COURT OF EXCHEQUER—Jars 10.
GAIDZIIIR 17. BIJIBKROZI.
This was en action for not indemnifying the plaintiff
against liability in shams which he had purchased for the
defendant.
Mr. Macnainara, Mr. Gates, and Mr. Lord were for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Henry James for the defendant.
The defence relied upon was that the defendant had
given the plaintiff the most positive instructions to close
his account for the risk, and that as the plaintiff had
afterwards held on, he most be taken to have done so at
his own risk. For the plaintiff it was said that instruc-
tions to close an account were equivalent to an expreasion
not to specula further, bat that discretion was left to
the plaintiff to do the beat he could for the defendant
and sell the shares within a reasonable time.
The learned Judge having summed up,
The fury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount
claimed.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
JULY 10.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

BOWES AND BKIPIWITH B. BRYAN AND WATTI AND OTMCRR.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C. and Dr. Tristram for the plaintiffs;
Dr. Spinks for the defendants.
In July last the testator, Captain John Andrew, late of
Harleston, near Northampton, died at the age of 39, as was
stwoited, from the effects of a life of intemperanoe. In
1861 he made a will disposing of his property, which
amounted to about 6,0001. ; but in May, 1865, he executed
another, to much the same purport, except that it gave
some additional legacies. This was drawn by Mr. Howes,
a solicitor, who had been a very old friend of the testator,
and the legal adviser of his family. There was no dispute
as to this instrument, but three days after miring it
the testator was alleged to have executed a codicil. The
Rev. Mr. Skipwith, to whose wife the deceased had left
his plate, said that he had drawn the document by the de-
sire of Captain Andrews, and that he had not in any way
suggested it to him. He also deposed that the testator
was perfectly sober when he performed the act attributed
to him. The attesting wit:awns were a charwoman
named Irons, and a postman named Nicholls ; but the
former said she did not see the will signed, and the latter
swore that the testator bad neither rived it nor was
capable of signing it, for be was belpleesly drunk at the time.
He also stated that the testator was almost continually
intoxicated in the May of last year, but this evidence was
flatly contradicted by two medical gentlemen.
Sir J. Wilde said the case was purely one of credibility,
and be did not believe the evidence of the attesting wit-
nesses. He should therefore pronounce for the will and
codicil.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

MME CIRCUIT. -HERTFORD, JULY 10.

The commission for the county of Herta was opened in
thit town yesterday, and so far as can yet be ascertained,
thelusiness is hicely to be very light. There are only a
few pticroners for trial, and the moat serious charge is
one against a servant girl of having attempted to mur-
der her mistress from a feeling of revenge at having been
dismissed from her service. The cause list will not be
issued until this (Wednesday) morning ; but it is expected
that very few causes will be entered. One heavy special
jury cause, that of the " Earl of Brownlow v. Smith,"
which arose out of an extraordinary act of disputed right
to some common land at Berkluunprteacl, it was thought
would have been set down for trial at these assizes, but it
appears that the parties were not ready, and the case will
therefore go over to the next spring amuses.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Recorder.)

After our report left yeesterday, in the case of Richard
Ormerod Potts, a gentlemanly-looking man, who was
stated to have been formerly an officer in the army,
and who surrendered to take his trial upon an
indictment which charged him with having unlaw-
fully obtained from William Gower Brakspear, • valuable
security, to wit, an acceptance to a bill of exchange for 2001.,
with intent to defraud,
Mr. Chambers, on behalf of the prisoner, argued that a
case like the meant was never contemplated by the statute
as coming within its provisions. The object of the act of
parliament, he said, was no doubt to punish persons who
fraudulently obtained possession of bills of exchange ;
but in the present case he reminded the jury that there
was nothing to show that any fraud was ever contemplated
by the prisoner, but, on the contrary, it was admitted by
the prosecutor himself that he had received 90/. through
the instrumentality of the prisoner. He then proceeded
to comment on the facts of the case as they had been
given in evidence, and concluded by • that the
prisoner ought not to be convicted upon the present
charge, and that the act of parliament was never intended
to apply to such a case.
For the defence a person named Lyon, who, it appeared,
formerly carried on business as a banker, 'under the firm of
Lyon, M'Kenrie, and Co., in the Poultry, and who was
described by Mr. Chambers as an adverse witness, was
examined, and his evidence appeared to be of rather an
extraordinary character. According to his evidence, the
prisoner had kept an account sit his bank, and was in the
habit of bringing bills to him to discount, and he took him
the 200/., and four bills for 1001. each, in the ordinary
course of business, to be discounted. So far as could be
gathered from the statement of the witness be charged
20/. as discount upon each 100/., and handed the proceeds
to the prisoner, and be seemed to wish it to be understood
that the difficulty had arisen owing to the prisoner having
neglected to hand over the money to the prosecutor. He
admitted that he had rediscounted all the bills, and that
he had received 563/. as the proceeds ; and also that the
prisoner had demanded the 2007. bill from him, and had
given him in custody for stealing it.
In cross-examination this witness said that he had
known the prisoner about twelve months, and always
knew Lim by the name of Potts. He opened an account
at witneas's bank, and it was probable that he obtained
credit by the discountingof abill. Although hehad obtained
565/. upon the bills, he said the prisoner owed him 6001.
He said he would swear that the 200/. bill was not placed
in his hands as collateral security for the payment of the
1001. bills.

Serjeant Ballantine (to the witness)—Now, Mr. Lyon, I
am sure you will be frank with me. (A laugh.) Were
not the Whole of the proceeds of the bills divided between
you and Potts!
Witness—Certainly not.
A police-constable was then examined, who proved that
when the witness Lyon was taken into custody upon the
charge of stealing the 2001. bill, while he was at the police-
station he attempted to cut his throat. The charge, it
appeared was ultimately abandoned.
Mr. Callister, a bill discounter, proved that he had
known the prisoner for souse time as a mining agent, and
that he had brought him bills to a considerable amount
for discount in the regular way of business during the last
two years. Jr. answer to a question put by Serjeant Bal-
lantine, the witness said that he always charged 40 or 50
per cent. interest.
Mr. Montagu Chambers, in summing up the defendant's
case, said that it was quite clear that the witness Lyon was
actuated by a hostile feeling towards the prisoner, but he
urged that he had substantially proved that the prisoner
had no fraudulent intention, but that he had really
honestly endeavoured to get the 200/. bill discounted.
Serjeant Ballautine then replied upon the whole case.

The Recorder, in summing ty,:, called the attention of
the jury to the terms of the statute, and said that the
question for them to decide was not whether the prose-
cutor had been defrauded, for of that fact there was no
doubt, as it was clear that bills of the value of 600/. had
been obtained from him, for which be only received 901. in
return, but whether the prisoner was proved to have in-
duced the prosecutor to put his name to the 20W. bill by
false and fraudulent pretences. He then called the atten-
tion of the jury to the evidence, and concluded by leaving
the case in their hands. _

The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of
- - _

The Recorder in passing sentence said he believed this
was the first occasion that the statute under which the
indictment had been framed had been put in force, and it
appeared to him that it was well it should be known that
frauds of the description of which the prisorer had been
convicted might be made the subject of criminal prosecu-
tion and punishment. He then said that, under all the
circumstances, he felt it his duty to inflict upon the pri-
soner the sentence of imprisonment and hard labour fur
eighteen months.

(Before Mr. Thomas Chambers, Common-Serjeant.)

William Mitchell, 30, described in the calendar as being
a cooper, and Montague Ambrose, 23, described as being a
photographer, were indicted for unlawfully obtaining by
false pretences a promissory note for the payment of 150 f.
and a poet-office order for 9/., with intent to defraud one
John Wood.
Mr. Serjeant Parry (specially retained), with Mr. Poland,
conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Ribton defended the
prisoner Ambrose. The other prisoner, Mitchell, was
without iirofesaional assistance.
The trial of this case occupied the attention of the court for
a considerable portion of the afternoon sitting. From the
circumstances as disclosed by the opening statement of the
learned counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence ad-
duced to support it, it appeared that the two prisoners, in
the month of November last, applied to the wife of a Mr.
Dorling, who keeps an oyster shop at No. 422, Easton-
road, for permission to have letters to Mr. F. T. Croftsre-
ceived at their house, agreeing to pay 2s. 6d. a week for the
accommodation. The arrangement entered into with Mrs.
Dorling was assented to by her husband, and between the
time which followed it and the period when the prisoners
were taken into custody numerous letters and newspapers
arrived, sometimes two or three a day, all of which were de-
livered to the primmer Ambrose, the other prisoner remaining
waiting outside the shop, Ambrose always paying the
woeidy stipend agreed upon. A place of pseudo business
being thus established, a series of advertisements
in many of the country newspapers, headed, Voanre7vd,
Money, Money," and offering advances to be made by
" The London and Imperial Credit and Advance Com-
pany," on easy teems, to merchants, fainton, traders, and

Alien, payable by instalments, extending to ten years.
Theadvertisement, which appmred, amongst others, in the
Halifax Onevabias, ended by the aanouncement that
applications were to be made by letter to Mr. F. T. Crofts,
at the °Mese of the company, No. 422, Elston-road, N.W.
Attracted by this era t, the preset:tutor of this in-
dictment, • butcher residing and carrying on business at
Halifax, wrote to the &direr already indicated for
• lean of DOI. on the teems and conditions -
fled in the advertisement, and •
ensued, which resulted in a formal letter, headed
with great form and intimating that a reference the ap-
plicant had given was so satisfactory that the board of
directors had unanimously resolved to grant the advance
recinested on the execution of the acoompanyang promissory
note for Mk, and the transmission with It of a poet-office
order for W., payable at the Charing-cross office, for one
year's interest and expenses. The promissory note was
duly executed, end the post oMes order obtained
by the prosecutor and forwarded to Mr. T. W. Crofts,
of the great company which had promised such
attractive advantages to the public. The
note sent down to Mr. Wood bore the impress JZiemierriaine
and responsible assceistion, being numbered from billhook
134, and purporting to be registered No. 3,714. It
was shown that fur the most pert the correspondence was
in the handwriting of the prisoner Ambrose, and that
he and the other prisoner lodged together in another part
of the town, and were engaged every day in writing
letters, which they stated to be for the news-
papers. After the transmision of the promissory note and
the post-office order, the prosecutor not receiving any
reply or remittance, wrote again to the same address, end
received back through the poet-office his own letter opened
and endorsed not known. This constituted the came for
the prosecution.
The prisoner Mitchell, when called upon, protested that
he was wholly inmeese of any fraud, and had been the
dupe of the man Crofts, who has been spoken of.
Mr. Ribton addressed an energetic appeal to the jury on
behalf of the prisoner Anthems, contending that in going
for the letters he had only acted ea the subordinate or
servant of Mitchell and Crofts.
The Common Serjeant summed up the evidence with
his usual care and minuteness, and
The jury after a brief consultation retuned a verdict of
Guilty against both the prisoners.
Mr. Serjeant Parry informed the court that there were
other indictments against the prisoners, showing that they
hrldr=ited the right, at 23. 6d. a week, to have letters
a to a greengrooer'sshop in Harp-alley, FarriWon-
street, where it could be shown they received a bale
amount of correspondence, and had also received a large
amount of money by the perpetration of similar frauds. He
did not think it necessary io go on with these indictments
after the conviction which had taken place. He wished
ale/ to bear testimony to the exertions of detective officer
William Smith, to whose activity, zeal, and energy, the
discovery of these delinquents had been brought about.
The Common Serjeant, without comment, sentenced the
prisoners to be severally kept in penal servitude for the
term of Ave years.
