COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Clutinzatt..
Delon Lard Deem= and a Cremes Jury.
ALLEN V. KNIGHT —DILIVIRT OF 000D5 By AOZNCT
OF A CAIISIIR.—This action was brought to recover coin- •
pessation for the Ices of the forms for printing the " Paragon
Almanack " and the " Rat Almanack," which had been

typed. The defendants alleged that they had caused the
forms to be stereotyped in compliance with the instructions
of the plaintiffs, and had forwarded them to the plaintiff's so
stereotyed by delivering them, properly addressed and
packed for transmission by railway, according to the direo-
tions of the plaintiffs, at an office of certain railway carriers,
at the Swan and Two Necks, Lad-lane, The questions be-
. tween the parties, therefore, were let, whether there had I
been a delivery, in feet, at the Senn and Two Necks; and
2nd, whether the eireenstances under which that delivery
bad taken place amoanted in law to a delivery to the plain-
tiffs. The evidence was of a conflicting character, the
clerks from the office at the Swan and Twe Necks
denying any knowledge of the package in questiom, either
on the partscular day named as that on which it was de-
livered, or any other day. The defendants porter and a
boy in their establishment deposing, on the other hand, that
they had delivieed the package on the particular day, had
booked it, and bad been told that they were too late to have
it forwarded by the train of that evening. They did net
take a receipt for it, but they swore te • prison of the name

after the hour at which Yr. Turner usually leaves:
but he admitted readily that occasionally he stayed a short
time after his usual hour, and did the work of the clerk
whore duty it was to relieve him..
Lord Denman, in maiming up, told the jury that, as the
plaintiffs had directed the goods te be forwarded by the rail-
way company, they had made the company their agents for
receiving them, and therefore that delivery to the plaintiffs
was effected by placing the goods within the con-
trol of the railway company, or its agent, at an '
or-
dinary plate of conducting its business as carriers
It was not necessary, in his opinion, that a receipt
should have been taken, the duty of the defendants being to
deliver, and the receipt being only an acknowledgment of
delivery, and not an act of delivering. The only question for
them, therefore, was, whether or not the facts deposed to by
the witnesses for the defence had taken place.—The jury
' retired at about half-past sic o'clock, and returned into court
at a quarter to eight .o'clock, with a verdict for the de-
' hadants.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

BARKER V. TRAOI.7I.—NON-LLARILITY OP PROVISIONAL
Conntereamen.—This was an action brought by the plain.,
tiff, an advertising agent in the city, to recover from the
defendant his proportion of a demand for 1,2001. for adver-

ber, 1845 but the defendant's name was not published as
a member of the committee until the 29th of October. The
celebrated panic occurred about the lith, and the result
produced upon this, like many other bona fide achemm,
was, that the shares applied for were not paid upon, and the
undertaking was abandoned. It was then arranged that the
committeemen should pay 601 each to cover the expenses
incurred, but the defendant declined to pay anything what.

responsibility, and that he had merely interested himself in
the line as a member of the corporation of Penryhn, a town
which would, he thought be benefited by the completion cf
the proposed railway.
The Lord Chief 'Baron, upon the authority of Reynell o.
Lewis, and the other cues decided by the Court of Exche-
quer, as to the exemption from liability of provisional com-
mitteemen who merely consented to permit their names to be
published 'smith, was of opinion that there was no evidence
to fix the defendant, and ordered a nonsuit to be entered.—
Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Wiles appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Rowe for th• defendant.
A bill of exceptions was tendered to his lordship's ruling,
and the plaintiff was nomuited.

Tie owners of the Highlander in this awe, seek
esopensation for damages at the coat of the owners of
the (Hoy King under these circumstances. The former
ship (217 tons burthen), was bound to Rotterdam,
with pig iron. The latter was proceeding from Liverpool
to Glasgow, with a general cargo, in charge of an unlicensed
pilot, and in tow of a steam tug. The Highlander was at
anchor, and on the pare of the Giply King it was contended
that the other vessel was improperly moored, in deep water,
and that space was not left for a fair poser.. Hence the
action. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Hayford were lint
heard on the question of the berth taken up by the High-
lander, and without further argument, the Court put it to
the Trinity masters if the law was oorrect ea he had laid it
down, that if a vessel ran against soother at anchor, and did

lied, then, the Glop King room to pass and avoid the cot-
illion, and had the Highlander her anchor propertyleid oat ?
The Trinity masters held that there was plenty of room for
the vessel to have paned, but a steamer had other ships in
tow, which made the Gipsy King swag about like the tell
of a kite. The Highlander was entirely free from blame.
—The learned Judge said the point of law as to the pilot
being responsible must stand over until Monday, it being too
late to go on with the arguments that day.

that in consequence of the description he received of the I
offenders he succeeded in apprehending the prisoners at a
house in Ann-street, Rotherhithe, and that when apprised
of the nature of the charge against them they simply denied
it. The prisoners were than remanded.
WANDSWORTIL—WitoLessce MILD fiviaLtna.—
AVMS Watt, James lllDonaki, and Robert aktdow, three
Plumbers, were charged under the following circurnatanoss :
It appeared that on the previous evening Space, a policeman
of the V division, No. 44, noticed the prisonm Watts and
M'Donald arrive at the Nine Elms terminus of the South.
Western Railway by an up-train, and seeing Watts bad
something heavy about him, stopped him, when M'Donald
ran away. Space gave Watts into the care of two gentle-
men, and pursued M'Donald into the Wandsworth-road,
where he captured him, and took him back to the terminus,
and then found 321bs. of lead on Watts. Bent, 95 V, came
to his assistance, and on searching M'Donald they found on
him 381bs. of new sheet lead. Beth prisoners said they found
it en the road, but eventually admitted that they had been
to Kingston in search of work, and that the third prisoner,
Obtdow, who, with other plumbers, was working fur Mr.
Dean, of Earl-street, Westminster, the contractor for erecting
a Roman Catholic chapel at Kingston, had thrown the lead
down to them from the top of the building, and he was also
subsequently taken into custody.—The prisoners were re
mended until Thursday next.
John Franklin, another plumber, was charged with a
similar offence. On the previous night he was stopped in
the Wandsworth-road, by Beet, 95 V, who found a piece of
lead in his trousers packet. Re bad been at work that day
for Mr. Charnock, a builder. —Re was also remanded.

and the prisoner said he had been out three ye', he had
been trading two years of that time backwards and forwards
for himself, and had brought home some precious stones
which he called diamonds. He pointed them out, and
maid that they were of little value in the country in which
be bad got them, but valuable here. He gave witness a
pateist to sell for him, and said he wanted 5501. for them.
He Inked • neighbour of his called Hoare, whether he
. knew any lady who would be likely to become • purchaser,
and he replied that he had • friend who might buy
them, and he mentioned the name of Mr. Gideon,
who lived at Sparrow-corner, Tower-hill, and to whom they
then proceeded. That person sent for Mr.' Benjamin.
Benjamin came, and said he would take the diamonds to the
market. They then went to the Royal Exchange, and Ben-
jamin offered them to a person who refused to purchase
them, but told Benjamin to go to his office and speak to his
clerk. Afterwards he (witness) returned to the captain and
told him that he had asked 550/. for them, but the
gentleman would not give any such price for them. He was
then at the table with a lot more diamonds in parcels open
before him, and he said, " Take the whole of them, and go
and get me what you can for them." This happened on
Friday afternoon. Witness told him it was then too late,
hut that he would take them for him in the morning if he
thought proper. Prisoner then said, " There's • few fee
our landlord, and there's a few for your tailor, for you have
had a great deal of trouble about it ;" and he gave him
some of the diamonds. Next morning Hoare and he went
with all *the diamonds, except those which the captain gave
them, to Benjamin, and with Benjamin they went to Mr.
Martin's house. Mr. Martin examined and weighed them,
and ultimately agreed to give 1,7501. for them, and a=
to that amount on the Commercial Bank of
was given for them.—Mr. Clarkson Whit did yea ti
Mr. Martin ? Witness : I told him I was to eoll
the diamonds for Captain Kerr, my cousin. The
captain had told me to say so. I also told Mr. March I
that I should bring him some rubies which my cousin had
on board.—Here Mr. Martin, at the desire of Mr. Clarkson,
produced the memorandum of the sale, written by Hoare,
and signed by the witness.—The witness proceeded to say
that Mr. Martin had given no account of the vet ight of the
diamonds. He left them wholly and solely in Benjamin's
possession. Mr. Martin had given his checque for the sum,
and they then went to the Commercial Bank of London and
got the checque cashed.—The captain left witness' house on
the Saturday evening, and returned on the Sunday evening,
saying he had been out to see • friend, and that he was going
to the London Bridge
.station. Witness accompanied him
there, but when they arrived it was too late. Witness wanted
him to come back to his house, but he would not, and a cab-
man took him elsewhere. They then went to a house oppo-
site the Shoreditch Railway station. Witness returned to him
on Monday, and that evening accompanied him to the Dover
Railway station and saw him off. He said he would be away
but two or threedays, and wouldthen return.—Mr. Clarkson :
You kept your diamonds in your coat pocket all the time 1—
Witness : Yes. After I left the captain in the morning, I
gave my diamonds to Hoare, and desired him to get what he
could for them—Mr. Clarkson : And what did he bring to
you ?—Witness He brought me 501., and said there was
801. more coming. Hoare and I were to have in all 2801.
for our diamonds.—Mr. Clarkson: Which you received fur
the trouble you underwent ?—Witness : Yes.—Mr. Clark-
son: To whom were your diamonds sold ?—Witness : I be-
lieve they were sold to Benjamin.—Mr. Clarkson : It is fair
towards Mr. Benjamin to say that he gave up the diamonds
he purchased of Foreman and Hoare to the solicitors to the
prosecutors, when he learned that they had been stolen.—
Mr. Clarkson (to the witness: Do you know whether the
same number of diamonds is there which you have received ?
—Witness : I do not know.
Cornelius Hoare said all that the witness Foreman
stated was correct; he could add no more.—Mr. Clark-
son: We understand that Foremen put into your hands
the diamonds which the prisoner gave to him, and that you
disposed of all the prisoner gave to both of you as pre-
sents ?—Hoare : Yes; and I took them to Mr. Gideon, and
ultimately I sold them to Benjamin for 2801. I received
1401. of it, and I gave Foreman 501., and he gave me
credit for 901. 1 paid it into the Bank of England, and since
that I refunded all I received to Benjamin, and he restored
the diamonds to the soliciton for the prosecution. Benjamin
Benjamin said he resided in the ldinories, and was intro
dnced to Foreman and Home through the intermediation of
Mr. Gideon. He introduced them to Mr. Martin, who
bought the diamonds. I had previously offered them to a
gentleman on 'Change. I received nothing more than my
commission, 251., upon the sale for 1,7501. to Mr. Mattis.
I afterwards bought 399 cants and • quarter from Helm
sad Foreman for 2801., which was at the same ratio that Kr.
Martin purchased the lot for. He then went out to seek •
customer, and succeeded is effect* a contract for 5201., hat
the moment he heard how the diamonds had been gat, he suc-
ceeded in annulling the contract, and gave up the diamonds
in the presence of Mr. Peachey and Mr. bale. It was un-
derstood in the justice-room that Benjamin bad received the
money back which he had given for the diamonds. Mr.
Peachey here produced the diamonds which Benjamin had
purchased, and Mr. Clarkson applied to the Lord Mayor to
impound them at once. His lordship immediately complied.

robbery was found out, and the salest

GIIILDHALL.—Roninay.—G. Smith, otherwise Jar.
dine, was charged with having stolen a cash-box
601., from the bar of the Mona public-house, in Irore=
on the 2d of September, 1846. On the day in question bur
men drew up in • light cart, and called for some refresh-
ment at the bar. While two of them kept the landlord is
conversation, the other two walked up and down a =
leading to the kitchen, and one of them stepped in
the landlord and stole the cash-boa. He was seen to Lave
with something concealed under his coat, and the other
three left directly afterwards in the cart. One of the men
who was speak inF with the landlord was captured the not
day, but was discharged, no proof being given that he
either come or went away in the cart. The pri-
soner was looked after, bat he went to Scotland,
end was taken on his return recently. Mr. Middle-
ton, the landlord, who now keep a public-bows in
Soho, did not identify the prisoner, neither did the barmaid
recollect him with certainty.—On R. Coutts, the potman—
who deposed in September, 1816, that he knew the man who
left the house with something under his cost, but not his '
name—being called forward as a witness, Mr. Robinson, who
appeared for the prisoner, privately handed to Mr. Teague,
the chief clerk, a paper, purporting to be signed by Coatis,
by which he agreed he would not appear, or give evidence in
respect of the robbery. Mr. Teague showed it to the magis-
trate, sad returned it to Mr. Robinson.—Coutts then de-
posed that be was groom to a gentleman at Dalston. He
lived with Mr. Middleton, in September, 1846, but could
not tell the contents of the cash-box, or who stole it. He
certainly saw a man go out with something under his cost.
The witness, in answer to questions by the magistrate, de-
nied that he had seen anybodyZ, or signed anything, about
the robbery—Sir Chapman Mirsball thenalled for the pro-
duction of the paper, but Mr. Robinson declined to produce
it while his albeit was in jeopardy, as he was bound to keep
his secrets, and his position would not bealtared by bieshow-
ing it to the clerk inconlidence.—SirC. Mandril egresdthat

The sale operations yesterday, which commenced as ab-
ruptly as unexpectedly, breaking in or following so close
upon the advancing market of the morning, and so_=—.
yeringly continued to-day, have provoked =m = eth
inquiries into the causes, or the objects, in which thWirgr-
nated. Then were °tomes variousversions afloat ddifferences
with, and menacing attitudes assumed by foreign pawns.
In some quarters it was conceived from the outset, and the
impression still partially prevails, that the chief specu-
lators outaide, for whom the broken were acting in the
house, must be in possession of some extraordinary infor-
mation, still undivulged and secret, on which to base their
operations. It was scarcely necessary notwithstanding to
strain after causes so far-fetched when they would seem to
exist sufficiently tangible to sense at home. It appears to be
forgotten that the Premier had made the significant an-
nouncement in the House of Commons, that in the financial
statement to be made on Monday (this day), by himself or
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it would be proposed ro
take a vote for eight millions from the consolidated fund for
the public service, meaning, in the present cue mere espe-
cially, the appropriation of so much, or the greater part,
to the exigencies of Ireland. The vote paper for Saturday
records the fact which, however, was not unknown to nor
lost sight of by the keener capitalist speculators out
of the stock exchange. As in the earlier part of the
week the market had been in a weak and quiescent state,
es if waiting the event of Monday's exposition for an im-
pulse one way or the other, and the prices of Consols ruled
Plow, at one time as low as 901, there was no convenient op-
portunity for effecting sale operations of any magnitude,
that is, in common stack exchange parlance, there was "no
market to sell upon," and speculation was emulously inactive.
The more cheering &deices of Thursday and Friday morn-
ing from Paris, showing a rather important advance in the
French funds, with thypromise of more improvement still
from the sanguine disposition evinced by the leading opera-
tors on the Bourse, supplied the wanting material of action
here. An upward movement commenced in the funds.
Consols rose about 11 per cent. above the extreme
point of the week's depression, with an apparently strong
market, upon which the speculators for the fall went to
work, and yesterday and to-day have reduced the prices by
their operations, nearly one per cent., as measured between
the highest point of the advance, and the last quotations of
to-day.
The rumour gained ground, moreover, that government
had come to the determination of raising the means, to sep-
al:
.large breach which would be made in the Consoli-
Fund by the vote of eight millions, by a loan to that
or mom aapproximateamount. Such a recourse, it may be
ereard, is by no means popular in banking, moneyed, and
ammercial quarters. If contracted, as possibly intended,
w~cepstalias who are professionally loan contractors, and
rsytdally stock exchange speculators as well, an incon-
venient speculative agitation in stock values could ant fail, it
is inaseived, to be the rand; which would re-act in disturb-

_Eat quiet and equable tenor of other money values
whir aria at all times be so desirable. It is still believed
that a hiding of Exchequer Bilk, taking power to re-issue
to the extent funded, would be of the two operations the
more preferable, and the more economically, as well u easily
and quietly carried through. Being held in mamas by In-
surance Companies and other bodies, their conversion into
stock at a fair moderate rate of consideration could expe-
rience little difficulty, if the experience of former
operations of the same nature may be accepted in
evidence. But it is suggested that another and a more
unexosptionable means will is open to the govern-
amt. The sum wanted might be obtained readily,

sad ea easy teems, by the issue of debentures, the rate of
interest ea which should be guaranteed for a given term of
years, me lathe ease of the Canada loan. One advantage of
the Oen would be that, as in the case cited, it would be ne-
cessary to issue debentures only as, and to the amount for
which, the proceeds might be required for the public 'or-
rice. No loss of interest would therefore accrue, as the
issues would be spread over a surface of several months,
and put up to public tender in periodical amounts which
could cause the least possible prejudice, if any at all, to the
general operations of the money market, and the course of
money values. The guarantee of a fixed rate of interest for
so many years would make them a desirable investment,
always realisable when required, for public bodies
with accumulated and accumulating reserves. A few years'
more security of the tenure of the same interest would make
their value equal to per, although 34 per cents. now only
command 93 per cent., or something less, for the funds are
not destined to continue in their present date of depression
for yeas to come.
One cause of discomfort and disappointment in the money
market is the policy ofthe government in rupee of Exchequer
Bills. With consols returning 3 per cent. upon 911. and 3f. 6s.
upon 31 per cents. at 93, it mesa strange to twist upon
another government security at the rate of
