E. and A. Acraman, and, assuming this to be so, my conclusion, including all such as has been admitted subject to objection on the part of the assignees —is, that no assent to that indorsement, either antecedent or subsequent, express or construc tive, was ever given by any partner of the firm of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., not being a partner also of the firm of D. E. and A. Acraman; and this opinion I should entertain even independently of any consideration of the arrangement by which the duty of drawing and endorsing all bills, &c., was assigned to a particular person, viz • to George Morgan, though that arrangement affords a strong acklitonal reason to believe that the endorsement in question was unauthorised. His Honour observed that there were circumstances which cleared Long, jun., from all imputation of fraud, but be observed—This can not alter the case in point of law, for it &early results from " Ex parte Goulding," before cited, from "Ex parte Agace" (2 Cox, p. 312), an d f rom a considera tion of the true principles on which the whole class of decisions now in question is f, unded, that fraud on the part of the taker of the bill is no necessary ingre dient in the defence now set up by the assignees ; that Long, jun., however unsuspicious of anything wrong, had no right to rely on the validi ty o f t h e endorsement in the partnership name, offered by one of the partners to pay or secure what he separately owed to him (Long, jun.) ; and that if be chose to take it withaut further inquiry, trusting to the assertion of W. E. Acraman that authority had been given, supported by his further . statement of transactions between the two firms, tending to make the assertion probable, he did so at his peril. The most specious argument in favour of the claimant is, that when the endorsement was given, it may be considered as . given in respect of a loan then contracted with Long, jun., on behalf of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., and that W. E. Acraman, as one of their partners, had authority by law so to contract with a stranger, independently of any authority in fact from that house. But the answer is —first, that no new loan can possibly be considered as having taken place on that occasion; secondly, that if any took place upon that occasion it was with 1). E. and A. Acraman, not with Acramans, Morgan, and Co.; and thirdly, that though W. E. Acraman should have had pre sumptive authority, as a partner with Acramans, Morgan, and Co., to give their endorsement, if the immediate object of the endorsement had been a loan to them, he had none where its immediate object (as in the present case) was to pay or secure his own debt. My judgment being in favour of the as signees as regards the first ground of defence, I might decline the further task of considering the second, the decision on which, either one way or the other, would he immaterial, supposing that on the first to be right. But, as an appeal is probable, and as it may save time and expense to have the whole matter laid at once before the appellate jurisdiction, I will now proceed to state my views on the second ground of defence, that is, upon the question as to double proof. His Honour hav ing cited several authorities, concluded as follows Upon the whole, I reject the proof; but, taking into consideration the uncertainty which prevailed with respect to the precise state of facts until the full in vestigation which has just taken place, and the de gree of difficulty which attends the legal solution of the case even when its facts are ascertained, I do not feel myself called upon to award any costs against the claimants beyond those which were awarded on the 21st of August last, when they obtained leave to amend their proof, and which costs, being occasioned by an incorrect statement of facts which lay within their own knowledge, it appeared to me they ought to pay. As to those, therefore, that have been in curred since, the claimants will have to pay their own only, the assignees being of course allowed to charge theirs (after taxation by the Registrar) on the estate. Mr. Stone, of the western circuit, and Mr. Rox burgh, of the Chancery bar, were counsel for the assignees, and Mr. W. B.van solicitor to the claimants. THE FIRE AT BERMONDSEY. The fire which occurred yesterday morning in the Grange-road, Bermondsey, briefly noticed in this journal of the same day, was attended with a far greater destruction of property than was at first anti cipated. The premises belonging to Messrs. Beach and Sons occupied an immense area of ground, and comprised sundry buildings, such as drying-houses, warehouses, and lofts. The principal portion was formed of timber, so that it seems miraculous that the ' flames should have been stopped before they had swept down every building on the ground. At one period the fire rose upwards of twenty feet above the roof of the surrounding property, and extended to the opposite side of the road, tiring in succession the pre mises of Messrs. Newcomb, wheelwrights; Mr. Prestage, a tailors' trimming seller, in Gloucester row ; three other houses its the same row, and a large building in Salmon's p , ace: 1-lad the firemen not ob tained such an early supply of water, it is impossible to conceive what must have been the extent of the conflagration. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the brigade, had several engines placed in the Grange-road, whilst Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the same establishment, had others taken into Glou cester-row. By that expedient the firemen were enabled to attack the flames at every point, and even tually they succeeded in stopping their further exten sion, and the whole of the remaining manufacturing premises were preserved. Although a strict inquiry has been made by the owners of the property to find out the cause of the misfortune, nothing that could be depended upon could be ascertained.

BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 17.—At Gloucester and Wor cester markets, on the 12th instant, wheat firmly main tained its value, but there was a want of life in the trade.

The number of sheep was but small, the wants of buyers were limited, and there was but little doing amongst them. The supply of fat pigs was not so large to-day as it has been for several preceding markets, and the sale of all kinds was brisk, with an improvement in the price.

Trado has continued inactive throughout the week, without leading to a quotable change in the value of any article, This day's market was moderately well attended; business was restricted to the supply of imme diate wants, with the turn in buyers' favour.

Mr. Lewis—Da I understand the Court that he is acquitted ? Mr. Rushton—Certainly ; there is no evidence,and M'Guire is discharged too. Mr. Lewis—Thank you, Sir. That is all I ask. Mr. Rushton—You have no further charge against M'Guire, Mr. Dowling? Mr. Dowling —I have none ; that is, I cannot pro ceed any further. I have no further evidence. Mr. Rushton—Then M'Guire must be discharged, as far as lam concerned. I have, however, no hesi tation in saying that if the handwriting on the ca nister had been spoken to I would have committed both the prisoners on th e c h arg e. It b e h oves p ersons i n their situation to be very careful how they receive property, and more especially in the position that the prisoner Sirrell was. I am very glad the county justices have done their duty and commited him. The prisoners were then removed from the dock. It is stated that Sirrell is in very low spirits, and frequently makes use of desponding expressions. He will be brought up, in conjunction with M'Auley to morrow. The general impression in the town is, that the case will break down if M-Auley is not indicted as the receiver, instead of the thief; and that it will entirely fail as regards Sirrell, he not baying opened the parcel containing the stolen plate before it was seized by the officers. It will be remembered that Sirrell positively refused to have anything to do with the parcel after it was delivered to him by the porter, and it is stated that he was never known to have re ceived one before. It was always done by his clerks, and it was only by acting in collusion with the rail. way porter that the police officers were enabled to get the better of him in this instance. Among other ru mours, is one to the effect that Sirrell was on the eve of retiring from business, and that in another month the whole of his stock would have passed into other hands. BRISTOL COUR l' OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Sergeant STEPHEN.) IN RE ACRAMANS, MORGAN, AND CO., SHIPBUILDERS, &C., BRISTOL. The circumstances attendant on the bankruptcy of this firm, one of the largest in the kingdom, have oc cupied the Court some years, not only on account of the magnitude of the claims involved, but from the difficult legal questions which have from time to time arisen. Many of the points which have been decided have been of the utmost general interest from the high authority of Mr. Sergeant Stephen in bank ruptcy matters. On Tuesday his Honour delivered a voluminous judgment, in which points of the highest interest to the mercantile community at large were decided on a proof tendered by Mr. William Alexander Long and others for 6,1981. 15a., being the amount of two bills for 2,5251. and 4,0004, dated the 14th and 20th of December, 1841, drawn by W. Alexander Long, jun., on and accepted by D. E. and A. Acraman, and endorsed in the name of of " Acramans, Morgan, and C 0.," after deducting from the amount of such bills the sum of 32d'. ss. already received by the said W. A. Long on a proof made by him in respect of such bills under a fiat against D. E. and A. Acraman. His HONOUR, in giving judgment, observed that after some preliminary investigation on the subject of the consideration for which the bills in question were given, which ended in the satisfactory establishment of the fact that the present claimants are the holders of them, for valuable consideration, to the amount for which they were drawn, the proof was opposed by the assignees of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., on two grounds; first, that the 'endorsement was made under circumstances which rendered it not binding on Acre mans, Morgan, and Co.; and, secondly, that it was at all events incompetent to the claimants now to prove against Acramans, Morgan, and Co., having already proved and received a dividend on the same bills, as against D. E. and A. Acraman, this being a case, as was contended, in which the law did not allow of doable proof. The facts of the case, shortly stated, are these—At a period prior to the endorsement of these hills, viz., in May, 1841, the firm of D. E. and A. Acraman, consisted of the three Acramans, viz., Daniel Acraman, W. E. Acraman, and A J. Acre man ; that of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., of the same three Acramans, together with two other partners, viz., Mr. Morgan, and Mr. T. Holroyd ; the trade of the former firm being that of merchants, the latter that of shipbuilders and engineers. Two of the Acramans, viz., William E. Acraman and A. J. Acraman, were also at the same period partners, with other persons, in a 'firm of Acramans, Bush, Castles, and Co. .(described in the evidence as the " tea concern"), and one of the partners in the firm last mentioned was William A. Long, the younger, son of the now claimant, William Alexander Long ; but by agreement between him, his father, and his uncle, Samuel Long. the testator of the other claim ants, it was on behalf of the father and uncle, and at their risk only, that he became partner, and he was to account to them for the profits. In this tea concern none of the partners of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., except the two Acramans before mentioned, had any interest. At the date above mentioned of May, 1841, Acramans, Morgan, and Co., being in want of money to carry on their business, Mr. Holroyd and Mr. W. E. Acranaan together applied to Coils, Thompson, and Co., bill-brokers, to raise money for the purpose, whioh was accordingly done by procuring the dis count of certain hills to the amount of 20,000/., drawn by Mr. Holroyd in his sole name on D. E. and A. Acraman, and accepted by that firm, and the money so raised was paid over to the credit of Acra mans, Morgan, and Co., to their bankers, and applied by that house to their own purposes. The bills so dis counted became due at dill-rent periods from the 30th of August to the 4th of October following; but circum stances having occurred which led Mr. W. E. Acraman to think it desirable to retire them before they became due, D. E. and A. Acraman borrowed money for that purpose from the house of Hulbert, Layton, and Co., and retired the bills accordingly, and afterwards, on the 10th of August, 1841 (without the privity, as it appears to me, upon the evidence of any member of the firm of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., not being a member of the firm of D. E. and A. Acraman), Mr. W. E. Acraman applied towards the repayment of Hulbert, Layton, and Co , a sum of 8,700/., then in his hands, and for which he was accountable to Long, jun., as part of the share of the latt ar in the capital and profits of the tea concern, the same being then in course of wihding up under the management of W. E. Acraman. According to the evidence of W. E. Acraman, the loan of this sum of 8,700/. had previ• ' ously been solicited and obtained by him on behalf of D. E. and A. Acraman from Long, jun., such loan being obtained by D. E. and A. Acraman for the purpose of retiring the bills for 20,000/. above-men tioned; but, according to the evidence of Long, jun., no loan to that extent had at that time been assented to on his part ; and it is probable some misapprehen sion may have occurred between them as to the ex tent to which a loan had been agreed to. His Honour then recited the circumstance of an interview which took place between Long, jun., and Mr.W.E. Acraman, in which the latter ultimately proposed that Long, jun., should draw the two bills in question on D. E. and A. Acraman, it being stated by Mr. W. E. Acraman, at the same time, that he had authority to use their endorsement. This proposal was accepted. He (the Sergeant) found that a Mr. Franklyn had joined the firm of Acramans, Morgan, and Co. on the 11th of August, 1841, being the day after the appli cation of Long, jun.'s, money to the purpose of re tiring the bills for 20,000/ ; and, as one of the points in opposition to the proof, it has been argued by the assignees that, at all events, there can be no right of proof as against Mr. Franklyn, nor, consequently, against the joint estate of the firm of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., to which he belonged ; for that, though the endorsement took place after he became a partner, yet the raising of the 20,0001. and the retiring of the bills on which it was raised occurred while he was a stranger to the concerns of that firm. In answer to this objection the claimants relied on the fact, that the agreement under which he joined (and which is in evidence before me) contained a stipula tion that all the transactions of the partnership since the original establishment shall, for all purposes, be participated in by the new partners ; and I incline to think that answer sufficient. But the judgment I am about to give on the case at large will supersede the necessity of any decision on this collateral point. His Honour having detailed some other facts connected with the drawing of these bills, continued, —The argument of the assignee is, that the debt in respect of which the bills in question were given was a debt due from W. ReAcraman to Long, jun., on an account unconnected with the firm of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., viz., the winding up of the ted'ccin cern, and that the case therefore is governed by a clais of decisions (of which ex parte Goulding, 2 Glyn and Jam., page 118, may be selected as a good ex ample) which have established that where one partner gives the acceptance or endorsement of his firm in payment of bis separate debt, without authority in fact from his copartners, such acceptance or endorse ment does not render the firm liable to the person who takes the bill with knowledge that it has been drawn and endorsed on account of his separate debt. This argument on the part of the assignees is entitl e d, in my opinion, to prevail. The bills in this ease, with the endorsement in the names of Acramans, Morgan, and Co., were unquestionably given by W. Pa. Acra man, as Long. jun., well knew, in payment of or by way of security for hi s ( W. E. Acratnan s) separate DISPUTED LIFE POLICIES. " A trial of considerable Interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. Ihe chief evidence turne i upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by whlch absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protecting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grentint • f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present ease two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim. and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Timea, July 11, 1850.

THE PLATE ROBBERY CASE. --- LIVEBPOOL, THURSDAY.—It will be remembered that the prisoner Sirrell was remanded by the county magistrates on Tuesday in order that he might be brought up before Mr. Rushton, the stipendiary ma gistrate, on a charge of receiving some plate, sup posed to have been transmitted by M'Guire, the pro duce of a robbery at the house of Mrs. Tinley, No. 4, reel -street, Liverpool. The prisoners Sirrell and M'Guire were accordingly placed in the dock at the Borough Court at ten o'clock this morning. It was, however, understood that the case would not be gone into, owing to a deficiency in the evidence. Mr. Lewis was again in attendance on behalf of Sirrell, but M'Guire had not the advantage of the presence of his legal adviser, Mr. Simon. Mr. Dowling, the chief officer of police, conducted the prosecution. The magistrates on the bench were Mr. Rushton, Mr. R. E. Harvey, Mr. T. H. Smith, and Mr. C. Turner. Mr. Rushton on entering the court immediately ordered that the prisoners should be brought up. The prisoner M'Guire, w ho is a young, fresh coloured man, then stepped forward to the front of the dock, but Sirrell, who appeared less unconcerned than at the recent examination before the county ma gistrates, retired to the back and sat down during the brief conference which ensued. Mr. Rushton (to Mr. Dowling)—These prisoners have, I understand, been remanded to enable me to investigate an additional case to those already gone into before the county magistrates —a case of robbery within the borough ? Mr. Dowling—They have. Mr. Rushton—And I understand the evidence to be this—that certain plate was stolen within the bo rough of Liverpool, transmitted by railroad in a tin canister, the tin canister having at the top a label running thus :—" Martin M'Guire, 32, School-lane." This was found in possession of the prisoner Sirrell by the London officers, Inspector Lund and Ser geant Whitcher, and the Liverpool officer Keogh. Now, have you any proof of M'Guire's handwriting? Mr. Dowling—l have no proof of the handwriting. I had better at once state that as a fact; and it would he folly going into the case, as it would waste the time of the Court to no purpose. Mr: Rushton—Then the prisoner Sirrell is trans mitted back to the county jurisdiction to await the decision of the county magistrates. OFFICIAL REPORT OF TRH DAMAGES.
