LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Mellor and Shea.) In eon.equence of Mr. Justice Lush having to attend the Court of Criminal Appeal, the part-heard case of the lion. Mark Rolle r. White, which was an appeal against en order of the Salmon Fisheries Commissioners relative to the mode adopted by the appellant for catching salmon at the mouth of the Taw, in Devonshire, was further adjourned until Wednesday, the nest crown paper day. THE QI'E►.H T. WATSON. This w is a case from the East Riding of Yorkshire, and the question involved was whether a district called l'ranby was for civil matters, such as rating, as well as for ecele sisstleal matters, pert of the perish of Resale. Mr. Prideaos, Q.C., and Mr. (.ewers were counsel for •he :4ppellents. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., and Mr. Thompson t...r the respondents. .tfter the case had proceeded a short time it was found ?:ecessary to send the case back to be restated, relative to ,rtsin facts necessary to be ascertained before the court could come to a decision on the point raised. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Thinc9.7 . -(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and MI:. Justice Seating.) The court sat this morning, and having heard a few un important motions, called on several Can3s in the new trial Raper. The first case was that of Spence r. the Vision Marine Insurance Company, which was partly !nnrd but July, and before the court when it was very differontly constituted. The question involved was one of considerable difficulty, and the oourt,after some discussion, decided that they could not to-day go on with the argument. The two or three cases which stood nett had been tried before Mr. Justice Bylea, and as that learned judge's notes were taken mostly in shorthand, there was nobody who could read them. Under these circumstances the cove t rose at an early hour, there being no business which the judges could dispose of. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Barons Martin, Channel! and . Pigott.) Their lordships sat this morning, but no business being ready for them to proceed with, they soon afterwards adjourned the cowl. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Defore the Judge Ordinary.) MOM e. PEARrik AND DIOST. _ . This case was resumed this morning, when Mrs. Pearce contradicted in toto the allegations which her husband had made sga;est her in the written state ment he had prepared in order to justify his separation from her. She also detailed many other instances of ill-treat ment, which it was suggested were proofs of hallucina tion. For instance, the testator had made the acquaint ance of two ladies, af.:l he used to make her translate for him the letters of one of them who a.xote in German. He told her that he hoped she would soon " hop off," in order that he might marry one of his dear girls. He had also made the acquaintance of otherla, l ea. On one occasion he was passing letters to a lady at church during the whole of the service, and be afterwards took her home, ordering witness to go home by herself. He threatened to bring one of these ladies into the house, osten.•ibly as his daughter's governess, but really as his wife. On the birth of witness's second daughter he was very excited. He said he was very sorry that he had another child, because it had displeased the girl be loved, who thought that he must have retained some affection for witness. (In his written paper Mr. Pearse had given a different account of this quarrel, for he represented that it was his safe who was displeased.) He told w:tness that she was no true wife, or she would have consented to let it die. Witness was obliged to have a wet nurse, and the testator s►id the child had become her son. He used to call it by her name, and spit upon it. [The case was proceeding when our report left] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE BAYNHASI.:-APPLICATION FOR RELISARF, The bankrupt Fredk. Haynham, was described as of Harvey-street, Walworth-road, late dealer in meal and manures, prior to that a commission agent of Brabant court, Fencburcb-street. The debts are about 8001. There are two detainers against the bankrupt, and both creditors opposed. The objection was first taken that as the bank rupt WAS in custody under a z ulc of the Court of Common Pleas for the payment of coats, this was not a debt, but • contempt of court, and that this court could not interfere; but his Honour held that it was a debt. M it appeared that the bankrupt hail given two bills of sale, one just at the time he was sued, and had also made a deed of composition, and that he had no property to give up, to his creditors. His Honour said that as no benefit would accrue to the estate from the bankrupt's release, the case must take the ordinary course, and must stand over till after the choice of assignees. IN RE GREATORRX,7-NOVEL POINT RAISED UNDER A DEED. This was an application, at the instance of the overseers of the poor of St. Anne, Soho, for leave to issue execution against the debtor for 57t. due for poor and other parochial rates, notwithstanding • deed executed and registered under the l'J'lnd section. _ _ His Honour said it appeared that the overseers had obtained an order from the police court at Marlborough street for payment of the amount, but the warrant was not to issue until the leave of this court had been obtained in the usual form. Against this claim the debtor had set up a deed, which was registered on the Bird of October, 1866, whereby he undertook to pay • composition of the 6d. in the pound. He had sines executed two other deeds—one in March, 1867, and the other in September, 1867, promising in both to pay 2s. 6d. in the pound in six months. He now relied on the latter deed, abandoning the other two. The overseers contended that all those deeds were fraudulent ; but they first argued that supposing the deed to be valid in other respects, yet, as to 12 months' rates, they could not be compelled to accept • composition, but were entitled to be paid in full as in bankruptcy. No doubt if the debtor had been • bankrupt and had given up an estate sufficient to pay his creditors 2s. 6d. in the pound, the overseers would have been enti. tled to what they asked under the provisions of the act of 1861 ; and, if they applied in time, would have • right to payment before the other creditors recovered any dividend. Then, the 197th section of the act provided tint all the parties to a deed should have the benefit of, and be liable to, all the provisions of the act in the same or like manner as if the debtor had been ad judicated bankrupt and the creditors had proved ; and also gave them the same rights and remedies with respect to the debtor's estate and effects as in bankruptcy. The court was also directed to determine all questions arising under the deed according to the law and practice in bank ruptcy, so far as It might be applicable. Had the deed con taea an assignment of the estate to trustees the over seers would he entitled to the same rights as in bankruptcy —payment of 12 months' rates in full, and a dividend on the remainder; and there WWI nothing in the statute to show that the legislature intended it to be otherwise under composition deeds. On the other hand, all crodi ton under every such deed were to have the same rights as in bankruptcy. But it was contended on behalf of the debtor that the deed would no longer be a valid deed of composition if it gave a preference to any creditor. This was not so. There were necessarily classes of creditors who must, indirectly, if not directly, have larger payments than others. Creditors who bad security were entitled to payment in full to the extent of their security, and there was no reason why creditors to whom the legis lature, from motives of public policy, had given a statutable preference, should have that preference taken away at the mere option of the other creditors. The same reasons existed to render it desirable that a twelvemonth's rates should be paid in full under • deed of composition as in bankruptcy or by a deed of assignment; and unless there was something in the sta tute to lead to a clear inference that the legislature intended otherwise, it would be unlikely that such was the intention. The inference to be drawn from the words of the act, was, however, the other way. The case of " Williams v. Cadbury," 2, L. It., C. P., 443, was cited as decidedly that no distress for rent under • composition deed was available for more than 12 months ; and it was argued that if the 197th section was to be con strued in favour of the debtor, and to protect him as if he were a bankrupt, it seemed right that the cre ditors should have the same advantages as if the estate were in bankruptcy. But the deed i n that case was in reality one of assignment and did not quite determine the ques tion. There was no distinction in the statute between the classes of deeds, unless it were to be discovered in the words at the end of section 197," except where the deed shall ex pressly provide otherwise, the court shall determine all •luestions arising under the deed according to the law and practice in bankruptcy, so far as they may be applicable." No doubt that law and practieewould be more applicable to deeds of assignment than to deeds of composition ; but the court saw no reason why the provision for the payment of twelve months' pariah"' rates should not be applicable to both classes of deeds. The case of "Re Wetherell and another " (19, L. T., Magistntn' cases), cited by Mr. Lucas in opposition to the application, did not appear to be an answer to it. That ease de cided that a claim for poor-rate was barred by a certifi cate in bankruptcy ; and would be good authority to show that if the deed was binding on the overseen, they could not proceed against the debtor for the recovery of the rates. At any rate, to the extent to which this application was confined—a twelvemonth's rates—the deed was not binding on the overseers, and the order giving leave to them to issue execution to enforce payment should be made, the debtor to pay the costa of the application, THE POLICE - COITRTEI.

IN THE WOOD.—AFFECT ING RF-.4ULT or THE REHEARCH.—The fate of three young children who were lost from Daylesford on Sunday, June 30, and who were for some time searched for in the most persevering manner by all the inhabitants of the town and surrounding district, was at length elucidated in a painful manner, by the discovery of their itlll4lllB on the 13th inst. The attention of • man named kfliay being attracted by observing that his dog was carrying a child's boot with a portion of • foot in it, the news was circulated, and • party got together to renew the relinquished search. The bodies were, after some searching, discovered near the hut of bl'lCay, on the the Mack Creek, near the saw-mill. Two of the unfor tunate children were in the cavity of • hollow tree, where it seems that they bad crawled in and huddled together, to endeavour to keep each other warns. Of the third only a few bones and the skull remained, and it was thought that this body had been dragged out by dogs. From the appearances presented, there seemed to be no doubt that the children bad in their wanderings found their way impeded by • brush fence; that, it being night, they were unable to see that by following along the fence for only a couple of hundred yards they would get to the hut of ll'Key ; and that they bad turned into the hollow tree to shelter from the bitter aold of the wet winter's night, thinking, pro bably, to find their way by the aid of the fence without difficulty in the morning. They must then have lain and slept and died together. It was felt as a very melancholy consideration the fact that the poor children bad reached o near help and yet failed to fi nd it. T wo o f th em were rothers, named Graham ; the other was named Burman. he remains were interred in Daylesford, where it is pro oiled to erect a monument by public subscription over heir graves.—Melbourne Argus, Sept. 27. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1867. The in the service of Messrs. Make, Son, and Ste, eoitcitors, Arthur-street, City. Ou the 21st October last Mr. Shea wrote a letter to Mr. Peachcott, solicitor, Plymouth, and placed it, together with a cheque for 44/3a. ltd. on the prisoner's desk, for the purpose of being addressed and posted. The latter arrived at Mr. Peachcott's, but without the cheque, and it appeared that on the following day, the 22nd October, the prisoner presented the cheque, which was payable to onler at the London and County Bank, with the endorse ment written on the back, and also the words " For cash, B. S. and 5., " which Mr. Shea believed to be in the handwriting f the prisoner. Mr. Peachcott wrote a letter, saying that the cheque had not been inclosed in the letter, but this note never reached Mr. Shea's hands. The prisoner afterwards absconded, but was apprehended NSergeant Spittle, in the Haymarket, on the 11th of vember. Mr. Ahleinian Luak committed him for trial. SOLITHWARK. __ THE NEW STREET: ACT AND THE. POLICE. Mr. Dart uport, the extensive potato salesman in New Southwark-greet and the Borough Market, appeared be fore Mr. Burcham to answer five summons obtained by the police for causing an obstruction in New Southwark street by allowing five carts to remain in the said street. Mr. Hicklin, of Trinity-square, Borough, appeared for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of Stevens, 66 M, that on Saturday morning the 2nd inst., he was on special duty in New Southwark-street near the Borough Market, when be saw five carts laden with vegetablesdrawn up in front of Mr. Davenport's premises,wbere they remained from 6 o'clock till about 8, when after having unloaded they were removed. The horses were taken from them and the shafts put up and placed in a line, and as soon as the goods were removed the homes were brought back and the vehicles taken away. In answer to Mr. lficklin witness said that there were two passages left open between them for the public to pass, eta"he considered it an otrittnction as people could not ' pass between the other vehicles. In answer to Mr. Beecham witness said that the carts were there from between 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning, and there were very few people about, except those going to purchase goods of Mr. Davenport and others. The cart, came from the country growers consigned to Mr. Daven port. Mr. Aurelian asked if he saw any actual ob-truction. Witness replied that people could not pass freely from the pavement into the roadway. Mr. Burcham asked him if ho saw anybody obstructed in that way. Witness replied in the negative. Mr. Mitcham thought the police hail better be on the look-out for thieves, and attend to the wholesale obstruc tions in the street during the middle of the day, than interfere in such a matter. ..... - Mr. II icitlin enured hisworahipthat biselient had nowiah to cause an obstruction in the street; in fact it would be an injury to his business, which was very extensive. These carts were brought from the countij laden with goods and placed in that part of the street which was so wide that in the middle of the day they corld cause no obstruction. As soon as they were unloaded they were removed. Mr. Bonham again expressed his ituFgnstion that the constable had not been more profitably employed in the interest of the public. There was no case made out against the defendant, therefore all the summonses were &I missed. WANDSWORTH. THE TP.A I. PIC REGULATION ACT.-THE ENCLOSURE OP OPEN SPACE.4.-IMPORTANT QUESTION. .Vl:thelf, a shopkeeper, in Iliten'-tei: Wandsworth-read, was summoned under the new Traffic ites,olation Act for placing vegetables on the open space be tween the footpath and his shop. The defendant reminded the magistrate of his former decision when he dismissed a summons for the same offeme as he proved that the ground belonged to him. Mr. baynaan said the decision was given under the old act, ho then being of opinion, as well as the majotity of the macistrates, that a shopkeeper could use his own ground if not fenced off, for by using it he kept up his right. Under the new act, as long as the ground was used as a footpath the shopkeeper could not place his things upon it. As he used to tell the parties before the act passed, the sooner they fenced off the ground the better for thew. The proper way was to put up a couple of posts with a chain, and so pai t off that portion which the de fendant claimed. So I.oon as the defendant allowed bis open space to be used by the public he must keep it free of obstructions. Several other shopkeepers in the same tewace were also summoned, and were in the same position. Mr. Hayman advised them to enclose 'donee, for if they did not their ground might be considered as having been dedicated to the public. Inspector Bushnell said he had given a general caution. In some cases the shopkeepers had enclosed their open spaces, and the parish officers intended to try the right. One shopkeeper complained that last Saturday six Ml tel.nongers' barrows stood round his door. It was hard upon him that he was not allowed to show his goods while the coatermongen had theirs exposed. Inspector Bushnell said the police removed the coster mongers as fast as they were able. Mr. Dayinan said there was nothing in the new act to put a stop to castermongering. The coster.notiger had no right to make stand. in the streets. They could only stop to serve a customer and nos any longer. One of the shopkeepers who was summoned said be had put up posts and rails but he had taken them down again as he was afraid of accident, his neighbours not having enclosed thei• ground. He thought be would be liable to damages if •midents occurred. Mr. Hayman dismissed the summons and said the public must take care to avoid the posts in the same way as the wall of a house. On this csxasion he ordered the other defendants to pay the costs only. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) SATURDAY, NOVVILUiI 16, 8 A.N. Extrento. /1 4 7 Z W._ 1 1l D. *--. W. _I _ I v.

NONE Y MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) On o'Osacs. In the Stock Exchange to-day the principal feature is a further important fall in British rail way securities, owing to additional large specu lative operations. Caledonian has been forced for sale, and was dealt in at one period as low as 752. A partial reaction has since occurred, yet the present quotation is 1 per cent. worse than yesterday. The total reduction in this stock during the present week amounts to fully 10 per cent. Consols and some of the foreign bonds, however, are inquired for, and have risen 1-16 to ;. per cent. Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares remain dull. The Indian Five per Cent. stock is still in demand, notwithstanding the recent important advance. The applications for discount to-day are not very numerous, but thereto for the best three months' bills is fractionally higher, at 11 to 11 per cent. Consols are quoted 944 to q, with div., for money, and 93 to 1, ex div., for the account (Decem ber 5). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are at 921 to I. British railway stocks have again given way, Caledonian has been freely offered, and the pre sent price, though not the worst of the day, is 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. Midland, Lanca shire and Yorkshire, and Great Northern have de clinedl, and the other lines to 1. Annexed are the quotations :—Metropolitan, 1201 to ; Great Western, 44} to 451 ; London and North Western, 1121 to 113 ; Midland, 115 k to ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1201 to f ; Caledonian, 77 to 1 ; South Eastern, 63} to 1 ; Great Eastern, 30 to} ; Great Northern, 1071 to 1081 ; ditto A, 1101 to 1 ; Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, 171 to ; North British, 32:i to 331 ; and Brighton, 511 to 52.

American securities show firmness. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted 701 to being per cent. higher; Erie Railway shares, 474 to 48, showing no variation ; and Illinois Central, 85 to 4—a rise of I per cent. - Anglo-American Telegraph shares aro firm, at 181 to and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent.

A long report has been issued by the liquidators of the London and Mediterranean Bank, in which they describe fully the present disastrous posi tion of that undertaking.
