The defendant had seen the horses in constant use for two years, and knew them well, and it was at his own earnest request that they had been sold to him. After he had got them to London he had evpressed, to Lieutenant Bill his satisfaction with them, and had kept them three weeks before he had them examined by a veterinary surgeon, and had exercised acts of ownership over them by having them shod, and he had no right afterwards to turn round and shuffle off the payment for them and break his promise. Ilia lordship, in summing up, said the issue for the jury to determine was whether, when the defendant bought the horses, the plaintiff knew that the defendant was labouring under an error in supposing the horses to he sound, and per• mined him to eentinue under that error, and under the in -1 duenee of that impression to purcha-e the horses.

Mr. Francis Dodd-1 am a jeweller, and carry on busi ness at" Cornhill. The prisoner made an application to me respecting the purchase on Monday last. lie said that he had been "drawn" of his own watch, and he selected one of mine at 2.1/., and a gold chain at St lOs. Ile said he would either take it, or I might send it. I told him I had bitter send it. I did not see him again until yester day when he called at my shop, and he brought with him the cheque book. He asked me the amount of the watch and chain, and I replied 331. lOs. Ile asked for a pen, and filled no the cheque now produced for 331. lOs. I ob jected to it, on account of its being crossed.

Ile said he would, if I would give him a shunt, receipt, and he added that he always liked to cross his cheques. Ile then tore up the first cheque, and threw it on the ground, and wrote me a fresh cheque for 34/. I handed it to my lad, with directions to go and get it cashed, and get a stamp receipt.

Liculenant Bratithale, of the Royal Artillery, of whom Mr. Church, solicitor to the Greenwich Railway Company, complained on Thursday that he hail kept out of the way of the summons of this court, requiring him to answer the charge of assaulting a guard of the line, now preiented him self to complain of that statement as amisrepreseutatiou. lle begged to inform his worship that such was not the case. He was ready and had been so at any time to receive the summons, and meet any charge that might be made against him. lie certainly had not been allotted quarters yet in the Woolwich garrison, but still he did duty there. And M soon as be heard that an officer of that court had been to serve him with a summons he requested parties there to state that he could be found at Long's Hotel should the officer return with the summons. Some misun derstanding, however, took place between the parties, and the officer returned on Thursday unsuccessful. Perusing the report in the papers, and thinking that it might be pre. jdicial to him as a gentleman and an officer in her Majesty's service, he thought it advisable to attend before his worship and state that he was not only ready to meet the complaint, but to make a charge against the railway guard for assaulting him. Guest, the summoning officer, said he hail certainly been unsuccessful in serving the process when he went to Wool wich in the first instance, but that morning he bad been treated with the greatest courtesy by the adjutant, and one of the commanding officers at Woolwich, while in search of the applicant. The adjutant received the summons, and informed him that the lieutenant would attend to the com plaint on the day named in the summons. Mr. Ingham told the applicant that he knew nothing of what appeared in the newspapers, but if ho was ready to meet the complaint of the railway company he had better attend on the day named ou the summons with any wit nesses he may have. Lieutenant Bradshaw—But I am the aggrieved party ; I was assaulted before all my men by the guard in the first instance, and, being on her Majesty's service, I claim the , protection of the court against the railway guard.

WILLIAM PASCOE.—EMAAOUDIMART CAM The plaintiff in this case are bankers, of Newton Abbot, and the defendant a baker, of the same place. The action was brought to recover the sum of 27/. 94., on a bill of ex chanro. Mr. D'Arey conducted the case for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Francis for the defendant. Mr. D'Arcy opened the ease, remarking that this action was brought to recover 271. 9.. on a three months bill of exchange. Lathy, defendant's brother-in-law, had kept an account current with the plaintiffs, and earn. +l on a variety of bills of exchange, and other acceptances of defendant's. On the 21st March, plaintiffs discounted a hill in the usual was, accepted by defendant, and before due Ruby INCATUI. embarrassed. The payment of the bill then devolved on detendant, who proposed paying half in cash, and giving another acceptance fur the other half. Ile was subse rrently served with a notice to admit the hills and their costs, and in spite of his previous admissions states that it is a forgery, stating in explanation of his previous admis sion of the bill, that Ruby was his brother-in-law, and he wanted to screen him from the law. Defendant had made several admissions of the bill. lie bad also denied another bill which he had recently accepted and paid. He (Mr. D'Arcy) would call witnesses who would prove having heard him 'tato that it was his handwriting, but his (Mr. D'Arcy's) principal reliance was on the admissions made by defendant. He then cited a case from CalllllllCll . 6 Re port+, that when a person accepts a bill, and consents to pay it, he cannot deny it When the bill is stopped. John Beachey, solicitor, stated that he served the de fendant with duplicate notice to admit, at the same time showing him the bill, asking whether the acceptance was in his handwriting. Ile replied that it was not, and that he never accepted but one bill in his life for Ruby. Witness replied, I think you must be mistaken, and then produced another bill with his acceptance for 29/. The bill was now produceil. Witness asked him if that bill was in his handwriting, and defendant said it was not. Witness said, Do look at it, because lam informed that you actually advised the bill." Ile repeated, " I never rave but one acceptance in my life." Witness asked hint if he had gut that acceptance : lie said " Yes," and took it out of his pocket. Witness remarked that there seas a great similarity iu the handwriting of the two, and that defendant must be mistaken. lie repeated that he never signed but one acceptance in his life. Witness asked how he came to go to the bank two or three times and offer payment if it was a forgery ? lie replied, " I was there at the request of Ruby, and did not like to transport hint."

A. woman came and gave her a little wine, and h. went to the Overseer to get her removed to the workhouse. The surg. on of the union workhouse deposed to the weak and exhausted state of the proeceutris when she was brought to the workhouse, and to the shocking state of laceration from which she suffered, and especially to an injury caused by Jame , Janus. Mr. Cooke addressed the jury for the prisoners, and called a witness who knew one of them fur three months, and gave him a character for that period, The evidence having been summed up, the jury deliberated for about a minute, and found nil Gu iffy. Ms Lordship thin passed sentence, saying—Prisoners at the bar, you have been convicted on the clearest evidence Of about the most abominable offence I have ever heard proved in a court of justice against men. You, and four other vagabonds like you, found a poor wretched womili in a lonely situation, and treated her in a manner that is shocking to state. I am very glad, for my own sake, that the law has been lately altered; fur though I believe there never was a judge on the bench less disposed to inflict severe punishment, yet, if the law had not been altered, beyond all manner of doubt thri cut' you would be executed. 1 should have felt it my bounden duty, for the protection of the women of this country from such brutality, to leave all of you for execution except Stephens and Thomas James, who, bad at they were, treated the woman with some little kin'lness.

This was an action brought by Colonel Arthur, of the 3rd Dragoon., to ree iver the sum of 2801. from the defend ant, Mr. Charles Polder, formerly a cornet in that regi• ment, hut uow a lieutenant in the 39th. From the state ment of Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, on the part of the plaintiff, it appeared that early in May last the defendant, by means of prevailing on Mrs. Arthur to speak to the colonel to that etrad, proposed to purchase a pair of very handsome carriage horses; and after great per suasion the colonel was prevailed upon to part with them for the nun claimed by the action. No sooner, how ever, had the bargain been concluded, than the colonel of 5/. t.) rescind the bargaiu. At the time of sale it was proposed that the horses, which were called respec tively Governor and Gaoler, should be examined by a veterinary surgeon, and the defendant at first named a Mr. Lawson, but subsequently changed his mind, and took thou upon his own judgtuent. Ile then sent them to London, where they were kept three we.k., and on application being made for payment, Cornet !'colder stated that they had not yet been examined ; but that he would cause that to he immediately done, and he would forthwith remit the amount. Subsequently a correspondence took place, awl a veterinary surgeon has ing certiti-d that the horses were unsound, the defendant refused payment, and the plaintiff would not receive them back. on the ground that he did not warrant them, that the defendant had adopted them as his own, and that they had been driven about London by strangers. James Ferris, a private in the 3rd Dragoon', examined by Mr. Cowling, deposed that hr was the colonel's groom. Oa the 14th May, in company with the colonel and Mrs. Arthur, the defendant came to the stable to examine the horses. Witness took them out, trotted them up and down, and defendant expressed himself satisfied, giving au order that they were to go off at 5 the next morning ; the colonel at that time distinctly stating that he would not warrant them. Cornet l'edder's servant came the evening before to look at the homes, and about breakfast time next morning came and took them away. In his cross-examination by Mr. Watson, Q.C., the wit- ' ness mid that the calonel did * not say in the stable that the hones were sound, but he dill say that he would not war. I rant them. Neither the colonel nor Mrs. Arthur said any thing about them being sound, nor did the defendant make the inquiry. Mr. John Diy Ilill, cornet in the 3rd Dragoons, deposed, that on the 15th of M ty, the day after the sale, he was present when Colonel Arthur said to the defendant " Well, Tedder, though I've sold the horses, I would rather not part with them, and I'll give you 5/. to be off the bargain." The defendant did not my much, hut ssaemeal to laugh at the idea ; in a few days afterwards Lieut. fodder went to London ; • itness had seen him subsequently, and he said the horses had been driven out a few times, but that they did not step quite together. Ile made no other complaint. Cross-examined—Mrs. Arthur is reported to be a good judge Ma horse, hut witness does not know Vette ever bought one for the colonel. Witness is a " little bit of a whip," but has not yet acquired the knowledge of horse-dealing. The defendint sometime, had three or four horses at the barrack stahlee, and the colonel had three or four chargers. Mr. Austin Cooper Shaw, the veterinary surgeon to the regiment, deposed to the condition of the horses from the time of their purchase ; Governor " was bought in No- vember, 1818, and at that time he had a bony deposit on the iuferior extremity of the large pastern of the near lore leg. " Gaoler " was bought in September, 1819, and from the natural formation of the foot, witness said that the horse war likely to go lame, if used for the saddle, but for harness he would be found very . serviceable. Considers Mrs. Colonel Arthur .111 excellent judge of horses, and had often received indructions from her in reference to those belonging to the colonel. Ile had distinctly certified the two horses in question to he unsound at the time of their purchase, although for carriage purposes their action might he good for a very long period. James Lidbury, a private in the 3rd Dragoons, stated that he was acting as orderly for the colonel on the 14th May, during the illness of his regular servant. On that day Colonel and Mrs. Arthur, with the defendant, Cornet Tedder, were at the stable, and he heard Colonel Arthur say, " Mind, I don't warrant these horses, and it will be more satisfactory to have a veterinary opinion on them." To this Cornet redder reylied, "Oh no, no, Fin quite satisfied." Serjeant-major Vialls pmiluced the regimental book, en which the ages of the officers and the horses are entered. The defendant was born on the llth of March, 1826, and the colonel hail been an officer 22 years. This closed the plaintiff's ease. Mr. Watson, in a long address on behalf of the defen dant, contended the suppression of the fact of the un soundness of the hones at the time of the gale amounted in the eye of the law to fraud; but here was the commander on a cavalry regiment, with his wile, selling a pair of horses to a young officer, which WM known to be unsouad, and soon proved wholly worthier; and it was the duty of the colonel to afford every pars titular in connexion with those horse., and give the your. man full opportunity of judging as to the bargain he making. 'The learnol counsel made some strong com ments on a passage in one of the colonel's letters to Mr. Tedder, wherein, an commanding officer, he advised this latter to be cautious how he acted in the budgie., leae s in the legal proceedings which it was his intends Id irk .fitute, the defendant's character should be implicated as an officer and a gentleman. At one of the inspections Of : the regiment, the question Was put to Colonel Arthur, the plaintiff, by General liretherton, " Do you sell hems to young officers, or permit officers to sell them w each other 3." To which the colonel replied in the de. gative, being, of course, well aware of the inconvenient* to the service which such transactions would caul.° ; and he i h. 41 t. Citmcnr. oiF )funntx.

Mrs. Halliday died no the day after the birth of the child from the %dints of thew injuries. radir these circumstances, Mr. Cooke, who was re tained tier the prisoner, declined to edam's the jury, sub mitting to a verdict of manslsu•thter.

Mr. Butt, with whom was Mr. Stone, appeared for this J plaintiff+ ; an I Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Montague Smith I for the defence. Mr. Stone opened the pleadings. The plaintiffs were ' John Jones Heed and Stephen Stephens lteed, and the de fendant, John Lilley. The action was brought for the re- Covery of the hire of a ship, for money paid to the use of the defendant, and upon an account stated. The defendant hail put three phas upon the record. Ist, The general haw ; 2nd. payment; and 3rd, a act of Mr. Butt stated the case. The plaintiffs in the action, fir John Jones nerd and Mr. Stephen Stephens Reed, were shipowners, carrying on their business in the city of Bristol. and the defendant • no reliant and shipowner of considerable respectability, residing at the port of Liver pool, and the plaintiffs had been compelled to bring the present action to nciover from the defendant a sum of money in which ho had become indebted to them for the hire of one of their vessels. The eirromstances of the case were briefly these:— The plaintiffs, in ISIS, were the joint owners of a brig called t h e Maria Joan. At the latter end of the year ISIS, the vessel was in Liverpool, and Mr. John Reed, who was there also, entered into contract rith Mr. Lilley, the de fendant, which resulted in it charter party under the term+ of a filch the Maria Jane was to take cargo from Liverpool to the coed of Africa, and bring back a cargo of 113131 oil.

The owner. were to find the ship in naval stores, crockery, cooking utensil., &e., i and to properly equip her for sea, and the charterer agreed tipsy and provide fur the entire crew, the port charges and charges for outward lights, 4 , 144 of loading, unloading, &c.

The amount to the credit of the government, it will be seen, has been augmented by the large amount of full three lquarters of a million. According to the official returns published in the Gazette of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of all the private banks of England and Wales during the week ending the 2nd of August last, was 3,319,9451.; in the week preceding the amount was 3,373,7231. There is consequently a decrease of 53,7781. The note circulation of the joint-stock banks during the same week was 2,619,3.521., and the previous week's return being 2,679,8991., the decrease is showy to be 60,547/. On taking into consideration the active circulation of the Bank of England, which in the week in ques tion was 20,345,6951. (being 170,34.51. less than the week preceding), we find the aggregate note circula tion of England and Wales to be 26,264,9921., which shows a decrease of 284,6701. as compared with the returns for the previous week, ending the 26th of July.
