;EVENING IMITION. now existed in that country ; and so great was the ability in carryi ng ou t d es ig ns, t h a t they had undoubtedly a superiority over eve ry other country. But if the same :means were adopted in this country, and schools of design were est ablished, we would not be ore tittle le hind the French, either in taste or in th e p ro d uc ti on o f designs. There was one remark a bl e fact, and it was, that more than a year and a half ago a Biil Lad. passed Parliament to establish a copyright in de signator twelve months for ail descriptions of both ar ticles. The producers found that no protection at ell. In the great and extensive trade of the manufastare of silk, in which it was computed that not less then from .50 to 100,000 patterns were annually produced, tot 20 of these patterns were registered. Could such grounds then as these be rested upon by the parties who sought for the extensiou ? Tne passing of tile measure now sought to be made law would be most in- Jurictl3 and most detrimental to these most important branches of the manufactures of the country ; and fie would therefore move that the 13.11 be read a second time tient (lay twelve months. Mr- GISBORNE seconded the motion. M. SHE IL had been at considerah'e pains to 111 J `the most correct iniormat'on on ;he subject, and it at,peared to him that there were great diffieulties in the : way of settling the matter to the satisfaction of the arsons interested. The embarrassment which the subject presented seemed somewhat less with respect to tee paper-banging trade. The operations in paper-staining %sate slower ir: their nature, and the patterns were of lot ger duration. Tile French mode of paper-staining :was deeidedly superior to ours, and if live could have unproved our designs by the extension of the copy rola he had no doubt that the French paper would have beers long since banished from this country. Another Consideration was, that there was no difference of opinion among the parties concerned in the trade ; and before the Committee no party interested in the traila came forward to give evidence egainst the ex tension of the co pyri g ht in papeoataining. That was Dot the case with respect to the cal - en trade ; for with respect to the extension of the copyright in the calico untie considerable dissension existed.—(Hear, hear.) Tee Sec Leh printers seemed almost unanimous with T • saeci. to the propriety of the existing copyright. He (Mr. Shed) believed that there were sixty-seven prir tars in Scotland, originslly sixty-four, in favour of extension of it. He heard that there was another 'betty of printers in Scotland favourable to the extension of the copyright, and they produced annually about four mi lions of pieces. In Ireland there were twodistinguished maeufacturers, Air. Duffy and Mr. Henry,who produced excellent designs, and who were naturally in favour of tire extension. Ia Manchester the difference of opinion cm the subject rose to a pitch of excitement. Both the Hoe. Members for Manchester were opposed to the ex tensioo, and one cf them made a speech on the subject att 'tided with such eff..ct, that it required all the talents of the Hon. Member for Inverness to remove that ef feet. It was net wonderful, under those circumstances, that those who had nothing but the public good at heart, and did not participate in the feelings of those who ap peate.l as witnesses before the C omm itt ee , should expe rio.ree some difficulty on the subj ec t. E ven th e Com mittee, after hearing a great deal of evidence on the sub• Jeer, were far from agreeing —six were for reporting on tha subject and six against it, and it was only the cast ing vote of the Chairman that decided it. The Committee agresd to no definite period of eaten airier, they merely agreed to the principle that the term of t e copyright should be extended. The Honourable Member for Belfast, who had shown great sagacity and experience on the subject, could t say that in selecting tie period of twelve months he was just fled by the Report of the Committee. Trey %night tike it for panted that the period of copy right should be regulated by the period for which it was grant :d. Were three months adequate for that purpose? He did not think they were. The season lasted for more that three months ; and yet, after the lapse of three months, some copyist, lying in wait, with out undergoing any expense or incurring any risk, might deluge the market with a pattern of an inferior fabric, render the origin pattern vulgar, and far less valuable. It had been said that if the extended copyright had been at first i: traduced into this country, we should now be able to enter into competition with our conti nental ne - ghbours. It was true, however, that this celeery even still carried on a more prosperous trade than Feinee. In 1889 the French exported only 4 s:4,000,000 of yards of calico, including printed and not printed goods ; while, in the same year, Eng land 'had exported 751,000,000 of cotton goads. The lion. Member for Bsliast had introduce:l the per I.tus cord " imitation" into the Bill, by which Le opened the door to endless litigation. It was already difficult enough to ascertain, under the provisions of the old and 4th of George 111., what was "a copy." --(Hear, hear.) He thought the copyright ought to be extended, but not beyond six months ; and with tire hope that it would be !educed to that Lmit, he would vote for the second readina.—( Hear, hear.) There were I.:rya:ly five Acts of Parliament, and this would make a s'stl:. It would save much expense and unee,oainty if they were all condensed into one— (lL a^, hear)—and if the Hon. Member for BAlast would accept his setv.ces for thst purpose, he would hit ing:y give him all the ilbSitt wee in his power. Mr. GREG said, that from all the attention ha bad be_n dl.: to give to the subject, he was convince! that t.e Bill would do more mischief than good. 11! thaugl.t that in most eases the protection was a loss t, ti.e public, and rarely a benefit to the individual.— ( lie t-, be -.) In the case of mechanical inventions, preha,,ly not one, certainly not six in the hundred, of feee its was useful to the inventor. In the case even of Watts and Bolton, the invention of the former 1 illustrious man was of no benefit to the part ners tat I alter their patent bad expired.—(Hear.) All experience showed that if the first manufacturer made his article good, and sold it at a reasonable price, he wochl have an almost undisputed sale for it. He was coafilent that. the 811 then proposed would intlct it jury upon the calico trade at large, and in particular upan that town which he had the honour to represent. A short eryright, secrecy, despatch, and moderate prit C 3 were the only prat' ction that could be afforded. -Though the peseta time was short it was effectual ; if extendel to twelve, or even six months, the security would be diminished, and the trade would he invo!ved in constant litigation. He must observe, that almost all the tire. t printers had agents in France, who sent ever to this country every new pattern as it came out. It fiese idef t . cal patterns were protected, it was not too much to say, Veit those who sought to pass this Hi 1 would themselves he the victims of it. When orders came from different parts of the world, how was the merchant to know who was the inventor of the patterns, or whether a particular pattern had one, two, or three months to run ?—( Hear, hear.) How could he execute the orders in time if he had to make the necessary iaquiries?—(llear, hear, hear.) At pre sent there was certainly and confidence ; under the ex tended period there would inevitably be not only constat t litigation, but fee-, te.itation and doubt in the tramta_ton of imports t and extensive business, all which woull damage the trade materially, and in the end it me more than the calico printers themselves. Tae 11,n. Gentleman then read a petition signed by 164 of the largest wholesale manufaeturrrs in the neighbour hood of Mancheste r in support of his views.. No one who was enoged in our export trade could doubt the great competition which it had to contend with in fo reign countries. Any ot.e might learn that from the reports 0! Dr. Bawrinz, or the crideace taken before the Export Dates' Cammittee. Seventy thousand bundrca weight of cottcn g oo d s were annually exported to foreign cote tries : an d t h ree -fourths of the manufac , • tuTes of :yw,tzerland were exported. T e fact was that we could not. compete with foreigners in any species of cotton manufacture which required a considereale por tion of indisidual labour. Yarns were now constantly sent out to G.;rmany to be dyed, and came back again to Glasgow and other towns in this country. IL did not think if the Bid then before the House were pass that any limits could be put to litigation. Teo Lord Chance:ior could ,not determine what was a copy and what was an original, and On the whole, dsJuries would h e eqaady unable to decide in such ca the mo st mature consale alter hatiog given the subject tai:on—after having conversed with a .number and of after per sons the best acquainted with the subj-.. hating read all th e pamphlets printed with regard to it—he could not remove the impression from his mind that, taking the i n t eres ts of the community, and of the trade at large, into account, the Bill would be attended with a de gree o f i n j ur y more t h an c ommensurate with any individual advantages with which it might be at tended. Sir R. PEEL observed that the Committee which had been appoi n t e d to i nqu i re i nto t h e su bj ect t h en un der their e . consider a ti on h a d b een appo i nte d at hi s su in - g scion, the course of last Session. He had attended that Committee with no prepossession, certainly, in fa your of the extension of the copyright of designs—he had feared that the consequence of the extension might be to injure a branch of manufactures which was deci dedly prosperous, and which was even increa.iiiez in prosperity ; and if his opinions had undergone any change it was owing to the evidence which hal been adduced be fore that Corntmt•ce. The qcestion w as not,t b en, whether there should IT a copyright or not. Th e l aw h ad decided that by giving a protection for th ree months. But in point of fact, that protection was perfectl y ineffica zious. If there was to be a protection at all, it was clear that it ghoul I be extmidedt , ) such a period as would render it really advent igeous. Now, while the protec tion lasted only for three months, the expense of de fending the privilege was so great, that no party would under go it on account o f the shortness of the period. He would not by any means deny that there were con flicting consid era ti ons w hi c h would require the most ample discussion, before they determined the extent of the term they were going to give ; but, on the ques tion of the second reading of the Bill, he should say that a case bad been made out for an addi:ional protec tion of some kind , which it was almost impossible for the Hous e t o resist. man mined befor e th e Committee of st the manufacturers exa- patterns printed f or them , arn a ou e nt th d at the numb to t t e h r re o e f thousand, whil e t h ey only used &v; or s i x v ohurndrcd and out of these only forty or fifty were successful. Such a system must entail great expense ; and yet, after having uodergana that expense, other parties might step in and ava:l themselves of their labours, by fattening on any pattern which they might think likely to be successful ; and a1..1 that without having incurred the slightest risk. Those competitors might afterwards come and endeaiour to outbid them in the m aket. But that was not the whole case. The copyist tti:gbt bring the design into discredit by presenting it in an in ferior form, and on inferior goods.—(Hear, hear.) That had exactly the same effect on the original design as the mawkish imitations of Byron and of Scott had on the works of those writers. It tended to disgust the public with the original productions. France had ad vantages which this country had not, and that might, combined with an extended copyright, give them further advantages still ; but if they exposed the original designers to such gross injustice as that which had been pointed out, might not, he would ask, its continuance be a great impediment to the improvement and the ad vancement of the arts of design ? They withheld en couragement to ability and skill when they permitted parties to take advantage of that skill and ability, end to enter into competition with it. By granting as ex tended copyright, however, he did not think they would be interfering with free competition. What he would say was, let them have free competition— permit the competitor to produce a design equal to that with which he is competing, but great injustice would be done to the original de signer, if he was left exposed as he was by the present law. He should vote for the second reading of the Bi 1, but at the same time he could not disguise from himself the effect it might have upon manufacturers in this country. He should not hold his opinions conclusive upon the extent of the protection that ought to be given ; but what he should discuss was the question, that if there was to be a copyright, it should be effica cious. To make it so, he thought the time should be extended, but the extension of that time was a matter of too much importance to be discussed then. Care should be taken that that time should not be too long, because if it were it might prejudice the British manu facturer. He thought, however, that the giving of time merely for the purpose of making experiments, would be open to great objection. Ho thought that they should make up their minds as to the extent of the time to which the term should be prolonged. Mr. WARBURTON would vote for the second reading of the 13 , 11, because he agreed with the Right Hon. Baronet in the reasonableness of the end pro posed—namely, to give reward to the inventor, and at the same time to protect the manufacturer. When they came to consider the details of that Bill, two great difficulties would arise. One Lad been already pointed out, natnely, the great litigation which it would cause. By not proposing a cheap mode of trying the issue they lost the object for which the patent was granted, for the wealthy manufacturer would be able to tyrannise over the smaller ; the litter would in a general way be compelled to withdraw from the contest. lc therefore, they did not provide a cheap and expedi• tious Court before which the parties could go, they really did nothing ; and unless he saw such a remedy provided, he should oppose the Bill of the Hon. Gen tleman in all its stages. But another difficulty arose out of the very nature of the subject to be protected. This manufacture had existed and been growing for the last forty or fifty years. In the case of chemical or mechanical inventions, they had records of all the originals from time immemorial. But, in the preseat case, no such records existed. They ought, therefore, to begin by giving one or two years, to enable parties to register a.I patterns existing, or invented in past time, in order to ascertain whether any pa-ticular pattern was or was not original. The case was t'IC same as if they were then, for the first time, seeking to establish patents for chemical and mechanical inventions, without having any record of what had been done in past time. The greatest difficulty, therefore, in the present case, arose out of the subject to which it was proposed to give patent rights. They had no record of the inventions for the last forty or fifty years. How then was the Maim of the alleged inventor to be established ? ( Hear, hear.) There should be a record to which the Judges could refer in case of dispute. But there was yet another difficulty arising out of this Bill. Whiht it prohibited English manufacturers in this country front copying a foreign, there was nothing to prohibit a foreign manufacturer from copying an English patent. —( Hear, hear.) 1 t appeared to him (Mr.Warburton) indispensable, in order to carry out the principle, that there should . be an international copyright.—(Hear, near.) He would, on another occasion, examine sepa rately the clauses of the Right Hon. Gentleman's Bill, but it appeared to him that the difficultie3 which he hat stated deserved the serious consideration of the House. The Right Hon. Baronet stated that the principle had peen already conceded, and, therefore, that they ought not to resist coins into Committee. He (Mr. WO did not resist their going into Committee, but he should not admit the force of the Right Hon. Baronet's argu meets, because he had in the next sentence admitted that the present measure was wholly inoperative. Lord F. EGE RTON thought the details of the mea sure could be much better discussed in Comrnittae, but he would make one observation on a remark of the Hon. Member for Mancheste7, who stated that Scot land and Ireland were in favour of the measure, while Lancashire, according to the inference he drew, was opposed to it. Now, it appeared to him that a majo rity of the respectable manufacturers of Manchester and other districts of Lancashire were in favour of some protection to that department of their trade. Mr. GREG explained. Mr. L ABOUC HERE said it w.ts itnpos3ib:e to re id the evidence that had been taken before the Committee on the subject without coming to the conclusion that great injustice was done to those parties who had invested their capital and energies in the invention of new designs, from the absence of all protection. He th , ,uglit it was the duty of the Government to aff.rd both protection and encouragement to those parties, by the establishment of Schools of Design, and by Legisittive protection.—(He ir, hear.) On these grounds he thought a case had been made out for extlndlng the period of protection for the Copyright of Designs ; at the same time he saw many inconveniences and difficulties which such a step would be likely to create. He made especially a reference to their export trade. It was ad mitted that great diversity of opinion existed on the subject among the manufacturers of Manchester. Such being the case, they were naturally fearful of going too far, and he thought it would be better that the House should rather err upon the safe side. He therefore was very unwilling to extend the period of copyright beyond six months.—(Chrers.) He was willing that the Bill should go into Committee, and there he had no doubt it would be found that its ma chinery might easily be put into play. He holm 1 in the Committee that his Right Hon. Prield would be able to convince the House that six months would be the prope- period. Mr. HUME was much astonished to hear the Right Hon. Gentleman talk in language which he had thought exploded—he did not expect tbat he would again hear any one in that House talk of Government protecting trade and the exports of the country. It was natural that the French should beat us, for their people were used from their infancy to the study of pictures and statues, while our population were refused admission into 'Westminster Abbey or the Royal Academy with out putting their hand into their pockets ; the poor could not do this, and the consequence was they were shut out from all chance of improving their . taste. Should we then complain of our inferiority in producing designs for those fabrics when ne shut out from ail means of improving their taste the middle as well as the lower classes of the community ? We were looking to a remedy from the wrong quarter. Every time it had been attempted to foster manufactures by protection, that attempt failed more or less. The system of protection or monopoly never was attended with soy successful result. He particularly remembered one thee which struck him as remarkable. An Act of Parliament had been passed to encourage the use of buckles, a-md in less thaw five bad Trad Years after th e pass i ng o f t h at A ct t h e use of b uc k les e l t ohgaed rightly t be re ased. stated t The hat it Presiden twasqnaonft itthye more ertdh than anything else w hi c h exten d ed our calico trade, and that aro se f rom thecircumstance of the three mon th s ' that our manuf actures a de a dacturcs l p rospered protection b e i nn . letter. It was on t h at account a intendedte to taonexistd from th e pe riod at which it w as they had. If a real a Pr ot to s o great an extent site hesitation .calieo a t t h w e n in e manufactures, he (Mr. H ume ) had n s aying that we never would ha ve comman d ed tensive foreign trade which we now possessed. Ile could not understand the distinction which had been drawn by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Warburton) be tween copyright in books and copyright in pasterns. He (Mr. Hume) would entreat the House, before they decided hastily on the matter, to attend to the argu. ments advanced on the subject by the Hon. Member for Manchester. Every fact stated by the Hon. Mem. her went to show the pernicious tendency of the BEll now sought to be raised. He (Mr. Hume) would op pose the second reading of the B ill ; and he trusted the llousT would not retrace the step s it had been so lately taking of doing away with monopoly and patronage, by now sanctioning so great an absurdity as an a ttempt to improve manufactures by a system of protection. 1-1 e agreed with his Hon. Friend ( Mr. Warburton) that the details could never be carried out, and on that ground he would vote against the second reading of the Bill. Mr. E WART said he believed that in the Commit• tee the copyright was agreed to by only a majority of one.—(No, no.) • • Mr. E. TENNENT bad been appealed to, and he could assure the Hon. Member that the decision was come to by a majority of six to three. Mr. EWA RT believed that the real principle was decided by the casting vote of the Chairman. He was opposed to the Bill, because he feared that if it became the law 01 the land they would shut themselves out from being the great suppliers of the wort'. He thought national taste was only to be improved by education, and a free entrance into places where works of art were exhibited. He was of opinion that the whole subject should be gone into, and that they should not legislate THE SVN, LONDON. TIitTRSDAY. MARCH 4, _lB4 - - piecemral upon it. He tiougat they ought to pause in their legislation, for he did not think that prot: , et'nn would be of any use ; patterns would be so closely copied, yet with a marked disikw.ian, that in fact the rc prietor would not be hi-ne&ed. He certaiely should prefer the shol-tw period. Mr. GODSON wisliel to set the Hon. Member right as to the decision of the Committee in favour of the Extension of Copyright. The resolution was carried not by a majority of one but of seven to one. Mr. EWART explained. Mr. MUNTZ was surprised to hear from the Hon. Member for Manchester, that the protection was useless to the inventors, whereas the fact was, that the most enterprising manufacturers in the country owed all their wealth to the protection, such as it was, that the present law afforded to them. He would support the Bill, because he thought it was both just and pru dent for the Legislature to give that degree of protec tion which would induce ingenious men to devote their time to she inv-ntion or desigw. Mr. E. TENNENT would not occupy the time of the House by discussing the pririciple of the Bill on this occasion. Ho would be happy to avail himself of the offer of the Vice-President of the Board of 'frade, and to malty., with the Right Hon. Gcneeman's as sistance, the provisions of the measure as perfect and comprehensive as possible. The Bill was then read a second time. Mr. E. TENNENT said, that the amendments suggested by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade would require much consideration, and he should therefore move the committal of the Bill pro forma on Friday night next, when he would give notice of his fur ther intentions respecting the promet;en of the measure, w , -re tried, and the Court, having tonAuled the Lusiness on the criminal side, rose at an early hour. HOME CHICUIT—Hrr.TroR D , MAncrr 3. The Cernmi,sien of A< , s . ze for the e ,unto of Hr its opened this day at the Shire Hall. Mr. Baron Parke arr:, - ,-d in the town, escorted by the Sheriff and the usual cal— , about twa o'clock, and haring attended divine servke at Sr. Andrew's church, he proceeded to open the Commission. The calendar is not only unusually heavy, but the charges are aho of a serious character. A number of causes are not down for trial ; the complete cause list is not yet made up. Both Courts proceed to business this morning at ten o'clock. Lord Denman will preside in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Parke at Nisi Prius. that he Nvi , lied they might get Captain Loose there, but he was quite sure he would not go, he had not even gone to settle his insurance for his own chronometer. I after wards saw Pstriek in an office which he had in Crosby-hall Chambers. I ack !du if he had seen Captain Loose; and he said he was not in London ; this was ab o ut a wee k ater the last conversa tion.. He said he wished he was in London, for he would give him a ship directly, he was a very clever fellow, and deserve d all he had got, for he had done th Dryad's job very clean. I said he must have been well paid if he had done so. He Laughed, and said a thousand or two, that was all. I recollect when the prisoner was taken into custody on 27th November, I saw him at the Mansion-house, and asked him what was the meaning of it ;- he said it was the Dryad. I s lid then my suspicions all along had been correct. He said it was a bad job, but I need not fear, because I was only the agent, but he was afraid he should be transported. I sad why should you fear that, you were not master of the ship. lie said, Oh ! the goods were never on board. There are papers in the house which will prove me guilty. I had been taken into custody at this time. The conversation was about five minutes before we went up before the Lord Mayor. I saw hins several times while he was in custody. Going back in the coach he told Roe, the officer, he should be after his brother, as lie was the rogue ; all he had done was for him. 1 do not believehe would have been in this scrape except for ha brother. The examination in chief of the witness being concluded the Court adjourned for refreshment at two o ' c l oc k, before going into the cross examination. The Court re-assembled at half-past two, velen Mr. PHIL LIPS proceeded with the cross-examination of the witness Stott—lt was about three weeks after the conversation relating to Zulieta that prisoner was taken up. I was taken up at the same time. Mr. Phillips, jun., was in the room at the Mansion-house when the conversation took place ; he interrupted us, and told me I must not speak to him. Almost all his conversations were in a jocular manner. I told him that I had heard of ships being sent out on purpose to be lost, and I asked him if the Dryad was one of those. He became exceedingly in dignant, anal threasened to kick me out of the room. I missed him from London about July last. He told me he was absent at St. Petersburgh on business. Mr. Ps-fumes—Did you sutppose there was anything wrong in this young man about this business ? Witness--I thought there was something very curious about it, but I did not suspect any fraud. His brother was taken up about three weeks after Patrick was in his custody. I saw his sisters in the ante-room at the Mansion-house the day I was there last, but had no conversation with them. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I never had any difference with Patrick Wallace. Mr. Michael Wills—l am Secretary of the Neptune In surance Company. The policy produced was effected with that Company on the ship Dryad and her outfit for 2,700/. 1 am the subscribing witness to its execution. It is signed by Michael Wallace. I am the subscribing witness to another policy, dated 17th August same year, for the chartered freight of the Fame ship on the same voyage, from Liverpool to Santa Cruz, for 7001. lam also the subscribing witness to a third policy, dated 21st August, 1839, for 687/. for goods shipped on board the same vesel, for 33 tierces of beef, 43 barrels of pork, 35 firkins of butter, and 30 crates of earthenware. The bill of lading is the one which was produced or paying the loss. There was a total loss paid on the three policies. Ido not know the writing of the body of the bill of lading. Mr. Stott recalled—Swore the bill of lading was in Patrick Wallace's writing. Mr. Wills's examination continued—The cheques produced are those by which I paid the sums claimed. Before they were finally settled the office required a letter of indemnity. The letter produced was given in respect of the goods. The in surance on the goods was effected by Linder and Hall, and that on the ship and freight by Selden and Johnson. I received two letters of indemnity, one from each party. (Ur. Stott proved that the body of the one received from Selden and John son was written by Mr. Selden, and signed by Mr. Wallace. The one from Linder and Hall, Stott could not swear to the Handwriting of the body, but the signature was Patrick Wal lace's writing.) The papers produced are the slips produced at the office on which the policies were prepared. Thomas Johnson examined by Mr. Bonxisr—l am a ship and insurance broker, in partnership with Mr. Selden • I ef fected the policies produced in the Neptune for Michael Wal lace. I did not see him personally on the subject. I received the letters produced in the course of these transactions. I be lieve them to he Michael Wallace's hand-writing. I have never seen him write, but have corresponded with him. (The letters were put in and read; they were ordering the witness to effect insurances in any of the Companies except the Ma rine and Lloyd's on the Dryad, and her chartered freight out and home.) The papers pr, duced are the slips by which the policies wore effected by our firm. My partner received the amount of the policies as for a total less, by desire of Michael Wallace on the sth February, 1840. I received the total amount. The check now produced is in my partner's hand writing ; it is signed on the back by Michael S. Wallace, and is for the total amount less our commission and premium. Mr. Robert Selden—l am the partner of the last witness. The cheque produced is in my hand-writing. I delivered it to Michael Wallace. Henry Hall—l am in partnership with Mr. Linder as ship brokers. The policy produced was effected in the Neptune by us, by the order of Patrick Wallace. I made out my slip f.-r the purpose of taking to the Neptune from the slip handed to me by Patrick Wallace. I have not Patrick Wallace's slip in my possession. I afterwards made a claim as for a total less, by Patrick Wallace's directions. The day after effecting the insurance with the Neptune, I effected an insurance with the Mutual Indemnity Marine Assurance Company by the directions of Michael Wallace. I afterwards claimed for a tidal loss by the direction of Patrick Wallace, who gave me the bill of lading produced, which refers to the Neptune. Oa 29th Ja nuary, 1840, I received the letter produced, signed by Michael Wallace, directing us to pay the money received from the Mu tual to his brother Patrick. He received the money from the Mutual, and paid Mr. Wallace 500/. on account about 29th January. On sth February, 1 received the amount from the Neptune, and gave to Mr. Linder, jun., our clerk, a cheque for 7001. It is the one produced. I gave it him to pay to the prisoner. That was on account of the balance due on both po lices. Mr. W. Stuart—l am the subscribing witness to the policy produced. It is executed by two of our directors, Mr. W. As tell and Mr. G. Hibbert, directors of the Mutual Company. (It was executed 22d August, 1839, for freight of Dryad from Liverpool ) Mr. Oliver Thomas Linder—l am a clerk to Linder and Hall, ship-brokers. I received from Mr. Hall the cheque pro duced for 7001., to be paid to the pri,oner Patrick W. llace. I paid it to him, a-id he indorsed it in my presence. The cheque for 5001. was paid in our counting-house to the pri soner, Patrick Wallace. The body of the letter of ihdemnity produced- is in my writing. It was signed in my presened by Patrick Wallace. Mr. Francis Lewis Philip Secretun—l am an underwriter on the policy produced for 3004 Mr. S. Marshall—l am an underwriter upon the policy produced for 700/. There are fourteen other underwriters to the same polic . l-. Mr. Lodge—l am Secretary to the Marine Assurance Com pany, and am subscribing witness to a policy subscribed by two of our Directors, and effected on the ship Dryad for 2,0001. In January 1840, a claim was made for a total loss, which was adjus'ed on Bth of the same month, with Howding and Ains lie, by paying them a cheque for 1,411/. 195., being the balance due to them after deducting our account against them fur premiums. Mr. Charles Bahr—l am in partnership with Mr. Beherens, at Liverpool. We are ship and insurance brokers. The policy- produced was effected by our firm for Mr. Michael Wa lace. I saw him at Liverpool on the subject. Ido n•,t, recollect whether I ever saw Capia'n Loose. He was at our office. Ido not know if Michael Wallace was there at the time. 1 claimed under that policy as for a total loss in January 1840. I received 5001. on the policy. It is for 6501. It is 5001. on the ship Dryad, and 1501. on the Captain's effects. We paid the 5001. we had received to Michael Wallace. We claimed the 1501. Captain's insurance by desire of Mr. Wallace. It ss as not paid. Michael Wallace told us to insure 150/. on the master's effects. In consequence of some inquiries, I gave the policy up. Cross.examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—We did not press the claim for the Captain's effects. Mr. Frost—Knows Capt. Loose's handwriting. The signature i to the bill of lading produced is in Capt. Loose's handwriting. Peter Kelly—l was a clerk in the employment of Zuiieta. and Co. I entered their employment in IS3I. They carried on business in Liverpool and London. I belonged to the Li • verpool establishment upwards of nine years. They were ex porters of goods to Cuba. I recollect their freighting the brig Dryad in 18.39. I was the shipping clerk. I saw the Dryad lying in St. George's Dock, at Liverpool. I then became ac quainted with Capt. Loose, as the maser of the Dryad. I was on board her from time to time. I knew Michael Wallace as part owner of the vessel, and saw him at Liverpool while she was loading. I never saw him on board the Dryad. He requested me to despatch the vessel—that was in August, 1839. I saw him two or three times. The ship was advertised fur Cuba. No goods offered for her except Zulieta's goods. I saw the goods on board that they sent on board. 'the bill of I ding is the one for those goods it was made according to my direction, and contains the whole of the goods shit ped by Zulieta and Co. We were about a week putting the goods on board. She lay close to the Quay. The goods were sent in carts and barges to the Dryad. They were all on board on the sth of September. I was on board the Dryad after they were shipped. I do not know of any other goods being on board. If there had been several tierces of beef and pork, crates of earthenware, cases of flannel, firkins of butter, and cases of cotton goods I might have seen them. I did not see any other goods besides those mentioned in the bill of lading of Zulieta and Co. I was last ' on board a day or two before she sai'ed, and I did not at that time see anv goods on board but those belonging to Zulieta and Co. If goods had offered according to the course of practice they could not have gone on board without an order from the consignees, Zulieta and Co. They had the whole of the vessel outwards. It was part of my duty to see that no other goods were put on board. If I had seen any other goods it would have been my duty to have named it. Neither Michael Wallace nor Captain Looe ever applied to me to take any goods on board. I do not think the goods and pro visions you have mentioned would occupy a very large space. Earthenware would occupy a very large space. Beef, pork, and butter wou , d not occupy a space anything like earthenware. Eighty crates of earthenware would occupy a space of eighty tons. The whole with beef and pork might occupy 90 tons of space. I scarcely think 90 tons of goods could have been on board the Dryad in addition to Zu lieta's goods without my perceiving it. By the JUDGE —The tonnage of the ship was 204 tons. By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I saw Zulieta's goods stowed away—they would fill about two-thirds of the ship. I should say they were sufficient to fill her up as she was filled when I List saw her. I was present when the captain made his decla ration at the Custom-house. The vessel is generally loaded before she is clear ed at the Custom-house. The master's de claration is the act of clearing her. Goods are sometimes t tken on board after that; in that case there ought to be a fresh entry. There was no second entry of the Dryad. I was down the day that she sailed, but did not go on board. At . the time she was cleared she was two-thirds fil'ed. I recollect Maxwell the mate going to the ship. He came to me two Ways before she sailed. I had been on board dean to the time that he came on board. Up to that time she had been as I have described. Cross-examined by Mr. Piiiwes—She came to Liverpool in July and August. 1 was riot on board night and day. My employers had chartered the v. ssel, and if any goods had been put on board they must have paid the freight; so that if any per•ons wished to ship goods without paying the freight they mast have been put on board clandestinely. Capt. loose did not take a dock berth. She must have been approached by boats on one side. There was no access to her from the river. Things were put down into the bold after I had been in the hold. It is customary occasionally to ship earthenware fos Cuba. It might have been a week before she sailed that I was last in her hold. Mr. PHIIIIPS—Is it not sometimes customary to ahipgoods at Liverpool in fraud of the charterer ? Witne-s—lt might have been done, but never to my know -I.dge. I am the person of all others from whom the knowledge of such a fact would have been concealed in relation to the Dryad, because it would have been my duty to inform my employers. Gads might have been put on boat d without my knowledge. There were ten kegs of paint put on board, and no entry after the declaration. Mr. PHILLIPS—Were there not fifteen kegs of paint and some hardware put nn board after the declaration ?—I believe th,-re mere. I ordered them on board. I did not make a iresh c:earance at the Custom-house. They did not pay the duty. It was so trifling it was not. worth while to make a fresh declaration. Re-examined by the ATTORNZY-GENERAL—.Me tried to , get goods for her down to the last hour. No goods could go on beard before ours. At the time the notice of intention of da:e 1 the ;.15th of August, 1839, wa3 given, the could have had no goods on board her. It was two or thrte days after that that the loading begun. Ea-thenware ar.d : , a:t are shipped from lighters, and other goods from the thore. It would take a day of eight or nine working hours, to strip eighty crates of earthenware. It would require the use of tackle on board, and a good many hands. The provisions would require two or three hours to ship them. I could see the hold from the main hatchway without going down. I had that 'opportunity within three days before the ship sailed. Down to the time of her sailing, we would have taken any goods, that offered. Thomas Sherlock--I am the clerk andexaminer, and clearer in the Long-room, Customs, Liverpool. I produce the Bill of entry and declaration of the master of the Dryad, dated Aug. 1839. ( The documents were put in and read, and proved to be signed by Captain Loose and Peter Kelly, and r lated solely to the goods shipped by Zulicta and Co.) The export duty on earthenware is 10s. per cwt. Salt is free. The entry and declaration are all the documents we have at the Custom-house relating to the Dryad. The docks cannot be entered except at high water, when there is always some one watching. 1 should sky it was almost impossible to ship any thing which scould take eiOtt or nine hours to ship without any one knowing any thing about it. The entries and the master's deearati n correspond, we have nothing to do with the bill of lading. Nothing ma erial was elicited in the course of the cross-exa mination. Captain John Meek—l was master of a vessel called the Bencoolen in 1839. I was bound to Cape Hayti from La , gulyra. On 23d October, the Bencoolen was otf the harbour at Cape Hayti. Her burden was 410.-tons. While off the harbour I was boarded by a pilot. Three pilots came on b , ard. There is a recf of rocks about three miles from the place where the pilot boarded us. I observed a brig to the eastward. She turned out to be the Dryad, Captain Loose. She was going right stem on to the reef. The reef is laid down in the chart, and -well known to mariners. '1 hey are laid down in the chart produced. There is a bank, called the Silver Bank. The reef she was going on is called the Reef of the Harbour of Cape Hayti. They form the outside of the harbour, and ex tend about fifteen miles to the eastward. We waited to see if the brig would alter her course. She did not. Our pilot made a remark. I fired a gun as a signal to the brig to warn them of their danger. she paid no attention, but still went on. I ordered the pilot to go away with his boat direct - y and go on board the vessel. He pulled to her and boarded her. She did not alter her course until the pilot boarded her, but continued going in the direction of the leer. There was a light westerly wind blowing at the time. She could have avoided the reef. When the pilot went on board she altered her course and came into the harbour. I saw Loose on shore there. I observed that the Dryad's rudder had been unshipped and a jury rudder made. Several gudgeons had been unshipped. I attended a survey on board the vessel. The brig was surveyed, and certa'n repairs were ordered. There is a gentleman there acting as Lloyd's agent. I remained at Cape Hayti seven weeks. The Dryad remained a fortnight. I frequently saw Loose. I conversed with him about the b r i g , where she had been, and what had happened to her. Mr. CLARKSON—Did you leant from him what had been the effect of your sending the pilot on board him ? Mr. RuILLIrs objected to any evidence being gone into re garding Loose. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. CLA RKSON contended that they had a right to put the question in order to bring the case home to Loose. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said they had no right to elicit any declaration of the Captain unaccompanied by any act. They could only take his declarations in evidence against the prisoner, where those declarations were accompanied by acts. Examination continued—l saw Loose during the survey. I saw tha mate of the Dryad, Ronald Maxwell, soon alter I arrived. He applied to me for a berth. I met the captain at Killick with the. mate. The captain paid the mate his wages and discharged him. I asked the mate the reason of his ap plying to me for a berth, and he gave me a reason: I gave him a berth. I saw some of the crew on board; they made com plaints in my hearing. I remember the brig leaving to proceed to Cuba after her repairs. The day after I saw Colonel Bi- lister, the Colonel of the port. He made a remark to me, and three or four days after I heard of the loss of the Dryad. I saw down the art hatchway when I was surveying her, and she appeared about two-thirds full of goods. I never saw her log book, nor do I know of any one who ever did see it. From what I saw of her course it appeared to me she had an oppor tunity of avo!ding the reefs before I fired the gun. She had no business there at all—there was nothing in the state of the weather to drive her there. Cross-examined by Mr. I)oANE—I know Maxwell. I have seen him here to-day. I heard a person taken out of Court just now, I believe it was Maxwell's voice. I believe he must have been tipsy. Re-examined--I do not know who made him so, or whether he made himself so. ( While the witness was under examination a man in a state of intoxication was endeavouring to obtain admission into the Court, but he was quickly removed by the officers. ) The Court adjourned at a quarter t•, six o'clock until to morrow. (NEW COURT.) (Be!ore Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and the Costmow Sr nc RANT. ) TRIAL OF CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.—Captain Douglas. accom • panied by several military friends, entered the Court at half past 10 o'clock, and sui rendered himself into the custody of Mr : Cope._ _ _ _ _ At 1 i o'clock Mr. Justice Williams came into Court, when Captain Douglas and two of his friends entered the dock. Some delay, however, was occasioned by one of the witnesses (Sir James Anderson) not being in attendance. Inspector Bustin said he had not served Sir James An derson with any fresh notice of trial since the last sessions. He had not seen him this morning. Shortly afterwards Sir James arrived. The case of the " Queen v. Douglas" having been called on, Captain Douglas and two of his friends advanced to the bar. Mr. Justice Wzmaams—l see, prisoner, that ysu have some friends in the dock with you. Is it your wish that they should remain ? • Captain Douglas—lt is, my Lord. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—Then I see no objection. The Clerk of the Arraigns then read • the indictment. It charged the prisoner, John Dougla., with having, on the 12th of September last, in the parish of Wandsworth, fired or as sisted to fire, a loaded pistol at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett. In another count he was charged with intent to do him some bodily harm. On being asked the usual question, Guilty er Not Guilty, Captain Douglas replied, Not Guilty. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Wrangham, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the prisoner. No counsel was engaged for the prosecution. [The witnesses called were the same as %sere examined upon the late trial of Lord Cardgan in the House of Lords ; and their evidence was merely a repetition of what was given by them on that occasion. It may be remarked that not one of the witnesses could swear to the identity of Capt. Douglas.] The ease for the prosecution having closed, Mr. THESIGER rose, and was about to address the Jury for the prisoner, when Mr. Justice WILLIAMS intimated that it was unnecessary. After a short consultation with the Common Sergeant, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said—Gentlemen of the Jury, when the case was fi rs t ca ll e d on I was very much surprised on being informed that no Counsel was instructed in support of the prosecution. This is a circumstance that I exc ee di ng l y regret, as it h as th rown upon me the difficult and arduous task of examining the witnesses. I have, however, performed that duty to the best of my power and ability. I have called before you and examined all the witnesses whose names appear on the back of the bill. I have examined them all with the greatest care and attention. I have also inquired if there were any other witnesses who could be produced capable of giving evidence, and no one answered. I feel it, therefore, my duty to say I am clearly of opinion that the evidence which has been adduced is not sufficient to support the indictment—in fact, that there is no ease whatever to go to a Jury. No doubt on the 12th of December a duel was fought on Wimbledon Common ; and that after it a man was wounded; but there is no legal evidence to prove that the prisoner at the bar t oo k part i n the transactio n . The prisoner was charged in the first count with maliciously shooting at Hatvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett ; now a card has been produced, which I have seen, Lnt it cannot be received in evidence, for on that card the words Harvey Tuckett only appear; it is clear there was no legal identity. Mrs. Dann could not speak to the identity of the prisoner, who, when she was asked if she knew any of the gentlemen at the bar, pointing to Captain Douglas, said that she thought he was the gentleman who was wounded. In short, the evidence had totally failed to support the indictment, and therefore the prisoner was entitled to his acquittal. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. Captain Douglas and his friends afterwards left the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.IIOUSE. Two dentists, Mr. Madan, of Ludgate-hill, and Mr. Albert, of Moorgate-street, were summoned before Sir Peter Laurie, to answer the compla , nt of a lady of the name of Folkard, who had dealt with them for teeth. The defendants did not at tend, as they considered the case to be out of the jurisdiction of a Magistrate ; but Mr. Richards, a solicitor, represented them. Mr. Hobler, jun. attended for Mrs. Folkard. Mrs. Folkard stated that having seen in a newspaper an ad vertisement. about cheap teeth, to be had off .11. Albert, of No. 41, - Moorgate-street, and being in want of a supply, she called upon that dentist in June last, told him that she re quired the teeth for use and not ornament, and if they could not be made useful, not to mind her mouth at all. He as sured her that he could accommodate her with teeth which, would prove as useful for the purposes of mastication and arti culation as the genuine growth of nature, and that 10 guineas would be the charge. The bargain was made, and the teeth were in due time produced and fitted into her mouth, and she paid the' demand. She was not, however, satisfied with her newly-purchased mouthful, and she said so ; but Mr. Albert assured her that when they were accustomed to her mouth they would work pleasantly. Afterwards she employed the same gentleman, upon his persuasion, to make another set of teeth for her, for which she was to give fourteen guineas. The new set proved to be gross misfits, and broke while in ac tive use in the corner of her jaw. Mr. Albert then said that he would make her another set of a superior kind, for which he must charge her twenty guineas, and he ultimately agreed to let her have the third set, instead of the second, for 201. 145., which money she paid. The teeth, however, turned out quite ' contrary to her expectation, and not only misfitted, but lacerated her mouth, and she called frequently to complain and to have the faults corrected. At last Mr. Albert introduced her to Mr. Malian, who , e pupil he had been. Mr. Malian examined her mouth, and said it was a difficult one "to fit up." She replied that she did not think it was hard to fit her, and he then took out the teeth, looked at them, and said they were worth no thing, and that young persons did them so cheap that they could not be expected to be very good. Sir PETER LAURIE—What! Mr. Mallan objected to the cheapness of the article ! Why he advertises -the cheapest in the world.—(A laugh. ) Mrs. Folkard said that such was the opinion Mr. Malian uttered. He then looked into her mouth again, and puled it about a good deal. She cautioned him agair,st disturbing a tooth which she had in her jaw, but instead of attending to her request he actually forced it out with hi s th um b. Sir PETER LAURIE—What ! he deprived you of the only tooth you had of your own ? Mrs. Folkard said she dirt not say it was the only tooth. At all events, Mr. !Hallam forced it out, and he then took a model of her mouth, and told her that for another 100/. he would make her a very superior set, whirls would la-ther for her life. Sir P. LA inizELOne hundred pounds ! Is it l ossible ? Mrs. Folkard said it was the fact. She said that she could not afford such a sum, but he persuaded her to have the teeth, as she wanted them for real use. He said that he would con sider the money she had already paid to Mr. Albert as a de posit, and allow for it, otherwise he could not supply them for less than 1301. or 1401. He had, upon taking Mr. Albert's new set of teeth out of her mouth, broken them in pieces as useless. Upon subsequently callipg at Mr. Mallan's house, that gentleman put the set of teeth he had agreed to make into her mouth, and she paid him the hundred pounds in a fifty, two twenty, and two five pound notes. Sir P. LAURlE—Well,,how did these superior teeth answer? Mrs. Folkard declared that they did not answer at all, but were worm than Mr. Albert's, and Mr. Malian wished her 114111t4 13- VS vi ry mite!. to take them house, but Pio would 1 Wi mn thin wiih him, and he at cordioLlv took them o , nt that he wou ! d ma k e h er a f.csh set; - L'hc had, however, e' vain. , yfl : Q P T . ••ir.

Mr. HODGES, in moving that the House go into Committee upon the Constabulary Bill, said, that the second reading of the Bill had passed without opposition, on the understanding that the discussion should be taken at this stage. It had since been suggested to him that the Bill was un necessary, on account of the peaceable state of the country, and that his measure was suspersedcd by the Rural Police Bill. But there was nothing in the pre sent Bill which would at all interfere with that Act. The question was a very important one, and excited great in terest eut of doors. He hoped, therefore, that the House would not object to the motion for going into Committee. Mr. FOX MAULE said that he was then about to state those objections to the measure, which he should have submitted to the House on the motion for the second reading, were it nut for the understanding come to on the subject. He was persuaded that his lion. Friend bad introduced tl:e measure with the best in tentions, but he thought that he Iva: el-ogether mis taken in the views he entertained. A Bill had bten formerly passed on the same subjirct in 1839 ; and though that Bdi contained some defects it had been materially improved in the course of last Session. .'Page County Constabulary were now under the control of a Chief Constable responsible for the conduct of the men ; and that system gave great satisfaction. Besides the authorities in counties were now enabl Id to appoint special constables of their own whenever that might be required. These were great improvements on the old system. No douht the present Act led to considerable expense, but he thought that expense was attended v‘ith corresponding advent tges. lie felt that the Bill of his Hon. Fri. nd would completely overturn the enactments of 1839 and 1840, and unnecessarily unsettle the law on a vary important subject. He would therefore move that the Hout,e should go into Committee on that day six months. Mr. MILES thought that the propose I measure would be a material improvement on the old Consta bulary Bill. Mr. GIS BORNE objected to the committal of the Bill. It could not be denied that the old constables were inefficient, but he thought the new rural police would be found to be perfectly sufficient for all purposes required. If the present measure was carried it would interfere with the law now in existence, and would effect na real public benefit. He thought the experi ment of the law at present in existence had not been sufficiently tried. General JOIINSTONE supported the Bill going into Committee, as he had riot heard one argument against it. He believed the provisions of the Bif would very much improve the condition of the consta bulary force throughout the country. Colonel RUS H BROOK supported the 811. Mr. RICE objected not only to the principle of the BiO, but he felt sorry that the discussion of it had prevented a more efficient movsuie being brought in. Mr. T. EGERTON supported the Bill because it was founded upon the smile principle as the Bill that had worked so well in the county which he represented for twelve or thirteen years. Mr. SANFORD opposed the Bill going into Committee, believing that no measure was neces!ary upon the subject. Mr. BRUGES supported the Bill. The measure of 1829 was well suited to part'cular districts ; but the Bill before the House applied more extensively. With regard to the expense, the rural police could not be efficient unless they were establ shed upon an extensive scale, and it must, therefore, be alended with a considerable expenditure. Mr. E. TURNER supported the 811 became it give legitimate authority to Magistrates in the appoint inert of con,table.s. Mr. II ODGES briefly replied. Toe House the., divided, when there appeared— For going- into Committee Against a Maiirity against going into Committee —22 PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL. Mr. KELLY said that as it was not convenient to enter into a discussion on his Bid at thst late hour of the night, he should cont3nt himself with moving the second reading. The Bill was then read pro forma, and ordered to be committed that day fortnight. LEASE AND RELEASE BILL. The Lia3e and Release 811 went through Com , . mittce. COUNTY COURTS' BILL. On the motion for going luta Comm.ttee on the County Court;' Bill, Mr. FOX MAULE stated, that although there gas a dame providing for an deficiency which might occur out of the Consolidated Fund, he did not anticipate that any deficiency would arise ; but unle s there was a clause to that effect, there was a risk that the Judges might not receive their salaries. Col. SIBTHOB.P made some observations which were very inaudible, but we understood him to taunt the Hon. Member for K.lkeany for not opposing tht.t part of the B 1! which relates to the paying of the Judges out of the Consolidated Fund. Mr. HUME was anxious to be economical, but when the justice of ttp country was concerned, he would never throw any difficulties in the way of a full consi deration of the measure. They tk ere not pledging themselves to one sh.lling, for probably the fees of the Courts woull pay all expenses. Tne House then went into Committee, Mr. BERNAL in the Cha'r. On the Re3olution that the House would make up any deficiency that might accrue, _ Mr. H UME inquired whether the G,:vernment:bad yet made up their miuds as to the sa'ary to be given to the Judzes. Mr. F. MAULE said the saltry would depend upon the amount of labour attached to the office—in no case would it mote than 1,500/. Tae ll!solutio❑ was then agreed to, to be reporttd on Friday. The other Orders of the D.ty were then disposed of, and the House Adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-NEWCASTLE, MARCH 1. WOOD V. FENWICK AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case is a lad of eighteen years of age, a " putter," as it is called, in the West Cramlington Colliery. The defendants are Magistrates who meet in petty sessions at Tynemouth. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for the alleged illefral imprisonment of the plaintiff. The plaintiff, it appeared, had, with a number of other in dividuals, entered into what is called a pit bond, engaging them to work at certain wages for the owners of the West Cramlington Colliery, from the Ist of April, 1840, to the Ist of April, 1841. The plaintiff continued to work under this agreement up to July, 1840. On the3lat ofJuly a strike took place. The pits continued idle till the sth of August, when a consi derable number returned to work. The plaintiff, among the rest, wrought until the 7th of August, which was the Friday, on which day he went to Mr. Taylor, who was a son of one of the proprietors, and superintended the working, of the pit. He said, "Mr. Taylor, I will consider myself free from this even ing." On the Monday the plaintiff did not return to his work, and on the Tuesday, a warrant having been applied for, he was taken before the present defendants, sitting at Tynemouth in stk Petty S ess i ons, and charged under the statute w i t h h av i ng im properly l e f t hi s employment.

(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS. ) CASE OF THE DRYAD. Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace, aged 28, and Patrick Maxwell Stewart Wallace, aged 24, were placed at the t ar, charge:l with being accessories before the fact to the felonious casting away of the ship Dr)a.:l, with intent to defraud the underwriters. (Continued from The Sun cf Yesterday. ) Mr. JERVIS was about to proceed, when Lord Chief Justice TINDA L said the objection came t 7 o I le. Mr. CLARKSON then called, George Herring—l carry on business at No. 12, Bishops gate-street Within, as a ship-broker. I procured a charter party for Zulieta and Co. and the owners of the ship Dryad. The charterparty produced is the one in question. I am the subscribing party. I taw it executed by Zee heti and Co., and M chael Wallace. Zulieta and Co. have a house at Liverpool and at London. The ship was en gaged by the London house, subject to the Liverpool le use not having engaged a ship. (The chartnioarty was then put in and reed, from which it appeared that Zulieta and Company chartered the brig Dryad, A 1, burden about 240 tons, for a voyage from Liverpool to Santa Cruz, in the island of Cuba, and that they were to have the who'e room in the ship for the purpose of stowage. It was signed by Michael S. S. Wallace, on behalf of the owners of the Dryad. Edward Howden examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I am in partnership with Mr. Ainslie as ship-brokers and ship owners. I knew the brig Dryad; we owned one-fourth of her ; Mr. Michael Wallace owned the remaining three-fourths. She was chartered in July, 1839, to Zulieta and Co. Mr. Michael Wallace acted as ship's-husband. She was lying at Liverpool. He directed 2,0001. insurances to be effected on the ship, which was done. Mr: C. PHILLIPS objected to this evidence. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—Part of the res gestm charged is the effecting insurances, and they must prove it. The Witness—This is the policy effected on the ship, Michael had a copy of it. ('f he policy effected in the Marine Assur ance Company was then put in and read, the premium in which was 147/., the ship being insured in 2,000/. ) There was a total loss claimed upon that in Jan., 1810. I paid three-four hs of what I received to Michael Wallace. I also effected a po'icy of 300/. at Lloyd's, for the chartered freight, by desire of Michael Wallace.—( The policy was put in and read, it was effected at seven guinea; per cent.) A total loss was clairn-d for, and three-fourths of the money received was paid to Michael Wallace. Michael Wallace had a copy of the policy. Cross-examined by Mr. PHIL urs.—Alr. Wallace par_ chased the three-fourths of the ship at the rate of 1,600/. for the whole. After that she was put into dry • dock, and made a first-class ship. This was in October, 1537. Her value was increased in consequence. She was coppered. About 600/. was laid out upon her. Ido not include the stores in that. I should value the stores of the ship at probably 150!. There was no salvage on the ship to my knowledge. We received a bill for 4001. from a person named Frost. It was not for salvage. Re-examined by the AT TORNEY- GRN EK A We got the mo ney upon the 400/. bill, and we kept the money and still have it in our possession. The value of the Dryad, in I 539, wis 2,000/. ; I believe site would have sold for that previous to that voyage from Liverpool to Santa Cruz. We never in sured her under 2,0001. The first voyage she was insurel for 2,400/., and afterwards for 2,100!. I did not knew of aiy other policies effected on the sl.ip and freight for that voyage at the time she sailed. Samuel Wheatley—l am an insurance-broker. I effected the policy produced for Zulieta and Co. at Loyd's. A total loss was claimed 7th November, IS4O, and paid to Zulieta ai.d Co. (The policy was put in and read, and was dated Sep tember 1839, and was for the cargo shipped on board the Dryad from Liverpool to Santa Cruz. Zuleita. and Co. male the declaration of the value; it was dated 17th September. It was effected on hardware, earthenware, sugar mills, pane, and salt, for 3,000/. It was signed by the, underwriters in my presence. . _ _ James Shepherd-_I belong to the Alliance Marine Insurance Company. I have a policy for 7151. for goods on board the Dryad. It is executed by three of the Directors. ( The policy was then put in, dated 4th Aug. 1839, and effected in the name of Mr. S. Wallace, on goods shipped on board the Dryad, for the voyage from Liverpool to Cuba, upon 40 cases of flannels, two cases of cloth, two cases of printed cotton:, making in all 7151. value, insured at 40s. per cent.) Mr. Stott was the broker who effected the insurance. The bill cf lading was brought to the office by Mr. Stott, when the claial for a total loss was made. The loss was finally settled on Mr. Stott bringing an undertaking to reimburse us if anything should be saved. The cheque produced for the 7151. is the one paid by the ace to Mr. Stott on that account. James Grey—l am superintendant of the underwriting de partment of the General Maritime Insurance Company. I produce a policy effected on the Dryad for 1,234/. 12s. It is signed by the Directors. (The policy was then read. It was dated 7th August, 1839, and was effected in the name of James Stott, on the voyage from Liverpool to Santa Cruz, and nas on pork, butter, earthenware, cottons, and blankets, valued at 1,2641. 121. at 40s. per cent.) It was effected by Mr. James Stott. The piper produced is signed by Stott. I paid a sum Of SO per cent. amou iting to 1,f.)12/. on it, as a part for the total lots in January, 1810. At that time the bill of lading now put in was produced by Stott. The cheque produced for 1,012/. is the one I paid Stott on that occasion. I received the paper of the valuation of the goods from Stott at the time the in surance was effected. I paid the balance 2531. in Oatobsr, and received from Stott the letter of indemnity produced. The cheque for 2531. is the one produced. James Stott, examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —I have been a ship broker. 1 was brought up n Selden and Johnson. I let them in 1837, and some time ofi er commenced business on my own account as a ship broker at 37, Seething-lane, Tower-street. I became acquainted .)hill Patrick Wallace when I was at Selden and Johnson's. He naa an ale and porter merchant, and an importer of bristles and isinglass. His place of business was 18, Cooper's-row, 'Poser-hill. He had lived there in 1839; latterly he lived at Windsor-terrace, City-road. tie employed me in my busi ness in passing entries for him, and gave me an order to effect some insurances in August, 1339. It was to insure 1,264/. 123. on goods by the Dryad with the Maritime Insurance Office. He gave me a specification of the goods. The one produced is in my writing, copied from his directions, he saw it. I was to show it to the office. (The specification was put in and read.) I signed the slips Liven by the Maritime Office, which is now produced. (The slips were put in and re :d.) he policy which has been put in was the one I effected. I handed it over to Mr. P. Wallace. In February, 1840, he instructed me to claim a loss upon the policy. lie brought me the bill of lading, and asked if it was of any consequence, as rod being stamped. I told him I did not think there would be any objection. It was the first time I had seen the bill of lading. He went and got it stamped, p ay i ng t h e penalty ofs/. I claimed a total loss. Eighty per cent was paid to me by the cheque produced. I handed it over to Patrick Wallace. They (leaned paying more at that time. The prisoner frequently desired me to claim the remaining 20 per cent. I did so, and they asked fur an undertaking. I communicated it to Patrick, who gave me the undertaking produced. It is wholly in his hand writing. (The undertaking was then read ; it was dated the 9th of October, and was signed " P. M. S. Wallace.") 'I hey pail me the remaining 20 per cent., by the cheque produced. I got it changed, and paid Patrick the balance due to hint, deducting my commission and the amount due to me. It was for 2831. 1 deducted 50/, and handed him the balance. Ile expressed himself contented with the settlement of the ac count, as I had had an immensity of trouble. He signed the receipt produced, which I had written. He gave me instruc tions not to leave the protest longer than two days. When I went to make the claim he told me he had got it by favour, and was nut to keep it longer than that time. The officer at first refused, and I told him so, and that at the office they said they never saw such a protest, and wanted the Captain's letter. Prisoner said it was no business of his, he had not got it, and would not show is them. I told him he had better F et it, and he said he would endeavour to do so. l'wo days after he brought the letter, and said it had co t him two sovereigns. I asked him how it could do so. He said he had given it to Howden and Ainslie's clerk, who had given him the letter, unknown to both, in order that they should not mention it to his brother, who he did not wish to know that he hail effected an insurance. In April, 1839, he o dered me to effect an insurance by the Alliance. Prisoner said his brother wished 7151. insurance done on his goods by the Dryad. I ascertained the premium. He gave me the specification produced. I signed the slip produced, which was made out by the gentleman at the insurance office. The policy produced is the one I made with the Alliance. I handed it over to the prisoner. I was instructed to claim a loss nu that. A few days after the loss was claimed for from the 'Mari time. He gave me the protest, the policy, and the bill of lading. The bill of lading is nosy produced. I demanded a total loss from the Alliance ; they paid the whole of it. '1 he bill of lading is in the hand-writing of Patrick, and also the one of the goods insured in the Maritime. I have no doubt but that the writing of both bills is in the hand-writing of l'a trick Wallace. Ido not know the writing of Loose. At the Al iance they wanted a letter . from his brother. I told Patrick so ; and he said one from himself would do as well, for he had given one before to Lindell and Hall for the Neptune Com pany. He gave me the letter produced, signed " M. S. Wallace." It is in Patrick's hand 'writing. ( The letter of indemnity to the Alliance was put in and read. ) 'I hey paid a total loss by the cheque produced. I paid it to Patrick, the prisoner. The London and Westminster Bank were Patrick Wallace's bankers. The cheque is crossed " Lon don and Westminster Banking Company." the receipt i.ro duced is in Patrick Wallace's writing, and was given to me by him on receiving the cheque. I asked him if he had received any further information from the wreck, and he said his bro ther had received a ktter. I said that was all right, and asked for it to take to the Maritime Insurance Office. He said he wished they might get it, fur he did not intend to show it to them—they had the protest and the policy, and that was all that was required by law to settle it, and if they did not settle Ilesai d s ai d no h before the twel vemon th was up, h e would make them. 1 said saved, or , but p ock no . bleef asked or p what ork. he ee laughed would be b e tt er t o d o i t am i ca bly if they could.

I af. tens ards asked if h's friends had got any informati as to Loose's death, when he said he believed he was not dial, but in London, and had been three weeks.
