There will also be a variety in thicker substances, hut, for the extreme heat anticipated on the moors this season, those described will be found a perfect luxury in comparison with others. They will also be found very useful as a Fishing Coat, and other such purposes ; but it is necessary to observe that they can only be had in London, of 11. J. and D.

IRELAND.-COUNTY OF ANTRI3I. One of the most improving and extensive FEE-SIMPLE ES TATES In the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. R. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an- LYJ_ nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION,in the Autumn, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, _ _ The lIALOORM or OLENAHERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorrn Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve. ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estate are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob. tained of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons, 29, Grenville-street, Mountjoy-square, Dublin, and Fermoy, Ireland; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W.Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news paper made the following review .—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence ofthe Land lords oflreland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant, The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, Is an Eriglitlfrffiftl; of Vast ex. porience in matters relating to the Improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very-few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.' " IRELAND—IN THE COUNTY OF KERRY.

SIMPSON, for obvious reasons, has recommended the proprietors of Irish Estates who have honoured him with their confidence, to postpone those sales, which were advertised to be sold by Auction in April and June last to the autumn of this year. The ameliorating measures brought forward by the late, will no doubt be carried out by the present, Government, and the confidence which attach to these measures has already inspired that tranquillity which tends to industry and that increased prosperity in the country which must ensure remu nerative and secure investment for capital. The applications Mr. Simpson has had from English and Irish capitalists for particulars of estates at present advertised, and having already received an offer for the Estate in the county of Donegal, advertised for sale by auction, (consisting of 4,100 acres) of within 6001. of the sum which would be accepted, confirms the correctness of the foregoing conclusions. The above observations apply also t o mortgages, and Mr. Simp son has large sums ready to be advanced on approved security. Bucklersbury, August, 1846. GOLDEN F L A X. Extract from the " Northern Whig," August 4,1846. Society for the Promotion and Improvement of the Growth of Flax in Ireland. " A member of Committee having stated that some parties in London had been using fac sitnilies of the medals aw, rded by this Society, as prizes for Linens made from Irish Flax, for the purpose of vending goods under the denomination of Golden Fax linen,' the Committee disapproved of this, as these prizes are given solely with a view of exhibiting the capabilities of Irish Flax ibr the fabric of the finest description of linens."

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of bur owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our Individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, Friday, Aug. 7. COOKE V. WETHERELL. The above cause was resumed this morning at nine o'clock. Elizabeth Revell deposed that, in September, 1843, she was in the service of Mr. Wetherell at Byfield, and her husband was engaged as coachman. While she was in the defendant's service, several little things were ob served between Mr. Wetherell and Mrs. Cooke which excited attention, and at three o'clock on one Sunday morning she saw them both go into Mrs. Cooke's bed room, and they remained there in the dark for twenty minutes, when they came out and went down stairs. Witness had frequently seen Mrs. Cooke go from her own bed-room early in the morning to her father's with her dressing-gown, and after she had gone to bed she had heard their bed-room doors open and shut. Upon another occasion she went into Mrs. Cooke's bed-room in the morning, and distinctly observed upon the bed the appearance of two persons having lain upon it. The witness then gave similar testimony to the other wit nesses with regard to the appearance of Mrs. Cooke before her departure for the country and upon her re turn. Soon after Mr. Wetherell was in the Queen's Bench raison. She went there to see him, and he asked her if she had heard any thing about what Mr. Russell and his wife had to say about him and his daughter, and she told him that she had. She saw the defendant out again a day or two afterwards, and he brought up the subject a second time, and asked what Mrs. Russell had said. She told the defendant what Mrs. Russell stated, and that she suspected Mrs. Cooke had miscar ried. She likewise told him what the washerwoman said, and he became very red, and turned his face away; and he then said, " Well, if I choose to wash my linen before I send it away, what has that to do with my daughter?" Witness remarked that his daughter's linen also appeared to be washed, and to this be made no reply. At this time Mr. Wetherell owed her husband some money, and upon his saying that he did not care about what the Russells said, but he wished she would go out of the way, she told him that if he paid her what he owed them she would go away the next day. Cross-examined—The defendant generally came down to Byfield on Saturday night, in order to be ready to perform divine service the next Sunday. Mrs. Cooke always went to church on the Sunday. Before the este.- btishment was broken up, there were four male servants and three females kept at Byfield. She was aware that the defendant was in difficulties, and that he used to travel in different directions in order to avoid the sheriff. Proceedings had been taken by her husband against the defendant to recover his wages, and latterly Mr. Cooke had acted as his attorney against defendant. By Serjeant SnEE—She only knew that from what had been told her, and did not know it of her own knowledge. Margaret Langridge, lady's maid in the family, de posed that she had frequently seen the defendant and his daughter kiss one another in, as she considered, an improper manner. She had seen them do this when Mrs. Cooke had nothing but a dressing-gown over her night. dress. She remembered Mrs. Cooke coming down to Byfield after the marriage, and witness slept with her, and she remembered one night, after she had un dressed her for bed, she told her that she (witness) might go to bed, as she was going to her papa's room, and she went out of her bed-room. Witness went to sleep, and was awoke by Mrs. Cooke coming into her bed-room, and from the appearance,of the fire and the candle she should say she must have been away for three hours. She did the same thing another night, after she was undressed, but she was not away so long, and not more than half an hour. She had repeatedly seen the father and daughter embrace each other when they had nothing but their night-gowns and dressing-gowns on. They did this both at night and in the morning, and as she considered in an indecent manner. Mr. Wetherell had no trousers on—nothing but his stockings and slip pers ; and both before and after the marriage, she had seen him put his arms around his daughter's neck, and press her to him in au indecent manner. Cross-examined—Witness went into defendant's ser vice in March, 1842, and she noticed the familiarities very shortly afterwards, and always thought defendant's conduct very indecent ; but, notwithstanding this, she assisted in promoting the runaway marriage with Mr. Cooke, and was quite aware for some time before that secret courting was going on. Mr. Cooke used to come to the house when the father was out. She thought what she had seen was very indecent and improper, but did not say a word about it to Mr. Cooke. The wit ness admitted, in further cross-examination, that she did not make so full a statement when she was before summoned at Croydon ; but she accounted for this by saying that the questions were not put to her. She said that after Mr. and Mrs. Cooke went away from Byfield, they took up their residence in fur nished apartments in Welbeck-street ; but she declared that Mr. Cooke never staid out all night while they were there ; but on one occasion he did stay out till three in the morning. She had been to No. 29, Seymour street, and saw a lady there, but did not know her name She had heard it was Mrs. Dayton. Elizabeth Cra.uford deposed that she was engaged by Mr. Wetherell to make his bed and wait upon him while he was in the Queen's Bench prison. Mrs. Cooke was in the habit of visiting him every day, and she was in and out until the evening. In consequence of what she had heard relating to the connexion between Mr. Wetherell and his daughter, she used to make the bed in a particular manner, and she frequently remarked that the sheets had been turned from the top to the bottom, and she also observed other appearances which excited her suspicion. She also said that she several times found Mr. Wethereli's room, door locked when Mrs. Cooke was there, and sometimes when she knocked she was kept two or three minutes before the door was opened, and sometimes she went away to another room because she could not wait. She spoke to Mr. Wetherell about the door being locked, and he said he locked it because he was afraid Mr. Cooke would send some one to insult his wife. Cross-examined—Mr. Cooke was a prisoner in the Bench before Mr. Wetherell came there, and a lady used to come there and walk about with him on the parade. She generally came to tile prison on a Sunday, and they used to call her Mrs. Cooke. She could not say whether Mr. Cooke was twice in the prison, be cause "so many gentlemen came in and out."—(A laugh.) She was dismissed from attending in the prison because the governor suspected she had brought spirits into the prison, and she refused to be searched. She had taken spirits into Mr. Cooke's room, but did not see the lady who was called Mrs. Cooke in the room at the time. By the Jury—The door was not always locked when Mrs. Cooke came to see her father. Williain Hammerton, a person employed at the Sheriff's lock-up house, in Chancery-lane, deposed that while Mr. Wetherell was confined there, he had seen Mr. Wetherell sitting by tile side of his daughter with his arm round her neck and his hand on her breast. He had also seen her sitting upon his bed in his bed-room. By the Court—The bed-room was the only private room that Mr. Wetherell had. Mr. Young, a clerk at the Weedon station upon the Birmingham Railway, deposed that he knew the defend ant, and in the autumn of 1843, he directed him to for ward any letters that might be brought to him by his coachman, to the address, " T. C. Mills, Esq., Post-office, Gloucester." He identified some envelopes that were produced, as those he had sent in pursuance of the direc tions given to him by the defendant. Cross-examined—Believe he told Mr. Wetherell at this time that a " gentleman" was waiting for him on the other side. Tie afterwards heard that person was a sheriff's officer. Evidence was next adduced to show that letters, ad dressed as stated by the last witness, were sent through the post-offices at Chepstow, Gloucester, and other places, and that they came into the possession of the defendant. The statement, made in pursuance of a judge's order, of the places where the adultery was charged to have been committed was then put in. The act was charged to have been committed at Eaton-place, at Gloucester, Chepstow, Monmouth, Bath, Bristol, Clifton, and lastly at the Queen's Bench prison in the county of Surrey. This closed the case for the plaintiff. A great number of letters were read in the course of the case, but the following were the only material ones relied upon by the plaintiff in support of the action, The first was a letter dated 20th October, 1842, a week after the marriage of the plaintiff. It was as fol will not be required for any long period of time, but that we may soon let the house. This will be the most im portant step we can take at present, and we must endea vour, through this troublesome year, to remain as snug as we can, and a good let would materially assist us to shake off a certain party. Prayerz can do wonders for us! Should it not bring relief in greatest straits, it pro motes resignation and acquiescence in the Divine. will; ard, after all, this should be the object of our principal aim, that God's will may be done. God be with you to morrow, and with your affectionate parent, _ " CHARLES WETHERELL." Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL', then rose to address the jury for the defendant. He said that he quite agreed with the observation made by his Learned Friend in his opening speech, that this was truly a criminal proceed ing, but he said he did not think a jury could be found who would or who ought to convict the defendant upon such evidence as that which had been adduced in support of the charge against him. They were called upon to believe that the defendant, a clergyman, had not only been guilty of the crime of adultery, but that he com mitted it with his own daughter, and that he had not only been guilty of an incestuous intercourse with her after her marriage but also before it, and that he was so reckless in the gratification of his guilty passion that he had even continued the intercourse since this action had been brought against him. lie should contend that this charge was altogether monstrous and improbable, and that it was impossible for the jury to believe that a young woman like Miss Wetherell, should leave her husband, and yield herself up to an incestuous intercourse with her father, under such odious and profligate circumstances. It might be said that the witnesses had sworn positively to certain facts which left no doubt of the guilt of the par ties ; but lie would remind the jury that they were not called upon, although witnesses might choose to swear positively to them, to believe circumstances which must be considered revolting and impossible in the opinions of any man of discretion and judgment. They would remember that the question the jury now had to decide, was not whether the defendant had been extravagant, and had squandered away his daughter's fortune most improperly, or whether there had been more freedom and affection exhibited by them than was usual between father and dau ;liter, but what they had to say by their verdict was, whether or not it was proved that there had been a criminal and incestuous intercourse between them, and whether that intercourse had been continued and repeated time after time under circumstances of the most notorious profligacy, the daughter being a young married woman, and the defendant an old man in holy orders, and who was proved to have performed the sacred duties that devolved upon him during the whole period when this most odious connexion was alleged to have existed. He said there could be no doubt from the evidence, that Mr. Cooke had run away with Miss Wetherell, under the impression that he should receive a fortune with her, and that he was bitterly disappointed in this respect ; but the jury should recollect that Mr. Wetherell was no party to this, for he had distinctly refused his daughter's hand to Mr. Cooke. When, how ever, the marriage had taken place, he expressed a readi. ness to dispose of all the property at By field and Eaton place, and to settle the proceeds upon his daughter, so that it was clear that at this time he was anxious to do all in his power to make reparation for the injustice he had committed with regard to his daughter's property. Mr. Cooke, it appeared, was not satisfied with this, but had most improperly taken possession of the property in the house in Eaton place, and refused to admit the defendant to his own house, and there was no doubt that from this time Mr. Wetherell entertained a repugnance for him and desired to keep him at arms length; and the jury must alFo feel that besides the circumstances to which he had alluded, there must have been some other grave cause of com plaint of the conduct of Mr. Cooke. Could they doubt that he was living in adultery with the person whose name had been mentioned ? Ire did not mean to say that this was any reason why he should not obtain a verdict if he made out his case, but when they saw how active an agent the woman who had lived with him had been in getting up this case, and when they recollected how she had tampered with the witnesses, he was sure the jury would feel that the evidence was open to very great suspicion. The woman he referred to most probs.. bly was actuated by a strong desire to enable Mr. Cooke to get a divorce, in the expectation, per haps, that she should, in that case, become Mr. Cooke's wife, and she had taken every means in her power to get up the case against the defendant. Notwithstand ing this, however, it appeared to him that the only wit ness in the case, whose evidence really affected the de fendant, was Emma Williams, who stated that the defendant and his daughter had slept in the same bed at Chepstow. Now he did not mean to impute perjury to this witness—he did not think ho was justified in doing so—but he did contend most confidently that she was mistaken on that point. All the rest of her evi dence might be perfectly true. The parties were at the hotel—they did stay two nights, but as to their sleeping in the same bed, there was no truth in it ; and she had probably only made that statement in consequence of the means that were taken to warp and bias her judg ment. The jury would not forget that she was speak ing to a circumstance that was represented to have occurred ten years before. There did not appear to have been any reason why she should take particular notice of it, and he would ask the jury, as men of the world, and men of common sense, whether it was likely that she could recollect what she states so positively? The jury would recollect what had occurred with re gard to the picture. If she really could identify Mr. Wetherell, why was the picture left in the manner de scribed. At the first trial, too, the witness denied that any picture had been shown to her. It was true that in point of fact no person did actually show her the picture, but it was left in the room for her to see, and the jury would consider whether her explanation of that contradiction was a satisfactory one. He should, how ever, show that this witness was incorrect in one or two particulars, and should likewise show by positive testimony, that she was completely mistaken with regard to the rooms occupied by Mr. Wetherell and his daughter. The learned Ser geant then alluded to the circumstance of Mr. Cooke having induced the witnesses to make an affidavit of the truth of their original statements to him, and said that this was an additional proof that the witnesses had not been justly dealt with, and it showed there was no evi dence to pledge them to thes statements they made, whether in Court or not. Did the jury doubt that Mr. Cooke and Mrs. Baynton were the real attorneys in this cause, and that the evidence had been got up at the house in Seymour-place? His Learned Friend bad stated that, before the production of Eleanor Williams as a witness, there had been a denial that Mr. Wetherell and his daughter had ever been at the Beaufort Arms, but this was not so. Sergeant . SEIEE—Show me any part of the former case where the fact was admitted? Sergeant CHANNELL proceeded—lie remembered per fectly well stating that it was very likely they did go there in the course of their tour, and the report of his speech that appeared at the time confirmed what he now stated. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to state that he should produce evidence that Mr. Wetherell met a highly respectable gentleman, Captain Hickman, in the course of that tour, and that he introduced himself and his daughter to him, and they afterwards were at the Beaufort Arms together ; and he should satisfy the jury by the clearest evidence, that Captain Hickman and family occupied the suite of rooms, which were repre sented to have been occupied by the defendant, and that the witness Williams was entirely mistaken in this matter. With regard to the evidence of the servants, as to the affection that appeared to exist between the defendant and his daughter, he submitted that it merely proved innocent fatherly affection, exhibited perhaps with a little more warmth than was usual with persons standing in that relation ship to each other, but still offering no proof of the commission of such an awful crime as that imputed to the defendant. The Learned Ser geant then commented upon a part of the case which cannot be more particularly alluded to, and said it was monstrous to suppose that if the tour in August was taken for the purpose which was attempted to be esta blished on the part of the plaintiff, that the guilty par ties would have brought back with them such conclusive evidence of their guilt. A number of witnesses had been called to depose to conversations, and other matters, re presented to have taken place between them and the de fendant and his daughter, and the jury would see that he was entirely in the power of those persons, for they placed the occurrence when no person else was by, and neither Mr. Wetherell nor his daughter could be called to contradict them. As to the evi dence given by the servants, did the jury be lieve that if they really did see the abominable conduct they described, and were satisfied that the communication existed between the father and the daughter, they would have remained is the house, and been witnesses of it? And he would ask them whether it was not much more likely that they had put incorrect constructions upon most innocent familiarities? Was it proper to place reli ance upon the testimony of the lady s maid, who repre sented circumstances tending to show that a criminal connexion bad taken place between the father and the daughter before the marriage, and yet she was the con fidante and active agent in procuring the marriage with Mr. Cooke. As to the name of Mills being announced, was it not perfectly clear that this was done to avoid being accused ? but to clear up all ground of suspi cion on this point, he should show that Mr. Wetherell and his daughter travelled as father and daughter all through that tour ; that that was the rela tionship always represented to exist between them, and this being the case, it was idle to suppose that they in tended to gratify' any unnatural passion for each other. The Learned Counsel in the course of his address com mented upon a variety of other facts in the case which can not be more directly alluded to, and concluded a very able and eloquent speech by expressing a confident opi nion that when the jury had heard the evidence he should lay before them, they would be perfectly satisfied that this foul charge was not made out against the defendant, and that they would return a verdict in his favour. Tho following evidence was then adduced for the de fendant:— Miss George, who keeps the Beaufort Arms, Chepstow, proved the position of the two rooms, Nos. 13 and 17, in which the defendant and his daughter slept whilst at the hotel, and that two beds were charged for in her bill. Captain iliclinaan deposed to having met with Mr. lows : "My dearest Mary,—Oh how terrific is that storm winch has arisen against your unhappy father ! Where will these things end? My health is marvellously good, bnt my peace of mind is like the steam from the vessel, gone for ever. Pray write one line to say you are well. Alas ! you cannot say you arc happy. We fall together. Give it to our friend Hutchings, who will send it to Nisbitt, who will soon know where to address. "THE WRETCH." The next was a letter from the daughter to her father : "My dear Father,—lf you do tell my husband all, he will, I fear, not return to me. I was advised to give back the papers and key I took from the office, and I have done so, The writs I still have. I should like to see you, and would come, but will pray and strive to be quiet.—Your unworthy child, "M. E. M. COOKE. " P. S.—lf you give in, and John does not return, it will be the greatest folly. I fear only for YOU." The next was a letter relied upon by the plaintiff as a proof that the defendant was aware of his daughter being in the family-way in April. 1843, and that ha was taking measures to procure a miscarriage. It was ad dressed by the defendant to Mrs. Cooke:— " Byfield, April 1, 1843. " My , darling will be pleased to hear that a kind Pro vidence has once more brought me to this quiet retreat. On a former occasion I travelled to London with a clerical schoolmaster, and he accompanied me to-day to Blissworth. It helped to beguile the way, though it de• prived me of the pleasure, perhaps of th e pain, of reflec tion. All here is quiet; not any letters for you, and only one for me. I have not said anything to Ruby, for i the chief difficulty will bo n her travelling with me, which is certainly very objectionable, and I fear you will find it difficult to obtain the assistance of a certain coachman's wife, as she has children. It may be best to obtain the assistance of a regular surgeon, if possible, but take care to avoid any such connexion as may bring former servants to the house, or bring you in contact with any of those families you wish to avoid.

I Mrs. Bradshaw, the dressmaker for Miss Wetherell, was then called to contradict the evidence of the witness Russell, relative to her having received directions to alter some of Miss Wetherell's dresses about the period when the miscarriage was supposed to have taken place. This closed the case for the defendant. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and at nine o'clock the jury retired. Shortly before eleven they expressed a desire to see his Lordship, and they were accordingly escorted to his lodgings. The jury then said there was not the least chance of their agreeing to a verdict, and begged that they might be discharged. Mr. CHAXBERS objected to this course on the ground of the immense expense it would be to the parties. The jury eventually retired to a private room, where they deliberated fur nearly an hour, when they again desired to see his Lordship, and then repeated the statement 1 that there was no chance of their agreeing; and it was eventually arranged, after some conversation, and with the consent of both parties, that they should separate for he night. SATURDAY, AUGUST B.—The jury came into Court this morning at nine o'clock, and by direction of the Judge they retired to consider their verdict. At half-past eleven o'clock a messenger stated to the judge that the jury had not yet been able to come to any decision, and they hoped that they might be discharged, His Lordship said he must request them to try still 'longer to agree in their verdict, for the expense of a new trial w . ould be so very heavy upon the parties. At a subsequent period of the day it was stated to the Judge that persons in the street were throwing up pieces of paper through the windows of the room in which the jury were confined. His Lordship said that must not be allowed, and a man must be stationed in the street under the window to prevent this conduct. Four o'clock, Sunday Morning. At nine o'clock the jury having informed the Court that there was no chance of agreeing to a verdict, they were discharged. PRICE SD. Saturday, Aug. 8. V. FULTON GRIFFITHS.-RAILWAY LIABILITIES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an engineer, against the defendant, who was one of the provisional committee of a scheme called the S)xford and Cambridge, High Wyrombe, 'and 'Uxbridge Junction Railway, for a sum of money due to him in respect of his services as engineer of the intended railway. It appeared that the line was originally projected by a person named Robert Morton Caley, who associated himself with Orlando Aguila. Subsequently, a person named Lane joined the undertaking, and induced his uncle, the defendant, Captain Griffiths, who was mayor of Southampton, to become a provisional committeeman. A surveyor, named Andrew Trimen, was then engaged, who assisted in framing advertisements and preparing plans for Parliament. The plaintiff afterwards undertook the duties of engineer to the company. The evidence on behalf of the plaintiff went to prove that the defendant had regularly undertaken the duties of a provisional committeeman, that his name had been set down origin ally by his nephew Lane, with his authority; that he had on several occasions attended the meetings of the committee, and that it was only on the faith of his name appearing to the prospectus that the plaintiff had been in duced to undertake the works. His claim now amounted to 6461. 165., being 100 guineas as a retaining fee, and the rest for his labour at 12 guineas per day. It was proved that the name of the defendant appeared in some of the advertisements in the newspapers as a provisional committeeman, and the contract was 'blade with the plaintiff at one of the meetings of the committee, on the 24th of October. Subsequently to this a managing com mittee was formed, who took upon themselves the trans action of all the business of the Company. Mr. Shee and Mr. Peacock appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS and Mr. BovILL, for the defendant, endeavoured to show, in cross•examining the witnesses, that the defendant (Captain Griffiths) had never given his sanction to his name being inserted as one of the provisional committee; and that if it could be proved that he had done so, still that he had not acted - as one of the managing committee, and was not liable for the acts done by them. Before the opening of the case was concluded, The Learned JUDGE put to the counsel for the plain tiff whether he would proceed further with the case. It was clear that the defendant could not be liable for the expenses incurred in surveying the line, inasmuch as that was no part of the contract entered into in terms of the prospectus of the Company. All that he rendered himself liable for in the first instance was the legitimate expenses, such as advertising, &c., for getting a suffi cient number of subscribers to constitute the Company ; and the managing committee was not justified in incur ring the expenses of a survey, or any other expenses, until the required number of subscribers had been ob tained. He would, therefore, suggest to the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff to withdraw the record, and endeavour to come to an honourable understanding with the counsel for the defendant. The counsel for the plaintiff, after a few moments' consultation with the counsel on the other side, said the latter would come to no terms. The trial then proceeded for some time, when the Learned Judge again interposed. He thought it right to put it to the jury whether they had any doubts as to the defendant having consented to act as a provisional committeeman heft re giving his written consent on the 15th November. The jury, after a brief consultation, said they were not satisfied that the defendant had agreed to act as a provisional committeeman before the 15th November. His Lordship said there was then an end to the case, and the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Warmick, Aug. 8. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and a Special Jury.) GEACII AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES OF - JOHN SCOTT, A BANK RUPT, DECEASED, r. INGALL, ACTUARY OF THE IMPERIAL INSURANCE OFFICE. This extraordinary canse, which lasted from nine o'clock till seven yesterday, and from nine o'clock till past two to day, was an action upon promises brought in the name of the assignees of a bankrupt of the name of John Scott, deceased, by the purchaser at auction (a Mr. Field, as we caught the name) of a policy of insurance upon the life of the said John Scott, upon the 13th of May, 1840, effected in the Imperial Insurance Office for the sum of 2,0001., against the defendant as the actuary or public officer of the said Im perial Insurance Company ; and was a third trial, a new trial having been twice granted, after vervict against the office on each occasion, for misdirection of the Learned Judges— on the first occasion the Lord Chief Justice of England (Denman), and on the second the late Lord Chief Justice of j the Common Pleas. The real issue was, as to what was " spitting of blood." Mr. M. D. Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and Mr. Mellor, conducted the case of the plaintiffs. Mr. Hutnfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Waddington were the counsel on behalf of the office. This case having on the two former occasions appeared in the columns of Thz Sun, we must now restrict ORT report to little more than an outline, though it is one of very considerable importance. On both the former trials, as Bove stated, the company were defeated in their re sistance, as it will be seen below they were also on the present. The policy was effected on the 13th of May, 1840, the examination questions put by the office, of which one was as to the having or ever having had " spitting of blood," having been answered satisfactorily to the office in favour of the life, both by the assured and by his medical atten dant, and the assured having been examined by Mr. Wic kendon, the medical gentleman employed on the part of the office, as also by the medical examiner on the part of another office, by both of whom the life was approved of, and the recommendation in favour of it made to their re spective employers. The assured became a bankrupt ; ' Messrs. Geach and others were appointed assignees under the fiat, and put up the policy for sale by public auction, when the gentleman who now sued in the name of the assignees became the purchaser for the sum of 118/. The questions put to the assured and his medical attendant were, as will be seen, very strict indeed, and, as usual, the truth answers thereto was declared to be the sof the _ basis of contract, th . and this declaration the assured had si g ned. The ofdeath.oc -843, a member of a very c onsumptive family. On the part of the plai n tiff s consumption, beyond curred question. The th Th of e deceased was l evidently we re called a vast number of witnesses, certainly more tha n a scorn, whose evidence went most strongly to ne ga ti ve th e fact of the deceased having been the victim of consumption in May, 1840, and also the fact of his having, or ever had, spitting of blood. The witnesses for the office, with the ex ception of medical gentlemen, a Mr. George Richmond Col lis, and Mr. Wickeudon, the examiner for the office, were all (or very nearly, if not quite so) near relatives of the deceased whose interest under the policy was of course practically lost by the assignment for the benefit of creditors under the fiat in bankruptcy ; and it was advanced for the plaintiffs, that they had either an interest in giving testimony in favour of the office, or an ill-feeling towards the other parties. Mr. Justice PArrEsox commenced his summing up by ob serving upon the great misgivings and apprehensions that he felt in directing the jury, after two such eminent Judges as Lord Denman and the late Lord Chief Justice Tindal had been held to have misdirected. The jury, without leaving the box, in a very few minutes returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, for the amount of the policy, 2,0001. The plaintiffs (in form; the purchaser of the policy, in substance and effect) have thus had three successive verdicts for them, a thing unprecedented, at all events for a very long space of time, if not altogether so. The costs, the whole of which, between party and party, fall upon the office, will probably far exceed the 2,0001., the amount of the policy itself. CHARLES BARKER v. CHARLES FRANCIS WOODY, ESQ. This was an undefended action by an advertisement agent, &c., in London. to recover 273/. for advertisements inserted in he Times, Chronicle, and numerous other papers, against the defendent, as one of the provisional, and also of the managing committee of a project entitled " The Cambrian and Grand Junction Railway. , ' Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Hayes appeared as counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant did not appear at all. The defendant was clearly proved to have been one of the provisional and also of the managing committee. The order by the agent of the committee was also proved, and that advertisements to the amount claimed had been inserted by the plaintiff.
