The facia were not disputed, and the case rated entirely upon points of law arising under the will, the Insolvent Acta and the Statute of Limitations. There was a mass of pleading, replications, rejoinders, etc., raising and denying and reasserting every possible point that could be cooceived by the ingenious mind of a special pleader. The Lord Chief Justice said it was • maas of pleadings that was of no nos to anyone. It was • waste of paper and expense, and it was an abuse of the powers of pleading, for it raised the most unnecessary Mmes. Mr. Gibbons said he objected to the pleadings at &am bers, but the learned judge allowed them. On the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice, the learned counsel arranged to take a verdict for the defendant subject to a special case, as the points in dispute were points of law.

(THIS DAY.) (Before the Roomier.) BRITTLE BILRFEIG. my Pwrell, 30, described u a pianoforte maker, and Irmiase h, 34, described as a fishmonger, ...recharged nith stealing the sum of 91. 13a., the moneys of John laitisell Chambers. Orridge prawn ted, and Mr. Ribtoo defended. Thu charge, it appeared arose from skittle sharping ; and appeared that on the afternoon of February last the pro *tutor, while in Fleet-street, was aooosted by • man, with +horn he got into conversation. and who de ,:ribed himself as • medical student. At the pro posal of the stringer they both shortly afterwards adjourned to a public-house, where they =lied for something to blk. While them they met the prisoner Po.dl, wbogot into couvereation with the medical student, and th talked trot about playing cricket, sad at last about weight,, one offering to het that he would throw • weight • certain number of yards. During the conversation the insoner Powell said he bad just had about 6,0001. left Lim, and proposed that they should go to • pleas where there was a skittle ground sod the necessary weight to test their strength. They went in a cab together to another house, where they saw the peisoaar Finch, and Powell asked hiss if his skittle gronnd was long *sough to throw the weight,. Finals said it was not, and after some croovseistirs Powell took op a skittle ball, and said it was stone, and the mcdieal student said it was wood. After throwing the ball tt,out, Powell sod the student began to play, asd• bet of TICE EXPRESS, TUESDAY MINING, r r>/. each was proposed. The prosecutor had not sufEcient to make up Gl., and the student leot biro 11. 15s. to make it up. The bet was made and the pm* prooeeded, sod the result was that the prosecutor lost his mosey. Another pale was proposed for 21., and the prosecutor was allowed to win that sum, but the whole of the money was net banded over to him, the 11. 15a., which was lent him by the student being retained, and in another game he lost i hts des A bet of 101. each wan then propoeed, but the prose cutor had not the money, and the student proposed that he should take his watch sad chain, and have the watch pledged for • small sum and that the student should hold the ticket as • security for the payment of the money if he lost, but be was told he was Eire to win. The watch and chain were given by the prosecutor to a man who he thought was • waiter, and it was pledged for G/. He. Powell proposed that the prosecutor should give an LO.IJ. for the balance of 31. 5e., which he did, and Powell gave the name of Frederick Pearce, and described himself as of Morley's Hotel. The gams wee played, and ended in the prosecutor losing his watch and chain. The student then said that they would play smother game for 101. ; that he and the prosecutor had only to go out for ten minutes, and they would procure 10'., and if they were allowed to go out they would do so. The student then left, taking the prosecutor with him, and when outside the house, he said it was not likely they would get 101., and said the beet thing they could was to get away as soon as possible now that they had lost their money, adding, " You had better run that way sad I'll go this." and immediately ran off as fast as he could. The prosecutor then had an hies that he had been robbed, and 'poke to • constable, but nothing more was seen of any of the men until the 24th of February last , whim the prosecutor met the two prisoners in the Strand, and gave them into custody, and • quantity of gilt medals were found on them. The prisoner Finch, it appeared, acted in such • manner as to lead to the supposition that he was the landlord of the house at which skittles were played; bat it appeared that the land lady of the first house they went in saw heck there, while the prosecutor and the student were there, and as soon as the proposal to adjourn , to another house was made, he left. The cue which it wail endeavoured by the prosecution to make out against the prisoners was that the motley was stolen by means a a , ek. The Recorder, however, said he did not see that the charge of larceny could be supported b 7 the facts as they had been represented, sad the prisoners were wooed iogly acquitted upon that indictment. There wu a second indictment, which charged the prisoners with conspiring to defraud the prosecutor of hie money, which wu proceeded with, upon t h e same facts; but the court again ruled that they were insuiltaient to rapport the charge. The prisoners had, no doubt, been guilty of a trick, but the prosecutor had made the bet with his eyes open. The prisoner were consequently acquitted, the Recorder advising Powell to be very careful in future, u be said it was not the tint time he had been in a similar scrape. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) WLNDSWORTH. C 1111101.78 CRAW! OF FIWFT. Montague Dyer, ;1; warn deiToribea on the sheet u being • gentleman of no fixed residues, was placed in the dock before Mr. Ingham, changed with stealing a pin and • black leather bag, the property of Mrs. Ellen Allen, • married woman, residing at Ao. 13. Westmoreland-street, Pimlico. The proseentrix, a styliahly-dressed woman,said she mimed the articles while staving at Falcon.villas for • month, for the benefit of her - little boy, and where the young gentleman (the prisoner) was in the habit of visiting her as a friend, he having lodged with her. Sbe had been very kind to him, and he need to come for his collars and shirts, which were got up by a laundress she fund for him. She denied positively that any improper intercourse ever took plaee between Mr. Ingham —Then he simply visited you for his collars Witness—Yes; be was in such a distressed state, sod represeuted that he had no home, that he got the better of my judgment. Mr. Ingham—Then it was partly out of kindness and partly for his collars. (Laughter.) At the request of the prisoner Dome letters which were found upon him, in the handwriting of the proesentrix, were read by his wonbip. Mr. Ingham asked the prosecutrix whether she bad been in the habit of addressing the prisoner as "a dear." The prosecutrie replied that she might have done so, u she was frequently using those words. She also stated that her husband was in America. The prisoner, in defence, said that he was introduced to the proucutrix jut before Christmas last, and he cohabited with her u man and wife, until a mouth ago, when he told her that he was determined to leave her. The bag she brought to his lodgings with his clean collars, and she had been annoying him ever since. Mr. Ingham thought that, after what bad occurred, the prosecutrix would not prase the charge ; but he would take the prisoner's recognisance for his appearance on a future day, to give her an opportunity of considering what course she would adopt. 1 The prosecutrix said if Mr. Dyer would make an apology for stating that he had lived with her the would not proceed further with the case. Mr. Ingham then discharged the prisoner, who refused to make an apology. W 81. 10 81. 81. SHARD LIaTIL—MIIIB DAY.) Two 0'01.005..

ORDINARY SILUIRS AND STOCKS. 101 I 100161 igml 1864. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Clocw. The stock markets were favourably influenced this morning by the announcement that an armistice has been concluded between the Germans and the Danes, and so bad effect was consequently produced by the confirmation of the statement circulated yesterday afternoon of the fresh rise in the rate of discount of the Bank of France. Moat classes of securities are now quoted rather better than they closed yesterday. The English funds, and several of the speculative foreign stocks have risen 4 to per cent. In some of the home railway stocks the advance is more decided. The discount market is very quiet to-day, and the supply of money large. The quotation fur choice three months' bills is 9 to 4 per cent. Consols are now quoted 914 to 4, with div. for money, and 90f to f, ex div., for the account (June 8). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 914, 4,4, /, >4 ; ditto for ac count, 904, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 884, 894, 881, 894 ; New Three per Cents., 89, 881, 894, 881, 891 ; Bank Stock, 237. 290 ; India Five per Cent.

Foreign stocks are firmer. Turkish Consolidds are quoted 501 to 511 ; Mexican, 44 to I ; and Spanish Passive, 341 to 1, being in each case k to I higher than yesterday. Greek Bonds are steady at 221 to 23*, and Confederate at 65 to 67. Turkish Bonds of 1858 and 1862 have risen about per cent., the former being now quoted 681 to 69, and the latter, 701 to 71. Trans actions are recorded as follows: Danish, 1864, scrip, 4 prem. ; Egyptian, 100, 101 ; Greek, for account, 23f, 1, 221, / ; Italian, for account, 671 ; Mexican, for account, 441, ; Portuguese, 1856, kc., for account, 471 ; Russian, 1862, 851, 86, 851, ex div. ; Spanish, for account, 521, 3 ; ditto New Deferred, for account,4sl ; ditto Passive, for account, 341,1, ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 681, ; ditto, 1862, for account, 71, ; ditto 100/.

Renter opened at 66fr. 80c., being about 1 per cent. better than yes terday. International Financial shares are now quoted 6 to k prem. ; General Credit, 51 to 6 prem. ; Mercantile Credit, 11 to 1 ; Hudson's Bay, 19 to f ; Credit Mobilier, 4 to 1 prem. ; Imperial Financial, 41 to 5 prem. ; Credit Foncier (Great Britain and Ireland), 41 to 5} prem. ; City Offices Company, Ito 1 prem.; International Land Credit Company, 2to prem. ; Tele graph Cdnstruction and Maintenance, 1 to 4 prem. ; Millwall Ironworks, If t 3 4 prem. ; Im perial Bank of China, 1 to lf prem. ; and Humber Iron Works, f to lf prem. The demand at the Bank of England yesterday, though still to a good extent, is resuming its ordinary character, while the market generally has become very quiet, the extraordinary rates now current naturally causing holders of bills to keep them back in the hope of a decline. At the same time there has been a large increase in the supply of money put upon the market by firms who over provided themselves during the recent pressure. More willingness has consequently been shown to discount good bills at 9 per cent. It is an indication of the stste of opinion that six months bills meet with increased inquiry at 9 to 10 per cent, but this quotation is little more than nominal, scarcely any paper of this description being on offer. Houses desirous of keeping large reserves in readi ness for all eventualities continue to offer money on short loan in the Stock Exchange, and the supply there has consequently become so large that the rates on English government securities, which last week were as high as 9 per cert., yes terday sunk to 6. "he large sum of 203,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. The greater portion of this amount was brought by the Etna from New York, and the rest formed part of 50,000/. in French gold coin which arrived yesterday, in consequence of the present high value of money. This is a feature of much importance, and affords an illustration of the extent of the pressure which is being put upon the continental markets for our relief. About 250,0001. more in gold is understood to be on the way to England from the mane quarter. The 67,5001. 'Australian by the Dover Castle has been taken to be refined, after which it will probably be sent into the Bank. The arrival was announced yesterday of the Star of Tasmania, from Otago 01. Z.), with 83,0001. A further considerable amount of gold is expected to be bought by the Bank during the next few days. Some trifling orders having been received from India, the bar silver by the last West India packet was sold yesterday for that quarter, at Os. Id. per ounce, being id. below the price obtained for the previous remittance. In the interval the market has been very flat, with an absence of business. Mexican dollars are neglected. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Thursday next a special settling day in the 7,000 new shares of the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (Limited), which, however, are not to be marked at present ; and Friday next a special settling day in the shares of the following com panies :—Telegraph Construction and Maintenance (Limited), National Financial (Limited), and Con tinental Union Gas (Limited), all of which are to be officially marked. In the latter instance the settlement officially applies to bargains effected on and after the 28th April, the date of delivery of the allotment letters. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5861. over last year, and the South Eastern an increase of 1,1921. A general meeting of the London snd Lisbon Corkwood Company (Limited) is called for the 19th inst., when a dividend is to be declared. A special meeting of theMuswell-hill Land Com pany (Limited) is called for the 24th Mat, to con firm the resolution passed on the 21st ult. for wind ing up the undertaking. The share certificates of the Telegraph Construc tion and Maintenance Company (Limited) will be ready for delivery to-day (Tuesday). The deed of accession relating to the stb extension capital, 2nd issue, of the Madras Railway Company , is now lying for signature. We aie requested to state that the share list of the Imperial Wine Company (Limited) will be dosed to-day. _ _ _ Messrs.
