THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1864. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (i!efore Vice-Chancellor Wood.) %,,tl.Ol CELLING.—REEFING OUR HAILS. suit to determine whether or not certain sails • d by the defendant were an infringement of a t.. 1 to the plaintiff. The specialty in the make •• I's sails consisted in the mode in which the •,,,, : tad. The ordinary mode of reefing, as •:ws, is effected by " manning" the yards, and • ,•11 man to haul was much of the sail as he can ~ man warkiug in time. By this the sail :s•ther in even creases, is then tied up, . : ,ted. The operation of "manning" is It and dangerous. If a sadden squall comes on iea, half the men in the yards are, in the the witnesses, " bound to fall off either on the water." The plaintfire process gets rid of • .iltogether, and replaces it in such a way -.re proceeding, as far as the men are con . ..,cited to the main-deck. This is managed _ the sail to wind itself round a species . ...al.. or rounded spar, which descends by :r.tvity. and is so managed by machinery, a complicated copy of the old toy known as a t it rotates in its descent, and rotating winds • ! it. The men on deck mu thus, by simply • hauling, as the case requires, reef or unreel : , 1,-asure. The defendant's promo is similar in t...a but the ropes are differently arranged and fete not rely entirely upon gravity for its rotatory tio the defendant's behalf it was contended :tuff's plan, being founded on well-known Jived no novelty, and also that the defen . was so distinct that there was no infringement. z, Chancellor was of opinion that the plaintiff's • aii both novel and useful.

Mr. Brooke. appeared for the accused. The prosecutor said that on Saturday evening, about seven o'clock he was passing down Union-street, Borough, with his wife and his dog was following him. The latter he va..a very much, as it was exceed ingly faithful. When he had got • little pest the Monu ment public-house he heard his dog yelpiog, and knowing that he did not make such • noes unless some stranger picked him up, be turned round and saw the dog in the prisoner's arms. Witness's wife rushed after the prisoner, and endeavoured to take the dog from him, and a man named Dells; asaisted her, and was assaulted. The prisoner was eventually given into custody. In crass-examination by Mr. Brookes, witness said he could swear to the dog produced as his. It made • peculiar noise when lifted up which be could distinguish from any other dog. (Witneas here li.'ted the dog up to show his worship that such was a fact amidst loud and repeated laughter.) The magistrate asked him what he valued the dog at? Witness replied that be would not take U. for it. It was not its peculiar beauty, but its faithfulness. Mr. Brookes having made an ingenious defence, The magistrate convicted the prisoner, and sentenced him to pay • fine of 54, or to be imprisoned three mouths. BRUTAL ASSAULT 01f A Vl}A. M Owl Moira , ,, an Irish labourer, was finally examined, charged with conimitting • brutal assault on his wife. The latter attended on • former occasion and reluctantly gave her evidenc e , w hi c h c l ear l y s h owed that the prisoner knocked her down in the passage of their house. She did not wish to punish him as she said she was moat in fault. Sergeant Ashley, A division, said that he picked the woman up in the passage with her head bleeding, and she told him her husband did it. She was taken to • doctor's, and afterwards charged him at the station-house. The Magistrate told him he should not allow him to escape the just punishment due to him by his wife's ab sence. He therefore sentenced him to three months hard labour. SERIOUS GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION IN MA.VCRESTER. At half-past 7 o'clock last evening, a serious explosion of gunpowder occurred at the shop of Mr. A. Cadden, a email gunsmith living in Brook.street. Caddell occupies the end tenement of a row of small cottages situate near the bridge which crosses the Medlock, and while alone in the house at the time named last evening he heard an explosion of fireworks in a drawer behind him. He attempted to carry the drawer out of the house, but the fireworks exploded one after another with such rapidity that he was knocked down. Remembering that he had several barrels of gunpowder stored in a room upstairs, he attempted to get thew out of the house, and succeeded in securing one, which he left in charge of a neighbour. He tried to remove the others, but the quantity of smoke overpowered him, an d h e could not enter the house. The fire engine's, which had in the meantime been sent for, very shortly afterwards arrived under the superintendence of Mr. Tozer, who was told that there had been several explosions of small packages of gunpowder, and that a large quantity was stored upstairs. While the hose was being attached to the mains, three heavy explosions were heard, and the front door, part of the wall, and the window were blown out. The gable was also shattered., and the par tition wall adjoining the next house was likewise blown down. Notwithstanding the danger. the firemen entered the place, and one of them found a small cask, half full gunpowder, which, to prevent accident, was thrown into the river. He was followed out of the house by four others of the brigade, who had each secured& barrel oontaining•Sslb. of gunpowder, and this was at nous placed in the hands of the police, and taken to the Fairfield•streetpoliee-station. Several canisters of gunpowder were also picked up among the (I,:',ria. Beyond a alight injury to Mr. Cadden's left hand, no one wee hurt. What, however, the consequence would have been but for the exertions of the lire-brigade, no one can say, for the neighbourhood is densely populated, and the adjoining thoroughfare is one of the boniest in the city. Mr. Caddell estimates the loss of his property at 140.. nothing of which is covered by insurance. The injury to the house is so serious, that in all probability it will have to EA.IT INDIA FINANCIAL A MOIL ATION (Li- DAT.)—This afternoon, at a special general meeting held at the offices, the chairman, Mr., H. I). Cartwright, stated that the board had placed the whole of the available tends in ludis—C.s.ooo/. in Calcutta and 60,000/.10 Bombay —on good securities at 11 end 10 per cent. respectively. 25.00,0. had been obtained on acceptances, which the present call was required to meet. _ ENoGliiiCX SUPPLY OF POULTRY.--(THIS DAY.) --The supply of poultry is Leadenhall and Newgete markets exceeds by far that of former years. Twenty vans loaded with crates containing turkeys and geese, arrived by the t: rest Eastern Railway this morning, brought additional freights. The packages that throng the thoroughfares in the markets are so numerous that there is scarcely walking room. Ai nougat the turkeys from Norfolk are come monster specimens, many of the birds weighing from 301 be. to 341te. without the feathers. The geese from Norfolk and Suffolk are exceedingly fine in quality. The supplies brought by the Antwerp and Ostend steam Tassels are also enormous . THE STOEM-. IN THE NORTH.—On Sunday mensing the wind, which had blown in a violent gale for 24 boors horn the northeast on the coast of Northumber land, got round to the south-east, and as the morning ad vanced towards daybreak to the north-west, the heavy sea, which bad been raging, began to fall fast, and before noon it was very moderate. In the afternoon the wind blew in light airs from the west, but after dark it came away from the south again and blew hard. The snow fell in heavy showers on Sunday, and was lying crisp in the the country, but as night came it began to rain upon the coast, and the snow disappeared rapidly. Great anxiety prevails in the northern seaports with regard to the fate of the vessels exposed at sea on Saturday to the violent storm, as the wind was nearly dead upon the land and the sea was awful to look at. The Dona and the Oak, of Whitby, bound from the Baltic for Loudon with timber, put into the Tyne. the one on Saturday night and the other on Sunday morn ing, for shelter. CHRISTMAS CHEER..—On Saturday morning Mr. Martin Roots, butcher, of Crayford village, slaughtered at his establishment • most extraordinary aniLoal. It was a pure bred shortliorned heifer, called "Oak Bud," aged 4 rears and 11 months, bred by Lady Lubbock. of Erni liomugb, and fed by Charles Swaisland, Esq., of the Cray ford Print Works. The following is a list of the prizes ob tained by this animal at the different cattle shows where it has been exhibited :—Commended when 1i months old at the County Show, Dartford. 1861 ; • prize of 2/. at the Dartford Show, Dec., 1861 ; the let prize of 41, at the Dartford Show, Dec.,1862, also the prize of Si.

When drowsed it weighed 217 stone 41b.. lied carried 20 stone of loose fat.

Taylor" (tried at the L;verpool assizes, yesterday, before Mr. Justice Mellor), Miss Alice Parker. the daughter of a farmer residing at Settle, ice the West hiding of Yorkshire. brought an action against Mr. John Taylor, the eldest son of • farmer in the same district. The plaintiff, being one of • number of daughters. went out to service in the year 187.5, when she was about twentv-one years of age. While she was at ser vice the courtship by the defendant commenced, and was cautioned until the year 1 , 457. when she was seduced by the defeadant. A child was born, which is now living. The plaintiff was confined at her father's house. and there the defendant saw her, Red 'made • distinct promise to marry her when she was sut6,-iently recovered. He asked if the child was christened, and when told it was not, nil, "Then we will have both sprees together," meaning the christen ing and the marriage. When the plaintiff roc leered, how ever, he did nut keep his promise, and she again went out to service. In 1863 he married another person. and hem's the present action. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff, damage. 2i if . A HE , it.iITRANT CARYGNAL—A I..tter from Naples. in the It.r.c. says :—"The strange and unexpected attitude assumed by Cardinal d'An,trea, who has taken up his r e sidence here at the Hotel Crocelle, is the universal talk of the town at present. He does not seem to have the slightest intention of returning to Rome, and his immediate friends assert that his rupture nit:, the Vatican is defini tive ; nay, it is added that Pius IX. has sent him word be might stay where he was, since be had gone there without leave. These assertions are not disproved by the cardinal's behaviour ; he openly receives the priests of the Emancipation Society, and convenes with them in quite an Italian spirit. Some of the opinions attributed to him are quite extraordinary in a cardinal. He says, for instance, that an obstacle to a reconciliation of the Holy See with Italy is much less owing to the Sacred College than to Pius IN. personally, whom he represents as imbued with the exaggerations ' of the mailmen of France and Belgian'?" A Basis of SALT. —A few months ago another deposit of mineral wealth was brought to light in Nevada, which has proved of incalculable value to the silver mines there. This was an immense basin of salt, five miles square, near the sink of the Carson river. This bake I (says a gentlemen who writes from Virginia City) appears once to have been the bottom of • lake, and the salt is found good even on the surface. A covering of about three hackies is lone and indifferent; but beneath this, for a depth of fourteen feet, pure rock salt is toned as deer as ice, and white "as the driven socw." Beneath there is water, which seems to he filtered through the salt for an un known depth. The whole of the fourteen feet in thick. ness does not oontaio a single streak of any deleterious matter of rubbish, sail is ready for quarrying and sending to market-4 menciiii you, r.

From Sherbrooke the agent states that the works had been greatly retarded by the heavy rain. From Old ham the agent writes :—•• I am in hopes the crusher on the Davies lot will be completed by the middle of next week, when we will proceed at once to put through the quartz on hand, running the mill constantly night and day. I have no hesitation 10 saying that we shall have a large share of the public quartz, as the prevailing opinion is very much in favour of the new batteries. and a good many are now keep ing their quartz for our mill. We can have enough work from the public to keep her manias at least half of the time. The compiny's old mill will be ready for work on or about the 20th instant." The following is from the wine circular of Mr. F. W. Cozens, dated yesterday : The inactivity usually noticeable at this period of the year in the wholesale demand for wines and @nitrite is in no way exceptional, dealers being unwilling to purchase beyond their immediate requirements. Prince arc at the same time well m►intained, wherever the quality merits it. The pressure exprnenced during the latter months of this pre. sent year has hut slightly affected the legitimate trade is wines ; since the reduction of the duty, and in spite of the greatly increased cost, the quantity consnmeil Ku been very large. This fact may be explained as the oonseinenon of the good quality of late of tae medium wines of ad classes, which, aithon4h of recent vintages, have been found whole some. agreeable, arid moderate in price. The importation has been noprecedeetedly large ; thus while the stock in the various' wine-growing countries of Europe is considerably reduced, and in man► parte inconveniently limited, our bonded depots are well stored. This will for the coming veer assure moderate prime to the conmuners of the United Kingdom. Taking the returns for London (Stone only at present accessible) the duty payment, upon wine, for the mouth of November, have bees tisl.4:!Pt gallons, against ti 07.2.25 last year—the B,mrea for brandy being 111,3 N and ;4::, , 414; and for ruin 177,iii13, against 155,20.
