ST ANDR SW STREW: EDINBURG' by all C^u~lry News-izentt HEARTLESS RUFFIANISM ROBBING A POOR IRISH EMIGRANT, A pair of well known dock duffers, said by the police to be the greatest ruffians in England, were brought up by detective officers Thompson and Scaife, before Hornby, on the following charge :—The prisoners gave their names as Patrick Carberry and Michael Cun ningham, and the officers said they lived in a house of the most infamous character, in Banistre street. It appeared from the evidence' of an '• unsophisticated " young man, named Tobias Rourke, tiventy one years of age, a native of Bruff, county of Limerick, that he was on his way to New Orleans. and was on board the ship Martha J. Ward, in the Huskisson dock. On Friday morning he was at his breakfast, when the prisoner Cunningham accosted him, and told him he was a fellow passenger, when poor Rourke invited him to have some breakfast, but the prisoner declined, saying he had taken his morning's repast already. After some conver sation, the prisoner said he expected a job on board, and would probably be enabled.to procure one also for for him (Rourke); he pointed out the second prisoner, who was on deck, saying, "that's the man who has charge of all the provisions on board the ship, and I *think I can get you a job whilst you are going out." He brought him to the prisoner Carberry, and said, "here is a man that will answer you over the provisions, as he can read and write, and keep accounts." "That's 3oon to .h ham 'ld coin, value t ei;' Orleans, y dollars, twenty that thevdrtizzed his morose, and J. R. Ri Newton, ?J. Newton, junr., and A. °gds.. shire, spinners, so far as regards A.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.— I This was a case for the special consideration of the court. Mr. Maynard stated that the plaintiff was a surgeon residing at Peterborough, who, having occasion to go from that city to Hull on the 25th of March, consulted the company's time table, from which he ascertained that a train would leave Peterborough at a certain hour in the evening—namely, at 7.20. Having seen this advertisement at different points where it had been placed by the authority of the defendants, plaintiff transacted his business at Peterborough, and at the time indicated, presented himself at the company's station, where he was for the first time informed that there was no such train, and that there had not been such a train during that month at such an hour, or within several hours before or after the time indicated on the time table. The case proceeded to state that there were no means by which the plaintiff could reach Hu.ll that night, and that the plaintiff having made his arrangements on the faith of the company's advertise ment, tendered his fare with a view of proceeding on his journey. The company refused to convey him on the ground stated, namely, that there was no train. I that the line from Peter their line def ) Hull t Aske The comp a ny had running powers over the Northern and Eastern line to the Milford Junction, the companies having be- come parties to the railway clearing system, established by the Act of 1850. The defendants had been in the habit of issuing tickets from Peter borough to Hod on that system. On the 27th of )üblicatical of the March Febru tables, the Northern and Eastern Company gave notice to tire defendants that they should cease running from Milford Junction to Hull the train which corresponded with the 7.20 from Peterborough. Notwithstanding this, the Great Northern Company continued to publish through train to Hull, whereby the 10s.. which was the Plaintiti i and which lad been awarded by the County Court. In the company's time tables there was ail announcement to the effect that the company would make every exertion that the trains should be punctual ; but the precise time of their arrival and departure at the time stated would not be guaranteed, nor would the company .hold themselves responsible for delay or the consequences arising therefrom. Lord Campbell : But that only refers to punctuality. Mr. Maynard proceeded to argue on the ground of contract as contained in the tables, and if not, on the, ground of tort ; for if any person made such an arrangement for his own profit, and datnaeed another person, that was clearly a ground for an action on the case. That was all that was necessary to constitute leal fraud, whatever the motive might be. Mr. H. Hill, for the Great Northern company, contended that they were not liable. They did not, of course, care about the 10s., the subject in dispute, but the qu.s tion was of great importance to the company. Lord Campbell : And to the community at large, for we are now to know what faith is to be attached to these time tables, and what liability is to be attached to the company for publishing them. Mr. Hill said it was well known that almost all the great lines communicated with other lines to the most extreme parts of the country. Lord Campbell reminded the learned counsel that it was not of the slightest im portance whether there was a communication between the Great Northern and other lines. Directly a contract was made, the company was rendered responsible. Mr. Hill submitted that there was no contract, the only evidence "of a contract being the time tables, which were merely an invitation to the public a statement that the company was willing to do business upon such-and such terms. There was no legal contract, any more than there w!is upon the part of a man who put up a statement that he would sell cloth or calico at so much a yard. Justice Wightman : Do you mean to say there was no promise? Mr. Hill: If there were, the company would be obliged to run all their trains at the time mentioned. Lord Campbell : So they are. Mr. Hill : Suppose there was a slip on the line ? Lord Campbell: That might be an excuse. After some further discussion, Lord Campbell said that the case Was, doubtless, one of great importance to railway com panies and the public. It seemed to him that railways would not he of the benefit and accommodation to the public which they were found to he, if the representations on the time tables were treated as mere waste paper and were not to be considered as the foundation of a contract. He was of opinion that in this case the plaintiff was entitled to recover, both on the ground of contract and of false representation. It seemed to him that it would be a binding contract if the company published in express terms that, in consideration of customers coming to the station at a particular hour, they should be conveyed by a train to run at that time, and they came accordingly and tendered their fare. In the case before the court there was a clear promise that there should he a train from Peterborough to Hull at 7.20, and upon the faith of that the plaintiff made his arrangements, and, as was not denied, was put to an expense of £5 103. by the non-fulfilment of the contract. He (the learned lord) thought it could make nn rli ferenee flint tlsc, whole of the line was not the nrn.

The poor dupe went accordingly, but it is needless to say that he did not find the " head man in charge of the provisions." Thompson and Scaife having heard of the swindle, arrested the prisoners in the house alluded to, and they were at once identified by. Rourke, who was not left a farthing in the world. It was really lamentable to see the state of distraction to which the poor fellow was reduced. He said he had worked long and hard in Ireland to collect as much as would take him to America ; he had paid his passage to New Orleans, and had the 235. to pay his fare from that place to St. Louis —he had not a farthing more on earth. The prisoners said it was a pure fiction on the part of the complainant; they had never seen him before. In reply to the magis trate, the complainant said he was quite sure of the identity of the prisoners. The officers said Burke had described the prisoners so accurately, that they (the officers), directly knew them. They had had more trouble with the prisoners than with all the other thieves in Liverpool. Cunningham said that was a libel on his character! as he was a highly respectable pig dealer and cattle driver. (Laughter.) The officers said the prisoners had been in custody several times on charges similar to the present, but they always managed to get off for short periods of imprisonment, in con sequence of the prosecutors going away. Cunningham said that was another libel on his character, and he certainly would bring an action against the officers for damages, as he had never been charged. before. Mr. Anderton, the second clerk, on looking over the records of the court, said Carberry had been seven times con victed, and six times discharged, and Cunningham had been six times convicted, and six times discharged. Mr. Hornby said the prisoners were a pair of audacious villains, and he should certainly send them for trial, but for the departure of the poor Irishman. He would therefore send them to gaol for two months each, with hard labour. Mr. Clough, with his usual good nature and benevolence, said he would try and do something for the poor fellow who had been so grossly swindled of all his hard-earned cash. POLICE COURT-SATURDAY (BEFORE MR. 11. HORNBY.) A YOUNG SIIOPLTPTER.-A girl, not more than nine years of age, named Margaret Kirwan, was charged with having stolen 4lbs of bacon from the shop of Mr. Rothwell, No. 4, Great illmer.street, The girl went into the shop and asked for a pennyworth of cheese, and whilst there she took the 'neon, which had been on the counter, and which was found upon her when followed into the street. The girl said a woman sent her to take the bacon, but her story was not credited, and she was committed for fourteen days. NOT PursEßvm—Two youths, named John Rice, and Thomas Wynne, were charged by Constable 579, who said he saw them leaving the Coburg dock, and on approaching him they d ascertained t broken open, aoci tt tied for prisoner were corn tarp Gellin loyment of arged with Margaret 6 ilcrest, 7 led to for one moot robbed him of a four dolinri in si arrived from posset, and whilst in a state of unconsciousness he was fleeced of ever y thing. A portion of the money was found on the pris - merg, and it was proved they had put, chased prisoners were committed for one month each AN UNGRATFFUL SCOUNDREL.—A young fellow, named George Roberts, with fiery red hair, a sharp, intelligent face, and the characteristic bumps, according to phren ologists, of music highly developed, charged a fellow, named James Connor, with having stolen his fiddle. His story was a sad one. fie said his father and tno!her lived at Manchester, but had suffered a long time from ill-health, and could not earn anything. Being a good performer on the fiddle, he went about playing, and thus earned what kept his parents and two brothers and sisters in a little fond. At Warrington, he fell in with the prisoner at a public house where he was performing. Ths prisoner induced him to accompany him to Liver pool, where he said a fortune awaited him. He played along the road at several places, the prisoner collecting the money, and lived in good style on the receipts. On arriving here, he picked up a trifle about Waterloo road, the prisoner all the time acting as cash-taker. At last, on Friday evening, the prisoner sent him a message, telling him be would take care of the fiddle until he returned. When the poor lad came back, the prisoner was gone, and what was wove, the fiddle was found to have been pledged for 6s.

COM;DSIONER EVANS.) IN RE STRAIIAN, PAUL, AND BATES.—A petition had been presented under this bankruptcy by the Rev. Henry Snow, of Bibury, in Gloucestershire (brother of Mr. Strahan), praying to be declared entitled, as trustee under the will of the late Mrs. Snow, to 509 Sambre and Meuse iron shares, which, at the time of the bankruptcy, were held by his brother, Mr- Strahan, (a co-trustee) and were deposited in the bank in a wrapper, labelled with the names of the trustees. Tll , O property being in " the order and disposition of the bankrupts,'' had of course been taken possession of by the assign, cs and the question arose whether there had an appropriation of the shares as to render them the property of the trustees. To-day was appointed for taking evidence on this point. Mr Hannan appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Bigley for the claimant. Wm. Strahan , one of the bankrupts, who had been brouzht up from pri.ont deposed,—l and my brother, the Rev. Henry Snow, were appointed by my mother executors of her will, and trustees under it. • She bequeathed £10,295 in the three per cent. Consols in trust to my brother Llenty Snow and mdse Robert Snow and his children. The proceeds of her property tvere invested in the purchase of consols to that amount. Some time after her death, in Match 1849, we sold Out that Stock, and lent the proceeds to S:rahan, Panl, and Ba The books will show when that took place. It was heft the death of the late Sir John Paul, which took pl hi 1851 It was done in order to instead of the interest on C o ils ;€,• m the life of the late Sir J. Paul were emrity. On his death the bank received the proceeds of those two policies, and I gave some other sec:pities instead. There are regular entries of the transactions in the Two policies but not of the receipts of the proceeds of the pol acted entirely the business connected with my mot My brother Ilenry must have signed the authority for stock ; but he has taken no subsequent part An entry in the stock- book of " 509 Sambre Meuse iron shares elven in exchange for the policies," was made by me in April, 1855. I had the shares at the bank at the time , wrapped in a paper. At the same time I wrote on the wrapper , and Henry Snow, trustees," and added 100 shareslir" 409 already in the packet. This must have been done either at the time or shortly before, as I had not had the shares very loll*, About the 2nd or 3rd of April, having taken fright about the state of the bank, I went out and bought a note of hand stain?. dated it back for the previous September, and deposited it with the shares. The shares at that time were of more valu o than they are now ; and 1 might have made use of them for, the hank at any time, if I had not put the m by an d cons idered them as sacred. 1 had previously put by some Charleroi an d Erqueilines shares ; but there is no entry in the books to s how the appropriation of those shares. The entry referred to is the Ally one showing the appropriation of the Sambre and Meuse shares. I exchanged the Charleroi shares for the Sambre iroa shares, hut no money passed. I would not have raised monq on them. I exchanged with Mr. Arnold, who w as 0 director in both companies. The exchange mus t have been made two years ago. The Ist of September , 1854, the date of the note of hand, has no connection what . ever with the date of these transactions. That date g 159 merely put to conceal the real date of the transaction ! was on the Ist of January, 1854, that I exchanged the Charleroi for the Sambre shares. The stock, before it w 59 sold out, stood in the name of William Strahan and Henri Snow. My brother joined with me in the authority to sell' . The proceeds were lent to the bank immediately, and 53 account was opened in our books as an ordinary banking account r I intimated to my brother at the time that ther e was security, and he has supposed so ever since, at least I hay° never told him to time contrary. 'When the proceeds of the.policie ° on Sir J. Paul's life were received they went into the bank, and paid off part of -Irts debt to tho bank ! I immediately sub stituted the Charleroi shares as security, but I did not mention this to my brother, nor the exchange of the Charleroi: for the Sambre shares, I mentioned it to my partners, but net, to my brother. I might have raised money on these s hares at any time, but that I considered them sacred as security. I' cannot say when I put the additional 100 shares into tl.e pa per. After hearing Mr. Bagley and Mr. Hannan, his honour de - ,, ferred his judgment till Thursday next.
