LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
THE WILL Or S. A. BUCKLEY.

An application was made on the part of the widow of
the testator for the usual order as next of kin. It ap-
peared the testator died on the 31st of May, 1858, and
the next day the will was discovered, and was shown to
several persons, amongst whom was a justice of the
peace, who gave the singular advice that the document
was noc valid ; and therefore, acting on that opinion,
the will had been destroyed. Since that time, however,
various inquiries had been instituted, and all being not
satifactorily arranged, application was made for letters
of aiministration as next of kin.

Application gra❑ted.
THE WILL OY S. A. HARRIS.

An application for a revocation of motion wall
made on the 20th of July last, and the case
was then ordered to stand over, in order that affi
davits might be obtained satisfactorily explaining the
absence of a Mr. Butler and a witness named
Colquhonn. All those directons having been complied
with, the motion was now sought for.
The learned Judge said, in this case the real will, if ha
recollected rightly, had been destroyed, owing to the
effect of a conversation with a gentleman connected with
Doctors Commons.

The learned counsel informed the Court that every*
thing had been cleared up.
The Judge said heshould like to have known by wheal
however he should not refuse the application.
Motion granted accordingly.
JEFFREY V. JEFFREY.

Mr. Phillimore made an application to the Court to
ascertain in what manner this case should be heard,
whether by affidavit or oral evidence. The ogee Aar
important as it brought in question the Scotch marriage
law.

The learned Judge said, as to the question of fact,
that must be proved by oral evidence, but in thin oar•
it appeared it was disputed whether there was any mar.
eiago at all, good or bad, regular or irregular. They bad
frequently, during trials that had taken place at Carlisle,
to require the attendance of certain gentlemen. from
Gretna Green. (Laughter.) The fact of the marriage
could be proved here, and then a commission might go ts
Scotland to take the opinion of the authorities there as
to the legality of the ceremony. The order he should
make at the present time was, that the trial should take
place in that Court with oral evidence,

A CLAIMANT FOR THE PROPERTY OF THE LATE DIJOHEESE
or YORK.

A. middle-aged man, of rather diminutive proportions'
here stepped forward, and addressing the learned Judge,
iaid he appeared there as a claimant for a portion of the
property of the Duchess of York. His name pal
Frederick Augustus Sears.

The learned Judge—This is not the proper place fat
such an application. It has nothing to do with th•
distribution of property held in trust. You must go to
the Court of Chancery.

Applicant.—l am entitled to the property I claim•
I was well acquainted with the late Duchess of York.

The Judge.—You must make your application to ths
Court of Chancery. We have nothing to do with the
distribution of trusts. I may as well inform you as you
are in court that you must not placard gentlemen
houses; in the event of your doing so, you will be taken
into custody by the police.
The applicant, who appeared disappointed with h 1
lordship's directions, then withdrew.
