particulars of each marriage, birth, and death
which can be compared with the facts that
.the
census of 1851 has placed at his disposal. In that
year we find that 154,206 marriages were cele-
brated, so that 308,412 persons were married, or a
number equal to four-fifths of the deaths and to
one-half of the births. Of these marriages 130,958
were performed according to the rites of the
Established Church, 6,570 of the Roman Catholic
Church, and 9,540 of other Christian denomina-
tions, 6,813 being married in Superintendent-Re-
gistrar's offices. Rather more than five per cent. of
the men and fifteen per cent. of the women were,
it would appear, minors, while in 36,186 instances
both husband and wife signed with marks; in
73,141 both wrote their names, and in 44,879 ono
of the parties only signed with a mark. The pro-
portion of bachelors married was 58 per thousand.
The births (615,865) were at the rate of 3.425 per
cent. on the population. Of the entire number
42,000 were born out of wedlock, or nearly 7 per
cent. (the proportion in London being the lowest,
or 4 per cent.). The mortality of the population
was at the rate of 2.199 per cent (the deaths were
395,396, the relative mortality of males and females
being as 2.276 to 2.124). The reader, it is to be
hoped, has by this time resolved to obtain the re-
turn, and if he does so he will find a multitudinous
array of useful information on these important
subjects, tho labour, care, and judgment required
to gather which up and tabulate it cannot but
have been immense.

TYRRELL AND ANOTHER V. THE COHEIIARA MINING

COMPANY.

Mr. Browne applied for a rule calling on the defen-
dants to show cause why the plaintiff :3 should not ho at

liberty to issue execution on a judgment obtained herein
against four gentlemen, shareholders in the company,
which was registered under the Joint-stock Registration
Act. The judgment was for 129/. obtained in August
last, but the plaintiffs had been unable to obtain satis-
faction by an execution against the effects of the com-
pany. His application was for an execution against the
four gentlemen named, who were shown to be share-
holders at the time the judgment was obtained.
Lord Campbell said the practice was to proceed seria•
tim, against shareholders because their position with re-
ference -to the company might be -different in each.
One might not have been a shareholder at the time of
the contraction of the debt whilst another was.

Mr. Browne said he would consider whether he would
take one rule including the four, or a rule against each
of the four shareholders.

THE QUEEN V. GILLING.

Mr. Palmer applied for a certiorari against a magis-
trate of the Isle of Ely, for remanding under a warrant
Thomas Gilling into the custody of the gaoler of Ely.
The warrant was at present in the custody of the gaoler,
and a question arose whether this warrant was of such
a nature as required to be quashed before an action
could be commenced against the magistrate under
it. The sircumstances of the case were these.
Thomas Gilling was an Irishman, and brought
beasts from Ireland to Norwich. On the 22d
September he took a ticket at the Trowbridge station
for London. At Ely he produced his ticket, which the
railway official declared was a false one, and that be was
travelling without paying his fare. lie detained him,
and took him to the police station, where he remained
from that time (Saturday night) till Monday morning,
when he was taken before the magistrate, who remanded
him, on a warrant, till the Thursday following, on which
day he was discharged, it having been shown that he was
travelling with a true and proper ticket. The first ques-
tion was whether such a warrant was the subject of a cer-
tiorari, and, if so, whether under the Act for the Pro-
tection of Magistrates it was such a proceeding as would
need to be quashed.

Punch's Pocket-Book for 1850.
This will be found as useful if not so lively a
companion as some of its predecessors. As usual,
it is divided into two parts—one devoted to the
practical, and the other to the humorous and
satirical—the whole being enlivened by whimsical
or laughter-moving illustrations by Leech and
Tenniel. Tho first pare contains an almanac, a
diary and memoranda for every day of the week,
the names of court and public officers, and of
Peers, Peeresses, and Commons, in connection
with their respective functions, ranks, Sic., besides
a largo amount of business information. Among
the more noticeable contents of the second part
aro " A Quiet Street "—a pandemonium of vocal
and instrumental diz,zcord and dire confusion, felici-
tously depicted in a fly illustration• " The Ro-
mance of a Button "—showing that the insecure
fastening of a button may lead to the most terrible
events. "Plurality of Worlds"— settling the
question by pointing out seine half dozen whose
existence is generally reccgnised. " The Boys in
the Street '—posing and practical. " A Story of a
Lamp "—a Moderateur, offered at 21., and requir-
ing, according to the 'modern trade fashion, some
31. more to sot it a-going. And " The Language
of Flowers"—in which the crabbed Grteco-Latin
nomenclature in vogue among botanists is plea-
santly satirised. On the whole, however, Part 11.
for '56 will, we are afraid, be considered a failure.

Lord Campbell—For what object ?
Mr. Palmer said it was to prevent the railway com-
pany or the magistrate from setting up the authority of
this warrant in an action for damages.

Lord Campbell considered the court should not set
aside the warrant if it was available for any purpose.
Mr. Palmer—The magistrate acted without authority.
Application refused.

IN RE AN ATTORNET.-Mr. Q C., moved for
a rule calling on certain attorneys of this court to an-
swer certain matters contained in affidavit,. The appli-
cant, who was also an attorney, had a debt owing to
him of 1,8151., and ho instructed his agents in London,
who were also the agents of the attorneys in question,
to send a writ to them for execution against his debtor.
The writ was forwarded on the 15th December last,
artived in the country on the 17th, and should have
been served according to ordinary practice the same day.
Instead of that, the attorneys, who were also bankers,
sent for the debtor on the 19th, and, producing a mort-
gage deed, insisted on his executing it in their favour
for 2001. they tad advanced to him. The mortgage was
executed, but afterwards found to be for 3001. instead of
2001. They then served him with the writ, and wrote
the agents saying the debtor had entered an appearance
to the writ to obtain time. It turned out that the at-
torneys in question acted as the debtor's attorney, and
entered the appearance. The result of these proceedings
had been to inflict a loss of 2001. on the attorney com-
plaining.. A correspondence without prejudice had taken
place between the parties, which accounted for the delay
of the application.

The important clasg for which this annual is
especially designed will find in it a vast amount of
information, more or less necessary for their guid-
ance towards the profitable cultivation of the soil
and the breeding of stock. A more useful com-
pendium of the kind we do not remember to have
seen. The statistical tables will be found not the
least useful of its contents.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WIFE BY TIER HUSBAND.—
Daniel Sullivan, a labourer, of No. 28, Siducy•etreet,
Counnercial-road East, was brought before Mr. Ingham,
charged with assaulting his wife, Mary Ann Sullivan.

The complainant, a thin, careworn young woman,
stated that she had been married 41 years, and for the
last three years her husband had been in the practice of
beating her at intervals, and was in a state of intoxica_
tion two.or three times a week. On Tuesday night he
came borne drunk and turned her out of doors, and after-
wards throw all the things in the room into the street.
She was admitted into lier house again, and had to sleep
on the stairs at night. Her husband did not work yester-
day, and came home sober in the evening and went to
bed. She entered her room soon afterwards, and
her husband got out of bed and threw a large bundle of
slop work she had to make up at her head and knocked
her down. He then seized her by the hair of her head
and dragged her about the room until she became in-
sensible. Her husband beat her, kicked her, and nearly
strangled her a few weeks ago, and she took out a sun'-
mons against him which he never appeared to, and she
forgave him. He was kind to her when sober and all
she required was that he should be bound over to keep
the peace towards her, 'and keep away from her. She
could obtain her own living.

three lengths ; bad third. The start Wa3 disgraceful.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burridge, living in the same house
as the complainant, said she heard screams of mur-
der, and saw the prisoner dragging his poor helpless
wife about the room and knocking her with
great violence against the door. The complainant was
very much hurt, and had been ill al! night.
A police-constable said he was called into the house,
28, Sidney-street, last night, and found Mrs. Sullivan
lying upon the floor insensible, and she continued in
that state for some time.

The prisoner said he was very sorry for what ho had
done, and it would not have happened if ho had not
been drunk, and should not happen again. He was
willing to be bound over to keep the peace.
Mr. Ingham said the longer ho sat in a police-court
the more he was convinced that nine-tenths of the
crime in London was caused directly or indirectly
by drunkenness. The • prisoner had been in the
practice of beating his wife at intervals for
three years. Ho looked on the prisoner's
drunkenness as an aggravation of the offence, and
although the wife had begged that her husband should
❑ot be punished, he could not overlook the brutality of
the prisoner, which had been exercised so often on his
young and most unfortunate wife: He sentenced the
pyisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
,two months, and also to enter into his own recogniEance
in the sum of 201. to keep the peace towards his wife
and all her Majesty's subjects for the next twelve
months.

SOME MORE LIVES SAVED BY THE ROYAL SOCIETY'S
FIRE ESCAPE.—Yesterday morning, between the hours
of three and four o'clock, a fire, which was nearly at-
tended with the loss of not fewer than six lives, broke
out in the premises belonging to Mr. Brown, shell-fish
warehouseman, carrying on business in Bishopsgate-
street-without, near Sun-street. The discovery was
made by Police-constable No. 622 of the City force.
Smoke which he saw issuing from the building con-
vinced him that the house was on fire. He, therefore,
without delay, gave an alarm, and sent off for the aid
of more police, the escapes, and engines. In a very
brief period, Warten, the conductor of the Bishops-
gate escape, belonging, to the Royal Society for the
Protection of Life from Fire, attended, and had it not
been for his prompt and energetic exertions there
is no doubt entertained but six human beings would
have been hurried into eternity ; for when the con-
ductor arrived he found Mr. and Mrs. Brown, three
children, and a brother of the proprietor, at the third
floor, screaming piteously for help. The man imme-
diately raised his escape in front of the burning house,
but the poor creatures were so anxious to eflect a re-
treat that even the conductor himself had a narrow
chance of losing his life, for they nearly overturned the
machine in their anxiety to get from the window, at a
time when the heated smoke was nearly stifling them
At the same moment, a female in the next house, named
Tergen, could be heard crying for help, the smoke hav-
ing filled the building, and which had nearly suffocated
her. Warren, with great coolness, seized hold of an
infant, which he carried down in his arms, having pre-
viously put the mother into the canvas of the escape,
and both were by that means saved from a horrible
death. The conductor again ascended the escape, and
brought down in safety other four persons, amidst the
cheers of those assembled to witness the fire. Having
accomplished that arduous task, he went and assisted
Mts. Tergen out of the premises at a moment when she
was in the act of falling a victim to the suffocating na-
ture of the smoke, thereby saving the lives of seven per-
sons. The engines of the parish and London Brigade
quickly attended, and a good supply of the East London
Company's water having been obtained, the firemen,
under the direction of Mr. Fogo, the foreman, went to
work, and eventually succeeded in extinguishing
flames, but not until consider including
lower part of the house up to the first fl.ooro,_
