BAIL COURT.—Nov.

Sittings at Nisi Prinz at Westminster.—(Before Mr. Justice
Crompton and a Common Jury.)
The court was occupied the greater portion of the day in
disposing of an icterpleader issue relative to the owner-
ship of some houses, of no general public interest,
and the remainder of the day was devoted to the trial of an
action for injuries sustained owing to the negligent conduct
of the defendants, which had not concluded when the court
. . . . .

A juryman called his lordship's attention to a circumstance
that had come to his knowledge, which be truly characterised
as disgraceful conduct on the part of another juryman, with
whom he sat on Tuesday last, on the case of Sibley v.
Stephen, which was an action for damages arising out of tie
fatal accident in St. Martin's-hall. Since the trial the de-
fendant bad received a letter by poet, representing the
writer to be one of the jarymen, and soliciting re-
muneration for the whole of the jury, in consequence of
their returning a verdict in his favour.
Mr. Justice Crompton said each conduct could not be too
strongly deprecated, but he bad no power to interfere in
the matter. _ .

Some of the jurymen exiireesed a hope that the writer's
name might be discovered and exposed.
Mr. J intim Crompton doubted if anything would be gained
by that. It would be SA well to ascertain his name if they
could, and not cell bimagaio. He though tthat the other jury-
men had done right in disclaiming any participation in the
writing of the letter, and that was sufficient for the present.
Mr. berjeant Parry, who was in the case, said he thought
it might be made use of by the plaintiff, who lost the coat.
Mr. Justice Crompton said he was of opinion the jury
returaed a right verdict.
Mr. Berjeant Parry asked permission for the plaintiff's
attorney to see the letter.
Mr. Justice Crompton said be would rather the learned
counsel saw it, and then hand it back.
The letter was then banded to the learned serjeant, who
gave is back to the officer of the court, in whose custody it
now remains.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER—Nov. 7.
SECOND COURT.
&Wisp at Nisi Prim.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin and
Common Juries.)
RAUC AND RUT V. WIEBTON.-WADI V. SANE --FAT,St

These were two action;ii; false imprisonment brought
against the defendant, the proprietor of Weston's Music-
hall. The defendant pleaded first not guilty, and secondly,
that the defendant bad reasonable cause for giving the
plaintiffs into custody.
Mr. Serjeaut Parry mad Mr. Gibbous were counsel for
the plaintLffs ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Watkyn
Williams for the defendant.
. _ _

It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiffs that
Haines was a brick temperer. Wade was an accountant,
occasionally an attorney's clerk, and also * debt collector.
They all lived in the neighbourhood of Kentish-town, where
the defendant also lived. The defendant bad in his garden
an aviary, in which he kept some pigeons. On the morning
of the 25th of April last nine of them were loot. About
four or five weeks previously the female planitiff bad been
to her brother-in-law, Mr. Wade's, whose son had previously
kept pigeons, but in consequence of having lost so many,
from time to time, by some flyin away and others being
killed by the cats, he deter to get rid of them, and
gave them to Mrs. Haines, who accepted them, too'c the-a
home, and kept them in a rabbit's hutch, baring no other
convenience for them ; she kept them in that way for
some time, and finding them very troublesome she
determined to sell them. On Sunday, the 27th of April,
a man named Twiford, who was the coachman of a gentle-
man residing in the neighbourhood, called upon her, looked
at the birds, asked her what she wanted for them, and left
saying that he would bring a friend of his to her on Monday
morning (the 28th), who would, no doubt, purchase them.
On the Monday morning he came with Mr. Weston and his
gardener, who looked at the birds and claimed them as his.
Mr. Weston sent for a policeman and gave Mm. Haines into
custody for stealing them. They then went to Wade's, where
they were told that Mrs. Haines had the pigeons given to her,
gave him into custody, and seeing Haines pass the station-
tense they took him also into custody. The three plaintiffs
were then charged with felony and taken before Mr. Yard-
ley at the Marylebone Police-court, who remanded them for
a week for Mr. Weston's attendance, bail being taken for
their appearance. Upon the second occasion the, plaintiffs
were discharged, and they now claimed damages for Wu
iMprisonmen
In support of the plaintiffs' case Mr. Wade swore that he
gave the pigeons to Mrs. Heine., and young Wade identified
wo of the pigeons (which ware produced) as his.
The defence was that ou the 25th of April last the aviary
was broken open and nine pigeons were stolen. On Sunday
the 27th, Tw iford, Lc snug that Mrs. Haines had some pigeons
for sale, went to look at them, and at once identified them
as being those which were missed from the aviary. He
asked her how long she had had them, and she said about
three days ; that she bad nine, five alive, one dead, and
three at her brother-in-law's. He said he would bring a
friend of his the next morning who would no doubt buy
them, when she said if he bought them he must keep it
quiet, because she did not wish any cue to know it. He
then informed Mr. Wes;on's gardener of the fact, and they
went on Monday morning with Mr. Weston to Hainees
house, saw the pigeons, identified them as his own property,
and gave the plaintiffs into custody, believing that he
had good ground for doing eo.
Witnesses were then called who identified the two
pigeons produced as being Mr. Weston's property, and Mr.
Brookbank, who gave them to him, swore to one in parti-
cular as being one of the birds he gave the defendant.
The defendant did not deny giving the plaintiffs irk)
custody, but alleged that he had reasonable ground :or
suspecting that they had become possessed of the piseons in
a suspicious manner. He did not allege that they bad
stolen them. _ _ _

The jury having retired, returned into court with a ver-
dict for the plaintiffs, with the following damages :-201. for
Haines, 51. for his wife, and IW. for Wade; making a verdict
for the plaintiffs, damages 351.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Nov. 7.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
_ _ GLENNIE r. GLINNIE A.YD BOWLER.

The following evidence was given yesterOly, after or
report left :
Mr. George Mime, of Bow, nurseryman—l am brother
of Mrs. Glennie. I did not visit her till after her husband
had left her at Penge. In October I called at the bowie,
and Mr. Ginnie came out to me. He said, "I am song I
can't ask you in ; but I have a gentleman here whom I don't
wish you to see. I will come out and have a walk with
you." Then he turned round to his wife and
said, " Bella, Tom will take care of you." We
went to a public house and bad some sherry. He said he
knew be ought to ask my forgiveness, for be had sinned
both against God and against me. I told him that as he
had married my sister I would let bygones be bygones. I
told him also that I bad called because I had learned from
my sister that his brother, the Rev. John Glennie, of Green-
street, had been down there and cross-questioning her about
her past life. I said, too, that I bad heard that they were
still in the habit of meeting their old associates. lie replied
that that was true, and that it was not pleasant when
walking out to be accosted by their old associates in sin ,•
adding, that as hie father was a minister to the Marquis of
Westminster he was afraid that it might come to his lordship's
ears. I offered to take them to live with me at Bow, but I
wanted to know who the man was that he had left with her.
He amid it was a gentleman who had kept Bella with him
before they were married. I observed that if that was the
case, he was going a very rum way to work. He replied
that he could not debar Bella of all her old friends ; and
Bowles was now the only one that she ever saw. He said
that Bella was very fond of him, and that he would have
married her only lie (Glennie) was the best looking chap of
the two. (Laughter.) He also remarked, that Toro Bowles
was a stunning fellow, and bad plenty of money. He said,
"As we were very much in debt when we got married it
is convenient to have rich friends, and Bowles is likely to
come into a good bit of tummy by marrying a French lady."
I replied, " Well, if you come down to Bow I'll have no
Tom Bowles there." (Laughter.)

cept that I once went to India as a purser. 1 want to see

cross-street prison. I have had my present business about
four years. I refused to see my sister till abe was married
—at least I would have seen her myself, but my wife would
not. My interview with the petitioner lasted about four
hours. Mr. Glennie was "getting on" a little. A very
little seemed to take effect on him.

Philip Watson, a shopman in the employ of 3fessrs. Har-
vey and Nichols, proved that Mr. Bowles had purchar-d
some "rep" curtains there for his chamber..
_ _

The Quiten's Advocate then put in thTesinotes from the
petitioner to the co-respondent. The latest wag dated the
17th January, and it contained the following passage :—" I
find, to mv sorrow, that Bella bad accepted the loan of
Rutherford's brougham, or rather, that he had given her •
carte blanche to have • brougham from Baker's, where he
keeps his, whenever she pleased, and at bia expense. I
suppose be is now nettled at her taking no Dotice of lum.
. . . If you will send rue back the bills I will do my best
to pay them."
Atchevon, the porter at Palace-chambers, recalled for the
petitioner, said the hall door was not fastened till six
o clock in the winter and eight in the summer. All the
gentlemen who had chambers were supplied with latch-
keys. In the daytime the page Gibbs attended in the hall
to answer questions. After the door was shut, Gibbs had
other duties to perform.

Huddlesio- n then addressed the court, contending
that the alibi had been satl.factorily made out; and also
that whatever the conduct of the wife might have been, the
husband haddeliheratelyc2onived at and condoned it.

The Queen's Advooste followed on the same side, insisting
strongly on the evidence of connivance.
Mr. Karslake, in reply, ridiculed the extraordinary at-
tempt which had been made to prove that the respondent
had not palmed the night of the 4th of January with the co-
respondent. The account she pee of the transaction was,
that she bad gone to visit her sick mother, whereas it turned
'nut that the mother was not on that day at Fulham at all.
There could not be the least doubt that adultery had been
committed over and over again at Palace-chambers. As to
the plea of condonation, no real evidence had been gives Is
its support. Neither had there been any eatideetney pled

John Angell, porter of the City Union, said the prisoner

night it was untouched. The prisoner, on being spoken to,
said he would not do any work.
The prisoner, in a very excited manner, said he would
not stay and be murdered in the Union-house. The animus
of the guardians of the City Union had been manifested
in a variety of shapes. He had been persecuted and p.in-
perised by the guardians. When he left the union and
had obtained situation" the guardians hunted him out of
them. He wished to be sent to prison. He had been in

THE FORGERY AND ROBBERY ON THE BANK
OF ENGLAND.

The investigation into the above extraordinary
case was resumed yesterday morning at the Mansion-house,
before the Lord Mayor.
The sex prisoners, George Buncher, Robert Cummings,
Burnett, Richard Brewer, James Griffiths, and
l'enry Williams, were placed in the dock at half-past one
o'clock, in custody of Moss and Webb. the detective officers
who have been mainly instrumental in causing their
apprehension.
Mr. Freehfield again appeared for the prosecution • Mr.
Pater, the barrister, appeared for Buncher ; and Mr. Lewis,
of Ely-place, for Brewer.
Mr. Freshfield, at the commencement of the inquiry, in-
timated that it was probable that in the result a specific
charge would be made against the prisoner Williams of
having engraved upon a plate portions of a Bank of England
note, but at present he was only prepared to give general
evidence to connect all the prisoners with the robbery of
the Bank paper aid the forgery of Bank notes, and to confirm
the evidence that bad been given by Henry Brown, the ap-
prover, at the previous examination.
Henry Brown, the witness referred to, was then placed
in the witness-box, in order that he might be cross-examined
by Mr. Lewis. He appeared to answer the questions, some
of which were necessarily of a very unpleasant chiracter,
very readily, and the impression in the court appeared
to be that he was speaking the truth. In answer to
questions that were put to him by Mr. Lewis, he said-
-1 have a pretty good memory, and I believe I have stated
correctly all that I know of this matter. 1 left the
paper mills at Laverstock in June, 1860 (he afterwards ex-
plained that this was a mistake, and that lss left in 1861).
I was dismissed, but not for misconduct. I was not charged
with being out late at night and keeping bad company. t
went to London after I was discharged and was employed at
Stratford, and then I went back to Laverstock to my father's
house. I went again to London about Easter, 1862, and I
took up my residence at the house of the prisoner Burnett.
I was aware at this time that he had been in trouble.
Mr. Goodman here interposed, and said that Mr. Lewis
was not justified in eliciting this fact, as it only tended to
prejudice the prisoner whose name had been mentioned.
Mr. Lewis said be should not proceed any farther with
his inquiries upon this matter.
In further crews-examination the witness said—l did not
go to Buroett's house by any invitation of his, but quite
unexpectedly by him' and I remained with him until the
reward of 1,5001. wee offered for the ditoovery of the per-
sons who had stolen the Bank paper from the mills. Ido
not recollcrt when the reward first came out. I can re-
member things that occurred, but I do not reoollect dates.
After I had been advised to go "into retirement," when
the discovery was made, I left Buroett's house, and went
to live in Tower-street, and Burnett provided me with
money for my subsistence.
Mr. Lewis asked the witness when he first came out of his
retirement? (A laugh.)
He replied about ten weeks ago, and he said that since
that time he bad been under the we of the police. The
witness went on to state that since the period he had men-
tioned he bad been living at the house of Smith, one of the
detectives engaged in the case, and he provided him with
what he required. He occasionally went out with him
for a walk, but he never did so " professionally." (A laugh.)
Smith also took him to the Exhibition and the Crystal
Palace, and of course he paid all his expenses. (A
laugh.) Smith never gave him any money, or pro-
mised him any, aid he merely provided him with
board and lodging. When they went out together they did
not constantly talk about this business, and they never
mentioned it at ell. The first person he spoke to about the
robbeif was Mr. Hamilton, the chief of the detective
police, and he was pressed by him to tell all that be knew
about the matter. At first he was something loth to tell
what he knew, but afterwards he made up hie mind to tell
the whole truth. He was told that be might be wade a
witness if he told what he knew, but he was at the same
time told that even if he did make a statement he might
still be indicted in the charge and be placed in the dock
with the others. He first made a full statement to the
officer Smith. It was to the same effect as that he had
now given, and Smith took it all down in writing, and they
were engaged two days about it. Nothing was ever said to

recollect • perm corning there. The witness, on being
asked to pokt out the party, pointed out a gentleman in
court, who was listeciug to the proceedings, which caused
much laughter.
Mr. Freshfield said he had been informed that this witness
would identify Buncher as the man ; but as she had failed
him, he must get another.
John Moss, detective officer of the City police, maid—On
the 6th September last I went to the house 13, North Kent-
terrace, New-cross. 1 found the last witness residing there
with her husband, and • person named William Campbell
and his wife. I was accompanied by Smith and Baker, two
other officers. We went shortly after 5 o'clock in the
morning. We first took two bricks out of the parting wall
from the trout putout to the back parlour, and hung a light
picture over the hole in the front parlor. We remained
there until balf-past one, when Mrs. Campbell came to me'
in the beck parlour, and from what she said I went upstairs
and looked out of the back winclow,Und sew two men waiting
in the Napier-road. I cannot be certain who they were. I
heard those two persons speaking in the house in which I
was, and I believe, from the tone of the voice of
one of the parties, that he was the prisoner
Boucher. To the aiet of my belief he is one
of the two persons I maw in the Napier-road.
I know that Blancher lived at Stratton-ground, West-
minster and is a butcher. At about • quarter before three
I heard knock at the door, and some one asked for Mrs.
Campbell. The question was asked, I believe, by the pri-
soner Buncher. The reply was Yes." Mrs. trnpbell
was called down stairs, and the prisoner who I believe to be
Baneher, said, "Good day. eW are you prepared to-
day ?" Mrs. Campbell rid, "Yes." The prisoner said,
"How much?" Mrs. ?obeli said, "Fifty." The pri-
se:.

what you have got. Mrs. Campbell said, "How much
have you got. " He said, "I've got plenty of tens
sod fives. I'll fetch them." He then left and
shortly after returned. At that time Mr. Campbell
came In, and the same pima said to Mr. Campbell,
" Have yon got the stuff !" Osmpbell said my wife has
it upstairs." The man then became very violent and used
very bad language, and Mr. Campbell requested him to be
quiet. She went out and called in the other man, who
said, " Come along, George, don't make • fool of yourself."
The man said, " Now, the staff, you little humbug. you're
playing the fool with us. It's not very likely were going
to part with the stuff till we get the money. Yon take
me to be • fool, but you're mistaken. In fact you
was never more mistaken in your life, you little —. Once
for all you know there's 1,5004 reward for me. lam the
man that's got all the Bank paper, I have 30,0001. now,
and the Bank of England can't stop it." Campbell said,
"If you let me see the notes I will get the money. He said,
"It's nut likely. Wedon't do business like that, but if you
show me the money I'll take my oath and Mr this book,
may I be well paraly sed, and may God strike me blind,
if you put the money in my hand you shall have the goods,
say within a quarter of an hour. He described himself as
a very strong man, and able to stop • engine. He con-
tinued to ask Campbell for the money, and said he had not
got any money. Campbell said he had some money, and be
replied, "Then if you won't part, pay my expenses for
the day. I've brought this man up from the country.
I've lost all this day. If I'd been at home at my shop
I could have earned 31. or 4/. I won't leave this place
till I get my expenses. I'll smash your face in,
and break every thing there is in the place." The other
man who had left then came in again, and said, "Come
on, George, don't make such a fool of yourself ;" and
he said, ' I won't leave till I get my expenses ;"
and addressing Campbell —" Well, if you won't pay our ex-
penses-2l.—fend tae 21." Campbell refused to do this, and
he left with the other man. I afterwards apprehended the
prisoner Buncher, and I believe him to be the perm
alluded to in my ;riders. I apprehended him outside hie
house, 38, Strutton-ground, on the night of 27th of October.
I also apprehended the prisoner Cummings, between seven
and eight o'clock on Monday, 27th October, at the corner of
Essex-street, in the Strut Sergeant Snail was with
ca me
and we put him in a b. We kept both bis and
heard " You need not hold me, rye nothing shout me a
Neddy.' " We went to Bow-lane station, and on searching
him found in his pocket a life-preserver, which I produce.
Crces-examined by Mr. Pater— I apprehended the prisoner
Beecher on the 27th. I had every 11/Mi11;.312C0 to search the
house. I had plenty of assistance with me. We went into the
house No. 13, North Kent-terrace, and made • bole in the
wall, having previously obtained permission. The inmates
of the house might have heard the conversation. They did
not listen at the hole. It was five o'clock when we first
went to the hour. We maw the two men at half-past one.
They were in the Napier-road. That would be about 70
yards from the house. I can't speak with any degree of
certainty rto their identity. The other officers remained
in the hack parlour. The two men waited three or four
hours before they came in. Smith went to the door and
looked at the men as they went out. They left about four.
I took a memorandum of what passed at the time. I believe
Smith took a note. I swear that the whole of the writing
refer :log to the evidence was taken down at the time of the
conversation in that room.
Mr. Freshfield said be should next call a witness who
would give evidence which would criminate the prisoner
Cummings, against whom no evidence had been at present
adduced. lie then called

the New-cut. He said he was going to Portsmouth. I saw
him again in the New-cut about four months ago. I took him
home, end be asked me and my wife to go and have tea with
him. He was living at that time in Angel-place. He told
roe that evening to call the next morning, telling me that
he should be able to put me in the way of earning a few
pounds. I went and saw him. He took me upstairs. sod
showed me • piece of paper. He held it up to the light,
and it appeared to me to be like two IL Bank of England
notes together. It bad a " Five" en it, and "Bank of
England' in • kind of transparency. He asked me
if I could tell him anybody that could do them
for him. By that I understood him to mean print them.
I told him the only OM I knew who was likely to do it was
"Bob Cummings, one of the prisoners at the bar. 1 had
known him before. We left and went over the water to
the Feathers, in Smithetreet, Westminster, where I left
Burnett, and I went down with • piece of paper, which
Burnett had given me, to the White Horse, where I slaw
Cummings. I gave him the paper, and he looked at it. I
asked him if he knew anybody that could print it, and he
said he did by going down to Birmingham. I took him to
the Feathers, and introduced him to Burnett. They had

in Broady:all, and we walked overWaterloo.bridge. We had

house, where 1 gave Cummings the roll of paper which I
received from Butnett, together with IS.. which Burnett
also gave me. Burnett said if he wanted any more money
he was to send to him, Mr. Jackson, Angel-place, Black-
friars-road. I don't think Cummings ever saw Burnett until
1 introduced him. I don't know why Burnett gave the name
of Jackson. He left Cummings, and Cummings went to
the railway-station, and Burnett and I went back. I
was to go to Birmingham with Cummings ; but, for-
tunately for me, the train did not go on the
mottling, and I thought over it during the day. I saw Bar-
nett on the following week. He mailed upon me and said
he bad rr wived • letter from Old Bob, who wanted some
more money. I advised him not to send the money, but
take it down himself. I saw Burnett after that, and he
said he should go to Birmingham on the Wednesday. I saw
him on the following Saturday, when he told me he had
come up from Birmingham, and be bad bad • row with
Old Bob, who had tried to choke hint, and stock to all the
things. Burnett said if it mime off all right he would have
to square up the wheeler, which I suppose means that he
would have to pay the one that stole paper.

would ask that the case might be adjourned.
