CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. MISDEMBANOIIR.-CHA.RGE OF RIOT. (Contionnedfrom our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mrs.. Reid, the wife of the prosecutor, and sister to the defendant Usher, was examined, in corrobo ration, of the evidence given by her husband. George Langridge proved the riot and confusion that took place, but did not see any of the defendants take part in it except Partridge and Usher. After the examination of several other witnesses, who proved the riot and confusion that took place, Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury for the de fendants, and called several witnesses for the purpose of proving that a partnership existed between the prosecutor Reid and the defendant Usher. Mr. BiLLANTINE replied upon the evidence ad duced on behalf of the defendants. The RECORDER summed up ; and The jury found Partridge, Lawford, John Lau rence, the younger, and Us her Guilty; and Ac quitted John Laurence, the elder, and Thomas Laurence. The jury also found that no partner ship existeil• between the defendant Usher and the prosecutor. The prosecutor strongly recommended all the prisoners to the mercy of the Court. The RECORDER sentenced Usher to three months' imprisonment and hard labour; and Partridge, Law ford, and John Laurence the younger, to one month's imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BuLLocx.) The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning in trying cases prosecuted by her Majesty's Mint. The only case presenting any feature of in terest was one in which two very respectable-looking women, named Caroline Jones and Rachel Levy were charged with w hat is commonly k nown as " ringing the changes, a system they evidently had carried on for a considerable time, and to a large extent. Three cases were proved against the prisoners— and, from the evidence, it appeared that in each cane they had purchased some trifling article, and tendered * good 51. note in payment. When they received the change, they found that they had cash enough to pay without changing paper, and in returning the change, to receive back their note, they substituted a coun terfeit for a good sovereign. They seemed to have carried on this trade with considerable ingenuity, and were familiar to the officers of ,he Mint. When de • tected at last by a confectioner's counterman, they assumed a very indignant manner, and vehemently denounced him for daring to attribute any criminality to them. The jury unhesitatingly found them Guilty, and the Court ordered each to be imprisoned with hard labour for eighteen calendar months. The defrauded tradesmen were repaid out of the bank-notes found upon the prisoners. Henry Butt, 42, pleaded guilty to an indictment, which charged him with embezzling and stealing 31. 7s. 6d., 71. 6s. 4d., and other sums of money belong ing to John Yeoman Rood, his employer. Witnesses were called who gave the prisoner a good 25 years' character. Sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. James Dowling, 50, was indicted for stealing eight ounces of tea, the property of the St. Katherine's Dock Company. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Sentenced to two months' hard labour. John Gordon, late a general postman, was indicted for unlawfully obtaining, by false pretences, a half crown, the money of H. J. Langton, a half-crown, the money o f J os . Rownson an d ot h ers , an d two shillings, the moneys of Robert Branston, with intent to cheat and defraud them of the same. The facts of this case have already appeared in our police intelligence, under the head of Guildhall. None of the parties who appeared to prosecute, however, could positively identify the prisoner as the person to whom they paid the money. In absence of positive proof as to identity, the jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Samuel Uriah Staler, the Newington letter carrier, was brought up for final examination upon the charges of having forged an order for the payment of money, and with having uttered a forged indorsement to a bill of exchange. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, the solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Pro tection against Forgeries and Frauds, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Nobler attended for the prisoner. The whole of the evidence which was detailed at the former examination of the prisoner was read over, the depositions were signed, and the prisoner was committed for trial. Mr. Mullens said he had mentioned in stating the ease in the first instance, that the prisoner had in closed a number of postage stamps in the letter to one of the banking houses, in order to make up the money in such a manner as that the concern could transmit to him the whole amount demanded in even money. It would, he gave notice to Mr. Hobler, be shown upon the trial that some more postage stamps were found by John Forrester at the house of the prisoner, and that they corresponded with the stamps which had been sent to the banking house, and from which it was evident they had been separated. Mr. nobler expressed much doubt as to the efficacy of such testimony. Mr. Mullens observed that it would be for the jury to decide upon that point. The prisoner was then conveyed to Newgate. The LORD MAYOR said he found that the advertise ment frauds were still vigorously practised, as the public would see by the following correspondence, the publication of which in the newspapers would, in his opinion, operate as a corrective more effectually than any other system of exposure or caution : "Kirriemuir, 28th December, 1847.

To be paid in advance. Address to Henry Hunton, newsvendor, 29, Farringdon• street, City, London.' On the 13th current, I wrote this Mr. Hunton, inquiring if I rightly understood his advertisement, and whether he would supply me with a copy of the Times in terms of it. In answer I received the letter and printed letter, which I take the liberty to inclose. (Here appeared the ad vertisement above copied, and the following few lines :—) " 29, Farringdon-street, London, Dec., 47. Sir,—ln reply to yours, I beg to say that I will Post and send the paper, according to my advertise ment. " ' I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " ' HY. HUNTON.' "I then wrote, with the necessary remittance, by post-offic e order, to send me the Times forone quarter ; but no newspaper has yet reached here. I have since written Mr. Bunton, but no answer has yet come to hand. On inquiry at the publishers of one of our local papers in which the advertisement appeared, I received the letter from which I annex an excerpt. "Ifit be not possible to bring such a person to punishment, may I ask the favour of your Lordship noticing these ci rcumstances in the Police-court, that the public may he on their guard against this new in vention of the London sharpers.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, yo ur L ordship ' s most obedient ser vant, 4, To the Right Hon. the Lord N"lGa3; o ß r .

He trusted that he should, through the press, have to return many thanks for the contributions of the liberal and humane. GUILDHALL. George Carter, the driver of one of Wilson's Islington omnibuses, was brought before Sir Chap man Marshall, charged with having caused the death of a poor woman named Smith. The policeman, who had apprehended the prisoner, stated that he had no evidence to offer against the prisoner, but that he was directed to be apprehended by a letter from Mr. Bedford, the coroner, who w as about to hold an inquest, but deemed it proper that the prisoner should be first taken into custody. Th e letter was in the hands of Mr. Spary, the superin tendent of the police. The affair occurred on the 20th December, in Chancery-lane, and the woman was buried on the 28th. She was now to be disin terred by order of the coroner. The prisoner said he was taken by surprise at that moment, but he could bring half a dozen people to prove that he was not to blame. The woman was not knocked down by the horses. She was walking on the pavement, when something caused her to slip down. Her body fell on the pavement, but her legs projected beyond it at the moment his omnibus • Mr. Games hoped his Worship would be satisfied FORTUNE-TELLINGPAPERS.—As some factory girls of Fronse were, on Thursday week, returning to their work from breakfast, over a long, narrow bridge, they picked up some folded papers, which the first breath of wind would have carried into the water. " La! what is it?" " Oh!" said another, " they be fortune-telling papers what the witchery people carry." So they went up to their own shop, and parted the curiosities amongst their shop-mates. Luckily, one of them, at dinner time, showed one of these fortune-telling papers to her father. who at once saw that it was a 51. note, and immediately collected the others, amounting to 251. This sum had been dropped by one of the men, who had been en trusted with it by his master to pay a bill. It is singular that these girls, who were from fourteen to seventeen years of age, did not actually know a 5/. note, never having seen one before. The reader, however, may think that the girls were quite right in their conjecture, that they were fortune-telling papers, and very bewitching.— Bristol Paper. MADAME LAFFARGE AGAIN.—FrOM the depths of her ignominy and solitude has that restless, unquiet spirit found means to inflict a deep, envenomed wound upon the man whom she persists in denominating her murderer. It appears that she has been devoting the whole of her time of late to the study of medicine; and among other scientific works which have fallen into her hands, those of Orfila, the great medical authority whose testimony upun her trial turned the balance of justice against her, have met with her most serious attention. It appears that on rising from a steady and calm perusal of these works, she has discovered the most gross and flagrant contradictions, not only from one work to ano ther, but no less than seven in the same volume. Here upon she has written a triumphant letter to her enemy, in which she taxes him with ignorance and uncertainty, and asks how he dares thus to trifle as he has done with the lives of the living and the reputation of the dead. She has taken fresh courage from this discovery, and has risen at length from her bed, consenting to don the prison clothes, and take an office in the prison. She has chosen that of waiting on the sick, and is unremitting in her attendance at the infirmary. What an extraor dinary coincidence with the Marquise de Brinvilliers!— Atlas. THE SEE or lIEREFORD. The confirmation of the Rev. 1)r. Hampden as Bishop of Hereford, will take place at Bow Church, Cheapside, but the precise day has not as yet been fixed, the royal mandate, confirming the decision of the dean and chapter, not having passed the great seal. The annual value of the see is 4,200/., with the patronage of the archdeaconries, chancellorship, treasurerships, non-resident canonrics, and 32 benefices. The diocese includes the greater part of the counties of Salop, Worcester, Monmouth, Radnor, and Mont gomery. Dr. Musgrave, now Archbishop of York, was appointed to it in 1837.

Sir CHAPAtax MARSHALL observed that the case had proceeded as if the driver were not blameable. He was not taken into custody at the time, nor when the woman died, and in the absence of proof of criminal negligence, he would take bail for the pri soner's attendance hereafter. The prisoner procured bail and was liberated. CLERKENWELL. RUFFIANLY OUTRAGE.—Patrick Foy and Timothy Duggan, powerful looking Irishmen, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with having , been concerned in a dreadful outrage on Mr. Peter Cowell, of the Bricklayers' Arms, Whitecross-s treet, St. Luke's, and several o ffi cers of the G division, whose lives are in extreme danger, in consequence of the in juries they received. Mr. Sidney, solicitor, of Hatton-garden, attended for the prisoner Foy. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Cowell, and several officers, who were covered with bruises, that on the evening of Monday, the 27th of December, a mob of between forty and fifty of the lower order of Irish assembled together in the neighbourhood of Whitecross-street, armed with bludgeons, &c., and paraded the various streets, hallooing in a violent manner, and conducting themselves most out rageously, demanding Christmas boxes from li censed victuallers and the various tradesmen. They at length paid a visit to Mr. Cowell, forced their way in, and made an unprovoked attack upon him whilst he was behind the bar, and injured him severely. The prisoner Foy was the ringleader, and fought most desperately. Information was at length communicated to the police at Featherstone street, and a strong party of the force was instantly dispatched to the spot. They requested them to desist and go peaceably to their homes, but thin seemed only to have the effect to stimulate them to further violence, and they made a simultaneous attack on the officers. Several of the constables were divested of their truncheons, with which they were maltreated about their heads in a violent manner, and left for dead on the ground. The officers were obliged to retreat for their own personal safety, but they were pursued for some distance, until a reinforcement of the police arrived. Foy was taken into custody, when a cry was raised to rescue him. Constable 81 G took another of the rioters into custody, when the prisoner Duggan attacked the officer, beat him about the head, kicked and beat him, and left him bleeding and in sensible on the ground. Duggan escaped, but Foy, after a desperate resistance, was secured and taken to the station-house. Elston, 246 G, deposed that Foy knocked down three of the officers successively, and then attacked witness, who was severly injured. William Constable, 81 G, who was in a very weakly state from injuries received, deposed that Foy was very violent, and fought at every body right and left. He kicked Peake, 125 G, and jumped upon him when he was down. He also attacked Weyman, 147 G, kicked him on the abdomen, &c., and he was considerably injured. Other officers, who exhibited bruises, gave similar testimony. Mr. Peter Cowell, of the Bricklayers' Arms, Whitecross-street, gave confirmatory evidence. Mr. Mayhew, surgeon, deposed that he had at teiided the injured officers. One of them was in great danger. 147 CT was suffering from a wound on the head three inches and a half in length, and went to the bone of the skull, probably inflicted by a trun cheon. He was in a dangerous state. The blow was so very violent that the jaw was fixed for several days. His ribs were also broken. His arms and hands were injured and sprained. He had evidently been jumped and trampled upon. Mr. Sydney, for the defence, attempted to set up an alibi for Foy, and called same witnesses, who failed in that object, and he then suggested that bail should be taken. Mr. COMBS declined accepting bail, saying it was one of the most cowardly outrageous proceedings that he had ever heard of. He should eventually commit the prisoners for trial, but he would now remand them for a week to ascertain the fate of tho injured policemen.—They were then locked up. with their own recognizances ; and after a protracted examination the prisoners were liberated, upon th e ir entering into their own securities to attend on a future day.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN EDINBURGH. On Friday evening a fire broke out in the engine house in connexion with the extensive printing establishment of Messrs A. Fullarton and Co., pub lishers, Stead's-place, Leith-walk. In anticipation of the new-year, the whole of the individuals employed in the establishment were granted a holiday in the afternoon, so that the premises were closed fully an hour and a half previous to the breaking out of the fire. At the outset it did not present a very alarming appearance, and it is said that it might easily have been subdued had there been a sufficient quantity of water, and individuals numerous enough to assist in its extinction. From the inflammable nature of the materials, the fire soon, however, assumed such a mastery that all attempts to confine its ravages to the place in which it was first discovered be came impracticable. Mr. Wood and the Edin burgh fire-brigade arrived at the scene of con flagration about three-quarters of an hour after the alarm was given ; but owing to the scarcity of water, some time elapsed before the engines could be brought into play. Indeed, so limited was the supply of water during the whole time the fire lasted, that one of the five engines present (four from Edinburgh, and one from Leith) was kept pumping water out of a burn at the rear of the pre , mises to supply the hose of the others. The fire con tinued to wax stronger as it went upwards, until reaching the third storey, which was used as a ware house for the storage of printed books in a finished and unfinished state, it burst forth with great fierce ness and intensity—illuminating the horizon for miles around. In a very short time thereafter, the whole of the upper storey of the building, extending in length to about a hundred yards, was in a complete blaze. The roofs of the different compartments into which the premises were divided speedily fell a sacri fice to the devouring element. Through the ener getic efforts of the fire- brigade, the fire was eventually subdued about eleven o'clock, but not until the second and third storeys of the extensive building were completely swept by its ravages. The lower storey, with the exception of the engine-house in which the fire originated, is preserved, but it must be con siderably injured by the immense quantity of water which was poured upon the premises. In the second storey, which was used as the composing -room, the fire progi eased but slowly, so that time was afforded for the removal of the greater quantity of the cases and types; and as the lower storey escaped with com paratively little injury, the printing presses and machinery will be saved. In addition to the loss sustained by the destruction of books in a finished and unfinished state, a number of valuable copper and steel plates have been destroyed. Altogether, the damage done must amount to several thousands ; but we are glad to learn that the Messrs. Fullerton are insured to an amount that will go far to cover the most of it. The property, which belongs to Mr. M'Murray, wire-cloth manufacturer, is also insured. Mr. M'Murray's own manufactory, which is con nected with the premises consumed, 'ran a great risk of being set on fire ; and, indeed, it is scarcely pos sihle that it could have escaped but for the exertions of Mr. Wood and his fire-brigade. We observed several of the city authorities present, lending their assistance and advice during the conflagration. We may state, in conclusion, that upwards of 120 indi viduals will be thrown out of employment by this calamity. It has not been ascertained how the fire originated. Scarcely had the alarm created by the above con flagration subsided, until a report was communicated to the police that another fire had broke out in the workshop of Messrs. Hay and Addis, plumbers and brassfounders, Hill-street-lane. The lieutenant on duty immediately dispatched a special messenger to Mr. Wood and the fire-brigade, who hastened to the spot with three engines, leaving one to play upon the burning embers of Messrs. Fullarton and,Co.'s estab lishment. Unfortunately, one of the engines, in coming down the Mound, which was in a slippery condition, run violently against a lamp-post, which it it levelled. In consequence of the force of the con cussion, one of the firemen, who was riding upon the engine, fell to the ground, and received, among other serious injuries, the fracture of his collar-bone. The fire, meanwhile, had been blazing for upwards of . an hour, and but for the activity of a number of individuals who kept pouring water upon the roof of the counting-house at the rear of the premises, the flames might have communicated to the shop in George- street—all three, shop, counting-house, and workshop, being connected together—when a fearful amount of damage might have been the result. The three engines, as soon as they were fairly commenced to play, did such effectual service that the fire was confined entirely to the premises in which it origi nated. We learn that a large quantity of lead and other materials have been destroyed; and as for the building itself, none of it remains except the bare walls. Captain Robertson, of the 71st Regiment, on hearing of the fire, immediately proceeded to the spot with the Castle engine; but by this time the fire had been got so much under that their services were not required. Whatever else may be said of the ushering in of the new year, tbis at all events is true, that its advent has been marked by two of the greatest fires that have occurred in this city for a long period.— Scotsman.

CHARGE OF BILL STEALING.— William Chandler and William James Loughten, alias Rippleside, who have been in custody since Saturday last on a charge of obtaining two bills for 2501. each from Captain Shrapnel by false representations, were placed at the bar for further examination. Mr. Hope, a solicitor, attended on the part of Cap tain Shrapnel for the prosecution, and Mr. Games ap peared for the prisoners. The evidence taken on Saturday having been read, Captain Henry Needham Scrope Shrapnel entered the witness-box, and bn being sworn deposed that on the 23d of November last he saw an advertisement in the United Serrice Gazette, which ran thus : " Money ready to be advanced on real or personal security, in amounts not less than 1001. nor exceed ing .5,000/. Letters from principals or their solici tors only, to be addressed (paid) to Mr. Rippleside, Ashly's post-office, North Brixton ;" and being in want of some cash, he had replied to it by letter. To this he received an answer by return of post, from the prisoner Chandler. A correspondence followed on the subject of his having some money advanced on his acceptances, and Chandler wrote to him to be in town on Tuesday, the 21st of December, when he promised to get his bills discounted to the amount of 3001. or 5001. He (Captain Shrapnel) accordingly came to town from Gosport, on the 21st, and the prisoner Chandler, on the same evening, called on him at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden, when he introduced himself, and said he was the person who had obtained for him an advance of 2,0001. some years ago, on his property, and added, he should-be happy to get him any money he then wanted from the same person. Mr. NORTON—Was that the fact, that the prisoner Chandler had got you 2,000/. advanced upon your property ? Captain Shrapnel—Not at all, sir ; that loan was negotiated through a Mr. Douglas ; but Chandler, I believe, was connected in some way or other with the office where the deeds were made out, and by this means became acquainted with the fact. The other prisoner (Loughten) was a stranger to him. He (Captain Shrapnel) told Chandler that he wanted 5001., and his reply was, that he could get it at once for him upon his bills. He then suggested that he should draw two bills for 2501. each ; and he did so upon stamps which he (witness) purchased. These Chandler took away with him, but-on the fol lowing day returned, and said that Mr. Morton, a gentleman residing in Manchester-square, and who was going to advance the money on the bills, objected to one of them, and said he proposed that one should be a bill drawn in the ordinary way, and not a pro missory note. He (Chandler) at the same time pro. duced a stamp, and drew on witness at six months for 250/., and requested him to accept it, which he did. Chandler then took away this bill and the promissory note, and not only promised, but gave an undertaking in writing to that effect, that he should return them or 4251. on the following even ing, but he had not seen him from that time to the present. Mr. Games—Now, Captain Shrapnel, are you pre pared to swear that you should be provided with the means to take these two bill 3 of 5001. up in six months ? Captain Shrapnel—l swear I should. Mr. Games—Perhaps you would explain to the Magistrate how you would be prepared to meet the bills ? Captain Shrapnel—l don't think lam bound to do so. I can only say that they should be pro vided for. Mr. Games—Pray what does your property consist of ? Captain Shrapnel—Of houses and land. Mr. Games—Have you made a return to the Insol vent Debtors' Court of this property ? Captain Shrapnel—l have. In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, Captain Shrapnel said that he had consented to give a security that would be available, in the event of his not taking up his bills when they arrived at maturity, and that the prisoner Chandler had led him to believe that Mr. Morton, of Manchester-square, was the person who was to advance the money on the bills. Mr. William Mabberly, the gentleman who had given the prisoner into custody, and who was ex amined on Saturday, was next put into the witness box, and stated that on Sunday last Mr. Morton called on him, and said he had seen in the newspapers an account of the examination of the prisoners, and in which it was also stated that he (Mr. Morton) had received one of the hills to discount. He admitted having received one of the bills from Chandler, and intended discounting it, but could not do so quite so soon as he (Chandler) requested. Chandler, he also represented, had requested an advance on the bill, saying that Capt. Shrapnel required some money to p a y his hotel expenses before - he left town, and he in consequence gave him 201. In his cross-examination the witness admitted seeing the prisoner Chandler at Horsmonger-lane gaol on the day before, but denied having told him that if he paid 10/. or 121. the expenses which the captain had been put to, the charge should not be proceeded with. His reason for going to the prisoner, he said, was to as certain whether he had really received 201. on the bill. Chandler at first said he had only 101., but ultimately admitted he had 201. The witness added that Mr. Morton was very willing to give up the hill, provided th e 201. h e h a d advanced was paid to him. Mr. NORTON was of opinion that, taking the whole of the ci rcums t ances into consideration, and the par ticular fact of the complainant not having mentioned a word to the prisoners about his recent insolvency, be did not think that a criminal charge could be sup ported against the prisoners. He had no objection, however, to hold them to bail to attend on a future day, if the prosecutor should desire it. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. G.

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAT.—The first of the meet ings preliminary to the usual quarterly meeting of iron -masters, was held at the hotel, Dudley, to-day, and was numerously attended, representatives from the most extensive firms in South Staffordshire and Shropshire being present. A long discussion took place on the present de pressed state of the trade ; and ultimately a consider able reduction in prices was determined upon. Sheets, which last quarter day were quoted at 131. 105., were fixed at 11/. 10s. ; bars were reduced from 101. to 81., and hoops from 101. 10s. to 81. Bs. The price of pigs depending altogether on accidental circumstances, could not be fixed, but at present, and for the best sorts, the price ranges from 31. 15s. to 41. ss. The prevailing opinion, however, seemed to be, that in consequence of the number of furnaces out of blast pigs, the supply will soon be diminished, and the prices rise proportionately. Manufacturing operations are being limited by nearly every firm, and in many instances throughout the midland district the works are stopped altogether, and further stoppages are being announced. About .5,000 workmen are out of employment, and those who are still kept on have had to submit to a re duction in wages amounting to between 15 and 20 per cent. This, however, has not been done without a manifestation of resistance on the part of the men. A large meeting of puddlers was held yesterday at Tipton, when it was resolved not to submit to the terms offered by the masters. They propose to sup port themselves for a month out of their own re sources, and then to fall back upon the union ; but it is not supposed they will be able to adhere to their determination, as the masters are immoveable. MORE DEATHS IN MILLUANK PRlSON.—Yester day Mr. Bedford held two inquests in Millbauk prison on the bodies of Woodhouse Moore, aged twenty-six, and Joseph Rocke, aged fifty-four, convicts therein. The first-named deceased was received into the prison on the 25th of last March, having been convicted of felony at the previous January session at Norwich, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. He was then in good health, but on the 14th of April, suffering from pleurisy in the chest, he was removed into the infirmary, where he remained gradually sinking till the 27th ult., when ho fell into a state of stupor and lost the use of his limbs, remaining so till the night of the 80th, when he died. On the body being opened tho cause of death was found to be scrofulous disease of the lungs and bowels. In the case of the deceased Rocke he was stated to have become an inmate of the prison on the 20th of April last, having been found guilty of larceny at the previous month's Gloucester sessions, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. Oft the 24th of July he was placed in the infirmary for an attack of asthma, which was followed by pulmonary consumption, under which he lingered, and died on Friday last. Verdict in each case—" Natural death." Tint PAYILIoN.—The whole of the remaining es tablishment of servants left the Pavilion at Brighton on Friday, having received notice to quit some time since. Many of theta have been there for the last twenty or thirty years. We understand that everything that can he has been removed from the edifice, the interior of which, to use the term of an eye-witness, has more the air of a barrack than a palace. Yet the usual repairs, painting, &c., have been executed this year on the out side; and, if it were intended to destroy the building, this was a superfluous expense. What is to be done with the Brighton Pavilion is still a puzalc—Hantpshire Telegraph. HILARY TERM. At the commencement of Hilary Term, on Tuesday next, the several courts of law and equity will resume their sittings. The lists of arrears in the common law courts, which have just been exhibited, show an aggregate of 368 applications, and, singularly enough, the numbers are nearly equal. In the Court of Queen's Bench there are 122, in the Common Pleas 126, and in the Exchequer 120. The Learned Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench have, by their exer tions, reduced the number, and the Court of Common Pleas, where the numbers were inconsiderable before the Court was thrown open, has now no fewer than 82 rules for new trials. In the Queen's Bench there are 39 special cases and demurrers for argument, and eight for judgment; in the former, the demurrer in the case of Bunn and Lind stands early. There are 64 rules for new trials and 11 for judgment. With the exception of three, the earliest rule for a new trial was obtained in Hilary Term last. The following notice has been is sued :—" The special paper will not be taken dur ing Hilary Term, 1848, but on the days devoted to it, viz., Tuesdays and Fridays; the new trial paper will be taken after the Bar has been once gone through for motions. The new trial paper will be absolute on the usual days—viz., Mondays and Thursdays, and the first and last four days of Term, in the event of motions not occupying the Court on the last-men tioned days." In the remanet paper of the Court of Common Pleas there are four enlarged rules, 82 rules for new trials (the earliest of which was moved in Michaelmas Term, 1846), and nine for judgment. There are 26 demurrers and four registration appeals. In the Court of Exchequer there are 17 rules in the peremptory paper, and iu the demurrer list eight for judgment and four for argument. In the special paper there are four rules for judgment and 19 for argument. In the new trial paper there are two rules for the decision of the Court, and 66 for argument. I
