LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURI OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
APPEALS-7LEATIL V. GREENIIILL-KNOWLES V. GREEN-

HILL.

These appeals from decisions of Vice-Chancellor Sir
John Stuart came on to be argued together. They ask by
their bill that the sum of £660 31 per Cent. Consols should
be re-transferred to the trusts of the marriage settlement,
and for the appointment of new trustees. The plaintiff in
the first suit claims £197 31 per Cent. Annuities as execu-
tor of Mrs. Lindon. The plaintiff in the second suit
claimed £2OO Consols as the executor of the late John
Lindon.

The Vice-Chancellor dismissed the plaintiff's bill, and
directed an inquiry into the ap licatien of £1,070 value of
property sold to the railway company.
The Lord Chancellor made one order in both suits, declar-
ing that the plaintiff, Knowles, was entitled, as executor of
Mr. Lindon, to the £2OO Consols. And in the first
appeal directed that the sum of £197 31 per Cent.
Annuities in the hands of the Commissioners for
Reduction of the National Debt debt be added to the sum
of £473, to make up the sum of £690 31 per Cent. Annuities
as trust funds of the settlement. And in respect that some
of the plaintiffs are suing in forma pauperis, and that the
trustees are in Warwick gaol for contempt of court, in not
obeying an order of Court to lodge £5OO of the trust funds
in Court ; give no costs against the trustees, but allow
costs to all parties beneficially interested out of the trust
funds. And allow invest gation as to the application of
£1,070, the price of trust property sold to the railway
company.' And directed a retransfer of the annuities by
the Commissioners, in the name of the original parties,
until the appointment of new trustees.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MAE LBOROUGH- sTREET.

DISGRACEFUL PROSECUTION.—Louise Templeton, a
well-dressed unfortunate, was charged by Mr. Frederick
Williams, 47, Stanley-street, Belgrave-square, with steal-
ing half a sovereign.

Mr. Williams said the prisoner took the purse out of his
pocket in the room to which ho accompanied her.
Mr. Tyrwhitt —How do you know she did it ; did you
see her do it ?

➢lr. Williams—No; but sho threw the purse at me after
taking out the half sovereign.

Mr: Tyrwhitt—Did you see her take the half sovereign?

Mr. Williams—l can't say I did, but it was in the purse.
There was also a sixpence and fourpence in the purse. I
was not sober when I met the prisoner, but I gave her ss.
The accused denied ever receiving any money.
John Hillier, 32, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, clerk, said
he was at the same house with another lady. He heard
some quarrelling going on about money. They had all
been drinking together. He had no doubt his friend did
not wish to press the charge.

Sergeant Ryan, 15 E, said the accused gave him the half
sovereign, stating that the prosecutor gave it her.
The accused said the prosecutor gave her his purse, and
she took a half sovereign out, as he knew, and gave the
purse back to him. Neither of the gentlemen gave them
anything.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a disgraceful case, and he had
no doubt the prosecutor would have been glad to have got
away with His hstlf sovereign, and without paying. He
should like to know what jury would find the accused guilty
on such evidence. Neither of the women had been paid
for the pleasant company of the gentleman. She is dis-
charged.
Sergeant Ryan asked whether he was to give the accused
the half sovereign back.

Mr. Tyrwhid—Yes ; and tell the gentleman to sue her
for it at the County Court.

The result gave satisfaction to all persons in court.

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN A DISTRICT POST-OFFICE.—Thomas Cox,
a Spitalfields thief, was brought before Mr. Sclfe, charged
with stealing a postman's cape from the Eastern District
Post-office, Commercial-road.

A police-constable, named George, 121 K, saw the pri-
soner loitering about the Post-office, and when the mail-
cart and horse drove up to the side door in Fenton-street,
and the driver had entered the Post-office for the bags of
letters, the prisoner looked into the cart, in which he no
doubt expected to find a coat or a cape. The fellow was
disappointed, and he then crept into the Post-office, and
finding a postman's official cape thrown on one side,
he took it up and ran away with it. George, who had
closely and perseveringly watched him, pursued the prisoner,
who, finding a police-constable close upon his heels, threw
away the cape, and dodged the constable through several
streets and alleys in St. George's-in-the-East. Fortu-
nately the prisoner turned into a court which contained no
thoroughfare at the end, and he was run down and cap-
tured. 'the cape was identified by Charles Adams, a foot-
man.

In answer to questions by the magistrate, George said
the prisoner had been the asociate of thieves many years,
and came from Keate-street.

Mr. Selfe—Keate-street, Spitalfields ? I hear of that no-
torious place every hour.

The prisoner, on being calleclion for his defence, pleaded
guilty.
Mr. Selfe—From the circumstinces surrounding the case,
I believe you are a professional thief. You are sentenced
to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
EXPENSIVE PAUPER FAMILIES.—A. few days since Mr.
Slight and Mr. Gifford, relieving officers of Mile-end Old-
town, brought up a man named M'lntosh, formerly a
Customhouse officer, and latterly steward of a ship, who
deserted his wife and family six years ago. Their mainte-
nance had already cost the Hamlet £4OO. M'lntosh, who
was well dressed, and whose appearance indicated good
living, was sent to the treadmill for two months. A super-
annuated Customhouse officer, named Christopher Botham,
who has been in prison a week, was brought before Mr.
Selfe on remand, this morning, charged with deserting his
children two years ago, and leaving them chargeable to the
Hamlet of Mile-end Old-town. Mr. Gifford said the cost of
maintaining the prisoner's children amounted to £lOO.
The guardians did not expect to get a farthing
of the money. It was not their object to
obtain compensation, but to punish the prisoner and all
other heartless and selfish fathers of families who abandoned
their offspring. Three of the children now in court were
aged ten, eight, and six respectively when admitted. The
youngest, aged four, died three months after the prisoner
deserted his children.
The prisoner said he was nnable to maintain his children,
and his pension from the Customs was only £l5 per annum.
He did not know his children were in tho workhouse until
he was arrested.

[arms.

His daughter, Sarah Botham, aged 16, a respect-
able domestic servant, was called, who said she told her
father the children were in the wotkhouse, and he knew it
well, and never inquired after them.
Mr. Gifford said the prisoner was a tailor, and, besides
his pension, had earned a good deal of money. _ _

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

Mr. Selfe commented on the scandalous conduct of the
prisoner, and his utter want of feeling for his children, who
had been supported for two years on public charity. The
parish officers acted most properly in bringing before him
fathers of children who deserted them. He sentenced the
prisoner, as a "rogue and vagabond," in the terms of the
Vagrant Act, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
six weeks; and, said the magistrate, if you don't support
your family when you come out of gaol, you shall be sent
back to prison again fora much longer period.

This morning the Lord Mayor was sworn into office with
the usual formality and display. Notwithstanding that
objection by some has been raised to the " show " on the
ground of obstruction to business, yet by many it is looked
upon as one of the time-honoured customs of the first city
in the world, and therefore to speak against it is looked
upon as high treason. The circumstances to-day were
invested with an unusual interest on account of its being
the second time that Alderman Cubitt, as "My Lord of
London," journeyed in the state coach from the Mansion-
house to Westminster to take the ancient oaths before the
Lord Chief Baron in the Court of Exchequer. The Man-
sion-house, of course, was the scene of much commotion,
and during the whole of the morning policemen, city mar-
shals, and lively flunkeys with large bunches of flowers,
and unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a
dreadful state of excitement ; while at the various ward
halls, beadles, whose shabby-genteel coats were concealed
beneath heavy cloaks trimmed with gold lace, were furbish-
ing up their wands of office, and inspecting the banner-
bearers who were to take part in the all-important pageant.
At an early hour the friends and company of the Lord
Mayor began to gather at the Mansion House, whet e break-
fast was prepared for them, as well as for the Aldermen,
the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and the great officers of the
Corporation ; the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs
having donned their violet gowns in honour of the occasion,
and the great officers wearing their respective gowns of
office.

Breakfast being over, the Lord Mayor, attended by the
Swordbearer, the Common Crier, and the Lord Mayor's
chaplain, quitted the Mansion House, and proceeded to
Guildhall, the Aldermen, Sheriffs, officers, and Lord
Mayor's company following in their carriages.
Thence they went in procession to the hustings in the
great hall, where, owing to the preparations for this even-
ing's banquet, there were abundant signs of bustle and dis-
arrangement.

The notabilities of the day having taken their seats, the
Common Crier bore his maco up to the table, making three
reverences on his way, and stood at the table with his mace
before him.

And then the Town Clerk, on the north side of the table,
made first one low reverence, and then two others, and,
kneeling on a stool at the table, ho administered the usual
oaths to the Lord Mayor, and he then signed the usual
deeds.

Then the Town Clerk, having fulfilled his share of the
day's duties, retired, and was succeeded by the City Cham-
berlain making his three reverences as he approached the
table on the south side, and presented the " diamond seep-
*re" to the Lord Mayor, and then retiring, the Chamberlain
advanced a second time, and presented, in the same manner
as before, the " seal" of the office of mayoralty ; and, again
retiring, he advanced a third time to present the " purse,"
and then retired finally to make room for

The Swordbearer, who with three reverences, presented
the sword to the Lord Mayor, who re-delivered it to the
Swordbearer, who laid it upon the table, and then retired,
as became him in such presence, with three more reverences.

So also did the Common Crier again advance, and again
retire : and so advanced the Chamberlain's chief clerk, hold..
ng a velvet cushion, -upon which the Lord Mayor deposited
the sceptre, the seal, &c., with which the chief clerk retired
(not foirgetting his three reverences) to the Chamberlain's
office.

So also the Swordbearer again advanced, and received
back his sword, and the Common Crier, and received back
his mace, and then the Aldermen, t'heriffs, and City officers
advanced in rotation, to congratulate and shake hands with
his lordship.

After some other formalities, his lordship announced it
to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be
arranged in the order in which it was to move. Accordingly
the City Marshal set to work, and with the aid of a body of
police succeeded, after some difficulty, in the task.
The procession then passed through King-street, Cheap-
side, the Poultry, Cornhill, Leadenhall-street, Billiter-
street, Fenchurch and Gracechurch-streets, Cannon-street
East and West, St. Pall's-churchyard, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-
strand, to Westminster, in the following order :
Police Constables to clear the way.
