LAW INTELLIGENCE. PRIVY COUNCIL, Dec. 11. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat again to-day for the purpose of proceeding with the further hearing of the arguments in the part-heard appeal, " The Queen's Proctor v. The Solicitor of the Duchy of Lancaster," from the Chancery of York. The case, though it presents few facts of any interest to the public, involves points of ecclesiastical law highly im portant to the Crown and the Duchy of Lancaster: namely, whether the Crown or the Duchy of Lancaster is entitled to take out letters of administration to an intestate domiciled within the county palatine of Lan caster; and hence the present appeal, which is, in act, an appeal by her Majesty, as Sovereign against a decision in favour of her Majesty as Duchess of Lancaster. The facts ef the case appear to be as follow :—Anne Rothwell Wignall, commonly called Anne Rothwell, died at Preston, in the County Palatine of Lancaster, in December 1840, under the age of 21, a spinster, and intestate. Being of illegitimate birth, she left no heir or next of kin, but died entitled to personal estate within the county of the value of 3,5001. and upwards. Notice of the deceased's death having been communicated to the Chancellor and Council of the Duchy of Lancaster, her Majestj's warrant of the 28th o f may, 1842, which was countersigned by the Chan cellor of the duchy, was issued as usual fur obtaining a grant of letters of administration of the intestate estate to the then solicitor for the Duchy. In the meantime, however, under the assumption that the property of the intestate bad fallen to her Majesty in right of her Crown, a warrant was issued on the 7th of April, 1842, counter signed by three of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, for grant of letters of administration to George Maule, as solicitor of the Treasury. In this state of things proceedings were taken first in the Consistory Court of Chester, where the Chancellor of the Diocese, the Rev. H. Raikes, delivered an elaborate judgment in favour of the Crown, which, on an appeal to the Chan cery of York, was reversed, and a decision pronounced in favour of the Duchy ofLsncaster, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. Is thecourse of the argu ments several curious documents were referred to, and among others the charter of Edward 111., of the 28th of February 1377, from which the rights of her Majesty ju~e ducatus within the county Palatine of Lancaster arose, and by which the father of the Black Prince created Lancaster a county Palatine, and granted to his son John, Duke of that county. " That he for the whole of his life may have within the county of Lan caster his chancery and his writs to be sealed under his heal, to be deputed, for the office of the chancery, his justices to hold as well pleas of the crown as all other pleas whatsoever touching the coalmon law and the cognisance thereof, and all manner of execution to be made by his writs and his Ministers there, and all other liberties and jura regalia pertaining to a Count Palatine, as freely and entirely as the Earl of Chester is well known to obtain within the same county of Chester, saving always the tenths, fifteenths, and other contribu tions and subsidies granted and hereafter to be granted to us and our heirs by the commonalty of our realm, and the tenths and other contributions granted and here after to be granted to us by the clergy of the same our realm, or imposed and to be imposed upon the same clergy by the apostolic see, and the pardon of life and limbs in case that any person of the same county, or other person in the same county, ought for any delict to lose his life or limb, and also the superiority and power of correcting those things which shall have been erroneously done there in the Courts of our same son, or if our same son or his Ministers shall have failed in doing justice there, also in the Courts of the same our son." These powers and exceptions wire confirmed by the son of the Black Prince when he ascended the English Throne as Richard the Second, and both these charters were referred to by the Queen's Advocate in his arguments on behalf of the royal appellant, for the purpose of showing that the right of the Crown, whether by escheat or otherwise, to real or personal estate, was not mentioned or included in the reservations made in favour of the Crown. The Queen's Advocate, the Solicitor-General, Mr. G. Chilton, and Mr. Townahend were Counsel for the Crown, and Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Ellis (Attorney. General of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Dr. Jenner were in support of the judgment of the Chancery of York. . The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE occupied their Lordships the whole of Tuesday with his arguments on behalf of the Crown. The SOLICITOR• GENERAL, following on the same side, was heard on Wednesday.._ Mr. J. PARKER, on behalf of the Duchy of Lancaster, was heard yesterday, and Mr. Ews, on the same side, was partly heard. Mr. Ews resumed, and concluded his arguments to-day, and The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE replied. Counsel were then ordered to withdraw, and after the lapse of upwards of an hour, were called in, and in formed by Lord BROUGHAM that their Lordships would consider the case before they gave judgment. The question, which was a most important one, had been most ably argued, but should their Lordships require any further wisistance from counsel, due information should be given them. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 11. The Lord Chancellor sat tc day in his Court in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn. FINDEN V. STEVENS.—JUDGMENT. his LORDSHIP gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before his Lordship en Wednesday last, upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, overruling a demurrer put in by the de fendant to the plaintiff's bill. The principal ques tion raised in this case was, whether a person appointed by will to be the manager and receiver of real estates had a right to !he offue, in opposition to the wishes of the party beneficially interested in the estate? Tin: facts out of which the suit arose may b thus detailed :—A gentleman residing near Reading, o the name of 13oshnell, by a will, mode in the year 1840, gave all his real and copyhold estates in and near Read tog, together pith estates in the county of Middlesex, and a large amount of personalty, to J.ihn Stephen and William Blendy, in trust to receive the rents and profits, to pay to his widow an annuity of 1,0001., and to apply the residue to the use of his four nieces for their lit es, with remainder to their children. The testator gate a legacy of 2001. to the plaintiff, Thomas Finden, and after making some other dispositions of property, the will thus proceeded And inasmuch as my estate will require more management than I can expect of my trustees personally to bestow upon it; my wish and desire that the hereinbefore named Thomas Finden, of Upper John- street, Fitzroy-square, architect and sur veyor, on whose judgment and integrity I have great confidence, be appointed for all purposes for which they or he, my trustees or trusteo, may have occasion for an agent, receiver or manager of all, or any of my estates and property. And in case the said Thomas Finden should so desire not to act further in the said office, then it shall be lawful for my said wife's niece and the survivor, to appoint some other person to act in the place of the said Thomas Finden." The will also contained a clause that the trustees and Finden should be answerable for the management; and part of the property of the testator consisted of thirty houses in Reading, and it appeared that the trus tees had declined to employ Fiuden, and had either actually employed, or intimated an intention to employ, another person. In this state of circumstances the bill was filed fur a declaration of the Court to establish the plaintiff's right, and for ati injunction to restrain the trustees from appointing any other person to manage the property of the testator. To this bill the trustees put in a demurrer for want of equity, and upon that demurrer coming on for argument before the Vice- Chancellor of England, his Honour ordered it to be overruled, being of opinion that there was an express direction, in the plainest terms, of the testator, that it was his desire that the plaintiff should be employed if the trustees had occasion for an agent, manager, or receiver, and from this judgment the present appeal was brought. His Lordship to-day, after going through some of the authorities that had been referred to by Counsel in the course of the arguments, stated his opi nit ti clearly to be that the demurrer was sustainable, and ought to have been allowed. The effect of his Lordship's judgment, therefore, is to reverse the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, and to put the plaintiff's bill, in its present shape, out of Court. 6POTTISWOODR V. CLARE.—THE PICTORIAL ALMANAC. Mr. STUART (with whom was Mr. Moore) moved this morning. pursuant to notice. to discharge an order made by the Vice-Chancellor of England, by which he conti nued an injunction he had granted ex parte, restraining the defendant from publishing an almanac, called Old Aloore's Pictori a l Al manac, w i th a wrapper, which the plaintiff alleged was a piracy of one used by himself, in the publication of an almanac, which he called The Pic lorial Almanac. The plaintiff, as was stated upon the application for the injunction to the Vice-Chancellor for England, is the printer of the Parliam en t ary R ecord, and the proprietor of the P i ctorial Times and Pictorial Almanac. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hubback supported Cie deci sion of the Vice-Chancellor. The Lorin CHANCELLOR, without hearing Mr. Stuart in reply , gave judgment, discharging the order of the Vice-Chancellor, thereby dissolving the injunction, upon the undertaking of the defendant to keep an account. The plaintiff to be at liberty, if he should be so advised, to bring an action to establish his right. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 11. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard unopposed petitions, short causes, and cause petitions to-day, none of which possessed any interest except to the parties concerned. - (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Wicasif.) SHUTTLEWORTH V. BENGOUGH. The arguments in this cause were resumed and con cluded to-day. His HONOUR considered that the plaintiff was entitled to one -seventh of the property in question, but he would leave the other points at issue open to future proceedings. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE,.) ARMSTRONG V. STOCKHOLM. The object of thi s bill was two-fold, viz., to rectify en error of the Master, and to enable Mr. Ellier, a solicitor of the Court, to receive certain moneys standing to the credit of th e plaintiff in the cause. It appeared th a t t h e plaintiff was one of four children of aM. Martha Armstrong, and as such was entitled joritto a moiety of hreersifieroupterty. upon his attaining his ma y. H e in Honduras, and it was con e in 1843, in conformity tended that h e w ag not of which the Master made hag = in In opposition to the confirmation of that report. certifiicates were ad duced, to show that the plaintiff was n 1822. His HONOUR considered the evidence sufficient, a n d granted the order req u i re d . EX PARTE HUMANITY FRIENDLY SOCIETY. This was a petition in the above cause on the part of the present trustees against the late trustees, to comp e l them to act in conformity with certain resetutiops tb.st had been agreed to at a general meeting of the share holders. _ called about being a provisional director, that his nephew should be appointed one of the local agents. A sub- sequent meeting of the provisional directors was held at the company's offices, Finsbury-place, on the 4th of November, at which the defendant was present, having come to London expressly to attend. A managing committee was appointed at that time, and instructions were given as to advertising the prospectuses in the newspapers. The witness in consequence of his in structions caused the prospectus to be inserted in the Wolverhampton Chronicle among ether newspapers. Further evidence was called to prove the order given for the insertion of the prospectus, and the number of times it appeared. Under the direction of the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, A GUILLOTINE SCENE in FRANCE: Being at Dunkirk a few years ago, I heard that a murderer was to be executed at Mount Cassel, and I re solved to witness the scene. I accordingly rose very early on the fated morning, and ordered a post chaise to take me to the town where the dreadful tragedy was about to be enacted. After a ride of about an hour and a half, through a fine district, the height of Mount Cassel developed itself in bold outline in the horizon. A number of large windmills upon the summit of the hill met my eyes; and as I advanced more nearly towards the place of destination, the beauty of the ad jacent country and the distant scenery seemed to borrow new charms. At length just as the clock of the town struck seven, the vehicle rolled along that part of the road which runs round the northern base of the lofty mountain, and in ten minutes more I stopped at the Hotel d'Angleterre. This establishment is situate upon the Grand Place, or Market Place, on wnich an immense crowd had already assembled; and in the midst of that multitude. rose high in the air the beams and axe of the dread engine of slaughter which had been erected to wreak the vengeance of the law upon a criminal. The morning was now delightful in the extreme; but never more were the seasons and their changes to shed joy upon the soul of the doomed one; never again would it be his in this life to mark the ingress of one, or the egress of another! Spring, which is so charming, with its soft mornings, and buds, and blossoms, when earth has shaken off the icy hand of winter ; Summer, so pleasant with its blight evenings, and flowers, and rural scenes, and excursions; Autumn, so delicious with its golden days, each one of which we could cleave to for ever; when the fields are heavy with the yellow harvest, arid the gardens hang ruddy with fruits, and the sun, shorn of his fiery beams, is succeeded at night by the harvest moon; and then Old Winter, offering his bright fire-side, with pleasant friends or pleasant books; when, in spite of the freesing air without, the flow of soul gushes most sparkling within ; so that while its chilling breath may blight all nature without, yet it is powerless upon of fnan all these sea s o ns , w ith th e i r varied a blessi ngs , were now as no ; t l o that w retched man whe was hover itt n hh upong ienghechangesianr t respecta antudhde soul theiru verge of eta rnity ; unless, indeed, that c ild winter which stands last upon our list, be taken as an effecting type of t h e other winter now about to follow— an that r llng, cold, freezing winter in whi c h no The criminal, it appeared, had been convicted of a heinous offence—that of murder, accompanied by robbery, and other violence of an infamous nature in respect to a poor girl, who had acted in the capacity of servant to the deceased. The victim of the assas sination was .a small farmer residing in the neigh bourhood of Mount Cassel, upon the estate of the Count de Vandamme ; and the perpetrator of the dreadful action was the farmer's nephew—a dissolute, wild, and incorrigible young man of only three-and twenty. He had been arrested a few days after the murder, and in course of time was tried at Hazebrouck, where he was found guilty. The sentence was death. The culprit appealed unsuccessfully to the Court of Ces sation, by which tribunal the former judgment was con firmed ; and the day of execution had now arrived. The prisoner had been transferred, on the previous evening, from the prison of Hazebrouck to that of Mount Cassel, at which latter town the execution was ordered to take place, the crime having been perpetrated in the vicinity. At quarter to eight o'clock the bell of the church began to toll. By this time the entire market-place was thronged with spectators ; and every window commanding a view of the scene was crowded with human heads. Five thousand pair of eyes seemed to have made the scaffold the focus to which all their visual rays were directed. But there was no improper conduct amongst that living ocean, which appeared as if it had come to dash its waves against the guillotine —that dead and mysterious lighthouse erected there to warn away the giddy mariner from the shoals and sunken rocks of life There was a busy hum—a mur muring sound--like the whispering of myriads of voices ; but there were no indecent cries—no querrulous ejacu lations—no profane talk—no ribald jokes—no snatches of flash songs —no loud and boisterous laughter. The deportment of the multitudes in the market place below was as respectable and decent as that of the better classes who occupied the windows of the dwellings overlook ing it. It was now three minutes to eight, and breathless silence suddenly prevailed—like that sudden and awe inspiring lulling of the breeze upon the ocean just before the wing of the hurricane sweeps over its surface. That silence was broken by the chant of sacred hymns ; and from my window at the hotel I could now descry the funeral cavalcade slowly approaching from the farther extremity of the Grande Place. At first it seemed a dark line of persons, whose sombre uniformity was broken by the white robes of two priests ; but as the mournful procession drew gradually nearer and nearer, I could distinguish the tall and mar tial forms of the gendarmes with their drawn swords— the figures of' the usher of the court - which condemned the prisoner —the jailer, the commissary of police, the mayor, and other civic authorities—and amidst them all, the person of that young and luckless man for whom all this parade, ceremony, anxiety, curiosity, and assembly of multitudes had taken place. Oh ! say not that one life is nothing in the great chain of creation—the doom of' one miserable being who had never done a good action in his life, and who had hitherto dragged on a grovelling existence unnoticed and unknown—had caused the neigt.bouriug towns and villages to pour forth their crowds—bad set the men of justice and the men of the sword to work, and had collected altogether in one point on this fatal morning No insult was offered to the prisoner as he passed along the passage opened for him by the crowd ; but if there were no public demonstration calculated to wound him, there was also an absence of any kind sympathy tending to cheer him. A deep, a stern, a solemn, a re ligious silence was maintained by the multitude as the malefactor, attended by the two priests, dragged himself to the foot of the guillotine. At that moment the exe cutioner, attended by his two assistants, appeared upon the scaffold. He lowered the axe, tried its edg-e and then greased the grooves, in which it worked up and down, with a piece of candle. The gendarmes helped the condemned one up the steps to the platform ; his face was colourless, and upon it could death impress no more hideous expression, nor throw a more ashy pallor than it already wore. His legs almost refused to per form their office ; his hands were clasped together in bitter—bitter agony of mind—but his eyeballs seemed dead and lustreless, although his brain was at that mo ment the seat of such appalling—such w ith er i ng — such lightning blasting thoughts I Oh yo ! who ng a may n say what ag on i es were experienced by that during the few moments he stood upon the platform of the guillotine, while th e execut i oner ' s assistants bound him to the fatal plank ? Wh o s h all young man decide whether that short interval of ineffable horror were not meet expiation for even the dread crime of which he had been guilty ? Oh too dread subject for con templation, if mortal have exceeded the trust reposed in him, and flown ie the face of his Maker by taking away even under the semblance and sanction of human justice, the lives of those who are created in that Maker's image ! The dread preparations were completed ; the criminal was bound powerless to a plank, which was then lowered to a horizontal position, and shoved onward until the head of the miserable man fitted into a hollow in a block of wood, perpendicularly placed beneath the hatchet. Another block of wood, also with a semicircular hol lowing was drawn down above his neck, so that his head was now fixed in a hole resembling those of the stocks. The priests leant forward to whisper the last consolation of man in the malefactor's ears, and all being ready, the executioner pulled a string which let the fatal axe loose. Down—down the newly greased grooves it fell, quick as the eye can wink ; and the head was here— and the trunk was there ! And then the crowds began to disperse, but less rapidly than they had assembled ; and one by one the spectators withdrew their heads from the windows, and the casements themselves were closed, or had their cur tains drawn down, and in an hour after the execution not a trace of that supreme act of the law was left —no, nut even the blood of the criminal upon the pavement, nor a rafter of the guillotine in the market-place. -- ft appears that in consequence of some dissatisfaction, the meeting was subsequently held on the 7th of August, and was adjourned until the 20th of the same month, and it was unanimously agreed at that meeting that new trustees should be elected. A meeting was then held on the sth of October last, when it was resolved that im mediately such election was made those persons who then acted as trustees, as well as the treasurer, should hand over all property and effects they held, ex officio, to the trustees appointed by the subscribers. The defendants refused to accede to the resolution in question, and alleged that the same had not been taken by ballot, and that the proceedings were in other respects informal. The Act of Parliament was to the effect that when a majority of sub scribers decided upon changing the trustees, that those who then held trust should give up the funds in their hands to those who should be appointed to succeed them. Due notice had been given, and all the requ.si tions of law had been complied with. The petition also prayed for the costs of a former petition in th. suit. Mr. Russell and another counsel appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. Wigram for respondents. His HONOUR deferred judgment. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 19/. ; being the amount due for the advertisements inserted after the meeting on the 4th of November, when the defendant took an active part in the concern. At the suggestion of counsel, . . His LORI;9;IIP agreed to certify that it was a proper case to be tried, as several other causes of a heavier nature would depend upon it. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. U. IN RE THE TRING, AFADING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAIL- WAY CO3IPA Y. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Dec. 11. CONSPIRACY.-THE ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. JAMES BUTTON AND OTHERS. To-day was appointed for the last examination of the bankrupts representing the company. Mr. Graham, the official assignee. applied to the Learned Commissioner for an order fur the transfer of the sum of 12,4001., standing in the names of Mess: s. Hill and Everitt, solicitors to the company, in the Union Com mercial Bank, should be transferred to the Bank of England. This case was resumed at the sitting of the Court this morning. It was an indictment for conspiracy, at the instance of Mr. Lewis, an extensive dyer of Oxecdon street, Haymarket. The defendants are James Button, George Button. his son, Thomas Corduroy, and William Wellesford. They were all in the prosecutor's employ ment. Some of them, especially James Button, had been for a number of years. The prosecutor allowed those in his employment to dye articles for themselves and their immediate relatives free of expense. Instead of simply availing themselves of this privilege, they took advantage of it to carry on " jobbing " for their indivi dual profit, to the serious injury of the prosecutor. A considerable number of witnesses were called in support of the case for the prosecution. Some of them are at present employed in the works of the prosecutor, and some of them had been discharged on account of the " jobbing" in question.- The evidence adduced went to show that the practice had been carried on to some extent, and that "jobs" were done through the per mission of the first-named defendant, who was the foreman, and who, it was stated, must have been per fectly aware that the articles which the defendants and others in the establishment brought to dye could not belong to them or to any of their relatives. Most of the wit nesses called to prove fraud on the part of the defendants admitted that they had dyed articles at the prosecutor's works for profit, and that they had treated James Button to drink in consequence. The two Buttons, it appeared, had carried on this kind of " jobbing" to a much greater extent than the other defendants, in consequence of the facilities which they possessed. An understanding, it appeared, subsisted between the whole of the defendants, and that all caryied on business on their own account, at the expense of Mr. Lewis. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN addressed the jury on behalf of Button, and contended that the evidence adduced did not justify the charge brought against James Button. He could not, however, justify the acts of the son. There could be no doubt, notwithstanding many asser tions to the contrary, that the business of the prosecutor was conducted in a very irregular manner, and that ad vantage had been taken of this by those he employed. Nothing had been adduced to show that James Button had done more than he was permitted to do by Mr. Lewis. If George Button and the other defendants had taken advantage of the defendant, and used him as an instrument through whom they might defraud Mr. Lewis, they ought not to inflict punishment upon him, but, considering that he was an old man, and that he had been 34 years in the service of the firm, to give him the benefit of the evidence in his favour. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, and ex plained the law to the jury. He said it was for them to say whether the three defendants, or any two, or ev en one of them, were guilty o f the charges; imputed to them. They could find one of them guilty, because one might conspire with other persons not named in the indictment. The jury, after a short consultation, found all the de fendants guilty of the conspiracy imputed to them. Corduroy nas recommended to mercy by the jury on account of the example set him by the Buttons, al though they entertained no doubt of his delinquency. The defendants will not receive the sentence of the Court until next term. Mr. JAMES, who appeared for the directors, objected. He said, that Mr. Graham had obtained an injunctif. n over the property, and it was not in the power of the Learned Commissioner to make any such order. Mr. LAWRENCE, solicitor to the assignees, considered that the functions of this Court had been superseded by the bill filed in Chancery, unless the bankruptcy was superseded, which could be done on the creditors re ceiving 20s. in the pound. The debts were not much more than 4,000 L, and the cash in hand 12,4(01. ; it would, therefore, save considerable expense if this was done, as the proceedings in Chancery would then drop. Mr. JAMES said that Mr. Grahi‘m, as the official as• signee, had no right to receive more than would pay the expenses and the creditors 20s.,in the pound. Mr. GRAHAM said, as long its he was official assignee, he was entitled to receive ail moneys belonging to the bankrupts. It wis then urged both by Mr. Lawrence and Mr. James, that if Mr. Graham received more than twenty shillings in the pound, he would be placed in great diffi culty as to how to apply the surplus, as there were dif ferent equities amongst the shat eholders. Mr. LAWRENCE said this Court was not in a position to remove the money, which was at present virtually under the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. Mr. JAMES said Mr. Graham assumed that the moneys belonged to the bankrupt, but there was no proof of that being the fact, it stood in the name of Messrs. Hill and Everitt. The Learned COMMISSIONER ultimately held that he had no power to order the removal of the funds, or he would have done so, but his power, under the 18th section of the Act only applied to property in the hands of the treasurer, officers, attorney, solicitor, or agent. Mr. JAMES said, when the creditors were paid in full, the injunction would be dissolved, and matters restored to their original state. He said that the real struggle was for Mr. Graham to get a large sum of money into his hands to charge a commission on it. Mr. LAWRENCE applied for a day to be appointed for a dividend. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he would not fix a day till there were funds in hand. Mr. LAWRENCE said there were funds. Mr. GRAHAM said he had only received 2701., and the costs of obtaining the injunction amounted to 911. It was ultimately arranged that a dividend and audit meeting should be held, and that a bill of costs of Mews. Hill and Everitt, which they claimed as a lien on the 12,4001., and on securities for 6,1001., that the bill should be paid, and the securities handed over to Mr. Graham. SECONDARIES' COURT, Dec. 11. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) JOBBING v. BOURCHETT. The plaintiff is a baker at Kensington, and sought to recover the sum of 151. Is. 3d. for bread supplied to the defendant and his family. The plaintiff's attorney said that the defendant for merly resided in Victoria-grove, Kensington, but during the summer he suddenly left his residence, and was not discovered until lately, when he was met with at a rail way office in Fenchurch-street, he having projected a rail way—he at the time admitted the debt, and promised to pay, but bad not done so, and no one now appeared on his behalf. BAIL COURT, Dec. 11. CLERK V. EAGLE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a surveyor, against the defendant, who was one of the pro jectors of the London and Bury Railway, to recover the sum of 6001. for work and labour in making surveys. After considerable discussion, the matter in dispute was rt ferred to arbitration, the main question in dispute being whether the work done was worth the amount, and ought to be recovered or not. The jury having heard evidence to this effect, gave a ♦erdict for the plaintiff. The only other cause tried was Haghe v. Webb for brickmaking—the question was whether they had been well made so as to entitle plaintiff to the full price. The case was totally devoid of interest. The jury were detained some time in consequence it the absence of defendant's attorney and counsel, and o was at length insisted on for the plaintiff that the case should proceed and it was opened. The defendants' counsel however soon afterwards appeared. The jury said they were fined if they did not attend, and it was too bad they should be unnecessarily detained. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 11. In this case M T r EL l 2 a u rti e n . El an Or m Eß . Mr. Bramwell appeared for the ila'ntiff, and Mr. Humphrey for the defendant. 11 . is wis an action to recover the value of certain goods seized by the Sheriff of Middlesex, under an exe cution st3ainst a Mr. Smith. The plaintiff, who married Smith - a daughter, claimed :he goods as his property, al leging that they had been given to his wife. On the part of the plaintiff, Mr. S. Smith was called, and examined with reference to his marriage with Mrs. Smitt . He said that he was not married, and that the subject was at this time pending before another tribunal, whei e the whole question would he fully discussed. LORD CHIEF BARON—The matter is n )w before this court. and you are bound to state your knowledge of the fact- ;t) us. Witless—l must decline to answer any questions upon the subject. Lo3D CHIEF BARON—You must answer the question. Was there, or was there not, any marriage or ceremony of marriage between you and Mrs. Smith? — Witness (with great vehemence)—There was a sort of ceremony. LORD CHIEF BARON—Where?—Witness—ln Edin burgh. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A young man, a cab-driver, whose name and number it is not at present expedient to make public, was placed at the b,r, before Mr. Alderman Wilson, charged with stealing a great coat, the property of Mr J. S. Robin son, of Middleton-square, from the stable:l , of Mr. Grey, the postmaster, in Earl-street, Black friars. It appeared, from the evidence of the police and per sons in the employment of Mr. Gray, that the coat, which was fully identified, was stolen about three months agofrom the stables in Earl-street, when the prisoner's brother was at the time employed. Several sets of hat ness, and other portable property, disappeared about the same period, and i ne of the men meeting the prison , r, whose brother had fallen under suspicion, and recognising the coat as one of the articles stolen, gave information, which led to his apprehension. His defence was, that, six weeks ago, he purchased the coat from a Jew, at the cab stand in Gray's Inn-lane, for 245., and that he could refer for his character to re spectable persons who had known him for years. The officers applied for a remand for a week, to give them an opportunity of finding the brother. Mr. Alderman WILSON did not think that their sus picions against the brother were proofs against the pri soner, whose statement about the purchase might be true. However, as the latter had bought in the street from a person of whom he knew nothing, and whom he could nut produce, he must take' the consequences of his imprudence, if he really were guilty of nothing more. But he refused to remand him longer than Monday, advising him to have a search made by his friends for the Jew dealer of whom he said he had purchased. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. James Miller, dressed as a seamae, was charged with begging, and assaulting a licensed victualler. A. Mackie, 85, Dean-street, Soho, said the prisoner came into his bar on Thursday night begging. When requested to leave the prisoner persisted in staying and begging, till the complainant, after showing him the door, put him out by force, and in doing so was struck by the prisoner several times in the face. But the one door was no sooner shut on the prisoner when he entered at the other, and complainant this ti me pushed him out, s o th a t he fell down on the door-way. The prisoner, however, re entered, and as the policeman was remonstrating with him, he forced past the police man, and struck complainant again in the face. Horsford, of the Mendicity Society, said the man was a well-known vagabond and impostor. Mr. HARDWICK committed him to the House of Cor rection for one month. CLERKENWELL. Robert Cross was placed at the bar before Mr. Combo on the charge of stealing a four-gallon copper measure, the property of Messrs. Charles Tanqueray and Co., distillers, of Vine-street, Bloomsbury. It agpeared that a constable of the detective force, named Haydon, met the prisoner running along Skin ner-street, Clerkenwell, with the measure in his hand, and followed by two other persons, who were well known as bad characters. He immediately gave chase, and upon taking the prisoner into custody he told tha old tale of having been employed to carry it. Three of Messrs. Tanqueray's waggons were standing opposite to a public-house in Skinner-street, and during the tempo rary absence of the drivers in the house, the ptisout r managed to extract the vessel from a large basket, in which it was placed in the waggon. The prisoner, when asked for his defence, repeated the story of having been employed by another to carry it ; and was fully committed for trial. Henr,' Venables, a young man, in the employment of Mr. H. Dunningham grocer, of No. 9, Seymour street, Euston -square, was Charged with stealing a basket and a quantity of tea, the property of his master, and also with having received various moneys on his account, which he had applied to his own use. The prosecutor stated that a quantity of tea having been exchanged by order of a customer, the prisoner approp r i a t e d t h at w hi c h h a d b een sent back to his own LORD CHIEF BARON What part pf Edinburgh ? Witness—l am sure I cannot tell. LORD CHIEF BARON—When did it take place ? Wit ness—lt was about seven years ago. LORD CHIEF BARON---s,:' ho was present at the time ? Witness—Nobody, as I know of. LORD CHIEF BARON —Was anybody present besides you and Mr. Smith? Witness—There was another person present, but I don't know her; and there was, I believe, another person. LORD CHIEF BARON—What was the nature of the ceremony? Witness—lt was a ceremony which I did not consider as a marriage. LORD CHIEF BARON—WLat was said or done? Wit ness—l recollect very little about the affair. LORD CHIEF BARON—You must state to the jury what took place. Witness—Why, we agreed to live together, that is all. LORD CHIEF BARON—You agreed to live together as man and wife ? Witness —Yes. LORD CHIEF BARON—Then that is a legal marriage in Edinburgh. It is, in my opinion, clear that the whole affair is a juggle between the parties. I suppose, Mr. Martin, you will not persevere any longer in your case? Mr. MARTIN—No, my Lord. The LORD CHIEF BARON then directed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. LAMB V. LAMBERT. -LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COX MITTEEMEN. This was an action brought_ to recover the sum of 27/. 65. for advertisements inserted in the Sunday Times newspaper. The defendant was a member of the provisional com mittee of the Jamaica Southern, Eastern, and Northern Railway. Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hum frey for the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff witnesses were called, who proved the consent of the defendant to become a pro visional committeeman, also the attendance of the defen dant upon numerous occasions at the various meetings of the committee, when the order was given to the secretary to advertise the company. Evidence was also given of the order from the secretary to Mr. Dixon, an adver tising agent, to insert advertisements in the Sunday Times. Mr. Aguillar, the secretary of the company, was called and said, that the scheme of the company originated with him, and that he demanded the sum of 15,00/ for the company, on the ground that the company was his own. The sum of 15,0001, was a very small one to get fur the sale of a company. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the amount claimed. LIABILITY OF RAILWAY PROMOTERS.—DOUGLAS V. SMITH. In this case Mr. Humphrey appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Martin for the defendant. The action was brought by Jane Douglas, a laun dress, who was employed by a person of the name of Campbell, as housekeeper, to take care of a house in Mansion-house:place, where the defendant and others carried on business in connexion with a railway pro jected by the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not liable, or if so, that he was only Jointly liable with three others. It appeared that in consequence of a representation made to the defendant by Campbell and two others, he entered into an arrangement, by which they jointly and severally agreed to bear the ex penses attendant upon the projection of the Tours and Honfleur Railway, and the plaintiff was engaged to at :end to the office by Mr. Campbell, whose laundress she then was, and still is. She had applied to Campbell for the payment of her wages, and he had referred her to' the defendant. use. He (Dunninghamilaad sincoasc --- aWained that the prisoner had received money from various customers for which he had failed to account.

A verdict was accordingly returned for the plaintiff-- Damages 17/ 2s.

TUE FLORES EXPEDITION.—The largest portion of the men who are on board the Glenelg, or belonging to her, were paupers, who have received two years' allowance money from the various parishes throughout London and suburbs, for the purpose of emigrating, the parishes thinking it a good opportunity of getting rid of their able-bodied poor by such means ; and the serious question arises, in case of the confiscation of the vessel, what is to be the fate of these unfortunate people, as it is supposed the parishes will not consent to receive them into the union houses again, but will leave them to starve, beg, or steal through the country.—Post. COURT-MARTIAL. —HONOURABLE ACQUITTAL OF LIEUTENANT SMITH, ROYAL ARTILLERY.--This gallant officer (2d),' Ist battalion Royal Artillery (recently em barked for Bermuda), who was tried by a general court martial in Dublin garrison, Major-General Monro pro secutor, for conduct unbecoming the character, &c., ill dishonouring a bill for 50/., given to a Jew bill dis counter named Gorer, has, after a most patient investi gation, been most honourably acquitted of the charge preferred against bun. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 11. WOODS V. HARDING.-THE LEICESTER AND SHREWSBURY DIRECT RAILWAY. This was an action brought by the proprietor of the Wolverhampton Chronicle to recover from the defendant, Mr. William Harding, a provisional director of the Leicester and Shrewsbury Direct Railway Company, the sum of 271., for the insertion of the company's prospectus in the newspaper. The plaintiff selected the defendant from whom to recover the amount, he being a gentle man well known, a solicitor, residing in the Potteries, Staffordshire, and the coroner of the county. Mr. MARSHAM opened the case, stating that this ac tion differed from many others in which provisional di rectors had been called to account, as he should prove that the defendant had taken an active part in the bu siness of the company. Mr. Turner, one of the solicitors of the company, proved that the defendant had requested his name to be placed in the list of provisional directors. The pros- PPettici, immediately afterwards published, contained the defendant's name. It appeared in all the prospectuses Published. It was arranged at the time the defendant THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 1846 DEATH OF ADMIRAL LORD AMELIUS BEAU CLERK, G.C.B.

SUSPECTED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. At a late hour on Wednesday evening Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at the Three Tuns, Redcross-steet, Bar bican, on the bod 3 of Eleanor Elisabeth Wright, aged 34 years, who died on the 3d of November last, and was buried in New Bunhill-ground, Golden-lane, and whose body was exhumed by order of the coroner, in consequence of information that deceased had been brutally ill-treated and poisoned by her husband. Ann Collett.of No. 10, Elliott's-court, Old Bailey, de posed that she was sister to the deceased, who, with her husband, a map mounter, resided at No. 11, in the same court. They had been married above seventeen years. The deceased had been ailing for the last nine months, from consumption. About twelve months since the hus band formed an improper intimacy with a married wo man named Tisdall, since which he had been in the habit of cruelly beating deceased. On one occasion, about two months since, he seised a stone pitcher and beat her about the head, until she fainted from loss of blood. On Sunday, Nov. 1, witness was sent for, in consequence of the husband ill-using the deceased. She had been confined to her bed for three months previous. Witness found the husband using bad language towards her. Deceased was crying; he took up a chair and threat ened to throw it at her head. Deceased whispered to witness to remove the knives and forks from the table, lest he should stab her; be had done so on a former occasion, and there was the scar on one of her arms; there was also a scar on her nose. He continued to abuse her, and rushing to the bed, he seized her pocket from under the pillow, and shook out the money it con tained upon the floor. Deceased told witness that her husband had that day struck her upon the head and chest. In witness's opinion she was then dying. She told witness, that in case she died, to see that her body was opened. On Monday she got worse, and Dr. Lynch, of Farringdon-street, was sent for, echo imtne diately on seeing her pronounced her ease to be hope less. The husband was addicted to drink. Several other witnesses gave evidence as to the habits of the husband in beating the deceased, and that the daughter had told them her father had poisoned her motner. Ann Wright,..the daughter. a girl of fifteen, was ex amined. She positively swore that her father was not in the habit of ill-using her mother; and added, that "She wished she might drop down dead if there was any truth in what the witnesses asserted that she had said." The ConoNEn. said he did not believe a word she had said, and she had prevaricated so grossly that he thought he ought to commit her to Newgate for perjury. The inquiry was adjourned to have analysation of the contents of deceased's stomach. THE MURDER AT HITCHEN HERTFORD, THURSDAY NIGHT.—An inquiry which was opened on Thursday last by Mr. Osbaldiston, one of the coroners of the county, was concluded to-day at Hitchen, on the body of George Tomlin, aged 16, in the employ of Lord Deere, who died on Tuesday, the 2d instant, from the effects of a gun-shot wound, fired by a youth of the name of James Lawrence, under circum stances showing apparent deliberation. His deposition, taken before his death, was as fol lows :—I work for Lord Deere on the Hoo Farm, in the parish of Paul Warden. On Suoday last, between two and three o'clock, I went from Lord Dacre's farm-yard into the timber-yard, which is close by, where I saw James Lawrence. He had a gun under his arm, and I supposed he was bird-keeping. He told me he had shot a hedge sparrow, and had broken its leg, and that it was somewhere in the hedge. We looked for the spar row, but could not find it. We then walked a few yards, when I told him I must go and and attend to the pigs. He said, " Tben shoot you," and pointed the gun at me. I ran behind a tree, and he came peeping round it, poking the g u n , an d then bolted to the other side of the tree, and he again came after me, pointing the muzzle of the gun at my forehead. I then ran away, but directly I did so he shot me in the back. I did not see what became of Lawrence, I believe he ran away, but I don't know exactly, I was so frightened. It further appeared that on Lawrence being appre hended (who, it should be observed, before the death of deceased, bad been committed by the magistrates to Hertford gaol on a charge of shooting with an intent to do grievous bodily harm) he admitted that his gun had shot the deceased, but that it had gone off accidentally by his coat getting entangled with the trigger. He had never any against him ; they were always on the best of terms, and the reason he poked the gun at him was in " fun." The evidence of the medical gentleman having been taken, proving the wounds to be the cause of death, The CORONER addressed the jury on the melancholy circumstance of the case, and the impropriety of entrust ing fire-arms to youths of the description of Lawrence, who was only 15 years of age. The jury retired, and in a few minutes returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Lawrence."

MARKET N 6.-( Y.ESTERDAY CORN-EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present week have been good, yet the show of samples of that article-hero was by no means extensive. On the whole the trade was firm, at fully Monday's quotations. There was a good deal of inferior free Foreign Wheat sold for Irish ac count, at rather more money. In Corn under lock nest to nothing was doing. The Barley trade was steady, yet the maltsters purchased with great caution. Although the sup ply of Malt was not large, the trade was somewhat inactive, at previous currencies. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were mostly dispozed of at unaltered quotations. ARRIVALS. Wheat.

The supply of beasts on sale here was, the time of year considered, very limited, and of inferior quality. Prime Scots, &c., moved off steadily, at fully Monday's quotations; but all other kinds 'hung heavily on hand. There were in he market 93 Beasts, 650 Sheep, and 26 Calves from abroad. Owing to the favourable change in the weather, a fall average amount of business was transacted in Sheep, at full prices. Prime small Calves moved off firmly; other kinds of Veal slowly, at late rates. The Pork trade was firm, but we can notice no improvement in value.

The sale for bass of the present year's growth has been very steady since our last report, at full prices, which are now nearly on a par with those paid fur pockets, thereby proving that the produce this year is extremely even as to quality.

SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased with much caution for all purposes, although there were sellers at a further reduction in prices.

For Leeward Island the market has presented a quiet 'appear ance, and prices have given way id per gallon. East India has been sparingly dealt in, and there is more desire to sell Calcutta. Demarara of strong quality has been in brisker demand, but prices cannot he quoted higher. Brandy is not to be obtained upon lower terms, but shippers and the home trade have operated with caution.
