who, it happened amountednearly

property was then disposed of. The suspicion with which
Clementson was charged bring at length removed from
the mind of the deceased, and lie being again restored in
his full favour, the dereased,by a new will, made in 1821,
pat him in the same state he was in by the will of 1816.
1 his was the history of the will previous to the codicil,
which it was alleged the deceased made in March
18. d. and which was the question is the pre-
sent cans., in which the deceased revoked the will of
1821, and left all his property to Hodson alone. The
Learned Judge after going through the evidence at great length,
observed that it was against legal testimony or rational proha•
bility, that this codicil was made oa the date which was afllatid
to it. It was against the evidence adduced in this case, that
the deceased could have subscribed his name to this codicil
without the assistance of some person, for it was proved he
Was nearly blind, being then 87 years of age; and yet that per-
son was not brought forward. However, that the codicil was
in the baud writing of the deceased seemed to be admitted, and
this rendered it probable that the codicil was made subs'•
qoent to the will of 1816, when he was displeased with Cle-
mentson, end lay from that time till his death among his papers;
besides, it was remarkable that the paper upon which the co-
dicil was written, and that upon which the will of 1616 was
written, both bore the water mark of 1813. Further, it was
not proved that any dispute or other circumstance occurred
subsequent to the will of 1621, which would induce the de-
ceased to change his mind. and shut out Clementson from a
shore in his property.--Under alt these circumstances, the
moral conviction of Ids mind was, that he would not be doing
justice, if he did ant declare the will of 1821 to be good and
valid, and the codicil of 18.211 utterly void.
TOonnion C. wee WIRCUTORS Or TUORITON.
This very singular case arose out of the will of the late
Colonel Thornton, of sporting celebrity, who died in
FUSCO in March last.
The circtoratasees of the Cave were as follow:—Colonel
Thornton, of Falkner Hall, in the East Riding of York-
shire, possessing considerable property in England, went
to reside in Paris in 1815, and having.purchased some pro-
perty about sixty miles from that capital, wished to ni..lre
France his permanent residence. and obtained from the
King of grange a Royal Ordoonanee, bestowing upon him
the title of the Marquess of Pond, and granting him a
domicile in that country, thus allowing him all the right.;
political and civil of a h rench citizen, so long as he resided
in it. After some time be cornea back to England where
be makes a will in due form and manner, bequeatl.ing
almost all his English propetty to a mistress with whom
be had lived, sod her issue, to the exclusion of his wife
and son. After a short residence here, he returned to
France, where he died. The will was made, regi,tereil,
and found in England, but the executors, on applying for
the probate of the will, are opposed by the widow of the
deceased, on the ground that Colonel Thornton, having
been domiciled in France, and died in that
duniCile, his will. and the distribution of his property
is fised. The reason of wishing to subject the rill to the
licnts of France in the present case is this, that they pre-
vent any person from disposing of all his property to his
adulterous issue, to the exclusion of his legitimate chil-
i dren.
Dr. BARNAIIII and Dr. PIRILLIMORS, for the executors,
contended that, conformable to the principle laid down in
Orotius ;nd Valtel, the distribution of property should be
lade according to the laws of the country where the will
made and ft ' except where the deceased died in-
*.e, and then be made conformable to the laws

.only when the testator entirely passed over his legitimate
offspring, and seemed not to have them in memory, but in
the present cue Colonel Tborntois bequeathed to his son
1001.
Dr. q.blontwirrow argued at length on the other side,
that the distribution of property sboold be conformable to
the lowed the country where the testator was domicilicll
at the time of his death, and relied mainly upon the opi-1
pions of lairds Mansfield, Hardwicke, and Thurlow, as
cittd in similar cases. The Learned Doctor further main-
tailed, that the very admission that the distribution of
property should follow the les loci donsicilii, in case of the
party dying intestate, Inferred that it should follow the
same rule also, in case of a will, for where could the fact of
intestacy be triad, but in and according to the laws of the
domicile ?
Farther argument was postponed till the next Court day.
POLICE.

Mauston Houss.—About three years and a half ago
the house of the Rev:-- Fitxthomas, of Sudbury, was
broken open in the night by robbers, who entered by
the Means of a centre-bit. with which they bored the
window shutter. A great quantity of plate and other
Tadash. property was taken off, amongst which were
some silver candlesticks, which bad been nearly a century
in the family.—Soon afterwards three men were appre- '
betide() on suspicion of being concerned in the burglary,
and tried at the Assizes, where two of theca were convicted
and executed. It was generally believed that there
were other'persoas connected with those who had suffered
and a reward wits offered for the apprehension and
conviction of any who might have been so engaged.
Until a few days. ago, however, no tidings wets
receieyd either of thieves or property, although
regular advertisements bait Wen made of the robbery. Me.
Fitsthernu was in the habit as he walked aleng.tbe simile
of lookinginto the silversmiths' and pawnbebkers' .01
but bad long since given op all idea of finding any of Is
lost pfoiwrry, sone of which be had ever recovered with
the exception of an 'old umbrella, a pate of his wife's shoes,
and a few other trifles, which were produced upon the i
trial, and led to the conviction of the two housebreakers.,
He accidently looked in at the window of the shop of Mr.
Simmons, a jeweller in Holborn, and there be saw, to his
astonishment, a pair of the old candlesticks of which his
house had been robbed. He forthwith procured a search
warrant at the Justice-room (certainly An unnecessary
precaution), and proceeded to search Mr. Simmons' pre.
inises. He however found nothing mere of his property

Mr. Fitzthoosss stated the circumstances of the burglary.
and roabery, and identified the two candlesticks, which
were also identified by his wife, who had a more accurate
ricellection of the sulkies which had been stolen. Mr.
Pitathomas observed in the coarse of his statement, that
the silent manner in which this extensive robbery had been
committed, was probably most favourable to twin in one
t, for he had left a loaded fowling•piere in his stilly,
strtrisgt the robbers-visited, and would doubtless have been
favoured with its contents hid he heard any noise, for I,is

pistols. VIM was, be said, no other property of hi,

Mr. Siininims said, he believed he was legally entitled to

The LORD MAYOR was convinced that he should act
legally in ordering the property to be given up to Mr.
Pitztlionias. If shopkeepers chose to run the risk of •but-
ing goods of people whom they know nothirig about, •they
must take the couseqeences. Had proper prevention been
used, perhaps more of the stolen properly would have beeo
recavered, and more of the persons concerned been brought
to justice.
