Mr. Anderton : The licence was haver forfeited, if it
had been, I should have a record of it in this book,
Inspector Wilson was then recalled, and in answer to Mr.
Simon he said : On the morning of the 2.nd of June, I was
on duty in Lime street. At half-past four on that morning,
my attention was directed to the defendant's house.
I know the house kept by the defendant. It is called the
American Hotel. I have known it for many yeare. Tne
defendant I first saw there about two years ago. I have
seen him acting, as the master since. On the morni; g my
attention was directed to the house from several drunken
persons coming out, and a great noise. I went to the
house. There were some prostitutes there. Inside I saw
the defendant, his wife, seven men, and six -women, four
of them were standing at the counter. All the women
were prostitutes. The parties who ware drinking were thee
drunk I said to defendant, t• You have got a vary bad
house this morning." He did not mike any reply. He
was the worse for drink. I went to the doer, and the
defendant said of one man, " He is drank enough
already." •
Cross examined : The man was very dran'k, and was
staggering along the parapet I was in the house from
there to five micntes. I came along Lime-street from
Elliott-street. The people all went out while I was in. I
had seen two prostitutes go in. I. did not take the man
who was drunk into custody because "ne could walk. I
had no conversation with him, bat I told the defendant
A person might, while he was standing at the counter,
have failed to notice that the man was drunk. I have
seen men much worse. There were some other drunken
people there. I laid the two former informations. I took
a glass up. I will swear that one of the glasses had
whiskey, another port wins, and a third ale. I tasted of
all of them I did nst &r-ant all the glasses, but I only
tasted of four. There were thirteen persenethere altogether
The glasses I tasted of were not full, because when I went
in tie parties drank them off. Mrs. Wickham took the
glasses off the counter. I did not see any coffee in the
house There are constantly trains arriving all night.
By Mr. Simon : I have seen persons mach more drunk
than the man who left.
By the Court : There was not one of the parties in the
house who looked like a traveller.
Police-constable 591 (Stockda'se) was on duty with the
last witness, at the time specified He fully corroborated
the evidence given by him, as to the patti:s present being
drunk.
By Mr. Aserinall : All the searties were not drunk, as
they wa:ked along the street. I have heart a noise at the
Adelphi Hotel on one occasion, but I never saw a person
leave it drunk. I never had occasion to summons Mr.
Radley for anything. If I did see any occasion I should
di so at once Police-constable 303, who was on the
beat, is net present.
Mr. Simon said that was the conclusion of his case.
Mr. Aspinall: Then I submit that there is no case made
ant. The complaint is for knowingly and wilfully permit •
ting drunkenness in his house.
The Recordes : There is sufficient to go to the jury.
Mr. Aspinall then addressed the jury on the part of the
defendant, and in the course of his remarks contended that
no ;h try could find his client guilty on such evidence as
had been adduced before them en that day, the whole of
which rested on the statement of the inspestor, who, from
ought they could tell, had some grudge against the
defendant; and such would seem to be the case, for they
found that he had, on two former occasions, informed
against him, and he had by his statement been convicted
and fined by the magistrates. Oa those occasions it might
be that the ease was heard before some magistrates
who entertained opinions against all public houses, and
would, at the ruin of parties who had embarked all
their capital in such a business, abolish them alto-
gether, for the sake of carrying nut the principles
of the Maine liquor law. He next asked whether it was
likely that the defendant, had ho been ;guilty, would have
appealed to a jury, and thus run the risk of forfeiting his
license, and subjecting himsel to a penalty of £lOO, and
prevented himael from again opening any other house in
England fo- three years. He commented on the non-
production of the license, and added that there might be
some informality in it; and said, notwithstanding the rul
ing of the magistrates, or even authorities higher than
magistrates, ha should leave it to the jury to take the sub-
stantial facts of the case, and form their own common sense
view of the subject. The defendant was charged with
knowingly and wilfully permitting drunkenness in his
house, but on that point there was only the evidence of the
inspector, who, if it had been correct, might have been
corroborated by the constable on duty on the beat on the
night in question,who, if he had been celled, which he was
not, could have told them whether there had beer any dis-
turbance before. He thrn commented on the fact that a
case had been sent before a jury by the magistrates,
and argued that he was quite sure they would not find the
defendant guilty on such evidence, particularly as such a
procedure had never been taken against any other person,
although it was indisputable that in the largest and best
managed hotels in the country, a case could be made out
of persons, nay gentlemen of the h'ghest reputation being
on festive occasions, found in the same state as that
poor man, of whom the inspector had spoken, was.
There was, he said, no proof that the defendant Was
knowingly guilty of the,offence with which he was charged,
but that the person might have been drunk at the time he
entered the house, and, if so, then he must have a verdict
in his favour.
The learned Recorder then summed up the case to the
jury, and, after recapitulating the evidence given by Mr.
Auderton, as to the defendant being a licensed victualler,
as the license itself had not been produced, and left
them to form their own opinion, and say whether
or not he was so licensed, and if so, whether he had
on the occasion on which the information was laid been
guilty of an offence against that license.
In answer to a juror: The Recorder replied that they
would not have to consider whether the defendant had his
house open wrongfully at the time or not, but he believed
that he had the power cf keeping his hotel open at the
time.
The jury then retired and after being absent for about
half an_honr, returned into court, when being informed
by the inspector, that at the time he visited the house
the door was open, gave a verdict of not guilty.
This case excited a considerable amount of interest,
the court being crowded throughout the hearing, which
lasted several hours, by Ilaensed victuallers and others.

On Saturday, a case e' - •
Licensed victualler. ps teaastderable id'portance to the
(after several tnis town, 'came on for hearing,
the Rees. . edzjt`arnrnents), before G. Henderson, Esq ,
?er the Borough, and a respectable jury, at
"sessions then being held in St. George's Hall.
this case, Mr. John Harrison Wickham, the pro-
'pried,:sor cf the Amerierm Hotel, in Lime-street, was the
defendant, and the meg strates of the borough were the
plaintiffs Mr. Aspinall, with whom was Mr. MDonald, in-
structed by Mr. Blitckburst, was for the former, and Mr
Simon, 'instructed by Mr. W)bergh, the Clerk to the
Justices of the Peace, was for the de'endant.
The Ceig; e of the PEACE said, this was an information
against
Mr. John Harrison Wickham, and was brought
under the Licensing Act, for that he had been guilty of at
offence egainet the tenour of his license, by willfully and
knowingly permitting drunkenness in his house in the
"month of June last.
Me Simon was about to open the ease on the part of
`the plaintiff's,
When Mr. Aspinall wished to know e, hether there was
•seuffident facts before the court to show that it hid any
jurihlction. He thought that there were a great many
preliminaries to proved first, and wished to be satisfied
on that poist before the case was put to the jury, particu-
larly as he did not, in that case, intend to admit anything.
Mr. Simon would protest against objet ions being raised
before be had operred the c se—this case had come before
the clue, under the act of parliaments—it was for a third
offence, and with regard to the first and second they had
nothing whatever to do with; as they had been proved
before.
The Recorder said he knew nothing rhateeer of the
case, not erect the names of the parties, and eheuld lik t to
look at the information.
Mr. Aspinall : It is a complaint under a public statute
and must be heard accorAinglte
Mr &aloe : Let ma open the case befcre you make
these o'eiections aed then we shall be able to g t on.
The iiecorder thought that he was bound to hear Mr.
Simone before he tcok the' objections.
Mr &spinal]. was of a different opinion, but would bow
to the decision.
Mr. Simon raid this wee a p-osenution instituted under the
Ale A etsthe 9th of George the 4th c and the 11th and
12th Vic , c. 43,'and in order to make it clear to the court
he thought he had better read the section. He then pro-
ceeded to quote the particular section under which the
phaceediegs were te:iten, from which it appeared, after
stripping it cf itgleg I verbaige e.ndtechnicelitiea that if any
licensed victualler ttd been twice fined before the magis-
trates for any ( fLace against the tenour of his licence, and
had a third igen-nation laid against him, within the
apace of ' three years, he terald have it heard at the
licensing seesiees or before a jury at the see-
gene when if the offence was proved ha would be
liable to a fine of £5O, or forfeit his licence and be liable
to a fine as well. Having particularly directed the atten-
tion of the ccnrt to that part of the section, which showed
'?hat the offence must be against the tenor of the licence,
and as to what that licence was, he said the present corn
plaint was for having wilfully and knowingly permitted
drunkenness in his house, or to assemble and meet therein
for the purpose of getting drunk. In this case it would
-only be necessary that 'he should show that prior to the
present informatian, the defendant had twice previously
teen coreeicted, and that he should fterfher show that on
this particular occasion, wh:ch was the third offence, ttat
on the-2nl of Jane, between four and fiva o'clock in the
morning, thst there were persons there drinking, and
that some of them were evidently (bank at the time. If
he proved these facts he 6hauld be entitled to their
verdicn
The learned counsel for the plaintiff then handed in
certain official documents, from which it appeared, 'that on
the 20. h of March the defendant was fined, before Messrs.
' Anderson anti Dixon, in the seta of £3 and costs.
Mr. Aspinall objected to thatalocument being read; on
the ground that in that coavittion the defendant was
railed "John Wickham," bat that objection was over-
ruled.
The conviction_ for the second offence, on the 30th of
May last, was neat read, from which it appeared that the
defendant, in the name of John Harrison Wickham, was
then fined £5 and costs for wilfully permitting drunkenness
in his house.
Inspector Wilson was then called, and he stated that
he knew the present dsfendact, and that he was the person
named in the two convictions that had just been rend. He
was present when the con-sictions were ordered. The
defendant appeared on each occasion.
Mr. T. M Anderton, the tierk in the Justices Clerks'.
office, was next called. He raid : I was present when the
convictions were made. I heard the magistrates order the
fine. which was paid by the defendant.
Mr A.spinell : Were pan present when the defendant
paid the fine ? The Witness : I know that the fine was
paid, but I do not -know who it was that paid it. He
then produced the information for the third offence,
which should have been heard on the 12th of
June last, before Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Sheill.
but the following was the result of that day's proceedings.
Mr. John Harrison Wickham, the keeper of a public
house in Lime-street. was summoned for permitting drunk
*mess on his premises, on the morning of the 2nd inst
In this case, Mr. AltDanald, barrister, instructed by Mr.
Goodere appeared for the defendants. Inspector Wilson
eta Bi, that at twenty :rheated past four o'clock I was pass-
ing the defendants house, when I saw a member of persons
tweed on-, several of whom were drunk. I and constable
-591 afterwards visited the house, in which we 'found seven
men aad six women ; four of the former, and two of the
latter were drunk. There were glasses of ale and spirits
on the courser. By Mr. arDonald : I did not report two
persons who, I thought, were excursionists, who were
asleep in another room. The landlord ordered all the
parties out of the house. By Mr. Gladstone : I was in
• uniform. Mr. M‘Danald : Did you do anything while you
were looking round the room? Constable: No. Mr.
-.ll.lonald : What, nothing? Constable: I tasted of the
glasses, and while I was there, Miss Harrison said,
you had better have somethicg better than that, you
ha I better have something that is good. I did
taste some wine. I will swear that Miss Hers
!DM dal no, give me a glass of wine, and
what she did give me I d d not d ink. but tasted it, and
put it out of my mouth. Constable 591 was then called,
and he repeated verbatim the same charges as had been
preferred by the inspector. Mr. M•Donald then addressed
the ben-oh on behalf of the defendant, and in the course of
which ho argued that it was scarcely likely that his client,
who had recently given £3,000 for the premises, would
render himself liable to be brought before the magistrates
intentionally. Mr. Wybergh : Has the defendant been
eommated before ? Inspector Wilaon: Yes, twice before
for the. same offence. He was fined £5 last week, and
again in February last. Mr. Wybergh then read the
clause, in the act of Parliament, from which it appeared
that. after a second conviction, it was required of the,
bench to adjourn the case to the next annual sessions, or
to a special sessions, and when the third offence was
proved before either of the tribunals, the defendant was
liable to a penalty of £5O. There being no alternative,
the further hearing of the ease was adjourned until the
next general sessions.
Mr. Aspinall.: Did the defendant appear on that occa-
sion ? The witness: He did by hie attorney.
The recogaisancss then put in by the defendant, agreeing
to appear at the following Session., were also put in and
read.

Mf. Simon : Did,yon know the defendant, then, as a
licensed victualler?
Mr. Lspinall : I <act to that.
Mr. Simon : Was he present when the transfer was made
to him'?
Mr. Aspinall : I also object to that. It caa only be
proved by:Ae production of the license itself.
Mr. hinacn : I have -proved that he was a licensed
victualler, and that two convictions had been made against
him.

The witness was then about to read an entry made in a
hook at the time of the transfer, but
Mr. Aspinall objected, observing that it could only be
proved by the production of the licence, of which no notice
had been given to do.
The Recorder : Such might have been done, but as that
is not the ease, I do not think that I am excluded from
taking other evidence to that fad.
Mr. Aspinall : It is not evidence.
The Recorder : I don't sea how I can shut it out.
The Witness (in answer to the Reciorder): I keep this
book, and I enter the decision of the Bench in it teems-
diattly after it is given.
A lengthy disputation took place as to the admisability
cf the entry being read, but the Recorder overruled Mr.
Asp'nall'e objection, and the witness read the entry, which
was to the effect that, on the 17th of February, 1857, the
I ieease of the house in Licaeutreet was transferred to John
Wickham from de,hn Laeri the elder, and said that on the
occasion the defendant was present in the court, and was
sworn. Be was cross examined by Mr. Aspinall as to his
act tat knowledge of the fact of the defendant being pre-
sent, but the answer given was, that he (witness) knew
that he must have been present and been sworn before the
transfer of the license could have taken place.
Mr. Aspiaall again urged that there was no proof that
the defendant was a licensed victualler, and that, as the
present cosAplaint was for an offence, against the tenor of
his license, it could not be heard unless the license was
produced.
This objection after a long legal argument was over-
ruled by the Recorder, who said that he should, after
the evidence he had heard, that the defendant had had
th.e licence transferred to him, that he had been twice
pengicted, that he was at that time in the house—presume

The demand for money is active, in anticipation
of the 4th of the month, and little or no business is
done, even as regards first-class bills, below the
Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange the rate
for loans on government, securities remains at 4 to
41 per cent. The despatch per the overland mail
caused considerable excitement in the market for
the public funds and securities to-day. Notwith-
standing the telegraphic despatch communicated
an outline of the principal events that had
occurred, the details were eagerly perused by all
classes of the business community, and the atten-
tion of speculators was chiefly confined to the
discussion of the various movements of the
mutineers thereon described. The Bears have
operated extensively for a decline, and the eontinu-
uous fall must be attributed to their transactions,
but when the full particulars were before the
public the retrogression received a tern-
perary check, and upon the announcemet of
the Persia having arrived with £350,000
in specie a reaction seemed to be initiated. Some
of those who betteht at higher prices then realised
their profit, and the Bank return and other favour-
able influences then exercised some influence.
The consequence was that the reduction of 1 per
cent., which occurred earlier in the day, was
recovered, and at the close of business, that is at
about three o'clock, the market among the few who
remained in the City, was considered strong. The
aggregate transactions were above the average
geneeally concluded on a Saturday, and throughout
the day the operators seemed excited, and, in
some instances, undecided how thy should pro-
secute their speculations. The business recorded
in Consuls took place at the following quotations :
—For money 902, 901, and 901 904 ; for account
(September 9) 901, 90Z, 003. 90i-, being 904, 904
" after hours " For the October account the latest
price was 90k, 91. The New Three per Cents. were
dealt in at 901„ 904, 91, the Reduced 90k, 94 and.
the Annuities 2 7-16ths 4.

Jane Carr was remanded on a charge of having
attempted to drown herself by jumping into the river from
the Cobourg Pier, in consequence, as she alleged, of ill-
treatment by her husband.
CURIOUS Loss OF a Pease.—A young man, named
George Hall, a sample clerk in the office of Messrs. Eason,
Barry and Co , was brought up by detective officer Eaton,
on the following strange charge. It appeared that a young
married lady (an American), named Mrs. Wright, was
leaving her brother's cffice, in Hacking Hey, on Wednesday,
when she dropped her purse at the door. It contained
a ten pound no's, and ten pounds in gold, with some
silver. The prisoner picked it up, and at first told several
persons about it, and got a notice posted up in a shop in
Castle. street in reference to it. A. man named Harris told
the fact to the police, but un.il next day there was no
report of the loss. Although <the prisoner acted openly
and honestly at first, it would seem that when an owner
did not at once turn up, he adopted another course, and
was about starting from his lodgings at Stanley for Shef-
field, when he was arrested by the officer, to whom he told
three or four different stories about the affair. He had
been only at Messrs. Easoas's since Monday' He was
remanded to Wednesday.
A Sox PROPERLY PIINISIIE,.—An ill look'ng young
fellow named Robert Lovett, son of Mrs. Lovett, who
keeps an oyster shop in Williamson-square, was charged
with having violently assaulted his mother. The com-
plainant, (who appeared a decent person) face and eyes
were swollen and blackened very much. She said the
prisoner came in at two in the morning, and without any
provocation beat her in the most cruel manner about the
face and body. She had him charged twice before—once
for beating herself, and once for beating his father. Mr.
Mansfield said the prisoner was a most damnable
parricide. He sent him to gaol for six months, and at the
expiration of that time to find two sureties in .C5O each to
keep the peace, or to be imprisoned for an additional six
months.

Respecting the movements in mines during the
week, the Mining Journal of to-day states :-
The increased demand for money, and the unfavourable
news from India, may account for much of the dulness in
the market; and considering these things, and the depres-
sing influence they have upon many speculators, it is
favourable to notice that improvements such as have tran-
spired this week stir up business to the extent they do.
Devon Consols shares have been in request, at an ad:ranee
of from 430 to 460, but the increase in the standard,
affecting, as it does, the profits of this mine more than
any other, few parties seem feel disposed to sell. South
Frances shares have been flatter, at 270 to 280; Basset 225

to 235, and considered cheap. UP
Iff..- ';,ed Mines still in demand
50 to 170, but none °
red. North Roskear shares
have been more in denlacc/. than any other shares, and the
price advanced from I.fn to 125, 130 ; the western part of
the mine still Inv:irons, with a lode in the 164 worth
nearly £lOO her fathom. Holmbash 11 to 2. Kelly Bray
has inIP:O7A, and shares have had quite a run, from and
each to 1, leaving off at 23s to 25e. West Caradon
sharcv, have been in demand at 115 to 120, 125 ; South
Goradon 335 to 345, buyers, but few sellers. llcrodsfoot
share were fiat at 8 to 81, early in the week, owing to
several sellers appearing, but left off at 81 to 8 ; the
reports are favourable, the latest stating that the returns
are likely to increase. Tamar Coniols to 1 ; the
mine is looking much better, and the returns will shortly

increase.
About an average amount of business was done
in the London produce market during the week
but prices were irregular. Early in the week sugar
was in active demand, and a rise of 6d to is per
cwt. took place; but this has not been maintainel,
and a reaction has since occurred. The market
closed this afternoon with a very heavy appearance,
and the inquiry has again become contrasted. The
stock of this article at the close of last week was
62,018 tons against 63,720 tons at the correspond
ing period of 1836. In the refined qualities a
large business has been done, and at one
period a rise of is per cwt was established.
Coffee has been pur2hased rather freely at
an improvement of is pet cwt. ; but the
markets for all the principal staples have now
become heavy. Cocoa was steady, and Tea is firm
at is 241 per lb for common Congou. Rum is
maintained at previous prices ; but Rice is dull,
with some appearance of weakness. 't altpetre has
further advanced, and large transactions have been
concluded, owing to the advices from India. In
Spices the dealings have been very limited, and no
material change has taken place. Tallow has
been dearer, and P.Y.C. on the spot is 62s 61 per
cwt.

_
The improvement reported last week has been
fully maintained in the Leeds Cloth Market this
week, there having been buyers in the town from
all parts of the country, and in several instances
they have purchased to a considerable ez,tent. The
Worsted. Trade at Bradford continued steady, and
for Piece Goods there was not quite such an active
demand, prices not having kept pace with the ad-
vance in the raw material. At Manchester the
transactions for the borne trade have been exten-
sive, but the late advance of id per lb in Cotton,
has, in some measure, compelled manufacturers to
advance rates, and business has been checked.
The advises per the Persia, arrived here to-lay,
come down to the 19th inst. The New York
Money Market was rather more active, and call
loans were current at 7 per cent. for first class sig-
natures. The exchange business remained
steady at 109-1 to 1091 for bilis on
London. The Cotton Market continued very
strong, with a tendency to a further rise. Middling
Uplands could not be baught freely below 15
coats. Prices are now higker than they have been
since 1839, when Middling Uplands touched 16
cents, in consequence of a short crop. The Bread-
stuff trade was dull, and prices rather lower.
Freighzs continued dull, but there was no change
in rates.

A letter from a gentleman in New Orleans to his
brother, has just been placed in our hands, and as
the subject to which it refers becomes more in-
tensely interesting every day, we gladly give it a
place in our columns.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10, 1e57. Yours;per Europa, of
the 18th of July, I have just received. I only write you a
few lines to prepare you for, I am afraid, another short
crop. I wrote you and Mr. F. last week; since then,
matters look still worse—rain, rain, rain. The reports
from all the cot ton regions are generally very discourag-
ing. The plant, as I have long since informed you, is
very backward, and now nearly the middle of August.
There is not, so far as I can see, the slightest chance of
securing any new cotton for some time to come. My own
cotton bowls are in a favourable position, and are as
green as apples, and do net forget that I had the first
blooms. These are undeniable facts. Cotton will open
high, and I believe will keep so throughout the season.
Next week I will write you more fully.
