This was en inquiry to user damages In sa action,
brought in the Court of Queen's Bench, by Mr. Charles
litherington' a solicitor at Chatham, to recover of the de-
fendant, the notorious Joseph Ady, the sum of 11., as "money
had and received," and also damages for breach of contract.
The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. Warren appeared for the plaintiff. The defendant
did not appear.
In stating the ease to the jury, Mr. Warren observed that
the present proceedings were Instituted by his client, •
highly respectable solicitor at Chatham, for the purpose,not
only of gasbag additional entwine to the system of fraud
upon the public that had been so long, and he was sorry to
say, successfully to some extent, adopted by the defendant,
Joseph My, of worldwide notoriety—but to show
the defendant, that though he wan impel-vim to
the powers of police magistrates criminally, and
his anal practices without the jurisdiction of criminal
courts, then were legal measures by which, if per.
ties whom he had duped and defrauded cse to adopt them,
an end must be put to those fraudulent practices of which
the public had so much reason to complain. In November
last, the plaintiff received a letter from My, in which he
promised, in consideration of a fee of it., to furnish him
with some information of importance, which would beef
personal nee, benefit, and advantage, undertaking to return
such fee on application if the information did not produce
him any personal advantages, and the plaintiff accordingly
forwarded him the required sum. In return he received
from Ady a printed receipt for the fee, a copy of the Paro-
chial Assessments Act, and a long and incomprehensible rig.
=stole (lithographed) in the she of an essay on the opera-
tion of the Tithe Commutation Act and the mode of assess-
ing rum, and the following letter :
Nov. 9, 1849.

preent.4 years. Preb.bly if you ere wide awake you may get I,ooel.
by this hint. Momover your ravish and county nice are worldly
neglect —Respectfully, JOSAkft ALIT.
(Much laughter followed the reading of this epistle.)
Finding that the promised "advantageous" information was
utterly useless and becoming aware that the whole affair
was an imposition, the plaintiff applied ter the restoration of
his money, and he was then favoured with a communication,
which contained one of the most atrocious libels upon a gen-
tleman holding a jtv.icial sitaatioa, that human ingenuity
could devise, and which even his professional privilege
would not permit him to give utterance to, for, if Ady, in
pursuing his system, coup'. it the names of respectable Jodi.
viduabs with the most malignant libels, that was no reason
why those libels and the names of these individuals
should go forth to the public. The letter, on one side, con-
tained a lithographed extract from a police report, in which
Ady figured as haring been placed in " the felon's do:k,"
but showing that he had been discharged by the magistr.tn
on the ground that his conduct had been legal—a portrait of
a fierce-lookiog warrior in Hussar uniform, and them lines :
" A nest of plundering hornets to provoke
Calls thousands forth to urge their senomed hate."
And, on the other side, Ady wrote :

Up..n receipt of this, the plaintiff gave instructions for
proceedings to be commenced, and on an attorney applying
to the defendant for the mosey he said he did not tt ink
Mr. Etherington amid have b. en such • fool as to part wi-h
it. The declaration in the action was special. It was
founded upon the contract the defendant had made to return
the money if the conditions open which he obtained it failed,
and the declaration balm for "money had and received,"
the form of action, he apprehended, was g ,ini, and the
plaint.ff entitled not only to the sum he lied actually paid,
but to damps for having been at an expense of twn guineas
in the matter before the writ was issued. If the jury gave
the plaintiff their verdict, no doubt it would have a bene-
ficial operation, fur theugh the defendant was minidered by
many to be insane, there was a strange method of criminality
in his madness, which would no dott,:t be coutiderably les-
sened by such a verdict.
Evidence of the above facts, and proof that the letters and
receipts were in Ady's handwriting. were then given.
The learned Secoi.dary, in summing up, aid that after
the great publicity that bad been given to Ady's course of
proceeding, it was a matter of surprise that any person, espe-
cially an attorney, Amid become his dupe. The defendant
must take all the con 'ounces of his fraudulent conduct, mid
in this torn of action, a special declaration for money had and
received, he considered the plaintiff entitled to recover back
his money, and such sum as the ,ury thought fit to give as
damages for the expenses the plaintiff had been put to.
The jury asked to what extent they could give damages ?
Mr. Warren said the plaintiff only claimed 31 2..
The jiff,. then gave a verdict for that - mount. The costs,
amounting to from lb!. to wt., were fixed upon the
defendant.

OP COltN WALL AND TM/ CUUNIY COCHT.

A rule hod been obtained, calling on the plaintiff
and the Con• ty Court judge of Cuniwall, to Show cause
why a prohibition should not issue to prevent them proceed-
ing on a judgment obtained against the defendant in the
County Court.
The question war whether the County Court of Cornwall
had jurisdiction where the defendant was a Saner, or who.
thee the jurisdiction of the &moults Court prevailed, not-
withstanding the passing of the County Court Ac'.
Mr. Greenwood showed cause, and contended that the
Court et SURDITLIM had nojuriediction at all, but, even it it
had, it was taken away by the County Court Act ; end that
the cause of action did not arias within the jurisdiction of the
:tanneries Court. It was true that the County Court Act
provided that the courts of the warden and vice-warden of
the Btannari•. s should not be effected by the uct, but the 7th
section also enacted that no privileges, except certain privi-
leges afterwards mentioned, should exempt any person from
the operation of the act.
Mr. Smirk. and Mr. Montague Smith appeared in support
of the rule.

It was stated that this was Ma first instance in which a

CILLOR.

Mr. Cowliug and Mr. Naylor showed cause 'genet a rule
which had bees obtained, calling on a Mr. Coward to sh,w
cause by what right he exercised the uffice et town councillor
for the borough of Cambridge.
The objection taken to the election of Mr. Coward was,
that Mr. Coward's address and description were not pro-
perly entered in the voting paper for the ward in which he
bad been elected, inumuch as in the voting papers he
was described as of" Oonville-place, in Cambridge, whereas
he had reinovd from this place, where he once resided, to
Newmarket-row. It was said this was such a misnomer as
would vitiate a vote; but it was now cortendcd that the
description was one which was such as would enable the
voter to be identified, and could not nisi ad, as Coward
was well known, and it was no more than an inaccurate
description.
Mr. Watson and Mr. Lush, contra, were not heard, the
court being of opinion that the place of abode was not pro-
perly !states`..

Afts r a further s xamination of the insolvent,
Mr. Dowse Mr. Begley, and Mr. Sargnotl, for the cre-
ditors, severally subasitt.d that the insolvent was not en-
titled to have a protecting order; but Mr. Nicholls called
upon the court to grant the insolvent's application.
The learned Chief Commissioner, in delivering his judg-
ment, asked, bow could he refuse to a tradesman his pro-
tection, and allow a gentleman to go scot free ? He was
bound to refuse the present application.
On application, his honour allowed him to come up again
in five m inths, and on the next occasion he should expect
to hear what efforts bad been made to arrange with the
creditors, and what they had done to bring about such a
negotiation.
'l'he case stands adjourned sine die, without protection to
the insolvent, with leave for him to resew his present ap-
plication in five months from the present occasion.

healthy young woman, about ZS year. of age, and the mother
of five children. Oa &May morning, about five o'clock,
she was unfitted of her fifth end shortly after eight

TUN QUINN V. THE JUSTICES OP lIRTII.-1
WORKING ON ♦ SUNDAY.

Dvaux, lAN. 30.
It was no idle threat to tell the Irish protectionist
landlords that they were evoking a most dangerous
and formidable spirit in the north. Almost every
poet from Ulster brings us intelligence of the move-
mint which Lord Downshire and his friends, unfortu-
nately foe them elves, commenced, by their attempts
to mislead the agricultural population of that great
province, but which has now assumed a direction
which he little dreamt of. A meeting of tenant
farmers was held on Monday at Bainbridge, which,
u the Northern Whig tells us, may well make Lord
Downshire and his friends quail; and at which men
spoke oat boldly of other rights besides tenant-
right which were necessary for the prosperity of
the country. The meeting was an aggregate one of
freeholders and tenant farmers, the majority of them,
I believe, residents on the property of Lord Down-
stairs himself; it was held in the open air, at the out-
skirts of the town, and was attended by many per-
sons of station and respectability.

Mr. Peacock showedcame •g;ii;;;Ca7rnie calling on the
magistrates of Bath to show cause why a mandamus s►ould
not WWI directicg them to issue a distress warrant to levy
the sum of 6s. on the goods of Levy Weston, • porter on
the Great Weirton Railway, who had been convicted of an
infringement of the Lord'a-day Act, by unloading luggage
on a Sunday. A rule alai had been obtained last term which
had been discharged on a technical objection to the jure,
of the affidavit. It was contended that this was now the
tame application on an additional affidavit, and therefore the
court eoull not receive it.

Mr. Watson (with whom was Mr. Phinn) contended that
es a fresh demand of the penalty had been made, a new
affidavit was necesary, and in fact the application was en-
tirely a fresh one. The court being of that opinion,
Mr. Peacock proceeded to urge that the affidavits did not
show that a proper demand hut been made for payment of
the penalty, and that it had not been made. The person
who had made the demand was not the proper person to do
so, he being the churchwarden, who was not entitled to the
penalty, but only to a moiety, for the use of the poor of the
parish. The conviction, too, wra urged to be bad, and not
within the statute, which specifically stated the persons who
were not to exercias their calling en a Sunday, viz., labour-
er', artificers, tradesmen, &c. It wu stated that Weston
WWI a labourer, having for his crdinary calling that of a
porter, and that he exercised visit calling by unloading a
track in the luggage department of the Great Western
Railway, and that he war, as such porter, a labourer within
the meaning of the act, whereas the conviction should have
stated him to be a labourer who had exercised his calling.
The court, however, without hearing the counsel on the
other side, said there must be a return, and made the rule
etiolate.

whether they were willing to reduce the ea arras of the
officers, and whether any member of the beard was interested
in the house of Sharp Brothers, who had made engines for
this costae ? (Hear.)
Mr. STOCKS, of Halifax, a large shareholder, defended
in many particulars the conduct of the directors. He
strongly condemned that section of the shareholders who
bad gone to the London and North Western Company in
the name of the entire body. He described their conduct
as most rourdslous and diegreeefal. The directors had been
moat shamefully tricked in thematic,. (Applause.) With
reference to the secretary's gamy, he thought 5001. a year
sufficient.
The CHAIRMAN said that, as fee what public opinion
would do, he tomtit the North Staffordshire sharekoldm
must place little reliance on that. The directors were quite
willing that their number should be reduced; in fact he had
in his pocket the resignatios of all but one of than it
might, however, be • question bow fez they should proceed
with this ; but this much he woad say, that so soon se the
depute with the London and North Western Company was
settled, the directors would resign in a body, leaving It to
the shareholders to decide whether the were worthy
of re-election. (Cries of " Bravo.") Until that time
they would not, if they remained in office, have
their conduct controlled or supervised in any way.
Neither could he consent to ea adjournment, as in that case
the proxies now held by the dissentient shareholders for a
afferent purpose might be need at the next meeting, whereas
they had firmly refused to fortify themselves with any assist-
snob of the kind. (Applause.) Rather than that should be
the ease, he would pay tur a reissue of proxies to every
shareholder from his own pocket. (Applies/4
