Tax EAST LANCASHIEE RAILWAY COHPASIT V. ETTES TIELIL—SILLING LAND TO A RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought against the defendant as an agent of a gentleman named Turtle to recover the sum of 100 i., which had been paid to the defendant as a deposit on recount of sonic land which the plaintiffs had contracted to parehase of Mr. Turtle. It appeared that the plaintiffs usgelmed some land to build a s ation, and for other pur poses, and knowing that when railway companies wiring to buy land they were asked enormous prices, they put forward a Quaker gentleman named Bradshaw, the publisher of " Bradshaw's Railway Guide," es the ostensible purchaser. Mr. Bradshaw employed a Mr. Addshead, a land agent, to obtain the re quired land; and he agreed with Mr. Ettenfield, the de fendant, as agent of Mr. Turtle, that the company should give 2.21/01. fur some land which was situated in the town of Salford. Upon the trial, the jury found that Mr. Etten field had acted unfairly towards his principal, Mr. Turtle, in agreeing to sell the land for 2,2001., when he knew that 2,6001. could have been obtained for it. It appeared that upon this fact coming to Mr. Turtle's knowledge, and that the company were the actual purchasers, he refused to carry out the contract, whereupon the company sued Mr. Etten field to recover the paid to him as a deposit, and 'suc ceeded in getting a verdict against him. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Williams at the last astliSCO held at Liverpo:l. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., now moved for a rule to show why the verdict should not be set aside, and a nonauit en tered. The ground of the learned counsel's motion was, that there was not sufficient privity between the plaintiffs and the defendant in the transaction to entitle them in law to recover the deposit money. Although Mr. Ettenfield might have received the 1001., and the contract had been rescinded, yet the defendant was only liable to his pricei pal Mr. Turtle, and the railway company could not sue him for money hail and received. The court granted a rule. LEETE r. THE GETAHANIILIFE ASIICHANCE SOCIETY.— LIFE Pouctes. This action was tried before Mr. Baron Parke, at the sit. tings in Middlesex after Trinity Term last, when &verdict was found for the defendants. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the ground of misdirection. The action was brought by the executor of the late Mr. Odes Poynder Clements, whose life had been assured in the office of the defendants fur 3.51.8. The policy was founded upon a de claration in the usual form, made and signed by the de ceased on the 18th of December, 1849, at which time he was in his twenty-second year. In this document he made • declaration of the sound gate of his health and of has temperate habits. The defence set up to the action was that these statements were false, and that the assured was afflicted with a disease likely to shorten his life. This being the state of the facts, it became a question at trial on whose side lay the affirmative issue, whether the. plaintiff ought first to prove that his statements were true, or that the defendants should establish their untruth. Mr. Baron Parke decided that the defendants ought to begin • and the present rule was applied for on the ground that th; learned Judge in so deciding had taken a wrung view of the case. The Court were of opinion that Mr. Baron Parke was riaht in ruling that the defendants ought first to begin. The court and the jury would at first consider that the allegations of the plaintiff were true, and when they wore put in issue it was right that those who disputed them should prove they were incorrect. The plaintiff was nn more called upon to prove the truth of his allegations than a criminal was to prove his innocence of any offence with which he was charged. Rule refused. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. fIYMYR Ms. 11411111.10 MM Fa NI. PRIVATE. ARRANGEMENTd. In the matter of a petition which bad been presented under what are called the arrang ment clauses, hi, Honour said that a person who could not pay his own debts had no right to accept accommodation bills for others, and then seek to have his conduct huddled up under the private or. rsismement act. In this cast• the bankrupt owed 4,800'., and had PO assets, tamp , a claim under a marriage settlement of doubtful value. Persons who acted as he had done ots4lit to have their conduct investigated in a public court ; and the petition must be dismissed. IN Hr. litteNsittm.. This was the certificate meeting in the caw of W. Brun skill, silk and ribbon manufacturer, of ratcrnoster-row, trading under the firm of Charles and Wm. Brunskill. The accounts, which arc very calumnious, extend over 111 year prior to the failure in July last, and show a sum of 7,3301 due to trade creditors; ditto on bills 3,0211.; ditto cash, 4,000/.; ditto holding security, 23,1001. The assets were in good debts, 943/.; in cash, 834.; stock and ma. chinery, GAO/. ; plant, &c. at Battersea (held by a credi tor), 5,123'. The profits had been on sales, 2 29,GG4/. ; rents received, 5,5291. ; discount of bills, 7,0711. ; rebate of in terest, 4,490/. Trade expenses, 50,5331.; private ditto, 18,703/. (14.452/. of which was the expenditure of the de ceased partner) ; losses, 3,317/. Mr. Maynard, fur the assignees, o ff ered no opposition. Mr. Lawrance appeared on beh alf of the bankrupt, and applied for a first class certificate, stating that he was the last surviving partner of a very old firm. Mr. Charles Brunskill, who had married the daughter of Mr. Tinkler, the principal creditor, was the moneyed partner. Upon Mr. Tickler putting in force a security he hchl over certain plant and machinery at Ilatterma, Mr. Wm. Brunskill, the bankrupt, came to this court and put himself in the hands of his ere ditors. Mr. Maynard hail nothing to say against the bank, upCs conduct. Mr. Charles Brunskill had lived in very good style, and the creditors were thus led to believe that he was trading on has own capital, but instead of that the capital had been borrowed of Mr. Tinkler, who had held security for the last fifteen or twenty years. The point at issue was whether Mr. William Brunskill, being cognisant of this state of things, had been justified in continuing to be a partner and allowing the expenditure of his brother to continue. Mr. Lowrance said that the bankrupt considered the claim of Mr. Milder would never have been enforced. Ilia Honour observed that the expenditure of Mr. Charles Briaaskill was between 1,200/. and 1,300!. a year, the expenditure of the bankrupt having been very mode rate. The question was whether, in a commercial point of view, a partner ought not to make a stricter cognisance over the expenditure of his partner. In these heavy cases the court did nut like to conic, to an hasty conclusion, and he (the Commissioner) would decide upon the question of class in a few days. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—TUESDAY. Suet. Mx. 0 1011.10111[1 HOLSOTD. IN b.E T REGO. This was the certificate meeting in the case of W. Trego, who had been extensively engaged in the budding trade in Colemanatrect, City. Mr. Sheffield, fur the assignees, said there were several grounds on which he had to ask that the certificate of the bankrupt should not be immediately granted. The tint was bad book-keeping, owing to which it had been impossible for the creditors to ascertain the true state of his affairs, and, more especially, of his transactions with a Mr. Yeoman. The bankrupt claimed to be a creditor of Mr. Yeoman's for a large amount ; on the other hand, Mr. Yeoman claimed to be the creditor. 'I he next objection was, that the bank rupt having commenced busmen in January, 1845, with a capital of no more than 701., had entered into transactions of a magnitude far exceeding so limited a capital. In five years tney had amounted to 228,68614 and whilst his debts and liabilities were now 54,800/., his assets were so small, that, in addition to the dividend of 2s. Id. in the pound already declared, there would only be a further dividend of 2d. This state of things had been mainly brought about by extensive bill transactions, many of which were of an accommodation character. The bank rupt had entered into contracts in the most reckless man- Der, to the extent of 70,0001., and upon every contract there had been a considerable loss. Otis accounts showed trade and personal expenses to the amount of 12,1491., which, with losses, made a total of 20,813/. His accommodation transactions had been such that 2,721/. had been proved against the estate for acceptances in the hands of Mr. Cooke, 7,2141. as given to Mr. Crawehaw, and 6,750/. as in the bands of Mr. Yeoman. He submitted that the bank rupt's certificate must be suspended. Mr. Liuklater contended that Mr. Sheffield had not given a fair representation of the case, or done justice to the bank rupt. His losses had principally originated in this way : He had been under contract to build very extensive works at the time of the bankruptcy ; he had already expended considerable sums on them ; and their non-completion had led to a serious loss. At the time of the stoppage he had contracts amounting to between 150,000 L and 160,0001. A considerable sum had been received in respect of these con ' tracts, and there had been an actual loss of 20,000/., the assignees receiving about 7,000!. The bankrupt had con- ; tracted to build the City Prison at Holloway for 77,5001. ; ' he bad done work at the time of the failure amounting to , 61,100'. ; the amount received was 56,000/., so that the difference between the contract price and the amount re- k ceived was 21,000!., from which after deducting 14,0001. for the completion of the works, there would have been a sum ! of 7,0001. coming to the estate. The work., however, not being completed, the building committee of the City Prison had token it into their own hands; and the result was that the assignees received only 1,0001. in respect of that contract. He had also contracted to build the Lewes Gaol at a cost of 32,000/., but upon that contract, for the reasons before stated, there had been a loos of 1,5001. He was engaged in various other works at the time of the failure ; and the balance between what he would have received it he hod completed these contracts (and he had tried to make an arrangement to do so) and the loss, was upwards of 20,000/. That proved him to be • solvent man about or shortly before his bankruptcy. The assignees having had ' an ample opeortunity of investigating these trans actions, it would hare been more fair to state the facts as they were. The bankrupt had been preceded in the bu siness by his father, who had carried it on successfully ; and the bankrupt having thus inherited a good name and a flourishing business', thought to carry it on with equal suc cess. He had in no case entered into reckless contracts. He had had to deal with his father's creditors, had had the use of his father's stock, and had 3001. or 4001. of his own ; said during the course of his trading he bad received no less than 10,0001. from his father and the different members of his family. The father's business was what might be tuned et 13CsINESe VY THY. COURT.

It may not be in his power to remain here the whole day, and therefore any such motions for new trials must be inured at the sitting of the court. HALL C. Dvisins.—Tns INsOLVENT ACT. This was an action tried at the last assizes at Northamp ton, before Mr. Justice Maine, when a verdict was found fur the plaintiff fur .11.1 f. It anpeatist that a person called Bryant became insolvent, and, having petitioned the court fur relief of insolvent debtors, came up fur his examination no the 'Nth of May last hewn the Judge of the County Court. The plaintiff, who was a creditor, had given notice of opposition, in consequence of which an arrangement was entered into between him and the defendant, who was the solicitor of 'frying, by which the defendant agreed in writing to give the plaintiff MX it he would withdraw the opposition, which lie consented to du. Immediately after said, another creditor, also called Hall," appeared to oppose the insolvent, upon which the defendant claimed to have the agreement cancelled, but the plaintiff refused to do so. The opposition of the second creditor was unsuc cessful, and the plaintiff was appointed assignee to the estate. Subsequently the plaintiff sued the defendant upon his undertaking, and obtained a verdict fur the amount claimed. . . _ Mr. Sevyeant Millar now moved for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show e.u.e why 4 nensuit should not be enteral, or why the judgnit nt should net be arrested, in pursuance of Move given at the trial, upon the ground that the ar rangement between 111, plaintiff and defendant was op posed to the spirit and policy of the insolvent Act. The ' learned serjeant quoted the ease of Murray v. Reeves •• (ts barn. and Cress., 421) in support of his argument. Rule granted. BAUTLETT v. EVANA .-..SIAII:FATRATION OF A LIVIXO 111IIANT THE INCUSIBAXT WAS IX PRISON. This was au action for money had and received, tried at the last p at Guildhall before Lord Campbell, to which there was a plea of never iudebitd, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. It appeared that in 1516 the plaintiff, who was the incumbent of a living in Ilerefordshire, was convicted of a libel on his sister-in-law, and sentenced to two year.' insprisuniutut. The bishop of the diocese, whilst the plain tiff was incarcerated, issued a monition requiring him to live on his beuelice, and he being unable to du so the living was sequestrated and pi...cutest to the defendant. The sum of 139 f. fis. bad been paid over by the eccle siastical commissioners to the defendant, and the action was bruught to rceuver that alaaaal from him as the sequestra tes, a notice leasing been given to him in December, ISA that the •equestratton was Waal, and demanding an account of the prefits which lie had rt.. cived. 'lke learned judge held at the trial that until the contrary was proved, the seques tration must be taken to be legal, and that the money was nut paid to the use of the defendant. The object of the action was to try the validity of the sequestration, and his lordship was of opinion that there was no evidence of money had and received to the defendant's use, it having been paid to him as the sequestrator ; the plaintiff was conse quently nonsuited. Mr. Prentice now moved far a rule, calling on the defendant to show cause why the minuet should not be bet aside, and a new trial had; and submitted that the evidence proved a prima facie Calls un the part of the p!aintitf, and that the defendant was bound to put in the sequestration, and show it to have been legal. It did nut follow that be came the defendant received the money as sequestrates, that lie was so iu reality, or that the acquestration was one which the bishop had authority to issue. Lord Campbell said the question was, whether the law would not infer the sequestration to be legal, until some evidence was given to the .uni rary. There was presump tive evidence that it was legal, and the plaintiff had not made out any case. The plaintiff had not sued the person prima facie liable.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—YESTERDAY. &minis ix BMOC°. -11"11)ilt Cult, Juntas Jun*, MIL JUSTICI Maln 11, I. Jrnit %%111.LIAW., %IL inTICI TAIJOUPO. PRACTICE o' TUE COVILT. The court oat this n g at half past ten o'clock, and the CAivf Justice at once calm' upon the members of the bar in attendance to move, but u no motion was made their lordships remained for about feu minutes with nothing to do. _ _ The Chief Justice then addressed Mr. Sergeant Manning, as head of the bar, and reminded him that notice bid been already given that motions fur new trials would not be heard after the first four drys of tern, and the result would probably be that some motions could not be made. It would be most unjust that the whole of the first day of term and of to-day should be wasted, and then that the special paper should not come on in order, merely because gentle men did nut choose to make it convenient to be in court. Mr. Serjeent Manning said it frequently happened that instructions to loose were not delivered until the third or fourth day of term. The Chief Justice.—Then a very good action would lie against attorneys for negligence. Mr. Serjeant Manning—They thought they had until the fourth day. The Chiof Justice—Yes; but everybody could not have until the fourth day or the business would not commence until that time. Some few minutes further time was wasted, and Mr. Serjeant Bytes then came inta court and moved fur and obtained a rule' to reduce the damages in the case of Wickins T. Goatlef,'• and afterwards business went on in the usual way. LANCASTIII r. C .—THE PLAINTIFF Is Passes. Mrs. Lancaster, the plaintiff in this ease, applied to their lordships for a new trial upon the ground that the jury had given her a verdict for 4415. on!), an amount inadequate to the injuries which she had sustained. It appeared, however, that the ease had been tried during the sittings in last term, and that according to the rules of practice the time for making the present application had aspired. The Chief Justice said that the rules of court, whisk bad been made for general inconvenience, prevented the court from hearing the application, which should have been maple last term. COUR I' OF EXCHEQUER.-IIESTERDAT. Brrnwas i. 841101.—Banes Tea bleb Caw Harass. Ya. BAsan ?arcs, Ma. ties► Aummlow. ADD Ma, LSUT Li. This was an *ethos which was tried before Mr. Justice Ede at the last mien held fur the county of Hereford, when the plaintiff was nonsuited. The action was brought by an attorney against a Mrs. Jones, as the executrix of her husband, to mover the amount of a promissory note for 3.501., together with 171. lOs. fur interest. Mr. Whately, Q.C., now moved fur a rule to show cause why the 'sunsuit should not be set aside, and the verdict entered for the plaintiff. It ap larldthat the ground on which the plaintiff ben nensuitcd was, that the correspondence whisk had taken Oree between him and the/defendant with referenda to the dent, was , to be considered as privi leged cateashnicationa, inasmuch as Mr. Cleave had acted as the attorney for the defendant's husband. Mr. Instate Ede had taken this view of the matter, and had asammited the old reboot; but the times compelled the bankrupt to adopt a different line of trading. His transactions were tot those of an hour, but the legitimate trading of her years, during which period his contract& tic., had amounted to no less than 228,1.100/., upon which there would have been uo loss, but. un the contrary, after deducting all expenses for wages, &t., there would have been a large profit. it certainly . did appear that he had been taking large con tracts single-heeded, whereas ho ought to hove had assistance. He had engaged certain sob-contracton, and amongst them was Mr. Yeoman, who, although indebted to the estate of the bankrupt, claimed to be a creditor on hills to the extent of 4,0001. or 6,0001. Yeoman, who was a briekmaker, had dune work for the bankrupt before, and was to supply him with bricks for the purpose of completing the City Prison. The contract was that he ' should supply the bricks at 28s. per thousand, the bankrupt having previously paid 345. It was agreed that, in order to give Yeoman the means of furnishing the bricks, the bankrupt should give his acceptances for the amount, which I were forwarded in due course. Yeoman had failed to per form his part of the contract, not only is respect to that particular building, but as to some gas works at Fulham, and half-a-amen houses which were in course of erection at Bayswater. Yeoman had claimed to be • creditor, but at the time of the failure there was an open account between them. There was no pretence for the charge that these bills were accommodation acceptances,. they were given in anticipation of an amount to which Yeoman would have been entitled on the completion of his part of the contract. lie had gone on receiving the bankrupt's acceptances, but had nut delivered the bricks according to contract. lie had also failed to cart the bricks; and there were in his pos session, undelivered, at the time of the failure, no less than 600,000 bricks, which would have made • great (M -il:mum in respect to the account between them. It turned out that Yeoman hail works of his own going on somewhere else, and the bricks which ought to have been supplied to the bankrupt went to those work , . The bank ' rapt might have been un Rise in giving his acceptances too soon, but he was not to be harshly dealt with on that ac eount. He had been charged with bad book-keeping, but if all his varied transactions were not Entered in his books, there were materials from which the accounts could be vouched ; nothing was lett unvouched except the per sonal expenditure, the genuineness of which had not and could not be doubted. It would be impossible, on re ference to the bankrupt's extensive transactions, to suppose that a proper statement respecting them could appear in the books until their completion. The bankrupt had satis fied the assignees that he had given a true account of his transactions. He had been deceived by Mr. Yeoman, who might be made answerable for what he had done, and the amount of dividend paid on the bills proved ought to be refunded. There was • contract with Crawehaw, who was to deliver bricks of a superior quality for the City l'rison, so as to satisfy the surveyor there; he had tailed to do so ; and the bankrupt had a right to proceed against him, and compel him to do so if he could.' like fairly accepted these bills in the ordinary coursepf his businees, he ought not to be puuished on that account; otherwise merchants would he. liable to puniehineut every day, as it was a common practice to accept bills before even ti c bills of lading came to hand. The bankrupt had no means of knowing the state of his accounts with Mr. Craw shaw from day to day. It was said he had been a lung time iu making up his accounts; but he had suffered fur this in the very limited allowance which had been made to him. No doubt the bankrupt regretted having given the acceptances to Mr. Cooke and Mr. Alderman Gibbs; but he had derived no benefit from the transaction. It was mutter of surprise that a gentleman of the standing of Mr. Alder man Gibbs should allow these bills to be dishonoured. The bankrupt had been egregiously deceived in believing that Mr. Alderman Gibbs would net allow this liability to hill upon him; a gentleman holding a high public station might have thought it decent to retire these bills from cir culation. No doubt, it might he said, the bankrupt had no right to damage his estate by accepting bills fur other per sons but it was beyond doubt that when the bankrupt accepted these bills he did it with a full belief of Mr. Alder man Gibbs's solvency. It was evident that the bankrupt wuula have derived a considerable profit from his trading haul the sub-contractors fulfilled their contract. lie believed himself to have property worth 20,0001., whereby he would have been able to pay something like 40e. in the pound. Ilis stuck hail produced 2,500/. ; good debts, 4,7001. ; doubtful, 9,1481. ; his !ease, 7204 ; his furniture (which had cost upwards of 1,0000 hail sold fur ;401. ; and poli cies for idol. lu all the aortae were near 12,0001. Hu had sustained a loss of 3,3001. on some works ut Camden-town. Ile hail done work to the amount of 4,0001., when, owing to the failure of other parties, he was obliged to take the works on his own hands, and hence the loss. This was the commencement of his difficulties. But for the loss incurred in the realisation M his property since the failure, equal to 20,0001., there would have been • profit of 14,000/. on his trailing. Ile could not therefore he charged with anything like reckless trading. His expenditure hail been very moderate, 3,1611. in 54 years. He had adopted the course which was usual in busines.es like bus; he bad been guilty of no misrepre sentation to any creditor; his book-keeping, though alleged to be imperfect, had enabled him to produce vouchers for all his transactions ; and there was no pretence for saying that he had been guilty of reckless trading. He hail inherited a good name ; his friends had assisted hint to the amount of 10,0001.; his l/Wll property as well as that of Isis creditors had gone, but not in any rush speculations. Bankrupt, in examination, said, lie built the City of London National School, fur which Ald. Gibbs was treasurer, when the bill was sent in, he could not pay, and aske d witness to bike his acceptance ; he did so, and when it was duo was desired to renew it. A part was then paid, and ultimately he was drawu is to the amount of 1,1001. He believed the reason was that Alderman Gibbs was unable to make up his accounts with his owu society, and therefore asked him for accommodation. . . By the Court—l only accepted bills of Yeoman's in re spect of bricks supplied, not for money. Bat tor the non fulfilment of the contracts there would have been a net profit on the whole trading of 14,00 a Ills Honour said he should require to look through the accounts and contracts before giving judgment. If the ' bankrupt had merely accepted bills for goods supplied, lie could not be blamed ; but it was a very different thing it he had gone on accepting for the accommodation of other persons. The transaction had probably begun in the Pamir way, and had then gone on till it became a sort of general accommodation. IY ItE lIODINSON, This was the last examination meeting in the case of W.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—YEsTERDAY. • - Serous Mt Coannantenza PHILLIPS. IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM BARRETT. This insolvent, a law writer, applied to be discharged. Mr. Commissioner Phillips expressed his surprise at the schedule filed in this case. Nothing was owing to the insolvent, and he only owed one debt, and that was on a bill of ex change accepted for the accommodation of another party . It was elicited from the insolvent that he had accepted a bill for 160/. for a Miss Cooper, who was a lodging-house keeper at Brighton. Ile knew her funily, and was asked to accommodate her with his name. The bill was in the hands of a Dr. Shepherd, a Doctor of Divinity, and he was arrested. The doctor had visited him in prison, and made him a present of two sovereigns. Mr. Commissioner Phillips thought it was a strange CAW. Why did not the doctor let him out of prison? The insolvent said the doctor regretted he was there, but was fearful of the result from his wife if he let him out. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said it was a comical case, and ordered the insolvent to be discharged, with a caution never again to accommodate any persun with his name. IN TUE lATTEIt OF CITtiILE.4 FITZGERALD HIGGINS. This insolvent, who hail been some time is prison, applied to be dim.. l lllTged. Mr. 511U004.1 supported. Mr. Commissioner Phillips mentioned that the chief clerk of the court had received a letter from the Marquis of Sligo respecting the interest the insolvent had under the will of his grandfather. The learned couns.l had better read the letter. The latter was banded to the learned counsel. . . . It appeared that the insolvent had adopted several initial names, and had executed a legal instrument in the name of Charles Joseph Fitzgerald Harold Higgins. The word " Hawed," he said was put in as a jest, because his lather had won a race by a horse called Childe Harold. Mr. Commissioner Phillips questioned him on the subject, and asked if he was serious is saying that an attorney had described him by such a name, a part of which he bad adopted in a jest. The insolvent stated that he was not himself when he executed the deed. The attorney's name was Richardson he was called young Richardson, and his father old Richard son. (A laugh.) Mr. Commissioner Phillips said it would seem that the in solvent hail dropped one of his christkut names. The insolvent stated that when he had an account at Coutts's. lie signed his name "Fitzgerald Wiggins." He did not like the trouble to sign his name in full. Mr. Commissioner Phillips—Did not like the trouble to sign your name ! Many would be glad to have an account at Colitis's, and think it no trouble to sign their names at length. Ile was sorry to see the lame amount of debts owing by the insolvent, nearly 5,000/., about 8701. for which ha had no consideration. Mr. iir g oalivi;rrti:Wiiieaebts in the schedule. The 'insolvent bad raised money on property, and had not re eeivell the full amount. Mr. Cuinneis.ioner I'hillipa directed that attention should be paid to the letter from the Marquis of Sligo. Mr. Suomi said the grandfather's will referred to by the marquis was mentioned in the schedule. Mr. Commissioner Phillqs addressing the insolvent, said, " I am .sorts• you have brought yourself into such a situa tion. You have now been 12 months in prison." The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERKENWELL. Thomas Doris, fruiterer, of 7, Vernon-place, Bagnigge Wells-road, was examined, charged with the murder of Elisabeth Dorothea, his wife. Henry Lewis, of No. 32. Great Percy-street, Clerkenwell, having been sworn, deposed that on the 17th or 18th of October last he was in the employ of the prisoner as errand boy. On his return from dinner on one of those days, he (witness) saw Mr. and Mrs. Davis in the shop. Mrs. Davis was crying, and she told witness in the presence of the pri soner that he had been beating her with a shovel. Did not hear the prisoner say anything. Mrs. Davis asked witness to pick a piece of comb front her hair and head, and said she was going to Mr. l'hillips, a chemist, in Vernon-place. Witness did not see any other mark upon her. A week or fortnight before that heard Mr. Davis beating Mrs. Davis in the parlour. She called out to witness "Henry." Mr. Davis said he would Henry her. She was laid up on the nest Monday, and he did not ace her afterwards attending to business. Mr. Henry Hardinge, M.D. of Sackville-street, St. James's, said—On the 20th of detober the deceased came to his surgery and saw his assistant. Witness attended her on the 22nd, when she complained of great pain in the arm and baud, both of which were very much swollen. He examined her, and found an indentation and bruise on the back part of her hand. Asked her as to the cause. She replied that he (the prisoner) did it. Erysipelas ensued in consequence of the injury at the back of her hand. Sergeant Martin, IS G, apprehended the prisoner. He informed witness that be went out for some pork chops, and while he was frying them the deceased interfered, and prevented him doing so, on which a quarrel ensued and she injured her hand against the frying-pan. Ile positively denied having struck her with a shovel. Mr. Corrie said he should remand the prisoner for a week. WORSHIP-STREET. Five respectably-dressed persons, named CUL Richard Burdett Prather, Matthew Matthews, Francis Williams, Richard Lair, and Mouth) Stainbrithie, were charged with having obtained under false pretences a large amount of 3116CCIIIUICOILS property from tradesmen in different parts of the metropolis. Mr. Jay, from the office of the Trades Protection Society, appeared fur the prosecution, and the court was crowded with tradesmen and others who were anxious to prefer charges against the prisoners. Sarah Saul, shopwoman in the service of Mr. Edward Watkins, a haberdasher in Norton Potwar, stated that on the 24th of September last the prisoners Walker and May ' thews drove up to her master's door in a horse and gig, from which the latter alighted, and, introimeing himself us " Mr. Walker," of No. 18, Anus's-terrace, Hackney, re quested her to send some bonnets, mantles. and other arti cles upon approbation to the ladies of his family. A portion of the goods were accordingly forwarded to that place on the same evening, and on the following day the pris o ner Matthews again called at the shop, accompanied by three young women of lady-like appearance, who selected three bonnets, some mantles, and a Leghorn hat and feather, which they desired might be sent to them at the same address. Wit nesslelivered the articles at the house on the Monday follow ing, when she received a further order for two other man tles from one of the young ladies, who told her that her papa would call at the shop next day and pay for the whole of them. lie failed to do so, however ; and, on proceeding again to the house, she found it was shut up, and that ail the parties had absconded. Mr. William Norris, agent to the Rev. Mr. Moors, the owner of the house in Anne's-terrace, stated that iu the month of J uue last he let the premises in question to the prisoner Walker under a written agreement for three years, at the rent of TM. per annum ; but shortly before the end of the first quarter he received information that he had vacated the place, and the street-door key was soon after wards transmitted to him through the " Parcels Delivery Company." At the time he offered himself as a tenant the prisoner furnished him with a reference to a Mr. Palmer, of Millman-street, Bedford-row ; and, on calling at that place, lie saw the prisoner Stainbridge, who on that occa sion assumed the name of Palmer, and assured him that Mr. Walkir was a highly respectable person, and that he would find him a most desirable tenant. A second charge was then preferred by Mr. George Wise, a portrait painter in Islington-grecu, who stated that in the early part of September he received an order from the prisoner Walker to execute two family groups, com prising himself and his wife and three children. Ile subse quently waited upon the prisoner several times fur that purpose at his then residence in Angel-terrace, Pcntonville, and had almost completed the portraits when the prisoner called upon him in the company of Stainbridge, and took them away unfinished, alleging that he wished to show them to some American friends of his who had come over to sue the Exhibition. The prisoner requested hint at the souse time to send fur them to his house on the following day, but on culling there at the time appointed he found the premises deserted. A gentleman named Elwell, residing at Camberwell, stated that about the 10th of August he let the house in Angel-terrace to the prisoner Matthews, who stated his mune to be Charles Sitnmons ; he gave a reference to Mr. Walker, in Anne's-terrace, Hackney. On proceeding to that place he was introduced to the prisoner Walker, who spoke in such favourable terms of Mr. Simmons, whose father he alleged had rented u house otitis at Chelmsford fur upwards of twenty years, that he at once accepted him as a tenant. Police-cuustable Francis, N 227, stated that from informa tion he had received he succeeded in tracing the prisoners on the preceding evening to a house which they had re cently talon in Grove Villas, Brixton, where he found the whole of them, and took them into custody. On apprising them of the nature of the charge, the priloner Williams earnestly inquired if he did not think they could "square it," at the some time producing 60111 C bonnets and other articles which had been obtained from the witness Watkins, and which 111 , 1 oofkr dat once to restore to him. having token posscsriou of the articles in question together with a large quantity of other property of a miscellaneous descrip tion which was found in the house, and a number of pawn brokers' duplicates, the prisoners were conveyed to the station house. some other cases of a sinnlar character were partially gone into, and the priaoriers were remanded for a week. MAItYLEBONE. Nearly a dozen driver, of the new omnibuses running from theMarfileArch and Hatton-garden to Tottenham-coui t- rood fur one penny were summoned to this court and fined in sums of 10.. and under for obstructing the street, by stop ping 'unnecessarily, or for improper purposes, as for chang ing horses. Mr. Crawford, the originator of the reduced fares, com plained of the foul means by which be alleged the proprie tors of the old conveyances were trying to ruin the new undertaking, and alluded to their practice of sending one bus before and another behind the cheap vehicles, as need lessly filling the streets, as well asinjuring MARKETS.
