ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 25.

Air. TURNER. moved, in a case the name of which
he did not state, for an injunction to restrain the de •
fendants from receiving two sums, one a sum or
8,0001. Consols, and the other a sum of 9,0001. Con-
sols, and from receiving the dividends thereof. The
bill was filed by two sons of a testator, for the pur-
pose of setting aside two settlements made by the
father upon the two sisters of the plaintiffs. The
testator by those deeds, which were each dated on the
13th of November, 1846, settled the two sums of
Consols upon his two daughters. The prayer of the
bill was, that the deeds should be cancelled, and that
the defendants (the daughters) should be restrained
by injunction from receiving the stock, or from pro-
curing any transfer of it. The testator died on the
20th of September, 1840.
_ _ . . .

Lord LANGDALE granted the injunction until the
9,11 of February, and plaintiff's were to give notice if
they moved to continue the injunction.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
m A NSION-HO US E.
Dennis Ryan and John M. Kenna were brought
before the Lord Mayor for final examination upon
the charge of having assaulted Lewis Notley, a City
policeman, with intent to do him some grievous bodily
harm. The prosecutor, who had been for a con-
siderable time in the hospital in a dangerous condi-
tion, appeared for the first time to give evidence.
He said, between two and three o'clock in the
morning of the 6th inst. I was passing through
Catherine-wheel-alley, Bishopsgate; on duty, and saw
the prisoners with others making a great noise. I
told them to go home. They passed on, but a woman
who was with them returned and seiz--A my hat.
Ryan then came up, caught me round the waist, and
with the assistance of M'irienna and another man,
threw me down on the back of my head. I was then
struck two severe ble:ws on my head. I can't say
with what, but I believe with my truncheon, which I
was drawing when I was knocked to the ground. I
can't say who struck nee, for I was stunned and my
senses left me. I was taken to the hospital, and have
been there ever since.
A boy, named John Neal, said,—.l was present
and heard the policemen advising three men and a
Woman to go home, and I saw Ryan hit the police-
man with his' fist and then kirk -him and take his
staff. I afterwards sew Ryan run away, and I fol-
lowed him, calling " Police.' He dropped his hat,
and he acknowledged at the station-house that the
hat was his. While I was running after him I heard
blows being struck, and a great noise in the direction
which Ryan had just left.
Evidence -of the policeman, in confirmation of vari-
ous parts of the statement mode aheve, was taken.
Mr. F. T. Van flemert, medical student and dres-
ser at St. Thomas's Hospital, said Notley Tres
brought into the hospital at a quarter to four o'clock
on the morning of the 6.h inst., and I examined
him and-found three severe wounds on the seals, and
that he was suffering from the effects of a slight con-
cussion of the brain. There was a wound in the back
of the head which appeared to result from a fall.
Two of the wounds were evidently produced by a
blunt instrument. The man had been bleeding pro-
fusely from all the wounds, and was in danger at the
time. I have attended him since, and he has gone
on beater than I expected.
Ryao, up en being asked in the usual terms by the.
1.102 D 1114roa.wh!ther he wished to say anything in
answer to so serious a charge, said, I saw the police-
man' who appeared to be in liquor, strike a woman
and knock her against a wall, and I told him not to
he to fast with her, and that I should report his
conduct at the station-house. I looked close at him
to catch his number, and he then struck me with his
fist and knocked off my hat. I called out to the wo-
man to go for a policeman, and I ran to look f)r one
myself, but was taken into custody, and afterwards
charged at the station-house with an assault which I
had never committed.
Mlienna said he was a violin player, and had been
playing at a public-house in the neighbourhood ;
after leaving which he went into an adjoining house
and sat down with a friend, but was suddenly fixed
upon by the police-officers who entered, as one of the
assailants.
The prisoners were then committed for trial, and
the City Solicitor was directed to prosecute.
It was stated in Catherine-wheel-alley, which is a
place remarkable for nightly rows, that the beating
-which the unfortunate policeman received had been
intended for another who has been long unpopular in
the place.

GUILDHALL.
William Ilack, of 6, Queen's-court, Holborn, was
brought up for final examination, charged with being
in Christopher-court, opposite St. Martin's-le-Grand,
with intent to commit a felony.
The prisoner was sentencec, to three months' im-
prisonment.
. The Secretary of the Metropolitan Society for the
Protection of Trade, 4, Old Jewry, called the atten-
tion of the Alderman to a Competitor of the renowned
Joseph Ady, who had started up and opened in
exctly the same line of business. He produced a
letter which bad been addressed to Mr. W. Agars, of
North Burton, in Yorkshire, informing that gentle-
man that he was entitled to unclaimed dividends in
stock to the amount of 8001., and upon the receipt e!
2W. he (the writer) would give the necessary inf
mation to obtain it. letter was signed " George
Wilson, agent for the recovery of unclaimed dividends,
14, St John's-street, London." The society caused
inquiries to be made at the place, and found that he
did not keep the house, hut letters were taken in for
him. He thought it would therefore be useful for the
public to know that this new adventurer might, or
g'cit not, if occasion required, be as readily found as
Joseph Ady,. wbo was a. housekeeper of long standing.
Alderman FisNis said,. he bad received several
ofTfrs of such informatioe, to which he had sot been
so foolish
,as tt),gi.ve any attention, and the publication
of the society s inquiry might be of some benefit to
the public.
