LIVERPOOL ALitrAIN MEWING. - - WEDNESDAY. A more pleasant day than yesterday tempted a larger umber of people up to Aintree to " assist ' in the second ski el Mr. - T • p ttaa's gathering, the near approach of the Liverpoal Cup da also inducing a considerable number of gyprovinoialboo ars to swell the ranks of profesuonals with a view to getting their books " squared up." The card contained seven races to be decided-five over the Ist and two across country-and in the latter a good deal I id / interest was noted, the non-appearance of Shakespeare , giving the Corinthian Hurdle Race a more open character; but Fortanatus, upon whom alight odds were freely laid, won cleverly from his two opponents. For the Sefton Steeple atom eleven runners were weighed out, and the contest proved a close and exciting one, Lord Coventry losing on what may be termed his own ground by a neck. The re miming items do not call for any special remark. During the intervals of racing there was some betting on the Liverpool Cup, the quotations of which will be seen below.

At the second attempt the eleven competitors were despached on pretty equal terms, but in a few strides Meanwood was discernible in front, attended by Crusade, Surney, Woodbine, and Balder, and in this order they took the furze hurdles, hut by the time they reached the water-jump Balder had assumed third place. while Clansman and Sutton had run into more prominent positions, the lest oue being Dispatch. Meanwood went on with the running, but the three next alternately took second place in traversing the fields. The only " spill" which had occurred up to this point was the fall of Clans man, who came to grief near Beecher's Eris-k, in taking which Crusade led slightly in advance. bet he quickly gave way to Meanwood, who held a clear lead of Sprite, Ilanuet, and Balder, who were the only horses virtually left in the race.

The finish was a very severe one, but Sprite out-stayed Lord Coventry's horse, and won a magnificent rice by a neck ; four lengths off, 11,111:1Zet was third ; Sarney, who ran past some beaten horses, was fourth, and Meanwood, with Crusade nutty lengths in his • rear, were next, fifth and sixth.

The meeting at Liverpool being too far distant for many of the professionals, a sufficient number have remained in London to invest the betting with interest and import ance. The favourite for the Liverpool Cup was not so firm to-day as yesterday ; for a time 6to 1 went begging, and even after he had been hacked at that price the same odds were obtainable. Act ea was firm at 7to 1, and in the early part of the day Friday was supported at the same price, but at the close half a point more was offered. De spite the rumoured shiftiness of Nu the longest odds laid against her were 9 to 1, and her friends were apparently satisfied at getting on upon those terms. One spcculator offered to give four against the field for 300/., but there was no response. East Lynne retains a place in the front rank without any tangible cause, 100 to 7 was offered against him, and a well-known commissioner offered to take 15 to 1, but, considering the fineness of the line drawn, it does not say much for the confidence of his mould-be backer. In the course of the day 12 to 1 was taken about Chepstow, and the same price was subsequently offered ; Zia stable companion Caithness would have been supported at 100 to 5, but the highest price offered was 100 to 6. Brick found more layers than takers and he may be returned as friendless at the 'price quoted. Sandal met with a limited amount of support, as did Treasure Trove and Mils Harriette, but the odds of 100 to 4 apt Red Earl /ailed to find a dealer. For the first time since the betting opened Lady Vane's name was mentioned, and the support accorded to her, although limited, appeared to be genuine. There were a few other offers against outsiders, und the subjoined quotations represent the tone of the market at the close : of Matthew Arnold, no bad authority on such mattes, is opinion that there is no country in the world in which so many men are without cultivation as in this land, so devoid of " geist." But in England itself any such notion would be unfounded. I suppose Burns was no scholar, but he was a man of most thorough refinement and cultivation of mind. I suppose Lord Erskine and Mr. Burke would have been a good deal at sea in Greek and Latin, yet it would be difficult to name two men of more thorough and complete cultivation of mind than those two illustrious persons. It would be invidious to mention living men, but there mud occur to every one of us the names of many living persons who are eminent examples of the truth of what I am now saving. All I insist upon is, that there should be some cultivation ; that either by observation of nature or by the study of difficult and abstruse science, or by litera ture or by scholarship—seholarship in the more confined sense—every man who has a sense of what is due from him to the God who has given him his mind, should culti vate the mind that he has received, and should never forget in the duties of the lawyer the more extended duties of the man and the citizen. I think that every man who is proud of his profession, and delights in the exercise of it, will admit the common sense and the justioe of the principle that I am advancing. In every society, in every assembly in this country, a sneer at the rapacity, the vanity, the disputatiousness or the unscrupulousness of men of our profession is certain to meet with too ready acceptation. I am well aware—no man more so—how shallow, how ignorant, how ill-bred a great deal of this is, but, nevertheless, I am afraid it must be admitted that there is some ground of truth at the bottom of it, for there almost always is in any impression that is so deeply rooted and so universal as this. A wise, calm, and very great man, Mr. Wordsworth, in one of his most famous poems has pointed his finger at us with a fierce scorn which is entirely out of character with the or dinary tone of his writings : A lawyer art thou : come not nigh. Go, carry to some fitter place The keenness of that practised eye, The hardness of that sallow face. (A laugh.) To a proud and sensitive man this is a wound ing and humiliating state of thing. ; and I think that you must admit that it is the duty of every one of us, as far as we can, to diminish its muses, if there are any real causes for its existence. (Applause.) I have the best mains of knowing that great lawyers may be men of stain less honour and of spotless purity of mind. They may also be men of the greatest and highest cultivation, and It is much for the interest of the country that they should be so. To you, gentlemen—not, perhaps, at the present mo ment, but by and bye,when you become attorneys—to you more than to any other ease of men in the world it belongs to help in clearing away this prejudice ; and if you agree with me, I hope that you will steadfastly resolve to do it, and that what you have resolved you will steadfastly do. It is not much, perhaps, that any one of us can do by our selves, but the result of the efforts of all of us, if each of us does his best, will be by no means contemptible. And what nobler act can be presented to any man to perform than to aid in wiping off the stains which at present dim the fame and the honour of a great profession, founded on the necessities of human nature, consecrated by many a memory of tyranny arrested, of innocence protected, of jstice vindicated, and containing amongst its mem bers a roll of great and goal men whose names and whose works were the'glory of their own times, and have been the delight of the ages that have followed. The hon. and learned gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and protracted applause, and almost immediately rose and presented to Mr. F. W. Drummond a copy of the works of M`Cullech, given by Mr. E. F. Davis, as the prize for the best essay upon the subject of capital punish ment. The discussion of the evening was then proceeded with, the resolution proposed by the opener being :—" That the responsibility for any libellous matter contained in a cor rectly quoted paragraph (when the authority is given) or in an accurate report of a public meeting, should not (unless malice in fact be proved) rest with the proprietor, printer, or publisher of any newspaper or other periodical publication so quoting or reporting, but with the origi nator of inch libellous matter alone." This proposition was supported by Messrs. P. W. Drummond, H. E. May, and H. E. Stenning ; and was opposed by Messrs. J. it. Collins, W. Woodall, and W. S. Prideaux. The former gentlemen contended that the change of law which they recommended was essential to the complete freedom of the press, and was the necessary complement of the measures for the liberation of that valuable institution which had been passed during the present century ; while their antagonists maintained that it would favour not liberty but license, and would deprive persons who might be the subjects of libels of the redress which the law was bound to afford them. The young gentlemen who took part in the discussion were pretty equally matched as to oratorical abilities, but in the end the meeting pronounced by an overwhelming majority against the proposition. Thanks were then voted to Mr. K F. Davis for his annual prize for the best English C.IIIIIT ; and the proceed ings terminated with a similar compliment to Mr. Cole ridge for presiding upon this occasion, fur which the hon. and learned gentleman briefly returned thanks. The third inauguration meeting of this society was held last evening in the great hall of King's College, Strand. Mr. J. D. Coegartme, Q.C., M.P., one of the vete-presidents, took the chair, and there was a good at tendance of members of the society and their friends, among whom were a small sprinkling of ladies. Some formal business having been performed, Mr. J. D. Coteau:mg, who was received with loud ap plause, rose to deliver an inaugural address. He said—l thank you very much for the kind and cordial recep tion which you have accorded to me, but I cannot say that it at all diminishes the reluctance with which I occupy this chair to-night. It is not that I am afraid of the over-turbulence of your debate. lam not afraid that I shall not have sufficient capacity to sit in this chair, to listen to the interesting speeches which will be delivered, and to put the question at the conclusion of the discussion ; but I understand you to desire that I should address to you a few observations upon points con nected with our common profession, with regard to which I may be enabled to give any advice ; and it is only the simple truth to say that I approach this part of my duty with very great reluctance. For in truth my professional life has been led so very much by chance, from day to day, with so little preconceived plan or settled object about it, my experience has been so little reflected on, or brought into anything like order, and my partial success, moderate and partial as it is, has been so unexpected, and is still so entirely unintelligible to myself, that I really have no results of toy own experience to lay before you, and no precepts which I can give you as the outcome of my personal recollection. Yet I know that if I speak upon these subjects at all it will be supposed, in spite of any protest that I may make, that I am speaking from nay own experience, and that I am laying before you some thing in the way of personal example. I assure you it is not so, and with this simple and short, but earnest dis claimer, I proceed to climb. , g e as best I can that part of my duty 'Minh Iso sincerely wish I could avoid discharg ing altogether. With regard to your professional educa tion I can tell yon nothing, because I do not profess to understand the subject. I did not, as is the case with many barristers, peas any time I ns, end, attorney's office as part of my preparation for the bar, and, therefore, except as far as common sense and experience, and some little familiarity with briefs may be supposed to give it me, I have no practical experience of the working of the details of an attorney's office ; and, indeed, I suppose that to most sensible men advice about purely professional education may be comprised in the simple and obvious precepts, Make yourselves thoroughly masters of your work ; never suppose that you are above your work ; never suppose that your work is below you, or that you condescend to do it as a matter of grace, which is sure i to end in slovenliness and in negligence." (Applause.) Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well, and as an attorney's work, beyond the work of almost any other man, is important not only to himself but to other people. a sense of solemn responsibility ought to come in aid of the sense of self-respect, and you ought to be anxious to do your duty thoroughly, not merely because it is the calling in life that you have selected, but from a sense of duty to your clents. This must be sufficient advice to every reflecting man, and that poor pretender to gentility who affects to depreciate and look down upon the profession be is to live by, can excite, and ought to excite in every mind no sentiment but that of disdainful pity. (Applause.) He is the truest gentlemen, as well as the best attorney, who thinks no detail too small and no labour too great which may enable him to become master of the profession which he has selected as his calling in life. (Cheers.) With regard, therefore, to your purely professional education and life I have little or nothing to say. I assume, of course, that you have done your best to make yourselves masters of our few ---I wish, for the sake of jurisprudence, there were more— of our few great text writers ; that you have tried to present clearly to your minds the outlines and principles at least of law and equity, of the law of real property, and the law of conveyancing as applied to real property, of insurance, of contract, of easements, and of the poor law and criminal law ; but what I want to insist upon to-night is that it is of the greatest importance to yourselves and to society at large that you 'amulet be more than mere lawyers, more even thau well-intentioned and honourable practitioners. I assume that you will be, or will try to be, all this, but you ought, in my opinion, to be a great deal more. It is important for yourselves, because it very seldom happens that a men without wide end general cul tivation can attain the first place in a liberal profession : and if he does attain the first place by force of mind, by audacity, or by methods even less creditable, many ex amples sufficiently show that he often discredits the emi nence to which he has attained, and for which everybody except himself sees that be is totally unfit. Ido not mean to say that cultivation will do alone. I know perfectly well that it will not ; but I do say that it makes success greater ; that it gilds, as it were, the laurel of the conqueror, anti that it pours some precious drops of consolation into the cup which many of the defeated have to drain. (Applause.) I cannot side- THE WRECK OF THE LIONSTANTIA. The qustely express the strength of my feeling upon this Board of Trade have been holding an investigation matter.

The plaintiff in this CAW was the pnblie ollioer of the Union Bank, and he sued to recover bOOl., which it was said hadbeen advanoed to Lord Ebury and four other gentle men who were directors of the Rickmansworth, Amenham, and Cheshunt Railway Company. At the trial before Mr. Justice Winos the jury found for the plaintiff. Dir. J. Browne, Q.C., now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the defendants, and stated that the mosey was borrowed during the formation of the company, and upon the condition that it should be paid out of mils. Re con tended that this condition exonerated the defendants from personal liability, and further that the company, when formed, having ratified what the defendants had done, had taken the burden off their shoulders. Buis panto& Sittings at Nisi Prins in Mi4dlesex—(Before Mr. Jturtioe Smith and a Common Jury.) THZ JURY. • In the course of the day the business of the court was delayed for some time for want of jurors. It happened that twelve gentlemen had been excused for the day, twelve were considering a verdict, and only ten could be found to form a fresh jury. Recourse was had to the other courts, but one had risen, and in the other the jurors bad been discharged. His lordship under these circum stances fined the jurymen who were absent without excuse, 40s. each, and called upon bystanders to make up the number. One or two persons were asked if they were householders in Middlesex, but they said. " No," and it was then asked if there were any Middlesex householders in court, and the'absence of an affirmative answer excited a good deal of laughter. His Lordship said he was sorry to find that there was so little interest m the administration of public justice. One or two professional gentlemen who were in court volunteered to serve, and • full jury was made up and business proceeded. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 7. Sittings aneo.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, Charmell, and Pigott.) YEAR e. WARD. This was an action to recover 12/. 10s., the amount of calls on ten shares in the Joint-Stock Discount Company (Limited), which is now under process of being wound up in the Court of Chancery. The trial took place before the late Lord Chief Baron at Guildhall, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, leave being given to the defen dant to move to enter a nonimit. Mr. Rigby Seymour, Q.C., now moved accordingly. The plaintiff bad sold the shares in the market to the defen dant, and the deed of transfer was duly executed, but in consequence of the transfer books having been c l o sed, the defendant was unable to get it registered. The plaintiff subsequently, upon a notice front the official liquidator, had to pay a call upon the shares, and by this action he sought to recover back the amount. The question was whether under these circumstances the action was main tainable. The court granted a rule nisi. Delis Y. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action by . the widow and executrix of a man who was crushed to death against a wall by a waggon driven by one of the defendants' servants. It was tried at Stafford before Mr. Justice Keating, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 400/. Mr. Huddlestou, Q.C., now, in pursuance of leave re served, moved to enter a nonsuit, or for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence, and of misdirection. It appeared that the accident occurred at night, in a private road, along which the defendants' ser vant had taken the waggon, to avoid a longer route by the public highway, and the question was whether there was any contributory negligence on the part of the deceased. The court was unanimously of opinion that there was no contributory negligence, and that the verdict was a very proper one, and ought not to be disturbed. WHITEHOUSE r. MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. This case involved a point of some importance to rail way travellers. The plaintiff, a commercial traveller, took a railway ticket at Wakefield for Sheffield, and the train was rather late when it arrived at Masboro' Junction, where he had to enter another train in order to reach his destination. A porter took up his portmanteau and asked him to follow him across the line. The plaintiff did so, and when he got on the opposite platform the Sheffield train began to move out of the station. The porter opened the door of a carriage and asked him to jump in. The plaintiff put his foot on the step and attempt ed to enter, but in doing so was thrown backwards and severely injured. He then brought his action against the company, anti Mr. Justice Keating, before whom the trial came at I Stafford, directed a nonsuit, but reserved leave to the plaintiff to move this court. Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C., now moved accordingly to set aside the noneuit and enter a verdict for the plaintiff. Ho admitted there was a bye-law against the servants of the company opening the door of a carriage while it was in itiutiuu, but. contended that as the porter was actin in the course of his duty in opening the door and telling the plaintiff to enter, the fact of his disobeying the bye-law in the manner of his doing it did not exonerate his employers. The porter was the best judge whether it was dangerous or not for the plaintiff to enter. and there was no negli gence on the part of the plaintiff in obeying his directions. The Lord Chief Ilaron was clearly of opinion that it was negligence to enter a carriage under the circumstances stated, and that the negligence in this case was entiiely and exclusively that of the plaintiff. It was true the plaintiff took the advice of the porter instead of exercising his own judgment, but he alone was responsible for the consequences. Mr. Baron Bramwell said if the plaintiff bad in falling down injured any of the property of the railway company, it was clear to his mind that they would have had a right of action against him. Rule refused. THE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN THE HAMPSTEAD-I:0AD. cr bona& Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, Coroner . Central Middlesex, held an investigation at Universi College Hospital on the bodies of three children who we suffocated by the smoke from a fire which broke out on th. premises of Mr. Jacob Lazarus, clothier, of 44 Hampstead road, on the night of Monday l ast. The panel were sworn as to the deaths of Emmani Lazarus, aged 1U; Miriam Lazarus, aged 8 ; and Sopl Lazarus, aged 6 years. The deepest interest was attacl to the prucuedings, and the specious board room in wt the Coroner's Court was held was crowded during inquiry. Neither of die bodice of the poor children wei any way burnt by the action of the fire, but lay side by. with a placid look as if in a sound sleep. Mr. Solomon', solicitor, attended to watch the case behalf of the parents of the deceased children. Mr. Jacob Lazarus, the father of the deceased, was f examined, and appeared in a most dejected and proof condition. He sail—My residence up to Monday last 44, Hampstead-road. The children whose bodies have I viewed by the jury are my children. I left home shi after nine o'clock on Monday night. All the children then in bed. I left them in charge of the housemaid the nurse. I did not leave any unusual directions aboi gas, or fire, or anything. I returned a little before elev o clock and found the house was burned. I heard ' children were out of the house, and that three of them at the hospital. I came here and found them dead. answer to the coroner the witness said, I have nu one blame as far as the fire is concerned, but I think better arrangements the children's lives might hove . saved. I consider had the 'whoa given more pr lege to those who knew the house, my two girls nag) have been saved. I cannot suggest anything at present to the origin of the fire. Before I left I saw all the turned off in the shop. I left the house gas burning. The. is one gas meter for the shop and another for the house. The gas was not turned off from either meter. Ann Wardell—l was a domestic servant in the ems of Mr. Lazarus, and lived at 44, Hampstead-ro ad. Monday night ;hoot half-past 9 I was in the kitchen I beard a knocking at the shutters. I went to the ... and a man said the place was on fire. The other serval came with me with the child, which is a year and eigl months old. She gave the child to me, and I gave it to person that was passing. The policeman would not let 11 re-enter the house. I saw the fire was in the shop windre Two of the children were sleeping on the first floor, the deceased Emmanuel slept on the third floor. slept on the second boor. By Mr. Soloman—When I gave the child up to woman in the street there was ample time had I 1 allowed to return into the house by the police, to ass dozen children ! (Sensation.) The fire was then oaf the shop window. I opened the street door myself. I was no policeman at thedoor when I opened it. As I out the policeman came up, and he must have seen come out of the house. I was not three steps fror door when I parted from the child. I called out policeman, " There are live children upstairs, let MI them." The policeman said," No." I said, " Then go self if you won't let me." He did not go or move. people outside pulled me back. I tried hard to get and they pulled my dress to pieces. The fire-escapee not come up for a quarter of an hour afterwards. Durn that time the people held me beck,and noone went int , house. By a Juror—A great many respectable people ashen police to allow them to go in and rescue the children, but they refused. An inspector said he would produce all the police who were on the spot et the time. Some of the jury considered it most essential that the police should be produced and identified. The Coroner observed that it would appear that the police in such cases attached more importance to the protection of property than that of life. He proposed after hearing another witness to adjourn the inquiry, so that all the evidence which it was possible to produce should be obtained. He had opened the inquest thus early in deference to the feelings of the parents, in order that they might inter the bodies. Fanny Best, the nursemaid, confirmed the evidence of her fell°. -servant. Cornelius Reading—l am a plasterer, and reside at 4, Marley-place, Hampstead-road. I knocked at the shutters about hat-past 9 on Monday night, seeing the shop was on fire. I saw the servant come to the door. She said the children were at the top of the house. I rushed up to the top floor, and found one child in bed by itself. I wrapped it up and brought it down, and passed the first floor, but did not know there were any children there. I went up again to the top floor, and found another child, which I brought down and took to a haberdasher's oppo site. I went back, sad then found two constables at the door. They asked me if I belonged to the house, and I said "No ;" and they said they could not admit me. I told them I had fetched two children out, and I had heard there were more upstairs; but still they refused. I went across to the haberdasher, and asked him to come with me and beg the constables to allow ore to enter, but he did not do so. By Mr. Solomon—ln my opinion there was plimsty of time to have lived all the ehilires, and more too, when the polies refused me admiesion. It wee six or eight minutes after this that the first firemmape arrived.

The part of the libel they complained of was that which stated that they had lost all their reserve fund. He was prepared to prove that, so far as the reserve fund was concerned, net one penny of it bad been tonohed, and the assertion that they had loot all their reserve fund was the sting of the libel. The,' would not have cared for the term " nig gardly " being applied to them, nor would they have cared for the term " badly managed," but the charge that they had lost all their reserve fund was such a various affair that they moat strenuously objected to the statement going uncontradicted. The fact was that, at the present mo ment, they were possessed of • reserve fund of 158,000 f. He understood that the defendant had, in the last num ber of his publication, abandoned that assertion, and ad mitted that he bad made a mistake in it, and that the al lusion to the reserve fund wu an error, but still the ac knowledgment was so unsatisfactory that he could not ac cept it as an apology. Alderman Cotton regretted that an ample apology had not been tendered, but hoped that explanation would go forth to the public in order to do justice to the Queen In surance Company. The 1111111110/11 was then adjourned. BOW-STREET. Joseph Gregory, • tall, thin, haggard-looking man, dirty, ragged, and barefoot, was brought up on remand charged with violently assaulting a delicate-looking boy of 14 years of age, named Albert Keeley, the son of a shoemaker, liv ing in Noel-street, Oxford-street. The prisoner was most fantastically dressed, with haybands bound about his body, and heaped up on his back, to present the appearance of a hump. Over this he had some pieces of canvas, he., dis posed so as to make a sort of patchwork coat. A rope of straw was twisted round his throat as a sort of neck ee, and his face was blackened, apparently with soot. In this guise the prisoner had been rambling about the streets in a state of semi-intoxication, dancing about, beating a frying-pan with • stick, and asking for coppers. This was described by one of the witnesses as' amusing the public." Another witness took a more serious view of it, saying that the prisoner demanded money of him, flourish ing the frying-pan in his face in such a manner that he became really alarmed. A considerable crowd was assem bled, and the complainant, who happened to be passing, paused a moment to see " what was the matter." At that moment the prisoner, who had gone into a public-house to ask for money, came out, brandishing his frying-pan. The crowd scattered before him, and the complainant, amongst others, ran away. The prisoner sprang after him, overtook him in two or three steps, and struck him on the side of the head with the frying-pan so vio lently that it was broken from the handle. The boy became insensible, staggered, and would have fallen, but that he was caught by a bystander. The wound bled profusely. A plumber, named Melville, who witnessed the assault, took the boy to the hospital to have thr wound dressed. It was about two inches in length, but did not go to the bone, the force of the blow having been partly mitigated by comphinant's cloth cap, which the surgeon remarked was a very thick one, or the consequences might have been more serious. Another passenger, Richard Morley, • writer, gave the prisoner in charge to Police-constable Cash, 97 I', and went to the etation house for further assistance. He observed that he had seen the complainant before the occurrence, and the pool child was so altered in appearance as to be hardly recog nisable. He was frightfully pallid from the loss of blood. As he seemed utterly unable to give his evidence, tt , prisoner was remanded. The complainant now seemed much better, and gave his evidence very clearly. The prisoner said he was pelted with stones and cabbagi stumps by a number of boys, of whom the complainant was one. All the witnesses denied this. Complainant did not say or do anything to him, lie had only just come up and briefly paused an instant upon reaching the crowd, when the prisoner came out of the public-house, and rushed r him. None of them had seen any stones or other missil thrown at the prisoner, or any annoyance offered to his There was with him another man, who, however, had thought proper to come forward on behalf of his mate. Mr. Vaughan said as the boy was over fourteen years age, he bad no power to inflict any adequate punishment He should, therefore, commit the prisoner for triaL *4 THE Expit .

DIANSION-110 . tit , :;E.. rharlrs Mayentk, a gentlemanly looking young man, I was brought up in charge of Sergeant Foulger, the detec tive officer, for further examination upon the charge of 1 embezzling various sums of money belonging to his em ployers, Messrs. Fourdrinier and Co., wholesale stationers, of Sherborne-lane. Mr. Richardson conducted the prosecution. The facts of this case have already appeared. The pri soner had been for some years in the service of the prosecu tors as collector and town traveller, and great confidence was reposed in him. It was recently discovered, how ever, that be had abused that confidence, and had received several sums of money which he bad not accounted for. When he was taken into custody by Foulger he appeared very much affected, and exclaimed that it was the bitterest day of his life, and added " drink and betting have brought me to this." On the first examination it was proved that the prisoner had received a sum of 51. 12s. from one of the prosecutors' customers, named Palmer, and yesterday additional evidence was adduced to show that he had received two other sums of 111. 17s. and t,/. Ids., and that he had not accounted for any portion of theae amounts. The prisoner, when called upon in the usual form, replied that he had nithing to say in answer to the charge. Alderman Lusk, MY., who presided in the Asence of the Lord Mayor, said it was really quite painful to be called upon, as he bad been so frequently lately, to send respectable gentlemanly young men for trial for robbing their employers, drink and betting being almost always the causes of their committing the crime. In the present instance the offence, however, was clearly established, and he must go to the Central Criminal Court to take his trial. /lurid Benjamin, a Jew, was brought up by Charles Brown, a City detective, on remand, for further examina tion on the charge of assaulting and robbing a gentleman named Coxwell, in Cannon-street, of two ICC notes, a Si. note, and six sovereigns. The robbery in question, it will be remembered, was committed on the night of the 24th of April last, and the prosecutor received a good deal of injury. The prisoner was suspected at the time, but he absconded, and did not return to London until recently, when Brown, the officer, from information be received, apprehended him in Petti coat-lane. Additional evidence was now adduced to show that the prisoner was seen to throw the prosecutor down and run away, at the time the robbery was committed. Mr. Agar, the principal warder of the City prison, at Holloway, stated that the pr souse had been seven times confined in that prison, twice for picking pockets and once for highway robbery with violence. The prosecutor stated that he was about to go to America, and wished the alderman to deal summarily with the prisoner. iblerman Lusk said that be bad not the power to do so, and if he bad he certainly should not exercise it in a case like the present. Winter was now fast approaching, and the public who had to traverse the streets at night must be protected from outrages of this description. The prisoner was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Mr. John Irring Sergi, the editor of the Reporter news paper, and Andrew Wilton, the publisher, were summoned before Alderman Cotton for printing and publishing a defamatory libel of and concerning the Queen Life Assur ance Company. The complainant was Mr. John Elphio Leyland, the secretary of the said company. When the summonses were called on, it was stated to the alderman that Wilton had gone to Australia, and that Mr. Scott was unable to attend. Alderman Cotton said that on the lad occasion when the case was before him be had hoped that an apology I would hare been offered and accepted by Mr. Leyland, but as that had not been done, he should allow Mr. Edwards (the solicitor to the company) to make a state ment in contradiction of the libel, and then adjourn the h • until Mr. Scott was able to attend. Mr. Edwards said he wished to make a general denial of the libel of which he complained. It was contained in an article in the number of the Reporter of tbe Ilith October, 1966.
