At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this

for the appellants (the railway companies), the respondents
in the courts below.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

JUDGMENT.-GROVER V. BIRDSEYE.

This was an administrator's suit, under the testator's
will, who died in 1839.
His Honour directed an account to be taken of the money
paid by the widow for a renewal of the lease of her hus-
band's house after his death ; and directed his furniture to
be sold ; and also directed the costs to be apportioned among
the legatees, according to their respective legacies ; and
allowed all costs properly incurred in ascertaining the re-
sidue of the testator's estate.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
A respectably-dressed man, named David Bassett, lately
carrying on business at Uxbridge as a corn dealer, was in-
dicted for not surrendering himself at the Bankruptcy
Court.

The ease consisted of proving the selling and delivery of
certain parcels of corn.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
THE COMMERCIAL BANK FRAUD.

James Darden, who was last session tried, convicted, and
sentenced to 14 years' penal servitude for embezzling s►
large sum of money, the property of the Commercial Bank

Holcroft, who was acquitted on the occasion alluded to,
charged with further embezzling three sums of money,
viz., £142 55., £l6O, and £6B Bs., the property of the bank.
The evidence was of a similar nature to that produced on
the first trial, and was proceeding when we went to press.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Sarah Sharp was indicted for obtaining, by false and
fraudulent pretences, the sum of £3 15s. 6d. from Frede-
rick Parkinson, with intent to defraud. Although indicted

The Recorder sentenced her to 12 months imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT WITH A CATAPULT.—Cornelius
Reardon, an Irish plasterer, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Thomas Bunt, 133 E, on the
head with a catapult, and also assaulting William Perry,

142 E.
Inspector Garforth, E division, handed in the following
certificate :

vv"
I certify that I attended Thomas Bunt, who had an in-
cised wound on the right temple, which required to be
stitched, two wounds on the left aide of the face, three punc-
tured wounds, &c. He is unable to attend to duty.
ROBERT S. JONES (for J. Weekes),
Divisional Surgeon.

Bunt, whose head was all but a part of his face enveloped
in surgical bandages, said he was in Fitsroy-court, Totten-
ham-court-road, the previous night. The prisoner was
making a great disturbance and he requested him to move,
when he struck him several times about the head with a
catapult, some of the blows being much sharper than others.
He got him (prisoner) on the ground till assistance came,
and he (witness) was then taken to the station and attended
by Mr. Jones, but was unable to do duty at present. (The
poor fellow seemed to suffer a good deal.)

Wm. Perry, 142 E, proved going to the assistance of
Bunt, and found him smothered in blood. The prisoner
was very violent. The prisoner appeared quite sober, and
the constable was holding the prisoner down.
Inspector Garforth said he saw Bunt's face bleeding and
on examining his left ear he found there were some punc-
tured wounds, and there were several other punctured
wounds. Shortly after the prisoner was brought in he
asked the constable to describe w hat it was done with, and
the constable said it was a piece of iron like a razor, and
the prisoner said it was " only a penny toy;" the charge will
then taken and the prisoner locked up. He wished for a
remand to see how the constable would get on.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner until
Thursday.
