LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Dec. 12. LORD NELSON r. LORD BXIDPORT. Mr. PALMER resumed his arguments, which were com menced yesterday, and which were directed chiefly to wards substantiating the case of the appellant from the wording of the will of Iforatia Lord Nelson. V 1 CE- CHAIV CELLOR' S COURT, Dec. 12. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took un opposed petitions and short causes to-day, none of which possessed any points of public interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUM) IN RE FERRER'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This case came before his Honour on petition praying a reference to the Master to consider the propriety of extending the system of education pursued there to in struction in the Latin and Greek languages and all the branches usually taught in commercial academies. The foundation of the charity, situated in Tewkesbury, dates so far hack as James the First ; it received a charter from William the Third in 1698, but up to the present time the system of education pursued leas not advanced with the necessities of the age. His Honour referred it to the Master to inquire whether extension would be beneficial, and what system should be adopted, and whether any alteration should be made in the right and mode of admission to the charity, and in the continuance in the school. __ (Before Vice• Chancellor WIGIUM.) DYKES V. FARR. This case has been twice argued, and came on the second time this morning for judgment. The facts of it are shortly these:—Mr. Dykes, in 1775, being married to Susan Fsrr, made a settlement that, in case of the wife's death, her dower, 1,5001., and 5001. more, in all, 2,0001., should revert to Mr. Farr, her father, or Lis representatives. About twenty years after Mr. and Mrs. Dykes being both alive, they executed a tew deed of settlement, by which it seems to have been their intention to render the deed of the previous date void; but the means they took to bar the sum of 2,0004 in the first deed, by raising a new sum of 2,0001. dif ferently apportioned, failed in point of legal form. This second deed, in consideration of certain rights held by Mrs. Dykes being surrendered to Mr. Dykes during his lifetime, after that gave the reversion in favourof the next of kin of the wife. It so happened, that the representa tive of Farr entitled to claim under the first deed, is also the next of kin to Mrs. Dykes, and entitled to come in under the second. This his Honour remarked, in giving judgment, had no power to alter the effect of the deeds, whatever that might be. His I loNourt, on the former hearing, ordered the 2,000/. levied by the first deed to be raised with )ut prejudice to the sun] levied in the second. The cause to stand over. It was argued again at the instance of Mrs. Dyke's representatives claiming under the second deed. In giving judgment on the effect of that deed, after going through the points of his judgment on the first hearing, his Ilonour said the only observation he had to offer was, that the intention of the parties appeared to be, that the (itates of Dykes should be cleared from the sum of 2.0001., which would have gone to the representatives of Farr, and to raise a second sum of 2,0001. in favour of the reprt sentatives of Mrs. Dykes. The steps taken to clear the estates of the husband were not matter for the consideration of the wife, who had left nothing undone on her part to effect the object; it was for the husband to consider what steps should be taken for the purpose, The question, then, had now come OR to be considered, after the death of both, which occurred so long a time afts.r the deed had been executed, and after so great a lapse of years since their death, whether the wife's re presentatives were tJ be barred of all advantage because the husband not taken the proper steps. His Honour sail the suit had failed. Costs were reserved on account of an intimation of in tention on the part of the plaintiffs to move for a new trial COURT OF EXCHEQUEI?, Dec.l2. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, be 'ore the Loim CIIIEF BARON and Common Juries.) CHANCELLOR V SAMBROOK. This was an action on the case for injuries done to a valuable horse, to which the defendant had pleaded not guilty. Mr. Knowles and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Woolrych for the de fendant. The plaintiff was the well-known proprietor of the omnibuses running between Brompton and the City, and the defendant al coal merchant, carrying on business at the Arundel Wharf, Arundel-street. The transaction which gave rise to the present actioa occurred on the 24th of April last. About two o'clock on that day one of the plaintiff's omnibuses was travelling from the City towards the IVest-end, and met with no interruption or accident till it came to St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, when the driver, observing that a waggon was coming up Arundel-street, and intending to proceed in a contrary direction, drew up close to the pavement immediately opposite the Crown and Anchor in the Strand, to give the waggon ample room to pass. The waggon, how ever, which was afterwards found to be the property of the defendant, turned so sharply round the corner of Arundel-street and the Strand, that the wheels grazed the lamp-post, then ran against the pole of the omnibus, and finally passed over the hoof of the off horse draw ing the omnibus, inflicting injuries that ultimat e ly re sulted in the death of th animal. It was to recover damages for the loss the plaintiff had sustained by this accident that the present action was brought. Evidence having been adduced to prove these facts, Mr. 1117317 RM" addressed the jury fur the defendant, and afterwards called a number of witnesses to prove thnt the accident would not have happened had the driver of the omnibus exercised due and ordinary caution in the conduct cf his vehicle and horses. The jury found a verdict fur the defendant, on the ground that the occurrence was an unavoidable accident. BAIL COURT, Dec. 11. (Before Lord Chief Justice DertmAN, Mr. Justice PAT TESON, and MT. Justice COLERIDGE.) At the sitting of the Court this morning their Lord ships gave judgment in the following case, which has been so often before the public. BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN. Lord DENMAN said it would be necessary to enter at some length into the preliminary history of this case, for the purpose of explaining the general propositions of the supplicant.. It was alleged that the money which the supplicant claimed had been paid into the Bank of Eng land, and that it ,vas virtually received by the Crown in trust for him, for the purpose of paying him compen sation for the property he had lost at the French Revo lution. It was alleged that this was as clear a fact as if the supplicant's name had been mentioned in the treaty that had been entered into between England and France. On the part of the Crown very long and able arguments had been urged to prove that even altholigh the main facts put forward by the supplicant had keen proved in evidence, still there could be no judgment in favour of the supplicant in the form of his proceedings, inasmuch as the property provided for by the treaty was only land or chattels. The Court at first might feel some regret that this line of objection had not been adopted at an earlier period against the supplicant's claim, for it might have had the effect of bringing the whole pro ceedings to a close, and have thereby prevented c large expenditure of money. Coisidering, however, the nature of the authorities that had been cited, and the obscurity which hangs over their law, the course that had hem taken could not excite surprise ; for it was very natural that the advisers of the Crown should require all the facts to be distinctly proved which could constitute the claim, without surrendering one point of their jurisdic tion. The dignity of the Crown was such, as to require that if the right existed it should be pursued, without corning to any decision upon matters merely technical ; and it was the duty of the Court to examine as to whether the facts which had been found by the jury were such as to establish the rights of the supplicant. The Baron de Bode made his claim in the character of a British subject, for compensation in respect to property which had been confiscated in France .during the Revo lution. His Lordship having alluded to the conventions of 1806, 1815, and the Act of the 59th Geo. 111., pro ceeded to say, it was declared that there was a sum of 418,0001. deposited in the hands of Commissioners to pay off those claims which were guaranteed under terms of the treaty between England and France, and that more than 200,0001. of this money still remained in the Bank of England, having been paid them by the Go vernment ; and the supplicant claimed this sum, to make good the amount of compensation which he sought. The first step taken by the supplicant was in support of his character of a British subject, and the Court would assume, without giving that point conside ration, that his position so far was satisfactorily proved. The next question, however, was whether the supplicant was in such a situation as that the treaty could be fairly said to apply to him. The words of the treaty were to the effect, that the subjects of the two powers residing in each other's country shall be privileged to continue their particular: avocations without disturbance, so long as they committed no offence against the laws of the country in which they were living ; but in case of any suspicion of misconduct against the laws being com mitted, the parties shall be entitled to twelve months' notice, in order that they may have full opportunity of removing their property and effects frora the country. This favour, however, was to be denied them if they acted contrary to the established law of the country. That was agreed to in 1806. In 1814 a provision was made for the sequestration of the property of those who had com mitted certain offences against the laws of the country. The treaty in 1815, in the 9th article, considered the ne cessity,of executing the four additional articles of the previous treaty, and it said that the subjects of the English Government had claims upon the French Go vernment, such person s as, since the Ist of January, 1791, had suffered confiscation, and that they should be idemnified and paid when their claims should be admitted as legitimate. This was a disputed pass age of the tre a ty, and it was said that it only recognised those' claims, and indemnified such, as were made according to the terms, and under the conditions, to be hereafter stipulated. In the treaty of commerce which had been entered into, i n respect to emigration, it was declared that the supplicant should set forth the whole particulars upon which he founded his claim; but the second clause stated that if these conditions were violated by him, he was to be pre • vented from removing his property and effects. Tha spirit of the two treaties, it was said, engaged to protect the supplicant's property, provided that he made it clear that the revolutionary government had confiscated his property. The inquisition, however, merely stated the facts that had occurred, and left the Court merely to draw the inference that the property had been unlaw fully confiscated. It did not say that this confiscation immediately followed the revolution in the country; on the contrary, it appeared that there was a viola tion of the law of emigration on the part of the sup plicant. The Court could not take judicial notice of the mea t ning of the word, nor p ronounce t h e law in respect to i. The general proposition could not be maintained w.iless it was proved that the individual was not in any .ay amenable to French law. If this law of emigration was not proved absolutely void es against the supplicant, they found that there was no complaint ever made of the THE SUN, _LONDON, SATURDAY MORN] French tribunal having pronounced sentence under it. They might constitute themselves a court of error in point of law, and a court of appeal in respect to all sen tences pronounced against British subjects ; but, what ever they knew of the French Revolution, they would not be justified is giving an opinion in any case without direct proof of the whole particulars as well as the na ture of the inquisition entered into. It appeared that the Baron de Bode had taken refuge in the Austrian army at the time it was actually invading the soil of France. No statement whatever appeared on the inqui sition that his claim had even been admitted, or any amount ascertained ; but the contrary in both respects. The Act of George 111., which was founded on the treaty of 1818, had for its object the providing for those claimants to whom the indulgence had been guaranteed. These were such persons as had caused their names to be duly registered within the period described by the convention of 1818. The supplicant alleged neither that his name or claim had been registered until after the passing of the Act. The Court could not see how it was possible to extract any claim, legal or equitable, to the payment of any money, the nature of which claim, or the amount of which had never been clearly established. Until such an inquiry was properly made, the Lords of the Treasury must have had good reasons for refusing the indulgence (guaran teed under certain circumstances) to the supplicant. The ' Court was, therefore, left to draw those inferences which he should have drawn for himself. Even if the main facts were maintained, the question would remain as to whether her Majesty should be said to have received the money that the supplicant laid claim to. A rule for a mandamus, to be directed to the Lords of the Treasury, had been applied for before Mr. Justice Coleridge, who discharged the rule on the ground that the Lords of the Treasury were the servants of the Crown, acting for the Crown, therefore there would be a great incongruity in placing the Sovereign in the situation of issuing a writ against the Sovereign. The Court thought it right to express doubts upon some points of the case, but in re spect to this point, their Lordships had no doubt what ever. They were, therefore, of opinion that there was no money received by the Sovereign, and further that it had not been received to the use of the Sovereign. The other business was not of public interest. SHERIFFS' COURT, Dec. 11. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL and a Common Jury.) PROCLAMATIONS OF OUTLAWRY. This being the County Court-day for Middlesex, Mr. Kemp, the officer of the Sheriff, made proclamation in the usual manner, and the following persona not answer ing to their names, were declared outlaws at the suit of their respective creditors:—John Aden Smith, Henry Hope Vernock, Augustus Pocock, Henry Lescombe, John Mynde Cooke, at two separate suits; Robert Rout ledge Craiz, the lion. W. H. Byng, Richard Everett Walker, George Swaby, George Pitt Rose, and Sir Henry Chudleigh Oxendon, Bart. SEQUESTRATION OF A CLERGYMAN'S LIVING -SMITII Sentence, to be severally transported for life. Margaret Pattinson, aged 27. John Brown, aged 30, and Mor Best, aged 28, were tried for having, on the 16th of October last, at Leeds, feloniously and violently stolen a purse, two sovereigns, and some other articles, from the person of Benjamin Wheater. The prisoners were all convicted, and each sentenced to transportation for life. Jonathan Bennett, aged 25, a mechanic, charged with manslaughter, in having killed Mary Knowles, at Shef field, on the 16th of August last, was found guilty of a common assault. It was proved that the prisoner had struck the deceased some blows, while in a state of in toxication; but it appeared probable that she had died of apoplexy rather than from the act of the prisoner. Sentence, to be imprisoned one week, the prisoner having been in custody during three months before his trial. (Before Mr. Justice Enut.) Joseph Broadben twu,s charged with an offence against the bankrupt laws, in having on the 24th of October last, at Leeds, feloniously refused and neglected to appear to a summons of the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy. In the opening of the case by Mr. Hall, it was ad mitted that, although a notice to appear had been served on the baukrupt, the manner of serving it was not in strict compliance with the Act 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 122. His LORDSHIP said he had considered that point upon a previous occasion, and deemed such compliance essential to support a criminal proceeding of the present kind. Without it the prosecution must fail, according to the view he took of the statute. The prisoner was therefore Acquitted by direction of the Court. Joseph Hutchinson, 31, was indicted for having, on the 9th of August, at Sheffield, feloniously stabbed, cut, and wounded Ebenezer Hutchinson with intent to do hira grievous bodily harm. Mr. Overend and Mr. Phillips conducted the prosecu tion. The prisoner was undefended. It appeared from the evidence of Ebenezer Hutchin son. who is the prisoner's own brother, that both of them had been working together in a colliery at Attereliff. They had frequently had quarrels : and the prosecutor had heard that the prisoner had been telling tales against him to the manager of the colliery, in order to cause him to be discharged from his employ. On the day in question they were in a public•house together, and after leaving it the prosecutor saw the prisoner in the street, talking with two other persons. He approached him. and said, " Well, Joe, what halt got by thy tale-telling?" The prisoner replied, " I'll tell thee." He (the pri soner) lifted his fists at the same moment, and squared, as if to fight. The witness immediately knocked him down. Shortly after they again met in the street, when the prisoner came up to the witness, who immediately felt himself stabbed by his brother. He " let his bowels out." The wounded man then went to Mr. Shaw, the surgeon, "carrying," as he expressed it, "his bowels in his hand." Mr. Clayton, the assistant of the medical man, proved that th prisoner afterwards, in speaking of the wound inflicted, said that he hoped his brother might die. Mr. Justice ERLE, in sentencing the prisoner, observed to him, that whenever recourse was had to deadly wea pons in this manner, an example would certainly be made in the Courts trying persons for such offences. This was a remarkably aggravated offence, and the sen tence, therefore, was, that the prisoner should be trans ported for the term of fifteen years. Liverpool, Dec. 10. Their Lordships were engned during the greater part of the day in the trial of a class of cases the parti culars of which are unfit for publication. Nothing of pubic interest occurred in either Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. George John Ford, a printer, was brought befor.) Alderman Hunter, charged with arson. Baker, the ward beadle of Cripplegate, stated, that on Wednesday the Coroner of London called an inquest to inquire into the cause of a fire which had recently oc curred in Braim's-buildings, Beech-street, Barbican, by which two houses were burnt; and the prisoner was given into his custody by the coroner, with directions to bring him before the magistrate. The jury had found a verdict that the prisoner had wilfully set fire to the premises. Mr. Alderman HUNTER asked if any one appeared to prosecute him for the offence? Baker said the witnesses were in attendance, and there was a gentleman on behalf of the Imperial Fire-office. The gentleman referred to rose, and said he attended to watch the case, but ne had not received any instruc tions to prosecute. Mr. Alderman HUNTER asked the beadle if he had any witnesses who had not been examined before the co roner ? Baker answered that he had not. Mr. Alderman HUNTER said the case appeared to have been sent before him by the courtesy of the Co roner of London, but as a warrant of commitment would be issued by the coroner, and the witnesses had been boned over to appear at the Central Criminal Court, it was needless for the magistrate to travel over the same ground. His abstaining from doing so involved no failure of justice, and he should allow the prisoner to st4nd committed on the coroner's warrant. The Coroner of London shortly afterwards reach e d the office, and s a id h e had heard from the beadle the result of the proceedings, but he wished to explain to the Magistrate the reason he had sent the case before him. The prisoner had caused two houses to be burnt, one of them being his own house. The burning of this was a felony by the statute, but not by the common law, and therefore he, as coroner, could take no cogni sance of that offence, and sent the matter before the Magistrate for inquiry. At the same time he must be permitted to express his surprise that the solicitor for the Imperial Fire-office had stated that he had no evi dence to offer, no instructions to prosecute. He expected the fire-office would be the first to support a prosecution and take care the ends of justice were secured, and he was surprised to find the solicitor was not prepared to say what course he would take. He had committed the prisoner only for burning the house next to his own, which was an offence by the common law us well as the statute law. The solicitor to the fire-office said they were not in different to the matter, but had not determined what course they should take. He thought the remarks of the coroner were uncalled for, as the Queen was the prose cutor. The Coroner asked him if he shut his eyes to what was passing daily round him ? Did he not see public bodies, and even individuals, prosecuting charges in police courts, by the aid of counsel, to take care that the ends of justice should be attained ? Mr. Alderman HUNTER asked if the witnesses were still in attendance ? The beadle said they were net. There was only one remaining, who would depose to a conversation he had with the prisoner. The ALDERMAN said he had heard enough to justify him in detaining the prisoner :for further examination; and he therefore remanded him. CLERKEN WELL. James North, late a private in the 2d Regiment of Foot, was placed in the felon's dock, charged with bur , glariously entering the house of Messrs. Walker, sur geons, 57 and 58, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, and stealing therefrom a gold watch, brooch, and other articles ; also, on suspicion of being concerned in bur glaries at the houses of Messrs. Darlow, Baldwin, and Neale, 61, 62, and 63, in the same street. The prisoner was undefended. It appeared from the evidence that, on the night of the 22d of November last, a series of burglaries of a most daring description were committed at the above-men- men rifled his breeches pocket of the purse and its con tents, and then left him. On endeavouring to rise he found s bludgeon, or a thick stick, of about two feet and a half long, tying across his breast. This stick he kept, and gave to a person living near by. It was a round knotty slick, apparently a bit of a sapling, and from its having a broken nail in it, was described by Ward as having formed part of a paling-fence. Several other witnesses were called to show that the men at the bar were seen on the road near the plane of the robbery, both shortly before and shortly after it was committed. A woman going out to milk some cows noticed them pass near the spot at about five and some neighbours of the prosecutor, who followed him on the road from Whitby soon after he left, identified the prisoners as two men whom they had met walking at a quick pace towards the town, at about half-past eight. A police-officer of Whitby said that he had met the prisoners at a late hour on the night preceding. They stated to him that they were destitute, and without a lodging. He procured a lodging for them for that night in a house in the town, and there, it appeared, they had no means of paying for either breakfast or dinner, as they left the house in the morning, and took no meal there during the day. But on the following evening (that of the robbery) they re appeared at their lodging-house, and they then brought with them some bread and cheese ; and Blades, on being asked if they wanted any tobacco, said they had plenty. A woman at the house asked them if they had " done anything," and Kirk said, " Yes, they had got as much money as would pay for their lodging," and for that they paid 6d. Mr. Wilkinson, the constable of Whitby, stated that, on being called on to apprehend the pri soners, he had asked them how they had obtained the bread, some of which he found along with them. They said they had begged it in the town, but could not say where. The wife of a joiner, in Whitby, proved that, at near nine on the evening of the robbery, Kirk came into a shop kept by her, and there purchased about 21b. of bread, for 4d. He asked for some cheese, but they had none for him. He was then alone, and he produced is. in silver, receiving Bd. in copper for the change. The piece of bread found by the constable was not now pro duced, but another piece was produced in Court, to show the description of the bread found. The constable said it corresponded exactly with that sold at the shop, being of a similar shape, and what is termed "sad" (heavy) bread. The woman from the shop deposed that such was the kind of bread sold to Kirk. It ap peared from the evidence of a grocer, from another shop at the next door, that Blades purchased half a pound of cheese and half an ounce of to bacco at about the same time ; and he also appeared to come alone. He paid fourpence for the two articles. A medical gentleman, who had been to see the old man professionally, immediately after he was robbed, said that when he found him at his house he seemed half stupified—" maned." His face was covered with blood. There was a severe wound on his right temple, and a severe bruise behind the left ear, and his face was scratched, as if from falling with it upon the ground. Upon these facts, after the Learned Judge had taken a full review of them in his summing up, the jury almost immediately pronounced a verdict of Guilty as to both the prisoners. In passing sentence, the Learned JUDGE addressed the men at the bar in terms of strung condemnation of their crime. His Lordship reminded them that that crime would but a short time ago have had to be expiated upon the gallows, and told them that if the prosecu tor's life had been taken away by their violence they would certainly have forfeited their own lives as his murderers. Honed houses, but since then the police have been unable to discover the perpetrators. Nothing could be more adroit than the meaner of their execution, and one would be led to think from the circumstances con nected with them, that the burglars were more desirous of showing their skill than of acquiring gain, for in Mr. Walker's they took a watch from the very bedroom in which he slept, leaving untouched another gold watch which stood upon the table. From the same room they took a bunch of keys, not minding about 100/. in gold and notes which were within their reach. From another of the houses they carried off 10/. in cash, and never meddled with a drawer full of plate which lay open be fore them. They forced their way into the lower part of Mr. Walker's house, and entered the others by the windows. They escaped with their booty undetected. The prisoner lives in Bridgewater-gardens, Chiswell. street, a:id although, without a pension, and destitute of any means of obtaining a livelihood, has a very comfort. able home. When arrested by inspectors Lernan and Tate, of the G division, he had two knives and five counterfeit crown pieces on his person. He was ar rested in consequence of information given by a man named Tapp, to whum the prisoner said that on the night of the robbery he was going home along St. John-street, when he saw a ladder against one of the windows. He further said that the stolen watch was offered for sale for the sum of 51.. and mentioned other incidents connected with the burglary. When apprehended, he stated that a man, named " Civil Jack," was on the watch outside Mr. Walker's, whilst the others were wi , rking. " Civil Jack" has since been discovered, and denies all knowledge of the matter. He is quite a poor fellow, of good character, and no suspicion attaches to him, further than the ♦ery questionable declaration of the prisoner. It should be stated that at the prisoner's house were found fifty duplicates fur gold rings and other articles of value. The prisoner denied any participation in the burglary, and said he found the base coin in the street. He was remanded. LAMBE,TH. SERIOUS CHARGE. AGAINST A RAILWAY POLICEMAN. William Moore, late a policeman on the South-Western Railway, was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with violating the person of Sarah Prevett. Mr. Dalby, the superintendent of policeon the South- Western Railway, said that three weeks ago a repre sentation had been made to him by one of his sergeants with respect to the misconduct of the prisoner towards the young woman, which he felt it to be his duty to place before the manager, and the result was, that the prisoner was ultimately dismissed from his situation. The Directors felt, from the prisoner having been em ployed by them to protect the public, his conduct had been such that, in addition to his dismissal, they ought to send him before a magistrate, and had instructed him (Mr. Dalby) to state that should his Worship be of opinion, after a full investigation of the circumstances, that the case was one for prosecution, they would be accoantuble for all the expenses. The complainant, a rather pretty-looking young woman, who gave her evidence with some reluctance, upon being sworn, stated that on the day before ( Wed• nesday) three weeks, she obtained leave from her mistress to visit her father and friends at Kingston, and had paid her fare to go by the South-Western Railway. When about to enter the train, the prisoner, who opened the carriage -door for her, asked her where she was going, and what time she should return, and she told him, and said she would be hack by the six o'clock train ; upon which he said he should be on the look out for her. She did not return so early as she intended, but on arriving at the Nine Elms-station she saw the prisoner. He ex pressed a great desire to see her home or part of the way home, and she, at his request, waited in front of the station for him until he had done duty for the night. The prisoner and herself then proceeded as far as Tower hill, on her way to her mistress's, when Moore re quested she would go into some public-house with him, that he might have an opportunity of taking down her address, in order to write to her. She went into a public house with him, when they had a pint of ale, and where he kept her till half-past eleven o'clock at night, though her proper time to be home was ten o'clock. The prisoner then told her it was no use her attempting to go home that night, arid said that if she accompanied him to his lodgings in Battersea-fields, his land lady would procure her a bed for the night, and she could get home on the following morning. Upon his promise that a bed should be provided for her, she accompanied the prisoner to Battersea, but on getting there he said the people at his lodgings were all asleep, and there was no use disturbing them. He also said he knew of a house in Battersea-fields, where they could sit until the coffee shops were opend in the morning, and not suspecting he meant anything wrong, she went with him until they reached a shed and some haycocks, and here for the first time he commenced taking improper liberties with her. She succeeded in defeating two attempts upon his part to vio • late her person, but in his third attack he effected his pur pose. Her clothes and bonnet were much injured by the muddy state of the field, but after cleaning them as well as she could, she, on the Thursday morning, went to the house of her mistress, said she had unfortunately missed the train, and could not get to town on the night before. Her mistress, however, refused to take her back, and discharged her. She removed her boxes to the house of her aunt and uncle, and on the same evening went to the Nine Elms terminus to see the prisoner. She spoke to a _sergeant of the railway police, who questioned her about her intimacy with the prisoner, whom he represented to be a married man, and she told him what had happened, and by his directions she went before the superior officers of the railroad on the follow ing day. Upon being closely questioned by the Magis trate, the witness reluctantly admitted that, after coining out of Battersea-fields, she had accompanied the prisoner to his lodgings, and that there a repetition of the act took place without her making any resistance; but added, that this was in consequence of the prisoner making the most solemn promise of marriage, and declaring he would never forsake her. Mr. Dalby here said, that upon being spoken to in the first instance by the manager of the railway, the prisoner had offered to marry the young woman, provided it was found that she was respectable, and that her character was good. The manager in consequence kindly insti tuted an inquiry, from which it appeared that the father of the young woman was a very decent man, and had been for some years in the service of the Woods and Forests; and the young woman herself was also found to be a person of good character; but the prisoner, notwith standing., did everything to evade his promise. Mr. NORTON observed, that the conduct of the pri soner was most disgraceful, and the case was a very proper one for the directors of the railway to take up. The prisoner was employed to protect the public, and particularly those travelling by t h e ra il roa d , and should be the last to be guilty of such disgraceful conduct. The prisoner was remacded.

The case was considered important, as many others of a similar nature will be finally governed by it. It was before the Court on the 17th ult., and was adjourned to allow time to consider the arguments pro and con. The article on which the question arose, b y one party called coal, and by the other fuel, is a large brick-shaped black mass, with a surface like granite. It was admitted to be for the most part composed of coal and coal tar, with a slight admixture of peat ; but the coal being, as alleged, deprived of its sulphuric acid gas, which formed one of the elementary qualities, it WAS contended it was no longer the same substance commonly known as coal, and therefore did not come under the description of any of the three substances mentioned in the Act as liable to dues—namely, coal, culm, or cinders. Yesterday it was proposed by the defendant that the summons should be withdrawn, and the case tried by action. Mr. Pear son refused to accede to this. He would first take the Magistrate's decision, and if that went against him, pro. ceed by action. Mr. Ballantine, the Magistrate, pre- I sided. Mr. Ballantine, jun., after reverting to what took place on the previous occasion, said he had Mr. Marsh and Dr. Ure now present to support the argument which he had formerly urged, namely, that the coal had entirely changed its character and become a new sub stance by the process it had undergone. The Magis. trate's decision on the case vviii looked for as a matter of great importance. One of the questions to be settled was, whether the substance in question was coal or not. When coal was spoken of, it was generally as the na tural product of the mine without any alteration, but the article had been materially altered bond fide, and not with a view to evade the City dues, and moreover, the cost per ton was more than the cost of coal. It should always be observed that the law was averse to taxation. and always construed the Acts favourably to the parties liable to it. He would show this by two cases from Barnwell and Aldersen's reports. The first was the case of Casher against Holmes, where harbour dues were claimed on gold as coming under the head of " all other metals." Lord Tenterden, in that case, said "all other" in the Act of Parliament must be understood in the com mon popular sense, and in that sense they certainly did not include gold and silver ; and Judge Littledsle agreed, saying they were always distinguished as precious metals. The other case was the " Kingston-on-Hull Dock Company v. Browne and others," when Lord Ten. terden used the phrase, " according to the popular and general meaning of the word, which is the general meaning of the words used in Acts of Parliament not relating to matters of science." Mr. BALLANTINE, sen., said the words of the Act were coals, coke, and cinders. These were then from the same substance, yet each was specified. He would not call science to analyse the substance then in ge es Lion, but simply ask himself, was it not within the terms of the Act, and as the word was colloquially understood? He could not say it was, and entertaining that doubt, he would not inflict a penalty ou the defendant. Mr. Pearson—ls that your decision, sir ? The MasaisTasaTE—Yes. I have considered the sub ject much since the vase was here before. I do not think them coals under the term used by the Legislature, and entertaining that doubt, I will not exercise a sum mary jurisdiction. Mr. Pearson —Then it is your opinion that these are not a sort of coal which the City should claim dues on. The MAGISTRATE—I am not in Parliament to give an opinion. I merely construe the Act as I understand it. Mr. Pearson—l understood the case was adjourned to obtain the opinion of scientific men. Here are Dr. Ure, Mr. Marsh, and others. Mr. BALL 4 NTINE—No ; it was adjourned that I might satisfy myself. I should always be happy to converse with these gentlemen. I have spoken to several on the subject, and I find it is still a vexata qucestio. Mr. Pearson —Your opinion seemed to incline the other way on the last occasion, had. we then pressed for a decision. V. NISBETT. Mr. PHINN made several objections to evidence being received of money received by the witness on account, after the action was brought, contending that money re ceived on the 23d of April could not be taken into con sideration. On cross-examination, the witness stated that he was the officer of the Rishop, but paid over to the defendant the rents he received. He was not aware that Mr. 1)u Pasquier had a lien upon the living. He paid the motley to him as defendant's attorney, under the sequestration. Mr. Du Pasquier gave him no notice that he had a lien upon the living. - Mr. PmINN said he understood from Mr. Du Pasquier that be had a lien upon the living, but as that appeared not to be the fact, he would leave the ease in the hands of the Court. The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain if—Damages, 3221. 165.:7d. SECONDARIES' COURT, Dec. 12. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) SHAW V. FRIDAY. This was an action brought by Mr. Shaw, solicitor, of Fish-street 11ill, against the defendant, Thomas Friday, steward on board a Gravesend steamer, for 161. 13s. 4d., the amount of a bill of costs. Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas' for the defendant. It appeared that two actions had been brought for the defendant against parties fur money lent, and for rent due, in support of which two clerks of the plaintiff's ►ere called, and gave evidence as to the nature of the business, but prevaricated very much in cross-examina tion. Mr. THOMAS, for the defence, urged the want of evi• dence as to a retainer, and gross overcharge in the account in various items, and commented upon the un satisfactory manner one of the clerks gave his evidence, having deposed, in the first instance, that he had at tended himself on certain occasions, and afterwards denying having done so. The Learned SECONDARY, in summing up, pointed out various items in the bill as exorbitant, and in several cases considered 3s. 4d. quite sufficient where 6s. 3d. was charged. The jury, after being locked up for some time, re turned a verdict for the defendant. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Dec. 12. (Before the RECORDER and a Common Jury.) CIBSON GOWDIE—GODWIN GARNISHEE. This was an attachment issued at the instance of the plaintiff to attach and recover the sum of 85/. 133. ltd. due from the defendant to the plaintiff. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Randall for the garnishee. The defendant formerly resided in this cou.:try during which time he contracted the debt in question, and shortly after left for Sydney, where he now resides, Mr. Godwin, a merchant in the City, the garnishee in the present . case acting as hi s agent, ;he plaintiff ascertaining that he held a sum of rceoey in hand belonging to the defendant, made an affidavit of the defendant, and took the effective measures peculiar to the ancient practice of this Court, being the only city in England, with the exception of the city of York, that is invested with the power of attaching money in the hands of a third party, at a time when a defendant is not residing within t e jurisdiction of this or any of the superior Courts :':,Westminster. Mr. LAURIE hag opened the pleadings, Mr. RYLAND said it was unnecessary further to trouble the jury, as he understood the parties agreed to consent to a verdict. Mr. RANDALL said he appeared for Mr. Godwin, the garnishee, and he was instructed to consent to a ♦erdict for 851. 13s. I id. A verdict for the plaintiff for that amount was then taken. LITTLE AND OTHERS V. CLINTON. Mr. LAURIE applied to the Court to fix the day for hearing arguments upon the exceptions filed to the answer of the defendant to a bill of discovery, filAl in aid of an action commenced by the plaintiffs, money brokers, at New York, against the Union Bank of London, to attach the sum of 2,0001., deposited by the defendant with them, and which, it is alleged, formed part of a sum of 4,5001., stated by the plaintiffs to have been obtained by the defendant, Clinton, from them by means of a forged order, and with the proceeds of which he ab sconded from America to this country. After some conversation, The RECORDER appointed the 9th of January to hear the arguments of counsel, and intimated, if it should be come necessary, he would also sit on the following day. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NURTIIE RN CIRCUIT.— York, Dec. 10. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Thomas Kirk, 27, and John Blades, 19, two stou, young men, having much the appearance of rail way "na vigators," were indicted for that they, on the 27th of September last, at Ilawsker-cum-Stainacre, in the North Riding, feloniotkly and violently did assault one 'Wil liam Ward, and steal from his person one shilling and twopence. Mr. Blanchard, with whom were Mr. Shaw and the Hon. Mr. Phipps, conducted the prosecution. The pri soners were both sodefended. The prosecutor, an old man, in a humble station of life, stated that he lives at Stainacre, which is situate at about two miles from Whitby. On Saturday, the 27th of September last, he went to the town of Whitby to make some purchases, and was on his way home, on foot, at about eight o'clock in the evening, when, at some distance from the town, he saw two men in the road. He could not recognise the prisoners ; but ho stated that on approaching the men there was something in their manner which excited his apprehension, and he could perceive that one of them had on a dark dress, and the other a light one, and that was afterwards shown to be the dress of the prisoners on the night in question. They immediately closed upon him. One of them, he could not say which, seized him by the neck ; he received a blow on the neck or head, which felled him ; immedi ately after another blow on the side of his head. He had a purse in his breeches pocket, eon in P his waistcoat. Th e c in opp s e i r l : e b r, esid a e n s d s tniweia halfpencep e n o c r e ti: In this case Mr. Gray appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Phinn for the defendant, the action being brought to recover the sum of 3221. 16s. 7d., under the following circumstances:— From the statement of plaintiff's counsel, it appeared that in July, 1844, the plaintiff, Mr. Henry Vincent Smith, recovered judgment against the Rev. Charles Wetherall (whose name has been recently before the public in the celebrated action for crim. con., brought against him by his son-in-law, Mr. John ➢iynde Cooke), the rector of Byfleet, Northamptonshire, fur a debt of 1,5001. The beneficial interest of the living came into the possession of a Mr. Henry Nisbett, the brother of the defendant, who was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 3001., which the defendant covenanted to pay with interest. Thi3 debt accrued under these circum stances:—Some time since the Bishop of Peterborough, in whose diocese the living is situate, issued his warrant sequestrating the living of Byfleet, and ordering that the debts of the Rev. Mr. Wetherall should be paid out of the profits of the living. The plaintiff being the first sequestration creditor at the commencement of last year, sent in his claim, the defendant entering into a covenant to pay him 3001., with interest. As this was not done the present action was brought, the defendant admitting, by allowing judgment to go by default, that there were some profits of the living in hand. Mr. H. P. GATES, solicitor, of Peterborough, said that he held a warrant from the Bishop of Peterborough to sequestrate the living of Byfleet. Under that sequestra tion he was appointed to receive the rents, and had re ceived a sum of money amounting to 1,561/. Before the 23d of April in the present year he received the sum of 541/. 18s. 110. Of that sum he paid away on the 14th of April to Mr. Du Pasquier, the defendant's attorney, 300/. That was the only sum that had been at the dis posal of the defendant, the remaining portion being de voted to repairs, the curate's stipend, and other things. In November, 1844, the balance was 3801. NG, DECEMBER 13, 1845. I~ ~ • WHITEHALL, DEC. 10. The Right Hon.

During: the present week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have been good ; hence the show of samples of that article here was on the increase. As the dealers re frained from purchasing, except on lower terms, the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at almost nominal figures. Very little free Wheat was brought forward, yet the sale was unusually heavy, at barely late rates. Corn, under lock, as a mere drug. The beet parcels of Barley were quite as dear, but other kinds were lower. The show of Malt was moderate, while the call for it was heavy, on somewhat easier terms. Although the supply of Oats was small, that articla sold dowly,and prices were with difficulty supp..rted. Beans, Peas, and Flour excessively dull. English Irish Foreign ARRIVALS. Wheat.

SUGAR.—To-day there was no public sale of any descrip tion of Raw Sugar, and the quantity declared is unimportant, still the market for all home trade descriptions is in a very dull state, and prices are on the decline. Although West India Muscovadoes was offered upon lower terms, still all descriptions were purchased with caution, only 470 hhds and tierces being actually sold, making the total sales for the week only 1,270 hhds and tierces, and the fall in prices for that time is 6d to 2s 6d per cwt. This after noon a parcel of middling bright Grocery Demerara was dis posed of at 47s per cwt. REFINED.—To- day Refined Goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, brown grocery lumps at 63s to 63s 6d, and Standard lumps at 64s to 653 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is neglected, and prices have become nominal. MAURMUS.—None has been offered at public sale, but a parcel will be declared shortly, a cargo of 4,500 bags, &c., of the new crop having arrived. There has been little inclina tion manifested by grocers or refiners to operate privately, and the few parcels disposed of were upon lower terms. The importation in the ensuing year is likely to be even much larger than in the present one and the quality superior. The quantity remaining unsold of the old crop i s 'trifling. EAST INDIA.—The arrivals of Bengal this week having been large, amounting to 13,279 bags, have caused merchants to be desirous to realise, and they submitted to a reduction on previous rates of is for brown, is to Is 6d for white, and 2a to 3s per cwt for yellow Mauritius kind, of which the supply has principally consisted. Notwithstanding the de• cline the trade have been cautious in their proceedings, and the. a has been little business transacted privately. FOREIGN.—There are few purchasers of Brazil, although there are sellers at a further decline in prices of is per cwt. Although yellow liavannah is obtainable upon lower terms, still the business transacted has been trifling by private treaty. White is still neglected. Other kinds have met with little attention. COFFEE.—This afternoon the first parcel of Berbice of the new crop amounting to 86 casks 7 puncheons 12 barrels and 8 bags was submitted to public competition ; the principal part consisted of low middling descriptions, it was in appear ance infbrior to the quality of last year, but it being unclean was not esteemed by the trade, still it was held firmly, and the chief part was taken in above the value. TEA.—Congou is offered upon easier terms, still the trade have purchased with caution. Pouchong has been purchased with caution, and prices are going down. For Souchong the demand has been only for small parcels, for which easier rates are taken. Twankay is heavy of disposal. Holders of Hyson generally are not inclined to further reduce their prices; bnt at present the trade are not much inclined to •parate. Young Hyson has been purchased to a fair extent at former quotations. Com.—The change in the Ministry, and uncertainty as to what may ultimately be done with the corn-laws, have com pletely paralysed the trade in Wheat, and scarcely a trans action having taken place, prices must be considered nomi nally the same as on Monday last. Barley, Beans, and Peas, were little inquired for, and decidedly easier to buy. Oats were 6d to is per quarter lower than in the beginning of the week. In other articles there was nothing doing. SPICES.—To. day Malabar Peppe r me t w i t h li tt l e attent i on. At public sale 2,078 - bags were only in part sold at rather lower rates, good heavy clean but rather stalky went at 3 1 4 d to 3%d, half heavy 34d to 34d, good light 2 3 4 d to 2%d, sea damaged first class 2 hid to 3%d, second 2%4 to 3d, third 2id to 27 8 ' d.

SPIRITS.--The market has been in a dull state far Leeward Island Rum this week : holders have been more inclined to realise, and submitted to the reduced rates of 2s to 2s Id per gallon proof strength. Calcutta has met with little at tention, and prices have fallen to 28 to 2s Oid proof with certificate. In the value of Jamaica little variation has occurred, but exporters and the home trade have purchased with caution. Demerara of strong qua lity is held for the former value, but only small parcels have been disposed of at 3s to 3s 6d, low sorts are dull of sale. and may be purchased on easier terms. The arrivals of Rum are to a small extent only since this day week, whereas the home and export deliveries have been good. The letters come to hand from France state that the quantity of Brandy made would be nearly one-half less than last year ; prises have advanced, and at Cognac they rule as follows for the best brands : 1845, 87f 50c per hectolitre ; 1844, 95 ditto ; 1842, 105 ditto; 1841 115 ditto, and 1840 125 ditto.

Gin at Ps 3d for 17 per cent, 9s 2d for 22 .under proof; and at 12s 9d to 13s Gd per gallon for Malt Spirit, according to quality, and the demand is still active.

Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re gistered Paletot to suit the ever-varied nature of our climate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease. Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is else a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must be ac knowledged as a vast improvement over the old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an uncomfortable sensa tion of tight buttonings, which, from its ♦ery clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the person, as interfering with the proper circulation of the blood. The principal hues are black, blue, brown, and olive ; also the clerical mixture called Oxford, and can be had of the patentees, or only of Vie most respectable clothiers out of London. Every winter paletot is three guineas, and is 'tempted in th* lining with the words, " Registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, 11. J. and D. Niooll, 114,Begent-otreot, London.
