BUTtillAtT O. DILEIMIL—JOINT-STOCIL BANK— Rion-
ruts? FtTLIC 0171C1It—PRODUCTION OF DOCIIMINTII.

YiteTtefenriarii;;S. lately the re TristeWed public ol6oer of the
Yorkshire Jointencek Banking Company, and brought an
action in that character against the above plaintiff, who
thereupon filed his bill for discovery in aid of his defence to
the action. An injunction was granted to stay the action,
and on the coming in of the defendant's answer, a motion
was made before the Vice-Chancellor of England for an
order on the defendant to produce, for the plaintiff's inspec-
tion, various documents and accounts, admitted by hie
answer to be in his possession, end ready to be produced, if
the Bank would permit. This motion wee opposed on the
ground, as the feet was, that Dresser was not then the
public ofileer of the Bank, and the Vice-Chaseellor die
missed the motion on that ground. The appeal motion from
his Hermes decision was partly heard on a former day.
The motion stood over for the purpose of serving notice on
the joint stook bank and Mr. %oft, their present registered
public airier, mid of obtaining information for the Lord
Chili:rialto' of what was done under similar circumstances in
the ease of Lead Mostyn v. Burdekin," a registered public
officer of the blenehester Joint-stock Bank.
Mr. Reit having now renewed the motion, and stated that
the beak had been served with notice,
Mr. Balm said he wee instructed to appear for Mr. Scott,
who represented the joint-stock bank. The plaintiff knew
well when the motion was made before the Vine- Chancellor
that Dresser was not then the public officer—be had en
stated in his answer. The bank, however, was ready to do
all in their power to set the suit right, but that could not be

done in the summary way proposed by the plaintiff's coon.
gel, by substituting Scott's name in the record fey Dr (*twee.
At common law • party to an acti s ma, bit replaced l
another in the readiest way, by a suggestion on the record,
but that was not consistent with the practice in courts of
equity. The proper way would have been for the plaintiff,
when he was informed that Dresser was succeeded by Stott
as public officer, to file • supplemental bill to make him
a defendant. The shortest form would be sufficient, merely
stating the former bill and answer, and that Dresser ceased
to be the public officer, that Scott now filled that character,
and praying that he may be bound by the proceed nags.—
The Lord Chancellor: That would not be a supplemental
bill; it might be called so, but without any supplemental
matter.—Mr. Baton thought that the practice of the court
required some such form, but the bank and Mr. Scott were
willing to act as the court would direct ,• there wee no dis-
position on their part to pet the plaintiff to trouble
or expense. air Teed stated what took place in
the ease of " Lord Mostyn o. Burdekin." Mr.
Stuart, for Dresser, said he had in his answer stated that
he ceased to represent the Bank, and with that information
the plaintiff hed no right to move the court against him.
Had the plaintiff done on the motion before the Vice-Chan-
cellor what he has done now, serving notice on Scott and the
Busk, the matter might have been disposed of there.
The Lord Chancellor: The Bank are the reel defendant'.
The name of their officer is wad for convenience. It may as
well be said, that when a defendant changes his solicitor, a
supplemental bill becomes iiecesury. Mr. Bacon said he
wee not aware of any other mode of bringing Mr. Scott
before the court consistently with the practice. The Lord
Chancellor referred w analog•us cases, as where an unmarried
woman marries.
His lordship thee (as we understood, for it was extremely
difficult to hear half what his lordship said) made the order
for production of the documents on Scott, signifying that by
that order he would be substituted for Dresser. Mr. Stuart,
repeating partly what be said before, pressed for Demur's
costs against the plaintiff; saying oleo, in same? to Mr.
Bolt's objection, that he had been put to individual costs
which the bank would not pay. After some conversation
between counsel en the subject of costs, the Lord Chancellor
said it would be better to reserve the question of costa
THE HUNORRPORD MAMMY COMPANY 0, THE CHAR-
MO-CHOSE BRIDGE COMPANY.—RIGHT OF WAY.—INJENC-
TION.—This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the
defendants from impeding persons going over put of their
bridge to the stairs leading down to the wharf constructed
by the plaintiffs for the use of the pusengere through the
market to the bats which call at the wharf, and the owner'
of which pay a large income to the plaintiffs in proportion to
the number of passengers taken up and set down there. The
motion was before the court on a former day ; it
then stood over in expectation that the two com-
panies might corns to an arrangement. Mr. Bethel
now expressed his regret that his expectations were
disappointed. He then restated the nature of the case,
uon the former day. Mr. Gifford followed on the fame
side, arguing that, under the terms of the lease granted by
the plaintiffs to the defendants, the former were entitled to
the passage. Mr. Bolt and Mr. Bcgg opposed the motion,
stating, at the lame time, that the defendants were ready to
grant free passage to the boats to all pi reons, if the plaintiffs
would take some mode of identifying the perions going to
the boats. After considerable discussion, the injunction was
granted on the terms of the notice of the motion, but with
an understanding that the parties would arrange among
themselves the correct way of passage to and from the boat.,
for those who were passing by them.

HOME CIRCUIT.—CHELMSFORD, Manor 10.
Nowa Brow.—Before the Lord Chief Justke.
RICK-BUMMING - W. Macon, 20, J. Clegg, 21, and W.
Smith, 17, were indicted for feloniously setting fire to
five stacks of corn, the property of Arthur Bhuttlewortb.
The prosecutor is a farmer at lt pminster, and on the 26th
of September, about one o'clock in the day, he saw that the
stacks in question were safe in the rick-y.rd, and the pri-
soners were observed sitting upon the gate leading into it.
Very soon afterwards the stacks were on fire, and although
the neighbours speedily rendered assistance, two stacks of
wheat, and three others composed of beans, peas, and oats,
worth altogether 2401., were entirely consumed. The case
against the prisoners was, that they were upon the spot when
the fire broke out, and they immediately made eff without
offering to render any assistance, and were taken into
custedy a mile and a half from the place. On being searched
an emptylucifer.match boa was found in Sutitlespocket. The
prisoners were entire strangers to the neighbourhood, and it
would seem that they had been begging about the country.
The Loud Chief Justice having summed up, the jury re•
turned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, but re-
commended them to the merciful consideration of the court
on account of their youth.—The prisoners were sentenced to
be transported for ten years, instead of fur life, to which they
had rendered themselves liable. .

Tat DAOENRAP DIU the course of the day the
grand jury returned two true bills for perjury and conspi-
racy against some of the parties who were examined as wit.
nesse' before the coroner in the inquiry respecting the
murder of the police-constable at Dagenham. The trial will
not come on at the present assizes, as the charge only
amounts to a misdemeanor, which entitles the defendants to
traverse, and the indictment, therefore, will not be disposed
of until the summer anises.
MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINCOLN, MULCH 9.
Before Mr. Baron Parke.
Lair e. JACISON.—SLANDIIIL.—Mr. Hnenfrey, Q.C., and
Mr. W. H. Adams for the plaintiff; Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and
Mr. fur the defendant.—The plaintiff is the daughter
of a respectable farmer, and is now between 40 end 60 years
of age. The defendant is a farmer, with whom Miss Lee
lived for five years as housekeeper. Some few words
having pissed between them, she quitted his service, and
went into that of other farmers in a like capacity. In the
November of 1845 she was in the packet-boat going from
Boston to Lincoln. The defendant was also on board the
vessel. Miss Lee complained of being unwell, whereupon
the defendant said, "• glass of gin would do her good ;" and
he went on to observe in the hearing of several passengers,
that she bad been drunk scores and scores of times in his
house, and had carried atones and stones of bacon of his by
that very vessel, the averment being that he imputed felony.
It also appeared she left her situation on account of the ru-
mour of this transaction coming to her master's an, though
he now declared be bad PO ill opinion of her. Mr. White-
burst stated it was plainly the attorney's action; that it
ought never to have been brought ; and that if the plaintiff
was entitled to any damage, the smallest coin would suffice.
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages one farthing.

01 • PANTIOUS CONVICTION OT AN OLD DATlL—Daniel
Posey, aged 39, was convicted on very clear evidence of
having stolen some fowls. Mr. Birch, for the prosecution,
then proposed to prover that the prisoner had been convicted
of felony. twenty-four years ego, and had been sentenced to
be imprisoned for fen neeefes, and once publicly whipped
on a market day. The Lead Chief Baron, however, intl.
mated his opine dna the dna of the legislature was not
the accumulation of IMINSIS separated by so long an inter-
val of time. The fast that wet an interval had elapsed was
rather to the credit dna le the theeredit of the prisoner, for
it showed that the forme powainitat had produced a bene-
ficial effect on him. It wend be nest inhumane, under such
circumstances, to take the diner offence into account in
awarding punishment, and he eertnnly would not take it
into account. The learned cannot deferred to this opinion.
The evidence w..s not given ; and the prisoner was sentenced,
as for a first offence, to be impelmned for three months, and
kept to hard labour.

MANBLAVOUTZR. W. COW was indicted fur the wilful

deceased on the 4th day of Anon in the last year, were re-
sidents in the pariah of Harmon, in this county, where the
lrisoner kept a beer-shop, and farmed a small quantity of
and. The deceased was a widow, and it was said that an
illicit connexion had for some years existed between her and
the prisoner. On the day in question, the prisoner was seen
by some villagers at an early -hour of the morning, armed
with his gun. The deceased was seen with him by
several parties, and she was beard, while walkinuat

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—SALISBURY, listen 9.
Now Coons.—Be9sre Yr. Justine Csamirdl.
RICIC-BVILNING.—Jantra Russell, 25, war indicted for met-
ing lire to a straw-rick, the property of Eliza Bell, at West
Harnham. It appeared that on Tuesday night, the 2nd
February, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a neighbour of the
prosecutrix observed a light at a short distance from his
window and, on looking out, he found that it came from •
rick in Sirs. Bell's farm-yard. From the blase of tbe fire he
was enabled to see • man stooping down by the vide of the

rick, and, afterwards, he distinctly maw him walking away
in the direction of a neighbouring outhouse. The where'
also observed tint hie dress consisted of a mock-Sock,
leather leggings, and a high-crowned bat. Several people
came up to the fares-yard, and between four and five o'clock
the prisoner was found lying on some straw in the out-house
before mentioned. His clothes were such as those described.
On being questioned, be stated that be bad come
there to sleep, and that be had been in the
place sinoe nine o'clock. It was, however, proved
by a policeman that he met the prisoner at half-
past ten o'clock, going in the direction of West Ham-
ham-farm, and that he wished him "Good night" He
was ultimately searched, and a piece of burnt rag,with a few
bits of straw, were found in one of kis pockets. In addition
to this evidence, proof was given that the prisoner had an
ill-will towards the person who had the management of the
prosecutrix's farm—that he had been working for him during
the early part of the winter, and that being refused emp'oy-
ment a second time, he made use of certain expressions
(such as " I'll make him a poor man within a week") tend-
ing to show that he meditated same evil act in reference to
the property of the prosecutrix. It was moreover proved
that shortly before the fire, the prisoner bad purchased some
Lucifer-matches, stating that he wanted them as he was going
to Weep in an uninhabited house.—The jury returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.—Sentence-10 years' transportation.
ROADWAY HT a LATTER CARRIER.—James Gloss, 38,
was indicted for stealing two post letters, each containing a
61. note, the property of Mark Sawyer. In another count
the money was laid as the property of Joseph Dutch. The
prisoner, n appeared, was a letter-carrier to and from Che-
verell and Westbury, and on the 14th September last one
Mark Sawyer sent two envelopes by his wife to the post-
office at Cheverell (kept by Joseph Dutch), accompanied by
a paper of instructions directing that the notes were to be
inclosed in the envelopes and forwarded to the person to
whom they were addressed. When the prisoner crated as
usual for the letters which it was his duty to convey to
Westbury, the poet-mistress handed to him the two note*
and the envelopes. He arrived at Westbury in due time,
and the poet-mistress of that village (Nerved that he had
not brought the Cheverell bag; whereupon he exclaimed,
" Then I m a ruined man," and he proceeded to say that he
must have dropped it on the road. He then went away for
the purpose, as he said, of finding the bag, and in a short time
he returned with it. The bag was opened, but it did not
contain the two notes in quesnon, and the prisoner produced
the two envelopes from his pocket. He was afterwards
taken into custody, when he led the policeman to the place
where, as he bad stated, the Chests rell bag bad dropped.
There was no trace, however, of the notes, nor of the litter
of instructions which had accompanied them, and which
were also missing. On the following morning a step-son of
the prisoner was seen going towards the lock-up house where
the prisoner was confined, and afterwards toward. the field
where it was pretended the notes were loot. According to
this boy's evidence, the prisoner desired him to get the two
five pound notes from his mother, and convey them to a cer-
tain place which he named, to put them down, and take
them up again, as if he had found them. The boy did as
he was desired, and when he got back to Westbury, he pro-
duced the two notes—The learned judge maid the ewe
involved a question of law—vis., as to whether or not the
prisoner was guilty of larceny, the property having, it would
appear, been entrusted to him to take are of for another
person. This point he should reserve for future considera-
tion, and the question for the jury to decide was, whether
the notes had been given into the prisoner's custaxly. and
whether he had taken them out of the bag, intending to
cone-rt them to his own use.—The jury returned a verdict
of Guilty.—His lordship then directed the jury to say
whether in their opinion the prisoner intended, at the time
he received the notes, to appropriate them to his own use,
or whether he yielded to a sudden temptation at a subse-
quent period—The jury were of opinion that he had no
original intention of stealing the notes—that is to my, at the
time he received them—but that the idea occurred to him in
the course of his journey from Cheverell to Weetbury.—
Sentence deferred.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS —WEDNFSDAY.
(gefore the Assistant Judge.)
FIELINO CAISIL—Ann Mond Harris, a woman whose re-
spectable appearance and manner. excited much sympathy
in court, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a coat,
the property of Charles Vandergoutch. The prisoner kept a
board and lodging-house in Essex•strect, and the prosecutor
lodged with her. The prisoner bad also boarded his family.
A great coat was pawned of the prosecutor's, and the
prisoner was charged with that impropriety. The prosecutor
admitted that, at the time the coat was pawned, he owed her
30s. The prisoner said he owed her between 4/. and 51. at the
time. She had asked him several times for payment —The
jury returned a verdict of Guilty.—A second indictment
under the statute was then preferred against her for pawn-
ing two decanters and some small articles, the property of
Miss Elisabeth Clewer, from whom she took the house, fur-
nished, in November Last, at a rent of 1751. a-year. The
duplicates were found in the prisoner's possession, but she
did not appear to be in any other way connected with the
transection.—Mr. Parry was retained for the posecution,
but the case being undefended, the strongest t, eling was
excited in the prisoner's favour, so much so, that the
bar, to a man, declared that she ought to be defended,
and called upon their leader, Mr. Payne, with the prisoner's
assent, to undertake her defence. Mr. Payne made a touch
ing and eloquent appeal to the jury on the prisoner's behalf,
commenting warmly both upon the law and the facts of the
case. He contended that even it the prisoner had pledged
the property, of which there was no evidence, it was not
felony. As the duplicate was not destroyed, it was difficult
to say that she intended to deprive the prosecutrix of the
property, which she was not bound to restore until
the expiration of the period for which the tenancy was
ti continue. The learned judge carefully recapitulated
the evidence. He said that, if the jury thought that
the prisoner pawned the articles with the intention
of redeeming them, they would return a verdict of ac-
quittal; but if not they would find her guilty. If
there was a doubt in their minds they would give the pri •
stoner the benefit of the doubt. There had been a great deal
of feeling introduced into the cue; but they must not
forget that prosecutors had rights, as well as prisoners.—The
jury, after consulting for some time, found her Guilty.—
The sentence was deferred to the next sessions, to give an
Opportunity for further inquiry.
