MAW AND POLICE,

In the Rolls Court this clay, Lord Langdale gave
judgment in the case " The Attorney-General v. Dul-
wich College," which has been before the Court for
years. It was an ex officio information, filed upon the
certificate of the Charity Commissioners, for a declara-
tion of the Court as to the parties entitled to participate
in the funds, and for an extension of the charity. The
information was dismissed.
= •-- A man of the name of Pilbeam ivas Convicted
yesterday at Maidstone of cutting the throat of his wife
with intent to murder her. The wound was not,. fatal,
and he repeatedly declared, after having committed the
act, that he was sorry he had not killed her. He. Was.
sentenced to be transported for fifteen years.
At Shrewsbury, on Tuesday, a gentleman of the
name of Evans, sued Mr. Pratt, a gentleman in the
neighbourhood, for the recovery of a bet of 1001. The
parties had agreed to run two mares four miles across
the country, play or pay, without going Virough a gate.
It appears that the defendant's mare came in first, but
she had gone through a gate, and the plaintiff therefore
claimed the bet. Verdict in his favour with 100/. damages.
At Durham on Tuesday, Mr Crawford, son of the
late Member for the City of London, obtained a verdict of
150/. damages against the Durham and Sunderland Rail-
way Company, for injuries received while travelling on
the line on the 3d of November last. His cheek-bone
was broken and forced into the socket of the eye, and
though he had not a grey hair in his head at the time of
the accident, within a month after, the whole hair became
perfectly white.
At the Kensington police-court yesterday, Edmund
Malcolm, the driver of one of Cloud's omnibuses, was
held to bail, himself in 100/., and one surety to the same
amount, on a charge of driving at a furious rate near
Kensington turnpike on Saturday last, and thereby break-
ing the leg of an old man named King. The
defendant and the driver of an omnibus were
racing on the highway, when a collision took place be-
tween them and a cart, in which King was sitting, who
was thrown from his seat, and the wheel passed over his
leg. He had undergone amputation of the leg, but was
still in considerable danger.
Alderman Kelly stated yesterdaY, at Guildhall, that
he had received three contributions for the poor woman
from Hunslet, charged with begging. They were 10s.
from Mr. Rickard, of the Stock Exchange ; 10s. from a
gentleman unknown ; and 2s. 6d. from a gentleman of
the Jewish persuasion.
A " happy couple " appeared at Marlborough-
street yesterday, having fallen out on the Sunday
Neither of them thought fit to carry the meat to the
bake-house; upon which a quarrel arose, and though
only the fifth week after marriage, the husband nearly
twisted his sposa's nose off. The Magistrate recom-
mended obedience in the wife, and severely reprimanded
her husband.

A lady yesterday appeared it Worship-street,
mysteriously apprising the sitting Magistrate that he
and his colleagues were on Wednesday to be massacred
bLconspirators from Homerton. The chief clerk they
would hang, and the clerk next to him was to be cut up,
and the Magistrate himself sent to the treadmill. The
lady was, however, assured that there wpuld be abundant
force to withstand them, and expressing herself satisfied,
withdrew.
