LAW INTELLIGENCE.-:THIS 7.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before `'ice .Chancellor Sir V. P. Wood.)
JAQUES V. JAQUES-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—The contest in
this case is whether a partnership fcr building cottages
was entered into between the plaintif, Alfred, and defen-
dant, Thomas Jaques, brothers, and whether the money
advanced by the plaintiff and his father to the defendant
for the purchase of land and houses built thereon was
partnership property. The plaintiff claimed the property
in question as partnership property, and the defendant
claimed it as his private property. His Honour, on re-
viewing the evidence produced, which in many points was
conflicting, and in some particulars not trustworthy, came
to the conclusion that there was a pa.-tnership for building
houses entered into between the the plaintiff and defendant,
and that the money advanced by the plaintiff and hit
father to the defendant for the purchase of land and build-
ing houses thereon was partnership property, and declared
accordingly.

His Honour directed the properly to be sold, and the
mortgagee, Mr. Shepherd, to conduct the sale ; the partner-
ship accounts to be taken, debts, interest, and costs to be
paid, and residue, if any, divided, with liberty to apply.

No costs of suit on either side.
HALL V. WILSON.-JUDG➢IENP.

The only question in this suit was whether tke testator
intended his leasehold property to be sold by his trustees.
His Honour, the Vice• Chancellor, on considering the
terms of the testator's will, was of opinion that the testator
did not intend that his leasehold property in Regent-street
was to be sold by his trustees, but that it should remain in-
tact (untouched), and declared accordingly.
Costs of all parties interested to be paid out of the trust
funds.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the sitting Commis-
sioner, but was engaged at a private meeting up to half-
past 12.

IN RE HEATHER.

This bankrupt was described as a builder, of East Mous •
ley, and came up for his certificate.
Mr. S. Chidley appeared for the assignees, but did not
oppose.

Mr. Brough supported the application, and urged several
points in the, bankrupt's favour.

His Honour said that the bankrupt had carried on busi-
ness beyond a time he ought to have done, but, as there
was no opposition, he might take a certificate of the second
class; but he ought to take warning, for if he came again
he would not be so leniently dealt with.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DA Y.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ANNOYING A TRADESMAN.-Mr. James Kennedy, of
29, Castle-street, Oxford-street, feather manufacturer, was
charged, before Mr. Beadon, with annoying Mr. W. H.
Heath, hatter, of 261, Oxford street, in his business.
Mr. Heath said the defendant came to his shop yester-
day, created a great disturbance, and, on his at length
getting Mm outside, he caused a large number of persons
to assemble round the house by calling him a swindler, and
he was therefore obliged to give him into custody.

Defendant said he called for the settlement of an account.
Mr. Heath ordered him out of his shop, saying, that if he
did not leave he would turn him out. He told Mr. Heath
he would call when he was in a better temper, when Mr.
Heath sent for a constable, and he had been locked up
ever since.

Mr. Beadon (addressing the defendant) said his language
on the previous afternoon, when he was brought to this
court, was so abominable to all persons, that he was obliged
to have him locked up in the cells. He had never heard a
man use more blackguard language.
Mr. Heath said he told the defendant to call when he
was sober, and then it was he called him a swindler.
A gentleman who was in the shop at the time confirmed
the plaintiff's statement, and said fie heard the defendant
addressing the crowd, and pointing Mr. Heath out as a
swindler.

Mr. Beadon said persons were not to be called swindlers
in this way. If the defendant had any claim on the corn-
plainant he could go to the county court. He should fine
him 405., or in default 14 days' imprisonment.
