LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 9.
THE NEW LORD MAYOR.

the face, which, to use witness's expression, would not
hurt a fly. Gale then left the tap-room, and as he was
entering it again the prisoner gave him a tremendous
kick on the lower part of his stomach, which caused him
to fall immediately. "'Witness contrived to get him out
to the step of a door in the neighbourhood, where he lay
in great agony until police-constable II 24 came to their
assistance; and then the deceased, with the assistance of
two men, was conveyed to his own home, but had sub-
sequently to be removed to the London Hospital, where
he lingered until Sunday, when death put an end to his
sufferings.
Mr. J. C. Wordsworth, one of the surgeons of the
London Hospital, saw the deceased on Saturday, when
he appeared to be doing well, and he consequently did
not interfere with the treatment of the dressers. He
continued doing well till Saturday evening ; but it
appeared on Sunday morning the deceased had occasion
to go to the water-closet, where he remained so long that
one of the nurses went in search of him, and found him
in a state of great exhaustion. When he (Mr. Words-
worth) was called to see him he found him in a state of
extreme collapse, from which he never recovered.
The prisoner said in his defence that the statement of
the woman Cooke was untrue; that the young girl he
was larking with accidentally touched the deceased in
the eye, when a scuffle took place, and both parties
kicked at each other. He (Duggan) was not able to
fight the deceased, the latter being the bigger man.
As no post-mortem examination had taken place, and
there were no external marks of violence, Mr. Broderip
remanded the case until Wednesday next to allow an
opportunity of examining the viscera.
A good-looking young Spaniard, named Antonio
Oudiros, was put into the dock, charged with stabbing a
man named John Maguire, at the Harrow public-house,
Poplar. The evidence was very brief.
It appeared that the complainant, about half-past
eight o'clock the previous night, was standing by the
fire at the Harrow public-house, with his hands in his
pocket, when the prisoner rushed in with an open knife
in his hand and stabbed the complainant in the left arm,
and immediately ran away. The,complainant had never
seen prisoner before, or given him any provocation for
the act. He had occasionally met him in the house,
but had never had words with him. The knife pierced
the complainant's jacket and two shirts, inflicting a
wound nearly one inch in length, and dividing the inte-
guments.
Jeremiah Holland confirmed this statement, and added,
that in drawing away the knife the foreigner cut Ma-
guire's hand. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was taken
into custody at the Green Dragon, by police-constable
264 K, having been given in charge by the prosecutor,
whose arm was bleeding profusely at the time.
Mr. Robertson, the surgeon of the division, deposed
to the nature of the wound, after which

At half-past two o'clock the new Lord Mayor, accom-
panied by the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and the City
authorities came into this Court and invited the Lord
Chancellor to the dinner at Guildhall.

ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 9.
FILET W. FILET.

Lord LANGDALE (the case having closed) issued an
order that the matter in dispute should be referred to
the Master, to make a further inquiry, and after his
report had been returned he would give his judgment.
ROBINSON V. WALL.

This cause came on upon a bill filed by the plaintiffs
in this suit (Robinson and Gillett), praying for the spe-
cific performances of a contract entered into by the de-
fendants for the purchase of estates which were put
up for sale by auction, and purchased by Wall, as
the representative of Flight, for the sum of 50,000/.
Messrs. Kiadersley and Chundleys appeared in support
of the prayer of the plaintiff's bill, which was opposed
by Mr. Turner, with whom was Mr. Rogers. The ar-
guments in the case had not concluded at the rising of
the Court.
In the course of the day the new Lord Mayor entered
the Court in procession, and invited the Master of the
Rolls to an entertainment to be given this evening at
Guildhall.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 9.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE NEW LORD MAYOR.

Sir George Carroll, the neWLordMayor, accompa-
nied b 7 the City authorities, came into this Court in the
course of the morning, and invited his Honour to the
dinner at Guildhall this evening.
(Before Vice-Chancellor J. K. BRUCE.)
The Court was occupied during the greater part of
the day with a cause: which was part-heard, entitled
Massey v. Johnson, in which his Honour directed an
issue.

....
The new Lord Mayor made his customary visit to the
Court, and invited his Honour to the Civic dinner at
Guildhall this evening.
(Wore Sir J. WIGRAM.)
IN RE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was a petition, in which the petitioner, who was
tenant for life in shares in the above company, sought
for confirmation and consequential directions with regard
to a sum of money in Court. It appeared that this case
had been referred to the Master to make inquiries, and
he accordingly had made a report, the puport of which
was that application was warranted, but that a smaller
sum than that mentioned in the bill of the petitioner
should be allocated to his use.
His HONOUR ordered the matter to stand over till to-
morrow, when it might be mentioned.

The prisoner was heard in his defence through the
medium of an interpreter. He said he was intoxicated
at the time, and did not know anything whatever re-
specting the charge.
He was committed to Newgate for trial.
