• • ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Dmilly.)
JUDGMENT.-ADAMS V. FENWICK.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—Tie question
for decision in this case is, whether certain e.ll s , which
were made on some new shares in the Union Bak of Aus-
tralia, were payable out of the property speifically be.
queathed by the testatrix, or payable by the specific legatees
of these shares, or payable out of 'the general aresiduary
funds of the estate. It appeared that the diretors of the
bank had agreed to extend the capital of the balk to about
one million, in shares of £25 each. About 50 of these
new shares were allotted to the testatrt, and she
paid up.the calls till her death. And in her trill and codi-
cils she directed her executors to continue tle payments
afterwards. She divided the shares into spoific propor-
tions, and bequeathed them to legatees nomoutum. And
the question raised was whether the executor' or legatees
should pay the calls upon these shares, and receive the
dividends due thereon.

His Honour detailed very minutely the prceedings of
the directors at their several meetings, and thc resolutions
come to respecting the issue of the new share; and after
considering several clauses of the bequest the testa-
tor's will, and referring to the case of Armstrong and
Peacock as a case in point, came to th‘ conclusion
that the calls or payment of the instalments won the new
shares, of which due notice wts given, ought 1.3 be paid by
the legatees, and should not come out of am general or
residuary estate of the testatrix, and declared recordingly.
His Honour directed the costs to be taxel as between
party and party and solicitor and client, and to bring the
matter again before the Court.
His Honour requested affidavits of the marriedlady legatees
in Calcutta in England to be produced, to show that they
had not disposed of any of their shares by ma.-riage settle-
ments or otherwise; the minutes to be arraigned by the
registrar, with liberty to apply.

WHITECITAPEL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Manning.)

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS---SINGULAR. CASE-CMIEN V.

ANEMIA.
This was an action to recover £4 alleged to have been lent
to defendant by plaintiff.
Mr. Young appeared for the plaintiff, late collector of the
Relief :or the Aged and Destitute Charitable Institution,
and Mr. Warrand, of Basinghall-street, for the defendant,
the president and founder of the same institution.
The peculiar features of this case are that the plaintiff
declares he lent defendant £4 out of the funds in his hands
belonging to the charity. It was about the 13th or 14th of
October last, and plaintiff had since made good the sum
from his own funds.

In cross-examination by Mr. Warrand, he admitted that
he had still in his possession the books and money of the
charity, and that he was dismissed. At two committee
meetings he won prcoont with dafondant, but when he was
about to ask for the Li he was cried down.

A Mr. Levi was present, who upon being called, said he
remembered the money being lent.
Mr. Warrand said this was one of the most scandalous
attempts ever brought wider the notice of his Honour. The
facts were that the plaintiff was so lax in his returns of tho
collected moneys that defendant, as president, called upon
him to insist upon his paying in all moneys. That was in
October, and then plaintiff handed over £4, which sum
defendant had paid to the treasurer in due course. In
consequence of the dissatisfaction expressed at plaintiff's
conduct, he had been dismissed, and hence the present
action.

To support this statement, defendant and the treasurer
were called, and both distinctly swore that such was the
case. The treasurer said that Mr. Ansell had in October
and November respectively handed him two sums of £4
each as moneys received from plaintiff, being collections.
Upon this plaintiff produced receipts for £8 odd and £7 odd
in October and November ; and the treasurer said he (plain-
tiff) had paid those amounts at the dates of the receipts, less
the £4 paid by defendant.
His Honour said there was oath against oath, and he
did not see any evidence to prove that defendant borrowed
the money.
Verdict for defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY OF A MERCHANT'S WATCH.—Anne
Clark, a prostitute, was charged with stealing a gold Watch
of the value of £lO, in a very daring manner, from the per-
son of Thomas Bold, of the Conservative Club, and Can-
ning-street, Liverpool.
The prosecutor said he was about to enter the house
where he was at present staying, in King-street, St. James's,
when the prisoner came up to him and accosted him, and
thrust herself into the doorway, pressing him to take her
into the house with .him. He refused, and at that
moment felt a twitch at his watch chain, and
immediately observed her pass something to a man, who
directly started olf. He then, to detain her, pushed her
into the passage and gave an alarm. He then felt in his
pocket, and his watch was gone, the chain hanging down.
He taxed her with stealing it, but she denied having done
so.

James, 17 Cl proceed taking the prisoner into custody.
She donied having taken the watch, and at the station on
searching her it was not found.
Mr Inspector Steer, of the C division, asked for a re-
mand as she was known to the police.
Mr. Bingham said if she thought proper to plead guilty
he would deal with the case at once.

The prisoner said the prosecutor had been speaking to
two other females. Sho would not plead guilty as she was
innocent.

The prisoner was then committed for trial, the prosecutor
rather reluctantly being bound over to prosecute.

THAMES.

JEALOUSY AND ATTEMTED MURDER.—Jane Prince,
aged 27, and described as a bookbinder, was brought before
Mr. Yardley charged with being disorderly in the house of
George Bindley, a vocalist, of No. 13, Vine-court, White-
chapel, andl attempting to inflict grevious bodily harm
upon him with a razor.
It appeared from the evidence that the parties had lived
together for some time, and they parted about five months
ago. The priaoner had since attempted to rnnnw thn
acquaintance, but the complainant had refused any further
intercourse with her She had repeatedly met him, and
attempted to force him to live with her again, but in vain.
She met him once with a female and vowed revenge.
Last Tuesday they met, and she attempted to strike
him with a tea cup, on which he struck her with
his fist on the face, and, to use her own phrase,
" smashed it." Yesterday evening the prisoner
went to the shop of Mr. William Rims, a cutler, in High-
street, Whitechapel, and bought a new razor, for which she
gave him ls. Mr. Rims observed it was rather unusual for
a young woman to buy razors. She smiled and said
nothing. The prisoner then repaired to the house of her
former paramour, and knocked at the door. He lifted up
the window and said he would have nothing to do with her.
She continued knocking at the door for some time, and at
last Bradley sent for a police-constable to take her away.
The prisoner rushed into the house as the man opened the
door, attacked Bradley with the razor, and declared she
would murder him. He seized the razor with his hands
and took it from her, but not before his hands were severely
cut. At the station-house she told Inspector Dendy that
she bought the razor for the purpose of murdering Bradley,
and that she would at one time or other effect her purpose.
This morning she told Anderson, a police-constable, that
she wished she had done for Bradley.
The prisoner said in her defence that she was drinking
yesterday, and got excited.

Mr. Yardley2Lßut you were not excited this morning.
John Montague, a photographic artist, said the prisoner
was his sister-In-law, and that a man, with whom she tor-
merly cohabited, who was a singer at the Phoenix Concert-
room, allowed her 3s. per week, and Bradley persuaded her
to leave him.
Bradley denied this statement. He never had 3s. per
week with her, and when her former paramour claimed her,
he (Bradley) persuaded her to return to him. He did not wish
to punish the prisoner—only to have protection.
Mr. Yardley said inquiries were to be made about the
prisoner, and remanded her until to-morrow.
