THE KING V. BRADLEY.

DE VALTX AN) ANOTHER V. SEWELL.

HAWKES v. HAWKE'S.

PRICE 7D.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dp:c. 14.
BRETT V. FISHtR, &C.

In this case, which was a question of right as to
the payment of tolls on a turnpike near Cambridge,
after a great variety of documentary evidence had
been adduced in support of the facts on either side,
the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs,--thus
establishing their right to demand tolls.

In the course of the day the ATTORNEY-GENE-
RAL informed the Court that he had received a let-
ter from the Duke of Wellington, stating that he
Would be unable to appear as a witness in the above
cause to-morrow, for which day it was fixed. His
Grace was subpaenaed by the defendant, and as he
<the Attorney-General) would be unwilling to de-
prive him of any-evidence which might 'serve him,
he requested that the cause might be postponed to
Monday. It would not occupy much time; at
least the case for the prosecution was very short.
Lord TENTERDEN would sit at Guildhall to hear
common jury causes up to one o'clock on Monday,
at which time he would come here and take the
cause.. , :

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 14.

This was an action against the defendant, one of
the officers of the Lord Mayor's Court, for suffering
the escape of a person named Goldstein, whom he
had been authorised to arrest. There was a second
count, for not having arrested him when be might
have done so. The defendant pleaded the general
issue.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—
Damage; 40s.

PREROGATIVE COURT, DEC. 14.
swim v. ROBY, &C.

This was a suit to determine the validity of an
unexecuted will of Times Hoby, bearing date the
17th August, 1825. The testator, who had for-
merly been a keeper of a brothel, had retired with
considerable property (about 4,0001.) to Wlham-
green, where he died in March, 1826, aged 48,
leaving two brothers, Thomas and Daniel Hoby, his
next of kin. In the will before the Court he be-
queathed the bulk of his property to his cousin-
geiman (James Hoby) to the prejudice of his own
brothers. It was admitted by the propounder of
the will, that after the date of it, the deceased was
insane, and continued so, with occasional lucid in-
tervals, till his death. On the other side it was
contended, that insanity. had developed itself before
the date of the will in sundry acts of extravagance,
such as insisting upon having the pears in his garden
gathered during rain, and ordering his gardener to
mount the trees in a box-coat, with an umbrella in
his hand.

The COURT deferred sentence, in order that the
teiTogatories to the witnesses might be fully con-

This was a case of peculiar and embarrassing kind.
The testator, John Simpson Hawkes, of Reading,
Berks, died on the Ist of May last, at Brighton,
leaving 13 children by his wife deceased, and two
natural children by a female named Fanny Dearlove,
with whom be cohabited. His property amounted
to upwards of 40,000/., 30,000/. of which was per-
sonal ; the freehold estata was of the yearly, value of
2001. By a will, drawn up by himself, dated in Oct.,
1826, he made a distribution of his property. About
eighteen months before his death he called upon
Mr. Henry Faithful, a. solicitor at Brightcn, (an en-
tire stranger to him, to whom he put a hypothetical
case for his opinion, respecting a provision for an
illegitimate family ; at. a subsequent visit he acknow-
ledged the case to be his own ;, and then, and upon
succeeding occasions, he altered and interlined his
will, sometimes in pencil, sometimes in ink : upon
one occasion, when Mr. Faithful was about to make
an alteration in ink, he desired that it might be
made in pencil, in order that the will, as originally
framed, might stand good if he died. About two
months prior to his death, he consulted Mr. Faith-
ful on the subject of erasing the provision for
Fanny Dearlove and her family from the will, and
providing for them by a deed of settlement to avoid the
legacy duty. He opened a communication subse-
quently with an insurance office
,on the same subject,
but the transaction was not brought to a close at his
visit to the solicitor, on the 30th of April, the day
previous to his death. He then spoke of the un-
certainty of life, stated his inability to effect the
deed, and intimated that he should substitute a sum
which he had at his banker's. He added, that he

felt weak • and then he deposited the original will
and another testamentary paper, (marked 1 and 2
in the cause,) and also two other papers, (marked 3
and 4,) containing directions respecting the convey-
ance of the property to Fanny Dearlove and, her
famify, with Mr. Faithful, who, after the testator's
death, which happened suddenly the ensuing day,
delivered up the documents to Mr. Samuel Ihiwkes,
son of the deceased. The questions in this exceed-

ingly difficult case were, -whether the deceased in-
tended that the papers propounded should operate
as his last, will ; if so, whether he intended the will
should operate in its original form, or with the al-
terations in ink and pencil, both or either.
Sir J. Nicnou.---What do you pray ? Intestacy?

Dr. LusiiriGTON—We are content that probate
should be decreed to the will in its original state. 1
confess, however, that I am totally incapable of un-
derstanding the case.
Sir JOHN NICTIOLL said, it would be better if the
will, in its original state, could be taken probate of;
that would be the safest way.
Dr. Pittu,imonE requested time to consider what
had best be done.
The COURT directed the case to stand over till
the caveat day, the Bth of January next.

CCIURT-MARTIAL.—An order for the re-
assembling of the members who formed the Court which
lately sat in the New Barracks in the City, for the trial of
Lieutenant WITinUNOTON, on chargei preferred against
bins by Sir GEonQE BINGnAm, the General commanding
the district, is -the subject of much conversation in the
military circles here. General Sir CHAITLES DOYLE, it
'will be recollected, was President of that Court Martial,
the result of whose proceedings was the acquittal of the ac-
cused. This result, it seems, did not inset approval at
Head Quarters, and the communication which made the
gallant officer acquainted with the sou-concurrence of the
Commander-in-Chief, is reported to be drawn up inipe-
culiarly strong language. The Court, as we have
' stated, is ordered to re-assemble ; but there will be
sonic delay at all- events in effecting this as two of
the Officers, who composed it have since sailed for
the West Indies, and must be brought back, before
the tribunal can be competently foigned, for the pur-
pose of re-consideration. As the military profession is
regulated by certain laws, applicable to itself, of which all
who belong to it must be supposed to be cognisant, of course
this procedure cannot be.Fonsidered harsh or severe, as no
doubt there is author:ty for resorting to it; but, in the eyes
of a mere civilian, it would he regarded as an intolerabh
hardship to put a man upon trial a second time, urn
charge 'of which he had been once acquitted. In case,
where Courts Martial are ordered to re-assemble in order to
re• consider their finding, no new evidence is admissible.
They are only called upon to re-examine the minutes or evi-
dence, and pronounce whether they couldnot come to a dif-
ferent conclusion from that to which they had originally
arrived. We hear it is not usual with Courts Martial to
return a verdict against themselves.... Cork Southern Re-
porter.
