THE QUEEN Y. HOORWAY. Mr. ATHERTON applied for leave to exhibit articles of the peace against John Hookway. The Learned Counsel stated that the exhibitant in this case was Charles Arthur Pulley, an attorney, who was engaged in some legal proceedings on behalf of a woman named George, the sister-in-law of the defendant. On the 25th of October last the exhibitant at tended at the house of the defendant for the purpose of serving him with a copy of a writ of summons, and also with a declaration of ejectment, with a view to the recovery of some lands claimed by Mrs. George. Exhibitant ex plained the nature of the proceedings, and on hearing them he called to his wife to bring him his gun, as he would shoot him. He then entered the house and came out again with a blind roller, with which he aimed a blow at the head of the exhibitant, and bruised his hand, and destroyed the papers he held. He made repeated blows at the exhibitant, saying, " I will kill you, by G—d." The exhibitant got away, and proceeded to a magistrate named Patterson, who issued a warrant, on which the defendant was apprehended. He was fined 20s. and costs, or fourteen days' imprisonment. He paid the money, and then followed the exhibitant for half a mile along a lonely road, using the most violent threats and the most obscene language, until he was taken into custody by a policeman. The exhibitant was in bodily fear of the de fendant, as he was of ungovernable temper, and did not con sider his life safe. The application was granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 18. (Sittings in Banco.) EMERY v. RICHARDsON. This was an action of debt for money had and received, which the defendant contested, and the case was tried before the Sheriff of Middlesex, and a verdict returned fot the plain tiff. Mr. Gill subsequently obtained a rule nisi to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground of mis direction. The action arose out of a disputed bet, which the plaintiff deposited with the defendant, but afterwards brought the present action to recover back the amount, on the ground that the bet had been illegally made. Mr. MARTIN, Q C., now appeared to show cause against the rule nisi, and remarked that the question which had to be decided upon the trial was whether a bet of 10s. upon a foot race of 5/. aside was a legal or an illegal contract. Mr. GILL--No; the question was whether a party deposit ing money in the hands of a stakeholder could recover the money back in a certain event. Mr. MARTIN concurred in the view of his Learned Friend. The action was brought to recover 10s., which had been de posited with Richardson; and by a recent deci sion of the Court upon this point, the plaintiff had a right to recover before the event transpired which was to determine the bet, on the ground that it was illegal. In this case, however, the defendant refused to refund the money, and one of the parties having walked over the course for the race the money was paid to him. Now, he con tended that the bet was illegal, and therefore the defendant had rendered himself liable to the action in not refunding the money when it was demanded of him. The first statutes relating to gaming were the 16th of Charles 11. and the 7th of Anne, chap. 11 ; the 3d section of the first Act invalidated all bills of exchange, and bets above 100 1 ., where the consideration depended upon the result of any game, horse, or foot-race ; and the 2d section rendered illegal all bets which had been won by fraud or collu sion. The statute of Anne reduced the amount from 100/. "to 101., rendered all debts upon tic or credit illegal, and declared certain races and games fraudu lent, giving power to parties depositing money with stake holders, as bets upon such games or races, to demand and recover back the same, provided the demand was made within three months of the deposit, or before the race came off. He did not, however, contend that the race in the present instance was illegal ; but he relied upon the case of Applehard v. Colley, registered in 10 Meeson and Wailsby, which was a decision upon the statute he had mentioned last, and which confirmed the Ist section of the 7th of Anne, chap. 11, declaring all bets and wagers, the considera tion for which depended upon gaming, horse or foot-racing, to be null and void. He might remind their Lordships that the Legislature in the past session had been guided by this decision while dealing with and amending the law of gaming. Mr. GILL relied too upon the case of Applehard v. Colley, and directed their Lordships' attention to the fact that, by the statute of Anne, bets and wagers under 101. were legal. But his Learned Friend said the decision in Applehard r. Colley made all wagers and bets illegal ; but if their Lordships would look to tke closing of the judgment, they would find that it was all wagers and bets upon credit that were illegal. Here, how ever, there was no credit; the stakes had been deposited on the spot, so had the bet, and he submitted, therefore, that the rule ought to be made absolute. The LORD CHIEF BARON agreed with the Learned Coun sel for the defendant, that this was not a bet upon credit, for it was admitted that both the bet and the stakes had been paid down. Upon looking at the statute, it was clear that the Legislature wished to put an end to betting upon tic or credit, but not to betting under 101., where the stake and the bet were deposited in the hand of some stakeholder on the spot. In his opinion the rule ought to be made absolute. Mr. Baron PARKE was clearly of opinion that there ought to be a new trial ; and he apprehended the case of Apple hard v. Colley justified such a step, for the decision in that case acknowledged the validity of bets and wagers under 104, where the money was produced and deposited in the hands of a stakeholder on the spot. Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Baron RoLFE concurred in this opinion, and the Court ordered the rule to be made absolute. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. _ MANSION-HOUSE. rte, LoNbo Mr. James Smithers, inspector of letter carriers, said, that 1 in consequence of what he heard from the last witness, he watched the prisoner into the water-closet. Witness then got on a step, by which he was enabled to see that the pri soner had a letter in his band, and haviifg asked him what he was doing with it, he said " nothing.' He then came out of the apartment, and the letter turned out to be di rected to the " Secretary of the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth Railway Company, 449, Strand," upon which a con stable was sent for, to whom he was given in charge. After the other carriers had gone away, the prisoner sent for wit ness, and told him that he did not intend to do anything with the letter he held in his hand, but it was a mis-sorted one which he happened to have about him. The letter was torn near the seal when taken from the prisoner, and as it was not in his delivery, he should not have had it in his pos session. It appeared to contain coin with the stamp of eight o'clock on Monday evening, the time at which it should have been sent out. _ _ _ Mr. George Willis, a clerk in the railway-office, having opened the letter, found that it contained the transfer deeds of conveyance for ten shares, with a half sovereign on ac count as fees. _ The prisoner said that when any letters were mis-sorted, it was customary to take them back to the sorters, and that was his intention when the letter was taken from his hand, which had not been broken open ; besides, what was seen in his hand when he left the office was not a letter, but a bit of waste paper. lie was ordered to be remanded. Francis Cope, another letter-carrier, was next charged with stealing three letters. Matthew Peake, a constable employed in the General Post office, stated that on Monday night, abcut seven o'clock, he went to the Paddington branch-office, where he met the pri soner, and having searched him, he found a small tobacco box, containing secret springs, which he desired him to open, at the same time asking him what was inside, upon which he replied " two letters," and having set the hands of the springs, it was opened, and contained a letter torn into pieces. Witness then proceeded with him to search his lodgings, No. 8, St. John's Wood-terrace, and having asked him on the way what letters were in the tobacco-box, he replied that one contained a sovereign, and the other, which was only addressed to .a servant girl, nothing. He was then asked if the sovereign found upon him was inclosed in the letter, and he said " yes." On searching the tobacco-box at the sta tion, a letter was found addressed " Jane Stagg, St. John's Wood-terrace, Regent's Park, 75 ;" and also the fragments of a letter, addressed " Mr. Bastin, at Mrs. Harris's, No. 2, Wellington-place, St. John's Wood-road, near the chapel, London." Mr. Cole, after corroborating the evidence of the last wit ness, said that the letter addressed to Jane Stagg bore the London stamp of the 11th, five o'clock in the evening, and the other the 17th, which would in the course of business, be forwarded to the chief office at ten o'clock in the morning. George Harper, principal change taker at Paddington branch-office, said that the prisoner had been an auxiliary about twelve months. The letter addressed to the female Stagg would have arrived at the branch office about twenty minutes past seven o'clock in the evening of the 11th, and the other about ten o'clock in the morning. The prisoner assisted in sorting letters on Monday, and the last letter which was not in his delivery might have come into his pos session through mis-sorting ; but in that-case it was his duty to have brought it back to the office, and have the words " taken out by mistake," written upon it. Mr. Bastin proved that the letter produced was addressed to him by his sister, Mrs. Matilda Kemp, of Wood Hill, near Grantham, and contained a sovereign. Eliza Vale said that she wrote the other letter to Jane Stagg, containing a piece of paper with directions from her mistress upon it. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was ordered to be remanded. The prisoner was again charged with stealing another letter containing money. It appeared from the evidence, that a letter containing a marked sovereign, a shilling and a sixpence, was addressed by Mr. Walter Culthrope, a president of the General Post office, to a Miss M'Kensie, of St. John's Wood, and although another letter was delivered on the same evening by the prisoner at the same house, nothing was heard of the letter in question. the contents of which were found upon his per son. He was again ordered to be remanded upon this charge. THE ALBERT ELASTIC STOCK.— Thomas Smith, of No. 4, King William-street, Strand, appeared on a summons, to show cause why he was in possession of a quantity of elastic stocks, the property of Mr. Edward Joseph Weston, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Wontner appeared to prefer the complaint, and Mr. Gale for the defence. The case occupied the Court many hours, and it appeared from the testimony of several witnesses that the complainant, who had purchased the patent of the articles in question from Messrs. Hughes, of Holborn, observed, on passing through Duncannon-street, Strand, some elastic stocks in a window, and as they resembled his own manufacture, he sent a friend to make a purchase, and on opening the article, having found that it not only corresponded in every particu lar with his patent, but that the materials were composed of his property, be applied to this Court for a search warrant, which was granted, and the man in attendance in the shop was given in charge. The name of Thomas and Co. WWI over the door, and it being ascertained that the concern be longed to the defendant, who kept an ale store in George street, Adelphi, and was also an advertising agent for news papers, a summons was issued for his appearance. The com plainant had a lad named Pierce in his shop in the Strand up to the month of May last ; but was obliged to part with him in consequence of a large deficiency in the stock ; and his mother also managed another establishment for the com• plainant in Holborn ; with both of whom the defendant was on the most intimate terms, and after the discharge of the youth, had been known to have frequently visited the mother at the house in Holborn, who was also discharged for malpractices. On the part of the defendant it was proved, that the de fendant employed a person in Brownlow street, Drury-lane, to manufacture the goods, amounting to about fourteen dozens of springs for stocks, produced, which being stripped of the satin, turned out to be correct, with the exception of one, the pattern of which was furnished by another person not connected with the complainant ; but the other materials, such as lining, India rubber, &c., were identified by the com plainant as his property. Mr. JARDINE Said that the case was the first which came under his notice under the particular clause in the Police Act, and, therefore, he considered it necessary to pay the greater attention to it. The defendant must have known he was possessing himself from time to time of stolen property. Had the case, which was of a very grave nature, been investigated by him on a former occasion, it might have been sent to another Court, but he would prefer dealing with it in a sum mary manner by sending the defendant to hard labour for six weeks, and the goods to be delivered up to the complainant. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A RICH BEGGAR.—An aged countryman, in a smock frock, was seen by Bostock, one of the Mendicity Society's officers, to beg of various persons in Oxford-street, on Monday after noon. His venerable appearance and seeming poverty attracted general sympathy, and he had alms bestowed on him by charitable passers-by, whose condition appeared to be but a shade better than his own. Bostock took the old man into custody, brought him to this Court, and, according to the usual practice, proceeded to search him, to ascertain if he had any property about him. The old man suddenly shook off the infirmities of age, and made such a vigorous resist ance, that it took the united strength of six persons to over power him. He was at last subdued, and the search com menced. In a pocket in the smock frock the officers found two pounds in copper money. In a pocket in his clothes they found between two and three pounds in silver money, and in his wallet, which formed a sort of capacious trousers pocket, they found concealed among potatoes, bacon, bread, and provi sions sufficient for three or four persons, a small bag which contained sixty-four sovereigns and half sovereigns. The amount of money found on the old impostor ex ceeded 691. The defendant gave the name of Jesse Grover, and stated that he was a native of Hemel Hempstead. He said the money was his own, he had saved it out of the wages of his labour, and he declared that he had never begged a penny from any body. Mr. MALTBY sent the defendant to prison for a month, as a rogue and vagabond, and directed that a portion of the money found on him should be applied to cover the expenses of his maintenance in prison. QUEEN-SQUARE. UNPROVOKED MURDEROUS ASSAULTS —Thomas Howard, a powerful fellow, was charged before Mr. Bond with a suc cession of assaults of the most desperate character. There were no less than four distinct charges of feloniously assaulting and wounding clearly proved against the accused, independently of another in which the injured man could not be found. Henry Tyne, a labourer, stated that on the evening of the 21st of last July, he went in company with three other men into the Colville Arms, King's-road, Chelsea, where he saw the prisoner, who on his entering the room immediately asked him if he would fight, and on his refusal declared he would knock him down. Prisoner then advanced towards him and struck him on the head with his hand, and then, seizing a quart pot from the table, threw the beer it con tained away, and gave him a violent blow on the bead with the pot, which felled him to the ground, and whilst in that defenceless condition the prisoner kicked him desperately in the eye. The blow the prisoner inflicted with the pot cut his head open, and it was found necessary to take him im mediately to the hospital. James Foreman, another labourer, after confirming the account given by the last witness, said that on going to his assistance when on the ground, prisoner gave him, without the least provocation, a desperate blow on the head with a quart pot, which knocked him down. He got up and de fended himself as well as he could, until he became senseless from the loss of blood. The wound in his head was five inches long, and he also received a very severe injury in the back. He was taken to the hospital, where he remained ten weeks, and never expected that he should get up again. Witness, on concluding his statement. said, •' I was so injured, that I shall never be the man I was before." Jesse Taylor said that on seeing Tyne on the ground, and the prisoner kicking him in the head, he went to pick him up, when the accused knocked him down with the quart pot, and kicked him with such fearful violence as to dislocate his shoulder. Witness on partially recovering was about to leave the place, when the prisoner rushed into the coon with an axe in his hand, which was fortunately taken from him by a man who stood by his side. Benjamin Goodal said he was in the street advancing to wards the house, when the prisoner struck him a violent blow with his fist, which knocked him down. He then threw two large flint stones at him, which cut his head open, and he was also conveyed to the hospital, where he remained for a montb, and was afterwards an out-patient for five weeks. He never spoke to the prisoner before he struck him. James Cobbetts, foreman over the men emploped in making a sewer in the King's-road, proved the dreadful condi tion in which he found the victims of prisoner's brutality. On hearing that some of his men had been treated with great violence, he went into the Colville Arms, and found three of them on the floor, weltering in their blood. He immediately put them in a cart, and had them driven to the hospital. In the course'of a long, rambling story, prisoner said that Tyne wanted to fight, and lifted his hand as though he would strike, when he (prisoner) gave him a blow with his hand, and after that he took his part as well as he could. . . Mr. BOND committed him for trial on the whole of the above charges at the Central Criminal Court. WORSHIP-STREET. James Harrison and William Edwards, alias Setter, were brought up for final examination, on suspicion of having been concerned in breaking into and robbing the house of Mr. Roper, one of the parochial guardians of Hackney; and in several other burglaries committed in the same neighbour hood. Two other men, who gave their names Samuel Trindle and John setter, were now placed at the bar with thou, before Mr. Greenwood. The two first-mentioned prisoners were apprehended on the morning after the burglary, at Mr. Roper's, by Inspector Cooper, who found upon them several pieces of wax taper, one of which appeared to be the counterpart of a piece left by the robbers at Mr. Roper's. Upon one of them also was found a piece of prepared liver, calculated to entice and silence watch-dogs, and a similar piece had been found upon Mr. Roper's premises. A fresh charge was now stated of a burglary committed at the house of Mr. Sewell, Dalston-rise, early in the morning i after the burglary at Mr. Roper's, and a few hours only be-. fore the two first-named prisoners were taken into custody. James 511uulers, gardener, iz the peryice of Ir, gimp, gi)VESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1845 whose house is within a quarter of a mile of Mr. Roper's, said the family were out of town, and the house was broken into about half-past two last Friday morning. While in bed, he heard a noise in the next room to him, and he got up, and went out to ascertain the cause of it, when a man fuelled past him and ran down stairs ; after which, a second man came behind him and knocked him over the banisters, and then escaped also. The first one, who was in appearance like the prisoner Edwards, dropped a basket full of plate. The other was a tall man like Harrison, but there was not light enough form him to distinguish the features of either of them. The thieves had entered through the coal-hole. There was a dog upon the premises which commonly barked and made an alarm at the slightest noise, but was not heard at all that night, and next day it seemed to be stuffed up and stupified as if swelled up with something that it had eaten. Policeman 77 N said he saw the prisoner Trindle near Mr. Sewell's house, and apparently taking particular notice of it, about half-past ten o'clock on Thursday night. Circumstances of suspicion were stated against all the pri soners, who are well known. Trindle was at the bar of this Court not long since charged with stealing two valuable dogs belonging to a country farmer. He has a remarkable voice, and it having transpired that the voice was the principal means of identifying the real dog-stealer, the ,prisoner was desired by his legal adviser (Mr. Robinson) not to say a word during the examination. " No, I wont," said the prisoner, and the farmer no sooner heard that spoken, than he ex claimed, " I swear that is the man," and the result was that the prisoner was summarily convicted. Inspector Cooper produced a handsome mourning-ring which he had found in the pocket of Harrison, " In memory of Frederick Jago, who died in 1839," but he had not dis covered any claimant for it. Mr. GIME:MOOD finding that there was no evidence against the prisoners as to the burglaries in question, dis charged them all. CLERKEN WELL. BURGLARY IN A WORKIIOUSE.—Eight female paupers were finally examined, charged with a burglary in St. Pancras workhouse. The particulars have already been detailed. The prisoners, it will be recollected, broke through the oakum•room, where they slept, into the pauper school-room, which they rifled, and on the robbery being discovered, the property was found concealed in the beds of the prisoners. Five of them Vere committed for trial, and the others dis charged for the want of sufficient evidence. ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—John Peters, a powerful man, was charged with having violently assaulted policemen 339 and 432 N, whilst in the execution of their duty, by which the former officer was severely injured. The prisoner was committed to prison (without fine) for one month, with hard labour. SO U 7 HWARK. that the offence was a first one; that the defendant's house waa but three doors from the field where the fair and races were held; and that the defendant committed the offence in ignorance of the law, was strongly urged by Mr. Evans, Mr, JEREMY fined the defendant in the mitigated penalty of 5/, CHARGE O THE F MURDER ON BOARD SHIP TORY. EXAMINATION OF CAPTAIN JOHNSTONE. Yesterday, George Johnstone, late master of the ship Tory, from Hong-Kong, was brought before Mr. Broderip, at the Thames Police-court, charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Reason, a seaman, on the high seas, within the juris diction of the Admiralty of England. The prisoner is rather above the middle size, thirty. five years of age, of florid complexion, and rather sunburnt. He is a man of reckless appearance and manners, and seemed to treat the serious charge against him with indifference. Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hum phries, of Newgate-street, attended for the prisoner, who was apprehended on Monday evening by Inspector Evans, of the Thames police, and lodged in. the station-house of the Thames division. A bed was made up for him in the lock up, and two men sat up with him. He passed a very restless night, and frequently groaned aloud. On the charge being made known to him, he denied that he had been guilty of murder. Soon afterwards he had an interview with his wife, and gave utterance to a wish that he was dead. He is a native of Scotland, and is very respectably connected. It will be recollected that sixteen of the crew were charged by Captain Johnstone with mutiny on Wednesday last, and they stand remanded until this day. When Mr. Clarkson, counsel for the prosecution, first mentioned the case to the magistrate, he said that three men had been killed on board ' —Rambert and Mars, the first and second mates, and an able seaman, named Reason. The Learned Counsel intimated that Reason had been poisoned. Singularly enough, the cap tain, in his long and very unconnected narrative, alluded to the deaths of Rambert and Mars, but he never alluded to Reason, except that he had put him in irons, with two others, when the ship was near the Island of Ascension, and subsequently released him. Some of the prisoners, in de scribing the appalling scenes of bloodshed on board, and the savageness of the captain after passing the Island of Ascen sion, said that Reason was one of those who had fallen a vic tim to the ferocity of the captain, and that he cut him in a brutal manner with a sword about the head and body. Their statement was partially confirmed by Sinclair, the carpenter, a witness for the prosecution, who said he had seen the cap tain strike Reason several times with a sword in various parts of the body, but he could not say whether he inflicted more than one wound. The evidence given yesterday will be seen to throw additional light on the transaction. On the prisoner being placed in the felon's dock, the most lively interest was manifested by the people in the Court, which was crowded to excess. It was expected that the pri soner would be arraigned for three murders, but in the charge as entered in the police-sheet he stood accused of the wilful murder of Thomas Reason only. Mr. Humphries said he had been retained by some friends of the prisoner to defend him, a fact of which he was probably not aware, for he had not yet communicated with him. James Flower, a sailor boy, was then sworn. He is one of the apprentices of the ship, and said he recollected the death of Reason, but he did not know the date. The de ceased expired one night in the cabin. Before he went into the cabin, he heard Reason say, " Spare me, captain, spare me." Mr. BRODERIP—Did he say anything else? Witness — Nothing else. Mr. BRODERIP, observing some timidity in the boy, ad dressed him, and said, this scene was no doubt new to him, but he had no occasion to be under any apprehension what ever. He was to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, whether it made for or against the prisoner. He exhorted him to attend to the questions put to him, to conceal nothing, and not to be alarmed. The boy continued—l went into the cabin shortly after Reason said " Spare me, captain." I saw Reason, who ap peared to be in a dying state. I saw the captain examining a wound in his left breast. I saw the blood flowing from the wound. Thelcaptain had a bayonet in his hand. There were two other wounds, one on his temple, the other on his forehead; they were fresh wounds, and bleeding profusely. Reason died about tett minutes after that. I was present when he expired. Mr. BRODERIP—Are you quite sure you heard Reason say " Spare me, captain ?" Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. RRODERIP—Did he say anything in the cabin ? Wit ness—l don't recollect hearing Reason say anything in the cabin. Mr. BnonEutr—Did prisoner sayanything about anylint? Witness—Yes, he asked me for some lint? Mr. BaonEntr—What did you say in return? Witness — I told him it was all used. Mr. BRODERIP—And was it all used? Witness—Yes, it was, sir. Mr. BRODERIP asked Inspector Evans, who conducted the case, if he had any further evidence to lay before the Court? Inspector Evans—Not at present, sir. Mr. BuoDEmp—Will you be prepared to lay any further evidence before me? Inspector Evans—Yes, sir, a good deal of evidence. Mr. BRODERIP said, before he remanded the prisoner, it was his duty to ask him if he had anything to say ; and cau tioned him in the usual manner, that what he did say would be written down, and might be used in evidence against him hereafter. Mr. Humphries spoke to the prisoner, and said that under his advice he would not say anything. Mr. BRODERIP—Then it is my duty to remand the prisoner on this charge of wilful murder till to-morrow, Mr. Humphries asked the magistrate to name the time. Mr. BRODERIP said, the charge of alleged piracy against the seamen belonging to the Tory was remanded till Wed nesday (this day), and the hour fixed upon was twelve o'clock, at which time Mr. Clarkson was likely to be present, but he could not promise the case should be taken at twelve. It depended entirely on the number and duration of the night charges. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. We understand that no further evidence will be adduced against the seamen charged with mutiny, who stand re manded till this day, in which case they will be forthwith liberated, and sworn as witnesses on the part of the Crown, to sustain various charges of murder against Capt. Johnstone. Mr. BRODERIP said he had received a letter from the father of William Beresford, one of' the prisoners, whom he re manded last Wednesday on a charge of piracy on board the Tory. The father of the prisoner did not know where his son was confined, and had inclosed the letter for his son in another directed to him (the Magistrate), with a request that it should be forwarded to him. He handed the letter to the sergeant of the police van, and ordered him to deliver the letter to Beresford, in the Westminster Bridewell, to which place Captain Johnstone was remanded. It was erroneously stated in a morning paper of Thursday last, that the lad Barry Yelverton, one of the prisoners charged with mutiny on board the Tory, was " the grandson of the celebrated Lord Avonmore." A gentleman metca to indred either the Thames Police-court yesterdgy, and stated hhe youth was not related to the AvenmoiC family. He is a Lancashire lad, and never pretended to claim with the present or the first Lord Avonmore. Nothing whatever was stated during the examination on Wedne.:": l aY to justify such a statement. ALLEGED FRAUDSOF A LOAN SOClETY.—Several persons, male and female, attended to solicit the magistrate's advice under the following circumstances : From the statement of one of the parties, who was spokes man on the occasion, it appeared that, being engaged in trade, and wanting some money to carry on his business, he applied to the Surrey Loan Society for an advance of 101. The money was accordingly advanced, on his giving the neces sary security of a stamped note for the full amount, which was to be paid by weekly instalments of 4s. 4d. Having re paid the money he borrowed, the persons belonging to the society refused to deliver up the book or voucher in which the different instalments were entered, and to the inquiries of the applicant and other borrowers, a Mr. Jermand, in the City, is now suing many of them and their securities, where it can be proved the loans have been repaid. In reply to Mr. Corrixounm, the applicant said that one of the principal parties belonging to the loan society was now a bankrupt, and that upon an application to a Mr. Loyd, he admitted advancing money to the managers of the society on the loan notes, but says that they promised to redeem them as the loans were paid off. That many of the applicants' books, containing the entries of cash they repaid, were now in the hands of the secretary, who refused to re turn them ; and proceedings had been actually commenced against several of the borrowers, to compel them to pay the money over again. The managers got the books as vouchers from the borrowers, by pretending that they were required at the office for the purpose of being examined. Mr. CorrulGivai said that, assuming what the applicant had stated to be correct, a very gross fraud had been at tempted by the parties complained against. Although the case did not come within his jurisdiction still, if the circum stances were as represented, he would advise the applicants to lose no time in employing a respectable solicitor. The applicants, amongst whom were several respectable looking females, having thanked the Magistrate, then with drew. William Steadman, a cab driver, was charged, with caus ing an obstruction at the terminus of the Brighton Railroad. Shields, a policeman of the Company, stated that he was stationed near the platform of the above railway, to prevent the obstruction of vehicles arriving and setting down pas sengers for the trains. The defendant's cab was driven up to the usual place of setting down passengers, and although his fare had alighted and gone on to the train, yet the vehicle was left standing in a situation which ought to have been taken by the next in rotation ; and when witness went up to remove it, the defendant interfered, abused him, and cre ated a considerable degree of confusion at the terminus be fore his removal was effected; in addition to which, he wore his badge turned upside down in such a manner that it was impossible to take his right number if it was found neces sary. The witness added that the secretary of the Company, being made acquainted with the circumstances, gave direc tions for the defendant to be taken into custody. Mr. CorrinGium said that when Cases of this description were brought before him, he was determined on punishing the offenders, with a view that travellers by railroads should experience as little impediment as possible at the commence ment of their journeys. The Magistrate then imposed a fine of 20s. and costs on the defendant, or fourteen days' impri sonment in default of payment. The defendant, not being prepared with the money, was locked up. LAMBETH. ASSAULT BY CAUNT, THE PUGILIST.—A person named Marshall applied to Mr. Henry for summonses against Ben jamin Cannt, the well• known pugilist, and at present the landlord of the Coach and Horses public-house in St. Mar tin's-lane. _ _ From the statement of the applicant it appeared that, on the evening before, Caunt drove along the Walworth-road at so furious a rate, in his gig, as to endanger the lives of the passengers, and ultimately ran "smack" against applicant's chaise-cart. The applicant remonstrated with the big bruiser upon his conduct, but the only return he received was two severe lashes from his whip, which cut his (applicant's) coat right through. •In reply to a question from the Bench, the applicant said the damage done would take at least 21. to repair; and Mr. Henry at once granted him two summonses against Caunt4-one for the wilful damage, and the other for the assault. THE GRAND BALL AND CONCERT FOR THE WARD SCHOOLS. Yesterday the Committee appointed to conduct the ball and concert for the benefit of the City of London Ward Schools, assembled most numerously at Guildhall, the Eight Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. Mr. J. WOOD, the Secretary to the Committee, said It gave him much satisfaction to be able to state that he had already received a long list of contributions for the benefit of the ward schools, wholly independent of the ball and concert, which were to be graced by the presence of persons of dis tinction of both sexes, and would do honour to the unceasing exertions of the excellent Chief Magistrate of the City of London.—(Cheers.) The application for the patronage of the Queen, Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, and other illus trious individuals, had been met, not in the ordinary way in which the requests for such distinguished sanction and sup port were usually received, but were responded to with the expression of the warmest wishes for the complete success of the undertaking. He had reason to suppose that the Hall would present one of the most brilliant spectacles, and care would be taken that a greater number of tickets than could be accommodated should not be issued. It was with extreme pleasure he announced the names of the Lord Mayor, for 50/. ; of Mr. Sheriff Chaplin, for 50/. ; of Mr. Masterman, M.P. for the City of London, for 100/. ; of Mr. Felix Calvert, for 50/.—(Cheers.) Mr. Wood then proceeded to read the list of contributions, amongst which there appeared the fol lowing names :—Mr. Osgood Hanbury, 21/. ; Mr. E. Moxhay, 10/. 10s. ; the Chartered Gas Company, 10/. 10s. ; Lord Dudley Stuart, 10/. 108. • Mr. David Salomans , 10 /. 10 s. ; Mr. Philip Salomans, 10/Aos. ; the City Chamberlain, 5/. 55.; Mr. Deputy Brown, 51. ss. ; Mr. John Wood, the Secretary, 51. ss. ; Under-Sheriff Wire, 5/. ss. ; Under-Sheriff Bircham, 5/. ss. ; Mr. Muggeridge, 54 ss. ; • Mr. J. Prior, 51. ss. ; Mr. H. A. Hunt, 5/. 55., &c. It is unnecessary to observe that the announcement of such contributions highly gratified the assembly. The tonD MAYOR said the great occasion of rendering per manent benefit to the admirable institution of the - Ward Schools of the City should not be neglected by him, in his public or in his private capacity.—(Cheers.) The efforts of the friends of the great charity by which the blessings of education calculated to raise the social and moral condition of the community would, he plainly saw, by what had been ac complished within the last two or three days, be attended with a degree of success which but few could have antici pated. He expected the co-operation not only of those mer chants and bankers who are constantly occupied in the busi ness of this great City, but of those who ate no longer engaged in the pursuits to which they owed their affluence. The letter of Mr. Chaplin, the Sheriff, which appeared in the Times of that day, was an instance of the warm feeling ex cited by the notice which the press had already taken of the labours of the Committee, and would produce the intended effect of leading other gentlemen of wealth and independence, who were not aware of the existence of such a charity, to the liberal support of it.—(Cheers.) It was with no small degree of pride he informed the Committee that he had received com munications from several persons of rank and title, expres sive of their intention to be present at the Guildhall, and to aid in giving efficacy to the admirable suggestions of Mr. Ch aplin.—(Cheers.) Mr. Wools said he had satisfaction in stating that the ladies and gentlemen by whom the concert was to be per formed had volunteered to give the benefit of their high talents without pecuniary reward ; and that, in fact, in the course of the whole of the proceedings of the Committee, there were offers of superfluous assistance.—(Cheers.) Mr. WIRE said that it was gratifying to find that the pro ject of the ball and concert was not only approved of by the public, but that the announcement of it was likely to produce double benefit, by stirring up the spirit of liberality and charity amongst those who were ignorant of the claims of the institution of the Ward Schools.—Cheers.) Of the excellence of the object of educating the poor, there existed no doubt amongst those who had any education themselves. The pre sent Lord Mayor had, in his capacity of sheriff and magis trate, often witnessed the fatal effects of ignorance, and the community were under great obligations to his Lordship for having, in his endeavour to serve the poorer classes, cast his eves upon the Ward Schools, as one of the most politic means of carrying his benevolent means into practice.—(Cheers.) The utility of the effort to benefit so noble a charity was the more obvious, as it had been, to the grief of its friends, for some time drooping. A powerful restorative had become ne cessary, and that restorative was about to be administered, and would, he trusted, give a vigour to the institution adapted to the nature of its principles, and calculated to place it in health and strength on a level with the most flourishing of the day.—(Cheers.) Mr. HOLT said it had been observed by some, when the Corporation were working in that Hall for the service of the unfortunate Poles, that charity, which ought to begin at home, should be exercised for the British poor, who were suffering from want of education, as well as from other kinds of destitution. Those who readily offered that objection when applied to for their co-operation, had it now in their power to testify their sincerity by joining with the individuals who always formed the Polish Committee in benefiting their fellow-citizens. He regretted that some gentlemen endeavoured to throw a damper upon the cause, by declaring that it was in the power 9g 0911 Truci t 9 PPM iW 91 , 11 EI QOl. llowsner great the power might be, it was quite certain that in many instances the inclination did not go hand in hand with the ability.—(Hear, hear.) He was a member of the Ward of Farringdon Within, had canvassed several gentlemen whose houses resembled palaces, and he found much difficulty in obtaining here and there amongst the affluent proprietors, a solitary guinea. That was a proof of the apathy of the re presentation of the wealth of the ward ; but he trusted that the anxious zeal so unequivocally exhibited under the auspices of the Lord Mayor, would be the forerunner of a long course of prosperity to the Ward Schools of the City of Lot, don.— ( Cheers.) Mr. EDKINS perfectly agreed in the observations of the gentlemen who had addressed the Chairman. The answers he bad frequently received from families which had removed from the City into the districts of the aristocracy, upon ap plying to them for their aid, was, that they were obliged to subscribe to the local charities. Mr. J. C. PRIOR and other gentlemen also addressed the Committee, and they all separated in the unanimous opinion, that on the next night would commence the revival of the Ward Schools in the vigour which characterised them in re mote generations. THAMES. Mr. Daniel Ferguson, master of the ship China, aid Hyam Levy, a Jew slopseller in High-street, Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Broderip to answer a charge under the " Act for the protection of seamen entering on board merchant ships," the Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 116, which enacts among other things, that the Board of Trade shall license such per sons as they may deem fit to procure seamen for merchant ships, and that no person not duly licensed, or not being the owner, part owner, master, or person in charge of a ship, or the ship's husband, shall be concerned in procuring seamen to be entered. The 4th section enacts that no owner, part owner, master, or person in charge of any merchant ship, or ships's husband, shall knowingly receive, or accept to be en tered on board, any seaman who was procured contrary to the Act. The penalty for each offence is 201. In this case Mr. Wells appeared as solicitor for the pro secution, at the suit of a person named Ward, of Albert street, Shadwell, who has procured a license from the Board of Trade to " hire, engage, supply, and provide seamen." Mr. Pelham was for the defence. The summons against Levy charged that he not been duly licensed by the Lords of the Committee of her Majesty's Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations, and not being the owner, part owner, master, or person in charge of a merchant ship, or a ship's husband, did unlawfully supply and provide two seamen for a certain merchant ship, called the China. The summons against Captain Ferguson charged him with knowingly receiving the two seamen so procured by an unlicensed person contrary to the provisions of the Act. Mr. Wells stated the case, and said this was the first pro secution under the Act, which was one of great importance to the shipping interest. He called two seamen, from whose evidence it appeared they went on board the China to obtain berths, and were referred to Levy. Upon going to his shop they saw Mrs. Levy, who said she wanted to engage hands for the China, and a card of recommendation was given to them, which they were to present to the defendant Ferguson. At that time Levy's son was on board the China, but Levy himself was not there, nor did he appear to have had much to do with the transaction. On the first occasion, when the sailors went to the shop, they asked Mrs. Levy if she had to engage the hands for the China, and she replied in the affir mative. Her husband, who was standing by, did not say anything. The men called at Levy's shop, and also on board the ship, several times, but, after all, were not engaged. Mr. Pelham urged there was no providing of seamen, as contemplated by the Act, and that Levy had nothing to do with the affair. There was really no case for him to answer. Captain Ferguson said he had not received any seamen provided by Levy. Mr. BROBERIP said it was easy to see there had been an attempt to evade a new Act of Parliament, which was likely to be a very useful one, and was passed to protect sailors from a class of persons termed " crimps," who were guilty of gross impositions. If a conviction was to be made, it must be founded on good evidence, and there was none before him. He was under the necessity of dismissing both sum monses ; but he begged it might be distinctly understood that when a case was made out he should enforce the law, and if any one offended they must expect to be visited with a severe penalty. The Act of Parliament was passed most righte ously to put down a very bad system of engaging seamen by crimps, slopsellers, and others, who exacted large gratuities from seamen. The new law prohibited any unlicensed per son interfering with the engagements of seamen, except owners, masters, and ship's husbands; and the Act expressly prohibited any person whatever from receiving any remu neration from seamen, either directly or indirectly, on ao count of their being hired. He would discourage any at tempt to revive the old system, which the law was passed to put down. The licensed agents were under the control of the Board of Trade, and they alone had the right to procure sea men for merchant ships, with the exception of the persons he had named. The summonses were then dismissed. HAMMERSMITH. Edmund Ankens, a lad in his fourteenth year, the son of Mr. Joseph Ankens, a bricklayer, of No. 1, South-street, Hammersmith, was charged;with having stolen,a silver watch, a pair of silver spectacles, a gold ring, and a tortoiseshell snuff box, the property of his father. The prisoner has been repeatedly charged at this Court with robbing his parents and other relatives. About six weeks since,he was committed for trial at the Middlesex Sessions for stealing a pistol, the property of his uncle, to which he pleaded guilty, and the witnesses not being in at tendance at the time, he was sentenced to twenty-four hours' solitary confinement, and then discharged. Mrs. Ankens deposed that she was the mother of the pri soner, to reclaim whose vicious propensities every possible effort had been made. On the morning of the previous day the prisoner left home about eight o'clock, and some time af terwards, on having occasion to go to a chest of drawers, she missed her husband's silver watch, silver spectacles, gold ring, and snuff-box produced. The value of them was 31. Other evidence having been given, the boy was committed for trial. GREENWICH. John Brelsford, keeper of a beer-shop, New Kent-road, appeared to an information, charged with selling beer by retail in a booth at Hatcham Races, without being duly licensed so to do, on the 22d of Sept. last, whereby he had incurred, under the Acts of 7th and Bth Geo. IV., a penalty of 201. The information was laid at the instance of Mr. Sly, su pervisor of the district. Mr. Evans, solicitor, of Lee, ap peared for the defendant. The evidence was, that he supplied a pint of porter to William Bennett, an Excise officer, on the day and at the place mentioned, and that he was, therefore, amenable to the penalty, Hatcham Fair not being chartered for such purpose. The defendant had been cautioned previously not to act as he had dcaiel A pled witiggi9 l3 l 911 Olt gralad§ NEW RAILWAY SCHEMES.

In morning the annual sermon was preached by the Venerabl4, Archdeacon of Surrey, after which the examiners, the Rev:' Dr. Russell and the Rev. Dr. Major, accompanied by the Rev. W. C. Mackenzie, the master of the school, and others of the clergy and visitors, &c., proceeded to the school-room, where the speeches were given, and the Andria of Terence represented by the scholars. The warden, Mr. Alderman Humphrey, M.P., was unfortunately unable to at tend, being, as it was said, at Paris; in his absence the chair was taken by Alderman Farricomb. The principal speakers were Messrs. Hardingham, Hunt, Davies, Lee, Morgan, Hooppell, Goward, Fauntleroy, Key, Smith, Thomp son, Berridge, Pincott, and Jacobs, all of whom ac quitted themselves in .a very creditable manner. At the conclusion of the speeches, Dr. Russell addressed a few words to the pupils, in which he congratulated them and their pa rents on their progress in their studies and their good beha viour, and said if he and his co-examiner, Dr. Major, should be alive at the next anniversary, they hoped to find that the examination of that year would be equally satisfactory. The company then dispersed, and the pupils commen ce d the enjoyment of their holidays, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 18.
