LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARCH 30.
APPLICATION FOR AN INJUNCTION.

nAx/uN V. Ruatrirazys.

Mr. SEYMOUR applied on behalf of
.the plaintiff, the
infant daughter of the late Mrs. nankin, for an injunc-
tion to restrain the defendant from interfering further in
the management of the business of undertaker, which he
had conducted in Brewer-street, Grosvenor-square, as ex-
ecutor of that lady. The learned gentleman also moved
that a receiver be appointed to collect the debts and other
personal property of the' testatrix. The affidavits
in support of the application were made by a
Mr. Woodgrove,- the co-executor under the will
of Mrs. Hankin, and by the paternal uncle of the infant.
The mother, it was stated, died in January 1824, leaving
Woodgrove and Humphreys her executors, and directing
that her business should be conducted by the latter gentle-
man, for the benefit of her infant daughter. Humphreys
alone proved under the will. Being at the time informed
that there was a claim against 'the estate, to the extent of
8001., which was due by the husband of the testatrix,
Humphreys paid this sum to the creditors of Mr.
Hankin, and proceeded to take into his hands the
exclusive management of the trade 'of the testatrix,
which was that of an undertaker. He at the
same time took the infant into his custody.
—The affidavits charged that the little girl had
been much neglected, both in her education and dress.
She was sent to a school wholly unsuited to her state and
expectations, where 7s. a week only were paid for her in-
struction. The trade itself was 'said to be very badly at-
tended to, and falling away in consequence of mismanage-
ment; and when Woodgrove,.in his capacity of executor,
applied for an account of the profits of the business, he was
told that Humphreys had parchavd it for his own be-
nefit, and was therefore not responsible for its ma-
nagement 'to any person. It was also stated that
the little girl had lately ran away from the defen-
dant's house, to that of her uncle, and that her ap-
pearance was that of a child Who had been much neglected.
The affidavits went on ,to say that the family of the de-
fendant lived in his house, and subsisted on the profits of
the business which belonged exclusively to the infant.
'That the relatives of his wife had been seen dressed in the
clothes of the testatrix at Deptford, and that as the defendant
himself was now dangerously ill, there was every reason to
suppose that in the event of his death the property to which
the infant was entitled would be-made away with by his
family.

Mr. COE opposed the application. The defendant was
the son of Mrs. Hankin,' by her first husband, and had
mortgaged his own estate to pay off the incumbrances af-
fecting the business of her husband, which was the same
since conducted by himself. The Learned Gentleman,
therefore, submitted, that as the defendant had a lien to a
large amount on this trade, which was of a very trifling
value, the motion ought to be refused.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR enquired what the amount of
Mrs. Hankin's property was at her death. . •
Mr. SEYMOUR, said it was very considerable indeed.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought the amount of the pro-
perty of the testatrix might have been more clearly de-
scribed. In the absence of exact information on that point,
he must refuse the application.

EX-PARTE NEWMAN; IN THE 2. LATTER OF JONES A

BANKRUPT.

Mr. RICHARDS said, this was the petition of a creditor,
praying that the certificate of the bankrupt be stayed, and
the petitioner be allowed to prove his debt under the com-
mission. The petition stated that Jones was declared a
bankrupt in the month of May, some time previously to
which a main of cocks, belonging to a man named Mar-
sthhaellcoonekoTits,idwe,,e3atn4it o
ter, bne...thteheotbhaenr,krwupast
and peti-
tioner
fought at
joined in accepting a wager of 801. on the result.—
Having lost the wager, the petitioner paid the whole sum,
arid the bankrupt remained in his debt for 401. his share
of the loss. Under these circumstances, the Act of Par-
liament disqualifying a bankrupt who has lost 20/. by
gaming in one day, or 2001. within a year before his bank-
ruptcy, or 2001. by stock-jobbing, from obtaining his cer-
tificate, this petition was filed.
Mr. ROSE,. on ,behalf of the bankrupt, admitted the
above facts, but contended that, inasmuch as his client
had accepted a wager of 45/. to 401. on the other man's
coekii, on the, same occasion, which he, of course, woiT,
he not only lost nothing that day, but was a winner to
the amount of 5/., and, therefore, not disqualified by the
Act of Parliament.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion that the

had-diseutitled itiroself -to his certificate within
the meaning of the Act. His Honour, therefore, granted
the prayer of the petition.

1 A REAL BLACK OTHELLo.—We went on
Tuesday night to witness the novelty of a negro sustaining
1 one of the most trying and difficult characters in the whole
1 range of tragedy. The African Roscius is a tolerable
Othello. His figure, indeed, and his enunciation are both
truly African ; but his attainments, considering the ob-
stacles he has to contend with, may be said to he respect-
able. He frequently, and sometimes dcsertvhede lyle,ftelhicaintedd,
something o
rapturous plaudits, especially in that scene where he seizes

tall Isgo, this scene approaches to the ridiculous, unless

strong remorse for haying rashly and cruelly murdered his
wife, he fell on the appalling Work-

perhaps an improvement;
but the fall he gave himself after using the dagger.wlth
dreadful.. His ii &Id and shoulders carne first to the ground,
which must 'have hurt him considerably' Of the other
characters little Reed be said.--Glasgow Free Press.
