tended, he (Mr. Gummi) should apply fora warrant. Thu
await on the part Cl the defendant was moat unprovoked.
Mr. Wood *Waned that there wee no ennui for the con-
duct of the defendant, sad he thought that the magistrate,
after hearing the case, would come to the determination to
send it to the sessions.
Mr. Cameron remarked that the complainants bad ex-
ercised every forbearance toward% the defeud”nt. lie (Mr.
Cameron) was in hopes that the defendant would have been
represented by some legal gentleman, who would have 'd-
enied him as to the course be ought to pursue.
Mr. Mansfield observed that he had men the defendant on
• former occasion at that court, and that he believed him to
be suffering from ill health. He was under great irrita-
bility.
Evidecce was given of the serving of the summons, upon
which a warrant was Issued. _

Immediately afterwards' friend of the defendant came into
court and was told that • warrant was issued, and that all
the witnesses were gone.
Lieutenant-Colonel Biggs hare addressed Mr. Mansfield,
and said he bopcd some protection would be afforded to the
volunteers, as boys were allowed to walk on the practice-
ground to prevent volunteers firing.
Mr. Mansfield observed that when the case again came
before him that subject might be inquired into.
Wheatland!), Mr. Lewis jun., attended, to apply for a
summons against • person for an assault on Mr. Rwkanb,
when he was told that the complainant must apply in person
for the summons, and the final hearing of the whole case
was put off for • week.

A lady, about :IT. years of sge, applied to Mr. Ingham,
the presiding magistrate, for a protecting order.
The applicant said that her husband was a surgeon, who
bad left her and gone to Melbourne, and as she bad ac-
quired some property since his departure she wished it pro-
tected by law.
Mr. Ingham inquired bow long her husband Lad left her.
Applicant replied twelve yeeis.
Mr. Ingham—Hu he done anything towards your Mill-
teamss during that time
Applicant—Yes • I have had remittances regularly from
time to time, but he has now returned to London, and
says he will never see me spin.
Mr. Ingham —Have you seen him since his return to this
country
Anliant- No.
Mr. Ingham—Does he know where to find you!
Applicant—Yes, and was near my house last night.
Mr. Ingham—lf an order were granted you, the only
effect would be to protect property you have earned since
be left you. I understat•d you have such property.
Appheant—l have worked hard for it.
Mr. Ingham—Was any of it purchased with the money
remitted ,ctar ht.ul?"s"

Applicant-No ;tt la the proceeds of my own industry.
Mr. Ingham directed her information to be taken in
writing, and she then stated that her name was Rebecca
Mary Ann Dansey, that her husband's name was George
Frederick ; that her Ant intimation of his being about to
leave the country was by a letter received from the Isle of
Wight, and that the lust letter she received from him was
on the 25th of last May, in which be stated he should
return to this country about the end of Aucast.
' Mr. Ingham—How long has be been in England!
Applicant—A month.
Mr. Ingham— Du you believe he is about to abandon you!
Applicant—l do, for ever.
Mr. Ingham —Have you given him any cause for such •
step!
Applicant—None in the least, and if be would come and
listen to me, I could convince him that I have not, but he
affords me no opportunity of communicating with him. I
don't know where he is.

Mr. Ingham—He has some motive for the conduct of
which you complain !
Applicant—He is suffering, I believe? front a feeling that
I have been unfaithful to him, which is perfectly without
foundation. I bare ascertained at least that such are his
suspicions by a circumstance that occurred only last night,
and which proved that he was very near my house. Miss
Adams, a lady who has come to this court with me, can
state what occurred.
__.

Miss Adams stood forward, and stated that on the pre-
vious evening • person mune to her house and stated ilia,
• gentleman a abort diatoms off wished to eprak to her.
She understood it was upon particular business, and having
accompanied the messenger, was introduced to applicant's
husband, whom she immediately recognised, although she
had never seen him before. _

Mr. IDghain—How was that—by some description you
bad bad of him ?

Mira Adams—No, by a miniature likeness of him Mrs.
Dewey now wears round her neck. I told him he was her
husband, and he admitted it. He put several questions to
me concerning her, and I considered it my duty to tell her.
Mr. Ingham—Vbeu did you receive the last remittance.
Mte. Danaey
Applicsat—Yesterday, bat it was only 31., and the letter
informs me that that will be the last.
In coallathaticaof this statement, she handed the magis•
trace the letter.

Mr. lagbam—Yon may forfeit all claim upon your bus.
band by taking eat the order you seek. It may be more to
your interest to abstain from taking it, and a better us•
dentanding may be brought about between you. He at any
rate has not yet deserted you, as you bays just reeeived a
remittance.

The lady and her friend then withdrew.
LAMBETH. _

After the other night charges had been disposed of, Ser-
geant Thompson, 19 L, informed the Hon. G. C. Norton
that on the evening before two men, named John Grant
and Chance lialermrth, masons on strike, as he understood,
had been given into custody, on a charge of making use of
intimidating language towards the workmen in the employ-
ment of Messrs. George Myers and Sons, with the view of
getting them to leave their employment. They were also
further charged with assaulting one of the men, but the
only offence primed spinet them at the Tower-street station-
home was the former, and the sheet was signed by Mr.
Pomeroy, Mr. Myen's foremen. On procuring sureties to
the amount of 3/. each to appear at this court on that
morning they were liberated, and he (Sergeant Thompson)
saw them in the vicinity of the court some time
batons, but they had disappeared, and mold not bo
found in the neighbourhood. He, in consequence, sent
for the bail and they were in attendance.
One of the teal, a publican, said the men left his house on
that morning with the intention of coming to court, and he
was at a loss to understand why they should go away. He
begged also to say that he was not aware when ho bailed
out the men that they had been guilty of an assault, and
to add that had he been aware of the fact he should not have
,interfered.

ut Thompson explained this by saying the man
as as wee not able to rto the station-house to make
the charge, and that morning, though nearly blind, some-
body had made him so drunk that he was not in ft fit state to
come to court. Mr. Myers, however, had been In attendance,
and was obliged to go away, but had left Mr. Pomeroy, his

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

At the close of the chairman's speech, yesterday,

- -
Yr. AINaLI3 said he thought Mews. Quilter, Ball, aid
Co. ought to ha there to bear the statements that had been
eoomand to have an opportunity of replying to them. He
aaiied that the directors bad refused to gine him infor-
mation when he had applied for it. He thee went into •
long statement as to details of a ceattect for • statics
at Stratford, and is reference to more men being paid thaw
ware requisite. He moved that ► committee be appointed
to consider how the affairs of the company were managed,
and that all contracts should be advertised and let to the
lowest bidder.

The 'notion was not secoudixl, and therefore fall to the
ground. . .

Mr. ADAMS observed that there was a decreased receipt
with an increased expenditure ; and he asked why, wider
these circumstances, they should boy new stock? He did
not think it worth while to go into the report, but he
wished to know whether the register was to be examined. The
last time it was examined by the chairman's clerk, and
there must be some reason for the chairman of a company,
who was a member of the Stock Exchange, havinifithiyi
register of the company examined by his own clerk.
had the report of Mean. (pillar, Ball, and Co. on the Sc.
counts • and /must say, if the meeting. allowed
that damaging report to pass without taking some
steps upon it, he must say they &weed
to loos the whole of their property in this
undertaking. That report said, "Those misstatements
implied a deliberate perversion of matters of fact." That
was what the directors were mewed of. He was satisfied
that it must be true, for Mews. Quilter, Ball, and CO.
would not have dared to make it if it were not. It was
clear from the chairman's statement that there was founda-
tion for the charge, for what he said amounted to this :
That the accounts must be made up in a way that
would be pleasant to the shareholders, aid in
order to do this, he postponed till next half-
' year the payments which properly belonged to this,
mu the hope that something might turn up which would be
more beneficial to the shareholders. Now, with regard to
this speculative parches' of locomotive carriages, and so on,
it was said that they would be wanted next serum ; but
were railway companies justified in speculating in this way?
That was the charge spired Mr. Hodson,who speculated and
" made things pleasant" to the shareholders. He did not
think that the proposed arrangement with the
Norfolk and Eastern Union Companies would be ad-
vantageous. A somewhat hurdler arrangement was made
between the South Wales and the Great Western, but they
bad been quarrelling ever since. Unless they could unite
so that there should be one fixed proportion awarded to
these companies, their union would be u far from being a
happy one as ever. It would be worth their while to give
the Norfolk, and the Eastern union? and the East Anglian
something, so as to have one united interest. The question,
however, for the present meeting was whether, under pre-
sent circumstances, they should declare any dividend at all,
seeing that Messrs. Quilter, Bell, and Co., speaking of the
large amounts hanging over the company's revenue account,
said "if these accounts were properly adjusted according to
our views of what is right to be done, such adjustment
would absorb a very large proportion and perhaps the whole
of the balance of revenue now assumed to be available for
dividend." If, under these circumstances, they did declare
a dividend the price of their shares would inevitably fall.
He moved that a committee be appointed to ascertain
whether these charges were well founded.
Mr. PULLER seconded the motion.

Mr. Box said there could not be a better argument for a
committee than the report of the &Accountants, for they said
there bad been a wilful perversion of facts.
Mr. CHRIBTIE remarked that Messrs. Quilter, Ball,
and Company's statement amounted to this, that
they thought it would be more desirable before
any dividend was declared that they should pay
their debt. The chairman and directors, in the exercise of
their wisdom, thought it more prudent that the stock which
had been provided for the coming exhibition ought not so
be paid for now out of the sum which would otherwise be
applicable to the dividend. Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co.
might be correct, and the chairman and directors might be
also correct. For his own part, he should generally. prefer
that the directors announced to them that all their debts
were paid, and that a certain sum remained for dividend ;
but he thought the directors were right on this occasion in
saying that they should carry over the amount they owed,
and which they had owed fur a very short time.
The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment and declared
that it was lost.

Mr. Box—Cao not we demands poll? I demand a poll.
the CHAIRMAN—No. I was about to put the motion
that the report he adopted
Yr. Sorsa, one of the auditors, said before the motion
was pet he thought it right that Menu. Quilter and Ball
should be called upon to give an explanation why they wrote
that letter. _ _ _ _ . _

TheCuerniati—l rather think our friend is out of order
as to time, because I have given everybody an oppor-
tunity of discussing this question. I put one of two pro-
positions before you, whether a committee should be ap-
pointed against the report and the committee was negatived,
and whilst I am about to put the original motion it is pro.
posed that Messrs. (Oilier and Ball should be,.called upon
to address the meeting.
Mr. Box—l shall adopt the course that lam privileged
to adopt.

Tie CHanutaa then put the motion that the report be

the ordinary business of the meeting was at an end.
Mr. Poch--When is the poll to take place?

Mr. PCLLia— Upon the amendment—a poll was de-

The meeting then separated.

On Tuesday the South Devon, the Wells and
Fakenham, the Carlisle and Port Carlisle, and the Carlisle
and Silloth Railway Companies held their half-yearly
meetings, and the directors' report was adopted in each
cam without opposition. On Wednesday the Bristol and
South Wales Union and the Aylesbury and Buckingham
Railways held their meetings, at which the reports end
wends were adopted. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting
of the Norfolk Railway was held, and the dividend declared
by the directors was agreed to. The explanations of the
chairman (Mr. Bidder) as to the position of the company
seemed to give satisfaction.
RRTNNET RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting
of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday, at
the Gray's-inn Hotel, Holborn ; Mr. Cave in the chair. The
secretary read the report, which stated that the amount re-
quired for capital expenditure during the half-year was
8,0901. O. Id., of which there was applied to lard, compen-
salon, and works, 3,6121. Is. ; and the remainder to
sundry expenses. The gross revenue, amounting to
21,1351. 35., gives an increase of 4,2801. Us. Bd., or 25 per
omit. over the revenue for the correspond* period of 1860.
An act had been obtained in the last cession far securing the
power's( the company in respect of the Bayne lad Ithmocy
Branch Rails-ay, but the unction of parliament was cot
give. to the bill introduced for extending this railway from
Walnut Tree-bridge to Cardiff. The bill for the Cardiff and
Caerphilly Railway was also withdrawn by its promoters.
The board anticipate a favourable effect on the revenue ac-
count, by the issue of the preference shars recently created,
as it will much diminish the high rate of interest
hitherto paid on the touting debt., when the whole debt of
the company has thus been capitalised at a more reasonable
rate of interest, in accordance with the resolutions adopted
at the extraordinary meeting held ea the 7th of August last.
On the motion of the Chairman, the report we. adopted.
STRIKE or CARTERS AT dATIONNETZ/L—Yesterday
the members of the Short•tirne Association of Railway and
General Carriers' Carters in Manchester and Sella's!, to the
number of about 800, struck work, and in the afternoon
walked through the streets in procession. Some months
ago an agreement wee come to with the employer' to mane
collecting goods for Liverpool at 8 p.m. sod for every other
place at 6.30 p.m. NEVI then the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway Company have refused to employ members
of the short-time society, and Messrs. Carver and Co. have
given a preference to men unconnected with the society.
The society men have now resolved not to resume work
until non-society men are dismissed. There is, M conse-
quence, a great interruption to business. and it is believed
at the railway porters are likely to join in the movement.

TER STRIKX IN THE IROX TRADL—The pud-
dler* employed on the Tyne and in the Wear Valley, &Mat
Consett, remain out on strike, in consequence of the reductio•
of ten per cent. proposed by the masters. With those on
the Tees, the number out is about 10,000. The roasters at
• meeting held on Tuesday refused to allow the men to
return to work except upon those terms. Tomorrow, in
onnaeque•oe of the continued depression in the iron tuule,
the Itishopwearmouth iron works will be closed, which,
with the bankruptcy of Mr. Oswald, the extensive iron
shipbuilder at that plies, will throw 1,800 workmen out of
employment.
