POLLS' COURT.-(THIS DA -3,7.)

LORD NELSON V. LARD BRIDPORT.
Mr. PAL➢IER resumed his arguments, which were com-
menced yesterday, and which were directed chiefly to-
wards substantiating the case of the appellant from the
wording of the will of tioratia Lord Nelson.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took un-
opposed petitions and short causes to-day, none of which
possessed any points of public interest.
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
IN RE FERRER'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

This case came before his Honour on petition praying
a reference to the Master to consider the propriety of
extending the system of education pursued there to in-
struction in the Latin and Greek languages and all the
branches usually taught in commercial academies. The
foundation of the charity, situated in Tewlutsbury, dates
so far back as James the First ; it received a cl.arter
from William the Third i❑ 1698, but up to the present
time the system of education pursued has not advanced
with the necessities of the age. His Honour referred it
to the Master to inquire whether extension would be
beneficial, and what systfm should be adopted, and
whether any alteration should be made in the right and
mode of admission to the charity, and in the continuance
in the school.

(Before Vice Chancellor WIGRAX.)
DYKES V. FARR.

This case has been twice argued, and came on•the
second time this morning for judgment.
The facts of it are shortly these :—Mr. Dykes, in
177 g, being married to Susan Farr, made a settlement
that, in case of the wife's death, her dower, 1,5001., and
500/. more, in all, 2,0001., should revert to Mr. Farr,
her father, or his representatives. About twenty years
after Mr. and Mrs. Dykessbeing both alive, they executed a
new deed of settlement, by which it seems to have been
their intention to render the deed of the previous date
void; but the means they took to bar the sum of 2,000/.
in the first deed, by raising a new sum of 2,000/. dif-
ferently apportioned, failed in point of legal form. This
second deed, in consideration of certain rights held by
Mrs. Dykes being surrendered to Mr. Dykes during his
lifetime, after that gave the reversion in favour of the next
of kin of the wife. It so happened, that the represenia-
tire of Farr entitled to claim wader the first deed, is
also the next of kin to Mrs. Dykes, and entitled to come
in under the second. This his Honour remarked, in
giving judgment, had no power to alter the effect of the
deeds, whatever that might be.
His Hoxoun, on the former hearing, ordered the 2,000/.
levied by the first deed to be raised without prejudice to
the sum levied in the second. The cause to stand over.

It was argued again at the instance of Mrs. Dyke's
representatives claiming under the second deed. In
giving judgment on the effeet of that deed, after going
through the points of his judgment on the first hearing,
his Honour said the only observation he had to offer was,
that the intention of the parties appeared to be, that the
estates of Dykes should be cleared from the sum of
2,0001., which would have gone to the representatives of
Farr, and to raise a second sum of 2,0001. in favour of
the representatives of Mrs. Dykes. The steps taken to
clear the estates of the husband were not matter for the
consideration of the wife, who had left nothing undone
on her part to effect the object; it was for the husband
to consider what steps should be taken for the purpose,
The question, then, had now come on to be considered,
after the death of both, which occurred so long a time
after the deed had been executed, and after so great a
lapse of years since their death, whether the wife's re-
presentatives were to be barred of all advantage because
the husband not taken the proper steps. His Honour
said the suit had failed.

Coats were reserved on account of an intimation of in,
tendon on the part of the plaintiffs to move for a new trial

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
SHAW V. FRIDAY.

This was an action brought by Mr. Shaw, solicitor, of
Fish-street llill, against the defendant, Thomas Friday,
steward on board a Gravesend steamer, for 161. 13s. 4d.,
the amount of a bill of costs.

Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas
for the defendant.

It appeared that two actions had been brought for the
defendant against parties for money lent, and for rent
due, in support of which two clerks of the plaintiff's
were called, and gave evidence as to the nature of the
business, but prevaricated very much in cross-examina-
tion.

Mr. THOMAS, for the defence, urged the want of evi-
dence as to a retainer, and gross overcharge in the
account in various items, and commented upon the un-
satisfactory manner one of the clerks gave his evidence,
having deposed, in the first instance, that he had at-
tended himself on certain occasions, and afterwards
denying having done so.
The Learned SECONDARY, in summing up, pointed out
various items in the bill as exorbitant, and in several
cases considered 3s. 4d. quite sufficient where 6s. Bd. was
charged.
The jury, after being locked up for some time, re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the RECORDER and a Common Jury.)
GIBBON V. GOWDIE—GODWIN GARNISHEE.

This was an attachment issued at the instance of the
plaintiff to attach and recover the sum of 851. 13s. 11d.
due from the defendant to the plaintiff.
Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Randall for the garnishee.
The defendant formerly resided in this country during
which time he contracted the debt in question, and
shortly after left for Sydney, where he now resides, Mr.
Godwin, a merchant in the City, the garnishee in the
present case acting as his agent, the plaintiff
ascertaining that he held a sum of money in
hand belonging to the defendant, made an affidavit of the
defendant, and took the effective measures peculiar to
the ancient practice of this Court, being the only city in
England, with the exception of the city of York, that is
invested with the power of attaching money in the
hands of a third party, at a time when a defendant is not
residing within e jurisdiction of this or any of the
11ii
superior Courts a Vestminster.
Mr. LAURIE haA‘ lg opened the pleadings,

Mr. RYLAND said it unnecessary further to trouble
the jury, as he understood the parties agreed to consent
to a verdict.

Mr. RANDALL said he appeared for Mr. Godwin, the
garnishee, and he was instructed to consent to a verdict
for 85/ 13s. 11d.

A verdict for the plaintiff for that amount was then
taken.

LITTLE AND OTHERS V. CLINTON.

Mr. LAURIE applied to the Court to fix ihe day for
hearing arguments upon the exceptions filed to the
answer of the defendant to a bill of discovery, filed in aid
of an action commenced by the plaintiffs, money brokers,
at New York, against the Union Bank of London, to
attach the sum of 2,0001., deposited by the defendant
with them, and which, it is alleged, formed part of a sum
of 4,500/, stated by the plaintiffs to have been obtained
by the defendant, Clinton, from them by means of a
forged order, and with the proceeds of which he ab-
sconded from America to this country.
After some conversation,

The RECORDER appointed the 9th of January to hear
the arguments of counsel, and intimated, if it should be-
come necessary, he would also sit on the following day.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.—The average price of wheat in
the week endirig on Saturday, the 6th of December, was
23f. 92c., and that of Rye 17f. 11c.
The Chamber of Representatives has continued to-day
the debate on the project of law relative to the free en-
trepots. Many Members spoke for and against the law.
M.d'Elhoursque proposed two amendments, to which the
Government did not accede.

The Chamber proceeded slowly in theTdebate on this
law. A great number of Members, without systematically
opposing the creation of such establishments, refuse, and
will continue to refuse, their assent till it shall be clearly
proved to them that these entrcptits can neither favour
fraud nor seriously injure the national industry (naanu-
-factures). The objection of fraud has been completely
answered, and will probably not be brought forward
again. The opponents see in these vast depots only a
favour granted to commerce, but merchants care little
what they sell or what they buy, provided that they find
them advantageous in their dealing.
In the desire to protect manufactures, some persons
forget that a measure, to be really of public utility,
ought not to favour one branch of the prosperity of the
country at the expense of another, and that the most
useful and happy result is, when it is beneficial to all
the branches of the national prosperity.
We learn that, on the complaint of the Ambassador of
France, a seizure has been commenced of the copies of a
pamphlet printed in this city, and for which the author
has been condemned in France. The work is directed '
against the Orleans family.
The official part of the Moniteur publishes the names
of those persons belonging to the ceded portion of Lune-
burg and Luxemburg, who have made the declaration
authorised by the law of 20th May, 1845, to regain the
quality of Belgium. The list fills seven pages of the
journal.

ACCIDENT AT A PIGEON MATCH. - Yesterday
afternoon, a serious accident occurred in Copenhagen-fields,
to Mr. Rowley, of Holloway. He was loading his fowling-
piece for the purpose of firing at a pigeon, when he acci-
dentally struck the trigger of the gun, which discharged a
portion of the shot into his left cheek, and seriously injured
his eye.

honoured this exhibition with a visit, arriving s' fo

Duke expressed his regret on learning from Mr. Glbbe err
