ROLLS COURT.
(Before Sir John Romilly.)
ItOORE V. MOORE.-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l am of opinion
that this legacy taken by the testatrix out of the residue of
her husband's property, being ono-third, was a specific gift
to hor, and that the application of it in the purchase of £6OO
Reduced Consols was a specific application of that part of
the residue. The £6OO Reduced Consols standing in her
own name, and transferred to her own use, I consider
io be an appropriation to her own use of that part of the
residue of the testator's property, and that she takes it ab-
solutely to that extent. It was so found in the case of Lee v.
Lee. The specific fund could not have been traced if she had
simply sold it out and mixed the price with her own money,
but she added it to the amount necessary to purchase the
£6OO 3 per Cent. Reduced Consols, and being a specific be-
quest the legatee must be entitled to take so much of the
share as will make up a third of the residuary estate, out of
the estate.
Costs out of the estate,

COURT OF CHAN CERY—DEc. 14.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
JUDGMENT.-APPEAL--MOULTON V. EDMONDS.
This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the
Rolls on his chief clerk's certificate holding that the
title, extending over sixty years, offered by the vendor
to the purchaser of the premises in question, was a good
and sufficient title to the property.
The Lord Chancellor was of the same opinion, and dis-
missed the appeal with costs.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
COOK V. STURGES.-PETITION BY ORDER.
This was a petition to transmit £1,500, surplus as-
sets, from the Insolvent Debtors' Court to the Accouu-
tant-General in this Court, pursuant to an order of Vice-
Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and Lords Justices on
appeals.
Mr. Malins, Q.C., supported the petition.
The money is in Console, in name of the Commissioners
of the Insolvent Debtors' Court.
Mr. Rogers, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Pellet, Q.C., and Mr.
L. Russell were heard in the cause.
The Lord Chancallor recommended a reference to
counsel.
Their Lordships dismissed the petition with costs, with-
out prejudice to the petitioner to make any other applica-
tion that may bo necessary.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood).
JUDGMENT-IN RE NEW ENGINE COAL MINING COMPANY.
Two questions arose in this case—lst, whether the com-
pany had undertaken to sink a pit in the Forest of Dean,
and work it with new machinery; and 2d, whether
the company had taken a sub-lease of the mines in
question.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that
the company by their agents had undertaken to sink a pit,
and had obtained a sub-lease under their agreement to
work the mines in question, and remitted to Chambers to
ascertain the expense of making the pit in pursuance of the
Judge's order, and the liability of the shareholders in re-
spect of such sub-lease.

Costs of the official manager to bo paid out of the
estate.

COURT OF BANICRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE ERNEST JONES.
This was a meeting for consideration of the tertificato of
this bankrupt, who is well known in the political world.
There was no opposition.
Mr. Murrough appeared to support, and attributed the
bankruptcy to the failure of a speculation—the Cabinet
newspaper—which would, no doubt, have been successful
had it not been for a malicious libel which was published.
That libel had excited great publio attention, and a sub-
scription was being raised and money was coming in fast
until the name appeared in the " Gazette." No creditor
opposed, but, on the contrary, all sympathised with the
bankrtipt. Ho (Mr. Murrough), therefore, asked for a
certificate of the first class.
His Honour said that he could only grant a certificate of
the second class.
Certificate of the second class accordingly.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
SIIWANTGALISM-" A CATAMARAN",---TRAINER V. NIABY,
Plaintiff is a domestic servant, and sought to recoVat
wages actually earned, a month's wages in lion of notice,
and board for a month. His Honour struck out the item
forlboard, and told plaintiff sbc could not recover that.
Mr. Beard (for defender ;,j said the wages actually earned
(I6s. Bd.) had been, wiftx costs, paid into court.
Plaintiff stated t,,iat in consequence of her having a few
words with thf, cook defendant summarily dismissed her.
Mr. Bel A—Did you not shako your fist in the cooks face?
Platatif—No.

_ -
lir. Beard—Did you not call her a cataran ? (Laughter.)
Plaintiff—Yes.
His Honour—The right name is Catamaran.
Plaintiff—l did not call her very bad names.
Mr. Beard then contended that plaintiff having grossly
misconduoted herself could not recover a month's wages.
The cook was called, and denied that sho provoked
plaintiff, who called her a very vulgar name.
Mr. Maby said he hoard of the quarrel, and sent plaintiff
away.

His Honour thought that plaintiff was entitled to a
month's notice. In all cases of quarrels with and between
servants, it was the duty of the master to have a strict in-
quiry. The cook might have been as much in the wrong
as the

Verdict for plaintiff for the wages in lieu of notice.
CHB LAW OF PAIV:NERSHIP.-NASA V. BOTWHIGHT.
This was as as7Alon to recover an amount for herrings
delivered to P. stall! in Billingsgate.
Mr. Br-chanan called the plaintiff, who said that one
Coop was in partnership with defendant, and had th o
g:Jods. Defendant had often paid parties for goods sup-
plied to Cooper. None of those parties were present.
Mr. Stammers, for defendant, elicited from plaintiff! that
defendant when asked for the money repudiated the trans.
action.

Botwright not being present, an adjournment was
granted; his Honour remarking that defendant ought to
be present.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

3IAItLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WAITER AT A TAVERN.—
Auguste Lasselin, a tall, respectable. looking foreigner,
living at-21, Warwick-street, was charged before Mr.
Bingham with the following savage assault on Alfred
Pepperell, waiter at the White Bear, Piccadilly
The complainant said that shortly after twelve overnight
he was ordered by his master to turn a female out who was
very noisy, when the defendant caught hold of his hand,
and thrusting one of his (complainant's) fingers into his
(defendant's) mouth, gnawed it for at least two minutes,
causing him great agony. A constable fortunately coming
up, ho was released from the defendant's hold.

_ .
Brown, 304 A, said he saw the defendant fly at tho com-
plainant like a tiger, and bite his finger. He was obliged
to throttle the defendant to make him loose his hold.
___

The defendant (in French) said, seeing the woman ill-
used he, like a man, interfered.
Mr. Bingham said—l believe you understand English,
and will take care to make you do so before you leave this
Court. You are charged with putting the finger of a
waiter into your mouth, and biting in the manner of a bull
dog or wild beast. The waiter was; putting out :a noisy
woman, which he had a right to do. The neat time you
interfere on behalf of a woman you fancy is ill-used, don't
use your teeth; and do not, at such a time of night, again
too readily interfere on behalf of women who frequent pub-
lic-houses at such a time.
Fined £3, or a month.

RETIREMENT OF ONE OF TUE CLERKS.—Mr. William
Bishop, who has for upwards of 40 years filled the office of
one of the magistrate's clerks at this court, has retired,
universally respected by all persona connected with the
court and by those having business to transact with him.
Mr. Edward Leigh, late third clerk at Bow-street, took his
place to-day for the first time at the clerk's table, being ap-
pointed to the vacancy created by Mr. Bishop's retirement.

SNOW BLOCKADE ON THE NORTH BRITISH RAlL-
WAY.—Edinburgh, Tuesday Evening, Since Sunday
morning there has been a complete blockade of the traffic
on the main line (Edinburgh and Berwick-on-Tweed) of
the North British Railway, arising from the drifting of the
snow into the heavy cuttings between Cookburnspath and
Innerwick. The snowstorm which took place at the end
of last week was felt with great severity in the smith-eastern
counties of Scotland, and especially on the coasts of Had-
dingtonshiro and Berwickshire. The consequence has been
that, while the inland branch of the North British Railway
has only been kept open with great difficulty, the traffic on
the coast line to the east of Dunbar has been brought to a
perfect stand-still. The stoppage of traffic on this lino is
unprecedented during its 13 years' existence, but we be-
lieve the snowstorm has been heavier and the drift more
severe than any that has boon experienced since the line
opened. For several miles along the line the snow is lying
from three to four feet deep, and at some points whore the
banks are high the drift deposit is a great deal deeper.
The morning train on Sunday (the evening express from
London) cleared its way with great difficulty, but the ordi-
nary train which followed stuck fast in the accumulating
drift. The line was again reported clear yesterday (Mon
day) morning, but two trains in succession attempted the
passage and stuck fast. The latter was the mail train, duo
here at 116, and, notwithstanding the efforts of three en-
gines attempting to plough through the snow, the obstruc-
tion could not be surmounted. The trains for Newcastle,
York, and London, leaving Edinburgh, have since been
despatched by the Kelso, or inland lino, which communi-
cates with Tweedmouth, and the down trains since yester-
day forenoon have come by the same route, though all
three or four hours late, owing to the great amount of snow
en the North-Eastern and North British lines. It is stated
that several trains are still embedded in the drift, the pas-
sengers and mail bags having been taken back to Berwick
and brought here via Kelso. For the present, the traffic on
the main line extends no further than Dunbar, but the
thaw that has occurred to- day will doubtless facilitate the
efforts being made to re-open the line.
