LAW IN'TELIAG_ENCE.
QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco after Term.)
THE QUEEN V. KENRICK AND ANOTHER.
"This was an indictment against the two defendants,
father and son, for a conspiracy to defraud. While
the proceedings against them were going on, and be-
fore the day of trial, the younger Kenrick died. The
elder Kenrick was tried alone, and convicted.
Mr. BYLES had obtained a rule nisi in arrest of
judgment, on the ground that the indictment was bad,
on the ground of its being too general, and on the
ground of a mis-statement ; because if two parties
were indicted for a conspiracy, and one was acquitted,
the other could not be convicted. In this case one of
the defendants had died before the trial, and therefore
it was contended that the other could not be convicted.
Mr. TuESIGER this morning argued at great length
against the rule, and Mr. ERLE in support of it.

EXCHEQUER:COURT-THUS DAY.

1131101iir v. SHEARSLEY.

This was an action of trover, brought on rather
novel gi-oundsi narnely, to recover the amount of the
value of a dead horse.

It appeared that the plaintiff is a cab-driver, and
the defendant the keeper of a livery-stable in Somers-
town. In-the month of June last, an accident hap-
peried-to nhorse of the plaintiff; and •the defendant
gave•him leave to remove it to his stables. The horse
died on a Sunday ; and on the following day the de-
fendant refused to. allow it to be sold, unless he was
paid some rent, which he claimed of the plaintiff.
It seemed that the horse was then detained
in the stable until it became of no value.
A knacker, who was produced as a witness on the
part of the plaintiff, stated that he had offered 50s. for
the horse on the Saturday before it died, and it would
have been worth as much if sold immediately after it
had been killed; but, after a day or two, it would be
worth nothing. This witness was understood to ad-
mit, amidst the laughter of the Court, that 'the price
of horse-flesh had risen since the passing of the new
tariff, since the introduction of American pork.
Witness.—lf the horse had been pickled after it died
it would have been of more value.----(Laughter.)
Tl.e Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, in the
sum of five shillings, but the Court refused to certify
in his favour for the amount of his law expenses.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE JOHN WALKER.
The insolvent in this case was opposed by Mr.
Cooke, for Messrs. Flint and Taylor. It appeared
that the attorney for the opposing creditors had
brought an action against the insolvent to recover 331.,
to which he pleaded, and the matter went to trial ; but
a mistake having been made in the service of the writ, a
rule for anew trial was obtained, and the insolvent
also defended it, whereby costs were accumulated to
the amount of 701. 16s. In his examination by the
Learned Commissioner, the insolvent admitted that
he had omitted from his schedule twenty-three debts,
which he had assigned over to a creditor named Todd,
as security.
Mr. Commissioner llAnnis ordered the case to be
adjourned to complete the schedule, which was now
very imperfect. He thought he could not entertain
utes defence, after so many mis-
d on all sides.
then removed in custody.

Mr. Loder having applied to the insolvent, who was

perty had been made over to a person named Grange,
and also found out that some of creditors had been,
under this arrangement, paid ss. in the pound. 681.

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS ordered that the sche-
dule should be amended by adding the names of
of those who had. already received the dividend of .55.,
who, of course, would be the last, as in bankruptcy, to
get a share in the further dividend.
IN RE STEPHEN GEAREY.
The insolvent applied to be liberated on bail. He
was the patentee of a certain invention for improving
locomotives on railroads and for steam-packets; the
patent right in which was lodged in Court with the
official assignee for the benefit of his estate, which he
alleged would be able to pay 20s. in the pound, if he
could realise the profits from the different companies
with which he stated himself to be connected.
Bail was allowed to justify in the sum of 7001., and
the insolvent was liberated.

POLICE INTELLIG ENCL.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young girl named Eliza Wilton,who is the
terror of every goaler in the metropolis, was brought
up charged with wilfully breaking eleven panes of
glass in the shop window of Mr. White, of Long-acre.
The prisoner's clothes were hanging about her in
rags, having been torn in bringing her to the station-
house. It appeared that she only came out of prison
this morning for the same offence with which she was
now charged. As soon as she appeared in the dock
she took off her boot and aimed it at the Magistrate,
but it missed him. The last time she was brought up
she aimed an inkstand at the Magistrate.
The charge was gone into and fully proved. It
appeared that as soon as she came out of prison this
morning she went direct to Mr. White's house and
committed the offence of which she stood charged.
Mr. White said he was in bodily fear of her ; she
was the most desperate woman in London. She said
she would do it.
Prisoner—And I kept my promise.

Mr. TIM-ORD—Well, then, the only course will

Prisoner—Very well, look out when I come out—
I'll keep my promise.

The prisoner was then removed.
Mr. White said she would be sure to return to his
house as soon as she came out. She had a spite to •
wards him, because he once assisted in having her
taken into custody.

Mr. TWTFORD'gave directions for her to be imme-
diately brought before him if she did, and he would
order her to find bail to keep the peace for twelve
months, and she would, therefore, be imprisoned for
that time.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Selina Wells, a young woman dressed in deep
mourning, was charged under the following singular
circumstances :

Mr. John Singleton residing at Berkeley-place,
Blackfriars-road, stated that on the 19th of June last
the prisoner came to his house ; he had been pre-
viously acquainted with her. She began to tal.k of
the Wizard of the North, Mr. Anderson, who was
.then playing at the Strand Theatre, and earnestly
pressed him and his wife to allow their little son, a
boy four years of age, to go with her that night to
the theatre. After much entreaty they consented.
She promised to bring him home on the following
day. Soon after her departure a considerable quan-
tity of Wearing apparel was missed. On the
following day happening to go to see a friend of
his, Mr. Ribshire, a boot and shoemaker, residing
in Leicester-square, he was informed that the prisoner
had called there on the previous evening, and on Mr.
Singleton's card and the confirmation of the child,
obtained a quantity of boots and shoes. As she did
not return, nor the child, being almost distracted at
the loss of his child, he advertised them in all the
newspapers and in handbills ; a fortnight after; be-
tween ten and twelve o'clock at night, a cab drove up
to his door, in which, to their unbounded delight, was
their long lost child. The child told him, and so did
the cabman, that the female put him into the cab in
the Strand, gave Mr. Singleton's address, and went
away. Last night; between eleven and twelve o'clock,
he accidentally met the prisoner walking in Eagle-
street, Holborn, with some other persons. He imme-
diately gave her into custody. •
The prisoner not having the least defence to make.
was committed for trial on the charges of robbery, and
obtaining goods on false pretences.

MARYLEBON E—(THIS DAY).
John APHardy, a respectably-dressed young man,
was charged with stealing from the Euston Hotel,
Euston-square, a valuable gun and case, the property
of Primrose Fitzgerald, Esq., a gentleman of fortune
residing there.
James Jones, clerk at the above hotel, said that
the prisoner was hall porter when Mr. Fitzgerald
came to the hotel in November, 1841, bringing with
other property the gun and case in question. Shortly
after both were stolen, and Messrs. Dethier and Van-
tini, the proprietors of the house, not being
able to trace the property by advertising
or otherwise, paid Mr. Fitzgerald the value,
and he soon afterwards left London for
a tour through Ireland. The prisoner was discharged
in three months after for some trifling fault, and
(the witness) about the same time got an anonymous
letter, promising restitution of the stolen property if a
certain sum of money would be given to the writer.
From some expressions contained in that letter, he
was led to think that M'Hardy was implicated, and
going to his lodgings in Chapel-street, Somer's Town,
he found there the empty case, which he believed to
be the one stolen.

John Larkin, vice-maker, IG, Drummond-crescent,
said that about seven or eight months ago he was sent
for by a friend of the prisoner's to a house in South-
ampton-street. He went, and found in the room
the prisoner, his friend, and a brother, they wished
him (witness) to open a gun-case, and he fitted a key
to it ; the contents were a gun, a flask, and some
copper caps. The property was afterwards removed
to M'Hardy's lodgings in Chapel-street. He believed
the gun to be the same.
Other evidence v.as given proving, beyond a doubt,
that the prisoner had committed the felony. When
asked if he had anything to say, he merely requested
that Mr. Long " would order the reporters to suppress
his name as his parents were very respectable."
He was remanded till Thursday week that Mr.
Fitzgerald might be written to, and the missing gun,
if possible, recovered.
