TtlOttsON V. DANIEL.—Tita CLia OF Ilia DEPTTT
DAY (Mail Mamas or LONDON.
The facts of this case have been fully reported, the
question in dispute being whether the day oyster meters
were an immemorial body having the right to make rules
and regulations among themselves, and to prescribe an
equal division of the profits arising from the immemorial
right which they possessed of shovelling, unloading, and
delivering the oysters ; or whether the Corporation of Lon-
don had a right to consider them as its own subordinate
cfficers, and to appoint upon terms inconsistent with the re-
gulations of the body. The corporation bad taken the
, latter course, and the bill was filed by 16 of the body
against the two thus appointed by the corporation, seeking
an account of profits received by them, and an equal divi-
sion. The case was defended by the corporation, whose
eject was stated to be to get rid of the fees demanded from
the purchasers of oysters.
His Honour, after going through the facts, said he was
satisfied that the plaintiffs had established the immemorial
right ; that the custom had been already established in
" Layburne v. Crisp," to which the corporation were not
parties, but to the expense of which they were proved to
have contributed. He thought a body of this description
might have the power of self-government ; =I that the
obligation to perform the duties of the office was quite con-
sistent with the right to prescribe among themselves how
those duties should be performed. He thought the corpo-
ration could not, as representing the yeomen of the water
side, appoint upon terms inconsistent with the general
regulations of the body. And there must therefore be an
ac.ount, with a declaration that the monies received ought
to be divided equally. The defendants have been allowed
all sums properly paid by them for labour in shovelling,
unloading, and delivering.

His Honour stated that it might be convenient for counsel
to know that, owing to the necessity for attending at cham-

after three o'clock, and rise at half-past three. His Honour
also stated that the dots and times at which applications for

This was the first day of term. Lord Cranwerth, having

Lord Campbell, at the sitting of the court, said that the
judges had that day signed a new body of rules, for regu-
lating the practice of the superior courts of common law at
Westminster Hall. Their lordships had adopted the fol-
lowing plan, and they hoped it would be generally approved,
viz. :—to abolish all the written rules, from the earliest
periods, and upon this tabula rasa to set out a new body of
riries for the uniform regulation of all the courts.
The learned Mites had also prepared undue body of rules
to carry out the intentions of the legislature in reference to
the new Common Law Procedure Act, and is render the
application of justice speedy ; but these, before they could
come into operation, must receive the unction of the two
Houses of Parliament. They would be laid before paHla-
meet on the 10th of February next, and in about three
months afterwards, unless disapproved of by the Wide-
ture, they would come into operation. Strictly speaking,
the body of rules, to which reference had been made in the
first instance, ought to be read in court; but his lordship
thought it would be unnecessary to do so at that time, as
the rules would be printed and ready for all who desired
to have them to-morrow (this day.)
Lord Campbell then went through the bar; nothing,
however, transpired of autlicient public interest to require
a report.

EVANS V. EDICOMDI.—EXTELAORDINART PLEA or FRAUD,

The plaintiff in 66 cue sited u trustee, under a deed
of separation between the defendant and his wife, to re-
cover two quarters of an annuity due to the wife. The
deed was dated the 11th of January, 1844, and the amount
of the annuity which the defendant covenanted to pay
was al. 191. 6d per annum. The defence to the action
was contained in a plea, which stated that the defendant
was induced to cuter into the deed of separation by the
false and fraudulent representations of the plaintiff, who
falsely represented that the defendant's wife, Emily Elisa-
beth Edmonds, was a person of virtuous, moral, and mo-
dest conduct and behaviour, and that he (the plaintiff) was
also a virtuous and moral man, and a fit and proper per-
son to act us truree under the deed of separation ; whereas
these representations were false, inasmuch as the plaintiff
had treacherously and perfidiously seduced her, and that
be gat the deed from the defendant in order to enable him
to have access to her. The cause came on for trial before
the Chief Justice, at the sittings after last term in Middle.
sex, when the jury found a verdict for the defendant.
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., now moved for • rule to show

cause why there should not be judgment non abstante vere-
ditto, or a new trial, nßoa the ground that the verdict was
against the evidence. The learned counsel submitted that
the plei we. no answer to the action, although upon the
morality of the case he had nothing to say.
The Chief Justice said there was no doubt at all that he
seduced the defendant's wife before he got the deed.
Mr. James admitted that there had been criminal inter-
course between the plaintiff and the defendant's wife ' • and
that in an action brought against the plaintiff in May,
1845, for criminal conversation, he had paid 2001. under a
judge's order, but since that time the defendant had regu-
hrly paid the annuity to the plaintiff as trustee. The
plaintiff had no beneficial interest in the matter, for he
was only trustee, the defendant's wife being costal que
trust, and the plea alleged no misconduct on her part in
obtaining the deed. This being so it was submitted that
the plea did not contain a sufficient answer to the action.
The Chief Justice.—lf it was not an answer it was cer-
tainly a very terrible state of things ; for Evans and the
defendant's wife were living together, and the husband
was keeping them under this annuity deed.
Mr. Justice Mauls supposed the case was this—that Mr.
Edmonds was very willing to give 59/. 19s. Bd. a year to
have his wife away from him, supposing her to be very vir-
tuous; but as it turned out that she was not, he would not
give that amount to keep her away. (A laugh.)
Rule granted.

This else, it will be remembered, was an action upon a
bill of exchange for 1,000/., given by the defendant (now
Sir Robert Clifton) to a person called Rowlands, who was
stated to be a medical man, for part of a sum lost at domi-
noes by the defendant whilst playing with Rowlands on
board a Rhine steamboat in 184 S. The bill had been en-
dorsed over to Morgan, the plaintiff, who was an hotel-
keeper at Abcrgavenny. The case we tried at Guildhall,
when a verdict was found for the plaintiff ; but • rule was
subsequently obtained to set aside that verdict, and the
matter noir came on for argument.
The Chief Baron had been reading his notes of the trial
a short time, when be was stopped by Mr. James, who said
there was eery probability of an arrangement being come
to if the court would postpone the matter until the follow-
ing morning.
Mr. Chambers said it would be most desirable to prevent
the facts being again brought before the public, as they in-
volved some family matters, and there was another bill for
1,0001. given by the defendant to Rowlands on the same
occasion. lle hoped the short delay proposed, and to
which he was ready to assent, would afford an opportunity
fey the settlement of both actions.
The matter was then postponed.

IN TAB MATTI& OP JOHN RICHARDSON.
This insolvent, an estate agent and road contractor,
was opposed by Mr. Cooke for Al detaining creditor a

Mr. Homersham. Mr. Cooke supported the application for
discgeAcacorrding to the insolvent's account he owed 1,1631., for
which he had received consideration, and had 4,4201. owing
to him, of which he alleged that 3,8141. were good debts.
He claimed 3,5001. of Sir. Dames, the yor of the
Phoenix Fire Office, as a commission of 6 per tent. on the
sale of an estate' at Norwood for 65,0001. He alleged that
Sir John Musgrove had been introduced by him to Mr.
Mr. Daiwa, who had the estate to sell for another person,
and that he was entitled to the per tentage. He said a Mr.
Mapleton had offered him 4031. on the part of Mr. Daines,
which he had refused. He (the insolvent) had brought an
action against Mr. Dairies to recover the sum of 3,5001.,
but the action had not proceeded beyond the
service of the writ. On a former °cesium fur-
ther evidence was required in respect of the
and Mr. Daines now attended. Ile stated that he
was employed by a lady named Smith, who now resided in
Lansdowne-place, Wandsworth-road, to sell an estate at
Norwood. The property was not sold to Sir John Mus-
grove, and as there was & suit in Chancery involving about
100,0001. of property, he claimed the protection of the
court in the matter before be answered the questions.
The Chief Commissioner told Mr. Daisies he was bound to
answer the questions.
Mr. Dairies proceeded to state on examination that Sir
John Musgrove proposed to buy the estate. The insolvent
did not bring Sir John. He (Mr. Dairies) was fearful that
as there were proceedings he might damage the case.
Mr. Cooke told him there were no criminal proceedings,
and he was bound to give evidence.
The Chief Commissioner thought there should be some
reserve.
Mr. Cooke reminded the court that the Act 48 Oeo. 111.
settled the point. A witness was bound to answer all such
questions.
Mr. Daisies stated that the suit in Chancery by Sir John
Musgrove was to compel the sale and the question to ascer-
taio, whether he was the purchaser. He (Mr. Daises) had
never authorised Mr. Mapleton to offer the insolvent 4001.
He believed Sir John Musgrove was introduced by Mr.
, Mapleton through Mr. Jay, who was secretary of the Mo-
, notch insurance, of which Sir John Musgrove was director.
He was confident be did not owe the insolvent the sum he
had claimed. .

Mr. Cooke said it was important to appoint an assignee
to proceed with the action against Mr. Daiues, as if it was
recovered all the creditors would be paid, and a large sur-
plus left.
Mr. Nichols remarked that it was plain Sir John Mus-
grove believed he had purchased the property by the suit
in Chancery.

of an assignee to carry on the action, and the insolvent was

PILESIENTMENT BT 11111 GRAND JCaY.
In the course of the day the grand jury made the fol-
lowing presentment, which was handed to the court by the
foreman :

The grand jury, in closing their labours, would make
the following remarks upon the cages that have come under
their notice. There have been several charges of • compa-
ratively trifling character, and they would suggest that in
all cases of such a nature, where there has been no previous
conviction, the magistrates should deal with them summa-
rily, and not put the county to the expense of a prosecu-
tion. There have been two cues of assault in which the
grand jury bare been unable to find true bills, owing to
the absence of the parties assaulted—these parties being in
one case the wife of, and in tho other a woman living with,
the prisoner. Cues of this character the grand jury also
think should be adjudicated upon by summary punishment.
The grand jury rejoice to hear that there is a prospect of
the grand jury being dispensed with, as they feel that the
present system is of no real value as to furthering the ends
of justice.
The Assistant Judge said he could not entirely concur in
the opinions expressed by the grand jury. Cues which
might appear to them very trilling, or comparatively so,
were really in many instances cases of magnitude. He then
referred to the case of Kirby Patrick, tried before him on
Monday, as illustrating this. That prisoner had received a
sentence of two months more than the magistrate could
have awarded, and but for particular circumstances the
sentence would have been twelve months, although from
the small sum he was charged with having stolen the grand
jury might have deemed it a fit case to be disposed of by the
magistrate. With reference to their remarks as to the non-
appearance of prosecutors in assault cues he might tell
them, that the court could not compel their appearance,
and could only entreat their recognisance, if they did not
appear. He cordially agreed with them in that part of the
presentment relative to the abolition of grand juries.
On the grand jury bringing into court an ignored bill in
a case of assault by a husband on his wife, the foreman said
they could not find it, on account of the non-appearance of
the wife,
The Assistant Judge remarked that when these cases
were decided by the magistrate, and the full penalty the
magistrate could inflict, 1.e., a fine or a term of imprison-
ment, was imposed, a great deal of censure was cut upon
them for passing over brutality in that way. That court
could deal with them with much more severity, but when
the magistrate sent such a case as the one under notice, for
instance, for trial, the probability was that the wife was
got hold of, and persuaded out of appearing, by which
means the brute got off with impunity.

Barone Ma. Mrnaum
Jan Williams licalluy, 04, pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment, in which he was charged with having fraudulently
obtained the sum of oar. from John Chapman, with intent
to chest him thereof. . .

The particulars of this ease appeased in the newspapers
on Monday. The prisoner is a notorious victimiser of hotel
and tavern keepers, his method of operation beim to run
up a bill, and then obtain an advance upon a false cheque,
out of which the bill was to be paid. He had been several
times convicted of these offences, and was once tried and
acquitted. He was now sentenced to one year's hard
labour. He pretended to be very deaf, and begged that the
sentence might be communicated to him in writing, which
was done, and he left the dock apparently quite content.

TILE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.

Cat/urine Taylor, a Irishwoman, who had
a child at her breast, was ore Mr. Jardine with
obtaining money end wearing apparel from two servant
maids under the protease of " telling their fortunes."
Mazy Digaam stated that she was in service at 2, Tart-
stock•street, Covent-garden. A few days age the prisoner
came to the door with earrings for sale, and she took the
opportunity of asking witness if she would like to have her
fortune told for sixpence. Witness thought she should,
and paid the woman twopence haltsosmay on account, but
ale insisted on sixpence also. The poiseasr then told her a
umber of things, and crossed witnifilis hand three times
with the sixpence, after which she undo an appointment
with her to call again two days aftuitards after °conking
"the book of know e." Oa the eneeita of her second
obit, the prisoner asiW vintage how soh Mraisulembe had,

paper, tying it round three times with a piece
of enchanted string, and once more with a pisee of hair

with her right hand. The woman next desired her to place
the money in her bosom, on her right side. sad allow it to

was tied in four or five knots—each keel bait Italained
by witness and the prisoner pulling the contend the bead-
kerchief with all their might. Aker this psMMm
*bassi
had to take off her garter, and have the handkerchief bound
round her right leg for two hours. It was then 2 o'clock,
and while the prisoner was tying the handkerchief to her
leg, she predicted that witness would be married twice, and
would meet with many misfortunes. The prisoner then
told her fellow-servant's fortune and left the house,
promising to return again in a few days. Precisely at 4
o'clock witness went down into the kitchen and took off the
handkerchief ; and, after untying all the knots, she disco-
vered, to her dismay, that the half-sovereign and shilling
had been changed to a couple of farthings. She confessed
all to her mistress when she returned home, and was ad-
viaed to give a description of the woman to the police-in-
spectors at Dow street, which she accordingly did the same
evening.
Jane Gore, another girl in the same service, after corro•
boating the above statement, deposed that she a.so con-
sented to have her fortune told. At the request of the
prisoner she fetched her shawl, a shift, a petticoat, and an
apron. The prisoner wrapped them up into a bundle and
crossed it, and then placed some white powder in witness's
lett hand and some black powder in her right boot ; after
which she was to throw nine grains of salt into the dre, and
wish three times. (Laughter.)
Mr. Jardine—Were all the wishes to turn up. or only
one?
Winces—They were all to come true. She toad me to
blow into the shawl nine times, and stick three pins into
each corner of it. She then said that she should go away
for 20 minutes, and during the interval I was to take a hair
out of the right side of my head, and put it into a tumbler
of cold water. I was also to cut off three pieces of toe-
nail, and throw them into the fire. (Roars of laughter.)
When she went away she took the bundle of clothes to be
" charmed." I did what she desired me to do in her ab-
sence, and expected her back again ; bat I never saw her
again till last night, when she was in custody.
Mr. Jardine asked the girls (who gave their evidence
with perfect gravity) if they could read and write •
They replied in the negative.
Mr. Jardine—Row did the prisoner get into custody?
inspector Mackenzie stated that she was brought to the
police station for being drunk and breaking a window in
Holborn, and her appearance corresponded so exactly with
the description given by the two servants, that they were
both sent for, and they at once identified her.
The prisoner denied that she had ever seen the girls be-
fore, and kept up a whining appeal to the Divinity to estab-
lish her innocence throughout the examination. She called
a man, one of her companions, who said he had ktswn her
for 16 years as a respectable woman, deserted by her hus-
band, with four living children, and three lying dead at one
time with the smallpox ; but he admitted that she got her
living by travelling the country as a hawker of combs, &c.
Mr. Jardine, after expressing his astonishment that such
dupes could be met with in these enlightened times, sen-
tenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour.
William Saunders and John Stack, two youths under 20,
were charged with stealing a gold watch in the pit of the
Olympic Theatre, on Monday night.

Sophia Cox, of 75, Drury-lane, the prosecutriz, stated
that she missed her watch at a few minutes past nine,
having seen it just previously. At the tame moment she
missed a led (Stack) who bad been tutting near her, and
saw the other prisoner (Saunders) also leaving the theatre.
She gave information to the constable on daty, and Saun-
ders was taken at once ; but Stack, who is known to the
police, was not apprehended till one o'clock in the morn-
ing, by which time, of course, he had disposed of the

pri Mper.riy.
Jardine remanded both prisoners for further exa-
mination.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Witliem Balton, a journeyman blacksmith, w:.s charged
with a municrons assault upon his mother, an infirm and
aged woman, with a hammer, whereby her life had been
seriously endangered.
The comßlainant, who was is such a state of acute per-
sonal suffering as to require the assistance of two 'Akers to
support her to the witness box, where she was scarcely able
to give het evidence, stated that for a considerable time
past she had provided the prisoner with board and lodging
at her house in Wheeler-street, Spite Melds, and with the
exception of an occasional scanty allowance from his weekly
wages, he depended solely upon her for subsistence. On
leaving home on the previous morning the prisoner directed
her to have some cocoa in readiness for him at the time of
his return, but not having the means of procuring fuel to
light a fire for that purpose, she was unable to comply
with his request. Between seven and eight o'clock in the
evening the primmer returned home in a state of intexica-
tion, and finding that his expected meal had not
been prepared for him, he burst open the door
of her room, and after assailing her with the
coarest vituperation caught up a large hammer,
with which he struck her repeated blows about
the head, arms, and every part of her person. After
beating her until she was a complete mass of bruises, and
was reduced to a state of partial insensibility, the prisoner
ultimately seised hold of her, end dragging her towards s
large tub filled with water, plunged her into it, declaring
that he would settle her at once. She was struggling to
extricate herself, when some of the lodgers who had been
attracted by her screams, at length hastened to her assis-
tance and rescued her from further ill treatment.
Sergeant Ding, H 22, stated that having received infor-
mation that a man was in the act of murdering his mother,
he hastened to the house, where ho found the complainant
lying upon the floor, and presenting a half-drowned ap-
pearance, her dress being saturated with water, which was
dripping front it, and he also observed that the ,sack part et
her cap was stained with blood. As the poor woman was
writhing about in an evident state of extreme pain, Le
rained her in his arms and gave dine:ions for her immediate
removal to the hospital, and having ascertained from the
persons present that her iejuries had been inflicted by her
son, who had locked himself in one of the upper rooms, he
proceeded there and took him into custody. On their way
to the station-house he was iuformed by the lodgers that
they had been compelled on several occasions to interfere
for the protection of the old woman from the prisoner's
violence, and that he would certainly murder her unless
proper means were adopted to secure her safkty.
Tho sergeant handed to the magistrate a certificate from
Mr. Bell, the house surgeon at the London Hospital, which
stated that the complainant had sustained numerous severe
contusions and 'accretions about the head, arms, chest, legs,
and other parts of her person.
On being asked if he wished to say anything in answer
to the charge, the prisoner, in a sullen tone, rep:ied that
all he had to say was that he did not attempt to use the
hammer until his mother had seized him by the hair of the
head, when ho merely gave her " a trip or two with it
now and then," to induce her to relinquish her hold.
The priseaer was remanded.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Edmund Bragg, clerk in the service of the Great Western
Railway Company, was charged with stealing a snuff-box,
the property of the Great Western Railway Snutf Club.
James Spencer said he was clerk in the Great Western
Company's Accountant's office. There was a snuff club
supported by about 26 of the clerks. The prisoner was a
member of the club, and had care of the club snuir-box. A
short time ago a subscription wos entered into for the pur-
chase of a new box. The prisoner received the money to
pay for the box. Soon after the purchase of the box it w.ai
missed, and no tidings could be had of it until Saturday,
when on the prisoner's apprehension, • quantity of dupli-
cates was found in his possession, one of which related to
the musing box.
The prisoner was fully committed.
LAMBETH.

Frederick Butler, a person well known to the police, was
charged with being concerned, with others not in custody,
with burglariously breaking into the premises of Mr.
Thomas Prince, the keeper of a fancy bazaar, in ihekfoid-
row, Walworth-road, and stealing therefrom property of the
value of 700 f.
Mr. Lund, the superintendent of the P division of polio.',
stated that at a late hour on Friday night last, or early on
Saturday morning, the premises of Mr. Prince h.od ?soca
hurglanously entered, and property, consisting of watches,
jewellery, and other articles, to the amount of nearly 7001.,
carried away by the thieves. From information which had
reached him (Mr. Lund), he had no doubt whatever that
the prisoner was a party to the robbery, and he, in conse-
quence, caused his apprehension. The time was so short,
however, he had not the necessary witnesses in Dn.:ad:knee.
Mr. Elliott—Are you prepared to swear that you believe
that the prisoner is one of the parties concerned in tho bur-
glary, and that on a future day you will produce witnesses
to the fact?
Mr. Lund—l ant prepared to swear that, but besides
there is a witness in attendance who has something to
state.
Mr. Thomas Peacock, a builder,residiag at No. 23, Beck-
ford-row, Walworth-road, next door to Mr. Prince, was
then sworn, and deposed that on Saturday night last, at
about half-past 11 o'clock, and while going to b-d, he
looked out of the window to see if his gates were closed, and
distinctly saw two men en bis premises. One was a stout
man, and ho had very little doubt on his mind the,: that
person was the prisoner, though he should not wish to swear
to it. At the station-house he pointed the prisoner out
from several others there. _ _ _
_ .

An attorney, on the part of the prisoner, submitted that
there was so evidence to justify the detention of his client.
Mr. Elliott considered that there was quito stdiicipnt to
detain the prisoner for further examination, and rednaLdcd
him for that purpose.
