COURT OF CHANCERY.
.(Before the. Lor- Chancellor.)
TWO APPEALS-PAREEB V. TASWELL.

The further hearing of these -part-heard appeals was
resumed this morning. The plaintiff filed his bill fo,
specific performance of an agreement not under seal,
and not signed by the landlord, but by his attorney, in
his absence, for a lease of two farms and houses to b,
built thereon, at Winbtone, in the county of Durham,
at 2401. and 2701. per annum.

The defendant plealed the statute cf frauds and un
certainty of the terms of agreement which could not be

enforced

The Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart decreed specific
performance of the agreement by the defendant, but gave
no costs to the plaintiff.
The parties app.aled.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this
case, the Lord Chancellor delivered judgment, affirming
the decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuatt, except
as to costs of suit, and varied the decree in so far as to
find the defendant liable in costs, and dismissed the ap-
peal without costs of appeal.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
RESIGNATION OF MS. JUSTICE COLERIDGE.

The two Middlesex grand juries were this morning
sworn wzcordiog to the usual custom. There was no
business to come before them, and Mr. Justice Coleridge,
the senior puisne judge, before whom they have to be
pworn, said it was the last time he would have an op-
portunity of addressing them, and expressed a hope
that if the institution was to be c)ntinuerl it would be
so modified as to lessen the inconvenience the public
bad of late years been put to from the happy change of
the times between the present period and the time when
the services of the grand jury of the greatest court in
the realm were in great request.

SOUTTLING A SHP: ON Tilt HP-'ll SEAS

SA.N FRA.NCISCO, April 4.--A case of robbery
the nigh tears, vrtli the ohjeet of actramiing
ranee conapaides in E:.. which has
just coz.e
to Lett here is deserving of notice.
Tue story is a long tale of roguery, but the fol-
lowing are the main facts :
On. the 4th of Fe bruary the brig Gornelia, com-
manded by, one Henry Benet, aGetman,
under Mexican colouis, and a regular trader foi
some time past betwceu the__Coaet.cf Mexico and
San Francisco, left the port of Miazallan with a
cargo of salt; for this pat. She had on boaj3
19,000 Mexican dollars, shipped at Mazatlan by
the English house of Ballingall, Thompson, an]
Co., consigned to Mr. Thomas Bell, a merchant of
San Francisco; a British subject.
By the ship's manifest it was made toappear that
she had on board, in addition to the above $19,000,
silver to the value of $29,000 consigned to S. Hen-
derson, of San Francisco, by two bills of lading,
one purporting to be fPr $22,000, the other for
$7,000. •
On the 27th of March news reached San Fran-
cisco that the Cornelia had been lost on the coast of
Lower California, and no suspicions were enter-
tained of the manner of her loss until three of her
crew, who arrived here on the 26th ult.. revealed
the fact that the captain and mate had scuttled
ship and stolen the treasure. The captain and mate
being also here, an attempt was made to arraign
them before the United States' Court of Admiralty
on the charge of robbery, but the attempt was ren-
dered ineffectual by the opinion of the United
States' District Attorney that the Court had no
jurisdiction, and that he could not inter here, as
" the vessel and all.concerned are foreigners."
The captain and mate were, however, arrested
by the police, and.it was soon elicited that when
off San Quentin they scuttled the vessel ; that
while the craw were belowy,on occasion of the ship
being becalmed, these tw'd worthies removed the
silver out of the vessel into the ship's boat and
covered it over that the crew could not see it ;
that some one of the men saw enough to excite
his suspicions, however, and that, finally, as the
brig was leaking badly she was abandoned, all
hands took to the boat, and landed on the coast of
Lower California. Here the captain and mats got
rid of the crew by some hocus-pocus, and gave them
money to carry thorn up t.l San Diego, where they
could take the coast steamer for San Francisco.

The crew suspected that after they were got rid
of the money was buried, and their suspicions
turned out to be well-founded, for the captain has,
since his arrest, confessed his guilt. Finding the case
going hard against him, he made a clean breast of
it to Mr. Bell, the consignee of the 19,000 dols. of
silver already spoken of, from whose affidavit,
kindly lent to me by that gentleman, I make the
following extract of the captain's confession
" That the Mexican dollars (about 19,000) were, on
or about the Bth of February last, landed from tl:e
vessel at Cape San Lucas (on the coast of Lower
California) by him, Captain Benet, and the mate
of the said vessel, and there buriEd by him the said
Capt. Benet alone." Ilethen goes on with consider-
able 'naiveté to confess, in the second place, what to
ordinary minds will appear startling enough, "That
the other amounts of specie (viz., the 22,000 dole.
and the 7,000 dela.) which he declared in Ws pro-
test to have been shipped at Mazatlan—that is (to
follow his own diction) one lot of 22,000 dols. and
another of 7,000 dols:, were never received on board
of said brig Cornelia" and,that he had signed bills of
lading for these two lots of dollars at the instiga-
tion of —" (I suppress the name in a commu-
nication to be made public from prudential motives)
" of Mazatlan."

It thus appears that the two bills of lading for
the 29,000 dols. (one for 22,000 dols., and the other
for 7,000 dols.) were false—fabricated to recover
the insurance—as no such or any other sum
represented by the bills of lading was ever
shipped. The consignee is also a fictitious
person "S. Henderson," of San Fran isco,
being a myth. Benet had, before sailing from
Maz ttlan, written to England for insurance
on his imaginary treasure, with a view of recovering
the 29,000 dols. from the underwriters ; and had
his scheme succeeied he would have made in all
48,000 dol4. by the operation, counting the 19,000
duls. stolen from his vessel and buried.
This latter sum the underwriters would also have
been mulcted in, for it was insured regularly, and
unless it is recovered they will still have to make it
good.
To return to the captain's confession ; ho goes on

further to declare "that he was the only person
who knew where the money was buried ; and that
he was ready and willing to go down to the place
and deliver it up " He was taken at his word, and
in pursuance of his offer Lloyd's agent chartered
one of our pilot boats, a swift sailing craft, and the
captain and his mate, whose name is given as Louis
Lenart, and whu is said to be a Chilian, have been
taken down the coast in charge of three of the S Lir
Francisco police with the view of recovering tlie
silver. They left on the 30th, and may bo expected
back in two or three weeks.

The captain's confession wa3 made to Mr. Bell
in the presence of the Chief of Police and of a mem-
ber of the force, both of whom have wade affidavits
of its correctness. He would not sign a written
statement, and he denies having scuttled the ves-
sel ; but no dependence can be placed upon this
denial, for he swore to a tissue of falsehoods in his
protest ; and the crew continue to assert that the
brig was scuttled some time before they left her.
