LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 5

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TILDESLEY.

Th!s was an information, filed by the Attorney •General,
against the plaintiff, for the non-payment of duty upon a quantity
of bricks. The case had been tried before Lord Abinger at the
sittings after the last term, and a verdict w as found for the plaintiff.
The Attorney-General had since obtained a rule calling on the
plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted,
on the ground that the Learned Judge, in charging the Jury,
had used certain words which remained for their consideration
as part of the evidence.
Mr. LEE, en the part of the plaintiff; now applied for a dis-
charge of the rule, on the ground that in informations filed by
the Crown, the Court never granted new trials, after a verdict
had been returned for the defendants.
The CO IRT, after hearing the arguments on both side, stated
that they should consider their decision in the case.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.

The Loan MA you said, that in consequence of the publicity
which had been humanely given by the press to the robbery of
the poor woman named 'Ann Preston, in a Hammersmith om-
nibus, he had received some contributions for leer relief.
Amongst the contributions he had received was the following :
"My Lord,—l took the liberty to enclose to your Lordship
last Monday 51., with the signature ' O. L.,' in consequence of
the Mansion-house report of the ease of Ann Preston, who had
been robbed of her all in an omnibus, and of seeing that your
Lordship had expressed your readiness to receive anything for
her towards the alleviation of her loss. I hope you have re-
ceived my letter, and that your kind endeavours for her may
succeed in making her some amends for her loss. I should
think if she were to recollect herself she might call to mind
whether she had mentioned to any person or persons her pos-
session of money, and her intention of proceeding by an omni-
bus to invest it, as those robberies are generally got up on in-
formation and knowledge of the movements, &c., of those whom
it is intended to plunder.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obedient servant,
" May 4th." " O. L.
The Loan MAYOR observed that if the humane writer of
the letter had given his address, a letter of acknowledgment
should have been sent to him the moment the money was re-
ceived.
