Subsequently, as they proceeded to the station house,-he heard something jingle over the wall. The con- . stable asked the prisoner what it was, but he made no reply.

At the west or upper end of the lough, a pier has been constructed at this place for landing materials, iron rails, coals for the steam-boats, and locomo tive engines, &c. There is also here an extensive wharf and yard for manufacturing waggons; &c. ; 700 tons of coals have already.been lw-ded at this pier, and a large cargo is now being discharged. At Derry much has been done in building flats, tugs, &c. ; twenty-s!x of the former are completely 'ready, each capable of carrying seventy tons; five steam tugs are in a state of forwardness, two of them are ready for launching, and only await the arrival of the engines, which are daily expected. From the financial statement it appears that the expenses of obtaining the Act of Incorporation was only 6,4271. Is.

The report having been moved and adopted, the sum of 9001. was voted for the services of the directors, and it was moved that 60/. be given tothe auditors. On this last reso lution two amendments were moved, one that the vote be deferred till the next meeting, and the other that the sum be 50/. Both, however, were lost, and the original motion was carried. TieTuri,'a — f7eraShort deliberation, returned a verdict fdr the plaintiff for the full sum claimed. VORLEY V. SAUL. Mr. Lush, with Mr. Humphrey, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jervis, with Mr. James, for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 551. 10s. for goods sokl and delivered: The plaintiff, it was alleged sold three oxen to defendant on the 12th of December las, for the above sum, to recover which the present action was brought. _ _ The directors have mnch. pleasure in reporting to the proprietors, that satisfactory progress has been made in carry ing out the powers of the Act of Parliament, and that the prospects of the Company, with regard to the probable ccst of the construction of the lice, are most gratifying.

A number of witnesses were examined on both sides. The,l,earned JUDGE, in summing up, said that the whole question for the consideration of the jury was whether the oxen were sold on credit, and,. if so, whether the person to whom the oxen were delivered was employed by the defend ant to purchase them for him. The jury, after consulting together for about twenty minute ,, , returned a verdict for the defendant. • 5. That the Directors be empowered to take such steps as they may deem advisable for increasing the working capital of the Company, by an issue of the reserved shares. Thanks were voted to the Chairman and the Directors, and the meeting broke up. " The consequent outlay has entailed upon the directors the necessity of making a second call of 51. per share on the proprietors. By order of the Board, FRED. LAWRANCE, Resident Sec.

Mr. Baron PAuku directed the jury to find the younger Stone Not Guilty, as no charge had been proved against him. This verdict was returned, and the prisoner was discharged accordingly. ' Mr. Baron PARK went through the evidence at great length, remarking, as to the female prisoner, that the jury must find her not only privy to the intention, but assisting or present when the fire was kindled. .

He is a bipenis as well as a trisceles, and the causes of this extraordinary gemination of limbs and organs, and the probabilities of their future growth and development, may well afford ample field for the speculations of the learned.

"The Bills for authorising the extension lines, sanctioned at the special general meeting of shareholders, held on the 31st of December last, have been presented to Parliament, and are now before the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. " The Bill for amalgamating this Company with the Lynn and Deroham, and Ely and Huntingdon Railway Companies, has also been introduced into the House of Commons. As, however, the amalgamation was not agreed upon until the 31st of December last, the Parliamentary notices for the Bill could not be given until after the time prescribed by the standing orders had expired. The Standing Orders' Committee have therefore necessarily reported to the House this non-com pliance with their regulations, but 'there is every reason to hope that, as the Bill affects no interests but those of the proprietors in the respective companies, the Select Com mittee, to whom the Bill has been referred, will recommend that the standing orders be in this case dispensed with."

The plaintiff claimed as administratix of her husband, who had been a builder. The defendant is the landlord Of the White Lion, Thames -street. The action was brought to recover the sum- of 161.55. Ild. for work done. On the case being called on, a gentleman said that unfor tunately the defendant's attorney was too unwell to attend, but he (the applicant) begged to be heard. The SECONDARY aid that he could only hear an attorney, his authorised clerk, .or counsel, unless ;the defendant chose to appear. The facts of the case were simple ; the work was proved to have been done. The defendant called a witness, who stated that he considered 10/. a fair price for the work ; his measurement and estimate, however, were amongst other papers in the hands of the attorney. - The SECONDARY said the jury must take the case as it stood, however incomplete.

The jury, after deliberating a short time, returned a verdict of Guilty against John Stone, sen. The female prisoner was aquitted. Mr. Baron PARK, in giving judgment, said the prisoner had been found guilty, on the clearest evidence, of a crime which but a few years before was visited with capital punishment. The danger to human life from his act was imminent. He doubted whether he ought not to sentence him to transpor tation for life.

AY AFFECTING GOOD BYE A gentleman, not many days remote, Was heard in conversation with his coat. " My faithful friend," said he, "it makes me grieve To think that I'm constrain'd to take my leave. You've been a worthy garment in your time, But now, alas! I think you've seen your prime. And, therefore, dearest coat! I think it best To fold you up and pop you in thy chest. Good bye, my worthy coat ! good bye! good bye I" (And here he wip'd a tear-drop from his eye). " Well," said the garment. "if it must be so, It can't be help'd ; but I regret to go. Of course you'll haste to MOSES for another; At MOSES' mart I've many a worthy brother. You'll get a coat of HOSE' and his SON To serve you just as well as I have done. I'm only one from such a boundless stock; They've charming coats in thousands—dress and frock. Cheer up, good master ! pray cheer up," said he, . " You'll get another coat as good as me."

LYNN AND DEREHAM RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held yes terday immediately after that of the Lynn and Ely Company; H. C. Lacy, Esq., in the chair, when a report similar in ,substance to the Lynn and Ely was agreed to. The following report from the engineer was also agreed to : " Gentlemen,—ln reporting to you the progress made in the works, I must in the first place state to you that, in con sequence of the extreme demand, during the autumn of last year, for engineering draughtsmen, and assistants, I was unable, until after the 30th of November, to form a suffi cient staff for properly commencing operations. Since that time, however, I have been more successful. " The whole of the line is staked out, - and the levels for the contract sections taken. The necessary plans for the purchase of the land required for the first contract are also completed. " The contract for the portion of the line from Lynn to Narborough (being a distance of nine miles) is let to Mr. James Walker for a sum under my estimate, and the works will be completed by the end of August. " The plans and drawings for the next contract are in a state of great forwardness, and it may be advertised forth with.—l am, gentlemen, your most obedi en t servant, " Lynn, Feb. 23, 1846.' " J. S.

ELY AND HUNTINGDON RAIL- WAY. The proprietors of this Company also assembled at the London Tavern yesterday, at two o'clock ; Henry C. Lacy,; Esq., in the chair. The report read by the SECRETARY was to the following effect: " In meeting the proprietors on this occasion, the directors beg to refer to the engineer's report for a statement of the progress made in the line. " — The iron rails, chairs, and sleepers for the whole of the line have been purchased, and are in course of delivery at Lynn. " The Bill for authorising the extension line sanctioned at the special general meeting of the shareholders, held on the 31st of December last, has been presented to Parliament, and has passed the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Commons. " The Bill for amalgamating this Company with the Lynn and Ely, and Lynn and Dereham Railway .Companies, has also bee* introduced into the House of Commons. As, how ever, the amalgamation was not agreed upon until the 31st of December last, the Parliamentary notices for the Bill could not be given until after the time prescribed by the standing orders had expired. The Standing Orders'-Com mittee have therefore necessarily reported to the House this non-compliance with their regulations; but there is every reason to hope that, as the Bill affects no interests but those of the proprietors in the respective Companies, the Select Committee, to whom the Bill has been referred, will recom mend that the standing orders be in this case dispensed with. " Interest on the deposit and call, at the rate of W. 10s. per cent. per annum, will be paid forthwith to the proprietors whose names stand this day on the Company's register." The cash accounts appended to the report] showed the receipts, to the 31st of January, to have been 43,2041. 19s. i d., w hich, excepting a balance in the banker's hands, 17,6071. 18s., had been expended. The following report of the engineer was also submitted. " Gentlemen,—The railway commences about one mile from the Ely station of the Eastern Counties Railway, by which a considerable saving is effected in the length of rail way to be made ; this arrangement is the result of agree ment with the Eastern Counties Company. From this junction to Huntingdon the line is staked out, and the plans of the property to be purchased, with the exception of a por tion iu the neighbourhood of the Old West River, and the River Ouse at Overcote, are in the hands of the solicitors. The reason why the plans of the property in the parts just referred to have not been furnished is, that by the Act of Parlia ment the Railway Company cannot proceed to execute the work until the consent of the Corporation of the Bedford level is first obtained to the mode of crossing those rivers. which has not yet been received, and the quantity of land depends upon their decision. " The design and details of the various works upon the line, including the stations, are in a very advanced state, and there is nothing to prevent the contracts being adver tised but the consent of the Corporation of the Bedford leve before mentioned, not being yet received. " I have also to state that since the permanent levels were' taken, I have made an amended section of the line, which deviates considerably beyond the limits allowed by Parlia ment, unlesk sanctioned by the Board of Trade ; this section was sent to 1)2 laid before them on November 19, and they did not issue their certificate of approval until the 30th of last month. This amendment of the section effects a saving of upwards of 200,000 cubic yards of earthwork. " I very much regret that so much time has been lost in commencing the works, but you are well aware of the late un precedented demand for engineers and draftsmen, and until the day for depositing plans with the clerks of the peace (the 30th of November) was passed, it was impossible to obtain any assistance. It is somewhat better now, although ex tremely difficult. " Since the above was written I have received a letter from the solicitor to the Corporation of the Bedford level, requiring additional plans to be sent, which I put in hand immediately, and they shall be transmitted to him in the least possible time; after which, a meeting will be arranged on the spot, which I will attend for the purpose of finally settling the business.—l have the honour to be, your most obedient servant, (Signed) " Manchester, Feb. 17tb, 1846, ' " GEO.

Much had been done to wards the reclamation of the land, a great part of which was already inclosed by the embankment on the borders of Lough Foyle, and there was everprospect that g rea t returns would accrue to the Company from that source. • The contract for the embankment had been taken by Messrs. Fleming and Bromhead, on very good terms for the Company. With these preliminary observations, and after informing the meeting that Mr. ferrer hkd retired from the board of direction, and that Sir J. N. R. Campbell bad been elected in his place, he a.arc2tl,‘s.oelOytons pressed forward. of permanent called upon the secretary to read the report.

A report from the local directors was also read,Which stated that at Downhill the works connected with the tunnel (the heaviest on the line) are progressing very rapidly ; the dif ferent driftways and headings have already reached to the extent of between 600 and 700 feet, being equal to one-fifth of the whole length. The clearing away the faces of the tunnel, a height of nearly 200 feet, is also far advanced, and the embankment alcn , the foot of th e headlands west of Downhill, is being formed n for a distance of about half a mile.

The first half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held at one o'clock this day, at the Lon don Tavern, for the transaction of the ordinary business of the Company; W. B. Hughes, Esq., M.P., Chairman. The usual formal business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, after which The Secretary, Mr. J. DLARRINER, read the report, which stated that it had been found necessary, since the passing of the Act, to make a deviation from the course of the proposed railway at Caruarvon for the better accommodation of the inhabitants of that town, and also an alteration in the level of this line at the point of junction with the Chester and Holy head Railway, at Bangor. The requisite measures had been consequently adopted, to obtain in the present session the authority of Parliament for this purpose. The whole of the line, as finally determined upon, had been surveyed, and a contract had been arranged with Messrs. Jackson and Co. for the execution of the works between Bangor and Car narvon, which would ensure that portion of the railway being opened in the month of July next year. The balance sheet, made up to the 31st of January, showed an available balance of 32,8241. 12s. ld. The report and accounts were then received and adopted. The following gentlemen, who retired from office by rota tion, were then re• elected :—W. B. Hughes, Esq., M.P., Sir W. Wynn, F. .L Walker Jones, Esq., William Chadwick, Esq., James Ramsay, Esq. T. B. Simpson, Esq., J. J. Kin loch, Esq., Stephen Phillips, Esq., Alexander Ross, Esq. J. Lowden, Esq., of Doughty-street, was re-elected in the place of Mr. Carver; and B. Edgington, Esq., in the room of Wm. Bland, Esq., who had retired from the direction. Mr. James Pyke and Mr. Charles Hill were elected to fill the office of auditors for the ensuing year. Sir Joint RF.NNIE said that the proposed deviations would not exceed a mile and a quarter, and that the cost, which could not have been forseen at the time they obtained the Act, would be about 12,000/. A resolution, forfeiting 160 shares which had not been taken up, was then passed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman and directors, and suitably acknowledged, the meeting separated.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Feb. 26. The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to-day, and heard motions. The Court was occupied the whole morning with the case of Parker v. Constable. His Lordship rose at an early hour to attend her Majesty's Draw ing Room. The Vice -Chancellor of England did not sit to-day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 25. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) WESTON, EXECUTORS OF EVERS V. LADD. In this case the executors of a Mr. Evers, deceased, sought to recover a sum of 7,0001. from the defendant, Major Ladd,. nephew of the deceased. It appeared that deceased was !n • volved in a Chancery suit, which he was apprehensive would go against him, a result that would embarrass him very much ; that he withdrew from his banker, a sum of 7,0001., which he had in notes ; and that shortly before his death he sent . his maid servant to c3ll his nephew ; that she returned with him ; that in her presence, in the bed room, the deceased handed defendant a sum of money, say i ng, at the same time, " Take this as a gift, and let nobody know that you have got it;" that defendant took the money, and after the death of the deceased he consulted the servant as to where he should conceal the money, and that he ulti mately concealed 6,0001. in the mattress, and changed one of the 1,0001. notes for 1001. notes; that a search was made for the money after the death of the deceased, but defendant denied all knowledge of the money; but it was found in a mattress, and lodged in a bank. The executors now sought to recover the money, and contended that it was never g i ven to the defendant as a gift, but had only been entrusted to his care by, the deceased as a safe place of deposit for it. The jury found for the defendant. EXCHEQUER COURT, Feb. 26. London Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEI BARON and a Special Jury.) WILLIANs V. BRADLEY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 2911. ss. 6d., for goods sold and delivered. The plaintiff is a sta tioner, living in Bucklerabury, and the defendant one of the provisional committee , of a projected li ne o f ra il way , ca ll e d the Direct Western. The plaintiff, in the course of his busi ness last summer, supplied maps, &c., to the defendant, to the amount of 291/. ss. 6d., to recover which suui the pre sent action was brought. Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted the entire sum; as he had ceased to be on the committee of directors since July last and as the greater portion of the goods ? were supplied afterwards, he considered that wal rl9lll4Ne. Mr. Lucas, counsel for the bankrupt, urged, that in this case the non-keeping of books of account ought not to be visited with punishment. Up to a certain date, he was un questionably solvent, and his affairs had been easily wound up. It would be a bad principle in law to punish a man for not keeping books where not absolutely require!. The bank rupt was not shown to have acted dishonestly or to have spent his creditors' money. The COMMISSIONER concurred, and allowed the bankrupt to pass his examination. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Carlisle, Feb. 23. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PArrEsoN.) Jt,hn Hobday, a thick-set, powerful man, with a shock head of hair, and a deep gash in his cheek, giving him a very ferocious appearance, was put to the bar, charged with cutting and wounding Dennis Salmon, with intent to maim him, to disfigure him, and to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Matthews conducted the prosecu tion; the prisoner (in the absence of Mr. Ramshay) was de fended by Mr. James. Mr. KNOWLES stated the case to the jury. He said the prisoner and prosecutor were both engaged in the works of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, and the circumstances which had resulted in the present trial arts() out of some disputes which the jury were, no doubt, aware had arisen between the Irish and English labourers on the line. He regretted to see, from his instructions in the present case, that some of the persons engaged as workmen on that line seemed to think their Irish fellow-subjects were out of the pale and the protection of the law, but they must be taught that they were all on an equality in that respect, and that they all, as they owed obedience to the law, were under the law's safeguard. After detailing the facts of the case, the Learned Counsel proceeded to call the several witnesses. It appeared, that in the beginning of the present month, in consequence of some serious disputes between the English and the Irish labourers on the line, it was arranged that the Irish should be employed to the north and the English to the south of Penrith. About Penrith, however, they were a good deal mingled. On the llth of February a number of the Irish had assembled and gone to Eamont-bridge for the purpose of bringing away their effects there, and their wives and children. They did so peaceably and without outrage. The following day a number of English " navvies," from 2,000 to 3,000, entered the town of Penrith. The yeomanry were called out, and for some time succeeded in preserving the public peace. They were called off, however, in another quarter, and immediately a number of the " navvies" pro ceeded to a house kept by a person of the name of M'Levi, where several of the Irish were lodging. They tried to break open the front door, but failed. They then went to the back, and succeeded in effecting an entrance. The Irish men had concealed themselves in various parts of the house, but were pulled out one by one, taken down stairs, and beaten most severely, four or five of them being left insen sible on the ground. Among the most active was the pri s.sner at the bar, who, conspicuous by his long hair and shaggy beard, had headed a large body of " navvies" in their entrance into Penrith in the morning. The prosecutor was left insensible. He had two severe cuts on the head, his elbow was shattered, and the upper part of his body one mass of bruises, Verdict, Guilty.—Sentence deferred. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Mr. BALLANTINE made an application this morning to have the trial of John Feacy, for the wilful murder of Thomas Martin, postponed till next session. He made this applica tion because there had been no time to instruct counsel in the case. Mr. Baron PARKE suggested that it be left over till Saturday. Mr. BALLA/CTINE said that he would enquire whether this time would be sufficient, and mention it again to-morrow. John Stone, sen., John Stone, jun., and Ann Hyde, were charged with hating feloniously set fire to a certain dwell ing -house, No. 3, Oidge-road, the property of George Leo nard, with intent to defraud the Union Insurance Company. Mr. Doane was for the prosecution. The prisoners were undefended. George Leonard had let the house in question to John Stone, sen., at 161. quarterly rent. The female came first, and the male prisoners followed some time after. In the month of November last Stone the elder came into his shop, and asked if he (Mr. Leonard) were insured, and where; he was told at Mr. Austen's, the agent for " the Union." He said that he would go over and see about it, and he then left. On Sunday, the Bth of February, he ob served a strong smell of fire, and on examining the premises occupied by the prisoners he discovered that a bed and a bag of shavings were on fire. The shavings were not used as a bed. He pulled the bag of shavings into the road, and again ran up stairs. The partition was then in a flame, but after some difficulty it was got out. He observed a box from which smoke was issuing. There were, however, no signs of fire outside. On opening the box he found a lot of cooper's chips, and a piece of coke as large as his fist inside it. There was a very strong smell of turpentine. The furniture was of the most wretched description, there being only one chair, a clothes-horse, a tub, and a lantern. He observed a light through the chinks of the partition into the next room,_ and having first drawn down a portion of it, he managed to get water at it. The fire appeared to come from below the flooring, and on exa mination it was found that the floor had been raised and . a e. There was another bed there, and a second bag till lot of broken up baskets placed there, which were : d n with There were sonic drawers in a chest shavings, also on tire. partsle those o f i ff ir e e ret w it hi above were filled with in that room, and . th h e c b o o op tt e o r m, s c o i n l e ips. was m on di the room were other bags of shavings not on fire. Lees corroborated the testimony of the former witness. Elizabeth Dowse said she was related to the female pri soner, at whose house she went to reside about Christmas. The prisoner slept in the same house. The witness had a bed upstair4where there were four chairs, a chest of drawers, and" a mirror. She lay on a feather bed. In thenext room John tone, j un., slept. Witness stayed at the house three weeks, and was away one week before the fire broke out. John Stone, sen., said it would not be convenient for her to remain at his house longer; on that account she made up her mind to go to Wiltshire, but at the request of Stone the younger and her aunt (the female prisoner), she took a house in Trafalgar street, Stone the younger offering to pay the rent. After she w ho keeps a beer-shop, brought a and a set of fire-irons, sent, b e bed d d agroldnethere, bedstead,o n t e w B o e boxes, ck, said, by the prisoners. Beck after that returned, and said the bedstead must be put up on the ground floor, it was not worth while lugging it up stairs, as she might not be long there. On the Sunday her aunt and young Stone call e d on her, and the former slipped something under the b e d f rom b e low her cloak. She was coled to the do or b y h er aunt, who told her Stone had been very cross and contrary. He was on the drinking order. He had bee,: grumbling that he was so dirty. She bag b roug h t down - M b dirty - clothes, askedato her meet intending to be - do wn to wash day. Witn ess said she was going wasat WitnessT u going,rn han them nett a -1 1 e e n Bh green. nd This was about 7 o ' c l oc k i n the eveni n g. two persons we n t out together to a beer-shop at Turnham green, where young Stone called for a pot of beer. Her aunt appeared very low, and on being asked what the matter was, merely shook her head. Witness and her son left the two prisoners in the beer-shop, and met Stone the elder at the door as they left, but refused to go in. Almost an hour after she home to Trafalgar-street the witness Newell came to the door and said Stone's house was on fire. Wit ness found the bundle and the band-box brought by her aunt to contain dirty clothes. Her aunt came about twelve o'clock that evening, and appeared in great trouble. Richard Beck said his father kept a beershop in Queen street, Hammersmith. He removed a bed and boxes on the Saturday to Trafalgar-street, which Mrs. Dowse gave him out of his father's stable, and some other articles from Stone's house. Charles Beck, father of the last witness, said he knew that an old bedstead belonging to Stone was in his stable for some weeks before the fire. Daniel Merriff, builder, the landlord of the house in Tra falgar-street, said the female prisoner and Mrs. Dowse came to engage the house. William Newell, said he went on the Bth of January to 7, Bridge-road, at about 9 o'clock, and saw Mrs. Dowse there but not the prisoners. lie went to Phillips's workshop and found the female prisoners drinking, and called out the elder Stone, and told him his house was on fire. Stone replied "Oh, is it ;" and continued to smoke his pipe, and then asked whether witness would go in and have some ale. When they went in the female prisoner asked what the matter was, and the elder Stone told them the house was on fire, when n all going the female prisoner began to cry. A , sth they were home witness said he told th th e th e had e a drawers and found some papers on f The eldep l r Stone said he was done for.

Ayred Jones, 20, was indicted for feloniously aiding and counselling one Thomas Smith to commit a felony. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution. It will be remembered that, at the December session, a man named Thomas Smith was indicted, with a woman who passed as his wife, the former for stealing a 101. note, the robbery being accompanied with menaces and violence, and the woman for receiving the note, knowing it to have been stolen. The robbery _was of an *aggravated character. The man went to the liouse of a lady - named HambelanictiVP*l Harbour-lane, Camberwell, and lie sent up a letter to her by the servant, in which money was demanded, and a threat also, that if it was not given some men, who were out side, should be called in, and that their lives should be token. The prisoner then produced a pistol, and under the terror produced by his conduCt a 101. note was given to him, which note was changed - by the woman the next day, and this led to the charge being made against her. She was, however, acquitted, but the man was found guilty and sentenced to be transported for life. The prisoner now before the Court was charged with being an accessory to the offence by being cognizant that the robbery was about to be committed, and with having himself written the letter that was taken by the other prisoner, and these facts were clearly brought home to him. The jury found a verdict of Guilty. Inspector Campbell, who appeared to have been instru mental in getting up the case against the prisoner, and who appeared to have been very active upon the occasion, in answer to a question from the Court, said that the prisoner had been two or three times summarily convicted for attempts to commit felony. Mr. Baron PARKE sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen years. .NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman CrrALus.) Benjamin Pavyer was indicted for receiving four type moulds, value 101., the property of Vincent r iggins, well knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Doane conducted the prosecu tion, and the prisoner was d e f en d e d b y M r. Cl ar k son an d Mr. Ballantine. The facts of the case were briefly these :—A man named Simms, in the employ of the prisoner, who is the well known type-founder of Bartholomew-close, was present when he bought the four moulds for 9s. 6d. of a lad, who stated he had bought them in Edinburgh.
