COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH,

THE QUEEN V. DUNN.—INDICTMENT FOR PERJURY.—
The defendant woo convicted at the sittings in London after
Hilary term, on an indictment which charged him with
haring committed perjury in an affidavit made by him for
the pomade of compelling Mon Burdett Coutts, under the
laws affecting traders, to settle a debt supposed to be due
from her to the defendant. Subsequently, ■ rule nisi for
arresting the judgment was obtained on the ground that, as
the proceeding in which the affidavit had been made was
one for compelling an act of bankruptcy, it was not necessa-
rily an actual proceeding in bankruptcy, to which latter
class of proceedings only the authority to administer an oath
of the registrars of the Court of Bankruptcy, one of whom
had administered the oath to the defendant, applied.—Mr.
Clarkson showed cause against the rale, which was sup-
ported by the defendant in person.—The court took time to
consider its judgment.

KEEN V. THE QUEEN.—POWER OP QUARTER SESSIONS
TO PRONOUNCE SENTENCE AFTER JUDGMENT RESPITED.—
John Keen had pleaded gutty, at the quarter sessions for
the county pf Essex, to three several indictments for assaults
upon his wife. The court ordered him to enter into his re-
cognisarices to keep the peace generally, and especially to-
walla his wife, sad also to appear and receive judgment at
the next sessions. Ile did tot appear at the next sessions,
and was brought by a bench warrant before the next sessions
but one from that at which I e had pleaded guilty; judgment
was prayed on him then, and he was, after some discussion as
to the jurisdiction of the tribunal, as then constituted, to
pass any judgment, sentenced to six calendar months' impri-
sonment, to pay a fine of 601., and to enter into recogni-
sauces with sureties to keep the peace generally, and espe-
cially towards his wife. Subsequently he brought this writ
of error, and the record showed that, though the respite of
judgment was introduced by the proper averment that the
court was not then advised what sentence to pass, the order
to enter into recognisances was in the formula appropriated
to judgments. Mr. Peacock now contended that the order
of the first session', whatever might he the other entries
then made, was in such a form, and contained such
expressions, that it must be regarded as a judgment; and
that if that were so then, as two judgments could not be
pronounced for the same offence, the last judgment under
which the plaintiff in error had ieen imprisoned was illegal.
He also insisted that one court of quarter sessions had not
the power to adjourn the pronouncing a sentence to another
court of quarter sessions. There was no authority, no sta-
tute, that sanctioned such a proceeding ; and there was op-
posed to it the strong reason to be deduced from the fact
that ono court of quarter sessions was net necessarily, nor
even probably, composed of the same persons who had
fom.ed.a given previous court. Mr. Marsh, in support of
the judgment of the quarter sessions, urged that the whole
language of the entry made by the first court of quarter ses-
sions showesl that there had been no intention then to pros
sentence, and that sentence had not, in fact, been passed.
With regard to the other point, he submitted that the court
of quarter sessions was one constantly continuing; that its
identity was not affected by the fart that the same individuals
did not always compose it ; and, therefore, that the right of
such a court to adjourn the passing a sentence was a neces-
sary part of its jurisdiction. The court was of opinion that
the order of the first sessions was not a judgment, because
the entry showed the court to have declared that it was not
advised what the judgment ought to be. As to the other
ground of error, it had no doubt that the court of unarter
sessions was a continuing court, and exercised a continuing
authority. It was composed of the body of the justices of
the county, sitting under the same commission, and always
Exercising the same authority.—Judgment for the crown.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
...fore the Chief Judiee and aSpeutal Jury,

BEARD O. EDENTON AND ANOTHER.—THE DAGUEILREO-
TYPE.—ALLEOBD INPRINOILMENTOP PATENT.-Bir, F. The-
siger, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Webster, for the plaintiff; Mr.
Watson and Mr. Brown for the defendant —This was:an
action for the infringement of a potent for an invention or
discovery known by the name of the Daguerreotype. It ap-
peared that the plaintiff was the assignee of a person named
Berry, to whom the invention had been communicated in
the month of July, 1839, by two Frenchmen, named Louis
Jacques Daguerre and Joseph Isidore Niepee (from whom
the French government had purchased the invention for the
benefit of the country), and that in the course of the same
year (some days prior to the date of the exposition of the said
invention or discovery to the French government by Messrs.
Daguerre and Niepee, according to the terms of their
rcent), Berry obtained a patent for the exclusive use
same within this kingdom. The process of the
Daguerreotype, as describci in the specification, divided
hogf into five operations, as follow The first consists in
polishing and cleaning the silver surface of the plate, in
order to properly prepare or qualify it for receiving the sensi-
tive layer or coating upon which the action of the light
traces the design ; the 2nd, in the applying that sensitive
layer or coating to the silver surface ; the 3rd, in submit-
ting, through the medium of the camera obscure, the pre-
pared surface or plate to the action of the light, so that it
may receive the images ; 4th, in bringing out, or making
appear the image, picture, or representation, which is not
visible when the plate is first taken out of the camera
obscure; sth, in removing the sensitive layer or
coating which would continue to be affected by, and
undergo different changes from, the action of the
light." Mr. Cooper, Dr. Ryan, Professor Brandt,
and other scientific witnesses, were called to prove that a
material part of the invention, as described in the specifica-
tion, consisted in the use of iodine for producing the sensi-
tive coating on the plates, and that the same material (with
the addition of chloride of iodine, or chlorine, and bromide
of iodine, or bromine) was used in the prossess adopted by
the defendant —lt was also proved that the defendants had
received money for instructions iu the art of using the
Daguerreotype, and that somebody attached to their esta-
blishment had once stated that he very much doubted who.
ther Mr. Beard could claim the patent at all. At the
close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Watson took various
objections to the title of the patent, and to certain terms in
the specification. The only question, however, which the
learned judge entertained arose upon the construction to be

put upon the following words, which occurred after a state-
ment in the specification, to the eft- et that the plates were to
be prepared with acid, de.:—" It is however considered in-
dispensable, just before the moment of using the plates in
the camera, or the reproducing the design, to put at least
once morn some acid on the plate, and to rub it lightly with
pounce." The learned counsel contended that these words
were calculated to mislead a person of ordinary understand-
ing, inasmuch an it appeared from the evidence of one of the
witneeses that the effect of applying the acid and pornee
" the moment before using the plates" would be to
destroy the sensitive surface produced by the iodine.
His lordship held this objection to be valid, on the ground
that although a skilful person might see that the patentee
I did not intend that the words as to the precise time of using
the acid should be so minutely construed, yet the description
was such onto make the specification insufficient according
to the ordinary application of the language. A person in a
situation to use the invention should be enabled to under-
stand the specification without being called upon to apply
any reasoning as to the construction of the terms used. The
jury were accordingly directed to find a verdict fur the de-
fendant on the twelfth plea, which raised the ohjection
named ; and for the plaintiff, damages 40a., upon the pleas—
which went to the granting of the patent the novelty of the
invention, the infringement, &c. Leave to move was
reserved to both sides.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Nm Pane.—ffersre air P. Pollock, C. 0., and a Common Jury.
BLACK V. BAXENDALL AND OTHEMS.—DELIVERY OF
RAILWAY PAacaLS.—Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Ogle
were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr.
Willes for the defendants. This action was brought to re-
cover compensation for irregularity in the delivery of parcels
entrusted to the defendants, who are extensive railway car-
riers, and conductors of the establishment known by the
name of " Pickford and Co." In the month of October last,
the plaintiff, who is a sail-cloth manufacturer in the City,
sent a number of parcels, containing that article, to the de-
fendants' warehouse, to be sent by rail and delivered, at
Bedford, to a Mr. Abbott, the plaintiff's traveller. On the
delivery of the goods at the defendants' warehouse, their
servants stated, that they would be transmitted to their des-
tination st once, as the railway was then open the
entire way to Bedford, and that they had sent trucks by it
whereas, it appeared the railway, at that time, was opened
only part of the way to Bedford. The result was, that the
delivery of the plaintiff's goods was delayed, as aUeged, for
an unreasonable time ; he was deprived of the opportunity
of selling them to advantage, and was obliged to carry them
elsewhere, and ultimately sell them at a reduced price. The
declaration also contained a count relating to the irregular
delivery of goods at Watford, but it was not sustained.—The
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
IN SE THOMAS WOODHOUSE Srsveas.---This insolvent
was opposed at his hearing, a few days ago, by Mr. Cooke,
for several Chinese merchants, whose complaint was, that he
had obtained their goods, consisting chiefly of teas and silks,
without intending to pay for them.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips gave judgment to-day, and
said—" This is a case which occupied a considerable time,
and I am not at all clear that 1 have come to a right con-
clusion, but, at the same time, I have the satisfaction of
thinking that, if I err, having taken all possible trouble to
inform my mind, such error is on the Bide of humanity.
The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, for several Chinese
merchants, and it is unquestionably of the utmost import-
ance that with them, so with all other portions of the globe,
but particularly with them in the present state of affairs,
the good faith of our merchants should be kept up.
The insolvent had been opposed upon the ground of con-
tracting a large debt without, as Mr. Cooke had stated, any
intention of ever discharging it. That, of course, means the
debt had been contracted fraudulently, as the other words
are not mentioned in the act of Parliament. Now, Ido not
think, takiag all the circumstances together, that I can come,
so unerringly as I could wish, to that conclusion; I do not
think that the transaction evinces such a clear indication of
fraud, although there is a great deal of suspicion that the debt
was contracted without any intention of payment—that is,
fraudulently. In the course of the discussion another matter
turned up, which I think even more than suspicious. The
insolvent received from the sale of the teas 2,000/. or 3,000!.,
or perhaps a larger sum. That money was unquestionably the
property of the creditors, whose property had been sold for the
purpose of raising it. It was ingeniously argued by the in-
solvent's counsel, although he himself did not suggest it, that
he (the insolvent) imagined 'that twelve months was to
be allowed for the completion of the contract, end that
therefore he had a right to retain the money until
that time had expired. That might be so. It is
just possible. Feeling I cannot conscientiously exclude
this possibility—it hardly amounts to a probability—
I shard give the insolvent the benefit of the doubt. There
is, however, no doubt of this—that the money ought
ultimately to have been handed to the creditors. That the
insolvent has not done, and in answer to questions as to what
had become of it, he said, unblushingly enough, that it had
been expended in the support of himself and Wilily. I have,
indeed, noticed that the expenditure for himself and his
family was very considerable. Under these circumstances,
considering the justice due to creditors, which I hope they
will always find here, it is impossible for me to pronounce
an immediate discharge. I fear lam sating too leniently in
applying the 76th section; hut no one can doubt who has
heard this case that, marked with suspicion and dishonesty
as it is, it is my bounden duty to pronounce a remand for the
full term of that section ; and therefore I declare that the
insolvent shall be entitled to his discharge at the expiration
of six months from the date of his vesting order, according to
the 76th section of the act of parliament."—This case excited
considerable interest, from the fact that it was the hest occa-
sion in which opposition was offered on behalf of Chinese
Hong merchants. The insolvent was an American.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENING.
Some tightness in the money market was expe-
rienced to-day, which may be attributed to the near
approach of the 4th, which is understood to be a more
than usually heavy bill day. The rates of discount
remain, however, unaltered, although the paper offered
might be rather more strictly scrutinised as to date.
The payment of dividends, now close at hand, will per-
haps tend partly to remedy fur a short time this teni-

porary scarcity of accommodation, but, at the same time,
as the loans in growl made by the Bank out of public de-
posits must be called in about the same time, and as
a large amount of railway calls have to be answered
during the month, it may be assumed that, taking into
account also the large payments for foreign bread-
stuffs falling due, money, that is accommodation, is
not likely to be cheaper for some time to come. This
may serve to show the fallaciousness of the assump-
tions in several of the papers for some time past
about the superabundance of money, and imme-
diately forthcoming reductions of the rate of interest
by the official organ of the Bank, as well as the.state-
ments that banks and discount houses were taking in
first-class paper at 44 per cent. It may be safely
i
asserted that nothing of the kind, n respect
of the banks and discount houses, has taken place ;
the non action of the Bank speaks for itself.
This state of the money market, coming upon the
ascertained failure of the Irish potato crop, with
apprehended damage of that of this country, and
the impending large loan required by the French go-
vernment, in which of course capitalists here must be
largely counted upen, for capital is cosmopolite, is
beginning to weigh more oppressively upon funded
values. Consols, which began to-day at 894, left off
at 881 to for account. The drop in prices has
been progressive, and therefore the Ices likely to
be the result of speculation in the hear sense.
In fact, until to-day, there has been little business for
some days past. '1 he stock market has followed the
regular course of all business ; circumstances and
times seem to be against it. A sound recovery cannot
be hoped for promptly, perhaps, in any case. Re-
duced Three per Cents. were 89 to e. Three-and-a-
quarter per Cents., 90,1, to 1. Long Annuities, 91-10

TUB EQUADOR Fonwow Denr.—The committee of
Spanish American boadholiers addressed a fitter recently
to Mr. W. P. Robertson, consul-general of the republic of
the Equador, inquiring if he had received any instructions
respecting the adjustment of the foreign debt of that state.
In his answer Mr. Robertson says :
()facially, I have received no such instructions; but I think it right
to inform you that his Excellency Don Vicente B. Roca, president of
the repubbe, has expressed, in his communications to me kis desire
to re-establish the credit of Equador in this country. The civil mum,
aixl consequent dilapidation of the public treasury previously to hie
eavossion to his office, left the government then, and, I fear,
leaves it, without immediate means of carrying a eatisfactory
arrangement with the boodholdete into effect; but I am persuaded
that tee internal peace of the country bring now as the govern-
ment will turn its serious attention to some early arrangement with
the English bondholders. I beg to take this opportunity of stating
that I am desired, in a despatch which I received by last packet from
Don Manuel Gomez de la Torre, minister of Equador, to correct,
publicly, a raisapprehenaion which has arisen that a term of two
years had been fixed on for converting the old Colombian into
Equatorian bombs in (thito, after which time, all Claims would be
wholly excluded. No measure of this, or any- other kind tending to
invalidate the claims of the English bondholders, has emanated from
the Tepatorian government.
