The plaintiff in this case is a worker in iron and brass at Manchester, and the defendant le a tailor end draper at Bangor, in Curnarvonshire. The action was brought to recover 28!.10s. ter goods supplied to the Allt-y-crib Mining Company, and used in the mining operations. The defen dust pleadel that he was never indebted. It was stated that the mine in question was a silver and lead mine of um' antiquity, and was situated about seven miles from Aberystwith. In the year 18.50, the property got into the bands of four persons, whe divided it into 1,248 scrip shares, of which each of them took 312. When about 11. pc r share had been laid out upon the property the defendant bought one strip share for 51., and it was under stood that the scrip was to be exchanged for shares, " sub ject to the rules and regulation of the cm: book of the proprietary." These rules and ,regulations were not pro duced, and there was no circumstance of importance against the defendant except that he had taken this scrip share. Mr: &leant Byles submitted to his lordship that there wu no evidence to go to the jury to affect the defendant, and therefore that there must be a nonsuit. Mr. Justice Crewe,ll was of opinion that there might be some evidence. and he should therefore leave the case to the jury for their consideration. The jury at ono, found a verdict for the defendant. MOCNT e. VAN BCTCHALL AND ANOTAIR. ACTION AGAINST Du/ACTON/ TOIL TAN 81C/LATART'S SALARY. The plaintiff in this cm wee fersurly seenvy to the Sewage Guano Company ; and he owed the as two of the director' of that eseases. W mem ISM for six months' services es eseretary. The defendants peed M. into court, and se to the remainder of the claim they denied their liability. The plaintiff's ease was, that about the end of March in last year he was engaged for six months certain, and the salary was to be at the rate of 2001. a year. He acted as secretary down to July, when disputes and quarrels arose among the directors, and they were separated into two hostile bodies. In the early part of July a meeting of per sous connected with the company was held, but only one director remained, two other directors having protested against the meeting, and left the room. Oa this maim, however, it was determined to dismiss the secretary, and also the chairman of the company, and the ofßces were afterwards shut up and locked. The directors who were locked out, however, held meeting, at their solicitors and elsewhere, and the plaintiff attended times meetings, and acted as secretary down to the 14th October, when the books and funds of the old compasy were by arrange- mint handed over to a new company. It was not' conclusively proved that the plaintiff was engaged for six menthe certain at the rate of 1001. a year salary, but some of his witnesses mid that that was only a fair recompense for his services. On the other side, it was denied that there had been any arrangement as to term or time of service, and it was said the work done by the plaintiff was not worth the amount claimed for it. Beyond this it was contended that the plaintiff had teen dismissed in July, and, therefore, that the amount paid into court covered hie claim spinet the company. His Lordship directed the jury that if they were of opi nion that the plaintiff had not been properly dismissed in July then the only question for them would be whether the sem paid into court was sufficient to pay the plaintiff for his services from the time of his engagement down to October. 111ejary immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff for 601. beyond the sem paid into covet. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-YESTERDAY. trrnias £T NiM PAM. HAMM Ni. BARAN rmixs aim • BPSCIAL JUST. TEN ATTORNIT-GENNIUL V. COURT AND OREMLII.- This ins an hiforeaatlon by the instance of the Beard of Inland Revenue, for the publica tion of • weekly periodical called, the Patterim Plus Press without the newspaper stamp. The Attorney-Oeneral and Mr. Phinn appeared for the Crown, and the defendant Mr. Collet Dobson Collet de fended himself in person. The Attorney-Oeneral, in opening the case for the prose cution, said that the defendant was a teacher of dud g, and held the appointment of secretary to on mineeie erp nised for the purpose of removing the tense you know ledge. He did not object to persons comblehis to endea vour' by legal sums, to obtain the repeal sir that which they believed le be se eldest law; bat he Semple sod that the defendant, Monad et Malden Ms energises le obtain a change in the law, bed taken upon bloat to 'Mkt* the law. The subject of unstuoped publications led been be fore the Court of Exchequer on a foram mensien, and the construction then put upon the act 6 and 7 WU. IV. cap. 78, had led to the belief that the stetter might be violated with impunity. A section of that stellate oeseted that every publication containing public amen, intellinsene. sr Seem ream, or comments upon news or eseneumass. should be taken to be a newspaper. By the 17th soden, a penalty of 2W. was imposed upon any person who should print and publish any newspaper, orlpaper not duly stamped accord ing to law. The schedules annexed to the act defined what were to be considered newspapers • but a question had arisen lately, whether the thud part ; of the schedule super seded or absorbed the first ; and it was held, in the OM of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, that, supposing a paper not published within the interval of 28 daze, was within the first clause of the schedule, but not within the third, it might be exempt from the stamp. He did not, however, see how the decision of the Court in that cue could affect the present, for the Potteries Free Press was within tho first and third clauses of the schedule. It was of the sin which made it liable to the stamp duty ; it was published, not at intervals exceeding 28 days, but every week ; and it contained advertisements, news, and comments upon news. The title of the publication was, TA. Potteries tree Press and Weakly Narrative of Cwrreist Events. The three numbers which would be produced contained various articles and reports of proceedings in parliament ; and he could not see upon what pretext the defendant could escape from the payment of the stamp. Whatever opinion the public might enter tain as to the advisability of taking off the stamp duty on It was not for any individual to set himself up re ll =red the law. There having been some difficulty es loft the bleatity of Mr. Collet, of Stoke-upon-Trent, flits 818 mer was p•Mished, with Mr. Collet of London, sedisige were, is the first butane., taken before Mr. at How nYsss elbs, against a person who bad nil paper In UM= g end the result was a conviction. The defeadant this wed primly avowed himself to be the =l: r, ide readiness to suspend the pub -1: tie = VMS the Court of Exchequer should deilM _ e lanlaw. He was adorned that the delete be see the Builder, the Atheneum, and the Art Aismud. end dasher publications, were allowed to pub- Usk maids, et sews without a stamp. But even admitting that tile um or it did not follow as a consequence that the defending Mesjetelfied in violating the law. It might be that the peibtions in question were liable to the stamp, but the Booed of Inland Revenue had taken a liberal view of the law in not pressing for the stamp, as so much doubt existed on the subject. In this ease, however, there could be no doubt of the liabilty of the paper in question, as it contained every element of a newspaper. Numbers of the paper of the 12th, 18th, and 26th of Feb. last were put in ; and this closed the ease for the prose cution. The defendant then addressed the court and jury, con tending that the Potteries Free Press came within the same category as the Builder, the Atheneum, the Family Herald, and similar publications, which were allowed to publish news without a stamp. He also referred to the case of the " Attorney-Oeneral v. Hetherington," tried in the Court of Exchequer some yean ego, in which Lord Lynd hurst said the Poor Alan's Friend was a meagre affair," and advised the jury not to find the defendant guilty. The Potteries Free Press was also a "meagre affair," as com pared with other publications in the district, and ought by the same rule to be exempt. It was published at a penny, and was a clam paper, 'mamma as it circulated among the working men of the district. The Poor Man', Friend contained the King's Speech, and other articles of news, and yet that was exempted from the damp. Mr. Baron Parke said that Lord Lyndhurst did not express an opinion as to the liability of Hetherington's paper; bat merely said it was a " meagre affair," there Ming an information against him at the same time for pub lishing another paper of a more important character. The decision be Hetherington's case, or any other eue, was a matter of but little consequence, as the questlim here would entirely tarn upon the construction of the act of parlia ment. The &diffident then contended that, as he had complied mitt the teems et the Ha eastioa, mai sesta copy of the th s as em p e ike ; entitled to notice Simm;s4l • THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 14, 1853. Mr. Baron Parke laid that section only applied to persons being themselves printers. The defeirdent urged that as he hired the type and the printing press, he was to be considered a printer within the meaning of the act—qui Grit per alias facie per it. Ile ought to have been told a: the Stamp-office that Mr. Turner, the printer of the publication, should have given notice in. stead of himself. The defendant then called acme officers of the StunpoMee to prove that he had applied there, stating hie desire to comply with the 24th section of the act ; and also that he had written • letter with the first number of the paper requesting, if he was acting contrary to law, that notice should be given to his solicitors, Masers. Aeburet and 800. Mr. Keogh, one of the secretaries to the Board of Inland Revenue, was called to prove the latter fact, and said that the defendant kid defied the board in the Ant number of his publication. The Attorney-General having replied, Mr. Baron Parke told the jury that there could be no doubt the defendant had violated the act. The jury found a verdict for the crown fur three penalties of 2UI. each. Mr. Phials said the only object was to try the question, and the crown would not eaforce4he penalties. Mr. Baron Parke—You must in future publish the paper with a stamp. Mr. Collet—That would be impossible, my lord. I must discontinue it altogether. I bow to the decision of this court ; but was not satisfied with the opinion of any inferior authority. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-YESTERDAL gsroaa Ma. Onociewomea Vera. Ix us Caw Am) Casty. The bankrupts, father and eon, were livery-stable keepers, of Little Moorfields. This was the certificate meeting. The accounts extended over 16 months prior to the failure I. January last, and showed a ram of 4,4411. due to unsecured creditors, with assets calculated to yield about 9,0001. The profits had been 5,3891. ; trade expenses, ; bores, 2,2081. ; part ners' drawings, 1,0061. ; defi=ency on the 30th of Sept., 1851, 9371. Mr. Cooke opposed for a creditor, on the ground that the bankrupts had been in a deficiency at the commencement:of their accounts, and that their trading sinoe came under the denomination of reckless trading. Mr. J. Hudson supported. His.Honour said he could not recognise the doctrine that, became a man was defloient a few hundred pounds, he was to throw himself on his back, and do nothing to obtain a living. Mr. Cooke then relied on the as of an individual ere ditor, Mr. Ogilby, from Whom the bankrupts had purchased 80 quarters of oats three weeks before the bankruptcy, but they bad returned 30 quarters. Mr. Ogilby had given a month's credit, and on going to get an acceptance was told by the son that they had failed. His Honour granted immediate certificates of the first clan. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.—YISTEILDAY. Bzvou me Loss Cans horns Amp Mi. /LION AU3III/COl. Thomas Hackett, 30, labourer, was indicted for the wilful murder of Eliza Lea, by drowning. It will be recollected that at the last sittings of this court the prisoner was tried for this offence, and the jury were locked up to consider their verdict, but on. of them being takes dangerously ill, they were all discharged without coming to any decision, and the primmer was left for trial at them swims. The ffeblemee against the primer this day did not differ from that glen a knee excels, and was purely of a cireammtemllel daraeter. The phew and the deceased had lived together, but at the time of this occurrence were separated, the prisoner either living with or being married Se omether woman, and the deceased was living with her seedme origgerting herself by going out ironing. On Jaw $l, her leather gave her hat a-sovereign to buy some &miry seeds with, and she left home in the elbseseem for that purpose. She shortly afterwards went with a Mrs. Hermitage, whose husband had been • fellow-workman of prisoner's, to try to Clad whirs prinoner was at work, and after some time susemiled, led pdesur end the two women left together wad had 1111011. ft to drink at several public-houses, which demised geid for, and they finally went to Mrs. Her. mimeo home, where the prisoner and deceased sang songs toiri about ten o'clock they left together, and about eleven IMO one in the garden of the Regalia public-house, POrtlead-town, which abuts upon the Regent's-canal, 'heard a gurgling sound and splashing, as though:some one was in the water. He inatantlygave the alarm, and with the landlord ran down a passage by the side of the house leading to the towing path of the canal. In this passage they met a man carrying a small bundle and walking some what fast. The man in height and dress resembled the pri soner, and in answer to them said that some one had either fallen or thrown themselves into the canal. He was requested to come beck and render assistance ; he came back, but instantly left, and was met by the policeman hurriedly leaving the spot. The night being very dark and foggy, and the splashing and all noise having ceased, a light waspromired, sod something being discovered in the water a rope was thrown over it, and it was got out, and proved to be the body of deceased ; every means were resorted to to restore life, but without effect. Upon examining the body no marks of violence were observable. Whoa the Wins found the prisoner the next day, and told him what he was charged with he dropped his head upon his breast, and for some time made no reply, but suddenly rousing from his dejected state, said, I shall be able to clear myself. At his lodgings were found the things which deceased had bought the previous day, excepting one portion, which prisoner's wife bad pawned that morning. Mr. Parry, in a most eloquent and forcible appeal to the jury, urged the very circumstantial nature of the evidence and the fearful responsibility they would incur by convict ing • fellow creature of so fearful a crime upon the mere probability that he might have been guilty. The Lord Chief Justice having carefully summed up, the jury retired, and after an absence of about half an hour, came into court, and returned a verlict of Not Guilty. et the THIRD COURT.—YrmaRDay. Biro= no Ocausca SZLIZAIt• John Whaley,2l, clerk, plaided guilty to four indictments, charging hint with embezzling sums amounting to upwards of 961., the monies of Nathaniel Machin and another, hie master. Mr. Fayne, who appeared for the prosecution, stated that tho prisoner came into the service of the prosecutes, who are large wholesale confectionen in the City, about two years ago, and that he began to embezzle the fi rst day he entered their servioe, and bad continuted to do so until a few days ago, end as far as could be ascertained, his defal cations amounted to above 26111., and to prevent detection falsified the ledger. Mr. Sleigh, for the defence, called several witnesses who gave him a good character, and stated that be had been led into it by a fellow-clerk, who had gone to Australia. Mr. Payne/aid that statement was untrue. The Comets Serjeant said the saes was a most flagrant one, and transported him for seven years. Ernest Madly, 46, and Ma th er Davidson, 19, hawker, were convicted of obtaining, by false patinae hosanna& Salem, two half sovereigns. It appeared that the prisoners had forged the signature of Mr. Cappel, of the German Lutheran church, Goodman's fields and also the seal,and with the letter reaminsending them as objects deserving of charity, want to the Society for the Relief of Foreigners in Distress, and obtained the money in o nation. The polies who maraud their !edits's found above 400 begging letters, each setting forth various and different tales of woe. Cunningham's interview with Miss Norden. During all this time witness bad no suspicion of Miss Norden'. con dition. . . . Miss Morden was then placed in the witness-box, and &mkt d s few incidental questions, after whieh Mr. Bit ns applied for the discharge of Currie, eontemdiag the'. there was no case against him. Mr. Sleigh asked permission to put to Inspector Emerson the following question, whether it was not after the prisoner Currie knew that the charge against Cunningham was for using an instrument to procure abortion, that Carrie said that Cunningham tcid hint he bad learned to do it in France / ..---- • Inspector Emerson---Yet, it was. Mr. Sleigh remarked that he wu almost willing to rest the ease against Currie on that answer, and he again asked for a remand. The) ; were transported for 7 years. William Johnson, .53, labourer, was al.o convicted of obtaining money by false pretences, from John James Close and Douglass Charles Oudiner. The prisoner's mode of fraud was somewhat singular. He had gone to several auctioneer and appraisers with forged letters, purporting to come from persons at Braver end, Brighton, and other place", requesting these appraisers to come and make valuations for the purposes of umpirage, and according to the usages of the trade got various sums of a few shillings, which, it appear', is endorsed upon the letter te be paid to that* who bear the letter. He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment sad bard labour. "w ir..*orten said he felt bound to accede to the applica tion, and thus afford facilities for the apprehension of Mr. Gordon. This was most desirable for the ends of justice, because if Gordon was apprehended and charged with the prisoners, many circumstances, which were inadmissible in evidence during his abseace might be proved, and thus the case considerably strengthened against all the prisoners. The prisoners were accordingly remanded and removed in custody. HAMMERSMITH. Jolts Wentia, conductor of a Bayswater 'bus was fined 40s. for starting his vehicle when • parsec sr, Sir James South, was standing on the steps, .instead et first allowing his fare to get in. In consequenee of the misconduct Sir James was shaken off the step, and rand in the mud, re criving contusions **serious that, se he described it, "he felt all over ea it he had boas bastiamoloal."

Sergeant Gales, 9 E, and police constables Kniglit, 147 E, and Jiarks, 74 E, attended before Mr. Jardine, by direc tion of the Police Commissioners, to answer the charge of having violated their duty. The whole of the particulars of the alleged picture steal ing case, sa recently published, were gone into again, and Mr. Thompson described the manner and language of the men who apprehended him as before. He wee cross examined at great length by Mr. Lewis, the solicitor fer the defendante, who also examined two or three other con stables, to show that the alleged misconduct was not wit nessed by them. Mr. Jardine said no doubt it would have been better if the constables had contented themselves with watahing the outside of Mr. Thompson's house till the morning ; but it was clear that in what they had done they had merely car ried out the directions of 96 E, who bad put them inaction, and who was undergoing punishment for the part he had taken on the night in question. With respect to the rough usage described by Mr. Thomma, some allowance must be made for the very natural Ind ign ation excited in his mind by his improper apprehension on a charge of felony ; and as to searching his pockets at the station, it was a duty which the police were compelled go perform. U n d er all the circumstances he considered that the three defendants were entitled to their discharge. SUGAR.—The average price of Sugar, the produce of the British posaessiona in America, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the 10th May, 1853, is 245. 81d. Sugar, the produce of the klauritiue, 245. 1011. Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, no return. The average price of the two foregoing descriptions of Sugar, jointly, is 245. 9d. BRISTOL, MAT 13.—Sugar: The market continues firm, and a large amount of business has been transacted this week, both in Mauritius and Ravannah, at full prices; in West India the sales are confined to some parcels of Bar badoes, of the new crop, at steady rates. The refined mar ket hu been active, and the stocks of manufactured goods ready for delivery have been considerably reduced, atrather improved quotations. In rum we are without any business to report. COTTON.—Liwnitroot, MAT 13.—Throughout the whole of the week we have had a continued, firm, and steady market. The result upon our quotation, has been id. ad vanes in the fortnight on the middling qualities of Ameri can; very ordinary and inferior sorts remaining much as be fore. Other kinds, includine Brasile and Surats, are scarcely changed. The same may be said of Egyptians, for vatic . there has been an active demand, both for trade and on spe culation; but there is still a large supply in the market. The advices from the United States, both as to the markets in that country, as well as the decrease of excess of receipts, are encouraging to holder.. Neither is there anything of an adverse character from Manchester. The existing scale of our prices, and amount of stock, are the other points calling for consideration. We close the week with a firm market. The committee of brokers place fair Uplands at 61c1., Mobile at 60., and Orleans at 61d. 4,190 American, 970 Surat, 1,180 Egyptian. and 20 Bahia, are reported to have been taken on speculation ; 4,040 American, 880 Surat, 310 Madras, 100 Egyptian, 60 Bahia, and 240 Pcrnam, for export. Sales for the week, 46,860 bales. WOOL—Lsaos, MAY 13.—There bu been no change of importance in the demand for wool this week. Prices re main firm and stationary.

Barley nominally unaltered in value. Beans but few offering, and quite as dear ; ma saps, 325.; ticks, 335. to 36a. LINCOLN, May Io.—We had a fair show of Wheat at our exchange to•day. Farmers asked more money, but sales could not be effected at higher rates than were obtained last week. Malting season being over, the demand for Bar. was limited. Very ►ittle doing in Oats and Beans. Wheat, red, 435. to .475. ; white, 4135. to 60s. Barley, 29e. to 365. Oats, I3s. to 225. LIVERPOOL,MIII 13.—Though many parties in this country express a firmer feeling as to an improvement in the trade ere long, speculative buyers appear on the reserve, and the millers and dealers seem by no means active at present ; most of the English markets this week, are, in consequence, again quoted rather lower for Wheat and Flour, and those on the east coast are stated to be in some measure kept in chec.e by arrivals of grain from the Baltic and nearer ports of the Continent. The leading markets of Ireland, in fluenced by liberal stocks in granary, and further accumu lations weekly into Queenstown, are reported dull, and breadshiffs arc generally depressed in value, except Oats and Oatmeal, which, being . relatively cheaper than other articles of food, maintain their position in preference. During the last three days our supplies received coahtwise and from Ireland have been extremely email, and, prevented by adverse winds, those of foreign grain very moderate, comprising merely 6,173 quarters of Wheat, and 2,337 quarters of Indian Corn; the import of Flour amounting to 12,05 G barrels from the United States, and 1,727 sacks from Mar seilles. Although the business transacted here, from the clime of Tuesday's market to this date, was neither lively nor extensive, the trade throughout was firm, and in the few sales effected former rates were generally maintained. At our Corn Exchange today the extreme rates of Tuesday were paid for Wheat of all descriptions, and, though we had only a moderate attendance of buyers, a fair extent of bus 4 new was effected, the trade closing firm. American Flour met an improved demand, any thing good and fresh was rather dearer, but French, being in slow request, was with out amendment in value. Oats and Oatmeal wets agnin rather higher, the Latter continuing to more rialto freely. Beans somewhat dearer: the markst bah" almost cleared -• of r.,gyptaii. aaatatt Corn saleable in mono quantities, LAMBETH. The prisoners Canninghaas, alise Smith, Currie, and Thomas, charged with being concerned in attempting to induce abortion, were again examined. Mrs. Cornelius deposed that for a few days she went to visit the complainant, Miss Modem, at her invitation, in Bryan-street, Caledonianwoad, and that Cunningham called there several times, remaining at each visit from 10 minutes to a quarter of an hour. As witness always left the room at Miss Morden's requelit she could not say what took place. The Rev. Mr. OordoTalso visited Mint Morders while wit nem was staying at the house.

May 13.—The arrivals of grain are mode rate, and of Enolish Wheat small, but a fair show from the Baltic, the quality of which is good. The weather is ex tremely cold for the season, which tends M give a firmer tone to the trade, and we quote all descriptions at fully last week's prices. Barley steady. Oats and Shelling as before.
