THE QUEEN V. WILEY. _ _ . In this case the defesjdanc Wiley was convicted at the Northumberland Quarter Sessions, for receiving a quan tity of !owls knowing them to be stolen; and it now came before this Court on a point reserved by the jus tices before whom the ease was trie:!. It appeared that two men stole thP fowls, put'them into a sack, and brought theta into the house of ta%ner, for the purpo, e of s« fling them to Wiley. He saw Wiley, the defendant, and after a short coneer,stion the thre9 parties went into a stable, ..ne of the men who stole the fowls carrying the sack on his back, and Wiley bolclirg a light to show him the way. The pack was placed on the floor, the parties stealing ar.uud it as if they we.A.te in the act of bargaining, but no words were heard to pass between them, and while in that position they were discovered and taken into questi..n then arose as to whether there was sufficient proof, on these facts, of Wiley being in possession of the goods, to render him liable to an indictment as a receiver of stolen goods within the irt.auing of the statute. Mr. OTTER was beard at considet able length against the conviction, and contended that the g-,tods had never passed from On possession of the two persons who had stolen them.

The Cologne Gazette of the 24'h says—" We learn from a source worthy of credit that the Duke de Bor deaux has giv,.3n the mot d'ordre t) the Legitirnatist party in France to employ its efforts in favour of those who desire to talc,3 advantage of the present crisis in CNrinany to reconquer the left bank of the Itnine. According to the instructions given by the Prince to the.Legitionatist party, France will now have for mission, with or without ICiapcleteu, to extend her frontiers, and to recover her anciect glory." On Saturday a large crowd assembled in the Tribunal of Correctional Police to hear the complaint of M. Charles Bonaparte (Prince,:de Canino) ex president of the Roman Constituent Assembly, against M. o'Arlic:court, for having libelled him in his pamphlet called i' Italie Rouge. But M. Berryer, counsel ltr the defendant, having written to say that be could not attend on account of indisposition, the case was put off to the 3d December. Tne Gazette de France of Saturday says—" The meeting of the Ru - ] to Eivoli (14:•giimatist) . yester- day pre - sentediminji,e interest; the political - line to be followed by the right was fully dischssed. An orator, whose ill-health has kept him from the Assembly for a year, showed the necessity of abandoning the policy of abitntion and silence, and of taking an initiative in conformity with the general sentiment. M. Berryer replied by an apology or the course hilierto followed, and is said to have added, as we are assured, that the negative policy might at present be replaced by an expectant policy. To this the first speaker is said to have replied that tie difference between the two lines of policy could not be defined, and that he con sidered it necessary to adopted a militant policy. He is also said to have declared himself in favour of the immediate revi'ion of the electoral law of the 31st of May, and was supported in his opinion by several of his colleagues, following the direction of the Ho nourable General de Saint-Priest. All this sitting .:;.used a lively emit - Liu in the .P.rliarnentary Right." We find the foitowing in the Quire, on the subject of the appointment of the Commissary of Police of the Natiooal Assembly:— '° We lately announced that the Minister of the In , terior had demanded to be heard by tne Committee on Pa►liamentary Initiative. relative to the appointment of the Commissary of Police of the Legislative As sembly. The meeting took place on Saturday, and. after some discussion, the Minister is said to have nearly come to an understanding on the following points:-1. The Committee is said to have demanded tnat the func tionary attwthed to the Chamber might be chosen not only from among the commissaries of the city of Paris, but ami ng all the commissaries t f France. 2. That he can only be dismissed with the consent of the buresu of the Ass , inhly. 3. 'rust his salary shall be p?..id by the Assembly. 4. The committee were of opinion that the communications of this agent should, in the first place, be m.de to the Presiient and to the questors, and that they should communicate them to the Illioister of the Interior. We mg add that, in the idea of the com• mittee these different stipulations offer no impediment to the maintenance of M. Yon as Special Commissary ache Legislative Asseinnly. M. Baroche, it is said, requested consult the Council of Ministers on the :acceptance of these different stipuiat ions, and the committee afterwards eujourLed to Monday." (iERMAIY. The latest papers from Berlin are of the morning of the 221, the evening journals of that day not having arrived by the mail. A letter of the 22d states that the speech of Count Schwerin, on being elected Pre sident of the Second Chamber, produced an electrical - effect on the Assembly. He said, " The universal • cry that reaches us from all the provinces of Prussia is —Prussia will submit to no humiliations." The Count then added, " However difficult our task may be, the eagle of Prussia must shoW itself in the light ; the •people, convinced of its rights, is full of anxious expectation. I hope that in this i Chamber we shall attain the most elevated 1 point—that of German patriotism, and prove 1 • that Germany is more attached to Prussia since that power has entered into the family of constitutional Vates." A letter from Vienna ot. the 18th, in the Co • log,ne Gazette, stilt , a that, notwithstanding the COTI. troued preparation for war, the conferences between the French .viinister and Prince Schwartzenberg had led to an exoectation that peace would be maintained. Letters froM FrenktOrt of the 221 state that the Diet had adopted some resolutions which, it was hoped, would lead to the pacific termination of the ditlr ences with Prussia on the subject of Electoral Hesse. A telegrahic dispatch from Berlin, dated in the after noon of the 23d brings the quotations of the Prus sian Funds a half per cent. lower than on the preced ing day. ~t,T - T , A letter from Berlin of the 21st, in the Dibats, .:-114,1t, ;' \ l 4;Rgives the fellowing account of the manner in which '-..!--------. ---F - 77---. 7 . 7 ,, the Ro7eal Speech WW4 received :—" Inc A ssembly at -- • - ~._:- ."\. 4 \- r , t li t. , rie.i it, sii •• - hut :1.1- pa.,ave in which the . z.. .. 7.., - _,_ ; iv . _. , 5 , ,i Hit 5 , i - 7 ,f 1 'T ) ie prquoli a t.) iliVio'Ablv maiataie the cons.ittr ion .. --.1 4 : :.: .--•\e : , ~I F_ :i e.,, interreptr dby the first applause.

He was interrupted by the most enthusiastic applause. Whtn he had finished, there was a triple round cf cheers, followed by a imilar compliment to the Prince of Prussia, which is a sig nificative demonstration when it is considered that the Prince is at the head of the war party." A letter from Berlin of the 22d, in the Inclepen dance of Brussels, says 7" The warlike enthusiasm is still the same ; but the Speech from the Throne, of which the warlike passages produced an electric effect on the representatives, has not satisfied the public out of doors. On a calm reading, this docu ment, not having the support of the accent and action of the august orator, appears lukewarm. The Constitutional Gazette is of that opinion. The lair, in general, appears discontented. As regards the negotiations, notbiog is decided. Prussia demands two things—the presidency by turns, and the delega tion of the executive authority to the two great powers. As fur the latter point, Austria says that she must consult her allies. The alternate presidency is promised. Some persons believed that in conse quence of the Prussian mordlization , Austria, in order not to cede to ineDi..ces, may withdraw the condition , offered. Tni3 is a point of vi , s w w::.ich must rot be lightly treated." A letter from Carlauhe ' 21st, says—" According to accounts from the Grand Duchy of Baden of the 13th, an ordonnance has been published to the effect that the young men belonging to the military class of 1850 are to be incorporated in the army by the 16th of next month." Tne Berlin State Gazette of the 22d has a letter from Vienna of the 19th, stating that it is not true that the Austrian Government bad consented to suspend its war like preparations, and the march of troops, on the demand of Prussia. Prince Schwartzenberg, on the contrary, says the letter, had declared that the Aus trian Government had no right to take such a measure, as the preparations were being made in execution of a federal obligation. A letter from Vienna of the 19th says :—" We learn that upwards of 300,000 men will take the field, and that no diminution of the army of Italy will be made, as the troops taken away will be replaced by others. The other provinces of the empire, especially Hungary, will continue to be strongly occupied." THE SUN., ITALY. The Giornale di Roma, of the 15th, has a leader on the present agitation in England. It tells its readers that the Government has not given ear to the " !talon, tempest" raised by the papers against the Papal brief which restores the Catholic hierarchy la England ; that it has remained calm in the midst of meetings, circu lars, and addresses, and that it will not yield to peti Lions and questions in Parliament. It asserts that the law of the land has been respected, and denies the as sertion of the Bishop of London, that the brief is a negation of the spiritual power of the Queen. " The English Catholic subjects," it adds, " have never ac knowledged that power, and those who daily embrace Catholicism deny it formally. And yet these sub jects, who are now depicted as rebels, are, on the con- trary, excellent citizens in the eyes of the Govern ment itself. If it be so, and if the English Catholics are to enjoy the same rights as their countrymen, it i: , clear that the b:ief has not attacked the spiritual authority of the chief of the state, since the Catholics do not acknowledge it." It further contends that the new territorial division, established by the brief, is not contrary to the Emancipation Act, and that the Catholics are protected by that Act, while Metho dists and other Dissenters are merely tolerated. 1: concludes with a hope that Parliament will take ac serious notke of the matter, and look upon it as at , affair of et;quet.e. The Risorgimento of Turin of the 20th, the chief Ministerial organ, contains the following paragraph : " For some time past the Turin jowl - 141s have beet talking of a Ministerial crisis, or at least of mime ,- hanges in the Cabinet. We recommend our contern poraries to be rather more cautious in crediting and .presdiog rumours of this kind. As far as we are informed, we can declare that there never was, nor i, now, the least foundation for their suppositions, am that there is not the slightest danger nor probability of a Ministerial modification." The Royal decree for the prorogation of the Piedmontese Chamber was resd in the Cham ber of Deputies on the 19th by Signor Galvagno, the Minister of the Interior. The decree fixes the opening of the new session for the 23d instant The Piedmontese Gazette contains a paragraph in its non-official part, stating that the persons entrustee. by the Minister with the care of publishing the de cree immediately after the reading of it in the tw‘ Chambers had published it be fore the reading, in con sequence of which they had been severely repri manded. _ _ The Ferrara Gazette states that, a few incendiary placards having been posted up at Voghers and Cop paro, in the province of Ferrara, denouncing the nes• law establishing a tax on trades and professions, th. police has discovered the culprit, who is a mere child that had been induced to commit the act by som enemies of order, to whom a revere bastinado has beet administered by order of the authorities.

A singular rise which has been going on for some time in the price of silver has created much inquiry Tne idea that it may be owing to the influx of Cult fornian gold naturally occurs to every one, and give: the subject its chief interest. In ordinary times tin question might be easily settled, but, from the peculiar state of the continent, together with the change re cently made in the Dutch currency, a definite con clusion at present is rendered impossible. The three causes now in operation, namely, the Californian influx, the requirements for the pay am: maintenance of the German armies, and the subsitutior. or silver for gold in Holland, have come into activ. operation almost simultaneously. They all have tht same tendency, and the task therefore simply is to discover the proportionate influence of each. Fo, this, however, the materials are wanting. We do not know with certainty the total increase which ha. taken place in the supply of gold, or, as regard:: silver, the quantity absorbed in Germany, or on the continent generally, either by the armies or fron hoarding, or other causes. and, even if this informatior were before us, we should Mill be ignorant of tE. total stock of bullion in the world, upon the amount of which alone could any accurate calculations be founded. Although, however, we must thus wait until somt of the perplexing elements of the question shall hay been removed—for if the war mania were to termi nate, and the effect of the Dutch legislation hat. passed away, we should then have no difficulty v looking to California for its solution—there are man:, considerations that may, even now, throw some ligh upon the matter, and which may be usefully borne it mind in watching the future. We have remarked that all the influences now existing operate in one way. The only direct mode it which any effect from the Californian gold could first he observed would be by looking at the relative price of silver. We must measure the state of the market for gold by the purchasing power of that metal, and silver is the best commodity where with to test this purchasing power, as it is less liable to fluctuation than any other. In proportion therefore, as the supply of gold increases, silver wil steadily become dearer—that is to say, a 51. note re presenting a certain weight of gold will buy less silver than previously. At the same time the pur chases of silver by Germany and Holland must of course have a similar effect. They are made b 3 means either of gold coin transmitted to us direct, or of gold due from us for credits allowed or shipments received, our merchants, in the letter case, being in structed, instead of sending the gold that is owing, to send as much silver as it will procure. In the combined action thus going forward enough is consequently presented to remove all surprise that remarkable results should already have been observed. There are, however, some minor circumstances to be noticed which modify these general operations, al though, as it is impossible to estimate their aggregate bearing, it cannot be ascertained whether on the whole they have tended to mitigate or to increase the change that has been in progress. Among these, on the one hand, is the demand for silver in California, and on the other, the alleged increase of production in the silver mines of South America, the extensive issue of small paper currency, by which silver has been dis. placed in Austria, and finally, a gradual displacement of silver by gold, which is observable in the United States. Supposing it to be a question, whether the effect of the demand for silver in Germany has not been coun teracted to a very great extent by the issue of Aus trian paper, and also if the supplies of silver required at San Francisco have not been met by the more abundant yield of the e.outh American mines, we should then be driven to attribute the late rise in this country mainly to the Dutch operations or to Cell i tonna, or to both. The step adopted by Holland, of calling in h er 5 an d 10 guilder p i eces, too k p l ace on t bh h yo e wi 2 te 2 vh d ea of June, n been otm a o b r o e u t t b four a b o m u i t l s i o o n o s ,o s o t 7 1 1 . i ng i s b . and the amount of gold disengaged have been repla ce d b y s il ver, the remainder beleiAienvsgeydreetto: presented by notes, which will continue in circula tion until the requisite amount of silver can be ob tained. Whether this or th e poss ibl e f eet t h at (beinc- near l y double t h e total (,d ;statue! yield of all th e S outh Amer i can e1,.0t,i0n0,000/. of gold ia o th i ues in 1840) has been suddeitly added to th e s t oc k of bullion ttbuiiii:xnetT The world, which som e h ave con j ectured d 330,600,000/, in all, atd of which gold constitutes by far the smallest propoition, may have had the greatest force, is a point which must be left for speculation. But, whatever view may be adopted by each indi ihival as to the ildluence which has bean predomi ;:ant ail v.re(!ucing the eftfCt that has (.ccurred, there •:Lri be no qu,stien the: that effect been of u most uccided and important character. At this period last year the price uf silver v.-1:s 4s. 11,d. per ounc, and it is now 57i. 113., the rise being within a fraction of 3 per cent.; a difference whicn (apart from other considerations) is considerable, as affecting the seig norege on our own silver coinage. This coinage based on the forming of 66 shillings out of every pound weight of standard silver, leaving a gross profit to the Government, when silver was at its usual price of 4s. Iqd. per ounce, of nearly 11 per and which profit is now reduced to about 74 per cent. In France the premium on gold nas fallen wi hin th , •! same period from 13i per mills to 3,1 per mile; so teat it is now re- :luced to only about 4 per cent. Should any . further important decline take place, the silver coins of that country will then gradually be dis placed by gold; for they will intrinsically be worth more than their nominal value. Again, in the United States the same eiT,ct is observable. List year the coinage was at par. It is now quoted 21 premium. This will cause silver to bo ,aported, cod its place to he supplied by an increased coinage of gold &liars, half-eeg;es, and eagles. At the same time it is to be ramarked, that in pro ?urtion as silver thus comes to be displaced by gold in countries where it has hitherto been in extensive cir ,lilation. its further relative rise will be checked, be cause its uses, and the consequent demand fur it, will be diminished. A decrease in the intrinsic value of -ach metal may then be looked for, although not in -qual proportions; and the only way in which it will be possible that this till can be traced thereafter will be by ascertaining from time to time the general ex changeable relation between them and other cornmo aities, so as to compare the purchasing power of both with what it was at former periods. RADICAL ktEFoItIVI IN THE LAW. LIGHT FROM THE WEST. (From the Weekly News.) While we have beep grumbling at law abuses, and nibbling here and there at some of their more pro minent evils, our relatives over the water have gone quietly and manfully to work, and out of the old chaos of English common law and equity, they have created for themselves a rational, simple, intelligible, ind uniform judicial system, by means of which any inan, who has a claim against another, may obtain -uhstantial justice, quickly, cheaply, and securely. This sounds like Utopia, but it may be found at New York. The citizans of that state used to have their law courts, with ail their paraphernalia of diver sity of actions, intricacy of special pleading, demurrer, error, &c., &c., just like our own. They had inhe— rited these things while English subjects, and they aad long retained them. So, too, they had their Courts of Chancery, like the English, totally distinct from the common law tribunals, with their tedious and costly procedures and unsatisfactory mode of taking estimony on depositions composed in private a nd nut from the lips of witnesses and in public. In New ' York, as in England, the people groaned under the .:ostliness, the tardiness, and the uncertainty of the law. But the New Yorkers went to Nork more boldly and more wisely than we .10. They did not wait for the lawyers to reform he law—for the spiders to clear away the webs : —they met in convention as their Constitution au horittei them to meet, and they ordered that their '3W should be thoroughly reformed ; that their Courts of Chancery should he ; aed thA simple uniform mode for obtaining redress for civil wrongs should be provided, throughout which sub tantial justice should be the paramount objact, and hat all forms and technicalities which could stand in ' ea way should he exterminated. Three commia ioners were appointed to draw up a code in that pirit ; and a code so pepared was ratified by the rfouses of Legislature, and became the law of that -rate early in 1848. We consider this subject so important, and we fled in that code so admirable a model tor our own guid ance, that we intend to lay the principal portions af before our readers; we mean those portions by. 4hich the distinction between law and equity is ,bolished, which give a single form of action, which abolish special pleading, and which provide fur the trials of issues in fact and of issues of law. There ere also very valuable provisions respecting costs, and the right of examining the hostile parties in the case, hich we shall else) extract in extenso. We earnestly beg the attention of our readers to ~his code, because. it shows us exactly what we want. There we have it, not in vague suggestions or crude fancies, but in definite black and white, and in full and careful detail. It comes also to us recommended by the test of actual experience. It has now worked for nearly two years in New York, and has worked :o the thorough satisfaction of all parties there, ex• wept some of the bench and bar, who there, as every• where else, dislike all change, are incapable of all ehilosophical comprehension, and cling like rust to he old-fashioned institutions in which they were born and bred. We are convinced that nothing has occurred :Or a very long time so sure to give an impetus to the aiuse of law reform in this country, as the meeting if the Law Amendment Society in Regent-street, on tfonday last, at which Mr. Field, one of the com• :iiissioners who prepared the New York Code, was present, and answered the numerous inquiries respec leg its nature and its operation, which were put to aid) by the numerous English lawyers who assembled a, receive him. A report of it appears in another dart of our columns. It was note little amusing to -fitness the sparring between cur equity and our eicamon law men, each claps being keenly appreciative f the absurdities of the other's sy stein, and as com ,lacently blind to those of its own. Thus, Mr. Bethell wound up a long eulogy on equity, and a long invective against common law, by saying that be true merit of the New York Code was that, la\ "law was swallowed up in equity." To which Nlr. Creasy retorted that it would work the still ;renter miracle of " transforming equity into justice." , THE INCOME TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased with much caution for home trade purposes, merchants refused to sell upon lower terms; a public sale of 160 hds Barbadoes went off quietly at tie previous currency, tine and superior yellow at 43s to 455, mid to good 41s to 42s ficl. The total purchases to-day were only 327 hds, &c., and the market closes with a quiet aspect fur both Col , .nial and Foreign Sugar. REFINED. —To-day lower prices being taken for Re fined sugar induced home dealers to operate with more freedom, and 48s 6d to 49s is the value of brown Lumps. In the market for Crushed there is much dulness, with ellers rather under previous rates. Msigarrius.—This rlternocn there was no public sale of Mauritius Sugar, and the private operations were of a trifling nature; former rates were supported. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the small public sales of 838 bags Bengal Sugar went at steady rates, good mid grainy yellow at 44s to 44s 6d, mid 41s 6d to 435 6d, mid to fine like Mauritius went at 39s to 433, ano white 43s to 445. Of Madras 4 297 bags were disposed of at the full value, low and mid soft yellow 31s to 335, ,:nd good brown 30s 6d to 31s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To - day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and privately there was little passing for any purpose, whilst in some cases rather lower rates were acceded to. MOLASSES —There is still a quiet market, but price .ire supported in mist quence of tie limited amount, on ,Jrer, still the stick yet exceeds that of last year. Prices. fer tow to fine W , est India rule at from 15s to 17s, Porto Rico and Cuba 15s to 16s 6d, Bengal and Mauritius 23 to 13s per cwt. There are, however, several buyers rather under these rates.

TITLE of the NEW VICE-CHANCELLOR. • he qin-s;i011 as to the title 01 the new Vie-Chan cellor, which has ;ateiy ibrined the sot ject of so much clocussden in the equity etairta since the commence incnr of term, hes at Length been sati,factorily settled by some oto , ervations made by Sir PL bert Rolfe him eT in court during the week. The difficulty was This, that the statute 53 Geo. 111., under which Sir Lancelot Shadi.vell AVM appointed Vice-Chancellor, expressly provides that the Vice-Chancellor appointed under that. Act shall be called Vice-Chancellor " of Eng:And ;" but the statute 5 Vic., cap. 5, under which Sir J. Knight Bruce and Sir J. Wigram were appointed Vice Chancellors, provides that after the deeth of Sir Lancelot Shadwell, the future Vice- Chancellor to be appointed under the 53d of George 111., and the Vice-Cbancellors appointed under the later Act shall rank according to priority of appoint ment. It was then supposed that any Vice-Chan cellor appointed under the 53d of George 111. must necessarily be styled Vice-Chancellor of England. The resignation of Vice Chancellor Wigram did not of course affect the question, as there was an ex press clause in the Act of 5 Victoria, cap. 5, pro- . . hibitirg a re-appointment to his office upon his than or resignation. On Thursday last a petition was presented to Vice-Chancellor Rolfe, headed " Vice-Chancellor of England," and Mr. Stuart, who appeared in support of the petition, submitted that the beading was perfectly correct; since any Vice- Chancellor appointed under the 53r1 of Geo. 111. , ought to be styled Vice-Chancellor of England. His Honour said, that although he was appointed in the room of Sir .Lancelot Shadwell, he did not consi der himself authorised to take the title of Vice- Chancellor of England. The title was originally introduced by the desire of Lord Chancellor Et don, for the purpose of lessening the dignity of the office, his own title being Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, aid when the two Vice-Chancellors were subsequently appointed, the title "of England" was adopted by way of distinguishing Sir Lancelot Shadwell, whose office was of a higher rank. There were now two reasons why he (Sir Robert Rolfe) con sidered himself not authorised to assume the title of Vice-Chancellor of England. One was, that by the Act of 5 Vic., cap. 5, the existing Vice-Chancellors were to rank according to priority of appointment, and cons, quently Sir J. Knight Bruce was the senior Vice, Chancellor; the other was, that he was not styled Vice-Chancellor of England in the patent under which he held his appointment. LA W INTELLIGEN CE. COUNT OF Ci? BEACH, Nov. 25, THE QUEER V. EATIMER. Mr. CROWDER shewed cause ag,inst a rule for al lo ing the defendant costs under the following cir cum,tances. In this case a criminal information had been filed against the defendant for the publication of an alleged libel. The case was tried at Exeter, and a verdict given for the defendant. The present rule was then obtained, requiring the Master to tax the costs due to the defendant in consequence of the ver dict in his favour. He (Mr. CroWder) submitted that the defendant was not entitled to costs. The question depended on the construction of the- 6th and 7tn Vict., c. 96, so tar as that statute could be applicable to this case when taken in reference to the 4th and sth William a, d Marv, c. 18. The earlier of these sta tutes had provided' the manner in which proceedings in a criminal information should he conducted, and it obliged the party who obtained a criminal informa tion to enter into recogn zances conditioned for the due prosecution of the iuformatioo, and with that was the condition that if on such trial the verdict should be for the delend,nt, then and in such case the Court of Queen's Bench might award to the de fendant his costs, unless the judge before whom such information was tried should, on the trial of such information, in open court certify that there was reasonable ground for exhibiting such information. On that statute it was clear, that if the judge granted a certificate, then, although the defendant might have succeeded at the trial, he would not have the costs. But if he was not entirely deprived of his right to costs, it was clear that he would be entitled to no more than 201., that being the amount of the recog- nizance. Atter this statute came the Act of Victoria, which enacted, that in case of the indictment or in formation being prosecuted by a private person, if the judgment of the Court should be for the defendant, he should be entitled to recover costs, and if the issue was on a special plea and was found for the prosecu tor, he should be entitled to costs occasioned by such plea, such costs so to be recovered by the defendant, or the prosecutor to be taxed by the proper officer of the court. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Is there any provision in the ,tatutP of Victoria for a certificate? Mr. CROWDER answered that there was no such provision ; but he contended that the two statutes, as they related to the same matter, should be construed together. lord CAMPBELL—We are now called on to put a construction on the Bth section of the statute of Vic toria. There are two branches of that section. On the second of these branches we are not called on to give any opinion, for the prosecutor has not suc ceeded in obtaining a vet diet ; but on the first of them the question we s now raised. Here was the case of a criminal iriforrnation with a plea of not guilty, and this plea is followed by a verdict fur the defendant. The question under these circumstances is whether the defendant is to have his costs. As it seems to me, it was the intention of the Legislature to give the defendant his costs; and I do not think it could have expressed that intention more clearly or in a more explicit manner. The words of the section are these, " _Chat in case of any indictment or infor mation by a private prosecutor, if judgment shall be given fin- the defendant, he shall be entitled to re cover from the prosecutor the costs sustained by reason of such indictment or information. Prima facie that provision expressly applies to this case. But then Mr. Crowder says that he is entitled to take advantage of the statute of William and Mary, in which there is this exceptive proviso —"unless tha judge shall certify." But in the recent Act there is no such condition, but the di rection for payment is absolute. The Legislature might not unreasonably consider that the law should be changed i❑ this respect, and that if an indictment or information should be preferred, and the person who was made the defendant should be found not guilty, that he should be re-imbursed the money which that indictment or an information might have occasioned him to expend. The prosecutor may not be blameable for having instituted the indictment or information, for he may have had reasonable cause to do so, but if it turns out that he was in error, then the question is on whom the loss should fall, and there is no reason why the loss should fall on the defendant, for, though the prosecutor has not been blameable, the defendant is expressly found by a jury of his country to be not guilty. The statute seems to me to be right in point of justice. But we have nothing to do with arguing about the justice or the policy of a statute, but to see what the Legislature has declared, and to carry its declared intentions into effect. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—There is great reasoa to believe that the construction now nought to be put upon the Act in question was not in the minds of those who passed the Act. The Act does work a great change in the law ; and as to this particular matter, there is no direct expression of such an intention. It a narrower construction was put on it, the law would he more completely consistent, and the legislation of William and Mary would not be touched. But re membering that a great change in the law was in tended to be made at that time, it might have been part of the intention of the Legislature that this change should take place; and certainly the words here were very clear. So the Court must adopt this new rule as to costs, and must give to plain words their lull and natural meaning. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—I think that this rule must be absolute. Tne words of the statute are too plain to be doubted, or to admit of the construction put on them by Mr. Crowder. If the Legislature did intend that a certificate should be understood to be necessary, it is to be regretted that that intention was not expressed. Mr. Justice ERLE—The Act is perfectly general with respect to indictments in cases of libel, so that no doubt can be entertained on the subject. Then, can it be said that there is any difference information on to the rule with respect to on libel ? The language is in all cases of "indictments or informations," but it is said that though that language is absolute as to indictments, it is only qualified as to informations, because of the provisions of the former statute , which statute has not been expressly repealed. it seems to me that there is no ground for that argument, but that the words of the more recent Act must hav e th e i r f u ll effcct, and that we cannot import into the new statute words which would qualify the plain intention of the Legislature.—Rule absolute for the defendant to have costs.

A. yoneg twn named Johii Fitch, described as a teacher of music and &a wing, in Je2e.us-lane, Cam bridge, etas placed at the bar before Mr. Hail, charged wieh ehtaining motley under Llse pretences. Mr. Bourne, cashier, in the service of Mr. Parker, bookseller and publisher, 445, West Strand, stated that on Saturday evening, November 2, the prisoner came to the shop, and after representing that he was the nephew of Professor Scholefield, of Cambridge, said that be had just arrived in England, after a lung voyage, and mentioning the names of several highly respectable persons as his friends, none of whom were in town, he was at a loss for so much cash as would defray his travelling expenses down to Cambridge. He also represented that he should not be out of money but he was unable to get a bill of exchange cashed to answer his temporary distress, and showed some letters, apparently written by a person named Scholefield, whom he pretended was his father. Wit ness knowing that his employ er was acquainted with the Professor, aeked if a sovereign would be sufficient for his ! present wants, and the prisoner replied that it would, and that he would repay it on the Monday following, on his return to town for the purpose of ✓ getting his luggage from the vessel. The prisoner not returning according to promise, inquiries were made, and then it was discovered that, the name of the pruieFetor hav ing been so repeatedly used of late for such purposes, he had been compelled to insert an advertisement in the local newspapers cautioning the public against a person using his name. Constable Tapley, E, proved that he apprehended the prisoner on suspicion of felony, but being dis • charged, he informed him that he would be detained on the present charge. Pri,oner said he knew no thing about it, but before and after he was identified, he inquired if any other persons were preferring charges against him, since which time he discovered that he had defrauded several others, by the same means. Mary Johnson, daughter of the landlord of the Crown, public-house, in Essex street, Strand, said the prisoner came to lodge there about a month back, and occasion ally afterwards. He said he had been to America, and was once joined by a boy and a girl he called his sister. He next came about a fortnight back, and went away without paying the amount of his bill, previous to which he desired that it' any letters came directed to Mr. Scholefield, or Fitch, they should be taken in. The prisoner declined putting any questions to the witnesses, and he was ordered to be remanded for a week. N OVEIVIBER 26, 1850. WORSHIP-STREET. Alice Baker, a showily-dressed married woman, was charged with the following dexterious robbery upon Mr. James Bowles, an account-book maker in Nottingham-street, Bethnal green : The prosecutor stated that while on his way home through Finsbury-square, at nine o'clock in the even ing, he was accosted by the prisoner, who asked him to take a walk with her. He refused to do so, and quickened his pace to get rid of her, but she still forced her company upon him, and walked as fast as he did till they reached the corner of Wilson-street, when a man came up, and having jostled against him with such force as to swing him round, abused him fair running against him. On recovering from the collision he 'suddenly missed his female persecutor, who was hurrying away as fast as she could, and this exciting his suspicions, he thrust his fingers into his wai•tcoaf pocket and missed his watch, but the robbery had been so cleverly eff,cted that he did not feel it taken, and the guard, though cut through and drawn out of the ring, was still hanging round his neck. He instantly started after the woman, shouting " Stop thief," and the man who had pre viously jostled him, and who, it was now plain, was a confederate, as instantly turned back, got before him, and did all he could to prevent his pursuing her, but bis cries attracted the notice of Sayers, a con stable, and a plumber named Leversage, who stood across the pavement to stop her, and the confederate, on seeing this immediately turned and made off, while the prisoner, who was exhausted, ran into their arms. Sayers, the constable, stated, that as soon as he had secured the prisoner in the manner described, she protested that she had committed no offence to justify her detention; but hearing somethimg fall smash from her dress upon the pavement, followed by a jingle, he looked down to see what they were caused by, and found the prosecutor's watch upon the stones with a pair of scissors beside it, on which the prisoner prayed very hard for forgiveness, and entreated the prosecutor to let her go, in consideration for her baby, which was ill at home, but he persisted in the charge, and she was transferred to the station. The prisoner merely replied in answer to the charge, that it was not she who had stolen the watch, and that she merely ran away because the prosecutor declared he had been robbed ; but _ _ Mr. HAMMILL directed tia; depositions to be taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William St. Clair wns charged with having sent a threatening letter to Mr. Fox, of the firm f Fox and Henderson, contractor: for the Exhibition Building in Hide-park. Mr Fox said he received a letter by post that morning, which had been sent to Mr. Humphreys, his solicitor. While walking in the building about two o'clock that day, the prisoner came up to him and said, " Will you grant me an audience ? ' asked his name, and he replied, " William St. Clair." Com plainat,t said, " Certainly nor," upon which he said he would make him repent it. He then called a constable, and gave trim into custody ; and in his possession was a copy, or the substance, of the letter which com plainant had received in the morning. He ascertained that the prisoner had worked at the Exhibition as a glazier, and had been p,id his wages last Saturday night. He did not know him, there being between 1,000 and 2,000 workmen employed. Cockran, the foreman, said the prisoner was one of the operative glaziers employed at the works. A protest, signed by about fifty of the glaziers, amongst whom was the prisoner, was sent in to him last week. The protest had reference to the scale of payment, which was considered to be insufficient. Mr. Fox said the letter would be found to contain a threat of putting an advertisement, relative to Messrs. Fox and Co., into a morning paper, and of writing to the editor on the subject. Mr. Fox was proceeding to state that he had only one object in hav• ing given him into custody, and that was to prevent a repetition of such threats, when Mr. BINGHAM said it was not necessary for Mr. Fox to refer to his object in coining forward, for he was quite prepared to deal with the case before him upon the evidence—that case being an attempt to procure a higher scale of wages by means of certain threats. The prisoner, in defence, said the copy of the letter found on him contained the substance of that sent to Mr. Fox. With respect to the threat that he would make Mr. Fox repent having refused to give him an audience, he had been misunderstood ; the words he used were, that Mr. Fox might repent this refusal. Mr. BINGHAM considered the case was one of a very serious complexion, and be must therefore re mand him for further inquiry. The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail, which was granted on his supplying good sureties. SHIP NE WS.
