This was an action to recover 40/. on a bill of exchange. The defendant amongst other pleas pleaded that no con arisration had been given for the bill lir. Pm* was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mt Kemp for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant had accepted the bill in question for a person named Skinner, on the nth boa that he would supply the goods for it. Skinner was i pt called by either party. The defence was that plaintiff b a d been aparty to a fraud, and had given no value for pie 1111. The plaintiff's case was that Skinner owed him , that he gave 191. in cash for the bill, and placed the lehnote to Skinner's credit. The jury were unable to agree, and the court was of opi akn, in this awkward position, that if the jury retired the *nag must have terminated for the rest of the day ? it being impossible to get another jury. After some time the jury said they were 11 to 1, and asked his lordship to sake their verdict. This the learned counsel on both aides *sated to, and the verdict was given for the plaintiff Ar 19/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. _ fittings at Nisi Prim in Middlesex.-(Before Lord Ohief Justice &will ends Specid Jury.) ninoinnii r. YRS LONDON AND BIUGHTON RAILWAY • COMPANY. Ws was an action to mover damage. for injuries sus. tired at Newavoss en last Good Friday. The company's liability was admitted, so that the only question was the amount of damages. Mr. G. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Healey appeared for the Obeid! ; and Mr. Manisty, Q.C.,.aad Mr. "Lannon for the iafendants. TIM plaintiff, a young woman 18 years of age, had been in the habit of going occasionally to the Crystal Palace to act as barmaid. On last Good Friday she was there in that capacity, and on returning, whilst her train was eta *airy at hew-cross, another train ran into it, and the *Miff was thrown violently against one of the arms that Elided the seats, and was then thrown backward. Mr. Stephen White, a surgeon in Theobald'a.road, said that the laintiff's father was a tradesman in that neigh bourhood, anti witness had attended the family for thirty yam On Easter Monday he was called in to attend the plaintiff, and found her lying upon the sofa. The left side d her face was much swollen, and four of her teeth were loosened. The face was excessively painful on beingtouched, lad she said that the whole of her left side was in great ag ony. She also complained of pain in the back. There vas considerable enlargement of the left side just above com plained A fortnight or three weeks afterwards she com • of vomiting, of great numburis of the left aide, aid tingling senaations in the fingers. She had convulsions and hysterical fits, 10 or 12 in number, since the accident. Timms saw her in one of the fits, and she tore her lair with excessive agony and had to be restrained. The fits came on in this way. There was • tingling at the ends of the left-hand fingers, a peculiar satiation ran up the arm and meal pain on the top of the head and then seine the fits. On the sth of July she went to Ramsgate for • fortnight or three weeks, bit was not at all improved in health by the trip. Vomiting and also bleeding at the nose continued down to the present time, and her Ever and bowels were very inactive. Previous to the accident she was a rosy checked .irl, but since she had bat all her colour, and she had also lost somewhat in weight. On the sth of September she was examined by the company's surgeon, and she started with pain when a particular part of the spine W 3.3 touched. She was now quite unable to earn her living in any way, and it was impossible to say when she would be able to take an active part in life. He thought that she would require medical attention for some time longer, sad that she ought to go into the country for a very consi derable time. The plaintiff and her mother were called, and it ap peared that the plaintiff had, down to the time of the accident, been in first rate health, and had never been attended by a doctor. Dr. Reynolds, the physician to the National Hospital for Epilepsy and Paralysi., and also physician to the lini reri College, was of opinion that there was a consider able shock to the whole nervous system, and that there was ss alteration of the quality of the blood, probably conse quent on the accident. It was impossible to say when the plaintiff would recover. Sometimes such symptoms lasted a lifetime. Mr. Man sty called no witnesses ; but he addressed the jury von the amount of the damages. The jury found for the plaintiff—damages 400/. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) tiamnow r. STOBIE AND THE QUERN'S PROCTOR (INTERVENING). This was a suit to determine which was the last will of Mr. Vincent Phillips, late of Sun-street, Finsbury. The plaintiff propounded one executed on the 10th of February, lnsid ; the defendant set up another dated September, lS.d, and the Queen's Proctor, who had intervened on be half of the Queen, the deceased having no next of kin, alleged that he had died intestate. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Parry, Dr. Spinka, sad Mr. Marmot for the plaintiff : Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Dr. Vi ambey for the defendant ; the Queen's Advocate and Mr. Raman for the intervener. The Me on behalf of Mr. Hastilow was as follows. The deceased, who hail latterly lived at 49, De Beauvoir-road, Kinpland, had for many years carried on the business of an engraver and die-sinker, in Sun 'Meet. He died on the 4th of June, 1863, at the age d 86, and he left realty worth 4001. or 5001. a yam, and personalty to the amount of 6,0001. or 7,000/. hear him in Sun-street, Finsbury . , lived another a retired Custom-house officer, but no relation. This per son bad two daughters, one of whom was married, first to Hicks, an ivory turner, then to a man named Moore, who, however, died soon afterwards, and left her a second time a widow. The plaintiff was an apprentice of Hicks, and he afterwards married the other Miss Phillips. Mrs. Hicks had a son David, who in his turn was apprenticed to Haatilow. She died in 1564. The testator had been on very friendly terms with Mrs. Moore, so friendly, in short, that the plaintiff had disapproved of the intimacy, and a certain coolness lad sprung up between them in consequence. As the testator became more and more advanced in years and ahem, he wan waited upon by a man and his wife earned Field ; but ultimately he had David Hicks and his life to live with hint. He employed the defendant Stobie satins time to collect a certain portion of his rents, at a salary of a guinea a week, and it was suggested that Stobie kad persuaded him to make a will in his favour. Soon afterwards the testator told his medical attendant, Dr. Chandler, of Sun-street, what he bad done, and ex- Messed his great dissatisfaction at the disposition he hail made of his property. Dr. Chandler told him that ho could easily make a new will, but recommended him to employ a proper lawyer. The testator then made overtures to the plaintiff ; but Mr. Hastilow bad no particular desire to concern himself with his affairs, and it was not until after repeated messages that he con muted to see him. The testator then asked him to be his executor. Mr. Hastilow at once declined, bat the testator told him that he wished him to take the greater part of his property. Mr. Hastilow replied that that altered the case, but that he could have nothing to do with the making of the will. He did, however, recom mend the testator to apply to Messrs. Roscoe and Hinckes. Re did so, and the will now before the court was drawn, approved of, and executed in due form of law. The ease is likely to occupy a considerable time. BOW-STREET. 110C8LBREACIRG IH BLOORIBBERT.

Mrs. Hume identified the prisoners as the two men whom she found in the parlour. She had never seen either of them before. They were remanded for further examination. Hoxton, appears in the list as an assenting creditor for 451. I do not owe him anything. Either I, or some one on my behalf, asked him to sign the deed. I did not say anything to induce him to do so. I know that Portington executed • deed last year. I was put down as a creditor for 1141., but he did not owe me above 301. Thos. Barnes, of Exchequer-plasm, Lewiaham, did not sign my deed, bat he is reckoned up in the list of as swain creditors for 78/.los. Mr. Garner, of 22, Hornsey road, Holloway, appears as a creditor for 1451. Ido not owe him anything to speak of-about • sovereign. I did not ask him to sign. I imagine my solicitor did. A clerk of Mr. George, of Jermynatreet, the deed for me. His name is WeleXman. I Cvi er h e e l ard Garner called by the name of Cook. Mr. Connor, of S, Alfred-place, Wandsworth-road, next door to where Hived, is returned as an awaiting creditor for 501. Ido not owe him anything at all. I mentioned it to him, but he never signed the deed. Mr. David Far miles, of Lower Wandsworth-road, is an assenting creditor foe 671. 10s. Ido not owe him anything. I asked him to sign the deed. Did not give him anything for doing so. I merely knew him as a neighbour. I had done no business hi with m. I had no particular reason for fixing on the sum of 671. 10s., or on any of the other flagitious amounts. I took them at fancy. The next is Thomas Gurney, of F2linor's-plaoe,Hackney,assentingcreditor for 105/. I never owed him anything. I never asked him to sign the deed. I imagine my solicitor asked him. I don't know who else could. T. T. Morgan, of Grosvenor-place, Pimlico, is put down as a dissenting creditor for 301. I only owe him 13/. John Rudy, boot-maker, of 44, Hornsey-road, appears as an assenting creditor for 50/. I Jon't owe him that amount, or any tart of it. I believe I asked him to sign. I gave no reason for doing so. Frederick Hunt, of 42, Hornsey road, is put down as an assenting creditor for 311. 9s. I do not owe him anything-never did. I asked him to sign. I did not give him any inducement to do so. Mr. George, my "elicitor, has signed the deed as an assenting creditor for 17/. ls. 4d. I owed him that for preparing the deed. I had never employed him before. I went to his clerk, Welchman, whom I had known before, and asked him to prepare the deed. The deed bears date 27th March, but that date is nothing ; it was filled in after wards. I don't know whether it was put in after all the creditors had signed. After 11r. George had signed the deed I paid the 171. Is. 4d. and 5/. I psi before. I know that the deed gives the creditors • composition of 2s. 6d. in the pound at six months ; but I paid Mr. George in full, althoutp eoa he had signed the deed. I don't suppose that Mr. knew anything about it. It was paid about the time of the execution of the deed, or shortly after. I was bank rupt on my own petition a few days ago, and filed and swore to • statement of debts. That statement contained the name of Mr. George as a creditor for 171. la. 4d., although I have paid him. Of course that state ment was made out from the other. At that time I had been committed by the magistrate for per jury in the first statement. John Monkhouse, of Waterloo-road, is put down as an assenting creditor for 231. I only owe him 101. I asked him to sign for 25/. Gave no inducement to him to do so. Walter Jeaner, of Worthing, is returned as an assenting creditor for 65/. I do not owe him anything. I cannot my I have ever seen him. The Registrar-Did you ever hear of him before? Thobankrupt -No, I cannot say I have. I saw his name in the deed ; that was the first I heard of him. (Laughter.) Mr. Goodman-Have you ever had any businees at Wor thing! Bankrupt-No. The Registrar-Have you ever been there? Bankrupt-No. (A laugh.) Mr. Peakall, of Cross-street, Walworth-road, appears as an assenting creditor for 130/. Sla. lid. I never owed him anything. He was a traveller for Messrs. Wiles and Sons, of Old Kent-road, to whom I owe 8/. or 10/. for oil. They do not appear in my list. I have no recollection of writing to Mr. Peakall, but I mentioned it to him. I gave him no inducement to sign the deed. James Robert Perfect, of Wellington-phase, Holloway, is an assenting creditor for 521. I owe him nothiug. I never had Ray business with him. I don't know whether Welchman or I asked him to sign. Thos. Smart, of Lower Wandsworth-road, appears as an assenting creditor for 144/. 10s. I did not owe him anything scarcely; under 10/. I do not know where he is now. He backed some bills for me, and I gave him my lease as security. I paid the bills at maturity ; but he sold the lease, and bolted with the money. He got 120/. for it, which he now owes me. I have not seen him since May last. I have never executed a composition deed before, or made any arrangement with my creditora. I have been in business as a grocer and tea dealer more than two years. I have not been applied to by other people to sign deedsfor sums they did not owe me, except in I'ortington's case. That is the only deed I ever signed. Mr. Goodman-Have you ever been asked, I mean ? Bankrupt-No. Mr. Goodman-Do you know it to be a common and ordinary thing to be asked Bankrupt-I have seen it done. I never did it myself. Mr. Goodman-Did any of those gentlemanto whom you went express any surpriao at your request, or make any difficulty about signing the deed ? Bankrupt-No ; I don't think they did. Mr. Goodman-You filed your petition in bankruptcy • few days after you were committed for trial for perjury ? Bankrupt-Yes. Mr. Goodman-Under your bankruptcy you hays filed a list of creditors, which contains every one of the names I have been reeding from the composition deed, and which list is also verified by your a ffi davit as a true list. After you knew that you were charged with perjury on the pre vious list did it ever occur to you that you were commit ting the same crime over again? Bankrupt-Well, it did not occur to me at the time. I was so harassed with oi• thing aid another that I did not know what I did. Mr. Goodman-Does it occur to you now? Bankrupt-I can see it now plainly. Mr. Coalman-Did you prepare a list and hand it to this Mr. Welchman? Bankrupt-I forget. I think he wrote it down to my dictation. I cannot be certain whether I handed him a list or not. I told him all the money I owed. I think I told him I owed about 600/. He told me that to make the deed binding it would be necessary to have a majority in number of the creditors, and, I think, three-fourths in amount. Mr. Goodman-Did the idea originate with you of intro ducing fictitious creditors to the amount of 1,000/. ? Bankrupt-No, it dial not. I think Welchman men tioned something of the kind. Mr. Goodman-Did he ask you to procure any names for the purpose of signing it ? Bankrupt- Yes ; he asked me if I knew of anyone who would sign it. Mr. Goodman-Anyone who would sign it without being really a creditor ? Bankrupt-Yes. I sail I could get some one to do it, and he offered to get some others. I think he procured Garner, Walter James, and Barnes. The last name I never heard of till I saw it in the list. I wont be sure whether he procured Perfect. They were all procured either by me or Welchman. He had the deed away for some time. Mr. Goodiutu-Did you make any demur when you saw that the total was brought to 1,000/. after you had told him that you enly owed 600/.? Bankrupt-Yes, I did. I said no one would ever believe it, or something of that sort. Mr. (;oilman-Did he persuade you to sign it and swear to the affidavit? Bankrupt-Yes. Mr. Goodman-After you had said that nobody would believe it? Bankrupt-Yes. I last saw Welchman about three weeks ago. When I was apprehended I sent for lira to defend me, but he did not come. I don't know his address ' • it. is somewhere at Holloway. He was engaged in Portington's deed. I have met him by ap pointment several times in Chancery-lane. I believe Garner knows where he is to be found. My friends are paying the expenses of these bankruptcy proceedings. The Registear -This case affords • very melancholy illus tration of the way iu which a law intended to facilitate arrangements between debtors and creditors is entirely frustrated by the schemes of designing parties. If there is to be any alteration of the law in this respect, it would be much better that there should be some inquiry into the bonafides of the signatures to deeds before they are admitted to be registered. It is most desirable that every endeavour should by made to bring the guilty parties to justice. It is a most scandalous case. A list of creditors containing the fictitious names was put into the bankrupt's hands ; he admitted that it was in his handwriting, and that he had written it after the charge of perjury was made against him. The bankrupt was then taken back to prison. COMIRTTAL !OS WILFUL MURDZIL Emily Norris, 23, was charged with concealing the birth of her illegitimate female child. _ . Mrs. Clara Hyde, of 4, Church-street, Chelsea, said, in September her children were ill and the prisoner was called in to attend to them. She remained two months, and, then her appearance exciting suspicion, witness asked to look in her box, and found in it the body of a female child dead. Prisoner said it warn hers. Wit ness gave information to the police. Mr. Inspector Prescott said that a coroner's inquest had been held upon the body of the child, and a verdict of " Found dead" had been returned. Mr. Thomas Aubrey Turner, 50, Paulton-square, Chelsea, member of the Royal College of Surgeons, said on the 10th of November he was called in and saw the prisoner and the child. He did not examine the prisoner. The child had breathed. There was a deep in dentation round the neck, and, in his opinion, he should not think that indentation had been caused by the um bilical cord. The child appeared to have met with a harsh death, as the feet and hands were drawn up. The child was a full grown one. (The prisoner has been in the workhouse ever since the witness Hyde discovered the fact.) Mr. Mansfield said to prisoner —Woman, I shall commit you for the wilful murder of your child. He then cautioned her. Prisoner was speechless, and was commited to Newgate. MARLBOROIYGH-STRERT. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS. Georpe Wilson, described as a painter, was charged be- s. fore Mr. Knox with having some pewter measures and a es large box of dominoes in his possession supposed to be Si stolen 91 Mr. Edward Pinder, landlord of the Globe Tavern, ! North Audley-street, said that for some time past he had missed several articles from his yard and kitchen, and 9/ suspected the prisoner, as after he had visited the house si something was always missed. Lest night the prisoner 9 through the house into the yard, and he (Mr. 9 .d Pinder) went on to the leads and watched him. The pri soner first tried the kitchen door, he then went to the larder, afterward. to a box where tin cans were kept, and then back to the larder, but a person going into the yard, the prisoner ran into the water-closet. He (witness) sub sequently gave the prisoner into custody. felioe-constable Alfred Burrows, 100 C, said that be took the prisoner into custody and to the station, where, on searching him, be found three pewter measures flat tened, the bottoms having been previously cut out—one of them bad the name of E. Chapman, Mount-street ; a second, C. Kelly, Star and Garter, Pall-mall ; and a third, T. R. Morris, Duke-street, St. James's ; the measures being tied round his body with a handkerchief. He also found a large box of dominoes, seven keys, two lockets, and a knifeused for the purpose of cutting the bottomsont of the measures. The prisoner gave a false address. Mr. Thomas Morrie, of 50, Duke-street, St. James's, identified the remains of one of the measures as his pro- Per 9 Y. Mr. Knox said there was no doubt the prisoner was an old pot-stealer, and he would remand him to see whether he was known. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAY!. GATION COMPANY.-( THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held this afternoon, at the offices in Leadenhall-street ; Mr. P. D. Hamm, deputy-chairman, presiding, in the un avoithble absence of Mr. Anderson from indisposition. The report, which was issued and published several days before, having been taken as read, The CRAIRMAN moved its adoption. Although, he said, the position of the company did not seem as encouraging as it had been, it was ready for anything that might turn up, and he believed the bowl would be enabled to conduct its affairs satistictonly to the shareholders. The company had enormous resources in the East, and had works at Bombay, which the committee of the House of Commons seemed to prefer as a means of communica tion, equal to any similar works in this country. (Cheers.) After some discussion, the report was adopted, a divi dend of 3 per cent. and a bonus of 2.! declared, and the proceedings terminated in the usual wanner. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.)

The workmen employed in the factory and other establishments at Chatham Dockyard have made applica tion for an additional day's holiday on the day preceding Christmas day, the additional time thus granted being previously made up by the hands working extra hoars. This will iliviate the necessity of lighting up the furnaces and the fires in the factory for one day only, and allow of the workmen taking a holiday from Saturday afternoon until the following Wednesday. Another fatal accident in Leeds has to be added to the melancholy list we published three weeks ago, arising froui the great floods which then inundated great tracts of country in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Yesterday morning, a portion of the flooring in the bobbin mill of Mesa's. Mortimer, in the Isle of Cinder, gave way, and a man named Pickersgill, who was working at the time, was precipitated into the goit which tuns by the side of the building. Though an expert swimmer, the current was so strong that the un fortunate man was carried down the stream, and his body has not yet been recovered. The foundations of the build ing were weakened, there is no doubt, by the fl ood, and the rains of the last day or two had again filled the stream and produced a freshet which caused the accident.—Leeds Mercury.

WRECK Or A SWEDISH SLOOP Or WAR.- REACCE or THE Case DT RWKFTS.—Con the evenin o f f blonday last, duri n g a strong south-westerly gale, weather very thick, with rain, the Swedish screw sloop of-war Orsuld, which had left Havre the same morning for Gottenborg, struck on the m.:in land at Jary's Gap, about five miles north-west of the light of Dungeness, acd be a wreck. The vessel at the time was in charge of a pilot licensed by the Triuity House, Hull. Of the crew and passengers on board (in all 17.4 persons( twelve were lost by the upsetting of two boats, which broke adrift before they were fully manned. The remainder 1121) were rescued by means of the rocket apparatus, worked by the coast guard stationed by the Roa d of Trade at Jury's-gap. It way be added that on hearing of the wreck thelifebmit of the National Lifeboat Institution at Rye immediately put off to the assistance of the shipwrecked crew : but finding they were being safely and expeditiously landedvesse by the rocket apparatus , an d the nearness a the l to the shore, and her position rendering it very dangerous to place the lifeboat alongside, the coxswain of the boat was compelled to beach ber through a heavy surf, most of the boats oars being broken in doing so. 06 88 LSO 10 0 0 18 16 4 6 66 U TO TS 117 119 25} 169 6 II 114 116 124 126 90 91 sli 191 SO 36 30 35 1351 1431 78 80 16* 171 10 10 1101 1174 81 811 47 48 132 143 1} I pm 101 let 86 87 121; It!
