LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

. COURT OF ERROR.
SHERIDAN V. THE PHCENIX INSURANCE COMPANY-

The contention in this case was whether the plaintiff's
life policy was an annual or quarterly life policy of insur-
ance.

The Court of Queen's Bench, by their judgment in
favour of defendants, found that the policy was a quarterly
policy, and that, in the circumstances of the case, the
plaintiff was not entitled to recover under it.

The Lord Chief Baron (Pollock) delivered the judgment
of the Court of Error this morning, reversing the judgment
of the court below, and finding that the policy of insurance
was an aunual policy, and that the plaintiff was entitled to
recover under the life policy of insurance.
Judgment for the plaintiff.

This was an action of damages for assault between two
brothers. The one brother assaulted the other, who was
protecting his mother from his brother's violence ; and the
question raised was, whether the defendant exceeded the
due protection of his mother in assaulting the plaintiff.
Lord Campbell suggested the propriety of referring this
case to arbitration, as it was a family case, and a public
investigation might disclose family matters under painful
circumstances.

Counsel for both parties consented, on condition that the
reference was immediately proceeded with.

Of consent a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subjec]
to a reference to arbitration.

GREENE V. HAYES, BART.
Plaintiff claimed £4.50 commission for obtaining for the
defendant a loan of £30,000 on his estates in the county of
Donegal, Ireland, in June, 1857.

Defendant pleaded never indebted, the security never was
completed, and the money never was obtained.
After the examination of witnesses in the cause, the jury
found a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of
the Court on the facts of the case.

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
MARCHMONT V. MARCHMONT.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott this morning replied, on behalf of
Mrs. Marchmont, to evidence adduced by the husband.
The learned sergeant, in the course of a very eloquent
speech, contended that the petitioner had made out her
case, and was, therefore, entitled to a verdict.

The petitioner (Mrs. Marchmont) was fora judicial sepa-
ration on the ground of cruelty. The pleas were a denial
of the cruelty and condonation.

[We shall, in the event of the verdict being gives,
publish it in our late edition.]

Plaintiff is a wood engraver, and sought to recover £5
for some engravings made from stereoscopic pictures at the
order of defendant, proprietor of Thorley's Patent Food for
Cattle.

Mr. Buchanan appeared for defendant, who objected
paying for the work as it was so indifferently accomplished
as to be perfectly useless. Mr. Buchanan called his Honou's
attention to the fact that in no one instance did the copy
resemble the original. In the original, his Honour would
see Mr. Thorley, his father, and eight workmen, standing
round a resuscitated animal with wonder and delight.
(Laughter.)
His Honour—Wonder I

Mr. Buchanan—Yes; just look at the other picture.
Now, in defendant's engraving intended for our almanack
the horse is a perfect disgrace—it. does not look a bit as i
it had partaken of our patent food. (Roars of laughter.)
Altogether the picture is of no earthly use, and so we
refuse it.

Plaintiff insisted that it was well done, and well worth
the money. He was pressed for time, and a finished affair
was not expected.

To rebut this Mr. Hodgson (Hodgson's time-tables), a
person of great experience, was called, and he stated that
plaintiff had ample time, and that the engraving was not
worth half what was charged for it.
His Honour said that, looking at the stereoscopic pic-
ture, he thought it would be an arduous task to make a
reduced wood engraving at the price of £5 ; but, after the
evidence adduced for defendant, he thought a verdict for
£3 would meet the merits of the case.
