tico inquirendo was opened before Mr. Barlow, and a specia 
Jury, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. David Ochterlony 
Dyce Sombre, pope aniad of Sirhind, in we , Upper Provinces of 
Bengal, and now of Hanover Lodge, Regent’s-park, The alleged 
lunatic was formerly elected member Ui the iierouek of Sudbury, 
but was unseated by petition. Mr. t, of the oe ioe bar, 
appeared in support ot of the issi which was 
The learned Counsel stated to the Jury that the wicrante 
gentleman was a native of Hindostan, and the son of Gencral 
Sombre and the Begum or Princess Sirhind. At an early age he 
» England, where he remained until the course of 
editeation ‘ait down for him was finished, when, at the age of 19, 
he returned to India, and remained at the residence of the Pr 
cess, his mother, until her death, which took place in 1836. Some 
time before her death she made a will, bequeathing to Mr. Dyce 
Sombre the whole of her landed and personal property, and this 
will she soon after confirmed other document. Upon the 
will of the Princess becoming yhawas the East India Company 
claimed the lands left to Mr. Dyce Sombre, but allowed him to

INTELLIGENCE. — MIDLAND Circuit, Lerce: 
Francis Bailey was charged with having, on the 3d ‘April i 
feloniously stolen in the house of the Earl of Wilton, at Melton 
‘ay, a gold watch and ank n value of 
Thomas 
Smith was charged with being av accessory after the fact. It 
appeared, from the evidence, that about four o’clock on the 
morning of the 3d April, the gardener at Egerton House (Lord 
Wilton’s seat at Melton Mowbray) found the back-gate open, 
when an alarm was given, and shortly after it was discovered 
that his Lordship’s dressing-room had been robbed of the articles 
above described, and that the thief ihe have been secreted in 
the house, and had let himself out. Information was immediately 
was § 
offender, together with a 
description of such portions of the property as could be identified. 
On the 10th of April the prisoner Bailey was taken into custody 
at Kegworth, a little town near Loughborough, at which latter 
place the other prisoner was arrested. Several of the notes were 
of the Bank of uve soe, and the remainder of some bank in 
Grantham ; person had been seen a few days before, both 
at Loughborough and in Leicester, ee a ae amount of 
money in notes of the latter Welt ue ngold. Bailey ae eke 
time Leal been in the employ of Lord Wilton as cook, e 
certai the robbery nay been committe iy aes one 
well ousted with the premises, together with certain sus- 
picious cond all the articles 
which co! cS be identified woe found upon his person, together 
with 1802, notes. Lord Wilton stated that he had left the 
whole eethes missing property in au dressing-room, which was 
partially detached from the house, when he retired to rest about 
twelve o’clock on the night previous to the robbery. atte Lord- 
ship ey identified the articles which were found upon the 
prison Several witnesses were examined to prove Atte facts

NEKOGEE oreuries CAmBRIDGE.—Considerable sensation was 
created in Cambridge on Friday by a rumour, which turned out 
to be see that Henry Burnham, a farmer of Whittlesey, in the 
isle of E! 10 was convicted on the preceding day of an assault 
upon peck Ate; with intent to marder her, and sentenced to trans- 
portation for fifteen years, had put an end to his existence, The 
prisoner, it appears, was locked ve ue cell a little eres seven 
o’clock on ‘Thursday evening, the ey, as is usual under the 
circumstances, removing his zits OLOMAaE. 
opportunity of doing violence to himself, 
is said, by a lad oN was inan pees pat moving about so 
late as ‘two o’clock in ee morning. Aft r that] hour nothing was 
heard of bim, and when the turnkey Sent to his cell, at ‘eight 
o’clock, he found nti macaperdedl by the neck from a bar in a 
small veutilator, which we oe in the bar just above the door. 
Immediate recourse was had to medical aid, but without any 
effect, for, from the state of ‘the body, it was manifest that the 
fatal act had en consummated for some hours before the visit 
of the turnkey, while the means by which it was accomplished 
indicated tr he yo eet purpose. It would seem that hav- 
ing tied hi er, and made one end fast to the bar 
in the vi eeGIRIDE; he added t ta: the other his braces, which he placed 
round his neck. The length of these must have been such as to 
leave him litile or no room to effect his purpose aa the ordinary 
ay, when discovered, his legs were nearl. e poe and 
the lacerated condition of his feck and throat chowes that stran- 
sat upon the body, and al 
into the circumstances immediately attendant upon ites ‘death, 
and the whole history of the man’s life, a verdict of ‘ ‘Temporary 
insanity” has been returned, grounded, no doubt, upon the tes- 
timony of his relations and friends, who deposed to many acts 
of vitae atterapted both on himself and bt of a character 
closely ve of a mind disordered at intervals.

Fellows of New College, Oxford.—This was an issue arising under 
the Tithe Commutation Act, which te been already twice 
Ms heess of, Ae which was now bro! t forward for the third 
time. The plaintiff is the holder ofa tage quantity of land in the 
neighbourhood os Romford, known as Ha’ ig Park, and which 
was formerly a Royaldemesne; and i twas conterded thats in lieu 
of tithe in ieind, this land was only subject to the rendering ofa 
fat buck and doe, in the proper season, to the vicar of Horn- 
church, i ua whieh parish the park is situated. The property in 
question e hands of the Crown in the reign of Henry II., 
and that Monarch leased. or granted the ae of tithes to the 
monks of St, Bernard and Montjoie, in Savo

parliamentary survey, m: in the f th Soe hae 
and which, after TaRntely describing. all the land in uestion, 
expressly stated that it was entirely exempted core the payment 
of tithe in kind, and that the only rendering in the shape of 
tithe was a fat buck and doe, in the pr oper season, to the parson 
h st 
of Hornchurch, In the course o! the Jury, the 
Solicitor-General complained of aon that tad’ been 
Occasioned by the New ence e authori nd he said that, 
after the solemn decision of tw ning the right of the 
Plaintife iff to the exemption Bonn. payment of ‘tithe, they had, upon 
mere technicality, occasioned the necessity of a third trial, and 
he Added, that he was convinced he should be able to Satisfy the 
Jury that the College had no legal ground for claiming snes 
and he trusted the Jury would defeat their unjust attempt t 
increase their revenues at the expense of the plaintiff, who! ha ‘a 
purchased this land from the Crown as tithe free, and paid for it 
accordingly, and to who great injustice if he 
were compelled to pay an impost to which te had no idea that he 
was liable. The various deeds and documents that were pro- 
duced on the former trials were then again put in evidence, and 
witnesses were also examined, who proved that within the time 
of living eaten no tithe in kind had ever been paid for the 
park, and tl a modus of a buck and doe had always been 
given in lieu ye tithe. Sir T. Wilde made a very long address to 
the Jury on behalf of the SCORES of the college, who he 
denied to have been actuated by any desire for litigation, but who, 
he said, being placed in ie Biers of trustees for the benefit 
of others, were bow Le to ert those rights to which they con- 
sidered themselv es le} sally ‘entitled: He then procecded to com- 
ment upon Wee sridence A had been adduced on behalf of the 
plaintiff, and ci hat it was by no means conclusive of 
the ae of the ie se of the modus that was set up. Mr. 
Bar Parke having summed up, the Jury, iter a short 
deliberation, returned a verdict for the Ds thus establish- 
ing the night of the land to be held tithe free. The cause 
occupied ¢ e Court nearly eleven hours, andit is madeipured that 
this verdict will set the question for ever at rest.
