DOE V. ANGEL.

This was a case which was involved in a good deal of ob-
scurity; and the whole question was as to whether the de-
fendant was the lineal descendant of a man named Angel,
who died nearly two hundred years ago, leaving a will,
worded in most curious and rather amusing language. It
contained provision: to the effect that " nobody but an Angel
should inherit the estate, to the end of time ; that if the male
issue of the last male inheritor should fail, then another
Angel should inherit ; that a female in the course of time did
inherit, but that she was an Angel, inasmuch as that the
will commanded that, no matter how names by inter-
marriages might be altered, still the parties could only in-
herit by changing and becoming Angels; that they did so
change accordingly, and therefore all the inheritors
were Angels," &c., &c. Counsel for plaintiff then
entered at great length
.into a statement of the Angel
pedigree. The principal question was this, whether an
entry which appeared in the burial registry of Cleave Prior,
recording the death of a Thomas Angel, many years ago,
was identical with an entry which appeared in the baptismal
registry of Crowes, in Worcestershire, or rather whether the
Thomas Angel, whose name appeared in the one, as having
been born at Crowes, was the same person whose death is
recorded in the other as having taken place in Cleave Prior.
Counsel produced the registry of the death, which had all
the appearance of a very ancient document, and exhibited
the entry in question, which contended that unless it could
be proved that the entry was a forgery, his Learned Friend
could make out no case by which to disturb the verdict that
had been had for the plaintiff, after a trial of the case which
occupied two days before a special jury.
The arguments had not concluded when we went to
press, nor are they likely 'to be brought to a close before
two days.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 17.
(Sitting in Banco.)
SMITH V. HOLMES.

This was an action for false imprisonment, which the
defendant justified, under a capias ad satisfaciendum, issued
out of the Court of Queen's Bench, to which the plaintiff
replied, setting up certain proceedings in the Irish General
Insolvent Act, and an order of the Irish Court of Insolvency
for his discharge under that Act. To this replication the
defendant demurred, and the case now came on for argu-
ment.
Mr. V. RictrAnDs appeared in support of the demurrer,
and reminded the Court that the question they had to con-
sider was, whether the replication was a justification of
capias ad satisfaciendum —was good or bad in law. Now
he contended that it was not, because the capias
bad been legally and properly issued out of one
of the superior Courts, and the proper course for the plaintiff
to have pursued would have been to go before a judge, and
show that the capias bad been irregularly issued. Instead
of doing this, however, he had brought the present action for
a false imprisonment; and he contended for the defendant
that he had done so wrongfully. There was a larger ques-
tion involved in this case ; namely, whether the Irish Insol-
vent Act could extend to this country; but for the present
he should abstain going into that point.
Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., supported the replication, and cited the
Irish Insolvent Act, which expressly prohibited the arrest of
any person in respect of any debt from which he had been
discharged by that Act, and, therefore, he contended that the
replication was good in law.
The LORD CHIEN' BARON then gave judgment. It had
long ago been laid down, that in many cases parties were
exempted from arrest ; but they had clearly no right, in the
event of their being arrested or their goods distramed upon,
to bring an action for false imprisonment or trespass. He
took that view of the present case, fully convinced that
the Insolvent Acts, both of England and Ireland,
only exempted parties who had been discharged under
its provisions from arrest, and gave them no right of action.
It might be said, then, that the insolvent had no remedy
against an arrest, but this was not so, for he had the privi-
lege and the power to apply to the court issuing the writ to
have it set aside and quashed, on the ground of irregularity.
He was clearly, therefore, of opinion that the demurrer was
good; and, of course, the judgment of the Court must be fur
the defendant.

The remainder of the Court concurred in his Lordship's
view of the case, and judgment was recorded accordingly.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17.
REGISTRATION APPEALS.

Their Lordships this day resumed the hearing of the apr
peals from the decisions of the Revising Barristers. The first
case taken was that of

BARTON V. ASHLY,
which was the fifth on the list, four having been entered into
on Thursday.
The appellant in this case had objected to the name of the
respondent being placed on the list of voters, but it was
represented on the part of the respondent that the notice of
objection sent to the overseer of the parish did not contain a
sufficient description of the respondent's place of abode. The
Revising Barrister was of opinion that the notice was void.
On the part of the appellant it was represented that as no
inconvenience had resulted from the informality, that it was
in this case unimportant. A case was cited, in which the
Court held that the addition of certain unnecessary words to
a notice did not render the notice invalid, because no incon-
venience could result from the use of those words.
The COURT were of opinion, that though there was no in-
convenience resulting from the informality, that there might
have been, but for extra attention on the part of the over-
seers, and that the informality rendered the notice invalid,
though in this case no inconvenience occurred.
WOOD V. THE OVERSEERS OF WILLESDEN.

The appellant in this case had objected to the vote of a
Mr. Thorne, on the ground that the description of that gentle-
man's qualification, as given in the list of the respondents, was
insufficient, Mr. Thorne's qualification being set forth as
being in Nearden, in the parish of Willesden, whereas it
ought to be " Nearden Grove," &c.
After hearing Mr. Cockburn for the appellant, and Mr.
Arnold for the respondents,
TheirloßDsmrs decided that the description was suffi-
cient, and affirmed the judgment of the barrister.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKEIVWELL.

John'Adeock and William Delmarwere charged with ringing
the door-bell, and disturbing the inmates of Manor-house,
New ington.
A constable of the N division deposed that, on Sunday
night last, he saw the prisoners "larking," knocking at
doors, ringing bells, and other gentletban-like practices. The
houses at which they knocked were the most respectable in the
neighbourhood. They proceeded to Mr. Lebard's bell,which
they rung so violently as to terrify the inmates. Having rang
until they were tired, they laughed heartily at the affright
and alarm they had produced and then ran away. The
police pursued and arrested them.
Mr. Lebard of the Manor-house said, himself and family
were aroused from sleep by the knocking, which, from its
violence, they believed fire was the occasion of. They had
of late been much terrified by similar practices.
Mr. GREENWOOD said that for a length of time the inha-
bitants of Woburn-square (in which he resided) were
