EQUITY COURTS.
Before the Lord Chancellor.
EASCM V. EASVSI.—ACCOUNTS.—P9ACT/CE.—MISTAXE.
—This was a petition of rehearing a cause upon allegation of
errors in accounts which were taken by the master. No ex-
ception had been taken to the report made by the master,
and the cause having come on for further directions a decree
was made confirming the report. The Master of the Rolls
was of opinion that after these proceedings he ought not to
rehear the matter. The application by way of appeal was I
then made to the Lord Chancellor, and was argued before '
Ms lordship last week.—The Lord Chancellor new gave 1
judgment. There were two sets of accounts of a compli-
sated nature—viz., executorship accounts and partnership
accounts. A reference was made to the master to take these
accounts, and to his report no exceptions were taken ; but the
cause coming before the court for further directions,
the report was confirmed and a final decree was
made. The defendant afterwards discovered that be
had charged himself twice with some items, and
then he presented his petition for re-hearing, in order to
have the master's report referred back to be reviewed. The
Master of the Rolls in refusing the petition stated correctly
the principle upon which the court sets in such eases. But
matters were brought before this court that were not before
the Master of the 'Rolls ; and it did appear that there were
errors in the accounts as shown in the schedules to the
master's report, and that the party was not aware of them
until after the dente on further directions. Under all the
circumstances (which kis lordship stated at length) he was
of opinion, especially on thenow matter brought before him,
that the report ought to be referred back to be reviewed.
It may turn out that there was no error at all ; but stilCit
was quite consistent with the principle of the court, as stated
by the Master of the Rolls, to give the party an opportunity
of reviewing the report, subject to the payment of coats.—
discussion took place between his lordship and the counsel on
both sides in respect to the costs.
In THE MATTEIS OF TOWNSEND, A LVNATIC.—A QCF.S-
TION OF COSTS OF ILE•CONVEYING MORTGAGED PRE-
MISF.S.—EX.CEFTION TO THE GENERAL RULE.—Mr. Craw-
ford supported a petition presented in this matter, Rodin the
matter of the act 1 Win. IV., c. 60 (for amending the laws
relating to the treader of estates vested in trustees and mort-
gagees), by a Mrs. Symes, devisee and executrix of William
Symes, for redemption of a mortgage executed by him to
the lunatic; and besides the usual prayer, for re-conveyance
older mortgaged premises by the committee of the lunatic,
an payment af the principal, interest, and costs, it also
prayed that the tests incidental to this petition he paid out
of the toadies estate.
yeThe learned counsel cited in support
alibis pert of the prar the case " P.x e Richards
(1 Jacob and W.), a decision of Lord Eldonpart's in 1820, and
"In re Baker " (Shelford's " Law of Lunacy "), a decision
ef Lord Lyndhunt's in 1827.—Mr Been, for the lunatic's
eommittee, opposed the latter part of the petition, and re-
ferred to the cue" In the matter of Marrow "11 Craig and
Phillips), a decision of his lordship's in 1841. He contended
that there was no ground in this case for departing from the
established practice of making the mortgagor pay all the
eons of re-conveyance.—The Lord Chancellor, after look-
ing into the reports of the two cues, "Ex paste Richards,"
said it was a clear authority for payment out of the lunatic's
estates of such costs as were necessary to put his committee
M a position to recoovey, and that win all that was naked
here by the representatives if the mortgagor.
VARTY O. DUNCAN.—NEw TRIAL—MISTAXE.,—This was
an appeal from the Vice-Cbancellor of England, and was
argued for the appellant by Mr. Cooper and Mr. Walker.
The facts appeared to be these: The defendant Duncan,
residing in the lower part of Villiers-street, Strand, felled or
dipped some of the trees upon the terrace which runs at the
cad of the street. The plaintiffs, claiming to be commis-
skaters of the terrace, filed a bill to restrain the defendant,
who, upon the motion for the injunction, denied their title of
commissioners. An issue to try that title was directed by
the Vice-Chancellor; and upon a motion afterwards for a
new trial of the same issue, bis Honour granting it, put the
plaintiffs on terms to give notice of the new trial by a cer-
tain day, otherwise the issue to be taken pro confesso for the
defendant. The plaintiffs' solicitors' common law clerk-for-
got to give the notice on the proper day, but application
was immediately made to the defendant to accept
the notice for the next day with payment of
coots by the plaintiffs. The defendant refused, and
thereupon the plaintiffs applied to the Vice-Chancellor for
an order that the new trial might be had on the plaintiffs
paying costs. The defendant, at the same time, moved his
Honour to make the order to take the issue, pro contain.;
upon his motion the Vice Chancellor made no order, but
he made the order for the new trial taking place. The de-
fendant appealed.
The Lord Chancellor, without hearing Mr. Bethell and
other counsel, who appeared for the phuntiffs, dismissed the
--sal with costs, and affirmed the Vice-Chancellor's order.

Before the riee-Chaneeller of IB3gland.
LANGSTON O. COZENO.—CVATODY OP AN larraiter.—The
petitioner in this cue, Mr. Langston, had been residing sepa-
rately from his wife for some time put, and an order had
been made by the court that the only child of the marriage,
• sou 12 years of age, should remain under the care of his
father, who was keeping a school. The son had lately gone
off of his own accord to visit his mother, who, finding that
her son was in an ill state of ttealth, kept him with her for
several weeks, upon which the father presented this petition,
praying that the son might be delivered over to him, and
that his wife might be ordered to pay the expellees occa-
sioned by her detaining the child, out of her separate pro-
, party.—Mr. Roe and Mr. Ifoere appeared in support of the
petition; and Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Lake Russell contrl.—
The Vice-Chancellor said he should like to see the child
himself, and ascertain whether he was desirous of living
with the father or the mother. In a case which had lately
come before the court, where a boy wu between twelve amid
fourteen year. of age, he had been of opinion that the
wishes of the child should be consulted. The Vice-Chan-
cellor, after having seen the be and conversed with him,
said he should direct that the child should remain with the
mother until further order, and he should make no order se
to coots.

Before Vice-Chancellor &sight Brune.
GREEN V. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.—
MOTION POE SEQUESTRATION AGAINST CONYAN Y.—Mr.
Swenston and Mr. Smythe, on behalf of the plaintiff, moved
for a sequestration against the Eastern Counties Railway
Company, for an alleged breach of an injunction which had
issued to restrain the company from taking possession of, or
using in any manner, the lands of the plaintiff in the bill
mentioned. In rapport of the motion, a verified plan was
produced to show that the company bad diverted the course
of a branch of the river Lee, which formed the boundary of
the plaintiff's land, and had actually entered upon the land,
contrary to the injunction. This, however, was controverted
by the affidavits filed on behalf of the company, which de-
posed to the correctness of another plan, representing dif-
ferently the land in question, with rellerenoe to the line of
railway.—The Vios.Chancellor asked Xr. Grove, who ap-
ea behalf of the eanwpraul=lott to the mo-
usy the to ecomat to
the messy Shindy I rate court by the esompeny, to the
anent of one of the plaintiffs, emovratfas to 3,1201., being
transferred to the credit of the eimee, and would pay
a farther sum of 6001. to the same account, with-
out prejudice to any question which was between
the parties; and on Mr. Grove acceding to this mires-
tion, his Honour said that, although he bad formed en opi-
nion on the case, so far as he could do so without hearing
eounself on behalf of the company, it was not necessary,
under the circumstances, to decide whether the injunction
had been violated or not--a question which might be said to
be subject to some doubt. As the company had acceded to
the suggestion of the court, it would be sufficient to refuse
the motron, saying nothing as to the costa.

COURT OF REVIEW.
Ex PARTS MCLLOR, is HORINSON.—WICETHIIIL I & 2
V lei., c. 110, e. 8, re ILILPEALID la 5 & 6 , c. 122,
s. 11 t—Mr. fitnale applied to the court to have a fiat trans-
ferred fro. Mr. Commissioner Ayrton to Mr Commissioner
West. The former learned oommissioner declined edjudi-
' eating that en act of bankruptcy had been committed, on
the ground that the Bth section of 1 & 110, on
which the alleged act of bankruptcy was founded, was re-
pealed by the 5 & 6 Viet., C. 122, s. 11.—The Chief Judge.
after relerring to the acts, and to a case " Ex parte Cheese,"
(3 Montage, Deacon and De Ger, 79), declined givieg any
opinion on the point, but thought it reasonable that the
petitioning creditor should be allowed the opportunity of
taking the opinion of another commissioner; smith Honour
directed the transfer of the fiat to Mr. Commissioner West.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Ur. Conunimioner llotroyd.
IN HE JAMEBOIIIBB.—A. MONEY SCRIVENER.—This was
a meeting for the declaration of a dividend in the cue of this
bankrupt, who was the well-known money scrivener of
Jermyn-street, St. James's, who failed in the year 1813 fora
large amount, and the proceedings in whose case have been
fully reported from time to time as they occurred. A small
amount of dividend has already been paid, leaving about
1,8004. then in band, and a further dividend of about Eel.
in the pound will be officially announced in the course of a
few days.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Caornme, Avo. 4.
Before Baron Parke sad • common jury.
BRADLEY o. Fianna. —A. LEOAL Mammy. This
was an action of trover to recover some furniture that
bad been taken from the house of the plaintiff by the de-
fendant, under circumstances of a rather extraordinary cha-
racter. The defendant is a furniture dealer in the City, and
the plaintiff had purchased different articles of furniture from
him to the amount of 1081. The defendant, finding he could
not get paid for his goods, and it appearing that the circum-
stunts of the plaintiff were in rather an embarrassed state,
went with some other persons, and forcibly re-possessed
himself of his property, and it was in consequence of this
proceeding that the present action wu brought by the
plaintiff to regain possession of the furniture in question.
The jury, acting under the direction of hie lordship, who
said that in law the defendant was not justified in acting as
ke did under the circumstances, and that his proper remedy
was to have brought an action for the amount of his debt,
found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1081, that bring the
alleged value of the furniture, with the understanding that
the nominal verdict would be recorded upon the defendant
delivering op the property.
BRADLEY R. FISHER AND OTHILELS.—This was an action
of trespass brought by the same plaintiff; and arising out of
the same transaction, against the defendant and the persons
who assisted in removing the goods. The trespass being
proved, the jury returned • verdict for the paintitl,
damages 40s.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bonstne, AVOUST 2.
Caows Cousx.—Before Chief Justice %Vittle.
Color Te 11.243, one of the prisoners con.
victed on Saturday last of a riot at St. Austell, was this
morning indicted for assaulting Edward Stephens, Esq., a
magistrate, during the riots at Wadebridge, on the 12th May
last. It may bo recollected, that a considerable number of
people assembled together in the town of Wadebridge, for
the purpose of preventing the shipping of corn from that
place. The conduct of the mob was of so violent and riotous
a character, that the magistrates were compelled to interfere.
The prosecutor was himself taking an active part in the en-
deavour to quell the disturbance, when he received a blow in
the eye from the prisoner, who was amongst the foremost of
the notes. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sen-
tence-18 months' imprisonment. The prisoner and the
other nine men who were convicted of the riot at St.
Austell, were then brought up to receive sentence
for that offence.—The Chief Justice addressed the prisoners
in the most earnest and emahatic language upon the great
impropriety of their conduct, and adjudged them to punish-
ment as follows : Charles Fault and Richard Kestall (as the
ringleaders), to 2 sears' Imprisonment ; John Cock (the
man who harangued the multitude and incited them to acts
of violence in order to procure the liberation of those whom
the constables had seized), 18 months ; Matthew Roberts
(the man who struck the high sheriff), 18 months ; William
Hancock, 12 months ; Joseph Hare and William Bunt,
9 months ' • Philip Matthews and Jobn Payne, 6 months ;
and Wm.Tellam, 9 months (in addition to the sentence
passed upon him in the other cue). The remaining six pri-
soners were ordered to be discharged.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLTSLE, Aram 3.
The Chief Baron Pollock and Mr. Justice Wightman ar-
rived in this city from Newcastle yesterday afternoon, and,
after opening the commission, proceeded to Rose Castle,
where they dined with the Bishop of Carlisle. This morn-
lug they attended divine service at the cathedral, where a
sermon was preached by the chaplain to the high sheriff,
the Rev. Hugh Parkinson, Principal of St. Bees and Canon
of Manchester. The business of the assizes commenced at
12 o'clock, the Chief Baron presiding in the Criminal Court,
and Mr. Justice Wightman at Nisi Prins. The calendar is
unusually light as regards the number of prisoners, and,
generally spooking, the nature of the offences,—the only ex-
ception being the charge of poisoning his wife against John
Thompson. The cause list is also unusually light. When
this despatch was sealed, no case of public interest on either
the civil or criminal side had been called.

POLICE YESTERDAY.
GUILDHALL.—Tae HEIR.AT-LAW SOCIETY.—On
Tuesday Mr. Geo. floss, the manager of the Heir-at-Law So
ciety, attended before Sir P. Laurie, to answer the charge of
obtaining money from certain individuals, by pretending
that there was a sum of 220,000/. divisible amongst those
who could show their affinity to Charles Barber, who died
in Calcutta in August, 1809, there being, in fact, it was al-
leged, no such fund for division. Mr. Barber was the head
of -a great East India agency house, known u Cockerel),
Palmer, and Co.—Mr. Pekin stated that, after two or three
calls, having in the meantime consulted Tarimx members of
his family in different parts of England, he asked Mr. Roes
what the capsule of employing the society to recover the
money would be ? He replied, " Our charge is twenty per
' cent." He said they would have to file a bill in Chancery
against the executors, and that 21. 4s. 6d. must be paid for
counsel's opinion on the case, and 201. for filing the bill, but
four persons would be made parties to it, and each would
therefore have only 51. to pay.—Mr. Simmons, clerk to
Messrs. Hall and Brown, of Boswell-court, said they were
solicitors to the executors, and had filed a bill in Chancery
for distribution. The whole assets of Charles Barber were
administered, and distributed under the direction of the
court. The only sum remaining in the hands of the ac-
countant was 501., which was allotted to some one who did
not live long enough to receive his share, and whose repre-
sentatives had not made any claim. Speaking front memory
of what had occurred forty years ago, be thought the tutamo
sou 50,0001.—Mr. Horry, for Mr. Ross, said, 00/.mained yet due. The executors might be ignorant of
it, but tke deceased had property to that amount,
which was not brought into account, which remained
in wrong hands, and which it was just and proper
the society should procure for the next of kin.—
Sir Peter Laurie said it appeared to him that the society
bad deluded the poor man by holding out to him a chant.
of participating in an immense sum of money.—Mr. Horny
said he was not a deluded but a discontented man. He had
paid for an opinion and a subscription towards a bill. He
had had the opinion, and the bill was prepared. (Mr. Horny
produced it.) If the representations were untrue it was the
complainant himself who had made them. There was a fund
of 70,0001. yet untouched.—Mr. Champ submitted that his
client was told that the bill had then actually been filed, and
would be heard next day at Westminster. Several of the
parties went there next day, and were met by some parties
from the Heir-at-law Society, who said the cause was No. 2,
but that No. 1 would probably occupy the whole day. The
bill was still unified. The 51. so obtained had been scraped
together by a subscription of tea shillings each from a num-
ber of poor people, who were driven to extreme shifts to raise
it.—Sir Peter Laurie said if he made out that case, he should
have no hesitation in sending the case to trial; but he would
adjourn the further hearing on that point till Thursday.
BOW-STREET.—FORD .&Y IN SOMERSET-ROVER.
Wiilians
Gales, the chief clerk in the property-tax depart-
ment, Somerset-house. was re-examined, charged with
lining a receipt for 1371.—Mr. Lawford, secretary to the
drapers' company, said that the document produced was a
warrant for the repayment of 1371. to him, on behalf of the
draper's company, for property and income-tax paid by
them, they being exempt by the Property-tax Act from that
impost. At the end of the document was what purported to
be his receipt for the sum in question (1371.) by him on be-
half of the company. It was not in his handwriting, nor had
he &adsorbed any one to sign it. He had never received any
such rum. Mr. Grant, a clerk in the property-tax depart-
ment, Somerset-house, said that it was his duty to register
all claims for repayment of property and income-tie to
charitable institutions. They were registered by him on
being first received, and afterwards, if admitted, they were
filled up by other clerks in the office, and left there to be
paid on application. He bad never registered the claim re-
ferred to in the document produced. This warrant was filled
up in the prisoner's handwriting, and not in that of either of
the clerks who usually filled up such warrants. lie be-
lieved the signature purporting to be that of Mr. Lawford
was in Mr. Gates's hand, but he could not undertake to
swear to it positively. Mr. J. Fuller, special commissioner
of property and income tax, said that he presided over
the department in which in the ordinary course the docu-
ment in question would have been made. The document
purported to be signed by him as having allowed the claim.
The signature was certainly, very like his own, and he could not
swear that it was not genuine. Indeed, if he had seen it on
any other document he would have admitted it at once ; but
knowing the document to be fabricated, he was disposed to
believe that the signature was a forgery. If (genuine, it
must have been obtained upon a false representation that the
claim had been made, and was a just one. That representa-
tion must have been made by Mr. Gates. He had no recol-
lection of signing such a document.—Mr. Ray, a clerk in
the office of the Reeeiver•General of Stamps and Taxes,
Somerset-house, said that be paid the sum of 1371. to Mr.
Gates on the 7th of April. He gave it to him in payment
of the order in question upon his representatioa that Mr.
Lawford was waiting for the money in another part of the
building.—After some further evidence, the prisoner, who as
yet has offered no defence, was again remanded till this day
week.
MARLBOROUGH STREET. ROBBIRY AND AT
TEMPT AT MORDER.—Clarks Polling: was charged with
having attempted to commit robbery. Myers Ty, in
the employ of Mr. Jackson, watchmaker, Oxford-street,
stated that the prisoner came into the shop and asked to
have some gold watches sent to the Boar and Castle
Hotel, Oxford-street. Witness took several gold watches to
the Boar and Castle, and was shown up into a bedroom by
the prisoner. The prisoner then went into the next room,

and requested witness to follow hint Into the room where his
father was. Witness was abort going Into another room,
when he suddenly received a blow on the head from what he
afterwards ascertained was a life preserver. The blow was
repeated; he struggled with the prisoner, and called fur as-
sistance.—William Young, waiter at the Boar and Castle,
said he heard the cry of murder, ran up stairs sod
assisted the last witness in securing the prisoner. The pri-
soner had called that morning at the hotel, and had engaged

A MODERN ROMANCE.— Leoline de Villain, a handsome
young French girl, dressed in full Opera costume, was sum-
moned before Mr. Hardwick, by Benjamin Ellam, fur detain-
ing his portrait, his velvet cop, his two walking-canes, his
ring, and his silk handkerchieL—The complainant, a short
person, of very juvenile and simple appeaearce, stated that
one Sunday a friend and himself were taking a stroll down
Regent-street, when they met the defendant and her sister,
who nodded to them. Not understanding French himself,
be deputed his friend to do the introductory part of the
business, and the young ladies suffered himself and friend to
see them to their residence, with permission to call the next
evening. The complainant said he took counsel with his friend
on the subject, and they came to the unanimous conclusion
that their new acquaintances were girls of unblemished
character, distinguished birth, and very possibly of large for-
tune. Complainant and his friend kept their appointment,
and in the course of their visit Mdle. Leoline was obliging
enough to communicate • few particulars of her private
history. Her companion was her sister Esther. They were
daughters of Count de Villars, whose estate was the castle
of the Isle of Bonn. They had resolved to emancipate them-
selves from the harshness of parental control--bad made
their escape from the paternal castle—had found their way
to England, and bad taken a house for five years, intending
to lead a pore and lively life in London on the 2001. •
quarter which they each possessed. The complainant told
the magistrate it did mike him as rather singular that two
young girls should take a house for five years under such
circumstances; but he attributed their determination to their
French breeding, and to their want of knowledge of the pro-
prieties of English high life. The warmth of his recepion
that evening induced him to entreat for another interview.
This was granted, and on his arrival in Foley-place with his
!fiend, mademoiselle came down stairs splendidly dressed,
but seemingly in a state of despondency. He entreated his
friend to inquire the reason of her melancholy. She refused
to say at first, but at last was prevailed on to state that for
want of a sum of 351. to pay fur duty, their valuable goods
were detained at the Custom-house. Complainant said he
spoke to his fiiend on this ticklish subject, and expressed hie
doubt about being able to raise such a large sum of money.
His friend told him he would get 201., and then complainant
undertook to get 151. from his friends. The money was gut
together, and he went the next day with Mdlle. Leoline
and her eider to the Custom-house, and paid 3.5/. on
account of duty. Complainant stated that he saw some
cases afterwards come from the Custom-house, which he
was told contained the valuable property which had been
detained fur the duty. Immediately after this little affair
he found Mettle. Leoline again in a state of despondency,
which could only be alleviated by his advancing
251. to paint and decorate the house so u to enable
her and her *liter to receive his friend and him-
self in that distinguished manner to which his merits en-
titled him. Complainant stated that bis suspicions began
somewhat to be roused, and he laid • plan with his friend
to ascertain, if possible, the true character of the ladies
who were drawing ea largely on their resources. They dis-
guised themselves and watched the house in Fo!cy-
place. About eleven o'clock at night, the two
ladies came tut and took their way towards Regent-1
street. The parties who were dogging their steps
soon returned with information which at once dispelled all
doubt. Complainant said that this discovery put him in
possession at once of the perfidy with which he had bean
treated. Ile sent at once to demand his property, but he
was unsuccessful, and lie therefore resorted to a summons.
—Mademoiselle Leoline addressed the magistrate with a
short statement of the matter in French.—A person
named Delusan, who said he was landlord of the house
in Foley-place, undertook to put the court in posessokm
of the whole particulars. The fact was, that the lOW
plainant Ellam and his friend met the two young French
ladies in Regent-street one evening, and the complainant
Ellam introduced himself as the nephew of the Duke of
Weliington, and as holding the rank of commander of
the Queen's Guards. In order to prove his assertion',
he took Mademoiselle Leoline to the Horse Guards,
gave her champagne there, and made her sit down in
what he called the Queen's seat. He (complainant) pro-
fessed violent love for Mademoiselle Leoline. He gave her
at different times various presents, but on the discovery that
he was only a shopman the acquaintance was put an end to.
The complaisant now wanted to get back the gifts he had
offered as tokens of affection. Madlle. Leoline declared that
what had been stated was true. The complainant had Mated
that he was related to the Duke of Wellington, and be had
taken her to some rooms in the Horse Guards, which
he said was his noble relative's rooms, and bad there
placed her in the queen's chair, and treated her to
champagne. Mr. Hardwick, referring to the catalogue
of items which the complainant wished to recover,
asked bim if he had ever sent the young lady his picture.
Tho complainant admitted that he had sent her his por-
trait, but it was sot a gift. —Mr. Hardwick asked him how
the young lady got possession of his ring.—Complainant
Why, she took it off my finger one night, and said she would
wear it for my sake.—Mr. Hardwick And your velvet
smoking cap ?—Complainant : She took it off my head
another night, and said she would keep it for my sake.—
Mr. Hardwick And your cane ?—Complainant: She would
not let me take it away; as she said, if I did, I would not
come the next night; but I did come with another cane, and
she kept that too, under the same pretence, which I thought
was very odd.—Mr. Hardwick And your silk handkerchief ?
—Complainant That she kept, too, as she wanted some-
thing to remember me by. The handkerchief was round
something that I sent to her. Mr. Hardwick: What ere
you ? Defendant : lam in the employ of Messrs. Swain
and Co., whip-makers, Piccadilly. The male friend of
the defendant here stated that he had called on Messrs.
Swain and Co., sad had received a note from one of
the partners to the effect that the two canes were to
be detained, as they were believed to be Mews. Swain's
property, and that the masters of the complainant desired to
examine more minutely into the affair. The complainant
was shown this note. He admitted it was from his em-
ployers, but he said he had no doubt he would be able to
clear up matters satisfactorily. He wi-hed for the magistrate
to remand the case until his solicitor could attend. Mr.
Hardwick did net see there was any real necessity for a re-
mend. As far as the canes were concerned, the neta of
Messrs. Swain and Co. disposed of that part of the business.
The portrait, the ring, the handkerchief, and the smoking
can appeared to him to have been given as pledges of nova,
and he did not, therefore, feel justified in ordering than to
be restored. The evidence showed that the parties had ri-
tually attempted to deceive each other. The defendant had
represented herself to be some princess or countess, and the
complainant had endeavoured to pass himself off as a relative
of a distinguished family. Both parties bad been mutually
deceived, and as under all circumstances he did not feel
himself justified in calling on the defeadant to restore the
property, he should dismiss the summons.
CLERK ENWELL.—ATTEMPIED MURDER AND .1 EA-
Lousy. William Pier was charged with having at-
tempted to murder William Lucas, whose life is placed in
danger.—A policeman depo,ed that, on Tuesday morning,
about two o'clock,he received information that a man had
been stabbed on Back-hill, near Hattoc-garden. He went
and found a man bleeding from a wound in his aide, and he
ascertained that the prisoner had inflicted the wound with •
knife. • He apprehended him, when he did not deny the
charge. Ho said that on the nigbt before he went to bed
comfortably with his wife and she got up while be was
asleep and went out. On awaking and miming her he got
up, dressed himself, and went to look after her, and after
watching for some time he saw her is Backhill with
William Lucas. They treated him with levity and insult,
when he (prisoner) took a knife from his pocket and stabbed
Lucas. itness caused Lucas to be taken to the hospital,
where the wound was dressed. The prisoner told witness
that his wife had carried on an illicit intercourse w ith Lucas,
and he had found her with him several times. Witness
produced a surgeon's certificate describing the nature of the
wound and pronouncing Lucas to be in great danger.—The
prisoner, who did not deny the charge, repeated the account
given by the policeman of the conduct of his wife.—Mr.
Nevin said he knew the prisoner, who had been in his
employ, to be a quiet, industrious mac, who had been
grossly abused and injured by Lucas. Be had seduced the
affections of the prisoner's wife, and some time ago he proved
the criminality of their interoourse.—The prisoner was
remanded.

LINCIAK...—ASSAPLT we A SOLDIER..-- Josiah
Thompson, a private in the Ist battalion of Grenadier
Guards. was charged with a series of violent assaults.
The defendant, and a woman with whom he had been
drinking all the evening, had an altercation at about 10 on
Tumidity night, when the defendant kicked her in a very
brutal manner, and hurt her ankle en much that it was
found necessary to take her to the hospital. When taken
into custody defendant resisted with great violence, and
repeatedly kicked and struck the officer. A second mutable
came up, and he also was much ill-treated by the defendant,
and it ultimately required five or six constables to convey
him to the station. 'Defendant and the woman were both
druni.—Defendant, in answer to the charge, complained of
some in-treatment he bad received from the woman, and
said he did not remember assaulting the constables, as he
was very drunk. If he had done so, he was sorry.—Mr.
Burrell committed the prisoner for two months, without
' imposing any fine.
ROBBING A PARENT.— Thomas Foley, a boy between 15
and 16 years, was finally examined, charged with plun-
dering his father of property of considerable value. The
prisoner has for the last three or four years been re-
peatedly in the habit of robbing his father. On the 14th of
June the father discovered that some boxes and drawers had
been broken open in his house, and that some silver spoons,
a silver milk-pot, a time-piece, and a number of other
articles had been stolen. The prisoner, who had absconded
before the robbery was discovered, returned in the course of
a few days, and having orin plundered his father was
given into custody. The prisoner was drunk at the time the
officer apprehended him, and admitted the robbery, atm*
that he bed sold the property.--The prisoner, who treated
the matter with the utmost indifference, and made no reply
to the charge, was fully committed for ial.
WOOLWICH.—EMBEZZLEMENT OPOOVERNEEICE STORES
FIIO3I WOOLWICH DOCKTARD.—John Crown, Wm. Hunisond,
and Richard Adams, in the employ of Mr. Warren, the esa-
tractor for removing the ashes from her Majeety'e stem-
vessels lying off the dockyard, were charged with the en-
lawful possession of 86Ibs. of lashings and clesilines,92lbs. of
canvass, 11 llbs. of rope, and other articles, marked with the
government mark, which they received from her Majesty's
steamer Spiteful, paid off on Friday last. William Kendall,
a private of the royal marines, deposed, that he was on

sentry on Friday evening, June 30, in the dockyard, and
observed the three prisoners coming from the Spiteful with
a quantity of starts in a boat; the articles now produced
he saw them take out of the boat and deposit in a terse
belonging to Mr. Warren.—Police-sergeant G. Glaseock, 2.5
R, deposed, that he searched the barge, and found the arti-
cles now produced, concealed under the !Wm.—Mr. Jeremy
said that the parties who threw the stores from the Spiteful
into the boat were the most guilty parties ; it was clear that
the stores had been put into the boat by the men of the
Spiteful.—The prisoners were folly committed for trial.

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY_ETINI2IO.

The bill day, so far as can be learned at present,
has passed over without any known casualty of more
serious import than a flying report or so, unsubstan-
tiated. This result seems to come in confirmation of
the statement that this would be by no means a heavy
bill day. Money was, however, much in demand at
unabated rates.
The funds, in the earlier stage of the market this
morning, remained without alteration at the closing
prices of yesterday. Business was partially sus-
pended for a time. But towards the afternoon
the sales of consols re-commenced, and considerable
parcels were done, both for money and the account,
although not by parties of such a leading position as
on that score to influence the market. From 884 to
for account, and 884 to for money, consols were
reduced by the sellers to 87? for money, and 884 to
for account. The present state of the money market,
and its unpromising prospects according to general
opinion for some time to come, are the causes most
patent on the surface for this downward deter-
mination in funded values. The continuous stream
of sales of money stock for the last fortnight,
succeeded by the more heavy and important
sales of the present week, appear to have rather
inconveniently loaded even the more wealthy
dealers who have been the chief purchasers, not how-
ever with a view to investment, as their business is
simply that of buying in the cheapest and selling in
the dearest market. There can be no question that
such dealings, skilfully conducted as they generally
are, yield their fair returns, but the most practised
and sagacious of dealers may occasionally fall into
miscalculations. No particular injury may however
be suffered, as such parties are in general substan-
tially qualified to hold what they buy, and therefore
with securities bearing interest the while, the ultimate
profit, as between purchase and sale price, can be
better waited for as a matter of time merely. As a
fact within our own knowledge, which tends to show
the quantity of stock recently thrown upon, and now
rather encumbering, the market, it may be stated
that some of the most powerful assurance offices have
recently had occasion to sell out to meet heavy claims
upon them from death casualties. One office alone
might be named which has had to disburse, and sell
stock for, some 50,000/. on this account ; and instances
of 20,0001. and less sums to be realised by other
officeswith &similar destination have not been wanting.
It will thus be better understood how the stock
market may be overstocked with funded values, and
why, irrespective of other and more speculative
causes, prices in consequence become so sensitive as to
decline upon adverse demonstrations of otherwise not
very material import. There are, of course, other and
graver causes more in the background, and not quite
so prominent to view, that appear to weigh against
any present recovery of or improvement in funded
values, but as they have been adverted to heretofore
they need not be repeated here. It is sufficient to
show that internally the state of the stock market
itself is such as fully to account for the depression now
prevailing. It may be observed here that the Bank of
England, although strictly holding its line in respect
of loans and discounts, based upon certain descriptions
of securities, waits with its accustomed liberality,
accompanied with discrimination, upon the wants of
regular and legitimate trade.
Reduced Three per Cents. left off 884 to 7. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 904 to t. Long Annuities,
9 1-16 to 4. Bank Stock, 196 to 8. India Stock, 243
to 5. Exchequer Bills, ss. to Bs. premium. India
Bonds, 5 discount to 5 premium, small and large
bills. The tightness of money has naturally induced
sales of Exchequer' Bills and India bonds by holders, '
either for the purpose of raising funds to meet their
own engagements, or to employ them more advan-
, tsgeously in the stock or discount market, where
money can be used so much more advantageously.
The dealings in foreign stocks were upon a very
small scale, as may be seen from the official list where
so few are recorded. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. were heavy at the depressed rates of Mita 7 ;
the Fours at 891 to 90. Conjectures are afloat, from
this rather sudden decline in Dutch stocks, combined
with the presence of certain parties here from Hol-
land, known of old to be connected with financial
transactions, that a loan operation for that country
may be in agitation. From the official exhibit of
Dutch finances, which show a sufficiently prosperous
condition, no affair of the kind should however seem
Ito be necessary or in contemplation, although it is
not impossible that the food question may have created
there, as here and elsewhere, some derangement in
expenditure, which could not be brought into the
regular budget, because not exactly foreseen ; or, if
isemen, the extent of it not capable of being mea-
sued. Spanish Fives were called 211 to 2 ; the
Threes, 301 to 14. Portuguese, 301 to 14. Mexican,
181 to 19.
Considering the insolent and menacing language of
the Spanish papers, those of the government and the
opposition as well, towards the bondholders and their
committee, and Lord Palmerston, it is surprising that,
vile as the prices of Spanish securities are, they are
not lower still. Upon this subject some observations
may be offered to-morrow.
