Now lips seated byr her Majesty _Deana Maria. The plaintiff entered promedino in the Mayor's Court, ilerdbig to the cus tom of London, as tf the defendant was subject to the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor's Court, and as if the cause of action had arisen within that jurisdiction, and there wee a summons to ' appear and plead to this demand. A return had bees made by the Sergeant at Mace, that the defendant had nothing within the City and Liberties of London by whisk she could be summoned, nor was she to be *pond widths the lame, whereupon the plaintiff swore an affidavit, in which he stated that the defendant was, as such sovereign, indebted to him in that gum for money had and received by her Majesty for and on behalf of the nation of Portugal, and for the use of the same, and for money taken by her, and fag money belonging to him taken by her from hie banker, and appropriated as aforesaid, and for interest on those muse. The defendant being called, and not appearing, the plaintiff alleged, by his attorney, that a person named in his affidavit had money, goods, and chattel , of the de fendant in his heads, and he prayed process; to attach these articles, so that the defendant might be com pelled to appear and answer the plaintiff in his suit then.. Upon this afSelavit the judge of the court awarded au attachment against said money, goods, and chattels, and directed the Serjeant-at-Mace to attach the same—a direttiou which that otScer executed, leaving a notice of the purpow for which this attachment had been issued. This notice finowing the term. of the affidavit, described her most faithful Majesty sa the reigning 'sovereign and supreme head of the nation of Portugal, and recited that she had money, goal, and chattels in the hands of the garnishee, and that he attached the same that the defend ant might appear and answer the plaint of the said plaintiff, and he directed the garnishee not to part with the same. without the order and license of the court. On the second day of Easter Term • rule for a prohibition was applied fur and was obtained on behalf of the Queen of l'ortugal, and cause has since been shown against that rule and against a similar rule obtained in a ease where an attachment had been issued from the Lord Mayor's Court, against the goods of her most catholic Majesty the Queen of Spain. On these arguments various questions were discussed. in to which we do not now intend to enter, as we think, that upon simple and clear grounds, there has been an excess of jurisdiction against which therefore a prohibition ought to issue. In the first place we found our opinions upon general principles as set forth in the case of the Duke of Brunswick r. the King of Hamlett, decided in the House of Lords, where it was hill that an action would not lie in the English courts against a foreign potentate in respect of acts done by him in his public capacity and as the representative of the nation of which he was the head, and that no English court has jurisdiction to entertain complaint, of such a kind against a foreign sovereign. For such acts mire.% can only be obtained by application to the tribunals of the country where the acts arc done or by the remonstrances or sets of the goverment of the country of which tli, complaining party is a subject. To cite a foreign sovereign in the courts of another countryiseontrary to the laws of natinns, and to the institutions of our coun tyy. The statute 2 tnne was passed merely as declaratory of the law of nations recognised and enforced by the municipal law of England, and in that act all process by which the person of an ambassador or of his do mestic servant is restrained, and all process directed against his pods and chatted. are declared to be null and void. On neession of the outrage which gave rise to this statute, !And Heft wax press tit at the deliberations of the Privy Council, and with his sanction 17 persons were committed to prison, that they might be prosecuted by information at the suit of the Atterney-Genefal. We yenned therefore doubt that in the opinion of that great judge the sovereign of the ambassador would have been entitled to the same protection as that which was afforded to his ambassador the minister who represented him. Let we we then what Was done by the Lnrd Mayor on the plaintiff entering his court and complaining of the defendant as the sovereign of Portugal and the supreme head of the Portuguese nation. He summoned her to appear before him ; and, she being called, and nut appearing, be, with • full knowledge that she was an independent foreign earereign, booed an attachment against her to compel her to appear. Under this attachment all her mimic., goods and effects were ordered to be seized, that they might be confiscated Or applied to the satisfaction of the plaintif: demand, without any proof of the correctness of that demand preibously given to the court. The defen dant could only get rid of this attachment by putting in hail to the suit, or by rendering herself in person in the court and answering the plaint. The attachment applies, not only to all the money, goods, and effects in the hands of the garnishee at the time. but to all these that may come into hie hands on behalf of the defendant, and the process has been ettelieuely framed so as to include all the property of the Queen. It Appearr, that the plaintiff hail entered a formal complaint against the defendant in her individual capacity, and that the garnishee had appeared and pleaded in that suit, and that the jury hail found a verdiet fur all the funds in his hands belonging to the defendant in her public capacity. IC the garnishee was now to appear the verdict wed be against him, for any funds in his hands belonging to her. If, therefore, any money raised by lean or way munition* of war belonging to the defend ant should he Camel within the ('ity of London, they would be liable to he s axed as the goods and effects of the defendant. It !nee b right that we should mention two uuthorities which we have not met with in our researches, as they Vela at varianee with our opinions. One of them is Bynker stock, who certainly seems to justify a proceed nut of this kind, but this author, who is well kuown for his antipathy to crowned heads and to monarchical itevernment, admit. that other jurists differ from him, and goes on to cite a decision to his noun country which destroys his doctrine. In 1(115 three ships of war of the kiugdoni of Spain were arrested in the port of Flushing that the party arresting them might obtain satisfaction fur nine claim which he hail against the King of Spain. and the King was cited before the judges of Flushing to answer this claim, but on the remonstrances of the Spanish unthaesselor the States-Oeneral, in the month of December of that year, issued a decree directing theta to be liberated and to have free leave to depart, and at the same time the States sent a representation to the Spanish government, explaining all that had been done, lost what had happened should he thought necessary to render it necessary to resort to reprisals. And, according to the law of nations, there is no doubt that reprisals would W the appropriate remedy; for the subject of the complaint which has been made the subject of this action in the Lord Mayor's Court, and that there is no judicial authority fur the seizure of the public property of a sovereign, like that of the private property of an individual. The other au thority is in Seldon's "Table Talk," where it is said that the King of Spain was outlawed in Westminster Hall, in a snit in which a men.hant had recovered costs against him. "We advised to have him outlewed, sod en he was. As soon as the °oedemas. heard of it he sent the nosey ; as, while the outlawry lasted, his master could not hare the benefit of the laws of this country •• The fact here stated seems to have been Credited by Lord Thurlow who in the case of the Nalyab of the Carnatic, where he say. that the King of Spain has been outlawed in the courts of this country, as it is related by Seddon, hut lie aside that the outlawry was bad enough. But we find that other authors have doubted the fact, and one of them says if true, it was a strange case, and was not maintainable. in law; and that an extract from an amusing book of anecdotes is not to be considered au authority in law. The statement is not authenticated by Seldom. and is merely • loose report of • gossiping anec dote. It cannot be accurate, fur the outlawry is first supposed to have been for nonpayment of the costs, and then for nut appearing, and it could not be so Weer:l ing to the usual practice of Westminster Hell. We have caused search to be made for the record, but none is to he found. The attachment issues and the party does not appear at the ('aunty Court, or the Court of the Hustings, but here it issues against a party for not appearing without any inquiry whether the party is a native or not a proceeding that would tr clearly irregular. Till the statute 2 Win. IV. e. 39, there could nut be any outlawry without steeples , which could nut issue against a peer of parliament, or a number of the House of Commons, much less against • foreign sovereign. In an outlawry all personal property of the person outlawed beeornes forfeited to the Queen, ' whom is entitled to all his lands. Such a proccess cannot be applicable to a foreign sovereign, who must be sac posed to be in his own dominion, and who cannot be sued here but by a drawee of the laws of nations. The suits in which the King of Spain was concerned must have been actions by or ag smut him on faith of exchange given or received by him in his private capacity, for in such mat ters he might undoubtedly appear as a suitor in our courts. la • are before Stowell the same view of the matter was taken, though, from the fact of a compromise having been entered into. no formal judgment was given. There • Dutch ship of war was libelksel for salvage. Ohj, etion was made that no suit in respect of such a matter could be maintained ag ains t the Kalif of the Netherlands, but, on the other Wad. it was insisted that the plaintiff being in possession of the ship the proceeding was to be considenvl as in elm. Lord Stowell, however, saw such inseparable difficulties in the attempt to asses, the damages and calculate the salvage, that he made • representation to the Dutch government, sad the matter was honourably referred to arbitration. We an of opinion that, notwithstanding the dictum of Byakersteek, and the supposed outlawry of the King of Spain, that the award of attachment in this ease was an excess of jurisdietion. Whether the cause of action arose out of the jurisdiction is, in oar opinion, not a material to be considered in this case, though we think it right to say that the process can only be properly issued when the cease of action arises within the jurisdiction of the court, and that no agreement o f counsel can affect this:objectioo. The only remaining obiection ia, that this application has been made before tile 'defendant has ap peared in the court below. We think that that is no ground of objection to the application. When an inferior court ex ceeds the lambi of its jurisdiction, it is guilty of a con tempt to the crown, and may, therefore, he prohibited by this court. The contempt in this case is one calculated to create disagreement between her Majesty and an ally, said is, therefore, • contempt which we are Wand to correct. Rule abs olute.

Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the court in this ease. His lordship said the t nearly resembled the one which hail just been di ided. There were, however, two points of difference, inasmuch as, first, the pl a intiff's affidavit oa which the foreign attach ment Mused did not Istate that the action was brought against the defendant as supreme head of the Spanish nation • and, secondly. the application for the prohibition was asi d e, not by the defen dant. bat by the garnishee. The *tact of the AM point was, however, done away with by the plaintiff's subsequent affidavit, in which he stead that his claim was in respect of certain Spanish Bonds, which had hoes issued in the same of the Woos. ander We noctena oda deems et the till Cortes. There was, therefore, the same palpable want of *Whim as existed in the fO7IIIIIIT cam. The only other zi:ielima was, whether tba court would grant the writ on on of the garnishee, who it appeared had pleadmVra this Lord Mayors Court.

PARISH OFTICLIS. CII•PLAIN OF WORLEOCAIt. RIOINA (El-PARTE Wooer) _o. Tint GOVIDXOII.I AND DIANCIODS or ST. WASTMINITIR. Mr. Tomlinson moved fur a rule calling upon the governors and directors of the poor of the pa rish of St. James's, Westminster, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, commanding them to admit the Rev. William Wright, D.D., into the work house of the said parish for the performance of his duties as chaplain. An order had been made by the Poor Law Com missioners, containing a series of regulations for the parish of St. James's ; and, among the rest, for the appointment of officers, and including a chaplain, whose duties were de scribed in the orders. One of the regulations provideffilthat the chaplain should hold his office for life, or until he should resign, or be removed by the Poor Law Commis sioners ; and another regulation provided that the afore said should apply to any officer appointed by the directors, though such officer should have been appointed before the order came into force. Dr. Wright bad been ap pointed chaplain about five years ago by the governors and directors, under the powers of certain local acts which vested the entire authority in the governors and directors. The appointment had been renewed annually, but substan tially it was considered an appointment for life, end was continued till the opening of the present year, when Dr. Wright was informed by the clerk to the governors and di rectors that his services would be dispensed with in future. Advertisements were then put forth by the director*, and Dr. Wright believed another chaplain had been appointed, but he (Dr. Wright) had declined becoming a candidate, as he believed the Wilco was full, and wished rather to wait for the decision of this court as to his right to the office. The governors and directors had frequently echoed to admit Dr. Wright to the workhouse, and had expressed their readiness to take the opinion of this court as to their right. The order of the Poor Law Commissioners had not been brought up by certiorari, and therefore it was necessary to apply for a mandamus. The question now intended to be raised was fully argued in the M. Giles 's case, but it was not decided, the court being of opinion that in that case the Poor Law Commissioners had exceeded their powers. The Poor Law Amendment Act pre the commissioners power to direct the appointment of paid officers, and it had been decided that a chaplain was included under that description of persons. The question, then, was, whether the commissioners had the power to make the regulations which they bad issued, by one of which it was provided, as above stated, that the rules relat ing to the continuance in office of the officers should apply to any officers who might have been appointed by the governors before the order came into force. If the commis sioners had the power, Dr. Wright was entitled to the in terposition of the court in his favour. The learned counsel then called the attention of the court to the eth and Gth Will. IV. c. 76, which regulated the power of the com missioners. Lord Campbell said tho learned counsel might tako a rule. Rule nun granted. BAIL COURT.—YESTERDAT.

Mr. James moved fora rule to show cause why a criminal informatinn should not be filed against G. De Faire and John Griffith, the registered proprietors, printers, and pub lishers of the Bucks CAronick, for a libel published in that paper on Mr. John Strutt, an attorney of this court. The libel, which was published on the 3rd inst., charged Mr. Strutt with having been guilty of forging u petition which had been presented to the House of Commons against the return of Mr. Bothell, who was a candidate at the last election fur the borough of Aylesbury. A vacancy arose in the borough in consequence of Mr. Calvert having been un seated, and Mr. B2thell was returned on the 10th April. Mr. William Busfeild Ferrand was also a candidate, and he retained Mr. Strutt, who went to Aylesbury with a view of preparing himself to enter upon a scrutiny, when It was arranged that a p-tition should be presential to the House of Commons against the return of Mr. Bethel', and some parties were to be sent to Mr. Strutt for the purpose of petitioning. On Saturday, the 26th April, a person called Bradford, who it was stated hail voted for Mr. Ferrand, was sant up from Aylesbury, and gave Mr. Strutt instrue tions to prepare the petition, furnishing him with evidence of what had occurred at the election. It was then arranged that Bradford and some other electors should petition, and Bradford gays Mr. Strutt instructions that, in case of his not returning to London on Monday, the 28th April, to get the petition ready, and he alms gave Mr. Strutt the most distinct authority to sign and present that petition on his behalf on the Monday, that being the last day on which it could he presented. Brad-' Gerd left town on the Saturday, and Mr. Strutt prepared the petition. as instructed, and hail a consultation with his counsel on the subject. Bradford had not returned on the Monday by four o'clock, and Mr. Strutt accordingly signed the petition, which was presented by Lord Mandeville. In a short time Mr. Strutt received information which led hint to believe that Bradford was a person on whom he could nut rely, and he took immediate steps to withdraw the petition, which was done on Wednesday, April 30. On the 3rd of May, the article complained of appeared in the Burks Chronicle. The libel, which was of great length, charged that Mr. Strutt had presented the petition with a view of intimidating Mr. Bethel', and extracting cash from his pocket ; and it insinuated that Bradford had not given any directions to Mr. Strutt; and that his name to the petition had been forged. All these allegations and insinu ations were most positively denied in thu affidavits of Mr. Strutt, his partner, Mr. Cunningham, and Edwards, his clerk. Itule nisi granted. IN RR THE SOUTH DRVON R ttI.WAY.—MANDANICS. Mr. Stephens renewed his application in this ease which was mentioned yesterday, hut ho admitted that h e could nst find any similar case in which a mandamus had been granted. Mr. Justice Wightrnan said the present ease went further than auy other to which allusion had been made ; he would rot, therefore, grant the rule; but the learned counsel might mane his application in the full court.

The facts of the case have al ready been fully stated. COURT OF EXCHEQUER -YESTERDAY. .11uOut r,. vw rata Jars • Moo Lain CONNI.N JCBT. This was the first sitting in Hilary Term. The paper contains 30 causes, 2 being marked fur special juries. Only ti of these are new causes, the others being remaneta. This it a list much below the average of recent years. SIIATTUVIL O. CARDIN AND ANontEIt.—OPLNINO BANILLICS ACCOUNT. This was an action by an attorney against the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex to recover a sum of about lsBi. for certain goods which the plaintiff contended had been im properly sold under an execution. Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Skinner were for the pLaint4 and Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Hind for the defendants. The case presented few facts to distinguish it from this clam of cases, if we except the evidence of one witness, which gives a curious insight into " business transactions" occasionally carried on in this great metropolis. The oc tal was brought against the aberiff,, but in reality against the Royal British Bank, who indemnified the sheriff's oMcer for selling the goods belonging to one Harrison despite an execution which had been pot in by the plaintiff. The facts will be apparent from the evidence of Harrison. Bramwell, for the defence, submitted that the Plaintiff's execution was fictitious—got up to defeat the just claim of the British B an k. A mongst other witnesses, he called Harrison, printer, in New Exchange -court, who said —I know a person named Lee. He came to my office, and offered to assist me in my business by enabling me to open a banking account, stating tint after a short time I might apply to open a discount account. Lee advancsd me 1001., with which I opened an account at the Royal British Bank. I subsequently got bills discounted there from time to time ' in the fir s t i ns t ance to t h e amount of 2001., then 2601., and lastly 3001. Lee received the whole produce of these die counts. The bills were drawn on various persons. Lee seat them all ready, and I pared them to the bank. There was no value as between me and any of the parties whose names appeared on the bills. I called on Lee on the silt , t of the bills, and he said I nee d b e un d er no appretie as all the bills out would be faithfully hos:mural Having some apprehensions, I again went to Lee, and saw him in company with a person named Drew. This was ea a Sun day, and we agreed, on the proposition of Lee, that we should go to Mttock on t following da. We Mir Shute& In a the course o f we w ek. Le v i asked me the value of my stock. I said that probably at a forted sale it would realise about 2001. Lee said be was indebted to Shattock for heavy law expenses, and suggested that a bill should be given to him for 1601. that was, that it should be given by me to Lee, and by Lee to Shattock, so as to come on my materials. It was arranged that Shattock should wait to see what the bank would do, so that if the bank t oo k p rocee di ngs on the bills, he could step in with a prior execution. He asked if I had got a Ifriend who would purchase the materials under the sheriff ? I said no; whereupon he said ho would raise the money to I save them for a time, so as to enable sae to go on with Sanas. as snot Um tits antic& of Ahattoek. J se, -A the bank from the Court of Common Pleas. Soon after an execution was put in at my private residence in Camden town. I immediately went to Bhattock and complained that he had not protected my furniture by allowing the bank to come in. Ile said it was of no consequence ; that the bank would sec they could get little, and would be glad to withdraw. By his advice I was out of the way for three weeks. I was, however, advised to go to the bank and state the whole truth, which I accordingly did. It appeared from the testimony of other witnesses, that the bank put in an execution at the money office the day after the writ was put in by Shattock, but the attorney for the bank having made promise of indemnification, the f igis were sold for the benefit of the Bank, and realised Mr. Humfrey said he could not contend against the evi dence of Harrison. A verdict was therefore entered for the defendants, but leave was given to the plaintiff to move the court on a point raised with respect to tnc pleadings. BEM:CLERK C. rOWILL.—WnIT OF Enuott or OFT- LAWIVr. This was a writ of error iortCrersing an outlawry. Mr. Powell was for the plaintiff in error, and Mr. T. Jones for the defendant. Mr. Bovill said the writ was brought by Mr. 11. W. Beauclerk against the defendant as administrator of a person named Edwards, to reverse the outlawry on a writ of savifoi his on an execution in a suit in the Court of Ex chequer for 5001., by Edwards e. Beauclerk, on the ground that the defendant (now the plaintiff in error) was beyond seas at the tine. Ile should prove that at the time of sussing the e.re . yi freios (15th January, 1850) Mr. Beau clerk was In Belgium, and that he had not subsequently been in this country. Charles Garrett, servant to Mr. Beauclerk, said that gen tleman left England in October, 1819, and has not been in England since. Witness had been his body servant during the whole period. Mr. Beauclerk took up his residence at Brussels. On the 12th of June last he was away for two days at Spa. Ile returned to Brussels, and t oo k his family to Spa, where they rernair.ed for two months. Wit ness accompanied the family, and only lost sight of Mr. Beauclerk for one dav, when he went to Brussels. Mr. Baron Parke directed the jury to find fur the plain tiff in error. Verdict accordingly. MACKAY r. RunrON.—ASsAULT.—DOSIESTIC DRAWLS'. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an assault. The defendant pleaded, firstly, not guilty ; secondly, that he was first assaulted by the plaintiff; and thirdly, that the plaintiff was assaulting one Sophia Wat son when he, the defendant, committed the assault com plained of. The damages were laid at 100/. Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. Prentice were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Montague Chambers for the defendant. Mr. Serjcant Shee stated the case to the jury. The plaintiff is an artist residing at 10, Bmiumont-strect, Portland-place, who Lin the habit of letting apartments in his house to lodgers. The drawing-room and two bed-rooms were let to a lady who passed as the wife of a Mr. Watson. It was sub sequently aseertaiued that Mrs. Watson was not "Mrs. Watson," and that "Mr. Watson" was Mr. Robson, the present defendant, a merchant in the City, and a man of wealth. On the 24th of December, Mr. Watson, or Mr. Robson, announced his intention to leave the lodgings; he was to go that day, but the lady was to remain till the end of the week. About ten o'clock at night the lady went out but returned again about half-past ten accompanied by Mr. Ito'ison. Shortly afterwards they b: gam a violent quarrel, and the plaintiff, who was sitting with his family at supper, went up stairs to see what was the matter. Ile knocked at the door and was told to come in. but the moment he opened the door the defendant struck him with his fist. That assault would not have been made the eubjeet of an action had not the defendant imme diately rushed down stairs and seized un iron bolt from the front door, with which be struck the plaintiff a violent blow on the temple, from the effects of which he suffered consi derably for some day. Fanny Cole, a little girl, then in the service of the plaintiff, corroborated the statement of the learned serjeant. She de scribed the defendant as a very little man; the plaintiff being a taller and stouter man. In the course of the strug gle the plaintiff said to the defendant that he had better go quietly out of the house at once. The defendant is rather old--perhaps about sixty. The plaintiff is about forty. Caroline Young, another servant, deposed that sealed letters frequently came addressed "John Itoboon, Esq.," which the iLimiliurt opened. On the night in question, as soon as Mr. Mackay opened the door Mr. Robron struck him with his fist. Mr. Mackay took hold of hint by the collar, and told him he should go out of the house that night. Robson said he would not go. Robson then went towards tho street door, and threatened wit ness that if she came near him he would " brain" her. He hail the bolt in his hand, and as Mackay was , coining towards blot in the hall he struck him on the temple with the bolt. It made a deep cut and much blood flowed from the wound. Witness then persuaded Robson to go up stairs, which he did, remarking that he would base given 100!. that this had not hammed. It appeared in the course of cross and re-examination that " Mrs. Wat son •' had that day made some complaint of having lost sonic money. This was communicated to Mr. Mackay. Mackay asked what he meant by saying that he had loot money; but Robson made no answer. Catch, a policeman, was called in after the assault, but refused to take Mr. Robson into custody, as he had not wit nessed it. Mr. Mackay was bleeding very much. Mr. Robson was not then present Mr. Mackay appeared to be quite sober, but "Mrs. Watson" was very drunk. (Laughter.) Win. Gregory, servant to a johmaster, had been em- Rployed to drive a brougham hired by the defendant. Mr. obson was re city gentleman about 45 or 46 years of age. (Laughter.) He frequently drove him to 10, Beaumont place, and took the lady out for a drive in the country. He did not know that he was Mr. Watson. (Laughter.) Mr. Robson had another lodging at 4, Craven-place, Strand. Mr. Chambers, in his address to the jury, suggested that according to the probabilities of things, the plaintiff was the first it:smaller. It was obvious from the testimony of the servant that Mr. Robson was endeavouring to flee down stairs from Mr. Mackay. It so happened that the bolt in the door was loose, and that he turned like a stag at bay to defend himself. Was it likely that he would deliberately have gone in search of a weapon to the bolt of the door? lie could not call any witne-sew, for, after the evidence of the policeman, it was hardly to be expected that Mrs. Watson would have a very clear recollection of the events of the night. The learned Baron left it to the jury to say whether the assaults had been proved, and if so, to consider what da -1 magcs would be a fit compensation for the injury which tho plaintiff hail sustained. The jury found fur the plaintiff—Damages, 101. WESTMLNSTER COUNTY COURT.-YEir ERDAY. gamut P. timer, EP.. imam WATTA T. Tin UNION BANK OF LONDON, ARGYLL-PLACE, IitORNT-STREET.—Dtsrezzo BANKING ACCOUNT. The plaintiff in this case sought to recover the sum of IN., paid in to his account in July but, by a relative, which sum had not been placed to his credit by the directors of the bank. The plaintiff has had an account with the bank from its establishment in Argyll-place. He had given per mission to a ludy named Davis, a near relative, whenever she came to town, and was desirous of placing the cas h s h e might bring with her in safety, to pay it into the bank to his account. Several transactions of this sort had occurred, all of which correctly appeared in the pass-book, with the exception of a payment on or about the month of July last. The error was not detected until the commencement of the present year, when the plaintiff was applied to for the balance in his hands. From the account ren dered of the various payments to account, a n d the various cheques received, the plaintiff discovered that the Isl. paid to the bank in July did tot appear in his pass book. lie applied to the bank, but could obtain no trace of it from their books. He went with the lady who paid the money in, and explained the circumstance fully to the managing clerk, who put many questions to the lady, for the purpose, as he said, of assisting to trace out the error. The manager was told at the time by the lady who paid in the money that she could not recollect the precise date of the payment, or the exact description of the money ; but to the best of her belief the one was in July, and the other in bank notes and gold. It was also stated that two ladies accompanied her to the door of the bank in Argyll-place, who could prove that she went to pay in, and not to receive, money. The manager requested to be furnished with all the particulars that could be brought together, promising that every exertion should be made to detect the error, if any had been mule by the bank. The plaintiff shortly afterwards called at the bank with additional evidence, showing that the money must have been paid in sometime in July or the beginning of August. He was told to put his statement in writing, and it would be laid before the di ' rectors,who would take the circumstances into consideration. The plaintiff called at the hank at the appointed hour, and was then told that the directors positively refaied to pay the money. Hence arose the proceedings at the court. Evidence was then given by three witnesses, the lady who paid in the money another lady who went with her to the bank, and a third lady from whom the actual sum had been received. The first witness said the money was taken from her, not by the regular cashier, but by some person who appeared to come from the back of the office ; that no memorandum of any kind was given to her ; that nothing more took place between the person who took the money and herself than that she handed the money over and stated the name of the party to whose account the money was to be placed. When she had asked on • former ocesaion for a receipt she had been refused one as unnecessary and contrary to the custom of the bank. Other evidence corroborative of the statement of the wit ness in all the material particulars was given by plaintiff and vritnemes. For the defence Mr. Johnson called the cashiers of the establtshment, to prove that the books had been searched, and th►t no trace of the 1111. could be found. Oa crow-examination it was elicited that errors were • -2,-- e .q N... A agree upon the balance every evening. If any deficiency I was found, the cashiers must mako is up out of their pockets. It was not stated what was done with an over plus, should any at any time be found. The cashiers also stated that, in ease of pressure of business or absence, some of the clerks would give assistance in receiving money from customers, and that it was the duty of these assistants to pay over the money so received to the cashier imme diately. The manager (Mr. Clack) said the books had been care fully examined, but nothing found to justify the belief that the 181. had come into the bank treasury. He admitted ho was cognisant of the practice of any deficiency being made up by the servants of the establishment. He recollected the interview with the plaintiff and his sister. The lady was unable to recollect the precise date, placing the pay ment at ono time in July and at another in March. The plaintiff's sister was recalled, and she positively de nied that she had varied from her first statement, or had given two incompatible dates. Mr. Parry here said the plaintiff was anxious to state that ha had a witness in court to depose to this fact, that on one occasion a sum of 51. was paid too much on his cheque, and that the party who returned the overpaid money to the bank some days afterwards was hardly thanked for his pains. The judge considered that such evidence was not ma terial. After the respective counsel had addressed the bench on the case, The judge said there could be no doubt an error had been committed, but it was impossible to believe, after the evidence that had been brought forward, that the error was on the side of the plaintiff's witnesses. The ease was a proper one for that court, as the directors were naturally desirous of having the integrity of their servants fully established. Verdict for the plaintiff, 181. and costs. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Thomas Codes, John il'Aray, and Char/es Blake, boys sent out by idle parents to importune respectable passengers for charity, were charged before Mr. Henry with having been in the mud near Hungerford-bridge with the intention of exciting the compassion of ladies and gentlemen uu the bridge, from whom they solicited contributions. Mr. Henry severely rebuked the father of one of the prisoners, who was present, and pleaded ignorance of the fart. The prisoners were then committed to the House of Cor rection for seven days. WORSHIP-STREET. Andrew Mangan, a superannuated colour sergeant in the East India Company's service, was charged with an assault upon his wife, by which her life was placed in danger. Cotton, H 60, stated that while on duty in Whitechapel about one o'clocc that morning, his attention was attracted by the violent screams of a woman. proceeding from an adjoining court, and on reaching tho spot he found the prisoner's wife stretched upon the pavement, with nothing on but her night dress, and struggling to release herself from the grasp of her husband, who was holding her down by the hair of the head, and beating her unmercifully about the head and face. lie succeeded with some difficulty in forcing hint from the woman, who was in such a state of exhaustion and sidkring that she was un able for some time to answer his inquiries, but on partially recovering herself she informed him that the prisoner had dragged her out of bed, and after kicking her about the body till she was a complete mass of bruises, and biting her severely in different parts of her person, he ultimately Hung her into the street, and was in the act of renewing his attack upon her, when witness fortunately came up and rescued her from further ill-treat ment. On hearing his wife's statement, the prisoner made no attempt to deny any portion of it, but uttered the most violent invectives against her, and threatened that if she ventured to give him into custody it should be the last charge she would ever be able to bring forward. The officer added that lie had seen the injured woman that morning, who appeared to be in a very precarious state, and was wholly unable to attend to give evidence in sup port of the charge. The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was re manded for a week, to afford time fur ascertaining the re sult of the injuries his tide had sustained. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1851. Ai, sad it was suggested that I should procure a bill dump two months back. I could not obtain one, but on oho "glowing evening Leo produced an old stamp ready MI, accepted by a man named Coles, for 160/. This e at on the 14th or 16th of November last. The bill was at three months, and was dated the 12th of August, so as to fall due on the 15th of November. I endorsed it to Lee, and Lie passed it over to Shattock. A day or two after I went to Shattock's office, and was served with • writ. Attended, and, instructed by Lee, I entered ap pearance at the Exchequer-office two or three days after I revived the writ. I had no notice of dishonour. I did not plead that. I took no step, but allowed them to go on. I have seen Coles ; but he owed me nothing, nor did I owe him anything ; neither did I owe Lee anything. At the time the writ was served Shattuck said it was a friendly transaction. On Christmas-eve I was served with a writ by MARKETS.
