HEALTH - 0 - F LONDON ASSOCIA- TION. The following queries are now in course of circulation by this association, upon a sheet containing space for the ansvvers to be annexed:— SICKNESS AND DISEASE. 1. Have you observed sickness and disease to arise from badly-constructed and ill-ventilated dwelling., from imperfect sewage, and from bad cleansing of the streets, courts, and alleys ? 2. Have the poor power to remedy these evils ? 3. Are there any nuisances existing, or are there any offensive trades carried on in your locality, such as tallow-boiling, slaughtering of cattle, pig-styes, the burning and boiling et animal or vegetable matter, &c.? 4. In your neighbourhood are there any noxious or offensive chemical works, especially lead, colour, mercu rial, and water-gildinl, factories ? 5. if so, have you found them injuriously affecting the health of those engaged in them, or of the neighbour hood ? 6. Would it be advantageous to the public, that an in spector of nuisances and a public officer of health should be appointed ? 7. Do you approve of the establishment of a council of health to watch over the sanatory condition of cities and towns, with power to rectify all those evils which are removable, and which are prejudicial to health ? 8. In the evidence collected on the sanatory condi tion of the labouring classes by the Poor-law Com missioners, and by the Government health of towns Commission, it is therein stated, that it would be a pecuniary saving to the rate-payers to remedy at the parish expense, the insufficient drainage, the bad cleansing, and the imperfert ventilation of houses, work shops, and public buildings, inasmuch as sickness, and the evils attendant thereon, entail heavy burdens on the public, not only through voluntary institutions, such as hospitals, dispensaries, &c., but add to the increase of poor-rates. Do you agree in this opinion ? SEWERS. 9. Are all the houses and streets in your neighbour hood provided with sewers and drains ? 10. Are there any open drains or sewers, and if any, are you aware of any case of disease having arisen from their effluvia ? 11. Should . the sewers and drains be covered over ? 12. No general survey as to levels of the metropolis has yet been made, as a necessary preliminary for effi cient drainage. Do you think that such a step should be immediately undertaken by competent persons legally appointed ? 13. It is recommended by the Health of Towns Com mission, as well as by the Select Committee of the House of Commons, appointed April 30, 1846, to ex amine the application for local Acts, &c., that all water works, all work for drainage of towns, for sewage, and for paving, should be placed under one administrative body. Dces your opinion coincide with these recom mendations ? 14. Are you of opinion that the new legislative mea sures are required, applicable to all towns and populous district, for the introduction and maintenance, not only of an efficient and economical system of house drainage, sewage, paving, and cleansing, but also for the provision of an ample supply of water for public and private purposes ? CESSPOOLS AND PRIVIES. 15. Are there any cesspools and privies in the poorer neighbourhoods full and suffered to overflow ? 16. Are they productive of sickness among the in habitants ? 17. State what cases of disease you have known to arise from this cause. 18- Have the houses of the poor separate privies, or are the inmates compelled to use a common one, indis criminately as to sexes? 19. Are uncleanly and indecent habits created by the want of separate privies? 20. Is it practicable to introduce a water-closet into each house? If so, would it produce more decent and cleanly habits, and a better state of health? CABINETS D'AISANCE OR 1 1 7-TER CLOSETS, AND URINALS. 21. Do not the public sutler in their health and coin fort, and is not decency outraged, from the want of public water-closets and urinals in large cities and towns? WATER SUPPLIES. 22. Are the door adequately supplied with water? 23. What accommodation have they for keeping the water, and what is its general condition? 24. Is the charge for it reasonable ? 2.5. Does its scarcity conduce to uncleanliness and ill health, and are the comforts of the poor greatly abridged in consequence ? 26. Is it not the duty of the Legislature to produce an abundant supply of water, and to protect the poor from high and unreasonable charges ? 27. Would not a constant supply of water to the public at large, and to the poor in particular, at high pressure, instead of the present intermittent supply at low pressure, greatly conduce to the comfort, cleanliness, health, and morality of the people ? 28. Would it not be advantageous if all dwelling houses capable of being benefited by an amply supply of water were rated in the same way as for sewage and other local purposes ? 29. Are the present water companies sufficiently under the control of G overnment ? VENTILATION AND LIGHT. 30. Is sufficient attention paid to the ventilation of workshops and houses occupied by the poor in your dis trict ? _ _ _ 31. Is the neglect of it productive of demoralisation, such al drunkenness, &c. ? _ . 32. It is proved that the want of ventilation is a pro lific source of disease, such as fever, consumption, scro fula, &c., among the inhabitants. Do you think that public means should be adopted for promoting a proper system of ventilation in all edifices for public assem blage and resort, especially those for the education of youth ? 33. It is likewise proved by the evidence taken by the Health of Towns Commission, that overcrowding in common lodging houses in poor neighbourhoods is a prolific source of disease and demoralisation. Are you of opinion that such lodging-houses should be placed under inspection and controul ? 34. Do you think that in the construction of dwel lings for the poor, provision for the efficient admission of light (especially solar light) and air should be en forced ? 35. Do you think it would be desirable to give power to parishes, or to the local administrative bodies, to raise money to purchase property for the purpose of owing thoroughfares whereby both light and air would bwmore freely admitted into the abodes of the poor? 36. Can you suggest any plan reconcileable with the feelings of the poor to remedy the evil of keeping the bodies of their dead (frequently for a week or upwards) in th'e same room with the living? STREET CLEANSING, 37. How often are the streets, courts, and alleys cleansed in your di.trict, and by what means? 38. Are they effectually cleansed? 32. Are the habits of the people as to cleanliness af fected by the condition of the streets, alleys, &c. 40. What is the reason that in some parts of the me tropolis the street, courts, and alleys are cleansed daily, while in others they are only cleansed at indefinite and irregular periods? 41. Are those courts which are private property cleansed by the public scavengers? 42. Ought mews to be kept as clean as the streets? 43. If the public thoroughfares were skilfully con structed, proper attention being paid to surface drain age, and efficient kennelling, would there, in your opi- nion, be a diminution in the price to be paid for cleans ing them? INTERMENT IN TOWNS. 44. Is not interment in towns frequently attended with desecration of the dead, as well as with outrage on public decency, and is not the frequent disturbance of the.earth in churchyards, saturated with the gases of decomposing animal matter, deleterious to health ? SMOKE AND GASES. 45. Are not the quantities of smoke generated in cities and towns injurious to the health and comfort of the in habitants ? 46. Ought not the Legislature to make every possible exertion to abate the nuisance ? BATHS AND WASHHODSES. 47. The Legislature having passed art Act to autho rise municipal authorities and vestries to establish baths nd washhouses for the poor at very low rates of pay ment, are you of opinion that they should be brought into use in your locality without delay ? 48. Would you recommend baths being introduced into parish and union workouses and hospitals, not as a remedial measure only, but to promote the health and cleanliness of the inmates ? 49. Do you think that habits of uncleanliness are pro• ductive of demoralisation ? 50. Should it not be an object of the Legislature to encourage the spirit of commercial enterprise in the execution of the measures for sanatory improvement ? 51. If the expense for sanatory improvements should be charged upon properties, and be distributed over a term of yeare, coequal with the probable duration of the works, and if a special rate of small amount be levied upon the occupiers until the capital and interest shall have been repaid—do you think the burden would be felt by the people ? _ ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH. , WESTERN RAILWAY.- On Saturday last an accident of a most alarming cha racter occurred at the Pinner station of the above rail way. Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon a policeman, named Charles Chadband, was on duty at the station, and giving signals to a luggage train which was coming up amidst an unusual noise, and in turning round he was struck by the buffers of a pilot engine, and knocked down, and the wheels passed over his feet. The poor fellow is greatly bruised about the head, being cut in severs': places, besides sustaining the loss of three of his toes and other injuries. The injuries about the head are stated by the surgeon at the University Co:lege Hospital, to which institution he was at once re moved, to be of a dangerous character. NOT GIVEN TO CHANGE. —An elderly maiden lady, Miss Symons, died at her residence in Park-row last week, a t th e advanced age of 86.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 1501., the amount of a bill of exchange, given to the plaintiff by the defendant for teaching the son of the defendant what plaintiff represented to be a newly-invented method ) oil painting, a knowledge which would enable the defendant's son to make a fortune. The plaintiff, Captain Barclay, had advertised this grand secret in several newspaper s, and defendant's son had gone down to Exeter to plaintiff to be instructed. The de fence was that the alleged discovery was not new, and that the knowledge communicated was valueless. Several artists, who were called by defendant, de posed to the utter worthlessness of the alleged discovery, Lord DENMAN, in summing up, observed that the question for the jury was, whether the plaintiff at the time of obtaining the bill believed that he had some secret of value to communicate. There could be no doubt that as to the real value of the secret it was worth nothing at all. It had been proved in evidence, by per sons competent to form an opinion, that the secret was of so little worth that the young man would have to unlearn all that he had learned. A showy kind of painting had been taught, but not the manner of pro ducing a picture valuable to persons who were judges of these things. With regard to the representation made by him of having received two gold medals, it appeared that they were only two silver ones, and those had been obtained by requiring a second plain medal, and detaining the first. If the jury were of opinion that the plaintiff had grossly misstated the con sequences of the communication of his secret, they would find a verdict for the defendant. The jury, without a moment's deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. _ _ _ Mr. Crowder appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wat son for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 8. HOLDSWORTH V. GIBSON AND OTHERS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Louis Bournier, a Frenchman, was examined in French, and interpreted to the Court by Thomas Davies. Witness—l was a resident at Tours, in 1842, and knew Dr. Holdsworth and Mr. M‘Donald. I was at a café, on the evening of the 9th of February, and saw M‘Donald there with Mon. Deson, a Captain of French Hussars, Baron Rosseti, mid another gentleman. Mr. Connolty was also present. They were playing when I arrived at the café, and Mr. M‘Donald was along with Mr. Connolty. They adjourned to a room at the bottom of the garden, when Mr. M`Donald went out and brought in Dr. Holdsworth. They ad journed to that room at twelve o'clock, as the police closed the cal& between eleven and twelve. They went there at the desire of the master of the café. When Mr. M`Donald came back with Dr. Holdsworth. Mr. Con notty was playing against Mons. Deson. The former bet on Mr. Connolty's side, and Baron Rosseti and the other gentleman bet on Mons. Deson. The play went on till about day break. The first thing that excited my suspicion of foul play, was the continual luck of Mr. Connolty. They were playing at ecarte, and I remarked always, that when the cards came into Mr. Connolty's, and he had a king, he " pitched the corner." I further noticed that every time Connolty dealt, he either turned up a king, or had it in his hand. About two o'clock, Baron Rosseti and his friend was leaving, but I followed him, and brought him back, to show him how the game was going on. I pointed out to Baron Rosseti a blue pack of cards on the chimney-piece, which Connolty had been using. Each party produced their own cards in the game. I called attention to the game, and pointed out the king which was marked in a peculiar manner by the thumb nail. I had watched very closely the proceedings of Connolty, and noticed his maneeuver lug, and also that when the king should have gone to his adversary it came to himself. (The witness here showed the process of manipulation employed.) Dr. Holdsworth and Mr. M.Donald betted continually on Connolty. Mr. Connolty was winner to a considerable amount when they commenced playing at double or quits. M. Deson had at this time lost 3,000 francs. They played about twenty minutes, when I interrupted them by putting my hands on the cards and saying " they should not continue to play." M. Dyson asked the reason, when I answered, "Because you are playing with a cheat." Connolty got up and inquirt d why I said so, when I answered " You are a cheat and a thief, for the four kings are marked." Connolty answered, "If that is so, let us throw them into the fire, and begin the game with a fresh pack of cards." This was refused ; when the cards were sealed up by Baron Rosseti and Mr. M'Donald. Baron Ros . sett first proposed this. Mr. Connolty wanted the cards to be thrown into the fire, but Baron Rosseti refused, saying they had proofs which required them to be sealed up. I afterwards appeared as a witness against Connolty at the Court de Correctional of Tours. The plaintiff gave evidence in Mr. Connolty's favour. I heard Mr. Connolty condemned to two years' imprisonment. I was subsequently present at the Court of Blois, to which Mr. Connolty appealed. The plaintiff was again pre sent as a witness for Connolty. The latter was con demr.ed to two years' imprisonment, and to five years' surveillance of the police, with the deprivation of civil rights in the meantime. The witness was cross-examined at some length with the object of showing that he had not been examined at the trial of the second appeal of Connolty to the Orleans Court, because Connolty had evidence to show he was not trustworthy. Witness admitted that one or two persons from the prison of Tours bad been sub poenaed to that effect, but the Court did not believe what they said, and a former master of his, upon whom it was alleged the witness had perpetrated a felony, came for ward and gave him an excellent character. A copy of an examination of Louisa La Silva, taken at Tours by commissioners, on the 19th of August, was then read. She stated that she had resided for ten years there. Dr. Holdsworth rented a furnished house from her. He had a good number of visitors, and they re mained till late at night. He went off in May, 1845, and left a bill for rent unpaid. He now owes 3,000 f. When he left Tours the time for which he had taken the house was not expired. After he left many tradesmen called to see him. Mrs. Holdsworth did not leave till about six weeks after Dr. Holdsworth went away, and she left at night without witness's knowiedge. The deposition of Francis Goubau, of Tours, was next read, which set out that Mr. M'Donald had rented a house of him from 1842 to 1843. He remained sixtee❑ months. He had a wife and three children. Mr. Con nolty was a friend of Mr. M'Donald's, and visited him often. He once saw Dr. Holdsworth at Mr. M'Donald's. A deposition of a brother of Madame La Silva was next read, but it contained no material point bearing on the case. Timothy Serve, attorney, produced an attested copy of a decision of the Court of Cassatiou, on an appeal of Michael Connolty from the Court of Blois. It was in fact, setting aside the judgment of the inferior court on an interpretation of the law of France as applied to the case, but not on the facts adduced on trial, and remitting it, with all the documents in the case, for further considera tion. The witness. in examination, deposed that the reason why Baron Rosseti was not present was his being engaged on special service in the army. lie had asked a few days ago for the adjournment of the case , in order to produce Baron Rosseti, but the plaintiff opposed Baron Rosseti could not attend the commission when it was at Tours. When he was at Paris he learned that Captain Deson had gone to Africa. Lionel Lavalle, a resident of Guernsey, examined — I am au hotel and coffee-hothe keeper in Guernsey. I know both the plaintiff and Mr. Nl'Donald. I first saw them there in 1843, but the month I do not remember. It was, I think, about the end of the year. I have seen them often together at my house. They were living in the island at that time. I only saw them play once at nay house ; it was at ecarte. There were three others present on that occasion—MM. Boyer, .Armand, Denure, and Dr. Holdsworth. Of these two only played, M'Donald betted. The plaintiff played with the other three in succession. They were all losers to the plaintiff. I understand the game, and observed certain proceedings of a suspicious character. I begged Mr. Armand, in consequence, not to play. What was done was by a quick movement among the cards, which only a practised eye could observe. Mr. M'Donald, during the game noticed, had always some particular order to give me when the cards were shuffled, in order, I suppose, to call off my attention. M'Donald kept walking about, or standing beside Dr. Holdsworth. Dr. Holdsworth always won, but the sum realised was not very great as the stakes were small. Mr. M'Donald, accompanied by Dr. Holdsworth, came next day into tie coffee-house and asked if any one would play, but no one would. I saw Mr. M'Donald in the court yesterday. The cross- examination elicited no point of material importance. Thomas Freehold deposed that in 1841 or 1842 he resided at Guernsey. He met the plaintiff and M'Donald there at the United Service Club. He saw them occa sionally play at ecarte, sometimes against each other, and sometimes for, but he noticed they always won at high stakes. Witness went on to describe what he had noticed. when M'Donald or Dr. Holdsworth played at ay..; Whoever played singly invariably was the winner. Their plan was this—Dr. Holdsworth would challenge M`Donald to play, provided one of the bystanders would join with plaintiff, when the latter lost. On other occa sions M`Donald would challenge in the same way, when Dr. Holdsworth win. He never saw Dr. Huldsworth pay M•Donald any money. Witness, on one occasion, played with Nl'Docati at cutting cards, when he won 5/. M'Donald wished then to play double or quits, but he refused. Then they agreed to play It off in twenty-four cuts, when, out of that number. M'Donald cut twenty-three times higher than he did. On another occasion witness played partners with Dr. Holdsworth against M`Donald, when the former al. ways lost. Witness then gave up partnership, when the two partners continued the play, whcn Dr. Holdsworth won continually to a nominal amount of 8001. No mo ney, however, passed between them. The examination of William Taylor, taken at Guern • sey, was next put in and read. It was similar to the evidence that has already been given as to the proceed ings of Dr. Holdsworth and Mr. Al‘Donald at Guernsey. Siras Trapeau, a captain in the army, said he was living at Guernsey as a half-pay officer in 1844. He re collected Dr. Holdsworth and Mr. M`Donald. They left in the autumn of 1844, and M‘Donald came back some time after. Dr. Holdsworth followed. Witness was a member of the United Service Club, to which Mr. M‘Donald applied to be admitted on his return, but he was black-balled. About this time another club was projected, called the British Club, which was held at the house of Mr. Taylor, and of which Dr. Holdsworth and Mr. M`Donald were members. There were rumours abroad derogatory to these gentlemen's characters. Mr. M`Donald had been black-balled on account of information derived from Tours. Witness told this subsequently to the black-balling of Dr. Holdsworth, and he said he would make the parties who said so "pay for it," and that "he would bring them up." Witness afterwards learned about plaintiff's play at Guernsey, and told him of it. The witness here gave some particulars as to the proceedings of the plaintiff' in the island, on which the charges and rumours alluded to were founded. Several other depositions of evidence, taken by com mission, in Guernsey, were put in and read. They cor roborated in a great measure the allegations of the wit nesses that had been examined. debt there when as a general left, aud practitioner. h ad notn ie e siTwo witnesses from Leicester gave evidence that Dr. Holdsworth left that neighb our h oo d i n 1839. He h w a e d s i b n e been practising considerable liquidated it. He sold his furnit ure , it was alleged, to l c pay his creditors, but did not do so. Sir F. THESSIGER, in a long and eloquent speech, reviewed the evidence, contending that no direct proof of the dishonest and disreputable transactions alleged had been given. It was at the most but a bare suspicion, and on that, he trusted, the jury would not allow the character of the plaintiff to be blasted for ever. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up. lie said though the action was brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for the injury done to his character by the libel in question, he (the Lord Chief Justice) could not but remark how little he had done to give a satisfactory ac count of himself. In matters of the present kind, when a person came forward to claim damages, it was neces sary that he should give something like a reasonable ac count of himself. This, he must submit, had not been done in the present instance in such a manner as was to be expected. It seemed that the first they had heard of him was as a general practitioner at Leicester, where, before leaving, he advertised a sale of his furniture, intimating to certain creditors who importuned him for money, that he would apply the proceells of the sale to their benefit. It did not appear he had ever so applied the funds Again they found him residing some time in Tours, where he also contracted debts, and when pressed for his rent, he said he was going over to England to bring back some money for that purpose. He left, but it would seem had never paid the woman in question any thing up till the present tune. It did appear at the same time he had not been maintaining himself by his profession, as no one had been called who he had at tended; nor was any evidence given to warrant the supposition that he so supported himself. The charge brought against the plaintiff was a very serious one, being that of unfair gambling, and he (the Lord Chief Justice) had been anxiously expecting under the cir circumstances some good account given of him. lie certainly expected Mr. M`Donald would have been called, who, it was proved, was in court yesterday, in order, as a friend, and, it would seem, a companion, to give some satisfactory account of plaintiff, but this had not been done. When counsel for the defendants had so strongly challenged them to produce Mr. M‘Donald, and when the plea of justification put upon the record inti • mated the course the defendants intended to take, he did expect this matter would have been more fully at tended to. Still it was their (the jury's) duty, to see the defendants' pleas established by evidence, and to that he would address himself. The Lord Chief Justice went over the newspaper article, explaining its charac ter in relation to the law of libel. It was certainly strongly libellous in its terms, and what the jury had to do with, was the justification set up. They must, in considering that, take the proceedings of the plaintiff at Tours, Guernsey, and Plymouth, and out of the whole transactions, as viewed in connexion with each other, come to a decision. The Lord Chief Justice then pro ceeded to read the evidence bearing on the general charge; commencing at Tours, and goingl through the whole in the order of time. Before he had finished the evidence, The Foreman intimated that the jury were unani mously of opinion that the defendants had made out their case. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL called the attention of the Court to the fact that there De ere seven pleas, and that the jury would have to give a separate answer on each. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, with respect to two of the pleas, that about Baden, there having been a mis take in not setting it forth as Wisbaden ; and that re specting the alleged confederacy with O'Brien, which was not proved, the jury would have to give them fur the plaintiff, leaving it to the Court to attach what im portance to those they thought proper ; wish regard to the other pleas, they would go for the defendants. The Jury then gave a verdict to the plaintiff on the two pleas stated, damages one farthing , and for the defendants on all the others, which are the main pleas. The case did not close till ten o'clock last night, and excited great interest throughout. An action by M‘Donald against the defendant is still pending. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 8. &BRIEN V. CLEMENTS. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover compensation in damages for a libel, which contained a gross and unfounded imputation upon the character of the plaintiff, and which was published in a weekly paper, the property of the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Murphy, Mr. M`Mahon, and Mr. Lush, appeared for the plaintiff ; the. Attorney-General, Mr., Cockburn, and another Learned Gentleman, for the rietor of Belt s Lil o i n L on d on , in opening the ca se , said th a t de fendant. a paper which had a moat extensive circulation in every t own throughout the kingdom , and among gentlemen of hi g h character in the sporting w orld , in the columns of the Mr defendant Sergeant. w t u h a e P t r v o , p which a libel affecting the character of any gentleman would act with great force. The libel in question was published in the month of FebruarY, 1846. The plain tiff was an Irish gentleman, who had resided in London for five or six years. In the month of August, 1845, the plaintiff happened to go to Plymouth, and renewed an acquaintance, which had taken place many years be fore in Ireland, with a gentleman named APDonald. By that gentleman he was introduced to another gentleman of the name of Holdsworth, and, with the exception of that introduction, the plaintiff was utterly unacquainted ssith that person. Mr. Holdsworth was a person moving in a high station of life, and which was calculated to in dicate to a stranger like the plaintiff, that he was a per fectly honourable man. Mr. liii'llonald was a person who in his own country held the station of a gentleman, and was also a magistrate in the country. The plaintiff remained for a period of five weeks in Plymouth, and be came intimate with many persons in that town of great respectability. At the end of that period the plaintiff was about to leave that town to go to Torquay, and be fore he left the town he thought he would make a fair return fur the hospitality he had received, and he ac cordingly invited several of his friends to his lodging, and it was upon the subject of this entertainment that the present libel was published. The libel in question was as follows : "ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB. " EXPULSION OF TWO BLACK LEGS. " Circumstances of suspicion had attached for some time to two members of this club, owing to two gentle men having been plucked' at the residence of one of the suspected members in a manner which seemed to in dicate foul play. One of the parties was fleeced to the amount of 1,0701. in one evening, at cards ; the other gentleman lost above 2001. In the case of the first gen tleman whom we have alluded to, the parties were betting on the turn-up card, and his opponent managed to turn up a king nine times running. All these circumstances led to suspicion, that suspicion led to inquiry, and the inquiry has resulted in the expulsion of the two suspected members, and one of them suddenly leaving the place." The part which more particularly affected the plaintiff was the following por tion of the libel:—" A short time since a person known now to he a confederate of the expelled parties sought admission into the club, his name was O'B. He gave a crack entertainment a few days before he was to be elected, as he thought. The party was grace d by almost all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood ; he was going to make his entree i n the club in gr ea t style. Two or three days after he stood the ballot, and was black-balled. The next morning he boltod, and some poor tradesman had to lament the fashionable character of his entertain ment, and the great desire he had for display. The talk and excitement this black-balling occasioned was very great ; other gentlemen who had stood the ballot at the same time trembled lest the same fate should await them, especially as one black ball in seven excludes any person who may seek for admission. Subsequent events proved that the course then adopted with reference to 0'13., was a very judicious and wise one. It turns out that Dr. H. and Mr. O'B., the members bla ck balled, had been engaged in nefarious transactions at Tours and at Guernsey, for which they had been convicted and impri soned In Ireland they had equally distinguished them selves. Plymouth has had a riddance of such black sheep, whose intamy was only equalled by their impudence." The Learned Sergeant went on to say, that there was not the slightest foundation for the charges contained in the libel. The plaintiff had never been either to Tours or to Guernsey, and the occurrences alluded to in the former part of the libel took place prior to his visit to Plymouth. Mr. Tunstall, a member of the Royal Yacht Club, was called, and stated, upon cross-examination by the ATTORNEY•GENERAL, that in reading the paragraph he should at once perceive that it did not refer to the plain tiff, and that the initials of Mr. O'B. were, in his opinion, set up by the printer in mistake for M. A. C., the initials of one of the p , rsons who was biaelt-balled and expelled from the club. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then replied with great warmth, and denounced the pri sent as an action brought not for the purpose of vindicating plaintiff's character so much as for the purpose of obtaining damages. The situation of a public journalist was i.ne of great onerous ne-,s, and the proprietor of the journal now sued, as de f7lidant in the present action, had in the discharge o a great public duty admitted the paragraph into his co lumns. If it could be proved that the defendant had published this statement by gross negligence or by actual malice, no doubt the plaintiff was entitled to great damages ; but nothing of the sort had been proved, an ample apology had been published, and the sum of ten shillings had baen paid into court. With reference to the libel itself, it was clear that one portion of it had no reference to the plaintiff. It was headed "Royal Western Yacht Club— ' Expulsion of Two Members." Why, the plaintiff never was a member ; he was refused admittance to the club, as stated in the latter part of the paragraph. In reference to that part of the libel charging te plaintiff with being a confederate of these parties, the defendant not being able to prove, had published an ample apology and retractation. The present was only a series of actions. Dr. Holdsworth and Mr. Nl'Donald had brought actions against the proprietor of the Plymouth Times for the same libel. The plaintiff had also brought an action against the Plymouth Times. The article in question was copied from a country paper without inte rest or without malice, and the smallest amount of da mages would amply satisfy the demands of the case. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in summing up to the jury, said that as it was admitted that a verdict should be given for the plaintiff, the only question for them to decide would be the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff. The defendant had, it appeared, published an apology for a portion of the libel com plained of, hut the more important portion of it— that referring to the plaintiff being a confederate of cer tain parties who had been expelled from the club for mal-practices, no apology had been made, and although a justification bad been pleaded, yet no evidence had been brought forward for that purpose. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301. O'BRIEN V. BRIANT. This was also an action for libel, brought by the same plaintiff as in the former action, against the defendant, the proprietor of the Plymouth Journal, for the publica tion of the libel complained of in the fornier action. Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., on the part of the defendant, said that he had been misled by the intimacy which sub sisted between the parties into the supposition that the plaintiff WFS a confederate with them, but that subsequent inquiries had led him to believe that such was not the case ; and he, therefore, wished to express his sorrow for the publication of the libel, and at the same time to retract everythinr , contained in the paragraph which had the slightest reference to the plaintiff. If the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff would accept this apology, he would consent, on the part of the defen dant, to a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages to carry costs. _ _ vV Mr. Sergeant MURPHY said that his client had no ob jection to such a course, providing all the costs, in cluding those between attorney and client, were paid. Mr. CocanuaN declined to accept such terms; he had no objection to pay the usual costs of these actions. The LORD CHIEF BARON—When I was at the bar I never would be a party to any agreements involving the payment of costs as between attorney and client. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY at length acceded to the pro position of the Learned Counsel for the defendant. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Under these circumstances I have no doubt, considering the ample and handsome apology made, that the verdict will be of more value to the plaintiff than one returned for a large amount of damages. The jury accordingly returned a verdict for the plaintiff'—Damages, 40g. LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEEMEN. CELL V. LORD CURZON. In this case Mr. Martin and Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiff; the Attorney-General (with whom was Mr. Keean) appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff was a solicitor, carrying on business in the Carlton-chambers, who had been employed as a so• licitor to the Oxford, Thame, High Wycombe, and Ux bridge Junction Railway. The defendant was the deputy-chairman of the managing committee of the above-named railway. The plaintiff's demand against the defendant was for the sum of 5,0001. Upon the winding up of the affairs of the company several meetings of the provisional com mittee were presided over by the defendant, at which resolutions were passed to the effect that each of the members should contribute a certain sum towards the expenses already incurred. Of this sum so contributed the plaintiff had received 1,4801. The defendant had not, however, paid any portion, and it .was to enforce the payment of the balance of the account that the present action was brought against the defendant. The defendant, among other pleas, pleaded non-liability, and this was the issue which was to be tried. Witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff to prove the facts above stated, also that his Lordship was present at several meetings of the provisional committee, and presided upon each occasion ; and that the minutes of the first meeting of the company, on the Bth of Octo ber, 1845, appointing the plaintiff solicitor to the com pany were confirmed and signed at a subsequent meet ing, on the 26th of October, by his Lordship. A ma naging committee (three of which were to be a quorum) were also appointed by the provisional committee. At this stage of the proceedings, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL interposed, and said that he must make an objection to the reception of any evi dence of a date subsequent to the date of the 20:h of October, no meeting having been attended by the de fondant since that period, and he apprehended, according to the opinion of Mr. Baron Parke, that only thug] persons who should be present at the meeting when any order was given were to be held liable for such order. Another objection was also raised by the Learned Gentleman, which was, that the solicitor was appointed under the 6th section of the Act of 7, and 8 Victoria, to register and do all necessary works for the formation of the company. He had not registered himself as the solicitor to the company, for it appeared that he was registered as solicitor by the promoter. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he would reserve these points. The examination of Mr. Cayley, the promoter and secretary of the company, was then proceeded with. The case, however, was not completed when the Court rose, and the further proceedings were postponed till to-morrow. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 8. IN RE CHARLES COLLINS. This bankrupt, who had been secretary to Pilbrow's Atmospheric Railway Company, and was a provisional committeeman, or otherwise connected with several other railways, came up this day to apply for his certificate. After hearing the examination of the bank rupt, which took a considerable time, The Learned COMMISSIONER gave judgment, and said that it was with the bankrupt's conduct as a trader that the Court had to deal, and the question was raised as to whether there had been reckless speculation prejudicial to the estate. He thought there had not. It had, how ever, been alleged that a large , amount of shares had not been accounted for. Strict inquiries had been made on that point, and advertisements inserted, and the charge had not been made out ; lastly came the question of a fraudulent preference to one creditor ; that he considered made out at the last ex amination, decided on and suspending the certificate for six months. That time having expired in making in quiries,:and no further charge being made out, the sus pension would be calculated from the last examination, and the certificate now be granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Mr. Connell, chronometer and watchmaker, of No. S 3, Cheapside, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of making a statement, the publicatio n of which . would, he thought, be likely to prevent a good deal of imposition. A well dressed, middle-aged man, accom panied by a female of dashing appeara nce, called at hi shop on Monday, and selected a gold watch and appen dages, the price of which was 24/. ss. The gentleman tendered in payment a check for that amount upon Dixon and Co., bankers, in Chancery - lane ; but h is Lord ship's informant would not, under any c i rc umstan o c h e , _ c let the articles be moved out of his shop unt il he should ec l k d . ascertain whether the bankers would honour the h The caution thus exercised proved to be useful. At the banking-house it was stated that the party who signed the instrument kept no account with the Heil 9 had acted The LORD MaYou said that Mr. C i with a discretion which seemed to be wholly since the holly unintelli gible to the many tradesmen wbo i com mencement of his Mayoralty ca lled upon him to make complaints of the dishonest dealings of their customers. They had asked for a dvice afuterW the rminy had gt on been Crow rob r. bed. . athe" The cheque was signed " The female, who accompanied Mr. R. W. Crowther w as , lady-like person, of majestic appearance, dessed Mr. Connell said, a veryin s able tippet and cuffs, and a black velvet bonnet. The ch e q ue remains in the h ands of Mr. Connell, neither the lady nor the gentleman hay •u called to learn the result of the application for the cash. Mr. Connell bad scarcely left the Justice-room, when two respec table shopkeepers entered, and co m pl a i ne d that a young man, named Charles Thompson, who gave his aunt's address at Camberwell as his own, had suc ceeded in plundering several tradesmen in the City, b) a plan in frequent use, bilk rendered still profitable by the address of the fraudulent party. He ordered goods, and stated that they should be paid for upon delivery. When the porter called he was sent back for more arti cles, and was to be paid the whole amount upon his re turn to the purchaser, who of course took care to be out of the way upon ail future visits upon the subject. The Loan MAYOR observed that the tradesmen of the City, with all their experience, exposed themselves in a most marvellous manner to the felonious manccuvres of the multitude of adventurers of London. The instruc tions given to the porter in such a case as that which had been just represented ought to have been peremp tory. The necessary caution had not been used, and the fraud had resolved itself into a mere debt. His Lordship adverted to Mr. Connell's conduct in refusing to take the cheque, and said he had been given to un derstand that the cheque handed to that gentleman, in payment for the watch. was the second that had been presented on the same day at Messrs. Dixon and Co.'s counter. A cabman was charged with having tumbled from his cab in a state of drunkenness. A policeman saw the defendant fall from his seat in the gutter, and regulally turn himself round to sleep. The defendant said it was merely sleep that conquered him, as he had been up the whole of the preceding night looking for fares. The Lot D MAYou said, in that case a fine would not 1?..05! answer the purposys of justice, and sentenced the cabman to 14 days imprisomient. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 8. .

WILLIAM HERBERT (THE MOUSE), AND JAMES ED WARDS (OF CHELTENHAM), FOR FIFTY POUNDS.—This match, as those who interest themselves in matters pugi listic are already aware, was a trial of skill between a well known London sparrer, Herbert, who has twice won laurels in the prize-ring, and Edwards, a provineial star, whcse rising in the metropolitan horizon may be dated only from this 7th of December. Nevertheless, in his own country he is accounted a luminary of the first magnitude, and has thrown sundry minor bodies into total eclipse. The betting at the Barrington Arms, Shrivenham, "ruled," as the commercial men say, " at par," and the notes we saw transferred to the stakeholder were laid at even with sovereigns or other convertible medium. At twelve the belligerents were on the ground, an elastic piece of turf, about two miles from the town, and a trifle less from the rail way station which marks 72 miles from London per iron ribband Sears (of Cheltenham) and Harry Broome seconded Edwards, while Barnash and Jem Turner, esquired Herbert. To describe the rounds of a fight unexampled in the whole range of pugilistic re• cord, and to recapitulate the 167 rounds of which it consisted, and the chances and changes which four hours and thirty-one minutes gave rise to, at the close of which, darkness put an end to the contest, would be " stale, flat, and unprofitable," even did we not thereby exclude matter of more "pith and moment." We will, hot% ever, biceps, d lengthened wear and attempt at outline of th e contest. Herb ert , a miniature compact and elleisrecnklensiti,n seemedshoulder, breast, ah calculatedfor tear, added to which his heart was evidently in the right place; Edwards was his contrast in all but courage—thin, • long reached, and greyhoundish , hatchet-faced, stand irg right foot forernost ,andshifting with most provoking activity and coolness. He exhibit e d th e s h arpest cut specimen o f a slice of " Single Gloucester" that Chel tenham ever produced. His style of milling was, for the first 20 rounds, effective, and Herbert's f • frontispiece was curi,usly illuminated in colour, his left eye exhibiting his namesake—a "mottle"— and his• right following suit. Subsequently, from the 25th to the iioth round, Herbert b a d gamely to force the fighting,but • his short arms and tubby build gave the shifty Edwards a pull in his favour —he fought on the retreat and got down, occasionally delivering anugly - smack with the right, in the style of the late Young Dutch Sam, though not with the t . atne effect, or hand. From the 80th to the 120th round Edwards seemed weak, and well he might be, for the 310th minute had expired. He was down at the close of every round, yet, strange to say, remained without a mark on his angular vignomy, except a rubeiaction of the proboscis. Thus the men went on, game as pabbles, wearing out a short December day, still both yet strong, and each pursuing his favourite manoeuvre,--" the Mouse" of bustling, and hitting or missing ; the Chel tenham hero, of propping, jobbing, and getting away or down, till night drew its curtain on the scene, and the referee declared the battle drawn, subject to the stake holder naming a future day of meeting. Of course all bets, as in other similar cases, are drawn, unless mu tually declared to stand until the decision of the event. FATAL AFFRAY AT CHELSEA.—Last evening an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hos pital, on the body of William Woodhans, aged 31 years, lately residing at No. 9, Ellis-street, Sloane-street, Chelsea. The deceased was a painter. On Tuesday night, the 24th ult., he and several companions were drinking at the Hans Town Tap, Lower George-street, when the deceased had some words with a man named George Mitchell, respecting the payment of a pint of beer, and they ultimately commenced fighting in the street. They both fell heavily to the ground, the deceased being underneath. They got up and resumed the fight, and the deceased was thrown a second time, but was unable to get up again. The police came and assisted the deceased, when they found he had received a contused wound at the back of the head, from which the blood was issuing profusely. The deceased was subse quently taken to Mr. Boswood's surgery, where the wound was dressed, and he somewhat rallied. The police afterwards removed him to the above hospital. Mr. C. Hyde, the house surgeon, said the deceased was admitted with a scalp wound at the base of the skull. The deceased remained until ten o'clock on the following day, when he left the institution, although witness begged of him to remain. He returned, and was readmitted and warded, w hen erysicelus in the head supervened, fol lowed by inflammation of the whole scalp, neck, and face, from the wound, which caused his death on Friday last. Th, jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death.' MDLLE. Racuta..—The Siecle of Monday says that it has received a letter from Mdlle.
