IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS..-WEDN MAY, Fn. 1& (Cosamod from yesterday's Express.) METROPOLITAN TURNPIKE ROADS. ------ - Mr. G. HARDY gave entice that on Friday next ha would aok for leave to introduce a bill to amend the law re to turnpike roads in the neighbourhood of the metro- PAL QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. HADFIELD moved the aeoond reading tithe bW. Mr. BAINES wooded the motion. Mr: TgER'DIKIATE said the hoe, member who moved the mooed reading of the bill seemed to think that the house ought to assent to the motion. ("Hear, hear," from members below the gangway on the ministerial side.) The boo. member thought he was so completely in pores • eon of the will of the house that the minority would not venture to stores, their opinion, but he seemed to have forgotten that last year the ball was only pseud by • small majority of 11 an that house, ind was re*ted by the House of Lords by a majority of 33. VIM did all this come to ? Hon. members opposite were carrying on a warfare against the House of Lords and the Church of England. Liberalism led them to pursue a strange course. Upon various occasions they took the most direct means to destroy the order of things as by law established. That might be political consistency—it might be progress in their sense—but it was a downward comae to the absolution' of democracy. He should not have thought, under the existing circumstances of the world, that this view would be so popular as it bad been, but, at the same time, boo . members on the other side of the hones were pledged to meet the convenience of the more absolute members of their constituencies ; they were pledged to carry out the decrees of intelligences far inferior to their own ' • and pledged, on certain questions, to vote as blindly as if they did not possess the talents and discretion which were known to exist amongst the majority of the house. This bill proposed to sweep away the Test and Cor poration Act, which required members of municipal corpo rations to declare, on their acceptance of office, that they would not use the power and infineuce that office conferred, in order to small, weaken, or spoliate the established church. That declaration bound no man in hie private capacity, or as as elector, or as a member of the house. But the bill went further, because it left any one bolding any office under the state to use the power he so acquired to attack the church. If this were not a direct attempt to introduce warfare between the several elements of the state, he did not know what deserved the name. He trusted the house would reconsider this subject, because the hon. member asked them to reverse the whole course of legisla tion for the last 32 years. The principal enactment the bill repealed, was contained in the Roman Catholic Relief Act, and the acts for the relief of Quakers and members of the Jewish Pervaosion. Bogging the house not to undervalue what they were now asked to do, the hoc. member am ended by moving, ea an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. The motion was seconded by Mr. Snvortr. The house then divided. The numbers were: For the second reading Against The announcement et the numbers was received with cheers. _ . The bill wee then reed a mond time. AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN BILL. Lord RAYNHLH, fa moving the second reeding of this bill, which, he said, was one of peat intpreienes, and had been repeatedly before the homes, examined his regret that it had not been taken up by asammore aids and experienced member. So much had been said as to the object of the measure in previcsta debates, that little remained to be added. The principle that these assaults no women sad children should be rapeseed bad been geoerally ac knowledged, end it was to be regretted that the house bad hitherto refused to sanction legialatimi for that purpose. It had before bees complained that the bill empowered magis trates to inflict corporal punishment for every one of these offeeces ; but while he still maintained that such punish ment was sad desirable for the castigation of all offenders of this ascription, in consideration of the feeling of the house on the subject he now proposed that corporal punishment should only be inflicted on the third conviction. He thought that public opinion was in favour of an alto ration in the law, and he trusted that honourable members who objected entirely to the introduction of flogging would agree to the second no:bag. and consider whether the other parts alight not have the effect of potting a stop to these offeeees. — Alderman SIDNEY thought the preseut law quite suffi cient to meet the case, and should therefore move that the mooed molls( be postponed for six months. Mr. BRISCOE eseonded the amendment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed — the bill, and re gretted that • subject which had so reently been decided by the house, should spin be brought under He consideration. The noble Iced when he brought forward the subject in 1861 was not so fortunate as to find • seconder, and there had certainly been no chance of circumstances, for the worse winos that time. On the contrary, the m cards of oar police offices showed • diminution in the number and gravity of the classes of crime with which the noble lord proposed to deal. Having analysed the provisions of the bill, and pointed out Its defects, the hon. and learned gentleman concluded by expressing his opinion that the hill would be rather • retrograde movement than an advance in the arrangement of the criminal law. He trusted the house would not consent to the second reading of the bm. Mr. BRNTINCK supported the bin. Far replied, sad the hoses divided the nosed reading 4 I Against The ham adjaerand at 4 o'clock. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

The company has been strengthened in every department, and Mr. Bond- Gault, with rare self-denial on the part of a manager who is so excellent an actor, has almost put himself on one side, to give them a fair chasm of making themselves prominent.

The Alhambra, though built by an amiable and unsuecossful company of schoolmasters, was evidently designed for acrobatic, performances. No other building in London can compete with it on this ground, and its pro prietor is wise to use it largely for these displays. The flying trapeze loses half its airy grace in any other theatre or concert-hall, and none of the old or new combinations of "lofty tumbling" have ever bad such a noble indoor space for exhibition in England, except at the Crystal Palace. Mr. Wilde, the energetic proprietor of this vast building, has added another novelty to his gymnastic programme in the shape of a young Belgian performer on the high swing ing -Mr. This gentleman goad by the name of Verrecko and his performance includes some of Olmic's feats, and some of those introduced by the Brothers Talliott.

Young Conrad is improving nightly on the flying traphe, promising soon to reach Leotard's standard of excellence; and all the performances--musical and gymnastic —seem to give great satisfaction to crowded &radiators.

DRAMATIC, EQUISTRIAN, AND MUSICAL SICK Finn) ABBOCIATION.—The 'breath anniversary festival of the Dramatic, Equerries, and Musket Sick Fund Associa tion was held at Willis's Rooms last night, under the chair manship of Mr. George Augustus Sala.

This Waa an alarmed sammons from the chambers of Via-Chancellor Kindendiry, which had been placed for hearing in his lordship'. paper. The object of the appeal was to have the name of Dr. Grady, the appellant, removed from the list of metributories for 25 shares in the company, when it had bees plead by the chief cleric in the Doane of the proceedings to win d up the concern. It appeared that Dr. Grady had been one of the medical referees of the company, and had ceased to be so in 1859, when he brought an action against the company for a sum exceeding 5004 ! A compromise was entered into, by which the company paid Dr. Grady a half-year's 'slay, gave him a promissory note for 1001., payable in six. mouths, and his shares were trans ferred to Mr. Sheridan. By the deed of settlement the company powered no power to purchase any shales from the holders, and therefore, if the shares of Dr. Grady had ban transferred, as contended by the official manager, to • Mr. Sheridan, me of dui managing directors, as the nominee and trustee of the company, Dr Grady wee still • share- Dokter, and laid.) as a contributory. For Dr. Grady, how ever, it was insisted that the shares were transferred to Mr. Sheridan personally, and not on behalf of the company, sod the books of the company and the register kept at the Joint Stock Companies' office were appealed to, in which the name of Mr. Sheridan was entered as the transferree of the shares, without any steamiest that he bad purchased them for the company. Mr. Roberts appeared for Dr. Grady ; Mr. Bally and Mr. Sendai for the official manager ; and Mr. &cabbala for the creditors' representative. The ere was partly argued on Saturday lest. The Lord Chancellor now delivered his opinion without hearing the appellant's counsel in reply, and add that it was for au ofSeiel manager to make out smelt a owe il ec iro li ginduce him to set aside the transfer of the shares to Sheridan. It was pert of the arrangement with Dr. Grady that his shares should be transferred to Maiden. It was urged that this *alder was made to Sheridan as the nominee of the company, and the transfer was actually to the company. The fact that the transfer was made to the company, and not to Sheridan individually, it was said was well known to Dr. Grady at the time, and the terms of the compromise wee cited as proof of that knowledge. Dr. Grady had, however, sworn that the transfer was made , to Sheridan personally, and that Sheridan, in order to induce him to consent to the compromise, aid he would take the shares off his bank Sheridan bad not deeded this state. meet on affidavit, and he (the Lord Chancellor) would not therefore lay that Dr. Cindy's statement was untrue ; but even su that the shares had been bought for the com pany, was nothing to prevent such a transaction being valid, provided certain formilities were observed, namely, the soquemenos in the purchase by the shareholders in general. The question in this case was whether the court mold assume knowledge and acquiescence in the purchase, on behalf of the company, by the shareholders, after a lapse of more than two yeah from the time of the transfer. If an act was done by • company which they had no power to do, no length of aoquieecenoe could make that good which was void in the first instance, but after • lapse of time it might be assumed that certain formalities had been complied with *make a transaction valid which would not be so without the aid of such formalities. In this use all that was required to make • purchase by the company of duns valid was the sanction of the general body of shareholders. and the court had a right to assume such acq after it had bear shown that every thing had been to bring the *enaction before the shareholders. The transfer of the shares to Sheridan was duly entered and re-entered on the books of the company ; his name was returned as the holder of the twenty-eight shares to the registration office, and had re mained on the register down to the time of the order for winding up. Everything had been done to bring the trans action to the knowledge of the shareholders, and the court would assume after • period of more than two year that the shareholders had acquiesced in the purchase, which was all that was required to make it valid. The name of Dr. Grady must be removed from the list of contributories, and the question of costs remitted to the Vice Chancellor. EX TARTE um RE EICHOLIION.—BANIREPTCT. This was an appeal from an order of Mr. Commissioner Cadburys rejecting • proof against the estate of the bank rupt. It appeared that a Mr. Rider was a woollen merchant at Leeds, and was fa the habit of dealing with a firm in London defied Nicholson, Pascal, and Stone. In the early part of the year 1861 he sold that firm goods to the amount of 1,4001., which were paid for by bilk at four months, accepted by the firm. In March, 1861, Pascal withdrew from the firm, which continued to carry on buboes in the name of Nicholson and Stone, who subsequently sold goods to Rider to the amount of 3831., sod they wished him to swept bills for the amount. He declined at first to do so while the former bills were running ; but as they undertook to pay three of the bills accepted by the firm of three partners, when due, Rider "greed, and took bills for 3001. On the 16th May Nicholson and Stone became bankrupt, and Pascal wan subsequently included in the bankruptcy. The bills for 1,4001. had been discounted for Rider by the by the Leeds Banking Company, who held them at the time of the bankruptcy, and they only bad a right to prove against the estate of the firm of Nicholson, Pascal, and Stone, and they did so. They also proved on two other bills dis counted by them for one Teals, of an exactly similar des cription to those of Rider. Teals took the bills out of the hands of the banking Company, and applied success fully to have their proof reduced by that amount, and was allowed power for the amount against the estate of Nicholson and Stone. Rider then applied that the proof of the banking company should be wholly expunged, and • proof by himself instituted, which was done, and he sought to prove for his debt against the estate of Nicholson and Stone only, which was not allowed by the commissioner, who refuted the proof. Hence the present appeal. The e themselves was whether the firm of two bad taken on the liability of the firm of three. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Swanston were for the appeal ; Mr. Daniel and Mr. Bagley on the other side. The Lord Chancellor smii that the question in this case depeededom whether' letter which had been written to Rider, Idaho( that all the liabilities of the old firm would be paid by the new one, was a new contract or a reiteration of former general lasuranees of payment. After a full examination of the documents and transactions he stated that he was of opinion that there was no new contract, but only • repeti tion of the previous statements. The appeal would be dis missed with costa. (Before Viee-Cliancellor Sir B. T. Bindersley.) THE TM= wamtaxci OOMPAlll.—nirnow roa wurrima UP. Mr. J. N.

LANCASHIRE AND YOKKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors for the transaction of the ordinary business of this company was held at the board-room, Manchester, yesterday. There was only • moderate attendance. Mr. J.

He could assure them that the board would be very glad to save all the expenses they could, but it was nacos nary to take these powers as a matter of form. The CHLEILIIAZI then moved the usual dividends on pre ference and ether stock, and 2 pw mat. on the ordinary stock foe the half-year, payable 2nd of March. Mr. ANDUe seconded the motion, and expressed a hope, from the state of the traffic, that next half year, instead of paying a dividend of 4 per cent. per annum, they should be able topay 44 percent.

Aftor Torun Sittrop at Nisi Prom at Guildhall.—{Before Lord Chief Justin Cockburn soda Special Jury.) XLAS V. CI.ARIEBON. Thl was an action of an unusual &ander. The de elaration stated that the plaintiff agreed to let the defendant, Miss Sophie Clarksoc,• pair of ponies , aid be complaine d lot the defendant's having treated them negligently, over driven them, sad underfed them, whereby they had been seriously injured and deteriorate d in value. The defendant denied the allegation contained in the declaration. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Mennen, were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Brett, Q.C., and another learned gent/emu were for the defendant. The plaintiff is a corn merchant and hone-dealer, carrying on Weiner in High-street, Borough, and the defendant, Mies Sophia Clarkson, is a lady of fortune, residing at the Paragon, Brides-kith and occa sioully in Doctor,-conanioes. The plaintiff had for some years supplied thedefendant with horses, and no complaint was made on either side till about two years alb when it was alleged by the plaintiff the defendant &used her coachman. From that time horses had been eonunually returned and changed, and complaints made that they had been injured. On the 16th May, 1862, they 'stared into a written agreement whereby the plaintiff undertook to pro- vide, whenever required, two good, gekst, serviceable car riage horses, not lees than 13 high, and to change them when required. The plaintiff was oleo to And stabling, food, ha., mid the defendant agreed to pay him 1201. per annum for their we. In August and fiept.,lB62, the plaintiff took the horses to Eastbourne, and it was whilst there the alleged over-driving, neglect, and under.feeding took pl ac e. One of the bones came beck in such a wretched state that it could hardly walk into the yard, and it was doubtful if it would ever recover. The other was in a wretched state, though not quite so bad. A correspondence took place between the parties. The plaintiff complained of the condition of the horses, and said rt would be useless for him to let her have others unless proper care were taken of them, and asking to put an end to the contract. The de fendaat was indignant at the charge of cruelty made against her, and said she should claim compensation for the breach of contract, and expect to be paid for the fodder she pro vided whilst out of town. The defendant, it was contended, bad not used that doe and reasonable care she was bound to use whilst the horses were in her possession. The question for the }my was what amount of damson the plaintiff wee en titled to for the injury sustained by the bones. Thew. the plaintiff's manager:, deposed that he first supplied the defendant with a brougham horse in 1865. Om the 16th of September the dsfiedmit's coachman brought back ons of the harem. Tbe bone was hi a wretched state. Witham asked his. what was the malts with the bons. The coachman said it had been worked hard, and witness replied. " and half starved." The coachman said the hem bad bad four feeds a dayit pottle at a time, which was little more than one-half the plaintiff gave his horses daffy. The horse had seven potties a day when ►t home. The here* was poor and completely toed up, and could soared, walk. When the plaintiff first bad it it was in good working con dition. The other horse was brought home the same day. The two home were worth 501., but when they cams home they were not worth 141. In he said the defendant had en one or two occasions before taken horses with her when she went to the sea-side. The coachman did not complain of the home jibbing. He said he could not get it to move—that it would not draw down bill. (laughter.) By Mr. Brett--Did he tell you it would net draw up hill? Witness—No ; and I bad no occasion to uk him. Mr. Richard Evans, veterinary surgeoe, Great Dover. street, Borough, said the first horse brought home was in • shocking state. The coachman said he could not help it. The horse had been worked herd. The roads were sandy and heavy, sad the corn allowed in the stable* away from London was not sufficient. Witness went by the plaintiff's direction to Brixton, and saw the other hone. She was unfit for work, and he ordered her home. The otachman said the horses had been worked hard and he could not get them along. He said be was obliged to go where his mistress ordered him, and he sometimes drove between 30 and 40 miles after dinner. Be attended them for • fortnight or three weeks. Thor were not worth 1110 r• then 154 whoa they were retsn They had since recovered, sad were now worth shout 40i In witness said the drat hors* would hardly carry its harness, and he did not wonder at it. jibbing. (Laughter.) Other evidence was given in support of the plaintiff's we. The defence I! 11J that the hones were properly fed and used, end the carriage used was the same as had been used for one horse. The horses were two days going to East bourne. The brougham was a very light one. Miss Clark son and the housekeeper rode inside, and the only luggage they bad was a carpet bag and a portmanteau. The ~limn was cabled, and deposed that the hones IMO fed twice on the road, as well as morning and night, and that at Sesforth and Eastbourne they had six feeds a day. The borne were lot overdriven. and they were pro perly treated. After they got to Eastbourne they were not driven more than 12 mils eider. The hones wen in poor condition when the defendant bad them. One of them jibbed, and he informed the plaintiff of it. When the de fendant came home the jibber was taken to the plaintiff and &eked to be changed, bathe declined to gin him any other than a lame hone. The veterinary napes mid the horses only wanted nursing and a der or twe's rest. The horses were returned in better condition than when he re calved them. He denied the convemations deposed to by the plaintiff's witnesses. in cress-examination be mid be bad been rather more than two years in the defendant's maim paring that time he bad bad seven horses, incladin; the pair in question. They were in good working condition when they returned to London. Bvidence was called to prove the qtuintity of corn, ha., paid for by Mr Clarkson, and that it was given to the horses. Every attention was paid to them by the defendant's coachman. They were very poor horses. and witnesses laid they were the worst that had ever been seen in Seaforth and Eastbourne. OM wits= mid he would not have given 201. for them. The evidence wee of the usually conflicting character in these cases, and ultimately the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Jardine Blackburn and Common Juries.) .1 YYTILEY V. ITSVINSON. This was a n action on a promissory note for 1001. The defendant resides at CatiwW and pleaded that the note was given by the defendant's wife before her marriage in June, 1861, to ons Allen, a relative, who bad consented to become security for that amount as part of the purchase money for • spirit business. The security, however, wee not required, and Allen told them the note bad been lost or destroyed. Allen afterwards became insolvent, and bad absconded. It was contended that the note had bees im. property retained by Allen, and that there had been no con sideration given by the plaintiff. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. H. James, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Manisty, Q.C., for the defendant. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

Mr. Serjeant Mee and Mr. Philbrick appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Moral, Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Cohen for the defendnots, The plaintiff, a Jew, had carried on business as a feather merchant, at 128, Cannon-street-road, since August, 1860—hi' mother, and previously his father, having ban in businen upon the same premises for some years. The policy in question was effected on the 19th Feb., 1861, and the fire happened on the 25th May, 1862. The trial occupied two days, a great deal of evidence in reference to the plaintiff's stock, where it was placed upon the premises, the remains found after the fire, and other matters, being given, The jury, after considering the matter for an hour, found a verdict for the plaintiff for 50/.

Wore tha Julio Ordinary.) 1110111410 N AND NM V. TIDDIAIf AND 01111:1111 CITED TO Lai PROCLIDINGS. (Concluded from yeeterday'a Express.) The defendant 011ard and several other witnesses won examined, and they all deposed with great positivism to the sanity of the testator. Sir R. Phillimore admitted that there wee no evidence of undue influence, but it was clear that the testator's memory mast have wholly failed him, otherwise he could never have made so important a champ in the disposition of his pro perty as he had done in the form of a mere codicil. It wee clear that the iotentioo of the deceased was merely to give Mr. 011ard a legacy, sad he had all along gone upon the assumption that the codicil would confirm the will; whereas it wholly destroyed it. Mr. Grey and Mr. Collins (the regular attorney of the deceased) were called, and they showed, amongst other things, that though a person of very methodical character, the testator bad for the last month omitted to open his letters, and for the last ten days had ceased to keep his diary. The jury found in favour of the codicil, and The Court decreed probate, with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Fu. 18. (Before Mr. Oomsainioser Holroyd.) 124 II T. W. younoauswax—ClLlLlGE OF BREACH OF TRUBT.—arrow. or DUICHARGR. The bankrupt VW described es a solicitor, late of Brighton, and since a Furman in Lewes Gaol ; but it appeared that be had previously been in practice is London, having offices in Bishopagate-street. This was the sitting for order of discharge. The liabilities are 6,0001. ; no assts. Before the noes was gene into, Mr. flugood, who appeared for the bankrupt, offered on his part to est 'wide 200/. a year out of his fature earnings, if the opposition were oot preened, but this offer was not accepted. Mr. Linklater opposed for a creditor. The bankrupt, is his capacity of solicitor, bad received I,IOW. from Miss B e r u il ette, of St. John's-wood, for the purpose of being in. v on reid security. He represented to her that he had dose so, end had taken a mortgage on some property at Bayswater. It turned out that be had applied it to his own use, and it was asked that the order of discharge should be wholly refused. Before the bankrupt INN examined, Mr. Sergood submitted that the case did not come within the 159th mediae, the debt having bees contracted when the bankrupt received the money some years ago, and when by the very fact of receiving it he had the means of repaying it. He Honour thought that the offence baying been cont. mitkd before the new act came into operation only r e li eve d the bankrupt from criminal proceedings under that act, and did not prevent the court from suspending the order of dis charge. The bankrupt, being examined, said he was bankrupt about 1837. He was made bankrupt as a director of an asphalte and bitumen company. In 1858 he was a solicitor, and was also engaged in various speculations, one with Mr. John Gaudell for supplying coal to Italy. Gaudell was the person who was largely indebted to Mammas. &Mm, Paul, and Bates. the bankers. Had heard. before 1858, that he was indebted to them upwards of 100,00 W., and that Gan da and Co. themselves were in insolvent circumetamma. Grids]] bad been bankrupt in Fiance before that. A person named Dapper bad owed him money since 1854. Deeper bad since been in the Bench. In January, 1853, Caudell owed him 3071. Had received some of that money. Dappet's debt had turned out bad. Had lost between 1,5004 and 2.0001. by him. Several tabard his debtors, including Colonel Fancourt, Mr. Anstey, end Mr. Stooehouse, had turned out bad, u had most of the shares which he held; they had principally resulted in calla. Did not consider that Le was insolvent io 1857. He was still liable on bills then given. In May, 1858. Mira aualltett• wls frOdlnif under his roof, sad asked him to sell out of the funds 1,1581. which she held is Consols. She asked if he could find her a better investment, and he seal he could find her • mortgage at five per cent. He sold out the Consols, re ceived 1,1281., and told Hiss Bandrtte that he had invested it oa mortgage at five per amt. That repreeentaticio was untrue as to all but 2001. He wrote to her on the Nat May, stating that 5001. was ievested on yropssiy in the Hall. Bayswater, and 6001. on deposit of ti el at Finehley, and that tits &ode anddociaments we ll e g :e sited at his bankers, in a tin bog beari ng her name. vas untrue. He had need the mosey fee p at his own, and lent it to other pee*. Had paid Mies Budget% interest halflearly. Mr. Linklater read a letter from the banhcopt to Kiss Basalgette, in which he proposed to give, with Mr. Gaudin, • joint bond for 1,1001. The bankrupt said the bond for 1,1001. was sent, together with s mortgage seduity for 2001. The bond was returned. After seedier that letter he remained in Paris Ile re- IIIIIIII•11 in Lewes gaol from June to August. ifies Basal. get% bad lost her 9001., but it was his intention to pay. Mr.Unklater urged, that instead of protecting the y oung lely the bankrupt had abused the confidence reposed in him se an attorney. He had been guilty of deliberate me. representation. Mr. Sargood urged that Miss Bazalgette had condoned the breach of trust by emoting a bond for the amount. She bad known for three years of the irregularity of the traemotion, and had treated the matter all along as • debt, sad thecoart was consequently disabled from looking at the transeetion in any other light. He Honour did not think that there bad been any coo. denten. Miss Baralgette had carefully guarded herself against that, and it had been expressly decided that the receiving of interest in respect of the money misappropreted was not • condonation. (See Hap. Selby, 6, He Otx and Norton.) Theprovisso at the end of the 159th section relieved the bankrupt from liability to imprisonment. Whether the offence wee committed on the receipt of the money or its misappropriation was immaterial, as both were long before the passing of the new act. But taking into consideration the circumstances under which the debt had been contracted, as the court was required to do, and the misrepresentation' which bad been made by the bankrupt after receiving the money, it was clear that he had no means of repaying that debt when required to do so. There were also circumstances of aggravation : the bankrupt was • solicitor ; the lady was living under his roof ; and he had represented to her that he Gould procure her better interest. When the imposition was detected be had offered the joint bond of himself sad Goodell, who was in as bad • position as himself. The cane was of such • grave nature that the court was bound to visit it with the Wooed severity, and to withhold the order of discharge altogether. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL.
