POWER OP COMMIS/HORSES TINDER ACTS OP PARLIAMENT TO LEVY RATE/4 TO OPPOSI THE PASSING or OTHER ACTS.—The bill was filed by Abraham Brighton and others on behalf of themselves and all others the owners of lands comprehended in the second district mentioned in an Act of Parliament passed for main taining the banks of the River Ours, between Denver Sluice and the Eau Brink Cut, in the county of Norfolk, against Nicholas North and others, who were some of the commissioners and deputy-commissioners acting for the 2nd district, and against Daniel Gurney, Esq., the treasurer for the same district (who also, bi virtue of the aet, represented the commissioners genera 1 ) , praying that it might be declared that the commissioners or the 2nd district were not entitled to apply any monies, raised or raisable under the Act of Parliament, in carrying into execution cer tain resolutions which had been passed by the defendants (other than Gurney), acting as commissioners and deputy commissioners at • certain meeting which took place on the 9th March last; and that they might be decreed to refund 1051. of such monies which they had already applied to that purpose. It appeared that the ob ject of the River Ooze Act was to " protect and secure from inundation many thousand acres of adjoining fen end marsh land," and for that purpose to " put the banks and bridges of the said river Ouse between Denver Sluice and the upper end of the Bau Brink Cut in a permanent state of stability and security, and to construct the forelands and slopes of the banks as far as possible upon one uniform system, and to set back the said banks where the force of the current or other circumstances might require the same ;" and for that pur pose, also, to levy rates on the landowners within the dis trict ; but nothing in the act was to be construed to autho rise the commistioners "to do any act that might be preju dicial to the drainage or navigation of the said river Ouse." It was alleged by the bill that in the early part of this year certain persons formed themselves into • joint-stock com pany, called the " Norfolk Estuary Company," for the pur pose of reclaiming from the sea a large tract of land in the county of Norfolk, below Lynn Regis , by diverting the waterinto the river Ouse, and that such company brought into the House of Commons a bill to enable them to carry their scheme into effect. That on the 9th March, 1848, the commissioners met, and that the defendants (ex -lumber cepa Gurney), constitntinp the majority in nu. and value of the commissioners, paned the follow ing resolution, viz., that proceedings should be taken on behalf of the commissioners for watching, and, so far as might be necessary, opposing the said bill in parliament, and for causing such provisions to be inserted therein as might be requisite for indemnifying the landowners in the second district from any greater charge in respect of the banks of the river Ouse, than had been incurred by them on the average of the last eight years, and that a rate of Gd. an acre on lands within the second district should be raised, under the provisions of the River Ouse Act, for defraying the expenses of the said proceedings on behalf of the said commissioners ; and that such expenses should in the mean time be paid out of the funds then in hand, which had arisen under the provisions of the said act. That a subsequent meeting of the same commissioners took place on the 17th of March, when they voted that 1061. should be paid to one of their body, John Platten, a solicitor, to be applied by him to the purposes of the resolution passed at the previous meeting, and that this sum was afterwards . paid to him by the defendant Gurney, as treasurer.—To this bill the defendants demurred, first, for want of equity, and, secondly, because the other commis sioners and deputy-commissioners of the district, and also the general commissioners under the act, and also her Majesty's Attorney-General, were not made parties to the bill. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Bunny, in support of the demurrer, argued that the course taken by the commissioners was jus tifiable, both on public and private grounds . That they had a duty to perform to the public as far as the navigation of the river was concerned, and to the landowners in seeing that no fresh danger accrued to their property from inun dation. Mr. Russell and Mr. Toiler appeared for the plaintiffs. Ili, Honour—lt is alleged that certain persons, in the early part of the year, applied for an act of Parliament for the purpose of draining the Wash. The mouth of the River Ouze is in the Wash. The commissioners in this district considered that the act of Parliament would put the district in a disadvantageous situation. They therefore came for ward to oppose the act, it not being alleged that they were served with any proceeding, or any notice of it—it not being alleged that they had any notice except what the public in general had in the shape of advertisements stating the intention to apply for an act. However good the inten tions of the .- - ---‘lisioners might be (and I think their intentions were good), how - ever reentuable it might Lave been for the landowners to subscribe for that purpose, I am unable to discover in their set anything which enables the commissioners to apply the proceeds of the rates levied under it for the purpose of defraying any expense incurred, or to be incurred, in opposing the bill in question. Unless, upon further considering the act, I should be of a different opinion, I must hold that the course taken by the commis boners was ward vireo, and, therefore, that the plaintiffs tare an equity. The ease was then argued on the question of parties, but his Hesouret he to a further consideration of the case till Tuesday morning ) ultimately overruled the Is:Duffer, reserving thecae's to hearing. Beene Vice-Cluaoellor Wlstram. FEAR BR O. JONES.—FRArDIMENT MISREPRESENTATION. —The bill in this awe, which was filed by the plaintiffs as ma magma of the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshize Banking Company, prayed that the bank might (under the circum stances mentioned in the bill) be declared entitled to have a allebt of .6101., due to them from David Jones and John Powell, the two first-named defendants upon the record, paid in priority to a debt of 2001. owing by the same Partin ee John Jones, the other defendant upon the record ; and ter the delivery up by the latter of a mortgage deed upon *Web both debts were secured. It appeared that in Sep tember, 1842, John Powell was entitled to a mortgage for 1,0001. (sett s , however, to a prior charge to one Parry) uPew th e of David Jones; and that early in that month It was arranged that the lands and the mortgage should be conveyed and marled to the beak as a enmity for their debt. Powell then repre sented that the mortgage deed had already been deposited by him with the defendant J. Jonas, to secure a debt of 1,0001. Oa the Bth of September, therefore, a deed was executed, reciting the mortgage to Powell ; and that the same had been deposited with J. Jones as a collateral se curity, for a debt due to hint upon bond from Powell, whereby the leads ma the mortgage (subject to the prior charges to Piny and J. Jones), were ebnveyed and assigned to the bank, as a isamity for their debt; and early in October, 1812, notice was given by thelank to J. Jones of their claim upon the premises. The plaintiffs, having afterwards ascer tained that the representatiem contained in the recital as to the deposit with). Jean was false, applied to the latter to deify& up the deed. J.

TAUT'S NOT NECURAHT P 1117116 TO A SUlT.—This mh His Honour said, there had c learly been gross misconduct stated that Thomas Harding, deceased , by his will gave and on the part of some of the parties. The bank, upon re devised all his freehold and copyhold estates to his wife Ann la nesting security for their debt, had b een informed during her life, she keeping .the premises and the buildings t the property offered was subject to one charge in good and substantial repair, and committing no manner of to P arry , w hi& was true, and to another for 1,0001 . to Jones, waste, and not selling any ti m ber thereon, except what w hi c h was untrue.

The toe gave all his said estates, after the death of his wife, to defendant Powell, who, if be W told the truth, would James and William Hingham, and their children in manner have been called upon to give up his mortgage deed for therein mentioned. After the decease of the testator, his 1,8001,, bad falsely stated that the mortgage was subject to widow married Roger Lee, who committed various act" a charge of 1,0001. and by so doing bad been enabled to keep of waste upon the estate, and allowed the buildings the deed in his possession , and perpetrate a fraud upon the to fall out of repair, and the amount of such acts of defendant, J.

Jones was dilapidation and other acts of waste, and that they might imor.m.. , te a in the f rau d aga i ns t the bank, the case was re be declared liable to pay the same.—A demurrer was put In r duced to that of two innocent parties, one of whom must to this bill, on the ground that the personal representatives suffer by the fraud of a third person, the question being, of the wife were not necessary parties to the suit; that the which was to be entitled in a court of Justice to the wife, by her marriage, had parted with her interest in the benefit of his security, it being admitted that whoever estate, and was not liable to the acts of waste committed by failed would be prejudiced to the amount of the debt her husband. secured. His Honour then observed that the question sou Mr. Stuart and Mr. Campbell appeared in support of the simply as to which of two equities was to be preferred, and bill ; and Mr. Bethel! and Mr. Hargreave for the demurrer. took time to consider the auorities upon the subject before The Vice-Chancellor said the estates were in this cue 1 - -4 41 a final decision. given to the wife. subject to the usual restriction against waste being committed, and he did not think that there was any express direction which could be considered as creating a trust. If the estate had been devised with a trust of any description, the person taking the estate might have been compelled to execute that trust, and could not have conveyed it away without the trust being performed; but hero it was not so, and if he were to hold that such a clause as thill would create a trust, which the tenant for life was bound to perform, he would be laying down • proposition which would throw the greatest afficolties in the way of all tenants for life. If Mrs. Lee had conveyed the estate away to a stranger, she would have been in no case responsible for the subsequent acts committed by the purchaser. By the mar riage her husband became seised in her right, and her whole beneficial interest was vested in him ; he committed certain acts of waste, and he alone was responsible for those acts, and his wife's personal representatives were not necessary parties to the suit.—!lie Honour considered this a fearful experiment to encumber the estate, and he should therefore allow the demurrer. - - COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. DAVIS v. WILLIAMIL—EVIDENCE IN AN ACTION FOR LOSS or SERVICES OCCASIONED BY SEDUCTION.—Mr. Townsend moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case, which had passed for the defendant at the last assists for the county of Carnarvon, should not be set aside, and a new trial bad, on the groun d of misdirection. The action was brought by a mother to recover damages for the loss of her daughter's services, consequent on her having been seduced by the defendant. The daughter had been seduced while she was in the service of the defendant under a hiring for a jeer, which terminated at the end of April, 1845, about three months before she was confined. During these three months, and at the time of the confinement, she lived with her mother. It was contended for the defendant that on this state of fasts there was not disclosed any such service as would support an action by the mother to mover compensation for the loss of the daughter's services, and to the same effect the judge directed the jury. The learned counsel now submitted that the coasequence of the trespass, and not the trespass, was the ground of action ; so that the right to maintain it belonged, not necessarily to the person entitled to the service at the time of the trespass, but exclusively to the person whose enjoyment of the service had been prejudiced by the consequences of the trespass. The Court intimated an opinion that the action could only be supported by the person entitled to the service at the time or the seduction ; but ultimately took time to consider its decision. PHILLIPS V. COLLINS.—MODE OP LEAVING TO A JURY THE QUESTION OP THE LIABILITY or A PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMAN.—This was an action against the defendant as a member of the provisional committee of the French and Swiss Junction Railway Company, for goods supplied for the purposes of that company. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Wightman, at the sittings in London after last term, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the full amount elmmei. The questions raised at the trial were, first, whether the defendant was liable, as • member of the provisional committee; and 2nd, whether a person named Galbraith, by whom the goods supplied had been ordered, had authority to bind the provisional committee. Mr. Serjeant She* now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial hail on the ground of misdirection. He contended that the verdict had been caused by a direction made under the in fluence of decisions pronounced by the Court of Exchequer, which tended to make a man liable for everything, simply because he was a provisional committeeman. Lord Denman : Do you contend that the fact of his being • provisional committeeman is an excuse ?—Serjeant Shee : No, but the direction amounted to what I have said.— Mr. Justice Wightman: I think not. I left it to the jury to say.—l. Did the defendant hold himself out to the world or the plaintiff as a director of the company, or knowingly suffer others to hold him out as such director ? 2. Did the plaintiff execute the order given him on the credit of the defendant? 3. Were the goods such as might reasonably be required for the purposes of the company in the then state of the company ? 4. Had Galbraith authority to give the order ?—The jury gave an affirmative answer to each question. Lord Denman: There wu no misdirection. Rule refused. WOOD O. MTTTON.—RIORT TO EVE ox A NOTE or HAND PAYABLE TO THE MAKER. —Mr. Setjeant Shee moved for a rule to show cause will , the verdict which had passed for the plaintiff, at the sittings in London alter last term, should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of its being against the evidence ; or why a nonsuit Should not be entered, on the ground that the action was not maintainable. The action was brought by the holder of a note of hand, made by the defendant, payable to himself or his own order. At the trial, the defence of fraud was set up. On the second point, he submitted that the right to maintain the action depended on the statute of Anne, which, in re spect of notes of hand, directs that " all notes in writing which shall be made and signed by any person, whereby any such person shall promise to pay any other person, er his order, &c., shall be taken to be payable to such person, &c., to whom the same is so made payable." These words pointed clearly to a note payable to the order of some person other than the maker.—The Court panted the rpplication. Aosotom v. MAIM AND VITHERB.—Mr. Peacock obtain ed a rule nisi on the same point as that on which the rule was granted in the last case ; and also on the ground that as the note was made payable to " us or any of us" it was bad for uncertainty. A rule is depending in each of the other two courts in volving the same question as that raised in " Wood v. Mytton." BAIL COURT. - - - - IN THE MATTES OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OP THE BOROUOH OP WARWICIL.--CIRTIORAILL — Mr. Mellor moved for a certiorari to bring up an order of the Town Council of the borough of Warkwick, which had arisen out of certain proceedings which had been taken before the full court. A discussion had occurred in Easter term as to an order of the Town Council for the payment of 1001. to Mr. Tibbitts, the costa in a suit in Chancery, by which it was sought to restore the council to the management of certain charity trusts, of which they had bean deprived by the Municipal Corporation Act. The Court, however, was of opinion that the funds of the borough would sot be applied to such a payment The Borough appeared to be somewhat contumacious with regard to the ruling of the court. In the rule as then moved costs were asked which had been incurred by the town council, and also the costa of an irregularity, whkh arose in the following manner: It was necessary that in the course of the proceedings the fiat of the Attorney- General should be obtained ; the matter had gone on with out this consent being asked, but on application to the Lord Chancellor time had been given to apply to the Attorney- General. He bad, however, refused his " Sat," and the matter came before the Court of Chancery on an amended petition, that portion which related to the objec tion of the Attorney-General being struck out. In this matter Messrs. Morris and Newsam acted as solicitors, but without the authority of the town council. The coats of the irregularity amounted to 2151., which had been paid by Morns and Newsam, who made an appli cation to the town council for repayment. It was resolved by the town council, that as they had ne money themselves that Morris and Newsom should get it in the best way they could, and they should receive a bond as security. Morris and News= obtained the money on the bond from a client of theirs, Mr. Wrighten, on the 7th of April, 1846. On the 7th of May, the Co urt decided the question on the other case, and on the 31st of August Morris applied to the town council for payment on behalf of Wrighten, where upon the money was paid and the bond discharged by a resolution of the council ' and the usual order was made ; notice was then given by Mr. Heath, a burgess of the borough, that the order would be questioned and brought before the court, with the view of quashing it. The pay ment of these costa to Morris and Newsom was even a stronger case than the payment of those which had been incurred by the authority of the town council, and which the court refused to sanction ; and, therefore, it was con tended there should be a rule.—A rule nisi was granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings In Woes.) OSBORNE,. PRITCHAISD.—CLAin PT A RAILWAY SUR TIMOR AGAINST MS PRINCIPAL.— This Cage was tried be fore Mr. Justice Erle, at the last sittings at Guildhall, when • verdict was entered for the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Byles now moved upon affidavits for a rule to show cause why there should not be' a new trial, on the ground that the plaintiff had been taken by surPrise in the production of certain evidence. It was an &lion of asrump sit brought by the plaintiff, a surveyor, against the defen dant, who had employed him on the London anti Birmingham Extension Railway from Warwick to NorthamOon, to re cover the balance of an account alleged to be due to him for services, and also for expenses incurred by him io the dis charge of his duty. The defendant, who was the p:incipal surveyor to the company in question, promised to p.,.T the 1 plainti ff at the rate of 31. 3s, a day, and expenses, if he should turn out a " good surveyor." The pleas were urns assumprit, and that the plaintiff was not a good sur veyor. It appeared that on the 22nd of October, 1845, a contract was entered into between the plaintiff and defendant, by which the latter agreed to employ the former until the 30th November. The plaintiff was, as he alleged, discharged on the 15th of November, and the de fendant contended that he was not employed by him after the Bth, from which period he ceased to pay him. There 30th, eclaimeimu/increipeprn.a...stlao),nbetoortheene amountth Bth h an of d 3O t t e fo l r 6th his of services The defer.;* was, that the plaintiff was discharged on the Bth of November, and that he had received his salary up to that period. The questions left to the jury at the trial were. whether the plaintiff was discharged on the Bth or the 16th of November, and whether he had proved himself a " good earveyor." If he was dismissed o n the 15th, and no t on the ML, he would be entitled to one week's payment at all and if he had exhibited such skill as would misti me " good surveyor," he could clam payment until the SO* November, according to the contract. On Ile pert of the plaintiff a witness was called to prove that lb (plaintiff's) services were retained up to the Mk of November, and that hie work had given satisfaction. On the other hand evidence was adduced to wove that he was discharged on the Bth, and that the maps, he., executed by the plaintiff, were destroyed as unfit for use. He (Mr. Serjt. Bytes) urged that the plaintiff could have given corroborative evidence as to his being retained until the 15th, but as his legal advisers were not aware of the defence about to be set up, they forbore to call more than one witness as to the date of his discharge. He submitted, therefore, that this was ample reason for a sew trial on the ground of surprise, and he trusted the Court would grant him a rule nisi.—The Court was of opinion that the plaintiff had no ground for a new trial. When he commenced his action against the defendant, he must have known that the date of his dismissal would be a disputed point, and there fore he should have been prepared with evidence to meet it. If his legal advisers in the exercise of their discretion, had abstained from calling witnesses who might have proved his case, the learned counsel could not now come forward and say that the defence had taken him by surprise. The plain tiff must have known that the date of his discharge was material to make out his case.—Rule refused. WINDSOR IL HILL AND OTHERS.--ACTION FOR DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY • PASSENGER ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT THROUGH • COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VESSEL.— The plaintiff sought to recover 251. for injury sustained by Aim on board the Emerald, Gravesend steam boat, through an accident, which he attributed to the negli gence of tne crew of that vessel. The defendants, Hill, Dawson, and Warren, were sued as the owners, and the question was whether they really filled that capacity, and if so, whether the accident complained of was attributable to the negligence of their servants. The cue was tried before Mr. Baron Parke, at Maidstone, when a verdict was entered for the plaintiff, amsges 251. Mr. Serjeant Shee now moved for a rule to show cause why there should not he anew trialoa the ground that evidence had been improperly received, that the verdict was against evidence, and that there was • variance between the issue and the record, which the plaintiff's attorney had corrected without the authority al the learned judge. The facts of the ease were briefly thee On the 13th December last, the plaintiff was a passenger IR board the Emerald steamer, which left Gravesend at three o'clock in the afternoon, and immediately after the vessel had rounded Broadness Point, the John Bull, Hamburg steamboat, was descried. The captain of the Emerald gave orders to put the helm a-port, and at that moment a collision took place. The plaintiff's leg was broken by the concussion, and thinking that the accident was attributable to the care lessness of those who had the conduct of the Emerald, he brought his action against the proprietors to recover compen sation. The question therefore was, whether the accident had been caused by the Emerald or the John Bull. On the part of the plaintiff it was contended that the John Bull was going against the tide, and that, according to the rules of the Trinity Baud, the captain had a right to starboard the helm, in order to go towards the Essex shore. On the other aide witnesses were called to prove that there were no lights on the John Bull, although it was dark at the time, and that there was a total absence of all those circumstances from which it could be inferred according to rifirraens. vu that the captain and crew were careful in the management of their vessel ; whereas, there was a good look-out kept on board the Emerald, the captain was on the paddle-box, and the vessel was well protected by a light at the mast head ; the helm was put a-port, which course, it was urged, ought also to have been taken by the John Bull, according to the Trinity rule. With regard to the evidence adduced to iden tify the defendants as the owners of the Emerald, he (Mr. Serjeant Shea) submitted that it was insufficient, inasmuch as it consisted solely of statements to the edict that Hill and Dawson bad been seen at the office of the steam-hoat com pony. There was no direct proof of the ownership, and as to Warren there was no evidence at all to go to the jury. Upon the question as to the variance between the issue and the record, the learned serjeant contecded that it afforded ground for a new trial, inasmuch as the attorney for the plaintiff had supplied an omission without the authority of the court. It appeared that the date of the writ was omitted in the issue, and the attorney seeing the same omission in the record, bad corrected it upon his own responsibility. It bad been decided in two cases in this court, '• Worthington v. Wigley," 5 Dowling's Practice Cases. page 209; and " Blissett v. Tennant," 6 Dowling, page 436—that when an attorney attempts to correct an irregularity in the record without applying to the court, the opposite party has good ground for a new trial.—The court expressed some doubt upon this last question, but granted the rule upon all the points.—Rule nisi accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sitting. In %Mo. BEADBL V. MURRAY, BART.- —THE RURAL POLICB AND THE MAGISTRACY.—This was an action for assault and falsiimprisonment, and was tried by a special jury, before Mr. Baron Parke, at the last assizes for Hertfordshire, when a verdict was returned for the defendant. It appeared that some time before Christmas last, Sir Robert Murray, the defendant, who is a magistrate for the county of Hertford, lost some fowl, and gave directions to two policemen, one named Goode, an inspector and the other named Hawke', to look after them. They Proceeded, in obedience to their orders in search of the lost fowl, and not having succeeded discoveringin them, they saw, on passing the house of the plaintiff, who is a poulterer, residing at Stephenedge, in Hertfordshire, some birds exactly corresponding with the description of those lost by Sir Robert Murray. The plain tiff, on being told this, stated to the policemen that he pur chased the fowl some time before, and mentioned the names of the persons of whom he had bought them. They. however, suggested to him the propriety of allowing Sir Robert Murray to see them, as they so very much resembled those he had lost, and the plaintiff consented to do so. He brought the fowl in a cart to Sir Robert Murray's residence, where the two policemen had arrived first, as the route by which they went was shorter than that, round the road, by which the plaintiff was obliged to go. They took the fowl into Sir Robert Murray, and after a shout time returned to the plaintiff, who, addressing the policemen, said: " Well, I hope Sir Robert is now satisfied that the fowl arc not his." " He is so satisfied," replied the policemen, " that he or& red us to take you into custody, and handcuff you." The plaintiff was accordingly detained that night, and next morn ing was brought before the magistrates, to whom he repeated the statement as to having purchased the fowl some time before ; the matter was investigated, inquiries were made as to the truth of the plaintiff's assertions, and the result was that he was at once discharged. Be then brough t . this action against the defendant, who pleaded first a justifi cation, and, secondly, " Not Guilty." The plea of justification not having been sustained, the question was, whether the defendant had given authority to the policemen to handcuff the plaintiff and keep him in custody. The two policemen, who were produced upon behalf of the defendant, swore that they had not acted upon his authority, but solely upon their own; whereupon the learned judge told the jury, if they believed that evidence they should find a verdict for the defendant. Having accordingly done so, Mr. Montagu Chambers now moved to set aside that ver dict, and for a new trial. The affidavits upon which he moved stated that the policemen bad been examined by the plaintiff's attorney and his clerk, before the trial, and that they both then stated distinctly that they had been directed by the defendant to handcuff the plaintiff and take him into custody. That Goode, on the morning of the trial, was closetted with the defendant's attorney, and that there was so much doubt of his veracity, that the plaintiff would not call or examine him; also, that this policeman was told by an other influential magistrate of Hertfordshire that no action could he then brought by the plaintiff against either of the policemen, as the time limited by act of parliament for in stituting legal proceedings against police-officers on such grounds as these had expired, and that the particular clause in the statute was shown, before the trial, to Goode by the magistrate alluded to, in order to convince him and Hawkes that they could not be made responsible to the plaintiff. The affidavits further stated that Goode, after the trial, asserted it was a hard case for him that he should perjure himself in order to save the defendant. The learned counsel observed, that the country polite were entirely under the control of the magistrates, who had the power to appoint, to dismiss or reward them, and from the facts stated in the affidavits, upon which he moved, it was not at all unlikely that the policeman in question had given untrue evidence from the apprehension of dismissal. The court intimated that it was desirable to afford an oppor tunity to explain or contradict the extraordinary statement of one of the principal witnesses that he had perjured him self to save the defendant, and upon that ground they granted a rule to show souse. Mr. Baron Alderson—Most probably the answering affi davits will explain away all the statements now made. Mr. Chambers—lt is possible, my lord. A rule Pali was then granted. POLICESATURDAT. MARYLEBONE.—ATTEMPT AT 6IIICIDIS tit A CELL.— Jane Kelly was placed at the bar charged with robbery. On the previous evening, about seven o'clock, the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Ormaton, cheesemonger, Crawford-street, and contrived to secrete a piece or bacon beam* bar shawl. She was going away with it when she was 11111.101 by Mr. Ormston, and asked what she had got ender bar awl. She immediately gave him up the property, at the same time of fering him, if he would not prosecute her, dud she would pay him a shilling a pound for it. She Wee given Into custody of police-constable Potter, 55 D, who anmersi her to the station.—Mr. Rawlinson What bays you to my to the charge ?—The prisoner replied that she was lite wife of a poor labourer out of employment, with three &Siren, and what induced her to commit this act she could not t•IL—Mr. Rawlinson must send you to the sessions for trial.—The prisoner was removed from the bar to the lock-up in a state of great excitement. Whilst confined in one of the cells, she made an attempt to put an end to her existence by hanging herself with her garter, bac her design was frustrated by a young woman w h o was locked up with her. MARL BORO UO LI-STREET. Cantu:tr. Frederic Chalkley, an omnibm•-driver, was summoned before Mr. Long, at the instance of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for &Welty to two Isomer. Ditton, one of the society's constables, said he saw the defendant a few days ago driving a pair of horses in an omnibus, whose miss ruble condition, and inatality to perform the task required of work, _ been out of work for some time, and wanted a job to out bre a d for his family, otherwise he would not have gone out with the omnibus. Indeed, the owners of omnibuses could not get a regular driver to go out with the animals, therefore they generally employed those whose neces sities obliged them to accept such a job. The defen dant, when called upon to answer the charge, owned that the horses were unfit for omnibus work, and that he was ashamed to drive them through the street!; but being a poor man,Swith • large family, he had been obliged to do something towards their suppert. The owner of the omnibus well kaew the conditioe, of the animals, for he stood by while they were being placed to the omnibus.—Mr. Long said it was evident that the defendant was not the most I guilty party. The owner of the omnibus ought to be the party to receive punishment.—The driver said the owner was a person of the name of Underwood, of the White Swan, Bishopegate-street—Mr. Long said he was sorry the law was so constructed as to oblige him to inflict a penalty on the defendant, and to allow the greater delinquent to 1 1 escape. The charge of cruelty had been clearly prove], and as the law would not permit torture to be inflicted on dumb animals for the sordid purposes of their unfeeling drivers, he should inflict a fine, though a small one under all circum stances, on the defendant —Fined 10s. and costa.—The society were recommended to proceed against the owner, as the evidence of the defendant would be enough to establish a charge of cruelty. CROYDON. EXTRAORDINARY DELUSION. Kesiah Siddons, who is better known in Croydon as Anne Trust, was charged before the presiding magistrates with obtaining a considerable sum of money and a quantity of clothes from Elizabeth Markby Dodd, by means of false and fraudulent pretences.—Miss Elisabeth M. Dodd deposed as follows :—I reside with my aunt, Miss Markby, who carries on the busi ness of stationer in Croydon. I know the prisoner. About last May she came to me, and said that a young gentleman belonging to the East India College, at Addiscombe, was anxious to pay his addresses to me, and that he had employed her as his agent to convey messages and letters between us. She described him as being tall and fair, and said that his name was Anderson, and the reason assigned for the secrecy was that if it were known that he was corresponding with any young lady the authorities of the college might deprive him of his commission. A gentleman answering the description given by the prisoner had been to the shop, and she believed the information given to her by the prisoner, and they communicated together from time to time upon the subject. In August the prisoner showed her an advertisement in a newspaper to the effect that the communications were still to be kept up through " a friend," and she said this advertisement came from Mr. Anderson, and referred to her. The prisoner told her that everything must be kept very secret, and it would be necessary, as her lover had been sent to India, that she should follow him there to be married, and she, the prie soner, was to accompany her, and it was necessary that she should have an outfit. In consequence of this, witness gave the prisoner several dresses, and she said that her lover was to meet her at Bengal, and they were then to be married. The prisoner then said she must have same money to pre pare for the voyage, and witness sold out some stock belong ing to her, and the first nun she gave the prisoner was 191., and she afterwards gave her another sum of 151. On last Friday week, upon the prisoner's representation that every thing was ready for their journey, she clandestinely packed up her clothes and left her aunt's house, and accompanied the prisoner to the Greyhound Inn, at Sutton, where they remained until the following Wednesday, and, during that period, she gave the prisoner another sum of 101., but she returned her 51. They proceeded from Sutton to the Red-hill station of the railway, and from thence by train to Dover, intending to go to Prance, and proceeding by the overland route to India to meet her lover. While they were at Dover, however, some gentlemen from Croydon, accompanied by a policeman, overtook them, and the prisoner was taken intocustody, and the witness returned with her friends.—Serjeant Lumber, belonging to the East India Company's establishment at Addiscombe, deposed that at the title in question there was no cadet of the name of Anderson belonging to the establishment —Anne May, &cen t:ldeate in the elopement, corroborated Miss Dodd's state ment. The prisoner used to come very often to the house to tell fortunes, but it was without the knowledge c f her mis tress. The door was left open, so that she might get down into the kitchen unp , reeived. The prisoner frequently told Miss Dodd her fortune. (Laughter.)—Mr. Adams : What did she say to her—do you recollect ?—Witness : I cannot recollect it all, but I know she used to say something about a tall line young man being in love with her. (Laughter.)- -The prisoner, upon being called upon for her defence, re peated her statement about the young gentleman being in love with Miss Dodd, and said that the money was only ap plied to the necessary expenses.--The magistrates, after a short consultation, said there was no doubt that the prisoner had acted in a most crafty and wicked manner ; although, at the same time, they considered it was most extraordinary that a young woman of the age of Miss Dodd should have been so credulous as to allow herself to be duped by such an absurd story. They were of opinion, however, that the evidence did not support the charge ; and they were there fore compelled to dismiss it : but they at the same time re marked, that they saw quite enough of the prisoner's course of life to induce them to caution her to be careful in future, or she might depend she would get into a scrape and re ceive some punishment. —The prisoner was then disChargel. but he said bts Walter WOUICI.

The aggregate quantity withdrawn from the Bank is so little increased, therefore, that it is not improbable the demand, so far as arising from causes internally at work, has nearly ceased, if not alto gether. It iv still a doubtful point what amount, if any, may have been taken for exportation of the more than one million and a half in which the bank is now deficient upon its highest stock in hand some weeks since. It remains to be seen how the state and declining tendency of foreign ex change, to which attention was drawn on a late occasion, may come to operate, now or hereafter, in disturbing further the hard money account of the bank. The decrease of public deposits, doubtless, occasioned by government requirements for Ireland, will explain the in crease of active circulation, as well as the withdrawal of coin and bullion. In other ree?ects there is no feature in these returns of other than an ordinary nature.

Tnx FEMALE BuitoLan.—Hester Elizabeth [Mite was finally examined on a charge of burglary at the house of Mr. Jones at Ealing, some particulars of which appeared in our' paper of this day week. The prisoner appeared to be in a very weak state from the effects of the cold she caught in the commission of the robbery, and was accommodated with a chair.—Mr. Jones, having identified the property found at the k wisoner's lodgings, as part of that stolen from his house on uesday, October 20, Emma Kent deposed that she had been in the service of Mr. Jones for the last four years. On the 20th ult., the prisoner called on witness at Mr. Jones's, as she said, to bid witness good bye before she went to a situ ation at Bedford. She carne about-six o'clock, and left about nine o'clock. Witness, with the servant next door, accom panied the prisoner to the Ealing station of the Great Wes tern Railway, and saw her take her departure. On that evening witness fastened up the house between five and six o'clock, and sprung the bars of the kitchen window shutters. The next morning witness, on coming down stairs, was greatly surprised on finding the drawing-room door open, having seen it shut as she went up to heel the night before, and, on getting into the kitchen she found that door shut, which she had left open, and the window shutters open, and the curtain hanging down. She then saw on the window sill muddy marks of some person having entered. Having searched the house without missing anything she gave in formation of the circumstance to Mr. Jones. Saw nothing suspicious in the prisoner's conduct the evening before the robbery. Inspector Lorton, T division, deposed to having re ceived information of the robbery, and examined the premises, he found that the entry had been effected by some Hat instru ment being introduced between the kitchen window shutters, by which the bar had been lifted up from the outside. lie also found foot-marks, evidently of a female, on the lawn in front of the kitchen window, and tracked them to the wall at the side of the house, and over that in a field, where he also found the knife pr oduced, which he had no doubt had been used to open the window shutter. The knife was Mr. Jones's. Witness had since traced the stolen notes from the Bank of England, into which they had been paid, through the hands of several tradesmen, and one of them, No. 88,061, to have been paid by the prisoner to a Miss Warren, of Han way-street, Oxford-street, in the purchase of two pairs of stays, to whom the prisoner had given her real name and address. On Friday, the 30th ult., witness went to No. 20, Crown -court, Pall-mall, and was shown by Mrs. Lee, the landlady, to the prisoner's room. On entering he found the prisoner and another female in the room, both undressed, having just got out of bed. That was about ten o'clock in the forenoon. He told the prisoner he was come to appre hend her for the robbery at Mr. Jones's, at Ealing, the stolen notes having been traced to her, when she became greatly agitated, and nearly fainted. In the room he found the wills, and deeds, and other documents done up in a brown paper parcel, directed to Mr. Jones,Woodland-place, Ealing, and under the pillow the stolen desk produced, with the coins and most of the stolen articles, except the notes and sovereigns. He then took the prisoner into custody.—Ser jeant Tull, T 22, deposed to conveying the prisoner to the station-house at Ealing by railway. At the Paddington terminus, the prisoner said she hoped Emma Kent would not be discharged through the robbery, as no one was to blame but herself (prisoner) ; and, in addition, she said, " They can't say I took anything except that," meaning the desk. She also said she had folded up the wills and deeds with the intention of sending them back to Mr. Jones. Witness cautioned 12. n• that what she said would be used against her, to which she replied, " Never mind, I have no wish to con ceal anything."—The prisoner was further identified by Miss 'Warren, who sold her the stays, as the person who gave her the stolen A/. note; and als o by Mrs. Glover, a person to whom she had given the stolen penholder; and Mrs. Lee, the landlady where she lived in Crown-court, de posed to her coming home on the morning of the 21st ult., about eight o'clock, wet through, and in an exhausted state, and that she soon afterwards saw the desk in the room, and the prisoner break it open. —The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was fully committed. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY EVENING. The dealings in the funds have been to-day upon a moderate scale only, but the market steady ; and towards the clam of business with a alight improvement in prices, so far as Consols, other stocks leaving off more firm at previous quotations. Consols closed 944 to 1 for Money, and 941 to 1 for Account. Reduced Threes, 931 to 4. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 961 to 1. Exchequer Bills, 10s. to 14s. premium. Long Annuities, 91 to 15-16. The market has been heavy for foreign securities. Spanish were rather lower : the Fires, 264 to 1; the Threes, 371 to 4. Portuguese, 38 to 40. Mexican, 211 to 21. Dutch Two and a•Eialf per Cents., 181 to 9; the Fours, 92 to 1. There was an absurd report about the Stock Exchange that the house of agency connected with the Mexican Conversion bond scheme recently repudiated by the government of Mexico, and which, in consequence of such repudiation, had naturally ceased its functions, had received by the West Indian Mail recently arrived, a full acknowledgment of the validity of that operation, and bad, in consequence, resumed its functions. Now, whatever may be thought of the conversion, and the manner of proceeding of the house in question, in relation therewith, it is quite impossible some public notice would not have been given direct to the bondholders, by a firm of such respectable standing, had there been any real foundation for the report referred to. In the absence of such intimation on Its part, it need not be stated that the rumour met with no credit. RAILWAY NETS. On Saturday there was more than an average of active business in shares and scrip, with an advance in the values of some lines. North Staffordshire, were buyers at 33 premium. Birmingham and Oxfbrd and Dudley, Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, Leeds and Dewsbury, 'Eastern Counties and York Extension, London and York, were all in demand at advanced rates. Scotch lines were not quite so good. Indians I also were in decline. The share market at Liverpool was tolerably firm. Though the arrangement of the London and North Western, with the Leeds and Dewsbury, and Huddersfield and Manchester, is completed on the terms named on the sth instant, prices have not risen materially. The Dewsburys closed at 11 pm. and the Huddersfield. at 5 pm.; rather below their in trinsic value. The Old stocks were hardly as good as they were • few days ago; still quotations were not altered. North Stafford. had improved to 31; Great Grimsby and Sheffield were also better. The Manchester share market was very animated. A large business was done, and prices in many stocks w, re higher than on the previous day. The market closed very healthy. The business transacted at Birmingham was comparatively trifling. In Birmingham and Oxford Junctions there were sales at 61 p., and in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudleys at 61 p., but the market was by no means firm at this quotation. Ambergates and Stour N alleys maintained the rates lest quoted, and Shropshire Unions were done at 3.. 9d., and subsequently at J dis. At Leeds the share market was not so buoyant as on Friday, prices having rather a tendency to decline, except in respect of those lines where local causes are in operation. Amongst the sales effected were Leeds and Dewsburys at prices vary ing from 101 pm., to 111 pm., closing at 111. pm. The brunch shares of the same lines rose from 61 to 61 pm. Leeds and Bradford, went up from 441 to 441 pm. East and West Yorkshire also improved from 15s. dis. to 12s. 6d. dis., and Wharfedale Junction shares from 15s. dis. to 12s. dis., whilst Leeds and Thirks declined from Is. Sd. pm. to 20s. dis., and New Thinks from par. to 15s. dis., and York and Newcastle (new) shares receded front 131 to 121, and I nuddendield and Manchester from 58 to 41.
