LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.

The Loin CHANCELLOR took his seat at half-past ten
o'clock, and heard old motions according to their dates,
but nothing whatever of the slightest importance transpired
in the course of the morning.
A notice was posted in Court that his Lordship will take,
agreeably to his intimation yesterday, motions on Wednes-
days and Saturdays during the term.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
EMANUEL V. LAZARUS.
The Court was occupied the whole morning with argu-
ments in this case, involving questions of account between
two persons of the Jewish persuasion, residing at Bath.
The case possessed no public interest, and was not con-
cluded when we left.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
ROBINSON V. WATERHOUSE.

In this case Mr. ArrORNEY-GEDIEMAL moved, on leave,
for a rule to show cause to enter a verdict for the plain-
tiff. The case was tried a few days ago before Lord Ten-
terden and a Special Jury. The action was on a bill of
exchange given by the defendant to the plaintiff, a dealer
in horses. The defence was, that when Messrs. Water-
house stopped payment, the plaintiff agreed to accept a
composition of 10s. in the pound " within a month of "
the meeting of creditors. The latter took place on the
14th of March—in answer to which the plaintiff con-
tended that the tender of the composition money was not
in time, as it was made on the evening of the 14th of
April. The question then arose on the meaning of the
terms of the composition deed. The plaintiff contended
that within a month of the date, meant within a lunar
month, and in that meaning the 14th of April was cer-
tainly too late; but supposing that it meant a lunar
month, then the day of the meeting must be included.
Lord Tenterden directed a nonsnit to be entered, with
leave to move to enter a verdict for the plaintiff.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now urged the points he
bad raised, and the Court granted a rule nisi.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.--DAVIS V. CAPPER.
Mr. TAUNTON stated to the Court that this was an ac-
tion for false imprisonment against a Magistrate of the
county of Gloucester. The case had been frequently be-
fore the Court, and had been once before tried in the coun-
try, but on an application for a new trial the Court ordered
it to be tried again. It was tried at the last Assizes, and
a verdict entered for the plaintiff, with 101. damages ; but
by the direction of the Learned Judge, it was given
specially " that the length of time for which the plaintiff
was recommitted, was unreasonable, but that the Magis-
trate was not influenced, as alleged, by the improper motive
of obtaining, by the length of imprisonment, a confession of
the felony with which the plaintiff was charged." The
Learned Counsel now moved to enter a nensuit, on the
ground that the form ofaction was improper, inasmuch as the
plaintiff could not bring an action for false imprisonment
against the Magistrate, unless he had no jurisdiction to
commit to prison, or unless the warrant of commitment
was imperfect. The plaintiff might have her remedy in a
special case, but could not sustain an action. The Magis-
trate had clearly a jurisdiction in this case on the subject
matter, and that even if he had committed her for an un-
seasonable length of time, yet, as he had jurisdiction, it
was only an action of irregularity.—Thc Court took time
to consider.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
GREY V. ATEIN.

Mr. Serjennt WILDE applied for a rule to show cause
why the verdict in this case should not be set aside and
a new trial granted. It was an action tried at the last
Assizes for Nottingham, before the Lord Chief Baron, and
was brought to recover deficiencies, amounting to a large
sum, of an agent of the plaintiff, the defendant having be-
come security for that agent. It was clearly proved in evi-
dence that more than 1,0001. was due to the plaintiff from
his agent, and the Lord Chief Baron charged the Jury,
telling them they could entertain no doubt but that the
plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. The Jury, however,
laid their heads together for a short time, and then, to the
surprise of every one, said " We find for the defendant."
Mr. Justice PART-It is a pity the Lord Chief Baron
did not tell them to lay their heads together again, and re-
consider their verdict.—Rule granted.

DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF LADY BEAUMONT, V. SHARP.
This was an action of ejectment, tried before the Lord
Chief Baron at Leicester, and a verdict found for the
defendant.
Mr. Serjeant ADAMS now moved to set that verdict
aside. It was an action brought to eject a tenant of Lady
Beaumont, from the farm he then occupied, and the plain-
tiff's case was so clearly established, that the Learned
Judge told the Jury that he did not think it necessary to
tronhle them with summing up, as they could not enter-
tain a doubt in finding a verdict for the plaintiff. The
Jury, however, who were composed entirely of farmers,
almost immediately said, " We find a verdict for the te-
nant."—(A laugh.)
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Did not his Lordship say any
thing to the Jury on their returning so extraordinary a
verdict ?
Mr. Serjeant A Dill s—H is Lordship appeared astonished,
and merely observed that he regretted he had not summed
up the evidence.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Take a rule to chew cause.
Several other motions for new trials were disposed of
during the morning, none of which, however, possessed
any feature of public interest.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
The Court were occupied hearing motions of no general
interest until half•past twelve o'clock, at which time their
Lordships adjourned.

The man who was apprehended on suspicion
and who is brother-in-law of the unfortunate Mrs.
FRANKS, has been found, by the result of the Sheriff's in-
vestigation, to have such strong circumstances of guilt at-
tached to him, as to leave little doubt but that he was the
perpetrator of this dreadful crime. On the night on which
the murder is supposed to have been committed, he ac-
counts for his absence from home, by saying that he was
wandering all night. This, coupled with the fact of a
peasant having observed him on the following morning,
covered with mud, and washing his clothes at a ditch side,
and the farther circumstance of the heel of his shoe cor-
responding exactly to the mark that is deeply indented in
the floor of the room where the girl was murdered, (the
same mark is also observable on one of the pillow slips,
and is evidently the impression of his foot,) are
fearful witnesses against him. There are nume-
rous other circumstances too minute to be detailed here,
but combining altogether such an array of proof as would
appear sufficient to commit any man. Indeed, so convinced
are the natives here of his identity, that the women have
little hesitation in recommending " Jeddart justice." It
may surprise you to learn, that the man who is supposed
to have committed this crime has none of that ferocity of
aspect, and fiendish-like affinity to ruffianism that one
would naturally suppose to be depicted in the countenance
of such a monster. He is, moreover, very diminutive in
stature, and appears to have been cast in one of nature's
smallest moulds,--Adinbury/4 fenTity Courant,
