IHIS DAY.

Titc o'CLocx.

The share market to-day has been flat for all de-
scriptions. The decline in the Midland receipts is
again made use of by the " bears" to depress the mar-
ket, notwithstandingithe large increase in the returns
of all the other chief lines. 'this is "ticket-lay," and
the settlement of the account is in full progress.
Midlands are especially depressed, baring declined
30s. Yesterday there was a " hackwardation "of
to a on this stock; but to-day a " continuation" of
I; has been paid. East Lancashires, Great Northerns,
and Lancashire and Yorkshires are lower than yes-
terdar ; but on other shares the decline is not so
=nava.

BURY COUNTY CYAtT.

TEE EARI. oe DEEM: V. I/MUMMY OF THE POOIL OF

This was an action to recover possession of a building.
The defendants arc tenants of a building called the Bury
Workhouse, and their notice to quit having expired the
plaintiff sought to eject them. The case was heard a fort-
night ago. The real objection of the defendants is. that
they have laid out large sums of money in rendering the
building suitable for the purpose of a workhouse, and in im-
proving it, but the legal mid technical objection taken by
counsel at the last sitting was informality in service of no-
tice, the overseers not being the occupants. The decision
was postponed to yesterday.
Ili Honour (Mr. J. S. r. Greene) said on the applica-
tion for a warrant to take possession of a building at Bury,
the law was elaborately discussed at the last sitting of the
court. Ile should pass over the objections to jurisdiction
' and go at once to the main question, which he thought
was disposed of by the 9 & 10 Vie., c. 9.i, it. 122.
On the construction of that section he was of opinion that
there had nut been in this instance the requlsite summons.
The word " person " in that clause was really equivalent to
occupier, whether the inuutsliate tenant ur sub- tenant ; and!
as a summons, according to that interpretation of the clause,
must issue to doe ‘. person neglecting or refusio2 to deliver
up possession," it must issue to Bit: occupier. LAU summons
in this case, according to the evil was to the tenants.
The defendants were tenants to Lora Derby, there was a
full occupation by others. lie could nut, therefore, direct
a warrant of possession in this case.
Them was another summons by his lordship against the
board of guardians, as a means of obtaining possession, but
the hearing was postponed to suit the convenience of coun-
sel, for a fortnight. It is understood that his lordship's
! attorney, however, taking a hint from the tletision as against
I the overseers, will not attempt to sustain it, but take out a
new summons against the real occupants of the workhouse
—the master and schoolmaster.

SITTINGS AT Sin Pales AT GUILDHALL. EMU Loan
CAMPUI.L AHD A Special. JUST.
WHITHOHE r. SCHNEIDZIL AND OTHERS.—ACTION BY
AN OITICIAL ARLHONEE TO RECOVER THE VALUE AL-
LEGED TO HAVE. BEEN FRAUDULENTLY DELIVERED BY
• PARTY IN CONTEMPLATION OP BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. Greenwood, Q.C., and Mr.
Bovill were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson,
Q.C., Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Pitt 'faylor represented the
defendants.
This was an action brought by the official assignee of a
Mr. Benjamin Smith, a bankrupt, now deceased, against
the defendants, who were large copper merchants, to recover
the value of some copper, which It was contended had been
delivered in contemplation of bankruptcy, and to give a
fraudulent preference to the defendants over Smith's
other creditors. It appeared that a portion of the
copper had been first delivered on the 26th of February,
1849, and the delivery terminated on the 4th of March.
The fiat was issued on the 9th of March. Before
this time Mr. Smith had become very ill and could
nut in any way interfere in his businets. His bon
then undertook to conduct the business, and deemed
it advi•able to take the opinion of Mr. Maynard,
a solicitor, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard.
Mr. Maynard gave it as his opinion that Mr. Smith, ern.,
should be made a bankrupt, and a fiat was therefore issued.
The defendants now contended that there had been no
fraudulent delivery of the goods, as they had merely been
sent in under a contract of the 12th of February. The
copper had been paid for, and when it was delivered no
bankruptcy was contemplated, because young Mr. Smith
believed that his father's affairs could have been settled
without bankruptcy, and that he was in a state of solvency.
Lord Campbell then summed up, and said the point
which the jury had to decide was whether, when the copper
was sent to Messrs. Schneider and Company, it was in con-
templation of bankruptcy, or merely in pursuance of the
terms of the contract existing between the parties.
The jury then retired, and after an absence of nearly
three quarters of an hour returned into court with a verdict
for the defendants.

demanded 3ft. for costs, which were, in January, 1849,
reduced on taxation to 141. Its. 3d. The plaintiff, who had
then recently been married, had taken berths for himself
and his wife for Port Natal, on the 21st of November, when

IN RE JAMES WGILL.—BILL TRANSACTIONS.
This insolvent, who applied under the Protection Act,
was opposed by Mr. Birnie, as counsel for two creditor..
He was discharged under the Prisoners' Act in 1829, and
was a bankrupt in 1849, when he obtained his certificate.
He was a trader, and the debts under the first insolvency
were about 3,0001.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips thought he had no jurisdiction
to entertain the case in consequence of the former petition,
as the debts exceeded 3001.
A poiut was started, whether the certificate in bankruptcy
was a bar to all the former debts, and
Mr. Duncan, barrister, who attended in another cast,
said, in answer to the court, that the certificate was a dis-
charge to the former debts.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips considered that the point re-
quired consideration before he dismissed the petition, and
the case had better proceed.
The complaint was that the insolvent and a person named
Burridge had manufactured some bills of exchange, as both
were in the want of money. Burridge had himself taken
the benefit of the act.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips sent for Burridge's schedule,
and found a number of bills between him and the insolvent.
Mr. Birnie said there had been reckless conduct by the
insolvent.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips held that debts had been con-
tracted without reasonable expectations of payment, and he
. had no jurisdiction to appoint a sitting for the final order.
The ease was adjourned without protection.

BOW STREET.
CATTION TO ONNIIIVR CONIWCTORO.—/MOitl Webb, a
conductor to one of the Pimlico omnibuses, was sum-
moned, at the instance of Mr. Wray, the Metropolitan
Police Receiver, with having carried more passengers in his
omnibus than he was licensed for, on the afternoon of
Thursday week last.
The defendant pleaded guilty, and
Mr. Wray said he was induced to institute these proceed-
ings in consequence of the defendant having admitted into
his omnibus a boy who was suffering from small pox. The
boy sat upon his mother's lap, and he made fourteen per-
sons in the vehicle, which exceeded the number the de-
fendant was licensed to carry.
Mr. Jardine admonished the defendant for allowing chil-
dren who were suffering front a dangerous and loathsome
disease to enter his omnibus, and said he was liable to a
heavy penalty for carrying more than his usual number of
passengers. He fined the defendant 10s. and costs, or ten
days' imprisonment.—The tine was paid.

CLERKENWELL.
THIEVES AT Wuwa.—Two dirty-looking fellows, in-
mates of the " Kitchen," in Fox-court, Gray's-inn-lane,
were charged by Sergeant Archer and Fisher, G division,
with unlawfully melting pewter pots.
It appeared from the evidence of the officers that on
Saturday night last they had occasion to go to the
"Kitchen," in Fox-court, Gray's-inn-lane, to look after a
thief, and on entering the place they found the prisoners
before a large tire, on which was an iron pot containing
melted pewter. Hookes, who had hold of the handle of the
pot, called out, " Here comes Fisher and Archer,
throw it over them." They (the officers) seized the pot and
secured the prisoners. The first, Hookes, denied having
any knowledge of melting pewter.
Fisher said the prisoner was a notorious housebreaker,
and last sessions he was at the Old Bailey, dressed up in
order to give two notorious thieves, who had been convicted
and sentenced to transportation, a good character.
Jordan denied being a thief; he went to the Kitchen
merely as a lodger.
He was discharged by Mr. Combc; who sentenced
Hooke* to the House of Correction for three months, with
hard labour.

SPAIN.

An occasional correspondent a-rites to us as follow"
from Madrid, under date of the 15th instant :

The following incident illustrates forcibly the amount of
civilisation in the Spanish capital. Madame Frextolini
received the intelligence of her father's death last week, on
the day upon which she was engaged to appear as
Deademona, in the opera of " Ottllo." Will it be believed
that, notwithstanding the pressing solicitation made by the
singer that she might be excused from appearing on the
stage under circumstances so afflicting, Madame Fres:cilia
was menaced with the forfeiture of her contract unless she
complied strictly with her engagement ? Will it be believed
that the subject+ of her moat Christian Majestycould sit out
an opera in which the prime donna was forced to sing on
the same day on which she received the news of her father's
death ? The audience had not the excuse of ignorance, be-
cause they applauded their victim at momenta when she
seemed unable from grief to go on with her part. Such IA
exhibition turns a theatre into a bull-circus !

cabin windows of the Lord of the Isles. Me immediately
gave the alarm, and by the exertions of the inhabitants of
the place the fire was got out, but neither of the prisoners,
though informed of the lire, got up or gave the slightest
assistance. This, and some conversations which they had
had of a suspicious character with other persons, was all the
evidence affecting them. The vessel was afterwards
examined by experienced persons from Liverpool, who gave
it so their opinion that she had been set on fire wilfully.
At the close of the learned counsel's opening,
Serjesnt Murphy, for the prisoners, asked his lord-
ship's opinion whether there was any case for the jury
against the prisoners beyond suspicion ?
Ills lordship being of opinion that there was not,
The learned counsel fur the prosecution said he could
carry the ease no further, and would nut, therefore, per-
severe with it.
The prisoners were thereupon Arquitted.
This case concluded the criminal bindings, the assizes ter-
minating about six o'ctock.

..... .......
Anise or Pentic SYMl'VrtlY.—ltatina Herbert, a,
nempstress, who was charged in the autumn of last year
with pawning some articles entrusted to her to be made up,
and whose statements as to the under payment of needle-
women and the exigencies to which her husband's illness
and want of employment had driven her, created so much
sympathy with the benevolent, that upwards of 44/. were
forwarded for her relief, was yesterday charged with illegally
pawning six linen blouses, valued at 275., which were en-
trusted to her for making up by Elizabeth Mercer, a poor
widow, residing in Storey-street, Stepney.
Mr. Yardley said the case was a very bail one, and the
prisoner's appearance is the dock showed that her condition
had nothing in it to palliate. When her story of her sick
husband and starving children first appeared in the
journals, public bounty flowed in with so liberal a hand that
the magistrate refused to become the recipient of donations
for one whose immediate source of sympathy was the c orn-
, mission of crime too common amongst her class, and further
inquiry showed that it was an offence of which she had
been previously guilty. The consequence was that the ma- I
Igistrates withheld the monies advanced for her giving the
donors a month to reclaim the amounts, and in The event of
no reclamation, devoting the sums to the general poor box.
Notwithstanding this, however, her statements were so
plausible, that she received upwards of 201. through various
channels ; and notwithstanding the benevolent sympathy
exhibited in her behalf, she repeated the practices on the
poor widow who was the complainant on the present ocea-1
sion. It was an exceedingly bad ease, and he (Mr.
Yardley) hoped it would teach the public not to be too
ready in sympathising with crime where objects could be
found more worthy of their sensibilities. lie would be the
last to check the effusions of kindness ; but the prisoner had
shown herself entirely unworthy of the sympathies which
she had excited ; she appeared disposed to trade upon the
humanity of the public, but she would find herself mis-
taken. One who so frequently transgressed in this manner
most not escape the punishment which such an offence
deserved, and he should inflict upon her the heaviest penalty
that the law permitted. She had not shown any contrite
disposition, by telling where the articles had been pawned,
so as to enable him to order them to he delivered up to the
poor woman who would now be at the loss, hut maintained
a dogged silence throughout. She must therefore pay 275.,
the amount of the property pawned, together with a fine
of 51. Sur the illegal pawning, or be imprisoned for two
calendar months.
The prisoner, who exhibited a very callous demeanour
throughout, was locked up in default.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS.

Sta,—}laving arrived in London from Scotland,
and baring occasion to call at Doctors Commons to
sec a friend, I was greatly surprised at being
accosted by some men wearing white aprons, and
having generally the appearance of porters, but who
1 have since diseovered arc called touters. Being a
stranger in London, I was necessitated to inquire the
whereabouts of the firm by whom my friend was em-
ployed. by which means I was brought in contact
wit), this most disgraceful nuisance tiS the profession.
Having stated the office I required to one of these
men (presuming him to be a porter', who stated he
would show me the place I inquired for, he misled
me to the office of a person in Carter-lane, who en-
courages these touters. where I underwent a strict
examination as to whether I wanted a marriage
license or not, or what other business I had in Doc-
tors Commons: and after having, by dint of great
exertion, satisfied them that I did not consider their
assistance necessary, I was then very readily shown
the office that I required. It is much to be regretted
that these gentlemen of the proctorial profession to
which I allude, should encourage such a disgraceful
imposition and annoyance on the public. as they not
only practise a principle of extortion on their unsus-
pecting victims. but brand with infamy and shame
• the credit of a profession of the highest respectabi-
lity. I have since been informed that the policemen
are also encouraged to impose on the public in this
way, and I trust. therefore, that this intimation will
. I attract the attention of the proper authorities, who
will, I ant sure, adapt some means to suppress this
most disgraceful proceeding.
I beg to solicit the favour of your inserting this in
your paper, trusting it will be a caution to the public
generally. I am. Sir, yours, &c.,

case, commenting strongly upon the conduct of the defen-

position which enabled him to afford to pay, and this aggra-

This was an action to recover 10,0001., the amount of the
defendant's bills of exchange, passed in 1847 to Messrs.
Bolklow and. Vaughan for railway iron. It appeared the
defendant was anxious to raise a sum of money prior to the
election of Ipswich, and with a view of doing so, he cutert
into a contract with !dews. Bolklow and Vaughan for
8,000 tons of iron, at 91. 10s. per ton. Iron fell shortly at-
terwards in the market, and the bills had been given as a
deposit of 21. per ton. The bills, with various other securi-
ties, were handed over to the plaintiff., who paid the Dar-
lington Bank (Messrs. 11.,ekhouse) 9,063/., the former re-
ceiving all securities, including the bills in question, from
the bank. The principal question raised to-day was whether
the bills had not been obtained from the defendant by fraud
and coyin. The case occupied, the court from 10 o'clock
a.m. till near 7 o'clock.
The jury found for the defendant on the substantial
