hie supposed, father.—Jobs Challis Smith proved that he
knew the prieaser, and also knew his tether. The prisoner's
name was Thomas Harris, and his father's name was Robert
His father had been dead four or five years.—lnspector
Shackell deposed that he was engaged to investigate the
supposed conspiracy, and he accompanied the prisoner to
Marlborough-street police-Court, where the prisoner made a
deposition, and witness received a warrant on the llth of
January, and went with the prisoner to apprehend the
parties named. They went to numerous places, and were
occupied for twelve hours In the inquiry, and wit-
ness at length had some suspicion of the prisoner's
proceedings. -They parted at 12 o'clock at night, and he told
the prisoner to come to his house to breakfast at nine the
next morning, bat he did not come. He subsequently nada
inquiries,winch resulted in the apprehension of the prisoner.
On his being questioned with regard to his not keeping his
appointment, he said that he had met his father is the
Quadrant, and had aocompanied him to several plates be
look for the parties named in the warrant. After the pri-
soner was in custody he admitted that his name was Thomas
Harris, and that his father had bees dead four or five years;
and he begged for mercy of Mr. Lloyd. Shaeltell added
that from the opportunities he had had of seeing the psi-
sonar's writing, he was of opinion that the letters that had
been produced were written by him.
At the close of the case for the preeecution, Mr. Lloyd
was recalled, at the request of the jury, and, in answer to a
question put to him by one of them, he said he was not
aware that it was the practice of the turf to purchase
information of the character of that offered by the prisoner.
The prisoner called one witness to speak to his character,
but in answer to a question put by Mr. Clarkson, who ap-
peared for the prosecution, the witness admitted that he had
heard the prisoner was in Newgate upon a charge of felony
in October last —The prisoner said that before the case went
to the jury he should like to age Mr. Lloyd whether he had
not some reason to believe that his horses had been drugged
during the past year t—Mr. Lloyd said that he had.—The
jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Clarkson said there was another charge against the
prisoner, of having committed the offence of perjury in the
deposition he made at the police-court, and besides this he
was charged in October last with sending threatening letters,
and upon that occasion the principal witness was induced to
keep away by being paid the sum of 301. He also thought it
right to state that but for the discretion exercised by the
proeectitor, some noblemen and gentlemen would actually
have been apprehended upon the representations of the pri-
soner, and Mr. Lloyd might have been entirely ruined by
the consequences.—The prisoner was then sentenced to be
--..orted fur seven years.

it would tie more convenient tint to consider the merits of
the case.—Mr. Cole said the bankrupt had never attempted
to set slide the award, nor had he opposed the rule being
made absolute; consequently his assignees were now bound
by it, even if the submission were bid on the face of it. In
support of this, he cited Watson on Awards, Nichols e.
Row" (3 Milne and Kean. P. 431), s, Auriol e. Smith"
(I Turner and Russell, p. 121), and " Hall v. Hinds" (2
Manning and Granger, p. 247), in which last case, not-
withstanding a gross arithmetical blunder on the part of the
arbitrator, and the order being made on the wrong party,
the court was extremely tenacious about disturbing the
award. In " Phillips e. Evans " (12 Memon and
Webby), the court refused to interfere, although, by
the omission of an item of 1191. in striking the
balance, the award had been made on the wrong side.—Mr.
Commissioner Goulburn referred to Wateon's book, and said
that the cases were common of awards being set aside
because the submissions were bad on the face. He should
be glad to be referred to any ease where such an award had
been enforced against third parties, either by action, by at-
tachment, or, as in this case, by order.—Mr. Cole cited one
or two other cases, and contended that the bankrupt having
been guilty of lathes could not now impeach the award.
The case was one clearly within the act, by the terms of the
submission; and if not so, there was no precedent for dis-
turbing it. As to the merits of the case, if he was not ad-
mitted to prove on the order and award, he should prove, on
the part of the billholders' for money paid on account of
Samuel. This proof would be for 9s. ltd. in the pound,
dividends to the amount of 101. Id. having been paid out of
Emanuel's estate, by which amount Samuel's estate had
been relieved. There were, however, many other proofs,
probably to the amount of 100,0001., no that the dividend
would perhaps not be more than Is. in the pound.—Mr.
Webster, *elicitor to the assignees, declined to address the
court, observing that he merely attended to watch the
Clllo.—Mr. Sydney, for the petitioning creditor, argued that
the consideration for the award ought to be gone into, and
said that if this was done it was clearly one that could not be
made the subject of proof. Until the other creditors were
satisfied, the two estates could not make their mutual deal-
ings matter of proof against each other. The award was
clearly bad, from the arbitrator being an assignee and plain-
tiff in the action ; also, on the ground that it was not final,
but left some matters still open to litigation. The impro-
priety of a plaintiff acting as arbitrator or judge had been
uniformly recognised. Mr. Justice Best had refused to try
a case in which the Foundling Hospital was concerned, be-
calm he was a trustee of that institution. In this case also,
the law of surety applied, by which the acceptor of a bill
could not prove against the drawer till be had paid his
acceptance. This was clearly established by the cage ex parts
Rawson.—Mr. Cole replied. The question of suretyship
did not arise if the award was held good.—Mr. Commissioner
Fonblanque said be would leave the finality of the award to
the consideration of his colleagues; but where a party
sought to enforce such an instrument in this court
ho must first observe equity towards the other creditors,
and had the case been brought forward entirely
irrespective of the award, it would have come under the
clause relating to sureti.s. Besides, it was an established
principle, that a party could not prove in competition with
his own creditors ; a,a11.11 this ground he should he disposed
to reject the proot.—Mr. Commissioner Ilolroyd a'so thought
that Emanuel's assignees had no right of proof on the award.
Ile did not regard the award u conclusive ; first, because
the agreement of reference was not made in the mode pointed
out by the act ; and, secondly, because the equities of the
case were dealt with by the award—this court was .bound to
look into those considerations. Both houses having become
bankrupt, and there being creditors who had claims on both,
it WY clear they could not make proofs on each other till
the other creditors had been satisfied ; and this rule was not
varied by the fict of one of the Emanuel. having deceived
his brother. Ile thought the assignees of Emanuel had no
right of proof whatever.—Mr. Commissioner fl mlburn con-
curring, the proof wet reiected.—Mr. C•oninissioner Fon-
, lelanque added, that the appointment of any interested party
• as arbitrator was so contrary to the first principles of justice,
that no consent whatever could make it valid If it were
allowed in any cue, it might be in that of on respectable and
t upright a man as Mr. Quitter; but it would be extremely
as a precedent.

SURREY ADJOURNED QUARTER SESSIONS.
Wore T. Prickle, faq., and a Bench of Magistrate&
HIGHWAY ROBBERY. EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT.
C. Robinson, H. Burgess, and R. Cooper, were indicted for
stealing a silver watch, two keys, and a ring, from the per-
son of Henry Westerham. On the night of the 26th ult. the
prosecutor went into the Crawn tap, at Croydon, and partook
of some ale. When he left the house he was suddenly taken
ill, and fell down near the Mall, and was picked up by the
prisoners, who quitted the same public•house a little be-
fore 12 o'clock. A female, named Carr, saw them surround
the prosecutor, end perceived Burgess pull something from
, his waistcoat, which suddenly snapped, and the prosecutor
fell down. They then all ran away. Prosecutor then came
to his senses and gave information to the police, when they
went to Robinson's father's, on Croydon-common, and took
Robinson and Burgess out of bed. After they were secured
the room was searched, and a portion of the chain, seal, and
key were discovered in a hat-hos at the foot of the bed on
whieh Burgess had slept. Another portion of the chain was
in proccutor's possession, and corresponded with that found.
The watch and appendages were not found.—The Chairman
having summed up, much to the astonishment of the pri-
soners and every person in court, the jury returned &verdict
of Acquittal.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
Before Mr. Commissioner Phillip..
Ire is ADAM OXIMTOM.—Tke opposing creditor in this
ease was Philip Isaacs, a bill discounter. The insolvent
held a situation in the Woolwich dockyard, at a salary of
2501. a year. He had been mind up is accommodation bill
transactions to a great amount. He had accepted bills, for
his own accommodation, which were discounted by the op•
posing party at en interest of 40. 50, and sometimes 60 per
cent. The insolvent made an offer to set aside 501. a year
for the benefit of his creditors, whose debts amounted to a
large cum.—The Commissioner said he could never sympa-
thise with creditors who protected themselves by charging
such enormous interest as that of 40, 50, and 60 per cent.;
end where such things did occur, there must be a very dis-
tinct ease of fraud proved avainst aa insolvent before the
Commissioner would remand a man entirely at the suit of
such a creditor. As, it was, he (the Commissioner) should
order the insolvent to pay MI. a year to kis creditors.—A day
was named fur the final order.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

FALAI PRltYlttieSS. bI•K MCI Hostage " vit."
T. llama, alien A. Ilayord, was indicted for a mis-
demeanor in unlawfully obtaining 101. from Cultic Lloyd
by false pretenc.s.—Mr. C. Lloyd said that he kept
race-hones. On the 4th December last he received the letter
(produced), and which war put in and read. It was dated
the 4th December, 1847, and was sddressed from No. 3,
Peerless-place, City-road, and proceeded an follows :
sir,—Understanding that you are a confederate with Mr. Maityn In
the Rentinek stud, I take up my pen to disclose the whole affair rule-
tire to the horses **longing to the Goodwood stable being " got at,"
through the last racing mason, more particular In reference to Planet,
Red Hart, Glentilt, ifm., and if we can mane to terms, as 1 mu prove
the bets, that of Planet and the other bones was got at, and a certain
drug given them, so as to ensure their logos the rams they marts
for, and likewise Bekaa( the constitution of the horses. I hear
that It has been hinted In some paper this week that the trainer,
Kent, knows all about it, and the stable likewise; but this I tan
prove to be false, and likewise that therarne parties will again, if pas'l
sible, get at the Goodwood Derby horses neat year, as one of the
parties engaged in that affair te busily engaged In taring loos
odds against a horse ailed Surplice tilesthe stable, and if, air, lon
choose to come to my terms, the part all concerned in the ads
shall be given up to yen, and likewise some of the Muff that was aims
to the bonito, with every proof of the mine, and Do surmises, but ail
facts. My terms are as follows : —That you shall send me by retorts
of post, on the receipt of this letter, • 101. note. I will then east
you on Thursday (it cannot be before, as one of the witnesses will ha's
to oome from the country, and I most send him some money down to
pay his expenses up to l.00doet) at any place and time you choose to
appoint, and I will bring all the witnasesand proofs against I
toparties engaged In it ; and altar I have dose so, sad proved your
sated:action that what I state Is trite, and the parties are n your pos-
session, that you shall further remunerate me with a sum not less
than 201. If you will agree to this, I shall thank you to let me hare
the money by return of pat, so that there may be no delay in the
affair, and that the maim engaged In it may be thoroughly cz-
rwed.-;Awalting your answer, I remain your obedient servant, IL
The witnem proceeded—ln consequence of thiecommuni•
cation, he sent an answer, addressed to H. Milford, Peer-
lese-place, City-road, to the effect that he should be happy
to hear what he had to say,but dechoing to send the money.
' A few days afterwards the prisoner called upon him, and re-
presented that he had been sent by his father, who was un-
able to come himself, and he asked him if he had not
received a letter from his father, promising to give him some
information with reference to a conspiracy that bad existed,
and did exist, of parties drugging race hones; and he
wished to know if his father had not undertaken to produce
certain witnesses, if 101. were g:ven him to pay the necessary
expense of their journey to London. Witness told him he
had heard from his father to that effect ; and, on his further
statements, witness gave him 101. The prisoner maid on
this occasion that his name was Henry Raiford, and that
the letter of the 4th Dec. come from his lather, and that he
was to take the 101. to his father, and that he would imme-
diately go to Manchester and bring up three witnesses whose
names he gave. Toe prisoner, on this occasion, produced a
letter, arid said that his lather had been implicated in such
transactions for row years, and had received large sums of
money. The letter purported to be written by a person
named Williams, whom he described as the head of the
gang. The following letter was then put in and read :
Prince of Wales, Clarence-street, Brighton, 13th Dec., MG.—
' Dear Harry,—l have been busy arranging with -- to make safe
Kent's homes, Surplice and Leathern*, for thc 2,000 guineas. I rem
to receive 2001. for doing it, and if we can manage to get at —, he
will stand • monkey and a good ilare.np. Just to
what you can do
in the latter ease, as I am unacquainted with the stable. It would be
as well if we could " ruse" the latter horse. -- wrote to me
yesterday, and my' he can etand something handsome if we eon
make Kent's homes safe. I wrote and told him we ahmild have them
all eight before the day. You had better sec
about laying against Kent's horses. Don't mention the affair,
because of I shall go and see of Chichester, and yon
had better write to Manchester, and get them to begin to lay
them. We ought to make a couple of thousands out of this affair, be-
ginning so early. Keep your weather eye up. You can write to me
here. tat me know whether you want to see either - or —'s
letters. If nut,' will destroy thou.—Tows sincerely, J.P.Wituaus.
The prisoner also said that his father would not expose all
the parties concerned, but merely those who had act.el I
shabbily to him; and that he himself had not as yet taken
anytrut in that conspiracy, but, as his father and brother
had behaved ill to him, he intended to set to work on his
own account, and wnuid get him information which they
plaid not. On the faith of these representations witness
Rave him the money, and the prisoner wrote a receipt. He
Sid several cunmunications with the prisoner after this, and
be produced a number of letters of a similar character to
the one from Williams.—Crossexamined by the prisoner :
I did:not offer you money to " work " for me in getting
Information. I don't know that I offered you a thousand
guineas reward, but I did my that if you could prove the
suistence of such a conspiracy, and assisted in the conviction
1 Mks guilty parties, you would very probably have a very
hip reward, and I might have mentioned the sum
of a thousand guineas. I said I would protect you
"gainst the parties if they endeavoured to do you
any injury. I may have said that I thought I knew
the handwriting of the lettei marked with an S
and four crores.—Re-examined : At the time in question
witness was joined with Mr. Mostyn in keeping race horses.
He had no knowledge of any conspiracy, except from the
letter produced by the prisoner, and his statements respect.
ins them. lie should not have parted with his money but
foe these representations, Milk hisbellef, founded upon thins,
that there really was a conspiracy to drag his racehorses.
Lord Henry Lennox deposed that he was acquainted with
Mr. Lloyd, and he remembered his handing to him the
letter dated the 4th December. The prisoner sub,. quently
told him that his father, his brother, and the man Ye illis=
were well known at Hirton's coffershcp, in reartearplace,
and that Williams came *enemy day.
gragT Baker, waitress at the eoffee.shop refer to, de
diat, the prisoner was in the babit of frequiniting
at she knew nothing about his lather or Williams. The
primmer was generally orampled in writing, and she observed
him writing • gnat many letter.—Mr. Kirtou, the pro-
prietor of the coffee-bonne, proved that theyrisoner was in
the habit of writing letters, in the name of Henry Raiford,

solemn protestations of his intentions t» make her his wife
she lived with him for three months, when she importuned
him to fulfil his promise, and he again published the banns; ,
the ring was purchased, and a day appointed for the mar-
riage ceremony to take place, but on arriving at the church
the heartless fellow gave hLs bride the slip, and was not
heard of for several weeks afterwards. The young woman
imbsequently gave birth to • child, and has ever sines
continued to support herself and her offspring by
her own industry. The prisoner, ant content with the
anguish and misery he had brought upon her, has since fre-
quently annoyed her, and because she has refused to renew
the intimacy, he has more than once threatened her. He
came to her mother's house on Saturday night, while he
was in a state of intoxication, and on her refusal to walk
out with hies, he struck her several blows on the head and
race, and knocked her down. She was carried to the hoe-
pital.—The prisoner, in defence, pleaded inunication.—Mr.
Yardley fined the prisoner 51., and in default of payment
committed him to the House of Correction for two months.
A communication would be made to the governor of the
gaol respecting the prisoner, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether he was really in a sound state of mind or not.
CHAntxv,—Mr. Ballantine has received 51. from R.R.R.,
with • request from the donor that 3L of the amount should
be devoted to the poor-box, and 21. be given to Louisa Roswell,
who committed a trifling felony to provide food for another
under the pressure of severe distrees, and whose cue was
, published is the Daily News of Thursday.

RAILWAY NEWS.
The daily continued fall, for some days past, in
Brighton shares, comes explained at last, in a report
which is understood to have made its appearance yes-
terday, in which the directors, from the state of affair!,
and for reasons therein disclosed, are said to declare
their intention of recommending a dividend of 11. per
share only for the haltyear, which would be at the
rate of 4 per cent. per annum only. The shares were
sold yesterday as low as 37 in consequence, but at
the close of business recovered, but so far only as to
37i. North Stafford. were quoted i to k pm.;
Eastern Counties, 15; ; and generally these with other

and the outrages described as having occurred would no
longer be perpetrated. The real cause of the evil
I must say I can trace to nothing but the conduct of the offi-
cers of the unions, particularly of the City of London Union,
for when the unfortunate creatures go to the relieving officers
for relief they do not receive the order of admission till an
!advanced hour of the day, and then they are obliged, ex-
,. blunted and worn out, to walk a distance of four miles to
Peckham before they get a morsel of bread. In fact, the
officers of the City of London Union do all they can to abate
the number of applications by rendering them as disagree-
, able as possible to the persons making them, and throw all
' the onus and trouble on the police.-Mr. Lloyd remarked
that he was under distinct orders which those who employed
him would not permit him to deviate from. He uniformly
granted orders to the female applicants with-
out delay.-The defeadants said the relieving nffi-
CM had refused them repeatedly and most offen-
sively.-One of the police stated that he had frequently
been present when Mr. Lloyd refused to give orders.-
One of the women accused was then charged with having
kicked one of the police in a most dangerous manner while
he was conveying her to the station.-The Lord Mayor re •
quired that emits of the defendants should find bail to the
amount of 51., the relieving officer having sworn that he ap-
prehended danger to his life from their violence; and
directed that the City Solicitor should prosecute Mary
Phillip, the woman who kicked the policeman. His lord-
ship concluded by emphatically calling upon the authorities
of the City of London Union to remedy, without further
delay, as evil which they had allowed to reach a fearful
maguitnde.-When the six females were ordered to be taken
malt to prison, they turned upon the police, and • v.olent
sauffie took place in the narrow bar of the justice-room be-
tween the constables and their prisoners; and long after the
latter were locked up in the cage, they continued to scream
and bellow through the building, and to curse the magis-
trates, and the police, and the poor-laws, in language the
most revolting.

bone was charged with attempting to evade payment of toll.
-blink Webster, toll-collector at Vauxhall-bridge, whose
race was dreadfully lacerated, stated that he was on duty at
the Middlesex gate at a little before 8 on Sunday everikig,
when defendant, who was driving a chaise cart, paned
through the gate without paying the toll. Witness called
out to him to stop, but instead of doing so the defendant
immediately Bogged the horse. Witness ran behind the
cart and caught hold of it, when a man who was in the
cart with defendant said, " Give it to him," meaning that
he was to flog the horse again. Witness continued his hold
of the tail of the cart, and was dragged about
two hundred yards, when be put his foot on
the top of the spring, and leaning over the tail-
board, took defendant's friend's hat off. In getting
down witness's foot got between the cart and the
spring, and he was dragged a great distance, first with his
head on the ground, and then 10 ith his arms. He contrived
to clear himself from the cart, but after doing so was almost
insensible. The horse was stopped by defendant within 20
yards of witness, and driven b ick to him, when defendant's
companion said, "My man, you've got my hat." Witness
replied that he had,. when defendant's compaeion offered
to nay the toll, adding, .. Never mind • my friend is
drunk." Witness called " Police," when delenerant's friend
offered to pay any sum if he abstained from doing so.
In concluding his statement complainant declared that he
was very sore all over, and that the medical gentleman who
had attended him said he ought not to leave his house for
a week or more.-J. Banks, another toll collector at the
bridge, proved that complainant called upon defendant and
his friend to pay, at the time they passed through the gate,
and that the afterwards whipped the horse repeatedly. He
could not tell which used the whip.-Mr. Broderip observed
that this case was of by far too serious a nature for him to
deal with summarily, and he should therefore send it for
trial at the sessions.-Defendant expressed his deep regret
at what had oceurred.-He was ordered to find ban,
himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each, to answer the
at the sessions.-Bail was immediately put in.

Complaints are made that with all the ease and
abundance of money, as shown by low and still falling
rates of interest, by Bank of England returns of coin
land bullion running info excess, with banking re-
serves still on the increase and unproductive, and all
other banks and discount houses refusing to receive
money on call at 2 per cent., so distressed are they
already with over supplies which cannot be laid out
to advantage, that ni vertbeless none of this plethora
of wealth can or will be spared for the accommoda-
tion of any portion of the commercial and trading
community not ranking in the exact category of
what are known as first-class houses. Money in
the Stock Exchange on accredited stocks and
from accredited parties can obtain only from
1* to 2 per cent. First-class bills are competed
for by banks and discount brokers at from 31 to 31
' per cent., whilst fair second class commercial and
trading paper is either tabooed entirely, or will be
treated only upon mu ions consideration. Deck
warrants which, in ordinary times, are usually ac-
counted a desirable security, can only in few instances,
and then as a matter of favour to the individual
holder as an old connexion, be admitted to loan at
all, for which a rate of 6, more generally 7, per cent.
must be submitted to. It may be, and is doubtless,
proper that some extra consideration should be
paid for loan accommodation on this species of
security, which requires that, in default of repay-
ment at the time specified, the produce represented by
the warrant thould be summarily sold on the best.
terms of the day which could be realised, and there-
fore too often in dull and falling markets would be
sacrificed. On such occasions the banker or lender
also is subject to the earnest solicitations of the owner
for an extension of the time for repayment, with re-
presentations of the grievous loos to which he would
be exposed by forcing his upon an adverse
market, which cannot but be disagreeable as appeals
to feeling, and in contradiction, if yielded to, with the
correct course of banking trade, unless a renewal of
the transaction were mutually agreed to upon the basis
of a reinforcement to the security before in hand.
Still, after all, the exaction of 7 ,per cent for loan on
a solid security, or doable the rate charged upon a
first dam bill of exchange well endorsed as it may
be, does seem an exorbitant charge, and, in the actual
circumstances of the money mat let, beyond the fair
measure which should be meted out to the commercial
ani trading interests.
