It also stated that there were in the hospital one master and four priests, and that after providing for their maintenance, all the other goods of the Inspirit ought to be charitably distributed That decree con cluded the litigation. He now came to a,.other charity,which was engrafted on this by Cardinal Beaufort, who chartered and erg .w it another hospital within the precincts of the hospital .4 St. Cross, which he entitled " the house of noble poverty." They had not the original grant, hut they lad a deed dated 3rd January, 1445,whsch recited that Car dinal B. aufurt, with the assent of Thomas Forest, Muter of the hospital of St. Cross, and of the frethree of the said hospital, hod founded within in precincts a certain alms house, called " the House of Noble Poverty," consisting of two priests, 35 brethren, and three sisters, under the go vernment of the said Master and his successors, and had imposed upon them certain statutes, observances, and de votion., fur the good of his foul, and had , by the license of the King, granted to the Master and brethren, and their successors, for ever, very many possesaions, including the parish church of Crandele, reserving 10 masks yearly to the vicar of the said church, and 10 marks yearly to the prior and convent of t'...e church of the cardinal at Winchester. By another deed, dated the 24th July, 1416 further events were made, including the church of St. Faith, near Winchester; the hospital of nt. John of For dingridge, the free chapel of Echarswell, the free chapel of Cold Henley, and also the free chapel of St. James, in Winchester. The commissioners went on to say, The intentions of Cardinal Beaufort do not appear to have been fully carried into effect in his lifetime, although he restored and greatly enlarged the building for the reception of the additional number of inmates which he contemplated. His successor to the bishopric, William de Waynfiete, procured from Henry I. a charter in the 33rd year of his reign, whereby, after reciting that the King, in consideration of 13,350 marks, had parted to, or to the use of, Cardinal Beaufort (then deceased) certain manors and lands (therein mentioned), with license to the cardinal to assign the same to the master and brethren of St. Cross Hospital, which he had done, and they were Belted of the same ; that it ern the intention of Cardinal Beaufort to found an almshouse within the precinct of the hospital of St. Cross for 2 chaplains, 35 poor men, and 3 women, but that it had not been established. The charter then went on to etre that the King had empowered the Bishop of Winchester to found the hospital, with power to make rules and ordinances as to the manner of choosing the governor or keeper, and the governance of the house. The commis sioners further stated that it appeared from an instrument, stated in the life of Bishop Waynfiete to have been executed by hiss on the 2nd August, 1846, that the charity had been so stripped during the civil wars of the possessions conferred on it by Cardinal Beaufort, that it was impossible his intentions could be fulfilled, and the Bishop there fore directed that with what remained one chaplain and two brethren only should be maintained. It must be remarked that from this charter Bishop Waynete alone was empowered to make regula tions, and he and his successors were appointed to name the chaplain's brethren and sisters. He now came to a matter of importance in this case. A suit had been insti tuted in the reign of Elisabeth against the Hospital .for first-fruits and tenths, and the Hospital pleaded that the revenues of the Hospital were all applied to the use of the poor, and that in consequence bye statute of Elizabeth they were exempt. The court sent a command to the Bishop of Winchester directing hint to search his register, by which he might ascertain the truth of the allegation. The bishop sent • certifteate that he had searched his register, and he hand that the said house or hospital was founded, and the possessions thereof used, for the relief of the poor. Where upon the court adjudged that the hospital was discharged Intone payment of first-fruits and tenths. It appear' that, notwithstanding all the attempts to keep the revenues under control, the tendency to abuses revived, and the re venues were again converted by the masters to their own uses. la consequence of this an act was passed in the 18th of Elizabeth which recited that one Reynolds, the master of the hospital, had leased the lands at an under value, and that there was a secret trust between him and the Inns whereby he received part of the benefit. The act dealing these leases void, and declared that neither the master an the brethren should have power to turn the feuds d Ace hospital from their original uses. Notwinablesind Ob. however, it appeared that is the weak* emelelei the master and brethren took upon themeden to alter the destination and distribution of dmn funds, and to establish every thing on a different fee in Boa. la 1696, a document was drawn up which had= by the name of the Consetudinarium, which had been upon to justify the departure from the ancient terms and conditions of the foundation. It was dated the 10th July. 1696, and it began by reciting that it was drawn up by the master and brethren. It recited that upon strict and dili gent search no statutes could be found to direct the govern ment and regulation of the hospital, but that the same was now governed by custom and usage ; that differences had arisen between die master and brethren for remedy whereof, and, to prevent all future differences, the master and brethren had mutually agreed that the customs and usages thereafter written down had been the cus toms and usages by which the hospital had been governed ; and that inasmuch as the Bishop of Winchester had been the patron and visitor of the same, they beseeched him to ratify the saute. Then followed the customs and usages, which, amongst other things, stated that the master received all the profits and revenues thereof, out of which he bore the whole charges of the house, and that if there was any overplus he had the right to retain it himself, that he had the right to keep the common seal of the Hospital, and with it, in the common hall, to seal all leases and other documents, and that he had the tight to the perwroal estate of every brother dying 'whether such goods were in the possession of the perms so dying or in the posses ion of any other person ; and that he had the right to appoint the chaplain and steward of the Use. pital ; that upon the sealing of each renewal of as each brother was to have 2d. in the pound on the paid for the renewal, and that the whole fines of emboli estates had been paid to the master for his own support He now came to the important consideration, what wee the existing condition of the charity. It appeared that tbe annual income from the reserved rents amounted to 1,3661., but the system of letting the property of this hos pital, which consisted for the most part of very valuable tithes, had been to let it upon leases upon lives, renewable by fines, and it appeared that if instead of being let on this system the property was let at rack rent, the income of the charity would be at least 10,0001. per annum. The property of the original foundation of St. Cross Hospital would yield 6,0001. a year, and that of the second founlation was worth 4,0001. a year, and in the nurse of the last century there had been received in fines, and ap propriated to the use of the muter, the sum of 46,0461. The present master, the Earl of Guilford, was appointed in 1808, but it so happened that the previous master was for some years prior to his death in a state of incompetency from imbecility or insanity to execute any licenses, the con sequence of which was that there was a considerable accu mulation when Lord Guildford got the office. Therefore be might take it that Lord Guildford bad received 45,0001., and of that sum 5,0001. or 6,0001. had been expended in re pairs. Besides this, 1,0881. of the annual income was con sumed by the ordinary expenses of the charity. Now there was no doubt that this charity, with this income of 10,0001. per annum, was capable of being applied to most important and useful purposes, and what they asked his Honour to con sider and decide was whether the charity was entitled to the whole of this fund, subject to such allowances as the court should think the master was entitled to. It would be said, no doubt, that Lord Guildford had done no more than his predeceseen, and that he had acted in conformity with the consetudinarium; and, not only that, but that there was high authority for saying that the master was not subject to any jurisdiction of this court, and that he was entitled to dispose of the surplus of these revenues as he thought proper. An opinion of Lord Stowell's would be brought under consideration. It seemed the question was brought before hint as to whether it was an ecclesiastical benefice or not, and he gave his opinion that it was. The answer to that was, that he had not the whole of the case before him. No doubt it was the fact, that for several centuries the mastership of this hospital had been conferred upon ecclesiastical persons, and it would be argued that the Crown had exercised its right, on the pro motion of the master to the hospital to be a bishop, to present to the vacant mastership, and Lord Stowell, on the case being put to him, said the Crown had the right, but it did not appear that the original foundation or the charter were laid before him. It also ap• peered that Sir William Wynn, on a subsequent occasion, had given a contrary opinion, and had further stated, that the appropriation of the funds, as then practised, was illegal. There was nothing in the original foundation to require that the master should be in holy orders. The learned gen tleman then went on to contend that it was clear the object of the charity was to benefit the poor brethren ; that there was nothing in the foundation which justified the master converting the profit to his own use ; that the consetudi nanum, which had cut down the recipients to 40, was al together invalid ; and he appealed to the court, whether this charity, being endowed with 10,0001. • year, nine tenths of that sum should be devoted to the use of one indi vidual. He trusted his Honour would be of opinion that Lord Guildford should be called on to account. What they ptayed was, that his Honour would declare that the master was not entitled to the surplus of the revnue to his own use, that it be applied to the pur poses of the charity, and that a scheme may be prepared by which this charity might be devoted, not to the private emolument of one individual, but to purposes of public utility. Sir F. Kelly—l have not heard that you ask more than fora decrees alto the future. Do you ask more ? The Attorney•Deneral— Certainly ; I shall claim every thing which the court will allow. The Master of the Rolls—l understood you to ask for an account of the past. The court, in these cases, assuming that it is bound to interfere to set the matter right, is not in the habit of making persons refund rents received in mis take. When was the information filed?

STEYEN4OS t TOONILS.—LIAKILITY Or INIFICTOR Or WIIIOIITA AND MEASIMEi. T Lis was an appeal from the decision of a county court judge. The questions presented to this court upon a former day,when the matter was argued, were two. First, whether the inspector of weights and measures was justified in seizing a false weighing machine ; and (if this were an swered in the negative), secondly, whether, where a false seizure occurred, the fact of his having acted in a bona fide manner, under the act relating to weights and measures, did not indemnify him against the consequence of the seizure. At the sitting of the court, Lord Campbell delivered judg ment. As to the first qnestion, at the time of the argument the court intimated an opinion that the inspector was not justified in seizing the machine, and to this opinion their lordships adhered. The second question therefore arose, and ft turned upon the construction of the 16th sec. of the act of William IV. Now this section, in effect, said that the party damnified by the act of. the inspector should recover, unless amends were tendered before action. In this case it did not appear that any tender of amends had been made. The judgment of the court below,_ which was against the inspector, must therefore be a ffi rmed. Judgment affirmed.

This was an action to recover damages for assault and false imprisonment, and it was tried before Mr. Justice Talfourd, at the last sittings in London ; when the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 251. upon two counts ; and for one farthing upon another count. The facts of the case have already appeared. Mr. Serie.

This was an action to recever the sum of 301. on three promissory notes of 101. each, given by the defendant to the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff, Madame Matilde Colbert, had formerly resided at No. 14, Sherrard-street, Soho. She af t erwar ds took a house in Newman-street, Ox ford-street, and then became anxious to get rid of her for mer house, of which she held a lease. The defendant agreed to give SOL for the lease, of which amount she was to pay 601. down, and give the three notes in question of 101. each. The 501. were duly paid, but the notes, on arriv ing at maturity, were dishonoured. The defendant pleaded that the notes had been given for an illegal and immoral purpose, inasmuch as the house had been one of ill fame, and was intended to be continued for that purpose. The handwriting of the defendant to the notes was proved by Mr. OdeU, a clerk to the Chartered Oaa Company. Mr. Parry was about to address the jury for the defend ant, when a consultation between himselt and Mr. James, for the plaintiff, resulted in the matter being referred. ADMIRALTY COURT.-YESTERDAT. D.roaz Da. Lvesmoros. Tits ALZWI.—DAKAos. This was a proceeding instituted by the proprietors of the Daniel Webster, an American vessel, bound from Liver pool to Boston, United Sates, against the barque Alert, bound from Waterford to CanlS, for a collision which had occurred on the 17th of January in the Irish channel. There was also a cross action. On behalf of the Webster it was alleged that about 2 o'clock p.m., they saw the Alert ap proaching. but as thee were close-hauled on the starboard tack, they held on their course. The barque, however, in stead of giving way, came on, and the collision occurred. When they (the crew of the Webster) saw that an accident was inevitable, they ported to lessen the force of the blow ; but it was ;toted, on the other side, that thsy had star beeesded whelk they ought to have held on, and had thus NNW the maim Des. Bayed and Twigs appeared for the Daniel Webster ; Drs. Addams and Curteis for the Alert. The Trinity Masters were of opinion that the Alert was the only vessel to blame, and The Cemrt pronounced accordingly. Tun HOUTHANDEL.—SALVAOZ. This was a suit to recover compensation for salvage ser- vices afforded from the Bth to the 10th of October, by a carrying venal, the Elizabeth, awl three fishing smacks, to the galliot Houthiutdel, bound from Chrietiansand to Har lingen, with timber. On the 7th the galliot had been struck by a heavy sea, which bad disabled her rudder, and she was drifting in great distress towards the Dutch coast, from which she war about 30 miles distant, when the snacks took her in tow and brought her to Lowes toft. The defence was, that the 'elvers had been guilty of misconduct in not taking her into the Tend as the crew had desired. Several hawsers had been broken, and the Elizabeth had lost a cargo of ice which she was taking out to the fishing boats. The value of the vessel, her cargo and freight, was 7001., and the action had been entered for 6001. Doctors Haggard and Jeaner appeared for the sal, ars ; and Dr. Hayford for the owners. Dr. Lustungton, after severely reprobating the practice of entering actions for exorbitant sums, and putting the owners to the inconvenience of finding bail for an unneces sary amount, awarded the sum of 1201. to the salvon.

Mary Morro, keeper of a private boarding-house in Cecil - stmt, trend, was charged, on several informations, with having retailed wines, spirits, and beer, without license. Mr. Savage, an officer of excise, said that on the 11th of February he went to the house of the defendant, No. 12, Cedistreet, Strand, where he took lodgings. He dined there that evening, with several other persons, in the public room, and, after dinner, he was asked by the defendant's son-in-law if he would take anything to drink. He replied that he would take a little brandy-and-water ; upon which this person gave • key to a waiter, who returned with a bottle of brandy and set it before him. The waiter was not gone more than two minutes. On the following day he dined with a friend, when they had stout and a bottle of sherry, both of which articles were served immediately. On the next day, being Sunday, be dined with the com pany, and bad brandy again ; and, on Monday, he had ale and cigars. lie then called for his bill, which he paid, and went away. The defendant said she slid not know that she was doing wrong, and might have gone on for years in ignorance of having vitiated the law. In answer to one of the commissioners, the supervisor said Mrs. Morgan had occupied these premises for about 14 years.

Ix fE LACT.—QI7IIIITION AS TO THII VALVE of BANNING This was • dividend meeting, in the cue of John George Lacy, gun manufacturer, of Great St. Helens, Bishopagate• street, who became bankrupt about a twelvemonth ago, in consequence of the failure of his son-irelaw, A. A. Luker steen, for whom he had given guarantees and accepted bills to a large amount. Mr. Pearson now appeared in support of a claim by the Commercial Bank, founded on two bills of exchange, drawn by Lackenteen, and accepted by the bankrupt—one for 2,5001., dated let December, 1851, the other for 1,500/., dated 23d February, 1852—both payable at four months. The circumstances of the first bill were peculiar, and in rogue of it the bank only sought to enter • claim , they wished to prove fur the amount of the second, ohm deducting • sum of 1,0001., the value of shares he tie bank held by the bankrupt. It was stated thonth t i t o i r e bankrupt u had een w lg o n u t in the consideration,ofkQb he always Ink are to see that they were covered by the pro tasis ed imts ; and, in the case of the 2,5001. bill, he and Leriu aMea went to the Commercial Bank to get the bill discounted ; but Mr. Cutbill, the manager , refuted to discount it without something more than :their endorse- meats. Thereupon, they assured him that there were proceeds sufficient to cover the bill, and distinctly consented to give the bank • lien on certain produce which had been shipped to Singapore. They, therefore, wished to enter a claim, so as to be allowed to fulluw those shipments. Mr. Aspland and Mr. Reed, for the assignees, admitted the bankrupt's liability on the bill, but contended that no proof could be made upon it, except on the usual condition of waiving the security. His Honour said the claim must come within the ordi nary rule. Either the bank might give up their security and prove, or they might have it sold, and prove for the difference. Mr. Pearson submitted that they ought not to be put to their election, in the first instance, but that a claim should be entered and the dividend reserved. The Cor locking up Pearson _--....aier—Can you show me any authority for pt up chimney from the creditors in this way ? Mr. Pearson was not aware of any case where that point ad been decided. The Commissioner—Will there be any further assets ? Mr. Pennell (the official assignee)—Oh yes. The Commissioner—Then there is no necessity for lock ing up what you have is hand, and deferring the dividend ? Mr. Pennell—Not the slightest. There will be • further dividend. Mr. Reed—The bank makes a claim on the property at Singapore ; if they get it they will be satisfied; if not, there is quite enough to pay their dividend. If they choose to abandon their security, and prove for the whole 2,500/., We will consent to that; but we deny that they have any MIS am those Gessigaments. Peanal agreed to withdraw the claim ; and it was siggehted thee the question of lien might be decided by Ilwaw let the alwaaissiunerp, with the consent of the parties, se at WU bilhileg without an appeal. lb, app be had sever made any secret of his °plan r le is filidilifactery ma el appeal at present; mad be and avib=kit *h lan side would consent, I fin Weil Wills WIWI of their humus, la The Muter of the Rolls—Of course you do not uk for it before that time ?

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1853. the manner of the old Sub-division Court, it being under stood that the decision shoWd be binding, witnout the' right of appeal, unless their honours should differ in opinion. By that means, 10/, would go as far here u 1(01. in the appeal curt. Mr. Pearson consented to this arrangement, and • day was named for the argument. His Honour said it was a great pity that Mr. Reed's sug gestion to the parliamentary committee at the time the last act was before them, for the continuance of a court of appeal of three commissioners, bad not been acted upon ; it would have saved • great amount of money. Mr. Pearson then tendered his proof on the 1,5001. bill, and said the only question here was the amount of credit to be given to the bankrupt in respect of 50 shares which be had held is the bank. The sum paid on each share was 20/. ; and the bank contended that they ought not to give credit for more than 1,0001., though the market price of the shares, at the time of the bankruptcy, was something more, 1,4'51. The directors, by • resolution of their board, had forfeited the shares held by the bankrupt, which they con tended they had • right to do. By the 83rd section of the deed of settlement of the bank, which the bankrupt as a shareholder had signed, it was declared, " That the shares of every shareholder shall, be fore and in preference to every other right or claim what ever, be subject to and charged with the whole of the debts, liabilities, and engagements due from and sub sisting between him and the company. . . . And the directors are hereby authorised to extinguish and declare forfeited, or to sell and dispose of the shares of any share holder, in whole or in part, as the case may require, in satisfaction and discharge of the whole or any part of such debts, liabilities, and engagements." The 87th section of the same deed provided that the approval of the directors should be necessary to the sale or transfer of any shares; and this negatived the supposition of the assignees taking the shares into the market and selling them at the market price. Th e crenimissioner—Wheu were they sold ? Mr. Pearson said they had not been sold, but declared forfeited by the directors according to the disjunctive op tion which they possesse d. The Commissioner—Then the question will be, what was the value of the shares when the directors declared them forfeited, and how is that value to be ascertained ? Mr. Pearson—The only value which the dirsetors recog nise is the amount of the paid-up capital, that which stands in the books of the company. The Commissioaer—Suppose it bad been in the Law Life, where 101. is paid up, and the value of the shares is 401. or 601.7 There are many companies similarly circum stanced ; some where only 21. had been paid. Would you put no higher value than that on the shares ? Mr. Pearson contended that the deed of settlement was binding, as between the partners, u to the value of the shares. The —.oner—What becomes of. the forfeited shares? Are they not re-sold by the directors? Mr. Pearson said they were extinguished, and became as though they had been. If re-sold it must be dune by a subsequent act of the direetors. His Honour said the bank was bound, by its deed of set tlement, to keep up its amount of capital, and consequent number of shares. He wished to know what had been done with the shares in this instance ? Mr. Pearson said the directors might have re-issued au equal number of shares, but there was nothing to ear-mark the shares, so as to identify those which the bankrupt had held. The Commissioner—How much has been paid upon the shares ? Mr. Cutbill, the manager of the bank—Ten per cent. originally, and afterwards other 10 per cent., making 20 per cent. in the whole. In our account with the bankrupt we set off 50 new shares, at 201. each, against the amount of the bills. Mr. Pearson submitted that if the shares bad fallen in the market, instead of rising, the directors would have been bound, in forfeiting the shares, to set off the amount paid up. As these shares could only be transferred by consent ed the other partners, there could in reality be no market price. Ile would suppose a pa rtnership of three persons to exist for the manufacture and sale of some article which conferred great benefits on mankind—Holloway's pills, for example—(laughter)—if one of the three, who was in pos session of the valuable secret, chose to retire, he could not &pee of his interest to any stranger, who might divulge the meret to the world. The consent of the other partners would be necessary ; so that there could in reality be no market value of the property. The Commissioner—lt is a mere question of justice and equity what you ought to set off; and you ought to set off what you could make of the shares. If you go into the market now, I suppose you can realise ? Mr. Aspland—The shares are now higher than ever is the market. The Commissioner—My strong impression is, that it would be the height of injustice net to allow the value of the shares at the time of the forfeiture You can go and get the money for those shares wh you like, and gain by it. There are hundreds of people who would be glad to give the price. Mr. A. R. Cutbill, the manager of the bank, was then examined. He deposed that the value of the shares at the date of the forfeiture (Sept. 7, 1852), was from 281. to 291. per share, estimating from sales made at the time. Their present value was about 32/. per share. After the bankruptcy; but before the forfeiture of the shares, a dividend had been declared, whieb would amount to 301. on fifty shares. The assignees were clearly entitled to credit for that. Lsckenteen held ten sUrn in the bank. Those shares were sold by his assignees, with the consent of the bank, at about the same price, 291., and his account was credited with the proem& Lackenteen was still a debtor to the bank, irrespective sit the bill now sought to be proved against Lacy's estate ; but Lacy's guarantee extended over the whole—it was a gene ral guarantee against loss. The bank had proved on that guarantee for 5411., independently of the bills ; from this ' the value of Lackenteen's shares was or ought to have I been, deducted. If the bank had not given credit for those shares, they would readily do so. Mr. Lacy stood in their share capital account as a creditor for 1,0001. The entry had been cancelled. The directors were willing to sell the shares, and apply the proceeds to the liquidation of the ' debt; but there being some difficulty about the transfer, they resorted to the other alternative, of forfeiture. The Commissioner—Have you still got the full number of shares ? Cutbill—We have re-issued other 50 shares, so as to asp the number. .The Commissioner—How do you identify the shares ? Mr. Cutbill—By the certificates. We were placed in this difficulty. We cannot in our books recognise a market value ; therefore in the forfeiture we only destroyed what we had received on the shares. We re-issued other shares, so se to fill up our number, but did not give them the same numbers. We merely destroy the interest of one gentle man in our share capital and enter another, dealing with it very much like a banking account. The Commissioner—As by your deed of settlement you were to have 20,000 shares, yon must keep up the number, I suppose ? Mr. Cutbill—We keep up merely the name of the pro prietor, destroying it in such a case as this, which is the only instance we have had, and issuing fresh shares is other The Commisaioner—And without reference to the num bs's ? Kr. Cutbill—Having once made up oar number, we are ant now • with regard to the numbers, as a mesas al the shares ; but we do trace them by moss et * tl~ sae TM Cassuhaisasr—But would not the other be a War way of identifying them ? Mr. Cutbill—We identify them in some way with the other numbers. Mr. Aspland—You say those shares were re-issued ? Mr. Cutbill—They were. Mr. Aspland—At what price ? Ils. Cutbill—l am not quite sure ; 291 or 29. Whatever is, we will make that right. The Commissioner—That is the best possible evidence. Mr. Reed—Then, whatever sum the shares may have realised, that must be deducted from the proof. Mr. Cutbill—Whatever was the proceeds of those 50 shares, we will give them credit for it. The proof was then admitted, subject to that deduction; also the amount of the dividend, if any, declared between , I the bankruptcy and the forfeiture. in MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. WORE MR. 811./lAIT ADAMS, ABWITANT JUDOS, AT CUMIN John Judd, a young man having the appearance of a labourer, wee indicted for having unlawfully assaulted Mary Co lston, with intent, &c. While Mr. Parry was stating the case, it was intimated that the defendant would plead Guilty to the charge of common assault. • The Assistant Judge said the view be took of these cases was, that it did not follow that if a man committed an assault of this description, he had the intention of obtaining his object by force, if resistance was offered, unless such a conclusion was inevitable from the evidence. After some discussion, the defendant pleaded Guilty to the second and third counts of the indictment. The Assistant Judge then read the depositions, from which it appeared that the prosecutrix, a girl about nine teen, living with her mother, a widow, at No. 3, Angel court, Shoreditch, had been keeping company with the defendant for about six weeks prior to the transaction, which led to the present prosecution. On the evening of the 23rd of April he called at her mother's house, and re quested her to take a walk with him, and she consented, on his promising to take care of her. They went to the Victoria-park. On arriving there, about ten o'clock, and before they had gone far, he suddenly threw her down, placed one hand on her mouth, and with the other ranged her dress. She screamed out loudly, in consequence of which he desisted and went away. She followed him in the hope that he was going out of the park as she did not know the way, when he suddenly turned round and repeated his conduct, with the exception that he did not disarrange her dress. She succeeded in getting from him, and begged of him to take her home, but the only answer be made was one of a very gross description. She again begged of him to take her home, upon which he conducted himself in a most indecent manner. Ile then went away, and she followed him out of the park, after which he asked ' her to drink with him, but she refused, and told a female she met, named Stepto, what had happened, and seeing her in conversation with her the defendant came up and used a very base expression. This female, who lived at No. 4, Grove-street, Hackney, took her home with her, and in formed her husband what hid taken place, and he went oat , to look for the defendant, but could not find him. The prosecutrin was placed in the care of a park-keeper, who i took her to Cripplegate, and subsequently a warrant was ; obtained for the defendant's apprehension. Her month , bled very much. )tr. Cooper said them war no doubt an assault had boa committed by the defendant. but he desisted when he found the prosecutrix refused compli nice. The defendant pleadtd guilty to the assault, and deeply regretted that it had oc curred. Ile had a great affection fur her, and bad it not been that he had been drinking, in all probability it would nut have taken place. A witness gave the defendant a good moral character. The Assistant Judge, after conferring with Mr. Witham, sentenced the defendant to three months' imprisonment. Ephraim Hill was indicted for having assaulted Sarah Pew, Susan Price, and William Halsworth. The defendant went with a prostitute named Price to a brothel kept by the prosccutris Peto in the Vincgar-ground, St. Luke's, and having a dispute with her, Mn. Peto intet fered, whereupon he assaulted them both with a poker, and also assaulted Halsworth, a constable, who was called to the spot. Mr. Flom addressed the jury for the defendant, and caned two witnesses, whose evidence went to show that the defendant was not the aggressor, but really the aggrieved party. The jury found the defendant Guilty of the assault on Peto and the constable, and the court sentenced him to two months' bard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. John Whaley, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. But cher and Co., of Nos. 115 and 116, Bisbopegate-street, wholesale confectioners, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of that firm. Tradesmen from different parts of the town proved that they had paid money to the prisoner on account of his em ployers in the year 1852, and evidence was brought forward to show that none of these sums, the aggregate of which was stated to be very considerable, had been paid into the concern. The plan adopted by the prisoner for keeping up the process of imposition, of which it may be useful to masters of extensive business to be informed, may be said, from the evidence of one of.the principals, to be briefly as follows: _ _ - There is a book called the till-book in which sums are en tered as received, which are carried to the cub-book. The prisoner had omitted to book entries in either of these books, but in the ledger he had given credit for the whole amount received by him, and by such means he had for a considerable time eluded detection, and it was not until a full investigation of all the books, which occupied a month, was made, that the fraud was discovered. The prisoner, who entered the service of the house in 1850, had tried his fortune in betting-houses, and told the officer who apprehended him that he had been too extra vagant. Committed for trial. Frederick Mar Bruck and WilkeNina Bruck, charged with having stolen a diamond ring in the shop of Messrs. Williams and Clapham, in the Strand, jewellers, were brought up for further examination. The Lord Mayor said the thieves had lately made awful plunder amongst the jewellers, and expressed a hope that there would be a full attendance of spectators on Saturday next, till which day be remanded the prisonen. CLERKENWELJ.,. John Gill, 11 years of age, was charged with having thrown a stone at a railway train, on the line of the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Rail way. The prisoner was seen to pick up a stone, and throw it at the train, which was full of passengers, as it was proceeding along the line, near the Caledonian-road, Islington, when he was pursued and taken into custody by Thompson, a de tective officer. After hearing the evidence, Mr. Tyrwbitt suggested that it was most important in such a case that the directors of the company should be ' consulted, and to have their solicitor present, and for which be would remand the prisoner, who was remanded for a week. He was, however, admitted to bail, and in pursu ance to which he appeared, when a clerk from Messrs. Tyrrell, Paine, aid Layton, solicitors to the above company, attended, and said the directors of the company declined prosecuting the prisoner in consideration of his youth, trusting he would be cautious in future. Mr. fyrwhitt told the prisoner h.: ought to be exceed ingly thankful to the railway company, who had shown mercy to him, and discharged him from custody. WORSHIP-STREET. Three married women, named Sarah Layton, Mary Mills, and Amy Payne, were charged with having conspired and obtained by means of fraudulent representations, the sum of 41.45. from the Eastern Metropolitan Loan Company, in the Whitechapel-road. Mr. John Cook, manager to the company, stated that about two months since an application was left at their office in the usual form, for a loan of 41. is. on behalf of one William Lawson, of Nelson-street, Stepney, and wl.ich contained the name of William Mills, residing in the same street, as the proposed surety. On proceeding to the first address, he saw the prisoner Layton, who told him that she was aware of the loan having been applied for by her hus band, who was a oosl-porter, and that they rented the whole of the house in which they resided, at the same time pro ducing a book, which she described as her rent-book, in confirmation of her statement. Witness then called at the above address, where he saw the prisoner Mills, who informed him that her husband was in the employment of the Great Central Gas Company, and having also assured him that he was perfectly agreeable to guarantee the repayment of the loan, and that they occu pied the entire house, he left directions for the two hus bands to call upon him the same afternoon with the rent books already exhibited to him to receive the amount re quired. At the time appointed, two men presented them selves at his office, and having introduced themselves as the husbands of the prisoners Layton and Mills, and produced the same rent books as he had before seen, be at once handed them 31.145. 6d., and received in return a nets of hand for 41. 4s. It was understood that the amount was to be repaid by weekly instalments of 2a., two of which were afterwards punctually paid, but neither of the others bad been received, and shortly after they had fallen into urear, a decent-looking working man, who represented himself as the husband of the prisoner Layton, called upon him in ex treme tribulation, and intimated to him that he had acci dentally discovered a loan book in his wife's drawer, relating to an advance of money which had been obtained in his name and as she was a woman of very dis sipated habits, he was afraid he mast have been fraudently personated by some other man, as he was a complete stranger to the transaction. On bearing this communication, he immediately repaired to Rayton's house ; but, before he had time to mention the business to his wife, she exclaimed, " I know what you have come about, and will tell you the whole truth. The fact is, that Mrs. Mills and I got two men to represent our husbands, in order to obtain the money, which was equally divided be ' tween us and her landlady, Mrs. Payne, who lent her own ' rent-book to carry out the fraud, as neither of us are housekeepers." Witness then proceeded to the house of the prisoner Payne, who acknowledged that the woman Mills and her husband were merely lodgers in her house ; and having also admitted that she had herself received a portion of the loan, he sent for a policeman and gave the whole of the prisoners into custody. On king called upon for their defence, the prisoners launched out into a bitter strain of mutual recrimination, but severally admitted that neither of their husbands had the slightest cognisance or participation in the transaction. r The prisoners were remanded. MARYLEBONE. Malthev Kew, a cab driver, was charged with brutality towards his horse. Police constable Potter, 84 D, deposed that on the same morning, between 4 and 5 o'clock, as he was on duty in South-street, Manchester-square, he saw the prisoner stand ing up on the foot-board of his seat, and lashing the horse with all his might; he flogged the animal at least thirty times, and on witness laying hold of the horse, which was scarcely able to move, he found numerous wounds upon the flanks and legs, from which blood was flowing profusely ; upon lifting up the saddle, he discovered a large wound upon the back, and there were also large sores upon the shoulders. Witness took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed the horse and cab to the green-yard. The prisoner,:in answer to the charge, said that when ho brought the horse out in the morning it was in the same condition in which the officer found it. Other men who had had the horse out might have caused the injury com plained of. lie had not by any art of his inflicted the wounds complained of. He was fined 405., or six weeks' imprisonment. John Stanbridge, a cabman, was charged with cruelty to his horse. It appeared from the evidence, that oa the same morning, between a and 6 o'clock, Martin, 363 S, saw the prisoner's cab on the rank in Seymour-street, near the Euston Railway station. The horse wu in a shocking condition, and scarcely able to stand ; it was bleeding from wounds upon its knees. Prisoner said it was no fault of his, it bad fallen down. There were raw wounds upon each hip. The prisoner was fined 205., or a month's imprisonment. SOUTHWARK. • . _ . George Finch, the owner and driver of a cab, was charged with over -working a diseased horse. Policeman, 236 M, stated that on the previous evening he saw the defendant driving a cab along lilackman-foreet, the horse attached to which was in such a weak condition that it seemed hardly able to drag one leg after another, that both its knees were broken. and its body underneath the harness was one mass of sores , The vehicle itself was in a very filthy condition, and was what is called a " night cab," which is generally employed in picking up drunken tun and conveying ladies of a certain class to and from the places of nightly entertainment. Finding the horse was sot fit to work, he took the dr 6 ndant to the station house, and the animal was then in the yard at the back of the , court. IThe defendant said, although the horse looked bad, yet he would go right well, and was not half so bad as he looked. I Mr. Combe went out into the yard and examined the horse, and on his return and, he never saw an animal in " a much worse condition ; that it was a shame to put it in harness to drag a public vehicle, it bring scarcely able to drag itself along, much lees a heavy cab. The magistrate ' then gave the defendant his choice, whether he would be IRind ' or elm consent to have the horse immediately taken to the slaughterer's and killed. The defendant hesitated, and at length inqu ired if he might be permitted to drive the cab over to lottenham court-ruad, and that he would then have the horse killed. i w " ou s li o l r a in g ilios i s ia t e th t e o kt, t as ak o e n n the in a C ci ° ge lmi de w te o n u i l l a an F : t : O reo. custody for the tame offence. The magistrate then ordered the defendant's license to be impounded, and not returned until the policeman brought word that the animal was slaughtered. MARKETS. COTTON.—Ltxzgroox, M tlif 4 —The market closed rely firmly, and, compared with the currency of last week prices of American were a turn agai , st the buyers, but other sorts were without change. 'r he sales amounted to 8,000 bales, and comprise abut 5,000 Americans, 500 for export. and 500 for speculation, 1,300 Pernams and Mayan hams, Gd. to 71d. ; 450 Bahia, 61d. to 63d . ; 400 Egyptian, 615. to 85.; 500 Surat, 31d. to 415. ; 170 Sea Islands, 215. to 2s. Bd. HIDE AND LEATHER TRADE.—The annexed remarks are extracted from the circular of Messrs. T. J. and T. Powell LONDON, MAY 4, 1853.—The transactions in leather during the past month, although not equal in extent to the two preceding months, have been to a fully average amount, and at prices generally quite equal to the quotations of our April price current. We hardly know an article which has receded, and in some few cases we have had an advance to make in our present prices.—Foreign tanned leather : The imports to which we have alluded as having been con siderable during the month, have consisted chiefly of sole hides and sides, dressing hides, and curried shoe hides from France and Germany, with fully the usual supply of calf skins, tanned, and curried. These articles have toe large extent found buyers at our quotations, but some considerable stock is still on the market.—The imports during the past month consist of 18 930 salted and 7,337 dry River Plate ox and cow with 1,662 salted and 5,200 dry horse hides, 1.500 salted Rio Janeiro ox and cow hides-15,610 salted Now South Wales hides-3,517 salted Cape hides-4,481 drysalted Br mil bides-6,300 salted Danish-513 salted Flemish -1,207 salted and 970 dry German-4,216 salted and 601 dry Dutch hides-204 salted and 774 dry German horse hides -500 Calcutta buffalos-114,000 East India Kips— ,2l tons oak bark-154 tons Mimosa-200 tons Va lonia-13G tons Divi Divi, and 220 tons Gambier. — Salted River Plate Hides: Two vessels from Buenos Ayres have arrived during the past month, bringing 15,187 hides, the greater par: of which are sold, or, to speak more cor rectly, ha d been purchased previous t.) arrival, and of course at e rices which do not transpire. Beside these there have arrived, via the continent, 3,131 hides, of which 100 light ex were sold at 5101., and 253 heavy and light ox together at 60.; it is also stated that 4,488 have been sold at ed. for both heavy and light ox. The usual statements give the import of the month as 18,930, the sales as 15 ; 336, sad the present stock as 3,883. But the system of buying for arrival, which is alike injurious to the importer and the manufacturer, destroys statistical accuracy, and leaves the CMof the trade greatly in obscurity. English Oak e have taken means to ascertain the prospects of the bark trade this year, and have now before us numerous reports from various parts of the kingdom, written by gen tlemen wham pursuits and intelligence enable them to give opinions upon which we can rely. In so large field as this, some discrepancies must of course exist, but on one or two points almost the whole of our correspondents agree. ' A full average fall' is the report of more than three-fourths of our friends, and with very few exceptions all bear testimony to its stripping well, so far as it has yet gone, but intimating that the season is scarcely enough advanced to determine its quality. There is another point on which there is a great uniformity among our correspondents—that the growers and dealers in bark ask higher prices than last year. A few say ' last year's prices, but by far the majority state that ss. per ton more is demanded. Some are of opinion that the present WO prices of raw hides is a guarantee that there will be so permanent advance in bark, but from all we see, we be hove the price will much depend on the weather—our manufacturers knowing how much they suffered in the past year by the bad harvest, will buy very cautiously this yi ar should the weather be unfavourable. To the present time very few sales have been reported. In the ' Dean Forest' about 2,000 tons of the government hark were offered for sale, and there were sold 1,100 tons of tree bark at 31.55. to 31. 7s. 6d. per ton (of 20 cwt.) ana 600 tons of coppice at 31. 17s. 6d. to 41. us. As regards the present stack, it is difficult to speak with certainty, but we believe the tanners generally have about their usual quantities, and it is well known that much of last year's greatly damaged is still in dealers' hands, which may be purchased (hatched) at 41. to 51. per ton. Market bides have been gradually declining in price during the month, and may be quoted 3s. per hide lower than at its commencement. Market horse hides re 63. higDer . Market ealf skins remain unaltered." CORN.—Bono:4, May 4.—We have had a fair show of Wheat today, and prices a little under last week's currency ; red, 41s. to 475. ; white, 495. No change to note in the value of Beau, 345. to 345. - - - SToctrox.og-Tans, May 4—We had a good supply of gram to this day's market from the growers. Wheat met a fair demand at last week's prices for best thrashed parcels, other sorts were the turn lower. Beans and Oats sold at full prices. In other articles no change. Imports during the put week :—Wheat, coastwise, 310 qrs. ; foreign, 3,022 ; Barley, 16 ; Peas, coastwise, 31 ; foreign, 250. DunLIN, May 3.—Our Corn trade to-day was the dullest of the season. There was scarcely any business transacted, but the general tendency of prices was in favour of buyers. We do not, however, alter our quotations of Friday. White Wheat 26.. to 30s. ; red. 2-as. to 28s. ; Barley, 13s. to 16s. 6d. ; Oats, 10s. to 11s. 92. •, Rapeseed, 21s. to 231. per brl. ; Oatmeal, Ils. to 125.; bakers' Flour, 141. to 18s. per cwt. ; Indian Corn, 30s. to 335. 9d. per 4801bs. CATTLE.—LEEns, MAY 4.—There were 800 cattle and 6,000 sheep for sale at this fair to-day. Buyers were nume rous. Cattle realised 81. to Bs. 4d. per stone of 16 lbs. Sheep in wool sold at 71d. to Bd., and shorn sheep at 6d. prr lb. Bosworth, May 4.—We had a good quantity of stock at onr market to-day, which met a ready sale, at prices quite equal to last week. Beef, 3s. Bd. to 4s. 6d. Mutton, 30. 10d. to 4s. Bd. Lamb, de. to Ga. Veal, 3a. 10s. to 4s. 10d. Pork, 3s. Bd. to 4a. 10d. WILTON St. GILES'S FAIR, May 4 —At this fair to day we had a fair number of Sheep penned, though not so many as at previous fairs, and the quality genreally was very good. There was also a tolerably full attendance of buyers, which caused the business in Sheep to rule brisk, notwithstanding the fearfully high prices asked. Everything found ready purchasers at an early hour ; the prices ruled quite as good, if not better, than at Downton fair a few days since, namely, Tega from 235. to 455., and cou ples-from 325. to 50s. Several pens were much ad mired for size and quality, amongst which was a pen of fine tegs, which were sold for 6.55. per bead, and gained a prize of a silver cup. There was a fair supply of horned Cattle, and a middling amount of business doing. Barreners realised from 6/. 10s. to 111., and Cows, with Calves, from 9/. to 131. A short supply of Pigs, which fully realised their late value. Thero were a good many Horses in the fair, par ticularly of the rougher sorts; the sale was rather dull, but, notwithstanding, good prices were obtained, and more especially for Horses suited for agricultural purposes.
