LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—(This day).
COURT „OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
APPEAL-JUDGMENT.-SIMPSON V. THE WESTMINSTER

PALACE HOTEL compaNr.

This was a renewal of a motion for an injunction to re-
strain the company from granting a lease to the Right Hon.
Sir Charles Wood, for the occupation of the India Board,
of any portion of the hotel now in course of erection, and
froni expending any portion of the funds of the company
for that purpose. This motion was brought by way of
appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood, by which
his Honour refused the motion for an injunction, and dis-
missed the bill with costs.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce said that, considering the
whole of the circumstances, he thought the directors had
taken a right course, and that the decree of Vice-Chancellor
Wood must be affirmed.

Lord Justice Turner said he was not clear, from the
statements which had been laid before him, that the build-
ing would not be ready to be opened as an hotel before the
expiration of the time for which it was proposed to let it
for the Indian business, and he was of opinion that the
decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood ought not to be affirmed.
In consequence of this difference of opinion between the
Lords Justices the case will be carried before the Lord
Chancellor.

It was decreed that there should not be costs on either
side.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A MILITARY RUFFIAN.—THREATENING A COM-
PLAINANT BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE.—James Jackson,
a privato of the Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was
charged before Mr. Beadon with committing an aggravated
assault on a man named John Sullivan.

The complainant, whose head was bandaged, said the
previous night, about three-quarters past eleven, he saw the
soldier crossing the Regent's-circus, and seeing there was a
cab coming he said to the soldier, " There's a cab coming,
you'll be run over," when he turned round and struck him
a most violent blow on the head, felling him to the ground,
cutting his head open, and breaking the stick in pieces.
Sergeant Glass said the prisoner was given in charge by
a gentleman who promised to attend, but was not present.
The gentleman said the blow was a deliberate and brutal
one. The prisoner, he wished to state, was quite sober,
although he appeared now as if he had been drinking, but
that arose from a fit he had in the cell.

The sergeant of the prisoner's battalion said he was a
" regular" soldier.

Mr. Beadon said he did not exactly understand what
that meant. Was his conduct good.
The sergeant said it was, as a soldier.

The prisoner said he was made game of by some persons.

Mr. Beadon said nothing would justify such a blow, and
if the gentleman had been present he would have imposed
the full fine. He should fine him 40s. or a month.
The prisoner here exclaimed to the complainant, "I'll
give you another one."
Mr. Beadon—This is a " regular " soldier,' is it? I
shall, for daring to threaten the complainant in my pre-
sence, order you to find bail at the and of the month for
three months.
