QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE,
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN, Mr. Justice PATTESON, and
Mr. Justice ERLE,)
DOE DEM. NEWNAN v. RUSHEE.
Mr. CROWDER moved for leave to enter a nonsuit
in this case, which was tried at the last Salis-
bury assizes, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff, but
with leave to make this motion. The simple question
involved in the case was, whether or no a conveyance of
property for a valuable consideration got rid of a prior
conveyance of a voluntary character. For the defendant
it was contended that by the 27th of Elizabeth it did,
and a case has been decided in Ireland which supports
that position.—Rule
31( ELEY v. IirTHE AND ANOTHER•
Mr. WHATELEY moved, on behalf of the defendant,
for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff
in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial had.
The action was for money had and received, and it arose
out of the following dispute:—ln 1816, upon the mar-
riage of a lady with a gentleman named Hythe, a settle-
ment was made, by which certain property was vested
in the husband for life, with remainder to the
lady in event of her surviving him. At the
death of both the property was to be sold

riage, aNn

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—NOTTINGHAM, TOESDAI
—A fatal accident occurred last night to a young woman, r
siding at the village of Lon-green, near this town. The cir
cumstances were of a very singuar nature. Six weeks ago,
the deceased's brother (Joseph Renshaw) died, leaving
will, which placed his property in the possession of his bro'
ther, Jonas. Several months before Joseph Renshaw's de"
mist) a will had been drawn out, leaving the whole of 1111
property to his wife; but a few days prior to his death thedocument had been cancelled and a will substituted, which
left the property to his brother. Shrtly after his death Prof;
ceedings were instituted striving to disprove the legality e
the last will. While these matters were pending, the bro..
ther's wife came yesterday (Monday) afternoon to the White
Horse, to strive to arrange all disagreements and put a stop
to all judicial proceedings. After having stayed in the house
an hour, she was passing from the bar to the parlour, when,
owing to some cause, which is at present unexplained, her
toot slipped, and she fell down the cellar steps. The unfor-
tunate woman's head came in contact with the cellar floor,
bruising it in the most frightful manner. Medical assist'
ance was :.peedily procured, but proved of no avail; the poor
woman was soon no more. An inquest will be held to-Me"
row upon the body, when, doubtless, circumstances will
transpire which will throw a light upon the whole affair'
The deceased was named Wightman about 33 years of age,
and was landlady of the Lumley Castle, at Icon-gree°' 5
village about a mile from Nottingham.

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER..--MISS Talbot--
