• , . 8 4 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF 00XMONS.—FRIDAY, MAT 25. At 4 o'clock, on the house being counted, there were only 35 members present, and the house stood adjournod until Monday. • COUJIT OP COMMON COUNCIL. !SE CORPORATION or LONDON AND PRE RRTROPOL/TAN BOARD OF WORKS. • • • - - A special Court of Common Council was held yesterday M Guildhall, under the presidency of the Lotto MAYOR, for the purpose of electing a representative of the City of Loudon at the Metropolitan Board of Works, in the room of Alderman Finis,ho has resigned. Deputy SwatAma proposal Aldermen Stone to 111 l the vacancy. Deputy OBBARD said before the court came to a decision he should be glad to be informed whether, in the event of the worthy &Herman being elected, he would be able to spare the time , that was required for the performanced the *unportantdotiesthat would devolve upon him as one of the representatives of the City of London at the Metro politan Board of Works. (Hear, hear.) Alderman STONE begged to be allowed to state that he bad never solicited the appointment, and in reply to the question that had been put by the worthy deputy, he could inform him that, although he could have wished that one of the senior aldermen had been proposed to fill the vacancy, still, if the court should do him the honour to elect him as their representative at the Metropolitan Iloard of Works, he should have plenty of time to devote to the performance of the duties that would devolve upon him. (Hear, hear.) Alderman Rosa seconded the nomination of Alderman Stone. Mr. H. L TAYLOR said that before the court came to a decision he should like to say a few words upon the sub jest, and make them aware of what they were doing. As one of the representatives of the City at the Metropolitan Board, he could inform them that it was moat important that any gentleman who should be chosen to fill that car sit i tin should be prepared to attend every meeting of the (Hier.) The court was aware that the corporation had only three members to represent them. (An hoe. member " Not enough.") This was quite true. The value of therateable pro rtyinthe City of London wa51,410,8.501. and they returned only three representatives to the Me tropolitan Board, whereas for Bethnal-green, Mile-end, St. Luke's, Fulliam, Bermondsey, Woolwich, and one or two other places, in which the whole rateable value was only just equal to that of the City of London, nine mem bers were returned, and it appeared to him that the City of London ought at least to return the same number of representatives, and that at present it was most inade quately represented by having only three members at the board. Mr. MHOWIN said he thought the court was indebted to Mr. Lowman Taylor for the trouble he had taken to obtain the information he had given to the court ; and it appeared to him that the City of London was not only entitled to have a larger number of representatives at the Metropolitan Board of Works, on account of the value of the rateable property in it, but also on the ground of po pnlation. He did not allude to the night, but to the day • population, and if that was taken into consideration, it •• would be found to be much larger than that of the whole of the districts that had been referred to : end if the City was fairly treated they ought to have at least 10 or 12 members at the board, instead of having only three. (Hear, hear.) Alderman Stone was then unanimously elected, and the court shortly afterwards adjourned. METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS. The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board was held yesterday, at their offices, Spring-gardens ; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. Tenders were opened for deepening and re-contracting the Counters Creek newer, from Royal-crescent, Uxbndge-road, to Bromley-road. They were as follows :—J. Wainwright, 22.9471.; J. and L. Williams, 19,0001. ; J. Niblett, 19,500/. ; J. Thsckeray, 15,8.0/. ; Hill and Piddel, 20,500/. ; and Edwar d ' Hurst, 18,7001. They were referred to the finance com mittee. Mr. New-ton brought forward s motion, of which Le had given notice, on the subject of the supply of gas to the metropolis, in which, at great length, he urged the necessity of an early consideration of the question, as he said the existing gas companies were applying in the pre sent session of parliament for very extensive addi tional powers, which, if obtained, would aggravate the nuisance of which the ratepayers of the metropolis had long complained. Thirteen existing gas companies realised immense profits, but still the price of gas to the consumers was very high, and the quality was not of the best illuminating power. These thirteen gas com panies had each its own set of engineers, directors, clerks, auditors, accountants, and other officers, and they ab sorbed a large amount of the grata income, but if they were consolidated into one body, either under the control of this board or the corporation of the City of London, the ratepayers of the metropolis might be supplied with gas of a better quality and much cheaper to the consumer'. He instanced the case of Manchester, where the gas was supplied by the municipality at ;is. 2d. per 1,000 feet, and . of a much higher illuminating power than that supplied to London. He did not think that the board contem plated, or would parliament sanction, any confis cation of the interests of the existing gas com panies, hut he believed that the time was come when the board or some other body should take those companies under an equitable arrangement. His object was to obtain information, so that when the time came fora bill to be framed that board would be in a position to give an opinion as to what ought to be done. There was one great object to be borne in mind, and that was the necessity of removing gas works altogether away fleet London. He moved, " That the report of the select committee of the House of Commons on the Gas Metro- polls Act. 1860, be referred to a special committee of this board for consideration and report, and that the com mittee be saithorised to confer with vestries and district boards." Mr. Legg seconded the motion. Mr. Miller, 11. P., said he thought the right wsy of beginning would be for that board to address a letter to the Home Secre tary, to inquire whether it was the intention of the Home office to act upon the ree.onmiendations of the committee. If the Home-office replied in the affirmative, then they would no doubt work with the board, and it would be time enough to go into the minutia proposed by Mr. Newton. After some discussion the motion was put and agreed to. The solicitor presented a draft bill for the ex tension of the coal and wine dues, leans, and special im provement rates. The routine business was then pro ceeded with, and the board adjourned. THE FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM AND THE INDUS TRIAL DWELLINGS COMPANY. —A special general court of the guardians of the Female Orphan Asylum was held yes. teriLly at the Asylum, Westnanster-road, for the purpose of considering an offer made by Mr. Alderman IN atcrlow on behalf of the Industrial Dwellings Company, for the lease en purchase of the Rresent asylum and the grounds attache I thereto. Mr. btone presided. Mr. Booth, the secretary, read the minutes of previous courts and com mittees, from which it appeared that the corporation of the asylum, which now contains 151 children, had decided to remove the institution into the country, and had put. chased, for 14,500/. the mansion and 22 acres of Ertl at Beddington-park, near Croydon, which had adapted for the accommodation of two hun dred children, and was to be opened on the 27th of June next by the Duke of Cambridge. Having, therefore, no further use from that date for the present asylum buildings and grounds, the committee had /slyer , tised them for sale or lease, they being the freehold pro ', perty of the corporation, and an offer for the lease and purchase having been made to the committee, they had resolved to convene this special meeting of the guardians, to recommend such offer to their adoption. The chairman said the offer made by Mr. Waterlow, on behalf of the Industrial Dwellings Company, was as follows :—To take a lease of the whole property for 99 years ; the first year to pay a peppercorn rent, the second year 5001., the third year rdor., and the fourth and every succeeding year 1,0001., with the option of purchase within seven years for the sum of 25,000/. The committee had tried to get better terms, but not being able to do so they recommended the above offer to be accepted. Mr. Mortimer then moved, "That the offer of Mr. Alderman Waterlow be accepted, and that it be referred to the committee to carry out the necessary details." This was, after some discussion, carried by about two to one. THAMES ANGLING PRESERVATION SOCIETY. —The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the members of this society was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. .Samuel Whitbread, M.P., in the chair. Mr. W. H. Brougham, the Honorary Secretary, read the report of the Sub-committeo of Pisciculture, from which it appeared that the young fry removed from the apparatus at Hamp ton to the receiving ponds at Sunbury amounted to : Salmon, 14,500 ; salmon trout, 910 ; Great Lake trout, 350 ; common trout, 20,720 ; chary, ombre, cheva lier, 1,300 ; and in addition to these 1,000 Great Lake trout have been sent to the Royal Lake, at Windsor, making an aggregate of 38,780. It also stated that trout had been turned into the river at Penton Hook, and also with some salmon into the stream below Sunbury Weir, and they had been taken in small nets, the fish having much improved in size. Mr. W. H. Ffen nell, in proposing the adoption of the report, said that he had much pleasure in doing so, and could not express sufficient surprise to find so many gentlemen subscribing • such large =MR for the encouragement and benefit of a • sport which was for the delight of others. The salmon went down to the amend returned, but the trout was local, and if the river couldbe kept clean and preserved, the salmon • would flourish. The trout would have to be properly pro . tooted in the spawning season, more particularly against the dace who always infested the ground during the spawning, and were great destroyers of the ova. He limped the society would persevere in their efforts, more • especially in the propagation of the trout. Mr. Frank . Buckland remarked upon the greet benefit the society - would receive from the system which has been adopted of - having wholly paid keepers . . Mr. S. Ponder only desired to say how bene fi cial the pusung of the Thames Navigation Bill would be in placing the jurisdiction of the river in the hands of one board. The usual complimentary votes to the chairman, the hon. secretary, and the executive, closed the business. „ ',; * ” ( A i i' • " ".: !'7"7 . (7• 7 : c THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1866.

BAIL COURT.—MAT 25. Map st NIA Prius.—(Before Mr. Justice Lash and Common Juries.) auTrobt AND ANOTHER V. 1111071 0 AND ANOTHER. This was a ease of alleged fraud, the action, however, being brought to recover damages for taking away the plaintiffs' goods. Dr. Kenea)y and Mr. M. Williams were counsel for the plaintiffs; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Serjesnt Ballantine, and Mr. Oppenheim were counsel for the defendants. Dr. Kenealr, in stating the plaintiffs' case to the jury, characterised it as one of the greatest frauds that had ever been disclosed in a court of justice. The plaintiffs were Mr. Sutton and Dr. Sergeant. The former was a person of great medical ability, but not being a duly qualified practitioner, he had associated kimbelf with Dr. Sergeant, a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. They carried on a very lucrative business in Gower-street, but in conse quence of the unfortunate transactions they had had with the defendants their establishment bad been broken up and they bad been utterly ruined. They had parted with 9501., for which they did not possess the worth of even a penny whistle. The defendants, who are foreigners, have carried on business in Oxford-street for many years as dealers and manufacturers of musical instruments. Dr. Sergeant was a man of great musical taste, and on one occasion gave the large sum of 1,250/. for a musical instru ment. In 1863 Dr. Sergeant, agreed to purchase a euterpion from the defendants for 400 L, to be paid for half in cash and the balance in two bills of 100/. each. The defendants in 1864 wrote to the plaintiff the letter con taining the following : " We are very much obliged by the readiness you show in taking up the bills, as at this season of the year our customers are all out of town and leave us with an empty exchequer." A second euterpion was sent to the plaintiffs, and an acknowledg ment for the receipt of 4001. for musical instruments was given by the defendants. A further sum of 1501. was paid, and in January, 1865, the defendants applied to Sergeant for 2001. more, but he refused to advance the sum, and then it was, the learned counsel said, the defend ants resorted to devices which bad astonished him. About three or four years since Sergeant, at one of Debenham and Storr's sales, purchased three pianos as Broadwood's, and as their appearanoe was deteriorated, Sergeant caused new labels of Broadwood's in ivory to be inserted in them, and one of these labels got into the bands of Messrs. Chap man and Clarke, the defendants' attorneys. Soon after the re fusal to advance the 2001. by Sergeant legal proceedings were commenced by the defendants. There were cross actions, and they were referred to Master Gordon, and the defend ants gave information to the detectives and to Messrs. Broadwood of what they called the forgery of the ivory plate. On the day appointed by the Master for hear ing the cases, Clarke asked for an adjournment on the ground of the absence of a material witness. Two detectives were outside, and on the next day Sutton and Sergeant were apprehended, and charged with forging the label. The plaintiffs' papers were taken away, but fortu nately the receipts for the money paid to the defendants were left behind, and by that means the plaintiffs were able to produce them. Whilst they were in custody Mrs. Sutton called on Imoff and offered to give him up the instruments they had in their ion if he would induce Messrs. Broadwood to with draw from the prosecution ; he said he would endeavour to do so, and first took her to Chapman and Clarke, his solicitors. Chapman said they had not got the prosecution to conduct, but told her they had no doubt they could get Messrs. Broadwood to withdraw if she got her husband to sign an order for the giving up the instruments. Whilst Mrs. Sutton was at Chapman and Clarke's, liners partner went to Sutton's house and removed the instrument and some other things. Sutton and Sergeant reluctantly signed the paper, and afterwards Chapman appeared as a witness against them, and they were committed for trial. Mrs. Sutton remonstrated with Chapman, but be informed her that upon Ponsford's cross-examination it would be impos aible to obtain a conviction. They were afterwards told they would be discharged on pleading guilty, but the Re corder took a different view of the case, and sentenced them each to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour, and certain parties were compelled to refund 150 f. which had been paid with a view to getting their discharge. After the examination of witnesses, the further hearing of the case was adjourned. 1 1 2 Number Result of reported eases I attacked. from the commenoement I A. of the disease. 1 .6 .'

(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RIC ROSANNA DUPIN PRAT. This bankrupt, described as a dressmaker, of South street, Grosvenor-square, and since of King's-cross-road, will be remembered from the protracted law proceedings in which she was engaged against the Earl and Couatess of Zetland, in whose service she had lived. She came before the court with debts of 2721. ; no assets ; and ascribed her failure to having been unsuccessful in suits in law and equity, which she was advised to prosecute. Amongst her creditors are Mr. Justice Blackburn, 151., stated to be for law costa; Mr. H. E. Vowles, solicitor, Gresham-street, 191.; and the Right Hon. the Earl of Zetland, 75/., all for law costs. This was the sitting for examination and dis cha Mr. Aldridge stated that the only peculiarity in the case was that all the creditors, seven in number, were for law costs. No creditor appeared to oppose. The Commissioner—Were these all actions brought against thebankrupt ? Mr. Aldridge—No ; actions brought by her. She stated the cause of her insolvency to be, that she was unsuccess ful in suits of law and equity, which she had been advised to prosecute. The bankrupt stated that all her debts had been incurred through the proceedings against the Earl of Zetland, which had been going on for six years, and would be brought before the Court of Error in June next. She had also sued Mr. Vowles, her solicitor, for compromising the case. She considered that she was entitled to a great many thousands of pounds both from the Earl of Zetland and Mr. Vowles. The Commissioner—ln that case, if you are successful, you will be able to pay all your creditors in full. -The Bankrupt—Yes, if I am successful. The Commissioner—Then I shall adjourn this case till after the vacation. You will have protection, which is all you want. Adjourned to the 9th November. THE MYSTERIOUS POISONING CARE.—On Thurs day, near Newcastle, the inquiry was resumed at the Blackbird Inn, Ponteland, relative to the circumstances attending the death of John Bushby, who with his brothers George and William died from the effects of arsenical poison accidentally or wilfully administered, at a farm which they occupied at Donkin's Houses, about two miles from that place. The witnesses examined were Dr. Heath, of Newcastle ; Thomas Holston, servant man ; John Watson, nephew of the deceased ; and Elisabeth Hominy, the housekeeper. The medical testimony went to show that death had no doubt been caused by arsenic, though the symptoms were judged to be at one time like those in certain cases of diphtheria. The three other persons—who are still suffering more or less from paralysis consequent upon having taken poison—described their series of attacks, but failed to furnish any informa tion which might be regarded as a key to the solution of the problem. Holston had to be helped out of the room where the jurymen sat. He noes two sticks in walking about, experiences numbness and weakness of the limbs, and looks very feeble. The lad Watson is in a very delicate state of health, his illness being aggravated by an abscess in the aide having independent origin. The housekeeper, a woman of middle age and stature, small and degenera ted figure, and cadaverous countenance, bad to be carried bodily into and out of the coroner's court by police , officers. There was much questioning about the buying of the groceries—the preparation and service of the meals, and the use of poisons for killing rats, pickling wheat, or dipping sheep ; about the good or which existed between the several parties ; about the meaning of certain singular observation, as to the cause of the illness of the brothers Bushby, and as to who was thought to be to blame • about there being too many masters, and the pro spect of matrimony, and the like ; but no great or lading fact was elicited. The housekeeper, although cautioned that her evidence might criminally implicate her and be used against her, at once agreed to be sworn, and an swered all the questions put to her unhesitatingly and in a straightforward manner. The proceedings were further adjourned. — Newcastle Chronicle. SUSPECTED MURDER ]?EAR ROCHDALE. —The Leeds Mercury states that an inquest was held at the Hop wood Arms, Stattocks, near Bluepits, touching the death of John Brennan, a farm labourer, employed by Mr. Robert Burrows, the landlord of the Hopwood Arms. James Burrows, the son of the landlord, is in custody on suspicion of having been concerned in causing his death. The two men had been seen to go into the stable together, Burrows not quite sober. Shortly afterwards the latter came out, and went to Rochdale. The sister of the deceased, on going into the stable, found him lying dead against the wall. Frederick W. Booth, residing at Rochdale, said he made an examination of the body of the deceased on Wed nesday. Both eyes were discoloured, and the hands were partially clenched. There was a wound on the sight temple which penetrated to the skull ; it was an inch in length. , There was another wound on the top of the head, an inch in length, and cutting through the scalp. There was a large deep wound on the crown of the head, cuttingthrough the structures. Behind the left ear there was • large deep wound, which extended towards the jaw. The skull was very much fractured, and a piece of the skull about the size of half-a-crown had been driven in upon the brain. In the front of the left ear there was a smaller wound. He bad come to the conclusion that death had been caused by the fractures of the skull and the coin. pression upon the brain. The Ooroner—Was it possible for the wound to be produced by the shoe of a horse? Witness replied that he was of opinion that the shoe of a horse oould not have produced such wounds. A moderately blunt instrument would have producedsuch wounds. After some further evidence the inquest was adjourned. There is only one case of cholera remaining in the Liverpool workhouse, that of the child who *aught the disease from the nurse, and who is not now expected to recover, though the previous accounts were more favour able. The anxiety on the subject is now gradually subsiding in Livarpool. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

THE Qronw 11r:cr.—Respecting the new ar rangement for the hunting of the Quorn country, the sport ing correspondent of the Leicester Journal writes in that paper of yesterday : " The arrangement made with the Marquis of Hastings to hunt the country, which was, we believe, confirmed at the meeting convened for that purpose on Saturday last, at St. James's Hotel, in London, will be hailed with much satisfaction as the settling of a difficulty which once appeared formi &Lie and threatened to end in the cutting up of the finest I tract of hunting country in the kingdom. His lordship has always been a keen follower of the sport, and main tained his place well in the front, and the addition of the horn at his saddle bows is not likely to decrease his vigour. With much foresight he secured the ' cream' of the Quorn pack, to which he has since added some of the best blood in Mr. Drake's pack, and has now got fifty-two couples of hounds that are quite capable of sustaining the reputation of the Quorn. It is not definitely settled where the hounds will be kept, but they will stand at Quorn, and there seems to be no better spot apart from its associations, and it is to be hoped that an arrangement will be come to by which the horses anti hounds may remain there. There are several names mentioned for huntsman, but there is little doubt that the marquis will appoint a man who has some knowledge of the country, and who is well up at his business. Hunting men, who have been waver ing during the time the question has remained on the Lapis, will now be able to conclude their arrangements for next season, and we wish the noble master every success in what must amongst sportsmen always be an enviable position, viz., the mastership of a pack so widely known and celebrated as the Quorn.'

DAVEY, M.P.—Mr. Richard Davey, M.P. for West Cornwall, met with an accident on Wednesday evening, whilst underground at Fowey Consols Mine. In company with Mr. Kendall, M.P. for East Cornwall, he had been underground at Polharmon Mine, and was returning vii the 60-fathom level, and whilst they and the agent were explaining to a young gentleman in company with them the nature of the working of the man engine, Mr. Davey was observed to suddenly disappear from the collar of the shaft through the man-hole in the ladder way, by the aide of the man engine rod. He fell a distance of 12 feet, which brought him to the man-hole of the next sollar, and which he lay across. The agent, Captain Philip Rich, who observed the fall, descended with extraordinary rapidity by the ladder to his assistance, and happily removed him from his very perilous situation, otherwise Mr. Davey's legs would have been crushed within ten seconds, by the descending step of the man engine rod. The unfortunate gentleman was with difficulty drawn to the surface, and taken to Fowey Consols counting-house, where he now lies with an injury in the back, under the medical treat ment of Dr. Row and Mr. Pace. His friends, Mr. Kendall, and Mr. Richard Foster, of Castle, with the Fowey Console agents are rendering him all possible assistance.— Western Morning News. THE NEW THEATRE, SOUTH SHIELDS.-011 Whit- Monday the new theatre recently erected at South Shields was opened. It is noticeable chiefly on account of the improved plan which has been adopted by the architect. Of the 1,560 sittings in this new edifice all have a good view of the stage. The old and very doubtful horse-shoe arrangement has given place to a plan in which the auditorium is made a semi-circle of 28 feet, opening before the axis of its diameter by curves of contrary flexure to a width of 34 feet at the first column of the proscenium. The stage, which is 25 feet wide at the opening, lies three and a half feet above the level of the pit. AU the floors have a considerable inclination. The ceiling is circular, 34 feet in diameter, with a slight rise towards the centre.

THE METROPOLITAN HORSE SHOW.—Yesterday was the closing . day of the Great Metropolitan Horse Show, and in point of number the visitors were almost equal to those of any other day. Mr. John Bannister, one of the directors, had the management of the arena, and whether regarded as a means for exhibiting the improve ment in horses, or viewed in a financial sense, the show has been altogether the most successful horse show ever held. At the conclusion of the show last evening the exhibitors in a body waited upon the secretary, and expressed their high satisfaction at the general arrangements. The show closed shortly after 7 o'cbck, and it is computed that very nearly 100,000 persons have visited it. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.— A singular occurrence happened at a poultry show on Thursday at Woodbridge, in Suffolk. A strong gust of east wind blew down the marquee, breaking the pens and releasing a considerable number of the birds, which dispersed themselves about the grounds, and betook themselves to the neighbouring shrub beries. The birds, which were sent by famous exhibitors from all parts of England, and were very valuable, were fortunately all recovered, bat in the absence of the owners it was found impossible to identify them all and restore them to their proper pens.
