Bow-STREET.—Yesterday information:: under the Game Laws, were heard before Sir R. Bitextz, against Jar. Pearce, a respectable looking man, and Mr. Noel Delay ro;a., for un lawfully "beating for game," they not being duty qualified to kill game. The informer in these cases was Alr. John Nicolls, of Willsden Middlesex, the proprietor of consider a bl e l an d e d property in that par; of country ; and in suppoi •of the in formations, Mr. Joseph Nicolls, the informant's brother, and Mr. Boyce Coombe, the Chancery Barrister, were called as witnesses, The case against Pearce, who is bailiff to Mr. Denew, the auctioneer, who has an estate in the Harrow-road, was first called on ; and Mt-. Boyce Coombe deposed, that on the day mentioned iiithe information he was out u p on M r . Ni co ll s s grounds in company with that gentleman's brother, when he heard a gun go off; and in the next field he saw the detenaant and Mr. Delacroix together. The smoke arose from between them, and he could not tell which of them had fired. They had pointers with them, and were, what is termed in sporting phraseolegy, " beating up for game." Each of them had a gun. The witness spoke to them, told them they were upon trespass, and requiral to know if they were qualified, and de manded their certificates. The defendant admitted that he had not a certificate, and witness obtained his name. Mr. Joseph .licolls corroborated this statement. A Solicitor, on behalf of the defendant, submitted an objec tion to the intbrrnation, which, however, was overruled. Sir R. Buts' E asked the defendant if he had any answer to the charge The defendant, after some hesitation, said, sturdily, " I deny it altogether." Sir R. BIRN lE—Am Ito suppose, then, that Gentlemen of known character and respectability would come forward and swear falsely against you ? There is a penalty certainly, but that could not be an object with such men, and I will venture to say, that not a farthing of it will be pocketed by either of them. Money could not be an object with the respectable Gen tleman who has laid this information. Defendant—l don't know that. I know that he cannot, or does not pay his ponr's rates. Mr. Nicolls smiled, and sir RICHARD BIRNIE told the defendant he had better not indulge in observations of that kind. The penalty was fixed by the Act, and the Magistrate had no power to mitigate it. The defendant must pay 51. and costs. " 0, very well," said the defendant, putting his hand into his pocket, "I am prepared with the money. lam not at a loss for 51. it is no object tome though it may be to him."—(Look ing towards Mr. J. Nicolls.) Sir R. BIRNIE—Sir, I will not permit such remarks to be made, and if you repeat them you and I perhaps may not part quite so easily. Defendant—l have a right to speak. Sir R. BIRNIE—Yes, certainly, but not to be insolent, and I will not permit - you to be so here. The defendant paid the tine and costs and retired, not, how ever, without throwing something like a glance of anger and contempt at the gentlemen who had been instrumental in pro curing his conviction. The information against Mr. Delacroix was n e xt p rocee d e d on, and he having pleaded " Not Guilty," Mr. Combe and Mr. Joseph Nicolls proved the same facts against him as in the case of Pearce, with the addition, that when Mr. Combe spoke to Mr. Delacroix in the field, the latter said— "o,l am right ;I am known to your master,"—(a laugh) —meaning Mr. Joseph Nicolls, who was then coming up.-- Mr. Combe asked him if he was qualified, and he said he was. In this ca se t h e d e f en d an t' s Solicitor cont en d e d t h at the evidence was at v ar i ance with the - information, which c h arge d i 9 client h w he ith d beingd kill a there iti dweisttitiviyntgeanttateo, whereas the evidence kill and dest roy game, his dtat only went to chew that he was " beating for game." Sir R. BIRNFE overruled this objection, observing, that he must take the answer given by the defendant to Mr. Combe—" am qualified," as a tacit acknowledgement of the intent with which he was out, and proof of the intent to kill game, was quite sufficient for this information. Was the de fendant of age? • Defendant.—l am, Sir. Sir R. BIRNIE—Do you reside at your father's house? The defendant answered in the affirmative. Sir R. BIRN lE—ls he of any business or profession ? Defendant—He is in trade. Sir R. BIRNIE—That will not do. You must be the son of an Esquire to be qualified. Defendant's Solicitor—ln point of property the defendant ought to be qualified. His father is worth 4,0001. or 5,000/. a year. Mr. Boyce Combe—A pretty round income for a perfumer certainly. Sir R. BIRN It (significantly )---o, Mr. Combe, 1 know of other businesses which produce as large, and perhaps larger in comes than has been mentioned, and I could name one that does, but I wont. Mr. Comb* laughed. He was pr o b a bly reminded b y the Chief Magistrate's observation of a certain large building in Castle-street, Long-acre. Solicitor.—l assure your Worship, that I rather under -rate Mr. Delacroix's income. Sir R. BIRNIE.—I haven° doubt of it. sir. I myself know a perfumer in Bond-street, Mr. Smith. to whom I should be very glad to give 4,0001. or 5,0001. a year for his property.__ The income of Mr. Delacroix, sen., does not, however, qualify his son. It is a singular fact, and perhaps li ale known, that though this young gentleman is the son of a respectable man of large property, he is not qualified, while the son of a half-pay Captain—his father; perhaps, in the King's Bench for debt— would be qualified, and why? because he is the son ofanEsquire. Mr. Delacroix being asked f he had any answer to give to the charge, said his father had been going to qualify some years ago, and he (defendant) thought be had done so, and that he himself, as the son of a qualified person, had a ritjtt to carry a gun. " I remember," continued the defendant, addressing Mr. J. Nicolls, the witness, " that in your uncle's lifetime I had leave to shoot over the ground, when you dare not spew your face upon it; and at that time I saw you hunting. over his ground and could have warned you off myself, but I scorned it ; and I think your conduct extremely uncourteous and ungentle manly to drag me here and make me pay a fine for that which I suffered you to do when it was in my. power to prevent it. I repeat that it is acting unlike a gentleman." Mr. Coombe—Sir, such language is not to be borne by a gentleman, and I will not stand tamely by and hear it applied to a friend of mine. Sir R. Birnie cannot, will not suffer it. It is his duty to put a stop to it, inasmuch as it is highly cal culated to lead to a breach of the peace. 1 can tell you, for my self, that were I standin g withi n reac h I wou ld not listen to such remarks if applied to me, for one minute, without knock ing you down. - Sir R. MR:llE—Gentlemen, Gentlemen, I must stop you now certainly. Defendant—l again repeat that it is exceedingly in:courteous treatment. Sir R. BIRNIE—That may have been the case, but with that part of the story I have nothing to do. You must settle your opinions upon the question of courtesy and good manners else where ; this is not a court of honour. If we were to engage in settling quarrels between Gentlemen upon such points, and pre venting duels, we should never be idle. Mr. Delacroix—There is no fear of duelling in this case Sir Richard, for he (looking at 31r. Joseph Nicolis) has shewn a white feather once already. No reply was made to this observation. Sir R. BIRNIE concluded the case by saying, that he did not choose to state there what his opinion of the Game Laws was, nor was it necessary that he should. There was an Act of Par liament before him and he was bound to proceed upon it. He considered the charge proved, and the defendant must pay M. and costs. The defendant paid the tine and costs immediately, and Mr. John Nicholls, who, as the informer, was entitled to half the penalties, requested that his share might be given to " The Society for Relieving Poor Married- Women in Childbirth at their own Habitations," of which Institution the Chief Magis trate is Treasurer. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. MANstox-HousE.—A Gentleman applied at the Mansion house for information in what manner to proceed against one of the companies which have had their short career in the stock market. He had purchased a great number of shares in the company, the prospectuses of which promised wonderful things; and believing it to be a really good concern, in consequence not only of the written assurances of its high respectability but of the verbal recommendations given by the directors, he intended to make an investment. A considerable period elapsed, during which he had employed himself in entertaining the most lively hopes of success. Finding, however, that the very name of the company was matter of doubt and curiosity, soon after the " rig" in the market had terminated, and that the shares were not sale. able except at a heavy discount, he thought proper to make some inquiry at the banking-house where the deposits had been paid. He there received information which induced him to send the following case to an eminent counsel for his opinion : " A. B. purchased 100 shares in a company established under the accompanying prospectus."—(The prospectus enu merates the most splendid advantages, and mentions the names of several directors)—" The directors state their capital to be 200,000/., in 4,000 shares of 501. each. Only one half of so many shares have been taken up. The company are prose cuting their objects upon such small deposits as have already been paid (21. per share), their deed of settlement is preparing, and, when approved by the directors, will be required to be executed by the shareholders, and a further call of 31. per share will be immediately made; and if the deed is not executed, and the call paid, the deposit of 21. will be for feited. Your opinion is requested whether under the above circumstances the directors are justified by law in prose cuting the objects of the company upon so small a capital, without the consent of the shareholders; if not, what course the shareholders should adopt to obtain a return of the de posits already paid ?" Opinion.— " I think that the directors will not be justified in proceeding to effect the objects of the company until all the shares have been purchased : and though a bill in equity may in strictness be necessary, yet Lam inclined to recommend an action of assumpsit for money had and received, to recover the money from the persons who now hold the same." The following case was then submitted : " Whether, if it should be proved that the company have not commenced business, the shareholders have not a right to claim a return of the deposits by an attachment in the Lord Mayor's Court ?" Opinion —" I think the shareholders may, if a reasonable time for disposing of all the shares has elapsed, claim a return of their deposits ; and supposing the same are in the hands of persons in the city, they may proceed by attachment." The gentleman who submitted those qu4stions for the consi deration of Counsel, asked whether there was not a more sum mary mode of proceeding, by which a man might regain his property, than that recommended by Counsel, and whether the Lord Mayor would have any objection to summon the bankers to account for detaining money to which they had no claim, and which had been obtained under no other than false pre tences by the directors of the company. Alderman Tit ORP, who sat for the Lord Mayor, said he be lieved the directors might be proceeded against for the amount of the deposits, if it appeared to be improbable that the corn. parry could proceed in the speculation upon which such praises had been bestowed : but he did not think the case was one in which the Chief Magistrate could interfere. He thought, in fact, the case would be likely to meet with a satisfactory ar rangement if left to the opinion and care of Counsel. The applicant said he had three prospectuses, each of which contained a change of names in the direction, so that he did not know upon which to fix as responsible persons. He pressed very bard ror a summons to the bankers, but the application was refused ; the Alderman, however, leaving the option to the gentlemen who in,,tle it to appeal to the Lord Mayor. Upon a former day a complaint of a somewhat similar nature was made by a gentleman to the Lord Mayor, against one of the steam companies, which, if their professed object had been carried into effect, would have covered the Thames with nothing but steam. He had purchased shares at a considerable premium (21. per cent. we believe), under the impression that investment would be safe and profitable, but his shares dropped down to make room for the enormous flood of speculations of the same kind with which the Stock Exchange had been a few months ago daily inundated. Every body spoke well of the company for a short time after it became overcast, but at length, the words " humbug," and " dead robbery," were attached to its name, and now the sum of Os. a share was offered for what had cost the applicant 41. The applicant begged to know whether the bankers, whose experience in humbugs of this kind must have put them in possession et' the faculty of discovering that this was nothing else, could not be compelled to give up the de posits they had received. The LORD MAYOR gait:, he did not know what they might - nett be compelled to do in a court Of law or equity, but he would say that they ought, without being pressed upon the subject, to give up the property deposited under such circum stances as had been stated. It was stated that Messrs. Fry and Co. were paying the de posits made upon shares in some companies, to which they had the honour to be bankers, but which it was impo ss ibl e to i n d uce on operations. It is to be hop e d t h at this example f o llowed. Banking-houses should not be confederates into will suchc a b r carry system of deception.

About five months ago, having occasion to have some repairs done to her cow-shd, she wcmt to a carpenter in the vicinity, Who sent the prisoner as his journeyman ; and in consequence of the conve rs ati o n that pas.led betwren them while the repairs were going on, she per mitted him thereafter to visit at her houSe rn the character of an admirer. He very promptly made overtures of rrarriav to her, but nothing very definitite was either said or doLe,. until Monday, the 17th inst., when she received by the hands of one of her boys who attenfils the cows t o the field; the following ' " Joseph Eastern-111y dear Wallis-4 shall fade a plaShure in soaking with you as quick as pasable at the Wight Bear, Ken ingtou -rode. " I remain yours fbr life." Being out upon business at the time this, note arrived, nearly- three hours elapsed before she reached the White Bear, blif he was still waiting, and accosted her in the kindest manner. —lle said he had experienced some little difficulties lately, and he entertained an idea of taking a country ale-house, with a few acres of ground attached ; and with her careful manage ment he doubted not that they should be supremely happy. He had 3501. principal money, and accumulations of interest to the amount of 451. more lying in the Bank, which, if she would approve of his scheme, he would sell out on the following day.' Site expressed her warm approbation of this plan, upon which he threw himself upon his knees, uttered a fervent oath, calling God to witness that he loved her as dearly as his life, and dearer than he had ever loved any woman Upon earth, save one, now no more ; and promised that he would treat her chil dren as though they had been his own. He then stated, that before he could sell his stock he must get some papers out of ' the hands of a gentleman in the Temple, and that he should require the loan of 101. front her to pay to that gentleman.—. She agreed to let him have it, and he then drew the gold ring off* her finger, telling her that he wanted it to get another ready for the day of marriage. They then separated, and in the evening he came to her house and slept with her son. By nine o'clock on Tuesday morning they had started on their way to the Temple, to get the writings out of the law-' yer's hands ; and having walked as far as the Prince of i'Vales; in Prospect-place, Lambeth, he went in and brought out a trunk, which he said contained a valuable parchment, and his wearing apparel, of the value of 201. A little farther on he called a coach, and they proceeded to the Feathers, in Temple-lane, the prisoner calling upon her to pay the coach hire. It was settled in the coach that he should take out a licence in the. Commons that very day, and that the ceremony should take plke on Wednesday ; and he told her she should make a " widow's will," as lie had plenty of property independent of bees, having, besides his money in the Bank, an estate in Lincolnshire worth 1,0001. At the Feathers he treated her with some rum and water, and said, "My dear, I hope you will.not dishonour me." " What do you mean ?" she asked. " Why," said he, "it looks so for a woman to pay—let ice have the money now." She told him she would not ; it lA'r his own proposition that she should see the writings produced and the money paid. " But," said he, " who is to mind my box with the clothes and the parchment ? poh ! poll 1 it looks so for a woman to go with one. I will just step across the square ; I shall not be long; I will bring the clerk with me, and the landlord shall be a witness to my paying the money." While he was saying this, he forcibly drew her hand out of her pocket, and putting in his Own hand, got possession of her purse and 14 sovereigns. Though she resisted this pro ceeding, her faith in his protestations of honour and love was too strong to allow her to make any alarm. Ile departed in an instant, and she saw him not again until he was taken into custody, on Sunday last. After waiting his Laura) several hours, she set off to the Bank, which she found closed, it being a holiday. The dreadful truth then rushed into her imagina tion; she hurried home, and e xa m in e d t h e b ox , w h en, i nstea d of fie clothes and parchment, an old frying-pan, with the handle bent double, a cheek for a Stove, a garden -pot, a brck bat, two pair of old black stays, the body of an old red gown . some old shoes, &c. presented themselves to her view. The prisoner had stated himself to be lodging at N 0.19, Tra.. fa/gar-street, Walworth, and . by the diligent aid of a friend.. a Mr. George, she discovered that the prisoner had a wife and several children ; that he had been cohabiting with another female some time, and that he was now living with her at her brother's, at Eynsford, near Farningham, where he was ac cordingly apprehended on Sunday. The woman appeared cog nisant of the prisoner's transaction with the complainant, for when Mr. George produced the warrant. Easton immediately said to her—" Oh, this is about mother Wallis's business ;-" and at parting the woman gave hint five shillings to make him comtbrtable on the road. Mrs. Wallis's purse was found in I his possession. Before the Alderman, yesterday, Mr. Ledwick appeared as Mrs. Wallis's Solicitor, and the above diets having been given in evidence, the prisoner, in his defence, assert e d th a t M rs . Wallis had said he should never want for any thing while she had it, and gave him the money in the coach just as they were passing the Surrey-road chapel. Mr. Alderman LUCAS—Very well. But now about the awkward circumstance of the contents of the box, and your not returning to the Feathers ? Prisoner.—ln truth I never intended to return; it was de ception ; but there was deception on both sides. As to the box, I can say nothing about that, certainly. Mr. Alderman LUCAS said, as the woman swore the money was taken against her will, and she never thought of parting with it until she saw the writings, he would commit the pri soner for trial for felony. LA UG ABLE CASE. UNION-HALL.-lesterday morning, amongst the nume rous drunk and disorderly charges front the various watch houses in the extensive district which the business of this office embraces, was one in particular that excited great laughter anti merriment, at the expence of a Mr. Jones ; a very respectable tradesman in his line, a tailor, whose name appeared at full length in the night constable's book of St.3aviottr's parish, and attached to it the charge of having been found drunk and dis orderly the preceding night in one of the streets of that palish. It appeared that the defendant had dined on board some vessel that had recently arrived from the West Indies, and having laid in a tolerable good cargo, in his own words, of the new rum, upon coming on shore he did not know whether he was standing upon his head or his heels; however, he managed to grope his way along Tooley-street until he got into High-street, where it appeared he tell down dead drunk at the entrance into one of the .large inns in that street. Having an excellent suit of black clothes on, a good silver watch with gold chain and seals in .his fob, together with plenty of money in his pockets, it would have been a miraculous circumstance, indeed, if in this great tho roughfare for thieves and prostitutes, anti at such an hour, that poor .Mr. Jones could have remained long in the position de scribed, without escaping the observation of those who prowl about for the purpose of robbing men circumstanced as Mr. Jones happened to be in consequence of drinking the new rum; Mr. Jones, unfortunately, was seen, and by those who' discovered him in this helpless state, was stripped of every ar ticle of dress, nay, even to the very shirt ; but providentially for him, the thieves by whom he had been divested of all, ex changed their garments for his, and so expertly was the thing done, that Mr. Jones-never kn e w w h a t h a d h a p pene d, unt il awakening about one o'clock in the morning, from his tiara.: freshing nap, and feeling a sensation about his shoulders as if he were in a vice, got up, shook himself, wiped the dew which had fallen thick and heavy during the night away from his face and neck, and proceeded to the next gas-lamp, in order to ascertain the cause oldie tightness of his clothes, as he was aware that he always gave himself plenty of cloth. The flare of the gas completely brought him to his senses ; for on looking at his person, he could scarcely believe it was himself, when he found upon his person, in place of his own superfine black, a common frize cloth coat, buttoned all the way up the neck that squeezed him almost to death, with the cuffs half way up the arm, and both his elbows out. On looking at the lower part of his person,. instead of seeing his own black cloth trowsers and Wellington boots, he found they had been ex changed fcr a pair of tight snuff coloured worsted pantaloons, that fitted him as close as wax, and high-low shoes, studded with nails. In this dress, Mr. Jones, who is a stout portly man, appeared before the Magistrate ; and during !/is stay in the office immoderate laughing was provoked, which did pit cease until his departure. It seemed that when Mr. Jones " came to himself," he went off to the watch-house anti pre claimed his loss, and even went so far as to charge the night constable with having assisted stripping hint of his Sunday clothes. The noise he caused brought a mob of persons about the watch-house, and the constable was under the necessity of locking him up, to keep bins out of further harm's way. L s answer to the Magistrate's questions, the defendant said that he had lost his watch and money, beeitlas his new suit, during hit intoxication.— The Ma. , isLraf.e Lied him five shillings for being drank, and advised him in future to retrain trout tasting too freely new 7UIII.
