After that it is idle I' refer to the letters saying that Burns and 1111.1vor refused to pay more, because, in fact, they were payiag more, and the torus of the transaction must be iramiterial to thkui. So for I have relied entirely on Watson's own evidince ; but the evidence ut 11'lsor and of M'Aliater, c caries the case further, f MAIM*, says that when the Para ea* being drawn up, Watson said s. Everybody tied not know this." An attempt was. made to gist a d trerent colouring to Ibis; but tee imoression on mind, lodging by what afterwards takes place, cltariy must nave been that it referred to Wa•son's position with his ise• owners. s • matters stood up to Ilsy, 1352, at which time it is said that Brennan had notice of all the rats. This brings OS to the third ground of defence, aaraelr, that there was no eoneei.lment. The evidence as to Brennan% knowledge it not satisfactory. (His Hearer then stated the ' , Wanes on this point, Aid euntintied)-11 Watson did maker the MAW f to brei.uan, which he be did, it not each a fall and tree • ri writ ought to make to !is principal ; the newt that can he said is that it might hive nut ilrennsn ea hie guild. (His liesour then referred to other parts of the evidence, which he said only lett the ease in mist, haze, and uncertainty, sad conti nued.) Tian I come to the time of semen the notice to discontinue IVitson and Preston in their office. All that takes lace 'Per that puts the matter in the clearest pos. able light. WA,ister communicates that the charterers are paying sot 130.'. per week but 1341., upon which the notice is served, • twice of a most °Missive character, charging the defendants with fraud; whereupon Watson writes the letter which has been much commented on, end which was written after consulting his solicitors, and the eaplasation he gives for so doing is not a little eingul.r—he says he dwe not think they know more about :Le matter, but that in any dispute they would know much better hew to deed with it, bat that he has since found that Smniedal sense would have bees much better than a legal swim It is a pity he did not find that out two years ego, it would have saved him much trouble. (His Honour then read the lean.) That letter is • total abandonment of any claim ander the sgrestoset, and is iscoosistent with every sumer toe now mad,, by Ws taos, and with the view that I have felt bored to take of the case without that letter. Its. Honour thin commented in strung terms on the isa propriry of the letter written by the atteroey of the plaintiff in amerce to that letter, stating that it was so part of the duty ul any profees.onal man to heap insult on the adverse party, and to add fuel to the flame which was already horsing ; het at the same time he did not go to the heath of the L welt Justices with reference to that letter, when the case was before them in • previous stage; tor he could not cell the letter to which it wee an mower a letter of race. The only other question raised was one of a statistical natant P. anise epos the position of one of the go-owners and co plaintiff., Denny. This was put oa two grounds • first, that he abandons the whole ease, and says be 'onside,. there was no fraud, sad if he had knows all the (sets at first, he would set have signed the notice ; and, secondly, that the sigsatare of the notice by him was in valid, as hie shuts were partnership property, and that he signed not in the name of the firm, but simply with his own name. With respect to the latter point, he thought the sigasture sufficient : it was a matter within the part nership business, and it was admitted that he was the partner who had acted throughout. With respect to the first point, he said he was not satisfied with the confect et pertees on either side, and commented in strong terms on the wry its which Watson had deslt with the evi. deuce, hat he doubted whether Denny, after having signed the aohe which pledged the parties signing it to take Preston and W ate ma's shares, had a right to withdraw; but at all molds La thought it would not prevent the other plaintiffs k.:en going on. But even supposing the active had not bean properly signed, ho thought there was alma. dant ground tom the interference of the court. He am. eidered the subsequent oimeluct of the defendant Walesa ha have been oppressive, improper, and almost lo traed ; he alluded to his detention of the insoldiami ship, his Winging action., arresting the captain. she 111116. triaturiag evidence, and he should snake him pay the of the mast and of all the odious. With respect to the redo moss whittle had been presented against Brozman, his Humour said that be had already said there were many things in his conduct which he should wish to have been different; bet with respect to the complaints there made about the em ployment of his eons, end the free passage of his daughter, although he thought it would have been more delicate mot to have so meted, still, no harm had resulted. Brumes must, of course, account for any profits made since he had been in . pstosession, and he should give no costs of that petition Is either side. The decree wauld he that the SI rewired by Watson under the agreement in the plead tags Mreilightil might to be considered as received on no coast Of elm Miffs; that the receipt of that sum without etommunissibig the feet of such agreement was fraudulent, and entitled Or owners of three-fourths of the shares to give sisehie M determine the agency of Watson; sad that it was dolennhinl by the notice which had been served ; perpetual Inlnesalea to restrain Watson from aslant la abip's bestial. nolosat of the sums received, sad itinerant that defewilaste pay the Nets of the actions at law, arifithaw, if the dofeadante acquiesce in the sale of their s quiry as to the value of those shares, and direct by plaintiffs at that sae. If they decline to sell, then ND order on that poiat. Liberty to all parties to apply. A dismission then ensued as to what was to be doe* ID tito pest to the undertakings given that the ship, as well as the plaintiffs pereocally, should be answerable for the share of the defendants in the vessel, she having been taken out of the jurisdiction, arid being now in the Black Sea ; which malted in the undertaking ot the plaintiffs being continued but that of their solicitor withdrawn.

I taught tn • chi...trey, Frew+, Getman, history, end reo.traphy. I had undertaken drawing and literature, but hat .pportun ty i•f teazt,ing Vein. I went to church Ass Is, and took the sacrament from the hands of Mr. Nloy,ey hirwelf. After I had been there seven or eight ' day% Mr.. Willey showed me a letter from Mrs. Hill. On the evening I arrived at Combo, Mrs. Moysey was very agreeable. We talked together about religion. She uid her hushaed belonged to the Low Church, but was of good standing. She had before said she should write to Mrs. Mill. Oa the 22d .lu4, Mrs. Moysey said to me, " Made moiselle, we wish you to leave immediately." I said, " Now ?" She repeated that I mast leave immediately. I said, " For what reasin ?'• She said, "We wish you to leave." I said, " But where am Ito go ? I have got a right to three months' notice. I have got no hems in Eng land ; sad if I went, there would be appearances against my character which I don't deserve." She said, tt How meet. timed. you want? Will from this day to the Zed August be sufkcient time br you to find a place to go to ?" I said, "Certainly it would be enough for that." She answered, " You can leave, them, wit e you please between this time and then; but you must con eider the 2nd of August as the last day on which you can remain." I insisted on the three months' notice, because of m character. Sits said if I did not promise to leave she wou ld call for her husband. I stood by the door' of the drawing-room, so that she could not peas; upon which, she walked out of the window, which was rather low. On the 26th of July, I inquired by what conveyance I could get to London. She told me ; and I said if she would see about the conveyance I might perhaps go on the next day, instead of waiting until the following Saturday. This was at dinner, and after dinner she called me into the drawing-room and showed me some money, which I said was not enough, as I was entitled to three months' salary. I left on the 27th of Jetty. I n bad the honour to speak to Mr. Moysey all the time I was there. Mrs. Moysey complained of me, but, on the contrary, much approved of my system of teaching. I headed her several testimonials—ene from the Chamberlain of the (lore° of Hanover, and another from my French professor, a rector is the University of Liege. (The tesmonisls were produced.) Croweaarained by Mr. Serjeant She..—Both my parents are French. They entertain protestant rrinciplee. I ne• vex saw them attend Roman catholic places of worship. I have seen them attend a protestant place of worship. At the age of ten years I did sot know the difference between religions. I was then put into an English protestant school at Brussels. My mamma gave me a high religious instraetion. I was 16 when I left the oohed. I then went home. I then professed the protestant religion, and did not attend the Roman catholic worship, although I went sometimes to a Roman catholi.: church to hear the music. It was not my practice to attend divine worship on Sundays and holidays in the Roman catholic churches. I went to a protestant place of worship with my parents and 'islets. After some time I went into Germany, and entered into families of the first distinction, amongst others that of Baron von Derdeker, the Chamberlain of the King of Hanover. I never said I was a Roman catholic, or professed to be one. This letter (after reading it) may be Madame von Derdeker's handwritiug. I should wish it to be read out aloud. I lived with them in the Huts Mountains. I did not attend divine worship with her family. They never went to church at all. I may have bees to a Roman catholic church whilst I was with her, hat I attended a protestant place of worship. I stayed at Mrs. Hill's five or sin weeks. When I left I told her I was obliged to go immediately to Germany, and I asked her to take my sister Julia. I went to Chester on the day I left her, and entered into the employment of Mrs. Giles. At Taunton Mrs. Moysey did not ask me for English testimo nials. I did not mention Mrs. Giles to her. I said I could refer her to Mrs. Blanche. I did not say Mrs. Blanche waa much attached to me. I said she knew from the first that 1 could not stop with her. Ido not remember saying that M. Blanche would have increased my salary. said she gave me 301. a year. Mrs. Blanche, in fact, gave me 301., but she esteemed it to be 601. for the reason she has mentioned in her letter. Mrs. Moysey did not tell me she should ones to no arrange ment with me until she had heard from Mrs. Blanche. Soon after I received Mrs. Moysey's prepaid, I sent down another proposal to her with a slight alteration. I was then much absorbed is literary and theological pursuits. Mrs. Moysey sever told me that I could not have the situation upon the reference I had given. Mrs. Hill was disappointed at losing my sister, and so wrote a letter, in her rage, to Mrs. Blanche. Ite-ezemiaad—l wrote twice to Mrs. Hill. Mrs. Blanche wrote to me on the subject of salary, eaplainlag to me how she made up the 301. to 601. per salaam, by keeping me defies the vasatioas. Mrs. Moysey, after the 7th May, sent me this letter and proposal. (The proposal was read, and stated the terms spoil which Mrs. Misysey tamed the plaintiff. She was to have a salary of 601. a-year, with 31. the first three months, and was to teach French, German, history, geography, the use of the globes, zoology, botany, mineralogy, French and English literature, the elementary rudiments of writing, arithmetic, music, and danciag, the practice of dancing and calisthenic exercises.) Alter a bag correspondence, in which I mid I should require some es instead, the matter ended by the arrangement that I was to have 501. a year. By Mr. Serjeant Shee—l said to the Princess of Carta that I was a Boman catholic, as I had been baptised in the Romieh church. She said, " Although my son is destined to the throes of Naples, which is a catholic country, I wish him to entertain protestant principles, and to read the Bible every day." I deny that I produced Swiss teatinsonials to Mrs. Hill. I received the sacrament of the protestant church for the first time at Mrs. Hill's. I did not tell Mrs. Blanche that nay sister would suit her better than me be cause she believed in the Scriptures, nor did I ever tell her I was " an unbeliever or an infidel." I remember cue even log, after 11 o'clock, when Mr. Howled was with Mr. 1 , Blanche and some other persona in the atoly amehlas sand drinking, they ailed me in to join in tbelleinesseillem, EMI asked me to remain with then. I had always of the tedious war of preaching of ministen ef the of England, and f then said that, if I could be tell a an intelligent man who was preaching in England, I would go miles to hear him. Mr. Howard said he knew of one. I said I would go to hear him an I was then a "payee," but of course I used that word only in jest—in fan. I never said I did not believe in the Bible, or anything like it, except that single work when they were all smoking and talking comfortably together. By Mr. U. Chambers—We were merely d' the merits of English preachers. I have translated iota &s -hah, "Disquisitions on the Psalms," and other Gersten theological works, by liengstenberg. I was always much interested in such studies. This was the case on disport of the plaiatiff. At the sitting ol the court this morning, Mr. Perlman% nee addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, saying, that the question they had to try was of far greater importance than the mere question of pecuniary compensation. He would satisfy them that no such unconditicnal contract had been entered into by Mrs. Moysey with the plaintiff as she (the plaintiff) had stated ; but that even if it had been entered into, it was done in consequence of fraud and misrepresentation on the part of the plaintiff. The learned serpent read several letters from the plaintiff to Mrs. Ilaymy, in which she stated her qualifications. She said, amongst other things, that she was a person of goad family, her father belonging to the French bar, of amiable and lively temper, of protestant prin ciples, and accustomed to the best society. Mrs. Moyeey, thinking that the person who thus offered herself tor an engagement was something out of the common, wrote and gave every particular of the mode of living of her family, in order that eh* might judge whether the situation would snit her. The learned sapient then stated the account given by Mrs. Moysey of the circumstacces under which the e meat of the plaintiff was entered into. The letter of the 27th June, from Mrs. Blanche to Mrs. Moysey, gave a very favourable description of the plaintiff's qualifications as:a teacher, both with regard to abilities and tamper, and stated that she (Mrs. Blanche) had no doubt that she was a protestant; but added that she could not say mach with regard to her sound religious principles, and that she (Mrs. Blanche) bad parted with her because she bead family prayer, gran before and after meals, and othn each regula tions tedious, although she submitt ed to then with a good grace." When Mrs. Moysey raw the plaintiff at Taunton, on the second occa%ion alter the receipt of this letter, she ezpreeely told her that she could not be received into her family as governess, and bad only taken her to Combe to explain the circumstances under which she thought proper to decline the engagement. Having read some further extracts from the correspondence, which was very voluminous, the learned serjeant concluded by submitting that he had no doubt that the evidence he should all would satisfy them that his client was entitled to their The Best witness celled for the defence was Mrs. hloyeey, examined by Mr. Ogle—Lest April I was in want of a governem, and I received • letter from the plaintiff enclosed in one from Miss Pole, in consequence of which l wrote to the plaintiff on the 20th of April. I received another letter is reply. After some farther correspondence I root her at Taunton on the 7th of May, at the London Inn. Bhe produced French and Ovinnan testisnosials. I was satisfied, with regard to secular education, with the French testimonials, but there was no mention in them of religions principles. I told her so, and asked her if she had any English testimonials to offer, as it was usual in England to apply at the last situation a governess had occupied. She said she had several references, bat she would refer me to Mrs. Blanche, which was her last situation. I said I would write to Mrs. Blanche. She said that Mrs. Blanche was very anxious to keep her, that she had refused her notice to quit several times, and had offered any sum of money rather than lose her. She also said As did not like school life, or living with rti.senters, but she wished to live with a clergyman of the church of England, as she had always been brought up in the principles of that church by Mrs. Bassett, at whose school she had lived sit years ; and that Mrs. Blanche was not aware that she had come to Taunton, bat she was determined to leave her. She said she was saunas to get her sister Julia into Mrs. Blanche's situation; but if she knew she bad come to meet me she (Mrs. Blanche) might be annoyed, and re fuse to take her ; and therefore she requested me to delay writing to Mrs. Blanche until her sister's affair was settled. I agreed, and paid her travelling expenses, and re turned home. I wrote to her on the bat May, stating my terms. She afterwards returned a note nearly similar to mine. There was a long correspondence, in which she urged me to take her, and offered to come for WI. a-year. In June I wrote to ask her for the reference to Mts. Blanche. She replied, saying that her sister had got the situation, sad therefore I might apply to Mrs. Blanche. I immediately did so, and Mrs. Blanche sent me as answer, dated the 27th June. (This was the letter read by Mr. Serjeant Sbee.) I received it on toe 29th June, aid on this same evening I wrote to the present plaintiff, and enclosed the letter its one to Mrs. Blanche, who returned the enclosure. (The letter to the • tiff was to decline engaging her, bat hen. Mambo refwd to deliver it.) I had &wasted to meet the plain- THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 22, taloa the 2.1 July. On that day I -vela to Tauutun, where I put up, as usual, at t'o London Hotel, and wee told that the plaintiff was there. I wee -lows into the room where the was. I had not expected to see her, as I had written to put her oft. She was at dinner. 1 left her and afterwards returned, but found that she had gone out. It was some time before she returned. It oceu'red to me that I could nut leave her unprotected in Taunton at that late hour, and so I took her home to Cumbe. Mr. Horsey was at Ply- I mouth, and did not return for several days. I asked her if she bad received any message from Mrs. Blanche. She said she had not. 1 said Mrs. Blaache's character was uneatis factory, and told her in what points. Sle said she could not account (or Mrs. Blanche's change of sentiments towards her, but she supposed it was in consequence of Mrs. Blanche having lost several pupils because abs had given notice to quit. I said I would show her the letter when I reached home, bat it was impossible that I could keep her, as it appeared from that letter that she was not truthful, and that she was not strict in her religious opinions. She begged me to keep her, at least till she had an opportunity of writing to her friends, and offered to teach the children for nothing for three months if I would allow her to stay in the house. I declined to de so. The last part of this conversation took place at home, when I had shown her Mrs. Blanches letter. I said she might stay until I heard from Mr. Moymy. He returned on the 9th July. I had written to him, and heard from him in the meantime. lb. plaintiff' had raked me to write to Mrs. Hill, sad to writs again to Mrs. Blanche. I wrote to Mrs. 11111, and received an answer from her. I also had two or three letters from Mrs. Bleach.. I then had two of the younger children at home. I did not give her any ceders to instruct them, but she did so. I received a letter from Mr. ileysoy on the 6th, desiring me to send her away, and I communicated it to her. She appealed to my filcher, saying she was homeless and friendless, and entreating me not to turn her out. I then said I would let her stay one mouth from the time she came. She said nothing about a three months' notice to quit. Oa Mr. kloysey's return, I commu nicated the arrangement I had made to him. On the 26th she told me she had received letters from London which would oblige her to leave, and asked if I kaew of any omveyanee. I said I thought the carrier left the neat moreiag, and I would send to the village to inquire. She spent the rest of the day packing up. Is the after noon I seat for her to the drawieg-roeue, and gave her a cheque for 7!. 14s. 9d., which was a masth's from the 24th June till the day she left, and tre la fr. extra for ths first month, according to the agreement. The rest was for her travelling expenses. She was at first goats to take it, and said she would not clump for her din ner at Tauntoe, but ultimately declined to take it. She bad said she was penniless, so I afterwards enclosed the cheque to bet in a tote, but she returned it is another note. It was not given me till as hoer after she left the home. I received a letter from her, dated August. The let ter claimed WI. 7e. 4d., for her salary and other items, and was replied to by Mr. Hooey, who denied having en , tered into any enpgement with her, and again offered 71. 14e. 9d. She sever told me she bad lived with Mrs. 11111 or Hrs. Oiler. •. _ Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—She frequently appealed to my feelings as a stranger. I asked Mr. Moysly about the form of engagement. I wrote to ler a form, which she copied and returned with her signature. Mrs. Blanche—l keep an establishment for young ladies at Woodland Villa, Honey, in Gloswestenhire. The plain tiff came to me as French teacher on the 4th of April. I remember her absent oa one Saturday, when she told me she was going to Bath to en a friend. She had not then said anything about quitting me. She wish to Wave me. I gave her notice to leave She after wards said she should like her sister to take her place, be cause her sister was more religious than herself. Before she left I told her I was going to part with her on account of bet non-religious principles, and because some of the young ladies said they should not return if Madlle. was with me after the 26th. She showed a restlessness sad dislike to family worship, sometimes reading a book while I was read ing the Bible. Sks has said that the Bible was an ancient book, but she did not believe it to be a true book. She fre quently converted on the subject with me, trying to prove that the Bible was sot true. I remember a conversation with her upon Mr. Brewin Grant's work against acclaiming and intidehry, and the said, " He would do for me, became* lam an infidel." The plaintiff would commeacie her meals before gran was over. She told me she should not remain at Mrs. hioysey's longer than Michaelmas. She wrote me from Mn. lloysey's, asking me to give her a religious cha meter (In this letter the plaintiff said that she wu thu. roughly a Christian, although not so strict as emir persons in point of form.) I once told her that I wondered at her entering the family of a clergymen. She said, "they are not at all particular ; they never have famil prayer or grace." My husband said he supposed it was a tow-hunting clergy man, and the laughed. She said they did not mind having a dinner party on a Sunday. Cruse-examined—The conversation about the Bible n amed early in June. My sister and my husband were pre mot. It arose from a conversation about the impropriety of lying. I thought her an satire insdeL Mr. Howard is now studying with a surgeon. The coaversation about Mr. Grant's book occurred late in the inning. Lydia Janos, the sister of the last witness, mid that the plaitedff had told her that she thought the Bible was an eb mine book, and asked if she (witness) believed in it. I said it was a very strange question. She laughed. On another occasion she said she did not believe in Jesus Christ, and thought the visions of the prophets were only day-dreams. She asked if I had read the Bible through, and if I was not such surprised at many skims which were in it. She said she thought our Saviour was too intimate with Martha sad Mary. . . . Clots-examined—l omumaicated these coaversatioss to lay sister, bat Ido not remember at what time. I took no notice of the dates No me was in the room when they °centred. They were sot long.

But then came what he might call the frightful qut stioa, whether the defendant wu induced to enter into the con tract through fraud and misrepresentation oa the part of the plaintiff? The most insportaat part of this branch of the case related to her assertion that she was a protestant. If they believed that she had represented herself to be • pro testant, and they also believed the evidence given by him Blanche and her sister, he thought the plea of fraud had been established. The evidence of these two want:sees via certainly denied by the plaintiff, but they must say whether they coasidgrool that the conversations spoken to by those witnesses were lavenders'.

IILACIMORE.—FALIII3 111/ . 111110:0111MT. Mr. James and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Cress for the defendant. The plaintiff (a Oerm.in by With) is a merchant raiding at Hull, where he has lived fur the last nineteen years, and carried oa business for ten years ; and tte defendant keeps a public bowie oiled The King William," at Hall. It appear.d t , at the was in the habit of going across from Hull to G r. - many on matters of commerce. The plaintiff and defendant had been accustomed to join together in small speculations for the pummel, of grain, cattle, etc., in Germany, to be shipped to Hall. In November last the plaintiff went across to Oldenberg to purchase merchandise, as usual, when he was offered 300 quarters of beans by • Mr. Muller, at 28e. per quarter On his return to Hull the de fendant agreed to join him In purebesiag this beans, and advanced 1001. for that purpose. Tim *Mal returned !o Oldesbeog, but Mod he soul sot this Auk the bane as the pries previously offered. lie, however, forwarded about 60 quarters to the defendant, and subsequently per ' chased 100 quarters more, which could not be shipped, as the steamer bad awed arum. Plaintiff off, red to return the defendaat his mousy, but he insisted on having the beans, the pries of which had risen very considerably, and they continued at a high prior during the following spring and summer. Oa the 29th of July last the defendant put en account under the door of the plaintiff's bone, and on the follow's( day gave him is charge of a policemen for obtaining noway under false pretences. Plaintiff we. taken to the leek-up, a cold, dirty, disgusting plate, sad Keened with thieves and other dis reputable chancier*, from Saturday, the 30th July, until the following Monday, when he was brought before the magistrates, end discharged on his own recognisance. lie subsequently appeared again, whoa no charge was preferred against him. The plaintiff's wife was very ill at the time of his apsireheasios, and this fact was known to the defen dant. When the ease was ultimately dismissed by the magistrates, the plaintiff was arrested in consequence of an affidavit which Ind been made by the defendant and a policeman, that they believed he was about to quit the country. This statement, the plaintiff said, there was no foundation whatever for making. The civil action was still pending, the defendant having given the required bail. Tho defendant had charged the plaintiff with being a rogue ' and *swindler • but it appeared that he had acted through out with the k nowledgei of the defendant, as was shown by certain correepondenee between them and by the plaintiff's evidence. There were two smuts in the declaration, the first charging the false imprisonment, to which the defendant pleaded that be had " reasonable and probable cause," and the second alleging that the defendant had uttered certain slanderous exprondom of the plaintiff. To this count the defendant pleaded a justification. The plaintiff was called and examined at great length, and was mush affected is several parts of his evidence. The nee was moinedinte when Mr. Serpent Wilkins interposed, and the plaintiff having communicated with lois counsel, the learned enigma said he was placed in somewhat embetrasaing circumstances. The defendant wee set there, sad his solicitor had gone to look for him ; the Landes agent only was present. He thought it was utterly immoral' to justify the conduct of the de fendant, and, belkviag it to be hie duty to the public as well as to the owart, he had prevailed on the other side to consent to terms whisk were very generous and creditable on their pert ; and be begged to say that there was no ground whatever he noting any imputation on the ehs reeler of the Adult It was arranged that a verdict should he entered far the plaintiff, damages 51., to carry coats, and that a stet Meellaine should be entered in the action now pending by the defendant against the plaintiff, who would leave the mast without a stain on his character. The Chief Isims--This appears to me to be one of those eases in which s proem be. beea used in a most improper .surer.

After having does so be returns and is attacked in this extraordinary manner. Something very much like a partnership noted between the parties. The action is not brought to obtain money, but to defend the plaintifi's character, whin, I think, it has fully succeeded in doing.

It is to give good advise. The Chief Baron—l have often, when at the bar, said I would Let as counsel, bat not as an agent. Mr. Newstead, solicitor, said he had received a telegraphic communication from Hull last night to say that the defend ant would be In London this morning, and his clerk was goes to look for him. The Chief Baron—lt is now 12 o'clock. There is plenty of time for him to have Ines here. It appears to me to be • case that calls for very serious damages ; sad the ease is really decided by the defendant's own handwriting. I can't help saying that I think it is a great piece of good fortune for the defender.' that he is out of nun. Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly. COURT OF r.YESIIIRDAY. IN RI OLIVII.-CAIN OF A MINING ARMIN DZALNR. This was the meeting for choickof assignees in theme of Philip Oliver, dealer in mining shares, of Brompton, and of a place in Cardiganshire. The liabilities are large—it is supposed about 5,0001. or 6,000/. ; the amount of assets is uncertain. Only one creditor appeared to prove, tad the choice of assignees was adjourned. Mr. Linklater then applied for the discharge of the bank rupt from custody, when he had been for the last five months. Mr. Nicholls opposed the discharge, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Jones, the provisional assignee is the Insolvent Court, and two other creditors. The bankrupt had been arrested on the 6th of July i • vesting order was obtained on the 6th of August, regains' him to Ills his schedule, but he had not yet done so. It was contended that by this contempt he had forfeited the benefit of the 112th section. Mr. Lawrence also opposed, for Mr. Grandy and Mr. Wright, two creditors. Has Honour refused the application for discharge, on the ground that the bankrupt was in contempt of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and was keeping himself in gaol by neg testing to file hie schedule. mon ma. oinammons WAX& IN 11 :AXIS ILAMIII GIBBONS. The bankrupt was a straw-hat warehouseman, of Wood street, Cheeped,. This was the adjourned last examination smiting. The accounts prepared by Mr. Maynard, were very voluminous, extending over two-and-three-quarter years prior to Jane last. The items were of large amount : To eredttms, 29,4071. ; ditto, secured, 6191. ; liabilities, 6,1201. ; assets about 4,6001. At the commencement of the accounts the bankrupt bad a surplus of 2211. There were no profits; the losses amounted to the large sum of 17,9441. ; expenses 4,8621. Mr. Waller, for the assignees, stated that they had effected a compromise with one of the largest debtors to the estate, and were new satisfied with the accounts. Mr. Honeyman, on behalf of a creditor named Graham, required some further Monition as to the bankrupt's transactions with MT. Was, of Latin, who was a credi tor for 2,8001. Mr. Graham win eitainSiid, and stated that several of the creditors including die assignee, had their debts secured in the Trade Guarantee tiodety, and on that account they were lees anxious to look into the bankrupt's affairs. Mr. Waller denied that two of the assignees had their debts soured. The failure was a very heavy one ; the bankrupt, after three years' trading, stopped, owing 29,0001., with only 4,0001. of meets. He accounted fur hie deficiency throug h having sold goods below cost price to M'lnteeh and Clayton. Proeeediugs were pending againet the latter, mad it might be as well if the examination stood over till alter Hilary Term. Mr. Lawrence for the baakrupt, said, the assignees were willing for the b ankrupt to pus at the last meeting. Mr. Walls denied this, as did one of the assignees. Mr. Lowrance said they had consented in the first in-' stance, but afterwards wished an adjournment on the ground of the opposition made by a creditor. As the case now stood he would not resist an adjournment. His Honour, is directing an adjournment, said he was certain that Mr. Lawrence was incapable of making any in tentioaal misressentation. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAY. 110011/1 xa. 0010WWWW2 His Honour sat for a short time, and the court on its rising adjourned to next week, for the Christmas recess. 11.1 I. W. . This case was again mentioned. The property had not been actually delivered, but was ready to be given up to the auctioneer of the court. _ _ Mr. Commi-sioner Phillips said the insolvent would not be discharged until the °Mar of the court was in possession. His Honour pronounced a conditional discharge, on ac count of the adjournment of the court. In this case the costs on the application of Mr. Macrae, who appeared for a creditor, were allowed. IN IN TOUNO. Mr. Reed applied to pay about 1,0001. into court in this ease, arising out of an intestate estate, to which the in solvent was entitled. The Court granted the application. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-ROUSE. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE BILL FORGERIES. ;Valiant Anderson, a person of very respectable appear- ance, aged about 30 years, who it WAS reported hu been extensively engaged in business in the City for some time, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the cartody of John Forrester, the officer, upon the charge of having uttered a forged bill of exchange for 2,2501. Mr. H Ater attended for the defence. The prisoner kept his handkerchief to his face and sobbed aloud frequently during the investigation. Mr. Thomas Scurr Womenley said—l am • bill broker in Lombard-street Chambers, Clement's-lane, and belong to the firm of Womenley and Burt. Yesterday, at about two o'clock, the prisoner brought in the bill of exchange I pro duce for 2,2501., and asked me to discount it. I wished him to leave it for a short time. He did so, and left the office; and I went and made inquiries about the bill at the offices of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Chapman, where I saw Mr. Chapman, with whom I left the bill. Mr. Chapman sent the bill hack to me with intelligence that it was a forgery, and at about three o'clock, or a little before, the prisoner re turned. I then had possession of the bill, and knew that it was a forgery. I told hint that it was a forgery, and that I must give him in charge. He said that he could not understand what we meant, and that he would go on to the acceptors with me. I had the bill in my hand, but did not show it to him after I had received it from Mr. Chapman. I said it was useless to go to the gentlemen whose acceptance the bill appeared to be, as they had seen the bill, and said that:it was not their acceptance. He made no reply to that. Daniel Forrester, whaled been sent for by Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Chapeau, came in while the prisoner was waiting in the ofiee, sad I said I must give the prisoner is charge to Mr. Femmes:. I do not recollect whether he made any observation spot the occasion. He and Forrester then left tbe ellin se me s• tis s aipasses can to sae, as I andsamel. Meg pylon be time. TM wI gees bibs km be Sant then was any property at the prisoner's office, s yid he imagined that such was the cue, but nut in consequence of any conversa• tiun he had had with the prisoner. I retained possession of the bill. I had given nothing for it. I did not discount it. I am quite sure the bill produced is the same hill the pri Esser brought to ine, and which I gave to Mr. Chapman. I have not since had any conversation with the prison r, nor have I seen him since until I saw him in custody st the Mansion-house. I lied previously discounted fur the pri soner, and have bills still outstanding. I know his writing. and am of opinion that the endorsement of his name on the bill is his. The Lord Mayor—Do you believe that there is something in the outstanding bills ? Witness—l have reason to believe that there is. They are not in our possession. The following is a copy of the bill of exchange : " B 2,163. " Calcutta, 4th October, 1883. " No. 620, exenange for 2,280/.

The following letter, containing the delivery warrant for currants, copied below, was found in the possession of the prisoner. It was not addressed to any person : " Dear Sir,-1 have but this moment, Tuesday, obtained the enclosed. In course of the afternoon I will, if pos• Bible, come down and complete the other matters; bat I cannot promise, as I have so much on hand.

Mr. Lambert Van Notten Pole, merchant, of Nos. 2 and 3, Lime-street•square City, said—l have one partner, and we trade under the 6m of J. and C. Van Notten and Co. There is not a Mr. Van Notten in the firm. We bank at Messrs. Martin and Co.'s, and make our bills payable there. The acceptance to the bill of exchange produced is not in my writing, nor in that of my partner, nor has it been written by my authority. I hare never heard of any other firm of the same name trading in London. The bill of exchange is entirely unknown to me, and so is the supposed drawer. Daniel Forrester, principal officer of the Mansion-house, said—Yesterday afternoon, at about thrs.e o'clock, I was sent for to the house of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Chapman, and I saw Mr. Chapman. I then went by his direction, with William Clarke, to the of fi ce of Messrs. Womerdey and Burt, in Lombard-street chambers, Cle ment's.tane. When I got there I was ushered into a room where the prisoner was by Mr. Womersley, who said, "This is Forrester, and I malt give you in charge." I understood it was upon the subject of some bill which war forged, and the name of Van Notion was mentioned, and whilst I was there a Mr. Fries came in, and asked the prisoner for 1,6001., and the prisoner, and Mr. Fries, and Clarke, and I, went in a cab to Broad-street, where the prisoner said his expected the money was. The money not having ar rived there, we went to Billiter-street, where the prisoner went up the staircase of No. 21, and turned short to the left, slammed the door, and went in, and through another door down another staircase, No. Tl, and into the street. He had muttered a word or two to a gentleman into whose office he bad turned, and he then suddenly started through the other door. I ran after him, and be was stopped at the corner of Mincing-lane. I found in his pos. aeseion two Beak of England notes—the one for 6001., the other for 1001., and the letter and warrant for the cur rants. The Lord Mayor—Do you believe the warrant relates to some other charge ? Witness—l do. I found a great many papers at his counting-house. Mr. 'Fallings (of the firm of Young and Veiling') at tended to watch the proceedings upon the put of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Chapman, and stated that there were several other charges of a similar kind against the prisoner, one of them being to the amount of 3AOI. Mr. Nobler applied to the Lord Mayor to allow his client, who, he said, had carried on business six or seven years in the City with a high character, to give in bail to appear on the day of the second examination. The strongest opposition was made to the Application to admit bail, and The Lord Mayor said he could not fer a moment think of accepting bail, whatever might be the amount proposed, and however high the character of the securities. Thscprisoner, who was taken sobbing from the bar, and who for a moment uncovered any part of his face, was then remanded, and conveyed to prison in a cab. BOW-STREET. Robert Gardner, who called himself a compositor, was charged with assaulting a woman named Mary Brazier, living at 7, Lazenby-court, Long-acre. The complainant stated that she was the wife of a cab man, and yesterday afteraoon a young servant girl, named Ann Fox, was drinking tea at her house, wken the defen dant forced his way into the house, and demanded to see her. Witness knew that the defendant had induced the girl to leave her situation under a promise of marriage, and that he had been the cause of her spending all her money and pawning her clothes, so she was determined to prevent his taking her away. Both witness zad the girl resisted him, the latter declaring that she would have no more to say to him ; upon which the defendant raised his arm and struck witness a severe blow in the eye, which knocked her down. He also used threatening language to Ann Fox. The defendant was drunk at the time. Ann Foe corroborated this statement, and said that she was to have been married on Saturday last to the defendant, who had causes? the banns to be published, but at the last moment declined to fulfil his promise; although ha :had Rot her to leave her place, and had spent all her money. She had since learned that defendant had been living for several years upon the prostitution of a young woman. Mr. Henry—Did you consent to marry him without knowing anything about his character? Witness—He was "recommended" to me by a young female friend in Lazenhy-court. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry inquired if he had used any violence toward. witness Witness replied that he threatened to stick her with • knife if she did not leave Mrs. Brasier's house and ac company him. Mr. Henry, after lecturing the girl upon the imprudence of her intended match, told the defendant that he had a MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Frederick Manager, a foreigner of respectable appear ance, was charged with having obtained money from hotel keepers by fraudulent pretence. Thomas Harper said be was manager of Stephen's Hotel, Bond-street. In November last the defendant came into the coffee room and ordered dinner. The prisoner then re quested to see him in another room, and when there he said he wanted to take apartments for Count Hartzteld, who would be in England in a day or two, and should wish to see what rooms were disengaged. The prisoner was shown • suite of rooms, and he said they would do, and engaged them for Count Ilutzfeld. The prisoner had his dinner and slept at the hotel. Tho next morning he made inquiries about some luggage, which he expected to arrive from the railway station, and he went out to ascertain, as he said, why it was detained. In a short time the prisoner returned, and said the person who gave out the luggage at the station hod gone for the day, and he could not get his property. The prisoner then pretended that he had a check on • banker's in Gresham street, which he wanted to get cashed, and having made some inquiries about the possibility of reaching the City in time to present the draft, went out, but returned in a few minutes, and requested the loan of two sovereigns, which were to be charged in the bill. Witness believing that the prisoner had been authorised to engage the rooms for Count Hartzfeld gave him the money. The prisoner, efter running up a bill at the hotel, suddenly left, and was net again heard of until yesterday, when, having been met with accidentally, he weft given into the custody of the police. As there were a number of other charges of a similar nature against the prisoner, and more were expected, Mr. Bingham decided on remanding the prisoner until next Wednesday. George Johnson, a lad about 16 years of age, was charged with uttering • counterfeit sovereign. Conrad Wise, who gave his evidence in German, which was interpreted to the court by Mr. Albert, stated that he was a wood carver, and carried on business at 213, Regent. street, and that, about eight o'clock last night, the prisoner came to his shop, and, producing a piece of paper en which was written the following—" Please to send by bearer one of your 3s. boxes (signed) W. W."—said, in French, that a gentleman had sent him with the order, and had directed him to pay for it and take it to him. Witness, who had been " done " by a similar trick on Monday night, told the prisoner he would go with him and take an assortment of boxes to show the gentleman. Prisoner said, " Oh, no, I don't want that, because I'm in a hurry." Prisoner then tendered the counterfeit sovereign produced in payment, and demanded the change. Prosecutor at once detected the trick, and fetched • constable, and gave him in charge. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was remanded till to-day, for the attendance of the Mint solicitor.
