(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice WicuTmAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.) BARKER V. DIARIGNAN. Mr. Petersdorff appeared fur the plaintiff, and Mr, Platt for the defendant. This was an action to recover damages for an arrest and alleged false imprisonment. The plaintiff is a livery stable keeper, and the defendant's horse and chaise had been brcu.4ht to plaintiff's stable and put up there. During that time the horse was baited. In about half an hour after !he defendant arrived at plain tiff's stables, and calh d for his horse and chaise, on which he was told that there was a shilling to pay. He replied that his horse and chaise had not been sent there by himself, but by the landlord of the Brown Bear, in Covent-garden, and that, therefore, he should not pay the charge di-manded. Upon this plaintiff told him:that he detain should the horse and chaise until his demand was paid, whereupon the plaintiff went out, and returning with policeman. gave the plaintiff into custody, and at the station-house preferred a charge of felony against him for stealing his horse and chaise. To recover damage. for thiJ causeless arrest and false imprisonment the pre sent action had been brought. The jury found for plaintiff—Damages 101. DAVIS V. CURLING. This was an action against the surveyor of the high ways of tie parish of Tottenham, to recover damages for the consequences of an accident which had been occasioned, as was alleged, by his neglect. The plain tiff is a cowheeper, residing in Lambeth, and on the lw January, 1843, he drove down to Tottenham in a one horse chaise, accompanied by his wife, to the house of a Mr. N wsome, where he remained to supper. On his return home his gig was upset in Marsh-lane, in conse quence cf his driving over a heap of gravel. The gig was broken to pieces, and Davis and his wife were both seriously injured. The former was confined to his bed for three weeks, and was disabled from attend ing to his business for six we( ks. It appeared that on each side of the lane there is a track of greensward, on which it is customary to place heaps of gavel for the repair of the road, where they are left until th y are required. The heap in question, it was contended, extended from the greensward into the road. Several of the plaintiff's witnesses swore positively to this fact, and also stated that they had, before the acci dent cccurred, frequently drawn the attention of the defendant servants to the dangerous s t a t e o f th e par ticular gr el heap which had occasioned the accident. Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. Bovile) having concluded the case for the plaintiff, Mr. PETERSDORFF (with whom was Mr. James), for the defendant, submitted that he was entitled to the verdict, on the ground that the defendant had not re ceived twenty one days' notice of the action, which, as a public officer, he was entitled to, under the 109th s e ct i on of' the sth and 6th Willi am IV., cap. 50, and that t'w , p'aintiff must be nonsuited, even should the Court decide no notice was necessary, because there was no proof of the- allegation that defendant had received distinct notice to remove the gravel, and that there was no evidence to show that he had suffered the gravel to remain there wilfully, or even to shoar that he knew that it was there at all. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN having heard Mr. Platt and Mr. Bovile in reply to the objections, refused to stop the case, but rese'r'ved the points. Mr. PETERSDORFF then addressed the jury for the defendant. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN, in summing up, left these questions to the jury —First, were they satisfied that the defendant ever knew that the gravel was in the place where it was ? Secondly, if he did so know it, was it negligence and want of due care on his part to leave it there ? Thirdly, if they answered the other two questions in the affirmative, w;Te they satisfied that the accident had been occasioned by such negligence ? The jury then retired to consider their verdict. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.---The Irish clergy, as a body, seem by no means satisfied with Sir Robert Peel's pretty clearly expressed intentions respecting the Roman Catholic seminary at Alaynooth ' • and still les s w ith the increased grant f o r national education. On the former question there have be( n some bitter personal attacks on the Premier ; in which his conduct on the Catholic question has been referred to, as indicative of his leaning toward Romanism ; and of which his .present purpose of increasing the Parliamentary grant to Alaynooth, with a view to render ing that seminary more efficient for the purpose of training youth for the Roman Catholic priesthood, is a mere continuation. The contemplated change in the Dublin University, by which its honours and emo luments would be rendered available to numbers who are now excluded from both, has also provoked a Pro., testant demonstration against Sir R o b er t P eel ; which will, doubtless, be revived, and increased, whenever the proposal is submitted in a tangible shape to the University authorities. It is true that Sir R. Peel has gained over some, and muzzled others of the clergy, who were among the foremost in denouncing the National system. Still there re main a large number, " whose tongues "—to use the language o f one o f t h e " faithful among the NEW ZEALAND.

Owing to the advance of the season, the demand for yarn (which has bean so exceedingly active during the last few weeks) has now somewhat abated, and rather lower prices were yesterday, accepted for certain descrip tions of warps and of cop- wet lt, which had previously commanded higher relative prices than other sorts. For all the ordinary shipping numbers and qualities, however, the prices remain quite as high as heretofore. Fur goods, the demand is still limited, with a slight tendency t© a decliue in prices, in some few fabrics. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, NOVEM BER 25.—The flannel market has been heavy, and the Prices ruinously low. When trade is good, this month is generally the busiest, and the demand continues up to Chri,truas. Wool has been rather better to buy to-day, but the inquiry for it continues very limited. on the the one hand we deplore the powerful opposi tion which is made to the Government, in its attempts to adapt its policy to the spirit of the age, and to the circumstances of the Irish people, we cannot wonder that the Government has met with resistance from such quarters. The conduct of Sir Robert Peel, in conjunction with the leading members of the Government, when endeavouring to oust the Whig Ministers, is the main cause of this resistance. They encouraged expectations in those who now resist their educational policy, which are now shown to have been fallacious. Disappointment has engendered distrust; and this has, in its natural results, led to that embodied hostility which—though it may not be successful in effecting the overthrow of the national system of education, nor in defeating the other mea sures against which it is directed—will be a source of embarrassment to the Government, and cannot fail to estrange its adherents, and thus divide and weaken its purty in Ireland. STANDARD.—The late deplorable accident on the llidland Counties Railway naturally calls atten tion to the possible dangers of the new means of transit, and to the proper guards against such dan gers. In the first instance, however, we must be careful not to exaggerate the hazards of railway travelling, which, as experience has shown, are less than in any other mode of travelling. Even in the infancy of their use the casualities upon rail roads have averaged much less, in proportion to the number of travellers, than coach travelling used to average, even in the high state of per fection to which it was carried in this country. Still, though railroad travelling is, we believe, the safest manner of locomotion yet discovered, the late accident and other accidents, rare as they have been, prove that it is not yet absolutely safe; but to absolute safety the public are entitled if the thing be attainable. And seeing how near to perfection the system has been already carried, we do not despair of the object being attained to. Still, if we would spare the lives of our fellow-creatures during the stage of improvement, the public must exercise some forbearance, must make allowance for the acci dents and inconveniences inseparable from the adoption of every new art, must occasionally submit patiently, and with good humour to cautionary delays necessary for the safety of men's lives. Already, railroad tra velling, by daylight, and in clear nights, seems to be perfectly safe from collisions; the generally almost rectilinear course of the trains gives to the eye suffi cient warning of the approach of a train by day, o , in a clear night, to allow time for a halt. The enemy to be dealt with is fog, which renders the eye comparatively useless ; and the ques tion to be solved is, the most certain, and easiest, and (a consideration not to be over looked) the cheapest means of communicating through the fog. The electrical telegraph first presents itself, and this means of communication will, we doubt not, be adopted sooner or later upon every railway, on the score of economy as well as from considerations of safety. Such a communication from station to station, would enable railway managers to save much expense in their preparations, as well as to give immediate notice of the departure of every train, so as to render colli sions impossible. The electrical telegraph has not yet, however, as we believe, been carried to that state of complete perfection to justify an implicit reliance upon it, and its establishment demands an ex pediture of time and money that forbid the hope that it can ba very early adopted. The second means of communication that occurs is addressed to the ear— the bell, gong, or bugle. At sea the bell and gong are found useful means of warning, and on shore they, as well as the bugle, communicate sound to a very great distance—to a distance much greater than would serve as ample warning to a railway train to avoid a collision. In thick weather one of these noisy sentinels might be easily attached to the engine of every train, and if the trouble of giving it wise were a consideration, it might be self-sounded by a communication with the machinery of the en gine. i Our opinion is, however, th a t a communica tion independ e nt of, and separated from, the train would be desirable, whether the train were or were not provided with a warning instrument. A series of bells, gongs, or bugles, beside the railway line, and at a distance of about half a mile apart, to be manned in thick weather either by the railway police or by labourers specially employed for the accasion, would render impossible such frightful acci dents as that at Beeston, while the expense would be very trifling. Tha outlay in the first instance would be probably not more than 401. or 501. the mile, and besides that it would save many lives, it would well repay railway proprietors, by render ing this mode of travelling perfectly safe, and ob viating alllthe expense caused by accidents. The damage to engines and carriages at Beeston is very properly lost sight of, in our estimate of a misfor tune that has proved fatal to our fellow-creatures; but the pecuniary loss must be considerable, probably several thousand pounds, all of which would have been saved had there been a proper means of communication established, It may be said that fogs occur but seldom, and that the collision at Beeston was the effect of neglect or stupidity ; but logs, neglect, and stupidity, are accidents that wise men will anticipate as of inevitable occurrence, and that good men will provide against, if they threaten to endanger life. Fogs are clearly beyond our reach ; and before we unnecessarily leave the lives of our fellow-creatures dependant upon the vigilance and correct judgment of of others we ought to bd quite sure that we are never negligent or stupid ourselves. Frederick the Great used to say, that" the general who did not make a large allowance for the neglects and bluders of his subordinates, did not know half his business." In what we have said, we would not indeed imply that there was either neglect or stupidity in the sad affair at Beeston—an opinion upon the point were prema ture. Misapprehension there certainly was ; and, as certainly, neglect or stupidity, while means of com munication are wanting, might lead to all the horrid consequences to which something clearly led. that the Parliamentaryresolutions are wholly consistent witlithe treaty of Waitangi, and perfectly honest and good; and I further say, that the very terms and spirit of that treaty itself furnish us with a full justification of the Parliamentary Committee's report. By the second article of that treaty her Majesty " guarantees to the chiefs and tribes of New Zealand, and to the re spective families and individuals thereof, the full, exclu sive, and undisturbed possession of their lands, estates, forests, fisheries, and other properties, which they may collectively or individually possess, so long as it is their wish to retain the same in their possession. But the pri vilege of pre-emption is yielded to her Majesty over such land as the proprietors thereof may be disposed to alienate." Manchester District Court. Stanway, official assignee. J.

And pray how, attentively considered, does this in any way conflict with the report of the Parliamentary Committee ? Mr. Coates says that the recommendations of the Committee nullify the above clause of this treaty. I say they do not nullify it, but leave it wholly undisturbed. The argument arises upon the word possess. The treaty guarantees to the natives all the lands, &c., which they possess. So far so good. But then the Parlia mentary Committee does the same.—( Vide the Report, passim.) The report throughout admits and enforces possession and occupation to be the means of acquiring the title to land in New Zealand, and therefore advocate s the very terms of the treaty by impliedly confirming the natives in whatever land they may possess. Any person who reads the report, and who is in the least degree conversant with the subject, will at once see this, and that the claim for the settlers extends only to such land as may bo unoccupied or unpossessed by the natives. The report regards such unpossessed land as part of nature's waste, and open to the first occupier. This doctrir.e has been held by the best writers of all ages, e.g., Grotius, Blackstone, Locke, Puffendorf, and Paley. The native New Zealander does not occupy or possess a thousandth part of the country for his own support or use (see: Parliamentary papers), and yet Mr. Coates and his missionary friends would keep the remaining 999 parts to themselves, and proscribe other Europeans from acquiring it. But then "they have purchased it I" An equitable purchase, truly, it has been! even admitting some purchase for the sake of argument. A blanket for one thousand acres, a gun or a cloak for 5,000 acres, and so on ! Why, is it not clear to any one, that the natives in their own minds know they are selling what they have no right to, or they would not accept such moonshine equivalents as these ? It is like Sheridan getting a shot at a flock of geese for sixpence, and when he had killed three, and was chuckling at his bargain, being advised by the bumpkin who had received the six pence to make himself scarce, as the real owner was coming into the field. The sly fellow was glad to accept the smallest sum, because what he gave in exchange did not belong to him. The treaty of Waitangi most properly confirms the natives in the lands they possess, but leaves open the remaining lands to las ful settlement, and the Parlia mentary reports hold the same doctrine, and I defy any impartial reader, be he lay or clerical, to come to any otlthr conclusion than this.

Liverpool. the true spirit of the report, and then argues in the most dogmatical manner on such false foundations. This is as palpable a piece of Jesuitry as I ever met with. Of course, looking both at the treaty and the report, the true meaning of possession is always to be carefully regarded. It must be settled with a due respect to cir cumstances and the habits of the people. It would be as absurd to construe, e. gr., mere walking over the land once in a lifetime into an act of possession, as to require a legal possession by deed, signed, sealed, and delivered. The animus is the true criterion, whether the individual intended to take possession, and followed up the intention by a corresponding act ; but in such a possession as this, the New Zealander would be disturbed neither by the treaty nor the Parliamentary report. I therefore do trust that Lord Stanley will not, now the way has been opened, refuse to enter upon it from any false feeling towards the aborigines. Their rights, like those of Europeans, rest upon one foundation, both by nature and treaty, viz., possession or occupation. Let these rights be openly recognised, and so let an end be put to that sad state of doubt and dread which at present exists. Let rights, whether of the red or white man, be settled and enforced. A young colony cannot stand still—it must go 'on or fall back; and the uncertainty which yet prevails in New Zealand is enough to stifle it in its infancy. But as Carlyle says, it is a sad time for Governments when the governed pray to be let alone. Lord Stanley may continue to neglect New Zealand, but rely upon it the effect will be most prejudicial to himself and his charactar with posterity. Let Lord Stanley do a little in the business of his official connexion with New Zealand in the right direction, instead of allowing himself to be put forward as the tool of the missionaries, and mixed up with all their transactions. Let him carry out the principle of the Parliamentary report and of the treaty of Waitangi, for the principle of both is identical —" That possession or occupation alone give an original title to land, and that claims to compensation not founded on this principle are to be disregarded, as unsound in theory and unjust in practice."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, CIVILIS.

ROGERS AND CO.'S, IN THE CITY.—Up to yesterday evening no infor mation had been received by the City police authorities on the subject of this extraordinary robbery. It' is con sidered by those about the banking-house, that the rob bery was committed about the middle of tho day on Sunday, and the reasonable inference from that con jecture is, that the thieves started by railroads to the several ports from which steamers were speedily to sail to various parts of the Continent. Messengers were sent off by Mr. Hobler to France, Germany, Belgium, and other places, and the several telegraphs were set to work. It is unnecessary to state that the greatest exer tions are being made by Mr. Hobler, whose experience and activity lead the members of the plundered esta blishment to hope that detection may soon follow.— We are informed that her Majesty has offered a free pardon to any accomplice concerned in the above affair. GUERNSEY. — WhiIe Jersey is in a state of excite ment on account of the proceedings in the Wilson case, the sister island of Guernsey has a little affair of her own to furnish a topic of conversation in parlours and club-rooms. Four British gentlemen have fallen into what is familiarly termed a row. The circumstances are briefly these :—Mr. M'Donald, who has been a re sident not many months in the island, became a candi date for admission into the " Civil and United Service Club" of Guernsey. Upon bing balloted for, according to the rules of the club, he was blackballed. He was na turally vexed and indignant at the result, and endea voured to discover the cause of it. His suspicions at last rested upon Mr. Armstrong, a member of the club, who, he believed, had made statements prejudicial to his character. Mr. M'Donald, on entering a billiard-room, was heard to say—" He (alluding, it is supposed, to Mr. Armstrong) is not here —we must go and find him and drag him out of the house and give him a licking." This being mentioned to Major Rybot, Mr. Armstrong's friend, the Major went to the constable's office and got Mr. M'Donald bound over to keep the peace towards Mr. Armstrong. Mr. M'Donald, fired at this interfe rence, wrote an offensive letter to the Major, and re ceived a similar one in return. Meeting Major Rybot and Mr. Armstrong in the street, M'Donald asked Major Rybot what he meant by his letter. The reply was, that the letter explained itself. Mr. M'Donald then flourished his stick over Major Rybot, and told him to consider that it had been laid across his shoulders. The Major returned the compliment, desiring that Mr. M'Donald would entertain a similar agreeable idea. After a variety of further courteous expressions, the verbal civility came to more substantial marks of good will, and not only Mr. M'Donald, but Mr. Dundas, a gentleman in his company, fell upon Major Rybot in a very un- English style—two to one ; the Major, however, fought so gallantly that ho had the best of the battle until his cane broke. He was then rescued by the inter ference of others. We are acquainted with none of the parties in any way implicated in this affair, with the ex ception of Major Rybot, whom we know to be a highly honourable man and a true gentleman in his manners, and we think that his conduct in this unhappy matter re dounds greatly to his credit. The business was brought before the Police-court of Guernsey on Tuesday last, when Mr. M.`Donald and bin Dundas were sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment, and to be called upon at the end of that time to give bail in 501. each, with two sure ties of 25/. each, to keep the peace towards all her Ma jesty's subjects in Guernsey for one year.—Jersey Times. FATAL ACCIDENT AT WALWORTH. — On Tuesday morning, shortly before two, a melancholy accident oc curred at the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth, whereby ene gentleman has been killed and another seriously in. jAred, besides several persons, male and female, wounded. The name of the gentleman who was unfortunately killed is Slade, aged 27, who resided with his father i n the Albany-road; the other is named King, from the same neighbourhood. Last night a masquerade took place in the large room at the rear of the above tavern, the staircase , leading to which is in the garden, and very slightly erected. The deceased, Mr. Slade, and several others, were on the landing at the top of the staircase, when there was a rush to gain admission into the room. The doorkeeper, who was at the top of the stairs, drove the parties back, when the pressure caused the railing s and a portion of the upper l an ding to gi ve way. Th. ceased fell head-foremost on a sharp stone, and literally smashed his head to pieces. Mr. King fell on his side, and received several injuries, which are likely to prove fatal. The police having procured two stretchers, brought the unfortunate gentlemen to Guy's Hospital. Mr. Slade expired on the way. The other wounded persons were assisted to their residences by the police. The doorkeeper, Mr. Passmore, a commission avnt, Star-court, Fenchurch-street, was taken into custody. Passmore was brought before Mr. Traill, at Union-hail, yesterday, and remanded till an inquest should be held on the body. Ir. C.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER - 27, 1844. with him. At a quarter-past eight o'clock the de fendant came into the shop, and, in a very peremptory manner, demanded his money. Mr. COMM inquired if he owed Mr. Stevens any thing ? Complainant said he had lost 15/. in betting with him on races, 131. on Foig-a-ballagh, in the St. Leger, and 21. on other stakes. lie went on to say that he told the defendant he had not got the money, who thereupon called him a swindler, and applied other language to him too vile and disgusting to be mentioned in the presence of witness's wife and friends. Witness still persisted in saying he had not the money. The defendant exclaimed, " I will knock your other eye out." Witness told him he must leave the house, whereupon, raising a large stick, he aimed a violent blow at his head. Witness put up his arm to ward it off, and received the blow on it. The blow caused a swelling as large as a half pint pot on the elbow, and he had not since then had the use of the limb. The defendant swore he would " serve him out," and "do for him." Witness's friends interfered, and the defendant went away using bad language. The defendant denied the assault, and said it was rheumatic gout affected the complainant's arm. His money had been due since the St. Leger race. The complainant had nearly choked him. Mr. Goodwin, one of Mr. Banting's guests on the occasion, confirmed the complainant's testimony in every respect. lie also added that in consequence of the defendant's violence a mob of 150 people had ga thered round the house, and that he threatened "to do" for the complainant, if not now at some other time. Mr. COMBE (to the complainant) —Why don't you pay Mr. Stevens the 15/. ? Complainant—l was un able to do so, Sir—other parties had not paid me. Mr. COMBE—Nonsense, how is he to know whether they have or not ? You had better pay him the 151. You are a long time in his debt. The complainant repeated his inability to do so. Mr. COMBE—If you are an honest man you will pay- hina. - The complainant's wire here stepped forward, and, in a tone of indignation, said the defendant was con tinually coming to her husband's house, requesting of him to bet on various horses, which he said would certainly win. He had in consequences made two bets with the defendant, which he lost. The defen dant was himself indebted in various sums for bets made in their neighbourhood. Mr. COMM (to the complainant)—The defendant asks for a bill. Why don't you give him your bill for the 151., which you acknowledge you owe ? The complainant said that after having received such treatment, he should be less inclined to do so than ever. Mr. CoMBE—If you pay him the 151., I'll fine him for the assault. The complainant said he had been brutally treated, and declined the offer. The defendant, who admitted that he was " a betting man," was merely bound over in his ow n recognisance to answer any charge at the sessions. THAMES POLICE. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—An active-looking young man, named Charles William Glover, a labourer, re siding in Whitehouse-lane, Stepney, was charged with feloniously wounding Ann Neal, a young married woman, in an advanced state of pregnancy. It appeared, from the evidence of several witnesses, that on the evening of Monday week, the prisoner, whose conduct was more like that of a raving maniac than of a rational being, ran a-muck along the Mile end-road, in a state of infuriated drunkenness, with a mason's trowel in his hand, striking every person who came in his way. He first hit a man named Green, who was selling umbrellas near the kerb-stone below the London Hospital, with such force, that but for the intervention of the coat collar the blow would have nearly decapitated him. He next struck at, but fortunately missed, a young man named Hopkin s , and then rushed o n strikin g furiously both right and left, Green and Hopkins being in pursuit. On arriv ing opposite the London Hospital, the prisoner struck Mrs. Neal so forcibly on the left side of the head that the trowel cut through her bonnet and laid open her cheek to the teeth, two of which were displaced, and hung loosely by light filaments from the gum. She fell senseless on the pavement, bleeding profusely from the wound, and was ultimately conveyed to the London Hospital. Green and Hopkins continued their pursuit of the prisoner, who still ran on, striking at all in his course until he was overtaken by the latter near Osborne street, on which he turned and attempted to use the trowel, but Hopkins closed in on him, and they both fell in the struggle and rolled over and over in the mud. He was then given into the custody of two constables, whom he kicked and cuffed violently on the way to the station-house. Mrs. Neal, who had been in the hospital until Saturday last, attended yesterday with her head bandaged up. She seemed still pale and languid from what she suffered. Her testimony was in accordance with the statement given above. The prisoner said he was drunk at the time, and had no recollection of what occurred. Mr. BRODERI' told him that was no excuse for running a-muck at the public, and, in his mad vio• lence, striking at every person he met. In the case of Mrs. Neal, he must take his trial for feloniously wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and the other parties injured could have redress by indicting him at the Sessions. The prisoner was fully committed.

In the coi'r ese of examination it -was elicited from the hour, plaintiff' witnesses, that the ill-treatment on account of whieli Mrs. Franklin left her husband, consisted mainly of vulgar and gross language, which, his Lordship ob served, however shocking to a female who had been ac customed to more refined society, she might have ex pected to endure when she allied fl erself to a man of the class to which the defendant belon fed. It also appeared that before the action was brought, Mrs. Franklin bad returned to her husband, and that his conduct towards her had, from January last till the present time, been unexceptionable- her father deposed that he, and not the plaintiff, had maintained her during the separation. The jury, after a short deliberation, found that the lady had had sufficient cause for leaving her husband, but that the board afforded her by the uncle was not furnished os the husband's credit, through her pro mise.—Verdiet entered for defendant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 26. (Before Mr. CommiEsioner EVANS.) THE RAINBOW TAVERN, FLEET-S'Y'REET, IN RE ISAAC ARGENT. This case came before the Court on Friday last, for the choice of assignees, and was adjourned over to this day, fur the purpose of certain creditors, who then sought to prove, producing their books, to verify their accounts, and also for the examination of Mr. Coils, who was alleged to have been in partnership with the bankrupt. Mr. Hoggins attended for the bankrupt, and Mr. Cooke for certain creditors. Mr. Commissioner Evaxs----Do any creditors attend to prefer joint proofs ; for I understand at the last hearing that such an object was in contemplation ? There was no answer. Proof of several debts was tendered, and one re lating to accommodation bill transactions with Mr. West, an innkeeper at Hastings, was ordered to stand over. Mr. Coils having been sworn, was examined by Mr. H OGGINs , an d stated in substance as follows : I formerly kept the Rainbow Tavern, Fleet-street, and now produce an agreement entered into between me and Argent, who subsequently occupied that house in consequence of such agreement. There were many payments and other transactions between us after that time. Mr. HoGams—Do you keep any book ? Mr. Coils--No, Ido not; but I produce a statement of the payments between us. I have other papers beside that which I now produce, but they are at home, and when the Court wishes they shall be forthcoming. Mr. Cooke, the solicitor, made out the agreement between me and the bankrupt. Were all your transactions with him in conse quence of that agreement ?—No, they were not all on the footing of that agreement ; such as rent, for example, and other matters. Now tell the Court, Mr. Coils, when you took pos session of the Rainbow Tavern ?—I think it was on last Saturday fortnight. How came you in possession of the Rainbow ?—J put in an execution for money due to me. Did you examine his (the bankrupt's) accounts, or ascertain the nature or amount of his property ? No, I did not. How much money does the bankrupt owe you now? —1,7001., of which 1,000/. is upon his bond, and the remainder upon bills of exchange, and a cheque for 2001., which I lent him. There was a bill of sale from the Sheriff to me, dated 12th November • 1844. Did you then pay over t h e money to the Sheriff?— No I did not, a s I myse lf i ssued the execution. No other proofs having been tendered, Mr. John Wells, of Upper Norton-street, gentleman, was chosen assignee. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. George John Page, a wheelwright, in the employment of the South-Western Railway Company, was charged with having stolen some brass tubes, &c., of the value of 6s. 9d., from that Company. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Johnson for the defence. The evidence proved that the property was found on his (the prisoner's) premises, and the servants upon the railway identified it. The jury found him Guilty, but in consideration of a previous good character', recommended him to mercy. The RECORDER said that, owing to that recommenda tion, he should limit the period of his imprisonment to two calendar months, with hard labour. James Johnson, 23, was indicted for attempting to commit a burglary in the dwelling-house of Samuel John Weldon. The charge was pretty clearly made out upon the facts, but on the prosecutor being cross-examined by Mr. Prendergast, who appeared for the prisoner, he said that he had given the Christian name of Samuel as well as John, because he believed he had been christened in both names, but he had always gone by the name of John Weldoa only, and was married in that name, and, in fact, was not known by any other. The prosecutor was questioned at some length by. the RECORDER, and the only reason he appeared able to give for adding the name of S:itnuel was, that he had some traditionary recollection that he was entitled to it.
