LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)

APPEAL-SCOTT V. THE MAYOR, &C., OF LIVERPOOL.
Mr. Karslake resumed his argument in this part-heard
appeal for the appellants.
The contention arises on some intricate and complicated
disputed accounts for work done for the corporation. The
arguments will occupy the entire day.
APPEALS-WELLESLEY V. MORNINGTON-MORNINGTON

V. WELLESLEY.
These causes were compromised yesterday.
(Before the Lords Justices.)

APPEALS-RAWLINS V. WICKHAN-WICKIIAM V. BAILEY.

Mr. Mathis, Q.C., resumed this morning his arguments
for the respondents in these part-heird appeals. The argu-
ments will continue the entire day.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
JUDGMENT.-IN RE POWELL'S TRUST.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, in delivering judg-
ment, said—This is a short matter, which relates to the
estate of the late Mary Powell, the testatrix. The sum of
£676 16s. 7d. has been paid into court as the amount of the
residue of the testatrix's estate, and the question
raised is on a bequest of a sum of money
bequeathed to the legatee—whether it is payable
out of the funds in court, or the funds in hand of the tes-
tatrix at the time of her death. A sum of £5OO was
secured by note of hand, and £lOO was also secured by
a note of hand in the savings bank. By her will she gave
£95 16s. sd. and £l9 13s. to her relative, Mary Powell,
payable out of the ready cash in her house at the date of
her death. The testatrix, by her will, declared—" After
my funeral and testamentary expenses are paid, I
leave and bequeath to Mary Powell, at North Wood,
these sums out of all my ready money. The bequest
is confined to "ready money," and the question is, what is
ready money? His Honour, on the authority of decided
cases, considered that the money in the savings bank, of
whiclishe had given notice of demand before her death, was
ready money, and the sum of £l9 16s. of money in the
savings bank and £95 16s. sd. on the promissory notes in
the bank passed to the legatee as ready money, and that
the sum of £175 must be paid out of the funds in court to
her. The general estate shall bear the costs of all parties.
Decreed accordingly.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
KEATS V. KEATS AND MONTEZUMA.
The jury had not returned a verdict when we went to
press.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (2his Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES.

Henry Belcher, 33, pleaded guilty to three indictments
charging him with larceny and obtaining money by false
pretences.
Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, informed
the Court that the prisoner had been in the service of
Messrs. Ridgway and Co., notaries, as conveyancing clerk,
and in that capacity he was intrusted with money to pay
fees at Somerset-house, and he appropriated that money to
his own use. He had also applied to various clients of the
prosecutors for accounts that were due to them, and he
kept the money so obtained. A mortgage deed belonging
to Messrs. Ridg'ay was also missing, and it was believed
that the prisoner knew something of it, and it was hoped
he would give such information as would lead to its restitu-
tion.
2 lldi I Sentence deferred.

UTTERING FORGED BILLS.

James Bayles, 28, crape-maker, was indicted for felo-
niously uttering two forged bills of exchange for £2O and
£4O, with intent to defraud.
• The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robin-
son for the defence.

The learned counsel having stated the case to the jury,
called

Mr. W. Cribb, of St. Swithin's-lane, said I have known
the prisoner the last four years. Early in September he
brought me a bill for £2O and another for £4O to discount.
The £4O bill was brought first. He asked me to discount
the bill, and he produced two policies of assurance, which
he said were worth £72. The bills produced are the docu-
ments he brought to me. The signature of the £2O bill is
in the prisoner's handwriting. The £4O bill I also be-
lieve to be written by him. The £2O bill purported to be
drawn by the prisoner and accepted by J. B. Marshall, of
Anderson-street, Chelsea. The bills were discounted, and
the prisoner received the money less the commission. The
bills were not paid when they arrived at maturity. Mr.
Marshall, when he was applied to, said the acceptances
were not in his handwriting.

The Recorder said that, in his opinion, the charge of for-
gery could not be supported, as there was an absence of any
evidence to show an intention to defraud, the policy of assu-
rance being admitted to be worth more than the sum ad-
vanced on the two bills.

Mr. Robinson said there was really no pretence for the
charge of forgery, and that the unfortunate prisoner had
been the dupe of a Mr. Marshall, the cousin of Mr. J. B
Marshall, and from whom he received the bills in question,
and to whom he afterwards handed the money, he never
having the least idea that there was anything wrong about
the bills, as he fully believed the signature to be that of
Mr. J. B. Marshall. w

The jury then returned a verdict of not guilty.
The prisoner applied to have the bills impounded, as he
intended to take proceedings against George Marshall as
soon as be could find him.

The Recorder said he saw no objection to the bills being
taken care of by the officer of the court.

The prisoner was then ordered to be discharged.

NEW COURT ,
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
The hearing of Mint prosecutions, which were all of
the most ordinary description, occupied tho Court the
whole of the day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DRUNKARD'S MORAL FEELING.—Peter
a tall man, and who spoke in a stentorian tone of voice,
was charged with assaulting Murrell, 80 C, and creating a
disturbance.

Murrell said that about four that morning he heard the
prisoner creating a great disturbance, and on requesting
him to move on he commenced abusing him in the most
violent manner, making use of the most disgusting lan-
guage. He became so violent that he was obliged to get
the assistance of another constable, when the prisoner
kicked him in the ankle and hurt his back very much.
The prisoner, at the top of his voice, said a more infa-
mous statement was never made by a man having any claim
to moral feeling than that by the constable. He saw the
constable, with another, in solemn conclave, when they
ordered him to go along, and, wishing to get away from
them, he set to running, upon which he received a kick
from behind, and when he got to the door of his own house
the constable seized him and said "You don't lodge here."
Mr. Beadon—Was you sober ?

Prisoner—Oh, yes. I could find my way home.
Mr. Beadon—You have fallen into the hands of one of
the steadiest of constables, and I believe what he has said.
Fined 105.,0r seven days.

Prisoner, as he was leaving the dock, said " Well, that's
a very heavy sentence, I think."

THE ARRESTS IN THE SOUTH.

The Cork Constitution states that the 15 Pheenix
Clubbites are all Roman Catholics. Other arrests,
it is said, will be effected in the course of a few
days. A branch of the society is believed to be in
existence at Clonakilty, and the authorities are
procuring information relative to the members with
a view of placing them under the surveillance of
the police. The Rev. Dr. Cahill, of Ultramontane
notoriety, occasionally dismounts the high horse he
has almost ridden to death, and condescends to
write plain sense. In one of his latest contribu-
tions to the Weekly Telegraph, the rev. gentleman
addresses these words of warning to his " fellovr-
countrymen" :

" A; the Government of this country are gene-
rally well informed on the organisation, the plans,
and the very names of the leaders of secret socie-
ties in Ireland, it cannot be doubted that the pro-
clamation issued in the end of last week by the
Lord Lieutenant has been called forth by the strin-
gent necessity of the ease. From a very long expe-
rience, indeed, I have never known a similar pro-
clamation founded on false information. The vice-
regal authorities may occasionally make a mistake
in the extent of the confederacy, or in individuals ;
but beyond dispute their knowledge of its origina-
tors, members, abettors, and silent friends, is most
accurate. You may rely on this statement with
implicit confidence ; and be perfectly satisfied and
convinced that the Chief Secretary at the Castle
can produce, at the moment I write these words,
the names of every individual who has administered
an unlawful oath, as well as the names, the resi-
dence, the parents, the character of every wretched
dupe who has defiled God's Gospel as he puts
his trembling hand to this blasphemous :pledge.
The moment when the unfortunate new member
pronounces ',the words of the confederate oath, in
that moment he places his life at the mercy of a
traitorous companion or a perjured spy, he ties the
hangman's rope on his own neck, he pronounces
his own sentence of death, and prepares him-
self, ill-fated wretch! to die on an ignominious
scaffold. If you wish to learn whence have the
Government derived their knowledge, and whence
have I assumed the tone of confidence with which
I speak, I reply,—The Government have their in-
formation from your own associates ; from the very
man who administered the oath ; from the villain
who perjured you into blasphemy, who received a
bribe for your death, and who makes a traffic on
your flesh and blood. The Government has this
accurate information within 24 hours of your san-
guinary oath, and I have this knowledge graven
on my heart from my intimate acquaintance with
the unfortunate history of the atrocious system of
secret societies."

• MEETING OF LANDED PROPRIETORS.
It appears that a preliminary meeting of landed
proprietors was held in Dublin on Saturday last, to
make arrangements for a general meeting of the
landed gentry of Ireland of all parties, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the defects of the
law for the protection of life and property, and the
amendments which should be sought for in the next
session of. Parliament. The meeting will be held
in Dublin about the middle of January next.
