From what had previously taken place I had good grounds to expect a decision of a different kind. I do not say so without sufficient grounds for the statement. You will recollect that, after a lengthened inquiry, on the part of a commission appointed to investigate as to the best means of supplying the south thata nik of Scotland with railway accommodation , scheme. t decisioas given in favour of the Caledoniannof That decision was affirmed in the able report e e Beard e of of Tcroamdme,ohasndanadftesruwhaserrueantv Committeeof the House Committee of the House of Lords ratified thatthe Caledonian decision. Railway's claims that on public grounds claims for preference were well found t e h d e . fe S it i h n s c ho e fou t w h ldh e i n behe l c o o d, the see Caledoniannoreasonwchyomthpaant decision,y,arporate in a departed from by the admissioname ofpla andcom pfacitrinigraleisntei.—va. line, too, which after the most tion was rejected last year as incompatible melt the Caledonian Railway. This is the posi tion in which we are now placed, the Bill which was last year rejected having now received the sanction of a Committee of the House of Commons. But we must not rest satisfied with that decision— (Hear, hear)—or allow ourselves to remain in the posi tion in which we have been se unjustly placed, as I can , not but think, when the case is more fully considered, that it will be seen the d ec i s i on i s not suc h a one as we were in justice and equity entitled to. I may, however, observe, that if we have failed before the Committee of the House of Commons in opposition to the Glasgow and Dumfries scheme, we have prevailed against another opponent that threatened to take a con siderable portion of our traffic I mean the North British extension, from Hawick to Carlisle. We stand in as favourable a position as we could desire, as far as that] project is concerned, the Committee having de cided that the preamble of their Bill was not proved. With reference to the Bills now submitted, some it will not be necessary to proceed with; only I think it will be better that the whole be agreed to now than postponed. We should then be in a position to proceed with all of them at any time, should circumstances require it. I think that all f these branches are essential to the prosperity of the Caledonian system ; and some of them have been brought forward more as a protection than from the expectation of large remu neration. Last year we proposed a branch from the main line of the Caledonian Railway to Dumfries, which we thought would give the necessary facilities to that town. We thought one branch which would not have cost more than 100,000/, and with the trifling detour of only seven miles, would have been satisfactory, but the Committee decided differently. In order, therefore, to meet their objections we brought forward the present scheme, to unite Dumfries with the main line of the Caledonian Railway, by two branches involving a con siderable expense. We have also considered a deviation in the main line near to Carlisle necessary, in order to ob tain an entrance into a commodious central station that is proposed to be erected there for the accommodation of this railway in conjunction with the Lancaster and Car lisle, the Newcastle and Carlisle, and the Maryport and Carlisle Railways. Conceiving that such a central sta tion will be of the greatest advantage to the public, we have proposed the deviation in question. We also pro pose, about nine miles from Carlisle, to take a branch from the main line to Langholm, both as a means of protection and to afford ecconiniedation to a considerable population. We likewise propose a small deviation on the Clydesdale Junction Railway, whiCh is necessary in consequence of a decision of the House of Commons last year. There is a Bill also involving considerable opera tions in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, which are found necessary to connect the Clydesdale Junction with the Barrhead and Neilston and Glasgow and Greenock Rail ways, a connexion that will be of great advantage, embracing also a scheme for crossing the River Clyde, so as to establish a station in the very centre of the city. This Bill has been agreed to by the Committee of the House of Commons, with the exception of the latter part, for crossing the Clyde, which is not to be per mitted without the consent of the Admiralty. The Committee would only sanction the preamble of the 8111, subject to such approval. At present the Admiralty are not prepared to sanction the crossing of the river, and we will, therefore, have to confine our opera tions, at present, to the south bank. I may - here remark that the Ayr and the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway Companies had a project before the same Com mittee for crossing the river lower down, but that was rejected, so that with regard to the crossing we steed at least upon equal terms with them. If the Admiralty at any future period may consider our plan for crossig the river unobjectionable, or we may devise some meal's of effecting that object that will meet with their ap proval, then we shall be in a position to give a most central and commanding station in the very heart of the city. We have also Bills for short branches to connect the Garnkirk Railway and the adjoining district with the Scottish Central Railway, so as to bring the large northern traffic on to the line. The last Bill is for the purpose of effecting a junction from the terminus at Edinburgh to the pier at Granton—a pier constructed upon the largest scale, in order to accommodate the shipping, and through which, by the proposed branch, we shall be able to afford every facility to the shipment of coal and other mineral traffic. We have proposed to make this junction along with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. It will not involve any great expense, and no doubt be highly re munerative. We did submit a Bill to extend the junc tion to the port of Leith, but some difficulty arose in carrying it out, and we have not proceeded with it. We hope, however, to make such arrange ments as to be able to bring it forward in another session of Parliament. These are the different schemes to be submitted to your consideration, which, if carried out, will, I have no doubt, return you a profitable interest on the capital invested. Should the Bills pass at a future period, we shall be prepared to settle the principle upon which the holders of the pre sent stock shall unite with the holders of the original Caledonian stock. At present I hope there will be no difference of opinion as to the propriety of agreeing to these schemes, which have already been submitted to, and sanctioned by, two general meetings. They are now submitted only in agreement with the resolutions of the House of Commons. In conclusion, allow me to observe that, under existing circumstances, you should distinctly remember that as a means of protection, as well as a means of bringing traffic to the main line, it is your interest to sanction them all.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY then read the heads of the sever al Bills submitted for the approval of the meeting. Mr. VANDEP.WALL said, before the sense of the meet ing was taken on the Bills, he wished the meeting would agree to a resolution authorising the payment of sat,' 4 per cent, on the paid-up stock. He believed a proposi tion of that kind was agreed to at the Caledonian I{ 'x tension meeting yesterday. The CHAIRMAN thought it was an important question, and required consideration. The directors, he believed, were willing to take the matter into their consideration. Mr. BUCRLEY wished to know if the shareholders of j the present company would have anything to do with the Caledonian Extension. The CHAIRMAN said that an understanding had been come to by the Caledonian Company with the Caleilo. nian Extension, in its original form, to lease it at a rote of not less than 4 per cent. on the whole capital. But the original plan having been altered on account of the eastern pori iou of the Caledonian Extension being t .e -jected by the Standing Orders' Committee, the mauter assumed a new form. It had not yet been fully consi dered by the directors of the Caledonian Cumpauy, and it could not be decided without full communication with t he shareholders. Yet, inasmuch as the western portion of the Caledonian Extension, which was retained, was the most favourable portion of the scheme, if the Bill fie' it was obtained, it would come before the shareholders of the Caledonian Company, when there was no doubt tit ey would see at once the propriety of leasing it.—(Hear.) Mr. BUCKLEY said he was a holder in this Company of shares which he purchased for investment,:and not for speculation. Had he sold out last year and bought,' in now he might have cleared 1,5001. by the transaction; still he preferred to hold on, and would continue to do so, as he believed it would yet turn out one of the best paying line in the United Kingdom. If they only waited till the line was opened, he was sure they wot ild obtain 50 per cent. on their shares over the origiloal price.—(hear, hear.) He trusted he would live to nee t e l.e shares at a goo d prem i um, and if the directors ° caulpidtalonplyaidbenprz was a led do to ne give by smalla someh o t e rornp interest c onan companies, say even 3 per cent , it would be of great importance,wCloimeiTaitnyw:as likely the line and A gsinvel RvEigueouLrptceßthienqwuhiroelde ' w o T u l h d be opened e cuAiR3, ?

When 25/. is paid we can then proceed upon the powers of our Act of Parliament to borrow money, and the could decisionn of you may rest assured we will take care to pre ss you as little as possible. Mr. P. M. S TEWART, M.P., said, as he he ld a ROI 131.• derable stake in Company ,ia r n enc to e resist saying fe w the words inn reference which had just been recorded against it by aCo decision so cont j te o of the House of Commons--ammittus , h e w as quite sure sion of Parliament, th at justice and to the determi na ti o n come to last ses they would yet find redress in the House of Com m o ns itself. If there was any faith to be placed i n the deci sions of Parliament, if there was a ny trust to be re posed in the Legislative body, the matte r mnst.. enddeinu favour of the Caledonian Company, wh i c h 11, a 21 13 . sanctioned by Parliament, after passing through gid ordeal of ten years. He maintained that on the faith o f Parliament the Caledonian Company had proceeded to execute their works; yet now they found a eornpettn, line, which last year bad been tried and found want ing, let loose upon them. There would be an end to all confidence in Parliament if it sanctioned this most unjust and untoward proceeding. According to the usage of Parliament, it was required that when a report is brought up from a Committee a day is fixed for its consideration • when that came on, all he would say was, that if the House of Commons confirmed that re port, it would create the feeling in the country that pro perty was not safe while Parliament was sitting.—(Hear, hear.) But there was another tribunal to which it would have to go, and where he was sure a Duke and one or two Marquises would find no favour beyond their intrinsic worth.—(Hear.) He could say both the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railway Compa nies felt the liveliest interest in these proceedings, and he had no doubt they would yet bring matters to a favour able issue. He thought it his duty to say so much, and he assured them lie would do what he could to sustain the Caledonian scheme before the House in its original integrity. At present they were labouring under this unfavourable decision, but such had been the unac countable want of business conduct on the part of the gentlemcn who composed the Committee, that he would be much surprised indeed if they (th e Company) yet did not get justice done.—(Cheers.) Mr. VANDERWALL recalled the attention of the meet ing to the question of interest on the deposits. Mr. HODGSON, M.P., said the meeting was not com petent to entertain that question today. Under present circumstances considerable advantage might result from an arrangement for the payment of interest, and there fore he did not object to it. He had formerly thought such a course was not advisable, but as many other Companies had acted upon this plan he would not oppose it, and it would no doubt receive the attentive considera tion of the Committee. With regard to the Glasgow and Dumfries scheme, it would be found that the ques tion had been decided by the Committee on the question of its local merits, and independent of the consideration of its being an independent competing trunk line with the Caledonian. If so, then it was a clear question for the House of Com mons at large to enter upon. He hoped the subject would be brought fully and fairly before Parliament, in order to see whether they who sanctioned the Celt,- donian line last year would allow another com peting trunk line to be constructed against it now. The CHAIRMAN then took the vote of the meeting on the whole of the Bills submitted, which was as follows: Scrip represented at the meeting— Assents Dissents Neuter The CHAIRMAN declared that this concluded the busi ness of the meeting. Mr. BUCKLEY Moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man for his great attention to the interests of the Com pany and his conduct that day. Mr. ASTON seconded the motion, which was put and carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the manifesta tion of feeling just shown, and said nothing would so much encourage him to labour in their behalf as the consciousness that he possessed the confidence of such a body. The meeting then separated. CANALS. ".: Names of ~ Dividend Price. ‘ 7,' per Price.

Mr. MACKAY then read the announcement of the meeting, which he stated had been inserted in all the newspApers, and in the London and Edinburgh Gazettes, as required hv the sessional order of Parliament. The CrurrisrArt proceeded to address the meeting to the following effect:—Gentlemen, -it is now my duty to submit for your consideration the Bills, the names of which have been read to you, in order that your decision may be taken upon them. But before submitting them to you let me, in the first place, call your attention to the most unexpected deci. THE SUN, LOIN DON, TtUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1846. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court at its sitting delivered some judgments ; but they were devoid of any special interest calling for a particular report. The Court then proceeded to hear arguments upon demurrers which stood over for discussion. WHITTAKER V. RICHARDS. This was an action of assumpsit, involving several breaches of the covenants of an agreement, and was in teresting as a question often arising between landlord and tenant. It now came before the Court in the shape of a special demurrer, assuming the character and form of a general demurrer set up by the defendant to the plain tiff's delaration. It appeared that a gentleman named Jones leased for a term of years certain premises at Highgate to the plaintiff in this action, Mr. Whittaker, a solicitor in Lincoln's Inn, and thst there were several covenants in the lease binding plaintiff, and amongst them one to keep the premises in a state of re pair during the term of his holding. Plaintiff sublet the premises to the defendant for a term of two years, short of one day ; and the defendant in the agreement was alleged to have bound himself to the performance on his part of " all the covenants" in the original agree ment between plaintiff and Mr. Jones. Piaiatiff's de claration pleaded that defendant had thus bound himself to keep the premises in repair, and that not merely for the term of his taking, but for the larger term of seven years, for which plaintiff was bound to keep them in re pair. To this the plaintiff demurred, and the case now came on tss be argued. Mr. PEACOCK • appeared for the plaintiff, and con tended for the larger construction, maintaining that the defendant had made himself liable, upon strict investiga tion of the agreement, to keep the promises in repair fur the term of the plaintiff's holding the agreement showing that he had bound himself to take the premises, subject to all the covenants in the original lease. Mr. BURNT, for the defeinlasit, held the contrary; and submitted that the plaintiff's declaration was ambiguous; that it would be absurd to suppose that the defendant would for a moment bind himself to the fulfilment of " all the covenants " in the original lease; as, for in stance, the covenant binding plaintiff to pay his rent. Surely the Court would not for a moment suppose that the defendant would bind himself to that covenant ? Looking, then, at the case altogether, he (Mr. Burni) submitted to the Court that the construc tion of the agreement was limited, the defendant intend ing the narrower construction of two sears when he took the premises; that the plaintiff's declaration was bad, and that the judgment should be for the defendant. The Court conferred together for some time, and de livered judgment in favour of the plaintiff, the Learned Judges respectively holding that, in the terms of the agreement, the defendant had put himself in the position of the plaintiff respecting the repairs, and bound himself to the covenants for plaintiff's term, it appearing to the Court that he took the premises with that understanding. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of June 2.) StraAn.—To-day the British Plantation Sugar market was cleared, but busine3s will be resumed to-morrow. A fair quantity is declared for public sale. REFINED.—The home trade have purchased all descriptions of refined goods with caution since last Tuesday, although there are sellers upon lower terms, the market is better sup plied as the refiners continue to work freely. Pieces have been sparingly dealt in, and lower rates are taken. For Bas tards rather lower rates having been taken occasioned large parcels to be disposed of. For Treacle the demand is brisk, but the supply is small of all kinds, prices in consequence rule high. Matiairms.—There has been little business transacted by private treaty in refining or grocery descriptions, and 9,286 bags and casks at auction did not generally bring previous prices, but the whole found buyers. EEST INDlA.—Although there are sellers of all descriptions of Bengal by private treaty rather under previous rates, still little business has been transacted, and none has been brought to dublic sale. All Foreign East India sorts are still wanted, and the supply continuing to be small prices still rule high. Manilla has been disposed of to a very fair extent privately. FOREIGN.—TO-day several inquiries existed for nearly all descriptions of Foreign Sugar, but holders insisting upon stiffer rates, business of moment was prevented privately; and only 100 cases of brown Maceio were sold for arrival at 18s. per cwt. None was offered at,, , public sale; but some parcels are declared. TEA.—None has again been offered public sale, but the market has assumed a dull appearance, and in some cases rather lower rates have been accepted for black, but green is held for the fortner currency.

None has again been offered at auction; arrivals continue small, the stock is less than it was last year, and prices are lower, but the deliveries continue on a small scale only.

A court martial was held on board the flag-ship Vin- dictive, on Thursday last, and continued by adjourn ment, on Friday, for investigating charges preferred against James Chimmo, Esq., purser of H.M.S. Alarm, by Captain Frankland, of same ship. The charges were . 1. For accusing Captain Frank land of tyranny, injustice, and oppression, and for for warding the same otherwise than through his command ing officer ; and 2, For accusing Captain Frankland of inviting his (Mr. C.'s) messmates to hear what idle and malicious persons on shore hail to say. The Court was composed of—Vice-Admiral Sir F. Austen, President ; Captains Lambert and Seymour, Commanders Scott and Coryton ; Mr. Jeans, the Ad miral's secretary, officiated as Judge Advocate. At the opening of the Court, at nine o'clock, the de fendant made ,s few observations. lle said, he claimed the just consideration of the Court on account of the un heard of circumstances of there having been but fifteen hours between the time when a copy of the charges were delivered to him and the hour appointed for opening the Court. Up to 45 minutes past 5 on the evening previ ous, he was altogether ignorant of what the charges were. He had been up all night in order to prepare for trial, while, by the Queen's regulations, he should have been allowed not less than twenty-four hours. Should he be guilty of any informality in addressing the Court, or in putting questions, he hoped due allowance would be made, as this was the only instance, during his whole term of actual service, now embracing a period of thirty years, of his having been before, or even in attendence on a Court Martial. The President observed that Mr. Chimmo was at liberty to move, if he pleased, a post ponement of the sitting of the Court. This was re• spectfully declined by Mr. Chimmo ; he wished to take no step which might delay her Majesty's service, and put the Court to much inconvenience. The examination of the respective witnesses on both sides bore upon the demeanour and conduct of the ac cuser and the accused. But the real origin of the rupture was not looked into, neither could it be ; it having been investigated and finally settled by the Admiralty long since. The Court, therefore, exhibited the anomalous position of a tribunal assembled to investigate the truth or falsity of charges, while the matters which lay at the bottom of the whole affair were beyond its reach, having been conclusively set at rest several years since. It was proved during the trial, upon the testimony of Captain Frankland himself; that he had recommended the gun-room officers to go ashore and learn for them selves of the defendant's conduct while he was at Ber muda some years ago. As to Mr. Chimmo's character being in accordance with that of au officer and a gentle man while serving in the Alarm, Captain Frankland admitted in open court that it was perfect, and as to his position at tho Admiralty, Captain Frankland stated that Mr. Chimmo's character stands high at the Admi ralty Board. On Friday Mr. Chimmo made his defence. He said, he was appointed to the Alarm in Novvember last, and from that, time he had observed, in many trifling eases, a prejudice against him on the part of Captain Frank land. Captain F. wrote to the Admiralty to inquire into his (Mr. C's) conduct touching certain circumstances at Bermuda in 1838, to which he received no answer. On applying personally he found, as he himself stated, every thing favourable. The day after the ship arrived at Bermuda, he was sent for by Captain F., who said that having heard un favourable things of him here, he should insist on Mr. C. leaving the ship. He was refused all opportunity to explain. He was told by Captain F. that he must not expect to be happy in that ship--that out of her either he or the Captain must go—and that while he remained he (Captain F.) would make his position most unhappy. His first impulse was to seek to be superseded, but subsequent circumstances promped him to remain to vin dicate his character. He respectfully wrote Capt. F. requesting a statement of the malicious reports against his character; this letter the Captain threw overboard in presence of the officers and several of the crew. Finding his situation becoming more and more painful, he wrote the Commander-in - Chief, and represented the whole state of affairs. The fate his former letter met with at the hands of Capt. F. prevented him from transmitting the representation of his case through that official channel. If he had erred herein, he begged to express contrition, and trusted the Court would take all the circumstances into con sideration. With reference to charge Ist, he would observe that in the copy officially furnished him, the first is stated to be for accusing Capt. F. of "tyranny, injustice, and oppression," whilst the charge brought against him on the trial was for accusing the captain of cruelty, op pression, and injustice." The discrepancy, he conceived, vitiated the charge ; besides, in view of this charge, he would press the fact of his public letter having been thrown overboard. Whatever might have been his con duct at Bermuda formerly, the matter had been adjudi cated by the Lords of the Admiralty, and the fact of his having been appointed, quite unsolicited, to the Alarm, is a proof of their Lordships' approbation. To try a man twice for the same offence was contrary to the just and humane laws of our country ; yet, in defiance of this, old and settled affairs had been raked up against him. Regarding 2d charge, he would observe that theie mkht be a difference in the acceptation of the words invite and recommend; yet Captain F. admitted, in evi dence, that he recommended the officers to do what has been already stated. Under all the circumstances, he hoped for the favour able consideration of the Court ; and in submitting numerous testimonials of thirty years' highly creditable service, he fully and confidently relied on the justice and good feeling of the Court to absolve him from the un merited c h arges with which he had been most violent l y assailed. The Court was cleared for a short time; or ; re opened, it s d ecision was pronounced T Chimmo be di sm i ssed the ship.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 1. (Sittings in Banco.) TURNER V. DARLINGTON. This was an application by Mr. Bodkin for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the plain tiff should not be discharged from prison, to which he was committed by a magistrate for an alleged breach of a contract entered into between him and his employer. It appeared that plaintiff is a working miner, and had, with many other workmen, entered into a contract with the defendant to work in the mines of the latter for a term of eleven months, under certain regulations. The plaintiff and the other workmen absented themselves from the works for reasons which they assigned to be good and sufficient, and for this the defendant laid a complaint against them before a magistrate in Lanca shire, where the mines are situated, and they were by this functioMary committed to prison, upon the ground that they had violated their contract. The case now came on to be argued. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddleston appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Cowling, Mr. James, and Mr. Fry for the defendant. The COURT, havin4 heard the arguments on the one side and the other, decided that there was not sufficient in the information to warrant the committal in this case, for that various just reasons might arise to warrant a man in absenting himself from his work without any breach of contract—such, fur instance, as the act of God. On the whole, in this case it did not appear to the Court that there was any violation of the contract by the plaintiff: Mr. 13omint, counsel for plaintiff, here remarked that there were five others in the same position, and that the decision in this case would govern the whole. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 30. (Sittings in Banco.) WALSTAB v. SPOTTISWOODE. The arguments in this case were resumed and con cluded to-day. - It may be remembered that this was an action brought by an allottee of scrip in the Direct Birmingham, Oxford, Reading, and Brighton Railway, to recover from the de fendant, as a provisional committeeman thereof, the amount of the deposit paid on 30 shares in that scheme, which was not proceeded with in the present session of Parliament for lack of funds, there being only 4,000 de posits out of 70,000 shares which had been issued. The declaration contained a special count on an alleged con tract by the defendant to give to the plaintiff 30 shares in the propesed railway, in consideration that the plain - tiff would pay the deposits and sign the deeds which are usually required in such cases, and it averred the pay ment of the deposit, and a readiness to comply with tf,e other conditions, and a breach by the defendant on his part. A second count was in the common form for money had and receive d. To these the defendant pleaded non assumpsit, and a verdict having passed at the trial for the plaintiff under the direction of the Chief Baron, a rule nisi was obtained to enter a nonsuit on the ground of mis direction, which now came on for argument. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Willes showed cause on behalf of the plaintiff'. There were three questions raised by this case. As to the first point, it was contended that the contract was proved, inasmuch as it was set forth fully in the letters of application and of allotment, which were in the usual terms employed by promoters of such schemes, and contained an express promise, on the part of the defendant, as a provisional committeeman, made by the secretary of the company on his behalf, that if the plaintiff would pay the deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d. per share, and subscribed certain deeds, the letter of allot ment with the bankers' receipts would be exchanged at the office for scrip certificates, on a certain day. When the plaintiff applied for her scrip, she was informed by the secretary, and Mr. Blunt, the chairman, that the committee had resolved to wind up the scheme under counsel's advice, and that she could not have her shares or her money, for the latter was all spent in prelimi nary expenses, except perhaps a small surplus, which would be returned to her in common with the other de positors on 4,000 shares, if any was ultimately found to exist. This the provisional directors had no rig ht to do, the retention of this money, or any part of it, being in direct violation of the contract jet forth in the letter of allotment. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—The argument of the &fen • dant is, that there is no such contract in that letter. Mr. WILLES—The contract is in tEe last letter, and not in the two together, and if any part of the second letter is an intimation, why not all of it ? The great question, however, arises under the second count, which is for 78/. 155., as for money had and received by the defendant to the use of the plaintiff, the groundwork of that count being, that that sum having been paid by the plaintiff without any consideration being received for it, the defendant is bound to r es t ore the whole of it to her as a provisional committeeman of this scheme, which, as she contends, is wholly abandoned. The defendant, however, contends that he is entitled to retain the whole or such part of this sum as has been spent in legitimate preliminary preparations for forming this Company ; but this question has been already decided iu the case of " Nockells v. Crosby," 3 B. mtnd C., 814, where it was held that if such a scheme be abandoned under similar circumstances, the subscribers are entitled to sue the promoters for the whale of their deposits as for money had and received. This case was decisive of this argument. — Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Was there any proof that that sum had been so deposited ? If only 4,000 deposits were paid out of 70,000, I doubt whether the promoters ought to do anything till the whole deposits are paid up. Mr. WILLES—That is the contention of the plaintiff. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—It seems that of this sum 21. 10s. per share was received by the defendant under a strict bargain to do a specific thing with it, namely, to deposit it under the standing orders. That disposes of 751., which was paid by the plaintiff for that specific pur pose, which excludes all idea of spending it in prelimi nary expenses. On the other hand, as to the 105. per 100/., or 2s. 6d. on each share, it seems to me very much as though that was required for the purpose of being spent in forming the company. The CHIEF BARON—And that must be required to meet future expenses, not to pay bygone engineers and surveyors. . _ _ Mr. Baron ALDERSON—And then only when there are 80,000 shares subscribed for. 't .Nockells v. Crosby" is for you as to the 21. 10s., and against you as to the 2s. 6d. per share. Mr. MARTIN, Mr. F. V. Lee, and Mr. Peacock, in support of the rule, protested, in the first instance, against the turn which the argument had taken through the suggestion of Mr. Baron Alderson. There was no distinction taken between the 101. per cent. and the 103. per cent. at the trial, nor were the standing orders re ferred to once. It so happened that the sum paid in cluded 101. per cent. and 2s. 6d. per share; but no allusion was made at the trial to this point; and if the Court were to depart from the common understanding at trials,when cases came on for argument parties would never know how to conduct their cases. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue that the contract set forth in the declaration had not been proved by the letters. With respect to the second count, the plaintiff caanot be entitled to recover the whole of this deposit in any view of the case. If the Court should hold that the defendant was responsible to that extent they would decide in effect that parties might specu late and gamble in these schemes, and, risking nothing, run the chance of gaining everything. The law might so hold, but if " Nockells v. Crosby" were to be decided a hundred times over, he (Mr. Martin) would still contend that gross injustice had been perpetrated by it. Appearing there for Mr. Spottiswoode, who was thus attacked, he (Mr. Martin) felt himself justified in protecting him on strictly technical grounds, and he mutt now deny that there was any evidence to prove that this company had been abandoned in the first place, that being the foundation of the plaintiff's cause of action on the said count. What Mr. Blunt said was no evi dence against Mr. Spottiswoodo. The CHIEF BARON—No; but the evidence was not objected to, and formed part of your cross-examination. Mr. MARTIN—At all events there was nothing to show that there was a total abandonment ; neither was there evidence that the promoters bound themselves to go to Parliament in this session. Difficulties might prevent their doing so now, but they might go on next session, and until it clearly was proved that there had been a total failure of consideration, this action could not be sustained to recover back the de posit. The Company had an existence under its provi sional registration for twelve months, and the committee had no power under the Act to dissolve it. It'still existed, therefore, and might be yet carried out. Under these circumstances, therefore, the Learned Counsel submitted that the rule to enter a nonsuit must be made absolute on one or other of the grounds on which it had been granted. The plaintiff had asked for an allotment of shares ; that she had got, and it remained to be seen whether the scheme was abandoned. The CHIEF BARON—The Court will take time to consider its judgment in this case, which is most im portant. Mr. BaroN ALDERSON—I . confess I cannot distinguish this case from " Nockells v. Crosby," unless the scheme be not abandoned. That is a question of fact, on which there was very slight evidence indeed. It may turn out that it is not abandoned. Judgment deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Louis Pontowsky, a foreigner, who pretended that he could not speak a word of English, was brought before Alderman Gibba for final examination charged with having stolen a clock, the property of the Directors of the Marine Assurance Company in Cornhill, and a watch, the property of Mr. Johnson, perfumer, of Cornhill. John Baker, a City policeman, stated in, answer to questions put by Alderman Gibbs, that the prisoner spoke the English language perfectly well as they came along the streets from the Compter to the Mansi. - ,n llouse ' and understood the nature of the charges again st him. Witness also said that, upon apprehending the prisoner for stealing the clock, he found in his waistcoat pocket a watch which Mr. Johnson identified. Mr. Robert Johnson, of No. GS, Cornhill, stated that some days before the prisoners apprehension, he had deposited his gold watch in the drawer of a looking glass in one 'of the upper rooms in the house. The thief must have walked into the house in the broad day, and had taken away several trinkets of value which had been deposited in the same p l ace. The prisoner said, "Me no speak a word of English. Me not steal any Ling. Alderman GIBBs.—I shall commit you for trial, robbery. I dare say you'll understo o d th at for The prisoner.—No ;me not u n d erstand one word you say.—(A laugh.) The prisoner was then committed for trial. Frederick Chapman, a millwright just arrived from Bedfordshire, was charged by Mr. Gale, solicitor, of Basinghall-street, with having assaulted several females walking that morning from St. Paul's to the Poultry. The defendant WM quite lively and indifferent for a while. cruelt. Mr. Gale said that as he walked along St. Paul's, he saw the defendant with a big half across his shoulder apparently filled with implements of eork, which he swung about in such a menner, that many females were struck by it, and no dreubt hurt. The fellow cared nething about expostulation, but laughed at the mischief he was doing and jogged on, thrusting his bag Gf tools against the women whom he seemed to have marked out for that sort of sport. There was no policeman visible until witness reached the Poultry, when he instantly gave the defendant into custody. A gentleman, who had been walking in Cheapside at the time, said that he received the first notice of the de fendant's ruffianism by a blow from the bag of tools him self. He heard several ladies complain. The defendant, in fact, walked as if there wai no person in the street except himself, although Vie crowds were great. Alderman GIBBS—Was he drunk?—The witness said there was no appearance of intoxication about the man. The defendant—l couldn't be drunk, for all I drinked was one poiht of beer, and that wouldn't make I drunk. Alderman GIBBS —And what have you to say? The defendant—Why, oy was going along quoick enough, and the people pushed, and oy warn't to blame. (Here he looked round and laughed.) Alderman GIBBS—You have just come from the country? The defendant—Oy; just corned by railway, and I'm going to another part of the country to work. Alderman GIBBS en you must pay twenty shidings for this conduct, or go to prison for fourteen days. The defendant—What, poy twenty shillings! I ha'n't got no twenty shillings to poy. Alderman GIBBS—Then you must go to gaol. We must not have I eople knocked about in this way. The coutryman retired from the bar in amazement, and upon geting close to the " lock-up," appealed to some of the policemen, and supplicated their influence with the alderman to induce him to reverse the sentence. Finding, however, that his intentions were thrown away, he said, " Well, I'll pay the money, but moind, I I think it's very cruel." Ann Wood, a well-known imposter, was charged with having shammed fits in the street. The prisoner played her old character to such per fection, that several persons supposed she was in the agonies of death, and medical aid was procured, but the surgeon who saw her, knew the nature of her disease, and caused her to be taken to the police-station' where she speedily recovered, and begged to be allowed to go home unassisted. Alderman GIBBS said, that upon one occasion, the prisoner had been sent to her parish in the country, but she arrived in town some time before the officer who was ordered to accompany her, She was committed to Briiiewell for two months. MARYLEBONE. THE ENRAGED OFFICER OF MARINES AND THE BOOTHAKER—EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.—Lieutenant Gun Mahon, of the Royal Marines, who resides at No. 31, Cambridge-place, Edgeware-road, was charged with having assaulted John Bushley Simmons, under the fol lowing extraordinary circumstances : Complainant stated that he was shopman to his bro ther, 29, Upper York-street, and that on the previous Monday morning, agreeably to orders, he was taking home a pair of boots for defendant to try on, when he (defendant) met him on the road, and having ascertained from him that the boots were his, desired him to carry them to his dwelling, at the same time telling him that upon his call ing for the money in the evening he would ba paid. Not liking to leave the boots without the sanction of his employer, he returned with them to the shop, and at seven in the evening again repaired with them to the house, when the servant by whom he was admitted told him that he must wait a little while, as defend ant was then with another gentleman. In the course of five minutes he was sent for by defendant, and on going into the apartment in which the two gentlemen were, he (defendant) told him that, for his master's insolence, he should neither have money nor boots. The bell was rung, and on a carving-knife being brought in by direction of defendant, he cut the leg part of the boots into several pieces, having done which, he threw the feet, or slippers, towards com plainant, whom he threatened to kick out of the place in the event of his not leaving very speedily. Complain ant added, that he at length quitted the house, but not before defendant had rushed upon him and knocked him down upon the sofa, threatening that he would give him a d—d good licking, if it cost him 5/. Defendant's answer to the charge was, that the com plainant impudently walked into the room while he was at dinner with his friend, Captain Tringham, and, seating himself, expressed his intention of remaining in the com fortable position he was occupying, as he felt very tired, and refused to leave on being told to call in the mornii:g. He (defendant) admitted having cut off the top parts of the boots, but denied having laid hands upon complainant at all. Defendant said he had no witnesses in attendance, his friend Captain Tringham being engaged with Sir George Cockburn at the Admiralty. Walter Dickenson said that he was nephew of the landlady, and that complainant was not knocked down on the sofa. Defendant certainly did cut the boots into se veral pieces. Lieutenant Mahon was ordered to enter into his own recognizance for his appearance to answer the charge at the sessions, in the event of an indictment being preferred against him. Mr. Wontner—What am I to do, your worship, about getting paid for the boots which have been de stroyed ? Mr. RAWLINSON—I can't get the money for you ; I think you have been used very badly, and you know the course which I have left open to you. PEACE WARRANT.—Mr. Conrad Cooper was charged with having threatened to put a bullet into Mr. Storey, a dentist, carrying on business in Fleet-street, and who re sides in Nelson-square, Blackfriars-road. Mr. Woutner attended for complainant, and another solicitor for defendant. A great deal of evidence pro and con. was gone into, from which it appeared that for some time past defendant, who at one period had lived with complainant, and who was also a dentist, had continually annoyed him, and threatened complainant, whom he had vowed to " bullet," as sworn to in the warrant. Defendant was held to bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each, for his appearance at the sessions. WORSHIP-STREET. CHARGES OF FRAUD. —George Keal, a rather re spectable looking elderly man, with very plausible man ners, was placed before Mr. Broughton for examination, upon a charge of defrauding Mr. John Spencer, a beer shop keeper, at Stoke Newington. The prisoner, it appeared, had called at Messrs, Lane and Co s., brewers, to inquire if there was any public house in their trade to be disposed of, stating that he was out of business himself, but wanted a house for his son ; and Mr. Perry, the manager of Messrs. Lane's brewery, gave him a card to the complainant, Spencer, who wished to sell his business. The prisoner drove the same day in a chaise to the complainant's, accompanied by a young man whom he introduced as his sun, and producing Mr. Perry's card, entered at once upon the matter in question, stating that he was himself a free vintner who had made enough to live independently, but wished to put his son into business. The complainant observed that the house which he was about to dispose of was a very good one, and that he should require 8001. for the lease, and 3501. for fixtures, &c , to which the prisoner replied that, although money was no object, he certainly would not give more than 700/. for that house. After much conversation, however, over cigars and ale, he agreed to give 750/, and proposed to leave at once 501. as a deposit, until the agreement could be formally, completed. He then drew a cheque for the 50/. upon Jones Loyd and Co., with whom he said he banked, and as he was going away carelessly remarked that he had come out without cash, and asked the complainant to lend him half a crown until tl:e following day. The complainant mace no difficulty about that, but upon in quiry at Messrs. Jones Loyd and Ce's., he ascertained that the cheque drawn upon them by the prisoner was fictitious, and soon after he found the prisoner at another house in his neighbourhood, bargaining for that in a precisely similar way. At the first examination, Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, recognised the prisoner as having been in custody at Bow-street, upon similar charges, several years back. Mr. BROUGHTON, the magistrate, now made known, that in consequence of the publicity given to the first examination, he had received a communication from Dublin, which he now produced. The communication was addressed to the magistrate by " Mr. Thomas Stirling, of the Royal Canal -terrace, Dublin," who wrote that he had himself been victimised by a Mr. George Keal, the same person, he believed, whose examination at Worship-street he had just seen in the London papers. The case was this :—An adver tisement appeared in the Dublin papers which induced him to become Keel's agent for the purchase of fowls, eggs, &c., and he had actually transmitted goods to the firm to the amount of 211,, and had received Keel's bill for 20/., made payable at Mesa's. Latouche and Co., Dublin, but which he had reason to fear was mere waste paper, and would never be honoured. Mr. Dent, a furniture dealer, in Crawford-street, pre ferred a charge against the prisoner, who, on the 13th ult., ordered 17/. worth of goods to be sent to him in South-street, Manchester-square. He was to pay on delivery, but managed to get possession without pay ment. Since his arrest part of the goods, now in pos session of the police, had been found in the cellar at the house in South-street. cha T r h g e es wereprisoner was LAMBETH. mt him. de d for a week as fresh expec gateadaign re manded GROSS CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Gartland, a wag• goner in the service of was Mr. charged Jam e s beAtkins,fcre Mr. of R i Elliottd e s - down, near Croydon , with grossly tortu rin g a horse, the property pos ed of that,his master. G e orge 'Weston, an ex-police sergeant, de about eleven o'clock that forenoon, he saw the prisoner drive a team of three horses, with a waggon -load of li me . The shaft-horse had its tongue secured at about unednd the of. h a ea s t a l, st a i nd lin p e a ' rt th . l a e f the ao thh ee m dr i e d n fi d l e o , i vy w i t cah nooseNwas tieden trho e ge-stake screwed in it alone; the jaw to tighten it. The horse, at the time, - efts kicking violently a prisoner st r u c k i t repeattAly with his clenched fist n o d n t tb h o e nese. Obser v i rg t h e animal was in shocking state, its was hanging out of its m ou th tot 8 tongue, whi c h con siderable extent, being very much swollen, a n d bl ee di ng profusely f rom a deep wound caused by the tightness of the noose, he (witness) proceeded to the station-house at Brixton and procured the assistance of a constable, who took the prisoner into custody. On returning to the waggon with the constable the cord was in a different position, and in a manner which put the animal, if pos sible, to more pain than before, for the blood was flowing much more copiously from its mouth, and the prisoner threw several handfuls of dust on the wound to prevent the appearance of its bleeding so much. A police constable corroborated the evidence of the last witness. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, the horse was a regular kicker, and he was obliged to drive him by the orders of his master. He denied, however, that the wa3 to the exi Lt stated b., the witness WcFiton and the policeman loith declared they had not at ali exaggerated the facts, and said, that every person who had scen the animal were dreadfully shccked at tb cruelty which had been exercised towards it. Weston added, that there was a scc , .-nd horse in the waggon which was in a very tirfit state to be at work, as it had a largo festering sure on its near hip, from which matter was then exuding, and attended with a quantity of flies, so that its sufferings must have bco - a very g reat. Mr. ELLIOTT, addressing the p r i soner , observed it was quite clear he had been guilty of the grossest cruelty he (Mr. Elliott) had ever heard of ; and the sentence of the court, therefore, was, that he pay the highest penalty, the law inflicted, namely, 405., or, in default, to stand urn mitted to prison for fourteen days. SOUTBWARK. AN INVETERATE .I ; rcxrochET.—./arnes Wilson, quite a youth, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with pickirg the pocket of a woman ; and, when taken into custody for that offence, and locked up in cell, there robbing a f e ll ow -p r i soner o f Lome s il ver. It appeared th a t on S atur d ay n i g h t, a por woman, named Marks, w e nt t o a p awn b ro k er ' s s h op i n t h e New Cut for the purp ose o f re d eem i ng some art i c l es she had in pledge. Whil e s h e was wa i t i ng to b e serve d in one of the boxes, s h e f e l t a twitch at her side, and ile; mediately caught th e prisoner withdrawir.g his band from her pocket, and wi th th e su dd en j erk some o f the money she hrld there fell upon th e fl oor, b ut sufficient was found still remaining i n hi s h an d to b r i ng h om e the charge of felony against him. Th e pr i soner wa s then taken to the Tower -street station, and placed in a cell with a man named Thompson, who, on being locked up on a petty charge, declared he had no money about him, and thus prevented the police from searching him, to take care of whatsoever cash he had about him. In the course of the night, the prisoner called out from the cell that his fellow-prisoner was throwing money at him in the dark, and he begged to be released from the society of such a liberal companion. The policeman, on en" tering the cell, found Thompson asleep, and his pockets turned inside out, although the prisoner had prevrous/Y declared that that person had pelted him with money:: The sleeper was awakened, and he then admitted that he had conceale the fact of his having money! never dreaming that he would be deprived of it in the cell. The prisoner, on the other hand, was loud in his declarations of innocence, and boldly stood forward to challenge the most scruti nizing search, throwing his jacket and waistcoat open, and pulling inside out all his pockets. " There," said he, " I hope I have satisfied you I have not robbed the gentleman. The policeman, however, was not satisfied with what was done, and on instituting a further search he at length discovered a quantity of silver, taken from Thompson when he was asleep by the prisoner, care fully tied up in the corner of the shirt of the latter. The prisoner, in the must impud en t manner , said that although appearances were against him, yet he was innocent. The prisoner, who betrayed no feeling, was then sent for trial. THAMES. ASSAULT BY AN AMERICAN WITH A BOWIE KNIFE."'" A man of git , ,antic proportions, named John Webster, alias Crowther, an American seaman, was brought before Mr. Broderip, charrtd with chminitting a murderous assault on Edward Connor, a lame man, and attempting to stab him with a knife. The American seamen in the port of London are in the habit of wearing large knives in a sheath, have, on many occasions, used them. The practice !! attended with very great danger,a very narrow and in this case it wlll e be seen that the prosecutor had escape e' his life.and they The complainant stated that he was at the Phcen,if 0 public-house i n U pper E ast Smithfield, nea r the " Katherine Do c k.
