LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CUANCELLOWS COURT, FEE. 3.
.IYLWYN V. WILSON AND OTHERS.

Mr. KNIGHT said this was a motion for the pro-
duction of certain documents. The plaintiff had ob-
tained for the defendants the negotiation of a part
of a loan to be raised for the King of Denmark, and
the defendants had agreed to give him for this ser-
vice a briii44 of 5,0001., and to let Min have shares
in the loan to the amount of 20,0001. on certain
terms. The defendants had refused to perform their
part of the contract, and therefore this bill had been
tih3d,
Mr, flonNE opposed the motion. The defen-
dants denied the contract charged in the bill, as far
as the sum of 5,000?. was concerned; and they had
sworn that the documents referred to made no men-
tion of any such contract. The plaintiff had-re-
geived shares to the amount of 20,0001., and he sub-
roi4o4, therefore, that the Court could not entertain
this motion.
The VIE-11-COANCELLoR said, that if the docu-
ments did not:relate I,t) this alleged agreement, the
plaintiff had no right to call for them : and after the
positive
denial of the defendants on this subject, he
rzould not grant the motion.

LAW PLEAPINPO,

In a case in which the plaintiff brought an action
to recover the amount of wages due to his wife,
who had been discharged before the term for,which

she was hired expired, Mr. Sergeant Andrew's had
obtained a rule, calling on the plaintiff to show cause
why the counts in the declaration, amounting to
nine, should not Le reduced to three, the others be-
ing wholly unnecessary.
M. sergeant WILDE to-day showed cause against
the rule, and contended, that the whole of the counts
might be necessary, according to the nature of the
evidence adduced on the trial. He consented, how-
ever, to st►ike out fate• of the counts, on esiclition
that any evidence which might be ada►is=ible under
one of those struck cut should be received under the
other counts.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr. Fri!slifield appeared at the Mansion-house, to
pr,,fer. a charge of robbery against a young man
nain( d Thomas Hedgrtis. Mr. Freshlieid, who, it
is well known has devoted his valuable time for some
mo.abs to promote the service of the unfortunate re-
fugees, stated that the prisoner had been in the habit •
of conveying the several pecuniary allowances to
Guildhall for the use of the refugees. On the 24th
of January the prisoner was ordered to take a cheque
for I ;61. I to Mes:rs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's,
to be cashed, and to convey the gold and silver to
the Committee at Guildhall. The Committee
waited in vain for the cash—no messenger came.
Mr. Cresldield immedintely applied at tile Alarisiul:-
house for the assistance of the police, and Daniel
Forrester and Roe, the officers, were directed to
make the necessary inquiries, and apprehend the
thief.

It was ascertained by those officers that the mo-
ment the cheque was cashed, the prisoner went off to
a loose female, took her in a hackney-coach with
him to the neighbourhood of Rosemary-lane, and
from thence went in a stage-coach down to Birming-
ham, with the intention of sailing for America.
The coachman was found, but he would not im-
peach. The officers however were so minute and
indefatigable, that they learned that the prisoner had
put up at the house of a relation in Birmingham.
They proceeded thither, and apprehended him with-
out delay. In his pocket were found 51. in wove•
reigns, and some silver; and in a small box be-
longing to him no less than 120/was found in gold
and silver.

Mr. Freshtield said that the greatest credit was
due to the officers for their zeal and activity on the
occasion.

The woman who accompanied the prisoner was
put to the bar along with him, but she was soon dis-
charged.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial for this
scanddlous robbery.
