LAW INTELLIGEN CE, HOUSE OF LORDS. Maylls. The House sat to-day, to hear appeals. The Peers present were Lord Cottenham, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell. LEITH v. YOUNG. The arguments on this part-heard appeal were resumed this morning. The question in the case is on• totally devoid of any interest, relatnig to the construction of a power in a Scotch deed of entail. _ (Tho case had not concluded whoa our Evening Edition went to press.) PRIVY COUNCIL, May 15. t The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day to hear appeals. The Lords present were, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster. BLUM v. RACKFIAII.-JUDGMENT. Their Lordships' gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments on which were concluded on Wednesday last. Their Lordships' affirmed the judgment of the Court below with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 14. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Wicarritan and Common Juries.) HOOPER r. WDONALD. This action was brought by a newspaper agent to recover from the defendant the amount of a bill for advertisements inserted in the London papers for the announcement of a pro ject which was called the Cape of Good Hope Western Rail way, which was brought forward in August last, and of which the defendant was a provisional committeeman. The amount of the bill , 774/ 450/., and it was made np of money paid by the plaintiff for the insertion of the advertisements, and of a demand for his personal trouble in procuring the insertion. Mr. limns-12s (with whom was Mr. Francillon, stated the plaintiff's case to the jury in a short, but amusing ad dress. Colonel Lothian Dixon was then called and Sworn—He said that he held an office under the Crown at the Cape, and that he was a director of the project in question. The wit ness, by the direction of the defendant himself, caused th e defendant's name to be inserted in the list of the committee, which he attended upon one occasion. Cross-examined —Major M'Donald, upon having been ap pointed a provisional committeeman, declared himself dis satisfied, as he had expected to be made a director. This was, however, after his appointment as a provisional committee man had actually been made. Mr. Oldershaw, the attorney of the company, stated that all the insertions had been either directed or sanctioned by the witness and by the board. Another witness proved that the plaintiff had paid every farthing of the bill to the several newspapers in which the advertisements had been inserted. Mr. HAYWARD appeared upon the part of the defendant, and contended that the authority which the defendant had given Colonel Dixon to put his name upon the committee was coupled with the condition of his being made a director, and that, not having been so appointed, he took no further trouble upon the subject. In such circumstances the Learned Counsel contended that the evidence was not eufficieat to establish the liability of the defendaat. The jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found verdict fur the plaintiff for the whole amount. May 15. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice WIGHT3LA W, and Common Juries.) The greater part of the day was occupied in disposing of undefended cases. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 15. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Er and Common Juries.) NISS V. DAVIS. This was a case brought on for the purpose of trying and deciding a technical law point. The facts of the case were these :—The plaintiff was attorney in a case in which he obtained a judgment against a person named Carroll for a debt of 2401., and for which he had been arrested and given in to the custody of the defendant, who is high sheriff of the county of Radnor ; that Carroll was brought up to London tinder a habeas in the month of February, 1846, in the custody of the sheriff's officer, and that while in London he was permitted to go about town and transact some business, and went to Hampstead on the Sunday, but was not at any time out of the custody of the officer. The allegation of the plaintiff was, that this con stituted an escape in law from the custody of the sheriff, and the case was now brought before the Court merely for the purpose of having the point decided. The case was one in which there was a great deal of dry law argument, and had LIQt terminated when our report left. SECONDARIES' COURT, May 15. (Before Mr. Secondary JA.stEs.) ROBERTSON V. HENLEY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is the proprietor of the Railway Record, to recover of the defendant, who is one of the directors of the Direct London and Exeter Railway Company, the sum of 121. 10s., for newspapers sup plied by his order. The defendantADleaded, in abatement, that five other persons being the Managing Committee of the Company, were also liable. Mr. Payne appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Parry for the defendant. The case lasted a considerable time, but the facts were very simple. It appeared that, in September last, the de fendant went to the Railway Record office and requested a paragraph respecting the Company to be inserted, mid at the same time ordered 500 copies of the paper to be sent to the solicitor to the Company, and he wrote the order on the back of his own card. The question raised was, whether the order had been given by the defendant individually, or whether there was anything to lead the plaintiff to suppose he was dealing with the Company. The SECONDARY, in summing up, said that if the jury considered the plaintiff was dealing with the Company, it WAS incumbent on the defendant to set out the names of all the parties liable, and not a part, which might leave those parties to plead that others ought to have been sued. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 14. (Before the Cmx., CO3LMIS3IONER and Mr. Commissioner Pouocx.) DT RE THR EEV. CHARLES WETHERELL. The rule in this case for the rescinding of the vesting order was specially appointed for this day. The insolvent, whose name is unfortunately too notorious, obtained a rule nisi on the ground that the petitioning cre ditor, Mr. Thurmott, a coal-merchant, of Bedford -street, Strand, had been induced to take that step by means of fraudulent representations on the part of other persons, and that he was new willing that the Testing order should be annulled. To-day Mr. Cooke appeared in support of the rule, and Mr. Nicholls and Mr. Dowse to show cause. * Affidavits on the part of the respondents were read from Several parties—one of whom, William Revell, a creditor of the insolvent'e to the extent of 1041., swore that he had applied to Mr. Thurmott to obtain the 'vesting order, that the insolvent's estate might be preserved for the creditors. Ile also stated that he had seen Mr. Thur mott's attorney (Mr. Moseley) on the subject. The affi davit of John Mynde Cooke stated that the insolvent was in custody at the suit of Mr. Langston for the sum of 14,484/., the amount of a judgment in an action of covenant on the post-nuptial settlement of deponent's wife and insol vent's daughter; that the insolvent had named as trustee Lord Glenelg, without that nobleman's sanction, who refused to act; and, consequently, .Ir. Langston, deponent's brother in-law, was the only trustee; that insolvent's daughter, on obtaining her majority, had become entitled to a fortune of about 21,0001., which had been expended by the insolvent in about two years; that 14,4801. is the amount admitted by the insolvent to be due to his daughter as part of the SUM obtained from her, and it was settled that seques tration should issue against the insolvent's living at Bylield, Northamptonshire; that the insolvent had en deavoured to avail himself of an inaccuracy to the at testation of the warrant of attorney given as collateral secu rity; that insolvent had brought a writ of error against Mr. Langston, but deponent was advised and believed that there were no grounds for it, and that it had only been brought by the insolvent for the purpose of annoyance. Mr. NICHOLLS commenced his arguments against the rule by :urging that the best evidence of the motives by which the creditor had been actuated in obtaining the vesting order, viz., his own, had not been produced. It was insinuated that King and Cooke had induced him by fraudulent representa tions to obtain the vesting order, and that be was now willing to its being annulled. The next best evidence, that of Mr. Moseley, the petitioning creditor's attorney, was not forth coming, and the whole case rested upon refined and subtle statements. The Conar intimated that the affidavits of the gentleman referred to were highly desirable. Mr. COOKE hoped tht Court would permit him to put them in now. Mr. CommissiorAr PorLoat said the insolvent knew what he had averted,, and should have been prepared to support his etatelne'4t. The affidavit of Mr. Thurmott and Mr. Moseley could not be received now. ' The Learned CHIEF Co3tsfISSIONER expressed his opinion that th e a b sence of these a ffi davits was conclusive, an d CQU yelled the Court to dismiss the rule. Mr. C omm _issioner PoLLocic concurred. o ll 9applied for costs from the estate. Mr. Commissioner POLLOCK. said the Court could not forget that Mr. Thurmott had been set in motion by a atad that all the detaining c re di tors except ML:nraes person, willing that the vesti ng or d er should. be rescinded. g tma were Buie discharged. Costa refused. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday, John Bannister and Bentham Fabian, the parties charged with the forgery of railway scrip, were again placed at the bar for re-examination. Mr. Alderman GIBBS having taken his seat, the case Against the prisoners was called on. Mr. Clarkson said he had to ask for a further remand of the prisoners for some days, in order to complete certain inquiries now in progress. Mr. Doane said Mr. Richards was in attendance, and ready to give all the information in his power. Mr. Clarkson was aware of that, but, as counsel for the prosecution, he was not at present ready to proceed with the case. He should be able to prove that a press for printing had been found on the premises of the pri soner Fabian, in Gower-place, and should call a gentleman who printed the bona Jide scrip of the Buckinghamshire, Oxford, Bletchley, and Junction Railway, with the London and Birmingham Railway, who would prove that the scrip now produced, was spurious, and a forgery. Another ground for a re mand was, that the secretaryTof the company could not possibly attend to , day. If the examination was post poned for a short period, it was expected most important evidence would be obtained, not only as related to the prisoners individually, but as affecting other parties whom it was unnecessary to name. He thought, fur the purposes of public justice, that a remand was absolutely t ecessary, and th ere f ore h e as k e d the worthy Aldermano postpone the inquiry until Tuesday week, the 2d of June. The prisoners would not be inconvenienced by a remand, as they could not possibly be tried durin g t h e present sessions of the Criminal - Court, the gran d j ury haying been discharged this morning. The Learned Counsel called Daniel Forester, the officer, who, having been sworn, evidencel relating to said, I am engaged in co n the charge against the prisoners, goner Fabian's residence, No• 42 , Gosweaer;hl d the pH there found a printing-press, which was constructed for fo emboasing the borders of cards and oth er documents, ir have every reason to suppose, that if th e prisoners are remanded for a few days I shall be able to obtain fur ther important evidence. Mr. Ballantine said, the next session of the Cri m i na l _ _ _ , nday, the 15th of June, and . 141V11614 1 ila idiculd not ob. a l *if) -iejen h. l l 7 *' t /P/474; G, - ; jest to a remand, if his learned friend told him he should then b. prepared to go to trial. Mr. Clarkson—Yes, certainly. Mr. Ballantine—Then, as it is impossible to try the case at the present session, it will be to the personal com fort of the prisoners that they should be remanded ; but he trusted that there would be no unnecessary delay in proceeding with the inquiry. Mr. ALDERMAN GIBBS (addressing Mr. Clarkson) said—Do you not ask for rather a long remand ? Mr. Clarkson—Why, Sir, it will save expense and trouble to all parties, for if an earlier day is named it is possible the case would not be ready to be proceeded with. Mr. Samuel Ebbs, printer, was then called. He said— I printed the scrip of the Buckinghamshire, Oxford, and Bletchley Railway Company. The scrip now produced was not printed by me. I unhesitatingly pronounce it to be a forgery. Mr. Ballantine—l dare say, Sir, that you have printed a great quantity of scrip lately ? Witness—Yes, Sir, I have. Mr. Clarkson—And no doubt the printing of scrip was valuable to you. Witness—Of course it was a souree of profit.—(Laughter.) Mr. Doane—l do not suppose you would like to take it back again at prime cost.—(Laughter.) Mr. Ballantine stated that a number of papers and bills of exchange had been found at the residence of the prisoner Fabian, which had nothing to do with the pre sent charge, and were not required for the purposes of the prosecution ; he suggested that they might be given up, as it would be necessary to present the bills for payment on their arriving at maturity. Mr. Clarkson thought the documents had better re main in the hands of Inspector Waller, who might give the necessary notice when the bills became due. sm l i n th src payn Inspector Waller said the bill for 1701., payable at. and Smith' s , was d u l y presente d l ast week, but it had not been paid; he was informed that the company on which it was drawn were about winding up their affairs, and offered los. in the pound for the liabilities. He had not, however, since then heard any thing further on the subject. The LORD MAYOR ordered the inspector to keep charge of the money and bills for the present. The prisoners were then remanded until Tuesday, the 2d of June, and immediately afterwards removed to the Compter in custody. STEAMBOAT REouLATIoNs.—The captains of no less than thirty-five of the river steam-boats appeared before Alder man Gibbs, who sat for the Lord Mayor, to answer infor mations issued at the instance of the Watermen's and Lightermen's Company, wherein they were charged with acting as commanders without being licensed by the said Company. These proceedings were a preliminary step to enforcing the bye-laws recently passed by the Corporation for the regulation of steam-boats, particularly to prevent the over-crowding which has long been deemed so dangerous to the public. When all commanders of steam-boats shall have been duly licensed, the boats must also be licensed to carry only a certain number of passengers, according to measurement. There appeared, in support of the informations, Mr. Cooper (firm of Clark and Cooper), solicitor to the Watermen's and Lighhtermen's Company; and for the defence, the solicitors for the respective steam-boat companies, viz., the London and Westminster (wooden boats), Waterman, Citizen, Eagle and Falcon (Gravesend); the Putney, Old Woolwich, Chel sea (iron beats); and Diamond (Gravesend) Steam-boat Companies. The first five companies have signified their in tention of taking out licenses, twenty one of the informs. tions, as against them, were not proceeded with. The solicitor for the Gravesend Diamond Company said that their steam-boats had now been established many years, and had given great satisfaction to the public, who had not complained or called for the bye-laws, which were therefore not necessary. Similar remarks having been made by Mr. Catterns for the Old Woolwich Company, and all having intimated that they should appeal against any conviction, the evidence in the cases was taken pro formd, and the captains of the four teen boats, viz., the Cricket (penny boat), Moonlight, Day light, Matrimony, Bride, Bridegroom, Bridemaid, Wedding Ring, and Bachelor (Chelsea i ron boats); the Ariel, Sylph and Fairy (Woolwich); the Rainbow (Putney); and the Diamond (Gravesend), were each fined 405., and costs. The Cricket only paid the fine; for all the others notice of appeal was given. This will have the effect of deferring the carrying out of the bye-laws for nearly two months longer, as the next London Sessions will not be held till the 9th of July. The case excited great general interest, and the Court was much crowded throughout, particularly with those connected with the steam and other navigation of the river. GUILDHALL. John Spence, who lately carried on the business of a book. seller in Holywell-street, Strand, was brought before Sir P. Laurie for further examination, for being in possession of stolen goods, and not accounting satisfactorily for them. Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Joyce, a barrister, defended the prisoner. Mr. Robinson stated the nature of the case. The Govern ment printed the Nautical Almanac, for the use of naviga. tors, three years in advance. The almanac for the year 1848 was commenced in August, 1844, and the printing cf it was completed in the December of that year. Messrs. Clowes, of Stamford-street, printed all the Government work, and of 10,000 copies of the almanac they had issued only 1,500. Mr. Cope, of St. Martin's-lane, contracted to bind the whole number, and to deliver them to the Government publisher, Mr. Murray, of Albemarle-street. It having been ascer tained that 16 copies of the almanac had been sold at an auction of pawnbroker's pledges for less than the cost price, inquiry was made, five of the copies were recovered, and were found to have been stolen from the printing-office. This was ascertained by the style of binding, which was unlike that adopted by Mr. Cope. The stock at the printers' was then counted, and a deficiency of more than 40 was disco covered. The pawnbroker who had sent them to the auction was next applied to, and he pointed out the prisoner as the pawner. The prisoner's account was that he purchased them of a stranger in the way of business. Mr. Attenborough, the pawnbroker in Fleet-street, iden tified the prisoner as having pawned sixteen copies of the almanac in three parcels in January and February, 1845. He lent him 9s. on four copies, and 12s. on six copies. He believed the five copies produced were the same, from their general appearance, but he had put no mark on them. Cross-examined by Mr. Joyce—He knex the prisoner, and had employed him to bind books. In April, 1846, he sent the sixteen copies to be sold by auction. When the prisoner used the name of Cole as the pawner it could nut have been for purposes of concealment. Charles Assam, foreman to the bookbinder, proved that the tire copies were not part of the 1,500 that had been bound for tree publisher. Daniel Phipps, from Messrs. Clowes's, deposed to missing forty copies from the stock. Cross- examined by Mr. Joyce—Did not send out any copies in sheets to reviewers prior to publication. Never sold any copies at the printing-office, or delivered any on the publisher's order to aay person or to any other book binder than the one who contracted with the Stationery -office to bind the whole. Sir P. LADAIE said he knew it must be the practice to send copies to reviewers before publication, because the re view and publication sometimes appeared together. Mr. Phipps said the almanac presented no materials for a reviewer. Mr. Joyce said his client purchased the books in the ordi nary course of his trade, and dealers in second-hand books were not to be expected to make personal inquiries how their customers came possessed of the works, or even as to the accu racy of the names and addresses they gave. Persons who were reduced to sell their plate or their watches to a silver smith, or their books at a bo, , k-stall, were not to be expected to give their real address very readily, and the shoploeper must be satisfied with general appearances where the goods themselves presented no ground of suspicion. Sir P. LAUILLE said that might be a fair observation as t o the sale of a spoon, but the book had the publi.she. i r' s address on the face of it, and there was no difficulty ' m maki ng in quiry at the proper place. Here was the ',.,' - efendant in pos session of stolen copies of a new work :mmediately after the publication, and disposing of them ypawning them for less than half their price. He was P ot satisfied with the prisoner's upon himself to discharge him. account, and should not tee f larther inquiry, and he therefore cora -1 It was a fit case for witted the prisoner . for receiving stolen goods. BOW- STREET. Joh* g r oort a cab-proprietor, was charged with stealing a %Inv:, for 1001. from the pocket of a young mai named Wine, a clerk to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The complainant stated that he was returning from the Union Bank, with the cheque in his pocket, when he felt some one treading on his heels. He immediately felt for his pocket-book, but it was gone. This occurred in Duncannon- I street, West Strand. He looked round, and saw t h e prisoner walking towards the Lowther Arcade, while another young man, who had been with him, took a different direction. Witness followed the prisoner into the Adelaide Gallery, and there gave him into the custody of a policeman. The prisoner said he knew nothing at all of the occur ranee. He was a very respectable man, and had twenty five cabs and horses. He had just sent for his friends, and "Master Ballantine," whom he had no doubt would be in court presently, if his worship would wait. The two constables who brought the prisoner to the station-house proved that he had offered them money, with oat, however, assigning any reason for so doing. isr t . r.JAis f :r f emand e d him , to Tuesday. „ Wine, alias Farmer Cook, he was brought before the London June, 1845. .‘l..rt.ller examination, charged with stealing gs from the Gravesend Post-office, in Mr. Pelleock attended for the solicitor, defended the prisoner. Post-off '' and Mr. Lewis, 'sir. Wm. 11. Waller stated, that he was clerk in the banking -house of Hill s , M c ß ae, and Co., of Gravesend,ou. the 26th June, 1845, on w hi c h day he wrote a letter, ad. dressed to the Commercial Bank, Lothbury. He inclosed seven bills of exchange for 1,259/. 2s. 6d., a cheque for 100/., and four 20/. notes of the Canterbury bank,—the numbers of which were 742,.744, 743, and 746. He sealed the letter, and then posted it at Gravesend, between seven and nine in the evening. The three notes now produced are unques tionably the same, thair numbers being 742, 744, and 746. On the following morning he ascertained in London that the letter had not reached its destination. Mr. Charles S. Combes, postmaster of Gravesend, deposed that the letter spoken of by the last witness should have reached London by the mail-bag leaving Gravesend at two o'clock in the morning. The bag containing the letters was sealed at half-past eleven. The letter produced by the last witness, and addressed to the Commercial Bank, bears the Gravesend post-mark of June 26, 1845. The mail-bags for tpheeptthforrede and Dartfordestrappedvfe made togetherer p a s usual.at the He then time , then placed t them h upone ststreet - e d o fl o o r o , r i t in b e t i h n e g p a c i a s s a t g o e m , a ry leading f ofrom for the the m the Ili mail-guard o ce to call at two o'clock in the morning to receive them. The guard obtained them by ringing a bell, upon which latch hth ch e servant inside pulled a wire communicating with the of the street-door, and let him in. At one o'clock witness saw the bags safe in the passage. At about a quarter past two in the morning witness heard the house-bell ring, and was informed that the three mail-bags were missing from the lobby or passage, when the guard arrived for them. Did not see the bags again till the Bth of the following September, when they were discovered at No. 4, Gravesend, many of the letters being still in them, unopened. Others were open, strewed upon the door Upwards of 100 were left unopened. The letter produced was among them, having been placed, to witness's know ledge, in the London bag. The London letter-bill, made out by witness, and also placed in the bag, was likewise found among the letters in the London bag. Henry Everett stated that he was a letter-carrier, and was in the habit of sleeping at the Gravesend post-office for the purpose of giving out the London, Dartford, and Deptford wsavel bellic which mail-bags. They were generally called for at a quarter-past two in the morning, at which time the mail-guard pulled a arous: te l d iim . , al and, by a contrivance adopted to . him the trouble of getting out of bed, he pulled a wire 'i co lc raltu aj i h opened it. w ith the latch of the :treat-door, ahad Mr. Peacock—So that, in fact, anybody might have en tered on pulling the bell, and taken the bags. Witness—Yes but he could sometimes see the guard got the a practice bags. was not allowabl e afterhoped h e h tLaait t s at the Gravesend post-office now. Witness—Certainly not. from Dr. r. a Peacock window Mr. Lewis—Because you have now taken the precaution to lock the stable-door, the horse having been stolen. Witness resumed—He heard the Rochester mail-bags brought and left in the passage on the 26th of June, and in about ten minutes afterwards he heard the bell ring again, upon which witness pulled the wire and opened the door again. He then saw John Reese, the London mail-driver, enter the passage, and begin to arrange the bags as usual. He could see what Reese was doing from a window over the door, by sitting up in the bed. By Mr. Lewis.—His bed was situated on the ground floor, about seven yards from the passage, so that he could see who was in the passage through a glass door, there being a light over it. Examination Iresumed—Reese presently missed the Graves end bags and called up witness. They could see nothing of them, but the Chatham bags were all safe. William Maddox, of Gravesend, said that he conveyed the mail-bag from Chatham to Gravesend on the night of the 26th June last, reaching the latter office at two in the morning. On arriving there he rung the bell, as he was accustomed to do, and the door came open, and he then threw in his three bags, and lett again, shutting the door after him. When on the door steps I did not observe any other than the Sidney bag, but there might have been others upon the floor. It was not his place to look after them. John Reese, of 40, Newgate-street, London, stated that he was the driver of the Gravesend and London mail on the night of June 26th last. He reached the Gravesend Post office at a quarter past two, on the morning of the 27th, and, having rung the bell as usual, entered the passage to take possession of the Gravesend bags, which, however, were missing. He then called up Everett ; but they could not find them. Harry Jones, a clerk in the Commercial Batik, proved that the letter containing the notes did not reach the firm in the usual course, as appeared from the bank books. Mary Harle proved that the bags and letters spoken of by the postmaster were found at an empty house inEdwin-street, Gravesend, where she went to clean, and which had been un inhabited for a considerable time. George Whittick (the witness present at the former exa mination) proved that the prisoner tendered one of the 20/. Canterbury bank-notes at the shop of Sewell and Cross, the drapers, of Soho. Another witness proved the payment of one of the other notes at the shop of Fortnum and Mason, oilmen, Piccadilly, also by the prisoner ; but he admitted that he could not swear positively to his identity. Jonathan Whitcher, who apprehended the prisoner at 163, Sloane-street, Chelsea, atter having watched and followed him from several houses in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane the previous night, deposed that on accusing him of steal ing the four Canterbury notes, he said " it was all a mistake, and he was not the man." He then asked when the notes were changed. Witness replied on the 6th of April, upon which he said he could prove that he was in France at the time. He refused to give his name or address at the station house, but subsequently stated that his name was John Farmer, and that he was a glover. having no fixed residence. John Shirt, another constable, found a quantity of goods at the prisoner's house, which had been purchased by the notes produced. The prisoner was then remanded upon the above charge till Friday next. It b-ing nearly five o'clock, the other eases were also de ferred to Tuesday and Friday next. WORSHIP-STREET. An intelligent little girl, named Esther Hobson, about twelve years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with attempting to commit self destruct ion. It appeared from the evidence of a woman named Caroline Yorke, that in consequence of the prisoner's mother having some time since deserted her home and family, the witness had been induced by her father to take care of his two children, and manage his domestic affairs in her absence. This arrangement, however, appeared to have excited feel ings of great dislike in the mind of the prisoner, who was a girl of very headstrong and violent temper. and, having found it necessary on the preceding day to correct her for some misconduct of which she had been guilty, the girl became greatly excited, and exclaiming that that was the last time she should behave so towards her, instantly ran up-stairs to a closet in which two phials, containing extract of lead, and labelled " poison," were deposited. Fearing she meditated some serious mischief, the witness hastened after her, and on entering the room found the prisoner dis coloured round the mouth, with one of the bottles clasped tightly in her hand, and that she had just swallowed the whole of its contents, A surgeon was instantly sent for, and a powerful emetic administered, which had the effect of dis lodging the poison, but the prisoner had ever since been suf fering acutely from its effects ; and, as she had several times afterwards declared her determination to destroy herself at the first opportunity, the witness felt it her duty to give her into custody. The prisoner's father here stepped forward, and stated that the conduct of the girl for several weeks past had caused him the greatest discomfort and ,uneasiness, and he was appre hensive that her mind had been influenced by an elder sister, who had so misconducted herself some time since that she had been committed to the Westminster Bridewell, and died while confined there. The MAGISTRATE questioned the prisoner as to the cause of her attempting such an act, and the girl, who appeared the picture !of melancholy and wretchedness, burst into tears, and sobbing said she felt so miserable and unhappy at being kept forcibly separated from her mother, that she could not live any longer without seeing her. Mr. BROUGHTON said that the circumstances of the case were certainly of a remarkable description, as he had never before witnessed such an utter recklessness of life in so young a child, and he thought he should be acting most kindly to the prisoner herself if he sent her for a week to Bridewell, where she would be properly admonished on the heinousness of her attempt, and an opportunity would be afforded in the meantime for some arrangement being come to to obviate her continued residence at home, to which it was manifest she bad the greatest repugnance. The chill seemed pleased with this decision, and accom panied the gaoler to the cells with obvious willingness. WESTMINSTER. William Lull; alias 2111 nford, who stands charged with brutally assaulting and throwing a woman with whom he cohabited out of window, was again brought before the magistrate. It had been supposed by the prisoner's acquaintances that the extraordinary exculpatory statement made by the injured woman at the hospital on Tuesday, and which was oopo,ed to the evidence of the whole of the witnesses who had been examined, would have the effect of procuring his liberation; but they htel, however, fallen into error, as, upon the prisoner entering the dock, Mr. BURRELL informed him that he was further remanded for a fortnight. Prisoner—May I not have bail, your worship? Mr. BURRELL—I shall nut take bail. He was then removed. THE RIGHT OF REDEEMING PLEDGES —Yesterday Mr. Burrell gave his decis , on in a matter of some importance to pawnbrokers and those who are driven by necessity to their shops. The case arose out of an informati<li exhibited by Birch, a common informer, against Mr. Perkins, a pawn broker at Chelsea, charging him with taking more than the legal interest on a pledge of 3s. The article had been pledged on the 2d of January, 1845, backed at the expiration of a year for three months, and ultimately " redeemed " as the informer alleged, on the 3d of last April. The facts, save the " redemption," were not disputed, but it was contended, on behalf of the pawnbroker, that the article had become for feited, and that he was consequenly justified in selling it at any price he thought fit, and further that it could not be termed a redemption, because the time having expired in which, according to the Act of Parliament, it became for feited, the pawner had absolutely lost all right to it. The law expresply laid down the rules which should apply to pledges ahovs 10s., reserving a right to the pawner to receive any overplus which the property might fetch atter the ex penses of site, tisc., were deducted ; but there was no such proviso with reference to minor pawns, and the words clearly expressed, that unless the article under 10s., should be re deemed within the limited time it "should become forfeited, and might be sold." Mr. li ; erkins's solicitor handed an opinion of the Attorney- General to the magistrate. Its purport did not transpire ; but it must be presumed that it was favourable to their view of the matter, or it would not otherwise have been pro duced. Mr. BURRELL, after adverting to the case of Walker v. Smith, in Barnewall and Alderson's Reports (where a verdict was given against a pawnbroker in an action for trover for refusing to deliver up a gold watch and appendages, after a year and a day and a new trial moved unsuccessfully), and in which Chief Justice Abbott, Judges Bayley, Holroyd, and Best, were of opinion that a pawnbroker had no right to sell unredemed pledges after the expiration of a year from the time the goods were pledged, if the original owner tender the principal and interest due, said he did not consider the for feiture complete until the absolute sale, and up to which period the article was redeemable. As Mr. Perkins acted under the impression that he was justified, he (the Magis trate) of course should not inflict a greater penalty than 40s. Mr. Perkins's solicitor applied to have it made 31. 35., in order to give his client the power of appeal. Mr. BURRELL expressed himself most desirous of affording the defendant an opportunity of appealing, and increased the penalty as requested, in order to enable him to do so. Birch, the informer, pressed the magistrate to make it 101, as be should be put to great expense in going to the sessions on the appeal. Mr. BURRELL refused. sion, exhibit two other informations for similar against defendant, as ho should like to go to the sessions Birch then said he would, with the magisrate's with a brace of cases, lest one should break down. opffencisesenn- Mr. BURRELL refused the application. CRUEL, ne, , . II r C . 0 CLERKENWELL. ' ArPaEs l; Cone,his Camaeb-street, Islington, was charged by John JohnNpUerStoOkFenAham, MASTER a master TOWARDStaiIor, apprentice, a lad of sixteen, with an assault of a very savage nature upon him. The poor lad, whose body exhi rienssiding a t , exhi bited marks of severe personal violence, his thighs being covered with stripes, was bred in the Foundling Hospital, and bound to the defendant about two years ago, who received a premium of 10/. from that Institution. In order to encou rage good apprentices, and to prove to masters that the con ductors of the Foundling cherish a parental regard for de serving youths who are bound from it, they make presents to the boys from time to time, upon a certificate if good be haviour from the master. In this case the defendant sent the boy to the Foundling at Ea-ter with a certificate, and the boy received 15s. as a present. He had no sooner re turned than the master took the money from him and pocketed it, saying he would buy clothes for the boy with it, although by the indenture he was bound to clothe him. On Tuesday morning last, the master returned home after an absence of half an hour, and called the prosecutor to ac count for his time, saying be had done nothing during that half-hour. The lad replied he had been at breakfast. The muter thereupon took up a yard measure, and beat the boy for ten minutes with it, so as to cover his arms and thighs pe :ISTRATE said the master behaved like a trent, beaten him in a most savage manner.

RUINOUS EFFECT OF FREE TRADE.—Notwithstand ing the clamour raised against Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measures, scarcely a farm falls out of lease that is not readily relet at a consi derable advance. As a striking instance of this, we may mention that, for one of the Dumfriesshire farms of James Oswald, Esq., o f Auchencruive, now out of lease, twenty offers were received, and the farm has bees let at a rise of 33 per cot. oil the forum' re.utais—ayr asirtrA:Nr. THE SUN.. LONDON, :MONDAY,MORNING, M'AY 18, 1846. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Willam Howse, alias Howes, aged 32, was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying David Emmons. Mr Ballantine appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Huddlestons attended for the defence. It appeared that on the evening of the 22d of April a quarrel arose between some labourers, who met in the house of the prisoner in Stratford, and the deceased was dragged out of doors by a man named Lancaster, another person, named Wilcox. and the prisoner. When outside the door, the scuffling continued, and the deceased and Wilcox fell. While on the ground prisoner kicked the deceased on the nose, and the blood gushed from it. He rolled off the man Wil cox, who afterwards picked him up, and after some further strug gling, the deceased was persuaded to go home. The kick inflicted a great gash on the nose. The surgeon (Mr. Baker) attended the de ceased, but in about a week after he was attacked by lock jaw, and notwithstanding every medical attention was given, hit died. Ile would not swear that lock jaw was positively the result of the wound, but he thought it the probable cause. One witness deposed that some time before the quarrel the prisoner threatened to injure the deceased by fair means or foul. Mr. Jusiice COLTMAN intimated that there was no case for the jury, and the prisoner was discharged. ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.— William Regan, an Irish absentee of a peculiarly forbidding aspect, was placed at the bar, charged with feloniously wounding Francis White, a policeman, while he was hi the execution of his duty. _ _ Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Baldwin attended for the defence. Francis White, 103 H, said that on the night of the 19th of April he heard a cry in New street, Whitechapel, and on running there he found the prisoner, who was beating constable 185. The prisoner had a policeman's staff in his hand, and when witness went in to his companion's rescue, he received a blow frown behind with a staff, which stunned him and caused the blood to flow profusely. He re covered, and received a second blow from the prisoner on the fore head, which struck him down insensible. When he recovered he found himself leaning against some area railings, and heard the pri soner say to some of his friends, " Throw the b- over the rail ings." The prisoner was taken into custody, and witness was sup ported to the station-house. He was afterwards under the care of the surgeon for nearly three weeks. He was positive that the blow on the brow was struck by the prisoner. He could not say who struck the first blow on the side of his head. Police-constable 198 H said, that on the night in question there was a great disturbance in Sugar-loaf-court, Commercial-street, Cain mercial-road. He went there to quell it, and took a man named Dennis Ragan into custody. When iu New-street, the prisoner was attempted to be rescued, and two policemen (ene of whom was the last witness, White) Canis to his assistance. He saw White struck by a man named Sullivan in the first instance, and also a blow given by the prisoner on the forehead. Both blows were struck with a policeman's truncheon. Mr. BALDWIN, leaving addressed the jury for the prisoner, Mr. Baron ALDaaseN summed up, and the jury, after retiring for some time, returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty. Dennis Regan, William Regan (the last prisoner), ..foAn While, and John Sullivan, were placed at the bar, charged with assaulting other constables on the same evening. The evidence adduced was nearly similar to that brought forward in the last case. Mr. Baldwin, tor three of the prisoners, and Mr. O'Brien for Sulli van, addressed the jury. Mr. Baron ALDERS6N summed up, and The jury returned a verdict of Guilty in each of the cases. The COURT sentenced William Regan and John Sullivan each to imprisonment with hard labour for two years. and Dennis Regan and John White each to one year's imprisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before Alderman FAMMBHOTHEA and the COMMON SERGEANT.) Rich - ells and Daniel Johnson, two young 'pea, aged about 18, were indicted for stealing [9 live tame fowls, the property of Wil. Liam Leeson, Brixton. Mary Bishop, servant to the prosecutor, saw the fowls on the afternoon of the 13th of April, all safe and well ; but, about nine o'clock the same evening a policeman called at the house, and, in consequence •f what he said, she went out to examine the hen house, and found it empty, and all the fowls gone. The witness identified two of the fowls produced in Court as the property of her master. George Weston, policeman, said he was on duty about nine o'clock that night, and saw the prisoners come out of Leeson's premises, Ricketts with a bag under his arm, and Johnson with a bag on his shoulder. Ile suspected them, and followed both and took them into custody ; when, in the bag which Ricketts carried, were found eight fowls, and seven in that carried by Johnson, besides two fowls in the arms of each. They were both found guilty, and Ricketts was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, and hard labour ; and as Johnson had been ct,nvicted before for a like offence, he was sentenced to one year's im prisonment, and hard labour. John Edwards and John Botsford, were placed at th• bar, indicted for stealing 5 his. of lead, the property of William Cubitt and Co., the masters of Botsford. Mr. Cubitt's foreman said, in consequence of suspicion excited in his mind, by hearing that something not right was going on, he went down on Saturday morning, the 19th April, to the Privy Council buildings, Downing-street, and about seven o'clock saw Botsford un lock the door, and let the prisoner Edwards out, when he had them both taken into custody. There was a piece of lead 50 lbs. weight, that produced in Court, found on the person of Edwards, inside his truws, rs, and bound to his person by a t.ody bolt Police-constable 182 A, corroborated the foreman's evidence. Botsford, when taken into custody, said, " This comes of being per suaded." The jury found a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Edwards was sentenced to four months and Botsford to nine months' imprisonment, and hard labour. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS DECLARED. _ H.
