APPEALS.

lIEDCIES V. BLICKE. -HEDGES V. HAMPER. --JUDGMENT.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Master
of the Roll 3, the late Lord Langdale, in 1846. The
question was whether, under the will of the late Thomas
Fentham, his four daughters took an annuity of 4001.
for life, or in perpetuity. Lord Langdale held that the
children took the annuity for life. The appellant claims
it in perpetuity, _ _

Lord Justice Turner and Lord Justice Knight Bruce,
in delivering judgment, were of opinion that the daugh-
ters of the testator took the annuity in perpetuity, sub-
ject to the life interest of their children for life. Their
lordships reversed the decree of the late Master of the
Rolls, with cots as between party and patty.

THAMES.

DARING JUVENILE 13URGLAR9. —A boy, named
Michael Latteridge, only 14 years of age, and who has
been often in custody and twice summarily convicted,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being
concerned with two other boys in breaking into the pre-
noises of Mr. John Rosell, of No. 35, Fore-street, Lime-
house, end stealing 167 lbs. of lead and a coppr r boiler
therefrom. It appeared from the evidence of a Thames
police-constable named HO that he was passing the back
of Mr. Russeh's premises in a Thames police galley on
the river, and saw the prisoner ass two other boys re-
moving something heavy from the building towards the
shore. The officer in the galley rowed towards the
shore, and the boys made a ha-ty retreat through
the mud towards the river. Two of them being
closely pressed by the river constable?, jumped
into the water and swam away. Before the
officers could reach their boat the two urchins made for
the shore, got upon the plying plac3 at Duke's there,
and made their escape. The prisoacr, who was not so
nimble as his confederates, was secured. About a card
and a-half from Mr. Russell's watrrsi e pre.,,is which
were unoc2,uped, the i.e:(., bound 1671 b?. of old lead
and a c:ipper boiler. The young burglars had done con-
' siderable mischief on the premises, and had stripped the
lead, identified by Mr. Russell, off the roof and from a
pump in the yard. The copper boiler had been removed
from its place in the kitchen. A brass key was found
upon the prisoner, and Mr. Russell said it was taken
from the iron boiler in the kitchen. The ptisoner,
very impudent boy, denied that he had been on the pro-
secutor's premises, deer:red the brass key to belhis own
property, and said when ho was convicted before he was
quite innocent.
Mr. Yardley—Very well. You are committed for
taial.
