New rare.—Before Lord Denman. PARRY V. ISTataY AND OTHILIM—THE NOIITRAMPTOX TAIIERN At:LW-11 r. Edwin James and Mr. Lee Decker were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder, Q.C., with whom was Mr. klellur, appeared for the defendants. '1 his was an fiction of trespass brought by the minister of a chapel called the Northampton Tabernacle, 'Busted in Bowman-street, Clerkenwell, against the defendants, who were trustees of the chapel, fur improperly . turning the plaintiff out of pos. sessi , m, and for having seiz,d and wild certain property be longing to him that was in the chapel at the time they so committed toe alleged trespass.— r. F. James stated the ease to the jury. He said that the plaintiff was a lair. Elias Parry, and that he was appointed mini - t i r of the cha p el in question in 18:16, previous to which time he had been minister of a chart in :load lids. lie was chosen by two-thirds of the crtiigr,:gatido, and the sect ti which the plaintiff he long, 4 were known as a body of people who followed the doctrines o f the late Countess of Huntingdon. The cbapelwhicb was the subject of the prefect inquiry, had been hula especially for the purpose of securing the services of the plaintiff, and it hail coat the sum of 4,0001. A ground rent of 3-51. a year was paid to the Marquis of Northampton, who had executed a lease to a Mr. Wilson, who had uaderlet it to the present defendants as trustees. The took place on the 9th of August, 1836, and on the 16th of the same month a trust deed was executed. He would call their attention to two clauses in that deed. The first provided for the trustees re ceitiog all monies, &c.. and that Mr. Parry should be mini-ter of the chapel. Then there was a clause which pro. vide.: that the minister should not be removed except at the instance of twe-thirds of the seatbolders of twelve months' standing, and who should convenes special meeting for that purpose, of which three months' notice must be given. Things went on very well down to the month et &reaier, ! 1842, when Mr. Berry, one of the defendants, who appeared to have entertained some hail feeling towards the piaintiif, set a turnout adoat of a very serious character. Au inquiry followed, and two-thirds of the congregation expressed their decided opinion that the charges were totally unfounded. How ever, the p'aintiff was so annoyed by the continued attacks of the defendant upon his character, that on the 23rd of Sept., 1842, he announced from the pulpit his intention to resign his appointment. A meeting of the congregation then took place on the Wednesday . following, being the 2611 t, but the proceedings of that meeting were afterwards set finds, as due notice of the intention t) hold it had not been given. An other meeting took place on the 16th of January, 1443, at which a large majority of the congregation ex pressed their !Fateful acinnwledgmenta of the manner in which the plaintiff had discharged the duties of his sacred office, and their entire confidence in the plaintiff, upon which he con sented again to become their pastor, and continued to be so down to the time when the trespass which be now com plained of was committed. The trespass was committed on the llth of February, when the defendants turned out a man named Crichton, whim the plaintiff had put in possession, closed up the windows, locked the doors, and stripped the plaintid 's pew of its fur niture. The answer they now set up was, that the plaintiff had no right of possession, and that the property in his pew did not belong to him. Proceedings in Chancery were taken, which ended in a decree that the chapel should he sold. As to damages, he (the learned counsel) trusted they would bear in mead the extent of the injury inflicted on his client, and that he had been obliged to hire a room to perform service in at his own expense. — John Crichton was then called, and proved that he was put in possession of the "Northampton Tabernacle ? " Bowman street, Clerkenwell, under a written authority signed by the plaintiff and two other gentlemen. That was on Sunday, the Bth February 1846. On the following Monday morning the three defendants, Messrs. Berry, Hill, and Bailey called and demanded to see his authority, which be produced to them; and they made no further obser vation. On the following Wednesday they came slain, accompanied by a carpenter. They then told him he must go. At that time be had a broom in his hand, and he threatened to knock them down if they attempted to turn him out. He put the broom down, anti immediately the three defendants and the carpenter seized him, and after a severe struggle car ried him out of the chapel. Oa cross-examination the witness said all the time he was in the chapel the defendants had a party in poss ession also. Mr. Robert Smeed, said he was a grocer, carrying on business in Clerkenwell. He was tree /WM:I and one of the managers of this chapel. The witness then went through the whole of the facts as they were stated by the learned counsel in his opening address, adding that the plaintiff was honourably acquitted of the charge brought against him by the defendant. In hie muse-examina tion he stated positively that five-sixths of the congregation did not believe hint guilty of the offence that the rumours which had gone abroad imputed to him. They had pre sented the pl iintiff with a Bible. The chapel was sold by private canteen . . These rumours had caused the congrega tion to fall off from 700 to 200. In answer to a question from hie lordship and ono of the jurymen the witness said that the charge brought against the defendant was that he had been guilty of indece-t conduct with some girl. Mr. Watt stated that he had caused the plaintiff's pew to have some curtains and rods put to it. He intended this to be for the plainitis own use, and made him this present es a mark of esteem.—Mr. Trail, the solicitor to plaintiff, proved that, when be was before the m stir in chancery, he claimed certain articles that were in plaintiff's 1 pew, and the defendants then admitted they had sold them. —Mr. Crowder, on the part of the deft ndants, submitted that the interest of the plaintiff, under the trust deed, was not such as would entitle him to maintain an action for trespass. The defendants, in tact, had somebody in posses sion who had been always there, and the plaintiff had no right to put anybody else in.—Lord Denman thought that, if the plaintiff had been turned out of his pulpit by the de fendants, he might maintain an action for trespass; but he did not think his interest under the trust deed was such as to enahle him to do so.—Mr. Crowder then addles ed the jury, observing, that as the chief question in the cause had just been decided by his lordship, the only point for their consideration wan, whether the articles alleged to have been i m properly sold by the defendants were the property of the plaintiff or not. As to the brass rods arid the curtains, he should prove that they were presents to the minister's pew, not to the individual exclusively who might then happen to be minister, and as to the hassock, cushion, and table, they had heard of as being claimed by the plaintiff, they had belonged to the congregation before the plaintiff bi cense their minis ter. lie had had all returned that belonged to him, and this claim was merely set up for the purpose of getting a verdiot to carry costa—Witnesses were then called, who stated it was the custo-n net to remove things from the chapel when once placed there; that there was a regularion to the contrary, and that the table, cushion, and hassock had been furnished by an order of the vestry.—Mr. James hay ing replied, Lord Denman recalled a witness of the name of Maher, who put up the rods, and asked him if they could be moved, to which he replied in the affirmative. His lordship then briefly summed up, remarking thnt as Mr. Watt had nude the plaii..ilf a present of the rods and curtains, they must be taken to be the plaintiffe, so long as ho had feed them in such a manner as to be removable, As to the other articles, it was proved they had been there before the plaintiff lacome ruinister.—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 31., being the value of the brass rode and curtains. COURT OF COMMON PLEAB. Before the Lord Chief Jeshee and • WWI Jar,. WATSB HOWIL R 089.-00001 021 BALI OR UZI MN. — Mr. Berjeant Bylea and Dlr. Miller appeared for the plain tiff; and der. Berjeant Channel and Mr. J. Browne for the defendant. The action was brought to raeoere a sum of 2,6861. Ile 6d. for goods sold and work and labour, and the amount of eight bills of exchange. A sum of 891. 15a. had Mean paid into court. The plaintiff is an importer and defiler in watches in Rupert-emcee, Pimadffir fondant is a manufacturer a watehee in C . and the &i -harter-hous- empure. It appeared that they had had dealings together ke mine time, and in May. 1847, the defendant, being de &MI of taking a shop for the sale of watches at TO, Com bat, comated the plaintiff on the matter, who advised him to do so, and offered to lay aside a sutra/dent quantity of watches to stock the ahop , which were eventually sold to the dehodant. Their usual coons ot deali months tag was i three months' credit, land then bills at three , and et this time there was • hastier , due from the defendant of about 1001. For tbi% sum a bill of exchange was accepted by the defendan t, and subsequently paid, as I were eight others at different dates of the Ram, amount, when the goods were delivered. To six of these bills a "none proetwri" was entered by the plaintiff, they not being due at the time of action twourtlit. The action now was brought on the other two bills, and the price charged for the watches. For the defence it was urged that the watches were not sold out and oat, but were sold on sale ur return, The bills of exchange were separate from the charge for the watches ; they were in the hands of the plaintiff 's bankers for value, and they were the real holders. The plaintiff was in fan the owner of the stock at the defendant's shop in Cornbill, of which the defendant wee to sell as many as pos sible, and the plaintiff himself otan took watches from that shop and sold them. Witnesses were called to show this was the arrar gement between the partiee,and that the plaintiff constantly came to the shop to inquire about the sale, and that he took away watches to sell himself, to the amount of 921. Ba. 9d. The defendant had sold to the &moult of Bil. le. Although the case occupied the whole day, the only qua tion involved was, whether the goods were sold out and out, or on sale or return. So far as the two bills of exchange were concerned, the objection that the plaintiff's bankers were the real holders was decided to be fatal, so that, coupled with the "none prosequi" to the sin others, the question, as related to the hills amounting to 8001., was necessarily found for the defendant, under the direction of the court. At the close of the case t he jury inquired whether a verdict ought not to be taken subject to a re ference, as they thought justice could only be done in that way.—A verdict was therefore taken for the plaintiff, subject to • reference of all matters in difference. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. NISI pure.—Before die P. Pollock, C. 8., ami• Special Jury. THE ATTOI24IIY-ORNIItAI. O. F. CROSIILT. EXCTIM Ceuee.—The Attorney-General, Sir F. Thesieer, Q.C., Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. J. Wilde were counsel fu r the prow elution. Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Lush for the defendant. This wee an information to recover penalties for the violation a the excise laws regulating the manufacture of soap. It rose out of what is technically termed the " cleansing" of I map, which means the removal of it from the boilers into immes. Seven days' notice of each cleansing must, by law, be given to the officers of the excise. On the sth of June lest such • notice had been given, and on the 12th two sure. rise officers; went to the defendant's premises, at = . They discovered the frames, with respect to whish bad been given on the sth, so warm and so similar in temperature to frames filled from the boilers nn the 12th, that they supposed the soap cleansed on the sth had been removed, and another cleansing, of which no notice had been given, bad been recently made. They im mediately seized the soap, to the extent of four tons and is half, and the present prosecution wee the re sult. On behalf of the crown, Mr. Hawes, of Lambeth, and Mr. Wheels, of Ilatcliff-highway, extensive soap manufac turers, were called to prove the physical impossibility that the temperature of the frames could have been so high on the 12th of June, if the contents had been, no the defendant represented, deposited in them a week before. It was charged that the first boiling was composed of such mate rials that it cooled very quickly, and thus the defendant was enabled to have made a second cleansing, of which he had given no notice, and which he would have cut down or removed on the 14th of June—the expiration of the notice he had given— only for the discovery which had been made. The defendant called several persons to prove that the temperature of soap in frames in the month of June could not be relied upon as a proof that it had been recently removed into them, or that there had been two cleansings between the .sth and the 12th of June. Several persons in the trade also deposed that so !nun defended upin the quality of the meterials used in the manufwure of the article; and judring Wm the specimen then produced there could urder no circumstance be two cleansings within nine days. They stated, that con sidering the heat of the weather in June, it was not possible that soap, such as that seized on the defendant** premises, could have been sufficiently solid, or in a fit state to be " cut down" in lea' then eight days after the cleansing. The learned judge, while summing up, was interrupted by the jury, who found a verdict for the Crown—penalties, 7001. ratting' In Hamm. %VIRAL!. v. KlNG.—Paavaase VERDICT.—NEW TRIAL. —Coens.—This was an action of ',mimosa, brought to re cover damegee from the defendant for the breach of warranty of soundness on the sale of 500 store sheep at • fair in Hert fordshire. At the trial before Mr. Baron Parke, at the last Monfort assizes, it appeared that the sheep in question were sold, without any expreta warranty, in November, 18 46 , and that in tie month of March following, they gave unequivocal indications of toe rot. Upon thts the plaint tlf wrote to the de fendant, demanding compensation and a rettlement, but the de. fondant replying that the 'beep were sound when mid, and that or would not be answerable for their soundness, for so leen after their sale, this action was brought, the plaintiff relying not on any express warranty. hut on the warranty implied by law and acted on by the custom of the country on saki o store sheep. On this subject a great number of witnesses were called, who were in the habit of frequenting the great sheep fairs, and all said that when sheep so b o ught turned out unsoun d they never knew of a case iu which the vendor had refused to make good the loss, or bad disputed the custom. Many of these witnesses extended their notions of the law and this custom to pigs, horses, and cattle, all thinking evidently that the purchauir was entitled to return either of those animals, as well as store sheep, if they turned out unsound, though there had not been any express war ranty of soundness. In summing up, the learned judge told the jury, which was a special one, that the law did not imply any such warranty as was evidently supposed to exist by all the witnesses called for the plaintiff, and that it was for them (the jury) to say whether any such custom existed as was set up by the plaintiff. On this, however, there was a question for the jury—there was little or no evi. donee in the case on which they could act. The jury, how ever, without any hesitation found • verdict for the laintiff. A rule was a ft erwards obtained to set aside this ver p dict, on the ground that it was perverse ; and now, the notes of the trial having been read, Mr. Serjeant Shoe ape peared to show cause against the same, and to support the finding of the jury, which he contended was amply sup ported by the evidence of the custom.—Mr. Baron Parke : There was but the slightest possible evidence to support your case—but I left the case to the jury lest it might be said that there was something to go to the jury. I, bow, ever, gave them as strong an intimation of my °melon as I could do short of taking the verdict out of the mouths of the jury, and I little expected that a special jury would have so found as they did here.—Mr. Serjeant Shee : The ques. don was one for the jury, and they have found according to their view of the evidence : the verdict may be against evidence, but it cannot be deemed • perverse one.—Mr. Baron Parke : I left the case to the jury certainly, but they ought not to have found az they did if they attended to the law laid down to them. They were very much surprised to hear me say that the law did not imply any warranty on the sale of a horse, and I dare say they paid no attention to the law I laid down to them as ap plicable to this transaction. It is only a question of costs, and we think that the rule must be made absolute, but that the costs must abide the event of the cause.—The whole of the calla concurred in this view of the case, and so without hearing Mr. Id. Chambers and Mr. Wordsworth in support of the rule, the Court made the rule absolute as sug - Mr. Baron Parke.—Rule absolute accordingly. gteied by COURT Ot BANKRUPTCY. Before Conintiesioaers Goulburn, vonblanque, and Iloiroyd. QFASTION AS TO THE OPENING OF AN AWARD.—ILI the case of Lyon Samuel, silversmith, of Bury-street, St . Mary-axe, a guestioa had been raised as to whether an award made before the bankruptcy was conclusive ; and a subdivision court was now held to hear the arguments. — Mr. Cole, solicitor, tendered a proof for 16,7431. 12s. 2d., on behalf of the assignees of Messrs. M. and H. Emanuel, which sum was due to them under an award by Mr. Wm. Quiiter, accountant, of Coleman-street, which had been made a rule of court. In Michaelmas term last, the rule had been made absolute for the payment, and then Samuel, being in a state of hopeless insolvency, went into the Ga zetfe,—the fiat being dated 25th November, 1817. At the choice of assignees, this proof had been tendered, and ob. jected to on the ground that the award was had—the arbi triter being one of the assignees. A few years ago, Mews. Emanuel had carried on an extensive business as jewellers, in Bevis Marks; on Mr. Matthew Emanuel retiring, a payment of 8,0001. a year was made due to him from his brothers, Michael and Henry Emanuel, which was paid for some time, and then reduced to 4,0001. a year. As the firm felt a pressure in meeting these payments, they resorted to bill transiotions. The bankrupt Samuel, had been a jeweller and bill discounter. Messrs. Emanuel had deal ings with him ; and he suggested to Mr. Henry Emanuel, to enter with him into share transactione, offering him, at the same time, facilities for discounting bal. In 1815, two bills amounting to 6,4451. were accepted by Mr. H. Emanuel without the knowledge of his brother, and discounted by Samuel at the Union Bank of London: of the proceeds Mr. H. Emanuel got 5,0001., and Samuel retained 1,4451. for his share. Similar transactions followed ; and in August, September, October, and Nevem her Samuel had drawn, and H. Emanuel bad accepted, un known to his brother, bills to the amount of 52,0001., with out any consideration. These bills being ail at long datee, the transactions did not come to the knowledge of Mr. M. Emanuel till January 1848, when he immediately *ought the protection of the court. Bills to the extent of 42,000!. were proved against the estate ; one of 10,0001. having been given up by Samuel. Oat of the 52,0001., 32,0001. bad been received by Samuel, and Henry Emanuel got about 18,0001. In July, 1846, Samuel had been sued on two of the bills for 6001. at the suit of the assignees of Messrs. Emanuel ; he then filed a bill in equity. Mears. Emanuels answer int. pitted to him fraud ; and ultimately, when the ' action came on for trial, a reference of all matters in dispute was agreed to, and Mr. Quitter was appointed arbi'rator at the earnest persuasion of Mr. Samuel. He had since objected that Mr. Quitter was one of the assigame of Messrs. Emanuel; (but he was not a creditor on either estate, having been merely joined with the other enigma on account of his intimate knowledge of the transactions; and if he bad any bias at all, it would be rather in favour of Samuel's estate. The artritraibn was perfectly regular and the order binding ; the only ob jection being that the arbitrator, although fully agreed to by both parties, was nominally a plaintiff' to the action. Counsel ones& side had appeared before the azbi- Meteor ; t esty point had been raised and discussed; and then, aler two menthe' consideration, Mr. Quitter made his award.—Mr. Cole read the award.—Mr. Commissioner Cloulturrn doubted whether the assignees had power to refer, runt's' a specific ast di le rr oriy e rj . been given by the creditoas, I in references to this ease.—Mr. Cole contended that that objection not now tries; it was merely a gate tion between the assignees of Messrs. Emanuel and their creditors, and could not now be relied by Samuel, as ajrs Emannat's assignees , he being esteem d by the 'mud made a rule of coteri e — Mx. Poatilaaqua Li THE EXPRESS TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1818. hie supposed, f at h er .—Jobs Challis Smith proved that he k n ew the prieaser, and also knew his tether. The prisoner's name was Thomas Harris, and his father's name was Robert His father had been dead four or five years.—lnspector Shackell deposed that he was engaged to investigate the supposed conspiracy, and he accompanied the prisoner to Marlborough-street police-Court, where the prisoner made a deposition, and witness received a warrant on the llth of January, and went with the prisoner to apprehend the parties named. They went to numerous places, and were occupied for twelve hours In the inquiry, and wit ness at length had some suspicion of the prisoner's proceedings. - They parted at 12 o'clock at night, and he told the prisoner to come to his house to breakfast at nine the next morning, bat he did not come. He subsequently nada inquiries,winch resulted in the apprehension of the prisoner. On his being questioned with regard to his not keeping his appointment, he said that he had met his father is the Quadrant, and had aocompanied him to several plates be look for the parties named in the warrant. After the pri soner was in custody he admitted that his name was Thomas Harris, and that his father had bees dead four or five years; and he begged for mercy of Mr. Llo y d. Shaeltell added that from the opportunities he had had of seeing the psi sonar's writing, he was of opinion that the letters that had been produced were written by him. At the close of the case for the preeecution, Mr. Lloyd was recalled, at the request of the jury, and, in answer to a question put to him by one of them, he said he was not aware that it was the practice of the turf to purchase information of the character of that offered by the prisoner. The prisoner called one witness to speak to his character, but in answer to a question put by Mr. Clarkson, who ap peared for the prosecution, the witness admitted that he had heard the prisoner was in Newgate upon a charge of felony in October last —The prisoner said that before the case went to the jury he should like to age Mr. Lloyd whether he had not some reason to believe that his horses had been drugged during the past year t—Mr. Lloyd said that he had.—The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Clarkson said there was another charge against the prisoner, of having committed the offence of perjury in the deposition he made at the police-court, and besides this he was charged in October last with sending threatening letters, and upon that occasion the principal witness was induced to keep away by being paid the sum of 301. He also thought it right to state that but for the discretion exercised by the proeectitor, some noblemen and gentlemen would actually have been apprehended upon the representations of the pri soner, and Mr. Lloyd might have been entirely ruined by the consequences.—The prisoner was then sentenced to be --..orted fur seven years. it would tie more convenient tint to consider the merits of the case.—Mr. Cole said the bankrupt had never attempted to set slide the award, nor had he opposed the rule being made absolute; consequently his assignees were now bound by it, even if the submission were bid on the face of it. In support of this, he cited Watson on Awards, Nichols e. Row" (3 Milne and Kean. P. 431), s , Auriol e. Smith" (I Turner and Russell, p. 121), and " Hall v. Hinds" (2 Manning and Granger, p. 247), in which last case, not withstanding a gross arithmetical blunder on the part of the arbitrator, and the order being made on the wrong party, the court was extremely tenacious about disturbing the award. In " Phillips e. Evans " (12 Memon and Webby), the court refused to interfere, although, by the omission of an item of 1191. in striking the balance, the award had been made on the wrong side.—Mr. Commissioner Goulburn referred to Wateon's book, and said that the cases were common of awards being set aside because the submissions were bad on the face. He should be glad to be referred to any ease where such an award had been enforced against third parties, either by action, by at tachment, or, as in this case, by order.—Mr. Cole cited one or two other cases, and contended that the bankrupt having been guilty of lathes could not now impeach the award. The case was one clearly within the act, by the terms of the submission; and if not so, there was no precedent for dis turbing it. As to the merits of the case, if he was not ad mitted to prove on the order and award, he should prove, on the part of the billholders ' for money paid on account of Samuel. This proof would be for 9s. ltd. in the pound, dividends to the amount of 101. Id. having been paid out of Emanuel's estate, by which amount Samuel's estate had been relieved. There were, however, many other proofs, probably to the amount of 100,0001., no that the dividend would perhaps not be more than Is. in the pound.—Mr. Webster, *elicitor to the assignees, declined to address the court, observing that he merely attended to watch the Clllo.—Mr. Sydney, for the petitioning creditor, argued that the consideration for the award ought to be gone into, and said that if this was done it was clearly one that could not be made the subject of proof. Until the other creditors were satisfied, the two estates could not make their mutual deal ings matter of proof against each other. The award was clearly bad, from the arbitrator being an assignee and plain tiff in the action ; also, on the ground that it was not final, but left some matters still open to litigation. The impro priety of a plaintiff acting as arbitrator or judge had been uniformly recognised. Mr. Justice Best had refused to try a case in which the Foundling Hospital was concerned, be calm he was a trustee of that institution. In this case also, the law of surety applied, by which the acceptor of a bill could not prove against the drawer till be had paid his acceptance. This was clearly established by the cage ex parts Rawson.—Mr. Cole replied. The question of suretyship did not arise if the award was held good.—Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque said be would leave the finality of the award to the consideration of his colleagues; but where a party sought to enforce such an instrument in this court ho must first observe equity towards the other creditors, and had the case been brought forward entirely irrespective of the award, it would have come under the clause relating to sureti.s. Besides, it was an established principle, that a party could not prove in competition with his own creditors ; a,a11.11 this ground he should he disposed to reject the proot.—Mr. Commissioner Ilolroyd a'so thought that Emanuel's assignees had no right of proof on the award. Ile did not regard the award u conclusive ; first, because the agreement of reference was not made in the mode pointed out by the act ; and, secondly, because the equities of the case were dealt with by the award—this court was .bound to look into those considerations. Both houses having become bankrupt, and there being creditors who had claims on both, it WY clear they could not make proofs on each other till the other creditors had been satisfied ; and this rule was not varied by the fict of one of the Emanuel. having deceived his brother. Ile thought the assignees of Emanuel had no right of proof whatever.—Mr. Commissioner fl mlburn con curring, the proof wet reiected.—Mr. C•oninissioner Fon , lelanque added, that the appointment of any interested party • as arbitrator was so contrary to the first principles of justice, that no consent whatever could make it valid If it were allowed in any cue, it might be in that of on re s p ectable and t upright a man as Mr. Quitter; but it would be extremely as a precedent. SURREY ADJOURNED QUARTER SESSIONS. Wore T. Prickle, faq., and a Bench of Magistrate& HIGHWAY ROBBERY. EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT. C. Robinson, H. Burgess, and R. Cooper, were indicted for stealing a silver watch, two keys, and a ring, from the per son of Henry Westerham. On the night of the 26th ult. the prosecutor went into the Crawn tap, at Croydon, and partook of some ale. When he left the house he was suddenly taken ill, and fell down near the Mall, and was picked up by the prisoners, who quitted the same public•house a little be fore 12 o'clock. A female, named Carr, saw them surround the prosecutor, end perceived Burgess pull something from , his waistcoat, which suddenly snapped, and the prosecutor fell down. They then all ran away. Prosecutor then came to his senses and gave information to the police, when they went to Robinson's father's, on Croydon-common, and took Robinson and Burgess out of bed. After they were secured the room was searched, and a portion of the chain, seal, and key were discovered in a hat-hos at the foot of the bed on whieh Burgess had slept. Another portion of the chain was in proccutor's possession, and corresponded with that found. The watch and appendages were not found.—The Chairman having summed up, much to the astonishment of the pri soners and every person in court, the jury returned &verdict of Acquittal. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before Mr. Commissioner Phillip.. Ire is ADAM OXIMTOM.—Tke opposing creditor in this ease was Philip Isaacs, a bill discounter. The insolvent held a situation in the Woolwich dockyard, at a salary of 2501. a year. He had been mind up is accommodation bill transactions to a great amount. He had accepted bills, for his own accommodation, which were discounted by the op• posing party at en interest of 40. 50, and sometimes 60 per cent. The insolvent made an offer to set aside 501. a year for the benefit of his creditors, whose debts amounted to a large cum.—The Commissioner said he could never sympa thise with creditors who protected themselves by charging such enormous interest as that of 40, 50, and 60 per cent.; end where such things did occur, there must be a very dis tinct ease of fraud proved avainst aa insolvent before the Commissioner would remand a man entirely at the suit of such a creditor. As, it was, he (the Commissioner) should order the insolvent to pay MI. a year to kis creditors.—A day was named fur the final order. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. 01.1) COURT. -Before the Common fierjeant. FALAI PRltYlttieSS. bI•K MCI Hostage " vit." T. llama, alien A. Ilayord, was indicted for a mis demeanor i n unlawfully obtaining 101. from Cultic Lloyd by false pretenc.s.—Mr. C. Lloyd said that he kept race-hones. On the 4th December last he received the letter (produced), and which war put in and read. It was dated the 4th December, 1847, and was sddressed from No. 3, Peerless-place, City-road, and proceeded an follows : sir, —Understanding that you are a confederate with Mr. Maityn In the Rentinek stud, I take up my pen to disclose the whole affair rule tire to the horses **longing to the Goodwood stable being " got at," through the last racing mason, more particular In reference to Planet, Red Hart, Glentilt, ifm., and if we can mane to terms, as 1 mu prove the bets, that of Planet and the other bones was got at, and a certain drug given them, so as to ensure their logos the rams they marts for, and likewise Bekaa( the constitution of the horses. I hear that It has been hinted In some paper this week that the trainer, Kent, knows all about it, and the stable likewise; but this I tan prove to be false, and likewise that therarne parties will again, if pas'l sible, get at the Goodwood Derby horses neat year, as one of the parties engaged in that affair te busily engaged In taring loos odds against a horse ailed Surplice til e sthe stable, and if, air, lon choose to come to my terms, the part all concerned in the ads shall be given up to yen, and likewise some of the Muff that was aims to the bonito, with every proof of the mine, and Do surmises, but ail facts. My terms are as follows : —That you shall send me by retorts of post, on the receipt of this letter, • 101. note. I will then east you on Thursday (it cannot be before, as one of the witnesses will ha's to oome from the country, and I most send him some money down to pay his expenses up to l.00doet) at any place and time you choose to appoint, and I will bring all the witnasesand proofs against I top ar ties engaged In it ; and altar I have dose so, sad proved your sated:action that what I state Is trite, and the parties are n your pos session, that you shall further remunerate me with a sum not less than 201. If you will agree to this, I shall thank you to let me hare the money by return of pat, so that there may be no delay in the affair, and that the maim engaged In it may be thoroughly cz rwed.-;Awalting your answer, I remain your obedient servant, IL The witnem proceeded—ln consequence of thiecommuni• cation, he sent an answer, addressed to H. Milford, Peer lese-place, City-road, to the effect that he should be happy to hear what he had to say,but dechoing to send the money. ' A few days afterwards the prisoner called upon him, and re presented that he had been sent by his father, who was un able to come himself, and he asked him if he had not received a letter from his father, promising to give him some information with reference to a conspiracy that bad existed, and did exist, of parties drugging race hones; and he wished to know if his father had not undertaken to produce certain witnesses, if 101. were g:ven him to pay the necessary expense of their journey to London. Witness told him he had heard from his father to that effect ; and, on his further statements, witness gave him 101. The prisoner maid on this occasion that his name was Henry Raiford, and that the letter of the 4th Dec. come from his lather, and that he was to take the 101. to his father, and that he would imme diately go to Manchester and bring up three witnesses whose names he gave. Toe prisoner, on this occasion, produced a letter, arid said that his lather had been implicated in such transactions for row years, and had received large sums of money. The letter purported to be written by a person named Williams, whom he described as the head of the gang. The following letter was then put in and read : Prince of Wales, Clarence-street, Brighton, 13th Dec., MG.— ' Dear Harry,—l have been busy arranging with -- to make safe Kent's homes, Surplice and Leathern*, for thc 2,000 guineas. I rem to receive 2001. for doing it, and if we can manage to get at —, he will stand • monkey and a good ilare.np. Just to what you can do in the latter ease, as I am unacquainted with the stable. It would be as well if we could " ruse" the latter horse. -- wrote to me yesterday, and my' he can etand something handsome if we eon make Kent's homes safe. I wrote and told him we ahmild have them all eight before the day. You had better sec about laying against Kent's horses. Don't mention the affair, because of I shall go and see of Chichester, and yon had better write to Manchester, and get them to begin to lay them. We ought to make a couple of thousands out of this affair, be ginning so early. Keep your weather eye up. You can write to me here. tat me know whether you want to see either - or —'s letters. If nut,' will destroy thou.—Tows sincerely, J.P.Wituaus. The prisoner also said that his father would not expose all the parties concerned, but merely those who had act.el I shabbily to him; and that he himself had not as yet taken anytrut in that conspiracy, but, as his father and brother had behaved ill to him, he intended to set to work on his own account, and wnuid get him information which they plaid not. On the faith of these representations witness Rave him the money, and the prisoner wrote a receipt. He Sid several cunmunications with the prisoner after this, and be produced a number of letters of a similar character to the one from Williams.—Crossexamined by the prisoner : I did:not offer you money to " work " for me in getting Information. I don't know that I offered you a thousand guineas reward, but I did my that if you could prove the suistence of such a conspiracy, and assisted in the conviction 1 Mks guilty parties, you would very probably have a very hip reward, and I might have mentioned the sum of a thousand guineas. I said I would protect you "gainst the parties if they endeavoured to do you any injury. I may have said that I thought I knew the handwriting of the lettei marked with an S and four crores.—Re-examined : At the time in question witness was joined with Mr. Mostyn in keeping race horses. He had no knowledge of any conspiracy, except from the letter produced by the prisoner, and his statements respect. ins them. lie should not have parted with his money but foe these representations, Milk hisbellef, founded upon thins, that there really was a conspiracy to drag his racehorses. Lord Henry Lennox deposed that he was acquainted with Mr. Lloyd, and he remembered his handing to him the letter dated the 4th December. The prisoner sub,. quently told him that his father, his brother, and the man Ye illis= were well known at Hirton's coffershcp, in reartearplace, and that Williams came *enemy day. g ra g T Baker, waitress at the eoffee.shop re fer to, de d ia t, the prisoner was in the babit of frequiniting at she knew nothing about his lather or Williams. The primmer was generally orampled in writing, and she observed him writing • gnat many letter.—Mr. Kirtou, the pro prietor of the coffee-bonne, proved that theyrisoner was in the habit of writing letters, in the name of Henry Raiford, solemn protestations of his intentions t» make her his wife she lived with him for three months, when she importuned him to fulfil his promise, and he again published the banns; , the ring was purchased, and a day appointed for the mar- riage ceremony to take place, but on arriving at the church the heartless fellow gave hLs bride the slip, and was not heard of for several weeks a ft erwards. The young woman imbsequently gave birth to • child, and has ever sines continued to support herself and her offspring by her own industry. The prisoner, ant content with the anguish and misery he had brought upon her, has since fre quently annoyed her, and because she has refused to renew the intimacy, he has more than once threatened her. He came to her mother's house on Saturday night, while he was in a state of intoxication, and on her refusal to walk out with hies, he struck her several blows on the head and race, and knocked her down. She was carried to the hoe pital.—The prisoner, in defence, pleaded inunication.—Mr. Yardley fined the prisoner 51., and in default of payment committed him to the House of Correction for two months. A communication would be made to the governor of the gaol respecting the prisoner, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he was really in a sound state of mind or not. CHAntxv,—Mr. Ballantine has received 51. from R.R.R., with • request from the donor that 3L of the amount should be devoted to the poor-box, and 21. be given to Louisa Roswell, who committed a trifling felony to provide food for another under the pressure of severe distrees, and whose cue was , published is the Daily News of Thursday.

The real cause of the evil I must say I can trace to nothing but the conduct of the offi cers of the unions, particularly of the City of London Union, for when the unfortunate creatures go to the relieving officers for relief they do not receive the order of admission till an !advanced hour of the day, and then they are obliged, ex ,. blunted and worn out, to walk a distance of four miles to Peckham before they get a morsel of bread. In fact, the officers of the City of London Union do all they can to abate the number of applications by rendering them as disagree , able as possible to the persons making them, and throw all ' the onus and trouble on the police.-Mr. Lloyd remarked that he was under distinct orders which those who employed him would not permit him to deviate from. He uniformly granted orders to the female applicants with out delay.-The defeadants said the relieving nffi- CM had refused them repeatedly and most offen sively.-One of the police stated that he had frequently been present when Mr. Lloyd refused to give orders.- One of the women accused was then charged with having kicked one of the police in a most dangerous manner while he was conveying her to the station.-The Lord Mayor re • quired that emits of the defendants should find bail to the amount of 51., the relieving officer having sworn that he ap prehended danger to his life from their violence; and directed that the City Solicitor should prosecute Mary Phillip, the woman who kicked the policeman. His lord ship concluded by emphatically calling upon the authorities of the City of London Union to remedy, without further delay, as evil which they had allowed to reach a fearful maguitnde.-When the six females were ordered to be taken malt to prison, they turned upon the police, and • v.olent sauffie took place in the narrow bar of the justice-room be tween the constables and their prisoners; and long after the latter were locked up in the cage, they continued to scream and bellow through the building, and to curse the magis trates, and the police, and the poor-laws, in language the most revolting. WESTMINSTER.-Evanirto Tote.-Mr. If. Small. bone was charged with attempting to evade payment of toll. -blink Webster, toll-collector at Vauxhall-bridge, whose race was dreadfully lacerated, stated that he was on duty at the Middlesex gate at a little before 8 on Sunday everikig, when defendant, who was driving a chaise cart, paned through the gate without paying the toll. Witness called out to him to stop, but instead of doing so the defendant immediately Bogged the horse. Witness ran behind the cart and caught hold of it, when a man who was in the cart with defendant said, " Give it to him," meaning that he was to flog the horse again. Witness continued his hold of the tail of the cart, and was dragged about two hundred yards, when be put his foot on the top of the spring, and leaning over the tail board, took defendant's friend's hat off. In getting down witness's foot got between the cart and the spring, and he was dragged a great distance, first with his head on the ground, and then 1 0 ith his arms. He contrived to clear himself from the cart, but after doing so was almost insensible. The horse was stopped by defendant within 20 yards of witness, and driven b ick to him, when defendant's companion said, "My man, you've got my hat." Witness replied that he had,. when defendant's compaeion offered to nay the toll, adding, .. Never m i n d • my f r i en d is drunk." Witness called " Police," when delenerant's friend offered to pay any sum if he abstained from doing so. In concluding his statement complainant declared that he was very sore all over, and that the medical gentleman who had attended him said he ought not to leave his house for a week or more.-J. Banks, another toll collector at the bridge, proved that complainant called upon defendant and his friend to pay, at the time they passed through the gate, and that the afterwards whipped the horse repeatedly. He could not tell which used the whip.-Mr. Broderip observed that this case was of by far too serious a nature for him to deal with summarily, and he should therefore send it for trial at the sessions.-Defendant expressed his deep regret at what had oceurred.-He was ordered to find ban, himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each, to answer the at the sessions.-Bail was immediately put in. ,ch nrAME.9.-A BaDTAL OUTItIOII.-6.

Reduced Threes, 891 to Tbree-and.a-Quarter per Cents., 901 to Long Annuities, 9to 1-16. March Exchequer bills, 255. to 30s. ; the June, 28s. to 33a. premium. India Bonds, 25e. to 30s. premium. Bank Stock, 200 to 202. India Stock, 241 to 3. Money was remarkably easy on the Stock Exchange, and could be had from 11 to 2 per cent. on Console and other similar securities. The foreign market remains without particular movement. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 54 to 1; the Fours, 851 to 1. Spanish Fives, 211 to 2 ; the Threes, 32 to 1 ; Passive°, 51 to 1.

Complaints are made that with all the ease and abundance of money, as shown by low and still falling rates of interest, by Bank of England returns of coin l and bullion running info excess, with banking re serves still on the increase and unproductive, and all other banks and discount houses refusing to receive money on call at 2 per cent., so distressed are they already with over supplies which cannot be laid out to advantage, that ni vertbeless none of this plethora of wealth can or will be spared for the accommoda tion of any portion of the commercial and trading community not ranking in the exact category of what are known as first-class houses. Money in the Stock Exchange on accredited stocks and from accredited parties can obtain only from 1* to 2 per cent. First-class bills are competed for by banks and discount brokers at from 31 to 31 ' per cent., whilst fair second class commercial and trading paper is either tabooed entirely, or will be treated only upon mu ions consideration. Deck warrants which, in ordinary times, are usually ac counted a desirable security, can only in few instances, and then as a matter of favour to the individual holder as an old connexion, be admitted to loan at all, for which a rate of 6, more generally 7, per cent. must be submitted to. It may be, and is doubtless, proper that some extra consideration should be paid for loan accommodation on this species of security, which requires that, in default of repay ment at the time specified, the produce represented by the warrant thould be summarily sold on the best. terms of the day which could be realised, and there fore too often in dull and falling markets would be sacrificed. On such occasions the banker or lender also is subject to the earnest solicitations of the owner for an extension of the time for repayment, with re presentations of the grievous loos to which he would be exposed by forcing his upon an adverse market, which cannot but be disagreeable as appeals to feeling, and in contradiction, if yielded to, with the correct course of banking trade, unless a renewal of the transaction were mutually agreed to upon the basis of a reinforcement to the security before in hand. Still, after all, the exaction of 7 ,per cent for loan on a solid security, or doable the rate charged upon a first dam bill of exchange well endorsed as it may be, does seem an exorbitant charge, and, in the actual circumstances of the money mat let, beyond the fair measure which should be meted out to the commercial ani trading interests. Advises from St. Petersburg to the 28th ult, being six dare later of date than those referred to this mom ing, bring seine further reports touching the affair of M. Plitt and the Salamander Fire Insurance Company. According to the new version, the malversations in the funds of the company, charged upon that indivi dual, took plane at an early period after its formation, so that, in fact, the original board of directors will be held responsible for making the loss goo'!. Of that board M. Plitt was himself a member. The effect of this wzmld be to exonerate the present board, in part at least, from any liability to make good the defalcations. It is stated in some papers, on what au thority does not appear, that M. Plitt himself had been discharged from custody, he having made it ap pear that be had made use of the funds of the office with the full knowledge and consent of his co-directors. The losses su4ained through the failure of M. Plitt in some of the chief mercantile places of Europe are known to be of very heavy amounts in individual hands, and no where more so than in Frankfort, where his signature commanded credit almost bound less. Two houses in that city are named, one of which is compromised to the extent of 200,000 guilders, or say about 17,0001.; the other, having a long established and highly respected branch in this 1 country, to the amount of 40,0001. It is proper to add that the wealthy houses in question are well able to bear losses of a graver amount still without any serious compromise of credit or capital. The l)utch papers contain a notice issued by the Minister of Finance at St. Petersburg, which is of im portance to mercantile interests. It sets forth that reports having been spread abroad about intended changes in the Russian tariff it was proper to state, in order that no interruption or prejudice might be caused to the course of commercial affairs, that no ' alteration was contemplated or would be made in the Russian tariff during the present year, so far as the trade with Europe, whether imports or exports.

LIVERPOOL UNION BANK.—Yeahmilay afternoon the annual general meeting of the pmprietere of the Liverpool Union Bank, was held at the Clutudon 'tomtit Liverpool, for the purpose of receiving the directur.' report, and transact ing the usual business. There was a numerous attendsoce 'of the proprietary.— Edgar Garman, EA., occupied the chair ; and after some introductory remarks called upon Mr. Lister, the manager, who read the report. In the last report it said the directors had expressed a hope to have an increase to the surplus fund from year to year, bat the calamities in which the commercial world had been involved had caused them, instead of adding to the surplus fund, to take from it this year 20,0001. to meet bad debt,, &c. The surplus fund now amounted to 30,0001., and the directors recommended that the rate of dividend in future should be reduced from 8 per cent. to 6 per cent. per annum, till the surplus fund should amount to 60,0001.—hir. Bushell moved the Adoption of the report, and the reduction of the rate of dividend as recommended. The motion was duly seconded, and unanlmou•ly carried.—Mr. Turner and Mr. Chilton were re-appoint. d directors, aril after a gr►nt and vote of thanks to the directors, &c., the nieatintr a.gourned.
