IN THE MATTER OF BLAKE, A BANKRUPT.

This case, which was an appeal from the Court of
Review, was opened by Mr. Swanston ; after which, the
the further arguments were adjourned till to-morrow
(this day).
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose shortly before 4 o'clock.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 4.
(Before the Vice-Chancellor of England.)
TOLEDO V. VIETA.

The arguments on this past-heard case, the facts of
which we gave fully yesterday, were resumed, and con-
cluded to-day. His Honour postponed his judgment.

IINKNEY V. BOOTH.

This action was tried before the Sheriff, and a verdict
was returned for the defendant. The particulars of the
case did not appear to-day, when
Mr. NEWTON moved for a rule to set aside the verdict
on the ground that it was received and entered by the
Sheriff in an illegal manner, and was, therefore, null and
void. In the first place ;(as we understood the argu-
ment), the trial was postponed by the Sheriff until a
day subsequent to the date, when the writ was
originally made returnable .; and, in the second
place, the trial having come on, upon the last
day of the Sheriff's jurisdiction, the Jury retired
to consider their verdict shortly before twelve o'cloclyt
night, and did not deliver their verdict until more than
an hour afterwards, when, the Learned Gentleman con-
tended, the writ and the authority of the Sheriff had ex-
pired. The verdict was, therefore, invalid and illegal.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked whether the plaintiff
objected at the time of the jury's retiring, or at all, before
their verdict was delivered ?
Mr. NEWTON replied in the negative ; but added, that
the protest against the verdict was handed to the Sheriff
immediately after the verdict was given in.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—The plaintiff took his
chance of a ver&olt in his favour, and thereby virtually
consented to the course pursued. In such a case the
Court will not interfere.—Rule refused.

HANMER V. HAILES.
The defendants were in partnership as coach-makers
with a person named Heifer, and this action was brought
to recover the sum of 6801. upon a bill of exchange ac-
cepted by Heifer in the name of the co-partnership, and
endorsed by the plaintiff. It appeared that the father of
the Hailes had (before the making of the bill by Heifer)
given a guarantee to Hanmer for the payment of
all sums advanced bona fide for the use of the firm.
Differences arose between the partnership, and the
Hailes denied that the monies advanced by Hanmer
through Helfer, were for the use of the partnership, and
the latter accordingly gave the bill in question to enable
the plaintiff to proceed, as he had hem advised that lie
could not, under the circumstances, maintain an action
upon the advances.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, but the Lord Chief
Justice, before whom the case was tried, reserved seve-
ral points.
Mr. ERLE now moved for a nonsuit on the points re-
served.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said all the facts of the
case were before the Court, and their Lordships would
take time to consider their decision, as the questions
involved were of considerable importance, commercial
and legal. Probably they would direct a special case to
be made ; and if so, the plaintiff could not übject to join
with the defendants in agreeing to one.
REYNOLDS V. MONKTON.

In this action, which was brought against the plaintiff
for an assault, alleged to have been committed in church,
by dragging the defendant out of a pew, the right to
hich was disputed between the parties, a verdict was
found for the plaintiff, with 5/. damages.
Mr. ERLE moved for a rule to set the verdict aside, on
the ground that the defendant was justified in what he
had done, by his right to the pew.
Tile COURT did not think that any question of law
was at issue, and as the facts were admitted, and the
damages were of so small an amount, their Lordships
would not interfere.—Rule refused.
WALKER V. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY.

In this case the ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained a rule
to show cause why a mandamus should not issue
to the Sheriff of Middlesex, calling on him to summon
a Jury to assess the amount of compensation to be paid
to the plaintiff by the defendants, for the deterioration
of his property. The application was made by the 51st
section of the Company's Act of Incorporation. The
me had bten already tried before the Sheriff, when the
plaintiff was nonsuited on account of the irregularity of
his notice served upon the Company. In that notice he
had included all his property situated in the neighbour-
hood of the Railway, whereas the clause under which he
claimed allowed compensation only for property situated
within fifty feet of the Railway. A new assessment upon
an amended notice having been refused, a mandamus
was necessary.—Rule nisi granted.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 4.
SWAN V. EVANS.

In this cause an action had been brought against the
defendant for breach of duty with respect to a certain
writ of execution entrusted to his charge against a per-
son of the name of Rawlins, a debtor of the plaintiff's.
The defendant pleaded that he had not taken the goods
in execution, nor levied upon them. The allegation
made by the plaintiff was that the defendant had made a
seizure, but had not levied thereon. The verdict passed
in favour of the defendant, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd
obtained last Term a rule to show cause why the verdict
should not be set aside, and a new trial had.
Mr. Sergeant BOMPUS, for the defendant,now showed
cause, and stated that it was impossible fur the Sheriff
to levy in this case, inasmuch as a distress previously
issued had swept away the whole of the goods and
chattels of the debtor, leaving nothing whatever to sa-
tisfy the plaintiff.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it had been decided in
the Queen's Bench, that where the Sheriff has several
writs against the same property he took the first. The
verdict must stand.—Rule dismissed accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
G :I% IL D If AL L.
A young girl, namsi Ann Millings, was placed at the
bar before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with having at-
tempted suicide, by throwing hrrself from the third arch
of Blackfriars-bridge into the river.
Sergeant Diblen, l ie. 306, said she fell on her back in
the water, when some men, who were working at the
repairs of the bridge, brought her to shore in a state of
insensibility She was taken to the rt ceiving• house, and
thence to the Compter. The only effects she complained
of from the fall was a slight pain in her shoulder. No
less than three similar attempts had been made by other
females last night.
The prisoner said she had been in the service of a fur-
rier, named Collins, in the Newington-road, by whom she
was discharged, and in consequence made the attempt.
Sir P. LAURIE: said this bridge was becoming a resort
for persons like the prisoner. It must be put a stop to,
and he was determined by every means in his power to
do so. The public mind had, in his belief, been poisoned
by a set of low penny publications, in which those cases
were blazoned forth, and they had instances of the effect
iiroduced from such sources in the Monument cases. He
should, under these circumstances, at least do away with
the romance of the affair, and commit her on a charge of
felony to Newgate, where she would be tried and most
probably transported.

NON-INTRUSION,— On Sabbath week, Mr.
John Hope, Dean of Faculty, and successor elect to
the Lord Justice Clerk, was, with ten others, admitted
a member of the Kirk-Session of St. Stephen's. To
say the least of it, we think the taste of both the parties
to this transaction extremely questionable. In the pre-
sent position of the Church, and keeping in view the
notorious fact that Mr. Hope has been the main and
most determined instigator of all the proceedings against
the independence of the Church, as well as the just
claims of the Christian people, whether on the part of
the Moderate party or of the Law Courts, it is not easy
to regard his admission at this time in any other light
than as an open sancaon o his conduct by Dr. Muir
and his Session.— Witnoi.
