(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at the Guildhall, before Lord I I DENMAN, and a London Special Jury.) TOTTIE V. HOLMES ♦ND ALLEN. The plaintiff in this case is a civil engine and the defendants are attorneys, carrying on business in Bed ford-rcw. Th- action was brought to recover the amount of a bill sent in by the plaintiff to the defendants of 1,8061. 13s. 9d., for engineering, which be alleged he had been employed by the defendants to perform. It appeared that somewhere about the latter end of 1842, the de fendants, who were attorneys, thought it would be ad vantageous to form a railway to be called the Middlesex and Surrey Grand Junction Railway Company, and en tered into communication on the subject with the plaintiff, who was to be the engineer to the proposed Company, and with a Mr. Smith, who was to be the secretary. The original plan was for a railway from Southall to Twickenham, with a branch to Richmond. Tottie was at ',that time about to leave the service of the Eastern Counties Railway, and he undertook to make the survey. He then suggested that it would be advantageous to ex tend the railway so as to make it a junction railway, joining all the railways approaching the metropolis. The proposition was acceded to, and the surveys were made for the formation of a line from Harrow to Reigate, thus connecting the Birmingham, the Great Western, and the Dover lines. These surveys were deposited with the clerk of the peace. During this time the defendants had paid plaintiff 501. a month according to agreement, and he had received from them 6301. in all. The company was formed, and plaintiff was appointed engineer, but the scheme was finally given up in the beginning of the present year, and then the plaintiff had brought this action. The plans were put in, as wore various letters which had passed between plaintiff and defendants. A witness, named Burleigh, who had been employed by plaintiff, proved that the work had been done ; and Mr. Braithwaite, the engineer to the Eastern Counties Rail way, deposed that the plans were most carefully exe cuted, and that the charges were such as were usually made. For the defence, it was contended that the 6301. which had been paid to the plaintiff by defendants was all that he was entitled to by agreement, inasmuch as it was proved from his letters that he had agreed to take 501. a month, as the amount of his expenses from the de fendants, and that he looked for his profits to the pro posed Company. lle had undertaken to make the sur veys in the hope of being appointed engineer to the Company, in the same manner as the defendants had undertaken the legal portion of the business in the hope of becoming solicitors to the proposed Company, and as Mr. Smith had executed his duties in the hope of being appointed secretary ; and therefore he had no claim upon defendants beyond the 501. a month, which he had agreed to accept for the expenses incurred, and which they had regularly paid him. In the course of his speech, Mr. MARTIN, who ap peared for the defendants, read several documents signed by plaintiff, one of which stated that he should look to the Provisional Board of Directors, as soon as such should be formed, for his remuneration ; and another, that, in consideration of a note of hand from Messrs. Allen and Holmes for 100 L, which he had received, he exonerated them from all liabilities up to that date. At the conclusion of Mr. Martin's address, the jury intimated that they were prepared to deliver their ver dict; and a hint was thrown out by Lord Denman as to the possibility of coming to some settlement. A con sultation took place, and it was ultimately arranged that a juror should be withdrawn. Mr. Watson conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Martin appeared for the def t r!ants. AWFUL COLLISION BETWEEN THE SYLPH, WOOLWICH STEAMER, AND THE ORWELL, OF IPSWICH. _ _ Just as we were going to press with our last edition we ascertained that a collision took place between the two above named vessels, between Woolwich and Greenwich, which has caused considerable excitement. It appeared that after the Sylph had landed her pas sengers at Woolwich, and was proceeding up the river with a fresh supply of about forty persons, when about half a mile from Greenwich, a vessel, which was coming in an opposite direction, came with fearful contact against her larboard side, and capsized her. She almost immediately filled, and went down. The Orwell, which was the name of the other vessel, was proceeding on her voyage to Ipswich, and the weather being so foggy, it was believed that the captain could not see the Sylph until they came in contact. 'We were not able to ascertain whether there were any lives lest, but two per -182 sons were conveyed on board the Dreadnought much 205 i n j ured. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAL GLOBE.—A reference to Lord Stanley's appoint ments will prove his preference for the navy, inter- rupted occasionally by an infidelity in favour of a scarlet coat—exceptions to the rule more apparent than real, perhaps. The nautical finance of Captain Fitzroy in New Zealand enjoys a pendant in the currency regulations at Cape Coast, in Guinea, which settlement was this year blessed by being placed under the immediate control of the Colonial-office (it had been for many years previously governed by a committee of London and local merchants), Lord Stanley sending out, as first Governor, Commander Ilill, R.N. The currency of Guinea is regulated by a gold standard—all transactions of moment being valued in ounces of gold and in ackies (the 1-16th part of an ounce) ; the smaller business of life being managed by couries, Indian shells, of which there are some fifty to a penny sterling. These, however, are com monly moneys of account only—trade being barter, and pieces of cotton cloth (romauls) are in general circulation ; they were formerly used even to pay the troops. In short, money's worth is given for money's worth only, or for what will pro cure money's worth from the European merchant. Lord Stanley and his naval Governor view with disdain this uncivilised system; and Mr. Gladstone, the Master of the Mint, is ordered to pack up chests of silver pieces worth three-halfpence each, of copper farthings and half-farthings, which it is proposed to introduce into the monetary system of Africa through the military and civil departments of Cape Coast Castle, whose inferior servants are to be paid in these coins ! Fancy our sable brother, disgracefully ignorant of Ricardo and Torrens, and of the incalculable advan tages of a metallic currency—who had never received for his palm oil, his bunch of plantains, or his day's work, anything but a yard of cotton, which he could twist round his waist, a piece of lead with which to sink his fishing-net, or to be cut into a musket slug, or some courie shells, which are the favourite orna ment and (therefore) the universal currency of the interior—fancy a man who never had received anything not intrinsically useful to himself or his Neighbour, gazing at Captain Hill's copper half-farthings or three-halfpenny silver—things unknown to and rejected by his neighbours, and objectional even as not of that substantial bulk which constitutes, in a ,country of clumsy fingers, and destitute of locks and pockets, one of the essential merits of a currency! He would as readily perceive:the value of Captain Fitzroy's assig nats as of these atoms, inconvertible to any end. Time may lead him to discover that the silver spangles are fractional parts of a dollar, but there is no hope of his ever taking to the half-farthings. Ly curgus s iron money may have been as inconvenient (though our Ashantee or Fantee friend would prefer it), but that was avowedly issued "as a restraint on ex cessive speculation"—as our solem Premier would ex press it. However Capt. Hill having a vile corpus, the local corps, on Which to experiment, and compelling them to receive pay in this money, they in their turn compelled, no doubt after " awful sacrifices" and tre mendous palaver, their creditors to receive it; and these poured it as legal tender into the coffers of the European merchants. After taking the trash to an inconvenient amount, the merchants bethought themselves of asking the Governor to receive it again for Government bills on England. His Ex cellency declined compliance, giving the gratifying reason that he was not yet in want of money—in other words, that he had yet stores of the trash in his strong boxes. On a merchant replying that he must then refuse to take any more, Captain Hill ratorted, that a refusal to take the " current coin of the realm " would expose him to a fine; and that if the merchants refused to take " his " money, he would get Yankees to settle there who " would be glad of the chance !" This was assuredly an old menace from an officer placed to protect British interests and commerce ; but the science displayed in the remark is more interest ing, bringing us back, as it does, to the type of Cap tain Hill's half-farthings and Captain Fitzroy's two shilling notes, the French assignats, the projectors and issuers of all three being evidently assured that nothing but sheer stupidity or deep villainy could ' prompt any one to refuse their valuable issue. It appears to have been to carry out this philosophic finance that Captain Hill broke his promise to Sir George Stephen, of returning to England in the first ship after his arrival. Sir George's disappointment is one in which the colony of Cape Coast must deeply sympathise. STANDARD.—The decision of the Board of Heads of Houses and Proctors at Oxford has had the rare good fortune of giving general satisfaction. This is pleasant so far ; but it is rather invidious to com pliment so emphatically as some of our Whig-Ra dical Contemporaries compliment the Board—a body of educated gentlemen—for acting with good sense and in a just and honourable spirit. For ourselves, we never had a doubt of the line the Board would take, and therefore perhaps it is that we are less struck with the formal announcement of it. We have heard of but one objection whispered against the Board's decision, which we will give in the wore of the objector :—" The most objectionable point in the proposed proceeding regarding Mr. Ward's book is that with which the case opens—' Whereas it is notoriously reputed and believed throughout this University, that a hook, &c., has recently been pub lished in Oxford, by the Rev. W. G. Ward, AI.A. It were a hard thing formally to proceed against a man upon mere notoriety and general belief. Mr. Ward has, indeed, obviated the difficulty in his case by avowing, und e r hi s own h an d i n a letter to the Vice- Chancellor, that the book was written by him, but the accusation in its present form stands awkwardly for a Names of Com panies.

TIE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY _EWEN I NG, DECEMBER 17, 1344. precedent, and we should gladly see it amended." i The case is probably without precedent, beause the attempted obstruction to justice is without prece dent, for we suppose that never before was what we may call the effrontery of pettifogging carried so far as for a man to refuse acknowledging a book adver tised, printed, and published with his name in the titlepage, and for months publicly offered for sale in the shop of every book seller in the town in which he resided. In the absence, however, of precedent, recourse is al ways had to the analogy of the law. Now the law pro vides that declarations made in the presence of a party accused are to be received as evidence against him, not as conclusive evidence, but as evi dence to go to a jury, illustrated by the circumstances of the culprit's demeanour when the declarations were made. Now it will not be denied that the advertising, the printing, the publishing, and the exposing for sale in shop windows openly during menthe in the place of his residence, of a book with a man's name in the title-page, is a sufficiently distinct declaration made in the man's presence, and as such, according to the ana logy of the law, very proper evidence to be adduced against him ; he, of course, being free to prove, if he can, that he disowned the work, or that sickness, or some other adequate cause prevented his knowing that such a book was imputed to him. Such noto riety as Mr. Ward's book, and Mr. Ward's name in the title-page, had in Oxford, supersedes the neces sity of any formal proof. The presumption that a man will not allow a book to be advertised, printed, and published, and for months sold in his name is so strong, that strong proof must be adduced to rebut it, and in another analogous case, even the strongest rebutting proof is not allowed to be sufficient. Suppose Mr. Ward to have but once promenaded Oxford with a lady whom he permitted to repre sent herself as Mrs. Ward, to have visited in corn• pany with his fair companion the well-supplied shops of Mr. Loder or Mr. Spiers, in the High- street ; and suppose that his lady had thought fit to run up a heavy bill with ➢lr. Loder or Mr. Spiers, in the name of Mr. Ward, the Rev. Gentle man must pay every farthing of the bill. It would not serve him to prove his obligation of celibacy as a Fellow of Balliol, nor his snore solemn vows of celibacy, taken no doubt, in the hands of Doctor Pusey and Mr. Newman, to demand the lady's marriage certificate, or to give the most satisfactory proof in the world that his acquaintance with the fair debtor was the slightest possible. He had allowed her, though for a single moment, to represent herself as Mrs. Ward, the lady of the Rev. Mr. Ward, of Balliol ; and the inexorable law would compel him to settle her ac count with Messrs. Loder and Spiers, and to pay all her other debts, though due to persons who had never before heard of his name. Such is the weight which the law allows to notoriety in such matters. But surely if it is just that a man is liable for all the debts of a lady whom he has 'allowed to bear his name, for it may be only half an hour, he is justly liable for the contents of a book which he has suffered to bear his name for half a year. There is, therefore, neither hardship nor repugnancy to the principles of law in presuming his authorship of it, from the noto rious publication of a book with a man's name in the title-page; and it is absolutely necessary to do so in dealing with the members of a party who have moulded their morality upon a system of simulation and dissimulation, and who would find it very conve nient to combine at once all the credit of an inge nuous and daring frankness with the security of ela borate chicane. mon to good 5s to 5s 6d, fine 6s 7d to 5s 10d ; Mexican black, com to good 4s 6d to 5s 3d, and silvers 4s 2d to 4s 6d per lb. TALLOW.—There has been a large quantity of New South Wales brought forward, and a decline in prices has been the consequence ; at public sale 528 casks went at 36s to 41s for fair to fine quality. The auctions of other description went at easier rates. 100 casks of East India at 40s fid to 40s 9cl ; 286 pkgs of South American at 32s to 39s 3d for common to fine quality, and 140 casks of St. Petersburgh at 37s 6d to 40s 3d. To-day holders of P.Y.C. were firmer, and obtained 40s 3d to 40s 9d for first quality on the spot. On Friday 354 casks of New South Wales and 280 casks of South American will be offered at public sale. Oils.— A further reduction in prices having been sub mitted to for Cod Oil has occasioned the demand to be very good, and at 301 10s to 311 per tun, many parcels have been disposed on the spot and for arrival. In other descriptions of common Fish Oils there is little alteration to notice in the value. Pale Seal is worth 84/ to 34/ ss, yellow straw and brown 281 lOs to 33/, and Southern common to fine 281 to 33/ lOs per tuu. For Sperm the market is in a very dull state. For Lin seed Oil further reduced rates are accepted but at 22s to 22s 6d per cwt, large purchases have been made on the spot, and for forward delivery. Rape Oil, pale, at 34s to 34s 6d, and brown 33s to 33s 6d per cwt. Cocoa Nut, of 100 tons of white at public sale a very small part only found purchasers at 24s to 25s 9d for common to good quality. Palm, 25s to 25s 6d per cwt for first sort. Olive Oil, Gallipoli 411 to 421, and other descriptions 381 to 401 per tun. American Lard Oil is 401 to 411, and African Ground Nut Oil 331 to 331109.

DEATH OF REAW'ADHIRAL EDWARD BOG Elio-- Intelligence has been received of the death of the above gallant flag-officer, after a protracted illness. He died at Lipson, near Plymouth, last week, at the of sixty-nine years. The deceased admiral had been in the naval service of his country above fifty years. In 1795 he was in Lord notham's action, being at that time a midshipman. He was lieute nant of the Inconstant when L'Unite, of 34 guns, was captured. At the siege of Castiglione he rendered particular service by the able manner he commanded a detachment of seamen and marines. In 1801 he com manded the Craile cutter at the landing of the British forces in Egypt. For the gallantry he displayed while engaged on that official duty he was rewarded with the Turkish gold medal, amongst the other officers who re ceived that decoration. His commission was dated as follows:—Lieutenant, 16th March, 1795; Commander, 27th January, 1803; Captain 22d May. 180 G; and Rear- Admiral of the Blue, 23d November, 1841. An eminent post, in the elegant world of the French capital, is likely soon to become vacant, by the retreat of a well-known trans-Atlantic citizen, who is compelled to wind up his affairs, and return back to the silence and the shades of his native shores, alter having passed many brilliant seasons on the very pinnacle of all that is refined and recherche in French society. There are many candidates in the field for the vacant post, ready, like their predecessor, to sacrifice moral dignity and pecuniary risk, to enjoy the exclusive honour of being patronized by a leading personage of the fashion able world, and of being permitted to open their salons to those, and those only, whom their patron may select. —Court Journal THE TRENT.—The Royal Mail Company's ship Trent arrived at Bermuda on the 18th October. She left Tampico the 29th Sept., Vera Cruz on the 2d October, Havannah on the 11th, and Nassau on the 13th. She ex perienced very bad weather in the Gulf, and was obliged to slip from Tampico, leaving her anchor and seventy-five fathoms of chain cable, as also the whole of the freight at that place, amounting to 1,722,000 dolls., it being found to be impossible to ship it, the bar being impassable. She was also obliged to leave 130,000 dolls. at Vera Cruz, the administrator not being inclined to run the risk of ship ping it during the Norther.

THE LATE HIGH SHERIFF OF DURIIAJI.—.It is in contemplation to erect a monument to perpetuate the stering public and private worth of the late Henry Thornton Maire Witham, Esq., High Sheriff of the county of Durham, and the plan :suggested is not to raise the mere useless pillar, or " flattering marble," but something in accordance with his practical character, his benevolence, and active regard for the education of the middle and working classes. The erection of a hand some building, expressly inscribed to his memory, is projected for the use of the Barnard Castle Mechanics' Institution, which the late Mr. Witham originated, and for the success of which his efforts and labours were unceasing. DETENTION OF A HOUSEBREAKER. — A namesake of the celebrated Jack Sheppard was on Monday last apprehended by Superintendent Russell, at the Hen and Chickens, in this town. From information received by the superintend an t, he thought it advisale to nay a passing visit to the house in question ; accordingly on the evening of Monday last he " dropped in," like Paul Pry, " hoping he did'h intrude," and in a short time dropped on a very susp i c i ous -looking personage,who, with his female companion, had been domiciling at that establishment since the previous Thursday. At the sight of the offi cer t h e veritable " Jack" became alarmed—and this circumstance, combined with the finding of seventeen skeleton keys and two jemmies, made out a case sufficiently strong to warrant the super intendant in apprehendi ng him. This he accordingly did, and the n ex t morning he was taken before the bench of magistrates, who ccnsidering " prevention far better than cure," dispat c h e d t h e worthy to grind corn or wind, as the case mi g ht b e , a t th e ce l e brated Northleach mill, for the term of three calendar month:.--Cheltenham Journal. LAW INTELLIGENCE. PRIVY COUNCIL, Dec. 16. TIIE LIEUFENANT-t.oVERNoR OF GUERNSEY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. ROEBUCK, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Wadding ton), continued his argument on the part of the Crown, in defence of the Lieutenant-Governor. He commenced by referring to the opinion of the Procureur-General of the Island (who formed part, ex officio, of the Royal Court), which had been given as to the legality of the Lieutenant-G overnor'a conduct in respect to the depor tation of the Frenchman. The Lora) CHANCELLOR thought the opinion could not be received as evidence ; but it might be read as part of the Learned Gentleman's argument. Mr. ROEBUCK then read that part which referred to the point at issue :—" We give our opinion that the Lieutenant-Governor has the power of sending any in dividual away whose sojourn here appears dangerous to the public peace. We believe many instances might be found of the exercise of this power on his part, though we cannot cite the cases, not having access to the books. But we believe it to be generally the received opinion that the Lieutenant-Governor has the power of sending away any alien from the island ; and that no alien can reside either in Guernsey or Jersey without the assent of the Lieutenant-Governor in each case." The Learned Gentleman then animadverted on the tone in which the Royal Court had asserted what he conceived their illegal and unfounded assumptions of power. They had spoken of the Lieutenant-Governor as having acted "in igno rance of the constitution," " contrary to his oath," and "in violation of the law." They actually asserted that the Crown had only reserved to itself political and mili tary power in the island, and that supreme civil executive power resided in themselves. It had positively been pretended, that registry by the Royal Court was neces sary to give effect and force, not only to writs of pardon, but to Orders in Council—nay, to Acts of Parliament. Mr. S. Worri.Ey denied that the petitioners' counsel had ever asserted that Acts of Parliament had no force till so registered, but that it was the regular and legal practice so to register them. Mr. ROEBUCK declared, that till the Royal Court dis tinctly relinquished that pretension he should assert that they pressed it, and he should prove that they did so. Les approbations des lois (of the time of Elizabeth), rested upon, as conferring on the Royal Court such powers, only gave certain powers of regulating the in ternal affairs of the island ; and her Majesty had dis tinctly reserved to herself and her successors, as she could not avoid doing, all her regal prerogatives. He should argue, however, that the Queen of England could not divest herself of the prerogative of pardon in any part of her dominions without an Act of Parliament, that the island had been annexed (by conquest) to the realm, and formed part of the dominion of England, and sub jected to the laws of England and the prerogative of the Crown. But he contended that on the true construction of the ancient customs of Normandy, as set forth in the Comwentaries of Terrier (confirmed by the authority of Warburton's Laws of Guernsey), combined with the approbations des lois in tho legal operation of the royal letters of pardon, was declared to be, de _facto, the libera tion of the prisoner. The words were, " Les lettres de pardon, remission, ou grace, du Prince ou Reine d'Angle terre, tont accepts ici, et deffait 4 mettre les eriminels en liberto selon la tenour des dites lettres." The LORD CHANCELLOR—What construction do you put on the phrase —" sont acceptees et deffait I inettre des criminels," &c. ? Mr. RoenticK—" Are considered, de facto, to set the prisoners at liberty." Mr. S. WORTLEY denied this construction of the phrase " deffait," as a Norman translation of de facto. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that something might turn on the import of the word " acceptees," ac cording to the usages of the island. Mr. ROEBUCK proceeded to observe, that though the claims of the Royal Court professed to be founded on the " Constitutions of John," they had adduced no in stances of letters of pardon registered earlier than 1641. Why ? Because their books, which had been searched, presented, no earlier authorities for their claim, though numerous writs of pardon existed on the records of the island before 1641—a pregnant proof this, that their claim was unfounded. The instances which had been cited, however, also proved this claim unfounded. They tended to show, that the prisoners before they had regis tered their pardons " had been discharged ;" instead of their registering the pardons in order to be discharged. The writs, too, were addressed to the governors. Now, in the case at issue, a man having been sentenced by the Royal Court to a term of imprisonment had been com mitted to prison. The Royal Court had discharged their junctions, which were judicial. Once in prison, the man was in the custody of' the Executive—that is, of the Crown. The prison was her Majesty's. The gaoler was the servant of the Crown. He had been appointed by the Governor—by the last Governor, Sir W. Keppell (since whose time there had been only a Lieutenant- Governor), and had continued in the office since. He gave a security that he would surrender to the Royal Court any prisoners to be tried ; but once tried and sen tenced, he held them for the Crown. The terms of the bond were, " par deliverance en justice"—i.e., to trial. In this case there had been no interference with the course of judicial proceeding. On this point the Learned Counsel cited Warburton. The King's Prevot was to bring the prisoners before the Court, " and to see its sentence executed"—that is, to see them put into prison, or hanged, &c. Mr. S. WORTLEY—He is to see the sentence com pleted ; he must be responsible for their custody. Mr. ROEBUCK—NO, no. He cannot so much as enter the prison. The Learned Counsel went on to argue that this claim of the Royal Court, undoubtedly shackling and fettering the exercise of the Queen's prerogative, raised the question whether any Sovereign of England could, without the authority of Parliament, so shackle the prerogative. He contended that this could ❑ot be done according to the laws and constitution of England, as laid dow❑ by Lords Coke, Hale, &c. Those high au thorities, confirmed by " Berry's History of Guernsey," showed the island to be under the dominion of the Crown, and to form part of the realm of England. The royal prerogative, therefore, must prevail in the island, as in any other part of the country. He also cited " Ryley's Pleadings in Parliament," pages 467-9. " Justices itinerant " had sat in the island under the Royal Commission, as in England. The Barons of the Cinque Ports and of the County Palatine of Chester had made claims akin to those now urged by the Royal Courts of Guernsey and Jersey, and they had been disallowed. The fact was, in all these cases the " Royal Charter " had conferred no more than the usual powers and privileges of corporations of such a cha racter. These jurisdictions were under the sovereignty of England, and subject to the prerogatives of the Crown of Englaid, instead of being, as the Royal Court pre tended, part of some foreign sovereignty, under some sort of independent separate powers, and laws and usages. In the 4th Institute, Lord Coke had laid it down that the King could not, without au Act of Par liament, divest himself of any portion of the imperial prerogatives, among which he enumerated the writ of pardon ; and if the Queen was so ill advised as to issue " letters patent" (as Coke called them), granting to any body the power of" verifying" her writs of pardon, &c., and the privilege of not obeying them till so verified, the charter would to that extent be null and void. Sir S. LUSHINGTON was understood to draw a distinc tion between countries conquered, and merely annexed by treaty. Mr. Boriatfcx remarked that the islands of Guernsey and Jersey had been re-conquered by English sovereigns subsequently to the forfeiture of Normandy to France. Mr. Bence—But he also alleges the King of England's seisin of those islands to be a good seisin (pars pro tanto) of the whole duchy. Mr. Rounucx considered that a curious principle. He, however, admitted that Coke conceived the islands not part of the realm of England, though subject to the Crown of England; giving as his reason that writs from Chancery ran not out of the jurisdiction of Chancery. But it was enough for this case that the islands were under the Crown of England, subject to the prerogatives of the Crown. Sir S. LUSHINGTON—Do you contend that the prero gative of pardon is similar to that of declaring peace or war, and is coextensive with it ? Mr. ROEBUCK—Certainly. Lord Coke affirms it to be, " Omni, soli, et semper." Sir S. LUSEIRGTON—This argument is a most mo mentous one. Let me clearly comprehend your proposi tion. Is it, that whenever the Crown of England be comes possessed (at the close of war, by peace, &c.) of a foreign country, there the great prerogatives of the Crown instantaneously, and without any qualification, attach ? " Omni, soli, et semper" are large and compre hensive words, certainly. But let me put a case. Sup pose we reconquered what we now call " British" Guiana, and that previously the right of pardon had been in some other jurisdiction than the Crown's, would the royal pre rogative of pardon directly prevail ? Mr. ROEBUCK cited Lord Coke, 4th Institute, pages 356 and 357. At the same time, he admitted that Lord Mansfield, in his judgment in the great case of the island of Grenada, had appeared to consider that some of the principles laid down, on the authority of Coke, might be worthy of revision. This, however, was dis tinctly laid down, by Coke, that the Sovereign could not grant away by charter any part of the royal prerogatives, and that even by Act of Parliament it could not be done by implication. Now he affirmed the language of les approtations des lois, appealed to, as proving a grant of this privilege now claimed for the Royal Court, could only be conceived as conferring the privilege by way of implication, if at all ; for it was only a general approval of the customs of the island, which, according to the Norman usages and laws, were said to justify the claim. It was of the highest importance for the protection of the liberty of the subject, that, in an island where a peculiar local jurisdiction existed, with no right of appeal save to the queen in Council, the royal writ of pardon should not be rendered nugatory by a privilege of disregarding it until that local court should choose to register it. Let it be observed, that the claim was made equally as to writs, Orders in Council, and even Acts of Parliament— all were placed in the same category ; yet, from the time of Charles 11. downwards, whenever the Royal Court had presumed, in reference either to Orders in Council or Acts, to claim that its registry was a condition precedent to their validity, the Council had (so lately in one case as the governorship of Sir J. Doyle) peremptorily di rected the Court to regard them as binding on the island, independently altogether of the registry, which was only for convenience. Mr. S. WORTLEY referred to the order of the time of Charles 11. (set forth in " Duncan's History of Guernsey") as expressing that the Court had only acted under an erroneous impression. Mr. ROEBUCK read the order at length, The argil ment, had been placed on the same tooting with respect to acts of Parliament and Royal writs. Now, he con tended that t h e c l a i m, as adm i tted to be groundless with respect to Acts of Parliament, and as shown by precedents since Charles IL's time to live been dis regarded and overruled by the OPOWiI in Council with regard to Orders in Council, must be equally groundless as to royal writs of pardon, it being by law a; impossible to grant away any part of the royal prerogative , as to give the right of dispensing with an Act of Par- ' liarnent. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue that in a constitutional, as well as in a legal point of view, it was very important that the judicial and the . executive powers should be kept separate and distinct. When a man had been judicially sentenced, the enforce ment of the sentence was one of the functions of the executive; therefore, if the Crown officer (the Lieut.- Governor) had the custody of the prisoner, he was right in enforcing his liberation, as he had done, under the authority of the Crown. In conclusion, the Learned Gentleman intreated their Lordships—recollecting the feelings which had been excited in the course of this contest—would in their decision vindicate the Lieu tenant-Governor, without giving a triumph to one party or the other. Mr. WIDDINGTOW followed on the same side. The Learned Counsel's arguments were not concluded when the Council rose. At its rising the Council adjourned till Wednesday. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 16. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at the Guildhall, before Lord DxratAN and a London Special Jury.) THE ARCHINEDEAN SCREW-LOWE V. PENN AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff in this case, a smoke jack maker, who in the year 1838 had taken out e. patent for :propelling vessels, by means of a screw working under water at the stern of the vessel, and the defendants are Messrs. Penn, the celebrated steam-boat builders. The action was brought for an infringement of the plaintiff's patent, by applying his screw to the steam-boat " Infant Prince." Mr. Sergeant Byles conducted the case for the plain tiff, and Mr. Platt, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Peacock ap peared for the defendants. It appeared from the evidence for the plaintiff, that he had taken out his patent in 1838, and that in 1839 he had caused a number of experiments to be tried on board a steamboat called the Wizard, the name of which was subsequently changed to the Cygnet, and that, in consequence of those experiments, he had caused various alterations to be made in the shape of his screws er propellers. It appeared that Mr. Francis Smith, the proprietor of the Archimedes, was present at some of those experiments, and one of the persons who had assisted at the building of the Archimedes, deposed that she had first of all been fitted up with a whole screw, which occasioned a disagree able vibration at the stern, but that subsequently the whole screw had been changed for the sec tions of a screw, by which the vibration was got rid of. A person had called on Smith for the purpose of remonstrating with him, but Smith was not at home, and it did not appear that any further steps were taken in the matter. It also appeared that the Government had adopted the same principle in fitting up some of her Majesty's ships, but it did not appear what steps the plaintiff had adopted in consequence. When the defendant was fitting up the steam-boat Infant Prince and another boat with steam propellers, they were waited on by Mr. Curpmeal and Mr. Briggs, a gentleman possessing 7-12ths of Lowe's patent, to re monstrate with him for using Lowe's patent propeller without a license . ; various interviews took place, at the conclusion of which Messrs Penn refused to apply for a license, and the present action was in consequence brought. , I or the defence it was contended that the invention was not a new one—that it did not differ in principle from Shorter's patent skulling machine, which was invented in 1800—that it was identical in principle and nearly in detail with Millington's propeller, which was patented in 1816—that a Mr. Brown, had invented and published, in 1825, a method of pro pelling vessels by means of vanes working under water, and had published it to the world, ; aid that as far back as 1815, had invented a method of propelling vessels by means of a worm screw, or a number of leaves placed obliquely round an axis; and that in Dec., 1829, a method had been invented by Cummerow, of placing the screw pro peller between the stern-postand the rudder-post. The various patents andmodels having been put in, Mr. Rennie, the engineer, gave it as his opinion that the principle of Lowe's invention differed in nothing from those already known, and that the mode of propelling by means of curved blades working under water, and providing for the pass ing away of the water without choking, had been in use before 1858. On his cross-examination, he stated that in Shorter's, Millington's Brown's, and Trevethick's in vention the vanes were flat, and that Cummerow's patent was for a whole screw, and not for a section of a screw. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Forty Shillings. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Thomas Barry, a respectably-dressed young man, who was remanded on Saturday, on a charge of attempting to pick a lady's pocket on Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of making inquiries into his character, was again brought up in charge of police-constable Wardle, 325. A policeman of the L division of the metropolitan police, stated that he had known the prisoner for the last four years as a member of the swell mob. About that time he was taken into custody for assaulting the police, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. He sub sequently, about two months since, was brought up be fore the magistrates for thrusting a lighted link in the face of a policeman, and was sent to prison for 14 days. He was a well-known character. Alderman JonlisoN said he should send him for seven days for his present offence, and, as he appeared to be so well known to the police, he had no doubt it would not be long before he would be in their custody again. Charles Why, a young urchin, about nine years of age, was charged A , lth stealing a sovereign entrusted to him, the property of George Brown, hairdresser and per fumer, of No. 17, Ludgate-hill. Alderman JOUNSON said that the lad had been often before brought to the Court. On the last occasion he was sent, it appeared, with half-a-crown to buy some meat for the purpose of making a little beef tea for his sister, who was lying dangerously ill, and that he then absconded and spent the whole of the money. It ap peared that he was incorrigible, and for his present offence he should send him for three months to Bride well ; and in the meantime see what could be done with him. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Dec. 17.) SUGAR.—To-day there was more activity iu the West India Sugar market ; a fair business was transacted, and bright yellow descriptions, which were the most in request, in several instances fetched prices rather above those previously quoted ; other kinds sustained the former value; the market has decidedly assumed a firmer appearance. The total purchases amounted to 420 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 100 hhds and 12 tierces of Barbadoes Sugar, which went off with more animation, and at prices Is to 2s above those of the former sale for midd and good, and 6d to is per cwt for low descriptions; good yellow fetched G2s 6d to 64s 6d, good middling 61s Gd to 625, middling 5 , 3 s Gd to 60s, low 55s to 56s 6d, and one lot very low 53s 6d per cwt. The total stock at this port of all descriptions of raw Sugar, subject to the 24s duty and 5 per cent, is 7,300 tons more than it was last season at this time. REFINED. —To day several parcels of Refined Goods were taken by the home trade, and prices ruled firm — brown lumps at 71s 6d, and Standard Lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is higher, sales for forward delivery having been made at 30s to 30s 6d per cwt. Maunmus.—This afternoon there was more inquiry for Mauritius Sugar, and at public sale 249 bags were sold at full rates ; fine yellow at 665, good mid 57s to 57s 6d, mid 545, good brown 50s to 50s 6d, and very low 40s per cwt. EAST INDIA..—This afternoon 3,553 bags Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, but in consequence of higher rates being asked the whole was taken in, and with drawn, mid yellow at 54s 6d to 565, good mid OSs, and (lamp brown 42s 6d to 43s per cwt, there were buyers at lair market rates. FOREIGN.—The market has presented a quiet appear ance for Foreign Sugar since last Tuesday. In yellow Ifavannah there has been only a limited business transacted by private treaty, but previous rates are sustained ; 1,000 boxes have been disposed of at 20s 6d to 21s Gd, and a small parcel at 22s per cwt. White is not offered upon lower terms. Brown Brazil is held for the former currency, and a fair demand has existed at 17s to 18s Gd for middling to fine quality, but white has been taken sparingly at 21s to 24s ; the small parcels of other descriptions disposed of privately have been upon previous terms. MOLASSES—To-day several inquiries existed for West India Molasses, but large purchases prevented higher rates being asked. RlCE.—Bengal is still attracting attention, and in some cases a further advance in prices has taken place; low white fetching lls to Ils 6d, mid lls 9d to 12i, and good 12s 3d to 12s Gd : the lower kinds are wanted, the supply being inadequate to the demand. holders of Foreign East India are not inclined to press sales, and previous rates are maintained, but little business has been transacted in the private market ; 9s to 11s is the value of Java. At auction, 684 bags of Madras fetched 8s to 8s 6d for good yellow, and 7s Gd to 8s 6d for sea damaged, first and second class. In cleaned Rice extensive purchases have been made, at 14s to 18s for Patna, and at 23s to 27s for Carolina. COFFEE.-This afternoon there were four public sales of Ceylon Coffee, containing 1,476 bags ; holders were inclined to realise, and submitted to a reduction on pre vious rates of is to 2s per cwt ; nearly the whole found purchasers, viz.-low ord 495, good ord pale 50s to 51s 6d, real good ord 52s to 52s 6d, fine ord 53s to 53s 6d, country damaged first class 50s to 50s 6d, second class 495, sea damaged 443 to 525, triage 2ls to 28s, a few lots of Plantation went at 58s to 58s 6d for fine fine ord, 69s for low mid, and 63s to 71s 6d for pea berry. With Mocha the market was better supplied, and at auction 630 bales 42 cases were °tiered, but buyers evinced little desire to purchase, and the whole was taken in much above what was bid-mid pale greenish long berry at 755, mid yellowish 68s, brown 61s to 665, and green Mysore 425. Of West India 5 casks 119 brls 21 bags were offered, and taken in at 51s to 52s for fine ord grey Berbice, and 40s to 45s for ord ragged. TEA.-Since our last report the market has been better supplied with nearly all descriptions of Tea, still merchants for the most part have displayed firmness. To-day there was a good business transacted in the Tea market, and prices ruled firm ; common sound Congou cash fetched lOid to I Id, and Twankay Is 3d to Is 3id for ordinary. The deliveries during the past week were large, amounting to 505,210 lbs. FRUIT.-This afternoon at public sale 34 butts of New Patras Currants, damaged, went at 43s to 50s, 12 caroteels 43s to 495, 34 barrels 43s to 49s ; 8,725 pkgs of sound Turkey Figs, in drums 46s to 65s ; I-drums 163 to 60s, drums 58s, eases 70c ;22 cases of Greek Figs 36s ; 20 casks of Sweet Almonds, 100 feases of French Prunes ; 720 drums of Sultana Raisins, and 328 boxes of Eleme were all withdrawn. SPICES.-Nutmes have met with more attention, and although the market has been liberally supplied, yet previous rates are supported, and 63 chests 5 boxes of Penang, at auction were all disposed of, fine bold brown at 4s to 4s Id, good middling and good 3s 5d to 3s I Id, middling 3s 3d to 3s 4d. With Mace the market has again been welt supplied, and a decline in prices of 2d per lb has taken place. The supply of Cloves exceeding , the demand, and prices are still going down. This after noon at public sale 96 bags of Penang Pepper were taken in at 2ad per lb for stalky. Ruit, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Jamaica Rum is still purchased sparingly by shippers and the home trade; 28 to 32s per cent overproof is 3s 6d to 3s 9d, 33 to 35 over 3s 10d to 4s, for fine and very fine 4s Id to Os per gallon. Leeward Island is not cheaper, 100 puns have been sold at 2s 2}d to 2s 4d proofstrength. Demerara 3s to 3s 5d accepted for strong descriptions. Calcutta at 2s 2d to 2s 2id, and at 2s to 2s ld per gallon for arrival. In Brandy of the best descriptions there has been a good deal doing at firm rates, but common and middling kinds move off slowly ; we quote Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 2d, puns 5s ; do, 1839, hhds 4s lid, puns 4s 9d ; do 1840, hhds 4s I Id, puns 4s 9d ; do 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; do 1842, hhds 4s 7d, puns 4s 5d ; do 1843, hhds 4s sd, puns 4s 3(1, common 2s 8d to 3s. 11d, and mid to good mid 3s to 35 10d, Bor- deaux common 2s 6d to 2s Bd. Geneva is fetching Is 9d to is 10d for export, and 2s 4d to 3s 6d for fine for home consumption. English Corn Spirits at lOs 2d per gallon, cash. To-day there was little business tran sacted in the Rum market, and prices ar drooping ; proof Leewards are 2s 3d to 2s 3id ; a small parcel of Deme rara 29 per cent 0 P has beensold at 3s Id per gallon. INDIGO.-The quarterly sale of East India will take place on the °ls t of January. A large quantity will be brought forward; already 5,114 chests are declared. In Bengal 400 chests have been disposed of, at a decline on the rates of the last quarterly sale of 3d to 4d per Ib, the chief part having been taken by speculators. Madras, Kurpah, and Oude are selling at prices rather under those of that period. Spanish is little wanted, and prices are little better than nominal. COCHINEAL has met with ready purchasers by private treaty, and the advanced rates previously established are fully supported, indeed importers for the most part have none undisposed of i • Honduras, low to good silvers brought 4s 3d to 4s 9d, fine 4s 10d to 5s ; black, com- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXCISE INFORMATION.— WUliatnd;:tsand John Hay were charged by Mr. - Knyvitt, an Excise officer, with having sold gin in Hyde Park, without a license. Knyvitt said he had received information that persons were in the habit of breaking the law by selling gin to the skaters on the Serpentine, and that, acting on this information, he went to Hyde Park on Sunday afternoon to make observations. He saw one of the defendants with a table before him in the park selling something from a bottle to various persons. He saw the other de fendant place a small bottle on the table, from which both defendants drank a glass of some liquor. Witness went up to the defendants, and asked what they charged for a glass? One of them replied the charge for a glass of peppermint-water was td. Witness asked what was charged for a glass of gin, and on being told 2fd. he or dered a glass, and was served with the gin, for which he paid. The defendants were afterwards given into cus tody. In their possession several bottles were found. These bottles were either full of peppermint-water or smelt as if they had only had peppermint-water in them. The only bottle containing gin was the small bottle out of which witness was served. In defence, one of the accused stated that after having dinner on Sunday he asked his companion to fetch some gin for their own use. When the gin was brought they drank some of it, and at that moment the Excise officer came up, and as he wanted some gin and not peppermint -water, and there being about a glass of it in the bottle, he was supplied with a single glass. The defendants further said that they only sold peppermint water for the accommodation of the skaters. Mr. MALTBY had no doubt that gin had been sold im properly, but under all circumstances he was of opinion that the present was not such a case as called for a con viction, and he should, therefore, dismiss the complaint. BENEYOLENCE.—The Earl of C- sent 51., and A. 8., Conduit-street, 61., for the poor-box. UNION-HALL. A respectable tradesman of the name of Dronsart, carrying on business in the City, made an application to the magistrate under the following circumstances : Ile stated that he wus the brother of Fanny Dronsart, a young female, who was charged, in conjunction with a Frenchman named Charles Richart, with stealing a gold watch and gold neck-chain, the property of a lady named Williams, in Stamford-street, and that they were examined at that court on Saturday ; that since then, he (applicant) had had an inter view with his sister in the county gaol, and that she there apprised him that while they were under examination at that court oa the day above specified, her fellow-prisoner (Richart) made a confession of his guilt to her, said that he had taken the watch and chain out of Miss Williams's drawer, and had pledged the former article at the shop of Mr. Atten borough, the pawnbroker, in Fleet-street. The ap plicant added that he was persuaded his unfor • tunate sister had no concern whatever in the robbery. Mr. TRAILL said the charge was brought before his colleague, Mr. Cottingham; that he was of opinion the latter gentleman, would, under the circumstances just mentioned, sanction her liberation on entering into her re cognisance to be present on Wednesday, the day ap pointed for the next examination. The magistrate then directed Burridge, the chief usher, to proceed to Fleet street, and ascertain whether the watch was pledged, as described, at the pawnbroker's. The officer returned, and reported that the watch was pledged on Monday last (the day on which it was stolen) by a man answering the description of Richart. Mr. TRAILL, upon this information, sent an order for the liberation► of the applicant's sister from the county gaol; and being afterwards brought up to this Court, and the necessary bail being entered into, she left the Court with her brother. WORSHIP-STREET. John Harman, alias White, a notorious " smasher," was charged upon the police-sheet with uttering a counterfeit half-crown to Mr. Edmund Warlter, a butcher in Durham-street, Bethnal-green-road. It appeared from the statement of police-sergeant K 8 that, on Saturday evening, the prisoner entered the prosecutor's shop, and in payment of some trifling article he tendered a half-crown piece, which Mr. Warlter im mediately discovered to be spurious, and, on looking at the utterer, at once recognised him as being the same person who bad practised a similar imposition upon him on the preceding day. On being charged with the fact, the prisoner made a sudden attempt to repossess himself of the coin, which, in the struggle fell to the ground, and finding the butcher was determined to secure it, th e prisoner caught up one of his cleavers, and made a cut at his head with such force that, but for his fortunately evading the blow, must have produced fatal conse quences. The prisoner, after a violent struggle, was overpowered, and given into the custody of a policeman, who conveyed him to the station-house. While the charge was being there taken against hi m , th. pr isoner made another attempt to snatch the money hand of the prosecutor ; but, instead of getting P' 116 , - 1 , sion of the base coin, he grasped hold of a hag , P e `' - i ,lci piece, which he immediately thrust into his m outb , 1 4 , made an attempt to swailo;Y. He was observed, hu;og ever, instantly to turn black in the face, the piece t , bi t l t '• got tightly fixed in his gullet. and, after some 11v, °. „- -11 0 attempts on the part of the officers to dislodge it , ,li e n dos conveyed, in a state of strangulation, to the aG Hospital, where the coin was forced down his th 1 :1, 0 The sergeant:added that the prisoner still remain ` , l' the hospital in such a condition as at present Ott' precluded the possibility of his removal. nt to Mr. BROUGHTON gave directions to the serg e tt-,0 keep his eye upon the case, and when the prisoner ogo sufficiently recovered, to bring him to the court, t ° the charge against him. _ THAMES POLICE. . 03 Yesterday James Bridgman, alias Smith, and eil. nrce great many other aliases, was brought before g r.
