Ilia Honour pre judgment in these eases, and and— Then were motions for injunctions to restrain the defen dants from wing or exeicising, within the limits of Eag land, Wok., and Berwick:upon-Tweed, the invention of James Lowe for Cie propulsion of vends, and from using or employing any vessel Wrest with a serew.propeiler, without the licence of the plaintiff. The plaintiff was assignee of a patent granted to Lowe in 1838, whereby vessels were pro pelled by v..nes or blue.es pieced upon a shaft running from stem to steel of the vessel. The defendants were the owners of stools trading between Holland and Eng land, under the name of the Amsterdam Screw Steam-shin Company. It was not denied that the defendant had been using a screw-prom:der similar to Lowe's invention, but they 000ttnded that the patent was invalid for want of novelty. That the plaintiff had had no such enjoyment under his patent as would warrant the interference of the court until the patent hod been established at law, and that there had been such an acquiescence on the part of the plsintitf as precludul h m from obtaining the relief be asked. Ills heiri,ur thought the defendants had not established such acquiescence, but had made out such a ease as rendered it incumbent on the court to require en action to be brought to establish the patent, but not such a case as required tile court to withhold its interference in the mean time. The dereedants urged, as a ground for noninter ference, that the et.sscl, the owners, and the seamen were all Dutch. That no Englishman had any share in the com pany ; that the y were ignorant of the existence of Lowe's patent ; and (hit their 1V,A . 111 had been publicly used be tween England and Holland for 2i years. Foreigners must be sulject to the laws of the country in which they may !tippets to be ; and Ste. Story, in his work on " The Con flict of Laws, - stated that the right to make laws to bind foreigners, either resident ur pausing through, was inherent in all states. In England, the position of foreigners was provided for by a statute, panted in the 32nd Hen. VIII., chop. 16, whereby it was expressly declared that foreigners coming to ties realm should be bound by the laws. The defend int., while in this country, his 'Lenoir thought, must he sulip et to the r 4•111. But it was said that, with regard .to patent., the case we, different. The crown exercised control over the trade of the country,, and it had power to grant exclusive right to trade in it during a reinonahle 'HAM.

The potent granted by the ere,. n gives to a party, his executors, admi nistrators, and assiges, and to sock others as ho or they shall allow, and no others, the right to make and use the patented article, nod this grant also gives the right of action fur infringement. Foreigners coming into this country are halite to actions for injury done to individuals, and why we for infringement of a patent t and if liable to an action, why may not this court interfere ? It was urged that it would great hardship and inconvenience ; but if British ships could not use the propeller without a license, his maiiiur did nut ere how th e foreigners could complain of being required to it., the same. His honour did not find from the evidence any sufficient ground for refusing the aid or the court ; and he must grant the injunction, re suming the possess on and use of the propeller without a beton, the plaintiff undertaking to bring an action to try the validity of his patent.

Tug ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACK= COMPANY. From the opening statement of the Attorney General it appeared that the defendants had contracted to bring • number of boxes containing gold dust from Panama, and to deliver them in London. On the 7th of May in the present year, a steamer belonging to the defeuiLints called the "Great Western" arrived at Southampton with 2&3 boxes of gold dust, of which eleven belonged to the plaintiffs, Messrs. Roth-child. The b•ixes were placed in waggons on the South Western Railway for the purpose of being con veyed to London. When a. Witchester the train stopped about ten m nut" and here it was tl at the three boxes, one of which belonged to the plaintiffs, the value of which they sought in the present action to re cover, were supposed to have been stolen. When the train arrived at Nine Elms, the robbery was discovered. The value of the box stolen was about 2,3001. Evidence having been called to prove the contract, Sir F. Thesiger addressed the jury for the defendants, and said that he should be able to show that the robbery had not taken place whilst the boxes were being conveyed from the steamer in which they were brought over, and placed in the waggons which conveyed them to London. He would show that they left the Southampton Docks per fectly safe, and it sea most likely that the robbery wascoro mitted whilst the train was in motion. A man named Flampia had been convicted of receiving a box containing gold dust which had been found in • garden near the Winchester, station of the South-Western Railway. This box was one of the three lost, but was not the one which belonged to the plaintiffs. It was very likely that the box which belonged to the plaintiffs had been taken by the same party who had stolen the but which was found at Winchester. lie (Sir F. Thesiger) would also show that four tenants of the Royal Mail Stearn-packet Company had travelled up to London 11l the train containing the gold dust, and that the greatest care had been exercised by them in watching the waggons in which the boxes containing the gold dust were placed. He therefore submitted that the defendants had not been guilty of soy negligence and were not liable to the plaintiffs. The following evidence was then called on behalf of the defendants: - Joseph Frederick Parker examined by Mr. Crowder — Witness was a landing waiter at Southampton, and it wee his duty to attend to the landing of specie. He re membered the arrival of the Great Western steamer on the 7th ul May, 1851. Witness assisted in unloading her cargo. Witness found all the packages correct. Amongst them were the three boxes in question. Witness put the boxes in • she I after he had counted them. John Yeoman examined by Mr. Greenwood—Witases was a weigher in the Customs at Southampton, and er sisted the List witness in unloading the specie from die Great Western steamer. Witness superintended placing the boxes in question in the shed, and found that the nuns bee agreed with the ship's manifest. Richard Frederick Jennings examined by Mr. Bovill— Witness was • clerk in the employ of the Southampton Dock Company. Witness took an account of the brae landed (nun the Great Western. Witness saw a No. 115, into which 46 boxes of gold dust were P r is a t i Ml amongst them were the three that were stolen. Perim were put into the waggons to count the packages. All the specie that arrived by the Great Western was placed in waggons. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—When one waggon was loaded it was pushed a little way on the rail, in order to make room for another. There was a railway from the docks at Southampton to the South Western Rai. way Station. The waggons left the docks about tore. o'clock in the afternoon of the Bth of May. There were 283 packages of gold dust altogether. Re-rammed by Mr. Bovill—Witness's duty was ID em the packages taken out of the vessel p ut into the waggon. Lewis Jukes examined by Sir F. Therger—Witness was • sergeant of the dock police. Witness was on duty whilat the specie was being landed on the Bth of May. When the waggons were loaded, a person got in and counted the num ber of packages in them. Witness was present the whole' time during the leading of the waggons oaths Bth of May, 1881. Cross-examined by Mr. Willere-Iron waggons were used now, but at that time ordinary waggons covered with a tarpaulin were red. samieed by Sir F. Thesigcr—The waggons were 12 feet high. The first tarpaulin was fastened with a rope and nailed down at each end, and the other tarpaulin lapped over and was fastened with a rope in the middle of the waggon and at each end also. Iron waggons have been used since the robbery took place. The waggons in which the specie was placed on the Bth of May were the ordinary waggons in use at that time. Edwin Cooke, examined by Mr. Crowder—Witness was • clerk in the employ of the Southampton Dock Company, and remembered the arrival of the specie on the Bth if May. Witness took an account with the clerk of the de fendants of the specie landed, and always saw that it was placed all right in the waggons. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—Witness had nothing to do with the fare charged for the conveyance of specie, but believed that the charge for conveying gold was Ma. per ton. The gold was always insured. Bunk', was charged more for, because nothing else was pat iniss the waggon in which it was placed. By the Court—The railway company charged for of geode by weight, and not by bulk. Mr. Joseph Here, examined by Mr. Greenwood—Wit ness was • clerk in the employ of the Royal Mad Steam Packet Company. Wittier was on duty on the 7th of May. when the Great Western arrived. It was the duty of wittier to cheek the numbers on the boxes. Witness was on duty on the Bth of May, when the boxes were placed in the waggons. Witness got into the waggon No. 110, in which were the three boxes which were lost. Wit ness called upon the defendants' head porter to go into the waggons and see that the packages were all right. Witness accompanied the goods to London. Wittier was accom panied by a Mr. Beadmore, Samuel Winchip, and a man named Quirke. The train arrived at the Nine Elms striae about three o'clock in the morning. Witness left the wag gon; in the charge of Mr. Beardmore, Winehip, and Quirk*, and went away with the way bill. Witness had the key o f the waggons with him. About six o'clock witness returned, the waggons were unlocken, and three boxes were found wanting. Witness consulted the superintendent on duty about the loss, as to how it could have taken place, and then the waggons were again locked. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General Witness fonnd, on examining the waggons, that a man could get in and out between the tarpaulins. When all the swear were locked and covered up, witness left them in the of Mr. Beardinote and Samuel Winehip, and they were pushed on to the goods station of the railway at Southamp ton. That was done about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon. The train left for Loneon at nine o'clock in the evening. On the journey to London, witness, Mr. Beard. more, Winchip. and Quirke got out every time the train stopped. A watch was kept upon the waggons. Witness believed that some one got in and out of the waggon, end remitted the robbery whilst the train was in modem. There were no marks of • man's foot on the tarpaulin ef the waggons. Re-examined by Sir F. Thesicer--The train was a very keg ins. There were about 70 rrriars. Samuel Winchip, examined by Mr. Bovill—Witneas was a porter in the employ of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. Witness remembered the arrival of the Great Western, and saw the specie safely landed from the steamer. Witness got into the waggons to count the packages in them, and farmed the tarpaulins. Witness went with the waggons to the railway station. Witness accompanied the goons to London. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—Witness did not know in what part of the wigs= the boxes were placed that were lost. Witness could not tell how any man could have got into the waggon except through the tar paulin. Witmer believed that the man must have got in and, out of the waggon whilst the train was in motion. Witness had travelled with waggons for the last 10 years. Every time the train stopped, witness and the other parties got out to me if the waggons were all safe. Re-examined by Sir F. Thesigsr—No loss had ever oc curred before. John Wm. Quirke, examined by Mr. Greenwood—Wit me was, in May last, • messenger in the employ of the de fendants. Witness remembered the landing of the specie from the Great Western steamer. Witness was in each waggon when it was loaded. (This witness went on to prove that during the time the waggons were at the rail way station at Southampton, until the train started, they were strictly watched.) Thomas Wiachip was then called, and he proved that he misted to watch the waggon* conaining the specie when they were at the railway station at Southampton. Thomas Lercoek, examined by Mr. Greenwood—Wit ness was • pointsman at Winchester on the Bth of May last, in the employ of the South Western Railway Com pany. He remembered the train containing specie aerie mg at Winchester 28 minutes peat ten at night. There were 67 trucks or waggons, and our carriage. The sixth waggon from the engine was uncoupled at Winchester. A box containing specie was found under • bush by the side of the abutment of the Andover-road Bridge. The train left Winchester at half-past 10. About 20 minutes past 11 witness saw • man coming from the Andover road-bridge towards the station. That man asked the policeman en duty when the mail train would go op to London. On the following night witness saw a man named Plampin brought into the office of the railway company. Witness said that his voice was like the voice of the man who had asked the night before when the mail train would go up to London. Warr was present when Plampin was tried at Winchester. Frederick 'Lupin. examined by Mr. Devils— ss Mates was a cow-boy is the employ of Mr. Keeley, who kept the Jolly Fanner public house at Winchester.

William Edwards, examined by Mr. Crowder.—Witness was a porter in the employ of the South Western Railway Company, and was on duty on the evening of the Bth of May. The train containing the specie arrived at 20 minutes past 10, and left at half-past. About a quarter of an hour afterwards witness saw • man who asked when the mail train would leave for London ? Ile told him at two o'clock. Witness then directed him to the White Swan to obtain some refreshment. He afterwards left Winchester for Lon don. He believed that person was Plampin. Walter Smith, examined by Mr. Greenwood—This wit ness corroborated the evidence of the former witness as to the man Plampin being seen at the Winchester station with two parcels, and his going to London by the two o'clock mail train on the morning of the 9th of May, in the present year. Joseph Eldred, examined by Mr. Bovill—Witness kept • coffee-shop at Shineditch. On the morning of the 9th of May Plampin came to the coffee-shop of witness with Pitcher, a cabman, and had breakfast. He left two heavy parcels in the care of witness, which he afterwards took away. Wreke, examined by Sir F. Thesiger—Witness was in the service of the defendants. The charge for carrying specie made by the railway was 40s. per ton. The two guards, the engineer, and stoker belonging to the train which contained the specie were then put into the box, in order that the Attorney. General mightcross-examine them ; but upon cross-examination nothing material was elicited, with the exception that the guards had partaken of some beer with some of the servants of the defendants, who had accompanied the specie to London. The Attorney-General then replied, and The Lord Chief Baron in summing up left it to the jury to say whether there had been any negligence on the part of the defendants. The jury then retired for twenty minutes, and returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiffs, stating that there had been negligence and want of sufficient caution on the part of the servants of the defendants. In this case several legal points were reserved for the deci sion of the court above. COURT OF BANBRUPTCY.—RATURDAY. ihPLIPII Ma. Commoscenga OorLsvax. IN as Da. Onatertm.n.

In other respects, there were the favourable circumstances that his expen• dilute bad not esrteded his professional income as a physi cian, and every farthing was vouched.

SATURDAY. BM= MR. 0.711111.1.40M11l RALGuY. RV FFOIID AND WRAOOII'II BANKRUPTCY. This was the day fixed fur the last examination of these lxietrupts, hankers in the Cato banking establishments at Stourbridge and Bromagrove. Mr. Knight (31otteram and Co) applied for a further , adjournment on the grounds that the accountant had not yet been able to prepare the balar.ce-sheet of the Liromsgrove bank ; this account would be very heavy, and until it was in a proper shape the assignees did not feel them selves in a position to do justice to that in quiry which they deemed necessary ; the accounts of the two banks were so intimately connected that it would be unfair to all parties to proceed further until both balance. sheets were prepared, that of the Stourbridge branch having already been tiled. There had been no unnecessary delay on the part of the accountant ; the Bromsgrove 141:mei:- sheet wpuld be ready for tiling , by the 23rd of January, he thereto& sogcested that the adjournment should be until the 14th of February. Mr. Elgie, on the part of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, said that he should not oppose the application, althougn eight months was certainly a long time to occupy in preparing a banker's balance sheet. He suggested, however, that the separate balance sheets of all the bankers should be ready by that time. Mr. Commissioner Balguy—Certainly ; by all means they should. . _ Mr. Knight—The accountant (Mr. Percival) informs me that in the Brom‘groee bank there arc accounts extending over eleven years and a half, which have never been posted. The adjournment to the day named was then assented to, ' u was also another application by Mr. Knight that there should be a sitting at Stourbridge on the Gth of January, and at Bromsgrore on the 7th, for the purpose of taking proofs of the many small debts owing in the neighbourhood of both those towns.

It was proved in the clearest manner that the prisoners had committed the offence with which they were charged under circumstances of great atrocity, and they were sea -1 traced to transportation for 10 years. THE POLICE COURTS. CLEILKENWELL. _ Henry Martin O'Finnayan, aged 60, described as a gentleman, was placed at the bar on remand, charged 'with obtaining from a woman named White 1/. 3s. 6d. under the false pretence that he was clerk to Mr. Harry, the barrister, and that for that sum Mr. Ilorry should de fend her husband, who subsequently was sentenced to transportation. Mr. /lorry raid he was a barrister, and bad chambers at No. 1, Warwick-court, Holborn. He had not received any money from the prisoner to defend a man named White, who was tried at the Middlesex Sessions and transported. The prisoner never was his clerk, and he was never authorised to receive fees except when he was specially sent for them, he (Mr. Hotly) sometimes having employed him as a messenger. He never authorised the prisoner to represent himself at the House of Detention as his clerk. Cross-examined—l knew the prisoner as an attorney s clerk, and if I had not taken briefs from him all the other members of the bar at the sessions would have been glad to do so. I have not been in the habit of giving him the clerks' fee when he brought me briefs ; might have done so in some cases ; I cannot swear that I have not. I have received the depositions in cases horn him, and de fended prisoners with no other instructions. To the magistrate—That is a very common practice with the bar at the sessions, and it is customary to take the guinea without a clerk's fee at all. I have no clerk at this time. I cannot say I have not done It. I never gave the prisoner the half-crown out of the guinea. Flanagan and Mrs. White came to me on the Monday of the sessions, and she instructed me to make a motion to put off the trial of Edward White until the neat sessions. She appeared in great trouble and distress. She promised to The me the money at the end of that week or the next. The fee was 11. 3s. 6d. The prisoner introduced her to me. I made the motion, and Mr. Witham postponed the trial. I have de fended prisoners, and made motions, believing that the fees would be paid afterwards. In such cases the prisoner has received the tees, and paid them to menfterwards. I have defended cases on the promise of the prisoner that I should be paid. I have received briefs from him. I expected to receive the fee for the motion in question from him. I should have looked to him for the fee entirely Re-examined—l did not understand the prisoner to be an attorney. I have known him to be clerk to eirveval at torneys, Tu., Davis, Head, and Williams. I knew him first in 1847. I then lost sight of him fee two yeas, and saw him again two years ago. He gave me briefs, but in no particular character. He brought briefs and clients, and the parties sometimes came without him. I did not an thorW him to receive money for me, but I had sot forbade his receiving it. If he did receive money I expected ha was , to pay it to me. In this case I expected he would receive the money and pay it to me—not as my eterk though; but as a client. — The clerk (Mr. Mould)—Without reference to this cam, are there not a number of persons who prowl about the court to get hold of poor persons, under the pretence that they are attorneys or clerks ?

I have two brothers of my own, barristers, and I declare to Clod I never bad a penny of this woman's money. I had to write on the chambers' door every morning where was going. Oh, Mr. Horry, what a cruel man you are. The prisoner was fully committed, the magistrate con senting to take bail fur his appearance to answer the charge at the sessions. Aldborough Richardson Paris, of No. 26, York-road, Kennington-road, was charged with stealing 20 dozen of wine, value 401., the property of Mn. Mary-Ann Pass, of 221, Strand. The proseentriz deposed that in August last she let a furnished house, 64, Ouilford.street, to the prisoner, at 4 guineas a week, with an agreement that she Nut free access to it. There were two wine cellars—one her own, which was kept locked up, and the other for the prisoner's use. Her cellar contained 20 dozen of wine. Ile represented himself as a wine merchant. On Wednesday last she was refused access to the house by the prisoner's brother, hot subsequently she obtained admission, when she found that the wine cellar had been entered and plundered of 20 dozen I of port and sherry. Caroline Potter, servant to the prisoner, gave evidence as to the removal of wine in a cart on the 2nd of December by the prisoner, end a man named John Simmons. Tyrwhitt inquired whether the prisoner carried on r thebusincai of a wine merchant in the house in Guilford street. _ . Mrs. Pass said he did not. John Howe, groom to the prisoner, said he had reason to believe that he was in difficulties. Simmons was porter to the prisoner. Saw Mr. Davis in his shirt-sleeves coming from the direction ofthe wine -cellar, and he discharged his servants at a very short notice. James Brett, of the City detective force, apprehended the prisoner at the Bankruptcy Court.—Remanded. MARKETS. PRODUCE MARKET. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 20. The sales today were—Sugar : Havannah, 110 boxes, fine yellow, 365. ; Medina, 600 bags, 245. 64. Saltpetre -330 bags, 28s. 6d. Pearl Sago-245 boxes, 16s. Sago Flour-100 bag., 13s. 6d. Indigo-11 chests, 2a. 4d. to 2a. fid. Pimento—Small lot, 4fd. COTTON.—Ltvgarroox, Dee. 20.—The market closed steadily, aid, compared with yesterday's rates, prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales to-day were estimated at 6,000 bales (of which exporters and speculators took 500 bales each), and included 350 Pernam and Maranham, at 514. to sid. ; 100 Egyptian, 514. to 74. ; and 1,000 Surat, 21d. to 31d. The imports since Thursday amount to 10,000 bales Manentsrett, Dec. 20.—The only change worthy of note in the market for manufactures is for cloths suitable to the China market, fur which the Overland Mail brought some orders. A fair extent of business has also resulted in the yarn market for the same quarter, and 20'a and 30's water twist. for which spinners were already well engaged, are firm in price, and proportionably higher than any other kind of goods in the market. Generally speaking, in cloths (the better qualities of 27-inch printing cloths excepted), though prices are better maintained than might have been expected, the bias is in favour of buyers. This is not alone owing to the depression caused by the state of things on the continent, but is, to some extent, the result of indisposition by many houses, just on the eve of the Christmas holidays, to extend their obligations beyond immediate requirement*, especially whilst stock taking is going on. So far as India advice, generally are concerned, however, though, as stated on Thursday, some orders have resulted for Bombay, they are by no means cheering. Correspondents speak of the markets for many descriptions of goods being glutted beyond precedent, and doomed for salt-, it' at all, at ruinous prices. It was also reported at Calcutta that a native banker had failed for 250,000/., so that next advises will be looked forward to with great interest. For Germany the export season is pretty much over, and one of the chief sources of demand is our home market. The consumption of yarn by our manufacturers, however, has been called for in small quantities, and there is a de cline, taking the whole week, as compared with the pre ceding one, of W. per lb. excepting, of course, the num bers of water twist we have already specified as in par. titular request. WOOLLEN CLOTIL—LaEns, Due. 20.—The business done in the cloth halls to-day hu been of a moderate cha racter; about what is usual at this period of the vear. In the warehouses during this week there has been a little more doing. Several of the principal London and Scotch buyers have been here, but wo do not hear that their pur chases have been extensive. lIARDWARE.—.BIRMINOHAN, DEC. 20.—The reports of the state of the various trades of this town continue to be highly satisfactory, especially as regards the most important branches ; notwithstanding the near approach of the end of the year there is scarcely any working for stock, and all the manufacturers are in full work, for the most part full time. In cabinet-brims-foundry, metallic bedstead making (for which articles the orders for the export trade have been i very large of late), gun-making, and sword cutlery, there is much more activity than is usual at this season of the year. The lamp-makers are also pretty well off; and in the heavy steel toy trade generally there arc abundant indications o things being in a healthy condition. The engine -makers represent their branch to be fully up to the average; and as regards two other important trades—metal-rolling and tube making—the reports are equally favourable.
