COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice .Chancellor Sir John Stuart.)
JENNER V. JENNER-JUDGMENT.

His Honour said—ln this case the plaintiff seeks to set
aside, or rather asks to renovate a resettlement of a family
estate, which gives him an estate for life instead of an
estate tails. The father and son agreed to disentail the
estate and mortgage it for £lO,OOO to the use of the father,
to increase the jointure of his wife from £l,OOO to £1,500,
and make provision for his younger children. The plain-
tiff (the eldest son) alleged that he misunderstood the terms
of this agreement, and asked for a reconveyance of the
estate to him in tail. His Honour, on considering the evi-
dence produced, and the authorities referred to, came to the
conclusion that the plaintiff sufficiently understood that his
interest in the estate tail was to be reduced to an estate for
life, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Keating and a

Common Jury.)
FLEWERS V. WOOD AND ANOTHER.

Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Pearce were for the
p!aintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. T. Atkinson for
the defendants.

This action was brought to recover damages against the
contractors for making a sewer at Hackney, by the plaintiff,
a boy of 15, who had fallen into it while in the course of
construction. Mr. Sergeant Parry, at the commencement
of the case, said that the defendants would give the plain-
tiff no technical difficulty, as they wishes merely to try the
question of liability on its merits. On the 12th October,
1878, the plaintiff, who lives with his parents at Stoke
Newington, was sent for a loaf of bread betwen. 7 and 8
o'clock in the e ening. At the corner of Wellington-street
and Hindle-street the defendants' sower was open, and the
p'alntiff, in crossing, fell into it. His thigh was broken,
and he was for some months in Bartholomew's Hospital.
The result has been that the boy's hip-joint has become
permanently stiff, and that ho is lame for life, one leg being
shorter than the other. For the plaintiff it was proved that
the sewer was not protected at all, by either rails, lights, or
watchers, and that even the earth thrown out had been in a
great measure removed.' The defence was that the de-
fendents had been guilty of no negligence, and that the boy
had contributed by his own carelessness, in running along
the embankment, to the accident. The evidence was, as is
usual in similar casco, extremely contradictory, and the
statement that the sewer was unprotected was denied by
several witnesses.

The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff—damages £BO.

POLICE INTELLIG .8117 CE-( THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAGE ASSAULT.—James Hayes, 1, Little White Lion-
street, a shoemaker, was brought before Mr. Beadon
charged with the following savage assault •
Mr. Haycroft, a general dealer, residing in Clement's-
lane, said the prisoner, who had been drinking, came up to
him at the corner of Broad-street, knocked him down with-
out the slightest provocation, and while on the ground. fixed
his teeth in his cheek, and " regularly gnawed it." He
had never seen the prisoner before, and was wholly at a loss
to account for the prisoner's act of cannibalism. [The pro-
secutor's cheek bore a frightful wound.]
James Church, a young man residing at 15, Searle-street,
Marylebone, said, while passing the end. of Broad-street he
saw the prisoner, who wanted to fight some one, pitch on
the prosecutor, and they both went down together, and on
their getting up the prosecutor's cheek was covered with
blood, as was also the prisoner's mouth.
12 Prisoner said he had no recollection of it.

Mr. Beadon said it was perfectly extraordinary. Since
last year upwards of 40 case's of biting had come before
him. He would punish all cases of the kind as severely as
he could, and he wished he could inflict hard labour. He
should fine him £5, or two months' imprisonment.

PAROCHIAL REFORM-HAMLET OF .RATCLIFF

A meeting of ratepayers of this hamlet was held this
morning at nine o'clock, at the Mercers' Arms, Tattoo-
street, Stepney, to adopt measures to secure the return of
Messrs. Creer, Mayo, Pfeil, Peacock, Sherren,' Stuart,
Simpson, Geo. Richardson, and liralton,-the candidates re-
commended by the Parochial Reform Association, which
since its establishment has caused a reduction in the poor-
rates of this once misgoverned hamlet from Is. 4d. to Ild.
in the pound, have brought to light delinquencies in a clerk
to a local board, thrown openthe Limohouse Boar.] of
Works, of which Ratcliff forms a part, and have produced
a more equal rating of the large water side properties of the
brewers, coal merchants, and manufacturers in the hamlet,
whose assessment has been increasedfrom £lOO to £1,300 per
annum thereby greatly relieving the small householders and
shopkeepers, who were most unfairly aesesaed by the self-
nominated Board of Trustees who yearly nominate their
successors.

Mr. GEORGE BLYTON, of the firm of Goldsmith and
Blyton, a vestryman, presided, and said the election for
nine vestrymen took place on Tuesday morning last, and
that the candidates selected by the association ware pledged
to economy and reform, and to the extinction of abuses.
The old Tory party had sent out a list which contained,
among other names, that of Henry Rollinson, who was
already a member of the Board of Trustees and a member
of the Board of Guardians, and whose houses let for 9s. per
week, are ratedat'the low figure of £lO 12s. sd. per house
per annum; and who, when chairman of one of the local
boards, permitted an officer of that board, who had em-
bezzled the parish money, to resign his office and declined
to prosecute him. Another name on the Tory list was that
of Mr. Nathan, who had recently come into the parish of
Ratcliff, and who was a vestryman of Liniehouse,
trustee of Limehouse, a member of the Board of Works
for the Limehouse district, and a guardian of the poor for
Limehouse. The parish of Limehouse and the hamlet of
Ratcliff were antagonistic to each other. The Metropolitan
Board of Works had reapportioned the debt due on the
rock loan, and had increased the apportionment of Ratcliff
from £989 13s. 2d. to £3,126 12s. Bd. (Shame, shame.)
The Limehouse portion of the debt was not increase'—
(hear, hear); and Mr. Nathan, as' member for Limehouse
on the District Board of Works, had refused to assist the
Ratcliff members in their efforts to prevent the enormous
increase of the debt due upon the rock loan, and borrowed
of the old Commissioners of Sewers for making sewers in
the metropolis. The parishioners of Ratcliff ought to pre-
vent parochial bigamy, and reject Mr. Rollinson and Mr.
Nathan, more particularly the latter, who was identified
with the parish of Limehouse for many years, and opposed
to the interests of Ratcliff.

Mr. Hood, Mr. Warren, Mr. N. Bly ton, overseers, Mr.
Devovan, churchwarden, Mr. Creer, and others addressed
the meeting and said, the old and corrupt Tory patty were
signally defeated at the election of vestrymen three years ago,
and if they were allowed to revive the rates would again
increase, and jobbery and corruption again attain the as-
cendancy. Resolutions pledging the meeting to support
the nomination of Messrs. Creer, Mayo, T‘ ichardson (a rate
payer for 40 years in the hamlet), Simpson, Sharren,
Stuart, Peacock, P. Fest, and Walton were unanimously
agreed to. The last named gentleman, who is chairman of
the Hamlet of Ratcliff Parochial Reform Association, be-
longs to the firm of Walton and Gowland, Ratcliff-court,
shipowners and coal merchants; who have endeared them
selves to all classes of rate payers by their philanthropic
exertions in favour of the labouring classes, and particularly
in ameliorating the condition of the coal whippers.
