NEW COURT.—YESTERDAT.
Duna rue BaCOIUMIL
Beurrinca.
John Taylor wee placed at the bar tannin the judgment
of the court
The Recorder, in puling sentence, said that the prisoner
had been eonvieted before him of robbing his master, Mr.
Bohn, of a large quantity of valuable books, and It appeared
that after having been for a considerable time in the service
of that gentleman as town traveller, he had taken advantage
*lns confidence placed in him by his employer to take a
great number of valuable works from the warehouse end to
pleader him to a very considerable extent. The case was a
very bad one, and he keew of no offence coming within the
definition of dealing which was more mischievous to society
than the ea of persons In twins's confidence was place
pluderieg those who confided in them. The learned
annul, who had conducted his define* with very great
ability, had elicited in the course of the trial that the
amount of wages he had formerly received was 301. a
week, bat in cousequenos of some misunderstanding that
took place between him and his muter, his weges were
reduced to a guinea a week, and were afterwards
raised to 255. He could not, however, see that this
had any bearing upon the cue, because, whether his wages
wen 255. a week or 30s. a week, it was quite clear that they
were ample enough to protect him from want or temptation,
and if he had been ever misunderstood to say that the
mere fast of a person receiving low wages was any palliation
for an offence of this desoription, he wished it to De under.
abed that it was very far from his intention to inks any
such entement. What he intended to say was, that where
sufficient wages ware not given to enable the parties em
ployed to obtain the necessaries of life, that it exposed them
to more temptation, but whether high wages or low wages
wingless, be always regarded robbery by servants as a very
serious offence, and those who had psi 4 attention to the
sentence' which he had pronounced Is these courts mast
have observed that be bad always tasted such offences in
that light
The prisoner was then sentenced to be Imprisoned and kept
to hard labour for 12 swaths.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A Plait AND A SUBPUINA.-4084,4 HONlit was charged
with cresting a disturbance at the resident, of the Earl of
Bamford; and also with having attempted to force open
the door of the carriage, for the purpose of serving the
Counter of Stamford with a subpcona.
The Earl of Stamford stated, that about 3 o'clock that day,
as the carriage was at the door, the defendant and another
pen ^n came forward and attempted to open the earflap
door. The defendant had a writer a subicons in his hand.
Witness interposed sad pushed him back. The carriage
drove off, and he walked towards Piccadilly, followed by the
defendant, who appeared to be in a state of eonfusion.
Meeting with a police omirable near the Burlington Arcade,
he gave the defendant into custody.
A footman corroborated the statement, and wee entain
that the defendant had his hand on his lordship's shoulder.
Police constable Penh, C 136, said, when he took the de-
fendant into custody the defendant said he had only acted
atwording to his Instructions.
Mr. Bingham asked the defendant what he had to say.
Defendant—l had a sabres's& to serve on the countess., and
I only endeavoured to serve it when I saw her ladyship in
the carriage.
Mr. Bingham—Oat of what court was this mibpmaa ?
Defendant—l don't know. I was only acting ander
instructions.
Mr. Bingham—Who gave you thole instructions?
Defendant—Mr. Holt, solicitor, of Chatham-place.
Mr. Bingham—Did Mr. Holt give you instructions to
open the gardens door, against the will of parties inside ?
Defendant—l did not open the door. They wen too
quick for me.
Mr. Holt said the defendant had been employed by him
to serve e enbycona on the Count. as of Stamford, from the
Conn of Chancery, to give evidence on a matter to which
he would not then further allude.
Mr. Bingham asked U the court had given no special
directions about the time and place when the subpaina
should be served ?
Mr. Holt said than were no directions beyond that it
should be served within a mouth.
Lord Sunhat eta tile was not correct.
Mr. Holt said Me samerwier had acted only with that
seal with wide mew is his situation would an, when
they had a pert, M sane who wee reluctant to be served.
Mr. lllagYam mil be did not think Mr. Holt would say
that it was a peeper way to serve • rabreita, to lay hold of
hie lordship's shoulder, and to endeavour to fares open the
curls(' door.
Mr. Holt had no wish to resort to such proceeding", but
her ladyship had already refused to attend to one subperna
that had boon served ea her
Mr. Bingham asked U throwing the subpmaa into the
carriage would sot be sufficient ?
Mr. Holt said it would. He very much regretted the
setter having been attended with unpleasant einterastanoss
to his lordship.
Lord Stamford wee awry le had set horsewhipped both
the men.
Mr. Bingham considered that the ease was owe whisk did
not require, nado the circumstances, to be dealt with very
**rarefy. He thought hie lordship would be minified with
the explanation that had been offered, and be should,
therefor", only require the defendant to eater into hie
own recognisance., without fees, to keep the peeve far
three seethe.
Mr. Belt asked Lord Stamford U he would accept service
on behalf of his Jay, and that would end all further as-
noyarsee.—Hie lordeldp replied decidedly net.

WINDING UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—
Yestarday the 'mambas of the previsional osataittos of this
onspeay,who had been placed by his Honmar,Master
on the list of contributories es liable, in sixordanos with the
law laid down by the Howie of Lords, were summoned to
show cues why they elionkt sot pay a ;all of 601. per shaft
la &whirr et eons sad liabilities.—Mr. isarsho, who
attended as counsel for Mr. Plieholay, et Ozilerioirest, *ad
others of the provisiosal esioneittee, who somplol IM Amu
each, opposed the deelaratien of the cued .sll ma the
round that at present then wets so 6. orbit *innate,
either proved or ascertained, and that any all, if nude
should not be a pods coil, bat a pro rani one per share on the I
members of the previsional committee.—Mr. Higbee,
solicitor for Mr. Norris, the ofildal manager, said the pro-
posed cell was sought to be nude to give the iiMcial manager
a sort of indemnity fund to provide 'satinet the oasts of appeal
to the House of Lords other matters and not for costs out of
pocket, and the produce of the calf would be paid into the
Bank of England subject to the control of the Kamer. Then
was • debt of 8001. amoeut others for printing and sta-
tionery, and the solicitor of the company proposed to sand in
a bill of costs for 1,0001. After ameliorable discussion, fa
which his lionourintlinatedan opinion that the cats inciter' ed
should be lint amertaned before • call was made, the
preposition for making it was adjourned sun die.—
Mr. Roxbarghe intimated that he intended, on behalf of
his client, to appeal against the call. Before a call was
made it would be necessary to prove when Mr. Nicholay
joiewl the provisional committee.—His Honour: I take it
that a man who Joins the provisional committee sanction all
done subsequently, until the concern assumes • form.—Mr.
Roxburgh*: In the Duly News of to-day there is a dui
'ion of the Vier Chancellor on this subject, in which he state,
that the caw of a provisional committeeman depended on
its own circumstancts, and that no provisional commtttos
men is liable except (or debts contracted by his individual
eutbority.—His Honour: That is directly in the face of
Upfill's cue, as decided by the House of Lords.

lavEaPom, MARrcE 11118WIA1cCE COMPANY.—
Yesterday, his Honour, the Hon. flit George Rose appointed
Mr. G. Hutton official sewer to wind up this company's
affairs on the petition of Mr. Nicol, merchant, of Liverpool,
who stated that the undertaking sem started in 1831, with a
capital of 200,0001. in 2,000 shares of 1001. each, for tram-
acting all the business connected with marine underwriting.
The company continued until November, 1849, and various
large sums were divided among the shareltolden on account
of profits. The petitioner alleges that from the natty* of
the underwriting business considerable time frequently
elapses before the extent of losses eustained by underwriters
becomes known ; that the three years preeeding 1849 were
very disastrous to the oompany, and that in making up the
accounts in the autumn of that year the direeton sacertained
that the lames of the company had exhausted the whole
surplus fund, and also all the premium moneys, funds in
hand, and psid•up capital, and that, in addition, it would be
necessary to make considerable calls to defray liabilities.
Three successive calls were made to discharge the debts,
but as they were very inadequately paid by the shareholders,
a large amount of liabilities remains outstanding at this time,
which can only be paid off under the provisions of the
Winding-up Act.
