COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

TUCKER V. INMAN.
This, which in substance was an application for a prohibition
t" !ton proceedings instituted by the defendant in the Eeclesi-
;mini Court, came before the Court by way of action. A verdict
'ag found for the plaintiff, to aet aside which a rule was obtained
hY Mr. Sergeant Nlanning, for the purpose of bringing the
ease, which is altogether one of law, before the full Court. Mr.
pageant Channel this day showed cause against the rule,
Mr. Sergeant Manning replied. The circumstances
out of which it occurred were these :—A lady, named
Sarah Inman, dying
.in her husband's lifetime, made a will,
111 Which she appointed him her executer. The husband dying
to, the defendants applied to the Ecclesiastical Court to prevent
e plaintiff (the surviving executor) from administering, on
the ground that the will was invalid, being made by a femme
corteerte The answer to this was that she had the consent
?tiler husband, and so the Jury found. The defendant ob-
tained the present rule on the ground that such amount was
sufficient. The arguments occupied the Court from its
setting to elate hour, when tbeirLordships took time to consider.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THISDA Y.)

RE SAMUEL GILES.
The insolvent's petition to be discharged was opposed on the
ground of vexatious defence to an action.

It appeared in evidence that he had joined a person named
George, who subsequently became bankrupt. in a bill of ex-
Change, for which he (Giles) received no consideration what-
ever, and an action being brought for the recovery of its amount
against bo h parties, George defended it, whilst the insolvent
consented to a Judge's order being taken by the plaintiff to
tome legal expenses, and tendered a portion of the amount of
the order. •
The COURT deemed that there was nothing in the casecalling
for a remind, and ordered the insolvent to be discharged forth-
with.

,Several unopposed petitions were disposed of during the
mw alog, and the applicants discharged.

l'ea shillings and sixpence. The other charges were against
%tee unfortunate females, whose means of support depend
11Pun the prostitution of their body, for annoying gentlemen.

1/Ere a verally dismissed with a caution.

it his face, wounded him with a sharp-pointed instrument in

:Ware, stated that about two o'clock this morning, on his re-
ing borne he found a young
"Itgenteman, a lodger of his, who

14 London;, just entering the house ; and as he was
poceeding up stairs, witness heard a noise on the
had
above. and knowing that the rest of the inmates
"til long previously retired to rest, he suspected that something
1118 going forward in his establishment that was not " correct,"
Ind, on proceeding up stairs, discovered the young woman
trciuching on the stairs, and, as the young gentleman denied
"11,3' knowledge of her, and she herself not attempting to ex-
Vain how she came there, witness called the police, and gave
'1,,.e! in charge. The Magistrate asked the young woman what
Z4feouht she was inclined to give of herself there.
The young woman, who seemed to be really ashamed of the
Ideation, reluctantly acknowledged that she had been intro-
'tired into the house by the "young gentleman" spoken of;
fact, she had visited him there before, as he was her sweet-
leart.
, The MAGISTRATE asked Mr. Barrell if he had reason to be-
eve that there was any truth in this statement?
, Mr. Barrell said he had, for after the young woman had been
'liken to the station-house, the young gentleman confessed that
'0 had brought her home with him.
The MAGISTRATE said that Mr. Barrell's lodger was to blame
ibd not the young, woman • he should therefore discharge her,
Id also advise Mr. Barrel; to get lid of his "young gentleman
finer," who had " come up to London for improvement.

Illy rejoiced.

tr6teetling this morning towards the Court, he observed
jirisoner crouching down in a supplicating attitude
Uhtswell-sireet, and the words—" lam starving," were
Pitten in chalk on the flag-stone, in front of him. Mr. Bing-
directed the attention of a policeman towards the prisoner,

t'vil,an, and given into custody.
The prisoner said that he was a journeyman book-binder,
'M. lie had been out of work for some time.
Mr. iltrionaat said that the circumstance of his running
