LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Torin Kindersley,

WARD V. DICKSON.

The further hearing in this part-heard motion for de-
cree was resumed this morning.
Mr. Baillie, Q.C., resumed, and concluded 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law, and the contract of sale ought to be rescinded.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 £5BO,
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.

It is probable tho arguments will occupy the whole day,

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
CHERRY V. CHERRY.-DECREE.

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 rights, 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. He 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. He 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 that is what precedent have you for
such an order ?
Mr. Maudo—l am not aware that one exists.
The Judge Ordinary—Then that releases-me of having
one in my way. I make no order on the point.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN TEE HAYMARKET.—CharIes
,Jones, clerk

Williain Atkinson, clerk ; John Herbert Searle, clerk ;

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 with 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 them 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 sergea.nt 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 6s. each.

THAMES.

DARING ROBBERY IN THE MILE-END-ROAD.—George
Gibson, aged 22, and described as a labourer, of No. 8,
Crab-tree-row, Hackney-road, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing a box containing ladies'
wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Muir, of the West
Ham distillery, in Essex.
Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, as a
young man named George George, of No. I, Foster's-
buildings, Union-yard, Shoreditch, was passing along the
Mile-end-road, he saw the prisoner and two other men fol-
lowing a waggon on its way from London to West Ham,
and after various attempts, two of them got into the waggon
between the iron chapel and the Henry the Eighth public-
house, lifted a large box and handed it to their confederate,
the prisoner, who placed it on his shoulders and proceeded
towards London with it. George was determined, if pos-
sible, to have the thieves brought to justice, and followed
them. They soon found out they were watched, and they
looked George sternly in the face, and expressed by.their
looks that they would murder him if he interfered with them.
George was then dodged from street to street for two hours
and a-half, until he at last fell in with a police-constable,
and gave the prisoner into custody, with the box in his pos-
session. The other thieves ran away.
The missing of the box or wearing apparel from the wag-
gon and its ownership was proved by other witnesses.
John Illingworth, police-constab/e, said the prisoner was
given into his custody, and he said a gentleman employed
him to carry the box.
Mr. Yardley asked if the prisoner was known, to which
Roche the gaoler replied that he came from the Worship-
street district, and if remanded he would be recognised by
many constables.
Mr. Yardley—The witness George has behaved remark-
ably well. The public are much indebted to him. There
is no fund at my disposal to reward such good conduct,
except the poor box, and I feel bound to give him ss. from
that fund ; and, policeman, you may tell Mr. Muir, the
owner of the property, that ss. is a very inadequate reward,
and that George ought to haVe more. The prisoner is re-
manded until Monday, and unless the other delinquents au a
taken there is no occasion for the witnesses to attend again.
