Tattier,, in showing cuss, observed that the quie tism invelved was of great importance, not only to the prem. bet des to the puble at largo ; and considering the careens- Maws, wheat would *ppm in answer to the application, he was disposed to admire the boldness more than the prudence of the Company in tans calling attention to the enotmoss power with which they bad been entrusted by the legiels sad to the mielsievoes rousequeccel which were likely; to arise from the possess on of such powers. Whoa those oirmantancos were laid before thecae , * he had Do doubt bet that Cm rule would be dechanged. The Elaine Telegraph Company , was incorporated by an ant of parliament. the 9 and 10 Y e., cap 44. It had been anticipated, seeing that the company would probehlysuper ethe other means of comenunisenoo, and that a monop oly Waist be created, undue prefereoce might be given by t to some parties, to the deemed of others. and that great in isonmennees might thereby arise, utiles the public were carefully yenta ageism then. Accordingly by the 44th mo tion of the Art, after reciting the provislons of an act of the 7 sad S Vim., which provided that when an electric tele graph was established on any railway, otherwise than es eensively for the purpose of the railway or her Majesty's servieo, or both, the use of such telegraph shsuld subject to the prior right of her Majesty's seethe, or of the company for the purposes of the company, be open to the public for the 'lading of messages without favour or preference to any, makes these provisions part and parcel of the act incorporat ing the company. It did not appear to have bean contem plated at ala that tits Telegraph company should be regarded or treated as conveyers of intelligence on their own amount. Had such a use of the telegraph been anticipated, it would lave been prevented by wriogent provisions. It was obvious that if the company were to take upon themselves the right el transmitting on their own account the intelligence which they might receive, they would not only supersede all news wets, but might get the puolic press under their controul. The formidable nature of such a power might be appreciated when it was considered that it would put et th. it command the sprints of commerce themselves, and the sources of intel ligence which might even affect the tranquillity of the country. Communications sent by the Paet-oMee are secret, bat these sent by teleraph are necessarily open, solos sent by cipher. and if the cipher was discoered, there could be no secrecy. The tads. its would show that ia a variety of cams the company had made a mat unfair um of their powers, and that, in connexion with this particular ease, they had frequently theconducted themselves in such a way as wholly to then•itle them to the consideration of this court, or to its interference in their behalf. Willmer and Smith had been established for many years in Liverpool as news-agents, and were in the letnt of transmitting to certain newspapers to Landon the intelligence received by sucessidee packets from America, and of receiving from London a sum wary of news for transmission by the packets to America. They had also entered into contracts to supply for a fined annual sum, in each cue, the exchange rooms of Liverpool and Ma..cheeter with intelligence. They had had occasion to complain of various blunders made by the company in the transmission of their messages and of unwarrantable delays M their delivery. They tat also received camplainte from their different correspondents of similar blunders and delays, maned whom hod given them up as their agents on this account, the company taking their place as newsagents in sea cams. Proem these cementation they were satisfied . . that a Axed purpose existed on the pert of the company to drive them cut of the field by the most unwarrantable con trivances, until at last they found it necessary, la t►eir own exculpvtioa acd for their own p:otection, to publish, on the 11th October, the Inter in question in the Morning Herald. That letter was as follows : LLL[GO XIPCONDtC7 TN■ [LOMAX TILTORAPR COUTANT. 10 T•B 1 14101 OF TIII ■IIft.YIYII Ertl—PoreeMeg that the Metric Telegraph Company hive ad dressed re as the subject of their late interruption to the tranthin ion of OW dvegattbre he your paper, may ws beg the favour of your inserting the following statement : Ms matter is one in which not only onnelres bat the press of Gnat Brit:in and the public generally aro deeply inthrestol.

In seeking for this criminal information, the company bad denied in their affidavits the charges imputed to them,which rendered it necosasry that Willmer and Smith should justify themselves, which they had done by their a ffi davits, to which he would presently refer. He would sati-fy the court by them affidavits that from beginning to end the letter and the charges contained is it were perfectly tree. It was impor tant that hi should here at once call attention to the motives which had actuated the company in their treatment of the defendants—as they would furnish a clue to the true character et their transactions with them, and show that conduct, which in other circumstances might be attributed to inadvertence or error, was, in this instance, wilful and deliberate. Willmer and Smith, who had used the wires from the establishment of the telegraph for the purposes of their avocation, applied in 1843 to John Lewis Ricardo the chairman of the company, for a lease of one of the wine, for which they offered to pay 1,0001. annually and to give the company besides half the profits of the wire. Mr. Ricardo offend them the proposed use of the wire for 1,3001. and belt the profits. To this they agreed, provided the com pany would comply with certain conditions, which Mr. Ricardo declined to do demanding an absolute payment of 1,3001., which caused the negotiation to be broken off. Im mediately thereupon, it woull appear by the ail bevies, that Mr. Ricardo had said that Willmer and Smith should be deprived of the oormpoodence and agencies which they then enjoyed. lie would show that that which was thus threatened on the rapture of the negotiation was not a mire hasty and un meaning menace, but • threat which was afterwards cam d oat, and that the company bad availed itself of its baying his. so carried out, by securing to tnemselion the agencies from which the defendants had been distil iced. Before this the defendants had no teason to complain of the conduct of the company towards them. Through their agent in London they had been in the habit of regularly transmitting M Landon newspapers the intelligence noeived by the American packets, and of receiving the London news for transmission to America for publication there. But imme diately alter the negotiations fa question had been broken off, delays innumersb:e took pins in the transmission of their inteiligence backwards and forwards, delays which he would satisfy the court were not accidental or unavoidable, but wilful oa the part of the company. He would tint read the affidavit of one Malley, who wee in the service of the defendant., and who had, before the rupture of the negotiation, teen allowed to attend in the instrument room of the Company, en as to get the intelligence direct from the instrument itself. On the 14th October, 1848, Mussy war, as usual, in the instrument room, when a message was being delivered, by being repeated by • boy to • clerk, whose twi ner it was to commit them to writing. It ran thus : "Don't post the menage in the room this morning till alter the sail ing of the steamer, so that Willmer and Smith—" Here the boy, observing Massey in the room. suddenly stepped; and Mussy obierved that there were bat a few more words contained in the menage, which was com municated in writing, so that be was not aware what they really were. This was confirmed by other affidavits. One sworn to by a party of the name of Bays, la the service of the company, admitted that the de ponent had rapped the rusaage. Another of the name of Spalding, who was also in the company's service, swore that he was in the office when orders came to the elerk command ing him to delay the message until the steamer sailed. An noyed at what he had heard, Mr. Willmer, on the 16th Oct., wrote to the company complaining of the irregularities which had occurred, and demanding an explanatin. He received a reply to the effect that the delay which might have happened had teen occasioned by the quantity of mutter on hand having precedence over the de •patches of the defend. ants. Mr. Willmer afterwards wrote, stating that this reply was not satisfactory. To this he received in reply • note in these words from one of the officers of the company " I am instructed to say, in reply to your letter just received, that the matter of your complaint is under the investigation of the directors. ' Now in this part of the cue there was obvious proof of an intention on the pert of the company to obstruct the Upham; of the defendants. There was no denial given at any time by the directors in this correspondence to the charges preferred by the defendants. The learned counsel thin approached that part of the ease, which em braced the delays which had taken place in the transmission of Intelligence from Liverpool to London. On the 11th November Mr. Robinson swears that several menages were given which were not properly delivered. The de b ndants bad entered into arrangemen".• to supply an evening paper with news of the Liverpool cattle market ; but many manages containing such news were not delivered until se veral hours after the company had received them, and when they were too late for publication, and became thereby entirely useless. On the 20th of August, the 16th September, and the 7th and Bth of October, ntemagee were also to greatly delayed as to be rendered entirely useless. The message respuring the attempt made on the Queen's NIS was sent down by their London agent to the defendants an Ss day evening. It appeared that ft was the practice oldie company to deliver messages, nog may et the places elbesiment of those to whom they were addressed, but also satiable private residences, when their place of business were not aseessible. On Willmer and Smith's office the private miasma of the parties was indicated in legible ' obaramers—the reddest)* of one of them not being more than live minutes walk from their nate,. Bat the me sage was not delivered to either of them till Monday morning, fully 34 hours after it had been received by the clerks of the company. These delays were not, it seemed, confined to the defendants. Mr. Ricardo and Mr. Cook, both directors of the com pany, swore that massages were never unnecessarily delayed, but that they were always forwarded with all pea... Pale dis patch, but, to show that this was not the case, the learned counsel referred to several affidavit', and, amongst others, to that of one Arland, who had been in the service of the company, and who swore to what opposes& to him to be instances of unneemeary delay whilst he was in this service of the company. It was also ewers that • message for the 2'lmes had been delayed, or sent Is an incomplete form, in order that the company might transmit intelligence on their own amount ; trona the transmission of which they would derive greater profit. Mr. Aepinall, a stockbroker, also swore to a delay which had taken plate in the transmission of a menage of hie on the 27th July, 1848. Olen occurred in the month of May, and in all there were ne lets thsa 46 blunders con firmed by affidavit in 30 menage... The imaged cauneel I then went on to show that Mr. Iticardo's threat to deprive the defendants of their correspoadescu and agencies bad been carried into execution. He had already stated that they were la the habit, in consideration of an annual payment, of supplying with iatelligeom the Liverpool and Manchester news rooms. The committees of these rooms had complained of repeated delays. It appeared that Mr. Cocks, the super intendent of the telegraph at Manchester, had endeavoured to prevail upon the committee, to dismissWillmer and Smith, sad take their intelligence direct from the company at an manual sum to be agreed upon. The committee, had pre viously requested from Willmer and Smith an esolanivion of the blunders, deleys, and emissions, which' had oc curred. Mr. Smith bad attended and explained them by detailing the unfair treatment experienced by himself and partner at the hands of the company. The learned counsel then priceeded to detail the ewe, in which, in defiance of the act of parliament, peefennee and favouritism had ban shown to certain parties by the company. apaldbas swum that Its had en ems °cession, been ordered to wittiold the saw sage ee Winner and Smith, until the message transmitted by the anspany had been posted up in the company's Imre ream. Cocks had been heard to see that they must prevent Wilbur and Smith from getting before the company. One Item is the employment of Widmer and Smith, bad applied to become a subset iber to the news room of the company, but he woe refused by Cocks as the express ground that he was in their moat. The *Weft evidently was to throw every la the way of Weiner and Ihadth, sad it was he this eldest that a diderenes was eatabliehed between them and the Mbar see/imam re la Limped as regards the spentismi el the company. It she mewed that, ia Misses of the eat el parliament, e arresgmesst had hue catered Into with the Timm, by whisk It Wee agreed thee that paper was to have • priority with the telegraph over all others. This was etsairmed by affidavits which the learned cows' reed. Oa ace mod= whin Rye sailed with • message from WiUmer and Smith, he bead that that meseege was to be peetpeaed to mmequesos of this arreariemrat He remosstrated, but was told by the clerk that the Time. waa entitled to this priority, lassmuili se it had intend into • yearly contract. Ross showed hies the section of the set imposing pitiable' for preference, but he replied that he would sWd by the order of the company, moraine of the sot of parliament. The course prescribed by the est wee, that the parties who came first should be first menet It wee the practice, in order to ascertain the &ergo te be made, to roust the number of words in the sesesese tra nsmitting it, but to expedite tise m of the news, an errasiginsiest had been made to sois i n e : speeds, sot then, bat after the arrival of the message. The mmerquence was, that the rule prescribed by the act might at say time have beta rendered nugatory, for whirr the words of the sewage first brought were being counted, • message of the Timm, subsequently brought, might be transmitted before it. When the President's inaugural menage was expected from America, persons in the employment of Willnier and Smith and of the Times, struggled for the priority. Rose, on the part of Willmer and Smith, was at the Telegraph-cilia at an early hoar, and had sawed the wires for the transmission of a wrap by cipher. Whilst this was being due the agent Odle Ti.... arrived, and insisted that the clerk should desist from sending William and Smith's message, and give his the priority. He was aware that it would be urged that the me age which was being cwt by Willraer sad Smith was a sham message, and merely seat to keep the wins engaged for them until they were ready to seed a real menage. But this did not make against them, inasmuch as such practices were frequently resortiii to. Besides, before this message in cipher was completed, Mn, Willaser himself had arrived with the real message and the clerk was pro ceeding to transmit it when the Times agent again insisted on his priority acce ding to the agreement. In the mesa time a meow came down from London, ordering that the Tine, message should have the priority. Willmar and Smith's meow was thereupon stopped, and the Tim, message forwarded. The send ing of the sham manage, in this instance, had been treated as unfair or improper by the com pany itself. Having referred to other cases, the learned coup sel said he bad shown that they had been repeatedly guilty of vio lation of the act of parliament; that they had been guilty of preferences contrary to the intention of the act; that they had obstructed the deteadants in their business; that they had committed gren blunders, and been guilty of unwar. notable delays; and that the, had been exorbitant in their charges. Having shown this, it was evident that they had plated themselves in a poaition which justified the complaints preferred against them by the de fendants. Every one of the charges made against them was founded on tact., end he could not but come to the concha. sion that, on the whole, this was a cues in wtich their lordships would not feel themselves justified in interfering. Mr. Peacock, who was on the same side, was proceed ing to address the court, when he was stopped by Lird Campb.ll, who called upon the Attorney-Oeneral, who supported the rale, to reply to the argument of Sir F. Thesiger. The Attorney-General observed that when he had ex- plained the facia on the other aide, all doubt as to the prc pristy, if not the necessity, of making the rule absolute would disappear. iie appeared on behalf of the directors of the company, who were directly assailed in the libel cons. plained of, and not on behalf of the company. The libel contained five charges. Each of them was distinctly and positively contradicted, whilst none of them had been suit stantiated by the counter affidavits, unless the court should place implicit reliance in the statements of Acland, a dis charged servant of the company. The defendant., instead of making good the charges contained in the libel, indulged In other vague charges. which the applicants had not had the opportunity of properly meeting. This was not the proper way in which to answer an application like the pr, sent. The fourth was the principal charge contained in the libel. That charge was that which referred to the fictitious news from Ireland—in other words, the hoer played, as tar, themselves my, upon the defendants on the 27th July, 1848. The charge soneeded with this fictitious intelligence was, that it was het seat by the company to Ceptil•court ; that it was then taken to Sir G. Grey, and that lastly it was taken to tbe Morning Herold—whereas the bargain with the company • was that they might port it up in their news room stmi teneously with delivering it to the Herald, in consideratiou of their transmitting it free of charge. It was a serious charge to make that the news in question was first ma le known in Caul-coact. Nobody could read that charge without coming to the concluunt ttat the directors had made use of the tele graph for improper purposes. Nor was the insinuation amply that they used the n-ws In Capel.court, but that they also manufactured it. This increased the gravity of the charge. In sup port of this i • lion the circumstance was relied upon that, for some time previous, the wires were in a state of preparation, but in the then state of Ireland there was nothing ernordinary in this. There could be no d..ubt but that the news bad been most improperly concocted by some body, for meet improper purposes. Roes, who was in the employment of Willmar and Smith, bad brought the news I. the telegraph offs. lie slid that he got it from somebody, but took care not to say from whom. There was some ground for looking in that quarter for the authorship of the news. The story might have been one concocted with the cognisance of car thin parties in London, in which case It would not excite surprise that it might have been talked of on the Stock Exihange before it was conveyed by Mr. Ricardo to Sir G. Grey. The learned Attorney-General then went on to ex plain the circumstances which bed transpired on the news reachiag London. On its reaching Lothbury, Mr. Cooks sent it sealed to Mr. Ricardo, instead of sending it into the room into which such messages were usually sent. Thi., under the circumstances, was a meat prowr course to take. Yr. Ricardo then took it to Sir G. Grey, telling him that the conditions of the agreement made were such that he could only withhold the publication of it for three quarters of an hour, during which the secretary might have the opportunity of making what preparations he might think proper. Mr. Ricardo swore that, according to the terms of tYe bargain, the message was sent to the papers at 11 o'clock end that it was also, by the terms of the agree meet, posted 'in the general news room of the cos about ortirho". .T,ht:emooemtptatey hadeg allegati on withheld ptil the _y, had used it in Capel-court and in their own nein nem. But the sting of the charge was that it was area made known in Capita:curt. It wee alleged that they were list to send it to the //mid and then to use it in their news nom. This was met by the counter allegation that they were to use it contemporaneously, with the delivery of it to the Herald, and that before using it or delivering it, they had taken it to the Secretary of State. The director posi tively denied that they made any use of the intelligence in Lapel -court. It was kept a secret from every one until it had been taken to Sir George Grey, and afterwards posted no in the newsroom. Riley arid Beckwith, who were Doti in the intelligence department, stated that they knew nothing about it, the news having reached that department. Mr. Bright, who carried it to Sir G. Grey, knew nothing about it. Iwo persons, named Bannister end Evans, heard, between sine and ten o'clock, that some extraordinary news had come from Ireland. Be ing a boss, it was probable that some parties here were ex• petting it, and it we. natural that they should endeavour to produce an impression that something important was anti eipated.P3right, although he knew not what the menage was, was net ordered to keep it a secret that some important news had come from Ireland. It was no wonder, then, that it should have been a matter of rumour and talk about that hens*. Lord Campbell—Does not one of the affidavits state that I the news, which afterwards turned oat to be a hoer, was then spoken of about the news room and the Stock.Esehange ? The Attorney-General thought that this was not so. The only affidavit that appeared to go that length which had been read on the other side was that of • party of the name °Mums, a part of which the learned Attorney- General now read, to show that his lordship's impression wee erroneous. Loud Campbell—The deponent is certainly guilty at great equivocation, unless the alleged defeat of the Queen's troops and the other features of this piece of fictitiou sews were talked of on 'Change at the time. The Attorney-General observed that he was quite sure the deponent was not guilty of perjury, and that he would be much surprised if he heard his lordship my so. Lord Campbell-1)o you expect us to act on such niceties u whether it was the rumour of important news or the news itself that was talked of at the time, on an application for a criminsl information? These things might well appear In an action, or on an indictment before a jury. The Attorney-General said that the company' did not fear 'm u g before a fury ; on the other hand, they courted it. Bat in • case I'ke this, the applicants should not be deprived of a remedy like that now applied for, sesieg that none of the charges made against them had been substantiated by affidavits, but that other and vague charges had been male, whilst the original charges were contradicted and positively denied by the affidavits of the applicants. The charges were contradicted and were not repeated, but others were made in their stead. It was said at first that the news had been make known by the company in Capel-court. That was not now pretended, all that was insinuated being that some rumour of a general character was 'Host in Capel court. Mr. Cooper, connected with Lloyd's, swore that he had heard the disastrous news from Ireland about 10 o'clock. Mr. Wettenhall swore that the neve was the subject of con versation in the Telegraph-office before hall-put 10. It was true that Mr. R i c a rdo says that it was not posted up till about 11. Here was certainly a discrepancy, but one easily explainable, and one which would not of itself NUS,' the court from withholilag its ul terior's:me in the ease. The third chants was that connected with the message announcing the attempt on the Queen's life. On the arrival of the message in Liveroml, a messenger was seed with it to the oleos of Wainer of Wilier and Smith. Itindioet It shut, it being late on Saturday night, he returned with the; message about half-past 10 o'cick. He was then told to carry i; to their private residence, which he I w in d to do. Yet this was the flimsy foundation upon whisk Ohio third sharp w:d Welds by whisk the conspeny ere held forth as guilty of "• ateckery, a deludes. sad a snare enegualled is the annals of business." TM fifth sharp had reference to the last trial of Smith O'Brien. Bet the company are entitled to me their own wires for msmago et their own. This was all that they did is that ease, sad they were not charged with having done any more. Under these cirearastanass, were they to be re fused the isterposition of the court, when all the charges them were set and dialed—end when mZ is eire not repeated, whilst ether 'harps only were ated and put forth ? Were each a rale to be laid down, it would be attended with hoonvenience of the most serious kind. Taking it for pasted that the charges, which were thus contradicted, were not supported by reiteration or restatement In the affidavits, there would be no ground for refusing the interposition of the court, even if the new charges made ware clearly made oat—but th is they were sot. Lord 6aspbell.—Tbey an not et liberty to make other chrges. Sir F. Thesiger observed that no other charges wen made. All the bete deposed to in the affidavits went to make out the original charges, and were so istsoded. The Attorney-General, ht resuming, obesrved that the blunders complained of were of the most insignificant kind. The stockjobbing charge connected with the names of Mr. Bolton and Mr. Sampson Ricardo, was a new charge, all of which rested on no other fouadadon than the affidavit of Aclaad, a diesharged servant of the company. There was another share to the effect that Mr. Ricardo bed entered into negotiat on with the Merning Chronicle and Times, I with a view to supplying them with seclusive information. But this the company bad a perfect right to do. They bad a right to send out their own spats for news, as the news , papers did. If they had this right, they had also the right to sell their information to any newspaper, as well as to east- Emanate it to their sukscrilmrs t . . - Lnd Campbell— Nit at 141 a • attire contemplate that the company should, on their own amount, become dealers in saws ? The Attorney-General observed that the previsions of the 44th section of the act wets to the effect that they were to transmit news for their customers, subject to the priority secured for her Majesty's service and for the purposes of the company. Mr. Justice Patteson—That is, the Railway Company. The Attorney-General—No, the Telegraph Company. Mr. Justice Patteson—l doubt that. Lord Campbell—lf they were not expressly prohibited, I will not now undertake to say that such a use of the wires would be illegal. They might us the wires on their own mount, even it it was for the Telegraph Company that they &deo, without entering into bargain' with newspapers to supply them with the news. The Attorney General contended that if they bad a right to collect news for their subscribers, they bad equally a right to dispose of it to a particular paper or papers. As to the delays complained of by Wilhite'. and Smith, they did not attempt to show that w►en their messages were delayed the wins were not in active uss transmitting other isesugee. Lord Campbell—What they complain of is the systematic delay of their news, so as to be too late for the American packets. The Attorney-General said that that wu denied in the ' affidavits, which stated that the c-mpiuiy had always acted with perfect good faith, but that somsumes unav,iidable de lays would arise. Mr. Justice Pattie= here read the section of the act respecting the use of the wires by the company on their own account. It was evident, he thought, that it was not ' the intention of the hgislature that they should become the distributors of newe. Lord Campbell—lt is obvious that the most mischievous consequences might ensue if they were to do so. They may become the transmitters of news for their customers, but that is different from acting as the distributors of news on their own account. _ _ The AttorneyOaneral then briefly recapitulated the heads of hie argument, and submitted that the rule should now be made absolute. Mr. Marna and Mr. Hayes were heard on the unto aide. Lord Campbell.—We are of opinion that according to the principles which govern applications of this nature, this rule should be discharged, and that the parties applying for it should be left to their remedy by action or indictment, As an action is now pending between the applicants and other parties in which the question will be decided by a jury, I abstain born saying more at present, that there may be no prejudice in that action from any thing that may fall from me. Bale discharged without cosy. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1850• Ex AAAAA THI COUNT POMMY MI Joint MU/RAT. Mr. Cockburn moved for a rale nisi, to show cause why a criminal inform n should not be filed against the publisher of the Quarterly Beeline, for a libel published in the last number of that periodical against M. Pulnky. The article complained of, after statioga variety of circumstances connected with the recent revolutionary events in the east of Europe, went on to say that the Hungarian agents who were in the capital, made common cause with the rebels and outcasts from France, Germany. and Poland, who had hurried to Vienaa in the hope of blood and plunder. It also stated that money was profusely scattered amount them, and that, if any feeling of humanity remained in their breasts, it was drowned in intoxicating liquors, which were also distributed amongst them. Thus prepared they commenced the insurrection, which shortly afterwards broke out, by the murder of Count Latour, and by the expulsion of the emperor from the capital. The article thee alleged that the agents in these crimes, the distributors of the price of blond, are not only now received in the clubs of this city, but also in the mansions of the ministers alluded to in the papers, as honoured guests at their c ninny seats. There was also a note to this part of the article, which the learned counsel read as part of his case. Thin, he contended, was no doubt a li bellous production, if it could be applied to any particuler person or persons. Count Pul.sky we the only party to whom it could be applied. Shortly after hie snive l in London, as envoy from the Hungarian govern. ment, be had been admitted into the R4urm Ciub, and was alter that a guest at the Marquis of Linsdowne's. M. Pulizky was the only Hungarian in England to whom these descriptions could apply. He was prepared with the affida vits of Mr. Rsikes Currie and other respectable parties, to show that they at once applied the article to M. Pulisky whilst an article had appeared in the Globe, founded on the supposition that he was the witty pointed at. Lord Campbell—We are of opinion that there is rot enouch laid before the court to justify its interference. Mr. Pub sky's object, which is highly laudable, will be no doubt answered hy the application, and the affidavits on which it is made. Tnere is no doubt in the world that he is au inno cent and an honourable man. The libel is not necemarby pointed against him, and is not, therefore, calculated to in jure his character, end on that ground, and on that alone, we refute the rule..—Rule refused. TER COUNTY COURT.—YESTERDAY. Bare= Fume BATLWf. ESQ. Hoorn v. H. .1. SERJBANT.—A CHILLY LADY IN A FASHIONABLE WEST-IND BOARDINO-HOCSIL Mr. Williams stated that his client sought to recover the sum of 201., mitigated damages, for breach of contract, of the defendant, a lady of fortune and high respectability. His client kept a boarding-house, No. 12 a, Great Cumberland place, Hyde-park, and on the 12th of March last the defen dant, alter some weeks' negotiation, commenced to be a boarder of the pbentiff's, upon the following terms:—The defendant agreed to pay the sum of 41. 10e. per week for the use of two bedrooms, a drawing-room, audience-room, and dining-room ; to keep her own servant, who was to attend her in her private room, and was to be boat ded beside. The principal feature of the agreement was this—the defendant distinctly specified that she must be kept warm ; this the plaintiff engaged to do; but although his client kept the holm up to a degree fir the germination of the most tender exotics, Mrs. Serjeant was still entity. It was true the weather was severe at the time, but his client had so warmed the house as to make it too hot for a distin guished foreigner, whom he would call, and who, before he came over to this country, did not knew what an English fire was. About 12 o'clock on the 13th of March the defendant left the house of his client, after tendering 21.1 for the trou►le she had pat his client to. Although he would prove that the rooms, &c., were let for eight weeks certain, which at 41. 10s. par week would amount to 361., his client, availing of the County Court Act, chose to reduce the amount, and he felt sure hie Honour would consider that no breath of the contract had arisen from his client, but tilts Mrs. Serjeant, if she were of such a chilly nature, ought not to take up her residence in a boarding-house, but rather in a hot-house of some private lady. He then eilted Mrs. Hooper, who deposing to her solicitor's statement, said that Mrs. Serjeant, who gave reference to Messrs. Courts, her beakers, had dined, &o , with her boarders on the first night of her entrance, and expressed herself per fully satisfied ; that on the following morning the lady com plaisedof cold and said she must leave. She had previously been offered 6001 a year for the same accommodation, but refused to let it on account of children. Had done her utmost to promote the warmth of the lady, and also her com forts. M. Bracket, in answer to Mr. Williams, said that be bad been a "boarder" at the plaintiff's, and recollected Mrs. Serjeant, coming on the 12th March, and also on the follow ing morning seeing immense fires all over the house; and he would observe that the lady must be " Vot you call it— chilly, 0 very, to be cold ; when she say she wu." (Loud laughter.) He did not speak from his own horns fires; for his .• country" bad not much good fires as in Ragland ; they wanted the " coals." Mr. Whitty, for the defendant, observed that not wishing to take up the time of the court, he would at ones admit the agreement entered into, and also the hand-writing of the letters his Honour had before him. The defence he had to the action was, that the plaintiff had most signally failed to perform his part of the contest, and that hie client find ing her health endangered, had • perfect right to annul the agreement, and that the sum tendered, 21., was more than ample for the night's secommodation. Mrs. Serjeant, who was too id to stand in the witness-box, was examined seated. After deposing to the above state meats of the agreement entered into, said that her ill health would not permit her to live in Hampshire in the winter reason—that she then came to London for • more genial climate and having taken up her abode in the plaintiff's house under a distinct understanding that she must be kept warm throughout the house, she found heeled( so cold that she weld not remain ; than were beside some other ineon- Toulouse, the linen was not clean, and other domestic ar rangements were not in accordance to that elegance and comfort eh* had been sanctioned. She was now living in Pall-mall. Having given plaintiff 2/., the plaintiff demanded 41. 10,„ which the defendant could not think of paying, for if the plaintiff had been put to inconvenience by the sudden departure she had been put to mush greater. The servants on each side were called, but proved nothing materiel. The learned jades observed that Monsieur Bonilla% had sot %distilled to the firs in the ball, and he would like to hear some further explanation. This witness billed to nuke himself understood upon this point. His Honour observed that the plaint demanded some fur ther attention, and deferred Rhine his judgment. Ju ;gement deferred amordinglv.

Tes RECSNT ASSAULT IN HYDE CARL—Cape Mont 9aae►y, formerly of the 4th Light Dragoons, appeared before Mr. Bingham, to answer a charge of violent assault on Mr. Thomas Bolt, of Hyde-patk.gardens, with the loaded end of a stick. - --- Mr. Mt, whore eye wu bandaged up and who appeared to have suffered severely, was accommodated with a seat in the counsel's box. Mr. Clarkson said, now that his client, Mr. Role, was suffi cier tly recovered to be able to give evidence, the appearance whirl he presented could not fail to show that it was tne re sult of savage violence inflicted open him by some peens) or other. There had been a misundentanding between the two gentlemen previous to the moult, on the ouleject matter of which he had no desire to enter, unties it was the plea sure of hie learned friend Mr. Bodkin that he should do so. Mr. Rolt received a letter from Captain Montgomery which had been written evidently with but one object. hit. Rah put a restraint on himeelf, and took no notice of it. lie was pasting through Berkeley-tepees in his brougham shortly afterwards and wu assaulted by C ipt. Montgomery. After this event, Mr. Rolt was, on the following Sunday, walking in Hyde-park, when the assault was committed under circum stances which would be disclosed in evidence. The itjary sustained by Mr. Bolt was a prievous one, and, though he admitted that provocation was given to Captain Mont gomery, in the shape of a blow with the hand, still it would be for the court to decide what was the real character of the cue, and why Captain Montgomery was found walk ing about the streets with a loaded stick which he afterwards used with such dangerous violence on the bare head of Mr. Mr. Rolt deposed that ha became acquainted with Captain Montgomery some years ago at Leamington. On the 9th of April be was riding in lila cub through Berkeley-square, about four o'clock, when he was overtaken by Captain Muntgomell, who was on horseback. Captain Montgomery rile up, and called him a liar. Complainant proceeded a few paces, upon which Captain Montgomery rode up and hit him on the breast with • stick, on which complainant endeavoured to keep him off with his whip, and in so doing struck Captain Montgomery's horse, and then complainant was left to pursue his row°. Twre days afterwards complsiaant received a note to this effect: Tour Insulting oondnet to me induced me to horsewhip you in Berkely-square. I hardly expected you would have put up soquietly with the ehastinenient you received. I waited at the Army afro Navy Club all day, but have not heard from you. I now teste you to the contempt you merit, and I write to you solely to tell you I shut' mare it public the punishment I indicted on you, and the manner you bore it. C. Mostotosaav, Late of the 4th Light Dragoons. Complainant saw nothing more of Captain Montgomery until he met him on the following Sunday in Hyde-park. Complainant did not answer the letter; but he wrote Ow ' wards to the Army and Navy Club, and the note was not taken in. On the Sunday when the assault took place, complainant was going towards Tatteinint, when Captain Montgomery and two friends passed him. As they passed, heard them ' jarring and lan gli ing at him. Went to Tattersall's and remain , d ahont ten minutes, and then returned through Hide-park. Nett Apeley-housesaw Captain Montgomery standing in con versation with two gentlemen. Went up to him and said, "Captain Montgomery, you behaved in an ungentlemanly and cowardly manner to me in Berkeley-square. It is not I kely I shall keep it—therefore, take that," slapping him with the heck of the open hand on the face. The blow was not given wit► force—it was only meant as an indig nity. Captain Montgomery said " you," and then drew from behind him a stick, which he appeared to have had partly in his coat pocket. Complainant perceived Captain Montgomery was going to strike him, snd he held up his stick to guard off the blow. He did not succeed, and the Wow fell on his head and knocked his hat off. C I mplainant, seeing the defendant was about to repeat his assault, handed his stick to a person standing near, but the person would not take it. Complainant then received a blow over the eye which de priced him of his senies for the time. It app• arid as if defendant held his stick in both hat.do, but complainant could not tell which end he was stra.ck with. When com plainant recovered his senses he found he had received severe wound; the blood was running down, and the sight of his rye wan gone. Did not know whether Captain Mont gomery struck or attempted to strike a third blow. Was taken to St. George's II 'spits', and afterwards went home, and had been attended by Dr. Pepe eve r since. Had suffered great pain from the blow, and was still suffering from the violence he bad sustained. In reply to a question from Mr. Bodkin, Mr. It ilt sai 1 h• was connected with the turf, and the owner of race hones. _ _ Mr. Bodkin, for the defence, would abstain from all re ference to the circumstances which led to the q. I. Tne first assault had been committed by the complainant, and from the evidence it @prase 1 it was perfectly unsought and uncalled for on the port of Cerain Montgomery. The com plainant bad also applied opprobrious words to the defen dant, which nu one who had been in her Majesty's service could submit to. The d. Pendant used his stick, the com plainant defending himself also with a stick tipsily formid able, it used with determination. He hoped as the com pl anent was not now to sustain ail serious conse que from the blow, that the bench would be disposed not to deal in a harsh way with the case by irdlicting the indignity on his client of compelling him to appear in • court, at the bar of which, if a person were placed, whether on a civil or criminal charge, the circumstances carried with it • stain that could not be got rid of. He trusted the bench would not send the case to the sessions. _ _ _ Mr. Bingham said the the prosecutor had put a powerful answer in the hands of the detendrit, ny admitting that he struck the first blow ; yet under the circumstances of the case he could not but think it was right that the opinion of • jury should be taken, whether or not it was the intention of the defendant to induce such a colourable assault on him by the complainant as might afford any opportunity to use • very formidable instrument. It was right to put the case before a jury that way, and he must therefore coil on the defendant to find bail to answer the charge at the Centel Criminal Court. Mr. Bodkin said it was only the indignity of appearing at that court which he objected to. Mr. Clarkson intimated that due advice would be given as is the COWS a of future proceedings. The defendant was then bound over and liberated. MARKETS COTTON —LivaßPoot.. MAY 6.-4,000 hales were sold to-day, and of these 60U were taken fur export. Rates steady.
