the complaint of James Cuthhert, of the Golden Last public-
suffered • Derby sweep to be drawn at by lot against the
tenor of the license grant d to him, and contrary to the
form of the statute in such case made and pruvideil.—A'der-
man Wilson, before proceeding w ith the case, asked M r. Childs,
who appeased for the &lesiva whether his client pro-
duced his license.—Mr. Chihli' said he declined tieing so.—
Aid. Wilson observed that at the sessions no publican or his
solicitor refused the production of it when requested.—Mr.
Childs replied that there was some difference in this cue.
At the sessions the publicans were summoned by the police ;
but here was a person coming in the character of a coalmen
informer, and therefore he should leave him to prove his
ease.—Sir Peter Laurie asked whether the defendant kept
the house in question on the particular day named ? —Mr.
Wontner replied that he should be able to peeve that feet.
Mr. Wontner then said that he appeereil to support
a complaiet against Mr. Willis, under a cheese in
the act for the regulation of alehouses. One of
the clauses imposed • fine if they committed any
offence against eie tenor of their licenses, and one of the
conditions of the license was that they should not" knowingly
suffer any unlawful gaming, or any gaming wr ate iever." In
eon aaaaa ntiou of this, it was charged against the defendant
:hat he suffered • sort of lottery to he drawn at his house.
It we. announced as a Monster Derby Sweepstakes, of 2,000
subscribers, at ss. each ; the first prize to be 3001.; the
second, 801.; and the third, 401. ; with 261. 10s. to be divided
amongst starters; the prize to be determined by the running
of the Derby race, but it was also to be determined by draw-
ing a lettery on a day anterior to the race. The complainant
subsi ribed for three tickets, and received thri e scrips,
numbered 157, 209, and 930. Oa the 22nd the
drawing took place, and ono of the horses given
to him in exchange for his numbers, was Spriest), Jack, a
favourite in the betting. This horse was drawn against the
ticket 930, as seppmered on the face of it e card. and ultimately
turned out to be a prize, it heing the second horse, which
entitled the holder to a sum of 801. When he d about
it he was told by Mrs. Willis that some mietake had occerred;
that she had given him the ticket 930, but he had never
given her the scrip belonging to it; and that the prize be-
longed to another party. lie went again, when lee was
informed that the money had been handed over to the
right person ; and that if he intended to get redress the land-
lord would bet him 101 ho would never recover one sixpence.
The complainant, conceiving the whole thing was
a swindle, theught it was but right to bring
the whole thing under the notice of the licensing magi.,
)rata. It might an well be mi thinned that the menu sub-
seribed would amount to 5001., and the prize, payable out of
• it would be 4461 We, leaving a be Baca to the landlord of
531. 10a. besides all the profits arising from the 2,000 cus-
tomers drinking at his house. Ile seed nothing of the per
tentage of o per cent. to be deducted when the winnings were
paid.
Mr. Thos. Wm. George, c!erk, residing at No. 79, Jubilee-
street, stated that lee purchased three numbers. Tee tickets
given to him were numbered la, 209, 930.—Mr. Wonteer
asked Mr. Childs if he intended to pr duce the scrip certifi
rate ra irked 03t, of a hich be hau received due melee ?—Mr
• Creilete here handed it to Mr. Wontner, whops's, it towhee's.
Mr. George, alter examinant it, said that he did not be ieve
it to be the one he gave in for his ticket, as the 9 on that
• produced was not so large, neither had it so long a tail sa
the one on the scrip he gave in. On the 23ed of May, the
day after the draw, ho went to ascertain if he had gut a
prize, but had not his scrip with him. lie found, on refer-
ence to his hook, that he had drawn one of the favourite
horses, called "Springy Jack," but he could not receive his
ticket, as he had not the scrip to give in exchange. In
three quarters of an hour after he returned with the scrip,
when Mrs. Willis congratulated him on his good
fortunes, and gave him the ticket which be now
produced, bearing the mime of "Springy Jack," with
the number 930. On the same evening he went to
the house with a friend, and, in consequence of hearing some
conversation in the parlour, be went to the bar when lel is.
Willis said that he had given her scrip for 910, and not for
930, and that she had ma es a mistake in giving ever the
ticket to him. lie asserted that he gave r the scrip
marked 930. On the settling day, Friday, May 26, he went,
accompanied by Mr. Cuthbert, who presented the ticket for
payment, when he was informed by tho secretary that Mr.
Willa paid all mom ye at the bar, in consequence of which
they went clown stairs and handed that person the ticket,
who referred them to Mrs. Willie who was in the ',allow..
He was then told that the ticket he produced war 130 in-
stead of 930, and payment was finally refused.
Other evidence in support el tne charge having been
given, !dr. Childs replied that he could show that there
lied been no fraud whatever in this transecion, but teat wan
• questien which should be more properly mooted on the
licensing day if soy imputation was thrown on Mr. Willis's
character.—Sir Peter Laurie said he had been twenty years
cheirmsnef the hlaryleboue Licensing Sessions, and there
we re nearly 300 public-houses in the division Tne bench
had notified that they were unanimously of oeinien that the
liceese of any home should be withheld where such
practices were permitted, and he believed there did not
exist • single home that bad infringed the rule.—
Mr. Childs said that Mr. George had boldly sworn that the
ticket produced was not the one he had purchased. Ile
could produce the counterpart ot the scrip 130 to show that
that was the number he had actually purchased.—Ald.
Wi;son asked if Mrs. Willis did not say that the mistake was
910, leaked of 930.—Mr. Childs said that Mrs. Willis denied
making such an assertion, and called the alderman's atten-
tion to the tact that the mistake was discovered, and the
matter disputed, not after "Springy Jack" had won the
prize, hut the day before the race came off.—
Ald. Wilson said that neither he nor Sir P. Laurie
would give any opinion on that subject. Mr.
Childs said that Mr. Willis had always conducted his
establishment on the most honeureLle principle, and his an-
swer to the charge was that the fact ails-Real was nut gaoling
within thetricaoing of the act. —Sir P. L eerie was very glad
Mr. Cuthbert had brought the matter before the malefic, as
he ha ( no doubt but an immense deal of go el would be 4 f-
fretted by its publicity.—Mr. Childs said that when the
proper time arrived he would be able to prove that his
conduct was honourable throughout the transaction.—
A:derman Wilson wished to know whether Mr. Childs
untended that the mode of c inducting those sweeps
was not gaming ?—MY. Child. declined arguing the point.—
Sir Peter Laurie observed that the mischief dune by these
Derby sweeps was incalculable.—Mr. Wonteer said that
about two years hack, on the occasion of • letter-carrier
beiug tried at thethel Bailey for robbing the post-office, Mrs.
Willis received a severe lecture fr an Baron Alderson, who
expressed it u his opinion that he had been completely
ruined by frequenting her home.—Sir Peter Laurie was very
glad Mr. Wontnerhad mentimed that fact —Alderman Wil-
son called Mr. Childs' attention to the preamble of 10 W. 1l I.
c. 17. as showing that ills gal lotteries were deemed gaming.—
Sir Peter Laurie said such lotteries are illegal.—Alderman
Wilson said it was time the mischief should be stopped, as if
mistakes should occur at such a house as Mr. Willis's. what
might be expected at the beer shops, to which these D r .y
sweeps had descended, and where the parties understood
nothing of writing or the keeping of accounts like Mr.
George?—The magistrates then retired, and, upon returning,
Mr. Alderman Wilma said that they were unanimously of
opinion that Derby sweeps were lotteries. Thet lotteries
were gaming, and that it was a breach of the license to allow
them to t• conducted at any lie ensed Louse. They there.
lore adjueged the defendant to pay a penalty of 51. and the
costa—Mr. Cuthbert gave hisenoiety of the fine to the poor
box.—Mr. Childs intimated that he should appeal.
WORSHIP-STREET. DItiOItACBIPUL 011111A0Pt.
Three " gentlemen," E. Ellen, Gresham-terrace. Melton, E.
nonaldson, Sutton-plaice, H ackney,and (1.8. Waugh, Dalston-
terrace, were charged wi h an outrageous attack upon •
married lacy, named Calvin, residing at Haulier, Cottage,
Dalston.—The complainant stated that she was posing
i through Dalaton-terrace, with her servant, on the night of
Friday last, when the defendants approached them arm-in-
. arm, and, stopping imm. diately in front of them, the two
outer ones ext. nded their arms and effectuaily barred their
progress. After an in, ffectual attempt to avoid them, the
defendant Waugh dropped the arm of his nearest companion
and stepped into the real, apparently to make way for hcr,
but she had only advanced a pew steps when Ellen turned au I-
denly upon her, and struck her • violent blow over the right
eye with the upper tied of his walking-stick, which felled her
tothe ground. She lay there senseless femme minutes, when
she was partially roused from her stupor by repeated heavy
kicks on the side and other parts of her person, but was in
such a state of suffering at the time that she was unable to
distinguish which of the defendants was the perpetrator of
the outrage. On recovering her feet, with the assistance of
her servant, she found that two of her assailants had disap-
peared, but hastened after the defendant Waugh, who was
walking rapidly away, and seizing him by the coat, de
mended the names of the persons w no had treated her with such
brutality, upon which the defendant raised his stick in a
menacing manner, and threatened, unless she relinquished he r
hold, that he would serve her The same as the others bad done.
Her husband, however, and two policemen, opportunely
came up at the moment, when the defendant handed her his
card, with the observation that it was certainly • brutal out-
rage, and he was anxious to afford her every facility in his
power to obtain redress. She was then supported to her
home in a state of extreme suffering and exhaustion, which
was succeeded by repeated tits of delirium during the two
following days, and she had ever since remained under the
care of • surgeon, who still attended her.—The evidence of
the complainant was confirmed in every particular by that of
her servant, Emma Jeffreys, and partially so by a young man
named Noah Lewin', who was standing a short distance off,
and w.tnessed the greater part of the occurrence.—Mr. Ray-
mond Haien, a surgeon at Holloway, proved that he was
called in to attend the complainant on the ne-ruing after the
assault, and found her ma& ring from • a were contusion over
the right eye, which was abraded to the extent of three
inches, and besides other bruises in the neck, breast and
arm, she complained of a similar injury is the left side,
which he himself confirmed by an external examination.
She also complained of severe pains in the head, which
she attributed to the force of the fall, and her entire
system was so greatly depressed and shaken, that
Ise found it necessary to administer frequent stimulants to
promote her recovery.—Mr. West, a solicitor, who appeared
on behalf of the defendants Waugh gad Ronaldsoo, sub-
mitted that there was no evidence whatever to implicate
either of his clients in the alleged attack • and trusted, there
fore, that the magistrate would order mar immediate Ws

charge —The other defendant offered no observations.— f
Mr. Hammitt s ant, that though there was c. rtaialy it broad
distinction apparent in toe conduct of the several defendants
on the occasion, ) et, as they were all together at the nom
furceement of the outrage, and countenanced it by their
presence throughout, they must be equally regarded as prin-
cipals in the misdemeanor, and, as his powers were entirely
inadequate to deal with such • cafe, he should send the
whole of them b fore a jury, and order them in the mean-
time to put in substantial hail for their appearance on Mon-
day next, when the depositions would be completed.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Cuttieree AND NOVEL
CARE or FOROERY.—George Spice, a cab.van, win charged
with having a forged hackney-carriage plate in hie pomeasion.
—John Creed, cab driver, said that on Wednesday evening
he saw a cab on the Davies-street nine, where hi, own cab
can also standing, with a plate on it bearing the number
1,150. This was also the number of the plate en hie cab. He
went up to the defendant, who war standing near the cab
swill the duplicate plate, and asked him whose cab it was ?
The defendant said it was his cab, and then witness gave him
into the charge of a police-winnable. The del- ndant drove
towards the -tation.bouse, and when he had got a short die-
twee be tried to drive away, but the constable overtook him,
and lodged him in the statiou-house. Witness, on being cross-
examined, said he would not swear that the plate on the pri-
soner's cab was not an old plate. It was the practice to renew
the plates every year, the old pates being left at the excise-
ffice.—W.Hill, of the hackney coach department, excises
office, Old Broad-street, said the number, 11.50, had been
issued to the witness's (Creed's) master. The prisoner had
never had au h • number issued to him. The plate now
pendia-ad was a forgery. The old plate, which weceichanged
in April last, was still at the excise-office. The prisoner
had formerly applied for and received plates, but that privi-
If go had been taken away from him, and he Sad now no
plate from the hackney-coach office.—The prisoner said he
picked the plate up in Portland-place .—He was committed
fur trial.
THAMES.—TiII" FENCE Moran ToLt."—This toll (at
Harlow bridge, Stratford, Essex), the collection of which on
Wednenday lant,gave rise to mach rioting,assaulie,and breaches
of the peace, has been abandoned, to the grc.t satisfaction of
the inhabitants of Stratford and Bow, and the large farmers
sad team-owners of Essex who have hitherto been subject. d
to this grievous impost for one month in tvery year. The
original brunt of this toll (by Charles 11., it is mid) to Sir
John Tilney, the former poem soar of NVansteed and adjecent
estates is silent as to the means of enforcing payment, and it
cannot he levied by distrem. It is to he hoped therefore
that no attempt will be made to revive the toll again, as the
purposes to which the money was formerly applied
ere no long.'. re quired. The only taw arising out
of the toll dispute yesterday was a charge per forced by
Joseph Holding, one of the toll cell cton, against James de
Cooney, of Well street, Stratford, Labourer. The com-
plainant was in the Harrow public-house, and the defendant
comm need abusing bim, and said he had caue d a corn
pardon of his, named Flinn, to be fined 20s. and sent to
prison far '2O days, and he would have revem-e. He there-
up n nfruck Ho.ding a viol, rat blow on the mouth with his
clenched fist, cut Ins lip, and caused his mouth to bleed pro-
fusely. The defendan', in joint ficatiun, said th at Hulling
first abused him, and said he would send him after his cons
passion.—Mr. Ballantine: I fined your companion 20', see
terfbiy, and I line you 10s., and in d, fault of payment you
will be committed to prison f r 20 days.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENINO.

The accounts from the Continent to-day rather dis-
turbed the stock market from its late accustomed
quietude. Speculators conceived the time to be ripe
fur commencing operations on a larger scale, on the
chance that prime must give way and( r an accu-
mulation of such discouraging intelligence from
abroad, and accordingly, alter some transactions of
minor importance, 50,000/. Consols were sold in one
bargain at 831 for the opening. No impression was,
however, made by this operation. Cinsols remained,
as before, 83; to 4 for the opening, and so left off.
The Bank broker was in the market as a purchaser of
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., and thus any un-
favoui able impression, that might have been pruduc.-d
by the sales of Consols referred to, wad mantel acted
by the greater weight attaching to action in a quarter
so influential. Reduced Threes were 831 to Z.
Three-and-a-Quarter per C:nta., 841 to 4. Long An-
nuities, fi 9-16 to ; 'Exciiequer Bills, 375. to 40s.
premium. India Bontis,l7s. to 21s. premium. Bank
Stock, 191 to 3,

A remarkable instance of the extent to which
foreign stocks are now neglected weurred to-dty, and
is nut undeserving of notice. Healicgs, and those of
little significance, wete officially recorded only in
three foreign stocks. viz„ those of Chili, New Granada,
and Mexico. In ChilianThrees, a bargain was done
at 40, the quevations being 40 to 3. New Granada,
done at 125, quoted 12 to 13 ; Mexican, 161 to 1;
Spanish Fives were called 114 to 12; the Threes
225 to 1, Passive 24 to 31 ; Portuguese, 16 to 17;
I)u'ch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 425 to 35, the Fours
635 to 41; Ituseian,BB to 91.
Money seeking employment begins to be incon-
veniently superfluous in the market. The discount
houses are full, and will take no more Olt call, or
for fore aid dates of a fixed longer period. Banks
willing to lend on public secaritica at 25 per cent.
can only find takers at 2 per cent. For some days
past Three-and-a-Quafter per Cent. Stock has br en
scarce and warted, probably owing to the recent pur-
chases of the Bank broker. To-day the market was
better supplied with the stock, about 100,00/. bay-
ing been borrowed for an agreed period, for which
the rate of 1 per cent. was allowed against money,
so that the lender has the use t.f the money besides
in the interim.

With the exception of some inquiry for bills on
Amsterdam, the dealings in foreign exchange pre-
sented no new feature to-day. The transactions were
comparatively few and unimportant, representing
therefore the dull state of general business and confi-
dence still wanting. On Amsterdam the negotiations
were 12 21 to 3 ; on Rotterdam, 19.3 to : on Ham-
burg, 13.121 to 13; on Frankfurt, 1911; on l'aris,
25.85 to 9 (at short, 25.15 to 30); on Leghorn, 31.40
to 50; on Naples, ;on Cadiz, 461 'o 47—a1l at
three months' date ; on Liebon, at 60 days, 511.
This was the first time for months of quotations being
made and business done in Paris at three months.

The Hamburg mail, with dates of the 20th inst.,
brings a confirmation of the before reported failure of
the respectable house of Arnemann and Son, of Al-
tone, for two millions of mares banco. They wire
largely connected with Denmark and Sweden. This
failure brought on that of NIX tbinow, Sons, of Ham-
burg, as the two houses are understood to have been
much connected together in money affairs. This firm
has branches iu Leith and Glasgow, and it is sup-
posed that some heavy losses by their drafts must
fall upon tl.e Scotch banks. The house of Frederick
Heeren of Ilamburg had also suspended, but, as it
had been considered weak for same time past, the
event was not to cause much damage. The
principal was himself in Spain. Money without em-
ployment was still abundant in hamburg at 2 per
cent. Bills on London, I to 11 better ; gold, la.
lower, offered at 4371.
From St. Petersburg, dates of the 14th instant,
have been received, replying to lette:s from hence to
the 6th. Exchange on England had improved to 36d.
It is stated in these letters positively that no alteration
would take place in the sugar duties.
Messrs. (lowers and Co., have notified to their
creditors by circular that, on the 28th instant, they
will be prepared to pay a dividend of one shilling and
sixpence In the pound upon their estate.
The Bank of England averages for the week end-
ing the lith instant give, as compared with those of
the week preceding, the following results:

returns are, the continued accumulations of coin and
bullion, still more or less incoming by almost every
arrival from the westward and northward, and ex-
pected from the eastward ; and the continued decline
in the discount bubineas of the Bank, as indicated by
the tallieg off in "other" or bill securities.
