LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 12.
DESCH V. FROLICK.

This was an appeal from a decree of the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England. by which a dissolution of partner-
ship was pronounced between plaintiff and defendant,
who carried on business as tailors in Leicester-square;
the grounds of that decree was the lunacy of the de-
fendant, by which he was rendered unable to attend
to, or take any share in the business. The bill was
filed in December, 1837, and the decree was made in
May, 1839, declaring the partnership dissolved from
the year 1834. it was contended against the decree
that the lunacy of a partner did not, ipso facto, dis-
solve the partnership, as the business still continued
to be carried on with his capital. The decree, there-
fore, should only have dissolved the partnership from
the date of the decree itself, and not have had a retro-
spective operation.
Mr. STEWART was heard in support of the decree,
and had not concluded his argument when the Court
rose.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 12.
GODBOLD V. MAGNA', AND OTHERS.

This was an action brought by Edward Godbold
against the Sheriffs of Middlesex and their officers,
to recover damages for an arrest and false imprison-
ment. It appeared from the evidence that a writ of
ca. sa. had been sued out against one John Godbold,
and had been confided to Luckett, an officer of the
Sheriff of Middlesex for execution. The officer,
however, arrested Edward Godbold, the present plain-
tiff, instead of his brother John Godbold. The plain-
tiff was detained in custody for some hours, and had
brought the present action in consequenee.
In the defence it was contended that Edward God-
bold had voluntarily sought the officer, and had re-
presented himself to be John Godbold, the man
against whom the writ had been issued, for the pur-
pose of deluding the officer, and enabling John God-
bold to escape.
Mr. Whateley conducted the case for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Platt for defendants.

Several witnesses were examined on both sides.
The Jury found a verdict for plain ti ff—D am ages,lo/.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 12.

The Court this morning disposed of some uncle.
fended and other actions, which presented no feature
of the slightest interest or importance.

HOWARD V. ASIITON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a wool
merchant, to recover the sum of 341. 9s. for wool, al-
leged to have been sold to the defendant, a hat manu-
facturer, on his own account ; the defence being that
Mr. Ashton gave the order to the plaintift's agent
for the firm of Bowler and Jarratt, lately engaged in
the hat manufacture, in Southwark, who have
since failed. For the plaintiff, a young man, named
Richardson, his apprentice, and another, deposed
that Mr. Ashton gave the order to the former on his,
defendant's, own account, making no mention of
Bowler's name until after the purchase, when (it was
admitted) he directed the parcels to be addressed to
that firm. For the defence a letter from the plaintiff's
firm in Rochfort, addressed to Bowler and Jarratt, and
enclosing an invoice made out in their name was put in.
Mr.Jarrat also was called, and stated that Ashton showed
him samples of the wool in question, saying that he
wished to get an order to serve young Mr. Richard-
son, who was a friend of his son's. The witness
liked the sample, and consented to take two bales,
which Ashton agreed to order for him, and they
were received accordingly. Sometime afterwards the
plaintiff and Richardson called on him to inquire
how he liked the wool, when he told them it did very
well, hut he had used but little of it, and hoped they
did not expect the money soon. Howard replied
that it was not yet due, but in the proper time he
would apply. Witness considered the goods as
bought for him solely. Mr. Bowler was dead at the
time, though
,the business was carried on under the
old name up to the time of the bankruptcy.
The COURT directed that if they believed the evi-
dence of Richardson, the servant of the plaintiff, and
that of the elder Richardson, his father, that the de-
fendant first ordered the goods as for himself; and
afterwards, in directing them to Jarratt, said that he
and that firm could take them between them, they
must find for the plaintiff.
The .Jury retired, and after a short deliberation,
found for the defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YE STE RDAY.)
WORSHIP- STREE7'.
Thomas Twyman, alias Smith, a smartly dressed
young man, who was formerly employed as footman in
the family of Thomas Archimedes Russell, Esq., of
Cheshimt-park, Herts, was charged before Mr.
Broughton with having broken into the dwelling-house
of that gentleman, and stolen a cash-box, containing
254 sovereigns, 1501. in bank notes, together with
other property ; and Sarah Parker, a woman of the
town, was charged with being accessory to the robbery.
The prosecutor stated that the robbery was com-
mitted on 'Wednesday, the 7th inst., and the discovery
of it took place between six and seven o'clock on the
same evening. He had sat down to dinner with his
family, when a female domestic entered the room, and
informed him that she suspected that thieves were in
the house, the windows of his dressing-room and

library being wide open. He- immediately proceeded
up stairs, and, on examining his dressing-room, he dis-
covered that a drawer hAd been broken open, and that
his cash-box, containing the above-mentioned sum had
been stolen from it. The adjoining room had also been
ransacked, and several sovereigns abstracted from a
gun case belonging to his son. It appeared that the
thieves had climbed up to the verandah in front of
the window and had made their escape by leaping
down upon a flower bed which was nine feet below
it. The impression of a man's foot was discovered
in the mould underneath the window, and there was
also the mark of a knee, from which it appeared that
he had fallen down in making the descent. The male
prisoner was formerly in Jiis service, but he dis-
charged him about seven months ago, and suspecting
that he was a party to the robbery, he caused hand-
bills to be circulated, giving a description of his per-
son, and offering a reward for his apprehension.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked the prosecutor how long
the prisoner had been in his service and what was the
cause of his discharge.
The prosecutor said that the prisoner was two
years in his situation, and performed its duties in a
most satisfactory manner, but suspicions were at
length entertained of his integrity, which led to his
discharge.

Police Constable Gurling, G 94, stated that between
3 and 4 o'clock on Sunday morning he was on duty
in the City road, when he was accosted by the male
prisoner, who told him that he had just been robbed at
a house of ill-fame, situate No. '23, Windsor-place.
On asking him how much money he had lost, the pri-
soner said that the amount was from 1001. to 1501.,
and that he suspected it was stolen by one of the
women with whom he had spent the evening at the
Haymarket Theatre. The prisoner added that he was
a gentleman, and that the money was part of his for-
tune, of which he had lately come into possession.
Witness then proceeded to the house with the prisoner
and Police Constable Stannard, and on being ad
mitted by the landlady he found the female
prisoner and two other women inside, each of
whom denied all knowledge of the robbery. He
searched the house without finding any of the
money, and the prisoner began to manifest extreme
reluctance to proceed any further in the matter. Wit-
'l.-less, however, took all the women into custody, and
conveyed them with the prisoner to the station-house,
and on his way thither the prisoner said he had been
a gentleman's servant, and had saved the money out
of his wages. The prisoner was searched when he
reached the station-house, and three packets of money
were found upon him, consisting of one 10/. and two
51. notes, and 106 sovereigns. On making the dis-
covery, a reference was made to the " occurrence
book,' containing a record of the robberies that had
lately been committed, and it was discovered that the
description of the man suspected of the Cheshunt rob-
bery exactly corresponded with the appearance of the
prisoner. The prisoner, however, stoutly denied the
robbery, but on being again asked where he got the
money found upon him, he said that he had picked it
up on the Cheshunt road. He was then detained and
the women were liberated, but the female prisoner
was afterwards re-apprehended.
Sergeant Beaumont dated that he had been down
to the prosecutor's residence, and found that the male
prisoner's shoe exactly fitted the footmark under the
dressing-room window. He also found a large stone
imbedded in the mould where the mark of the man's
knee was visible, and the prisoner's trowsers were
torn at the• corresponding part.
The prosecutor said that the cash box had been
broken open and rifled : but, on examining a secret
compartment, he found two 51. notes and two cheques
for 25/. and 301., which had been overlooked by the
thieves.

Mr. BROUGHTON complimented the police upon the
admirable manner in which they had managed the
case, and said that he should commit the male prisoner
on the charge ; and although he considered that the
evidence was not sufficiently strong to bring home a
guilty knowledge to the female prisoner, he should
remand her for the present.
