The horses were taken to the New Holland station where the plaintiffs made an agreement with the station keeper to send on the twines by cattle trucks in lead of haying them placed in hone hoses.

It appeared that the plaintiff heed with the defendant Mr. Lazarus, who WAS father of the other defendant, as servant of all stork. in Duke-street. Ablizate. She had; been about Me. sees. in their nettor, before the 9th of November last. On that day Mr. and Min LAZAZIIII went ; oat to see the Lord Mayor's show, leaving a watch and chain I lying expend to view iu the parlour. While they wens absent, one of Mr. Uric t.s..ons and the shopman. nimed Dinglison, tame in front the Lon!

She basilic/ answered both questions in the nega tive, was then ask. 4 to have her boxes searched, to which she at ogee consented. Her boxes were searched in the pre tence of Mr. Wallis. her uncle, by Miss LAMMAS in the pre sent" of the podia-muse. The betel consisted of a hair hunk. a work-hr. a green box, four bonnet boxes, and a small Indian Mat - cu. , - Nothing was found in either of the him which Mims Laments claimed, though she saw a lieekk and ft Ultimo piece in the work-box, and examined three Newr.beisi, the ploisitie was taken to the statioa- house by orders of the defendants, and there charged with 14 eating the watch and chain. In the tamest of the aftbr- noon the MO, John !Aram', and Thinglison, came in ; and hearing what had taken place, produced the j watch from the drawer, whereupon the defendants went off to the police station, and procured her discharge. from the inspector, who consented to it on the withdrawal of the charge by the defendants, sad the pledge of the plaintiff that she would appear on the Monday. She ap peared accordingly on that day, and though the defendant. withdrew the charge, they justified their suspieion stating that they had lost many things which they suspected she had stolen. The Lord Mayor then discharged the plain tiff, but in eonsequenee of those insinuations, the plaintiff caused a letter to be addressed to the defendants fur redress. That letter was answered by the defendants' attorne, stating the grounds on which they had acted. On the 14 th , when the plaintiff and her uncle called for her boxes, another search was instituted, although she had not been bark since the 9th. On the latter occasion Parnell, the policeman, was present, and a volume of Kirk White's poems was found at the top of the things in the green box ; a buckle and a half-franc piece in the workliox ; a gold seal • and ring in the small Indian mat cam. All these things were claimed by Miss Lamle, as belonging to her and her father. The plaintiff, on the other hand, claimed the buckle and half-franc piece es her property, and as to the volume and the seal and ring, she altogether pro tested her innocence and tweeted that her boxes must have been opened in her ahsence, and those articles put in as a foundation for the charges. In support of this ease the evidence of Parnell, Danglison, and Mr. Wallis was relied on. From their statements the following additional circumstances appeared : Parnell swore that the search on the 9th of November was a close one and lasted twenty minutes. Danglison admitted that he was now keepinle company with the plaintiff, and that he was the son of an inspector of the City Police Force. Mr. Wallis stated that he had stamped the half-franc piece with the letter W," and had given it to the plaintiff, and that he had often seen her wear the buckle. Besides these wit near., another policeman, named Liddle, was called, who described a search of the boles on the 9th of November in Mi. Lazarus's presence, when nothing was found. For the defendants' it was complained that Miss Larerus'a mouth was stopped by including her in the action. It had been insinuated that the boxes were broken open and the articles placed in them, with a view to found the charges against the plaintiff; but then the things so deposited would not have been the property of the plaintiff, but of Miss Lazarus; and yet the uncle had identified both the things there found and au pistil to have been claimed by Miss Lazarus. as the plaintiff's property. In truth the first search was insufficient. As to the first nothing, could he more fair or kind than the defendants' conduct towards the plain tiff, who, without losing a moment, presacded sifter they had heard of the watch to liberate the plaintiff. On one occasion she admitted having taken two sixpences out of the pocket of Miss lazarus during the night, and if that ...is so the jury would see there was some ground fur the suspicion which led to the second charge. In support of the defendants' case, Isaiah and John Lararus, the defendants' sons, Mrs. Jontw, and several neighbours of the defendants were called to substantiate the atement of moused.

Mr. Aleaander, M.r., and Mr. Montague Smith, were for the chtimaut, and Mr. Colin appeared for the company. It appeared that the piece of ground for which compen sation was now to Ise awarded, war immediately asbneent to and formed part of the *site of the Ilawley Arms Tavern, in the Ilarnpstraul-read, of which the corn petty have been some time in pomessrion, having paid Mr. Calvert, as the owner the•reof,the sum of .1,0001.

It was proved that 491. lot. hod ken expended on the ground prior to the company'', giving notice, and the whole claim arnounted to 54101. It appeared that the company had converted a portion of the Hawley Anna into a public home, where a business wan tieing tarried on in the name of Mr. Bishop, the former tenant, whilst Mr. Bishop him self was carrying on a business in Mr. Culvert's new house, under his former licence, considering that he was entitled to eho so, an the Meuse was erected on ground which was for merly part of the Ilswlcy Arms property, and that he had not surrendered hi+ right to the licence in his arrangement with Ow ilmipaily, though the latter eonsieler that ho slid, and therefor assert that the He catebelongse to them.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YesTraDAT. P M. MR. CAMMIMION. TMLLIPI4 IN Tlla MATIII. lle HENRY FRANCIS Lzicau.—Burst, InmeouNturn. This insolvent. a elerk to the India Board of Control, was heard under the Protection Act. There was no sitbm. The se•heeluie contained the names of several hill dissounters, and the insolvency was attributed to accommo dation bills. The case was before the court in November, and had been iuljourned for the purpose of effecting a settlement with the creditors. It had not, however, been carried out, and when the We was called the insolvent dc chord to make hi. appearance. Ile was subsequently pre * ailed upon to come into court, and his ease was beard. Mr. Commissioner Phillips observed that the insolvent had fallen into the hands of an abandoned race—bill dis counters. It was really enough to make him shed team to behold the schedules he did. Here was the ease of a young man with ample means, who hal been speculated upon— who with liabilities in the whole amounting to 15,0001., had only received consideration for about 1,01)01. Ile thought it was a ease for the legislature, and that they should con sider whether the usury laws had not been hastily repealed. Ile was glad the young man was not opposed. Ile should give him protection for an extended period, in the hope that some arrangement might be made with the creditors. Never again did he hope, would the insolvent put his name to a bill. Protection war granted to the 31st March. It TOE M siren or ALFRED WHALEY COLE. This care, whi, h has been before reported in our paper, was now concluded. The insolvent is • barrister, and attributed hi• inrolvency to having lent a woman called Laura Bell 1,480/. bn the part of the creditors it was alleged that the money had not been lent, but that the pro perty had been made away with. Mr. Dowse. on the present occasion, appeared for Mr. Turner, a jeweller, in the Strand, and other creditors. Mr. trargood supported. Ths insolvent had since his last examination filed an account of hi, alleged advancer to Laura lk.ll, and stated that he had advanced to her 1,480/. Ile hail no acknowledg- ITIVIIis for the money, but expected that it would have Isyn paid. Ile obtained the money front his wife before marriage, and lent 1,480 f. to Laura Bell out of 1,6001.. which was given hint by his wife. Mr. Dowse complaint:J. in hie address to the court, that the insolvent hail contracted debts without reasonable expectations of payment, and that he had made away with the property which he alleged be had advanced to Laura Bell. Mr. Ramona, in reply. urged upon the court the statement made by the insolvent, that the money was advanced to be repaid, and not given as presents to the female in question, and that it would be harsh in the extreme to disbelieve the insolvent, and pass a judgment for making away with his property, to diminish his property to be divided among his creditors. Mr. Commissioner Phillips gave judgment. This was a raw, he observed, which in its details must have been pain ful to every one who had heard it. To him it was pecu liarly an, seeing that the gentleman before him was one of his own profession. At the same time it was the bounden duty of the court to abstain from all feeling in the matter, further than what all should possess—the feeling of justice. The facts heron. the court were very simple, and there were other facts in the case which had been concealed. Here was a gentleman who • having formed an attachment for a young lady, whisk attachment was reciprocated, had handed to him, about the close of the year 1849, nearly all that she C;:. At thattime the insolvent owed debts to e 7. 71 3fo(. and 400/. The property received by him SA a gift amounted to 1,6001.: and the question was, had he a right to dispose of it, irrespective of the claims of his creditors ?—ought he not, as it was, money given to him, to have applied it in part to the liquidation of his debts? A painful part of the question remained behind. ; lie was asked to construe the intention of the insolvent in not paying his creditors. It was not in the power of man to construe intentions save further than by acts which gave evidence of intentions. The insolvent had a load of debt on him. because he called 3001. or 4001. a load, which he I hod previously incurred. and which he did not discharge out of the tn.mey given to him. It became then mate rial to see how he had etpended the money, and really this was a pitiable part of the ease. Mr. Sargood had with groat talent and energy endeavoured to persuade the court tint the insolvent had been the victim of a passion to which be in as evil hour yielded. He (Mr. Commissioner Phillips) was boned not to believe it. He was bound not to believe that them was any affection of the heart mixed with the There must, on the contrary, have been a has at the heart, and a crushing ut every virtuous elm ties, and he wondered that the image of her who had in her alecks placed her all in his possession did not when he admagad the money, as he had stated, to the woman, whose character ho well knew, did not stand be tween him and its lamentable distribution. He (the Commissioner) had so doubt be was a victim of a passion, but it was certainly not one of affection. Here was money given in affection squandered on a woman of the character THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1851. described in a most realign manner. Tinder these thrum- stances, he was called upon to say that there bad nut been a making away with property with intent to diminish the funds to be divided among the creditors. Ms opinion was, that the property had been made away with to the injury of his creditors, and the insolvent had indicated his can kesnes of their interest by the reckless manner in which he had disposed of the property. But the ease did nut cud there. The schedule was stained with debts incurred for her at the very time he was under an engagement to many his present wife. Was he—a man of 27—a victim of • moat notorious prostitute, who was younger than himself, one whose name was common to the world? Could he be- r t eve that this money had been advanced, and that , 1 he nun-payment was the cause of the insolvency ? There was no incident of a debt in the tramme ltion. Therefore, he was of opinion that he had made away with his property. In considering the judg ment to be pronounced he would bear in mind that the insolvent had already been shout five months in prison, and had nu doubt suffertd in that iwriusl. The judgment of the court was that he should be • discharged when he had }Keen in pri-on eight months I(ruin the vesting order, which would have him about two months longer to remain in confinement.

The prosecutor stated that nn Saturday night he was ',metalling down Long-acre, having just get down his far,. when he was hailed by a May, who a-ked him if he wanted a job. The boy took him into King-street, where he found ' prisoner with a woman. whom he supposed to be his wife. The woman asked him to Mk: them to the street at the hack of Snow-hill, and agreed to give him a shilling, the fare being 1.. 4d. On arriving at a house in the quarter indicated prosecutor set the woman down, who said she would be bark in a minute, but he waited an hour for her in sail'. Sty this time he began to think he had been cheated, and applied to the prisoner, who was asleep in the cab, and apparently unconscious of what was going on. Ile was quite drunk when the woman put him in. Prose cutor then paw him into custody. Prisoner said he knew nothing of the woman ; he wits intoxicated at the time, and had lost all his money, a hich he believed the woman had stolen. Mr. Hall asked prosecutor whether he did not think that prisoner and himself had alike been cheated by the woman, who wanted a ride for nothing? Prosecutor thought it Was 1.0 ; and the magistrate dis missed the ease. WANDSWORTH. A Pol.lrg GANIV.XEEPER.— Canham, a policeman of the V division, applied for a PUMMOIIi under the Game La. a. On Mr. Paynter expressing his surprise at such an appli cation, Serjeant Burst , ' said that Canham had been for some time past solely employed by Mr. Beaumont to watch Ulm blcdon-park, which that gentleman lout purchased of Earl Spencer, and, as some parts of it had been sold for building purposes, the preserves had b,rome exposed, which induced persons to trespass ut search of game. This was the ease on Saturday at noon, when Canhant found a man trespass ing with a gun. Mr. Poynter wished to know if the Police Commissioners wen• acquainted with the fact ? The police sergeant said they wire. Mr. Beaumont paid for the constable, and the superintendent had sent hint to make the application. Mr. Puynter remarked it was prejudicial to the police force to interfere in any way with the game laws, and it was neither MOM nor less than making them keepers, and not policemen ; and, in point of fact, the constable who ap plied for the summons was a keeper, not a policeman. If gentlemen wished their game protected, let them have their own keepers. It was not the duty of the police ; they were fn the service of the public. Sergeant Burotel observed the constable's general duty was to keep the people to the footpath. Mr. Paynter said—That is the employment of a keeper SIR JOKY BARROW'S MONUMENT .STRUCK nr LIORT• niso.—During the thunderstorm which raged on Thursday night at Ulveroton the monumental tower erected to the memory of the late Sir John Barrow, Bart, was struck with lightning. the tower, which has just been completed, is in the form of a lighthouse, 100 feet high. It is erected capon Iload, a hill near Ulverston, standing above the level of the sea upwards of 400 feet. No conductory rod has yet been put ❑p. The electric fluid has struck the dome--but whether inside or outside is a mere matter of speculation— and dislodged nine huge stones, weighing at least 3 cwt. a piece, live of which have fallen down the inside of the I tower, and four down the outside. The stones which have I fallen inside have broken live out of the sir girders, and a great portion of the freestone steps which wind inside to the top. The stones which have fallen outside have hit the buttress in three different places, and hare completely smashed the parts upon which they have fallen.

Yesterday;;iiTqUiry as to the state of mind of Mr. I David Wilson, a retired nu rchant of the City, was opened ttefore Mr. Barlow, one of the Masters in Lunacy, and a special jure of magistrates and merehants, at the Sheriff's- I office, Reif Lion-square. The learned Commis:ioner explained to the jury the na ture of the proceeding ; and Mr. Follet, who appeared in support of the petition, which W. IA presented by the next of kin, and was not oppowd, briefly stated the case, and called the witnesses, w h en. evidence dearly established the fact that since the 10th of Dee. last the unfortunate gentleman, Mr. Wilson, had been of unsound mind. That he was MI at the present time was quite evident from his conduct oral conversation in court, when brought in by direction of the learned commissioner. Mr. Wilson is a native of Scot land, and early in life he joined a mercantile firm in the City as a partner, and having in that capacity anuoocal'a considerable fortune, he retired into private life, and continued to reside with his wife (having no children) until her death, which took place about two years ago, after which event he became unsettled in his habits, wan dering about from place to place. In December last he was residing at Brighton, when his friends thought it necessary to have him placed under the care of au attendant, he having talked in an extraordinary manner about marrying a second time, and upon other subjects, and having on one occ-asion, after he had retired, suddenly reappeared in the room where his frieinki, including some ladnM, were assem bled, in his night-shirt. On the 31st he was brought under the notice of Dr. Winslow, and subsequently was admitted into Sussex House Asylum, under the superintendence of that gentleman, who now deposed that he was labouring under an organic disease of the brain, a result of which was general paralysis, and that there was not the slightest hope of his restoration to reason, being now decidedly insane. The lunatic, a stout fine-looking man, about fifty . years of age, on being questioned by the commis:stones-, gave extremely incoherent answers. Amongst other things, of an equally ridiculous nature, he said he had a second wife, who was a little princess; that he had dined with the little queen and Prince Philip; that he went to Paris and hack in an hour and a half, and sold three little pictures for 42,000/. ; that he was going to California to (salvers gold into dollars ; that he was going to travel to Jerusalem, Syria, and Rome—to the latter place to kiss the Pope's toe; and that he was about to he married to a rich heiress in Yorkshire. Ile clapped his hands with great glee, and in sisted upon his hat being kept on, and said he knew he was nut capable of managing his affairs, and wished for some one to manage them fur him. The precise amount of his pro perty was not stated in evidence; the lunatic himself said he had 1,2001. a year, but he could not tell how it was Ile rived, and he hail told Dr. Winslow that he wag aorth from 200,0001. to 3.50,000/. The jury found that he had been insane since the 10th of December last. CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO(RT. .The February session of the Central Criminal Court com menced yesterday, before the Right lion. the Dirt] Mayor, the Reeoider, the Common Set-judo, Al& rman Sir J. Duke, the sheriff4,_ under-sheriffs, CI:ItJE ItY CAPES. Charles nailing surrendered to take his trial for misde meanour. Mr. 14awkins and Mr. l'arnell were for the pro secution, and Mr. Iluddleatune appeared for the defendant. The misdemeanour imputed to the defendant was that upon the trial of a cause Mark. o. Boulnnis," in the Court of Exchequer, he had, in giving evidence for the defendant in the action, committed wilful and corrupt perjury. It appeared that Marks was a carriage broker, and Mr. Boulnois and his brother were the proprietors of the Carriage Bazaar in Baker-start; that there had been a ' running account between the parties for some time, and at length the amount of the balance due was disputed by Marks, and upon Mr. Buulnois refusing to deliver up cer tain carriages that were in his possession, he brourht an action of trover, and it was alleged that upon the present defendant, who was clerk to Mr. Boathook being examined a witness on his behalf, he had falsely stated that a cer tain sum of ten guinea had Men paid on the sth instead of the , 14th of a particular month, and also that upon the occa sion when a tender was made by Marks's attorney, that the aura an tendered was :301. instead of 40/., and it was upon these assignments of perjury that the present indictment was preferred. The principal witness in support of the prosecu tion was the plaintiff' in the itetimt, Marks, but the account be gave of himself on his ern-s-examination was anything but satisfactory. Mr. Ilawkins ' (Liles!' the csaminatinn of Marks had been concluded, Raid he had ascertained that a witness who was tee have been culled to confirm his testimony was not in attendance, and under these circumstances kit that he had no other alternative but to withdraw front the pro secution. . _ A Vertlict of Not Guilty was accordingly taken. Then. was another indictment agaimit ftenry Hailing, the brother of the defendant, ariiing out of the same circum stance., hut in this caw no evidence wa. offered, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. An elderly female named Anne Itiacktnan surrendered to take her trial for perjury. The prowcutor did not appear, and no coun.cl was in structed on his behalf. Mr. Payne, on behalf of the defendant. applied for her acquittal, and put in nn affidavit to the etfeet that the pro igeution had been instituted solely for the purism. of ex torting money. The prosecutor, it appeared, had been a tenant to the defendant, and ;he had sued him in the County Court for rent and to obtain possession of her pre mises, and upon her obtaining a Verdict against him It I appeared that he had gone before the grand jury and pr. - ferrtal a bill against her fur perjury alleged to hat been committed by her in her evidence before the County Court judge. The defendant, upon the finding of the grand jury, had been compelled to give buil; but it was evidently never intended to go on with the charge. The notice of trial wax put in, but it appeared that the notice merely stated the intention of the defendant to appear and plead, omitting that she intended to take her trial. The Recorder observed that cases of perjury, arising out of the new practice of permitting the parties in causes in the County Courts to give evidence upon oath, were becoming very frequent indeed, and it appeared now to be a very common proceeding for the party who was defeated to turn round and indict his adversary for perjure; and such eases requirvil to be watched very narrowly. • In the present instance, it appeared to him that 1114 the notice of trial was not strictly in form, he should not he justified in estreating the re•igtnisances of the prosecutor ; and he therefore thought it would be better to postpone the ease to next session, in order that fresh notice should be given and if the prosecutor did not then appear, he should certainly estreat his recognisance.. _ THE Queer r. Thernrx Muss. This was another charge of the same desenption. The prosecutor was in attendance, hut he said he had no witnekses present, and had not instructed counsel, and he wished the trial to be postponed to give him an opportunity of getting up his caw. The Recorder said that he ought to have been prepared, and as he had received the usual notice of trial, the deft a. dant was entitled to an acquittal. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly taken. NEW COURT.—YESTERDAT. Hams nit Common Nas/rANy. A LAWYER SWINDLED: Joseph Arnsstro;g733;lsi;urer, maa, was indicted for a misdemeanour. Mr. Parry prosecuted, and Mr. Payne defended. The facts of the case were these. The prosecutor, a Mr. Walter Justice, is a solicitor, living at No. 6, Bernard-street, Russell-Kuare, and bas a client named Rowe, a blind gen tleman, whom he (prosecutor) had never seen, but trans acted whatever business had passed between them by correspondence. On the 18th of last November a cab drew up to his office, and a blind man. assisted by a boy, gnt out and came in. The man introduced himself to him as Mr. Charles Rowe, and then requested his (prosecutor's) opinion about some business, and he, thinking him to be his client, at once entered into details, without asking him any further questions, the circumstance of the man's being , blind quite throwing him off his guard. The soi-disant Mr. Rowe then stated that he had a person named James Armstrong, who occupied a house of his at Nine Elms- road, and that he owed to him (Rowe) the rum of 681. moneys lent, and besides the recovery of that sum he wanted to consult him about another matter, which was that Armstrong. having received notice to quit the house at Nine Elms at Michaelmas, had nAuested the favour of staying a few days until he was suited, but that he bad not gone out. The prosecutor told him that his remedy would be to apply for the whole quarter, upon which the self-styled Mr. Rowe instructed him to write for it, and also for the 681. He further added that he had found a tenant for the house that the man Armstrong occupied, and that he should want a pair of leases drawn up, and would get prosecutor to do it. He then left, and in pursu ance of these directions prosecutor wrote as directed, but before the blind man left, he haring heard that his client had moved from where he had been accustomed to correspond with him asked for the new address. The blind man ruined from his pocket a letter, the envelope of which had been through the post, and bore the address Charles Rowe, 3. Warwick -street, Tau:hall-road, and this further tended to DAILY WEATHER TABLE. TUESDAY, Fee. 4, 1151. The State of the Weather at each of the following places at Nine o'clock yesterday morning.
