He had pleaded guilty of the actual posting of the very notices, of which he gave information to the police that he knew the parties who were guilty, and was prepared to charge them. They would prove upon his own statement that he was a person who wandered about twenty-two coun ties of Ireland, having no axed residence and no occu pation. It would be clear to their minds that he 'did this in order to implicate men by false charges • Go vernment were very anxious that persons of th a t de scription should be punished in an exemplary man ner ; and they would then give them evidence to sa tisfy them beyond a doubt of the truth of the fact stated. Constable Thomas Judge sworn and examined—ls stationed in Fermoy. Recollects the prisoner coming to the barracks. He told him that he was after tra velling 22 counties, that he had no residence, and that he ,was in the habit of getting a livelihood by giving information ; he also told him that he had charged a man in Waterford ; the man had since been found innocent ; the paper (they were tacked to the indictment and handed to the constable) pur ported to be pass words and rules ofunlawful societies; he told witness that such papers might be found in the houses of men of the names of Barry, Connell, and others ; they could not be found, he added, unless he himself went with them ; the inspector then began to suspect him; he complained of a sore foot, and was in the act of removing them from his shoe, when witness perceived them in his hand and seized them. There were in them the names of the inhabitants of some of the houses in which, according to his infor mation, they would be found. When discovered, he said they were copies of papers which he had found in other houses. The Jury immediately found him guilty. The usual sentence of vagrancy —transportation for seven years, if he did not find bail for his regular conduct—was then passed by his Lordship ; the sentence of seven years' transportation for the crime to which he had pleaded guilty, to take effect after the conditional one be undergone. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.—A tall, elderly, military-looking man, giving the name of Bichen Hilton, who stated that he was . a Frenchman,Airo ceeded to read to Sir J. Pine, the sitting alderman, a sort of speech from a written paper. He commenced by saying that he was well known to the French Government and the French Embassy; that in France he was, in 1830, colonel of the 65th regiment of the line ; that he raised at his own ex pense, and paid from his own pocket, the two regiments called Voluntaires de la Charte, and in other respects contributed to the downfal of Charles X., and the establishing Louis Philippe on the throne of France, who had thus become his (complainant's) .debtor to the amount of 6,0001. Louis Philippe was well aware that he had aided in levelling his road to the steps of the throne, and at first duly acknowledged it; but when he got more firmly established he forgot the claim, and on pressing for it he was banished. Alderman PIRIE wished complainant to discon tinue reading, and say briefly what he wanted. Complainant—A warrant to apprehend Louis Philippe, as soon as he lands in this country, for a debt of honour, amounting to 6,0001. Alderman PIRIE—The King of the French will not be here for a month; but we cannot interfere in the matter. You must apply to a civil court. The applicant then left the Court, saying he would take the magistrate's advice. GUILDHALL. A RIOT IN THE WEST LONDON UNION.—Five stout, able-bodied young fellows, named Dench, Robinson, Bowes, Longhorn, and ackson, were placed this morning, before Alderman John Johnson, on a charge of having assaulted the board of guardians, and Mr. Thomson, the master, and with endeavouring to excite the other inmates to insubordination. Wm. Thomson, the master of the West London workhouse, stated , that while proceeding to inflict a punishment upon Dench, by order of the board of guardians, who were then sitting, he resisted so violently, and called for the assistance of his brother paupers, which was given so readily, that the board, hearing the noise in the passage and yard, came out and assisted him (the master), when they were vio lently attacked, and some of them thrown down and kicked ; stones were also thrown at them by the boys, and the women endeavoured to get out of their wards to get down at them. The doors, however, were locked, and they could only get into the galleries and upon the stairs. Mr. Buckmaster, the chairman, said that hearing the noise Dench made in resisting the board and him self, came out to render them assistance, when they were set upon by the other prisoners. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON—What was the offence committed by Dench, and the punishment you had ordered him P—He had been behaving very impro perly during the time of service in the ehapel, and he Nuc r prOcUur, conenence, to twenty four ance. There were several threats made of " doing for me" particularly, and the state of insubordination in the workhouse is such that the guardians are in danger of their lives in entering. Several members of the board gave similar evidence, one of whom had been kicked very dangerously, evi dently with a felonious intent to do him serious injury. The prisoners were each ordered to find bail in 201. to answer at the sessions, and failing such bail, to be committed to prison. CLERKENWELL. John Mahoney was charged with violently assault ing Mr. Thomas Costello and Mary, his wife, resid ing at 14, Cross-street, Hatton-garden. Mrs. Costello, who is within a few days of her accouchement, had several contusions on her face, and her left eye was almost imperceptible from inflamma tion arising from the injuries. The husband likewise bore evidence of severe maltreatment. Between nine and ten o'clock on the previous night, the complainants were walking down Hatton-garden towards their own residence, when a little boy with a jug of porter in his hand attempted to pass between them. Mr. Costello pushed the boy away, but not harshly, when the prisoner, who was standing by a lamp-post, perfectly sober, ran over and hit Mr. Cos tello on the nose with his clenched fist. Mrs. Cos tello seeing the blood flowing from her husband, and confiding in her sex and delicate situation, threw her self between him and the prisoner, but the man struck her to the ground, and again attacked her hus band; she arose, and again attempted to interpose, but the prisoner beat her so violently, that the blood flowed from her mouth and left eye. A policeman fortu nately came up'and secured the prisoner, who attempted to escape. A shopkeeper, into whose house in Cross-street Mrs. Costello was removed after the occurrence, de clared that he was terrified at her condition. She was almost insensible, and covered with blood. The prisoner, who could not say a word in his de fence, was committed to the House of Correction for fourteen days by Mr. Conibe. He refused to pay any fine. A FEMALE SAILOR.—Sarah Bignell, a ' female about 17, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cotting ham, charged with stealing three half-crowns from her father, a sub-sorter in the General Post-office. The father stated that about fifteen menths ago he obtained her a situation as lady's-maid in a family in Belgrave-square. While there she formed a connexion with some man, who induced her to leave her situation about three months ago, when she returned home. She refused to enter service again, but, until a month ago on the previous night, behaved at home with pro priety. In the middle of the night in question she absconded, taking with her all her clothing, and break ing open a box, from which she took three half crowns. He saw nothing more of her until the pre vious night, when she called in male attire to bid fare well to her brother. His son's mistress, knowing she had absconded, detained her until he gave her into custody. Gravestock, M 7, said that when she was appre hended she was dressed as a sailor, and her hair was cut quite short. She said she was going to Italy in a vessel about to sail that morning from the London Docks. The father stated that he believed the prisoner had been seduced by some villain who wanted to entice her to leave her friends and:country. Mr. COTTINGHAM asked the prisoner what reason she could assign for absconding from her situation and her father's house, and assuming male attire ? Prisoner replied, that she had been living with a mid shipman, with whom she was going to sea in his vessel. Mr. COTTINGHAM asked her where she had been for the last month ?—Prisoner answered, " I shan't tell you." The father said that that was all the information he could get from her. She was extremely obstinate. Prisoner stated that she was with the midshipman on the previous evening in Ratcliffe-highway. She refused, however, to state his name, or the name of the vessel. She became acquainted with him when she lived in Belgrave-square about fifteen months ago. He induced her to leave her situation and her father's roof. Mr. COTTINGHAM told her that she was on the road to ruin, if not ruined already. She had better return, to her father's home, and break up her acquaintance with the midshipman, who merely wanted to take her to some foreign country, and leave her to want and misery. He asked her whether she would return home ?—She replied in the negative. She intended to go with the midshipman. Mr. COTTINGHAM said he should take care she did not.

His client was given into custody; he admitted he was not detained long—nevertheless the injury had been severe. Mr. Smith had been singularly advised in seeking shelter under the Metro politan Police Act, and the pleas on record could not be proved. He did not ask for heavy damages, but such as would convince the world, long after this affair would be generally forgotten, that his client, a respectable young gentleman, who was just rising into life, should not be stamped as a felon. It was a disgrace that the criminal code should be abused in that manner. " I am sure," remarked Mr. Creasy, " that in this case the jury will not give slight and nominal damages— not such as will give a tacit belief that my client is guilty. As a junior counsel he threw himself on the indulgence of the Court, and claimed attention while he narrated the facts. His client had been taken into custody, and he claimed the protection of the law for so gross an outrage. His client, in obeying his father's commands, had been imprisoned and insulted, and he hoped the jury would give such damages as the case demanded. The Counsel then called A gentleman from the Alderman's office objected to the Learned Counsel's reading partial statements. If the judgment were referred to at all, it ought to be read consecutively, and not in a garbled manner.

This was an application by summons on the at torney for the detaining creditor, to show cause why the prisoner should not be discharged out of the cus tody of the Marshal of the Queen's Prison, under the 58th section of the Act to amend the law of insol vency and execution, on the ground that the debt for which he was detained did not exceed the sum of 201. Mr. Commissioner PANE said he could stop no statement made in open Court, but he hoped that the Learned Counsel would refer only to what really bore on the case. After a long discussion between Mr. Chambers and Mr. James respecting the propriety of bringing the case before the Learned Commissioner, as the amount in question was a judgment debt, the former gentle man contending that it could not be expunged, and the latter that the mode in which it had been con tracted gave the Hon. Commissioner the power of doing so. Mr. Commissioner FANS said that he would ap point a day of meeting to examine fully into the case, if the bankrupt would undertake to pay the expenses so incurred.

William Rolls, police-constable, who stated that he was fetched from Fenchurch-street to Mincing-lane. There were present in Mr. Smith's office three other gentlemen when Mr. Griffin was given into custody ; gave him in charge for taking books from the count ing-house ; took him to Tower-street station. The charge was taken down, which occupied seven or eight minutes, but on Mr. Griffin promising to give up the books, the charge was withdrawn. James Griffin, father of the plaintiff, in his exami nation, stated, I resided at that time at Bowling green-street, Kennington. I was connected with Messrs. - Knox and Smyth in bringing out a paper called the London Journal of Commerce. I became acquainted with Mr. Thomas Smith, and have had frequent conversations with that gentleman on the subject of newspapers; this ultimately led to the drawing up and signing the agreement produced. The three papers being pretty much of the same character, the expense of composition would be com paratively trifling for each, the profit for all producing 7001. or 8001. per annum. Mr. Smith agreed in the estimate we had formed, saying that the junction of the three papers would yield 121. per week, or thereabouts. On the faith of that agreement the type, amounting to 6001. or 7001., was handed over to Mr. Smith. The books were also sent to Mr. Smith's office. We were to pay per week for the use of the office. Applications were made from time to time by Mr. Knox and myself to see the accounts of the three papers, but without success. This went on for seven or nine months. We ascer tained the books had been sent to Mr. Smith's house at Bow. My son did not go with me on the sth of June. He was there a few minutes previous. I took possession of all the books, telling my son to assist in carrying them off. I believe there were eight or nine in all, two of them belonging exclusively to Mr. Smith, though I considered these might be necessary for the purpose I had in view. Mr. Burton was in Mr. Smith's counting-house (our counting-house, I mean) when he took them away. Mr. Burton said he must now go and inform Mr. Smith. When he was given into custody, Mr. Berry was there, and there were some compositors up stairs—as we appre hended Mr. Smith would not bring out the paper. On cross-examination he said, " Now I will not give up the books ; he would enter into no compromise whilst in custody ;" but promised to attend before the Lord Mayor, out of respect to him, but not as a felon. He took every book he could find—cash-book, trust, and other books, and took them all to Leadenhall street. He took them to Mr. Hartley's, and his son Roger assisted him in taking away the books. George Evans, sergeant of police, produced the charge-book. The entry was as follows :—" James and Roger K. Griffin, of Belvidere-cottage, Erith, brought in by William Rolls, charged by Thomas Smith, of 43, Mincing-lane, with taking from his office and detaining certain books. Charge withdrawn by complainant—the defendant promising to give them up." This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS addressed the jury for the defendant. _ Mr. Justice MAULS said he had already made orders ex parte on affidavit that the debts were under 201., leaving the parties to apply to the Court out of which the judgment was obtained, if there was any fraud. Several objections were urged on the part of the detaining creditor. The prisoner was in custody on a judgment obtained in the Palace Court, to which Court he should have applied, as the, creditor could then show that he came within the exceptions of the 59th section, and was not a party entitled to his dis charge. His LORDSHIP decided that he could entertain the application. It was then urged that circumstances could be shown to prevent the prisoner being discharged; the Act contemplated that at " any time" it could be shown that a party was not entitled as a matter of course to his liberation. Mr. JAMES would guarantee that the expenses should be so paid. After a desultory conversation, and many technical objections on the part of Mr. Chambers, the 30th of August was fixed for hearing as to whether Ridler's debt should be expunged, the lion. Com missioner adding that he only fixed that day on con dition of Mr. Ashurst (the remaining creditor who proved upon the estate, and who was friendly to the bankrupt) undertaking to pay the expenses incurred by that procedure. Mr. JAMES craved the Court's protection for the bankrupt, which was granted him for that day. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, Aug. 2. (From the Morning Advertiser.) [Numerous inquiries have been made why the fol owing cases were not reported in our journal in due Lime after their occurrence ? In answer to which we can only say, at present, that the gentleman whose duty it was to forward us accounts never furnished us with any report thereof; into the cause of which omission we shall inquire. The following are abridged from yesterday's London Mercantile Journal] (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) GRIFFIN V. SMITH. Mr. Platt and Mr. Creasy appeared for the plain tiff; Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Edwin James for the defendant. This was an action brought by James Griffin, many years reporter on the Morning Herald newspaper, against Thomas Smith,printer, of 42 and 43, Mincing lane, London, for false imprisonment. Mr. PLATT opened the case by stating that James Griffin was one of three partners connected with the London Journal of Commerce, which paper was much in debt, and the defendant had in the early part of the business entered into an arrangement to purchase it. That and several other offers went off, but on the Bth August last, an agreement was entered into, by which the three papers were to be blended, viz., the Austra lasian Record, the Mercantile Journal, and the London Journal of Commerce. This agreement was signed by Robert Knox, on the part of himself and his part ners, Smyth and Griffin, and by Thomas Smith, on the part of his son-in-law, William Hoperaft. A deed was prepared, but not agreed to, and the types were removed to the defendant's premises. Mr. Smith had been in the habit of taking his books home to Bow, and as Mr. Griffin had a right to inspect those books, he went one day to Mr. Smith's office, in Mincing- COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 14. lane, and seeing them on the desks took them home (Before Mr. Commissioner FAN R.) for inspection.

The wrongs On the part of the prisoner it was contended that such circumstances could only bp shown on the trial of the cause, and that, at all events, the words " that it at any time it shall appear to the Judge who shall try the cause," could not have reference to his Lord ship, as the action was brought in the Palace Court. It was contra insisted that the words of the 59th section had reference to subsequent application; the provision mentioned, besides the improper contract ing of a debt, other points, such as a fraudulent transfer of property, which could not be proved on a trial ; and further, the concluding part of the clause showed that such applications could be heard " whe ther or not execution against the goods" had been issued. Mr. Justice MAULS held that he could make an order of discharge, which he made accordingly. It is understood that application will be made to the Court out of which the judgment was obtained to bring the party under the 59th section, in order that he may be retaken. The point is an impor tant one. _ Several applications were made ex parte on affida vits, and entertained by his Lordship, leaving the parties open to their remedy if the discharges had been fraudulently procured. By the decision in the above case it will be seen that an application can be made to a Judge at Chambers on an execution of "any Court," the words of the 59th section being " to a Judge of one of her Majesty's superior Courts of Law at Westminster, or to the Court in which such judgment shall have been obtained." Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up, and said that it vv • 1 1 11 11- •••••• r. notice that actions often arose out of quarrel; in re spect to partnership. The agreement showed that the concern was to have been carried on by Mr. Smith, the types and accounts to be kept by him, and he was to receive the proceeds. The father of the plaintiff alleges that he could not get at the books to inspect them—he was to pay part of the rent, and therefore might have had an opportunity of looking at them at the office—in stead of this he takes the violent resolution of going to Mr. Smith's, and, together with his son, carries off all he could lay his hands upon. Mr. Smith comes home, and finding what had been done (they refusing to give up the books), gave both the father and son in charge. The Learned Judge condemned the prac tice of placing on the record pleadings that could not be justified; certainly it was a case of great aggra vation, although a felony had not been established, yet the conduct of the plaintiffs was most violent. They had carried off all the books, and he apprehended that if the defendant brought his action against them he would recover damages. In taking them into cus tody all he wanted was to get his books which plain tiffs had taken away. The Judge further remarked that it was discreditable to the attorneys who brought these actions to harbour books which had been un lawfully carried off, and some of which had never been disputed to be the private property of Mr. Smith, and they therefore could have no pretext for retain ing them. The jury, under the direction of the Judge, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, is. No application was made on bhalf of the plaintiff to the Judge to certify for costs.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster, Aug. 13. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIBF BARON.) Thomas Hitchon was indicted for a burglary in the house of John Bulcock, at Burnley, on the 7th of May last. Mr. Thomson appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Wil kins for the defence. ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. It appeared that, on the evening in question, after Mr, Bulcock had shut up his house, and was about retiring to rest, he received a visit from four of the police, who informed him that they had reason to believe that an attempt would be made to rob his house that night. The officers were accordingly disposed so as to keep atch in the different parts of the house. Two were posted at the back, and two in front in one of the par lours. The lights were extinguished, and the house pre sented the usual appearance of the inmates having re tired to rest. Matters had remained in this way for some hours, when the officers who were on the watch in front heard some one quietly forcing the catch of one of the windows in a room at the other side of the hall. Some one appeared to have effected an entrance, for footsteps, as of a person without his shoes, were almost immediately heard in the hall. The noise of lighting a lucifer match was then heard, and the front door was stealthily opened, when a second party was heard to enter. The robbers approached the door of the room where the officers were lying perdu, and tried to open th 3 door, but one of the officers pressed down the latch, and prevented their entrance. Voices were then heard in consultation as to the course to be taken, and while they were doubting whether they should force the door or go on to the kitchen, the officers rushed out upon them. The light was immediately extinguished in the scuffle which ensued, but one of the officers seizing both the intruders, pinned them against the wall. He was, however, unfortunately attacked by his fellow officer, who, in the dark, mistook him for one of the robbers, and the result of the contest was, that one of them escaped, having struck his captor a severe blow with a small crowbar, and wounded him in the head with a chisel, which was subsequently found in the hall, and which seemed, from the marks on the window, to have been the instrument used in effecting an entrance. One of the robbers, however, remained in custody, and proved to be the prisoner at the bar. His face was blackened, and he was without hat or shoes. Near him, however, was found a hat belonging to one of the officers, which had been left in another part of the house. On finding that escape was impossible, he offered to show the officers where his hat and shoes were, and finally took the officers to the place where he had put them before en tering the house. A hat was found which he admitted to be his, but the shoes he said had been changed, and those left belonged, he alleged, to one Smith Hargreaves, who had been his companion in the attempted robbery. Before the magistrates the prisoner made the following statement :—A chap came to me on Monday, and said he had seen some money put in a drawer in this house, and wanted me to go with him that night. I promised him I would go, but I did not go near him on Monday night. On Tuesday he came to me again, and I had got some drink, and he persuaded me to go with him, and when we got part of the road I stopped and would not go further. He called me a soft fool, and said I had no occasion to go into the house. When we got to the place he lifted the window shutter up, and went in and opened the front doer anticalled me in. He lighted a candle and went into a room, but there was no furniture in the room where tho money should have been. He then said, "Let us go forward," and we went through the kitchen. live men came up and seized me. The other man passed them, and went away. They call the \ man Smith. It appeared front the other evidence in the cause that one Smith Hargreaves had on a former occasion given information to the police of a burglary, and had been a witness fur the prosecution. None of the officers exa mined were able to say from what source the information of the robbery was received on the present occasion. It had been given to the superintendent, from whom they received their orders. The prisoner was found Guilty. His LORDSHIP observed that he thought the police had much better have their eyes on the conduct of this Smith Hargreaves, than their ears open to his communi cations. James Hindle was indicted for the manslaughter of Thomas Lomax. Mr. Hulton conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Drinkwater. It appears that the prisoner is a getter of coal at a col liery at Oswaldtwisle, and the deceased was a drawer to him. On the 9th day of May last, the deceased com plained of pains in the arms, and of lumps under his armpits, which hurt him when he worked. The prisoner was annoyed at his not getting on with his work, and, after some angry words, he gave the deceased a push, which threw him against one of the tubs used in the col liery-. He fell with his right side on the edge, and com plained of being hurt. On going home in the evening he suffered much from pain in his side. He had some me dicine, threw up some blood, and was for a day or so confined to his bed. He recovered, however, so far as to resume his work, and for four or five weeks attended his duties at the pit as usuaL He was then, however, at tacked with inflammation at the place where he had re ceived the blow ; it resultediin mortification, which ter minated his life. The prisoner, it appeared, displayed much feeling on the occasion, and expressed much regret at having struck the deceased, saying, that when people were angry they often struck harder than they intended. It did not, however, very clearly appear that the subse quent inflammation was traceable to the injury sustained by the act of the prisoner. —He was acquitted. Amos Hampson, John Wood, and Edward Stanley, were indicted, the two former for robbery, and the latter for receiving, with a guilty knowledge, a watch, the pro duce of such robbery. Mr. Hulton conducted the prosecution ; Mr. James appeared for the prisoners Hampson and Stanley. The two persons accused of the robbery are privates in the 6th Regiment of Foot, and the party indicted as receiver is a stripe-sergeant in the same regiment. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, a Mr. William Duncan, that on the 14th of June last he was on a visit at Preston, to which town he had before that time been a stranger. He remained at the Bull Inn until a little after twelve o'clock, when he left for the purpose of going to Butler-street. He, however, was somewhat intoxicated, and taking the wrong turn on leaving the inn, became rather bewildered. He met, however, three soldiers, and a man in plain clothes, of whom he asked his way. They went some distance with him in the direction, as they said, of Butler-street, and on the way he told them if they could find a house open he would treat them to a glass for their civility. They took him to a public-house called, he believed, the Black Tiger ; but the inmates refused to open the door, as it was past twelve o'clock. They returned along the same street, and the prosecutor then perceived that one of the soldiers and the civilian had gone away. The other two soldiers accompanied him until he got to a pice of waste ground, when one of them tripped him up, and kneeling on his breast, he, assisted by the other, rifled the pockets of the prosecutor, taking from him his watch and about 255. in silver. The prosecutor was not able to identify either of the prisoners as the parties who had robbed him, though he thought that Hampson was like one of the men. The prisoners, it appeared, with a number of their comrades, had had leave on the night in question to go to the play. They were seen about the hour described by the prosecutor passing th e mar k et p l ace, i n company with a person in plain clothes. About five o'clock the next morning they were at a public-house, and paid for what they had in silver. The same day they paid a score which had been standing against them for a long time at the same house, and both about that time had more money than usual at their disposal. Some days after Hampson was seen in possession of a small silver watch, and the next day one of his comrades saw him with a watch, which he recognised as having belonged to the prisoner Stanley, and which Hampson said he had purchased from Stanley for two sovereigns. On the 27th of June Stanley showed the colour-sergeant of the regi ment a watch which he said had been sent him by his father, and which the sergeant observed had the number 8,785. The next day the sergeant asked to see it again, but Stanley said he had sold it, and gave several different accounts of the parties to whom he had disposed of it. His room was searched, and, sewed up in one of his epaulettes, which was hanging against the wall, was faigljtaateti, which proved to be the watch stolen from On the close of the case his LORDSHIP said he thought there was no case against Wood ; and Mr. JAMES ad dressed the jury for the other prisners. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury found both the prisoners Not Guilty, stating that they were not satisfied from the statement of the prosecutor that he had not lost the watch without any robbery at all. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Monmouth, Aug. 13. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLEY.) WHISTINCE V. GRIFFITHS. For the plaintiff were Mr. Valentine Lee and Mr. Cooke ; for the defendant, Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Sir Thomas Phillips. Some time in August, 1832, a person of the name of Joseph Bennett, an auctioneer, and landlord of the Packet Inn, Chester, died, leaving his furniture and the bulk of his property to his widow, who, shortly after his decease, took up her abode at Bristol, where she lived for fifteen months ; and afterwards removed to Cheltenham, where she also lived for fifteen months, sup porting herself by the proceeds of a boarding-house which she then furnished. Amongst her lodgers was a man of the name of Jeremiah Smith, who soon after his residence under the plaintiff's roof, received from her 30/. for the purpose of purchasing a piano, and some additional furnittfre of which she stood in need. For many years a young girl had been domes ticated in the house of the plaintiff and her husband, whom she was in the habit of calling her parents, though, in fact, they were only her aunt and uncle. This young woman, during the plaintiff's residence at Cheltenham, became acquainted with a Welsh harper of the name of Griffiths, who had an engagement in that city, and whom during his sojourn there she married. As the plaintiff at this time proposed leaving Chelten ham for Bristol, in order to stay with some friends there, she offered her niece, Mrs. Griffiths (according to her own account) the use of the household furniture to enable her to fit up a cottage which her husband was about to take at Tredegar. The Griffiths gladly availed themselves of the proposal, and the furniture was ac cordingly removed to Tredegar, where it was for some months regularly used by the defendant and his wife. During Mrs. Bennett's stay at Bristol, she formed an intimacy which matured into a matrimonial alliance, with a person of the name of Whistance, and as she now proposed to resume housekeeping, she wrote to Mrs. Griffiths requesting the return of the furniture, with the . . . loan of which she had accommodated her. To this commu nication the defendant sent a very short and not very courteous reply, to the effect that possession was nine points of the law, adding that he would be before he gave them up. It was for this conversion that the present action was brought. On the close of the plaintiff's case Mr. WHATELEY submitted that the misjoinder in the declaration of the plaintiff's present husband should be a ground of nonsuit. After some discussion the objection was overruled, a Learned Sergeant, who was present, remarking— " The only answer which I think is needed, Is that the ground of nonsuit is not pleaded. The issue joined, I understand to be, Upon the ante-nuptial property ; And, therefore, I would almost lay my life The plaintiff has been right to join his wife.' " Mr. WHATELEY proceeded to open to the jury the de fendant's case, which the Learned Counsel supported by the testimony of three witnesses who stated that the plaintiff had in their presence made a gift of the pro perty in question to the defendant. After a careful summing up by Mr. Sergeant Aroma- LEY, the jury remained in deliberation some time, finally returning a verdict in favour of the defendant. The JUDGE—I can only say, Gentlemen, that had I been in the jury-box I should have found a similar verdict. IRISH ASSIZES. CORK—FRIDAY, AUG. 9.
