LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.
(Before Sir W. P. Wood.)
GY] V. GRAZIANI.

The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. It
was fully reported in The Sun when Mr. Gye obtained an
interim injunction to prevent Graziani from singing at
Drury-lane Theatre, in opposition to an agreement that
plaintiff maintained he had entered into with him for the
seasons 1860 and '6l, at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-
garden. The bill filed by plaintiff prays for a decree to
compel Graziani to carry out the contract.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
The Vice-Chancellor delivered judgment. His Honour
directed the injunction to be granted on defendant consent-
ing to perform the agreement on his part, plaintiff consent-
ing to abandon the provisions in the contract for 1861, and
the provision that the defendant shall not sing within the
liberties of London without the plaintiff's consent. Costs
to follow the result of the suit.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY AT LADY CAROLINE NEELD'S

—FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.—Henry Bennett, a rough-
looking fellow, described as a coachmaker, was charged as
follows :

William Huggin, coachman to Lady Caroline Neeld,
said he lived over the stables at the back of the house of
her ladyship, 26, Upper Brook-street, and that morning,
shortly before five, while looking out of his window, which
commanded a view of her ladyship's drawing room, he saw
the prisoner on the leads examining the fastenings of the
different windows, and afterwards go down the area. He
went into Park-lane and called a constable to him, but saw
no more of him till at the station in Vine-street.

Wheatley, 175 C, said hearing an alarm of thieves be got
over the garden wall at the back of 26, Upper Brook-street,
and with another constable heard footsteps up to No. 16.
He got into the area of No. 16, and passed through the
kitchen and a passage leading to the front area, and came
to a closed door, and on opening it saw the prisoner on the
area steps, the gate being locked at the time. He asked
the prisoner what he'did there, when he said " He got over
to sit down, as he was tired." He then took him into cus-
tody with assistance of another constable. (The prisoner
being a desperate-looking fellow, was brought to the court
handcuffed.)

Thomas Johnson, butler to Richard Monckton Miles,
M.P., of 16, Upper Brook-street, said he fastened the area
door previous to going to bed, but the door leading to the
leads was not fastened, and never was.
Mr. Beadon said he would recommend that for the future
it should be.-

The witness said the prisoner must have unfastened some
of the doors to get into the area.

Sergeant Teater said he had compared the foot marks in
the gardens of several houses from 29 to 16 Upper Brook-
street. He also found that an attempt had been made to
effect an entry at the window of No. 29, and in the garden
he found a hammer, the marks on the window exactly cor-
responding with the claws of it. After the prisoner was
taken to the station he took off one of his boots, and care-
fully tried it with the foot-marks, and there was no doubt
the marks were made by the prisoner's boot.
Mr. Inspector Webb, of the C division, who has charge
of the case, was directed by Mr. Beadon to pursue the in-
quiry, and the prisoner was remanded for a week.
The prisoner is believed to be one of a gang of desperate
burglars.
