11, cio .• t r 4 11.1 ICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) ROSENBORG v. ALLItYNE. tr. Calms —lf your Honour pleases, I wish to men tioa the case of Rosenborg v. Alleyne, while my Learned Friend Mr. Rogers is in court. It was a case is which I applied to the Court for an injunc tion, preparatory to the dissolution of partnership. Your Honour may perhaps recollect that it was then stated that an engrossment of the deed for dissolution had been sent to the continent, in order to ascertain whether the defendants would execute it, but that the messenger had not been able at that time to meet the defendants at Brussels, where it was supposed they were. In pint of fact, the defendants immediately after wards received the deed, and at once executed it; in con sequence there is no object in continuing the suit, but we wish to go a little further with your Honour's per mission, and to take off the file the bill and the affidavits,-which contain matters which no one would wish to remain on the record longer than is necessary. My application is for an order by consent for that pur pose. There are precedents to that effect. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Have you a precedent for t eking the affidavits off the file? Mr. MALINS—I can mention one, Sir, which occurred in the private room, in the case of appointing a guardian. It was the last case of Mr. Hodgson appearing in court, and the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce took the affidavits off the file. The VICE-CHANCZLLOR—This is 8 case in which no one has any concern except the parties themselves ; if they see no objection I have none. Mr. CAIRNS—In making the application, your Honour wilt allow me to express, on the part of the plaintiffs, an acknowledgment of the very prompt and honourable manner in which the defendants have evinced an anxiety that the plaintiffs should not suffer from the unfortunate po,ition in which the defendants are placed, and to state also, that had it not been from the accidental circum stance I have referred to, of the messenger not having *even able to meet with the defendants, there would have to resort to thi s procee di ng . been no n ecessity lir. RoGERS—I appear for these defendants, and our Honour will allow me to say that they left t hi s country feeling strongly the very honour- Ole character of Mr. Rosenborg. Accordingly t hey executed a deed and signed a notice, which he sent without any advice whatsoever, relying entirely on Mr. Rosenbores honour and propriety. As the matter stands, of course your Honour will excuse me just saying, that those gentlemen still hope that fur ther proceedings will bring what they consider to be the truth to light, and that they shall be restored to society, and their character, at all events, so far as regards what is mentioned in this bill, will hereafter be explained and set right by them and their counsel. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Both parties consenting, let the bill and the affidavits be taken off the file. Solicitors for the plaintiffs, Messrs. Bevan and Good eve; for the defendants, Messrs. Emmet and Knight. TURKEY. The numerous conferences respecting the Holy Grsve baying terminated unsatisfactorily, the French illiuister, M. de Lavalette, has for the moment en trusted the current French business to the representa tive of Spain. The Governor of the Dardanelles having inflicted punishment with a stick on the dragoman belonging to the Austrian Consulate, all the Consuls have struck their flags, and suspended communications with the Governor.

THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) THE NEW FLAG• SHIP TOE THE AIEDITERRANHAN...... The Britannia, 120, flag-ship of Admiral Dundss, having been ordered to complete her crew to 970 officers and men, the officers have begun in right earnest to raise her blue jackets. Lieutenant Pym has proceeded to Devonport, Lieutenant Tower to Bristol, Lieutenant INl'Donald to London, and Mr. E. Smithett (mate) to Dover. She has already on her books a goodly number of petty officers, seamen, and boys. She has also her full detachment of Marines. The ship will be completed by the dock yard by the 14th January. The new Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Henderson, C.B. arrived at Monte Video on the I st of November, and relieved Rear-Admiral Reynolds, and assumed the command on the 4th, the latter gal lant officer proceeded to Rio, which place he was to leave November 18th for England. He may be ex Pee ed about the first week in January. Admiral Reynolds will most likely make Devonport first. Should he do so he will haul down his flag and go ashore there, and the Southampton will proceed to Chatham, to b e paid off.

On Monday evening last the Earl of Cardigan, and the officers of his splendid regiment, the 11th Hussars, now stationed at Nottingham Barracks, patronised this highly popular establishment, when a most bril liant and densely crowded audience attended. The performances were conducted most admirably. The great feature of the present week was the announce ment. of the appearance of Young Hernandez, and the consequence was densely packed houses on Monday and Tuesday. Of his performances we can justly say they exceeded those of any other rider we ever witnessed. With youth, and a fine formed figure, his first appearance is sufficient to win for him a favourable opinion ; his attitudes are most graceful, and his feats gigantic in their way, if such a term ma y be used. On Tuesday evening, we deeply regret to say, Hernandez met with a series of acci dents, falling three times from his horse, and each fall a seri ous one . At first, after per forming feats of daring, really more dangerous than pleasing, be fell on his right side over the edge of the ring ; he sprang back into the circle, and groaned most piteously. Several medical gentlemen present rushed into the circle, and he was borne into the dressing-room. Against the wishes of the pro prietor and the audience generally, who cried out for him to desist, he came back and mounted his horse — one belonging to himself—and, in apparent pain, but with indomitable courage, ran into a ca reer of extraordinary feats ; he threw a sum mersault, and lighted clearly on his feet ; but the horse's motions, which appeared to us not so graceful as the rest, threw him off his equilibrium, and he fell with his head and sides against the boards. He again attempted the same feat, and fell as on the first occasion. He was then taken away. By the kindness of Dr. Massey, we state the injuries re ceived :—" There was very considerable injury to the right side over the ribs, with much livid discoloration of the akin, and general swelling ; very violent pain was occasioned by the least manipulation of the part, and a very minute examination was therefore neither prudent nor advisable ; considerable mischief was further caused by his returning to the ring, and using violent exertion after the first accident." Dr. Massey atialided him after he had been placed in a warm bath), and applied suitable bandages, &c. lie slept well, and on Wednesday was much relieved, but unable to leave his bed. He was ordered to see no company, but to be kept as quiet as possible.—Notts Guardian. ROBBING A RAILWAY TRAIN. A money parcel, value between 50/. and 601., was adroitly stolen, on 'Wednesday last, from a train on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway. It was the passenger-train which starts from Hull at six I M. On its arrival at Retford two gentleman-like men, very stylishly dressed, stepped up to the guard and begged that he would allow them to continue their journey in his van instead of a carriage, so that they might enjoy a better view of the country. The guard's van is placed at the rear of the train, and being open abaft, its occupants have an uninter rupted prospect. The guard told then that he dared not admit them as it was against the rules. When the train stopped at Worksop station, eight miles further west, the two passengers renewed their application to the guard, and most pro bably resorted to the eloquence of a douceur, for the guard this time granted their request. Upon admitting them to his van, however, he told them they must get out before reaching the Sheffield station, or he should get into trouble. They readily promised compliance, and kept their word. At Wood house junction, a few miles east of Sheffield, they bade the guard a cheerful " Good morning," and en tered a passenger carriage. Their blandness had been remarkable. The train sped on its way till it reached its destination at Manchester, and then for the first time the guard missed a parcel containing money to the amount of more than 501. It had ben entrusted to him at the other end of the line for delivery to the railway company's cashier at Manchester, and was the pro ceeds of sales of coal. The guard at once suspected that his two affable travelling companions, whom he had mistaken for enthusiasts in landscape scenery, had stolen the parcel. They had fled, however, and all he could tell of their whereabouts was that he last saw one of the twain step out of a carriage at Woodhead, between Sheffield and Manchester, but whether or not he resumed his seat be did not know. The two strangers wore numerous showy rings on their fingers, and were in all respects very expensively dressed. Several money parcels were received by the guard ex route between Hull and Sheffield, but they were all put into a safe box, which was left at Sheffield. The box had en inner lid, sustained by springs, and so constructed that parcels can be put into the box, but cannot be taken out till it is unlocked at its destina tion. Money parcels going beyond Sheffield lie loose in the guard's van, and as a caution to the guard the amount enclosed is marked in bold characters on the wrapper. This writing is also useful in directing the fingers of a thief to the most valuable parcel. Mr. Allport, the manager, at once suspended the guard from duty. We understand that he has been a long time in the company's service, and that up to the time of this occurrence his character for honesty was un impeached. QUARANTINE NOTICE. Lisbon, Dec. 7.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 12. _ :Sittings at :Nisi Prim, at Guildholl, before Lord CAMrBELL and a Special Jury.) DODD V. LEGGATT. Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Willes appeared for the plaintiff; and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Cleasby for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action carried on business as a jeweller at No. 78, Cornhill, and sued the defendant in an action on the case for obstructing the entrance to his shop. Shop frontage in that part of the city was so valuable, that it was stated to be worth as much as 2/. ss. an inch per annum. This circum stance let to the original shop being divided into two, one of which was occupied by the plaintiff as a jeweller and the other by the defendant as a printseller. There was a common entrance passage to the two shops, and on each side of the passage there was a door lead ing into the respective shops. For some time the plaintiff and defendant lived together on good terms, and this continued down to the month of October, 1850, when some differences arose between them, which finally led to the present action. The ground of the present action was that the defendant in jured the plaintiff's business by standing in the passage, and obstructing the entrance to the plaintiff's shop. It was also alleged that the defendant was a man of great liveliness of conversation, and being very popular in the neighbourhood, would make the passers-by plunge into a long conversation, and thus was in the habit of occupying the passage, to the great obstruction of the plaintiff's business. Consi derable amusement was produced in court by the reading of certain notes of these conversations, which had been made by a boy in the plaintiff's service, in which the times during which the entrance was ob structed were accurately noted down. These entries were made daily for a considerable time. Some cus tomers of the plaintiff were also called, and stated that from the obstruction caused by the defendant they had felt difficulty in getting into the plaintiff's . shop Sir F. TIIESIGER, for the defendant, submitted that no substantial cause of action had been made out. The action sprung out of a misunderstanding which had unfortunately arisen between the parties, before which time there had been no complaint made by the plaintiff ; on the contrary, the plaintiff had derived considerable advantage from the defendant's conver sational powers. Lord CAMPBELL said, the question for the jury was entirely one of fact. The plaintiff's object was pro bably not to obtain substantial damages, but only such as would relieve him from the inconvenience which he sustained from the defendant's conduct. As the fact of the defendant's standing in the passage was clearly proved, the only question would be, whe ther he had done so to such an extent as to give the plaintiff just cause of complaint. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. Lord CAMPBELL certified that the action was a proper one to be tried by a special jury. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 12. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS and Special Juries.) WARD V. LORD LONDESBOROIIII. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. Willes appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Bram well, Q.C., for the defendant. This was an action for money had and received, brought for the recovery of 210/ paid by the plaintiff in the autumn of 1845 as a deposit on 100 scrip shares in an undertaking which was at one time registered as the Dover and Deal Railway, Cinque Ports, Tha net, and Coast Junction Company, and afterwards, more simply, as the Dover and Deal Railway Com pany. The plaintiff, who was at that time M.P. for Canterbury, took an active part and attended several meetings for the purpose of promoting the scheme, and a Bill was brought into the House of Commons and re ferred to a Committee, by whom it was rejected. The affAir altogether failed, and has since been put into the Court of Chancery under the Winding-up Acta. The letter of allotment was given in evidence, and also a letter of guarantee, sent at the same time, which con tained a passage to the effect that, if the Act were not obtained, the directors undertook to return the whole of the deposits. The plaintiff never executed the Par liamentary contract, but afterlthe s failure of the scheme was offered a return of 11. a share if he would consent to do so. The facts of this case were almost precisely similar' with those of "_Collins v. Lord Londesbo rough," tried before the Lord Chief Justice this time last year, and decided in favour of the plaintiff. As his Lordship's opinion on the evidence remained un changed, he directed a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant BYLES tendered a bill of exceptions,:on the ground that sufficient evidence of the sending of the letters of allotment and guarantee to the plaintiff had not been given, and that neither the application for shares nor the letters of allotment or guarantee were stamped; and that money had and received would not lie. SMITH V. TYAS. This was an action for false imprisonment on a charge of felony, to which the defendant pleaded " Not guilty."

Last June the plain tiff detected a man named Burke, who lived on the premises ,taking parts of the machinery, had him ar rested, end wrote to th e de f endant informing him of the fact, and asking him to prosecute. The defen dant answered by saying that he looked to the plain. SATURDAY EVENING, tiff for the protection of the machinery, as he had re fused to deliver it up when demanded. When , the assignee under the bankruptcy took a fiat of the property at the wharf the plaintiff caused the letter L to be put opposite almost all the things in the list, including the machinery, to denote that they were the property of the landlord, and thereby save them from being seized by the messenger. The defendant, on coming to town, found a great part of the machinery had been removed from the wharf to the plaintiff's residence, and gave him into custody on a charge of stealing the machinery, which charge was dismissed before the magistrates. Several witnesses gave evidence in support of the plaintiff's case, and the defendant and others were examined for the defendant in mitigation of damages. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said that with reference to the remarks that had been made by counsel as to the want of the plaintiff's testimony, he had considered the intention of the new Evidence Act, and he thought it was not so much brought forward to supply defects of evidence as to disclose the whole truth ; and that here it might have been as well if the plaintiff himself had given his testimony. His Lord ship then went through the evidence in the case. The jury retired, and after a short interval returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 251. SMITH, THE YOUNGER, V. TYAS. CARD V.

A verdict, therefore, was taken in each case by consent for 201. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Dec. 12. (Before the RECORDER.) EDWARD A/4D ANOTHER V. STACKET-811ARPE AND WILKINS, GARNISHEES. This was an attachment in an action of debt under which two boxes of Californian golddust, of the value of 16,000 dolls., in sterling 3,-1911., had been attached. The action was for 7001. Mr. Randall (with whom was Mr. Locke) appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Ryland for the garnishee Wil kins, trading as Sharpe and Wilkins. From the opening statement it appeared that the plaintiffs were merchants at Halifax, and Mr. Starkey had traded as a merchant at Liverpool, as Starkey and Co. The garnishee, Mr. Henry Charles Wilkins, was a bullion broker in Winchester-street, in the City. The present proceedings involved a novel point. In October last he received from the bullion-office of the Bank of England, by virtue of a bill of lading which he had received from Starkey, two boxes of Californian golddust, of the value described, which had been shipped from San Francisco, where Starkey had a branch establishment, for Southampton, by the steamer Clyde, and which, on its arrival at that port, was conveyed to London, and deposited in the bullion office of the Bank of England for security. The captain of the vessel in which the gold was brought from California had a bill of lading which was deposited at the Bank of England, and another bill of lading was forwarded to Starkey at Liverpool, to whom the gold was consigned. The last bill of lading stated that the consignment was "as per en dorsement," the endorsement being a list of persons to whom the proceeds of the golddust were to be paid over in various proportions, and the question to be deeided was, whether Mr. Starkey had a real and substantial interest in the consignment, or, in other words, whether the golddust, which came into the possession of Mr. Wilkins, belonged to Mr. Starkey, or to the persons whose names were endorsed on the bill of lading, under which he received the golddust from the Bank. There was no such endorsement on the bill of lading brought over by the captain, and the question was, whether the other was genuine, and had the endorsement when it left San Francisco. A bill of lading had never been so endorsed before, and the point which arose in this case had never occurred in any previous proceeding. The evidence proved the receipt of the gold and bill of lading from the captain. The gold realized 3,351/. 7s. 2d., of which Mr. Wilkins had paid 2,400/. to the persons named in the endorsement. He had the ba lance on account of the present proceedings. It was contended by the Learned Counsel for the garnishee that Mr. Starkey had no interest in the consignment, but was merely an agent, and that when the bill of lading heel come into the possession of the accountant to Mr. Starkey's estate it was sent to Wilkins, and the sum paid had been divided in pro portions, the balance being kept until the present question was decided. It was proved that the signatures to the bill of lading were those of Starkey and Brothers, San Francisco, and Mr. Wilkins said he had no doubt that the bill of ,lading left California with the en dorsement of the names of the parties for whose be nefit the golddust was forwarded. The RECORDER, in placing the case before the jury, said he had intended to ask them whether they were of opinion that the endorsement was on the bill of la ding when it left California, but after what Mr. Wilkins had said there could be no doubt about it. It appeared to him that the gold was consigned to Starkey to hold for the bi refit of others, and, though it was formally consigned to him, it was the property of the parties named in the endorsement. It was of the greatest possible importance that the law re lating to bills of lading should be strictly adhered to, giving as they did a paramount title to property consigned, and being so extensively used in transactions between commercial men ; but in the present case (and he never recollected a similar one) he thought, that although the bill of lading was sent to Starkey, he had no interest in the property, and if the jury adopted that view of the case they would re turn a verdict for the garnishee. The foreman said the jury were of opinion that Starkey had no substantial interest in the gold. Th e R E CORDER said it was in effect a verdict for the garnishee.—Verdiet accordingly. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Dec. 12. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. B aron P ARKE .) mu j r ° d 4 e n r HofahmisPsw°l who was tri e d y es t er d ay f or th e and convicted of manslaughter, was called up for sentence. His Lonnsuir said the jury had taken a favourable view of the case in acquitting him of the charge of murder, in which he entirely concurred, but that they bad formed, on the other hand, a very unfavourable view of the case in finding that, owing to his ill treatment, his unfortunate wife had met with her death ; in which view of the case the Learned Judge said he also quite agreed with the jury. He felt bound to pass upon the prisoner the severest sentence of the law for the crime of which he had been con victed, which was, that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life. Patrick Goulden, 28, was indicted for the wilful murder at Manchester of John Owen. Mr. Wheeler prosecuted, and Mr. Monk defended the prisoner. The circumstances of this case occurred on the night of the 10th of October last, upon which occa ' ion a general i ll umination took place in celebra tion o f wh o Majesty s visit t o M anc h es t er . Th e de ceased,Cable-street, a street running out of Oldham-road. her was about 50 y ears o f age , res id e d i n The prisoner, who lived in the same street, next door to Mahon's public-house, had married the daughter of the deceased's wife by a former husband. Upon the night in question between twelve and one o'clock, the pri soner's wife and the deceased were standing close to the beerhouse, engaged in angry conversation. While this was going on the prisoner came up. There was a good light over Mahon's beerhouse, and the illumi nations, which were general in Oldham-street, made it easy to see what passed. The prisoner asked, " What is this row about ? " upon which the deceased answered, " Your Missis says you are able to fight me, and I'll fight you in the morning," The priso ner said, " I can fight you at any minute," and imme diately struck the deceased. The deceased, who had not aimed any blow himself, put his hand up to his eye, and staggered back against the railings. A wit ness named Murphy ran up to him and laid hold of him, placing him in a sitting position on the ground. Ile, however, fell, and was then placed upon his back, and very shortly afterwards was carried to the infir mary, bleeding from the right eye. The deceased ap peared to be a little in liquor, but the prisoner was sober and walked steadily. After giving the blow the prisoner and his wife went into their own house and closed the door. _ _ Ellen Smith, who lived opposits Mahon's, and was a witness of the quarrel between the prisoner's wife and the deceased on the night in question, heard the prisoner's wife say to the deceased that he had a sister who was a prostitute, and an aunt who had been transported. He denied this, and was walking off, when she asked him to stay, as she was only keeping him in suspense till her husband came. This witness then saw the prisoner, who was standing ap parently listening about six or eight yards off, draw something glittering from his right hand coat pocket, and step forward towards his own door and address the deceased as above stated. She then saw the pri soner draw his right hand up and stab the deceased on his right eye. The police-constable who was called in to see the deceased spoke to going to the prisoner's house and being compelled to force his way in, the parties inside refusing to open it. lie found two knives on a stool, the blade of one being about four inches long, and the haft of about the same length. On charging the prisoner with stabbing the deceased, he said he had not done it with anything sharp, but with s wooden chip he had picked up at New-cross. Upon this, witness going back to Cable-street from the infirmary, whither he had gone to see the deceased, he searched about for the chip, but could not find one. Mr. Skinner, house•-surgeon to the Manchester In firmary, saw the deceased about 1 o'clock on Satur day morning, when he was brought there. The eye was much swollen and bleeding, and at that time he was unable to make an examination, nor Was he able DECEMBER 13, 1861. to do so until after the deathtof the deceased, which took place on the following Monday. He tuen found a wound which had penetrated the eye and fractured the orbital plate of the frontal bone. There was con- siderable laceration and the brain had been injured, which had been the cause of death. The wound had been about two inches in depth, and little splinters of bone had got into the brain. He should think that the wound had been made by a knife, but he would not say that it might not have been made by a shar pened piece of wood. Mr. MoNK addressed the jury for the prisoner, and urged that there was no proof of malice in this case to sustain the charge of murder. There was no doubt that the blow given by the prisoner had caused the death of the deceased, and no one regretted it more than be did, but the blow was given in a moment of extraordinary provocation, and that circumstance, in the absence of malice, made the offence manslaughter. Mr. Baron PARKE summed up the evidence, ex plaining to the jury the law as it respects the charge of murder, and what amount of proof of provocation was considered to be necessary to reduce the crime to that of mauslaughter. The jury, after a short consultation in the box, re tired from court, and had not returned when our re- port left. Francis Mawdesley, aged 23, was indicted for the manslaughter, on the 8:h of Decernbar, at Prescot, of Juhn Chesworth. Mr. Raffles prosecuted, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner. It seemed from the evidence in this case, that on Monday evening last the prisoner, the deceased, and some other men were drinking together at a public house in Snig-lane, Prescot. The conversation turned upon a fight which had taken place on the previous Saturday evening between William Ches worth and another man. The deceased boasted that he had challenged every man on the field to fight, except the two who were actually engaged. Upon this the deceased said, " Well, it's now then," and they accordingly adjourned about a quarter-past ten o'clock to a field close at hand. The only witm ss of the fight was a man named Ilulme, who said that they fought 13 or 14 rounds, and that it was a fair fight. The deceased received several severe blows from the prisoner, and, soon after they had given up fighting, was seen to stagger up against some rails, and began to vomit. The prisoner asked Huline to take him home, which he did, and a surgeon Ras immediately sent for. From the first he considered the case hopeless, he being in an apoplectic fit, evi dently arising, as was his opinion, from external vio lence. There was a rupture of the stomach of a very serious nature. His LORDSHIP, on proof of these facts, put it to the Learned Counsel for the prisoner if he would address the jury, and told them, that the death having evi dently been caused in the manner alleged, they must find the prisoner guilty, and The jury having accordingly convicted him, His LORDSHIP said he should deal leniently with the prisoner under all the circumstances, and sentenced him to three weeks' imprisonment. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) James Aspden, 57, was charged with having, at Blackburn, on the 22d of November, killed and slain Paul Parkinson. Mr. M'Oubrey prosecuted, and Mr.ißlair defended the prisoner. It appeared that about nine o'clock on the night of the 22d of November, the deceased and two other boys named Eccles and Waddington were walking up Dar wen-street towards Blackburn. When pass ing near the house of the prisoner, who is a clogger, one of the two other boys heard the sound of a blow falling on the head' of the deceased, but the person who gave the blow was seen by neither of them. Eccles and Waddington then ran off, and at that time saw no more of the deceased, but soon after Wad dington returned, and found him sitting on the foot• way, whence he was removed to the Hare and Hounds public-house. It further appeared that a boy named George Tierney, who was going in an opposite direction to that in which the three boys were, met them, and after they had passed turned round to look after them, when he saw them crossing the road. They were about the middle of the road when this boy saw the prisoner strike the deceased, apparently with a walking-stick. The deceased fell close to the footpath, and on Tierney going up to him he said " Oh, dear," and was very shortly taken to the Hare and Hounds, where he died in about 20 minutes. From the evidence of a woman named Alice Todd it seemed that the deceased might have fallen upon the kerb-stone, and Mr. Pickup, the surgeon, who saw the boy, said that the contused wound which he found on the side of the boy's head might have been caused by a blow from a stick or by a tall upon the kerbstone. A bloodvessel hod been ruptured, and there was some coagulated blood on the brain. When the prisoner was taken into custody he expressed great regret for what had happened, and said that the boys had been calling him names and throwing stones into his shop, upon which he had run out, and struck one of them with a stick, not intend ing any harm. It was admitted on the part of the prosecution that the character of the prisoner was irreproachable. The jury found a verdict of Not Guilty, upon which - - The Learned JUDGE discharged the prisoner, say ing that he was sure his own feelings had been a sufficient punishment, and cautioning him against using such a stick as had been described against a child in future. Frederick Jones and William Walker, two boys, who had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with presenting a pistol at Ellen Wood with in tent to rob her, were called up in the course of the morning for sentence. Mr. WHEELER, who was instructed for the prose cution,requested his Lordship's attention to the facts of the case, which were of a somewhat singular na ture. It appeared that the prisoners who were about sixteen years of age, were born at Stockport, where they had lived up to the present time, and hitherto no charge had been brought against them. They had not been the associates of dishonest characters, nor, so far as was known, had they been absent from their work for a single day. From inquiries made by Mr. Sadler, the head of the police, that gentleman had ascertained that about fifteen months since they had been employed by a man who had been in the habit of reading publications like " Jack Sheppard " and others illustrative of the lives of notorious rob bers. These boys had been encouraged by this man to indulge in the perusal of similar books, and it was believed to be owing to the vicious excitement engen dered by reading such trash that they now stood in the dock before his Lordship. Their parents had set them an excellent example, and up to the time of their going to work with this man they had been well conducted youths. Masks, matches, and all the paraphernalia of " Jack Sheppardism " were found upon the boys. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence upon the prisoners, said that, upon reading the depositions, he had ♦ery much feared that he should be compelled to pass upon them a sentence of transportation ; but, after what he had heard, he was led to to think that a lengthened term of imprisonment might result in their reformation and satisfy the ends of justice.—They were then sentenced to six months' imprisonment. John Deane was charged with having, at Liver pool, on the 25th of July last, forged and uttered a bill of exchange for 1541. 16s. 3d. Mr. Simon and Mr. Rushten prosecuted ; and Mr. Tindal Atkinson and Sir G. Stephen defended the prisoner. The prisoner was a highly respectable tradesman in Liverpool, having, for forty years carried on the busi ness of a chemist and druggist in Castle-street, in that town. For thr. 3or four years he had banked with Messrs. Moss and Co., of Dale-street, but his account wes not at any time a large one, and latterly it had been in a very unsatisfactory state. In July kit Messrs. Moss pressed the prisoner for the payment of the balance then owing to them, which was 1381. Being threatened with legal proceedings the prisoner went to the bank on the 25th of July, and paid to his own account a bill of exchange for 1541. 16s. 3d., drawn by himself on John Ainley, broker, &c., Leeds, pur porting to be accapted by John Ainley, and payable at Glyn's and Co., London. The bill was discounted by Messrs. Moss, and the prisoner's account credited with the balance. The bill went through the hands of various endorsees, but when due was dishonoured. Inquiries were then made by Messrs. Moss at Leeds for the acceptor, and a letter was sent to Leeds, but, notwithstanding ull the inquiries of the police, no such person could he found. When the prisoner was ap prehended he stated that Ainley was a sharebroker at Leeds, but he was ignorant of where he was to be found, and that he last heard of him by letter from Leeds, and believed he had gone to America. In was proved by the police that there was no such person as John Ainley, a sharebroker in Leeds, and, that, t h o ugh persons of that name did reside in that town, none of them were sharebrokers, or knew anything of the prisoner. The prosecution contended that it was for the prisoner to show who John Ainley was. The present was not the only transaction in which the prisoner was engaged, for he had accounts at two other banks in Liverpool, at both of which bills drawn and accepted in a similar manner had been paid in, and duly honoured. In every case the prisoner had himself retired these bill, when they fell due, through the Borough Bank—the Liverpool cor respondents of Glyn and Co. lie appeared to have used the Borough Bank solely for the purpose of re tiring these bills, and, though he had been paying them in at various times at various banks since the year 1847, all being of the same description, drawn by himself on Ainley, and accepted by Ainley pay able at Glyn's, there did not appear to have been any person in the character of an acceptor making in quiries as to them when they were falling due, and no one came forward on the part of the prisoner to give any account of a person named John Ainley an swering to the description of the supposed RCOeptOr. Mr. Gilbert Mess, a partner in the banking-house of Messrs. Moss and Co., proved the payment into their bank of the bill whidi formed the subject of the indictmenit, and produced two other bills paid into their bank also by the prisoner ; one dated the 3,1 of October, 1850, payable at four months ; the other dated the 21st of January, 1851, both drawn and ac cepted in a similar manner. Sullivan, an officer of the Liverpool detective po lice, proved that he went over to Leeds, and, with the assistance of Bromley, an officer of the Leeds force, made every inquiry possible with a view to discover the alleged acceptor of the bills, but no John Ainley could be found. A letter was found at the post-office addressed to such a person, which proved to be the usual notice from Messrs. Moss and Co. of the dis honour of the bill. Two persons from Leeds were called, one a bro ker's clerk, and the other, whose name was John Ainley, a solicitor's clerk, who proved that there was no broker of that name i❑ Leeds. Proof was also given of the prisoner having kept accounts at two other banks in Liverpool, into one of which a dis honoured bill was paid, purporting to be accepted by the same person, and dated on the 25th of Juue last. No other person than the prisoner was known to any of these parties, and of course they were ignorant of John Ainley. The supposed acceptor had never paid any of !he hills. Mr. T. ATKINSON addressed the jury for the de fence, and urged that there might have been such a person as John Ainley, and that he might have gone to America, and that he might have had transactions as an " outsider" on the Leeds Stock- Exchange. He suggested that they were accommodation bills, in which case the prisoner might not like to retire them through his own bankers. He called a ❑umber of respectable witnesses who had known the prisoner thirty years, and gave him an excellent character. His LORI/gilt' summed up, and the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said, that in a case of doubt evidence of previous good character might be of some advantage, but in a case like the present, where the guilt of the prisoner was so clearly brought home to him, and fraught with such dangerous consequences to a commercial country, he should not be doing justice were he to pass a lighter sentence than transportation for ten years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Francis Lloyd was brought before Sir J. Key, charged with having robbed his employer. The prisoner was servant to Mr. Everest, a licensed victualler, and had, from certain circumstances been suspected of dishonest conduct. Cigars and spirits had sometimes disappeared as if by magic. At last it was discovered that a hole had been bored in a spirit cask, and in the prisoner's jacket were found six cheroots, which the prosecutor believed had been supplied to the house by his own tobacconist, upon applying to whom he was informed that he was right in his conjecture. The prosecutor, therefore, watched the prisoner, who soon afterwards stepped into the bar and pocketed some money which had been left marked in the till, and also some cigars. When the prisoner thought he had completely succeeded, he was astonished by being collared by his master, who asked him for the money and cigars he had just stolen. He at once delivered up several cigars and some pence ; and the prosecutor, upon searching the fellow's box, found some bottles which had recently contained brandy, which no doubt had been drawn out of one of the casks in the cellar, by means of a gimlet found along with some of the stolen property in his jacket. Sir J. KEY—Did you make him any promise of pardon ? Mr. Everest—l told him that if he would tell me the extent to which he had robbed me I would discharge him at once, and would not prese cute him, but if he would not I would lock him up. I have reason to suppose that he has been plundering me for a considerable time, and could not think of letting him go without communicating with the magistrate. Sir J. KEY—I shall remand him for a week. I regret to find that the facilities which necessarily exist in public•houses for the commission of plunder, are taken advantage of in innumerable instances. A publican can scarcely turn his head about without subjecting himself to robbery in some shape or other. The prisoner did not attempt to deny that he had been robbing his master, but submitted that he was entitled to some wages which he said was due to him, and to which no act of his could disentitle him.—The prisoner was then remanded. GUILDHALL. Joseph Cox, describing himself as a tailor and draper, of 22, Drummond-street, was brought up on a warrant in the custody of Roe, the summoning officer of this court, charged with endeavouring to obtain 1501. from a charitable fund, commonly known as " Wilson's Trust," by means of fraud and forgery." Mr. Finch, of the firm of Finch and Shepheard, of Moorgate-street, solicitors to the trustees of Wilson's Trust, stated that he appeared on behalf of Mr. Brown, the Chamberlain of the city of London, to prosecute the prisoner for an attempted fraud upon the charity, to which the Chamberlain was treasurer, but, as the prisoner had only been apprehended within the previous hour, he would not be in a po sition to prove more than was merely sufficient to ask for a remand. Syms Scott, a clerk in the Chamberlain's-office,. said he knew the prisoner at the bar, and received from him the form of application for a loan produced. The form was originally issued from the Chamber lain's-office. Witness received it on the 223 of July, 1851, from the prisoner. The form of application contained several names purporting to be signed by parties recommending prisoner to the trustees for the loan, and offering themselves as security for the re payment of the money advanced. Two of the recom mending parties were David Carr, draper, of 28, Warwick street, and S. Bull, draper, of St. Martin's lane. These appeared on page 1, and on page 2 there were three other parties named as sureties— John Smith, bargeowner, of 24, Louisa street, Stepney, George Lucas, Ironmonger, 15, Caledonian road, Islington, and Walter Cooper, 23. Euston place, New-road, the district surveyor to the parish of St. Pancras. The application was for 1501., of which the Lord Mayor, the two senior Aldermen, the Re corder, and the Chamberlain were the trustees: The interest chargeable on all loans from this fund was 1 per cent. for the first year, and 2 per cent. for the next four years. Witness had seen prisoner several times since, as he called from time to time to see how his case was progressing, but witness continually put him off. He looked at the Post- office Directory, but could not find any of th e names o f t h e th ree propose d sureties. Prisoner, after describing himself as a tailor and draper, commenced his petition as follows : " I, Joseph Cox, respectfully apply to the trustees for managing Mr. Samuel Wilson's legacy for the loan of 150/., and propose the persons whose names are under written as the sureties. My age is 20. I commenced carrying on business at 22, Drummond-street, as above, on the 4th day of March, 1850. I first went into busi ness on my own account as a tailor and draper on the 28th day of February, 1850. I hold the said premises of Mr. Locock under lease for 21 years." The petition was then signed with the prisoner's name, followed by those of the proposed sureties. In consequence of information witness received he ac companied Roe fo 22, Drummond-street, and the door was opened t o th e m by the prisoner. Witness inquired if his name was "Fenton," and prisoner im mediately looked him very hard in the face, retired into the back parlour, followed by witness and Roe, who then produced the warrant, and took prisoner into custody. Witness did not see the prisoner sign the form of application, but he brought it to him as his own signature. Thomas William Allen, clerk to the solicitors for the trustees, said that on the sth of September be re ceived directions to inquire into the particulars of pri soner's application for the loan. Prisoner had no shop in Drummond-street, but lived in a private house there. He went to Bull's, in St. Martin's-lane, and saw the head man of the establishment, who in formed him that the name of G. Bull on the form was not Mr. Bull's signature, neither were the initals cor rect. There was no other person of the name of Bull in St. Martin's-lane. Mr. Finch was about to prove that the other names were equally fictitious, but Alderman FINN'S said there was enough given in evidence to support the charge of forgery. The prisoner, who had declined asking any ques tions or making any defence before, on hearing the charge was likely to be treated as a forgery, denied all knowledge of the contents of the application, or that any part of it was his handwriting. Alderman FrslNrs said the prisoner had delivered it as his application, and that would be su ffi c i ent f or t h e ends of justice.—The prisoner was then remanded. BO W-STREET. Lazarus Reichenberger, a German, was brought before Mr. Jardine for re - examination, charged with Bending a threatening letter to Mr. Joseph Ullman, ironmonger, of 446, New Oxford- street, with the view of extorting money. It transpired at the previous examination that the complainant had known the p r i soner a b roa d , an d h a d frequently relieved him since his residence in this country. He had lately resisted his demands, and consequently the letter in ques ti on was sent to hi m, the prisoner having therein r e p resen t e d hi mse lf as an agent of a trades' protecti on soc i ety, an d i nten di ng to expose ‘: certain transactio ns " a b roa d, a ff ec ti ng com plai▪ nant s character, if he did not transmit him 15/.
