LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
APPEAL 2ETITIONS.-MACGREGOR V. Nf.iCGREGOIit.

This is an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor, Sir
John Stuart, declaring that the grandchildren of the tes-
tator took a vested interest under the testator's will as
tenants in common. The appellant (a grandchild) claimed
as joint tenant. The testator, by his will in 1817, be-
queathed his personal estate to his son, James Mac-
gregor and his children, with gift ever to trustees
of the shares of children predeceasing to children
surviving. He had fourteen children—one only now
survives. The testator died in 1829, leaving grandchildren
and great grandchildren, and the contention is whether the
grandchildren took a vested limited interest in the gift of
his personal estate as joint tenants—or whether there was
a transmissable interest as tenants in common to the great
grandchildren.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both
sides the Lord Chancellor said he would give judgment in
a few days.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Watson,
Bramwell, and Channell.)
GILL V. WRIGHT.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., stowed for a non-suit in this cause,
which was tried at the last assizes held at Lewes, and was
well known as " The Brighton Scandal Case." Mrs. Gill,
the plaintiff, kept a ladies' school at Brighton, and rumours
became very prevalent that through her negligence her
young ladies had been subject to the improper visits of
gentlemen. The defendant was the wife of a gentleman
residing in the town, and it was shown that she was one of
those who had propagated the rumour complained of, and
for which there was not a shadow of foundation. He con-
tended that no special damage had been proved, and that
special damage would be necessary to the maintenance of
the action. The plaintiff obtained a verdict.
The Court deferred judgment.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Lord Ordinary.)
PIERCE V. LITTLE.

This was an application for the probate of a will. The
testator at the time of his death was worth somewhere
about £l,lOO, £5OO of which he devised to his wife and
children, if any, and the remainder amongst his relatives.
The testator committed suicide, and the will was disputed
on the ground that at the time it was made the testator
was of unsound mind. Three witnesses were examined this
morning, including the medical attendant of the testator,
who gave evidence to the effect that the testator was in a
perfectly sane state of mind a short time previous to his
ieath.

The Judge Ordinary was satisfied with the evidence and
decreed probate accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT BY A GENTLEILAN.—MT. William Williams,
a gentleman staying at the Globe Tavern, Bow. street, was
charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Sergeant
Jeuter, 4 C, by throwing a heavy drinking glass and cut-
ting him rather severely under the eye.
Sergeat Jeuter, 4 C, said at five this morning he saw the
gentleman enter a coffee-house in Castle-street, Leicester-
square, and he had not been there a minute before he heard
a cry of " Police," and on going there found the gentleman
quarrelling with another. The gentleman then flung a
heavy drinking-glass, which cut him (Sergeant Jeuter)
under the eye, causing the blood to flow. He thought the
gentleman meant it for some one else and not for him.
Mr. Bingham said it was fortunate the blow was no worse
—it might have been attended with great danger.
Defendant said he had not the slightest intention of hurt-
ing any one ; ho had taken too much wine.
Mr. Bingham said he would make all allowance for what
the constable had said, that he did not think it was meant
for him, but the wound was so dangerous that he must
smart for it, and pay £5 or a month.
CITY FAWKES' DAY.—Four boys, named James Valance,
Wm. Coles, Geo. Robertson, and John Melville, were
charged by Sergeant Field with discharging fireworks on
Saturday evening in the public streets.
After an admonition and caution from the magistrate,
they were fined 2s. 6d. each.
