THE. WILL FORGERIES. MANSION-HOUSE. RE-EXAMIATION RSOF. BAR OREY BER, FLETCHER, AND M D. Three o'clock yesterday afternoon was the hour fixed for the reexamination of the persona charged with the commission of these forgeries. As soon as the doors were opened, the Court was crowded in every part. Mr. Clarkson attended to conduct the prosecution; Mr. Chambers appeared for Barber; Mr. Ballantyne for Fletcher; and Mr. Wilkins for Mrs. Dorey. At three o'clock precisely the Lord Mayor took his seat on the bench, and the prisoners, Wei. .genry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, and qeoryzana Dorey, were brought up in the cus tody of the Forresters. The male prisoners were placed in the dock, the female wa s a ccommo d a t e d w i t h a chair at the table immediately below the bar. Mr. Clarkson—Let Griffin also be put to the bar. Forrester—He is not here yet, Sir; he is gone for. Upwards of half an hour elapsed, however, before Griffin made his appearance, when he was placed in the dock. Mr. Wilkins expressed a desire that Mr. Weare, the clerk of Mr. Freshfield, should leave the Court, so as to be out of hear ing, unless the counsel for the prosecution would pledge them. selves that he was not to be examined as a witness. Mr. Clarkson—l shall not pledge myself. Mr. Wilkins—Then I desire he may leave the Court. Mr. Clarkson (after consulting Mr. Freshfield)—l shall not call Mr. Weare. Mr. Wilkins—Do you pledge yourself that Mr. Weare shall not be called as a witness, either here or elsewhere, against any of the prisoners ? Mr. Clark - son—l will not pledge myself to that. Mr. Wilkins—Then I demand of you, my Lord Mayor, that be should be ordered to leave the Court. Mr. Clarkson—Mr. Weare is the managing clerk of Mr. Freehtield in this prosecution, and it may perhaps, although I am not aware that it will be, but it may be necessary to examine him, but surely that is no reason for turning the Tenon who hai assisted in managing these prosecutions out of Court. • Mr. Wilkins appealed to the Lord Mayor's justice to desire Mr. Weare to leave the Court, and to Mr. Weare's sense of decency to do so. If he had riot been misinformed, Mr. Weare's zeal in behalf of this prosecution, Lad outrun his discretion ; and he therefore, if it was intended, either here or elsewhere, to examine him as a witness against any of the prisoners, requested that he should leave the Court. The Loan MAYOR (to Mr. Clarkson)—You do not intend to call him hire? Mr. Clarkson—No, my Lord. • The Loan MAYOR—Then I cannot see any necessity for his leaving the Court. The following witnesses were then called:— Sarah Ilawkes—ln 1840 I lived in Little Guildford-street, Russell-square. I knew Mrs. Derey as Miss Richards. I was then ,an embroideress. I had lodged in the same house with her and her mother in Berwick-street, She called on me in the summer of 1840, and : , aid I have called to ask a favour of you. I asked what it was ? She said, to have some letters in yonr name to a Mr. Jones. I then lived at 24. Little Guildford-street. I said I had no ob jection. Shortly after that, one letter came addressed to the name of Jones, 24, Guildford-street. It was addressed to me for Mr. Jonas. I took it to Mr. Wybrow's, where I was rfquested. He is a seller of music in Rathbone plate. I left it in the shop for Miss Richards. She told me the letter's related to some property, that I used to hear her mother talk about. Joseph Cookson=--I am one of the constables of Barton npon-Humber. I married a sister of the prisoner Fletcher, and have known him from childhood. I had a son named Robert. I wait at Barton in 1839. My son Robert was a sailor. I was employed .by Fletcher in June. 1839, to purchase a vessel fcr him. He came to Barton cn the 13th or 14th of June. Mr. 13;11antyne asked to which charge the evidence applied? Mr. Clarkson—To all. Mr. Bi ne—Then I object to it. I object to any gene ral evidence ? and I ask under what charge Mr. Fletcher is being nowetatnined ? Mr. Charnbers also desired to know if the first charges were now the subject of inquiry, or if they were closed. Mr. Clarkson was giving evidence upon all the charges, and the purport 'of this evidence was to show that Fletcher was asking preparations at that time for what he had done sub sequently.. Mr. Chambers did not object to the adoption of that course— all he was anxious for was to prevent any prejudice from being excited. Mr. Ballantyne still objected, but The Lan Nlsioa decided to admit the testimony. Mr. Clatkson (to witness)—Did he say anything to you about getting - money? Mr. Ballansine objected to the question, as irrelevant to the subject under discussion ; and called for the decision of the Lord Mayor on the subect. Mr. Clarkson replie d; and The Loan KklrOtt.decided that the question might be put. Examination resumed—Ho said he was making money very fast by hating out unclaimed dividends. I said, But, Sir, are you not afraid you should be overtaken ? He 'aid, No ; the parties 'are dead, there is no fear whatever. I said, But, Sir, suppose you should be overtaken ? Oh, he said, send you across the seas. He mentioned the names of two parties for whom be had got them, but one parti is dead, and the other is not in custody, and I do not think it desirable to name them now. I have not had advice, but I think not. Ile then told me of a Miss Richards that he had got money for, but it was oely a small sum, 2001. or 300/. Miss Richards he said laid her money out in fancy goods and kept a stall in the Pantheon. He said the money came from unclaimed di.. vidends, and that he and h;s rogue of an attorney shared the plunder—ttratis the person not in custody yet. He said he had been at law with the Bank of England. That he advanced 350/. to a woman to proceed against the Bank, because she had not preperty:to go to law with ; he advanced the money to get it, and she v. it. I had at that time a daughter named Mary Ann. She.was. then living at Liverpool or Leeds. She was invited up to London by him, and she came up. That was after his. visit to Barton. I think I have stated all that passed on the subject of unclaimed dividends. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—He did not mention the name of any person who is in custody except Miss Richards. Mr. Chambers—Can you write down the name of the rogue of an attorney; who is not in custody, and hand it to the Lord Mayor? Witness —L can if it be desired. Mr. ChamberS submitted that it should be done, which was acceded to by Mr. Clarkson and the Lord Mayor. Mr. Chambers—Can you also write down the names and addresses of those other parties ? Yes, Sir. I have not seen him since. ' These communications were made at different times during the three or four days he was at my house. He said nothing about continuing or discontinuing such prac tices. He, did not tell me how his rogue of an attorney shared the plunder, nor did he enter into any particulars as to his mode et proceeding. The names of the other three parties were those of persons for whom he had got dividends. My son is 'n do island of Sicily. I was sent for to come to Lon don about a week ago. 1 was in town on Monday. I had come on the preceding Friday. By Mr. Ballantine—l live at No. 1, Hay-street, Barton-on- Humber, and have been a constable since 1836. I lived two years at Liverpool with my son. I did not propose .to • come up here myself. I received a communication to come up on Wednesday week. That was in consequence of a communication I had myself made, I think. I have no doubt but that I made a communi cation. I wrote up to London, on seeing the advertisement in the paper, three or teur days before. I went to Messrs. Fresh field, stating the particulars I have stated. My daughter is here. She was living with me when I made the communication. It was six weeks after I saw the advertisement before I wrote up. I do not •know that there is any reason for my not having done 11 ,, before. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins—l am appointed constable by that township. Ido nothing but constable.ise. I was a farmer at Barton before I went to Liverpool. I failed in business, and my creditors took what there was. I was not bankrupt, nor slid I take the benefit of the Act. There was no compounding. My landlord seized, and I afterwards paid my creditors what I could. I did nothing while I was at Li verpool. I lived upen part of the money that my son earned, and some I had myself. He was in the Liverpool po llee. That was from 1834 to not 1836 quite. I think I lived at No. 20, Marylebone. It was opposite Great Cross Hall-street. I did not seek to get into any employment. I have been living at the Bull, in Leaderihall-street, since I came to town. I have seen the gentleman (Mr. Weare) twice. I received 51. at Barton for my travelling expenses. It cost me 4/. Bs. for me• and my daughter by railway. I was not in Court last Monday. Mr. Freshfield took my examination last Friday. Mr. Wilkins—Do you expect any money? Witness—Of course, I do. Mr. Wilkins—You expect to be paid pretty handsomely? Witness—Why, for my time. I was a constable at the time this coaversation took place with Mr. Fletcher, and it is about a fortnight since I first made this communication. Re-examined—lt was the magistrates' clerk of Barton who advanced me the money to come up. Mary Ann Cookson--I am the daughter of the last witness, n:1 live with him. In 18,391 came up to see my uncle Fletcher. He was living in Westmoreland-place, Southampton-street. I s'ayed with him between three weeks and a month. After I had been there three days 'he spoke to me about unclaimed divi dends. He said that he was getting a great deal of money by the unclaimed dividends. Mr. Chambers—l bvg to draw your particular attention to the eonduct of one of the witnesses, who actually had the im pertinence to seize my collar, and that witness is the constable who was just examined. He had written down the names of the parties as I had de:sired him, and when I attempted to look at them, he seized me by the collar and I thought he would have clawed my face. Mr. Clarkson—Cookson, ho* is this ? Co,kson—l had written down the . naniei to give to `the Lord Mayor, and I thought the gentleman had no right to look at them. The papers were then handed to Mr. Chambers, and he desired Cookson to write the addressee of the parties, which he said he could not do. • Mr. Clarkson then recommended Cookson to leave the room. Examination resumed.—He said that he had got a great deal of money by unclaimed dividends, and that he had got it more than onco. A person of the name of Tucker frequently came there. .11e al ways talked about money after Tucker went away; and he said if I would do as he would have one, he could get me some.- I asked how it was to be done? and he said, of course, I must appear to be another person. I asked him how I must do that ? and he said it would be by false swear ing ; and he said I should have to kiss the Bible, and say I was another person that I was not. I told him I thought I should be doing very wrong to kiss the Bible, and bring a curse upon myself. He said that was quite ridiculous the Bible was a fable, and if I went by that I should gO wrong. I told him I thought it very wrong, and that I would have nothing to do with it. He said if I would do as he would have me, there was money he could get me very shortly. lle . frequently talked about it. I dkl not at that time know what unclaimed dividends were : I asked him, and he told me, as far as I can recollect, that it was something about the Si n ki ng F und Commissioners. He mentioned Alias Richards as a person for whom he had got money. Mr. Wilkins—l a s k M r . Clarkson if h would he give such evide nce as this were before a judge, Mr. Clarkson—l certainly should. Mr. Wilkins—Then I will pledge my reputation as a lawyer against yours, that no judge would a d m i t it in evidence.lt is a cruel and oppressive attempt t o p re j u di ce the public mind 1 against the prisoners through the medi um o f t h e press. The Loan MAYOR decided that the question might be put. Mr. Wilkins—When that poor woman, suff er i ng from illness', has been visited by magistrates in prison. The LORD MAYOR—Whom do you accuse ? Mr. Wilkins—l accuse you, my Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR—Then, Sir, you accuse me or that which is false. That woman sent for me, anti stated she wished to snake a declaration to me, and I refused to hear her, and told her to apply to her eounsel. Mr. Wilkins—She says different. The Lo tt PMa vo Then she states that which is false. Mr. Wilkins—Hear ine. The LORD MAYOR—I will not hear you, Sir. What you have asserted is altogether false. Mr. Chambers, as Counsel for Mr. Barber, bore his testi tiraony. to the attention with which the Lord Mayor had con ducted the investigation, and the examination was resumed. A lady came to tea with us, and we afterwards went to her house to tea. Ile said she was a nice lady ,and a confidential friend of his. I do not recollect any other occasion when I had a conversation with him about it. There was a shop to let in Pimlico, and he endeavoured to take it for me and his daughter. He said he could put us in there and do a great deal for us. It was a high-rented shop, but no doubt we could make it do if we would try. He was to take it, and we were to pay bim at some future time. Miss Fletcher's name was to be over the door. I declined to have the shop. The lady who came to tea and he fre quently talked about the unclaimed dividends. I do not recollect the street we went to to see the lady, except that it was near Oxford-street. We went to see her at a musie shop, over which there were in large letters, the " Temple of Apollo." The lady we went to at the shop was called Miss Richards. I never heard her Christian name. I told my uncle frequently 1 could not do that which he had suggested to me. In consequence of that I left his house, for I saw that I was not treated with that familiarity which I had been. Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine—l have been living with my father at Barton ever since I left Fletcher. By Mr. Chambers—l left Fletcher in December, 1839. He never mentioned to me that he had an attorney who shared the plunder with him. Tucker used constantly to come there. He was short, and had light hair. I never heard where he lived. My father did not communicate to me the conversation he had had with Fletcher before I left to go to London. Tucker used to come at all hours. I never saw any papers prepared by him. He would sometimes stay three or four hours. I never inquired as to his business. 1 should know him again if I saw him, I have not been taken to look at any person bearing that name. Mr. Chambers—How many names could you give cf parties for whom Fletcher said he had got unclaimed divi dends ? Witness—Three. Two besides the name of Richards. He never gave the addresses. Ile never said what had be come of the money that he had got. I understood that if I would do as he asked me we were to share. Mr. Clarkson—Among other names that he mentioned did he mention the name of Barber? Witness—He did. Mr. Chambers—That is fairness. After I had conducted the cross-examination with the greatest delicacy, the counsel for the prosecution put the name of my client in their mouth. I hope this will go forth to the public as a specimen of the manner in which this prosecution is conducted. It is wrong there is no doubt of it, and let those who are fair decide if it is wrong.—(Cheers. ) Mr. Clarkson—My Learned Friend has elicited the cheers of some persons, and he is welcome to them, but as my Learned Friend had alluded to names in his cross-examination, I had a right to ask for names in my le-examination. Mr. Chambers—l demand that in future proceedings here every witness, except the one under examination, should be or dered out of Court. _ _ - Mr. Clarkson—Why did yon not do so before ? Mr. Chambers—Because I thought the case would be con ducted with forbearance and without laying traps. Re-examination resumed—He often mentioned Mr. Barber's name to me, but I never saw Mr. Barber. We were to have gone to him once, but we received a note from him. Mr. Chambers —All this ought to have been mentioned before. She might as well have mentioned Barber's name as the name of Richards or Fletcher. I shall demand a right to cross-examine. Mr. Clarkson—You may cross-examine as long as you like Mr. Wilkins, in order to afford his Learned Friends time to cool—(A laugh)—would take that opportunity of apologising for the wrong which he had been induced to commit by attend ing too implicitly to the instructions which he had received. The Learned Gentleman then, in the handsomest manner, ex pressed his regret forhis warmth. Mr Ballantine also bore testimony to the kindness and pa tience of the Lord Mayor. The witness then in answer to Mr. Chambers, stated that she had been talking to the attorney's clerk, while her father was being examined, but not on the subject of her evidence. Mr. Freshfield--1 lam conducting these prosecutions. I have been in the constant receipt of communications from England, Scotland, and Ireland upon this subject, and I think I shall be enabled to produce impartial evidence from Scotland, more particularly in the case of Stuart. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—l have not taken any steps to get any of those parties taken into custody who were mentioned by the constable of Barton. I do not think there wr.s any one of them unknown. Mr. Chambers—There is a gentleman we all know, whose name is Tucker. It is not that gentleman ? Witness—No. I may also state that what the witness stated with regard to Mr. Barber did not, in my opinion, affect Mr. Barber at all. Mr. Chambers—That is very kind of you. Mr. Clarkson—We may go farther, and state that there is reason to believe that the person named Tucker is not an at torney at all. Mr. Clarkson thon applied for a remand, and gave his Learned Friend notice that he should perhaps have to renew it, and he did this, in order that his Learned Friend might, if he pleased, apply to the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr. Chambers said that, seeing the great probability of this last case going to trial, and that his client's great object was to be restored to his fair fame and character, he thought in his fair, proper, and legal judgment Mr. Barber ought not now to ask to be committed on the first three charges. He had stated at the outset that Mr. Barber had acted only as a profes sional man, and he thought that what had come out this day would tend to his vindication, and would tend to show that throughout he had only acted as an attorney, although he had acted indiscreetly as an attorney. It therefore became his bounden duty to proceed to watch the evidence adduced ; and to express a wish that every name, every new discovery, should be the subject of inquiry, believing that every inquiry would be to prove Mr. Barber's innocence. After hearing Mr. Freshfield's evidence, he would not press for a committal, but would withdraw all opposition to the course which it had been proposed to adopt. He would not object to the further postponement of the case. Mr. Ballantine did not oppose the postponement. Mr. Chambers begged to say, that anything that he might, - in the heat of the moment have said that might seem to have cast a reflaction on Mr. Freshfield, had been completely soft ened down by the candid explanation which Mr. Freshfield had made, that what had been stated by the last witness did not, in his opinion, operate to the prejudice of Mr. Barber. He expressed his regret for what he had been induced to say in the heat of the moment. The case was adjourned to Friday neat, at eleven.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron ROLFE and a Com mon Jury. ) FEROCIOUS DOGS—ANDREWS V. SIMPSON. Mr. Jervis and another appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, against the de fendant, to recover compensation for the injuries which he had sustained, by having been bitten on the arm by a ferocious dog belonging to the defendant. Both parties are hair-dressers, the defendant being a master, carrying on business at No. 7, Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and at two other places. The plaintiff is a journeyman, and was employed by the defendant to assist him in his business, at the rate of eighteen shil lings a week. A few days after entering his service, he bad occasion to go to the back of the premises, and knowing that a ferocious and malicious dog belonging to his employer was kept there, he desired a lad, who was in the habit of feeding the dog, to go out and secure him in a shed. Immediately on entering the yard the plaintiff was seized by the dog, which fastened its teeth closely in his right arm, and was dragged, without relaxing his h - old, into the shop, where the plaintiff bled profusely, and the wound be ng con • sidered dangerous he was taken in a cab to Guy's Hospital, where he remained fora considerable time. On leaving which, though cured, he was totally unable to gain his livelihood as a hairdresser. The plaintiff's mother applied to the defendant for redress, or to give her son some pecuniary aid, as her son, from the severe injut ies which he had sustained, was incapacitated from filling his usual avocations. He told her she might "go to h-11 and seek redress." The dog, for which the defendant gave 5/. 55., had bitten a chill in the hand, and was well known in the neighbourhood as a ferocious and dangerous animal, and had been ordered to be destroyed by the Magistrates - of Union-hall. Or. the part of the defendant it was contended that the dog had seized the plaintiff whilst running across the yard, believ ing him to be a thief ; that the dog was not at large, and that considning the extreme poverty of the parties, a very small amount of damages would be amply sufficient. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 25/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 26. (Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a Common Jury.) HONE V. WINSTONE. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, the plaintiff being a widow of the name of Hone, residing at Merton, Surrey, and the defendant a shoemaker and owner of a number of houses in the Waterloo-road. Mr. Sergeant SHEE (with whom was Mr. Charnock) stated the case to the jury. The facts are sufficiently detailed in the following evidence Joseph Hayes, examined by Mr. CfIARNOCK, deposed-1 keep a beer-house at Merton. In the sprinc , of 1843 Mr. Winstone called on me, and inquired if I could' introduce him to some one who would take care of a sick child belonging to his son. Having known Mrs. .hone for six years, I recom mended her to him for that . purpose. I had long been ac quainted with her husband, who was bailiff and steward to a gentleman of the name of Payne, living in the neighbourhood of Merton for many years. After an interview with Mrs. Hone, the defendant said to him he thought she would do very nicely, being to all appearance a very comfortable soi t of woman. Mr. Winstone came down to Merton frequently afterwards, and always used my house. Mrs. Hayes and I took supper with him at Mrs. Hone's on one occasion after their return from the Moulsey races. Mr. Winstone has several times inquired of me as to her character, and afterwards, when I mentioned her name ' he has said to me, " Don't call her Mrs. Hone, call her Mrs. Winstone that is to be." He said so several times in pre sence of Mrs. Hone. .---.. Cross-examined by Mr. lIUMFREY—I lodge with the plain tiff now. She had two other lodgers, one of whom has since left. Part of the 4/. 10s. the plaintiff owed to her landlord, but he did not take any part of her goods away. She was not aware that the plaintiff was addicted to gin and water. She had been recommended by a medical man to smoke, being trou bled with water on the chest. Anne Payne, who had agreed, at the request of the de fendant, to act as " bridesmaid," and J. Mills as " father," gave evidence to that effect. George Higgins, nephew of the plaintiff, deposed to several c,nversations with the defendant, in which the latter declared his determination to marry Mrs. Hone. After making several inquiries as to her circumstances, and ascertaining that she had no property, he said he did not want money, he had enough to make both comfortable. All he wished was a respectable woman, who would make him happy at home for the remainder of his life. Cross-examined by Mr. lIUMFREY—I think it was my aunt that told me the defendant's first wife had only been dead a fortnight when he proposed marriage. I did not remonstrate with my aunt on the impropriety of marrying a man so soon after his wife's funeral. William Poile, a pig-dealer, was next examined—He stated that he had called on the defendant and remonstrated with him on his cruel conduct towards the plaintiff in refusing to marry her after inducing her to break up her establishment at Merton. The defendant, however, said he had become acquainted with another widow with some property, whom he had since mar ried ; but be was willing to allow the plaintiff 401. or 501. in consideration of the disappointment she had sustained. Mr. HU MFREV ' in a very humonrous speech, commen t e d a t some length on the facts adduced in evidence, and contended that the proposition which the defendant had made through the last witness was a just, fair, and reasonable satisfaction ts• the plaintiff for any injury she might have sustained by the break ing up of her little establishment. It was ridiculous to suppose that any affection could have existed between the parties, and no reparation could be necessary to wounded feelings in such a case as the present. The Learned JUDGE summed up, observing that the plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdict; the only question was as to the amount of damages. Undoubtedly this could not be considered a romantic case, there was no love between the par ties, but still there had been great misconduct on the part of the defendant, who had deluded the plaintiff with false hopes of a settlement in li:e, which in her circumstances was a matter of great importance. She was entitled to a reasonable com pensation for the actual loss she had sustained by the breaking up of her establishment, and, although no great injury had bees done to her feelings, for her disappointment of a com fortable establishment in life. The jury, after having consulted for a few moments, found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 2001. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 26. ( Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.) IN RE WILLIAM BROMLEY, OF GRAY'S -INN, SOLICITOR. The meeting for the choice of assignees was held this day when Mr. E. I. Blunt appeared for Dr. Lushington and other creditors; Mr. R. Palmer for Mr. Blair and others; and Mr. Reed as the solicitor to the fiat. The bankrupt was called at eleven o'clock, but did not answer. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said, it was most improper that the bankrupt should not be present at the proper time ; in future he would not wait. He knew enough of this case to know that the presence of the bankrupt was absolutely necessary. Dr. Lushington n o d A rc hd eacon Brymer, as executors of Mr. Wilkinson, appeared in Court in support of their proof, and were quite willing to be examined viva voce. The Counsel for the petitioning creditor was about to state that the great question would be, whether the creditors had other securities, and as no account had been rendered by the bankrupt, when Mr. Brumley appeared, and was reminded by the COMMIS SIONER that, although he was in ill health, he ought to appear at the early part of the meeting. Mr. Blunt said that, in his case, Mr. Bromley was co executor with the Doctor and Archdeacon, and they swore that they had no security whatever. Money had been paid off on mortgages which the bankrupt had pretended to advance to other parties, and till the last quarter the bankrupt had paid the interest as if the mortgages were in existence , a l t ho ugh he had never a d vance d a farthing. The Doctor's and Archdea con's proof this day would be for 17,0001., and there was also a private proof of the Archdeacon for 3,340/., money received by the bankrupt for mortgage money never paid over. An order of the Court of Chancery had been made for the repayment of this money, brit the fiat had first issued. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS suggested that the proof should he taken do Lene esse, and, if necessary, that there should be a private meeting, which was the best place for a s earchin g in q uir y . Mr. R. Palmer appeared for parties who would prove for 27,0001., and was willing to acquiesce in his Honour's sug gestion. Mr. Reece said that he did not intend to propose any as signees. If a party had security, and erroneously swore that he had none, he would lose his security, and this was the case with the petitioning creditor; he did not know whether he had er had not a security. The private proof of Archdeacon Brymer was then admitted. Mr. R. Palmer proposed to prove for Mr. Blair, of the city of Bath, as administrator of 1% r. Blair, deceased, 6,7004, and in his private character for 4,000/., and himself and brother for 14,700/., and 1,078/. interest, trust money of Thomas Blair's estate. Mr. Reece objected to Dr. Lushington's and Archdeacon Brymer's proof, as executors, against a brother executor, without an order of the Court. Mr. Blunt said it had been expressly decided that one exe cutor could prove against the estate of another executor, though a trustee could not. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS thought there would be ample means of investigating the proof at the private meeting ; if these technical objections were to be made now, a week, and not a day, for the choice of assignees, it would be a great delay of justice if he could not take proofs, subject to searching inves tigation, if uecessary, hereafter. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFREY—My pipemaker, Mr. Swingean, introduced Mr. Winstone to me. My pipemaker may also supply pipes to the plaintiff. I believe the lady does smoke a little.— ( A laugh.) I do not know that she is also very fond of gin and water. She sometimes comes to my Tom and Jerry shop for beer. She does not drink there. She smokes at her own shop.—( A laugh.) In the middle of April, vs hen I first saw the defendant, his wife was living ; she died, I believe, in May, and the bans for his marriage to the plaintiff were published on the 4th of June. The plaintiff kept a school at 'Merton, and a small confectioner's shop. She also kept lodgers. She still resides where she did, but her school is broken up. I have nut seen her smoking lately, not for the last two months. She smoked not cigars, but tobacco— " shag," I believe.—( Loud laughter. ) Catherine Glass, examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—I knew the plaintiff well, and knew her husband many years. He died about eighteen months since. I lodged with Mrs. Hone, and saw the defendant when he called to know if she would take his grandchild to nurse. Two or three weeks afterwards he called again, when 1 heard him say to Mrs. Hone he " had come on another subject ; he had lost his wife, and the breath was scarcely out of her body before his mind was directed to Mrs. Hone." He stayed to tea that afternoon, but went away in the evening. He came again next Sunday, and wished Mrs. Hone to go and take a walk with him, but she declined, observing that what he had to say he might stay at home. What passed between them then I did not hear, but on the occasion of another visit I heard him ask her to go to town and see his property. He wished her.. to part with some of her goods, dismiss her lodgers, and break up her shop and school. Looking over her furniture, he desired her to sell various articles, but sold her to keep her own bed, and he would have chintz hangings for it. The attentions of the de fendant to the plaintiff were always particularly kind. The defendant is more than sixty years of age ; the plaintiff is about forty-four. He has called Mrs. Hone " Mrs. Winstone" seve ral times in my hearing. He said he had no one to do any thing for him, not even to make his bed, and he would come and take Mrs. Hone to London as his wife. I remember Mr. Winstone taking the plaintiff to Moulsey races ; when they re turned, Mrs. Hone, Mr. Winstone, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, and I supped off some salmon and mackarel the defendant had sent to Mrs. Hone's. The defendant seemed to be very comfortable and agreeable on that occasion ; he said he meant to make Mrs. Hone his wife ; and as he was determined she should wear something that belonged to his former wife, he had twelve shil lings' worth of gold added to her ring, and she should be mar ried with it. He told her to get all her bills in by the time he came down again ' • and when she told him that all she owad amounted only to 41. 103., he said he should pay that, and take her out of the parish in triumph.—( A laugh.) He said he had 19 houses in Southwark, and sufficient property to make them both comfortable. He first proposed that the marriage should take place at Fulham, because he had friends there ; but it was afterwards arranged that the ceremony should take place at Merton. According to the directions given by the defendant, Mrs. Hone sold her furniture, broke up her school and shop, and parted with her lodgers. Finding she was de ceived she seemed very unhappy and mortified. Her contem plated marriage was well known in the neighbourhood, and she had not resumed her school. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Reece objected to the proof of a debt, if it were incurred in the character of trustee, and not executor ; but if there were to be a private investigation at the expense of the estate, he would be satisfied. The proof of the executors was then admitted de bane ease. Mr. Palmer, in answer to the Commissioner, said that Mr. Blair's 4,0001. was a sum which bad been invested on mort gage, which Mr. Bromley persuaded Mr. Blair to release, and the money was left in the bankrupt's hands for investment, which had not been done. This also was the case with all the other debts he was about to prove. The bankrupt, in reply to a question as to when he would be able to give an explicit account to the assignee, said he had been away from his office for six weeks, and his papers were in confusion. He had given information to each individual cre ditor. Mr. Reece said that, up to the present moment, neither the official assignee nor the creditors had received any account from the bankrupt: Sir C. F. WILLIAMS observed that this arose, probably, from the illness of the bankrupt. Mr. Reece said it was only necessary to give to the official assignee, in the gross, the information the bankrupt had given individually to the creditors. The bankrupt thought it would take a fortnight to complete this full information. He handed in a list of all his books. Messrs. klair's proofs were then admitted. The proofs this day made amounted to 50,0001. ; the whole debts of the estate being estimated at 120,000/. Mr. John Br3mer, brother of the Archdeacon, and Mr. Thomas Blair, were appointed assignees ; and Messrs. Pick ering, Smith, and Company were appointed solicitors to the assignees. ... (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE. ) THE ISLE OF WIGHT BANK—IN RE J. KIRKPATRICK. This day was appointed for the declaration of a dividend under this estate. Proofs have been admitted to the amount of 132,0001. ; 2s. 6d. in the pound has already been paid ; Is. 6d. in the pound more will be officially declared in a few days; and a further one of 6d. in the pound is expected. ( Before Mr. Commissioner HoutoYn. ) THE CANTERBURY BANK-IN RE HALFORD AND CO. A dividend meeting under this estate was held to-day, when it appeared the separate estate of Mr. Halford would yield a pre sent dividend of 3s. or 4s. in the pound, the joint estate having (as we understood) already paid ss. 9d. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday was 'appointed specially for hearing ap peals, of which thirty stand upon the list. Out of the thirty cases which stood upon the list, no fewer than twenty-eight were appeals between several parishes, one against the other, with regard to the set tlement of casual paupers, the support of illegitimate children, most of which were quashed in consequence V technical informalities. The sums expended upon these appeals, including attorneys' costs, lawyers' fees, and the attendance of agents and witnesses, must have been enormous ; and if even they had not been quashed, one or other of the parishes must have taken the burden of the pauper, and thus the rate-payers' pockets suffer for the litigation. Henry Smith, of the White Hart, Catherine-street, Strand, appealed against a conviction by David Jardine, Esq., of Bow-street Police-court, which concerned the convenience of a large body of men, whose business hours were those when others were at rest—namely, the newspaper compositors. The first witness called was Mr. Inspector Mullins of the F division. He stated that on the night of the 27th of May, he entered the appellant's house, and on entering a parlour where there.was no light he found four or five men and two women ; one woman and two of the men were lying asleep on the bench. The par ties inside the bar, and in attendance, professed igno rance of any person being in the room at the time, and said they always closed it at twelve o'clock. Mr. Smith had gone over to the Morning Post newspaper office, to receive his weekly payments for the refresh ments supplied to the printers of that establishment, at the time. Several prostitutes were in front of the bar when he (the inspector) first entered the house. The waiter at once brought in a light when it was called for. He believed it was a house where a great many printers connected with the Mornin7 Chronicle, the Morning Post, and most of the weekly papers, were in the habit of going to have refreshment after their respective papers were " made up." Mr. BODKIN, for the appellant, said he thought the Bench should, taking even the wording of the convic tion, quash it. It said the house was disorderly, and, in support of that, stated that some men and women were asleep, but it stated nothing about intoxication or riot. The CHAIRMAN said that this decision would press hard upon a landlord. Surely they could not designate a sleeping person as disorderly.—(A laugh.) Several witnesses were called, who proved that the room in question was always closed shortly after the theatres, and not opened agaiti until seven o'clock in the morning. On the morning in question Mr. Smith had gone over to the Morning Post office to get his weekly accounts from the printers, and at that time several persons were outside the bar, so that individuals might have entered this room unperceived by those in side the bar. It was proved also that the coffee-room was frequented by a number of printers from the Post and other morning paper, who were never done work before four or rive o'clock in the morning. The CHAIRMAN said it was the unpleasant lot of a most useful and valuable set of men to be compelled to stop up all night in their honest and respectable voca tion. It would be most unfair to prevent them from having some place where they could get refreshment, both during and after their working hours. Such being his opinion, and also that the premises upon which the conviction had been made were ill-founded, he should, with the concurrence of his brother magistrates, order the conviction to be quashed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Davis and John White were re-ex amined, the former charged with receiving, and the latter with stealing an ingot of brass, the property of 11r. Payne, of No. 68, Shoe-lane, brass-worker. Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of White, and Mr. Wolfe on the part of Davis: Mr. Ballantine stated that the prosecutor employed a number of hands, and it was evident he was being robbed to a considerable extent; as, in addition to the prisoners, two charges were pending at Union-hall, of having un lawful possession of his property. He, therefore, in self-defence, felt bound to seek that the law should be carried to extremity. White was in the habit of coining into Mr. Payne's foundry several times a day, and he had the means of either stealing the property himself, or carrying it out for some of IVir. Payne s workmen. White came as the servant of a respectable firm in the neighbourhood, in whose employ he had been many years. The evidence already taken was read over, to the effect that on Monday last Wardle and Barnes, two City po licemen were watching in plain clothes, and they saw White leave a small parcel at the bar of the Black Dog, in Shoe-lane, about five in the evening. About eight o'clock Davis went to the bar and asked if his foreman had left anything for him. The barmaid gave him the parcel. He was stopped outside the house, and the parcel was found to contain an ingot of brass, worth 3s. The barmaid identified the prisoners as having left and received the parcel. White was in the habit of leaving parcels for Davis. Mr. Ballantine now called Mr. Payne to identify the ingot. He said it was cast In a mould peculiar to his concern, and he never sold brass in the shape of ingots. Mr. Wolfe urged that no part of Davis's conduct be trayed a guilty knowledge, and he could show under what representations he received the property. Mr. Alderman HOOPER thought the proof of a guilty knowledge had not been made out against Davis, and he should, therefore, discharge him. He should commit White for stealing, but he would be remanded till the next day that the depositions may be prepared. A donation to the poor-box of 2L was received from George Woodfall and Son. BOW-STREET. Seven young girls were brought up from St. Giles's workhouse, charged with creating a disturbance. They were all about 14 years of age. The Governor of the workhouse said he had had two very comfortable rooms fitted up, and good fires kept, for these girls. Last night they broke the locks off the door, pulled open the skylight, and got on to the I roof of the workhouse ; and after having blackened their faces with the soot, they commenced dancing, and making a great noise. The prisoner Knight said the Governor had locked them in two rooms, so small, that they were obliged to sit on each other's knees, and so they were determined to get out. They were half starved in the workhouse, for they got but a pint of water and a pound of bread a-day. (The prisoners looked very plump and fat.) :She said she liked the prison, where she had often been, better than the workhouse, for it was much more airy there, and they had fine open yards to walk about - in. They got good food there and plenty of dinner. Vor her part, she liked the country house much better than the town house ; and when she left the country houSe for town, she always felt her health decline. —(Laughter.) Mr. JARDINE said it was evident that such a girl would corrupt all the rest. Knight—l am as quiet as a lamb ;so are we all. Mr. JARDINE sentenced five of the prisoners to three weeks' imprisonment, and the other two, Donovan and Hickey, who were young, to be sent back to the work house. The prisoners, when they left the bar, set up a loud hurra, and Knight expressed her regret that the sen tence was not three months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Hardwick on entering the Court yesterday, had the usual packet of letters from poor persons asking for pecuniary assistance, placed in his hands. Mr. HARDWICK told Clements, the chief usher, that the magistrates had been compelled to come to the de termination to receive no letters unless the statements in them were properly authenticated. The number of letters received during the present week alone, amounted to upwards of 100. It was quite impossible that these letters could all be attended to and the cases receive proper investigation. Besides, if some stop were not put to this letter-writing system, the Magistrates, instead of doing good by giving small sums away to the poor, would be creating a great evil, for they would unavoidably be the means of bringing into active operation the host of begging-letter writers, the idle and the profligate, who abounded in some quarters within the jurisdiction of this Court. Applicants, there fore, must distinctly understand that their written state ments must be accompanied by vouchers from respect able housekeepers and tradesmen to whom they were known, and that if this condition be not complied with their application will not be noticed. It must further be understood that reromm.nflat;onq will not be received from the landlords of the applicants, or from small shop keepers to whom they may be indebted. MARYLEBONE. • Teiteiday a wretchedly attired; but apparently strong- -• 4 and healthy young man, who gave his name Francis Evans, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, upon the following charge, preferred against him by Mr. Bingham, one of the Worship-street police magistrates— It appeared, from the evidence, that on the same day the prisoner was lying upon the pavement in the New road, and that he had chalked upon a stone close to him the words ." lam starving." Mr. Bingham, who hap pened to be passing, and thinking that he had seen the same man upon a former occasion, under similar cir cumstances, directed the attention of a constable to wards him, upon the sight of whom, he (the prisoner) got up, and as he was in the act of walking off, he was taken into custody. The object which Mr. Bingham had in view, while pursuing this course, was, that an inquiry might be gone into with the view of ascertaining whether the prisoner was one really deserving of relief, or an impostor who ought to be punished. The prisoner said he was a Coach-painter by trade ; he was a single man, and had been out of work some time. Jones, the usher, here stated that the prisoner had been brought to this Court more than once before, and convicted, and that upon each occasion he told the same story which he had done now.—He was committed to the House of Correction for a month. • LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday John Wood, sen., John Wocd, jun., and John Fclix vere placed at the ar before Mr. Norton, for further examination, on a charge of stealing a vast quan tity of printed paper from the Export Excise-office, in Tower-street, Tower-hill. • _ Mr. Mayow, solicitor to the Board of Excise, attended to prosecute. From the evidence it appeared that the two elder pri soners had been occasionally employed by the house keeper at the Excise-office, in Tower-street, to light the fires and clean out the place, and availed themselves of the opportunities afforded them of carrying away an im mense quantity of the printed forms used in the different departments, and sold it as waste piper to a great num ber of shopkeepers. The Court was much crowded with the persons who had purchased the paper from the prisoners, and after their evidence had been received, Mr.Mayow applied for another remand, which was granted. George Homes, a broker and appraiser, carrying on business at No. 25, Brick-lane, Spitaltields, who has been before at this Court to account fer irregularities in the discharge of his duty as broker, appeared on a sum mons charging him with making an overcharge in a case in which he was engaged, under very aggravated cir cumstances. The brief facts of the case were these:—On Wednes day; the 3d inst., Homes made a seizure of the goods of a poor old woman fur an arrear of rent of IL 55., and removed the goods on the same evening to his own pre mises. On the following Friday the poor woman came before Mr. Norton, and having related the miserable state to which she was reduced, principally by her hus band going to sea without signing the note, which would entitle her to a monthly allowance from the owner of his ship, that humane magistrate directed Saunders, one of the summoning officers, to see the parties, and make the best terms he could with them ; and, deeming it a fit case for relief from the poor box, said a reasonable sum would be given to settle the matter, and get the poor woman back her things. Saunders called upon the landlord, and on informing him of what the magistrate proposed, he, though a poor man, at once offered to take 20s. for his debt. The officer next went to the house of the broker, but was unable to see him until the Monday following. The poor woman herself, however, saw him, and told him what the magistrate had offered, and also the landlord, and he then said he could not re store the goods without his expenses. On the Monday he was again told that the magistrate would settle the matter; but notwithstanding this, he got the goods con demned, and ran up the expenses from ss. 6d. to 125., and would not part with them until the 1/. 12s. was paid. The landlord of the poor woman, in the course of the 1 1 proceedings, complained that though the defendant had been paid the money on Tuesday week, he had not been enabled yet to obtain his twenty shillings, and was there fore advised to take out a summons for him in the Court of Requests, s which he did. Mr. NORTON called on the defendant at once to pay the poor man his pound, and also tke sixpence he had paid for the summons. He (the defendant) could not suppose for a moment that the money paid from the poor-box was intended to be pocketed by him. The defendant, with evident reluctance, paid the IL 6d., and having pleaded guilty to an overcharge of 2s. in his expenses, Mr. NORTON, after some severe and pointed remarks upon what he termed disgraceful and disreputable con duct, convicted him in a penalty of three times the amount of the overcharge and the expenses. Mr. Nor ton also directed that the inventory and appraisement put in by the defendant should be impounded, as they were so irregularly drawn up as to subject him by an other mode of proceeding to very heavy penalties. WORSHIP- S 7 REE T. Yesterday a filthy old creature named Margaret Gra ham, was placed before Mr. Broughton on numerous charges of plundering little children of their clothing. The circumstances which led to the prisoner's de tection were these :—As Mrs. Eliza Sillery, the wife of a publican, residing in Mare-street, Hackney, was walking at dusk in the evening on the 16th instant, down the Middleton-road, which is very lonely, and leads from Dalston into the Kingsland-road, she heard the cries of a child a short distance off, and after listening some time, saw the prisoner kneel ing under a dark wall about twenty yards out of the road, in front of a little boy between three and four years of age. As the child kept crying and sobbing, she thought it suspicious, and stopped, when she heard the prisoner say, " Stop here, my dear, and I'll come back again in a minute." She then walked away from the child; towards the witness, but seeing she was observed, she became confused, turned back again, took hold of the little boy's hand, and led him down to the bottom of the wall, the child asking her to take him to his mother. The witness was now convinced the prisoner was steal ing the child, and went up to her, when she found the little creature without any external covering, shivering from head to foot, and crying, as the witness said, " ready to break its heart." She told the prisoner the child was not her's, but she said it was, and while she was :speaking the witness saw something hanging out under the prisoner's shawl, which she pulled on one side, when the prisoner dropped the child's cloth cloak, and fur tippet. The witness picked them up, and in stantly seized the prisoner by the arm ; she struggled violently to get away but she held her firmly, and called . for the police, which attracted the notice of an elderly gentleman, and brought him to her assistance, and be tween them, in spite of the resistance of the prisoner, succeeded in dragging her down the road till they met, a policeman, into whose custody they gave her. .The child could neither tell its name nor where it lived, but fortunately its aunt, Matilda Wright, came up at the moment and identified it as James Cowley, the son of respectable parents, residing in Brunswick Cottage, Hackney-road, from .whose door it had been decoyed about an hour and a half before. The prisoner had given the little fellow two apples to induce him to go with her, and they were still in his hand when Mrs. Sillery found him. The prisoner was remanded till yesterday for identi fication, as a great many other children in the neigh bourhood had been robbed by an old woman exactly answering the prisoner's appearance, but though several children were produced, and there could be no doubt the prisoner was the guilty party, they were all too young to depend upon their testimony, and the charges were obliged to be reluctantly abandoned. The pri soner was fully committed to Newgate on the case above stated. CHARITY.—H. 8., 51., and R.N.F., 10s., for the widow Hoscroft ; and half a 51. note from R.

George Kent, a marine-store dealer in Bermondsey, was brought up, charged as the receiver of the brass work of a fire engine belonging to St. Olave's parish, under the following circumstances : It appeared that since the destruction of Saint Olave's church by fire, the engine-house having shared the same fate, the engine and its appurtenances were kept locked up in an arch under the Greenwich railway. This place, it seemed, was broken open on Tuesday night, and the engine itself being of too unwieldy a description to carry off without detection, the thieves proceeded to wrench off all the brass-work, together with the copper tubes on the'new hose, thus rendering the machine totally useless, in the event of its being required. The follow ing day the prisoner sold the brass-work of the engine to a brass-founder in Shoe-lane, named Payne, the latter of whoin, on subsequently being informed of the circum stances of the robbery, gave information of the fact of his purchase from the prisoner, which led to the appre hension of the latter. A portion of the brass-work had "St. Olave's Palish" marked on it. Tbe prisoner, in accounting: for the possession of the article, said that he purchased it all of a man whose name, he did not know but whose person he should again recognise if he. saw him- The MAGis.Taxii; said that the prisoner gave a most ithstaisfactory j accOunt of the manner in which - he be came .possessed of the article, and remanded him. ' Three men, named Traniley, Bent, and Bishop, were charged with furiously driving a cart against the pony phaeton of Edward Crawley, Esq , of Battersea, throw ing that gentleman out, and smashing the vehicle to pieces. From Mr. Crawley's statement it appeared that on the preceding afternoon, between five and six o'clock, as he was driving his pony phaeton along Kennington lane, the three defendants, who were in a cart, came along in the opposite direction on the wrong side, in such a furious manner as to come in collision with the phaeton, which it upset, shattering it to pieces, and he (Mr. C.) was thrown out, and it was miraculous he was not killed ;as it was his arm sustained some injury. The phaeton was not only broken in the way described, but the pony was also very much hurt. The defendants:expressed their regret at what had taken place, and the man who was driving having under taken to pay for the damage sustained (upwards of 201.) the magistrate, at the intercession of the complainant, consented not to inflict the penalty, at the same time reprobating in strong terms their conduct in driving in such a reckless manner. GREENWICH. Yesterday Captain Henry Pratt, who stands charged w!th obtaining moneys from different persons, under pretence of procuring them advantageous engagements, was brought up for final examination before Mr. Jeremy, and the following additional evidence taken : Mr. Daniel Davies, owner of the brig Constanoe, lying in the Commercial Docks, whom the prisoner had re presented to Captain Parker, of Commercial-road, East, as a person who would appoint him to the command of the Dryope, another vessel belonging to the same owner ship, deposed that he had nothing whatever to do with that -hip. About ten days before the prisoner came on board, and represented himself as having been in the 2m ploy of Mr. John Davis, of Prince Edward's Island, and was going to that island in the spring. Had never made any appointments with the prisoner to meet at Lloyd's. Had no property or interesi in the Dryope. Pratt told witness he was going master of the Dryope. Tfiomas Andrew Carr deposed that he is owner of the Dryope ; the ship is in dock under a ship-keeper, no master being appointed to her since her voyage from North America. Prisoner came to Lloyd's, and was in troduced by the waiter, as a person wishing to see hint. He said he understood the ship was for sale, and two friends of his had gone on board to examine her, with as view to purchase, and that, if not sold to them, he was willing to offer terms. He said he had been in Cunard's employ, the great North American shipowner, and would give bills on that firm in payment. Witness de clined, having heard of the prisoner's proceedings. He ordered the ship-keeper not to let him on board again, many people having, he understood, being duped by the specious representations of the prisoner. Mr. JEREMY said he believed an extensive system o fraud had been carried on by the prisoner ; he should therefore, certainly send him for trial on the two chat-gots of Capt. Parker, and Mr. Hay, the shipwright. The parties were bound over to prosecute at the Sur rey Sessions. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Mr. Swainson, from the office of Mr. Jones, Solicitor to the Admiralty, applied to Mr. Ballantine, for process against Captain Thomas Dunnoti, the master of the brig Sarah Charlotte, now lying in tho London Dock, for having abandoned three British seamen, named Edward Wilkinson, Hiram Gibbs, and James Cline, at Bahia. Mr. Swainson said his application was founded on the 40th section of the Merchant Seamen's Act, and the circumstances were these :—The men shipped on board the Sarah Charlotte under articles at Guayaquil, a city and! seaport of Quito, in Colombia, on a voyage to Vigo, in Spain ; but owing to a scarcity of provisions and water, the vessel was compelled to put into Bahia, in distress. Here the three men who were subsequently abandoned were taken ill, and went ashore for medical advice. Captain Dunnett wished to send them to the hospital, and applied to the British Consul for his consent to their going there ; but the doctor to whom they applied. said the illness under which they laboured was very trifling, and with a little medicine and case they would soon recover. In consequence of this statement the Consul would not give his sanction to the seamen being sent to the hospital, and directed them to return to the brig. The captain, however, declined to receive them,. and said he would not have any sick men on board his. ship, and compelled them to fetch their clothes out of the vessel, and in defiance of the remonstrances of the British Consul, sailed without them. Two of the men now present were sent home in the barque Mary, of Liverpool, and had very recently arrived in Lon& n from that town, in a very destitute state. The other man joined an American ship at Bahia, on a voyage to New York. Her Majesty's Government considered this was a fit case for prosecution, more particularly as se, dangerous practice was growing up of abandoning sea men in foreign ports in violation of the express provi sions of Sir James Graham's Act, which declared that no master should discharge any individual person of his Crew without the previous sanction of the ambassador. consul, or vice-consul. Mr. Swainson then put in a cer-• tificate from the British Consul to the following effect,:— " These are to certify that Hiram Gibbs, Edward Wilkinson, and James Cline, seamen, were flat at this port of Bahia by Thomas Dunnett, jun., master .of the British brig Sarah Charlotte, of Harwich, on her voyage from Guayaquil to Vigo, without my sanction or know ledge. "EDWARD PORTER, ConsuL " British Consulate, Bahia, Oct. 30, 1843." Wilkinson, one of the seamen named in the Comas certificate, was then sworn, and confirmed the statement of Mr. Swainson. In answer to questions from the Magistrate he said he , went out in the Creole, Captain Stephenson, to South America, and was attacked with the fever of the country, and compelled to leave the ship. He shipped on board the Sarah Charlotte in June last, and remained with her four months. He was sure the Doctor at Bahia said that he and his shipmates would do well with a little medicine and care, and that there was no occasion for them to go to the hospital. Mr. BALLANTINE said the case was a proper one for inquiry, and he would grant a summons against Captain Dunnett, and ascertain the facts. Hiram Gibbs, another seaman, then got into the witr ness box, and was beginning to , make his statement , . when the Magistrate said both cases were similar, and there was no occasion for two summonses. Mr. Swainson then gave directions to Ellis, the second usher of the Court, to board and lodge the seamen for the present, and the Admiralty would be accountable for the expenses. The determination of her Majesty's Government t° prosecute masters of ships who abandon sailors in foreign ports, is likely to bring incalculable benefit to merchant seamen, many of whom, in the words of the Act of Parliament, " have been reduced to distress, and thereby tempted to become pirates, or otherwise Vie' conduct themselves." The master of a ship, who left 0, seaman on the African coast, was prosecuted by the Admiralty at the last Liverpool Assizes, and, upon cow viction, was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment- LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
