COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 24.

(Before the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury. )
THE KING V. JADIS AND ANOTHER.
This was a prosecution preferred by Mr. Carmichael
Smith against the defendants, Messrs. Jadis and Ne-
venson, joint paymasters of exchequer bills, charging
them with conspiring to deprive him of his situation of
joint paymaster by means of a false and libellous letter.
The facts of this case have been before the public on
several occasions.
Lord DENMAN, before the Attorney-General could
address the jury for the defence, did not see any thing
to support this prosecution for conspiracy ; and the
Jury found the defendants Not Guilty.
BIGG 51. LEEDHAM AND HUGHIII.
This was an action of trespass brought by the plain-
tiff, a tradesman residing in the Harrow-road, against
the defendant, for breaking and entering his dwelling-
house, and taking away a quantity of cheese.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 100/.

PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 24.

LEWIS V. BAINBRIDGE AND BAINBRIDGE.

This was a question on the admission of an allega-
tion propounded as one of the last testamentary acts
of the deceased party in the cause, Mr. T. Bain-
bridge, in a letter addressed to his executors, con-
taining certain alterations and instructions relative to
his property. The deceased executed several testa-
mentary papers, his will bearing date on the 26th of
November, 1827. The paper propounded as being
entitled to probate would make various alterations in
the mode of distribution. The personal pro-
perty of the deceased amounted to 50,0001., and he
had also a freehold estate in the county of Surrey.
The admissibility of the allegation was opposed.
Dr. LUSHINGTON, for the executors named in the
will of the deceased, opposed the admission of the
allegation, and contended that the deceased having
executed so many testamentary papers, he could not
have intended this letter of instructions to be acted
upon, affecting, as it did, some of the distributions in
the will and codicils.

Sir JOHN NicnoLL would admit the allegation to
proof.

GOLDSMID V. SALOMONS.

This was also a question on the admissibility of an
allegation propounding the draft of a will as the last
testamentary act of the deceased, Mrs. Sarah Eliason.
The draft of a will had been prepared by the deceased,
and given to her solicitor to prepare an instrument for
execution ; but before this was done she was taken ill
and became a lunatic. The property of the deceased
amounted to about 6,0001. . _ _

Sir J. Nicnou., after hearing counsel, admitted the
allegation to proof.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 24.

James Buggins, late of the neighbourhood of War-
wick, farmer, was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE on the
part of two creditors named Linforth and Hackelt. He
was supported by Mr. COOKE.
The insolvent was before the court some time ago,
when his petition was dismissed ; he had remained in
prison from that period. The insolvent had been an
extensive farmer, and the opposing creditor Linforth
rented a small adjoining farm of the same landlord, Mr.
Hackelt, the other opposing creditor. The insolvent,
who is a married man, seduced his only daughter, Mary
Linforth, and had a child by her. An action was
brought to recover compensation, and the cause was,
by consent, referred to arbitration, and a sum of 901:
was awarded to Mr. Linforth; the costs amounted to
311., neither of which sums had he received, and the
insolvent during the pendency of the suit disposed of
the whole of his property to the injury of his creditors.
It was complained against the insolvent that he had
fraudulently made away with his property, and had
rendered himself liable to a remand for the damages
recovered in the action for seduction. ,
It was contended on the part of the insolvent tnat as
the proceedings in the cause had been referred, it did
not come within the provisions of the statute.
The Court held that the opposition for the damages

suffered, sentenced him to four calendar months' im-
prisonment.
