LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before tho Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
TWO APPEALS-JUDGMENT-YENNING V. LLOYD.

These are appeals from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir
William Page Wood, directing the appellant to pay into court
£.5,375 due on a life insurance policy in the hands of the
Scottish Widows' Fund Assurance Company on the life of
a gentleman deceased. An action was raised in the Court
of Session in -Scotland for payment of this policy, and ar-
restments used in the hands of the company, jurisdictione
fiendandi oausa, which is not concluded. Afterwards a
bill was filed in Chancery for the same purpose.
The appellant pleaded—let, that he could not pay the
money into this court, in respect that the money was ar-
rested in the hands of the company in Scotland on a de-
pending action before the Court of Session, and the docu-
ments to prove his debt were produced in that action and
could not be delivered up. Their lordships were unani-
mously of opinion that, considering the Court of Session
had co-ordinate jurisdiction with the Court of Chancery in
England, still that Court must be treated in the
same manner as courts of co ordinate jurisdiction
in England,— such as the Court of Exchequer for example—
that where an action is begun and not concluded this Court
ha. a right to make such orders as are necessary on the sub-
ject matter of the suit before it.

Their lordships affirmed tho order of the Vice-Chancellor
and dismissed both appeals with costs.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
JUDGMENT.-GORDON V. WOODFORD.

It will be remembered that some weeks since the defen-
dant was released from prison, where he was confined for
breach of an injunction of this Court, restraining him from
cutting down or felling timber on the estate of Derwent-
water ; an estate of great beauty, and valuable for its
timber. In 1854 he became entitled thereto as tenant for
life, without impeachment of waste ; but in that year he
had sold the right to cut timber to persons entitled to an
interest in remainder, and afterwards executed a trust deed
in favour of trustees.

His Honour the piaster of the Rolls, on considering the
contracts entered into by the parties, was of opinion that the
defendants were not entitled to cut down the timber on the
estate in the manner proposed; that the timber not only
included the timber mentioned on the estate, but also sap-
lings or growing timber known as such in that part of the
country, and declared the injunction perpetual, with costs
to the plaintiff, and ordered an account to be taken.
His Honour recommended an amicable settlement between
the partiea.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Bofore Mr. Kerr.)

SINGULAR LOAN SOCIETY CASE-RATCLIFFE V. REEVE.
This was an action to recover £3 10s. balance of a pro-
missory note for £5, defendant having been security.
The note was produced and the borrower was entered as
one Glindon.

Defendant denied that he was security for Glindon. He
had agreed to be bound for one Newman. He attended one
night at the house in which the society was held and find-
ing Newman had not arrived defendant signed the note
produced in blank. Some person had filled in the name of
Glindon without defendant's knowledge or consent. The
plaintiff did not know Glindon. 30s. had been been paid off
the note.
Defendant—Not by me.

His Honour—Newman might have been a rich man, and
Glindon a pauper in the workhouse. Defendant could not
be bound for Glindon, and must have a verdict with costs.
MEDICAL CASE.—WELCH (EXECUTOR FOR LANGDALE) V.

TIBBS.

This was an action upon a doctor's bill. Mr. Beard, for
plaintiff, called defendant, who had been subpcenaed, and
asked him if he owed the account ?
Defendant—No.

Mr. Beard—Did he not attend you on the occasions
noted ?

Defendant—No.

Mr. Beard—Did he not supply the mixtures ?

Defendant—No. I have paid deceased when he has
called professionally, and produce receipts. He sometimes
called on me and had a mixture of mine, rather more palat-
able than his. (Laughter.)

Mr. Beard said he could not carry the case further, and
his Honour found for defend ant, with costs.

CtRIOUS PATENT CASE.--BARB. V. BARNES.

This was an action to recover £5 for instructions.

Plaintiff said he was patentee of a very improved method
of cutting out in the tailoring business. He had published
a book, and had given defendant instructions and supplied
him with a diagram.
Mr. Beard, for defendant, cross-examined plaintiff, who
said he and defendant had been fellow-servants at Messrs.
Moses and Sons.

Defendant was then called, and denied that plaintiff had
given him a diagram or any instructions.
Plaintiff had no witnesses, and was nonsuited. Costa
being allowed to defendant and his attorney.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT ON A GENTLEMAN.—WiIIiam Bignell,
lighterman, was charged with the following assault on a
gentleman :

Mr. Hippisley, of 8, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, said
that between five and six on Saturday evening he was
walking in Piccadilly, when he suddenly had his hat
knocked off from behind, and the defendant then walked
past him, no one else being near at the time. The defendant
then rushed on towards Burlington-gardens, throwing his
arms about all the way, and assaulting everybody he passed
on the road. He went at least 200 yards after him before
he came up with him, being determined not to let him es-
cape, and then seeing a constable gave him into custody.
The defendant had either been drinking or pretended to
have been, and at the station made the remark in a very
impertinent manner that he was as good a man as he was.
Sergeant Wm. Smith, 1 C, said the defendant was not
sober, and very insulting. _

Mr. Hippisley said he took the matter up as he thoiight
the public ought to be protected against such men.
Mr. Beadon said he should fine the defendant 10s., or
seven days.

THE DUMB ITALIAN ORGAN-GalNDEß.—Giovanni
Battole, the Italian organ-grinder who so frequentlyis ob-
served about the streets grinding at the shell of an organ,
surrounded by a crowd of blackguard boys, to the great an-
noyance of the tradesmen in front of whose houses he stands,
was brought before Mr. Beadon charged with begging—
ls. 4d. being found on him, and he being at the time in Re-
gent-street, surrounded by a crowd of boys.
Mr. Beadon ordered the man to be imprisoned for a
month, and the apology for an organ to be destroyed.
