CHARGES GREATLY REDUCED. Mr. LEVI begs to inform the Inhabitants of Liverpool, that, in compliance with the request of several Clergymen of this town, he has greatly reduced his charges, so as to enable almost every respectable person to avail himself of his professional ser vices during the short (fine he intends remaining here. MONSIEUR LEVI, FROM PARIS AND LONDON, BEGS to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabi tants of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that in consequence of the numerous solicitations of several of the most distin guished Families of this Town, he has been induced to pay his SECOND Professional visit to Liverpool; and, as his numer ous engagements at London will preclude the possibility of his remaining long, an early application is therefore necessary. Mr. LEVI maybe consulted DAILY, from Ten till Four, at his Residence, No. 34, BOLD-STREET, Liverpool. COPIES OF TESTIMONIA .--- (From H.

HENRY HAMPTON. 22, Everton Village, Liverpool, March 20, 1846. (From John Pritt, Esq.) Mr. Levi has extracted some very troublesome corns, of very long standing, which prevented me from walking with comfort. I can now walk with ease and with the greatest comfort. I can, therefore, with confidence recommend Mr. Levi as a skilful operator, without giving the least pain. JOHN PRITT. 74, Rodney-street, Liverpool, 1 arch 17, 1846. (From W. H. Moss, Esq.) Mr. Levi has extracted some troublesome corns from my feet, with the greatest skill and without pain. W. H. MOSS. Otterspool, Liverpool, 9th March, 1846. (From Mervyne Richardson, Esq.) Mr. Levi has extracted two Bunions from my foot without cutting, and without the least pain, and which has given me the greatest relief. MERVYNE RICHARDSON. Rock Ferry, Cheshire, March 6, 1846. (From R. Steele, Esq.) Mr. Levi has this day operated upon a Corn under my great toe nail with the greatest skill, and in a short period of time. The Corn has been under my nail a long time, which caused it to grow into the flesh, and thereby . inflammation was incurred; but I am happy to state Mr. Levi has cured my toe entirely, and I can walk now with the greatest ease. I can, therefore, recommend my friends who are suffering from the same cause to pay a visit to Mr. Levi. It. STEELE. 17, Russell-street, Liverpool, March 6, 1846. March 24, 1816. inOttrana WO.

He said he had a calendar before him containing some sixty-two or three names, but there were several important cases which were not in the calendar, because the parties were out on bail. On the whole, however, there were a consieerable number of cases, and some of them for offences of a very serious character undoubtedly, but there did not appear. so far as he was aware, many cases of the ordinary description, and he therefore inferred that they had been cleared away at the Quarter Sessions, leaving a considerable number charged with serious personal violence, breaking into houses, and some other things, which cannot he tried at the sessions, There were several cases of personal violence, including some for murder ; a good many for maliciously wounding with int. nt to murder, or to do some grievous bodily harm and so forth. His Lordship, however, had not been able to read over the whole of the depositions, as in consequence of the amount of business at York, he had been unable to leave there until ten o'clock on Saturday night, and therefore he would only be able to look through the depositions in a very cursory manner, and not with that care he could have wished. He was, however, happy to observe that, so far as he had seen, there was no case of manslaughter arising out of a practice once prevalent in this county, namely, that of up and down fighting; and therefore he hoped the practice was discon. tinued. He did not mean to detain the grand jury long with any observations on the cases likely to occupy their attention, as although he had not been on this circuit for some years, yet he recognised some gentlemen whom, he was satisfied, were well acquainted with the nature of those duties. There were in the calendar three cases where the parties were charged with the crime of wilful murder, and he thought all of them on the Coroner's inquisition. The most serious of them, it it be brought home to the prisoner at all, was clearly a case of murder and nothing else. It was the case of a person named Nathaniel Currie, charged with the wilful murder of Ann Ellison, at New ton. It appeared from the depositions that there was some et i dence of violence having been offered to the deceased a considerable time before the death, and he thought there was a good deal in those depositions which was not evidence at all. Pethaps, however, it was not necessary foe the grand jury to enquire minutely into that matter, as it would be better consi dered before that court. There were, however, some extraor dinary circumstances stated to have taken place about eighteen months before the time of the death of the deceased. It appeared he was a married man, and the overlooker of a factory, the de ceased working under him, and that she was pregnant to the prisoner, and he had read a book to her some eighteen months' ago which, it is pretended, was for a particular purpose. These were cases where it was necessary to introduce a variety of circumstances, and it was almost impossible to say that they might not, in some degree, hear upon the qu - stion, because in cases of that kind it was always necessary to ascertain, if it could be done, what was the motive. Now, the motive in the present case was alleged to be that the priscner, being aware of the situation of the deceased, in order to prevent exposure and the loss of his situation, had destroyed her. There were two young women who saw him wih a young woman whom they did not know, near the spot where the hody was found; but they speak to a remarkable bonnet which was afterwards found in the water. and they swear par ticularly to the person of the prisoner. Shortly after cries of murder were heard, and another person saw a man and woman together; but there is some doubt whether the witness is speaking to the same person. It might be so, or it might not. However, the body is found in the water, arid there was no accounting for how it came there. There were some marks of violence on the body, and a wound on the lip, and there were circumstances which probably would induce the Grand Jury to put the party on his trial. Whether, however, they found a bill or not, the party might be tried, as there was a co oner's inqui sition. Another case was that of John Fairclough, for the wil ful murder of John Curaiffe, at St. Helens. He, also, was com mitted on the verdict of a coroner's jury. That might very likely turn out to be manslaughter. It might, however, be mur der, as there might be circumstances connected with It which he (the learned Judge) was not aware. The third case was that of a Woman of the town, who was killed by stabbing. It stood No. 54 in the calendar, and was a charge against Sarah Swift for the murder of Elizabeth M'Gill. at Liverpool. It appeared from the early part of the evidence, that the deceased struck the prisoner a blow, and provoked her very much in the early part of the day, some four or five hours previous to the transaction. This made the prisoner very angry, and there was evidence to show that she used very strong observations as to what she would do— that she would have a knife ready, and would lie in wait for the deceased. Then it appeared that when they met in the evening the deceased attacked the prisoner first; but if she was lykg in wait with a deadly weapon • intending to use it, then, although the deceased did make the first attack, it would be murder. A good deal, however, would depend upon the construction to be put upon the language used by the prisoner. It did not appear that the witnesses were of that character which entit'ed their evidence to the most implicit credit. That was, however, for the Grand. Jury to judge of. These were all the cases of murder in the ca'endar. Besides these, were several cases of manslaughter, and one or two of a very extraordinary kind, One against a person of the name of Howell, who is the manager of the Ha warden Iron Works, who is charged with manslaughter. in con sequence of an iron tank, which had been supplied by that com pany to the Liverpool and Harrington Water Works, bursting, which knocked down a house, and killed several persons, amongst \ whom was the deceased. The coroner's jury had found a verdict of manslaughter against John Howell; but it appeared from the depositions that he had nothing to do with the erection of the tank himself. The building of it was under the superintendence of another servant of the Hawarden Com pany, who is supposed not to be to blame at all. Now, the sci entific persons who were examined before the Coroner differ as to what was the cause of tl.e bursting of the tank. On the one hand many swear that the foundation on which it was erected was good— others say that though it was extremely well built, yet that there ;was a mixture of new and old work which did not join well together, and they attribute the bursting to that. If that be so theta is no pretence for charging Mr. Howell with •maralaughter. ether witnesses say there tits no fault in the foundation, but none of them so far as ;he could see, say there was any fault in the itonwcrk—the Wks were good —the plates were strung enough, but some of them say it was thought the iron stays were not saffoient in number, and : ot properly placed. The conjecture that tt was owing to that ci r. curnstaLce that the tank burst, and 'mon that oundation there ' was a verdict of manslaughter. It certainly did appear to to very extraordinary. A man was not to be found guilty of felony even for an error in judiar ent, but for come gross negli gence or want of proper care, and surely a person could not sullty of manslaughter 11/31.M6 it W.= Alvin( that by some personal act of his there had been gross negligence which had caused death. In that case it was to be enferred that - there was some defect in the °Hanle' plans, and that was the way they got at Mr. Howell. That was, however, going a great way in the construction of a tank to hold such an immense quantity of water as that. The case which came nearest to that which he could recollect was one tried some time ago, before the late Mr. Baron Bayley, Mr. Baum Alderson and himself, at the Central Criminal Court. It was a charge against a man for causing the death of anotheiaby the bursting of a cannon. The prisoner had suppliel several cannons to a party, one of which turned out to be defective. It was returned to him, and the defect pointed out. He returned it shortly after, and said it was perfectly sound. This was, however, net true, for it appeared he had merely coopel ed it up in a very defective manner. so that when it was first tried it burst and killed a person. In that case the cannon had been returned to the prisoner as defective, and they (the Judges) held it was a case of manslaughter. The Grand Jury, however, Halley were of opinion that there had been gross negligence would probably say the case ought to come before the pettit jury. He, however, confessed, so far as he could judge, that it appeared merely to be a difference of opinion as to the stays ; whether they were properly placed and strong enough. and that could not be more, if they were not, than an error in ju Igment. But, then, he (the learned judge) did not know whether, upon the evamination of the witnesses, it might not turn cut to be a s ronger case thin it seemed to him upon the cursory view he had been able to take of the depositions. The other case of manslaughter was arising out of the bursting of a boiler at Bolton In that case it was alleged that the boiler was not in a proper state of repair, and that that part had been point d out to the accueed, as being so for a very considerable length of time, and the parties who did so wished that the boiler should not be used until it was put into a proper state. He, however, insisted on its being used. They asserted that the safety valves would not work, and they attri buted to him, not a knowledge that the safety valves would not act, but that the boiler generally was in a very defective state, and he (the Learned Judge) was not at all prepared to say that it was n t a case of manslaughter. The boiler burst when Itt was used, and several persons were destroyed, for every one of of whom a separate indictment might be preferred, but probably one case would be sufficient to raise the question. On the other hand, it was said the occurrence was a mere accident that could not be accounted for. If that should turn out to be so, of course there was no reason for the charge. There were two very im portant ewes undoubtedly, not in the tale .dar, and to which his Lordship thought it necessary to direct the attention of the grand jury. His Lordship then proceeded to notice seven cases of Bigamy. two of which were rather extraordinary, for it ap peared that a man and his wife had agreed to separate end each get married again. This however, did not make it less a crime according to law. In case No. 2it appeared that the first mar riage was never registe. ed, the parties having left the church without going into the vestry for that purpose. If, however, the marriage was proved to have taken place, the crimes was complete. In No. 3, it appeared, the parties had been separated for nearly 20 years, and his Lordship recom mended the grand jury to have some proof that the prisoner knew of the existence of his former wife during seven years previous to his second marriage before they found a true hill. In another case, where the marriage took place at a Roman • Catholic chapel, his Lordship recommended the grand jury to ascertain whether the chapel was duly licensed, and observing the t the marriage was proved by the Registrar, he ,:bsfr ved that the only proof of marriage allowed by the act was a certificate, with a seal of the Registrar. 1.. case No. 17, his Lordship drew the attention of the Grand Jury to the circumstances attending the dying declaration of the deceased, observing that, as it ap peared to be made in the presence of a magistrate, they would probably receive it, although some of the witnesses said he did not know what he was about. No. 19 was a charge of rape, of a very extraordinary nature. No. 20 was a case of robbery, where it appeared the prosecutrix had given the money to the prisoner, but he had held her over some water, into which he threatened to put her unless she gave him some money ; and, under those circumstances, it was clearly as much a robbery as if it had been taken from her by force. There was another case, one of burglary, where the party had come down a chimney. Now it had been held where a person entered a house in the night time, down a chimney, that it was a burglary. In the present case the party inside heard a noise in the chim ney, and on going to see what it was, saw the legs of the pri soner, on which he began to beat him. The prisoner forced himself down, and a fight took place between them. Now he ' was curious to know what was the intent laid in the indictment. It could not be supposed a man would go down a chimney for the purpose of fighting. However, the Grand Jury would see. His Lordship then called attention to No. 26, which was a charge against a person for damaging five cwt. of cotton. That, he supposed, was made under Act 7 and 3 Geo. IV., c. 30, which made it an offence, maliciously damaging any goods in pro cess rf manufacture, but he could hardly see how that law would apply, as the cotton was not in process of manufac ture. As to charge No. 50, which was for concealment of birth, the medical man swore the child was born dead, but the act absolutely prohibited any inquiry whatever as to that. No. 51 was a case of conspiracy, in which his Lordship recommended the Grand Jury to examine the witnesses rather closely as to the circumstances attending it. He then alluded to Nos. 52 and 53, charges of manslaughter by running' over parties in the streets of this town. There was some evidence in these cases that the parties were riding their carts with reins, and going at a rapid pace; and although they called out to the deceased, yet it would still be manslaughter. In case No. 56, it appeared the party had died of erysipelas ; but if it was brought on by the violence of the accused, he would still be answerable. There was another case, .that of two boys playing together, when one struck the other without a word, and from the effects of that blow, death ensued. That was extraordi nary, but probably there was some omission in the depositions. If, however, the accused struck the deceased merely in play, without intending any mischief, that would not be man slaughter. His lordship concluded his charge, which we have been compelled to abridge for want of room, by saying that should the grand jury require his advice in any other case, he should be happy to afford it. The grand jury then retired. The names of the common jury were then called over and several not answering to their names were fined £5 each. Some singular appeals were made to the !earned judge to be excused serving. Ouse gentleman said he was a widower with ten daughters, one of whom he feared was about to form an improper connexion which he appre hended his presence at home might frustrate, but his lordship refused to allow the excuse. Another said a celebrated accoucheur had been in attendanc s e upon his wife all night, and lie was in the hourly expectation of an addition to his family. This appeal to the bench was gra ciously acceded to. PERSONATION AT BOLTON. Mr. CROSS applied to the court in the case of a person named Richard Bent, who was tried at the last ass - zes for personating a voter at the municipal election at Bolton-le- Moors, and who had been found guilty, but an arrest of judgment having been moved, the case was reserved for the opinion of the judges. The learned gentleman now moved for judgment. Mr. Justice PA.frESON said he had the judgment of Mr. Justice NN illiams in the case and would dt liver it the next morning. As the derendant was in attendance, his lordship intimated that the judgment was in his favour. LIBEL ON AN ATTORNEV.-REGINA V. STEVENS. The first case called on was the trial of a person named William Stevens for a libel on Mr. Benjamin Peach, of the firm of Owen and Peach, attornies, of this town. The bill was found at the sessions and removed into this court for trial. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. B'air appeared on behalf of the prosecution and Mr. James for the de fendant. _ _ Mr. BLAIR having opened the nature of the charge, which was an indictment against the defendant charging him in six counts with having written and published four malicious libels on the prosecutor, Mr. Sergeant Wfucttrs proceeded to detail the facts of the case to the jury. They had heard that the charge against the defendant was for composing and publishing several malicious libels on the character of the prosecutor, and certainly more vile, malicious, or scandalous libels be (the learned counsel) had never read. Mr. I'each was a solicitor, in partnership with Mr. Owen, of this town. He formerly resided , at a place called Colesford, in Glou cestershire, and in the year 1840, the father of the de fendant, having occasion to borrow a sum of money, Mr. Peach was employed for the purpose of accomplishing that object. That object was accomplished; but in conse quence of something which afterwards occurred, the transaction was not so fortunate for the parties as they probably anticipated, and this gave rise to the vindictive feeling which the defendant seemed to have; against Mr. Peach. He would, however, here observe that the object of the prosecution was not to punish, but to preserve the character and reputation of the prosecutor. Ever since the year 1840 it appeared to be the object of the defen dant to persecute—to hurt and annoy Mr. Peach, and, if possible, to destroy his prospects in life. Mr. Wilkins then proceeded to detail the facts of the case as they after wards came out in evidence, and in the course of his ob. servations offered to give up the prosecution, if the de fendant would withdraw the libels and giv,e security to cease from future annoyance. Mr. Benjamin Peach was then called, and he stated that he was an attorney at the Court of Queen's Bench, and formerly in practice at Coleford, in Gloucestershire. Was employed for the defendant ‘t illiam Stephens, by his father, in 1840. Ceased to be so employed fur him in 1843. About August 1844, the defendant, made a threat towards witness, at Coleford. He said he wculd not mind sacrificing his life. Mr. JAMES objected to this as not being evidence against his. client. His Lordship ruled that it was not evidence, unless it contained a threat to publish the libel complained of. . . . . _ - . The witness then went on to state that the defendant placed some papers on the front of a pew in church, with threats on them. In July last witness came to live in Liverpool, and on the 19th August saw the defendant here. Previous to that had received a letter from the de fendant, signed D-1 on two sticks. After the de fendant came to Liverpool saw writing on the walls of the town, particularly in the neighbourhood of Beroed's Buildings, where his office is. They were in the hand writing of the defendant. One was, ." Ben. Peach, solici tor, go to the d-I." Another, " Ben. Peach, solici tor, No. 4, Berned Buildings, from Coleford, Glouces tershire, known as the d-1 on two crutches. He is a rogue and a villain, and he absconded from Coleford." Then there was another in Sweeting-street, on some boards, with the words, " Ben. Peecb, the Coleford d-l. Ben. l'eech. solicitor, is a rogue." These were repeated several times, and some of them chalked on the Bark Buildings. Afterwards received a placard through the post, addressed to himself and partner, in the hand writing of the defendant. [This contained one of the libels.] In November last was shown some writing on an iron paling in Sweeting.street, in the writing of the de fendant. It was, " Ben. Peech, the Coleford d-l." Cross-examined by Mr. James--Lived at Coleford about ten years. Was well acquainted with all the inha bitants. There were some illuminations at Coleford in November, 1844. Believed they related to him. Did not see the effigy of myself. Never was pumped noon or ducked. Never was thrown into a horse-pond. Knew a person of th' name of Simmons, and had dealings with him, but was trot rescued out of his bands wheu he was about to duck witness. Witmets explained that the per son Simmons had an action of ejectment brought against him, and he went to point out the property, and there ea ,, a pond near, butt no threats were used. Knows Mr. Alfred Butler, who is brother-in-law to witness, and is sorry he ever did know him. In 1843 the father of wit- ness took some mortgages ont of his hands, and the; were placed in the lands of another attorney, in corsequeuce of some family disputes. Knows Captain Jones ; he is father-in-law to witness. He did not accuse witness of filling up an acceptance for a larger sum than he autho rised. Did apply to him for an acceptance, but no sum was named. It was placed in a beak, but not regcciated. Captain Jones came over respecting the bill, which nas for £lOOO, and he stated it was for a larger amount that; he expected. No thrests were used by him in the hear ing of witness. He insisted on the bill being paid, and it was paid by witness. There was £2COO borrowed on mortgage by the defendant's father. The latter watem barrasaed in businras ii 3 IBM .and the defendant bad it assigned over to him. Witness's bills against the defen dant might be £5OO or £6OO. Have sent in one for £540 and another for £145. Knows a person of the name of James Court. Had several bill transactions with him. Don't recollect ever receiving a blank stamp from him. He has once signed a blank stamp. It was to be filled up, but no sum was stated, but cannot recollect the amount. It might be £3OO. Don't recollect his saying it had been filled up with a larger amount than he autho rised. None of the bills were honoured, and C6urt now owes witness about £4OO. Knows a Mr. James, of Cole ford. There was one guinea charged in the bill of t ie defendant, for a fee to him. Told the defendant it hid been paid, but on a letter being received from Mr. James, credit was given to the defendant for it. May have brought four or five actions against the defendant. Re-examined.—The defendant caused the illumina tion, and would not/have been surprised if he had burnt witness in effizy. The bill drawn by Captain Jones was renewed by him. The first bill sent in to the defendant for £145, included about £75 for stamps and costs out of pocket. The bill altogether was about £540, but a great portion was a good deal out of pocket, and witness made the defendant a present of £ll5 when he signed a document thanking witness for his clemency. . [The document stating that the charges were reasonable and thanking witness for his clemency, was then put in and read.] Ia further re-examination, witness said the amount of the bill accepted by Court was all due to witness. - Joseph Brace, process server.—Was employed to dis cover the author. of chalk writings in Liverpool. The defendant had been pointed out to witness. On- the sth of November last, saw him at the corner of Sweeting street and Castle-street. There had been chalk writings on the wall, but were rubbed out, and he was looking a the place. Followed the defendant to the post-office and back again to Barned's-buildings, where he wrote on the top of some railings,—" Ben Peecb, the Coleford Afterward!, followed him to Dale-street, and saw some writing on the Royal Bank-buildings. Green Hill, del k to Messrs. Owen and Peach, denoted to seeing a number of chalk writings ou the walls in pub-. lie thoroughfares. _ _ Mr. GeOrge Wade, paper-dealer, stated that he received a pripted placard similar to the one produced, at his warehouse. had some conversation with the defendant with reference to his transactions with Mr. Peach. Could not tell d7lstinctly who brought it there. Had seen the at his warehouse. The handbill, on which was printed one of the libels complained of, was then put in and read by the Clerk of the Crown. It was es follows . , " ABSCONDED, "FROM COLESFORD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. " Whereas a man called Ben Peach, alias the Devil-oh-two- Sticks was last seen at Barnard's-buildings, - in Castle-seet,. and Sticks, near Edge-hill Church, Liverpool, rny person giving information where he may be found to the fami lies at Colesford whom he has bereft of their homes, will receive a reward of .t'to." This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. JAMES took an objection to the indictment, the ground of there being a variance. In the indictment the words were.' near Edge-hill, Liverpool;" in the bill they were " near Edge-hill Church, Liverpool." . - Mr. BLAIR applied to have the record amended. After some discussion his lordship ruled that the amendment ought to be made. Mr. Jesus then addressed the jury for the defendant. He could net help thinking that when his learned friend, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, opened the case on the part of the prosecution, he was most anxious that it should be brought to a conclusion without an exhibition before the court of his client, for he had never heard so much abuse heaped upon an individeal where his personal liberty was con cerned, as had been heaped upon the head of the poor de fendant. It was far from his intention to justify such conduct, unless it was founded upon good grounds. The mouth of the defendant was undoubtedly stopped, but if he would enter into those circumstances, they would show that be had been ruined in a manner most disastrous. They would perceive that the defendant had originally been a person of property, moving in a respectable sphere, and could they suppose for a moment that the defendant would have acted as he bad done, unless he had been deeply and seriously injured. The defendant was not a - malignant man, but one smarting under the ruin of him self and family, and after the jury took those circumstances into consideration, would they say the defendant had been guilty of libel ? Mr. Wade, who knew the family of the defendant well, had given him a good character, but being asked whether he was acquainted with the prosecutor, he thought himself insulted by the question, and the inhabi tants of Coleford, where lie had lived felt ten years, were so rejoiced at his departure, that they illuminated the town, and made a bonfire of his effigy before his own door. The learned counsel contended that the evidence of the prosecutor was such as the jury could not im plicitly rely on, and without that there was not sufficient for the jury to convict upon. He therefore trusted the jury would not lend themselves to the machinations of Mr. Peach. , His LORDSHIP, in summing up the case, observed that the only question for the jury was whether or no the de fendant 1 üblished the libels. In a criminal proceeding no justification could be proved, because the crown was the prosecutor, and it was so in cases where there was danger to the public peace. They were also to judge of the fact whether the publications in question were a libel or no. Now in law anything was a libel which had a tendency to bring a person into contempt •, but it was for them to say whether those words had such tendency, and if they had, and were the production of the defendant, then he was guilty of the offence charged. The jury foetid the prisoner guilty of all four Mods. His LORDSHIP ordered him into custody, and said he would consider what sentence to pass upon hitn. FELONY. _ . Several prisoners were arraigned. and Pleaded not guilty. George Thornburn alias Thompson, aged 23, was charged with having broken into the dwelling-house of David Tomlinson, in Hugh-street, Salford, on the 4th of March, and carried away a quantity of small articles of apparrel, &c. Mr. Raffles stated the case. The prisoner was found guilty, and was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. He had previously been transported seven years for felony. The court then adjourned to nine this morning. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) The learned Judge took his seat at 12 o'clock. RAILWAY TRANSACTION.—FLETCHER V. MARSHALL. The plaintif in this case was Mr. Joseph Fletcher, teacher is a school at Manchester, and the defendants William and Ed ward Marshall, who carried on business in the same place as stock and share brokers. The action was to recover the sum of £l2l 17s. 6d., which was paid by the plaintiff to Messrs. Marinill, in respect of the purchase 13y him of 50 shares in the Essex and Suffolk Railway. Mr. Martin, with whom was Mr. Cowling', conducted the case . . forthe plaintiff;Messrs. Watson and Atherton appeared i and . for te defendants. Mr. MARTIN stated the case. The plaintiff was a person who, like many others, had been unfortunate in railway specu lations. On the 30th of September, 1645, he was introduced to the defendants, who agreed to buy for him 50 shares in the Essex and Suffolk Railway, which undertaking was at that time intended to be joined with the Eastern Counties. He explained the mode in which those companies were established, which was, that a number of persons having projected a line, printed forms were then given out, filled up, and if the parties applying were approved of, the money was di rected to be paid into the banker's, and on the bankers' receipt being produced, the shareholders were entitled to receive their scrip. The scrip was not issued when the contracts was made, but notices were afterwards issued to the effect that the scrip would be ready in London on the let of October, and on the 14th in Manchester. A note was sent to the defendant on 30th Sept., stating form that the shares had been purchased by the plaintiff, and upon this the latter paid , £3O; on the second of October he was again applied to and • paid 420 ; the rest of the money was afterwards paid by instal= ments, and it was announced that the scrip would be issued on • the 14th of October, and delivered immediately to the plaintiff. It was well known that after the month of October last year, shares in the different railways came down considerably, and were not so saleable as they had been previously ; consequently the non-possession of the scrip by the plaintiff would subject him to serious loss. After the 14th of October the plaintiff called at the defendant's office every day for some time, and on one or two occasions in the company of a friend, but (Ed not succeed in getting his scrip ; owing to this the matter was put into the hands of Messrs. Rowley and Taylor, and the scrip not being forthcoming, proceedings were taken for its recovery. When the defendant was applied to, he stated that he had net got the scrip. The learned counsel went on to show that the defendant had endeavoured to relieve himself from his respon sibility by alleging, as shown in his plea on the record, that the transaction was illegal under a certain Act of Parliament, but the court had decided that under similar circumstances, a contract was binding. The defendants were undoubtedly bound to deliver the scrip as part of their contract. Witnesses were called to show the purchase of the shares by the plaintiff, and the refusal of the defendants to supply the scrip. Mr. WATSON took an objection on the ground that the de fendants were brokers to Fletcher, and were simply to pur chase shares, and exercise due diligence in Ipurchcsing the shares and delivering the scrip, and though the scrip was net delivered, he could not see that the defendants were liable in the way set forth by the plaintiff on the record. Besides there had been no evidence of an express coittract. A question was raised as to an alleged defect in the record, no actual time being stated at which the scrip should have been delivered. , Mr. Martin contended that the averment as to the defendant undertaking to deliver the scrip in a reasonable tithe was sufficient. His LORDSHIP thought the record might be amended, and Mr. Watson could move if he chose. Mr. WATSON addressed the jury, contending that the plain tiff had shown a desire to repudiate his contract by taking pro ceedings before a reasonable time had elapsed for the delivery of the scrip. Between the 14th and 31st of Oct., a period of 17 days, the defendants could not obtain the scrip by any[exertlon on their part, and on the latter date the action was bro ug ht. A n d if they could not obtain it, the question would be whether a reasonable time for procuring it had been allowed before the 31st October. He should call witnesses to show that a reason able time had rot expired when the plaintiff took proceedings ; the scrip for the railway in question was ready on the Ilth No.. vember, and might have been obtained but for the course which the plaintiff had thought proper to take. He thought when the jury had heard the evidence for the defendant, they would be of opinion that a reasonable time had not been allowed. - Severai witneseeswere then called, who deposed they were ac quainted with the mode of transacting business in railway shares. There evidence went to show that some time frequently elapsed between the issuing of scrip and procuring it for delivery ; they had also particular settling days 'in each month, at the middle and the end, and it was usual in cases of contract for shares to deliver the scrip near one of the settling days_ ; the scrip alto passing through a number of hands, which ne cessarily occasioned delay. it was also stated, that it September and October last,. the great amou n t o f b us i ness he the Stock Exchange at Manc hester, and the large engagements. of the brokers, had occasioned delay in th e delivery of scrip gener'aliy. Mr. Habl, sharebroker, of Mancleeter, who sold the shares to the defendant ? raid they h a d made frequent ap plications to him for the scrip, bet o wing to the gigantic tran sactions going on in 2eptember, October, and November, they could not keep pace with them, and delay coeseqeently tool: place in the delieery of the scrip. He did not consider the time et which the scrip lind been issued for th e ra il wa y in which the plaintiff hacl boreeht shares as being longer than usual; he bed Prawn two or three months to elapse before the delivery in mire t‘ere2. Mr. MA RTIN replied observing, that it was new to him. be eauee a person had so m uch business on hand that he could not get througleit, that the rights o f parties shares shen d iiiterferea with.
