LAW AND POLICE.—This ray.

SINGULAR CASE.—In the Court of Probate and Divorce
an application was made by Alice Phillipson with regard
to the will of a person named Seed, for the purpose of
obtaining a grant ad litem, and to be able to receive certain
dividends. The facts appeared to be these. The testator
died within the Palatinate of Lancaster in 1849, and left
a will by which he bequeathed his property to a William
Wilson and to his wife, both of whom had since
died. At their death the property was to go in
two moieties—one to a Mr. Stretch and the other
to Mary Ann - Wilson ; the former was dead, and
the latter was in Peru with her husband. Between
the executors, Thomborough and Phillipson, there had
been a suit instituted in the County Palatine of Lancaster,
but in October last Phillipson died, and there was no one
to represent him, or to administer the estate, or to continue
the suit. There were several mortgages on the estate
which ought to be taken up, and it would be to the advan-
tage of Mary Ann Wilson that there should be a recelvei
to distribute the dividends and to continue the suit.--The
learned Judge-Ordinary said his difficulty was. as to the
question of a receiver. He would grant a rule ad litem,
but he would consult the Registrar as to a receiver beinc,
appointed.

• EXTENSIVE FRAUDS ON CITY MERCHANTS.--Alexandex
Hannah, 23, and William Patterson, 34, were 1 r
up at the Mansion House, on the char,e of
fraudulently obtaning goo's to a large amount .'within
three months of their bankruptcy. The prisoners had
carried on lusiness on a very extraordinary system of
fraud. It appeared that in the year 18G6 they opened
a grock,r's shop in New North-road, Islington, and
exchanged names—Patterson,. who took the principal
part in the business, taking the name of Hannah, and
Hannah adopting that of Patterson. For some time their
transactions with the wholesale merchants in the City
from whom they obtained their goods were conducted with
great regularity, the payments being in cash. Latterly,
however, they obtained large quantities of teas on credit,
and it was shewn that the teas were immediately trans-
mitted to Glasgow, where they were sold by a firm
of auctioneers. In this manner £1,200 worth of goods
were disposed of within a period of three months, of which
the prisoners had netted between £7OO and £BOO, and at the
close of the year the shop in the New North-road was
shut up, and the prisoners disappeared. On the pe it.° )
of one of their creditors they were then declared bank-
rupts, and shortly afterwards they were apprehended at a
village in the West of Scotland, and brought to London by
Detective Bull. Sonic additional evidence was now ad-
duced on the part of the prosecution, and the prisoner,.
were again remanded.

UTTERING• COUNTERFEIT MONEY AT THE " ALHAMBI?
PALACE."—llichard Cronin and Edward Charles Jackson,
two young men, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with uttering two
counterfeit half-crowns at the " Alhambra,Palace," Leices-
ter-square.—Laura Crouch, a barmaid at the Alhambra,
said that on the previous night the prisoner Cronin came
to the bar she was at and called for a glass of ale, and in
payment tendered her half-a-crown. Thinking it was
light, she asked the lad who acted as money-taker at the
bar whether it was bad, and he said it was, and bent it.
Cronin then paid her with a good half-sovereign, and on
the lad giving back the bad half-crown he left the bar.—
Mr. John Beeves, superintendent of the Alhambra,Palace,
said that for the last fortnight a considerable number of
bad half-crowns had been taken by the barmaids, and the
prisoner and two others were suspected of passing them ;
and last night Cronin was caught in the act of
passing a bad half-crown. Cronin then left that
part of the bar, and went to another part, where another
half-crown had been passed during the evening, and on his
(Mr. items) giving Cronin into custody, a bad half-
crown was found upon him.—Mr. Tyrwhitt discharged
Jackson, but remanded Cronin on bail.

HIGH TIDES AND FLOODS.—The remarkably high
tide of Saturday last has ,caused much damage along
the northern coast. Early in the morning the water
in the river Tyne rose to an extraordinary height,
in consequence of the vast volumes of water
rushing from the upper reaches of the river. Be-
tween three and four o'clock the water rose to its highest
pitch, and all houses, workshops, shipbuilding-yards, and
quays contiguous to the river were overflowed and sub-
merged for several hours. Serious damage is reported to
have occurred to property on both sides of the river. The
cause of the flood is assigned to the recent heavy rains we
have had, and a sudden rise of the sea in consequence of
the prevalence of north-east winds in the German Ocean.
The freshet and the flow of the sea meeting, the water was
thereby forced out of its current into other channels. The
people living in houses in the immediate neighbourhood
of Wilmington were startled out of their sleep by hearing
the watsr rushing into their bed rooms through the
crevices of the door and windows. Considerable conster-
nation was at first created, and no little amount of con-
fusion and alarm prevailed on the removal of the furniture,
&c., of the occupants. At Jarrow and the Tyne Dock, as
in higher parts of the river, the water rose to an extraor-
dinary height, and overflowed the banks and quays. At
Jarrow portions of the quay walls were washed away.
Shortly after three o'clock the tide in the river Wear rose
to a tremendous height, such as has not been experienced
during the last 25 years. Considerable damage has been
done in several places in the vicinity of the river. At
Stockton the Toes overflowed its banks on both sides,
consequent on the spring tides and the "fresh." A sheet
of water surrounded the dwellings, and flooded the pig.-
genies belonging to the poorer class.
DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM BATTY.--After a long
and suffering illness from asthma this well-known eques-
trian traveller and proprietor of Astloy's Theatre died on
Friday last at 2.30 p.m., in the 68th year of his age. The
mournful event took place at his own pretty villa, Neville
Lodge, Qt.
