AND KAMM OF • 0017SYY COOST Ella. IP. - - - - Mr. Bass and Mr. Keathley showed cause in this use ea behalf of the plaintiff and Mr. T. U. Marshall, the kedge of the county court. This was a rule for a prohibition to restrain Mr. Marshall, the jedge of the county court of Leeds, from taking farther proceedings in this cause, on the grossed that that court had ao jurisdiction in the cause, as the amount claimed by the plaintiff exeeided 601. During last term the rule had been granted on affidavits, which stated that the plaintiffs annelid amounted to 961. Ns., which sum was reduced by the plaintiff crediting the defendant with certain payments, to ;631. Is. 3}1., but without the consent of the defendant. On an objection being raised as to the jurisdiction of the learned judge, and a case cited in support of this objection , he said be would not be guided by any such technical ob jections, but " would kelp the plaintiff all he could," and he accordingly directed the plaintiff to amend the parti culars of demand so uto reduce the amount to 601. This was done without the consent of defendant's counsel. It was farther stated in the affidavits that the defendant having left the court, the judge directed the bill of para sitism so amended to be served on his attorney, and pro leaded with the case, and finally gave a verdict for the plain or lor 601., with immediate execution, and in oppoation to e! ics= . Con made by the defendant's attorney to stay s, so that the verdict might be appealed against. the lest bill of particulars, which set forth that 631. Is. 3d. was claimed, was attached this aotics by the plain• tiff—. And I seek to recover, 60 '., the extent of the juris diction of this court." The amended bill of particulars did not give the defendant credit fur payments made by or for him, but stated that, " This action is brought to recover the sum of 601., in satisfaction of the sum of 961. 16s. Bd., the amount due to me oa the following account, and I abandon the excess." In now showing cause against the rule, the learned counsel said that the saw had been originally postponed for the accommodation of the defendant; that when the cause came to be beard and the objection was made as to thejurisdictiun of the court, and the power to amend, the judge din not state what was attributed to him, and further that the defendant having refused to produce the copy of the particulsn served on him, the plaintiff'. at torney amended the bill of particulars in her presence, by which the tuns was rebuqu'shed. The affidavits of the learned fudge also contradicted the expressions ascribed to him by the plaintirs affidavits, and stated that he had admit - ed the authority cited as the bill of particulars then stow, but as that authority did not go so far as to provost the court from amending the particulars, he agreed to an application from plaintiff's attorney to amend on his abandonit.g all the excess beyond the 601. The judge had advised the plaintiff to consent to a nonsuit, and them to take out another summons with a bill of particulate, which could not be objected th, but as the plaintirs as. torney refused to acquiesce in this course, he tried the cause is the presence of the defendant's counsel and attor ney, who took no pert in the proceedings. The &die strongly denied that be assumed a jurisdiction which he tildl not porn's, but that he exercised that Jacinto Con, which he considered a technical oleasaa would not deprive him of. Upon these askant., the learned counsel submitted that no County Court had jarisdietios, and that it could not be deprived of CM jurisdiction by a faulty bill of particulars in the fiat tee stance, but that the particulars objected to contained an abandonment of ailed:dui beyond the sum of 501., which we. all that was necessary to give the court jurisdiction. The nrticalan set forth that the balance was an agreed balaate between the parties. The judge had exercised a proper discretion and power in making the amendment. The Court—The judge was not empowered to amend so as to preclude the defendant from his right to est off the nem of 431. beyond the 601. Mr. Bliss submitted that the defendant did not loos his right to sue the plaintiff for his set off. Mr. Baron Parke—lf the defendant could set off his noes —.. demand, the plaintiff would virtually be giving up her Maim to recover 61. I am sure she, together with her at torney, were in ignorance of what was going on, and that the amendment of the bill of particulars would have that effect. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Prentice having called the learned Baron's attention to the circumstance of the plaintiff herself having made no affidavit, The court expressed an opinion that there WM ne power to make the amendment ; and looking at all the circum stances of the case, it was clear th►t no jurisdiction existed. The rule, therefore, would be made absolute. Rule accordingly. COLLINS 0. Si MIL SAXON PLATT AND OCII MUM. Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaiuif, and Mr. Lush for the defendant. - This wu as action brought by the plaintit4 a bone dealer, residing at Bevenoeks, against the defendant, a farmer in the neighbourhood, to recover 101. 10s., the value of a maze sold by him to the defendant,who pleaded, firstly, that he had never bought the animal; and secondly, that he bad delivered bar back to the plaintiff in satiatao tion of his claim. There mu also a demand for some _ -- clover; but it formed, according to the opinion of the learned Jodie no element in the action. The terms of the bargain h ad bean at the time reduced to writing, and were as follows:—.. 6th of Sept., 1864.-Bold Mr. Wm. Meade, a bay mare for IW. 104., and a stack of clover, and be to cut it and send it in. The money to be paid in • fort' night." I here was also verbal evidence of an agreement entered into between the parties that the plaintiff would, if required, take bark or change the mare within a fort night, three weeks, or a month; hut no such stipulation was salaamed in the contract. The mare was in a per fectly saleable condition, though not free from sold on the day of the sae. The defendant returned her on the following day, and she was then so ill that she died the neat eaant lag. The plaintiff, it appeared, made no objection to re ceiving her, bat on the contrary showed the defendant other ' ; hones, but none would suit him. . _ Mr. Baron Platt, in summon up, laid there were two questions for the jury—nrstly, hed there been a sale of the snare r sad a. many, bad she bees delivered back to the plaintiff is satishonon of hie dales ?

Oa this point ocestra dietary evidence was gives by Mr. Doerieston, the rope,- mutton of Mesas. Breaks awl Retakes. and the bank rupt; ea& this entailed on the gout the disagreeable duty of determining which of the yard a had spoken untruly ; for both amounts could sot be true. Another question was, whether the evidence was sufileient to bring the bank rupt within the very penal provisions of this act, which involved twelve months imprisonment, unless the period were shortened by order of the court. No bankrupt ought to be subject to so highly penal a provision, except upon the clearest proof thathe had been guilty of the offences charged. The court would first look at the general features of the case. These were by no means favourable. This wayone of the very numerous cases where a party began to trade, at no very distant period, without any available capital, and contrived to obtain credit (such were now the facilities for doing so) to a very considerable amount, 1,7001. or 1,8001. His pro fits had been very small compared with his enpensee—not us-third of the latter. He had gone forward as long as he could, collecting all the debts he could get in, and making bad ones with very little caution ; and when he came to that court the book debts owing to him were jut 235. 3d. The result was there would not be a farthing for any of the creditors. He sew asked for what was called " • certificate of conformity," bet which, if properly interpreted in the language of commonsense, meant an acquittance in full fur every by-gone; liability, and a sort of letter of license to go and practise similar conduct else• where, if he could find people credulous enough to trust him. And this was not at all unlikely to happen; for credit was not only given, but almost forced upon people, no matter whether they had failed before, or what bad been their previous conduct, so long as they would take goods, and the salesman could get rid of them, without considering whether ever they were to be paid for or nut. There was but one favourable feature in the case—the bankrupt's books were for the most part regularly kept. On the charge of fraud, as alleged by the eppoeing creditors, the question arose whether the debt had been fraudulently costumed; for, as had been properly contended by Mr. Liskiater, the fraud mast be in the contract. It was not enough that, having obtained the goods, he was afterwards rendered unable to pay for them, or that even, had his accounts been wound up on the instant, he was unable to defray the debt. Had Mr. Dorrington's account been eaten tradicted, the court must have come to the conclusion that the contract was fraudulently made ; but there was an important fact, admitted on both sides, that Dorrinson pretsed and urged the bankrupt to take the goods. Un doubtedly, he was entitled to do to, if the npresentatioa had been previously made that the bankrupt had his capital of 1,0001. undiminished; bat there was considerable doubt about that. It was asserted by Dorrington and denied by the bankrupt; they also differed as to the num ber of interviews • and the bankrupt denied altogether that he had said anything about 1,0001. Where the evidence was so confiicting,j esti.' demanded that the doubt should be given in favour of the person scouted rather than that • penalty so extreme should be unjustly inflicted. What led the court very much to this conclusion was the fact that the order had been pressed for. Creditors ought to be told that it was better to hold their hand in this respect ; if they would press goods upon parties without Isufficient inquiry as to whether they were entitled to credit, they mast take the consequences; and they had no right to some and complain under such circumstances. If, by means of a clearly false representation, • trader instilled into the creditor's mind such au opinion of his solvency that he thought it would be a !pod thing to get his custom, the court did not say that he ought not to ask for it But here the evidence left very considerable doubt ; and the court therefore came to the conclusion that the bankrupt was net labia the penal sections of the act. If he had sworn Ihisely, the court regretted It, and he might rely upon it the esmeetpienos to himself would be far more serious than Vemoilalpgia mint which the court could inflict. Having to the general features of the case, the court would stipend the certificate for six months from the present time; when granted, it would be of the third clue. Mean time, u the bankrupt was absolved from the charges under the penal sections, protection would be granted fa three months, renewable at the end of that time unless due cause were shows to the contrary.

Mr. Chidley tendered a proof for 2,5001. on behalf of Mr. Mould, on asomint of the bankrupt's dishonoured drafts upon Mr. Hudson, M.P. The proof was admitted. Mr. M'Leod tendered a proof for 53,1901. on behalf of the assignees of George Bennett. There had been a judgment for 63,0001, but some proceedings were now pending in Chancery. Mr. Lewis bad said that he was only the agent of Mr. Kennett, and that though there might be a legal claim, there was no right in equity. Mr. Bagley, for the bankrupt, said that there was no admiseion on his part of the debt. The bankruptcy was on his own petition, and be was willing to abide by the decision of the court oa this claim. His Honour said he would admit the proof, subject to investigation, to be turned into an absolute proof online impeached before the first dividend. Mr. Lunette tendered a proof for 25,5001. on account of the bankrupt's drafts on Mr. Hudson, M.P. Mr. Lunette was sworn, and stated that he was • sharebroker, and had been so for seven years. He had had many tr ansactions with Mr. Mackenzie in respect to bills and Westminster Improvement Bonds. Mr. Lewis's name was on some of the bills. The money was lent to Mr. Mackenzie on Lewis's bills. He had an account with the London sad County Bank. He made the advances in the shape of short bills. He bad not these short bills merely as the agent of Mac kenzie, to get them discounted. No other person was in terested in the bills. They were not lent to him for the purpose of enabling him to make a proof against the estate. The bills might or might not have been in his pomade's a week ago. The Commissioner—Might or might not is no answer. Were they ? Witasse—They were. After some farther questions, His Honour said that sufficient had been shown to in duce him not to admit the proof until after the choice of assignees. Mr. Chidley said there had been transactions to the amount of thousands, he might say hundreds of thousands, between the bankrupt and Mr. Mackenzie. The latter did not wish to come forward to prove, as this would lead to a pudic investigation. B. was connected with the bank rupt, sad the object was to get the choice into his own hands. . .

He said he had seen the secretary of the company and he esisesteod if he paid the money he would not be preenalled. When leaving the house be said, "This Is just what I expected." The solicitor for the prosecution here applied for a re mind as he was not yet prepared to go into the other MM. The prisoner, who appeared not in the lest abashed at being placed in such a degrading position, was then re funded. Williams Barker was charged with a murderous assault on his wife. The complainant, a poorly clad woman, said—l have been married for eight years to the defendant. Yesterday mot st ing he most cruelly struck me on the head with his fist, and kandrad me down, end whilst I was on the ground be Waked me in the stomach and on my breast. 1 new feel most dreadful pain. After be had kicked me and neurly made me senseless, he seized me by the hair of my heed, dragged me out of the room, and threw me down a whole light of stairs, and I would have gone down the se eond flight only a woman was standing in the lobby and stopped me. (The complainant here produced an old but well-used knife, it appeared a formidable weapon, and was sharp at the point from frequent use and cleaning.) Yesterday morning, before he struck me first, he attempted to stick this knife in my throat, and when I held up my right hand to ward off the blow, the knife eat my wrist. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Has any surgeon seen your wound ? Complainant—No, sir, I put some ointment on it myself, but I feel so weak in my breast that after 1 leave here I will go to the haspitel. Mr. Turner, warrant officer—Your worship, after Ile complainant took out the warrant yesterday she west to a public-house in which the defendant was, and she scratched his face as you see it. (The man had the visible effects of nails on his countenance.) Mr. Tyrwhitt—How did that happen ? Complainant—Why, your worship, after I left here, I went home ; I found my children without anything to eat, and knowing where my husband was, I sent a neighbour to ask bim for some money to get bread for them. He told her that she was to tell me that he bad scent es. sd. that day to himself, but giving the woman lid. told her to buy " tarts" for the children. Feeling aggravated, I did go to ask him what he meant, when he told me to go and obtain money as all women could, and used other filthy language towards me so that I did scratch his fine. _ . Tyrwhitt—W hat is your husband, and what money does he give you to support your family ? Complainant—He a cab-driver, and has only given me 10d. for the last three days and when he heat me 1 had neither fire nor victuals in the house. The defendant here said that his wife was a most dreadful temper, and be had witamees to prove.that she had provoked him and others to assault her. Mr. Tyrwhitt—But in any way her conduct would not warrant you in uing a knife or kicking her. I must re mand you until a medical man decides the state in which your wife is from your most brutal conduct. • The detendan i t who is of • most repulsive aspect, was then removed. He was scarcely out of the court before two parties slipped forward and asked if the charge was not bailable. . . . . Mr. Tyriebitt—Certainly the misdemenour is bailable, but es he has used a knife, and the kict on the breast may pro duce a cancer, I don't feel warranted in giving any leniency to the defendant for an offence that may turn out to be a felony. Tire Poor Box.-11. 8. has sent 10s. in postage stamps, and K. Q. fie. in postage stamps, the latter to be applied for the um of Garford's children. Edward Gibbs, a cab driver, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. John Byrne, of using insulting language and other misbehaviour. Mr. Byrne deposed that on the night of Tuesday week he engaged the defendant at the end of the Haymarket, and on reaching his residence in Kennington-road he handed him a shilling, his fare. He also put his hand into his coat pocket for some coppers for him, but only found a penny and this he also gave the defendant, telling him to have a glass of beer. The defendant, turning over the money in his hand, ezeleimed, "And is this all you are going to give a poor fellow ?" He (Mr. Byrne) replied yea, a shilling is your just fare and I shall give you no more. The de fendant then exclaimed, " All I can say is, that I wish the devil had you before you got into my cab." Witness then insisted on having his ticket with the number of his cab. The defendant put his band into his pocket sail intending to feel for the ticket, but after some time he told him (Mr. Byrne) that if he required the number of his cab he might go and take it. He was then about to take the number of his badge when the defendant declared, in the most menacing tone and manner, that if he approached or touched him be should knock him down. Not wishing to have any personal rencontre with such an apparent ruffian, he approached his cab to take its number, but the defendant, perceiving his object, jumped on hie boa and drove off at the utmost speed towards Westminster bridge. Determined to punish him, he followed him for a quarter of a mile, and until he was stopped by the police, who supplied him with the numbers of his cab and badge. In conclusion, Mr. Byrne said that, with some considerable experience of cabmen, he could solemnly swear that any thing like the wanton insolence end ruffianism of the de fendant he had never witnessed. The defendant, who could not control his insolence even before the magistrate, acknowledged he had done wrong in running away, but this was the only thing he regretted. Mr. Elliott remarked that there could not be the slightest doubt if the defendant's gross misconduct, and convicted him in a penalty of forty shillings or twenty days' impri sonment. THAMES. Mr. Yardley, on taking his seat on the bench, referred to the cue of a poor woman, Charlotte Birkenshaw, of No. 8, Single-street, Mile•end, who, upon the recoommendation of the Rev. Mr. Hall, of Bayswater, had taken charge of an illegitimate child which had been sines abandoned by its parents, and she could not obtain any remuneration for maintaining it, while the two parishes of Kensington and Stepney had repudiated her and the child too. Mr. Yardley said he was not aware the poor woman who applied to him was in so much distress 'Atli be rend the report of the application in the newspapers. He asked if Inspector Holmes of the K division, who appeared to know something of the case, was present, and on being answered in the negative, desired Mr. Livingston, the chief usher of the court, to give the destitute woman, Birkenshaw, half a sovereign, from the poor-boa fend, if he could ascertain her addres.. He also directed that the woman should be re quested to wait upon him again a fortnight hence, and if she could not obtain payment of her claim from the Rev. Mr. Hall. or the parents of the child, he would see what more could be dons for her. COUNTY BENCH. (From the Brighton Gazette.) On Monday, at the Brighton Town Hall, before C. Carpenter, Esq., and T. J. Bellamy, Foq., magistrates, Louisa Humphreys preferred a charge of assault against Lady Boughton, who resides in Branswiek•square, and with whom the complainant stated that she had resided as lady's maid for some months. The complainant was represented by Mr. G. Faithful!, jun.; the defendant, who was not in court, by Mr. Lamb. Mr. Faithful!, in addressing the bench oa the part of the complainant, said he understood that she had been only a short time in the service of Lady Boughton as lady's maid, and the complaint she had to make was that Lady Boughton had committed an unprovoked assault upon her on the 3rd inst. Thera was no doubt that, looking at the relative positions in life of the complement and the de fendant, there might be some difficulty in dealing with the cue ; but if any feeling of sympathy was to be enlisted on either side, it ought to be on the side of his client, and if be should prove that the assault had been committed, the social position of the defendant would be an aggravation, rather than otherwise, of the offence. He felt satisfied that if his client had committed an assault upon a lady in her bedroom, it would have been clear that a lady ought to be protected from the violence of her servants; and he thought that the same amount of justice ought to be meted oat to the servant. Mr. Bellamy—l think Lady Boughton ought to be here. It is always a rule for defendants to be in attendance. Mr. Feitbiull said it was not compulsory for her ladyship to be present. Mr. Carpenter—lt is not the practice in this court for the defendant to be present, provided the party appear. by a solicitor. Mr. Bellamy—l beg pardon; it is the practice. I have been in the commission 30 years; and I ought to know. Mr. Faitbfull—l wish her ladyship was here. Complainant examined—l am lady's maid to Lady Boughton. I have been in her service four months yester day, and lam to leave in a week. I recollect Wednesday, the 3rd of January. Lady Boughton, on that morning, rang for me at half-past nine, for the purpose of assisting her to dress. I went immediately. After acme little conversation on indifferent subjects, Lady Boughton said," If I had known you came from a low lodging-house, or a house of call, you should n have entered into My service." She then referred to a house in Temple.etreet, when my sister and brother-in-law live: and they have au elderly lady lodging with them. 1 told Lady Boughton that my sister had one lady lodging with her, and that eke was perfectly respectable. Lady Boughton immediately replied, " A lady, not a hentlewssman ; a lady, I perfectly soden:land what that means." 1 then referred her to Mr. George Wagzer, the c i er onan atlas district, who wee well acquainted wit." am l ady j a ztiring with my sister. Upon this she ordered me , leave i -voini but before I ha, time to do so, she struck ' me Os ree times on my bread and shoulders with consider. able force. I give her no provocation whatever. When I entered Lady Boughton's service, I went with the highest easracter. Mr. Limb—l believe you had notice to quit from Lady Boughton. C...m plainest—l had. Had she not bad reason to complain of your conduct ?—I esked her to assign a reason; but I was answered by her dying that I must net ask questions. Had she not had reason to complain of your mode of dress ing ?—She had no reason ; but she did complain. No matter what I wore the cap was stinking, the dress was stinking, and she railed me ugly eyes, ant told me to keep nay ugly head out of her sight—(a laugh)—and if she heard I my voice, she would Bail out, "is that my maid ? I sup pose she fancies she is in her sister's low iodging.house." On the morning of the alleged assault, what was the int pert of the conversation ?—fibe complained that my dress ; was in the low lodging-house condition. In consequence of the impertinence of your reply, in answering something that was said to you, did she not I tell you to leave the room ?—She did not give me time to do so. Did you not refuse to leave the room ?—I had not time to do se. _ _ _ . - • - -• Was not Lady Boughton compelled to ring for another servant, in consitquenois of your refusal to leave the room? —Not till she had inflicted the blows upon me. Do you mean to say that you had left the room before the other servant answered the bell t—lndeed I had. Do you say that you were not in the room when the other servant came in t—l was not. Why did Lady Boughton ring the bell ? With the view, I suppose, for the other servant to finish dressing her. Are you quite certain you left the room before the girl came?—Yes ; I am quite certain. When you say . that Lady Boughton struck you, was it not that, in passing you to ring the bell, she pushed against you?—No, I was not near her; and the bell was in a different direction. . . Boughton is rather an elderly lady ? She is. _ _ _ _ Did not Lady Boughton say, " What do you mean by this impertinence, leave the room ? "—She did not give me time to leave the room before she assaulted me. I know she could not say a word against me. I have been &respectable servant for li years, aad have had anything of the sort occur before. _ _ . . _ _ . Did you see her ladyship ring the bell l—No, I did not. I left the room immediately. Did you go down stairs immediately ?—Yes; and met the servant girl coming up. Lady Boughton was on the third floor, above the drawing room ; and I met the t be tween the drawing room and the bed rooms. Then you mean to say, you left the room immediately before she rang the bell ?-1 did not see her ring the bell ; and I am quite sure I left the room before the servant came. In what way did she strike you t—She struck me with both her hands. Pushed you away, I suppose ?—No ; struck me. The complainant here held up her hands by way of, showing how the assault was committed. Both hands were open ; and when a question was put to her she said the hands were not clenched.

Ann Wilkinson woo indicted for cutting and wounding I Charles John Wilkinson, her husband. The prosecutor alleged that on the 29th of December his wife attempted to stab him sad to cut his throat, which the wife positively denied, end asserted that her husband was in love with a incrust at the house where he worked, and was in the habit of taking lier to the play, while she had to be at home working bard at the wash-tub ;in addition to which his used to tell her to her face that he loved this said servant ten times better than he did her. To enable him to take her about, he broke open a box, in which she had 'even sovereigns, her hard *maim, and left her destitute, without clothes, fire, or candle. He had also been in the habit of besting her, and only donated on the neighbours threatening to send for the police. In answer to questions put by the court, the husband ad mitted that he had given his wife cause for jealousy, but that was seven years ego. The wife declared it had existed up to a very recent period. The jury immediately found the prisoner Not Guilty. Mr. Witham told her that if her husband ill-treated her again, she should apply to a magistrate who had the power of sending him to prams for six =oaths. THE POLICE COUBTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Dwain Maclean Wridkt was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of a Liverpool police-officer, charged with forgery upon the house of Overend, Gurney, and Co., the money dealers. Mr. Vanillin, the solicitor to the firm, attended for the prosecution. Mr. William Shipman, clerk to the proaecutors, said— It is put of my duty to open the letters addressed to the house. The following letter was received at our house on the 4th of November, and contained a bill of exchange for 1671. 2s. 3d , purporting to be drawn by William Anderson mad Co., and accepted, payable at Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co., bankers in London, and not elsewhere.—John B. Moore and Co., dated Manchester, 23rd October, 18E4. " Moore, due 23 26 kik. 65. 1571. 21. 3d." " 16, Dawber-street, Liverpool, Nov. 3, 1654. " Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., London. "Gentlemen,—lf agreeable to discount the enclosed, please send me the proceeds at • moderate rate in belt notes, and oblige, respectfully, your most obedient servant, " D. M. Weston." In consequence of that letter we wrote & letter to the writer of the lest letter, in which the bill of exchange was re turned, and it was stated to be contrary to the practice of the house to discount an bills without an introduction. Afterwards, on the 6th of November, I opened the following letter, which was dated, I believe in error, the 4th of Oc tober instead of November " 16, Dawber-street, Liverpool, 4th Oct., 1854. "Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co.—Gentlemen,—ln reply to yours of this date, although my discounts with you have n been of much magnitude, they have been over the space of twenty years or more. I thought I might have been personally known in your offices, where I have fre quently done business. "I might refer to introductions I have given to your Arm in favour of others, such as Christian, Allhousen, and Co., of Newcastle. Having been abroad for the last four years, my correspondence, &c., naturally ceased. I give an opportunity of calling me again to your recollection by returning for discount the inclosed 1571. 2s. 3d., for which send me, if quite agreeable, notes for 1601., and cheque on Barclay's for the balance. I have lately opened a cor respondence with Messrs. Leonino, Brothers, for foreign business. I presume their paper would at all tinsel - be acceptable to you, and I am resputfully_your most obedient servant, " D. M. WRIGHT. " Need I revert to the year, 1825, and ten years after wards, when I was cashier to your old correspondent A. T, at Glasgow r That letter contained the same bill which had been re turned in the previous letter, in consequence of which our house discounted the bill, and forwarded the sum of 1601. in half Bark of England Doter, in two envelopes, and • draft on a banker's for 41. lle. Id., the balance of the bill less the discount, which were addressed to Mr. D. M. Wright, 16, Dawber-etreet, Liverpool. The draft produced is that which was so sent. On the Bth of November I received • letter, dated the Sth of November, and signed D. M. Wright, acknowledging the receipt of the enclosures. Mr. Joseph Henry Dickinson, merchant, at Liverpool, said—l am a partner in the house oflehn B. Moore and Co. The acceptances to the bills produced, for 1671.2 a. 3d., and 2941.165. 3d. (a second bill then produced), are not in my handwriting, nor in that of my partner, nor was either written by our authority. There is no other house in Liver pool which trades under the same name that I have ever heard of. We make our bills payable at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s, in London. I know the prisoner, but have not had any transaction with him on has own account that I know of. I do not know such a firm as William Anderson and Co., at Manchester. When I knew the prisoner he was clerk or agent to a mercantile house. I was before • magistrate in Lives pool on the subject, and (as our reporter understood the witness) gave evidence there. John Sullivan, detective officer, of Liverpool, said I ap prehended the prisoner at No. 16, Dawber-street, Liverpool, on the 10th inst., without • warrant, on a charge of forging • bill for 2941. 161. 3d., which sum I mentioned to him. He told me to ask him no questions and he would tell me ne lies. I asked him his nun, and he said it was Duncan Wright, and next day he was taken before one of the borough magistrates, and another bill was they produced before the magistrate by Mr. Dickinson, namely, for 1671. 2s. 3d., which n the bill produced here in the first instance. The magistrate's clerk then asked the prisoner in my pre sence if he had anything to say to the charge, and the pri soner said that the bills were forgeries and that he had forged them. This statement was not taken down in writing at the time. The Lord Mayor was about to remand the prisoner, when Mr. Dickinson requested to be informed whether it would be necessary for him to come again from Liverpool in order to give evidence before his lordship. the Lord Mayor said it was really difficult for him to comprehend the course adopted by the magistrate before whom the case was originally brought. That magistrate either bad or had not jurisdiction in the matter. If the magistrate had the power, which the forgery act seemed to give him, the prisoner ought not to have been brought to London, by which course considerable expense must be incurred in the conduct of the prosecution. If, en the con ,the case did not come within the jurisdiction of the ate, the recent act of parliament laid down the course W taken, and therefore Mr. Dickinson's attendaaes would have been unnecessary, as his evidence should have been taken at Liverpool and forwarded to London. The Prisoner—lf it will save any trouble to any one, I admit the guilt I am charged with. The Lord Mayor then directed that the depositions I should be made out, and said he would commit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknow ledge his receipt of 101. from T. and Co. and 11. from John Butterfield, for the poor-box. GUILDHALL. Thomas Arthur Corlett, dressed in the height of the go a-ltead fashion, was placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt, charged with fraud. A gentleman who attended on behalf of the Electric. Telegraph Company, having briefly stated the nature of the charge, said this was a very serious case, inannuch as the prisoner had stolen about 80 money orders for various amounts, and the money he received for them he had ap propriated to his own use. Pithiest David Collins said—l am clerk to Messrs. Hooper and Baker, of 12, Eastcbeap. On the 4th of November last I delivered a message at the Electric Telegraph-office, I. Lothbnry, to be transmitted to Mr. James Dalton, •t Beres, near Colchester. I paid Is. for the message, and u the clerk did not know the distance between Bures and Colchester, I deposited 95. to elver the ezpanses for por terage. Reviles subsequently ascertained that the porterage did net amount to more than le., I made application on the 20th of December for the return of the Ils. °remiss. On the 29th of December we received an order for 8.. 6d. from the company, which wee paid to me at their office in Loth bury on the same day. Mr. Thomas Baker—l wrote to the company several times between the 4th of Noveml:or and the 20th December, about the overcharge for porterage, and on the latter day I directed Collins to call about it, the eonstqsence of which was that I received an order for 6d., on the 29th of Deo., that was the 'Wyse= I received from the company. Mr. Hoary &beet= Wilson, assistant secretary to the Electric Telegraph Company said—lt is my duty to attend to all complaints relative to overcharge. I remember Messrs. Hooper and Baker claiming the return of Bs. in November last. I made inquiries, sad finding that only 6d. had been paid for porters" I male out an order for Bs. 6d. payable at any of the cospeay's otiose. I then gave the order and • letter of az , written by the prisoner by my direc tion, sad to Mews. Hooper and Baker, to the primer, when deity it wee to see the letter copied into the letter beak, sad then to angina the order and letter in an e and gave it to the pods' clerk for delivery. On the December I ;embed smother application from Miling. Beim mid ma es the same subject; but as the *Nair absielid limatt km the °Moe it we/ not attended to milli sh.lidth, vim I went to a drawer need by the pri mer es look cm - sr Mappers in order ta forwad the Imbue ART 18, 1865. Then did the other nt finish dressing Ladyßoughton —She did. . __ Who advised you to take out the summons ?—My own conscience told me that I ought to do so. I acquainted Mr. Dickenson, Lady Boughton's husband, with the circum stance, and asked him if In could give me any advice. Mr. Dickenson told me Mr. Carpenter (interrupting)—No, no ; we cannot hear that. But can you assign any reason for her wishing you to leave the room ? No ; unless it was that I referred her ladyship to Mr. Wagner for the character of the lady staying at my sister's. And upon that was it that she struck you ?—Yee; I be lieve so. She struck me three times. With the flat ?—Ne, but with her hands open. Was she between you and the door?—Yes, she was. Mr. Faithfall—That is the ease. Mr. Lamb, in addressing the bench for the defendant, said her ladyship had had occasion more than once to com plain of the manner in which her maid dressed, and told her she ought to dress herself in a different manner ; and when she spoke to her about her dregs on the morning in question the complainant said something offensive, and defendant then-told her to leave the room, and at the same time rang the bell for another servant. As far as he was instructed, her ladyship had not the least conception, or the remotest idea, of lilting her hand against her maid ; and the very fact of her ladyship having rung the bell at the time she told her servant to leave the room mi.' Bleed against such a supposition, and there was no doubt the girl did come just as she was leaving the room, for the purpose of finishing the dressing of her ladyship. If such an assault as this had taken place among ordinary persons, they would have beard nothing of it. It was an exceedingly paltry charge ; and was prose cuted with the view of punishing Lady Boughton, and bringing her into bad odour with the public. The magis trates would recollect that the complainant had had notice to quit, which was another reason for the complainant to show the animas which had guided her on this occasion. It was not at all likely that if Lady Boughton had committed a violent assault, she would have rung the bell for another servant to bear witness of that assault. Lady Bourhton had conveyed to him (Mr. Lamb) her solemn assurance that she had never struck her set cant, nor ever had the slightest idea of striking bar ; and be must say that the smallest fine in flicted upon Lady Boughton, under such circumstances, would be an infliction upon that lady's character, which she did not deserve. If Lady Boughton were here herself she could say no more. Mr. Carpenter (to complainant)—Did you give Lady Boughton warning, or did she give you warning?—Lady Boughton gave me warning. Mr. Carpenter—Such cases as these, in which two persons only are present, and one is heard upon oath and the other cannot be heard upon oath, are extremely unpleasant to deal with. We cannot arrive at the conclusion that complainant has perjured herself, and we must suppose, from the state ment• she has made, that she has been touched by Lady Boughton. We cannot think that Lady Boughton would strike the complainant, from the single fact of the latter having referred her to Mr. Wagner for a character of the female lodger; and it seems to us, as the most probable fact, that Lady Boughton pushed the complainant, that finding the complainant did not quit the room, she pushed her out ; and, from the manner in which the complainant held up her hands, describing the nature of the assault, it could not have amounted to more than a push. Perhaps Lady Boughton was not justified altogether in laying hands upon the complainant. Under the circumstances, a fine must be inflicted. In ordinary cases, such a charge, in all probability, would have been dismissed, or, at all events, a very low fine would have treed inflicted, so low, perhaps, as 64.; but, in Lady Boughton's case, we must make the fine 11. and the costs.
