The defendant pleaded • v ariety of pleas, and among others that the safe at the ' pate was sufficiently strong, and further that the cause of action did not accrue within six years. eta plaintiff is the well-known jeweller of Cornbill, a id the defendant is the proprietor of the Phcenix Works, Liverpool, and carrying on busmen .in Moorgate-street, sod be was well-known as an eminent safe manufacturer. fthe 15th of May. 1858, the plaintiff purchased • safe the defendant for forty Vista% which the latter warranted, as the plaintiff alleged, sufficiently &wog to resist any amount of violence. The N is was fixed on the plaintiff's premises, sad lathing oocurred until Saturday night, the 4th February, 1865, when the extraordinary burglary with which the public were familiar took place, and property raked at 6,0001. was stolen. Ow of the harems would be walled before the jury, and he would state how the safe was opened, and the time it took to do it, namely, about thirty minutes, stopping at inter vals as they heard the tramp_ of the polieeman on his beat. Eminent engineers would also be called to prove that the safe could be opened by the instruments used by the Muslin. A smaller safe of the same clam was after weds Woad open by an ordinary blacksmith. in 19 transits. Although this safe m igh t have bean fireproof, it was urged that it was not of suM6sat strength to resist the dash* sad determined attacks of burglars. The *stiff claimed about 2,6001. Mr. John Walker deposed—l purchased the safe in et dedendeat's shop in Idoargato-street is May, iirrh " Mx. Bopley, the defendant's manager, was informed * sae that I bad been recommestled to the defendant by Ypres. Mappin for • safe to put very valuable poverty* such as jewellery and watches, and as there was no convenionoe for • person to sleep on the promime, I wished for • safe that would protect that pepsins* night. I and my son selected one we thought ridable to our Purpose. Mr. Hopley said that safe wee 261. or SI., but it was not the safe he should re othnew a nd he showed us one of their = *ldlest, thief-proof. sod fun-proof safes. I him if be could warrant it as being thief-proof, 04 be replied be could, and added that no thief could brealcit open. I asked the queetion two or three times whether I should be perfectly safe in leaving nay va luable property in it, and he replied, "Yee, pmleatly safe." I then decided upon having the safe according to his re. examendation at 40 guineas. The safe was sent to Oars hill and fixed by the defendant's workmen. I was allowed 10 per cent. for cash, sad I gave my cheque for 361. in payment, for the safe. I occupied two rooms on the groood floor in Oorshill, sad the site was placed in the bath room ; holes were cut is the shatten next to Sun-court, commanding • view of the safe ; gas was burning all night and all the day on Sundays ; the safe was piloted white, and a mirror was plead oi that any person looking through the boles in the shutters °odd see the safe reflected on it, and any °nein front d it. Sir Charles Orcaley occupied the first floor as o•M sof the ground-floor and the basement were occupied tailor. About four years ago I bought another sale, felt was fixed in my shop in Princes-street, Leicester- KUM' Mr. Edward James objected to any evidence being given with reference to any other safe. plaintiff—Mr. Bramwell, the engineer, his experimented 9 Pon tla Cross-mrarnined—l have a distinct recollection of what paned between myself sod Mr. }Tapley, when I purchased the safe. I did not tell Mr. Hoploy about the value of the property that would be put into the safe. There was a partition, 5 or 6 feet high, is the beck room, behind which my men worked. In looking through the boles in the shutters in Corshill the partition would intercept the view ; the partition was put up several years after I had ties ode; there were two holes in the abutters in Sun sout, and through them the iroo.aafe was to be ease u well as the partition. I think persons in Sun. court oat look over the partition. The partition was per manently removed some time since because I have got another room for the workmen. The partition was never objected to as not affording the desired protection. There were no iron bus to the shutters before the robbery, bat I have put them up since. Mr. James—Upon the principle of looking the stable. door after the steed is stolen. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—l said nothing to Mr. Hopley about having holes in the shutters, gas burning at night, &o. Be-examined—The shutters were lined with iron. It was after an attempt to break into the shop I bad holes cut in the shutters and the gas kept burning at night ; leaned the attention of the police to the attempt ; and it was at their suggestion that I had it done—they said it would enhance the security of the place ; the system bad been adopted in banks and other places in London. The shop is now thrown open and the gas kept burning at night. It would kill a person to sleep in the shop. About half of the partition was of clear glees ; the mirror was above the height of the partition, so that the mirror could be distinctly seen through the holes in the shutters. By the Lord Chief Justice—When I purehased this safe I did ant know there were others of a higher price. Mr. Hopley told me this was a perfect safe. Mr. F. Walker corroborated his father's evidence rela.the to the purchase of the safe. Mr. Hopley advised them to take one of the defendant's beet holdfast Ere and thief resisting sates—opening the safe in question at the same time. On his father remarking there was a groat difference in the price of this and the first he looked at, Mr. Hopley said it arose from the strength and quality of the article. His father asked if it was proof against burglars, and Mr. Hopley replied that they might leave their property in it with perfect security, and rest perfectly ',tithed that the safe could not be opened without the aid of the key. The safe was then purchased upon Mr. Heptey's recommendation, witness's father saying "Of coarse you can warrant the safety of my property in that safe f' Mr. Hopley said, " You may red assured, Mr. Walker, that I have given you good advice, and that you will never regret having purchased the safe." No higher priced safe was mentioned. Oa the Maeda alter the robbery Mr. Hopley came to the shop in Mr. James objected to any admissions made by Mr. Hopley at that time being received in evidence. His Lordship ruled that it could not be received. Mr. John Thomas Walker—l have the management of my father's business in Corshill. It is the practice to lock up in the safe at eight all the most valuable part of the stock. On Monday muskeg the 6th Feb., 1865, I found the sale had been broken open, and the stock taken from it; the value of the property in the safe was between 5,000!. and 6,000/., consisting partly of our eve sad partly of articles intrusted to us. The latter was worth about 1 0001. The cost price of the property lost was 5,0631., and we recovered pro perty to the value of 1,9551., leaving a lost of 3,0281. Crowe:mined—l had the management of this shop. I war not present when Mr. Smith, the foreman, put the pro perty away. I never heard any complaints from the police of the partition previous to the robbery. Be.examined—We complained after the robbery of the conduct of the police. Mr. William Smith, plaintiff's foreman, deposed that he locked up the property on Saturday night, and on the Monday morning be found the safe had been broken open and the property gone. By the jury —The key of the safe was always in my pus Thomas Conley, one of the burglars, now undergoing penal servitude for his participation in the robbery, was brought ep in custody to give evidence. He was dressed in a convict's dress, with a good conduct stripe. He de tailed the manner in which the safe was opened. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) TOORD e. 700BD. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Eirrabey, for the petitioner; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Dr. Wambey for the de fondest.

Mon of the set of 1619, which was unrepesled, and wan therefore to be read as part of the preset set, powers of attorney wire required to be verified by oath or affidavit. Siam the pulse of the act of Id6l, one object of which was to give greater facility to credi tors for proving their debt., this verification of powers of attorney bad been dispensed with, under the 116th sec., at meatier' for the choice of assignees end other matters; and Mr. Commisdoner Holroyd was of opinion (le which Mr.Oom missioner Winslow concurred) that the sitting for the choice of assignees, as now held before the Registrar, was an en tirely different meeting from that contemplated by the 139th section of the old sat, sod that the requiremects of that section had no reference to such meetings. The general practice since the pausing of the act of 1861 bad been to dispense with the verification which was formerly °waggery, and though the practice was one which might lead to great abuse, by admitting persons to vote in the choice of assignees who had no right whatever to do so, his Honour would not allow his opinion tostand in theway of that which had been expressed by the other commissioners, or to disturb the existing practice. He should therefore hold that the powers were sufficient, and that the grounds on which it was asked that the usignee should be removed were invalid. As, however, the coofirmation of the choice would come before the court at a subsequent stage, the latter question might main be raised. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN HZ ROBINT JOHN wogrnr.

Beyond this hie debts are of trifling amount. This was the sitting for choice of ie assignees; sad Mr. B. J. Merlyn was chosen. The tank. rapes application for release from custody was not renewed. 26 100 SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) Oits o'OLoax. The railway market is firm today, sad prices have again advanced.

In the stock and share markets today a good deal of attention is direckd to the fortnightly settlement, which will be completed this afternoon. Nevertheless a considerable amount of other buai- nem is going forward, and prices generally exhibit an upward tendency, consequent upon the influx of gold to the Bank, and the absence of demand for silver for the East. , Consols are firm, at the closing quotations of yesterday, and a fresh advance has occurred in most of the foreig.i stocks and British railways.

Bt. ham, • Manchester gentleman, from a cab, in Southwark. B. street, Borough. to it James Pomeroy, 28 K, said that about 6 o'clock on the 60 previous evening he was pasting through Southwark-street, mg towards London-bridge, with Jackson, 46 M, in plain too clothes, when he met the primmer and two other well known 01. thieves. The prisoner had a large portmaotean on hie head, flt and was proceeding towards Unera-street. Witness stopped 81 ' him and asked him how he became nessessed of the portman. j r Misty when he replied that be had just picked it up in the middle of the road. The other men ran away and made their escape while he was stopping the prisoner, whom he conveyed to the station-house. About three-quarters of an boar afterwards the prosecutor came to the station house, and identified the portmanteau as his property. It . appeared that the latter had just been married to a lady in Dorsershire, that after the wedding they came np to Lon ! don by the South Western Railway, and on arriving at Waterloo Terminus they hared • four-wheel Gab and the portmanteau waa put on the too. It was missed just before I they arrived in Wellington-street, Borough.

He hired a rob at the Waterloo Statiou to take them to the London-bridge Tensions for the par pees of proceeding to Paris and the Oontinent. The portmanteau produced was placed securely on the roof of the cab. and when they got to the Borough end of Southwark-street the driver of the vehicle stopped, and told him that the portmanteau was gone. After making some inquiries in the neighbourhood, they drove to the Stones-mid Police-station to give information of the loss, when he saw the prisoner and his portmanteau in the custody of the police. The letter contained his wearing appareland some jewellery. Instead of pr o ce edin g to I Paris by the mail train that night as they had agreed, they were compelled to stop at the International Hotel, near the railway terminus. Mr. Woolrych asked him when it was likely he should return from his tour. Witness replied, in about a fortnight.

HaRJEAR7 MoerEar.We regret to have to announce the death of Sir John Howley (better known by his legal title), which took place this morn ing at his residence, in Upper Fitzwilliarn-street. Mr. Serjeant Howley occupied the position of Chairman of Tippe...ry for many years, during which he earned the public respect by his impartial conduct as a magistrate and the high tone of independence beusiforml maintained. We have but recently he 1 occasion to speak of these admirable qualities in connexion with his name, and we believe there were among his fellow-countrymen no diesentiests from the estimate we then expressed.

PRACTICAL FENIANISM.--ADVICE OF THE " NEW Tows lisasi.D."—Wisely directed the vast machinery of the Fenian omanisation, the fervid faith which its followers have in it, and the liberality with which all dames of our Irish people contribute to its funds, may bettu ned to excellent @cooing, and may accomplish more or trodden Ireland than revolution ever accomplished for any people since the world went round. Fenian eaergies should be directed entirely to the single object of bringing the Irish people out of Irebind into this country. The Foshan brotherhood should become, heart sad soul, an immense emigration society, and their grand purpose should be to further this exodus of their countrymen. By acting with this view through all its agents, and spending its great accumulations of money in this way, Ed Feoianism will do mere for Ireland than it could hare hoped to do in that country. It will give the Irish people • republican govecomeat, and to every Melones a comfortable home. This it can never So in Ireland. Repetitions's= cannot Sourish on that soil. Already is several Western States a movement to further emigration oe • most extensive scale has been set De foot. This originated in Minnesota, bat is widespread. These emigration societies propose to choose available lands and locate the emigrants es they eons' ; snd it is probable that some states will ambit the measure with funds. This is Fedi = cal asaistenee to the Irish. Let the replan give up their bitterness sea mess, plots and plena aad ' squabbles, sad go to work its the spirit of those secisties. and all Instead may yet with mean bless the orgaaisation the reel salvation al the people. —New Fork Mereici, Feb. 3. o.nli 10.181 1 $ shareholders on his basing wieselted to mere, and aceord ingly recommend him to the shareholders for election.
