TION OK A CNAIOI OP MORDZIL Mr. Huddlretaa. moved tor • writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the defendant into this court, in order that she might be discharged. From the affidavits upon which the learned counsel moved, it appeared that the pri mer bad been irk d on a charge of murder at the last amine for the count of Salop, bed at Shrewsbury, and that the trial hated one centre day and up to two o ' cl ock on the Wiesen day. The jury thee retired to onside? their ver dict, and after being Inked up all that night, at ten o'clock the next montieg they were discharged by the learned judge without giving any verdict. The prisoner was, how. ever, "tut back to prima, and it was now contended on bar belief that the custody was illegal, inasmuch as one jury already haring heard this case, in which the was charged with having committed • awl- V ell offense, and they laving been discharged, no ether jury c..ald try her again. The learned counsel also anbetin.ed that in the present we the jury had been impro perly discharged by the judge according to law. It was laid down by several authorities that a jury once a crid in a capital ease could not be dieharged withoutagreein g to a verdict It was so stated by Lord Coke is his Institute, awe 110, chap. 47 ; cad ako in " Hawkias' Pleas of the Crown," pep 2, chap. 47, ese.

By the aid law writers it bad she been laid down that, ia cues when the primmer was put upon his or her trial far a capital oases, the jury could not be discharged unless by peaoner's emend This dos:teas was set forth in " Coke apse Littleton," 227 B ; " Lord Raymond's Re. parts," 84, sad " Carthow's Reports." Mr. Junkie Coleridge—A contrary peonies bas prevailed fee same peen. It has been decided that now a prisoner can mama to aensing. Mr. Rerillsetene elessrved that in the report of the Cri. atlas! Lew Oseamtimitimers the same langua ge we need arm the gabfest on in " Coke upon Littleton . " In a awe re ported in " Carthew's Reports," which was tried in 1898, the judge discharged the jury by the consent of the prisoner. The same law wee to be found in the last edition of " Burn's Janice," title " Juror," page 972, vol. 3. All the previous cons were to have been takes into consideration in the jadgeseatofMr. J esti*" Foster in themes of the two Lewin, who were tried for high treason. With regard to dialing lag a jury with the pewee" nmeent, Blackmon" said suet consent was generally required, except there were some special circumstances in the ere which rendered it neereary to dispense with it. All the authorities upon this point had been reviewed lately in Ireland in the case of the " Queen v. Hogan Coleridge said if the learned judge was wrong iv di-eharging the jury, the prisoner should hove applied tv be set at liberty by proclamation at the teneinauon of the Nesse- A writ of habeas corpus ex pyted persons committed on charm of this nature. Huddlestone said the ease was one of great hapset sane, mad he hoped his lordship would grant him • rule to show an why • writ of habeas corpus should not issue, in order that the matter might be fully discussed. Mr. Justice Coleridge mid he would take time to consider, and give his answer in a day at two. IN RI L --,-APPLICATION AGAINST ANATTEINIT. Mr.J. J Johnson applied for • rule calling upon an at torney of the cant, whose name he did not mention, to show muse why he should not answer certain manses in the affi davit, or why he should not be struck off the rolls. The learned rump.' stated that be applied on behalf of a widow lady, whose name did not nanspire, and whore husband had died in 1836, leeriest property to the amount of 2,0001., 1,0001. of which was left to the widow, sad had been plaited in the hands of the attorney against whom the present ap plication was made for the purples of investment 2501. had been at first lent to a parson of the name of French upon mortgage. and 1001. was farther advanced on the same secu rity, making altogether the sum of 3501. 'That mortgage was paid off he French, and the 350/. was again invested in • mortgage without the knowledge or consent of the appli cant ; and it was subsequently tound out that the property upon which the 3501. had been so advanced had, at the time, a prier encumbrance upon it. The sum of 6501., the residue of the 1,0001, remained in the hands of the attar ay, and he had duly, for a length of tints, paid the interest on both the 6501. and 3501 ; but had lately discontinued to do so. Oa being requested by the applicant to state who we. the Fifty with whom he had effected the second mart gage, he stated that the money had been lent to a gentle man who did not wish to have his name disclosed. The lady on whose behalf the present motion was node had, in the year 1838, married again, but was now a widow, her hus band having died In 1847. Upon her marriage, the attorney bad prepared • marriage settlement, of which he was himself the troops. The affidavit of the applicant further stated that the attorney in elusion had been is partnership with a gentleman whose name the learned counsel did not mention, but merely said his initial letter wu M, and that disputes having arose between the attorney and his partner, they had diseXved partnership. Their affairs subsequently got into Chancery, and it wee now charged against the gentle men whose prehmional cionduct was impugned, that he told the applicant what answers she was to give to certain interrogatories put to her by the Court of Chancery, direct ing her to say that his partner, Mr. —, was in ao way concerned in any of her affairs. This the applicant, at the time, stated, having full confidence in the integrity of her attorney. Subsequently, repeated applications were made to this gentleman to endeavour to obtain payment of the interest due to her, and an account of the way in which her 3.501. had been invested, but without success. She then consulted another attorney, her present legal adviser, who wrote to the party now called on to answer the matters in the affidavit, requir ing bun t° give an amount of the manner in which he had applied this lady's funds. In to that letter he stated that money had bees rammed by him, 0114 of her Property, to his partner id—, which was in direct contradiction to the statement he ha d desired the applicant to make, when examined by a tommiedos of the Court of Chancery. It was found. on inquiry, that no money had been lent to the partner X ; and the applicant concluded hear affidavit by swearing that she believed the attorney had used her money Mr his own purposes. Mr. Junes Coleridge mid he would grant ante calling on tits attorney to show came why be should net answer the matters in the affidavit.—Rule masted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—TunrazDAT. _sow la Ilia NORM V. lisso.—lNPThisTisT To Tim LIBPIIII OP LUNATIC AMMO. _ _ nu, mis fki - sassultiart sod falsely imprisoning Um &bars . INS the hots disclosed by the pleadings, it appeared that one of the inmates of the defendant's lunatic asylum, at Burgh Hall, in the county of Lancaster, described as Elisabeth Drury, escaped therefrom, and married the plaintiff. The defendant pursued, and tad her taken beck to the asylum. The present action was the result The defeadeat pleaded " not guilty," and also a notification, alleging that he bad not used more force than was necessary for the ninon of peening the plaintiff's wife, and that she had been taken back within 14 days after bar escape. To that plea there was a special demurrer, and the emetics raised was whether, under the 87th and 99th w hom of the General Lunacy Am (8 & 9 Viet. A 100) the keeper cf • lunatic asylum was justified in retaking • person, ands his ears, after having escaped. Mr. Cowling supported the demurrer, and contended that area though the lady in question bad ben a lunatic (of which there was no averment), the plea was no answer to the action; for the section relied on was not at all in tended to apply to • ease of this kind. If the plea was held to be good, the keepers of lunatic asylums, ones having persona under their care might neon to any extant of force, even though the parties escaping should be perfectly sane. There was se evontsdc except by habeas corpus, and it was doubtful whether even that means. In this case the order and medical certificates described the party as Elisa beth Drury. Tke defendant had no power under them to take her away from her husband, for she was not " Elisabeth Drury " when retaken. The Justine' order and the certifi cates should set forth the hue name and description. They had not done so here, and they were therefore valueless as an authority for the defendant to retake the plaintirs wife. When she was retaken there was, in fact, no order oe certi ficates properly dersibing her. The act did not authorise the keeper himself to arrest or take • party, under any sir miestanees. His duty was merely to " reeelve," at the Tequila of the justices, or any one else; but he had no power whatever amide the precincts of his establishment. He was a men volunteer, acting under the orders of others, and he should thrushes be doubly careful not to trend his duty. Sir F. Pollock, C.B.—There is no Tustin as to identity ; the practical question is this : Ifa man finds a lunatic wan dering about and marries her does the marriage put an end to all the steps taken for the protection of the woman herself and the public at large ? Hr. Boca Parke.—lt cannot be contended that the keeper of an asylum Rust be responsible for the truth of all the allegations is the order and certificates. Sir F. Pollock said the court were ale of opinion that there was no objection to the plea in subs'axice or form. The art of parliament referred to was clearly Intended as • protection to the proprietors of lunatic asylums in all actions takes against them for receiving or detailing patients duly entrusted to their charge. A man whose wife was placed, without his interference, in a lunatic asylum (as is the peacoat am) should resort to legal means to get petered= other, and he bad no right to re take her himself after she had soaped. The grounds of the demurrer were that the plea was ambiguous, as it did not den that the individual in questions was the plaintiff's wife; sad testhe, that it did not aver with sufficient certainty that she was a lunatic. It never was intended to throw upon the beeper Ombra. the espwrive inquiry whether parties yew et imensi Wed of est. All that wee necessary for the jaltheatien eneeepen wee the requisite order and me dial efftilleries. Thaw bathed then is receiving patients and In lashing ass within feetthess daps if they should have escaped. Fr these reasons, the Court wee of opinion that the plea was feed, and that the defendant was entitledte Judgethet. The lamed Wan ascarted, and judgment was entered for the defendant aneerdiagly.

Now he could not help tlii•it on looking at all demo, that it did not appear 'hi the e they Mei ever come bar Ka after this attempt, nor was there any potability of their meeting. The evidence of Mrs. St. Rose the court meld not rely ape, and he must look upon it with great easition. In August, 1843, Mr. Caton went to Paris, where be resided in a house with Madame St. Rose, and also her son, Major St. Roes, and his wife, with whom it was said an adulterous intercourse had taken place. The familiarities which had taken place had excited the madam el Mr. Caton, who then left with his ehildren, and smputtei his wife to accompany him, which she re fused. It was ma grave conduct on .the part of Mrs. Caton, in follow ing a course her husband did not approve, and very naturally excited strong mapicion ; but there was so proof of adultery. After this she took other lodgings, where it was slid she was accompanied by her mother, and that Major Si. Rose also resided there. Now, in all ordinary cams it would be euppoeed that a mother and the widow of a clergyman would be some protection to a daulyhter, bat she had not been examined. It was her duty to have prot e cted her daughter from committing adultery, and the proof might have been given to the court, hut has net. He (Dr. Lush. ington) referred to that part of the evidence with pais, bat he was compelled to do so ; he felt it could not be pima over without comment. The 14th, 15th, and 18th addle the wee great intimacy between Mrs. Cates sad ri c ti v er re St. Rose, as well as with the mother of Mn. Caton. llama were two children also residing with them, one of which was only six weeks old ; the elder of these two had been sent back to Mrs. Caton, under the belief that it was net the offspring of her husband. but the coat was kept in the dark with to that. It was proved that Major St. Roes respect 10 take the child of six weeks old in his anus ; that he accom panied Mrs. Caton out with it in their walks; that he was prima when she gave it the breast. This was an indelicate set, but the porter who spoke to the fact was present also. It was deo asserted he was seen to go into her bedroom, and remain a considerable time ; the question might arise, was this • proof of adultery ? Mn. Ride'r's lady's maid had de posed to other acts of impropriety on the part of Mrs. Caton, sad of the intimate terms in which Major St. Rose lived with Mrs. Caton and her mother. Nothing could be more army; than this evidence, taken in emanates with the pre °Wag *videos,. Mrs. Caton was well aware of bar has hand's simpiekma. She became pageant by Major St. Rose,' and gave birth to a Mild on the 16th of October, 1846, the Miami somas that he had not cohabited with his wife Wow des 7th elDeamber, 1843 ; it was, therefore, mist ,if Mohamed, that Mrs. Caton must have oriamitted wife mate use.

The action wee fleet commenced against Gibson only, who pleaded the non-joinder of Start in abatement, and it was then no orrery to make him a defendant. Before trial, notice wee given that a fiat was issued. Mr. Midst satemitled that Mr. Seat had bags entrapped into allordstandzent hp delankos Sea masmtmad iag that no mad be taken spina him. The debt wee siniallip due him, and Neilsen there fore form the beefs of - a Sat In bankruptcy. He also denied that any act of bankruptcy had been made oat. By the Melmit reined to, Mr. Gibson had undertaken to l septlate peoperty Into the estate, the creditors binding themselves not to take proceedings either against Gibson or the firm ; and Senn was consequently released. /Misses law given of this agreement, and of an audio rity_kom ties petitioning creditor to at[ his denature, Mr. Beeniesque replied, contending that the authority wee net s to bind Mr. Belmont, otherwise it would have been pleaded by Bturt to the action. The act of bent. nate, —leans his house and locking it up—wea placed be any doubt. bey Honour thought the at of bankruptcy the most im portant point, and this seemed at first established by the evidence of Mr. Cherry, but, as had appeared afterwards, be might have left with other intentions than to defeat or delay his creditors. Potting aside the question of the pe titioning creditor bavirg sanctioned the agreement, it was clear Start believed himself pleased from all claims; and hence he might not have left home for the purpose of de feating them. Under theta circumstances, be should hold that this was not an act of bankruptcy, nor was the denial spoken to by Mr. Email, or what afterwards mad with Mr. George. The adjudication must, there fore , be an nulled. THE POLICE CO URTS. WORSHIP-STREET. Cararry.-31r.

Tan Rovat,Biz:Cia - vii.iirro-iiiiierrri.inow.—Jantes Locke, Jen , and his three sone, Edwin, James, and George Curtis, were brought up for further examination, charged with having conspired together with intent to defraud cer tain parties of sums of money by falsely pretending to apply the money towards the support of a charitable Institution (Sr affording medical moistened to married females at the period of their confinement The principal facts of this case have formed the subject of a report in the Express on two former occasions. . lie. sea , 10, Hyd•-parkaquare, barrister, was the fint mitoses examined. Recollected some persons called at his house, about two months ego, soliciting subscriptions for the Belgrave Lying-in Institution. Two papers, nos a prospectus of the alleged institution, were given at the time. Witness did not see the persons who called • but, from the particulate in the prospectus, thinking the i nstitution was good in its objects, he signed the subscription-book, and sit r t i ltuinea by his footman to the parties who called. Had with his mosey on Ike faith that the Royal Helpers ying-in Insti tution we a bond Ad* institution, and that he would be at liberty to refer a married woman to the institution for relief. Witness also believed the representations in the prospectus that the institution wee under the immediate patronage of the Ducham of Kent and other distinguished persons whose names were set forth in the prospectus. Several other winterise were called to prove that they had paid mosey to the prisoners for the benefit of the institution, and midge the same impression as that entertained by Mr. Shea. 1 - a - ipector Leslie said the house was very meanly fur nished. I. the room used al an MEN there wss a table and half a dozen chairs. Them were no stirgical Instruments or appliances. There woe nothing to indicate that a lying-in institution was held there. Witness found a book containing suliseriptions to the "linen fund," with her Royal Hishnem the Decker of Lent to it as a subscriber.

With respect to the charge that due was no institution in existence, there were ten midwives present who would prove that they had attended thousands of cases, and had received hundreds of pounds from the institute. Some cases had been attended to within the last fortnight. Then, as to the deficiency of funds, the midwives declared that that was to be attributed to the stir made by Mr. Ryder, in 1844. Mr. Ryder called them- together under the pica of ascertain ing if any debts were *wing to them, in order that he might see them paid. Mr. Ryder's proc eedings bad ceases rated all the midwives, m he had prevented subscriptions from coming to the in stitation. Marty subscribers had with drawn their names, and others had not taken the trouble to make inquiries. Thee, with reference to the blinds having on them the name of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, as patroness, which blinds it was alleged were carried about and exhibi ted In various localities, that was not correct, as the blinds had been broken for some time. With reference to the use made of the Duchess of Kent's name, her royal highness had been • liberal supporter of the institution for many year, and had the privilege of recommending 30 women to the Institution. Her Royal Highness did give 101. towards the linen fund, and the midwives would prove that boxes of linen were pro vided for the women when confined. Having paid thislol., her Royal Highness became a life subscriber, and being en titled to six letters, her Royal Highness's name was kept on the subscribers' list. He (prisoner) considered this • very bard we. He bad devoted 17 years of his time and energies to the institution without proper remuneration. A salary had been proposed by the committee, and he had received an allowance of 1001. a yrar, which did not conpensate him for the services ha rendered to the Institution. Mr. Hardwick said he wotil - cl7;nii;SiTti;e prisoner that a letter had bean put in to stow that after her Roy al Highness bad withdrawn her name, he had used her name to collect subscriptions. The prisoner said at the time the letter was received from her Royal Highness it was delivered to the committee, who submitted it to legal persons. The result was that the com mittee found they weld not undo what they had done. Mr. Hardwick said he should further Teased the case to Wednesday next, and then he would decide whether he would convict summarily or send the we to a jury. A person here produced 78 letters from midwives who had not been paid. Another midwife produced 12 letters, for which she could get no payment The pisonius were then remanded. A gentleman con. netted with the Pimlico Lying.in Institution wished it to be known that the charity he represented had no knowledge of the Belgrave Lying-in Institution. He believed that the prisoners had got subscriptions from parties who believed they were subscribing to the Pimlico Institution. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1849. PUBLIC BALES.

By the private advice, received Dy the India Mail to-day, we have intelligence of the Calcutta markrts ten days later than were previously to hand. The market for cotton goods and yarns was active, and sales to a considerable extent had been made at a slight decline in prices. The decline in grey shirt logs is stated to be 3 to 5 annul per piece, and bleached only a shade lower. The anticipation of large supplies bad produced this effect on the market ; and when it is borne in mind that the shipments to Calcutta this year amount to about 13 millions of yards of cotton goods against about 7 millions in the corresponding period of last year, this fall is not to be wondered at ; even though a considerable improvement in mercan tile affairs in Calcutta is now experienced, and hopes of an extended commerce are entertained from the termination of hostilities and the pacification pro duced in the Panjaub. CAton yarn was rather lower in low numbers, bat in others not much change, except 70's and 80's, which were rather higher. Metals were dull. The Bombay advice. report an active market on the 2nd of April for cotton goods generally. Yarn was in good demand at rather better prices. Metals being moderate in stock found a steady market. Ex change was le. 100. for good commercial paper, and less for Bank Bills. The report of the direetors of the North Western Bank of India, presented to the shareholders at a meeting, held at Meerut, on the 12th February last, exhibits a very satisfactory statement of the affairs of that institution. The business for the half-year which terminated on the 31st Dec. last exhibited a net gain of company'. rupee. 1,82,845 12 annex, which admitted of a divi. dend upon the capital stock of the Bank at the rate ofB per cent. per annum ; leaving a sum of company's rupees 22,845 12 annul, applicable to the reserve fund, thus making the amount of the latter company's rupees 219,143 2 anus and 9 pie. This dividend was accordingly declared, and a recommendation of the direcrors adopted, providing for the payment of the dividend to shareholders in England by bills at six m nthe eight, at the exchange of Is. Ild. per rupee; or an alternative allowed them to qualify for the re ceipt of dividends in England at a fixed rate of ex change of two shillings per rupee, by payment of a b: of 5 rupees per cent, or 25 rupees per share, on the par value of the stock; of which several London shareholders have already availed themselves, which has produced a reserve fund to credit of profit and lops of rupees 10,618. Mr. Campbell, the managing director in Calcutta, was appointed the future agent of the bank in Lon don, in place of Mr. Watson, who returns to India ; and Mr. Campbell, having given his services in Cal cutta for a period of u arty four years gratuitously, to the satisfaction and advantage of the directors and proprietor', a piece of plate, value 2001., was unani mously voted to him as an acknowledgment of the value of his services.
