LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tins DAT.)
DEATH OF LORD GIFFORI).

The LORD CHANCELLOR arrived at his room soot► after
nine o'clock, but before the public were admitted, a gentle-
man from Dover communicated to his Lordship the la-
mentable intelligence of the Death of Lord Gifford, Mas-
ter of the Rolls. The express mentioned, that his late
Lordship having been attacked a fortnight ago with cholera
morbas, went to Dover for the benefit of the sea air, where,
for a short time he recovered, but unfortunately the vio-

symptoms, however, appeared until Saturday afternoon,
from which time his Lordship grew gradually worse, until
three o'clock yesterday when he died. His wife and
family were with him.

When the Lord Chancellor had made this communica.
Lion, he expressed the deepest regret, and sent an attendant
to inform persons waiting in the -Hall, that he should post•
pone all business until to-morrow.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
130W-STREET--(THIs DAY.)

DOG-STEALING.—John Smith was brought up on a
charge of .having stolen a spaniel dog, the property of Mr.
O'Reilly of Oxford-street.
John Barton stated, that he was fetching the dog in
question to the proprietor, on Sunday evening last, when
he suddenly disappeared : he did not get a sight of him
since until this morning,. when he saw him led by the -pri-
soner, who refused to give him up until he procured the
assistance of an officer.

The Officer stated, that the prisoner said he had pur-
chased the dog.
The prisoner, in his defence, stated that the dog had
been given to him last night in a public-house.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE.—\Vhy did you say you purchased
the dog? Prisoner.—l did not say so.
Officer.—Yes, you did.
Prisoner.—Did I ? and if I did, of course I said so.
Sir RICHARD BIRNIE.—Have you 20/. ?
Prisoner.—Only fourpence halfpenny.
Sir RICHARD.—Then you must go to prison for six
months.

As the prisoner was about to be removed, one of the
Officers informed the Magistrates that the prosecutor was
himself a dog stealer ; whereupon Sir RICHARD BIRNIE
ordered him to be detained, and the alleged master of the
,dog• to be sent for; and also that the proprietor of the
public-house, in which the prisoner said he had the dog
given to him, should be sent for.

A CASK OF DisTitess.—.ll. Dykes made application to
the Magistrates, under the following distressing circum-
stances :—He was a native of Flushing, and came to this
country when very young, in the year 1782; he was pro-
prietor of the Opera Coffee-house, which he held until the
Opera House was burned in 1786. He became landlord
of the Talbot Hotel, in the Strand, and he was by no
means a niggard, for he contributed his mite towards the
voluntary subscriptions during the war; but fortune be-
came adverse in 1800: he was obliged to give up business.
He then returned to his native country ; but all his friends
were gone, and he had no person to look to for
relief ; consequently he came back to this country,
and set up a chandler's shop in the parish of Newington;
his wife died in 1819, and being no longer able to keep
house, he went to France, .expecting to get an asylum
there, he was disappointed, and returned once more to
this country; he was now in the 79th year of his age, he
had survived all his early acquaintance, and was destitute
of all means of livelihood; his object in applying to the
Magistrates was to beg they would give him permission to
sell trifling articles through the country, as all he had in
the world, including his wearing apparel, was not sufficient
to pay for a license ; the parish allowed him but two
shillings a week, and he did not like to go into the work-
house.

Sir RICHARD BIRNIE perfectly recollected the Talbot
Hotel belonging to the name of -the applicant, as
also many other circumstances which he mentioned;
but he regretted it was not in his power to grant
his request. He was sorry to see him reduced to such
a state.—Sir RICHARD very humanely wrote a letter by
him to a gentleman in the parish of Newington, who, he
said would do something for him, and gave him
crown. The venerable appearance of the applicant, and
the tale of his misfortunes, excited the compassion and
commanded the respect of all who heard him.

WORSHIP- STREET—( ts DAY.)
Richard Jonas, a youth of respectable connexions, was
charged on suspicion of robbery.
Hanley, the Officer, stated, that last night he was sent
Mr to the shop of Mr. Malthus, a salesman, in Whitecross-
street, where he found the youth now at the bar detained,
he having offered a piece of Irish linen to him for sale. He
questioned him as to how he became possessed of it,
and he said that he had bought it in Houndsditch, for
2s. 3d. per yard, and that his name was Smith, but
subsequently he said it was Jonas. On searching him he
found a bunch of keys and a letter, which led bun to his
lodgings in Wood-street, Cheapside, where, on examining
his box, he found several new silk handkerchiefs, and two
or time:, gown pieces, all new, which were now produced;
he also found upon his person 2/. 17s. in money.
A gentleman here stepped forward and said that the
accused was in his employ; he was a Manchester ware-
houseman, and dealt in India silk handkerchief sand cotton
goods; he had looked over the articles produced, and
could identify none of them; however, he was going to
take stock immediately, and then he should be better able
to judge.
The prisoner in defence said, that the property produced
WAS all his own, and that he had purchased it from time
to time. He was remanded for further examination.

H.ATTON-GARDEN.—(Tais DAY).

Caroline .Fitzallan' who has been some time in custody,
on the charge of stealing a SOL note and six sovereigns,
from Mr. Brooks, of Leigh-street, Burton-creseent, with
whom she lived as housemaid, was again placed at the bar.
On her last examination it was stated that several small
notes hid been changed by Mrs. Stanley, with whom the
prisoner lodged, at the shop of Mr. Bradley, a silversmith
and pawnbroker in Spica!fields, This was denied by Mrs.
Stanley, who was held under a recognizance of 201. to be
the Golden Hart, Lamb-street

made.

Mrs. Stanley said, that there was a little jealousy
between the young couple, and she wished to have
the note back. She then left him 19 sovereigns, and the
next day brought a person who paid the remaining 31/.,
and he gave up the note. Another day or two tlepwls

when Mn.s Stanley cantd• and asked °lle had
been making inquiries about the note; and that he first
ascertained that it was supposed to have been stolen. She
requested him not to hang the poor girl, but if any guts-
tions were asked him to deny having given the change.
This he refused.

This evidence was corroborated by Mrs. Pastel', who, in
addition, said, that Mrs. Stanley asked her, as a mother
herself, not to say any thing about the poor girl, for the
sake of her child. [The prisoner has a child nursed by
Mrs. Stanley.]
Mrs. Stanley, who had hitherto denied all knowledge
of the transaction, was now called in, and after being cau-
tioned by Mr. Laing of the situation in which she stood,
and of the necessity for her speaking the truth, stated that
on Sunday, the 13th ult., Caroline Fitzallttn came home,
and said that she had been at Mr. Brooks's. In the
course of the afternoon she told her that she pas
going to be married, and wanted to make some put,
chases the next day. She then produced a SQL note,
and asked her, could she get it changed, which she did at
the Golden Hart. Several purchases were made, and
pledges redeemed with apart of the money, until Mr. Brooks
called some time on the Monday, and told the prisoner that
he had lost a note, and she must go with him to his house.
She denied all knowledge of the note but went with him.
When witness found that the prisoner was detained, she
began to suspect that all was not right, and exerted her-
self to get the note again. On going to Mr. Pastel', she
hinted the circumstance to him before she got the note,
and he said that he would not split for a thousand pounds,
and that if fifty Officers came he would deny giving change.
She afterwards redeemed the note, through the medium of
a man named Isaacson, a Jew, who paid the remainder of
the money, and gave her 44
Mr. Laing asked the witness, Pastel', if any such eon-
versation ever passed ?
Mr. Pastell declared on his oath, that nothing of the
kind had ever taken place.
Mr. LAING again cautioned the witness, Stanley, and
asked what purchases had been made at Mr. Bradley's ?
Mr. Bradley give a list of articles purchased, to the
amount of 71., and said that some days afterwards Mrs.
Stanley came and requested that if any one made inquiries
at his shop, he would deny the circumstance. This he
declined, and on Mr. Brooks calling, he told him all that
had occurred.

Mrs. Stanley solemnly denied any such conversation.
The numbers of the notes lost by Mr. Brooks, and that
taken by Mr. Pastel!, aro the same.
Several other witnesses were examined, but Mr. LaiNG
being of opinion that the presence of Isaacson, who had
redeemed the note, was indispensably necessary. The
prisoner Was remanded. There is another charge against
her.

QUEEN SQUARE.—(Tuts Dar. )
Maria Whatley was brought up from St. Margaret's
watch-house, on the following charge of robbery.
John 'Richey, of Canterbury-street, Cornwall-roade
Lambeth, stated, about half-past seven o'clock last night,
he met the prisoner in Tothill-street, Westminster, and
took her into a public house. On getting outside the door,
she put her hand into his right trouser's pocket, and stole
therefrom, one sovereign and a half, besides three shillings
in silver. The prosecutor instantly accused her of robbing
him, and demanded his money back, when the prisoner
struck him, and created a mob.

John Earle, a constable, said, that on hearisig a great
noise near the Sessions House, he came out of his house,
and saw the prosecutor in pursuit of the prisoner, whom
he accused of robbing him. On the parties reaching the
archway, in Little George-street, several persons had as-
sembled, and he saw the prisener hand over something to
a short young man, who ran away.
The prisoner denied the robbery, and declared that the
man %A-as completely intoxicated.
She was remanded, in hopes that the man may be ap-
i prehended.

Information was yesterday given at this office by Mr.
Deakins, belonging to the White Horse livery stables,
Pimlico, that a horse and Stanhope, valued at 100 gut.
nese, had been hired of him, an Wednesday last, by a
man named Smith, for that afternoon only, but had ne►er
since been returned.

iiir.iSinitaoainOrdered George Pople, the officer, to
take the gentleman's instructions, and lose no tint* In
tracing the property. Soon after the officer proceeded in
search, and at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,Woolwich,
he discovered the identical horse and stanhope. It appeared
that Smith shad put it out at livery there, and ordered
a dinner for three, of salmon, with rump steaks and oyster
sauce, which were to be got,ready by half-put six o'clock.
Before leaving, however, he told the waiter he was going
to a brother who resided 'in the town, and borrowed from
him two sovereigns, saying, that on lk return, he would
give him five shillings extra. The Waiter consequently
lent him the money, but the gentleman never returned.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—(hus DAY.)
William Nagle, a maritime-looking man was charged by
the keeper of a cook-shop, in Brostl•street, St. Giles's,
with violently beating a mahogany table, and divesting it
of one of its flaps.
The lady of the cook-shop stated with considerable vo-
lubility that the prisoner came into her shop yesterday rather
elevated. He called for a basin of soup, which she would
not serve him with, as she considered him in liquor.
On this refusal he applied a number.of hard words to
the hostess, and hard knocks to her table, which,
in the struggle, was despoiled of one of its leaves,
and she soon claimed reparation for her own insulted dig-
nity, and remuneration for the repairs due to her favourite
table, which became a piece of her domestic furniture, at
the same time, with her spouse.
Sir G. FARItANT advised a settlement, on the prisoner
expressing his willingness to make any reasonable conces-
sion. They went out, and almost immediately came to a
settlement.

The prisoner, on his re-entrance,laid.down five shillings,
which the complainant pocketted with " pretty consider•
able" glee. The prisoner then made a formal appeal to
Sir George, in which he claimed possession of the dis-
jointed leaf, but the application was refused, with costs,
one shilling, and discharged.
