Towards the end of last week, the bodies of a fe-
male and of a young man, aged about 21, having been found
dead together, were taken to the Morgue. On an autopsy
being made, the traces of an active poison were discovered, and
their deaths attributed to it. They have since been recognised
to be those of a married woman, who, having committed adul-
tery, Wia driven by remorse or fear of detection, to commit
suicide, and of her paramour, whom she had induced to join her
int he fatal act.

Rpr.Eßs V. GRAZEBKOOKE.-JUDGMENT.

The Loan CHANCELLOR ,'ave judgment to•dsy in this case,
which came before his Lordship a short time since, upon appeal
troth the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor ot,,England, order-
ing thn sum of 1,000/., the produce of a policy of insurance, to
be paid into Court, for the benefit of the creditors of the bank-
rupt in this cause. His Lordship varied the order of the Court

The COURT then proceeded to hear appeals.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, May 28.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR or ENGLAND took causes to-day,
none of which possessed any point of interest.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, May 28.

THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF YORK.-MANDAMUS.

In this ease the ,SOLICITOR-GENERAL had obtained
a rule for a mandamus, calling upon the Corporation
of York to pay a certain compensation to Robert Clay-
ton, an attorney practising in one of the local courts in
York, which had been thrown open under the Operation of the
Municipal Corporation Act. The return to the mandamus
denied that Robert Clayton was entitled to any compensation,
inasmuch as the Court still existed, and he was still practising
in tLe same, and that the only alteration made in its co..stitu-
firm was, that whereas fnrmerly certain persons had possessed
a monopoly of the tractiee of that Court, that monopoly ha
been broken up, and the Court bad been thrown open to the
profession► generally.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contend,d that the return was
bad, that Ciao ton if he practised at all, practised as an attorney
of Westminster Hall, that he had hell an office within the
meaning of the Municipal Corporation Act, which had by that
Act been aboli.hed, and that he was entitled to compensation.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that the return was
a good one, that there was nothing to show that
Clayton, practised as an attorney of Westminster Hall,
and that, for aught that appeared to the contrary, he m;ght be
practising solely by virtue of his f ;rrner admission as an at-
torney L.f the Cunt in question. He denied that Clayton held
an office within the meaning of the Act, and argued that if
Clayton were entitled to conq,ensition, every tradesman whose
manopoly of trading had been broken down by having the mar-
kets thrown open in certain towns, would be cqualiy entitled
to compensation.
The COURT took time to consider its judgment.
THE LIVERPOOL ABDUCTION CASE.
CRELLIN V. LEYLAND AND BULLER.

Mr. JEavis applied to the Court on behalf of the defendants,
who are !milkers in Liverpool, for an interpieadcr rule calling
upon Ann Credm and John Orr Macgill to come in and decide
their respective rights to a cert in sun of money in defenda,4's
p.t.session, to recover which an action had been brought by
Ann Crellin against the defendant. It appeared that Ann
Crellin had Ithiged in the cl-f,ndant's hands a sum of
motley, of which a balance of 1,601/. ISs. 9d. remained. She
had brought an action to recover this balance, and defendants
had r. ceived a notice, signed John Orr statng that
he was the lawful husband of Ann Crellin, warning them, at
their pefil to pay the said money over to Ann Lrellin alias
Maegill, and demanding from the defendants that they shou\d
pay the said sum of 1,6011. 18s. 9d. over to him. This they
refused to do, as it was nt4torious that the said Alacgill was at
this moment in the gaol of Kirktiale, charged with having been
guilty of the abduction of Ann Crellin, of which char.;e, should
he be convicted, the marriage would be null and void. The
defendants were perfectly willing and desirous of paying the
money to the lawful owner, but it was rather hard that the
question of the validity of Miss Crellin's marriage should be
tried in this manner at their expense, more especialy while
criminal proceedings were pending by which the question
would be decided. An application had been made for an in-
terileader rule to Mr. Justice Wightrnan but his Lordship had
'directed the application to he made to the full Court.
Lord DEsimANl—Who would be the parties to the issue?
. .

Mr. Janvis-1 am afraid the husband anti wife, my Lord ;
but the Act says nothing abaut that. The object of the Act
clearly is to prevent parties standing in the situation of the de-
fendants, who are willing to pay the money to those who have
a right, being placed in this manner between two fires.
Lord DENMAN—VoI may take a rule to show cause, on
bringing the money into Court.—Rule nisi granted.

INSOLVENT' COUR7, May 28.
IN RR THOMAS WARE.

Ile insolvent was &scribed as a surgeon and chemist. carry-
ing on business in Holton New Town. His debts and liabili-
ties were described as amounting to about 870/., and his a?sets
were comparatively trifling. He attributed his insolvency to
the fact of losses trom speculations which he entered into with
regard to the Cornish mines, which had b.•en the ruin of so
many; as appeared in the, investigations in Cave's bankruptcy.
His petition was unopposed.
A few trifling debts having been inserted in the schedule, the
insolvent was ordered to be discharged forthwith.

PREROGATIVE COURT, May 27.
There were many motions disposed of, in which probate was
refused to papers not executed in conformity with the New
Will Act.
IN RE GOODS OF THE MOST NOBLE CHARLES MARQUIS

OF HERTFORD.

Dr. ADDAMS applied for the grant of probate to the will,
and 33 papers offerer as codicils, of the late Marquis of
Hertford, who died on the Ist of March last. The will was
dated on the 25th of February, 1623, and with the codicils
were all in the handwriting of the deceased nobleman.
Some of the papers were written abroad, others in Eng•
land, with many interlineations and alterations. Of the
codicils executed since the New Will Act. came into opera-
tion, some were not is conformity with the provisions of
the law. The executors mused in the will were Lord Low-
ther, Mr. (now Sir Robert) Peel, Mr. Henry _Cooke, Mr.
John Wilson Croker, and Mr. Hopkinson. These parties
were also appointed residuary legatees in trust, and the
Earl of Conway (the present Marquis) residuary legatee.
A codicil, dated in 1830, revoked the appointment of
Mr. Robert Peel, and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Harvey were
named instead. A codicil of August, 1834, appointe i Mr.
Meynell as an executor also. The Learned Advocate, in sup-
port of the grant to Lord Lowther and his co-executors, ob-
served that there were duplicates and triplicates of some of the
papers. Some were gilts conditionally. It was, however,
necessary that a representation should lie given to the vast
property It ft by the testator, especially as there were civil and
criminal suits no' ogon. . _

Sir 11. J ENNEIt FUST grimed probates to the wills p.nd ,ueh
of the codiclls as could pass. And the Learned Counsel, wish
-he proctor and the registrar, were directed to 1,,0k over the
wht,le of the papers, to discover which should be parsed of en-
:Med to the grant.
A question arose as to s ime valualile property cnnta;neil in
a box at Milan ; and which, by a indica, was given to the
Countess Zichy
.1 he COUftT directed the box to b opened in the practice of
the Countess.

DANES V. FEUCHEKES.
The Cou KT was occupied the rest of the clay in hearing ar•
guments as to the admissibility of an allegation in this case.
The further hearing was postponed till the next session.

SECO VDARIES' COURT, May 27.
LAWES AND* ANOTHER V. SHAW.

In this case Edward Huits-n Vitruvius Lawes and William
Barber, ItegiArars of the Bankruptcy Court, were plaintiffs,
and James thaw the defendant. The action was brought to
recover the sum of 1,0001., being the sixth part of a bond of
6,0001., catered into by the defendant and five o hers, by way
of security for James Clark, late an official assignee of the
Court of Bankruptcy. The defendant having suffered jur,g.
ment to go by default, the Jury were now called upon, under
a writ of inquiry, to a. secs the amount of damages to which the
plaintiffs were entitled.
Mr. PLATT, in opening the case, said that in January, 1832,
Mr. Clark was appointed an official assignee of the 13 .nkrupicy
Court, at which time the bond was given that was tip. sultp-et
of this inquiry. From that period various sums were entrusted
to his care, arising from various bankrupts' estates, and
he 12th of April, 1841, he wrote •a letter to Sir Charles
Frederick Williams, the Commi,sioner, tendering his re-
signalion, and informing that learned gentleman, of his
(Mr. Clark's) defalcation, and his inability to meet it. He
had kept, it appeared, large sums of money in his possess:on,
amount.ng in all to about eight thousand pounds, and
which he ought to have paid into the hands of the Accountant-
General. It, therefore, became necessary that the CoUrt of
Bankruptcy should call on the sureties, but on inquiry being
made, some of them it was found had become insolvent, and
others were Lying abroad and were not worth a farthing. The
plaintiffs had, therefore, proceeded against Mr. Shaw for the
recovery of the sum of 1,000/. It would be proved that from
fourteen different estates the assignee had received aboie 1001.
and retained those sums in his ow.) possession The Learned
Gentleman then detailed the several amounts received by Mr.
Clark from the estates of various bankrupts, the most of which,
he said, had found their way to Mr. Clark's private banking
account.

A number of witnesses were examined, connected with the
Bankruptcy Court, in support of the Learned Counsel's state-
ment, and the bond, signed by Mr. Shaw, the defendant, was
out in. It also transpired, in the course of the inquiry, that in
the case of Marriss and Nicholson, in which Mr. Clark had re-
eeived upwards of 1,700/. and in other instances in which he
was a defaulter, that the fiats ansi commissions could not be
found, but the evidence, exclusive of those cases. showed that
Mr. Clark had rec, ived the sum of 3,459/. 16s. 11d. It was
stated that 473,000/., and upwards, had passed through Mr.
Clark's hands during the time he was official assignee.
Sir Charles Frederick Williams, the Commissioner of Bank.
ruptcy, was, examined at considerable lendth, in the course ( f
which he stated that he 'Jai entertained a very high. opinion of
Hr. Clark as an effi'lient offi .er. The per ceotage to which
the assignee was entitled offhts receipts was 1/i per cent. over
every 1,000/., 1 per cent. under that sum, 21/2 per cent. for
500/., and 5 per cent. below that sum. He was also allowed
5/., 10/., 151., or '2Ol. for the examination of a bankrupt's ac-
counts, according to the discretion of the Commissioners.
Mr. Clark, in his cross-examination, stated that he believed
the Court owed him as much as he was deficient, and "a little
more." lie admitted that some years ago he was deficient of
4,000/., and that he had me,tioned it to Mr. Commissioner
Fane, during the absence of Sir C. F. Williams, and Mr.
Fane had told him (Clark) that he should be bound to report
it, but he would do so favou.ably. Oa that occasion b , bor-
rowed the money, and made it all up but 1,200/. He had
allowed 990!. and upwards, which was in h.a banker's hands, to
remain there until it could be appropriated towards his defalcation.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE addressed the jury for the detendant,
and made some stringent observations upon the culpable neg-
ligence of the Bankruptcy Commissioners in suffering the
deficiency in Mr. Clark's accouias to remain so lung undis-
covered.
The Learned SECONDARY having summed up. the Jury
retired to consider their verdict at a fee minutes before five
o'clock, and after an hour's absence they returned into Court
with the following special verdict :—" We assess the damages
at 600/., and tt is the opinion of this sped:it jury, from the
evidence brought before them upon this inquiry, that great
negligence has been proved in the management of the Court
of Bankruptcy with regard to the security of the property
arising from the estates under their control."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Leonard Nichards, a man who stated that he was 52
years of age, was brought bef ire the Lord Mayor charged
with having presented a forged cheque, purporting to be
the cheque of Capel, Cuerton, and Co., of Pope's Head-
alley, Cornhill, for the .sum of 1,7911 Mi. 2d., ut the
banking-house of Messrs. Curries and Co., 29, Cornhill.
Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for
Protection against Forgeries and Fraud, appeared fill- the
prost • >.cution, and .Mr. \Vontner attended upon the part of
the prisoner.
Mr. John Robinson, cashier in the banking house,
stated that the prisoner presented the cheque in the usual
way at the counter. It was dated 25th May, 18427 and
was as follows :—`• Messrs. Curries and Co. -Pay Mr.
L. Richards, or }fearer, 1,7911. 16s. 2cl. Capel, Cuerton,

Mr. John Welford stated that upon receiving the
cheque, he went to the partners, and immed;utely after.
tads ran to Mr. Cum Il Cumin in Pope's ea&-alley, and on

Mr. Bush said he had not had Sufficient time to make
the necessary inquiries, and requested vt.hat the Lord
Mayor would remand the prisoner for a few days, while
John Forrt stet' was engaged in the investigAion.
Mr. Wontner said his client had not the slightest ob-
jection to the most scrupulous investigation into the
circumstances.

The LORD MAYOR said that there were some matters
connected with the case which induced him to look upon
the prisoner with a great deal of suspicion. The prisoner
was then remanded.
