LAW INTELLIGENCE.-,

(THIS IJAY:S

HOUSE OF LORDS.

(Peers present, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Crariworth
Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingsdown, and other peers.)

APPEAL --- jUDGEMNT SLINGSBY V. GRAT,r, GER AND

°TILERS.

This cause came on.to be considered this morning. The
only question raised ix this appeal was as to the true con-
struction of the will of the late Miss Catherine Fox, of
Montague-place, Bedford-square, in the county of
Middlesex, deceased. The will was dated. 21st February,
1837. She appointed her brother, the late Edward
Pickley Fox, Esq., her executor, and after bequeathing
her real property, and giving a legacy of £6O a year, the
will proceeds as follows :—" I leave everything that I may
die possessed of at the time of my death to him, and if he
marry, and have children, to these children after his death ;
but, if a bachelor, I leave all my fortune now standing in
the Funds to him ; and, if he die a bachelor, to Emma
Slingsby, my god-daughter." The question raised was
whether the word " Funds " included money which the
testatrix had invested in "Bank Stock," to the amount of
£5,933 6s. Bd. The testatrix's brother died unmarried.
Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart held that the bequest
of " Funds " meant Government Funds only, and did
not include " Bank Stock." The Lords Justices of
Appeal affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chancellor with
costs, and the appellant appealed. The cause was argued
before their lordships several days, and stood over for judg-
ment.

The Lord Chancellor said that whatever doubts he might
entertain on the case they would signify nothing, as he
understood three of the noble and learned lords present were
of opinion that the decision of the Court of Chancery should
be affirmed. His lordship regretted he was bound to come
to this conclusion.

Lord Cranworth said that to entertain doubts of the
propriety of a decision was no ground for reversing it. The
reversal must proceed upon legal and reasonable grounds,
and it did not decide any general principle ; and looking at
the terms of the bequest, he was satisfied that the decision
of the Court below was right, and ought to be affirmed, but
without costs.

Lord Wensleydale and Lord Kingsdown were entirely of
the same opinion.
The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court
of Chancery, and dismissed the appeal without costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A NEws-Bor.—George Darcey, an im-
pudent boy of 14, was charged with robbing his employer
under the following circumstances :

Mr. Wm. Hawes, stationer and news-agent, of 47, Great
Portland-street, said the prisoner had been in his employ
about six weeks as errand boy, and on Monday last he gave
him 14s. Id. to take to Messrs. Smith and Co., news-agents
of the Strand, to pay for'papers and the insertion of an ad-
vertisement, telling the prisoner to meet him as usual in
Catherine-street, Strand, but he did not do so, and ab-
sconded, not having paid the money as he was ordered to
do.

A constable said on taking prisoner into custody and
telling him he was charged with robbing his master, he said
he knew he had.

Mr. Hawes said on Saturday week the boy was charged
with another at Marylebone, with assaulting a man and
fined, and he (prosecutor) thinking it was only a boyish
trick paid the fine, but he had since ascertained he was a
very bad character.

The prisoner admitted his guilt and was sentenced to
,hree months imprisonment.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

GREENWICH.

It is understood that Lieut.-General Sir William
Codrington will resign his seat immediately after
the division on the Government Reform Bill. At
present the only candidate in the field is, Mr. W.
• Angerstein, of 131ackheath, who was defeated by
Alderman Salomons at the recent election, and whose
committees have been re-organised. Amongst the
candidates spoken of are Mr. 11. Lowman Taylor, a
lumber ofthe Common Council of the City of London,
and an elector of the boroUgh, and Mr. Campbell, the
rejected of Harwich. Mr. M. Chambers has been
solicited to become a candidate by various deputa-
tions of the electors ; but he has definitely declined
the invitation, although it is stated that he will
enter the field in the event of a general election.
The Conservative party in the borough confidently
assert that Mr. Angerstein will be opposed by a
supporter of the present Government, whose address
to the electors will shortly appear.

NOTTINGHAM.—On Tuesday a meeting of the
Liberals of this town was held in one of the Ex-
change rooms. Mr. Alderman Cullen presided,
and amongst those present were Alderman Hey-
mann (the ex-mayor), Aldermen Herbert, Virtue,
Knight ; Councillors West, Sweet, Thackeray,
Mundella, &c. The meeting was called for the
purpose of fixing upon a proper person to represent
the town (in the event of a dissolution of Parlia-
ment) in the place of Mr. Walter. The names
mentioned were Mr. Miall, Mr. Nicholls, of Man -
chester, Mr. George Moore, Mr. Mellor, Q.C., acd
Mr. Samuel Morley. The show of hands fell upon
Mr. Moore, but an objection was raised by Mr.
Councillor Sweet, that Mr. Moore was unfavourable
to the ballot. This was denied by some of the meet-
ing, and it was resolved to communicate with Mr.
Moore, asking his opinions upon that question, and
if favourable, his permission to be put in nomina-
tion for the borough 'a the next election. The
meeting were almost unanimous that any candidate
must be a thorough ballot man. Upon the receipt
of Mr. Moore's reply another meeting of the Liberal
party is to be held in the large room.
WEST SUFFOLK.—There are now two candidates
for the honour of representing West Suffolk in
the room of the present member, Mr. H. S. Wad-
dington, who is about to retire. We have already
stated that Earl Jermyn has issued an address.
He declares himself a Conservative both in feeling
and action. He is opposed to the total abolition
of church rates, unless some provision is made
for the maintenance of the fabrics of churches. In
reference to Parliamentary Reform, he considers
the measure of the Government worthy of support.
With regard to foreign affairs, he is not " dis-
posed to abdicate that place in the councils of
Europe which the great wealth, power, and in-
terests of Great Britain so justly entitle her to
occupy ;" and he desires to see the naval and
military resources of the country kept in a state of
perfect efficiency, though the utmost economy
should be observed in this respect. The other can-
didate is Major Windsor Parker. He has issued an
address, in which he states he is a Conservative,
but he is less explicit in the expression of his
political opinions than Earl Jermyn.
CAMBRIDGE.—We regret to state that Colonel
Adair has severed himself from Cambridge. The
Radical party have selected Mr. Mowatt, formerly
M.P. for the, borough with Colonel Adair ; and
there is manifested every disposition on the part of
the extreme sections to support the gallant Colonel,
but conditionally that he would coalesce with .Mr.
Mowatt. Two meetings of the Liberal party have
been held ; at the first Mr. Mowatt was present,
and expressed a desire to join with his former
colleague. Colonel Adair came down on Friday
night, and at a meeting of the Liberals convened
for the occasion, persisted in a determination already
expressed of not joining Mr. Mowatt, or indeed
any one else. If he stood for the borough, he said
it should be alone, and consequently distinct from
any other Liberal whom the electors might select.
Many of the Liberal constituency feel annoyed at
this decision, and so expressed themselves ; and
eventually olonel Adair made a polite bow, and
bade them " farewell for ever !"—Bury and Nor-
wich Post.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
Augusta of Saxe-Cobourg and his Royal Highness the
Comte de Paris honoured the Right Hon. Major-General
and Lady Alice Peel with their company at dinner on Wed-
nesday. The Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma
Stanley; the Russian Ambassador, Baron de Brunnow ;
the Earl of Malmesbury ; the Bavarian Minister, Baron de
Cetto ; Earl of Carnarvon ; Sir Robert and Lady Emily
Peel; Baron de Nostitz; Madlle. de Boouh, and General
Dumas were included in the party at dinner. In the even-
ing her ladyship had an assembly.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam-
bridge and the Princess Mary honoured the Marquis of
Lansdowne ith their company at dinner, last evening, at
l*nsdowne House. A distinguished circle had the honour
of being invited to meet the royal guests.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will
leave Frogmore House, near Windsor, to-morrow, for
Clarence House, St. James's.
THE DONALD MACKAY.—This far-famed clipper
is to leave Liverpool for Melbourne on the 6th of April.
