Henon, the Opposition candidate en the democratic interest, though officially an nounced, has not really taken place. He was said to have been elected for the second electoral district of tie Rhone (Lyons). He has not had, however, the required majority, as on the definitive counting of the votes there was found a deficiency of ninety eight. At Brest and Nantes also the majority was only relative. The result is, that, on the 14th inst., second elections will be held in the fourth electoral district of Paris, at Lyons, Lille, Arras, Nantes, Brest, Rennes, Chateau-Gouthier (doyenne), and Dinan (Cotes-du-Nord). Intelligence has been received of the nomination of M. Bodin at Trevoux (Ain), and of M. Delamarre at Gueret (Creuse)— both Government candidates. In the Saone-et-Loire, which previously sent 12 representatives of the Mountain to the National Assembly—six of whom were condemned at the High Court of Versailles, and eight driven into exile after the coup (Fetal of the 2d December—the Government has succeeded in 6e curing the return of its four proteges, who obtained 80,000 votes against 3,000 given to their adversaries. The Council of State, presided over by the Presi dent of the Republic, 7.'11 meet some days before the opening of the Chambers on the 29th, to examine the projects of law previous to their coming before the Deputies. EXTRAORDINARY AND DETERMINED SUICIDE.—" THE GAMBLER'S FATE." On Saturday night an inquest was held by Mr. W. Payne, at the Barley Mow, Upper Thames-street, on the body of William Mimmack, aged 59, who committed suicide on Saturday morning last, under rathcr extra ordinary circumstances, at a coffee-house in Upper Thames-street, at which place he engaged a lodging on Friday night. The jury having been sworn proceeded to view the body, and it appeared that the deceased had effected strangulation by partly suspending himself by a cord from the post of a French bedstead that was little more than three feet from the floor. On their return the fol lowing evidence was taken: — Mr. Henry Griffiths said that he was a coffee-house keeper, and lived at 209, Upper Thames -street. About seven o'clock on the evening of Friday, a man whom he had never seen before came into the house, and inquired if he could be accommodated with a bed for the night? He was answered in the affirmative, and at about a quarter-past seven he was at his re quest shown to his room, and nothing was heard of him until ten o'clock on Saturday morning, when a lodger in the adjoining room had looked through a pane of glass in the door of the room occupied by the deceased, and then saw him lying on the side of the bed. He came down stairs to the shop, and told witness that he thought there was something wrong up-stairs, and they went back to the room together. They then found the deceased hanging by a rope round his neck tied to the post of the bestead. He was lying flat on his belly, and his head was not suspended more than from seven to eight inches from the ground. Witness went up to him and put his hand on his chest, which he fancied was still warm. He cat the cord and let him down, and sent for a doctor, who, on his arrival, declared that life was extinct, and had been so for some time. When he engaged the bed he observed nothing peculiar in his manner. The bed appeared to have been lain on, bat not inside. At about three o'clock on Friday afternoon a person called at the house, and inquired if any person, having the appearance of a butcher, had been there writing a letter, as a letter, posted at Knight Rider street, had been received by his wife, in which it was said that when it came to hand he should be no more. Before the deceased went to bed witness's wife suggested to him as to whether he (the deceased) was the butcher. Ho accordingly went and looked at him while he was reading the paper, and then remarked to his wife that he thought he looked more like an engineer than a butcher, and took no further notice of him. By a juror—He must have brought the cord into the house with him, as he did not see it till he saw it round his neck. He did not appear in liquor. He had tied up his coat, shoes, &c., in a bundle, and had described the exact amount of money that would be found about him. The letter being posted in Knight Rider-street, his friends, when they got it, concluded he must be some where near to that place. Mr. W. Gardener, who occupied the next room, cor roborated this evidence, and added that, although fre quently awake during the night, he never heard any groan or struggle in the adjoining room. The door was kept shut by a chair being placed against it. William Joshua Mimmack said that he lived at No. 12, Derby-street, Gray's Inn-road. The deceased was his father. Ho left home at six o'clock on Friday morn ing, to 20 to his occupation in Newgate-market, and heard no more of him until about halt-past two o'clock in the afternoon, when a letter was received from him, which stated that in consequence of his great misfortune through investing his money in horse-racing, he had come to the determination of making away with him self. This letter was posted in Knight Rider-street, and although every inquiry had been made nothing had been ascertained until Saturday, when they were made ac quainted with his end through the means of a book that had been found in his possession. He had lately been much depressed in spirits through misfortunes in losing largo sums of money in his business, as he understood. A juryman remarked that the deceased's mind might have been affected thereby. The CORONER said he had no doubt of it, from certain remarks that were written in different leaves of the book that had been found in his possession. The first was :•—• " Thames -street, Six o'clock. " I now fly in the face of my friend and Maker. Horse racing has killed me. It would be a good thing if i was made felony to bet on any of them." Another was dated— " March 5, 1852. yours has b een th e same. "Another G o d, s miserable o n d e a . y , aanm d a poor wretch. This punishment I deserve." The last was a ecrap of paper, on which was written the following:— " My poor brothers appear so h appy, and I am so mi serable, that I must join them. The little money is left in my bureau at home, if I have any. The Lord have mercy on me. It is a rash act. Everything is against me—even the elements." After hearing these statements, he (the Coroner) thought the jury would have no doubt that the mind of the deceased was affected. It was incidentally mentioned that two brothers of the deceased had committed suicide. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of " Temporary Insanity." REMARKS ON THE PROPOSED INCREASE OF ATTORNEYS' FEES IN THE COUNTY COURTS. TO LORD BROUGHAM AND VAUX. THE LEVANT MAIL By the Levant Mail we have received Constan tinople journals to the 14th, and Athens to the 17th ult. The former announce that the Marquis de Lava lette, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary of France, had waited on the Sultan, with all his legation, to present the notification of the re election of Louis Napoleon to the Presidency of the Republic, with increased powers. He was received with some pomp, and was cenducted to the Sultan's presence by Aali Pacha, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Addressing the Sultan, he stated that Louis Napo leon had, by the act of the 2d December, prevented the outbreak of anarchical projects which would have had disastrous effect on other states ; that, in gratitude to him, the nation had anew and unani mously confided to him the direction of its destinies ; that he would fulfil the duties thereby imposed on him by conc ili a ti ng th e di gn ity of a strong and re strecd government, end the interests and grandeur of Republic, with the rights of other powers—the only means of consolidating the peace and progress of Europe, and of cementing more and more the friendly relations which unite the different Governments for the Common prosperity of nations. The ambassador con cluded by passin g an eulogium on Turkey and its glorious Sovereign,- stY and assured the Sultan that France felt ardent sympathy for both. The Sultan thanked the representative'of Irance for the expression of his spoke in sentiments, flattering term s o f th e President and his of the Repub lic acts, and and assured the Minister that be was fully aware ponce, and of maintal • the happy effects of general maintaining a go o d i unuerstanding be tween the two Governments, would neglect no occasion of promoting them: and Whilst the Marquis de Lavalette was on his way have to the had Palfatal ace a consequences—then accident eccurredhorseof which might -, M de C a d a lvine, director of the Fr ench Postoffi e c took baud, fright near the Gr e a t Field of the and _ threw that gentleman with great violence to the ground.

The physician of th e Embassy, who happened to be present when the ac cident occurred, paid him every attention, and, though his state at first had been considered very dangerous, it was believed that he w ould recover. Extraordinary events had occurred in the isle of Cassos. The chief of one of the principal families, named Hagi Manoli Maliaraki, had, for some rea sons not known, excited the bitter animosity of a portion of the islanders, and some of them mur dred him at Alexandria, to which place he had gone on business. When his wife, daughter, sisters, and mother-in-law heard of this, they seized burning torches, and with cries of rage and horrible threats set fire to the houses of the suspected assassins. Some houses were burned down, and they also burned down a church, in which there was a con siderable sum belonging, as they supposed, to one of the murderers. On this, the islanders took arms, some ranging themselves on the side of the women, others on that of their adversaries; and numerous sanguinary engagements took place. The Primate of Casson, Girorgio Cicco, had, to escape the fury of the women's parti s ans, been obliged to fly from the I ,!_ i a_nd• In addition to this, some acts of piracy had `7l,t, e committed by the islanders. -L !

TILE WEST OF IRELAND LAND IN VESTMENT COMPANY. An association • has recently been incorporated by Royal charter under the above title, which, if properly worked, will be very likely to confer important benefits upon tho country selected as the field of its labours. The object of the directors is to purchase estates in the province of Connaught, and having reclaimed and im proved them, to let or sell the land in conveniently small holdings, of not less than fifty acres, to persons tho• roughly acquainted with agriculture, and possessing capital to work the farms effectively. Connaught has been chosen for several reasons; principally on account of its peculiar adaptability for the purposes of the asso ciation, and because of the uniformly peaceable, tract able, and loyal chartacer of its inhabitants. The com pany does not, however, purpose merely to confine itself to the purchase of land, but intends also to encourage the formation of commercial establishments, so as to create a market for agricultural produce within its own property; and it will further direct attention to the cul ture of those roots and plants which may be profitably employed in sowing the seeds of a system of manufac tures. For instance, the cultivation of sugar-beet, flax, and chicory, with other plants salted to the climate of the west of Ireland, will be carefully promoted. The points on which the directors rely for proof of the feasi bility of their plan are the present cheapness of land in Ire land; the ready means of transfer afforded by the Encum bered Estates Court; the natural advantages of the district they have selected as the scene of their purchases, greatly assisted by the recent improvements in the navigation of the River Shannon and the western lakes; the proba bility of the establishment of a steam communication between Galway and the United States; and the impor tant fact that of many projected companies of this na ture submitted for the approval of the Government, the present is the only one deemed worthy of incorporation. As a proof that the directors of the undertaking intend to carry on their work on sound principles, it may be remarked that a clause in the charter provides for the allocation of one-fourth of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," which is to be employed in thoroughly draining, improving, and rendering market able the estates purchased by the company. In prose cuting its object, the Investment Company will possess many advantages beyond the reach of private indi viduals; it will be uninfluenced by local sectarianism, either political or religious: it will have the command of an ample capital, and may therefore establish mar kets and even towns; it will be able to attract to Ire land English and Scotch farmers, whose industry and capital will give a powerful impetus to the cultivation of the soil; it may check emigration, and nearly extinguish poor -rates, by affording steady and remunerative em ployment to the labouring population; and, finally, it may be the means of conferring an inestimable benefit upon the empire generally by rendering fertile and valuable vast tracts of territory now lying waste and un preductive.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette, March 1.

(after recovering from the defendant his debt, with 155., the attorney's fee allowed by the County Courts Act), charged his client 221., and succeeded in compelling him to pay ill. 4s. t in consequence of a defect in the Act, which does not restrict the charges of attorneys as against their own clients for business done in county courts cases. The sum of 155., it was suggested by the attorney in this case, " was merely for advocacy in court. I have an independent claim for taking your instructions, examining witnesses, and other preliminary preparations out of court." It is most extraordinary that this case, which (from Lord Lyndhurst's account of it as reported) was one of deception as well as gross exaction, should have , been viewed in any other light than as a cogent proof of the necessity of correcting the oversight alluded to in the County Courts Act, by establishing a simple and moderate scale of attorneys' fees when recoverable from his own client. Lord Lyndhurst, however, seems to have regarded this case (in which an attorney, after getting pay ment of a fee from the defendant, demands from his own client, the plaintiff, four times the sum recovered, and forces him to pay double the amount of that sum) as a reason for repealing the simple and moderate scale of attorneys' fees allowed by the County Courts Act against the unsuccessful party, and of restoring in its stead the liability of the defendant to a ruinous amount of costs (chargeable by the plaintiff's attor ney), which rendered the old county courts, and still renders the superior courts, so destructive to the interests both of creditor and debtor in all cases of moderate amount. The prospect of being exposed to an indefinite and exorbitant amount of costs and to an immediate execution, had commonly the well , known effect of impelling the defendant in the old county courts to make away with his goods, and when he did not adopt that course the costs generally swallowed up the proceeds of the sale of those goods when taken in execution, and left nothing for the plaintiff. It was useless for the latter to remonstrate with his attorney, and to say that as a man of sense he never could have meant to give instructions for the action, except on the assumption that the whole or part of his debt would be repaid to him. The attorney had the law on his side, and could answer—" Your instructions to proceed fully entitle me to all the costs I have in curred. Possibly you never could hare meant to spend HZ. in recovering 51.; but my instructions were not restricted, and I have a right to full costs out of the goods of the defendant or out of your pocket." The case noticed by Lord Lyndhurst is precisely identical in its features with those which rendered the old county courts a public nuisance. As there was not in those courts, s o th e r e w ill not be in the modern county courts, any protection against the in sidious extortionlof low practitioners except by the in flexible maintenance of a simple and very moderate scale of fees. Lord Lyndhurst dwelt very much (in support of his view) on the extreme hardship that a plaintiff in the county court should have to pay for professional labour out of court, &c., without obtaining reimburse ment from the defendant. This hardship is a grievance common to all courts. It is perfectly familiar to us all that the successful suitor in the Courts of West minster is invariably obliged to pay extra costs be yond those he can re cove r from the opposite party. It is equally well known that (with the exception of a single letter) no costs are allowed in those courts for professional lab ou r pr ev iously to action brought, though Lord Lyndhurst dwells on this as a peculiar feature of county courts, in which, from the simple nature of most of the cases and of the procedure, the assistance of an attorney is not required either in or out of court in nineteen cases out of twenty; and of those few cases in which an attorney's services ar e useful, there is not one in ten in which bis assistance can be materially required previously to court day. The suggestions of Lord Lyndhurst m us t stan d or fall with the general principle of observing a fixed scale of costs on the one hand, or on the other hand of rejecting (for the sake of a few exceptional cases) that principle now adhered to in all courts. In the superior courts the prescribed scale of costs allowed on taxation have been progressively reduced of late years, and instances of hardship to the successful party and his attorney, from the inadequacy of the taxed costs in particular cases, to pay for the labour involved are common. Such cases (as regards the county courts) are confessedly of rare occurrence, and when they are brought forward, I believe they will be ge nerally found to be tru roped up or imaginary. In all suits of difficulty involving sums above 101. or 151. that arise in the county courts, the client is generally very willing to pay out of his own pocket (a fee in addition to 'that which can be recovered by his opponent), and be can afford to do so, because, owing to the light amount of the court fees, the suc cessful party almost invariably obtains payment of all other expenses, so that his " extra" costs are confined to this " gratuitous" fee. The amovint paid in these voluntary fees in the county courts throughout the country is immense ; and while a fixed scale of costs has no effect in pre venting theE,e donations, it is indispensable as an " ultima mho," as a check on knavish practitioners, especially in courts where the suitors are generally men of a humble class, who cannot be protected from imposition except by the most plain, simple, and intel ligible regulations as to fees. If in the county courts the old system of costs be restored, I believe it will prove injurious and not beneficial to the attorneys ; for it will deter suitors from resorting to them. They will prefer 'to conduct their own cases (even when dif ficult) to running the risk of being saddled (as in the case mentioned by Lord Lyndhurst) with costs (in the event of su ccess !) equa l t o d ou bl e th e amount o f their debts, or to the risk of imposing similar costs on the defendant to the destruction of his means of pay ment. I beg to express 'my opinion that the scale of at torney's fees in those courts between attorney and client should be the same as those allowed between party and !party. Possibly, in cases above 101. they might be t nade a little higher, though, for the reasons above stated, I think that any such difference in the two scales of allowance would, in practice, be nuga tory ; for such fees, like those of barristers, will be governed :Dy private management and not by law. It is difficult to conceive how, in any view of the circumstances, a case for the recovery of a shop debt of 51. coul I have occupied the time of an attorney, so as to furni iih the least pretence for a charge of 22/., or even of 111. 4s. There is another consideration which has been en tirely overlooked. The remuneration paid by suitors in the Colxnty Courts would be more liberal were those courts to receive their proper share of aid from the public Treasury, instead of being supported en tirely by fe es, for although the Government is answer ' able fur th e salaries of the Judges, the courts are still self-supporting, as the fees are made to pay all the expense 3 of the system. In previous publications I have frequiently drawn attention to this gross in justice; it is most monstrous that the cost of sup porting the ii.lourt of Queen's Beneb, &c., should be paid out of the public Treasury, while the county courts, the t 3 ibunals of the poorer classes, should be maintained by the suitors themselves. The present fees (though a light burden compared to the legal expenses in uther jurisdictions) should be reduced by affording to the county courts the same assistance that is given to other tribunals. The direct benefit which would. thus be conferred on the suitor would be accompanied by a corresponding advantage to the professional ,practitioner. A plaintiff who has to ad vance court fees in each case, or a defendant who is liable (in the event of a defeat) to pay those fees in addition to the debt claimed, is less inclined on that account to incur the expense of employing a profes sional advocate, or to pay him liberally if he seeks his services. I much regret to observe the tendency in the Le gislature to break down the fundamental principles upon ;which the benefits of county courts depend. Exceptional oises of hardship will spring from all general rules, however necessary for the public good. But such ruLes are indispensable as a protection against extorti c n on the part of low practitioners, and respectable attorneys can commonly trust to the honour and liberality of their clients for an increase, when justly recruired, of their remuneration above the strict legal stam lard. In conclusion I must expressly dissent altogether from the assumpltion that the strict fee is an inade quate one generally speaking. In cases of a simple nature the allow; nce of fifteen shillings seems to me to be an ample oLne, when it is borne in mind that an i aa ra cht m io e u n s se number' of such cases (commonly upwards labourand of a hundred) ar a usually disposed of in a single day in be the ear n m e o:e eit p h o ee p r u a l 4 o binly u e s county courts districts, and that an attorney emp Loyed in a small proportion of these attorney.—..i h would (r( sceiving that fee in each case) obtain Feb. 23, 1 852. could ordinarily handsome r t e h mu;aeration, at less . expense of time and n the bar or by an av'e the honour to be your Lordship's a r m em em un b e e r r at o io f obedient servant, A JUDG, , OF VIE COUNTY COURTS.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT. —Nottingham, March 5. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE and a Common Jury.) NICHOLSON V. HODGSON. This was an action upon an architect's bill. The defendant paid into court 31. 16s. 6d., and as to the remainder of the claim, pleaded—first, that he did not make the contract ; and, secondly, payment. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Haynes appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Brewer for the defendant. The plaintiff is an architect at Lincoln, and the de fendant was in 1845, and for several subsequent y ears , One of the c h urc h wa rd e ns of Worksop,in the county, as well as a member of a committee formed in the parish for carrying out the project of restoring the old abbey church. This is a very beautiful structure in the tran sition style, between the Norman and early English, which had fallen into very great decay, and the services for which the plaintiff now sought to recover were ren dered in superintending as architects the restoration of that church. He, in common with other architects had, in 1845, sent in plans and an estimate, and for the work then required to be done he had made an offer to the committee to do it for 1501., with which offer n o dis satisfaction was made. Mr. Cottingham, of London, and another architect, were afterwards called in ; an d s the plaintiff was put into c mmunication with them. Various alterations were adopted by , the committee f rom time to time, so that the work lege a from 1846 to 1849, and the cost grew to a surnof about 4,6491. Th e roo f had been coloured blue, but this being considered Popish, and one of the committee having declared that he could not pray under a blue ceiling, a dark oak stained roof was substituted. This was only one of the many altera tions and additions by which . the work was v ar i e d a f ter the plaintiff had ma de his original offer. The plaintiff charged 5 per cent. upon the outlay, and some extras. On the part of the defendant, it was admitted that the principal charges were reasonable, if the plaintiff was not bound by his offer of 1501. The Learned JunGE thought he was not; and ulti mately, by consent, a verdict was found for the plaintiff —Damages, 2501. DOE DEM. CHAMPION V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Hayes appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Mellor, Q.C., and Sir E. Wilmot, for the defendant. This was a❑ action of ejectment brought to recover a house and small bit of land adjoining a bridge which carries the road from Nottingham to Blyth across the Chesterfield Canal. That canal was constructed under an Act of Parliament about eighty years ago, and, at the place in question, went across the estate of a Mr. Rogors, from whom Mr. Champion derived hie title. It appeared that the piece of land in question was a sand bulk, which eloped from the occupation road down to the towing-path of the canal, and a person, acting under the direction of the defendants, who had purchased the canal, had recently built a house upon that bank, close against the bridge. Evidence of sots of ownership was given on both sides, but the defendants could not prove any conveyance of the land to the canal company. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. v a . n u e l n id tr z y o o N f D s . even causes, one of l w li h e ic h e a i u s s a e s i p is e t c l i l c al 3 l n . w j t u:r i zm y ns s cause. arh (Before Mr. Justice MATJLE and a Special Jury.) This was an action to recover damages for the wrong ful dismissal of the plaintiff, who had been employed by the defendant as a land steward, and also a reasonable compensation for his services before the dismissal. The defendant had paid into co ur t 6001.—viz., 1001. as da mages for his dismissal without notice, and 500/, for his services. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Miller, and Mr. Bit tleston, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Hayes, for the defendant. The plaintiff began life as a farmer in Norfolk; but had since been in business as a land agent, auctioneer, and valuer, and had been in the service of Lord Hastings and the Marquis of Cholmondeley as farm bailiff or steward. The defendant is a Norfolk squire of large property, who had known the plaintiff for fifteen or six teen years. In September, 1849, upon the death of the late Mr. Musters, of Colwick Hall, in this county, the large estates of that gentleman, about 18,000 acres in extent, producing a rental of about 15,0001. a year, de volved upon Captain Hammond, the defendant's brother, as trustee for the heir; bat as Captain Hammond was then in South America, the defendant undertook the management of the property on behalf of the trustee. On the very day of the funeral of Mr. Musters the plaintiff arrived at Colwick, having been desired by the defendant to coma out of Norfolk immediately; and he was then pointed out b y t h e d e f en dant to the solicitor for the trustee as a person w h om the defen dant considered well fit te d to ta k e t h e superinten dence and management of the property. From that time until the following September the plaintiff continued without interruption to discharge the duties of his office, which occupied his whole time. He culti vated the land kept in hand, planned alterations in farm buildings, made valuation s , received the rents, and kept all the accounts of tho estat e s. In September, 1850, the defendant sent for the plaintiff to go to him in Norfolk; and en that occasion ga ve hi m i ns t ruc tions respecting the estate, though from a letter which he had previously received he supposed that his engagement was then to be terminated. When he found that he was to continue in the service he said that he should expect the engage ment to bo of a permanent character, as otherwise he would not take his family into Nottinghamshire. He then returned and brought his whole family with him, and resided with them in two cottages on the estate. Captain Hammond shortly afterwards arrived from South America, and the defendant turned over to him the ma nagement of the property. No dissatisfaction was ex pressed with the plaintiff's services; but on the 16th of June, 1851, the plaintiff was suddenly told that they would not be further required. Mr. Robert Ham mond, another brother, had been appointed receiver under the Court of Chancery, and he had appointed a Mr. Basilico as his agent. Mr. Basilico was at once introduced to the tenants as plaintiff's successor; and upon plaintiff writing a letter, in which he com plained of thi s " uncouth treatmen t," th e d e f endant wrote a reply, ch a r g i ng him with conceit, incapacity, indolence, and untruthfulness. The plaintiff in his letter said " I have not known what my salary was to be," and he an ao u l d ha stated in the w i tness-box that no agreement as to his salary had ev er b een come to; b ut the defendant, in a postscript to the l etter a b ovement i one d , wrote the words, "Your salary,2oo/. ; " and in the witness-box stated th a t there twashat that understanding hth a a betweenraoun amount them min October. The 1849, salary. plaintiff proved by several witnesses that the services which he performed were, in fact, worth at least 400/. a year, and in his cash-book delivered to the trustee in September, 1850, a blank was left against the item of plaintiffs salary. Lord Hastings was examined as a witness on tne part of the defendant to prove a conversa tion in which h© had said to the plaintiff " I understand you are to h ave 2001. a year;" but his Lordship a , i ad mitted that i n the same conversation t h e plat t. had asserted th at there was no agreemen t ; and he he e had expressed a hi g h opinion of the pla i nt iff, whom n and recommended to L ord Le i cester an d other nohlom: untof gentlemen. Th e so l e ques ti o n was as to the amount annual salary t o which the plaintiff w as entitled i t being agreed betw een the part i es that he was entitled to be paid for tw o years ' serv i ces , and half-a-year's salary more instead of half-a-year's notice. Intimaiely the jury g ave a verdict for the plaintiff— Dama g es 5001 . beyond be a mount paid into court. wEnsTER v. me s. This was an act i on of lib e l, to which thedefendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Maca u l a y, ca Mr. Sergeant Miller, and Mr. O'Brien appeared f or the plaintiff, • Mr. Humfrey, Q . O •t and Mr. Hayes for the defendant. The Plaintiff its p, town coptilleillOr ill the corporation of CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON .) John Wailes was indicted for the manslaughter of Nicholas Wren Codling, at Lanchester, on the 9th of February last. Mr. Otter and Mr. Stack prosecuted, and Mr. ()Ter end defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a nephew of a man named Teesdale, the landlord of a public-house called the Jolly Butcher, at Redwell-hill. Teasdal.3 be came insolvent last year, and his assignees sold the pre mises to the deceased. Notice to quit having been served on Teesdale, the deceased, on the Ist of Fe bruary, went to take possession of the premises he had bought, but was refused admission. He again went on the 9th, accompanied by Mr. Brewer, of Newcastlt,, his solicitor, and six men, to obtain forcible possession, if necessary. He was again refused admission. Swale of the party then went to the back door and some to tho front, demanding possession. The prisoner then came to a window with a gun, Teesdale having a •pistol. At that time one of the deceased's men was tempting to break in the door with an axe, and the prisoner threatened to shoot him. The deceased then handed a pistol to one of hi s men , w hi le an othi , r, named Stewart, still endeavoured to batter in the door. Teesdale fired his pistol through the door,. but it was beaten in, and the attacki ng party rushed into the passage. The prisoner stood to oppose them, and, fired his gun at them as they ad vance d , and wounded the de cJased so severely in the legs that he died a feel days after. It was contended for the prisoner that he was je stifiPd in firing his gun as he had done in defence of hie house and a dictum of ' Lord Hale's was relied on, Unit "in defence of a mans house the owner or his fami ty may kill a trespasser who would forcibly dispossess him of it, in the same manner as he might by law kill, in self-de fence, a man who attacked hi m personally, •ar;tth this distinction, that in defending his house he need not re treat, as in other cases de defend en d o, for that VI ould be giving up his house to his adversary" (Hale, 485 i, 486). His LORDSHIP, after consulting Mr. Justice Ur esawell, stated his opinion to be that no man to prevent the com mission of a misdemeanor had a ri g h t to k i ll smother, though he had a right to offer resistance ; and, ill f neces sary, to kill, to prevent the commission of a felor iy when all other means of prevention had failed. Mr. OVEREND said under this ruling of his lordship he could not further contest the case, and he shciuld ad vise the prisoner to withdraw his plea of not guti.lty. The prisoner was then sentenced to be impri a oned for six calander months. James Youens was indicted for having at S h ieldi, in tho month of November last, committed wilful and cor rupt perjury. 'The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Their Lordships concluded these assizes in Vat) course of the day, and will proceed to York to-morrow to open the commission. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March: 6. (Before )Sir. Commissioner GourawaN.) IN RE JOSEPH HALL. The bankrupt, an hotel and tavern keope r., of the White Horse, at Brighton, applied for his ct u.tificate. The balance-sheet extended over a period of tv to years and a half, and showed debts amounting to 3,4291.; assets in good debts, 51/.; property, 2,2161. The profits had been 1,1461.; trade expenses, 1,2331.; dome stic and personal ditto, 4001.; deficiency at the commence mont of the account, 3031. Ilia HONOUR said that this was clearly the ca se of a man beginning with nothing and ending intro h worse than he began. Under his failure as a wine rill 3rchant, he had paid 3s. or 4s. in the pours d, and under his second 14s. in the pound. These failures should have made him cautious in age tin em barking in trade; but, nevertheless, he had coat tmenced with a deficiency of 3001., being, however, suppt nted by others. The third experiment could only en.t lin ono way; net profits there were none, and the exp anditure had been very excessive. There would be se a rcely a farthing to pay anybody, the stock not having: fetched what was expected. It had been stated that tin e trade debts were small, but the creditors, probably tr a desmen of a humble class, were numerous, and some f them might be compell e d, th roug h the default of men such as the bankrupt, to arrange their own affairs. There had been no attempt at fraudulent preference, and the 'absence of opposition by th e cre di tors was a f avou r a ble 'dream_ stance. If he had consulted his books, which h lid been well kept, he must have felt that at a much earlier , peri,o s d _ he ought to have stopped.

The P .o tier having made two d ec l arat i ons in the a ffi davit ortLe of the Court of Chancery, to the effect that he had not m ortgaged nor in any way encumbered a reve r sionary interest to which he was entitled, also that he had not been security for any one, and that his stock in trade far exceeded any liabilities of a pecuniary de scription, he, Mr. Price, let him have at various times, sums of money, amounting in the aggregate to 518/. In the month of November last, however, the prisoner be came a bankrupt, and, from the proceedings which took place in the Bankruptcy Court, it was discovered that lie had disposed of the whole of his reversionary interest in 4,000/., and also got rid of a legacy of 500/. before his transaction with the prosecutor, and therefore that both his declarations before the clerk in Chancery wer e grossly false. Mr, NORTON thought that a su ffi c i ent pr i ma fac ie CREO , had been established against th e pr i soner to reman im a , him, but he had no objection t o accept bail for b two sureties in 200/. each, and hi mse lf i n 4001. , The required sureties were g i ven , an d the pr ison er I liberated.

Mr. Streeten conducted the prosecution; and Mr. Hud dlestone, at the request of the Learned Judge, under tood the d e f ence. His LORDSHIP left to them the two questions, whether the prisoner did attempt to administer a poison? and if so, whether with intent to murder? Verdict —Not Guilty.

No attempt was made to justify the libel itself, but the de fendant had written a letter disclaiming any intention to injure the plaintiff, and stating that if he had known the nature of the placard, he would not have allowed it to be put up; and that he wo u ld d o hi s utmost to di scover who brought it to him; but it appeared upon his ex amination, that even after the placard had become the subject of talk, he had allowed p eop l e to see i t i n hi s shop, and had given it up to a customer, whose name or residence he stated that he did not know, but as to the real extent of his knowledge about that customer, his answers were somewhat contradictory. The Learned JUDGE commented upon the conduct of the defendant in helping to give circulation to this in jurious libel after he was aware of it ; and The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301. CROWN COURT.—jlefore Lord Chief Justice efERTIS) The grand jury have ignored the bill against William Dellow, aged 63, and Fanny Daykin, aged 20, who were charged with child murder, alleged to have been com mitted so long ago as August, 1850. The cases tried in this court have not presented any peculiar features; but the Learned Judge in one case of highway robbery, in which the prisoners set np an alibi, observed upon the frequency of that defence iu this county, which, he said, appeared to grow alibis; but only in one case, a charge of night•poaching, was the defence successful. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— Winchester, March 6. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) John TV atson, Benjamin Watson, and Eli Watson were indicted for assaulting Henry Oliver, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, on the 27th of De cember, at Moordown. Mr. B. Saunders conducted the case for the prosecu tion; and Mr. H. S. Cole that of the prisoners. Mr. Justice ERLE summed up, and the jury found the prisoners Guilty. Mr. COLE said, as the jury believed the statement made on the part of the prosecution, he should not pro ceed with the indictment preferred by the prisoners. Mr. Justice ERLE said he approved of the verdict the jury had given, and he slaould therefore sentence the prisoners to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 months, and they would then be liable to be indicted for perjury. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham, March .5. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and a Special Jury.) THE YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK RAILWAY CO:MI• PANY V. HILL AND OTHERS. In this case Mr. Knowles, Q.C., Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Price appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. %Veit son, Q.C., and Mr. Manisty for the defendants. The plaintiffs, it appeared, are the lessees of the Hartlepool Dock and Railway, and the defendants are the owners of a collier, called the Ceres. On the 20th of February, 1851, the Ceres, while at Hartlepool waiting her turn to go alon side the ballast crane erected at the north•ea st end of the quay, was moored to a small Norwegian vg s sel by two ropes. In the embankment which formed the quay sluices were made for the purpose of clearit ig the harbour of silt and sand, and through these sluic es the tide ran. Afterwards, to change her position, erne of these ropes was fastened to a post in the embani :- meat, and another to a buoy. The action of the war; or through the sluices threw all the strain on the rope fastened to the buoy; and the master, to prevent it breaking, loosened the rope, and all the strain was then thrown on the other rope, which snapped, and the v() s sel was driven with great force against a bridge and the embankment, doing 6001. worth of damage to t :he plaintiffs' works. It was contended that the ropes wo re insufficient, and that the accident was owing partly to this and partly to the want of hands on board to manal ;13 the vessel. The defendants contended that the breaking of tl ie rope was caused partly by the Norwegian vessel foulix the Ceres, that the hands on board were sufficient, at td that the chains of the defendant's bridge were not stror enough.. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for the whole amount claimed. PRICES OF SHARES UF-1 ": _From the.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 6.—Since the receipt of the report of Monday's market at Mark-lane the trade here has been of a very quiet character, without any perceptible change in the value of any article. The imports into Liverpool and Run corn this week exhibit inareased quantities of oats, barley, mat malt, coastwise; oats and oatmeal from Ireland; and wheat and flour from abroad; but on the whole they are still far from extensive. At our market this morning there was only a limited amount of business passing, and although in some in stances the turn of prices was s lightly in favour of buyers, the alteration was too trifling to admit of any variation in the quo; tations of this day se'nnight. GLOIJOESTER, MARCH 6.—We have not had a single llnp on s tation of wheat from abroad this week, but the supplies of barley have been pretty liberal.
