The libel waa then put ha

etnesexamioed by Mr. Jamey —The last time I took the
invent of the act was last year. I obtained the goods from
Mr. Cobbett on the ttrd of July. I was thee living at
No. S. Amershantetreet, New-croft I bail got goods
from Beek and Brothers, upholsterers, of Whiteehapel,

Witness—l forget.
Mr. Javier -How moch do you owe him ?
Kr. James -Did you put him in your schedule ?
Witness—No.
Mr. James—Yon did not even pay him that compliment.
(Laughter.) Where did you nest go?
Witness—To Cliultou, in Kent, where part of Mr. Cob-
lutes goods were. I took part of a house there. I stayed
there for nearly six months. My goods were sold up there.
and I then owed my landlord 21. I bought no more
goods after I left New-crap. I swear that. My
Landlord Wyatt, at Charlton, was inspector of caulkers
in the dockyard. He had a salary of about two guineas a
week sod • shop in the Berlin line. I got him to
...rept bills for me to the amount of 2001. 1 have not pod
Wyatt a shilling of the 2/. He does not require it. Ire is
a relation of mine. I was turned out of the establishn,eut
of Means. Taplin and Co. about March, 1859. The bills
were accepted by Wyatt in 1453. I had been with my
brother, and we quarrelled awl had law proceedings about
my five years' agreement. I offered to settle it for 130/.
After paying costa I got about 60/. When I left Charlton
I went to live with a sister of mine, at 4, Huntingdon-
street, Barnsbury.park. I was doing nothing then.
1 then went to a brother of mine at Man-
chewier, and stayed there about three weeks. I
then went ti lodge with Mrs. Crompton, at 30, North.

Mr. James-3781. lie. 7d.
Mr. Baron Martin—What are the saute !
Mr. James-12/.
A Juror—Was the schedule subsequent to the libel !
Witness—Yes.
Mr. James—But the debts were incurred before. Did
you file another schedule!

Wituem—Yes. I was put into prison. I took the benefit
of the act. My debts were then 2411. I scheduled a Mn.
;atm, of Cluetoont-place. Pentoeville. for 71. rout, but I
bad paid her SOL I bad also lodged at 16, Claremont-plats,
and I owed my landlady them 8!.
Mr. James- Oh, here is another widow my friend Mr.
Hawkins has found—(laughter)—Mn. Pheasant.
Wituess —She was the landlady at 16, Claremont-place,
and had removed to Regent-street. Under my bankruptcy
my certificate was suspended for six months for reckless
tradingg. It was not for fraud. I swear that.
Mr. James—Now, look at this hilt Did you get it dis-
counted by Messrs. Kamp and Clay
Witnem—My clerk did for me. The man who accepted
tide bill was named James Smith, and it it addressed to him
at Bath. He had a house at Bath, and was in my service.
It is payable at Smith, Payne, and Co.'s. I knew he had
Ino account there. I got him to accept bills to the amount
of 301 Y., which I got discounted by Kemp and Clay. I had
' a banking account with Roberts and Co. 1 endorsed the
bill after Smith had accepted it. Smith did not live at
Bath ; he had a house there. Over my signature in this
' bill there are the word.. " The Scotch and 1 orkshire Spin-
ning Company." I called my house in Wool-street that—
Baughteri—to dish:l4ll'h it from my brother'..
r. James— What did you spin? (Laughter.)
Witame—A good many carpets. I addressed this bill to
Mr. Wyatt, at Poetess. He was the dockyard nun.
lail.nghter.) He accepted Use bill payable at Williams,

My clerk intimated be shoakt so accept it. That was with
my knowledge.
' Mr. Baron Martin—What did you pay your creditors
ander your bankruptcy
Witame—Oely fa. thL ; the rest was eaten up.
Mr. Junes—Did you hear the judgment of the com-
eakaloner ?

Wither—Yes. and Mears. Kemp sad Clay swore I took
them the bills and represented them m trade tells ; but I
sweet I never west to them ; my clerk took the bills.
When I went to Mr. Stubbs he said he would not insert
anything for annovance, and inquiry should be made, but it
never was. He also said that If it were inserted from
malicious motives he should strile the name of the sub-
scriber inserting it off the list. I am sow in the employment
of Mr. Cletuentsou, of Gresham-street, ea commission
agent. After I left my brother I was in the employ of Mr.
Davidson. 1 left that service in consequence of the libel.
I swear that he did not previously tell me he did not want
inc. and would not have me about the place any longer.
Mr. Davideon advanced me 21.31. on the furniture on which
Tingey had advanced rif. He knew that Tingey had made
in advance. I told him the furniture was worth 90!.
Iravidnin did sot charge me with fraud is obtaining the
advance from him. He never found fault with me for it.
Ke.examined—The agreement with my landlord at Amer-
shato.street was that the house s_
ook! be papered and
punted, but he did not tarty out his agreement. I brought
an nether against my brother under my agreement with
him, which was set down for trial at Croydon. It was
settled by him for IN.. and 75f. costs. When I was arrested
at Mr. inelike's office, I petitioned the court sod wee dis-
charged. Mr. Gobbet' did not oppose me. I put dims the
case of my ill10:•CDC, to being unable to attend to ben-
Dem is 0011019USOC.. of a ntilway accident. When the libel
was published I was doing a commission, hut was not in
presthrousservice, and was endeavouring to Letter my.
self. My swims under my bankruptcy. if no legal expenses
Ihad been incurred, would Mire been 10a. in the pound.
This closed the care for the plaintiff.

Yr. Edwin Jamie then addressed tbs jury for the defence,
contending that the defesdant's paper was carried ou with
dis strictest hollow and iategrity, and that he had acted
hash ids in issorting the libel complained of, at the M-
I dense of ens ot the subscribers. Having severely com-
mented es On plaintiff 'I comes of life, the leased oounael
welled
Mr. aortas Edwin Stubbs, examiesd by Yr. Hawkins
—I am the proprietor of the journal. Part of the object is
to obtain the names and addressee of parsec. for legitimate
purposes. Every ressonahls *airy is made Wen the

inquiry is inserted. The Ga:rtte is only mipt.liol to sub.
them When the plaintiff called on me he nail I had
imerted his name in the swindling information, which is
ditterent department altogether. He brought me the
Gaultr, and I saw it was amongst the aildresees wanted.
He said be thought his relations had done it to annoy him.
I a 4 I would institute log: hies, and if that were so I
would strike the name of tLe subscriber off the list. I
made inquiries, and found the insertion wan made In onler
~f Mr. eobbett, who was AUNilkUll to recover a debt. I
told the plaintiff the person who hail inserted it would
meet hint at my office. I serer told the plaintiff I wa..
indemnified—nothing of that sort.
Examined hy Mr. &riser Shee—We have upwards of
*UM subscribers. We call ours an imditution.

Mr. Serpent Shoe —The t:resham•street and London In-
stitution, the same as other people call themselves the
Scotch and Yorkshire Spinning Company. (Laughter.)
Mr. Edwin James (holding up a copy of the Guatt()—
Thi..e are the yarns you spin. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Cobbett, upholsterer, at Dep►ford, examined by Mr.
Keane— I bad known the plaintiff as a partner in the firm
of T.qilin and Co. When I supplied him with the furniture
be lad me to suppose he was still with the firm, or I would
not have given him credit. It was to Le a cash traawc•
tion. Nothing was *all about credit. In a few weeks I
sent for the money. and not being paid I afterwards brought
an action against him. My solicitor could not discover his
address. An execution was issued which did not produce
this amount of the debt. It produced nothing to me except
s Liwyer's bill. I caused inquiries to be made for the plain.
tirs whin,. with the view of arresting him. Ido not
remember that the plaintiff made me nay offer to return
the goods. A letter to Stubbs' office, directing inquiries
to be made, was written by niy authority. I never was
asked for an indemnity by the defendant, nor (lid I offer it.
A juror—My lord, the jury think we have had enough of it.
Mr. **eat Shea—l must ask them to hear a few words
from me.

sarni continued—l directed the arrest of the
plaintiff to be made.
Fruw-exaniined by r.Serjeant Shea—Thinking the plaintiff
was at Taplin and Co.'., I let Lim hare the goods, but I
will is.sitively swear withiEg was said about credit. I did
not enter into any guarantee with Mr. Stubbs on becoming
• subscriber.

A clerk of Messrs. Tingey. the inansget of the Pantechui•
con in Tottenharrocourt.road. proved that the plaintiff took
the goods there on the 24th of September, end received an
advance of :tl/, on them ou the 4th of October.

^Ml7i:it. Kemp of the firm of Kemp and Clay. hill
brokers, proved that he bad advanced Iho/. on two bills,
which he believed had been brought by the plaintiff, and
out by his clerk. Witness believed he advanced the money
to the plaintiff himself. The acceptors of both the bills
were men of straw, and had no banker's account.

Mr. Davidson der;osed that the plaintiff wasliThis employ,
and it vraa not true, as sworn by the plaintiff. that he had
not told him he was no woe about the place before the
publication of the libel. He had frequently told the plain-
tiff so.

_r.
This closed the defendant's case, when the learned counsel
on loth sides addressed the jury.
Mr. Baron Martin, in anointing up, said that if they were
satisfied that the plaintiff was improperly concealing him-
self from hie creditors, then he should tell them that the
defendant had succeeded in making out a justification of the
libel, for the publication was a libel. It was the duty of
the defendant to satisfy them that he had made out his
justification, and if he failed in that., then they should find
for the plaintiff, with such damages as they thought
proper
Mr. Serjesnt Shire- I submit there is no proof of the
plaintiff having kept out of the way.
Mr. Baron Martin-1f I ant wrong you can correct my
ruling.
The jury then found a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Fes. 7.
(Ware the Judie Ordinary.)

SB.UWOIRTH V. MILTON AND 8.1.1M-151MCIAL JURY.

The testatrix in this cause was Mrs. Helen Shadiurth,
late el Hell, 11$0 died on the sth of April last, leaving
property worth about 7,0001. On the 27th of the previous
January she bad executed •will of which probate in the coin.
MOD form had been taken out by the defendants. The
plaintiff war Mr. Thomas Muter Madfortb, one of her SOU,
and he prayed that the probate might be revoked on the
puns' that the testatrix was not of testamentary capacity,
and also that the instrument in dispute had been procured
by the undue influence of Mrs. Burton, the wife of one of
the defendants. The deceased left two sons, the plaintiff
and a sou named William George; and she had also two
sisters, Mrs. Burton and Miss Wilkinson. About fifteen
years before, however, she had had another son acci-
dentally shot, and in 1854 her favourite daughter
hail died. Her health had long been infirm.
The will was drawn by Mr. Thompson, of Hull,
solicitor, sod was attested by that gentleman and by the
Rev. Mr. Lester. It bequeathed the interest of the pro-
perty to the two sons, with remainder to their children.
if any, and to her sisters in the event of her sons leaving
no issue. This disposition had been adopted, as was alleged,
on account of the dissatisfaction which the testatrix felt at
the conduct of her eons. The only pretext for the plea of
incapacity was the gloomy view which the deceased, always
of a melancholy temperament, hail latterly taken of her
spiritual estate.
Mr. Hawkins. Q.C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Manisty, Q.C., Dr. Twin+, Q.C., and Mr.
C. Pollock for the defendants.
At the close of the defendants' case the plaintiff &ban-
domed his suit, and coats not being asked for.
Sir C. Crouse!' said that he would abstain from condemn-
ing the plaintiff in them, but he must say that it was Amorist
wanton and uniustifuble piece of litigation. He had been
afraid that the case would turn out as it bad, from the
temper which bad been displayed in the various inter-
locutory motions which had been made in the progress of the
suit.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE

RieAard Corrie Bathe, who was formerly one of the
members of the Court of Common Council, representing the
ward of Langbourne, and who was supposed to be a man of
considerable influence and position in the City of London,
was yestenley brought before Alderman Sir It W. Carden,
for re-examination upon the charge of embezzling a large
sum of money, estimated at nearly 7,000/., belonging to
Mrs. Elizabeth Tall, the proprietress of an extensive rope
and twine manufactory' in Fenchurch.street.
It will be recollected that at the former examination it
was proved that the prisoner had the entire management of
the business, received a large salary, nod that the greet-
est coofithinee was placed in him. The evidence went to
show that for a series of years the prisoner had been carrying
on a rippled. system of plunder, by falsifying the entries in
the books, and not paying in the full amount' of cash to the
bankers ; and by these proceedings it would seem that he
succeeded in defrauding the setabliihment of many thou.
sands of pounds. Sonic preliminary evidence only was taken
up.o the former occasion, and the prisoner was remanded,
in order to afford au opportunity for bringing forward the
necessary witnesses.
Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner
for the prisoner.
Mr. F. Whimsey was again examined, and said that on
the 11th January he had an interview with the prisoner in
the counting-house of Mrs. Tull, Fenchurch-street. He
told him there were great discrepancies in his accounts, and
at the same time handed him the cash-book and asked him
to attest the addition of a particular page, and gave him
page 3$ of the cash-book-, marked A, which on casting up be
said wasl66f. 16s. ed. short cast. He then pointed ont severel
other pages, which he added up, and said they also
were wrong cast. He then Raked him if be could give
any explanations respecting these skortcastings, to which the
;almoner replied that he could not. He then told him that
there were other pages which were short cast besides those
to which be had called his attention, and which he, witness,
bad corrected. He told him that there were also great dis.
crepancies in the shop cash-book, that there was consider-
able difference between the amounts noticed as received
over the counter and those entered in the cash-book as
having been paid into the bank. He asked if he could give
any explanation, and he said be could not. He then told
the prisoner that he should be most willing to go over the
hooks with him at his (witness's) office. The prisoner asked
him what amount he claimed, and be told him distinctly
to understand that he claimed nothing. The prisoner
told him that he had lost about 2,000/. by one of
his relatives, but wham asked what that had to do
with the deficiencies of his accounts he said he did not
know. He (witness) then asked him if there were not 10
t..os of hemp belonging to Tull and Co. lying at Watkins'
Wharf, and he said " He asked him were the delivery
order was, and he replied that it was at the City Hank,
where he had deposited it as • security for a hem of 100/.
The order wee, free mid, originally for :t tons, but 750/. of
the amount bad been paid off, so that 21 tons had been re-
leased. The delivery order was in the name of the broker,
but he had endorsed it to him (the soner). He at first
said that the firm had received the benefit of the loan, and
on witness asking him to show the entry in the cash-book of
the firm he referred to a black memorandum book, which
he said was a duplicate of his own book account at his own
bankers, and he then said that be olid not think the firm
did have the benefit of tlie loan. On the Saturday follow-
ing he ram the pro caner at his (witness's) office*, and he
remained there during the day going through his
books. He asked him if he could then account
for the dinzepaocies, and he said he had been checking
some of them with his own private cash-book.
He had only checked two or three ' • hut the first one he
found he had paid into his own banksr's, viz., Messrs. Han-
kers, and showed him the item in his own book—it was
ism ma. ed.- -the shorteasting of page 3A, book A. On
looking at that. he (witnees) saw another one, vie, Mrs.
Tall, 22/. 13e. 6d., 011 the debit side, and asked the pri-
soner the meaning of it, and be replied that he supposed he
had borrowed that amount from the till.

Croes.eminnsed by Mr. Woutner—The pruoner had given
to me an account of moneys which he bad paid by cheques
for the benefit of the firm ; bet I don't remember anything
being said about that in the converiation I have related.
One total of the sums he had paid was 14,8851. 15e. act,
and another was 30.12/. lls. ld., which Mande' a Induce
which had be.. brought forward of 3501. Os. 6d., ad also
includes alleiher sum of 600/., which he told me he had not
paid. It comnienced is January' 1857.
On Wag maxamised by Mr., Lewis, the witness said—

Those payments, with the exception of 479/. ifm. 9d., an
not in either of the cash-books. On going through the cash-
books be found severel sums Dot canted out in the addition
column, and not paid into the bankers ; and on asking the
prisoner for an explanation, he referred him to a red
book an containing an explanation of these sums, and, aa be
understood, as being another cash-book of the firm, as it
refers to the folios in the firm's ledger, so that it was the
firm had two cash-books and two bankers. There was only
one amount not belonging totbe firm, he told witness he had
borrowed from Messrs. Hankey. The whole of the amount
entered in the account as sums received by the prisoner for
accounts due to the firm was 17,41 t!. 10a. 2d., which
ought to have been entered in the regular cash-book of the
firm. The payments were lees than the receipts by 418/.
3s. 11d. On the debit side of the red cash-book, in addition
to the amount borrowed from Messrs. Hankey, there was a
sum of 5001. borrowed from Mr. Baxter, of which 250/. was
entered as repaid. It woe not borrowed by the firm, other-
wise the deficiency would be 668/. 3s. 111, instead of 418/.
3s. 11,1.

Mr. Alfred Austin, clerk in the War-office, produced
from the Orduance Department four cheque., for the re-
spective amounts of 4451.95. rd. 57/. Plc 7091. ss. 11d.,

May 14, and produced the receipt for that amount
signed by Mr. Baxter, and said—The cheque produced was
given in payment of hat account.
Thomas White, clerk to Mmirs. Pickford and Co., pro-
duced an invoice for Mt. lls. 6.1. for goods supplied by
Messrs. Tull, which was paid on the sth January, and re-
ceipted by Mr. Baxter.
Mr. Archibald Baxter, clerk to Messrs. Toll, said on the
541 January, 1859, he received the cheque for 33/. 148. lid.
from Messrs. Pickfonl and Co.,and banded it to the prisoner,
as well se 171. 15s. from Messrs. Philip and Wigan, and
1101. Ids. from Messrs. Lendall and Co., which he also
handed to the prisoner.
Mr. Whitley, of the firm of Ridley and Whitley, floor-
eleth manufacturers, produced a cheque for 14/. 55., which
was given in payment of an account to Messrs. Tull, and
which had been passed through Messrs. Hankeys.
Mr. Lewis said be bad completed the case aa far as he
could for that day, and applied for a further remand.
The prisoner was remanded accordingly.
Mr. Lewis said that Mr. Baxter in the employ of the
firm, wished it to be understood that he did not lend the
5001.

Solomon Hales and Loris Beall were charged, the former
with stealing, and the latter with receiving, knowing them
to have been stolen, a quantity of engravings, to the amount
of 1,0001.
Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution.
Mr. Solomon Marks said he was a printseller, carrying on
business at 11, Blinoriea The prisoner Hales was in his
employ as frame maker, and had access to all tarts of his
business premises for business purposes. Since he had
taken stock at Christmas last he bed missed prints from his
shop to the value of 1,0001. from information he bad re-
ceived he went to the prisoner Brall's house, iu company
with an officer, and there found a large quantity of engra.
vinp, between two and three thousand, and when asked
how he accounted for them, he said be had bought
some of the prisoner Hales and some he bought at different
auctions, but he could not say when or where. Amongst
those found on Brall's premises were a number of which no
one but he (the prosecutor) bad the plate. end he was quite
sure he had not sold them to Hales. He had seen a number
of his prints lately, which be was selling at U. Is., in shop
windows, marked 4s. and Si.

Wm. Maguire, errand boy to Mr. Marks, said the prisoner
Hales had on several occasions latterly been to the shop
with his horse and cart, and had several times sent htm out
of the shop for something, sometimes to get a ball of string,
at others to go and tell his master that he (Hales) wasthere.
Anthony Wilson Monger, detective, who went to the
prisoner Brall's house vnth Mr. Marks, corroborated that
gentleman's statement, and

danger from their stable companions, and it looks very like
the race lying between the three "parties" above men-
tioned, the King of Kent's stable being the most dangerous,
when possessing such a pair as Manut-Arms and Chre
Arnie.—l ant, Kc., METEOR.
