ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 25.

Mr. TURNER moved, in a case the name of which
he did not state, for an injunction to restrain the de-.
fendents from receiving two sums, one a sum of
8,000/. Consol4, and the other a sum of 9,000/. 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 cancAled, and that
the defrndants (the daughters) should be restrained
by inj'anction from receiving the stock, or from pro-
curieig any transfer of it. The testator died on the
20'.:h of September, 1849.
Lord LANGDALE granted the injunction until the
9th of Februnr2;-, and plaintiffs were to give notice if
they moved to continue the injunction.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Dennis Ryan and John MKenna were brought
before the L )rd Mayor for final examination upon
the charge of having assaulted Lewis Nutley, 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, Biehopsgate, on duty, and saw
the prisoners with others making a great noise. I
told them to go home. They passed on, but a woman
..ho was with them returned and seized my hat.
Ryan then came up, caught me round the waist, and
wi'h the assistance of M‘lilenna and another man,
threw me down on the back of my head. I was then
struck two severe blows on my head. I can't say
with whit, but I believe with my truncheon, which I
was drawing when I was knocked to the ground. I
can't say who struck me, 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
end heard the policemen advising three men and a
wemen to go home, and I saw Ryan hit the police-
ma.n with his list and th.-n kick him and take his
I afterwards sew Ryan run away, and I fol-
lowed him, calling Police." lle dropped his hat,
and he acknowledged at the station-house that the
he...was his. While I was running after him I heard
bIC:4 a being strut c, and a great noise in the direction
-e!eich Ryan had just left.
I,i:li:fence of the policeman, in confirmation of vari-
ee, perte of the starement made above, was taken.
dr. F. T. Van Hernert, medical student and dreg-
at Sr. Tnomas's Hospital, said Nutley was
!-re,eght into the hospital at a quarter to four o'clock
he morning of the 6th inst, and I examined
and found three severe wounds on the scalp, and
he was suffering from the effects of a slight con-
ee--iion of the brain. There was a wound in the back
the head which appeared to result from a fall.
vo 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
lime. I have attended him since, and he has gone
en better than I expected.
Ryan, upon being asked in the usual terms by the
LORD 3,llYORwhether 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
be too 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 for one
myself, but was taken into custody, and afterwards
charged at the station-house with an assault which I
had never committed.
M'Kenna 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.
Toe prisoners were then committed for trial, and
the City S3licitor 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 Mach, of 6, Queen's-court, Holborn, was
brought up for final examination, charged with being
in Christopher-court, opposite Sr. Alartin's-le-Grand,
with intent to commit a felony.
The prisoner was sentenced to three months' im-
prioontnent. _ _

The S.?cretary of the Metropolitan Society for the
Pro'ection 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
exactly the same line of business. He produced a
letter which had been addressed to Mr. W. Agars, of
North Barton, in Yorkshire, informing that gentle-
man that he was entitled to unclaimed dividends in
sock to the amount of 8001., and upon the receipt. of
23,. he (the writer) would give the necessarymfx-
ra-Ition to obtain it. This letter was signed " George
Wilson, agent for the recovery of unclaimed dividends,
14, John's-street, London." The society caused
i..quiries to be made at the place, and found that he
di', not keep the house, but letters were taken in for
. He thought it would therefore be useful for the
rel is to know tht this new adventurer might, or
nigh` not, if occasion required, be as readily found as
Joseph Ady, who was a housekeeper of long standing.
Aldermansaid, he had received several
,ffek-3 of such information, to Which he had not been
-",olish as to give any attention, and the publication
the society's inquiry might be of some benefit to
