ST. THOMAS'S HOSPI7 AL. A gnarterly court of the governors of this hos pital was held yesterday at the Terminus Hotel, London-brirl ge , and, owing to the recent discus sions co7:4Cerning the future sit© of the new building, was more fully attended than usual. Sir J. Mus grave, the president, was in the chair. The clerk read the minutes of the special general court held on the 28th of October, when the resolu tion granting powers to the grand committee to se lect a site for the new hospital was passed ; and also the minutes of a meeting of the grand com mittee on the 11th inst., when, inter alia, the fol lowing resolution waP, adopted : " That, considering all the circumstances, with the very littportant duty of the purchase of a site for a new hospital, this committee is of opinion that the purchase should be conditional upon the ap proval of a general court to be summoned for that purpose." Mr. TITE, M.P., then rose, and said under ordi nary circumstances the simple motion would be to approve the minutes just read, but as there were some special features in one or two points he desired to say a few woods that the effect of the resolutions might be thoroughly understood. At the last general mo•eting it would be recollected that a reso lution was pas,,ed which authorised the grand com mittee to purchase a site for the tiny hospital, sub ject to the approval of the Court of Chancery and the Attorney-General. At that meeting it was distinctly stated that neither the treasurer nor, as he believed, any member of the grand committee had made up their minds as to any particular site. Ar. idea see;ned to have gone abroad that this re- Solution 'settled a foregone conclusion, but he would repeat, in the strongest terms for himself that he had not made up his mind as to any particular site, and he thought he might say for the grand com mittee that, although Wands worth might have been mentioned with other places, yet it had never been selected as the spot to be ultimately chosen by any one of them. It was a nni-take, therefore, to sup pose that the resolution of the 28th of October, de termined tlaeremoval of the hospital to Wandsworth common. Si:nce the resolution was passed the Grand Committee had met and adopted a resolution to the effect that after they should have carefully con sider:ed every suggestion that might be made to them, and every question as to the suitability of any site, having regard to economy, to the arrange ments and accommodation of the medical men and the medical school, before deciding upon the site that the approval of the governors generally should be inviter',, That resolution was intended to satisfy every one that the Grand Committee were sincere in their desire to act in accordance with the views of the governors. The Grand Committee had no object whatever in - view but that which every governor desired—the advantage and extended use fulness of the charity ; and, therefore, they wished to afford every governor an opportunity of hearing the reasons for the selection of any particular site at the proper time. (Hear.) That resolution had been communicated to a gentleman who took an active part at the last Court, but that gentleman it appeared was desirous of pressing his particular - views upon the governors. He would remind the Court that if they considered the Surrey -gardens the best site, nothing could be more injurious to the interests of the charity than to announce that opinion, as the prospects of making a good bargain would be greatly diminished if the sellers knew that the governors had fixed absolutely upon their property as the fitting site for the new hospital. Th:a Committee were desirous of avoiding delay, and wished to go on receiving and considering any sug gestions that might be made, and when they had come to a conclusion of the subject they would then come before the governors, and leave them to adopt or reject their recommendations. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman concluded by moving the confirms- ' tion of the minutes. Mr. Alderman FINNIs seconded the motion. Mr. ADAMS said he was glad to find that the course adopted on the 28th of October was not to be• persisted in. All the acts of the Grand Com mittee, by the by-laws, required the confirmation of a General Court, and he was glad to find the Grand Committee were inclined to return into the proper path. Mr. ELLIorr thought the question was too impor tant to be allowed to remain as it was. He had announced his intention of moving to rescind the resolution of the 28th of October, but his notice had not been entered upon the paper of business. The case was this :—Giving the Grand Committee cre dit for the most benevolent feelings towards the poor, the fact remained that their proceedings had not been orderly, or in accordance with the rules of the charity. Thus, according to rule 1, the re solution which was submitted to the Court three weeks since ought to have appeared upon the no tice paper sent to each governor, so that every one might have known that such a resolution would be proposed. (Hear, hear.) That resolution was therefore irregular, and he asked leave of the ehair roan to move that it be rescinded, although the strict notice of such motion had not been given. The PRESIDENT said he must deny that their proceedings had been disorderly. It was not the practice at the meeting of the governors to inFert upon the agenda paper all the proceedings of the Grand Committee. The motion of the hon. gover nor might not be strictly in order, but the Grand Committee would raise no objection to the motion being received as an amendment if the governors would permit it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ELLIOTT said he accepted with pleasure the Concessions that had been made, and should move that the resolution of October 28 be rescinded. In the present condition of their affairs he thought the governors should strongly express their opinions that nothing should be done as to the selection of a site coming before them, and also that the previous resolution of the 28th of October was irregular and illegal. (Hear.) It was required by one of their rules that all summonses be issued at least a week before each court day, and that notice of any spe cial business should be inserted in the summons, but in the summonses for the meeting three weeks since no notice of special business was inserted. (Hear, hear.) Without entering upon the question of site, or whether the resolution of the 28th of Oct. was wise or not, he asked the Court, for the sake of regularity and order, to rescind the resolution. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE seconded the amend ment, He said he had come prepared to pro test against the governors, who were acting under the solemn obligation of an oath, delegating their Powers and duties to any particular number of their body. (Hear, hear.) He was convinced that the former resolution t reso o lution was unsound, for, while he was - allow the Grand Committee to inquire into and. negotiate Ile did object for a site for the new hospital, and leavto tying the hands of the governors Chancing to the Attorney-General or the Court of ery th e i r committee, duty of controlling the acts of the Mr. Alderman able to arrive at ItAlus hoped that they would be thought the r esolution in this matter.

(N That was the import ant question, w hile hitherto they had only been discussing a question of form. Mr. Alderman COPELAND observed that h tere would be another opportunity for discuesing the question suggested by the rev. gentleman. No one thought of imputing improper motives to any mem ber of the Grand Committee. (Hear.) The PRESIDENT Said the solicitor of the charity was of opinion th,t the resolution of the 28th of October was regular. Mr. Alderman WILSON differed from th .t opinion —(hear, hear)—and thought it was clear that the rules of the charity had not been observed upon the occa sion referred to. The powers of the Grand Com mittee would not be impaired if the resolution were rescinded, because they would be able still to search for and fix upon a site which they might think best fitted for the purpose, and when they had fixed upon a site then a special meeting of the Governors could be called to decide upon it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman GABRIEL thought there had been irregularity. The CLERK remarked that the by-law that had been referred to applied to notices of motion upon the requisition of a certain number of governors, and not to meetings summoned in the ordinary manner. Mr. Alderman GABRIEL did not admire the dis tinction attempted to be drawn. Surely, handing over the selection of site to the Grand Committee was special business, and yet no notice of it was given in the summonses. (Hear, hear, and "No,") After some further discussion, Mr. TITS replied, and denied that the Grand Committee was a clique, as had been said of it ou t of doors. (" Question.") It did not consist of the treasurer and his three sons only, but of 40 gentle men. (" Question," and "Chair.") The commit tee were asked to give way, but others ought to give way too. It was proposed now to cure an alleged irregularity by an undoubted irregularity—a motion without due notice. The resolution of the Grand Committee insured to the governors an opportu nity of discussing the question of site, and he could not understand why the amendment should be pressed. If the meeting were adjourned for a week —("No, no !")—he thought a resolution might be drawn up that would meet the wishes of all parties. (" Divide.") The Court then divided, and the amendment for rescinding the resolution of October 28 wascarried by 47 against 28 votes. The minutes of the Grand Committee for November 11 were confirmed with the exception of that portion which referred to the resolution just rescinded. Mr. Alderman DAKIN urged the propriety of considering at once the question of removing the hospital to the country. Alderman CHALLIS wished it to be understood abroad that the Grand Committee had beforehand practically conceded all that had been required that day. The TREASURER (Mr. Baggallay) said, as it was necessary to intrust power to some persons, it would be folly to limit them to a particular area of choice, for if that were done the owners of property in the chosen district would be more difficult to deal with, and the funds of the charity would be unfavourably affected thereby. Mr. STEWART called attention to a resolution of the governors on the 4th of February, giving the Grand Committee power to seek for a site and to make arrangements. Mr. TITE remarked that that was before the pas sing of the Act of Parliament. The Grand Com mittee had control over the present hospital but for a limited period, and it should be left for them to find some proper site for the reconstruction of the Hospital. In conclusion, he moved a vote of thanks to the President. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The PRESIDENT, in returning thanks, said he could assure the governors that nothing would be done without the question of site being again brought before them, and a full opportunity being afforded for a consideration of all points connected with the subject. The Court then broke up. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court of Aldermen was holden yesterday at Guildhall, and, as this was the first Court of the present mayoralty, the Lord Mayor (Alderman Rose) and the sheriffs (Alderman J. C. Lawrence and Hugh Jones, Esq.), with the under-sheriffs (Messrs. Mackrell and Farrar), went in state from the Mansion-house. There was a full attendance of members of the Court, and among those present were Alderman Wilson, Alderman Humphery, Alderman Cope land, Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, Alderman Chal lis, Alderman Abbiss, Alderman Mechi, Alderman Allen, Alderman W. Lawrence, Alderman Belsey, and Alderman Gibbons. The LORD MAYOR, before the commencement of the ordinary business, addressed a few observa tions to the Court. He said that, in taking his seat for the first time in the distinguished position of presiding over that ancient and honourable Court, he was most anxious to convey the deep sense he entertained of the honour that had been conferred on him, and of the responsibility that accompanied his position. His task was rendered the more diffi. cult because for two years his post had been occu pied by one who had so well done his duty. (Hear, hear.) He would assure them, however, that all his powers should be taxed to give equal satisfac tion to that which had been given by his predeces sor, and he felt quite certain that he should have the assistance of his brother aldermen, and he trusted that this, coupled with his own intentions as to the performance of his duty, would not only enable him to give satisfaction to the Court and to the citizens of London, but that at the end of his year of office the institutions of the corporation of London would stand as well in the opinion of the public as they did at present. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff, LAWRENCE then pre sented a report as to the condition of the City prisons, by which it appeared there are at present confined in Newgate, 148 ; in the Debtors' Prison, Whitecross-street, 74 ; and at Holloway 404 pri soners. TILE LATE LORD MAYOR. Alderman WILSON rose, and said that, before the Court proceeded to dispose of the business on the paper, he had very great pleasure in proposing a resolution of thanks to the late Lord Mayor for the very efficient manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office. (Hear, hear.) He was cer tain that it was quite unnecessary for him to enter into any details sis to the mode in which the late Lord Mayor had discharged every d u ty th a t de volved upon him by virtue of holding that office; if if he were to do so it would only tend to detract from the vete which he felt quite certain they would award to him. (Hear, hear.) The Court was well aware of the arduous nature of the duties that he had been called upon to perform, but still after his ordinary period of office had expired he did not hesitate, when his fellow-citizens called upon him to do so, to continue to perform these arduous duties and he was afraid that by so doing his health had suffered to a very considerable extent. He would say no more, but would at once read the resolution to which he had referred, and he felt certain that it would be carried by an unanimous vote. The following resolution was then proposed : " That th e cordial thanks of this Court are emi nently due, and are hereby given, to the Right Honourable William Cubitt, late Lord Mayor of the City of London, for the dignified and efficient man ner in which he has discharged the duties of chief magistrate during his second mayoralty, and also for the punctuality with which he has fulfilled his magisterial functions. This court also feels much satisfaction in recording its approbation of the liberal support he has given to the charitable in stitutions of the country generally, and of the energetic course pursued by him in forwarding the interests of suffering humanity, and especi ally in presiding over the Mansion-house Com mittee for raising and distributing funds for the mitigation o f t h e severe di s t ress w hi c h ex i s t s a mong the operatives of the manufacturing districts. Tht.t t" Qourt is also desirous of expressing - its thanks tions, and al:: ftoorittshemeittriztkindness and courtesy he has shown ready acc ess he ha s to communicate they have required hi the Court also desires manner in which he ha s lpi express main tained the dignity and ii f w o hile . presiding over its dolibcra his liberal hospitality and the wi s th aff h o . rded to his fellow-citizens city of London, and their opinion duct As chief magistrate he has p n re e s y s e i r ta y occasion when hie advic e or assistance. That privilegesthatbh.ofthanks for the plre o l n d the occasions the justifiedythetscocre: THE SUN, LONDON WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1862, dente placed in him by his fellow-citizens when they elected him a second time to that important office," Alderman HIIMPIIERT said he was sorry that the senior member of the Court (Alderman Copeland) was not present at that moment, but in his absence it gave him very great satisfaction to second the resolution that had just been read to them. There could be no doubt that the late Lord Mayor had suffered considerably in his health by acceding to the wishes of his fellow•citizens in serving the office a second year; but he was certain that they would all join with him in the hope that he would speedily be restored to perfect health, and that in after years he would reflect with pleasure upon the incidents of his two years of office, and be solaced with the certainty that he had so performed his duty as to give satisfaction, not only to the citizens of London, but to the world at large. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put to the Court, and carried by acclamation, and upon the motion of Al derman WILSON, seconded by Alderman CHALLIS, it was carried that the resolution should be tran scribed, and signed by the Town Clerk, and pre sented to Mr. Alderman Cubitt ; and that it shall also be advertised in the usual newspapers. CHAPLAIN'S REPORT. The usual annual report of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the chaplain of Newgate, was presented to the Court, and upon the motion of Alderman Challis it was referred to the Gaol Committee, for them to consider whether it should be presented. An application for permission to store the inflam mable material known as petroleum in certain pre mises in the City was referred to the General pur poses Committee. CITY '3ROIIERS. Mr. Frederick Clerk and Mr. William Sheldrick were allowed as City brokers, and Mr. Walter Horner Brown and Mr. Stephen Nicolson Barber were discharged from that office. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. The Privileges Committee brought up a report recommending that the old and almost obsolete pre• cepts usually issued to the ward beadles on Lord Mayor's Day should be discontinued in future, and that a notice of the intended route of the procession should be sent to the aldermen of the different wards instead. The report was agreed to. The Court shortly afterwards aEljourned. CU l' SEWERS COMMISSION. Yesterday a numerously attended meeting of the members of this Commission was held at the Guild hall, under the presidency of Mr. de Jersey. Among the commissioners present were—Alderman Cope land, Deputies Bower, Harrison, Cork, Reed, Lott, Harker, Pewtress, C. Reed, Butler, Lorkin ; Messrs. George Walter, H. L. Taylor, Kebble, Dr. Abraham, I. T. Young, Humphreys, Houghton, Brass, Mur rell, C. Young, J. Waterlow, J. Symonds, T. Symonds, Saunders, Alcock, Blakesley, &c. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Among the petitions presented to the Court was one signed by a large number of the inhabitants of the ward of Langbourne, in reference to the recent order of the Court for the removal of projecting sign tablets erected at various premises in the city of London. It was urged by the petitioners that the tablets were a convenience, rather than otherwise, to the public, their use hav ing been admitted by the authorities of the Post Office and large public bodies, who had extensively used them throughout the metropolis. It was said that if the order of the Court for the removal of the tablets was carried out, the business of the petitioners and others would be seriously interfered with. Several of the petitioners attended before the Court and produced the tablets in respect of which the order for removal had been made. Deputy HARRISON observed that he should be very sorry to do anything to injure the business of the petitioners in any way whatever ; but if the in habitants of the city were permitted to place these sign tablets outside their premises wherever they pleased, a great nuisance would arise.in consequence. However, the matter was one of great importance, and he thought it better to refer it to a committee for inquiry and report before any decision was come to upon the application made that day. He would move the reference of the petition to the General Purposes Committee to examine and report. Mr. J. SYMONS seconded the motion, which was put and carried. THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY. The principal clerk, Mr. JOSEPH DAW, read a re port from the General Purposes Committee, towhom it was referred on the 14th Oct. last, to consider and report on the nature and condition of the gas con tracts for the ensuing year. The committee stated that they had had under their consideration the re sult of the es perimen ts,made by the order of the Court under the surveyor's direction, of meters attached to certain public lamps, and they had also had laid be fore them reports from the engineer and medical officer upon the subject. Having carefully considered the same, the committee recommended that, under the new contracts, to commence on the Ist February next, meters should be adopted, one to each lamp, to be at present limited to the district lighted by the Great Central Gas Company, and wherein car burators were applied to the lamps. (This district contains 1,770 lamps.) But should the Court desire to test the system on a smaller scale, it was the opinion of the committee that it should not be less than on 500 lamps. They also recommended that the meters should be contracted for by public ten ders, and be affixed without further delay to the lamps, and that the commissioners should undertake the lighting, cleansing, and repairing of the lamps within the district so to be supplied with gas by meter. The reports of the engineer to the Commission, Mr. W. Haywood, and the medical officer of health, upon the application of meters to the public- lamps, were added to the committee's report. The report of the first-named gentleman was somewhat lengthy, and gave minute details of the experiments made under his direction for testing the quality of the gas supplied to the public lamps, and that of Dr. Lethe by specially referred to the quality of the naphtha supplied to the carburators. The latter stated that, out of 18 samples of the liquid for the carburators submitted to examination, in one-sixth there was no naphtha whatever, but merely water, in the car burators, and in no instance was the naphtha of the quality necessary to give the desired increase of illuminating power to the gas ; for he (Dr. Letheby) had already ascertained that the naphtha should give at least 6.5 grains of volative hydro-carbon to each cubic foot of the gas to raise the illuminat ing power to the required standard of 30 per cant. above the ordinary quality. That this might be accomplished without difficulty or uncertainty was manifest from the fact that a gallon of the naphtha of proper strength would continuously supply about 6 . 5 grains of hydro-carbon to each cubic foot of 9,000 tunic feet of gas. Properly distributed, year,s therefore, a gallon and a half or two gallons of g oo d nap hth a s h ou ld b e su ffi c i e nt for a consumption of gas at each lamp. At pre sent, eu h ne o ns w agt e ii v ns e ef a r e , : t othrye and . Trh supply a w a o c d e e r fi cient, both in quality and qua n tit y , and therefore the results havingl ffi care fully considered a ll th e points bearing upon the subject, stated that they had come to the conclu sion that with the view of insuring the full amount fg l as contracted be effected in one for they wereof two o opinionwey e,name l y , that i ° coud o either by the direct and nightly examination of the quality of gas actually issuing from various bur ners, or by affixing a meter to each lamp. Both of these would be attended with expense ; the former with some expense and also with somewhat uncer tain results, inasmuch as averages would have to be relied upon ; and they thought the second method would be the least expensive and the most reliable. It was probable also, that the rental of a meter to each lamp, if provided and maintained by contract, would not be a considerable annual charge; indeed evidence had of late years been adduced, both actually and inferentially, to show that economy in the consumption of gas would in this way result; but, above all, it would set at rest the doubts which now prevailed in respect of the quantity of gas sup pliedto the lamps, and so far the adoption of the plan would be satisfactory. Under such an ar- Irangement this Commission should undertake the entire charge of their lamps, including the9ight ing and extinguishing the same. They could call upon the companies to supply any given quantity of gas per hour to the public lamps, and would be enabled to adopt without hindrance any improve , ment in respect of burners or other contrivances that science or experienee might hereafter sug gest as a means of increasing the power of light and economising the consumption of gas. As regarded the carburating process at the pub lic lamps, judging from the experiments already made, they had no doubt whatever that it might be successfully applied if the proper amount of go:3 was afforded, and a due supply of naphtha, of a proper quality, was given; and under these two conditions a considerable saving might be effected in the cost of public lighting. But it was of the utmost importance, as regarded the success of the process, that more precise arrangements should be adopted for the proper maintenance of the proper quantity and quality of naphtha in the caiburators than had hitherto existed. Dr. ABRAHAM moved the adoption of the report of the General Purposes Committee, but he at the same time expressed a regret that they bad been so excessively cautious in their recommendation, that the gas supplied to the City should not be burned by meter ; for that this was the only fair mode of supply as between the commission on behalf of the public on the one hand, and the gas companies on the other. This system was not a new one. It had been adopted for years past in several Lancashire towns. In Scotland, also, it had been carried out successfully, and therefore he said there was no need for the commission to take the question up as if they were asked merely to try an experiment. It had been adopted for years past at Plymouth, St. Ives, Worthing, Torquay, Leicester, Lincoln, and other places. Surely then in London where coals were certainly not dearer, and coke was more valuable than at:those places, and where there was a much larger consumption of gas than at any of the towns mentioned, the system could be carried out with equally satisfactory results. He would just read to them the opinion of a practical man upon the sub ject who was quoted by Mr. Hughes in his pam phlet upon this question. He said—" The gas com panies know that it is utterly impossible, and pub lic authorities know equally well that it is utterly impossible, to insure a uniform supply of gas to one tenth part of the street lamps during the whole period between lighting and putting them out." He (Dr. Abraham) thought the commission should not hesitate for a moment to adopt the plan of burn ing gas supplied to the public lamps by meter, feel ing assured that it would in all respects answer. After some observations by Deputy Harrison, Mr. Young, and Mr. Saunders, the recommendation of the committee was agreed to. THE ILLUMINATING POWER or TIIE GAS SUPPLIED TO THE CITY. Dr. LETIIEBY presented his report on the illumi nating power of the gas supplied to the city of London, during the autumn quarter, by the Great Central, the Chartered, and the Commercial Com panies. The gas had been tested in accordance with the instructions of the Metropolis Gas Act of 1860. It had been tested at two places, namely, at the London Hospital and at Finsbury-square, and 325 examinations had been made. The results were that the mean illuminating power of the Great Central Gas was equal to 13.34 sperm candles of standard quality ; that of the Chartered to 13.78 _ . . candles; and that of the Commercial to 13.02. The weekly average of the Great Central had ranged from 12.35 candles to 14.60 ; those of the Chartered from 12.69 to 14.93; and those of the Commercial from 12 41 to 13.85. The difference in the mean illuminating power of the Great Central Gas at the two places where it had been tested, namely, at Finsbury-square and at the London Hospital, which were nearly two miles apart, differed only to the extent of 0.42 of a candle; and as the largest ave rage (13.55) was at Finsbury square, it was mani fest that the difference was accidental. The results indicate that the gas supplied to the City by the three companies have not, during any week, been below the standard quality, and that the quarterly averages have been from 8.5 to 15 per cent. above it. The former is the excess ef the Commercial average, and the latter that of the Chartered, that of the Great Central having been 13 per cent. over the standard. Last year at this time the quarterly average of the Great Central was only 12.16 sperm candles, and the mean illuminat ing power of that gas for the corresponding quar ter of the last seven years has been 12.55 candles. The quality of the gas is therefore improving. SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, re ported on the state of 346 houses that had been in spected since the last meeting of the commission, and he submitted a list of 77 places for sanatory improvement. He likewise reported that the mar kets and slaughter-houses of the City had been duly inspected, and the officers had seized 11,2011b5, or five tons of meat, and 131 head of game and poul try, as unfit for human food. It consisted of 28 sheep, 5 calves, 36 pigs, 71 quarters of beef, and 37 joints of meat; 9,3291b5. were diseased, 5041 b. were from animals that had died from disease or accident, and the rest was putrid. All of it was destroyed at the boiler. On Thursday last William Cole, a job bing butcher of Newgate-market, was summoned for exposing a diseased pig for sale as human food, and he was fined 40s. and costs. He stated that he had purchased it at 2d. per lb. of Mr. Bongoes foreman, and the magistrate expressed an opinion that Mr. Bonsor, or his foreman, should also be proceeded against. The mortality returns for the last fortnight are a little above the average for the season. 119 deaths were returned instead of 114, which is the average number for the corresponding period of the last seven years. 48, or nearly half of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 29 were among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death ws:—Phthisis 12, mesen teric disease 7, were pneumonia as fo l los bronchitis 9, continued fever 5, scarlet fever 9 , croup and diphtheria 3, measles 6, whooping cough 1, and infantile diarrhoea 4, making together 19 deaths from tubercular dis eases, 29 from inflammatory affections of the lungs, and 28 from diseases of the zymotic class. The court then adjourned. that the late Sir George liowyer died on the Ist of July, 1860, and by his will appointed the- defend ant his sole execator. The father of the applicant had advanced the late Sir Geo. Bowyer £1,300 on t he security of bonds, but neither the principal nor the interest had been paid up to the present time. The testatcr bad resided abroad, and there were no means of recoveri2g the money he owed, and his son had not administered. The Court granted the application. WALLACE V. VALLACT. to this case, which was heard before the Judge Ordinary on te 12th inst., the wife obtained a de cree of judicial sepat'ation from her husband, a non practising member of the legal profession, who re sides at Fisherton, near Salisbury. There was one child, a daughter, issue of the marriage, and the court, from the grossly profligate conduct of the respondent, acceeded to the application of the p-titioner's counsel that she would remain in the custody of the mother until further orders. The Queen's Advocate, on the part of the peti tioner, applied to the court to decree alimony to the wife to the amount of £l5O a year, taking into con sideration that she had the custody of the child. Mr. Day, counsel for the respondent, suggested that the mother might not be made the permanent custodian of the child, and, therefore, that until the future guardianship wa , determined le court ought not to make any final order. Sir C. Cresswell said, from the evidence as to the conduct of the lather, that he had not the slightest intention of giving the child into his cus tody, and he would make an order for permanent alimony at the rate of £l5O a year, to be paid quarterly. The Queen's Advocate then said that he had to apply to the Court for an order giving the custody of the child to the petitioner. Mr. Day said he hoped the Court would not make this order, as his client was anxious to have an opportunity of meeting the scandalous charges that had been made against him. He com plained that the respondent had not been fur nished by the other side with the affidavits which had been filed on behalf of the petitioner in time to enable him to defend himself properly. Sir C. Cresswell said that he would accede to the application of the learned counsel respecting an order for the custody of the child, as there did appear to he some delay in upplying the respondent with affi davits. He was also induced to postpone the order, taking into consideration that the respondent might desire to have access to his child. He would con sent to allow him to have such access, if arrange ments could be made between counsel as to the cir cumstances under which he was to see the child. If, however, anything improper was proved on be half of the respondent, the Court would put an end to any further interview between him and the child. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 18. (Before Mr. Payne.) ROBBERY PROM THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Jahn Lewis, 32, wheelwright, was indicted for stealing five books, the property of the Great Northern Railway Company. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Montague Williams defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday, the Ist Nov., a parcel of books was sent from Mr. Parker's, bookseller, Strand, to the Ship, at Charing cross, to be forwarded to Miss Mayfield, at South gate, by the Great Northern Railway. The guard of the train on the Great Northern Railway proved receiving the parcel at the King's-cross station, and he put it out at the Southgate station, and called the attention of the porter on duty to it. While the porter was collecting the tickets his attention was taken off the parcel for a few minutes. After he had collected the tickets he missed the parcel, and immediately went towards the Railway Hotel, and on his way picked up the pay-biil. He went on, and overtook the prisoner, and he then saw the parcel projecting from under his coat. He said he picked it up. A passenger by the train saw the prisoner pick up the parcei, put it under his coat, and go away with it. The prisoner was then given into custody. Mr. Montague Williams addressed the jury for the prisoner, but they found him guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced him to be imprisoned for six months. DEFRAUDING A BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. William Pike, 43, painter, was indicted for felo• niously embezzling the sums of .£3 12s. ld. and Bs. Bd., received by him for and on account of Thomas Adams and (Milers, his masters. Mr. Orridge prosecuted and Mr. Besley appeared for the defendant It appeared that the prisoner was secretary of the Amalgamated Association of Operative House Painters, a society instituted for the purpose of affording to its members and their wives assist ance in the time of sickness, and to facilitate the obtaining of employment, having branches from the central society established in different parts of the kingdom. In his capacity of secretary he received from Brighton £3 12s. ld. on account of the asso ciation, and a sum of 8s Bd. from Surbiton, which were not accounted for. The prisoner's defalcations having been discovered he was for some time out of the way, but was at length found and committed on this charge. Mr. Besley addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner with his usual ability. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Assistant Judge said this was an important case, and he should postpone his judgment until next session. LATV INTELLIGENCE, Nov, 18. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell,.) IN RE HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE THE THIRD. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Mrs. Ryves applied to the Court some time back to be permitted to establish her legitimacy as the daughter of Mrs. Serres, who had claimed to be the Princess Olive, the lawful child of his Royal High ness the Duke of Cumberland, brother of King George 111. Mrs. Ryves succeeded in proving her legitimacy before the Court. The object of the lady was to enable her to inherit the property left by George the Third to her grandfather, and also a sum of £15,000 bequeathed by his Majesty to her mother. A suit had been instituted by the latter in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury for the pur pose of proving the will in question ; but Sir John Nicholl, the judge of that court, decided that he had no jurisdiction in the case, the will being that of a Sovereign. Mr. Gibbon, on behalf of Mrs. Ryves, now moved the Court to issue a citation directing that the Duke of Wellington and the Attorney-General to appear in the proceedings to enable her to prove the will. The learned counsel said that the testament was under the sign manual of George the Third, and that the present Duke of Wellington, as the heir of his father, stood in the position of his executor. King George the Fourth succeeded to the estate of his father,. and the late Duke of Wellington had been appointed his executor. Sir C. Cresswell—You do not show that the pre sent Duke of Wellington is executor of his father — he is merely administrator. Mr. Gibbon said that such being the case he would limit his motion merely to the citation of the At torney-General as being a party interested on behalf'of the Crown. Sir C. Crtsswell—ln 1822 this case was disposed of by Sir John Nicholl, the learned Judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. I should feel very much disi nc li ne d to reverse any dec i s i on of that judge, and I con s id er that th i s Court has n o juris diction in the matter. The motion was accordingly refused. WYATT V. SIR G. BOWYER, BART., M.P. In this case Mr. Harvey Wyatt, as representativ e of his father, applied for an order directing letters of administration to the effects of the late Sir George Bowyer to issue to him as a creditor. Dr. Middleton, in support of the application, said CHARGE OF RAPE. William Handley, a respectable-loosing young man, about 30 years of age, in business with his father, an undertaker, in the Waterloo-road, was indicted for assaulting with intent to commit a rape on Ann Sarah Hodges, living with her parents in Brighton-place, Waterloo-road. Mr. Lilly, instructed by the Associate Institute for the Protection of Women and Children, prose cuted, and Me. Robinson, instructed by Mr. Edwin, defended the prisoner. The Court was densely crowded by a large num ber of tradesmen from the neighbourhood in which the parties reside. The prosecutrix, a modest-looking young girl, said that she was fourteen years old. She knew the prisoner, who lived in Agnes-street, Waterloo-road, near her father's. She also knew the daughter of the prisoner, and about five o'clock on the evening of the 3d inst. she went to the prisoner's to take tea with his daughter. When she got there she went into the kitchen and saw the prisoner's house keeper and his daughter. In about half an hour the prisoner came in and sent his housekeeper up stairs to change her dress, and his daughter was sent to get some water-eresses for tea. Directly they were gone the prisoner took her roughly by the wrists and asked her to sit in his lap. She re sisted and told him not to pull her about, and got back to her seat again. He took hold of her again by the wrists and pulled her towards him. He then pulled up her clothes and attempted the offence mentioned in the indictment. She tried to get away and tried to scream, but could not, as she thought she was choking. She told him she should tell her mother, and after that he let her go, and when she was going upstairs to put on her things the prisoner pulled her down, and told her she should not go until she had some tea. A knock was heard at the door, and on the prisoner's daugh ter coming in she asked witness what she was cry ing for. Witness did not tell her, but threatened to tell the housekeeper, when the prisoner ex claimed, " Oh, for God's sake, don't do that and expose my family." She then went upstairs and told the housekeeper what had happened, and im mediately left the house and proceeded home. She then told her mot her what had occurred, and after wards went with her and her father to the station hotme. The prisoner was then charged with the offence, The mother of the girl gave evidence corrobo rative of her testimony as to her complaining of the prisoner's conduct as soon as she came home, and they went to the house of the prisoner's father in the Waterloo-road. While there the prisoner came in, and said he had been playing with the little girl. Witness then gave him into custody. Mr. Constable, assistant to Dr. Wakem, said he examined the child, and although there were slight abrasions of the skin the capital offence had not been committed. Other evidence was given, when Mr. Robinson addressed the jury at some length on behalf of the prisoner, contending that all th© prisoner did was what any other father of a family would do who was fond of children, and the story about the indecent conduct was trumped up against him. The child's story was all a fabrication, from first to last, as it was not likely that the father of a family in such a respectable position should conduct himself as had been described. The learned counsel alluded to Ehe Case of the Rev. Mr. Hatch, and begged the jury to be extremely careful before they convicted in such a case. Ho called Mrs. Sebbon, the housekeeper to the prisoner, who said she had two rooms in his house. She re collected the complainant coming to the house, and the prisoner entered and told her he was in no hurry for tea. She went to dress, and while there the complainant said she wanted to go. She never com plained about Mr. Handley, and the latter never made use of the expressions alleged by the com plainant. She had always found Mr. Handley a very exemplary man, and a good father to his children. A vast number of highly respectable tradesmen were called, and they gave the prisoner one of the first of characters. Mr. Lijey replied, and the Chairman having i i summed up in a careful manner, the jury retired to consider their verdict. After an absence of two hours, at seven o'clock the Jury returned into Court with a verdict of Acquittal. The verdict was received with vociferous cheering, which was at once checked by the officers of the court. The accused was at once liberated, and left the Court with his friends. SURREY SESSIONS, Nov. 18. (Before Mr. J. E. Johnson.) Wm. Vowler, 35, was placed at the bar for felo niously stealing 17 yards of cocoanut fibre matting, the property of the Crystal Palace Company. Mr. Thompson prosecuted, Mr. Lilley defended. The evidence showed that similar matting to that in question had been stored in the above deposit of the company, near which the prisoner, who is a car rier, had been seen with his cart on the 6th Nov. A policeman saw a roll of matting on the top of the prisoner's cart as he went away, at 6 o'clock IA the evening, and on asking where he got it, he replied that he picked it up at the Gipsy-:till station. lt, however, appeared that oak and oth e r leaves are frequently blown into the deposit room, and in the open roll part of the matting such leaves were found. Mr. Lilley urged with great force that the case was one not sufficiently brought home to the pri soner, who said that he had told the policeman the truth, and had offered to give it up to whoever it belonged to. In this view the jury evidently concurred, as they at once acquitted the prisoner. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A CHARWOMAN—SINGULAR CASE. Esther Newman, 23, married, was indicted for feloniously stealing a sovereign, the property of W. T. Langley, a salesman at the Borough Market. Mr. H. Sharpe prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson defended. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the occasional service of the prosecutor as charwoman, and money having been missed from time to time suspicion rested upon her. A few sovereigns were marked, one of which having been missed, a police constable was sent for, and the prisoner taken into custody. A man named Alfred Page, who saw the prisoner go to the water-closet, searched that place with Policeman 291 M, and the marked sovereign was found on a beam over the door. The money was identified as that marked by the prosecutor and put into the box from which it was missed. Mr. Thompson contended that there was no evi dence against the prisoner beyond mere suspicion upon the most flimsy grounds, and called several witnesses, who gave her an excellent character. The jury were locked up several hours en Mon day night, and ultimately were discharged, without giving any verdict. She wilt be tried again, but most probably not until the next sessions. ALLEGED FORGERY AND CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD. Ferdinand Arthur Newman alias Niomaun, a re spectable looking, middle-aged bald-headed man, of sallow complexion, and wearing Dundreary whiskers, described as a merchant, of 48, Coleshill street, Pimlico, was placed at the bar of Guildhall, yesterday, before Alderman Besley, charged with the following alleged conspiracy to defraud, and with feloniously uttering a forged bill of exchange for £l2O. Mr. Beard conducted the defence. _ Mr. Albert Turner, for the prosecution, said he appeared on behalf of Mr. Walton, a manufacturer, of Bradford, in Yorkshire, who had had very large transactions with the prisoner and a person of the name of Richard Pearson, not yet in custody. amounting in the whole to £1,329. The transac tions commenced in June last, and extended up to the latter part of August, during which period the only cash his unfortunate client had received from them was an amount of £250. He then detailed the case as it afterwards appeared in evidence. Jeremiah Walton said—l am a manufacturer, carrying on business at Bradford, in Yorkshire. Between the 3d of June last and the 29th of the fol lowing August I sold goods to Richard Pearson, of Noble-street, to the amount of £1,329 17s. Bd., and I have received from him £252 10s. on account of those sales. The terms were for cash at a month or five weeks. About the middle of July I found that Pearson was not a position to make good his promised payments. At that time his account showed a balance due to me of upwards of £4OO, and it was then he introduced Newman to me. We met at the Bowling Green Hotel, at Brad ford, and Pearson represented Newman to me as a gentleman of great means. He had pre viously told me that Newman owed him £5OO, and asked Newman if that was not the fact. Newman replied that it was, and added that he would let him have it in a week or two. Newman then told me that he was a shipper, and had a very large quantity of money coming from abroad, and that I need not be afraid of trusting Pearson then, as he (Newman) would see me all right. In consequence of those represeotations 1 let Pearson have other goods to the value of £9OO. Newman came twice with Pearson to my place to sort the goods out. Mr. Martin (chief clerk)—When was that ? Witness—That was after the conversation I have repeated took place. When I found a difficulty in betting cash Newman told Pearson to draw me out a cheque for £lOO. Mr. Martin—About what time was that? Witness—About the latter end of August or the early part of September. I pressed them for money and got the cheque which Pearson drew out and dated forward a week. I paid the cheque away, but I know it was presented and dishonoured. It was drawn on a London bank. I think the London and Westminster Bank. _ _ Mr. Beard objected to any evidence in reference to the cheque without its being produced. Witness—The cheque is destroyed. I destroyed it in the prisoner's presence after I got the bills of exchange from Pearson while at Leeds. Mr. Martin—Was this bill for £l2O among those bills ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Martin—Had the prisoner anything to do with giving you the bills ? Witness—No, sir ; but I had an interview with the prisoner and Pearson about three weeks ago, in reference to these bills. I first saw Pearson and a person of the name of Murgatroyd, and as soon as I went into the hotel where I met them I began about wanting money. Newman was at Bradford at the time, but I did not see him just then. I spoke to Pearson about the bill of exchange, and called his attention to the three which did not bear Newman's endorsement. He said they ought all to have been endorsed by Ne roman, as he had them from him, and that he was down yonder in the town and would sign them. He also said they were at Brad ford on that occasion for the purpose of getting some bills discounted to the amount of £625. I after wards on the same day had an interview with Pear son and Newman at the Junction Hotel, at Brad ford. I put the three bills on the table, end told Newman that Pearson had said he got the bills of him, and he had a right to endorse them. Pearson then made a remark to the same effect, but Newman did not reply to either of us. I left the bills on the table, and after a lapse of 40 minutes I went out for pen and ink, and when I came back I heard Pear son and Newman talking together. Pearson said " It is your duty to sign them, I got them of you," and Newman replied that he believed 1 was con cerned in preventing him getting some other bills discounted, and he would not therefore endorse the three bills in question. I have not seen Newman since, until he was taken into custody. Whenever Pearson spoke of Newman, which he frequently did, he represented him as a man of great wealth. Cross-examined—l have only known Pearson about 12 months. The first transaction I had with him was on the 3d of June, and I had only seen him once before in Bradford. Mr. Auguste Lorck said—l am a foreign agent, carrying on business at 2, Dunster-court, Mincing lane. I know nothing of the bill produced for £l2O drawn in my name, and accepted by Richard Pear son. The signature is not in my handwriting, neither has it been written by my authority. It is not even like my writing. I do not know either the prisoner or Pearson. There is no person of my name at the address on the bill but myself. John Anthony Johnson said—l am a woollen agent. I was engaged by the prisoner on the 7th of August last to buy goods for him in Pearson's name. fie gave me £5 to pay my expenses down to Leeds and Bradford. Mr. Alderman Besley—Did yon succeed in buying any goods in Pearson's name ? Witness—Yes, sir, and so did Pearson, for he was with me at the time. Did you buy any large quantity ? amount of about £l,OOO or £1,500. Yes, sir, to the Did you pay for any of them ?—No, sir. Do you mean to say that you went down and bought goods amounting to £l,OOO or £1,500 with out paying any money for them, and without any introduction ?—Yes, sir, because I have been w e ll a known in the market for man y y ears. Newman t o ld me he wanted 10,000 blankets for Garibaldi's army, and that was t he reason I was sent pl d lhv oywe down er s o been to buy in on ac count goods. C ross -examined —l left my last ern of a dispute about some money. trouble before. I was charged with writing a name to an order without authority. It was not a charge of forgery. The grand jury threw out the bill of indictment, and I was acquitted. Charles .Murgatroyd s Flradford. I know Richard Pearson, am an agent, arson, of 6, Noble , street. I also know the prisoner at the bar. They inquired of me where they could get represented that Newman had plenty of gooL is. Pearson m oney, a . nd would be able to do a good business in the si. lll PPi n g trade. I got orders accepted for them for goon is to the amount of £252 10s. Cross-examined—Messrs. Ellis's acceptance, bear ing Sutcliffe's name, are now in the hands of Mr. Dawson, Messrs. Ellis's solicitor. They were given up to him at the request of Messrs. Ellis, because' the prisoner had threatened to lock me and Mr. Walton up for taking them. Mr. Beard said he would prove tbat his client really was a man of means, and that they tried to) do him out of £5OO or £6OO worth of bills. Chas. Baker, a detective officer of the City force, said—When I apprehended the prisoner and told him the charge, he turned round, and pointing to the prosecutor, said, "This man stole a bill of mine for £500." Edward Hancock, another officer, said—The pri soner complained of being ill, and asked permission for a friend to accompany him in the cab ; on the way to the station I saw him passing something be hind his back to his friend, who put in his pocket. At the station the prisoner wa s searched, when a meta watch and chain and 245. were found upon him. I then requested the friebd to deliver up to me what he had, and he gave me the letters and papers produced. Mr. Turner read several of the letters, which ap peared to have been written by Pearson, ask ing for small sums of money, and describing his progress in the country , bu t as the y were not n_iate rial to the charge beyond showing the connection between Newman and Pearson , t he y were not put l in as evidence. Mr. Beard said his friend Mr. Turner had made the most of his case so far as it went, but he had only proved just what his client never intended to deny. He admitted having had transactions with these parties, but it did not necessarily follow that he was aware of the character of the bil l u p on which the charge of uttering a forgery was founded —and with regard to the prisoner's position he would show not only that he was a man of good means, but that he had his books to show he had had transactions in business to a very large amount, without even a single dishonoured bill against him. The fact was Pearson had bought these goods, for which bills of exchange, which were still running, had been given, so that the charge of fraud was altogether premature; but if there were a case against Pearson there was nothing to implicate his client in the fraudulent obtaining of these goods. His refusal to endorse the bills was the best evidence that he did not give them to Pearson, who was now out of the way to a void a similar charge, and the witness Johnson, who had been called to connect him with Newman, was unworthy" of credit. Take his own evidence, without reference to his own previous trouble, and upon that alone be ought to have been placed in the dock as an accoro , plice, if any offence at all had been committed. Newman denied ever having employed that man (Johnson) ; that he gave the endorsed bills to Pear son ; that he was aware of the character of the forged bill when placed upon the table with the others as described ; or that he partic.w pated in any way in the offence alleged against Pearson, and, in the absence of evidence to the con trary, he asked the worthy alderman to discharge his client. Mr. Alderman Besley said it struck him there was a strong prima facie case to justify him in an' ceding to the request for a remand. He could not overlook the fact that Newman was introduced to Mr. Walton by Pearson as a man of great means , at a time when Pearson's account was only £4O O , and through Newman's influence that account was at once increased to £1,300. Newman was seen throughout all these transactions, and he could not therefore discharge him without some further inves tigation. It was a mercantile case, and therefore of great importance to the mercantile community. Mr. Beard asked if bail would be accepted. Mr. Alderman Besley said he should not feel jus tified in accepting bail at present. COUNTRY ------ - LEEDS—TUESDAY.
