LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Barico.—(Before Lord Mist Justice Erie, and Justices Byles sod Keating.) IN RI AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Field moved for • rule calling upon an kttorney at Ois court to show came why be should not pay to the ap plicant 3s/. 10s. 21., and why he should not answer the matters in the affidavit. The circumstances were shortly these, that the applicant, having sued a debtor for -'l. ilk. 2d., the attorney received 10/. from the debtor, and the sheriff's officer settled with the attor ne y f or th e ba lance after execution had issued. Two or three weeks after this the attorney told his client that the man had not paid, and the attorney had sot yet banded over the amount, although the settlement with the officer took place in May last. Rule granted. AFPLIATION TO STRIKE AN ATTORNEY OFF THE ROLLS. --- This matter came before the court on cause being shown against a rule to strike off the rolls of the court George Thompson, an attorney, who bad been convicted of felony, and who was now undergoing his punishment at Portland. Mr. Campbell Foster appeared to show cause, and Mr. Garth to support the rule. Mr. Foster took various objections to the regularity of the proceedings, and first submitted that the rule could not be said to have been properly served, inasmuch as Mr. Thomp son being a convic ted felon was io law dead. The lord Chief Justice thought that this objection was cured by the learned counsel appearing for Mr. Thompson. Mr. Foster submitted that every person was entitled to his option of appearing personally or by counsel, but Mr. Thompson could not under the circumstances exercise that right. Another point was that the motion was too late, the conviction having taken place so long ago as July, IB6L The Lord Chief Justice thought that these ob jections could not be supported. Mr. Foster then madean appeal to the court, saying that Mr. Thompson was a very young man, and although upon the roll himsslf, he bad acted as clerk to another person. Circumstance* caused the superintendence of the office to be placed in his hands, and being left without much con trol he got into expensive habits and committed em bc/rlemenr Ur. Thompson would be sent to Western Ano rak and his great hope was that at length he might be euateed to practise his profession there, and by good conduct to regain the position which be had lost. If, however, he was struck off the rolls in this country he would have no chance of obtaining a certificate which would enable him to practise in Australia, and would thus be deprived of that hope which would otherwise sustain him during the time or his punialitneu . . The Lord . Chief Justice said they did not feel themselves authorised to yield to the application of Mr. Foster. They hail no doubt that the authorities in Western Australia had the power, according to their discretion, to allow trans portation to produce those very salutary effects that it was capable of producing—deterring criminals here, and allow ing them to attain a position of respectability in the colony after the time of probation had expired. Rule absolute. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL. (Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Baron Channel). and Mr. Justice Mellor.) THE QUEEN r. STEPHEN JOSEPH MEANT. The prisoner, who it will be recollected, has gained some notoriety in connexion with the International Exhibition from represeotiog himself to be connected with the newspaper press , was tried and convicted on the Bth October last at the Middlesex sessions, before Mr. Joseph Payne, deputy-assistant-judge, of obtaining good' by false pretences by means of a letter purporting to have been received by him from the financial department of the International Exhibition, but which was proved to have been a forgery. The jury on the trial returned a verdict that the prisoner had obtained the goods in question by fraudulent representations, but they believed be intended ultimately to pay for them. This verdict Mr. Payne refused to receive, and several members of the bar (the prisoner being undefended by counsel) then urged that it was a verdict equivalent to one of not guilty, and ought to be entered as such. The jury retired, and afterwards came into court with a verdict of guilty. Some further discussion ensued, when Mr. Payne remanded the prisoner till the following sessions, in order to take the opinion of the assistant judge (Mr. Bodkin) on the point. When it came before that learned judge he expressed an opinion that the first verdict was one that ought not to have been received by the learned judge who presided. in that form. Mr. Payne told the jury that if they thought the prisoner did not mean to defraud, they ought to have found him not guilty. He (Mr. Bodkin) was prepared to act upon the second verdict 64 not a magistrate who was pre sent been of opinion that the first verdict was an acquittal. Under the circumstances a case was stated fur the opinion of this court as to the finding of the jury. Mr. Dickie appeared for the prisoner, and Mr. Kemp for the prosecution. After hearing the arguments of the learned counsel, The Court held that the finding of the jury ought to have been received as a conviction. Conviction affirmed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) IfEAVAN V. BEAVAN.-ANOTHER CLANDEISTINEMARRIAGY„ Mr. Serjeant Shee and Dr. Spinks appeared for the peti tioner; Mr. Francis and Mr. Tidawell for the respondent. This was another of that large class of marriages which aro entered into rashly and without the concurreoce of the parties' friends, and which afterwards come into this court for dissolution. The petitioner, Mr. Arthur Henry Beaver; was the son of a solicitor now deceased, and was a ward in Chancery. Having unfortunately become acquainted with a women of bad character, named Emily Louisa Dale, who was very much his senior, he was induced to contract • clandestine marriage with her by license at St. Paul's Church, Camden-square, St. Pancras, on the 29th of November, 1860. The connexion having be come known to his friends be was sent out of the country ; and the respondent was alleged to have afterwards returned to her old way of life. The defence was a denial, coupled with a plea that the petitioner had deserted her without reasonable excuse, apd had treated her with • neglect that bad conduced to the adultery. Mr. Charles Shnrnptoo, the clerk at St. Paul's, said that the night before the marriage be saw the parties, and asked the youth if he weed age. Witness doubted the accuracy of the statement, and tithed him again if he was sure he was. He again replied in the affirmative. The woman had • thick veil on, so that witness could not see her face. Wit new therefore asked her the same question, and she also 'aid she was of age. The next morning they came with out witnesses. Asked them where their witnesses were? They said they had none, soil asked witness to be one. Spoke to the cleret man in attendance, and he said that witness had better do what be was requested. The woman said she would go and find another witness ; and shortly afterwards retuned bringing an oldish woman, who signed the register. A short time afterwards, the respondent came again to witnesa's house ;_ehe said that her husband had been taken away, sad asked witness to go to a solicitor. De dined to interfere, having only acted officially and knowing nothing of the parties. Had once seen them together in Camden-road ; and witness's attention was attracted by the vet,' remarkable voice of the respondent. Cross-examined—That was shortly after the marriage. Mr. Hugh Job Cadell Beavan—My brother, the peti tioner, was sixteen yearn of age in April, 1860. Cross-examined—ln November. 1860, we were both living at home with my mother at No. 13, Blaadfordsquare, Regent's-park. .1 went abroad soon after. I was never present when the petitioner applied to my mother for pecu niary assistance. I never saw the respondent at my mother's I have heard that my mother has been applied to for money, but she seat the letter at once to her solicitor. Idu not think the respondent has had soy assistance from my family since my brother was separated from her. Cross-examined—We were all wards of Chancery, am:Vey brother bad no means of his own. William Hoes, a policeman, said that he heat knew the respondent about two years ago. She was then living near Bedfordsquare. There were several women in the house. The respondent was living with her mother, and she had with her two ehildren of the ages of eight and nine, The respondent's age was about thirty-five or thirty-six. The bouae was • brothel. He lied seen the respondent take men there in August, 1880, and conduct herself in the streets like a loose woman. In December last, in consequence of instructions he had received, witness looked for her, and on the '2nd he found her living with the petitionerat No. 6, Victoria-terrace, Camden-town. Followed them on the 22nd to the court of the Master of the Rolls ; and saw the petitioner go into the judge's private room. Afterwards accompanied the pe titioner to the chambers of his uncle, Mr. Charles Beaver, in Stooe.buildings. Saw the petitioner's mother there. Was called in, and in the petitimier's presence received di rections from the uncle and mother to take him to Liver pool. The young man said nothing. He afterwards asked witness what he was going to do with him at Liverpool? Told him he did not know, and that his uncle would tell him. He said, " I won't go." Replied that if be resisted, he should put hardcuffs on him. He said nothing to that. Took him to Crewe the same night, and the next morning went on with him to LiverpooL He went quietly. His mother and node were with them. At Liverpool witness slept in the same room with him, and fouud that he had a disease on him at that time. Put him on beard the Victory, Captain Jones, bound for Melbourne; and stayed with him till the ship sailed. tlermis-examineel—Took the petitioner intoctudody without a warrant and on the authority of the uncle alone. No charge was made against the young man. Peter Baron Matthews, clerk to the solicitor of the family, served the parties with an order of the Court of Chancery. Was present when they were examined, on the 22nd of becember, 1860, before the Master of the Rolls. The Master spoke to the respondent of the con tempt of which she had been guilty in marrying a ward of Chancery without its sanction. 'rhe Muter of the Rolle ordered him into the custody of his guardiaae, and directed that they should have power to send him abroad. He also enjoined the respondent not to attempt to bnld any iotercourse with her alleged husband. (The order was reed.) Oa the 12th of Jawasry the respondent appeared to answer for her contempt. On the Ist of November last the witness went to London. ILMIIMMIIIMINIIM THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1862. rtreet, Edgware-road:Aftenvards sawtherespondent go into an hotel. Accompanied another witness named Brown to a room there, and found the respondent in bed with a man. Brown was also examined, and gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Francis said it would be idle to contend that the adultery bid not been made out, and he would also admit that the order of the Master of the Rolls might be consi- dered a reasonable excuse for desertion ; but be contended that the petitioner had been guilty of suchneglect in leaving his wife without the means of support as ought to deprive him of the remedy he sought. Mr. Thomas Newcombe, of 6, Victoria-terrace, Rochester. square, said that the partite, who bad lodged at his house, appeared to live very happily together till the separation. The respondent appeared very much distressed when her husband was taken from her. Maria Postal, servant of the last witness, gave similar evidence. Up to the time that the respondent left, which was in July, 1861, she behaved like a lady. She was never out at night. Should say she was about 28 years of age. Mr. Se *cant Shee replied. Sir C. I said there was no authority which the court exercised with so much anxiety as a discretionary power, which was what the respondent now wished to invoke. The present was no doubt a very remarkable one. He could not for one moment believe that the respondent had ever had a moment's doubt that the petitioner was under age. If a youth of sixteen was so silly uto marry a prostitute of 28 or 35, it might very well be that he was so ignorant as not to know what was the life the woman was leading. He might possibly have thought that, as her mother was living with her. she was a person of humble but honourable I station. Howeverthat might be, it wuclear that the woman had been the manager of the whole transaction, for it was she who volunteered to fetch in a second witness at the church. There could be no question that the Master of the Rolls had a perfect right to separate the parties till the infant came of age. The boy had 'nothing to give the respondent, and had not left her voluntarily ;so that it could not be said that he had been guilty either of desertion or of neglect. Could it be contended that his family was bound to support her Mrs. Heaven could hardly have been ez to provide for a woman whom she be geecyrdd to have inveigled her child (for be was hardly more) into a disgraceful marriage ; and the respondent must all along have known that such would be her feeling. If be (the judge) were to express any opinion favourable to such conduct as the respondent's, he was afraid that it would tend greatly to increase the number of these contempts of the Court of Chancery ; and he thought, therefore, that be should not be exercising a wise discretion if he refused the petitioner the relief he sought. Decree nisi. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. THE PARISH AUTHORITIES OF ST. GEORGE'S, HANOVER. SQUARE, AND THE CASUAL POOR. Mr. Rogers, one of the officers of St. George's, Hanover square, attended this morning at the request of Mr.lizt in consequence of some complaints roads by persons before him yesterday morning with breaking windows, that they could not get admission to the casual ward of the workhouse. Mr. Knox having mentioned the particulars of the an, Mr. Rogers said the poet board of St. George's had every desire to take their fair share of such oases as those men tioned, and some time since the question, which was a vexed one, was before them, and • committee was appointed to consider the same, an d after considerable deliberation and inquiry, they found that such cases were most unequelly dealt with by the various parishes in the metropolis, some having wards for the reception of large numbers of ' casual poor, some for small numbers, while others had none at aIL A deputation waited upon the Poor-law Board, with the view that the commissioners would deal with the matter, and propose some scheme that would be fair to all parishes and such class of poor, but the commissioners were unprepared to offer a plan to carry out such equitable view. At the time in question they were in the habit of taking in 100 or 400 casual poor a week, but the board came to the conclusion that the ward should be shut except to persons brought to the workhouse by the police, and those admitted at the discretion of the master and the porter. It was found that • vast number of the persons applying were beggars about London, and not strangers, and the system of admission bad gone on ever since. The authorities of the parish were most anxious to do their duty. Every person who was brought to the house sick was taken in and kept in the house, and any sugges tion that might be made by his worship would be at , tended to. Mr. Knox said that on the previous day the porter said the casual ward would only hold 25 persona, but that 50 could be squeezed in. Surely accommodation for only 25 persons in this inclement weather showed a very deficient state of things, and a place that would only hold 23 persons was not proper for 50. Mr. Rogers said that suppose they extended their number and took in 50 and then there was a surplus, what was to be done with the surplus? The board felt that such cases ought to be looked to, and that some provision ought to be made. It was thought the Poor•law Board should take the matter in hand. Mr. Knox said he was quite aware that if there was not some the workhouses would become barracks for all the g a rs about London. When persons came before him for breaking windows they ought to be pnuished, but he did not think that tekin& in 25 or 30 persons was provid ing sufficient accommoda•on in inclement weather. Mr. Rogers said formerly, when the ward was open, per- sons used to congregate at the doors in large numbers ; the undeserving got there tirst and got admitted, while the more deserving who did not get there in time were not admitted. Mr. Knox said he would advise the authorities, with the view of putting themselves right with the public, to have larger accommodation. The matter then dropped. The painful duty devolves on us to announce the death of one of our most prominent public men, and one of the most patriotic of our resident proprietors—the Honour. able Berth) Jarvis, senior member of the legislative council, who died on board the royal mail steamer Seine, on his outward voyage from England, two days before reaching St. Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Jarvisleft this island on a visit to Ragland, in spring last, and they were on their return when the hon. gentleman's life terminated.—Antigua Weekly &Aster. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY OF 400/, AT SCAR noirouou.—Ao extensive burglary has just been discovered at Scarborough, on the premises of a widow lady—Mrs. Wear, widow of the late Mr. Wear, Lloyd's agent at that port. It appears that Mrs. Wear left her house on Mon day. evening, to reside at her daughter's for a few days, during the absence of the hitter. She has just found, on returning home, that her house has been burglariously entered during the interval. A square of glees in a hack window bad been muffled with a paper, smeared with treacle, and then broken and the fastenings unloosed. The drawers in the best bedroom were found wrenched open, apparently with a chisel. In one of them Mrs. Wear had placed her cash box, which, =fortu nately, contained, when she left it, about 360/. in notes and gold. This has been carried off, together with two gold watches, worth nearly 2I)/. each. The thieves did not dis turb any of the silver plate that was in the house, and • silver watch was also allowed to remain. The police are now instituting very active efforts for the discovery of the offenders, as this is the third burglary committed in Sorbro' within two or three weeks, and it is the most serious one that has yet taken place in the town. _ TRAFFIC Rzcztrrs.—The traffic receipts of' rail ways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending the Bth Nov., on 10,499 miles, to 538,1411., and for the oorreapooding week of last year, on 10,186 miles, to 528,6981., showing an increase of 313 miles, and of 9,4431. in the receipts.

The passenger traffic shows a falling off of 15,112/., as compered with the pre ceding week, which was the last week of the International Exhil.ition. The total receipts of the put week show a diereses of 21,8191. as compared with those of the pre ceding week, ending the Ist inst. _ - Tait CONFIIRSIONAL.—One of the American agents of the Royal Insurance Company has recently forwarded to Mr. DOTS the sum of 801., received throunh the agency of a priest from some penitent sinner who is anxious to make reparation to the Royal for a fraud committed upon it. The money was accompanied with imperative instructions that no questions were to be asked, from whom it came, or why it was sent. —The News. The Nazione of Florence states that some of the deputies held a preparatory meeting on the 10th inst., to consider the position they should take at the opening of parliament, and that after various observations had been made, they unanimously resolved to oppose the existing ministry, as one whose views regarding questions of home and foreign policy do not possess the oonfideoce of the majority of the nation. It says, also, that meetings have been held at Naples and Turin with the saute re sult. But the Soper° considers mestilip as premature, sad, if anything, rather calculated to NOM the ministry.

HQ MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'CLocz. The funds to-day are dull, at the closing quo tations of yesterday, with little business. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange the transactions have likewise been on a limited scale. Two or three of the principal English railway stocks are a trifle lower. Foreign securities of nearly all kinds are well supported. _ . • At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent.

HALF-Pen Two o'CLociL Consols are without change, at 94 to }, cum div., for money, and 92 to it, ex div., for the ac count The firmness of the Portuguese Loan Scrip is ex plained by the fact that the large amount of 770,0001. of this loan has already been conveited into Portuguese Internal Stock, having been pur chased out of the proceeds of the sales of the church property. These funds must by law be in vested in government stock, and as the new loan, besides being relatively cheap, has the privilege of conversion at any time into the Internal Debt, it is peculiarly eligible for the It appears from the advices Pur ro s i e n . Pern that the question of the loan remains precisely as last de scribed. The new President would be installed in about a fortnight after the departure of the p-esent advises. Until that event and the accompanying festivities are over, no official decision could pos sibly be arrived at. There is now lying in Peru untouched by the government 700,0001.. of the pro ceeds of theloan, and alike sum has been placed to their credit here. Meanwhile, pending the settle meat of the loan question, the present wants of the government were being provided for by parties in Lima connected with the London house of Thom see, Bond, and Co. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of 761/. 16e. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. ' About 70,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation, principally to the Continent, to pay for silver. The 81,0001. by the Aloe, from Melbourne, will also be sent abroad. The steamer Seine, from the West Indies, has brought 109,0001. in silver and 34,0001. in gold. The amount by the Borussia from New York is 280001. The steamer Great Britain, with 400,0001. in gold, and the Wellesley,with 136,5001.,ara the only gold vessels known to be now at sea from Australia. The former has been out 58 days, and the latter 85. The Australian mail steamer Northam brought 352,735/. in gold to Point de Gallo, of which, how ever only 4,928 1 . was for London, the rest being forlndia and China. The shipments of specie for Calcutttrand China by the Mooltan on the 20th instant will show an increase, compared with the amount taken by the corresponding vessel of the 4th, but will of course be much below the enormous sum just despatched to Bombay, the chief cotton port of the East. Some large amounts of silver have already been insured for transmission to Bombay by the steamer of the 27th inst. The Mexican dollars by the steamer La Plata were sold yesterday for China at be. lid. per ounce. There is an active inquiry for silver for Bombay, to meet which large supplies are being imported from the Continent. The quotation for bars remains at ss. 2d.

The monthly return of the Bank of France, as made up to Thursday, the 13th November, shows the following results (the exchange taken at 25f. to the pound) . - Coin and bullion Bills discounted iswiert 4446,000 Notes in circulation Private depocta . .......... Inman 460,000 Treasury deposit' . ........ . Damage 284,000 Advancer on publis aeouriiies Inman 730,000 The great increase in the discounts and decrease in the coin and bullion are serious features ' the more especially as the decline in the latter has been going on for some months past. The change in the previous return was to the extent of 1,186,0001. The total held is now below 12,000,000/. The Great Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 174/., and the Caledonian au increase of 3141. A meeting of policy-holders in the Argue Life office was held yesterday at the Guildhall Coffee house. It was convened by Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Harrison and Lewis, and the disposition evinoci was to resist the proposed amalgamation ; with the Eagle. It was mentioned that with this view au injunction in Chancery has been filed by one of the policy-holders. The result of the meet- I ing was the appointment of a committee to confer with the directors. We understand that branches of the London and South African Bank will be immediately opened at Graaf Reinet, King William's Town, and Pieter maritzburg, and that preparations are being made for the establishment of further branches in the Western Province. The directors of the Canadian Native Oil Com pany, the chairman of which is Mr. J. A. Roe buck, M.P., have just issued a report of progress. It describes the steps which have been taken to secure on advantageous terms freehold premises below Gravesend for refining operations and the storage of oil. This situation is considered to be particularly eligible. The report of the special commissioners ou the oil springs generally shows that there can be no doubt whatever as to the magnitude of the supply, while the company's 166 160 131 136 FOREIGN RAILWAYS. - inwAris. ail 'Antwerp & Rotterdam IS g. 7 p.o. all Belgian I.

Measures have been taken to forward to the company con tinuous supplies of oil at highly remunerative rates. The satisfactory assurance is at the same time given that the government of Canada are pre pared to give every facility to the undertaking. The directors have accordingly resolved to offer (in the first instance to the present shareholders) the 5,000 shares which were originally reserved for Canada. The price asked is par, although the shares are now at a considerable premium. • • The i:juarterly meeting of the National Freehold Land Society, convened for the 29th instant, will be made special in pursuance of the requisition read at the quarterly meeting on the 29th August, for the purpose of considering the propriety of altering the rules of the society.

FRIDAY EVINTNO. COll/10111, which closed yesterday at 9 2 to 1 ex div. for the 4th December, opened this morning at the same qvotation, and so closed, after touching in the interval 921 to 4.

There was a demand in the afternoon for Turkish Consolides on foreign account, and an advance of 1 per cent. was finally established. The shares of the Standard Bank of South Africa, which closed yesterday at 34 to 4 prem., experienced a decided relapse to-day, the final price being 21 to 34 prem. The immediate cause of the fall was apparently a rumour that a call of 61. per share is impending. The recent gambling move menia in these shares have justly excited great ani madversion, a bank being the last undertaking in whose shares spccalative extravagancies ought to hi possible. Other bank shares were generally firm. In the miscellaneous share market the alteration was of no imporfanoe, with the exception of a rise of it. to 21. in Van Diemen's Land shares.
