I have been promised attention to my claims many tim,s from all the Mint !rs, but those promises have been unattended with Mr. litatuELL—What claims? Dr. Quail—They are for seventeen years' pay and pension for services to Greece, Poland, and Portugal. 25,000/. per annum is accredited to this Government from Portugal to pay the Legion, to which _ . I belong, and of which I hav - e never received - a fraction, and have been engaged diplomatically since 1833 to establish the claims. There is credit open upon the revenue of Greece, upon which I have a claim of 15,0001., since 1829, whilst the Government are also indebted to me in the amount of 50/. a year, for eight years from Poland. The British Parlia ment accords 12,0001. a year to pay the Polish refugee army, but I have not been paid any subsidy since 1837. Dr. Quail was proceeding, when -INlr. BURRELL stopped him by observing, " This is not a matter, sir, which I can entertain." Dr. Quail—The repeated promises with respect to these claims have never been fulfilled. Mr. BURRELL —I have nothing whatever to do, sir, with matters of this description. Dr. Quail, however, proceeded, and after urging with much earnestness what he, no doubt, considered the strong points of his case, added, I wish for a warrant, sir, against the Secre tary of the Treasury, that he may be brought before you to discuss the motive for my being deprived of my rights. Mr. BURRELL (smiling)—(,h no, I could not think of doing that. 1 here is not the slightest ground for entertaining such an application. Dr. Quail—But the Ministers are amenable to the laws as well as ourselves. Mr. turtnELL—That n:ay be, but certainly not in the way you propose. I must repeat, I have nothing to do, sir, with such matters. Dr. Quail again went on to urge his claims, until the pa tience of the worthy magistrate was almost exhausted ; and, after repeatedly assuring the applicant that the case was one in which he could not interfere, withdrew, as did soon after the learned doctor. WORSHIP-STREET. Michael Marlow, the man who stands charged with utter ing several forged cheques, drawn in the name of Mr. Henry Timpson, a gentleman of property residing near South ampton, and made payable at the banking-house of Sir Richard C. Glynn and Co., in Lombard-street, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, for re-examination. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, Solicitors to the Bankers' Society, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Heritage attended fbr the defence. It will be recollected that in the course of last year the prisoner had presented cheques similar to those now under investigation to Mr. Hubble, a licensed victualler, at tipper Clapton, in payment of arders he had given on account of a lady named Tait, residing in that neighbourhood, and a near relative of the prosecutor, and the whole of which cheques had always previously been paid. On the 24th of December last, however, he purchased a bottle of brandy of that wit ness, in the name of Mrs. Tait, for which he paid with a 10/. cheque upon Messrs. Glyn and Co., purporting to be drawn in favour of a Mr. William Timps: n, and to be signed by Mr. Henry Timpson, the prosecutor, and this cheque, upon afterwards being presented at the banking-house, was pronounced to be a forgery. After much formal evidence had been adduced, tracing the . . transit of the cheque through numerous hands until it was finally stopped at Messrs. Glyn's, The prosecutor, Mr. Henry Thomas Timpson, was exa mined, and stated that he had for some years kept an account with that firm, and always been in the habit of drawing his cheques upon blank paper, similar to the cheque produced, several of which he had transmitted during the last twelve month to Mr. William Timpson, of Morden College, Black heath, a first cousin of his, and also to Mrs. Tait, of Upper Clapton, the daughter of that gentleman. The cheque now produced was not in his handwriting, and he had never au thorised any one to sign it in his behalf. The prisoner was an entire stranger to him, and he bad never seen him, to the best of his recollection, until that day. Mrs. Louisa Tait, the wife of Mr. - Monkhouse Tait, of Up per Clapton, stated that about the latter end of February, ' 1844, her father was residing near her, and being very infirm and helpless, had employed the prisoner and his wife, who, with, their family, were in great distress, the one as nurse and the other as confidential servant and occasional amanu ensis, he being unable himself to write, in consequence of being affected with gout in the hands. He bad been in the habit of receiving cheques from the prosecutor, but never employed the prisoner to get cash for any of them, and had neither on the day in question authorised him to procure brandy in her name. nor seen the cheque produced, until it was returned from the bankers and declared to be a forgery. The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, reserved his defence, and was fully committed for trial upon this charge. A second case was then gone into, in which the prisoner had, on or ab ut the 16th of December, uttered a cheqne for the same amount as in the former case, and the circumstances connected with which were almost identical with those at taching to the first. The testimony, in both eases, having been reduced to de positions, and read over in the presence of the prisoner, Mr. Heritage applied for the sanction of the magistrate to inspect certain letters and documents which had been discovered in the house of the prisoner, and which he was of opinion would form essential evidence in the conduct of the defence he was instructed to set up in behalf of his client, the substance of which was, that the charge was the result of a conspiracy by two other persons, who were, in fact, the parties really guilty of the forgeries, and in whose hands the prisoner had been a mere unconscious instrument in carrying out their practices. Mr. Bush said that he had no objection to allow the Learned Gentleman free access to any papers he might wish to consult in preparing his defence; and the Magistrate ordered the police, in whose custody they were, to afford him every facility for that purpose. Mr. Bush then stated, that in addition to the charges already established against the prisoner, there were two other distinct cases of uttering similar forged cheques, which he expected to be able to bring clearly home to the accused, but lie should require further time to collect the evidence neces sary for their completion. The prisoner was accordingly fully committed for trial on both the charges now gone into, and ordered to be brought up again next week to answer any others that may be pre ferred. IRELAND. LAW APPOINTMENTS. DUBLIN, JAN. 11.—Amongst the rumours afloat is one that Baron Lefroy is to be transferred to the Rolls' Court, and that Mr. Blackburne, the present Master of the Rolls, is to get the Chief Justiceship of the Queen's Bench. This would cause a vacancy amongst the puisne Birons of the Exchequer, which it is not at all likely the present Attorney-General would accept. As term begins to-morrow,official we shall probably have an an• nou ncement of the appointments. THE BISHOP OF CASHEL AND WATERFORD. Dr. Daly, Lord Bishop of Cashel and Waterford, has addressed the following letter to the Waterford Chronicle. His Lordship contradicts the statement of Colonel Jones, saying that he had presented a gift of 80,0001. to his nephew, and announces the interesting fact that he will soon cease to be a bachelor " TO THE EDITOR OF THE WATERFORD CHRONICLE. "The Bilton Hotel, Dublin, 9th January, 1846. " Sir,—My attention has just been directed to a para graph copied by most of the Dublin journals from your paper, stating, that on the occasion of the marriage of the Honourable Miss A'Court, daughter of the Lord- Lieutenant, with the Hon. Mr. Daly, son of Lord Dun sandle, the Bishop of Cashel, uncle of the bridegroom, bestowed upon his nephew the splendid gift of 80,000/.' " Now, Sir, I beg you will take the earliest oppor tunity to disabuse the public mind of such an error. I bestowed no such sum of money, or any pecuniary gift whatever, upon my nephew. " I am by no means so rich as to have so much funded property at my disposal, and as I don't always intend to remain a bachelor bishop' (the polite phrase applied to me by the Dublin Pilot, commenting on your mis-state ment), I should not deem it prudent to be so liberal to my kinsmen as you would fain make the public believe. " I have to apologise for this intrusion of my private affairs and family arrangements, which is quite involun tary on my part, and have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "ROBERT CASHEL." ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING IN DROGHEDA. The Drogheda Argus contains the following:—" The inhabitants of Drogheda are about to give a most im portant demonstration : of their opinions relative to the unnatural tax upon food. A requisition, bearing the signature of his Grace the Catholic Primate of Ireland, all the Catholic clergy of the parish, nearly all the mem bers of the corporation, besides merchants, traders, and mechanics of the town, has been presented to Patrick Boylan, Eq., our mayor, praying him to convene a public meeting, on the earliest day possible, for the pur pose of petitioning Parliament for the total and imme diate repeal of the corn-laws. We believe every member of the corporation would have signed the requisition if there had been time to call on the few whose names are not appended, before the document was presented to the mayor. His worship has fixed on Monday, the 19th instant, as the day upon which the meeting is to be held." AGRARTAN CRIME IN LIMERICK AND CLARE. The Limerick Chronicle of Saturday contains the fol lowing. That Tory journal manifestly endeavours to make the worst of the disturbances : " It is melancholy to contemplate the lawless disorga nised state of the rural districts, where no respectable family is safe from aggression and outrage. The indu. - .- trions farmer, with a patch of five or ten acres, is equally obnoxious with the country gentleman who may hold one hundred or more of land, and the laborious peaceful cotter, who contrives to subsist his poor family on an acre of potato garden, is not safe from intimidation and violence, unless he connive at, or personally aid the league of disaffected ruffians who iy , w traverse the country night and day, from Tipperary to Li merick and Clare, in search of their victims. The first and great object of these miscreants is to possess themselves of fire-arms at any hazard, and wherever they can, without regard to time, pl ace , or person. This alarming fact is too notorious for doubt or denial. We find it obviously manifest in every case. Few country gentlemen's houses within some miles of Limerick are safe from attack, unless locked and barricadoed immediately at night-fall, and the families are then shut up, like lonely prisoners, in their silent mansion until the hour of day-break, when the barriers are cautiously withdrawn. One highly respect able man of rank, a grand juror and magistrate in our vicinity, whose character as a landlord is far above re proach', left his country seat this week to reside in the metropolis, sooner than be exposed to such harassing annoyance of his domestic circle, however neces.3ary the precautions against midnight marauders and armed as- sassins. " Upwards of 500 fellows assembled yesterday (Friday) morning on Sir Capell Molyneux's lands, Kuocksentry, to prevent the service of ejectments. They fired shots to intimidate the bailiff and his assistants. This great multitude kept watch-fires lighting on the ground all night, and discharging several shots, to apprise the civil authorities of their ability and determination to resist any legal process on this property. " This afternoon 200 men of the 24th Regiment left this garrison to dislodge the insurgents from their en campment. They were accompanied by a troop of the 13th Light Dragoons. "Last night the house of James Walsh, of Bird-hill, was entered by an armed party, who, after firing a shot, threatened him with death if he distrained for the rent due to his employer, Mr. Atkins. " Yesterday, as Mr. James Shea, bailiff to the Rev. Thomas Westropp, Terry Mahony, and other assistants, were serving ejectments on the bog of Gardenhill, near Cagtlecennell, they were encountered by a large armed DIVIDENDS DECLARED. W. H.

Price. PAGE V. HATCHELL This case was tried during the sittings of last term, when the facts were published at full length; a short summary, therefore, is all that is now necessary. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that the plaintiff got a verdict in the case last term, and he now moved to have that verdict set aside, and a new trial granted. The case went to a jury upon two issues ; one issue was that of not being possessed, and the other, not guilty. The declaration contained two counts, the first of which alleged that the river Thames was a navigable river at the place in question, and that the plaintiff had a whart upon the river near Battersea bridge, where he carried on business as a coal-merchant, and as such had certain barges, &c. corning up to their wharf, but that his trade had been obstructed by reason of the defendant having placed certain posts in the river in front of the wharf. The second count was a count in trover, for certain barges, carts, waggons, &c. The first plea was to the allegation of not being possessed of the wharf ; and the second, that of not guilty, to the count in trover. The Solicitor-General then proceeded to describe the locality of the wharf, and the premises connected with it. It appeared from the statement ahat a family named Long held certain other premises near to those of the plaintiff, under a lease from Lord Cadogan ; that a son of Mr. Long's was also a coal-merchant, and used the wharf in question in conducting his business ; that Mr. Long, sen., had let the wharf to plaintiff, but the defendant, who had a private house near to the wharf, conceived that the wharf had become his private pro perty, and that it should not be used by the public, and therefore he had put up the posts complaine I of. It had been given in evidence that the family of Mr. Long had been in possession of his premises for forty or fifty years, and that during that time the wharf hail been used by the public ; but the plaintiff did no. produce any lease to Mr. Long ; he relied entirely on the fact of user. But the defendant put in she last lease granted by Lord Cadogan to Mr. Long, by which it appeared that Lord Cadogan had ' demised to Mr. Long the premises he held ; but as to the wharf, there did not appear to have been any demise . of that, other than the use of it heretofore. The Learned Solicitor-General, having stated a number of extraneous facts, then proceeded to read the lease he had mentioned, which was a most voluminous document. Judgment deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young fellow, named V " occasionally" William Poston, who ha.: been some time one of the leaders of the Westminster gang of tad-money utterers, was brought up for final exa mination upon the charge of having exhibited two of his manoeuvres in the shop of Mr. Baker, 110, Cheapside, tobac conist The cs;o1 self-possession of the prisoner caused some sur prise in the justice-room, for he not only questioned the right of the Lord Mayor to send him for trial, but he denied the application of the law, as quoted by Mr. Goodman, to his particular case. Fredenck Breach, shops an to Mr. Baker, said on Tuesday last, beween two and three o'clock in the afternoon, the pri soner cs.,ne into the shop, and asking for three ch,-roo's, laid down a sovereign. I gave him half-a-sovereign in change. He the' asked me to change it, as he thought it was light. I accordingly took from him what I then believed to be the coin I had just given him, and gave him another half sovereigr. He then requested me to give him silver in stead of the half-sovereign I had just handed to him ; but, upon taking up the half-sovereign, I perceived that it was d counterfeit, and not the second one which I had just gi•ren to him. I laid down the counterfeit piece, and go:ng round, I shut the door, and demanded from the prisoner the good half-sovereign which I had that mo ment given to him, when he said,—" Here it is ; here is the good hat; -sovereign which you gave me ;" and I took it from him. When I looked for the counterfeit which he had last given me, it was gone from the counter, and could not be found. I then determined to examine the first half sovereign which I had taken from him, in the belief that I had given it to bins in the first instance in change, and I :fiscovered it to be the counterfeit which I now pro duce. and which I swear I received from him on his first application to have the one I had given him changed. Edward Roberts (City policeman, 472) stated that he had searched the prisoner upon apprehending him, but found upon his person nothing but three cheroots. The LORD MAYOR asked whether it was not the intention of the Mint to prosecute in this case ? The policeman said he rather expected that the solicitor to the Mint would be in attendance, but he supposed that gentleman's avoca-. tions detained him in other Courts. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I shall commit the prisoner for trial. ro you wish to say anything, prisoner ? The pri soner—Yes, my Lord. I wish to know whether you can commit me without knowing that the Mint will prosecute ? The 'Loup MAYOR—No doubt of it ; I intend to commit you now, and Mr. Goodman will make out your commitment. The prisoner—l wish to know whether Mr. Goodman has got the authority of the solicitor to the Mint to send this case to the Cantral Criminal Court. You'll excuse me, my Lord, but I dc ,, 't think he has. The law requires that two offences must be , !ommitted by the same party, and one within 14 days of the other. Now, where is the second piece of bad money I.;‘ show against me ?—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Your calculation upon the Act of Par liament is construed by you too partially in your own case. We have a section that will meet your case. Mr. Cp,odman said, it happened that the sanction of the Mint war by no means necessary to the prosecution for the offence with which the prisoner was charged, if the magis trate cons.i.dered it to be his duty to commit ; and there was a sectiot 1.71 the Act which stated that if any person should tender, utter, or put off any false or counterfeit coin, knowing the same to be false or counterfeit, the crime was, in England, a misdemeanour, and the party convicted was punishable by 7 1" imprison cent, not exceeding one year. The pi isoner—l do not consider that you can legally com mit me without producing bad money passed by me within 14 days. h fact, I know it.—(A laugh.) The Lnito MAYOR—You will find yourself mistaken, I think, by the result of this experiment, although you so adroitly wallowed the good and bad money. You have, with ail your legal acquirements upon the branch of trade you folk-n stumbled upon a section under which you will not be pi - :pecuted, and you have overlooked that under which you certainly shall be prosecuted. You supposed that we would ge against you for a heavier punishment, and indict you for an offence the proof of which would require additional evidence. We shall do nothing of the kind. As we can't get any rr.pre for you, we shall be satisfied with the one year's imprison -.!ent. The prisoner—l don't think I shall get it.—(Laughter , ) The LcxD MAYOR—I do; and if the Mint should hesitate upon the subject I shall direct the City solicitor to prosecute. The primer was then committed for trial; but he con tinued, while he remained at the bar, to reason upon the legal propriety of committing him, without however for one moment denying that lie was an experienced hand at the game, which, in this instance, has thus received a temporary check. John Michleburgh, messenger to the United Mexican Mining Association, of which Sir John Easthope, Bart., was represented to be the chairman and trustee, was brought up ' in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having sto'!.en a cash-box, containing property owned by the company, Mr. James Smith, a gentleman employed by the company, stated that it was the duty of the prisoner to fetch the cash box, whicil was left at t'.e banker's in the evening, home to the office every morning. On the evening of the 12th of December, there were in the cash-box four cheque-books, a will, a set, iad security, of which witness did not know the contents, and 531. in cash and bank-notes, of the numbers of of which witness did not know the particulars. The box was on that evening taken to Messrs. Bosanquet's banking house, but it was returned to the office, as was customary, next morning. On the evening of the 23d of December wit ness received the box wrapped up in a piece of brown paper, directed to him as belonging to the office, in the hand-writing of the prisoner. It contained all the property with the ex ception of. 391. The prisoner, who had been sent for the box on th-:, 13th of December, never made his appearance af terwards. Mr. William M. Brown, clerk in the offices of the, United Mexican Mining Association, stated that on the evening of the 12th Gf December he received the box from Mr. Smith, and took it to Messrs. Bosanquet's, and left it there in the condition in which he had received it. `William Robert Bushnell, cashier at Messrs. Bosanquet and Co.'s, Lombard-street, bankers, stated that on the morn ing of the 13th December he delivered the cash-box to the prisoner, ir the usual way of business. Daniel l'orrester stated that he had in December received informatiox that the primer had disappeared with property belonging to the association, and a few mornings ago the prisoner cased upon him, gave himself up, and said he was greatly distressed in his mind, and had been wandering about. The pesaner said he had nothing whatever to say, and was committed for trial. BOW-STREET. Mr. Jos pi Bowers Gray, a surgeon, who was charged last week with forging a post-office order receipt for 1/. (which had been forwarded for his predecessor in the business, 114, Holborn, was placed at the bar for further examination. The prilioner„ it may be remembered, after purchasing the business ir. High Holborn of Mr. G. L. Hillas, disposed of it to his brother, and succeeded, himself, to achemist's business, in St. James's-street, for which he bad paid, or was about to pay, 2,000/. During his residence in Holborn, a post-office order for 1:, was sent to the house, for Mr. Hillas, from a former patent of that gentleman, then residing at Southwell, near Newark. Mr. Hillas had written to his patient (the Rev. A. Tatham) respecting the sum due to him, and was informed that a post-office order had been forwarded to him. On inquiry at the General Post-office, in St. Martin's-le- Grand, it woo ascertained that the amount had been received, and the signature of Mr. G. L. Hillas regularly signed upon the order, which the clerk in that department produced in court, althczgh unable to identify the party who signed the name. Tie. however, was declared by several wit nesses to be that of the prisoner, and this constituted the evidence in iupport of the charge against him. The 'pris::•!_er was not admitted to bail. At the present examination the Rev. A. Tatham, who sent the order, the clerks at the post-office, Newark, who entered it upon the hooks, the letter-carrier who delivered it in llol born, and ens or two other witnesses, who identified the sig nature upon the order as being in the prisoner's handwriting, added their depositions to those taken last week. The exa mination being conducted by Mr. Peacock, on behalf of the Post-office, and by Dir. Ballantine, for the prisoner. The Learned Counsel for the prisoner urged upon his Wor• ship's consideration the slight nature of the evidence, as con trasted with the serious character of the charge, and also the apparent absurdity of supposing that a man in such a sta tion of life, and with so much property at his command, would risk his reputation and his liberty for so paltry a sum as 1/., the amount of the post-office order. The prisoner's brother, a fellow-assistant of the prisoner when the later lived with Mr. Fowler, a surgeon, of Devizes, and some oti.er witnesses, were called to prove that the hand writing in w!•ich the signature was written did not resemble that of the prisoner's. " Mr. Janr.7. - NE determined on sending the prisoner for trial, but on this LK-casion consented to take bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 5001 . each , for his appearence to answer the charge. WESTMINSTER. Dr. Quail, many years surgeon in the armies of Greece, Poland, and :artugal, who made an application to Mr. Bond, about two m.-.ritha since, with reference to some alleged claims on the Govei - oment, waited upon Mr. Burrell on the same subjeict.
