LAW IN TEL LIGEN CE.
HOUSE OF LORDS, May 25.

The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present
were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, the Earl of Staf-
ford, and Earl Stanhope.

PINKUS V. THE RATCLIFFE GAS COMPANY.

The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed,
and occupied their Lordships the whole morning.

ROLL'S COURT, May 25.
The Master of the Rolle was occupied the whole day with
motions and petitions. No case calling for a particular
report came before his Lordship in the course of the morning.

VICE CHANCERY COURT, May 25.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMHERST.

His HONOUR gave judgment in this case to-day, declaring
that the assets of the late Duke of Leeds were answerable for
the equitable waste that had been committed. The case
occupied the Court some days in argument a short time ago,
at which period we gave a short outline of the facts.

THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL V. THE EARL OF DEVON.
The further arguments in this part-heard case, the ques-
tion in which relates to the management of the Tiverton
school, were resumed, and occupied the Court the whole day.
We have already given a detailed account of the facts.
The Vice-Chancellors KNIGHT BRUCE and WwitAxt were
occupied the whole morning with causes of no interest.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 25.
(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster Hall.)
HOUSTON V. NORRIs.
In this case it appeared that the parties stood in the respec-
tive position towards each other of landlord and tenant;
that an understanding had been entered into between them
by which the plaintiff (the tenant) was bound to pay his
rent at a certain time, the landlord paying the taxes, and
not paid within 28 days after that day, the tenant should
cease to occupy. The tenant had not complied with the
) terms of the agreement, and the landlord took possession,
which the tenant conceived was an illegal act and took an
action, but the jury found for the defendant. Counsel for
plaintiff now sought for a rule for a new trial upon the
grounds that he occupied under a lease.
The COURT was of opinion that the agreement between
the parties included any other title, and refused the rule.
11F:ALE V. MOLES AND OTHERS.
In this case the plaintiff had agreed to build a steam
boiler for a certain sum, of which 490/. was the balance, for
the defendants, who called themselves " The Common Road
Steam Carriage Company." The action was for goods bar-
gained and sold, and an account stated, and the jury found
for the plaintiff. Counsel now applied for a rule to show
cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new
trial granted, upon various grounds, all of which involved
points of legal technicality.—Judgment deferred.
May 26.
(Sittings in Banco.)
LOWE V. PENN.
The Court gave judgment in this case to-day. It was argued
tally on Friday, and was one in which was involved the question of
an alleged infringement of a patent invention for propelling steam-
vessels by means of an improvement upon the original Archimedian
screw. The public are already familiar with the fats of the case,
as they have already been published several times. The Court grant( d
a rule for a new trial, and then proceeded to try cases at Nisi Prius.
They were all either undefended cases, or actions upon bills of ex-
chauge of no interest to any but the parties,concerned.

BAIL COURT, May 25.

This Court was occupied for the greater part of the day
in disposing of undefended causes, and in hearing cases in
which the claims of the plaintiffs were for services rendered
as engineers' assistants in different railway schemes.

POLICE INT h LLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
The follciv:ng c a r. excited a great deal of public interest.
Thomas Richards, (Policeman 486,) and Henry Kirby,
money-taker to the London and Westminster Steam-boat
Company (wooden boats), were summoned before Alderman
Gibbs, for having used insulting and obscene words to Mr.
Charles Funge, an officer of the Vice-Chancellor of England.
Mr. Shadwell, the son of the Vice-Chancellor, and several
other gentlemen were present during the investigation.
Kirby, upon being asked whether he was guilty or not
guilty, said "Partly guilty and partly not guilty."
Mr. Funge stated that on Friday last he took the boat (the
Primrose) from Westminster to London-bridge, and waited
on the dumb lighter on which he had landed thr half an hour
or more, and upon leaving it he was accosted by Policeman
486, who said to him " You had better be off, the othi r one it
gone. We have many such as you about here, and youthb3d.
better go." Witness.asked what the policeman
amenanta,
any
addressing him in that manner, and said " If I hasvhoduid
thing wrong by remaining about the lighter, )
I was doing wrong." Witness left the
bend, went to Kirby,
come and spoken to me in a proper mann_eare,aFbduttonldntmteeetibinagt

Mr. Goldha '
warned me off;
in the City, and mentioned . ra 8 name, as a gentle
man who was probably known to him. Ile said he did not
and he refused to take it. I then requested the-
care. I offered him my card, but he said he did not want my
card,anto go with me to several gentlemen, to whom I
rePfe°r:eeed,
m
in the City, but he refused to g ), stating that it was out of his
beat. I was refused permission to go on hoard. On Saturday
Mr. Peters, Mr. Goldham, jun., and myself, went down to the
pier to see whether Kirby intended toniake any acknowledg-
ment or apology for his conduct, but that person said he did
not at all care about it, refused to give his name, or the name
of the secretary to the company to whom application might
be made for redress, and behaved in an extremely gross and
unbecoming manner.
Alderman Grans—What have you to say in answer to
the charge, Kirby ? Kirby---I was, my Lord, busily en-
gaged in taking money for the London and Westminster
Steam-boat Company, when this policeman (Richards) came
and said that one of the swill mob was on the lighter, and
he then pointed out the gentleman who made the complaint
as another of the swell mob. I heard an altercation between
the gentleman and the policeman, and when the gentleman
offered the money to pay his passage to Westminster, refused
to, take it, as the officer had told me he was a pickpocket.
Alderman QLl3Bs—Policeman, what hap) yon to say ?

Richards—l was called down by the pier master to make
two persons leave the pier, and he pointel out one whom
knew well, Bill Dunn one of the gang at the Elephant and
Castle. He also pointed to the gentleman who has made the
complaint. I asked Bill Dunn if he knew the complainant;
and he said that he knew no party whether he knew them
or not. I told the gentleman, thinking that he was a com-
panion of the person I knew to be one of the swell mob, that
he had no business to wait there, and I then went to Kirby,
and told him to mention to the captain that one of the swell
mob, meaning the other person, whom I knew to be a bad
character, was about the place; but I never said the gentle-
man was one of the class.

Kirby—l certainly said the gentleman was a pickpocket;
and I said so upon the information of Richards, who declared
that such certainly was the case.

Alderman GIBiS (to the policeman)—Did you see a pick-
pocket speaking to this gentlernrn ? Richards—No; but I
can produce a witness who did.

Eaward Jones, (the policeman's witness) who stated
that he was a wateli-maker in Bermondsey, and he was on
the pier at the time the circumstance occurred. He heard
not a word of abuse, but he saw a person close to the gen-
tleman, and he thought be saw them speak together. The
other person, whom he supposed to be a pickpocket, he saw
moving about the gentleman very much for a long time,
but he was not sure that they spoke together.
Mr. Goldham, jun., said, that on the Saturday of the oc-
currence. Kirby, upon being called upon by him and other
friends of Mr. gunge, behaved in the most bullying and in-
solent manner, refused to give his name, or the name of the
.eeretary, to apologise or explain, and said again that Mr.
Finge was a pick-pccket.
Kirby solemnly declared that he did not know Mr. Gold-
',am at the time.

The policeman called another parson, who, he said, was
capable of giving evidence for the defence.

ThomasStill,—who stated as well as he could, that he was
pier-master at the Old Shades pier, when the transaction ►
took place, then stood forward.

Alderman Gums—Well, what have you to say ? Witness
—I have to say that it was on Sunday last.
Alderman GIBBS—On Sunday last ! Witness—Yes ;on
Sunday it was that it happened.—(Great laughter.)
Alderman GIBBS—WeII, I certainly shall not take your
evidence as to a transaction of Sunday for what happened on
Friday. (Witness looked stupidly at the Bench.)
Alderman Gthns—Are you quite sober? Witness-Sober!
oh, dear, yes.—{Laughter.)
Alderman GIBBS—As I have said upon former occasions,
while it is the duty of the magistrates to protect the police
in the just and proper discharge of their duty, it is equally
his duty to inflict punishment ter the very injurious offence
of exceeding the bounds prescribed to the force. It is evi-
dent that you, Richards, have acted in this case in a very
unwarrantable manner. You saw a person, whom you knew
to be a thief, following about this gentleman, of whom you
knew nothing, and in all probability tor the purpose of rob-
ing him, and at the same time that you let the notorious
thief go, you condemn this gentleman as a pickpocket, and
refuse to let him:avail himself of the., opportunity, by identi-
fication, to show that there was no foundation for the
suspicion. Kirby has, through your representation; narrowly
escaped a wrious difficulty, but as he acted upon information
which, if correct, would have completely sanctioned his con-
duct, I discharge him._

Richards—* Lord, I never told Kirby the gentleman
was a pickpocket, for I never knew any thing of the kind.
I never knew the gentleman.
Alderman GIBBs—I fine you, Richards, twenty shillings
for this very gross act, and I hope the decision will have its
effect upon those individuals of the force who are too fe!r-
ward.

Kirby—l humbly beg the gentleman's pardon. If he will
accept my apology I offer it to him sincerely.
Mr. Funge and his friends then left the justice• room.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Thomas Oranz, about 25 years of age, porter, was charged
with stabbing a female named Elizabeth Norton, under the.
following circumstances :
Between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night last,
the prisoner and the injured woman were drinking together
in the tap-rom of the City of Hereford public-house, in
Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square. Norton was intoxicated,
and a violent altercation ensued between them, in the course
oi'which she struck the prisoner twice in the face, making
use at the time of very abusive and provoking language. On
the prisoner recovering the second blow, he rushed and
closed with Norton; they struggled- for an instant or two,
and then Norton called out that she was stabbed ; blood wall
directly afterwards seen streaming from a wound on her left
side. She shortly became insensible, and afterbeing removed
to a chemist's in the neighbourhood she was conveyed to
Middlesex Hospital. In the interim the prisoner effected his
escape from the public-house, and absconded from the neigh"
bourhood. However, police-constable John Manning,
No. 86, of the E division, succeeded in tracing
him out, and between eight and nine o'clock last evening
apprehended him, concealed in a water-closet, in Granby"
place, Waterloo-road, Lambeth. Norton is about fifty years
of age, a married woman, and the mother of several children
now living. For several years past she bad cohabited with
the prisoner.

Inspector Clements, of the E division, handed to Air*
Maltby a certificate from the Hospital, of the woman being
confined there from the effects of a stab of a very severe
Da' ure in the left side, as to the probable result of which no
opinion could at present. be formed. The wound was between
two and three inches in depth.
Mr. MALTBY asked if the prisoner wished to say anything
in the present stage of the proceedings? The prisoner, wbo
seemed fully conscious of the very serious situation that he hadplaced himself in, said, on the woman striking him a second
time, he made a rush towards her, having a knife in his
hand, with which they had been eating their supper; hoA
the wound was inflicted he was not conscious. Here he burst
into tears.
Mr. MALTBY remanded him until Thursday.
