I MARLBOROUGH-STRE4T. Ellen Vesey was brought before Mr. • Hardwick charged with having stolen a large quantity of boots and shoes from the shop of Mr. Frederick 13uhle, shoemaker, Burlington-arcade- It appeared that the prisoner had been employed for the last four months as chaiwoinan 'at the .house in Burlington-arcade. • In consequence of information received.by the police an inquiry was set on foot, and the 'result was the discovery of several pairs of boots which.had been pledged by a woman answering the description of the prisoner. Police-sergeant Gray and Police-constable Mile, C 123, were em ployed in the affair, and they succeeded in procuring such evidence as left no doubt of the prisoner's guilt. Six pairs of boots and six pairs of shoes were found in the hands of various pawnbrokers. A great deal more property was missed. In defence, the prisoner said the boots and shoes had been given to her to pawn by Mr. Buhle's'shop woman, as Mr. Buhle, according to the shopwOman's story, left h er short oimoney. This was denied, and the prisoner was fulli com mitted.

The statute required the summons should be served personally, or on some in mate at his usual place of abode. This phrase was the same as in the Excise Act, upon which there had been decisions. Where a person slept usually was his usual place of abode. As he had not been at the house for a fortnight and had never slept there, it could not be assumed that he had had the summons, or that it was now his place of abode. Sir P.

Owing to the great derangement of mercantile affairs which pr ails at the present time, the Board of Management of the ,OVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION, in their earnest desire to eat their fellow Clerks by every means in their power, deem the g o sent a most fitting opportunity to remind them of the existence of la Association. It has now been established for nearly seven years, and, from the pliar privileges and advantages it possesses, it is calculated to gote the comfort and to relieve the mind of that Clerk who, In em me of prosperity, shall have had the foresight to become a vi the neMbe ft r, and have thereby made some provision fur the contingencies uure. It is with the utmost satisfaction that the Board of Management Ma c , unce that the Association exhibits a continued progressive im- Pr°vetnent in the number of its members, and that the Life Assur 'rice Department is now established beyond doubt on a safe and per illattent footing. In issuing this sh o rt address, the Board strongly invi:o Clerks to insider the principles of the Association, and they feel that they Zpnot express themselves more effectively than in giving an extract speech delivered by the Right lion the Earl of Dalhousie, on ` occasion of his Lordship presiding at their anniversary dinner, in ;19, - 1846 and which has particular reference to the advantages of 'le Assurance, viz.:— the Society has this recommendation, that there are none f t :Oft Means are so small but that they may obtain advantage from •. r„.„_ 11. 0 man is so poor, no clerk so humble, but may join in order to 11",ide for the wants of the fature by contributing towards its Z, , which will be fostered and cherished, and paid to the 7utter farthing.

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) _ IN RE WILLIAM THORNE. This bankrupt, who was a draper, of Crawley street, St. Pancras, came up to pass his last examina tion, with debts to the extent of 1,289/., and assets stated at about 2901., having commenced business with a capital of 300/., and while his expenses in two years, over which period the balance. sheet extended, amounted to 923/. 25., his profits amounted to only 711. is. Bd. Upon the part of the assignees, the accuracy of the bankrupt's balance-sheet was not questioned, but an adjournment was prayed for, in order that he should give an accaunt of the disposition of his furniture, which had been taken by a " cousin." His HONOUR adjourned the case until the 4th of January next. The bankrupt's aunt sought to prove for 2501., Which was ordered to stand over for inqniry. Case adjourned accordingly. IN RE PETIT AND NEWTON. These bankrupts were navy agents, and applied to pass their last examination, which was adjourned, in order that they should e a cash account. Their debts are about 4,0001., and assets 2,060/. ; expenses, 2,500/.; profits, 3,0001. Adjourned accordingly. , IN RE HILL AND MONKHOUSE. These bankrupts were wharfingers, and W. C. Monkhouse was summoned, and to-day was examined touching the disposal of a house full of furniture, &c. It appeared that Monkhouse resided with his wife and son, at a well-furnished house, in Corrie-place, Old Kent-road, but the property was claimed by the son. The assignees, however, ordered that the pro perty should be sold, feeling satisfied that it belonged to the bankrupt in question. The messenger, named Atkinson, a feeble old man, had placed two assist ants in possession of the property ; but when the day of sale arrived all the goods and property were non est inventus, with the exception of about 101. worth, which had been pawned. The bankrupt now denied any knowledge of the matter, and added that his wife had pledged them, with the authority of his son. summons had been issued against the son to at tend to-day, but not doing so, a warrant for com mitment was prayed for. His HONOUR, declined to grant the application, but issued a second summons for hi s a tt en d ance on Tues day next. The messenger was told that he was responsible for any loss, and must make it good. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT and Mr. Justice WILLIAms.) On Saturday George Hayward, 19, clerk, was indicted for feloniously forging awl uttering an order for the payment of 89/ 4i., with intent to defraud Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co. . _ _ Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Parnell prosecuted. The pri soner was defended by Mr. C. Evans. It appeared from the evidence that on the 22d of March, a cheque for 89/. 45., purporting to be signed by Mr. Murray, one of the customers of the bank, was presented, and no suspicion being entertained that it was a forgery, the cheque was paid with a 501. note and cash. On the 20th of March before this transac tion, an order was sent to the bank, apparently signed by a gentleman named Peel, who kept an account there, for a new cheque-book, and one was accord ingly sent back by the messenger who brought the order, and it appeared that the forged cheque had been taken from this book so obtained. In order to connect the prisoner with the transaction, it was shown that he had fot merly been in the service of a solicitor, named Patterson, who had been a partner with Mr. Peel, and thus had an opportunity of seeing that gentleman's signature to deeds and other docu ments, and it appeared that the imitation of his signature to the order for the cheque-book was so excellent that some of the bank clerks said that, if they were not aware of the forgery, they should still believe it to be his writing. It appeared that the 501. note was changed at the Bank of England for gold on the same day it was obtained from the bankers', and although the prisoner was not identified as the person who so changed it, it was proved that the fictitious address at the back of it, Henry Simmons, 13, Belvidere street, Lambeth, was his handwriting, and Mr. Pat terson, his late employer, also swore that, to the best of his belief, the forged cheque was in the prisoner's handwriting. It was likewise shown that, about the period of the forgery, the prisoner was seen in pos session of a good deal of money, and also a cheque book, and that he told a young man, named Capes, with whom he had become acquainted at the Pavilion Theatre, that his grandfather had given him 200/.,1 and he talked of setting up in business as a cigar dealer. The prisoner and - Capes, it appeared, went to the Isle of Wight together, and had a week's frolic, during which time the prisoner spent 121. and his companion Si. of his own money. In answer to a question put by the Court, this witness also said, that in June he saw the prisoner in possession of as much as 70/., and at that time he had also a gold watch and a quantity of jewellery about his person, and he said to him, " Young fellow, you look very smart," and it was upon this occasion he said that his grandfather had given him 2004 The jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri soner Guilty of forging the instrument in question. He was then arraigned upon a second indictment, charging him with forgery and uttering an order for 140/., with intent to defraud Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, and Co., and William Alexander, 20, a genteelly dressed youth, was indicted as an accessory after the fact. In other counts the intent was said to be to defraud John Fenton. The same counsel were engaged to conduct the prosecution. - Mr. Evans again defended Hayward, and Mr. Met calf appeared for Alexander. Mr. BODKIN opened the case, as one connected with a most daring and ingenious system of fraud, by which the bankers had been very great sufferers, and he then proceeded to detail the circumstances under which the charge was preferred against the prisoners. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that Mr. Fenton is a wine merchant, carrying on business in Mark-lane, and in the early part of June he received a letter, addressed from Wormwood-street, and pur porting to be signed by a person named Charles Smith, making some inquiry of him respecting a vessel called the Henrietta, with which he was supposed to have some connexion, and requesting an answer to be sent to the address speci fied. It appeared that this letter was merely an ingenious artifice to get possession of his signature, and Mr. Fenton being thrown off his guard, and of course not having the slightest suspicion that any fraud was intended, sent an answer, which he signed in his usual manner, and it appeared that the prisoner llayward, who represented himself to be Charles S .nith, called for an I obtained possession of this answer. Very soon afterwards an order, as in the former case, was sent to the bankers with a cheque-book; and on the same day the forged cheque in question was brought to the bank, and so exactly was Mr. Fenton's signature imitated, that although it a a Ec nip allyndp g e .l a iat r !d e l dci was ea t nc h sot e teeads a c cttotoaerninddttlinhornoelrydot. forty paid a o l I n odr e : o ibr f ye i t tg h t n‘ e tvsoo clerks .bseTo,ih,. a lß , le ca Bank nie e giqc s hu p te e 4 book that had been obtained by means of the forged order was afterwards found by a police-constable, in the carriage-way in Crispin-street, Spitalfields, and upon its being examined, nearly every leaf was found to have the name of John Fenton written upon it, as though a person had been practising to imitate the signature, and upon the lodging of the prisoner Hay ward being subsequently searched by Daniel For rester, the officer, he found some blotting paper with the name of John Fenton blotted upon it. In addition to this very strong evidence against the prisoner Hay ward, it was shown that about the time in question he was in possession of a great deal of money, and that he induced a person named Rowley to take a fifty pound note to the post-office at Charing-cross, and endeavour to get change for it by purchasing a pound's worth of postage-stamps ; but it appeared the clerk refused to take it, and Rowley then returned it to the prisoner. With regard to the other prisoner, Alex ander, it was proved in evidence that lie was the con stant companion of Hayward, and it was shown that after this transaction at the post-office, he went to a The witness Capes was re-called, and he said that about the month of June, he saw the prisoner fre quently in company with other young " gents," at the Pavilion Theatre, an d upon one o ccasion he asked them if they had seen Forrester, the officer, looking about, and Hayward shortly afterwards told him that he had got into a mess, and did not know how he should get out of it, and he at the same time told him that if ever he was asked whether he had seen him with a gold watch and a large sum of money, he was to be sure to say he had never seen him with more than a few shillings. He asked him what the mess was that he hai got into; and he replied that . he would rather he should have asked him for 51., and as they sepa rated, Hayward said to him, "Be sure and don't say a word, or else I shall be lost for ever." • In cross-examination, the witness said that it was he who gave the information to .Messrs. .Bush and Mullens, the solicitors t o th e B an k e rg'..Association, which led to the apprehension of the prisoners, and he admitted that he put questions to the prisoners pur posely to hear wh a t th ey would say. While he and Hayward were at the Isle of Wight they stayed at an hotel and amused themselves by riding about with a horse and chaise, and h e sa idlh a t H a yward also spent a good deal of money in.:buying. presents for his " young lady." He added, that be paid his share of the expenses. _ _ _ In answer to a question put by Mr. Baron PLATT, the witness said his suspicion was created by seeing the prisoner in possession of so much money, and a cheque-book; but he said he kept quiet, in order to " find out more " There was a reward offered before he gave any information to the solicitors, but the re ward did not apply to this transaction, but to a forgery that had been committed in the country. The Learned COUNSEL for the prisoners addressed the jury on their behalf, and Mr. Metcalfe, for Alex ander, called the attention of the jury to the circum stance, that the only fact proved against him was the getting rid of the 501. tote, in which he said he might have acted quite innocently at the instigation of the other prisoner. Witnesses were then called who gave Alexander a a very good character for honesty, and one of his former employers expressed his readiness to take him again into his service, if he should be acquitted on the present occasion. _ _ Mr. Baron PLiTT having addressed the jury, they retire 1, and after deliberating for some time, returned a verdict of Guilty against Hayward, and Acquitted the other prisoner. The Learned JUDGE then addressed Hayward, and after remarking upon the aggravated character of his offence, and the art and cunning with which it had been consummated, sentenced him to be transported for life. NEW COURT. Charles Matthews was indicted for stealing nine bagatelle balls, the property of J. Whitely. It turned out that the prisoner is one of those who plunder publicans, he having been twice before con victed for a like offence. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years' banishment. Henry John Ball was indicted for embezzling and stealing 3/. 19s , the property of Mr. Skinner, his master. He was also charged with obtaining, by false pretences, five yards of kersey, with intent to defraud J. Vickery Broughton. He was sentended to six months' labour at the tread mill. Charles Douglas was indicted for stealing 225., a sovereign, and two brushes, the property of J. Brown. The prosecutor had been in company with the pri soner. Among the silver were several half-crown pieces. It was proved that on the day of the robbery, the prisoner bought a coat, and paid in that kind of coin. The jury consulted for some time, and then re turned a verdict of Guilty. Evidence was then given that the prisoner had been convicted of felony in 1843, and that he had been for years an associate of thieves. The COURT sentenced him to be transported for seven years. Jam - es Skyrankie was indicted for stealing six sove reigns, the property of Samuel Prosser. The prosecutor stated that he had lately returned from a cruise, and took up his abode at a house for sailors, situate in Shadwell, where the prisoner was also an inmate. When witness went to bed on the night in question, his " blunt was in the pocket of his vest, but when he awoke, he found that and the pri• soner were gone. It appeared that on the day after the robbery the prisoner bought new " rigging," and when appre hended he made a proposal, and tried to effect a compromise. . _ The Learned JUDGE summed up; and The jury found him Guilty. The prisoner stood b ac k some time, to await the judgment of the Court. The sentence was, trans portation for seven years. Thomas M' Carly and Mary Doherty were indicted for feloniously taking and receiving from James Patrick Nagle a sovereign, under pretence of helping him to a watch of 401., which had been recently stolen from him. Mr. PRENDERGAST stated the case for the prosecu tion at considerable length. He said this was a pe culiar case, and required the attention of the jury. He read a recent Act of Parliament, which makes such conduct a felony. Mr. Nagle had been robbed of a watch, and he met the male prisoner, when he said he knew the thief, and could apprehend him. He also knew the Jew to whom the watch was sold. In consequence of this representation he gave the pri soner a sovereign. Previous to this M‘Carty bad been given into custody, but discharged, as no proof was adduced against him to warrant a detention. Mr. Nagle deposed that in the latter part of July he went with some friends to a house in Compton street, and while there he lost his watch. Before that time, the prisoner came in, with two men and two women. M'Carty was given into custody for the theft, but discharged by the magistrate for want of evidence. When liberated, the prisoner said "Now I can tell you something you don't know." He said he knew the thief, and could apprehend himn. He knew also the manner in which the watch was disposed of. The female prisoner was introduced, and she made the like and other observations, which turned out to be false. Mr. O'BRIEN cross-examined the witnesses, when it appeared that on the night of the robbery he had been on a nocturnal stroll, with his friends, to see a little of life in London. Other witnesses were called, who confirmed Mr. Nagle as to the prisoner's representations. The jury found both prisoners Guilty. The COURT sentenced them to seven years' trans portation. Janet Irish, 33, was indicted for unlawfully con cealing the birth of a male child. The occupants of the house in which the prisoner lived stated that they were annoyed by an intolerable stench at times, for which no one could account until a box was ope'ned, in which was found the decomposed remains of an infant, which must have been there for a long time, it was supposed three years. When ques tioned, the prisoner said, " I put it there," alleging that she had not the means to bury it. The jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. THIRD COURT. Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, Sir C. MAR- SHALL, &C.) A fashionably-dressed person, named Catherine Herrion, was indicted for stealing, at Greenwich, a pair of fancy bellows, a china candlestick, and a watch guard, the property of Mr. P. Kreckner. The wife of the prosecutor deposed that on the 4th instant the prisoner came to her husband's shop, in London-street, Greenwich, where all sorts of fancy toys, perfumery, &c., are on sale, and she bought a toilet-bottle, and paid 2s. 61. for it. After she left witness received some information which induced her to snake a search, when she missed the articles named in the indictment. Her husband found them depo sited at a house in the neighbouring court. Cross-examined by the prisoner—l did not tell you that you might take anything you liked. I did not tell you to do so because I was sure the money was sure at any time. You did not say anything about having more money in your pocket, but that you wanted it for another purpose. Caroline King deposed that she lived in Busby court, Greenwich. On the day named the prisoner came to her house, and asked permission to leav e a basket in her care for a short time. The articles now produced were found therein by the prosecutor, as well as others. Henry Borns, who apprehended the prisoner, stated that she defied having anything but what she had paid for. S he denied taking the articles with a felo nious inten 4 L. She said that, while at the pro3ecutor's shop, one of the serving damsels allowed her to send for some . porter. She persisted that Mrs. K. told her she iroght take anything she liked, and pay on a The prisoners were lodgers in the same house at the time, and appeared respectable. On Sunday, the sth of September instant, the witness was absent from his apartments for a short time, but he left his money safely locked up in his trunk in the bed-room. On his return he found the trunk had been opened and the money gone. It consisted of 121. 10s. in gold, and 10s. 4d. in silver. One of the stolen shil lings had a hole in it, by which he knew it again, so as to be able to swear to it without the least hesita tion. He informed Mrs. Gale immediately of the robbery. As no one had been there during his ab sence, suspicion fell upon the prisoners, and they were forthwith given in charge. When the box in their room was searched the exact amount and of the same denomination of coin was found that he had lost, viz., twelve and a half sovereigns, ten shillings, and a silver groat, and among it was th e shilling with the hold in it. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, considering the case a very clear one, left the jury only to say whether the female prisoner might not have been influenced by her husband, besides, there was no proof which of them committed the robbery. The jury consulted a short time, and then returned a verdict of Guilty against the man, and acquitted his wife. The prisoners were again jointly and severally in dicted for stealing, on the 18th of August, at St. Saviour's, Southwark, Si. in money, the property of Mary Ann Wares their late landlady. The jury returned the same verdict as in the last case, and the woman was discharged. The male prisoner was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Joseph Jackson, aged 22, was indicted for stealing a flitch of bacon (381b5.) the property of Edmund Rolandson. A police constable saw the prisoner in Rosemary lane with the flitch, and imagining all was not right, he questioned him, and his account as to possession being unsatisfactory, he took him into custody, and by inquiry found out the owner.; The foreman to the prosecutor stated that he had examined the stock, and found one flitch missing. Verdict—Guilty. The Court sentenced him to be transported for seven years. SURREY SPECIAL SESSIONS. On Saturday Messrs. Wardell, Brown, and Fowler, lessees of Vauxhall-gardens, were summoned for allowing to be used in the gardens a certain descrip tion of earthenwere jugs, known as " brown stout jugs," unstamped. They were termed, and used, as quarts and pints. In answer to the Bench, Mr. Wade, the inspector, stated that the defendants were not present; but Mr. Stevens had called, and had requested him (Mr. W.) to assure the magistrate that the proprietors of the " Royal property" were perfectly unconscious of having acted contrary to the law in permitting the jugs to be used in the gardens. They could not deny that they had been found on the premises as stated, but they were never employed as measuring jugs; and it was rather the desire of the lessees to give their patrons a liberal supply of refreshments for the fixed charges than otherwise. The CHAIRMAN inquired the extent of the defi ciencies of the pots. They were produced, and tested in the usual way by the inspector, who thus detailed their illegal state : —1 quart, 4 oz. short; another quart, 31 oz. short; two others, 3 oz. each; two pints, 1 oz. and 1 oz. deficient. In all, there were 11 jugs seized. The inspector said, Mr. Stevens had left with him a " bill of fare, " to show that quarts and pints were unknown to Vauxhall Gardens. There were " jugs of stout, 1s.;" but no mention was made of them as the legal measure. The jugs (continued Mr. W.) are precisely the same description as those he had seized at the booths in Battersea-fields. He had seized upwards of fifty of them at that resort, and at Wandsworth the magistrate had fined the offenders 51. each. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Johnson), and the other ma gistrates on the bench, expressed considerable surprise that such pots should have been allowed to be so freely used in so respectable a place of entertainment as Vauxhall Gardens. The cases were proved against the defendants, and he should therefore direct a pe nalty of ss. to be levied in each instance were a jug had been used, and the costs. The fine and expenses altogether amounted to up wards of 3/. The jugs, of course, were condemned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. The Commissioners of Sewers, by Mr. Tyrrell, brought two cases of dangerous nuisance, within the scope of the Act for preventing the spread of conta geous diseases, under the notice of Sir Peter Laurie and Mr. Alderman Johnson. Mr. Haynes, of Belgrave-place, was summoned in respect to four houses in Swan-lane, Thames-street. One of the tenants appeared on behalf of the land lord, to state that he was quite willing to remedy the evil, by opening a communication from the privies to the sewer; the experiment had been•tried at one of the houses with the result, that at high water the Thames flowed up the sewers through the privy and into the cellar, till the depth of the water was some times three feet. This annoyance must be removed by the Commissioners before they could expect a communication to be opened to the other houses. The nuisance had been abated by removing the soil. Sir PETER LAURIE said this was a subject his brother magistrate understood better than himself. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON observed that the evil complained of could be remedied by placing a trap at the mouth of the sewer. The Commissioners would readily do this. If a petition were presented to the Commissioners of Sewers, at their weekly meeting, on Tuesday, the surveyor would be directed to inspect and report, and then a trap would be ordered to be fitted to the mouth of the sewer. The Commissioners were ready to afford any facilities to abate such nuisances. An order was made for the abatement of the nui sance, to be suspended till the parties could petition the Court of Commissioners. Mrs. Webb, of Park-place, Islington, was sum moned in respect to a nuisance in Windsor-street, Bishopsgate-street. A gentleman, who appeared on her behalf, said he was ready to amend the matter complained of. She bad expended 101. in opening a communication to the common sewer, but it was now discovered that the opening was made at a point seven feet above the bottom of the cesspool ; and the • matters which had in the course of years accumulated in this place emitted an odour very offensive, which could not be got rid of; but this would now be remedied by making an opening from the level of the bottom of the cesspool. An order was made to enforce compliance if there should be any disposition to evade the prompt appli cation of the proper remedy. Mr. John Marriner, the secretary of the North Wales Railway, was again summoned before Alder man Sir Peter Laurie and Mr. Alderman Johnson, for failing to permit Mr. Archer, a shareholder, to inspect the company's books within one month after a general meeting holden on the 27th tilt. Mr. Shaw appeared for the complainant. The defendant did not appear, and Mr. Shaw there ' fore proceeded to show that he had been duly.sum moned, in order that he might obtain a decision in the absence of the accused. The penalty for the offence is a fine of 51., or any less sum in the discre tion of the magistrates. Roe, the City officer, proved the service of the summons at No. 14, Beaufort-street, Chelsea, and also at No. 26, Smith-street, Chelsea. Mrs. Jenkins, of Beaufort-street, produced the summons which had been left with her, and also a notice to produce any of the company's books which show how, and to whom, and for what purpose the moneys of the company have been disposed of, and what securities were held for the same ; and also the books which had been exhibited to Mr. Archer. She had not been able to deliver either paper to Mr. Marriner, nor any of his family. He had never slept in her house. M rs. Marriner hired a furnished lodging on the 10th of September, slept there with her daughters one night, and then left, saying she was going to the sea-side, and should return in a fortnight or a few days longer, and if anything came for them witness was to take care of it till they re turned or wrote. The summons was brought on Thursday last, and she did not know where to for-. ' ward it to Mr. or Mrs. Marriner. Mr. Martin, from the city Solicitor's Ace ; who Mr. Chadwick expressed his readiness to do so. The fact was, the complaint was groundless. The secretary being unwell, asked leave to go out of town, and the directors granted it on condition that he pro vided a substitute. lie did so, and the young man was here to prove that he had the care of the books at the office, that the complainant had seen them, and that they were open to the inspection of the shareholders as required by law. Sir PETER LAURIE said nothing could be fairer than this. Mr. Shaw said, however fair it might seem, it was but a cloak to unfairness. They wanted particular books which the law required to be kept, and it was of no use to show them New Testaments or any other books they did not want. The shareholders had a' right to know where the funds- of the com pany were lodged. A sum of 20,0001. had been paid away in cheques made out in favour of anonymous parties, in sums from 1,0001. to 8,000/., and he had a right to see the books, which contained the entries as to whom these parties were. If he were shown in whose hands these sums were he should be satisfied, and he demanded that information now. Sir PETER LAURIE said the magistrates could only enforce the production of the books, and could not permit any discussion of their contents, or of the general affairs of the company. The magistrates had no right to inspect them. It was the privilege only of the shareholders. Mr. Shaw thought the magistrates had some juris diction in respect to the contents. The law required certain particulars to be entered in books, and if books without those particulars, or blank books were pro duced, could not the magistrate assume the law was not complied with, and the production of the book refused? Mr. Chadwick said he had only recently been elected chairman, and upon looking into the concern, he came to the conclusion that it was inexpedient to pursue it. It was a scheme for a line in connexion with the Holyhead line, and as the trunk was at a discount, what could be hoped for as to the branches? If the directors called up 101. per share, they would immediately fall to a discount in the market. The Holyhead shares were at 15 discount. With the assent of a meeting of the shareholders, they reduced the number of directors, and their general expenses, and determined to advertise to loan their balance of capital, after defraying preliminary expenses, at five per cent., on the best security that could be obtained, subject to be recalled at a month's notice. With this condition no railway would borrow it, but borrowers were found. Mr. Archer, the projector of the line, and some other landowners, the value of whose pro perty would be materially improved by the making of the railway, and who wished to see the line commenced, made an application to know to whom the money had been lent. The borrowers would rather return the money than that their names should be disclosed, and the directors decided that they would' refuse the information, and they were ex pressly sustained in that course by the majority at the next meeting of shareholders. The shareholders placed confidence in the discretion of the directors, and thought no disclosure' Which might damage the credit of the borrowers ought to be made. He re garded it as a sort of bubble company, and, thought the sooner the shareholders all got the residue of their money in their pockets the better. The - -money was, therefore, about to be recalled, and in about a month the shareholders would be assembled to dis solve and divide the capital.' He hoped that would be satisfactory to Mr. Archer. Mr. Archer replied, by no means. He doubted if there would be anything to divide, and he insisted. on his right to know now to whom the money was lent. Mr. Chadwick repeated that the borrowers would rather return the money at once than have their names published to the world. Fifty shareholders were present at the meeting which assented to Eecresy being observed. Mr. Shaw denied that the majority could tyrannise over the minority in this way. 'The majority might agree to throw all the money in the Thames, but the minority had a right to know how it was disposed of. If the directors had lent the money, they were bound to enter the fact in the books open to the inspection of the shareholders. Suppose the directors had .all been blown up in the Cricket, having confined the knowledge of these loans to their own breasts, what would have become of the shareholders? Sir P. LAURIE thought Mr. Chadwick's statement was satisfactory. There would soon be a meeting and a return of assets. He was sorry he could not arrange between them as man and man. As a ma gistrate he was powerless, and therefore must dismiss the matter. Mr. Archer intimated that as soon as he could serve Mr. Marriner personally he would summon him again. The law gave six months to complain, and he should call every day to demand a sight of the book. Here the matter dropped. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE Mr. Loader, a cabinet maker, on Moorfields-pave ment, was summoned before Aldermen Hooper and Hughes for allowing a Newfoundland dog to be at large unmuzzled, to the great danger of her Majesty's subjects. _ _ By the testimony of a City police-constable, it ap peared that the dog, from some offence or other, has considerable antipathy to the police-officers on duty in the neighbourhood. No sooner do they pass the door of the proprietor's residence than out bolts the beast and makes vigorous efforts to grab at their legs. Defendant denied it. The dog was a quiet, harm less, inoffensive creature if not teased. Officer—He is quarrelsome to everybody, your worship. Defendant—ls he, though ? I'll settle that, your worship.—(Defendant here gave a loud whistle, and in rushed a large noble looking brute, who, ap parently conscious of what was going on, dodged around the legs of every one in court, and was on the best of terms with all, even the stern justices on the bench.) There now, your worship, here's the beast. He has been in the Guildhall all the morning, and seen plenty of policemen ; but I am sure he has not touched one of them. Mr. Alderman HUGHES said the dog had some antipathy to the officers of the peace, and he should recommend it to be muzzled for their safety. Defendant answered that he would do so, and paying the cost of the summons, departed with the dog. CLERKENWELL. Mr. _Henry Mitchell, proprietor Of the Rose and Crown public-house, in Allen-street, Clerkenwell, was summoned for having his house open for the sale of exciseable liquors on Sunday, the 19th, during the hours of divine service. Inspector Penny stated, that 013 the day named, at the hour of twelve at noon, he saw a boy, about 14 years of age, come out of defendant's house. He approached him, and while he was descending the steps leading to the street, witness laid hold of him and asked him what he had got, when he produced from his pocket a bottle, containing half a pint of gin. Mr. Duncotnbe—Will you swear it was not eye water?—(A laugh.) Witness—No, but I would rather swear that it was gin. Mr. Duncombe—How do you know that it was gin ; did you taste it ? Witness—l did not. He told me that the bottle contained gin. Mr. Duncombe—Did you not seize him violently, and take it out of his pocket? Witness—l did not. He pulled it out of his pocket ; but I should have done so had he not. Mr. Duncombe—lndeed ! Are you not aware that the lad, who is only about ten years of age, is the defendant's son ? Witness—l have since under stood that to be the case. _ Mr. Duncombe—Was he not terribly alarmed when you caught hold of him, and did he not cry ? Witness—Why, as to that, he tried to cry. Mr. Duncombe—l am informed that you went into my client's house afterwards. Inform the Court what you saw. The witness admitted that everything was quiet and orderly, and that he had no further evidence to give. Mr. Duncombe then addressed the magistrate. He said, of all the most extraordinary cases he had ever heard, or been concerned in, the present beat all ; and if such a state of things were permitted every individual coming out of a public-house would in the end be seized and searched. He had a very high respect for his friend, the inspector ; but in this case he had no hesitation in saying he had exceeded his duty. The worthy gentleman proceeded to urge that , there was not a tittle of evidence to support the Edwin Howell, a person of very respectable ex terior, was charged with having illegally pawned an immense gnantity of stays, entrusted to him to sell. Mr. Alexander Vlies, of Elberfeldt, stated that he was a stay merchant. Being in want of an agent to dispose of his stays in Eng!and, he was introduced to the prisoner, and having entered into an arrange ment with the prison er as to t erms, the prisonerre• ceiNied charge of 252 pairs of stays to dispose of. This transaction occurred at the end of last year. Complainant being desirous of visiting Germany, asked the prisoner to l e t hi m hi ve 201. Th e defend ant said he had not so much money by him just then, but if complainant would meet him in the neighbour.. hood of Leicester-square the following day he would let him have the money. Complainant kept the ap pointment, and received 20/. from the prisoner, with which sum he shortly afterwards went to Germany. He came to England a few months ago, and having discovered that some of his stays were selling at different shops, he made inquiry, and he subsequently received from the prisoner a card, which made him acquainted with the fact of the prisoner having de po.itol 220 pairs of stays with Mr. Fleming, pawn broke& of John street, for a sum of money, on con dition that they should be forfeited if the money lent was not returned within six months. The money had not been returned, consequently the stays had become forfeited, and this accounted for the way in which they had got into sundry shopkeepers' hands. As the defendant had only received authority to sell, and not to pawn the things, he was given into cus tody to answer a charge of illegally pawning. For the prisoner it was contended that the charge could not be sustained. The prisoner had pledged the goods for a certain sum; but then the owner of the stays had received this sum. Had the prisoner sold the goods and pocketed the proceeds, he could not have been sued for the debt. Mr. HARDWICK looked over the various Acts re lating to illegal pawning, and being of opinion that the point was one which required consideration, post poned his decision until next week. It is already known that three notorious thieves contrived to make their escape from the lock up cell attached to this court the week before last, immediately on their being fully com mitted for trial two daring shop robberies. The police have been active in their researches, but hitherto without success. Some of the par ticulars connected with the escape have transpired, from which it would appear that the whole affair, as planned and executed, affords another instance of the adroitness and ingenuity of London thieves. It turns out that the escape was a planned matter between the prisoners and their con federates. Between the first examination and the last the companions of the prisoners, it is reported, contrived to get models of the locks in the cells, and to provide skeleton kegs to open them. This proceeding was communicated to the prisoners by one of the confederates, who obtained permission to speak to the prisoners in gaol, before the last_ exa mination took place. One of the turnkeys saw the prisoner and this man talking to each other with their fingers. AS this kind of silent communication went on for some time the turnkey interfered, and turned the man out of the prison. It was during this inter view that the plan of escape was, no doubt, arranged. *As soon as the prisoners were committed and placed in the cell, one of the gang must have made bis way through the house undiscovered—no very difficult matter, as the stairs to the cells are common to the inmates of the house, and must have then opened the cell and released the prisoners. All parties then got into the garden at the back of the court, and from thence over an adjoining wall into the passage which communicated with the mews behind by a door which is usually unfastened. POST-OFFICE GRI)ERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—Allow me in few words to call your atten tion, or the attention of the Post-office authorities, to the delay which exists in the country in obtaining payment for Post-office orders. I have myself; during the past week, in two instances, received Post office orders, when, on sending my clerk to obtain the money, the answer has been, " we have not yet ob tained advice ;" " advice is nut forwarded by first post." - Now, surely, Sir, in a co:nmercial country like this, an unnecessary delay, which subjects the public to such uncertainty, trouble, and expense, is far behind the age, and ought not to be tolerated one moment. It is a trouble and expense (and also vexa tious) for merchants or tradesmen thus to send their clerks out to be disappointed. The disappointment, sometimes, is by no means of a simple nature, but calculated to lead to confusion ; for when a clerk leaves a counting-house with an arranged list of pay ments and receipts, some of which include (or depend on) the Post-office orders, the non-payment of such orders affects the whole of his arrangements. The very idea of a post order being obtained, taken home, forwarded to the correspondent, received by him and presented for payment—all this before the master at the one office gives advice at the other office, is surely m onstrous. I can account for such a thing only by supposing that there is some necessity, or some policy, in so doing of which lam ignorant.—l am, Sir, T ycurs, D ALEII.

This letter is also transmitted to London, and will, no doubt, appear in your paper before payment. HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF A WIFE 13Y HER HUSBAND. (From the North British Mail of Friday.) Yesterday, a most revolting case of cruelty and barbarity, on the part of a husband towards his wife, a ca la m sg p o b w el . l, o F n r e o m f u t e was - dis s c ue rt r e s cl o b f y t I r poo r e o f r o g r e Campbell Geei.g r e e r ce a i y ve , d i , u h s e o w u 'e th nt s t t o . Mungo-street, and on exa minin g the p remi ses , he dis ftohremhaotui o s en of w which cmha man named d Fay's wife confined in a water - closet, where dis covered to her statement, she had been kept by her husband ever since May last. The dimensions of ihe closet were only 3 feet 10 inches by 2 feet 11 nches, and the height 10 feet. The pcor creature was in a most wretched condition, being li erally covered with filth and vermin, with scarcely an article of clothing on her person, and in a half-famished state. The inhuman monster was given into the custody of the police, as well as a girl named Margaret Hume, the servant, and two lodgers, named Alex ander flume and Alexander Holland, who are charged with being accomplices in the offence. Every care and attention was paid to the unfortunate woman by Mr. Campbell, and it is expected she will shortly recover from the effects of h er l ong and close con finement. The affair is undergoing official investi gation, but we have not as yet ascertained the cause which induced Fay to act in this way towards his wife, but we trust that all parties concerned will. meet with a punishment commensurate with such brutal conduct.
