LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 20.
The Lord Chancellor heard unopposed lunatic peti-
tions and appeals to-day.
JUDGMENT.—THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AXHERST.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, the arguments in which were concluded yesterday.
We have already given a statement of the facts of the
case, which came before the Court upon an appeal from
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, direct-
ing= account to be taken of the sums received by the late
Duke of Leeds, for waste committed by him in destroying
the old baronial mansion of Kiveton Hail, disparking the
park, and cutting down the timber upon it. His Lord-
ship was clearly of opinion that every point urged by
the appellant had failed, and that the appeal ought to
be dismissed with costs.
His LORDSHIP having disposed of the unopposed lu-
natic petition on his paper, proceeded to hear the further
arguments on the part-heard appeal of " Minor v.
Minor," which involved a question of breach of trust in
the management of certain estates.
This case occupied the Court the whole morning.

ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 20.
HIYNES W. TAYLOR.
Mr. TURNER resumed his arguments in this case,
which occupied his Lordship the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 20.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took
unopposed petitions, short causes, and cause petitions to-
day, none of which possessed any point worth a special
notice.

obtained the said judgment without giving any pre-
vious notice to the plaintiffs, so as to enable them to
get the bill of exceptions sealed. The main
object now sought was the sealing of the bill of excep-
tions. The bill of exceptions was most important, as it
not only set forth that Norman as well as the other three
was guilty of the act complained of, but that the plea
of justification was not founded in truth ; and that,
therefore, the Learned Judge misdirected the jury in in-
structing them to deliver the verdict they had given.
The two defendants, Roe and Norman, were proprietors,
publishers, and editors of a Cheltenham newspaper, and
Bootle and the other defendant were their attorneys. The
Learned Gentleman went at great length into the facts
of the case, to establish the grounds on which he made
the application.
The LORD CHIEF ;JUSTICE said, there were not suffi-
cient facts before them to conclude whether the long
delay in not sealing the bill of exceptions between the
trial and the death of the late Lord Chief Justice had
arisen from the negligence of the plaintiff. Still, in
order that substantial justice might be done to the
parties . under the peculiar circumstances of the
case, the Court was disposed to grsnt a rule to
show cause why the verdiet should not be set
aside, and a new trial granted ; and also it would be
open to show that the judgment was irregularly signed
for want of a term's notice to the plaintiff. With re-
spect to the other ground on which the rule was sought,
that of causing one of the judges to seal the bill of ex-
ceptions omitted by the late Lord Chief Justice, the
Court was of opinion they had no power to interfere.
The rule relating to this point must, therefore be refused.
Rule nisi, on the other grounds stated, granted.
PABBATT V. KING.—TRE TUNBRIDGE AND RYE-RARBOUR

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 20.
MOTIONS FOR NEW TRIALS.
The Court gave its decision this morning on the fol-
lowing cases, in which motions for new trials had been
made during the term :—A case involving the question
of the jurisdiction of the Barnet magistrates—rule re-
fused; Gurney v. Gurney—rule granted; Phillipps v.
Brodley—rule made absolute, and the verdict reduced to
71.; Gale v. Lewis—rule refused; Sutton v. Maguire—
rule discharged.
ADMINISTERING THE OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE TO HER

MAJESTY'S MINISTERS.
Shortly before twelve o'clock Lord John Russell, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Palmerston, Earl Auck-
land, Lord Grey and the Right Hon. C. Wood, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, arrived at the Court, and
after a short sojourn in the Judges'-room, proceeded
into the court, where the oath of allegiance was ad-
ministered to them by the Clerk of the Court, the
Judges, the bar, and the spectators standing.
The oath testifying that they would not use the influ-
ence of their offices to " injure or weaken the Protestant
Church as by law established in England, or to disturb
the bishops and clergy of the Church in the possession
of any rights and privileges to which they are by law en-
titled," was next administered to each, commencing with
Lord John Russell.
The Noble Premier, and, in fact, the whole of the
Ministers, appeared in excellent health.
At the completion of the ceremony they bowed to the
Court, and withdrew.
The Court has issued the following notice with respect
to the sittings after term :
" The Court will on Monday, the 30th inst., and the
five next following days, and on Thursday, the 17th
December, hold sittings, and will proceed in disposing
of the business in the crown paper, the special paper,
and the new trial, and will give judgment in cases which
shall then be pending."
The Court was occupied during the remainder of the
' day with cases which involved no points of public in-
terest.

CETLON.—APPEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA.—By
letters from Ceylon of the 9th of September, it appears
that the cholera was rife at Kandy. Several soldiers of
the 95th Regiment had died of the disorder. The sittings
of the Supreme Court had been removed from Kandy to
Colombo, on account of the sickness.—The Lancet.

The Lively navy-lighter arrived to-day from Plymouth
with stores.
DISPATCH OF TIIE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL,
THURSDAY EVENING. —The royal mail steam-ship Cale-
donia, Captain Lott, which arrived here on Sunday, has
again departed for Halifax and Boston. She sailed this
morning, being only four days in port, and carries out
fifty passengers, and the semi-monthly mails for Canada
and the United States.

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAM-SHIP TIBER.—SOUTH.
saiprox, Nov. I9.—The Tiber, Captain Russell, which
sailed from this port on the 4th instant, en route for
Genoa, Naples, &c., met with an accident to her machi-
nery while crossing the Bay of Biscay, which compelled
her to run into Gibraltar, where she arrived on the 10th
inst. On the following morning the Montrose, Captain
Burney, came into harbonr on her return voyage from
the above places. After consulting with the engineers,
it was deemed expedient that the passengers, mails, and
cargo of the Tiber should be transferred to the Montrose,
while those of the latter ship should be removed to the
former vessel. This being done, the Montrose retraced
her voyage to Naples, &c.,leaving Gibraltar on the lath
inst. The Tiber, on the same day, left for this port, to
undergo the necessary repairs; she turived here at four
p.m. yesterday, and landed the Genoa. and Naples mails.
The passengers, fifty in number, on leaving the Tiber at
Gibraltar paid the highest compliment to Captain
Russell, his officers and men, for their excellent seaman-
like conduct, and in particular to Captain Russell for his
very gentlemanly and cool behaviour under such trying
circumstances. As proof of the exr;ellent sailing quail-
ties of the Tiber, it is only to mention that the Achilles
steam-ship left this port at three P.M. of the 3d, and did
not reach Gibraltar until twelve hours after the Tiber.
The Achilles left Gibraltar for Malta on the same day.
UNFOUNDED CHARGE AGAINST THE PHYSICIAN OF
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Thurriday Mr. Bedford
held an inquest at the Prince's Mead, Duke's-court,
Bow-street, on the body of Margaret Mailers, aged 60,
of No. 11, Broad-court, Long-acre. Robert Mallars, the
husband, said, the deceased had been. ill for some time
past. On the 2d inst. she became an out-patient of
King's College Hospital. Being a baiter he had to work
all night, and on Monday evening, wb en he left home,
the deceased told him he would not see her alive in the
morning. Upon returning home front work he found
her dead in bed. She had complaimail to him of having
been kept waiting a long time at the hospital when she
went for advice and medicine. Mr.Thainbridge, surgeon,
of St. Martin's-lane. said, that he bad examined the
body, and found death to have been caused by disease of
the heart. She had probably been seized with a fainting
fit, not an uncommon circumstance flrcim such a disease,
and no one being near to apply brandy, sal volatile, or
some other restorative, had been unable to rally. He
had examined her medicine, and foun.d it proper for her
complaint. Dr. Guy, physician of King's College Hos-
pital, said, that where there were as many as forty or
fifty out-patients to attend to, the de.;eased might have
been kept waiting a short time, but -no longer than ne-
cessary. The jury expressed themBe.lves satisfied that
there was no ground for the charges, and returned a
verdict of "Died from fainting, ca.ui,ed by disease of the
heart.",
NEAPOLITAN MAIL PACKET.—A. first-rate steamer,

nesday, which took place at Pale YEN, between Hayes
and Hillingdon, was attended by the Earl of Granville,
the Hon. Mr. Denman, Captain Seymour, several officers
of the Ist Life Guards, and a field oi' upwards of one
hundred. The Highflyer stag, upon being uncarted,
went away to Gutteridge Wood, th rough Mr. Cox's
grounds, at Hillingdon, to the Comm( a thence on to the
West Drayton station, where it doubled to Cawley ;
thence crossing the country to Uxbri dge, it faced right
through the town over the Colne in to Bucks, away to
Long Coppice, and doubling across. the Beaconsfield
road to Denham. The stag again 'crossed the river,
making away in the direction of Harulield Church, on to
Ruislip, where it was headed back: to the village of
Harefield, and there taken, after a rum of between three
and four hours. The Earl of Granvi•U e and a large field
were up at the finish.

morning. In consequence of the unfitvourable state of
the weather on Saturday night, the In. 9.4 iter, Mr. William
Smith, brought up close to the Shears _light in the Swin,
off the Essex coast near Walton, with: the intention of
remaining till daybreak. About twel•re o'clock the man
left on deck was alarmed at the appro:tch of the City of
London, bearing down upon their ves sE.I. The steamer
was hailed, but it is supposed the situa ti on of the Albion
was not seen until it was impossible ix) prevent a colli-
sion. The engines of the steamer, however, were
promptly stopped, but immediately ai 3r the trader was
under her bow, and she cut her down I;c, the water's edge.
The concussion was very great, the A Ibion being almost
buried under the steamer. Great conf xsion consequently
ensued, it being too clear that the ./Libion was rapidly
filling. The steamer's crew, after mt tc h difficulty, suc-
ceeded in saving the whole of the cix Iv of the Albion,
with the exception of a young man, a :son of the master,
Mr. Smith, who was below in his berth, and who, it is
supposed, sunk with the vessel four or '.five minutes after
the collision. After a delay of some time the steamer
proceeded on its voyage, touching at Orfordness, where
a boat was lowered and the unfortunate crew landed, and
were forwarded to their respective ham les by the Ship-

wrecked Mariners' Society.

and others, belonging to the Marylebone and Paddington
Joint-Stock Building Association, had been stolen. On
the previous evening, from information which had been,
rec,..ived, a look out was kept, when 49 D saw the pri-
soner go to a large stack of bricks, from which he took
six, and was making off with them, when the officer
took him into custody. He offered to give any money
if he might be allowed to go.
He was committed for trial.
Mr. Robinson applied for his client to be admitted to
bail; sureties would be given to any amount.
-The magistrate refused to accede to the request.
THAMES.
Mr. Joseph Sanders, landlord of the Blue Anchor
public-house, Parsons-street, Ratcliff-highway, appeared
to answer a complaint under the Mutiny Act for refusing
to receive two soldiers billetted upon him.
It appeared in evidence that the soldiers arrived here
in a Dublin steamer at a late hour on Saturday night,
the Bth instant, and were billetted upon the defendant
by inspector Ellis of the H division. A police-constable,
60 H, accompanied them to the defendant's house at half-
past one o'clock on the morning of the 9th. The landlord
was aroused from his sleep, and looked out of the win-
dow, but refused to open his doors, and returned to his
bed. The soldiers were under the necessity
.of quarter-
ing themselves in the station-house for the night.
Mr. Sanders, in defence, said he was obliged by the
law to keep his house closed from twelve o'clock on
Saturday night until one o'clock on Sunday afternoon,
and he was not aware that there was any exception in
favour of the military.
Mr. BALLANTSNE said the defendant would be liable
to a penalty for keeping his house open for the sale of
beer and spirits during the hours mentioned, but there
was nothing in the Mutiny Act which said that pub-
licans were not to receive soldiers billetted upon them at

any hour,
Mr. Sanders expressed his regret that he should have
acted in ignorance of the law, but all manner of strata-
gems were used on Saturday night, after 12 o'clock, to
make him open his doors by various persons who wanted
refreshments, and he had been put to much trouble and
inconvenience by persons knocking at the door after he
closed his house, and representing they were the police
or soldiers ,with a billet. On the Saturday night in
question a trick of this kind was played off upon him.
About half-past 12 o'clock the bell was rung, and some
persons called out, " The police. We demand admis-
sion to see if the house is cleared." He opened the
door, and immediately several persons rushed into the
house and demanded beer and spirits. He had great
difficulty in clearing the house. An hour and a half
afterwards, and just as he had fallen asleep, the bell was
again rung. He concluded, at such an unseasonable
hour, that he was being hoaxed, and shut down the
window. He had been a licensed victualler 15 years,
and no complaint had ever been made against him before.
Inspectors Donegan and Scott, of the H division, said
the Blue Anchor was the best conducted house in the dis-
trict, and that Mr. Sanders was a highly respectable man.
Mr. BALLANTINE believed all the defendant said was
true, but he was bound to convict him ; in consideration,
however, of the excellent character given of him, he
should inflict the lowest penalty of 40s. and costs.
E S TALINS TER.
A middle-aged gentleman, who stated himself to be
the Hon. Grantley F. Berkeley, came to this court, and
addressing Mr. Burrell, the presiding magistrate, said—
I present myself hero in consequence of having seen in
newspapers an ex parte statement of an accusation made
against me by persons of the names of Woolfe and
Lait. Although I have received no summons, I am
here to state my readiness to meet any charge such
persons may bring forward, at such time as the magis-
trate may appoint. In the meanwhile, if any gentlemen
of the press are present, I trust they will report pre-
cisely what I have stated, and that they will refrain from
making any remarks until the case is properly before the
public.
The Hon. Gentleman then bowed to the magistrate
and withdrew.
John Reid was charged with knocking at the lodge
of Charlotte street Chapel, Pimlico, without lawful
excuse.
Mary Rhodes, who resides at the lodge, said that the
defendant came there twice on the previous evening, and
insisted upon having an interview with Mr. Kelly, the
minister of the chapel. Upon being told that he could
not see him, defendant, who was intoxicated, declared
that he would remain there until he did, and, as Divine
service was about to commence at the chapel, she called
a policeman and gave him into custody. Witness knew
of no reason for defendant's troubling Mr. Kelly, but
knew that Mr. Kelly visited defendant's daughter when
she was dying. Mr. Kelly had told witness that he
would not see defendant.
The constable who took the accused into custody
proved that he was intoxicated.
Defendant, who appeared to be labouring under con-
siderable excitement, said that Mr. Kelly, the minister
of the chapel, came to see his daughter whilst she was
on her deathbed, and got her to make a will, leaving all
her property to his (defendant's) wife. Mr. Kelly after•
wards told him that she had made a will, but positively
refused to show it to him. As he (defendant) was
legally entitled to any property she possessed, he consi-
dered Mr. Kelly was bound to show him the will.
Mr. BURRELL inquired the nature of the property.
Defendant replied that it was household furniture,
some part of which had been removed by Mr. Kelly's
directions, and, added defendant, " the rest my beau-
tiful woman of a wife, that belongs to his congregation,
has got."
Defendant's landlord said he could offer some explana-
tion. Although the will had been prepared, it bad never
been executed by the deceased woman. Mr. Kelly and
another person, however, on the strength of the will,
were parties to the removal of the furniture.
Mr. BURRELL said, that on the hearingof one side of the
matter, the conduct of Mr. Kelly appeared at present to
be very unjustifiable. He should discharge the defendant,
and, as he appeared very excitable, would recommend
that the landlord, or some other discreet friend, should
see Mr. Kelly on the subject of the furniture.
HAMMERSMITH.

. _
An Irishman, named Francis Smith. was brought up
before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, for fur-
ther examination, on the charge of having, on the 27th
of June, 1841, feloniously stabbed Redmond Barry, with
intent to murder him, whereby his life had been in im-
minent danger for several weeks.
Mr. T. Madden, relieving officer for Kensington, at-
tended to prosecute on the part of the parochial autho-
rities.
Redmond Barry, who still appeared in a very weak
state, deposed that he was a labourer, residing in Jen-
ning's-buildings, High-street, Kensington. On the
evening of Sunday, the 27th of June, 1841, the prisoner
and one Hayes were fighting in Jenning's-buildings,
and witness went up and put himself between them to
part them. The prisoner then struck witness, who de-
fended himself, and they dragged each other along some
distance. They were then forced Against the wall by
the mob that had collected, and witness there tried to
throw the prisoner, but failed in doing so. The pri-
soner left witness for a moment or so, and then ran at
him and gave him a violent thrust in his side. Witness
felt at that moment as if a needle had run into him, and
called out, " Oh, I'm stabbed." The prisoner ran away
and witness fell to the ground with the blood gushing
from his side. Witness was carried home, and on being
stripped found part of his bowels protruding from the
wound. Witness was subsequently conveyed to St.
George's Hospital the same night, where he remained as
an in-door patient for ten months, and had never since
recovered the effects of the injury he so received.
The foregoing evidence was corroborated by several
witnesses, but the hospital surgeon was at present in the
country.
Mr. Madden produced a certificate from Mr. Guazza-
rone, the Kensington parochial surgeon, showing that
Barry had since the occurrence been seriously ruptured
from the effects of the injury, and therefore was unable
to work much for his livelihood.
The prisoner was then remanded until Monday next.
The Court was densely crowded during the examina-
tion of the prisoner ; and a few minutes after it was
somewhat cleared.
Inspector Havell brought before the magistrate a wo-
man who was stated to be the cousin of the prisoner
Francis Smith, who, he said had, outside the Court, used
threatening language to Mrs. Barry, the wife of the in-
jured man.
Mr. PAYNTER told her that if she repeated such im-
proper conduct, or in any way interfered with or inter-
rupted the witnesses, he would immediately issue a war-
rant for her apprehension, and inflict on her the severest
punishment the law allowed.
Mr. Madden introduced to the notice of the magis-
trate a young girl, neatly dressed in mourning, who, he
said, was Catherine Casey, aged 12 years, only child of
James Casey, who was killed by the fall of three houses
in Alfred-place, West Thurloe-square, Old Brompton,
on Thursday, the 12th instant. The girl was previously
motherless, and by the unfortunate accident was now an
orphan, and without a relative or friend in the world.
Since her father's death she had been taken care of by
Mrs. Bryan, a poor woman living in Jenning's-buildings,
who was herself a recipient of parochial relief. He had
advised her to take the girl to Messrs. Emmens, the
builders, in whose employ her father was, to see iithey
would not do something for her, but all they had done
was to take her to a shop and give her a pair of shoes.
He had, therefore, brought her before his worship to
see if he could enable him to get her into some asylum
where she would be taken care of and put out in the
world.
The poor girl appeared an intelligent child, but quite
broken down by the calamity which had befallen her in
the death of her only earthly protector.
Mr. PIYNTER commented on the kindness of the
woman Bryan, who was present, and advised Mr. Mad-
den to try Manor-house establishment, Fulham, which
he promised to do. The worthy magistrate also ordered
Mrs. Bryan ss. from the court poor-box, which, he said,
was in reality a " poor box," being, at the present
mo-
ment, empty.

THE DUCHESS OF INVERNESS.—A rumour of so
extraordinary a character has reached us, that had we
not the strongest reasons for respecting the authority
whence it is derived, we should find it almost impossible
to lend it a moment's credulity. It is said that to our
already overcharged pension list is to be added the name
of the Duchess of Inverness, with a pension of 1,0001.
