COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 30.
MEU X AND OTHE S P. SMITH AND OTHERS.
This was an application to the Court, on behalf of the plain-
tiffs, to have an order, made in this case by the Master of the
Rolls in March last, discharged.
The plaintiffs had obtained from the Master of the Rolls an
order to strike out of a cause pending the names of Messrs.
Segur, Evans, and Co., as defendants in that cause. They
afterwards found that in obtaining that order they had com-
mitted a mistake, and in consequence applied to the Vice-Chan-
cAlor to have the Master's order set a,ide, and the Vice-Chan-
cellor directed the plaintiffs to bring their motion to his Lord-
ship's Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the plaintiffs to he al-
lowed to amend their bill, on payment of the costs of the
motion.

some cases of appeal were the i brought before the Court
which possessed no feature of general interest whatever, and
occupied the Caurt to the time of its rising, at shortly after
One o'Clock.

11 COURT OF .L..X.uni2,yyr..R, APRIL 30.
YELL V. KNIGHT.
This was an action against the landlord of an inn in
the neighbourhood of Worcester, for refusing the plaint ti
accommodation, and turning him out of doors at an un-
seasonable hour of the niglit. be trial was had at, the
last assizes when the Jury found a verdict for the defendant.
A rule fur a new trial was obtained by Mr. Hill, cause
against which was to-day shown by Mr. Whitehur:.t. It
appeared that toe plaintiff, an attorney, while tram-
ling, arrived at the dvfendart's inn at a late hour
at night and desired a bed. One was prepared
for him, hut he said it was damp, and refuted to lay in it.
He was shown another, but he said it also was d imp,
and desired to have a light, and he would sleep
upon chairs in an up-stairs room. This the landlord
refused, but cffered to sit up with the plaiwiff in
the kitchen. This the plaintiff refused, and words
having ensued, the landlord turned him out of the house,
in consequence of which the plaintiff had to walk to
Worcester, a distance of six miles, after midnight.
The case having teen argued at great length by Mr.
Whrtehurst IT the r efendatit, and Mr. Hill and Mr.
Humfrey fir the plairt ff,
The COURT dr eided that the verdict was right. No
landlord was bound to do more than provide proper ac-
commodation for any guest. He was nut obliged to put
up with the caprici of any ono who chose to enter his
house. —Rule discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-S7REET.
Werner Cathray, a very fashionably-dressed young man, waa
put forward, charged by a young man, of the name of Reynolds,
with having violently assaulted him as he was passing along the
Strand on Thursday evening.
It appeared that the complainant and two other young
men were going along the Strand, and were about to turn in-
to Norfolk-street, when they encountered the prisoner, who
pushed against them, and a slight scuffle ensued between the
prisoner and complainant, during which the prisoner struck the
complainant a violent blow on the head with a stick, by which
a sevcre wound was inflicted, and the complainant was con-
veyed, bleeding profusely, to a surgeon, where he had the
wound dressed.

The prisoner, in his defence, said, that the complainant and
his friends pushed violently against him, and in the heat of the
moment he struck the complainant.
The Magistrate said he would give thy prisoner an opportu-
nity of remunerating the complainant for the injury he had
received, and he would then consider, in the course of the day,
whether he should inflict any further punishment on the
prisoner.
