Thi. was an action in tremor brought by the plaintiff, who was the solicitor of a railway scheme which had now been abandoned, which bad been called the Reading and Iteigatc Atmospheric Junction Railway, and he brought the prownt action against Major Beresford, as the chair ' man of the company, to recover posses.sion of a minute honk which he required for the purpose of maintaining an action which had been commenced against another director. Esidence was offered nn behalf of the plaintiff to show that he was entitled to the posse , vims of the minute-hook. On behalf of the defendant it was contended that tho plaintiff was not entitled to prooession of the book, and evi dence was called to support this view of the case. Lord Caniphell then summed up, and the jury returned • verdict for the defendant. Lord Campbell then, addressing the jury, said—Gentle men, I fed it my duty to say that this is one of the most disgraceful actions ex er brought into a court of justice, and I regret to think that the plaintiff is nt present on the rolls ran attorney. What was the conduct of the plaintiff ? He inilueed Major Bert xford to become a mem ber of the company by giving him an under taking to indemnify him against all expenses, and then he sues him for a large sum, 2,3001., which he was obliged to pay. Thin having got the minute hooks into his possession, on a promise that he would deliver them up when the company required them, he brings an action for troves against Major Beresford, into whose hands they had ultimately fallen, he himself having absconded to avoul his creditors, and without doing anything whatever to realise, as he had prombeil to do, the assets of the com pany. Notwithstanding this, however, he brings this action into a court of justice and before a special jury. I was anxious, if possible, that his reputation should not be exposed. I gave him a hint which I thought would have been taken, hut it was his pleasure to proceed to trial ; and I am not sorry that he has pmceeded, because the result has shown him to is- a very unworthy and dishonourable per son, who is seeking to enforce a demand which he must know to he unjust.

THE LONT/ON Dock Con. PANT.-111P0 AAA N T RETENVI CAtVV, This cause was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clerek. Mr. William Spencely recalled and examined by Mr. Peacock, Q.C.—The witness enumerated several casks of cocoa sweepings which were mixed. Those sweepings had been collecting in =all quantities during two years. I had certainly not given any authority to any one to remove that cocoa without payment of duty. I know Fox and Compton. Fos was the iiiaa man for deliveries and Compton was the foreman. They have both left the service of the company. Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General.—l have been 7 years at the South Quay. Compton was under me. He has horn dismissed and prosecuted by the Customs. I think I can always get cocoa into original packnore*--into hags, certainly, and I think casks, too. I remember the cargo of the Muss. I don't remember (having had ten overtaken. (A MOCII . I of the docks was produced by the Customs.) Patrick Toomey, examined by Mr. Maeauley, have been in the employ of the South Quay since 1840. Coffee, cocoa, and rice see the principal articles which arc brought to me to pick. We put them into casks when cleaned for the purpose of supplying deficiencies. The four casks had been picked since I had been to the warehouse. I never saw any clean fresh cocoa, taken from the bulk, put amongst the sweepings. None of the 23 parcels were clean picked. Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General—l bad been picking in 02, at the end of the floor. I know Gislellard. I don't remember his having started an original bug of cocoa into those sweepings. James Jennings examined by Mr. Groves—l have been nine years in the employ of the docks. I have been em ployed sweeping up the floors. I never knew an instance of a hag being taken from the pile to be placed amongst the sweepings. The witness was not cress-examined. _ _ Mr. John Diston Powks examined by Sir T. have hi Id the office of secretary of the Dock Company for nearly 14 years, and lam also a member of • mercantile firm in thi City. 1 has e become well acquainted with the business of the company. They are accountable for all the goods that are imported, and arc not importers themselves. Wherever the merchant makes out a claim the company satisfies it. There lens been no claim made against the company in ISI7 for ten bags of sugar short shipped for Antwerp. I never heard one syllable about it until I heard it Millis court. I don't know myself of any such cargo. Most of the directors of the London Docks arc importer% of the largest class in London. and they are selected on that account. The company hold 3.600,000/. Taking the aver age 4,000/. a year increase would add about 2/. per annum to each of the 24 directors. I never remember • single com plaint of goods being delivered short weight. The London Dock ('ompany have given gratuities to their officers in 11413, Isl 6, and 1643. They have given from 1,6001. to 1,100/. The net profits of the sweepings were 3,1091. per annum. That in cludes everything of every kind. The articles wool and indigo form a large item. * We lose by the rummage sales, for an Ortega(' of five years, 1,4001. • year. Except the swe epings, which produce 3,11191. a year, we have no other sources of revenue whatever. When asst the customs sus pected that something was wrong at the docks, I wrote to Mr. Chandler to say. "open all the docks." (Letters were read from Mr. Scosell, secretary of the Customs, and the witness, by which it appeared that every facility was given to the revenue officers.) Between 15 and 16 lbs. per hogshead per annum is quite • reasonable quantity. About 26,000,0031. worth of goods passed through the docks Inst rear. I could nut say what passed through the docks in 1849 or in 181$. I have myself written to the Customs ap prising them of the accumulation of sweepings. That has occurred eight times in ten years. A committee of directors sit every week. Crow-examined by the Solicitor-General—The salaried officers, except foremen, arc included in the gratuities. Mr. William Dickinson, examined by Mr. Macauley, Q.C.-1 am clerk in the employ of Meont. Manning and Andersen. We import a good deal in the London Dock. Cows-examined by the Solicitor-General—Mr. Manning is a director of the Dock Company. William Smith examined by Sir F. Kelly—l have been foreman at the Eastern Docks for ten years. I searched the tally sheets, and I find no evidence of Crisp being here. I find Crisp was last employed in the mouth of February, 1845. Cross-eaamineel by the Solicitor-General—l swear that Crisp itas never employed in the Eastern Dock after 1845. Ile might have been taken on by any of the foramen. He was an era labourer. examined by Sir F. Kelly—l have searched hir Crisps name as tallyman from 1847 to 1819. It does not al lt e ii . ard Page, examined by Sir F. Kelly—l am examiner of amounts. I have looked carefully through the hooks for 1847, and I can find no entry of the shipment of 900 bags of cocoa for Antwerp. Crosi-examined by the Soli& tool! through 18460 r 1848. Mr. Janies . Cook examined by Sir F. Kelly.—l am a broker, and have had extensive transactions through the London Docks. I have never had to complain of any defi ciency of anything imported. I have also imported sugar through the West India Docks. There is no advan tage in one over the other. Sir F. Kelly said he had a number of witnesses to exa mine on this point, but ss the witness was not cross-exa mined. he could not of course produce them. Mr. It. William Graham examined by Sir F. Kelly.—l have examined from 1843 to 1850, eight years, and find that the company have paid 6.6041. 2s. fur weighing pack ages. It was my duty to pay any claim on the company. The Solicitor-General called attention to a claim of 34/. Ss. which had been paid by the company fur some error. Mr. W. H. Wickes was examined by Sir F. Kelly to show that the entry relative to molasses in ledger A was Mr s . Richard Randall examined by Mr. Maeanley, Q.C.— I gave no directions that in the event of any bags or pack ages in excess they were to be packed at once.—The total number of hogsheads of sugar imported into all the docks for seven years from 1843 was 206.588 hogsheads. The weight sold was 28,282 cwt. For the same period at the eastern docks it was 167,310 hogsheads landed and the draining% 21,307 cat. The Ilarbadoes sugar forms a large proportion of the cargoes at this dock. The quantity of cocoa landed from 1839 to 1819, including the stock on hand O'ov. 1839), was 1,901 packages, weighing 145 tom 7 cwt. Thu total quantity was 8 7 ,889 packages. The com pany have sold 150 cwt. 19 lbs, as sweepings of cocoa. The average price for exportation was 18s. per cwt. 455. to 50s. par ewe. is the price of good duty pod cocoa. The duty is 3d per lb. on British, and 4d. on foreign. The defendants' ease having closed, The Solicitor-General addressed the court in reply. He congratulated them upon at length arriving at a prospect of a diminution of their labours, and be assured them he would be no party to any further delay. The London Dock Com pany, the defendants, bad occupied the whole of the past week in offering their defence to the information. He did not regret that so much time had been devoted to that pur pose, because the delay had assisted very considerably to abate and diminish those feelings of indignation which had been caused in his mind, and also, perhaps, in the mind of the public. He had listened with surprise and astonish ment to the address of his learned friend, for a more acri monious. or a more malignant, or a more unwarrantable or unjustifiable attack upon any body of men it had never been his fate to hear fall from the lips of say asa. Nimes bad ke seard each ea attack upon THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1851. the gentlemen who constituted the Board of Cus toms. lle believed that the epithets that had been applied ; to those gentlemen would have been more fairly directed to the gentlemen whom his learned friend represented. The attack had been made against the Board of Customs, and the allegations which hod bet n made were, that the Board had entered into a base conspiracy to op press, to annoy, and to crush the London Dock Company— an assertion which be would undertake to declare no state ment which he had himself made could warrant—for he had most cautiously guarded himself, wheu addressing the jury on behalf of the Board of Customs, from accusing any one of the London Docks directory, or the Board itself per sonally, with knowledge of the acts of which they com plained. He had not charged them, as his learned friend had said, with frauds, or any personal knowledge of those frauds which were attributed to their servants. On the contrary-, he had in the most distinct language stated his lull belief that the directors of the London Doak Company would far rather have suffered their right arms to have been rut off before they would, any one of them, have sanctioned the roinmission of any fraudulent or dishonourable acts. He had made that remark when he opened the ease to the jury, and he repeated the statement at the present moment. That was his firm conviction, and he did not hesitate to proclaim that such was the impres sion upon his mind. As to the utter impossibility of any of these gentlemen being capable of doing that which was attributed to him by his learned friend, he denied that he had ever thrown out such an imputation upon those gentle men. What had beta, let bun ask, the conduct of the Board of Customs towards the London Dock Company ? Had it not been precisely that which would have been an ticipated from a body of gentlemen who had received informs tiou that another public body or public company in whom they had placed the utmost and the most perfect confidence had been guilty of certain irregular proceedings ? He would appeal to the whole of the correspondence which had taken place between the two parties, or rather between the two secretaries of the two bodice, that was, between the begged the jury to compare thisquantity demos sweepinp M a portion only of the London I)ocks, with the whole quantity for ten years in the West India Docks, which Mr. Knight had proved had not exceeded 148 lbs. a year. The learned Solicitor-General in conclusion disclaimed any-thing like ill feeling towards so highly respectable and responsible a body as the London Dock t onipar.y. But the customs had a public duty to perform, and it was only in that light they had felt themselves called upon to institute these pro -1 ~,dings. If the jury, after weighing the whole of the evidence carefully, should be of opinion that the London Dock Company had not been guilty of the charges imputed to them, then they should return at verdict for the defend ants ; but if on the other hand the Duck Company had violated the law, then he was sure they would find a verdict for the crown. The Lord Chicf Baron said he would summing up this (Tuesday) morning. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-YESTERDAY. BIOME RE. Coininoto•ta Et,MANIC,. RE LOUD HUNTINOTDWER'S BANKRUPTCY: This morning, at noon, a meeting took place for the pur pose of choosing new trade assignee:l under the bankruptcy ' of William Lionel Felix 'follemache, commonly called Lord Iluntingtower, described as late of Kenton and Locks Bottom, Kent, and of Fenton Lodge, Andover, horse dealer, vomit proprietor, &c. Mr. Chidley, of Gresham-street, appeared as solicitor to the fiat, and Mr. Niue, of Coptlialbrourt, for creditors. The fiat was issued in September, 1842, and the bank rupt's debts, for which he had received consideration, were at the time of his failure 40,000/., and bills of exchange fraudulently obtained from him by " bill riggers," under pretence of getting them discounted, amounted to 300,0001. The bankrupt is entitled to the reversionary interest in considerable landed property in Kent, tionlainptunshire and several other English counties upon the death of his father, Earl Dysart. The whole property is estimated to be of the value of 30,000/., end the above learned commissioner, upon granting the bankrupt his certificate, required him to execute a bond assigning his reversionary interest to the trade and official assignee, in order that the sum might he realised and appropriated towards payment of the debts of the bona fide creditors. Up to the present time, however, nothing has been received under the estate. Up to the month of January last Mr. John Giblion, of Mutton-garden, gentleman, had acted as assignee on behalf of the creditors, at which period he died, and hence the necessity of the present meeting. Only two small proofs were tendered and admitted with out opposition, and Mr. Charles Self, of 20, Chester-place, Kennington, manager of Messrs. Cox and lliddulph's bank, Charing-cross, was proposed as the future creditors' signie and accepted the trust. Messrs. Cox and Bithlulph's debt is 7,700/. secretary of the Board o 1 Customs and the secretary of the Dock Company, to show that the Board of Customs had been most anxious to extend every indulgence and courtesy to the Duck Company. The learned Solicitor-General re ferred to some of the earlier letters that had passed between the secretaries. Could there be anything (he continued) more courteous on the part of the Board of Customs ? They, receiving information respecting those transactions, were of necessity called upon to perform their duty to the public They were bound to protect the public revenue from any irregularity of proceedings by the servants of the 1)oc Company. In the outset they had courted the cordial co-operation of the directors of that company, with a view to the discovery and the estoppel of those irregularities. The Board of Customs sought the cordial assistance of the London Dock Coinpuny in carrying out a searching investi gation of the charges which were se t up against their ser sant.. To that solicitation the Dock Company had sent a ' formal note, to the effect that the whole of the docks pre- MISCA should be thrown open to the customs officers. Now, was that exactly the sort of reply that the Board of Customs had a right to look fur in answer to their request for the co operation of the Dock Company in discovering certain alleged frauds which it was said were being carried on upon their premise's i liis learned friend bad spoken of throwing back the charges with indignation and scorn, whilst he knew very well that the only question they had to try was not one affecting the rests debility, the wealth, or the character of the London Dock Company ; but simply whe t ler the certain goods which were mentiaied in the in formatio then before thecourt were or were not liable to seizure by the Custom-house officers in consequence of an infraction of the revenue laws? No one had made the least attempt to im mn the conduct or thecharacterof the directors of the Lon don Dock Company. Not a charge of the kind had been brought against those gentleman. Neither had there been any attempt to raise a prejudice against them in the minds 'of the jury. His leaned friend had then stated that he had accused the directors of the London Dock Company with Laving given gratuities to their servants for the purpose of inducing them to accumulate the oweepings and scrapings of the docks. Now, he most emphatically denied that he had ever made any such charge. What he did say was this, that the company had distributed a bonus at diffe rent times amongst certain of their servants, in consequence of t h e increasing revenues of the es tablishment, and then that the only way in which he could account for there gat accumulation of the sweepings and the scrapings was that the officers of the company had considered that their gratuities would be increased or leecomel more frequent in proportion tee the extent of the dividend which might be made amongst the directors and share holders ; therefore that that end would be attained by their obtaining an increase in the sweepings and scrapings." Now he was in a position to deny that those gratuities were awarded solely for " over-time" working : for he held in his hand a paper which had been put in hey the Secretary of the Loudon Dock Company, which contained the minutes and the circular which the company had agreed to send to the different officers to whom the gratuities were given. From those documents he found that the directors had expressly stated on the 29th of August, 11443 (which was the period at which the gratuities were first given) that they had resolved to give bonuses to certain of their servants in conic menet: of the real, industry, and diligence, with which they conducted the business of their different departments, and because the business hail been greatly inereased, and was in a more flourishing condition. Now lie should contend that the publication of such a state ment as this put forth in the circular amounted to neither more nor less than the holding out an incentive to the London Dock Company to persist in the continuance of that precise and particular species of " zeal and nee," which would tend tee place the officers of the company in a still more flourishing position than they were even at that moment. Let it be understood he did not charge the directors with INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERMY. Hamm Ma. O.IIIONtIONV.It PNILLIPA. IN NZ WILLIAM DUNK, SHE YOUNGFR.

The visiting magistrate made a report that further confinement would occasion his death, and Mr. Commissioner Phillips ordered his liberation. Ile was now out of prison, and, being without grub et ion, he was liable to be arrested by his creditors, and, therefore, applied fur a protecting order under the 28th section of the Act. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked the creditors who now opposed, whether they would wish to send the insolvent, who was in such a wretched state of health, to prison, tier that would the result, if he did not grant the applica tion. He would not he accessory to his death, and it was quite clear that he would be lertliwith discharged if again sent to prison, fur his life would be in great danger. The creditors considered that they bad been badly used. One of them had the insolvent in prison for two months, and the others had not proceeded against him. Mr. Commis sinner Phillips said, the insolvent had suffered enough already. For 13 months he had been without protection, and for two months iu prison. His life, it was evident was in a very precarious state, and he could not refuse the ap plication. There was no doubt the creditors had gall 114 USC of complaint, but the insolvent had suffered for his conduct—The Court granted a protecting order. giving their servants a gratuity for the express purpose of inducing a system of peculation on their premises. But he denied that the gratuities were bestowed for "over-time" alone. and he should contend that the natural and inevitable tendency of rewards of this description was to hold out sit inducement to the officers to continue with undiminished and unabated zeal that diligent prosecution of the business of the companies which had enabled their directors to pay the proprietors such good dividends, and their officem such large gratuities. Let him here state that lie was willing to admit that his learned friends, as well as himself, had fallen into an error in respect of the return of sweepings which had been found by the witness Smith, whom he had called on behalf of the crown, and in respect of whose evidence his learned friend (Sir F. Kelly) had indulged in so fierce a tirade' of at least half an hour'', duration. He had now disposed of those portions of the address of his learned friend, to which he had deemed it necessary especially to refer in detail, and he would implore that the jury would dismiss from their minds every species of preiudice which they might have imbibed, and that they wont(' arrive at such a conclusion as the evidence might lead them to believe was duly warranted by its effect. It was impowlible to deny that the evidence had been of a sexy conflicting and contradictory character. Neither could it he denied, on the one side or the other, that the most gross and deliberate perjure must have been committed. Before, however, he went to 'the evidence, he could not permit the opportunity to pass him of adverting, by a single observa tion, to a remark which tell from his learned friend in the course of his address to the jury. His learned friend hail said that he would not have undertaken the defence of this cause had he not been fully convinced of the perfect honour and integrity of his clients, the London Dock Company, and also of the bad character of the attack which had been made upon those gentlemen. Now, with regard to this, he would call it unparalleled, declaration, he could only say, as his learned friend had made it, he was obliged to believe the truth of the assertion • but he must be allowed to say, that hail the declaration fallen from any other mem ber of the her—hail any other member of the bar told him that be had looked at the "inside " of his brief, and from its contents alone had drawn his conclusions as to the per fect innocence of his clients, and there had been no reference to the endorsement on the ° outside" of his brief— (laughter)—he should not have been able to refrain from laughing at the assertion. To return to the evidence which had been adduced by the London Dock Company, which he thought be should be able to show had clearly of itself made out a case of forfeiture to the crown—in the first plate some of the witnesses had distinctly proved that 29 of the 28 casks of sugar seized had been filled from " the overdrawings " from other packages. In reference to this, it was provided by the 2nd and 18th sections of the 7& 8 ie., c. 86, that every package of goods which came into the docks should be entered in the name of some particular person or persons, then marked, numbered, and described, so as to correspond with the original entry at the Custom-house, and with the &scrip. tion in the manifest of the ship. And section 20 provided that if any goods were taken out of a warehouse without having been duly entered, they became forfeited to the crown. In the present case he contended that the 28 casks of sugar which formed one of the items set out in this in formation constituted portions of other cargoes that had not been deposited as the property of the person whose name appeared in the particular entry, and thus had become for feited to the crown. Nothing could be more clear than that the merchants bad lost portions of their goods, and that the revenue had lost the duty by the sweepings having been abstracted from the cargoes. Hence the mer chant's cargo in respect of quantity had been diminished, and the crown had therefore lost the duty, because the sugar was exported, instead of its being sent to the home market for consumption. He was free to admit that many of the witnesses who had been called for the crown were in the pay of the Customs, having previously been in the em ploy of the London Dock Company. Of that fact there could be no doubt. But what were the Customs to do ? Was the Board of Customs, having received the informa tion of the misdeeds of the Dock Company from these very men, to allow them to starve, simply because they had answered truthfully the questions which had been put to them by the crown ? There were doubtless drawbacks against such a class of witnesses, and it was the province of the jury to weigh the probabilities of their statements, and arrive at a just, fair, and proper conclusion. The learned Solicitor-General then read a paper, of which the following is an abstract. The etnintity of sugar imported into the West India Dock from tfie West Indies and South America had been shown to be about 21 rester than in the London Docks, and yet the " wet drain tugs" of sugar in the latter were nearly seven times greater than in the West India Docks, although Barbadoes and Brazilian sugars were of the same character, and the " drainings" from each would be about the same in amount. With reference to these warehouse sweepings of cocoa, it appeared that 6,6331b5. of clean picked cocoa had been seized, and at the same time the officers had left 1,3001b5. of what might be considered sweepings from the dirt mixed with them, making about 8,000165. of sweepings found in the London Docks, which had been admitted to be the collection of two or three years. In the two or three previous years there had been exporta tions of cocoa, not to any great extent, but still of the ordi me, average exportation. Independent of this, 8,631 lbs. lad bsea expeeted at the prese ave years. Now he THE POLICE COURTS. MARYLEBONE. P I.l'S Drat nil' A LA)I,O IN 0 i-1101:811 K rxerit.—Mary _121,1 Farmer, residing at .57, Ikaumont.dreet, High-street, Marylebone, was brought up in custody, oa the charge of having stolen Bunk notes, jewellery &c., to a large amount, the property of Mr. Thomas Hillman, chief clerk to the " Accidental Death Insurance Company," Luthbury. Prosecutor, cm being sworn, Raid—l and my family have recently occupied apartments at the prisoner's house. Last Saturday week I came home at six, and directly afterwards I went out ; ut IM minutes past six I returned, and the door was opened to me by the prisoner, who asked me if I had not met a man coming out of the premises. I told her I had not that I was aware of ; upon which she ob served, " Your son is sitting in the dining-room. I think I heard footsteps across the passage. lam very much afraid that a robbery has been committed, and it's most likely there's the thief upstairs now." I remarked that I would send for a policeman; and I spoke to several persons who were passing along to request that they would look for one, while I remained at the door. Prisoner said that she would see after one, and she went into the street. While I was waiting at the door the prisoner's sister came running down stairs, with dishevelled hair, and carrying a candle in her hand, exclaiming " Oh, my God, there's a man under the bed." At this moment a policeman came to the door, and I said to him " Let us go up stairs." Prisoner, who had returned, took hold of the candle and went up stairs, and I and the officer followed her. When we got to the bedroom flour, on the second landing, I saw the front bedroom door, which room is not occupied, open, and in the apartment with a velvet cloak belonging to my wife. The policeman said, jokingly, "there's your man, and on removing the cloak there was found behind it the drawer of my wife's dressing ease, with a few trinkets in it. I opened the dressing-room door, and at once discovered that the ease itself was gone. My wife came up and found that her drawers bad been disturbed, and the cloak which 1 have mentioned gone. We then went up alone to my daughter's bedroom on the next landing, and I found on the drawers the outer covering of her dressing-case. The ease itself was nowhere to be met with, and it contained either one or two bank notes, a half-sovereign, an emerald ring, a gold and emerald brooch, a topaz brunch with pearls, a gold briguct chain, a double opera glass, a gold ring set with a diamond, and a number of other articles, value, in dependently of the notes, from 801. to 901. Sergeant Dattersby, 4 —At halfpast 7 on the evening of last Saturday week I repaired to the prisoner's house by direction of Superintendent Ilughcs, who had received information that a large robbery had in a most mysterious manner been effected. I imme diately repaired to the dwelling, and after examining the same I saw the prisoner and her sister, and a man named Saunders.on, wno lises with them. From inquiries which 1 subsequently made, I ascertained the number of the notes stolen, and stopped them at the Bank, and at length traced the payment of one of them by the prisoner to Shoolbred and Co., Tottenham-court-road. On Saturday night last, I repaired to prisoner's house, and I told her I must take her into custody, as I had traced one of the notes which she had passed at Shoulbred's, sells a she said, " If I must go with you, let me have time to wash myself, and change my things." I told her she might do that, but I must go with her. I followed her up stairs, when she went into a room with a little girl, and closed the door. I waited outside, and in a short time I heard her move something. I went in, and saw her at a small writing desk on the drawers. I told her I must look into that myself, which I did, and found therein two pawnbroker's tickets and sundry papers, and in another desk in the apart ment were 19 more tickets. I went out again, and while waiting at the door, I heard prisoner, as she was dressing herself, say to the girl, " Oh, what a fool I was to go so near " (meaning no doubt that she ought to has'e changed the note at a greater distance from her residence). I conveyed her to the station-house, where she was searched, and in her pocket was found a ticket for a brooch and a ring pledged on Saturday last. Battenby further said, that from inquiries which he had instituted, he had ascertained that she belonged to a most disreputable family at St. Leonard's, and that her father, a noted smuggler, had been transported for life for assaulting a custom-house officer. She had lived as lady's maid with Mrs. Colonel Finch, Hyde-park-gardens, and was charged at this court with stealing from the house bank-notes and other property amounting to nearly 1501. ' • she was tried and sentenced to transportation, but owing to her being strongly recommended to mercy her sentence was commuted to 18 months' hard labour in the House of Correction • soon after her liberation she took a lodging-house in Albany stmt, and absconded therefrom with more than 501. worth of property belonging to a gentleman named Hughes, one of her lodgers, and who now lives in Camden-town. . . . . The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say, denied that she was the person who changed the note at noollired's, and said she was not out of her house until might in the evening of the day named. In °mkr to afford time for the production of important witnesses the prisoner was remanded till Monday next. Mr. Bingham Paid, from the circumstance,' under which the warrant was granted, and the facts which had Men stat#ll, hr considered himself fully justified in acceding to the application for leave to withdraw the charge. The defendant was then discharged. WINDING UP OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES. HEREFORD AND MERTHYR RAlLWAY.—Yester day three engineering claims were brought in by Mr. Valiance, the solicitor to this estate, before his Honour Master Richards. The first was for 143/. from Mr. Hughes, the consulting engineer to the company, which was allowed, subject to cause being shown to the contrary. The second was a claim from Mr. Taylor, surveyor of the line, for 1,03 a, which was referred for consideration to the official manager, it being alleged that Mr. Taylor had received all he was entitled to. 'file third was a claim of 1971. from I Mr. Jermyn, C.E., who stated that he was employed by Mr. Hughes. His Honour observed that unless Mr..ler myn could prove that he was employed by the company he could not allow the claim as a debt against the company, and that he thought 10 guineas a day for 17 days an enor mous charge. Mr. Jermyn said he could prove that at the period in question the services of an engineer were worth it, and that indeed they were worth 40 guineas a day. The labour that he and others underwent at the time was such no they had not experienced during 20 years before. lie went down at the direction of Mr. Hughes, on a forlorn hope. to secure the deposit of the plans for die line, and succeeded in sn doing. It was very hard that Mr. Hughes, who had only given the di rections, should be allowed his claim, and that the claim of those who had done nll the work should not he admitted. All that Mr. Hughes had done was to cross a river to meet him, Mr. Jermen, who had travelled through frost and snow over the *Welsh midland mountains to meet him at Brecon, where he changed horses, and all he had received was 201. on account of expenses. kr. Hughes replied that his position was that of consulting engineer to the company, and in that capacity lie examined the plans and sections after they were made out by the proper parties. Mr. Taylor, in explanation of an item of 649/. for survey of 20 miles of line, said it was no uncommon thing in the days of the railway mania to offer 100 guineas per mile for a survey when it came to the push. Ultimately his Honour decided that he could not allow Mr. Jcrntvn's claim as a debt against the company, but that he might have his remedy at law against Mr. Hughes. STAFFORDSHIRE AND SHROPSHIRE 'RAILWAY.— Yesterday . Mr. C. D. Archibald, one of the directors of this company, was further examined by Mr. Roxburgh, on be half of Mr. Hutton, the official manager, relative to the part he took in the custody of the company's funds, Mr. Scotland appearing as his counsel. At the conelusion of the inquir y Mr. Roxburgh called upon his Honour, Muster Richards, to make an order on Mr. Archibald to pay over 2,602/. to the official manager on behalf of the shareholder., and which he (Mr. Roxburgh) alleged had been drawn out of the Commercial Bank without any authority from the shareholders. ills Honour reserved his decision to give counsel for Mr. Archibald an opportunity to reply.

The charge, which, on a former occasion, was stated to have originated in a gambling transaction, has been ad journed repeatedly, once on account of the non-attendance of the defendant's counsel and once on account of the non attendance of the prosecutor's counsel. Mr. Clarkson, addressing Mr. Bingham, said, since he last had the honour of addressing the court, a communica tion had been made by the defendant, Coyle, to Captain Alleync to such an effect as had led Captain Alleyne to be lieve there was a possibility that the transaction from which the bill in question came into his hands we.; accompanied by such circumstances as made it doubtful whether the de fendant had a guilty knowledge of the character of the bill at the time it came into his possession. This considers, tion had induced Captain Alleyne to decide on not press ing the charge.
