Lions. Bred's* examined by Serjeant Wilkins-1 am the proprietor of the Hotel Truest', at Havre. In 1646 the Blirguise Agusdo aril her two was, their physician and suite, were staving at my hotel. The Marquise occupied rooms 33 and 3.5, her two sons and the doctor eccupied 37. 39, and 49. A register of the persons via tin the hotel is kept. Tbat is the book. I only know these facts from the books. Toe clerk keeps the bwks. This book always remened in the clerk's office, and be gives me an aeooent every evening of the departures which are to take place. Prince Paul of Wurtemborgh occupied 122. Tho Aguado's occupied the aims rooms a+ they had previously after Pr nee Paul left. 1 am sure none of the Aguado family occupied 122. There is a large sails de bah at the thee's". Every evening the peisons staying at the hotel nest in that room to dance. It Is closed at midni.eht. The witness Demsussu was concierge in 1816. It was a [part of bar duty to collect the shoes fur classing, but not to put out the lights. It is tho duty of the concierge man or woman, to enter the rooms to collect the baggage. The clothes which are to be brushed are generally put out side the door. Hy room is only • few paces from the bridge. Serjeast Wilkins—The bridge where the woman said the fel: aallep, my lord. Eseneurath u continued—l never observed any improper time iarity between Mrs. hope and the Count Aguado. I dor.% remember a femme de ehambre named Clarissa Stu trenil—there might have been one of that name. The Agusdo family came to the hotel again in July or August , Ib3o. The Marquis* then again' occupied 33 sad '35. The Count Agusdo occupied, according:to my recollection, 102 and 104. These rooms oommuoicate, and were occupied by the two brothers. :The Coast set up an %p -restos for dagnerreotyping in the ante-chamber of 102. Madame Hope arrived in July or August. She wrote to engage her apartments some dais before. The bathing or tablithment is under my directi u. The regulations ote served are very strict. In 1852 the Marquise occupied the game apartments. In that year the Count took apartments, 117, 119, and 121 oa the second floe. I think the two brothers slept in the isms room. Madame Hops occupied lu) on the second fine. When first she came she wee placed in 5,7, and 9on the ground floor. Having heard • person had cied in that apartment a fortnight before, the asked for another apartment. Croes•examined by Sir F. ibesiger—l derive my personal knowledge of the occupation of these apartments from my memory and my books. I don't know except from the re gister and the verbal account given me by the person who menages the hotel, who oceuried the rams. The Aguado family arrived the day or the day before that on which Prince Peel of Wurtembnrgh wint away. They remained abort a month. The C ,rent Agusdo has bees at my hense sines)Cheistmes--te canto to take those plans (photographic views if the Hotel 'Frascati), and stayed about three hours. I then looked over the registry ! I swear positively that the family Oberao occupiiel 122, after Prince Peal went away. I state this of my own knowledge. The prints oc cupied 122, 124,126, and 128, and the salon 130. Demtheau is still living at Havre. Re-examined by Serjeant Wilkins—l last saw Damtheau last season. Mr. Hart has done me the honour to pay me a visit. (Laughter.) He came to my hotel at Havre yester day week. Viseonste Aguado examined by the Attorney-Oenersl—l am the brother of the Count Aguado. I remember in 1846 going with my mother and brother to Trascati's Hotel, Beare. Ido not recollect the numbers of the rooms we oc cupied, but I recollect their situation. My brattier occupied no room in the same part of the bore' and near that of Mdme. Hope. In 18501 was again at Havre with my mother andlbro thee. I occupied 104 and my brother 102. Mdme. Hope occu pied the same apartment. as in 1846. She never came into the room (194) at night. My room (104) opened into my brother's room (102) The door between the two rooms was always left open. Madame Hope never at any time at night passed through my room into my brother's. I knew her to be in my brother's room. In 18.52 we occu pied rooms on the second floor. I think Madame Hope et c:pied rooms on the woad fiber. My brother and I occu pied one room with two beds. From 1846 to 1852 I was in constant intercourse with my brother. I never knew of my brother occupying apartments in the Rue Monceau. It was not my brother, but I, who a:espied apartments in the Roe Labordere, Bois de Boti tne. I was in the habit of meeting a lady there. My heather never went there, for I n told him I had those apartments. My mother lives in the Place Vendome, at Peril. My brother the Count and I lived there with her My elder brother, the marquis, is married, and has a !doily. Ile did not live in the Place Vendome. His chil dren very often came to see my mother. All the children of Mn. Hope used to come there, and Mr. Hope himself. Cross examined by Sir F. Thesiger—ln 1846, at Havre, we went very often to Madame Hope's, and she was very often with us. In 1846 my brother occupied a room between mine and Dr. Dauvaio. I don't remember Madame Andrier being at Trascati's in 1850. I swear she did not come with me. I will not answer any more questions of that kind. My brother used to go to the salon of Madame Hope wi th out me, and I without him. I took the house in the Rue De bordere in 1810. Sir F. Thesiger—Used you go there accompanied by any one? Witness—Sometimes. Sir F. Thesiger—Was that person a female ? Witness—That is my affair. (Laughter.) The Attorney-General—l think you may assume it was, from the answer. Sir F. Thes4er—Well, when you went them with what you call " your affair " (laughter), how did you go ? Witner—ln my own carriage. Sir F. Thesiger—Do you remember Tallandie, who drove your brother's brougham ? Witness—He was a groom, like all other,. Sir F. Thesiger —Do you remember Tallandie driving your brother to the Rue Debordere ? Witness—No, my brother never was . Sir F. Thesiger—Has M. Bredart been to the your brother in Paris ? Witness—Yes, be .came to see him last week, at his house in the Place Vendome. Sir F. Thesiger—What was your number in the Rue Deborders ? Witness—Twenty. The Attorney-General—Who had the key of that house ? Witness—l bad one, the concierge had the other. Desiree Quoiante Borst examined by Mr. Wise—l live at Havre. I was engaged at the both!) as baignetue in 18.50. I knew Madame Hope. I have seen her bothe. She used to go into the water with the boigneur ; there are four attached to the establishment. She could not •wint. I was there all the season of 1850. I know the Count Agusdo I never saw him bathing with Madame Hope ; that could not be. I never heard they had been seen bathing to gether. Cross examined by Sir F. Thesiger—M. Aguado and two other gentlemen mime and took my declaration last week. lam employed by M Bredart, but it is the persons on whom I wait who pay me. Madame Hope was very timid in the water. She never bathed alone. By the Attorney-General—There were other ladies bathed alone. _ Cassimer Havant, examined by Serjeabt Wilkins—l ma a physician. I reside in Puis. I have been family phy sician to the Aguado family slum 1838. I was with the family at Havre in 1846. I think it was in August. The Count Aguado's room in the hotel adjoined mine, the Vicomte's room was adjoining his brother'. (The witness pointed out on the plan rooms 37, 39, and 41 as those oeenpied by them.) I saw any improper familiarity between the Count and Madame Hope. In 1848 I went to Italy with the Mar quise, the Count, and the Marquis, his elder brother. TM. Is my passport for that voyage. We started from Paris on the 31st of July or let of August, 1848. We remained eight or nine days at Berri, and then went to Marseilles, where we rent - tined three days. We went then to Florence. My pissport from Florence i. via 19th Ootober. We then went to Paris, where the family 'outlined till early in November. While the Count was in Italy I did not leave him a vie& day. The Count suffered from neuralgia in hie face; it is • family complaint. The Count's elder brother is too ill to be here to•day. This is the passport of the Mutinies the Count's mother. Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—l got my passport Is Paris. I same first to England. The passport is tnie at Boulogne 6th of May, 1818, and in July I was into doted 10 Mulatto Hope by the Aimed° family. Madame Hope's little boy was ill, and she asked me to attend. I afterwards al1:040113 the family physician, and Mr. Hope gave me a aged salary. I know I went from England to Boulogne twice in 1848 before the month of August. I was the per tain who was brought in here to he shown to the witneu Ann Eons as Dr. Devalue. In 1848 I left the Aguado family in Paris. at•-eramined—When I came to England in 1848 I ac companied the Count when he came t, take apartments for his mother at Folkestone. Loliot examined by Mr. Wise—l am a courier. I made the journey with the Aguado family from Paris to Florence in 1818 and back again. The Count Agnado was there. He had his carriage with him. It was embarked at Marseilles. This document is the permit bit the embarka tion ef the carriage at Marseilles. (The document was dated We 71.13 of Anglin!, 1848.] We went from Marseilles by ma to be:thorn. We returned to Paris on the first dey of November. Hyppolyte have been in the service of the Count Aguado 22 wears. I was with him at Havre in 1848. The Marquise, hi ;weber, and his brother were there. I remember M IL Ho being there. Mrs. !lope'. and the Count's rooms wor.4on the opposite side of the hotel. I went' with the Coital to Italy is 1848. That was at the end of July.

I's was after the election of the Pre sideut. We romeieed at Paris. I was with the family again at PAWS iu 1950 and 1832. I never witnessed any in.iprapite familiarities between my mister and Madame ' Re. In the year o reatl ace - ie& the Count to London. f the G P each So did his .nan, Charles mean Cal -1 lie. We stayed at the Bruns wick Hotel. A friend of his stayed there with him, but went away before us. We went away in June. I went away with the Count, Charles Collin, aid the Count de: Morey, whom we met at the railway. We went to the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. We remain`` there three or four days on account of the sea beteg very rough. The Count, while there, had neuralgia in his Lead. I slept in the room of the Costa Aguado each night while we remained at Folkestone. Every time the Count has neuralgia, lam obliged to remain with him ; he suffers much. I lay down upon the bed and sometimes in a chair. I have no knowledge that on any occasion Madame Hope went into the Count's room, or that the Count went into her room. I have never seen the count in her bedroom, or her in his bedroom. I re member the morning they left Folkestone. Ire member the porter calling the count. I was at that time in the count's bedroom. I packed the boxes, and informed the count the sea wit smooth, and we went awe/. Charles Collin occu pied a room iu an upper story. I had also a roam opposite that. I did not sleep there. I only used it for our boxes and luggage. I never saw the door between the two rooms open. I suppose Mrs. Hope's lady's maid packed her boxes. I assisted with Collin en removing them. I went into her room by the door on the corridor. Cross examined by Sit F. Thes'ger—l have not seen the passport since 1919, when I took a new one. I was at Folkestone with my master in 1849. I remember being there in 1848, when my master passed a good deal of his time at Mrs. Kitchener's. I never took his clothes there for him to dress for dinner. He always dressed at the Pavilion. I do not know Mrs. Kitchener, se her house. I don't recollect Young coming to Boulogne. I don't remember being at the Marine Hotel, Boulogne, when Young came over. I will Young. I never saw Young at the Marine Hotel. I never `revelled with my master trout Boulogne to Dover. I did not see the chambermaid talking to my master when 1 mneemet to the Pavilion. I chose the chamber 58, and bad it dims to the count. It was light, se that I could see the 'heather. It was daylight. My master was suffering very ' much from neuralgivat the time. He was ill on leaving London. I dined at the Pavilion, and went to bed after dinner. I can't say the hour. I suppose the count dined. He went into the dining-room. Daring the nights I slept in my master's room I did not undress myself. His neuralgia lasted all the time we were there. The bed, an which I laid down occasionally, barredathe doors. Its position wit not altered from the time we went in up to the moment of departure. When I went into Madame Hope's room, to remove the luggage, I did not try to move the bed. I went by the corridor. On the 9th of June, when the porter called my master, I was in his room. The count did not go to look at the weather before he dressed ;he dressed himself immediately. The position of the bed was never moved while wo were there. The doors between the count's room and the adjoining nes were never opened. I knew the adjoining rood was Modems Hope's. I have made a declaration in this i matter. Sir F. Thrsiger—Did you not swear this—" Nor wit' the door which communicated between the chambers of the Count A.guado and Madame Hope ever open, to my know ledge, during the time we were at the said hotel; except that on the morning of our departure from the said hotel it was opened for rite to go in to assist the servant of Madame Hope :o finish the baggage, which I then did" ? Witness—l may have made that mistake. R t-examined by the Attorney. General—l have passed over between England and France with my master. I hare often been at the Pavilion Hotel. Sometimes the count, sometimes myself, but more frequently I, look out for the rooms. I have been at Dover several times in coming from France, but on those occasions I never Cline from Boulogne. The court then adjourned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-FEB. 13. atl/0 JUSTICE JJIVLS WITUNIII AT MLR FAWN IS MID A COMXOX JUAT. COLLINS O. CLARIL.-EtINNING -DOWN CASE. The plaintiff in this cue is a cab proprietor residing at Pimlico, and the defendant is in business in the Strand. The action was to recover 251. or lot., the value of a horse which had been killed in consequence of a collision be tween a cab of the plaintiff's and a cart belonging to the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Byles for the defendant. The accident happened about 11 o'clock in the morning of the 23rd October last. On that occasion the cats wee pawing in the direction from Chasing•crou to the Board of Trade, and the defendant's cart was being driven by a lad he opposite way. The vehicles came in collision, and the near shaft of the cart pierced the near shoulder of the cab horse, and so severely injured him that he bad to be killed. To establish the plaintiff's ease, witnesses were called to prove that the collision bad happened through the negli gence of the defendant's lad, and without any negligence on the part of the cabman. After several witnesses had bean examined, however, it appeared that the cart was on its right siJe, and that the cab was being driven across the road when the collision happened. His lordship suggested that upon this state of Gets the plaintiff's cue could not be sustained. A nonsuit was accordingly entered. The Chief Justice (addressing Mr. Serjeant Shoe) said he thought it right to state that hie client had been twice re ported for not having paid the fees of court. Mr. Serjeant Shee—lt is only just to him to say that he pays the fees of counsel. (A laugh.) The Chief Justice—lf such a thing occurred again, he should take the summary course of committing him. HARE'S AND OTHERS V. WILLIS.-COLLISION ON THE This was an action to recover demises for injuries done to the steamer Ella, in a collision with the steam tug Commo dore, on the 11th May last. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and that the matter had already been decided in his favour in some proceedings in the High Court of Admiralty. Mr. Serjeant Bybee end Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiffs; and Kr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Ildward for the defendant. The plaintiffs represented the Old Woolwich Steam Boat Company, and the defendant the Ship Owners' Towing Company. On the day in question the Elfin had taken a party of the directors of the Woolwich company to Sheer nen, and about fiat night she was passing the Dreadnought hospital ship, on her way back, and was about 100 yards from the Essex shore. The tug was seen ahead. coming stem on, and in consequence the captain of the Elfia had her engines reversed, and he sang out for the people on the tug to port their helm. This however was not done at all, or not in time, and the collision happened. The plaintiffs applied for redress, but they were answered by proceedings in the Admiralty Court, which resulted in a decision in favour of the now defendant. According to the plain tiffs' counsel, however, that was a meet unsatisfactory tri bunal for trying a case like this, inasmuch as all the evi dence was given by affidavits; and the judge, instead of seeing the witnesses, bad only to sit still and hear the affi davits, looking as wise as he could, with two elder brethren of the Trinity House, trying to look wiser still. (A laugh.) At all events, the now plaintiffs were not satisfied with the decision of the Admiralty Court, which was now the subject of an appeal, and they consequently brought the present action to rccover 391. for damages to the vessel, in oddities to a sum of money for having lost the use of her whilst being repaired. After seven or eight witnesses had been examined for the plaintiffs, it was agreed that further litigation should be prevented, and this action stayed upon the terms of each party paying his own costs. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-FEB. 13. SITTINGS At :fist vaire, AT LORD CHlit BARON ADD COXXON 2011113. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14. 1855. LAZARUS V. DOWAILD.-ASBAOLT AND FAME 130411- sONMENT. Kr. Edwin James and Mr. C. Pollock appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Atherton and Mr. Russell represented the defendant. . . . _ This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a cigar manufacturer, carrying on business at 9, Worship-street, Finsbury, to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, the landlord of the Admiral Kepptl, High street, Shoreditoh, for an assault and false impri,onment. It appeared that on the 11th of September last, the plain tiff, late at night, in company with a woman of the name of Stone, entered the defendant's house, and, during the time they were partaking of some refreshment in front of the bar, the defendant's daughter accused the plaintiff of an attempt to pick Mrs. Stone's pocket. He denied this charge, whereupon an angry altercation ensued, which re sulted in the defendant aesaultiog the plaintiff, who imme diately west for a policeman to give him in charge ; but the constable, not having witnessed the assault, declined to interfere. Subsequently, he went for another constable, who turned out to bas the constable usually on that " best," but he also refused to take the charge, whereupon the de fendant, addressing the plaintiff, said, " Now, as you have been so abusive and insolent, I will give you in obarße for attempting to pick Mrs. Stone'. pocket." The plaintiff was taken to the station-house, confined there all night, and on being brought before Mr. D'Hyncourt the neat morning, the defendant and his family had app ared to press the charge against him. He aria remanded and sent to the lions* of Detention, where he was confined for a week, so as to enable the police to in .tituto enquiries as to his cliaraeter. At the aspiration of that time he was dis charged, it having turned out that the account be gave of himself wa in every respect correct. Tho evidence adduced on the part of the defendant attempted to establish and justify hie having Riven the plaintiff into custody on a charge of felony, and was of a moat conflicting nature. The Lord Chief Baron in summing up said, the stories of the plaintiff and defendant were as different as they well could be. There were some molt remarkable contra. dictions, and it was entirel f or the jury to say, keeping in mind the probabilities 6f the case, to which side they would give credit. He could not help ob serving that it was greatly to be regretted that the plaintiff should have been detained for a week in custody for the purpose of enabling inquiries to be instituted as to kis cha racter, abode, and connezione, which inquiries hid in every way agreed with the statement made by the plaintiff himself. These inquiries might have been made in a muck shorter time, so as not to have deprived this young man of ' pis liberty for aa entire week. There ought to be some alteration in the law in this respect. The jury. after s brief deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaiattif—dsmagee, 201. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—FEE. 13. IsMac at. 001111118 , 10PIM MOLIPAVID. IN RE R. THOILSON. The bankrupt, a limeades/see, of St. John-street-toad, came up for his last examination. The accounts extend only from the 6th of April last, when the bankrupt being in a deficiency of 1871., made an assignment, and entered into a composition with his creditors to pay by instalments 156. in the pound. This he was unable to carry oat, and hence the bankruptcy. He now owes to creditors 1,94 , and gives up property estimated at 1,0001. (only 2001. rea lised), besides property of 7111. bed under the trust dead to snare the payment of the composition. His profits (since April, 1854), had been 3291.; expenses, 1961.; ditto of composition and bankruptcy. 791 ; 951. Mr. A. Turner fur the assignees, examined the bank rupt, as to the ' b ooks which he had kept. It appeared he had been engaged in what is called " the tally•trade," and had refused to "show up his rounds " wril he received a payment of 15i. a day, beyond his allowance under the bank ruptcy. Mr. Lawrence asked that thy bankrupt should pus, the accuracy of the accounts being unimpeached. Owing to his inability to carry out the composition, the old debts bad revived, and there was courequently v. larger amount now provable against the estate. The bankrupt was further questioned as to some entries in his daily-takings book, which purported to extend over several months, but which appeared to have been et made at the same time, and with the same pen. The bankrupt posi tively asserted that the entries were separately made on the deys on which they bore date. Mr. Edwards, the official assignee, said be had no objection to ma ke to the bankrupt's accounts. The bankrupt passed. IN RE SNOW. This was the certificate meeting in the case of J. T. Snow, butcher, of Pollen.street, Hanover-square. His debts are b 391. ; assets about 1501. Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, offered no opposition; and a second-clue certificate was granted. IN Ni I. N. EAILY, THE SCULPTOIi, This was the first meeting under the bankruptcy of Ed ward Hodges Billy, described as a sculptor end dealer in marble, of Newman-street, and of Camden Villas. Several creditors were in attendance, for the purpose of proving their debts. Mr. Duncan, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Chidley appeared for creditors. A statement of the assets and liabilities of the bankrupt has already appeared, which is as near as can be arrived at in the present state of the effairs. The preparation of the accounts has been confided to Mr. Watson, accountant. Mr. Edwards is the official assignee. • BLIOLS Ma. COMMIOPIONLIt rotate-Nate. IN RE recithana. The bankrupt wu • draper, of tioswell-street-road. His debts were between 5,0001. and 6,0001. Ho was abroad at the time when he ought to have surrendered, and was con sequently deprived of protection. Mr. Sturgeon, on behalf of the bankrupt, now applied to have his surrender taken, and protection granted, as a Maas of enabling him to file his accounts. Mr. Bagley, for the assignees, opposed the application. The bankrupt, who had carried on a large business in Doe wall-street-road, as deeper, had been made bankrupt in July, 18.52. Having absconded, the electric telegraph was pet in motion, and he was arrested at New Brighton, near Liverpool, having engaged a passage to Australia. A sum of money was found on Lis person, which was handed over to the assignees. Oa his being brought up in custody, his surrender was accepted, and protection was granted, in order to enable him to prepare his accounts. He had bad large dealings, through an auctioneer named Burton, and which had resulted in a consi derable loss. His examiaation was adjourned twice, but having failed in October, 1852, to tile any accounts, the court made a special order calling upon him to be examined. After a short time, •letter was received, stating that he bad gone abroad, but naming co place. About a year after this, Mr. Beale, a partner of one of his creditors, found the bankrupt in a very large way of business at Melbourne, returning about 1,0001. a week. He thereupon expressed great contrition, and proposed to give Mr. Beale 3001. for his London creditors, and to send a further sum of 2001. The offer was accepted, and the money was paid over to the assignees. The bankrupt's business transactions at Melbourne had been as little satisfactory or advantageous to his creditors in Australia as to those in England. He became bankrupt there Cm a large amount, had returned to England, and now sought to obtain the protection of the court. The creditors felt that, under such circumstances, he was not entitled to any protection. Mr. Sturgeon submitted that the sthements contained in the bankrupt's affidavit might warrant the court in now accepting his aurtender. The Commissioner—The affidavit is exceedingly vague, and appears to have been prepared purposely to blink the truth of the case. The bankrupt's only course, in the posi tion in which he has placed himself, is to endeavour to purge his offeuce by filing his accounts, and making a true and full disclosure of his estate and effects. There has so far been only a very tardy penance, and one not likely to be of use to his creditors. Mr. Sturgeon said the 3001. had been remitted by the bankrupt to his creditors without pressure. The Commissioner—lf this were true, a man has no right thus to pay his London creditors at the expense of the colonial creditors. He deliberately, and with premedita tion, absconded from his creditors before his bankruptcy. He afterwards kept bad faith with this court. Every fea ture of the case is against him. It is slid he Reeved at Melbourne with only a 51. note in' his pocket; but it is difficult to believe that a man with only 61. could have almost immediately obtained leases of large quaatities of land at a place like Melbourne. At that time land was realising an enormous price at Melbourne, and was only obtained with great difficulty. Mr. Sturgeon—The bankrupt cannot prepare his accounts in prison. Would your Honour grant protection for a limited period ? The Commissioner—No. In the first plain I have no power • and, secondly, I have uo inclination. The bank rupt dada an attempt to abscond in the first instance ; he did abound in the second. The law would become a perfect nullity if favour were granted in such a cue. Mr. Sturgeon.—Would your Honour sanction an allowance to the bankrupt out of the small sum found upon hie pencils in 1852 ? Mr. Bagley—That small sum was 190 sovereigns. His Honour refused the application altogether. Award ing to the statement furnished, there would not be more than 10d. in the pound for the creditors. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Fxs. 13. IMPOST MIL CONVUIIIIOXII2 MURKY. IN RE THOMAS DEANE. The insolvent was a dairyman, in Park-street, Grosvenor square. He aloud ss. in the pound to his creditors, which was refused, and in August last he disposed of his business for 1001. He paid about 601. for rent, and there was co thing for his creditors. It came out that the insolvent some time back told Lord Shaftesbury that he wu in difficulties, and hie lordship gave him a cheque for 2251, saying he would give him 101., and he should owe him 161. Sine's he had been in prison he had written to his lordship, and he had replied that he was not to consider him as a creditor. Mr. Commissioner Murphy said it was just what every one would expect from the benevolent nature of Lord Shaftesbury. Mr. Macrae opposed for a creditor named Biggs, and com plained that the insolvent had paid the rest to save the fur- niter., which belonged' to his creditors. His client was willing to accept the offer of ss. in the pound, but it had not been paid because all his creditors would not take it. Mr. Sargood submitted that the landlord had a right to his rent, and the insolvent was justified in paying it. The Court ordered the insolvent to bo discharged. The payment war in August, and the petition in January. IN RE TUOMAB MONKS. This insolvent, ;youniTr;n7wasoPicsaed by Mr. Pearce, 11 for Mr. Bastaple, a Bury stable-keeper in the Borough ; Mr. Sargood supported. The insolvent had 40 creditoes on the schedule, of which 19 were 'publicans for refresbnients and money borrowed. He owed the opposing creditor money for hire, damage to horses and chaise', and money lent. The insolvent, whose friends were said to be respectable at Blackheath, was de scribed as a " fast young gentleman." He admitted that he had been " fast," and promised to emend his conduct. The creditor said be heard ho had 3001. a year allowed him. The insolvent said he had lived on his friends, and they bad promised tie get him a situation. Mr. Vemmiuioner Murphy said the insolvent had been in prison since November, and might be discharged. lie did not mean to justify his conduct, but to him it seemed that parties should pause before they gave credit to a person in his condition—one who was reputed to have en allowance from his family, and was living in a fast manner. The insolvent was discharged, and warned not to make another appearance at the court. THE POLICE COUBTS. - MANSION-HOUSE. Wsl/Com Cannon was charged with having stolen a bag containing 51. in silver. Mr. Sharpe, gunpowder manufacturer, said, so I was walking along Eastclaap at a little after one o'clock on Monday, I missed a bag containing five pounds in silver, which I had just received awl deposited in my pocket. The prisoner was the neat person to me, and a gentleman pointed him out to me u the thief, and I forced . him into the us sage of a shop. Mr. J. Slane (of the Society of Friends) said, I saw the prisoner put his hand into the prosecutor's pocket, take out a bag, and attempt to hand it to another man. Time priso ner was then forced into the passage, and immediately after wards a lad brought us the bag, which he said the prisoner dropped in the street upon being apprehended. A policeman, who was called upon the occasion, said he distinctly saw the boa drop from the prisoner's' pocket-hole, to which no packet was attached. The prisoner—lt must have fallen from somebody else, fur I swear I never had so much money in my possession, to my knowledge, in all my life. The Alderman—Have you any question. to ask, pri soner 1 The prisoner—l have been trying very hard to get work, bpd there's none to be bad. The prisoner, who had been but a few days discharged from prison, was committed far trial. The Lord Mayor requested that the preu would ackaow• ledge his receipt of IL from E. U. Whitehurst, and ds. from W. E. W., fur the poor-hos. GUILDHALL. Mrs. Dalby, the wife of ti boot maker carrying on 'twine's at 151, Flset•street, applied for a summons against her hus band under this following circumstances :—She complained that en Thursday last her ►usband obtained her watch of her under the pretence of getting a key for it, but he im mediately sent his man out to pledge it, for tie purpose of spiting her. He then, as she alleged, turned her out of doors and said she might go ono g•t her living for the future by prostitution. She u.tircately asked him for the key of her bednom, and on retiring at night she found every article of furniture removed into another room and put under lock and key, so that abo bad only the bare boards to lie on. . . . . AlAtsmstt ggre reminded her that the furniture wee her husband's preperty. Curaplainant said she knew that, although when she mar ritd him five years ago she had 1001. worth of furniture and 1001. of her own. _ _ Alderman Rose asked if she complained of violence, and why she was so treated ? Complainant said he had frequently dinged her down stairs, ►nd on one ceession desired the men to lock her up in the coal cellar. She could only attribute it to the fact of his having to keep bit mother and four listen, who made all the mischief between them. The summons was then granted. CLERKENWELL. Mr. Birchmore, the overseer of the poor of St. Pancras, applied to Mr. Corns for hie signature to au order for the transmission of a pauper lunatic, named Sarah Young, who had been thrown on the parish ins most mysterious manner. The patient referred to was allowed to sit et the solicitors' table. She was well and neatly deemed, and appeared to be about 3S years of age. On Saturday a woman named Bridget Grady, residing at No. 6, Tottenham-place, Tottenham-court-road, applied at 'the workhouse for admission of a relative, who had always obtained her living as a dressmaker, but who for the last three' month+ bad been unable to earn a livieg, or do anything for herself, through having become insane. She stated that she had never been in say asylum for lunatics; that she had no knowledge as to the cause of her present state of mind, or of her having formed a connexion with any individual. On being questioned as to how she came to reside with her, she replied—" On Wednesday I brought her from 6, Church passage, Chancery-lane, where a Mrs. Harrison, the landlady, had the charge of her. I know nothing more about her, and I cannot tell whether she has any other friends or relations in London." lat once, continued Mr. &Lehman, went to No. 6, Tottenham-place, when I saw the patient I now mount. I asked the landlady of the house how the young woman had come to her house, when she told me that on the Wednesday preview, in the afternoon, a tall, elder:y, and well-dressed gentlemen called on her, end took the room; and in the evening the same ft, ntlemen drove up in a fashionable brougham, and forced the young woman out of the cab, and took her up stairs. She also told me that Dr. Steggall, of Queen-square, had seen the patient twice. I did not know what to think of the matter at the moment, so I wrote to Dr. Steggall for an explanation of the matter; and, in the mean time, I had the pariah stir geon. Mr. Wildtore, to see the young woman, and be gave the following certificate of her condition : "This is to car •ify that I have examined Sarah Young, of 6, Tottenham place, and believe her to be of unsound mind. Signed, D. 11. G. Wild ore, surgeon." After that my suspicions were more aroused by the fact that the landlady told me that Bridget Grady lived at No. 10 in the same pin% and had comet to her house only on the Wed nesday evening to take care of the young woman. Late in the day I received the following certificate from Dr. Steggall : " I hereby certify that Sarah Young bee been only once seen by me before to-day, and, therefore, that I am not her medical attendant. lam of opinion that she is insane, hut I do not consider restraint to be neon sary.—(Signed) Joust W. B. STIOCIALL, M.R C.5.,F.5.A., 3, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, Feb. 10, 1855.—T0 Mr. Sirehmere.'`—Feeling that there was more mystery in the affair than appeared, I asked who Mrs. Harrison was, who ' had the first care of the young woman. From what heard I proceeded to No. 18, Bennett's-court, Mary-lane, where I found the woman whom Bridget Grady said re. aided in Church-passage, Chancery-lane. I asked her about the affair, and she made the following statement, , which she is now present to verify on oath:—" My name in Ellen Harrison, a married woman, residing at 18, Bea nett's-court, Drury-lane. On Wednesday last, the 7th of February, between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock in the morning, nurse Grady received Sarah Young, the lunatic, from me. She brought a coach with her to take the woman away. I expected her to come, as it was arranged the over night. Sarah Young had resided with me about throe months. I had charge of her. I have no know. kdos as to the cause of her malady. I think , she had a brother named Charles Young, who formerly kept', the White Swan publio-house, in Fetter-laue, but I do not know it myself ; it is what the invalid herself has told me. When Sarah Young came to me, three months ago, she was alone, and I received 21. weekly for her lodging, which was paid to me by herself or nurse Grady every week. Nurse Grady can te l all about her. There Is a mystery." Taking all the matter into consideration, I thought it better to take the young woman into the house and bring her bi-: fore your worship to have the matter attested to. Mr. Corrie—Certainly the matter is mysterious, and I have no objection to hear your witnesses on oath. The two females, who were out of court during the state ment, were severally brought in and examined. They tes tified to the above facts. The woman Grady, after hearing Mrs. Harrison's evidence, positively declared that she knew no further than what she stated, and if she learned anything further of the affair she would at once let Mr. Birchraore know of it. Mr. Corrie—As the evidence stands, 1 do not think I can kelp you at present; it is a mysterious affair, and requires farther elucidation. Mr. Birchniore—ln that case, your worship, I wiU take her into the house to make further inquiry. The poor young woman, who seemed quite passive, war plated in sub and removed to the workhouse. "G. F. R." has tent 11. for Rachel Clark, the sweep's 'wife, whose husband elected to go to prison sooner than promise not to black her eyes .10 terrify his family any 'M HEALTH OF LONDON. The Registrar-General reports that the cold of winter, more severe then usual, continues to produce its natural effect in a high rate of mortality, though the num ber of deaths registered last week in London is rather less than those of two previous weeks. The deaths, which in the third week of January were 1,549, and in the two sub sequent weeks rose to 1,630 and 1,604, fill last week to 1,546. According to the Greenwich table of meteorology, the mean temperature, which was about 42 deg. in the first fortnight of the year, was in the last four weeks only 28 9 deg., 29.3 deg., 29.3 deg., and 30.9 deg. • - The present return is for the sixth week of the year. Taking the deaths of the same week in each of the years 1845-64, it is found that they averaged 1,101, with which, after a correction for increase of population, the 1,546 deaths of last week may be compared. The result is that the weather has been fatal in a week to 332 lives more than would have been extinguished in an ordinary season. The average temperature of the ten corresponding weeks was 412 deg., which exceeds the temperature of last week by 10 3 deg. A comparison of the numbers who died at different ages in the last two weeks shows that the decrease noticed above is confined entirely to the young; for to the period extend ing from 20 to 60 years of age the number suffered no change, while of persons in still more advanced life the deaths increased from 374 to 417. In this last number are 95 deaths of men and women on whose heads had gathered fours ore winters, or more. . . . . . Diseases of the organs of respiration were fatal in 424 casts, whilst the corrected average for corresponding weeks is only 245. Bronchitis is specificed as the mortal diens° in 23 5 out of the 424 cues, and is at present fatal to con siderably more than twice its usual amount; pneumonia numbers 126, the average being 97. 158 person. died of consumption, a malady which is not caused, and shows lets liability to be accelerated, by extreme cold. 90 children died of hooping-cough ; 13 persons of influenza. Last week the births of 931 boys and 898 girl., in all 1,832 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1845-64 the average num ber was 1,641. At the Royal Obeervatory Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.511 in. The reading on Wednesday and Friday rose to 20.77 in. and 29.79 in. The mean temperature of the week was 30.9 deg., which is 7.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the average on every day of the week, and the extent of depression was 10.4 deg. on Friday, and al much as 16.4 deg. on Saturday. The highest temperature of the week occurred on Monday, and was 40.4 deg. ; the lowest was 17.4 deg., and occurred on Saturday, oa which day the highest was 33 deg. The mean dew-pant temperature was 29.7 deg., and the differ ence between this and the mean air temperature was 1 2 deg. The temperature of the water of the Thames was 35.1 deg. The wind blew generally from the north-east; and the amount of rain was 0.73 in. LONDON ORPHAN AbYlXm.—Vesterday the fortieth anniversary leatival, in aid of the above charity, was held at the London Tavern, the Duke of Wallington presiding, supported by the Eal of Verulam, Lord It. Grosvenor, Mr. Sheriff C'osley, and several of the most influential members of the Stcck Ezohange. The chairman, in re commending the institution to the benevolent notice of the company, mentioned the important fact that at the present moment 415 children were receiving protection and benefit from it. In addition to this, the dircetlis bad munificently given siz prf sentatiana to the army in the Crimes, to be distributed equally among the orphans left in the various chums of that army. Trio health of the children was I most satisfactory, only taro having died during the re cent epidemic. Ilia Grace cooclutkd his observations by terribly appealing to the benevolence a the company on behalf Of tho London Orphan Asylum. The list of sub scriptions was then read by the treasurer, including 50 gulneu from the chairman, 101. each from Lord IL Grosvenor, Earl of Verulam, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, sad the stewards, amounting in the whole to 1,5.00!. In the course, of the evening the children of tho schoJl were introduced, and their clean, healthy, and respertable appearance was the subject of general notice and commendation. THE HIGHWAY SYSTEZ Last evening s public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Heorge-the-Martyr, Southwark, in turthersnce et the Metropolitan Improvements Bill, as introduced by Sir B. Hall, In so far al it rel 'tee to the highways, was held at the Equestrian Tavern, Bl'sekrri ... .road• Mr. ltouzar Annum wag voted to the chair, and, in ex plaining the wpm of the meeting, urged the importance of • general reform of the parochial system,with the view to the ennsllidation of the numerous boards by which the various departments of the parochial business were now managed. He considered that in soy reform the principle of annual election should be admitted. Mr. Lout moved a resolution expressing the satisfaction of the meeting at the announeemeat of Sir B. Hall's inten a th nl e d r s era a r n a a t t io t n he , c a l a e r a i ns_ n i t zr el a ia n t d in lig io latng aa o ta f a t n h d e lion to bring in a bill to remedy the abuses connected with boards which they authorised were not only unneces th the metro p oli t an numerous tory and a source of great and constant annoyance to the ratepayers, but inflicted upon them a very heavy burthen, without corresponding benefits, it being notorious that the rep.irs o: the roads, and their cleansing and lighting, were in almost every parish most imperfectly attended to, ard their opinion that the immediate repeal of all those acts, and the passing of a uniform law applicable to the whole of the metropolis, and authorising the levying ct cne uniform pound rate, are imperatively necessary, and would be of immense acivantage to the community. The mover of the resolution observed that, under such a system as was pro posed, the paving and lighting of the metropolis might he carried out at less than halt the expense at present in curred for these purposes. Mr. BARNES seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by several speakers, mast of whom argued in favour of an adherence to the elective principle in the proposed hill, but expressing their col currence in its provisions generally. A Mr. ANDERSON, the highways surveyor of the parish, ured the claims of the surveyors and other officers to com pensation for loss of office under the new bill, w bleb, how ever, he considered was a most beneficial measure. Mr. CIIEAGH mentioned instances where tailors, tinkers, and others, who had no practical knowledge of the subject, had been appointed to the office of surveyor of highways and pavements, to waoae ignorance he attributed a consi derable addition to the parochial expenditure. The resolution was put and carried. Another resolution, repudiating the claim for compensa tion put forward by the present surveyors end other officials of the highway board, moved by Mr. HOSKINS, ascended by Mr. Hisce, and supported by Mr. DRINEWATER, anti one or two other ratepayers, was also passed, and a com mittee was appointed to watch the progress of the govern ment bill through parliament, and to communicate with Sir B. Hall thereon if necessary. The usual compliment to the chairman concluded the proceedings. • MARKETS. COTTON GOODS. MANCHESTER, FEB. 13.—Spinners and yarn agents re port a slight improvement, but a very slight one, in the demand for twist at last prices. Manufacturers, it is sup poaed, have come to the conclusion that prices have seen the lowest point for the present, and under this impression have made offers which, though low, were such as spinners could accept. This course is probably to some extent the rtsuit of a determination, at last made evident, among the 1166 spinners of resorting to a more limited production as a mean, of sustaining themselves against the present pressure upon prices. Two of the large fine spinners of Manchester, and a good many of those at liolton, have given notice to their workpeople that the mills will be run only three (or in some cues four) days per week. These yarns are mostly 50's and upwards, used in Glasgow and Nottingham for fabrics in which there is now a diminished demand through the stag nation of trade in America. In cloth there is also a great disposition to ,run short time, ■nd five Or six large manufacturers at and near to Bla.k burn and Preston are resorting to this course immediately. The demand for cloth here today has been on a most limited scale—his than in past weeks, and prices, if not actually lower, are tending downwards. There is less business fur long and T cloths, and In fact fabrics of all kindv, whether for home consumption or export, are taken in exceedingly small quantities, evidencing • low state of confidence more, if anything, than a failing of the sources of demand—exports still going on, though in driblets, and sales being effected in many fabric.: at a considerable loss on the cost of production. Low mulls and j►ccanets selling at 7s. 9d. per piece, for instance, it is alleged, cannot be pro duced at this price under a loss of 4d. per piece. COTTON.—LrvEstroot, FED. 13.—The market closed with a heavy feeling, and prices lean morn to the purchaser. The mles have been estimated at 5,000 bales-1,000 for ex port, and including 200 Pernam and Maranham, 6d. to 6t 1. ; 250 Egyptian, 51d. to Bd.; 1,500 Surat, 30. to 4il. ; and 30 Sea Islands, Ilia. to 161 d. per lb. MANUFACTURES.— HUDDERSFIELD, FEB. 13.—Tbe attendance a merchants has been rather rrore numerous today, but their pinches(' being limited to such patterns as are required for present orders, causes trade to continue dull. In the warehouses during the week business on the whole has been a shade better. WOOLS.—HUDDERIPIELD, Fan. 13.-1 a German wools, of which there is a lair sto:k on hand, there is a little mere doing. Buyers of colonials are holding off until it is known how prices run at the forthoomiug sales. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Luune, FEB. 13.—We have again to report a little improvement in the state of the woollen market; there was a good attendance of merchants in the cloth balls, and a better dieporition to do business where any inducement was offered by the manufacturer with regard to price. CORN.—IIttu., FEE. 13.—There was a small supply of 1 wheat from the farmer', and very little foreign. Factors tried hard to buy far less money than last week, but could only succeed in few instances, so that we do not alter our' quotations. Very limited enquiry for spring corn, and prices of e►ch description tend downwards. nets has been a little fitictuatiuti in linseed and its products from political mtuees, but the market for each closes tamely. Imports from Feb. 3to Feb. 9 : Wheat, 136 qrs. ; barley, 417. LEEDS, FEB. 13.—The severity of the weather stops our navigation ; in consequence, our supplies are small, and very little business is done in wheat, at about Friday's rates. Barley, beans, and other articles without variation. &rrivals this week:—Wheat, 741; oats, 67; barley, 410; rapeseed, 24. Lyme, FIB. 13 —A good supply of both wheat and barley to-day. Our navigation being now closed by ice no shipments can be made, which causes the trade to rule dull at prices much about the same as last week. Wheat, 60Iba. to 631155., 661. to 70s. ; white, 765. Barley, best runs, 29g. to 30s. ; extra, 335. per qr. to the growers. Oats, 14d. per stone. --•-• NEWCASTLE, FEB. 13.—The weather still continues of a wintry character. There is an immense quantity of floating iee in the river, which threatens to impede the navigation. At oar market this morning we had a large show of wheat from the growers, but, being without any arrivals from the coast or abroad, freak•thrashed samples were taken off pretty readily at Saturday's rates, but in other descriptions little was done, there being too great a disparity between the views of buyers and sellers to lead to business. Flour sold very slowly, and in some cases was parted with at lower rates. Barley a perfect drug, and it is only now and then that buyers can be met with ; in fact prices may be deemel little better than nominal. Malt quite neglected. In other articles little stirring, and prices unchanged. _ -. • Bamanta; Fate. 13.—At this day's market we bad a fall average supply of all kinds of grain, and a full attend ance of buyers, but dealers and millers were rather thin. There was a very indifferent demand for wheat, and quota tions remain nominally unaltered from last week. The transactions in barley were of a very limited character, and prices fell le. per qr. below late rates. Malt is a dull sale, and hu declined 3d. to 6i. per bushel; but in other re spects quotations were fully maintained, but the trade was extremely dull. Wheat, 70s. to 765. Barley, 305. to 3.55. Oats, 225. to 265. Beans. 58s. to 625. Peas, 445. to 625. per qr. Flour, 525. to 58s. per sack. Malt, 9s. 3u. to 9n 9d. per bushel. CATTLE.—SatifinuaY, FEB. 13.—The continuation of the severity of the weather, together with the very bad state of the coals, which almost prevents cattle travel ling, has produced a very small exhibition of beasts at our market to-day, but the quality was of a good kind. There was about the usual attendance of buyers present, and the scarcity induced, as has often been the case of late, buying and selling twice over, but without the effect, as in tended, of raising quotations. However, everything was disposed of at the currencies of last market. The supply of sheep, too, was extremely limited in supply, but of excellent quality; the usual requirements of the trade caused a brisk demand, and consequently everything was disposed of at en early hour at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight. In veal and lamb little stirring as yet, hut previous currencies are maintained. la the pig department there was a less sup ply than of late, awl there being a short attendance of dealers present, little business was transacted, and late quotation• for all kialds remained nominally unal tered. Best OE beef, 12s. tp 12s. Gil. per scare; caw and heifer ditto, 9a. to 10.. lie.t Down mutton, 7d. to 711. per ilb. ; inferior breeds, U. to tlid. Lamb, Bd. to 91 Veil, 7d. to 7}d. Pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to 7',4. per lb., and 10s. to 10.. 3d. per score. Bacon, green, Sd. to 9d. per lb , dry, 10d. to 101 d., and 10s. to 10e. 31 per score. Quarter store pigs, lbs. to 22e. each, REFUGE FOIL TIIE DESTITUTE, DALSTOI4.—The annual court of governcrs of this institution was held at the London Tart rn, Bishopsgate-arect, on Thursday, Fe- bruary Bth ; J.
