LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLL'S COURT, Jan. 23.

The greater part of the day was occupied in the hearing of motions
which were quite devoid of ptblie interegt.

UVMS.

This was a motion for titiirtl;Wo;detitrilli, case asainst the de-
fendants, who refused to comply with a former cifi:er,
Mr. PERVIS stated the case, from which it appeared that Mr.
Whicker was the heir-at-law to Dr. Gilchrist, the testator, who died
on the iith Of.Tanuary, 1841, possessed of an estate of 500 acres, near
the town at Sydney, in New South Wales, en estate in Scotland, be-
tween 17,0001. and 10,0301, Wad( in the Commercial Bank of Scot-
land, and 15,0001. stock in the ikitik elf England. The testator, after
devising several legacies, bequeathed the regititle of his property for
the purposes of education, as far as it was possible. The plaintiff, as
heir-at-law and next of kin to the testator, under these circumatatioes,
filed his bill, and the will liming been proved in this country, a ques-
tion arose With refefenCe to the property in Scotland, which rendered
it necessary to prove the will iit that oonntry, which was accordingly
done, and the requisite steps taken with few- et to the estate in New
South Wales. An answer was put in by the execiiittlm, and on the
4th November, 1842, a cross bill was filed, when for the first thne a
question was raised as to the domicile of the testator, who
it was stated had died in France. An order was made refer-
ring the matter to the Master to ascertain the domicile of the testator,
who was his ileit,at-law' and who were next of kin. Under these
circumstances the proliate of the will had been obtained ex parte.
Mr. Whicker, finding that the mtestion about domicile had
been
raised, and that the law of Scotland *as quite Inadequate to
pass the estate, otherne,•essaryproceedim.:s were had recourse to, and
subsequently an order against the trustees was obtained, lo Which
the defendants refused to accede, and the present motion was made
for the payment of the costs and the funds' in the hands of the
trtistees ints Court.

An order for the payment of the mohey out of the Consols into
Court, by consent of the parties without prejudice to any other
proceedings in the case, was granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Joseph Thompson, charged with having stolen a banker's
receipt for 120/., the property of Mr. Hitchin, which amount
had been paid as the first deposit upon 40 shares in a rail-
way company, called the British and Irish Union Railway,
which shares were at a premium of 2 per cent . was brought
up fur final examination.
The evidence of several of the witnesses having been read
over,
The prisoner's solicitor said, he had a question or two to
pot to Mr. Ebenezer Pell Brown, who had given his testi-
mony on the last examination..
It will be recollected that the letter of allotment for the
shares in the Company had been directed to a Mr. Joseph
Fletcher, the exitenee of which individual the prisoner's
solicitor altogether denied, thereby arguing that the affair
was, from beginning to end, a " stagging" concern, and that
the prosecutor must have been aware of the necessity of
having somebody to represent a person of that name before
the deed could be executed.
The prisoner's solicitor—Did you. direct that any_ letters
should be sent to your place directed to the Rev. Mr.
Fletcher? Witness—l am not aware that I did.
The Loan MAYOR—You must know whether you did or
did not. Witness—l do not know. Not to my recollection.
The prisoner's solicitor—l must have a direct answer.
Witness—l say Ido not recollect anything of the kind.
'I he prisoner's solicitor—Can you positively say that you
never desired that letters directed to the Rev. Mr. Fletcher
should be left at your chambers ? Witness—l cannot posi-
tively say that I never did.
Mr. Humphreys, for the prosecution, said that Mr. Hitchin
wished to say a word or two in explanation of part of the evi-
dence he had given.
Mr. Hitchin said he had mentioned in his former exami-
nation that he had never gore by the name cf Gibbons. He
meant when he said so, that he had never gone by that name
with respect to his transactions in Capel-court. He had, in
consequence of some family disputes formerly, gone to live in
lodgings by that name, and Mr. Pyle. who was then his
attorney, knew of the circumstances under which he adopted
that name.

The prisoner was then committed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.

Mr. Buller, who stated that he resided at Salisbury-
terrace, Walworth, complained to the Lord Mayor of the
conduct of a railroad company. He had, he said, got some
shares in that company, upon which he paid the sum of
40/. 12s. on the 4th of October, and from what he had learned
he could come to no other conclusion than that the company
was insolvent at the very moment he had paid the deposit.
In fact, he had ascertained that the scrip was issued subse-
quent to the loss of the Bill in Parliament. •
The LORD MAYOR—Then the Bill was lost last session?
Mr. Buller—So I believe. At all events, the officers of the
concern state that the concern is altogether at an end. Now
the receiving of money after the whole business was at an end
looks very like obtaining money under false pretences.
The LORD MAYOR—Go over to the Lord Mayor's Court, in
the Old Jewry, and see whether they cannot do something
for you.
GUILDHALL
A sailor, about 24 years of age, named Thomas Bingley,
was brought before Sir Peter Laurie charged with forging
and uttering a cheque for l 2/. on Messrs. Praed, purporting
to be drawn by the Hon. Mr. Grey, of Charles-street,
Berkeley-square.
Mr. Weldon, on behalf of the banking house, stated that
the Hon. Mr. Grey kept an account with the firm, but the
cheque was so unlike his writingg that nobody could mistake
it for a genuine document. The prisoner was the son of a
bailiff, who was for a time in Mr. Grey's service, and he
had been relieved several times upon writing that he was in
distress. The last of these donations was made In a letter
which had been partly copied in the forged document. The
genuine letter, dated Jan. 14, ran thus :
" I fear. from your letter of this morning, that you are
very idle and discontented. I have nothing more to say to
you, and send you my last assistance of IL
The forged letter, dated the 21st of January, began:—
" I fear, from your letter of this morning that you are
very wilds and discontented, and 1 send you my last
assistance of 12/., hoping it may do you more good than the
last."
It had an order on Messrs. Praed for 121., written at the
foot, was dated from 43, Charles-street, Berkeley-square,
and had passed through the post, addressed " Thomas
Bingley, 101, New Gravel-lane, Shadwell." The com-
plainant said the prisoner wat toe ignorant to do any mis-
chief, and he was not disposed to press the case to trial if the
prisoner could give a reasonable account of the matter. He
produced a letter written by the prisoner since he had been
in custody, and the writing appeared to be dissimilar to the
forgery.
Sir PETER LAURIE said it showed great art if the pri-
soner had caused this letter to be written and sent to himself
by post.
The prisoner said he knew nothing of the letter, except
that he received it by post, and supposed it to be genuine.
Sir PETER LAURIE thought the examination should not be
proceeded with till further inquiries had been made about
the prisoner. It was of importance to all bankers and their
customers, as well as to the public, that no attempt to utter
forged cheques should go unpunished. The severity of the
law had been relaxed to increase the certainty of prosecu-
tion ; and, without adverting to the result of that ameliora-
tion of the law, he would say that every act of forgery should
be rigidly prosecuted. Whether the imitation of the signa-
ture was good or bad, the prisoner intended to cheat Messrs.
Praed of 12L _ _

The prisoner was remanded.
A man who had the look of an artisan, but who refused to
give 111% name or any particulars whatever, was charged with
attempting to commit suicide.
John Eve, a City policeman, said he was informed about
eleven o'clock the previous night, that a man had leaped
from Blackfriars bridge into the Thames. About three
hours after he met the prisoner in Chatham-place. His
clothes were thoroughly wet, and as he would not an-
swer any questions he detained him.
Sir PETER LAURIE asked him his name and occupation.
The prisoner declined mentioning either. He was, he
said, a little excited.
Sir PETER said, he took care to swim on shore. He might
be trusted with the care of himself; it was a trick to excite
compassion.
The prisoner was immediately liberated.
