LAW AND P02.10P.
In the Prerogative Court Sir H. J. Fu* gave judgment
against the admissibility to probate of a paper propounded
as the last will of Mrs. Susanna Ireland, wife to the late
Dean of Westminster. The Learned Judge also pronounced
against the validity of a paper dated September 20, 184,

sheriff's officer, who appeared before Mr. Alderman Fare-
brother, to answer the complaint of Mr. Wiliam Cole, of
Clapton, respecting the substitution of a diamond ring of
little value, for one of greater value, part of the effects of his
brother (Mr. Frederick S. Cole, late a wine-merchant its the
City), seized and sold under an execution, by order of' the
Sheriff of Middlesex. Mr. Lewis stated that the genuine
watch and ring were in the possession of Mr. Harding., a
solicitor, and the case was adjourned in order to secure that
gentleman's attendance.
At Marlborough-street, John Lomas, a bird dealer, ap-
peared before Mr. Maltby to undergo a final examination en
a charge of having stolen a cloak from the house of Mr.
Squirrel', Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. On his first
examination three persons swore positively to him as the
man whom they had seen in Mr. Squirrell's house, dad a
pawnbroker swore that Lomas had pledged the property with
him. To rebut this, the prisoner produced a host of wit-
nesses, some of whom knew that he had not left his house at
all on the day of the robbery, and with regard to the pawning,
a respectable watchmaker, at Lewisham, swore that he was
purchasing a bird of the prisoner at that place, at the very
hour that the pawnbroker stated he was in his shop. On
further inquiry being made, the innocence of the poer fellow
was completely proved, and Mr. Maltby discharged MIK
without the slightest imputation on his character. He is,
however, nearly ruined, for, in consequence of his imprison-
ment on this unfounded charge, his stock and trade have been
almost annihilated.
