LAW INTELLIGtNCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tins Dky.)

TILLSOW V. WOODFORD.
Mr. HART, on a former occasion obtained leave to have this
cause petition in the paper of to-day. The petitioner, Mr. Till-
son, is a young man expecting to beeome posseseed of an immensely
large fortune ; the property, however, was so left, that his guar-
dians cannot command enough of the property properly to main-
tain and educate the petitioner. Mr. Hart considered it of great
importance to the public, that those who represented large fortunes
should have adequate education. The jurisdiction of this Court
would not authorize the Chancellor's making an order for the sale
of part of the trust estates for the above purpose, but it was thought
that the legislature might pass an act authorizing the sale of a suf-
ficient quantity, and, therefore, the present
might be referred to the Muter to inquire whether it was reason-
able and proper that the petitioner should be at liberty to apply to
Parliament. petition was, that it

LUNATIC PETJTIONS. • •
His LORDSHIP considered that it, would be better to go OR Wall
these petitions now, as there were some for the payment of money,
the non-payment of which might be of immense importance to the
parties.

IN THE MATTER or SIR GREGORY PAC& TURNER, .11 LESATIC.

In this matter four old petitionsstood----atthe head of the paper.
The first prayed that the lunatic might be relieved from
during the pendancy of the traverse. The Court could make no
order upon it, but dismissed it.
His LORl:mute had looked into the petition very carefully, and
found it to be wholly without foundation.
The second petition was one praying also, during
the petulancy
of the traverse, to prevent the cutting of timber. The Court dis-
missed it.

The third was the petition of Lady Turner, for an additional
maintenance. The Court had always had an inclination to do all
for her ladyship in its power ; but it had been without power to
do her any good. If any thing hereafter 'could be ascertained,
which would enable the Court to order her some money, his
Lordship would hear it at any time.
The fourth was, the petition ._of ex-parts- Cook, praying the
discharge of au Order of the 11th of August, 182 b, and
that Mr. Corbett, the alleged solicitor of the lunatic, might be
restrained from intermeddling with, the lunatic, or his affairs.
The brat part of the prayer ought to be granted. If the
second pip% proceeded upon an improper interneddling, of ?that
had already taken place, the Court would enquire into
it, and
make the proper order; if, on the other hand, the restraint was
to be put on Mr. Corbett, which was not to be put on any other
person in the world, the Court did not think that ouch an order
should he made, because, after a party was adjudged a lunatic,
any person who presented a petition in his matter, eithef in his
own name, (the lunatic's) or any other body's, he did it at the
risk of the costs falling entirely upon himself.
Mr. HEALD then submitted that the costs of the respondents
iu all these petitions, should be retained by the Committee, and
paid out of the lunatic's estate.

This was not opposed, and his LORDSHIP ordered it.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT;—(Tuts DAY.)
This Court was occupied this moruing, with Bankrupt Petitions
of no public interest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—(Tuts DAY).
ilonSZ-STIALING.—A young man, named Joseph Ross, was
brought before Sir John Perring, charged with stealing a mare,
valued at el , the property of William Elliot, a butcher, at
Lewisham.

It appeared by the evidence, that on 'Thursday afternoon, about
half-past four, a person named John Wade, servant to Mr. Elliot,
put the mare into a field, called Bromley-lane, on the road leading
from Lewisham to Bromley, and, upon going for it next morning,
it was gone.

The prisoner was seen by a country lad named William
Gable, riding it from Lewisham on the road to London,
early on Friday morning, and it was found in his poems-
lion, at Stnithtield Afarket, on Friday afternoon.. The prisoner
iu his defence handed a written statement to the Magi-
strate, in which he mentioned that he received it from a person,
with whom he was unacquainted, to sell for 61. But the Magi-
strate, conceiving that the case was perfectly made out, committed
him to Newgate to take his trial at the ensuing Sessions.

BOW-STREET--(Titts DA r.)
Mary Dogger, a child 8 years old, and Ann Donee, her
mother, were, with her father, and another child, charged with

her mother and a younger child. Witness hurried down stairs
and told her fellow-servant of the fact. She tried to stop
them, but could not, and sent for a. constable, who pursued
and took them, together with the father. He found the nap-
kins and some piece. of lead on the child Mary. The mother
and father denied all knowledge of the theft ; and the child, when,
questioned, said that she had taken them to snake dolls'
clothes of, without the knowledge of the others. The mother
fell on her knees in the office, and made a great show of repent-
ance and agitation, but the cant of the beggar was too evident. She
declared that she had invited the other servant of Mr. Keling to
search both the girl and herself, and which she said was
a sufficient proof of her innocence. The male prisoner said that he
was a coaclunaker, but out of employ. The Magistrates remanded
them till to-morrow, to have the attendance of the other servant-
