LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY la
CRIMINAL INPORMAYION.
Mr. BROUGHAM opposed a rule callilfg on the Publishers of
the _English Gentleman Newspaper to show cause why,a criminal
information should not be sled against them for an alleged libel
on. Mr. Rothschild. -The objectionable article imputed to Mr.
Rothschild the withdrawing of a large sum of money from certain
Bankers during the panic. The statement was wholly without
foundation.

The Count' after hearing the arguments of Mr. BROUGHAM
and Mr. HoLT, enlarged the rule with respect to two of the de-
fendants, and made it absolute against the supposed author of the
libel.

TUE MAYOR. OP TRICOONY.
The COURT was moved to enlarge a rule for an attachment
against the Mayor of Tregony for not obeying a peremptory man-
damus. The mandamus was obtained by Mr. ScArmErr, in
consequence of some irregularity at an election in the Borough of
Tregony. The Gentleman to whom it was directed kept away
from the Borough after notice had been served at his house, and
the rule for an attachment was obtained.
The COURT were of opinion that that there was not sufficient
ground to enlarge the rule, and therefore it was made absolute.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE went to the House of Lords at one
o'clock.

SECONDARIES' OFFICE.
kUItIOUS DRIVING.--DUBOIS V. CIODILFROY.
This was an action brought by Stephen Dubois, a poor silk-
weaver, residing in Pelham-street, Spitalfields, against Mr. God&
froy, a skein silk dyer, living in the same neighbourhood, to re-
cover compensation for an injury inflicted by the defendant on the
plaintiff's child (J. Dubois) by driving his gig over his body ; as
also compensation for the loss of plaintiff's wife's services during
the period she was attending on ber child; and further, for the
amount of the expencas of medical attendance during the period
of the child's illness. It appeared in evidence, that Mr. Peter
Godefroy is a wealthy skein silk dyer, residing in Pelham-street,
and that on the 29th of July last, about half-past six o'clock in the
afternoon, as James Dubois, one of the plaintiff's children, was
playing near his • father's door, in Pelham-street, where they
reside, on the curb stone of the pavement, the defendant
(Mr. Godefroy) drove his chaise or gig, drawn by a very res-
tive horse, at a furious rate down the street. The wheel of the
gig passed over the body of the child, who, from the rapidity with
which it came, was quite unable to avoid it. The child was
very seriously hurt, and it was necessary to call in the assistance
of a medical man, under whose hands the child remained for a
considerable time. The doctor's bill was paid by the plaintiff.
It appealed also that the plaintiff's wife, whose industry contri-
buted to support her large and infant family, was, from her fright,
anxiety, and attendance at the bed of her child, unable to attend
to her loom for three weeks. Her husband and family lost the be-
nefit of her services, which were worth 100. a week.
A man of the name of Regan stated, that he was present when
the gig passed over the body of the child. He said he saw the
circumstance, and that it would have been impossible for even the
most active person to avoid the gig, it was coming down at such
an alarming rate. The child, after the accident, was brought into
his apartment, and was bleeding from four different wounds in
the head. He was also much injured about the body.
Charles Paul, a weaver, was also present at this accident. He
stopped the gig, and got from Mr. Godefroy his curd.
Several other witnesses were called; who fully proved the case
which was stated.

The Secondary charged the Jury, who, after a few minutes'
consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damaget 15/.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—T. Hart (a boy), J. Gall, and P. God-
' frey, were finally examined, the former charged with robbing hii
master, Mr. Francomb, Leghorn and straw-hat-warehouseman,
of Newgate- street, of property.to a large amount, and the two
latter with inciting him thereto, and receiving the property. Mr.
F. stated, that he had extracted all the particulars of the several
transactions from Hart himself, who was willing to turn King's
evidence. He was about to repeat the confession, when Mr.
'Humphreys, for the prisoner, objected that such a statement could
not be heard, because it could not be received as evidence, and the
objection was allowed. 'Mr. F. again pressed that Hart should
be made a witness, as, otherwise, he could prove nothing against
the others; and it would be shocking to suffer a gang to escape,
who had sought an acquaintance with a tradesman's errand-boy,
fur the purpose of seducing him to rub his master. The Alder-
man (Glyn), however, saidt he had not the power to admit him
, a witness; and the boy, not choosing to implicate his accomplices
unconditionally, was committed for stealing a box of goods, worth
' 801. which he was to carry to an inn, but which he surrendered to
one Cleghorn ; while Gobby and Godfrey wete discharged.
BOW-STREET._John' Russell was charged with stealing a
gold watch, a diamond pin, and other articled, in the house of
Mr. Davies, a jeweller, in Southampton-street, Strand. On Wed-
nesday week last, the prisoner called at Mr. Davies's, and said he
wanted a diamond pin made for him. Some patterns were shewn
him, and he fixed upon one ; but, in the course of conversation,
he said, as a medical student, he was in the habit of assisting
at dissections, and he thought the shank of the pin might be
inconvenient to him; a brooch ho said would probably suit
him better. Mr. Davies said he was of the same opinion,
and added, that in a few days he should have a better
sortment of that article, and perhaps he would do him the
favour to call' again. In this he readily- acquiesced, and
yesterday seinnight be called again, selected a brooch and '
one or two other trifling articles, and -said he was liv-
ing with Mr. Flendy, a surgeon, in Waterloo-road, one of
whose cards he produced, and perhaps Mr. Davies would be
good enough to send his purchases there, and they would be in-
stantly paid for. As he was leaving the room, he seemed sud-
denly to recollect himself, and said he had almost forgotten that
he should like to look at some patterns of mourning rings. Mr.
Davies went to another part of the house to procure them, leav-
ing one of his daughters in the room with the prisoner. While.
be was gone, the prisoner told Miss Davies it had just mitred
to aim that he had a most particular engagement, that it was
then past the hour of appointment, and that Mr. Davies could
bring the patterns with Win when lie called with the other things ;
he then left the house. Mr. Davies thought this sudden de-
parture rather singular, but suspected nothing wrong, and went
to Mr. Hendy's house with his goods, where he learned that there
was no such person living there, but that'a young man, exactly an-
swering the descriptiod as to person, had called there that morn-
ing to purchase some articles, and had taken away one of Mr.
Hendy's cards. Mr. Davies hastened home, and then found that
he had been robbed of a gold watch, and the other articles men-
tioned, which were lying on a glass-case close to where the pri-
soner stood, and no person except Mr. D.'s family had been in
the room but the prisoner. Miss Davies bad observed him draw
his hand hastily across the cue on her turning round to look at
him. Mr. Davies repaired to several houses in the trade, and put
them on their guard; and on Wednesday the prisoner went to a
jeweller's in Clerkenwell with a similar story, and being desired to.
call again in the evening, notice was given to Mr. Davies, and on
the prisoner's second appearance he was apprehended. In defence
he said he knew nothing of the transaction, and was remanded till
Wednesday.

TATTERSALL'S, . MAT 1.
A wiry crowded attendance during the whole of the AN ,rnoon
but the settlement of the bets on last week's Racing efferstiited
the attention of all for a considerable time. When this lartir•
rentable btbin.Ns was arranged, and very large Amu( bad ex•
changed pockets, the betting commenced, but was far trip
being heavy ; indeed, except at intervals, it was very languid.
The odds on the Derby have settled themselves into a Shilsi
which was not generally expected. The General was backed
very freely ; and it is principally by those who stand very hea?y
against him. The Moslem rose to be second favourite, but 'e
not backed so a large amount ; Dervise and Advance sireilg
looking up. Very little was done on the Oaks and St. 14g.r.
