The arguments in the great cause of Goodlake, Helps, and others, versus Wood and others—which relates to the validity of the Mill and codicil of the late James Wood, the immensely rich banker of Glou- eester—were brought to a close on Saturday. Sir Herbert Jenner said, he mast take time to consider his judgment, and would give notice of the day when he should pronounce it. We have been told that the

general opinion is that the will cannot be maintained ; in which case, Mrs. Goodlake, the plaintiff, will be heiress to the entire personalty, and the famous codicil, scribbled in pencil, and which was sent to one of the plaintiffs by the twopenny post, will also be set aside, wad the real estate descend to the heir-at-law.

The evidence proved that no such act of bribery had been committed. Mr. Thesiger, tbr the defendant, cross-examined Mr. Berkley, the prosecu-

tor, touching his connexion with a married woman ; and the particulars

• lieited weee nut at all to that gentle.nan's credit, but did not go to throw dot:];, on his veracity. The prisoner was foundctil.ty.
