LONDON,

REPRESENTATION OF MONMOUTHSHIRE

BOROUGHS.

In consequence of the position held by Mr. Blew-
id, member for these boroughs, in the Monmouth-
shire and Glamorganshire Bank, he will shortly vacate
his seat, and, in anticipation of the vacancy which will
be thus occasioned, a stir is making in the political
circles of the returning borough—Newport. One
candidate, Mr. Lindsay, a London shipowner, is al-
ready in the field, and a second is talked of. Mr. Lind-
say has already addressed a public meeting of the
electors in Newport in explanation of his political
creed. He began by announcing himself as an in-
dependant candidate, and the nominee of no man.
With reference to Sir Benjamin Hall, who was pre-
sent, he said he did not know him, and had never
seen him until the previous day, but that the mea-
sures of reform and improvement in State
and Church of which Sir Benjamin was the
distinguished advocate should receive his most
strenuous support. He told the meeting that
he was not a man of high birth, but came from
the people, and that, at fifteen years old, he left his
home to push his fortune in the world as a common
sailor, but he now held a high position in the maritime
interest, having risen to that position by his own in-
dustry and exertion from an orphan boy. He was a
Dissenter of the Scotch Presbyterian Church, and a
member of Dr. Archer's congregation in London. He
would support liberty of conscience, he would reform
all abuses in the Church, and endeavour to prevent
those abuses from rendering it the scoff of infidels;
he would vote for a repeal of church rates as a fruit-
ful cause of strife, but, though in principle opposed
to the union between Church and State, still he
would not vote for the separation of that union at
present. He would resist the encroachments of the
Church of Rome to the utmost; he would not
entrust it with power, nor would he trust Dis-
sent, which had also abused power. He would
enter the house, if elected, not as a disciple of George
Frederick Young, on the one hand, or of Feargus
O'Connor, on the other ; nor as a follower of the
Duke of Richmond, or of Mr. Cobden, but he would
endeavour to reduce the expenditure of the country,
and so lighten the burdens of the people. As a com-
mercial man he knew that great reforms and reduc-
tions could be effected in the royal* dockyards,
and in the management of the Customs. As to the
navigation laws, he was opposed to the views enter-
tained by Mr. Labouchere, and followed those of the
late Mr. Huskisson. As to free trade, he was for
real free trade, but he could not call that free trade
which gave to France privileges which France would
not concede to us. He was for the extension of the
suffrage and for the ballot, which had no connexion
with universal suffrage, but would be a protection for
a conscientious voter. A requisition is being got up
in favour of Mr. Crawshay Bailey.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SECONDARIES' COURT, Dec. 31.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)

WYATT V. VESSEY.-ALLEGED - 14EOLIGENCH Or Ax

ATTORNEY.

1.
This was a writ ofTnqul;yin assess damages in n
action brought to recover compensation from the d -
fendant, Mr. Thomas Vessey, attorney, of Cold Ha -
bour-square, for negligence in the conduct of In
action. Judgment was suffered by default.
Mr. WlLims, solicitor, appeared for the plaintiff,
and from his statement to the jury, the evidence of
the plaintiff, and a number of documents put in, it
appeared that in the course of 1850 a person named
Smith brought an action against one Frederick
Orchard, for goods sold and delivered, and the decla-
ration in that action contained two counts, one on a
bill of exchange for the amount given by Orchard
when the goods were sold, and the other in the usual
form for goods sold and delivered. Orchard, being a
minor, appeared by his next friend, the present plainj.
tiff, to defend the action ; and he instructed Mi.
Vessey as his attorney. The defence was a plea of
infancy, but a person who drew the pleadings for Mr.
Vessey, pleaded infancy to the first count of the de-
claration only, and the general issue as to the
count for goods sold and delivered. The result
was that Orchard succeeded as far as the issuei
on the first count went, but :failed on the second;
and a verdict was given against him for 1341.
17s. 6d. Execution was issued, his goods were
seized, and he was arrested and is at the present time,
in Whitecross-street Prison. It was alleged in the;
declaration that this was through the negligence of
the defendant in not pleading " infancy" to both;
counts, and on the part of the plaintiff the jury were,
asked to give a verdict for the amount recovered against
Orchard, and for a sum of 17/, which the plaintiff
had paid out of his own pocket as the action was
going on. The action against Orchard was tried at
the summer assizes at Guildtord in 1850.

The plaintiff, in cross-examination, said Orchard
was his nephew, and was now of age. He was in his
twenty-first year when the action waa brought against
him by Smith. Tha action was brought for furniture
supplied. The greater portion of the goAs seised
under this execution were paid for; the whole of them
certainly were not paid for. Orchard was in busi-
ness ac the time as a tarpaulin manufacturer. Witness
knew the person who took the active part for Mr.
Vessey in defending the action. Had never offered
to settle the whole matter if Mr. Veasey would pay
him 71., but had offered to settle it for that sum inde-
pendent of any claim Orchard might have against Mr.
Vessey for redress—that sum being part of what he
(witness) paid-to Mr. Vessey's agent, as the proceed-
ings were in progress. Mr. Vessey had admitted his
liability for the whole, and had said an adverse ver-
dict, if be was proceeded against, might compel him
to go through the Insolvent Debtors' Court.
Mr. W. CoorEa addressed the jury for the defend-
ant. He made some stringent observations upon
Orchard's defence to the action brought against him
to recover for goods sold and delivered to him as a
tradesman, and said that by a fortunate slip for the
creditor, but an unfortunate one for Mr. Vessey—an
attempt to evade the payment of a just debt bad been
defeated. Mr. Vessey had not drawn the pleadings
himself. The goods, or a portion of them, taken
under the execution had never been paid for. Mr. Or-
chard, it was ti I2e, was in Whitecross-street, and be
thought the utmost extent to which the plaintiff
ought to recover against Mr. Vessey was the 71. which
had been talked of between them.
The LEARNED SECONDARY having summed up.
The jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 1411.
17s. 6d.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
Levi Tobias, who was a few days ago charged with
having had in his possession, well knowing that they
had been stolen, a large quantity of gloves, the pro-
perty of Messrs. Wilson, the hosiers and glovers, in
was brought before Alderman Wilson
for final examination upon that charge.
The prisoner had been followed from his own house
in the London-road to a public•bouse in Prince's-
street, in that neighbourhood, by Trew and Webb, of
the City Detective Police, and in a bag which he
carried were found gloves which were identified as
part of the plunder taken from the premises of the
prosecutors by thieves.
The additional evidence in the case was the follow-
ing :—lt will be recollected that Mr. Solomon, the
solicitor to the prosecutor, said in defence that the
gloves had been purchased as a "job lot" at one of
the sales of Mr. Bailey, the auctioneer."
Mr. J. Malson, clerk to Mr. Bailey, of Wood-
street, Cheepside, was called for the prosecution. He
said—l superintend the delivery of articles sold at
Mr. Bailey's auction-rooms, and have examined the
gloves in question, and my firm belief is that they
were not sold at Mr. Bailey's. We do not sell " job
lots." We only sell by auction. If a job lot had been
sold to the prisoner I would have been aware of the
fact. I have been with Mr. Bailey 23 years, and
know the prisoner as an occasional buyer. He bought
some gloves at our rooms on the 28th of November.
They passed through my hands, but were quite dif-
ferent from those produced.
Cross-examined—l have known him some time.
He deals but little. The articles he deals in are dra-
pery goods, clothes, and gloves.
Mr. Solomon—Has he not always paid for the
goods he bought ? Witness—Yes ; he pays always
before he takes the goods away, as every one else
does.
Alderman WILSON having read the usual caution
to the prisoner and told him that his words would be
taken down and used, if considered necessary, against
him,
The prisoner said the gloves were purchased at Mr.
Bailey's, as I was informed. The party of whom I
had them told me so.
Mr. Lloyd, solicitor to Messrs. Berens and Blum-
berg, whose town traveller had been examined on
Tuesday Upon charges of robbing his employers, then
stated that he bad been instructed by his clients to
g
prosecute the prisoner under very serious circum-
stances ; the officers who had been engaged in the
preceding case havin found in Levi Tobias's house 14
clocks, which had been stolen from the house of the
firm in St. Paul's-churchyard.
Trew, the officer, said
—I produce 14 clocks which
I found on the table in
the front room of the first
floor of the prisoner's house
on Saturday, the 20th of
December. " I said to him, Where did you get
these clocks ? He replied,
"They are all right; I
bought them and paid for them." I said "If you
bought them, show me the invoice, and I shall not
take them away." He said,
" I have none ; I bought
them as a job lot.' " I also found there five gold
watches and six silver watches, and
a great quantity of
other property. One of the gold watches has been
identified by a gentleman who was robbed of it a short
time ago.
Cross-examined by Mr. Solomon—The goods were
standing on the table as they are here. I have been
making inquiries, and have found no claimant for any
of the watches except the one I have spoken of.

Mr. Solomon—My client has no invoice. I expect
to be able to prove that he bought ten our of the eleven
watches at public sales, at Debenham's, Thompson's,
and other auctioneers. The clocks were also bought
as a "job lot." _

Alderman WlLsox—Of course you will prove of
whom you bought them.
Mr. W. H. Taylor—l am in the employment of
Messrs. Berens and Blumberg, and have the manage-
ment of the clock department. I have examined the
fourteen clocks produced and can swear I never sold
them. We have recently, upon taking stock, found
that we have been deficient sixty clocks of this kind.
Mr. Lloyd said he could not on that occasion pro-
duce any more evidence.
Alderman WILSON—There is quite enough to jus-
tify a remand. . . _

Mr. Christie, watchmaker, Cannon street, said—l
have examined one of the watches produced by the
officers. It bas my private mark upon it. I cleaned
and repaired it for a Mr. Gosnell some time in last
June. The private mark corresponds with the mark
in my book.

M. H. Gosnell—l believe this watch to be my
property. It was stolen from me on the night of the
2d of this month. I had it repaired by Mr. Christie.
The number and maker's name correspond with the
information I gave. A female took it out of my
pocket in Hoaton, between eight and nine o'clock.
The chain bad been broken or cut by her, and is in
my possession. I never saw her before, and I should
not know her again.
Cross-examined by Mr. Solomon--I bad been
drinking a little. I never said that I had lost the
watch three months before. I had mentioned that I
had lost it amongst a set of " Bloomers," because I
did not like to say where and how I lost it.
Alderman WiLsort--I suppose it does not signify
whether the lady who stole it was a "Bloomer" or
not ; it is quite evident that you were robbed of your
watch.
The prisoner was then remanded upon the two
latter charges.
