LAW LYTELLIUL'NCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)

THE EARL OP TYRONE Y. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD,

The object of this suit was to take" the opinion of the
Court on the construction of the will of the late Marquis of
Waterford, dated in August, 1852.

The testator died in March last year without issue,
and his brother, Lord John Beresford, succeeded to
the title. The present Marquis has four children
all under age, of whom the plaintiff is a child ; and the
question that was raised in the special case for the opinion
of the Court was—first, what interest does the present
marquis and his children become entitled to in the freehold
and chattel real of the last marquis under the words of his
will—" to .my brother, Lord John Beresford, and his chil-
dren in succession ;" second, whether any and what portion
of the personal estate of the testator (other than the chat-
tel real in his plate, jewels, &c.), passed by his will, and to
whom, and what extent of interest.

Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Erskine contended that
the present marquis took an estate for life in all the pro-
perty, with remainder to his children in succession in tail.
Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., and Mr. H. Farrel, on behalf of the
younger children, suggested that the will either conferred
on the Marquis and his children successive life estates with
an intestacy as to the inheritance, or made them joint
tenants in fee.

Their lordships were of opinion that John Beresford
took the leasehold estates in England and Ireland abso-
lutely as estates in fee. With respect to the personalty
—there was no interest in the personalty during the life
of the Marchioness Dowager as to the personalty in Eng-
land—the word property being used represents the class of
property in that locality, the land in Northumberland, the
defendant takes all the plate and jewels situated there, but
there is an intestacy during her life. There is also £l,OOO
a year to be paid to his sister out of his Irish property.
This property was devised under this provision.
Their lordships now considered the questions raised on
the construction of this will written by the testator were
sufficiently answered.

POLICE INTELLIGBNC'E.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A CHlLD.—Edward Murrell, a little boy,
was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a silver
watch of the value of £2, the property of Mr. Jas. Bradford,
watchmaker, of 58, Bolsover-street.

Mrs. Sarah Bradford, the wife of the prosecutor, said she
only left her bedroom for about 20 minutes, and on returning
to it missed the watch produced, the value of which was £2,
the property of her husband.

Lambert, 68 E, said he took the boy into custody, and on
telling him he was charged with stealing a watch he said
he did take it, and that he got into the bedroom by the back
window. He found in his possession a brass cannon, about
a foot long, of first-rate make (produced), which he said a
boy had given to him. He also believed he had robbed other
lodgers in the same house, where his parents also lived.
In answer to Mr. Bingham, the bey said he had a father,
that he was a carpenter, and worked at Messrs. Marshall
and Snelgreve's.

Mr. Bingham said it was a case in which the boy ought
to be sent to a reformatory, and he should therefore remand
him to see what could be done with him.
A USEFUL CiurioN.—William Morris, a cunning look-

ing boy, was charged with stealing an umbrella from the
hall of 23, Golden-square, as follows :
The boy went to the house, stating that he had called for
some music from Holborn, and while Miss Rapp, the
daughter of the prosecutor, had gone upstairs to maka in-
quiries, the boy seized up an umbrella and made off, but was
pursued by Ryan, of the C division, and taken into custody,
having in his flight thrown the umbrella down an area.
Remanded, it being believed other cases will be brought
against him.

THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CHAM-
PIONSHIP.

PRESENTATION TO TOM SAYERS.---(THis DAY.)
This morning the neighbourhood of Mincing-lane was
thrown into an extraordinary state of excitement by the
announcement that Tom Sayers, the renowned pugilist,
would attend, at the invitation of the gentlemen who deal
in colonial produce, and who do business at the Commer-
cial Sale Rooms, for the purpose of receiving a sum of
money which had been subscribed as a mark of respect for
his late prowess in the prize ring. Although the informa-
tion was conveyed to the persons privileged:to be present in
the rooms, together with such private friends as were con-
sidered eligible, the news spread like wildfire through the
city, and Mincing-lane was crowded long before
the champion was expected. He arrived a few minutes
before 12 o'clock, and was received with tremen•
dons demonstrations of applause. lle made his way
into the coffee-room, where he was received with great en-
thusiasm, and then conducted upstairs into the Indigo-
room, where the ceremony of presentation took place. Mr.
Seton Lang, one of the most eminent of the merchants fre-
quenting the rooms, ascended the rostrum from which the
brokers sell their goods, and taking Tom Sayers on his
right hand, introduced him to the meeting. Deafening
cheers followed the introduction, during which the Chain-
pion remained perfectly cool. Mr. Lang then addressed
the meeting in eulogy of Tom Sayers, and remarked that,
though the subscription flagged at first, it soon run up to
£lOO when it was known that the renowned Champion was
coming amongst them. (Cheers.) Many of the most
eminent merchants had subscribed, as well as the
lowest porters about the place, not that they admired
prize fighting, but they felt the highest respect for a man
who had shown so much courage and endurance. He
hoped there would be no more fighting ; but if the Fates
should ordain otherwise, every one amongst them would
be ready to express a conviction that no foreigner would
ever be able to take the belt from the gallant fellow beside
him. (Tremendous cheers.) Mr. Lang then pt esented
Sayers with a blue purse studded with white beads, con-
taining 100 sovereigns. Sayers thanked the company for
the purse, and hoped he would do good with it ; but as he
was no spokesman they must dispense with a speech. He
then went back to the coffee-room, where he was again
loudly cheered, and at length drove off in a cab amidst
thunders of applause from the outsiders.
