LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

for debt in the Queen's Prison. This was a sitting for exa- ,
urination and discharge. The debts are 12,9481., of which
1,0001. are secured. The property held as security is put
down at 80,0001., and is represented as coosining of a free-
hold estate of about 40,000 acres in the county of Kan.
Earths and Fayette, in Virginia, which before the American
war was worth at least 80,0001., but part of the estate had
skies been occupied by the combatants on both sides, and
being unproductive it was impossible to make any intimate
of its present value. It was mortgaged to a Mr. Edwards,
of Newburgh, in the state of New York, to secure about
1,0001.
Mr. Ilargood mid that the bankrupt was an inhabitant of
the southern stake of America, where the bankrupt laws
of this country were not recognised. (A laugh.) The
sseignees, therefore, wished that he should execute to them
a conveyance of the property which he alleged himself to
be entitled to in Virginia. They also desired further in-
formation as to some contracts in which the bankrupt had
been engaged. If the bankrupt undertook to do this no
opposition would be offered to his passing.
Mr. Chidley, for the bankrupt, urged that he should now
pass. He had given the fullest information as to his pro-
perty in Virginia, and the assignees could not have a better
title to it than the records of this court.
The Registrar allowed the bankrupt to piss—further
information to be given before the sitting for discharge,
which was fixed for the 13th of January.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

After Term Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.—(Before
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.)
r. tLITCHJC. —Lan.

The further hearing of this cue was resumed this morn-
.
lir. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Watkin Williams, sad Yr.
Eihisol Bexley were counsel for the plaintiff; Sir F. Kelly,
Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Rew were counsel for the
ilefeodaq.

Sir F. Kelly said he understood from Mr. Chambers that
lie had concluded the plaintiff's case. He bad, therefore,
to submit that the libel complained of was a privileged cow
municatioo. Lord Campbell had held that • communica-
tion made bona fide, in which the party communicating bad
an interert, or in reference to which he had a
rt to perform, was privileged, although the statement
might contain calumnious matter, which otherwise would
be 'bilious or slanderous. The directors and policyholders
of an insurance office were in a different position to a
joint stock company. If Mr. Jones had completed his policy
be would have been a member of the company, and would
Fare bad an interest in all that concerned it.

The Lord Chief Justice mid he was strongly in the learned
counsel's favour, so far as the pamphlets were concerned,
which oonsisted of an attack and a reply, but there were
the spoken words "gigantic fraud," which be could not
withdraw from the jury. He repeated it was a pity some
amicable arrangement had not been come to.
. .

Sir F. Kelly said they must be taken in connexion with
the occasion when they were ,spoken, and what they were
really intended to convey.
The Lord Chief Justice said he could not withdraw the
words from the jury. It was for them to say whether they
were used bona fide or with a =litho'', motive towards the
plaintiff.
Mr. M. Chambers said it was for the judge to rule if the
occasion when the words were spoken created the privilege.
But express malice from the surrounding circumstances or
from the womb of the libel was a question for the jury.
The Lord Chief Justice declined to withdraw the ques-
tion from the jury.
Sir F. Kelly then addressed the jury for the defendant.
He reminded them that the real defendants were the di-
rectors, and not Mr. Ritchie, who was their London agent,
Ind it was on their conduct with reference to this
policy they were culled on to pronounce a ver-
dict. That was the first time the directors
had had an opportunity of saying one word for
themselves before the public, or of publicly ex-
plaining their conduct, and therefore he entreated
them to consider the preliminaries of the awe and their rub-
sequent conduct. He should materially vary the evidence
with reference to the interview between Mr. Jones and the
defendant, and he called attention to the fact that it was
not till June, 1837, a period of five years or
more after effecting the policy and after the death
of Captain Cook, the only man besides the plaintiff who had
the -.lightest knowledge or who could give any information
on the transaction after the bill bad been filed in
Chancery and the plaintiff's affidavit, that the directors
had the slightest intimation that anything bad trans-
pired even between the plaintiff and Mr. Cook
affecting the policy or their conduct in reference
to it. The policy was effected in strict and literal
conformity with the memorandum of proposal in
the plaintiff 's handwriting, and he confidently as-
serted it war impossible for anyone to raise
a doubt as to the meaning of the proposaL The
directors bad been charged without foundation of fraud, be-
cause the license was word for word the same as the memoran-
dum of proposaL The learned counsel then minutely entered
into the details of the case, and contrasted the statements
put forth in Mr. Fowler's pamphlet with the mistier'
given by the directors in their reply. From the terms
of the memorandum of license and the endorsement,
the directors could do no other than resist the
payment of the policy. Mr. Hare clearly died without the
limits, and it was not a question of liberality or generosity
by the directors towards the plaint.ff, but of justice towards
a large body of policyholders. The directors could not—
indeed they had no right to be—liberal to the plaintiff at their
expense.
The learned counsel was proceeding with his address
when our report left.]

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
DAVEY V. COBBLE.
In this case, which was tried a few days ago, and which
resulted in a verdict against the will,
Dr. Spinks moved by agreement that administration be
granted to one of each party, and that the whole of the ex.
pensci he paid out of the estate.
s., C. Cromwell thought the proposal a very fair one, and
mule an order as prayed.
LAMB V. LAMB AND SHEIL.
in this case, also recently tried, Dr. Spinks brought in an
affidavit caring a formal defect in the proof, and
Sir C.' Cromwell made a decree nisi with costs.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Serjeant.)
William Crane, 16, pleaded guilty to a charge of em.
bezzling 2/. 10s., the property of Edmund Farthing.
The circumstances of this case were very extraordinary.
The prisoner entered the service of the prtePentor about
three weeks back, and on the same day Mr. Farthing sent
him to take a coat home to • customer and gave him the
bill reosipted for 2/. Ma. He, however, never returned
with the money and was afterwards apprehended. The
prisoner, when before the magistrate, made a long
statement, in which he went through the transaztions of a
whole day, and stoutly denied the charge, saying that he
returned at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and gave Mr. Far-
thing the 2/. 10. He put it into his cash-box, and
boxed his ears for not being quicker. Because be was a
little saucy, and would not go to his work again, he had
brought this charge against him, and said he had never
returned. _ . . .

Thelearned Common Serjeant asked the prosecutor if
there was any truth in what the prisoner had stated before
the magistrate.
Mr. Farthing said there was not the least truth in one
word ; it was • whole tissue of falsehoods.
Inspector Burke, of the P division, stated that he knew
the prisoner. A short time deck he charged • man
with garottiog him in Camberwell, and robbing him of
etghteenpence, and, after • remand, the magistrate dis-
charged the man, as he did not believe the statement
of the prisoner. A short time before that he gave inform-
ation to the police that a man had been stealing some iron
belonging to the London and Chatham Railway. The pri-
soner obtained some money from the company under the
pretence that he had lost his situation through appearing at
the police-court. The case was remanded, and on the day
it was to be heard the officer received a letter from the pri-
soner, stating that he was at Brighton, and if he wanted him
he most go and fetch him, and the man was discharged. lie
had every reason to believe that both these charges were
false.

The Common Serjeant said that but for what he bad
beard he should have pawed a very light sentence upon the
prisoner. Hs shadd not, however, punish him for the false
charges mentioned by the officer. The charge against him
was one of a very serious character, and was very much
aggravated by the false and wicked statement he had
made in his defence ; as it was he considered he was passing
a very light sentence, and sentenced the prisoner to nine
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Edward Wood surrendered to take his trial for stealing
801, the property of Mary Stedolpb.
Mr. Giffard prosecuted ; and Beat defended the Ni-
gel:ker.
The circumstances of this awe were rather singular. It

appeared that the prisoner was the dust 000tisclor to the
parish of Bermondsey, and the prosesatria carries on the
business of • confectioner, with her sister, in the Ber-
mondsey New-road. Late at night on the 20th of No-
member the prosecutrix placed the sum of 801. in gold,
the whole of it, with the exception of one sovereign, being
in half sovereigns, under the fender of one of the grates,
tied up in a piece of calico, and on the following morn-
ing the servant swept the money away with the dust,
and on the same morning it was taken with a quantity
of other dust to the prisoner's yard. The treasure was
discovered, and ;when the prisoner was questioned, he at
first denied that any money had been found ; but be sub-
sequently admitted that he had received fifteen pounds
of the money, and said that it had been found in the
dust-heap, and that it was the custom in the yard
to share all money or valuables that were found under
these circumstauces, and that the fifteen pounds were has
share. The charge of larceny was sought to be supported
upon • legal decision given by Baron Parke, which was to
the effect that any person finding property for which he
bad a reasonable opportunity, by making inquiries, of dis-
covering the owner, and appropriating it to his own use,
was guilty of larceny; and in the present gum it was al-
leged that dust had only been removed from four houses on
that morning, and that the owner might easily have been
discovered if the slightest inquiry had been made.
Mr. Best contended, on behalf of the priaoner, that
under the circumstances under which the money was found
it might reasonably have been considered as lost, and that
if he had said anything about it plenty of people would have
been ready to come forward to claim it ; and he had no
means of knowing who the real owner was.
Several witnesses gave the prisoner • good character.
The jury after a good deal of deliberation found the prisoner
Guilty of receiving the money, knowing at the same time that
the owner might have been discovered, if inquiries were
made, but they at the same time said they believed the pri-
soner considered that it was • legal perquisite.
The (Common-serjeant said it was well it should be
known that to appropriate money or valuable property,
under such circumstances, was not only dishonest but an
offence against the law. The object of the prosecution
would probably, however, be answered by the conviction that
had taken place, and he should therefore only sentence the
prisoner to two months' imprisonment.
NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Haz
IN RE ZACHARIAH C. PEA WiON.
The bankrupt was a merchant and shipowner, of Niche-
las-lane, and of Hull. He was formerly mayor of that
place. This was the sitting for examination and discharge.
No accounts had been filed.
Mr. C. E. Lewis, who appeared for the bankrupt, said be
n0...t admit that his client was in default in not having
ided his accounts in tine for the examination meeting ; but
was in this difficulty, that he did not know what the
assignees wanted.
Mr. Lawrence said the assignees did not charge the bank.
rapt with any default. At the request of the assignees he
would ask for a abort adjournment, although he doubted
whether the accounts would then be ready.
Adjourned to the Bth of January.
IN BE W. PETTIGREW, M.D.
The bankrupt was described as a dealer in medicine, of
Chester-street, Grosvenor-place. This was the sitting for
examination acid discharge. The accounts, prepared by
Basra Hart Brothers and Bayles, disclose a deficiency of
10,1691. The bankrupt owes to unsecured creditors
2,314/. ; to those holding **entity, 132/. ; liabili-
ties secured and unsecured, 8,4861. • assets and
property held, 764/. Of the liabilities 3,000/. is
stated to arise in connexion with the State of
which the bankrupt had been medical officer, and had
allowed his name to be put down for 3,000 shares on con-
dition that the allotment should be nominal. The com-
pany being now in course of winding-up the bankrupt bad
been called on for 3,000 L
The name of Mr. W. Digby Seymour, M.P., occurs re-
peatedly in the bankrupt's balance-sheet. The bank-
rupt states himself to be liable to the amount
of 1,0471. on accommodation bills, accepted or
endorsed by himself for the benefit of Mr. I)igby Seymour ;
be had also became security to the Reliance Insurance Asso-
ciation for a loan of riool. to Mr. Seymour. Amongst the
holders of the accommodation bills, are Mr. G. Best, auc-
tioneer, of Rochester-row, Westminster ; Dr. Baillie, of
Coruhill ; Mr. Elliott, solicitor, of Lincoln's Inn-fields ; the
London and Middlesex Bank ; Mr. Sheppard, solicitor, Simi-
lane; and Mr. Gibbon, solicitor, of Great James-street.
The bankrupt states his expenditure at 1,200/. a year daring
the Ind two years.
Mr. Lovell, for the assignees, said they wished to know
whether there were no fees due to the bankrupt. Ile bad
returned in his belance.sheet that there were no debts due
to him, as, being a physician, he could not claim any fees,
but they wished to know whether there were not any due.
Mr. Lucas appeared for a creditor.
The bankrupts said he hail kept no account whatever of
anything that was due to him. Some of his patients bad
promised to send him a cheque when they were well. He
bad no hook containing entries of visits to his patients. He
had nothing but a list of his patients.
The Registrar—The theory of a physician is that he re-
ceive* his fee at the time.
Mr. Stansfeld (official anignee)—And puts it in his pocket
and spends it. (Laughter).
Mr. Lucas said there was *deficiency of 10,0007., and the
creditors for whom be appeared wished to know how it had
arisen. Most of the debts appeared to have been contracted
in 1862.

The Registrar said that :1,000!. had been fully accounted
for through the bankrupt's connexion with the State Fire.
othce, now in the bands of an official manager. There also
appcired to bee large amount of liabilities incurred on ac-
count of the bankrupt's brother.
Mr. Lovell said that was so, and the brother was out of
the country.
The Registrar observed that many of the receipts bad
taken place in July and August last. He presumed those
bills for Mr. Digby Seymour were accommodation bills.
Bankrupt- All of them.
Mr. Lucas—The bankrupt is the acceptor of one of the
Inns, and the endorser of others. The creditors are entitled
to further information.
Mr. Lovell—The small assets will only be wasted in fur-
ther inquiries.
The Registrar—The liabilities seem to be all guarantees
for somebody or other. It will be a question on the order
of discharge whether the bankrupt had a right to incur this
large amount of liability.
Mr. Lucas pressed for a deficiency account.
The Registrar—l don't see say good to arise from it, but I
see a great deal for coosideration at the sitting for dis-
chrge.,

Mr. Startsfeld—No good will arise from further accounts.
A gentleman who appeared for one of the insurance core-
petits they bad no objection to the bankrupt pasaiog.
Thy Registrar said he was disposed to pass the examina-
tion, hut would advise the bankrupt, before coming up for
his order of discharge, to furnish some further account of
the Lirge amount of deficiency which appeared on his be-
Linve•hett.
The hocicrupt, in answer to questions from the solicitor
who represented the insurance company, denied having stated
that his Mime was 2,0004 a year.
1 Itireately the examination and discharge were both ad-
mmod to the 21st January, it being understood that the
LWmatropt should furnish additional accounts in the mean-

to an indictment for feloniously being at large before the
expiration of a certain sentence of penal servitude, to which
he had been sentenced.
The prisoner it will be recollected was one of two brothers
who carried on the business of feather merchants at Peck-
ham, end were tried at this court for firing their premises
with intent to defraud the Globe Insurance Company. The
result of that trial was the conviction of them, and a
sentence of ten years' penal servitude was passed, and the
prisoner was sent early in the present year to the Millbank
Prison, from whence be, in company with two
other prisoners, escaped. He then got from a jeweller
at New-cross Nome jewellery b 7 means of a forged order. He
was taken on the charge at Bristol, where he was trying to
sell the property, and being sent up to London, was reoog-

The indictment for forgery, in which Mr. Kemp prose-
cuted, was not proceeded with ; and the court sentenced the
prisoner to fifteen years' penal servitude.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A stout, good-locking young woman, of dissipated ap-
pearsece, was charged with attempting to destroy her life
by jumping into the Thames from Waterloo-bridge.
Mr. John Allen, • reader on the Morning Post news.
piper, deposed that he was passing over the bridge at
4 o'clock in the morning, when he found the prisoter,
who hail been undressing herself, mounting the parapet
apparently with the intention of jumping over. He
asked her what she was doing and what she meant by
taking off her clothes, when she replied, " I am tired of my
life, and I mean to drown myself." As she really appeared
to entertain this resolution, witness held her until he could
procure the militaries of a policeman, and then he gave
her into custody. She appeared to have been drinking.
The police-officer corroborated this statement, and rid
be knew the prisoner, who got her living by prostitut,on in
the Strand. She had once before attempted to destroy
herself.

Mr. Corrie—What do you say to this?
Prisoner— I can oulv say lam tired of my life. lam
tired of my present way of living, and I have no other. I
wish to die.

The Magid:ate here examined the oomplainant'a arm,
which did not appear to hays anything the matter with it.
Mr. D'Eynoourt maid he thought the complainant was
hying to make more of the matter than than really was
any nsomsity for. At the same time. he thought defendant
had taken hold of her too hastily. Complainant had had to
pay for the summons, and defendant must pay that, and
then the summons would be dismissed.
This was done, and the summons was accordingly db•
missed.

MONEY MAILKET.--(THIAS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci.

There is still no variation in the funds, which
are quoted the same as they closed yes-
terday. Business is so dull that not a
single transaction is officially recorded this
morning in Consols for the account. This is
settling day in shares and foreign stocks. The
English railway market is dull. Foreign stocks in
many instances have improved.

Consols are now quoted 921 to 1, ex div., for
money, and 921 to ex div., for the account
(Jan. 8). The official business report is
as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 92k, 1, ez div.; Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 92, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 92, 1 ; Thirty
' Years' Annuities, 1885, lig ; Bank Stock, 2311, 231,
233 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1071, 1 ; ditto for
account, 1071 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures,
1001 ; Five per Cent. " aniseed " rupee paper,
105 ; Exchequer Bills, Bs., 12s. prem.

Foreign stocks are in good demand, and the
tendency of prices is upwards. There is a rise in
Buenos Ayres, Mexican, Greek, Italian, Turkish
Bonds of 1862, and the Consolida. Spanish
Passive Bonds and Certificates are firm. The
Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 834 to 841 ; that
of 1858, 691 to 70/ ; that of 1862,
71 to 1 ; ditto, Scrip, 21 to 3 prem. ; the Conaolidds,
881 to 39 ; Peruvian Scrip, 14 to 1 dis. ; Venezue-
lan, 24 to 2 dis. ; and Portuguese, 31 to 41 prem.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Buenos
Ayres, 98; Greek, 164, 1, A ; ditto Coupons, 6i, 1;
Italian, 714, 4; ditto Maremmana Railway, 73 ;
Mexican, 311, 4 ; ditto for account, 311, 4 ;
Portuguese scrip, 4 prem. ; Russian, 1859,
601 ; ditto 1862, 931, 1 ; Sardinian, for ac-
count, 814, ex div. ; Spanish New Deferred, for
account, 461 ; ditto Passive, 231 ; ditto Certificates,
8/ ; Turkish, 1868, 70 ; ditto 1862, scrip, 3 prem. ;
ditto paid-up, 71, 4 ; Venezuela, 241, ; ditto
scrip, 24 din

Foos o'CLocx.
Consols are quiet, at 02i to I, ex div., for money,
and 921 to #, ex div., for the account.
The amount of specie brought by the Persia from
New York is 110,0001. The gold from America has
for a long time past consisted principally of Ameri-
can coin, which is not very likely to find its way to
the Bank of England, the price offered by that es-
tablishment not being sufficiently high as com-
pared with that obtainable in the market after the
gold has been melted into bars. Any supply from
Australia, however, would probably be taken to the
Bank.
Owing to the loss of the Avon, the Atrato, from
the West Indies, has brought only about 3,000/. in
specie.
The silver market is very inactive, at be.
per ounce for bars, or Ad. below the price recently
current.
An instalment of 10 per cent. fell due yesterday on
the Venezuelan Loan of 1,000,000/. stock. Only
one further instalment of 10 per oent., due the 15th
January, has now to be met, to complete the price
of issue, which was only 63 for a six per cent.
stock.
The present is not the regular mail from New
Granada, but has brought on account of the divi-
dend fund a remittance of 4341. 10s. from San J 0845
de Cucuta, a port not included in the agreement
with the bondholders.
The Levant Herald mentions, ass. gratifying proof
of the elasticity of the Turkish revenue, that the
Constantinople customs dutiesyielded foe the month
of October a total of 65,0001., which shows an

increase of about 180 per cent.
The half-yearly dividends are announced on Por-
tuguese Three per Cents., Italian Five per Ceuta.,
Peruvian Uribarren and Arica and Tacna Bonds,
New South Wales Government Debentures, and
Zealand Railway shares.
The Avon, the loss of which has just been re-
ported, was one of the oldest steamers belonging to
the Royal Mail Steam Company, having been built
in 1842. She was a wooden vessel, registered 1,834
tons, with 440 horse power, and was valued at only
about 15,0001. The Avon had on board when
wrecked about 200,0001. in silver and a email quan-
tity of cargo from Greytown, all of which is expected
to be recovered and forwarded to this country by
the steamer due on the 29th inst. Thecompany are
their own insurers.
The Ottoman Bank have paid over to the Cen-
tral Relief Fund a first contribution of 2001. sub-
scribed M Constantinople for the relief of the Lan-
cashire operatives.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 1,8961., and the South Eastern
a decrease of 1831.
The receipts of the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 28th November
were 13,9151. sterling, being 3,956/. wore than in
the corresponding week of last year.
The third call of 11. ia to be paid on the Four-and-
a-Half per Cent. Preference Shares of 1862 of the
London and Blackwell Railway by the Ist January.
The arrangements are notified in connection with
the payment of the half-yearly interest on the shares
of the Rio de Janeiro City Improvements Company.
