VIOE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice. Chancellor KNIGHT Bauce.)
His Honour was engaged in hearing short causes of little public
interest.

(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRA.M.)
DYSON V. NORRIS.

His HONOUR gave judgment in this cause. The plaintiff was
the mortgagee of certain lands for securing payment to him of a
sum, the principal of which now amounts to 9,3501. Part of h►s
security consisted of a policy of insurance npon the life of the mort-
gager. The mortgager was the defendant, Thomas Brook Morris ;
and the other defendants were parties who represented two gentle-
men, named Meadows Taylor and Henry Brown, who, according to
the allegations in the bill, were formerly interested in the mortgage
money, although the mortgage was made in the name of Thomas
Brook Morris alone. The bill prayed that the policy might be sold,
and the proceeds arising from the sale be applied in satisfaction of
the mortgage debt. His Honour, after going through all the trans.
actions between the parties, said the plaintiff must take the usual
decree of foreclosure, retaining the policy for what it might be worth

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

James Welsh, a strange-looking man, was charged with begging.
An officer of the Mendicity Society said that he found the prisoner
begging, last night, about a quarter pas six, in New-street, Covent.
garden. On searching him 2s. Ild. in money was found upon his
person, and a book, such as is given to depositors of money in
Savings' Banks, showing that the prisoner had a deposit of 41. in
some bank. He was an old offender.

The prisoner, in explanation, said that he had found the book,
but as this statement did not meet with the credence which was,
perhaps, anticipated, he next endeavoured to excite the sympathy
of the worthy Magistrate, by recounting tales of suffering, the effect
of paralysis. This scheme, hcwever, also failed. The prisoner
then gave up all further endeavours to convince the Magistrate of
his native•simplicity, and with calm resignation received from the
Magistrate the sentence for his delinquencies, of one month's im.
prisonment.

A garrulous little Jewess, who appeared to be in that state which
ladies like to be who love their lords, applied for three summonses
against Sarah Levy, Esther Levy, and Joseph Josephs, for assault.
The lady stated that last night, about half.past eleven, she was
proceeding home to her domicile, 34, Castle.street, Long. acre,
but feeling rather thirsty, she stepped into Mr. Lacy's, at the
Garrick's Head, in Bow.street, to get a glass of porter, whilst there
Mrs. Levy deliberately came up, and spat in her face twice. She
also threatened to do for her, and to kick the child out of her.
Mr. Josephs then pinned her against the wall, whilst the gentle
Mrs. Levy, and her fair sister, punched her and beat her most de.
liberately, and literally tore the clothes from off her back. The
little woman then unfolded a bundle, of rags, which was erst a
gown. The summonses were granted.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIiza Loder, a fine grown handsome
young woman, but very meanly clad, and who appeared suffering
from illness and exhaustion, was placed at the bar, having been
taken into custody under the following circumstances. About
seven o'clock yesterday evening, she was observed walking alr,ng
the north bank of the Serpentine river crying bitterly. She was
watched by James Knight, one of the men belonging to the Royal
Humane Society, who approached her unawares and caught her in
his arms as she was about to throw herself into the water, she
having taken off her bonnet and laid at her feet. She was then
given into the charge of the police and taken to the station-house.
Mr. MkLTBY put several questions to the young woman, but at
first she seemed much averse to give any information respecting
herself, but eventually the worthy Magistrate elicited from her
that she belonged to the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth; her father
having carried on business there for many years, as a plumber and
glazier. She had been in service with Mr. Thompson, of Kenning.
ton Oval, nurseryman, but was obliged to leave in consequence of
illness, through which she had been in Guy's Hospital for eight
months. She was discharged from there about four months ago,
her father having died a few days previously.
Mr. MALTEY—Did you intend to destroy 'yourself ? Young
Woman—l did; the miserable state I was in induced me to take
that desperate resolve.

Mr. MALTBY—How have you supported yourself during the four
months; have you been on the streets? Young Woman (with
much emotion)—No, Sir, I have not. I have lived by selling my
clothes, a thing at a time, and some few articles my father left me.
Within the last few days I had not the means of procuring either
food or shelter, but have wandered the streets day and night.
Mr. MALTBY—If I discharge you now, have you any place to go
to, or relation which would assist you ? Young Woman—None
whatever, my mother died many years before my father.

_ .
Mr. MALTBY ordered half a crown to be given out of the poor.
box, and directed that the young woman should be taken to St.
George's Workhouse, and that she should be taken in there until
her case can be investigated.
