The Vice-Chancellor said he should continue the injunc tion. It appeared to him to be • case which required further investigation ; but some of the facts were undisputed. It ap by the defendants' answer that it had come to their knowledge that the young lady had been the ward of Maclean, that she bad lived under his protection, and had attained her majority in September, 1831. It was alan within their knowledge that before 1818 Maclean was in difficulties; this they knew from transactioas which had taken place between them and Maclean himself. They had bad information that Miss Maitland was possessed of considerable property. It then appeared that there had been transactions between ?desire. Backbones and Messrs. Pocklow and Vaughan, and on the 12th of March the promisaory note in question, which en the face of It purported to be given by Maclean. was presented to them by Pocklow and Vaughan. They did not immediately dis count the note, but they caused inquiries to be made, and then the operation took place which was stated in the answer, by which it appeared they credited the sum of 6,0001 to Pocklow and Vaughan, minus the sum of 811. for discount. It was, however, very singular that on the books this sum of 5,061. was placed to the account of Pocklow and Vaughan, but there was no entry whatever of the sum of 811. His Honour thought one of the most valuable parte of the jurisdiction of a court of equity was that of prevent ing any unfair influence being exercised over there who were placed under the control of others ' • and, in Es opik nine, this was • case which justified the interference of the court. The defendants perfectly well knew that Mir Maitland had but • little while previously been a ward of Maclean's, and living under his control; and without mak ing any inquiries of theplaintiff herself,who was the only per- i son really interested in the transaction, they took upon thins- selves to advance the sum of 5,0001. He did not wish to say anything harsh respecting the conduct of the Messrs. Back house, but he thought there wee • case of suspicion suffi ciently strong to enable him to interfere ; he should, there fore,_ continuo the injunction. MOOURIDOI V. TllO , l sS.—INJIINCTION RESTRAINING Tan SAL. OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH DISSULTRI).—Mr. Bethell and Mr. Harrison moved to dissolve an injunction, granted ex parts in January last, to restrain the defendant, who was a dentist, residing in Duke-street, Grosvenor square, froml manufacturing, alien, setting, selling, or supplying any artificial teeth in imitation of the artificial teeth made under a patent obtained by the plaintiff. The ground upon which the motion was made was that the reties of motion upon which the injunction we, applied for contained the words manufacturing, fixing, setting, or supplying, and that the word selling was afterwards added in the injunction ; that, in consequence of this irregularity, the irjunction ought to be disso lve d.—Mr. P. Cooper and Mr. Hilton ap peared in support of the order.—The Vice-Charcellor con sidered the objection valid, and dissolved the ii.junction. Before Kaixtst Bruit,. SHACKLETON V. FRITCLIFIE.-01URCTION TO SPECIFIC PIRFORMANC, OP CONTRACT OF SALE,ON THE GROUND OP lINDISCLOSID WATER-RIGHT9.—The plaintiffs, as devisee* in haat of a Mr. Edmund Wadsworth, had put up kr sale, by auction, a farm and lends called Higher Margatahaw, neer Halifax, subject to cattalo conditions, among which wee the usual one, that any mistake in the printed par tknlor should not vacate the sale, but that compensation should be given or taken as the case might require. It turned out that upon certain sales made by a former owner of the land, rights were granted to the then purchasers to receive the water flowing from the land now contracted to be told, by certain artificial channels, and to enter upon the lastmentioled land for the purpose of repairing thew than. nets, and for other purposes incidental to the enjoyment of their rights. On the discovery of these rights the purchaser refused to complete, and the present suit was instituted by the vendors to enforce a specific performance of the contract, with compensation if neeessary.—Mr. Wigram, Mr. Stinton, and Mr. Malins, for the plaintiffs, contended that the rights, conferred by the grants, were not more extensive than would lave existed independently of those instruments, and that the portions of the farm to which the right of entry extended were so small, as to be proper subjects of compensation.—Mr. Rumen and Mr. Follett appeared for the defendant, and the Vice-Chancellor reserved judgment, which he now delivered, dismissing the Dill with costs, and holding that the righte in question created a defect in the plaintiffs title, of which the defendant was not apprised; and that, having regard to the whole quantity of the land purchased, the portion' of it af fected by the right' in question were too considerable to ad mit of compensation being made. SPOONER V. PATNA.—INJ”NCTION TO ',STRAIN INSOL TENT lIIITIRID COMMISSIONER OP BANKRUPT FROM MIS Colleens:trict—lt will be remembered that an application was made on the tut day of bankrupt peti hoes for an order directing the accountant-general in bankruptcy to pay to the assignee under the insolvency of Mr. Payne, a retired commissioner of bankrupt at Bristol, the amount of the compensation awarded to that gentleman under the 5 & 6 Vic., c. 122; and that his honour refused to interfere under kis jurisdiction in bankruptcy. A bill had now been filed, and Mr. Bacon and Mr. Faber moved in the suit for an injunction to restrain Mr. Payne from receiving and the awountant-general in bankruptcy from paying to Mr. Payne the compensation salary.—Mr. Wright, for the defendant, argued that the salary was like the pay of an officer in the army, which, it was known, would not pushy the vesting order, and that the Insolvent Debtor, Court had so held with respect to a salary like that now in question. He said that the defendant disputed the validity of the adju dication against him by the Insolvent Debtors Court.—The Vice-Chancellor said that the injunction must i-sue as against Mr. Payne, but was not requisite as regarded the accountant general in bankruptcy. BARE' 9. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY COM. -ANY.—INJUNCTION.—BOND BY INCORPORATED COM• rant RIQUIRIS Suarrize.—The respondents having filed their affidavits In this case, the motion for an injunction came an to be heard. It appeared that the notice given by the company to the plaintiffs required ten clues of land therein described, including certain saltworke at Sandbaeh, in Cheshire. They had siree entered into possession of eight of the closes, giving the plaintiffs a bond with the view of satisfying the 85th section of the Lands Clause* Consolidatien Act. The land scheduled in the bond, however, only comprised the eight closes of ' which possession had been taken, and was under the seal atlas company alone, without any sureties joining in it.— Yr. Russell and Mr. Daniell now moved for an injunction to restrain the company entering on the land, unless they pur chased the whole 10 closes.—Mr. Mains, for the company, said that the defendants were willing to take one of the re maining elan*, but not the other - and the Lord Chancellor had decided, in "Bridges e. Somerset and Wilts Railway Company" (11 Jurist, 316), that the whole need not be taken under circumstances like the present. As to the want aunties, the 86th see. of the Lands Clauses Act only re quired a bond " ander the common seal of the promoters, if they be a corporation, or if they be not a corporation under the hands and seals of the promoters, or any two of them, with two su ffi cient sureties .' The last wor th only applied to the second branch of the sentence, as had been held In construing the clause in the Statute of Frauds requiring—" a deed or writing, under the hands of the parties"—the last qualification being construed to apply to the word " writing" cal ba Vine-Chancellor said that his impression war in the plaintiffs' favour on both points, and that an injunction must be granted till further orders, with literty for the coin panT to give tirenty-kar hours' notice cf motion at any time to diabetes the injunction, upon new facts. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. _ Ton Queen O. SCHLSSINOZII.—PIarraT.—The defend ant wuconvicted at the sittings in London, after tut Michael mas term, of wilful and corrupt perjury in evidence given by him at the trial of a cause, in which it became material to ascertain whether certain writings in red ink, in certain books of account, were in his handwriting. When qui& trotted on the subject at the trial, he made a statement on oath to the effect that he did not think, or did not believe, that they were in his handwriting. This statement was made the foundation of the indictment for perjury, on which he was convicted. Subsequently an application was made to the court to enter a verdict for the defendant, or for a new trial, on the ground that a statement made on the thought or belief of the person making it would not support an indict ment for perjury ; end the court granted • rule to show cause, which was afterwards diecharged, because it was held that such • statement would support the indictment if it were also shown that the person making it knew at the time that the fact was contrary to his alleged belief—Mr. Crompton now moved for judgment and affidavits were read which set forth that the attention of the defindast had been suddenly called at the trial to the writings in question, which were then found b him to contradict a statement which he had just made ; ta t, surprised by this confutation, be had yielded to the temptation to deny the handwriting; that the defendant's business had been destroyed by the con viction, his wife's health ruined by a premature confinement brought on by the shock consequent on these and he himself subjected to four months' imprisema Prac t a , bail having surrendered him. The affidavits d same M. spectable persons in trade testified to his previous good &e -recter. and set out their belief that the defendant was in capable of committing perjury.—Lord Denman mid that the statement of the gentlemen that they believed the de. fondant incapable of committing the very crime of which he had been convicted was very improper, in form at least.—' Sir F. Thesiger, Q.C., for the defendant, enured the court that the statement adverted to would have been made in a form more correct if he had seen the affidavits before they were sworn. The learned counsel then addressed the court in mitigation of punishment. Mr. Crompton, for the prosecutors, disclaimed all personal feel ing against the defendant. This prosecution had been insti tuted to put an end to the notion that wilfully false state ments might be protected, by a qualification that they were made on the thought or belief only of the person making them. The prosecutors would be content with the least 1118Aillre of punishment which the court might think it con sistent with its duty to award.—Mr. Justice Coleridge then admonished the defendant ; and, after intimating that the court took into its consideration the time during which the defendant had already been imprisoned, sentenced him to be imprisoned in Coldbath-fields House of Correction for two calendar months, and there kept to hard labour. HODOLINSON AND WITII e. Coxtxoaev.—lreaoran CONSTITUTION Or A JVH`r—The court had taken time to emsider its judgment on an application which had been 'e early in term b' fierjeant Shee for • rale to show cause •-e defendant's verdict in this case should not .4 s, and • new trial had. The applies 't the ground that the verdict was against 'Ns on affidavits which stated that the tesover damages for *juries seeteMed by the plaintiff's wife, in consequence of the upsetting of the defendant's coach when she was a passenger by it; that one of the jurors was, at the time of the nisi, the paid servant of the defendant, in whose presence he had been sworn one of the jury; that this same juror had, some time before the trial, la a h . moms gibe defendant, requested the plain tiff to map 1111$01. in full compensation of the in juries aosolisimod et, siding that the defendant was unable to pay gins, and that the same juror acted as foreman of the jury, and delivered the radial for the defendant —Lord Naomi now said that the court hsd consulted Mr. Baron Parke, before whom the case was tried, and that the rule ought to go.—Rule nisi. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ATTORNST-OINIKAL e. BAILBY.--SARET SPIRITS Or NITRE NOT LIABLII TO DUTY AS " SPIRITS." In this ease also, which was an exciee prosecution against a chemist for making and willing sweet spirits of nitre without paying duty and accounting as for " spirits." a written judg ment was read by the Lord Chief Baron, to the effect that sweet spirits of nitre, though forming a part of ordinary spirits, yet were universally known as quite distinct from them—were an ordinary well-known ;article cf commerce— were treated in several statutes u a totally different sub stance from " spirits "—were rot expressly included under the definition of " spirits " in the statute on which the pro secution was founded—were commonly sold by chemists and druggists, and not by publicans under a beer sod spirit license, and that consequently they did not come within the meaning of the word " spirits " in that statute—and, there fore, that thejudgment should be for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittiass in Banco. WATSON, APPILLANT,o. COTTON, RESPONDENT.—Ra °TITRATION ArPSALS.—This was an appeal from the re vising barrister for the county of Worcester, and the case submitted to the court was es follows :—The voter, Wm. Cotton, claimed as the occupier of a wharf and shed, the latter being composed of upnght posts, died in the ground and covered by a tarpaulin roof, one of the sides being formed by the boundary of the wharf, and the other by deal boards nailed from post to poet. The question raised was, whether or not this was a " building" within the meaning of the 27th sec. of the 2 & 3 Will. IV., which gave persons a right to vote in respect of any house, oeunting.house, ware house, shop, or other building of a certain yearly value. The barrister decided that it was such a building as the act contemplated, and, therefore, allowed the vote.—Mr. Orey, on the part of the appellant, now submitted that that deci sion was wrong, inasmuch as the shed in question was not in any respect ejusdem generic with such buildings as were de scribed in the statute.—Mr. Setjeant Byles was pro ceeding to argue the case on the part of the respondent, when the court interrupted him by delivering judgment as follows The question left to the court to decide was, whe ther the shed described was • " building" within the mean ' log of the act of parliament. It was stated to be an erection formed by six posts and two sides, which were closed, and it had also a roof. The building was connected with the occu pation of the wharf, and was used, it appeared, for the pur pose of keeping wheelbarrows, shovels, coal baskets, and other articles that might be required for the business of the wharf. When, therefore, the shed was used, it must tie con aidered to be ejuedam generis with the buildings which the act contemplated under the denomination of warehouses. As a warehouse, it was used for the deposit of certain goods necessary for the enjoyment and employment of the wharf. The case found by the barrister further stated that one Mark. was allowed to keep things in the wild building. When, therefore, the court found that the revising barrister had held it to be a " building" within the meaning of the act, the court must suppose that every objection had been pot forward which suggested itself to the other aide. On the whole the court could see nothin; to prevent this being • building analogous to a warehouse connected with the enjoyment of the wharf. What the barrister had stated was quite consistent with its being so considered, and the court were of opinion that his decision was right, and must be affirmed.—Decision affirmed. _ WATSON, APPELLANT, P. PITT, RESPONDENT.—This was another appeal from the decision of the revising barrister (or Worcestershire, and the question was as to the sufficiency of the service of a notice of objection under the 17th rection of the 6 Vic., chap. 18. The case was argued at some length, but inasmuch as it appeared that the barrister had not so stated the fact. as to enable the judges to come to a satisfac tory conclusion, the court directed that the case should be remitted to the learned gentleman, in order that the grounds of the appeal might be more fully explained. Their lord ships expressed their regret that such a course should be necessary, not only on this but upon many other occasions. PRIOR, APPELLANT, O. WARING, RESPONDENT.—This was a consolidated appeal from the decision of the revising barrister for the borough of Lyme Regis.—Mr. Serjeant Biles, on behalf of the appellant, proceeded to explain that the property in respect of which the present claimante sought to maintain their right to vote consisted of a house which four gentlemen occupied conjointly.--The Court, in terrupting the learned counsel, observed that although this was a consolidated appeal, there would be great difficulty in dealing with it as one came. Each party concerned did not stand en one and the same position in reference to the case, and notwithstanding the revising barrister had acted with the laudable desire to NM expense, he had not stated the particulars in such a manner es to enable the court, within the 65th section of the act, " to give its judgmeat in law."— The mart, therefore, held that, inasmuch as the deficiency was not such as the parties could by law claim permission to amend, the case did not come within its jurisdiction. ONIONS O. BOWDLIIR.—This appeal was from the deal aion of the revising barrister for the borough of Shrewsbur7, and the question was, whether or not the barrister had power under the 40th section of the 6th Vic., chap. 18, to amend a certain entry in the list of voters. It appeared that the voter had sent in his qualification in these terms: "House is succession; residence, Butchers'-row." The voter was objected to on the ground that the description was not cor rectly given as a memoirs occupation, the claimant baring omitted to mention " Colcham," the name of the other place alluded to under the term " house in succession." The robing barrister refused to amend, and hence the pre sent appeal.—Mr. Whateley argued the case on the part of the appellant, and Mr. Kestink on behalf of the respondent. —The court held that the remising barrister bad no power to make the amendment. The power to correct was given by the 40th *action of the 6th Vie., which enacted that where certain matters had been insufficiently described or wholly omitted, and were afterwards supplied to the satisfac tion of the revising barrister, he might amend, provided that no evidence be given of any other qualification than that described in the list of voters. And it was also enacted that no alteration should be made by introducing a change in the description of the qualification as It appeared in the list, "except for the purpose of more clearly and accurately defining the same." , The claimant in this ease had described a house in succession in Butchers'-row, as his qualifying property, and the addi tion of " Colcham," as afterwards suggested, would hare been a substantial addition of some other premises, not in troduced for the purpose of " more clearly and accurately de &deg the house in Butehen'-row." On these grounds the court were of opinion that the revising barrister had no power to amend, and that therefore his decision must be affirmed. The appellant to pay the oats.—Decision affirmed. COURT. THIQUIIIN o. B.A74I;*:eiILUXDI/Li.-:CILOWN EITINT. —FAlLitill 01 TIM BRIDPORT BkNX.—This was an in quiry under a writ of extent to ascertain in what amount the defendants, banker at Bridport, Dorset, were indebted to the Crown for notes of their bank received in payment of I customs duties, but payment of which had been refused by the bank. The sum claimed was 951. —The learned com missioner, who opened the writ, said the only question for the jury was the amount in which the defendants were in debted.—The collector for the district was called, and proved receiving the notes, and presenting them for payment, when the defendants refused payment, on the ground that a fiat M bankruptcy had been opened against them that di in the Exeter Court of Bankruptcy, end they had been advised by their attorney not to pay the money due to the crown for duties—No one appeared to resist the proceeding, and the jury, under the direction of the learned commissioner, gave a verdict for 951. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. Beton Mr. Oommladoner Fonblanque. Its 111 S. B. MOODY.—ALLeOII) FRAM:I.—This bank rupt was an engineer, described as of Fencburch.atreet, and Demerara, and to-day was rpecially fixed for the certificate meeting. He was opposed b r Mr. Pontifex, a solicitor, on behalf of Messrs. Pontifex, of Shoe-lane. There were three points urged against the bankrupt, and the one of excessive expenditure was admitted. The second point, vie., of ob taining goods from the opposing creditor, was denied.—Mr. Pontifex said that there hail been three shipments of goods from kis clients to the bsnkrupt, who acted as their agent in working a sugar refining machine in the West Indies, and the fraud complained of took place on the second shipment, which was apparent to Mr. Edward Pontifex in the first instance upon the 2nd of January, 1847. On Moody's own showing, he admitted that he promised to pay for certain goods on the bills of lading being given up, and which having been given up, he called at Messrs. Poutifer's offices, saying that he would not pay, and there he re quired upon the last shipment of goods that the bills of lading should be given to one Porter. They lost twelve hundred pounds upon the transaction. The bankrupt had charged Messrs. Pontifex with doing the work improperly. Since the bankruptcy they had Bent out a man to the West Indies, et an expense of about 2001., to look at the whole of the machinery, and he said that it worked admirably, and that the whole of the difficulty arose in consequence of its being improperly fitted up by the bankrupt and his men. There were letters to prove these facts, which could he corroborated by the owner of the estates. These works were the subject of a patent, and it was now complained that Moody had actually got it manufactured elsewhere. He could prove these allegations.—Mr. Macon, for the bankrupt, said that it had not been proved that Messrs. Pontifex had received an injury by the transaction, and there fore it could not be • fraud. If he had intended to act fraudu lently, be could have disposed of the goods, and appropriated the looney to his own use ; but he had received nothing. Ilia client had acted honestly, bet was mistaken as to the views of Mows. l'oatifsa ; and there was no suggestio falai or suppresaio seri upon his part.—Mr. Commissioner Fon blanque remarked that where there were very large transac tions and dealings with all invention at a long distance off, be could not but imagine that failures would arise.— Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque inquired of Mr. l'ontifex what he could have done with the goods'—Mr. Pontifex answered that he wad have sold them all. The bankrupt °Wined his goods urn a promise which he did not fulfil, whisk was that ha eis old pay for them; and after this, regeiring mother fteamt of goods to be seat to Porter, it ovinied his (Pondl) as, and made hint think that his ends were bsdne dealt with by the bankrupt. Ho lost 1,2001 bp bill' of lading tram him. —Mr. Co shad what had batons of t et goods,—Mr. Pontlisx I f (er Z al ini al P ili k oss the banknipt's I Mil% af 10 bil IletWireporty THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1847. Commissicmer Fonblanque, in the oourse of as elaborate judgment, said • 1 sea in this case that in these transactions there have been a great deals( Irregutarity, souls misconduct (upon the part of the bankrupt), and some inisundentanding Moody, on his part, appear. to have taken xaggerated views both of the expectation of whit he might devise from this inventioo, and the lees which he supposed himself to sustain of the delay, &c., in the transmission of the machi nery to Demerara. At the end of 1848 Ido not fiud any impression upon the mind of Mr. Pontifex that be was being treated fraudulently; on the coatnuy, I find that for a loog period afterwards the bankrupt was treated as one who had an interest with him. After this, that Mr. Pontifex had a good deal of reason to complain, Ido not question. Taking the matter from January, 1847, I wait sm if there was actual fraud- —egidarity there was ; and after certain ship s Mood , insolvent, and no - is such a condi _ meat. _.ly WAS .- - EMU .ueh a tion has a right to enter into any contracts. Taking the bills of lading was clearly irregular. It does not appear to me that the bankrupt contemplated any gram hand. It is stated in this case that by reason of the bills of lading being made in the name of the bankrupt, the creditors have taken that which Mr. Pontifel claims. It is hard. I will not absolve the bankrupt front irregularity and miscon duct, but I cannot venture to say that he has been guilty of fraud. The next question is, whe ther the defence to the actioa was or was not justifiable. My belief is that a good defence could scarcely be made. I do not think that it was justifiable. The last point, the es pewee must be divided into two parts. It was necessary, is order ;hat this business should be carried on beneficially is the West Indies, that there should be a good force of sea and an agent The expense of the agent was excessive. TM individual expense. of the bankrupt amounted to no lea than 1001. a month, and the court cannot sanction such ex travagance. The certificate must be suspended for six months.—Costa allowed. IN 111 THE THING. RILADING, AND BAUM:MOIR RAIL WAT.—RAILWA Y BANK ILITPTCT.—ThiI wu a dividend meet ing in the matter of this company, who have been frequently before the court, and the meeting was adjourned ter two months at the expense of Mr. Event], who was solicitor to the company, in consequence of his not having bad sufficient time to get his bill of costs taxed. The company will even tually pay 20s. in the pound.—Mr. Lawrence attended for creditors. COURT OF EXCISE. _ _ Wore Admiral the Hon.ir.ll.Perey,ll7 r. fiephessoe, rag., and C. J. Harries, Ibit. A " DIALEIt tv FOILEIGN WINIA."—JONSOS Grier*, of 51, Lime-street, City, wholesale wine -merchant, was charged with having over his door the words, " James Grieve, licensed dealer in foreign wises," having no license what ever, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. When the case was called on, the defendant did not appear, either personally or by solicitor.—Two excise officers proved that the defendant possessed no license whatever.—The court immediately gave judgment against the defendant in the full penalty. CITY OF LONDON SMALL DEBTS COURT. Before Mr. Cokusisoloner Bullock. _ Roira F. PZAIUSON, M.P.—Tms LETS ELECTION.— In this ease the plaintiff sought to recover the sum of three guineas, for three days' work, from Mr. Charles Pearson, the City solicitor, and one of the members of par liament for the borough of Lambeth.—The plaintiff, upon being sworn, deposed that he had been engaged by the defendant as one of the canvassers. when the hon. gentleman was a cendidate to represent the borough of Lambeth; that be bad canvassed the electors, and had made repeated demands for the money, without avail.—Witnesses having been called, who spoke to having seen the plaintiff engaged during the contest on behalf of the defendant, and that he appeared to exert himself very much in favour of the hon. member, Mr. Pearson, in reply, said that he never had employed the plaintiff in the capacity of a canvasser ; that he never did, nor ever would, employ a paid canvasser. The plaintiff had been employed as ore of the messengers to one of his committee., and, for his three days' attend ance, a sovereign had been offered him, being the same amount paid to the other messengers. This amount the plaintiff had refused, and because he (Mr. Pearson) had not submitted to the imposition, the plaintiff I had written him some lettere, in which he threatened to use his influence at the next general election to oust him from the future representation of Lambeth.—Mr. Martin, one of the clerks in the City solicitor's office, deposed that the hon. member had no paid canvassers. They were all the hon. member's private friends.—The plaintiff said he was en gaged by Mr. Martin, which was the same as having been engaged by the hon. member.—Mr. Martin denied this statement. He believed that the plaintiff had been engaged as a messenger, and he had repeatedly offered him the same rate of payment as the other messengers had received. He could have that amount now if he thought proper.—The learned judge advised the plaintiff to submit to a nonsuit, and take the amount offered, which offer the plaintiff acceded to. COUNTY COURT. BEIGHTON O. HETHIIINGTON.-1.014D JED.921r13 ILLU MINATION.—In this cue the plaintiff summoned the de fondant for 101., (or the hire of lamps and work and labour done in illuminating the mansion of the Earl of Jersey on the occasion of her Majesty's birthday.—The plaintiff stated that the defendant formerly carried on business in Regent street with a gentleman named Docker, but subsequently be came a bankrupt. He (plaintiff) did business for both. At the time of the bankruptcy the defendant applied to him to do the illumination at the Earl of Inlay's ; but as he did not think it would be legal to do so, said he had no objection to open an account with the Earl of Jersey, and allow Heth nngton to take the money. He accordingly entered the earl as his creditor, and Hethrington received the money.—The learned judge said that under the present form of action he could not recover. It should be for money had and received by Hethrington for his use, and not for work and labour done and lamps supplied. He would ask plaintiff if it was usual to open accounts with gentlemen without any authority? —The plaintiff said he had the authority of Mr. Hethrington, who told him that he had authority from the Earl of Jersey to open the account.—The learned Judge ; If he gave Mr. Hethrington an authority to open en account for the illu mination at his mansion, he could never have given him an authority to order " the trimming of lamps at Miss Kelly's theatre" to be placed to his account. You ought, at all events, to have ascertained before crediting Lord Jersey at all In your books that ho had given Hethrington an autho rity.—Mr. Philp, who appeared for the defendant, said he had an answer to the case on the merits, if the judge would go into it—The learned Judge said he was bound by the act of parliament. The law required the nature of the demand to be stated on the summons, and he was precluded from receiving any evidence which had no connexion with it. It was imposaible to bring an action for one thing and give evideace In support of another. He must, therefore, noasuit the plaintiff, whom he would advise to consult an attorney before he came there again.—The plaintiff was then nonsuited, the judge ordering him to have a new sum mons free of expense. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT. Before D.l). Heath, Faq., lodge. LYON o. COCHRANE.—THE WESTMINSTER ELECTION. —This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, Charles Cochrane, Esq., the late candidate for Westminster, to recover the sum of 41. 16e. 6d., alleged to be due to him for expenses incurred during his services as canvasser, de., in the above election. The plaintiff stated that on the 29th of March last he waited upon Mr. Groveller (dace deceased), the defendant's authorised political agent, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, and was engaged to act as a canvasser at the weekly salary of 11. 10s., and payment of all incidental expenses. He commenced his duties on the 6th of April, receiving his salary every Saturday, when he gave in a written account of his expenses. On the 22nd of May be spoke to Mr. Thompson, Mrs Croucher's clerk, when that person told him that he had mislaid the bills, but that if he would make out an account be would lay it before Mr. Cochrane, and get it settled. He did so, but heard nothing of it, and one day, speaking to defendant on the subject, that' gentleman said ' Don't trouble me with those things, for the. are entirely in the hands of Mr. Croueher, who will mettle them." He still continued delivering his weekly bill of expenses tall the 19th of July, when the salary a the canvassers was increased to 31.35. per week ;and when witness then reminded him of what was due to him, he said that no more expenses would from that time be allowed which witness of course in consequence did not charge. He had since been unable to obtain a settlement, and once called upon the deftmlsnt at his residence, when he desired him to leave the house, referring him to Mr. Ribble, his then acting agent; but he thought it better at once to bring the question whe ther he was to be paid or not to an issue, and adopted the present proceeding.--T. Lancaster, who was called to prove Mr. Croucher's agency, said that he was engaged by that person as secretary to Saint John's district, and that on first seeing the plaintiff he told him the agreement he had made, which was as he had stated. He afterwards was at a meet ing called on behalf of Mr. Cochrane, at the Hanover-square Rooms, when Mr. Cochrane introduced Mr. Groveller to the ladies as his agent —A. Hubble, private secretary to the defendant, said that it was his father whom the p lalntif had spoken of as beisg referred to by defendant. Was present when he heard Mr. 1 hompson say he should not allow inci dental expenses to any one. Witness had seen plaintiffs accounts, which his father had disputed, and which were always destroyed by Mr. Thompson.—Mr. liod‘on, for the defendant, contended that no claim had been established, adding that Mr. Cochrane had paid in full all claims upon him.—His Honour observed that it was quite clear to him that plaintiff had been engaged by Mr. Croucher, who had been acknowledged by defendant as his acting agent, and the latter, although he must have known of plaintiff sending in his claim, bad let the canvassers know that such ex penses would not be allowed. lie considered him liable, and should decide against him.—Verdict for plaintiff.

AUOIR.—A SOLDIER NOT PROTECTED PROM THE OPELETION OP THE COUNTY COURTB.—The defendant, • private in the 2nd battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was brought up on a judgment summons for refusing to pay a debt of ss. and coats, believing himself to be protected from imprisonment. At the sitting of the court a month ago the defendant set the judge at defiance, and the judge adjourned the case to consult the acts, and see whether or not he could commit him to prison. —The plaintiff said that the defendant still refused to pay, and was supported in his resistance by the commanding officer of the tegument —Defendant said he would pay the debt, but not the costs, which were three times es much as the debt itself. The Judge: I shall con sider this as • criminal proceeding from which you are not protected, and send you to priers toe a week. Tell your commanding °filar that you en net protected.—The plain tiff and the defendant then quitted the teas; the fanner to get • warrant of committal whisk wadable the latter in due order.—The Judge caned the hahniast back, and said: Upon consideration of your me, I doll emit you immediately.

OUILDHALL.—ROIII3ERT or A CLEMK.—C. Putter, a clerk in the service of Mown. Morgan and Co., wholesale stationer, in Fartingdon•street, was charged with robbing his employer.—The prisoner, who has been in Messrs. Morgan" employ above seven years, sent the errant:l.l3°y oat on Wednesday morning with a ream of paper, weighing 261 b., telling him to take it to a Mr. Wright, of No. 57, Long -lane, and be sure to bring the money to him. The hut did aa he was desired, and banded the money he received (13.. 5d.) to the prisoner, who never accounted for it.—A man employed on the premises observed the prisoner sand. iug the boy out, and gave information to his muter, which resulted in his apprehension. The prisoner had no authority to send any paper out of the warehouse.—Remanded till Monday next. MAItYLSBONE. —Plate MOBBEaT.—T. Darts was charged with a robbery of plate at the residence of Mrs. Lower, No. 9, Southwick•place, Paddington.—On the some day, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the cook was going down the kitchen stairs, when the prisoner rushed by her and ran up the area steps ; ohs cried " Stop thief," and he was captured by a butcher in Oxford-mews, and held until the arrival of a policeman. Before his capture he threw a handkerchief containing the property into the area of 17, Southwick crescent, where the whole of it was found Some of the articles were plated, but upwards of fifty pieces consisting principally of spoons and forks, were silver.—The butler identified the property produced as belonging to his mistress. —The prisoner was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER.—TiIe MURDER AND ROBNART or BELLCNAIIII/168.—J. Mc Koy, T. Doyle, and Sale were reexamined, charged with the murder and robbery cf Mr. J. Bellchambera The clerk, Mr. W. Taylor, having read the evidence given on the 13th of October, Mr. Woolf said that the case which he had to submit to the thegistrate would be one of very strong circumstantial evidence. A murder of a most atrocious character had been committed in the heart of the metropolis, and the investigation in which he was about to erobask was therefore of the moat serious and important nature, as no person's life would be under protection it rich desperate outrages were not to on (Dego the strictest and mart searching inquiry.—Mr. 11. F. Holt made a post modem examination. The cause of death was a fracture of the bus of the skull, the corresponding situation to that before described as the cut on the temple. Upon dissecting, he found the fracture extending along the anterior basis of the skull, corresponding to the cut on the flesh, but the ftacture extended across both orbits. There was a email discoloration upon the anterior portion of the brain caused by a small piece of hone, detached from the skull, and very easily removed. In witness's opinion, from I the apuearanees, that could not be caused by a fall, and from the position in which he was found it must have been a blow. Such an instrument as the bolt produced would have caused such a wound.—Cross examined : It is parade that the deceased falling in drunkenness upon a high kerb might cause such a blow.—Re-examined From a tall there would be generally some discoloration round the wound. There was none in this case, but on incised wound. —Evidence was given to prove that Mr. Bellchambers was found at a quarter to six on the morning of the 11th in Wilton street, weltering in kis blood, within a few yard* of his own residence, 44, 'Wilton-street.—William Meyers said he saw a watch, money-bag, and silver snuff-box in posses sion of deceased when at his master's house, the King's Head, Orchard-street, Westminster. Sale was the per eon who asked hint whether he knew the old gentleman. —H. Bees was landlord of the King's Head. Knew Mr. Bellehambem lie came on the morning of the Ilth ult. He was sober. Sale and M'Koy were standing at the bar when he came in. Bellchambers wore his watch-chain and seals out of his pocket. He took out his snug'- box. M'Koy and Sale must have seen these articles. The witnesses, Bolt, Rogers, and Scale, were recalled, and ' proved that when Mr. Bellchambers was found he was with out his hat, which was not to be found.—T. Prougar, 74 B, on the morning of the 11th of October was on duty at Cooper street, Orchard-street, about five in the morning. It was sufficiently light to see to the corner of Pyc-street, where be saw the three prisoners, whom he well knew before, stand ing together. The three prisoners all saw hint, and went towards Struttoa-ground. Saw a gentleman leave the King's Head at about five minutes past five ; that was before he saw the prisoners. Saw the gentleman walk steadily up Orchard-street, and at that juncture of time the prisoners were at the corner of New Pye-strect, a few yards distance. Saw the three prisoner. follow the gentleman, and watched them up to the corner of Strutton-ground, upwards of 80 yards from the King's Head. Could not say which way the gentleman turned. Saw the prisoners turn , down Strutton-ground, Mr. Bellchembers's direct way home. ' The prisoners were waiting for at least a quarter of an hour at the corner of Pyratrect.—Cross-examiurd by Mr. Hines: At twenty minutes past four saw the prisoners turned out of the King's Head. Saw them at the corner of l'ye street. There was another with them at first, but he bad no plaid shawl on. Could distinctly see the prisoners from where he stood.--Knowlen, 56 B, also saw the prisoners about the same time—Mrs. Anne Bellchambers, the widow of the deceased, was put into the witness-box to prove that when he was brought home his pockets had been rifled of their contents, consisting of his cash-bag end watch. J. Price, of 51, Wilton-s*feet, Westminster: Os the morn leg of the 11th of October, about half-past five, was in my loft adjoining the house, when I heard some person say with an oath, " Knock him down," and directly heard a heavy fall. Then heard a heavy groan. Directly a ft er the fall I heard some one run away, and in about another minute some other person ran away. The first person had just run away when witness heard a signal, and then the other went away. Could not get out to ascertain what was the matter. There were two persons ; there were not more. The first was a heavy foot, the second a light one. Did net hear more than two. I thought there wee not more. I could not say p os itively.—Eliza Hughes, 14, Kensington-place, proved finding a heavy iron bolt (produced) in the front garden of her house. The bolt was eight or ten yards from where the blood was found.—Elizabeth Tuck, of 1, Union court, Orchard-street, said Sale lodged with her, and left on Tuesday without giving notice. Heard of Mr. Bellchambers' affair and saw the police about it. That was on the Wed nesday after he had left. (The bolt produced was planed in witness's hands.) That bolt resembled the one which se cured Sale's shutters. I missed the bolt, and have never seen it since. M'Koy knew Sale. lie visited him at wit ness's house. M'Koy boarded there with him.—Joseph Wright, 137 B: On the 13th Oct. took M'Koy's coat off that it might be examined. When he told him to take it off be said " You will very likely find some spots of blood upon it. I was fighting with an Irishman last night." There was a red spot on the sleeve ; I don't swear it is blood. —J. Bradley, 142 L, apprehended Sale. He said he would go quietly, but he made a bolt to get away. He resisted violently.—Sale: Why don't you tell the truth ? Didn't you hurt your linger hitting me over the bead with the hand cuffs I—Mr. Wolff said that that was the cue at present for the prosecution. Mr. Binns addressed the magistrate on behalf of Doyle. He said there was nothing to show that his client was implicated in the transaction The evidence et the ease went to show that there were only two persons engaged in the transaction, and he could produce a woman, but she was not then in attendance through illness, who would prove that when he was last seen, at five o'clock in the morning, be went home, and was in bed at the time the alleged assault took place.— It had been alleged as a prominent feature in the case that a cash-bag, snuff-box, &c., had been seen by the prisoners • but it was most extraordinary that the snuff-box bad not been taken. Mr. Burrell: It seems to me that the circumstantial evidence is rufficiently strong for me to commit the prisoners. With reference to the statement of Doyle being hereafter in a condition to prove an alibi, it is so neer in point of time as hardly to amount to an alibi at all. With respect to the observation that the snuff-box was not pur loined, they might have thought it not so easily to be dis posed of, or indeed in their halite, lest any one might pass and detect them, had not time to take it. Although it is my intention to commit the prisoners for trial, I shall re mand them again until next Thursday; indeed, I am not yet determined whether I shall not remand them over the next session ; as in a case of this very serious description I am desirous of giving as much time as possible, as some fur ther circumstances may come to light which will advance the ends of justice, and strengthen the cue already laid before me for the trosecution.—The prisoners were then removed. LAM BETlL—Coxvicrtow or AN INNOCENT PERBON.— J. W. Ward was charged with steeling a watch and chain, 'the property of his grandfather. The prisoner's mother, with her family, lived with the prosecutor, and had the watch in her possession en the 12th of last month, when • young woman, named Mary Ann Turpin, had tea with her. In the evening the watch was missed, and the girl Turpin charged with the theft. Mts. Ward stated that ahe had left it on the tray at tea time, and her daughter said she saw Turpin take up something from the tray and put it in her bosom. The girl was tried at the Central Criminal Court, convicted, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour, which sentence she is new undergoing. Last evening an uncle of the prisoner being at the mother's house, and being told that the prisoner had since the trial of Turpin stated to several persons that his mother had sworn falsely, and that the girl was innocent, said that the youth had stolen the watch himself, and sold it for 50s. through him, the uncle. Upon this information the mother immediately gave her eon into custody.—The uncle, 11. visnman, admitted that he knew, before the trial, the watch he sold was the one which Turpin was accused of stealing, but he did not know what to do about the matter, until last night, when ho heard of the accusations made by the pri soner against his mother. The prisoner said that he stole the watch out of spite to his grandfather, who treated him harshly, whilst he was kind to the other children.—Mr. Norton should direct measures to be taken to get back the watch, and to procure the liberation of the poor girl. In the meantime the prisoner should be remanded. CHAROB OP SWINDLINO.--R. Day MU re-examined, charged with being concerned, with J. Marmon and others, in carrying on a system of swindling.—Mr. It. Cockburn, a stone-mason, of Marlborough-street, Chelsea, deposed to having cubed two cheques, drawn and signed by the pri soner, for J. Marlon, who had been tried and convicted at the last Old Bailey session. After the cheques had been re fused at the banker's, there bring no effects there to meet them, witness saw the prisoner, who said he could not take them up then, but that as soon as they could " turn them selvesround" they shoald---BeruantGoff, who apprehended the prisoner, said that he had been to Mr. Doulton's, the potter, in Lambeth, to request his attendance, but he ex pressed • great disinclination to do so, observing that he had had such trouble and annoyance in attending for a whole week at the Old Bailey, to give evidence against Marion, that he did not wish ito have anything more to do in the matter.—A gentleman _p_resent hare remarked that he was personally aware that Mr. Doulten had, owiag to the want of souse propel system, been kept hanging about the Old Bailey as • witness in the sew of Maroon, and ha beard him rams.

Blake, soap manufacturers, for about 15,0001., and Messrs. ltickerby and Harding, corn and cotton merchants, for, it is said, 60,0001. Notwithstanding these casualties, the feeling on 'Change is firm. SAILKWISBUILY.—ADAMS and Co.'s BANK.—On Saturday evening last, a meeting of the creditors of this bank was held, the principal object of which was to petition the Bir mingham Bankruptcy Court to grant a commission, in order that debts may be proved in Shrewsbury, instead of incur ring an additional expense in attending at Birmingham for that purpose. A memorial was prepared and signod by the creditors, and afterwards presented to the commissioner of the Bankruptcy Court at Birmingham. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. PRODUCE.—MiNctmo•Lmer, Noy. 18.

The share market WWI extremely hetvy yesterday, ' and stock difficult to move, without wcri floa express his thorough disgust at the annoyance.—Mr. Norton observed that it was much to he regretted that prosecutors and witnesses were put to such extreme inconvenience; but still personal convenience could not, in • case of the present magnitude, be per mitted to defeat the ends of jostle.; and he (Mr. Nor ton) should, therefore, be under the necessity of compelling the attendance of Mr. Doulton.—A solicitor, who attended on behalf of the prlscner. submitted that if Mr. Doulton had been in attendance, there was nothing in his case that world criminally reach the prisoner. AU Mr. Day had done was merely verbally to guarantee the payment of some goods supplied by Mr. Doulton to Maroon, which guarantee was not as yet discharged. Again, as regarded the cheques pro duced, he apprehended nu case of and as respected them could be established against his client, who had merely over drawn his account titian bankers', a circumstance not unusual in the present times. —Mr. Norton : What, not an effenee to draw 30, 40, or 50 cheques on • banker after his deposit is exhausted ?—Solicitor : I can swear that the prisoner had an account at his hankers', and that he has • balance there still. —SergeantOoff here remarked that the balance to the priso ner's credit was five shillings; and since that balance had been struck, bills and cheques to a considerable amount had been presented at his bankers'.—Mr. Norton thought that, after hearing a letter found upon the prisoner, and in his own handwriting, read, he would change his opinion. The magistrate here read the following letter, which bore no di rectioa : Fir,—l waited at Um Plower Pot on Saturday last, from twelve to throe o'cloak, but did not are either you or Mr. N , and not having the means or satisfying the ooffechousekeeper, I had no alternative but seeking another abode. which I did by corning home at all risks. lem still there, and safe at lament.

THAMES.—ROBBLRY NY • BROKER'S MAN.—W. Roland, a broker's man, was re-examined, charged with stealing a quantity of furniture, the property of Mr. J. Dent. —The prosecutor had entered into au agreement with a per son named Nicholls, on the 14th of July, to rent the Prince of Wales public-house, in New Gravel-lane, Shulwell. A few days afterwards he sent in a quantity of furniture, and afterwards went over the house with an inventory. The prisoner was originally put in possession of the house by Mr. Dew, an auctioneer, of King Wiliam-street, and Nicholls continued him in possession after Mr. Dent had sent in his goods. Nicholls talk dto adnplete his agreement with Dent, who was never able to get the key from him. On the 10th instant the prosecutor forced his way in at one of the windows, and discovered that a quantity of the furniture, in cluding six chairs, seven blankets, and other articles, were missing. Oa Friday last he met the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The whole of the property was traced to various pawnbrokers, to whom it was pledged by a woman named Catherine Ramsey. who was employed by the pri soner to pawn the goods. He represented to her that the pro perty was his own.—The prisoner said be had given the du plicates to Nicholls.—lie wait:a:milted for trial. MONEY MARKET. THEE/MAY EVENING. After some purchases of Console this morning for the next account, by parties who were the large sellers yesterday for money and this account, by which the prices of yesterday were supported, and improved eaout the appearance of the Bank broker in the box as a seller of Reduced Three per Cents. caused a decline to 83; to 4. The sales, to the amount only of about 17,0001., were understood to be fur account of the Savings Banks. The quotations of Consols fluc tuated subsequently within the range of 1 per cent. to and again, but let off 83; to 4; for money and account at the regular close of busi ness. After the usual hour, Consols were said to be done from „ 1 to / per cent. lower. The market had a heavy aspect from the beginning of the day, and after the Bank broker had concluded his sales of Reduced Threes, some heavy parer Is of Consols were disposed of for account by the same parties who operated in the same direction yesterday, but were purchasers this morning for the next account with a view, as conjectured, to establish a certain rate of contango. Reduced Threes were last quoted, 821 to 5 .. Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., 841- to Long An nuities, 8 7-16 to 1. Exchequer Bills, Is. discount to Is. premium. Bank Stock, 187 to 9. India Stock, 232 to 4. There is no particularity to report in the foreign market, although the transactions were somewhat more numerous than usual. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 64 to 1 ; the Fours, 621 to 31. Russian, 105 to 7. Danish, 80 to 2. Spanish Fives, 161 tot ; the Threes, 27; tot ; Deferred, 91 to 101. Portuguese, 20 to 2. Mexican, 151 to 16. We have some failures reported to-day from Hull, Northumberland, and Durham; but, except to calls, they cannot be considered of much consideration. The failure or suspension of banks in the two coun ties is sufficient to account for these minor casual ties. There was a report of the stoppage of a house in the City, not, however, of any very high standing; which may probably be founded, but of which no cer tain advice could be procured. The same firm has, however, been spoken of more than once. The adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Fry, Gnffiths, and Co , took place to-day, at the offices of Mears. Quitter, Ball, Jay, and Crosbie, when the following resolutions were agreed to : That the creditors accept • mmpontion of 4s. in the pound, m ettle at 4, ft, 12, and 15 months, by equal Instalments. That the liquidation of the of and appropriation of the stets of the Arm, be conducted ander the inspection of Mr. Francis Chamber.. Mr. L. A.

Messrs. Bruyn and Sons, of Amsterdam, have written to complain that certain paragraphs under this head some days since, referring to mercantile affairs in Holland, appeared to refer to them.
