BAIL COURT.—Now. 30.
Sittings at Nisi Priim.—(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and
a Common Jury.)
GARDNIS V. WRIGHT.
Thk was an action by a civil engineer cartying on busi-
ness in S. George's-road, Southwark, against the defen-
dant, who is also a civil engineer and patent agent in
Copthall-court, Throgmorton-street, to recover damages
for the alleged ne,digenoe of the defendant in not sending
out a petition to India in time to procure an extension to
that country of letters patent obtained by the plaintiff
in England for an invention for improvements in the
manufacture of textile fabrics.
Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Butler Rigby for
the plaintiff ; Mr. James, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, WI, and
Mr. Thomas Jones, Q.C., for the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff
had fur many years, whilst a resident in India,
devoted his attention to the importance of utilising
an Indian fibre called rheea, and succeeded in
inventing an ingenious machine, consisting of a series of
fluted rollers, for the preparation of that and other fibres
of a similar description. On the Bth November, 1862. he
obtained, through the defendant, letters patent in this
country for his machine; and by a local Indian act
patentees have the privilege within twelve months of the
date of their English patent to register it in India by
presenting a petition to the Governor-General, accompa-
nied by the necessary documents, and thereby they en-
joyed there the same rights as they possessed in England.
In June, 1862, the plaintiff gave the defendant instruc-
tions to secure the Indian patent, but the matter was not
pressed forward at the time in consequence of negotia-
tions pending between the plaintiff and Messrs. Hender-
son and Company, of Mincing-lane, for the purchase of the
pleintirs interest in the patent, with a view to working
it in India. On the sth September. 186:1, those negotia-
tions were completed, and the plaintiff was to receive
from Messrs. Henderson 900 rupees per month to superin-
tend the working of the patent. On the following day the
plaintiff wrote to the defendant to proceed with all despatch
in forwarding the papers to India, and it was admitted that
if they had been sent via Marseilles on the 20th of Sep-
tember, they would have reached India in time for regis-
tration. The defendant denied that the delay arose in
consequence of any negligence on his part, and said that it
wsa entirely caused by the plaintiff omitting to supply
him, according to promise, with the necessary funds.
On the other hand, the plaintiff alleged that he had made
no such promise. Afterwards Messrs. Henderson declined
to carry out their agreement, on the ground that the plain-
tiff was not the inventor, and as he was prevented pro-
ceeding against them in consequence of the non-re-
gistration, owing to the papers not reaching India
within the twelve months, he now claimed special
damages on that ground. The learned judge ruled that
tbo plaintiff was not entitled to recover on that head. It
appeared that as the plaintiff was unable to raise 501. at
the end of the third year, by reason of his losing the
Indian patent, he was unable to renew his patent in this
country.
Mr. Justice Blackburn left it to the jury to say what
damages they considered the plaintiff was entitled to over
and above the rd. actually expended in transmitting the
papers to India.
The jury, after having been locked up half an hour,
returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff-
- --vein 1,5001.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 30.
Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Mr. Baron Martin and
a Common Jury.)
BEVAN E. LORI) NEWRY.
This was an action to recover 150/. upon a cheque for
that amount which had been dishonoured. The defendant
pleaded infancy, and also that the cheque was given for
money won by gambling.
Mr. Roeber appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Huddleston,
Q.C., and Mr. J. 0. Griffith, for the defendant.
The issue being with the defendant,
Mr. Huddleston opened his case first. He said the jury
would doubtless be of opinion that Lord Newry had shown
proper courage in coming into court to expose and defeat
this action the object of which was extortion. Lord Newry
was the grandson and heir of Lord Kilmorey, an Irish peer,
and about twenty-three years of age. In IShl, when he was
eighteen or nineteen, he happened to be at Brighton, and
being very fond of the game of tennis, went to a
tennis court, kept by a person named Tomkins,
in that town. He was there introduced by Tonikins' son to
the plaintiff, who told him that be was the son of Mr.
Bevan, the Brighton banker, but he had rno clai to
that relationship. They played togethe ,awnetimesm for
small and at other times fur large sums, and Lord Newry
being apparently more skilful than Bevan won a consider-
able amount of money. Bevan then auggeved that they
should play double sets, that he should take young Tom-
kins for a partner, and that Lord Newry should. have the
marker. Lord Newry consented, but the marker continu-
ally missed the ball at the critical junctures, and after
conriderable play his lordship was told that he had lost
150/. He gave R cheque for the amount, and was
told that he might recover back the money by play on a
future occasion. Accordingly, Lord Newry, on a subse-
quent day, joined Bevan at the same place, and iron a
very large sum beyond the 150/., but the cheque was not
returned to him nor did he receive any money. Bevan
suggested that as his lordship was a greater proficient at
tennis than himself be should be allowed to have his
revenge at billiards. They retired to a billiard-room, and
after the door bad been locked they commenced playing,
Lord Newry being freely supplied with brandy and water
and other stimulants. The moult was an intimation to
his lordship that he had lost 2,0001. He was astonished
at this, and, upon reflection, and believing that unfair
practices had been resorted to, he communicated with
his guardians and solicitors, and the cheque was
ordered to ha stopped. A claim for the money
was made by Messrs. Chantler and Crouch, as solicitors for
Bevan, but Lord Newry's solicitors explained to them the
nature of the transaction, and nothing more took place
until the other day, when this action was brought, in the
hope, probably, that his lordship would not brave exposure
in a public court.
The Countess of Newry the Ent witness called, said
she was the widow of the late Lord Newry, and the mother
of the defendant. A certificate of the defendant's birth
having been placed in her ladyships band, she said it was
correct, and that her son was horn on the 2nd August. IM-12.
The cheque was dated the 29th June, 1061, and Lord
Newry did not come of age until ISh3.
Mr. Baron Martin said this evidence was conclusive of
the case.
Mr. Rosher—lf the defendant intends to shelter himself
under the plea of infancy, of course I c nnot dispute the
evidence which has been given on that subject.
Lord Newry. examined by Mr. Huddleston—l began
playing tennis about two months before June, 1861. It
was young Tomkins who introduced me to Bevan, who, he
said, was a banker at Brighton. I first played with him
for about two hours at single sets, and was considerably
the winner. When I played double set, the marker, who
was my partner, invariably missed a ball when the winning
stroke fell to his lot. Bevan said that I was so much
better a player at tennis than he was that I ought to give
him his revenge. Being inexperienced at billiards, I went
to the billiard room only with the object of getting back
the 150/. I did not look for the rest I had won. My ser-
vant came to the room but found the door locked and
could not get in. They gave me brandy and water and
brandy and soda.
Mr. Baron Martin said this evidence had nothing to do
with the matter of the cheque.
Lord Newry said I left Brighton on Sunday, and after
consulting my guardians and solicitors, was able to have
the cheque stopped on blonilay morning. I did this in
consequence of what took place in the billiard-room. If I
bad not gone into the billiard-room I should have allowed
the cheque to be paid.
Cross-examined by Mr. Kosher—Towards the end of the
time I played with Bevan I gave him points. I did not
observe anything unfair during the time I played with
him in the single sets. I did not detect anything unfair
on his part. After the first day's play be proposed I
should play with him again at Brighton, or the Princes
Club in London. I said Brighton would do as well, as I
should come back there. We played for so much a game.
I played five or seven seta. A great many games make a
set, and the money was chiefly staked on the sets, but
exnetintes on the games. My solicitor and my guardians
advised rue not to honour the cheque.
Mr. Hostler admitted that he could not withstand the
plea of infancy, and therefore he would not proceed with
2 the case further.
ly Under his lord,hip's direction,
nod The jury found a verdict substantially for the defendant.

EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1866.

period of leaving the second clerk, and taking the bill to
the cashier, he contrived to alter the invoice, and in-
creased the amounts from a few shillings to a considerable
sum; by placing a number of pounds before the shillings.
By these means he obtained 161. on the 27th of November,
by altering a bill for 16s. tol6L Ms., and on thefith be made
a similar attempt with a bill for ten shillings, which he
altered to 101. 10s., and he would probably have succeeded
on the second occasion if the figures had not been altered
in a very bungling manner. This excited the suspicion of
the cashier, and he made inquiries, which led to the dis-
oovery of the fraud that bad been committed on the pre-
vious occasion.
Evidence was then adduced, by which it appeared that,
on the 27th of November, the prisoner went to the ware-
house of Messrs. Leaf, with four gross of cap-sps, the
price of which was lfis., and he handed in his goods. and
also an invoice for the amount. The clerk pat his initials
to this invoice, and gave it to the prisoner, who took it to
the second clerk, who also put his initials to it, and gave
it back. The prisoner shortly afterwards presented him-
self to the cashier, and handed in the invoice for payment,
but instead of the charge being for four gross of springs,
this item had been altered to eighty-four gross, the amount
to be paid for that quantity being 161. ltis. No suspicion
it appeared was entertained at this time, and the prisoner
was paid the sum mentioned in the invoice, less the dis-
count. On Thursday last the prisoner again went to the
warehouse, the goods actually taken by him on this occa-
sion being five gross of springs at two shillings per gross,
and be produced an invoice bearing the current quantity
of goods, and the proper amount to be paid, namely, ten
shillings. The clerk put his initials to the invoice as being
correct, and the prisoner between that period and going to
the cashier managed to alter the invoice so as to make it
appear that 103 gross of springs bad been delivered, and
that there was an amount of 101. 10s. to be paid instead of
ten shillings.
Alderman Finnia inquired whether any other cases of a
similar kind had been discovered'
Mr. Jones held up a number of invoices, and said that
although there had not been time to institute an inquiry
a cursory examination of the invoices delivered by the
prisoner during the last two months, revealed the fact
that in every one of those he held in his hand, the
the amounts had been falsified. The bills were mostly
for a few shillings, and in some instances the figures
12, in others 15, in others 13, and so on, bad been
placed before the shillings, and the prosecutors had been
defrauded by this means to a very considerable extent.
When the prisoner was taken into custody he made use of
the expression, " That they might look back for years."
Alderman Finnic inquired to what amount the frauds
already discovered extended.
Mr. Jones replied that during the months of September
and October, and down to the time when the discovery
was made, the prisoner appeared to have defrauded the
Irosecutors in the way he had mentioned to the extent of

1501.
The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate for
trial.

BOW-STREET.
Henry Nye, a ret-office letter carrier and sorter, em-
plo)ed in the It extern district office, was charged with
having in his possession • quantity of property, alleged to
have been stolen from letters passing into his hands in the
course of his duty.
Rumbold, one of the police officers attached to the post-
office, stated that on Friday, acting upon information he
had received, he went to the Western district office,
searched the prisoner, and found upon him a purse con-
taining a 2W. note, a IW. note, 61. 10s. in gold, four watch
cases, a locket containing three small dice, a silver watch
marked "Louisa, from J." and some other articles. He
afterwards searched the prisoner's lodgings, where he
found a very peculiar clasp knife with four blades, and gold
fitti ago, marked " 5.L.5.," a watch-maker's name Redwood,
Camden-town, anotherwatch wanting a face, a gold pencil.
case, and several gold stud rings, kc., 15 onset crystals,
and one pound in postage stamps. The prisoner told him
that he had bought the various articles or received them in
exchange for other property, from several persons, some of
whose names he mentioned ; but in no case did he know
the address. He said that he was a general dealer, and
bought almost anything. He also said that he had been
fortunate in his dealings, and had made money, and had
lately drawn 30/. from the bank.
Mr. Sampson Lucas Samorulle proved that he had been
expecting a knife similar to that produced and marked
with his initials, from Sheffield, but had not received it.
Mr. Peacock, who appeared for the Post-office, applied
for a remand, to produce the sender of the knife from
Sheffield, whose complaint of its non-delivery had led to
the discovery.
Mr. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, who defended,
applied for the prisoner's admission to bail, but
Mr. Vaughan refused to take bail, and remanded the
prisoner in custody.

PROM L.

Yesterday being St. Andrew's-day the friends
and supporters of the Scottish Hospital celebrated their
204th anniversary festival by dining together at the Free-
masons' Tavern ; Lieut,-Colonel LorD LINDSAY presided,
and was supported by Lord Elcho, BLP., and among the
guests were the delegates from the British American pro-
vinces now in London for the purpose of promoting the
confederation scheme, namely, Mr. M. A. Henry end Mr.
J. Ritchie, from Nova Scotia ; Mr. P. Mitchell and Mr. C.
Fisher, from New Brunswick ; end the Hun. Mr. Home
and the Hon. W. Hammond, both high officials of the pre-
sent government of New Brunswick.
METKOPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. —The weekly
meeting of the board took place yesterday ; Sir John
Thwaites in the chair. Mr. Shaw said ho had received a
communication from the vestry of Marylebone' desiring
him to draw the attention of the board to the fact, and
to inquire if it had any power to prevent the erection of
buildings on Hampstead-heath, for which leases of twenty-
one years were now being granted. The chairman said
this was a very difficult question to answer. He should
be sorry to say that the board had no power to interfere,
but it was a question for the solicitor to answer. The
solicitor said that a number of gentlemen had waited upon
him in reference to this subject, and he was clearly of
opinion that, directly, this board had no power to inter-
fere. There had, however, been a recent act of parlia-
ment passed which would permit an application to be
made to the Court of Chancery, and whether or not,
under that act, this board hail power to interfere it would
at that moment be unbecoming in him to answer such a
question. A report was brought up from the Works and
General Purposes Committee detailing the steps taken for
the purchase of property for the southern embankutert of
the Thames, and recommending that cheques should he
drawn in payment of certain properties. The recommen-
dations were agreed to. After some other business, the
board adjourned.
Sig W. BOVILL AND HIS LATE CONSTITUENTS.
—Yesterday afternoon Sir William Bovill, the new
Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas,
issued the following farewell address to his late parliamen-
tary constituents, the electors of the borough of Guildford:
Gentlemen,—Her Majesty having b-en graciously
pleased to appoint me Lord Chief Justice of the Court of
Common Pleas, I have taken irponmyself the duties of that
high office, and thereby vacated the seat in parliament
which I have had the honour to hold as one of your repre-
senratives. I beg to offer my warmest thanks to all my
friends at Guildford for the hearty support which you have
invariably given me, and I shall ever remember with satis-
faction and with gratitude the connexion which has so long
and so agreeably subsisted between us. I have endeavoured
faithfraby to discharge the trust which you were good
enough to repose in me, and I fully appreciate the kind-
ness and good feeling which havebeen 60 generally, and even
by many political opponents, extended towards me. With
my best wishes for the continued prosperity of the town
and the welfare of its inhabitants, in whom I shall always
feel a deep interest, I have the honour to remsim, yours,
yen faithfully, (Signed) Wx. Borrid., Worplesdon Lodge,
30th Nevember, 1804 i."
MORE RELICS OF THE. FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.—
The steam-whaling bark Pioneer, from the northern seas,
which arrived at New London, Connecticut, on the 15th
ult., fell in with Mr. C'. F. Hall, the Arctic explorer, at
the head of Repulse Bay, north of Rowe's Welcome, on
the 2fith of July last. Mr. Hall and his party of Esqui-
maux were all in good health, engaged in fishing. His
faithful adherents, Joe and Hannah, with some ten other
natives, form his family or troupe. He had at that time
no white man in his company. Mr. Hall was much
affected again to meet familiar faces and hear news from
home. He had passed the winter very comfortably, being
thoroughly inured to the Esquimaux mode of life, and
having with his resources secured ample supplies of food
at this station ; he had killed one whale last fall, and
another this summer, while just inland deer were found
in the greatest abundance. He had established a great
many depots of provisions extending far into the interior,
to be used in case of necessity. Mr. Hall has secured •
great many relics of the survivors of the Frank'in Ex-
ploring Expedition, together with some important docu-
ments which he believes to have been penned by Captain
Crozier, and has information of the location of others,
which he is determined to obtain. The captain of the
Pioneer furnished Mr. Hall with such things as he needed
from his sh p, and states that two or three American
whaling vessels will winter at Repulse Bay this season.
ACCIDENT TO THE BRAZILIAN MAIL STEAMER
RHoNE.—The Brazilian mail steamer Rhone, which has
just arrived home, struck on a rock or a sunken wreck just
outside Bahia, which is not laid down in the Admirelty
charts. The concussion tore holes near the bow of the
packet two feet in diameter, and men who slept forward
were thrown violently out of their berths by the shock. An
ordinary ship would have sunk, but the Rhone having
water-tight compartments, the collision did no damage.
She shipped about eight tons of water forward by leakage,
yet she made a splendid run homeward. A great many
persons on board did not, until told of it, know that any
accident had happeued.
GREAT STORY AT BUENOS AYRIA.—BVENOB
AIRES, Ocr. 30.—A severe storm raged here on the 28th
and 29th inst., causing great loss of property and lives.
The British packet Arno could not leave for two days.
Many vessels were beached and sunk, the saluting battery
was destroyed, and the pasaeßger-wharf was partly washad
away. The gas works were invaded by the water, and the
city was in consequenos in complete darkness. The city
suffered severely. The British barque Urgentwu wrecked,
and British brigantine John Butler driven ashore. The
French barques Napoleon 111. and Marie Elise sank at
their anchors, and 7.3. of their crews perished. Two other
serials sank at their anohare—nanses naknown.
