His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg-
ment, said—ln this case of Hawksworth v. Hawksworth,
I have looked into th e words of the will, and the expressions
used by the testator, rid reconsidered the pleadings, and
I retain the opinion wl 'xich I expressed yesterday, viz., that
the whole of the proper ty, real and personal, undoubtedly
falls under this residual", clause. lam of opinion that the
legacy in favour of the testator's daughter, Emma Green
Hawksworth, vested in h er on the death of her father and
mother ; and the bequest i, la favour of his wife took effect
on his death, and both we re to be paid by the residuary
legatees out of his residuary estate.
Mr. Bagshaw, Q.C., said that the residuary legatees had
already paid a sum of money into coutt sufficient to answer
the special legacies in the w:11.

Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., ast-.ed for a special declaration on the
minutes.

His Honour said he did not think it necessary to make
any specific declaration, brit only express the declarations
in the will.

It was ultimately arrang ed that the declarations men-
tioned in his lordship's jud!vment, to save expense, would
be inserted iu the minutes, and that it would net be neces-
sary to go into Chambers to arrange it.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE NEW JE‘ WISH OATH.
A rather singular occurreno a took place this morning.
Mr. F. H. Goldsmid, Q.C.. of the Chancery bar, Mr. A.
Henriques, and Mr. Jacob Willey, attended the Court for
the purpose of taking the usual o aths of allegiance, abjura-
tion, and supremacy, and signing the roll.
The oath of allegiance was duly admininistered and
signed.
Mr. Robinson, the Chief Usher., proceeded to administer
the oath of abjuration, commencing with" I, Francis Henry
Goldsmid, on the true faith of a Gthristian.")
Mr. Goldsmid stopped the usher r, and reminded him that
he was a Jew, and the oath he wl is to take was preseribed
by the Oaths Bill of last session. .
Mr. Robinson, on looking at the oath, was compelled to
postpone the administration of tk e oath of abjuration, he
not being prepared with the engrosstment of it.

THE MANCHESTER AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY V. THE
LONDON AND NORTH-VrESTERN COMPANY.
The Attorney-General said the Court would allow him to
mention the above case, which sti )Od for argument in the
paper. It was a case of great ma gnitude.
Lord Campbell—Certainly it is a case of great magni-
tude, looking at the extent of the: papers. (Latghter.)
The Attorney-General—Yes, ray lord, they are contained
in 91 closely printed pages, and 3f have only just received
the first copy ; :it was quite iimpossible that I can be
prepared to argue the case. T'he case was an issue to be
tried, by order of the Master of the Rolls, at Liverpool, and
then referred to Mr. Stuart orth as
for
Y'

afterwards turned into a specialcase
court, and the arbitrator had only within the last two or
three days signed the case.
• Lord Campbell—Do you wish the case to be postponed
until next term ?
The Attorney-General—l should like to hive done so
but my friend Mr. Bovil objects. The case rill, I think;
occupy two days.
Mr. Justice Erle—How long was the case before the
Master of the Rolls.
The Attorney-General—Twelve months, rnr lord.
Mr. Bovill said it was of great importaueetbst the case
should be taken as early as possible, as it affected the station
at Manchester, and the question of which line of railway
the public should go. Thousands of pounds Irere involved
in the question.
After some further conversation, it was oranged that
the case should stand first in the special paper for next
16 term.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY OF CHILDREN.--Allll Eaton, a
decently dressed woman, was charged before Mr. Beadon
with stealing a shawl from a little child named George
Grey. There was a second charge agains; the prisoner,
but only one was taken.
The mother said that, on the previous evening, she sent
her little boy on an errand in tho street in which
she lived, Crown-street, St. Giles's, and not finding him
return, she at length went after him, whox she was told
that he had had his shawl taken away from him by a
female.

James Ellis, of Brownlow-street, said he was unpacking
some goods at the back of Crosse and Blackwell's, in Sut-
ton-street, when he hsard a child scream, alld the prisoner
running, and the child running after her. He at once
threw down some things he had in his hand and pursued
her into Oxford-street, and after dodging round an omni-
bus, she dropped a shawl. He held her till a constable
came, when he gave her over, and the shawl was given to
the child.

Mr. Beadon put several questions to the child (an intel-
ligent little fellow, about seven years of age) and he answered
them in a most satisfactory manner, at the conclusion of
which Mr. Beadon said he would have him sworn.

George Grey (the child) then said that the prisoner came
up to him and said if he would come with her she would
give him some pudding. He told her they did not sell
pudding in the street, and she then took him into a dirty
corner and said she would pin his she ml for him, and she
then took it off and ran off with it.

The prisoner at first denied all knowledge of it, but after-
wards said she was guilty.

Mr. Beadon—Yes, and of the most abominable thing
possible. I shall sentence you to six months' imprisonment
with hard labour.

It is believd the prisoner is one of L numerous class of
children robbers atpresent carrying on their practices among
the children of working men.

THAMES.

DASTARDLY RODDERY.—Thomas Hoonan, a labourer,
aged 42, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing
five wrenching irons and a mallet, the property of Thomas
Barton, a shipwright. The two men were in the employ
of Young, Son, and Magnay, the eminent shipbuilders of
Limehouse. On Thursday morning last the prosecutor
deposited his tools in a box in the yard. On the following
morning he missed five wrenching irons and a mallet,
tools indisponsibly necessary to enable him to proceed
with his work. The prisoner, who is a drunken,
reckless, dirty fellow, was suspected, and taxed
with the robbery, on which he assumed to
be very indignant, and denied that he had
stolen the tools. Yesterday afternoon the prosecutor
found his tools at the shop of Mr. William Croucher,
a dealer, of No. 109, High-street, Shtuivrell, who said he
had purchased them on Friday. Creucher accompanied
the prosecutor to Young, Son, and Magnay's yard, and
immediately pointed out the prisoner as the individual of
whom he bought the tools. The prisoner, who vehemently
denied he was the thief, was given into custody.
Barton identified his tools, and said the prisoner had ac-
cess to his box.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and added, " Settle it here
as soon as you can."

Mr. Self° said the prisoner had committed a most dos -
to.rdly robbery in stealing the tools of a fellow-workman
and he aggravated his offence by his continual denial of his
dishonest act. He sentenced the prisoner to two months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—No business of importance has been transacted

packages of China were offered, of which about 3,677 were
sold, at ful!y previous prices. Common congou is quoted
lld per lb.
SUGAR.—The market continues very inactive, and prices
are without the slightest alteration. In the refined market
rather more business has been done for home consumption,
and previous rates have been fully supported.
COFFEE.—The market continues very quiet, and notwith-
standing the short supplies, owing to the continuance of the
easterly winds, prices have shown little improvement.
RICE.—No change of importance can be reported in this
article. A few contracts for exportation have been entered
into, but there is little activity exhibited.
RUM—The demand still continues very inactive, and
the few transactions entered into have been at former quo-
tations.

FRUIT.—The finer qualities of new currants still continue
in great demand, at full rates; but inferior descriptions are
neglected. Valencia raisins, figs, and almonds are in good
demand, and the finer descriptions of figs are scarce.
SALTPETRE.—A moderate business has been done, and
prices have been fully supported.
TALLow.—The market is very steady, and prices have
an upward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 51s;
all the year, 50s 9d ; and spring delivery, Ols to 518 3d per
ewt.

The Belgian journals record the marriage of four
brothers to four sisters, celebrated at the same time, at
Mons.
A letter from Paris says :—" This was always a
great place for extravagant dinners. The other day Prince
Napoleon treated an assembly of connoisseurs to Chinese
dishes, such as birds' nest soup, &c. The day before Yester-
day a still more eccentric banquet took place at the Trois
Freres, at which the novel feature of rats'-tail soup was it-
troduced. My informant, one of the guests, a man wholly
devoid of prejudice, assures me that it does not come up to
ox-tail by any means. There was also a chicken killed and
dressed after the Horatian Fecel)`—
‘ Doetus eris vivam miste mersare Falerno '
Hoc teneram
ani a dish of fricassed gyntizoti, cr electric eels,
only to be
found in the muddy waters of the Nile."
