.NINE SON AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE. The following na•rative, relating to Joshua New burn, who has recently retur: ed to this country, after having been captured by the natives of New Zealand, and after having served for nearly nine years and a half under the chiefs of various tribes, during which period he underwent the cruel torture of tattooing, is authen tic, and may be depended upon. There is something so truly extraordinary in the history of this young man's life, during his nine years and a haif'sresidence in the in terior of the island of New Zealand, that a few observa tions relating to him cannot fail to prove extremely in terestine. Joshua Newburn is the eldest son of the late Mr. John Henry Newburn, for many years a free man of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, in the City of London, and was born in the parish of St. Luke on the 27th of March, 1817. His family are still livieg in tact parish in respectable circumstances. He received a plain education at an Holton academy (Gloucester House), under a Mr. Pearce, and was afterwards apprenticed to a gas-fitter in the city ; but his inclinations being seaward his father caused his indentures to be cancelled, and on the 27th of February, 1832, he was articled for the term of three years to a Captain Plant, master of a whaler, bound t 3 the Sauth Seas, named the Marquis of Lansdowne. After a voyage of three months and fifte:n days from the date of leaving Portsmouth, the ship reached the flay of Islands on the New Zasland coast, where she brought up, and young Newborn, who was then but 15 years of age, having suffered much sick ness on board, obtained leave to go ashore to seek me dical advice. As there were several canoes manned with natives around the ship, trading with the crew, Newburn took the advantage of bargaining with a run galeree, or lead boatman, to take him ashore ; but after they had left the ship, instead of the men rowing into the mouth of the harbour to the English settlements, they made away for a sandy beadat some distance off, and, having dragged him on shore, they stripped him quite naked, beating him at the same tit ne with their paddles, till they left him insensible ; th ty then took to the caaoe and made off. As soon as Ile had partied) , recovered from the effects of th&r violence be wandered about the island in quest of a human habitation, desirou*, if possible, of alighting upon some white man. This he continued to do 'or two days and nights, making the best of his way through forests of fern, breast high, which (be being quite be reft of clothing), shockingly chafed and lacerated his bady. On the third :norning, as he sat and©r a tree, fernisLed with hunger, rind exhausted with fatigue, be was perceived by two native youths, the sons of a chief living hard by, who, pitying his condition, conducted him to the hut of their father, who was lying sick upon a mat. 52211 g that he (Newburn) was destitute of clothing, he furnished him with an old pair of carnal a truusers and a tattered shirt, and having afforded him such refreshm.tnt as his circumstances would admit a f he sent him to a neighbouring chief, who, he said, would use him well, To follow the life and adventures of this young mats from that period up to the time of his quitting the country for England ; to detail the chequered circum stances he met with during the nine years and upwar•is be served with various tribes of t :e island ; to depii:t the scenes he witnessel, the imminent perils he encoun tered, the severe, almost incredible hardships he el i dured, the dreadful privations he underwent, and th miraculous escapes he experienced, would occupy tb space of a large volume. He is now in London, an although he speaks his Dative language correctly.. yet it is with difficulty that he at times can finjt words wherewith to express his ideas. His bodz is cicatrized in many places from the wounds Int has from time to time received from the spears and knives of the natives whilst he was engaged under different ch:ers, contending with militant tribes ; and his face has undergone the horrible operation of tattooing, which gives b:m the appearance of a New Zealand Chief. Although he is now only in his sth year, from the acute sufferings he has undergone (having been at one period exposed for 14 months in the bush), he appears considerably older, and his constitution has been so severely shattered, that it is quite impos sible that he could have subsisted another year had. he remained on the island. He sneaks the New Zee land language with the utmost fluency, and became- ultimately so thoroughly initiated into the ways, habits, and manners of the natives, that they ident fled him with themselves, and styled him by a term of distinction " Mootooab," which means " the tattooed spirit." In de cribing the scenes he witnessed among the tribes he is exceedingly simple, and imparts what information may be sought of him in a very clear and artless manner. He states that the first instance of human butchery be witnessed in the island was shortly after his arrival. A canoe tended a crew of natives whilst he was stand ing on the beach near a pals, or village, named limo zeik a; he perceived two females among them, who were particularly good looking ; among them was a very powerfully made man, who held a tomahawk in his hand, and who followed close upon the heels of the women as they proceeded on the beach, when he suddenly stepped before teem and with one blow with his weapon nearly severed one female's head from her body ; he then performed the same tragical operation upon the other female, and left them ree!tering in their blood upon the beach. As soon as he had sufficiently collected himself he ran home to the pah, appalled at what he had seen, and communicated, as well as be could, the eircum• stance to his chief, fearing that himself and his tribe might be beset by the party. Upon inquiry, however, it was discovered that the women were the slaves of a neighbouring chief, who had given his command that they should be tomahawked out of his own settlement for their disobeying his ordsrs with regard to his chil dren. He, moreover, states that some time after wards, when he was at a pale called " Warakaika," he bore witness to one of the most revolting acts of butchery that it could be destined for the human eye to behold. The chief of the tribe under which he served had waged war with the chief of another tribe located in a pah a short distance off them. They sallied forth just before day-break, armed with muskets, spears, and tomahawks (for the natives, he says, when they want to surprise an enemy, consider tais the most seasonable time, entertaining an idea that sleep lays its hand more heavily upon the slumberer at that particular period then any other that is appropriated to repose) ; and the chief having fired off his musket on their arrival at the pah, as a signal for the commencement of hostilities, they all began the war dance, which was kept up for about two minutes, when they fired their muskets into the mat-houses of the enemy, and then teek to their spears and tomahawks, and after a desperate struggle the pall surrendered, and the tribe were made prisoners and bound. Then the chief of the tribe went round to each prisoner and despatched the whole of them, one after another, by strking them on the head with his tomahawk. He, moreover, adds that there were among the number of the captives one chief of high rank, as also a seer or divine-, and a noted warrior, who were sill three seated upon a rush mat by themselves. Tne chief of his tribe advanced towards them, and with his tomahawk tapped their several heads and drank the blood as it ran from them. Another man of his tribe took out the eyes of the wretched vic tims and ate them raw, life not being out of the former. Thy finally cut off th e i r li mbs and ready for the oven. quartered them, But the most dreadful feature in this act of massacre was that of a man and woman bound toeether the former being the sun of th e opu l ent chief of the h the latter his wife, who held a c hild , a b out nine months e m o ld, in her arms. This y oung warrior Lad murdered with his own hand, several of the tribe to whiela he (Newburn) belonged ; and having dragged the woman after having untied her from her husb an d, i nto an ad : joining ce mpaitment, and after h av i ng committed the grossest acts of .on, vio!ence upon h er , th ey tore the infant and tukingit up b y t h e legs battered from her pro'ectl its head against the sides of the hut. As to the unfor tunate husband, they cut slices of flash from his body, and, thrusting the sane into ” his mouth, asked hi m if i t "was good, and tasted well. He stopp e d i n t hi s place for two days with his tribe, during which time they were employed in cooking their enemies, in such a man ner as to keep them for some length of time. Thi s process is performed by first cutting away all the fl as h from the bones, and separating the lean .from the fat ; , the fat is fried in earthen vesse ls t o y i e ld a lard ; the lean is baked in the oven. The latter is then put into calabashes, and the fat poured over it ; by this means the meat will keep sound for upwards of 12 months. RAILWAY RETURNS. .

Between ten and eleven o'clock on the night of Tues day, Mr. J. Dixon, of Raneforth, was returning from market in his gig. On arriving at Felton-hill, he was accosted by a man dressed as a farmer, who asked if he would " give him a cast downward ?" Mr. Dixon as sented, and took the man into the gig. He proved an agreeable companion, and chatted away pleasantly on agricultural prospects, the markets, the Corn- laws, &c., on all of which topics he appeared to be well conversant. On arriving at the cross-road leading to Raneforth, Mr. Dixon inquired which way the stranger was going, inti mating that his (Mr. Dixon's) road lay to the right. The man replied that he was going to Hiliwood, and that he would alight. He accordingly got out of the gig, and after wishing Mr. Dixon a good night walked off briskly along the main road. The man had scarcely proceeded twenty yards, when Mr. Dixon, in adjusting the skirts of his great coat, discovered that his pocket-book, contain ing 139/. in bank-notes and checks, was missing. Feel ing confident that he had the pocket-book in his possession a short time previously, his suspicion fell on his late companion, and he immediately drove after him, his person being still visible on the road. The man turned as the sound of the gig-wheels reached his ears, and then running a short distance sprung over a gate into an adjoining field. Mr. Dixon reached the gate in a few moments, and springing from his gig rushed across the field in pursuit. The fugitive gained the hedge at the opposite side of the enclosure, but the hedge being ex tremely high and thick set, he was baulked in his a:- tempts to break through it. Mr. Dixon came upon him, and a desperate struggle took place. Mr. Dixon demanded his pocket-book, when the fellow, with the ferocity of a bull-dog, sprung at his throat, which he seized with an iron grasp; at the same instant giving Mr. Dixon several tremendous kicks, which brought him to the ground, the man falling heavily on him. However the shock 01 the fall released his grasp on Mr. Dixon's throat, and that gentleman, who is a powerfully-built and active man, managed to raise himself on his knees - . Before he could recover his feet, he received a severe blow over his left eye from a large stone, which, it is supposed, the fellow had picked up during the struggle, and was agai n knocked down, d ragg i ng the man along with him. At this juncture, the sound of approaching wheels was heard on the road, and Mr. Dixon called out " Murder !" several times, upon which the man struggled violer.tly to release himself, striking Mr. Dixon several blows on the face and head with the stone, and at last succeeded in breaking away, just as two men came to Mr. Dixon's assistance. The men who arrived thus opportunely commenced a pursuit after the retreating robber, but he ' succeeded in effecting his escape. In making a search after the unfortunate gentleman's hat, which had fallen from his head in the struggle, one of the men, to the great surprise and joy of Mr. Dixon, picked up the missing pocket-book, which had doubtless dropped from the robber's possession during the conflict. Mr. Dixon's face and head are severely cut, and his legs dreadfully bruised from the kicks he received ; but he managed to drive to his own residence, after having liberally re warded the men whose timely aid probably saved him from being robbed, if not murdered.—Dark astir Gazette.

" Mountjoy-square, Nov. 11, 1841." PRICES OF GRAIN: By the latest information received from the Continent respecting the prices of foreign grain, it appears that the highest quotation of white wheat of the first quality at Hamburgh is 185 rix dollars current the last, which answers to 60s. 7d. the quarter. The highest quotation of white wheat of the first quality in London is 78s. the quarter. It appears, therefore, that wheat is 30i per cent. dearer in London than at Hamburgh. The highest quotation of Zealand wheat of the first quality at Amsterdam is 332 florins the last, which is equal to 535. 7d. the quarter ; and the highest price of white wheat of the first quality in London being 78s. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 451 per cent. dearer in London than in Amsterdam. The highest quotation of wheat of the first quality at Stettin is 76 dollars current the wispel of 24 scheffels, which is equal to 51s. 9d. the quarter, and the highest quotation of wheat in London being 78s. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 501 per cent. dearer in London than in Stettin ; and that with the sum of 31. 18s. a man may buy rather more than 12 bushels of wheat at Stettin ; whereas with the same sum he can buy only 8 bushels in London. The mean or average of the prices of wheat of the first quality at Hamburgh, Amsterdam, and Stettin, is 555. 4d. the quarter. and the price of wheat of the first quality in London being 78s. the quarter, it follows that the price in London is nearly 41 per cent. higher than the average price of the three above-mentioned places. The present duty on the importation of foreign wheat into England is 245. Bd. the quarter, which is equal to the following rates :—To a rate of 404 per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Hamburgh, to a rate of 46 per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Amsterdam, to a rate of 47i per cent. on the prime cost of wheat at Stettin, and to a rate of 441 per cent. on mean price of the three above-mentioned places. The highest price of white wheat of the first quality at Paris is 34f. per 14 hectolitre, which is equal to 51s. I Id. the quarter ; and the highest price of white wheat of the first quality in London being 78s. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 50-1 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The highest price of wheaten flour of the first qua lity in Paris is 63f. the 159 kilogrammes, which answers to 395. 7.d. the English sack of 2801 b., and the highest price of wheaten - flour of the first quality hi London is 655. the sack. ft therefore appears that flour is 641 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and that with the sum of 31. ss. a man may buy 45911 b. ,of fine flour at Paris, whereas with the same sum he can buy only 2801 b. in London. The price of wheaten bread of the first quality at Pa ris, is 35c. the kilogramme, which is equal to 6d. for the loaf of 41b. English weight. The price of bread of the second quality is 28c. the kilogramme, which is rather more than 44d. the h - af of 41b. English weight. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.

SUPPOSED INFENDIARY FIRE AT TORQUAY. —A fire broke out about ten o'clock on Friday night last, in a farm house at Upton, about a mile anti a half from Torquay. The house was occupied by a widow, named Callard, and her four sons and a daughter. All had retired for the night, with the exception. of Mrs. Callard and her daughter, who were also about to go to bed when the fire was discovered. In two hours the whole of the roof fell in, and the interior of the home was entirely co nsume d, not hi ng b ut t h e wa ll s re maining. Shortly before one o'clock, pin., on Tues day, it was discovered that the barn, which had . so nearly ‘ fallen a prey t o t h e flames on Friday, was on fire. lhe engine was sent for, but, we regret to say,' it was of little avail, f or the barn, stable, &c. were entirely de stroyed. There were about 60 bags of wheat which had bean threshed in the barn, and a considerable quantity: unthreshed. A portion o f t h e wheat was got out, b ut we fear it will be of little value. It seems to be the pre vailing opinion th a t t h ese two fires were the acts of in cendiaries, but the w h o l e i s wrapt in mystery. The house and buildings were the property of Sir Lawrence Palk. None of the buildings, furniture, corn, &c. were insured. The second fire broke out so suddenly, that the horses in the. stable were with great difficulty got out, and one of them was scorched.—Exeter Western Times. LA* INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 13. LLOYD V. WAIT. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed to day. The case was opened on Thursday, and the arguments were proceeded with yesterday and to-day up to the rising of the Court. The case, which involves the question of the pedigree of the plaintiff, which has to be traced nearly a century back, appears likely to occupy several days, the evidence in the case being extremely voluminous. The only ques tion in the case is as to the right of the plaintiff to redeem a mortgage. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 13. SAUNDERS V. BENSON. Lord LANGDALE gave judgment in this suit which was instituted to compel the specific perfermarv:e of the covenants in a lease in which the defendant was bene ficially interested. The pi operty had been underleased, and while in possession of the under -tenant, had be.2ome greatly dilapidated, and the plaintiff had been obliged to resort to an action of ejectment, at the expiration of the lease, to obtain possession, whereby he had incurred considerable expense. But he neglected to file a bill until more than six years afterwards, whereby it was insisted his right to relief had elapsed. His Lordship said he thought the plaintiff had been entitled to require the performance of the covenant in the lease, but as he bad so long delayed his claim, he was not now entitled to relief. The bill must therefore be dismissed, but he thought the justice of the case would be satisfied by dis missing it without costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 12. The part-heard case of Brown v. Brown, which came before the Vice-Chancellor of England upon further di rections, occupied his Honour the whole morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) His HONOUR was engaged during the early part of the day in disposing of unopposed petitions and short causes of no general interest. MILBANK v. STEVENS. On this cause, which stood first' on the list of long causes for hearing to-day, being called on, his Honour in quired if all the necessary parties in the suit were before the Court ? Mr. SPENCE, Q.C., who appeared for the plaintiff, re plied that they were not in a condition to prove the next of kin and heir-at-law. His HONOUR said that, in that case, he would refer it to the Master to inquire into that question, and directed the cause to stand out of the paper, with liberty to apply to the Court when a supplemental bill was filed. SMITH AND OTHERS V. WILCOXON AND OTHERS. On this cause being called, Mr. Cooper who was re tained in it, entered at some length into a statement of the object of the bill, when his Honour ii.quired if the defendants' Counsel were in Court? It appearing that the Counsel engaged for the defen dants had left Court under the impression that the pre vious cause would occupy the entire day, his Honour directed the cause to be struck out. Some other causes were, for a similar reason, also struck out of the paper. CLARK V. WILMOT AND OTHERS. The object of the bill filed in this cause was to have a foreclosure of a mortgage, which had been created in favour_of a person represented by the plaintiff on a house is Clerkenwell, in the county cf Middlesex. The mort gage was created for a term of 1,000 years, and for the purpose of securing a sum of 50C1. The defendants claimed an interest in the premises in the nature of an equitable lien, and prayed an in quiry into their claim. His HoNoun referred it to the Master to inquire whether the whole or part of the 5001. consideration for the plaintiff's mortgage was ever paid, and when and how, and whether any part of the consideration monry was kept back, and under what circumstances; also whe ther William Wright, one of the defendants, had in any mode an equitable lien upon the estate, and if so, when and how acquired ; with liberty to the Master to state special circumstances. Against the other defendants the bill was dismissed ; his Honour reserving the question as to by whom the costs should be ultimately borne. The Court rose at a few minutes before four o'clock. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM). SUTHERLAND V. BRIGGS. The hearing of this cause, which was part-heard yes terday, terminated this morning. His Honour requested to be furnished with copies of the proceedings, and post poned his judgment. MOUNSEY V. BURNHAM. In this cause the bill was filed by the Rev. Thomas :lounsey, who is the vicar of the parish of Outhorn, in Yorkshire, against Robert Barnham, a farmer, occupying lands within the parish. By the bill, the plaintiff claimed tithes of clover and hay for the farm in question. The hearing of this cause had terminated at. the rising of the Court. His Honour postponed his judgment. The Court closed at three o'clock. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 13. THE QUEEN V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. BUTT said this was a mandamus directed to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and calling upon them to summon a Jury and assess compensation for the damage and injury done to the land of the prosecutor, John Collinridge. The writ recited that the prosecutor had a leasehold for a lag period of certain land and pre mises which adjoined a public highway or road, called the Bath Field-road--that the defendants, in order to carry their railway over the said road, had altered it by lowering the road to such a depth in 'front of the land of the prosecutor, that it had been thereby greatly damaged and injured, and that he had been obliged to make additional fences and lower a part of the lend in order to the beneficial occupation and enjoyment of the same. To that mandamus there was a return which set out that the land of the prosecutor was not a part of the land required for the purposes of the railway ; that the land was not entered upon by the Company, tam taken, nor used by them, nor was it in their schedules, and that Collinridge was not the owner of any land taken by the Company, or over which the railway ran. The return, therefore, raised the question of whether a party was entitled to compen tion for injury where the Company had not actually cut into, or taken, or used, any part of the land in question. Now he submitted to the Court, that, clearly within the meaning of the Act ofParliament, Mr. Collinridge was en titled to compensation. In the first place the return was no answer to the mandamus, because if the Company were entitled to rely on the statement that no damage had been done to the land, they should have stated that fact in order that it might be traversed. They merely state in a few words, that they have not taken, or used, or gone upon the land of the prosecutor. The Act under which the Company was incorporated was the 6th and 7th Wm. 4th, chap. 106, and the sections which referred to the awarding compensation were the )th and the 29th. The Act empowered the Company in '.he usual way to enter upon and take land for the pur poses of the railway, and by the 29th section they were. in every case in which the land was damaged or-injuri ously affected, to grant to the owners or lessees com pensation. There were two cases in which compensa tion was to be awarded—first, in the case in which the land was taken; and, secondly, where the land was not taken, but injuriously affected. The Learned Counsel, havin g read the clauses awardingcompensation, referred to the cases of the Queen v. the Nottingham Water Works Company, the King v. the Commissioners of the Thames and Isis Navigation, and the King v. the Exeter Improve ment Company, which last, he contended, was strictly analogous to the case before the Court. There the Com missioners had power to lower a road or high- way, and the inhabitants of the houses on either side were obliged to build steps in order to obtain access, and claimed corn pensation, which the Commissioners refused. The case came before the Court of Queen's Bench on a mandamus, and their Lordships were of opinion that the houses having been injuriously affected the owners were entitled to compen sation. Now he submitted that that came not only within the spirit but the very letter of the present Act, and that the prosecutor was entitled to compensation. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for the defendants, contended that under the present Act the party applying for the mandamus was not entitled to compensation. He would not dispute the decisions that had been come to in the several cases cited by his Learned Friend, but the compensation awarded therein turned upon the particular clauses inserted for that purpose in these several Acts. Indeed, the very fact of these clauses having been introduced, showed that under the ordinary compensation clauses they would not be en titled. They contained special clauses to give special damage, but there were no such clauses in the Act under which the present Company was incorporated. The question was of the greater importance, because if the Court was of opinion that the, prosecutor in the present case was entitled to compensation for the injury he was alleged to have sustained, there was not an owner of land along the line of the railway who would not he entitled. The meaning of the word `• damaged or injuriously affect ed," clearly referred to the injury sustained by hind taken for the purposes of the railway, which was first to be valued, and then the injury sustained by the placing of materials or severance was an additional damage for which the party was entitled to additional compensation. If the Court should be of opinion that for consequential damage accruing to a party from the making of the railway compensation should be awarded, there would be no end to the matter. A party living five or ten miles from a railway might complain that he was obliged to go two or three miles fUrther rotund in order to get to London, in consequence of the making of the railway, and claim compensation for consequential damage. Now, he contended that the principle recognised by the Courts of Law in all these cases was, that the consequential and indirect damage to individuals ought not to counter balance the benefit to the public at large, and if the rule did not hold good, no publi c work could be constructed in that country. Mr. BUTT having replied. The Court took tim e to consider its judgment COURT OF EXCHEQUER, or. 13. POOLE V. PALMER. This action was tried before Lord Abinger at the sittings in London, after last term, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. MESMER, o n the part of the defendant, obtained a rule nisi to set aside such verdict, and for a new trial. The ease having been called on, his Lord ship read over his notes, from which it appeared that the plaintiff was an auctioneer l a t e ly re s iding i n Bridge-street, Westminster, who was employed to sell an estate at Norwood, upon which colonel Torrens had an annuity ; the plaintiff had a written authority to sell, signed by the defendant, and seven or eight other per sons who were interested in the estate. It further ap peared that there had been a negotiation between the parties and the plaintiff for raising the sum of 1,8001. to pay off the annuity. It was proved that the plaintiff took all the steps necessary to bring on a sale. Advertisements were inserted in va rious newspapers, the estate - was surveyed and . a - plan made, and all other preliminaries gone through, when, some lime before the; day appointed for the sale, the plaintiff saw an advertisement in the papers, stating that the same property was to be sold by Messrs. Shuttle worth ; he therefore claimed his commission, the same as if he had actually sold the property. He brought his action for 1571 10s. but the Jury gave a verdict for only 82 The defence attempted-to be set up at the trial was, that the authorisation to sell was conditional upon the plaintiff obtaining an advance of money to pay off the annuity, and that he having failed to do so, he was not entitled to recover either for his own trouble, or the ex penses to which he had gone. In order to prove his case the Counsel for the defendant proposed to call a Mr. Sparshott, who was one of the parties signing the authority to sell, and proposed to make him a good witness by en dorsing his name upon the record. Plaintiff's Counsel objected to this, and his Lordship holding the objection valid, refused to allow the witness to be examined. Mr. PLATT addressed the Court in support of the verdict, but was interrupted by the rising . of the Court at one o'clock, in order that the Judges might meet the ether Judges on Crown cases. BAIL COURT, Nov 13. THE QUEEN V. COOPER.--CERTIORARI. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for a rule for a cer tiorari to remove the indictment in the above cause from the Borough Sessions of Bridgnorth into this Court. He made the applicatiqn on behalf of the p 'osecutor, an attorney residing at Wellington. The indictment had been preferred against the defendant for publishing a libel, reflecting on tha professional character of the pro secutor, in a newspaper called the Shropshire Conserva tive. He Thunded his application on the grounds that the jurisdiction of the Sessions of the borough of Bridgnorth was very small; that there was great party feeling in the borough; that in so small a jurisdiction, it would be impossible to have a choice of jurors; that it was impos sible to secure , a fair and impartial trial.—Application granted. CARPENTER V. CLARKSON. Mr. PLATT moved for a rule calling upon au attorney of the Court to show cause why he should not pay a sum of money due to the plaintiff in this cause, pursuant to his undertaking. It appeared from the affidavits, that the action had been brought to recover a balance of 401 due upon two bills of exchange. The plea was a denial of the acceptance. The action was pro ceeded with, and the defendant, who claimed to act as attorney for the defendant, gave an undertaking to pay the money and costs conditionally. The attorney had previously obtained a cognovit from the defendant for nearly 1,0001. ; thiswas, no doubt, with a view to enable him to pay some of his debts, and the condition of the undertaking was, that he should pay the debt and costs (settled at 501.) before executing his eognovit. He had neglected to do so, and the parties came to the Court for relief.—Application granted. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY V. BURLINGTON. Mr. OGLE applied for a rule to have the above cause tried before the Lord Chief Justice of this Court. This was an action on a bond given by parties taking out letters of administration. The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, and, as the Court wag well aware, it therefore became necessary to suggest breaches upon the record. These statements were of great length, and many points of great difficulty were likely to arise. By the Bth and 9th William 111. all such causes were directed to be tried before the Lord Chief Justice of this Court; but by the 3d and 4th William IV. it was enacted that in all such cases the writs should be tried before the Sh€riff of the county, unless the Court, or one of the Judges of it, should otherwise order. He made the present application on behalf of the plaintiff, and he trusted his Lordship would grant him a rule absolute in the first instance. Mr. Justice PATTESON could not grant a rule absolute in the first instance. The rule had better be to show cause.—Rule nisi granted. At the sitting of the Court, Lord Ernest Bruce took the oaths as a Privy Councillor. CROXFORD V. RICKARDS. This was an action for goods sold and delivered, which had been tried before the Under Sheriff of the county of Middlesex, and in which the Jury had returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. FRASER—I now move for a rule nisi, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, or a new trial had. He made this motion, first, on the ground that the defendant had been taken by surprise. On several occa sions the defendant had, for the convenience of the plaintiff, consented to postpone the trial, and on the occasion when it took place the . defendant applied for a postponement, trusting the same courtesy would be extended to him which he had so frequently extended to his opponent. This, however, had been re fused him by the plaintiff's attorney, although the Coun sel for the plaintiff was willing to do so. The de fendant was consequently not prepared with witnesses to prove his set off. Another ground was that the plaintiff had given no evidence whatever as to the value of the goods, and that the quality of the goods supplied was different from what was stated in the bill of particulars. On these grounds he made the application. Mr. Justice PerrEsoN, on looking over the-affidavits, said the case seemed to have been conducted very loosely On both sides. He thought the Court was bound to grant the rule nisi.—Application granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 13. FORRESTER V. PADDOCK. This was an action brought to recover compensation for injury done to the land and premises of the plaintiff by the working of coal mines under them by the plaintiff, as agent to the Duchy of Lancaster. The mines in ques tion and the land of the plaintiff are within the manor of Newcastle-under-Lyne, of which the Crown as Duke of Lancaster, is Lord. The plaintiff claimed compensation as by usage. The defendant denied the usage, and upon this issue a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Sir Thomas Wylde obtained a rule nisi to enter a ver dict for the defendant, against which Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd, Mr. Sergeant Channell, and Mr. Sergeant Wrang ham this day showed cause at great length. Sir T. WYLDE replied, and had not concluded when the Court rose at two o'clock, their LordShips' presence being required with the other Judges in the Exchequer, to hear a Crown case. COURT OF REYIRW, Nov. 13. No case of interest occurred to-day. POLICE INTELLAJENCE. GUILDHALL. Joseph Jones, a young knight of the thimble, aged 24, and in altitude about five feet four inches and a quarter, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie by City police constable, No. 362, to answer the alliterative charge of being drunk and disorderly. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, officer, what has this man dnne ? Offictr—He was drunk and disorderly last night, your Worship, Sir P. LAURlE—Disorderly, in what way ? Officer —He assaulted people. Sir P. LAURIE—IS anybody here to complain of in jury ? Officer —No, Sir. Sir P. LAURIE—Then who did he assault ? Officer —Pro2ctutes, your Worship. Sir P. LAURIE—He did, did he? Offiler—Why he made their nops bled, Sir P. LAuniE (looking stecidfvtly at the prisoner) —Wr,at ar.! you ? Priwr:e- (dr:Iv:log himself up)—l'm a journeymaq tailor.—(A li:ugh.) Sir P. LAURIE--And you think you have a license after you get drunk to ill-use unfortunate wcinen ? Prisoner—No, your Worship. Sir P. LAURIE--A person who wears such a heal of hair as you, will do anything in the street. You must be fined .ss. [lt is necessary to explain that Mr. Jones wore his hair not in ringlets, but combed down over his coat col hr in a profusion which would bid defiance to rheuma tism in the neck, and a pair of bushy jet whiskers ap peared to be an equal protection against an attack of toothache.] S.r P. LAURIE—Was he very drunk ? Officer— Not very ; perhaps he was more foolish. Sir P. LAURIE—WeiI, he is fine 4 ss. ; but I think be had better be cropped. It he'd have his hair cut off l'd forgive him. Pritoner—l h Iva% got the money, so I'd take you at your word.—(Laughter.) The prisoner then ret;red, and soon after, Mr. Roe, the officer, an nounced that a barber had been sect for to dock his head, but the young man wished to preserve his whis kers, as they were not inelnried in the stipulation. After the lapse of half an hour, Scomfield, the officer at' the f;omptcr, called out, " Your Wo-ship, this is the young man who has had his hair ant off."—(Laughter.) Every eye was turned towards Mr. Jones. Sir P. LAURIE—Wt 11, Mr. Jones, you look all the better for the operation. Mr. Jones (simpering)-- Yes, Sir. Sir P. LAURIE—Go home and follow your trade, and don't wear long hair any more, or get into street broils. A new question was here mooted, " Who's to pny the barber." Sir P. LAURIE—What is hi. chmand ? Mr. Roe— A shilliog, Sir Peter; and be hesitated Lt first before he would operate. Sir P. LAURIE—Is the hair-dresser here? The re ply was " Yes." Sir P. LAURIE—Let him stand forth. The knight of the comb and scissors approached the bench, and the Magistrate told him that what he had done was not a sentence of the Court. An overture had been made, and Mr. Jones bad agreed t') it. You demand a shilling, I understand? Hairdresser-- Yes, Sir. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, I'll pay you out of my own pock( t cheerfully (handing over the shiliing), and I dare say the young man will not have occasion for your services again under a similar accusation. The little tailor (the form of whose visage was changed) made his best bow to the Alderman and de payted the Court, surrounded by mirth, in which the party milking Lis exit appeared to participate. Adolphus Abrahams, a person of respect.' able appearance, was charged by Mr. Ashton, the land lord of the White Bear, Bride-rune (known as Cogers'- ball), with unlawfully possessing a brass candlestick, iris property. Mr. Ashton having stated the fact of the candle stick being found in the coat pocket of the prisoner,— A Gent'emau in Court testified something in his favour. To counterbalance this the contlnts of the pri soner's pocket-ho;. were produced, and among other things there were 26 duplieatei of pledges of snuff boxes, capep, svater-bottles, umbrellas, and divers other utensils and things which are to be Auld in taverns. Sir P. LAURIE ordercd the prisoner to be remanded to Tuesday next. BO W- S TREE T. William Harris, an elderly and respectable-looking man, we S placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged with having been drunk on Friday night, and with having assaulted a policeman. Police constable 96 F stated, that while on duty last night, at about half-past nine, in Lincoln's Inn-fields, the prisoner came up to him and said that he was drunk, and asked witness to take him home. Witness refused to comply with the request; upon which the prisoner struck him twice with his cane, saying that he paid for the police, and that they should take care of him. The prisoner was drunk at . the time. The prisoner, w-ho seemed to be a very singular cha- Vacter, said that that was the most unprecedented case that had ever occurred. While passing, yesterday even ing, through. Lincoln's Inn fields, he saw the last witness abusing a poor female, and he remonstrated with him upon the , impropriety of his conduct. The policeman then took him into custody. He had m rer asked the policeman the way home, and he was perfectly sober at the time. • John Bremer, who was called as a witness by the pri soner, stated he had parted from him in the Strand at a few minutes before nine o'clock, and he was 'then per fectly sober. The police inspector on duty at the station• house last night, another policermin f and the gaoler, stated that the prisoner, when brought to the station-house, at about a quarter to ten o'clock, was noisily drunk, and policeman 96 F stated that no woman, nor any person whatever, was present when the arrest took place. The prisoner was sentenced to a fine of 10s. The fine was paid, and he was then discharged. John Richard Paccard, Joseph Paccard, and Thomas Kennett, who stand committed to the Central Criminal Court for the manslaughter of Atch...el Aungier, were brought up from the New Prison, Clerkenwell, for the purpose of being admitted to bag, but not being pre pared with the requisite sureties, they were again re manded until Wednesday next, and in the meantime sent to Tothill-fields Prison, the offence with which they stand charged having been committed in Westminster. HA'PTON-GARDEN. Two men, named Graves at.d Clarke, were charged with _felony under somewhat remarkabls! circumstances. Mr. Field, ae inspector of counterfeit coin, appeared before the Bench in support of the charge. It appealed from the evidence, that on Frid ty, the prisoner GriVes entered the shop of Mr. Walker, a hosier,•at 110, High Holborn, and made purchase of a pair el stockings, for which he tendered a counterfeit half-crown. Tee prosecutor, of coursa, refused it, and the accused then threw, down a genuine two shillings and sixpenny piece, and demanded his change. Wit ness hesitated, and while deliberating within himself what course he should take.. the fellow Clarke came into the shop and snatched up the good half-crown, and instantly ran off. He was foiloAed by Mr. Walker, and after a sharp chase he was secured in Holborn by police constable 19 F. . • Mr. GREENWOOD inquired if the prisoners wet e known ? Mr. Field replied, that they were most noto rious utterers (Abed mocey, and acted in concert together. Mr. GREENWOOD—Is the bad half:crown produced ? , Mr. Field—No. The fact is that Claike, finding his companion in di ffi culty, seized by mistake the good half crown, and while the prosecutor was pursuing him, Graves ,swallowed the counterfeit money,' and after wards walked off. Mr. GREENWOOD—How came Graves in custody ? Mr. Field—After the apprehension of Clarke, he (Graves) had the audacity to return to Mr. Walker's shop, and actually demanded the good halt:crown, and the prosecutor then very wisely handed him over to the police. The swallowing of the base halt-crown, of course, put an end to an indictable charge of " smash ing," but the taking away of ti.e half-crown was c!elrly an act of felony on the part of Clarke. Mr. GREENWOOD took the same view, sad com mitted Clarke to Newgate for trial. MARLBOROUG H-STREET. Eleanor Susan Ley, was.placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby, charged with begging. Samuel Daniels, one of the officers belonging to the Mendicity ,Society, stated that between six, and.sev en on Friday evening, as he was proceeding along Panton street, Haymarket, the prisoner accosted him, and , soli.- cited charity, stating that she should feel most grateful even for a halfpenny. Her appearance inuuced witness to take her into custody, in order that her case might be inquired into. On her way to the station-house, she begged that witness would not be hard up , ?n her for merely asking for a half-penny. On searching her, a sovereign, and eleven shillings and eight pence in silver and copper were found in her pockets. On referring to the Society's books, the following account of her' was obtained :—She is the widow of Dr. Ley, for many years physician to. Middlesex Hospital, and who died about five years ago. During his lifetime the pri soner gave herself up to habits of drunkenness and dissi pation, and shortly previous to his decease made away with plate and other property to the value of upwards of 5001. These means she sooh dissipated, and, becoming very much reduced, made application to the Society by ticket, soliciting their assistance to establish her to set up a school. She received relief for some time from the Society, and also from several medical gentlemen ; and, independent of these, had 361. a year from the Me dical Fund. The prisoner was ultimately discharged, and left the office with several of her friends, who are respectable. UNION-HALL. Richard Ilitchnian, alias Thompson, alias Bristol Dick, one of the " swell mob," convicted last May for attempting to rick the Duke of D;viinshir. 's pocket of a gold snuff-box at the Surrey Zoological Gar dens, was brought before Mr. COTTINGHAM, charged with robbing a lady named Lampriani of a purse, con taining I is., on the preceding afternoon. Tne com plainant and her daughter were walking along the Albany road, at 5 o'clock on the preceding afternoon, when they observed three men following them close behind. When they arrived at the corner leading to the Camberwell road, one of the man walked on before his companions and while he was passing Mrs. Lampriani felt a push on that side, and on putting her hand into her pocket she missed her purse, containing 11g. Thu man , whom she suspected was the thief, went forward quickly, but returned again in the direction of where his associates were, but on looking round she found that they were all gone. She immediately informed a policeman of what had occurred, and some time afterwards he called at her house, and having exhibited eleven shillings in quired whether she could identify any portion of it, and she recognised one of the shillings as having taken a short time previously from Mr. Tnwnsend, a wine- - merchant in the Walworth-road, and which wa• in her purse at the time she was robbed. Tne complainant added that she did not distinctly see the faces of any of the men, but the prisoner in height and dress resembled one of them.. She also identified the shilling produced as bearing an exact similitude to the one that was in her purse. Tic complainant's evidence was crinfirined by her daughter, who said that she was confident the prisoner was of the men by whom she and her mother were followod as already described. Oiie of the men wore a cloak and a foraging cap. A policeman of the P division stated that, on being apprised of the robbery, he took the prisoner. ii t•► cus tody within a short distance of the spot where it oc curred, and having mentioned his suspicions, he then told him that he must accompany hint to the station house. When they arrived there the prisoner took eleven shillings out of his pocket, saying that it was ail the money he had, and that it was his own. The policeman added, that when the money was alter wards examined the complainant identified one of the shillings as having been in her purse at the time her pocket was picked. Mr. Townsend, a wine-merchant of the Walworth road, stated he paid the shilling alluded to with others to the complainant a short time previsusly to the rob bery ; that he knew the shilling from the particular marks upon it, and he also spoke with confidence to the identity of another shilling found on the prisoner, and which he (witness) had given in change to the lady who was robbed. The prisoner stoutly denied any knowledge of the robbery, and, in accounting for his presence in the Alb.iny-road at the time it occurred, sa•d that he was going to the doctor to hare his jaw examined, which was broke in three places, when he was taken into cus tody. The prisoner, who has been frequently sum marily convicted fur being found in places of public resort with intent to commit felony, was then full eominitted for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. On Saturday Mr. Norton was engaged for nearly three hours in further investigating a charge preferred by a policeman against a man named Richard Hart, a sawyer and prize fighter, of having stabbed him ►n the left side with a knife, and abto pri senting a gun at him and threatenin 4 to blow his brains out. The prisoner had been ;emanded from a previous day to have the testimony of Inspector May, of the K division of police, and a surgeon who examined the in jured constatla on Tuesday morning last. -These wit nesses were in attendance, and the former st.ted that he had examined a knife found' on the prisoner on the night he was taken, and was of opinion that the small blale had been recently bro ken. He also gave tt as his opinion that the cuts in ate clothes of the constable, and the punctured wound .on his side, ware done by the small blade of the knife [produced. The surgeon was of a similar opinion, and sar.l that the instrument with which the wound bad been inflicted had come against " ve oted doing serious damage. one of the ribs, and was A witness was called ore behalf' of the prisoner, who deposed thr.t he h rd seers the knife broken a month ago, but he could not swear that it was broken as it then appeared. A witness was also call ed, who stated that the pri soner had been much 111-ty sed by the coasfables. After the examinatio n of several witnesses and a statement from Mr. P cilium, who attended for the prisoner, Mr. NoaTofq remiirk ed _that it was his impression and belief that the wov ind bad ben ialieted by the broken Wale of the km ie produced, but he did n, t think the prisoner had .used it wiTti the. Interr.ion of doing the constable a ny grievous bodily. harm, but merely to injure elothek'. He (Mr. Norton) clan believed the prisoner had pm, , :i.nted a gun at the con wattle, and it was Ivery fortunate fur him that that gun had rot been found loaded, for hod so found he (Mr. Norton) wo ull have felt to be his duty to commit him at on .e to tr ial. His conduct. ultogettiee was most violent *And imp roper, and for the assault on the officer he would inflict tile highest penalty a 5I : or, in default of payment, two months' imprisoutaes' The penalty was at once paid, and the prison er le. leased.
