Mr. 13.;0n, titor.7.l;kefiunee"---li moved in
this cam for ao injunction to restrain the defeedants from
oonetructing any Wiliam upon Dowgate-bill or any part
thereof. By the company's set, pared in 1859, the, were
precluded from stopping up or redwing in width Brisk-lase,
t Banff's-yard, or Dowgate-hill, or any part thereof respec-
thinly ; but by a subsequent set they were allowed to con-
AMA their works on Swtt'e-yard. They were vow pro-
mediae to erect buildings on an open space, called " the
Rees.," which the corporation of London bad allowed to be
nudes& cart stand, and which was tie acesiog of Tuna w heel-
street into Dowgate-MIL The qoation was whether " the
I Recess " war or wan not a pert of Dowgide-bill? It appeared
from the evidence that the mouth of "the Roar" was in
Dowptelill ; but se to the rest, the nature of the evi-
-1 donee will appear from his Booonis judgment.
Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., IL P., and Mr. Speed appeared
for the defendants, and insisted that the space in question
was not in Dowgste-hill, and that the injunction ought
not to be granted.
The Vice-Chaseellor said that the company's act
was perfectly clear and peremptory ; and it enacted
that, in making their works, they should sot
take any part of Dowgete-hill. On the hill, and
in front of Skinners'-hall, which was on the west
side of the bill, there was a wide space, drawn upon the
plans annexed to the company's act. For the plaintiffs it
was contended that that spew—called the Reines.—was part
of Dowgete-hill ; fur the defendants, that it was not.
It was in evidence on the one head, that cartels
bonsai which were on each side of the space were mem-
bered, and described as being on Dowgathhill ; but even so,
they did not necessarily form part of Dowgstrehill. It was
also said in the evidence that the space bad been made
available for carte for public hire. The evidence, so far,
was perfectly clew ; but it was met by the pleas deposited,
and by the evidence of the engineer of the ooy. One
witame had stated that, to the beet of his judgment end
belief, the defendants bad not taken any part Dowiste-
bill. But the question beim whether the MOM in question
was part of Dowgate-hill, his honour came to the maxim
sioo that, on the whole of the widows, it was a part of it ;
and the injunction mint be granted according to the berms
of the notice of motion.

ROBBERY AT A BULLION DEALERS IN LOM-
LARD•STBEET.-BEPOBTED LOSS OP 25,Ut101.

A robbery of a large amount of bullion, notes,
and other valuable property, was discovered yesterday
morning to have bc.o committed at the offices of Merin
Baum aid Son, bullion dealers sod money cL augers, 38,
Lombardi ties. Ili. Baum, see., had beau in buaiuvas
the City ior nearly el years. liar eldest son i. w partner-
ship au. bau,and he has two other eons engaged in the office,
which, with • clerk sod • porter, a lad, comprised the whole
staff of the firm. Yr. Baum occupied the shop and cellar of
the above-aamed house, the upper portion of the promisee
being let as offices to venous brine, and at night the place
is left in charge of the homekeeper, her husband and
daughter, penous of good character. The practice usually pur-
sued at the establishment of Mr. Baum at the close
of the business of the day was to deposit
the bullion, ores, sod other valuable securities in • rge
iron safe, in what was called the sear room, built in the
cellar. lt his an arched roof, and the walls are of brick-
work. It appears there is only one set if keys connected
with the strong room, and it seems that Mr. Baum, set.,
left Isechardeneet early on Saturday afternoon, leaving
has son, the partner, sod another son in the office to attend
to the usual sraogemaata on the close of the day. The
last to leave was Mr. Adolphus Baum, the eldest son, who,
after lonia( up the plaste, appeared at • subsequent period
to have heeded the keys of the strong room to his brother.
is order that he might give them to has father, which he
did on Sunday, at he residence at Camberwell, when he
went to dine with him. It may here be noticed that Mr.
Baum had • dog, which was left to range about the offices
in Lombard-street at night, and on the Sunday the police
say the animal was most vigilant in his watch on the pre- '
nines, for on the door being touched at any hoar of the
night, it would be immediately oa the alert, and set up •
most angry barking. About half-past 8 o'clock yesterday
morning Mr. Baum, son., came to business as usual. The
office was entered by a door in the leading to the
upstairs offices, adjoining the church. The door was secured
by two cross ban and a patent padlock, which appeared le
be perfect and safe. The office was opened and Mr. Baum
went with his porter, the lad, down into the cellar to '
unlock the seam room, the suunass to the cellar being
only accessible from the shop, On attempting to open the
door he found some impediment is the upper lock, which
passed the bolt, and at the same moment he also perceived
that the lower keyhole bad been subjected to some violence,
and a small bar which covered the main look had been torn
off. The door, notwithstanding these marks of violence,
appeared to be secure and feat, but, as was sulesquestly
ascertained, it was really unlocked, although closed. The
porter, who was holding a candle to assist his
easier in opining the door, her, called out that
a lot of the brickwork of the side wall of the strong
room, which divided it from • coal cellar
was lying on the ground, and on Mr. Baum going forward
he discovered that • hole bad bean broken through the wall
(9 or 10 inches io thickness) into this strong room, and large
enough to allow • full grown pence to crawl through. it int-
mathately occurred Whim that some burglar had broken into
the place, and he at once told the lad to get into the room
through the hole, and see what bed occurred. Ids did so, and
found the large iron safe open, and the whole of the valuable I
contents, estimated at from 2%,0091. to 25,01.101., were gues.oa
the arrival of the City detectives the matter was at once
taken in bead. It is believed that the place had sot been
violently entered by burglars from without, but on • lock-
smith examining the error of the meet lock of the side
door, it is sired that suffices% was seen to show that it
had bees mostly taken to pieces, whether for the purpose
of enabling • key to be made to open it, or sours other
object, remains to be learned. The next matter which
excited the closest scrutiny was the manner in which the
sear room had been entered and the iron see
opened. The safe is • very large one, between three and
four feet square. The exterior bore no trace of violence
having been used in opening it, Three or four new crow
ban or " jemmies," it should be mentioned were found in
the safe room, and the edges showed that they had bean used
in breaking through the wall, but there were no corm
monding marks on she safe to show that they had been used
is forcing it, and the only disfiguration was the dupers-
mint of some ornamental beadwork round the edge. The
locksmiths who were riled in by the police to rust in the
examination expressed an opinion that the eels had bee
opened by • key, but the interior or inside Jiang of the
door containing a portion of the lock had bees taken bodily
out, indeed unscrewed from the order frame and throws
down an the floor, when it is suggested that an iron Mr or
some weapon had been put in the side of the lock sod
torn open, for what purpose it is difficult
to tell. TM next thing that excited some attention was
that the iron door leading to the strong room was actually
unlocked, and why an entrance should have been made
through the brickwork, adding to the noise and their
trouble, when the thieves had evidently the means of open-
ing the steer door, is also a ratter that has created mach
surprise. In • corner of the strong room are a pile of bullion
boxes, all bearer; marks and addresses so merchants abroad.
The boxes are all empty, and a significant fact in connexion
with them is that they have not been disturbed. The
business portion of the shop is entered from Lombard.
street by two folding doors, secured by bolts, cross lan, and
over them a longitudinal bar, secured by padlock. This
padlock was found to be missing altogether. The bolt of
the half door, which opened, was drawn, and
the door temporarily secured by • new catch
lock, so that • person leaving sad puling the
door after him, the lock would catch, and the door apps.
randy be secure to the next policeman who came round sod
tried the place, as it was customary for the officer on the
beat to do eo every hour or so. The police have taken the
lock off, and it is to their parswon. Mention has already
been made of We dog which was left in the office of the firm
at night. The housekeeper and those who passed up and
down the punage in the come of Saturday night sod Sun-
day remark that they did not remember hearing the dog
bark, as was his practice during that time, and when the
place was opined on Monday morning it was found that the
animal had apparently been tied up somewhere with •
leather strap, while over its mouth was found the remains
of some sticky composition, es if something had bees
placed over it to stifle the noise of its braking ; but if that
hid been the object, it is strange that the animal was not at
once destroyed, as by the crow bar found in the place it
could easily have been despatched. Up to a late hour last
night the City police were engaged In collecting • list of the
moneys, notes, and other property stolen. A large portion
of the bullion emeisted of foreign coins, gold and silver.
Then were also a large quantity of foreign bask notes, bills,
cheques, diamonds, jewellery, deeds, and other securities.
The matter is is the heads of Mr. Hamilton, the chief of the
City detective force, who with his officers an ring every
vigilance to trace out the patties implicated.

DESTRFCTION OF • CHIIBCH BY FIRE. A sad
calamity has befaßsc the church of Sherburn Hospital. That
venerable edifice hu been totally destroyed by fire, theblack
said murky walla being alone left to mark the site of the
once noble and stately edifice. The unfortunate occurrence
was disoovered between two and three o'clock on
Sunday morning; and although the neuseary appliances
were quickly brought into requisition, it was found impos-
sible to save the sacred structure from the disastrous fate
by which it has been overtaken. What adds to the painful-
ness of the event is the fact that the church was
visited by a similar outbreak a few year. ago,
and had recently undergone rutoratiou. The fire
in this instance is attributed to the overheating of the
fine attached to the heating apparatus, which had been in
operation preparatory to the Sunday service. A new build.
ing, which had been lately erected for the use of the in-
mates, at a met of 14,0001., sod which closely adjoins the
chapel, has happily escaped intact. Sherbert, Church,
which was situated near Durham, was of pure Norman
architecture, and was founded about seven hundred years
ago.—lreccastle Chronicle.
COURT-MARTIAL ON AN INSPECTING COMMANDER
Or TIM COAST.OOIARD.—A court-martial was opened yester-
day on board the Royal Adelaide, guardehip, in
Harooans. P ymouth, for the trial of Inspecting Commander
George Dogherty Broad, of the Queenstown Cout-guard
district. The charge against the prisoner was of his haying
clawed false entries to be made in the " Journals" of the
Rache's Point station in his district. The proceedings will
he resumed to-day.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.
Lot night a fatal accident occurred to Yr. Wil-
liam Stamp, a schoolmaster in the service of the
Admiralty, for the education of lads attached to the
Fiagard ag-ship, and intended for the Royal Navy,
It appears that the deceased and a number of the lads
were berthed on board the Hobe sailing vessel, which is
moored in the river, opposite the dockyard bar'oette bat-
tery. About half-put 7 o'clock the deceased entered the
dockyard and proceeded to the landing- tain at the bat-
tery-wharf, for the purpose of being rowed to the Hobe,
but had to wait for some time, aa, in accordance with
the rules of the dockyard, the oat for the conveyance of
Mirto the government ships in harbour does not

to be walking on the wharf for about 10 minutes, when
1 a splash was beard, and it wu found by a pohce-con-
-1 stable on duty that be bad by some means fallen into
the water. As soon as possible. • boat wombed by the
