PET= SCOTt P. TEI POZEN.—PITMOII OP EIGHT. i.) When this ease was celled on ur, may five special jurymen answered to their names, and the statement of thqpolfloers of the sheriffs of Middlesex in regard to the others who bad been summoned was, generally, that they had either gone away from the residences given, or were not known there. The Lord Chief Justice said if this occurred again he should certainly fine the sheriffs of Middlesex. It was per fectly scandalous making out a jury panel contaiaing the names of persons, more than half of whom had removed from the Louses where the notices were served, or were altogether naknown at those places. The parties were brought to the court at great expense to have the ease tried, and found that, NI regarded summoning the special jury, the sheriffs might just as well have let it alone. This ms quite a fame, and if there was a repetition°, it he inflict a heavy flee upon the sheriffs. Mr. Lush, on the part of the petitioner, prayed • tales, observing that the act of parliament said that these pro ceedings should be subject to the 'amoral(' which governed civil actions. _ _ . The Attorney-General said be Mir no objection to such a come. The jury was then made up with common jurymen. This was a petition sued by Mr. Peter Scott, of Belfast, stating that he had contracted with the Admiralty to sup ply 50 tons of meadow bay per week for twelve months, and that without good or sufficient muss they had refused to carry out such contract. Her Majesty greeted her flat that right should be done, sod the Attorney-General pleaded that the petition was nt true, either in law or in fact. The mune' were for the petitioner Mr. Lush, Mr. Dishy Seymour, and Mr. Gibbous; for the crown the Attorney. General, Mr. Collier, and Yr. Wen. Mr. Lusk said this was • presseding by which • subject who entered Into a conned with an goverament depart ment, in the event of any breach of that eontmet, was ena bled to assert his rights in the ordinary legal form of • civil action. During the Crimean war the government made a entrant with Mr. Peter Scott to supply forage during twelve months, sad he now sought to recover &Mies@ in consequence of the loss be had sustained by their having refused to carry it out. Before 1854 Mr. Scott was as iron contractor residing at Belfast, but owing to the complaints made in the Crimea as to the quality of the hay supplied by contrackes, the government invited tenders for hay from person in all parts of the United Kingdom, and he meet in • tender in answer to that invitation. The supplies for the army were con tracted for by the Admiralty, and they appointed the com missary pascals throughout the country to act as their nuts in negotiating the contracts. Oa the Bth April, 1854, Mr. Scott received • letter from Mr. William Leybuon, on behalf of the Comptroller of Victualling, stating that the Lords of the Admiralty would entertain any Wader hi mlcht make for compressed hay of good quality, to be delivered at certain parts, and subject to the inspection of military officers, in conjunction with the officers of the naval depart.. went. On the 10th Mr. Scott wrote in amply that be would tender todeliver, at the parts of Liverpool, or Dub lin, riot exceeding 50 toss of imenissr or upland hay, weekly for twelve mouths, meadeer at el. 10e. per toe, and the upland at li, 10s. Mr. 'ulna, IDepady Coat mimary.Oeneral of Mach des, wrote to Mr. Ikon on the 17th April, stating his readiness to wept at lain 150 tons of compressed meadow hay to he allowed ma the quay at Livorno', in quantities of senses than BO toes • week, at 61. 10 a. per toe, subject to the approval of the military oaken at Belfast. Some further senaneadonee thea pared on the subject, and eventually Mr. Seen made large purchases of hay, and erected several madden for the patpoee of compressing it in accordance with the terms of the contract A boardbord of military calms assembled to inspect the hay but refused to have anything to do with it, on the ground that the cavalry horns must have upland or clover hay. Upon this Mr. tioot.4 went to Ifisac•er to have an interview with Mr. Julys., but on arriving there be found that he had ben seseeeded by Mr. Woodley, another officer. Mr. Wood* gave him to understand that he was the senior officer of Mr. Julyau, and had full powers to do whatever he had done. On examining • specimen of the hay he expressed him. self satisfied with said he would write to Ireland, and make it all right, and that he was to push forward the compressing of hay and bad better get steam mills for that purpose. Mr. Scott acted upon thine instructions, entered into additional contracts for hay, including some upland_ ,hay for which he had received sunimt ordain The board of officers came to lined • sand time, ad again refused to look at the meadow hay, but appeovd of the upland and pinned a guard over it to see that it was the hay which was and bound up. The hay was ultimately shipped or Liverpool, but the Admiralty refused to take it, on the ground that • large ponies of it had been condemned, and annulled the contract ; and at the same time • telegraph me nage was met to Belleat, directing the guard which had been placed over the MOICIOW bay to be dianthus& The hay was thus thrown . apoe the petitioner's bands, and he had been obliged to dunes of it at considerable lon. The main question were whether Mr. Wood* had ordered the hay, and secondly , if he did, whether he had authority to do so. The learned weasel said Mr. Woodley had denied that he had ordered the petitioner to continue to supply meadow hay, but ha client infernal that that officer ex pected a bonus from him, and because he did not receive it had put every obstacle in the way of the contract being carried out. Mr. Peter floott was then ILlLliMilld in proof of the above facts, but his e►idence in chief was not concluded when the court raw COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dao. 2. &Wags at Nisi Prim in Mold:ham —Melon Lord Chief ehlikiell Erie sad • Special dory.)

Jesse for the defendants. The iliTintiff's crass was that she was the widow of as officer in her Xa s service, and resided with ber mother at Guildford. Ou tLs 6th of August last she came to Louden on business, sad brought with her • black hag, locked, red also • brown paper parcel ; the two being booed together with • strap. At Loudon-bridge die deposited this parcel at the cloak-room, and received a ticket for it. About half-past six in the evening she applied at the cloak room for the parcel, but it could not be found. She waited at the station until after the last tram left, and consequealy had to remain in Loudon for the night. The following day she applied again at the station without success, and she thm gave a list of the con tents of the bag, and also left the key of it. In addition to wearing apparel, the bag contained a box which had is it • gold watch - and chain and several other articles of jewellery. The following day the beg was sent to the plaintiff, but it was unlocked, and there were missing three gold finger rings, a gold watch key, three gold ear-rings, some French coins, and also a pair of stockings ; the property lost being worth about 201. It was admitted that although the bag was unlocked, still there was a string passed once round the lower part of the handles and sealed, but that the stringless so loose that the mouth o the bag gaped, though not suffi ciently to allow a hand to be inserted. Evidence was given for the defence of the following cir cumstances :—The company had at their cloak-room num bers from 1 to 1,000, sad it seldom happened that the whole of them ran out. On the occasion in question, however, this did occur, and therefore some of the tickets were issued twice over. In this way it happened that the plaintiff and also Mr. Levenon, a solicitor, who left an umbrella, both re ceived the No. TV. On the afternoon of the fith August Mr. Leversos sent a junior clerk with the luggage ticket, and to him the plaintiff's parcel was handed. The wit day Mr. lAversoo found out the mistake, and a milway servant who took home the umbrella reoeived the plaintiff's pircel. He unlocked and examined the bag on ciently to see that it wu the one he was in search of, and at the cloak-room it was more minutely examined. It was then found that the rings and other things now missing were not there, though si enough the earrings were there. The bag was then= and • string was tamed several times round the lower part of the bandies, and sealed, to that even if the bag - bad I been unlocked, nothing could have been taken out of it. Under these circumstances it was contended that the articles in question, with the exception of the earrings, were never put into the bag at all. A point of law was also raked. It appeared that the company had issued a notice that they would not be respon sible for parcels of this nature wnrth more than 101., and this notice was printed on the back of the ticket banded to the plaintiff, though there was no evidence that her atten tion was drawn to it. Under these circumstances the question was whether the company were responsible. The jury founds verd;ct for the plaintiff for 201., and him lordship gave the ilafieclants leave to move the full court on the question el kw.

The Lord Mayor said he had no r ower to mitigate the Sae, which was 1001., or six months imprisonment in de- fault. The prisoner must pay the fine or go to prison for the term be had mentioned. He advised the prisoner, how ever, to petition the custom-house authorities for a miti gation of the fine, and said if it was found that was the first offence they most likely would do so.

He is, of course, very much reduced ; but although thine is every probobility of his ultimate recovery, yet I cannot uodertuke to say be is out of danger. Captain Newcome— Then we think it is (limitable to remand the prisoner again, until we can understand whether the sergeant is out of danger or not.

The fol lowing communication on the subject has been received by the foreman of the jury :—" Whitchureb, Nov. 29.

Three young honor had strayed upon the down Hoe from an adjoining pagan ; and there is reason to believe that one of them was lying between the rails, when the express paned over it, disemoowelling and shock- ingly mutilating it. The other bones were also in front of the train, and the engine appears to have struck them with such force, that their bodies were shattered to pieces.

The fishing io now closed for the season, sad from nearly the beginning of November the rivers have been so flooded that no angling was attempted. Seldom. it sue., a larger class of fish bare bees captured in the Tweed than those taken during the later part of the season now closed. The longest number takes with the rod in one dawas eleven, killed by his Grace the Duke of Roxburgh*. Much larger numbers have often been killed, but no season we ever heard of produced within a week so =toy weighty fish as the following—all killed this season is the Kele° district, within one week, with the red :—Two fish, each 26th.; two, 251 b. each ; two, 241 b each ; one, 2741 b.; one, 221 b.; one, 20th.; oue, Z.31b.; one, 331 b.; cote, 2841 b.; and the " great rish," that weighed 461 b. May &ogler@ believe that such large fish would not bare bees takes but for the act enforcing the return of kelte to the river. The river is still flooded, and it is be lieved that a large quantity of Ash are in it at poloist.— Scotaaaas.
