PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF
THE CITY TO GEN. GARIBALDI.

MEETING OF COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL,

THIS DAY.

The meeting of the Court of Common Council was held
to-day, and in consequence of the motion of Mr. Richard-
son, viz., the presentation of the Freedom of the City of
Loudon to General Garibaldi, there was a very full attend-
ance of members.

The LORD MAYOR having taken the chair, and the pre.
liminary business having been transacted, the following
motion was brought forward :

it The preAentatim of the honorary freedom of the
City of London to General Garibaldi."

Mr. RICHARDSON having referred to the arrival of
General Garibaldi in London, prccetded to say that he
thought it presented a fitting occasion for the citizens of
London to mark their appreciation of General Garibaldi by
presenting to him the honorary freedom of the City of
London. He felt certain that the extent of the honour
intended would be rightly estimated by General Garibaldi,
a noble disinterested man who had given freedom to
thousands. He concluded by moving :—" That the
honorary freedom of the City of London be presented
to General Garibaldi on his arrival in the metropolis."
Alderman ABBISS, in a highly eulogistic speech, se-
conded the proposition.

Mr. NORRIS, after some discussion, withdrew the
amendment for " the previous question," and having ma, e
some remarks relative to the matter, concluded by moving
that an address of congratulation from the city of London
be presented instead of the honorary freedom.

Mr. RAT supported the amendment. He said it was not
competent for the court to present the honorary freedom of
the City of London to General Garibaldi, because he, as an
alien, could not receive it.

Mr. Deputy ELLIOT supported the original question. A
great outcry had been got up against General Garibaldi
because it had been said be had asked England for a million
muskets, but he defied any one to prove that such an asser-
tion ever passed from the mouth of General Garibaldi.
(Hear, hear.) It was a foul libel, and only the enemies
of one who was the foremost man in the world, believed for
one moment the base insinuation. (Hear, hear.)
After a somewhat animated discussion,
, The COMMON SERGEANT put the question, when the ori-
ginal motion was agreed to almost unanimously.

The 26th standing order of the Court having been sus-

pended,

Mr. RICHARDSON arose, amidst loudcheers, to move that
the freedom of the city, which the Court had just decided
to present to General Garibaldi, be enclosed in a gold box
value 100 guineas. (Cheers,) He remarked that whilst
the citizens of London, by such a proceeding, would only
be doing that which was right and prover, they would at the
same time be honouring one of the greatest, bravest, and
disinterested men of the people. (Cheers.)
Alderman MECHI said he had great pleasure in seconding
the motion. (Cheers.)

After a few remarks from several other members of the

The COMMON SERGEANT submitted the motion to the
Court, when it was agreed to, amidst loud cheering.
The Court then proceeded with the other business on
the paper, which occasioned little or no interest, as nearly
one-half the members of the Court quitted the chamber on
the conclusion of the motion of Mr. Richardson.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—(Thik Day.)

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before the Recorder and a Common Jury.)

BRANDON V. RICKHARD.-THE NEW THEATRE COMPANY

(LIMITED).-SINGULAR ACTION.

This was an action to recover for work and labour done,
plaintiffs being a firm of attorneys, and defendant a stock-
broker.

Mr. Henry James (instructed by Mr. Tee, of Old Jury)
appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Sergeant Atkinson
(specially retained) ; and Mr. Kemp representing de-
fendant.

Mr. James, in opening the case to the jury, said that the
present action arose out of the recent formation of a com-
pany known as the New Theatre Company. There was no
doubt that this company created a great deal of excitement
in certain circles, and some speculation ensued. The de-
fendant was broker to the company, and acting upon his
instructions the plaintiff had performed certain work. The
defendant had attacked the directors of the company in the
Court of Chancery, and he asked the plaintiffs to mike out
the bill of costs tl another person, so that it might not be
known he was not the person actively moving in the matter.
The bill, however, had been duly forwarded to the defen-
dant, who returned no answer to demands for the money,
and who made no objection to the bill of costs. Eventually
the defendant promised to send a cheque, but he had not
done so, and he (kir. Jones) confidently waited the result
of this inquiry.

Mr Brandon said—l am the plaintiff, and am an attorney
of the Strand. In the first instance I was consulted by
Mr. Noah, who is in partnership with my brother. That
was in June last. I was consulted about 200 shares which
Mr. Noah had. There was no certificates issued, no settling
day was named, and the broker could not obtain his
cemmission. Defendant was broker to the Naw Theatre
Company, and on June 9th I met him in Abchurch-
lane. Defendant was of opinion that criminal proceedings
should be taken against the directors, but I was opposed to
such steps, as the directors would immediately take steps to
wind up the company. I took proceedings in Chancery,
and defendant said "As to the expenses I wish there to be
no misunderstanding ; Noah will pay you his half and I will
pay you mine." I agreed to this. Defendant particularly
directed me to keep his name in the background, because as
he was broker to the company it would not do for him to
figure against the directors. I prepared by order of the
defendant, a letter for the signatures of the shareholders.
Only one signed it, On the 27th June defendant intro•
duced a gentleman as a purchaser of shares, and wished me
to explain what I was doing. I filed a bill in equity, and
succeeded in getting the certificates from the directors. The
certificates were handed to me, and I sent them away to the
alleged purchaser, who was not at his office. Some con-
versation ensued, and then Mr. Noah had agreed to forego
the premium upon the shares upon condition that defen-
dent should pay the plaintiff's bill of costs. Defendant
offered me £52 10s., but I declined, and he then asked me
to send in a bill to Noah and not mention his name, as he
wished to keep in the background. The bill was duly
made out, and application made for the amount. After
many such demands I met the defendant in Change-alley,
in August last, wbo then apologised for not sending the
cheque, but promised to do before I could get back to my
office. I never received the money. Messrs. Noah and
Brandon stopped payment recently, and I now owe de-
fendant for his moiety of the bill, £69 108. I have never
had one sixpence, even for costs, out of pocket.
Cross•examined—Noah's partner was my brother, and I
had done law business for the firm. A bill of costs which I
had direct against defendant was paid up after the threat
to take proceedings. Defendant was to receive £3OO from
the promoters of the company. 'We never take a written
retainer, at least, not once in fifty times. Mr. Rickards
had acted as our broker for thirteen or fourteen years. He
had a great interest in this matter, and was to get his corn •
mission on the shares, When defendant wished the bill to
be made out to Noah, I advised the gentleman to have a
written undertaking, because I did not like the shifting.
Defendant's present attorney called upon me about the
business and I gave him information. Mr. Boucicault's
bankruptcy considerably complicated matters. Defendant
told me that he would pay his moiety of any charges in
Change-alley.
Plaintiff was re-examined upon the items in the bill of
costs. When defendant presented the cheque he had never
been applied to in reference to his own account for direct
business. The charges were made out from a diary.
Messrs. Valiance (defendant's attorneys) did nothing, but I
communicated with them at defendant's request. When-
ever defendant met plaintiff they conferred together as to
the steps to be taken.
At the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence Mr, Jonathan
Brandon was called to prove the retainer.

The case is expected to last a considerable time.

THAMES.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Catherine Holmes, a woman
of the town, and John Morgan, a young man, wore charged
with highway robbery.

Henry Wyatt said—l live at No. 6, U pper Baker-street,
Stepney, and am a carpenter. Last night I was walking
through Whitechapel, a little after 11 o'clock. The female
prisoner, and two other women, came up to me, and said
" What are you going to treat us with." I said nothing ;
I am going home. I went into the Black Lion public•
house to light my pipe, and had a pint of beer. The female
prisoner came in just after me, and I asked her to drink
the remainder of it after. I had drunk a portion. I walked
out of the public .house and she followed me out and
took my arm at the end of Turner-street, near
the back of the London Hospital. She spoke to two
other woman, and directly afterwards turned round to me
and made a snatch at my watch. She succeeded in taking
_ _

it from my waistcoat pocket. I saw her and felt her da it.
I laid hold of her and stuck to her. The prosecutor was
asked to explain what he meant by sticking to her. He
said—l mean that I kept my eye upon her. She made a
great effort to get away, and threw her shawl and bonnet
on the pavement. While I was struggling with her the
male prisoner came from the other side of the road, and said
"What are you going to do with that woman ?" and tried
to kick me, but he did not succeed. I then called " Police 1"
and the police came directly, and I gave the female prisoner
in charge, and held Morgan until another constable arrived,
and he was secured.

John M‘Kay, a police constable, 414 K, said he heard the
prosecutor calling for the police, and saw him struggling
with the woman who accused him of taking liberties with
her. The male prisoner was sanding on one side, and was
about to move away. He took him into custody. He did
not know Morgan, but he knew the woman Holmes, who
was a prostitute living in Shadwell. There were half a
dozen women of the same class about her when he came
up. The back of the London Hospital was a secluded place,
where many robberies had been committed.
The prosecutor was recalled, and said, "My watch was
fastened to a silver chain round my neck. It has been
broken from the swivel."
The prisoners were remanded for a week.

SPANISH CREDIT,

La Libertad, Madrid newspaper, of the 27th ol
March, in some remarks on Spanish Credit in
Europe, states as follows :
Some newspapers have complained of our saying that
the name of Spain is in the Stock-Exchange of London
posted between the insolvent countries on a board, and they
add that Government has answered to this reproach in
paying to England a claim put forward during the
Morocco war. We shall never boast of having paid such
or such debts in such occasion. To pay to those who demand
what is due to them is one of the most simple and common
acts of human life and of nations. England pressed us in a
difficult moment and in accordance a ith her tendency, and
vie paid her without delay. As we have had no merit in
paying, it will be infinitely more decorous, and we shall
exercise more patriotism, in saying nothing about it. We
have also paid the French Government, and the country has
never murmured, and has never boasted of having paid,
though this debt was the fruits of the slavery of 1823. From
all this a great truth comes out against our Government—
it is that we have paid the Governments who have other
means to expose us than placing us among the insolvents,and
we have not paid our home and foreign creditors,who do not
possess coercive powers. Shall we conceal from the country
generous, and loyal, the shameful situation in which she is
in all the markets of Europe ? Shall we not put before her
the follies of the Government, their inactivity, or their in•
difference? All the markets of Europe are absolutely closed
to Spanish credit, to Spain at a time when she pays her other
debts with the greatest punctuality, and when she makes
especial efforts for her mawhichterial credit. The Paris market
opened her coffers and has
is equally closed. Paris,
given us 1,200,000,000 f. which came to vivify our country.
How, then, is it only a question of the board of the London
Stock Exohange ? Are our Governments right against the
whole world, or is the world right against our Governments,
which, as guardians of the interests of the country, have
prevented its development? Let them grapple promptly
with the question. Let them name a commission com-
posed of influential men of all parties, who will hear
the complaints we receive from the English, the Dutch, the
Germans, the French, and the Spaniards. Let them settle
what ought to be settled, and, instead of bragging and re-
sisting single individuals, who have not the means to de-
fend their injured interests, put a stop for ever to these in-
terminable reclamations. We shall always know how to
make an honourable distinction between the country and
her bad Government. The country, without sharing in
any part the weight of the mistakes of the Government, is
suffering for it. It will be always useful to protest, in order
to bring her out of a position which degrades us in the face
of Europe. The best way to fulful our mission is to tell to
the country the truth, and to say to the Government,
" Rise to the noble instincts of the nation ; take care of its
reputation, and, without delay, and with every means, show
to the world that you don't deserve to be reproached.

LIVERPOOL RIVER POLICE.—At a meeting of the
Liverpool Town•C'ouncil yesterday it was agreed to sanction
the appointment of an organised river police, with a view to
suppress the crimping system on the Mersey. The town
clerk was also authorised to employ assistance in the pre-
paation of a draught of a bill for consolidating and amend-
ing the Municipal Corporation Acts.
