j4A3Y__.INTELLIGENCE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AUG. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) _ IN ltE DAVID HUGHES Mr. Nelson, of the firm of Lawless and Nelsof, solicitors for the assignees under the above bankruptcy, applied fur an order directing the official assignee (there ,being no trade assig tees yet appointed) to empower soMe person, by warrant of attorney, to proceed immediately to Australia (the deitina tion of the bankrupt), for the purpose of seizing any pro perty which may be found upon him %lien he arrives then/. The Commissioner asked that proceedings had been taken in this matter ? Mr. Nelson replied that adjudication of bankruptcy had been made against Hughes, and that that adjudication had been disputed, but confitined. The Commissioner desired to know why the present at,pli cation had not been made at the time of the bearing of the disputed adjudication ? Mr. Nelson replied that it was impossible then to discover that the bankrupt had absconded with sufficient property to warraiat the employment of a detective, cr that course would hive been adureed. It had, however, been ascertained that the bankrupt would have at least £3OO with him upon his arrival in Australia. The Commissioner —But he has been gone some time, has he not ? Will you not be too late ? Mr. Nelson replied that the Australian mail steamer was going to start in a few bours, and it was expected that it would art ive in Australia before the Red Jacket, the vessel in which the bankrupt had decamped. His Honour then granted the application. IN RE HENRY HALL AND CHESLYN HALL. The bankrupts were the solicitors o f N ew B oswe ll -cour t , whose cas e not long since excited some p u bli c a tt en ti on . Mr. Froome now applied to the Court for leave to ex slime witnesses under the following circumstances. The father of the bankrupts was a trustee for a Mr. Cunliffe, de ceased. Upon his death he devised the trust to his sons. Tbey became defaulting trustees to the amount of /3,000. that sum having been proved against the bankrupts' estate. Upon this being dixovered, an application was made to the Court of Chancery for the appointment of new trustees, and they were. accordingly appointed, the bankrupts being directed to give up all the deeds, Papers, &c., relating to the estate. In obedience to this order the bankrupts had delivered up several deed; to the new trustees, and had made an affidavit that they were all they prasessed. Upon being examined, however, it was found that several were missing. The inquiry was induced from one estate, the Ravenbill estate, having been sold, and the sale proving inopera.ive, in consequence of a defect in the title. There were beshies other estates at Colne, which were advertised for sale in September next, and which were valued at between £7,000 and £B,OOO. With res:bect to the tatter it was hoped that a sufficiently good title might be made out to satisfy any purchaser, but still it would be very desirable if some deeds, supposed to be among those that were missing, and which it was ascer tained bad been executed between 1791 and 1820, could be produced. In accordaeee, therefore, with this object, the deeds in question had been advertised. Mr. John Holland, a dealer in waste paper, having seen the advertisement, and observing that it applied to the name of Cunliffe, immediately repaired to the office of Mr. Froorne in Lincoln's-inn- fields with the deeds now produced. Upon being asked how,he hal obtained them he stated that he had purchased them in the ordinary course of his business from Mr. Peake, a cheesemonger in Fetter lane, with a quantity of waste paper ; but at the time be purchased the paper in question he was unaware that the deeds were amongst it. The deeds were very valuable, especially that of 1791, inasmuch as it might lead to the di.:- covery of others which were still missing. He (Mr. Froome) therefore desired to examine Mr. Peake for the purpose of ascertaining bow he had obtained possession of these deeds. Mr. Peake was then examined. and said—l have several times purchased waste paper from the same person of whom I bought this ; he is a man who wears a kind of fustian coat, and has always signed his receipts in the name of A. Linton. I know nothing of the man beyond having made a few pur chases of him in this manner, but I should know him again if I saw him. _ - Mr. Froome—The waste paper in which the deeds were found weighed 6 cwt. Mr. Peake—The deeds might as well have been bank notes as far as I was concerned, so little did I imagine what was in- the paper I bought, and which I sold to Mr. Holland. It would give roe the greatest pleasure to give you every information in my power; but what I have stated is really all that I know of the matter. It having been found upon reference to the deeds that tin bore the name of Entwisle, Mr. Pleas (who appeared as solicitor of the assignees under the bankruptcy of the Halls to watch the proceedings) —Entwisle ! That is the name of a clerk in the employ ment of the bankrupts. The Commissioner—Well, now that you have a clue yin will be able to follow it up and discover the rest of the deeds. Some discussion ensued, during which it app.ared tha. during the progress of a petition for private arrangemet.t the bankrupts had been pertnitte t to carryon their business, and that Entwisle bad acted for them in a variety of ways. Mr. Plews said he had no doubt that Entwisle, whose ad dress he could obtain, would give every possible informa tion. Mr. Holland said he had frequently discovered briefs, deeds, and other valuable papers in the waste paper hepur chased from solicitors' offices; that in some instances they were worthless, but they were sometimes otherwise. He had purchased the papers in question from Mr. Peake, as had been stated, and had give❑ every iotbrmation in his power upon discovering from the advertisement that they were valuable. Mr. Froome said the bankrupts had stated that a Mr. Rymer was the hold-r of some of Mr. Cunliffe's deeds ; some bad certainly been obtained from Mr. Rymer, but be, like the bankrupts, was now out of the jurisdiction of the Court. His Honour expressed a hope that the informatien already elicited would lead to the discovery of the whole of the deeds. IN RE BAYLIS. This was an examination meeting in the case of J. Baylis, a cape and lace manufacturer, of Carey-lane, Norwich. Mr. L'ete appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Linklater for the bankrupt. Mr. Linklater said this was a cage in which bankruptcy should never have taken place, as the bankrupt bad never been a trader. The Commissioner—l have nothing to do with that. If he bas been made a bankrupt wrongly be must apply to another Court for relief. Mr. Linklater said he was not disposed to do so, as be had already signed a censent to the adjudication. As the accounts had not been filed he proposed an adjournment till the return of Mr. Commissioner Goulbarn, to whom the case properly belonged. Mr. Leete, for the assignees, had no objection to the adjournment provided the bankrupt gave up his books, which be bad not hitherto done. Mr. Linklater said there was but one hook, and that con tained the amounts received from Sir William Foster for the purpose of carrying on the business with respect to which Baylis was made bankrupt. The business belonged in truth to Sir William Faster, and Baylis was merely his agent. The Commissioner—Who is Sir Wm. Foster ? Mr. Linklater—A solicitor carrying on business at Nor wich; he is also engaged in other businesses. The Commissioner—Then the bankrupt is merely a ser vant 7 _ Mr. Linklater—Just so, sir. Mr. Leete—So they contend. The Commissioner—The question Is whether the creditors knew be occupied that position. Mr. Leete—We say they did not. Mr. Linklater—We have no objection to give the as signees every facility, but if we give the book I have men tioned it must be returned, because it is not the bankrupt's property. The Commissioner —Not the bankrupt's property Mr. Linklater—No, sir. It is the property _of Sir Wm. Foster. The Commissioner —The question is not what is his pro perty, but what appeared to be his property. If he was bolding himself out to the world as an independent person, telling no one of this Sir Wm. Foster, and his connection with him as agent, why, he cannot now turn round and say, "I am nobody," or " I only represent Sir Win. Foster." Mr. Lialtlater—The business was carried on in the name of " Baylis and Co." The Commissioner—That is the very case I am putting. What business had he to call himself Baylis and Co. The creditors have a tight to take possession of avfrything be longing, or apparently belon2iog, to Baylis and Co. Mr. Linkl 'ter—As far as Mr. Baylis is concerned be can have no objection to give up ever ythi n g. Time c) omuiissioner—Do you appear fir Sir Wm. Foster? Mr. Linklater—No, sir. The Commissioner—Then why trouble yourself about him ? A proof was then tendered by a creditor, to which Mr. Linklater objected, on the ground th a t B ay li s was not liable. _ _ _ The Commissioner held that beire accep'ance by Baylis under the name of Baylis and Co., he was liable. Mr. Leete sari Chancery proceedings had been com menced against Sir William Foster, but it was said the bankrupt would arrange with the assignees. The Commissioner—Do the assignees wish the matter to be adjourned? Mr. Leete said they wished the adjournment to be con dilionul open the production of the book mentioned. The Commissioner would not grant a conditional adjourr ran t. Mr. Lioklater said the book should he titliveed np. The Commissioner—lt is the duty of the assignees In seize everything belonging to the baukrupr, and they ought to have seized alt tt ese things without inquiring to whom they bilonped. Bnylis neve r proc l aimed himself as Sir William Foster's agent. The assignees have their war rant, and they must use it. An adjournment was then ordered. IN RE WESTROP. This was a sitting for the choice of assignees in the case. of J. Westrop, a gl,ye manufacturer of Sfaining-lane. A preliminary statement by Messrs. Hart Brothers shows : Creditors, £19,500; those holding security, £4,424; pro perty held by creditors, £4,859; debtors, .€388; and pro pel ty, about £B,OOO. It Pppeared that the bankrupt had been bankrupt before, his bankruptcy being superseded a few months ago; bu►, finding himself unable to carry out the arrangPments under which he succeeded in superseding, he was obliged to come again to the court. Mr. Allen, a manafaeture►, of Norwich ; and Mr. White, warehouseman, of Cheapside, were ct•osen assignees. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.— Auc. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillip..) The learned Cotnmis,ioner sat for hail case.; and motions. The next bail day is appointed for Monday week. IN RE THOMAS CORBEY—SINGULAR CASE. TiAld was an application for a discharge on bail. The in solvent had filed a petition under the Protection Act, and Lau not been heard. W hilst without protection he had in cum,: debts, and was now in prison. Before the vacation Mr. Reed hr.d cbtained ptrtnission for the insolvent to file a retiton under he rison Act. and to be heard under the !243,11 i sec tion of t the P Protection Act en the same day. The insolvent now applied to be bailed under the prison petition. Mr. I)owee appeared for a creditor, and abjectt d to the present application. The Ite~ ar (Mr. Intzpen) consieered ant the insolvent not he in iterairpt under the protection petition, and could until the oth e r on an application fur bail untler the Prison Act e . r proceedinus had been heard. Commissioner to entertain the application. by his of fi cer, and r ef used Phillips concurred In the view taken At S onbsennent that h e should renew period o e pldsopftiehareday Mr. Reed intimated on on the next court day. IN RE GEORGE RoTCATT i BANKRUPTCY AND INnoLvitNcy Mr. R ee d applied to diernissth r l/2e:ti, lon, and to revest the estate on a report of one of the "'"'Lurs of the co u rt, mot all the debts had been paid and satisfied,. and further, that A .urn of upwards of £4OO in..court,as_sprplus should be paid to Mr. Notcatt. • Mr. Commissioner Phillips inquired of the learned courre . whether such things frequently happened in bankruptcy. Mr. Reed thought not. In this court, however, creditors were frequently paid 20s. in the pound. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said that when he was 6 , , junior commissioner be had to audit the accounts and lif w as surprised to see the number of cases which cre- Ihors were paid in full. " I was," added the learned Com missioner, " perfectly astounded at the number of ca ses p w hich creditors in this court were paid 20s. in the pound." His Honour granted the application. IN RE JONATHAN WORRELL HINDS-BILL TRANSAC- TIONs. The insolvent, a young man who had resided in Portland place, and who bad been connected with " bill transactions," applied to be discharged on his interim order of protection until the hearing. Mr. M‘liale, one of the detaining creditors, attended with his solicitor, and objected to the discharge, on the ground that the insolvent would abscond if he g it 4 , ut of pt icon. There had been :merit difficulty in arresting him, but there would be no objection t o bi s b e i ng di sc h ar g e d if bail was given. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said there could be no bail in a Protection Act. The Legislature had altetel the law and he could not help it. There was nothing iu the act against the present application. The attorney for Mr. M'Hale remarked that the debts were £6,000. Mr. C. V. Lewis, the insslvent's attorney, objec!ed to the solicitor appearing in the casa. The learned Commissioner sustained the objection, as it was contrary to the practice of the Court to allow a solicitor ,to oppose. Mr. Lewis assured the Court that the insolvent woul.l appear on the hearing. There were, he admitted, detainers against him. Mr. Commissioner Phillips discussed the question of the discharge, and said, as he saw nothiniz. in the act against he was bound to order the discharge till the day of hearing. Granted accordingly. IN RE LINGARD. Mr. Denney applied for the discharge of this insolvent. He had been discharged by the Chief Commissioner, and was now in prison for the costs in the action on which he was discharged. The Coromilsioner refused to interfere, leaving the matter in the hands of the other commissioner. ASSIZE INTELLIGEIVCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT. —BRISTOL, AUG. 14 AND 16. (Before Mr. Baron Chaunell.) PUTCHER T. HINDER. Mr. Stale and Mr. Prideaux were counsel fur the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Smith and Mr. H. T. Cole for the defendant, This was an action for an arrest and false imprisonment. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty," and a justification Oat he took the plaintiff under th e authoril of a writ of ca. sa. The plaintiff replied to this that notice of the with drawal of the writ had been given to the sheriff. The plaintiff was a farmer at Fovant, in Wiltshire. The defendant was a sheriff's officer at Salisbury. The action was brought to recover damages for an arrest and false im prisonment, under the following circumstances :—ln 1856 the plaintiff was in difficulties, and endeavoured to make a compromise with his creditors; two of those credirers, how ever' refused to agree to the composition, and one o f them adopted proceedings ' sad obtained a judgment. A war r ant was issaed and placed in the hands of the defendant, but, as the creditor afterwards came into the arrangement, and a notice having previously been given to the defendant to suspend the execution of the warrant for 14 days, a notice was put into the post-office, stating that the matter had been settled and that the warrant was withdrawn. The plaintiff then, on the 2d of May, returned to bis house at Fovant. He saw the defendant on different occasions and spoke to him, but nothing occurred until Saturday, the 14th of November, when the defendant met the plaintiff and arrested him upon the warrant. The plaintiff said the matter was settled ; the defendant said it was n o t settled. The plaintiff said he could show him the receipts if he would go to his house. The defendant said he would not look at any receipts. The plaintiff then said he would pay him the money. The defendant said he had no orders to receive money, and he must go to gaol at Salisbury, and the defendant accordingly took him to Salisbury gaol on the Saturday evening. He sent fir a solicitsr at Salisbury, but did sot obtain his discharge until the following Wednesday night at half-pas. 11. Mr. Lee's charges were £9 15s. The plaintiffproved the arrest. Mr. Cox, solicitor, of Size-lane, stated that he had been in negotiation with a Mr. Genge, managing clerk to a soli citor, in consequence of which be had written, on the 20th of April, to the defendant,ordering the execution of the writ to be suspended for 14 days. After that an arrangement was come to for the settlement of the action-10s. in the pound down, a promissory -note for 55., and the costs. He wrote to Genge, enclosing withdrawal of the ca. .ea. He also wrote to the defendant,on the 24 of May, with a similar withdrawal. Mr. Cox's clerk was called to prove putting the letter into the post-office ; but it turned out to be a " pressed" letter, and he could not say by whom, or to whom, the envelope was addressed, or whether it was addressed at all. He be lieved it to have been addressed "Sarni. Hinder, Esq., Sheriff's officer, Salisbury." All the letters be posted to him he believed to have been directed in that way. • Mr. Slade produced the copy of the letter, as the defend ant did not produce the original. The Judge said he would receive the copy, giving the de fendant leave to move. It appeared to him that it was rea sonable to suppose that the envelope was directed according to the address contained in the letter. Mr. Cox, cross-examined—Did not communicate with the under-sheriff. Mr. Smith said be could provide a complete direction by the sheriff. The Judge said if so there might be a doubt whether the plaintiff could recover. The case was adjourned on Saturday night to this morn ing. The trial was resumed this (Monday) morning. Thomas Todd Walton, thepoatmaster of Bristol, said that if a letter, of which this was a copy, was sent to Mr. Hin der, Salisbury, it would be returned to the Post-office in Loudon if Hinder could not be found at Salisbury, and then it would be returned to the writer; but should the ad dress be inserted in the body of the letter it would be sent to the proper address first. This evidence was objected to by the defendant's counsel, but was received subject to a motion. It was shown that the defendant bad received a fee of £1 Ils. Gd. in May. George Genge—l am clerk to Mr. Swyre, a solicitor at Salisbury, and was employed to settle the actions of " Beck v. Futcber" and " Burleie h v. Futcher." On the 23d of April I sent a letter to the defendant, stating that the matter was in course of arrangement, desiring him to sus pend the execution of the warrants, and requesting him to know his charges. I heard from him, stating the charge would be £2 2s. I wrote to him offering him lls. Gd., which he agreed to take, and I sent him a cheque for the amount, and received a notice of the withdrawal of the war rant in Burleigb's case from Messrs. Cox and Sons, his solicitors. What I did with it I don't know, bet I can't find it in the office. Ewer, a corn dealer, andimember of the town council of Salisbury, knew of the arrangement of the two actions in which Futcher was defendant. Knew of a warrant being in the hands of Hinder. Subsequently, frequently saw I Futcher at Salisbury. Had a communicati-n with Hinder in May or June. Asked him if he wanted Fetcher, as he was in Salisbury. Hinder said no, he did not want him. William Futcher, brother of the plaintiff, was at S.rlis bury with him in july at the agricultural meeting. Saw Hinder there, but did not know whether Hinder saw them. Saw Hinder pass through the village of Fovant in August. Mr. Smith contended that there was no notice to the sheriff: The Judge said there was no notice unless notice to the defendant was notice to the sheriff; but he would give the defendant leave to move. Mr. Smith then addressed the jury for the defendant. The arrest was not wanton. The plaintiff had been largely indeb:ed to several persons. An arrangement had been made with several creditors, but two proceeded against him ail obtained judgment. The warrants were sent to the defendant to be executed. The writs were in the county of Wilts. They were suspended for a time. The defendant had notice they were suspended. He took no steps until di , ected by the sheriff. Mr. Slade said that was not assigned. The Judge thought it ought to have been assigned. Mr. Smith said, he should ask to amend in such a hard case. Mr. Slade—A bard case, keeping a man in gaol four days. The Judge thought he could net amend. Mr. Smith said, there was no notice from the plaintiff hi mse lf. He would go to the merits. The writs were in the defendant's hands. He had an order to suspend the exe cution. The solicitors did not communicate with the Under- Sheriff as they ought to have done. It was now said that a e t Messes. Cox and Sons to the d e f en d ant Hnedre r was . s by that evidence satisfaCtory as it stood ? Ti err I was so much uncertainty about the sending that lett e thee the jury could not rely upon it. He should crll ti e defendant, who would say he never received the/ letter, and the Under-Sheriff would tell them that he never heard of any arrangement, and that he directed the defendant to execute the writ. The defendant held his bands because he knew there was an arrangement proceeding, and he remained qu!et until the Under Sheriff told him to execute the writ. It would be a fact in the case that about the period alluded to a clerk in the Salisbury p v i o e s t t e - d o . ffi c o e hid n th the t 0 7 l t e h n o a f n N u o m y l e t e m r b o e f r l , e Ni t t e r r . s x and w; d t h b e e e u n n c d o r e r t : Sheriff; wrote to the defendant, directing hint to execute this warrant. The defendant having' received this letter pro cPedot to errest the plaintiff. The defendant bad not any motive but to do his duty. It was not true that the plaintiff had offered the defendant the money. -After proving this ca=e he should with confidet.ce ask them for a verdict. Samuel Hinder—l am a sheriff's officer, and the defen dant in this action. In February, 1857, I received warrcets in the cases of " Burleigh v. Further" and " Beck v. Fur cher." I afterwards received a letter frnrti Messrs. Cox and Sons, suspending t h e i r execu ti on f or 14 d a y s . I there ere delayed err wing the plaintiff: Ott the '260 of April t t h o e fUn Octobere- Sli e I rirffe,eei ord er i ngv received a f I received a letter from Mr. Genge, which I sent to Mr. directing me to execute the warran lae t t ' t ti 3 r 71 s ' fn e r r ,ot s in u F s i et si ; er n , ; s: Ar o .nw.d On further suspension. On the 31s t of Octob er I received a lett letter the 9th November I received a letter frorr ' Me A stating that a su-pension had been ordered in " Beck . v.;l: l 9 l ordering me to execute the one in " Burlei I v . l zu t e t but 6 ler." I, in consequence, arrested the plaintiffet afternoon of Saturday. I had been •• ' past on the Nl•wring to take him as he came from market. Il s e said if it was not settled might to have been. I told him it could not ic e settled it had heard nothing of it. I wished hi m to send fur ;ri s e cousin, as we could reason the case over, nett I might pos sibly take his undertaking. Be said he wt u'd not trolub'e any of his f i it rids. I wished him to call on Ewer, but he would not. The plaintiff made no offer to pay we the money. I should have been glad enough to get it. I then took him to Salisbury gaol. I never received the letter from Messrs. Cox and Sons in May, nor any let t..r to that effect. I h ave h a d no er,mmunication • orming sue of the withdrawal of that ea. sa. Cross-examined.-1 did not tell Mr. Wilsen, plaintiff' s attorney, that he had caug h t me twice. I said 14mM put my trust in Providence. I had to refund sotee of my charges in two cases ; one was for giving a man time. I had the I netiee of suspension for 14 days. I did not feel it my duty to take biro aftkr the 14 days wi . hout further orders. I eoul,l not see myself clear in doing it. If he heel paid me the mone y I should have lodged him in my houge. Ile did nut offer to s h o w me o.le receipts. I say that what the plaintiff said about the offer of money and the receipts was an invention. I had no l ega l claim for the £1 lie. 6d. I received from Mr. Genge, but if a gentleman offers me money I take it. The fee on a guinea, and we get an allowance for an assistant, captain is a . and we take anything we can ,f we can get 1•, . . • is solicitor in t he matter and defends The under-sheriff fees a tßeck' s case.

It is usual for solicitors to comm. racate with the urder-shei iff in cale of a settlement. I had no communication from the solicitor in Burkigh's case until after the arrest. Cross-examined—Mr. Lee spoke to me upon the subject of this arrest on behalf of Futcher. I have no doubt I in formed Mr. Lee that I had instructed Hinder. I had not received any direction from Cox and Sons to proceed upon this warrant. Mr. Smith summed up his evidence. The mistake was not with the defendant er the sheriff, but from the .solicitor of Mr. Burleigh or Mr. Futcher not having done his duty. Mr. Slade replied for :the plaintiff upon the whole case. He hoped this would not be au instance of a great wrong being suffered without a remedy. They were now twitted by the standing counsel for the under-sheriff that they had gone against the bailiff instead of against the under-sheriff. But whom were they to sue? They believed the wrong to be in the bailiff, and therefore, out of kindness to Mr. Awdry, they did not attack him. Which, then, did they believe— that fine specimen of a Wilisbire farmer, Mr. Fa:cher, or the hound bailiff of the sheriff. He submitted they would believe the former. Had they any doubt that that letter had cone out of Messrs. Cox's office ?That letter had never been returned. If it had not reached its destination, would it not have been returned? Or we►o they to suppose that that little thief had purloined the letter. If they were of opinion that the defendant had received that notice of withdrawal. they must find a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Boron Channell then summed up. Toe jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, £5O. Points of law were reserved. GARDNER V. GRACE. Mr. Prideaux was counsel for the plaintiff, arid Mr. Stone for the defendant. This case, which was an action of trespass for driviug a carriage over the plaintiff, a little boy of four years of age carne on last Friday, but was adjourned to this mining, in order to give the detens!ant an opportunity of adding ano ther plea. Tke plea having been added, the case was now called on, and it was arranged that a juror shluld tee with drawn upon terms—the defendant paying to the plaintiff £45, and each party his awn cogs. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, Aug. 16. To-day an applica'ion was made to Mr. Baron Martin to know when he would fix to take the special juries. Ills Lordship answered that be would not lake them bPfure Friday, but would not fix them. He proposed going thrqugh the list of common juries and special juries in their order. Complaints had been In_.de about seuding common jury causes over to the other court to be tried on f)rmer oc casion., and he was therefore determined, to try all the causes that came before him ; it should be the voluntary act of the parties if they weut over to the other court to have their causes tried. CIVIL SIDE. (BEfure Mr. Baron Martin.) MASTERS V. THOMAS. This was an action for assault and false imprisonment. The defendant pleaded " Nat Guilty," and a justification that the plaintiff was suspected of a felony ou board his ship: Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff, who is a Nova Scotia man and a Creole, was formerly cook on board a vessel called the Antonio Varis, and left that ship with a certificate i f good character, and engaged and signed articles as steward and cook on board the Robert Jones, from Liverpool to Valparaiso, in December last, at the wages of £6 per month, of which ;vessel the defendant was captain. The vessel sailed for Valparaiso, and while there the plaintiff was cautioned to look to look sharp after the mate. It was his duty as steward to take charge of the property on board the ship. The vessel afterwards went to a Spanish port called Calderos, and while there he mate, in the absence of the captain en shore, asked the plaintiff for the key of the store room to stew away tome bags of sugar. The plaintiff gave him the key, and soon after went to see what he was about. He found that he bad drawn a gallon of rum from a rum cask, and asked him what he had done that for? The mate told him to say nothing about it, and he would make it all right at sea. The plaintiff answered that he should tell the captain as soon as he came on board; and the mate then said, "He would serve him out." On the captain coming on hca.d, the mate, who was a Welshman, spoke to thecap tain, who was also a Welshman, in Welsh, and the plaintiff mild not understand what they said. He was then called aft with one of the apprentices by the mate, and asked to open his room. He opened it, and saw a coat thrown on his bed. The mate asked what that was ; he said be did not knew, or who had put it there. His door was not locked. The mate then searched in the room and found some other things, which he said were his as well as the coat, concealed is his berth. The plaintiff knew nothing about them, and had nct put them these. The mate said to the apprentice, " You are my witness as to the finding of these things." The plaintiff was then called by the captain and told that the mate charged him with stealing his clothes. He said he did not know what to"think of it, as the mate was not sober, but •he should make him (the plaintiff) "safe for the night." The captain then had him put in irons and confined till next day at H o'clock, when be was taken before the consul ashore, and the captain and mate then stated the charge against him, and he told the consul his story. According to the plaintiff the consul said there was no case against the plain ' tiff, and advised the captain to take him back on board his ship. The captain, however, refused , and said he wanted him kept in custody till the ship was ready to sail. The consul told him if he was not satisfied he had better have him tried before the Spanish judge, but if he kept the man in custody he did it ore his own responsibility. The captain, then, according to the plaintiff, saw the captain o f the port,and had the plaintiff takeninto custody, and lod ge d i n t h e Spanish prison, which was small and ill-ventilated. He had no bed to lie on, only grass and a bar of iron for a pillow. He was kept there for :33 days and nights, without any change cf clothes, and his only food was a pennyworth of bread at 7 in the morning, and at noon t wo s p oons f u l o f beans. During this time men charged with murder, with stabbing with knives, and with thieving, were thrust into the same cell, and it was frequently so full that they had not room to lie down. The cell was ill-ventilate.l, and the weather hot. This treatment broke down his health, and bails and glandular swellings broke out upon hitn. At this time he had a large glandular swelling on his neck, the con sequence of that imprisonment. During his imprisonment the captain visited the prison to look after a sailor, and, seeing the plaintiff, said, "Are you there, old boy, I. have you fast." At the expiration of :33 days, when the vessel was ready to sail, lie was taken out of the gaol and marched in custody down to the ship, where he was put to work as a commonasailor, and told by the captain that he was disrated, and rated as a common seaman, at £3 per month. He was refused permission by the captain to go and see the consul, and in order to do so he jumped overboard in his clothes to swim on shore, but was caught and brought on board again, and the captain told him he would take him properly before the consul. He then ordered the mate to iron him, and the irons were put upon him in his wet clothes as he was, and he was kept confined till the ship sailed. On arriving at Liverpool the captain handed him an account of what was due to him for wages, rating him at £3 per month, deduct ing the expense of his maintenance in prison, and the cost of a man working in his place, and making it appear that only £3 were due to him. The plaintiff complained to the owners, and told his story, and they, after inquiry, dismissed both the captain and the mate, and paid the plaintiff his wages in full, for which he had signed articles. For the defendant, it was contended that on the charge of theft against the plaintiff being male by the mate, he took both before the consul, and that the subsequent imprison ment of the plaintiff was the act of the consul, and not his act, the consul having sent him a note to take to the captain of the port; and that he (the defendant) was not responsible for the badness of the Spanish prison and its regulations. The defendant was called to prove this, hut the mate, who was in court, was not called. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury that tojustify a private person in taking another into custody a substantive felony must be proved, as well as that the person taking such a step had reasonable ground for believing that the person charged had committed the felony. In this respect private persons differed from constables, in regard to whom it was a sufficient justification that they had reasonable ground for believing that the person taken into custody had committed a felony. This was the law of England, and the law was the same on board British ships ason the land. In this case there had been no attempt to prove that a felony had been com mitted, though the mate was in court; and it might betaken that that was a false accusation altogether. Tne plea of jus ttfication therefore failed. If the jury thought that it was the defendant who caused the plaintiff to be imprisoned, he was then responsible for all that he Lad suffered. If they thought that the imprisonment was the act of the consul, then a small part of the plaintiff's treatment was all that the defendant was liable for. But, realty, as to this, it seemed to him that if the consul had ordered the imprisonment, there would be some written proceedings to show that this was the act cf the consul; for he supposed that no man fir for the office of consul would hear an inquiry and order a man to be sent to gaol for above a month without making some minute of the charge anti evidence given before him to justify such a sen tenee. Nothing of the kind was proved before him, and he did not suppose that a consul would do all this by word of mouth merely. If the jury thought the defendant respor sib!e fur all the plaintiff bad suffered, the plaintiff was en titled to substantial damages for the injuries he had sus tained; but be advised them to give such reasonable damages as tnere was a probability the defendant could pay; other wise by their verdict they would ruin the defendant, and the plaintiff would get nothing. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £5O. CROWN COURT. (Before Lord Chief Baton Pollock.)

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-Aug. 16. - - NEW COURT. • (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) inn. Henry Hunt, 25, clerk, pleaded guilty to !tu tit zzling vari ous sums - of money belonging to Non Whiting, inzwer. Mr. Orrid g e p rosecute d , an d M r. Sl e i g h defended. It appeared that the prisoner been in the service of the .prosecutor, who is a colonial agent in Mincing-lane, at a salary of gum a-year, and the f rub , zzlements had been going on since Fehr u try, 1857, and amounted to dbout Xaio. Mr. Slei g h urge d , i n mitigation of ,punishment, the fact of the prisoner beiug drawn into dillicu:ties from having assisted his parents. The prosecutor also recommended ae primer to mercy, t I . , 1 c evidence, idb for ne feloniously : s a t i o L l . and he was stltenced to nine m o n th s ' i m p r i sonm ent. Isaac. Jacobs, e 32, dealer, a resp e ct a bl e -l oo ki ng J ew , was I el ' l e d Wiley d the sum of £7 10 4 ., f or restoring to him a gold watch u en sly fro a t ia n d h c i o s r p r e u r p s t , : r y l. The receiving from John which was very briefly entered in'o, proved the following facts:—The prosecutor and a friend were, upon the night of the Bth July, at a public-house in Cran bourn-alley, kept by Massey, the pugili s t.. Il e t h ere got drunk and fell asleep, and 'whilst in that state some of the company in the house stole his watch, a gold one, which had cost him 18 guineas. Upon the next day the prosecutor went to Massey's and spoke to him about the robbery. The prisoner was at the bar, and after some conversation Massey referred the prosecutor to the prisoner, who undertook to get the watch back, and got from the prosecutor the amount named in the indictment for doing so, of er which the prosecutor gave him into custody. When first ques tioned by the police-constable about the matter prisoner denied that he had received any money or had returned the watch ; but afterwards said Massey had asked him to get the watch back, and that was how he bad got himself into trouble. Upon the prisoner was found a 103. Mr. Salter, for the defence, after some discussion with the learned Commissioner upon the evidence being insufficient to show a corrupt motive on the part of the prisoner, very ably contended that nothing bad been proved to lead the prisoner to suppose the watch had been stolen from the prosecutor. The learned Commissioner—That was really the main point fur their consideration. The jury asked to look at the watch, which, it appeared, had been returned by the prisoner without the pendant how, nod otherwise appearing as if taken from prosecutor by violent means. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr—Hurry said that, eight years ego, the prisoner had been convicted of defrauding a man of £3O. In answer to the Court, the constable said that prisoner kept the very worst company, and was a frequenter of the house where the robbery took place. It was one of the worst in the district. Prisoner was at one time a snt of waiter at the Piccadilly Sa!oou. Commissioner-Ali, that is not a proper or regular place, but I suppose co robberies are committ e d t h ere. Constable—Sometimes they are. The prisoner was sentenced to nine months' imprison ment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-Aug. 16. The sittings of the Court for the August general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex were resumed this m o r n ing, at the Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant Jedge; Mr. Creasy, Mr. Payne, Mr. Alderman Rose, Dr. Bateman, and Din. Halswell. There were 32 prisoners for trial. William Woolley, 43, porter, was indicted for having stolen a pair of boots, the property of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the carriers, his employers, from a hamper on their premises in the Minot ies. The prisoner was a man of very excellent character, and the case against him rested chiefly upon the evidence of a person natue O'Brien. It was con tent•ed that his testimony was not reliable, and the jury ac quitted the prisoner. The trial of a cabman, named John Knight, for taking a young woman to a brothel in St. Giles's, and robbing her, was postponed until next session. George Plumridge, 24, was indicted for having stolen a quantity of silk neckties and other articles, value £3O, the property of Frederick Conlin, his master. lie pleaded guilty. The prosecutor, a draper and hosier in Drury-lane, stated that, altogether, the prisoner had robbed him to the extent of over £lOO. He allowed him £1 a-week and his board, and took him into his service withoat a character, on his representation that his former employer had been bank rupt, which he ascertained was really the fact. The Court sentenced him to one year's hard labour. Henry Suniniersby, 32, was indicted for having ob tained, by false pretences, and with intent to defraud, 10 decanters, value £lO, the property of John Dela , on, and 2 gallons of oil, and 8 lbs. of candles, the property of Geo. • Moller and another.

Mr. Rib`on and Mr. Dunbar prosecuted; Mr. Lawrence was fir the prisoner. George Wallace, 26, was indicted for stealing five sheets and other articles, value £1 103., the property of Lydia Eliza Paisley, and (Aux articles, value 103., the property of Edward Frederick Browne.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A well-dressed fellow, who gave the name of Francis M. Gloughan, was charged with robbing a lady named Brett. Among the witnesses examined was Mr. J. Smith, broker, 138, Leadenhall-street, who de posed that as he was entering Leadenhall-street from Grace church-street that morning he saw the prisoner, accompanied by another man, go up to a lady as she was setting her foot off the pavement to cross the road. The prisoner passed his left band into the lady's pocket and drew oat a purse, which he showed to his companion, and they then both made off. Witness told the lady she had been robbed, and then fol lowing the two men, seized the prisoner by his collar, and asked him to give up the purse. He denied having it, and struggled violently, but in order to secure him witness pushed him into a shop, and when there shot the door and secured him till a policeman came and took him into cu,tody. As he was being pushed into the shop, however, he threw the purse into the street, when it opened, and the money which it contained flew about the road, and was picked up by different people. The prosecutor identifird the purse produced as her pro perty, and deposed that when taken from her pocket it contained half-a-sovereign and some silver, and that although the silver had been restored she had net seen the half sovereign since. It was proved that the prisoner was a well-known thief, and that he had been previously convicted and sentenced to six months' imuthontnent under the name of Green. He had not Ling to say, and was fully committed for trial. Thomas Mash, 19, was charged, upon the clearest evi dence, with having stolen a handkerchief from a gentleman named Cunningham. _ _ The Lurd Mayor inquired what was known about the prisoner. _ _ Partridge (gaoler)—lle has been here no end of times, my lord. I can't say how many. Brett (detective)—And he has been twice convicted at the Old Bailey. Lord Mayor—Then leniency would be wasted on him. I shall commit bim fur trial, and he will go to the Old Bailey again. Prisoner—My Lord, I have no father, no mother, and no friend in the world, and what can I do? If you send me to prison again I must steal again when I come out. I can't help it. Lord Mayor—You have had plenty of opportunities of reformation, but you have never availed yourself of them. Prisoner—Then send me somewhere where I can reform. Send me to sea, if you please. The Lord Mayor said it would be useless to extend leni ency to so incorrigible an offender, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. GUILDHALL.—A New TRICK IN HORSE-DEAL ING.—Edward .Stamford, a horse-dealer, of the London road, Southwark, appeared, in discharge of his bail, before Alderman Gabriel, for further examination relative to the charge of obtaining £ 5 under false pretences with intent to defraud a Mr. Huggins of Rotherhit he. , The evidence taken on the former occasion was to the effect that the prosecutor attended Dixon's Repository in Barbican, for the purpose of purchasing a horse, and agreed with the pdsPner for a bay horse for £9, the prisoner cott er he P c a o n n Y c3cted a story that the seuting to take E 5 down and the rest a f ter the prosecutor bad had time to try and approve of the hi h r ns e e. his T y ne ar p d ri i s n o t n h e e r h i L n oo d r,si u de c induced .dr t o h na e ofti p , r ba o en s i e od c p u wg t ie oit while toh and that th e owner wou ld not t part with it without the whole of the money at once, upon which the prosecutor demanded his money back, but the prisoner refused it. Mr. Nash, for the prisoner, said it was Merely a joke say ing tke horse wa' not the defendant's, in order to get the other £4. He wag prepared to show that the prosecutor in the first instance did intend to get the rest of the money. The prosecutor said the defendant was willing to return him hls money, and he did not therefore wish to press the charge. Alderman Gabriel said if there was no fresh evidence of course he could not go on with the case. Mr. Nash said the defendant was willing to return the .C 5 and all reasonahle expense., hut the only difficulty in the way of an arrangement was the excessive demand made by tile prosecutor for expenses. The prosecutor sakl he only wanted to be paid for his trouble. Mr. Nash said he was prepared to pay £6, which he con sidered Wai ample remuneration. Alderman Gabriel said he could be no party to any com promise. The case was not sarong (nougtt at prezent, but if the prosecutor was not satisfied, and produced further evidence, he would cethinly caturnit the prisoner for trial. Mr. Nash then suggested an adjournment of the case for half an hour. After some furthrr consideration, Alderman Gabriel said he bad decided.upon rentand:ng the prisoner on bail, and if the prisiner satisfied the pro. It tutor there would b t no occasion fur him to appear again. A SCOTCH CASE IN A SCOTCH MIST.—RObe t Beg No , an engraver, and John Buz za rd, a n apprentice to the same business, were brou g ht u p c harged with having com mitted teverat frauds in Edi n b urg h. John Mark Bull, a City d e tective olTher (after handing in a printed handbill, circulated by the superintendent of the Edinburgh plliee, directing everybody generally, and the police in particular, to search for and apprehend the prisoners on several charges of fraud, without stating the nature or the amount of the frauds, or upon whom corn tnitted) said-1 apprehend. d Buzzard at No.l, Little Moor fields, and upcn telling him he was charged with commit. ing several frauds in connection with Begbie, ha said he did not know that he had done anything w rong, but if he had he mu s t h ave b een the victim of the other prisoner. He however believrnl it was all a straightforward transaction. Alderman Gabriel. —Have you telegraphed to Edinburgh since you apprehended Buzzard? Bull —y 5 5, s i r; and I received anicr a wer reques ti ng th a t he might be detained t il l an officer arrived with a warrant. From further i n f ormat i on I received I wen t t o Islaworth, where I f oun d t h e prisoner Begbie. In consequence o f t h e state of mind in which I found him, from delirium 'tremens, I did not think it p,udent to say anythinganvthin about the el•arge against until I got him to the station. him su ffering as he way Alderman Gabriel —Had the prisoners lived any length of time where you fl‘unil them ? sir. Buzzard was living in a temporary lodg ing ; and Begbie, aftr an excessive fit of drinking, was found wandering a b out and taken to the Islewort h Union. At the Moor-hu e stat i on I told Begbie that he was c h arge d with being conce rne d w i th Buzzard in comm i tt i ng hands n Edinburgh, upon which he said he certainly got the goods, bat it was no fraud, and that he sold some and pledged some. Alderman Gabriel —Wh en did y o u te l egra ph to Edin burgh ? Bull—At eleven o'clock on Sunday morning; but I got no answer until this morning in consequence of the tele graph (from religious scruples) not working on Sundays• Alderman Gabriel —What have you to sny to this charge, priscncrs, and why you should not be remanded ? Begbie—l allow I have got the 'goods from different parties, with whom I was in the habit of doing business, but it was in the ordinary course of trade, and this-young. gentleman (Buzzard) pleCged them for me. , , Alderman Gabriel—Hare you got the names of the par ties the goods were obtained from ? Bull—No, sir. Alderman Ga strange that the Elinbureh police should have furnished so little information es to the nature of the charge, but it is quite clear the right men are in custody. The prisoners not being able to find any respectable per. son to be bail for them in their present emergency, they were remanded until Tuesday (this day). in the hope that the Edinburgh police would coudescend to be mare explicit in their next communication. WESTMINSTER. A notorious young pickpocket, William Sullivan, alias Samuel .ullivan, aged 15, the son of a well known begging letter impoAor, was charged before Mr. Paynter with attempting to pick pockets in Vic toria-street. Webb, an efficer of the Mcndicity Society, said that be tween two and three o'clock on Sunday afternoon he was in Victoria-street, Westminster, when he observed the prisoner, who was in the company of another boy, makin g aWmpts to pick the pockets of persons, same of whom wet e on the way to attend Divine worship in Westminster Abbey. lie saw the prisoner take a handkerchief out of a gentle • man's pocket, which seemed not to please him, when he put it back again. He then went up to another gentleman, from whose pocket he took a red silk handkerchief, which he deliberately tied round his neck. After that he and the other boy who was with him sot down on the pave-neut. lie laid it open, and found it all right, upon which he was about to put it in his pocket, when a man, who saw what the prisoner had done, gave him a slop on the side of his face, and took the handkerchief away. Mr. Paynter —Did he try to take any other handkerchiefs? Wiiness—He did. When he recognised me, and got into Orchard-street with his companions, I did not like to follow him there till I got the assistance of a police consta ble, knowing what despertte clmracters frequented the street. I got police-constable Serle to accompany me. We succeeded in apprehending the prisoner. The other boy made his escape, as I was tripped up by some man, and I was in consequence much injured. Mr. Paynter—ls the prisoner known ? Webb—Yes, sir. He has only been out of prison about six months. Denni 4, the gaoler, said that since then he had been twice at that Court. The pris.mer was sent fur three months 0 the Hasse of Correction. MARLBOROUGH STREET.—CURIOUS CASE—Thos. Evans, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was brought beisre Mr. Beadon charged with stealing a suit of clothes under the following strange circumstances : It appeared that a person named Pethers was on Saturday charged with having unlawful possession of a suit uf soldier's clothes. The accused said he was staying at No. 9, Argyll street, and, having gone out for a walk, on his return home he found that a burglary had been committed, that a suit of his clothes had been stolen, and the regimentals left in the place of his own garments. As it was suspected that the defendant might possibly have aided a soldier to desert, Mr. Bingham, the sitting magistrate, directed the defendant to enter into his own recognisance to appear when called upon. Yesterday the prisoner Evans was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to commit a burglary at Padding ton. When the prisoner was taken into custody on Sunday night he voluntarily stated that the clothes he then had on were the produce of a burglary he had committed in Argyll street, and that he had left his own regimentals at the house. On making further inquiry it turned out tat the soldier had deserted from the barracks—that he had broken into the house In Argyl-street, and had stolen the clothes and left his regimentals in the house. The accused, Pethers, was of course discharged. The prisoner Evans having pleaded guilty, was sentence) by Mr. Beadon to six months' imprisonment. CHARGE AGAINST A CONSTABLE.—PoIice-constable Taylor, C 89, was charged with appropriating a sovereign, given to him by a prisoner in the Vine-street station, forthe purpose of procuring. bail. A person named Leveston, of. 5, Rochester-row, photo graphist, was brought to Vine-greet station in a state of in toxication. He was iceked up in a cell, and when he came somewhat to himself he gave a sovereign to the accused constable, who acted as gaoler on that occasion. According to the complainant's statement, the constable did not pro cure bail, but denied having received the sovereign. The complainant was taken to the police court and, fined 55., having previously obtained the bail of his landlord. The complainant, Leveston, having madd his complaht, the case was sent to this court to be investigated., The corn plaintrn repeated that he did give the police-constable a sovereign to get lytil with, and that he was able to call as witness a woman who was locked up with him in the same cell. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, cross-examined the complainant and elicited that complainant had besn in collision with the police before, and that he had paid the woman's fine. A woman named Evans slid she was taken to the station house, she supposed for being drunk, on Thursday night. A man was put into the same cell with her. She complained of the circumstance, but no notice was taken for some time. At last the man, who was the complainant, was removed to another cell. She heard the complainant say to the police-constable at the bar, "Here is a sovereign ; go for my bail." The complainant paid her fine 29 well as his own at the police court. On cross-examination the witness made it appear that the transaction took place in a different cell to that men tioned by the complainant. Mr. Beadon said there were contradictions in the case without doubt. The question he bad to ask himself was, what would a jury say to the evidence ? Being of opinion that a jury would not credit it, he felt bound to dismiss the charge.. At the same time, he must say it was clear that the irregularity of placing men and women in the same cell had been committed, but that was a matter for the consideration of the Police Commissioners. WORSHIP-STREET.—AN IMPUDENT ROBBERY.-- A kkown thief, who gave his name 77zotnas Brown, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt upon a charge of robbing* a gentleman of his watch. Evans, ....... Mr. Evans, the prosecutor, said that, in the forenoon, he was in the act of ringing the bell at a gentleman's house in the Kings land-road, when the prisoner came up and in quired the way to Old-street-square ; but, before he had time to speak, snatched his watch from his pocket, and snap ping it away from the guard-chain, ran off with it. A witness named Miall stated that he saw the prisoner run across the road and through the passage of a public house, where a man laid bold of him ; but another man then came up and took him away from the first, and the witness distinctly saw him hand a watch to the second man, and then run off' again. Policeman 218 G saw the prisoner running and stopped him, but was induced to relinquish his hold of him for a moment until a man came up and explained the matter to him, when he again ran after and secured the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded. MARYLEBONE. THE MATHEMATICIAN AGAIN DISTUREED.—Marco Maccarini, an Italian, was brought before Mr. Long, charged by Mr. Charles Babbage, the well-known mathematician, residing at No. 1, Dorset street, Portman-square, with creating an annoyance to him on Saturday evening' last by playing an organ in front of his dwelling, and refusing to desist when desired to do so.

DOG-STEALING.---A middle-aged man, who gave his name Edward James, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a valuable Newfoundland dog, belonging to ' Mr. Armour, an upholsterer, residing at 20, George-street, Euston-square. Mr. Buckley, 10, Crawley-street, Oakley-square, gave evidence which went to show that on Saturday night last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, as he was passing down the Hampstead-road, he saw the prisoner leading a dog which bad round its neck a cord, and on witness looking intently at it, knowino• it to be prosecutor's, he let go the cord, and the animal, upon being called by him (wit ness) ran up to him. Prisoner was questioned as to how he became possessed of the dog, when he denied all knowledge of it ; and on witness asking him where he 'bed, he replied at 14, Wellington-street. He objected to let him ( w it n ess) accompany him thither, in order that it might be ascertained whether his statement was true or false, and at length admitted that he had given a wrong address, adding, that if he had improperly taken the dog he was sorry for it, and was wining to go down upon his knees and beg pardon if allowed to go away. Witness took him to the prosecutor, by whom he was given into custody. The dog was produced by the officer, Madgett, 83 S, and identifiei by the prosecutor as being his property. On Saturday evening he allowed it to run out of doors, as Ste frequently did for a Ow time. Sergeant Potter, 10 D, said !bat the prisoner was a well known associate of a gang of dog-stealers, many of whom had been convicted at the different police -courts. The prisoner's defence was that tie saw the dog runnin g , and, thinking it had strayed, h e l a id b o ld o f the string whic h it was dragging along the road. As soon as the gentleman called to the animal he let it go. Mr. Long, considering that it was a clear case of stealing, and one which called for severe punishment, committed the prisoner to hard labour in the House of Correction for six months.

POLICE INTERFERENCE WITH THE .OaUsIBUSES.— A driver in the employ of the London General Ornnibae Company was summoned before Mr. Tyrwliitt at the instance of.the police, for furious driving. Mr. Beard, solicitor, appeared for the defence.* , Police-constable Hopper, 100 N, said be was on duty in the Kingsland-road, between Leigh-street and Johnson street, when he saw the defendant driving three horses in an omnibus at a furione rate. He got into the middle of the road and held up his hands to stop him. When the defeed ant came back from town he asked him to forgive him, but he said he could not even if it was his own brother. In answer to Mr. Beard, the constable stated that he was not put tipecially on that duty, nor did be have six cases to any other constable's one. After ho went into the road and cautioned the defendant, he went and had a glass of old ale with a person nntned Dawson. Mr. Beard said it was impossible for there to have been any furious driving, for the omnibus the defendant was driving was drawn by three horses, and was a ponderous machine. He called several respectable witnesses, who swore positively that the defendant was not driving furiously at the time stated. Mr. Tyrwhitt dismissed the summons. A CAN NI BAL.—Bridget Shea, a prostitute, who has been several times in custody fbr violent assaults, was com mitted for trial fbr assaulting police-constable Towes, 185 S, scratching his face, biting the whole of the flesh off one of his knuckles, and alscrbiting him in the thigh. GROSS BRUTALITY TO A DONKEY.— Thomas Hill, a rough-looking fellow, a labourer, of Paddington, was charged at the instance of Mr. W. Love, the chief constable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, with the following brutal treatment to a donkey : Smith and Grant, two of the Royal Society's officers, stated that they were at th e N ew C att l e M ar k et, where they saw the prisoner driving a donkey. The prisonqi, had a long thick cudgel, similar t o t h ose use d for beatinrcarpets, with which he was telabouring the poor animal in a shameful manner across the back and ribs. This conduct was kept up for a considerable time, the donkey being hardly able to keep on its IPgs during the infliction of the blows. They (the officers) remonstrated with the prisoner, and finding that to have n 5 effect they took him into custody. On examining the donkey they found its sides and back covered with wheals. Mr. Tyl;lth said that a big fellow like the prisoner ought to have knewn better, and ought to be ashamed cf himself fir such con d, ict. He would ' now have to pay a fine of 205., or go to prison for 10 days, with hard labour; and if he were ever hi:ought up aga'n on such a charge he stt setnalit him ioprison, without the option of paying a fine. SOUTHWARK.—ABSCONDING FROM THE PHILAN THROPIC REFORMATORY AT RED-HILL. Henry Griffin, a sharp looking lad, 15 years of age, a convicted thief, was brought hefire Mr. Combe, charged with un lawfully abs.eoncling from the Philanthropic R:formatory School at Red-hill, near Reigate, while under confinement there, by direction of Sir George Grey, her Majesty's late Secretary of State. This was a case of some importance, it being the second time that the prisoner had absconded from the same institution. Mr. Rogers, the Secretary to the Philanthropic Society, attended to prosecute, and Mr. Solomon appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Rogers, on being sworn, stated that in June, 1855, the prisoner was'ied at the W estm i ns t er sess i ons for felony, and sentenced to two months in the House of Correction, and afterwards to suffer two years' further imprisonment, or enter the Philanthropic Institution conditionally that he remained there subject to the rules, and until he was duly discharged therefrom. Mr. Combe wished to know I,Yhat were the regulations 01 the institution. Mr. Rogers replied that the lads received by warrant from the Secretary of State, which bore her Majesty's pardon on condition of their remaining in the institution, were bound by the Ist and 2d Vic„ c. 82, sec.ll, t o rema i n there until they were discharged by the institution. If honest employment was found for them they were either bound apprentices or placed with good masters. They could not leave without. Mr. Combe asked who discharged them. Mr. Rogers replied that the committee did that. The prisoner was never discharged, and, in fact, this was the second time he absconded from the institution at Red-hill. On the sth of July last the prisoner's mother came to see him at the latter place, and on her making an application the lad was allowed to quit the institution with her for three hours. He, however, dirt not return, and a few days afterwards a letter was received from the mother stating that his uncle had persuada him not to return. He did not do soon(' nothing further was heard of him until he was taken into custody on Sunday night by a constable of the H Mr. Solomon thought he ought to have proof of the rules and regulations of the Philanthropic Institution to show that they had power to detain the boy. Mr. Combe said that was not required. He was charged with absconding from the institution after being sent there by a warrant from the Secretary of State with her Majesty's conditional pardon, and not fur disobeying the rules. Her Majesty's pardon, on condition that he remained in the Philanthropic School two years from the 31st of July, 185,5, or until he was duly discharged from there, he held in his hands, bearing her Majesty's signature. He considered that quite sufficient for him to deal with. Mr. Solomon urged his worship to consider the hardship that it would be if it should go forth to the public that the boys in the Philanthropic Institution were doomed to per petual imprisonment there, unless the committee liked to discharge them. Mr. Combe told him that was the law. This institution, he understood, was one of the first and one cf the best in the kingdom, and the law must he put iu force against any of the class who came under its benevolent protection who transgressed. The case was as clear as possible against the prisoner, and he mast be sentenced to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction at Wandsworth ; at the expiration thereof the Philanthropic Society would claim him, and he bad better quietly conform to the laws. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND SEDUCTION.—Mary Ann Thomson a young woman, wh ose p arents are said to be respectable, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with attempting to commit suicide at Blackfiiars-bridge. Police -constable 197 L said that about 10 o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty in the Blaekfriars-road, when a lad came running up to him and told him that a female had attempted to jump off Blackfriars-bridge. He immediately proceeded there and saw the prisoner struggling with a man in one of the receQses, who told him that she was climbir,g over the parapet to jump into the river when he seized hold of her clothes, and with great difficulty suc ceeded in pulling her back. She was without her bonnet, and she told witness that it had been her intention to com mit suicide, and he then took her into custody. She cried very much, and told him that her father had turned her adrift because she had the misfortune to have an illegitimate child, and that was the reason she had meditated suicide. The prisoner, who stated her age to be 30, said it was quite true what she bad told the constable, but now she was very sorry, and would never repeat the attempt. Mr. Combe asked whether anything was known of her friends ? The constable replied that her father kept an ironmonger's shop at Islington, and was in comfortable cir cumstances, but he tamed her adrift and would not support her. The prisoner said that she did not want him to support her. All she requested of her father was a little clothing to enable her to go into service. Mr. Combs asked her where she bad lately lived ? She replied, with a respectable hard-working female in the Barnsbury-road, and she left there on Saturgay P.lorr.- ing to look atter a situation in Nelson-square, but she was disappointed. Mr. Combo severely lectured her as to her conduce, and discharged her on her promising to return to her friend in the Barnsbury-road. LAMBETH—SAVAGE ASSAULT—BITING OFF A MAN'S NOSE.—David Sullivan, an Irish labourer, was charged before Mr. Elliott with the commission of a very savage assault on the person of Laurance Camidge, a countryman of his, and biting off a large portion of his nose. From the evidence adduced in the case it appeared that the prisoner and the injured man bad been good friends up to Saturday night last, when a drunken quarrel took place, and the encounter that followed was described to be more like that of savage beasts than human beings. The com plainant in the case was in so dangerous a state from the effects of the injuries he received as not to be able to attend. but the following medical certificate was put in and read by the magistrate : P° This is to certify that I have examined Laurance Ca midge, and find that a p or ti on of his nose is destroyed, together with contusions of the head and body, the result of ill treatment. He is confined to bed and incapable of being removed for the present. " August 16, 1838. T. W. HOOPER, Surgeon." The prisoner, in defence, said Camidge commenced the fight, and was remanded for a week. CHARGE OF RAPE.—SCANDALOUS PROFLIGACY.— Mr. George Sarnton, of 18, Red Cross-street, Borough, builder, was plac e d at the bar on a charge of violating the person of Emma Lydia Willett, aged 18, shopwoman to Messrs. Clerk and Vines, confectioners, Queen's-row; New ington-butts. The proceedings in the case were lengthy, but the folloW ing are the main facts :—The prisoner, with two of his work men, were engaged in making some repairs at the house of the employers of the prosecutrix, and, according to their own representation, all had kissed and taken indecent liber ties with her. On Saturday afternoon she (the prosecutrix) went up stairs to look for a gas-lamp ; and the prisoner having toll her it was in air upper room she went there. She was followed by the prisoner, and he then committed the capital offence on her. The prosecutrix swore she called out as loud as she could and made every resistance, but the prisoner by much force effected his purpose. Mr. Elliott highly reprobated the disgraceful conduct of the prisoner and his two men, and remanded the former until Wednesday, when, he said, he should send him before a jury. THAMES.—A VIOLENT ASSAULT.—EIIen Crawley, an Irish woman, aged 50, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding John Foy, a coe whipper who appeared in court with his bead and face enveloped in hospital bandages, and in a very weakly con dition. It appeared that both parties lived in the same house, in an Irish colony called China-court, St. George-in-the- East, and that a quarrel had takenpacebetween a then pri sorier, Mrs. Foy, and another, and the l com p lainant, in dustrious and peaceable old man, went among them to make peace, when the prisoner took up a heavy iron hammer and made a blow at Foy, who caught it in his hand. He then closed with the woman who, however, managed to knock him down, and then struck him several blows ou the head with the hammer and two on the side. The complain ant was rendered senseless by the blows, Lis head was cut open, and he lost a la.ge quantity of blood. He was re moved to the London Hospital, and his wounds were dressed. He is liktly to be an out-patient of the institution for tome time. The prisoner made a long and impassioned harangus to the magistrate and sa'd she had for many years worked hard and supported her fatherless children, and that her cha. enter for industry and sob r i e t y was known to Inspector Allison lr.s o e f i f t e t I K h t a l division, s i n o ( n ) . h t and ng e d r o y t r h s o in court. ten to eh dren.

WARNING TO TIPPLING LOVERS.—One night in the beginning of the present week, as a gentleman was wending his way home from this place at a rather late hour, and when within little more than a stone-cast of his own house, he was not a little startled to hear groans pro ceeding from a ditch on the opposite side of the road to that on which he was walking. For some time he stocd conjecturing whether they proceeded from a human being or not; but no sooner were they repeated than, screwing up his courage, he approached the ditch, and was shocked to find a respectably dressed young man lying, his heels fully four feet higher than his body, intoxicated. With difficulty he succeeded in raising the young unfortunate to his feet, but then came the puzzle, what was he to do with hi m ? H e was unable to walk' to Alloa, wihthee he was bound, and tl,e "good Samaritan" could not think of allowing him to lie upon the roadside, he therefore resolved to take him to his own house, and give him such a bed as he c ou ld spare. On reac hing the house, all the inmates being sound asleep, he put him in a straw shed, and shutting the door behind him retired for the night. At an early hour next morning the kind hearted landlord (hearing rather an unusual noise im mediately in front cf his bedroom) rose, and to his amaze ment saw his domestic servant chasing with a large stick the very person he, on the previous night, had taken from the roadside. On coming down stairs, he met Jenny, who, in reply to his interrogatories, stated that be was her sweetheart, that he had courted her for about 18 months, and that, though be bad often promised to marry her, he as the last two or three occasions had come intoxicated to see her, consequently she had taken a distaste to him. Jenny's master commended her highly for her conduct. Yet, notwithstanding f... 11 that has occurred, we understand that there is every likelihood that the two will be shortly united in the bonds of wedlock—be, the " lovyer," having joined the teetotal society.—Stirling Journal.
