LAW INT.ELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
JUDGMENT.-ADA3ISON V. THI TRUSTEES OF THE

BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.

The Lord Chancellor said the question in this case is
whether the Birkenhead Dcck A(t of 1855 deprives Mr.
Adamson of the right to get payment of the debt due to
him by the trustees ; that there should be a deduction from
his debt without any equivalent ; that he should receive no
more than 13s. in the pound in place of 20s. in the pound
—the Act of Parliament could not have committed such
injustice. His Lordship considered that Mr. Adamson had
a lien on the land purchased from hint by the dock trustees,
end that he was entitled to full payment of the price. The
4,5, and 17 sections of the Act provides for the full pay-
ment of the price of land purchased by the trustees, and it
never was intended to deprive him (the ;vendor) of one-
third of the price of his land. There was no agreement
entered into by him with the trustees to make any deduc-
tion whatever from the price of his land. He dismissed
the appeal with costs.

(13tfore Vice-Chancelba Wood.)
JUDGMENT-HODSON Y. WEEKES.

The plaintiff filed his bill to set aside an agreement, dated
25th March, 1851, for a lease of a mine by the incumbent
during his incumbency, on the ground that the patron and
ordinary had not consented to the agreement, and for in-
junction to restrain the defendant from working the mines.
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor declared the agreement
unlawful, and directed an account to be taken of the work-
ings of the mine, and ordered the money in court to be ap-
plied in the improvement of the vicarages and payment of
costs of suits—the agreement to be delivered up to the
plaintiff to be cancelled, reserving further consideration of
the cause, with liberty to apply.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Hill and
Blackburn.)
EXPARTE LIEUT. ALLEN.

Mr. Sergeant Shee having obtained a writ of habeas in
this case, the Solicitor-General and Mr. Welsby this morn-
ing showed cause against it.

It appeared from the statements of the learned counsel
that Lieut. Allen had been sentenced to four years' impri-
sonment by a court-martial at Agra, and that place was fixed
upon as the place of his imprisonment. The Mutiny Act
and Articles of War, however, required that the court-
martial or the officer commanding in the district, should
specify the place of imprisonment. On the 24th Nov. he was
removed to Cawnpore, thence to Calcutta, and subsequently
to England, where he was confined in the Penitentiary at
Milbank. It was contended that no competext authority
had sanctioned his removal, and that he was illegally con-
fined in custody and entitled to be discharged, the officer of
the district having fixed upon Agra as the place in which
he should be imprisoned. On the other side it was urged
that the sentence being four years imprisonment it was a
matter of no moment in which of her Majesties gaols he
was confined.

The Lord Chief Justice said little as the court would desire
to relieve this gentleman from the punishment to which he
had been most properly sentenced, unless it was shown that
the prisoner had been removed under the order of the proper
officer as required by the 41st section of the act, via., the officer
commanding the district garrison or colony, they would be
bound by law to discharge him. On this state of the facts,
the Court doubted not that Lieutenant Allen was illegally
in prison, and must be discharged. The Court was clearly
of opinion that this imprisonment could not be legally
maintained. lf, therefore, the learned Solicitor-General
could show to-morrow that any proper authority for re-
moval of Lieutenant Allen had been given, this decision
would not be considered final.

The Solicitor-General said he had no reason to believe
that he could produce any such authority. He would,
however, make the necessary inquiry.

THE ROAD MURDER.

Na application respecting the reopening of the coroner's
inquest had been made up to the time of going to press.

POLICE INTELLrGENcE—(TRIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

ANNOYING A COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPER.—Mr. James
Wilson, 4, Groat Ryder-street, gentleman, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following singular behaviour :
Mr. John Saul, builder, St. James's-street, Haymarket,
and also a coffee-houso keeper in Castle- street, Leicester-
square, said that defendant came into his house on the pre-
vious evening, and having asked his barmaid for two cups
of tea, began pulling her about in a very indelicate manner.
She called to him for assistance, and he put him out, and
while doing so he attempted to strike him, but he warded
off the blow.

Phcobe Sutch, barmaid to the complainant, said that,
having served the defendant with two cups of tea, he began
taking liberties with her. She called her master, and he
put the defendant out. She saw him attempt to strike her
master.

A cabman here stepped forward and said he wanted Os.
of the defendant. Ile had engaged him at half-past nine,
in St. James's-square, telling him to drive him to the
Cafe Chartant, Leicester-square, which he did, and then
to Castle-street. Finding that he was likely to keep him
some time, he told him he had better take him by time,
and he did so, keeping him till nearly one o'clock. The
defendant told him to go into the coffee-house and ask for
a Miss Burns, and he did so four or five times, tho defen-
dant sitting in the cab, but at last going into the house
himself. The defendant kept him the whole time occupied.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the defendant whether he was willing
to pay the cabman, and he said he was, and did so, at once
kanding the money to Welsh, the gaoler (,f the court.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—With regard to the other charge, it is
clear you went to the complainant's house seduced by the
charms of Miss Burns. You will have to make some com-
pensation to the complainant for the assault; and I must
bind you over to keep the peace towards him for six
months, for I shall not let it pass off so easily as you
think.

23, 18'60:

THE SIEGE OF GAETA.

French papers have published, the following
letter from Gaeta :—" On the ni,ght of the 10th
the Piedmontese began to give of life. They
threw 50 or 60 bombshells into the Neapolitan
camp atthe gates of Gaeta. The soldiers have made
a mound of Piedmontese shells, which produced
little or no effect. They merely -wounded three or
four rneu. While the firing wan taking place the
Piedmontese advanced on the road from Mola to
Gaeta as far as the Devil's Tower. Siege
guns and ammunition have been landed from the
Sardinian ships for several days past. A battle
took place yesterday morning on the hill of the
Capucines, between our'riflemen and the Piedmon-
tese Bersaglieri, which lasted all day. I was look-
ing at it from the top of the fo'.-tifications. Five
or six hundred riflemen, NO-10 were relieved
according as they were fad.igued, held firm
against several battalions c.f. Piedmontese, It
was really
,an interesting sight. Several French
naval officers expressed their admiration of
the steadiness with which. The Neapolitans fought.
They advanced shoulder to shoulder and at one
time I saw the Piedmontese retreat. In the mean
time, the Piedmontese might have been outflanked
by other troops who Were unemployed. No as-
sistance, nevertheless, vas given to the riflemen,
except that a few g•cenades were thrown from
the batteries of Gaeta, which fell among the
Piedmontese and caused them some loss. We could
distinctly see the Bersaglieri fall under the fire of
the Neapolitans, who
.on their part did not lose
many men. Towards :evening the Piedmontese,
who were not less than 3,000 or 4,000 strong—
that is, seven to one,--gained ground. The Nea-
politans retreated slowly under the batteries of the
town, and during the night all the troops were
brought in from the camp. The Piedmontese left
from 20 to 30 prisoners in the hands of the riflemen.
Will you believe that the officers had abandoned the
camp before the troops were called in ? It is really
a pity that the soldiers, who are so willing to
fight, should always be so badly commanded. It
is said tha tIGO or 180 soldiers of the foreign legion
who remained too late in the direction of Terracino
were taken prisoners. Yesterday was remarkable
for acts of cowardice and treachery. First, Colonel
IPianelli, brother of the ex-Mipister of War, led
the 15th battalion of Chasseurs into an ambus-
cade, and commanded them to lay down their
arms in presence of the Piedmontese. The second
case was that of Lieutenant-Colonel Nunziante, who
suffered the Bth Chasseurs to fight without an offi-
cer to command them and returned to Gaeta. Gen.
Bertolini, the chief of Marshal Salzano's staff, sent
to visit the advanced posts, and who returned
to say there was nothing new, without having
left the town, was cashiered and expelled. The
King had been informed by another officer that the
troops composing the Neapolitan and Piedmon-
tese advanced posts were amusing themselves
together. In truth it was nothing new. Generals
Salzano, Barbalonga, Collonna, and Polizzi have
resigned. Colonma had the audacity to write that if
his resignation were not accepted he would pass
over to the enemy with the troops under his
command. These generals quit Gaeta to-day.
I think that the above facts will sufficiently
describe our situation. General Cialdina has at
length consented to accept Garibaldian prisoners in
exchange for Neapolitans. 1,200 Garibaldians
were exchanged yesterday. They were sent from
the Castle to Mola, where an equal number of
Neapolitans were collected.
