DRAMA. oLy The managers of the Olympic Theatre did a bold set 'sat night in producing a drama which has no more eMeity with the pieces so long associate.; with this house p e a pickled onions have with barley-sugar. Turning their backs upon those lollipop comediettas which depend so numb for their success on dress and deportment, they have produced • four-sot play, by Mr. Tom Taylor, called The ticket-of-Leave Man, which has all the qualities usually saeociated with a Surrey melodrama. It contains a story which, though somewhat transparent from the outset, is sufficiently exciting in its development to interest an audience for three or four hours; it has its serious and comic scenes arranged in the approved sandwich fashion, and its underplot, which hangs loosely on the skirts of the main intrigue ; it has characters of an old and familiar but very eileaire siege type, who have each • fair share of talk and action without being allo and wed to bore the audi come aence s ; and it is p it c hed amongst people places which near to every-day life as an ordinary working dramatist can be expected to supply who has to deal with ordinary work. lag actors and managers. Those who, led away by the wording of the playbill, go to see this new effort of eirvedly imixemful dramatist under the belief that they will witness an abstract and brief chronicle of the time will be partly, but not wholly disappointed. They will see in eeessional scenes and in one or two touches of character something that borders on real life ; while in the incidents they will recognise that headstrong romance which must always be the master of • playwright who studies his market If the plot of the Ticket-of-Leave Han is meant to con vey any very serious lesson to our criminal reformers on a subject which has long troubled them, is certainly fails in its object. Mr. Tom Taylor's returned convict is a man who has been wrongfully convicted, and not, a vagabond who becomes penitent. The four acts of the fable show the struggles of this man to regain kis loet footing in the world ; but they show us nothing to justify the title of the drams in the dltticulges which lie in the path of the true ticket-of-leave man. The real criminals of the piece, who are placed well to the fon, hold no ticket-of-leave, except their cleverness and impudence, and what their struggles will be in society when they return to it once more with a poi governor's license, is still left unsettled by Mr. Taylor. The call for all the actors at the end was unanimous ; and Mr. Horace Wigan—speaking for the author, who was not in the house—announced the piece' for repetition amidst the loudest applause. PRINOESM Mr. George Vining re-opened this house Let night for the summer season, with a three act drama from the French of l'aul Meurioe, the well-known French dramatic author of the Porte St. Martin, and a new farce by Mr. T. J. Williams. The drams bears the title of Court and Cam, and is, we believe, an adapta tion of Faulty% la Talippe, produced in Paris some years Mee, Mr. Vining himself being the adapter. The scene is laid in the time of Louis XV., or perhaps we should say in the reign of Madame Dubarri, the king's beautiful mistress, who with her protige and friend, Dr. Quemoy, the famous founder of the French school of political economists, forms a prominent figure in the piece. The centre point of the drama is Mr. Vining's per formance of the Mousquetaire. Mr. Charles Verne, who is known to Drury-lane and Lyceum audiems) per forms the designing Count is a subdued and finished style, mak aided by a good voice for this kind of part. Miss Louise Laidlaw has too little to do to require special notice. Xis !Wiwi& as the hacineting Duberri, who afterwards ems to so terrible an end in the evil days of Robespierre, performs effectively • and Mies Lydia Thompson inte her performance of the lady's companion with sorne7M7 dosses at the camp and amid the lamps, sod shrubberies, sod fountains of the gardens at Versailles. The latter some deservedly obtained a cell for Mr. F. Lloyd, the SCOW punter. An the roguish and terrified Ramponnean Mr. G. Reimers distinguished himself by that dry and natural bestow by which he has lately made so much program in public favour. The new farce by Mr. Williams, which was produced at a We bur, tarns upon the matehnialung propensities of a Mr. Dovetail Salim (Mr. Robert Roxby) who, not content with having united an unfortunate young lady, Clementine (rise e Marion Jones) to an illoatured, peppery major named rise Bouncer (Mr. Fitzjames), is anxious to unite his friend Mr. Lycurgue Benythe, of the Temple (Mr. Bel mont, to an elderly gushing lady, Mies BoOoeisber Blom:ton (Mrs. H. Manton). A declaration of love, for mally drain up by Smythe, and delivered to the rappelled lady from behind a tree, is really delivered to Mrs. Major Bonscer—limythis, who is extremely nervous, having dere. Med it between the leans of a book which the Major's youthful wife wee reading. The usual complications Smythe • naturally disiatielled with the elderly lady whom his brand provides for his wif• ; And in addition to the misery of be ommdled to show her attentions, is in volved in the to -AU osesequenera of the Major's tester fury. All, however, terminates without serious and theaudienoe were left in good humour. At the conclusion of the drama of Court and Cann, Mr. George Vining delivered a short address to the audience touching on the intendedhatures of his management. The old drama is, with excepems, not to form pert of his pro gramme, bat new origins/ pima ma promised, among which me new Mums by Mr. Wilts Phillips and Mr. John Oxen feed, now in course of prepentlem.

The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Hensley and Mr. Jacob were counsel for the plain tiffs ; Mr. Edward James, Q. 0., and Mr. J. Brown were counsel for the defendant.. It appeared that the defendant is a stone merchant and pavior, and had purchased some of the old materials of the premises in BungerfordAnarket, and Sullivan, the plaintiff's late husband, and Leahey, were employed by him is demolishing the buildings for the removal of the materials, and it was in the course of the work that the accident happened which resulted in Sullivan's death (leav ing a wife and three children), and the injuries of which Loamy complained. It was one of those lamentable acci dents which unfortunately too often arise, and, as is usual in these actions, the evidence was of the mast oondicting character, the minute details of which would require greater space than the case would warrant The case was opened on Tuesday morning, and occupied the whole of to-day. r The questions for the jury to decide were—fird, bad there been personal negligence proved against the defendant in knowingly not selecting competent • us to do the work ; and, secondly , whether he given instructions or interfered personally in the conduct of the work. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant in both actions. TIM NISI PRIGS SITTINGS AT GUILDHALL. Mr. Justice Mellor gave notice that, in oonseepietme of one el the Queen's Bauch judges being required in the full court on Friday, to bear appeals in the Divorce and Matri monial Causes Court, end also owing to the preparations that were being made at Guildhall for the reception of the Prima and ninnies of Wales, there would be no in term Queen's Bench nisi prim sittings at Guildhall. ducted himself most etrangely and in a violent manner, and was not fit to be Wargo. Mr. Woolrych directed Greenfield to procure assistance and convey the unfortunate man to the new workhouse of the Stepney Union, at Bromley, and all the attention of the oaken of the union to the csee. Be had no doubt the man was deranged and wanted looking after. WANDSWORTH. Geoff" Midas, a sanctimonious•lsoking young man, with a shaven face, was dully examined before Mr. Ingham, on a charge of stealing several articles of silver from the altar of the chapel, the property of the Rev. Alfred Weed, the superior of a Roman catholic educational establishment at Mamie& House, Roehamoton. The Rev. Walter Clifford, one of the superiors, said that on the night of the 9th Patent he found the front part of the altar taken down, and it rested agaMst the side. It opened by • spring, which would be unknown to an ordinary person. A cupboard or tabernacle over the altar had been opened, the key of which bad been taken from • table drawer in the chapel, where it was usually kept. He missed from th e taber nacle a silver gilt chalice and a silver gilt dish, which were kept in a white silk bag. The prismsr was at the establishment about a week up to the Saturday before Easter. He slept in the cottage and attended in the chapel, and had the opportunity of knowing where the chalice and the dish were kept. He (witness) valued the property missing at about 51. The prisoner was proved to have been on the premises 'holey before nine o'clock by some of the Rev. Mr. Weed's servants. He passed through the gate and returned about ten minutes afterward.. His' coat was buttoned up, he had his head down, and his hands in his side pockets. Some thing white was seen sticking out of his pocket, lint which one of the witnesses thought at the time was primer's pocket handkerchief. The prisoner walked away, and was not seen afterwards until he wan apprehended on West minster•bridge on the 12th inst. The Rev. Mi. Weed c the prisoner with robbing his chapel on the Sitar d=re, to which he replied that he was in London at the time. The prisoner denied the charge for some considerable time, but ultimately be pleaded guilty. Mr. Ingham said he could not overlook the cue, and sea fenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment and bard labour under the Criminal Justices Act. Police-constable W. Keeley, 48 DI, was called in by Mr. t Marsh, who desired him to fetch Dr. Hart. He west to Mr. Lidbetter's house, and saw the woman and the boy in the bedroom in the state before described. He was search ing for the knife when he found on • chair at the foot of the bed, under some man's sloths, • shirt stained with blood. There appeared to be the marks of • woman's fingers in blood upon the left breast of it. Polioe.oonetable Marsb,92 M, proved going, from informs, lion received at the station trom Inspector Mclntosh, to 28, Borough-road. He searched the room, but finding no imarument, went over to the prisoner, who was standing by • cab opposite Mr. Pugh'. shop, Witness told him that he had come to search him for the iestrumeat that the deed was committed with. He told him that it was a razor, and that it was in the front room. He went back to the front room, and found on the mantel shelf, amongst some ckim sey ornaments, a rasor marked with blood. There was also • large old-fashioned carving knife on the table amongst some papers, with something like a finger mark of blood near the handle. Mr. Richard Davey, house surgeon of Guy's Hospital, dated that the young man was brought to the hospital on Monday morning, the 25th of May, with his throat cut. Them were no large vessels injured. The windpipe was divided in two plasm. The patient never rallied, and died on the 26th of May, from bleeding and shock consequent upon the injury. The gullet was cut scram Alfred Henry Lidbetter, eon of the accused, residing at 1, Earl-street, Southwark-bridge-road, cabinet bar fitter, was called, and stated that the murdered woman was his stepmother. Size was about 58 or 59 years of sp. He bad • half-brother earned Daniel Grey Lidbetter, aged 16 last January. He had not seen either of the bodies. Mrs. Butter was recalled, and stated that she had no doubt that the murdered woman and boy were the wife and sou of Mr. Lidbetter. She identified the shirt stained with blood as one belonging to Mr. Lidbetter. Inspector M'lntosh, of the if division of Metropolitan Police, confirmed the evidence of police-unstable Marsh as to the finding of the razor in the place where the prisoner bad stated it to be. The charge having bean mad, and the usual caution given, the prisoner said, " I have nothing toot'" The jury at once returned • verdict of " Wilful murder" against Thomas Lidbetter._ Soon after the night charges had been disposed of at the Southwark Police Court, the unhappy man was brought up for further examination. He wee conveyed across from Horsenionger-lane Gaol to the cells at the rear of the police court at an early hour, and kept under the close surveillance of two constables. About 10 o'clock he was visited by his now only son, the one who had gone on an excursion on the morning of the murders. The prisoner seemed quite rational, and talked over his affairs, giving orders about some tools belonging to one of his workmen. As soon as the prisoner was ushered into the dock be looked round the court rather anxiously, and minted himself. Mr. Wontoer was retained by his friends to watch the ease on his behalf. The chief clerk, addressing the prisoner, told him that since his last examination his eon had died, and now he was charged with the doable murder. In oonsequesos of the inquest not having been held, the magistrate had directed him to be farther remanded. SUSPICIOUS DEATH AT MILLWALL—The body of a woman lying in a pool of blood, with her throat cut, was found in a small home in Thome-West, Mfilwall, on Mon day afternoon. A rope was found by the body, and the woman's neck bore marks of strangulation. as if • rope had been mediae that purpose. A razor was also found in the room. On the discovery of the body search was made through the house, and in the yard the deceased's children, who were all of • tender age, were fouled. On further in quiry it was ascertained that the unfortunate dammed was the wife of John Brown, a foreman shipwright, and that for some time put the deceased and her hustand led a most unhappy life from intemperance on the pert of each. The husband's account of the matter is that be left his house on Monday morning, at 9 o'clock, after having had a quarrel with his wife, during which be had eerionaly in formed her that it was his intention to leave her, and did not see her again until she was discovered by her son. On examination of the body it was found that there were several stabs which must have been inflicted about • week previous, nod that, although there were sigma of strangulation, yet death resulted from the out in the throat. the inspector of the K division, Poplar, ascertained on Tuesday rued that the deceased had been cruelly ill taeated by her husband on Monday, the 11th instant, when he returned home in • state of intoxiution. He seised a liable-knife and stabbed her in the abdomen and in other parts, from which blood flowed copiously, but • medical Yentas being called in, the wounds were dressed. and remained in bed for several days. The elder coy his Node the following atatiement to Inspector Burs •—" minima from my work shortly after me o'clock, and . found Nun strest-door open. I went into the front parlour to seek fee my mother, but I could not find her. I saw that the children were playing in the bank garden ; and just at that moment my father cams in to dinner. He appeared to be sober. He said, ' Where is your mother? I replic ' I think she has gone out.' He said, 'Go and look up stairs.' I then ran up into the back room on the first floor, and saw my mother lying dead on the floor, in • pod of blood. I rushed down and exclaimed, ' Oh, father, mother is upstairs with her threat cut.' My father ran up with me, sad on entering the room be picked up the razor, and sud denly threw it down again on the hearth, exclaiming, Curse the thing.' The handle then broke into several Meow. I ran for Mr. M'Andrew, the surgeon, but my mother had been dead some considerable time." Mr. It'Andrew made a more minute examination of the body yesterday morning, and the wound is not, as described, • hirge cot from ear to ear, but, on the contrary, it is • stab wound in the side of the neck, completely dividing the carotid artery, and must have produced instantaneous death. There were several marks of stab-wounds on various parts of the body nearly healed up. An inquest was held by Mr. Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, yesterday after noon, when the jury returned a verdict that donnas& met her death by violence, but by whom inflicted there was no evidence to show. THE DANGER OF ARSENICAL PAPER lIANCIIICOS. Mr.Carttar, Coroner for West Kent, yesterday held an inquiry at the Prince Alfred Tavern, Raglan-road, Plumstead, into the circumstances attending the death of a boy named Thomas Dednian, aged flee years, the sou ri an artisan re siding at Hodson-road, Plumstead. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased expired somewhat soddenly on Saturday last, having been in the habit of sleeping with two other children of the same family in a room the walls of which bad recently been covered with green paper. The other children are very seriously ill, and Dr. Wise gave evidence to the effect that in his opinion the deceased had bun poisoned by inhaling the sneak used in the prepara tion of the green paper. The jury returned • verdict to that effect. ACCIDENTAL Poison/tn.—Dim Wood, the wife of Captain Thomas Pattison Wood, late of the 29th Regiment of Foot, has just met with her death under very melan choly circumstances. The deceased lady, who was only 21 years of age, bade bn staying at R usthall, near Tun heidge Wells, with her husband, and had been confined about eight weeks ago. Early on Saturday morning she re quested her maid, Elizabeth Stove, to give her some of DI inn,' ord's fluid magnesia, which was a medicine she was in the habit of taking. The bottle containing the mixture stood on • shelf along with several other bottles, and the maid unfortunately took one closely mumbling it, but con taining Barnett's disinfecting fluid, a quantity of which she poured out and gave to her mistress. Immediately on swallowing it Mn. Wood experienced • hot, burning isatation, such as she had never felt before, and which she remarked to her maid. This induced the latter to examine the bottle from which she had taken the mixture, and the mistake was then discovered, but as it was not at first deemed • serious matter no alarm was felt, and some simple antidotes were resorted to. The unpleasant symptoms increasing, however, two medical men were ultimately sent for , by whom the usual remedies were applied, but without success. After suffering great pain and sickness the unfortu nate lady expired about midnight on Sunday. At the in quest, w hich was held on Tuesday, the jury returned • ver dict of " Accidental poisoning." accompanied with a strong expression of disapprobation that • mixture of so p oisonous a nature should be sold without being labelled es poison," and they requested the coroner to communicate this present meet to the agents for the male of Burnett's fluid disinfectant. A RoV SHOT BY A VOLUNTEER.—An accident of a singular and somewhat swim nature occurred on Whit. llouy to a little boy, twelve years of asee, named Edwin Unman, during a volunteer parade on the Leicester race wane. On the afternoon of the above day the town and county companies of the Lekestershire Volunteers, under the command of their COlOll4l, assembled on the previously mentioned ground for battalion drill. When they com menced firing blank cartridges, a number of boys, of whom Johnson was one, approached too near them, for the pur pose of picking up the broken gun cam.. After several volleys had been fired, the little boy in quo tion was sitting down on the grass • short distance in front of the men, when he wax shot in the bead by something discharged from one of the rifles of the volun teers, and which caused him to reel over. He was at once picked up, and the surgeon of the regiment, Mr. Fullager, who was on the spot, attended him.

The inquiry into the circumstances attending the deaths of Martha Lidbetter, aged 59, and Daniel Lid better, aged 17, took place yesterday, before Mr. Pays% the coroner for Southwark. The proceedings were opened at the Crown Tavern, St. George's-circus, but immediately titer the jury had been sworn they went to view the body of the woman, at 28, Borongh.road, the house in which the crime was cominitt‘ d, and from thence proceeded to Guy's Hospital, where the body of the youth was lying, and t h ere the evidence was Mr. Wontoer attended to watch the cam on behalf of Thomaa Lidbattor, who is at present in custody, charged with the murder. The fist witness celled was Mr. W. H. Pugh, chemist and druggist, of 102, Borough road, who said-1 know Mr. Lidbetter. He is • chair maker and public-house fitter, in the Borough -reed. As I 7 was opening my shop at o'clock on Monday morning, Mr. Lidbetter, whose place of business is nearly opposite mine, came to me and asked me to step over. 1 promised that I would, and he left me to go back to his home, but I overtook him before he got inside. I asked him what wee the matter, and he told me in a very feeble voice that he bad killed his wife and boy. I did not believe it, but he mid it was a fact. I then said, "Wall, come up, and let us see what you have done." I went up to the centre room on the first floor, where they all slept, and he went up with me. As soon as I got into the room I saw bin wife partly in bat and partly out. She was lying on her face ; her had and chest were on the bed ; the lower part of the legs were bare and very sold. She was on the side nearest to the door. Finding that she was mid and the legs quite stiff, I went round to the further aids, where there was • little bed, on which I sew the son Daniel on his back, with his throat cut very seriously. The boy moved and apprized conscious. I turned round and looked at Mr. Lidbetter, and he seemed rather excited when be maw that the boy was still alive. I understood him to my that he must go. I put my hand on hie wrist, and said, " No, you must go with me, I want to take care of you." We both left the room together. We went into the kitchen, and he took off his cap and put on his hat. Apes him his neckerchief, and/then we came down stairs, and I led him over to my place. He seemed very mild, very harmless, sod quite tort to everything at that time. I took him into my back 100L11, placed him in an easy chair, and went out to seek assistance. I sew Mr. Bigp, the pa fitter opposite, and told him what had occurred. I then waited at the door till I saw a constable cominc, and I told him of it. 1 asked him to stop Mr. Lidbetter if he should attempt to leave the home,while 1 went to Dr. Marsh about the boy. Dr. Marsh followed me immediatelyand went to Mr. Whetter's house. When I I found Mr. Lidbetter in the shop with his daughter, and I called a cab iota which he and the policeman got together, to go to the station. I went into the room at Mr. Lidbetter's while Dr. Marsh was there. A stretcher was sent for from the sta tion by Dr. Marsh's directions, and the son was conveyed to the hospital. I have not seen Mr. Lidbetter since. By Mr. Wontoer—l have attended him some time, and supplied him with a good deal of medicine. On Sunday evening he complained of being unwell, end said he was very wretched. He has altered very much in his manner of late, and seemed gradually getting lost. By the Jury—When Mr. Lidbetter came over to me I think he had • piece of rope or cord in his hand, but I did not pay particular attention to it. I do not know that he bas made any attempt upon his own life. When I lint law the woman her head was bathed in blood, but I did not move her. I should think from the state in which I found her that she had been dead some time. Richard Henry Smith, aged 12 yearn, who described him self as errand boy and groom to Mr. Lidbetter, deposed that be went to the house at half-past six o'clock on Mon day morning. Mr. Whetter came down stairs and went to the street door, and when witness asked him whether he should clean the boots he made no reply. HaVitic cleaned the boots and taken them to the kitchen (up stain), Mr. Lidbetter came up, and asked him whether anybody was cleaning th e posy. He said, " Uncle Beery," Mr. Lid better's brother, was doing it. Mr. Lidbetter asked him whether be was sure of that, and on his replying that he was not, he went up stain for the key of the stables, and told witness to make haste and feed the pony. After he had icd the pony, and opened the shop, Mr. Lidbetter directed him to go for Mn. Rutter, the charwoman. Wit. nem did not go into the sleeping room at all. By theJury.—The pony hed not been used cm the Sunday. Mary Butter, living in Little fkirrey-street, Blackfriars read, stated she was at Mr. Lidbetter's on Sunday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, and she then saw the husband, the wife, and the son, She did not go again till she was sent for on Mooday morning, about half-past seven o'clock. When she got to the house she saw the errand boy, and baring been told by him that he thought the son was asleep she went up to the sleeping room. She then saw the wife lying halt on the bed and half off. Thinking that she had burst a blood-vessel, sad supposing, when she was told that Mr. Lidbetter had gone to Mr. Pugh that he had gone for amiss eau, she remained some little time down stairs. Afterwards Dr. !bush cams, and witness went up with him. The woman was cold, and the boy had got a wound in the throat, but be was living. Dr. Marsh attended to him, and sent him to the hospital. By Mr. Wootner—Mr. Lidbetter was poorly on Swiday, and did sot get up all day. She fetched brandy at his re quest, because he was not well. She had worked foe Mr. Lidbetter three years. A Juror—Have you noticed anything strange about him of late ? The Coroner said they could sot go into the question as to the state of miod of the wound. That was a matter that would doubtless be inquired into by another court. Police-constable Joseph Allen, 39 M, stated that about I half-past seven on Monday morning be received information from Mr. Pugh that some persons had been seriously in jured at 28, Borough-road. He went, In consequence, to Mr. Lidbetter's house, and the door being open proceeded upstairs. He saw in one of the rooms • womaa lying emcee • bed apparently dead, and in another bed bj the side a boy with his throat cut badly. Dr. Marsh was in the room when he went up, and Mr. Pugh came in afterwards. Wit enss west over to Mr. Pugh's shop and saw Mr. Lidbetter leaning against the counter. He told him he must take him i into custody for murdering his wife and cutting and wound. Mg his son. Mr. Lidbetter said he knew all about it, but . he did not know what he was doing at the time : he said he ;had been up and down all night long, and could not get it out of his head. Coma that witness took him to the station. By the Jury—Mr. Lidbetter dd not appear es though he had hese drinkiog, bu t e. excited, and seemed to be in great trouble. Mr. T. J. W. Marsh, surgeon, puctiaing at No. 1, Rock ingham-row Week New Kent-road, said he had known Mr. Lidbetter for some Tun. On Monday morning last he was sent for about 20 minutes to 8, to go to Mt. Lidbetter's house in the Borough-road. When he got there be went upstairs at the request of Mrs. Rutter, and in coesequenos of what he had bawd. In the bedroom ha sew • woman lying on her and chest on • bed, buried in megula. She was in hernightdress. The leg and greater portion of the thigh were exposed. He pieced his band upon the heart and pulse, and satisfied himself that she was dead. Bo did not pay further attention to her them but seeing the young man upon another bed by the side, be went over to him, and found him lng on his hack with • wound ' in his throat. W itness attended to the injury, and then had him removed to the hospit al. Taking the circle of the neck,the wound was round about three parte, from right to left. Hemorrhage had ceased. The wiedpipe had bem divi&d, so that articulation was no longer possible. The boy had two incised woundson the right, side of the chest, and • cut soros' the back of the left hand. He bad also two eats on the loft skis of the Beek, one higher than the other ' • and from the mature of the wound lie should may it began on the right side. As soon as he got the boy off to the hospital witness examined the woman. The face, poem and mouth were boned In ougula and in the feather bed, and it was possible that death had taken place from asphyxia. He should enpis that to be really the immediate cause of &nth, seeing that the wound was no wane than that inflicted upon the boy.

COLLINOWOOD V. BERKELEY LID °THIEL —THE RENON COLUMBIA OVERLAND TUNER COMPANY. This was /an action against Mr. Berkeley, IL P. for Bristol. and several other persons, who had been directors of the British Columbia Overlaid Trailed Company, the object of which was to convey emigrants across the Continent of Anseries to British Columbia, so as to Nam the long sea voyage. The plaintiff formed one of the first batch of emigrants to be sent out, and he paid 421. for his passage, but when be reached a place called St. Paul's, in Minnesota, It was foetid that the company had no means to carry them further, and those who could have furnished conveyance refused to trust the company. The emigrants were in con sequence left at St. Paul's, and they deputed the plainti ff to proceed to London to represent their ease tothe company, but when be arrived in London he found that the company bad awed to occupy its office, and that it was, in fact, at an med. Under these circumstances the plaintiff sued to re cover damages, and he framed his claim in two ways ; first, be complained that he had been induced to take his by the fah* representations of the defendants ; and =y, he asked for damages upon the ground that the &deadest, had not performed their contract to carry him to British Columbia. The trial took place before the Lord Chief Jostles at Guildhall, and in the course of it it was arranged that the coyote which imputed misrepresentation to the defendants should be withdrawn, and that the caws should be tried upon the question whether there had been any breach of contract by the defendants. The jury upon that occasion found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 16W., spied all the defendants except one, Mr. Fenner. After wards rules were obtained to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for Mr. Berkeley and another de faded, Mr. Janis, upon the ground that there was no evi dence against them, or why there should not be a new trial, and on the present occasion the question was whether this rule should be made absolute. Xr Serjeaat Mee and Mr. Soirjeant Pigott appalled to show came against the rule ; and Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and 11r. Kingdom appeared for Mr. Berkeley, and Mr. Daly for Mr. Jads, to support the rale. The company was started by Colonel Sleigh, and the me tract was made with Mr. lienaor, the secretary of the com pany. The defendants' taw was that though they bad con sented to at as directors, they had considered that the company was only in course of formation, and that they had never autho r or even known of the commencement of business. On the other hand various circumstances were relied upon to fix the defendants with liability. The Comi at the conclusion of the argument took time to ooneicier the matter.

The only eau disposed of to-day was one in which the question wu the validity of a deed of composition, and in cemeequenoa of the failure of proof, a nocunut was entered. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE James Snood Laws, a wine merchant, lately carrying on Waimea in Idol-lane, surrendered yesterday, in answer to his bail, to undergo • final examination before Mr. Alder man Hale, sitting for the Lord Mayor, upon a charge of obtaining upon credit, within three months of his bank reptcy, under the false colour and pretence of carrying on Me Dolmas, a quantity of wins, to the amount of 60W., from Messrs. Offiey and Cramp, and also, under a different clause, with having within three months of his bankruptcy unlawfully peened the same wines, in other than the ordi nary mode of trade, with intent to defraud his creditors. Mr. Telford Bolter, barrister, instructed by Messrs. red on behalf of the official aasignee ; and i . r rtekL PT =ter, instructed by Mr. Miller, attended to te behalf of Mr. Symms, wine merchant, one of Cworid on itors ; and Mr. Lewis, jun., attended to defend the peimmer. Tbe OM has been adjourned from time to time, and the of each examination here already appeared, and will that io the cue in which Mr. Etymons was the prosecutor it was adjourned for the purpose of previag if possible that the goods were pawned within three months of the bankruptcy. The ease occupied some con eideralge time yesterday, but the prosecutor failed in that pertioohr ease be eliciting sufficient to show eatiehotorily that the pewniagorsa within the three moeths. It will also be remembered that there was a charge of • different mature against him, by which the prosecution sought to establish the fact that the defendant bad obtained two umpteen's from a Mr. Jones, a wine merchant, by means of tales pretences, inasmuch as the defendant had received an order from that gentleman for a quantity of wine, which be promised should be forwarded immediately, end on account of which he drew • bill which was accepted by Mr. Jones, be believing that the wine would follow in due course. The defendant also drew a draft on Mr. Jones for the purpose of paying the duty, which that gentleman Wands, accepted. The wins, however, bed never been de livered, and Mr. Jones bad paid the acceptances as they be came des. It was proved that at the time the defendant sold the Willa the warrants for the same were in the hands ag Messrs. Needs sad Chaplain, wine brokers, with whom they bed been lodged as security for an advance of money =had made to the defendant, he at the time 'aria( no over them. It also appeared from the evidence adduced that the pri mmer had obtained an acceptance of 561. from a Mr. Brooks, • wine merchant at Woodford, under precisely similar cir cumstances. Mr. Lewis, on the part of the defendant, contended that there was no false preteme whatever ; that the wines were at the docks ia the name of the defendant, end he had bought them in the ordinary way of business, and had con trol over them, with the exception that they were under ad vance, and he could have obtained absolute control by re deeming them. It appeared to bun that the most that could be made of it was a breach of contract. Mr. Alderman Hale, however, said he thought it was • ease is which • jury ought to decide whether it was a moral or • legal trend, and the defendant was committed for trial on 11110i1 charge, excepting, of course, that presented by Mr. Raid, on behalf of Mr. Braces.
