TRANSFER OF LICENCES. ST. ANNE'S, WESTMINSTER. At a special session for the district of Soho, held on Saturday (present, James Whiskin, Esq., Chairman, and Thomas Russell, Esq.), the following transfers of licenses took place:—Dean-street, Soho: Green Man and French Horn, from Edward Stone to Charles Cutting—Greek street: George and Dragon, from Mary Anne Page to James Norton—Hayes-court: Geneva Arras, from Robert Tibbatt to Walter Wightman—Little Compton-street: Conch and Horses, from Robert Seaton to George Sandy —Lisle-street: Prince of Wales, f rom Louisa Meunier to Henry Bingham—Maccles fi eld-street : Horse and Dolphin, from David Moyniham to Isaac Pye—Moor street: Three Tuns, from Robert Willey to Thomas Nar riott—Princes-street: Falcon, from John Brook Haynes to James Frederick Tindall. The above were the whole of the applications ma le for transfers, and none of the cases called for any special re mark from the magistrates, further than the requirement on the part of the authorities that the parties above en trusted with licences should conduct their houses in strict accordance with the provisions of the law. The magistrates then separated, there being no further business to transact on behalf of the parish. FINSBURY DISTRICT. On Saturday, a special session was holden at the Session House, Clerkeawell, before Messrs. Wilkes and Warner, the magistrates for several purposes, when the following public-house property changed hands: — The Welsh Harp, in Aylesbury-street, from Alfred Poole to John Attley ; Apple Tree, Dorrington-street, from William Henry Young to rilliam Brown ; the Bull's Head, Peter-street, from Mary Martin to Thomas Williams ; the Cart and Horses, Turnmill-street, from Henry Cross to Charles Leverge • the Gun, St. John street, from Thomas Shirley to john Sawyer ; White Hart, Myddleton-street, from Isaac Jeans to John Bowdy ; Horse and groom, Turnmill street, from John Bower to Daniel Newman ; Lamb and Flag, Clerken well-green, from Edward Thomas Phinn to John Bradley ; Hemingford Arms, Hemingford-road, from William Harris to Reuben James Huntley ; Nightingale, Hornsey-road, from Joseph Archdeacon to Richard Allen ; Oxford Arms, Oxford-street, New North-road, from William Moody to John Thornett ; the Dolphin, Old-street, from James Walker Ready to John Henry Spear ; the Red Lion, City-road, from Thomas Henry Brown to Sarah Smith. STRAND UNION. On Saturday the following transfers or lionises took place at the Strand Petty Sessions, before Messrs. Graham (Chairman), and George Cow dray : Bull's Head, Vere- street; Clare-market, from Mr. G. Davis to Mr. Michael Alengan ; Castle, Portugal-street, from Mr. Wm. Ford to Mrs. Mary Field ; Crown and Still, Clare-street, from Mr. James Aimeroth to Mr. Thomas Hetherington ; Fountain, Clare street, from Mr. Wm. Dousbery to Mr. Henry Elraes ; Grapes. No. 109, Drury- lane, from Mr. Wm. Neat to Mr. Daniel Cold man, late of the Cloudesley Arms, Cloudesley-terrace, Islington ; Pavilion, Newcastle-street, from Mr. Fred. Newhouse to Mr. G. Baldwin • Old George, Stanhope street, Clare-market, from Mr . John Hooper Staines to Mr. Wm. Bradley ; Nag's Head, James-street, Covent garden to Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, administratrix to iier late husband ; Bell, Exeter-street, Strand, from Mr. E. Rine to Mr. W. Evans ; Red Lion, Houghton-street, Clare market ; the late proprietor, Mr. W. Meades, not being present, in consequence c f being in the debtors' prison, Whitecross-street, the Chairman objected to grant the transfer, stating that it was a principle he al ways adopted, and which was always followed out at other sessions, not to grant a transfer in the absence of the individual who was about to part with his house, as the Bench must always be satisfied as to the facts of the case. Inspector Cogan observed that the police maxis. traces always had similar objections. Licence refused. NOVEL APPLICATION.-Alr. Moseley, vestry clerk of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, attended on be half of several licensed victuallers carrying on business in Bow-street and its vicinity, soliciting the interference of the Bench to prevent Mr. Humphreys, proprietor of an hotel opposite the Grapes, Bow-street, from publicly selling gin and spirits. He stated that the former land lord, Mr. Jackson, who had parted with the house and interest of the business to Mr. Humphreys, when he ob tained his licence, pledged his word that he would only sell gin and other spirits to persons who were in the habit of dining and lodging at his house. He (Mr. Moseley) was informed that in the alterations which were now in progress it was intended to construct the premises so as to be able to sell to out-door customers. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that a pledge entered into by the former proprietor was not binding on the present occupier. Mr. Roach, transferring clerk, said that Mr. Hum phrey formerly conducted La Ville de Paris Hotel, in the Haymarket, and carried on the business of a well known house in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. The CHAIRMAN stated that the case was out of the jurisdiction of the Bench, and that when a renewal of the application for the licence was made at the granting of licences. the attention of the Bench might be called to it. If Mr. Humphreys persisted he must abide by the consequences. HIGHWAYS AND RAILWAYS. In the very interesting report on " Railway Acts Enactments," some useful information is given respect ing Highways and Railways, which has a direct bearing at the present time. The report states, "the roads of a country, from the very nature of things, are public con cerns ; they are as necessary to a people as the air they breathe. The very nature of society implies that men should have access to each other for the supply of their respective wants, whether they live in towns or are scat tered over the face of a country ; and the common sense of mankind tells them that the roads and streets should be free from obstruction. In this country, from the re motest times, the title of the Sovereign as representing the nation, to the control of it; roads has always been allowed. The designation of 'King's Highways,' by which the public roads were known, sufficiently indicates the right which the Crown possessed aid exercised over them. The practice of intrusting to associations locally in terested, the making and repairing of roads, with the power of levying tolls to repay the outlay required for that purpose, which first became general towards the middle of the last century, amounted merely to a delega tion fora time by the Legislature, on certain conditions, of a portion of the powers of Government to saeoe a public exigency, but never to a permanent transfer of them. The public has always posses;ed the right to control the trustees, and to withdraw from them the manalement of the highways included in their trusts, and there are repeated instances in our own time, of tho exercise of this right." Further on in the Report, the Committee declare, " But of all the means of communi cation between different parts of a country, that by rail ways is by far the most important. If it be necessary for the public welfare that a country should never divest itself in perpetuity of its right of property in its ordinary highways, it is still more important that it should not pati with the right to control its railways; on an ordinary road there could have been no monopoly of the means of con veyance; a man might travel,by it at all hours, and in any manner he pleased; but on a railway he can only travel at such time, and under such arrangements, as those who are intrusted with its direction may choose to adopt. If one coach on a road charged too much, travelled at too slow or too quick a rate, or failed in one respect to give satisfaction, another might have been started ; but on railways there is no option ; the pas senger must either submit to the regulations fixed by its directors, or abstain from using it! It has now been ascertained that the hope of relief from the objection able course pursued on one railroad, by having recourse to a compe ting Imp, must in a great measure be aban doned. It is confidently stated by nearly all the wit nesses examined by your Committee that the public can not count on being relieved by competition from the con sequences of an abusive exercise of the power on the part of railway companies. From the very nature of things, therefore, a railway company exercises a com plete monopoly ; but a monopoly subject:to no responsi bility, and under no efficient check or control, is neces sarily an intolerable abuse, and it can only be rendered innoxious by subjecting it to a rigorous control and supervision." CIIERTSEY.—EXTRAORDINARY LASE.—Mr. John Smith, farmer of New Haw, in the parish of Chertsey, was brought up on Wednesday week last, before J. I. Briscoe, Esq., chairman ; the Hon. G. J. Cavendish, Captain Prescott, and R. W. Edgell, Esq., charged with having on the 29th ult., followed and taken game with a dog and gun, he not having a game certificate, and for alike offence on the 31st. Mr. (inns, of Essex street, Strand, attended on his behalf, and tie case created a very great interest, the room being crowded. Henry Baker deposed that he was assistant gamekeeper to Messrs. Summer and Sparkes, and that on the day named he saw the defendant in hi s t urn i p field, near New Haw ; he had a dog and gun with him, and was beating down the field. He saw the dog point, and almost immediately afterwards heard a gua fired, and heard the defendant say " Dead !" He saw a partridge. He also saw Mr. smith load his gun, and pick something up, which he put into his pocket ; he could not see what it was. Defendant then went away. Could not say the exact distance he was from Mr. Smith ; it might have been forty, fifty, sixty, or one hundred yards. Ridger was then called—Knew Mr. Smith ; recollected the 29th October. On Saturday he was at work on part of the plantation, when Baker came to him about half-past four, and asked him if he had heard a gun go off at that time ? He replied in the negative. Baker then said, "Do you see them men yonder?" He replied " yes, and that they appeared to be at work." He asked him if he could see if one was Smith? He said he could not. Baker then said he saw Smith shoot on Thursday, and asked him if he could swear one of the men (pointing to the direction of Mr. Smith's house) was the defendant? He said he could not. He asked him why he could not swear it was him on Thursday? and the reply was that he was too far off to speak positively. He then said if he would go and swear he was eighty yards off, the magistrates would not know any difference. It was quite a mist all the 29th, and he was at work near the plantation, but did not hear any shooting the whole of the day. He was unable to see more than eighty yards. Mr. Binns having again addressed the Court,the Bench, after a short consultation dismissad the case. .T ci hesecon case was then proceeded with. Baker was sworn, and stated most positively that on the day in question, he saw the defendant in the plantation at the rear of his d 0,.,,• that he fi re d a t a h are, b e i ng at t h at time not more than twelve yards from him ; and that both dog and hare passed within five yards of him. The dog was a light-coloured pointer ; the defendant and himself saw each other, b did not speak.—James Moss swore positively that his e m y m a i ster, the defendant, was not absent from his sight three during the whole of the day.—Ridger was again call'eursa heardswore that he Bucks ati a at zot rat es was working near the spot, and that h . el l on the 31st. The case was dismissed, the no firing beinr , equally divided in their opinion AWHALE.—A very large whale ran ashore netr Poolewe some days ago, and fell an easy prey to the villagers. It was upwards of sixty feet in length, and yielded several tons of oil.—Laerness Courier. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BIRMINGHAM WAY AND OXFORD JUNCTION RA. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY NIGHT.—TIII3 afternoon an extraordinary meeting of the above-named company was held at Dee's Royal Hotel, in this town, for the purpose of considering and of ratifying an agreement en tered into between the directors of the Great Western Railway Company of the one part, and the directors of the Oxford and Birmingham Junction, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railways of the other part, for the sale to the Great Western Rail way Company of the undertakings of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railways. Philip Henry Muni; Eq., the Chairman of the Birmingham and Oxford, occupied the chair. Among the propri.tors present were Lord Ha therton, Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. Lawrence Hey worth of Liverpool ; Mr. Saunders, the Secretary of the Great Western; Mr. Bennett, of Liverpool; Mr. Moseley, Mr. Banks, of London, &c.; but the meeting was, considering the importance of the object for which it was convened, very thinly attended. The CHAIRMAN very briefly opened the business of the meeting. It was called to confirm the negotiations of the directors with the directors of the Great Western Railway Company, and in conformity with resolutions which the proprietors of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction had adopted at a meeting held in that room some few weeks since. The Chairman then read the correspondence which had taken place between Mr. Rue sell, the Chairman of the Great Western Railway Com pany, and Mr. Glyn, the Chairman of the North-Western Railway, the substance of which will be found in our report of the meeting of the Great Western Company held yesterday. The reading of the correspondence excited several ironical cheers. The CHAIRMAN then called upon the secretary to read the draft of the agreement between the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Company and the Great Western. It was as follows: " 1. The capital of the united company to be 1,700,000/. " 2. The Great Western to pay 10Z 541. premium on every 201. share; payable within six months after the finishing of the line. " 3. If the line be not made before the Ist January, 1850, the premium to be duo on the Ist of July, 1850; if not paid then, interest at the rate of 5 per cent to be allowed. ` 4. Five per cent. interest to be allowed on calls duly paid; (four per cent. on calls paid by anticipation. " 5 and 6. The Great Western to find any additional , capital that may be required, and the board of that f company to have effectual control of the management." The CHAIRMAN begged leave to move that the agree- ment be confirmed. Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, of Liverpool, in second ing the resolution, referred to the principle upon which Parliament had granted the Act for the formation of the Birmingham and Oxford line—that of its being a com peting line to the London and North Western—and con tended that Parliament would never stultify itself by allowing its amalgamation, as proposed, with that great monopoly►. A competing line between the manufacturing and mining population of Staffordshire and Lancashire, while it increased traffic and increased profits, would at the same time insure better accommodation and lower rates of fare to the public. Mr. G. TURNER contended that the present meeting did not fairly represent the opinions and feelings of the shareholders, and that the further consideration of the question ought to be postponed. The certificates of a large number of shareholders had not been issued, and the consequence was, they were not able to vote. The directors had behaved honestly in the matter. He con cluded by moving an amendment to the effect, that in consequence of a large number of certificates not being issued, this meeting be adjourned until the 14th of January. The Cnsinstsx said, the Hon. Proprietor was bound, he thought, to recal the word dishonest. There was no trick in withholding the certificates. It was found im possible to prepare them. Every scripholder might at all times have had access to the transfer-book, and the transfer being entered, he would have had the right of voting. A long, and,:at some periods, an angry conversation followed. Mr. MOSELEY contended that the meeting had not power, by their Act, under the present circumstances of the case, to sell their line to the Great Western. Their proceedings that day, if they determined upon so doing, would be null and void. After arguing to this effect for a great length of time, he announced, upon the authority of a letter from Mr. Glyn, that the London and North Western Company were prepared to offer them 15/. pre mium upon each 20/. share, 5/. to be paid on the passing of the Act, 5L in six months afterwards, and 51. on the opening of the line. He contended that an adjournment, while it could do no harm, would afford time for every shareholder to give his opinion upon the subject. He supported tha amendment. The CuatassiN observed, that if they were to wait for the first Si. until after the passing of the Act for the amalgamation of the Birmingham and Oxford with the North-Western, they would have to wait for a pretty long period. The amendment being put to the vote, it was lost by a majority of 21 to 12 votes. Mr. BENNETT, of Liverpool, then moved the following amendment upon the original motion : " That the Birmingham and Oxford line be sold to the Great Western Railway Company on payment of 151. premium on each share of 201. Payment to be made within six months after the completion and opening of the line. The railway to be completed by the Ist Jan., 1849, or the premium to be considered due, the Ist of July, 1849. All the capital to be called up by or before the last-named date. On the Ist of January proprietors to decide whether they will be paid off or receive com pensation bearing four-and-a-half percent. interest, for three, five, or seven years. In case of partial opening of the line being required by the Great Western Railway Company before the Ist of January, 1849, the premium to become due within six months after such partial open ing. Interest five per cent. on call, and four per cent. on anticipated calls." Mr. TURNER seconded the amendment, which was op posed by Mr. Ban Low, one of the directors of the Great Western Company, Mr. SPOONER, and Lord HATHERTON, who observed, that all men of busi ness must see that there was no intention on the part of the North-Western to carry out the offer they had made. Indeed, they knew that Parliament would not sanction it. For his own part he was never inclined to join the North-Western—his feeling had always been in favour of a junction with the Great Western, and he believed the directors had done their best to make for them a satisfactory arrangement. He (Lord Hatherton) might state as strong conclusive proof that the shareholders were in favour of the sale when he memtioned that 20,000 proxies had been lodged in favour of it, and none against it. The CHAIRMAN decided that the second amendment did not come within the terms and objects of the meet ing, and the original resolution was then passed. Thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY RAILWAY. A meeting of the proprietors of this company was then held, William Matthews, Esq., in the chair, when the terms of the agreement above stated, were approved unanimously. . AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON, AND EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY. NOTTINGHAM, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST FOUR, P.M.—A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Nottingham, at which the seal of the company was agreed to, and authorised to be fixed to the register of shareholders. The principal features of the meeting were the statements of the negotiations with the Eastern Counties, the North-Western, and the Midland Counties Companies for the sale of the line, none of which were brought to bear. The company have consequently de termined to execute the lino themselves. ROUEN AND HAVRE.—An engine ran the whole length of this line, for the first time, on Sunday last, and on the following day the employes were conveyed by train to their respective posts. There can now, there fore, be no doubt that the railway, which will so much facilitate the intercourse between this country and the French capital, and against the opening of whieh so many unforeseen occurrences have happened, will be ready for public traffic in a few days, as previously an nounced. WEXFORD AND VALENTIA.—A call has been made by the directors, who, it is understood, will be personally answerable for the payment of the deposits, the exp•nses of last year having swallowed up the greater part of the money subscribed. THE SOUTH DEVON.—It has been determined (says our correspondent), at a recent meeting of the directors of this and the associated companies, to purchase Mill hay Pier, belonging to Thomas Gill, Esq., the chairman of the South Devon Company, for the purposes of the Plymouth and Great Western Dock scheme. The sem to be give n f ur t h e p i er i s 30,000 1 ., o f w hi c h th e S ou th D evon is to contribute, if the shareholders agree, one half,offi Companies the ,s7, G so 7 . t ea W ch e . ste T rn his and ar th ra e ng ß e ri m st e o n i t an h d as Exete c ceca sioned considerable ill-feeling in the board, and on Sa turday last two of the directors, who reside at PI) mouth, William Hawker, Esq., an d Willi am Fox, Esq., sent in their resignations. The sh are h o ld ers are at p r esent very much dissatisfied with the state of things in connexion with this line. It is now confidently <tated that the line will be opened from Teignmouth to Newton on the 22d of this month. NNW LOCOMOTIVE MECRANISM.—On Friday a work ing model of a new plan of railway locomotion was ex hibited in Old Broad-street, with a view, as stated, to the aeoption of means for securing the great objects at which railway enterprise aims, namely, safety to human life, certainty of action, and economy in construction and working. By the new plan the carriages are pro posed to he built upon platforms which will glide on the peripheries of parallel lines of wheels, mounted on chains, stanchions, or piles —rendering rails and bridges unnecessary. An immovable rope or chain forms a ful crum, against which the motive power is to be applied. The rope or chain passes round a drum fixed on a tra velling platform, the drum being set in motion by a small engine fixed on either side of it, on the platform, urderneath which ribs, or flanges, about a foot in depth, make it difficult if not impossible for it to -get off the wheels. The line of traction being invariably in the middle of the road, it is contended that no probable cause of accident can occur to disturb it, and that it will avoid the great danger incident to railways from the breaking of an axle, a wheel, or a rail, or from a sharp curve. An experimental road, of about a mile in length, is to be constructed near the metropolis. DEPOSITS OF PLANS FOR NEW LINES FOR ESSEX. Monday last was the day for depositing the plans for the next session of Parliament. The first test Of stability and perfection was thus applied to the new schemes, and we find that those connected with this county have borne it well. Notices have been given in our paper of thirty three applications for new Bills; but several ot . theses ; were for cunfirmi - T the lease or sale of lines for which Acts are already obtained, as in the sale of the Maldon, Witham, and Braintree, to the Eastern Counties, and for these it was not necessary to make any deposits. Many, including ten of the more northern exten.ionG of the Eastern Counties, did not propose to • interfere with property in this county, and therefore it was mot neces sary to make lodgments with the clerk of the pesee for the county of Essex. Of the remainder, the plans of the following were deposited at his office at Chelms ford 1. Braintree to Halsted—The Branch from the Brain tree and Witham, to join the Stour Valley, at Colne Engaine. 2. Braintree to Halsted—A line which, we presume, has been started to meet the objections which the in habitants of Halsted have to the junction of the other line with the Stour Valley away from the town of Colne Engaine. 3. Ilford to Tilbury Fort and Southend, with a Branch to Battles-bridge—ln the case of a similar Bill, with a branch from Vange to Wickford, the plans have not been deposited. 4. Branch from Stortford to Victoria Park. 5. Enlargement of London and Stratford stations. I. Coal and Coasting Dock Junction.—The plan for converting Dagenham Reach into a dock. 7. Purchase on lease of North Woolwich Railway, East and West India Docks, &c. . 8. Branch from Manningtree to Harwich. 9. Chelmsford to Norwich, with Branch to Halsted. 10. London and South Essex —The line from Black wall to Southend and the Crouch. 11. Colchester and Stour Valley Branch to Melford, Lavenham, and Clare. 12. London and Southend.—The Branch from Hutton. 13. Ipswich and Bury Branch from Stowmarket to Sudbury. 14. Harwich and Eastern Counties Junction Railway and Pier.—To join the Eastern Union at Ardleigh. The lines for which the plans have not been deposited, and which cannot therefore go before Parliament next session, are those connected with the Thames Haven scheme, the Victoria Docks and Railway, and Manning tree and Mistley Branch.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

Ltiw INTFILL“-ENcE VICE CRAW7I:%I' r 7 0 ,7; (B ,re -Ch 1 •11 J. • it,rt.tm WINTER V WINTER . 5 This cause came before his Honr.ur for further direc tions, the Master having made a report in consequer.ee of the decree of the Court in November, 1845. The cause turned upon the que=stion, whether or not a writ was brought under the operation of the new Will Act. Tne circumstances w: re these . John Piilmer, the testator, mule his will on tht , 13th el niret,, on fA- 13:qu,,ts, sieht, 4 1 8 c 3 „ 3 r a e n c d t e d a f t t . eh his making p e p r r t o ; i s ' l i toul3 be divided between his children. One of the children, John Winter, died during the life time of the te,fator, shi made a codicil in I`i3B, which, after some immaterial alterations, ratified his will. It was contended, on the pirt of the plaintiff, who was the eldest son of John Palmer Winter, that t',e estate to which his fathe-r was entitled under the will of the testator should cb,vohie upon him as heir-at-law, while on the part of the de fendants, who were females, it was alleged, that as Jii!!ii Palmer Winter died prior to the testator, the property into personalty, and be should d d equally between e y e b e etwe o ve e n na r l t l e l d he children. The case had not concluded at the rising of the Court COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec S. _ SHAW V. GLYNN. Mr. Charnock and Mr. Pearson were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wordiworth for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Miss Jane Shaw, in forma pauperis, to recover 60/. from the de- fendant, Mr. N. C. Glynn, a member of the legal profes sion, for services rendered to him as a housekeeper. Evidence was adduced to show that, from May to August, 1844, the plaintiff resided in the same house with the defendant, cooked his meals, and sometimes partook of part of them with him, and superintended the house and the lodgers it contained. There was, however, evidence to show that the defendant purchased the furniture, and that he only allowed the plaintiff the use of it until she could obtain sufficient money to rep a y hi m , an d th at t h e y did not live together in the capacity of master and servant. At the plaintiff's case, W. it to th e j ur y t o sa y w heth e r they consideredthe conclusion plaintiff t did or did no t li ve w ith the ust o ic ri e cl E u si hat o Le n z ( 13)fu defendant in the capacity of a servant. The jury considered she did not, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 5. HOLDER V. COAPE.-IGPECIAL JURY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 1801. for board, lodging, and maintenance supplied by the plaintiff, an hotel-keeper, in the New-road, to the usa of the wife of the defendant. Mr. Stuart Wortley and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff; Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Robinson for the defendant. From the evidence adduced on the part of the plaintiff it appeared that the defendant was a highly respectable person, and well known in the sporting world, and his income amounted to 2,8001. a year. The defendant and wife were living apart, and the present action was brought to recover the sum due for her expenses. On the part of the defence documents were put in (admitted upon the other side) and witnesses examined, to prove the payment of the sum of 8001. a year by the defendant into the bank of Messrs. Rogers and Co. for the use of the plaintiff. Mr. STUART WORTLEY having replied upon the evi dence at some length, The LORD CHIEF BARON in summing up to the jury. said the simple question for them to decide was, whether the sum of 800/. was a sufficient allowance for the proper maintenance and support of his wife. Thejury retired, and after a short consultation re turned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. STUART WORTLEY tendered a bill of exceptions to one portion of the direction of his Lordship with re ference to the deed of separation. He said he hoped his Lordship would not so direct the jury ; there was no deed of separation between the parties, and he thought it his duty respectfully to state that he could not concur in such opinion. The LORD CHIEF Banox would reserve to the Learned Counsel every opportunity to bring the matter forward again in any mann( r he pleased, either in this Court or the Court above. On the part of the defendant, Sir F. THESICER con tended that as an allowance of 8001. a year was made by the defendant for the support of his wife, which was re gularly paid in to her account at Messrs. Rogers and Co.'s bank, and which was regularly drawn out by her, ho would not, therefore, be liable for the amount now claimed. The LORD CHIEF BARON said that he had consulted some of the learned judges, and their opinion coincided entirely with his, that the only question for the jury was, whether the allowance of 800/. was or was not suf ficient for the maintenance and support of the wife in such a manner as her position demanded. The jury, after a short time, returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 5. LORD PORTMAN V. FLOOD. This was an action of trespass, brought by Lord Portman, against the defendant, who represented the Marylebone vestry, involving the right of way through Harewood• square. The plaintiff had attempted to lix gates at the entrance to the square, in which he had been res;sted by the parish authorities, hence the present action. At the suggestion of the Learned Judge, it was arranged that it should be turned into a special case. BROWNE V. SMITH. In this running down case, which did not terminate till after 11 o'clock last night, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 150 L POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A foreigner, named Hendershon, was brought before the Lord Mayor. on Saturday, charged with the follow ing burglary and robbery. The prisoner is one of those fellows who are in the habit of standing shivering in the streets, half-naked, in the coldest weather. Mr. Leach, son to the proprietor of the house No. 5, Great Tower-street, watch and clock-maker, stated that on Friday evening the window of the shop was broken with a stone seven or eight pounds in weight by the prisoner, who then thrust his hands into the shop and tookiout a case containing between thirty and forty pounds worth of seals, rings, and other jewellery. If it had not been for the sash and other impediments, the stone would in all probability have struck him, as, no doubt, was intended, for the purpose of preventing him from running after the thief. He, however, escaped injury, and jumping over " the counter, ran o u t of the sh o p, called "Stop thief, and succeeded in getting hold of the prisoner , who had been just received into the arms po li cema n, and upon who se p erson some o f t h e cd " of a stolen property was found. The prisoner's hands were cut with the glass. He had thurst both his hands in to grasp the tray ofjeweery. The tray was thrown upon the pavement, avid several of the neighbours picked up the greater part of the goods, and restored them to the owner. Mr. Leach, the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner had some time ago broken a pane of glass in his shop, and stolen four gold watches of the value of upwards of 601., and the Recorder had sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment. The punish men t a t t h at t i me was considered exceedingly disproportioned to the •-1 calculated to deter ruffia ns f rom th e m lar depredatio ns , an d t h e comp l a i nant caddresse d offence a 1 1 o llt ai the Court upon the subject. He appre hended now that the lightness of the punishment at that time had probably led to the commission of the pre sent offence. The prisoner was committed for trial. BOW-STREET. THE BUILDING ACT.—Mr. Todd, a builder in Marl borough-road, Chelsea, was charged on an inf o r m a t i o n under 7th and Bth Vic., c. 84, with neglecti ng t o b u ild a party-wall to a house he was erecting in Oxford-street. Mr. Prendergast defended him. A solicitor, who attended to support the information on behalf of Mr. Pownall, the district surveyor, stated chat the Act came into operation last January, at.d its object was to prevent serious casualties from fire, &c. The Act provided that every house containing Nit hin the walls two hundred thousand cubic feet should be divided from others by a party-wall. The defendant received notice from the district surveyor in October that he must build a party-wall, or he would infringe the Act ; but as he still continued to build, the matter was laid before the official referees, who made an award that the building was constructed contrary to the Act. The matter was subsequently laid before the Commis sioners of Woods and Forest, who declined in terfering. A Mr. Merrick occupied the premises when finished, and carried ou the business of a paper stainer ; but as the builder refused to alter the premises, the referees withdrew the license granted to him to carry on the business there, and on his refusing to discontinue it, the present proceedings were taken against the builder. Evidence was given in support of the charge, mid Mr. Prendergast took an objection to the terms in which the certificate authorising the official referees to act was drawn, and being held good, the sum m, a; was di sm i sse d . Th i s was t h e fi rs t case un d er t h e Act brought b e f ore t hi s cour t, aH d it oug ht to op er ate as a caution to p ersons carry i ng on b us i ness i n b u ildi ngs , constructed with out t h e necessar y p ar ty walls, the pe nalties agai nst such persons being 2001. a day.

The prisoner was quite sober at the time. The derenilsnt denied the acetniation, Mr. LONG sentenced bins to a tio, of NV., or 14 chiy. , ' impris,mme,t. The following gentlemen were brought up, charged, with been found in a suspected gambling house : Charles Ilumilton, Morris Albert, ltota.rt Johnsf•n, Frederick Wilson, William Hemmings, Henry Smith Hallam, John Smith, and the doorkeeper, James Townsend. Superintendent Bercsford said he had orders and authority from the Commissioners of P lice to enter the house, 2, Rupert-street, St. 'James's, and went a quarter before two o'clock on Saturday morning, with two other constables. He rang the front door bell, the door was opened by the porter Townsend, whom he seised imme diately-, as Townsend knew him well, and would suspect his object, and gave him over to the custody of the other constables. The gas was immediately put out. He then entered, and found in the centre of the passage a door covered with green baize and lined underneath with iron. After knocking at this to gain admission, without success, they made use of the sledge-hammer and crow-bars, and with much labour succeeded in fore ing the doer off the hinges and one of the bolts which secured it, but failed still to remove the door. Some one opened the door from within, and the witness found it had been seeused by an iron bar, which turned on a centre, fastened to the door itself, and fell into sockets in the door-posts. The witness was met by another door at the foot of the stair, fitted in a similar manner, and having a small hole in it as-a "look out;" this was open also. Half way up the stairs he found such another door, also open. He passed into the first-floor room, and found the defendants, but no implements of gaming in the room, or on their persons. The stairs which led to the upper part of the house was guarded by a similar door at the foot, and at the top was a trap door which fell down over the stair-case and bolted on the lower side, and over all an iron gate, so that any one coming from above could not get down to the first floor. iilr. Lorna said, as no implements of gaming had been found the case failed against the defendants, and they were discharged. Sixteen gentlemen were brought up on a similar charge from the house No. 64, St. James's-street, usually known as the Cocoa-tree Club. _ _ _ Superintendent Beresford said the evidence in this case was similar to that in the former ; he found a great many iron doors, bolts and bars, and the defendants within, but no implements of gaming. He said they had ample time, while he was forcing the doors, to make away with anything suspicious. Mr. LONG also discharged the defendants in this case. Mr. Budderstone appeared as counsel, and Mr. Ro bertson as solicitor for the defendants, in both cases. CLERKENWELL. Anne Nebors was charged, before Mr. Combe, with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Thomas Hornsby, hoot and shoe maker of No. 15, Northern buildings, Somers-town. Elizabeth Hornsby, the prosecutor's wife, said the prisoner came into the shop on Friday evening, and asked to look at a pair of boots. Witness took down two pair, sad laid them upon the counter, when the pri soner asked to be shown some other articles, which were down at the end of the shop, and during witness's tempo rary absence one pair of the boots were 'moved from the counter, but the prisoner managed to effect her escape before the theft was discovered. The next day she was taken into custody, close to the prosecutor's shop, with the boots on her feet. Mr. COMBE committed her for trial. A little urchin named Good, was charged with robe bing his employer, Mrs. Susannah Baker, of the Lower road, Islington, un der the following rather peculiar cir cumstances :—The prosecutrix stated that she carried on business as a dyer, and the prisoner had been in her employment for some time as an errand-boy. Yester day evening she gave him a parcel to deliver at a house in Red Lion-square, and in about an hour afterwards he returned, and pretending to cry, said he met three men opposite New St. Pancras Church, one of whom knocked him down and robbed him of the bundle, when they ran away in the direction of Paddington. Considering the story very improbable, owing to the publicity of the spot, and coupling his statement with the fact that on a previous occasion she had given him money to pay a bill, which he said he had lost, she sent for a policeman, and gave him into custody. A witness here came forward, and said that be met the boy last evening crying in Maiden-lane, and that he made the same statement to him. Mr. COMBE put several questions to the witness as to the motives which induced him to come forward, which the worthy magistrate considered him to have answered so unsatisfactorily, that he adjourned the ease, in order to give time for further inquiries. A CHANDLER SHOIFICEEPER FINED FOR SELLING BEER ON SUNDAY.—John Philpoi, a chandler shopkeeper, residing in Islington, was summoned by the police for having sold table beer on Sunday morning before the hour of one o'clock. An attorney, who attended for the defendant, con tended that selling small beer did not come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, 2 and 3 Vic., cap. 47, which prohibited the sale of wine, spirits, beer, or other fermented liquors on Sundays before one o'clock, and that small beer was no more a fermented liquor than ginger beer. Mr. COMBE said the question had often been decided, and no one could doubt that small beer was a fermented liquor within the meaning of the Act. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs. LAMBETH. CONVICTION 01 A POLICEMAN Mr. Norton inve,ti gated a charge against Thomas Hedone, 251 P, and James Dobbin, 175 M, metropolitan police. It appeared that on Thursday afternoon two men, named Shepheard and Adams, employed by a person named Harrington, a running dustman, were caught by a person in the employ of Mr. Davis a dust con tractor, removing some dust from a house in Camber well parish, who called constable Hedone to take them into custody, but the constable made light of it, and walked away. Mr. Davis's servant, however, contrived to stop them, when they assaulted him violently with a thick stick. Hedone, hearing the cry of " Police !" re turned to the spot, when Mr. Davis's man showed him his hand, which was bleeding, and told him that he had been struck several blows on his head, and further saw him struck by Harrington, the master of the two men. He let them go, after keeping them in custody for a short time. The complaint against constable Dobbin was that Shepheard and Adams boasted that he would not have interrupted them, as he was well acquainted with Harrington, their master, with whom he was subsequently seen to come out of a beer-shop, and when questioned on the subject by Inspector Campbell, he first denied it, but afterwards said he went in for a pint of beer. After a lengthened investigation, Shep heard and Adams were fined 30s. each, or a month's im prisonment, Adams in a further sum of 51. or two months' imprisonment for the assault on Mr. Davis's man ; Harrington, the master, in 51., or two months' im prisonment, fur a like assault ; and Mr. Norton said, with respect to the constables, he was of opinion that the com plaint against Dobbin amounted merely to an error in judgment, in not having taken the parties into custody, when desired to do so, and the accusation of having drunk at the beer-shop with Harrington was not proved, though he must say it was a suspicious circumstance. The charge against the other constable, he wis si,rry to say, was very different. His conduct in the first in stance in laughing at the man who wished him to take the dustmen into custody was highly improper, and his leaving the man struggling with the two men and walk ing off was equally improper, and his not keeping the parties in custody after the man had shown the wound upoa his hand, and told him that he had been struck several times on the head, was conduct that could not be tolerated. It was most distressing to him to be obliged to convict a man who had been in the police force for upwards of fifteen years ; but his duty demanded it. If conduct like his was tolerated there would be no safety for the public. The law enabled him to impose a penalty of 101 ; but under the circumstances he would mitigate it to one half, and the constable must therefore pay a penalty of 5/., or one month's imprisonment.

PUNISHMENT OF DEATII.—A public meeting was held on Friday evening, at the Music-hall, Store-street, having for its object the adoption of measures to promote the abolition of the punishment of death. As we have already reported at considerable length the proceedings of several similar meetings, a brief outline only is neces sary. Mr. Charles Gilpin presided, and shortly ex pounded the principle on which the Soeiety advocates the abolition of capital punishment—that of the sanctity of human life. In allusion to the recent statement of the Premier, that the treatment of criminals was a ques tion yet to be solved, he recommended to his Lordship's attention the course pursued by the late Mrs. Fry. He expressed surprise at the tone adopted by the Morning Chronicle on this question, w hen the reputed proprietor, Sir John Ftsthope, had voted for the abolition of capital punishments six years ago. It might suit that paper to go hack, but the public 'eere Lot going back on this question.—(hear.) On the committee of this society were men who had been accuston-,ed to go flow victory to victory ; amongst its members were Richard Cobden, John Bright, W. J. Fox, Charles Dickens, and Douglas Jerrold.—(Loud cheers.) But, better than all, the Society had right on its side.—(Cheers.) The meeting wa, ,, addressed by Mr. Charles Potter. the Rev. Henry Richards, Mr. .J. H. Parry, Mr. F. Rowton, Mr. H.

WEYMOUTH, DEC. 3.—lnformation having been re ceived here some short time ago, from the officers con nected with the Custom-house at Guernsey, that a noted French smuggler was waiting an opportunity to load with a cargo of unmanufactured tobacco, the inspecting commander of the coast guard district of this station, Captain Kerr, R.N., immediately gave orders to her Majesty's revenue cruiser, the Adelaide, commanded by Mr. Miller, to proceed thither with all dispatch, and watch. The Adelaide had orders to cruise off the island, and neither to land or enter the harbour, excepting under circumstances of emergency ; besides which, tht. crews of all revenue cutters are forbid to purchase at any time either spirits, tea. sugar, or tobacco. But some on board the Adelaide, determined to do some business for themselves, smuggled on board nearly 5001135. weight of foreign manufactured tobacco. Shortly after the Adelaide was ordered to proceed to Jersey, and on arriving off that port, Mr. Miller, either from suspicion or information, immediately landed and waited upon the custom officers, stated his suspicions, and desired them to make a thorough overhaul on board, the result of which was the discovery of 5001bs. weight of tobacco secreted in the cabins and hammocks of many of the crew. Upon this the commander immediately left for this port (Weymouth), and arrived here from the Channel Islands in the afternoon of Monday last, when Mr. Miller lost no time in reporting to Captain Kerr. the inspr sting commander, what had brought him hither. Captain Kerr then proceeded on board the Adelaide, and endeavoured, by questioning the crew, to find out the guilty parties; but he could elicit nothing satisfactory; when he gave the crew until the following day, at twelve o'clock, to consider his proposal, that of at once admit ting who were the smugglers. On going on board at the appointed time, all declared they knew nothing of how the tobacco got on board, or to whom it belonged. The case has been fully reported by Captain Kerr to the comptroller-general of the coast guard, and the officers and crew must await the result of a strict and impartial inquiry. To SMOKERS.—A knight of the plough, not fifty miles from the farm of Ingliston, after receiving h " dear won penny fee" at last term, resolved on having a spree with his comrades. In the height of his merri ment, sorrow took the place of joy, when he discovered that he had lighted his pipe with a 51. note ! The note was utterly useless before the blunder was discovered.— Edinburgh Weekly. Register. ATROCIOUS Acv Or CRUELTY. —An act of the most diabolical cruelty was perpetrated on the night of Friday, or Saturday morning last, in a stable belonging to Mr. White, of the Anchor Inn, Cornbehay, by which a valuable horse was destroyed, under horrible suffer ing. The malicious perpetrator of the deed inflicted a wound on the animal's head with an instrument, sup posed to be a pickaxe, of which the animal died. On being dissected, a spike nail, seven inches in length, was found in its stomach. A large reward was announced for informa'ion leading to a discovery of the barbarous offender. --Bath Chronicle. THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER AND THE REV. H. Berrr.EsTosin.—Some few weeks ago we stated that the Rev. H. Bittlestone, the curate of Leamington, had been charged with holding doctrines and exhibiting practices having a tendency to the Church of Rome, especially on the question of Transubstantiation, and in inducing a young female to come to the confessional. The Bishop of Worcester having put himself in communication with the reverend gentleman on the subject, the latter re• quested a few weeks' time to consider of his reply, and at length the correspondence between him and the Bishop is published. Mr. Bittlestone denies the alleged heresy in all points, and says he has no thought, purpose, or intention of leaving the Church of England for that of Rome, or cf beguiling any soul away from the fold of the Established Church. The Bishop, in reply, acquits Mr. Bittlestone of heresy, but convicts him of great in discretion ; and in regard to the doctrinal questions which were the subject of controversy, says that many points might be adduced in which a clergyman. urie, cover of certain doubtful phrases, purposely perhaps retained in our Prayer-book with a view to conciliate Roman Catholic converts, at the time it was prepared or revised, may insensibly create Romanising tendencies in the minds of his people, and yet keep within the strict letter of the articles and formularies of the Church. The Bishop consents to countersign Mr. Bittlestone's testimo nials ; but, in taking leave of him, expresses a hope that he will pursue elsewhere his ministerial labours with like zeal, but with somewhat more of discretion than he ma nifested under his Lordship's episcopal superintendence. —Worcestershire Chronicle. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—MR. ARCHER'S BENEFIT. Mr. Archer, the attentive and civil box - book-keeper of the Haymarket Theatre, takes his benefit on Tuesday even ing next, and puts f o rward a m ost tempting and attrac tive bill-of fare. In addition to the appearance of all the members of the Haymarket company (confessed!) the first comedy company in the world), Madame Celeste w ill, on this occasioe, resume the popular character of Suzanne. Mr. Archer has catered so as to suit all tastes. The lovers of our old comedies will be delighted %jai the revival of Secrets Worth Knowing —(young Lester a ppears in the character of Rostrum for the first time). The seekers after novelty will find the new farce, enti tled Story Telling, in which Farren, Buckstone, and Mrs. Hurnby sustain the pri nc i pa l c h aracters ; wh i le the lovers o f music will be delighted with the last new and successful musical drama, the Young Pretender. Mr. Archer's merits, however, are sufficient to ensure him a bumper, without these adventitious aids ; and when we remember that he is a member of the honourable frater nity of the Freemasons, whose peculiar characteristic it is invariably to come forward to aid a brother, we cannot but feel convinced that on Tuesday night " the little theatre in the Haymarket " will he crammed to over flowing. BOULOGNE, DEC. 2.—The Emerald steamer is now being laden with between 300 and 400 sheep and about a score of cattle for the English markets. A large body of gendarmes are on the spot to preserve order, and the troops of the line are in readiness to act should their services be required. A number of sailors and fisher men are looking sn, and there is no doubt the shipment will take place without any outbreak. General Negrier and several troops of the line have arrived from Ardres. The soldiers have been quartered upon the inhabitants of the Rue Royale. If any more riots take place to pre vent the embarkation of sheep and cattle for England a battalion of 800 troops will be marched into the town from the neighbouring garrisons. This morning, at daybreak, a large quantity of sheep were shipped on board a vessel for England on the Capicure side of the harbour. The whole affair was kept a profound secret, and consequently it passed off quietly, scarcely any per. son, besides those engaged, being present. The deter mination evinced by the mayor and municipal authorities upon the former occasion to put down rioting on the part of the mob (for it was only the lower orders in the town who were engaged in the disturbances), leads us to believe that all future shipments of cattle and provisions N bleb may now take place will be unattended with breaches of the peace. CHURCH EXTENSION.—A new church, of which the foundation-stone was laid by Earl Howe in the autumn of last year, has been completed at Woodvil e, Leicestershire, and will be consecrated on Tuesday next by the Lord Bishop of Peterborough. The church, which is a capacious struciure, is dechcaterl to St. Stephen.

RAILWAY SIGNALS.—The Midland Railway Corn pany are using every precaution ilarirg the foggy weather to prevent er,liisions on the line.
