THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 185 D. VHS DAYS MARKETS. BROWN. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) ROLLS COURT. Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir Jahn Romilly.) IN RE BROADHURST AND ANOTHER-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l have read over the whole of the affidavits that have been filed on this motion, and I cannot say that it has been satisfactorily esta blished that the bill is due. The opinion that I have arrived at on the consideration of them is, that the bill has been paid. The presumption arising from the facts of the case, in the absence of evidence to the con - trary, supported by the Statute of Limitations, is that the bill was paid. At the last settlement of accounts there was a bill of costs due from Mr. Scanlewyn to Mr. Owen, his solicitor, at the end of the year 1849, of £l9. In 1851 a partnership was entered into by Mr. Owen— nothing was said of this bill—a counter claim for work and labour done was due to Mr. Scanlewyn, amounting to £35 ; and the presumption is that the one debt was set off against the other, and the bill paid. His Honour considered the evidence of payment satis factory, and ordered the bill to be delivered up without costs. THE METROPOLITAN COMPANY AND:GENERAL LIFE ASSU RANCE ANNUITY LOAN AND INVESTMENT SOCIETY V. This cause came on to be mentioned as to costs. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The costs in this case must follow the result of the suit. The plaintiff will have his costs on the first branch of the case in which he was successful, viz., that part of the colliery and mines in - his possession subsequent to the date of the indenture. And as to the second deed, the plaintiff must pay costs to the defendant, and, quo ad ultra, the one set of costs to be set off against the other.

There was very little business doing in wheat in the leading .country markets held on Saturday ; nevertheless, prices were mostly supported. Fine barley realised extreme rates, and medium qualities ruled steady. Other kinds of spring corn, including flour, supported previous rates. The continental markets continue dull for wheat. Spring corn, however, has ruled steady. In the United States produce generally is high in price. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro duce were limited. From abroad the receipts. ore 2,600 quarters of wheat, 8,711 of barley, 7,594 of oats, 146 beans, 577 peas, 265 tares, 7,199 linseed, 13,475 rapeseed, 20 sundry seeds, and 2,212 sacks of flour Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, the arrivals of wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were very mode rate, but we had a few of last week's unsold samples on offer in damp condition. Notwithstanding that the stands were but poorly supplied, millers generally showed no dis position to purchase. However, the few fine dry samples on offer were disposed of at full quotations, but all other kinds were very dull, and prices had a drooping tendency. There was a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. In all kinds the transactions were much restricted. In prices, however, no quotable change took place. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were very dull. There was a good demand for malting barley, the show of which was limited, at full prices. Grinding and distil ling sorts were in fair request, on former terms. Good and fine malt moved off steadily, other kinds slowly, at last week's currency.

About 60 oxen were on offer from Spain. _ From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts, fresh up, this morning were limited in number for the time of year, but in full average condition. For all kinds we had a steady demand, at fully last week's quotations. A few very superior lots sold at os., but the general top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. per 81b. The arrival of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,200 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 450 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 316 Scots and crosses. _ _ The show of sheep was rather limited, and the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at, in some instances, a further slight improvement in value. The best Downs sold currently at ss. 4d., and a few very superior pens produced even more money. The difference in the value of shorn sheep and those in the wool was about Bd. per 81b. The few calves in the market were readily disposed of, at fully last week's currency. There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, at late rates. P©r Sibs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

This was an action to recover damages for seduction, and the plea was not guilty. The case was opened on Saturday, and continued to-day. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Barnard appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, and Mr. Brown for the defendant. It was stated, in opening the case, that the action was brought by a licensed victualler in the Whitechapel-road, and the defendant was in practice in Mount-place, Mount street, Whitechapel-road, as a surgeon. The girl, the plaintiff's daughter, who had been seduced in Jan., 1858, was not then 15 years of age. The defendant had attended the plaintiff's family for some years as a medical nian, and ho did so during the illness of the plaintiff's wife, who died in :arch, 18.58. Whilst the mother was on her deathbed the defendant was actually seducing her child, who was then, of .curse, deprived of the care of her mother. Another fact in the case was, that the defendant in the course of these pro ceedings had made an affidavit denying distinctly that he had ever had any improper connection with the plaintiff's child. Caroline. Vincent Gardiner deposed—l am the daughter of Mr.' Henry Gardiner, licensed victualler, of Whitochapel. I was 15 years of age last April, and before Christmas, 1857, I was at school at Red-hill, near Edgeware. I came home for my Christmas holidays on Dec. 17, 1857. I had known the defendant before that time for many years. On my re turn home from school I found he was attending my mother, who was confined to her room, and afterwards died on the 4th of March, 1858. On my return home till 15th January 'I constantly saw the defendant at my father's house. About that time he asked my mother to allow me to visit Mrs. Godfrey, and remain with her for a week or a fortnight. My mother said she could not spare me ; she was so ill. He said, " Oh, very well, let her come for a day." She replied she could only spare me for two or three hours ; onwhich he replied, "I'll come and fetch you at three o'cloci." He did so, and I went with him in his cab to his residence in Finsbury-square, when he introduced me to his wife. Whilst I was there Mrs. Godfrey left the dining room, and I was left alone with him, when he came and kissed me three times. I left about ten o'clock with the defendant, in his cab, to return home. - There were two seats in the cab. I sat with my back to the horse, and the defendant on the - seat opposite to me. He wished me to sit by his side, but I told him I would rather sit where I was. After that he wanted me to sit on his lap, but I declined, and told him I would rather not. Ho then pulled me on to his lap, and I tried to get away, but he prevented me, say ing, "Do not be frightened." I said, " You will spoil my dress," and he told me to turn it up. I declined, and he then turned it up. He danced me on his knee, and acted inde cently to me. I said " Leave off, doctor , I would rather sit on the other side." He said, "Never mind, I won't hurt you ; I always attend ladies. I love you too much ; I won't do you any harm." I at tempted to get away from him, and he said, "Don't tell any one that I ever kissed you." During this time he hurt me very much, and told me not to tell pa or ma, for it would break their friendship off. After some struggling I got to the opposite seat. The defendant took me to his surgery, nearly opposite to my father's house. I waited there some little time, after which he walked across with me to my father's house, at the same time cautioning me not to tell my parents, or he would not make me any presents, nor take me to any of the pic-nics he would go to. Ho said he did not think I was quite well—that I was a little ;poorly. I said I did not think I was. After this I saw him from time to time when he called to see my mother ; and on one occasion he gave me a ticket for a ball at the London Tavern ; he lent us his cab, and I and my brother went to the ball. A fortnight after he called and saw my mother in bed. I was in the sitting-room, the back room on the first floor, practising my music. When he came into the room he said, " Never mind me ; go on." I had been in the habit of singing and playing to him, when my mother had been present, I sang him a song on this occasion, and when I had finished he said, " I want to speak to you ; come here." I went to him. He sat down on the couch and pulled me on his knee. Witness then gave other details. He said, " I hope you will never tell any one that I have kissed you ;" at the same time he said, "If you call out, you will kill your mamma." When he let me go I opened the door and went into ma's room. He followed me a second or two after. Just before this happened he had given me a scent bottle. A Juryman—How far was this from your mother's room ? Witness—A landing separated the back room from the drawing-room where my ma was confined. He did not fasten the door of the back room, but left it a little way open. When he gave me the scent-bottle he said he would give me a better present some other day. A few days after I was in my mother's room when Mr. Godfrey came in, and as he left the room he kissed me in my mother's presence; I went into the sitting-room with him, where he wished me to sing to him again. I did not sing, and I ran away saying, " I can't stop now, for mamma is all alone." I re member having a conversation with Lavinia Spratt, my father's housekeeper, some time after, when the defendant had called to see my mother. On his leaving I went out with him on the stairs, and he kissed me. Lavinia Spratt saw him do it. I told her what the defendant had done to me, and I requested her to do something, and from that time the defendant had never after an opportunity of seeing me alone. I remember the death of my mother. The defendant visited her before that event. I was in the room with my mother, sitting on the sofa. He came and sat on the sofa also, but not near to me. I was then aware my mother was dying, and I was in a state of great distress. He said, " Never mind, don't cry ; everyone must die, and I will be a papa and ma to you." This was on the night of the 4th of March, when my ma died. In April the defendant sent me some medicines—one a pink colour, and the other was very thick, and of a dark colour. It made me feel sick after taking it; 'but it had no particular smell. I did not take the whole of the thick dark mixture. A few days after he had sent the medicines he called and saw me in the presence of Lavinia Spratt, the housekeeper. He told her she was to stand over me and make me take my medicine, in consequence of her having informed him that I had not taken the last half-bottle. He did not tell me what the medicine was for, but he had spoken to the house keeper. He also said at this time he wished me to come over to his surgery at one o'clock exactly, or a little after. Lavinia Spratt said, " Very well ; she shall come." I said I did not wish to. By the Judge—l was not aware there was anything the matter with me when I took this medicine. Examination continued—l recollect the defendant coming in August, when I was in my bedroom and undressed. He did not come into the room, but I came out on the landing. Lavinia Spratt was present. He told her to unfasten my dress, as he wished to listen to my chest. When my dress was unfastened be pulled my neck about, and felt me about the body. I was afterwards sent by my father with Lavinia Spratt to Mr. Debenham, surgeon, who examined me and informed me I was in the family way. He examined me in the same way the defendant had done on the landing. Whilst the defendant was examining me, Lavinia Spratt said, " There can be no occasion for that, doctor; you ought not to do it." He said, " You know nothing about it ; allow me to understand it, as a medical man." My father at the time was in the sitting-room, and he opened the door on to the landing. The defendant said to my father that I had a weak chest, and if I were not looked after I should go off like my mother (my mother died of consumption). After Mr. Debenham had examined me I was sent to Elthara, and had a lodging in Miss Lucas's house. Mr. King, sur goon, attended me, and on the 10th of October I was con fined of a male child, which is still alive. Cross-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—l went to Mrs. Gibbs' school at Red-hill. There were about 40 girls there, I never told them there I was 16 years of age. (Witness wept very much.) My father keeps the Black Bull. I was at the school about twelve months. I had been to school before that, and came home at Christmas and Midsummer. My father has kept the house all my lifetime. When home for the holidays I used to go to bed about eleven o'clock at night. Never served in the gin -shop. I have been in and out there, but not at night time. I have been at the bar door for a short time at night. I never particularly noticed the women who came there. I don't know if most of them walked the streets. I don't know what they were ; but I have seen women served by Miss Spratt, Jane, the barmaid, and my brother. There was a female servant named Oliver, but she never served at the bar. The women who came in were sometimes accompanied by wen who trcated them, and I have seen them drink together. The bar parlour door was generally shut when I was at home. I don't know of a club being held at the house, but lately a room near the bar has been set apart for gentlemen. I never heard of the Hen and Chicken Club being held at my father's house. My brother, who lives in the house, is 17 years of age. Lavinia Spratt, who is sometimes called Mrs. Charlton, sleeps with me. The room was partitioned off, and my father, mother, and brother slept there during an alteration on one of my holidays. The division was made by hanging up blankets and quilts. No one slept in the same room with me after my mother's death except Miss Spratt. My father and brother slept in the same room as they did before. If it had not been for mother's death I should have gone back to school. I never served, and never listened to the language of the women. I had not been ill before my mother's death. My mother never spoke to the defendant in my presence abmit the state of my health. The house was being rebuilt at the time, and workmen were _in the house. I went to the defendant's house in a common street cab. We were about half an hour going. He called on some patients on his way . home. When we came in Mrs. Godfrey was hiding behind the door and two ladies were sitting by the side of the fire. I was introduced to the ladies. Mr. Godfrey asked for Mrs. Godfrey, and the ladies in fun said she had gone out. He asked where, and then she came from behind the door, and he introduced me to her. She shook hands and said, " How do you do?" At his request Mrs. Godfrey took me upstairs and took off my things, and I then returned with her to the parlour. The ladies were still there, and I remained there till dinner time. The defendant went out for about ten minutes, and then re turned. We dined, I think, about six o'clock. The two ladies left the room to dress for dinnersoon aftermy arrival. They were absent about 20 minutes. Mrs. Godfrey had left the room to get some lunch for the defendant. The defen dant returned whilst the ladies were there. He talked to them, and asked them to sing and play. They did so, and I sang and played also. While the ladies were out of the room Mrs. Godfrey returned with the lunch. It was when Mrs. Godfrey had left for the lunch, and the ladies had gone up stairs, that he kissed me. We did not stop anywhere on my return home. I remained at the surgery about a quarter of an hour, whilst he visited his patients. The surgery is nearly opposite my father's house. I waited for him because he said he would go over with me. I did not think there was anything wrong in his taking me on his knee. I was never told at school it was wrong, or that it was wrong for young men or old gentlemen to kiss me. (Laughter.) Ma once told the defendant when he kissed me in her presence that I was getting too old for it. (Laughter.) I know it is wrong for young men to kiss me. (Renewed laughter.) It was when going down the back streets that the defendant took the liberties with me I have described, before got into the Whitechapel-road. He had before the same evening pro mised me he would take me to a picnic. On the second oc casion I had left my mother asleep, and closed her door. The door of the back room was closed when he came. He opened the door and came in. I was singing "Rank and Fame" from the Rose of Castile. Mr. Chambers—That's a military song ? (Laughter.) Witness—No. I had then forgotten what had happened in the cab. It was a few days before this Ma spoke to him about kissing me. I took two bottles and a-half of the dark medicine; the remaininghalf bottle I threw away. I never got into his cab when standing at the surgery door. lie sent me a pink medicine because I complained of the dark medicine, and after that he sent me two more bottles of dark medi cine, which I threw away. When he examined me on the landing he did not listen to my chest, he did not put his ear there, but he felt my neck and breast. This took place some months before my confinement. Nothing was said to me about my state before I saw Mr. Debeuham, and I had not the least notion up to that time what was the matter with me. The child was taken from me the day after it was born, and I don't know where it now is. I have nes er asked Lavinia where itis. Lavinia took me to Eltham. I have never asked my father where the child was taken. I never saw it. I can't say how long I was ill before the child was born. I used to go to bed before Lavinia. Since my confinement I have been home with my father. I sat up stairs playing music, and singing. I was not in the bar parlour when a girl misconducted herself with a man named Richard Tupper. I have never heard my father say, when using nasty words, " Oh, never mind her; she does not understand them." I don't know what a "cock and hen club" means. (Laughter.) People come to the house till the theatre is open. , Since my return from EAam I have not been up later than 12 o'clock. I may have been downstairs as late as 11 o'clock, but I have not been downstairs attending to the customers. I never had a sweetheart. The defendant had connection with me in the cab. I never had anything to do with any other man. The second connection took place in a similar manner to the first, in a cab. After the medical evidence had been given, Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., rose to address the jury on the part of the defendant. fie contended that the evi dence adduced by the plaintiff was open to the greatest suspicion, and when they had heard the witnesses he should call before them, he felt no doubt that they would return a verdict for his client. After the learned Counsel had concluded hifi address, the learned judge suggested that, as doubts as to state of the girl had arisen, it would be better to have her examined by an eminent medical gentleman; and Mr. Coulson, of Fre derick-place, Old Jewry, was sent for, and on his arrival the judge explained to him the nature of the examination he wished to make. Dr. Godfrey said—l reside at 33, Finsbury-square, and have a place of business in Whitechapel. I married on the 7th of last March twelvemonth. I then went on the Con tinent, and on my return I went to Finsbury-square to re side. I have lived there ever since, occupying the same room and bed as my wife. I have never had any disease that conveyed infection in my life. I attended Mrs. Gardner. She was dying from consumption. When I was sent for on one occasion she was suffering very much from excitement. On that occasion Mr. Gardner asked me if I would take Miss Gardner to Mount-place, until the disturbance was over. I said I had nobody at Mount-street ; I merely had consulting rooms there, but I would take her to Finsbury-square. I called for her in my cab, and haVing made a stopping in Spitallields, we arrived in Finsbury square. When I got home I found I had been sent for to attend on Mrs. Bennett. I told Norah, the maid servant, as I was going out, to call Mrs. Godfrey down. When I heard my wife on the stairs I said, "Miss Gardner, she will stop here a few years." I was never alone with her, with the exception of in the cab, up to this time. I never had kissed her in the house. I never had intercourse with her in the cab—never. I returned home about dinner time. • I took her home about ten minutes to nine. I took her home in the same cab and driver. The horse was my own, but the cab was not. I had to call at Mrs. Solomons, in Union street. I saw her and then drove to Mr. Gani ners. On my oath I never took the slightest liberty with her. I never touched her. I did not ask her to play on the piano on my next visit. I never called her from the piano. I never had intercourse with her. I never did anything that could offend her modesty. I don't recollect ever having kissed her. If I ever did so it must have been when she was a child. I was called in to see her on the 3d of May professionally. Mr. Gardiner said " Carry was not quite right. He was afraid her chest was bad." He said Mrs. Pratt had told him so._ _ _ _ Dr. Coulson here came into court, and said he had examined Miss Gardiner, but found no trace of any impure disease. (The ease was proceeding when we went to press.) POLICE IN2'ELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. NOVEL LEAD ROBBERY.—John Mill, 30, was charged with stealing a quantity of lead, of the value of 305., from the house, 64, King street, Soho, and also with violently assaulting Mrs. Mary Joyce, lodging-house keeper. Catherine Joyce, daughter of the prosecutrix, proved that on Monday last the prisoner called at the house and asked, seeing a bill in the window, what rooms were to let. He was told on the second floor, when he said he would have preferred the third, but would take the second; and having paid a small deposit left, having asked for the latch key; and saying he would come the next day. However, he did not come till Saturday, and she then told him that, thinking he was not coming, she had let the rooms, but that the third floor room was then empty. He went ' up and stayed three-quarters of an hour, and then left, asking what time her mother went to market. He then went away, but came again in the evening with another man, and, in consequence of the remark he had made about her mother going to market, he was suspected, and on his com ing down stairs with the man, her mother and herself went he had a large bundle under his arm, her onulott'haeurdsesie:ing ed it, when he struck her mother two severe blows in the face, dropped the bundle, which contained a quantity of the lead from the roof, and the two men made o ff, but s ubsequently the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner had brought nothing with him but an empty box. Other witnesses having confirmed the above, the pri soner said he had nothing to say, and was committed for trial. There is littlo doubt but that the object of the prisoner in taking the box was as a blind, and the above, may per haps act as a caution. The stir and bustle of preparation has fairly commenced, and another racing season will be inaugurated on Wednesday and Thursday. Train ers have not been idle during the recent open wea ther, and will be enabled to send their horsez, to the post in a condition which they could hardly have hoped to have attained at a more advanced period. The two-year-olds--of whom there will be a good show at Lincoln —are, it is said, particu larly forward, and altogether a most successful commencement of the campaign may be anticipated. To-morrow, when my letters of advice will have reached me, I shall fully discuss the probabilities. The " Book Calendar of Races to Come" for 1859, which has just been published, will heighten the expectations which arc entertained of a prosperous and busy season. It may, too, be perused with interest, and, doubtless, it_ has ere this been well conned by the students of turf literature. Glancing at the index to engagements, I find that the owners of certain two-year-olds incur tre mendous liabilities for stakes and forfeits. For instance, Mr. Merry alone has three animals, Brother to Rainbow, Lady Falconer, and Thor manby, the aggregate number of whose engage ments is one hundred and twenty-seven ! Specu lation on the Derby is still steady, but it has fluctuated somewhat with respect to the Liverpool Steeplechase and Chester Cup. For the jumping event Jealousy and The Brewer are in the ascen dant. Harry Lister, it is said, has achieved wonders with the mare, who jumps like an antelope, and " Joe" considers the race as good as over, shouting and all. The Epsom folks are puzzled to determine whether The Brewer will really be the true representative of Mr. T. Hughes's lot, and they shake their heads at the notion of " Tommy's" having a favourite so long before the race. They bide their time, for they know they shall be put on the right one at last. Drogheda, the slapping Irish colt, is the admiration of Newmarket, and certainly his good looks justify the eulogiums which are passed upon him, and the position to which the fondness of his friends have advanced him in the betting. In due course these and many other mat ters will be fully brought under notice by A FRESH MAN. THAMES. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. - James Dunmore, a labourer, of No. 11, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with cau ing the death of George Washer, at the above-named place, yester day afternoon.
