LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before tie Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL-JUDGMENT.-HALL V. COCKEREL.

This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the
Rolls declaring certain Leeds of mortgage not binding on
the plaintiff, and directins the same to be delivered up to be
cancelled.

It appeared that the phintiff was entitled by the will of
his father to an income of certain real and personal estates
of great value. Messrs. Henry and Chestyn. Hall, formerly
of Boswell-court, had been for many years the confidential
agent of the plaintiff's fatter and brother, and of the plain-
tiff, and until -the year 1E65 plaintiff appeared to have had
great confidence in their skill and integrity. In the year
1853 the Messrs. Hall acted as solicitors of the defendants,
the trustees under the marriage settlement of John Wallis
Grieve and the Hon. Eli2a Bowles, and in the month of
February that year they received from the defendant the
sum of £15,000 belonging to him as trastee of the said
settlement for the purpcse of investment. £lO,OOO was
property invested on mortgage security, and the rernainding
£5,000, as the plaintiff alleged, without his knowledge air
consent, was invested by the'Messrs Hall in two sums of
£4,000 and £l,OOO on the security of the plaintiff's interest
under the will of his father and brother, and of certain
policies of insurance belonging to him. The indenture by
which this sum is expressed to be secured bears date respec-
tively the Ist of March and the Ist of August, 1855, and in
the month of September, 1851, they were handed over by
the Messrs. Hall ,to Mr. Livingstone, who was then acting
as solicitor for the defendant.

The bill alleged that no part of the sums of £4,000 and
£l,OOO was ever paid or received by the plaintiff or applied
to his use, nor did he authorise the Messrs. Hall to raise
that sum for him, nor was he aware that they had raised
the money, but that the whole transaction was a fraud
committed on the plaintiff. The Messrs. Hall, for the pur-
pose of concealing the misappropriation by themselves of
the money belonging to the defendant, the plaintiff stated,
that he executed the deeds without reading them over,
and on the representation of Chestyn Hall, that the effect
would be to employ him as receiver of the rents and in-
come of the real and personal estates, and to pay him out
of such rents and profits a larger monthly sum than there-
tofore, which was in fact afterwards done.
The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, was of
opinion that the plaintiff was perfectly cognisant of the
terms of the mortgage deed in question, and acquiesced in
the conditions on which it was granted, and it was new
too late to object to it.

His lordship reversed the decision of the Master of the
Rolls, and dismissed the plaintiff's bills, with costs.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
JUDGMENT.-HUGHES V. JONES.

This suit came before the Court on a reference to cham-
bers for the chief clerk to enquire whether a good title could
be given to a plot of land at Maden in Wales, consisting of
4 acres and 14 perches, sold by public auction, under a
lease for life in a bill for specific performance of the contract.
The defendant pleaded that he purchased the lands in
ignorance of the lease.

The plaintiff alleged that the lease was exprestly men-
tioned in the articles of sale, which were publicly exhibited
and read over at the meeting before the sale.
His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, on considering the
evidence of the witnesses on both sides, which was extremely
conflicting, came to the conclusion that the defendant was
informed that the plot of land purchased by him was under
a lease for life as a limestone quarry at a yearly rent of
a 13s. 6d., and, with that exception, a good title was
shown to the land.

His Honour decreed accordingly, and made the costs of
:he defendant costs in the cause.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF THE POST- OFFICE AUTHO-

RITIES.

A case came before the court this morning in which the
Summons was marked " not served."

Plaintiff's agent said that defendant was a clerk employed
in the General Post-office, and his Honour was well aware
of the great difficulty existing in sluing the clerks.
His Honour—Great difficulty ?

Plaintiff's agent—Yes. I am informed that the autho-
rities throw every obstacle in the way.
His Honour—Am I to understand that the authorities of
the Post-office throw obstacles in the way of a just recovery
of debts? Whose district is this ?

Mr. Coleman (one of the bailiffs)—Mine. It is quite
true. They will not call the clerks down ; and a short time
since they threatened to give me in charge.
His Honour—Give you in charge for performing your
duty in accordance with the provisions of an Act of Parlia-
ment. This ought to be mentioned in the newspapers
What did they do ?
Mr. Coleman—They sent for a policeman, and he refused
to remove me, as I was employed in serving summonses.
His Honour would grant a gratis summons and would
go in if necessary for ten years. Perhaps if the summons
was served upon the Postmaster-General, by post, it might
have some effect.

It was then explained that these summonses must be
personally served.

His Honour—Then we must employ a bailiff especially
to wait and catch them as they go in and come out.
Mr. Coleman—There are so many doors—(laughter)—
and they tell one another.
His Honour—Yes, the General Post-office is like
rabbit warren, and while you are waiting at one door they
get out by another.
Gratis swmmons granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( TIIIS DAL)

MARLBOROUCrII-STREET.

CHARGE OF STEALING THE HALE OF A £5 NOTE.—ME
SENDER WANTED.—Alexander Poppy, errand boy, in the
employ of Mr. Davies, draper, 340, Oxford-street, was
charged with stealing the half of a £5 note under the fol-
lowing circumstances :

Mr. Davies said the prisoner had been in his employ as
errand boy, and he understood from the postman that two
letters were given to him while outside doing something to
the windows, and they had never reached him. The post-
man was not bore to-day, but would attend.

Sergeant Glass, C Division, said he understood the pri-
soner had tendered the half of a £5 note in payment of
handkerchiefs, and it was then stopped. The prisoner said
he picked up the letter on the door-mat, it having been
trod on, and broke it open, and found that it had the word
" Five "on it. The constable afterwards traced it to Mr.
Davies.

Mr. Davies said he had not yet ascertained from whom
the half note came, and while the prisoner was in his
employ several things have been missed from his premises.
The half note was yproduced. It is numbered 90,484, and
bears endorsements, " J. Jones, draper," and "G. Ed-
wards."

The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of the
postman, and the person at whose shop he tendered the
half note.

FATHER AND SON.—Mortimer Cahn, 19, was charged
with threatening and annoying his father, Mr. Edward
Cahn, of 24, Lieceater-square.
Mr. Cahn said owing to the conduct of his son he was
obliged to turn him out of his house, and all he wished was
that he would not come to his house. He was a burthen to
them all, and threatened to smash the windows and every-
thing in the house (the complainant was unable to go on
from emotion).

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he understood the father had taken the
son into his house on. his return from California.
The Defendant, in an impudent tone.—You seem to know
all about it.

Mr, Tyrwhitt.--You are an affliction and an ungrateful
hound to a father who has done so much for you.
The Defendant.—Who do you call a hound ?
Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the defendant).—You, sir. You will
hear the truth here. (To the father). Your weakness is
a misfortune. If you go on in this way he will manage
you. Why take him in at all ? A fellow of his description
will never be done may good with except by sharp means.
We have plenty cases of the kind here.
Ordered to find one surety in the sum of £2O for two
months.
