LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Juwi 49.

PENNINGTON V. WALLACE.
In this case the Plaintiff, a Lady, had lived a con-
siderable time with the Defendant, who made her a
grant of an annuity of 501. In consequence of non-
payment of arrears she commenced an action, to which
there was a demurrer, and the Court was called upon
•in this instance to say whether there was any legal
bar to her claim. It was contended in support of the
objection to the suit that no consideration valid in law
had been given for the tumults-. It was true there
bad been cohabitation, but that was not a legal con-
.
sideration.
On behalf of the Plaintiff, it was ably argued that
the Defendant was bound by a moral, as well as legal
obligation, to abide by his own act, but the Court,
under all the circumstances, held there was no consi-
deration for the annuity, and the Plaintiff consequently
could not recover in a Court of Law.

LIBELS.
THE RIND C. EDWARD KING.
Mr. WA/SuRD, on behalf of the " Constitutional
Association," moved that the defendant might be
brought up to plead to an indictment, charging hin►
with the publication of a seditious a work
called l'he Posy:fin, or Gene►al Satirixl. The
defendant appeared, and having pleaded Not Guilty,
Mr. BI.AcKlit',:NE said, be was instructed on behalf t
of the defendant to tender bail in the ordinary manner I
to appear to the indictment, tint not to give bail ac-
cording to the Statute, 60 Geo. 111. c. 9,5. 16, to be of
good behaviour in the mean time.
The CntEF JUSTICE—The Court are of opinion that
the defendant should give bail according to the terms
of that Statute.
Mr. 11L.tektrunxte—Tbe defendant ►sill give bail for
his appearance.
The CHIEF drams—The Court are of olierion that
more oight to be done in this ease.
The defendant was acconling►ly admitted to bail to
appear at the Adjourned Sittings after this Term, and
in the wean time to be of goud behaviour.

TUE KING r. W. CLARK.
The defendant (also, ire believe, at the suit of the
above Association) came up to plead to an indictment
for blasphe►nous libel. The defendant pleaded Not
: and requested to be excused from giving bail,
upon the ground that, being held to good behavi.►nr
upon a former prosecution, he had not suttee that
time, sold, or authorised the sale of, any libelous
• publication.
The Corny said that the fact alleged must be stated
upon affidavit : the defendant might go for that pm.-
pou before a Ju•lge at I►is chambers in the eveninz.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ST.ITES.II.I.I.
--asp.—
SlR—Permit me to offer a fro• remarks in your co-
lumns npon an animal, called the Ronassits,• exhibited
in the Strand. lie is well worthy the attention of the
lovers of natural history, and is probably the most asto-
nishing quadruped that has ever appeared! in Europe.
Rot why he is entitled to the name of liona.s.is I am at
a loss to know ? he might as well he called the 3lam-
moth, or the Beheiudith. The Bonassus. although men-
tioned by liieciau and Roman writers, ,s not kiii.utely
dleserilicil ; and this American prodigy is possibly no
Wore like the extinct Itonassiis of Africa than I ato"like
Ilerenles. Some of your readers may, I hope, oblige as
with their opinion of this extraordinary brute—ill no-
thin.; more extraordinary than that out of the tliotisimis
who have seen Ilion, none call forma decided ry,:inion as
to his breed anal generation. I am, Slr,
Your obedient servant.

F.ximm, Julys 26.—Plie late Abel Worth, Esq.
(whose death we announced in our paper of last week,
at the advanced age of 53,) has, wears happy to hear,
bequeathed the following sums to Charity Schools
in this city :—To the Episcopal School, for Boys,
three thousand pounds ; to the same Establishment, for
, three thousand pounds; and to the 5e1..301 at St.
Julius llospital, 3,0011/. We understand he has also
left a handsome legacy to the Devon and Exeter
Hospital. Mr. W—, who was a native of Exeter,
was educated in the Episcopal School, which he
ever held in grateful remembrance, and early in
life went to Lisbon, where, by successful in-
dustry, lie acquired a large fortune. He has left
liberal donations to several charitable institutions
in Lisbon. Ile died a bachelor, and the residue
of his property, which is very considerable, is given
to distant relatives.—(Alfi ed.)
FlRE.—Weduesday afternoon, a fire brolceont in Heale
paper-mill, in the parish of Hradninch, Devon, the pro-
petty of Mr. John Dewdney. The flames raged with
great fury, and were not got under until the whole of the
extensive manufactory, together with a large stock of
paper, Sm. several out-buildings, and upwards of 200
bushels of wheat were consumed; the dwelling-house is
also nearly destroyed. The property is insured, but in
a sum far short of the loss sustained. Itr this accident
sixty persons are thrown out of employment. We have
of *heard by what cause the fire originated:: -

'rut STATE.KMAN;

POLICB.

finnan A LL.--FORGID Fiva POMO) NOTtte—Tester-
day a young man, of very respectable appearance, and
fashionably dressed, who gave his name George Lee, to-
gether with a young female of genteel appearance, and
passed for his wife, but whose real name was Elisabeth
Brown, were brought op before Sir J. Perring, charged
with uttering two forged five pound notes.—From the
evidence adduced, it appeared, that the prisoners bad
taken an apartment as married people. which the preg-
nant state of the female seemed to confirm, at 16, Fre-
derick's-place, tioswell-street-road.
In the course of Thursday last, they, in company to-
gether, had obtained from Mr. Dowdney, of Alderagate-
street, a suit of clothes for the male prisoner to the value
of V. 10s., and at the shop of Mrs. Macfarlane, of St.
.john's-street-roail, sundry articles of kitchen furnituie,
Value 11.113. In both instances they bad directed the goods
to be sent to the above address, with change for a 5/. note.
When Mr. Dowdney's servant took the clothes, he was
shewn up into a room, where he saw both of the prison-
ers; delivered his goods, and received a 5/. note in pay-
ment, which, on his return, was discovered to be a
forgery. Some time was lost in looking for an officer ;
ant upon application at the house in Frederick's-place,
they subsequently learnt that the place had only been
taken that morning, and that the parties had gone away.
Lest this trick might not answer twice at the same place,
means were taken to countermand the delivery of the
goods ordered at Mrs. Macfarelane's, The male prisoner
called there again in about a couple of hours, to desire
they might not he srnt, as they should be from Lome,
anti that he would call again. In this interval a fresh
lodging hail been procured, at N 0.6, Lower Smith-street,
Northampton-square; and between eight anti nine
o'clock he again called at Mr. Macfarlane's, and or-
dered the goods to be sent to that direction, statinl,C as
an excuse that they were intended as a present. The
goods were sent accordingly, but the servant who took
them was stopped in the street by the pri;ouer, who re-
ceived them and the change, giving a W. note in pay-
ment. In both instances the prisoner had endorsed
the notes with the name, Mr. Thompson.—On
this evidence, and that of Mr. (lover, the Inspector,
who deelareil both notes to be forgeries in all respects,
Mr. Maynard, the Bank Solicitor, requested that both
the prisoners eni,glet be remanded, as he had other charges
to prefer against them.
Sir John Perring hesitated with regard to the fi..m ile
prisoner, there heing no evidence to implicate her be-
sides the bare fart of her having been preset., at the pur-
chase of the goods, anil the uttering of the Ito!c4 in both
instance's.
Mr. MAYNARD allnwet! that he could nnt call for a
final columitment upon that evid:ncr alone, hitt as he
had no doubt of beitig ahle to add other and stronger
e% idence of her guilty knowledge, lie trusted there were
sufficient oroun ;s to warrant the Jlagistrate in remand-
ing her tor another examination.
The prisoners declined saying any thing in their de-
fence at present, and were accordingly remanded for a
week.

Ilona:It WILDER. AT STEP:CI:V.—It will be recollected
by our readers, that some days back a gentleman, then
unknown, was found in the Regent's Canal, near Step-
low, where he was supposed to have been thrown after
being murdered. An inquest was held on the body, and
a verdict of " Wilful ,Murder recorded against some
person or persons unknown." The unfortunate gentle-
man has since been owned; his name appears to he John
Canolall ; his brother resides in flall-street, Poplar. He
was an officer in the Navy in 1t412. He resided with
his brother at the aforesaid place, and left hint on
Monday, about eleven o'clock In the forenoon, since
which no account was heard of him until the slay pre-
vious to his burial, when his body and apparel were
identified by his brother. The utmost ex.wtions have
been since used by the police of the district where this
horrid deed was committed, and at lenh, through the
sigilance of Mr. T. T. Downes, High Constable of the
Tower Division, three men were apprehended by hint,'
and taken to Shadwell Police Office, against whom very
strong suspicion% are tntertained of their being the mur-
derers of the deceased. Their names are John English,
a rope-maker ; John Warren, and George Harding,
both well known characters to the police. They under-
went an examination yesterday before T. Hardwick and
T. Hoskins, Esqrs., and were remanded fur examination
on a future slay.
Dvaixt; Rounenv.—One of the most daring and ma-
licious robberies recorded for years past, was committed
on the premises of 3lr. Smith, fruiterer and confectioner,
146, Piccadilly, opposite liond-street,on Thursday night.
The villains entered the house by forcing the lock of an
area gate, cutting a large square of glass out of the area
door window, by which means they got into the kitchen,
struck a light, broke open the cupboard, and took away
souse sugar I then took a pair of steps and forced a trap-
door communicating to the shop, and took from thence
ten silver tea-spoons, four large table ditto, a pair of
large tea tongs, one metal tea-pot, some ivory handled
knives and forks, several pots of jams, and opened every
drawer in the shop ; took eight cloths, and various ar-
ticles of sweetmeats ; opened two desks and iron closets,
took out all the books, deranged Mr. S.'s papers, took
from the shop a large dial, which they left at the door,
in consequence of the alarm which had taken place.—
Resides this, the horrid villains set Are to the shop,
which might have consumed the whole house, had not
Mrs. S. meet fortunately discovered it by the smoke,
which issued out in an immense volume. Two men were
yesterday charged at Marlborough-street Office with
these atrocious offences, and were remanded.
