ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Liver; 001, Aug. 23.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN.)
CRUICKSHANK V. FOSTER.
This case, which was not finished on Saturday,
was commenced to-day.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Addison appeared
for the plaintiff; Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Ma-
nisty for the defendant.
It appeared that the plaintiff resided on his pro-
perty at Radcliffe, and that the defendant was a corn
and flour dealer, carrying on business in llulme,
Manchester. In 1847 the plaintiff purchased a pro-
perty in Radnor-street, Hulme, and the defendant in
1851 purchased a•plot of ground in 'Walnut-street,
and erected a large baking concern, which extended
before the houses in Radnor-street. With the baking
were connected eight tall chimneys and twenty,
ovens, and there were also twenty-eight. small win-
dows in the building, from which the steam was
allowed to escape. Large quantities of coal were
used instead of coke, and the plaintiff complained of
the stench, filth, and soot, which, he alleged, made
it intolerable to reside in the neighbourhood. Before
the establishment of the bakery all the houses were
occupied at rents of 20/. per annum, while, after its
Ali erection,ins number
n theyobiteDr
sonf p
were almost untenanted, although the
rents had been reduced to 161. per annum.
witnesses were called on both sides.
having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages 401.
This case concluded the civil business of the
Northern Circuit, with the exception of two cases
which are likely to be settled.

MID-D4ESEX SESSIONS, Aug. 23.
(Before Mr. TURNER.)
William Rose, 68, was placed at the bar to receive
judgment.
The prisoner was convicted last week of committing
representing that he was an officer of the
ofChancery, and that the persons he defrauded
wereourt by
entitled
to
property which he could recover
for them.
Mr. TURNER said the prisoner had been remanded
fraudsC
in order that inquiries might be made, and those
inquiries led him to the conclusion that it was full
'time a stop was put to his career in this country.
The sentence was that he be transported for seven
years.

_ Eliza Price was indicted for stealing a travelling-.
another ; and
bsg, value 245., the property of William Day and
Charles Edwards was indicted for
having feloniously received the same.
The prosecutors are portmanteau-makers in the
Strand, and the female prisoner was in their service
as a domestic. In consequence. of a considerable
quantity of
property having been missed, a watch
was set, and on the morning of the 7th inst. police-
constable 142 F detected the female in the act of
handing. a travelling-bag to the other prisoner. The
constable followed, and took him into custody, and
found on his person at the police-station 49 duplicates,
of which 15 related to property identified as belong-
ing to the prosecutors.
The prisoners were found Guilty, end sentenced
each to six months' hard labour
Mr. Birnie was for the defence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
M. Jaques Anne, Marie Salomon de Gaeton, a
French, gentleman. residing at 103, Mount-street,
Grosvenor-square, was placed at the bar, before Sir
James Duke, charged with stealing a large quantity
of shares belonging to the Le Mineur Anglo-Franco-
Californian Gold Mining Company, from the office of
their branch establishment, in King's Arms-yard,
Moorgate-street.
Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Hobler, appeared
on behalf of the French company, for the prosecution ;
arid Mr. Dearsley, of bar, defended the prisoner.
Mr. Clarkson said the charge against the prisoner
was one of taking from the office of the branch of Le
r.aineur, a French joint-stock company for working
the gold mines in California, a great many shares,
and other things belonging to the company. About
50,000/. in English money had . been subscribed in
France, with which to establish a branch company in
Leaden, and the prisoner was appointed the servant
of the directors to carry out their object, which was
to facilitate the disposal of the shares. M. Vachon,
the managing director, gave the prisoner his instruc-
tion?, and shares to the amount of 70,0001. to nego-
tiate in London, together.with nearly 1,000/. to defray
all preliminary expenses. The prisoner accordingly
came over and took offices in King's Arms-yard,
Moorgate-street; and having disposed of both mo-
ney and shares, the, company, not receiving any ac-
count from the prisoner, sent over M. Vachon, the ma-
nager, who, on inquiry, found prisoner had tahor.opart-
meats in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, in conj unc-
tion with a woman; to which place he had ascertained--
the prisoner had conveyed the shares and other pro-
perty from the offices in the City. In consequence of
this information the prisoner was given into custody,
and on searching his apartments -shares to the value
of 25,000/. were found concealed within the stuffing
of the sofa and beneath the flooring of a bed-room in
the same house. The Learned Counsel then went on
to say that he would prove What it was the prisoner's
duty, as the servant of the company, to keep posses-
sion of their property, but only at their offices in
Moorgate-street ; that be was seen removing these
shares, and that theyvvere afterwards found concealed
in apartments occupied by him and a woman with
whom he was given to understand the prisoner co-
habited.
Mr. Dearsley wished that his Learned Friend
would go into the evidence to prove what he had
alleged
he should be able, as he (Mr. Dearsley) con-
t3nded that tbe poisoner was not the servant of the
company, but a ptner ; and in fact, as far as the
England was concerned, the company
company in
itself.
M. Jean Louis Mathurin Sebastian Napoleon
Vachon, jun., wrs then sworn and with the assistance
of Mr. Catty, who kindly, acted as interpreter, the
following evidence was elicited :—I live at 23, Ben-
tinck-street, Manchester-square, and came to London
on the 7t h
of the present month. lam the managing
director
of the company in France called "Le
Mineur," established there under the laws of France,
and enrolled on the 27th of April, 1850. It wee
established in the names of Messrs. Vachon, jun.,
Xavier Van de eastern end Co. The proprietary of
France was about 50,000/.
stieees established in
English. The htdnah Company in London was formed
eight mona a ago, and the prisoner was recommended
tome, not rs an officer of the company, but as the
only in London,
agentHe was appointed by me
verbally and in writing. He is not the proprietor of
any shares. This is the deed of agreement between
the prisoner and myself on the par:: of the company.
Mr. Dearsley objected to the deed being received
as evidence, unless it Was proved in the proper form,
as the law of France required not only that the deed
should be stamped, but that it should also be re-
g;stered.
Sir James Drum said the deed appeared to be
end he should not, therefore, at this stage of
stamped,
the prceeedings object to receive the document as
evid,,,nce•

is algo the decd of agreement, although, according to
the French laws, such is not absolutely necessary. I

tody. Several firms in London a _
.as ankers to
company, but Sir C. Price and
the Le. Mineur branch
Co. were the last.
Mr. Dearaey here called the Alderman's attention
to a part of .the agreement produced by the wit_
nes?, i-i which it appeared that all profits arising
from exchange on London, and all sums above par,
5110111 d be enually divided between the prisoner and
the company, after deducting the expenses incurred in
such transactions. This was the sixth clause of the
agreement, and one of several that would prove the
prisoner was a participator in the property of the
company.
Witness continued—lt was arranged that in
of six Case
the company did not g
ot, o on at the end o
.8x months,
to a certain extent, by the
its losses were to be m
prisoner repaying half of the amount advanced by
the company in the first instance, that is to say, of the
two sums of 3501. and 400/, but if the company went
on there would be no losses at all. The prisoner Was

not responsible in any way for the Success of the
' company or its losses.
Cross-examined by Mr. Dearsley—The prisoner
was to account to me or the company in France. I
bad no authority to dispose of any portion of the
40,000 shares delivered to the prisoner, and the 20,000
shares I disposed of to M. Damberger were a new
issue that were sent to England to receive the English
stamp, and were then returned to France and handed
over to M. Damberger. The company in France and
the branch in England are not totally distinct compa-
nies. The title of the French company is "Le
Mineur," and that of the branch in London, " Le
Mineur de France et Anglice." The prisoner was
not the director of the latter, but merely an agent to
construct the branch for the French company. The
prisoner has signed shares when I have been ill, but
they have been countersigned by me. I attached the
balance now lying at the bankers in the `name of
Messre. Vachon, jun., X. Van de Castelli and Co.
Sir JAMES DUKE asked if the prisoner was not
meant to be included in the word " Company."
Witne!ks, after much difficulty in giving a straight-
forward answer, slid he was not.
Richard Turner, 188 C of the metropolitan pollee,
said—On Saturday night last I went to 103, Mount-
street, Grosvenor-squarP, and after waiting three
houra I saw the prisoner drive up in a cab. This was
about h-ilf-past eight o'clock. I took him into cus-
tody, end then examined the house. In the third
floor front bed-room I removed the carpet and raised
three of the floor boards, and found concealed
beneath 41 packages of shares, and one package
containing a banker's account-book, in the pocket
of which some cheques, drawn by the prisoner
in his own name on behalf of the company,
were discovered. I then proceeded to the front draw-
ing-room on the first floor, when I found secreted
between the spring stuffing and the webbing of the
sofa 17 other packages of shares, which I took pos-
session of as soon as I had lodged the prisoner iu the
station. I went again on Sunday morning, about
eleven o'clock, and found about 800 shares in two
packages in the drawing room chimney, five share-
covers in a rubbish basket in the kitchen passage,
and two loose shares in a drawer in Madame Detour's
room. Madame Detour left the house on Saturday
morning, and I was told she was the woman the pri-
soner was living with.
Cross-examined—M. Vachon, jun., and another
gentleman were with me when I went to the prisoner's
house on Saturday. I received my instructions
from the acting inspector on the same afternoon.
The prisoner was not present when the property was
found.

Mr. Clarkson said the Alderman had the evidence
before him as to the shares, which for the sake of this
prosecution he should call so many pieces of paper,
having been stealthily removed from the offices and
concealed in the prisoner's apartments, he having
been the agent of the company, and refusing to give
any account of his transactions previously. It would,
therefore, rest with the Alderman to say whether a
prima facie case had been made out for a remand.
Mr. Dearsley said this was a most serious case as far
as the prisoner was concerned. It was a well-known
principle in law that no person could be charged with
felony where there was a supposed right on the part
of the cccused to detain property alleged to have been
stolen. There were documents in the possession of
the parties for the prosecution, which if they had put
in would have shown the real position of the prisoner
with regard to the company. However, it was enough
for his purpose to know that no casehad been made out
to enable the magistrate to remand the prisoner, who,
knowing the character of M. Vachon, and that he
would take possession of this property by force, as a
matter of security removed it to his own house, where
he concealed it. He had no intention of denying that
fact ; but he thought the proceedings here were un-
necessary and harsh, as the prisoner had already been
summoned to appear at the Mansion House, and was
fully prepared to meet the case there in its proper
form.

Sir JAMES DUKE said there was nothing at all
against the prisoner as yet ; but he considered a prima
facie case had been made out to enable him to adjourn
the inquiry, but not to detain the prisoner in custody.
He would therefore take his own recognizances in
50/. to appear at the next examination.
The prisoner requested permission to explain ono
or two circumstances omitted in his counsel's instruc-
tions, in the course of which we understood him to
assert that the English branch of -.Le Mineur was
established with the view of its ultimately advancing
a loan of 40,000/. to the parent company in Paris.
Sir JAMES DUKE said that one good would cer-
tainly result from this investigation—the public would
benefit by it if no one else did.
The prisoner quite concurred with the alderman in
his last remark; and the shares, money, books, and
memorandums having -been ordered to be detained in
the custody of the officer, the prisoner's recognizances
were then taken, and he was liberated, having been
locked up in the station cell from Saturday night till
• Monday morning.

previously convicted of manslaughter, and bad also
had six months fur robbing a servant girl of a
sovereign.
The depositions being taken at length, the prisoner
was committed for trial.

IRELAND.
THE SIX-MILE-BRIDGE CONFLICT.
DUBLIN, MONDAY.—On Saturday morning Mr.
Delmege, J. P., surrendered himself to the authori-
ties in the county Clare. As soon as he became
aware that the coroner had issued a warrant for his
arrest on a charge of murder, he sent an intimation
to that functionary that he was prepared to yield,
himself up when required. A chief constable of po-
lice, attended by a strong escort of the 3d Dragoons,
executed the warrant. There is a party of the 47th
Regiment stationed in the gaol of Ennis for the pro-
tection of Mr. Delmege and the eight soldiers of the
31st Regiment confined there in pursuance of the
verdict returned at Six-mile-bridge.
An application will be made to-morrow or next
day to Mr. Justice Crampton, in chambers, to dis-
charge Mr. Delmege on bail. The motion will be
grounded on affidavits, in which (it is understood) it
will be sworn that according to the firm btAief of the
deponents, the prisoner is in no way answerable for
the unhappy affray, for the firing of the soldiers or
the death of the rioters. Notice of the application
will be given to the law advisers of the friends of the
deceased.

A similar motion will he made on behalf of the
soldiers, and there is little doubt but the Learned
Judge will grant both.

DONNYBROOK FAIR.

This once notoriously celebrated annual saturnalia
is clearly dying out. The following description of
the opening day is given in Saunders this morning :
" Yesterday being what is called The Walking Sun.
day' of Donny brook Fair, The Green' was visited by
a good many of our oitizms, and a.huge swarm of the
gamins' of the metropolis; but there was an evident
lack of the interest which used to prevail in the olden
time.' The roofless tents and the penny shows were few
in point of number, and of a character the reverse of
prepossessing. They presented a beggarly account of
empty boxes,' and so far, therefore, as these are con-
cerned, the fair promises to be poor indeed.' Be the
cause what it may, be it the influence of the temp.rsnce
movement,' and the improved morals resulting there-
from, or be it the stringent regulations of the police for
the preservation of sobriety and order, it is plain that
the Donnybrook of the past and that of the present time
are as far asunder as the poles.' Tenipora mutantur,
et ncs mutainur in illis,' seems to be an adage likely to be
realised this year at Donnybrook."
