COURT OF QUEEN% BENCH.—Nov. B.

Sittings in Banco. —(Before Laid Chief Justice Cockburn,
and Justices Wightinan sod Blackburn.)

PikNZ AND °THUS V. CHATTOR AND ANOTEIZIL -CHURCH

RATEA.

This case came before the court upon a demurrer to a
declaration, and raised a question as to whether the de-
fendants, two magistrates of the county of Durham, had
exceeded their jurisdiction in regard to a claim for church
rates. The plaintiffs are the owuers of a colliery near
Auckland, io that county,end were summoned before the de-
fendants for the non-payment of a church rate amounting to
Al. They- disputed the validity of the rate, and having given
the notice required by the statute to that effect, they re-
quested the magistrate, to forbear giving judgment, but the
latter proceeded to adjudicate upon the matter. and made
au order upon them for the amount, and subsequently issued
a distress warrant under which their goods were &strained.
The plaintiffs then brought an action against the defen-
dants, laying the damages at 3001., and the declaration,
which set out the facts, was demurred to on the ground
that it did not disclose a good cause of action.
Mr. Hindmarsh, on the part of the plaintiffs contended
that the declaration was good, and that the defendants
having knowingly and wilfully acted without jurisdiction
and contrary to the law the action was maintainable.
Mr. Haiti] having been heard on the other side.
The Lord Chief Justice said the jurisdiction of the magis-
trates for enforcing the payment of church rates was given
for the first time by 53 George 111., e. 127, soil the seine
section which gave it contained a proviso that if the validity
of the rate or the liability of the person of whom payment
was demanded were disputed, and he gave notice thereof to
the justices, they should forbear giving judgment., and that
the party should then proceed fur tho recovery of his de-
mand according to the due course of law. He quite admitted
that the questions whether the validity of the church rate
was bona tide disputed, and whether the notice of an intention
to dispute it, were matters lapin which it was competent for
the magistrates to adjudicate, hut in the present ease they had
no ground for supposing, upon the facts before them, that
the validity of the rate was not bona fide disputed, nor that
due notice, oonforniable to the act, was not given. There
being, then, a valid plea to the jurisdiction of the court
which ousted the magistrates of their jurisdiction, there
wail but one course for them to puisue, viz, to forbear
giving judgment conformable to the express enactment of
the statute. From that moment the magistrates were is
the same position as though the 63 Gen. 111., which first
gave them jurisdiction in matters of church rate, bad
pawed. In other word, they were devoid of any juris-
diction, but notwithstanding they proceeded to make an
order, and leaned the warrant nutter which the plaintiffs'
goods were seized. Taking the facts to be as stated in the
declaration, be was of opinion that the magistrates were
without jurisdiction, and consequently that the action might
be maintained, and that the declaration was good.
The other judges being of the same opinion., judgment was
given for the plaintiffs.

JOHNSON AND WHIM V. BROWNE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, the official sr

had so right to those goods, and that they were in his pones.
sion unlawfully. •
Mr. Morin, Q.C., Mr. Delman, Q.C., and Mr. WilionfhbY
were counsel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C.,aad Mr.
Griffita for the defendant.

The case was commenced yesterday, and at the coodusiou
of the plaintiffs' case this morning It was about to be again
adjourned when the /earned counsel intimated to his lord-
ship that the parties had agreed to settle the came subject to

OLIVI3I V. OLITZIL -A FAMILY DIBIMITN.

This was an action to recover mom lettere which bad been
written by one brother to the other, and afterward' returned
to the water. The jury found for the plaintiff, but ',eater.
der a motion was made for a rule for a new trial.

The Lori Chief Justice now said that Mr. Buren
Channel] reported that be laid down the law that a person
to whom a letter was Dent acquired property at least in the
paper ; and this was so. although there might remain copy-
right so far as authorship was concerned in the writer. No
doubt the plaintiff acquired property in the letters. As to
whether they had been returned to the defendant so as to
give him property io them, the evidence was conflicting,
and the decision of the jury ought not to be interfered
with.

Rule ref wed.
BANDON O. THI LONDON AND NONTHAVINTIZN RAILWAY

COIIPANT. -ACCIDENT.

The plaintiff suMit; reamer for !n juries sus-
tained whilst alighting from • train at Milord oo the 16th
November last, the evidence for the plaintiff being that he
was thrown down by the train moving on agate after it had
been brought to a standstill, whilst on the other side it was
mid that the plaintiff was trying to alight before the train
had stopped. At the trial, however, the jury found for the
defendants.

Mr. Huddleston, however, moved for a new trial' upon
the ground that the verdict was against the evidence.
The Lord Chief Justice said he had inquired of Mr.
Justice Hill, who tried the case, and he was not diseatisiled
with the verdict.
Rule refused.

TILTHOOSE V. BRINDLET.-A HOWIE CA/11.

The plaintiff claimed the value of a horse under tltese Mr-
cumstancte. His nephew was about quitting a farm, and
the plaintiff, being at the farm and seeing a horse the
asked the pries, and was told it was 30 guineas. He offered
301., and the offer was accepted. The bone, however, re-
mained upon the fans, and the plaintiff never paid for it.
The nephew afterwards wrote, saying that he had heard
that the *half bad asserted that he had bought the hone
for 30f., bet that this was not so, for the price was 30 gullet's.
The plaintiff replied that the real pries was 301., but rather
than ham any dispute he would split the difference No
reply was given, std about six weeks afterwards the defend-
' ant, who is en auctioneer at Tamworth, sold the horse by
auction, and the plaintiff now claimed the value of the
animal from him, and at the trial recovered a verdict for
33f., the price the horse fetched.
Mr. I)owdeswell now moved for a rule for a new trial,
euhtnittit g that no bargain had been concluded within the
meaning of the Statute of Pram's.
Mr. Keating said he believed that the point mainly
turned upon some letters which were not now in court.
Rule granted.
KRIM V. RAWILLER.-16ALICIOUR PROSECUTION.
This was as action to recover damages for malicious pro.
secution, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn, in
Sussex, the jury found for the plaintiff, damages 3001.
Mr. Serjeaut Parry now moved fora new trial, and slated
that the plaintiff was • German tutor, at Brighton • the
defendant was a printer in the same WIND. The defendant
prosecuted the plaintiff upon a charge of forging a bill for
211. 15a., and the jury, after considering the matter for two
hours, found a verdict of not guilty, etatiug that they gave
the plaintiff the benefit of • doubt. The present motion was
founded principally upon affidavits to show that about noon
on the 14th September, at which time the plaintiff swore
that the defendant signed the bill at Brighton, he was in
truth in London.
Rule granted.
TARRANT V. VIALII/M.—ACCIDENT WITH NITRIC ACID.
The plaintiff wee a carrier's man employed to collect
parcels in the City and convey them to the Elephant and
Was, when they were transferred to another vehicle ad
sent ou. Oe the Ist May last Rayner another terrier's
man, told the plaintiff he had a carboy for him from Mr.
Barnes, • dryealter in the City, which was to be conveyed
to • dyer at Croydon. The plaintiff took the carboy, which
was labelled "acid," and on moving it fro u hit cart at the
Elephant and Castle, smoke was noticed coming from it as
soon as it was on the plaintiff's heck ; and it. contents,
nitric acid, run on to the upper part of the plaintiff's per-
son, burning him frightfully. The plaintiff claimed damages
for the injury he hail suffered, but at the trial helots Mr.
Justice Blackburn • nooset was entered.
Mr. Serjeant Parry now moved for a rule to enter a ver-
dict for the plaintiff for 50/., the amount at which the jury
had assessed the damages; and stated that the len', is
answer to his lordship, found that the defendant did not
take reasonable precaution to make the carrier's servant
aware that the article was dangerous ; that the plaintiff
was, in fact, ignorant that it was dangerous, and that he
was guilty of uo negligence. They also found that it was
not proved whether the carboy was properly packed. Upon
this finding it was submitted that the plaintiff was emitted

Mt. Coleridge moved to met aside the verdict fouad
for the plaintiff far 631. 176 an the gamed of sidawstion.

It was an action tried at the Dirrall mamas amiss
before Mr. Justice Bytes. It appears that the plaintiff is a
tailor, at Plymouth, and the defendant is a gentleman
of fortune, now living at Cheltenham, but who for many
years resided near Calstock, in Corn nail. In 18:0.1 a ride
corps was founded at Oallington, and several of the inhabi•
tents of ealstook joined it, but afterwards were formed
into a separate corps. The defendant was invited to become
captain, which he did, but only temporarily, as he
was about to leave the neighbourhood. A committee
was formed, of which the captain, the lieutenant, and
the ensign were ex officio members. The plaintiff supplied
the uniforms and accoutrements, to the amount of
100 f. 165., and brought his action against the defendant,
as captain, to recover the amount, but the defendant denied
his individual liability. The misdirection complained of
was that the learned judge had directed the jury that the
defendant was liable. . .

Mr. Coleridge—Yes, my lord, and they go to open libra-

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Nov. 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Nichols.)
IN RI BEIJAtIIU ANDKADE—LOSSEB BY BOTCHER&
The insolvent, who bad been a butcher and meet sales-
man in Tyler's Market, Warrick-lane, was opposed by Mr.
Bargood on the part of Mr. tlcoonee and several other sales-
men in Newgate-market. Mr. Dowse supported.
The complaint against the insolvent, whose case occupied
some hours, was that he had contracted debts with the op-
posing creditors to 307/. within a short time of his failure,
and had made a " parse" for himself. The insolvent
alleged that his kisses had been considerable by meat spoil-
ing, and he had paid to the utmost of his power.
It appeared that the insolvent had, after he was sued by
Mr. Biomes, given a bill of side to a person who bad ad-
vanced him money.
Mr. Commissioner Nichols eventually adjourned the case
to the 3rd December for further informatioo, and the insol-
vent returned to prison.

Single Green, a boy between 13 and 14, residing at 41,
Brill-row, Somers-town, wascharged with steal g some cigars,
the property of Mr. J. Marriott, tobacconist, of 38, Skinner-

The use was clearly proved, and it was stated by police-
constable Philputt, 122 5, that the boy had bees previously
convicted of felony.
The father of the boy, who described himself as a mas-
ter locksmith, paying rates and taxes, and 281. per year
rent, said he should like to get the boy into a reformatory
school.

The father said be could not afford to pay anything.
Mr. D'Eyncourt.—What does he cost you to keep him?
The Father—l can hardly say ; but after a great deal
of pressing, he said that perhaps the boy cost him le, a

Mr. TrEyocourt—Can the boy read and write?
The Father—No. _ _

geld that showed great neglect on the
part of the father. What the father wanted him to do
would be for him to hold out s premium to parents to
bring up their children badly. He did not think that
parents were generally ordered to pay enough. If the
parents were brought before him for non-payment of the
order, he had no difficulty in enforcing it. Here wu a man
paying rates and taxes, and became his child turned out
badly, he wished the public to support it. He should send

and he should send him to the reformatory at Feltham for
three years.

John Crook, aged 22, sod Charles Chandler, Chandler, 23, were
charged with stealing a black leather bag.
It appeared from the evidence of Sarah Blomley, draper,
of Weyasoutb.atteet, that she saw the prisooses loitering
about the front of the shop. She watched them, when she
saw Chandler take the bag from the inside of the door, and

tinder his arm. When he was taken he exclaimed, " ltrs
all right this time, you shall have us for something better
next time." The other prisoner was also captured, and they
witr, both taken to the station.

Mr. Mitostield said be should strongly advise the prisoners
to redact during the nest three months about carrying on
the business, of thieves. In his opinion they were not
clever enough, nor yet quick enougb. They had better
makeup their minds when they came out to learn to work.

Sopkia Combo, a respec leile:looking middle-aged female,
warn brought before Mr. Combs charged with stealing a
brush, worth two shillings, from the shop of Mr. Butter-
field, in the London-road.
Thomas Junes, shopman to the prosecutor, said that
about six o'clock the previous evening the prisoner came into
their shop and looked at some knives. She left without
making a purchase, but returned a few minutes afte
while be was at the other end of the shop, and ex=
some brushes. Before he could reach her she left in a
hurried manner, and he missed a clothes-brush. He went
after her, and accused her of taking it, when be saw the
brush produced fall from her. He picked it up, and gave
her into custody. The prisoner most stoutly denied having
ever had the brush in her possession, neither did she see the
young man pick it up. She went into the shop to look at
some knives, and not seeing any to suit her she left..
Mr. Combo asked her whet she was? _ _

housekeeper, and lived at No.
10, Union-street, Borough-road. It wee not likely that she
should steal a paltry brush.
The oosstabL informed his worship that he bad made in-
quiries about her, sod he found that she kept the house in
question, but it was not of very great repute.
The prisoner said she let the house to lodgers, but unfortu-
nately they had all left her.
Mr. Combs told her that the evidence of the young man
was conclusive, and if abe did not elect to be tried by him
she must go to the sessions.
The prisoner said she did not wish to go to the sessions ;
she would be tried by his worship.
Yr. Combs told her there could be no doubt as to her
guilt. It wee a paltry robbery, and he should sestets* her
to a month's hard labour.

THR APPROACHING CIVIL "GAOL'

DELIVERY.

Though the new act has now been in operation nearly a
month, and the public as well as the profession are becom-
ing in some degree familiarised with its operation, it may
not be generally known that there is a batch of claws:oal
just now coining into force, but whose operationasg
the poorer class of debtors, will be perhaps more important
than any other portion of the act of 11461. Those clauses will
indeed effect something like a general gaol delivery of poor
debtors from every prison throughout the united Kingdom.
Those clauses are the 100th, 101st, and 102nd. The 100th
section directs that the gaoler of every prison in England
and Wales shall, on the let day of every month, make a re-
turn of all persons iu custody upon any process whatever, or
by reamer. of any debt, claim, or demand whatsoever, the
date of their imprisonment, the nature and amount of the
debts for which they are imprisoned, and whether they are
willing to petition the Court of Bankruptcy, or unable to
do so by reason of peaty ; the returns to include the
names and addresses of the detaining creditor., and to be
made to the London and District Courts of Bankruptcy,
mad to tLe county courts having jurisdiction. The next
clause provides as follows :
" The commissioner or county court judge, as the case
may be, shall, in every case, on receiving such retitle, make
an order that a registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy, or
of the county court of the district in which the gaol is
situate, shall attend at the gaol on a day to be named,
being at least seven, and not more than 21 days from the
date of such return. Notice of such order shall be forth-
' with given to the gaoler, and also to the execution and de-
Wein creditors of every prisoner included in such return.
On the day named in the order the registrar shall attend
I at the prison, and examine every prisoner included in such
return who 'hall have been in prison, being a trader, for 14
days, or, not being a trader, for two calendar months,
touching his estate and effects, debts, dealings, and transao-
thins. The registrar shall also ascertain the last place of
abode and business of each such prisoner within the six
months best prior to his imprisonment. The registrar shall
have power to make an order of adjudication in bankruptcy
against every such prisoner, and to grant him protection,
and to make an order for his release from prison, and shall
also direct in what court such adjudication shall be prose-
cuted, having regard to the amount of debts and the place
of trade or residence of the prisoner within the six months
next preceding his imprisonment. The registrar shall certify
the particulars of each case to the court of which he is re-
gistrar."
Finally, the 102nd clause directs that where such pri-
soners refuse to appear and be sworn, and slayer all lawful
questions, the court may, on the report of the registrar to
that effect, commit them to the common gaol of the county
for a month, with or without hard labour, and at the same
time adjudge them bankrupt. By clause 104 persons in
custody under the order of county court judges are not to
be included in those returns.
Rotuma have accordingly been made to this mart
by the gaolers of all debtors' prisons within its
jurisdiction ; and acting on the provisions of the
2nd section above cited, Mr. Commissioner Ifolroyd,
who his bad the direction of this department
of the business, yesterday made an order directing the dif-
ferent registrars to attend, on several days during the en-
suing week, at the three metropolitan prisons for debtor's,
in order to carry out these humane provisions of the new
act. The following are the arrangements which have been
made by the registrars for this purpose :
Mr. Registrar Hazlitt will attend on Tuesday, at lions-
monger.lans Gaol, where 47 prisoners have been returned
as awaiting their discharge.
Mr. Registrar Miller will attend on the same day at
Whit cruse-street Prison, where the number of prisoners
is 02.

onoduct the inquiries at the queen's Bonk Priem, on Tun.

TEX EXTRXRIVI ROBRIELIBB FROM TAIR LA/MA-
RK= AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.—Ht the West
Biding Court, Halifax. on Thursday, George Hartley,
farmer, Hoyland, was brought up, after remand from Tues-
day, and an the other men (who are believed to be farmers)
are still at large. Mr. E. L. Ashworth, of the firm of Lewis,
Derbyshire, and Ashworth, the eompoury's solicitors from
Manchester, who appeared for the prosecution, decided to
proceed with the case. The goods produced consisted of
very valuable packages from Messrs. Watts and Co., Port-
land-street, Manchester, Masers. Wilkinson and Davies,
Mosley-street, Messrs. John Muir and Co., Faulkner-street,
Messrs. Greedy and Co.. High-street, and other firms. The
goods were all addressed to Bradford firms. There were
upwards of 15 witnesses tendered for examination on behalf
of the prosecution, but it was decided to rely for a commit-
tal upon theme of the goads sent from Messrs. Watts and
Co.'s warehouse. After a protracted inquiry, the prisoner
was committed for trial.
