I.IIIYAN V. 11OLDIR.-A IIISTrTED Mr. O'Malley, with Mr. Dowdeusell, were eounwl for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Miller, with Mr. Herne, for the defendant. This was an action firelight by Mn. O'Bryan, as the widow and administratrix of her deceased husband, to re cover front the defendant, who is a small farmer, certain arrears of rent for three cottages occupied by him in the neighbourhood of Chertsey, Surrey. The property in question had formerly belonged to a per son named Weilbelsved, the brother of the plaintiff. and on the part of the plsiatiff a conveyance was pot in evidence, from Wellbeloved to O'Bryan, purporting to be executed in consideration of an &deems of 2001., dated November, 1618; proof was given of payment of rent on two occasions by Holder to 011ryan, and in October, 1851, to the present plaintiff; and a deed dated October, 1850, was read, by which Holder agreed to bold the property in question from O' Bryan, at a yearly rent of 141. The defence was, that the c , nveyarsce from Wellbeloved was merely a colourable conveyance, executed in order that the creditors of Wellbeloved, who was then in difficulties, might be prevented from obtaining possession of the pro perty, if he happened to lose an action which was at the time pending against him. In support of this cam, several letters written subsequent to the conveyance by the plaintiff to Wellbeloved were read, in order to show that she treated' the property as really belonging to him, and it was proved that a person named Wenbam had advanced Wellbeloved nearly WM. and had taken proceedings to obtain possession of the property, the rent of which had been paid over to him by Holder, after he bad commenced dienaning on his goods. Holder explained his payment of rent to the plain tiff by saying that she had first given him a guarantee against any demands that might be made by any other petty. 'Nephew. who was also called, and who appeared to be the real defendant in the action, stated that he had bees insolvent in 1849, when he returned his property as nil, but that he advanced money to Wellbeloved out of dal., which he had afterwards received upon the death of a relation in America. Mr. O'Malley having replied. Lard Campbell left it to the jury to say whether the con 'memos an which the plaintiff relied wu executed for a valuable oossideration, or well merely cek urable, and not intended to be acted upon by the ;indict et the time of its execution. _ _ TM jury, after consulting together for some tine, said they thought no money had actually passed at the time the deed was executed. _ Lord Campbell said they roust also make np their &ado so to lI'WOW tbe deed was executed with the intention of bang acted upow or nut.

It is proper that I should soy the policeman acted with great propriety. and so did the poor man wro wci.t to his auistance. The defendants were then conveyed to the prison at Holloway. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknow ledge the receipt of the following sums for the poor-box : R. M., 101.; Robert B. Byas, a; Mrs. Deane, 11. LAMBETH. Mr. Samuel Keily, a master printer, who bad been charged at this court on Saturday' last with violently assault. ing the Rev. Robert Gibson, a dissenting minister, surren dered to his bail and was finally examined before the Hon. U. C. Norton. It will be remembered that the defence set up by Mr. Kelly was that the rev. complainant had seduced his wife and induced her ro abandon her home, husband, and chil dren to live with him in open adultery, yet on his crow ezamination he denied the fact, and said he had been in duced merely from motives of kindness and charity to call on and condole and sympathise with her. Mrs. Elizabeth Clerk, the wife of William Clerk, resid ing at No. 4, Bedford cottages, Peckham, deposed that she knew the complainant in the name of Kelly from his lodg ing at her house in June last. He took the rooms himself, and brought I female there whom he represented to be his wife They came to her house on the Tuesday and left on the Saturday, but this was owing to Mr. Kelly, the defendant. and the real husband of the female, calling there. When Mr. Kelly came Mr. Gibson was in t►e yard cleaning his boots, but from what Mn. Kelly and to him he went into the water-closet end remained there. When Mr. Kelly left Mrs. Kelly rushed into the yard and said, " It's all right ; he is gone ;" and Mr. Gibson then came out of the water closet and finished his boots. (Laughter.) Mr. Norton—Did you mean that the person whocalled was the tensale's real husband ? Witness—No, Sir. She told me he was her brother. In her cross•esaminatien the witness said the parties occu pied two rooms, with a sofa in one and a bed in the other. She was quite sure Mr. Gibson did not sleep on the sofa, as she (witness) was nightly in the habit of seeing him and the female go into the bedroom and close it after them as man and wife were in the habit of doing. Mr. Griffiths, a surgeon, at Peckham, said that in the month of April last, he attended Mrs. Kelly at Victoria Villas, for • miscarriage, and thought she hid been two months pregnant. He saw Mr. Gibson while he attended Mrs. Kelly, and from con aaaaa tiet' he had with him he led him (witness) to suppose ho was her husband. His (Mr. Griffiths) had not seen Mr. Gibson nor Mrs. Kelly from the 29th of April, whes be last visited the latter, and had not as yet been paid his bill for attendance. Mrs. Amelia Robinson, lreaidthg 'at No. 6, Victoria-cot tages, said that in the month of April last Mr. Gibson called oa her and requested she would attend his wife next door. She complied with his request, and attended Mrs. Kelly at Mr. Clark's, and she attended her during her illness conse quent on her miscarriage. While attending her she .fre quently saw Mr. Gibson in her bedroom, and heard him speak to her in the endearing terms of a hissbend. Mr. Samuel Cunningham, the owner of saw mills in the Hackney-road, said he had been an attendant of Ebenezer chapel, of which Mr. Gibson was the minister for some ' years, and knew Mrs. Kelly from seeing her in the chapel as a member. It was an Independent congregational, and not a Wesleyan chapel. From some reports which had reached the committee detrimental to the morel character of the Rev. Mr. Gibson, the matter was investigated, and I they dismissed him in July last. Being one of those who I considered Mr. Gibson a much injured man, be, Mr. Cun t ningharn, took Hemptomchapel, Hackney, for him for 1 twelve months certain, and he was the minister. Mr. Norton—Now if he has sworn that he was not minister of that chapel has he sworn true or false ? Witness—Decidedly false; for he was appointed minister , and preached on two Sundays, besides doing duty on week ;days. Mr. Norton—Have you seen him administer the sacra ment ? Witness—No, I have not, for I was not in town. From what bad reached me I went to Peckham, and saw Mrs. Clew, Mrs. Clerk, and Mrs. Robinson, end from what they said I at ones had Mr. Gibson discharged. Mr. Hewett, one of the deacons of Ebenezer Chapel, was called to prove the fact of the complainant having been dis missed in consequence of his immorality. Mr. Norton considered there was abundance to satisfy the members of both congregation., of the perfect justice of discharging such a person from such an office, and it was much to be regretted that a person, capable of such conduct as that proved, should have held the appointment of minis ter in any chapel. The magistrate was here requested to put the question to the Rev. Mr. Gibson, whether be was not a married man, and whether he had not been married in the village of How, or Bowyer, in Yorkshire, in the years 1833 or 18351 The rev. complainant said he did not know such a village, that he had never been - 'married, and was therefore a single man. Mr. Binns addressed the bench at some length. He said that this was not the proper court to try a ease of trim. coo., and if there was any truth In the statements given that day the proper tribunals were open to the defendant ; and he was not, from any whim or caprice, to go to a man's house and commit a murderous assault. It was his (Mr. Binns') intention to call Mrs. Kelly, who would inform his worship how she bad been treated and turned out by her husband ; and if through sympathy for her unfortunate situation somebody else got a hold of her, the husband had only himself to blame. Mrs. Kelly was in the body of the court, and was making her way to the willies box, when Mr. Norton said he could not permit her to De ex amined. The defendant received an excellent character, and it was proposed to call his daughter, a full-grown young woman, to speak to his uniform kindness to his family. Mr. Norton said he should be sorry to place the daughter in so painful a situation. The magistrate then recapitulated the whole of the points of the case, and remarked on the highly immoral and im proper conduct of the complainant while holding so sacred an office ; and believing that the attack was not premedi tated, and the provocation very strong, be oenvieted the defendant in the nominal penalty of ls., and ordered him to keep the peace towards the complainant for three months, himself in 401, and two sureties of 201. each. Bail was given. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE—Friday, Dec. 23. WHITEHALL, Ditc. 22.

This was t'.e examination meeting in the case of ocustus 1/..her, sureiving portr.er of the firm of Foskes and F.sher, trading as colonial hrei •re, in Mincing-laae. The ace , oo ate, prepared by Mr. Maynard, extended over fourteen months prior to the failure in November last, and showed a sum of 4,1191. due to unsecured creditors, 3.3531. to those holding security, and 10,193/. of liabilities. The wets in good debts and property were about 8001. The profits had been 1,0171; loses, 7121. • expensee, 2,231 f. ; debts paid of lushes and Fisher, 6,00 31. Mr. Peaarll, the official assignee, reported that the bank rupt had carried on business in Mincing•lane as a colonial broker. He appeared to have commenced trading on the let of January, 1819, at which time he entered into part- Denlio with a person of the name of Foakes, the business being carried on under the firm of Foakes and Fisher. Both partners were without capital, and, to enable them to commence, a sum of 2,0001. was borrowed of the bankrupt's father, w!iich amount a still owieg. Foakes died in September, 1952, when the partnership mutate were mad. up, showing that the concern was then insolvent to the extent of 12,3521. The bankrupt, however, still con tinwel the business, and to enable him to do so he borrowed a further sum of ;3,3001. from his father, which also re • maintJ unpaid. From as analysis of the accounts it was leiter that the bankrupt ought not to have continued his trade when, after the death of his partner, he found himself insol vent to such a large amount. The subsequent trading showed that new debts had been contracted to the amount of 3,6721, and that he had paid by that mews 6,0034. to the creditors of the old firm. The books had been well and accurately kept, and the balance-sheet was fully corroborated by them. Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the assignee, Mr. Croysdill, expressed hat satianction with the accounts, and the bank rupt passed. IN RE BARER. This was the certificate meeting in the ease of 11. Baker. ironmonger, New Oxford-street. His debts were 8541. ; wets about 3s. in:the pound. rho bankrupt had come to the court on his own petition, making the usual affidavit that he had 6e. in the pound. Mr. Ni.tholaon, the official assignee, reported that, about • month before the failure, the bankrupt had Ist his brother here goods and ca►h to the amount of 981., in part payment of • debt of 1371. . . . Mr. Randall, for the assignees, offered no opposition. His Honour said this was one of a class of cans which were booming too common. The bankrupt had petitioned the court himself, swearing that be had enough to pay his credi tors be. in the pound ; whertu it turned out that he had no thing of the kind. This was nothing less than a fraud on the court, sad the practice must be stopped. Then he had been guilty of • fraudulent preference, which he probably thought justifiable because it was made to a relative ; but it was no less unjust towards the rest of the creditors. The certificate would be suspended three months from the date of the petition, with protect io n. IN US WILLIAMS. The bankrupt wee a member of the firm of Williams and Merchant, railway contractors, who lately passed through this court, paying all the joint creditors in full. A proof had shies been tendered against the repents estate of Wil liams, fee 2,2501., onbehalf of Mr. David Price, of Liver pool, fotnierly in partnership with Mr. Williams. The, claim anise oat of an agreement into which they bad entered, on the dissolution of their partnenhip on the 24th July, 1849, whereby Williams undertook to pay to Price 2,5001. for his moiety of the warehowes which were their joint property. The proof was resisted on the ground that the agreement was fraudulent in law, being founded on an erroneous estimate of the debts due to the lire. The ease had been argued at great length by Mr. Bagley, on the part of the claimant, Mr. Wiles on behalf of the assignees, and Mr. Sumner for the baiikrupt—Mr. Commissioner llolroyd sitting along with Mr. Commissioner Goulburn to bear the arguments. His Hewer_ (Goulburn) now gave judgment, in which he stated that his brother Holroyd entirely concurred. It was coaseded en all hands that upon the covenant, as it stood, Pries would be entitled to recover against Williams ; the esly quesdas was, whether it was void by fraud, or team as War came. The court came distinctly to the thane fraud whatever had been proved in the traanmaken. It bad been further contended that if the agreement were founded on a mistaken calculation of the value of the business, it would be. void ; and the evidence went to show that a sum of '2,5001. had been erroneously , stated by Price as being due to the firm. But se this wen an error which Williams equally had the means of correct leg, it could not be held to vitiate the agreement. The court would thetefore admit the proof for the full amount, and give ovate out of the estate. IWO= Mt. LN IX F. F. PDX. This was an adjourned last examination meeting. The bealuni_pt wasa tailor, of Cornbill. Ili. Reed, for the ass es, stated that at the last asset• lag it was alleged by the bankrupt that a sun of 9601. had been rewind by Mr. King, who was to manage the Dl'S nemand keep the books, which sum he had not accounted for. Since the last meeting Mr. King had explained as to 11301. to the bankrupt's satisfaction, but he still charged Ma with not accounting for 4781. Mr. King had Sled • statement of the circumstances, which he (Mr. Reed) would read. The statement having been read, Hie Honour said the substance of it was that Mr. King was Vs manage the bankrupt's business (at a salary of 3001. • yea), which he believed to be free from bards's ; but it turned out that such was not the feet, and in the ecstasies which arose in consequence, and having to ran is different directions to get mosey, he was unable to attend ,to his duties as book-keeper and manager; but having gone through the accounts, he had been enabled to identify a number of payments stated not to Dave been made. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said he knew nothing of SONG. Mr. Reed said that certain debts were pat down in the balance sheet, bat whoa the pieties to whom they referred were written to on the subject they produced their receipts. Mr. Ili Ileary,who represented Mr. King, stated that certain orders by customers were tasseled in the books at the time bat the orders were never executed. His Honour said he did not perceive that there was any mesas of showing that either of them bad been guilty of fraud. This was • ease in which the bankrupt ought to be punished. Nothing was more contrary to all propriety ea the part of a trader where he found himself befog sued by creditor upon creditor to kee) struggling on. When he found himself in such a state o f embarrumsent, it was his duty to call his creditors together, lay before them a state- ment of his affairs with the view to an tuvangement, and if that could not be carried out, to at race come to this court. Mr. Reed then said there was another plat to which he wished to refer. Messrs. Thomas and Boa, who were pat down as creditors for 8861., were stated to hold as security goods of the value of 1,2691. Mums. Thomas and Son ware solicitors, of Fen-court, Fenekureb-stmet. A saillaCCS had been served upon Mr. Thomas, jun., the father being very aged, and the assignees required that amounts should be rendered respecting those goods, but none had hem The magnets, therefore, aoald not m eant to the bankrupt passing when it was feud that there were no definite accounts of 'the disposition of property of the value of nearly 2,0001. His Honour (to bankrapt)—ls there any amount is your books of the amount of goods sent to Messrs. Thomas? Bankrupt—lt was left. to Mr. King. Mr. King said he wrote an account of the goods es some pieces of pape r , which he left with the clerks( a gendsmea who was to have acted as bankrupt's accountant, to be called for by the bankrupt ; but it appeased be had not so called, aid he (Mr. King) had no doubt they were fa a pigeon-hole in the office, but unknown to that gentleman. In answer to his Honour, Er. King said those goods had been purchased by his present employers, together with the lease of the premises they occupied.

SUGAR.—The average price of sugar, the produce of the British possessions in America, computed from the re. turns made in the week ending the 20th December, H. 13, is 23.. 4&d. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 20.. 9d. Sugar, the pro•luce of the East Indies, 20s. 13.1. The average price of the dues foregoing descriptions of sugar, jointly, is 22.. 60. - - - BRISTOL, DEC. 23. SUGAR.—The market has been so exceedingly bare of samples this week, that the transactions since our lest are scarcely worth enumerating—the few boards of West India which hare been brought forward, have found ready buyers at fully 6d. per c wt.advance, and an extensive business could be done with anything like a supply—in the Ounce of which, however, the trade have had to purchase in Lon don, and which they have done to some extent; for floatiep cargoes there is some inquiry, but very few of any descrip tion offering. Refiners' rroduce does not participate in the activity prevailing for the raw material, and although the stocks of manufactured goods are net large, still there is a want of animation in the demand, and prices are only with difficulty supported. For rum, - there has been au improved demand, and 150 puncheons of strong Trinidad have been disposed of at about 3s. sd. per gallon, and 4s. 9d. hu been obtained for a parcel of middling Jamaican. The precinct markets will close to-morrow for the Christmas recess, and business will not be resumed here before Wed nesday, the 3rd of January. WOOL.—LEEDS, Drc. 23.—There has not been any change of moment in the wool trait+ this week. Prices are firm at last week's quotations. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Nornsousx TRADE.—The lace trade, we are happy to be enabled to report, continues to be better than has been the case for several years past at this season of the year. The hands in the various ware houses are fully employed. This is attributable to the large and numerous orders which have been given by the American buyers who have now left England. But for these we should have found business unusually flat, as the German orders have been this year less in number and amount than hitherto, clearly in consequence of the Ens tern war. Several orders which have, however, been given by the Germans, could not be forwarded in consequence of the Baltic ports having been closed by the ice. The pur chases in all eases have been chiefly in the commoner classes of goods, the better depytmenta remaining in a dull con dition. The hosiery trade is very brisk, in consequence of the execution of orders already received for the spring, and there is more inquiry for the home trade—in fact the trade is unusually busy for the season. Several houses both in the lace and hosiery trade have been interrupted in course of taking stock, as they always do at this season, in cense quniceof being rendered too busy by the influx of orders. " '• CORN.—Canwearoan, Bic. 23.—There was a fair sup ply of wheat at market to-day, but not in good eonditioa ; nevertheless, there was a good demand, at an advance of 3s. to 4s. per qr. over last week's rates. Wheat, red, new and old, 745. to 78s. ; white, 761. to 84s. Barley in good demana, and 2s. per qr. dearer, both for grinding and malt ing qualities. Beans were also 2s. and peas ls. higher. LINCOLN, DEC. 23.—Our market was again in a very ex- cited state to-day. With a fair show of wheat, our fanners were enabled to establish an advance of 3s. per qr. Barley in good demand at 2s. to 9s. advance. Wheat, red, 761. to 81s. per qr. ; white, 81s. to 83s. Barley, 375. to 455. LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 23.—At our Corn Exchange this morning we had not so large an attendance of millers and dealers as of late. The business transacted in wheat and flour was moderately fair, and prices were barely equal to those current at Tuesday's market, but were fully as dear as on this day se'unight. Oats advanced Is. per bushel, and oatmeal Is. per load. Indian corn also rather dearer, and is attracting more speculative attention from its relative cheaper value. Barley, beans, and peas unchanged in value. - - Dec. 23.—The local demand in the agri cultural districts, appears to take off the limited supplies of wheat, and a considerable advance is quoted in all markets on the Bast coast. Here to-day we have a small arrival, the trade is not so active as last week, but an improvement of 2s. per qe. is obtained oa the rates of this day se'nnight on the few transactions that have taken place, holders are ►owever extremely 6rm. Barley is offering in much lese quantity than of late, and we are fully Is. per qr. higher. Oats and shelling meet an improved demand at enhanced prices. Beans quite as dear. Malt lies gone up Is. to 2s. per load. Other articles steady. Imports during the week : Wheat, 5,803 qrs. ; barley, 1,129; oats, 616; beans, 641 ; peas, 99. Shelling, 185 loads. METALS.—Mr. Moste's circular states that rails may be quoted ss. per ton dearer than last week. Most of the makers are careless about effecting sales at present. Scotch pig* are firm, the market closes at 788. 6d. buyers for mixed numbers, G. M. B. Swedish iron has an upward tendency. Good assortment, are scarce. Swedish steel is more inquired after. Copper continues in excellent demand. Spelter is inactive, the last quotation was 241. ss. 'fin plates are more inquired for, and makers are looking forward to higher rates.

ELEVEN KNAVES LET LOOSE UPO.N . SOCIETY AGAIN. -~- people, because th e y cos .h ne their Yesterday morning not less than 11 persons, well known to the police as bad characters, w ere i n custody at the Manchester Town Hall, all of whom w ill h ave to be let locus ense upon o h° n soc e te i e f t y again immediately, t o li ve at the depredations within certain limits where there is difficulty in reaching them without straining the law. They were mostly well-dressed men, and bad their pockets well stoi eft with cash. One man had about le sove reigns in good money upon him, whilst others had stores of "flash" notes (61. notes of the Bank of Elegance and 61. notes of the Bank of Economy) and gilt farthings jo resemble sovereigns, beAdes small sums in real money. These are men, it visa stated, who travel in railway trains frequent railway stations, public. houses, and all other places where people most do cocgre gate in search of " flats." Packs of playing cards were found in their possession ingeniously contrived for "cutting black or red" at will, and without chance of failure. For this purpose all the red cards were a shade narrower than the others, and all the black cards a trifle shorter than the others. If the operator cuts against a man who has bet on red, he spans the pack across the narrow way, sod up comes black ; if the better tak e s bl ac k , the cut is effected by spending the pack of cards lengthwise, and up comes red. The s i mp l eton who lays out his money with these sort of gentlemen won ders that luck goes so much against him, and may lose fill his money, but can never win any. Then there is the countryman who has taken his horse to the fair and sold him for 201., which one of these sharpers is anxious to show him the best way of wrapping up and placing in his fob, so that he may not be robbed of it. Very likely when he sees the way in which it is done he imagines there is nothing very difficult in the contrivance; far he does not detect the sleight of hand by which his own good notes and gold pass into the pockets of his instructor, and the flash notes aed gilt farthings are substituted fur them in his own. Then there are locks, and needle cases, and many other curious devices for cheating people of an ingenious turn of mind. " Can any man open this lock 1" inquires one of the swindlers in a company of " fiats." If there is no response, he adds, "I'll bet 61. there is not a man in this company can find out the secret of unlocking it," and throwing it down en the table he leaves the room. In his absence one of his com panions (but not known as such to the company) shows a simpleton who seems curiously inclined to discover the mystery, a secret spring by which he is enabled to turn the key in an instant. It is well if the challenger on returning to the room does not get a bet on that is worth his con. sideration, and then he wins it by contriving to suhstkute another lock, very like it, but which was never made to unlock, and the "secret spring" of which seems now to move without any effect. Such are the men in custody at Manchester and their means of preying upon the public, and who, we are told, were to be set at liberty on promising to quit the city. No doubt they will soon be heard of elsewhere. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (BY ELECTRIC ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
