this case. It was an action of trove for the — recovery of 6.e hundred pounds, the value of a Bank of England tote which had been stolen, together with another note of five hundred pounds from a Gentleman in the Strand, in February, 1826. The plaintiff was the agent of a bullion-broker in Paris, who had taken the note in the wa y of business,but on its being presented at theßank, payment was refused. The holder of the note, the agent of Messrs. Wier and Co. the bullion-brokers at Paris, then commenced proceedings against the Bank. The cause was tried before Lord Tenterden at Guildhall, and a verdict given for the plaintiff to the full amount. Sir J. Searlett said that be could not see upon what ground the verdict could be disturbed in this case, as it appeared on the trial that Messrs. Wier had become possessed of the note in the fair way of business. The name of the person from whom the note bad been taken had not been kept, but that was in consequence of Englishmen, on getting their notes changed, giving incorrect addresses, and against which the money-changers had no remedy. Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUZT was beard in support of tht rule. The Bank were only the nominal defendants in this case, but they considered themselves bound in justice to support a case lite to that of the person from whom the notes were stolen. He did not intend to throw out any gamin's: against the character of Messrs. Oiler and Co. but he thought it rather extraordinary that they did not at the trial attempt to prove that they gave the full value for the note. This he thought was alone-a good ground for a new trial. If the verdict was allowed to stand in the present case, the possessors of stolen notes would have no difficulty in getting rid of then, for they had nothing else to do than to send them to Paris, and then, as the money changers would not object to change them, the Bank could not refuse pay ment of them. He thought that it would be a most dangerous precedent, and ought to be well considered. Mr. P. Pou.ock followed on the same side. Lord TENTIIRDIN then gave the opinion of the Court. A new trial ought to be granted in this case, as it did not appear on the trial that the full value had 'been given for the note; but by a new trial the plaintiff would be afforded an opportunity of proving that such was the case. All suspicious circumstances respecting .the possession of the note might then be cleared up. It was a most important circumstance, when looked at in weemmercial point of view, and ought to be examined With the greatest caution —Rule made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FMOAST 116 TIM V. TRAVIRS. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, a Gentlemen residing at Higisbury terrace, against his 'oeighbourMr. Travers, for shooting his dog. On the part 4.f the defendant (the Learned Judge having de cided th .t the question raisedupon the pleadings required that )te, and not the plaintiff, should begin) a number of witnesses mere called, who deposed to sundry mischie vous gambols on the pan of the dog in question. It was a laige Nevolouttdhnd dog, kept by the plaintiff . about his premise!, as a watch-dog, sometimes muutled and sometime. not. Upon oneoccasion he jumped.upon a Lady and carried off her fur tippet in his mouth; upon ano her he threw down a little gill and rolled her in the mu ; at another time he pinned a Lady against the wall with his fore paws, and again leaped at an old watchman, and scampered off with his night cap be tween his teeth. He bit ali tle bty by the wrist, and drew blood, and in titre became the terror of the neigh booth° d, not only'frielyening the women and chil dren about tie place, but also the nightly watch, (with whom, according to the old proverb," two of a trade," Ike. he could never agree), and even the inspectors the watch. Having annoyed and terrified some of the defendant's family, this Gentleman told the plaintiff's son he would shoot the dog, and on the following day be fulfilled his promise. It was intimated on the part of the plaintiff, in reply to a question from the Bench, that although it could be proved that this dog had constantly played with children -and others, without evincing any disposition to be vi cious or mischievous, yet he was not prepared with evidence to rebut the particular facts sworn to on the other side. The LORD CRIMP JUSTICR observed that a dog might be very good tempered sometimes with children, and yet be extremely vicious on other occasions. He did not think, after the explanation which had been given, that the defendant's case could be answered. The plaintiff therefore submitted to a nonsuit. SHERIFFS COURT. GUILDHALL PRACTICZ OR THR COURT. Mr. Sergeant ARABI!. and Mr. LAW are the Judges of this Court.—ln a case which came on. it was stated - upon affidavit, that a person who represented himself as residing at a certain number, in a certain street, did not reohle, nor was known there, and a question arose •u hich was submitted to the Learned Judge. Mr. Reeve (an Attorney of the Court), submitted that Mr:Losley, the Clerk Sitter of the Court, should be compelled to pay the cysts in an action which had failed, in consequence of a false oath which had been taken. • It Was the du'y of Mr. Loxley, as Clerk Sitter, to ad miniiter oath, and he had deputed another person to perform twat part of his duty. The consequence was, tf they could find the person who had so perjured him self, no punishment could be inflicted upon him for that very stilt us offence, because the deputy of Mr.' Loal y, could uot, without having been appointed by that Court, administer an oath. This was a moat seri ous interdict of justice; and, in fact, justice could not be done io a Court, where the business u as shifted from hand to hand, without the permission or cognizance of •the• Court. lir. Losley said, that neither he nor his Deputy had 'any 'thing to do wi;h the false oath, and it was just the same thing a hether it was sworn before one car the . trier. It was the practice of the Court to leave the app-int wept of a Deputy to the principal, and a perjured peg. son who was sworn before his Deputy was punishable in the usual way' or the offence. Mr. BUJltrAur (the Counsel) argued in support of Mr. Reeve's position. He contended that no more, punishment could be inflicted for a false oath taken 'before the Deputy. than for one taken before any or. slimy person. The question was, whether. the Deputy had been legally appointed, and he wished to see the appointment. Mr. Lortley had certain benefits arising from the situation. sod if he was unable to attend to the duties, he ought to have applied to the Court for a, Deputy. but as itheiappointment was not legal, no ia dictment could lie for the perjury. He trusted the Learned Judge would make the sale absolute in thistase. The Learned dodge said, 'that the object of the Me: ti-ou svats•thet pmeediop Amid btt stayed. and that Mr. Leaky should pay the costs. *amid not sou- sent to that—he denied the position that 'Mr. LAxley had no right to appoint his own Deputy ; 'and heas serted that the Deputy was qualified to do everything that might be done by his principal. He chreidered Mr. Loaley Completely justified, and should discharge the Rule, with costs. Mr. Reeve said, that if he had applied to the Court of King's Bench. Lord Tenterden would in an instant have granted his motion. The Learned Judge asked whether that observation was meant as an offence? Mr. Reeve repeated what he had stated. and added that he would apply to the Court of King's Bench. The Learned Judge—" Take down his words." This was done, and the Court,broke op. , "-'•` 0 ' LAW INTELLIG I§ICL . "*; i ;i l ..' o 0 ( F KING'S BENCH , Fn. 16.

These Sessions commenced this morning, before F. COMM Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates. W. Jump, R. Edwards, and G. Chandler, were in dicted for assaulting Charles Wyatt, a Bow-street patrol. The defendants were fighting about a fare, end on the officer interfering he got severely assaulted. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced to be imprisoned ten days in the House of Correction. Mr. John Haggart, who was convicted of a nuisance at the December Sessions, was brought up for judgment. The defendant said it was impossible he could abate it; if he did it would completely destroy his trade. CHAIRMAN—We cannot help that—the whole neigh bourhood are not to be annoyed on that account ; the case may stand over until the nest Sessions, and h e nuisance is not abated by that time, the Court will take such steps that will eoforce it. Several other cases of petty assaults were disposed of in the the morning. course of POLICE INTELLIGENCE. NANBIO - N-HOUSR. During the past week the Mansion House has been actually besieged by poor, half-starved, half-naked wretches. Bath day presented a greater multitude than the preceding, and it appeared as if all parts of the country are emptying their miserable and idle population into the metropolis. Sir C. S. Iltnesa,who sat for the Loser MAYOR ; was actually frightened at the ragged regiment 4111 men, women and children, who made their way into the Justice Room, and blocked up the avenues of the building. About Aft, paupers yesterday exhibited themselves at one time. One of the paupers said, that he sod several others had offered themselves to do any sort of work that should be proposed to them, but It was in vain they sought for employment : every where they turned themselves hunger stared them In the face. Sir Ctruotus--You have each of you a claim upon the funds of the parish in which you were born, or have obtained a settle ment. You must go there, and compel t he authorities to support you. Here the paupers, as if with one voice, cried out—Send us to Bridewell, or some prison or other, for the love of Goa ; it is better to be in a poi, than to die in the streets. Mr. Hobler said, the Refuge for the Houseless Poor. established in Grub-street, had, at the same time that it relieved much actual misery, produced a great deal of mischief. The idle as well as the poor, from all parts of England, lucked to the Metropolis the mo ment they heard of the Refuge. He asked the paupers where they sleci s o e ; the preceding night ? replied that they all slept together in Grub-street. Sir Cirentes—l can't do any thing for you. You must endea vour to reach your parishes. Mr. Hobler said, it %mild really appear that the !mane prison system, acted upon of late years, presented an encouragement to idleness. Sir CLAVDIUS, who is a Member of the Mendleity Society, gave some of the paupers tickets for soup. Several of them, however, said that tickets would be of no use to them, as they had visited the soup quarters before, and second visits were not received. Paupers—What are we to do—we have not a farthing? The worthy Alderman—l'll tell you what you must do. You must leave the City—you have no claim upon us. I'll tell you what you will do—go away two or three miles from this house— ' sleep where you stop, and next day apply to the dicers for passes , home—if they refuse, complain to the Magistrates. The paupers still continued to press for money, clothes, and employment, and could not be prevailed upon by entreaties or es bortations to leave the Justice /loom. At length the Alderman ordered the officers to exclude them by main force, if they could not be prevailed upon to obey the man date from the Chair, and the police were actually obliged to shoul der some of them out. Sir Cl Alimus said that he should agitate the matter in the Court of Aldcrmam GUILDHALL, A lad of respectable appearance, named's/is Oakey, was brought before Sir Joust Pearson yesterday, charged with stealing a sove reign from Sir. John Diner, a pianoforte maker, on Newington Causeway. Mr. Darter said, that on Wednesday the prisoner called on him, and said be was going to Ckntenti's, in Os/spade, for his father, and would purchase what be desired, if witness would give him the amount (about SO Witness said he was going into the City himself, and would accompany him, and they went to- gether as far as Messrs. aernenti's door, where the prisoner pulled him aside into Fountain-court. and remarked, that if witness went into the shop with him, be should not be able to get the full allowance to the trade. Having no suspicion of the prisoner, complainant gave him a sovereign, and he walked in at Clementi's back door.— Finding beqiiii not return in a reasonable time, witness went in after him, and learnt drat be bad not purchased any music, but merely passed through the shop and out at the front door; and it turned out that his tether bad not sent him fur any music. On Saturday be met the prisoner in Bridge House.place, and upon re. monstrating with him for practising such a fraud, be replied in an impudent way, " I don't care for it—you may do as you please." Witness then gave him into custody. The prisoner o ff ered no defence. Sir Joint Nears@ said it was not in his power to send the pdo loner to any Institution of the nature mentioned, but be appeared to be a very proper object for commitment, and he therefore corn- i witted trim a Newgate. BOW-STREET. Esther Epees., the elder; Esther Eimer, the younger (who carry! en the business of tambour-workers; and their forewoman, Alta Rebistion, were charged with almost starving and otherwise inhu manly treatiug six female children, the eldest of whom was under eleven years of age, who had been apprenticed to the first-named prisoner by the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fielels. Four children, were brought forward. One of the children, named Bliss Lomax, presented the most frightful spectacle that can be conceived. Her person exhibited a melancholy specimen of emaciatkus. Two other girls were in such danger that they could not be removed. Sir -R. BiltAlLlt is a case of the most unbeard-of depravity, and proves the necessity which Parish Officers ought to feel Wm selves under to took after the children apprenticed oat by them. Mr. John Blackman deposed, that be wu one of the Overseen of St. Martin's-In-the Fields—four of the children were appren ticed to the elder Speer, in January. 1848. and the remaining two iu the April following. On the previous Thursday be went to visit the children, and was so shocked with the appearance of two of ithem, that he resolved to take them away. On making some ob servation about them, the eldest prisoner carelessly remarked that they were of rather unhealthy habit. He then proceeded to the Officers of St. Pancras, who sent Mr. Wright, their surgeon,-to vial' the children, and two Bodies to swift in removing them, if necessary. Mr. Wright wu of opinion that they ought to be taken away. and certified •• that the children were suffering either front want of food, or the food given them being improper." One of the children was so ill, that she was conveyed to the lofirmary, mortification having commenced in her feet and hands—and anuthet was confined, in an almost hopeless condition, in St. Mar tin's Infirmary. A woman present stated that she was grandmother to the child who 1;y in the Infirmary. She bad slot seen her since last Sep tember, notwithstanding she celled repeatedly for that purpose, amr was made to believe the child was going on well, as her mistress spoke highly of her, but said on each occasion that because she had been guilty of mate tailing fault she would punish her by telling her that her grandmother had been there, but, on account of her misbehaviour, she would not be brought down to see her.

Sir Riettaao (addressing another of the ehildren)—How armies 14 my little dear, that you look so much bitter then the rest ? The child replied that she was called the housekeeper. and and to go of messages; when sent to buy any thing, she generally kept a few halfpence to get some bread. It Was explained as the nese of the good looks of the other two children, that they bad occasionally gum to bee their friends, where they got some food. One of the children used to eat so greedily en thuds occasions as to be IU for several days afterwards. Sit ItacuAsie asked if the prisoners would say any thing ? The elder Speer remained silent; but her daughter was very voluble, and among other other things said, u the children were I bound to her mother, the bad nothing to say to the matter. She was in no wise answerable for what bad occurred. The children were only beaten when they refused to work. The other prisoner, Rubinson, set up a similar defence, but Sir Itscurthe theme said it would nut avail. He asked the Churchwatden if It was the Intention of the parish to prosecute? The Churchwarden said, decidedly. The Magistrate then otdered the prisooers to find ball, and give !4 hours notice. The children were all taken back to St. Martin's workhouse ter the present, and the takers then retired.

" I am carrying this basket to le Mettle," replied the boy.— "That basket," said the Prince, “ is too heavy f..r you ; give it me, and I shall put it down when passing." The basket being put into the cabriolet the Prince delivered it faithfully to the address. Afterwards he goes to the father of the child, and says to him, "I have met your little boy; you make him carry too heavy baskets; by doing so you destroy his health. and hinder his growth.
