to recover damages for injuries sustained from
kiPkale-dged negligence of one of the defendant's drivers. It
14`tetopi7 that on the 16th of February last, the plaintiff was
Zett:2getupon the roof of the defendant's omnibus, in
he tnn Clayton square,
.and, in consequence of the

-41° WaS attributable either to the driver or the con-

doctor, but Mr. Busby, through his counsel, offered to concede
to a verdict of £lOO, which was accepted, and tho case ter.
minated.

ACTION Pea PALSB IMPRISONMENT.—The plaintiff in
this case was Mr. Gurneys manager of Messrs. Milner's
safe works, Liverpool, and who also keeps a public house
in Rainford Gardens, and the defendant is James Lloyd,
proprietor of a boot and shoe warehouse, in Whitechapel,
and other places. Mr. James and Mr. Simon appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Knowles and Mr. Monk for
the defence. The action was for false imprisonment of
the plaintiff's wife. It appeared from the evidence of
Sirs. Gurney, a respectable, lady-like woman, that on
Saturday, the 21st of July last, after business hours
were over in the public house, she went with her
sister, a Mrs. Dyer, who was on a visit with her, to the
defendant's shop to purchase a pair of shoes for Mrs.
Dyer's baby. They tried one or two .pairs on, and fixed
upon a pair, but as the defendant refused to attach some
buttons to them, they refused to take them, and quitted the
shop. They had not gone far when the defendant ran
after them, pulled them back into the shop, and charged
them with having stolen a pair of shoes. Mrs. Gurney
had a basket in her hand, and the defendant having
alleged that she had them there, put his hand in
it, but found no shoes, He then passed his baud
along the person of both the fehialee, but found
nothing. Mrs. Dyer then pointed to sonic shoes which
lay upon the floors at a little distance near a form, and
she asked the defendant whether those were not the shoes he
k whea he took them up and said, Yes damn you, yeti
have put them there, this is the pair which I wanted." The
defendant then sent for a police officer, and told him that he
had taken the shoes out of Mrs. Gurney's pocket. The
policeman cautioned the defendant not to act rashly, as the
plaintiff indignantly declined taking the chess.
The defendant subsequently said that he did not
take the shoes out of Mrs. Gurney's pocket,
but that he had seen her throw them on the floor on her
return to the shop. The plaintiff told the defendant who
she was, and where she lived, and wished the pence to go
home with her, as she had left the children in bed. The
defendant, however, refused to allow her to do so, and she
was taken to the central police station, and from thence
to the main bridewell, where herself and 111, s. Dyer
were booked by the defendant on a charge of stealing the
shoes. They were locked up the whole of the Saturday
night, and bailed out at about one o'clock on the Sunday:
When the defendant was at the main bridewell the party
who took the charge again cautioned him, stating that he
had known persons to pay heavy damages for making
such charges which afterwards proved to be false. On the
following Monday morning the defendant brought a
charge of felony against them before the magistrates, who
dismissed the case as frivolous. Mrs, Gurney was in the
family-way when taken to bridewell, and the fright and
anxiety of mind, caused by her incarceration, produced
a miscarriage, and she was ill for four months afterwards
and unable to attend to any business. lhe above were
the fat's of the case. Mr. Knowles, in cross elimination
of Mrs. Garney, endeavoured to show that she was
intoxicated at the time she went into defendant's shop,
and that she had been seen in that state in several other•
shops pre►iously. The evidence of the police officer who
took the charge, went to show that she was perfectly
sober, but excited, from the position in which she was
placed, and that Mrs. Dyer cried bitterly. Mr. Ackerly,
the family surgeon, stated that he had no
doubt but the plaintiff s illness had been brought on
from the effect of the treatment she had received and
that she was not subject to miscarriages. Lloyd, the
defendant, his wife, and a shopman, were subsequently
examined, the former and the latter swore that they saw
Mrs. Gurney take the shoes, and Mrs. Lloyd said she
saw Mrs. Gurney kick the shoes from under her on her
second appearance in the shop. Mr. Knowles, for the
defence, urged that the circumstances against the
two females were of a very suspicious charac-
ter, and that the defendant bad done no
more than any other tradesman would have done to protect his
property. After a few words from Mr. James, who considered
that the defence was an aggravation of the offence committed,
his lordship enflamed up somewhat in favour of the plaintiff,
and the jury having deliberated a short time, returned a
verdict for £lO for the loss of services to the husband of Mrs.
Gurney during her illness, and £lOO damages for the false
imprisonment.

A meeting of the Canada Company has been held,
for the re-election of retiring directors, and the
presentation of a report of progress, from which it ap-
peared that from the Ist of January to the 6th instant,
the disposals of land have been 3 684 acres, at an average
of 47s 91 per acre, against 2,853 acres, at 43s 6d, during
the corresponding period of last year. It was also stated
that 27,338 acres have been converted to freehold by the
lesees, at an average of 17s, against 23,481 acres, at
15s 9d, in the corresponding period of 1856. The
receipts show a total of £38,711 against £31,550. The
funds in hand in London are £38,158, and the liabilities
£2,885.
THE HUSSIANS AND THE CHINESE WAR.—The hostilies
in which China is now becoming involved, with one, it' not
more, " barbarian" States, forms a subject of the highest
interest to Russia and the press there ; the very words used
by the leading speakers in the recent debates in our
Houses of Parliament have been faithfully translated into
the Russian journals, with an amount of accuracy and cir-
cumstantiality that hitherto has neverbeenbcstowed on any
foreign discussions. The opinion which the Russians at
first formed, that these hostilities on the eastern coast of
China would lead to an increase of their trade on the
Western land frontier of that empire seems to be
giving way to a lively apprehension that they will
produce the opposite effect ; this is expected to arise, not
so much from the usual impoverishing effects of war, as
from the circumstances that the interruption of the. Chinese
commercial relations with Europe is stopping the import of
silver at the Chinese ports ; the price of silver is already
very high in that country, and there seems now every
reason to expect it will rise considerably higher. The
inevitable consequence of this excessive rise in the price
of silver in China will be, that the Chinese demand in
lCiakhta for Russian merchandise is likely to be very
materially reduced.
