COURT OF COMMO_V PLEAS, NOT% 15.

D. CLOVES, JUN. V. BIGDEN.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated that this was an
action to recover the sum of thirty pounds, for the
use and occupation of certain lands at Kirton, in
Lincolnshire. The plaintiff's case was, that the Rev.
Charles Wildbore had transferred •kto him (plaintiff*,
acting as a trustee for his father, who was the holder
of an annuity due from Wildbore) certain lands in
the occupation of the defendant as security for the
payment of that annuity—that the defendant had
notice of the transfer, and had acquiesced in the
change of landlords, and was therefore now bound
to pay to the The deeds of conveyance of
Mr. Wildbore's interest were regularly proved.
Mr. Serjeant PELL, for the defendant, submitted
first to the Court, that in point of law there was no
evidence of an implied contract.
Mr. Justice PARK held th ' there was evidence to
go to the Jury.
Mr. i;erjeant PELL then addressed the Jury on the
merits of the case. The Rev. Charles Wildbore was
the holder of those lands, which were charity lands,
in trust for the support of a school, of which he was
the principal, and assigned his interest as security for
the payment of an annuity, instead of applying them
to their original purpose. He would only say upon
the subject of such an application of charity lands,
that he hoped it would soon become matter of im-
portant consideration in another place ; but leaving
that, he ctuitended that there was no evidence to chew
that the titlencla it had ever consented to the transfer,
or to payment of rent to the plaintiff.
Mr. Justice I'ARK summed up, and the Jury found
for. the plaintiff—Damages £3O, for two years' rent.

Thursday evening, about dusk, as a young man,
named Thomas Bickerstaff, was coming along the
Vauxhall•rnad, towards the bridge, he saw a gigantic
fellow dressed in the garb of a beggar,"with a wallet
before and another behind him, going in the same
direction. They walked on to the end of the new street,
where Mr. B. had octasion to call at a friend's house;
but, on returning again, he saw the same fellow
sitting upon a stone. He bade him good night, and
was proceeding on, when the fellow begged a few
halfpence to enable him to get lodgings for the night,
saying be came that day from Birmingham, in hopes
of procuring work in London. Mr. B. observed, he
.could more readily get work in the country, and
offered him 4d. The beggar looked at him full in
the face, and, in a menacing tone, said he must have
more money. This demand he uttered with an oath ;
but Mr. B. said he had no more, and was proceeding
on, when the fellow in an instant felled him to the
ground with a bludgeon which Mr. B. had not pre-
yios.dy observcl, and declared he would instantly
cleave his head in two if he made the least noise. The
robber took from him four half;crowns, three single
shillings, a knife, a silver watch, his handkerchief,
and hat, with which he ran off. •

A long investigation took place on Thursday at Bow-steeet,re-
respecilng a robbery committed on Wednesday evening, at the
house of Mr. Manic, a Gentleman residing in Dover-street, Plc-
cadilly.—Mr. Maule's butler laid the cloth for dinner in the
dining-room adjoining the hall, a little before six o'clock on Wed-
nesday evening, and in a short time afttr The table was found to
have been completely stripped of the plate; and a clock which
stood on a bracket in the hall was also gone. Information was
dispatched to this Office, and Bishop and Herring, two officers,
were sent to the house. They questioned the servants separately,
and the story related by the butler was this :—Be laid the cloth
at the usiral time, and went down to the kitchen, where he sat
reading until his mistress's bell rang, and going up to answer it,
be saw the ball door standing ajar. He immediately thought of
his plate, and hastening to the dining-roomjound the salt turned
out upon the cloth; and the stands and every other bit of the
plater gone. He instantly told his mistress of the robbery. While
he was reading in the kitchen, he said the footman let in an ac-
quaintance of his, who remained for some time below. The foot-
man, when questioned, declared he did not leave the ball doer
open ; and' when asked if the butler had any visitors, he said
there were two men with him in his pantry for a considerable
time, two or three days before. They professed to come after
the place which the butler was about to leave. The officers
found a chair underneath the bracket where the clock had stood,
and aid& could net be reached without something to mount
upon, and on the chair was one foot-mark of white saud, of the
smile kind as the kitchen floor was strewed with, without any
mixture of dirt. The streets were very dirty that evening: Bi-
shop searched the' boxes Of the servants, and in one belonging to
the butler hi fantod ties snicks of piste, the property of h4r.
Maule. Both Oben were decidedly of oribion that smut per-,
