LAW INTELLIGENCE(THIS DAY.)

COURT CF CHANCERY.
(Bofore the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL.-WRIITINGTON V. EDWARDS.

At the conclusiox of tie arguments of counsel in this
•ause, the Lord Chancello: dismissed the appeal, with costs.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
TRYSON AND OTHERS V. WESTROP AND OTHERS.

The examination of *lncases in this case, which has
already been before the Court for two days, was resumed
this morning. It is a testamentary suit with respect to the
last will and codicils, dated respectively the 17th of Jan.,
the 23d of May, and the 24th of August, 1857, of Mr. Eyre
Coate, of Cambridgeshire, deceased. The plaintiffs in the
case were the executors named in the will, and the defen-
dant, Mr. Westrop, opposed the grant of probate of the
codicil dated the 24th of August, on the ground that at the
time of its execution Mr. Coate was not of perfect testa-
mentary capacity, and that he had been induced to sign
it by the undue influence of other parties. Mrs. Cut-
ting, who was deceased's heiress-at-law, and her son,
opposed the grant of probate of the will and both
the codicils. The testator was a superior farmer,

living on and farming his own land, at Fordham in
Suffolk. At the time of his death he was 46 years
of age, a bachelor, and possessed of personal 'property
valued at about £12,000, and real estate amounting to
£l,lOO per annum. It appeared that Mr. Eyre Coate was
addicted to habits of intemperance until within a short time
of his decease. Mr. Westrop was a very intimate friend
and near neighbour, who associated much with the testator,
and accompanied him in his excursions to the coast. An-
other intimate friend named in the will was Mr. Hurstwick,
who was a solicitor in practice at Fordham, and who had
managed Mr. Coate's affairs for nearly ten years. Deceased
was of perfect testamentary capacity at the time he signed
his will and the two codicils before the Court, and his rea-
son for making the last codicil was, that during his last at-
tack of illness Mr. IVestrop had, done several things to
displease him instead of endeavouring.to make him comfort-
able. Mr. Eyre Coate had for some time before his death
been afflicted with a pulmonary complaint, which ended in
consumption. He died on August 25, 1837, at Lowestoft,
where he resided for his health.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, dm:ng the
week have amounted to 1,570 quarters. Fresh up this
morning the receipts were very.moderate, and the show of
samples was consequently somewhat limited. Good and
fine qualities were in fair request at full. prices, but other
kinds moved off slowly at late rates.
We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat,
in which very little business was transacted at Monday's
currency.

There was a fair enquiry for malting, barley—the supply
of which was limited—at high quotations.
Grinding and distilling sorts were dull, but not cheaper.
Malt changed hands to a fair extent on former terms.
Oats were steady at late quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour quite as dear as on Monday.

BELIEF FOR THE HOMEWARD BOUND

Application to the Admiralty for the despatch o.
one or more men-of-war to the Chops of the Chan.
nel for the relief of the mercantile Marine in want
of assistance has been promptly granted :

" Admiralty, Nov. 18.
" Sir,---In reply to your letter of the 17th inst.,
requesting that, in consequence of the long preva-
lence of easterly winds, a man-of-war-may be de-
spatched for the relief of the homeward-bound
trade, I am commanded by my Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty to state, for the infor-
mation of the Committee for Managing the Affairs
of Lloyd's, that yesterday two steam sloops were
ordered to be held ready for sea; and that they
were this morning directed, by telegraph, to proceed
at once for the relief of the homeward-bound
vessels.

" I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
"W. G. ROMAINE.
" Captain Halstead,' Secretary to Lloyd's."

LAHORE, SEPT. 28.

By the last mail you will have heard that there
had been more bloodshed in the Punjaub. The
disarmed sepoys broke out at Mooltan, because
they could not stand being quietly discharged.
They mutinied in the pluckiest manner ; they were
utterly "licked" in half-an hour, and driven into
the jungle, where in the course of one week they
were hunted up and " accounted for ;" and you
know that in Punjaub phraseology " accounting
for" means the extreme fate due to mutineers. We
are very sorry that they would insist on breaking
out. I\re meant that they should go quietly home ;
as they decided otherwise, their blood is on their
own heads. At other stations they are going off
quietly enough in parties of 50 a day. In the course
of two months or so we shall have got rid of some
12,000 of them. They had all along been hoeing
that an opportunity would arise when they might
once more strike for power. At times, however,
they were heartily sick of remaining in camp in
front of guns and guarded by sentries, and doubt-
less they sighed for home. But when the time
came for going home, and also for being finally dis-
charged, and losing all hope of restored influence,
then their hearts failed them and their disappoint-
ment was bitter. Moreover, they could not believe
our assurances ; they felt that they had given us
cause for undying vengeance, and they expected
that when separated into small parties on the road
they would be " polished off" in detail. They ex-
pected to be buried in the jungle or drowned in the
livers. Such are the terrors of a serey conscience.
The last of the fugitive mutineers who took refuge
in the Himalayan regions are pricked up from time
to time. The other day a party of ninety, after ex-
traordinary wanderings, were trying to escape by
Thibet and Chinese territory. Fancy that world of
glaciers and rocks and literally howling wilder-
ness being traversed by sepoys born in the hot
and fertile plains of Hindostan ! But a pur-
suing destiny awaited them. They were fol-
lowed by a civil officer (Mr. Knox) and some
th;rty Sikhs and hill-men ;and were captured
in Chinese territory. That a single European with
a few Punjaubee followers, separated by some 20
marches over several mountain ranges from all
European support, should be able to take so large
a party in the remotest Himalayan uplands shows
that British prestige still lives even in the rudest
localities.
