Mr. Commissioner Bkinow decided that William Edmonds nut having teen • duly registered share holder in cumquats of hi. not having executed the deed of settlement, all that had been done was inoperative, and that the assignees were entitled to the shares. as part of the unite. The question now came on on appeal from this decasiou, and was whether an ailottee of skates scold sell his interest without executing the share holders' deed of settlement, and Whig duly registered, and whether such a contract to sell could be sustained con-is'- eatly with the 26th section of the Registration Act, 7 and 8 Victoria, e. 110, which provides " that with regard to sub scribers and every potion 1 ntitled to any share in any joint stock company, the formation of which shall he commenced titer the let day of November, :1841, that until such joint stock company shall have obtained • certificate of complete reguernt.an and until any ouch subscriber or person shall have been duly registered as a tharenoller in the said registry Mice, it Anil' not be lawful fur such person to dispute by sale or mortgage of such share or of any interest therein, sad that ever, contract for, or sale er disposal of such slime said interest shall be void, and that terry person entering into such contract shall forfeit a sum nut exceed ing 161." Their lordships now delivered judgment, and stated that the consideration which they had given to the ease had not altered the first impression they entertained, that it was not one in which there wee any difference in equity in the principle of law, that the legislator* had made it im perative that before any one couid sell his interest in any joint stork shares he must be a completely registered share holder of • company. la tho latter branch of the 26th sec tion of the Joint Stock Act there was no ambiguity with vegand to the meenieg of the words "subscriber" and "shat chattier," and it did not leave the matter in any doubt that the legislature was of opinion that contracts of the nature of that in this ease writ injurious to the public in terest', fora penalty was inflicted on any such dealings. The court, theref .re, was bound to say that it was contrary to the policy of the statute that such dealings should take place; brines which, they were declared by the act to be ahem lutely:aull and void. That being so, the question arose, what the position of Messrs. Nielson was. They had sold the shares in question at the instance of the bankrupt, who did not have them to sell, and they had, perhaps, Mewled • action, loss. That *mid not b helped, and whether they had • remedy by action against the assignees of the bankrupts. or could prove under the baulesuptcy for the value of the shares as so much money, it wag not for the court to say. Bat it clear that they could not hate any greater right than the purchaser of the shares had, and which the legislature had laid down. There was no alternative but to dismiss the petition with costs. SUMS TXU NUM& OT TU WALL DA XXIX V. MOULIN. Piziatiff is the wide" of the late Rev. Ches. Darkin, who was a baptist minister at Cirencester. Her maiden name was PeffAlDOre, and she was entitled, to her separate use, limier the will of Elizabeth Permeate, to 1,0001. stock in the Royal :Aching' Assurance Office ; and also to the resi due of the ("aurae" estate, which consisted amongst other things of two promissory notes of 1001., and 60r., and to some leasehold houses. She married Mr. Darkin in 1828, and previous to the marriage a deed;of settlement was exe cuted, whereby 3,6501., Three per Cent. Console, wu; trans ferred to trustee" for her separate use. The income arising from this property, together with Mr. Darkin's professional income, was more then sufficient for the sup port of Mr. and Mrs. Harkin, and savings were made which were from time to time invested in the funds, in the joint names of Mr. and Mrs. Darkin. In 1845 Mr. Darkin was desirous of bujiag a piece of land in Cirencester, and building thereon a house for his residence; and, as plaintiff alleged, it MAI agreed between him and her that a put of the stock which had been purchased with the savings should be sold out, and the produce applied in the porches" of the land aid building the house; and it was an under lauding that if Mr.Darkin survived her, the property should be as much hers as was the property which was held in trust for her. Plaintiff, however, happening to see the conveyance found that the land was conveyed to Mr. Darkin absolutely, on which she protested against it; and thereupon Mr. Darkin, " in order to utility her," made a will devising the lead to her. la October, 1852, Mr. Darkin died, and then it was found that he had made a subsequent will, by which he devised all his property to his brother, who, un der that devise, claimed the land in question and the house which bad been built upon it. Under these circumstances plaintiff filed this bill claiming the house and land, inas much as they had been bought with money which had been settled to her separate use. She also claimed the two promissory notes for 1001. and 601. which had been renewed and given to Mr Darkin, in his owe name, and a share in the Chartered Oas Com pany. Mr. Darkin, it was stated, bad no property of his own, and his professional income never exceeded 1001. a year, and for some years before his death did not amount to more than 801. a year. His Honour said he was disposed to think that it was acciiental only that it had been necessary to bring this case before the court, and that neither the husband, nor the wife, nor the brother, had intended to have any dispute about it. In his will, by which he bequeathed his property to his brother, Mr. Darkin did not formally revoke Me former will. The later will had that effect, it wee trio, but it was probable he did not know that, and that be thought that his former will secured the land and law to his wife ; and he intended to leave the rest of his pro perty to his brother, Ilia Honour added that he considered plaintiff was entitled to all the relief she sought, and there most be a declaration to that effect, with costs, so far as the husband's estate would pay them. YAttalAN 0. V The testatrix in this cause possessed, under her marriage settlement, a power of appointment by deed or will; in de fault of which the settled property was to go among the issue of that marriage. She exercised this power by ap pointing the property in settlement to the issue. Toe question was whether (thasmach as the paths is whose favour the appointment was made, were not mere eolith. teen or strangers to the deed, but the objects of its bounty) the property appointed was subject to the debts of the tee. tatrix.

This college, however, declined the gift, which was then offered to St. John's College, and accepted. The matter came before the court on a former *amino upon petiain, when it was referred to the Master to prepare a scheme, and it was decided that when that was done the bequest should 'gnu be offered to Magdalen Col lege The schema bad been settled, and as this college still adhered to its refusal, an applieatieu was now made to the court to confirm the scheme for the benefit of St. Jobs's.

This cans is a remarkable instance of the iaseturity at tendsat on the dedaction of title to au estate, and shows tbet an apparently peaceable and undisturbed possession for 40 years of an estate, even with the aid of an old outstand ing tenure, will not protect a purchaser against claim in cerain cases. The following is a brief outline of the facts of this cam--In 1799 a lady, the guardian of an infant te nant in tail of an estate, purchased the land tax thereon out of his personal estate, b uti she did not comply with the pro •isions of the act so sa to make it • legal charge on the in heritance. The certificate of redemption showed that it was a purchase by the guardian for the infant. On his death, under age, hi, guardian became his administratrix, and in a snit by her of Ware v. Polhill" (reported in 11 Yen', 267). L-.ird Eldon declared the Tent charges to he vested in the administratrix, and he directed proper deeds to be executed by the then t for life, and also by the then tenant in tail in remain der, on his attaining 21. This was imperfectly done. They by deed charged their estate., but no recovery was suffered, and the charge was ineffectual at law against per sons the severally entitled in remainder over. Both the de fendants, the tenant for life, and tenant in tail, died, and the remainder man, entitled on the determination of these estates, after he had entered into porsesaion of the estates, settled* pact of them. In the year 1842, the administratris of the infant tenant for life being dead, a npresentathe of the infant filed a bill against the person entitled under the at tains% sad la the taw at" Wan v. Polhill" (6 De ass and Son% 446), the court dewed tat thereat charge wet as. • irectual ineumbrane , en the estate in settlement. The tenant in rens euider, tx,ides settling parts of tee estate. re v...scaly noiripei•eil the other rut., met in the year It-35 add portion of the property to Lad Arden, the father et , the present defend: at, and conveyed it expressly " free et lahil tea -to his lord.hip. L .rd Ardis had no len‘wie dge of the decree by Lord Eldon, and on the investigation of the title hie solicitors bound that the land tax had been re deemed is 170, and it was assumed in the absence of all notice to the contrary, except that the redemption was e solvated to have been by an infant, that the land tax hail been merged. His lordship paid his pur chase ennui, and not only took the vim eyance but , obtained the assignment of an old attendant term to a matte to protect his title. He entered into the actual pm session of the property, and in 1842 be first received an in timation of the claim of the pl iintiff to a rent charge fur 671. ls. per annum, as representing the land tax, pay able out of the portion of the estates which he had par shame'. The present suit was instituted to enforce such claim against the present defendant, the son and heir-at law of Lnrd Arden. Mr. Glasse, Mr. O. L. Russell, and Mr. Ware were in support of the plaintiff's bill ; Mr. Malice and Mr. Raw linbun were for the defendants. After a lengthened argument the Vice. Chancellor de cide d that the plaintiff was entitled to the rent charge. The result of this decision is to fix on Lord Egmont's estate a rent charge of 671. ls., although, in 1835, he pur chased it as free from the Mad tax whinh that charge represents, and although, for anything that his advisers knew, the charges had ceased in 1799. It is believed that in the present state of the law it can hardly be doubted that the decision is entirely correct ; but a reference to the de tails of this ease will afford valuable subjects for considera tion in the changes now in contemplation in the law, by which the title to real property is held. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—YESTERDAY. smuso. AT NUN ►DIUG AT 4tILDBALL.7IIIPOSAI LOAD CADIDILL AND A I.PM 141. /CRT. HOLLAND V. 701.-PATENT CASE. Mr. Crowder, with Mr. W►bster, appeared for the plain tiff, end Sir F. Thesiger, with Mr. Hindmarsb, for the de fendant. This was an action brought to recover damages for the alleged infringement, by the defendant, of a patent taken ' out by the plaintiff, in 1840, for improvements in the con otruction of the steel frames of umbrellas and parasols. The chief improvement claimed by the plaintiff was the substi tution of hollow steel tubes for the ribs and stretchers of the framework, instead of solid strips of metal. The defendant was said to have infringed the patent by making ribs and stretchers of troughs or unclosed tubes, the difference be. mean the two being, in fact, only a eilourable difference. The plaintiff had taken out a second patent in 1850 for an elliptical instead of a circular tube. These inventions were spoken of by the various witnesses for the plaintiff as cont- Inning all the esseatial requisites of an umbrella, viz, strength, elasticity, lightness, and small bulk. The im proved umbrella bad obtained a prize at the Great Ezhibi• lion of 1851. On the pert of the defendant, the novelty of the plaintiff's invention, and its infringement by the defendant, were denied, and witnesses were called to show that the defend ant's ribs and stretchers were stronger than the plaintiff's, but not so flexible, and were less liable to break. It was also contended that patents, which had been taken out by Price, Sangster, and other persons, previous to 1840, were similar in principle and in effect to the plaintiff s patent. The defendant bad himself taken out a patent in 1862. Mr. Crowder having replied, Lord Campbell, seeing that it was half-past six, said the case was one of considerable importance to the parties, and requested the jury to attend tomorrow (this) morning, when he will sum up the evidence, and submit the ease to their consideration. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—TnnaDay. wee Pl3l PANS IX •••• • 001U10111 AND ANO- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, , DECEMBER 16, 1853. !balance -sheet and accounts were very fully published in the Daily News, at the (lamination meeting. Mr. Linklater, for the a s signees, asked Le an adjournment of Fit months in order that it might be seen how the ;met, were real'-ed. The present statement was that the sale cured creditor- amounted to 5;2721, and the gond debtors to 6,2821., but tio re l.ad hi en hitherto ri.ceivcd by the official assignee only about 2501., from the sale of furniture. A debt of 2,6001. was stated to be due from the Delta of Buckingham, which had been admitted by his grace in • letter to be .due; but the prospect of ruining anything from that source was rather remota. There were other good debts, which had not been realised ; and an adjournment would be of advantage to the bankrupt. A suit against Mr. Ledger, the bankrupt's late partner in the Era newspaper, was also pending. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said he was exceedingly anxious to have the judgment of the court on the case as it stood; hue, inasmuch as the realisation of the assets would throw light on the character of the trading, he bad diffi culty in resisting the application. The estimate of the bankrupt had not been made loosely, but wet in the main correct; and if the certificate wcre adjourned tillall the debts were disposed of, it might be put off for an indefinite period. One debt was due from a company which was beiog wound up under the winding-up Act. The debt from the Duke of Buckingham was unquestionably due; there was no du ibt as to the :lability, whatever doubt there might be as to the time of payment. Under such circumstances, an adjourn ment would impose upon the bankrupt all the consequences of a suspension. In Castelli's case, the Lords Justices had held, overruling the decision of that court, that the certifi cate should be adjudicated on without delay. The ve racity of the bankrupt's statement of debts and capital, with which alone the court had to deal, was sufficiently borne out. The debt from the Duke of Buckingham was secured by a mortgage for 3,100!. The COUlolllsioner—Has sufficient time elapsed for the assignees to say whether the debts returned at 6,0091. are good or bad ? Of all these debts only 11 . 7s. Id. has yet been received ; the rest is from the sale of the furniture. Should all these debts turn out bad, instead of good, it will make a great difference to the certificate. Mr. Lawrence could not say that a *Oldest time had elapsed for this purpose. His client was only mini to be relieved from any imputation which an adjourning... Wit carry with it. His Honour said there was no imputation either we way or the other. Mr. liana, who appeared for Mr. Beefy, a amine pin ditor, did not oppose, but asked that porridge AWN be given Mr. Keeley of the house at Putney, of whieti he MK the mortgage. Mr. Lawrence, on the part of the bankrupt, consented to We, and the certificate meeting was adjourned for dues nonfat. Mr. 13agley, who appeared to oppose for Messrs. Lairs, builders, said he wished to sak the bankrupt a few questions reepectior the money he bad receiv , d from Mr. Keeley. The bankrupt stated that he had received 1,3001. in one sea from Mr. Keeley, on the 29th of August, 1851. He spoke to this from memory, having no entry of it. He after wards received 5001. The 1,3001. was received in this way ; 608/. from a party named Church; a cheque of 5001. odd from Mr. Keeley ; and afterwards 6651. from him. He had rendined a written statement of these advances. Having since seen Mr. Keeley's account, he found his own was in correct, and would render another in a week. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YarrEiDAT moss XI. ocoolissiocza rumors. II( 7Ra 11117T1R OF ABRAHAM COMMIT. This insolvent, who we. a boot and shoe dealer in Adam row, Bau,pstead.road, applied to be discharged from prison. Mr. Cooke opposed for two creditors, named Fawcett and Bingham. Mr. Dowse also opposed for creditors. Mr. &good supported. This cue, which occupied several hours in the investiga tion, exhibited some peculiar features. The insolvent had dealt with Mr. Fawcett for some time, and now owed him upwards of 2001 . A complaint was aside uto the manner in which the debt we. incurred, and after spending a good deal of time on the subject, another point was opened, as to the disposition of property under that matter; the evidence was of a remarkable character. It was alleged that the interest of the insolvent's wife under her uncle's will had been parted with for 50!. to a persoa named Weston, of 5.1181.11.1.,,51VER• Weston, on examination, produced a cheque dated on the ' 10th October for 601., which was the alleged purchase money of the interest under the uncle's will. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked the witness when the cheque was written? Weston said last night. Mr. Commissioner Phillips thought so, although it was dated in October laic. It was then elicited from Weston that although he had agreed to purchase the property,. no money passed; and last night he gave a cheque to the insolvent's wife, who gave it to her sister, Sarah Willis, and she gave it ack to him for the property. Mr. Commissioner Phillips believed that the cheque was produced to deceive the court. Weston said it was not; and he had told what had oc curred, because he would not tell a lie. Weston was strictly examined on the point, and also as to the sale of some stock to Sarah Wallis. Mr. t3argood hoped the court would not hold the insol vent responsible for the evidence given by the witness. Mr. Commissioner Phillips made some strong and pointed observation on the conduct of the witness. After a long discussion the case was adjourned to Mon- I day, for the production of further evidence. TV we IMMIIIf 01\401111. wove!. Torn T. In this case an application was made for the official as eignee to join in the transfer of some property which was of no value to the creditor. The application of the insolvent in this court was heard under the Protection Act. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said that he had received a commusication front the official 8111iitnile, that he could not join in any conveyance under the Protection Act. The applicant could file a claim in the Court of Chancery. Mr. Reed wished to argue the motion, as it was very hard that his client should be driven into the Court of Chancery. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked the bar if they had ever heard of such an application under the Protection Act ? Mr. Nichols answered in the negative. Mr. Reed was further heard on his motion. His Honour refused the application, on the ground that he had no power. IN RE THOMAS BENNETT. Mr. Macrae applied for an extension of time to sell the real estate in this case. A question arose, as the term was for 1,000 years, whether it was a real estate. It had, how ever, been held to be real property. The 000 rt extended the period for the sale. HAIRS •lID •NOTHIR N. NM TRZY.-QUESTION OP PI This was an action upon a 1411 of exchange for6Bl. accepted in the name of Knsresborough and Co., and pay able three months after date. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Brewer appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Lush for the de fendant Divett; and Mr. Suit. Byles and Mr. Cleaseby for the defendant Knaresborough. The bill was given for a cargo of pottery clay, bought of the plaintiffs at Poole, and sent to Leeds in a vessel called the Hand of Providence; and the defendants were sued as partner. The defendant Divett swore that he wad not • part ner, and that all he bad to do with the clay was to sell it as a comm. rcial traveller, and receive his commission upon it. Knareaborougb, however, swore that there was a general partnership between him and Divett; and be also swore that Hawks said he would not look to him, but only to Divett, for the bill. Besides fhis, there was the defence that the clay did not answer sample, and that thereire there was a failure in the consideration of the bill. Several wit nests gave evidence in support of this part of the ease. The Jury found a verdict for the defendants.

Mr. Chambers and Mr. Prentice appeared for the plain tiffs, and Mr. flerjeaut Wilkins and Mr. Peres for the defendant. The plaintiff keeps a public-house called the Robin Hood, in Church-lane, St. Giles's, and is also an undertaker. The defeudant is • whitening manufacturer at Ueorge.street, Lambeth. The action was brought to obtain compensation ' in damages for the injury which the plaintiff's wife had sustained, in consequence of • collision on the way home from Epsom on the 7th April last. It appeased that on the day in question the plaintiff and some friends went to the Epsom races in three carts. On their return, about half past four o'clock, all the parties being said to be sober, just as the plaintiff and his friends had reached Merton, the defendant, driving a vehicle drawn by a small poney, and travelling at the rate of eight or nine miles an hoar, " cut in between" the last and middle tart, the latter of which was tipped over, and the plaintiff's wife, who was riding in it, sustained very serious injury. She was confined for a considerable time to her bed, and still suffered from the effect of the accident. The plaintiff stated that his wife was in the habit of at tending to the business of the public-house, which she had managed before their marriage, and the loss of her services wee of considerable consequence to Lim It was attempted 'to ,be shown, for the defendant, that the upset was caused by the careless driving of the plaintiff; but the jury were of • different opinion, and found • vet.- diet for the plaintiffs—damages 1001. ADMIRALTY COURT.—Dec. 14. MAIM DI. LCASIIIOTON. TAX SRA IPAIII.-COLLISION. The Hendrik". a barque of the burden of 678 tons, bound from London to Port Philip with a cargo of general mer chandise, and the Sea Park, a vessel of the burden of 836 tone, proceeding from Ceylon to London, with a general cargo, came into collision with each other off Dungenesa about halt-last 12 o'clock, a.m., on the 13th of September last. According to the statement of the Hendrik., the wind at the time was variable from S. to S. by W., end she was close hauled on the port tack. On descrying the Sea Park distant two or three miles ahead and a little on her lee bow, she exhibited a light, her course being W S.W. The Sea Park was steering E N.E., and continued her course with out exhibiting any light until she was within a very short distance, when she suddenly ported her helm and struck the Hendrika stem on between the fore-chains and the mooring pipe. en the starboard aide, doing her considerable damage. The Sea Park, in her p:ea, alleged that when the accident occurred the wind blowing from 8. by E., the weather being rather dark and hazy. On descrying the Hendrik' she instantly ported her helm end came up into the wind, with her head to the 8.5. E., end her sails aback, but the Hendrik', instead of porting her helm, as she ought to have done, put it a starboard and ran into the Sea Park. It was admitted that the Sea Park had the wind free. Cross ac tions were entered by the respective parties. Dr. AcHams and Dr. Twise were heard for the Hendrik* ; Dr. Haggard and Dr. Hayford for the Sea Park. The Elder Brethren eunsidered that, under the circum- Maness, de Sea Park was wrong in porting her helm ; that the Hendrik' did not starboard her helm, and that conse quently the blame wu entirely attributable to the Sea Park. The court pronounced accordingly. SHERIFFS COURT.-YESTEIDAT. =IOM I. UVINIT, WI;Sy AND • IPICIAL mat. HULLIN D. TATII.—PKINCH COLLZOIATII IDOCATION, -- --- The plaintiff in this action is M. Mullen, the principal of the college at Boulogne. Thl defendant is a gentleman, formerly residing at Westerham, Kent, and the claim made was fur 151. Be., the balance of an account for board and education, and *atria, on behalf of the son of the defendant. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant placed his son under the tuition of the plaintiff, and paid down • mum of 2.5/., which was equivalent to one year's charges, and the only question was whether the defendant under took to pay fur extras, one of whisk charged was for a twat in a pew in the protestant church. There were other items charged for, and the supply was not disputed, and defendant paid 41. into court and disputed the remainder. The plaintiff was re-examined, and gave distinct evidence that he gave the defendant clear information as to the terms of the institution, and that he had made frequent demands through his solicitors. The defendant, in re-examination, declared positively that he considered the sum paid was to be the consideration for the education, without extras. Mr. Hawkins argued that that was impossible, as the defendant had not specified any period at which the pupil age was to Wend, and it therefore conid not be conceived that the plaintiff could have intended to have kept the lad for an indefinite period, and the defendant had withdrawn hie son at once, without notice. Toe jury gave a verdict for the sum claimed. OOURT OF r.•-YESTERDAT. 1111,0 IL NI. cOIINISSIONIE 1,1 RE STRETT.—THE ERA NEWSPAPER.

The THE POLICE COURTS. M ARMOR -HO USE. George 1111 son was charged with having fraudulently made use of a certificate of character not belonging to him. The Quarter-Master cf the Naval Rendezvous, Tower hill, said—On Tuesday, the prisoner came to me at the office and told rue he wished to join the navy. I asked him whether he had ever been to sea. He replied, " Yes, in the Electra." I then asked him where he had been since he had been paid off. He mid, "On shore." He then, at my request, produced his papers. They eansisted or the document now handed in. (Here the witness produced /the certificate, which appeared to belong to apereon named Ilulip, whom it represented to be a man of very good character.) The prisoner's appearance not at all corre sponding with the description in the certificate, aid not re sembling that of a seaman, I put a few questions to him about the service and other matters, and found that he was a regular impostor. I then reported him to the command ing-officer, who directed me to take him to Mr. Colemac, of the office of the Registrar General for Seamen. The pri soner contrived to give me the slip on the way, but was ap- prehended by an officer in Eastcheap. The Lord Mayor asked what might hays been the con sequence if the prisoner had succeeded ? Mr. Coleman—He might have been employed as a seamen at wages of 11. 15s. upon tho good character in the certificate: he having no character at all. The prisoner said he was a poor labouring man out of employment, and the certificate belonged to a half-brother of his. The Lord Mayor sentenced him to imprisoment for 21 days. WORSHIP-STREET. George Snowden, a muter-carpenter in Shaft-street, Kingsland road, was charged with having cruelly mal treated his wife. The parties had only been married about ten months, but the wife, a delicate-looking young woman, had been the victim of en attack of brain fever, caused by ill-usage, and which nearly cost her her life. The husband induced her to leave the hospital by promises of better behaviour, but immediately afterwards resumed his harsh conduct towards her. Oa the previous afternoon they were visiting at her father's, and the prisoner, during the absence of her parents, knocked her down and seriously injured her spine. As be went away, he ordeved her to bring him hie tobacco boa, which he had left behind him, but when she went to bun yesterday for that purpose he stretched her seamless on the Boor by a blow on the eye. Prisoner did not deny the charge, but pleaded intoxica tion and his wife's alleged violent temper. Mr. Mammal sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. WESTMINSTER. - - Eliza Owen, a child only II yealsot age, and Eliza Owes, her mother, a creditable looking married woman, with s large family, were charged with uttering base coin. In consequence of some suspicions entertained by a police constable, in plain clothes, he watched the younger prisoner into a baker's shop, in the Vauxhall-bridge-road, yesterday morning, and saw her endeavour to put toff a counterfeit shilling. She then returned home, and next went to Mrs. Piic.e's, _in the same neigLbourhoo d , and where she aqain tendered a spurious shilling. It was, as in the previous case, detected, and the officer then took the child into cus tody, and proceeded to the mother, on whom he found two other counterfeit shillings, wrapped in tissue paper. the prisoners were remanded till Monday. ILARYLEBONE. William Thomas, a ark-complexioned, well-dreesi man, who for a long period of years has lamina upon the nobility and gentry to a considerable extent, was charged with a fraud upon Mr. T. C. Arbuthnot, 20, Albion-street, Hyde-park. Mr. Arbuthnot said, on Thursday morning last, between nine and tea o'clock, the prisoner came to my house, and stated to me that he had been residing in India, that he had lost a fortune through the failure of some parties in Cal cutta with whom he had been connected, and that in order to obtain a maintenance, he wished to set up a school of a superior kind en Neilgherry Hills, South India, for the in , 'traction of the children of servants of the East Judie Company. He assured me that there was a necessity for the school, and that he was well qualified for the task, having been brought up by one of the most eminent divines in this country. lie drew from his pocket two papers, upon which were the names of a number of gentlemen, purporting to be sub scribers in sums of different amounts. I gave him a sove reign, and at his request signed my name to one of his lists. He then went away, and shortly after I learnt from some friends upon whom I caUed and explained to them the cir cumstances, that the man I had assisted was an impostor. I then made known what had transpired to Captain Woad, the Mendicity Society's officer. I understood that the pri soner had previously called at my house, while I was out of town, saying that he was a friend of mine, and wished to see me. The prisoner was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - - • • ---------- _ _ ____ _ Charles Russell was charged with having stolen a quan tity of printed works, the property of his employer, Elijah Tucker, printer, No. 2, Perry's-place, Orford-street. The prisoner was warehouseman to the prosecutor. Yes terday morning his master received some information which induced him to send for a constable, and to ask the pri -1 soner whether be kad recently taken from the premises any printed works or paper and sold them to isteesemonger I. the Hampstead-road as waste paper ? The prisoner at first denied that he had. About a fortnight previously the prosecutor had missed several copies of a work he had just printed. and on asking the prisoner where they were, the prisoner said they had been delivered to the bookbinder. This was unnamed not to be true. Police-constable Lockerby said he asked the prisoner if he knew a Mr. Cook, of the Hampstead-road. The pri soner said he did not, but when requested to say . whe ther he had sold any paper to • cheesemonger in the Hampstead-road, be became agitated, end admitted he had sold waste paper two or three times. William Cork, cheetemonger, Hampstead-road, said he j bad several times bought waste paper of the prisoner. I Some of the paper bought as waste paper was produced, nd identified by the prosecutor. The prisoner said nothing in defence, and was fully com mitted. Owen M'Carthy, an old Irishman, was charged by the parish authorities of St. Martin's with haying been passed to Ireland and with having again returned to England and claimed relief of the parish. It appeared that the prisoner had been twice committed for the offence, and in defence he stated that the parish lauthorities in Ireland had sent him back, paying his pas sage to England. Mr. Bingham said, if this were true, it was moat repre hensible conduct. He would adjourn the ease, to give i time to inquire into the matter. LAMBETH. - - - A young man of shabby genteel appearance stated that he was authorised by the society of hairdressers and bar bers to ask the opinion of the magistrate on a matter of great importance to the trade. Same months since the members of the association came to a resolution to clone their shops at two o'clock on Sunday afternoons, but many of them continued to keep their shops open the whole of the day. Could he have summonses against them for vier lating the act of Charles 11. ? Mr. Elliott.—Why, by your own confession, you are equally liable to punishment under the same act, for you keep your owa shop open until two o'clock. Applicant.—Yes, sir, that may be very true ; but there are a number of persons who want waiting upon on the Sunday morning, so that the thing cannot be avoided ; but then all the business can be got over before two o'clock, and therefore the shops might be well closed after that time. Besides, London is the only proventied town in England where the shops are kept open after two ; and I have therefore to ask for summonses against those who are via biting the law. Mr. Elliott repeated that the applicant was not in a posi tion to proceed against the parties, seeing that he was him self an offender. HAMMERSMITH. George Thomas Jones, aged 42, who was formerly a police constable in the P division, was charged by the Rev. R. G. Baker, the vicar of Fulham, with obtaimag 21. front the Lord Bishop of London, and 11. from a gentleman named Hefty, by swans of false representations. 1 The Rev. R. G. Baker stated that in February last the prisoner applied to him for assistance, as he wished to emi grate to Australia with his wife and family. He said he had no doubt that if his cue was known to the gentry in the neighbourhood they would assist him in carrying out his desires. Witness looked over the papers handed to him by the prisoner, and thiakimq that a case had been made out in his favour, he recommended the prisoner to the Bishop of London, who gave him 21., and to several gentlemen who also contributed to the prisoner's scheme of enabling him to go out to Australia. The Bishop of London gave the pri soner the 21. in May last. The other cue was also proved; and it was stated in evidence that the prisoner had left Fulham, but instead of emigrating had taken a house in Greenwich and sold ._ _ •eeimema. The prisoner, in defence, said he still intended to emigrate. Mr. Beadon said it did not appear from his conduct as if he intended to go to Australia. He should like to know more about him, and he should therefore remand him, but he would accept bail for his &pp° trance. The prisoner was locked up in default of finding the re quired sureties. A boy named William Jones, employed at the White Beer .public-house, in Hammersmith, was charged with cruelly ill-treating a cat. Police-constable Thomas Blanks said, that about 11 o'clock that morning he was on duty in the Mall on the side of the river in Hammersmith, when he saw the pi ' soner throw a cat into the water. The poor creature tried to get out, but the prisoner prevented it by throwing stones at it. After struggling for its life for some little time, the prisoner killed the eat by the stones he threw at it. The prisoner said a woman gave him the cat to drown. Mr. Beadon said, that if it were necessary that a cat should be drowned, a weight should be tied round its neck. Bagley, the summoning officer, said the killing of dogs and cuts as described was quite a COMM= pastime with the s. r. Beadon said if any of them were brought before him be would give them hard, labour without a chance of paying a line ; tor the pre•cnt case, however, he would inflict a penalty of 2ds., or 14 days' imprisonment. The prisoner paid the fine.

I William Booth, 21, George Booth, 47, and Esther Booth, 32, were charged with conspiring together to defraud the creditors of the said George Booth and his partner William Booth, at Huddersfield, on the 13th of Sept. last. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Manic prosecuted; Mr. Overend and Mr. Sykes defended the prisoners. It appeared that the elder prisoner Booth was in partner- ship with a relative of his also named George Booth, as woollen manufacturers at Mytholus Bridge, near Hudders field. The younger prisoner Booth was son to G. Booth, and was engineer to the firm; and the female prisoner was sister to the elder male prisoner. On the 13th of September last George Booth obtained two cheques, one for 4891. 10s., and the other for 1201., from Messrs. Starkey, of Huddersfield. These cheques were payable at the bank of the Huddersfield Joint Stock Linking Company. On the day named George Booth met his partner in one of the streets of Huddersfield, and informed him that he had lost the cheques only a few minutes before, and was in great distress about them. It was suggeste d by a person named Wade, who was parsing at the time, that the prisoner and his brother should go at once to the bank and stop the Payment of the cheques. They did so, and on entering the bank they were told that the cheques had just been cashed to a young man, of whom a description was given. It turned out that the younger prisoner, William Booth, was the person who obtained the 6001. odd for the cheques. A week after this the firm was insolvent, and it was contended that the father and the son, the two male prisoners, had conspired together to defraud the creditors of the partnership, by the false pretence that 6901. had been lost. The younger male prisoner, at the request of his father, went to Man chester with the money, and at the house of a penes named Wilkinson, where Esther Booth lived, the amount in gold and notes was concealed in the coal-hole, by the female prisoner, who was prevailed upon to do so b 7 her nephew, William Booth. Handbills, giving a description of the man who bad obtained the money at the bank, having been oil , culated, and the younger male prisoner answering ex actly that description, he was apprehends d. lie then made a statement, acknowledging that he got the cash for the cheques, and detailed all the circumstances of his journey to Manchester to secrete the money with Either Booth. His statement led to the father's apprehension, and he also made a similar confession to his son. Beaton, police officer, of Hudderfield, proceeded to Manchester, and went to Esther Booth, who after denying all knowledge of the money for some time, at length took the officer to the coal plate, where notes and gold amounting to 6061., were found. The female prisoner also confessed as to the mode she became possessed of the money, and she was also appre hended. At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Overend submitted that evidently there was no conspiracy on the part of the female prisoner, she only at most having received the money after the conspiracy had teen arranged and completed. 'the learned Judge intimated that he was of the same opinion, and decided that the prosecution could not be sustained spinet Esther Booth. and she was Aerated. Mr. Overend again contended that there was no evidence that the son had conspired with his lather to defraud the ' creditors, inasmuch as he was only engaged as an engineer ' at the mill, and knew nothing of the affairs of the firm. All that bad been proved was that the son had, at his father's request, left the town with the money he had I obtained at the bank. lie knew nothing whatever about the firm being insolvent, being only an engineer. His Lordship decided that there was no evidence to show a conspiracy to defraud the creditors, but that there was a case against the male prisoners for conspiring to defraud the partner, George Booth, under the last count of the indictment. The jury found both the male prisoners Guilty, with a recommendation of the son to mercy, on the ground that he had been led into the affair by his father. , George Booth to De imprisoned for two years, with hard t labour, and Wm. Booth fez throe mouths. THE ELLIPTIC COLLAR, AT TIM BALL• / FAITW I ar-l=r-AS WITH FATENT ELASTIC FASTENING. A mo-t perfect an I easy-fitting shirt, and, by a 1 , limp!.

MARKETS. -•---- COTTON.—Livinroox, DEc. 15.—The market clue firmly, and, compared with the rates of Friday, prices o all kinds are quite as dear, while Surma have advanced ed per lb. The sales have amounted to 7,000 bales, compris ing 240 Pumps and Maranhams, 61d. to 61d.; 400 Bahia, 6ipt. to 61d. ; 400 Egyptian, 6d. to 71d. ; and 1,200 Surat, 21d. to 41d. (the entire quantity of the latter being taken on speculation). MANCHESTER, DEC. 15.—The slight improvement in the market perceptible on Tuesday hu been apparent again to-day, and prices are firm for light cloths suitable to India, for 32's to 38's cop yarn, the lower numbers of yarn taken by manufacturers and for printing cloths. The Greek houses are not quite so active as in the beginning of the week, owing to the tenor o! the accounts from the East, but there is more business in domestics, and the demand evidently approximates more closely to the limited pro duction of the mills. WOOL.--BILADPORD, Disc. 15.—Rather more wool has come to town this week, and prices are a little higher. The prises demanded in the country have tended to stiffen the current rates here, which were previously too high to in duce the spinners to buy freely ; and the stock in their hands may be considered as unusually light, which encou rages the staplers to bold firm for the prices now sought. Noils and broke, command better prices, and are nor made, except in limited quantity.—Bradford Observer. MANUFACTURES.—BEADFORD, Mc. 15. Yarns e The difficulties of the spinners have been evidently on th increase for some time past. The current price for yarns ' has ranged so far below the cost, as to bring about an ex tensive stoppage of frames and short-time working, which has been adopted for some months past, and with no hope of alteration, unless some very decided improvement in the value of yarn can be realised commensurate with the cost. TLe recent advance on wool has been entirely at the cost of the spinners. The advance sought in yarns is not willingly conceded, nor is it probable that it will be, for a few weeks, till old contracts are worked out. Pieces: There is nothing very active in this department, although the opinion that goods have seen their lowest is gaining favour, and there it a greater willingness to give out orders. The exceedingly small stocks of finished goods in the merchants' hands augur favourably for an active spring trade ;• the only apparent difficulty ts, what is most likely to be in favour ; this uncertainty has tended to retard production and caused the looms to be idle, there being little disposition to speculate fur the future.—Bradford Obseratr. CORN.-Binetersnsw, Dec. 15.-At Gloucester anp Worcester markets, on the 10th, wheat was firmly held for fully previous rates, and both markets closed with the turn in favour of the seller. Barley unaltered in value, but less pressed. Oats 6d. to Is. per quarter cheaper. Beans gave way fully Is. per quarter. Peas maintained their value. During the present week, holders have been very firm, and, since the advance in London and Liverpool, have demanded higher rates; but we have not heard of any worth notice changing hands. Barley, oats, beans, and peas, all taken in retail at our quotations. At Wolverhampton, yesterday, wheat was Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer, and other articles of the trade unaltered. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, and all descriptions sold readily at an im• provement of Is. to 21. per quarter. Barley Is. per quarter higher. Oats held for rather more money. Beans and peas quite as dear, but not much paring in either. Devizes, Dec. 15.-At our market to-day wheat was in moderate supply, the trade was better, and an advance of from 2s. to 31. a quarter was generally obtained. There was a fair supply of barley, and a brisk sale was effected at 2s. a quarter advance. In oats, beans, and peas, no alteration. Wheat, white, 82s. per qr. ; best red, 725. to 78s. ; mid dling, 595. to 72e. ; inferior, 441. to 595. Barley, 30s. to 435. Oats, 23e. to 33e. Beans, 4•25. to 645. Peas, 364. to 48s. Flour, fine, per sack, 56e. to 585.; seconds, 545. to 56e. blmecnewren, DEC. 15.-The improved tone noted in the trade on our last market day has subsequently con tinued, and a fair consumptive demand has been expe rienced for barrel flour at gradually advancing prices. Eng lish has likewise been held for more money, but has not moved off so freely. Oats and oatmeal have sold slowly, and scarcely maintainel their previous value. The imports of foreign wheat, flour, and Indian corn into Liverpool are to • tolerably fair amount; and from Ireland liberal supplies of oatmeal, with a moderate quantity of oats, have been received. Our market this morning was well attended, and wheat commanded an advance of 2d. to 3d. per 701 be. American flour was in fair demand at Is. and 2s. the 1961 be. over the rates current on this day se'nnight, whilst Eng liah, from its general want of strength, sold slowly at an amendment of Is. per sack. Oats and oatmeal were in moderate request at about previous rates. NEWARK, DEC. 14.-Our market to-day has been more active than for some time past, and a considerable business transpired. The attendance of growers as well as factors was good, but the samples of all kinds of grain were not numerous. There was a brisk trade in wheat and barley, at an advance of 24. per qr., and best qualities of both kinds were purchased readily at the increased price. Oats and beans were again but limited in quantity ; a small bu siness was done in them, at about the same value as we fnoted in our last week's report. Averages : Wheat, white, rom 78s. to 80e.; red, 745. to 76e. ; barley, new, 38s. to 405.; oats, 28s. to 30s. per 24 stones ; beans, old, 66e. to 60s. NEWBURY, Dac. 16.-The supply of wheat this day not large. Buyers were anxious to do business, but as it snowed all day few sales could be effected, and an advance of 3s. took place on what wee done. There was a better demand fa barley, and 2s. per qr. more money wee realised. Oats, beans, and peas remain the same. UXBRIDGE, DEC. 15.-Our market was thinly supplied, and trade was dull at the prices of last week. Wheat, 68a. to 84s. Barley, 345. to 425. Oats, 235. to 31s. Beans, 455. to 575. Peas, 48s. to 645. per qr. Eninstinon, DEC. 14.-We had in the market to-day 422 qrs. wheat, 1,410 barley, 976 oats, and 161 beans.

The supply of grain was much smaller to-day. Wheat was generally in poor condition, and last week's prices for good wheat were fully supported. Barley was flat, and receded in price. Oats same as last week, while beans fell considerably. Wheat, 40s. to 81s. Barley, 255. to 435. Oats, 16s. to 335. Beans, 38s. to 645. Weight of top wheat, 651bs. ; barley, 68ilbs. ; oats, 4511b5. ; beans, 62}lbe. Flour for bread, superfine, RA. 6d. to 58s. 6d. per bag of 20 stone. WATZRFORD, Dac. 14.—We have had a fair arrival of foreign wheat since Saturday last, and our market, partici pating in. the improvement manifested in the English markets, is rather dearer for this article; but oats, barley, and Inalan corn, are dull of sale at last week's prices. CATTLE.—Ntweee, Dec. 14.—At our market to-day there was a scanty attendance, and we had only a small show of stork. Prices about the ume as usual. Little bu tietill was transacted. There were 34 sheep, 181 beasts, and 236 pigs penal d. EDINRCILOII, Dec. 14.—The number of cattle in the market this morning was 331, or 89 less than on this day se'nnight.
