LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 19.
(Before Lord LANGDALE.)
HUNT AND ROSKELL V. lIANCJCK.

This motion was heard before the Master of the
Rolls yesterday in his private room. It was an appli-
cation for an injunc!ion on behalf of the plaintiffi as
successors to the Well known firm of Storr and Mor-
timer, jewellers and silversmiths, to restrain the de-
fendant from representing his business as a continua-
tion of that of Storr and Alortitner, and also from
representing himself as their successor.

•
Mr. R, PALMER (who with Mr. Bird appeared for
the plaintiffs) stated that he understood the defendant
wished to answer the plaintiffs' affi davits ; but it ap-
peared to him that in all probability after the affida-
vits pro and con. had been tiled, his Lordship would
direct the motion to stand over, with liberty to the
plaintiffs to bring an action ; and therefore, in order
to save time, he would, with his Lordship's permis-
sion, at once adopt that course.
111r.ROUPELL for the defendant, stated that he had
not seen the affidavits, but his clients anticipated that
the result would be more favourable to him than the
plaintiffs imagined. . _

The MAsTisi, of the ROLLS observed that the de-
fendant could not prevent an action being brought,
and the plaintiffs were willing to suspend the motion
for an injunction in the Mean time.

An action was then directed to be brought, and, the
motion for the injunction to stand over.
His Lordship will sit again this day (Tuesday) to
hear pressing motions.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 19.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FATE.)
IN RE TIBBITTS.
This was a renewed hearing of an application for
an order from this court, that the assignees of Thomas
.Tibbitts should withdraw their messenger from the
possession of a farm occupied by Matthew Tibbitts,
his son, also a bankrupt.
Mr, Bagley appeared for the assignees; Mr. Plews
for Matthew Tibbitts.
The proposal that a compromise should be made by
Matthew Tibbitts giving security for the property
held, and the messenger thereupon withdrawing from
possession having failed, Mr. George Lamb, the uncle
of Matthew Tibbitts, was re-examined.
He said that at the time the assignment of the
farm was made by Thomas Tibbitts, in February,
1849, Thomas Tibbetts was not indebted to him any-
thing. He considered that the deed was executed by
Thomas Tibbitts to secure him against a guarantee
which he had given for Matthew Tibbitts.
Mr. BAGLEY—DO you understand the deed ? The
witness—l have read the deed over since, but I have
come to the conclusion that it will take a very clever
man to understand it.—(Great laughter.)
The COMMISSIONER—I quite agree with you.
After some other evidence, Mr. Bagley submitted
that the petitioner had not made out any case that
called for a reply. The maxim of the law was, that
a plaintiff must rely on the strength of his own title.
What title was there in this case ? The plaintiff, or
petitioner, was a bankrupt without a certificate.
The COMMISSIONER said he could not hold the doc-
trine advanced by Mr. Bagley. Nothing short of
Mr. Bagley proving that the assignees of Thomas
Tibbitts had a better right to the property than the
person in possession would satisfy him.
Mr. BAGLEY intimated an opinion, that if the case
were to go to theassizes, the plaintiff must in the plead-
ings set forth that the property was his. To this
it would be replied that the property was not his.
The questions put by the Judge would be—was the
Commissioner aware that the plaintiff bad no title ?
If he had no title, what right had he to complain?
The COMMISSIONER said that the first principle of
the law was, that the man in possession of property
was its owner, until another person should show that
he was entitled to it. Ile should require Mr. Bagley
to prove the title of his clients, whatever might be
said elsewhere.
Mr. BAGLEY then addressed the Court. He sub-
mitted that the entire facts of the case showed that
the father was the occupier of the farm. The father
was in a large way of business. His discounts dur-
ing the year ending June, 1850, with the Crown
Bank of Norwich, which had a branch at Ely, had
been no less than 60,000/. Only one cheque on ac-
count of rent had been paid by I\l3ltha,..Tiiii,:vie,
titer's name for 1,1001., hut was now said to be worth
little more than 3001. It was a remarkable circum-
stance that after Thomas Tibbitts had represented to
Mr. II irvey, of the Norwich and Ely Bank, that he
was the owner of the farm, and that he was worth
5,000/. lifter the payment of his debts, it should
subsequently happen that the property was his son's.
The bank had held a large number of Thomas Tib
bias' bills upon three or four other persons, and it
was a singular circumstance that the whole of the
three or lour had become bankrupt on the same day.
When asked what had become of his property, the
reply of the bankrupt was that he had given hi 4 corn
trade in October last to his youngest son. When
asked what had become of the farm, the answer was,
" Oh, I have given that to my son Matthew."
The Comatissiorsea—There is quite a masquerade.
Mr. BAGLEY continued—When asked what had
become of other property, the answer was, " Oh,
about a year ago I exchanged that with my wife's
trustees ; and when asked what had become of the
property received from the wife's trustees, the answer
was," Oh, I sold that."—(Laughter.) He contended
that the facts of that case showed, that in the pure
region of Huntingdonshire, persons were to be found
who were quite as capable of effecting frauds as per-
sons in the neighbourhood of Wbitechapel.
Mr. Harvey said he was a partner in a bank at
Norwich, having a branch in Ely. Their discounts
of Thomas Tibbitta's bills during the year ending
June, 1850, had amounted to 60,000/. About six
months since Thomas Tibbitts had complained to him
of the charge of the bank for discounts being at the
rate of five per cent. per annum. He said that, being
a person worth 5,0001., he ought to be charged only
four per cent. He said he had 1,5001. locked up in
the farm in question. He had added that he should
dispose of his interest in the farm at Michaelmas next,
and carry the proceeds into his business.
Mr. Bannister, overseer, of Farcet, said that the
farm had been rated in the father's name until June
last, when the son had applied for his name to be in-
serted in its place. Thomas Tibbitts's name had been
uniformly on the Parliamentary register. There had
been a beer-house on the farm ; the name of Thomas
Tibbitts had been inserted in the licence and over the
door. It was not until June or July that Matthew
Tibbitts had desired the licence to be transferred to
him, and he had never previously complained of the
rating of the farm being in Thomas Tibbitta's name,
and not of his own.
Mr. 'William Pears proved that Thomas Tibbitts
had been always considered by Mr. Peppercorn, the
agent for Lord Saye and Sele, as the occupier of the
farm.

Mr. PLEws having been heard in reply,
His HoNoust said that the circumstances were ex-
tremely suspicious; he would, however, go through
the evidence minutely, and give his decision on Fri-
day next.

[PRICE SD.

contrived by some pretext to obtain, and came up to
London to renew his old parochial habits of lazy in-
dependence. It was with no slight degree of sur-
prise that Mr. Thwaites, the relieving officer, saw
him walk into the office of tho. union the other day,
and his dissatisfaction was not removed upon the
fellow's application for the sum of 10, to take, as he
said, his clothes out of pawn, although it was ac•
companied with the assurance that be would never
it,k the union for another farthing in any shape or
way during the rest of his life.
Alderman Gums said the defendant bad not only
given great tronae to the officers of the union, but i
had pursued a course of conduct calculated to inter-
fere with the advantages to which poor claimants
were entitled by checking the usual operations of
charity,
The defendant was then sentenced to imprisonment
and hard labour for one month, for having with per-
fect ability to support himself become chargeable to
the psrish to which he had applied.
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Wm. Rourke, who wcs charged about a week
back with being concerned with others in the murder
of a Mrs. Hourigan and her son, at a place near Bruff,
in the county of Limerick, about three years ago, and
discharged for want of sufficient evidence to convict,
was again placed at the bar before Alderman Kelly
on the same charge,' having been again apprehended
in accordance with the wishes of the Irish authorities,
who were apparently ignorant that he had been dis-
charged.

The Chief Clerk, after reading over the depositions
taken on several previous examinations, informed
the worthy Alderman that the prisoner at the bar
had been apprehended in consequence of certain in-
formation obtained from the police at Bruff. He had
undergone several examinations, and was at length
discharged by Alderman Finnic, who complained very
much of the gross neglect displayed by the Irish au-
thorities to the requirements of this Court in the
prisoner's case. Information had been sent to the in-
spector of police at Bruff, who shortly after sent a very
cool reply, furnishing no further particulars concern-
ing the murder, but merely stating that he had re-
ferred the communication of this Court to the super-
intendent. No further answer was returned, and the
prisoner was kept in confinement, awaiting the plea-
sure, or leisure, of the superintendent of police at
Bruff. A communication was made on the Bth of
the present month to the head of the constabulary at
Dublin, but no answer was returned. On the direc-
tion of Alderman Firmis a subsequent communica-
tion was made on the 14th, laying the whole of the
particulars connected with the case before the Court,
and the great neglect of the authorities in Ireland,
before the Secretary of State, who communicated
forth with with the Irish authorities. In consequence
of this a letter was received on the 17th, dated the
16th (eight days after the official letter from this
Court), requesting the magistrate to hold Rourke in
custody, as they had every reason to believe that he
was one of the parties implicated in the murders of
the Hourigans.
Alderman KELLY said, under these circumstances,
and seeing from the evidence that the prisoner must
have been in London at the time the murder was
committed, he thought there could be no plausible
pretext for detaining him longer in custody. If it
were true, as had been sworn by several witnesses,
and he had no reason to doubt it, that prisoner had
been at work in London every day from the 3d of
March, 1847, to the 26th of March of the same year,
it was quite plain that he could not be concerned in
a murder which took place in Ireland about the mid-
dle of that period.
The Chief Clerk said that the communication re-
ceived from Dublin Castle on the 17th stated that an
officer would be dispatched to London to take the
prisoner over to Ireland, but no officer had as yet
arrived.

Alderman KELLY said it would not be right to
keep the prisoner longer incarcerated, when there IN as
not a tittle of evidence against him.
The officer here said he believed that the prisoner,
if set at liberty, would be forthcoming at any time
when called on, as he had frequently expressed his
willingness to appear, for the purpose of establishing
his own innocence.

Alderman KELLY said it certainly Appeared to him
a mark of innocence on the Ka or thp
uy Ultill sum 11 Diunuetlug lutuincr war. /IC
should nut feel justified in keeping him from his
work, and would therefore discharge him at once.
The prisoner wa* then discharged.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Just as Mr. Haatiatm. was about to quit the bench
on Saturday evening a tall and rather handsome-
looking German hesitatingly entered the witness-
box, and applied fur his advice under the following
extraordinary circumstances:—
The applicant, whose imperfect English greatly
heightened the ludicrous effrct his strange complaint
produced, stated that about three years ago he became
accidentally acquainted with a young woman of very
respectable family, and, his attentions having been
favourably received by her, the acquaintance ulti-
mately ripened into what be had every reason to
believe was a sincere affection upon both sides.
After the courtship had been carried on for some time
he had occasion to go into the country upon business
which was likely to occupy him for a considerable
period, and he, therefore, proposed to the lady that
they should consider each other as man and wife, and
that their mutual engagement should be terminated by
marriage upon a renewal of the intimacy on his again
reaching town. To this engagement, however,theyoung
woman very strongly objected upon the ground that,
as he was a foreigner, he might a /he interval meet
with some of his own countrywomen, break off the
acquaintance with her, and quit the country, leaving
her in a• very unhappy position. She therefore in-
sisted that he should marry her at once, and as he
had no reason to oppose to such a proposition, he
readily assented to it, and the ceremony was shortly
after solemnized. To his astonishment, however, his
wife, who displayed a proper degree of affection to-
wards him in other respects, and occupied the same
bedroom with him, would not consent to any matri-
monial intercourse, and notwithstanding his perse-
vering remonstrances, obstinately rejected all marital
overtures for a period of nearly six months, when, he
being tired of such a vexatious life, she consented
to a temporary separation, upon condition that he
allowed her a weekly maintenance, and divided
the furniture fairly between them. A whole
twelvemonth passed in this manner, when
one night she suddenly presented herself at
his house, and thinking that the cause of their
unhappiness would then be removed, he gladly again
received her, at her own earnest solicitation, and they
lived together for another three months, but with pre-
cisely the same result and the same persevering ob-
stinacy on her part. The affair now became of too
serious a nature to admit of any further temporizing,
and he therefore decisively insisted upon her quitting
his house for ever and going back to her friends, who
had upon several occasions exerted the interposition
of their good offices as far as they could do so with
propriety, hut with no beneficial effect. With great
reluctance his wife was induced to consent to this
arrangement for a final separation, but very soon after
repented of it, and asserted her right to be taken back
a third time, but he felt that such a course would be
wholly useless, from former experience, and therefore
refused to have anything more to do with her, upon
which she resolved upon course of persecution
and annoyance, which had become wholly insup-
portable, as he could not go anywhere lately with
out being perseveringly followed and importuned
by her. Ile therefore wished the magistrate's ad-
vice as to what course he should pursue, as, al-
though he still felt a sincere affection for his wife,
and would be but too happy to have her but for the
facts he had referred to, he was in hopes that the cir-
cumstances were such as would entitle him to a legal
separation from such an extraordinary woman, and
that he would be enabled to marry another with na-
tural feelings and endowments, or the only course left
him was to throw up his employment altogether, and
quit this country for ever.
Mr. Iliaesttm. asked him how long he had been
married to his wife altogether ? Applicant—Two
years, but I will note hal her any more ; I will haf
anoder, I most.

Mr. IIAMMILL expressed his regret that be had no
power to help him, and saying that this was certainly
one of the most extraordinary applications ever made
to him, advised the applicant to institute a suit in the
Consistorial Court for a divorce, if he had the means
of so doing, and as a first step to that end to place
himself in the hands of one of the proctors, who
would, no doubt, soon put him in the way of obtain-
ing the object he sought for.
The German thanked the magistrate for the sug-
ge‘tion' .bat left the court in a state, apparently, of
perfect cloqbt, and mystification.
LAMBETH.
Julia Rigby and William Jones were placed at the
bar before Mr. Elliott foi final examination on the
following charge of robbery :
Mr. Frederick Hermitage of No. 66, Brook.-street,
Lambeth, deposed that on the night of Sunday werk,
at about eleven o'clock, while on his way home,. the
female prisoner stopped him in Pleasant -place, near to
his residence, and asked hisn to treat her to some-
thing to drink, and instantly made a snatch at his
watch, which was in his left hand waistcoat pocket.

"So great was the force she used that the ring, of
the guard gave way, and just then the male prisoner,
who had been previously standing at a little distance
off, came up, and he (witness) distinctly saw the female
pass her hand towards his. As soon as she did so the
man exclaimed, " Look sharp, Julia," and both ran
off in different directions. Witness followed the wo-
man until he met with a constable, and then gave her
into custody, and on her way to the station she said
that if he did not charge her with the offence she
would return the watch.
Policeman Henry Morton, 63 L, said he took the
male prisoner into custody at two o'clock that morn-
ing, but before doing so told him he wanted him for
being concerned with Julia Rigby in stealing a
watch. The prisoner at first denied all knowledge of
►he transaction, but subsequently admitted it. The
witness added that he was present when the fetneie
prisoner had been tried, convicted, and sentenced to
three months imprisonment at Kingston Assizes on I
charge of felony.
Both the prisoners, who declined offering any de-
fence, were fully committed for trial.

TH A 411 ES.
Thomas Beverley, master of the schooner Vivid,
appeared to a warrant which was issued on Saturday,
charging him with indecently assaulting Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Hay, wife of a respectable shipwright, re-
siding at Wapping.
Mr. Barrel!, of White Hart-court, Lombard-street,
attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Smith fur the
defence.
The prosecutrix, a delicate-looking young woman,
in answer to que.tions from her solicitor, stated she
left London fur Peterhead, in Scotland, by the Vivid,
on the 20th of June, and the voyage lasted fora week.
She was the only female on board, and occupied the
state-room ; the defendant, who was master of the
vessel, and up to that time a friend of her husband,
pledging himself to take charge of her, and
to see that she was comfortable, as she wire
advised to take a short sea voyage for the benefit
of her health. About three o'clock in the
morning of the 21st (the day after the vessel sailed)
she was awakened by finding the prisoner Jyinit,.
beside her on her bed. tier back was towarkft,
and he laid his hand indecently upon het A*
attempting to turn her round. She told him titir:
he did nut leave, she would scream, and alarm 'gut
crew ; and that she should certainly inform her hua;a
baud of the circumstance ; to which he replied,
" Don't mind—no one need know anything about
it," and again renewed the attempt, but desisted when
she again threatened to rouse the crew by her screams.
She arrived at Peterhead on the 29th June, and neat
day wrote a letter (produced) to her husband, stating
what had occurred, having previously made a memo-
randum whilst on board.

To Mr. Is:Guam—The prisoner was in the spot
tnent about ten minutes. bier husband went instriee
diately to Peterhead on the receipt of the letter, but
the Vivid had again left nine hours before his arri.
val. He was delayed by some business at Peterheisci
and the Vivid bad again left London before his re-
turn. Her husband had always been a friend to the
prisoner, and had lent him money. Captain BeVkr•
ley was a married man, and the father of children

trate at Scotland, being an utter stranger there. She
did mention the circumstance to Mr. Moody, one of
the owners of the vessel, who advised her, for her own
sake, as well as for that of Mrs. Beverley, to ray
nothing about it.
On re-examination, Mrs. Hay stated that though
abe had shown no marked altered manner to the
prisoner, she was so desirous of quitting the ves-
sel that, though the weather was stormy on its ar-
rival at Peterhead, she went ashore in an open pilot.
boat.
George -Hay, a lad between 13 and 14, tiecolif
panied hie mother-in-law on the voyage, and .slegt•
in an adjoining cabin with his brother, nine ynnts
old. On the morning after they sailed he heard an
altercation in the state room, during which the pro-
secutrix threatened some one that she would scream
out and alarm the crew. The noise lasted about ten
minutes. He afterwards asked his mother-in-law
what it was about, and she told him it was not fit for
him to know. -
To Mr. Smith—He was rather sick, and had trot
spirit enough to go into the state room at the time.
Mr. Smith, in defence, said it would be impoeiiibliso
to answer the charge otherwise than inferentiilly.
Was it likely that a woman, to whom virtue should
be more dear than life, would not at one.re e a a e reed
Minor considerations at once overboard, with prudence
into the bargain. An Englishwoman who gave such,
an alarm would at once excite the sympathy cat-aiikaa!,
Englishman for her protection. She had not, as
would show by the evidence of the whole Cypfllfri,
altered her familial demeanour towards the defeo -
after the alleged assault. It was distressing to the
captain, who felt himself, knowing his own inrip-
cience, to be in an awkward position, having nn
positive evidence. The case was prima facie im-
probable. The assault was alleged to hoe taken
place the day after the vessel sailed. No complaint
had been made to the authorities in Scotland; thes
was no change in complainant's demeanour toward*
the captain; and it was scarcely possible that any
man holding such a situation would run such a risk.
He called John Allen, the mate, who proved that
during the voyage Mrs. Hay was as familiar with the
captain, duriug the whole voyage,
as any lady could
be with a stranger.
Mr. INGHAM—There can be no doubt he has been
guilty
of the assault.

EIGHT LIVAS LOST LV THE 111ERSEI%
LivearooL, MoNDAT.—At an early hour this
morning the town was startled by the report that an '
accident of a very melancholy character took place
on the Mersey yesterday evening, and that th • catas-
trophe was attended by a loss of eight lives. From
the details of the affair, as we have been enabled to
collect them, we learn that in the course of yesterday
afternoon a number of persons from the Toxteth side
of the river took possession of a small boat, a shrimpey,
having one mast, with mainsail, without the know-
ledge or consent of the owners. They purposed
crossing over to Easthain, and there spending the
afternoon.
Having got the boat fairly afloat 14 individuals,
including two children, one four and the other seven
years of age, took their places on board. Among the
party was a young woman who had been married in
the course of last week, and her sister. These two
females bad charge of the children alluded to. They
started for Eastham about two o'clock, and of their
movements little can be learned except that at the
tap-room in Nichols's Hotel they bad been regaling
themselves during the evening with drink. After
doing so they re-embarked, and were proceeding to
return home. At the time there was a very strong
inflowing tide, and the wind also blew rather fiercely
up the river.
At about eight o'clock, as the Eastham ferry-boat
was leaving Eastham, considerable sensation was
created on board by the alarm that the small boat
just alluded to had suddenly sunk some hundred or
two yards from the shore.
A party on board the steamer, with whonx we
have conversed, informs us that upon looking in the
direction in which the boat disappeared, a number
of persons were observed struggling in the waters
At the time the most intense anxiety prevailed.
Without much delay the boat belonging to the
steamer was got under weigh ; before doing so silo
sustained some slight damage ; besides, one oar was
lost, which, as a matter of course, materially delayed
her. The boat appears to have been manned by
the mate and several others, and having proceeded
in the direction, succeeded in picking up three men.
and a boy.
During this time the steamer also moved towards
the scene of the disaster, whilst the boat, in the mean-
time, with all possible dispatch, took those rescued
and placed them on board the steamer, where they
were kindly and promptly attended to by Mr. Su-
perintendent Ride, who fortunately hal pened to b 6
on board the steamer, with a number or friends, at
the time. Having delivered her charge, the boat re-
turned to the scene of the accident once more for the
purpose of rescuing the others.
A young but gallant seaman, Captain Stebbington,
who was one of Mr. Superintendent Ride's party,
jumped overboard and swam to the assistance of the
drowning parties,
and in conjunction with the
steamer's boat saved two more.
Of the individuals picked up, two
