His Honour gays hie decision in this matter, which was
an application from a Mr. Marshall, who formerly practised
as a solicitor in Birmingham, to be replaced on the roll of
solicitors, from which his name was erased about eleven
years Iwo. his Honour said he considered that, although
the applicant was properly struck off, yet that, considernur
the greet length of time during which he had suffered, and
his good behaviour since be was struck off, that the applica-
tion was supported by the society of solicitors at Birming-
ham, and that there was no opposition, he should best act
by restoring him to the roll of solicitors, and he should
make an order accordingly.

TION ABOUT TEE OPERA Hoven.
The litigation in these suits has now been pending in the
Court of Chancery ever since the year 1807, concerning
the Opera Mouse, between the late Mr. Waters and Mr.
Taylor, and between Water, and Chambers. The suits
now came on upon further directions and upon several peti-
tions, the two most important of which are a petition by
the assignees of Chambers for payment of the balance found
due from the orate of Waters to the estate of Chambers out
of a large fund in court standing to the credit of the snit of
' Waters and Taylor. The other petition is that of the ad-
ministratriz of Waters claiming the benefit in reduction of
tko balance found due to Chambers of the arrears of an an-
I unity of 2501. which had been charged on the Opera Rouse,
and which was alleged to have been vested iuWatrrs. In op-
position to the petition of Chambers's assignees who claimed
a lien on the fund in court, some of the subsequent in-
, cumbrancers disputed such lien, but the Vice-Chancellor
decided on this branch of the argument, that they were
entitled to the lien. The argument has since proceeded
on the petition of Waten's administratriz, and is not yet
concluded.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Amphlet appeared for the assignees of
Chambers ; Mr. Wilcock and Mr. Tripp, for the represen-
tativn of the assignees ; and Mr. Glare and Mr. Wichena
for the incumbranoers.

HOME CIRCUIT.

JULY 12.

The business of the amiss for the county of Ewe: cem•
Forayed this morning at ten o'clock. the Lord Chief Baron
presiding on the crown side, and Mr. Justice Creswell at
nisi prim. On the civil side twelve causes are entered, four
of which are special jury eases. The criminal business is
also heavy.
Barons rte Lots Caw Bases.

Thomas Cornett, 27, was indicted foe hors• stealing.
This case was rather a singular ono. The prisoner was
tried last week at the Central Criminal Colin for stealing
• pony and chaise, and it appeared that seeing the animal
tied up to a gate while the owner was engaged in the house
upon some besieges, he had driven the animal away, and
had galloped about Epping Forest until he was taken into
custody. The evidence of Mr. M'Murdo, the surgeon of
Newest°, upon this occasion, was that the prisoner ap-
peared to be of a weak and flighty mind, and his impression
was that he did not think he was doing any wrong by tak-
ing away the hone and chaise, and his own story was that
he merely wished to have a ride. Upon *me facts
he was acquitted, and it appeared that immediately
upon his discharge from custody be went to a
place called Little Canfield, near Dunmaw, and seeing a
pony grazing in a field, he caught it, and having made •
sort of bridle with his braces, he in that state galloped off
with the animal a distance of seven miles. A hue and cry
was soon raised, and one of the Ease: constabulary set off
in pursuit, and came up with the prisoner with the ani-
mal in his possession. Upon his attempting t, take him
into custody the prisoner resisted, and it was with a good
deal of difficulty that he was secured.
The Lord Chief Baron having observed upon t►e singular
nature of the evidence, made some inquiries respecting the
prisoner, and
Mr. Anderson, the pvernor of Ilford gaol, stated that be
had been in his custody for assaulting • policeman, and on
the same day he was discharged he was brought back to him
again upon • similar charge, and his conduct was so violent
that he was compelled to handcuff him. After his discharge
he came again into him custody for horse-stealiog, and he
conveyed him to Newgate. lie also said that he had been
informed that the prisoner had received a hurt on the
bead, which had affected his brain.
When the prisoner was celled upon for his defence, be
replied that he had nothing to say. Retook the hone, and
it was taken away from him again.
The consta►le said that the prisoner told him he had
seen a nice cream-coloured pony in the pasture, and he
intended to have had that if be could.
The Lord Chief Baron, .in leaving the case to the jury,
said that no prisoner ought to be acquitted of an offence on
the ground of insanity unless the evidence was quite con-
clusive, and in the present case he certainly did not think
there were sufficient ground. for the jury to come to the
conclusion that the prisoner was of unsound mind and
unable to distinguish between right and wrong.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
Guilty, but his lordship deferred passing sentence until
some farther inquiry was made respecting the prisoner.

A deputation, Appointed at the borough meeting,
held at &idler's Wells Theatre, on the 28th ult., attended
is Downing-street, on Thursday last, to present a memorial
to Lord Aberdeen, respecting the proposed mirk for Fins.
bury and the City of London. The deputation was intro-
duced by Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., and attended by
Messrs. Roger Cunliff, G. W. Alexander, J. J. Downes,
F.R.S., W. Tyler, John Barnett, James Lloyd, and others.
Lord It. daosvaixon stated that he was deputed by a
'meeting of between 2,000 and 3,000 of the inhabitants to
present their memorial to his lordship, and as the memorial
contained the who:e ease so repeatedly brought before and
approved of by her Majesty's government, he would at ones
read it to his lordship.
The Goble lord then read the memorial, which referred to
the largo population of Finsbury, amounting to 500,080 per-
sons ; to the desirability of forming • park for their accom-
modation and rsereadon ; to several governments having
expressed themeless favourable to the formation of a park,
to be called "The Albert Park ;' and that, in fact, Lord J.
Russell's gimoremeat had gime bodes of its inteation to
bring in a bill ea Me smignet. MAWR. read the memorial,
his lordship briefly remerhod that the Mbabitaats were in a
state of almost feverish waist, lest the armies sheald does
before their prayer was granted.
Lord ABIRDZXN replied—Both as a minister and in ac-
cordaeco with my own feelings, I entirely concur is the
payer of the memorial. I cordially approve of the unsure,
but I must refer you to the Chancellor of the Eachequer,who
Is alone aware of the funds he bas at his command for the
purpose. Since last I had the honour of receiving the de-
putation I have made myself fully acquainted with the
whole subject, and I was not then aware that the govern-
ment had proceeded so far in the matter as I end it had
done. I think it would be monstrous to throw obstacles in
the way of such a sanitary essatura, but I must stall refer
you to the Cheapener.
• Mr. A lannexua besought kis lordship to allay the anxiety
felt on this subject. It was the prayer of the poorer classes
of Finsbury, for whom be pleaded, that they might partake
of some of those sanitary benefits which were so amply pro-
vided for other portions of the metropolis. The ground was
now becoming so completely under the control of the
builder, that, unless at ono" secured, all hope of the park
must be relinquished. This was the most favourable time,
both for the government and for the country, for carrying
out • measure that would prove a lasting benefit to
London.
Mr. Ltoro begged to remind his lordship that since they
last had the honour of an interview, the government had
passed nearly all their gigantic measures, and could now
afford to lend a patient hearing to those who had been for
nearly nine years pleading is vain. Indeed, within the last
21 hours, the surplus revenue which bad been shown had
astonished and gratified a contented people. Ile would,
therefore, humbly propose that the government should re-
tain the surplus minim, and grant a portion of the
fractional parts towards forming • park for the borough of
Finsbury.
Lori keenly Oanavairea said be would that evening
contrive to see Mr. Gladstone, sgrseably with the sugges-
tions of the noble lord, and would endeavour to arrange
for an immediate deputation to the Chancellor of the
Bachequer.

Foozis THI TOUNOIR V. STRUTT.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries re-
ceived by the plaintiff by his being shot by the defen-
dant.
It appeared that the plaintiff wee a young man, the son
of • labourer, living at Salon, in this county, and the de-
fendant was the son of the steward or broker of • gentleman
living at a place called Abbott's-bill, La the same Parish.
It seemed that on the morning of the 20th June last year
the plaintiff wee out with a gun in some marshes of which
the defendant's father had the charge, for the purpose, es
he said, of shooting rabbits, when the defendant seeing bow
he was employed, called to him. He ran off, and the de-
fendant told him to stop, and, because he did not do so, he
fired at him and wounded him very severely.
Mr. Rodwell, in his address for the defense, admitted
that the defendant had acted unjustifiably, but ha urged in
mitigation that the plaintiff was evidently poaching and
trespassing, and that the position of the defendant utterly
precluded him from paying heavy damages.
Mr. Justice Creswell said that it wee perfectly clear that
the defendant had committed a meet wanton and improper
act, and be might think himself very lucky that the matter
had been made the subject of • civil enquiry, for if the
plaintiff bad died he would most certainly have been tried
for wilful murder.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff..Thunages 201.

Anse Permit, 22, pleads/ guilty to an indictment in
which she wee charged with stealing eleven brooches, eleven'
rings, and amber of other articles of jewellery, the pro-
perty of John Neal, her employer.
The prosecutor was a silversmith at 18, Edgeware-road,
land the prisoner had been his shop-assistant, but for a few
days only, and she pilfered the articles mentioned in the in-
dictment from time to time. She was searched and tome of
[btu& wire found idlest her and others were found in her
boa at her brother's residence. She hal bees a stall-keeper
at the Pantbetm. . .

Kr. Cooper Wakened the court in mitigation of punish-
ment. He stated that the prisoner was the daughte• of
very respectable parents, and had never had a stain on
her character until this offence was committed. She had
given way to • sudden temptation, and the prosecutor re-
oommended her to mercy.
The Assistant Judge sentenced her to sin months' hard
labour.

Margaret Monaghan, 28, was indicted for stealing sic

articles, the property and money of Edward Tyler, her
master.
The prosecutor is a publican. keeping the Colville Arms

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 13, ' 853.

This he did ou the night of the 17th of June, and on the j
following morning, en examining the till, he found that;
two sispeaces and two fourpenny pieces marked, and about
two shisnags' worth of halfpence not marked, had been
taken out. On the following night he did the same thing,
and both silver and copper were missed next morn-
ing, and he then applied to tha police, and on the
night of the 19th marked money was again
placed in the till, and an officer took up a position
in the wholesale department, from which he had a
full view of the bar and the staircase. Shortly before six
in the morning the prisoner stole down stairs, quite un-
dressed, with a shawl thrown across her shoulders, and
went up to the counter and from the till took out some of
the money it contained. As she wee about to go up stairs
the officer got across the counter, and went after her, when
hearing the noise she screamed out, "Muter, master,
here's a man interfering with me at the closet door." The
officer told her he bad got her for robbing her master's till,
when she dropped a quantity of coppers, and exclaimed,
" Oh, my Ocd, what tempted me to do this." Observing
that she had some silver in her mouth the officer compelled
her to eject it, and it proved to be two sixpenoee and a four-
penny piece marked. On searching her box the other
marked money was found, and a bottle of gin, part of ano-
ther, and some tobacco, which the prosecutor believed to be
his. When placed qefore the magistrate she said she had
nothing to say except that she was quite guilty.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Witham said he should treat this as a very serious case,
for there could be no doubt that she had been carrying on •
systematic scheme of plunder on her master. It was a
common thing with Irish servants to do this to make up a
fund to carry them to Canada, the place they mostly emi-
grated to, and he had no hesitation in thinking that this
had been the prisoner's object, es she was a married woman,
and her husband was in America. She had, besides, been
the means of throwing suspicion on others, as would appear
from a letter seat to the prosecutor, which he would Had.
It was as follows :

He declared that be owed to the woman Repert net more
than ',Mr, for which stun he had passed her his note of
hand. This assertion was denied by the woman Repert,
who declared that when he had offered her an acknow-
ledgment for the money which he owed bee, she bad re-
fused to take it, so greet was her confidence in him. The
court, considering the charge of swindling to be fully
proved, condemned Jaeger to three years' imprisonment.

14, Derby-street, King's cross, July 4, 1853.
Sir—l was agreeably surprised upon reading the paper of
the 26th ultimo, to find you had discovered the thief who,
for so long a time, had been robbing you, and almost
ruined the character of her fellow servants, and I have
takes this opportunity of letting yon know that Mary
Saunders (now say wife), who was formerly in your service,
has seen the paragraph also, and she hopes that the fact of
the real thief being known to you has chased from your mind
the ungenerous suspicion you at one time entertained. I feel
oery glad myself, for although I had no doubt of her
honesty, It was extremely unpleasant and annoying to me
that she had been even for one moment suspected. Trust-
ing that you will not consider this too great a liberty and
I
that yourself, Mrs. Tyler, and family, ere quite well, am,
sir, yours, &c., CHARLII4 Porn, jun.—To Mr. B. Tyler."
Mr. Witham remarked that he considered that a very
proper letter, and sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned
and kept to bard labour for twelve calendar wombs.
