COUNTY ELECTION POLLS BILL. On the motion being read for the second reading of this Bill, Sir G. GREY said he agreed in the principle of the Bill, and should consequently support it with hi* vote ; but he considpred that such a measure ought not to btu passed until the Quarter Sessions could revise the list of voters ; beside; if it was passed during the present ses sion, it would create much confusion. He, therefore, begged to suggest that the Hou. Gentleman who had brought forward the Bill should postpone it until a future occasion. Mr. FREWIN said ho harl wished to have carried the But through Parliament in the present session, in order that it might oFerate during the ensuing general election ; bot, after what had been stated by the Right Hon. Baronet, he sh,,uld withdraw the Bill. Bill withdrawn JEWS' ANI) Qi;AKEI►S' MARRIAGE BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. To be reported to-morrow. JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL. The Fl ,, use then went into Committee on this Bill. On the fird clans- being moved, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said he considered that the term of imprisonment proposed ought to be extented to six months, as originally proposed in Committee, but the Gonmittee altered it to three mouths. He ccmsidered that the alteration would have a salutary effect upon the often rrs. Sir GEORGE GREY said the proposed alteration hal much to do with the place of coi!finement. He ad mitted th ,t he was in favour of the extension of the term of itnpritotitnent provided that it was of a purely reforina tory character ; but, in the present coedition of the prisons, Eva! the lack of ample reformatory means, he E,equiesced in the revorninendation of th.• Committee, arid thought it would be well to postpone any alteration in the Bill in this respect until the great reformatory nae,sores recommended by the Committee on Criminal Law c , :ulti he carried out. Unquestionably juvenile offenders ought not to be exposed to the contamination of offenders of riper site and greater depravity; but, as there was no BM before the House at present for carry ing out a plan of improved di cipline as far as regarded juvenile offenders. he thought it would be well to adhere to the recoinmentlation of the Committee. The chase was then agreed to. 01) the next clause beit.g proposed, Sir J. PAKINGTON recommended that the magis trates should be empowered to inflict a fine upi n juvenile (if-uders in some cases; thus he conceived their parents would be inducted to keep their children out of the clutches of the law, and they would thus, in many cases, not be expmed to the c?intamination of the gaol. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said it was likely to lead to abuse, as those who could pay would escape with punishment, whilst those unable to pay would meet with severe punishment. It certainly might induce parents to keep their children out of the clutches of the law, but he did not think that the plan would work well. The clause was then agreed to. On the nest clause being proposed, Colonel WOOD said the number of times a boy ' should be whipped should be left to the option of the magistrates. He begged to move, as an amendment, that the words '. mice or twice " be omitted. Sir G. GREY considered that this was a matter which might be lett to the option of the magistrates. Mr. B. ESCOTT thought that all words with re spect to whipping , should be omitted. Juvenile offenders were the very persons on whom such a punishment ought to be inffetet Mr. GREENE explained that the amendments could not be made until the bringing up of the mpart. Mr. B. ESCOTT said he should divide the House upon the clause. Atter a few words from Mr. TRELAWNY, Mr. WAKLEY hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would leave out the clause. Sir GEORUE GREY consented to leave out the word ",:_ ll i , ce." as it would enable a magistrate to substitute a rj,t_Period of imprisonment instead. ..7 3 - 1 - ) AKING FUN consented, on the bringing up of the repqrt to leave out the word "twice."

Mr. W.A.K.LEY said such a system was most dis graceful. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he did not mean to enter into that part of the subj,ct, but it WAS much oetter. in his opinion, to h.tve such a tribunal than to subject the offender to the El con-,quences of a o i nfin.tnenr with lusrdt=ned criminals. .._..._ . • Loral 5AN1.) , ..0 - .TT approved very much of tiv 'zinclp: 7 e ;,` t ;g ! ,- 41.1..);t:,50rng thrusiling would prevent r ^:1 :tTrce Mr. W.A.KLEY desired to know what the Noble Lord meant by .a wholesome thrashing? flogging a boy degraded him, and he never forgot a blow. if TilE SUN, the principle of the Bill was good, why not extend it to ? At',a•r a few words from :,Ir. ADDERLEY and Mr. PA.L3IEn. r. CHRISTOPHER exprg=Qsecl himself in favour of the Bill. Mr. CURTEIS considered that fl-gging ought to be a•itninis'ered in the presence of two or three na,,gistrates. He was gen.rally adverse to the system of flogging. Mr. DUG DALE said that be hoped the Honourable Member would not divide the House on the question. In fact, he considered that the Member for Finsbury had made the speech most in favour of the Bill, for he said that the boy would never forget it. Mr. WAKLEY said that, in his opinion, flogging had a bad effect upon the character, and the boy that w.s fl..gged for stealing; a few apples might be renthred a burglar by the fact. Mr. B. ESCOTT said that the question was, whether that' should :;object boys to the pailiskinent which, in the opinion of some of the most scientific men, was hurt ful and dangerous. After a few words in explanation from Mr. TRE LAWNY, The gallery was cleared for a division, when there ap peared— Against the amendment For it Majority against the amendment — 43 On our re almission we found Mr. BODKIN moving that all the words from the word '• with," in the third line, to the word "judge," in the fifth line, bp omittf cl. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that the powers given in this clause were only similar to the powers already in existence. If the House gave this power, they would enable magistrates to punish offenders properly, with out avoiding the infliction of proper punishment, or the bad alternative of. sending to the House of Correction. Mr. WAKLEY hoped that care would be taken, if the provision was put in force at all, that it should apply equally to all classes, and that the children of both rich and poor should have the benefit of a good wholesome flogging.—(A laugh.) After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, which did not reach the gallery, The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority - 3 The clause was awn ;greed to. On clause 4 being proposed, Mr. WAKLEY suggested, that in the case of a justice issuing his warrant for the apprehension of a party, the evidence of the party on whose oath the warrant was granted shouid be taken in writing. After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GE NERAL the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. Clauses up to 14 were agreed to. On clause 15 being. proposed, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he rose to ex plain the rea-;on why the Committee had adopted the course they had done on this matter. They considered that if they gave full costs they would be encouraging prosecutions, and if they gave none they would be sup pressing prosecutions, and therefore they thought it right to steor a middle course. After some conversation the clause was agreed to. The remaining elauseA of the Bill were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. POOR AND HIGHWAY RATES EXEMPTION. On the motion for tLe second reading of this Bill, Mr. P. SCROPE said th it the principle of this Bill should be applied to local as well to general taxation. It had been found extremely diffi cult to collect rates from the poor, and by the 24th of George HI the poorer occupier was exempted from the pa) ment of local taxes. The result of not adopting this course had been productive of the greatest inconvenience and expense. He proposed to apply the same simple process with respect to the collection of the local rates that was its operation with respect to the col lection of the general rates. He thought the system of taxation should be placed upon a regular footing. He concluded by quoting an extract from a work of Mr. Piget, stating that in the south of England whilst the population was increasing at the rate of 200,000 a year, cottages were decreasing. Poor families were obliged to use one roam in common, and it was the duty of the House to afford them an opportunity of having two or more rooms, to encourage the building of cottages, and so promote the comfort and happiness of the indus. trions portion of the people. Speculators in house buildings were frequently aspersed, but be considered that they were pubiic benefactors. Sir GEORGE GREY agreed with his Hon. Friend that increased cottage accommodation should be afforded to the poor, but he did not think the Bill would accom plish this object. Ile had referred to the evidence of Mr. Pigot, but he seemed to have forgotten that the greater number of small cottages were exempt from the payment of rates. Then, if it were passed, a direct en couragement would be given to speculators in house property. By it the assessing of cottages to pay rates would be left on a very uncertain basis, because it would rest; upon the account paid for rent and upon the evi dence of surveyors at Quarter Sessions. He thought, therefore, that it would introduce many evils, and as he strongly objected to it, he felt it his • duty to urge upon the House not to accede to the second reading. The motion having been put, Mr. WAKLEY said it appeared to him that the Bill would net accomplish the object which the Hon. Gentle man had in view. It was true that the poor were un duly rated, and that the rich were in many cases exempt. —(" Hear, hear," from Mr. Scrope.) But the lion. Gen tleman seem, d to forget that the cottages, in but tew instances, belonged to the parties who occupied them ; that they belonged often to rich persons, and they screwed them down to pay an exorbitant rent. The subject, however, was fraught with many difficulties ; and he trusted that the lion. Goa tleman, who had brought for ward the Bill with the best motives, would withdraw it, and that the Government would bring forward a Bid on the subject in a future session of Parliament.--(Hear.) Sir J. FAKING I'ON said his Hon. Friend the Mem ber for Suffelk had brought forward a Bill on the same subject, but it was opposed by the Government, and now when the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Stroud mooted a similar measure, he also was opposed. The poor throughout the whole country were suffering much from the present state of the law, and he trusted that the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir G. Grey) wetiki take the whole subject into his consideration and in a future session introduce a measure to remedy the existing evils. Colonel WOOD quoted an extract from the evidence of Mr. Gulson, to show the injurious effect of exempting cottages from the payment of rates. It was 0 , he effect that a considerable sum of money was borrowed by parties from the corporation of Coventry for the purpose of building cottages for the poor. the parties made 121 per c:.nt. out of them, because they were exempt from the rates, and they chargod Id and 2d. more for some of them in consequence of - his exemption. The result was, that a rate of 17s. 61. in the pound was levied upon other persons, who loudly complained of the hews/ - tax thus placed upon them, whilst an immense nuint..er of cottages of this kind were entirely exempt from the payment of r ices. Mr. P. SCROPE said, atter what had passrd he should withdraw the Bill, but in doing so, he trusted that the Governiu , nt would take the euhject into their own hands. Bill withdrawn accordingly. MEDICAL BE'.3ISTItATION AND MEDICAL ____ _LA %V AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. WAKLEY bezgid leaved to po,tpone this Bill, as the evidence taken hetore the M e di ca l C omm i ttee %%as not prepared. Re did believe that a very valuable report would be laid before the Boutin in the course of a few days. The Ball was then postponed till Monday week.

This Bid was read a second time, and the third read ing was fixed for Thursday next. MEDICAL REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. B.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 17 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 -4 d. per ounce for standard goM, gives an exchange of 25 58 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.64. it follows that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from (Lunburgit the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the. English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 ,4 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.94; and the exchange at Ilainburgh on London at short being 13.9 A, it follows that gild is 0.29 per cent. dearer in Hanthurgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 107 per cent., and the par of ex change betweeu England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.58 per cent. against England. But the (voted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, tke interest must be deducted from the above difference.

Gill. Esq., in the chair, after drafts of two Bills promoted by the company before Parliament had been ap. proved, the Chairman entered into explanations with refer ence to the working of the atmospheric, and which, owing to its recent abandonment on the Croydon line, have more than usual interest. He said, in reply to inquiries, that their line had bean repeatedly worked from Exeter to Daw- Hatt in every possible way, both by heavy weights and light weights; and all the experiments have been emu curly suc cessful with respect to both. A speed of seventy miles an hour had been attained with light weights, and carrying 90 to 100 tons they obtained a ~ p eed of from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour; so that they had no doubt of the success of the atmospheric.—(Hear.) They did not wish to open it for a less distance than fifteen miles. It could be but a very short time before they should use the atmospheric, and et e atmospheric only—as far as Teignmouth.—( Hear, hear.) They were making the utmost efforts to coreple e the engines between Teignmcuth and Newton, and in three months they hope to get those engines ready. General Lewis -aid, after the sinister reports that have be en s p read with regard to the atmospheric princi l le, it must be pleasing to hear these statements. Tue Chairman —These reports have never affected us. The rumours have arisen out Of misrepresent& lion. With reference to the. Croydon, it had been stated by those who were not in the secret, that the reason why OA was abandoned was the failure of the system; whereas the system had nothing to do with it. It was a matter of expe diency. It was determined to abandon it because it WAS in expedient to have two systems of traction working within so short a distance of each other, and because one was often an obstacle to the other. y Ascot' Racks.—The female com p lexion has, per haps, no fiercer f.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OF CHAACERY, June 2. The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to day. PIRYIS V. MEDDOW CROFT. The arguments in this case, which were commenced on Saturday, were resumed this morning. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, disallowing certain exceptions to the report of the Master. The cause came before the Master of the Rolls in November last, upon exceptions to the Master's report, who, upon a reference directed to him, received in evidence a decree pronounced in the Ecclesiastical Court on the 12th of July, 1816, declaring a marriage between William Mfddowcroft and Mary Gregory null and void on account of the minority of the former, and because the latter had caused the banns to be published in the name of " Widowcroft ;" and upon that the Master bad found that there was no lineal descendent of William and Edmund Meddowcroft. This was now objected to; and it was said, in addition, that he should have found William Aleddowcroft, the son of Mary Gregory, to be his lineal descendant. James Meddowcroft, the testator in this cause, was a solicitor car t-% ing on business in Gray's Inn ; and by his will he directed his trustees to invest the income arising from his property in the purchase of real estates, and accumulate the income for twenty-one years. He then gave the estates to the male lineal descendant of William Meddowcrott, the younger, deceased, and, in case there should be none, then he gave the estates to the male lineal descendant of Edmund Meddowcroft, and in case there should be none, then he directed his estates to be sold. The testator died on the 7th of• July, 1821, and the period of accumulation expired on the 7th of July, 1842. On the 30th of January, 1843, a reference was directed to the Master to a , certain whether there was any male lineal descendant of William Meddoweroft and Edmund Bleddowcrof'. Two states of facts were taken, in the one by William Meddow croft, the son of Mary Gregory, and the other by Mrs. Huguenin, showing the state of the testator's family at the time of the expiration of the period of accumulation; and upon this . inquiry, the Master received the decree of the Ecclesiastical Court in evidence, and reported against the claim of William Meddowcroft, the son of Mary Gregory, and certified that there was no male lineal descendant of William Meddoweroft, the younger, living at the expira tion of the period of accumulation. In 1813, William Meddoweroft, the younger, came to London as a clerk in the office of his uncle, James Meddowcroft. He was about the age of eighteen, and resided in a boarding-house, kept by Min Lewis, at No. 13, Devonshire -street, Queen square. He there became acquainted with Mary Gre gory, the widow of a lieutenant in the navy. She was about the age_ of thirty years, and had an annuity of 60/. a year from Government. It was said that acquaint ance ripened into attachment, and that in 1814, William Meddowcroft. who represented that he had no father or mother living, made a proposal of marriage. Mr. James Nteddowcroft, the uncle, was apprised of this, and he ex pressed his determination of breaking it off. He removed his nephew from the boarding-house. Mrs. Gregory also re moved, and went to reside at Craven-street, in the Strand ; but notwithstanding this separation a correspondence was kept up between them, and it was alleged that Mrs. Gre gory's friends were made acquainted with all that took place. In 1815 the parties resolved to be married unknown to the uncle. Mrs. Gregory gave instructions in writing to Elizabeth Bradley, at whose house she resided, for putting up the banns. Mrs. Bradley, without reading it, took the slip of paper to the house of a person named Penry, the parish clerk of St. James, Clerkenwell, and gave it to his daughter Elizabeth, who, from this slip of paper, entered the flames in the clerk's book as William " Widowcroft," bache- tor, to Mary Gregory, widow. This entry was copied into the banns-book, and in those names they were published on the 12th, 19th, and 26th of February, 1815. On the 28th February, 1815, the parties attended to be married, the banns hook was laid upon the table. illiam Meddowcroft looted at it, and disclaimed the name of " Widowcroft." , It was alleged that Mrs. ' iregory then refused to proCeed with the ceremony, but this reluctance was removed upon the name being altered in the banns .book; and upon the assurance of both clergyman and clerk that the marriage would be good, and that there was nr:thirg to fear, the marriage was then solemnized. It, however, proved un happy, and within a year Mrs. Gregory went to reside in Devomhire; she subsequently returned, but in consequence of her continued unhappiness, which resulted in a miscar riage, she resolved to acquaint James Al eddoweroft, the uncle. She accoidingly went to him in January, 1816; he at first treated her with apparent kindness, but upon being male acquainted with all the facts relating to the marriage his manner changed, and he declared his resolution to have it set aside, cost what it would. She was shortly afterwards served with a citation from the Eulesiastical Court, at the suit of the father, and then for the first time, as alleged, she became aware that William Meddowcroft the younger had a tattier whose name was also I , V illiam. Upon being served with the citation, Mrs. Gregory went to Messr. Nicholls and Bishop, the King's proctors, fer advice; but they, after listening to her statement, required her to write her further instructions upon paper. She then wrote that the suit was instituted to .. set aide the marriage between William Meddowcrott and Mary Gregory, the banns having been published in the name of Widowcroft, but altered pre vious to the marriage. She also is alleged to have expressed her determination to defend the suit at all events, though her pension as a naval officer's widow was insufficient. It was alleged that she told her proceedings to William Meddow croft, and that he told them to his uncle. During the whole of those proceedings William Meddowcroft lived with Mary Gregory, and on the 6th of June, 1816, she wrote to Messrs. Nicholls and Bishop, stating that there was a prospect of her becoming a mother, and that she trusted a provision would be made for her child. During the whole of this time William Meddowcroft was in the office of his uncle, who expressed his resolution to have the marriage annulled, but his nephew told Mrs. Gregory that he would marry her again, and under that promise it was alleged 'that she neglected actively to defend the suit. It appears, however, that Dr. Jenner and Dr. Dobson ap peared on her behalf, but in the result Str William Scott de cided that the marriage was fraudulently effected, and for a fraudulent purpose. It was said that nflections had been made upon her character, and that she desired to go into evidence upon that, but none was gone into, and the only evidence produced was to show that fraud had been com mitted. The marriage was accordingly set aside, and William Meddowcro.t subsequently married Miss Davis, but died without leaving any issue, and this widow has since married Mr. Huguenin. Upon the decease of William lileddowcroft, the present exceptant disputed the right of his wife to take out letters of administration to her husband. In this, however, he was &Mated, and again in the Privy Council. It was insisted, before the Master of the Rolls, on behalf of William Me idoweroft, the son of Mary Gregory, that the decree had been obtained by collusion, and it was said that it was competent . lor this - Court to entertain the question; it was also Insisted that the ecclesiastical courts had no authority to set aside a decree obtained by fraud, and that the evidence now brought forward gave a new aspect to the case. Mr. Bethel!, lir. Walpole, Dr. Phillimore, and Mr. Daniel, were in support of the appeal, and Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Cole appealed as counsel to support the decision of the Court below. Mr. BETHELL resumed his arguments on behalf of the ap pellant this morning, and was proceeding with his address to the Court, w hen The LORD CHANCELLOR stated he was clearly of opinion that IL- could ❑ot decide the case satisfactorily without the intervention of a jury. After same short discussion the case was directed to stand .over for a week, in order to afford the parties an op portunity of considering whether, for the purpose of having the necessary docuMents (all the witnesses being dead) be fnre a jury, they should file a bill for discovery only, or a bdg for discovery and relief.

TIIE NEW COUNTY COURTS—BOUOUGIt 01 sT. ALBAN'S. Sir F. THESIGER s:ei:t he had been in:tructed to apply for a rule c Bing upon lidwartt of SG. Alban's, to show cause :why a writ of Quo Warrant° should , not issue, ca lling upon him to show by what authority he heal the °Uric, of clerk to the new County Court of St. Alban's. The ques tion, he said, turned upon the construction to be put on the Act recently passed fur abolishing Courts of Request, and the establishment of County Courts in their stead. There hao been a Court of lleque,ts at Nutford, a short distance from St. Albans, and another in St. Alban's. Mr. Ablet, the persan on whose behalf he applied to the Court, had held the e ffioe of clerk to the St. Albans Court for a period of five-and -twenty years. The new Act abolised both these courts, and the material qUestion was, whether Mr. Ablet was or was not the person entitled to be appointed to the clerkship of the St Alban's County Court, which comprised within its limits Watford. It was the intention of the House of Common, that the old clerks should be appointed to the new courts. The old emits were abolished two days before the period when the new Act came into operation, so that it might be contended that the office of the applicant was extinct, and that he had no real claim to he appointed to the new court. When he applied he was told by the judge that he had ap pointed Mr. Gibson to the office. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAS inquired if the appointment was in the gift of the judge? Sir FREDERICK THESIGEIt said the judges were appointed by the Lord Chancellor, and that the clerks were appointed by the judge, subject to the approval of the Lord Chancellor. If the same system was to be pursued, the greatest hardship would be inflicted upon persons who. like the applicant, had properly dis harged their duties for many years; he hoped, therefore, that the Court would grant the rule, in order that the matter might be argued, and a decision come to, a s to whether his view of the law was correct or incorrect. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN granted a rul e , calling upon Mr. Gibson to show caurse. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 2. No cute of any importance occurred in this Court to-day, COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 2. (Siftings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-day, and no case o: any importance occurred COURT OF BANKRUP'T'CY. June 2. (Before Mr. Comtnissioner GOULBUaN.) IN RE MATTHICWMAN. This morning the Governor of Whitecross-street Prison, and the solicitor to this bankrupt, made au application of a singular nature. The insolvent applied yesterday for his discharge Win custody, having filed his petition. The ap plication was not opposed, ana his Honour granted the pro tection, which was produced to the turnkey who had the imo:vent in custody, but he refused to set him at liberty until a search hail been made as to whether there were any other writs in the hands of the Sheriff. It appeared that a writ had been issued in 1842, but no detainer had been lodged at the prison gates, and the question now was, whether the insolvent was not again in custody under this writ. An order setting forth the facts, and peremptorily directing the discharge, was sub m itt e d f or hi s H onour 's sig nature. His ilorrouit said that some doubts existed even amongst Learned Judges as to the extent of protection, and s, eing Mr. Lawrence present, he would be glad to hear his opinion as to the operation of detainers. Dn.. LAWRENCE said, that in the Queen's Bench the War den took no notice of any thing but warrants lodged at the gates; but the Sheriffs considered that if a oischarge was sent for one writ, yet, it they held another, they must de. tain on that or be liable to an action for an " escape;" the keeper, therefore, would not discharge a prisoner if other writs than those mentioned in the discharge were in the hands of the Sheriffs. Ills HONOUR said there could be no doubt that a detainer ought to have been lodged. Toe cpiesti4 n, however, now was, whether a person being detained in custocy under a writ could be claimed as in execution. It was impossible to try the qeeetten et the gates Sid, therefete, he thought eo the debt was set forth in the schedule, the insolvent was entitled to his discharge, but t he order was informal by want of the plaintiff's Christian name; on that being amended he would sign the order. , SECONDARIES' COURT, June 2. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMEs.) DAVIS V. THOISIPSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 6/. 7s. Bd. on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was the acceptor. The defendant had, under a Judge's order, admitted that he accepted the bill. SMITII, the plaintiff's attorney, said that, notwith standing the admission, he should call a witness to prove tat the bill had been accepted within the city of West minster. The Learned SECONDARY asked what object there could be in that. He did not see how that evidence could be ma terial, as no issue was raised. Mr. SAIITII said a question might arise under the Local Courts Act, and he wished to have the fact on the Learaed Secondary's notes. Evidence was then adduced to the above effect, and a ver dict entered for the plaintiff. TODD V. FOOKS. This was cn action to recover ter goods acid and delivered. The defendant had facilitated the proceedings as far as practicable by not pleading to the action, and was now pre-' sent, and said that he would save alt further trouble by con senting to a verdict for the amount. The Learned SECONDARY—You say you are the de fendant, tiut how do I know that? Mr. Tavr.ost, the plaintiff's attorney, said there could not be a shadow of doubt about it. The SECONDARY—Perhaps not; but I must see that there is evidence—proof positive. If you can identify the party as the defendant, well and good; it not, go on with the case. Mr. TAYLOR said he was not prepiired with the evidence consideriuic the defendant's admission would be sufficient. The SECONDARY—There is no proof' that this pers. n is the defendant ; I cannot swear him to the fact. Any person may come forward to say that to delude the jury. It y ,, u cannot carry the case further you must take a verdict for nominal damages, as default of plea only admits that some thing is due, but not the amount. The case was then adjourned. Mr. Taylor proceeding for witnesses—the defendant's desire to save time, trouble, and expense, being completely frustrated. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, June 2. IN RE THOMAS lIILSON GILES. This insolvent, who had been att extensive omnibus pro prietor, was discharged under the Act in the course of last year. He had only two creditors in his present schedule, one the attorney ho had conducted his case in this Court on the former occasion, and the other an attorney, who held a policy of insurance, the premium on which he had paid, and had sued the insolvent for the money, on which he was now in prison. The insolvent's attorney said that the insolvent, who had been in a large way of business, and was now only a driver, might be sued on the policy of insurance, and put into prison every year on the attorney who held the same paying the yearly sum, and then bringing an acti►►n. D:e insolvent was liable to imprisonment every year if the holder of the policy thought proper. The Court ordered the insolvent to be discharged. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Elizabeth Woodstock; a petty looking girl of 15 years of age, was indicted- for stealing a silver dessert spoon, the pro perty of the. Dowager Lady -Nary Molesworth. John Boyle stated that he was in the service of Lady Molegworth, who resided at No. 41, Lowndes-street, Be!- grave•square, and the prisoner was in the habit of bringing vegetab►es fi con the green-grocer's, which she mostly brought down to the kitchen. She had served the house for nearly fourteen months, and until the 24th' of May n A the slightest suspicion was entertained of 'her 'honesty; but on'thilt morn thespoon was missed, and information having been giver. to. the pekice it was iM , tantly traced to the prisoner. A pawnbroker's clerk. proved that the prisoner came to his master's shop, and shoWed him a spoon broken in two parts, wishing to know whether it was silver or not. When questioned as to how she became possessed of it, she said first that she found it in Brompton- square. and subsequently that it had been given to her by a se►vant. Several persons who knew the prisoner from her infancy, gave her a most excellent character, and one, in whose ser-. vice she had been f•rmerly, said she would again take her into her service. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with .a strong re commendation to mercy, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten days' solitary confinement. • Mar gal et Scholland was indicted for stealing a gold breast-pin, the propertA of Jan Risley, from his person. The pros,cutor gave 'his evidence fiat, from which it ap • peared that he and two other gentlemen were in Goswell street when the prisoner accosted them, and after a few mi nutes' conversation he missed his pin. The pawnbroker with whom the pin was pawned by the prisoner not having answered to his name when called, The Learned AsstsTANr JUDGE said the only course open to the jury was to acquit the prisoner on the grounds of de ficiency of evidence. He at the same time should order the pawnbroker's recognisances to be estreated, and at the same time he should take care that the estreat was fully carried out. The prosecutor inquired whether he might get back his pin or not. The policeman stated that he only held the duplicate; the pawnbroker had the pin. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE could render him no assistance. The pros tutor—My Lord, this has been a most unlucky me for me. Yesterday, whilst waiting in the court in expectation of the case being called on, my pocket was picked of my handkerchief, my pocket-book, and several papers of consequence to me, and now it seems, owing to the carele:•sness of the pawnbroker, I am also likely to lose my gold pin. I thought at all events that my property would be safe while I was within the walls of -your Lord ship's court.—(A laugh.) The ASSIST.% NT. JUDGE expressed his regret at the loss of Mr. Riley, but said he could afford him no redress. The prus,cutor then left the court. BRISTOL COUNTY COURT. IMP - 01 - Cia - N 7 r - DECiSION UNDER TII.J; SMALL 1)EI IS ACT. (From the Bristol Mercury.) On Thursday last a case was tried in the Bristol Court, which &serves the serious avention of all trades men, as showing to a greater ext:nt than we believe is known, the great advantages of toe newly established Courts. An action was brought to recover 171. odd, due upon a boot-mkt-es bill, and it was objected by the solicitor for the defaidant that, inasmuch us more than 60/. were . due from the defendant to thg, plaintiff for g..odi, the plaintiff coultt not divide his cause of action for the pur pose of bringing two or more sui's in this court ; but that, if he brought one action, which must be for not exceeding 201., that such action must be in full of all demands. His Honour the kelp (Arthur Palmer, junior, Esq.), however, ruled that the objection could ntt be sus • tained ; for that, as every order for, and delivery of; goods forturd a separate cause of action, a trades m.in might divide his demand into as many parts as there were causes of action ; and, consequent , y, if a customer owed a tradesman 1001., or any larger sun), fur twenty or any oth , -r number of orders, neither of which exceeded 201., he might bring as many actions in this Cc tas there were sip Tate onto's, or sei,strae cause of ae;ion, each under 24., however large the Honour then referred to the 36th hie:ag gregate might ,be. xge 111., c. 25, s. 69, who% b) it is provided that no cause of action shall be spilt or divided, to as to be tontle the grtanicl- of two or tnore dift.rent ac t• ; while by the 9th told loth Victoria it i , enacted that it shit'l not be law`bl tor any plaintiff to divide any cause of tenon, for the put pose of brin..ing two ot more suits-.-which two enact:items appeared to the judge to be in etfeet the same.

Hamblin," an ppp,al bef..re Ba-b, C.J., at the Dundalk. summer nisi ze of 1833, that is hut... two gales of rer:t acre due, Bich, iuLt. a t4 , geiht , r, amouLted to a sum ex ceeding the juri,diction, but taken separately, were within the jurisdiction, that the plaintiff iritght 4rdit the two gal. s of rent, and bring one action fair one and another rcion for the other ; that it had al , o been held by M'Cleland, Bann, at the Ormagh spring a,s;zes, that where two plocesses had been brought, even at the same sessions, each for 71., the one trr a half-year's rent, due May, and the other for another half-year's rent, due out (.4 tile same holding, at Novem. bee following, the plaintiff was entitled to a decree in each case, and the Learned Baron affirmed both on appeal ; so, at the Lifford summer assizes, Pennefether, Baron, decided that where A lent B a sum of money, and about four months after lent him another sum of money, A might sue for each sum in separate action, even at ter both the sums were due. thus, said his Honour, it is quite clear that, in this case, the plain ill' is entitled to split his bill or account, altheugh amounting to upwards of 601., into separate causes of action, not eXceeding 20/.. and bring separate actions in this Court for each part. But his Honour observed that this law did not depend on Irish decisions, tor in England the same principle had been established by Lord Tenterden, C.J., in the case of the King sgainst the sheriff of Hertfordshire ; in 1 Barn well and Adolphus, 672, the case—A became in• debted to B in a sum riot exceeding 40:4 for the carriage of a parcel of goods, and in the month after wards incurred another debt to B, not exceeding 40s. for the carriage of a second parcel ; A brought two separate actions in the Count) Ctairts, each for one of these two debts, and it was urged by counsel that these two items must be considered as constitutir4 one entire debt, and that, therefere, the plaintiff bad no right to split the de mand. But Lord I'enterd,tl held that the caust.s of action wee distinct, and that A was entit , eel to sue sepa rately for each demand. His Lereship sail that the we re perfectly distinct debts, the one having tnwooconinnenesxion with the other ; that ehen the defendant incurred the first debt the plaintiff might have sued him in the County Court, and his haring incurred another and distirct debt with the plaintiff, should not have the ffcct of depriving the plaintiff of his remedy in the County C..turt for the first debt ; and if he may still hive that reme y for the first debt, he had it of course fur the second debt. This decision will be found important, as with the ex ception of the wholesale dealer, who never sells a lot of goods for less than 20/., it seems that every debt due in Briqol, however large in amount, might, by being split into sums, not exceeding 204,- •be recovered, in our County Curt by its expfchtious and cheap process. Anether point of very coesiderable importance has been ruled by his Honour, viz., that although a party may reside at a distance, however great, atr i a st desman in t h o e l oult carrier Bristol,i Bristol, may suenglorA• fur thed forwarded him e debt t inthegei s byßr aud have the same adv an t ages i n the •County from action number f the defendant defendant were living her e , an d a great processes have been issued urder suchceirc9nestances. This is of great importance to all tradesmen who trust persons residing at a di n in Bristol stance, as they m ay sue without leaving the city. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAMES.
