THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1858,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DA I':)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
PETITION BY ORDER.-VVEY V. CHAPLIN.
The contention in this case wai whether the court had a
right to correct a mistake in the enrolment of an order, by
the clerk, as to costs.
Their lordships corrected the n.der by inserting in the
order that the plaintiff was entitled to costs.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
HUMPHRY V. OLVII-JUDGMENT.
His Honour, the Master of' the Rolls, in delivering
judgment, said—The question in this case is whether the
appointment made by Mrs. Wd). a lady now deceased, is a
valid appointmont—a bona fide appointment--or made in
defraud of the powers which she had a right to exercise
under her husband's. will.
In 1822 they had £914 14s. and 11(1 Three per Cent. Con-
sols, and dividends on stock in the bank. Mr. Webbassigned
all these to her for her life for her use, with power of ap-
pointment, and to any children he might leave at his death.
In 1847 her husbard died. In June, 1852, the defendant
married Sophia, one of the daughters. Mrs. Webb, on the
17th August, 1853, by deed of appointment, gave
£3OO out of the Three per Cent. Consols for the separate
use of this lady, 'Mrs. Sophia Olvin This was
said to be for the benefit of Mrs. Webb, the appointor,
who wanted to borrow money upon it and not for the benefit
of Mrs. Olvin, the appointee. After considering the oral and
documentary evidence produced, his Honour was of opinion
that the appointment was a bona fide vaia appointment
in favour of the late Mrs. Sophia Olvin.
His Honour made the usual declaration sustaining the
deed of appointment, ordered an account to be taken, and
dismissed the bill, which asked to set aside the deed, wit ti.
costs. •

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.)
EVANS V. EVANS AND ROBINSON.

The case for the petitioner closed shortly before two
o'clock, when Mr. Edward James opened the defence. The
first witness called was a lady named Ormsby,formerly living
at Cheltenham. She stated that in 1845 she was positive she
never gave a ball at her house in Lansdowne-terrace. Her
mother dying about the time stated was the reason that
made her remember. This is the ball at which it has been
sworn Mr. Robinson left in a fly in company with Miss
Carrington.
The case will not conclude before to-morrow.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.)
1 IN RE DAVIDSON AND GORDON.

To-day was appointed for the adjourned sitting for con-
sideration of the certificate of these bankrupts, and several
witnesses were called to speak to various transactions with
the bankrupts.
The first witness was Mr. Edwards, of Mincing-lane,
colonial broker, who deposed to dealings with the bank-
rupts on the 17th July, 18,51, with respect to some speller
warrants, when Gordon applied for an advance on some
spelter warrants, and he agreed to advance £4,2so—the
spelter being of the value of about £s,2oo—the next day,
and it was proposed that the advance should be made to
Cole Brothers, which was agreed to, and witness accepted
Cole's drafts. Witness afterwards sent his clerk to Hargan's
wharf when it was ascertained that there was a stoppage
on the spelter. Witness saw Gordon about two hours after
at Cole's, and told him that there was some irregularity in
the transaction, and unless it was settled he (witness) would
take Gordon and Davidson to the Mansion-house. Gordon
said that witness had known him several years, and he
(witness) might depend that the matter should be set
straight the next day, and witness took his word. Witness
seldom saw Davidson, Witness's evidence chiefly went to
show that there had been irregularities in the transaction,
but that the amount advanced had been repaid, and that
the transaction did not destroy the confidence between
himself and Gordon, and that extensive transactions had
taken place—he could not say to what amount, but varying
in the year—£2B,ooo one year, £40,000 'perhaps another.
He could not say but that the stoppage was for freight. He
at the time considered that Gordon was only taking part in
the transaction for the sake of dividing the commission, and
witness gave him a cheque for the amount,
Several other witnesses were examined, and the case is
not likely to be terminated to-day.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN RE HOWES.

The bankrupt was described as of the White Horse Inn,
Uxbridge, and to-day came up for his certificate.
The balance-sheet by Mr. March, Basinghall-street,
shows—Debtor to creditor, unsecured, £3,153 1 ls. ; to ditto
holding security, £2,287; profits, £682; surplus capital,
July, 1856, £221. The assets were—good debts, £63 4s. ;
doubtful, £34 10s. ; property, £366 ; ditto in the hands of
creditors, £3,000 ; losses, £1,352, chiefly on the sale of pro-
perty mortgaged, houses, 'busses, flys, &c.
Mr. Pook, for the assignees, did not oppose, and his
Honour granted a certificate of the second class.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
OMNIBUS NURSING-WET AND DRY NURSES--.GRAY V.

MACNAMARA.

This was a summons for damages sustained by plaintiff's
phaeton from one of defendant's omnibuses. The evidence
was, as usual, conftietory, and plaintiff's groom swore that
defendant's driver was nursing a Saloon 'bus, and, in his
anxiety to pass, he struck the wheel off plaintiff's phaeton.

To controvert this, defendant called a witness to prove
that he was going at a very moderate pace, and that he was
not nursing
any 'bus. He had nothing to do with that
work.

Plaintiff's Groom—Yes, you were. There was one of the
Company's 'busses in front, then a Saloon, and then yours.
His Honour—Yes ; like a sandwich. Pray, which is the
wet nurse ? I suppose the front one. (Roars of laughter.)
Defendant's driver could assure his honour that he was
not nursing, and that the accident had occurred through
the plaintiff's groom's own fault. It was very common for
people to say, " Oh, nursing, of wurse."
His Honour said he must give plaintiff a verdict for 13s.
6d. He did not think defendant's driver was nursing at
the time.

CLEItKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Sergeant Jones.)
THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH.-
ANTILL V. HUNT.
Mr. Jay appeared for the defendants.
Plaintiff is a tailor, and had until lately paid his addresses
to defendant's daughter. The action was brought to re-
cover the value of some presents made from plaintiff to the
young lady, and which defendant refused to return. Plain-
tiff thought, as the match and courting were broken off, his
"lady love" had no right to the tokens of his "sincere
affection."
Mr. Jay said that plaintiff had no right to sue defendant,
who was the mother of defendant's once sweetheart. ' Why
not sue the young lady herself ?
His Honour thought it was a pity such cases should be
brought into court. If the match was broken off, surely
defendant should have no wish to withhold articles that
could only call to mind a great deal of unpleasantness.
Mr. Jar—We will give the articles if Plaintiff will call
for them.
His Honour—Then I will adjourn the case till Thurs-
day morning to give time for effecting such purpose.
Mr. Jay—Your Honour will give no costs. Plaintiff has
had good living at our expense, at least a meal a day.
Plaintiff—l paid for them.
His Honour-,I will make no order for costs till Thurs-
day morning.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

The Newmarket Coursing- Meeting, which commences
this day (Tuesday), attracted many of tho principal turf
speculators from London. The wretched state of the wea-
ther, coupled with this circumstance, caused the room to be
very thinly attended. The investments were unimportant,
and they were made at the quoted odds :--
