been found in the prisoacra' poses a-line. The male prisoner
expressed his surprise, and declared that the propertyd be-
longid to his wife at the time of their marriage., anhe
believed they were her own.—The femele prisoner bad been
chambermaid at the hotel, but left the prosecutor's service a
year and a half ago for the purpose of getting married. Al-
though he had missed various portion', he never entertained
any suspicion of her, until apprised of the discovery of his
property.—'l'he female prisoner said thatthe major part of
the property bad been given to her at various times by the
prosecutor's late housekeeper. —Mr. Combe, believing the
I defence of the male prisoner. accepted bail for his future
appearance ; but remancied the woman until Saturday next.
MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, George Gibbs and
Richard Lewis were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinsou,
charged under the following circumstances Charles Rtheo-
berti., 47, Pickering-place, Bayswater, deposed that on
previous morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, as be was
passing along Prod-street, he was knocked down by one of
the prisoners, he could not say which, and two fowls which
he had in his hand were taken Rum him. His hat was also
stolen.—Williams,l4l L,seid that from information which he
had received relative to the robbery, he repaired to Free-
'greet. and there saw two fowls in the pomession of Gibbs. He
(witness) asked him where he had got them from? but he re-
tased to satisfy him, and at the same moment Lewis eta
up, and without saying a word struck witness a blow ow the
cheetCallagan, 134 D, corroborated the greater peed= ,
of the preceding evidenee.—Gibbs, iu answer to the chary, I
said that there was a fight at the spot, and he was one of 1
spectators thereof. He saw two fowls lying on the pave-
ment, and he was asking to when% they bierged when the
constable came up and collared him. Les mid he was not
aware that he had offered any violence to
teatr.--A
person named Stanley was called, who swore the prose-
cutor was one of the men engaged in the combat, and he did
not believe that the fowls were the prop, rty 3f the prose-
' cuter. Witness saw no blow given.--The magistrate, consi-
I derby: that Gibbs had no intention of stealing the fowls,
discharged him, and fined Lewis Is.
ViESTMlNSTEß.—Miscoenticr OF A POLica-00:4
STABLE.— W. Smyth,l9l V, RAS charged with gross miscon-
,' duet. Mr. Anthony Maps of 28, Yeomaii's-row, Brompton,
stated, that at about half-Past twelve o'clock on Saturday,
he was walking along Grove-place. Brampton, when he was
suddenly accosted by defendant, and accused of being one of
11mob." Complainant gave him his own address
thane 'Be
and also of his father, in the same neighbourhood, that
defendant might satisfy himself of his respectability. A
crowd collected, and complainant eventually went with his
accuser, accompanied by his father, on ahem they had called,
to the station, at Eburr-street. Pimlico, where the acting-
inspector said, that there was nothing to justify com-
plainant's detention, and discharged him. Com-
plainant was determined not to let the matter
drop, and applied to the defendant's superior officers,
when for the tint time the defendant charged the complain-
ant with taking a purse from a lady, observing that Colima
Rowan was the parson who gave complainant into his
custody. Defendant was then asked whether he knew Col.
Reverie and said he did not, hut described his appearance
—W. Brian, 20 V, deposed that defendant was under the
influence of liquor at the time lie Came to the station.—
Serjeant Forster, acting-inspector at Ebury-street, distinctly
proved that the charge defendant made against complainant
at the station was " on suspicion of being one of the swell-
mob." He did not observe that the constable had been
drinking, but his answers to questions were so foolish that
ninquird how long he had been in th e force.—Defendant,
answers to the charge, said that a gentleman in a gig
pointed Mr. Maggs out to him as a member of the swell-
mob, and the gentleman [dated himself to be Colonel Rowan.
Defendant denied that he was drunk.—Mr. Burrell observed
that the case was clearly made out against defendant, who
had conducted himself in a most unreasonable way. In his
opinion the story about Colonel Rowan was a mere fiction,
defendant having from sonic inexplicable motive taken the
complainant into custody. He should fine the defendant
31., and in default commit him for a month.
LAMBETH.—I eelotoes DIFFEUENCES. Yesterday,
Captain Wills, of Lambeth, accompanied by his daughter,
attended before Mr. Elliott, to offer some explanation rela-
live to an application for a warrant, and a complaint made
to his worship on a former day, by. the Rev. Tennison Cuff,
a Protestant clergyman. Captain Wills—after reminding
Mr. Elliott of the application of Mr. Cuff, a report of
which has appeared in this paper—stated that Mr. Cuff had
thought proper, without having been sent for, to enter the
bed-room of Captain Wills's dying mother, and, while his
four daughters, who, as well as his mother, were Roman
Catholic., were kneeling by her bed-aide and engaged in
prayer, to commence, without preface or ceremony, wading
aloud from the Testsment. His daughters assured the reverend
gentleman that their grandmother was a Roman Catholic, and
that they also were Catholics, and his reply was that he knew
they (the young ladies) were Catholics, and asked if Doctor
Doyle was not their grandfather ? He (Captain Wide)
would not comment upon the feeling that could dictate such
an insinuation, and that made by a clergyman to four young
ladies, that a Catholic priest was their grandfather, but
would leave his worship to draw his own inference as to hie
motive. When Mr. Cuff had concluded reading, and was
withdrawing from the bed-roam, his mother t' 1d one of her I,
grandaughters to request that he would not come 41
again, and upon this message being delivered to ij
him, he replied that he should call on the follow- ji
in day. Having been informed of this he (Cap.
tarn Wills) proceeded, on the following morning, to the 7!
house at which his mother lodged with the intention, he 4!
would confess, of preventing Mr. Cuff from disturbing his
aged parent in her last momenta, and having been informed '2i
that that gentleman was down stairs, he went down and
requested to speak to him. He then mildly told him that 2)
there was no necessity for his repeating his visit to the dying
lady, as she was a Roman Catholic and had been regularly ,
attended by a clergymen of her own creed. Mr. Cuff ob-
served that he understood a Catholic priest had been with
it
her, and he replied in the affirmative and said Dr. Doyle had t
been with her. Mr. Cuff, with some vehemence, exclaimed, I
" Dr. Doyle is a villain." Feeling somewhat irritated at
his conduct, Mr. Wills told him that he must be a
scoundrel to call any clergyman a villain, and further, that
if he attemt to -- up the stairs he should send for an

piece of pager, which was delivered by a young matt after
the race had been won by Isasoc—The jury found a verdict
fur the plaiutiff.—patters 201. •
FADINILIIII HOLSOID.—MIONISSORT NOTE.-•PLNA
OP NON-LIAPILITT, ON TUB son
TWAT THIS ANOUNT
WAS WON AT C•ILDS.—This mim an action brought by the
'plaintiff, who Is • wine-merchant, carrying on business in
London and in Liverpool, to recover from the defendant, a
cloth-merchant at Leeds, the sum of 501., the amount of a
sledaalasory note drawn by a person named Hanks, and en-
by the defendant.—The defendant pleaded that
the money having been won at cards, the consideration
and that therefore the action would not lie.—The
learned judge decided that the onus proliandi was upon the
'defendant, and that he was entitled to begin the case.—
From the statement of Mr. Serjeant Byles (with
whom was Mr. Rawhide's) on the part of the defendant,
itiedezared that on the 23rd of June last the plaintiff was at
and that he dined on that day with Mr. Hanks.
After dinner, and having drank some wino together, they
adjourned to the house of a man named who had for-
merly kept an inn, but who was then following the pursuits
of the turf. A game at whist was proposed, and the plain-
tiff, with Mr. Unit and Mr. Hanks, set
add n towo pla. Mr"
Holt and Mr. Hanks were partners. and the ' dyummy
was allotted to the plaintiff. The stakes were rather low at
first, not exceeding U. per game, but they were afterwards
increased. They continued playing from seven o'clock until
eleven, and it turned out that Holt and Hanks were losers.
The latter gave the plaintiff an I 0 U for 281., the amount
which he had lost. He afterwards produced a promissory
note for 501., and asked the plaintiff if be would discount it.
The plaintiff assented, but observed that it was not en
domed. On the following day, Hanks, desiring to redeem
the 1 0 U, procured an endorsement from Mr. llolroyd, and
front Mr. Charles Josephus Smith, a machine-maker at
Leeds. Hanks also endorsed the note himself. The
plaintiff then agreed to discount it, and he banded to
Hanks the balance, after deducting 281. due to him
from that person. In the course of the same evening the
parties met again at the house of Mr. Holt, and played at
whist under the same circumstances as before. On this
occasion Hanks lost upwards of 201. to the plaintiff, who
thereupon became possessed of the promissoryd the note in qresent ues-
' tion. Hanks had since become bankrupt, an p
action was therefore brought against Mr. Holroyd as one of
the endorsers of the note. The plea put in by the defendant
was founded upon the statute of Anne, passed in the y
1711, which enacted that " all notes given where the whole
or any part of the consideration shall be for money or other
valuable thing won by playing at cards, shall be null and
void to all intents and purposes whatsoever."
In order to establish the defendant's case Mr. E. Hanks
was called, and he stated that at the time of the transactions
is question he was a grocer at Leeds, but that he bad since
become insolvent. The witness stated that on the occasion
of the plaintiffs dining with him they dr ink champagne.
and that afterwards, at Mr. Holt's house, where they played
at cards, Madeira was drunk. He did not know whether the
game they played was " long " or " short " whist.
w He
was
did
not understand the question, nor did be know hat
meant by " points." The champagne which they drank
was wine supplied to him by the plaintiff. He had received
from him two cases of champagne and two dozen of brandy,
one of each being intended as a present to his brother. No
portion, however, of the money included in the promissory
note was given in payment for the wine. He had received
the wine only a month previously, and he had been given to
understand from Mr. Holt, who introduced him to the
plaintiff, that he would have three months' credit. He (wit-
ness) had not yet passed his examination before the Court of
Bankruptcy, and be had not returned Mr. Fadenilhe as a

Mr. Serjeant Wilkins (Mr. James with him) addressed
the jury for the plaintiff, and contended that the I 0 U be-
fore mentioned was not given in consideration of the money
test at cards, but on account of the sum due for wine, &c.
In support of this argument, it was urged that the 1 0 U
was still in the possession of the plaintiff, and that the
plaintiff, so far from allowing three months' credit for the
wine, expected payment for it at the time in question. To
establish this case Holt was called, and also a person named
Tempest, who stated that he was a aharebroker, and that he
had lived for several weeks at the house of the plaintiff.
The Lord Chief Justice having summed up the case, the
jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

EXCHEQUER CH AMBER.
HOWARD V. GOSSETT.—PRIVILROES OF PARLIAMENT.
—Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Colt-
man,'ldr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Jus-
tice Maule, sat in the Exchequer Chamber this morning,
when the arguments in the case of " Howard v. Sir William
Gossett," Servant-at-Arms to the House of Commons,
against a judgment given by the Queen's Bench in favour of
the plaintiff in an action of trespass, and which was brought
into this court by writ of error, came on for argument. In
the present stage of the proceedings, the arguments, which
are likely to occupy a length of time, consist entirely in
quot-
ing legal precedents and authorities bearing on the question.
They are of course not reportable in a condensed form.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Tin Parrs.—Before Sir P. Pollack, C. 8., and Special Juries.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. SCRINES.—BREACRIA OP
THE REVENUE LAWS By A CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICEIL—
This was an information, filed by the Attorney-General, for
the recover, of certain penalties under the 44th section of
the 3 & 4 Will. 4, cap. 53, which enacts, that persons un-
shipping, harbouring, or having the custody of any pro-
hibited or uncustomed goods, should forfeit treble their
value, or 1001. for each offence, at the election of the Corn-
mbaioners of her Majesty's Customs. The defendant, who
had been ten years in the service of the revenue, bad, it
appeared, connived at the evasion of the payment of duty
upon quantities of pepper cleared by a person named Fen-
nell, upon delivery orders written by the defendant. It
also appeared that erasures, enabling the parties to:perpe-
trate these malpractices, had been made in the books by the
defendant —The jury found a verdict for the crown for
3021., the full amount of the penalties claimed.
THE Quest v. M'LEftEm.--This was a proceeding of a
similar nature, against a landing officer, who pasted his
bond for 1,0001. as security for his good conduct in that
office.—Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, who appeared for the de-
fendant, consented to a verdict for the crown fur the amount
sought to be recovered.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.YnsTERDAY.
OLD COURT.—Betore the Recorder.
Francis Smith, 33, an Irishman,was indicted for feloniously
cutting and wounding Redmond Barry, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.—The transaction occurred five years
ago at Kensington, the prisoner having absconded, and had,
it is said, during the interval been residing in America and
other places out of the jurisdiction of this country, and he
was only very recently apprehended.—lt appeared that at
the time in question the prisoner came to Kensington, and
told the prosecutor Barry that he would have the life of a
man named Hays, for some supposed injury, and that he had
come to Kensington solely for that purpose. Barry, who is
the prisoner's countryman, endeavoured to dissuade him
from carrying out such an intention, and treated him with
some beer, and reasoned with him, telling him that he
ought not to think of killing the man, but that if he bad
injured him he had better beat him or fight it out with him,
and not resort to any deadly weapon. The prisoner appeared
to acquiesce in the view taken of the ;natter by Barry, and
upon his meeting with Hays shortly afterwards, they had a
fight together. Before that the prisoner had been heard to
call out. " Is there any rascal here belonging to Stephen
Hays ?" and upon the prosecutor interfering to prevent further
violence, the prisoner, who appeared quite furious,
thrust a knife into his stomach. During the affray
the prisoner had a knife secreted up his sleeve, and
it appeared pretty clear that he had gone to the place with
the deliberate intention to inflict bodily injury either upon
the original object of his vengeance, or some other person.
As may be expected, the injury received by the prosecutor
was of the most frightful character. He lay for eleven
months in the hospital, and the wound, after being appa•
rently healed up, had again broken open very recently, and
the consequences of the injury were, that the prosecutor was
unable to perform his usual labour, and he and his family
had ever since been mainly dependent upon the parish au-
thorities, who appeared to have acted with the av,atest
humanity in the matter. Mr. O'Brien addressed
the jury on behalf of the prisoner.—The Recorder
summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that
it was perfectly clear that he bad gone down to Ken-
sington with the deliberate intention of inflicting
deadly injury for some suppoeed wrong he had suffered,
and it was lamentable to see that persons of his
country were so apt, for the most trilling matter, to resort to
such dreadful modes of revenge. It appeared that in addi-
tion to the first stab, he had turned the knife in the wound,
evidently fur the purpose of occasioning more serious injury;
and he (the Recorder) had no hesitation in saying that if
the prosecutor had died the offence would have been murder;
which was indeed the crime he had deliberately expressed
it to be his intention to commit on the person of Stephen
Hays. He, therefore, under all the circumstances, felt it
was a case which called for a severe punishment, as a warn-
ing to all persons who, like the prisoner, were ready to inflict
such dreadful injury upon so slight a provocation. He then
sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen years.

The rising tendency of Console at the end of last
week was maintained to•day, and the market bore a re-
markably firm appearance to the close of business, although
a alight reaction upon the advanced prices took place shortly
before 3 o'clock. The cause assigned for this upward move-
ment of funded values was the scarcity of money stock. The
market opened with Consols at 95 for money, and subse-
quently improved to 951 to 11, bargain having even actually
done at 951. This important rise brought sellers forward,
desirous to realise the profits upon their accounts as previous
buyers, or in pursuance of former speculations for the fall.
Under the influence of these sales, Console slightly receded
to 964 to fur money, and 9.54 to 1 for account. Reduced
Threes, 93; to ; ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 951
to 6. The government broker made his usual pur-
chases for the savings banks in Three. and-a-Quarter
per Cents. Long Annuities 91 to 15-16. Bank Stock,
2054 to 61. India Bonds, 20e. to 235. Exchequer
bills 6s. to 10a. premium. The stationary position for
a long time past of Exchequer bills, and recently the more
decided indication of their declining value, begin to attract
attention. Money continues easy in the discount market,
and not lees so on the Stock Exchange. Funded values are
rising in price, and, pro Canto, the realisable rate of interest
becomes less. Exchequer bills alone, in this general pros-
perous condition of credit and public securities, are flagging.
The premium upon them has fallen so low that were a quan-
tity pressed upon the market for sale there would be danger
of the premium disappearing altogether, and of the bills run-
ning to a discount. With the fall of price the rate of interest
improves, however slightly, but buyers are nevertheless not
attracted. The inference from this feeble condition of the
Exchequer Bill market is, that the Bank must be a large
holder, and the government a large borrower. Should sl;th
be the case, the Bank will be naturally seeking to disburden
itself cautiously of some portion of its stock ; but the appre-
hension, if not the knowledge, of the fact that quantities of
these values may thus be hanging over the market fur e.n-
Tenient occasions of disposal, is sufficient to account for the
comparative state of depression in which they remain rela-
tively with other securities.
This has been settling day in the foreign market, in which
rather more business than usual was transacted. Spanish

IL __ WAY NB WS.
The settlement of account was yesterday the engros-
sing hominess of the day in the railway market. Generally
the values of scrips and shares remained fairly supperte,l. In
Shrewsbury and Birmingham' an improvement in prices
may be reported, with some active dealingc. The failure of a
dealer out of the Stock Exchange was mentioned, but it does
not appear to he of much considtration. A correspondent,
referring to some obvev-tione in a morning paper about the
Madrid and Valenti,' meeting, observes that that meeting,
being convened without the " knowledge of the share-
holders," its proceedings were " worthless."
The Liverpool market was gencrilly much improved in
fceliue, and there was an advance in the prices of old stocks,
as well as the best description of now ones.
The general tone of the Manchester mar'ret was healthy ;
still no great amount of business was done. Prices were
extremely firm and steady. Manches•er and Birmingham,

MEETING THIS DAY.

LONDON. -THIRTIETH or NOVEMBER. - The scene
presented yesterday at the hall of receipt for railway plans and sec-
tions, =nested strongly with that witnessed on the same day in
1845. The portals of the new railway board's chambers in Whitehall
were thrown open at an early hour. In virtue of a standing order
last session, it was necessary that all plans should be lodged
Ltore 8 p.m. The new commissiouer., however, had arranged to re-
ceive all lodged before midnight. But, taught by experience, the
mCoritv of promoters had this year got everything ready for lodg-
ment a.few days before. At intervals yesterday cabs drove up to the
commits men rooms, and, after th, documents they contained bad
been &pm...NA, drove cor again witaout any appearance of bustle or
excitement. A list of the proj. eta W 1.4 published in the Expre s
