These were actions by common informers against a beer house keeper, living in St. George's-in-the-Kest, and each plaintiff sued to recover lOW. penalty, under the 25th Cleo. 11. cap. ;H, upon the ground that the defendant had kept ht . ' house open for,public music and dancing without being licensed to do so by the magistr.ites at quarter sessions. The cases came on for trial before Mr. Justice Wines a few days ago, and his lordship held that only one penalty could be recovered, and lie therefore directed FF verdict for the defendant in the emend action. He aisle directed that the venlict should be entered for the plaintiff in the first case subject to the opinion of the court upon a question of law. Mr. Begley now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for the plaintiff in the second. He stated that the act limited the action to six months, and there was evidence of con tinuous keeping open, and therefore he submitted that what was done in the two halves of the year would support both actions. In answer to the court, however, he said that this point had not been raised at nisi pries. The Lord Chief Justice—Then It could not be raised now ; because if raised at nisi pries there might have been an answer to it. Mr. liesley, in continuation, argue d th a t • separate penalty woul d attach for each day's keeping open. If this were nut so, the person keeping the house might get a friend to sue for the penalty, and thus make himself free from any further payment. The court held that only one penalty could he recovered in respect refused. of keeping open during one six months. Rule COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster.—(Before Mr. Baron Channell and a Common Jury.) HVYI4O • CHAPS( %N. ' This was an action for libel against the Standani. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Serjeant T. Atkinson and Mr. Bromley were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. Bernard for the defendant. The plaintiff is a solicitor, and the defendant is the registered printer and publisher of the Standard news paper, and the action complained of was • report of certain proceedings which took place before Mr. d'Eyn court, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, and which were reported in the Standard of Saturday, the Ist of December last. The plaintiff, Mr. John Daniel Pinero, solicitor, of 39, Great James-street, Bedford-row, was summoned with intent to defraud, and by means of false pretences, fraudulently induce a person named Charles Fletcher to write his name upon a piece of paper in order that the same might be afterwards dealt with as a valuable security, contrary to the statute. It appeared that about 30 years since the plaintiff was brought into contact with Fletcher, who had been in the East India military service, but was at that time an annuitant of the company at the rate of 701., in consequence of his having become imbecile in the service. The money was paid through the plaintiff on the certificate of a me dical man. Fletcher, who had 17/. or 181. in the savings bank, applied to the plaintiff to draw it out for him, and he accordingly signed • paper to that effect in the pre sence of the person in whose house Fletcher lodged. The plaintiff accordingly drew out the money, and handed over Fletcher • part of the money, when, to his surprise, shortly after, he received a sumnions to appear at Clerkenwell to answer a charge of having ob tained Fletcher's money under false pretences. The summons was heard, and it was adjourned, the plain tiff being held to bail in his own recognisance of 1001. The case came on for hearing on the last clay of November, and there appeared in the Standard of the Ist of Dee. the following report, which was the libel complained of, and for which special damages were claimed : " ClerkenwelL —The late serious charge against a solicitor.—John Daniel Pinero, solicitor, of 39, St. James's-street, Bedford-row, was summoned before Mr. d'Eyncourt by Mr. Charles Fletcher, as follows :—' For that you, on or about the 18th day o f August, 1866, in the parish of St. Pancras, did unlawfully, with intent to defraud, and by means of false pretences, fraudulently induce the add Charles Fletcher to write his name upon a certain pape r in order that the same might be afterwards dealt with as a valuable security, contrary to the statute.' The facts of the ease were reported on Saturday last. Mr. Straight, barrister, who attended for the prosecution, stated that acting under the suggestion of the magistrate the defendant bad paid the whole of the money in dispute, and, therefore, the summon, would now be withdrawn. Mr. d'Eyncourt allowed that course to be adopted, and the summons was discharged." The magistrate, it appeared, adjourned the case on the first bearing to allow • settlement of the case. The plaintiff did not com plain of the tint report,but only the second, on the ground that the summons which was set out in extern* in the first report formed no part of the proceedings on the second part, and that as it was libellous the report was not pri vileged. The libel having been put in read, The plaintiff, who was very deaf, was called, and stated that he had Fletcher examined, and that he afterwards proceeded to cross-examine him, but he was stopped in his cross-examination by the magistrate, and the case was adjourned. Before the case was stopped he had made • tender of money in court to Fletcher, but less than what he claimed. He did not complain of the first report. Mr. Baron Channell—lf there is anything in it the second report has taken it out. Plaintiff said he afterwards paid the sum he tendered, but less than the amount claimed by Fletcher. In cross-examination, Mr. Pinero said the summons was read on the first hearing, but not on the second occasion. His business had greatly suffered since the report ap , he presumed from people being suspiciou s o f hi m . rh a e r ;: d had withdrawn money from him. He had had no new clients since. Mr. d'Eynciourt on the first hearing said no prosecution would stand, but that he (plaintiff) was bound in honour to pay the money, and that he re oommended him to s e ttl e with Fletcher. Plain tiff, who said be was very deaf, would not undertake to say what Mr. d'E'ynceort said or whether he said anything. He bowed his he a d t o w h a t Mr. Straight said. He had not been considerably embarrassed for some time. He gave a bill of sale in September, and an assign ment for the benefit of creditors the same month. He bad paid money under the assignment. His debts were very This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Serjeant Atkinson addressed the jury, urging that it was a case deserving of damages. Mr. diffard submitted that the publication was privi leged, but the learned judge declined to stop the case. The learned counsel contended that as the report was subetan tially correct, the plaintiff having failed to impugn it, that it was privileged. The newspaper had only discharged its duty in publishing a fair and accurate report of the pro ceedings. If the charge was unfounded, the newspaper had nothing to d o w ith th a t, b u t the plaintiff's remedy was against Fletcher for malicious prosecution, but that he had not ventured to do. Mr. Baron Channel, in summing up, observed that the question for the jury to consider was whether this was a foie and accurate report, and if so, it need not be ver batim. If it was a fair and accurate report then the publication would be privileged.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) . IN RE 11ZYJAMIN HARRIR. _ The bankrupt, a publican, of Newington, applied for his order of discharge. Debts about 800/. Mr. Brough opposed for Miss Annie Kemp, • creditor for 218/. in an action for breach of promise of mar riage. The case was represented as a very aggra vated one. Just before the verdict was given against the bankrupt he had disposed of the lease of his public-house for the large sum of 2,5501., and the fixtures for 507/. He had paid away the whole of this money, and had come to the court on his own petition with assets of only 12/. The proper way to deal with such • °sae was to adjourn the bankrupt until be made • satisfactory offer to his creditors. It was remarkable that the bankrupt bad had more than one action brought against him for bleach of promise of marriage. Mr. Reed appeared for the bankrupt. His Honour said it had been held by the court of appeal that the court had no power to adjourn a ease like this, unless there were grounds to believe that the bankrupt had the means of making an offer to his creditors. There was only one other mode in which be could be reached, if it could shown that he had contracted debts. aftergetting rid of his property, without probable means of payment ; but this did not appear to be the case here. The order of discharge was accordingly granted, Mr. Brough observing that the case disclosed an extraordinary state of the law. fore Mr. Burcham, charged with being drunk at the Borough-road station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, refusing to leave when requested, and assaulting Mr. Francis Smith, the station-master. The latter gentleman said that between nine and ten o'clock on the previous night he was on duty at the plat form of the Borough-road-station when a train stopped on its way from Ludgate-hill and the prisoner got out of a third-class carriage and commenced abusing the pon sengers. Witness went up to him and asked him for his ticket, and after feeling all his pockets he maid that he could not find it and made use of very bad language. Wanes' demanded his fare from him, and on his refusal to give it him, be asked his name and address, which he declined giving, and endea voured to force his way from the station. In preventing his doing so, the prisoner struck at him several times, and would have injured him severely had not a constable come to his assistance and taken him into custody. Mr. Burcham asked him if the prisoner struck him Witness replied in the negative. He struck at witness eight or nine times, but ho kept him off. The prisoner was very much under the influence of liquor, and he had been informed that it was not the first time he bad tills conducted himself in similar manner. In answer to the charge the defendant said that a friend of his took the ticket from him at Ludgate-hill, and gave it him as soon as he got in the carriage, but he forgot in what pocket be put it. He had, however, since found it, and was ready to give it up. Mr. Burcham tined him 10s. or ten days' imprisonment. THE EXPRESS, -- FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1867. IN HE NAIICHANT.

James Dalton was brought before the Lord Mayor, on remand, charged with stealing a gold watch, worth 401. On Monday last, about 5 oclock the prosecutor, Mr. Thomas Bullock, of Rutland-honse, Stratford, was waiting for an omnibus at the Royal Exchange. There were a good many persons standing there, and among them the prisoner and a companion, who had each • light overcoat slung over their left arm. A Bow and Stratford omnibus arrived, and there was a rush to the door. The prisoner was seen to press against the prosecutor, to put the overcoat he was carrying near his waistcoat, and to take from hie pocket a gold watch. He then went on the top of the omnibus, but came down directly, saying there was no room for him. He ran down Princes-street, but was captured by a gentleman named Chamberlain, who had seen him take the watch, and who gave him into custody. The prisoner told the policeman that when be was stopped he was following a man who took the prosecutor's watch. His companion escaped. To-day Mr. Bullock, the prosecutor, said he bad found his watch. When be went home on Monday night he hung his greatcoat in his bedroom, and on Wednes day morning he put his hand into one of the pockets for his gloves. He thought his pocket was very beery, and at the bottom of it he found his watch. The swivel was broken and he supposed that the prisoner or his companion had slipped it into his pocket. The Lord Mayor, after the prisoner bad pleaded guilty to the charge, and sitting in petty sessions with another magistrate, sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A "JACK lii THI OILIEN" CLOWN IN TROUBLZ. . _ . Wm. Smith or Dickinson (he gave both names), described as a labourer , but who was attired in the costume of a " clown," and was stated to have formed one of a " Jack. inthe-Green" party, was charged before Mr. Knox, with stealing a bottle of claret, the property of Mr. Malpas, wine merchant, of Jennyn.street, and also with assaulting police-constable Watson, 222 A. There being no one present on the part of Mr. Malpas when the case was called on, the charge of assault was gone into. Police-oonstable Watson, 299 A, said—Yesterday after noon I sawthe prisoner in company of another man running along Pall-mall, and turn into Crown-court. From what I was informed, I went after the prisoner sad stopped him and asked him why he was running, when he replied, " I did not do it ; it was the others." Directly I took hold of the prisoner, the other man made a blow at me and ran away. I told the prisoner he had stolen a bottle of wine out of • man's basket as he was passing along, and he said, " I'm if I did," and commenced kicking me, and tried to bite me. We both fell, and in doing so my hand got underneath him, and I was a good deal hurt, After 'draggling with the prisoner for a few minutes I agreed to leave go if be would go quietly. He went quietly a short distance and then started off, but I pursued and caught him, and he then became again very violent, and seeing a Jack-in-the-green party, his companions, be called on them to rescue him. With assistance I got him to the station, and while in the dock be tried to bite my hand. On the charge being read over the prisoner said he would own he took the bottle of wine, but that the others were as bad, that he took the bottle and threw it at them, and then they threw it back. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. MARYLEBONE. SCENES AT HENDON RACES. Four omnibus conductors were summoned for carrying more passe re on their vehicles than allowed by law. Morgan, 196 X, said—On the evening of the 22nd of April he was on duty in the Edgware-road, and sew an omnibus conducted by Freeman, badge 769, carrying more passengers than allowed, both inside and out. On the outside they were sitting on the edge of the board which protects the feet and where the advertisements generally are. This was a dangerous thing to allow.

There was such a class of people there that it was impossible to avoid overcrowding. They were a lot of vagabonds and roughs—roughs they were, and not gentlemen. No sooner —in fact, before his 'bus could draw up properly, they all rushed upon it, and regularly besieged it. He called upon them to get down, and they refused. He called upon the police to assist, and even they were powerless to act. He was so disgusted that he would never take another journey to the place. Mr. Mansfield said he could recollect about two years ago some cases coming before him from this Welsh Harp, and then the police were powerless against such a mob. He could quite understand the omnibus being besieged on a day like Easter Monday, with races and all. Elston, the driver, said—There was a rough mob of from 300 to 400 persons they were besieged by. The officer said there were 20 passengers outside, and • greater number than allowed inside. The proper number was 14 out and 12 inside. Mr. Mansfield said he should diamiai the summons. In the second case the evidence was precisely the same sad the conductor said what the last witness had said was quite true. The roughs were like • lot of cannibal,. They fought and kicked, and on their getting down he lost the greater portion of his fares. His worship might have seen an account in the newspapers of the fights going oa there. Never no more for hi m t o th e W e l s h races ; and upon this he hoped his worship would take • favourable view. Mr. Mansfield dismissed this and the other two sum- MOORS. 8017THWARK.

There has been but little change in the distribution of atmo spherical pressure over the British Isles slate yesterday morning. A decrease has now commenced in the uorth-east, where tem perature is less than in south.weet. Winds are still light. The weather is generally cloudy with fog in south-west; and rain has fallen on the west coast.

The Con dition of the knee-joint now is that of a part in which inflammation and irritation have wholly subsided and swelling is slowly diminishing. The surgeons of the Princess are confidently anticipating that they will shortly be able to apply a contentive and supporting apparatus, which will ale, her royal highness to move about with safety. Mean time, and until this may be done without risk, it has not been thought advisable to allow the illustrious patient the minor relaxation of movement from the bed to the sofa, which inlets troublesome affections is the ordinary prelude to freedom.—BrdisA Medical Journal. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—A meeting was held at the cake of Belts Life yesterday afternoon, when the referee's decision as to how the stakes which O'Baldwin and Wormald were to have fought for on Saturday morn ing last are to be awarded, was abundantly discussed. Certain gentlemen patrons of the ring represented O'Baldwin, and argued that, in accordance with the bye laws, the decision pronounced by the referee was a wrong one. It was finally agreed that a statement of the reasons adduced should be conveyed to the stakeholder, who was not present. O'Baldwin maintains that he meant fighting, and that only an accident prevented him from meeting his antagonist as agreed. &CAPE OF • FENIAN PRISONER.—The officials at Tamworth station were alarmed at midnight on Wed newlay by the receipt of a telegram from Stafford, an nouncing that a Fenian prisoner had jumped from the Irish mail train, a little south of Tamworth station. An engine, with an inspector, were at once despatched up the line to Atherstons, and down the line to Lichfield station, and all the available hands were despatched north and south of the station to search the embankments, but up to the present time no trace of the missing prisoner has been found, and there is no doubt that he has made Ms escape. How he could get clear from hie two custodians and escape without injury from a mail train in full motion, and after wards elude his pursuers, is a question which has caused much comment, and which, it is hoped, will be satiates. foray explained. From further information, it appears the prisoner's name is ltoonan, and that he was in charge of Sergeant William Savage, A Division, Metropolitan police, and Constable Cunning, of the Irish constabulary, on a journey from London to Dublin. The officers state the prisoner escaped about 11 p.m., that he made a bound to the carriage window, and went through before they had time to liaise him. They heard him distinctly fall to the ground. They are now in Tamworth prosecuting inquiries, but have not been enabled, up to the present time, to gain any tidings of the missing prisoner.— Times. - - THE In .

There is a moderate inquiry to-day for the English funds owing to an increased belief that the Luxemburg difficulty will meet with a pacific' solution, but any tendency t) improvement is restrained by a fear that a riot may occur on . Monday next in Hyde-park. The present prices show no alteration, compared with those last cur rent yesterday. Some of the foreign stocks are in request, but home railways are extremely heavy, and quotations exhibit an almost general reduction. The speculators for a fall have made large additional sales, being emboldened by a belief that bankers are disposing of railway stocks upon which they have made ad vances. At the same time, the public are holding almost entirely aloof from this department of the Stock Exchange. To-morrow being the 4th of the month, and a large amount of Indian paper having just arrived at maturity, the demand for money is decidedly active, and the charge for the best bills is fully equal to the Bank minimum. It is thought, how ever, that the inquiry will somewhat diminish next week, and that the existing rates will be hardly maintained in the open market. Consols are now quoted 91 to I, for money and the 9th inst., and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 991 to Exchequer Bills are steady, at 20a. to 265. prem. The India Five per Cent. stock is unchanged, at 110 to 1. Turkish Bonds of 1865 and Italian of 1861 are in request, and have improved I to g per cent. ; but Spanish Passive and Certificates have declined #. The other speculative descriptions are steady. Turkish Bonds of 1865 are quoted 284 to 291 ; Greek, 121 to 131 ; Spanish Passive, 201 to it ; ditto Certificates, 131 to it; Italian of 1861, 48 to # ; Mexican, 15} to 1. Bank shares are quiet, and prices generally show no movement.

A meeting of the Imperial Continental Gas Asso ciation is convened for the 28th inst., when a divi dend will be declared for the half-year ending the 31st of December last. No bar gold was bought from the Bank yesterday for the Continent, but about 50,000/. in clipped sovereigns was withdrawn, and will be melted into bars in this country. The committee of investigation of the Brighton Railway Company have issued a " Supplementary Report," in which, premising that the direc tors have hitherto declined to provide the com mittee with copies of the agreement with the Surrey and Sussex Railway Company, and other evidence, they cite the statistics of the capital, traffic, and expenditure of the company for the last ten years, to prove the ruinous results of the policy pursued since the termination of Mr. Laing's chairmanship. The main points of this objection able policy are stated to be, hostility with neigh bouring companies, leading to expensive lines through barren districts, and generally a dis position to push traffic, regardless of the cost. The committee declare that to save the property not a moment must be lost in intro ducing a thorough change of system, and they accuse the directors of having last year " charged to capital and paid in dividends on the ordinary stock 173,6321., which should have been added to the amount of p referential interest." The com mittee accordingly pronounce for an accurate state ment of the company's financial position, the framing of an adequate financial scheme, the abandonment of all unnecessary works, a revision of fares and working expenses, alliance with neighbouring companies, and a reform of the direction. The shareholders are requested to attend the meeting un the 9th inst., in order to vote for its postponement, or to send their proxies at once to the committee. _ The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4401. over the corre sponding period of 1866 ; the Great Northern an increase of 1,9691. ; the Great Eastern en increase of 3,0231. ; the London and South Western an increase of 2,726/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire an increase of 1,3651. ; the North Eastern a de crease of 7,302/. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire a decrease of 588/. ; the North British an increase of 5631. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 2,7411. ; and the Metro politan Extension an increase of 371/. A meeting of the London and Australian Agency Company (Limited) will be held on the 21st inst., for the purpose of receiving the directors' report and the balance-sheet to the 31st of December last, and of declaring a dividend. The subjoined, on the market for American securities, is from the circular of Mews. Satter thwaite and Co. : There is • marked change in the tone of the London market for American securities since our last, the de cidedly more reassuring aspect of European politica having induced large purchases of United States securities, to cover sales which had previously been made on the fear of war between France and Prussia. 5-20 Bonds are last quoted 711 to A, alter having touched 724, ex coupon, which is equivalent to the highest figure that they have ever reached in this country. Illinois Central shares have been steadily supported, and leave off 75i to 764, or 3 dela. above the price of this day week. In Erika there has been • very large business, and the quotation has advanced nearly 6 dole. per share, visa., to 421 to 421, the rise being partly attributable to purchases on New York account, and partly to cover "bear sales" on this side. Atlantic and Great Western securities are firmer, but without any material alteration in value. • The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, May 1, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue £.13,167,410 Decrease £38,655 Circulation active Z.V.39,665 Increase 174,280 Public deposits 7,032,501 Incream 706,672 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 12,886,314 Increase 10,156 Other securities in banking department 19,169,324 Inman 919,618 Coin and bullion is both departments Seven day sad other bills— 479.647 !acmes 56,111 The Rest 3,125,803 Decrease 7,346 --..— Notes In nerve Total reserve (notes& nein) in banking department 10,949,230 Decrease 262,312 A decided increase in the demand for money is shown by the addition of 919,618/. to the Hank's advances on private securities, but owing to the increase in the government depositA, the reserve has been trenched upon to the extent of only 262,3121. A reflux of coin from the pro% inces is indicated by the fact that, while 192,0001. in gold was withdraws from the Bank for exportation during the week, the falling off in the coin and bullion above shown is only 88,0321.

As regards prices the market presented a decidedly firm lippllZßllo3. The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands wee tolerably good. The prices realised were quite on a par with those current at the early part of the week, althea& the demand was by no means active. In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed steadily, at full quot►tions. Barley mine freely to hand, but the supply was almost entirely composed of foreign produce. The transactions were on a moderate scale, at the full prices of Monday. Malt was firm in price, with a limited inquiry. Oats commanded a fair amount of attention, and good sound corn was very firmly held. The supply was good. Beans were scarce and dear. Peas were in fair request, and prices ruled firm. The supply was only moderate. The flour trade ruled steady at the recent improvement On the whole the inquiry for seeds ruled firm.
