LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco )

(13efore Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Cole-
ridge, Mr. Justice Wightznan, and Mr. Justice
E trle.)
SWEARING IN THE NEW JUDGE-LORD CAMPBELL'S

by police-sergeant Egerton, No. 24 11, and she declared
that she never took auy tiling belonging to her em-
ployers in her life. 0:1 being
conveyed to tlie station
house, she raid "I may as well tell the truth. Mary Worth
took three pairs of goloshes, and some alpaca to make a
dress and a.cape for herself, and I took one pair of
goloshes." Maria Hyde, the cid woman's daughter,
proved that she pawned a silk waterproof coat and silk
cape one day for 12e., and a silk coat on another
day for Bs., and received the garments -from the pri-
soner. Three waterproof coats; a cape, and a pair of
goloshes were produced by several pawnbrokers' assist-
ants, and were identified by Mr. Langdon, who said
they were worth 61., and had been stolen from a ware-
house to which the prisoner had access. The prisoner
had only been in his employ 6 weeks. He and his partner,
Mr. Spill, had lost an immense deal of property,
and he attributed the plunder going on upon his pre-
mises to the ready facilities offered by pawnbrokers for
the disposal of the property. The prisoner said she was
guilty of stealing the property, and that she would not
have taken any of her employer's property if she had
not seen others do it. The prosecutors suspected that
the prisoner had been made a dupe of by the old woman
Hyde, who had actually robbed the girl of her purse,
containing 10g. ed. in money and two gold rings. Mrs.
Hyde had pawned the rings ; and the duplicate of them,
the purse, and 6s. 61 was found in her possession by
Egerton, who was ordered to detain them.

as

Police Serjeant Egerton, No. 24 H, stated that since
the last examination he had made inquiries and ascer-
tained that the prisoner's mother was a person of very bad
character ; that her daughter had been industriously em-
ployed for many years in several factories and
workshops, and that she had been made the dupe of her
mother and the woman Hyde. The girl had maintained
an honest character until she went to lodge with Mrs.
Hyde. Messrs. Spill and Langdon were inclined to
take the prisoner into their employ again.
Mr. Ingham directed the prosecutors to be sent for,
and Mr. Spill, jun., arrived soon afterwards, and said
that he would take the prisoner into his employ again,
and believed she had been made the dupe of others.
Mr. Ingham said there was no doubt, from the infer-
magon received by him, the prisoner had been made
the instrument of her own bad and dishonest mother
and another woman. He would remand her for a few
days to give her time to reflect on her conduct, and to
enable Egerton to provide her with a respectable lodg-
ing away from her bad associates. He remanded the
prisoner until Wednesday next.

PREFERENCE SHARES.

Pm

SAVAGE ASSIIILTS.—IViIIiam Dyson, aged 47, a
lighterman of No. 1, May's-plant, Lime-house, way
brought before Mr. Ingham charged with assaulting
Mr. William Fox, of No. 2, Oxford-street, Stepney, and
James John Bateman, of No. 13, Rutland-street, com-
mercial travellers.

Mr. Fox stated that he was passing along High-street,
Shadwell, in company with his friend last evening, and
were talking about the state of the weather and the bad-
ness of trade, when the prisoner run against him or he
against the prisoner, who immediately attacked him in
a furious manner, and struck bun repeatedly about 01(
face, and cut him severely. He was knocked down and
kicked, and his nose was injured.

Mr. Bateman aid he went to the rescue of his friend,
and was instantly assaulted by the prisJner.
Mr. Ingham fined the prisoner 153., which he paid.

SEAMEN'S WAGES—THE SHIP VIENNA.—Two seamen
belonging tothe ship Vienna lying in theriver, again came
before Mr. Ingham this morning for his advice. The)
bad obtained orders from Mr. Yardley for the payment
of 51. each for their services for " a run" from Llanelly
to Lindon, but when the orders were served on the
captain he produced the ship's articles, from which it
appeared that the men had not signed for the " run" t.
London, but that the agreement expressed the vogage
was to terrainats at a loading port in the north. Tht
seamen then complained that they had been detainee
here a fortnight, to which the captain repliel that h•
was looking for freight.

Mr. Ingham said the captain was bound by the agree-
ment to proceed at once to a loading port in the north,
and that if he took in another cargo here he was bound
to discharge tha seamen and pay them 51. each.
The captain on this said he would sail on the fol-
lowing day. The seamen now stated that Captain
Barton, the master of the Vienna, discharged them
yesterday, and would not take them to the north.
Mr. Ingham—You were b. fore me on Thursday

morning.
The seamen—Yes, sir.
Mr. Ingham—l told the captain he must either dis-
charge you here or proceed immediately to the north.
The seamen—He has discharged us, and paid Ili 51.
each, but he won't pay us for the detention in London.
Mr. Ingham—What detention do you mean I
The seamen—We have been here a fortnight.
Mr. Ingham—l can't help you, indeed. - I think you
are very well off. You have been paid 5/. each for th,
" rue from Llanelly to London and a fortnightuha Lon-
don, and you have not made a very bad bargain.
The seamen said it was a hard case upon them, and
left the court much disappointed.

THE FOREIGN DEBT OF NFN' GRANADA.

The committee of Spani,l3 American bcndholdcr., have
ru ,iislied, ir. anticipation of the meeting to b? ht H on
Monday next, a report on the foreign debt of New Gra-
nada. There is a very voluminous correspondence, and
we regret to find that the report will prove anything but
satisfactory to the body of bondholders. The committee
conclude their statement by the following remarks :
"From the foregoing statement it will be observed, with
a painful feelng of disappointment, that, notwithstanding
the exceedingly btrge and liberal sacrifices made by the
bondholders in the year 1845, - to meet the convenience of
the Government of New Granada, under the strongest as-
surances that the punctuality of the Government might be
relied upon, the engagements then solemnly concluded have
not been respected by the Government of New Granada.
" The question may well be asked—Why have these en-
gagements not been performed ? The answer is--because
the Government of New Granada, after having hypothe-
cated certain branches of its revenue to the discharge of
these obligations, has appropriated that revenue to its own
uses without regard to that hypothecation. If the ono-
half of the duties of Customs had been applied to
the payment of the interest en the Foreign Debt no arrear
thereof would have arisen. The consideration, then, ne-
cessarily presents itself—whether the bondholders, after
submitt"ng to great sacrifices in obtaining anaajustment of
this debt in 1845, are to see the conditions on which they
made those sacrifices put aside by one of the contracting
parties for its own convenience without regard to the in-
terests of the other ?

"It is obvious that such a mode of proceeling cannot
be sustained for 'a moment. The Government of New
Granada, in several conferences which have passed be-
tween it and the agents in Bogota since the restoration of
tranquillity, appeals to the unfortunate existence of civil
war, during a portion of the period in question, as an ex-
cuse for the non-performance of its eaga,rements ; but,
looking to the period of time during which the arrear has
accumulated, it does not appear to the committee that times
of tranquillity have been much more favourable to the dis-
charge of these obligations than the absence of them. Her
Majesty's Government has on a recent occasion, when a re-
vclutiori broke out in the Republic of Mexico, caused it to
be notified to the Provisional Government that it con-
sidered the portion of Custom duties of that state which
had been assigned to the payment of the interest on the
foreign debt as entitled to be respected under all circum-
stances, when an immediate assurance was given by the
Provisional Government that the same should be held in-
vi(date and punctually remitted to England. The com-
mittee see no other course to be followed than for the Go-
vernment of New Granada to direct that a sufficient por-
tion of tlie customs revenue shall be remitted by every
, mail to the agents of the New Grenadian Government in
Envland by agents to b 3 appointed by the committee for
I that purpose. -
" With respect to thtife*baeco revenue, which was also
hypothecated to the bendlie!dere, it has ceased altogether
to exist, Tilse.CenigkresS—of New Granada first passed a 1
law abeietting, the monopoly of tobacco, declaring the
callivarion free, and establishing an export duty thereon
to co-nponsate the Government for the loss of revenue sus-
tained thereby. Subsequently the Congress passed a law
abolishing all export duties, thereby annulling this branch
of revenue altogether.
" The position of the Peruvian bonds held in deposit by
the committee will be seen from the correspondence relat-
ing thereto. After the receipt of the last letter from
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. a deputation from the
committee waited upon those gentlemen for the purpose of
inquiring whether, in the event of the committee handing
over the said bonds to them, they were ready to give an
undertaking to apply the said bonds to the payment of
the arrears of interest on the New Grenadian Debt; in
answer to which Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. stated
that they could give no undertaing to do otherwise with
the said bonds than to bold them, subject to the orders of
the Government of New Granada. The deputation then
inquired whether, in the event of the said bonds being so
handed over, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. had re-
eived up to this time any instructions as to the disposal
of them ; in answer to which Messrs. Baring Brothers and
' Co. stated that they had not yet received any such instruc-
tions. Under these circumstances the committee have not
felt themselves justified in delivering up the custody of
these bonds.

" Tho committee cannot but regret that the proceedings
If the New Granadian Government in this matter should
1)o attended with such great delay. The Government has
now for a long period ceased to make any remittances to
~his country for the payment of the interest on this debt,
And now, when a fund is forthcoming, out of which a por
don of the arrears might be discharged, an indefinite de-
lay unfortunately arises in the application thereof to its
lestined purpose. It will be remarked that this resource
is not derived from any payment made by New Granada,
:t being simply a repayment by the Republic of Peru to
the Republic of New Grenada of a portion of the debt oc-
casioned by the war of independence, forming, in fact,
dart of th• debt which originally constituted the Foreign
Debt of Colombia.

" By ord©r of the Committee.
