EQUITY COURTS.--YEISTRISDAT.
Before the lord Chancellor.
Its as DTCB SOILBISB.—LUNACT.--Mr. Holt concluded
his reply is this matter this morning. The objects of
the petition, presented on behalf of the lunatic, have been
siready stated in this paper. The learned counsel contended
Slat it was quite clear front the evidence, as well as from the
report of Dn. Southey and Bright, that great improvement
had taken plate in the petitioner's state of mind, and in his
health ; and that this improvement was owing to
Merest
ence abroad,and absence from there exciting canoes of
irritation which existed while he resided in this country near
his wife and her associates. He therefore trusted the
Lord Chancellor would approve of his continuing to re-
side abroad, and order the full allowance of 5,0001.
a year to be paid to himself, by weekly payments, if nese*.
wry, bet without the intervention of any person. The gen-
Seises who had been employed to watch the lunatic abroad
abandoned that office es impracticable. Another proposition
which the lunatic submitted to the court was, that his pre-
sent solicitor, in whom he placed confidence, might be pre-
sent at the taking of the committee's accounts before the
master. He oleo hoped that the balance of the 5,000 i. a
yew, vrhieh wee allowed to him by the existing order, might
he paid to Yin, or applied to pay any debts that he had pro-
perly incurred; and he further prayed that certain articles,
se his cab and some books, now in the hands of his commit-
tee, might be delivered to him.
The Lord Chancellor, in the course of the reply, said the
principle on which the court proceeds in matters of this seri
us not to exercise any power over a lunatic, except what may
Ise for his protection and benefit And at the close of it
his lordship said he would read the affidavits before he came
le any conclusion, and he would also submit to Drs. Southey
and Bright those affidavits, relating to the lunatic's conduct
subsequent to their examination of him at Dover, and take
Steyr 015.105 upon them. With respect to the petition and
scheme spokes of by the counsel for the committee of the
person for restricting the lunatic, that would be matter for
separate eonsideration, when that petition shall be presented.

the name of the defendant, Mr. Joseph Norton' appeared as

been at that 'time no scrip issued, Mr. Norton directed
the plaintiffs, who were sharebrokers, at Leeds, to buy
lim 380 shares in the above company, which they did, and
delivered to him the usual bought notes, but no money
passed. Ceseurrently with the above project, there were
also two other projects for railways in West Yorkshire,called
the West Riding Junction Railway, and the West Yorkshire
Railway, cad in July, 1845, the Manchester and Leeds

Company,Mr.Norton ordered the plaintiffs to cell the 380 shares

the price at which they had purchased them, after deducting
commission. Mr. Norton subsequently brought an action in
the exchequer against the plaintiffs, for recovery of the
11321., stating the contract to have been, that in considera-
tion of their commission the plaintiffs agreed to pay him the
difference of the prices on themle and purchase of the shares.
The plaintiffs pleaded non assuanwit, and also fraud, on the
part of the defendant. A verdict was obtained by the
defendant for the whole amount, and the plaintiffs filed this
bill to restrain execution. They obtained an injunction,
and the answer having been filed, Messrs. Turner and
Elmsley now showed cause against dissolving the injunction
on ments disclosed by the answer. They contended that the
defendant, being one of the provisional committeemen of the
Huddersfield Company, had, by his own act, disabled
the plaintiffs from performing thi it contract. By
the amalgamation the Huddersfield Company was put
an end to, and the subject matter of the contract
for shares in that company, destroyed. The plain-
nth were not able to deliver Huddersfield scrip to the
parties purchasing from them the scrip issued in Octo-
ber, being virtually Wet Riding Union or Manchester and
Leeds scrip. The agreement of the 3rd August was a fraud
on the plaintiffs to which the defendant was a party ; and in
the action the plaintiffs could not bring the question of fraud
before the jury, a court of equity being the only court capable
of investigating and giving relief as to it. Messrs. Kinder-
sley and Ragshawe, for Mr. Norton, denied that he had any
knowledge of the agreement of the 3rd August, when he
ordered the shares to be sold; and insisted that if the plain-
tiffs had any defence on the ground of fraud, they might
have bad the benefit of it in the action.
The Master of the Rolls said, that as courts of law
admitted rights to arise out of such contracts as this,
this court was hound to assume that they were legal, though
the subjects of them were non-existent, and the companies
not incorporated. Such was the law, and this court mint
recognise it. But courts of equity would not deal with
transactions of this sort, but would leave them to courts of
law which had recognised them ; et law the contract was
considered to be for the difference between the prices of sale
and purchase. If there was any fraud, he was satisfied the
court of law could have get at it. There was no equity in
the answer to interfere against his legal right. If the plain-
tiffs thought they had any equity, they might go on with the
suit, and get the money back, but he would not decide now
whether they had such equity, and he should dissolve the

STE BB N @ e. KRATINO. —INJUNCTION fo RESTRAIN THII
lIPICINOSUBST OP • PATENT POB MAKING CEMENT.—
Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Follett moved for an injunction in this
cam to restrain the defendant from infringing a patent ob-
tained by the plaintiff for the manufacture of cement ca-
pable of receiving a polish, and being used in the formation
of imitation marbles and various other building purposes,
The plaintiff first took out ktters patent in October, 1834,
and claimed by kis specification the production of certain
hard cements by the use of gypsum either in its natural state
or in its manufactured state of plaster of Paris, or limestone,
or chalk, or lime, first reduced into pawder and then mixed
with a solution of any strong alkali, neutralised by means
of an acid, preferring for the purpose the use of American
peatlash and sulphunc acid, but claiming all such other alkalies
and acids as would answer the purpose, and that water
should be added to the mixture till it attained a consistence
or state suitable for moulding into cakes, or bricks, or other 1
firms, which were to be afterwards dried and burnt in
manner there described. The plaintiff suhsequentty,h, June,
1440, obtained mother ;atm% and etaoned 'by his specifica-
tion the use of 'solid and acids, or eras ins state of
solid combination with ether substances, se pyrites and
mineral sulphate for example, or sulphur by itself, or some
solid compound containing both an acid and an alkali, as
alum, or some mixture of two or more of the said similar in-
gredients. The defendant obtained a patent in February,
1846, for the manufacture of cement like that invented by
the plaintiff, and made precisely in the same way, but claim-
ing, by his specification, the combination of gypsum
with borax. The defendant stated that he was
aware that cements had been made from gypsum,
or other calcareous substance, by combining these with acids,
alkalies, and also with alum, and the same kad been after-
wards calcined; and he mentioned these in order to state
that be had found the use of borax peculiarly applicable in
the making of cement when combined with gypsum. For
the motion it was contended that the use of borax, combined
with gypsum, according to the specification of the defendant's
pat"nt was an infritmement of the patent obtained by the
plaintiff who claimed the use, not only of all acids and alkalies
but also any substance in which the two were combined and
actually giving as an instance the substance called alum.
It was also contended that the plaintiffs patent having
existed for so long a period must be emaidered good,
and that he was therefore entitled to the injunction.
Mr. Stuart, Mr. Hibbert, and Mr. Webster, for the defend-
ant, contended that the plaintiff's specification wan too ex-
tensive, and that the defendant, by discovering the use of
borax, bad been able to make a much better cement than
any which could be obtained from the use of alum or any
other substance coming within the description in the plain-
tiff's letters patent.
The Vice-Chancellor said it did not appear that there bad
been say dispute respecting the plaintiff's patent, which had
been taken out many years ago, until last February. He
was clearly of opinion that if the original patent was good,
there had been an infringement of it by the defendant ; but
whether the defendant's patent was good as opposed to that
of the plaintiff was a question which must be decided by a
court of law. His honour thought that where a patent had
been taken out so long ago, and dealt with up to the present
time, it was not to be set aside after twelve years merely
because some objection might be raised to the validity of the
language used in the plaintiff's specification. He considered
there had been such a prim& facie establishment of the plain-
tiff's right that an injunction might to be granted, but, atthe
same time, the plaintiff mint be put upon terms to bring an
action at law to try the question as to the validity of the patent

PRINOLB P. SMITIL—RACTIFICATION OP LBASE Ott
THE GROUND oe uterrana.—Hie Honour delivered judg-
ment in this case, which was argued on Thursday last by
Mr. Wood and Mr. Hare for the plaintiff, and by Mr.
Hominy and Mr. Hitchcock for the defendant. The futa
were as follow :—ln November, 1837, the defendant became
tenant, at a rent of 1101., under an agreement for a lease for
21 wears determinable at his option at the expiration of the
first 7 or 14 years, of the house, No. 44, Rerun-street.
In 1841 the lessor expended a considerable sum of money
in repairs, and in the improvement of the premises, in consi-
deration of which it was agreed, by parol between the pay-
, ties, that 251. a year should be added to the rent reserved in
the original agreement. In 1842 the lessor died, the in-
creased rent having been regularly paid by the defendant in
the interval. In 1843, the plaintiff, who had succeeded to
the reversionary interest in the premises, became desirous of
haring a lease executed, in conformity with the parol
agreement; and, for the purpose of preparing such lease,
employed a different eolicitor to the one who had acted in
the transactions relating to the lease fur the lessor. In Oct.,
1843, the plaintiff's solicitor, who was ignorant of the
arrangement of 1841, and had only seen the original agree-
ment of Nov., 1837, applied by letter to the defendant, to
accept a lease at the rent of 1101. only ; and in that letter he
referred to the agreement of Nov., 1837, as the agreement
under which the lease was to be granted. The de-
fendant then proposed to take a lease from the plain-
tiff of ell his remaining interest, about nineteen years
t,
at certain periods. Ultimately that pro
wu agreed to, and on the lath August, 1844, a lean oilhl
entire property for the whole term of 19 years was granted,
at a rent of 1101. only. As the defendant paid his rent from
time to time in mall sums, the mistake which had been
made with regard to the rent reserved wee not discovered
till September, 1845, when the plaintiff's agent, who col-
lected his rent, and knew the truth of the case, demanded
from the defendant the balance due from him as lessee,
treating 1351. ne the amount of the rent reserved. After
some correspondence had taken plats between the parties,
the present bill was filed, the plaintiff insisting that there
was a mistake in the lease, and praying either that the mis-
take might be rectified or the agree went cancelled. The
defendant, by his answer, denied that there was any mis-
take, and insisted that the entire sent had been reduced
by arrangement between himself and the plaintiff.
His honour, at the conclusion iif the argument,
had expressed an opinion that the fact et mistake had been
established ; but had reserved his judge neat as to the kind
of relief to which the plaintiff was entit led. His honour,
with reference to the point renewed, said he thought the
specific relief prayed by the bill could not ,be granted. nis
plaintiff proposed by his prayer to except on t of the lease a
particular put of the property, and to reeery e a rent of 119 E
for the remainder. This, however, would ne be the Use
result of the transaction. The relief to whi b the plaintiff
would be entitled appeared to be either to hat e a less, exe-
mated of the entirety of the premises at a rent 1351•, or to
have the existing lease rescinded ; subject to the question
in the last event whether the defendant would no t be entitled
to be rut in the same situation as if the lease has' either net
been granted at all or had been made determinable at the
end or seven years. Hie honour, after comment Log, with a
view to the question of costs, upon the effect of the corre-
spondence, made the following decree: The defendant, in-
sisting that the bill should be dismissed, but both parties
consenting that, in cue the court should consider that plain-
tiff entitled to any decree, the lease should be rescinded and
the possession of the premises delivered up, decree payment
by the defendant of rent at the rate of 13.. W. and of the costa
of the suit.

HILTON v. LORD GRAN VlLLl.—This was an anion to

to certain houses of the plaintiff,m emosequenee of the
negligent and improper working of • mine, which was the

at Stafford, and • verdict returned for the plaintiff. A

abated. A condition bad been coupled with the rule, to the
effect that no advantage should be taken of the demise of the
defendant, but it was sought, on the other side, to resist the
introduction of this condition, unless tho party in whose
favour it was to be made would undertake to expedite the
proceedings in a Chancery suit, which ia pending, if not pro-

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
sittings in Nom.
ELLIOTT, APPELLANT, V. THE °TWEEZERS 07 ST. MEET
WITHIN, IaIIspoNDS:(III.—REOIETEATION APPRALS.—This
was an appeal from the decision of the revising barrister for
the county of Cumberland, upon the ground that the notice
of claim, in reference to the vote of one Alexander Annan-
dale, bad been improperly addressed, and ought not to have
been received as sufficient under the act of parliament. Mr.
Otter, in support of the appi al, contended that the notice in
question was insufficient. It appeared that there were four
divisions of the parish of St. Mary Within, in the town of
Carlisle. Though popularly called township, they were not
legally es, as each division did not appoint its own overseer.
In the present case the voter sent in his notice of claim to
" the overseers of the township of Scotch-street,"
whereas be ought to have addressed it to " the overseen
of the perish of St. Mary Within." The revising barrister
amended this description under the authority of the 10Ist
sec. of the act, and allowed the claim. He (Mr. Otter) sub-
' witted that be had r.o power to do so, inasmuch as in point
I of law, it was not a misnomer or inaccurate description such
as the banister might remedy, but was altogether a raisele-
seription, or no description at all. It was a notice of claim
addressed entirely to the along person.—Mr. Mellor, for
the respondents, contended that the decision of the revising
barrister was right, and ought to he affirmed. The ques-
tion was, whether a notice of claim, served upon the right
person, designated by a wrong description, was due notice
under the statute which gave the barrister power to insert
the voter's name. The notice was served upon one of the
overseers acting for the district of Scotchstreet (where the
qualifying property was situated), and as this person was
overseer of the whole parish, the service was sufficient ac-
cording to the 101st sec., which required that the notice be
served upon any one of the overseers. In this case the notice was
served upon the right person, and was addressed to the right
person, but by a wrong description. This was such a mis-
take or inaccuracy, as the barrister had power to remedy,
because the description was one which, though defective,
could be " commonly understood " (adopting the language
of the act of parliament).
The Lord Chief Justice said that the question for the
court to decide was, whether the notice of claim was such
as the revising barrister ought to have held insufficient, on
the round that it was addressed to the overseers of a
particular township, instead of to the overseers of the
parish. Now, it appeared, that in this case, there were no
overseers, but such as were appointed for the whole parish.
Being so appointed, each person took under his particular
charge a certain district, passing under the name of town-
ship ; and the ovtreeers generally must be taken to be
parties to that understanding. The voter sent in his notiro
addressed to the Overseers she township mentioned in such
notice, and this must he considered as a otice to the overseers of
the whole parish. They were, in point or !ftw, the overseers
or the district which the claimant called a township, and the
service upon one of the overseers satisfied the act of parlia-
ment, and it was unnecessary to eerie the rest. Upon the
best consideration he (the Chief Justice) had been able to
give to the act, he was of opinion that the notiee addressed
to the overseers of the township was, of necessity, intended
to be addressed to the overseers of the parish. The revising
barrister was, therefore, right in holding the notice to be
sufficient, and his decision must be affirmed.—Decision
affirmed accordingly. Other cases were heard to-day ; but, as
they ware not decided, we d"r^" ^,,T report of the arguments

INSOLVENT DAN t ORS' COURT.] I
Ix nn WILLIAM Hants.—This insolvent, a builder, was
opposed by Mr. Nichols, and was supported by Mr. Macrae.
—The examination was an inquiry Iwo the disposition of
several sums of money received by the insolvent from
various contracts into which he had entered. The insolvent
attributed his failure to losses arising from unfortunate con-
tracts.—The insolvent was discharged.
IN RI RICHARD Pares.—This insolvent, a fishmonger in
the Strand, WAS opposed by Mr. Cooke for a creditor, who
complained that he bad been put to additional law costs in
endeavouring to get judgment upon a bill of exchange, by
the insolvent vexatiously pleading.--Mr. Cooke examined
the insolvent, who said he passed through the court in 1842.
He had betted upon horse races, and had won, during the
last year, upwards of 7001. This money, however, he had
since lost. He had burned two betting books since he had
been in prison.—ln answer to Mr. Nichols, the insolvent
said he had paid off 1911. of his former debts. The greater
part of his present debts were renewals of old ann.—Evi-
dence was called to prove that the property upon the pre-
mises in the Strand belonged to the trustees of the insol-
vent's children.—The ease was adjourned for the perfection
of a notice, but the Court intimated an intention to remand
the insolvent upon his next coming up, and refused to
enlarge the ball.

Spay O. GALLOP.—TRE RECTOR or MARTLBIONI3.
RIGHT To FIRS 0:a PAUPER BORlll.B.—This was an action
in which the plaintiff, who is the rector of St. Merylebone
parish, sz.ught to recover from the governor of the poor-
house the sum of le. 6d. as a fee payable to him on the in-
terment of every pauper at the burial-ground, at St. John's-
wood. The parties having agreed to turn the matter into
a special case, for the opinion of this court, the same was
argued to-day, at great length, when the various allegations
set forth in the care itself, and the statutes regulating the
pariah, were minutely examined and discussed. As the in-
terest of the case is purely local, we refrain from going into
the arguments of the learned counsel at any length.
Mr. W. H. Watson appeared for the plaintiff, and rested
the claim of his client on two grounds, contending, first,
that the fee in question was a customary payment which
had been in existence since 1732, and was, therefore, good
by prescription; and, secondly, that its legality and existence
hadbeen acknowledged by the scat. 51 Geo. 111., c. 151, when
the constitution of the parish was re-arranged. and the then
minister, and his successors, declared to be entitled to all the
fees which he and his predecessors theretofore had held and
enjoyed.
Mr. Martin, on the other hand, on behalf of the defend-
ant, denied that the fee now claimed had any existence
before 1732, when it was established under the award of one
Major Hanway, to whom the parish and the then minister
had referred the task of arranging a table of fees. Among
the fees then settled was thin, and is could not therefore be
supported on the first ground. As to the act, it was con-
tended that as the fee was illegal, because the vestry had no
power to bind the parish, the clause referred to had not the
effect of legalising and recognising it.—At the close of the
case, Sir F. Pollock intimated that the (*lot would take
time to consider its judgment.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Com. Shepherd.
Faxon.—A builder, named Aldred, applied for his cer-
tificate. His debts are about 3,0001., and the meets " none."
He was supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and opposed by Mr.
Drew, upon the part of the London and Westminster
Bank, on the ground that in 1842 he deposited the lease of
two houses in Bermondsey New-road, purporting to come
from the ground landlord, but it now appeared that the
houses had been already underleseed. The further ground
of opposition was the exchange of bills, after the bank-
ruptcy. Kr. Com. Shepherd observed, that this was a
gran fraud. Although the loss to the bank was small, that
made no difference, and the public ought to be indebted to
them for bringing the case before the court. Under all the
of the case, ke should suspend the certificate
from this date, without proteetion.

swank upon Mr. William Smith, of No. 32, Poultry, upon
the attempt of the latter to go into the room in which the
meeting of the shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Rail-
way Company was held on Saturday last. Mr. Smith said,
that an advertisement having appeared in the newspapers
that a public meeting of the shareholders In all the
Nast of railroad would take place on Saturday last,
ha sitsnied in the capacity of shareholder of the Luxem.
ampany. He had received a letter from Mr. Ti loon
of intemperate language whim he said had
been wad towards Mr. Muterman, the banker, and stating
that be abead be refused admiarion to the meeting. He re-
plied arbefly to the letter, that he certainly should attend,
and that as he was well acquainted with him, he should see
him previously to the time appointed for the meeting. He
startlingly went to the tavern at which the meeting was le
ha bold, and saw Mr. Tilton, who, miter tome conversation,
said ast ha (Mr. Smith) should not be admitted, and that
he woad oppose his entrance by forte. They walked to-
eleto the door of the room, and he (Mr. Smith) maimed
that he would my or do nothing that would lad to a
digambeace or breach of the pesce' and that he would eon-
daeldmeelf to the pamphlet he had published about the
albite of the company. Mr. Tilson proceeded, but in as
gentleman-like a way as he could certainly, to make
good his words. Ile stood in the door-way and
gently pushed against complainant as he attempted to enter.
Mr. Uinta admitted that what Mr. Smith had stated was en-
tirely true, and, at the Wile time, that he had aright to pre-
vent his admission to the room. He admitted that the meet-
ing was public, that it was thrown open to all the world;
but that the writer of a letter. containing a challenge to Mr.
Vdarterman, ought not to be allowed to speak at the meeting,
inasmuch as his observations might lead so a breech of the
peace —Alderman Gibbs then handed two letters to Mr.
Smith, and asked him whether he was the writer ?—Mr.
Smith said he was.—Alderman Gibbs said it appeared to
him, that after the receipt of these two letters, the refusal to
allow him to eater the room was perfectly justifiable, inas-
much as it was carried into effect to prevent a breach of the
peace. Ha therefore declined to interfere.—The snmmons
was then dislaiseed.—Mr. Smith admitted that his object in

, after which it was lost sight of. Information was then given
to the police, which resulted in the apprehension of the pri-
-1 bonen that morning while at breakfast at the house of Good-
, enough's mother.—Mrs. Clark, the wife of Mr. C. Clark,
draper, in Great Dover-street, Borough, salted that Lainson
had been in their employ as an assistant for about 8 yeah,
and identified the letter, signed Maherly, as in that prisoner's
handwriting.—The prisoners were remanded for a few days
to got all the parties connected with the case, both in Ips-
wich and London, as well u at the railway stations, to come
forward and give their evidence.—They were then removed.
WESTMINSTER.—Cuunixo Bores. John Alder, •
chimney sweep, was charged with having compelled a poor
boy to go up a chimney, to the imminent peril of his life.—W.
J. Moore said that the defendant, his master, took hint that
morning to • house in Warwick-street, Vauxhall-bridge-
read, and told him to go up a kitchen chimney then. Com-
platant said be could not as there wan a lot of mortar about,
but defendant insisted that he should, and declared that un-
less ha did he would beet him severely when he got him
home. Complainant went up and swept the chimney, but
as he -OA coining down the machine broke, and falling,
caught him near the breast and jammed him tight in the
chimney, where he remained until he was fortunately extri-
cated by • hole having been cut in the wall.—Mr. Broderip
fined the defendant 71., which not being forthcoming, he was
committed to prison for six weeks.
EITENSIVII IKAUDIL—Mary Anne Collins was charged
with having defrauded an immense number of tradesmen.—
The depositions were taken in four distinct cases, she having
been most successful in her depredations. The means by
which she contrived to defraud the tradesmen were there :
On mot ring a sh.ep she asked for some trifling article, in pay-
ment for which she put down a sovereign. She then engaged
the person who was serving her in conversation, and having
required them to make sundry alterations in the description
of coin given her in change, during which she dexterously
contrived to purloin a portion of it, she then, counting the
remainder in the it presence, pointed out to them that they
had not given her her full change, when the shopkeeper,
confused by the repeated alterations made in the silver, sup-
plied the supposed deficiency.—Mr. Broderip committed her
upon four cases, but said that as there was no doubt she had
been carrying on this species of legerdemain very.erensively,
others might, on the case obtaining publicity, wish to prefer
charges against her.—Remanded till the 26th inst.

THAMES.— FILONIOUSLY WOUNDING. John Sim-
mons, of 3, Charles street, St. George's in the East, was
charged with wounding a poor widow named March► Ann
Fermi r. The prosecutrix stated that about twelve o'clock
on the Saturday night she purchased a saveloy from the pri-
soner, and offered him a sixpence, which he said was bad.
She requested to have it back, saying, she was sure the
grocer from whom she had it gave it to her in a mistake,
and wonl.l give her a good one for it. He refu.ed to do
so, and she snatched at the sixpence, upon which he
struck at her hand with the chopper, and cut off the top of
one of the fingers of her right hand, below the nail, as well as
a piece of the thumb. In her cross-examination she
admitted :ant it was pos‘ible it might have been
done accidentally. She was taken to the London hospital,
where the finger was cut off to the joint, and the wound
dressed. She did not see the chopper in the prisoner's hand
until her finger was cutoff, and she at first apprehended that
she had lost all her fingers. Evidence was given in corrobo-
ration,and Mr.liardley ordered the prisoner to put in hail ,him-
self in 100/, end two sureties in 501. each, to meet the charge
of feloninudy wounding, with intent, at the ensuing session
of the Central Criminal Court.

ILFORD PETTY SESSIONS.
Ate AUTHORESS IN TROUBLII.—Min Johnston, who said
she was an authoress, appeared before the magistrates under
the following circumstances: In the month of November
last. a gentleman named Dudley, an uncle of Miss Johnston,
resided at Stratf rd, to whom that lady paid a visit, with
reference to getting possession of some title deeds belonging
to her. Being en unwelcome visitor, the door was closed
against her. Miss Johnston persisted in her endeavours to
get admitted by knocking violently. at the door, and fright-
ening her uncle, who was near ninety years of age. AU
efforts to get her away having been ineffectual, the police
conveyed her to the station-house. The neat day she was
taken before William Cotton, Esq., and other magistrates,
who were sitting in petty sessions, and, an she expressed her
determination to go to the house and repeat the offence,
they committed her, under the New Police Act, for one
month to Ilford jail. During her incarceration her uncle
died, and she insisted upon the coroner holding an inquest
upon his remains. On Saturday Miss Johnston applied to
the magistrates for copies of the commitment and depositions
taken in her case. The magistrates refused the application•

MONEY MARKET.

MoxnAi Ersxt NO.

The accounts from Paris represent the prevalence of
great excitement in the money market, in consequence of the
notice issued by the Bank of France for raising the rate of
discount from 4to 5 4ier cent. It may be doubted whether
this measure would of itself, with reference to its action upon
domestic exchanges merely, exercise any particular influence
in staying or moderating the demand for specie or bullion.
So long as the discounts in bulk are not reduced
the quantity of note circulation cannot be dimi-
nished, or, if it be, can only be diminished by paying in
against specie drawn out, which is exactly the evil for which
a remedy is sought. If, however, it be true, se stated, that
large bill amounts have been habitually Pent for some time
past from parts of Germany, where the rates of money ruled
, high, to be discounted at Paris where they were lower by
1 or 14 per cent., the present advance in the rate may suffice
to put an end to that sort of dealing, which could not fail to
be the more inconvenient because the proceeds of such
foreign bills were taken away in ingots or coin, and in this
manner, it is asserted, bard money to the extent of forty
millions of francs has been drawn away during the last
few months from France into Germany. The higher rate
of interest now established may operate perhaps in another
direction to benefit the treasury of the French Bank. It
may induce the transmission of capital (rein countries, such
as England and Holland, where money yiOds a less return,
for more beneficial employment at the higher values of
money current in France. It is understood that Count
d'Argout, the governor of the Bank of France, was to the
last opposed to any interference with the rate of interest, as
on all previous occasions when proposed he had been. The
Bank, he was sceustomed to observe at the annual meetings
of the proprietary, had rendered the greatest services to
French industry by its rigid maintenance of the interest at
one equable moderate rate. In that respect the institution
may be said to have stood alone for a quarter of a century.
Should the rums already taken, in the purchase of silver
first and the elevation of interest since, be inadequate to
relieve the Bank from the embarrammenta of its position,
recourse was advised in some quarters to the issue of bank
note paper of a smaller denomination, say of 100 and 250
francs (41. and 101. sterling). At present the Bank issues
nothing lower than notes of 500 francs. The proposition is
said indeed to have been already debated in the council-
roma of the Bank, and favourably considered. How such
an issue would be received by the public is the difficulty.
The notes would generally fall into the! hands of an in-
ferior class of persons, who, unused to paper money, would
be all the more likely to return it upon the Bank for coin,
and thus the object of keeping notes out sea substitute for
specie would be defeated, and might tend to discredit the
Bank. For it is to be understood that bank notes have little
currency comparatively out ef Paris, and only is the com-
mercial and wealthier circles. The small traders and lower
orders have never been accustomed to paper money since the
dap of the assignats. It has been suggested also, as a means
of much more direst action upon circulation and specie, that
the Bank should dispose of a certain proportion of the go-
vemment securities of which it is the holder. This
would certainly appear to be the more decided end
efficacious course, and could scarcely fail of the desired awn
in combination with the rise of interest, if the operation
were of adequate magnitude. Sales of renter for the amount
of some three or four millions of franca capital only, would
answer no sufficient purpose in such a crisis.
The impression gains in the City that in view of the ad-
vance of interest in France the directors of the Bank of
England must shortly find it neemeary to make another step
in that direction, so as to re-establish the former comparative
standing of the two rates. At present the rate in France at
5 per cent., and here at 34 per cast, makes a difference of 14
per cent., instead of only 1 per cent, es before.
The discouraging amounts from the stock, share and
money markets at Paris led to a further depression of prises
to-day. Console were quoted worse en the opening of the
market. From 921 to 1 they receded to, and were done as
low as, 92 for the account, but eventually recovered to, and
closed at, 921 foe money sad 924 for the amount, the
market heavy. Reduced Three' were 921 to I. Thme-and-

RAILWAY NEWS.
Yesterday the share and scrip market remained
much in the same state as before, but perhaps not quite on
depressed. No d. tided quotations of prices, or of particular
lines, can be hazarded in such a state of affairs.
At Liverpool the business in the share market was very
limited, and in some stocks there was a farther reduction in
price. But in Leeds ani Think, and Birmingham and
Oxford, a small advance was effected on Saturday's prices.
Crosby's also rose to 11 prem.
The market at Birmingham wan flat, prices still having a
tendency downwards. 'lke closing price of Birmingham
and Oxford Junction was 91 pm , but sales were not effected
even at the decline. Stour Valleys were done at 21 pm.
Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham., (registered) 6%21 pm.;
North staffurshibires at 665. ad. pm. ; Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham (A's) 11 pm.; South Staffordshire Registered (late
Junction) 21.. 3d. pm.: and Shropshire Unions 1 dia.
The Leeds share market still further indicated the opera-
tion of the recent notice from the Bank of England, in-
creasing the rate of interest. The dealings in shares were
numerous, but in almost every instance at a trifling reduc-
tion of price. In Leeds and Thirsk there was a good deal
of business done at late rates, and Melton and DriMeld
Junctions advanced from 20a. to 21s. 6d. prem.
The Bristol market stil ' maintained a gloomy aspect, and
but very little business was done. The impression gained
ground that money would be yet tighter, and that the end
of the month would tee the discounts raised much higher—
some think to 4 per cent. There was, in consequence, an
indisposition to buy, eapt daily scrip, except at such lowered
rates as holders will not submit to. Bristol and Exeter New
were done at 121 121 ; Bristol Waterworks, 61. A small
lot of Caledonian New shares were done, to make up a
number, at par for cash.
