LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, Knt.)
MOTIONS IN TAE COURT OP PROBATE.

In the administration of the estate of Colonel Gordon,
of Clunie, his Honour the Judge Ordinary said he could not
authorise the seal of thiss Court to be affixed to the decree of
confirmation of the Court in Scotland. On looking to the
Act of Parliament of last session, he was of opinion that the
confirmation of an executor was not a ministerial act but a
judicial act of Court, and he could not append the seal of
this Court to the decree of another Court. If the legatees
felt themselves aggrieved by this decision they might apply
to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus, and if that
Court ordered the seal of this Court to be appended, it
would be done. But he understood that there was at pre-
sent before Parliament a bill that would set the question at
rest.
Motion refused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH• STREET.

ROBBERY BY A CARMAN.—Thos. Staples, a carman in
the employ of Mr. Harris, potato salesman, of Covent-
garden, and having stores at the Great Northern Railway,
was charged with stealing two sacks of potatoes entrusted
to him to deliver to Mr. Garstang, potato salesman, of
Grafton-street, Newport-market.
Mr. Frederick Garstang, of 11, Grafton-street, said he
purchased two tons of potatoes of Mr. Harris, at the stores
at the Great Northern Railway, and the prisoner yester-
day brought him a load and presented him a ticket from
the railway. He asked how many sacks there were, and
the prisoner said 54. He asked if he was certain as to the
number, and he said he was. At that moment a female
came up, and said ho had stopped in Dudley-street, and
on his (prosecutor) counting the sacks in the van he found
only 52. The female told him she had seen him stop in
Dudley-street before, and thought it her duty to inform
him of it. The sacks contained 11 cwt. each, and if the
female had not informed him ho would not have found it
out. The prisoner was afterwards given in charge.
Ellen Brian, of 26, Dudley-street, said that one day in
the previous week she saw the prisoner stop his van, got
off, and wait at the corner of Dudley-street, when a man
came up and took away a sack. Having seen the same
thing occur before, and repeated yesterday, she informed
Mr. Garstang. •
Fenn, 27 F, said—ln taking prisoner into custody he said
the reason why he stopped his horso was because it
stumbled. He denied tho charge altogether.
Prisoner said there was no one beside himself with tho
van, and anybody could take anything off.
Remanded.
