LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 12.
KENDRICK V. WILSON.
This was a bill filed for the purpose of setting aside a contract
entered into by the plaintiff with the defendant, on the ground that
the defendant had entered into it by misrepresentation and fraud,
and that, in fact, he was not at that time, or at any time since, in
a situation which could enable hint to fulfil his part of the agree-
ment.

The facts of the plaintiff's case (as stated by Mr. Maid) were
briefly these :—The plaintiff was in possession of a patent for a
new mode of tanning leather,' which was said to be very valua-
ble. The defendant had offered himself tifi the purchaser; and
by representing himself as a man worth 20,000/. and upwards
and acquainted with Mr. Maberly and others, by whose aid he
could command 100,0001. did, in fact, succeed in entering into
a contract with the plaintiff for his shares in the patent. In sup-
port of the bill was read the evidence of the Hon. Washington
Shirley, who stated, that at a dinner given at the " Castle and
Falcon," Aldersgate-street, at the time of the contract, deponent
proposed defendant's health, and "Success to the tanning concern;"
on which defendant rose and returned thanks, and added, that
he was not a man of straw, but was worth 20,000/. and upwards,
and could command' 100,000/. if occasion required. , It was
added, that en far from the defendant being what he represented
himself, that he was an uncertificated bankrupt, and had been
so since 1816, and was at the time of the agreement a prisoner
residing within the rules of the King's Bench prison. On these
grounds the plaintiff prayed the Court that the contract might be
set aside.
Mr. SUGDEN (with whom was Mr. Knight), for the defend-
ant, contended that there was nothing whatever in the plaintiff's
case, as supported by evidence, that could warrant the interference
of the Court in the manner prayed for. • There was not, he 'con-
tended; 'any thing in the evidence to show that the representations
alleged to have been made by the defendant had been made before'
the signing of the contract. But what he mainly relied on was,
that the plaintiff must have been perfectly well aware of the whole
circumstances of defendant's situation ' that he used constantly to
visit him in the rules, and knew that he was not possessed of any
funds. This part of the ease was supported by the evidence of
Alias Prieltett, a lady who was on ii visit at defendant's house, and
who was preAEllt la.t moat of, tide conversations which to l: place
between plaintiff and 'defendant. The evidence. was read, sod was.
to this effect ,---That them was no coneealment of his cireum;
'Stances on the part of defendant ; that plaintiff had often express-
ed his entire reliance on the skill of defendant in the management
of the patent ; that it was on his skill, and not, on his capital, he
, relied ; and that he would rather have him to manage the patent
without a shilling than any other man with a capital. It was
was added, that plaintiff continued to express his confidence in the
defendant, even, after Mr. Moberly, on whom he (defendant) had
relied for the means of working the patent, had declined to have
any thing to do with it. Under these circumstances, Mr, Sugden
submitted that there was no ground for the application, and that
it ought to be dismissed with costs.
Mr. Kisioirr followed on the same side.
The VicE-Citaxelmaia, after' recapitulating the facts of the'
case as they appeared in the evidence on both aides,, observed, that
he could not see why the plaintiff should have disposed of his
shares in a patent admitkd on all hands to be valuable, unless re-
presentations had been made to him that the defendant could have
found the means of paying him a fair price. It appeared to him
that the defendant had, even on his own evidence, been guilty of
misrepresentation and fraud: and the judgment of the Court was,
that the agreement between him and the plaintiff should be given
Up to be cancelled ; that the patent should he restored to the plain-
tiff; and that the defendant should pay all costs—those costs to be
deducted from the stun of 2501. which defendant had already paid
plaintiff in consequence of the agreement.

COURT CI: SESSION, FIRST DIVISION, JULY ti
CASE or olvoacr.—aLtaire U. BLAKE.

It appeared that the parties in this cause were natives of
Ireland, and had been privately married at Iltirtpatriek, it

Scotland, after which they returned to Ireland, where they
resided for some time. In 1816 they separated, and in 1824
the husband came to Scotland, where he took a shooting-bot
in the 'Highlands, and after residing there forty days he
raised an - action of divorce against his wife before the Com-
mimsarie.s of Edinburgh. To this action the lady was cited to
Appear by in edictal citation at the market-cross of Edinburgh,
and pier and shore of Leith. No appearance was made for
her, and a proof having been' led, decree of divorce was pro-
trounced against her in absence, which annulled the marriage.
When the lady learned of the derision, which she; did from the
newspapers' she immediately contradicted it, and brought an;
action of reduction of that decree before the Court of Session,
on the ground that it was incompetent and void, in respect she
WA not been legally and . bona fide cited for her interest. The
Judges were unanimous in ending, that besides the legal citation,
the lady was entitled to have' received notice from the husband,.
under the baud of a notary-public and witnesses, that such suit
was in dependence against her in Scotland ; therefore the Lords
reduced the decree.. Lord 13x1 ray stated, that if such decree were
stratainedi the Commisaaries of Edinburgh night unmarry all the
ladies in the two kingdoms, while they were residing at home,'
and their husbands shooting, as they supposed, in the Highlands
of Scotland.

----
In a late general assembly of, the Academy of Me-
dicine, M. ' cliche observed, that the experiments
made by the faculty of physicians proved beyond a
doubt that pieces of glass, even of considerable size,
might be swallowed without any disagreeable results.
The accidents which sometimes happen, he said, from
the swallowing of pins, fish bones, or bits of glass,
ought to be looked upon as the' effects of the efforts
made to get rid of them, rather than produced by the
articles themselves ; as no other animals seem to expe-
rience such injuries.---Another member had seen a
student of medicine who was in the habit after dinner
of breaking the
glass which he had been using and
swallowing it, and he never had cause to repent of
such a mogular practice. Another gentleman had
known a person who frequently, in A fit of passion)
broke the glasshe had
drank out of and swallowed it,
without the least inconvenience. This evidence was
iven in consequence of
a deputation sent from the
udicial Authorities of Troyes, to ascertain what was
the opinion of the Academy respecting the injurious
effects, or otherwise, of
mit eomraingled with a twen-
tieth proportion of pounded glass. The decision,
therefore, was that, such salt could do no injury.

POLICE lNTtli4Griler,
Ai AN SION-H OUSE, —Two gestlemen, named Charles Wil-
liamson William and Thomas Isaacson, were brought before the:
LORD MAYOR, charged with haling acted in a (disorderly manner
the night before, at the corner of Gracechureh-street.
The watchman stated, that as he was going along on his beat, at
about half-past 11 o'clock, he saw the two gentlemen standing •
'together in conversation. Soon afterwards two females addressed
them, and the witness went up and (lired them all to move on.
The women walked away without hesitation, but the gentlemen
refused to stir until they-should finish their conversation, where-
upon the witness threatened to lodge them in the Compter, and
actually did compel them to take tip their residence in that abode
during the whole of the night.
The LORD Mayon censured the watchman for having taken
into custody and imprisoned two persons under such circutn-

stances.
One of the defendants then told the Lord Mayor, that he had a
complaint of rather a serious nature to make' against the watch-
man and the constable, who also attended upon the charge.
The LORD MaYon immediately desired that the two gentlemen
should make room for the watchman and the constable, and the
two formeibecame in turn the complainants.
. The charge against the two protectors of the public peace was,
that they had taken a dollar from one of the consplamants on
their way to the Mansion-house. lt, appeared that the gentle-
men, who could attribute their apprehension by the watchman to
nothing but the wish to extort money from them, asked whether
they could not get away without the trouble of appearing before
the Lord Mayor. The watchman, whoie ears were open to any
request of indulgence, intimated that that could not be, but then
the thing
might be softened down if the gonmen pleased. This
hint was taken-ss. was the condition ; and certainly the watch-
man brought forward his charge in a very miwatChnumlike
manner when the matter came to the test.
The Loan MAYOR asked the watchman, who was struck
aghast at this unexpected turn upon him, where the 5s were?--
The watchinan said, he had them not.
The LORDMAyog.--Why, where are they ?
One of the complainants.—No, he certainly has them not. He
and the constable settled the matter between them, and he handed

over the ss. to the constable privately.
The constable admitted that the watchman had banded some
money to him, but then lie knew nothing about it.
The LORI) MAYOR,---What motive had the watchman for hand-

ing over the ss. to you ?
The constable (confused).—Ob J. because he had holes in his
pockets.
The Loan Mima instantly suspended the watchman and the
constable, whose names are William Mackay and Henry Pearce,
and sent notice to that effect to the yard in which they are em-
ployed.,
A licensed victualler, named 'Mackey, who keeps the Coach
and Horses publie-liOuse in the Minories, was charged by Mer-
chant, the condueter of the city patrol, with having kept his
house open until half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning, and
supplied persons with drink.
The officer stated, that he saw several persons; some of whom
were eating, some drinking, and some sleeping in the defendant's
house. There was no such thing as correcting the habits of the
house at all. Three, four, and five o'clock in the morning, weie
hours at which it was constantly to be seen open.
The defendant declared that his house was most properly con-
ducted. _ _ .

,A person who lived opposite to the house declared that the
rows which took place at the door of it, at unseasonable hours,
were dreadful.
The LORD MAYOR said, it was evident that the landlord was
not fit to keep the house, and that if care was not taken the
licence would be lost.
Marchant said the landlady defied the whole parish.—(A
laugh.)
The Loan MAvon—Very well ; we'll see how she'll like a
good fine. His Lordship' then ordered the defendant to pay the
penalty of M.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.The well-known Lady Bar-
r.o7tore" was again brought before the Magistrates for drunkenness.
She was brought to the office in a coach, and on alighting from
which she became very poetical, and observed to the persons who
crowded round the office door—
" What's all this row I see ?
Whaei all the world to me ?" _ .

She was immediately placed before the Magistrate, and on being
informed lay Mr. Dv ER that elle would be eonunitted to prison,
she exclairoodp .• Dyer, 'tis to yin, I itnputa.rny ruisfer'-'

Rirnie. He, God Mese (and here she sighed), he would not
send me to prison : he gave me money, and ordered me to be im-
mediately discharged. But here lam committed for every petty
offence, and I am held up to the world art a worthless and dis-
graceful individual."—Mr. DYER repeated, that he should order
her to be committed for being drunk.—" Then take that," said
her Ladyship, and stooping down, she took off her shoe, and threw
it at Mr. Dyer. It, however, struck against the desk. She was
then, with difficulty, removed from the bar, but on passing
through the Clerk's office to the lock-up room, she broke several
squares of glass.
WIARYLBBONE. —John Kay, assistant-overseer of the
poor in the parish of Wiltelen, and an occasional preacher at Wile»
den chapel, was brought, under , virtue of a warrant, before
Mr. RAW LINSON, to answer the charge of an assault, with in-
tent to commit a rape, on the person of Rachael Brown, a girl
19 years of age.
Rachael Brown deposed, that she has known Mr. Kilby from
her infancy ' he pays the poor people ; her mother is paid by
and else receives from him a weekly parish allowance; she
earns part of her living by washing and (Alice jobs. On Saturday
last she went to clean the house of Mr. Kilby's daughter, .who
lives opposite to her father, on the road-aide. The family went
to London in the afternoon, and left her in the house alone.
After they were gone, about three or four o'clock, Mr. Kilby
came over, went into the parlour, and looked at a fiddle which
was there, and said he would play a tune if she would dance.
She told him she could not dance; but she expected Charlotte
Langley (a young girl living in the village) to come soon, and
she could dance. Charlotte came soon after for a pail of water;
no fiddling or dancing took place ; but after Charlotte was gone
Mr. Kilby said lie would help her to clean the house ; she said
she did not want his assistance ; he then took her in his arms;
placed her on his knee, and said it was of no use to struggle, he
would do as he pleased. The windows into the garden were
open; she did not cry out, as she was rio ranch frightened. She
told him she would report hint if he did not let her go. He kept
her a quarter of an hour, and took very Improper liberties with
her perion. To a question from the Magistrate, she said be never
took liberties with her before, and her character had never 'been
tampered with. While the girl was giving her deposition,
Kilby endeavoured repeatedly to interfere, but Mr. Re %last-sow
told him if he did not desist he would have him locked up.
Charlotte Langley said, she went for a pail of water ; she looked
into the house, and saw Mr. Kilby behind the door; he laughed,
and she went away.
Kilby acknowledged he kissed the girl, and talked to her about

UNION-HALL—Yesterday Mr. Samuel Dixon, tine com-
mon-councilman, was brought up to this office, under the au-
thority of a warrant, charging him with assaulting one of his
neighbours, a Mr. Burnly, residing in the Walworffi-road. Pre-
vious to the investigation of the cane the defendant applied to have
it postponed, in order that he might have the advantage of the
attendance of his professional adviser, as the circumstances that led
to the assault were of such a nature as to require the aid of a soli-
citor to develop the whole of the filets. The complainant and his
witness were, however, in attendance, and the Magistrate de,.
cided, as it was a mere assault 'case, it should be entered into
at once. _ _

The complainant was then sworn. Ile stated that he was
a cheesemonger, residing within a very few doors of Mr.
Dixon's house. That on Saturday afternoon, while he was
attending to the customers in his shop, the defendant came in,
and advancing towards the counter commenced abusing one
of the apprentices, threatening, in loud language, to annihilate
the lad in the event of his not disclosing the names and
places of abode of three other youths, ny whom it appeared
Mr. Dixon had been annoyed. The apprentice repeatedly
told the defendant that he could not give him the informa-
tion required ; when the latter became still more vociferous,
and the noise and disturbance occasioned by his clamour
collected a group of persons round the door, and impeded the
business of the shop. At this juncture of the affair Mr. Burnly
said he interfered, requesting Mr. Dixon either to quit his shop,
or to discontinue the uproar that he was then making, Mr.
Dixon, however, refused to listen to any remonstrances for
tranquillity ; and when he (complainant) advanced towards
him for the purpose of insisting on his leaving the shop, Mr.
Dixon doubled his fist, and struck him a blow on the face, say-
ing, " There, take that facer now; how did you like it? lam
an old man, and you are a young one; but. for all that I think I
should be able to lick you." Mr. Burnly said that Mr. Dixon
then threw himself into a posture for fighting, and actually want-
ed him to have a turn-up" in his own shop before all his customers
and the crowd that were gathered outside the door. The chal-
lenge was refused, the complainant informing Mr. Dixon, who
then left the Shop, that he should have other satisfaction than hav-
ing a "set-to" with a man so well skilled in the fistic art. Mr.
Burnly forthwith lodged his complaint against the defendant, and
procured a warrant for the assault.
The apprentice, whom the defendant first addressed when he
entered Mr. Burnly's shop, was called, and he corroborated his
master's testimony with regard to the assault, and thc language
used by Mr. Dixon.
Mr. Dixon said that he was most anxious this case should go
into another COurt.
The Magistrate—Mr. Dixon, the *smolt has been proved, and
you will have an opportunity of having your wish gratified—it
shall go to the Sessions, • .
Mr. Dixon proceeded to lament the absence of his attorney, and
complained loudly of the annoyance and interruption to which he
and his family were continually exposed by a set of disorderly boys,
who were a great nuisance to the whole neighbourhood. He had
merely walked into Mr. Burnly's shop, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing the names of three of those yonng scamps from the apprentice,
who was well acqUainted with them. He had scarcely made the
inquiry, when he was grossly insulted by the person from whom
be wanted the information, and ultimately, be might say, assaulted
by Mr. Burnly, who took his arm with the intention of turning
him out into the street. Mr. Dixon denied having assaulted the
complainant in the mintier described.
Magistrate—l shall require hail, Mr. Dixon ; have you any per.:
sons in attendance to become your sureties?
Mr. Dixon.—! have no friend at present with me, and hope
you will allow me some time to procure two friends to answer
for my appearance.
Magistrate.—You must arrange that with the complainant, as
it must meet with his sanction.
Mr. Dixon here, addressing the complainant, slid.--" Mr.
Bundy, I hope you will agree to my request. You know I have
been 42 years in spy present house, therefore must be conscious
that I shall not run away."
It was ultimately arranged that the defendant should put in
bail on Friday next, to answer the charge at the Sessions.

suite of domestics was very n(imerons.. They were. ilk
accomplished, and several persons of rank visit ed
house. Their manners appeared extremely gentle, A. '.
although it was remarked that the general tenor of that
conduct did not evince a
:greater share of caprice than
usually appertains to the fair, sex, considerable surprise'
was excited among their friends in observing, that a cOll
tinuul change of servants was taking place. Scarcely any
one retained his situation More than two months, and yet
no complaints were heard among them; they invariably-
left the town, and if they returned, as it .happened in se-
veral instances, they were re-admitted into- the family.--
One of these persons, a kind of major-d onio Or head-
steward, formed an exception to this genera.• rule of dis-
mission. • His principal employment seemed t o consist in
proceeding to different towns, where it was said that:these
ladies possessed property, and in collecting rents.. He ge-
neri left this town at the commencement of every
month, and was often absent about a week. Retuning.
from his fast journey, he was met by a gentleman in tie
streets of Bi'eslau, who, fancying that he recognizt id in his.
person a robber who had stripped him of every valuable'
article he possessed, gave information to a Magistnate, and
the, steward was ins,tnntly sent to prison. During his ex
amination certain facts tame to light, which, causing much
suspicion, a . promise Vic' made of obtaining pardon pro-
yided he would reveal the whole truth. He made.a full
confession, and stated that he belonged to an organized
band of robbers, 39 in number, ini'd that the whole of their
proceedings were directed by the taw:,) Italian females. All
the servants belonged to thogang, • mid the apparent dis-
missions were easily accounted for. k'ortysone highavay
robberies had been committed by the bansd, in which they
had carried off booty sufficiently great to en, able the ferns les
to live in such splendour. Several murders had also been
perpetrated, where the attacked party had de.
fended them-
selves. The most; exact regulations had bet `n made Te-
specting the general conduct and movements ti '‘e banditti
were to pursue. One. chief, four subalterns, an I the rest
privates, formed the band, and the head-guard s were
established in the mansion of the Italian females, .whedi-
reeted the whole. These latter have been convex; ved, to
prison, as also the whole suite of domestics. The exa Mink
tion of these wretches is now preceeding. • k
