THE ANI,UNDALE PEERAGE.

The further rguments on this Peerage occupied their
Lordships the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.
(Before Sir JAMES WICRAM.)
CORY V. TIIE YARMOUTH AND NORWICH RAILWAY
COMPANY.

His Iloxoun gave judgmentin.this case. He said it was
not his intention to express any opinion as to what the rights
of either of the parties were under any Act of Parliament. By
an Act passed in May, 1827, the plaintiff was empowered to
build a bridge over the river Bure, in lieu of a ferry which
had existed there ; and under that Act any one who should
in any manner convey any person, beast, cattle, cart, or car-
riage whatever over the river, within the limits of the ferry,
otherwise than over the bridge, or assist in so doing, was
liable to a fine of 40s. Now lie would leave the case en-
tirely open as to whether the plaintiff had not rights in the
bridge co-extensive with his rights in the ferry; that
was a matter upon which he would pronounce no
opinion. The defendants, it appeared, had been empowered
to make a railway from Norwich to Yarmouth, and the ter-
minus of their railway was on part of the ferry farm. They
had also constructed a basin ; and a dispute had arisen be-
tween the parties, as to whether that basin was within the
river Bure or below its mouth. Across this basin, the de-
fendants carried passengers to and from the railway. The
bill had been filed by the plaintiff, Mr. Cory, who alleged
that his rights had been infringed by the steamer, for the
purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain the defendants
from thus using the ferry. He thought the case should go
to a trial before a jury; and, as it was one which ought to
go perfectly unprejudiced with regard to the interests of either
party, he would not grant the injunction, lest by so doing he
might seem to pronounce an opinion in favour of the plaintiff's
legal right. The terms to be imposed upon the parties were that
they did go to trial at the next Norfolk assizes; and the
defendants must undertake to keep an account of all the pas-
sengers' carriages, &c., which they might convey across the
river, and at the request of the plaintiff they must furnish an
account of the same, and verify the account by affidavit.

QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. TIIE BISHOP OF RIPON.
In this case a rule nisi for a mandamus was obtained to
compel the defendant to allow an inspection of the registry
of resignations and presentations, and, if necessary, to take
copies or extracts thereof.

Mr. Ii L 1 (with whom was Mr. Hill) now showed cause
against the rule, and contended that the rule should be dis-
charged on two grounds. The first ground of objection
was, that an application was made in this case to ➢lr. Justice
Williams in the Bail Court upon affidavit, who directed that
the case should be moved in the full Court. The case did
come on in the full Court, but the affidavit was altered, and
this the Court wowld not allow. The other ground of objec-
tion was that there was no distinct demand of what was
asked for by the rule. The rule asked for an inspection of
the registry, which was a public document, and the applica-
tion made to the Bishop was to see the deed of resignation
and presentation, which were not public documents.
Mr. OGLE (with whom was the Solicitor-General) said
that he moved for the rule in the Bail Court on the last day
of Ililary Term, upon a very lengthy affidavit. Mr. Justice
Williams mferred the matter to the full Court, and he having
seen that the affidavit contained a great deal of matter re-
flecting on the character of the Bishop, which was not ma-
terial to the application, had it struck out.
Lord DEN3IIN said that the Court had decided last term
that a variation of this kind in the affidavit was fatal.—Rule
discharged with costs. •

THE QUEEN V. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.
In this case a rule had been obtained by Mr. Hill, calling
on the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London to show cause
why a mandamus should not issue, directing and command-
ing them to admit Mr. Ashurst, an attorney of the Lord
Mayor's Court. The application was founded on the 27th
sec. of the 6th and 7th of Victoria, ch. 73, and the question
was, whether the Lord Mayor's Court was one of those con-
templated by that Act?
Lord DENMAN said he understood that this was a question
of considerable importance, and it would therefore be better
to order that a return to the mandamus should be made, in
order that the question might be fully discussed and consi-
dered.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
THE QUEEN V. DITCH AND OTHERS.
Mr. HUDDLESTON in this case applied for a certiorari, to
remove an indictment for conspiracy against an attorney and
two persons named Ditch, from the Central Criminal Court
into the Court of Queen's Bench. The affidavit on which
the application was founded stated that points of law were
likely to arise, upon which it would be necessary to have the
opinion of the Judges of the Court.—Rule granted.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY.
(Sittings in Banco.)
Their Lordships were occupied this morning in hearing
motions, none of which presented any feature of public in-
terest or importance.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT
(Before the RECORDER.)
The COURT was occupied the whole morning with investi-
gating a charge of a disgusting nature against a sergeant ei
Marines stationed at Woolwich. The case was not made out;
and the defendant was discharged.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.
A very miserable-looking lad, who described himself as
a musician, named John Fitzgerald, was charged with wilfully
breaking a pane of glass in the Rubin Hood public-house,
Church-lane, St. Giles's.

It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoner was, on
the previous evening, engaged in ministering to the musical
taste of a select party, at the Robin hood public-house ; but
the charms of his lyre had not the effect of soften-
ing the sordid propensities of his auditors, and the
smallness of the sum they tendered was considered
by this son of Orpheus as so utterly unworthy of
his deserts that he left the room in high dudgeon, and in the
excess of his wrath drove his hand through a pane of glaSs
in the public-house. He was immediately arrested, but the
unfortunate musician was found to have mangled his hand
so dreadfully that the landlord, with becoming humanity,
declined to press the charge of wilful damage against him.
The poor fellow seemed so woe-begone when placed in the
dock, with his arm in a sling, and his face deadly pale, that
every one present felt grateful to the publican for setting
him at liberty.

111ARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Barnard, Elizabeth Morgan, Martha Elliott, arkl
Jane Manners, four girls belonging to the Marylebone
work-
house, were brought beforo Mr. llawlinson, charged by James
Jones, the master, with disorderly conduct.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Jones and two of the
inmates, that the prisoners were most incorrigible, havidg
been more than once convicted already for similar offences.
They were therefore kept apart from the others and locked
up in a different part of the building, communicating with an
inclosed yard. After the inmates had retired t• rest yester-
day evening, the four girls at the bar lighted a bonfire in the
yard communicating with their rooms. Chairs, stools, and even
portions of their dress being put in requisition for the laud-
able purpose of, as Manners said, "setting the b— place on
tire.' Fortunately the " row " was discovered in time, and
the girlsiwere handed over to the tender mercies of the police.
Mr. RAwuNsos—lt seems to me that there is a reprehen-
sible carelessness somewhere. Surely some precaution might
be adopted to prevent even the possibility of these girls
having the power of setting the house on fire.
Mr. Jones said that the prisoners were subjected to a strict
surveillance, but it was impossible to know what they were
after until the fault had been committed.

The girls said that their bedrooms were locked, and they
were therefore obliged to remain in the yard, but this asser-
tion was disproved by the master. They next stated that
they were angry, because their own " nurse" was taken from
them. •

➢lr. RAWLINSON—YOU are no babies, but I'll take care that
you shall be nursed in the House of Correction, where you
will each go for twenty days.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Francis Turves, a shopboy in the employ of Thomas
Winyat, a boot and shoemaker, was charged with robbing
his employer.
It appeared that the prisoner had been about three months
in the complainant's employ, and that about a week ago
the daughter of the latter, a little girl between three and
four years of age, seeing the prisoner open the till, mentioned
the circumstance to her father. When he examined the till he
missed a sovereign, but the boy being questioned on the sub-
ject, denied taking the sovereign with such earnestness, that
no further notice was taken of it. A strict watch
however was kept on the prisoner, and some silver having
been missed from the till, he was again questioned, but he
declared his innocence in the most emphatic manner, and
offered to be searched on the spot to prove his honesty. He
then submitted to an examination, but nothing was found
until his shoes were taken off, and in them was found the
whole of the money abstracted from his employer's till.
He was committed for trial.
Sarah Adams was charged with stabbing her husband in
the arm with a knife.

It appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock on the
preceding night, a man named Conney, on passing Smith's-
place, Smith's-street, Camberwell, hearing cries of murder,
proceeded into the house, and saw a woman with a table
knife, in the act of stabbing a man, whom she wounded
in the arm. The witness interfered, and seizing
the knife from her hands, she then flew to the fire-place, and
taking up the poker struck her husband on the head with it ;
this weapon being taken out of her hands, she then grasped a
pair of scissors, and attempted to use them also, but being
overpowered she was then taken into custody. The husband,
who did not attend the examination, was represented as hav-
ing been very seriously•injured.
The prisoner, in her defence, said that her husband dragged
her by the hair of the head, and attempted to throw her out
of the window, and that she took up the weapons to defend
herself.
Mr. TRAIL remanded the prisoner until Friday.
