LAW AND POLICE.

FATAL AFFRAY IN EDINBURGIL-At the Edinburgh
Police-court, a young man, named James Tweedio, was
remitted on a charge of culpable homicide, in causing the
death of a gentleman's servant, named John Kerr, in
Princes-street. It appears that on Wednesday evening
last Tweedie, Kerr, and two ladies were taking shelter
fram the rain under the porch of the Bedford Hotel,
when Kerr, it is said, used insulting language towards the
ladies. Tweedie reprimanded Kerr for his conduct, and
during an altercation which ensued Kerr struck Tweedie a

blow on the face. Tweedie did not retaliate at the time,
but he followed Kerr along Princes-street, and, when
opposite Waverley Bridge, attacked him and felled him to
the grcu"-1. Kerr's head came in contact with the kerb-
stone, a-1," h's skull was fractured. He was able to walk
home, but he afterwards sank rapidly, and died the follow.
ing night.

IMPORTANT DECISION WITII REGARD TO • BANKS.--At
LC sittings of the Court for the Consideration of Crown

Cases Reserved, the case of Regina v. Brackenbridgea;
others came on for hearing. The prisoner was indicted
for engraving on a plate part of a promissory note pur
porting to be a banknote of the British Linen Company
(who were bankers in Scotland). The indictment was
framed under the 24th and 25th of Victoria, cap. 98, sec-
tion IG, which declared that whoever should, without
lawful authority, engrave, &c., any promissory note, &c.,
of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England
Or of Ireland, or of any other body, corporation, or person
carrying on business as bankers, should be guilty of felony ;
but in the 55th section of the same Act it was stated that
it should extend to Scotland. The case was tried before
Mr. Justice Smith, when it was urged that, as this was a
forgery upon a bank in Scotland, this Act did not apply.
The counsel for the Crown urged that the 55th section, con-
taining the exception as to Scotland, was not intended by
the Legislature to prevent a prosecution for a forgery com-
mitted in England upon a bank in Scotland being sustained.
The Chief Baron said this was a very important question,
but the Court were of opinion that a bank in Scotland or
in the colonies must be taken to ho included in this Act.
The conviction was, therefore, affirmed.
Is A CLERGYMAN ON DITTY LIABLE TO PAY TOLL ?—ln
the Court of Queen's Bench an appeal of the Rev. C.
Layard against a man named Overy was heard. This was
a case relating to a claim by a clergyman of exemption
from toll on going to visit a sick parishioner. It was an
appeal by the perpetual curate of St. John's, Wembly,
against a conviction by magistrates of Middlesex at Edg-
ware for denying payment of toll on the turnpike-road
between Rickmansworth and Sudbury. -The facts were
that the rev. defendant was sent for on the day in ques-
tion to visit a sick parishioner within his parish, and that,
he went to visit her in a pony carriage drawn by one
pony, and that he took with him in carriagethethe
hiswhole
