THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1851. TERI ARGYLE ROOMS.—JACOBS v. BIGNELL AND OTHE. Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Heatly, and Mr. B a rstow ap. peared for the plaintiff; and the;Attorny -General, Mr. Lush, and Mr. Parry conducted the edefence. Mr. CHAMBERS, in stating the case te the jury, said, this action, which was one of considerable public in terest and importance, was brought to recover five penalties of 1001. each from the defendants, Bignell, Laurent, Bryer, and others, for keeping a house or room for public music and dancing, without being duly licensed under the statute. The statute in question was an old Act of Parliament passed in the 25th year of the reign of George the Third, in consequence of the evils which arose from unlicensed places of entertainment of this description. Without due regulations, and unless subject to some kind of restriction, they held out the greatest temptations to those who frequented thew, and persons became so captivated with the pleasures and amusements which they offered as to be induced to supply the means of indulging in them by adopting dishonest or irregular practices. The Act provided that the proprietor or pro prietors of rooms, saloons, or gardens, which were kept open for public entertainment without a licence, should forfeit to every person who should sue for the same the sum of 10U/. for each day it wee so kept open, and be otherwise punishable as the law directed in the cases of disorderly souses. The place now under consideration was well known as the Argyle Rooms, in Windmill street, Haymarket. Some might be old enough to recol lect that at one time there existed in Regent-street rooms for dancing, called th e A rg yl e Rooms ; they were burnt down several years ago, and recently, or within the last two or three years, a splendid saloon was erected in Wi n d m il l-street for music and danc i ng . In 1849, the persons who then appeared to be the managers s or proprietor s were the present d e f en d an ts.

The defendant Bryer, it appeared, applied at the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions ire 1849 for a licence, but it was refused by the magistrates, uuteithstanding the rooms were opened at chit time for dancing. Charles Emile Laurent, wins was once a celebrated cornepean player, took the management of the band, and Ensile Laurent, his father, had the general superintendence of the affairs in the interior. There was a regular muney taking place, but persose were stationed at the dour to prevent informers entering. In the following year, 1850, Charles Emile Laurent renewed his applies Lion to the magistrates, and on stating that he had hired the rooms for three years from Mr. Bignell, a licence was granted to him, and the r. oms were now carried on in toe reguar way under that license. He might men tion that Bignell was a well-known sporting gentleman, and the owner of a cigar-shop and saloon adjoining the Argyle Rooms. As soon as the dancing ceased, and the lamps were extinguished, this saloon of his came into requisition, and was kept open until a very late hour in the morning; such ladies and gentlemen who wished to prolong their amusements generally adjourning there after the Argyle Rooms were closed. The penalties now sought to be recovered were for keeping the rooms open unlicensed on the 4th, sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth of June, 1849, and it would be for the jury to say whether the plaintiff, under the circumstances which would be adduced in evidence, was entitled to one or all of those penalties. Mr. George Buggard, so li c i tor and vestry-clerk of St. James's, Westminster, examined by Mr. HEATLY, said he was instructed by the governors and overseers of the parish to oppose the application tor a licence for the Ar gyle Rooms at the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions in Sep tember, 1849. He attended accordingly on that occa sion, but the counsel who appeared for the proprietors of the rooms withdrew his application. At the next ses sions, in 1850, he again attended to oppose a similar ap plication, but the magistrates granted a license. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—His opposition in 1850 was unsuccessful. The magistrates were almost unanimous in granting the license; only two or three opposed it out of twenty-two magistrates. James Gregg, beadle at the sessions, gave similar testimony. Mr. John Willis, formerly a police-constable, was called and examined by Mr. Cueereees.—l was employed by Mr. Brycr on the 19. h October, 1849, to attend the Argyle Rooms to keep out disorderly persons, prostitutes, and pickpockets, which he did up to last year. At the time I was employed Mr. Bryer told me that he made the engagement on behalf of Mr. Chris topher Brown, whom ho represented to be the proprietor of the rooms. I often saw Messrs. Bryer, Laurent, and Bignell in the rooms, but only tho former took any part in the active management of the rooms. The rooms were always conducted with strict order, and care was taken to observe propriety and decorum in those who attended. rooms were open from eight o'clock till hulfepast eleven o'clock every night. I recollect a grand bail raking place on Tuesday, the 4th of June, 1849, liessre. Pr}er and Bignell were there that night, but I &el not hear them giv, any direction. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEV•GENEnAL—I know Mr. Christopher Brown. He wits the lessee, but I can't say whether be had tie management of the rooms. I have seem him there, taking pert in the management. Mr. Bryer acted as director of the proceedings, and I believe he executed the decorations. On the night of the grand ball the rooms were re-decorated by air. Bryer. l'er. Laurent, jun., was the leader of the band. Everything was conducted in the rooms with peract propriety and decency. Richard Francie—l know the Argyll Rooms in Great Windmilatereet. I am a printer, and I printed the posting-bills for those rooms. I rrcellect the 4th of June, 1849. I pruned bills kr the day, but Idu not know whether 'bey , were posted. I have got a bill for the ball, which I printed by direcfiou of Mr. Bryer, but I saw neither Mr. Bignell nor Mr. Laurent about it. The treasurer of the rooms, Mr. Bryer, usually paid me. I also printed a general bill for the rooms by di rection of Mr. Bryer. I printed for the rooms between October, 1849, and August, 1830. Cross-examined by ibe ATTORNEY -GENERAL—I was employed on behalf of Me. Christopher Brown, and I debited him with the cost of the bills in my books. Charles Nightingale—l was manager and conductor of the Flora-gardens in the summer of 1850, and dur ing that year Mr. Bryer brought some bills to Mr. Jacobs, who distributed'them about the gardens. Mr. Justice WICHTMAN—Who is Jacobs? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--The virtuous plaintiff, my Lord. Mr. CHAMBERS—No. He does not come forward for virtue. The A TTORNEY-GENERAL—Of course not. He comes forward for gain.--(A. laugh.)

Some time ago Mr. Bryer ap?lied to the magistrates for a licence, and it was unfortunetely refused. Mr. Christo pher Brown then determined to risk the g of the rooms without a licence, and there gentlemen he engaged as his menagere, and it was preposterou s to any that they were the persons keeping the eeteblishment. So admirably, however, were the rooms conducted be. fore the licence was obtained, that the parish authori ties of St. James's, who repudiated all .s)napathy with the action, voluntarily withdrew all opposition to this popular plaee of amusement, and the Middlesex magistrates almost unanimouly, for there was only one:dissentient, agreed to grant a license to the present proprietors. No injury, therefore, had accrued to the plaintiff from the existence of these rooms prior 36 the sloe e, and as the plaintiff had instituted these for the sake of vindicating the majesty THE KAFIR WAR. We have received Cape papers to the 7th of April, hree days later than the last advicos. Things remained much in the same state on the frontier, as will be seen by the following extract (From the the Graham's Town Journal .E.7tra, April 1.) " Advices were received yesterday from King Wil liam's Town to last Saturday. Since the Governor's return from Fort Hare strong patrols ,have been sent out in various directions, for the purpose of harassing the enemy and crippling his resources as id means of pro tracting hostilities. This is the Kafir harvest time, and if allowed to store his supplies the wa r may be conti nued to an indefinite period. " During the past week, a patrol of 61)0 men proceeded on the 26th up the Buffalo, and another on the following day towards Perie, in which direction :it was understood there were many huts and gardens. Subsequently ano ther patrol, under MajorWilmot, R.A., has been detailed towards Seyolo'e country, for the purpose of opening up Line Drift, the ford of the Keiskamina, on the direct road to this place. The latter has proved himself to be an energetic and able officer. He earned distinction in New Zealand, and he has shown here the value of the experience gained by him in that colony. " In our Saturday's issue it was stated that 600 Hot tentots had been armed and permitted to accompany General Somerset to patrol the Kat Fiver, where the Kafirs were said to be in force, hay ing attacked the loyal Hottentots at Eland's Post, and butchered four of item. One or two errors were made in this state ment which we take this early opporttraity of correcting. The number of Hottentots who were permitted to ac company General Somerset was 100, and not 600, as above stated. The tact of the enemy baying roasted one of these poor creatures is confirmed, and shows what tide people may hereafter expect, should they place themselv,s at the mercy of their Kafir allies. " The Hottentots abuut King Willi lEl'B Town say that Sanditla has a large caw') in toe Atnat.ohs, and lives in a house built in the same manner as that of an English person. NEWSPAPER DUTIES. Mr. lIAYTER presented a petition from Wells, pray ing for the repeal of all duties on newspapers. REGIUM DONUM. _ _ Mr. KERSHAW presented petitions from London and Westminster against the Regium Donum. ST. ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISSION BILL. The House then went into committee on this Bill, Mr. Bernal in the chair. On the consideration of Clause 13, Mr. STUART objected to the Committee proceeding any further with this Bill, because he thought they were proceeding on a precedent which did not at all apply to the present proceedings. The Sudbury election was evi dently the precedent on which the Hon. Gentleman who had introduced the Bill was proceeding, bat in that case the House had proceeded with the Bill after a full and fair inquiry had taken place, with evidence from both sides, and after a distinct recommendation from the Committee, but in the present instance the only reason for bringing in the Bill was that a full inquiry had not and could not be held, and after a report from the Committee; which he would say was the most extraordinary he had ever read, from any Com mittee and from any tribunal whatever. First of all, they reported that Mr. Bell was duly elected, next that they had no materials brought before them properly to try the case, and last of all they went on to say that it was evident that gross bribery and corruption had pre vailed at the last election, then after making their de cision going on to assign two separate reasons why they should have come to a completely different re sult. It the precedent of the Great Yarmouth case, in which the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dorset shire had taken the initiative, had been followed, there would have been a question of some sort or other, when in fact, there was none whatever now. The case of Horsham, too, war much more in point, although in that caw Parliament retused to grant a commission. tie thought the chairman of the Committee which had made such an absurd report was asking them to commit a flagrant injustice, and he fur one, would be no part) to it; be should theretore move that the Chairman do now leave the chair. Mr. AGLIONBY protested against the course whieb the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had taken, and he hoped the Committee would not entertain it. Mr. ELLICE considered that the report of the Committee was perfectly consistent with the evidence adduced before them. They declared the sitting Mem ber elected, because there was no direct proof of his being guilty of bribery either by himself or agents; but the Committee entertained no doubt that corruption and bribery did extensively exist at the last election. They recommended the ap pointment of a Commission, for they wore of opinion it was the only means of ascertaining the truth with regard to the extent to which bribery was carried on, and would likewise save much of the public time. A Commission was by far the most expedient mode of in quiry, if the Hausa thought any inquiry was necessary. Mr. STUART said he was in favour of the fullest inquiry into the prayer of the petition against Mr. Bell, but he objected to the dangerous principle involved in the present Bill, and would divide the House upon it, unless the Honourable Member agreed to the amend ments proposed by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Bankes). Mr. BANKES thought the House ought to consider before they proceeded further whether the other House would sanction any such measure for the appointment of a Commission on,no better grounds than those alleged in the very unsatisfactory report of the Committee. He had framed his amendments as nearly as possible in con formity:with Lord J. Russell's Act, the sth and 6th Vie , c. 102, and he believed th e y wou ld l ea d more effectuall y to the accomplishment of the object they all desired. A greater insult had never bees offered before to the House than by the absconding witnesses, whose evidence was required before the Committee. Some of them were just across the water, via., at Boulogne, while the others had gone a little further on their travels, and were now at Paris. He believed they were complaining of the want of remit tances, and the absence of remittances appeared to be the only hope of their return. As this subject involved the dignity and character of the House, he hoped the Hon. Member would accede to the amendments he pro posed. After a few words from Mr. E. Malan and Mr, STUART, - "Letters from Fort Haro have come i❑ to-day up to Sunday last, at which date Major-General Somerset was out on piArcl, as above stated, in the Kat River. From the accounts received, it appears thst on the evening of Thursday the picquws were flied on by the enemy, who appeared to be in some force. The Fingues and Hottentots immediately went to the supp o rt of the sentries, and from the blood spoor seen the next morning, it is inferred that several of the enemy must have been either killed or wounded. On teaching Eland's Post ell was found quiet, it being sup posed that the reb,l Hottentots had moved into the Amatola. Several • clumps' of Kafirs were seen, but none of them were brought to action. The General was continuing his movement, and has sent directions fur six dap' To tuns to he ►orwarded to Post 11 , ,tiet." The following comments of the Zuid Afrihaaa of the 7th of April are interesting, as showing the opinion entertained by the colonists as to the speedy termination of the war : " The Government notice of the 25th ult. is of a grati fying nature. We say this, inasmuch as the defeat of the enemy, therein recorded, is the first affair that we look upon as actually reflecting any credit upon the forces at head -quarters. Hitherto we have been too much accustomed to the old tune of marching and coun termarching a l ong t h e h i gh road, and upon being assailed making a charge upon the enemy and marching on again. " We do not, however, estimate so highly the advan tages gained by this engagement, nor do we believe that there is any present prospect of the war being soon brought to a conclusion; but such lessons as the one re cently taught, if followed up with rapidity, will cer tainly prove the oely means to lesson the period of pro traction. With the Gaikas at open war—with a reinforcement to their ranks from the 'Stambies—with the connivance of the Amagalekas—with the Tambookies and almost every native chief throughout British Kafraria and the Sovereignty in arms—and the Hottentot rebellion and defection in the army to boot—what actual prospect is there, we presume to ask, of a speedy termination of hostilities? " With such facts on record, no general order can have any effect. The danger is not diminishing, but progressive, and the wont part of the present rupture may yet have to be enacted. At the outset the Com mander-in-Chief had only to deal with the Gaika clans; now the number of his adversaries are tenfold. Let there be no hope held out, therefore, of approachin g peace, when w ar i s y e t rag i ng w i t h all its horrors, and may inflict calamities upon the colony never yet recorded in the pages of its history. " The praise bestowed on men who have nobly done their duty to their Queen and country is well earned, and is, after all, but a poor recompense for the dangers which they have braved at the peril of their lives; but, whilst t rumpet i ng forth this praise, let us not, in the descripti on of our achievements and the results likely d oc ow t ra h n e t r h e eo o b m, resort to hyperbole.

On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. COCHRANE rose to move an amendment, that it is the opinion of this House, that no Bill for the supply of water to the metropolis shall be proceeded with, unless the works required for an improved and complete supply of water to the metropolis shall be put up for competition as to the terms on which they shall be executed and maintained, upon a p to os t e h d e th p is i wen t c ontract _ for a term of years, on a general rate.

BOATSWAIN SMITH AGAIN.--George Smith, 70 years of age, and residing at 23, Weliclose-square, White chapel, well known as a self-appointed chaplain to sailors, and much frequenting Ratcliffe-highway and other places where sailors mostly congregate, was charged with creating an obstruction and calling a crowd in Dock street. On appearing to his bail he was accompanied by five little children (one of them a black's), wearing a sort of uniform, and having inscribed on their caps, " Sailors' Orphan Impregnable." He himself wore on a blue coat a good many decorations, and s medal. Liaeham, 216 H, found him preaching on the previous night, and perceiving that the .way was blocked up by a great crowd, ordered him several times to desist, but he still persisted, and bad to be taken into custody. Prisoner—l have preached for forty years in different parts of London. Here are sailors' orphans whom I hope to edify. I served with Nelson, and obeyed him 50 years ago, and must I now be prevented from obeying Christ? Mr. YARDLEY—I do not wish to see you in that place (the dock) any longer, but if you will insist on preaching you must do it without causing• obstruction in the public streets. Prisoner—Look at Punch an d Judy, and the public street singers. Mr. YARDLEY—AII who cause obstructions must be treated alike. There can be no objection to your preaching if you choose propm• places. However good your intentions, you cannot ca use obstructions in public thoroughfares. Prisoner—l only returned to London the other day, but before doing so I wrote to Lord John Russell, Sir George Grey, and the Commisa ioners of Police, intimat ing my intention of visiting Hyde -park and other places. When taken a short time ago by a City policeman, at Billingsgate, the Lord Mayor fa)ld me to go. This is the third time I have been arrested. now, and yet I never in terfere with parties or politics. Mr. YARDLEY—I was about to let you go, but as you seem inclined to persist, I shall be under the painful ne cessity of ordering you to find sureties. After several attempts on th e part of Mr. Yardley to extract a promise that the offeni :e should not be repeated, and a good deal of evasion on the part of the prisoner, on the ground that he was bound to preach the Gospel, finding that the worthy magic trate was about to carry oat his threats, the prisoner to ok out his pocket-book, and saying, "I will soon settle, that," made some memo randum. adding, " 1 must prom, ise if you insist." Mr. YARDLEY —Then on that condition you may go. The Rev. Boatswain then l eft, accompanied by his proteges. (Before Dr. LITSHINGTON.) This was an action brought by Lord Francis Russell and the officers and crew on board her Majesty's sloop of-war Tweed, to obtain salvage remuneration for ser vices rendered to the brig Jane from the sth to the 10th of February, 1849. The brig was outward-bound from Liverpool to Buenos Ayres with a general cargo, and having on board 76 emigrants. She struck on the English bank off the mouth of the river Rio Plata, and, the crew and passengers having been landed, the Tweed convoyed the cargo to Monte Video, where it was sold, and the proceeds, amounting to 1,8004, transmitted to this country. On behalf of the owners, it was contended that, as the services were rendered by one of the Quern's ships, a less amount of reward would meet the case than if they had been rendered by a vessel belonging to pri vate owners. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Addams were heard for the salvors; and Dr. Twigs for the owners. The Learned JUDGE said that the principle had long been settled that of and crews in her Majesty's ser vice were entitled to salvage remuneration, and he would not disturb it. He allotted 350 L THE DIARIA. ELIKABETH. This also was a salvage suit, and was instituted by two steam-tugs, the Commodore and the Wonder, to ob tain remuneration for services rendered to the Maria Elizabeth on the 7th of April, when on the Maplin Sand. The services were not denied by the owners, and The COURT allotted 2001. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 4. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBIANQUE) IN RE TENNANT. The bankrupt, William Tennant, of Chertsey, in the county of Surrey, draper, came up upon the question of certificate. The balance-sheet, which commences June 15th, 1847, and ends February 19th, 1851, shows the following: —Surplus on the 15th of Jane as per balance, 22/ ; creditors, unsecured, 1,8214; ditto, holding secu rity, 501.; property given up to assignees, at cost price, 961/., estimated to realise 7001.; debtors, good, 71.; ditto, doubtful, 76/.; ditto, bad, 164/.; property held by creditors, 107/. ;: losses, 2711. ; trade expenses, 277/.; domestic ditto, 1111. His Horrotra granted a certificate of the second class. The bankrupt was not opposed. IN RE BARUCH. The bankrupt, John Barugh, of 31, High Holborn, oil and colourulan, came up on the question of certifi % care. The balance-sheet, commencing January Ist, 1849, and ending February Ist, 1851, showed the fol lowing:—Creditors, unsecured, 1,894/.; ditto, secured, 9501; creditor bolding bill of sale, 243/.; creditors for rent, 334; liabilities, 741.; profits, 549/.; capital January Ist, 1849, 201.

His HONOUR, upon being informed that the assignees had no observations to offer, remarked that there should have been some made. There were no real profits, and there had been transfers of property immediately in con templation of the bankruptcy. He (the Commissioner), under the circumstances, could not allow a higher than a third-class certificate, and he had a little doubt whether he ought not to have suspended it. Third-class certificate granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. 13,4 Charles Bloahant, a clergyman, who was on Monday charged before the Lord Mayor with having stolen a shilling out of a plate at the Church of All Hallows, Barking, on Sunday la s t, was b roug ht b e f ore Alderman Wire for further examination. The publication of the statements made on the first examination having occasioned much interest and curio sity, a number of persons attended upon this occasion. 14 A solicitor attended for the prisoner. Henry Charles Rawlings said—l am a farmer at Hythe, in Suffolk, and I also keep the White Lion Hotel there. Some time since the prisoner came to my house, Od and in the course of the evening and on the following morning I had interviews with him, and he told me that he was in communication with the Rev. R. Campbell, the vicar of Hythe; that he was not acquainted with the reverend gentleman, but that he had received orders to preach on the following Sunday. He then left my house, and took lodgings in Church-street, at Mr. Short's, where he resided till he absconded in my debt. He re peatedly preached at Hythe Church, and was not only esteemed, but was a very great favourite with the con gregation, at the houses of some of whom, and amongst others that of myself, he has been entertained. I come here voluntarily, for the purpose of furthering the ends of justice, having seen the report in the newspapers 14 of his former examination. The prisoner's solicitor contended that there was no yi evidence to show that he had actually taken the shilling which he had been charged with having purloined out of the plate. Mr. Farley, of No. 3, Newcastle -street, said—l keep a coffee-house. The prisoner came to my house at the beginning of last March, and stated that he was rector of Bury St. Edmond's, and he went by the name of Locklaw. He lodged with me a fortnight. On Sunday morning, the 16th of March, he told me he was going to preach at St. James's Church, Albany-street, Regent's park, and I told him I should go and hear him. 1 could ,% not find a church of that name, and I went to five diffe rent churches in the neighbourhood, thinking that I 14 might have made a mistake myself. He never returned to my house, but he wrote me a note next morning, tell. - ing me that the omnibus in which he had been riding had broken down in Oxford-street, and that he had been prevented by that accident from proceeding on his journey, and was confined to his room, but that in a few days he would call and settle his account. He paid his first week's bill, but he left the charges of the second week unpaid. Alderman WIRE said be could not think of discharg ing the prisoner until after further investigation; and the prisoner wai accordingly taken back to prison. MA.RLBOROUGH-STREET. Jesse Hider, a cab driver, was summoned before Mr. Bingham for refusing to take Mr. Christopher Darby Griffiths, a county magistrate, of Pad worth-house, Read ing, to Scotland /ard, when required to do so, under the following curious circumstances:— Mr. Griffiths said, on the 20th of May he was cross• ing Regent-street, and saw defendant creeping along and plying for hire. The defendant stopped and plied him, upon which he said, " Drive on, sir, or you shall drive me to Scotland-yard." The defendant replied " Don't 44 treat me like a dog—treat me like a Christian." He said to the defendant, "You must recall that expression • or I shall get into your cab and make you drive me to Scotland-yard." The defendant refused at first, but afterwards he did drive him to Scotland-yard. After some conversation in Scotland-yard, at the office, he put down Bd., and he told the defendant if he took it up he would bring the matter before the public. The defendant did take the money. On cross-examination the complainant said be was ' 3 „an acting county magi s t rate , t h ough he had not been mach engaged in that way for the last three years. He opened the cab door himself and got in. He asked the defendant to apologise. The defendant would not allow that his proceeding was illegal. The defendant offered him personal apologies, but he did not desire them. The defendant said he was sorry if he had offended him • but he told the d e f en d ant he did not require per sonal apologies. t A professional man, w h o attended for the defendant, asked the complainant whether he would have summoned the defendant bad he declined to take his fare? The complainant appealed to the Bench to know whe ther hypothetical questions were permitted. Mr. BINOHAM said the defendant had been summoned for refusing to take the complainant as his fare, but it • appeared to him the allegation of the refusal was not sus „ tained. The three or four minutes which elapsed before the defendant took the complainant to Scotland-yard were the consequence of the altercation which had arisen between the complainant and the defendant as to the nature of the apology that was to be given. The de fendant had ultimately taken the complainant to Scot land-yard, and under all the circumstances he mast dis miss the case. THE TRUCK SYSTEM.—A reengrocer and general dealer of Lower Shadwell, nam ed Hutchinson, appeared to answer the charge of four ballast men, who com plained that he refused to rerata, aerate them for work and labour done. The case exhibited a systo ea of great hardship, of which the ballast• heavers are ri ow very justly complain ing. The defendant is one o f those who engage with masters of vessels to supply tile m with men who work at the ballast-heaving, and aecolt , ding to the statement of the complainants, instead of ps,ying them cash for their labour, he paid them rotten meat, at the same time lowering their amount of wages. Mr. YARDLEY asked Roche,, the gaoler, if he knew the rate at which ballast-hea, tors ought to be paid ? Roche—No, sir; but I kno•l9 that these poor men aro treated by the factors, who p, ay in kind, worse than the ooalwhippers were formerly us q d by the publicans. Mr. Ratcliffe, solicitor—The system is ono of the most crying evils of the day. Mr. YARDLEY—It is much to be regretted that the Truck Act does not apply to et, ll trades. I should like to know, Mr. Hutchinson, what: you receive for the job? Defendant -245., Sir. Complainant—He got 295., r. Mr. YARDLEY-If your mean were good there would be no necessity for adopting this s mode of disposing of it. Defendant—lt is good. Complainant—Why, at one tic me you gave me a shoul der of mutton which was as greet n as a leak. I'd get better meat in the Highway for 3id. than you charged me 6d. for. They sell as good for cats.. The defendant called a witm ss to prove that the men agreed to take provisions, and a s 'id that that was the only profit he had by the job. Roche—These people never r.,110w the men as much as the captains would pay; and, i n oreover, they cannot go to a respectable shop. Mr. YARDLEY-If I find that. any person pays off men with bad provisions, no matter what bargain may have been entered into, I shall not of )nsider the debt as dis charged. Defendant—The meat is in s I It for the men. Mr. YARDLEY—You will hal., e to get other customers for it, then. I order you to pay 245., the amount claimed 2s. costs, and 3s. other costs. Defendant—What are the otk er costs? Mr. YARDLEY—Pay the sum I ordered, sir-295. The parties then left, the deck 'ion giving general satis faction. NAVAL INTEL LIGENCE.

The court con sisted of Commander Willia m Hall, RN of Wey mouth, and Lieutenants Ilet, b eamande r of the district, of lyn and Goodridge. " Com mander Story, inspecting e which Torer o sforms a portion, was the official prosecu tor. Lieutenant Ross of jected at the outset of the in quiry, to the constitution of the coo rt, upon the ground that two of the members of the cot in were under the immediate command of Captain Story, the prosecutor; and that, one of them was his (Lieut. Rsas's) junior officer, and therefore incapacitated, uccordin g. to the instructions, which required that the proceedings of these courts of inquiry should be assimilated, as closely as possible, to the proceedings of court-martial. Ms formal protest, which embodied these objections, was received and enteral in the minutes, az - id the invo3iigution proceeded. The fact alleged in the charge was very shortly proved, but Lieutenant Ross alleged that he had not broken the regulations of the coast-guard service—the 16th article stating, " When officers or men are ordered to remove, they are not to be required to proceed (Wets tithe lie HAMMERSMITH. William Thomson, a decently-dressed man, aged 44, was charged with having made a violent attack on Mr. Fear gus O'Connor, M.P. Mr. O'Connor having been sworn, said, en the previ ous night, between nine and ten o'clock, as he was re turning from the House of Commons to his house at Notting-hill, defendant came up to him and accosted him, and he requested him, if he had anything to say to him, ~- to come to his ho use at e l even o ' clock. Defendant came a accordingly, and rang violently at the door, and made a great disturbance. Witness went out for the purpose of giving him into custody, when defendant seised him by I his collar, knocked his hat off, broke his guard-chain od and eye-glass, and then seized him by the throat. At tg that juncture a police -sergeant came up and took him 1 0 ? into custody. At t h at time defendant appeared to be * quite in a frenzy. About three months ago defendant smashed the windows of his house, and was at that time Os oommitted for two months. r Police -sergeant Davis, T 20, said that while on duty id on the previous night at Notting-hill, bearing a great t od noise, he went to the spot, and saw the defendant very violent outside Mr. O'Connor's house, and declaring that he would not leave until he saw him, for he owed him - between 601. and 701., and that he would break open the house unless he saw him.
