DICKSON T. THE Ql/111IN72.PiTITION--• Or DAOHT.—The
Lord Chancellor, attt-r takitg his seat, addressing Mr. Dick •
son, said he had read his petition and the papers • ant to him
with it; but, finding that there is another case pendisg upon
a petition of right, he would dispose of them both together.
But it might be convenient to Mr. Dickson, being about to
return to Dublin, toknow that he (the Lord Chancellor) would
not encourage any further proceodings at law or in equity
in respect of the sum of 16s. 61d. He thought it right to
say so much at present, in order that Mr. Dickson might
know the !mule of his ease be.ore his return to Dublin.—

Mr. Dickson thanked his lordship.
WARM: r. Wisteria —Mr. Stuart supported a new peti
tion presented by Mrs. Wards, com:hainolg of the treatment
of the younger children who remained in the custody of Mr.
Warde. The eldest girl, who was six years of age, had no
governess or companion suitab:e to her age and position, but
was obliged to associate at meals and in her walks and drives
with a young woman who hnd been housemaid at first, but
was raised by Mr. Warde to be cook and housekeeper. From
some expressions that were heard horn her, and from the
lettan of Mr. Warde, his wife w shed it to be inferred that
he would go abroad, to avoid the consequences of his lord-
ship's judgment In the pending petition if it should be
against him, and to avoid payment of costa, and that he
would take the children out of the jurisdiction. The
learned counsel read numerous extrncta from letters and
from affidavits in support of the petition.—The Lord Chan-
cellor said that although he postpone/ his judgment
upon the petition heard by him in the private
room, in hopes that these parties might come to
an arrangement, he never had any doubt of the
order he should make. As now there was no prospect
of a reconciliation, he would give his judgment en the whole
case next Saturday. And now on this petition he would at
once make an order to restrain Mr. Warde from taking the
children out of the jurisdiction.—[We üb.tain from mention-
ing the charges contained in the passages read by counsel
against Mr. Ward., as he was not represented by counsel,
though he was served with the petition last Monday.]
LORD BROOKS V. LORD AND LADY WARWICK AND
OTISSIS.—WILL CONSTRUCTION —This WY an appeal from
• decree of Vice-Chancelfir Knight Bnim, made upon fur-
ther directions in a suit instituted for administration of the
'stater/ the late Lord Monson. He died in 1841, and by his
will made in that year he devised his estates at Hatton, in the
county of Surrey, to trustees to the use of his mother, the
Countess of Warwick, for life, remainder to We present Lord
Monson and his issue, in strict settlement, " nerd and dis-
charged from all hie debts, annuities, legacies, and bequests."
The will contained six consecutive specific bequests of differ-
ent chattels, including jai eels and ornaments of various kinds,
each bequest " freed and discharged, as aforesaid," from
debts, annuities, legacies, and other charges. The testator then
directed his debts, funeral and testamentary expenses, to be
paid out of property and incomes named by him, and after
various directions to his trustees and executers, and legacies
and annuities to servants and others, the testator gave and
bequeathed, " freed and discharged from all his debts and
liabilities, and the legacies before bequeathed, and the duties
payable on such legacies and annuities, all the rest and resi-
due of his personal estate whatsoever," to Lord Brooke,
his executors and administrators, for his end their absolute
use ; and he appointed Lord Brooke and another his execu-
tors. The portion of the personal estate which was directed
to be applied to the payment of the testator's debts and lia-
bilities was deficient so far on'y as regarded a mortgage on
the Getting estates; all other debts and charges being paid.
The main object of the suit, which was of a friendly nature,
was to ascertain out of what fund the mortgage debt should
be paid. The Vice-Chancellor held that the residue should
be applied to the payment of it —Mr. Bacon and Mr. Shad-
well, foe Lord Brooke, the residuary legatee and appellant,
' contended that the residue was, by reason of the words "freed
and discharged from all debts," 80., made a specific legacy
as much as the six expressly specific legacies which preceded
it. The residue did not exceed '3,0001. in value, and the
mortgage debt unpaid was 21,5001., so that, if that debt was
not to be paid out of the Hatton estatee, on which it was
charged, the specific legacies should all be made to contri-
bute to its payment. According to the Vice-Chancellor's
construction, Lord Brooke, ac residuary legatee, would take
nothing under the will, altheu‘h the residue was in its
terms as specific a gift, though the articles in it were not
named, as any of the other specific legacies.—Mr. Koe and
Mr. De Hex, for Lord and Lady Warwick, argued to the
same effect as the appellant's coons I, although their clients
did not join in the appeal, and it would be against their in-
terest to have the mortgage continued a charge on the
Hatton estates or paid out of the specific legacies, some of
which were given to Lady Warwick. To an objection taken
by Mr. J. Parker to the bearing of Lady Warwick's
counsel at all under the circumstances, they cited
a cue from 1 P. Wms., 300, and they were heard.—
Mr. Parker and Mr. Ores sh for the present Lord Monson
and others entitled in remainder to the Gatton estates, sup-
igrtthe Vice-Chancellor's decree.—Mr. Bacon replied._
ord Chancellor said he would give his judgment in
the morning. He did not postpone it from any difficulty
that he saw in the case ; but as the will was very long he
wished for the greaer caution to read it.
PRINCE /ALBERT O. BTRANOE.—THz ROYAL ETCHLNOS

SOMME V. BOOTIIIIT.--BILL TO SET ASIDE CONVEY-
ANCE ON MI GROUND OP FRAUD AND INADEQUACY OP
raicn.—This suit wee instituted for the purpose of setting
aside a conveyance of a reversionary interest in an estate
upon the ground of alleged fraud and inadequacy of price.
It appeared that William Blothby by his will, dated the
22d of December, 1821, devised certain property at Kirming-
ton, in Linoobishire, to his wife for life, and then to his son
Christopher for life, and after his death to his children in
manner therein mentioned, and in default of such children
they to his own right heirs for ever. Upon the death of the
testator's wife Christopher Boothby entered into posression
of the Witte. Christopher Boothby was a married man, hut
had had no children ; his age in June, 1843, was 48, and his
wile was 60. At this period an instrument was esecuted by
which C. Boothby purchased from his brother Wm. Boothby,
who was the next heir to the estate, his reversion therein
for the sum of 201., and then devised the estate to his wife,
the defendant in the snit. After this W . Boothbv, the
brother, died, having, by his will, devised all his property to
the plaintiffs, who now endeavoured to set side the convey-
ance by William to Christepher Boothby. Evidence was
produced, on behalf of the plannifis, to show that W.
Boothby, at the time of executing such conveyance, was igtio-
rant of the nature of the deed, that he was in a state of in-
tozication at the time, that no professional person was em-
ployed in transacting the business, that W. Boothby was
unable to write without having his hand guided, and that,
the sum of 201. was a most inadequate cries for the property.
—On the part of the defendant this evidence was entirely
contradicted, and it was shown that W. Beothby was per.
featly competent to understand the nature of the instrument,
which had bean prepared for the purpose of carrying, out a
previous agrtemeat, that the deed was signed by him with

his mark at twelve o'clock la the day before he bad drunk
any spirits whatever, and that the sum of 201. wu not
lees than the Yalu dike intense sold. It wu impossible to
compute what would be the value of such an estate. It bed
been valued at 7,00 W., but the tenant for life had himself
erected houses on the estate to the value of 4001., which he
might have pulled down and although he was married to a
woman who was not day to hue children, still his wife
might ham died before him and he might have married
agiun and had children, which would have entirely detested
the ht of his brother.—Mr. Bothell and Mr. Heider ap.
for the plaintiff and Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Blonley
or the defendant.—The Vice-Chancellor said there was no
actual evidence to show what was the real value of the re-
'anion sold by William to Christopher Boothby. It would
have been very difficult to have given any fixed value to such
an interest, which depended upon the fact of the tenant
for life not having children by his then existing or
any future wife. It appeared that certain buildings
had been erected by the taunt for life with money
which had belonged to his wife, but these buildings were
entirely in his power ; and as he was unitneecohable for waste
he might have taken them down and carried away the ma-
terials. It did not appear to him that there was any evi-
dence to show that William Boothby had been ignorant of
what be was about, but, on the contrary, the deed was exe-
cuted for the purpose of carrying out a previous agreement
entered into respecting the sale of the property, and it was
fully explained to him. Neither did the evidence prove that
he was intoxicated when he signed the deed, although after-
wards it wu clear that he did take more liquor than was
good for him. Under these eircusetancte there was no
ground for the court to interfere, and he should therefore
dismiss the bill with costs.

sion of the master, who undet the clauses of the Joint-Stock
Companies Winding up Act, had included among " con-

shores out of her a pirate estate. The husband had received
the dividends out his wife's behalt—Mr. Russell and Mr.
Terrell supported the motion, and Mr. Baton, Mr. Lloyd,
' and Mr. HtIISJIMMII, opposed it.—Ths Vice-Chancellor held
that 'sibs company knew the nature of the property out of
which the purchase was mad*, they could not call on the
husband to contribute.

Be PARTE HAWTWORN, WI THE SAME MATTEL—This
was • similar appeal, the party hand to be • contributory
in this cue having ceased to be a shareholder, hut not
so long ago as the three years prescribed by the 7 Geo. IV.
c. 46, s. 13, for the continuance of the liability of former
shareholders.—Mr. Russell and Mr. Bates were for the
motion, and Mr. Bacon, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Ileadlam, in
support of the master's decision.—The Vice• Chancellor con-
firmed the finding, holding the late shart-holders to come
within the third section of the Joint,Stock Companies Wind-
ing-up Act, which includes among contributories persons
liable to contribute as former members.
Ex PART'S AIIMmTHONO, IN THE /AMR MATTER —The ap-

aends on his testator's shares, but was not registered in his

Mr. Readlam. —The Vice-Chancellor held that the executor
was not a " contributory."

been received from the estate of the principal, amounted to
20.. in the pounC.—Mr. Russell and Mr. Pryor supported
the petition, and Mr. Wigram and Mr. Cloldemid for the
respondents, contended that at all events the petitioners
were only entitled to stand in the place of the creditor, as to
so much of the amount proved as was equal to the dividend
paid by their estate.—The Vice-Chancellor, however, held
that they were entitled to receive the dividends until they
acre fully repaid the dividends paid by their bankrupt's

of en attempt to carry into effect an order made by the Court
of Aldermen for stopping up Angel-slier, in Bishorgate-

the defendant's property, the plaintiff and some other per-
sons in the neighbourhood gave notice of their intention to
pull it down, and thus vindicate the right of Yoe public to
the thoroughfare. They accordingly 'prceeded to carry
out their purpose, when the defendant, it was al-
leged, ordered the plaintiff to be taken into custody,
charging him with committing a riot, in COMA,-
queuce of which he was imprisoned fur several slays
in the absence of bail. Au indictment wee also preferred
auinst him at the Central Criminal Court, but was subse-
quently abandoned. The defence was, that the defendant
had had nothing whatever to do with the proceedings, and
had not given the plaintiff into custody, the police having
taken that step on their own responsibility, and Mr. Alder-
man Copelend (the alderman of theward) having directed
the sub.equent prosecution ; the jury found for the plain-

VILLTUIL V. PAINTInt.—A QUESTION- OF MALICE.—Mr.
Peter Borthwlek and Mr. Simon appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Holligan was counsel for the defendant. This was
an action brought by a cab driver against the defendant, to
recover compensation in damages for the latter having given
him into custody on the 25th of April, 1848, on a
charge of felony, and also en the following day
having appeared before the magistrate to ;proaecute the
charge.—Mr. Borthwick, in stating the case to the jury, said,
that on the 2.5 th of April, last year, the plaintiff hired a cab
of a Mr. Humphreys, a cab proprietor, for the purpose of fol-
lowing his occupation. He took the cab out, but was unfor-
tunate enough to meet with an accident, by which it became
necessary to have a new wheel put upon it. For the purpose
of t ffecting that object the plaintiff returned with his horse
only to the yard in which Mr. llumphreye resided, and on
asking that person's wife what he had better do to get a new
wheel, she desired him to harness his horse to a cart which
stood in the yard, in order that he might bring the wneel
back in it. During the time that the plaintiff was harnessing
his horse to the cart, the defendant came into the
mews, and demanded of him what he wax doing with the
cart, upon which the plaintiff desired the defendant to mind
his own business. The defendant then took off his coat for
the purpose of fighting the plaintiff, who however, proved
the better man of the two, and compelled the defendant to
retire from the contest. A third party who war present sub-
sequen•ly fetched a policeman, and the defendant pave the
plaintiff into custody for attempting to steal the cart, which
he alb geld was his property. The constable took the plaintiff
to the station house, where he was locked up until the fol-
lowing morning, the charge aot being a bailable one. The
neat day the case was investigated (Afore Mr. Broughton,
who, on hearing the whole of the facts, discharged the
plaintiff. This action was therefore brought to recover com-
pensation in damages for the injury which the plaiutiff bad
sustained at the hands of the defeadant.
Evidence was then adduced on behalf of the plaintiff, by
which it appeared that he had taken the cart by the direc-
timi of Mrs. Humphreys, who stated that it was used by
various parties in the mews when they required it. The
cart actually belonged to a person of the name of Hopton,
but was under the care of the defendant. The defendant
was told, after he had given the plaintiff ioto custody, that
he had taken the cart by the direction of Mrs. Humphreys,
but he still persisted in the charge which he made against
At the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Justice Wightnian
observed that he thought there was a reasonable and pro-
bable cause for the defendant having given the plaintiff
into custody. It appeared that at ten o'clock at ni (In the
defendant saw a man harnessing a horse to a cart which was
under his care, and on demanding of the plaintiff why he did
so, he was told that he had no right to ask the question. The
defendant was not informed until after he had given the
plaintiff into custody that he had taken the cart by Mrs.
Humphreys' order. Under these circumstances he (Mr.
Justice Wightman) was of opinion that the defendant had
a reasonable and probable cause for believing that the plaintiff
was about to commit a 'elony. He would ask the jury
whether they believed the defendant was actuated by malice
in charging the plaintiff with attempting to steel the cart,
and if they ',plied in the negative there would be an end of
the case.
The jury did not return any anawer to this question, but
one of them said causedd a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages I 01.," which great laughter.
Mr. Justice Wightman replied that he did not ask the
jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, but to say whether
, they considered there was any malice on the part of the de-
I fendant in giving the plaintiff into custody, and in prosecut-
ing the charge before the magistrate.
A great deal of discussion here ensued, during which the
counsel for the plaintiff claimed the verdict as having been
given in his favour, because, he contended, that the jury had
expressed their opinion that there was malice by the verdict
which they had returned.
The Foreman of the jury here said that they had not re-
turned a verdict, but It was merely the remark of one
juror.
Mr. Justice Wightman then called upon Mr. Holligan to
address the jury on behalf of the defendant, as they had
not expressed any opinion as to whether the defendant had
been actuated by malice or not.
Mr. Halligan very briefly addressed the jury, contending
that the defendant had not given the plaintiff into custody
front any malicious motive.
Mr. Justice Wightman, in summing up, said that for-
merly in actions for malicious prosecutions it was meal to
leave two questions to the jury ; first, whether the defend-
ant was actuated by malicious motives in giving the plaintiff
into custody and, secondly, whether the defendant had
any reasonable or probable cause for believing that thitt
plaintiff had committed the offence with which be charged
him. Now, however, the latter question was opt entir

The plaintiff in this action represented herself as the " house-
keeper" to the defendant, a barrister in the Temple, and
sought to recover the sum of 11. Se. Id. for balance o: wages,
coffee, tea, firewood, and attendance. She stated that she
had been engaged at 4s. a week for " looking after the de-
fendant and hh two rooms," one of the rooms was a little
lame than the witneas-box—(laughter) —but alllaundremee

coffee, but made it in a baron and charged it as a " bowl" of

to the usual rate, as she could prove ; did not agree at to
terms, but told the defendant she would " do for him" as she
had done for a good many. Had received money
on account. Defendant grumbled, and mid that he
was charged three times as much as he would have been at

ties to the claim was thatthe charges ware monstrous—there
was double the quantity charged for that was used, and
cud. per cent. charged upon the amount. —The learned
judge (to plaintiff): Have you got any witness? Plaintiff:
Yes, my lord ; one to prove everything is right ; one of my
own class, as knows what things is, and what they ought to
be.—The Judge : It she proves everything to bu right, she
will be a valuable witness.—lsabella Reeve was called, and
declared everything wu charged at a fair and regular price,
and the defendant not being able to rebut the fact of the
charges being customary, a verdict was given for U. Is. Id.,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Yorraanar.
Before Mr. Comlido= Arabtangos.
Re BINSI/BAN AND CO —Tin three bankrupts who had
tra led under this firm as merchants in Great Prescott-street,
applied for their certificates. It was stated on the part of
the assigns= that they should offer no opposition, but leave
the /01101. =Wray in his Honour's hands.-11r. Lawrence,
for the banknipta, said the ease was one of very gnat misfor-
tune. The Muss bed been established great part of a cen-
tury, bat had yielded to the serious pressure of 1847.
Their traneastires had been large, but not of a specu-
lative ishansart. They were clearly solvent in 1841 ;
but many good debts then owing to them afterwards became
bad. Though their capital might appear small, in propor-
tion to their dear" it should be remembered that they
were eommieden agents, as well as merchants ; while their
gross prelim load been 68,0001., their trade expenses bad
been ally 211.1001. It was clear from this that they had
boon easy lag en • healthy business—the animal of losses
on the other-side 80,0001., being purely mercantile losses,
resulting from the bad state of trade. They bad lost in one
sum 22,0001. in February, 1847 ; such losses as these were
sufficient to overwhelm any house. During the whole of
1847, the question had not beset which houses would fail,
but which would stand. The credit of Beaman and Co.
was undoubted ; end it would be seen that, at the period of
their failure, they owed less than they had done six
months before. They had not resorted to the practice
of larrly increasing their stock, in order to improve their
estate; bat had used their credit sparingly. Hed they done
so they might have come here presenting a larger amount of
assets, bat they had preferred at one* to put themselves in
the heads of their creditors. Sines that period, now 14
month, they had been most assiduous in assisting the
earliness. Thom gentlemen had naturally been anxious to
ascertain whether there was any fraud or oincoalment of
property, hat nothing of the kind appearing, the bankrupts
had planed their last examination without opposition, and
were not append on this oceardon. Had the law stood as it
did some onus ego, so doubt the bankrupts would at ones
have resolved their metilleates. Their position was truly an
unfortunate one; and if their certificates were withheld they
most make up their miads to starve. Looking at the posi-
tion they had occupied, their personal expenses had been by
no means largo. The private estate of Joshua L. Ben.
=lan had already paid a dividend of 104. in the pound.
The ugh the books of the firm had not been kept with mer-
cantile accuracy, the ash =emu= was regular ; and the de-
ficiency had already fallen on the bankrupts themselves by
the delay it had occasioned. There was teething here in the
shape of accommodation paper; their dealings bad been
strictly of • mormatile character. Until 1847, they were
utterly unsonscions = the position in whisk they stood. It
might he said they ought to have stopped i. 1847, when this
large ism was made ; but it appeared that their position had
'Mull, heels improved doom that time. They had corns here

obliged to discard her on mount of her vicious propensities,
and that, upon searching her at the station, a
letter was found in her pamsasion, addressed to her by her
father, a solicitor, formerly in extensive prattle., couched
in the moat affecting, terms, reproaching her bittieigifir hit
habits of drunkear.ses and crime, which had oom him,
after repeated fcrgivenese, to turn her from roof, and
expressing his iutention us refuse her all support after that
week. Upor., being questioned by the magistrate, the pri-
sons/ merely said that her family were anxious to send her
to South Australia, or some other place out of this country,
and the, ale was determined not to comply with such un-
reasonable expectations.—Mr. Hammitt felt it his duty to
remand her, to afford the police time to make further in-
quiries respecting her previous course of life.
BZWEVOLINCIL—The magistrate acknowledged his receipt
of the undermentioned contributions for the nefit of Mr.
Smith, the sculptor, and his distressed family: From "J. G.,"
per Mr. Goodman, of the Mansion-house, 51. ; " A. T. " 10s.;
" R. G.," per editor ed the Guardian, 10s.; " A Lady at
Ramagate," 10s.; "Mrs. Stewart Sullivan," Devonshire-
place, 21.; in addition to which the magistrate had also re-
calved 21. for the poor-box from " A. B."
MARLBOROUGH 81'RBET.—Finnsaso,Txx ROYAL
PALACIM tie Faexcn.—A foreign gentleman addressed
Mr. Hardwick in French, stating that he was the owner of
the picture produced in court, some short time ago, in the
proceedings against parties wbo were eudeavourieg to dia-
-1 pose of a large quantity of diamond, and other valuables,
alleged to have been stolen from the Palace of the Tuileries
and the Chateau de Needle ; and that the picture eras de-
tained from him by the Baron de Bandage's. When the
charge against
and U. Baulnier was undergoing investigation, he had been
summoned from Paris, with other parti,s, to give evidence
of the fact of the Baron de Bausgnes having become law
tally possessed of the prcperty found in his presersion, and
seized by the police on the plan that it was the private pro-
perty of Louis Philippe. The picture in question be (ap-
plicant)had bought in Puis,after the abdication, for 3.5 f , end
he had entrusted it to M. Saulnier to dispose of in London.
The proceedings had terminated, as the magistrate was
' aware, by the custom-house officers taking possession of al
the property until it could be satisfactorily proved that it
had paid duty on beirg brought over. The pictur: in ques-
tion had paid the regular duty, and it was now in possession
of the Baron de Bassagnes. When he applied for its ri ti-
t ration the Baron, who was a most honourable man, and a
man of improperty, had refused to deliver it up, and con-
sequently, way of reprisal, he had seized a valuable cash
mere shawl Waning to the Baron which he intended to
keep possession of until he got back his picture. Mr. Hard-
wick asked the applicant if he was aware General Cha•
Unties had stated that the picture had beencut from 'larger
picture in one of the Royal palaces of France.—The applicant
said he was. He had bought it at the time on speculation.
He had written to the tilting to say that, provided he were
repaid the 3M. he had given for the picture, he would restore
it. He had received a reply from Gen. Chabannee, referring
him to Mr. Humphreys, solici•or. The applicant here pro.
doped the letter and answer in corroboration of his state-
ment.—Mr. Hardwick said if the Baron de Bement s
the honourable man applicant said he was, how was it he
detained the picture from the presumed owner ?—The ap-
saii this was not the least curious part of the affair.
bet was the Baron was completely under the control of
the husk Delorke. About twelve years ago the Baron
bums paralysed, and meeting with Madame Delorice, she
persuaded him that his infirmities were the result of an evil
eye, that he was bewitched, and she knew the secret of ball-
ing his enemy and restoring him to his bodily faculties. The
baron took Madame Delorice to live with his as companion,
and sines that period she had assumed an empire over him
that would appear to border on romance were he tint pre-
pared to authenticate his assertions.—Mr. Hardwick said the
ownership of the pictur. was very questionable, and he did
not see how he could interfere. The applicant would do
best if he waited until the baron went back to France, and
then the question of ownership could be submitted to a
French tribunal.—The applicant thanked the magistrate,
and withdrew.

ALLEGED ILLIQAL SEtzuzz.—An application was made
on behalf of Miss Emma Stanley, of the Princess's Theatre,
by Mr. Hughes, solicitor, for a summons against Messrs.
Cape and Seas, to oblige them to give the address of their
client (one Mrs. Edmonds), who on the Ist of December
last seized Miss Stanley's property to the amount of 5001.
for the sum of 801., said to be due to Mrs. Edmonds fur
rent by one Loyd, from whom Miss Stanley took apart,
manta in Conduit-street, no rent being due to Loyd by
Mies Stanley, whose property was sold by public auction
for one-fifth of its value. She now sought redress from
Mrs. Edmonds, who is represented as a person of large
property. and the Messrs. Cape refused to give up her ad-
dress—The magistrate, after eov menting upon the bard
ship of the ease, said at present it was merely an ex parte
statement. He must, therefore, refuse to grant the sum-
/110os.

SOUTHWARK.—Ccuitot BATES.—Mr Binns, soli•
shot attended by Mr. Hearn and a number of gentlemen
connected with Bt. George, Southwark, waited upon Mr.
Cottiagbani for his advice under the following circum-
stances :—A short time ago a church rate was illegally im-
posed upon the ratepayers by the churchwarden., the Gorse-
qnence was that a vast number objected to pay it, and
1,700 parishioners were summoned before two justices at the
vestry, aid ordered to pay. Since then a committee of the
parishioners was formed to oppose the proceedings ; and at
the last Surrey sessions an appeal was entered by two par-
ties- against the rate, aid the churchwardens not appearing,
the rate was quuhcd. Notwithstanding these proceedings
the churchwardens hays employed a broker who has
made a demand, with a shilling for each summons, and
unless paid within a few days they parties will be distrsined
upon. He wished to know, after the proceeding' which
took place at the StlliollP, whether the churchward. as had
the power to enforce the rata I—Mr. Cottinghani said that if
it was quashed they bid not. L the broker distrained they
might bring their action for traspass.—Mr. Bint,s thanked
his worship for his advice, which his clients would decidedly
act under.

WA.NDSWORTH.—BANITABY PROCEIBDINOB.—Mr. B.
Field, solicitor, and clerk to the guardians of the Wandsworth
and Clapham union, preferred 17 summonses against owners
and occupiers of premises situated in Battersea. The sum-
monses were principally (Cr permitting the existence of foe,
drains and offensive cesspools dangerous to health.—The
usual order in such cases was mode.

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNINIDAT RIMMING.

The settlement of the account, of which this was
the pay day, has had the effect of improving the
funds. This may be accounted for by the fact that
the very considerable balances against the speculators
for the tall have been in geceral so well met. The ap-
prehensions entertained about the consequences of
French intervention in Italy have also very much
subsided. Consols from 89j gradually ascended to
892 to j for money, and 891 to 90 for account, at
which they left off, with an extremely good market.
Reduced Threes were 90 to ; Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 90i to 2. Long Annuities, 82 to 13-16.
Exchequer Bills, 41s. to 445. prem. India Bonds,
435. to 465. prem. Bank Stock, 189 to 190.
The foreign market was well supported, and prices
either in advance, or extremely firm. Chiliao, the
meet really solid Spanish American security, advanced
to 88 to 92, and were bought at 90. Brazilian, 761
to 771. Mexican, 262 to 7. New Granada. 16 to 1.

In respect of the failure on the Stock Exchange,
reported this morning, it is to be observed there was a
mistake. The defaulter was not a cousin of the Roths-
child', although of the same name as relatives of
theirs in the house and out of it.

The extraordinary rise in Venezuela bonds, not
only a non-dividend paying stock, bat moreover the
securities of a state involved in all the miseries of civil
war, has excited a natural curiosity in interested
quarters. A " Constant Reader" writes, in conse-
quence, to ask whether it be true that there is some
particular speculation going forward f r the purpose
of facilitating the re-issue of " that part of the debt
which was cancelled during General Soublette's pre-
sidency;" as he states is " generally believed to be the
case." We shall be obliged to ear correspondent for all
such further information in the matter as he may pee-
wee, or be able to procure, with, of course, the proper
verification. It is particularly desirable that such in-
formation, powered by individual', shall be afforded,
in view of the Peruvian " rig," about which, leaving
Senor Own ample time for reply to the letter of the
secretary of the Spanish American ,committee, pro-
fessing to write in their name, but by Ammo members
of that committee disavowed in its facts, BO much
more discredit is cast upon mast of the
Spanish American escwities. Venezuela were
