LAW IN'TELLIGENC
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dec. 9.
(Before Sir JAMES PARKER.)

ROSENBORO AND ANOTHER v. JAMES HOLDER ALLEYNE
AND ALEXANDER MIGEACHY ALLEYNE

This was a motion for an ex parte injunction to re-•
strain the defendants, James Holder Alleyne and
Alexander M'Geachy Alleyne, from disposing of or
intermeddling with any of the moneys or effects of
the partnership of which they were members with the
plaintiffs, Mr. Frederick Rosenborg and Mr. Conrad
Montgomery, and from drawing, accepting, endors-
ing, or negotiating any draft, bill, or note in the
name of the said partnership, or pledging or using the
credit or name of such partnership.
Mr. CAIRNS stated that the facts alleged in the
affidavits on which he moved appeared to be, that in
the month of February last the Messrs. Rosenborg
and Conrad Montgomery agreed to form a partner-
ship with James Holder Alleyne and Alexander
M`Geachy Alleyne, in the business of working a
patent for manufacturing staves, casks, bariels, and
similar articles. By the deed of partnership it was
provided that it should continue for twenty-one years,
subject to be determined at the end of fourteen years;
that all the moneys, bills, notes, and securities of
the firm should be kept at the bankers of the part-
nership, to be drawn ont only by cheque, or note
signed by two of the partners; that no partner with-
out the written consent of his copartners should en-
ter into any bond or guarantee, or become bail or
surety, or confess any judgment, or do or suffer any
act or thing whereby the effects of the partnership
might be rendered liable to be taken in execution, or
the credit thereof affected by or for his private en-
gagements, acts, or defaults. A suit had been in-
stituted to dissolve the partnership, there having been
last month an indictment in the Central Criminal
Court, which was subsequently tried in the Court of
Cueen's Bench, charging James Holder Alleyne and
Alexander ArGreachy Alleyne with having conspired
with another person to defraud Robert Blair Kennedy
of the sum of 7,3001. in bets on the performance of a
mare called Pigeon, they at the time knowing that
such mare was unfit to run from lameness. The de-
fendants were both fonnd guilty, after a trial before
Lord Campbell and a special jury, and a sentence
was pronounced of two years' imprisonment against
Holder Alleyne, and of six months' imprisonment
against Alexander M'Creachy Alleyne, but they bad
both absconded. The affidavit stated that the effect
of these proceedings had been to injure the cooperage
business, and that it would not be possible success-
fully to carry on the partnership so long as the delin-
quent partners had the slightest connexion with it.
It was stated that the two Alleynes had entered into
recognizances to appear and take their trial ; but
they had forfeited these by absconding previously
to the sentence. The partners were apprehensive that
the property of the cooperage business would be seized
under Crown process, and they believed that their
partners (the Alleynes) were wholly without resources
from which to satisfy the amount secured by the
recognizances. They also stated that they had reason
to:suspect that the Alleynes intended to negotiate
bills, accepted or drawn in the partnership name, in
order to obtain money ; that they would probably
attempt to draw cheques on the bankers, and assign
their interest in the partnership property. It was
stated that they had recently written from Calais,
expressing their distressed feelings, and deploring that
upon their trial anything had been disclosed respecting
their connexion with the partnership, and suggesting
that the fact should be contradicted in the public
newspapers, at the same time hinting at the probabi-
lity of a transfer of their share in the partnership to
another party. The plaintiffs also stated that a
professional friend of the absconding partners had
represented their desire to come to some arrangement
for the future conduct of the business; but the
plaintiffs could listen to nothing less than a dissolution
of the partnership so far as it related to the Alley nes.
Attempts had been made to find out the Alleynes,
but a messenger who had gone to the Continent with
a deed of dissolution, had been unable to find the
defendants.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he thought the plain-
tiffi entitled to be protected by injunction, and would
make the order i❑ the terms prayed.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec, 9.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)

IN TUE 'HATTER OF JOSEPH RILSBY, OTHERWISE

THOILIS SUAKESHAFT.

This insolvent appeared for further examination.
Mr. Sargood opposed for several creditors.
The complaint urged on the part of the creditors
was•
rupt in the country, had come to London, and traded
in the that
leather line withinsolvent,
being an uncertificated bank
the opposing creditors, who
the
represented wholesale houses in the leather trade, in
an assumed name of " Shakeshaft." Such conduct,
it was contended, was to be reprobated, and visited
with a judgment.
Mr. COOKE urged that unless the insolvent had
adopted a new name the assignees under his bank-
ruptcy would have been in a position to have seized
the property supplied by the new creditors. He
submitted this view of the case for the consideration
of the Court in extenuation of the insolvent's conduct.

The Cum, COMMISSIONER thought the insolvent
had been a sufficient time in prison for any offence
committed in assuming the name he had done. No
doubt it would have been better had he told the whole
truth; but, under all the circumstances of the case,
he was of opinion that he was entitled to his discharge.
The insolvent was accordingly discharged.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Dec. 9.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERIE.)
Edward Wood was charged with having at Man-
chester, on the 25th of October last, feloniously killed
and slain James Gayman.

Mr. Cobbett prosecuted. The prisoner was unde-
fended. _

It Pppeared that on the night in question the pri-
soner and the deceased were in the Nelson Tavern,
situated in Ancoats, Manchester, at which place a
club of tin-plate workers assembled, to which they
both belonged. Both of them were Irishmen, and at
the time were much in liquor. They talked together
for some time in a friendly manner, and then the con-
versation turned upon the trades which their fathers
had carried on in Dublin, and as to whether they
were worth 2501. This created a bad feeling, and in
a short time the deceased jumped up and struok the
prisoner several violent blows in the face. The land-
lord then came in and laid hold of the deceased by
the shoulder to keep him off, and while doing so the
prisoner, who had in the meantime laid hold of the
poker, struck the deceased with it over the head,
which caused such a severe wound that death ensued
from it on the 12th of November.
Hie Loßnsuir having'surnmed up, the jury. returned
a verdict of Guilty sentence, five months imprison-
ment.

Joseph Brooks, alias Joseph Stockdale, was con-
victed for having, at Salford, feloniously attempted
to extort money from one Samuel Williams, by ac-
cusing him of endeavouring to commit a nameless
offence, and was sentenced to twenty years' trans-
portation.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
George lllcock, 23, was charged with the man-
slaughter of Louisa Teel, at Manchester, on the 10th
of October last.
Mr. Ovens prosecuted, Mr. Wheeler defended the
prisoner,
It appeared that on the oceasion of the visit of the
aQnudeethnetdoi:liaanychester, in October last, many persons
frequent dischargegdescription,in
testified their loyalty not merely by illuminations
although the mayor had forbidden it by proclamation.

In a place called Turner-street, a part of the town
inhabited by the labouring population, and which on
this occasion was densely crowded, the prisoner and
several companions of the same age or thereabouts,
were amusing themselves in this way. Many children
were attracted by their proceedings, and crowded
round to watch the various operations of loading and
discharging the fire-arms. Among them was a little
girl, named Louisa Teel, who carried a child in her
urms. She was standing on one side of the street,
within the iron railings of a warehouse, nearly oppo-
site to where the prisoner and his companions were oc-
cupied. They had two cannons, about a foot in length,
which were placed upon temporary carriages, and
one person also possessed a pistol. The prisoner came
out of a house carrying a red-hot poker, and it was
deposed by one of the witnesses that there was a cry
of " stand clear," then the reports of three pieces ;
and when the smoke which followed had cleared the

little girl was discovered in the area. She was picked
up by some of the bystanders, and immediately car-
ried to the Royal Infirmary, bleeding from the head.
Within a few moments after her admission she ex-
pired. A post mortem examination was made by Mr.
Skinner, the house surgeon, and he deposed to the
fact that a portion of the wadding had pierced the
skull and penetrated to the brain, which, of course,
was the cause of death. There was some considerable
confusion in the narrative which was derived from the
different witnesses ; and at the close of the case for
the prosecution.

his LORDSHIP, without calling on Mr. Wheeler
for the prisoner, directed the jury to acquit. He said
the unfortunate event could be in no way considered
as other than accident.

The prisoner was forthwith discharged.
Thomas Gleeson, aged 26, was charged with the
manslaughter of Joseph Younghusband.
Mr. John Cross conducted the prosecution, and
Mr. Wheeler defended the prisoner.
It appeared that on the evening of Saturday, the
20th of September last, the prisoner went into a
beer-house in the Stratford New-road, Manchester,
kept by a man named Kay, and having sat down in
the bar, shortly afterwards the deceased came in
rather the worse for liquor; having entered into con-
versation with the prisoner, he wanted to make a bet
that he had been furthest from land of the two, and
threw down a sovereign on the table in order that the
bet might be taken, but a young man who was present
took up the sovereign and would not allow the bet to
be made. Some words then ensued, and the prisoner
struck the deceased, and shortly after they went out
of the house accompanied by a man named Cain. The
landlord followed, and found them outside, the pri-
soner with his coat off, as if they were going to fight,
and a scuffle took place ; something was seen to be
thrown by one of them in the scuffle, and then the
men ran away, and went into a butcher's shop, where
the prisoner said to Cain, who was with him, " I'll
be the death of that --," and shortly after the de-
ceased got hold of the prisoner by the hair of his head,
and then the prisoner, who was lying on the ground,
made a stab at the deceased, who immediately
cried out, "I'm done." It was then discovered that
the deceased had been stabbed, and on being taken to
a surgeon's he died almost immediately. When the
prisoner was arrested he seemed very much put out
of the way, and said that he ran at the deceased with
a knife, but did not know whether he had stabbed the
deceased or not. On a post mortem examination
being made it was found that the knife had penetrated
between the fifth and sixth ribs, going right through
to the heart.

Mr. WHEELER addressed the jury for the prisoner.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, stating that
it was committed under very extenuating circum-
stances.

NAVAL INTELLI GEN CE.

It will be remembered that, for many years past, it
has been suggested that the great western naval port
should have a gunnery establishment, either as a branch
of the Excellent, or as an independent training school.
We believe that Captain Engledue, now the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's able superintendent at South-
ampton, more than a dozen years since suggested a
gunnery training department at Devonport, and offered
his services on that occasion to institute and establish
it, being fully equal to the duties from his experience as
the first lieutenant of the Excellent. Up to this time,
however, Devonport has not only been without a training
ship, but there has seldom been a spare sea-going
steamer kept at that port. Now, however, that so many
ships are coming home and are being paid off, the Ad •
miralty find themselves in a position to carry out to
some extent what has been so long deferred, and we be-
lieve it is at length determined that, as a commencement,
the frigate appropriated for the exercise of the Coast
Guardmen shall be turned into a tender to the Excel-
lent, on board of which the same course of practice and
instruction will be carried out as at Portsmouth.—Herald.
The following officers had interviews with Rear-Ad-
miral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P., at Whitehall, yester-
day:—Captain Wetherall; Commanders J. B. Cator, W.
Barrio, Rswstorne, Dwyer ; Lieutenants K. Mac-
leod, Campion, Crang, Robinson, G. M. Jackson, Master
James Hardie; Paymasters E. Munday, Maddock, T. E.
Gould.

Commodore Superintendent Eden, of Woolwich Dock-
yard, has proceeded on six weeks leave of absence.
Captain W. B. Monypenny, who was promoted a few
days since, entered the navy April 29, 1823, on board
the Ramillies, 74, passed his examination July 4, 1529.
While in charge, in 1833, of one of the _lEtna's decked
boats, manned with but four hands, he accidentally lost
sight of the ship off the Straits of Gibraltar, but provi-
dentially succeeded in reaching Portsmouth after a pas-
sage of nineteen days, arriving there on September 18.
Towards the close of the same year he again sailed for
the African coast in the .z-Ena. He continued in that
vessel under the command of Lieutenant William Ar-
lett and Captain Alexander Thomas Emeric Vidal
(ten months of the time as Acting Lieutenant) was
promoted Sept. 30,.1837, to the rank of Lieutenant. He
served Nov. 3, 1837, as additional, to the President, 52,
flag-ship, South America; and June 16, 1838, as senior
to the Sulphur surveying vessel, commanded by his old
Captain, Sir E. Belcher. On his subsequent arrival
in China from the Pacific, we find him assisting, i❑
the early part of 1841, at the capture of Chuenpee, Ty-
cocktow, and the Bogue; uniting also in the attack made
by a squadren under Captain Herbert on the enemy's
camp, tort, and ship Cambridge, bearing the Chinese
admiral's flag, at their position below Whampoa Reach,
where 98 guns were in the whole destroyed; and parti-
cipating in the operations against Canton. As a reward
for his exertions he was promoted to the rank of com•
mender by commission dated June 8, 1841; and lastly
commanded the Sealark, 8, on the coast of Africa.

Captain Douglas, also promoted ,last week, is the son
of General Sir Howard Douglas. He entered the navy
Jan. 27, 1833, and obtained his first commission 'Feb.
14, 1840. He was afterwards appointed, Oct. 13 follow-
ing, to the Hastings, 72, Princess Charlotte, 104, Power-
ful, 84, Formidable, 84, all employed on the Mediter-
ranean station. He was made a commander Feb. 28,
1845, and from June 29, 1846, was in command of the
Pantaloon, 10, on the coast of Africa and West Indies.
Commander John Crawshaw Bailey, just promoted,
is the brother of one of the M.P.'s for Hereford. He
entered the Navy in 1834, and was made lieutenant
1844, served in the Agincourt, 72, and Wolverine, 16, at
China, and commanded the Sharpshooter screw-schooner
in the Mediterranean and coast of Brazils, and on the
latter station made ten captures of slavers.
The Admiralty have ordered that the 100-gun screw-
ship St. Jean d'Acre, is to put in frame at Devonport
as soon as possible; and that the 700-horse screw-ship
James Watt, building at Pembroke, is to be pro-
ceeded with, and to have additional hands placed at work
upon her.
Avon steam-tender sailed from Devonport on Mon-
day with supernumeraries for the Britannia, taking the
body of the Rev. Mr. Langthin, late son-in-law to Ad-
miral Sir J. A. Ommanney, oino died at the Admiral's
house on Tuesday last. He will be landed at Ports-
mouth, and taken from thence to the family mausoleum
in Hampshire.
Ceylon, old frigate depot-ship at Malta, will bo broken
up at that port, as soon as her officers and crew are
transferred to the Hercules.

Fury, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Tatham, fitting at
Woolwich, proceeds to the Mediterranean.
Havannah, 19, Captain Erskine, was mustered, in-
spected, and exercised on Monday morning, by Com-
modore Seymour (not by Captain Lowe, as reported
yesterday), who expressed himself highly pleased with the
discipline and good order with which they went through
their exercise, and also the general discipline of the ship,
both officers and men.

Ascendant convict-ship arrived in Plymouth Sound on
Monday, having male convicts on board for Bermuda.
PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 9.—The Britannia, 120, is being
expedited as fast as possible; in overhauling her bottom
it was found necessary to remove six streaks of copper
from her water line to exunino her caulking. The
caulkers and shipwrights at work on her are as close as
they can stand on the stage.
Tho Flying Fish will be paid off alongside the yard on
Saturday next.
The Hustings, 72, Roar-Admiral Austin, C,8., left
Penang (prior to tho last mail) for Singapore and Hong-
kong, in tow of the steam-sloop Sphinx. It is be-
lived the Hastings will return to India again early
next year.
