DEATH OF MISS EDOEWORTH. - It is stated in Saunders' Nears Letter of this morn ing that an illustrious Irishwoman, Maria Edgeworth, is no more. She died after a few hours' Mocks, at Edgeworthstown, on the morning of Monday. Up to a very recent period she had been in the possession of excellent spirits and health, and velately I was con • with a visitor to Miss eworth, who described her as exhibiting in adva nced years all the features of her marked character. She was still un commooly active and obligisg, without any of the spleen of old age. Her disposition to be useful and of service to others was shown to the last. She was greatly beloved in her family, and respected by all who &id the valued privilege of intercourse with see of so many accomplishments, and such entire absence of affectation. The respect which Sir Walter Sant felt for her is well known ; and in her novel of " Helen" she has paid a glowing tribute to his memory, designating him as "the most perfectly delightful person she had ever known in life." The present grown-up generation owe her an enormous debt of gratitude for her reformation of children's hooky, t ho ugh the object of mere utility has, in some respects, been too exclusively followed in some of her works for the young. Her name will be prominent in literary and scientific history with those of Hemana Joanna Baillie, Somerville, and other gifted women, as showing that the fair sex can attain to intellectual eminence of the highest rank, without losing the charm of its modesty, or being corrupted by worldly applause. The ablest criticism on her writings is from the pen of the late Lord Dudley, in the Quarterly Renew foe 1810.

His lord. ship said it wee melended - that the plaistiffe were not end the bagels der order, bat that it ought to be dim thieged without repel to the merits of the case. The = the aoplisaMea was that the Lord Chancel=iatma, and et the dam of the man and AM, was in In the matter in question in the eases. The suit related to swish which the deinadant claimed to be entitled em The at ti ife were • joint stock company, and the pre =were entitled to shares in the company, and; the lee losg before, sal at the date of the order, was the peemistor of certain shares. It was alleged that here wee each an interest is the property of the company attached to the shares that the Chancellor was entirely thereby ieespentated from making the order in question. The vales of the shares of a joint stook company depended ft the market pries el the day, or the meant of assets which there might be on winding up the dram. It mold be a strange notice to suppose that It could hem any Islam's es the raiod of 'judge, although it might be more esfikimatisy le being • matter relating to the company Were a biting no such interest. The fed that the Lord Chemerßer was the owner of the shares was communicated to Dime sahrequently to the order, and he said that he was not aware Olt at the tame the cedar was made. It wee not al- I.ged that the Lord Chancellor had it in his mind when he made ihe order, that he was interested in the matter in quee n= its the same ; and Dimes, when he discovered the inte rest, sigh. have applied to have the cause re-heard, and it might have been re-heard before the Lord Chancellor and other judges. But he relied on the ground of the judge's incapacity, and contended that the order was null and void. This was a technical objection, and he made the nullity of the order the ground of his application. There was no cogni tion as to the validity and importance of the general rule, that no one ought to be the judge in his own cause, and that no judge ought to do a judicial act in • muse in which he wee interested. This was a fundamental and important rule, and ought not to be departed from without necessity. And is ell eases in which there were several courts of co-ordi nate jurisdiction, or several judges in one court, there was no difficulty in acting on the rule. But eases might arise in which the Me must give way, or there would be a failure of justice. Where the sole jurisdiction was vested its one judge, with tuba/Mate judges or deputies whose orders were not valid until adopted by the superior judge, a ems might arise in which it would not be possible to act on the rule, without • denial of justice. The Lird Chancellor was vi rtually the mkt judge in Chancery ; and, notwithstanding his position as such, he might sue and be sued in the Court of Chancery. That cess was provided for in practice, by addressing the bill le the Queen herself, in her High Court of Chaneery. Amid le seek mots the cause ought to be heard before the Master of the Rolls, with or without assistance, and the deems, though formally made by the Master of the Roils, would be the decree of the *overdo. But this practise would not sestet in a ere like the preeest, in which the Lord Chancellor was not so interested es le be • necessary party to the suit. Every order mode by the Malta of the Rolls, or the Vice Chaneeller, wen subject to be reheard and div eressilimed by the Chenceller alone. Aced it must be W”led by hint berme It could be deemed to be a final order. And there must, therefore, be a failure of justice if the Lad Massa" meld not act in such • ems. And the het that he wee a proprietor of Bank stock, or Bait India Meth, sr a Metes of the British Museum, would, if the ar gument ice Dimes were to prevail, inespasitate him from doing any judicial nets is suits to which those companies or bodies were parties. Other cases might be put of the same met, in which the kneed. of individuals were such as not to make it aecessary that they shoal be parties to the came. Mappens', in this ease, that the filmed of the Lord Chan cellor had been known to Dimes when the Vise. Chancellor made his order, the Lord Chancellor being incapable, ac cording to the argument, of hearing the cause, Dimes might have deeirilipeal to the Home of Lords ; but he could not have to the House of Lords until be had en rolled the and he mull not have enrolled the decree until it was eigsed by the Commencer. But, if the argument was coned, that signature could not he given. The sigma tare M the Chancellor to the decree of a subordinate judge for the pews of appoling to the House of Lords limed, he emeseded, merely a saidenal set, but it was • judicial act, and le might refuse to sign the decree if he thought fit to hear theorem himself. According, therefore, to the amusing el Dimes, the Chancellor could not have le gally Itheilds signature te the Vice-Chancellor's decree, and the Hewn of Leeds meld set have heard the ippon. And if the Vies•Chaeseller's Wier wee erommas, as alleged, there would hare hem • ham of justice. He was of opinion that the aomment el Dimes was fallacious. With regard to what Dimes might to have done when he found out the Lad Claseeeller's interest, he was of opinion that he sould act =Zo e thatPU" for Plater of " 'Rioremantod be by the wheat the muss.

The' eggement was involved in absurdity. It might be admitted that where a strict adherence to the rule in question would sot lead to a failure of justice, the judge ought not to make an order ; but he ought to act, if his refusal to do so womb! mount to a denial of justice He was of epialea that a judge could not be legally incapacitated from doing any set within his peculiar jrisdidion if the effect of Ids refusal would be • denial of ustice. &judge must have in mess of this kind a certain degree ef tfiffettm, and if there were other judges having • eis-erdinate jurisdiction he might get them to hear the muss. But If the judge had the sale jurisdiction in the matter, as ma the case of the Lord Chancellor, he must act, or there would be a imbue of justice. Applying these pea -1 fte i to the present ems, he thought the Chancellor properly have signed the Vice-Chancellor's decree, might properly, if no party objected, have directed the cause to be heard before another judge; or, if either party ob jected to this course, he might have rotund to hear the cause and is mach case the parties might have appealed to the House of Lords. But if the Roues of Leeds meld not bear the appeal unless the coder were made by the Lord Chan cellor, it would have been his duty te hear it is prevent • denial of jostles, however painful it might be to himself to do se.

This was an action tried at Lewis, to recover 2.561., which was claimed by the plsiatiff, for keeping and training three race horses belongin; to the defendant. A verdict Bland for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the court. A rule wee subsequently obtained to enter the verdict for the de fendant. Mr. Serjeant Slue and Mr. Bevil' were heard for the defendant last term. Mr. Wyatt now addressed the court for the plaintiff. The question was whether the plaintiff had • lien on three horses, which he had trained for the defendant, and the ordinary cheep for which was two gullies. each per week, inelading the keep of the animals. The learned gentian= contended, on the autho rity of two eases decided by Lord Wynford (Jackson and Comig, and Start and Morgan), that hems in the keeping of a t rainer were in his constructive possession, and, there• fore, that he had a lien upon them. Mr. Baron Fake, in a ales of Bevan and Waters, bad held a contrary opinion, de ciding that, as a horse in training was like • horse at livery, the owner could take it away whenever he pleased, and the trainer wield not, therefore, be said to have a lion apes it. The leaned counsel argued against this ruling of the learned bares, contending that a horse under training was seldom in a condition to run, and, therefore, the rossiesion of the trainer was not of so frail a character as that of • livery stable keeper ; and, moreover, when taken to the rice-course to run, the jockey was generally the servant of the trainer, and he did not even then part with the possession of the animal. In this case, although the jockey was not the servant of the trainer, be was actually paid by Dim, end not by the owner, and, therefore, pro has vice, he was the servant of the trainer. The learned conned submitt . d that, under these dream damns, the possession of the hones was neither restricted, qualified, or conditioned, and that the plaintiff clearly had • rum upon them. Mr. Ogle followed on the sane side. The Court were of opinion that it was clear from the evi dence that part of the contract between the plaintiff and de fendant was that the defendant was to have possession of hie horses whenever be liked, for the purpose of retuning at a rice or otherwise ; and, therefore, it could not be said that they were in the constructive possession of the plaintiff, and that he could have a lien upon them. The rule must, accordingly, be made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—YESTERDAY. ammo. no Rum*. FRAMILIST O. AVE;;D:-:4370PP1P10 • Nova AT THZ RUM. This was an action on the case for maliciously stopping a 501. note at the Bank of England, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty. At the trial • verdict pared for the plaintiff, damages 1101. The plaintiff was the keeper of a beer-shop, and the defendant a brewer. It speared the plaintiff having . disposed of his business, the defendant attended to receive payment of 401., due to him. The plain tiff on this occasion handed the 501. note in cines'ion to de fendant, asking him for 101. in change, which be was about to get, but plaintiff snatched back the note out of defendant's band. In sousequence, the defendant next morning went with • pollens:um to the Bank of England, and gave notice to stop payment of the note, on the ground of its having been fraudulently ob tained from him. It was retained at the bank, and not given up to the plaintiff until three weeks afterwards under an interpleader order. A rule for a new trial had been obtained on the ground there wu no evidence at the trial of malice on the part of defen dant; and secondly, because the damages were excessive. Mr. Serjeant Chadwick Jones showed cause against the rule, and Mr. Bushey, Q C., was heard in support of it. The Court said there was no doubt there was evidence to go to the jury of malice ; and ultimately the damages were clued by consent.

The plaintiff in this case effected a policy of insurance for 1,0001. with the defendants upon a certain vessel which was afterwards lost. The company refused to pay the amount of the policy, whereupon an action seas brought against them, and judgment for the sum claimed recovered by r. Hassell. Soon afterwards they became bankrupt, and their affairs were raunder the management of the Bankruptcy Court. The gtent remained unsatisfied, as the company had, as such, no property whatever available for that purpose, and the present application was made for leave to issue a wire facia against Earl Talbot, who (whilst Viscount loestre) had be ams the proprietor of a great many shares in the under taking. Mr. J. Wilde, in support of the application, coatended that the plaintiff ought to be at liberty to proceed against the shareholders in their individual character, and that the judgment obtained would never be realised unless they were made personally responsible for the debts of the company. Er. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Creasy, were heard at great length against the application. They contended that Earl Talbot was not penman, liable. At all events, that he was not liable until the plaintiff had exhausted the remedies afforded him in the Coast of Chance , wader the provisions of the Joint Stock Companies Win -up Act (11 &12 z 1 Viet.. e. 45). By the terms of the icy effected by the plaintiff he had undertaken to hot the property of the company, and not that of the shareholders or director, indi vidually, responsible for such claims as he might have. And it WY also expressly provided in the policy that no indivi dual shareholder should be liable for the contracts of the emeepaay beyond the amount of his subscription on the tiaras held by him. As the plaintiff had snouted to those terms, he should be obliged now to look to the assets of the essepany, and net to the members of it individually. Mr F. Pollock, C. 8., said, as the questions raised involved Me eonatruction of a very important skeet parliament. se hich wee only recently weed, and as many other cues might be materially affected by the decision in this, the court would take time to consider their judgment.

The plaustiff is a gentleman's servant at present out of employment ; the defendant, a Mr. Peter Ro gers, a awn retired from basins., and living near Ra vesstock hill, The plaintiff was in dehodant's service last year as footmen, but was discharged (as the defendant's counsel subsequently admitted) oaly on account of his not being able to shave his =agar properly. Same time after, the defendant's house was entered at night and a felony was committed under the circumstances detailed in the evi dence ; and the defendant suspecting that the plaintiff had committed the burglary and foamy, caused him to be taken into custody on a Saturday evening, and he was kept at the police station-house till the Monday nternieg, when he was taken before the sitting magistrate at Worship street, who after inquiry diem' sed the charge. The defendant hanne refined either to admit his error or to make reparation for the injury thereby infiitted on the plaintiff 's character—an injury which prevented him from earning a livelihood by his calling—the present proceedings were commenced.

Mr Rogers replied that he had suspicion of Lamy, who had • lived with him a month previously as footman, and that during that time he had missed a 61. note from his desk, add ing that he now lived soisewhere about Petticoat lane. Winters was thermos directed to take him into custody, but he did not succeed in finding Laity's lodgiogs till Ss turd., the 28th. unii, on being informed of the purpose of the visit, expressed his readiness to go along with the Tao. liesams, aad at ones showed his boxes; and a female who was present invited the officer to *such the house, but no thing was hued. Lacey was than taken through the streets to Mr. Roger's howls, a distance of from four to five miles. Mr. Rogers sold ha was quite satisfied that Lacey was the man he had seen in his bedroom on the musing of the robbery; he haw him by his voice. They thee mane the station.honse in Albany-street, about a mile a& Kim, the sareeest on duty, mid as it was a sena= wine • man it would be was for Mr Bogen t o the matter before he mesa the aerie. Reams maid h e was quite positive es to Ike nen, sad be *ma make the charge. basy was accordingly locked up till Monday mendag, when he was taken before the magiwate, en d t h e charge wee dismissed. Crosausmined by Mr. Cockburn.—Wituese examined the bees, at Uaventock-hill. The robber had got in by bessMig a pane of kiss* in the back kitchen window and aides Mes slater. The shatters elide rep and down, and the seam whist' should have fastened them together was not hullalanheg. A desk and a cupboard-door had been brolun ILL Rogers stated that between 5 and 8 o'clock is =Denim he was awakened by a noise in his bed-room, ea he bend that a man was snaked's to remove his tremors. Re jumped out of bed, and approached the sea for the purpose of setting bias, but the man threw a assaher Misalil at him, exclaiming " D— you, I will do for yea." Begets stated that the man lad a cloak cape over his LIMN but he knew the voice as that of Lary. The man surd, locking Mr. Rogers In bin own room. Mr. Rogers mentioned a previous lets of 61 from his locked desk as ot e of the circumstances that induced him to suspect Lacey. At the police court Lacey proved that he was at borne on the night of the robbery—a young man swearing that they had slept together. The charge was, therefore, dismisses , . On re-examination, the witness said that an attempt had been made by the robber to esterby the clod w Uer door,which was open • but finding a door in the passage bolted, the en trance had been effected by the back-kitchen window. Sergeant Sing gave corroborative evidence, especially as to the fact that be had cautioned Mr. Rogers to be sure as to the identity of the man before he pressed so grave a ch arg. Mr .Cockburn then addressed the jury for the detandant. Kr. Rogers did not say that the plaintiff was guilty of the Alony which had been imputed to him, but he contended that the house had Item burglarionelv entered; that the way in which the entrance had been effected, by a window, the shutter-bolt of which was known to be lost, showed that the robber was acquainted with the place. Moreover, that the lock-fast place, which had bern broken open, including a cup board, • desk, in which Mr. Rogers was known to be in the habit of keeping money, the robbery of money from a drawer in which a female domestic was known to keep money, and also the fact that the robber attempted to abstract money from the troweera by the bed side, in which Mr. Rogers also was accustomed to keep matey, all tended to skew that the robber was intimately sequsinted with the localities. Added to these was the fact that Yr. Rogers reenguised the voles of the man to his bed ews ; and coupled with the previous love of dl. while Lowy wee in his service, all conspired to constitute reasonable gawk for suspicion, and supported the plea of justification lest the record. The learned counsel called witnesses to sup- I port ilia averment,. Mr. Chambers replied in a very earnest and argumenta tive address, in which be contended that all the fact. stated for the defendant only went to confirm the V•intirs case I that thew was no reasonable ground for suspicion. All the evidence went to show that the robbery was conducted on Me want plan pursued by housebreakers, particularly in the Oak of entrance, and in the general ransacking of the ewers of the kitchen. If there was any peculiar know ledge of locality evinced, it was a knowledge possessed in sum= by the footmen who were received and discharged mesthly from Rogers's service. With re spect to the ground of suspicion connected with Mr. It genes alleged previous loss of 51. from his dark,hich, if stolen, must have been takea by m of a false key, it was very improbable that, even supposing Lee , y to be the housebreaker, he should have broken open the desk, with such simple means at his commend. The learned counsel ales dwelt upon the feet that the robber Ird not evinced a knowledge oldie easy way of access by mean, of the holden shutter, In magas the risk of discovery by the noise come ' guent on breakfast the window. Oa the contrary, a first attempt appeared to have been made to enter by the cellar door. Lastly, on the onlypossible ground of suspicion arising from the alleged tion of the voice, the learned counsel urged the difficulty, if not the impossibility, of identifying a man solely by the sound of his voice, disguised ss that necessarily was in the covering of a thick cape, and that the more especially by an *ld man excited and alarmed by the nocturnal Intrusion of a robber. Mr. Baron Parke, after a minute summing up of the evi dence and lucid exposition of the law on the subject, lots it to the Jury to say whether the alleged recognitim of the plaintiff's voice by the defendant wee in their opinion eufficiene, under the circumstances, to lead to an identifica tion, and thereby to constitute a reasonable ground of sus picion that the plaintiff had committed the burglary and felony. The jury consulted for a few minutes and returned a ver dict for the plaintiff, damages 201. COURT OF BANKRUPT...ff.-YESTERDAY. Ben": Ya. Comatose' Eva's. SUSPENSION OF CIIILTIPICATE. J. Smith, jeweller, of Regent-street, applied for his certi tisane, surported by Mr . Lawrence. He was opposed by Mr. Orchard, the solicitor to the assignees, on the ground that he had showed a creditor, named Sewell, who had advanced him capital to carry on his business, to obtain a judgment, and sweep away the whole of his property. The bankrupt had been in business about twelve years ; his unsecured debts amounted to 3,3561.; his profits had been 10,9701 ; trade ex penses and interest, 6.6001. ; domestic expenses, 3,6001. ; meets, inconsiderable. On the part of the bankrupt it was urged that he had no reason to expect Sewelrs judgment would be enforced, or he would have came to the court on his own petition. Had not the property been sold at a gnat sacrifice, the estate would have paid nearly 20s. in the pound . His Honour said the case was one of great suspicion, though the evidence did not fully establish the charge of fraudulent preference. But if a man conducted his business so recklessly as to allow a creditor to get an ad. vantage over the rest, he was highly blameable. Some erne having elapsed since the fist, he would suspend the certifi cate for one yrar, without protection. R FITZGERALD. This was the day appointed for the adjourned last exami nation of J. Fitzgerald, coal-owner, of Pendleton, Lancashire, and Portland-place. The balance sheet, prepared by Mr. Begble, embraces the period from Ist July, 1843, to 20th December last, and contains the following rather extraordi nary items :—To creditors, 144,2001. ; ditto bolding security, 140,0101. ; income derived from rents, dividendo, &c., 70,56.51 ; liability, 2001.

The totals on each side the balance sheet were 364,9761. 8.. 2d. Mr. Cooper, the solicitor under the fist, said the bankrupt had been extensively engaged in working a colliery at Pen dleton, in Lancashire, latterly on his own account. but for merly in partnership with Mr. Therridge up to 1842, and more recently in partnership with Mr. Faux, who only re tired last year. The assignees were of opinion that the ac counts of the several partnerships ought to be rendered. Mr. Tampon Smith (of the firm of Pickering, Smith, and Tonspzon). for the bankrupt, urged that his great age and infirmity might excuse him from furnishing further accounts after the very detailed ones already before the court. His Honour said that be had no alternative but to order the accounts to be furnished, if the assignees pressed for them, and to adjourn the examination for that purpose. Some proofs of debts having been taken, the examination was accordingly adjourned for a month. BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

ROBBISRY BY • BERVANT.—A DSAPIIIATE LEAP.— Enema Harvey, 26. was indicted for having stolen a small gold pin, value 15e., the property of Blimbeth Tawney Millard. The promeutrix it appeared was an unmarried lady, residing at No. 8, Lower James-street, where she gave lessons in music. About a month ago the prisoner went to live in the house as servant cf all work, but on last Tues day week she absconded, and immediately afterwards a number of articles belonging to different parties in the house were missed. One of the City police officers named Quarterman received some information regarding the prisoner, which induced him to go to No. 4, Searles-pima, Temple-bar; he proceeded to the second floor back room, the door of which he found locked, and whilst he was pre paring to break the door open, he beard a scream from the lower part of the house. He hastened down to the bark yOrd from whence the cry had proceeded, and there he found the prisoner lying insensible on the ground, having, when she heard him at the door, leaped from the window, a height from the ground of more than 20 feet. She was removed to the hospital, and the pin in question was found in her shawl. When she recd' erect she was removed to the station house, and there she said that she had picked up the pin in Miss Millarl's room. The prisoner was found Guilty. The Court was informed that she had before been in prism fer having attempted to commit suicide. The police officer said that a gentleman connected with the French consulate lived in the same house, and he gave information to the polies of the loss of a valuable gold watch and chain from his dressing-room. The prisoner gave information about this watch when she was in custody, and it was found at Attenborough's, in Fleet-street. It was rest-red te the gentleman, but as some important business called him abroad, the magistrate did not bind him ever to prosecute. The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. MAT 22. The May adjourned swam oommenced:on Tuesday morn ing at Hicks's-hall, Clerkenwell. There were 67 cues of felon and 11 of migdemeanour in the calendar, end of the whole y number of prisoners 21 could neither read nor write. ASS•IILT ON • GIRL NT • POLICEILLN. William Jermings, the police•eonstable convicted last week of assaulting a little girl, wee brought up to receive sentence. The court had rupited the prieoner's sentence to afford the police officers opportunity to ascertain whether any and what connexion existed bet w e en the primer and a milkman nun d Lane, who was tolled for the defuses, and swore that he was en utter stranger to the prisoner. His mamas went to contradict the statement of the proseentrix. He said that be was near the spot where the girl said the offence took place, having been to see a niece who lived near Victoria grove, that he passed the prisoner, the constable on duty, oa his returning home, and asked him the way to Northamp ton-street, and that that was how the prisoner found him and called upon him to give his evidence on the trial. Inspector Terleton, of the N division, informed the court that he had aseertelned that the witness Lane had not visited his niece at the place stated for the last eighteen months, and that on the Tuesday preceding the trial of the prisoner, who was on bail, he (prisoner) and Lane were sun together examining the piece and measuring the gusted, so that he might describe it on the trial. Lane was very intimate with a brother-in-law of the prisoner's, who was one of the bail. Lane was seen in company with the prisoner at the polies court when hawse bailed. The learned Judge said that this wu just uho had ex pected. Taking into consideration that the prisoner was on du', when this offence was committed, and that he had, by calling a man who had committed gross and wilful per jury, endeavoured to show that he was the victim of an infamous unspiracy on the part of the proeccutrin and her frien Is, the sours felt boa• d to increase by two months the sentence he would otherwim have received. The sencenc3 was, three months' imprisonment in the House of Correc•ion ; at the espiratb•n of that term he must had security or his future good be baviour. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. FOROIBT.—J. W. Robert. w.s brought before Alderman Lawrence upon four separate charges of forgery. Mr. Walter Long, of Lawrence Pountney-hill, solicitor, stated that the prisoner, who was his clerk, had been in the habit of going to the Commercial Bank of London, in Lothtury,, with cheques from the house, and that the seve ral cheques of the following dates and amounts were not in his handwriting, viz., for 31., dated 28th April, 1849; for 21., May 14; for 21., May 17 ; for 31., May 19. He believed the cheques to be in the hand eriting of the prisoner, who had no authority from him to sign them, and he knew that they must have been torn from his cheque-book. He dis covered the forgeries upon his return to town on the pre eking day. Mr. H. J. Hall, clerk and cashier in the Commercial Bank of London, said he paid the four cheques over the counter, and plated them to Mr. Long's account in the natal manner. The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wished to ray anything, replied in the negative, and he was committed for GUILDHALL. RAILWAY SPICULATION UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.— COlkerifte Stu/c, of 225, Blackftiars road, was charged with commissioning Mr. W. Barton, a stock-broker, to pur elms for her 1,0001. worth of London and North-Westera stock, and afterwards refusing to ply for it, or for the loss occasioned thereon amounting to 371. 18s. Mr. Willie= B arton stated : on the 23rd of April last, Mrs. Steil: brought me the card of a friend of mine, named Stone, with whom I have doze business for some years, and stid she wished me to purchase 1,0001 worth of stock in the Loudon and North-Western Railway. From the recom mendation she offered, I purchased at 133 per cent., and she gave me her name and address, Catherine Stulz, of Edensor, Bakewell, Derbyshire, and said she would call in the coarse of two or three days and pay for the stock. She ought to have called on the 29th of April, but I received a note dated the 27th of April, in consequence of which I kept the con tract open until the 2nd of May, when I went to Mr. Stone. He said whet he did not know the prisoner, and had not re commended her to me. On the same day I received a letter from her, without any address, and two others on subsequent occasions. Since then I have not seen the prisoner until today, when she called and laid that she had not got the money, but would make it up in commissions, by recom mending her friends. I told her I could not let her leave the office, when she struggled to get away, and I afterwards gave her into custody. Alderman Carden: Have any other brokers been served in a similar way ?— Mr . . Barton; There are a number of stockbrokers who a nd suffererslike myself, and it was only • few days since that a notice was put up in the Stock En change cautioning all brokers to beware of the prisoner. Alderman Carden asked the prisoner what defence she had to make.—Mrs. Stutz, who is about 36 or 37 years of age, said she had expected to receive a large sum of money, in common with other parties, under a will, but was disap pointed. Mr. Stephen Callon, of the Stock Exchange, said that he knew the prisoner well. She was accustomed to deal in shares, and speculated constantly, and at the present time owed him money. Another gentleman produced some letters, which he said would show that the prisoner had been carrying on the same system amongst the brokers at Manchester. Alderman Carden said he could not call the transactions by any other term than that of wholesale swindling. There was sufficient evidence to remand her for a week, under the false pretence that she had money to lay out, and in the meantime he had no doubt there would be other parties coming forward.—She was then removed. SOUTHWARK. DOOS AND CIGARS IN RAILWAY CARRIADEB.—Mr . C. Colville was charged with assaulting Thomas Ben net, one of the "nerds in the employ of the South Eastern Railway Company in the execution of his duty, and Mr. Walter Gilmore, Mr. Wyndham Barclay Portman, Mr. Henry Lumley, and Mr. Richard King, were charged with having been concerned in the alleged assault. The complainant stated that on the previous night, when the quarter before 10 o'clock train was about starting from the Greenwich terminus, the defendants came on the plat- form, and entered a first-Class =visite. Observing that one of them, Mr. Colville, was followed by a dog, he told that gentleman that he could not be allowed to take the animal, as it was againstthe regulations, but he paid no regard to the intimation, and pushed him on one side. Witness, however, opened the carriage door, and insisted that the animal should not remain there, and was proceeding to take it out, when Mr. Colville pushed him with such force, as to throw him down on the platform, and in the fall his lentern was smashed to pieces. Witness then celled for help, and one of his fellow-servants came up, when both of them made an effort to remove the doe, but their exertions were fruitless, and as the time for the starting of the train arrived, he (witness) locked the ear riage door in which ell the defendants were seated in order that none of them should esmthe until they arrived at the end of their journey. Witness also 'teethed that one of the de. fondants was smoking a cigar, and when he informed him that it was prohibited he paid no regard to the intimation, hut continued to smoke. When the train arrived at the London.bri.?ge terminus, he unlocked the carriage in which the defeetants were seated, and having explained to the in spector what bad occurred, that officer proceeded to take Mr. Colville into custody, whereupon be was struck on the eye, which was blackened from the effects of the blow. William Widdows said that he was porter in the service of the company, and that he saw Mr. Colville throw the complainant down and break his lent , n. He (witness) at tempted to remove the defendant from the carriage, but failed in it, and received a thrust in the breast from the point of an umbrella. The clerk to the Solicitors of the Railway Company pro duced their bye laws, and pointed out the clauses applicable to the alleged offences, and stated that there were boards stuck up at the terminus prohibiting smoking in the car riages, as well as a notice that dogs were not allowed in them. Mr. Seeker, in examining the clauses referred to, how ever, was of opinion that the interference of the guard in attempting to take one of the defendants into custody, on seeing the dog follow him into the carriage, was net sanc tioned by the act; that it wes the complainant's duty to have summoned him for the offence; and that with respect to the smoking of the cigar in a carriage, that was also en offence which gave the company the power of summoning a party for it, and, on its being proved, a defendant rendered himself liable to a penalty of 40i. All that subsequently took place at the London-bridge terminus mess out of the manner in which the guard conducted himself by adopting a summary mode of proceeding. A Mr. Cunningham stepped forward and said that he was in the carriage with the defendant., and from his so count it you'd appear the guard was not assaulted by Mr. Colville, but by another gentleman, who was not present is court, and whose name be refused to disclose. The witness said tkat the behaviour of the guard, and other authorities Winging to the railway company, was violent in the ex treme, and he added that the inspector was intoxicated, a charge which that officer denied. A gentleman, not conne:ted with either party. stated that he was present during the whole of the transaction, and that he considered the complainant and the other persons be longing to the railway company had been excessively used oa the occasion. Mr. Seeker said that there was so much enntlietiag testi mony in the case, that instead of deciding it he should ad judge the defendants to enter into their recegnisances of 401. each to appear there on a future day in order to give the complainant an opportunity of indicting them at the see sione—The required sureties were immediately entered into, and the parties left the court.
