COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 18. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, before the LORD CHIRF BARON 'and a Special Jury.) CASTLEMAN V. CAPPER. This part-heard case was resumed this morning. It was an action of assumpsit, brought to recover the sum of 1,000/. on a policy of insurance, effected on the brig Alarm with the Marine Insurance Company, of which the defendant is deputy chairman. The defendant had pleaded, denying his liability, except as to 500/., which he paid into Court. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Cleasby appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jervis, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Wilde, for the de fendant. The plaintiff was a gentleman of property, residing in Dor • setshire, and the defendant the deputy-chairman of the Ma rine Insurance Company. In August, 1842, the plaintiff; being the mortgagee of a brig called the Alarm, effected a policy of insurance with the defendant's company upon the vessel for 1,0001., the sum he had advanced upon her, which was to extend over and remain in force for a period of twelve months. The Alarm was engaged at the time in the coasting trade of South America, and continued in the same trade till the subsequent June of 1843, when she sailed on a voyage from Monte Video to Paraguay, a small place lying between Monte Video and Rio, and in the course of this voyage she encountered some very severe and bois terous weather. She was struck several times by the sea, and once touched upon a bank on the coast, known as the English Bank. On her return to Monte Video it was found that she had received so many injuries as to render her not sea-worthy, and past all repair. She was, therefore, sold as a condemned vessel to a Spanish ship-breaker for 2001., and the plaintiff ultimately brought the present action to recover the amount of insurance he had effected upon her. The master of the Alarm was called to prove the manner in which she bad received her injuries, and one of her Majesty's Marine Surveyors, named Hodges, spoke to the nature and extent of the injuries. She was, he said, so much damaged, that it would have cost more to repair her than she would after wards have been worth. Had she been in England the cost of her repair would not have amounted to more than one quarter ; lout both labour and materials were cheaper here than in South America. The carpenters of Monte Video received double and sometirnes treble the wages of an English carpenter, and one of the latter would do the work of four of the former. Besides, the Monte Videan carpenters and artizans were quite independent of their employers, and if the latter happened to say an angry word to, or remonstrate with, them upon their idle habits, they would eollect their tools and leave the work they were upon undone. Mr. JERVIS, for the defence, contended that the injuries of the Alarm were not so great as to justify her condemnation, sinoe the expense of her repairs might have been most extra vagant in Monte Video, but she might with safety have been brought over to this country at a very moderate out lay, and then made equal to a new vessel at a trifling cost, compared with what it would have been in South America. The injuries, therefore, of the vessel must be taken in the light of a partial loss, and not considered as being suffi cient to entitle the plaintiff to recover the same damages as in the case where a total loss had ensued. The plaintiff had been amply remunerated by the money paid into Court for the partial loss, and he submitted that the verdict ought to be for the defendant. 'Witnesses were called to substantiate this defence, after which Mr. CROWDER replied, and The LORD Crum , tianort summed up, explaining that a con structive loss did not mean that the vessel was totally de stroyed, but that it h a d b ecome utterly useless to the owner, and leaving it for the jury to say whether a prudent man, who was not insured at all, would have sold the vessel for 1951, under the circumstances related by the two wit nesses for the plaintiff. In point of laW, a vessel could not be condemned on speculation, or, as in this case, where the actual damage had been guessed at, but not ascertained. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. SECONDARIES' COURT, Dec. 18. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMEB.) GEARY I'. LATTER. The plaintiff in this action is an ironmonger, in Holies street, Clare-market, and the defendant, a surgeon, in the Adelphi-terrace. The action was brought to recover the sum of EV. Os. 6d. for goods sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded that he never was indebted. Mr. Cross, for the plaintiff, said that the delivery of the goods was unquestionable, and the only defence which could be anticipated was, whether the plaintiff, who carried on business under the firm of Geary and Son, was in partner ship or not. H. Fox examined—Was formerly foreman to Mr. Geary, stn., deceased. Went in June or July last to do some trifling jobs at defendant's house, when defendant desired him to make him a pattern of some wire screens for his approval. Witness caused one to be made, but it was not approved; ovo others were made, neither of which pleased his taste, but they were ultimately left with him. The chsrges were fair; the master was entitled to charge one-third more on wages, as well as profit on the material. Cross-examined by Mr. CHARNOCK—Mrs. Geary had two sons. 'Witness was consulted about their being taken into partnership, and he objected that one son should be set be fOre the other, and the bills were made out " Geary and Son." He always looked on Mr. Atlas Church (Mrs. Geary's son) as master; he hired and paid the workmen and ser vants. There was a common cash-box between the two, and each had a key. The bills produced were signed Geary a:0 Co., and he kept the book. 'Mr. Atlas Church was called, and swore positively that he was not a partner, but a servant, at 22 5 . a - wee k , and that there was no cash-box, as described. CHARNOCK addressed the jury, and said it was apainful cake. On either side one party or the other was guilty of deliberate perjury, but the only one interested iu supporting the action was the last witness. He called A witness, who estimated the value of the work at 4/. 15s. The SECONDARY lift the case to the jury whether there had been a partnership. if so, the verdict must be for the defendant ; if not, then the jury would estimate the value of the goods. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5/. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. IV 01?Til ERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dee. 16. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Thomas lons, otherwise called Illinter, was indicted for having, on the 2d day of February, in the year 1843, along with dicers others, at Goodmatiham, in the Ens , Riding, feloniously assaulted Thomas Marshall, and ettien from him six sovereigns and a watch, the said Thiomas lons and the others present being armed with a gun and other weapons. Mr. Overend appeared to conduct the prosecution, and Mrl. Blanchard and Mr. Farrar the defence. Mr. OVEREND said that he must beg of the jury to give this case their most attentive consideration, as it wa one in which th ere h a d already been four men tried lon he same char ge , a ll o f w h om had bean convicted upon it a d transport e d ; an d f rom w h at the jury would hear from the principal witness he should now call, they would perceive that, it' they had reason to believe that witness to Lie speaking the truth, they must also conclude that the Tour men so convicted were innocent of the charge for :which they were now suffering. The evidence of the witness alluded to, however, was of a kind to require some corroboration, as he was, by his own admission, an accomplice in the crime of which the prisoner was accused. That witness, Francis Haythorn, was now in gaol, and under sentence of transportation for a different felony. The prosecutor, Mr. T. Marshall, was a farmer, and lived at Market Weighton. In his house, at the time of the robbery, there were only three persons, him self,,a man servant, and a female servant. The accom plice would now state circumstances similar to those de tailed on the trial in 1643, and it appeared reasonable frorri that statement, and from the evidence which would be given by a woman with whom he lodged at the time, to conclude that the prosecutor, who had identified two of the men transported, and the woman who had identi fied the other two men, were mistaken, and in fact that it was a different party of persons who had committed the deed in question. Francis Haythorn stated, that he was now in confine ment' under sentence of transportation. On the 30th of January, 1843, the witness and three other men, of the names of Robinson, Batchelor, ana l Th ompson, went to lodge with J ane olden, otherwise called Turner, at Market Weighton. William Trainer and his'wife were lodging there. Knew the prisoner, and had known him long ; seen him hundreds of times. The prisoner came to Mrs. Holden's on the 30th of January, 1843. He lived . at Market Weighton, and on that day he was playing at cards with the rest at Holden's. On the Ist of February Luke Robinson, called "Blue Skin," went out along with the prisoner into the market. Wit ness has been a witness against " Blue Skin." He is now transported. When the two came back to Holden's the prisoner said they had seen a man in the market who had got a quantity of money for some turnips. The prisoner said the man lived about three miles off, and that he had been upon a jury at the sessions, when he (the prisoner) was once convicted of felony. The prisoner and Robinson then agreed to rob that man, and afterwards witness himself, Trainer, Thompson, and Batchelor came into this agreement. They went that night to the house of Mr Marshall, but they did not commit the robbery then, he not being supposed to be at horn:. He did not return to Holden's that night, as they all went poaching, and stayed out till fi ve o ' clock the next morning. On the following evening they set off, the prisoner showing them the way to do the robbery. They formed th emselves into two parties, three in each, and went on the road, the parties at some distance apart, until the prisoner had to guide them across several fields towards the house. On their way thither they came to a sheepfold in a turnip-field, and cut off some line from 1 the Sheep-net.

(Before Mr. Justice EaLit.) Henry Smith, a little boy of only 9 years of age, was indicted for having, on the 24th of November last, at the parish of Strensall, feloniously set fire to a stack of barley straw, the property of William Lund. Mr. Dearsley conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Overend defended the prisoner. It appeared that Mr. Lund is a farmer at Ifaxby, near York, and on the day in question was gone to the city of Tork. On his return, in the evening, he found that a stack of straw had been set fire to. It was so near to some other stacks as to require some pains to prevent them from catching fire also. Mrs. Britton, a neighbour, had seen the boy go into the stack-yard, and stoop down by the stack, and very shortly atter there was a blaze, and the boy ran away quickly. Mrs. Lund immediately went out and met the prisoner in the street. She told him that the stack was on fire, and he only said "Is it?" She then told him to go for the " navvies " (some men working on the railway). He went off and brought tht m, and they succeeded in putting out the fire, and preventing the other stacks from catching. The wind was in an opposite direction, or the other stacks would have been much damaged. John Creaser, a constable, asked the boy " how he came to do it?" He replied that "he took a lucifer- match from the mantel-piece, drew it across his trousers, and set fire to the stack." Mr. OTEREND, for the prisoner, said that it appeared there had been a quantity of loose straw very nigh to the stick in question, and no doubt the boy had set that on fire, not with any felonious intention fur mischief, but in order to make a bonfire, bonfire-day having been only a few days before. His LORDSEIIP, in charging the jury, said, in referring to the youth of the prisoner, that children under the age of seven years were presumed by the law to be in capable of committing crime, and that between the age of seven and that of fourteen the presumption would still remain the same, but that in the case of children above seven the presumption of innocence might be re butted by positive evidence of guilt. They were to say here, whether they thought there was such cogent evi dence against the prisoner as to lead them to the belief that he had some evil design in setting fire to the stack. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, Acquitted the prisoner, who was discharged, after a suitable ad monition from the Learned Judge as to his conduct for the future. Tho ashises terminated at a late hour this evening. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) THE FORGERY ON THE BANK OF NORWAY.—Knut Bull, 29, described as an artist, and Peter Schmidt, 39. who was stated to be a merchant, were jointly indicted under the statute fur having unlawfully in their posses sion a block of brass, upon a hich was engraved a por lion of a promissory note or order for the payment of money, purporting to be a note of a foreign state—to wit, the kingdom of Norway. There were upwards of thirty counts in the indict ment, varying in different respects the precise form of the ch mg., and in some of the counts there was given an impression from the alleged fraudulent engraving. Mr. Clarks with Mr. B•Akin, conducted the prose cution ; Mr. Doane appeared for the prisoner Bull, and Mr. Ballantine defended Schmidt. The trial occupied the Court a great many hours, but as the facts have very recently been detailed, it will not br necessary to give the evidence of each witness in full. It am), ared that the prosecution was instituted by the Bank of Norway, which corporation, it was alleged, wcs attempted to be defrauded by the act of forgery imputed to the prisoners. It would seem that the com mencement of the transaction was at Stockholm in August, in which city the prisoners were seen together, and Bull was there seen in possession of a Norway bank note for one hundred dollars, which, it would appear, was the amount of the notes that were intended to be forged; and Bull was then traced from the city of Stock holm to London, where he arrived in the beginning of September, and took an apartment in Gloucester -street, Queen-square, Bloomsbury. It was then proved, that immediately after his arrival in England, the prisoner Bull exerted himself to get paper of a particular descrip tion, such as was used fur the genuine Norway bank notes, and that he also employed a wire-maker to pro vide the necessary apparatus to make the water-mark ; and, in order to lull the suspicions of those who were engaged in the transaction, it was cunningly contrived that the ward " lottery " should be introduced, but in such a manner that it could be omitted when the plate was finally worked off. To show the connexion the pri soner Schmidt had with the transaction, it was proved that when he was taken into custody, a letter was found in his possession, signed Henry Klemford, which very clearly came from the prisoner Bull, and in which he addressed him in the most familiar terms, and detailed all his proceedings in England, of course in ambiguous terms, but very clearly referring to the particular trans action. He expressed himself very anxious to see his friend, for he said that " London was very dull, and he could not tell how Englishmen amused themselves," and evinced great anxiety for his friend (Schmidt) to come to England to join him. An answer to this letter was found in the possession of the prisioner Bull, and it appeared that, very shortly afterwards, Schmidt arrived I in London, and took up his ab o d e i n anot h er part of the same house occupied by Bull. It was then shown that the prisoners went together to the engrayer's, and the other parties concerned in providing the plates and the paper, and upon the final proceeding, when Bull ob tained possession of the plate upon which a portion of the note was engraved, they were both taken into cus tody by John Forrester and his brother, and upon searching Bull, several portions of a genuine note were - found in his possession, as well as the plate in question ; and upon searching the lodgings, a genuine one hundred dollar note was found, but some portions had been cut from it, and the omissions were supplied by the pieces of paper found upon the prisoner Bull. The Learned Counsel for the prisoners addressed the jury on their behalf, but did not call any witnesses. Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and the jury re tired at a quarter to seven o'clock. They were absent about ten minutes, when they again came into Court, and returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Mr. DOANE said, on behalf of the prisoner Bull, he believed the prosecutors would say that he was the least guilty party in the transaction. Mr. BODKIN could only say that it was believed that Schmidt was the principal in the transaction. Chief Justice Thp ". said he could only look at the the ethers had sticks. Before . going spt o the house, they all, by direction of the prisoner, pulled off their shirts, and they put them over their other clothes. The prisoner then blackened all their faces ; that he did with some soot which he had in his pocket. When they knocked at the door a person came to open it, and then Robinson and Thompson rushed into the house. One of them struck Mr. Marshall as they went in. The pri soner did not go in at all, as he said he was known there. He stayed outside to prevent any one from leaving the place. Witness seized Mr. Marshall by the throat and threw him over his knee. He took 225. from one of the prosecutor's pockets, and three sovereigns from another, and held him till Batchelor and Thompson came and helped to secure him. Batehelor held the man -servant, and he and Thompson tied Mr. Marshall's legs and hands and those of the man-ser • vant. Thompson demanded her money from the woman. She said she bad no money except an American cent, which she begged him to let her have, and he allowed her to keep it. The woman asked witness to turn her master over, as he lay in such a form as not to be able to breathe. He did accordingly turn him over on his side. There was a double barrelled gun in the house, which Robinson took, and told Mr. Marshall it was a pretty thing he had got there, at the same time adding that if he (Mr. Marshall) looked in his face he would blow his brains out. Thompson asked Mr. Marshall for his money. He replied that he had no more money, but Thompson said that he had, and would make him tell where it was. The short gun they had was broken in beating the man-servant. One of them, he thinks Thompson, struck him several times with it. Witness, Thompson, and Batchelor went up stairs. They there opened a small box. That was done with a small chisel. They bad five sovereigns and twenty-two shil lings from the house, and this money they divided. Wit ness carried the broken gun as they came away, threw the barrel over a bridge of the railway going into Howden, and threw the rest of the piece into a pond. They then came to York, and the prisoner went to his own home. Lonsdale, Debney, Cant, and Williams have all been transported for this offence. None of them were engaged in it. It was from a prisoner in gaol at Beverley that he heard of their being transported, and that each had been sent for 20 years. On cross-examination by Mr. BLANCHARD, the wit ness said that he was in that gaol on a charge of felony. Had also been in Northallerton gaol for felony. Had turned King's evidence several times before. Had been engaged, not in 20, but in about 12 or 13 robberies, and was in two robberies at Thirsk. Did not expect to be better, but rather to be worse, for giving all his evidence against others. Had informed against the prisoner only that innocent men should not suffer. Jane Holden was called for the purpose of corroborat ing Haytborn. Her evidence, however, did not connect the prisoner with the transaction, except so far as re lated to the prisoner hauing been at her house, as stated by the accomplice, and his leaving the house along with the others, in the manner he had spoken to. His LORDSHIP expressed his doubt whether this were sufficient corroborution of the man's testimony. There appeared to be reason to believe that the roan's account was not without foundation as to his having been one of those who had committed the deed. But all that might be well credited, and yet without sufficient corroboration of,that part of his evidence which went to connect another with the transaction. Tho Learned Judge, therefore, held that there had not been evidence enough to impli cate the prisoner in the robbery. The jury were so directed, for, although his Lordship told them they might convict if they thought it discreet to do so, on the unsupported evidence of an accomplice, it was a thing which juries were never in the habit of doing.—Acquitted. The Learned Counsel for the prosecuion informed his Lordship, that in consequence of the stat-ments made by the accomplice, the magistrates were anxious that this case should have full investigation. If what Haythorn said were the truth, undoubtedly the four other men transported were innocent of the charge they were tried upon. The prosecutor, on their trial, had identified two of them, and his female servant had identified the two others. They had said, too, that there were but four men in the house. If what the accomplice now re lated were the fact, they must have been wrong. He said there were himself and four men besides. From the number of details into which he had entered, and the particulars connected with the interior of the house, it appeared there must be truth in his story, if not to con vict the prisoner, at least to raise much doubt as to the conviction of the four men. His LORDSHIP expressed a view quite in accordance with Mr. Overend's remarks. RDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1845. it was the rule of the pier, that no person should pass outside the railing till the boat was secured to the dummy and the platform put out. Neither had been done on the occasion referred to. He knew the strings would be cut if he attempted to fasten the boat. Mr. Alderman Lucas was afraid the pier -master, though he obeyed his instructions, trespassed on the law when he ventured to pick and cull what boats the public should have access to. The river was a highway, and there was an ancient right of way to it. Why was the complainant to be put back:and told he'might go by the next boat. The first boat was probably the most con venient. to Mr. Friend, and he did not choose to wait for . the next. The C or p ora ti on up h e ld many conven i ences for the public at a great expense, and he presumed it would not take a different curse with this pier. The discontinuance of the wherries, and substitution.of steam boats, made a different means of approach necessary. The plying place was an ancient public right of way to the river. Was not the pier on the site of the plying place ? Mr. Pearson said it was not. The ancient right of way to the river remained, and could be used by the pubic as before; but the Alderman would remember that by the side of it there was a platform, or quay, for the landing of fruit for Farringdon-market. From a portion of this the pier projected; but it could still be used for the landing of fruit. Some time ago an accident occurred at a pier which had been erected at this bridge, and three or four persons lost their lives, while looking at a rowing mstch or some feat on the river. At other times several persons had fallen into the river between this pier and the boats, and lives had been lost. • The public called for protection; an arnoyance jury presented and removed the old pier, and the Corporation constructed the new pier at their own charge, the cost being from 3,0001. to 4,00/. When it was finished the superinten dents of the steam-boat companies were invited to a con ference with the Navigation Company; and they were told that the Corporation did not intend to take any toll per head, as had been demanded at the old Waterman's pier; they did not intend to ple,vide for payment of either interest or capital sunk in the ersction, but to appoint officers to enforce the necessary regulations for the protection of the public, and demand 6d. trom every boat calling at the pier, which money would be appropriated to the salaries of the officers, and the ne cessary repairs. If the sum was found to be greater than was necessary for these purposes, the charge would be reduced. All boats would have free and equal ac cess subject to this payment, and the other regulations of the committee. The several companies signed an agreement to this effect. A complaint was soon made to the committee of the unfair conduct of the Water man boats, and all parties were required to attend the committee. The Old Woolwich Company and the Waterman's Company were desired to retire together, and endeavour to arrange the order in which their boats should run in respect to time. They l e ft th e room , an d one party filed off to the right and the other to the left, without interchanging a word. When the committee thought they had taken time enough•to arrange the mat er, they were recalled. Of course they had done nothing, and the committee was compelled to decide be tween them. The committee found hat the Old Wool wich Company were under contract to leave the Hungerford . pier precisely at the hour and half hour, and allowing the boats to take ten minutes to drop down to the pier at Blackfriars, and five minutes to clear off, they allotted to the other Company the alternate quarters of an hour. In this way each boat would take from Blackfriars all the persons col lected in a quarter of an hour. The Waterman boats, however, soon relapsed into their unfair practices, by loitering about, and even lashing themselves to the bridg ~ to wait till the old Woolwich boats appeared in sight, and then dashing in carried off the half-hour's col lection of passengers. The Woolwich boats were thus unfairly deprived of their growing crop. The Water man Company were again summoned to the Navigation Committee, upon which they desired their contract to be cancelled, for that they would then stand remitted to their ancient rights. This was conceded, and they now contended that those ancient rights were a right of way over a new pier, to the building of which they had not contributed a farthing, and the use of which had been surrendered only conditionally to any one. They claimed to use the pier, without observing the regula tions for the protection of the public. Every right pressed to extreme became a wrong. The magistrates could not try the right. . Hollingsworth, the pier-gatekeeper, *as called and ex amined as to the notices that passengers could not em bark at that pier on th e W a t erman boats. There was not a City arms on the notice, but there was'on hi _coat collar, and he had a notice on each side of him. Mr. Newbon said he could answer Mr. Pearson on the question of right, but be was aware that this was not the place. A body of the police force had been taken to the pier, to the great danger of the public peace; and he called on the magistrates to protect the public from being obstructed and assaulted. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, after consulting Mr. Alder man Lucas, said he could have no doubt, as the com plainant saw the notice on Monday, he returned on Tuesday to try the right. Now, by the statute the ma gistrates were to forbear trying questions of right on charges of assault and battery, and he therefore dis missed the summons. Mr. Alderman Lucas said, where a number of omni buses plied at one place, as in Gracechurch-street, the keeping of times for starting was absolutely necessary to prevent obstructions, affrays, and confusion; and re gulation was equally necessary at piers on the Thames. 13(11V-ST - REET. the four hotel waiters, Bowen, Lake, Dancock, and Bates, who were charged on Monday with beinc , con cerned in the robbery of 1501. in Bank of Englanenotes, the property of the Rev. W. P. Lewis, of Cardiff; in Wales, were brought up for further examination. The prosecutor and each of the prisoners were repre sent, d by attorneys. The Her. W. Lewis now attended, and stated that h e _ _ put up at the Trafalgar Hotel, Charing-cross, on the 28 h of November last, in the afternoon of which day he dEposited in his portmanteau, in his bed-room, one 50Z note, dated October 6, 1845, No. 16,125 ; five 10!. notes, October, 1845, Nos. from 16,459 to 16,463 ; and ten 5/. notes, October 13,1845, Nos. from 2,313 to 2,322. He locked the portmanteau, and did not return again to his bed-room until ten o'clock, when he went up to bed. He then found, on opening his trunk (which he had some diffindty in doing), that the whole of the notes had been taken out, his bank-book, papers, and other things being left in the same condition. lle did n o t men ti on th e cir- cumstance that night, but, immediately on rising the next morning, apprised the landlords and it mates of the house of the robbery, but could hear nothing likely to lead to the recovery of his property. The confession of Lake, it will be remembered, on being questioned respecting the robbery by the head waiter of the hotel (under whom Bowen and Lake served as underwaiters) led to the apprehension of himself and Bowen as principals, and of the other two prisoners as the receivers of the notes. Clerks from the Bank of England and Messrs. Glyn's be.nk furnished the necessary information respecting the notes, and several other witnesses, tradesmen and public house keepers, spoke to the priforers Dancock and Bates having passed them at their houses. They were further remanded to Wednesday next. CLERKEN WELL. Three well-dressed young men, named Ramsay, Fuller, and Potter, were charged with creating a disturbance in Sadlers' Wells Theatre, and assaulting Reynolds, an officer of that establishment. The prisoners, who were under the influence of liquor, went into the theatre at nine o'clock on Tuesday night, and during the performance they attempted to force their way to the boxes, but the box-keeper seeing their condition, re fused to admit them. Reynolds came and asked them civilly to go out. They refused. Ramsay called him a liar, said he was a gentleman, and that he would give him his card. In consequence of the riot a mob collected outside the theatre of 150 persons. The prisoners repeatedly refused to go away peaceably, and when Reynolds insisted upon their doing so, Ramsay collared him and the other prisoners knocked hfm about. They ran up the box stairs, but at length the police came, and they were secured and removed to the station house. The prisoners ina penitent manner acknowledged their transgressions, and Mr. Combe fined them 10s. each. MARKET NE WS.-(Y ESTERDAY coluw-EXCHANGE Fair average supplies of English Wheat have come to hand during the present week, and the stands to-day were well filled with samples of that article. For all descriptions the demand was in a very depressed state at prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday last. In free foreign, as well as bonded Wheats, so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. The finest malting Barley was quite as dear, but all other kinds were a dull inquiry and the turn lower. Malt was in short supply and heavy demand, at barely late rates. The show of Oats was not large. The best qualities sold at full currencies. In ether kinds very little was doing. Both Beans and Peas might hare been purchased on easier terms.

The prisoners were then called up for judgment, and upon being asked whether they had anything to say in arrest of judgment, they made no answer. Chief Justice TINDAL, on passing sentence, said they had been convicted of a most grave and serious offence— that of forging the notes of the country to which they belonged, no doubt with a view to their own benefit, but to the injury of the community at large. If they had been successful it was difficult to say what might have been the injury to individual and to general credit, and as a warning to others, he felt it to be his duty to pass upon them the full penalty fixed by the law, which was that they be transp , rted for 14 years. Mr. BODKIN then applied for the costs. He sail that he did so formally, at present, because he believed that when an answer was received to a communication that bad been made to the Norwegian Government, it would be found that they would not receive the expenses. The COURT granted the application. IVEIT COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) John Rafferty, indicted for tendering base coin, a half crown and one shilling, at the Horse and Groom, White chapel, and at Mrs. Hockeney's, Morgan-street, was fuund Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. James Macread y, indicted for tendering a bad half-crown, pleaded guilty, end was sentenced to six month's imprison ment in the House of Correction. Margaret Cullom, indicted for passing bad money on th ree several occasions oipayment for goods, had of Mrs. Rivet, Sydney-road, was found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. James North was indicted for having in his possessior had coin, and endeavouring to pass it. In consequence of infor mation given he was taken up on suspicion. James Stupps said he had known the prisoner for several years, and in .November last went in with him to a public house, where they had something to drink. While drinking the prisoner had a bad half-crown in his hand; holding it up he said he had made away with some of these. These, said the witness to him, what do you do with these, and where do you get them ? Prisoner said he got them in Westminster, at the back of the White Horse, and got a simple girl out of the Vinegar-yard to pass them for him. Constable 136 G took the prisoner into custody on suspi cion. When searched five bad half-crowns were found on the prisoner, secreted in the lining of his coat, and wrapped in folds of paper, so as to prevent f r i c ti on. The jury found him Guilty. The Learned RECORDER, after remarking on the aggra vated nature of his offence, standing next in order to the false coiner himself, sentenced bhn to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. William Smith, indicted for uttering base money on three successive nights, in payment for goods bought of Mrs. Hall, Great Suffolk-street, Surrey, was found guilty, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. George Whitton was indicted for tendering a bad shilling, and afterwards a bad half-crown, to James Battens, at the Archer public-house, New-cut. The prosecutor said, the prisoner on the first night asked for a glass of beer, and tendered in payment a half-crown, which prosecutor received, and gave him in change two old shillings. When he was about to give him the fivepence of copper, the rest of his change, prisoner said, "Stop, give me back my half-crown, I have got a penny." He had his half crown returned him, and he put down on the counter what he affected to be prosecutor's two shillings, oneold shilling above a new one, the undermost being had. He returned a second time, and made offer of a bad half.crown, when hewas taken into custody. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Field, the Inspector of the Mint, who attended on the cases, said the coin was made of a soft, fusible metal, electro plated with silver, which presents a whiter appearance than the genuine cein, but an appearance very likely to impose upon, on account of the sharp, well-defined outline the (1 , 0 presents; but it is lighter than the genuine coin by one third. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. BLACRFRIARS PIER—WARP: v. KINCIIIN.—As early as len o'clock yesterday morning a considerable number of persons connected with the steam-beat companies were in attendance at the justice-room, in expectation that some cases would be brought before the Lord Mayor relative to the proceedings which are creating so much public excitement at Blackfriars-pier. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen Musgrove sat to ad judicate. Mr. Ryland, the senior City Pleader, and the City Solicitor, were present, together with Mr. Bedford, the Chairman, and Mr. Hall, Mr. Cot:der, Mr. Bower, Mr. Joyce, Mr. Charles, &c. members of the Naviga tion Committ ee . M r . Newt;on, the Secretary to the Waterman's Littam-packet Company, attended on behalf of that Company, for whom Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, had been retained. As Mr. Clarkson was obliged to conduct an important prosecution at the Old Bailey, the weight of the defence lay upon the shoulders of Mr. Newbon. The Chairman of the Waterman's Steam packet Company was also present. The interest excited • was extreme. Mr. Ryland said he bad the honour to appear before his Lordship under the 52d of George 111., which autho rised the Lord Mayor to adjudicate in all matters affect ing obstructions in the Thames, according to the provi sions of the 50th of George 111., under the 16th section of which an information had been laid by the pier -master of Blackfriars-pier against the captain of the Waterman steamer, NO. 8, for having, in the language of the Act of Parliament, so managed his vessel as to impede the regular passage of other vessels in the river. He should prove, to the satisfaction of the magistrates, that, on the 16th of December, the captain of No. 8 steamer drew up alongside of the pier at Blackfriars, and, apparently by preconcert wit!: the master of another boat belonging to the same Company, and also lying by the side of the pier, effectually blocked up the gang way, so as to prevent all access to the pier from other boats, which, by observing the regu lations passed for the protection of the public, had a right, at stated times, to land and embark pas sengers at the pier. It would be proved in evidence that the Syren and Niobe, two other steamers, the one going up and the other coming down the river, arrived at the pier, with several passengers desirous to land, and that they were effectually prevented by the Waterman's steamers, which occupied the whole length of the pier— sometimes mak:teg a feint to leave the pier, but, the mo ment the other boats attempted to get in, backing their vessels so as to keep the others out altogether. Tbat was clearly such an obstruction of the navigation of the river as was contemplated by the Act. The Niobe and tee Syren were prosecuting their voyage from their starting to their arrival-place at the time when they were thus obstructed, and to impede them in their pas sage to the pier was as clearly a violation of the provi sions of the statute as if they had been impeded in any other part of the stream. He understood that the soli citor for the defendant would attempt to bring into the case matter which had nothing whatever to do with it. It was pretended that the Waterman's boats had a right to ply at the pier. If they had any such right, or if they fancied they had any such right, they ought to assert it in a proper manner, and in a proper court, and not, by obstructing the river Thames, expose the public to danger and inconvenience, as was now the case. That the Legielature did not intend that the Thames should be made the scese of contests of such a nature, was very apparent from the omission in the Aet of clauses which, in statutes relating to tre:pane3, and assaults especialiy and in words, excluded the jurisdiction of the magis trates in all cases where it appeared that they took place under circumstanes which involved questions of right or title, either real or assumed. There were no such words in the present case, and the only real ques tion before the Court was, whether the passage of the Niobe and Syren had been impeded, and whether th e obstruction hal been occasioned by the defendants. The Corporation had no vindictive feelings against the Wa terman's Company, or against the defendant : all that was required was, that the Waterman's boats shculd ob serve the regulations, and keep the agreement into which they had entered. Mr. Ryland here read the agree ment, which was, he said, signed by Mr. Newbon, as secretary or solicitor to the Company, and bound the Company to observe all such regulations as the Naviga tion Committe e had made, or sh ou l d hereafter make It further st ip u l a t e d th a t t h e y should pay sixpence eac h for every time they stopped at the pier. That was to constitute a fund for the payment of the pier -master and others in charge, and for such repairs. as necessity might require. It appeared that the Corporation erected the pier at a cost of nearly 4,0001, in substitution of an old floating pier, which was so faulty in material and strut ture that persons were constantly in danger who landed or embarked there, and on two or three occasions fatal accidents had ensued. The Corporation did not seek to gain a shilling by the pier. They made the outlay for the accommodation of the public, and they endeavoured to afford equal accommodation to all, but, unless they maintained the regulations, nothing but confusion would prevail. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. Thomas Joyce, who stated that he was a member ! of the Court of Common Council and of the Navigation Committee, and a large shareholder in the Waterman's Steam-packet Company. He was on board the Water man's steamer No. Bat the time stated. There was also another of the same Company's boats (No. 6) alongside the pier at the same time. They continued there up wards of ten or twelve minutes, and occupied the whole length of the pier, to that no other boat could get in. The Syren and Niobe shortly after came up, but they were effectually excluded from the pier, and, after hay ing waited some time, they continued their voyage with out being able to land or embark passengers. Upon their departure the Waterman's boats also left the pier. In his cross-examination by Mr. Newbon, Mr. Joyce said he had put himself forward in this case, if possible, to terminate the disgraceful proceedings which were going on, an d w hi c h wou l d prove s er i ous ly d e t r i mental to the interests o f th e s h are h o ld ers , w h os e tr ue i n t erest required that as much as possible should be done to in crease, by increased accommodation, the means of cheap and expeditious transit on the river, and not by obstruct ing and impeding each other. The agreement entered into by Mr. Newbon on behalf of the Company, had been put an end to by the Corporation in consequence of the infringement of the regulations. Mr. Newbon called for the order of the Navigation Committee prohibiting the Company from using the pier. Mr. Ryland said that no notice had been given to pro duce the order. It was, of course, in the Company's possession, and if Mr. New bon wanted the entry in the Committee's books, it was in the room, and might be read by that gentleman as part of his evidence. Mr. Newbon submitted that the whole question turned upon the order. It was necessary in such a case that the whole proceeding should be conducted in a legal and impartial manner, and it was not because the Navigation Commtnitee chose to make an order, that such order must necessarily be such as the law recognised. The LORD MAYOR—I do not consider that the ques tion before me has anything at all to do with the order. I shall have nothing whatever to do with what Mr. New bon is aiming at, but proceeed to hear the evidence as to the obstruction on the river. Mr. Russell (examined by Mr. Ryland) said he vv ou board 449 vessel referred to. Qtr boat could no* A Fel to the pier to discharge its passengers in consequence of the defendant's boat and another belonging to the same Company being alongside. Our boat was detained upwards of ten minutes more than she need have been had it not been for the obstruction, in consequence of which he was too late for the railroad train by which it had been his intention to go. Richard Wheeler and George Cruise, captains of the Niobe and Syren steamers, confirmed the testimony of the former witnesses as to the alleged obstruction, and stated that the two Waterman's boats, Nos. 8 and 6, used every exertion to prevent them from landing or taking in passengers. Mr. Nen bon declared that, if the captains of the Waterman's boats endeavoured to accomplish anythin g of the kind, they acted in disobedience to the orders of the directors. He then called upon the Lord Mayor to look strictly into the Act of Parliament, which stated that the party liable to penalty must have been at the place without lawful excuse—what evidence was there to show any pretence for alleging that the defendant was there without lawful excuse ? He could prove that the defendant had been exercising a right, and had been infringing no law and no regulation. The magistrate could in such a case know nothing except what would be proved forenally and judicially before him, and the defendant claimed, as a right, an adherence, upon the part of the prosecution, to the established rules of evidence. Mr. Ryland declared that in the Act upon which he was proceeding there was not one word about lawful excuse." The LORD MAYOR, after having conferred with Alder man Musgrove, repeated that he should consider nothing but the obstruction to the navigation, the charge under Cie Act of Parliament. He had nothing to do with the right of the Corporation to erect the pier, and the right of the Steam-boat Company. These rights they must contest before another tribunal. He had but one duty to perform, which was, to preserve the public peace, and to prevent .the navigation of the river from being ob structed. Mr. Ware, the pier -master, who laid the information, was then examined, and he confirmed, to the fullest ex tent, the evidence of the former witnesses. The LORD MAYOR—It has been proved to my satis faction that the defendant in this case did wilfully im pede the passage of the Syren and the Niobe, and I, therefore, fine him in the mitigated penalty of 51. Mr. Newbon said he understood that the Act gave him the power of appeal, but he wanted some little time to consider whether he should take that course. Mr. Goodman (the Chief Clerk) said the latter Act required that the penalty should be forthwith paid, or the defendant should be committed to the House of Cor rection. The City Solicitor said, as one of the statutes under which the information had been laid gave the right of appeal, he did not wish to act with severity against the defendant by pressing for his commitment. He would like Mr. Newbon undoubtedly either to pay the mosey in fourteen days, or to appeal. The undertaking was at once given. Mr. Newbon, who complained of so great an array of legal talent and personal influence as had appeared against his unassist e d a d vocacy , t h en state d t h at the Company he represented laboured under very considerable hardships from the course the Corporation had pursued. They had favoured the rival company by alio% ing them to ply at the new pier at the precise period when the Waterman's boats had been in the habit of calling at the old pier. He denied the right of the Corporation to erect the new pier and to make these regulations. The LORD MAYOR—I do not sit here to try the ques tion of right. The City Solicitor trusted his Lordship would permit Mr. Newbon to state his grievances, whatever th e y might be. That learned gentleman had; indulged very freely in his observations upon the Navigation Committee upon a former occasion at the Mansion-house, when no one was present to answer him. It would have borne a more manly aspect if his learned friend had apprised him (the City So icitor) of his intention to cast these imputa tions upon the City authorities. He would have found him (the City Solicitor) prepared with an answer. The City Solicitor hoped Mr. Newbon would be allowed to proceed, as it was not improbable that a little discussion might lead to a termination of those disgraceful conflicts which were day by day repeated, in consequence of the attempts of this Company to violate the wholesome regu lations of the Corporation, and to establish for them selves a close monopoly b 3 preventin g oth er vesse l s f rom approaching th e pier. The object of the Waterman's Steam-boat Company throughout the affair was quite apparent. Before the erection of-the new pier, boats of a large capacity. like the other Woolwich boats, could not get alongside the pier. The consequence was, that the Waterman's Company had established a close monopoly. They had been accustomed to go to the old pier as often as, and no oftener than, their own conve nience dictated, without reference to the accommodation of the public residing in that locality. Sometimes they went every twenty minutes, at other times every half hour, and sometimes only once each hour. The other company started from Hungerford pier regularly every halfhour, and Mr. Newbon's Company wanted, by run ning their own boats alongside, in the manner the wit nesses had detailed, to drive their competitors out of the field, and so restore the close monopoly which had existed in the days of their own inconvenient and unsafe land ing-place. Mr. Newbon said that Mr. Peerson's statement was founded altogether in error. The Waterman's Company only wanted to have an opportunity of keeping their own time at the pier, of which privilege the Navigation Committee had deprived them, by giving it to the Wool wich Company. He denied the right of the Corpora tion, and desired to have an opportunity of trying it, if the Corporation would bring an action against any of the officers of the Company. The City Solicitor said he would at once put that statement to the test. He could but condemn, in the strongest terms, the conduct of the advisers of the Com pany, in endeavouring to effect their objects by force, and by that means placing their more humble instruments in a situation which rendered them liable to fine and irn p-isonment for acts for which their principals ought to be made amenable. Mr. Newbon—That is what I want to try. Don't be alarmed about the men we employ ; they shall be suffi ciently protected. The City Solicitor—You, Mr. Newbon, were, I under stand, on board one of the Waterman steamers, exciting and urging the passengers and crew to invade the pier in spite of the force then prepared to resist the aggression. - If you really wish to try the question of right with the Cor poration, and you will make an appointment to come up in the steamer to the pier in half-an-hour. or at any time you please, I will be there to receive you, and if you put your foot on the pi er , I pl e d ge m y wo rd that you shall meet with no resistance, but, within an hour afterwards, an action shall be brought against you personally to put the question of right in course of trial. Mr. Newbon—No ; I decline to do so. I offered it a fee days ago ; but now I shall bring an action myself for the treatment I then received. The Chairman of the Navigation Committee said that if the Waterman's Company really suffered any incon venience, it was their own fault for not coming before the Committee to state what it was they desired. Per haps some accommodation might be devised which would suit the convenience of ell rarties. Mr. Charles, jun., the Chairman of the Company, said the directors were anxious to confer with the Naviga tion Committee, and wrote to them to that effect, but received no reply. Mr. Joyce said he had himself made a communication to Mr. Charles, which, if attended to, might have pre vented ail the confusion that had occurred. - As a large shareholder in the Company, he felt that his pro perty was being injured by these contests, and was anxious for their termination. The Navigation Coin inittee would meet the next day at twelve o'clock, and if the Company wished to confer with the Committee, it would be easy for them to attend. The City Solicitor said he was afraid that would not suit either his Learned Friend, Mr. Newbon, nor him self.—(A laugh.) The present bellicose aspect of affairs promised a plentiful crop of law suits, actions, indictments, and law proceedings in all forms. If their clients got to ther and talked over the matter as gentlemen and men of busin ss, it was to be apprehended that these suits would vanish into thin air.—(Laughter.) It was very well to vapour about trying the question by a case in the superior courts, and very tender and sentimental to express pity for the poor men who were put in jeopardy . 14 0 , the violent course now adopted ; but it was quite obvious that that pity could not be sincere on the part of himself or his Learned Friend, or means might be readily found to give effect to their generous and judi cious feelings upon the matter. If his Learned Friend - would permit his very respectable clients, the directors, to meet the Navigation Committee next day, and if he would do the City Solicitor the honour to pair off with him into the next room, where the preliminary arrange ments for the actions against Mr. Newbon and himself might be'settled, he made no doubt that their respective clients would improve the opportunity and end their dis putes, and they might rely upon it, there would be no litigation amongst the inferior actors in the scene. , Mr. Newbon did not assent to the proposal, and an appointment was made for hearing the other informa tions on a future day. The LORD MAYOR then expressed his determination. by every means at his command, to preserve the public peace, and, in case of any violation of the law, he was prepared to sit and hear the cases as often and as long as circumstances might render it necessary. , GUILDHALL. Thursday Robert Ware, the pier-master at the Blaetc friars steam-boat pier, was summoned before Aldermen Lucas and Sidney, for assaulting Mr. Friend, of Belmont terrace, Vauxhall Mr. Bedford, the Chiairman, and several member, of the Navigation Committee of Common Council, attended, with the City solicitor, on behalf of the defendant, and Mr. Newbon, the solicitor to the Waterman's Steam boat Company, appeared on behalf of the complainant. Mr. Friend stated, that on Tuesday he went to Black friars to embark from the free pier. The Waterman N. , . 6, came alongside, and witness and some others at tens pted to get on board. They got within the railing next to the boat, but were roughly pushed back by the defer, dant and the policemen. He could have stepped on board if he had been allowed. Defendant said he was siuthoresed by the Lord Mayor to prevent him from going oil board the Waterman'a boats. As he was re tiring somebody called out that. he could go by another boat in a short time. Cross-ex,:mined by the City Solicitor—Saw a printed notice on M0n...1.4Y that no person would be allowed to be embarked or lam!" at that pier by the Waterman's steamers n , but it had . o signature or printer's name, and he did not know what authority could be given to it He was not '.;lred what bolea he was going by on that day.
