TOWN-HALL

Sarah Winson, the young woman whose mu was
reported yesterday, as being at the point of death in
consequence of an unfortunate dispute with her bro-
ther, expired at seven o'clock yesterday morning.
Her last words were, " Oh ! have mercy on my
poor brother : it was not his fault, but mine." Al-
derman SMITW had sent orders to Mr. Law, the
keeper of the Borough Compter, to show the pri-
soner every leniency the nature of the case admits
of. The body lies for a Coroner's Inquest.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY Nov. 17.

DUKE OF ST. ALBAN'S V. DUCHESS OF ST. ALBAN'S.

This case arose upon the will of Lord Vere, who
bequeathed certain furniture, plate, and other chat-
tels, to trustees upon trust, to permit his wife to
use and enjoy the same during her life; and after
her death, that his son should enjoy the same effects
nerooht
jos time
be
Lord sole
during his life ; and after the death of the survivor,
in trust
v
tfor
Vere, the
testator'sersr persons
as shouldi n
tfim
motive for making such disposition being, that the
chattels should from time to time go with the title,
and be enjoyed by such persons as should bear that
n, timead
title, so far as the rules of law and equity would
permit. The matter first came under discussion
before the Master of the Rolls when Vice-Chan-
cellor, and he decided that the bequest in the will
constituted a direct gift, and that there was nothing
executory in it. After the testator's death, a great-
grandson was born, who, upon the deaths of those
to whom the previous enjoyment was limited, be-
came entitled to the chattels. The rules of law
and equity did not permit hini to be limited to the
use and enjoyment only ; but he took an absolute
interest, and that interest, his Honour decreed, was
now vested in his representatives. Against this de-
cision the present appeal was brought, and having
been partly argued yesterday, the discussion was
to-day resumed. The present Duke and Duchess
of St. Alban's were parties to the suit, but had no
real interest in it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR would consider the mat-
ter, and give judgment on a future day.
There was no business of general interest before
the Court.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 17.

At the sitting of the Court, the Hon. C. Lew
took the usual oaths as King's Counsel.

WHITEHEAD V. WATKIN.

Mr. BROUGHAM showed cause against a rule ob-
trined by Mr. Alderson on the part of the defen-
dant, to stay proceedings in this action, which was
brought to recover the amount of an attorney's bill
for business done for the defendant, in an action at
his suit against a person of the name of Askew.
The COURT, after hearivg some of the particulars
stated in the plaintiff's affidavit, referred the case to
the Master.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 17.
SMITH AND ANOTUEIt V. MOON.

This was an action of trover brought by the
plaintiffs, as assignees of Bulcock, a bankrupt,
against the defendant, to recover the value of some
prints, which it was alleged were the property of
the assignees.
It was contended on the part of the defendant,
►hat no act of bankruptcy had been committed by
Bulcock. It was proved, ►hat after attending a
meeting of his creditors convened for the purpose
of effecting an arrangement with them, Bulcock was
absent from his house between every meal, and that
he was twice denied to persons inquiring for him,
whilst talking to an attorney on business. But it
was insisted that he had merely done this in conse-
quence of being engaged in making exertions to

effect the desired arrangement with his ereditorv°
The Jury found for the defendant.
Mr. Serjeant ANDREWS now moved fora rule,l4:
show cause why the verdict should not be set ar"
and a new trial granted.
The COURT refused to d;sturb the verdict..
