr.
Macready performed their parts admirably in Bulwer's
comedy of Money. Foreign Affairs and The Boarding,
School were performed in the same spirit, and the musi-
cal interludes, among others Rossini's overture to Se-
mirarnide, were loudly cheered. The audience, alto-
gether, seemed highly gratified with the entertainments,
and we hope the Society for which the benefit was given
will be still more delighted.

Ashley Hills, farmer, of Kirkland, was next called.

Mr. Spencer—Challenged.
The Juror was put aside.
Elijah Brush, of Rome, was next called, and the
usual questions were put to him on the subject_..of con-
scientious scruples.
Judge Gridley said the question was a proper one
when it was understood. It was not meant that a Juror
should be excused because he might feel pain on return-
ing such a verdict, but that it was matter of duty not to
return a verdict involving life by the law of the land.
Mr. Hall—How do you answer ? Would you find
a verdict according to the evidence, on the guilt or in-
nocence of the- prisoner in a capital indictment ?
Juror—Certainly.
Mr. Hall—l swear the Juror.

Royal Robbins of Marcy—He said ha had formed no
opinion further than he hoped that justice would be
done. Hethad not made up his mind as to what justice was.
Mr. Spencer.—He may stand aside.
Roswell T. Eastman, of Paris, was excused, being too
unwell to sit as a juror.
Ira Byington, of Camden, was sworn. Also William
Carpenter, of Kirkland. John Swann, jun., of Weston,
did not answer.
_ _

Edward Scoville—l wish to be excused on the ground
that I have doubted the policy of inflicting capital pu-
nishment.
He was excused.

Luther Shephard, of Verona, was challenged.
Josiah Thurber, of Utica, answered the questions
put Satisfactorily.
Mr. Hall desired that he might stand aside until the
panel was exhausted. He believed that it was common
law right, although they had no peremptory challenge.
Mr. Spencer—You have no such right.
Mr. Hall argued that he had the right to put a juror
aside, until the whole panel was exhausted, and then, if
necessary, to call the same juror—he could only be put
aside on cause shown.

Judge Gridley—lt is a qualified peremptory challenge.
Is there an objection 2

Mr. Spencer—l never heard of such a right before. It
is much more than a qualified challenge, and they may
thus ask that 36 jurors may stand aside, while the pri-
soner has the right to challenge but 20.
Mr. Hall said a decision had been made in a similar
case in the United States Supreme Court, in a case of
the United States v. Wilson and Porter, which was tried
before Judge Baldwin, of Pennsylvania. Other autho-
rities were quoted._

In the neighbourhood of Ingatestone, Essex, upwards
of 300 railway labourers, in consequence of the bad
weather, have been for some time past out of work,
and are in great distress.
All the corn grown on the island of Jersey is sent
to England free of duty, and the Jersey people import
from France and the Baltic. The high duty in Eng-
land has made it more profitable to cultivate corn.
The orchards arc fast disappearing, and the parsons
are petitioning the States for a fixed salary, as the
livings are so reduced in value it is hardly worth
while for any man of edncation to accept them. A
ship is now delivering from the Havannah, sugar which
will be sold to the Jersey public at 31d. per pound. of
two ounces more than the English. The Fatglish
shilling goes for one penny more. The principle of
free-trade is fully carried out there, and the Jersey
people go to the cheapest market regardless of free or
slave labour.

Such is the stock of ore in some of the iron-works,
says the Welshman, that only a certain number of trams
are allowed daily to the workmen ; this, in addition to
the late reductions of wages, makes the circumstances of
our workmen very distressing.

ADELPHI THEATRE

A petite comedy, fur it is in reality such, was pro-
duced at this theatre last evening with the Most marked
success It is entitled Me Maid of Honour, and the
scene is laid at the CoUrt of a Queen regnant of Spain,
where Count Olivarez (Mr. Yates); who is the leader of
the opposition, by acting on hi.; .t.vourite maxim, "from
little causes great effects arise," 'Manages to procure the
dismissal of the Duches's of Albafurez (Mrs. Fosbroke), the
favourite of the Queen (Mrs. Yates),. and his own appoint-
ment to office, while at the same tithe he makes two lovers
happy in the persons of Felicia (Miss Ellen Chaplin);
. _ . . . _ _

thAfourt Milliner, who is subsequently appointed Maid of
Honour to the Queen, and Henrico (Mr. S. Ford) a Court
page, Who is the object of the tender solicitude not only
of the Duchess of Albaftirez, but of her Majesty herself,
and who subsequently gets' an appointment as Captain
in the Guards. The piece, which is cleverly adapted
from the French of Scribe, is CoMpletely one of intrigue.
Incident followed incident With 'most amazing rapidity,
and the curtain fell after a clever royal speech from Mrs.
Yates, amidst the most tuitmltikats applause. The
dialogue sparkles with wit, ' and 'the adapter
has taken advantage- of- the capabilities 'of his 'sub-
ject, to Weave into it - sundry hits at passing
events, all of which were well received. In perfOrnfing
this • sOniewhat ticklish- task, the author has exhibited
great tact ; and, as he is quite impartial. and attacks in
turn all parties, but without exhibiting anything like
political rancour, the piece passed off very pleaSantly.
The scenery, dresses, and appointments, were all admit--
able ; and, on the motion of Mr. Yates, the house re-
solved, nem. con., that the comedy should be repeated
every evening.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the execution, in the
yea: 303, of the brothers Crispin and Crispian, the
patron saints of the shoemakers. Chaucer also, the
" Father of English poetry," died on that day. in 1400.
It was estimated by Dupin that the British steam-
engines, when in full operation, could raise from their
quarries, and place all the stones in the Great Pyramid
of Ghizeh, in eighteen hours.
The Great Western sailed at one o'clock on Saturday
from Bristol, on her last voyage this season, with 128
passengers.
A Morning Contemporary says—" A lecture will be
delivered this evening at the Philanthropic Institution,
Holborn, on the subject of " Death by Starvation."—The
Tamworth Quack should lecture on this subject, for it is
one with which he is perfectly familiar, as the starved
Paisley operatives know to their cost.
A Tory Morning Journal calls Bernard Cavanagh,
the fasting man, "an extraordinary natural phenomenon."
This is not the case ; for so far from being extraordinary,
Bernard Cavanaghs—thanks to Ministers—abound in
the manufacturing districts.
We regret to state that incendiary fires have taken
place on the premises of Mr. Ralph Smith, at Stratford-
upon-Avon ; in the county of Bedford, near Ampthill ;
at Wrexham, Denbighshire ; and at Kirkly Hardwick,

In the year 1809 the frost was so intense in Scotland
that frozen ale was sold by weight. The same curious
circumstance occurred also in the reign of James the First.

COMMERCIAL nmroitivr.

A great conference of the manufacturers and operatives
of the midland districts is in contemplation on the sub-
ject of the Corn-laws. Most of the leading' firms of
Nottingham, Leicester, and Loughborough have fallen
into the. arrangement. Derby, it is highly probable,
will be the place selected.
