LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 8.
(Sittings in Banco.)
SEAGRAVE V. ENGLAND.

The report of this case appeared in our impression of
Saturday last, and was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney,
the day before. It was an action to recover damages
for trespass and illegal ejectment, aggravated by vio-
lence. Without entering minutely into the facts of the
case, we may remind our readers that Mrs. Seagrave,
considering herself to be in bona fide possession of a
house of Mr. Pocock's, in Swinton-street, King's-cross,
was ejected by his agent, the defendant, and that the
jury gave her 501. damages.
Mr. PETERSDORFF now moved for a rule nisi, calling
on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should
not be set aside, and a new trial had. He partly
grounded his motion on the view taken of a point sub-
mitted to the jury by his Lordship.
Baron GURNEY concurred with the Learned Counsel,
and granted the rule ; advising, at the same time, that
the defendant should make some concession, rather than
incur further costs.—Rule granted accordingly.

ST. OTAVE'S CHURCIL—This church, in South-
wark, at the foot of London-bridge, which, it will be remem-
bered, was destroyed by a disastrous fire, some time since,
together with Topping's extensive wharfs, and other ad-
joining buildings, is now nearly ready to be once more opened.
The old walls and tower have been preserved, intermixed
with much new work; and a large portion of the interior of
the edifice also remains, as formerly. The church is filled
with workmen, and, in all probability, will be opened before
very long, once again for public worship. Topping's wharf,
also, has been re-erected, and forms an extensive and fine
building. Though not altogether finished, apparently, the
lower portions already give signs of the bustle and activity
of business. Indeed, little trace is now to be seen of the
destructive fire that laid so many edifices in ruins.

A MARKED MAN.—In the history of escaped con-
victs there never was, perhaps, one more easily recog-
nised than a man recently escaped from New South
Wales, and supposed to be at present in London. He
is described thus :—" Adam and Eve, tree and serpent,
B, S, T.S., bust of a man, mermaid, half-moon, ship,
George and the Dragon, man, birds, heart and darts,
Hope and anchor, T, crown and flags on the left arm ;
seven dots between the finger and thumb' of the left
hand, man and glass on the back of the left hand, ring
pricked on the middle finger of left hand, two pugilists
on the centre of chest." His name is Truelove Smith,
and he is about twenty-four years of age. He was tried
at Cambridge on the 15th May, 1830, and sentenced to
transportation for life in his tenth year.

RESPITE.—His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant
has been pleased to direct a respite, from the Bth of May
inst. to the 14th of June next, for Patrick Lynch and Edmond
Conway, convicts, under sentence of death in the county
gaol, for the murder of the Rev. Charles Dawson:. The
