Last night the annnal regatta dinner was held at Ilse Club-house. The Commodore, George Holland Aare's, FN., presided ; the riee.chair was taken by the Vice. lConineslore, Thomas Chamberlayne, Egg. The business of the day set down upon the card consisted 'ef two races for 601. each, for cotters and schooners below bag to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. There were en entries fur the first and three for the second. The entries for the latter consisted of the Galatea, the Wildfire, and the &nave ; but as the Wildfire is scarcely considered to be fairy-built etbnooer, being ileecribed as merely a cutter with two masts, the Galatea and Zoturre refused to make as elk:mei:ice for difference of tonnage, and the rice went et altogether. The next rues on the card was a prize of UV., open to 'ratters of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. A time race, on We arran.:ement of half Ackers's scale.

The matter has been for some time before the house, aid has been reported from time totime in our journal. Their Lordships now delivered their opinion, and held that the claim to the peerage had been made out, and also that the claim to vote for representative peers for Ireland had been established. CAIRRCROI4B r. LORIMER. This was an appeal from the Court of Scission. The ques tion involved related to the claim of a body of the Free Church of Scotland, called the congre6rnon of United Original Seceders of Carnoustle, to the c arch, manse and' offices in the possession of a portion of the congregation under that name, who are the respondents. The cam wm argued some time mime. The decision of the court below was now affirmed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCIIIT.—Gun.DroaD, Arcarru 9. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Special Junes.) PLUDLAVI V. N.MUZZAT. This was an action to recover 961., the Wane/ for royalties and other charges in eminences with a patent invention belonging to the plaintiff for the prevention of smoke. The defendant pleaded that the invention had failed, and on this ground the claim was resisted. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Hannan were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Wood, and Mr. Lloyd were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action, it appeared, had tad several inventions for the prevention of smoke in and the defendant is a very extensive paper rambetarer, who carries on his business at Garrett-Lae. Wanderers*. The defendant took possession of these premises in 1864, and had since expended a very large sum of money upon them and it appeared that at the tune he took poeseadon at'ass the plaintiff's patented inventions was in operation, 1111 n WY not found to succeed, and they tried several others, hut without attaining the desired object. In the course of the year 1859, it seemed that the plaintiff hod another patent somewhat similar to the original one, but which was repro muted to be a great improvement upon it, and at the close of that year the defendant entered Into a negotiation with him, the result of which wee that the plaintiff's patent was applied to eleven furnaces in Mr. M•Murray's establishment in the beginning of the present year, and the plaintiff re mired Mg. for the alteration. The invention appeared to consist in the application of doors to the furnaces, which were mole something upon the principle of a Venetian blind, admitting a current of air when fuel was put hi, and by this means mining the combustion of the smoke, the apertures closing by themselves when this result was ob tained. It appeared, however that they did not at a ll answer the purpose, and the defendant abandoned the use of them and was compelled to use Welsh coal, which does DOA emit any smoke, but which is much more expensive than ordinary coal, and the payment of the present claim was re sisted on the ground that the plaintiff had warranted that hi. invention would prevent smoke, and as it had failed to effect that object the defendant was not liable. The ease on the part of the plaintiff was, firstly, that he never gave any such warranty ; and, se condly, that in point of fact the Invention did carry out the object sought for, and that the failure in the present instance was owing to the mouths of the furnaces being too small. In support of this view of the case the original agreement for the alteration of the furnaces was put in, and it appeared that nothing WWI son- tamed in it relating to a warranty ; but the plaintiff was merely to make the alteration for a certain sum, and he himself deposed that he never gave any warranty of the kind suggested. The cane on the part of the defendant was that the plain tiff, when he entered into the arrangement with Mr. M'Mumy, guaranteed that the new invention should effect the object sought for, and that Mr. WMarray should never more be troubled with smoke ; but it appeared that very soon after the new doors had been put to the furnaces the evil was as great as ever, and Mr. Miturray was summoned to the Wandsworth police-court by the government inspec tor and fined for not taking means to prevent smoke at his manufactory. It was also proved with regard to the allegation an to the mouths of the furnaces being too mall to allow the new invention to act properly, that the plain tiff bed the entire control of the alterations, and that the mouths could have been enlarged at a very small expense. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said that th e only question the jury had to consider was whether it bad been established by the defendant that the plaintiff bad warranted the invention to succeed in preventing !smoke. Under ordinary circumstances, when a person made use of a patented article, he was supposed to be acquainted with its nature ; and if it did not answer the purpose for which it was intended, lie bed no remedy. If, however, a war ranty or guarantee was given that a certain object would be attained, and the invention failed in effecting that object, the patentee could not recover in an action of this descrip tion, and the defendant would be entitled to a verdict. The jury said they were of opinion that no warranty had been given, and a verdict was therefore taken for the plain tiff for the amount sought to be recovered. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and Common Juries.) CRZIIBWZLL r. MOION. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Watkin Williams were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Prentice for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action is a steam engine manufac turer, and he brought the action against M r . M oxon , th e contractor for the new main sewer in the metropolis, for returning a steam engine which had been l en t t o hi m ; in • damaged state, contrary to the terms of tLe agreement en tered into between them. The engine, it appeared, had been let for 2(W. • month, and was worked for eight months, and when returned it was found that the plates ou the upper part of the fire-fine had collapsed, and tte rivets at the joints wrenched. Several boiler-makers were milled, who attributed this result to letting the water too low, by which the plates became red hot, and the sudden genentioh of steam caused when fresh water came in contact with the red hot plates bent and depressed them. There was a good deal of conflicting evidence as to the condition of the en. gine, and it appeared that new plates bad been substituted for the injured ones. . . _ MISTING 07 ciawrom.

Of the liabilities on bills discounted the amount expected to be honoured at maturity (22,0881.) was stated to be represented by goods. On the lit of January, 1868, the estate showed a deficiency of 24,0001. and from that period up to the date of the stop page the toes from bad debts has amounted to 48,4391., and upon trading (ariaing from deprecia tion in the value of the stock, kc.) to 39,2841. Within the same time the following items are shown : Trsde expenses, 7,194!. ; interest, 22,113!. ; drawings, 11,1831., of whch 8,1271 was taken by Mr. W. T. Smith, 34141. by Mr. W. F. Patient, and 1,8211. by Mr. B. Smith. Considerable losses have also arisen in connexion with farming operations. The partners, it was stated, were disposed to stop in 1867, but permitted theutnelves to be controlled by the larger house. The magnitude of the private expenditure gave rime to considerable discussion particularly as 1,2001. was drawn as late as June last by one of the partners. This fact was characterised as of a dis graceful character by the chairman. The represen tative of the London Joint Stock Bank thought that the estate ought to be placed in the Court of Bankruptcy,and this view was coincided in b y other crehors. It was eventually determi ned, however, to leave the question as to whether the winding-up shall take place in that manner or under inspection in the hands of the principal creditors. PROGRESS OP THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. (Foxe the City Prom) The rapidity with which the works of this railway are being pushed on by the spirited and confident con tractor, Mr. Jay, is a matter no less for surprise than congratulation. The general public hear bet little, and see nothing, and there is a shadow of an opinion floating about that the works are stopped and that the whole affair is in a state of poetpanese That there is no ground for such an opinion was andleisatly evidenced to a small peaty of citizens who visaed the works on Wednesday last, for the purpose of an operas.. The day being wet, and the escurmon not a may egyseable one, there were but few pre sent of the seeker baited, and the following constituted the party en the occasion :—Kr. Deputy Read u. Welter, C.o._; G. Deland, Esq., C.C. • W. C.C.; H. W. Wall, Esq., stream to the GreaW elto n ; Railway ; H. Potter, Esq. ; Mr. H. Gilbert, and Mr. Jay. The party were oructed from the Great Northern termiumi direct into the tunnel which connects the Great Northern with the Metropolitan, which tunnel, thanks to Mr. Jay, is already completed. The junction commences with the Great Northern Railway, near the entrance to the first tunnel on that line, and runs from there to King's cress, which is a distance of about one-third of a mile. This branch is constructed with a tunnel for nearly the whole of the distance, and running under the surface of the raid in Maiden-lane. In the construction of this branch two ray important works occur ; the one is, adopting means to carry the main Fleet sewer ; and the other, in the formation of a groin, where the lilies will diverge four differed ways, leading into the main line, and all radiating from one metre. For the purpose of carrying the Fleet sewer in its original comae, it was necessary to construct it im mediately over the tunnel of the railway. This bee been done by using massive iron tubes running through the crown of the arch. To execute this was a work requiring great caution and skill, particularly as the floods at that time were very high and rapid, which made the operation more dangerous and difficult ; but the whole of these &a cuities were successfully overcome, and this interesting ;Mice of work is now in a state of completion. That poetics of the work which is now in active progress is the Com mencement of the main line near King's-cross. In the execution of the work of this portion of the line ruining towards Euston-square tunneling will be adopted, which mode of operation will be much lea annoying to the in habitat end the public in general than opening the whole of the ground to the width and depth required in the Euston road. To accomplish this, Mr. Jay has formed four shafts, each pair of shaft being worked with a powerful steam.-engine, which ere intended to work night and day (Sunday excepted) until the completion of the works. The whole of the excavated earth la immediately thrown into waggons running on the mils of the completed branch line, and taken along the Great Northern Railway by a locomotive engine, and deposited oa the side of the embank ment betwees Hanney and Wood-greca. Extensive exca vations are also being made within the enclosure opposite the south front of the Great Northern Railway Station ; at this point it is neareary to he a pest width, it being the junction of the branch WHO sad the main line, the latter being of sufficient width for the mixed gasp of rails, which embraces bath the timed and narrow pupa Fee the purpose of immediately proceeding with that portion ci the maul line running towards Victoria-street, workmen ere actively engagedin pulling down and removing the materials forming the block of homes facing Pentonville and °mils ion reads. Important alterations are necessary to be made in the main sewerage in the immediate vicinity et these works, a great portion of whi c h i s now d one, and the rest is active operation. The Great Northern Railway Company having obtinied an act for the construction o f a branch line running en the west side of their station, and joining the Metropolitan line at King's-cross, active measures are in progress in setting out the works, in order that this portion of tle• work shall be completed simultaneously with the works before tuestiorned. In the portion of the line which will coneist of a tunnel there will be recesses, 10 yards apart, for workmen and others engaged on the line to retreat to as trains min. In the branches there will be single lines, but the main line will consist of three mete of rails, so as to allow of the bread gauge to connect with the Great Wes tern, and the narrow page to connect with the Great Northern. There is a (moral opinion abroad that the Fins will be wholly underground, which, however, is an error likely, if left uncorrected, to prejudice the enterprise. From King . s.crose to the City the line will be subterranean only where it mem under roads or important buildings which cannot be removed. Elsewhere, it will be open to the day li4ht and the fresh air, and will be simply a cutting, and a..t a As before remarked, the works are being rn:Alled n with extraordinary vigour, and in less than twelve months the line will be complete as far as Ruston-square, and, in t ether direction, with the City. The chief weight of ti,- enterprise has fallen on Mr. Jay, LONDON AND Noma WIRTIMN RATLWAT.—We are officially informed that the directory' of the London sad North *astern Company have resolved to recommend to their pr rprieten at the meeting to be held no the 17th inst., dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half year ending 30th June Let, carrying forward • balance of 12,78 N. , DUBLIN AND MIATH RAILWAY. —The fourth or dinary general meeting of thin company was appointed to be held yesterday, at 30, Great Winchesteretreet, City, but there not being et the time appointed a sufficient number of shareholdes in attendance to form a quorum, the bun nesi W.ll postponed See die.

FRIDAY • EVENING; AEGIENE lit 1880. • act of parliament. From the year 1825 up to ihe pre sent time Stockport has been supplied with water taken from the river Mersey, sad it been taken mainly from a piece called Nadd's-pools, through tunnels. In 1825, when Stockport began to be supplied with water from the Mersey, it was a ecenparatively pure stream, and was remertablvoad for trout and salmon fi shing, which is a sign of L water being pure. It was not, how. ever, in 18515, absolutely pure—but was at that time com paratively pure--era at that time there were some calico printing works on its banks, and some of them were there earlier than the present century ; but at that time the process of printing calico was very different to that in use at the present time. The refuse of print works, under the old process, were mere of an agricultural kind than at pre sent, so that the water was quite available for the purpose of supplying Stockport • at all events, it was not so muddy that the impurity could not be got rid of by fi ltration. Since 1895 up to the present time, • period of 35 years, it has been from that river that the main supply of enter was taken, and the water was very much liked by the in habitants of Steckport. Of late years the directors had bad reason to complain of the serious pollution of the stream. Their attention was first called to the matter within the last three years, sad it is about three years since the works el Messrs. Turner were erected. From the time their atten tion was first called to the river, it was oh. served that • sort of slime rose to the surface of the water in the reservoir, and complaints were often made to the company by their customers that the water was not so good as it had been ; that it was not clear, and became perturbed, and in hot weather it became putrefied much sooner. It was also found that the pipes and reser voirs became fouler, and required cleaning oftener. In the year 1858 the company sent Mr. Mather, their secretary, up the dream to discover, if he could, what was the cause of the change in the water, He proceeded up the stream about • mile awl three quarters until he got to the works of the defendants, the stream being turpld all the way, and presenting an appearance very much like blood. The stream te • rapid one, and there can be no doubt that any matter thrown into the river by the defendants would find its way downwards. When he went above the works, be found that the water was comparatively clear and fit for drinking. mil being the state of matters, the directors thought it necessary to make some further •inquiries into the came of the discoloration, and y professor (advert, of Maschoster, came and took sampler in order to analy le them. This was done. Samples of mud and water were both taken out of the river, and on examination were found to contain arsenic in considerable quantities. The directors were very much astonished on learning this fact, as they never dreamt that any one would think of puttingaresaic into the river, the waters of which were to be drunk by the inhabitants of Stock port The next thing they set about was to ascertain whether the arsenic had come down to their works. They got some of the mud from their reservoirs above the Stockport Water works, and had it analysed, and it also contained ar senic. The directors gave notice to the defendants that they must not continue to pollute the water, but no notice has been taken of it, and consequently it be came absolutely necessary to take proceedings. For some time, however, there wan no arsenic found in the water supplied to the customers, as it had taken a solid form in the reservoirs ; but they had serious misgivings as to dispensing water amongst their customers which might, any day, contain • considerable quantity of arsenic if, by any chance, sulphuric acid should come in. Under all the cir cumstances, the directors th ou it necessary to get the best possible scientific him on the subject, and accordingly Professor Mayfair, Edinburgh, was applied to, and he, after examining some of the samples of mud and water, found arsenic. &unpin of water were taken from the top of the George Inn, Stockport, as supplied from these waterworks. One or two samples were taken and analysed by Professor Mayfair, and Dr. Miller, of Leaden, and these gentlemen found arsenic in it, as well as in samples of the mud taken from the river. There had been no sickness, or symptoms of poisoning exhibited in the town, but the directors thought it better to bring their action before than after. Experiments were going on from time to time in order to be sure, but the people in Messrs. Turner's employ dill not like to see them going to take samples so frequently, and on one occasion they broke out upot them, smashed their bottles, and ducked one of them in the water. Under these circumstances, the direc tors applied to the Court of Chancery for an injunction to restrain Messrs. Turner from so polluting the river ; and beset, the present action, with a view to get nominal damages, so as to. restrain them. Of late the condition of the water had improved, because Messrs. Turner had been more careful, but what was wanted was to get some secu rity that they would not injure the water again. Evidence having been given in support of the plaintiffs' case, as above et.ited, Mr. Groves raised some technical objections as to the plaintiffs right whereupon to found the present action. The plaintiffs claimed a right under the grant from Sir Edward Warren, but that grant was limited to • company of certain C : h w e_rig er ' s 'h w t hoficthhewerleedVirs to li t m h it r ed ri f.t t'l / 2 Ho wate w r ar b trL y a teener over oegain land, and to the use of Strine tunnel. The grant, however, did not empower the plain tiffs to supply the town of Stockport with water, much less with any particular kind of water; and the other privileges it conferred the defendants did not seek to disturb. Then did the plaintiffs rely upon the act of parliament? That gave them power to raw water from certain spring', and to divert water from the river below New Bridge. They are taking the water above New Bridge, therefore they could not rely on the act Subse quently they got a conveyance from Mareland, but that was limited to powere with certain exceptions, so that they were not acting according to that conveyance. Ilan, had they shown • title by user? Not at all, for the user had varied considerably. The learned Judge said there might be • doubt whether the right was correctly laid by the plaintiffs to draw water to supply the town of Stockport, but there could be no doubt, if they bad the right to divert the water, they had the right to nee it as they pleased ; and with rapid to those above them, they had the right to have the water Wl polluted. AL lordship overruled the learned counsel's objections, with power to move, and the court have power of amendment If they should think fit to exercise it. Mr. Groves then addressed the jury for the defence, own tending that no injure had been done to the plaintiffs byany action of the defendants. lie further argued that the plaintiffs had no right to demand the water pure, and that they took the water from the river not by legal right, the act having been obtained to raise water for the supply of the town from springs. Evidence was then adduced on behalf of the defence, and the ease was proceeding when our panel was despatch ed. The juiir•tarned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 22/. 15e. WESTERN CIRCIIIT.—Wium, Aro. 9. Wore Mr. Baron Mamell.) • NODW JACK lINKPPARD. A well-built rather good.lookiag young man, named Hairy Waters, was indicted for stealing from the person of Emanuel Braun, an sugino-driver, a silver watch, at Wells, on the night of the 18th or morning of the 19th of May, 1860. This prisoner, who was brought before • jury of his country heavily ironed, was an escaped convict, he haying escaped from Dartmoor prison, whilst undergoing a *eatence of six yews' penal servitude for burglary, one year of which was unexpired. In May last he committed the above robbery, and whilst under committal at Wells prison, be contrived to make his escape, which wu effected b the must daring and in genious means. He eluded the vigilanro of the police authorities till he amvoil in London, when' he was cap tured by a City detective named Foul ger, who at once con veyed him to Millbank, from whence be was removed by habeas. Mr. Caralake prosecuted ; the prisoner defended himself, and emes-exanuned each witness with great cleverness and tact. The facts of the cue as detailed in evidence were as fol lows :—The _prosecutor, Emanuel Braun, with several of his "mates " and the prisoner were drinking together at lithe City Arms Inn, Wells, on the evening of the 18th. They left about 12 o'clock, accompanied by the prisoner, and proceeded to the house of one of the Whilst named Jones, which house wcs down a pangs. they wen in this passage the prose cutor felt some one tugging at his watch, which was in the left-ekle pocket of his waistcoat. At the woe time the prisoner ran out of the passage. Proaccut..r immediately called out "Stop !Um ; be has stolen my watch," and Jour. started off in pursuit, and having caught him, the prisoner iitiuggleil violently and succeeded in throwing him down. Prosecutor came to his assistance, when the watch was dis covered lying near the prisons?. feet. Prisoner made a very clever speech to the jury, contend ing that no proof whatever existed that the watch had been in his pouctiion, or that it hall ever left the possession of the prosecutor. The jury found him Guilty; and a former conviction for Mary having been proved against him, he was senten ce d years' penal servitude. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—CHLwrza, Aun. 9. Niel Puns COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) RTOCRPORT WATKRWOMI CO/STAVY V. TURNIII. —SPECIAL JOST CAM This was an action brought, by the Stockport Waterworks Company against Mews. Turner, the owners and occupiers of certain print works on a .t eam which is one of the tributaries of the Mersey, to prevent them from polluting that stream by poisonous fluids - being discharged into it from their works. The use was opened yesterday, and occupied the whole of the day. Mr. Collier, Q.C., Mr. Colon, and Mr. Wintyre were counsel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Welsby, Mr. Groves, and Mr. H. Lloyd were the counsel for the defendants. Mr. Oozes opined the pleadings, and Mr. Collier stated the ease for the plaintiffs. It appeared that the de fendants' print works were built on a stream above the river Merse►, from which the town of Stockport is imp plied with water; and the defendants, by their works, have rendered noxious these waters by their proems of oe their manufacturing. There are several print works this kind on the Mlle river, and of these Mews. Turner's are highest up the stream. The Stockport Waterworks Company u an incorporated company, which, in the year 1853, purchased all the waterworks and the nght to use the water, w►ich at that time was held by Messrs. Man iacal, who had held it from 1816, ander the Provisions of aa MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the AosistuttJudge.) George Neiman, 49, described as a horse dealer, was in dicted for fraudulently obtaining by false pretences, from Hugh Want Saunders • cheque for the payment of Kg., with intent to cheat and defraud him thereof. The awe which was a rather protracted one, may be eery shortly st ated. The prisoner, it appeared from the evi dence' was mixed up with a regular gang of persons who lived by cheating and swindling the public by means of ad vertising horses for sale as warranted in every respect, but which were utterly worthless except for Atcheler's yerd. The prosecutor in this case wee • gentleman residing at Charlton, in Kent and on the 'kith of June last he went lb some stables, le, Baker's-mews, Portman-square, in cones queuce of an advertisement, of which the following is a oopy A first-clue riding or driving gelding, lb hands 2 inches, very handsome, a bay with black points, possessing breed ing action, and substance ; carries a lady, capital temper, and easy of management. Property of a gentleman. A warranty end a reasonable time given for approval. Sta bles, le, Baker ' s -mews, Portman-square." de found the prisoner there in livery undresii, and on inquiring about the hone he was informed that it was Mr. Cook's, a gentleman of fortune, whose eon had had it, but be had joined a rigiment of carbineen that had gone out to India. The price asked for the horse was 50 guineas. The prosecutor agreed to give as manynds, and the prisoner gave him a warranty (produced). pou The prosecutor then pee him a cheque for bW., payable to " William Cook, Fag.," and took the horse away. He Lad it examined. It turned out perfectly unsound, worthless for the purpose he required it for, and unable to work, and it was returned. The prisoner had given the address of eeWm. Cook, Esq., " as 5, Hanover-cottages, Regent's-park, where it seemed a Mr. Cook was known, but he had not been seen there since the Derby-day, or about that time, and the prisoner could not be found. The prosecutor gave the cheque fully believing the prisoner ' s statements to be true. While the bargaining was going on the prisoner said Mr. Cook had a arm of 200 acres a abort way from London, produced a written authority to sell the horse, and said he was Mr. Cook's bailiff. A person culling himself Cook did, in May, l!pPlYi in answer to an advertisement, about taking a house, No. 5, Hanover-cottages, and be . promised to take it in throe weeks, and received permission to have letters sent there as his future residence. The case was placed in the bands of Police-sergeant Edward White, 16 D, who knew both the prisoner and " Wm. Cook, F.sq.," as companions iu horse-chaunting transactions,. and on the sth of July he succeeded in finding the prisoner somewhere near Mon tweequare. They were also in the habit of using one public-house. The prisoner's answer to the charge was that be had merely sold the horse on the authority of Mr. Cook, between whom and himself there existed the relationship of master and servant only. The cheque was cashed directly after it was given. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Andstant-Judge said it was important for the pri soner that there was no former conviction laid against him. but it was quite clear that lie was one of a class of persona who carried on a systematic course of plunder upon the public by means of mock advertieementa for the sale of horses, which they would warrant sound though utterly worthless. The prosecutor was entitled to the thanks of the community for the way in which he had acted when be discovered the fraud which had been practised upon him, the result of which was that one of the principal agents of • dangerous confederacy had been brought to justice. He doubted whether be ought not to pass • sentence of penal servitude ; but, as • warning to the others, he must pass a severe seutence of imprisonment and bard labour—eighteen calendar months. (Before Mr. Payne.) A young woman, named Smith, who WM convicted in F•bruar7 last of larceny u a 'tenant, nod sentenced to ma inonthe.lurd labour, applied to Um learned judp under these circumstances. She stated that when she was taken into custody the left at hat master's • box containing all she possessed, except the clothes she was wearing, and some wages were due to her. On being discharged she applied to her master, Mr. Adams, a publican, in Air•street, Picca dilly, for the restitution of her box and the payment of her wages ; but she was told that the wages would not be paid unless she sued for them and the law compelled the pay ment, and, as to the box, she found that her muter hail, on her conviction, given it up to the polioe, who delivered it to the High Bailiff in the usual way as prisoners' for feited property, and sold in a fortnight after she was in prison under her sentence. She had, therefore, now nothing in the world except what she stood up in ; and what could she do? She had no means of getting another situation. The learned Judge said be was afraid he could not help her in the matter, but he thought her master had no right to give up her box under the oireamstanoes to the police, in order that it might be sold by the High Bailiff. It was • very hard proceeding. In a case of • barony in • dwelling-house, which was committed by the prisoner while she sent a little girl out to bay • pennyworth of crinoline cane, the learned Judge re marked, on the crinoline being pro duced, that he certainly had never seen any crinoline before, but he, like everybody Glee, had often experienced the inconvenience it occasioned. JoAn Border, 68, sad Charles Border, 28, drovers, father and son, were indicted for • fined committed under circum stances exhibiting a great deal of cunning and ingenuity. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Beat were counsel for the praseca- tine ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. M'lbanell. The younger prisoner went into a public-house kept by the prosecutor, Mr. W. V. Townsend , at Hounslow, and called for some beer. He was joined soon afterwards by his father, who pretended not to know him, and they got Into a eent;emation about a Wee, which one wanted to purchase of the other. It was outside the house in a cart, which bad the name of " Benjamin Yelling, Godabning, Surrey," upon it. The old man pretended that ha had been in great distress, and begged that the other would buy the horse, as he had the bailiffs in the house. It was agreed that it should be sold for 16f., and a warranty was made out, and I Charles asked the other his name, and asked the landlady to write it, as be could not. Charles then put down fourteen somethings, which were 'supposed to be sovereigns, but John said he could not trust • Ringer, and must have the other two. Charles then asked the landlady to trust him with two pounds until the next day, and he would leave the horse in her stable the while. Believing It to be a genuine transaction she lent the 21., and the horse was taken out of the cart. It then occurred to the old one, that he had to take the cart somewhere a mile or en off, where he had sold it, and be was too weak and feeble to drag it himself, so they borrowed the horse to take the cart home, saying it would be all right, and would be returned in half an hour. It is needle., to say it was not. The pri soners throughout pretended never to have wen each other before, and the son addressed bis father as "sir" while dealing for the bone. By this artfully-contrived trick they cheated the landlady of 2f. The jury found both Guilty, and it seemed that they had been before engaged in hone-dealing matters of a very questionable character. Mr. Payee sentenced each of them to eighteen months' bard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. bLtNSION•HOUSE. Mr. Daniel de la Men:4 aqueley, a physician, haring a residence at Wilton-house, Regenes-park, and also in Edinburgh, was brought up on remand on a charge that being a trustee of the sum of 2,4901. 4s. M. for the benefit of Henry Wadham and Elisabeth his wife, he did, with intent to defraud them, unless f ully convert and appropriate the same to and for his own use and purposes, contrary to the statute. _ _ _ _ _ Sergeant Hugget (detective officer), who arrested the prisoner in Edinburgh on Wednesday week on a warrant, WWI called by Mr. Cooper, banister, who appeared for the presecution, and produce d, among other papers belonging to the prisoner, of which be took possession, a par-book of the Bank of England (Western branch) at which the prisoner kept an account, and also a crossed cheque of the National Assurance and Investment Aaseciation, dated the 20th of July of this year, on Massa. Ransoms and Co., of Pall-mall, for 1,2001. He also found the following letter upon the prisoner, addressed " John Bryan, Eaq., Ltacre street, Westminster," and in the same envelops with it the cheque for 1,2001. : " University of Edinburgh, August, 1880. " My dear had some reason for withdrawing the amount of the enclosed cheque, which I shall be much obliged to you to have the gooduees to send to your bankers, and obtain cash for it, and retain it there till I tend for your cheque for it, which shall be in • few days, or request von to have the goodness to pay it into my bankers. should you require a hundred or two of it, don't hesitate to use am, my dear air, you rs very truly, " I). D. GOURLEY.' That cheque and the letter were both in one envelope. Crass-examined by Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the prisoner—He received the warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner on Monday week, and started for Edinburgh that night to execute it. He went alone. Mr. Hanrott, clerk to the solicitor for the prosecution, who gave him in structions and supplied him with funds, joined him in Edin burgh on the Wednesday morning. Mr. Hanrott was ac companied by a gentleman whom witness had heard called Mr. Lewis. He did not know that Mr. Lewis had been acting es an attorney for the prisoner, but understood that he had some business transactions with him at one time. He thought that was said by Mr. Lewis himself. He ap prehended the prisoner between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of Wednesday week at the Turf Hotel. Edinburgh, and left Edinburgh with him the next day for London. Lewis and Hanrott were in com munication with the prisoner from the time of his appre hension until he left Ediuburgh, but not together. The prisoner had called Lewis his friend, and at witness's sug gestion Mr. Lewis walked with them to the station, as did also Mr. Hanrott and an Edinburgh police-officer. Before leaving the Turf Hotel on Wednesday morning Mr. Lewis expressed • wish to see the prisoner alone, and they had an interview together, witness leaving the room while it lasted. At its close the prisoner told witness that Mr. Lewis had told him that if he would give up the 1,200/. voluntarily there would be no further proceedings againet I him. Mr. i.ewis was not present when Dr. Gourley said that. Witness replied, whatever Mr. Lewis might my about proceedings would have no weight with him as en officer holding • warrant for his apprehension, and be wee bound to take him to London. The prisoner added that when Mr. Lewis made that proposition to him lie (the prisoner) told him he was • public man, and if he attempted to make a compromise of the matter his character would be at stake, as he was known at the University and other places. Mr. J. D. Farrell, • clerk in the Western Branch of the Bank of England, in Burlington-gardens, identified the pan-book found among the prisoner's papers, and proved that on the Bth of March last 1,4091. 10s. 4d. was paid in to his credit by a cheque of Messrs. Simpson and Cook. Mr. Cooper said he could not carry that part of the case farther at present, but if a remand e ere granted he would do so on • future day. The learned counsel was proceeding to open • second case against the prisoner of appropriating to his own use 800 f., part of the testator's estate, in the shape of • mortgage which was called in in August, 1860 when Mr. Humphreys put him on the proof of the Atte:rosy-Geneve' fiat, sanctioning his going into another case, and the document not being in court the charge was postponed ; Mr. Cooper intimating that when the prisoner was next brought up he should be prepared not only to go Into the ease of the 8001., , but also into another charge with respect to 6301. Mr. Humphreys said he should also be prepared then to wove that Mrs. Wadham, at whose instance the proeecu tion was instituted, had been paid by the defendant • suns of money in settlement of any claim she had under the will. The prisoner was then remanded until Friday next. STATE OF CRIME IN LANCASHIRE.—At the opening of the Liverpool Anises yesterday, during his charge to the grand jury, Mr. Baron Martin said that during his whole judicial experience be had never seen so heavy a calendar. Excepting treason, it embraced all the crimes which were dealt with in courts of justice. There were seven cases of murder, some of them of an atrocious description ; eleven of manslaughter, several of these being on the very verge of murder ; and seventeen of burglary. In fact, notwithstanding the example made in the county some few years ago, the crime of burglary had so increased that it would be necessary to put in force the full power and severity of the law to repress it. Alluding to the recent railway collision at Roby, and to the indictment of Platt. the engine -driver, for manslaughter, the learned judge said that, after a careful perusal of the depositions, he was of opinion that Platt did all he really could to prevent the accident, and that the jury therefore would throw out the bill. SMOKING IN RAILWAY CARRIAGEs.—ACTION FOR Asamn.r.—At the Liverpool assizes, yesterday, Mr. Collinge, an agent and accountant of Manchester, brought an action against a cotton spinner named Mavis (residing at Hebden bridge), to recover damages for en assault committed in a railway carriage on the 13th June last. Mr. Collinge was travelling (by Lancashire and Yorkshire) from Manchester to Northampton. He was in a second class carnage, and as far as Eastwood was alone. There Morrie got in, and on entering called the guard to give him a light to his cigar. Mr. Collings objected to smoking, as he was very unwell, and threatened to report the guard. Morris then struck Cloning° several blows with the bat, injuring him consider ably, and causing an attack of palpitation of the heart. The defence was that the assault was not so serious as described. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages, IN. DIUMINEEE or THE MERSEY.—The engineer of the Mersey Dock Board was yesterday (Thursday) authorised to furnish to the Secretary of War a plan and section of the wharf wall, which has been built at the Bootle land marks, and upon which it is intended to construct a battery.

Staplers are generally firm in resisting a decline, and spinner, buy nothing but for immediate consumption. As we have stated in previous re ports, where Pales most be made, prices continue slightly in favour of the buyer. The demand for broke* is more active than for nods. In worsted yarns spinners continue well en- gaged to order for export, on contracts made some weeks ago, but we do not hear of many new orders going out. The home trade is not so animated u usual at this period of the year. In prices, manufacturers are unable to realise on their goods the greatly enhanced out of the raw material, and merchant. although light in stock, buy only for immediate wants, and can, in most instances, supply themselves out of stock. There are many looms standing in the district.
