VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir JAMES WIGRAM.
M4GREGOR V. TOPIIAM.
The Court was engaged during the day with the further
hearing of the above part-heard cause. We shall give the
particulars with the judgment.

QUEEN'S BENCII.-f THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco after Term.)
TILE QUEEN CN THE PROSECUTION OF THE BLACKWALL RAIL-
WAY COMPANY, V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE LAND-
TAX FOR TIIE CITY OF LONDON. -MANDAMUS.
In this case a rule nisi had been obtained for a mandamus,
calling upon the defendants to hear an appeal against
their assessment, made by the applicants, and to
examine witnesses in support of that appeal. The
Railway Company had appealed against the assess-
ment, and defendants had refused to hear them by
counsel, but had heard them by their solicitor, who proposed
to call witnesses to prove the value of the property. This
the Commissioners refused to do, relying on the valuation of
their assessor. Cause was shown against the rule to- day,
and it was contended that this was not such a case of re••
fusing as warranted the interference of the Court. The Com-
missioners had in fact heard the appeal, and if the parties
felt themselves aggrieved they might have gone to the
sessions.

Lord DENMAN, in giving judgment, said that it could not
be contended that the defendants had not heard the appeal.
The refusal was an irregularity, but not such as would justify
the Court in saying that the appeal had not been heard. The
rule must, therefore, be discharged.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, 'Westminster, before the LORD CRIED'
BARON and a Special Jury.)
BRITTEN V. KEELING.
The Court, this morning, was densely crowded the moment
it was opened, great curiosity being excited to hear the de-
tails of this case. It was an action for the recovery of
damages from the defendant for alleged criminal conversation
with the plaintiff's wife. The Solicitor-General was leading
counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Fitzroy Kelly for the defendant.
Before, however, the pleadings were opened, Mr. Kelly rose
and said, he appeared on behalf of the defendant, but being
anxious as much as possible to spare the feelings of the par-
ties to this most unhappy business, he had advised those who
instructed him, to consent to a verdict being taken for the
plaintiff, with 3,0001. damages. Such verdict was entered
accordingly.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.):
(Sittings at Nisi Prins.)
The cases which came before the Court this morning were
devoid of interest except to the parties concerned.

COURT OF REVIEW-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. K. L. BRUCE.)
His Honour sat this morning as Chief Judge in Bank-
ruptcy, and disposed of several cases which involved no point
of public interest.

-------
MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
James Timms, a bargeman, was charged with having stolen
a quantity of coals from a wharf on the Paddington canal. It
had been often complained that coals had been taken by
persons passing up and down in boats, and police-constable
Hamburg, 102 D, while on duty there this morning, observed
the prisoner very cooly taking the quantity of firing he re-
quired from a heap of coals on the bank. He (witness) went
up the towing-path and took him into custody.
The prisoner denied having stolen them ; but he was fully
committed for trial.

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Whitfield, carman, in the employ of Messrs. Car-
penter, of the Greenwich Steam-mills, was charged before
Mr. Cottingharn with stealing a sack of flour; and John liar.
cry, living in the New-cut, was charged with receiving the
flour, knowing it to have been stolen. On the premises of
the last-named prisoner two waggon-loads of stolen propertLf
were discovered.

It appeared that at a late hour the preceding night. Brooks,
an active policeman of the L division, took Whitfield into
custody in the act of delivering a sack of flour at the ether
prisoner's house. The firm having been apprised of the cir-
cumstance, it was then ascertained that their carman had no
instructions to leave any flour at the premises of the other
prisoner, and when they were subsequently examined, up-
-wards of three waggon-loads of stolen property, consisting of
timber and furniture, was discovered.
The prisoners declined saying anything at that stage
of the inquiry, and the Magistrate remanded them until
Saturday, refusing to accept bail for Harvey's appearance,
George Roohwood, a potmaii in the service of Mr. Herring,
landlord of the George Canning, was charged with plunder-
ing his employer of upwards of 401. •
The prisoner was in the habit of delivering beer and spirits
to his master's customers; and as Mr. Herring was about to
quit the premises, he discovered that his man had receivcd
money to the above amount, for which he had not accounted.
When he was taxed with the offence he immediately ab-
sconded, and was taken into custody the preceding night.
The prisoner was remanded.

shall be under the painful necessity of commiting
him for contempt of Court."

The Venerable Judge then sentenced the prisoner
to a month's imprisonment, with hard labour, in his
own Penitentiary at Islington.

APTOICE FROM TUB CROWD—If the whole Ca-
binet were sentenced to a month's imprisonment, with
hard labour, it would be no more than they deserve.
The prisoner heard the sentence unmoved, and was
immediately taken away in the custody of two officers
of the Court, in order to have his head shaved, and
be dressed in the usual prison costume.
The sentence appeared to g;ve unmingled satisfac-
tion to the whole Court, and the "eldest inhabitant "
was heard to say, that he never remembered to have
witnessed such an ebullition of popular extacy.
