L ATV IN2ELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice- Chancellor Wood.)
aUDGMENT—HOPE V. FOX.

The plaintiff, Mrs. Pope, filed her bill to set aside a
deed of appointment executed by her in favonr of her son
and a mortgagee of the whole of her property, on the ground
of undue pressure of her husband, and fraudulent misre-
presentation of her son that the deed she was then execut-
ing was only for the appointment of a new trustee, and
thereby concealing the fact that it was a deed disposing of
her general interest in her real estate under her marriage
settlements.

His Honour the Vica-Chancellor, on considering the
evidence produced on both sides, came to the conclusion
that the plaintiff had not proved either fraud or misrepre-
sentation in the execution of the deed of appointment in
question, and therefore dismissed the plaintiff's bill against
the husband, with costs ; also costs of the next friend up to
the lime of the amendment of the bill, when the husband
was made a defendant. The costs to be paid by the hus-
band to be substituted for the costs to be paid by the other
p aties.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A G ENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING A CADMAN.

—Mr. Henry Bathe, gentleman, of 5, King-street, St.
James's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
Thomas Handon, cabman, of 16, Drummond-crescent,
Thomas Handon, badge 10,357, said last night, at half-
past nine, I took up the defendant and another gentle-
man and a lady in the Haymarket, and took them to King-
street. On setting them down defendant gave me half-a-
crown. I gave the other gentleman le., upon which he
caught hold of my throat, and the defendant came out of
the house and struck me some violent blows on the face,
covering it with blood. The defendant was not the worse
for liquor, and I had given him no provocation.
Defendant—l went into the house, and seeing my friend
struggling with the cabman, I struck him. I had paid the
man more than his fare, and do not know how they got
quarrelling together.
Mr. John Swaine Hogge stepped into the witness box.
Clerk—Where do you reside?
Mr. Hogge—l den't reside anywhere.
Clerk—You must live somewhere ?
Mr. Hogge—Well, I live in King-street, but am going
abroad.

Clerk—What are you?
Mr. Hogge—l am in the service. lam an officer in the
army. Defendant gave the cabman half-a-crown and
walked into the hous3. I said, "You ruffian, you have
charged half-a-crown." Tho cabman then said ho had no
change, and I then took him by the throat.

Defendant—The man said his fare was half-a-crown.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—That was pretty fair from the Haymarket
to King-street.
Mr. llogge—l said to the defendant, " Polish him (the
cabman) off," and the defendant did polish him off.
(Laughter.)

Mr. Tyrwhitt—That is certainly illegal, and it is not the
way to treat a cabman or any one else. You should have
brought the complainant hero by a summons. I think
some small compensation to the cabman will suffice.
The parties then left the court and shortly after retired,
when the cabman said the defendant had offered him half-
a-crown, and he declined taking it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—As thero was clearly some imposition on
tho part of the cabman, I shall fine you ono shilling.

FIRST SURREY ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS.—On
Wednesday evening a general meeting took place at the
head-quarters, Lambeth-road, to complete the arrange-
ments for the reorganisation of this corps, Major Roupell,
M.P. (an honorary member of the corps), presiding. The
first business was the intr• duction by the chairman of Mr
J. A. Rose (brother of Alderman and Major Rose, of the
London Rifle Brigade), as captain-commandant elect of the
corps, and of Mr. Nind, son of the late Captain Nind, of
the Royal Navy, also as captain elect of the Second Bat-
tery. Mr. Rose, in a lengthened address, expatiated on
the value of artillery corps as a means of defence, placing
them next in efficiency to the good "old wooden walls."
The Channel, which had in bygone times been a gulf
between the two nations, was now reduced by the improve-
ments in our steam navy to a mere river, and it behoved us
to cultivate the offensive as well as defensive means for theo
protection of our liberties and our homes. Mr. Nind,l who
followed, endorsed these sentiments. whichhecoud

Mr. Lingham delivered a touching address connected with
the business of the meeting, which was then practically

the corps, and also the office of treasurer, pro tern, and
other routine arrangements were completed. Offices have

tending members can receive a'l necessary information.
Among the advantages possessed by this corps over other
metropolitan ones is, that the permission of the Archbishop
of Canterbury has been obtained, through the Rev. Mr.
Lingham, for the corps to drill in Lambeth Palace-park—
an area affording drill accommodation to 2,000 men.
