STEEPLE CH A CR.

Thursday selusight,astesPlechaWtOokplace near Kilmeaden,
within a few miles of Waterford, for .150, between Henry Snow and
James Carew, Esqrs. which excited a considerable degree of interest.
The ground was very judiciously marked out by the Stewards,across
a fine sporting country. The preliminaries having been arranged,
the horses (Lady Clare, rode by the owner, Mr. Snow, and the
other rode by Mr. Carew) started about two o'clock, going off in
fine style. The course was from the hill of Dargie across Thirow,on
to Laubardawn, and back again to the place of starting, making a
run of four miles, two miles out and the same in. The betting, we
understand, was considerable, Lady Clare the favourite at starting.
Both riders bad some falls, which left the toe of the match for
some time doubtful ; but, towards the close, Lady Clare took the
lead, and ultimately won with ease. The Stewards were—Capt.
Doyle, Morris Wall, Congreve Rogers, and Stephen Gamble,
Eaqrs. Judges—Maurice Ronayns and Thomas Shepherd, &qrs.
After the race, the Stewards, together with many of the Gentle.
men who attended, assembled, by invitation, at the residence of
Thomas Gamble, Esq. where they were received in the true style
of Irish hospitality.—War Clitoral&
A BUCK HUNT EXTRAORDINARY. .
There was a sporting hunt at Etna's, County Owe, last Tues-
day ; but the most extraordinary feature in the day'. amusement
was towards the wind up, when the beck, hard pressed by the
hounds and bones, made tight for Magellan' House, the residence
of the late Bishop O'Shaughnessy, where a sumptuous repast was
laid out for the members of the Hunt by the present hospitable
occupier, Mr. Francis Healy. The noble animal dashed bead-
foremost into the very room, carrying on his wide-spreading ant-
lers the double window-frame' all the panes being shivered to
atoms in the leap. Tables, dishes, glasses, and decanters, were
upset in glorious disorder, and in an instant all became s total
wreck. The, author of this unexpected calamity was taken in a
corner of the parlour crouching before his enemies, and looking

LAW IN7'ALIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dan. lit.

aonosusx—nscnoun v. XIIIONT•
The Vica-Csunceu.oa gave judgment in this case. It was
a question respecting the proper construction of a chose in the
marriage settlement of Mrs. Nicholls. In that settlement the
power was reserved by the Lady to devise by will or other deed,
under her hand and seal. all the real and personal property she
then possessed. Some time previous to her decease she executed
a will, In which she devised all her " real and personal estate, and
all property whatsoever of which she died possessed, to her hus-
band, for his life, and subsequently to be divided among the call•
dren." • It so happened that a considerable portion of this pro•
perty was leasehold, and It was objected that such property could
not pass under the terms of the will. The case was argued at con-
siderable length at the Bar, and his Honour said that the words "all
property; whatever of which Idle possessed" clearly showed that
the testatrix wished to convey all she had. Upon reference to the
numerous cases that had been quoted, and to the invariable rule
followed by this Court, His Honour was, however, bound to de-
clare that leasehold property could not pus under the terms of the
will. The Court must, therefore, declare the heir at law to be en-
titled to the leasehold estates ; but all the costs to be paid out of
the general estate.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. IS.
Sittings at Westminster. before Lord TRW/San= and a Spatial Jury.
CAMBIUMS TOLF.A.MILIST V. !BALMS
This cause, so highly important to the inhabitants of the borough
of Cambridge, again cheupied the Court.
Mr. TAUNTON having been heard in reply,
Lord Tzersanan commenced summing up at one o'clock.—
His Lordship enumerated all the leading points of evidence with
his usual clearness and precision, and left the Jury to decide
whether the Corporation of Cambridge had proved a ekes and
consistent right from time immemorial to demand the sped&
tolls, which were the subject of this action. The grants to the
Mayor and Burgesses of Cambridge in the reign of Edward I. and
Edward 111. by which they had power to collect tolls for the pur-
pose of paving the streets. together with the subsequent re-
cords. were described in the true spirit and meaning of those
instruments; and it was remarked that all thine grants to the
Corporation were silent upon the tolls in question. One re-
markable document, a petition from the Corporation in the
reign of Henry VIII. for aid in providing for the necessary
repairs of the town, stated that they bad .f 62 to pay annually,
with no other means of defraying the same than small tolls
taken in the market. The Attorney-General had contended
that this petition was a clear admission that the toll of 2d. upon
goods coming into, and leaving the town in a cart, did not exist.
It was certainly an important document for the defendants, and
the Jury would have to consider whether the Corporation of Cam-
bridge in the act of begging for assistance, had or had not con-
sidered it expedient, with a view to-their own interest, to sup-
press the existence of the tolls? His Lordship, in short, repeated
most of the observations which he expressed at the fowler trials,
and concluded his charge about three o'clock.
The Jury then retired, and soon after brought in a verdict for
the defendant.
The result was received with great joy by the toll opposing party,
who have subscribed a fund for the purpose of assisting Mr. Beaks
in his efforts against the Corporation.
The costs at present incurred are said to amount to 1,1001,
