St:TIMIS AT Nuti

31 a. DAWN MAIMS; AND StACIAL

WOLAEY r. DAVILELL.-ACTION l'rOX AN I 0 I: FOIL
ONE HUNDRED FOUNII3.

Mr. &rjoust /4,11,r and Mr. IL Milier were c:unsel for
the ; and Mr. M. Climbers, Q.C., represented the
defendant.

This was an action brought upon an I 0 1: for 10)!.,
which it was alleged the defendant hail given to the
plaintiff.
Serjeant 3liller, in stating the case to the jury, said
that the plaintiff carried on the business of an estate and
house agent in Oxford-street. liar father was a very re-'
spectable man, and a shipbuilder in Dorset*hire. It had
been the good, or rather the bad, fortune of the plaintiff to
come into possession at a very esi:y period of life of no less
a sum than 10,0001., which had been bequeathed to Lim by ;
his maternal grandfather. Like many young men in a
similar position, he treated this valuable bequest a► bang
inexhaustible, said, instead of following his father's busi-
ness, he came up to London, and lived in a style quite in-
consistent with his former mode of life. He there became
acquainted with young men of fashion, and amongst othen
with the defendant, who was an (Aker in the Dragoon
Guards. The plaintiff joined in the fashionable pleasures
and recreations of the metropolis, and of mute found the
means of disbursing some of his large fortune. The de-
(cadent was then in expectation of coming into a large
fortune, but bang in want of money he occa-
sionally borrowed various sums from the plain-
tiff, and the sum now sought to be recovered
was a balance of idol. due to the plaintiff After the
money had been lent, the defendant went abroad with his
regiment, and upon his return to England the plaintiff
applied to the defendant for payment. Mr. Dayrell ac-
knowledged the debt, and gave the plaintiff en I 0 C.
The defendant had now pleaded the statute of limitations,
viz., that the I 0 1.; was made more than six years ego.
He had also pleaded that it was not his I 0 U, or given

by his direction. lie (4r. Serjeant Miller) would how-
ever call the defendant into the witness-box, and trust to
his lioneur and veracity for a correct account of the
transaction. If it should be found that the document
was not in Ins handwriting, or that it had teen gisen
more than six years ago, the plaintiff would abide by the
to -ult. The learned serjeant concluded his svech by
stating that Mr. Dayrell's father was naw dead, and that
the defendant bad come into the possession of a consider-
able fortune.
Mr. Edward Darell, the defendant, was then caned,
and examined by Mr. Serjeant Miller. He said that be
was a gentleman of fortune, living in Buckinghamshire,
aml in Grosvenor-street. Ile was a captain in the 4th
Dragoon Guards. He did not know the handwriting to the
I 0 U now produced. Ile never gave an I0I; in his
HP., neither directly nor indirectly.
By Mr. Chambers—There was not one word of truth in
the statement made by Mr. Serjeant Miller. The name of
witness was wrongly :pelt in the I 0 U.
It examined by Mr. Scrjeant Miller—Witness had a
kin,man, who died last year, whose name was Edmund
Daveil, and witness believed that he had gone abroad
b.t.fore he died.
Mr. Scrjeant Miller—Under these circumstances, I feel
that I cannot proceed with the action.
Mr. Baron Martin—The document, I think, should be de-
tained in the possesion of the court.
Mr. Chambers—l am instructed to say that the opening
r statement of my learned friend tatally devoid of truth.
Mr. Scrjeant Miller said, as the ease was at an end, he
r protested against any obErvations being made about it.
Mr. Chambers—l think I gin justified in Rating that
t there is not the slight, st foundation for what the plaintiff
has instructed his counsel to say.
f Mr. Serjeant Miller—That is a statement, my lord, I
l must protest against. The facts appear to be, that the
r plaintiff has mistaken the real party.
Mr. Chambers—lf that is so, you aro slandering a dead
man.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited, and the I 0 U "
t handed over to the possession of the oflic.:r of the court.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
LIVERPOOL—TtEsDay.
MINSLAUGIITE::.

At the sitting of the cart this morning. ?tom (Verson
was indicted for the manslaughter of Joseph Young-
husband, at Manchester, on the 20th of September Lot.
The prisoner and deceased had been drinking together,
and a quarrel cawed about a wager of a sovereign, whi.
was put an end to for a time by the interferei.te of the
landlady. Soon afterwards, however, both parties left the
house, and the altercation was renewed; a fight ur scuffle
en-noel, a stone was thrown, the prisoner ran off to a
butcher's ahop, followed by the deceased and a :.umber of
other persons, when the prisoner drew his knife and stabbed
the deceased to the heart, causing almost instant death.
Mr. Wheeler, in an able address on behalf of tho prisoner,
contended that the blow was the result of en accident dar-
ing a time of great excitement, when the prisoner had jtrt
and t.,:tsonablu ground to apprehend that his life was in
dTie ere
deliberated for about ten minutes, and then re-
turned a verchet of Guilty of manslaughter under ex.
tent...ting circumstances.
The learned Judge inquired if they were agreed that the
prisoner meant to s.rike the deceased ?
The fermata replied in the affirmative, but stated that the
jury were desirous of recommending the prisoner to iaercy.
Sentence deferred.

„X number of cases of VTAenta.;;Ullwere disposed of.
I:osert ✓ones, a collector in the service of the eon,:
of Liverpool, was arraigned for embezzling the sant of •; rota
and upwards, the properly of lus employers, and 'lento:co
was de r zred until to-morrow.
Joh', button also pleadvd guilty to a charga of fr•zing
and uttering a cheque for 2hl. 95., purporting to have been

THE POLICE COURTS.
WORSHIP-STREET,

Robert 3faggs, a well-dressed youth, about 16 years of
age, was charged with having stolen a gold watch and enli.sr
valuable article*, the property of his employer, Mr. George
Jacobs, a jeweller, in Spit:it-square, and a man named
fee, ;ye Ricketts was charged with having feloniously re-
ceived the property, well-knowing the same to be stolen.
The prosecutor stated that the prisener Maggs had been
for swim time iu his service, and he had always entertained
the aunt favourable opinion of his integrity until Sature.ay
last, when he suddenly absconded front his situation. On
the prey ietes Weduesdey he had missed two silver medals
' from a writing desk in firs hack parlour,- and soon after the
prisoner lett he discovered that a gold watch, which he hod
deposited in a closet iu his dressiug-room, had also di.ap-
peered. Information et' the robbery was communicated to
the police, and on the preceding evening he succeeded in
tracing the prisoner to the house of one of his relatives
in the Borough, and a asking him what he had done
with the missing property, lie disclaimed all knowledge
of it, and earnestly deni. d that ho had had any participa-
tion in the robbery. lie thiin rvilliest,il the prisoner to
return with him to his house, which he readily did; and,
on pressing him further on their arrival, he faintly repeated
his demi o: the robbery, but ultimately west down upon
his kness and made a full confession of his guilt, fur which
he entreated his forgiveness. The prisoner proceeded to
state that lie hail stolen the silver medals at the instigation
of a lad of depraved character, with whom he had acciden-
tally become acquainted, and who told him that he could
take him to a place whet.: he could easily get rid of any
thing ho could lay his hands upon. lie was then con-
ducted by the lad to a am-ill shon near Shoreditch Church,
whore he exhibited the medals to a man behind the eouu-
ter, who declared that they were not silver, and refused
to allow him more than 2s. Cat for them. Ile consented to
take that amount ; and, on leaving the shop, was inv'ted
by the owner to bring hies more property, which he mid
he was prepared to purchase to the arr.aant of 1001. lie
accordingly availed himself of the first opportunity that
prescated itself to purloin the gold watch, which he also
conveyed to the shop, and sold it to the same nian for 353.
On that occasion another man was present, who invited him
to meet hiss on Monday night, when he would be provided
with a set of housebrcakine implements, and would present
him with U. if he would point out the place. where his
master's valuables were deposited. On hearing the above
statement, witness at once gave the prisoner Mages into
' custody, and afterwards obtained the assistance of a police-
: man, with whom he proceeded to a small bird shop near
Shoreditch, where lie found the other prisoner, who, in
coneequence of the disclosures that had been made to him,
was also secured, and conveyed to the station-house.
Police constable Donnoway, II 120, stated that on reach-
ing the station the prisoner Ricketts was confronted with
the lad hinges, who mince iilenteied him mono of the two
men who had incited him to rob his master, and subse-
quently received the stolen property.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner Ricketts positively
• asserted his innocence, and declared that the statement of
r the other was a pure fabrication.
Mr. Ilammill considered that there was not sufficient
evidence to justify the committal of Ricketts, and therefore
ordered him to be discharged; but the other prisoner was
• remanded for the depositions.
WANDSWORTH.
• -

Tho;nas Bards, a7als;;;;;;;;;;;;;I at the works for
constructing the bridge from Chelsea to the intended park
at Battersea, was charged with causing the death of Ed-
mund lizawn.
Prisoner and deceased, with several labourers, were
drinking on Sunday night at cue Duchess of York tap,
I when a violent quarrel arising deceased rose from the
corner in which he was quietly .itting, in order to e.cparate
the combatants. In the meA'e prisoner dealt him several
violent blows about the head and face. Deceased complained
of pain, and said his jaw was broken. Ile went home to
bed, and died at 4 next morning.
No post:morn:at examination nor inquest had been held,
the pruoner was, therefore, remanded.

THE MtUDER IN Su!

examination and remand on Monday of the four prisoners
in custody on suspicion of murdering George Bush, as re-
ported in yesterday's Express, Mr. Hughes, the chief of
the Bath police, became possessed of information which in-
duced him, together with Inspectors Drake and Brown, to
proceed at once to Farmberough, a village about two
miles from Priston, where the murder was com-
mitted. They there succeeded in apprehending a young
man named James Evans, a butcher, who was
brought into Bath, and yesterday (Tuesday) taken before
the county magistrates for txamination. Mr. Slack, solidi.,
tor, attended to watch the case for the prisoner. The in-
vestigation lasted until five o'clock, and several witnesses
were examined. The circumstances bearing against the

prisoner as deposed to by them were, that on Monday, the
day of the murder, he was at the sale at Priston, after
which he was drinking at the Ring of Bella public-house,
in the mine village, in company with the deceased and an-
other man named Ricketts. 'They were drinking together,
and between 7 and 5 o'clock, Bush, the deceased, having
shortly before disappeared. Evans, the prisoner, called to
the landlady to know the reckoning. lie then discovered
that Bush bad not paid his share, and was heard to any to
Ricketts that he (Bush) must be a d—d mean fellow, and
I that he ought to have his head chopped off. lie also said
that he should like to do it, too. Ricketts told him to hush
up; but directly afterwards they left together;
and after being away about twenty minutes they returned,
and called for another pint of beer. Evans had before
paid Bush's share. On their return they seemed " fidgetty,"
I especially the prisoner Evans, who expressed a wish to go
home, and asked a man named Pen,' to accompany him.
Ricketts asked bins if he was fidgetty, to which Evans re-
plied, "No, I'm d—d if 1 be." Evans, Ricketts, and
Perry soon afterwards left the house together. After their
return, Evans also took u quantity of silver from his pocket
and counted it. Ou being apprehended, half a sovereign
and some silver was found upon him, and also en instru-
ment called a phlcm, used for bleeding cattle. Blood was
also found on his clothes, but being a butcher, of course
that circumstance does not affect him so much as it would
persons of different avocations. The prisoner was re-
mended till Friday, Mr. Hughes observing that he bad
other information which he was not at present prepared to
lay before the magistrates in the shape of evidence. Mr.
Shia applied that the prisoner might be admitted to bail,
but the magistrates declined to grant the application.
Tai SPECIE brought home by the Leo, mail:
packet, on Monday, from the West Indies and the Gulf
of Mexico, was despatched from Southampton to London
last night, in 10 railway waggons. It amounted in the
whole to nearly 2,000,000 dolian in gold and silver.

COTTON —LIVERPOOL, Dec. 9.—The market to-day
has been rather fiat, and closes heavily compared with
Friday's rates. Prices of American arc a point easier,
though barely ed. per lb.; Surat the rime ; other sorts
nominally without change. The sales are eitimsted at 4,000
bales, 1,009 of which were taken on speculation, and include
100 Pernam and lilaranham,so. to 6id. ;lid Egyptian, 6d.
to 9d.; 690 Surat, 31. to 311 In port sitacz Thursday,
30,000 bales.
MAX(IIEiTER, DEC. 9.—Merchants and manufacturers
on the exchange assumed a little more calmness, and we
thought there was a partial recovery of confidence. The
absence of news from France of more bloodshed led many
parties to hope that the worst was over, and to imagine that
it was possible the Preside rat might consolidate his power.
It must be confessed, however, that a very little conversa-
tion with any of them showed that they had great misgivings
of any such settlement of the French question being
permanent. On all hands a deep-felt horror pre-
vails of the man who is now the muter of that
great country, and of the means by which he has accom-
plished his usurpation of power. The buyers for export to
the continent, however, have bought to some extent, and
though their orders have been small, the ma7lect 4110i0d
an improvement on the panic-stricken state of things exist-
ing last week. The home trade houses are doing a fair
business; :mil water twist, owing to the rise ,if cotton in the
United States—a rise based on the slowness with which the
new crop comes forward, and not on any expectation that
prices can b.: long bolsteredup with such an innnense crop
as is now everywhere admitted to have been gathered—is a
shade firmer. Cloth is also very firm. India numbers of
mute yarn, however, are but in small reque,t, and prices
are w :Aker. Thz ace ,ant given by a home in tbo trade is
as follows: "Since Tuesday last see have had a very flat
market, owing partly to the French ilis•urbances, and
partly to the unfivourahle accounts front ; but, owing
to the harness of smies, prices are with some few slight
executions el achangc A. To-clay there is a better Iceling in
the market, with rather more business doing for the home
trade."
