The market, consequently, is my firm, althou g h it i s na t ura ll y i nfluenced by y depreciation in the value of the funds. The forthcoming half-yearly meetings are awaited with 120 me curiosity, and favourable dividends seem to be expected not only on account of the augmented ear nings, but al so i n consequence of the savings that must have been effected in the debenture o perations, through the ab un d ance an d c h eapness of money.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) APPEAL.-H.AXILAND V. MORTIBOY. The question in contention in this case is, whether the plaintiff's sister, and next of kin of the late Mr. John Shep herd, George-street, Euston-square, is entitled to £6,000, being one-half of his personal estate at the time of his death, the plaintiff having already received the other half. Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart found that the plaintiff was also entitled to this sum of £6,000. _ _ _ The defendant, Mr. Mortiboy, appealed, but the plaintiff stands as appellant, and defendant as respondent. The evidence in the cause having been concluded yes terday, Mr. John Drake Coleridge, for the defendant, resumed his address to the Court upon the import of the evidence in the cause this morning. The learned counsel, in a clear and lucid statement of the case, contended that the balance of evidence produced was in favour of the defendant, and showed that Mrs. Mary Shepherd was lawfully married to the late Mr. John Shepherd, and to no other person. That the alleged statements made by the two servants, Hannah Hawkins and Ann Wood, that Mrs. Shepherd told them that she had been previously married to Mr. Masters, was not true, but was contradicted by the surrounding facts and circum stances of the case. It was equally untrue that Mrs. Shepherd was married to Jones, or Ward, or any other but only to Mr. John Shepherd. The defendant, Mr. Mortiboy, is trustee for Mrs. Shepherd, and the legality of his claim to the £6,000 in question depends on the validity of the marriage of Mrs. A. Shepherd at St. Pancras Church in 1824, which is disputed by the plaintiffs. Mr. Malin, Q.C., is now being heard in reply for the plaintiffs upon the whole case. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE CALVERT AND CO. To-day was appointed for hearing a trader debtor's sum mons, taken out against Messrs. Calvert and. Co., brewers, by Mr. F. Hunt, of Mina-road, Old Kent-road. James Smith, of Colford-street, Hoxton, and James Mason, of William-terrace, Faillela-road, Bow, journeymen binders, who claimed a sum of £s29 Bs. The case possesses some interest from the fact that since the trader debtor's sum mons was taken out, on the 30th December last, Messrs. Calvert have filed a deed of arrangement under the 6-7ths clause, and the trustees or inspectors yesterday filed a cer tificate that 6-7ths of the creditors are above £lO each, had signed the deed, this being done in accordance with sec. 226 of the Bankruprcy Consolidation Act, which, in effect, makes the deed prima facie evidence in courts of law and equity, and in case the summons was answered by an affi davit that there was a gooddefence to the action. The exist ence of the deed was referred to, on which • Mr. C. Lewis, who appeared for the petitioning creditors, who dissented from the deed, said that as no affidavit had been made that there was a good defence ;to the action, he must ask for a bond. His Honour refused. He wsuld not make an order on I,aese disputed cases. Gill, a tinplate-worker, in Fore-street, Limehouse, and he had been away from him some time in consequence of very severe illness. He recently offered his services to his mas ter, who required him to work from six in the morning till eight at night, which was more than he was able to do. Mr. Yardley thought it unreasonable to require a grow ing youth to work for more than 12 hours per day, includ ing meal times, even if he was in good health, but he should certainly say, from the appearance of the lad, that eight or ten hours per day was all that could be reasonably required of him. The lad put in a certificate signed by Dr. Richard son, of the Dispensary for Diseases of the Chest, in the City-road, stating that he could only work from eight to ten hours per day. Mr. Yardley said a master had no right to kill an ap prentice. If the lad was overworked and died in conse quence, the master would be liable to an indictment for manslaughter. The boy could only be required to work according to his strength. The lad said that his master's son struck him on the head with a mallet in September, 1867, and the blow caused concussion of the brain. Mr. Yardley said, in the face of the certificate produced, the boy ought not to be employed either 12 or 14 hours per day, and granted a summons against Mr. Gill. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.--Ellen Shea, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with steal ing 6d. from a szilor named Thomas Wiley, belonging to the collier brig Venus, lying off Stone-stairs, Ratcliff. The prosecutor, a Newcastle man, entered a public-house with two shipmates this morning. They called for a pot of beer, and while partaking of it, Wiley, who had been drinking very freely, became sick. He was holding his head down and vomiting when the prisoner put her hand in his trousers pocket and took from it five pennyworth of halfpence and ran away. The sailor pursued her and gave her into custody of a policeman, who took the money from her. The prisoner pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. The summons was then dismissed. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Jury.) THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. SINGULAR ACTION AGAINST A MILITARY OFFICER:- DAMAGES £600.-DASTARD V. LOFTUS. Plaintiff is a widow lady of considerable property, and defendant is a lieutenant-colonel of militia, residing at Spilsby, in Lincolnshire. The action was brought to re cover damages sustained by reason of the detention by defendant of certain articles deposited with him by plaintiff, and which he has neglected to return. No one appeared for defendant, win suffered judgment to go by default. Counsel for plaintiff said that she was a widow lady of good family and independent property. Amongst other articles, she was at one time possessed of a most valuable set of massive silver plate. This plate was very old-fashioned, and much more valuable than similar articles now manufactured. From some cause or another she, being about to proceed on the continent, was desirous of parting with this property, and having kaown the defendant for some time, she entrusted him with the plate, and instructed him to sell it for her if he could. Upon her return from the continent, she found that defendant had not sold the plate, and not wishing then to part with it, she asked defendant to return it. She was put off with excuses from time to time. At one time she should have it the next day, and at another time he wrote that having lost a son she could not expect him then to trouble about a set of plate. Finally, much against her will, plaintiff had been driven to the present course. He (the learned counsel) repeated that he had not the evidence of a silversmith to offer to prove the value of the plate. Neither could he give the weight. Mrs. Bastard having had to do with an officer and a gentleman, had not taken steps that would have proved most protective to herself. As it was, however, the jury would receive such evidence as he could give, and they would give the highest sum, as there was no proof that plaintiff's value was an incorrect one. Some years ago, a chimney sweep found a diamond in the street, and there being no owner he was adjudged the rightful possessor. He took the diamond to a silversmith, and offered it for sale, but the silversmith, thinking it a good opportunity to do the 'poor sweep, kept the diamond, and refused to render any account of it. Upon this an action was brought, and the silversmith refusing to produce the diamond, it was valued as a brilliant of the first water. In the present case defendant refused to produce the plate that had been entrusted to him, and ho (the counsel) called upon the jury to give plaintiff the sum she claimed. Evidence having been given of the above facts, and the learned Secondary having summed up, The jury found for plaintiff—damages, £6OO. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) A BARGAIN'S A BARGAIN.-CHILD T. SISSON. This was an action to recover £7 12s. 6d. for two cwt. of lemon peel, 70s. per cwt. _ _ _ Plaintiff stated that he was a manufacturing confectioner, and in December last year had in his stock nearly half a ton of lemon peel ready for candying. A person named Raymond called upon plaintiff and said he thought he could find a purchaser for the peel, and offered 665. per cwt. for it. Plaintiff declined to take this, and said he would sell at 705., and allow Raymond 2s. per cwt. for his trouble. A sample was taken by Raymond to defendant, a large confectioner in Bishopsgate-street, and an order given. Two hundred weight of the peel was sent in, but defendant found fault and refused to accept any more. He offered a price, but as peel at that time would be worth 905., and the price asked was low, ho (plaintiff) did not think he was called upon to ask a lower figure than 70s. Raymond was called, and swore to these facts. Mr. Beard, for defendant, said the facts were widely dif ferent from these. Mr. Sisson never recognised plaintiff in the matter, and dealt only with Mr. Raymond, who, upon calling with the sample, assured him (defendant) that the peel was ready for candying. Indeed, in the first instance, the peel was not offered to defendant for sale, but Raymond asked him what would be his charge for candying it. De fendant said he should rather buy the peel out and out, and after candying charge Raymond the lowest price. The peel was sent in, but instead of its being fit for candyingl it would be at least four days before that process could be gone on with, and then defendant would be put to consider able extra expense. Finding this to be the case, defendant at once communicated with Raymond, and insisted that the peel should be taken away ; but Raymond asked him to keep it, and said ho should have it at a price. The peel at the outside was worth 455. . . Defendant was called, and two witnesses also, who de posed to the above facts, and that tho peel was not worth 70s. To answer this plaintiff said peel was very scarce, and defendant had got the peel a bargain. Mr. Beard would assure his Honour that not one piece had defendant been able to use. TATTERSALLS'-( THIS EVENING.) His Honour thought that defendant had not derived any benefit from his bargain; but a bargain is a bargain, and defendant must be bound by his. Verdict for plaintiff.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN- ROBBING A PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTlST.—Charles Clark, a respectable-looking young man, residing at 6, Pleasant-row, Stoke Newington, assistant to Mr. Charles Stanley Herve, photographic miniature painter, of 256, Oxford-street, was charged with stealing a photographic lens, &c., the pro perty of his employer. COLNSHIRE. The prosecutor said the prisoner was in his employ as an assistant up to Saturday last, and while he was in his em ploy, about a fortnight, he missed several small articles, such as cases, in consequence of which he spoke to another assistant, telling him to observe the prisoner, and, having done so, the lens in question was yesterday missed. George Frederick Kirkwood, assistant to the prosecutor, said that tho previous morning he missed the lens, and told his employeir. The prisoner happening to call in the after noon ho told him to wait till Mr. Herve came in, and when he did so he said to the prisoner, " Wo want that lens." At first the prisoner denied all knowledge of it, but on his employer telling him to fetch up the officer who was below, the prisoner said, "If you'll wait till to-morrow morning I'll produce it." He was then given into custody. Frank Gillaird, assistant to Mr. Gill, pawnbroker, of 8, Hampstead-road, produced the lens pawned by the prisoner on the 18th of January, for 7s. The directors , of this company have just issued their half yearly report. It states that the directors have pleasure in announcing that the competition which has so long prejudicially affected the prin cipal railway companies has now ceased, and that the heads of two agreements have been signed on behalf of the London and North Western, Great Northern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire companies, the first under date the 26th of November, the second the 23d of December last. 'The agreements are to be taken as in operation from the Ist of January, 1859. The first agreement provides for a complete interchange of non-compe titive traffic at through rates, and also provides for equal rates for competitive traffic, to be settled by arbitration in case of dispute. The second agree ment provides for a general division of competitive traffic, and for the proper passage of competitive and non-competitive traffic to and from Liverpool, on agreed terms, by such arrangements (to be sub mitted to Parliament for confirmation) as, when fully completed, will, it is hoped, obviate the necessity for any outlay of capital by the company between Garston and Liverpool. Tho accounts of the half year show a total revenue from all sources of £293,399, a total ex penditure of £148,846, and a balance of net profit of £144,553; which, with the balance of £1,031 from the previous half year, amounted to £145,584 available for interest and dividend. The de benture and other interest-charges against the half year amounted to £69,533, the canal an nuities to £13,754, the dividend on debenture stock to £650, the dividend on the £6 preference shares to £23,725, the dividend on the 31 preference stock to £2,952, the dividend on the 6 per cent. preference stock to £26,160, and the dividend on the new £lO redeemable 6 per cent. shares to £6OO, making a total charge of £140,381, and leavin g £.5,203 for the next half-year. The capital account showed that £9,021,379 had been received and £8,936,925 expended, leaving a balance of £84,514. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st of December last showed that £393,400 had been received and £148,864. or 52.35 per cent. ex pended, leaving a balance as above of £144,553 against £156,485 at the corresponding period of 1857. Prisoner said it was his own property, and bought in the city, and there were hundreds like it, but the prosecutor positively swore to it from marks on it. Mullard, 339 A, asked for a remand, as he understood there was a previous conviction for a similar committal while he was employed on Tower-hill.

After some discussion, it was arranged that no formal resolutions should be moved, but that means should be taken to obtain further in formation from the company with respect to what prices the lands produced in proportion to their distance from the line, what portions were sold, at what rate per ton the goods were carried, and other points, without which it was impossible to form a just idea of the future prospects of the undertaking. The meeting then separated. RAILWAY BILLS.

SPORTING NOTES. THE CHESTER CUP CHANCES. The Handicap for the Chester Cup, which was this placed before the public, will gratify curiosity and or. quite a sensation in sporting circles. At the Club weights have been eagerly discussed, and, of con opinions differ widely as to Mr. Topham's estimate of thin horses' ability. Still the majority of persons are opinion that the allotment of the weights has been in with a strict regard to impartiality, and with a therm knowledge of the antecedents of the animals entered. C thin horses, too, that last year obtained an undesi notoriety have been properly marked by such a weight will effectually exclude them from the race. The handi is a light one, and as one, if not both, of the top weight sure to accept, there is no possibility of the scale bei raised. The difficulty will, therefore, be to procure boys ride, and amongst the light weights are certain horses tl will require a deal of " steering" round the course. Of the I weights Saunterer, with his steadying 9st., will doubti, command supporters, and Leamington and he are the m, attractive names in the heavy division. Underhand is fai; in, and he will doubtless be amongst the " content 7st. 121 b. will prevent the most sanguine admirer. Eclipse from indulging in great expectations of his chan ' and Mr. Ten Broeck will, perhaps, place his trust entire in Barbarity, as Prioress, it is said, is turned loose is paddock at Newmarket. Polestar is as leniently treated her owner could expect, and as her late want of form woz warrant. East Langton, who was all to pieces at t "back-end" of last year, must not be overlook. The course will suit him, and his weight is unfavourable. Of the 7st. lot, Argosy, Villikiz and Gildermire will command attention. The Aleh man's mare is thoroughly game. Villikins proved Newmarket that he could race a bit, —and Gildermire h undoubtedly ability albeit she is not always trustwortb Both Tunstall Maid and Wrestler seem to me placed = advantageous terms ; from the manner in which the late has been backed, and from the form which ho once displaye. it could not have been expected that he would have obtain a more lenient impost. Sam Spode, who has figured fr , quently and prominently in the betting, has, to my thinkin received a stopper with 7st. Jordan, Est 101 b, and Physicia 6st Sibs, are both treated with consideration. Of the two, h ever, commend me to the " M.D." who is undoubtedly on very advantageous terms. If Risebor be the.Riseber 1 was as a three-year-old, I should not like to be again him at 6st. 81b. If the horse be only sound, he will be dm gerous ; but I am inclined to believe that Mr. Topham h. cogent reasons for treating him so tenderly. Pensioner not handicapped on such easy terms perhaps as his backe anticipated, and, to my thinking, Compromise—as well as anything—will keep him safe. At Ascot last year, Pe; sioner conceded Compromise 41bs., and beat him by a ho only; at Chester he will have to give him 101 b. The next 1 that attracts my attention comprises —Horne, Queenstow: Satinstone, Drogheda, Flitch, Solomon, Old Robert, Clarence, Shuffle, Birmingham, Aston, Old Point, Marine. The number of acceptances will doubtless exceed the ever before obtained for this race. " Ruff's Guide," which has been necessarily delayed i order that the changes of names should be altered, and thr some important additions should be made to it, will be put lished this day. A FRESH MAN. THE CHARGE AGAINST TWO Plll. SICIANS I 2 DUBLIN. The two physicians, John Edward Protheroe and Charles Evans Reeves, were brought up again, on Tuesday, at the Police-court, Dublin, on the charges, the particulars of which were given in The Sun o. Monday last. Mr. J . E. Walsh, Q.C., and Mr. W. Ryan, with Messrs. Smitk and Whitestone, solicitors, appeared for the College of Physicians ; and IL J. A. Curran, with Mr. Charles Fitzgerald,jun., attended on behalf of the prisoners. Mr. Stronge, one of the magistrates, said he understood that a statement was made by one of th&witnesses on the last day, that the certificate of character of Dr. Protheroe was not written, as it purported to be, by Dr. Reeves, but by Protheroe himself. He wished to know whether that state ment appeared on the depositions, as it was a very important one, as showing preconcert between the accused. Mr. Fitzgerald said that Mr. Ryan opened the case with an assertion that the fact was as his worship stated, but no evidence of it was given. Mr. Smith, solicitor, said Dr. Steele stated that he believed the certificate was in the handwriting of the prisoner Protheroe. The - Clerk read the information made by Dr. Steele. Henry . Lockyer, the London detective, had his information read to him. He desired the follow ing addition to be made to it :—After I arrested Dr. Protheree in London, he said he attended and passed his examination, and got his diploma at. "Sir Patrick Dunn's ;" I think he said "Dublin" also. • To Mr. Curran—l asked him no questions, but I stated the nature of the charge against him. He made the statement to me voluntarily. I subse quently cautioned him against making statements. After I brought Dr. Proteroe to the station-house in London, Sergeant lieerran came in with Dr. Reeves, who called out, " Protheroe, old fellow, how are you ?" and he said, " Very well." (Laughte, .) I found a card case in Protheroe's pocket, and took from it a card, on which was engraved " Dr. Prothcroc." Mr. Walsh, Q.C.—That is very important, as showing that the prisoner styled himself " doctor." Mr. Curran—Do you mean to say that Dr. Reeves addressed the other prisoner as " Dr. Pro t heroe ?" Witness—No, he said "Protheroe, old fellow•." Protheroe said he passed at " Sir Patrick's ;" I think he said " Dunn's" also. Sergeant Keegan, of the G division, was next examined. He stated that when Protheroe was arrested he said he passed an examination at Sir Patrick Dunn's Hospital, but he was not sure whe ther the prisoner said " Dublin" or not. Mr. Walsh, Q.C., said it was not intended to call witnesses. He apprehended there was a perfectly clear case of concert established liftween the pri soners. They found one gentleman of the name of Reeves writing no less than three letters in the name of Protheroe—then coming over from London to the College of Physicians, and passing an exa mination under the same name, and finally getting a diploma for "Dr. Protheroe" to practise. Here was a plain case of forgery and personation. Thc a they found a gentleman in London of the name of Protheroe practising with the identical diploma so obtained by Reeves. Under those circum stances he thought that a jury would not hesi tate a moment in saying that all this was done by pre-arrangement between the prisoners. If the certificate of character had been identified as the handwriting of Protheroe, the case would be placed beyond all doubt. There was, however, such a prima facie case established as warranted him, on behalf of the College of Physicians, who were discharging a public duty in prose cuting, to hold the prisoners to substantial bail that they would abide their trial at the next commis sion. The College of Physicians did not desire to put the gentlemen to unnecessary, trouble; but it was perfectly plain that gentlemen in the rank of life of the prisoners would not hesitate to pay £2OO or £3OO to avoid the exposure of a prosecution for the offence charged against them, and therefore the bench ought to enforce substantial bail. Curran said there was no forgery or perso nation in the case. The accused denied that they were guilty of what was charged against them ; but assuming that the facts were as they appeared on the informations, he still submitted that they disclosed no offence known to the law. Mr. Stronge said it occurred to him that if the gentlemen were let out on their bail it would be impossible to enforce their recognisances in Ireland. They had no property in this country ; the recog nisances would resemble a foreign judgment to be realised by an action, and could not be estreated by any summary process. He might be wrong, but his opinion was as he had stated. Mr. Curran said if the parties did not appear a warrant could issue for their apprehension. Mr. Stronge, in reference to the offence charged against the prisoners, said it was an offence against the public welfare to obtain, by conspiracy., a diploma for a person not qualified to practise. It was an offence at common law to conspire to do any act by which the public were damni fied or injured, even although the act itself was not an indictable offence. It was better, how ever, that the law of the case should bo discussed before a higher tribunal. Therefore, he thought that his colleague would agree with him that the case ought to be sent for trial, and that a substitn tial rule of bail ought to be imposed upon the prisoners. Mr. Curran said his suggestion as to the bail to be required not having been acted on, he weld , ' app l y f o r the unconditional discharge of the pri soners; and asked where 'Was the proof of any conspiracy by the prisoners in Ireland? Mr. M'Derinott, magistrate, said that point had occurred , arid he had looked into a case respect ing it. It was quite true that there was no evidence of Dr. Protheroe having appeared in Ireland at all ; but if a conspiracy between the prisoners was once proved, it was settled law that the overt act of one affected both. After some discussion, Mr. Stronge said the bench were disposed to make the following rule of bail :—Two householders in £lOO respectively for each prisoner, besides his personal recognisances in the sum of £3OO. Mr. Curran suggested that two householders in £5O each should be taken ; but the bench refused to lessen the rule; unless with the consent of 11 e prosecutors, which not being given, the rule men tioned by Mr. Stronge was settled. The prisoners were then remo ed. '' l l 4 i
