The Sun. — London, England, 1848-08-28 00:00:00

making of new lines of railway had perhaps gone on a little too fast. In this country, in 1843, there were 1,952 miles of new railwayin operation. In the year 1848 the number of miles of railway was 5,016, including what would be com pleted during the present year—an increase much greater than any proportionate , increase of traffic that could be reasonably expected. The directors could not, however, have restrained the extension of new lines. Parliament, a year or two ago, regarded favourably the doctrine of competition, the shareholders naturally desired to increase the number of new shares upon which tkey anticipated receiving high premiums, and then the fear of losing districts into which competitors were hastening, com bined with all these causes to make railway companies go faster on with their extensions than the traffic could accumulate which was to make them remunerative. Seven • years ago a combination of circumstances caused a like depression in railway undertakings, but they had enjoyed a very high degree of prosperity since that period, and they might reasonably expect that brighter days would shortly occur. In the year 1841 they had 251,460 passengers over -78 miles of their main line, no branches having then been opened. In 1848, now that they had extended their opera tions over 101 miles, the number of passengers was 1,058,734. So that while in 1841 they carried 3,608 passengers for each mile, in 1848 they conveyed s,s42.—(Applause.) These results afforded ground to the proprietors for believing that their undertaking was thoroughly sound, .and that their traffic would go on steadily increasing and developing itself. --(Hear.) Having explained that the delay in opening the Waterloo extension was not attributable to the directors or to their engineer, the Chairman congratulated the share holders on the increased facilities now afforded to the public by so central a station, with the results of which, as far as the interests of the company were concerned, the directors had every reason to be satisfied. He also expressed the satisfaction felt by the directors in having succeeded in carrying on their line to Windsor. The directors an ticipated a considerable increase of traffic as soon as their loop line through Brentford could be opened, seeing that the population of that neighbourhood was very great, and that 1-3Gth of the exciseable duties of the whole kingdom (say 380,000/.) was paid in the district of Brentford. He explained and defended the policy of the di rectors in their Parliamentary contests for their western ex tensions, and also in their steam-boat projects. The com pany had Southampton upon which to depend for all time, with its packets, docks, and mails, and if they considered the steamers which left that port for the East and West Indies, Constantinople,,Bremen, and the United States, they would feel the great desideratum of having a large supply of con tinuous traffic brought to Southampton, of increasing it by establishing tributary streams, and by offering every faoility in favour of the concentration of the mail packets at South ampton. The directors had sought for the power of estab lishing steam-boats, because of the economy with which they could be worked and repaired in conjunction with their rail way, and also because the railway and steamboats were parts of the great and comprehensive undertaking by which they were to arrive at a combined and satisfactory result. Their line now presented unequalled means for pub lic amusement and recreation. Among the retreats they had to offer were Richmond and Hampton' Court. The latter place had had this year, not withstanding the unfavourable weather, 209,404 visitors and they might expect a great increase of traffic when their 41ampton Court branch was completed. Then they had Chiswick and Kew, where 38.000 persons visited the grounds, awl 64,000 the Botanic Gardens. The number of visitors to Windsor Castle were 27,142, to say nothing of Virginia Water and the Isle of Wight. The directors might have been going on too fast, but if they now only held their hands a little, and T7ere enabled to call upon the proprietors as little as possible, by borrowing money and economising their expenditure as. much as possible, he was convinced their affairs were in a very satisfactory condition, and they could afford to wait for better times before they attempted to complete the remainder of their projects.—(Hear, hear.) The Andover and Southampton line, and the London-bridge Extension, could afford to wait for further consideration. Their total share capital was 6,209,9351. The experiment of reducing; the fares had not been so successful as was antici pated y some persons, and some increase in the fares would be necessary to make their undertaking properly remunera tive to the proprietors. The Chairman concluded by moving .that the report be read, adopted, printed, and circulated among the proprietors. In reply to questions from a SHAREHOLDER, The CHAIRMAN said the directors had no intention of going to Parliament for any more extensions. They were pro gressing fast as they could to the closing 01 their capital accounts, but he did not see how it was practicable to accom plish this immediately. Mr. BAKER moved, as an amendment, "That a committee of shareholders be appointed to confer with the directors on the presentstate and prospects, and the future liabilities of the company; and that such committee '.be required to report thereon to a general meeting of the pro prietors." .Mr Baker proceeded at extreme length to complain of the administration of the company's affairs, and was followed by Masses. Hoyes and Puncher. They were replied to at great length by the CHAIRMAN, and as his explanations appeared to be entirely satisfactory to the great body of the meeting, and as the amendment was eventually withdrawn in deference to the general opinion of the shareholders, it will be unnecessary to advert in detail to points raised in the discussion. • Mr. LooK.E, the company's engineer, suggested that the two auditors who were to be elected that day might examine the company's accounts, as the dissentient shareholders complained of the impossibility of understanding them, and report whether they could be kept in any better mode. The auditors might also investigate the expenditure, so far as it came under their notice, and if they would suggest any measures of additional economy in his department of expen diture he would gladly avail himself of their assistance.— (Hear, hear.) The fact was, however, that the locomotive expenses of the South-Western line were less than on most other railways. The experiment of reducing the fares had been tried, and what had been the result? A SHAREHOLDER—A 6 per oent. instead of an 8 per cent dividend.—(Applause.) Mr. LOCKE agreed that the reduction of fares had been one of the causes that had produced this result. The first class fare to Southampton used to be IL Is. ; it was now only fourteen shillings. He would recommend that the fare be raised to the maximum rate now permitted by Parlia• ment (16s. Bd.), for it was clear that to keep up the dividend to which the proprietors were fairly entitled they must keep up the fares.—(Hear, hear.) He would also recommend that the practice of sending third-class carriages by th e fast trains should be abandoned, and that third-class car riages should always form a train by themselves, and not to be attached to first and second-class trains."—(Applause.) He defended the making of the extension lines westward, but for which they might have seen a broad gauge line to Southampton. The motion for the reception and adoption of the report was then carried unanimously. The CHAiamAs then moved— "That a dividend at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum subject to income-tax, be declared on the consolidated stock of the company, and that the said dividend be paid en and after the Ist of September." The resolution was agreed to unanimously. Resolutions were also passed, without dissent, authorising the directors to perfect the amalgamation of the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and approving of the agreement for working the Richmond and Datchet portion of the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western Railway for one year at a rent of 51. per cent. per annum, on the paid-up capital of the latter company. Powers were also given to the directors to make arrangements for the execution of the proposed Datchet and Windsor Extension Railway, and for the sale or lease thereof. In compliance with the general wish of the meeting, it was understood that the directors should forthwith raise the fares, and take off the third class carriages from the first and second class trains. A long discussion took place respecting the appointment of auditors, which was at length terminated by the election of Mr. Close, of Nottingham, and Mr. Alexander Hors, of Southampton. After a vete of thanks to the Chairman and directors, the meeting adjourned at half-past six o'clock.

(From the United Service Gazette.) _ - NAVAL GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—We have much pleasure in Good announcing Service Pension, that Lord Auckland has bestowed the Marryatt, C. . i rsion, vacant by the death of Cap tain(lB2l). It will be , upon Captain Donat H. O'Brien remember e d that this is the officer who in a ma nner p erfe ctlyastounding effected his escape prison, from a Frenc h after two previously un success f u l of attempts. The narrative this surp r i sing un d erta ki ng has been published i n two volumes.

The extensive marshes greatetween Chat. h a m and Sheerness , coup l ed with the quantity of ra in which has fallen t his season, m ay account for th e virulence of the disease. SETTLIZMENT OF TILE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN : T URK EY AND PERSIA. — Li eutenant Adam G. Glasscott, '”. R.N., has received permission from the Admiralty to - accompany Lieutenant-Colonel Williams to the East, to settle the boundaries between Turkey and Persia. STEAMERS TO MALTA.—An order has been received at Malta, froni the Admiralty, that the Mediterranean packets are not to be delayed at Malta beyond six hours after the arrival of the contract mail steamers, except in cases when the arrivals are after sunset. SURVEY OF STEAMERS.—It has been positively and peremptorily ordered by the Admiralty, that in the sur vey of steamers for repairs, or for ascertaining defects, a joint report of the Surveyor of the Navy, and of the Comptroller of Steam Machinery Departments, shall be made—the one fully co-operating with the other. THE " SCOURGE. "—We understand that the Earl of Dundonald has condemned the Scourge steam sloop as a very inefficient ♦essel; his Lordship has caused her mortar to be landed, and fitted a pivot gun instead. NAVAL ORDNANCE.—Some weeks since the Board of Ordnance were ordered by the Admiralty not to cast any more 56 or 42-pounders, for the service of the Royal Navy. Their Lordships deem that they have quite suffi cient for arming the steam guard-ships Ajax, Edinburgh, and Hogue. The Blenheim is already armed with guns of the above calibre. SCREW SHlPS.—There is no truth in the report that the Princess Charlotte, 104, is to be converted into a screw steam guard ship; the Edinburgh, 72, is to be fitted as a steam guard ship, on the plan suggested by Lord John Hay, by which it is said the expense of con version will not exceed 1,0001. Lieutenant Addison, of the 70th Regiment, has been appointed Aid-de-Camp to Lieutenant-General Lord Hardinge, G.C.B. TROOPS FOR INDIA.—The Minerva freight ship has been taken up for the conveyance of detachments of the Provisional Battalion from Chatham to Bombay and Cannanore, and the ship Prince of Wales for the con veyance of detachments to Bengal. PRESERVED MEATS FOR THE NAVY.—Previously to the departure of the Channel Squadron from Ports mouth, the Admiralty ordered that preserved meats should be issued to the crew of the St. Vincent, flag ship, one day in each week, i❑ lieu of salt beef, and their Lordships ordered a report to be made after trial of the quality of the meat, and if approved of as an article of provision. We have not yet heard of the result. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM- PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List, PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING. LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25.

The Committee were again occupied the whole of Satur day in receiving rebutting evidence on behalf of Mr. Fitzgerald, the sitting Member. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, August 26. Mr. Commissioner Fane was the only Commissioner who sat to-day, and the cases heard before him were of an unimportant nature. IN RE M. JULLIEN. In this case, as our readers will recollect, which was reported in our journal about a week since, a somewhat unfavourable suggestion was made respecting Mr. Lewis, the bankrupt's attorney, having possession of a great quantity of the bankrupt's property. That gentleman was to-day examined in private at considerable length, and entirely exonerated himself from any imputation, adding that he had received 4,000/. from M. Jullien, out of which sum, however, he had paid the latter's creditors no less than 3,9931., he (Mr. Lewis) being at the same time a creditor to the extent of 4,0801. IN RE HAYWORTH AND CO. These bankrupts, iron -founders, came upon the balance-sheet prepared by Mr. Glover (Bucklersbury) to pass their last examination; and all parties being per • fcctly satisfied with the accounts they passed. WHITECHAPEL COUNTY COURT. GREGORY V. WELCH. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 141. Bs. for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Sidney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden, said that his client, the plaintiff; is a licensed victualler, and sought to recover the amount named, for necessaries supplied to the defendant, a commercial traveller, and he contended that if he proved that the charges were reasonable, and gave evidence of the delivery, he should be entitled to a verdict for the full amount. The Learned Gentleman then called Emma Martin, the bar maid, who had kept the account against the defendant, and the waiter, who had attended on him; and they having given evidence to that effect, The worthy JUDGE asked if there was any defence? The defendant's SOLICITOR. said that his answer was the " Tippling Act," which excluded a person from suing for more than 20s. worth of spirits, which must be consumed on the premises of a tavern-keeper at one time or sitting. In the plaintiff's demand there were items, " Grog, grog," to the amount of 91. 75.; there fore he would submit that that sum must, at all events, be scratched from the bill. Mr. SIDNEY replied that his friend was too late to call into his aid that Act. The defendant should have filed that plea in court several days ago. The JUDGE remarked that Mr. Sidney was quite right, and immediately awarded the plaintiff the whole of his claim and costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. TVESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bristol, August 25. (Special Jury.) SCOTT V. FERRIS.--I3ILL STEALING. The action was in the nature of an issue from the Court of Chancery, to try whether a warrant of attorney had been obtained by fraud, and it arose out of bill-steal ing transactions. Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., stated the case at great length. The plaintiff, Mr. Scott, was an officer, holding the rank of lieutenant in a cavalry regiment stationed at Norwich, and the defendant, Mr. W. T. Ferris, resided at West minster, and the action arose out of one of those trans actions which had unhappily too often come before courts of justice, and which were known as bill-steal ing transactions. The bills which would come into question in the course of the inquiry were two bills of exchange for 500/. each, drawn by a Mr. Moreton, and accepted by Mr. Scott, and in respect of these it was that the warrant of attorney was given. The bills in ques tion were obtained from Mr. Scott by a most outrageous fraud on the part of Mr. Moreton, and iii order to entitle himself to a verdict he (Mr. Cockburn) should have to connect Mr. Moreton with the defendant, Mr. Ferris, which he believed he should have no difficulty in doing, for they had fortunately obtained a clue to the whole, and should ho enabled to show that it was a most glar ing bill-stealing transaction in which all the parties were engaged. The jury were doubtless aware that there ex isted in the metropolis organized gangs of persons who procured their subsistence by that peculiar mode of swindling, and who obtained from gentlemen bills under pretence of discounting them, and which bills, without ever paying one shilling for them, they appropriated to their own dishonest purposes, and compelled the acceptors to pay large sums of money. In the beginning of the present year Mr. Scott's regiment was stationed at Nor wich. He knew nothing whatever of Mr. Moreton till the month of March, when he received a letter dated on the 24th from Hatchett's Hotel, Piccadilly, in which the writer, who signed himself " William Moreton," stated that he had confidentially heard that Mr. Scott was desirous of getting his acceptance discounted, and he should be happy if such was the case to accommodate him. Mr. Scott did not reply to the letter, upon which the writer came down to Nor wich and saw him, and some arrangement was made be tween them, which could be gathered from a second letter, dated from the Portland Hotel, Great Portland street, in which the writer stated that he had consulted his friend, who was willing to advance 1,0001. on Mr. Scott's note of hand at six months, with an agreement to renew the same upon payment of interest. Other letters followed, in which Mr. Moreton attempted to induce Mr. Scott to send up his acceptances for the amount to town, and promising to pay the cash into Messrs. Barclay and Co.'s bank, to be transferred to Mr. Scott's bankers at Norwich. In ono of those letters the writer said he might as well give his private residence, which was at 40, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. Mr. Scott did not very well like to part with his bills without the money; but at length, as Mr. Moreton per sisted that he could not conveniently come to Norwich, he determined upon sending his servant up with them. The servant went to London, saw Mr. More ton, delivered to him the two acceptances for 5001. each, but the jury need scarcely be told that he returned again to Norwich without having received a shilling of money. The second scene of the drama then commenced. Mr. Scott was, of course, anxious about his bills, and wrote again and again to Mr. More ton, and, as it was always an object with the actors in transactions of this nature to put off the absolute dis covery of the fraud to as long a period as possible, he re ceived letter after letter giving various excuses for non payment, and promising to send it to-morrow. " Oh, ne'er shall we that morrow see." In one letter the writer stated that he should immediately send the cash, for he had made arrangements to do so with a Mr. Robison whom he (the Learned Counsel) supposed meant that character of whose vagaries they had so often heard—Jack Robinson.—(Laughter.) if the attention of the jury had ever been directed to a transaction of this kind they would find that as soon as the bills were secured the swindlers set themselves to work to see how they could best manage to get money out of the victim. It did not answer their purpose to go to a court of justice, because, where the gentleman who had parted with his bills had the moral courage to defend the suit, their ras cality and villany would be exposed, and they would be compelled to get fresh names, and drive their nefarious trade upon some other principle, and accordingly a Mr. Axon came on the scene. This person, of whom Mr. Scott had before known nothing, wrote, on the 24th of May, doubtless prompted by some excessive benevo lence, stating that it had accidentally come to his know ledge ohnrai urged the e t dh bills, oe matter . London,h euofft mightfeearcd.defendant . o: be recovered, and ooh r dnnT e edo c arhet o ot eenvfl Hatchett's vigorous t r uat e nte d cur h, meetingsue e ttl andthti,e:ledge that Mr. Scott's bills had got into bad hands, hint ingd offeringthat hisbe y ea nnpdarrsoosmbiasbgpt robbed dni a nno c e t f i fol lowed from the same writer, who assured Mr. Scott that mms h Hw e aeoiat h tnees a dlluy d ,l re er b ms, Piccadilly, for se o the wmeenrt went ut o hp v e e was brought about in this way. A Mr. Lawrence, a horse dealer in London, had had offered to him one of d th e e al b e i r lls na fo m r e d d is A cr ei n , t. to AwthNomorwmicrh. Scott as w a s a s a a c a h voarlsrey officer, was known, and he had heard the story of the been in thetherobbery of the bills. He wa nitdhwhom happened l ear learnt h o t efor have hadm him h that habitcommuni cation of w doingith Lawrence,business, bill had been offered to him, and that h e h ad had an offer, stand in the technical language of the bill gentry, to ‘ in." He told Abel of this, and, through Lawrence,izoe the plaintiff had been enabled to get a cl ue to thein which the transaction was conducted. It would s eem that the bill was offered to Lawrence by a namedm Martin, who was a friend of, and lived with, a man since dead, named Faulkner, and through Faulkner he should be able to connect the defendant with the business. Ho would now tell them who Mr. Ferris, the bill discounter, who was alleged to have given 4001. in hard cash and his I 0 U for 200/. for the bills, was. Mr. Ferris was a small carpenter in Charles street, Westminster, keeping five or six hands, and some times only two or three, and in no considerable way of business at all. Ho lived in a small house which he let out to lodgers. A laundress occupied one floor, and other persons resided in others, and he oeccupied a portion of the house himself. The Learned Counsel proceeded'at great lenght to narrate the facts of the case, stating that Martin and Faulkner lived at a gambling house, at No. 2, Bennett-street, St. James's, and detailing the circum stances connected with the interview at Hatchett's Hotel, and explaining that in an unlucky hour Mr. Scott had been induced to pay 100/., and give his warrant of at torney for 3252, in order to procure a restoration of the bills. The 100/. was of course gone; but the present suit sought to upset the warrant of attorney, and he hoped that the jury would by its verdict show that those gentlemen who " stand in ' themselves, but take in others, would not be permitted to do so with impunity. Mr. T. C. Nelson, of the Portland Hotel, London, proved that a person calling himself Moreton occasion ally came to the coffee-room of the hotel, and had letters c e i m v e r d s for ma him ry m four o r m , o o f r n N in o gs 4o in , A th ia e r w ga e r e e k t .. directed there f or hi m ; on an average letters were re persont her house, c alling and h a d himself them f Moreton, or a week took ki apartments saids t re e h t , e Caven dish-square, a v s e n aa dish-square, Lo n d on , d eposed that in the month of May e a gentleman of fortune who had been in the army • that he had a country house at Syd en h am, and required' town apartments, as he had an un c l e , f rom whom he had great expectancies, coming to London. Witness did not like his references, and refused to continue him as a lodger. During the time he was there he did not s l eep in the. house, but called for his letters. He seemed anxious about letters from Norwich. Mr. Scott's servant came to him while he was there, and went into the drawing room with him. Lewis Levi, of Tokenbouse yard, sharp and bill broker, had known Moreton eight or nine months. About the middle of May ho brought in an acceptance of Mr. Scott for 5001. for discount. Witness told him he could not discount it unless he could write to Mr. Scott to see that it was ri g ht. He said he could no t do so. Cross-examined Has been a wholesale slop- t, , . - seller and picture dealer. Am as 'well known by the name of Lewis as Levi. My children are called Lewis, because my wife is a Christian woman. Have r never had my house burnt down, and am not called Guy Fawkes. I was convicted for conspiracy thirty years ago,,,and was fined 5,0001. and imprisoned for two years. Was charged with conspiring to obtain goods by false pretences. Thomas Moore, of Newman-street, Oxford-street, first knew Mr. Moreton ten years ago. He then went in the name of Norrington. After that I saw him at the Old Bailey. He was in the dock. After that I lost sight of him for eighteen calendar months.—(Loud laughter.) When I saw him again he had changed his name. First he called himself Montague, and then he changed it to Moreton. After that he took up the pro fession of a gentleman.—(Laughter.) Mr. COCKBURN—A gentleman at large, I suppose? Witness—Yes.—(Renewed laughter.) Examination continued—l knew John Bannister Faulkner. Remember seeing him also in the dock at the Old Bailey. In the middle of May Mr. Faulkner brought me a bill, which he said had been accepted by Mr. Scott ; it was for 5001. G. Lappett, servant to Mr. Scott, proved that he took the letter with the bills to Mr. Moreton, at Margaret street. He said he would send an answer by post. Clerks from the banking-houses of Messrs. Barclay, London ; and Gurney, Norwich, were called to prove that no money had been paid in Mr. Scott's credit. S. Lawrence, horse dealer, of the Commission Stables, Portman-square, London.—Knew a little of Faulkner. He died in May. He applied to me to know if I could get a bill discounted for 500/.—an acceptance of Mr. Scott. He said .he understood that I had connexions in Norwich, and if I could get it done they would take 2501. for it, as it was got upon " the best." Told him I would write to Abel about it, and warned him not to take it. Faulkner lived with Mr. Smart, at No. 2, Bennett-street, which was a gaming -house. Subsequently saw Abel, and was asked to find out the parties who had the bills. Left word at Smart's that I wanted to see him, and went to Hatchett's to wait for him. He did not come, and as I was going back to his house saw him, and spoke to him, and he pointed to Ferris, who was at th e corner o f th e s t ree t, an d said "This is the holder of the bills." Told Ferris that I understood he held bills for 1,0004, which had been improperly obtained. He said he advanced 6001. upon them, but would take 400/. for them. I said, " Non sense, you do not look like a 600/. man." Ferris then said he would give me 50/., and allow me to " stand in," if I could got Scott to give him 4001, I said " I will have nothing to do with bills obtained in that manner, and I only wish you would give them back." When at the hotel Ferris said ho had advanced 4004, and would take that sum to compromise it. Scott said he had been robbed of the bills; and Ferris said he was sorry, and would take 4001., the suns he had advanced. During the conversation Ferris told different stories: first he said he gave 6001., then 4001., and afterwards 200/. Scott then said he would not give a farthing. The witness was cross-examined at great length, with a view to test his character, and the quaintness of his replies, and the humorous mode in which the questions were put, kept the Court in a roar of laughter. Ile admitted that he had been " unfortunate" three times, but said he had paid all his Ronny fide credi tors 20s. in the pound. First, he had failed through the failure of his bankers ; afterwards, because the Belgian Government had behaved shabbily to him in reference to some horse contracts, and the last time be cause of liabilities he had undertaken for others. He admitted that he had been an insolvent, and remanded for twelve mouths by Mr. Commissioner Harris, but said it was done upon an ex parte statement, that he was let out of prison the next day, and that when before Mr. Commissioner Pane, that Learned Commis sioner told him he left the court with nu stain on his character. The witness admitted that lie was a Jew, and that his real name was Lazarus, and ou being re minded that he did not take the oath with his hat on, he said none but ignorant Jews did.—(Laughter.) John Abel, innkeeper at Norwicn, also deposed that ho was at the m eet i n g at Hatchett's Hotel. Ferris first said he had given 6001. for the bills, but afterwards that he had given 4001. for them. Mr. Scott said ho did not believe that he had given a farthing for them, and Ferris then said he paid down 2004 and had to pay 2001. in a few days. I took Ferris aside (having agreed with Mr. Scott that I would do so). I said, "I don't believe you have given anything for the bills. This young man is a very illiterate, stupid fellow, as green as grass, and it is a great pity he should be robbed of 1,0001. I can make him stand 300/. or 4001., but if Ido you must let me stand in." He said, " Well, it must not be less than that, for there are three or four of us in it, and if you have less it will be of no use." I then told Scott I was satisfied he gave nothing for the bill and that I would not pay a farthing. Tho witness was cross-examined, but nothing material was elicited. Mr. Draper, solicitor, proved that he went with Mr. Scott to the defendant and offered him 1001. to give up the bills, which he refused. Saw no clerk there. The account of the discounts was entered in a book in which entries of wages were. There was no other entry of discounts. In another small red book Ferris showed entries of two or three small amounts of recent date. Mr. Miller proved the attestation of the warrant of attorney, and Mr. Baron Alderson's clerk produced the affidavit of Ferris, in which he stated that ho had in structed his clerk, Rogers, to make inquiries as to Mr. Scott. Mark Briggs and Charles Field, journeymen carpen ters, were called to proye that the defendant kept no clerk. The first witness said he succeeded his father in the business, and was considered well to do. Lewis Levi was called to indentify the letters of Axon, which were tendered, but objected to by Mr. Sergeant Jones, and rejected. Mr. Sergeant JortEs (who was specially retained) then proceeded to address the jury for the defendant. He said the case alleged against the defendant was one of conspiracy and fraud—that he was c o nnect e d w ith Moreton, and obtained the bills by plot and contrivance, and that they having been so dishonestly obtained, the warrant of attorney was executed as the fruit of the con spiracy and fraud. He should meet the evidence ad duced ; he should show the utter groundlessness of the charge, and then he should ask the jury to declare by their verdict that the defendant was no party to the fraud. C. H. Gregory, chief engineer of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, deposed to having known and employed defendant for several years. He appeared to have a good business, and was an active, money-making man. James Rogers proved that he was partially engaged as clerk to Ferris : Was engaged the latter part of March to make out bills and keep bo o k s . H a d co ll ecte d f rom 3001. to 4001. for his employer between March and the present time, and had called at various places for sums amounting to 8901 At the end of May a person called, giving the name of Moreton. He told Mr. Ferris he h a d been referred to„hinaiby Mr. F au lk ner , an d th a t h e h a d a bill for 5 001 . he wished discounted. Ferris said he had lent o. 1 several it was not convenient. Moreton e sum to send into the sums,a and ndr r e g quested Ferris to advance 2 he might leave the bills, and sent countryoin a Ferris said large fewsaid h hea days,a large d witness to inquire about Mr. S co tt, w hi c h he did, an d reported to M r. F e rris , who then advanced 2001., and gave his I 0 U for 2001. more. Moreton came a few days afterwards with another bill for the sam e amo un t, upon which Mr. Ferris advanced in notes and gold 2001. more. 'rho witness was cross-oxamined, with a view to show that Ferris a business was not a large one. He also admitted that he had been a bankrupt, and that his certificate was refused for fraudulent preference, and for administering tho funds without as order from the Court. By the jury—Never heard Mr. Ferris ask Moreton how he got the bills. S. Nurse, publican, of Chales-street, Westminster, was ca ll e d t o prove that he had known defendant, who was a respectable man, to cash bills. Had heard a person ask him to discount a 1001. bill, for which ho asked ten per cent. Cross-examined—Have been to races with Mr. Ferris —to one horse race and a number of foot races; and had betted with him. W. Smith, of Princes -street, Brighton, hotel-keeper, deposed that he had borrowed money of defendant about two months ago. Had known applications for discounts made to him by many parties. Was at the meeting with Lawrence at Hatchett's Hotel. Lawrence met him in Piccadilly and asked if Ferris would allow him a liberal discount on the bills. Ferris said he would do so but that he had given 6001. for them. Lawrence then pointed out Abel as the person who would arrange the bills. Abel then caught hold of Ferris, and said, " Come along old fellow. Scott is inside. Have you any objection to see him?" Heard all that passed, and nothing whatever was said by Ferris about standing in. Did not hear him say he would give Lawrence 501. to allow him to " stand in." Scott said he had been robbed of the bills, and Mr. Ferris said he was sorry fur it, and that if Mr. Scott would give the 4001. he had advanced, and a guarantee for the 2001. I p U, he would give up the bills. Abel called Ferris aside, and said ho could get 3001., if he would let him stand in. Mr. Ferris said, " What do you mean by that, I only want to get back my money?" A row then ensued ; all the lot abused Ferris, and Ferris said that they were all thieves, and left the house. Knew John Bennett Faulkner, but ;lever had anything to do with the house he kept. He appeared to be a respectable man. Introduced him to Mr. Ferris at about the time of Epsom races. Had seen Mr. Ferris lend him money. Never knew Moreton connected with Ferris in any way. The witness was subjected to a searching cross-exami nation by Mr. COCKBURN, as to his habits of life, He admitted that he had been wandering about a good deal; that he had been in America looking for employ ment, and in France searching after runaway debtors , receiving a commission for such debts as he got. He had also, he s a id, b een pr i vate secretary t o the Charge d'Af faires of Naples. He bad once been imprisoned for a month for beating a man who had attacked him, and throwing a policeman over some railings. His father had at one time kept a gaming-house, but he was not a gamester. Inspector Shackell, of the detective force of London, deposed that he had known Ferris for nineteen years, and had borrowed money of him for some relations. He was in a good way of business. Witness had frequently been employed in detecting the bill -stealers of London. Never knew Ferris waeconnected with any of them. If he had been it is possible that witness would have known it. Cross examined—Had borrowed money of Ferris for Mr. Cauty—not for Captain Canty, but his brother. He formerly did keep a gambling-housF,. but not lately. Have not been e ngaged in compromising bill-stealin g transactions, but have boon employed in negotiate for the return of bills. Have not done so twenty times. Know Alves, the bill-stealer. I have gone to him a t th e prison, but never i n t ro duced Ferris. Alves has c a ll e d at my hous e . I h a d no thing to do with getting up the defendant's case. I did write to Norwich to inq u i re about Abel. I was asked about him, and said I knew A nothing bad of him, but wrote to inquire. Have not threatened tthe plaintiff's witnesses. I am told that I told La,wrc nce he would be transported if he got into the box, and I have apoligised for it as a joke, and said I was in liquor at the time, but I was not tipsy. Two journeymen carpenters, named Purbrook and Groome, w !re called to prove that the defendant was in a fair way if business. Mr. Thor nas Alley Jones, attorney for Ferris, was also called to s' sow that when the warrant of attorney was executed the plaintiff made no complaint against the defendant. Cross-ex st ained—He did not complain of my bill of costs, or th %t I had charged him 41. for a stamp although there was no stamp. The warrant was not stamped, and I did charge 4/. for a stamp. Re-examined—l afterwards paid 41. for the stamp and 51. penalty.. Mr. Coe 3t.ntram then replied at great length, contend ing that ti le facts as proved before the jury must lead to the inevib tble conclusion that the defendant Ferris was cognisant of the fraudulent mode in which the bills had been obtai nod from Mr. Scott. The Le samed JUDGE summed up the evidence at great length, at tel the jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict l'c.r the plaintiff. The case , which occupied the greater part of two days, excited the greatest interest, and the Court was crowded throughout. NORTrIERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 25. CROWN 4 JOURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CIZESSWELL.) Joseph Cuddy, Edward Murphy, and James O'Brian, were indi;cl - ,ed for having, at Liverpool, conspired toge ther with divers other persons to procure and transmit to Ireland large quantities of arms and other weapons, for the purpos e of being used for insurrectionary and other unlawful purposes. A second count charged the pri soners with have sent 1,000 pikes to Ireland for the purpose of` being used as aforesaid. The p risoners pleaded Not Guilty, and traversed until next ass ixe Thomas Lees, If m. Parry, Wm. Healey, Michael Morris, and James West, were indicted for having on th© Ist of May, and divers other days, conspired to ex cite disc of itent in the minds of her Majesty's subjects against the laws, to obstruct the execution of the laws, and to ma lie insurrections, routs, and riots, and that in pusuanee, of such conspiracy they did assemble together in large bodies, so as to create terror and alarm in the minds of: .her Majesty's subjects. The I?r.soners all pleaded Not Guilty, and declared their wi sh to be tried these assizes. James West was arraigned on an inddictment for drilling at Ashton, and pleaded Not Guilty. Francis• O'Donnell and Matthew Somers were arraigned on an indictment for conspiring to transmit arms to Ireland, st.ad with having done so to be used for insur rectional -3/ purposes. The p risoners pleaded Not Guilty, and traversed to the next ass iz,3s. John Flinn. Janes Downey, James Mooney, Owen Gunn, a ad Edward Birch, were arraigned on an indict ment for riotously assembling, with other persons, at Munches ter, armed with sticks and staves, and assaulting a constal They pleaded Not Guilty, and having been in custody twenty d iys, must be tried. . _ Peter array lif'Douall, the well-known Chartist leader, vi /Jo was out on bail, was called on to surrender to an ind ictment for a treasonable conspiracy, but did not appe. ttr. It is w aderstood that about thirty prisoners, against whom bi [ls have been found, were lodged in Kirlidale gaol. yes Corday. Wm. . Johnson (or Branagan), the man mentioned in M'Lane's. case yesterday, was arraigned on the coroner's inquisitit in, for the murder of the child at Ashton, but as t he grand jury ignored the bill, no evidence was add aced against him, and he was consequently ac quitted. Chark:s Gollagher, aged 20, who was charged with the murder of his wife, on the first night of their marriage, at Liverpool, was also arraigned on the coroner's inqui• sition; the grand jury having ignored the bill against him, and, no evidence being offered, he was acquitted. James Sandiford, aged 27, was indicted for a felo nious ase.ault on Alice Lingard, a child under ten years of age, t a Manchester, on the 21st of May. The j cry retired, and were absent about three hours, but at length found the prisoner Guilty, on which, the prisoner being called on, said he wished the age of the child to be inquired into. His LORDSHIP said there could be no reason to dispute the evidence of the parents on that point, or the finding of the jury as to the charge itself. That finding would but a short time ago have been followed by death, for it was the - worst case he had ever known, and he felt it was his duty to sentence the prisoner to be transported for life. His Lordship then passed that sentence on the pri soner. Thom as Rankin, and twenty-one other Manchester Chartists, were arraigned on an indictment charging them wi th conspiring to incite to insurrecitou. Thcy all pleaded Not Guilty. Many of them traversed, but many elected to take their trials now, and several, including Cmddy, O'Donnell, Somers, Murphy, and O'Brian, who elected in the morning to traverse, now expressed a wish to withdraw the traverse and be tried now. It is, however, understood that the Attorney-General will to morrow make a formal application to postpone the trials of those indictments where some of the accused have tra versed, on the ground that it would be ineligible to try some now, and some at a future assize, on the same in dictments. August 26. CROWN COURT-- - (Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL.) Varb>us sentences having been passed, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to postpone the trial of such as had not traversed in the case of the Queen v. Archdeacon, 45, and others, 22 of whom were in custody, and the greater part of whom had traversed. These were the Manchester Chartists. The trial was ordered to be postponed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then made a like applica tion in the case of the Queen v. Healy, and others, being 34 of the Ashton Chartists, and the same order was made, it being understood that large bail would not be required. Mr. Sergeant WiLXINS made a like application in the case of the Queen v. Birch, and four others, also Man chester Chartists, but having no affidavit of not being ready, his Lordship said he felt bound to try the case. Peter Murray M‘Douall here surrendered, and Mr. Sergeant WILK'Ns moved to rescind the order to estreat the recognizances of himself and bail. His LORDSHIP assented ; he had not signed the order. The prisoner was then arraigned on an indictment, which charged him, in the first count, with a seditious conspiracy. lie had been committed for making a sedi tious speech at a meeting, and now Mr. Sergeant WILKINS and Mr. rem,ocz submitted that the prisoner was of right entitled to traverse; and four cases were mentioned, whero the prisoners had been committed for felony, and on the bill being thrown out, a bill for misdemeanour found; on which the judges held the parties respectively entitled to traverse. It was answered by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL that the cases cited did not apply, as the indictments were for wholly different offences from those for which they had been committed; whereas, in this case, the recogni zances were to answer a charge of sedition. His LORDSHIP said be must consider the case with re ference to the commitment, and he thought the charge of conspiracy so different from the charge of making a seditious speech, that he was inclined to allow the pri soner to traverse. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then said that he would enter a nolle prosequi as to the count for conspiracy. Mr. Sergeant WILEINS said they were taken by sur prise by that course, and they were in reality not pre pared for the trial, having relied on their right to tra verse. His LORDSHIP said he would postpone the case till Monday, but it would require a very strong affidavit to induce him not to take it then, and he advised them to be prepared to try then. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS then proposed that the pri soner should bo let out of custody on the same bail. This was opposed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the ground that he had already had to move to estreat the recgnizances to force the prisoner to surrender. His LORDSHIP retired, and on his returning said that, under the extraordinary circumstances, he had thought it right to consult Mr. Justice Erle, and he agreed with him, that the prisoner should be detained in custody till his trial on Monday. He was detained in custody accordingly. CIVIL COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) FURRELL V. HARRISON. This was an action for work and labour, for wages, by which the plaintiff sought to recover 431. 10s. The defendant pleaded never indebted; secondly, that the claim arose out of an employment as mate on board the Cora, and that the defendant was entitled to deduct the residue of wages otherwise due for wilful loss by the plaintiff of part of the ship's stores, to wit, the anchor and cable, alleged to be worth more than the sum of 431. 10s. To the latter plea the plaintiff replied, denying the loss to be by his default, and whether it was or was not was really the question between the parties. The case having been heard, The jury almost immediately found for the plaintiff, debt 431. 10s., the full amount. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. TRIAL OF ROBERT CROWE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Mr. PARRY rose to address the jury on the part of the prisoner. He trusted they would not deal harshly with the young man in the dock, as, like most Irishmen, he was a person of warm imagination and warm feelings, and if he had uttered the words imputed to him, he had done so under great excitement, occasioned by the extraordinary events which were passing around him. No doubt, in writing the address which had been put in evidence, the prisoner thought he was doing something very grand and patriotic, that would immortalize him. Perhaps he would have published that wild rhapsody, but no publisher would ever dream of doing so, except, indeed, the Attorney-General.—( Laughter.) He (Mr. Parry) did not believe that a Republican feeling existed in any niche or corner of this country, nor could he believe that even the lowest order of Irish, such as were re presented to have attended the meeting in question, would have applauded the expression " To hell with the Queen." It was nothing but a cunningly devised statement which had been concocted by a policeman who attended meet ing after meeting, until he at last got something important to report to his inspector. He contended that the best tes timony had not been given on the part of the Crown to substantiate the heinous crime of sedition, because instead of having a policeman in plain clothes, they ought to have had the evidence of a short-hand writer or a reporter, who were m en o f e d ucat i on, an d f rom th e i r position in life were bey on d th e s li g h test susp i c i on. Th e j ur y should remember that the questi o n b e f ore th e m was, not the vindi cation of the m a j es t y o f t h e l aw —b ecause it had . been amply vindicated, and co u ld b e f or th e f u ture, by the impartial ad ministration of justice, if the occasion should arise—but the question was whether the evidence was of such a character . as to warrant th e j ury i n d epen ding upon it The Policeman which was not a large Brothers received on ly 16 s . Bd. a week, sum for a young ma n 23 years of age, was sent, the first week after entering the police, to report speeches at Chartist meetings. He asked the iury to pause before they gave credit to his evidence. The Learned C< )unsel having referred to other passages in the report,..alludet Ito the celebrated case of Algernon Sidney, to show the dal iger of judging from dis jointed sentences. He was accused of saying "there is no God," but the first part of the sentence which was quoted from the Bible had been omitted by the reporter, and it ought to have run thus—" The fool bath said in his heart that there is no God." The omission had, therefore, entirely altered the context. Was it, then, said Mr. Parry, a wonder that the prisoner and other Irish men should be dissatisfied with the manner in which their country was ruled, when popular agitators for years had promulgated what were called the wrongs of Ireland. if they were to read the speeches of every statesman, from the reign of George the Third until the present time, including the present Prime Minister, they' would find that they con sidered Ireland had been ill treated, and that the existing institutions were not adapted to t hat country. Having made those observations, he would couctrtde by quoting the observa tion of Mr. Brougham on the trial of Queen Caroline, that he was not called upon to answer a case which had not been sufficiently made out. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied to the speech of the Learned Counsel. ➢ir. Baron PLATT having carefully summed up the whole evidence, The jury then retired, and vrere absent more than two hours, when they returned a verdict of Guilty, bet at the same time expressed their opini an that it would be better in such cases to have the evidence of two witnesses. The Learned JUDGE remarkefi that it was no doubt more advisable, but at the same time such a course was not always practicable. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,. MANSION-BOUSE. On Saturday John Hathaway, master of the Lalla Roolth iron steamboat, plying between London-bridge and Kew, appeared before the Lord Mayor, upon an in formation charging him with having obstructed the na vigation of the river at hew-B r idge. Mr. Martin, from the City . Solicitor's office, attended for the prosecution, and: the company's secretary and solicitor appeared for the defer ce. An attempt was made to get rid of the charge by stating that as the impediment was said to have been caused at Kew, the magistrate in that district ought to have been applied to. The LORD MAYOR said the objection would not hold, as the information was drawn under the Navigation Act, which gave the Lord Mayor jurisdiction as far as Staines. Mr. Martin said there was a towing-path along the Thames, which was constantly used by barges, and the obstruction of which he complained interfered with this long established right, a violation of which could not be tolerated, even though the pub . ,lic convenifince might have been, to a certain extent, in the opinion of the pro prietors, increased by the course pursued by the de fendant. Richard Humphries, assietunt collector at the City Toll-house, which is about 150 yards from Kew-bridge, stated that on Saturday, the 119 th instant, his attention was called to the Leila Rookh steamer, which was partly under the right arch of the bridge, at nearly high water, and remained there else ut half an hour. During that time four barges had to pass close to the towing path; but, in consequence of the position in which the Lalla Rookh lay, they were 'obliged to shoot through the second instead of the first arch of the bridge. For the defence it was stated that, in the first place, no obstruction at all had taken place, and, in the Se cond, that the steamers had an undoubted right to land their passengers at the spot which the Lalla Rookh was accused of having occupied. Mr. Layton, coal and corn-merchant, a tenant of Kew bridge-wharf, was called for the defence, but he did not deny the fact that the position of the steamer prevented the barges from passing through the first arch. lie stated that barges had been lying in the river close to his wharf for two or three days. Mr. Martin submitted, that in the attempt to get over the information it had been proved by the wharfowner that he had himself committed an offence. The LORD MAYOR said it was evident that two wrongs could not make one right, and convicted the defendant. The secretary to the company said the tradespeople and residents of Kew felt greatly the want of the ac commodation which the wharf afforded for the steamboat passengers. The LORD MAYOR said, he had no doubt of the dis position of the Navigation Committee to give every rea • sonable accommodation to the people of Kew, hut it was his business to prevent any obstruction to the navigation. As he did not at all consider the case an aggravated one, he should limit the penalty to 51. Notice was then given of appeal. GUILDHALL. On Saturday Mr. George Martin, the keeper of the City Greenyard, was summoned before Alderman Fern comb, by Robert Hedges, for unlawfully detaining a horse, of the value of 121., the said horse having been taken to his yard on Wednesday morning. Mr. J. Duncombe, solicitor, of Red Lion•square, said that he appeared on behalf of the Licensed Hackney Car riage Protection Society to make a complaint against Mr. Martin, the keeper of the City Greenyard, for what he considered a monstrous imposition. The facts of the case were simply these:—On Wednesday morning, be tween one and two o'clock, a cab was called to convoy a gentleman from Union-court, opposite St. Andrew's Church. The driver happened to leave for a few minutes, when the police took the horse and cab to the Greenyard; and, on the complainant applying for their restoration, a demand of 13s. was made, although they had only been in the custody of the defendant from about two o'clock in the morning until half-past eight. Mr. Hedges refused to comply with such a demand, and tendered what he considered a fair remuneration, namely, 4s. 6d., which was refused, and the horse and cab were still in the custody of the defendant. For the information of the worthy Alderman he would mention, that in the county the subject of greenyard fees was brought before the magistrates at Bow-street some short time back, and, after a proper investigation, they came to the conclusion that the county sum of Bs. was exorbitant, and accordingly reduced the amount to the sum of 4s. 6d. Therefore, under those circum stances, he did not see why such an imposition (for ho could hardly call it less) should be allowed to exist in the City. The charges were extortionate when it was taken into consideration that a gentleman could leave his brougham and horse at any livery-stables, where the horse would be fed, the carriage cleaned, and got ready to go out the next morning, for the small sum of 3s. 6d. Here was a vast difference. There was another point which he wished to remark upon, and that was, why the horse and cab were taken at all to the Greenyard, as no charge had been made against the driver, who arrived at Mr. Martin's premises before they were taken in; no summons had been taken out, and in fact no proceeding whatever against the com plainant's driver, and yet ho,(Mr. Hedges) was required to pay the enormous charge for a few hours' accommoda tion. The subject had often been mentioned before, and a communication made to Mr. D. W. Harvey, the Com missioner of Police, who considered it an imposition, and afterwards a memorial was forwarded and sent to the Court of Aldermen, but unfortunately (although it was presented some months back) no notice had been taken of it, at least so far as he was aware of. He was sureswhen he referred to the different items, the alderman would agree with him that they were too heavy. If the horse and cab remained only for a short time the charge would be ls. 3d. per wheel, ls. for entrance into the yard, and 3s. for the horse. He contended that either the horse and cab ought to have been taken to some livery-stable, or a reasonable charge made for their accommodation by the defendant. Mr. Martin said that he had only made the charges sanctioned by the Court of Alderman, and produced his book to verify his assertion. Alderman FARNCOMB having looked at it, said that it was a case in which he had no jurisdiction, and therefore could go no further into it. The only course he could advise the complainant to adopt was to pay the fees, and afterwards memorialise the Court of Aldermen on the excessive charges referred to. Mr. Duncoinbe thanked the Alderman for his sugges gestion, and all the parties then left the court. The amount of the fees appeared to have been regu lated by a committee of the Court of Common Council, and ratified at a full meeting of the Court. William MARLBOROGH-STREET. Drinkwater, th U e conductor of one of the Bayswater omnibuses, was summoned before Mr. Hard wick for misbehaviour to a passenger. The case arose out of the practice, principally confined to the Bays water omnibuses, of taking what they call short passen ger fares to and from Charing-cross, and charging half fare one day, and then changing the place for dividing the fares to the Quadrant, perhaps the next day: By this system the Bayswater omnibus conductors contrive to trick a number of persons into the payment of the whole fare instead of the half-fare, which the passengers expected to pay when they got into the omnibus, and which they had before paid. This sort of trick acts ;with pecular hardship in the case of poor persons, who may be able to sp are 3d . f or a r i de, b ut who would walk if they knew they would be charged 6d. The complainant, Mr. Watts, proved that he got into the defendant's omnibus in Fleet-street, and he was put down at the Quadrant. He gave the conductor 3d., the fare he had been accustomed to pay for the same distance by the same class of omnibuses scores of times. The conductorde• nsauded 6d.; the demand was resisted,:and the complainant tendered his name and address. The defendant would not receive it, was rough in his conduct, abusive in lan guage, and, laying hold of the complainant's arm, de clared his determination of finally detaining him until he paid his demand of 6d. The complainant told the con ductor to summon him in the proper way if he thought he had ground for so doing, and the conductor, finding that he could not obtain his demand, released the com plainant, and went off. The complainant admitted that 6d. was the fare the whole distance, that 3d. to Charing cross was on the omnibus on a placard; but he rested his resistance to the payment of the whole fare on the ground of having paid the half-fare for the sam e di stance almost daily for months, and that this was the usual charge of the Bayswater omnibuses. The defendant, through his solictor, pleaded that he had a right to demand 6d., that being his legal fare. Mr. Ilaanwseis said, he must not look at the indivi dnal case, but at the public question involved in it. If omnibus proprietors chose to adopt th e system of divid -1 ing or reducing their legal fares, and if they varied their distance and charges from time to time, they must ex pect to have differences with their passengers and re sistance to their demands. In those cases where parties who had been accustomed to pay one fare chose to resist a demand for another fare, it could not be tolerated that the conductor should endeavour to obtain his demand by menace, or rude or insulting conduct. Where an address was tendered, the conductor must take it, un less indeed there was clear ground for believing the ad dress to be fictitious, and ho must pursue his remedy according to the m o d e prescribed by law. But certainly y conductor must violent hands ands on a passenger, c a o lle ct a mob about and apply abusive language, in order to accomplish his object. The solicitor said, the name and address, in ordinary cases, might not be correct. (Mr. thnowicK said this was a contingency which persons in the situation of the defendant must put up with. He could not - pass over the untrdutt — etre de fendant, as proved in evidence, and he would therefore inflict a fine of IN. and costs. The money Iv- -id y was pain. A summons against the complainant, for non-payment of the fare, which had been taken out after the summons for misconduct had been served!on the defendant, wa s called on. Tho complainant said he did not intend to dispute the point. He would pay the demand and costs. TV E ST MIA STEIL Mr. T. Mitchell, of Great Peter-street, Westminster , was summoned for neglecting to move and discontinue a. nuisance, caused by ware h ous i ng a large quan tity of bones, and boiling fat. The prosecution was at the instance of the Paving Committee of St. John's, Westminster, and their soli citor and clerk, Mr. Walmesley, stated that it was in' stituted with a view to the preservation of the public health. Sonic of the defendant's neighbours having complained of the offensive smell arising from th e warehousing of bones, and melting of kitchen stuff, notice was given to the defendant to abate the nuisance within three days. lie, however, still continued to exercise the trade so as to be offensive to his neigh" bours, and the present proceedings were adopted. TWO respectable tradesmen complained of the offensive smells, and stated that three medical men had said that those smells were detrimental to health. One declared that his tenants in the neighbourhood had threatened to leave their tenements unless the nuisance was abated, and the i other stated that hi s f am il y h a d f or a long t i me suffer" from sickness, imputable to the impurity of the sir, n$ terially caused by the defendant's operations. It wa s also shown that there was a mass of bones and fat on his premises. The defendant declared that the magistrate bed n ° jurisdiction, and therefore did not enter into any de fence. Mr. BunnELL, however, fined him 20s. per dsl f at five days' continuance after notice. The defendant, w h o gave notice of appeal, w ssheld to bail in his own recognizance for threatening the In' Spector of Nuisances. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. DIVIDENDS.
