THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WADILOVE.

This was an information arising out of the report of the

Charity CommiAsionitrs. The dilendahts were the repre-
sentatives of the late Dean of Ripon and Dr. Webber, the
present Dean and Master of the Hospital of St. John's,
at Ripon. The Hospital of St. John's was founded
in the year 1109, by the then Archbishop of York, and
consisted of a master and two sisters. The mastership had
for a long period of years always been held by the Deans
of Ripon, who the information alleged had appropriated to
their own use all the income and fines of the charity estate,
with the exception of 1/. Os. 7d., which was annually paid
to each of the sisters. The information prayed an account,
and a reference to the Master for a scheme.
His HONOUR said that the accounts must be taken
against Dr. Webber from the time of his appointment.

COMMON PLEAS-MONDAY.

CORNISII V. XEENE.

The Court was occupied the entire day with this case.
It was an action brought upon an infringement of a patent
originally obtained by Robert William Sievier, Esq., the
celebrated sculptor. It was for the manufacturity, Indian
rubber web, applicable for all surgical purposes as bandages
where pressure was requisite,. The specification of the
patent also embraced the manufacture of cloth of two de-
scriptions, a coarser kind for labouring men, whose elasticity
yielded to the motion of the body without tearing, inde-‘
pendently of possesshig great warmth ; and a finer kind
for the much-esteemed India rubber cloaks so much in ge-
neral use. The plaintiff's case was concluded to-day. At
the termination of the trial we will give a brief outline.

EXCHEQUER COURT-MONDAY.

LEWIS V. lIARTLEY.

This was an action of trover for the recovery of a New-
foundland dog, unlawfully detained by the defendant, an
inspector of police. The question was entirely one of
identity, about a dozen witnesses on each side swearing
with confidence to a knowledge of the animal under cir-
cumstances that rendered it impossible that both could
be accurate.

The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 101., and
also directed the restoration of the dog to the plaintiff.
The defendant, when applied to, refused to surrender
the dog.
Lord ABINGER said that the form of action gave no
power to compel the defendant to give up the dog : it was
for the Jury to find the value of the dog. If the dog was
given up by the defendant, the plaintiff could not have
damages.
The Jury then, after a deep deliberation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 201.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLER ONE.

Yesterday John Plluarion, a middle-aged man, wearing
a large silver medal, was placed at the bar before Messrs.
RAWLINSON and SHUTT, charged by Princess Mulea, the
wife of the Ambassador from the King of Oude in this
country, residing at North Bank, Regent's Park, with
stealing the sum of 2/.55., and also a silver table-spoon.
The Princess, who was in attendance, attired in the In-
dian style, her arms adorned with massive gold rings, was
accommodated with a seat near the Bench, but did not seem
to understand much of the English language.
Two young girls, named Luker and Lee, entered the
service of the Princess shortly after her arrival in this coun-
try, and besides themselves, as domestics, were two black
women and a black man-cook. About six weeks ago the
prisoner came to the house for relief, saying he should wish
to see one of the black servants, as he could speak their
language ; he was accordingly asked in, and subsequently
engaged by the Princess as an interpreter, and had since
reAided in the house. On Friday week last the prisoner
left, a day or two after which, the Princess gave them to
understand that he had kept 2/. ss.'she had given him to
pay a bill with, and that a table-spoon was missing, which
she bad no doubt he had stolen. That morning the pri-
soner came to the house, when the Princess gave him into
the custody of a policeman.
The prisoner left in consequence of the Princess wishing
him to procure- five young females for her to take over to
the King of Oude. That morning he went to settle his ac-
count with her, when he was charged with the robbery,
which he knew nothing of. The only English gentleman
who visited the Prince and Princess, arid who understood
their language, was Captain Grindley.
Mr. RAWLINSON knew Captain Grindley, and should
write to him on the subject ; at present there was no evi-
dence to detain him (the prisoner), and" he, was therefore
discharged.
