LAW INTELLIGENCE.—('PIus Day.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.)
IN RE PINKERTON'S TRUSTS.

BOW STREET.

EXTENSIVE POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—DanieI Wood-
cock, a letter carrier in the Hackney district, was placed
at the bar charged with stealing a large number of
letters and newspapers, the property of Her Majesty's
Postmaster-General.

The point of contention in this case was—whether the
divine to the legatees under the testators will was abso-
lute, or in trust only.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that
the di,iae was an absolute gift to the legatees and not
subject to the purposes of the trust—but his Honour
desired to see the original will, as objections were made
to the office copy, and directed the offica at Doctors'
Commons to attend this Court on Monday, and produce
the will far the purpose of examination.

Miss Mary Davis. 35, Grove-end-road, St. John's
Wood, said—O❑ the 23d .December last I had occasion
to send some money to my brother at Hackney, and
I accordingly wrote a letter to him, enclosing half a
sovereign, fastened in a card—a tradesman's card, but I
don't recollect the name. I put the letter into the
envelope produced, address to Mr. Davie, at Mr. Tid-
marsh's, Church-street, Hackney, and the letter was
duly posted about a quarter to eight in the evening.
Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, the aunt of the last witness,
-aid she posted the letter at the office, Abbey-road, St.
John's Wood.

ROLLS' COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
GOODWIN T. FINLAYION.

Master Henry John Davis, residing with Mr. Tid-
marsh, at Hackney, said, I never received the letter
addressed to me by my sister.
Harriet Williams, residing at 12, Wilson's-place,
Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, the wife of a dock
labourer, knew a Mrs. Mary Boyce. On the 24th Dec.
I wrote a letter for her, and I saw her enclae 3 six-
oences in the letter, which she fastened with a piece of
card. She put the letter into an envelope which I
-Afterwards directed. The envelope produced was the
one I directed ; it was as follows :—Hanhar Boyce,
[Lipper Homerton, Wourkhouse."
Mary Ann Boyce and Mrs. Boyce were called. The
former proved the posting of this letter, and the latter
the non-receipt.
William Smee, a police constable, attached to the
Post-office, said I took the prisoner into custody
yesterday, at the General Post-office. I searched him,
and amongst other things I found the ft agtnents of two
letters (produced); ono of them related to money being
sent. I asked the prisoner where he lodged, and he
said No. 7, Whitmore-road, Hoxton. I went there
And searched his apartment, and found 39 letters, a
newspaper envelope of W. Dawson and Sons, news-
agents, Aboburch-lane, addressed " Rev. James Connell,
Homerton Parsonage, N.E.," and three newspapers
directed to residents in Hackney and Upper Homerton.
I also found the two envelopes spoken to by the former
witnesses and several other envelopes. I went to the
branch office at Hackney, and opened a drawer with a
key found on the prisoner, and found therei6 nine other
letters and four newspapers, five of which had been
delivered this morning. The dates were as far back as
November and December.

At the sitting of the Court this morning his Honour
the Master of the Rolls delivered judgment in this cause.
The point of contention arose under the construction of
the will of the late Samuel Bearcroft, in the devise of his
property in Farringdon-street and Portman-square to
his son and two daughters. The question was what're!
the nephews and nieces of the testator were entitled to
the accruing shares of the testator's property on the
decea.e of his son and daughters, their parents.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion
that the nephews and nieces of the testator were only
entitled to the original shares devised to their parents,
and that they were not entitled to the accruing shares of
the testator's property, that the accruing shares must
be held as the residue of the testator's property after
payment of the mortgages on his property. Costs to be
paid out of the estate.

Mr. Peacock said the circumstancas that led to the
prisoner's apprehension was that the post marks on a
certain letter having been erased, and the prisoner
being the only person who could effect such a purpose
his lodgings were searched, and upwards of 40 letters
and several envelopes were discovered the majority of
which were addressed to poor persons.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

been extremely limited, and little variation can be reported
in values. _ _

TALLOW.--The market is rather firmer. P.Y.C., on the
spot, is quoted 53s 9d, and for March delivery and for last
three months, 51s 6d to 51s 9d per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—The market is bare of oranges, con-
trary winds preventing arrivals, prices improved in con-
sequence. Two cargoes of St. Michael, sold by Keeling
and Hunt, at public sale, went at an advance of 2s to 3s
per package. Lemons remain without alteration. Nuts of
all kinds sustain their value. The cold weather has cleared
the stock of chesnuts, the consumption of which has been
large.
