LAW IIV TELLIGBNCE.—( This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
FOWLES V. THE NATIONAL GUARDIAN ASSURANCE

SOCIETY.

This was an appeal from a decision of Vice. Chancellor
Sir John Stuart in favour of the plaintiffs. The plaintiff
filed his bill for specific performance of guarantee of insur-
ance and transfer of a life policy of assurance to the
Manchester Commissioners of Assessed Taxes for the
faithful discharge of the duties of their late collector, Mr.
John Roberts, and to recover his defalcations in that
office.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
were of opinion that the guarantee was void by the misre-
presentations and false answers made and returned to the
written inquiries and questions put relative to the duties of
the office of collector; and that the life policy was also
void, in respect that the premium was not regularly paid.
Their lordships reversed the decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and dismissed the appeal and bill, without costs.

POLICE iNTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH. STREET.

ASSAULTS.—Two young men of respectable appearance,
George and Charles Crook, of 6, Carnaby-street, were
charged with committing unprovoked assaults on two
young men named George Bull and john Cordy, the for-
mer a varnish maker, of 15, Paris-street, Lambeth, and the
latter a greengrocer, of Ship-lane, Kennington.
The case having been proved against the defendant
Charles, he was fined 30s. or 14 days.
THE PESTS OP KENSINGTON-GARDENS AND THE
PARKS.—Thomas Saunders, a low-looking fellow, was
charged with disgraceful conduct in Kensington-gardens.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought it a good opportunity of
letting such fellows know what the magistrates meant to do
in such cases. Heaven only knew on what principle these
fellows went to such places, but they did go there. He
should send the prisoner for six months—namely, three
months for each offence.

Many complaints are made of fellows of prisoner's descrip-
tion lurking in the parks.

THAMES.

TIIE SAILOR AND HIS NUGGET OP GOLD.—Mary Ann
Clark and Sarah Vickers, two women of the town, and
dwelling in that very notorious place, Glesshouse•street,
Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, where sailors have been
"taken in and done for" many years, were brought beforo
Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a nugget of Austra-
lian gold, value £l4, from the person of a sailor named
John Welch.

It appeared that the sailor, who is dwelling at Green's
Sailors' Home, Poplar, had lately arrived, and he was met
by the prisoners who were on the look-out for homeward
bounders. The sailor, who admitted he was three sheets
in the wind when he met " them ere ladies," treated
them with lots of grog, and at a late hour on the
previous night took him to a well-known den of infamy in
Glasshouse-street. He had money, and Vickers soon left
him. He turned into bed, and was soon fast asleep. On
awaking he found himself alone in a dark and dirty room,
and missed his trousers. He found another pair had been
substituted for them. In the pocket of his own trousers
there was a nugget of gold wrapped up in a bit of rag and
some paper. It was in his pocket when he entered the
house. The sailor made a good deal of noise about the loss
of his nugget, and called upon the police to interfere. A
constable of the H division, named Billings, entered the
house, and recovered the trousers, which were given to him
by the prisoner Clarke, who took them from under her
bed. The nugget was gone. From inquiries made by
Billings it appeared that the prisoners had paid a visit to a
Jew dealer in the neighbourhood, and it was supposed he
had bought the nugget, though on being questioned he
denied all knowledge of it.

In answer to questions by Mr. Woolrych, the sailor said
that Clarke came to his bedside and awoke him and told
him to turn out, because he had no money. He thenmisesd
his trousers and nugget.

Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was a foolish fellow to
get into bad company with a nugget of gold in his posses-
sion. He remanded the prisoners for a week, and said he
would accept bail.

THIRD EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The report of the existence of considerable agita,
Lion in the Principalities is confirmed. A disturb-
ance has taken place at Bucharest among the sol-
diers of the artillery. The palace of Prince Couza
was set fire to several times, but on each occasion
the flames were extinguished before they had made
any progress, but the incendiaries have not yet
been arrested. These disturbances appear to be
connected with those which broke out at Ismail and
at Bolgrade, and not Belgrade, as erroneously given
by the telegram. Prince Couza has returned to
Bucharest to be present at the approaching close of
the Chambers.
