LAW INTELLIGENCE. PRIVY COUNCIL, Dec. 10. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat again to-day to hear the further arguments on the part-heard appeal from the Chancery of York—of THE QUEEN'S PROCTOR V. THE SOLICITOR OF THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER. Mr. JAMES PARKER opened the case on behalf of the respondent, and occupied their Lordships tho whole morning. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 10. The Lord Chancellor did not sit in his Court in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn to-day in consequence of their being only one appeal set down for hearing. Hii Lord ship sits to-morrow, and on Saturday the case of Mr. Dyce Sombre is appointed for hearing specially. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 10. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard causes to-day, but nothing calling for a particular report came before his Honour during the morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. %AricaAm.) SHUTTLEWORTH U. BENGOUGH. This was a bill filed for the purpose of determining the claim of the plaintiff, who alleged to be entitled to one-third part of two houses in Old Broad street, in the City. The defendant was the only surviving trustee of the will of a Mr. Hussey, and the other defendants are the parties who laid claim to the other two third parts of the houses. It appeared that the testator by his will, on the 7th of August, 1834, left two-thirds of the property in question to his two daughters, Mrs. Mid dleton, and Jane, the wife of John Silver, the remainder to go to the survivor, and after her demise to go to the children as tenants in common. It was contended by the defendants that the children of Mrs. Silver were illegitimate, it and therefore disentitled them to any portion of the property in question • in support of which affidavits were produced to the effect that Mrs. Silver left her husband (who was a jeweller, carrying on business in Hatton-garden), with his ap prentice, and the children in question were the result of that connexion, she having lived with this person till the period of her death, in 1842. The plaintiff bad disposed of the share in the property, and the party to whom the same had been disposed insti tuted the present proceedings. The case for the plaintiff wis opened to-day, and had not concluded at the rising of th- Court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BEACH,Dec.IO. (Before Mr. Justice EiILE and a Special Jury.) THE DIRECT BIRMINGHAM, OXFORD, AND BRIGHTON ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. JONES AND ANOTHER V. BLUNT AND OTHERS. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Montague Chambers, and another Learned Gentleman for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Peacock were for the dele idants. This was an action brought to recover tha sum of 2,0001. for work, labour, and money expended by the plaintiffs under the following circumstances :—The plaintiffs, Captain Stopford Thomas Jones, civil engineer, was one of the registered promoters of the above mentioned railway. Mr. Thomas N) as, solicitor of Copthall-court, was his coajutor. The plaintiffs, it ap peared, took offices in Muorgate street, paid fur a pre liminary survey,and the other expenses incidental to the construction of a railway compiny. The defendant Mr. John Blunt, and the other defendants. Mr. Denesey Libertson Thompson, Mr. Benjamin Davis, and others became members of the matiagineacom mittee, and agreed, on the 9th of October, to pay the plaintiffs 2,0001., and to allow them the option of taking 2,500 shares in the company for the expenses they had incurred in promoting the company. They agreed to accept those terms, but had been unable, up to this time, to obtain the fulfilment of the contract into which the defendants had entered into with them. The defendants had placed several plans on the record, but the leading one alleged that the contract had been ob tained through fraud, which Sir Frederick Thesiger stigmatised as one of the most scandalous ever brought into a court of justice. He then proceeeed to call the following witnesses in support of his case:— Thomas Biggs, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He said he was the son of Mr. J. Biggs, who died on the 26th of last October. He was a practical engineer, and lived at Woolwich. He was engaged to make a survey in the month of August Idat year, for the purpose of surveying a line of railway from Birmingham, through Henley, Stratford, and so on to Brighton, by the plaintiffs. Mr. Stephen Pritchard, a clerk iii the Railway Regis tration office, proved that the Direct Birmingham, Ox ford, and Brighton Railway . Company was registered on the 6th of October, 1845, and mid the description. The promoters were Stopford Thomas Jones, C.E , Cornhill and Thomas Nyas, solicitors, Cepthalacourt. The regular fee of 5/. was paid. On the 12th of September a notice was received, requesting that the name might be altered to the " Direct Birmingham, Reading, Oxford, and Brighton Atmospheric Railway Company." A prospectus wad also supplied. The bock was handed to the Master, who read the names of the provisional committee, and the list of the officers of the company. It was signed Thomas Nyas, and explained the otaect of the line, and that a preliminary survey would he made. The capital was proposed to be 2,000,0001. The London solicitors were Messrs. Coppock, Smith, an-4 Co., Bedford-row, London. The defendant's name and the other defendacts were in the registered prospectuses. Several registrations took place in order that additional names might be added. The final prospectus contained upwards of 100 provi sional committeemen. Mr. James Coppock, solicitor, of Cleveland-row, ex emitted by Mr. al. CHAMERS—He said he was a soli citor and Parliamentary agent, and that he had acted in both these capacities for the railway in question in July last year. He knew Mr. Nyas and Captain Jones. The offi3es in Moorgate-street were extremely well fitted up, He communicated with solicitors in Birmingham :the Oxford. Knew that the late Mr. I 3 g's was eneagiel to make surveys of the line. Ile brought some of the sur veys to him, and he corrected a few of them. Ile conti nued to act for the cemp lily until September, whin he left town. He employed Mr. Wyld, the rasp engraver, to furnish a map for the compiny, and Mr. Barker, the advertising agent, to advertise the company. He saw Mr. Jones frequently, an i he might say Mr. Nyas was his principal. He received instructions about the advertisements either from Mr. Jones or Mr. Nyas. The toe n-clerk c f Birmingham and a solicitor at Brighton were to have been concerned with him, if he had continued in its service ; but he had a good deal to do at that time, more than he could do, and he found that he could not give it the time it required. Ile was satisfied that Mr. Nyas would discharge all liabilities incurred. If he had not believed it a legitimate scheme he should not have had anyilliteg to do with it, and he took some pains to ascertain that it was so. He con sidered 2,000/. at the time a very moderate sum. Cross examined by Mr. COCKBURN—Had not received any remuneration for his trouble ; in fact he had net demanded any, as he did not continue in the service of the company. He could not say whether 2,500 shares would be a fair compensation, because everything de pended upon their value in the market. He should not have taken shares nor have got up a company for the purpose of obtaining shares. He should not have given a farthing for the shares. Re examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS Mr. Biggs appeared to him to have taken pains in making the survey. Dr. BOND said he became one of the provisional corn mitte( of the line at the latier end of August, at, which time the company had offices in Moorgate-street. He ascertained at that time that Mr. Jones and Mr. Nyas were the projectors of the railway, and that Mr. Blunt, Mr. Davis, and Air. Thompson, acre members of the same committee. The offices had been obtained, clerks had been employed, and a survey had been made by Mr. Biggs. All the expences were defrayed by the plain tiffs. They were there all day, and generally managed the undertaking until the 9th of October. They tra velled to Brighton and other pieces in the service of the company. A meeting was held on the 9th October, at which Mr. Blunt occupied the chair ; on that occasion the committee considered that 1:5,0001., with the option of taking considerable numbers of shares in the com pany, would be sufficient compensation for the labour ; but the plaintiffs considered that they were entitled to 2,500/., and the committee agreed to pay 2,0004 with the option of taking 2,300 shares, and the plaintiffs agreed to that offer, and to relinguish their connexion with the company after that date. The shares of the company had been issued ; It existed, and was likely to be a profitable company. Had 100 or 200 shares in it; he could not recollect exactly. Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—Had not paid up the shares. If the company were well managed, it was likely to be a lucrative undertaking. Was not aware that the plaintiffs had any other little schemes on the anvil at that time. He had shares in a great nun ber of companies at that time; possibly in twenty or thirty. Knew now that Mr. Nyas had offices in the s ame h ouse ' for a clock company, With which he was connected. Mr. Blur' lid not say at the meeting in question that they could not pay the plaintiff's demand, or they could not justify such an account to the shareholders. Could not say how many shares he had taken up, nor the money be had paid. The money he paid was his own. He did not] know to what amount he had signed contract deeds, still it must be something very considerable. He was present at the meeting, in consequence of expecting that he would be applied to to he joint secretary to the company with Mr. Rayner. He was now glad he did not get it, as the company had been badly managed. Sir James Douglas Hamilton Hay examined by Sir F. THESIGER--410 said he became a member of the managing committee on the Bth of October, on which day the members of that committee were nominated. He attended a meeting on the following day, the 9th. Ile corroborated generally the evidence of the last witness with respect to the contract with the plaintiff. The committee considered that the amount agreed upon was a fair one, and they had paid all expenses up to the issuing of the first prospectus, and which that sum was intended to cover. He had not paid up the shares he took in the company, nor had he been called upon te defray any part of the 2,000/. or the other expenses of the company. Most likely he should have been so called upon if he had not been compelled to withdraw from the company in consequence of indisposition. Mr. J o h n Ri s d ale, clerk is the London Joint-stock Bank Company, exam i ne d b y M r. PEARSON, proved that there The wasan acco un t k ept at t h at b ank by the company. deposits received were about 8,0001. 3d e o r f 'ls tiec e -ex tu amined—The d a t e o f t h e l ast d epos i t was the be b r..,5001. w as trans f erred to the western branch of the an Mr. J.

The agreement, besides, was not binding, as it was not " executory.." He held that the plaintiffs must, therefore, be nonsulted. Mr. PEACOCK followed on the same side. Sir FREDERICK. THESIGER replied, and held that the plaintiffs were the proprietors or projectors of the scheme until the 9th of October, and that they had a perfect right to dispose of it in the manner they did. Mr. Justice ERLE considered that the promoters of a railway had an undoubted property in their scheme until they legally parted with it, but as consideration had not been shown on the part of the plaintiffs for their claim, they must be nonsuited with power to move to have the verdict entered for them on a new trial. The plaintiffs were accordingly nonsuited. CONSPIRACY.—THE ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. JAMES SHERIFFS' COURT, Dee. 10. BUDD V. BIRD -FALSE IMPRISONMENT. class of offenders. It was manifest that things could not go on as they were. In the present session, as he had occasion to tell the grand jury on the preceding day, he had a list of 24 children, whose ages did not excelled 12, and there was at that moment one at the bar who was seven, and not more than three feet ten inches high. Was it not heartrending that such a baby must be sent to a common gaol ? The father and mother, both in the utmost digress, here rushed forward, and entreated the judge to let them take the boy home. If his Lordship would allow them to have him home, they would take care that he should never get into such trouble again. If he had done that which was wrong, they were sure it must have been at the instigation of other boys. The Learned JUDGE—Ye s , that was it, no doubt; for it was hardly possible to conceive that so mere a baby could of himself have arranged and' committed this act. There were two older boys with him. and they had set him on to the commission of the act ; but that was part of the system which was adopted. Here he had been laid hold of by two older boys, who had made him their tool. He was aware of the whole plan, for he had spent hour after hoar in the prisons of the county, and had ascertained from many of tha boys the manner in which they carried on their occupation. A little boy was enlisted into the service of young but yet old thieves, who, upon the promise of a penny, in some in stances, would become an acting party. A theft was ac complished, and then the article stolen, if it was not money, was taken to certain persons who were in the habit of giving small sums for these things in the street. Such persons did not keep a shop, to which the boys were to go to them. These were the receivers of stolen property from boys, who usually spent the money so ob tained in the purchase of gingerbr ea d or some suA. thing, and at other times in going to the penny theatres. The father again implored that he might take his child home. If he were permitted to do so he and his wife would adopt every means in their power to prevent him from again mingling with strange boys. Indeed, they would not let him go out alone. The Learned JUDGE—Then let the responsibility rest, as in truth it ought to rest, upon the father of this child. There he was, not more than se ven y ears o ld, a mere baby, convicted of having picked a pocket. There stood the parents, upon whom the whole responsibility of that child's behaviour and future happiness in life depended. Do not let him be told, as he had been, that there was a state for the children, and that the children ought to be sent to the state for correction. The parents had now sought to be allowed to hav e th e i r c hild . T hey should have him, and on their heads rest the responsibility; but they, with their child, must take also this warning, that if they did not keep such care over him as should pre vent his being brought again to a criminal bar, and, by their neglect, he was brought to that bar, they might rely upon it that they would never see that chit(' again. The sentence of the Court was, that the boy he impri soned one hour, and then delivered into the care of his father. This was an action to recover darcaffea for false im prisonment. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the defendant, who is a widow lady, expressed her regret that she had wrongly suspected the plaintiff, and she not only exone rated her in the fullest manner, but was willing to make a pecuniary recompense, and himself and his Learned Friend, Mr. Miller, who appeared for the plaintiff, had agreed to a verdict being taken for 251 . Mr. MILLER briefly stated the case, from which it ap peared that the plaintiff was a female servant to the de fendant, who is an old lady, 80 years of age. In January last she missed a 101. note, and, suspecting the plaintiff, gave her into custody, and she was locked up in the station-house all night. In the morning, however, the defendant remembered what she had done with the note, and the plaintiff was of course discharged. She had been in most respectable families, and her character had been to a certain extent affected; he was, however, glad that the defendant now so honourably bore testimony to the honesty and good character of the plaintiff. A verdict was then returned for 25/. POWELL V. TUIT. The plaintiff in this action is an artist, and the de fendant a retired captain of a merchantman. The action was brought to recover the sum of 51., for painting por traits of the defendant, his wife, and two children. On the part of the plaintiff witnesses were called, who deposed that the defendant had approved of the painting, and had paid 10s. on account, and said he would pay the other as soon as he received a stun owir g to him ; he, however, subsequently refused to pay, on the ground that they were- not good likenesses. Mr. LANE, the defendant's attorney, produced the painting, which he pronounced to be a wretched daub. The defendant had got no legs, the lady only one hand, with three fingers, and appeared to be sitting on the back of the sofa. Then there were the two children, poor little horrible-looking objects; the nose of one ap peared to be split, the boy's ear stuck out, and looked like the handle of a jug, and the only arm which was seen was like a stick stuck into the body, and there was an attempt to represent him in the act of writing on a slate. In short, they all looked like a lot of cripples. To compensate, however, for the deficiencies, the de fendant was favoured with a couple of large, staring eyes, although he was almost blind. He would call an artist of considerable experience, who would give his unbiassed opinion as to the merits of the picture. Mr. Orson was then called, and said there was not one principle of art in the composition. Everything was false, and everything looked mutilated and cut up. There was some animal on the floor, perhaps intended far a cat, but looked like a baboon without hie behind.— (Laughter.) He considered it to be of little or no value. In cross-examination he said he had been a student of the Royal Academy for about Eeven years. He was a portrait painter. Mr. THomas, for the plaintiff, said the portraits were excellent, and everything in keeping. In the defendant there was even an improvement on nature, for the plain tiff had thrown the most amiable smile into the coun tenance which any person could desire to have. — (Laughter.) The children were also cherubs, instead of horrible-looking little objects, and the likeness was true to nature, and anybody could see whose children they were, for they were like both the father and the mother. —(Laughter.) Then there were copies of the pictures in the room after Vandervelde, Stancliffe, &c., and those alone cut out were worth all the money. It was, as the showmen say, not art but nature ; the water was real water; a better slate could not be. Then there was the glass of grog, the fruit, chairs, table, sofa, every thing to make it valuable as a scene of domestic happiness and conviviality.—(Laughter.) As to want ing to see all the hands and the legs, it was as bad as the gentleman who wished for a sketch of his house, and refused to pay because the artist did not show all the four sides. — (Laughter.) As to the little boy's missing arm, there could be no doubt, whilst pretending to write, he had taken an orange, and was hiding it behind him. — (Laughter.) It was all so true to nature, that taking the defendant out of the painting altogether, and cutting it in pieces, it was well worth th money.—(Laughter.) The Learned UNDER- SHERIFF summed up, and felt it to the jury to say whether there had been an agreed price, and, if not, what was the value. The jury gave a verdict for 305., in addition to the 10s. already paid. The parents, having thanked his Lordship, quitted the Court with countenances that betokened the removal of an overwhelming load from their minds. SURREY SESSIONS. John Hart, aged 38, was indicted for stealing two pounds of beef at Epsom on the 29th of October, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in Brixton gaol. Maria Reed, aged 25, and Joseph &nit& aged 40, were indicted for stealing, on the 29th of October, four silver spoons, and one German silver one, at West Horsley, the property of Henry Whitbourn. The prisoners made a long rambling defence, but the jury gave little credence to it, and found them guilty, and they were sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Ann Elliott, aged 40, was indicted for stealing a silver spoon at Croydon, on the 31st of October. It appeared that the prisoner had presented the spoon to pledge. when she was stopped by the pawnbroker and handed over to the police. After some days the owner of the spoon was discovered; he identified it, and the prisoner was committed. The prisoner, on being called on for her defence, ad mitted that she had taken it but not with any felonious intent. Mr. Beck, the owner of the spoon, at whose house thr prisoner was employed as a charwoman, gave her an ex cellent character for honesty, and The jury brought in a verdict of Not guilty. Benedict Robert illohun, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a sheep, the property of Mr. King, of Bramley, on the 11th' of November. The chief witness against the prisoner was one of the rural police, who going ' along the road near Bramley, saw the skin and entrails of a sheep lying near one of the fields in the occupation of the prosecutor. Mr. King immediately identified the skin, and accompanied the constable to ascertain what had been done with the carcase. On reaching the spot where the skin had been lying, they perceived the wheel-tracks of a small cart, and the foot-marks of a pony or don key, which they followed for four or five miles, on the road, when they came up with a small van, such as is generally used by travelling tinkers or dealers. In this there was a fire, with a joint of mutton cooking over it, and underneath the axle tree they discovered the carcass of a sheep minus the joint that was over the fire. The constable immediately apprehended the prisoners. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict 'of Guilty, and the prisoners were sentenced to ten years' transportation. John Worsfold, aged 31, was indicted fbr stealing a pony mare, the property of Mr. D. Reece, of Kingston, on the 16th of November. William Jones, a dealer and driver of Welsh ponies, who had identified the pony, stated that on the day in question he lent it to a couple of lads, the sons of neighbours, for a ride. They returned without it, and he subsequently found the prisoner upon its back. lie ntrae„liately endeavoured to take possession of it, when the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the head, which nearly stunned him. He, however, persevered, and with the assistance of one of his men, notwithstanding violent abuse, took possession of the pony. The prisoner was afterwards seen at Kingston, when he denied that he was the person accused, but afterwards admitted that he was, and asserted that he took the p on y i n a l ar k . The prisoner, in his defence, stated that i ns t ea d o f having stolen the pony, it had been lent to him by the boy who had it at the time. After a brief consultation, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transportation beyond the seas. WINTER ASSIZES. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Dec. 8. The trial of the prisoners under the special commis sion commenced here to-day. The commission was opened yesterday evening, and to day their Lordships, Mr. Baron Rolfe and Mr. Justice Wighttnan sat at twelve o'clock for the dispatch of business.

He took off three coats which he was wearing over his own. These he asked Taylor to pledge. Taylor assent:d, and when the shops opened pledged them for 7s. in the name of Holt. While Taylor was absent Barrow also gave one of the persons in the house (a woman) a silk handker chief, a penknife, and other articles, all which proved to be part of the property taken from Mrs. Hankinson's. The spoons, it appeared, belonged to the prisoner him self, having belonged to his mother, but had been, after her death, in the possession of his aunt since the time when he, an infant, had been placed under her care. On the conclusion of the case, His LORDSHIP intimated that there was no case against Taylor. The prisoner Barrow addressed the jury, contending that there was no evidence of any burglary, but admit ting lie had been guilty of the theft. Verdict—Guilty of larceny. A previous conviction having been proved against him, His LORDSHIP, after a severe comment open the base ness of the prisoner's conduct, sentenced him to be transported for seven years. (Before Mr. Baron ROLPE.) Owen Morris and Thomas Kelly were indicted for havi')g, on the 4th of September last, cut and wounde 1 Robert Johnson, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cross conducted the prosecution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. J. Pollock. It appeared that the prisoners, with four other men, all Irish reapers, had, in the latter end of August list, linen employed by a person of the name of Latham. a farmer at Great. Lever, to cut down a field of grain of nearly two t•cres, Cheshire measure. For this they were to receive 2/. 17s. 6.i. and 50 (parts ot . beer. On the 4th of September. when the job was about completed, Mr. Latham and his wife happened to leave home for the purpose of attending Ttirton fair. While they were ab sent the six reapers came to the house, in which there was at the time no person except the female servant and Mr. Latham's children. They made some complaint about not having had the quantity of beer for which they had stipulated, and insisted upon having some more. She gave them two gallons, but they were still unsatisfied, and under the influence of the threats which they used she was induced to let them help themselves to what they pleased. On Mr. Latham coming home, he found the farmyard in an uproar, and was immediately assailed by the reapers, who got him down and threatened to murder him. He got away, and went for assistance to Mr.• Johnson, the prosecutor, the constable of the township. Mr. Johnson accompanied him back to the farm yard, they having taken with them to their assistance some brickmakers whom they met on their way, among whom was a person of the name of Woods. When they got to the yard the disturbance was still continuing, and some of the party attempted again to assail Mr. Latham. Mr. Latham directed Johnson to take Morris into custody. Johnson expostulated with the men on the impropriety of their conduct, upon which they, Morris being the ringleader, began slashing with their sickles in all directions, John son being severely cut about the head and hands, until he succeeded in wresting from Morris a pitchfork, with which he had armed himself on his sickle breaking. With the handle of this he knocked Morris down, on which the others ran away. Mr. Pou.ocs addressed the jury for the defence. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury by their ver dict found Morris guilty of the felony, and Kelly guilty of a common assault. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Conn sel as to a second indictment which it was not considered neessary to try, that the person Woods, already men tioned, had had one of his figures so severely injured by the blow of a sickle that amputation became necessary. His LORDSHIP said, that the only circumstance of mi tigation in the case, and which induced him to abstain from passing a sentence of transportation, was that the prisoners, it would appear, had not deliberately armed themselves with these dangerous instruments with a pre conceived intention of inflicting these injuries. The offence, however, was one of a very aggravated kind ; and he had some doubt whether, as to Morris, he was justified in stopping short of a sentence of transportation. He would not, however, pass that sentence, but they must each of them undergo a very long period of impri sonment. Morris was then sentenced to be imprisoned fcr two years, and Kelly for one year. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, of dark complexion, with bushy black hair and whiskers, and of rather Icw stature, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Sidney, charged with several frauds upon tavern-keepers and confectioners in the City. The prisoner, on appearing before the Magistrate, in dignantly refused to give his name or address, and insisted that the complainant could only claim debt against him, and protested against what he called the illegal conduct of the inspector, in locking up a respect able man like him all night, in company with " bad characters," in a station-house. The ALDERMAN proceeded to hear the evidence of Mr. Inglis, the confectioner, in St. Paul's Church. yard, corroborated by a young woman in his service, that in the course of Wednesday the prisoner feasted sumptuously at his house, upon mock turtle-soup and other minor refreshments, and was afterwards walking off without payment, saying he had no money, and must have credit fur his cheer until some other.day. This nut being aceeded to, he said boldly that the young woman who waited on him in the first instance had agreed to give him credit. But Mr. Inglis at length gave him into custody, and money more than sufficient to pay being found upon him, the charge of fraud was eventually taken. Mr. Bailey, of the Sun Tavern, Ludgate-hill, the pro prietor of the Goose and Gridiron, in the same neigh bourhood, and Mr. Goodwin Cannon, of the Punch Ta vern, 99, Fleet-street, recognised him as the perpetrator of similar victimising feats upon themselves. After hearing a good deal of evidence of the same character, Mr. Alderman SIDNEY asked the prisoner if he persisted in r fusing to give his name, for if that were the case he should commit him as a rogue and vagabond. The prisoner at length stated that his name was John Simmons. The ALDERMAN observed that he had on a previous occasion given the name of Johnson, and that more re cently he had figured under the name of John Smith. The case concluded by the prisoner being committed for two months. MARLBOROUGH'-STRAET. William Riddle, a respectably-dressed young man, was charged with entering the service of Edward Har rison, Esq., by means of a false character. ' Mr. Harrison, residing at No. 9, Berkeley-street, Berkeley-square, said the prisoner applied to him on Saturday, the 28th of November last, t;_pr a situation as footman, and complainant having made the usual in quiries, was referred for the prisoner's charac ter to George Foley, Rol., Trowbridg?, Wiltshire, and complainant wrote by the next post for his charac ter. On the Weanesday following he received an answer from a person representing himself to be George Foley, and stating that Mr. Huddle had been in his service three years, and that he was a respectable honest and industrious young man, and that he knew nothing to the contrary. In consequence complainant took the young man into his service on Friday last. On the following day in complainant's absence, the prisoner applied- to complainant's sister, who lives in the same house, and borrowed half-a-crown from her, stating that he wanted that to buy shoes with to wait at dinner. This circumstance excited suspicion, and complainant wrote to the clergyman of Trowbridge to as certain from him whether there was such a person as Mr. Foley. Complainant then handed in a letter which he had received, in answer to that, from the Rev. Mr. Hastings, the clergyman of the district. It stated that no gentleman of rank and fortune, with that name, resided in the locality, but that there was a per son in a humble sphere of life, but of a most respectable character, named Fraley, who lived in Trowbridge; that he had called on him, and ascertained that he knew a young man called William Huddle, a respectable person, but said that he had never written a character for him, nor d d he think his son Gaorge would do so, but he promised to send his son to the cler gyman ; that the said George Foley, a banker's clerk in Trowbridge, had called on him, and confessed that he had written a character for Huddle, and that it was en tirely false. The complainant stated that the prisoner, during the time that he was in his service, borrowed from the cook all the money that the had got.

Mikon Wal!work was indicted for bigamy. Mr. Monk conducted the prosecution ; the prison( r was not defended by counsel. The two marriages of the prisoner were proved in the usual way. He had been married to his legal wife many years ago, but had been separated from her for a long period before his marriage to one Betty Jones, who was called as a witness. The prisoner conducted his own case with great self possession, and cross-examined the witnesses to show that it was in consequence of the gross misconduct of his legal wife that he had been separated from her. Betty Jones, also, in answer to the questions put by hi:n in cross-examination, stated that she had also been married to another, and that her husband about eight years ago had gone to America; but no question was put to her as to whether or no she had been aware of his existence within the seven years preceding her marriage to the prisoner. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that it had been sought to show that Betty Jones had a husband at the time of her being married to the prisoner, but this had not been proved, and even if it had so appeared, the validity or invalidity of the second marriage on that ground would have made no difference in this case. Verdict, Guilty.—Sentence deferred. Joseph Turtonshaw was indicted for cutting and wounding Bernard Foy, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Monk conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Pollock. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that, on the evening on which this occurrence took place, he was standing at his own door, when his attention was attracted to some women and a policeman, who were at the door of an adjoining outhouse. The policeman was knocking at the door, and insisting on its being opened, threatening to break it open if this was refused. The door was finally opened, and the prisoner and a woman came out. The prisoner then ran into the pro secutor's house, on which the prosecutor, saying he should not remain there, took hold of him, turned him round, and thrust him out at the door. While the pro secutor was pushing him out, a policeman came up and took ho'd of the prisoner at the other side. The pri f,s o o rn n i sci e led r , t up h ar e i ol n dn, made a bl ow at the prosecutor, w h o found that he had rece i ved a severe wound on the wrist.

BUTTON AND OTHERS. This was an indictment at the instance of Mr. Lewis, an extensive dyer in Oxenden-street, Haymarket, against the defendants, James Button, George Button, his son, Thomas Corduroy, and William Wellesford, for conspiring together to de fraud him. James Button had been in the service of the prosecutor's father and of the prosecutor himself for upwards of 34 years, and had been promoted from an apprentice to the situation of foreman of the works, and lived rent-free on the premises. The other defendants had also been a long time in his service. Mr. Lewis allowed those who were employed in his establishment to dye their clothes and those of their immediate relations, free of expense. This privilege the defendants had abused, as they had carried on an extensive busi ness on their account for some time with a number of persons, and for their own profit, and bad con sequently defrauded the prosecutors of several thousands of pounds. The goods they dyed at the expense of the prosecutor in this way mostly bore the initials of the defendants, whose job it was. The defendants had all pleaded not guilty, but Wellesford had retracted his plea and pleaded guilty. Sir F. Thesiger, with whom were Mr. Clarkson, Mr, Peacock, and Mr. Ballantine, were for the prosecution; and Mr. Sergeant Allen for the Buttons. Mr. Char nock was for Wellesford. Corduroy was undefended by counsel. A great deal of evidence was adduced on the part of the prosecution, which showed that the Buttons parti cularly had carried on considerable business in the way painted out. i he case was adjourned. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 10. DIONTAGUE LEVYSON V. Z kDOC AARON JESSELL. In this case Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Simon ap peared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and another Learned Gentleman fur the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Montague Levi san, F diamond merchant, to recover compensation in damage:, for a violent assault committed by the nefen dant, Mr. Zadoc Aaron desself, also a diamond merchant, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, upon the 23d of April last. It appeared from the evidence of the various witnesses who were called, and the opening statements of the Learned Counsel, that the assault complained of was committed in the immediate neighbourhood of the Lord Mayor's Court. Tne defendant was a young and active man, as compared with the plaintiff; and he was seen to inflict several very severe blows in rapid succession upon various parts of the plaintiff's person, but more especially directed towards the head and face. The plaintiff was not seen by any of the witnesses to strike the defendant upon any cecasion. At the conclusion of the at tack the plaintiff was carried away in a fainting state, into the passage of the Lord Mayor's Court, where he was seized with violent hysterics, his right eye was blackened, his left eye had a puff under it, occasioned by the effect of a severe blow. his foreheed exhibited several marks of blows, as well as his cheeks, and flood was flowing profusely from his mouth. One of his teeth was also knocked out. Prior to the attack several of the witnesses stated that a great deal of angry lan guage was used upon both sides, and the plaintiff made use of the expression, " I send you to Coventry." It appeared thnt both of the parties were going to gether to the Bankruptcy Court. The plaintiff carried on business as a diamond•merchant. and the defendant was assignee to the son-in-law of the plaintiff. Mr. MARTIN, in his address to the jury, complained that no evidence respecting the origin of the transaction had been brought forward on the part of the plaintiff. If such had been done, the jury would have had be fore them the Pact of very great provocation on the part of the defendant, and that the assault committed by the plaintiff—what he did not for a moment mean to deny— was committed under the excitement of very great pro vocation. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up to the jury, said that the present action was brought to recover com pensation in damages for an assault upou the plaintiff. The first plea was, that the assault was not committed by the defendant ; and, secondly. that the defendant was only defending himself from the assault of the plain• tiff. Upon both of these issues it would be their duty to find a verdict for the plaintiff. From the evidence which they had heard, it appeared that the first blow was struck by the defendant. The language of the parties appears to have been very strong ; expressions were made use of which, no doubt, were very offensive. It was much to be regretted that persons in the situation of the parties should have recourse to the use of lan guage so offensive as that appears to have been which was used upon the occasion complained of, and still more, that the d fendant should proceed to the brutalising arid degrading practice of inflicting blows upon the plaintiff by his fists. It was a practice always to he reprobated. Under all the circumstances of die case, it would be for the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff. It would be for them to say, in the ex ercise of their duty, what amount of damages the plain tiff was entitled to receive at the hands of the defendant. It appeared that the injuries which the plaintiff received were, at the moment, very severe; the plaintiff seemed to have suffered very considerably from the attempt made up in him by the defendant. From the evidence of his medical adviser, it appeared that he received a blow upon his right eye, and also one upon his left eye; he suffered considerably from another severe blow on his cheek, and his mouth was much injured, and a large quantity of Wood flowed therefrom ; he further stated that, in consequence of the effects of the blow. a tooth was obliged to be extracted, the plaintiff was removed very much agitated, and .some relief was of erded to him in the Lord Mayor's Court by the applicstion of cold water and other restoratives. Upon his arrival home it appeared that he sent for his medical adviser, and although no bones appear to have been broken, yet there was no doubt that the injuries were very considerable. With reference to the arguments of the Learned Counsel for the defendant, that the plain tiff ought to have given evidence of the circumstances which gave rise to the hostile collision. In his opinion the case would have assumed a far more serious aspect if such a course had been adopted, and if it had been shown that there was anything like malice or ill-feeling rankling in the breast of the defendant towards the plaintiff. The only question, then, for the jury to decide, would be the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain ff—Damages, 301. BROUGHTON V. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. _ _ _ Mr. Knov , les and Mr. Warre❑ appeared for the Plain ff, and Mr. Martin and Mr. James fur the defendart. The plaintiff was a clerk in the above named com pany. In the beginning of the present year he was dis charged by the defendant, at a month's notice. The present action was brought to recover a larger amount of salary than that for one month, he being entitled to receive a larger amount of notice than one month, in consequence of the engagement made with him having been an annual one. On the part of the defendant it was contended, that one month's notice was ample and sufficient, and a sum of 01. 17s. 3d. was accordingly paid into court; that the general custom of railway companies was to give one month's notice to the persons employed by them; and further, that a resolution had been passed by the di rectors of the company, to the effect that all the persons in the employ of the Eastern Counties Company were to consider one month's notice as suffi cient. This resolution was passed in the year 1841, but no proof was given that such a resolution was known to exist by the employers of the company. The LORD CHIEF atuost, in summing up, told the jury that, i❑ his opinion, the evidence of a general cus tom had not been sufficiently established ; and he thought that the existence of the resolution re ferred to in the course of the proceeding was certainly some evidence to set against the existence of a general and well-known custom of that kind prevailing among the servants of the company. Under these cir cumstances it would be for thejury to find their verdict for the plaintiff, For the sum of 61. 13s. 4d., exclusive of that paid jute court, that being the amount claimed by the plaintiff The jury accordingly returned a verdict in accordance with the ruling of the Lord Chief Baron. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dee. 10. PAPANICOLAS V. ABITBOL. This was an action brought by a gentleman of the name of Papanicolap, to recover from the defendant, a sharebroker, 451., being the difference between a sum el money lent by the latter on 200 Madrid and Valentia railway shares, and their market value, on the 30th of April, in the present year. From the statement of Counsel for the plaintiff, it appeared that early in this year the plaintiff was in want of money, and in order to realise a sum he deposited the shares in question with the defendant for the advance of 1501., with the under standing that the money should be repaid with interesi on the 30th of April. On that day, about two o'clock, Mr. Mullins, of the firm of Bush and Mullins, of St. Mildred's-court, called at the defendant's offices and ten doted the money, vthich was refused on the allegation that the tender being made after one o'clock, according to the rules of the Stock Exchange, the shares were for. feited. The defendant retained the shares, and hence the present action. Mr. Sergeant Byles conducted the case for the plain tiff, Mr. Hunaphre3s for the defence. Ecidence having been called to prove these facts, Mr. HUMPHREYS was proceeding to address the jury on the alleged rule of the Stock Exchange under which the contract was made, with the object of showing that the money not being tendered before one o'clock the shares were forfeited, when The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE decided against such a defence. There was nothing in the contract itself, or the evidence, to warrant that supposition ; and as the issue in the pleadings was raised on this point, unless the Learned Gentleman had evidence to offer in support of it, the verdict must go for the plaintiff. The Learned Gentleman intimated that he was not prepared to offer any evidenc e on the point beyond what was in poss-ssion of the Court. Under his Lordship's direction, a verdict was then given for the plaintiff for 451 LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LOYDON, DEC. 10 —Wind S.W., light breeze, and hazy. DEAL, DEc. 9.—Wind E.N.E. to N.N.W.—Arrd.

Bird, who lived in the same house with the prisoner, deposed to various acts of cruelty which had been committed by him on the child.

Dr. Scott, Roman Catholic Bishop, died at his residence in Greenock on the 4th inst. Bishop Scutt was well known in Glasgow, where he officiated for a long period of years, and his death will no doubt cast a gloom over a large circle of friends and admirers, by whom he was esteemed for his unostentatious gentlemanly manners, and for the zeal he at all times mani'ested for the spiri tual interest of those of his own persuasion.—Glusgow Courier DISTRESSING ACCIDENTS.--Wednesday the follow ing accidents occurred, one of which, it is feurel, will end in loss of life:—The first case was that of James Allen, aged thirty years, a labourer. He was engaged on the roof of Messrs. Rolls and Co.'s floorcloth manufactor3., in Kennington-lane, Lambeth, when he slipped and fell about fitty-four feet, to the basement of the building, where he received the most fearful injuries. lie was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he was found to have sustained a fracture of the right arm, extensive injury to the chest, fractures of several ribs, and other serious in juries. He lies in a precarious state. Another accident happened to a female named Martha Willis, aged twenty nine years, residing at No. 2, Fair-street, llorslydown. She was walking along a passage, when she stumbled over a trapdoor, and fell heavily to the floor, and when raised up, was found to have received a compound frac ture of the left thigh. She was taken to Guy's Hospital, and is progressing favourably. A third accident took place to a young woman named Jane Hopkins, of No. 21, Flask-court, Tooley-street, Southwark. She had been to take her husband's tea, and while crossing the carriage way in High-street, Borough, she was knocked down by a cart, the off w h ee l o f w hi c h passe d over h er legs. She was carried to Guy's Hospital. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a full Bench of Magistrate?.) Richard Bragge was indicted for a riot and assault on ,he 17th of November last, under the following circum stances : The defendant was the proprietor of a beer-shop, called the Prince of Wales, in Hyde-place, Hoxton, ad jacent to which was a piece of unfenced ground, belong ing to a lady named Price. This the defendant con verted into a skittle-ground, Mrs. Price, from some cause or other, taking no steps to prevent the occupa tion. Some time after her death, her son brought an ejectment, and possession havinc , been taken in the usual form by the sheriff, the ground was given to a person named Warford, the prosecutor in the present indict ment Upon possession being taken by Warford, the defendant, followed by a mob of about 200 persons, en tered the ground and attempted to disposse , s him, during which the utmost disorder and rioting prevailed, and the prosecutor was knocked down. The mob was supplied with several gallons of beer by the defendant, who cheered them on. Mr. O'Brien addressed the jury for the defendant. The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and The ASSISTANT JUDGE said they could not allow this country to be made subject so a species of lynch law, like that attempted by the defendant, and he should, therefore, order him to pay a fine of 101. to the Queen, and to enter into his own recognizances in the sum of 401., and to find one surety in 201. to keep the peace for the next twelve months. Thomas Wokeford was indicted for asaulting James Brown, one of the toll-takers in the employment of the trustees of the Commercial-road turnpikes. The facts of this case have been so recently reported in The Sun, and the general feeling of the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the Commercial-road on the subject of some of the tolls demanded along that line so fully understood, that it will suffice to state the indict ment in the present case rested opt' an alleged assault committed on the toll-taker at the bar at America-street. The prisoner having pleaded Guilty, Mr. WYLDE, who appeared for the prosecution, said, as the prisoner had pleaded guilty, and thus lffordi-d an example, which was all his clients sought, he should not press for anything beyond a nominal penalty. The defendant was then fined is., and discharged with a caution. A number of indictments against individuals, most of whom were either Italian or French, for keeping dis orderly houses at the West-end, were heard, and the par ties allowed to stand out upon their own recognizances, on consideration of their abating the nuisances. JUVENILE OFFENDERS. Oti Wednesday, Thomas Gardner, a little boy only 7 years old, and standing 3 feet 10 inches in height, was found guilty of havit:g picked the pocket of a lady on Westminster-bridge, on Monday last. It appeared that a lady, in passing over the bridge, had had her attention attracted to three boys, of whom the prisoner was one (the other two were much older), by the sound of money falling. The prisoner picked it up and handed it to his companions, by whom a division appeared to be made. She then walked onward , , but had not proceeded more than twenty or thirty yards ere she was passed by a woman, who carried a basket on one of her arms, whilst on the other side of her she ob served the prisoner walking, evidently closely watching her. The woman's attention was principally directed to the basket, and presently a puff of wind having blown her gown aside, the little prisoner pushed his hand into her pocket, and ere he was able to release his arm she laid hold of him and retained her grasp until a police man came up, when she gave him into his custody. The boy had fast clutched in his hand which had been in her pocket a shilling and three sixpences, all of which, of course, were at once claimed by the owner. The Learned JUDGE, when the jury had pronounced their verdict of " Guilty," said—What could be done with this little child? It would be ruination to send him to a common prison. These scenes were positively heartrending. Was he to pass over the cases of these children as though the fact of their being brought to that bar was to be regarded quite as a niatOr of course? Was he to change his nature and so to steel his feelings against the claims and helpless condition of so small a creature as that now before the Court? What could be done with this child? A juryman thought he shoull have been sumnrtrily convicted. The Learned JUDGE—There was the error. What would the juryman say when he was informed, that in the year preceding the establishment of that tribunal several hundreds of children had been summarily con victed without the world knowing anything at a'l about the cases, and, of course, without any benefit either to the prisoners or the public ensuing? The juryman —But it would save juries a greal deal of trouble if it were done. The Learned JUDGE—WouId the juries, then, rather than devote a comparatively few hours and put up with a little personal trouble occasionally, with the view to the amelioration and improvement of the condition of these children, wish that the old system of summary conviction should go on, and thereby continue to cast a heavy burden on the county at large? Another juryman thought it was high time something was done with regard to these young criminals. There ought to be some alteration in the system. The Learned JunoE—No doubt there should; but the alteration that was called for was in the law itself. A law was required that should affect their cases and con dition, and so prevent the vast mass of increasing jw+o , nile offenders. With regard to summary punishments. he could assure the juryman who had suggested that that method should be continued, that it had done end less mischief. It was only the year before that tribunal had been established that there had been 1.600 cases where summary convictions had taken place of children between the ages of seven and fifteen. All of these children had been thus sent to prison, from the police court, without coming before a jury. Their circum stances were thus unknown, the world was altogether ignorant of their condition, or indeed of their convie• tion, and therefore nothing could he done to improve or ameliorate their condition. If the jury were to ask him whether he approved of such scenes as they painfully witnessed, as in the present instance, of this mere baby, in that Court every session, his reply was, that he did not. But even that was very far better than the system of summary conviction, where the child was sent to prison, and the world knew nothing of his case, or its causes; whilst, when he was brought before a jury, the matter became ono for close inquiry, the cir cumstances and the condition of the child were ascer- ; tained, and the whole went out to the world ; so that iu the end, doubtless, something would be _done for this MARKET NE WS.—(YES TERDA Y. .....ii:sr :11.11:1;1•4.,; , :Tb.
