LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 5.
(Sittings in 13anco.)
REVEEUX CAUSE. —VIE DUKE OF DTJCEINGIIANI v. TEES
COMMISSIONERS OF ISLAND REVENUE.This was a case stated for the opinion of the Court under
the 15th section of the New Stamp Act (13th and 14th
Victoria, chap. 97),
which provides that if a party presenting
an instrument liable to the stamp duty for the decision of
the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, as to the proper
amount of duty to be paid thereon, shall be dissatisfied with
such decision, he may appeal therefrom to this Court. It
appears that in 1845 the Duke of Buckingham and the
Blarquis of Chandos joined in a deed of trust to raise
1,100,0001. to be charged on the estates of the Duke or
the purpose of paving off his debts to that amount.
Under that deed a sum just below 500,000/. was raised, and
the debts were reduced by about half that sum, the balance
being appropriated to his own uses by the Duke. In 1847
his Grace made application to the Marquis to join him in
raising other sums, and the Marquis, though he refused to
assent to that course,
i agreed to purchase the equity of re-
demption and to join n charging the estates, whether settled
on him or otherwise, and the personalty of his father, with
the payment of a sum little below 1,500,0001. The only
stipulation made by him as the consideration for charging
his reversion in estates, the rental of which was stated to be
52,0001. per annum, being that he should have 1,00.4. a year
as a preference charge while a bachelor, and 3,0001. a year if
be should marry, with the power of charging the estates
with a further sum of 2,000/. for his children. This deed
was executed, and, as is well known, has been to a great
extent carried out between the parties. A doubt, however,
having arisen as to the propriety of the sum paid for the
stamps, this rase was drawn up, the Commissioners contend-
ing that the Marquis was to be taken to be the purchaser of
these estates fir 1,500,000/., within a fraction, and that the
duty ought to be paid as on that sum, under the eld Stamp
Act, 55th Geo. 111., which provides, inter alia, that " where
any lands shall be sold and conveyed in consideration,
wliolly or in part, of any sum charged thereon by way of
mortgage and then due to the purchaser, or shall be sold and
conveyed subject to any mortgage to be afterwards paid by
the purchaser, such sum shall be deemed to be the purchase
or consideration money, or part thereof, as the case may be,
in respect whereof an ad valorem duty shall be paid."
Mr. Peacock and the Solicitor-General having now been
heard on behalf of the Duke of Buckingham and the Com-
missioners of Inland Revenue respectively,
Sir F. Poc.LOCK (Chief Baron) stated that, as the case was
quite novel and most important, the Court would take time
to consider it.—Judgment deferred.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A LADY Or FORTUNE BY
FIRE. —Last evening Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at
33, Albion-street, Hyde Park-square, the residence of the
late Miss Sarah Gladstone Clark, aged 51, who was burned
to death. On Saturday morning the cook, as usual, took to
deceased's bedroom her breakfast. Having knocked at the
door without receiving an answer, she went into the room,
when she was horrified at beholding her mistress sitting on
the coal-scuttle near the fire-place, almost burned to a cinder,
the rushlight screen standing near her, and the rushlight
melted down. Dr. James Hill, Guildford-place, deceased's
medical attendant, stated the deceased was very nervous. He
had no doubt that her dress having caught Are she fainted,.
and thus perished, without being able to call assistance.
Verdict, " Deceased was found frightfully burned in her bed-
room; but whether her death resulted from firs or fright
there is no evidence to prove."

A NOVEL.

;` The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
Lewdly see displayed such Nish and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, an 4 by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this irom the glowing lan-
guage is which he e' presses his feeings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects jest mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
qu matters that are the prima motilia of the actions which cha-
ligaterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
bas marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Diaraelia, Man"
'terser. and Snlythes,"—Observer.
"' Sllwootr is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
log beauty, and is written In pure
.ind forcible language, with
~ ngreeat
d taste and power. It is one ot the most interesting and
gaging novels which the present season has produced. tbe cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher ot the truth of what vre.eha_v_e_
