LAW .1.2V1ELMG.8.N02,-( 1711 E

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Tenn Kindersley.

WARD V. DICKSON.
The further hearing in this part-heard motion for de,
tree was resumed this morninm

Mr. Baillie, Q.C., resumed, and ooncluded his argument
for the respondent. The learned counsel contended that
the plaintiff's bill should be dismissed, with costs, in
respect that the title offered by the plaintiff is bad in
law, and the contract of sale ought to be, rescinded.
The plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of the
contract of sale of a reversionary interest at a public sale of
a lady and gentleman (father and daughter), Mr. and Miss
Lloyd and mortgagees, under a power of sale, for £530,
reduced to £5lO, and subsequently sold by the _plaintiff to
the defendant for £750.
Negotiations had been entered into for the purchase of
this reversionary interest, first, by the Law Reversionary
Interest Society ; and second, by the National Rever-
sionary Interest Society, and abandoned.
Conflicting evidence as to the value of the interest was
given on both sides,

His Honour then allowed, ne excat, on di* defendan
paying costs on certain terms.

The learned Judge, in making his decree in this case,
said it was a proceeding instituted on the part of the hus-
band for the restitution of conjugal eights, which was re-
sisted by Mrs. Cherry on the ground of cruelty. The issue
was tried in this court before a special jury, who found a
verdict for the husband, they being of opinion that no
cruelty had been proved. Ho entirely concurred in the
conclusion to which the jury had arrived, and
it now only remained for him to issue his decree,
which he accordingly did, and which was, that the
lady return to her husband. Ho trusted the learned
counsel, or whoever might communicate to the lady
the decision would place before her the remarks of the

learned judge, Lord Stowell, who, in giving judgment
upon a case precisely similar, advised the lady to improve
her mind by what had passed, and abstain from exagge-
rated notions.
Mr. Maude asked what was to be done about the costs in
the case. Mrs. Cherry had separate property of her own.
The learned Judge—That, raises two points for con-
sideration; the first is what precedent have you for
such an order ?

Mr. Maudo—l am not aware that ono exists.
The Judge Ordinary—Then that releases me of having
one in my way. make no order on the point.

Dr. Adams applied ;to the Court for an interim order,
directing that the custody of a child, a boy of seven years
old, might be confided to his mother during the time interven-
ing between the trial of a cause fixed for hearing in the full
court for a dissolution of marriage between the parties.
The child was at present in the care of Mr. Manning, a
schoolmaster, and the father had applied to him for
his son, but in consequence of his representing to
him that he would be a sufferer if he removed the
child suddenly, an undertaking was given that the child
should not leave the place uiftil midnight of the 23d Dec.,
by which time it is expected it would be decided who was
to have the custody of the child,the mother or father. The
mother of the respondent, Lady Boynton, was much at-
tached to the child, and if sho would take charge of the
child, he thought it would meet the views of all parties.
Mr. Sharp, for Mr. Boynton, the father, said he had no
objection to the child being left with Lady Boynton, but if
any other party was named then he should contend that the
father both by law and right was the proper person to have
the custody of the child.

The Learned Judge said it was not a question involving
the education of the child. It was only a question of
whom for a few weeks should have the custody of the boy.
Mr. Sharp contended that the father, by the practice of
the Court of Chancery, was the most proper person. He
could show by argument—
The Learned Judge—l shall not decide on that
point, and as a hint to the learned gentleman
I reminded of the observation of a very emi-
nent judge, now departed, that on one occasion,
after hearing a very knotty point most minutely and elo-
quently argued, said, "I am much obligod to you, gentle-
men ; you have given me a groat deal of information, but I
don't intend to decide upon that part of the case. (Laugh-
ter.) I merely throw out this for the guidance of the
learned counsel."

. Mr. Sharp—My client has no objection to the boy being
entrusted to the care of his (respondent's) mother, provid-
ing an undertaking is given that he shall not be removed.
The learned Judge—There is a great deal of difficulty in
deciding questions such as these. If the child had
been placed at the school at which he now was
previous to the separation of Mr. and Mrs. Boyn-
ton, I should have decided that Mr. Manning
the schoolmaster was the person who ought to have cus-
tody of him, but it appears that he had been placed at that
gentleman's establishment, after the separation, by the
mother, which materially altered the case. I think that
Lady Boynton, who has great affection for the child is the
best person to whom the child can be entrusted. I there-
fore order that the child be given up to her, but that ho be
not removed from her without an order from this Court, the
child's mother to have access to him at all times.
Mr. Sharp—Will your Honour issue the order immedi-
ately. Mr. Manning's undertaking expires to-night.
The Learned Judge—Mr. Manning, I am sure, will not,
after such a direction, give up the child to any but the pro-
per person. He would not act so disrespectful to the court.
It would be tantamount to setting it at defiance. That, I
am sure he would not do. The child is to be delivered up
to any trustworthy person appointed by Lady Boynton,
other than her son.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburu.)
'IN RR DAVIDSON AND GORDON.
The examination of this case was resumed this morning,
and several witnesses were examined, but nothing definite
transpired in consequence of the absence of certain parties.
There is no probability of the case being concluded to-day.

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
A PLAINTIFF FOR SIXPENCE-IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS

-BYRON V. WALTON AND °TRIMS.
Plaintiff is a shipowner, and sought to recover the sum
of 6d. for primage on 10s. 6d. freight introduced to his
vessel by defendant, a shipping agent. The plaint note was
for 118., but the freight, 10s. 6d., was paid into court.
Plaintiff said it was customary for the owner to receive
the primage as well as the freight, unless a direct arrange-
ment was made to the contrary. If primage was allowed
it was always marked on the card.
Defendant produced a lot of cards on the backs of which
was written, " Primage allowed." It was usual for agents
to take the primage. Some cards produced had nothing on
the back, and defendant said he had received primage•
His Honour said as the evidence appeared he must find
for plaintiff.
Plaintiff—lt is very important.

His Honour—lt is a small an;ount an a wretched case.
INCREASING DAMAGES IN A
- RUNNING DOWN CASE-
STRAKER V. TILE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COM-

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE::

A solicitor appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beard for
the defendants. This was a running down case, and Di 6s.
was claimed by plaintiff, a printer, of Bishopsgate-street,
for damage done to his truck by defendant's omni-
bus. It was a case of the usual kind as to the swearing,
and the only point of interest was the gradual increase of
the damages.

Mr. Beard, for the defendants, pointed out that the acci-
dent occurred on the 10th September, and on the 14th, Mr.
Straker wrote demanding 30s. That money was offered by
defendants' servant and refused on the ground that the
damage was 50s. Plaintiff, however, offered to take 40s.
His Honour—And plaintiff seeks to recover £4 Gs. ?
Plaintiff's Solicitor—Yes, 42 consequential damages.
His Honour would give a verdict for 30s. and costs.
Mr. Beard thought no costs should be allowed, as the
money had been offered, and would have to be paid by the
driver, who, after all, was not in fault..
THE STOCK EXCHANGE.--IMPORTANT TO BROKBES..--
LEEK V. Roo
The plaintiff is a stock-broker, and defendant is a trades-
man at the West-end. The action was brought to recover
the sum of £9, had and received by defendant in error. It
appeared that defendant instructed plaintiff to sell out upon
a certain day. Plaintiff did so, and allowed defendant one
. per cent, too much. He was not aware of the fact until the
jobber, to whom plaintiff sold, pointed it out, and demanded
to have the sum charged in excess returned. Plaintiff had
mentioned to defendant the fractional quotations, but had
not noticed the larger sum.

His Honour thought he could not give plaintiff a verdict,
as plaintiff might have induced defendant to sell by stating
the quotations.

Plaintiff—l did not say whether it was 96 or 97.
Defendant's counsel—Plaintiff distinctly said that the
prices were 97k, or my client would not have sold.
Defendant was then sworn, and said that after the sale
plaintiff told him he had sold at 97g. Had plaintiff not
said that consols were at 97/ he should not have sold.
Plaintiff--I have paid the money to the jobber.
His Honour—you have evidently made a mistake. I
have no doubt of your respectability, but you must suffer
the loss.
Verdict for defendant.

THE MURDER NEAR NOTTINGHAM.—The police
have succeeded in capturing West (the man suspected of
being concerned in the above murder), and he wag brought
before the county magistrates at Nottingham on Wednes-
day, and remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The Sport announces that Count F. de Lagrange
has just accepted an invitation to act with Lord Coventry
and Count Batthyany as steward at the spring meeting at
Warwick; and that this is the first time that a French gen-
tleman has obtained the honour of being steward at races in
England. The same journal states that the "Administra-
tion des Haras" has purchased the Flying Dutchman,
winner of the Derby and St. Leger in 1849, tor, it is said,
4,000 guineas. He is to serve as a stallion. The adminis-
trationhas likewise purchased other stallions in England.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

A SCENT IN TILE Ha.Y3tAnKET.-=-Charles Jones, ckrk ;
William Atkinson, clerk; John Herbert Searle, clog{ ;
Charles Curtis, butcher; and Ellen Curtis, were charged,
the first with being drunk and creating a disturbance in
the Haymarket, the third with assaulting Sergeant Silves-
ter, 293 A, and the others 'pith attempting to rescue their
companions from custody.

From the evidence of Sergeant Silvester it appeared that
a little after one that morning he saw the whole of the pri-
soners in the Haymarket, with a large number of other
persons, several of them prostitutes, creating a great dis-
turbance by holloaing and singing. He requested them to
go home, which, after some demur, two of thorn did, but
the others refused and commenced singing. He then told
them that if they insisted on exercising their vocal powers
they had better go into a public house, where their
friends had gone. Jones then walked round him,
and, looking at him, said he wished to take his
length (the sergeant is a fine tall man), and that he
would not go for a - policeman like him. Finding that
expostulation was of no use, he took him into custody, and
after going about 50 yards, the others surrounded him, the
male prisoner Curtis seizing him by the collar, and asking
him why he was taking his friend. The disturbance then
became general, and they were all taken into custody.
They had all been drinking, the prisoner Jones being the
worst of the lot.

The charge being denied in toto, Appleton 308 C was
called, and confirmed a great portion of the previous evi-
dence.

Mr. Inspector Holden (of the C Division) said Jones,
Curtis, and Atkinson were all drunk when brought to the
station—Jones very drunk.

Jones was fined 10s., Atkinson 205., Curtis 205., and the
others ss. each.
