LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARLS

BLUNDELL V, GLADSTONE.

The arguments having been concluded to-day,
His HONOUR sail it appeared to him a very simple
case. The sole point was, who was the person de-
scribed as " Edward Weld, of Lulwarth, in the county of
Dorset?" There existed not the shadow of a doubt that
J,:seph Weld was the person described in, and intended by,
the will. The case was so plain that he would not be
justified, it being a mere trust, in sending it to a Court of
Law.

The result, therefore, is that tho plaintiff is entitled
to the estates.

SECONDARIES' COURT, Mdnch 23 __.
FIGE V. EYRES.

The plaintiff's attorney said his client was the pro-
prietor of the Portugal Hotel in Fleet-street. In Sep-
tember last the defendant came to the plaintiff's, and
staid there seventeen or eighteen days, during which
time ho ran up a bill for rofreshment and lodging,
amounting to 211. 143. Id. He alio lost two Separate
bets for 51. each about Launcelot; and as there was a
count in the declaration upon this special contract, and
the defendant had not pleaded, but allowed judgment to
go by default, it was within the principle of the case King
v. Bert, Bth Dowling's Reports, in which it was held by
the Court that the thfendant having admitted the debt,
could not afterwards open the circumstances under which
it arote. _ .

The waiter of the plaintiff proved the reasonableness o
the chLrge3.
The ation was undefended. _ _

Tie SECONDARY observed there were several charges
for " bottoms cf brandy," and as the law provided that no
victualler could recover for spirits supplied under two
gallons at a time, " the bottoms" must be deducted. The
plaintiff's attorney was quite right as to the law of wages.
'Elbe " bottoms " of brandy being deducted,
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff of 201. 12s Id,
COURT OF B 4NKRUPTCY, MARCH 30.
IN THE MATTER Or THOMAS HAMLET.

The bankrupt in this case was the well-known jeweller
of Coventry-street, but was described as of " No. I,
Printer-street, Leicester-square, in the county of Middle
sex, gold and silversmith and jeweller, dealer and chap-
man." The fiat was dated on the 20th inst., but not is-
sued until the 26th, Mr. George Lackingtoa 'citing the
ofiicial assignee.
The petitioning creditor is Mr. Thomas Marsh Nelson,
of No. 3, Charles-street, St. James's-square. architect,
who holds a mortgage upon certain houses of the bank.
rupt in Limehouse, for a part of the debt contracted
with him in building the Prince's Theatre, Oxford-street,
and the sale of a part of the bankrupt's property has been
proceeded with for the last two days. The choice of as-
signees will take place in a few days.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, lIIARcir 30,
(Before Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS.)
IN RE GEORGE CISOWLES.

The insolvent in this case applied to be discharged on
bail.

Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS observed that very little
more than twelva months had elapsed since the inselvent
had pass.: d through the Court before ; and he now found
that the amount of his debts was 4501., for which 1251. was
without consideration.

The applicant stated that he became security to M-.
[lorry Lewes, one ef the trustees to a loan society in
Buckingham-street, Strand, for a sum of money ad-
vanced to a person named Wigley.
The COMNIISSIONER—.SO I perceive by the schedule;
and I also find that this person is out on bail to the Court,
and you, his security, are here to-day applying to be libe-
rated under similar circumstances.

The insolvent's bail were about justifying, when
The COMMISSIONER (addressing the clerk to the insol-
vent's attorney) said that on looking over the schedule ho ob-
served a numher of interlineations :AU ini ial letters marked
opposite different items, which the insolvent said had been
done since he attached his signature, and before proceeding
farther with the case be ( Mr. Commissioner R.) should
require an explanation.
The Clerk said the initials were those of his master's
( Mr. E. Spencer's) name, and the alterations required to
be male, as Mr. Spencer was very near-sightld.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said this was a very unsatis-
factory answer. lie should stay the proceedings until
Thursday, when Mr. Spencer would be r,:quircel to attend
and afford the Court a proper explanat'on.
The case was accordingly ordered to stand over till
Thursday next.
ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE,

HONE KING&TON, Ofeacit 3().
Both Courts proceeded to business this day. There are
severity-eight causes entered on the civil side, and the calendar
contains the names of thirty-eight prisoners, and the offences
comprise murder, attempted murder, burglary, and other
serious offences.

C ?GOWN COURT.
( Before Mr. Baron PARK e. )
Thomas Harris, aced 34, and Sarah Harris, aged 32, his
w;fe, were indicted for feloniously stealing six boxes and eighty
pieces of Madras handkerchiefs, value 1501., the property of
Wiliam Cobb.

It appeared from the evidence, that in the month of De-
comber last an Indiaman, called the Claudine, on her voyage
homeward, was stranded at Margate, and it was found
necessary to remove the greater part of her cargo on shore,
and amongst it were a number of boxes containing a quantity
of pieces of handkerchiefs that had been manufactured at
Madras, and were consigned to merchants in London, and
these, with the rest (.1 the property, were placed in
a warehouse belonging to Mr. Cobb, who is an agent to
Lloyd's, and a Custom's officer had them in charge. The
warehouse was left safe on the night of the 4th December, and
the next morning it was discovered that it had been entered,
and that several of the boxes of handkerchiefs had been stolen,
and from the tracks that were visible, it was evident that a
horse and cart had been employed to assist in the robbery. The
prisoner lived in a place calved Somerset-buildings, in the Oid
Kent•road, and it was proved that on the day before the rob-
bery, he went out with his horse and cart, and did not return
till a late hour of the night, and it was then observed that his
cart was heavily laden, and, on his house being searched by the
police, the greater part of the stolen property was found in it.
The prisoner and his wife absconded from the lodgings in
Somerset-buildings, and when they were taken into custody,
they were found living in another part of the town, under an
assumed name. It was also proved that the prisoner was at
Margate with a horse and cart on the evening the robbery was
committed.

The Jury found the male prisoner Guilty, and acquitted the
woman.

Mr. Baron PARKE said that the circumstances of the case
clearly showed that the prisoner was a practised offender, and
he could not suffer him to remain in this country. He was
then ordered to be transported for seven years. _ _

Baron PArtxx told the prisoner that she appeared to be a
cotditmed shoplifter, and it was absolutely necessary that
tradesmen shotild be protected from such persons as her. He
then ordered her to he transported for seven years.
The moment the sentence seas pronounced, the prisoner ex-
claimed, " Thank you ; I'm very much obliged to you, and
May you it there till I come back, you old -."
The prisoner was about to utter some more imprecations,
and was with difficulty removed from the bar.
The cases disposed of on the Civil side did pot possess the
least possible interest.

OXFORD CIRCUIT—MoNmours, 111Anen 29.
Mfg Baron Gurney and Mr. Justice Coleridge arrived in
this town oil gaturday afternoon, and the business of the as-
sizes commenced this niorning at ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Gur-
ney presiding in the crown court, and Mr. Justice Coleridge
at nisi prius. The calendar contains the names of nearly 90
prisoners, but with very few exceptions the offences with
Which they are charged are of an ordinary charac!er. There
were but nice causes for trial, one of which is a special jury,
and six of which have been tried in the course of the day.
