VICE-CHANCERY COURT.

CRAWSHAT V. THOANTON.

This case, which was heard on Friday last, was men-
tioned by his Honour this morning.
His HONOUR had consulted with Mr. Justice Bosan-
quet, to whom the application had been made under the
Interpleader Act, and his - Honour concurred in the opi-
nion of the Learned Judge, that there was so much of a
case raised up against the plaintiffs personally by the letter
they addressed to Thornton as might give Thornton a
right of action against them upon it, quite independent of
their original liability as depositories. He did not mean
that the letter was conclusive ; but, as there was ground
to rely upon it alone, this was not an interpleader bill, and
the demurrer must be allowed.

It will be perceived by the foregoing statement, that the
calendar is, in a n:imerical point of view, unprecedently
heavy since the establishment of the Court, but the infe-
rence must not be drawn from the fact, that crime in the
aggregate is greatly on the increase. Two causes have led
to the increased number—viz., the early discharge of the
Grand Jury during the last session, and the fact of the in-
terval between that and the present being an extra week,
which will be the case in some part of every quarter of
the year. It is painful to observe that the calendar con-
tains charges of a very grave description, and which sub-
ject the offenders either to forfeiture of life, or perpetual
banishment. The number of street robbers appear to in-
crease, but their apprehension is owing to the praiseworthy
alertness of the metropolitan police, and that number would
be much augmented, but for the indisposition of the injured
party to lose their time by attending to give evidence against
these juvenile plunderers of " Field-lane ducks," i. e.
pocket handkerchiefs. A summary power given to the
Magistrates, it is thought, would have a good effect, an
immediate and certain punishment being more terrible to
tithe thieves than a trial and chance of acquittal.
