VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR proceeded with mo-
tions to-day.

HEATH V. ROGERS AND COX.

Mr. JACOB in this case appeared for the defendants,
who were the two administrators of a testator of the name
of Brindley, who in his life-time, owed a sum of money to
the,plaintiff, to whom he gave two warrants of attorney to
secure the debt. The plaintiff, in the life-time of Brind-
ley, never entered up judgment, or took -out execution
against Brindley's property, and thereby the Learned Coun-
sel contended he had lost his remedy upon the warrants of
attorney. The plaintiff, however, after the death of Brind-
ley, entered up judgment, took out execution, and attached
the personal property of Brindley, at well as his one-
third share of a partnership which had been carried
on between Brindley and two other persons: That pro-
perty was sold, and produced nearly 2,0001. The defendants
took out administration, and then application was made to
the Court of King's Bench to set aside the judgment on the
warrant of attorney, on the ground of its being irregular, it
having been entered up after the death of the party. A rule
Nisi was granted, which was afterwards made absolute,
setting aside the judgment and execution, and an order was
made upon the plaintiff calling upon him to pay the 2,0001.
be had in hand over the administrators. The plaintiff then
filed his bill for equitable relief, and obtained an order
for an injunction, upon the condition that he paid the
money into Court, restraining the defendants from enforcing
the order of the Court of King's Bench. The plaintiff had
refused to pay the money into Court, and the defendants
now applied either to have the conditional order discharged,
or that the plaintiff might be compelled to pay the money in.

His HONOUR ordered the conditional order to be dis-
charged, reserving the consideration of the costs.
The COURT having disposed of all the old motions, with the
exception of one or two that stood specially appointed for
future days, and others that could not be made in consequence
of the absence of counsel, rose shortly after twelve o'clock.
A patent case, of Price v. Barratt, is specially appointed
for to-morrow, and if it should not occupy the whole day,
his Honour will proceed with the cause petitions.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

George Williams was indicted for a burglary in the house.
of John Rawlett, and stealing therein a purse, containing
four sovereigns, and a piece of pudding, his property.
From the evidence, it appeared that the prosecutor and
his wife occupied the rooms over a stable in Manchester
Mews, Marylebone. On Saturday, the 19th of September,
the wife deposited the purse containing the money in a
chest. On the following day she went out, and secured
the door after them ; and on their return they found the
door partly open, and on searching she discovered that the
purse had been taken away, as well as a piece of pudding,
which had been left in the safe. On making inquiries into
the matter, it was discovered that the prisoner had been
seen leaving the Mews at eight o'clock in the evening, after
which he called upon one of his companions, to whom
he showed a sovereign, and gave a bit of pudding.
They afterwards went together to several shops,
where the prisoner purchased a variety of articles. On the
following morning they went to see the Thames Tunnel,
and to the Surrey Theatre in the evening, for all of which
places the prisoner paid. On going home, the prisoner
was seen to throw a purse over Westminster Bridge, hav-
ing first put a stone in it to sink it. The prisoner was sub-
sequently taken into custody, and then did not deny the
robbery, but said he had none of the money left.
The prisoner, in his defence, declared that his companion,
who had given evidence against him, had induced him to
commit the robbery, and bad shared in the booty.
Mr. Justice VAUGHAN having summed up, the Jury
found the prisoner guilty of stealing, and acquitted him of
the burglary.
