ROLLS' COURT, FEB. 18.

HANCOCK V. TEAGUE.

This was a bill filed for the purpose of having
an account taken of the plaintiff's interest in certain
shares in a mining association, which in 1817 had
been formed for working a district in Cornwall. It
appeared that four individuals, the defendant being
one of them, having determined to take on lease
the dis:rict, comprising four different mines, known
under the appellation of Wheals, issued a prospectus
in contemplation of the adventure, for sale of shares,
to those who should be willing to participate in the
'peculation; and the plaintiff, being resident in
I.i4ndon, arid a friend of Teague's, agreed to accept
of ten, which it was arranged should remain in the
defendant's name. The lease having subsequently
bee❑ granted, the adventure vtas carried on, un-
successfully, however, except in one mine. In the
mean time the plaintiff became insolvent, and
his assigni-es being desirous to have his interest in
this speculation disposed of, re-assigned to him his
title, in order to enable him to institute this proceed-
ing. Oa the part of the defendant it was alleged
that Hancock had bein entitled to a share in one
particular mine only, called Wheal Harmony, and
not to a general interest in the whole concern, which,
it was contended, was proved by the fact that in
communicating with his assignees, the plaintiff had
represented his interest as being confined to the
Harmony mine alone.

His HONOUR directed the account prayed for by
the bill.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. IS.

The eternal me of " Small v. Attwood," with
the particulars of which the public are by this time
fully acquainted, came on again on Saturday, before
Lord LYNDHURST, but %Ns's not brought to a termi-
ndtion. The case possesses little or no interest
except to the parties concerned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-I/O USE.

Mr. Lawrence, a gentleman residing in the neigh-
bourhood of Hoxton, waited upon the LORD MAYOR
to !pate, that in consequence of the publicity which
a suoposed ca•e of cholera had obtained through the
public prints, he had deemed it his duty to investi-
gate the matter, and the result was that he !had
clearly ascertained no grounds exited for presuming,
as had been the case, that the man had been at-
tacked with Asiatic cholera. He had even found

that Mr. Hunt, in the House of Commons, had
alluded to it as a case of true cholera, and had
brought it forward as evidence of the necessity for
the immediate establishment of public receptacles.
Now the truth of the matter was this. The man
hail, for the last 16 years, been subject to violent
attacks of spasm or cramp in the stomach, and for
this complaint he had been three or four times in St.
Bartholomew's Hospital. For the last few days
previous to the attack from his old complaint in Pit-
field-street, he had been suffering wader the incipient
symptoms, insomuch that he been unable to go to
his ork. On the morning in tpiestion he had been
seized with a slid ht attack of cramp, and had stepped
into a baker's shop, where he got a glass of brandy.
He was afterwards more violently attacked, arid
taken off to St. Bartholomew's H .spital, where the
surgeons pronounced his case to be the true Asiatic
cholera, and they in consequence sent him to the
Lord Mayor's house in Abehurch-lane, from whence
he was sent to the Surrey D spensarv, the surgean
there agreeing in the opinion that it was true Asiatic
cholera, although the man had lost 18 ounces of
blood from bleeding, and one of the principal symp-
toms of cholera being stagnation of blood. In fact,
he could prove, by reference to persona who had
known the man, that all the appearances, such as
becoming livid and speechless, which were pro-
nounced by the surgeons as infallible indications of
the Asiatic cholera, had invariably attended the at-
tacks of spasm which he had undergone for the last
sixteen years. He begged, however, to state his
surprise that the man had been refused admission in
Abchurch-lane, where there was a place expressly
prov ded for such cases. There were subscriptions
for the purpose of providing such places, and he
considered that the public would have an impression,
from the fact of a case being refused, that the city
wished to monopolize the benefits, in place of ex-
tending relief all over the metropolis.
The LORD MAYOR had certainly given up his
house in Abchurch-larie for the purpose of receiving
cholera cas s, but he begged it most distinctly to be
understood that he never contemplated receiving
indiscriminate applications. His premises were only
to be devoted to the reception of those attacked in
the immediate neighbourhood. He regretted that
the man should have been sent about from place to
piaci-, but he considered the surgeons at Sr. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital were most to blame. With re-
spect to the funds sub-cribed, he begged to state that
he considered money obtained at the :Mansion-house
was more particularly applicable to city precautions.
If the other parts of the metropolis required recep-
tacles, there were plenty of affluent men who ought
to come forward and provide them.

barlotte Wilson, a miserable looking young girl,
aged 19, was charged with having broken a pane of
glass value 21., in the shop of Mr. Rawlins,
Minories, for the purpose of committing a trang
felony. It was evident that the girl's object was to
csmmit an offence whereby she could relieve her
destitute situation by transportation, as she made
no attempt to escape. She was taken to the Otd
Bidcy immediately, as the Grand Jury were not
discharged.

As the LORD 51Avort was about to quit the office a dark
dirty little Jew, not much bi4,ger than a full-grown mon-
key, bustled into the room in a state of ludicrous excite-
ment, and, add, essing his Lordship with vehemence, said
" I go in danger of rny hf', mark that ; I want a sum-
mons against my chum, whom I intend to murder if I
don't get justice. I have been insulted by him—l have
been called this morning a little black son of a female dog
by him. Now nay attention, "It I take a knife and cut
him over the face, what will he the consequence?"
Mr. Holder—Why, you'll commit a felony, and probably
get hung.
Applicant—Hung ! I don't care if Ido get hung. I've
got a knife in my pocket, and I'll do hi» business with it.
LORD MAYOR—Has he assaulted you. Applicant—
Yes, he has, and I'm determined to murder him. Here's
my knife (pulling out a large deep knife), and if this
won't do, I've got the poker in my pocket.—This was ac-
tually the case, as the handle was observed protruding
from his pocket.

LORD MAI-oft—Well, go and consult Forrester ; he'll
tell you whit to do.
Applicant—Oh ! I see how it iv ; here's bribery and
corruption, and wherever there is such things the long,
purse is wily of use. I don't care if Fin starved to death
—and that's worse than being hung—but I'll murder my
chum.

The applicant, wltose meagre appearance seemed to bear
witness to the accuracy of his remark respectine starva-
tion, left the room in company with one of the officers.

WORSHIP.
e rnin a
STREET.
A man named
years of age, and his wife, apparently about fifty
somewha'
i porter,
older, were charged with having murdered his
mother, who resided with them, in Warwick-court,
hirecrois-street.
On Thursday he obtained an order from the
churchwardens of St. Luke's for the interment of
his mother, who had been dead a week. Suspicion
being excited as to the mariner in which the tie-
ceased had come by her death, Mr. Brooks, the
parish surgeon, inspected the body, and in eons, -
quence both the prisoners were apprehended, and
on Saturday a long examination to.tk place.
Graven, a Worship-street officer, on going to
the house, found the deceased placed in a coffin,
inn there were several marks of severe injuries
*bout the head and face.
Various female neighbours of the prisoners on the
night of Wednesday week, heard quarrelling at the
res,dence of the prisoners, and a cry of " Murder."
