•CONSENTS TO JUDGMENT IN COUNTY COURT CASES.
—A notice of no small importance to litigants in our
County Court was yesterday posted up on the walls of
the passage leading to the court. As it may be useful
to give it every possible publicity, we append a copy of
the notice. It runs as follows :—" Consents to judg-
ment, under sections 8 and 9 of the lath and 14th Tic.,
cap. 61, may be taken at any time before the return day
of the summons by defendants alone, in the presence of
the registrar or one of his clerks ; or by plaintiffs and
defendants, in person, on application at the office No. 6,
where forms of consents may be obtained."

EMIGRATION TO PERU.—S. Walcott, Esq., the
Secretary of her. Majesty's Free Emigration Commis
sioners, has found it necessary to issue a caution on the
above subject, to emigrants throughout the country.
generally, but more. particularly to intending emigrants,
in Ireland, where the desire on this matter is so prevalent.
Parties, to suit their own private ends, have falsely and,
wilfully put forth that free emigration is now open to
Peru, and are holding out inducements of free grants of
lands, &c., to entrap and ensnare the unwary. Such,
we understand, is not the fact.

COUNTY-COURT, YESTERDAY,.—(Before Jas. Kennedy
Blair, Esq.)—The court was exclusively engaged yester-,
day in disposing of a number of claims preferred against'
various parties by the Adelphi Loan and Discount Com,:
pany. Mr. Ellison appeared in support of the
and the company was professionally represented by Mr.
Rime. There were 94 cases altogether, and, with one
exception, the claims were all allowed. The single ex-
ception referred to a case in which it was ascertained
that the claim had been previously made in the Court of
Passage. A verdict was on that occasion obtained
against the defendant, but it was alleged that the execu-'
tion was insufficient oven to pay the costs of the action.
—Mr. Blair held that the present claim could not be'
sustained under the circumstances, and it was accord-
ingly withdrawn.

THE GRAND FANCY DRESS BALL IN ST. GEORGE'S-'
HALL.—The committee for conducting the grand fancy
dress ball, which is 'to be given in`St. George's-hall, on
Tuesday, the 14th instant, in aid of the funds of some
of our most deserving local charities and the National
Life-boat Institution, have now nearly completed their
arrangement and we may safely assert that the ball
will assuredly be one of the most brilliant ever given in
this part of the country. At 'all times a lane), dress ball
is one of the most brilliant sights, in the. world, and :in
England they are also very rare,. so that 'when such a fete
takes place in a vast and gorgeons salle tie dance like our
unequalled St. George's-hall-. the scene unusually
gorgeous and enchanting. On the present occasion, not
only will thete be a magnificent display of fancy dresses,
the dale d'tertvre of the world-.famoris Nathan's,'
Simmons', &c.,—not forgetting our own Jeffries '(of the
Theatre Royal),—but a varied acid unequalled display of
uniforms, as there is every reason to anticipate the
