LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE JOINT STOCK COMPANIES' STORR V. TETE SEVERAL PERSONS TRADING UNDER THE TITLE OF " TIM VITRIOL ENAMEL COMPANY (LIMITED) . " A solicitor who attended for the defendants said he should be able to save the time of the Court bycalling his Honour's attention to the fact that a number of persons had been summoned by the plaintiff as trading under the title of " The Patent Vitriol Enamel Company." Now this com pany was a "limited" one, and as such was duly incorpo rated under the Joint Stock Company's Act—and under that act, the company, being an incorporated body, should be sued as " The Patent Vitriol Enamel Company (Limited)." Plaintiff insisted that the Company had admitted the debt. The Solicitor—Yes, and you must sue the company in :he person of its registered officer. His Honour said that would be so in cases of incorporated bodies. A person could not sue Sir R. W. Carden for the Corporation of the City of London. A question then arose as to the necessity of the word " limited " being affixed to all orders, receipts, &c., in fact all documents signed by the officers or members of the com pany. It appeared that aMr Bransden had signed a re ceipt without the word " limited," and his Honour said Mr. Bransden had clearly made himself liable. He would, however, adjourn the case till a future day, and hoped the case would then be settled. In all these cases the company should be sued ; but the officers of the company should remember that they were liable in penalties for not putting the word " limited." SINGULAR AND IMPORTANT APPLICATION FOR COSTS:- IN THE MATTER OF TYLER AND DANIELS. Mr. Humphreys,jun., said. he had to apply for costs under the following peculiar circumstances. Daniels, who had been a workman in the employ of . Mr. Tyler, sum moned that person for £2 Os. 10d., wages and notice. Tyler paid 9s. 10d. into court, and Daniels accepted that sum in full. Now, under these circumstances, it was Daniels' duty to give Tyler notice that he had accepted the sum paid into court three clear days before the trial of the cause. That notice never came to Mr, Tyler's hands, and he (Mr. Humphreys) with counsel attended on his behalf on the day of trial. Plaintiff did not then appear, and his Honour granted costs upon application. Those costs were paid in by Mr. Daniels under protest, and he (Mr. Humphreys) now applied to have those costs paid out. He would admit that Daniels had written to Mr. Tyler at his place of abode two days before the day of hearing—but the summons was issued for the place of business, and the cause of action then arose, and he con tended that the notice sent to the private residence was in formal and void. Mr. Tyler was out of town, and did not receive the notice (if notice it could be called), until after the hearing of the cause. His Honour said Mr. Humphreys was under amistake as to notices served at the abode of the defendant, but the notice not being served in time his Honour was kind enough to make an order that the costs should be paid over to Mr. Tyler. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). BOW-STREET. QUEER LODGERS.—A woman, named Elizabeth Holland, was charged with setting fire to a room in a house in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane._ _ _ Mrs. Jones said—l keepa ledging-house in Charles-street, Drury-lane. The prisoner occupied a room in the house. Early this morning some of the other lodgers came to my room door, and said the house was on fire. I got up and went to the prisoner's apartment, and there I found the place in flames. The bed and bedclothes were consumed, mid a round table, which was at the other end of the room, was burning. Assistance arrived, and the fire was extinguished. Mr. Henry—Was the prisoner at home when the fire occurred Complainant--I can't say. Some of the other lodgers said they heard a voice which they believed to be hers. There were three people in her room during the night. Mr. Henry—Then, you can't say for certain whether she was one of the party. Complainant—No, your worship. Mr. Henry—Then, I don't see how you can say she set fire to the place. Complainant—But she had possession of the room. Mr. Henry—That may be ; but you cannot indict her for setting fire to the room, unless you are sure she was the person that did so. Conplainant—Some of the lodgers said they heard her voice. Mr. Henry—That is no proof she was in the room. They may have thought it was her voice, but that's all. What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l never set fire to the place. I left the room last evening at 6 o'clock, and never returned until this morning, when I found the place had been on fire. I left it safe enough. _ _ Complainant—Who were the people in your room ? Prisoner—How should I know. L was out all night, and had the key of the door with me. . . _ - Complainant—There were some women singing to an accordion played by a man. Prisoner—l know nothing about it. I was away from the place all night. _ Henry---4 don't see how you can feel surprised at anything which takes place when you let out your apart ments to such people as the prisoner. Of course she has acquaintances, and they knowing she was not in the habit of returning home after she had once left her room till the next morning, it 'was not improbable that they, by means of a false key, entered the place. The lock on the door I sup pose was a very common one. Or the fire might have oc curred through pure accident. Complainant—That could not be. The bedstead and bedelothing were burning at one end of the room, and the table, which was covered with a lot of loose paper, was on fire at the other end. Mr. Henry—There is no proof that the prisoner was at home when the occurrence took place. I must discharge her. Prisoner—l was not at home at all during the night. The prisoner was then ordered to be discharged. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—John Bryson, a journeyman baker, was charged with violently assaulting an elderly man and a police-constable. Police-constable A 310 said—Last night I saw the pri soner and his with in New Oxford-street. They were quarrelling. After they had proceeded a short distance I saw the woman raise an umbrella and strike the prisoner. He turned round, and, using a violent expression, struck a gentleman, who was near at the time, a tremendous blow on the temple, which felled him to the ground. I in stantly ran up, and asked the prisoner why he had struck the gentleman, when he called me a disgusting name, and said he would serve me the same. He then struck me on the side of the head. He also tried to kick me in the abdomen. In warding off the kick my thumb was dislocated. Finding he had disabled me he continued ill-treating me, until I got my rattle from my pocket, the noise from which procured me assistance. It took four constables to convey the prisoner to the station. • The gentleman first struck by the man having given his evidence, Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge? Prisoner—l - was drunk, and I don't recollect anything. Mr. Henry—The old excuse. I cannot take drunkenness as any excuse for so violent an outrage. I fine you £5, or in default commit you to prison for a month. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF A SOLDIER FOR BEGGING.—A SCENE IN COURT.-Thomas Spencer, a private of the Ist Batta lion of the Fusilier Guards, was charged with bogging, and assaulting Morris, 173 C, an officer of very good character. Morris said that on the previous night, while doing spe cial duty at the Duchess of Somerset's, the prisoner was complained of to him by a gentleman, he having told the gentleman he was absent from his barracks at the Tower, and wanted something to drink. The gentleman said he had given him some drink, to which he was welcome, and asked him to let him go. About half-past one that morning the prisoner came down the lane again following a gentle man, and he heard him say, " I want sixpence of you." He (Morris) then went up to him Wand told him that it would not do. He (prisoner) said he would make cat's-meat of tie, as he had done others in the Crimea. He then went away, but returned again shortly after, following and accosting two gentlemen and three females. He *(Morris) then took him into custody, upon which he gave him a violent blow on the chest, and had it not been for the assistance of three others, would no doubt, being a more powerful man than he was, have done him serious injury. H been drinking at the time. _ _ The prisoner said he had never asked for money and never struck the constable. yV A person in the court here exclaimed—Why, the officer was himself drunk at the time. • - Mr. Bingham—lf you have got anything to say, sir, come and be sworn. . John Evans, of William-street, decorator, was then sworn, and said—l saw the prisoner talking to a gentleman, who did not seem annoyed. I did not see the gentleman give him anything. At the time the constable was in Bryanstone-street, and I don't see what business he had there Mr. Bingham—Attend to decorating houses, sir, and don't fake upon yourself the duties of an inspector. Stand down, sir. Witness—With all due submission— Mr. Bingham (with much warmth)—Put that man out, officer. _ _ _ Mr. Bingham—l cannot understand how a person who has deserved well of his country should disgrace himself by begging. Indeed it was more than that; it more nearly resembled highway robbery, demanding a sixpence. The example was a most dangerous one, and he should commit him for 14 days. THAMES. DARING STREET AOEBERX.--MiChael . 1‘10 4 141e8,. alias Marneb was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch, value £4, from the person of John Anderson, a seaman, lodging at 41, Ratelff:highway. The complainant said that last night, soon after seven o'clock, he was standing on the footpath in front of his lodging-house when the prisoner came up and stood along side of him, and in a minute he snatched his watch from his left-hand waistcoat pocket, detached it from the chain and handed it to another man, who ran away with it. He seized the prisoner, and after a severe struggle with him dragged him into his lodging-house, and detained him there until a police-constable arrived. Wiliam Roebuck, a police-constable, 446 K, stated that he found the prisoner in the house, 41, Ratcliff-highway, and at once recognised him as an' active and daring thief, who had been twice convicted in the police court of petty offences. On the first occasion the prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, and, upon the second occasion, to one month's imprisonment. A great many sailors had been robbed in Ratcliff-highway. Mr. Yardley—l know it. Does the prisoner plead now or does he wish to be sent for trial ?' The prisoner—l will plead now. Mr. Yardley—What do you plead ?—guilty, or not guilty. The prisoner—l am guilty, sir. Mr. Yardley—There is no doubt of your guilt. You have committed a most impudent robbery.

Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, Mr. Y. C. Cart tar, coroner for west Kent, resumed the inquiry, at the Rose and Crown Tavern, Greenwich, into the origin of the late fatal fire at Greenwich. Mr. F. Scudamore, solicitor, and Mr. E. Lendon, secretary to the Kent Fire Insurance Company, at tended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the company; and Mr. Ingle, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr. Roper. The court was, as on previous occasions, occupied by large numbers of respectable inhabitanti of the district, and the coronercommenced the proceedings by observing that on the last occasion the inquiry was adjourned at his own request in order to secure the attendance of a most important witness. lie had seen this witness, but from circustances which had transpired he believed it would be necessary to have other persons in attendance, and he should, therefore, be compelled to adjourn the inquiry until 5 o'clock. The coroner and jury rQassembled at the hour named, when the following witnesses were exa mined : Mr. B. Savage deposed—l am landlord of the Saracen's Head Inn, St. John's-street, Bedford. On the evening of Friday, Oct. 1, about half-past 6 o'clock, a man whom I did not know came to my house and asked for a bed. He was told he could be accommodated, and he then asked for a sheet of note paper and an envelope, with which he was supplied ; and he then sat down and wrote a letter, which he went out and posted before he went to bed. He slept at my house on that night, and on the following morning he came down stairs about 8 o'clock and called for a glass of ale, which he drank off, and th en l e ft th e h ouse. Th e man was attired in a suit of d ar k c l o th es , was a b ou t 5 ft. 10 inchesin height, had sandy whiskers, and from his general appearance I thought he was a traveller. By the Coroner—l know a person at Bedford named Layton. He is a boat-builder, but was not at my house on that night. I had no conversation with the man. At the time I took him the sheet of note paper I also took him a newspaper. It was either the News of the World or the Devonshire Indepen dent, as these are the only two papers I take. My house is the first from the railway station in which beds are let. I have seen several persons who have been pointed out to me at Greenwich this day, but have not identified the man who slept at my house. This man used the tap-room, and as he did not answer quickly when spoken to, I considered that he was deaf. By Mr. Ingle—l remember your coming to my house. You read a letter, which you said had been received from George Layton, Saracen's Head, Bed ford. You also said that you had seen the chief officer of the police. Since I saw you at Bedford, this officer has called twice at my house, but had received no information about such a person as " George Layton." Elizabeth Waterfall, servant, in the employ oj Mr. Roper, was now recalled, and deposed that four gas burners were on her master's premises, viz., two in the shop, one in the parlour, and one in a back room. She remembered that one of the glass bells over a burner in the shop was broken by the shopboy. This took place on Friday evening, eight days before the fire. It was the glass belonging to the burner over the counter. By the Jury 7 —When aroused from my bed by the fire I opened the door and saw a mass of flames at the bottom of the bed. After I went upstairs to bed. I did not return to fetch anything. The door of my room was blistered with the heat inside. My arm was burnt by opening the door, but I scarcely know how it was done. Robert Monis, shopboy, in the service of Mr. Roper, was re-examined, and deposed that a glass bell belonging to a gas burner over the counter in his master's shop was broken about a month before the fire: No other glass was purchased for this burner. By Mr. Ingle—l was in the habit of cleaning the glass bells, and after doing so they were placed in a bin. On one occasion when I took the glasses from the bin for use I found that one was broken. This was about a month before the fire. By the Coroner—l do not think that I had cleaned the glasses during a fortnight before the fire. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Inspector Barry was sent to the residence of Mr. Allwright, appraiser, Lewisham-road, to request his attend ance for the purpose of explaining a portion of his former evidence. On his return Inspector Barry stated that he was unable to find Mr. Allwright. The Coroner—lt is too bad that he gives us so much trouble, and apparently keeps out of the way. We went to him thr2e tim2s yezterday, but he was apt to :Jo found. This being the whole of the evidence, the coroner proceeded to sum up the case to the jury. He must first direct attention to the fact that the fire took place on the 12th Sept. The inquest on the bodies of the two children who were burnt to death took place on the next day, and the jury . would remem ber that at that time no suspicion, hatever attached to Mr. Roper, but, on the contrary, the sympathy of the public was generally expressed for him on account of the bereavement he had sustained. The inquest was then adjourned for a week, and during that period he (the coroner) received such informa tion as had subsequently led to repeated adjourn ments, and grave suspicions against Mr. Roper. The evidence given by the witnesses Cowell, sen., and Abbott, was most contradictory, and it was per fectly clear that they had endeavoured to keep back the truth. When Mr. Roper was first examined, he stated most distinctly that the whole of his fur niture had been consumed, but it was soon found that a very . large amount of property had been re moved daily before the fire to the house of Cowell, and that other valuable property had been pawned. The very day after the fire took place a most com plete inventory of goods alleged to have been con sumed was made out by Mr. Allwright, at Mr. Roper's dictation, and this document was actually concocted at the house of Cowell, and the property remaining at Cowell's house, in addition to that pawned, was included in the inventory as having been consumed at the fire. After referring to the large amount of stock claimed for, as compared to that consumed, the coroner alluded to many incidents of the case which were certainly suspicious. The jury wouldremembcr that a writing-desk had been removed from Roper's house. This desk remained at the house of Mrs. Cook, Roper's sister. It had been sealed by Police-Inspector 'Wilson, and yet Roper had thought proper to open the desk and remove its contents without the presence of anY - competent witness. With regard to the statement made by Roper that ft few days before the fire a strang4 had called and paid him £2 on account of the bush res s, it certainly did appear strange that a man who ' knew nothing of a business should agree to pay £l3O for it. The letter sent from Bedford, and purporting to be from the man who paid this money, has thrown no light upon the subject ; and if such a man was in existence, why did he not come for ward and prove a matter of so much importance ? It was near midnight before the coroner com pleted his review of the evidence. THE VERDICT. Shortly before four o'clock this morning, after an hour and three-quarters' deliberation, the jury re turned the following verdict : "That the said Isabella Caroline Roper, on the 12th day of September, 1858, was burnt to death in the house No. 8, Royal Hill, Greenwich, which house was then burnt down by fire, but how or by what means the said fire originated there is not sufficient before the jury to prove. " The jury cannot return their verdict without expressing their decided conviction that the origin of the fire is in volved in great doubt and mystery, and grave suspicion exists in their minds that the fire did not result from acci dental circumstances, and it is only from want of strict legal evidence and proof that the Jury feel compelled to come to an open verdict. " The jury are of opinion that the police-constable Frederick Haycraft, 381 R, and Thomas Smart, the parish fireman, were not prompt in the execution of their duty ; and that Thomas Smart's conduct ought to be investigated by the parochial authorities." - While the jury were in deliberation as to their verdict, it came to the knowledge of the c oroner a nt in Mr. that. Elizabeth Waterfall, the female . Ropers's family, had not commturlici,;it'ved all she I had been knew respecting the proceedin g s had been returned en quiring into. After the the coroner (Mr. Carttar2vtleorltdl the jury of the cir was recalled, and, in eumstance, when the g questirons put to her by the answer to certain coroner, admitted that she purchased some t ur p en tine, on the night the fire t oo k p l ace. _ She purchased she hall a pint. She bought th a t quan tity because thought the furnit ure she had to c lean would require the whole o f it. H er mas t er did not tell her how much to bring. The Coroner gave directions that, as the charge against Mr. Roper was to be further heard at the police court that day, the girl should attend and there state the facts she had just told the jury. GREENWICH POLICE COURT. Mr. Roper was this day, in accordance with the last remand, placed at the bar. Mr. Scudmore, solicitor, and Mr. Lendon, secre tary, were present on the part of the Kent Fite Insurance Company. Mr. Ingle appeared for Mr. Roper. ' The most important witness examined was the girl Elizabeth Waterfall. She deposed that on the night of the fire she went out and bought some turpentine. Her master gave her sixpence to pay for it. She brought half a-pint. He did not tell her to bring that quantity. She brought half-a-pint because she thought the furniture she had to clean would take that quan tity. When she went out to buy the turpentine it BANQUET TO THE MAYOR OF MELBOURNE. Sir John Rateliff, Mayor of Birmingham, enter tained Mr. Smith, the Mayor of Melbourke, Aus tralia, at a grand banquet at the Royal Hotel, Birmingham, on Tuesday evening. About two hundred and twenty gentlemen were present, these including nearly ail the members of the Town Council, many of the magistracy, most of the merchants and manufacturers connected with the Australian trade, and in other respects tho mercantile community of Birmingham was well re presented. " Prosperity to the British Colonies," coupled with " The health of the Mayor of Melbourne," was toasted by Sir J. RATCLIFF, and very warmly received. The Mayor of MELBOURNE replied, and in ac knowledging the toast said—l have the honour to be a native of Australia. You have glanced at what the Australian colonies should be ; but in saying what they ought to be, you have said what they really are. For what are they ? They aro simply the offspring of the British people. (Hear.) I claim to be a British subject, and I claim Eng land as my country. (Cheers.) In making this claim I believe that I only echo the sentiments of my Australian fellow-colonists. (Hear.) I am, as most of you are aware, a native of that country. My mother was a native before me ; and therefore I may say I am almost thoroughbred. (Laughter. Be this as it may, we look at ourselves as part and parcel of England, as living under the English con stitution ; and though we are now only little bant lings, yet we ask you to treat us as dutiful and loving children. We have not yet given you any men to fight your battles ; you have not yet asked us for them ; but I beg -to say that if England was in danger to-morrow there arc more than a hundred thousand British hearts in Australia who would rush to your assistance. (Much applause.) I will say nothing of her gold, but I believe that if you required half her wealth to support your war, and maintain the character and honour of England, you would haVe it readily sent you. (Hear.) No man has been in a better position than myself for knowing the feeling of my fellow colonists_ Some years ago, when difficulties arose with regard to matters at the diggings, and the peace of my city was threat ! ened. 2 for I was then mayor, as I am now—the simple mention of the matter in the newspapers made more than two thousand gentlemen come for ward voluntarily and enrol themselves as special constables. I believe you misunderstood us, or vou would have known us better long since; and I would direct the attention of the British commer cial world to one matter which has done much to deteriorate your interests. For the last four or five years, notwithstanding the large subsidy given by our colonial parliament to support a mail commu nication, a rapid, certain, and direct means of com munication is still among the things of the future. The carelessness of England in this respect is felt keenly by your own flesh and blood in the Austra lian colonies. I could tell you of numberless in stances where mercantile men have had their cha racter blasted as the result of the indifference mani fested on this important matter. (Hear.) Having had one or two interviews with gentlemen in office, I believe I may say that the present governmext are alive to this, and that we may expect a better state of things ere long. (Cheers.) As to the pro gress of the colony oeVictoria, a few statistics will show you better than any words of mine. As you arc aware our colony is a very young one. When I first went to Melbourne from Sydney, 20 years ago, bricks and stone were not known, there being only a few wattle and daub houses ; but in 1851 the revenue of the corporation of the city had reached £85,000. The imports were in that year £3,000,000; in 1856 they were within £l,OOO of X 15,000,0 0 0. Their exports were in 1852, £6,000,000 ; in 1857 they were X 11,000,000. The revenue of the colony was in 1851, -e400,000 ; in 1857 it was £2,900,000. Their expenditure in 1851 was £410,000, and in 1857 it had reached £3,250,000. (Cheers.) We have in Melbourne a full - fledg ed corporation— mayor, aldermen, and councillors. In 1813, when it was established, the r evenue of that body was £1,500 ; in 1854 it was £75,000. They have now streets a mile pa ved with stone brought all the way from Scotland, and some of these will bear com parison with anything louil l d ha E v n e g a l t yet s e e n en d in eg L e o n n er d a o t n e . Why, indeed, s wherever they went ? I believe that Britain, in establishing these colonies, is simply obeying the behest given to the first m an , " G o f or th andinul tiply and replenish the earth." Her rule is the most free of any ; it is, in fact, the essence of liberty.; and I believe that if ever there is iikuni versal tongut, the English will be that :044F. (Cheers.) In Australia the Sabbath day i6ctft4l observed ; indeed we are quite Scotch in tiiig :pttit titular. (Laughter.) As regards education I may mention that our Legislature, of which I have the honour to be one, as member for Melbourne, last year, devoted £2,000 to that purpose. (Cheers.) On this point Mr. Smith enlarged, and in coxclu sion went on to say that when he got back to his own dear city he would not fail to let the people of Melbourne know what a reception he had met with in Birmingham. He had been obliged to decline many pressing invitations, but the kind and hand some manner in which, on his landing, Sir John • Rateliff asked him to pass a short time in Birming ham was such that he felt it would have been un grateful for him to refuse his hospitality. He should do what he could for the trade of Birmingham in Melbourne ; but he playfully cautioned the mer chants and manufacturers present that Australian folk knew the difference between good creditable Birmingham stuff and that which in bygone days went by the name of Brummagem. (Cheers.) " The health of Sir John Rateliff" was toasted by the Mayor of Melbourne, and drunk with that cor diality so deserving of the munificence and public spirit which has _marked Sir J. Rateliff 's dual mayoralty. We understand that Mr. Bates, the convict banker, 11A6 been released after nu imprisonment of three Teen. was about 11 o'clock, as the shops were shutting up, The magistrate said, as it was impossible that the charge of fraud, upon which the prisoner had been committed, could be taken at the ensuing sessions, it would, therefore, be as well to keep the present charge of arson open. lie should remand the prisoner again until Friday week. The greatest interest was manifested throughout the proceedings. The court was densely crowded. THI D ED IT I ON. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. KELSO RACES THIS DAY. (Er ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
