COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

KEMP V. NEVILLE-THE CAMBRIDGE PROCTOR'S CASE.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., made an application this morning
to the court to fix a day for the hearing of the arguments
on the cross rules that had been obtained in the two eases
Kemp v. Neville and Ebbon v. Neville.
The learned judge said it would be much better for the
counsel engaged to make some arrangement convenient to
all parties, and after that had been done the court could
give its assent to such if it met with its approval.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.)
SHEDDON V. PATRICK AND THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
Miss Sheddon in person, applied for leave to file certain
papers to enable counsel to move to-morrow for the post-
ponement of the motion for a re-hearing of this case.
The learned judge said there was no necessity for an?
motion for such a purpose, the full court who heard the
case would sit on Monday next, when the motion for the
re-hearing might be made or not as the applicant pleased,
it would be competent then either to make an application
for a postponement or leave the matter where it was.
Miss Sheddon said she was accidentally too late 'eater*
day to lodge the papers for the motion for a postponement
to-morrow, and she wished to ask his lordship who eh*
ought to cite as Mr. William Patrick has since died.

The learned judge said he should give no advice on any
such a question.

Miss Sheddon said her object was that counsel should
make the motion to-morrow, who would then make it more
ably than she could.

Tho learned judge said, she might rely upon it that no
counsel, however clever he might be would extract any ex-
pression of an opinion out of him ; he had already said the
proper time would be to make any application on Monday
befot e the full Court.
Miss Shedden then withdrew.

POLICE .INTBLLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING AN ARTIST AND RIFLE VOLUNTEER:WM
Brennan, an artful-looking fellow, was charged before Mr•
Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr•
Thomas John Gullick, artist and author, and also a mem-
ber of the Queen's Westminster Rifle Volunteers, residing
at 59, Berners-street, Oxford-street.

Mr. Gullick said that about four the previous afternoon,
while the volunteers were marching. he was standing in 11
doorway in Oxford. street, opposite Wardour-street, when a
rush was made towards him, and as he had been once before
robbed while going through Temple Bar under similar cir-
cumstanees, he at once looked to his watch, and found the
prisoner's hand on his chain, the watch being nearly out of
his pocket. At that moment he was hustled by three or
four fellows and he then seized the prisoner. A lady, who
was now in court, also complained that she had lost her
watch at the same time, and that she believed one of the
prisoner's companions had got it, but that he had escaped.
These cases were now becoming most annoying, and being
a volunteer himself, and these robberies always taking
place while they were marching, he felt still more annoyed
at it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he wished the thieves would always
meet with people as prompt as prosecutor.
A young man employed at a eheesemonger's in Berner.
street, gave corroborative evidence. _ _

A constable said he found a watch up the prisoner's
sleeve, and which the prisoner tried to dispose of on the
way is the station.
The prisoner, who is known, was remanded.
