LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CIIANCERY,—(Thus DAY.)
MANNING V. ROSE.
HiS LORDSHIP desired a few days ago, after having
Stated the impression of his mind in the case, to be fur-
nished with minutes on both sides of the order ; to-day,
he said, he found the two sets of minutes to differ ex-
tremely, and that he would have to take time to model them
in such a way as to make them reconcilable. The parties
should have his order in the course of the week.
HARVEY v, HASTINGS.
This Motion was for an Injunction to restrain the de-
fendants from proceeding to drain the river Welland. It
stood over from a former day, that dates might be supplied.
The supplemental affidavit on the part of the plaintiff
stated, that the work complained of began in August last.
Counter affidavits, however, had been filed, which stated
that the work had been going on fur years; and further,
that if the defendants did- any thing contrary to the true
Meaning of the Act of Parliament, under which the work
Was going on, that Act itself authorised the plaintiff to put
an end to it, and which. this Court thought a pretty good
Injunction. Under all the circumstances, the Court thought
it right to dismiss the motion with costs.
IN TIIE MATTER OF HART, A BANKRUPT.
IVIL MONTAGU stated, that this was a matter in which
there was a petition for a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring
ItP the bankrupt, and also it rule. to show cause why it
should not issue. If the Court would dispose of the ques.
lion. where the costs were to come from to defray the con-
l'ePtoce of the bankrupt, that
.decision would probably pre-
vent considerable discussion. The bankrupt had been
nonitted by the Conunissioners, and the assignees had
▪ fused to pay
.the expences of bringing up the bankrupt,
NertrblY .to his request, for further examination ; but he
41, 411.) considered that the assignees were bound to pay
epences, as they were bound to pay the Commis-
-▪ utters fees tk,
,
11.110s:sett contra said, there was no estate out of
Which t° get the expences. The whole that had ever been
gOt
of the estate was 301. which had all gone long ago.

• RUSSPLI
Po% St • said,the an rup bk t had made most lin-
. No. atements respecting his affair's;
for instance, be had
'ltch an account had been made in 180, whereas the

water-mark of the paper showed the paper was not then
made.
_ _

His LORDSHIP would take this opportunity of saying he
thought it would be a great improvement, if the water-
mark were to be put upon both sides of the sheet of paper.
The rule was, that the expence of bringing up a bankrupt,
after having been committed, should be paid out of the
estate; but if there was no estate that rule, of course,
could not hold. This was a case for further examination,
and that the poor man might have every assistance possible,
his Lordship whispered into. Mr. M.'s ear that he (the
Lord Chancellor), himself, would pay the expellees out of
his own pocket. The bankrupt is in Newgate and the
Commissioners are in Lancaster.

Mr. RUSSELL then said his clients, the assignees, would
consent to the discharge of the prisoner, if he would only
render a satisfactory statement of.his affairs.
Mr. MONTAGU proposed that the assignees should fur-
nish him with a statement of what they wanted informs-

tion upon, and he would himself attend the prisoner at
Newgate, act both as Commissioner and Counsel in exa-
mining him strictly, and send the examination to the
assignees for their inspection.
Mr. RUSSELL assented to this.

His LORDSHIP advised them to take some prompt steps
ror the bankrupt's liberation, and he would take care of
the costs.

STEPHENS V. BUTTERWORTH.

Notice of a motion for an injunction was given for to-day,
but the defendant did not appear, and, therefore, the appli-
cation was granted pro coVesso. The injunction was to
restrain the defendant from publishing or selling a book,
called—" Advice to Solicitors in the passing of Bills
through Parliament," with Copies of the Standing Orders
of that House attached, &c.

His LORDSHIP did not know but it might be considered
a breach of privilege to publish the standing orders of the
House, and therefore granted thq injunction, subject to
the question, whether both parties, and also himself, ought
not to be committed on that ground.—(Laughter.)
Having gone through several other things, and said be
should see no person after to-day on business, being now
quite tired, but would attend in his room with Mr. Pen-
sum to-morrow, for the purpose of drawing some orders
in bankruptcies; he wished his audience health and happi-
ness till next season, and rose.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—(THIS DAY).
Mr. Commissioner LAW did not take his seat until
after eleven o'clock, having been engaged in his private

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-lIOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning Place, the officer, Mrs. Ft;rd, and the
cad, who were charged with having robbed a sailor, under-
went a final examination.

The LORD MAYOR said that upon a full consideration
of the evidence, although it satisfied him as to the in-
tentions of the parties, yet the sailor being drunk at the
time, he doubted whether there was evidence sufficient to
satisfy the minds of a jury. This being a capital offence,
requiring very strong evidence, he should discharge the
prisoners. He had heard nothing against the characters
of the two male prisoners.

BOW-STREET—(Trns DAY.)
Edward Jarvis was brought up on a warrant for having
assaulted Maria Pollard, who stated that the ' prisoner
came into here house on Monday, at Camden-town, and
struck her several blows with his hand. Being asked if
he was in any manner related to her, she replied in the
negative,_ but that he was married to ier aunt.
Mr. HALLS—Then he is your uncle ?
Miss Tollard—Certainly not, for he lies two other
wives. She then produced certificates of the prisoner's
marriage with one lady in 1797, with another on the 3d
of July, 1826, and with her aunt on the 10th of August
last. This circumstance created not a little surprise, more
particularly as it appeared that the three wives were now
alive.

The prisoner said that he had engaged a solicitor to ad-
vocate his cause, and as he (lid not attend, he was not
prepared to make any defence.
Mr. HALLS ordered him to find good bail, as it was
likely some other charge might be brought against him.
John Hanlon was brought before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE
on a charge of having; assaulted his wife, of which a black
selvage round her peeper was an eye-witness.
Mrs. Hanlan—l will not leave this place until justice be
done me for the assault, and must get a separation from
you (turning to her husband.)
Prisoner—Separation ! why, there is that already, I
don't want you to come near me ever again.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—I never take notice of words
that pass between natives of Ireland, for I never find them
sparing of that commodity, but when it comes to blows I
cannot pass it over. The prisoner must find bail.
They were then removed from the office, Mrs. Hank))
protesting against being sent off without her gold ring
and a separation.

MARYLEBONE.—(THis DAT. ) -
James Tessey was brought up on a charge of assaulting
Thomas Lister, baker. Lister stated, that about six weeks
ago the prisoner purchased some bread from him on credit,
but would not give his name on pretence that he would
pay in a few days. Witness continued to furnish him with
bread on the same loose terms till about a fortnight
ago, when the prisoner discontinued his visits. Witness
having ascertained where he lived, called with his account,
and said that he would not leave the house till he should
get payment. Prisoner desired him to wait about an
hour, until he returned and that he would be paid. • Pri.
soner then went out, but did not return at the end of three
hours, Witness then became impatient, and threatened
to, sue him before a Magistrate. The prisoner's wife then
have the witness her shawl in security; and he went
ome. No sooner, however, had he sat down, than the
door bell was rung, and the witness having gone and
opened it, was saluted by a most violent blow from the
prisoner.
The priSoner, not being able to onvince the Magistrate
that the charge was false,
was ordered to find bail.

ITATTON-GARDEN.--(THs DAY.)
Two Irish women, named 01 Donne! and Cunick, were
brought up by Wainwright, on suspicion of stealing a silk
shawl.
The landlady of the Half-Moon public-house, in Port-
pool-lane, said that the prisoners come to her bar last night
and bad a pint of porter, during which time °Tunnel

asked permission to retire a few minutes, and on her return
left the house, and Cunick took the remainder of the
her`
into the tap4oolll. She (witness) went up into her sleep-
ing-room, and instantly missed a silk shawl; on coming
down, she accused the woman O'Donnel, who had again
joined her companion, of the robbery, which was strongly
denied. Witness then sent for Wainwright, and gave them
both in charge.
Wainwright said, that on going to the Half-moon he
found the two prisoners in the tap-room, and immediately
searched O'Donnel, but could not find the shawl, or any
duplicate (he suspecting that she might have gone to
pledge it). On turning to Cunick he was told by her,
companion that she was deaf and dumb, and her motion's
seemed to corroborate the assertion. Being rather awake
to such things, he did not care to belieVe it, and proceeded
to search her. Witness left her in custody, and took
O'Doiniel to the watch-house. On the road hi:asked
her who her companion was,_ and how they came to be
there together? She told him that they both
lived in
Drury-lane, and that Cunick had asked her to come with
her. " Asked you," said Wainwright, " why she's
dumb I" " The divil a bit, any more than yoursel,
jewel ; sure she can tip a bit of the blarney when
she plases." After securing her, he retunied for the
dumb .lady, who still retained her character; and
wrapping her in the blanket, took her out, and led her
towards the watchhouse, when suddenly - she exclaimed,
" are you the spalpeen that 'll not allow me to get half a
pint of beer before I go"to the black hole ?"
This indul-
gence he granted, and then locked her up for the night.
The dumb lady was now most vociferous in protestations
of her innocence, as if making amends for her taciturnity
last night ; bat vis. Sergeant Sellon not chusing to believe
her, they were both remanded, and orders were given that
enquiries should be made at the neighbouring pawnbrokers.

QITEEN-SQUARE—(Tuis DAY).
This morning several individuals, dekribing themselves
pastry-cooks and biscuit-bakers, appeared before W.A. A.
White, Esq., and complained of a desperate outrage having
been committed on their persons.
In a few minutes, four fellows named S. Leak, J. Leak,
J. Gould, and W. Green, labouring gardeners, were placed
at the bar, when the following charge was made against
.them.

It appeared that the complainants, about half-past twelve
o'clock this morning, were on their return from Brentford
fair, when near Turnham-green, the prisoners, in company
with several others, instantly attacked them, by knocking
a tea-tray off the head of Mr. Hobley, who, on remon-
strating, was struck down and beat-most shamefully.
On some of his friends interfering they shared a similar
Bite, and one man in particular was beaten dreadfully, he
identified Stephen Leak as one who struck him with a large
stone clenched in his fist on the month.

After other witnesses had been examined, who deposed
to the ill treatment they had received, the Magistrate fully
committed S. Leak, J. Leak, and J. Gould, for trial.

TOWN HALL, SOUTHWARK.—(Tnzs DAY.)
Two respectable looking females named Daley, were
brought before the sitting Alderman, on an alleged charge
of felony.

The complainant, a Mrs. Morris, stated, that the pri-
soners were in her employment as sempstresses. She
went out on the previous day; and on her return, discovered
that her box, containing a M. note, and eighteen sove-
reigns, had been broken open, and all taken except sixteen
sovereigns. She, however, admitted that she had notac-
cased the prisoners of the robbery until the following. day.
The Alderman having ascertained that the complainants
was'in great poverty previous to the charge, and that the
case was " got up," merely for the purpose of imposing on
her landlady, to whom she owed a quarter's rent, the pri-
soners were discharged, both of them vehemently assert-
ing, that there was not the slightest foundation for the
charge.
The complainant was severely reprimanded for having
recourse to such an expedient to impose on her landlady.

UNION-HALL—(Nuts Dkv.)
Three Irishmen of the names of Sullivan, Donovan, and
Scott, were brought up charged by Mrs. Wright, wife of
James Wright, with stealing a pewter pot, the property of
her husband, last night.
MAGISTRATE—What Is the value of the pot ?

Complainant—Four shillings.
Sullivan, who appeared to be the principal delinquent,
said he offered to pay for the pot; they were all in liquor,
and had a lark ; they did not mean to steal the pot, but to
carry it back again ; however they completely rendered
the pot of no use by squatting and battering it against the
wall, and making a hole in it. They were fined 4s. and
ordered to pay 2s. more for the warrant, and is. for their
discharge.
A man named Lewis was charged with threatening the
life of his wife.

The complainant, whose visage showed that she had
received desperate punishment, stated that her husband
was a confirmed drunkard, and that he was in the constant
habit of beating her and threatening her life.
The defendant endeavoured to palliate kis conduct, by
declaring that he was wounded in the most tender part. If
he had the misfortune of drinking a little too much, his wife
hail a nasty knack of running after other women's hus-
bands, and those two propensities, he added, were the
cause of all their bickerings. He would now, however,
promise for ever to forego his favourite beverage, if she,
on her part, would also give up her male acquaintances.
The wife would not listen to any terms, and the defend-
ant was held to bail.
