defendant, was in fact accepted by his wife In her own name.
A rule nisi wan accordingly moved for and gr►ntcd.—Mr.
Marsh now showed cause, and contended that the evidence
at the trial went to show that the wife had accepted the bill
by the authority of her husband ; that he had acknowledged
his liability, and promised to pav the bill. She was, there-
fore, clearly his agent. and her having accepted in her own
name did not change her character of his representative.—
Mr. Serjeant eyles, in support of the rule, contended that
as the soceptanoe eras in her own name, the husband could
not be bound by this act of his wife.—The court, however,
were of opinion that she had acted as his authorised agent
and representative, and that he was bound by her act, and
the rule wu discharged.

COURTOFF
EXCHEQUER.
ORIMBLY v. ACIttOYD.—Tna NOW COUNTY CoVale.—
On the 13th of November last a rule was obtained in this
case for a writ of prohibition, directed to the Judge of the
County Court for Worcestershire, to stoy the proceedings
upon 228 plaints levied by the plaintiff against the defen-
dant, a railway contractor. The rule was obtained upon the
ground that the whole number of plaints were levied in re- I
'pea of one debt, which amounted to 3031.; and that the
plaintiff had split his demand so as to bring each plaint
within the jurisdiction of the county courts. It appeared
that goods had bees supplied to various workmen employed
by the plaintiff upon a railway, of which he was thu con-
tractor. The goods were supplied upon the written orders
of subcontractors on the defendant'a account, and the de-
fendant deducted the amount of the goods so furnished
from the weekly wages of the workmen.—Mr. Whitehurst,
Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Pigott), showed cause on Satur-
day against that rule, and contended that separate written
orders for different parcels of goods, which were supplied at
distinct periods to different families, formed separate con-
tracts, upon which the plaintiff was entitled to sue separately. I
—The Lord Chief Baron condemned the act of entering 228
plaint. for the recovery of 3001. It waa a grow abuse of the act
—Mr. Baron AM, rson : If actions were to be split up in this
way the plaintiff might, upon his own oath, unsupported by
any other evidence, recover the whole sum demanded.—Mr.
Martin, Q C., and Mr. 1101 supported the rule. Separate
actions could not be brought for each item of a tradesman's
account. When goods were supplied day after day be a
shopkeeper to his customer, the aggregate amount, when the
account was finished, made but one debt. In the case under
consideration the transaction was a continuous one. But
if 228 actions were entertained by the count court, the
is-.costs
for the recovery of 3001. would very much lexceed th tr
.'
auv of the superior courts, where the whole demand could
be investigated. If that system were p repined. the county
courts, instead of being a benefit to the public, would become
public nuisances.—The court took time to consider.
Joey' v. AIeSTRUTIIIit, BART.—Tae SCOTCH 88417 E-
S Acr.—ln this case a rule was obtained on Friday
last, returnable next day, for the discharge of the defendant
out of custody, upon the ground that he had obtained a war-
I rant i f protection under tee Scotch Sequestration Act—Mr.
Temple s• owed cause against the rule on Saturday, and
contended that the warrant was invalid on the ground
that it purported to have been signed by the sheriff 's
substitute and not by the sheriff himself, or his deputy.
Another ground of objection was that the 2 & 3 Viet., c. 41,
required that the warrant should be granted at a meeting
at which an offer of compensation had been made by the
defendant, and no such allegation appeared upon the face
of the document. —Mr. M. Smith supported the rule, and
stated that the warrant was framed according to the Scotch
, law.—Tho court were of opinion that the terms " Sheriff,"
and " Sheriff's-substitute," were used indifferently in the
statute, and so to the offer of compensation that was not a
coudition evalnt to obtaining a warrant of protection.
The defendprant was therefore entitled to he discharged, and
the rule should he made absolute.—Mr. Temple : I hope it
nosy he understood the defendant cannot bring on action.—
The Lord Chief Baron : It is quite c!ear that no action would
lie under the circumstances, but we annex no condition
whatever. All wo say is the dr readout is entitled to be dia.
' —.el.—Rule absolute without costs.

ARCHES COURT.
At the sitting of the court there wa
s a Peronueus
attendance of the civilian', the proctors, and of the blic.
This arose in consequence of the scene which took place at
the close of the last session, in which the learned Judge and
Dr. Addams were concerned. Before proceeding to our report,
it may as well be mentioned, that in consequence of that
scene a meeting of the profession was held In the College
dining-room on Thursday last. The object of the meeting,
as stated, had reference to some expression of sympathy with
Sir Herbert Jenner Foot, at the attacks made upon him
with regard to alleged partiality and distribution of patron-
age. 'the meeting was a long one, but strictly private. If
informed correctly, every gentlesnan of the bar attended,
excepting Dr. Addams. The result of this meeting has not
as yet transpired.
O ems v. GEII.S.—CONCLUSION OP TIIE ARGUMENTS.—
DUCLARATION UP THE JUDGE, DENYING DISTRIBUTING
PATIIONAGE AMONG MS FAMILT,-00 calling OD this Case
Dr. Clinch was beard in reply very shortly. The
learned Judge said he could not give judgment in
this case that day. Considering the length of the arguments,
the nature of the case, and the way in which it bad been
argued, the court felt great anxiety that it should reserve its
judgment. There were, however, circumstances which
rendered it necessary for the court to make some observa-
tions upon points eased during the argument'. The court
alluded t e charges brought against it of corruption and undue
partiality, and that in its decision it would suffer itself to be
guided by such prejudices and partiality. The court thought
that it might do well not to give any answer to such charges,
but under the circumstances of this ease, it must say that it
repelled with indignation any such imputatione. The conduct
of thhe court was beeire the public, and that public must be
the lust judge; but when one counsel takes coats with which
of
he is intrusted, and makes them his owe, an allegation
endue influence of the kind represented could not be taken as
proof of charges against the court. The only test by which the
public could decide of impartiality was how many sentences
of the court had been affirmed or reversed. By this teat be
(Sir H.. 1. Feat) bad no objection to be tried, and the public
must be left to judge for themselves. But it seemed that
the court was called upon to express en opinion by hearing
only one Side. This was not the way in which the decisions
of the court were to be judged or tried. Both sides of course
had a right to be heard ; and after 36 hours of argument by
one counsel (Dr. Addams), the court was called partial in
giving full latitude to other?, as it was bound to do. So
much, then, for the charges against the judge. But as yet
the whole circumstances of this case had to be taken into
full consideration. The court must, however, make some
observations as to the way in which the case had been
argued on one side. When the court heard such epithets
made use of as slanderers, liars, blackguards, thieves,
, envenomed fiends, &c., it was time that at. ention should
be directed to them. The court did not hold such terms as
these should be applied to parties before the court. Indeed'
the learned counsel (Dr. Addams) hied expressed his regret
that the English language had nut provided him with more
strong terms to mark his opinion of certain individuals cm
the other side. The court was firmly of opinion that the IMO
of such terms could not raise the character of the bar, its ho-
nour, or reputation. if such terms and epithets were used,
and information of which must go out to the world, the
court held that a contrary iffect would be produced and the
bar injured by such a course of proceeding. The learned
counsel had a right to read all the evidence. The decision
of the judicial committee of the privy council had confirmed
the court's opinion in tho early part of the case,
and had remitted the cause. But the bar of public opinion '
was to be appealed to if the decision of the court in this case
was adverse to the learned counsel's client. The court con-
sidered this nothing more than an attempt to deter it in the
free exercise of its own judgment, the case, as before stated,
being still under the consideration of the court. The court
was perfectly justified in the conclusion come to RS to the
preliminary proceedings. That opinion had been affirmed,'
and the court was unjustly accused. The court would net
refer more at length to this subject. It was the court's
intention to do what every judge should do, to hearr all par-
ties, and to reserve, if necessary, its decision. ee
should reserve itself on the present occasion. The court
would discharge its mind of all that had passed respecting
the mode in which the cue had been conducted, and calmly
apply its mind to the evidence and the arguments by
which that evidence had been supported. The court must
refer to the mode in which two of the witnesses
had been treated, and to the drawing of the interrogatories
entirely by the learned civilian. This conduct the court had
no hesitation in eying was most unprofessional. The proc-
tor was the dominos liti4 in each case. He was responsible
to the court for the conduct of the case, and was to offer an
opinion if differences existed as to the mode in which pleas
ought to he driven. He was not to be made amore puppet,
or a mere machine. If the proctor cos' to be left out of con-
sideration under those circumstances, he would he held out
as being unable or unworthy of the conduct of the use, or
of the confidence of his client. The question remained
to the proctor himself, and if be sane:toned being
made a n.tre puppet or machine of, he must submit
to the consequences. The court could not lay
down any rule upon the subject. The court con•
sidered such conduct, however, an obstru-lion to
justice, and injurious to suitors. For counsel to see
witnesses was entirely 'irregular, and the proceedings
which had taken place in this case of which the court had to
complain would not be allowed in the courts of common law
or of equity. The court must now say a word or two with
respect to the patronage it had, and the manner in which it
had been distributed. It had been used as a reason for
the reformation of those courts, if not their entire abo-
lition, that the patronage was misapplied ; that it had
been bestowed upon his (Sir H. J. Puet's) relations, or
on parties intimately connected with him. The learned
judge said that it would be 4,5 years on the 3rd of July since
he was admitted to the bar. He had held many offices, and
had been 13 years judge of the court. The only ph ce of patron-
age which had fallen to his gift was the appointment to the
apparatorship of the Court of Peculiars, and he had given
this to his clerk for the attention and ability with
which the affairs of his office had been conducted.
The emoluments of the office given were about
50/ a year. The emoluments of the seal-keeper of t'ee
Prerogative Court, of which the court bad the patron-
age. were considerable ; but that was held by the same per-
son when he (Sir IL J. Fust), took his seat as judge as held
it at present. The coat had never interfered either
directly or indirectly with other appointments in the Prero-
gative Court. As to the appointment of the Queen's Proctor
upon the decease of the gentleman who lately held it, his
(Sir H. J. Fwd.'s) opinion was asked by the late government
as to which of the five gentlemen who were candidates to fill
the abet was the most eligible. He gave no opinion at all,
considering that all were able to perform the duties
to state
of the
office properly. The court had thought it right
these circumstances in order that the public should be made
aware that it had not distributed its patronage among i
own relations. The court hail no patronage excepting what
it had stated. With respect to the case itself, he (Sr H. J.
Feet) must take time to consider his judgment.
Assignations were subsequently disposed of.

POLICE.—SATURDAT.
OUILDHALL.—A GAMELINOTRANSACTION.—J.Strong
an/ W. Anderson were charged by J. Jordan with basing,
by a fraudulent device in gaining, won of him 61.—Jordau
stated that be went into a publiehouse kept by • Mr.
M'Doneld in Farringdon-street, and tossed' with a stranger
as to who should pay for some liquor. The other man won
several throws of the penny, when they left off, and
Strong challenged RHEUM. who accepted the chat
Menge. He cbserved Strong throw with a particular
1 penny, and he wanted to look at it, but he was re-
fused. Witness went en playing till he had lost
all his money, about 61. 10s., and, believing he had bean
cheated by means of • false coin, he gave the prisoners into
custody. The penny was found on Strong, and there was ••
mark round the ran where a cap bearing the head o Georg. ~
111, fitted on the aide exhibiting Britannia, When the cap
was on, the penny had two heads, and when it was plawd
Sider the hand on the table, with the cap uppermost, and
fax opponent called out " head," the cap was raised in the
palm of the hand by some adhesive substance, and Britannia i
appeared uppermost. If an opponent called " tail," the ear \
was allowed to remain on, and exhibited a head, so that tee
r of the fortunate penny was sure to win whenever
=Led. The cap 'was not found. Th re was a third
man in company, who, it was au •posed, carried off the cap

He bad not seen any cap.—Sir W. Magnay said the evidence
would not satisfy a Jury, and he should therefore dismiss the'
cue ; but the house in which this affair took place should be
reported to the voice commissioner and the alderman of the
ward.
BOW-STREET.—Ronnene. —J. Toonorini, errand-vent-
boy
in the house of Mrs. Underwood, 8. New-street, Co
garden, grocer, was charged with stealing 110/. belonging to
his employer.—J. Andom, foreman in the employ of the
prosecutrix, stated that the pri-nner was in the service of his
mistress for five mouths. On Monday last witness gave d
him
the ,
amount in uestion which consism of a 101. not, • ffi- I

to Mr. Rose, a grocer, at Shoreditch, together with a (pan- '
tiny of goods, to be pelt at Restenusquare, and in conec-
qnencc of his not returning, a message was sent to Shore-
ditch, when it was ascertained that he hal not made his ap-
pearance there, information of which wee given to the police.
—Sergeant Thompson, F, apprehended the prisoner at Bris-
tol, and on telling him the nature of the charge, he said
there were three others in it, one of whom got the 101. note,
another the cheque, and the third 601.; and that, after giv-
ing him 61., they told him, as it would not be safe for him to
keep any money about him, he could base what he required
at any time he should call for it. The money was shared at
the beck of tiray's-inn-lane.—ln answer to the chugs the
prisoner :said he was induced to commit the robbery by
three others, with whom he became acquainted shortly after
he came to London. Ile received 3s. per week wages, with
board and lodging.—Mr. Henry, after observing that it was
very imprudent to entrust such huge sums of money to a lad
so inditlerently psid, remanded the prisoner for a week.
THE STORER Or THE CRICKaT.—J. Edwards, who was a
stoker on board the Cricket steamer, applied to Mr. Henry
for some relief out of the poor-box. He stated that since
he gave the information respecting the tying down of the
valves on that vessel he had nut been able to obtain any em-
ployment; he was in a state of the most abject poverty,
and he hoped the magistrate, iu comprksion fur his circum-
stances, and in consideration of the service he had rendered
to the public in disclosing what he knew of the practices on
' board the Cricket, would grant him some relief.—Mhe
r.
' Henry observed, that if it was otherwise in his power
could not relieve him while there were actions pending rela-
tive to the explosion of the Cricket, and that he should apply
' to the partite who were prosecuting those actions, and who
had no doubt summoned him es a Wililta4,—Edwards said
• they would give him nothing, as his evidence might not be
wanted.—Mr. Henry : One great difficulty in the way of
my granting relief while these actions are pending is, that
my doing so might be referred to in the courts afterwards as
an evidence of my opinion of your conduct. lam sorry for
your distreu, but I cannot interfere.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Winnow BREAKING.-0. Hart
was charged with having broken the windo of a tradesmant
,
who would not appear against him.—
Mr. w Arnold said tha
there being no complaint, there was, of course, an end of the
cam, and he discharged the prisoner. The prisoner, on leav-
ing the har, said he must go and do something more, for he
had nowhere to go to, had been refused relief by the parish,
and should starve if not sent to prison.—ln a few minutes he
was again placed at the bsr.—lnspector Ellis said that
directly after the prisoner was discharged he took his
woollen cap from his head, and putting his fist in it dashed
bis hand through the window of the Brown Bear public- i,
house, immediately opposite the office door, breaking too 6
squares of glass.—Mr. Arnold, after mine further inquiry, 1
• sentenced the prisoner to pay 3s. Od., the value of the glum, 2,
or be imprisoned seven days. Being unable to pay he was f.l
conveyed to prison. i
co
' CLERKENWELL.—A TALE OP MISERY.—A poor I'(f
woman, named M.Donold, was charged by a Mr. Fletcher I*.
with wilfully breaking six squares of glass.—The defendant
1;
did not deny the charge, but endeavoured to justify herself, 1
' saying that the complainant had recently, by inhumanity, 5(
occasioned, or, at least, accelerated, the death of her son, t'
aged 17, who had been apprenticed to him by the parish of st
Tooting; sad that, at the c ironer's inquest, the verdict ot the 34
j or/ wee., that Ims died of consumption, and that his master II
was reprehensible for having kept him on short diet. (She
' here handed morning papers of the 19th and 20th inst. to the 1
magistrate, the former containing the report of the inquiry, ,„,.
and the latter a leading car isle, animadverting on the con- ji
' duct of the master and mistress of the deceased.) She called ra
on the complaimant to demand the clothes of her child, and 1
, on their being withheld she committed the offence laid to 1
' her charge.—Mr. Tyrrwhitt, having read the report, said •
that it was evident the boy suffered severely, but t
who the party or parties were who were to blame was
not for hint to inquire. He asked her how she could pay al
for the damage ? She replied that she had not the means ;
of doing so, adding, her children were then at home without it
food or fire, and they had not tasted anything during that 4
day. She took her dying child home, and woe obliged to 1,1
take off his shoes and sell them to sustain his life, until she ;
was able to procure him admission into St Bartholomew's I
Hospital, where he died. During his apprenticeship he had f
frequently complained of an insufficiency of food, and when ;
defendant remonstrated with his mistress, she answered that ii
he should have less, and his master said that his treatment
her .
if
was too good for a parish apprentice. Wben she visited
son prior to removing him home she found him lying in •
cold shop, with scarcely any covering; and whesh
in a
re-
quested that he should be removed to bed, as henna
most deplorable condition, with a swollen head and face,
Mrs. Fletcher said that if he was he should have hospital
allowance, namely, three basins of water gruel a day —Mr.
Tyrrwhitt said it was a most shocking affair, and having oh
tamed the defendant's promise that she would not repe.m the
annoyance he discharged her, and ordered that her son's
clothes should be given up to her.
MARYLEBONE. ATTEMPT TO STEAL BREAD
TICKETS.—A. Green, aged 1.4, son of an omnibus driver,
was charged with having stolen a file, on which were 235
bread tickets (value 31. Sr. 64.), from thee shop of Mr. Per-
kins, baker, of No. 3, Upper Lisson-stret, Limon-grove.
The tickets were orders signed by the secretary of the " St.
Marylcbone Association, for supplying bread gratuitously to
the poor."—Sophia Perkins stated she was in her lather's
shop on the previous evening, and saw the prisoner inside
the counter on his hands and knees ; he took the file off the
hook where it was hanging. She sent her brother
con-
for a
policeman, to whotn she gave Green in charge.—Police-
stable 95 D, who took the prisoner into custody, stated tMr.
hat
he knew him to have been often in custody for felony.—
l'erkins mid the loss of the tickets would have been a serious
one to him, as they were the only voucher; he hod to
prove his claim for payment.—Committed to the House of
Correction for two months. with hard labour.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Tue ITALIAN BEGGAR
NPIeANCIL—Two Italian beggar boys Here charged with
being found begging about the streets at the West-end. Mr.
Hardwick directed that the *Tones should be summoned
before him. Only one of the padrones could be found ; his
name was Pietro Majocehi, and the little boy who gave evi-
dence against him was Luigi Mejocchi, his brother, who said
that he had been brought to this country by his brother,
who in like manner had been previously brought over by his
father, now in P alp. His business was to go about begging,
and to give what money he got to his brother. He had got
as much as halt a-crown one day ; but the average was ten-
pence or a shilling.—Mr. Hardwick said it was evident that
the defendant had commitied an infraction of the law ; that
he was au incorrigible offender—and that it was necessary to
inflict a severe punishment. There was, however, onedrones diffi-
culty about teem cases, and that was, when the pa
ware sent to prison, what was to become of the children, and
at whose expense were they to be sent back to Italy.—Aquilio
Lucioni, of Hay street, who has taken much pains to put a
stop to the system, said he hoped he should be able to pro-
vide a means, or he intended to petition the Pope on the
subject. —Mr. Hardwick doubted whether the Pope woeild
interfere in this matter. The defendant was then sent to
prison and hard labour for one month.
THREATENING TO BURN A MAN OUT OF HIS Hewer.—
C. Carter were summon( d or threateeing burn
D. and U.
Kempton out of his house.--13. f
Kempton, upholsto terer,
293, Oxford-street, said one of the defendants was his land-
lord. A few nights ago the defendants threat, ned to burn
him out of his house. He feared they would put their threats
into execution, as on a recant occreion a piece of carpet situ
rated with some inflammable liquid was thrown on the tire,
and, on igniting, it set tire to the clothes of one of the child-
ren.—Cross.examined by Mr. Wolf: lied no furniture in
the house to burn, but his children were in the house. All
his goods bad been seized by the landlord. Had refused 60/.
'to give up the place. On Christmas•day last about 271. 10s.
was due for rent, Lut the landlord to& 501. worth of goods
ti pay himself. Had underlet the premises toe person who
sold goods by auction. Did not know whether it was a mock
auction or not.—The defendant C. Carter said he let the shop,
parlour, and kitchen to the complainant for 110/. a year. The
complainant held power ion without having the means of pay-
ing rent, and be had, in addition, threatened to ruin him be- I
fore he had done with him. It was hardly likely he should I
intend to set fire to the house when he lived in it with his
wife and family. He had offered to give up tile debt due '1
by the complainant if he would go out of the hose. The
complainant said the defendant had seized all he could, and
annoyed him in every passible way. Ile had spent 801. on
the premises, and he did not see why he should turn out of
the house, when he had an agreement for three years with
the laudlord.—Mr. Hardwick said the defendant Carter
might possibly have a very trotblssome tenant, but he mast
take legal means to get rid of him.—The complainant's
daughter said she heard the defendant threaten to burn her
father out. On Wednesday last a piece of lighted sack was
thrown down the chimney, and her sister was set on fire by
it —Mr. Hardwick, being of opinion that the complainant
bad no real ground for biz fears, dismissed the charge.

MONEY MARKET.
SATURDAY EVBNINO.
The funds have shown signs of weakness to-day
which would seem to signify that the dealers and
speculators who have been operating for some time
past in favour of higher prices, begin rather to feel
their confidence shaken as to any further present im-
provement, on grounds, however, purely political, and
arising from the troubled state of affairs in Italy, if
not also threatening in Spain. Some time after the
opening of the market this morning strong
sellers of Consols, both money and time
stock, made their appearance, and from 89:i to
the first quotations of the morning, prices were de-
pressed to 891, at which done for account. After
some further fluctuations, and the cessation of sales,
prices however recovered at the close fri far as to 894
to 1 for money, and 891 to ;=,- for account. The
Bank broker took a quantity of Long Annuities,
which afforded some support to the general market,
and made the price of those securities better at 9 1-1'

Yesterday's improvement in foreign securities was
not supported to-day to the extent, but in fact the
business done was entirely inconsiderable. Spanish

It is stated to-day, and upon what is understood to
be good authority, that after all there really was no
Mansion house inquiry at all about a business in
which certain parties of consideration were said to be
implicated. The report took its rise from an attempt
Ito force on Mansion-house interference without a pro-
per ease to warrant such a proceeding. The whole
case is involved still in so much obscurity that it is
scarcely possible to collect an intelligible outline of it
from the various versions in circulation. So far as can
be gathered, it would seem to resolve itself into a dispute
about one partner signing for another in his absence,
in a business and for a distinct concern for which the
absent partner had the power himself to act and to
sign. On behalf of this concern secarity was to be
given for a credit on Adelaide or some other part of
Australia to one of the Australian banks, and the
security so to be given was signed by the partner, as
aforesaid, acting for his absent partner. This security
was disputed, and sought to be set aside by the con-
cern for which it was given, on the ground of the
informality of the party signing having no authority,
ad hoc, although his partner had. Hence, between
the bank annoyed about the difficulty raised and the
concern signed for, the attempt to bring it before
Mansion-house authority.
On M-nday last a meeting took ein Glasgow
of the creditors of Mr. Alexander Alison, jun., iron-
master, who, as one of the directors of the Ayr-
shire Iron Company, and as proprietor of the North
British ,lionnewspaper, has had his affairs greatly
talked of. The interim factor read a report, from which
it appeared that the bankrupt estimated hie liabilities
in the meantime at about 80,0001., while his assets,
exclusive of reversions expected to be recovered from
the estate of Pitoon, &c., were about 12,0001. The
amount of absolute loss was given at 55,0001. ; and
amongst the items which made up this sum were
6,4001. lost upon pig iron ; 11,8001. bad debts; 21,3001.
