LAW INTELLIGENCE- (THIS DA Y.)

ROLLS' COURT.

(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)

JUDGMENT.-IN ItE NANTLE VALE SLATE COMPANY.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—ln this case
I have considered the facts with great pains, and given
them all the careful attention that I could, and I have come
to the conclusion that Mr. Job was not in his office
on the 13th of September last, and was not served
with a notice of the order I made upon him. I pur-
posely abstain from stating the grounds on which
I have come to that conclusion. The consequence
will be that the execution will be set aside: He shall
have the costs of this application ; and I shall make an
order that he shall pay the money in my former order into
court, within ten days from this time.
Mr. R. Palmer—And on his undertaking that he shall not
bring any action of damages on account of the distraint ?
His Honour—Yes.

Mr. R. Palmer—His obtaining costs will not affect the
order that he shall pay the money into court within ten
days ?

His Honour—No. Likewise, the official manager shall
have his costs out of the estate.
Ordered accordingly.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley.)
JUDGMENT.-LOMBURDE V. PEACH.

This was a family suit between sister and brother. The
plaintiff, Mrs. Lomburde, by her bill in the events which
happened, claimed the devised estates in her father's will.
The testator, by his will, devised the remainder of his
estates to trustees, and declared that, in the event of
Edmond Henry Tirtan Peach succeeding to his family
estates and his devised estates, he shall not hold both
together ; that the devised estates shall in that event go
over to the next heir of tail in remainder. By the codicil
to his will he directed the rest of the income of his estate to
be applied to the education and maintenance of the heirs of
tail and in remainder. The testator died Nov. 13, 1831.
His Honour came to the conclusion that, in consequence
of the shifting clause in the will, the defendant was not
entitled to hold both estates—the family and devised estates
—but only the family estates of the testator. But in respect
of the devise to the trustees to hold the devised estates for
the heirs in remainder, the defendant was entitled, as heir-
at-law, to succeed as heir in remainder to that estate, to
the exclusion of his sister, Mrs, Lamburde.
His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill, without costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
:N RE HILLS AND. HILLS—THE DARTFORD AND GRAVES-

END BANK.

These bankrupts, Jonathan Hills and Robert Hills, car-
ried on business as bankers at Gravesend and Dartford, and
to-day was appointed for consideration of their certificates.
Mr. Lawranco appeared for the assignees, and Mr.
Bayley and Mr. Read for creditors to oppose.
Mr. Lawrence said the case had been adjourned until the
consideration of a proof tendered on behalf of the estate of
H. Gibspn had beendecided. Since then, however, Jonathan
Hills had died, and Robt. Hills had left the country, ostensibly
to get a large sum of money for the benefit of the creditors ;
at all events he was not present, and he (Mr. Lawrence)
believed that they, the assignees, and the opposing credi-
tors had a right to insist upon an absolute and uncondi-

tional refusal of the certificate, but, although there were
very grave charges against the bankrupt, and it was not
very probable he would return to England yet, to give him
an opportunity of doing something for his creditors, it
would perhaps be better to adjourn the certificate sine die,
and he could then apply hereafter.

His Honour said We was very decidedly in favour of that
course, and doubted whether he could refuse it when the
bankrupt did not appear. _ _ _

Mr. Lawrence said that it had been done in other cases,
but an adjournment sine die would answer every practical
purpose.

Mr. Bayley and Mr. Read assented to the suggestion,
and applied for costs of opposition, which were allowed.
His Honour then adjourned. the case sine die. No ap-
pointment for another meeting to be made except on special
order of the Court, and special notice to the opposing cre-
ditors.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.

A dissipated-looking man, named John Murphy, was
placed at the bar, charged with violently assaulting Mr.
John Phillips.

The complainant, landlord of th 2, Crown Coffee-house,
High-street, Bloomsbury, said that about half-past three
on that morning, a gentleman came to his house in a cab,
accompanied by the prisoner. The gentleman knew
Phillips, and wishing to stand a bottle of wine, threw down
half-a-sovereign for the purpose. The prisoner tried three
times to posses himself of the coin, but on each occasion
was foiled, which evidently very much displeased him.
The gentleman who wanted the wine was told he could not
have it there, tea and coffee being the only articles sold.
Immediately the prisoner found it was not intended to send
for the drink he behaved in a very outrageous manner,
challenged the complainant to fight, called him vile names,
-arktmltilnattly struck hhit a violent blow, 'which broke his
nose. The police were instantly sent for, and after some
trouble the prisoner was locked up. _ _

John Webster, a cheesemonger's assistant, lodging at Mr.
Phillips', said he was present when the disturbance took
place, and saw Phillips give the gentleman the half sove-
reign back. The prisoner came in with the gentleman, and
seemed to know him. He saw Murphy strike Phillips.
Police-constable E 115, said he went to Phillips's shop.
The complainant's face was bleeding, and the prisoner was
sitting on one of the tables. He resisted very much, but
eventually ho was conveyed to the station-house, and placed
in a cell, where he created so much disturbance that he was
threatened with having his boots taken off. He said he
knew that was more than any peeler dare do, for if any one
came into the cell he would give him a dose that would do
for him. He had known the prisoner for eight or nine
years, but during the whole of that period he had not
known him do a day's work. He was the constant asso-
ciate of thieves and ticket-of-leave men.

On being asked what he had to say to the charge, the
prisoner said more than half of what had been said against
him were lies ; that he was drimk, and that he had no
intention of stealing the half-sovereign from his friend.
Mr. Jardine had some doubts about the truth of the pri-
soner's statement, but it was clear that he had violently
assaulted Phillips, and he should therefore send him to
prison for three weeks.

THE NA VY,

A letter from Malta announces the arrival from n
Zante on the 20th of February of the Ariel steam
corvette, and the departure for England on the 27t h
of the Perseverance troopship, conveying Captai n
Maekillop and such of the crew of the Recruit, -paid
off at Malta on the 25th, as did not volunteor to
enter on board of other vessels in port ; also the
arrival on the 2d of March, from Sudak, of the
Princess Royal. The Urgent steam transpo rt left
for England on the Ist of March, conveying Mr.
Taylor, late of the Vulture. The Caradoc, steam
despatch vessel, left Malta for Alexandria on the
26th, to receive on board Lord Elgin, shortly ex-
pected to reach Suez on his return to England from
his special mission to China and Japan. The Vul-
ture steam frigate arrived at Malta from Gibraltar
on the 21st, escorted by the Perseverance, in conse-
quence 'of her leaky condition, from havint, got
aground on the western coast of Barbary, near Cape
Blanes, for which accident Captain Frederick A.
Campbell, and Mr. Francis Taylor, the master, were
put on their trial before a naval court-martial, of
which Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8., the second
in command in the Mediterranean, sat as
his
president,
taanicl7,Morffi. TeihaotisdAalsejxuadngdee-radsTe-olcfealt*e R.N.,. The trial com-
menced at 8 a.m. on the 24th, and was not con.
eluded until the afternoon of the 26th, when Capt.
Campbell was fully acquitted of any blame, but
against the master neglect was declared proved,
and he was accordingly condemned to be.severely
reprimanded and dismissed the ship. The defence
of the master seems to have had in view the throw-
ing the responsibility on the first. lieutenant,
Mr. Rae, who, like the master, was absent from the
deck, the senior officer of the watch at the time
being a midshipman. The Vulture has had to be
docked. Her Majesty's ships in Valetta Harbour
on the 3d March were the Marlborough, screw line-
of-battle ship (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral A.
Fanshawe, C. 8.) ; the Hibernia, receiving ship
(flag-ship of Rear-Admiral H. J. dodrington,C.B.);
the Conqueror, the Centurion, and the Princess
Royal, screw line-of-battle ships; the Arid, screw
corvette ; the Tartarus, Vulture, and Medina,
paddle steamers; and the Recruit and Boxer, steam
gunboats.
The screw steamship St. Jean d'Acre, Captain
Thompson, left Plymouthearly on Sunday morning
for the eastward.

The gunboat Biter, tender to the Blenheim, left
Plymouth Sound on Sunday for Portland.
The screw steamship James Watt, 91, in the
first-class steam reserve at Devonport, is ordered to
be commissioned immediately with a complement
of 860 men.

The head-quarters of the 58th Regiment were
yesterday transhipped from the Mary Ann, hired
troopship, at Spithead, to the Pigmy steam-vessel,
Master Commander Johnstone, which vessel con-
veyed them into Portsmouth harbour, and disem-
barked them at the south jetty, her Majesty's dock-
yard. The troops were marched into Anglesey
Barracks, Portsea, where they will remain until
further orders are received concerning them, a tele-
gram having been reeeived yesterday by the mili-
tary authorities at Portsmouth, from the Horse
Guards, to that effect.

The Neptune (late 120, sailing ship) was yester-
day floated out of No. 3 dock at Portsmouth, where
she has been converted into a 91 two•decked screw
steamship, and placed alongside the North Quay,
in the ship basin. No. 3 dock will be at once cleared
out and prepared for the reception of the Nelson,
120, to undergo a like process. According to pre-
sent arrangements she will be• brought down the
harbour, and placed in dock on the 10th inst. The
Nelson was built at Woolwich, and .brought into
Portsmouth harbour on the 31st of August, 1814,
and her longest voyage during that time has
been from her moorings up the harbour to the
dockyard, and back to her moorings again,
never having been outside the mouth of the harbour
during the last 45 years. She is a fine old ship of
her class.

The Alfred, 50, sailing frigate, has been pumped
out and raised from the ground of the ship basin at
Portsmouth, and placed alongside the north jetty,
preparatory to being berthed at moorings up the
harbour.

The Melpomene, 51, screw steam frigate (new),
was yesterday placed under the shears at Ports-
mouth dockyard to be masted and brought forward
on the first class steam reserve.

The Royal Sovereign, 131, screw steamship, in
the steam basin at Portsmouth, yesterday shifted
her berth from under the shears to the West Quay,
the Agamemnon taking her berth under the shears
to receive her masts and lower rigging, &T.
Yesterday a court-martial, composed of Rear-
Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, president ; Captains A.
Farquhar, of her Majesty's ship Victory, It. S.
Hewlett, of the Excellent, and F. B. Wainwright,
of the Leopard, assembled on board her Majesty's
ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, to try Mr.
James Foss Andrew, Acting Assistant Engineer of
the Second Class, Supernumerary of the Hannibal,
on the following charge :—" That he, the said Mr.
Jaw* .Www4wlre444,44l.lm—ax4iimat.t.laspaitiaa,
January last, desert from her. Majesty's ship Han-
nibal." The court found the charge proved, and
adjudged the prisoner to be imprisoned for six
months in Winchester gaol, and at the expiration
of that term of imprisonment to be dismissed her
Majesty's service.
