LAW INTELLIGENCE. (TILLS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Mai Prins ia Middlwx.—(Before Lard Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) ERWIN V. SIR 01:011GN ORET.—ACTION TOR NOT PREINNTING A PETMON or RIGHT. The plaintiff in this case, George O'lfalley Irwin, by his declaration, complained that the Home Secretary had re fused to l ay before the Queen a petition of right, and for this refu...al he claimed damages 100,0001. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The plaintiff appeared in person, and the Attorney-Ge neral and Mr. T. Jones represented the defendant. The plaintiff addressed the jury, informing them that the action was bmught under the Common Law Procedure Act, 1864,and the Bill of Rights Act of 1860, commonly known as Mr. Boyars Act, and the petition of right in question prayed for a jury for the purpose of enforcing an award made by the present Lord Westbury some four years ago. He also detailed the history of his affairs for many years past, and the state of the law previous and subsequent to Mr. Bovill's Act. In the course of the address Lord Palmerston and the Lord Chancellor took their seat* upon the bench. Sir (i. C. Lewis, Mr. W►lpole, Mr. Wa ddi ngtoo, and other official gentlemen, were also in court. Mr. Irwin bad not concluded his speech when our report left. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BARNARD o BURROUGHB.—PART-HRARD. This morning the trial was resumed and additional evi dence was give° on behalf of the plaintiff, who contested the will of Miss Jemims Bradley. The deceased was an aged penal who had former] , y lived as servant in a gentleman's family, and had a fortune of about 700 f. She died in January, 1861, at the house of the defendant, with whom she was lodging and to whom she had left the bulk of her property. The plaintiff was a nieoe of the testatrix. The case was still proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commiegoaer C.oulburn.) IN RE STILL AND STILL. TEE coNN ISSIONER . B REELS TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR. This case wu before the Lord Chancellor yesterday on appeal from an order of this court directing • prosecution, and adjourning the examination of the bankrupts sine die ; and his honour now made the following statement in refer ence to some remarks which were reported to have fallen from the Lord Chancellor respecting the appointment of managers : Th;Cornmiasioner—Mr. Reed, observing you now present I wish to refer to • c•se which inui before the Lord Chancellor on appeal yesterday—the case of "Still and Still." In that ease it is stated that • manager had been appointed; and upon the Lord Chancellor asking "who appointed the manager!" the learned counsel answered "the commissioner." Now, I beg to say that that is • perfect mistake ; it is untrue, in fact. I won't say untrue, but it is without the least foundation. I never beard that a manager had been appointed. I knew nothing of it ; and therefore I wish to set the matter right. I h►d nothing to do with the appointment whatever. The appointment, if made at all, was made tinder the 122nd section of the last act of parliament, which allows the creditors to make such an appointment. The latter part of that clause says , :— ' At the same meeting, or at any other meeting called for the purpose, the majority in value of the creditors present may also determine whether a manager shall be appointed to collect and wind up the estate, under the inspection of the creditors' assignee, or of • committee of creditors, and may appoint such person, with such rumuneration out of the estate, and generally upon such terms, for such period. and with such directions, u the majority shall think fit." Now, I knew nothing of an appointment here. I never heard of it ; it was never mentioned to me in any of the pro °pedicure ; and I could not therefore sanction it. I had nothing to do with it ; and the statement that I made such an appointment is untrue and without foundation. Probably it was made in mistake. It may be supposed that the learned counsel referred to the appointment of Mr. Hart, the account ant, which depends, as Mr. Reed knows, upon another section of the act—a section which provides that on its being certified to the court that there are special circumstances in any case which render it necessary that the official assignee should have the assistance of an accountant, the court, with the sanction of the creditors, may appoint one. I dad that in this case, with the sanction of everybody concerned, in cluding Mr. Reed ; and it is quite clear that that appointment was not without its use—Mr. Hart's report being extremely dear, and making • very compli cated ease exceedingly clear ; indeed, 1 believe the Lord Chancellor referred to it all through the case as I did. I am exceedingly glad that that appointment was made, and 1 sin sure that the creditors and the assignees have both derived the greatest assistance from Mr. Hart's report. I only wish positively to contradict the statement u to the appointment of manager. It was unknown to me. I knew nothing whatever of it. Mr. Itud (the solicitor to the assignees)—Perhape your honour will allow me to say that the appointment of manager takes place at a meeting which is not a sitting of the court, but a meeting of creditors held before the regis trar. The Commissioner—Quite so. Mr. Reed—The appointment is with the creditors alone ; the court has no power over it ; and though I have known instances where the creditors have Leen unanimous as to the appointment of assignees, they have differed as to the appointment of manager ; and I have known contests as to the appointment of manager under the new act. The court has no power ; the assignees have no power ; and if the creditors choose to appoint a manager who is disagreeable to the assignees, the only remedy they have is to resign their o ffi ce. And I am not aware that t he court has any power to remove a manager. 1 should mention that Mr. Bacon's error was corrected in the court, but unfortunately the correction is not noticed in the report. The Lord Chancellor was in formed that the creditors alone are the parties who have power to appoint a manager. The Commissioner—The Chancellor is made to found the remark upon another, which in any case where you are concerned would be a siogular one—that the appointment had been made with a view to increase costa. Had he known as much of these courts as we do, he would have known that any such remark direct*, d to any case where you were concerned for the assignees was altogether min placed• Mr. Reed—The appointment aigned by the creditors Lion the tile. The Commissioner—Not signed by me. Mr. Reed—Oh, DO ; signed by the creditors. The Commissioner —The Chancellor does not seem to be aware that the creditors have this power of appointment. He asks, " Who is the manager° What is he" The 1220 d section of the new ant calls him into existence. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKENWELL. A PRISO:E PREFERABLE TO A WORKHOUSE. Mary Staniar/4 aged G 4, who described herself as tramp, was charged with wilfully destroying eight rags at St. Andrew's workhouse. Gray's-inmlane, the property of the guardians of the Holborn Union. John, Gunn, porter at the onion, stated that no Mon day night the prisoner applied for a night's lodging, and she was admitted. She bad her supper and went to bed. The next morning he was informed that she had destroyed all her clothing. For that she was not punished, for it was intended to give her fresh ones and start her about Ler busioiss on Wednesday. She was in bed all day on Tuesday, and yesterday morning he wan in. formed that she had destroyed all the rugs in the ward. On asking her what induced her to commit so foolish an act, she stated that she was determined to be taken before a magistrate, for there she was certain of getting justice, and that was more than she ever had had or ever should get at a workhouse. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said she pre ferred a prison to a workhouse, for in the prison a person was better fed, clothed, and looked after than in the unions. She was well aware that it was a great sin to be poor, and that was the reason why the poor were treated worse than dogs. She tore her clothes because they were ragged and filthy, and the rags because the workhouse authorities kept her in a cold place, and intended to do so until Saturday. When she was admitted she was wet to the skin, and she bad not been warm since ; io fact, her blood was chilled, and she did think it a great hardship that she was not put into a warm place. i:unn said the place was warm. She bad a clean flock bed to lie on, and two warm rugs to cover her. The Magi strate said that the prisoner, for the wilful da mage, might be sent to the House of Correction for two ca lendar months. He should now send her to prison for a month. Prisoner—l should be pleased if you would send me for the full term, for in a prison you are treated like Christians, but in a workhouse like dogs. I shall now be well fed and kept clean, and that is more than a romper can may. VIOLENT OUTRAGE OX A BOY. Cook, 13, as e;;;;Ic giry,ress Queen -street, Hamentone, was charged with violently . vaulting Walter Beckerenn with a stick, whereby his life is in danger. Pnliceoergeant Crisp, 3 N, handed in the following me dical certificate: " 21, Nelson-terrace, Stoke Newington. " I beg to certify that Master Walter Beckenon is at tended by me, suffering from fracture of the skull, and his life is in danger. "does Suns; M.R.C.S. " bac. 4, 1t12." Miss Beckerson said that o• Tuesday afternoon she was proceeding home from school, when the prisoner attempted to strike her with a abort stick, which was loaded at the end. She fell, and then the prisoner ma after her brother and struck him on the back of the head. The prisoner also tried to strike her other sister. Her brother went home, and became delirious. He is now sometimes stupid, and some times unable to speak. He is in • very dangerous state. THE EXPRESS, T.u.tmiSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1862. The prisoner said he did not intend to hurt Neater Beckerson. Mr. WEyncotut inquired if any provocation wu given to the prisoner to cause him to commit the assault ? Miss Beckerson replied in the negative. Mr. D'Eynceurt remanded the prisoner for a week, but consented to take good bail. The prisoner was locked up in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CAB PROPRIETOR CHARGED WITH RIDZIVINO Brom CORN. Robert Smith, in the employ of Mr. Gilbert Charles Northcote, a City gentleman, was charged with 'Waling some corn, the property of r. Henry South, livery-stable keeper, of Queen-street, Cheapside • and Wm. Newton, • cab proprietor, of Pimlico , was charged with receiving the same with • guilty knowledge. Mr. Wm. D. Smyth defended Newton. The prisoners were watched on two or three occasions by Dawson, 301 A, and Butcher, 137 C, and Newton was seen buying corn of Smith which had been given him to supply the horse belonging to Mr. Northcote. The case having been gone into, Mr. Knox said it was • oleos of theft of a very serious nature, borzoi being starved in order that the persons steal ing the corn might get some paltry gain out of it. In this case the proper food was supplied, and the horse deprived of it, and the well-being of an animal of considerable value concerned. He should commit both prisoners for trial. Mr. Smyth applied that bail might be taken for Newton, 16 but Mr. Knox refused. 10 WESTMINSTER. kt. ASSAULTING AND WOUNDING. John Conway was placed at th e bar, charged with a ssa ult- EC le Mg and wounding his wife with a hatchet. 1 0 Mary Conway, the wife, whose arm was bandaged, said 10 that she lived in Cooper's-court, Dame-street, Westminster. AO On her coming home yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, she 26 found the defendant intoxicated, and some words cone- t• quently occurred between them. After abasing her he i tt. seized • hatchet, and wounded her with it in the arm. gq Mr. Paynter—Did you lose much blood? St Prosecutrix—l bled very much. But I have 'not come 81. here for any punishment of him—l want to have . an oppor St - tuoity of getting my own living without him, and not to ". be ill-used by him. et. Defendant said she had beat him. at. Mr. Pay nter said he must remand him, to have an op portnnity of seeing how her wound progressed. et.

SIIRIOIIN FIRPIS.—(Tmg DAY.)—This morning, about 3 o'clock, • fire broke out in the principal part of the High-street, Homerton. The premises in which the disaster commenced formed three houses, and were numbered 3, 4 and 5, and were in the tenure of Mr. J. Hayward a wholesale and retail grocer and cbeeeemonger . T he inmates all made for the back windows, and fortunately, with assistance, managed to reach the street without receiving any serious injury. At one time it was feared that not only the entire range of premises belonging to Mr. Hayward were doomed to be de stroyed. but also that those on either side would be levelled. The firemen succeeded in partially wing the premises of Mr. Cressy and those of Mr. Crowther, but were unable to get the Humes extinguished until the three houses belonging to Mr. J. Hayward were totally destroyed, and the contents, including stock in trade, fixtures, and other effects were consumed. Mr. Hayward was insured in the Royal, and Mr. Cressy in the Imperial, but it is unknown whether or not Mr. Crowther was insured. A fire also happened in the premises of Mr. Thomas Hill, • confectioner, No. 24, Raker's-row, Whitechapel, but owing to the timely arrival of assistance, the diming° was confined to that part of the premises in which the fire commenced. Another fire took place io the premises of Mr. J. Graguy, No. 2, Roman road. Old Ford. Considerable damage was done. The loss will fall upon the General and Royal Exchange fire-offices. A fire likewise broke out in the premises of Mr. J. Squires, a carpenter and joiner, No. 11, Highatreet, Stoke Newing ton, and was not extinguished until considerable damage was dose. §ALEOF THE "SUN" NEWSPAPER. —(THIS DAY). —This afternoon, at the Auction Mart, the copyright sad goodwill of the Sun newspaper were sold by Mr. E.

AUCHINLECK.—THREE PERSONS DROWNED. —A lamentable accident occurred in this neighbourhood on the afternoon of Sunday last. It appears that a young man named John Williamson, a miner, from Govan, and Mar garet Diniffie, housekeeper to the Rev. Mr. Wallace, catho lic priest at Old Cumnock, were at tee at her uncle's house at Commoodyke. They left this house about ball-past six o'clock, accompanied by Jean Diniffie, Margaret's cousin, and some others, for the purpose of calling at a sister's house, within a distance of 100 yards. Between the two houses there was an old quarry, and, as it was covered with ice, they ventured on it to slide across, when, melancholy to relate, they all, to the number of five, fell in, and only two got out alive. The unfortunate sufferers were John Williamson and the twooouina, Margaret and Jean Diniffie. Upwards of an hour elapsed ere the bodies were recovered. Williamson and Margaret Diniffie was betrothed, and were to have been married at the new year. This melancholy event has caused a great sensation in this usually quiet neighbourhood.

The steamer Ripon will take to-day 264,1141. in specie for the East, of which 35,7051 is gold and the rest silver. The amount for India is 128,4801 ; for China, 75,8841. ; for the Straits, 33,4761. ; for Alexandria, 21,2751. ; and for Ceylon, 5,0001. The Mail steamer Oneida has arrived at South ampton from Brazil, with 9,1571. in specie. The biddings for 50,00,000 rupees in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England, the proportions to be allotted being 27 Les on Cal cutta, 20 lacs on Bombay, and 3 lea on Madras. The declared minimum price was, as on the last oc caaion, ls. 111 d. per rupee on Calcutta and 2s. on Bombay and Madru. The applications within the limits were for about 60 lace. Tenders on Calcutta at 2s. will receive about 48 per cent., and above that price in full ; on Bombay at 211. Old. and up wards will receive in full ; and on Madras at 2s. 0/d. will receive about 88 per cent., and above that price in full Several vessels clearing for New Granada are being rapidly filled up with goods, owing to the satisfactory nature of the receut intelligence from that republic. It is stated that parties at New York have made an offer to the Minister of New Granada at Wash ington to place 50,000 or 103000 emancipated negroes on the banks of the idagdalena if the Grenadian government will make a proportionate concession of land. The minister is said to have expressed his individual approval of the scheme, which will therefore probably be brought under the notice of President Mosquera. Its realisation under efficient auspices would doubtless promote the development of the resources of New Granada. An important uudertaking, which has been in course of preparation for some time past, is just launched under the title of the Scinde, Pun jaub, and Delbi Bank Corporation (Limited). The chairman is Mr. W. P. Andrew, chairman of the Scinde, Puojaub, and Delhi Railway', and the direction is in every respect of high respectability. The capital is fixed, for the present, at 1,000,000/., in 50,000 shares of 201. each, of which the first issue is to consist of 25,000 shares. The object of this bank is stated to be to extend legitimate facilities to the extensive and rapidly improving pro vinces of Upper India, whose commercial develop- ment will probably within a short period make rapid strides. In about 18 years the imports into &lade alone have risen from 121,1501. to 1,604, Er3o/., and the exports from 1,0101. to 1,361,7241., while the trade of Delhi alone in 1860 amounted to 4,000,0001. The chief office is to be in London, and the first branches will be opened at Kurrachee, Lahore. Umritsur, and Delhi, and in due time at Mooltau, Shikarpore, and Hyderabad ; while powers are also to be taken to establish agencies at other places of importance in the East. An assur ance harmonising with the respectability of the auspices under which this undertaking is brought forward, is given that " the preliminary charges will be confined to the necessary expenses, no remune ration whatever being given for originating the bank." The prospectus of the London and South Western Bank (Limited) is just issued. The first capital proposed to be raised in this instance is half • million, in 5,000 shares of 1001. each. In ex planation of the formation of this project it is pointed out that no new batik has been established since the year 1836 in the south and west of Eng land, where it is affirmed that a deficiency of bank ing accommodation is at present experienced. The London and County and the National Provincial are the only two London banks with branches in those districts. The points where branches are to be opened in the first instance are apparently Bristol, Southampton, Exeter, Plymouth, &c. It is not intended to call up more than 251. per share. Another new undertaking is the United Kingdom Railway Rolling Stock Company (Limited). The object of this undertaking is to supply a want felt under existing circumstanoes by railway companies, particularly those whose capital is limited. It is proposed to purchase railway rolling stock and lease it to railway companies and others for short periods, " under agreements which will provide for the purchase of the stock by the companies at the expiration of the lease." The rent and purchase money are to be payable by quarterly instalments extending over sor 7 years. It is mentioned that preliminary arrangements bare been made for the immediate employment of 30,0001., and that other offers have been received for upwards of 40,0001. The proposed capital is 100,0001., in 101. shares. The British Paper-pulp Company (Limited) is also formed, with a proposed capital of 50,0001., in 5,000 shuts of 101. each, of which 3,500, denomi nated "A" shares, are to bear a preferential divi dend of 5 per cent, per annum, while the remain ing 1,500, styled "B" shares, are to be assigned (together with 3,0001. in cash) in payment fur the patents to be worked. The proprietors of the patents will thus occupy a secondary position as regards profits. The object of the process is to pre pare a bleached " half-stuff" of a quality suitable for the best paper, direct from the flax plant iu its crude state, and from other fibrous materials. It is affirmed that the process has great advantages in point of economy. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,4821. The Croydon and Balham line of the Brighton Railway Company was opened for traffic on Monday. Trains now run between Victoria and New Croy don, calling at the new stations at Streatham-com mon and Thornton-heath. The directors of the Crystal Palace have resolved to recommend a dividend of 3 per cent. on the ordinary stock of the company for the past year. This is the largest dividend ever paid on this stock, and is equal to over 8 per cent on its present price. A general meeting of the Crystal Palace Cora- piny will be held on the 17th inst. The half-yearly meeting of the African Steam Company is convened for the same day. The advicee by the Cape Mail indicate that the project of the South African Irrigation and Invest ment Company lately formed in London will be re ceived with favour in the colony. It appears that a list of applications has been obtained there for 4,500 shares in an investment company supported by a local committee, in which the partners of so veral members of the directors of the above-men tioned English company are acting, and proposi tions will go out by the next mail for an incorpo ration of these local subscriptions with the present undertaking. It is notified that Mr. Edward Wes ton, of Messrs. Weston and Laurie, and Mr. Wil liam Duthie, merchant, of Mark-lane, have joined the direction of this company. It appears that on the 15th Nov. the New York Stock Exchange, by a large majority, cancelled the resolution passed prohibiting dealings in gold, and transactions are recorded as heretofore. With reference to the market for American secu rities Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows We have had, during the past week, an active market in London for American securities, with transactions of raw siderable magnitude.

Yesterday the quotation was 69 to 70, and recently 66. We notice by an advertisement from this company, addressed to the holders of the Island Pond Debentures, that the interest due on them at the reduced rate of 6 per cent., has just been de posited with London bankers on their account. There were more inquiries to-day for United States Five per Cent. Bonds, it being stated that the new taxation is beginning to tell in rather a marked manner upon the revenue. The new bonds of the Atlantic and Great West ern Railway have been dealt io to-day at 1 prem., and the old at 73. A fresh rise has taken place to-day in the shares of the London and Brazilian Bank. London and Colonial Bank, Standard Bank of Africa, and Bank of New South Wales, have also improved ; Bank of London continue in demand and firm. There was a relapse in Agra Bauk.
