BAIL COURT.—(TIIIS DAY.)
(BEfire Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
IN RE 3IOSES. • •
Mr. SIMOND6 was Instructed by Mr. Theresa James
Moses, an attorney of the court, to apply to his Lord-
ship for leave to amend the roll, by striking out the
name of Moses. The gentleman was admitted in 1848,
and his father bad since consented to advance him a con-
siderable sum.of money to purchase a practice, on con-
dition that he adopted the name of Thomas James.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—But why should the roll be
altered, which is'right?
Mr. SDIOND9 replied that the gentleman now passed
by the name of James. There were two precedents fcr
this application. The first was that of a gentleman
who, on searching his pedigree, found that he had been
called by a wrong name, and on representing the circum-
stances to the court, it was held that he could change his
name without going to the expense of a royal licence.
The next case was that of Mr. Thomas I)oggitt, who
was admitted as Thomas Doggitt Inglodew; but on sec-
ee7ding to some property left him by his mother, he ob-
tained the leave of the Court to adopt the surname of
Doggitt, the-maiden name cf his mother, without ob-
taining an Act of Parliament or a royal licence for the
purpose. Here the father of the gentleman had ad-
vanced him 800/. to purchase a business, and for some
time passed he had dropr el the name of Moses, and
was repv known as Thomas Jaaies.
Mr.. Justice COLF.RIDGE said the application was
somewhat novel to him, and he must therefore take time
to consider it.
The Court afterwards sat at Nisi Prius ett`C3, and dis-
posed of several undi f, nded ca es.

soner wai secured and taken to the station.

GREECE.

The Allgemeirce Zeitung has letters from Athens,
of the 2d instant. The let French steamer which
arrived in that city from Marseilles brought a
litter- from M. Trikupis, the Hellenic Ambas-
sador at Paris. M. Trikupis informs his Go-
vernment Gf the arrival of another Russian note,
addressed. to the Czlr's Ambassadors in London
and Paris, and dated from Sr. Petersburgh of the 23d
February. •According to this note the Czar's
verntnent insists on the return of the captured vessels
before the riff tirs of England and Greece can he
allowed to enter into nearer consideration. But if
the vessels are not returned, adds Count.Nesselrode,
the czAr's (.rovernment will not consent to recognize
any of the proposals. which Baron Gros may have to
make. . _
