CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

NICSEL9 V. TURTON.
Mr. BETUELL, with whom was Mr. Campbell, moved for a special
Injunction to restrain the above-named defendant, who resides at
Nottingham, from making, selling, or using the braid, or otherwise
infringing a patent grunted to the plaintiff, Mr. Christopher Nickels,
for " improvements in machinery for covering fibres, applicable in
the manufacture of braid and other fabrics."
Mr. I3ernEra., after describing the nature of the invention, which
he said was at once very Ingenious and simple, and the product
exceedingly valuable, and which had been of vital service to the glove
and hosiery trade of the midland counties, proceeded to state that the
defendant and others had fur some time Infringed his patent, and that
frem the manner in which they carried on their business, and the
clandestine purchases which had been made from them by certain
manufacturers, some delay had taken place before the evidence could
be perfected. It had, however, now been made complete and the
patentee had taken and would take every means to protect his rights
and suppress the piracies.
After further briefly alluding to the nature of the Invention and
reading the affidavits, his HoNourt, the Vice-Chancellor, directed the
injunction to be granted.
Solicitor for the patentee, Mr. W. 11. Ashurst.

NICE L 8 V. $099, JUN.
Mr. Brritem. aleo applied for an injunction to restrain this de-
fendant, who also resides at Nottingham, from manufacturing, using,
or selling the braid. He stated this case to be similar to the pre-
ceding, but with the additional aggravation, that this defendant
knew that a verdict had been obtained against his father, with whom
he had been closely connected, for infringing this same patent, and
that the patentee had found on issuing execution, that the defendant
in that action had sold off, or removed his machines and furniture,
locked up his house, and left the town.

In this case, also, his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR granted ar
injunciion. -
Solicitor for the patentee, Mr. W. 11. Aslr_rst.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQVE.)
IN RE LOWS.
This Insolvent, who was a foreigner, came up for his final order,
which had been adjourned.
The insolvent bad carried on business as a shoemaker, :at the west
end of the town, and was opposed on the ground that he had con-
tracted debts without reasonable prospects of being able to pay. It
appeared by the evidence that in June last, the insolvent obtained
furniture: from the opposing creditor of the value cf 1001., and filed
his schedule in the following August.
The insolvent was examined through an interpreter, and said that
he had not taken away the property, and still carried on business at
the same place as heretofore.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, he should adjourn the case,
to admit of the insolvent paying 201. every half year till the whole
of his debts were paid.
The insolvent asked what he should do If he could not pay.
The CousussioNxa —Tell him I shall withdraw all protection, and
he must do the best he can.
IN RE SIMPSON.
Mr. STURGEON opposed in this case, on the ground that the in-
solvent had not inserted the amount he had reserved, beyond the
amounts mentioned in the 'schedule. Yet the insolvent had paid
money to his attorney, and had also given security to pay any fur-
ther costs.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he should have been sorry
to have agreed with the objection, en the simpls want of form, but
where it was shown money had been reserved, and security given,
to an unascertained amount, he should dismiss the petition.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary Pori'En.)
JAHROLD AND OTHERS S. ANDREWS ♦ND OTHERS.

This was an action to recover the amount of a joint and several
promissory notes. Two of the defendants had suffered judgment to
go by default, but the other, Henry Andrews, jun., pleaded his
minority.
Mr. NVILDE, who appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs, said the
plaintiffs were members of a society at Manchester, called the Man-
chester 501. Loan Society. The defendant, Henry Adams, was en
iron. merchant. The Mociety had been formed for the assistance of
persons in trade in time of need, each shareholder being entitled
to receive on each share 50/., as funds were in hand, giving a bonus.
The defendant had received the money, but now pleaded Ida minority.
He (Mr. Wilde) however, hoped to establish the Met that the de-
fendant had done an act which bound him in law, notwithstanding
his minority, for he had at the time of making the engagement
asserted that he was of age.

Mr. IL Elliott said he ;Vas an auctioneer at Manchester, and se-
cretary of the society. Defendant became a member by signing the
deed, and he would Not have been admitted had Le not said that he

merchant. The deed had not baen enrolled, for when:the Company
was established, the Act requiring it had not passed.
Mr. Joyce, Ibr the defendant, submitted, in the first place, that
the defendant was a partner in the society, and consequently could
not be sued for debt.
Mr. WILDE urged that there was a covenant authorising the
trustees to sue and ba sued, and that by the ensue deed the defendant,
as borrowed, had admitted his liability to be sued as for liquidated
damages.

Evidence Was adduced, clearly proving that the defendant was

The SECONDARY left it to the jury, who found a verdict for the
defendant, on the plea of minority. The Learned Judge said the
other question could be raised in the Court above. ills own opinion
was that the action could be Maintained.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A man of very gentlemanly appearance, Who gave his name as
Charles Ficholson Late, was charged with having committed an as-
sault on a man named Donovan, the porter at thetctoria Saloon, in
Brydges-street, Drury-lane.
It appeared, from Donovan's own account, corroborated by that of
a fellow-servant, that, about a. quarter to three o'clock this morning,
the prisoner, with three friends, was leaving the Saloon, when he,
Donovan, interrupted him, and asked him to " remember the por-
ter." its said he would him d-d first ; and Donovan persisting in
his claim, he seized him by the collar, and stnick him several times.
They struggled for some time at the doer and in the street, and Do-
novan ultimately gave the prisoner in charge.
The policeman who took the charge said that ho saw the prisoner
and Donovan struggling in the street, and did not see Donovan strike
the prisoner.

The prisoner said That it would be useless to send for them, as they
were professional men, anti would not te at home. '
Mr. JARDINE said that as there was no reason to suppose that the
witnesses were not speaking the truth, and as there was no evidence
on the other side, he must convict the prisoner of the assault, and h
wool ;Inc him 31., or in default of payment, one month's hnpri-

Inspector Pearce, of the F division, said that ho wished to ob-
serve that the Victoria wino-rooms were a very great annoyance to
the police. Complaints were very frequently made against Donovan
by gentlemen from whom he hul obtained money, but that few gen-
tlemen were willing to come forward against Donovan, as they did not
wish to expose themselves.

colonies. iioine additional Accounts have carne to hand
from the East Indies, but in a political point of view
there is nothing of Interest beyond that already made public as re-
spects the West Indies, and the progress of the colony of Jamaica, a
correspondent observes, " It L 3 with feelings of more than ordinary
gratification that tile experts from the colony aro on the increase."
It is satisfactory that such an admission is now made, especially as
for years past complaints have been made of this position of mercan-
tile affairs there. _ .
