sion, as they had to perform a national duty with respect 1
education.

Mr. HUME considered that bis Presbyterian constituents
ought not to be called upon to pay for a Commission which
had no sympathy for 'heir religious predile,tions.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not consent to postpone
the Bill.

After a desultory conversation,
The vote was agreed to.
A vote of 182200/. for the administration of the Poor-law,
England and Scotland, liavinc, been proposed,
Colonel SIBTHORPE thoughtr this Poor-law Commission
was only fraught with evil, and he could not support the vote.
Mr. BANKES did not wish to anticipate the discussion
on the new Poor-law Commission Bill, and therefore be would
move that the present vote be postponed till after that debate,
and that in the meantime Mr. Green report progress.
Sir G. GREY assured the Hon. Gentleman that that B ill
would not be read a second time for a considerable period, an d
he did not see what bearing these debates might have upon
this vote.
Captain PECHELL said that he perfectly agreed with
what had fallen from the Member for Downshire ; it was per-
fectly preposterous to vote away this money until they were
aware how this board was to be reconstituted.
Mr. PHILIP HOWARD said that it appeared from the
general feelings of this House,. that it would he better to post-
pone the vote to a future occasion.
Mr HUME concurred in the propriety o the suggestion.
Sir G. GREY said that the present vote was taken with a
view to pay the expenses of the new establishment.
The vote was then agreed to.
The House then resumed, the Chairman reported progress
and obtained leave to sit again. _

Leave was Cran•Fd to sit again on Monclay.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THE EARL OF GLENGALL V. BARNARD.
This was the petition of the plaintiff for an inquiry as to
the intention of a testatcr, Mr. Me:lish, and in the event of
his finding, that the Ccuntet,s of Glengall, who was the
daughter of the testator, was entitled to let certain pro-
perty in the Isle of Dogs on building leases.

CHA NC LLO (,;(111.17T, May 7.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
MoNEYPENNIr r. I')ERING.
This cause turned upon the construe ion of a will. The
facts have already appeared in this journal, and the question
cAme before this Court with the view of overruling the deci-
sion of the Curt of Exchequer, which determined that the
word ‘• son" in the will of one of the devisees limited the
estate to the last male.
His Ilosoutt said it was the practice of the Court in cases
such as the present to carry out the intention of the testator,
but he should refer the case to a court of law.
It was then arranged that the case should be brought
betbre the Court of Connnon Ploas.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 7.
(Sittings in Banco.)
HARE V. ATTWOOD:
In this case an application was made for a new trial on
the ground that the plaintiff omitted material evidence at a
previous trial, when a verdict had been entered for the de-
fendant. An application having been made at the time, the
point was reserved for argument.
The COURT refused the application, as it was not supported
by affidavit.
Several other cases of no importance were then disposed of.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 7.
(Sittings in Bunco )
MISCIIKIN V. ROSCI.
In this case an application was made for an attachment
against a Mr. Levi, a Sheriff's officer of the county of Mid-
dlesex. It appeared that the plaintiff owed 161. 18s., and that
this officer continued to levy sums of money to the amount
of 251. 10s., and afterwards made a seizure on the goods of
the plaintiff, a Mr. Rosci, a merchant residing in Regent-
street, to the extent of 121.
The COUIIT were of opinion that a rule should issue calling
on the Sheriff and Mr. Levi, or one or either of them, to re-
fund the money.

MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.—The Bricklayers' Arms
station of the South-Eastern Railway was visited by great
numbers of persons on Wednesday and Thursday to witness
the arrival and departure of troops at that station. Oa
Wednesday a part of the Ist division of the 57th Regiment
arrived there from Dover early in the afternoon, and soon
afterwards the Ist division of the S9th depot left the same
station for Dover. Yesterday afternoon the second portion
of the Ist division of the 57th Regiment arrived at the
Bricklayers' Arms station from Dover, accompanied by the
regimental band and numerous officers. The second portion
of the Ist division of the 89th depot left the same station
shortly afterwards for Dover. The area outside the station
was crowded with friends and relatives of the troops, nume-
rous carriages with the officers, ladies, and children; those
with the baggage waggons and ether military accompani-
ments caused quite a stir in the neighbourhood. In addition
to these troops several companies of the 89th Regiment pro-
ceeded by the South-Eastern Railway from Reigate to
Dover. both on Wednesday and Thursday, en routs from
Chichester. In each case special trains were dispatched.
and we hear that the several commanding officers expressed
the greatest satisfaction with the admirable military service
arrangements made by the South-Eastern Railway Cotn-

THE NEW INFANT ORPHAN ASTLI:M.—The anni-
versary dinner of this charity took place on Thursday at th
London Tavern, and was attended by a company of gentle-
men mustering to the number of 135. The Right Hon. Fox
Nlaule presided, and during the evening subscriptions to the
amount of 8501. were announced by the secretary, a large
sum considering the charity has been only three years in
existence, and one which promises extended means, and we
hope in proportion thereto, extended usefulness in a very
wide field for benevolent labour.
