LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 24, COURT OF EXCHEQUER. VAIJI V. BUTTZEFIELD.-BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, and the declaration set forth that the defendant had agreed to marry the plaintiff and now refused to do so. The defendant pleaded that he did not agree, and was so drunk at the time he made it that he did not know what he was doing. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. J. Browne re presented the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, in stating the case on b e half of the plaintiff. said he had not the honou r of know ingrd but the defendant who had put such a plea on the ec he would prove by witnesses who m he would call, that if that plea were proved the defendant must have been drunk for several years. His client was a young woman twenty-six year! of age, who had carried on the business of milliner at Bra df or d , Yorkshire, and the defendant was a maltster re siding in the same n eighbourhood. The defend. ant's father had died some time ago, and the defendant was n ow in possession of a considerable property, realising no less a sum than 600/. a year. In 1849 the plaintiff was barmaid at the Bishop Blaise Inn, in Bradford, where the defendant first became ac• quainted with her. The acquaintance ripened into in timacy owing to the fr e q uen t visits of the defendant, who was in the habit of visiting her two or three times weekly. He was unable to produce any affectionate letters, from the fact of the parties residing so close together and so often seeing each other, that the usual mode of courtship, that of correspondence, was fund unnecessary. Atter remaining five or six months at the inn, the plaintiff joined a friend in the millinery business, and in 1852 began business on her own ac count, and having taken apartments she was again con stantly visited by the defendant. She after this went to reside with her mother, where the defendant con tinued to visit her, and in short he debauched this young woman; the result was that she gave birth to a child en the 7th of May, 1854. The defendant, up to the time of her confinement, assured her that she should never be brought to disgrace on his account, and continued to promise her marriage. He eventually refused to perform his promise. The learned counsel felt it his duty to state that about six or seven years ago the plaintiff gave birth to a child, but since that time she had led a most proper life. If the defendant sought to avail himself of this circumstance, and - to plead it as an excuse for his heartless conduct, he added greatly to his atrocity. The plaintiff was now compelled to sec* in a court of law that compensation which the isjury she had sustained so justly entitled her te. Sarah Vaux—l am the mother of the plaintiff. She is 26 years of age. I have known the defendant five or six years. He is a gentleman and maltster at Apperly bridge, near Bradford. In 1849 my daughter was bar maid at the Bishop Blaise Inn, and while there she used to come home occasionally. I have seen the plaintiff and defendant frequently together at our house. They went out walking together very often. While she was at the inn he said several times he would marry her. After she left the inn, she was a dressmaker in Victoria street. She often used to come home, and the defen dant with her. She did not live there long. She lived at home for a short time, and then went to Longcroft, to lodge with an old gentleman, Mr. Shackleton. I saw the defendant with her there. After that she lived at home, worked at the - business, and was my main sup port. He continued to visit her till she was confined, in May last. Before May he said he would marry her before her confinement several times. Easter Tuesday was fixed ; he did net marry her, and gave no reason. He promised marriage twice after her confinement. He always called me mother. He said he had plenty of money. He is about 28. He always called her his wife. She had one child some years before, It died when it was a very little one. The father would have married her, but he died. The defendant knew all about it before he promised her. Cross-examined—My daughter knew the defendant in 1849. The Bishop Blaise was the first public-house she lived at. She lives} there two months as barmaid and chambermaid. Before she went to service at Dr. Roberts's, and had not been away from home before. I cannot say where she met the first young man. I did not know of it till she was confined. She went off to be confined two months before. The young man never let her want for anything. Ide not know that the defen dant ever stayed at my house the whole night. He has come at night-time. He was upstairs with the lads. My daughter and I slept down stairs. If the defendant and plaintiff went upstairs I used to call them down. They only went up their for nonsense. I don't know whether they have gone up in the evening or not. They used to go with a candle. I don't know that they have ever been there a quarter of au hour. The defendant sometimes came there tipsy. We used to set him down on a chair and let him sleep. We went to bed and took no notice of him. He never gave her money to my knowledge. I have heard her called Mrs. Vincent when she had her first boy, six or seven years ago. William Baraclough—l am a servan t of the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway Company. My mother kept the Bishop Blaise. The plaintiff lived there five or six months. The defendant was in the habit of coming there in 1849. I have seen them together several times in different rooms of the house. I thought he was pay ing his addresses to her. She conducted herself with propriety. I have teased him about it ; but he has ge nerally denied it. Cross-examined—My mother's house is a pretty large one ; about fourteen rooms. I have seen them in the out-kitchen, the bar, and drarnshop. She was sometimes scrubbing pots and pans when he was talking; with her. He used often to come there, and was as often drunk as sober. James Bolton=-I married the plaintiff's sister. I have often seen the plaintiff and defendant together at the Bishop Blaise. He has told me that he was paying his addressee to Harriett, and he supposed I was to her sister. About the time of the confinement I saw him. I then kept a public-house. He then said, "We shall be able to do a little business now ; we shall he all akin." I said, " Indeed ! I wag not aware of it." He said, " Yes ; lam going to marry Harriett. I think we've got everything settled now." Cross•exainined-- Sometimes he was half-and-half when I have bad conversations with him. He was tipsy three or four times a week, but is steadier now. Re-examined—He was what I call sober when I had that conversation with him. He had had a glass or two, but knew perfectly what he was about. Sarah Moore—l am the wife of a labourer, and know the plaintiff. She has always conducted herself with propriety. The defendant used to call her his wife, and said he was going to marry her. In March last they came to my house. She was plainly in the family-way. I asked him what he was going to do. He said, if she was iu the family-way they would be married before that month was out. He would not have her disgraced with having a child before she was married. I.le was quite sober. I have heard him say often that he was worth 20,0001., and that his cake was baked, and that of his children. Cross-examined—l bare often seen him tipsy. William Wadsworth—l live in Bradford. In May the plaintiff came to my house to be delivered of a child, six weeks before it was born. The defendant came to see her three times. One time he sent for her, and she and I went to one of his own houses. Another time he said to Mrs. Vaux, putting his arm round her waist, " Lord love ye, old mother, she and I'll be married." He has said, in the presence of Mr. B itty, that he would be married. Mr. Batty said, " Well, you can't do better." They were both sober. He said, " We'll be married by license ; " and Batty said, " Well, if you're short of money I'll lend you some." ' Cross-examined—l have heard bin say that he would marry twice when he was sober, and ODO 3 when he was tipsy. When the conversation took place with Batty, they had sent for a shilling's worth of gin, and were drinking it. At this point of the case a conversation took place be tween the learned counsel, and it was ultimately agreed that a verdict should be taken by consent for the plain tiff for 2001. Verdict for thb plaintiff—Dam:intro, 2001. WYCHE v. COTTON. Mr. Ecfirin : -..Tames, with Mr. Bovill, conducted the case for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Knowles, with Mr. Udall, represented the defendant. This was an action to recover the sum of 221. for damage inflicted on a carriage by means of a collision with a dogcart, which was driven at the time by the defendant himself, and through whose negligence it was alleged the accident had occurred. It appeared that the plaintiff is a jobmaster and livery stable keeper, carrying on his business in Swallow-street, Regent-street, and that on the 13th of September he let the carriage in question to a Mr. Rawlings, for the pur pose of taking a party of friends to Wanstead, in Essex. After having disposed of their repast the party set out on their return home soon after 7 o'clock in the evening, and it was as they were proceedi n g on this return jour ney that the collision took plac e. All went on well until shortly after they had passed the Eagle at Snares brook, at which house it was understood they pulled up and had some refreshments, when they were driven against by the defendant in his dogcart. The effect of this collision was that the carriage was much damaged, and the hinder wheel torn off. The defendant and his groom were thrown out of the dogcart, which by the violence of the concussion was thrown over. After the defendant had recovered himself sufficiently from the effects .of t h e fall, having picked up his groom and placed him against the palings, he went up to the car riage and expressed a hope' that no one was hurt, re marking, " Th at it was the d—d lamps in a vehicle which was following the carriage that had prevented his seeing the latte r ." The evidence in support of the plaintiff's case having been given, The jury consulted for a few minutes, and then re turned a verdict for the plaintiff— damage ' s, 131. COTJIZT OF QUEEN,-, BEN CH THE QUEEN V. THE JUDGE OF THE OUNTT COURT OF OXFORDSHIRE. County Mr. Cripps moved for a rule to show cause hibition should not issue to the judge the"y a pro- Court of Oxfordshire, to prohibit him from p rc hear an application for a new trial in the case of c ' e ' engt° I'. Smith.' The question turned on the construction the 141st rule of practice of the County Courts of Eng land,o- made under' the provisions of the 12th and 13th O Victoria, chap. 101. The rule provided th-tt. , cation for a new trial might be made and aet. on the day of hearing if both parties were present, or it -might be made at the next court held after the expiration of 12 clear days from the day of hearing, or elven seven clear days' notice before the holding of the court, and that the party intending- to make such *TPlioetion should give a written notice, stating the ~-~. .. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 18b4, grounds of the application , both to the clerk of the ceurt and to the party. The rule then provided that if such application should not be made on the day mentioned in the notice, no subsequent appli cation should be made without the leave of the judge, and on such terms as he should think fit. In the present case no notice had been given as required by the first part of the rule, but an application had been made for a new trial to the judge, who said he could not grant the application, but that he had the power, under the latter portion of,the rule, to give his leave to apply at the next court. The learned counsel contended that the judge had no such power. He could give leave to apply for a new trial only in the case where the requisite notices had been given, but where, for smile reason or another, the party had been unable to make it in due course. In the present case no notice whatever had been given, and therefore the judge was acting without jurisdiction. Lord Campbell said, the judge of a County Court, being the judge of an inferior court, had no jurisdiction to grant a new trial except in cases where an act of Par liament permitted him to do so. The learned counsel might take a rule.—Rule nisi granted. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) IN THE MATTER OF W. H. ORCHARD. This was a rule calling on W. H. Orchard, an attorney of this Court, to show cause why he should not be struck off the roll of attorneys. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Francis, showed cause. It appeared from the affidavits that Mr. Orchard, to gether with a person of the name of Cox, had been con victed of a conspiracy to defraud by means of a false affidavit of increase upon the taxation of costs in an action of A. Orchard v. Rackstraw, Mr. Orchard being the attorney for the plaintiff in that action. The affidavit which was prepared and sworn by Cox, who was the ar ticled clerk of Orchard, stated that certain witnesses in the cause of A. Orchard v. Rackstraw had been paid their expenses for attending the trial. This was alleged to be false, and hence the indictment,' which however had not been preferred for nearly three years after the alleged offence had been committed, Mr. Orchard's own brother being the prosecutor. The only part taken by Mr. Orchard in the matter appeared to be that, whilst at tending the taxation, he had stated, in answer to a ques tion of the attorney who appeared for the defendant, " That all the witnesses had been paid." Circumstances were about being entered into which, as it was con tended, exonerated Mr. Orchard from any criminal in tention, inasmuch as these circumstances had induced him, at the time he made the statement referred to, to believe in its truth, when Mr. Justice Crompton suggested that this was a case which might be better investigated before the Master. Mr. J. P. Wilde, who appeared for the Law Institution, was willing to adopt the course suggested. Mr. James stated that his client was anxious that the fullest investigation should be made into all the circum stances. The whole matter was accordingly referred to one of the Masters to report upon. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Geulburi.) IN RE L. BENJAMIN. The bankrupt was a jeweller of Princess-street, Lei cester-square. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn. ment in, order to ascertain the result of an action brought by the assignees against the trustees of pro perty held under an assignment by the bankrupt. Mr. Lewis resisted the application. His Honour said the case wets certainly not one in which the bankrupt could expect an immediate certi- ficate. He had begun his accounts 8001. worse than nothing. He now owed upwards of 2,0001. A short time before the bankruptcy he had assigned over all his effects, and there was now nothing for the creditors. Under such circumstances there would be an adjourn. ment for three months. (Before Mr. Gmmissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE RAFFAELE MONTI. The bankrupt was a sculptor of Great Marlborough. street, and is well known from his numerous casts in the Crystal Palace. From a preliminary statement of hi- affairs by Messrs. Paul and Turner, the accountants, his debts would appear to amount to 15,866/. The assets chiefly consist of a sum of 5,043/., the balance of an account of 18,693(. with the Crystal Palace Company. There are works of art held by creditors as security valued at 1,7931. A sum of 6,0001. will, it is esti mated, be required to finish certain contracts with the Crystal Palace Company. These contracts include 38 fountains to cascades, consisting of boys carrying tazzas, to be executed in Garland's plaster, for 3,9001. The works completed include river fountains, and ocean fountains, and statues for fountains, in the terrace•gar dens ; of " Hope, " Joy," " Friendship," Love," " Modesty," " Valour, " Vigilance," and " Prudence." Debts to the amount of about 5,0001. were proved, and Mr. George Thomas Ellis, builder, and Mr. Montagu Hunt, of Whitehall-place, were chose' assignees. The bankrupt attributes his failure to his having undertaken contracts at a figure at which he is now unable to carry them out, owing to the advanced prices of labour and materials. Also, to the partial failure of the process by which he sought to produce the galvano-plastic casts. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. REGISTRATION APPEALS.-THE PUTNEY OASR.-AFITRUITY, APPELLANT, V. HENDERSON, RESPONDENT. •It will be remembered that this was an appeal from a Revising Barrister, by the holder of two allotments ob tained from a freehold land society, which, let on a building lease, would be worth 151. a year, but which if let from year to year, and used for any other purpose than building, would not be worth 40s. a year. The barrister held that this was not a sufficient quaiiflcatioa under the statute of Henry VI., and refused to allow the vote. The case was partly heard yesterday, and the hearing was resumed this morning. Mr. Sergeant lits les, on the part of the appellant, re plied, and he contended that the finding in the case, that the land would be worth 151. a year only upon a lease being granted, could not affect the appellant, by reduc ing his interest in the estate, for it was laid down in Sugden's " Law of Vendors and Purchasers," that the expense of preparing a lease, in the absence of any ex press agreement, would fall upon the grantee ; and taking that into consideration, with the statement in the case, that the land let on building lease would be worth 151. a year, it was clear that the appellant had a free hold interest worth more than 40s. a year. As to the class of cases which had been referred to as analogous, the cases of poor-law assessment, the court had decided in the case of "Covill v. Wood" (2 C. 8., 216), that the principle of those cases ought not to be applied to regis tration appeals. If a man had an estate of 40s. a year, on which there was a charge of 205., the poor-law as sessment would be upon the 405., though it was clear that the owner would not have a vote. The Chief Justice said it seemed to him that this was a good vote, and that the vote must be allowed. It was not necessary to lay down a rule of law as to speculative, or fraudulent value for the purpose of getting votes, for in this case there was abundant evidence that this plot of land was worth 40s. a year, and nothing but the un wiliingness or obstinacy of the appellant could prevent his getting 40s. a year for_it. He had given 1501. for it, and that amount in the ordinary way would produce more than 40s. a year, but beyond that he could let it for 151. a year if he thought fit ; and it was simply because it was not worth 40s. a year as agricultural land, that the revising barrister had held that it was not worth 403. a year, and had refused to allow the vote. The question was, what Jwould the land fetch in the market, for a thing was generally worth what it would fetch ; [and the barrister said that the land would fetch 151. a year on lease. It had occurred to him at the moment, that it might make a difference that the value couki only be ob tained upon something being dose by the landlord to entitle the tenant to build on the estate, but on consi deration, it appeared that every value depended upon something to be done by the landlord ; there must be a letting by leases or verbal agreement, in every case. The price of the land, the offer for it, and the statement that it was worth for building purposes 151. a year, all showed that it was worth mere than 40s. a year; and the rev/slag barrister ought therefore to have granted. the vote under the statute of Henry VI. Mr. Justice Maule thought it was clear that the ap pellant had a vote, as having a freehold from which he might expend 140 s. a year if he liked. He had paid 1501. for it, and it appeared that he might let it fos' Ig., and without anything to qua lify th ese f ac t s , i t could not be doubted that the land was worth 40s. a year. If it was necessary that 'the land should at pre sent produce 40s. a year in order to give a vote, then a man with an estate of 10,0001. a year might possibly be deprived of his vote. The revising barrister seemed t• have thought that if the appellant had had power to let to a tenant from year to year at 40 , . that would have conferred a vote, or even if l e t f or 21 years on an occupation leas e , b u t he thought that as the requi- . site amount could only be obtained by granting a build ing lease that that would not do. But why not ? Build ing, of course, would not take place without getting a tenant willing to build, but in every tenantcy there must be a compact of some kind or other, and there was no reason for depriving the appellant of the right of suffrage, his property being clearly sufficient to give it him. The appeals were therefore allowed in this case and in the sixteen others consolidated with it. , lIIG4IETT V. LEWIS. This was an appeal from the decision of the rev' • barrister for Westminster.. Mr. Whitmore appeared for the appellant ; and Mr. M'Namara for the respondent. The only point in the case was whether the notice •f objection sufficiently pointed out in which list of voters a voter objected to, named Alford, was. In borough registrations the overseers are required an nually to make out a list of persons supposed to be qualified to vote, and if there be more than one list of voters a notice of objection should specify to which list , it referred. Two lists are made out, one of those entitled to vote under the old franchise, and the other of those to whom the franchise is given by the Reform Act. The notice of objection objected to the voter's right to vote " under the Reform Act." The Court thought the notice good. All that was re• *site was to describe the list, and by saying " under the Reform Act " the list was sufficiently described. The voter's name must therefore be expunged. PREROGATIVE COURT. (Before Sir John Dodson.) ELWELL V. SMITH. This was a business of granting administration, with will annexed, to the goods of Mrs. Ann Elwell, late of the;diverpool•road, and was promoted by 'a brother of the tleoeased against Mrs. Smith, a legatee named in the will. Opposition was now drawn, and - The Court now prononneed f orte will. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130 W-STREET.—Mr. Morbey, the landlord of the Rising Sun (the house in which 114 persons were lately apprehended by the police), waited upon Mr. Jardine to inform him that ho was at Lowestoft at the time, and, not having the slightest knowledge of what was going on at his house, or of the intentions of the police, it was clear that he had not designedly kept out of the way. He bad been complimented by the colleagues of his wor ship upon the manner in which he had conducted his house, and he was most anxious to keep within the law, although he was not aware that persons betting among themselves, while using his house, was illegal. He begged also to repudiate all knowledge of, or concurrence with, the scurrilous attack on his worship in a paper called the Racing Times, and to assure his worship that he should not have risked the loss of his license (which would be the rain of him), to sayjnothing of the expenses in which he had been involved, by pursuing any course opposed to his worship's views of the law. He was fined 101. on a former occasion for betting himself, since which time he had never made a bet with any one, and to this extent only he thought be- was limited by the act. Mr. Jardine said, he had nothing to do with the ini tiative in these matters. He was asked to interpret the meaning of these Betting Acts, and he did so to the best of his ability. His decision bad been appealed against, and he was not sorry for it, as it might assist in bringing about a clearer understanding upon a subject of consi derable importance. As to the print reterred to, be should not have been conscious of the existence of such a paper if some one—most likely the person who wrote the article in question—had not taken the troutle to send him a copy of it. He (Mr. Morbey) need not dis tress his mind about that part of the matter. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER. We have nothing of importance to record since Tues day. The rooms being nearly deserted on Wednesday and Thursday by the subscribers to attend the Hoylake Meeting, and was but thinly attended to-day. 50 to 1 was currently offered against anything for the Chester Cup, and there were offers to take 20 to 1 about Dam son's Lot ; 40 to 1 was taken to win a few hundreds about Frederick for the Derby, the same, figure being wanted about Polydere ' against whom 1,000 to 30 was the highest offer. Any advance upon 20 to 1 would have been taken about Cruiser, but so little was dote that we deem a list of quotations unnecessary. WOLVERHAMPTON AUTUMN RACES. TUBSDAY, Dxe. 5.

[ A DVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway'■ Ointment and Pills effectually Cured a dreadfully Sure Hand.—Mrs. Lyon, of 35, Whitecross-place, Wilson -street, Finsbury-square, suffered fearfully from an abscess in the hand, which for some months was rendered perfectly useless. She bad the best advice of medical men in the neighbourhood, and underwent various operations of lancet without ob taining relief. After this she tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in a brief space of time effected an ex cellent cure, and she now bas the free use of her band, showing in this case, as well as in many thousand ethers, that these invaluable medicines are pre-eminent. Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Professor Holloway's Establishments, 244 4 Strand, London, and 80, Maiden lane, New York, LONDON CHARTERED BANK OF AUSTRALIA. At a meeting of the London Chartered Bank of Aus tralia, held to-day, Mr. 1). Dunbar presiding, a dividend of 3 per cent., free of ir come-tax, for the half-year end ing the 30th of June, was unanimously carried. The chairman stated that it was not the practice to exhibit accounts on the present occasion, the ordinary period being in June, when they would be brought forward properly audited, but that an abstract of profit and less had been prepared, with the view of satisfying the shareholders that the rate of distribution proposed is warranted by the position of the bank. The advices from the colony are satisfactory, and, with the exercise of due caution, business is making progress. After pay ment of this dividend and the transfer of 10 per cent. to the reserve fund, a balance of 7,0001., or nearly 14 per cent., will remain to the credit of the current half year. In illustration of the increase of operations, it was mentioned that the circulation, which, on the 31st of December, 1853, was 125,0001., had, on the 30th of June, increased to 279,0001. ; that the de posits, from 230,7941., had increased to 291,0001. ; and that the discounts, from 386,4531., had increased to 816,0001. The dividend having been agreed to, the question of an increase of capital was taken into con sideration. On behalf of the directors it was intimated that the augmented transactions of the bank require at least 200,0001., which is proposed to be raised in 10,000 shares of 201. each, the board promising to use circum spection in calling up the amount after the payment of the first Si. per share in January next. Under the charter the capital can be increased to 1,000,0001., but the directors state they are not desirous of carrying it at present beyond 700,0001., so that the proprietors may receive the full benefit of the profits. There are three establishments to support in Australia—one in Sydney, one in Melbourne, and one in Geelong ' • and, as the co lonial officers report that these cannot be adequately re presented by less than 450,000/., it is felt that 50,0001. is too little for the parent establishment in London. The great majority concurred in these views, but one proprietor suggested that no hurried steps should be taken in this direction, especially since it would be ne cessary, in the existing condition of Australian affairs, not to encourage an extension, but rather a contraction of banking facilities. It having been explained, bow ever, that the London Chartered Bank of Australia being in comparative infancy, and having to sustain itself against the active rivalry of the oatablished Australian banks, may require the amount to increase the confi dence of its customers and the public, the resolution was forthwith unanimously adopted. At the close of the proceedings, Mr. C. G. Barnett, of the firm of Barnett, Hoare, and Co., was elected a director ; and, in answer to a question, it was announced that, although the board under the deed are entitled to receive 3,0001. as remu neration, they have accepted only 1,8001. The following is the abstract of the profit and loss account at 3.th of June, 1854 : To proportion of preliminary expenses for half-year ending 30th of June last £1,403 911 Amount carried to reserve fund 1,600 0 0 Dividend of 3 per cent. on paid-up-capital for half-year ending 30th of June (free of income-tax) Balanse to next half-year 6,977 11 9 £24,881 1 8 By balance at 31st of December, 1853, per last Report Balance of profit and less at London office and branches at 30th of June last .... £24,881 1 8 ............ £6,97711 9 WAR-OFFICE, Nov. 24. sth Regiment of Dragoon Guards—Major Thomas West ropp McMahon, from halt-pay unattached, to be Major, vice Brevet-Lieutenant-Collnel Le Merchant, who ex changes, receiving the difference between cavalry and in fantry only, Nov. 24.
