LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUERN'S WENCH. Attar taro Sittings at Nisi Prins at GuildbalL —(Bsfors Lord Chief Jamie. Cockburn and a Spacial Jury.) 110DtiON V. Vii V. MUD; BAIT., AND 0111=6.—AlIBAULT. The further hearing of this can was resumed this morn log. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. R. Lloyd, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Shoe, Mr. Serjeant Pigott, and Mr. Field, were counsel for the defendants. Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., the present treasurer of the Middle Temple, and M.P., deposed that he was present on the evening of the ftth July. The book weekended to plaintiff in the ordinary becoming way. He had not seen Mr. Hudson before, and there was nothing in the handing of the book that attracted witness's attention. The plan:Aid'. conduct was very violent. The benches and Mr. Seymour expostu lated with him, and requested him to give up the book. He gave very offensive answers and declined to do so. He never heard anything MUM offensive than his conduct towards Sir F. Slade. When Bye came in the plaintiff was told by the treasurer that the book would be taken from him if he did not give it up. The treasurer directed Bye to take the book from him. Witness then detailed what took place according to hi■ recollection, which was in the main the same as the other witnesses for the defence. He said nothing, and did nothing but attentively watch the proceedings. No bencher touched the plaintiff. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—The heathers did not cluster round the plaintiff. There might have been two or three between the treasurer and the plaintiff. He heard Mr. Bagehawe say he would give the plaintiff into custody, or words to that effect, but it was before the police came in. Plaintiff was not immediately after taken away by the police. Mr. Rodwsll used the word stealing at an early stage of the proceedings. It was after the police bad left that Mr. Hag shawe said he would go to the police-station. He did not recollect the plaintiff saying, " You know a policeman can not interfere and take the book front me." It was probable that Mr. Bags/ewe said, " Then I charge you with illegally detaining the book." By the Lord Chief Justice—After the plaintiff was about to leave with the police, there was Do further attempt made to take away the book. He was quite clear of that. He hadnoconception, until Mr. &rill stated yesterday, how the police got ioto the room. Mr. H. 11. Begsh►we,Q.C. and beocher, deposed—He took no active part in the examination. When the plaintiff asked for the books, witness handed them to Mr. Rodwell, that gentleman handed them to the treasurer, and he handed them to the plaintiff. When the plaintiff refused to give up the book, and had challenged various benchers to take charge of him, wither said he charged him that he, as se nior manager, had seen the book handed to him for a particular purpose, acd his determination to keep them, and the charge he made agoiost the plaintiff was for taking pos session of them and keeping them unl►wfully. He used the words with deliberation, and after considering the course it was his duty to take, and with the deliberate intention so to confine the charge. He thought that before he used the words Mr. Bovill and the Common 3erjeent had spoken to him about the strange transaction. In consequence of wh►t passed between theca he framed his ex pression. He took no part in the struggle that took place to regain possession of the book. He did not lean over the plaintiff and shake has fist ill his face. He was not on the side of the table where Mr. Hudson was during the whole affair. He could positively say that no bomber touched the plaintiff. When the police came in the conflict was going on. Bye and Warren were struggling with Hudson when the police came in. To his surprise the police came in. They took Bye and Warren off the plaintiff and the conflict ceased. The conflict was not renewed after that. It lasted about three' or four minutes. It was not so exciting as described by Mr. Bovill. Mr. Serjeant Pigott-4 dare say he wee excited that day. Witness continued—The police asked what it was about, and he said the book had been improperly taken possession of by the plaintiff, and that he begged to draw their atten tion to that fact. One of them said, "We can take no notice of that here ; if anything is to be done about it, it must be done ►t the station•housse." The plaintiff said, " I give Bye, the porter, in charge for an assault, and you will be an important witness in identifying him." The whole matter thus rested upon what he considered consett sad arrangement. Mr. Chambers objected. What was done ' Witness continued.—He said, "Then as senior manager, I will go to the station." He left the room to go to the sta tion whilst the plaintiff and the others were in the room. The cab with the plaintiff arrived at the police•atation before witness, and he found the plaintiff in what was called the dock. He had ni.tbing to do with that. At the police-station the superintendent asked what was the charge, and who made it. Witness gave his name and address, and said the plaintiff had im. properly taken a book from the table of the parliament chamber of the Middle Temple, and that he had the book unlawfully in his possession, and that witness's object was to obtain possession of the book. Plaintiff then chal lenged hUn to charge him with felony, or steal ing, but he declined, laying he did Dot charge him with stealing, but with taking improperly. Something was said, but he could net say by whom, about the difference between taking and steeling. Bo was certain be charged the plaintiff with unlawfully taking and keeping the book. The superintendent—but upon whose sugges tion he could not say—came round to witness, and asked it the matter could not be arranged by his taking charge of the book till the right to it could be determined. He told the superintendent that he had no objection to any course that would premise the book. The superinteodent returned to his place and said, "Can't I pour oil on the troubled waters said retain the book till the question of ownership was determined ? " Witness assented, hut the plaintiff declined. Witness then dictated the charge in the wads that had been regal (row the police-book. The superintendent then refused to take it in that form, and Mr. Hudson was discharged. t'roes•essmuned by Mr. Collier—He knew the police bad been sent for. He left the room and went into the Middle Temple.lane, end looked for a policeman very shortly after the plaintiff said it was his determination to keep the book. He found a policeman in Hertford-buildings, cod requested him to be in attendance if required. That was before the assault. He went for the police on his own motion, fearing violence, having a notion, from the manner the plaintiff put his hand nailer his left arm, that he had some weapon about him. He did not know till yesterday (Monday) that Mr. Bovill had given any directions about the pohoe. He did not recol lect anyone calling for the police. His impression ass that the police heard the disturbance and came into th e I room. He did not hear any bencher say, during th e strusgle, "We will have it yes!" He could not undertake to may it was oot need. He did not hear the police say, " We can't take Bye in charge because we have you (the plaintiff) iu charge already —we can only deal with one charge" By Mr. Collier—Do I understand you to say the police took the plaintiff into custody of their own accord or was he given into custody' Witness—l did not give him into custody. He was neither given Dor taken into custody, but I, understood we were all to go to the polioestation, and have out the discus sion. Mr. Collier—Do you mean to say that the plaintiff went voluntarily and could have left without the police? Witness—Certainly, and I went to the police-station to superintend the business. I did not say that I gave him in charge. Mr. Collier—Then you understood that be went to the police-station voluntarily Witoesa—Certainly. I did not see the police put their bands on him. I went to the police station with the deter mination not to prefer a criminal charge, but to see if he would redeliver the book. I declined to define the thing at the police-station. When the plaintiff challenged me there I stated the facts of taking and detaining the book illegally, and not that I charged hire. Mr. Collier—You saw the plaintiff in the dock" V. iteen—No. 3lr. Collier—Do you know what a dock is? Witnesq—Yes ; but I saw no dock at the police-station. I could see the plaintiff by stretching my neck into the wind ow . (L aug h ter. ) Th e wor d ' charge ' in the police hook vu used by the police sergeant. I assented to it. When it was read over to me I did not say taking and stad ia. were synonymous. The plaintiff said so. l,did not use the word stealing. I said nothing about searching the Plaintiff, or that stealing and taking were substantially the Si, R. J. Phillimore, the Queen's Advocate. Q.C., and a leacher, was present on the 9th July. The book was Not passed to the plaintiff in an offensive manner. He wu sot touched by any of the benchers. The struggle was Cot renewed after the police were called in. Crose-examiued —He did not hear any owe say "Well have it." He did not mean to say the words were not used. He had no recollection of the word "stealing" being need. He heard something to the effect that the plaintiff should 1* reo iuto custody for taking,the book, but he could not say if !t was by Mr. Bat:shame. He was p er f ec tly clear no bendier interfered to take away the book. He beard one bencher cry " police " He saw the policeman lay hold of Rye. Redid not pledge binned( to recollect all that transpired. IThe cue was proceeding when our report left.] THE :EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1862. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

Mr. Beard, the solicitor, awaited for the defendant, and, addressing Mr. Barker, the magistrate, said that since the last ez•mmation the coroner's jury had unanimously re turned &verdict of " Accidental Death," the evidence clearly showing no blame was attributable to the defendant. Mr. Barker said the difficulty he felt was that the de fendant was acting contrary to law by riding on the dray. Mr. Beard said that really had nothing to do with the cause of death, because deceased fell off the kerb after the horses had passed him, and therefore if defendant had been at his horses' heads he would not have seen deceased fall. Mr. Barker said notwithstanding this he did not feel justified in taking upon himself to decide the defendant's share of culpability in having caused deceased's death, and he should therefore send the case to the Central Criminal Court for trial. Mr. Beard for some time argued with the magistrate, and eventually, Mr. Barker said he would accept bail, but he would really not decide the case. Formal evidence of the position of the body after the death, and the cause of the death, having been given, the defendant was committed to take his trial at the next Old Bailey sessions, being permitted to be on bail on his finding one surety in the sum of fAN.

The funds remain steady, at the late improve ment. In the other stock markets business is falling off, with the approach of the holidays. English rail way stocks are dull, and in some canes a fraction lower. Foreign securities are generally well sup ported. Consols are now quoted 921 to 1, ex div., both for money and the account. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 4,1 ; ditto for account (Bth Jan.), 921 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 924, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 921, 4 ; Bank Stock, 2334, 234, 232 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1081, 1074 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 1004 ; Five per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 1064, 4 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent , 1124 ; and Exchequer Bills, 145., 10s. prem. The foreign stock market is rather quiet to-day, and prices generally have not experienced any import ant change. Egyptian bonds of both issues are in de mand, and have improved. New Granada ex overdue Coupons and Hectares are steady. Greek, on the other hand, are lower, and Mexican and Spanish Certificates not quite so firm. The Turkish Loan of 1854 and Consolidks are quoted the same as yesterday, at 84 to 85 and 40;1 to 1 respectively. The Loan of 1858 has igeproved per cent, being quoted 701 to 71, while the scrip of 1862 ie rather lower, at 31 to i prem. Venezuelan scrip is quoted 2 to 11 dis. ; • liloeSuguese, 4 to 1 prem. ; and the New Peruvian Loan, 92 to 4. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 93, ex div.; Dutch Certificates, 1021 ; Egyptian 944, 951; ditto second issue, 94, 4, 931 ; Greek, 161 ; ditto Coupons, 7 ; Mexican, for account, 32d, 1 ; New Granada, ex overdue Coupons and Hectares, 121 ; Portuguese, 1862, 481 ; ditto scrip, 4 premium ; Russian, 1862, 94, 1 ; Spanish New Deferred, for account, 461 ; ditto Certificates, 81 ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 701, 1 ; ditto 1862, paid-up scrip, 71*, 71, ; Venezuela, for account, 251, 25 ; ditto 1862, scrip, 2, 11 die. FOUR o'CLocx. Consols are still quoted 9n to ex div., both for money and the account. A remittance has been received from Guayaquil of 7841. be. 10d., on account of the Ecuador divi dends. The committee of the Stock Exchange have deter mined to close that establishment on Friday next, the day after Christmas-day. It is understood that a similar step will be adopted in most of the public markets, including that for corn, and also in many of the principal houses of business. The attend ance in the City on Saturday next is likewise ex pected to be small. About 107,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank to-day. We understand that the tender of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company for the conveyance of the mails between Southampton and Brazil has been accepted by government. The new contract is for a period of seven years, and the previous sa tisfactory arrangements will be closely adhered to. The whole of the tenders sent to government for the West India mail service are believed to have been rejected. Fresh tenders, however, are ex- 1 pected to be invited. Advice's received, via New York, announce that the whole of the 200,0001. in specie and bullion, as well as the cargo from Greytown, had been saved from the wreck of the Royal Mail steamer Avon. The cargo consisted chiefly of indiarubber, and baa experienced but trilling injury from the water. Little hope was entertained of saving the vessel. The advises from Cape Town announce the wreck, off Gouritz River, of the ship Melbourne, 1,100 tons, while on the voyage from Shanghai to Lon don. Her cargo was a very valuable one, including 778,228 lbs. of tea, and 744 bales of silk, besides cotton, wool, spices, tobacco, .1:c. The vessel was on the rocks, and nothing could be landed un less she broke up. It appears that the London and Brazilian Bank having successfully inaugurate' their establishment at Rio, are now contemplating the formation of • branch at Pernambuoo. The traffic receipts on the Madras Railway Com pany's south-west line for the months of July, Au gust, and September last, have amounted to 13,885/., 14,4401., and 12,8141. for each month respectively, making the total receipts 41,1391. for the quarter upon 406 miles, against 26,4471. in the same quarter of last year, upon an average of 238 miles open. The increase in receipts has been 14,6921., and in the length of line 168 miles. The first annual meeting of the Commercial Union Assurance Company is called for the 30th December, when a dividend is to be declared. A geneial meeting of the shareholders in the Bank of London is convened for the 19th January. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Company have announced payment in due course of the dividend warrants falling due on the Ist of January on the Venezuela Three and One-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, at the rate of 2 per cent. on the former and 1 per cent. per annum on the latter, as agreed to by the bondholders at a meeting held at the London Tavern on the 20th June last ; also of the dividend falling due at the game time on the Venezuela Six per Cent. Certificates which have been issued for arrears of interest on the Three and One-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds. We are informed that the whole of the prelimi nary capital of the new Mode, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank Corporation (Limited) has been paid up within a few hundred pounds, viz., 31. per share on 25,000 shares, making an aggregate of 75,0001. This result may be considered satisfactory, the prospectus of the bank having been issued so recently as the 4th instant. The letters of allotment in the London and South Western Bank were issued yesterday, and we learn that it is the intention of the directors to commence business forthwith. XOWDAT EVIIIIIIO.

London and Colonial Bank were likewise dearer, and Ottoman Bank firm. Shares in other banks were steady. In miscellaneous undertakings, Oriental Inland Steam and Rio Lnprovookostaimiid-up quoted better, while Ottoman Gas andiAngle- Mexican Mint were flat.

MINES.-(27118 1)417.) T*o °lbsen. There is very little business doing in the miaing market to-day. and prices generally are without change. East Caradon shares are quiet at 45 while North Boskear are in request, at 42 to 44. in the Stock ' Exchange East Cara don shares have been dealt in at 45 ; Great South Tolgus at ; North Crotty at 6} ; Wheal Led oott at 10 ; and Wheal Union at !Si am Foreign and colonial mining have ex perienced no variation. Bon Accord are officially marked ; Fast del key, 2 ; Santa Barbara, 1t ; and United Mexicali, 6. The prospectus of the Cape of Good Hope Copper Miuiug Company (Limited) is issued. The managers are Messrs. John Taylor and Sons, and the undertaking, as a whole, is very respectably constituted. The object is to purchase from Messrs. Phillips, King, and Co., the present proprietors, some large tracts of land in Namaqualand, comprising valuable copper mines, and held at au almost nominal rent. It appears that the properties in question extend over no less than 202,940 acres, and that since the year 1855, when the sales of ore at Swansea beeline consider able, mining operations have been attended with considerable profit. Since 1853, 18,999 tons of copper ore, realising 515,752/., and yielding a pro fi t of upwards of 115,0001., have been sold in this country. The average price obtained has been no less than 271. 3e. per ton. The concern is now in full working order, but a tramway of about 15 miles in length is contemplated. The purchase money of the estates, buildings, machi nery, plant, stores, mineral rights, and the present accumulations of inferior ores, is so arranged that of the capital of 150,0001., nearly 77,0001. is to be left for the working and development of the under taking. A call of 2s. &I per share is to be paid on the shares in the Victoria (London) Mining Company by the 12th January. At the Great North Downs meeting yesterday the accounts, including the October cost and 2,00 W. balance of purchase money, showed a debit balance of 2,7191. 38. 10d. A cell of 10s. per share was made. WhealGrylls sold, on the 20th inst., 23 tons 3 cwt. and 5 lbs. of black tin, at 66/. 12s. 6d. per ton, making an aggregate of 1,5191. is. 3d. The East del Rey Mining Company (Limited) have this day received advice@ from their superintendent, Captain Wm. Treloar, dated Sahara, Nov. 12, in which he says :—" Our works are progressing satisfactorily, and so far as we have opened upon the lodes the results, in the shape of samples, are very encouraging ; indeed, if the lodes yield in the stamps so favourably as in the samples, our most sanguine expectations will be realised." He adds that labourers were plentiful, and the supply of timber sufficient. BUZ& 1P4.10. jAers and D. les. Bank .

SHOCK'S° OCCURRENCE—LOMB Or THREE Lit at. —le the midst of the storm which swept over the country, a fatal accident took place on Friday night, or Saturday morning in Shropshire. This was at the Tibbertoo Paper Mills, near Newport. which are the property of Mr. Mar tin Billing, of Bingham, sad era worked by him. There are two chimney stacks, one of which has been recently built, and is square, 120 feet in height ; there are several cottages close by it. within some fifteen yards. In the midst of the storm, and in the dead of the night, some sixty feet of this chimney was snapped off, and descended with a frightful crash on to the cottages. A man and his wife wore killed in their beds upon the instant. There were five children and their pa. roots sleeping in an adjoining cottage : ors of the children was killed ; that the others should have escaped is almost miracle. The cottages were destroyed at a blow, the in mates forced from their beds, sod in other respects the de 'traction was very great. Mr. Billing himself was sleeping in a cottage class by, lout the mass of building which fell did not reach it. The occurrence has created much excitement in the district, sad being within a abort distance of the famous Lelleshall Ironworks. a great number of persons have visited the scene of the disaster.
