OFFICE OF THE JUDGE OF THE COURT OF ADMIRALTY BILL. This bill was portposed by the LORD CHANCF.LLOR at the request of Lonl CRANWORTIL MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL Lord ST. LEONARDS having presented petitions in favour of this bill, numerously signed by both masters and operatives, proceeded to move its second reading. He stated that he had submitted it to the delegates from 100,000 operatives, by all of whom it was warmly ap proved. The bill did not require any lengthened ex planation, as he had fully explained it on a previous occa sion. One point, however, their lordship, must be re minded of, namely, that being a permissive bill, if it did not do any good, it could not do any harm. (Hear, hear. The object was to establish courts of conciliation for the purpose of settling disputes which might arise between masters and operatives, who would be bound by the de cisions of these courts. The Duke of ARGYLL thought the object of the bill admirable, but lie wished to know how far it enlarged the power of enforcement given by the present law. Lord CRANWORTH objected to the provision in Om bill making any rate of wages settled by the council com pulsory for twelve months. Lord ST. LEONARDS said that he had introduced this provision at the urgent request of both masters and wen. In answer to the noble duke he had to state that the bill took no new powers. The LORD CHANCELLOR said lie had an objection to the title of the bill. It was called "Masters and Opera tives" Bill, but throughout the clauses the word used was " workmen," which was a good and honest Saxon word ; and he would suggest that the word " operatives " in the title should be struck out and " workmen" inserted. Lord ST. LEONARDB was understood to 14 that he would assent to the alteration in committee. The bill was then read a second time. MR. FRANCE'S PAMPHLET. On the motion of Lord CoLviLLE of Cuirass, the fol lowing were appointed the select committee to investigate the charges made by Mr. France in his pamphlet revect ing the noble lord the chairman of committ ees . Th e Lord Steward (the Duke of Marlborough), Earl Spencer, Earl Cathcart, the Blarrpds of Clanricarde, and Lord Taunton. THE BOROUGH FRANCHISE. Lord STRATHEDEN moved, "That in the opinion of this home, in any further scheme to amend the Reform Act of 18 . .12, and increase the body of electors, it is not desirable or necessary that all boroughs should return members by the same qualification." The noble lord said if it was determined to take political power out of the hands of the middle class, his proposal would have the effect of preventing it from falling into the hands of a mere numerical majority. He was in favour of the prin ciple of plurality of voting, but as parliament would not accept that principle it would be necessary, if the lot. qualification was disturbed, to give different qualifications in the same borough. Earl GREY said the whole question deserved serious consideration, but it was highly inconvenient to select one part of it and leave other points of importancenntouched. He hoped the great question of reform would be brought before their lordships at such a time as to afford theni a full opportunity of considering it, and that the govern ment would follow the precedent of 1833, when the ques tion of the abolition of 'Jimmy was discussed in the House of Commons upon resolutions which when agreed to were sent up to the House of Lords. The Earl of DERBY was glad to find that noble lords were anticipating an early opportunity of considering the question of reform, and that the proposal to deal with it by resolutions met with their approvaL With regard to the motion before the house, he declined now to discuss the character or provisions of a bill which had not yet been submitted. He declined to accept Lord Stratheden's description of the bill about to be introduced into the House of Commons. Certainly there was no intention to bring in a bill to which such a character could be applied. He did not think Earl Grey's suggestion could be adopted with advantage, and he believed, from the spirit dis played by the House of Commons, that there was a real desire to arrive at a satisfactory settlement at as early a date as possible. The resolution of Lord Stratheden could not be adopted, as it was merely a negative resolution, which did not advance the subject a single step. Earl RUSSELL admitted that the resolution was vague, but said the same term might be applied to the resolutions about to be submitted to the House of Commons, for after rending them be was at a loss to know what they really meant. Lord REDESDALE remarked that the question was one which affected the constitution of the House of Com mons, who might regard it as a breach of privilege to be asked to send up the resolutions they agreed to before they had framed a bill upon them. „...... . Earl GREY denied that it was a question affecting the privileges of the House of Commons. On the contrary, it was a question that deeply affected the interests of every Englishman. After a few observations from Earl GrtanviLLE the motion was withdrawn. BIRTH OF A PRINCRI..S. The Earl of DERBY gave notice that he should this day move an address of congratulation to her Majesty on the accouchement of the Princess of Wales and the birth of a princess. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY, Flo. 21. The SPLAICER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Central Cornwall Railway (No. 2) Bill, the London and North Western Railway (Lines at Burton-on-Trent) Bill, the Sligo Port and Harbour Bill, the Oaalight and, Coke Company Bill, the Imperial Gas Bill, London City Improvement Rates Bill, and the London City Municipal Elections Bill passed a second reading. The East London Water (Thames Supply) Bill, and the East London Water (Various Powers) Bill having been read a second time, were, on the motion of Mr. AYRTOM, re ferred to a select committee. Mr. Ayrton explained that his object was to enable the opponenta of the bills to give evidence and to be heard by counsel at their own expense. NEW MEMBER. Mr. MORRIN the Attorney-General for Ireland, took the oaths and hia seat on hia re-election for Galway. SUNDAY TRADING. Mr. HUGHES presented a petition from 10,450 inhabi tants of London against Sunday trading. CONDUCT OF THE TROOPS AT WATERFORD. The O'DONOOHUE asked the Secretary of State for War, taking into consideration the alleged conduct of sixteen men of the 12th Lancers who, on the polling day of the election for Waterford, according to the sworn testi mony of the °Meer in command broke away from his con trol, and without orders charged along the quay of Dun garvan, the result being that two persons were killed, one of whom, while standing near the door of hi s h ouse , was stabbed by one of the soldiers with a lance, as ap pears by the reported evidence of the coroner's jury—taking this into consideration, whether he coincides in the opinion expressed by Colonel Sawyer, in his report to the Commander-in-Chief in Ireland, that the conduct of the troops at the late Waterford election was admirable, and that if casualties amongst the people, however much to be regretted, did occur, they were unavoidable ; and whether he considers it necessary there should he a searching inves tigation into the breach of military discipline, resulting in so lamentable a catastrophe. General PEEL had no hesitation in saying, in reply to this question, that if 16 men of the 12th Lancers, on the polling day of the late election for Waterford, broke away from the control of the officer in command, and without orders charged along the quay of Dunprran, he should not coincide in the opinion expressed by Colonel Sawyer, but he should think a searching inquiry necessary. lint he thought he had stated on a formeroccasion that Colonel Sawyer in his official report was borne out by the o ffi cial reports of all the officers in command of detachments, and he would read the report of the offic er commanding the 12th Lancers on the Gene s i °n 'eferred to. The O'DONOGIHUE —Name. General PEEL—As the hon. gentleman hashed the good taste to leave the name of the officer out of his question. he should do the same in his answer. (Hear, heir.) That officer in his report said :—"On crossing the bridge, just before reaching the Court-house, the magistrate requested me to bring some men, and clear the corner of the bridge and a portion of the quay. I was in the act of doing so when a mob inside some iron railings hurled some tremen dous big stones at the men, and the people on the quay did the name. At this period the conduct of some of the rioters, a great body of whom had rushed into the shipping, was so violent that my men were, in some cases, obliged, in self-defence, to offer resistance, and if any casualties have occurred among the mob they were (while much to be regretted) entirely unavoidable, considering the circum stances of the case and the active attack made directly upon the troops. I must add that • cross fire of stones and other miseiles was hurled at the troops as they advanced along the quays. It is the firm opinion of myself and the officers under my command that the proceedings of the rioters were the result of a preconcerted organisation." This officer was asked how he could reconcile the state ments in his official report with those be made before the coroner, when he gave the following reply :—" Permit me to observe that I adhere to the official report. I regret extremely that at the inquest, owing to the cross-examina tion being so entirely different trim what I had expected, the exceedingly puzzling way in which questions were put, and my being always stopped when I was about to explain. I became confused, my presence of mind failed me, and I gave irrelevant answers. For instance, when asked Did not your troops break away from your control r I said ' They did, on that occasion.' whereas 'on that occasion' I was not with them, having left them on the quay to per form the duty the magis:rates had ordered through me." CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. FORDYCE asked the Vice-President of the Council whether, in awarding compensation to the owners of cattle killed before the passing of the Cattle Plague Act, it was the intention of government to include in such compensa tion counties which defrayed such expenses at the time from local funds. Mr. CORRY maid that wherever compensation had been received for slaughtered cattle out of the public rates or other funds raised for the purpose, the government would reduce the amount of compensation it gave by that which the owner of diseased cattle had already received. GRANTS TO MISSIONARIES. Mr. CANDLISH asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies when a return, ordered by the House of Commons on the 7th of June last, "of the names of the several missionaries who participate in the grant this ses sion of 2,013 f., made by parliament to Mirionanes of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel,' the amount paidnF toea each missionary, whergrantgfeacromh is stationed,ment wanodulldlobwe laid upon the table of the house. Mr. ADDEItLEY would lay the return on the table in a few days. . - LANCASTER ELECTION. Colonel W. PATTEN said that, finding the report which he had intended to ask for was now on the table, he begged to ask when it would be printed and circulated amongst members, as the publication of extracts from it was causing much uneasiness. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE replied that this report, as well as the other reports for Reigate, Yarmouth, and Tomes, were all directed to be laid on the table the same day. He believed it was for the officers of the house to see that they were duly circulated, and the matter woe out of his hands. As to the circulation of portions of the Lancaster report he did not know how they were obtained. It was most un desirable that parts of such reports should be so circulated. (Ewa, hear.) HABEAS CORPUS SRSPEZ , TSION (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. Lord NAAS, in moving the second reading of the above bill, redeemed the promise he made on the previous day , to state in detail the circumstances which, in the judg ment of the government, rendered the measure necessary. He justified the insertion in the Queen's sre. ch of the paragraph announcing the intention of the executive not to ask for a renewal of these exceptional powers on the expiration of the act of last year, by the fact that Fe. ninth= in Ireland was then, to all appearances, extinct ; but the truth was, that the leaden in the move ment had carried on their plots in foreign countries. and everywhere except in Ireland itself. Conse quently, it had been impossible to obtain any certain information relative to their designs. Late events, with which the public were familiar, however, had shown that the conspiracy had again reared its head, and that the &Inger had not diminished. He owned that it was with reluctance that he undertook the disagreeable duty of pro posing the suspension of the ordinary law. That reluct ance was not decreased when he found himself called upon to enforce the powers which the act conferred. And it was with equal reluctance, if not loathing, that he had now to perform the irksome duty of proposing a continuance of those powers. He then described the proceedings of the Fenian agents and their recruits, and gave the history of the events which culminated in the recent foolish rising in Kerry. So far as he could learn, he was happy to say that there was no sympathy on the part of the rural population with a conspiracy which sonic persons had represented as being very wide spread. He did not mean to say there was not a great deal of discontent in Ireland, hut it was a noteworthy fact that of the 752 persons arrested under the Lord Lieutenant's warrant in 1m66 for participation in the Fenian movement only 35 were farmers and 20 farmers' sons, whilst there were 29 national schoolmasters. The government did not require a renewal of their present powers for a period longer than was absolutely necessary ; and in order that parliament might during this session have an opportunity of deciding whether their further continuance was advisable, the bill proposed that the act should be renewed for three months only. Sir G. GREY seconded the motion. At the present mo ment he did not think it would promote the peace of the country that government should be without the power which they now asked for. Mr. BAGWELL said he did not rise to oppose the bill, but to complain that the persons who have been arrested were kept in solitary confinement. Mr. BLAKE also disclaimed any intention to oppose the bill, but he hoped that the government would bring in measures to promote the prosperity of the country. He did not think that the Land Bill would do any good. . . . Major KNOX was surprised to hear the bon. member opposite request that the ruffians in custodif he might so call them—should be treated better t han — insolvent debtors. He trusted, however, that that application would not be listened to. He regretted that the government had not proposed the bill fora year, instead of three months— (oh, ohj—for he felt sure that all right-minded people in Ireland regarded it not as an insult, but as a protection. He had lately read that the hoe. member for Birmingham had called a meeting—he (Major Knox) would nut say of what— , and had proposed at that meeting that the country should I buy up estates and resell them to the tenant-farmers ; but be was met by a number of people, who said that they would rather have it for nothing. After that, be trusted the hon. member would not go roving about Ire land, raising expectations which could never be fulfilled. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT—I had no intention of saying a word in this discussion. I can assure the hon. gentleman who has just spoken, and who, I presume, is a member from Ireland, that I shall say nothing to him as to any opinion he may entertain about me, or about what I may have said or done. I rise for the purpose of expressing my astonish ment that there should be one member in this house who defends the course which has been condemned by the hon. member for ClonmeL You arrest men under the existing act merely on suspicion—merely as a precautionary mea sure, at a time when suspicions are common, and when evidence is often very little to be depended upon—and the men who are so arrested are treated, if not with the harsh ness, with the severity which is only shown to criminals who have been convicted. (Cheers.) It appears to me that parliament could never have intended that that treat ment should be applied to persons arrested under the act. (Cheers.) They are not to be punished. The act does not intend that they should be punished. They have not been tried, and it is not the custom in England, it is not tote de fended under the English constitution, that men who have never been tried, and who cannot, therefore, have been convicted or sentenced, shall suffer the severity which seems to commend itself to the feeling and the sense of justice of the hon. gentleman who has just spoken. (Cheers.) After that I am not surprised that the hon. gentleman should complain of the noble lord for not having recommended the house to pars this bill for more than three months. Why, if there be one thing more than another that has given satisfaction on this sad occasion it is that the noble lord was able to say it was better that the bill should only pass for three months, and that he hoped after that time to be able to assure the house that the act was no longer necessary. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman comes here from the country which has suffered all this mischief, and which I sup pose during the lifetime of the oldest member of this house has been periodically before it in the position in which we now find it, complaining—rightly or wrongly—complaining always of injustice, and sub jected always to coercive measures. I certainly had hoped that there would not have been a member from Ireland that would stand up before the parliament of Eng land—before the imperial parliament—and express what I was about to call, and what if I was out of this house I would call, such atrocious sentiments. (C beers and laughter.) Mr. O'BEIRNE did not intend on this occasion to op pose the proposition of the noble lord, but he regretted t., say that the measure recently introduced by the noble lord was considered by hon. members around him as neither more nor less than a delusion. He was glad the noble lord had recognised the services of the Roman catholic bishops and clergy, and he trusted that he would re member those services in the cause of law and order by repealing that degrading statute the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. (Cheers.) Mr. KENNEDY said there were many things in Ireland that were galling to the feelings of the people, but that did not, like the land question, touch their pockets. The peat desideratum was au effective measure on that sub fect—a description which he did not think would apply to the bill of the noble lord. What was absolutely necessary was that there should be something in the nature of security of tenure. (Hear, hear.) The bill was then read a second time. THE METROPOLITAN POOR BILL. The second reading of Mr. Hardy's Metropolitan Poor Bill was preceded by a long conversation, in the course of which Lord Enfield expressed a wann approval of the bill, and indicated several points on which he thought it capable of improvement ; and various details were criti cised by Mr. Locke, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Cham bers, Mr. H. Lewis, Mr. Scourfield, Mr. Hibbert, Mr. Alderman Morrow, and Mr. Villiers in a spirit of general approval. Mr. HARDY promised to take into consideration the numerous suggestions made, and, in replying in detail to various criticisms, he allowed that the consolidated orders of the Board constituted a valuable code fur the management of the poor ; but pointed out that the Board needed greater power to enforce them, not so much that guardians openly resisted them, but too many were in the habit of defeating them by dilatory and shuffling evasions. In answer to Mr. Villiers'. objection that the principle of enlarging the area of rating was not carried far enough, he said he had been actuated by practical considerations alone, with • full foreknowledge that if he had proposed to equalise the rates throughout the whole metropolis, the bill would have been met by • strenuous opposition, which would have been fatal to it. He intimated that he had in preparation a bill for the more equitable assessment of the metropolis, which he would introduce if Mr. Hunt's general bill for that pur pow met with • favourable reception. The bill was then read • second time, and ordered to be committed this day fortnight. The Shipping (Load Dues) Bill was read • second time. The house went into committee, and agreed to formal resolutions on which bills are to be founded upon the sub jects of Trades Unions (Expenses of Witnesses) and THE BISHOP OP EXETER I. MARSHALL. This appeal was partly heard in June last. The ques tion was whether • bishop of the church of England had power to require from • clerk who came to be instituted into • living in his diocese a testunonial from the bishop of the diocese in which he had previously held • living, of his honest conversation, ability, and conformity with the ecclesiastical laws. In 1858 the Rev. Mr. Reid, formerly of St. John's College, (..b.mbridge was presented by Mr. Marshall, the respondent, to the rectory of Tregony with the vicarage of Cuby, in the county of Cornwall and the diocese of Exeter, having previously been rector of Claughton in the diocese of Manchester. He brought to the Bishop of Exeter, the appellant, a testimonial signed by three benefice d in the diocese of Manchester, and countersigned by the bishop of that diocese, who added these words, " The subscribers are beneficed clergymen in the diocese of Manchester. Mr. Reid was long non-resident in my diocese, but I know ' no reason why he should be legally hindered from being allowed to take other duty." The bishop, not considering this testimonial sufficient, refused to institute Mr. Reid, and on the lapse of six months collated another ele to the living. It seemed that charges of simony had been made against Mr. Reid, but that he had denied then. ' truth. Thereupon Mr. Marshall proceeded against the Bishop of Exeter, in the shape of an action of quare im pedit, in the Court of Common Pleas ; and that court de ' tided, upon demurrer, in favour of Mr. IdarahalL After wards, the Court of Exchequer Chamber affirmed the judgment of the Court of Common Picas, on the ground that, under the canons of the church, the Bishop of Exeter had no right to require • testimonial from the bishop of the diocese in which Mr. Reid had formerly held a living. From this decision the Bishop of Exeter appealed, and last session Sir Roundell Palmer, Q.C., was heard in his behalf, his argument extending over two days. Mr. Philpotta, who also appeared for the appellant, was heard to-day, and had not concluded his argument when the time for adjournment arrived. . . The Lord Chancellor said that two of the judges would have to leave town on Monday for the assizes, and their lordships would not like the arguments to go on in the absence of those learned judges. He supposed it would be impossible to bring the arguments to a close to-morrow. Sir H. Collier, Q.C., who with Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Bowen, appeared for the respondent, said he did not think there would be any chance of the arguments termi nating on that day. The further hearing of the case was then postponed until to-morrow. EQUITY COURT.—FZB. 21. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) IN RE THE BRITIHR POI'LTRY PRODUCING CORPANT, LI PASTE NICHOLLS. The above company was formed in 1865, with a capital of 40,00 W., in 10,000 shares, for the purpose, as stated in a prospectus issued in that year, of producing and rearing poultry, and by that means of providing a cheap and nutritious substitute for dear butchers' meat. The pro spectus contemplated the renting of a small farm for this purpose at Kattern Bourn, Shenley, Herts. The pro spectus stated that the company was " to be registered," and that articles of association were to be seen at the company's offices. (These articles were merely Table A of the company's act, 1862, which were afterwards registered.) Having seen this prospectus Mr. John Gough Nicholls, of 2.5, Eaton-place, Brighton, on the Bth of December, applied for thirty shares, which were afterwards allotted to Mtn. On the 28th of December the memorandum of association was registered, which ex tended the objects of the company to "fanning and market gardening." Some calla were made, and Mr. Nicholls was sued for non-payment. He then investigated the matter, and in January of this year discovered this important variation in the objects of the company as registered from those stated in the prospectus. He now moved to hare his name removed from the list of shareholders, on the authority of "Stewart's," and other well known cases. Mr. Everitt and Mr. Lewin appeared for Mr. Nicholls ; Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., and Mr. Owen for the company. The Vice-Chancellor said he was unwilling to apply the harshdesignation of " fraud" to these proceedings, whereby a company constituted for certain objects, and having ob tained public support on that understanding, extended its operations to several other widely different objects. Sonic persons might think it right awl honest to do this. His Honour did not ; and he thought it was never too late for a shareholder who had been thus imposed upon to apply for relief, unless be bad compromised himself by taking profits in the company. Was he to be bound because a number of persona calling themselves directors chose to vary and extend the ,terms of the original contract ' There was no evidence to show that the articles of associa tion were registered at the time when the application for shares was made ; and in any case the prospectus did not say anything about the memorandum which contained the whole ding of the matter. Nor could the articles of luso dation have given a subscriber a hint of what was about to be done by the directors. Mr. Nicholls's name must be re moved from the list of members, and the motion allowed. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.—Fes. 21. After Term Nid Priva sittings at GuildhalL--(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Special Jones.) r. THg CP.EAT NORTHMAN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action for personal injuries. The defen dants admitted their liability and the question was the amount of damages. Several attempts to compromise were made by the defendant's counsel, but without success. Mr. Coleridge, y.C., Mr. Bere, and Mr. Palmer, were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Henry James, were counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff, a single man, 26 years of age, is a gun maker, at Louth, in Lincolnshire, and on the 27th Sep timber, 1566, be was a passenger in an excursion train from that place to London. When they arrived about Spalding-station the train had to be shunted to allow the express train to pass. In doing LO the train came into collision with some empty trucks, by which the plainti ff was violently thrown from side to side, and was half stunned. The injury did not at first appear so serious as it had since proved to be, and he was now suffering from severe depression, and in definite injury to the whole system. He war now much thinner, and his sight and memory were impaired. Tile plaintiff before the accident used to join in various athletic sports, but since then he had been obliged to give them up, and desist from taking his accustomed long walks. An agent called on him from the company, but he declined to entertain any proposition with reference to compensation, and referred him to his solicitor. The plaintiff had become much worse during the last few incatbs. In the coarse of Dr. Leesevidenee the defendant agreed toe verdict for the plaintiff—dainages, 34.1Uf. COURT OF EXCHEQUEF.-FEB. 21. Sittings at Sid Prins, after Hilary Term, at GuildhalL (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Special Juries.) WALTIa r. SIIITH AND OTHERS. This was an action by • surgeon who for many years practised at Woking, in surrey, against the proprietor, of the Lirtrpod ifereurg, to recover damage. for • libel pub lished in that paper on the 12th of May last. Mr. H. Gilfard, Q.C., and Mr. H. James appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. J. 0. (kitties for the .lefeivlants. The libel in question was embodied in a ph which had appeared in the London Morning at two or three days previousl and which was reinserted as copied from that paper. The paragraph purported to give circula tion to rumours afloat an the island of Jersey, to the effect th.it a Captain Handley, • young man, formerly of the Indian navy, and who had died at St. Aubin on the 24th of April last from the effects of drunken habits, had been poisoned by the plaintiff, who was only • pretended doctor, in order to get possession of his victim's property. For these abominable rumours there was not the slightest foundation ; and by the venlict of a coroner's jury upon the 18th of June following, Dr. Walter was en tirely freed from all imputations, and thecsuaes of the deceased's death clearly established. An action having been brought sgainwt the Morniag Post, the proprietor at once as sented to insert in thepaper the must ample epology, and to pay a sum of 2501. in liquidation of the damage done to Dr. Walter by the publication in question. With this Dr. Walter was satisfied, as ha also was by the mere ia• sertion of apologies in certain other papers in which tin paragraph had likewise appeared. The defendants' solicitor, however, on being applied to to accept set. vice of a writ upon the 9th of July, cm. tended himself with expressing Lis willingness to do so ; but, upo n th e 2A t h o f t h e same month, there Appeared in the Mercury a recital of the real truth of the matter, and an acknowledgment that the narrative of the Mormon Post was a tissue of bungles. This, however, did not satisfy the plaintiff, so he proceeded with his action. The counsel fur the defendants did not for one moment attempt to palliate the grossness of the original libel, but rested his defence on the terms of section 2 of the 6th and ith Vict. C. 96, that the publication was without actual malice or gross negligence; that an apology was made at the earliest opportunity, and that 40a. paid into court was. under the circumstances, sufficient to cover the damage inflicted. The jury, however, thought otherwise, and gave s ver• dirt fur the idaintiff--diunages 1:10/. 860, , 1 aTi THE POLICE COURT& MANBION-HOUSE. Yesterday very nearly proved a maiden sitting, for at the opening of the court the whole of the charge•sheetn from the five police districts were blank, and it was be lieved that Mr. Alderman Allen, who sat fur the Lord Mayor, would have been entitled to and have received the usual honorarium of a pair of white kid gloves. This ex pectation was, however, dissipated by the arrival from th e Aldgate district of a wretelied, half-starved Irish 1.1, charged with picking pockets. The case was of the amp mon character, and terminated by the committal of tae delinquent for 21 days' hard labour in the House of C. rection. florid Hart, a Jew fish.dealei, was summoned at tLe instanoe of Mr. Deering, the clerk of Billingsgate mark, for causing an obstruction by placing a trunk or box ,4 haddocks in a part of the market not let out by the antis rities for that purposes. The case was ft roved against the defendant, vl o by his act not only obstructed the footway, but penasul after the boo had been three times removed by one of tb officers of the market, to whom he used the most &bum, and filthy language. Mr. Alderman Allen convicted the defendant in penalty of 10s. and 2s. costa, or in default seven days' in . prisonment. The fine was paid just before the departs, of the van. SOUTHWARK. Nary Welker, whoa few days ago was charged at the court with robbing her master, Mr. Brown, the landlord,: the Royal Mortar, in the London•road, where she bad lx-r. employed three months as barman, was again brought before Mr. Woolrych on another charge. When Mc charged she was in male attire, but now she was dressed in a female convict's suit, provided for her by the govemo: of the county gaol, where her sex was discovered.
