LAW INTELLIGENCE.--'This Day.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Bong, Sir J. Romilly.)
BIBLEY V. BIBLET.-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the faster of the Rolls, in delivering
judgment, said the question in th;s case ultimately to
be determined is, who are the persons beneficially in-
terested under the appointments made in virtue of the
powers contained in the settlement made by John Birley
and Margaret his wife, in. June, 1800. His Honour was
of opinion that the powers of appointment were of
a fiduciary character only, and *that the donees of the
power could not appoint absolutely.- Margaret survived
her husbznd, and by deed of settlement executed in
1847, and subsequent deeds devnied the residue of the
property to William Birley and others proportionally
and absolutely. It was objected that they were not the
objects of the plower, but the settlement of 1849, and
the powers of appointment therein contained are described
in the deed of sale of Nov. 4, 1i55, and confirmed by the
deed of 1857, which shows that be is the person bene-
ficially entitled to the residue of the property. Costs to
be taken out of the trust funds.

Cases referred to—Tucker v. Saunders, 2 AlgLa!•
land and Hare, p. 5S ; Opinion of Chief Baron Alex-
ander, 2 vole,. Devine and Charles ; Lord St. Leonardo
on Po were of Appointment ; Tucker v. Saunders, 7 vols.
Young and Jarvis ; RuCtdge and Davis ; Greavee
Wilson. To be mestioned as to costs.
His Honour said that, having scrutinised this case,
he was of opinion that the plaintiff should have the costs
of the suit.

SECONDARIES COURT.
(Before Mr. Secondary Putter.)
lIRESCII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—TUCKER V.

CIIIGNEL.

Mr. Salter, for the plaintiff, said that this was an un-
defended action brought by the plaintiff, a respectable
young lady of Wandsworth, against the defendant, the
only son of the keeper of a large hotel at Southend.
Plaintiff and defendant met at a party at Southend, and
the defendant paid the young lady such attention that
she gave him permission to write and visit her, of course,
with the consent of her parents_ Matters progressed ro
favourably that in September last the banns were pub-
lished, and every preparation made for the consumma-
tion if the desired end. The 21st of September was
named as the wedding day, bnt, at defendant's cl‘sire,
the affair was put off for a week. At the expiration of
that time, however, defendant not making his appear-
ance, plaintiff's mother went to Southend, and saw de-
fendant's mother, who said she knew her ion was find
of plaintiff, but of course it was his own business. Plain-
tiff had been very ill ever since. Defendant was only son
of the keeper of a large hotel at Southend, and the
damages was laid at 1,0001. No reason whatever bad
been assigned by defendant even to the present time, and
all the expostulations made by plaintiff and her friends
were met by excuses.

W. Tucker said—He was a master painter at
Clapham, and his daughter Jassy, the plaintiff,
was his youngest child, By witness' permission
defendant paid his addresses to Miss Tucker, and she
went down to the hotel at Southend and remained there
fer a short time. Def-•ndant had ne►er assigned any
reason for breaking off the match. Plaintiff's mother
pro►ed going down to Southend to expo,tulate with de-
fendant. Defendant's mother paid they were very com-
fortably off, and the couple might have been very happy
together.

The learned Secondary aaid it was for the jury to say
what the damages should be, always bearing in mind that
there was ❑o doubt evidence as to defendant's paeans.
The jury having consulted far a short time fOund a ver-
dict for plaintiff, damages 50/.
