VICE-CHANCERY-(YESTERDAY)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENICAND.)
BOHN v. BOHN.
In this case there were two motions ; one on behalf of
Mr. Bohn, the well-known bookseller of York-street,
Covent-garden, who is the executor of Mr. John BAn,
the testator in the cause, to discharge the order for an
injunction made by his Honour on Tuesday last, and th•
other on behalf of the plaintiffs, to have Mr. Bohn com-
mitted for a breach of such injunction.
His HONOUR was of opinion that the plaintiffs had
been wrong in applying to Mr. Bohn to have the testa-
tor's books and stock delivered to them, and that he
ought not to part with the stock to any persons except
the auctioneers appointed by the Master to sell it. On
the other hand, his Honour considered that the plaintiffs
had a right to be present, and see that proper lists were
made of the books before the executors parted with them.
It was sworn by Mr. Bohn, and by several other per-
sons that accurate lists had invariably been made, but it
did not appear that the plaintiff had always seen them.
Eventually it was arranged that no order should be
made on either motion, it being understood that the
order on Tuesday last was not to be acted on, and that
all parties' costs of both motions should be paid out of
the testator's estate.

THE TRAGICAL EVENT AT
MILE-END.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
• As soon as the excitement consequent upon the
shocking discovery had in some degree abated, the
apartment in which the unhappy creatures had de-
prived themselves of existence was strictly examined
by Mr. Porter, the constable of Stepney. The un-
fortunate couple appeared to have taken the most de-
liberate pains to accomplish their fatal design. The
supposition that they had gone out to church is sus-
pected to be somewhat groundless ; for it is now
conjectured that, instead of going out, they must have
slammed the door and immediately concealed them-
selves in the apartment in question, as they were not
heard during the whole evening to re-open the street-
door. The corpse of the young woman, who was
attired in a black satin dress, with jewellery on her
fingers, and her hair done up in ringlets, lay on the
face, with the left arm resting on the chest of her
betrothed, his right arm being under her head ; and
he lay on his back. Ile was dressed. Neither of
their countenances were distorted. On the table was
found a letter bearing the following superscription :
" To Miss Margaret Chapman, Lucas •street, Com-
mercial-road.
" It is our last and sacred wish that this letter be
delivered into the hands of the above lady. Such is
our final request, and whomsoever may find this we
pray they may give the same to her.

" E. W., C. W. D."
The handwriting is that of the young man, and
displays much firmness. The letter was sealed with
black wax, with the following motto :
" Absence pains, but cannot alter."
Not the remotest idea can be formed by the fami-
lies of the deceased respecting the cause of the de-
plorable occurrence. No doubt the contents of the
letter will assign their motive, and will be read before
the Coroner's jury. The deceased Duckett was a
gentlemanly young man, and it is stated that he was a
clerk in the Tower Hamlets Court of Requests House.
Such, however, we understand, is not the case, for,
as we are informed, he has not been in regblar
employment for some weeks past. This is reported
to have been one circumstance that must have affected
his mind, although he never wanted for anything, his
father being in a respectable way of life as an ac-
countant. As regards his unfortunate partner, the
poor girl, her mind of late has been affected ; she
was the daughter of a surgeon (deceased), and her
mother resides in Cannon-street-road, in a respectable
sphere of life.
