LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEAL.-WRITTINGTON V. EDWARDS.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this
cause, the Lord Chancellor dismissed the appeal, with costs.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
TRYSON AND OTHERS V. WESTROP AND OTHERS.
The examination of witnesses in this case, which has
already been before the Court for two days, was resumed
this morning. It is a testamentary suit with respect to the
last will and codicils, dated respectively the 17th of Jan.,
the 23d of May, and the 24th of August, 1857, of Mr. Eyre
Coate, of Cambridgeshire, deceased. The plaintiffs in the
case were the executors named in the will, and the defen-
dant, Mr. Westrop, opposed the grant of probate of the
codicil dated the 24th of August, on the ground that at the
time of its execution Mr. Coate was not of perfect testa-
mentary capacity, and that he had been induced to sign
it by the undue influence of other parties. Mrs. Cut-
ting, who was deceased's heiress-at-law, and her son,
opposed the grant of probate of the will and both
the codicils. The testator was a superior farmer,
living on and farming his own land, at Fordham in
Suffolk. At the time of his death he was 46 years
of age, a bachelor, and possessed of personal rproperty
valued at about £12,000, and real estate amounting to
£l,lOO per annum. It appeared that Mr. Eyre Coate was ,
addicted to habits of intemperance until within a short time
of his decease. Mr. Westrop was a very intimate friend
and near neighbour, who associated much with the testator,
and accompanied him in his excursions to the coast. An-
other intimate friend named in the will was Mr. Hurstwick,
who was a solicitor in practice at Fordham, and who had
managed Mr. Coate's affairs for nearly ten years. Deceased
was of perfect testamentary capacity at the time he signed
his will and the two codicils before the Court, and his rea-
son for making the last codicil was, that during his last at-
tack of illness Mr. Westrop had done several things to
displease him instead of endeavouring to make him comfort-
able. Mr. Eyre Coate had for some time before his death
been afflicted with a pulmonary complaint, which ended in
consumption. He died on August 25, 1837, at Lowestoft,
where he resided for his health.

THIS DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE'.

The arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, dm:ng the
week have amounted to 1,570 quarters Fresh up this
morning the receipts were very moderate, and the show of
samples was consequently somewhat limited. Good and
fine qualities were in fair request at full prices, but other
kinds moved off slowly at late rates.

We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat,
in which very little business was transacted at Monday's
cu'rency.

There was a fair enquiry for malting barley—the supply
of which was :I4mited—at high quotations.
Grinding and distilling sorts were dull, but not cheaper.
Malt changed hands to a fair extent on former terms.
Oats were steady at late quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour quite as dear as on Monday.
