The fullowiug remarkable facts connectvd with the homeward voyage of the Wellesley, were on Tuesday brought before the Kitting magistrate at Plymouth Police court (Lliptain !leaden). A man named '!'Lomas Bate, a Dative of Itudmin, was charged by Thomas Glover with steeling eight ounces of gold, two gold bruochet, two gold pine, a gold watch and than; three cheques, of the respective value of 41M., MY., and 2:101., awl a quantity of wearing apparel. From the etaterneut of Mr. Brian, the attorney for the prosecution, it appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner were fellow.pamengers to • land from Australia, by the ship Wellesley, whi c h sat ol from Melbourne for Loudon on the lth .f No. somber, Dna The prosecutor and his wife occupied a private cahiu to themselves, and having a large chest, von taming their property, too bulky to be taken inside, they °Marten the perniisnon of the mate to allow it to be placed just outside the cabin door. On the Vol of December the precentor eta:netted the property iii questiou, and locket the hot, and on the evening of the 24th the chest was seen standing safe. The next r oo rniog, however, it had disappeared, and DO traces of it could be founiL During the oeirm of the istmege home WOW disagreement had taken place between 4ik,wer on the one hued, and Bate and a stein named lay on the other, and when the search was rea-le there were rummy. (or suspectin g thew two tuna, and Hate was declared to have told one of the peneugers that it wee no good to look for the hoz, for he had thrown it overboard. This was the state of affairs when the chip arrived on Monday evening off the *art, and as the prisoner then left her in a Itrighatn beet for the purpose of being landed in Plymouth, the pro secutor, by the advice of the captain of the Wellesley, followed hint, awl came ashore with him at the lisrlinan on Tuesday morning. Without last of time the eminence of the police was sought, and the prisoner was taken into custody at the cus tom-house watch-house, between two awl three the DAM* morning, by Police.constalde Romig. From the sire of the lost box. and the difficulty of removing it, there were strong reasons for suspecting that the prisoner had received the assistance of the man Day. The latter had gone on to London with the ship, and the prosecutor's wife hail also preceedel there for the purposee of securing hie sopreheasson, when he would mat likely he taken to the nearest police-station, Worship-street, he (Mr. Brien) be haved. All the witnesses in the case had gone on to Loudon, and what he should DOW ask the magistrate to do was to remand the primmer. Mr. Brian then called the twoorcutor, who, having coatirmol the foregoing, added that been... the various articles referred to in the charge, there was also is the box a gold ring made from his owe gold, worth M. When he examined the couteats of the box on the 23rd December, the prisoner and Day were both present. No general search was made for the box, but several persons offered to have their goods searehed. Had heard the prisoner say he was a native of Cornwall. What he now wished the bench to do, was to reared the prisoner, so that he might be taken before a Londou magistrate. He hid given the necessary directions for Day's apprehendoa immeattely he arrived in London. The prisoner -Was I standing by when you were examine big your box on the 'Ctrd of December? Prosecutor— Yes ; you were. You were playing at checkers. You have said you would have your revenge. The prisoner denied this, and added that he never saw mist MIDI in the bor. The prosecutor, answer to the court, stated that there were about :O or 51 passengers on boanl the Welloiley. Police.coustable James Ronda deposed to apprehend:lig the pri.ouer, and that .apon being charged with the robbery be said, '' Well, if you like. I know n o thing about it." le the prisoner's bag was found • cheque for 2501., a gold watch and chain, and • few other articles, but nothing couneeted with the robbery. The cheque for 250/. was prisluced in court, but the prosecutor said it was not the one he had lost. . The prisoner said lie belonged to Bedmin, and l e ft th e Wellesley at the Start for the of reaching Ply mouth, intending to proceed to Salmis by train, when he was arrested upon the charge of robbery. He knew nothing of it, but was quite ready and willing to have the case inquired into. When he left England he was working as a farm servant, but had been a minutia Australia. The magistrates remanded this case till Monday, bail for the prisoner's appearance being accepted, himself in lOw. and two sureties in :01. each, soil time allowed lona to communicate with his friends for the newest,' recor,rni,soccs.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JAN. 23. Sittings in Banco.—(Liefore Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Crompton, and Mr. Justice Hill.) tieRTON AND OTHER.% APPELLANTN; DARE, RESPONDENT. This was a case stated hr magistrates of &lax, under the 20th and 21st Vie., cap. 43. The appellants. labourers, resident in the parish of Steeple.ltunipstead, were convicted on the information of John Dare, a fanner in the same parish, of baring tres passed upon I,i. land and nialicioualy damaged his property by al. mt a manure heap, and treading the manure into the ground. The magistrates, having baud both sides, emidenined the uppelliuts to pay a tine of Is. each and the A . o 4s, which antiollOted to It. 195., the alternative being a month's imprisnment. The appellants, dismtisfied with that decision, applied to have a case stated for the opinion of this court, according to the provisions of the act for the improvement of the law with respect to summary convictions. At the hearing it ws proved that on the afternoon of the 22nd of March the appellants were playing at foot-ball on the public play-ground of the pariah, a piece of ground known w " the Caniping Close," which was separated from some pasture laud, claimed to belong to the respondent, by a dry ditch, and in which was a manure heap or clamp, the y of the respondent. and whilst so engaged at thefoot ball appellants were charged with having trespassed oa the rempondent's pasture and trodden down the respoodent's manure. It was contended, eti behalf of the aPPellentes that they had a right to play in the said pasture ground, as being part of " the Camping Close," and that if the re spondent had placed a manure heap there he had done so at his own risk ; they had, therefore, acted under a fair and reasonable supposition that they had a right to do the act complained of, and the magistratft were without jurisdic tion in the case. Nevertheless, the magistrates w.nvicted the appellants, deeming that the question of the boundaries of the "Camping Close" had been est at rest be the result of an action Nought in the year 1849 by the then tenant of the farm, one John Scope, when a compromise was entered into by consent of the court, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff with Is. ILimages. At the hearing Snaps ap peared as a witness fur the appellants, and gave evidence that the inhabitants of the push had constantly, both be fore and since the action fur trespass in 1849, played at I various games on the piece of pasture ground in question, without any permission or obstruction by him (Snaps), and it was likewise proved that from thee immemorial the in habitants had considered it ea part of the playground. Ins court held the decision of the magistrates to be wrong. It was plain the defendants hail bon& fide a title to the piece of ground in dispute, and therefore the mogul trues were without juriadictios to deal with the case. It OMIT, APPILLANT: GRAM IMPONDIENT. The appellant, William James Everett, is a butcher at Newport, in the Isle of Wight. and he was summoned be fore the magistrates there bytbe superintendent of the police force for that on the sth of June he was found keeping cer tain swine on his premises contrary to • by-law of the town commissioners established under the if uniripalCorporations Act,•od which enacted that for the prevention of nuisances in the borough of Newport anybody keeping swine within its limits between the let of May mod the 31st of October should be liable to pay • Sae of ss. in the first instance, and a further sum of 2s. 6d. per day for every day subse quently on which the swine should be retained on the pre. mires. On the sth of June the appellant was found to have a sow and 10 small pigs, as well as a large pig, which the appellant alleged was on the premises for slaughter. It was not alleged that the pigs in question were an actual nuisance. The appellant objected that the by-law in question wee illegal , as being clearly a restraint of trade, and therefore that the conviction could not be upheld. Their lordships were of opinion that such a by-law was bad. A by-law against the keeping of swine ought at least to enact that such keeping must have been proved to be au actual nuisance. THE WIEN r. THE INHABITANTS OE HT. GEORGE THE ItAITYL This was an appeal by the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of St. George the Martyr against an order of removal relative to a pauper named Agnes Champion, • young girl 1$ years of age ; the ground of removal been that the said Agnes Champion war a bastard, born in the General Lying-in Hospital. York-road, Lambeth, and eon sequently by the 13th of George 111., cup. 82 the pauper's settlement was the last settlement of the n ether, wMn ever that might be. This was found to be in the appel lant.' parish. The objection taken by the appellants, both before the magistrate and at the sessions, was that the respondents (the overseers of the pariah of St. Giles, Cam berwell) bad not proved that the Lying-in Hospital in the York-road had been duly licensed. It was not enough that there should be an inscription over the gates of the hospital stating that it was licensed pursuant to the 13th of George 111. foe the public reception of pregnant women, and that the solicitor and clerk to the trustees proved that foe twenty years the hospital had existed for such purpose. The actual license ought to have been forthcoming. Their lordships held that the judgment of the court of quarter sessions ought to be upheld. The statute of George 111. was a highly penal enactment, and the pro ceedings having been taken against the authorities of the hospital, it must be taken that the hospital—the largest of the kind in London--wee duly licensed in years gone by. Mr. T. Chitty appeared for the appellants; Mr. Knapp for the mispen&nt-t. Appeal dismissed. THORNE., ATPILIANT ; COLSON, REXFORD/MT.—THORN; APPILLANT ; ST. CLAIR, OTHIRTIIsE GONERSAL, AND ANOTHER, RESPONDENTS. This was an appeal against the dismissal of an information by the magistrates of Margate. The information in the case, which was or parte Robert Samuel Thorne, charged that Jacob Colson did, upon the 22isd day of August last, unlawfully keep a certain p lac e fur the performance of stage plays without authority, such place being of public resort and not being a booth or show. It appeared that the defendant, whohappenedhirmelf to be in London on the day in question, was the owner of a boner in the High-street, Margate, and that in his absence his wife let it for the performance in question. Each pen°s was charged Is. for admission to the spectacle, and was supplied with a hill of the performance. The performers were • Miss Rosins Fennell and a Mr. Reginald St, (lair. These two appeared in several different costume' ; Mr. Reginald St. Clair ding at one time the "sincere lover" and then the gentleman who only "sought the lady for her moue." In the course of the performance Mr. St. Clair likewise proposed marriage, and Miss Rosins Fennell sang a song, accompanying herself on the piano. The piece was announced in the bills as " The Tale of • Heart," and some eighty persons were present at the spectacle. It was con tended, on behalf of the defendant, Mist such a performance wee merely • dualogue, and that it was not a dramatic re presentation within the meaning of the act. And to that effect Mr. Nelson L 4. of the (.'sty Theatre, gave evidence, adding that it must be regarded as a performance of a similar character to that given be Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul and by Mr. and Mrs. dermas' Reed, and that similar entertainments were given in Londoa during Passion-week. Upon that the magistrates found that the performance of Mr. St. (lair and Mini Fennell was not a siege play under the 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 78, and therefore rafted to commit. Mr. Justice Hill, to Mr. Lush, Q.C., who appeared. with Mr. F. Ellis for the respoodeut, (defeodants helow)—Surel it is sot amiable that such a performance is not a do rf tattoo within the meaning of the act ? r. Lush would not contend that it was not, but he was to maintain that the defendant Colson was not a liire or owner of •uch place within the act of parliament ; an likewise that the place having been let by Colson's wife in his absence, he wan not responsible. Mr. Poland, on the other side, contended for conviction. The Court held that the alleged performance was clearly a dramatic representation ; therefore the second case was remitted back to the magistrates with an order to commit ; but as regarded Colon's case the magistrates must find further whether he was a keeper or owner of inch place within the meaning of the act, and likewise that he was liable under the circumstances for the act of his wife. DAVIES, A PPILLLANT ; LORD BERWICK, REAPORDENT. This was en appeal from a conviction by magistrates of Shropshire. on an information gainat Davies fee that he, being a "servant in husbandry, " had disobeyed his master. The information was laid under the 4th of Oeo. IV., cap. 34. It appeared that in the January of last year Davies had entered into the service of Lord Bolivia for • period of twelve menthe, subject to a month's notice, at • Wavy of 11. :a. per week. Loral Berwick is a great breeder of stock, and Daves's duties were to weigh out the food and see the mod was consumed by each of the cattle. He was like. wise to keep an account of all the cattle that died, and of the bull*, and calvings of the stock, in order that their pedigree shedid Le known ; and then • condition was added that he wee to be prepared to turn his hand to seething. To the month of August, Davies, in coosequence of sot tie all rent taken by him at a statement inserted in a Shrewsbury paper, refused to go through the stock and furnish such information to • man named Wat kins Ls might enable him to identify the stock and mark it. Upon that Le was taken before a magistrate and settenoed to twenty-one day s imprisonment with bard labour. Their lordships held the convictian wrong,. Davies could not be convidered • " sienna in husbandry ; " he was more in the character of • bailiff to his employer, and although he I was to turn his hand to anything, still the breach of duty I altered was io respect of not furnishing accounts, which ' could not be considered within the scope of the employment of a servant in husbandry. Conviction quashed aceo rdintly. Mr. Swill. Q.C.. appeared for thereepondent ; Mr. Rod- Q.C., for the appellant. BAIL COURT.—JAar. 23. Sittings at Nisi Pries. at Wasbninster.—(Balare Yes.

JI.tNSION•HOUSE. A waterotan named Aka May Nook was yesterday brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with :dealing four pigs of lead, weighing one hundredi weight each, the property of Mows. Arthur t't allack and Son, lightenneu. It appeared from the evidence that on the morning of the ISth instant, a barge belouging to the prosecutors, laden with lead, was lying off Fresh Wharf, and at about half past seven in the mornings man named Wardle, a lighter man's apprentice, who was down in the cshiu, bearing a noise, came up to see what it was. When he got up, ho saw the prisoner in a boat alongside the barge, with three pigs of lead iu it, and another on the gunwale of the barge, which the prisoner was in tbe act of removing. As soon as he saw the witness he rowed off. Witness got into a boat nod followed him, and saw hint, just as be was turning round one of the barges, throw one of the pigs over into the water. The prisoner then rowed round some vessels, and came towards the witness, who caught him and held hint until an officer of the Thames police arrived at the spot. All the pigs had then disappeared from the boat, and it was sup posed the others had been thrown over while he was behind the vessel. On the 22nd instant a young man named Ceorge Harris was brought before the Lord Mayor, for having two pigs of lead in his possession with the same marks rod name as those lust, and mid that he found them near the Crocodile receiving ship, Tower-stain. He was discharged, being bound over in the sum of W. to appear again yesterday as a witness. He then stated that while dragging for a tarpaulin which bad been lost in the river be pu lled up two pigs of lead, which were each in a canvas , and while taking them ashore the officer stilved him with them. The prosecutors said the lead bore the same marks as the cargo in the barge, and believed they formed a portion of that cargo. The prisoner said that he was quite innocent of the charge against him ; he was rowing quietly down towards the witness Wardle, when he accused him of stealing the lead. He said he had not been near the barge, and bad not been that way at all that morning. He was fully committed for trial. MANCHESTIIk SELIMPINF:P. AND LINCOLN• 'S li I - Rif GATEWA Y: The half-yearly general meeting was held yester day at Manchester ; Mr. Cuarii.ei in the chair. An aletmct of the directors' report and statement of ac counts has been published in this journal. The CHAIKYAN inOVed the adoption of the report, and gave explanations as to some of the items. In reference to the bill before parliament for a line from Canton to Liver pool, it should be stated that the agreement made in 185tt with the Loudon and North Western, giving the Sheffield Company running powers to Liverpool= condition of the latter company givingupcertain powers they had in the Gaston and Warrington district, had been found impos sible to be carried out ; and after repeated applications to the London and North Western Company it was agreed that the Great Northern and Sheffield should make their own line from Gersten to Liverpool, having their own stations at Liverpool ; that the London and North Western should give the Sheffield and Great Northern running powers from Canton to Timperlcy, and that all matters of tolls and traffic should be settled by agreement between the three companies, or by arbitration. On the other hand, the Sheffield Company gave the London and North Western running powers from Ardwick to Sheffield, on the same terms of arbitration in case of dispute. The great difficulty in carrying out the line from Canton to Liverpool had been the want of capital ; but he was happy to may that on the directors applying to the shareholders, the project was regarded with =much favour that in a very short time three times more capital than requisite was subscribed. This showed not only that the line was of great value, but that the policy of the directors was approved . (Hear, hear.) A bi ll before parliansect, enabling the Sheffield, London and North Western, and Great Northern to make rates, was entirely different from the bill rejected last session, being merely to promote equality in charges and division of traffic, and providing for arbitration in case of difficulty. He believed the meaning of this was that there must be no competi tion, but that each party must work in the most advantageous manner to themselves and the shareholders. (Hear, bear.) He considered the Garet= line, and the esta blishment of their position in Liverpool, one of the most im portant measures ever brought before the :company. He referred to their traffic statistics of the l..nt seven years as showing the prosperous condition of the undertaking, there having been in that period a net increase of from 217,13 Y. up to 329,9111. During that time only seven miles of new railway (single line) had been added to the property. Mr. Few= (deputy chairman) seconded the motion, and agreed with the chairman in thinking that but for war or bad trade, their property would gradually and permanently improve. (Hear, hear.) The meeting was protracted till a late hour in the after noon by a long discussion, arising out of a subject not referred to by the chairman in his opening reniarks. Mr. WITHERS (of Liverpool), without desiring to imply the least censure of the hoard, prowled that the share holders should appoint a committee of consultation, con sisting of Mr. R. Potter, Gloucester; Mr. J. C. Fletcher, of Dale-pork ; General Studd, of Oxford and Exeter ; Mr. J. Bibby, Liverpool ; and Mr. Withers himself, to confer with the directors on the general policy of the commun. He thought the negotiations that had beeu talked of for a lease of the line to the London and North Western and Great Northern, ou the terms men tioned some time ago in the London papers, were being prejudiced by delay, and he considered the shareholders would do well to see for themselves that an opportunity of improving their position was not thrown away. (Cheers.) Mr. FILDICH seconded the motion. The Cirataman stated that no offer of the kind had t'et been before the directors from the London nod North Western. Mr. BANettort• a director of the London and North Western, said that company were still willing to offer the terms stated in the Times some days ago. The CHAIRMAN, however, read a letter received the pre vious day float the Greet Northern declining the joint guarantee, but suggesting closer Alliance. Ultimately the report was adopted, and Mr. Withers's motion, somewhat modified, wa, carried by 47 to 41. A poll was demanded, which bad not concluded when our report was despatched. In the meantime the proposed dividend of 13 per cent. was declared ; also the guaranteed dividends. The meeting, having been made special, approved of a traffic agreement with the Great Northern Company, under the powers obtained in 1858. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) The poll resulted in a majority against Mr. Withers's motion of 1 G votes. reptmenting 1,3100,0001. stock. THE LONDON DISTRICT TELEOHANI.—About two yearn ago a company was formed for a complete telegraphic ramification of Loudon and its rapidly extending suburbs. The idea was based upon the very reasonable conclusion that, with the enormous population comprised within a radius of It) or 12 miles front Charing-crofts, a sufficiently remunerative traffic might be ensured by the adoption of a moderate and uniform tariff, whereby the undertaking would be made both remunerative to the shareholders and an almost necessary convenience to the general public. From time to time, as the works have proceeded, pests and wires may have been noticed erectod upon the tops of the most commanding buildings in the various thorough fares, and the novelty of the works has led many to take some interest in the undertaking and its pro. liable future 'mews. It is stated that the company have now opened upwards of fill station , in the ‘:trious parts of London suit the suburbs for the transmission of messai„es, and have recently opened their new central station in Cannon-street. For the neeeasary working of their I system. somewhat similar to the arrangements of the General Post-office, the greater part of the messagen are telegraphed to this station, where they are sortiyl, and thence transmitted to their various destinations. Messages for the provinces and the continent are also received by the company at their various branch stations, so that all parts ' of Lenten are, or shortly will he, in direct telegraphic communication with the general telegraph system of Europe, and messages from the provinces or continent can also be IA to their destination by the company's wires, whereby the present unavoidable charge for foot messengers will he saved, and a more rapid delivery insured. The in tention of the company is to employ principally female clerks, and they now have I,Oemployed at their central mid various branch offices. The experi. ment has thus far been successful, and as female tele graphists are also employed by the other companies, it is hoped that a large and fairly remunerative field for labour is thus opened to well educated and intelligent females. The number of applications for appointments is almost in credible, and the names and addresses of all eligible appli casts are registered for future references as additional clerks are required. The company are also erecting telegraphs fur private purposes, and many firms who transact a large por tion of their business by telegraph have had wires put up for their private use arid carried into the company's central station. so that their messages can be telegraphed from their offices direct to their destination. .....

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JAN. 23. Sittinp in lianco.--(3otoro Lord Chief Justice Erie and Justicur Williuua , wilh., and Kootiug.) I NANDI AND WHIR r. LINDSAY AND OTNERN.-BLACK MCA SHIP CHASTSIts. The plaintiffs in this case were ship-brokers in London. and at Taganrog, iu the Sea of Azof, and the defendants were the well-known shipowners and brokers in London. It was stated that at the time of year when cargoes of wheat are expected from the Black Sea sat in the custom to charter ships awl send them out to the Black Sea, specu- Laing upon a higher rate of freight being obtained out there than had been paid for the ships in London. Acting on this course of business the defendants chartered the William and Mary at fithi. a ton, and employed the plaintiffs to get a freight for her at Taganrog, saying in their letter, " We hope you will be able to place her to advantage, but if, unfortunately, there should be a loss, your draft on us for the difference will meet with duo honour." The rate c freight at Taganrog happened to be only 40s. a ton, and the plaintiffs loaded the vessels themselves at that rate, and drew on the defendants for the difference between that sum and fks. a too. The question was whether under the circumstances of the plaintiffs having themselves loaded the vessel the defendants were bound to pay them the difference between the 40s. and fiDa. freight. At the trial the verdict was entered for the plaintiffs, and the question now was whether a rule to enter a verdict for the defendants should be made absolute. The Court wu of opinion that it made no difference whether the low was sustained upon a cargo shipped by the plaintiffs themselves or by some third person ; in their opinion the defendants were liable, and the plaintiffs were entitled to retain their verdict. ---- Rule discharged. HARTWELL r. VLNLY AN D WIFT.-KIRRING A RAID. The plaintiff, an old man, GS or jean old, bad been in the army ; had subsequently been employed by the Duke of Bedford about the school-room, church, and almshouses at Woburn, receiving a salary of 12s. 10d. a week. One after. Docents. limey, who had taken an active partin the'manage. meat of the schools, went to see Mrs. Stevens, the mistress of the infant school, and in passing along a passage she saw the plaintiff scuffling with a young girl named Brewer, and she afterwards reported to Mr. Cumberledge, the clergyman, that ehe had seen the plaintiff "kissing and embracing" the girl. Mr. Cumberledge, in his evidence, said that he had had complaints of a somewhat analogous kind against the plaintiff previously, and consequently Mn. Vesey 's state ment was communicated to the duke's steward, and the plaintiff was dismissed from his situation. He afterwards brought this action to recover damages for slander, and in his evidence he explained that, whilst he was walking along a ;swage, the girl Brewer pushed a broom against his back, and shoved him on for three or four yards. He turned round, saying, " I will be shot if I do not take the broom from you," and In had his arms round her, and was endeavouring to take the broom away when Mrs. Vesey came within sight. He, however, bad not kissed the girl, nor had anything improper pained; and, indeed, the girl's mother was close by at the time. There was also no foundation for saying that he had behaved with any improper levity on other (=anions. The case came on for trial before the 'Lord Chief Justice at the last assizes, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 501. Subsequently a rule was obtained for a new trial, and this rule to-day came on for argument. Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Couch appeared to show cause, and Mr. 1). Keane to support the rule. The Lord Chief Justice said the question which he left to the jury was whether Mn. Vesev believed that she bad seen any impropriety of conduct on the part of the plaintiff to a aerial degree. There was no doubt that Mn. Vesey acted on motives that entitled her to credit and respect, and there was no doubt also that she believed she saw what she and she saw, though subsequent explanatioes put another interpretation upon the images presented to her eyes. The rule would be a bs olute for a new trial, but as the case was one for the jury, it must be upon payment of costs. Rule absolute. Sittings at Niai Prins in Middlesez.—(Be(ore Kr.

Mr. Mellor and Mr. J. W. Mellor appaare 1 for the plain tiff ; Mr. tierjeant Sallantine and Mr. D. Keane represented the defendants. This was an actual brought by the plaintiff (through his next friend), the eon of a tailor at Chelsea, to recover from the defendants., builders at Turnhiunlrreen, compensation for injuries received through the negligence of the de fendant's aerrant. It appeared that the plaintiff, a little boy, and his brother, wore standing neer a hoarding erected by the defendants, who were engaged in adding a wing to St. Luke's Workhouse, when the hoarling fell on the plaintiff and crushed his thigh, causing such permanent Injuries that his leg is shortened. For the defame, it was alleged that the accident occurred through plaintiff's own fault, inasmuch as while he and his brother were playing round the hoarding they knocked it down. His lordship, in summing up, left it to the jury to say whether the accident had been contributed to by the plaintiff. If they thought not, then they would give such &wages as would meet the justice of the case. The jury retired and found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages, IV. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

IN ItZ JULIUS W. GEM. This insolvent, who applied for his fi nal order, was op posed by a Mies Hannah - Pettit, and supported by Mr. Way. The complainant had sued the insolvent for 13/. and the insolvent pleaded a set-off of 13/. 14e. 6d. The cause was tried in the ltrompton County Court, and Miss Pettit's grievance was, that through the set-off pleaded she had been put to upwards of V. law expenses. Mr. Commissioner Nichols considered that Miss Pettit had a good ground of complaint. Mr. Way urged that the insolvent believed he had a set. off, and therefore pleaded. The learned counsel put some questions to Miss Pettit, who denied that the insolvent had any claim against her. His Honour said he would grant protection for a month, and the insolvent had better arrange with Miss Pettit for the law costs. She bad been put to law expenses, and had aright to complain. The case was accordingly adjourned, with protection. THE RA oCHDALZ COUNTY COURT CASE.—The Rochdale County Court was occupied during a great pert of yesterday with the case Maden v. l'atnack, which recently attracted a good deal of attention in consequence of the judge (C. Temple, Esq., (j. C.) refusing to take the evidence of the plaintiff's wife, after she had consented to take the assuil oath, because she avowed herself a seadarist and said she did not believe in aGod or in future rewards and punish ments, which his honour termed an outrage on public opinion. Yeatenloy Mr. Craufurd, M.P., • ter, ap. peered for Mr. Madeo, and asked for • new trial. The learned counsel spoke about two hours, quoting the opinions of some of the most eminent EmMels, Scotch, and American jurists on the question. His honour refused the application, observing that he was boned to interpret the law as laid down in the statutes, believing that parliament having made exceptions in favour of the gushers and morn. vises would also have made them in cases like the present if it had intended the courts to act in that spirit. He com plained that on a former occasion he had hardly been fairly reported. DEATH OF A CRIMINAL LUNATIC IN BETHLEHEM H4lAPlTAL—Yestenlay afternoon Mr. &leant Payne, co roner for London and Southwark, held an inquest in the Board-room of Bethlehem Hospital, St. George's, South wark, on. the body of Anne Cuffarn, aged 38 years, who dial in that institution. where she was confined during her Majesty's pleasure, for the murder of her child.
