COB HILL r.ll WEST OP =OLAND 'NM RANCE
CON PANT.

Mr. Thomas Coilchill, the plaiutiff in this case, sought to
recover the sum of 2,7444 Ms., the amount of leas sustained
by fire, upon hi. stock of fancy woods, timber, manufactured
&c., stored in extcmive premises occupied by
the plaintiff, in C•illegeatreet, Liverpoul.
Mr. James, Q.C.. Mr. Asphalt, and another learned
gentleman appaired for the plaintiff ; Mr. Overeod, Q.C.,
Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Me. Deightoo, for the defendants.
The defendants restated the claim on several grounds,
but chiefly that iniareprvsentations and fraudulent akite-
manta had been made by the plaintiff mi to his lessee.
In opening the cave, Mr. James said the pLinitiff had been
eneased for about thirty years in an extensive and respect-
able famines., and that he had for a °under of years been
insured in the West of England office. His stock of wood
on the premixes in College.atreet was of great variety and
sable, the value indeed having in many caries been greatly
enhanced by the process of drying and seasoning which
a large portion of the wood had undergone since its
purchase. en the sth May a fire broke out in the
premises, which proved vero destructive to the timber
stand in the upper part of the building, while the water
and rain (which cams down heavily after the fire) eggmvated
the injurious effects of the the, particularly upon the
manufactured goods. When the tire was extinguished the
defendauts would not allow the plaintiff to take possession
of the premises, but placed their own men in charge, and
accused the defendant of haviug grossly and fraudulently
exaggerated his losses.
Mr. James admitted that the estimate of loss might be
excessive, but he utterly denied that the plaintiff had been
actuotal by any fraudulent design.
The plaintiff was theu exannoed, and stated that he had
timber stored in the roof worth 1.254/., mud on the first
floor the stock of cabiuet ware was worth from l,:11.10/. to
1,4X1/. He had refused an offer made by the company to
restore the furniture damaged by water. Ac., for 42!., and
declared that he could not and would not do so for less than
500/. He estimated that the whole of the timber ou the
premises would be worth 8,000/. when manufactured la.,
furniture; but the fire and the water together had so
damaged it that it was almost useless for menu.
factoring purposes. At the time when the fire took
place he was insured for 0,000/. Witness admitted in
craw-examination that he had made some overcharges in
estimating for sonic chain and plate glass which had been
destroyed. A mar of eVilt.'nCe was then adduced for the
plaintiff, after which Mr. ()venal addressed the jury for
the defence, contending, and calling witnesses in support of
his statements, that there was not only gross eoaperation
on the part of the plaintiff as to the extent of the damage
from fire and water, but that there was a mierepreseutation
which onionoted to fraud with regard to the amount of
timber ow the premises at the time of the accident. This
being the case, it was most important that the defenclaots
should resist this claim, else they would be subjected by
other pasties in future to all kinds of extortionate and
illegal demands.
After the evidence for the defence had been heard,
The jury found for the plaintiff, damages ',MOW.
This case closed the *mites.

The prisoner was accordingly remanded.

steeling a quantity of railway bills from the (Aces of the
Great Northam Hallway' Hing's-orms.
The defendant denied stealing the bills in question. He
said be had been eagaged by a person who describedself as a clerk on the railway to deliver the bills to the
public.
The magistrate was not satisfied with the account given
RS to the possession of the bill; and fined Williams 20s. for
not being able to give a satisfactory account of how the bills
came into his resnession.
Helen Peal was committed to prison for two months for
stealing a lady's reticule from a stationer's shop.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Henry James Duran, Hairy Hamilton, and James God-
dard were re-examined before Mr. Yardley, on the charge
of feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house and
cloth warehouse of Mr. William Frederick Weedon, 49,
Warwick-street, and stealing therein 340 yards of cloth in
pieces; of the value of 232/. 15.. 4d.
The ease has already appeared, but it may be stated briefly
that this was a robbery alleged to have bees committed on
the morning of the 21st inst., the place being catered by
false or skeleton keys, and door and desks in the shop
broken open. The warehouse was some time afterwards
discovered in the utmost state of confusion, and the large
quantities of cloth alluded to found to have Leon stolen.
The police hearing of this extensive plunder actively set to
work under the direction of Inspector Holden. and were
ambled shortly to recover the whole of the property and
apprehend the men now charged with the felony. On the
present occasion Mr. J. T. Wilson, of Wandiworth, ap-
peared for Gi alibied and Hamilton.
The depositions taken on tho first hearing having been
read over, some additional evidence was given ; and Mr.
Wilson said on the part of his clients he should reserve his
defence.

Duval mid he should say nothing now.
Bail was offered, but refused ; and the prieouere were
ememitted for trial to the Central Criminal Court.

WESTMINSTER.

On Saturday the RAT. Henry Holloway, a clergyman of
the church of England, and stated to have been formerly
chaplain to the Hospital of BL Cross, Winchester. was
charged with stealing a reticule from the first-class waiting-
room of the Chatham and Dover Railway, Victoria-station,
Pimlico. From the evidence then adduced it appeared that
luiving bad a conversation with another person upon the
subject of the prisoner's coming to the station, Mr. James
Broderick, the station-mister of the London, eetham, and
Dover Railway, placed a reticule in the first-class waiting-
room on the previous evening while the prisoner was there
and shortly afterwards it was missed. Prisoner was then
followed out, and upon being asked whether he bad any
objection to a large leathern bag which he carried with him
being searched, replied, Not the least," when,
upon its being opened, the reticule was discovered.
and prisoner declared ho was not aware that
it was there. In answer to the char,e when before the
magistrate, the accused said that he bed' pet a number of
papers out of his lag in the waiting-room, and having occa-
sion suddenly to leave it, requested a gentleman who was
with him there to replace them in hi, bag, and the gentle-
man must also have put the reticule in, considering it he.
longed to him. A gentleman having spoken to the high
character of the accused, he was remanded upon bail until
yesterday.
Mr. Stammers, barrister, then attended on his behalf.
Mr. Carpenter, superintendent of the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway police, conducted the prosecution,
in the absence of Mr. Faithful!, the solicitor of the company.
He bad, he said, four fresh charges of felony against the
accused, but the prosecutors in three of the cases were out
of town ; one was in Italy, a second at Jersey, and a third
at Paris. Mr. Bent, of she South Western Railway, was
present to give evidence respecting a bag stolen from ono of
the stations on that line.

Mr. Arnold inquired whether the officer was prepared
with any further evidence upon the present charge?
Mr. Carpenter replied he had evidence to show that the
defence set up was false —that no other person bad been
in the waiting-room.
Mary Ogden. ladies' waiting.room attendant, said the
room adjoined the gentlemen's first-class waiting room. Last
Friday evening, between six and seven o'clock, Inspector
Grave willed her attention to a gentleman whom lie sus-
pected (the prisoner) in the first-clam waiting mom. She
watched him, and there was no one in the room but him-
self. Tho reticule was on the mantel-piece, and when she
first saw prisoner he was sitting at the other end of the
room with his bag near him. He then moved his bag scrum
the table to the fireplace, and she maw him opeu his hag.
She went out and communicated what she Lad seen to In-
spector Grave.
Inspector Grave of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway , said that at half-past fi on the evening in question
be maw the prisoner is the booking.othoe, sad kept an eye
upon him until the departure of the 6.40 tram. Prisoner
then went into the funt-clasa waiting-room with • bag and
umbrella. Witness asked him whether he had rnial his
train, to which he replied. " No, I am waitiug for a gentle-
man going to Canterbury." Witness informed him that the
last train for the night to Canterbury bad gone. Prisoner
then expressed an opinion that his friend would go by the
9o'clock train to Feverhhara, when WlLUditg said he could
not, as the train did not proceed beyond Chatham. On the
10th of this month prisoner told him a similar tale. Sus-
pecting the accused, witnem gave information to Mr. Brode-
rick, the station master.
_ . .

Cioss.examined--I saw prisoner on the 10th. I had par-
ticular reasons for observing him. it was not dark in the
waiting-room; there was good davlight. Mn. Ogden was
acting under my instructions. It had bean arranged that
the reticule should be put on the mantelpiece while pri-
soner was there, from suspicions entertained.
Mr. Weisman was called, and said be watched the door of
the first-class waiting-room while prisoner was there, and
no one went in or rant, out. Prieou2r was alone, and when
he went out with his bag witness followed and brought him
back to the station master's other.

Cross-esaniined—He haul not the slightest objection to his
hag being opened, and when the reticule was found be said
be never sew it before in his life.

Mr. Arnold said he should remand the prisoner for a
week.

_
Mr. Stammers called two respectable persons, who pee
prisoner a very good character.
Mr. Arnold refused to take bail for tho prisoner, who
was then remanded till Friday next.

Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. Charks 1 oung, soli•
citor, defended the accused.
