ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

LANDON V. 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 or
the other plaintiff. By a deed dated 1810, some proPertYf
was settled in trust for the wife, husband, and children o_
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, wh°s4l
cook, Harriet Waller, had, at his suggestion, consented to
1.),-come the next friend of the plaintiffs, who resided abroad,
and were without the jurisdiction of the court, and died 6
bill. _ _

HIS LORDSIKP said he had refused similar ap
but these were cases where bona fide parties had COnr
seated to assume the position of the plaintiffs and be
their liabilities. There was no such case here, and he would
grant the order. plicatiort

WORSHIP-STREET—(THISDAY'S
Sergeant Dubois, 14 N, begged to oppose, altogether,
which, he understood, would this day be ffered for a p 7;
son named Edward Herring, who had caused the death (04
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•St
BROUGIITON, the sergeant said that last evening be atolls;
an inqui,ition upon the body of the poor child, at St. B+ sr,

when evidence was adduced as follows :—lt appeared tpio,
Mr. Herring was observed, in company of two other Permso.

who were apprehensive of danger, and unfortunately he los
not proceeded many yards ere the deceased child Agg

passed over its head. The driver was observed W
round, but seeing the mischief he had been the instigator
he redoubled his application of the whip to the horse, slot
spirited animal, which now proceeded with increased a.
fearful speed, and his driver in consequence effected his 65044
He (Sergeant Dubois), however, subsequently succe%,,
in tracing and capturing him at the residence of his fro&

known as Herring's Menagerie. The deceased child,
being raised from the ground, was bleeding from tbe:

Hospital, where it expired on the following morning (ited,

SOCIETY or ARTS.—An interesting paper
by
hi*
Claudet, on photography, was read at the meeting of this
society on Wednesday evening. It commenced by observl 3
that during the past two or three years the chemical part
nn
the process had made but little progress, no substance
having yet been found more sensitive to the
iodine, bromine, and chlorine. The optical arrang
was then alluded to. Until the present time object gi f`,./
of short focal length have been employed with von];
operating more rapidly, but there is an objection tcorvtnel
Tl.e shorter the focal length the more the image is tbe
and the lees it will coincide with the plane surface
plate upon which it is represented. Again, the anglel'oni ee
light° trLaii
by the rays which converge towards the object glees 'teed.,
open as the focal length diminishes. It follows that 0410

therefore, ef the greatest possible focal length only

image if a portrait, for several reasons. The lineWbj
crosses the two eyes is nearly parallel with the line form L.
the mouth. The nose is not always straight; the %wee
not always parted equally, and the like. There are the
methods of reinverting the image—the parallel niirr°7o be
speculum, and the prism. Of these the prism apPear!feeed
the best. The image of the camera as seen upon the tk;- re-

type plate is prcgressive. The strong lights operatt,

screens, covered with black velvet, the strong eorieests

roundness of effect is obtained. M. Claudet conclun

been read, was unanimously adopted by the prop et
