LAW INTELLIGENCE.
JUDGES' CHAMBERS. Jan. 7.
(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
THE CARD-CHEATING CASE AT BRIGHTON.

THE QUEEN V. BROOME AND OTHERS.
In this case, yesterday, an application had been
made for leave to change Mr. Dunn for Mr. Sill, as
the attorney for the prosecutor, Mr. Wm. Hamp,
which was adjourned for the production of affidavits, it
being alleged that Mr. Hamp had not authorized the
application, but that a collusion had been got up be-
tween the defendants to induce the prosecutor to sign
an authority to Mr. Dunn to act as his attorney, with
a view to defeat the prosecution, he being, in fact, the
attorney of Broome.
Mr. SILL now applied for a further adjournment on
the ground that the copies of the affidavits in support
of the application were not left at his office until after
six o'clock on Saturday evening. On Tuesday morn-
ing, at nine o'clock, he was compelled to leave London
for Brighton, for the purpose of making an applica-
tion to the magistrates to change the prosecutor.
That application was made and granted; and he pro-
duced a certificate, dated yesterday, signed by Mr.
Chester Carpenter, the clerk to the magistrates,
stating that Thomas Hayter Chase, of 37, East-
street, Brighton, chief officer of police, had been
hound over in the sum of 5001. to appear, prosecute,
and give evidence against John Broome, Charles
Staden, and John James, for the misdemeanour. Mr.
Sill said be only returned to town on Tuesday night,
at half-past eight,
and he had not had time to answer
the affidavits, which it was nesessary he should do, as
they contained matter personal to himself; he should
also be able to show the collusion. He, therefore,
asked for an adjournment.
Mr. DUNN said the original application had been
adjourned merely for the purpose of his producing
affidavits in support of the retainer, the letter of Mr.
Hamp being denied. He, therefore, opposed the ad-
journment, as he produced the affidavit of Mr. Wm.
Hamp himself, distinctly expressing his desire that
Mr. Sill should no longer continue as his attorney, he
having reasons to be dissatisfied with him, and con-
firming the retainer and change of attorney to him
affidavit of himself and clerk
in support of the application.
(Mr. Dunn), as also an
Mr. SILL—And I ask time to answer these
affidavits.
Mr. DUNN—The only question which was ad-
j ourned was the retainer, and authority to make the
application to change. He was prepared with evi-
dence of that. It would appear that there was some
desire for collusion on
as he would show that Mr. Sill had received 251.
from Broome, 15/. from James, and 801. from the
prosecutor. the part of Mr. Sill himself ;
Mr. Justice EELS—That is not in the affidavits ;
and I think it had better not be. All I have to do is
to consider whether Mr. Sill is entitled to an adjourn-
ment to answer the affidavits or not.
Mr. DUNN—The affidavits distinctly showed that
Mr. Hamp desired to change the attorney.
Mr. SILL said he would be able to show that Mr.
Hamp had been
cajoled into signing the affidavit. It
would be necessary that he should communicate with
the guardian of Mr. Hamp, at Brighton, on the
subject.
Mr. DUNN—Mr. Sill bad gone down to Brighton
without any authority from Mr. Hemp.
Mr. SILL said he had gone down to prevent
Broome getting hold of Mr. Hemp ; but Broome had
succeeded in getting Mr. Hamp
away at 12 o'clock
at night.
Mr. Justice ERLR—The question is, whether upon
the affidavit of Mr. Hemp he was not entitled to
change the attorney.
Mr. Mr. Hemp, now says that
he wa SlLL—Butscajo

ship had seen Mr. Hamp, and he would be able to
show he was.
Mr. Justice ERLE—I can understand Mr. Hemp
may say that it is my signature to the affidavit, but I
was cajoled into making it. He thought it better,
under all the circumstances that the matter should be
adjourned.
Mr. DUNN hoped that Mr. Sill would not be al-
lowed to introduce any new matter. He produced the
original authority signed by Mr. Hemp himself.

fact Mr. Hemp wishes to change the attorney. He
should, therefore, adjourn the application, to give
time to answer the affidavits ; copies to be delivered
of the affidavits in answer to Mr. Dunn.
Mr. DUNN said Mr. Sill ought to deliver his bill
of costs at once,
as he was prepared to pay the

amount.
Mr. Justice ERLE said—Of course if he made an
order to change the attorney Mr. Sill would under-
take to deliver the bill forthwith.
Mr. SILL said he would be prepared to do so, hut
on the further hearing he should be able to show a
complete answer to the application.
The further hearing was then adjourned.

This insolvinsolvent,w who was opposed by Mr. Way for a

person named o. bigg, appeared for judgment.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLirs gave his opinion. He
was of opinion that the insolvent, as a trustee, had
committed a breach of trust. The insolvent had laid
all the blame on his co. trustee Martindale. It was,
however, certain that the insolvent meant to borrow
money on security not allowed by the bill, and that
since it was sold out he had borrowed 601. of Martin-
dale, who was not now to be found. His Honour ad-
judged him to eight months' imprisonment for con-
tracting a debt by means of a breach of trust.

Opposition was as to
the manner in which debts had been contracted and as
to the disposition of property.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron PLATT and Mr. Justice WIL,

It hadbeen arranged that the trial of Thomas Bare,
for the murder of his wife,it
place this morning; but upon the arrival of the
Learned Judges, it
appeared that the depositions had
been sent to Mr. Justice Coleridge the senior judge
upon the rota for attendance at the'court this session,
and that Learned Judge wnot attendance.

The prisoner w -• as in
arraigned at the opening of the
court before Mr.
,Aurney, and he pleaded not guilty
to both the indic L.tment and the coroners inquisition.
Baron PLATT, addressing Mr. Ballantine, who was
counsel for the prisoner, said that, under the circum-
stances, it appeared to him that the case could not
come on to- day, mr. Justice Coleridge having ex-
pressed his intention to try it, and the depositions
having been sent to him.
Mr. I3ALLANTIN
E said that the case was specially
fixed to come on this morning, and he had put off
several engagements in order that he might attend to
it. He could not possibly attend on Thursday, and
the session would probably not last beyond that day.
Baron PLATT said that the Court could not be in-
fluenced by the convenience of counsel. The case at
all events could not come on to-day.
Richard Moss surrendered to take his trial for
wilful and corrupt ;yi ur
Mr. Parry proseperjcutedir.
Ballantine was counsel
,
for the defendant.
The circumstances under which this charge was
preferred have appeared very recently in the police
reports. The parties who had promoted the prosecu-
tion were the parents of two respectable youths,
named Francatelli and Adam ; and the allegation
against the defendant, who is one of the detective
officers belonging to the metropolitan police, was, that
he and another officer, named Atwood, had made a
false charge against the young men of attempting to
pick pockets at M. Jullien'a Concert, at Drury-lane
Theatre, on the night of the l Oth of December. The
parties were taken into custody as they were leaving
the theatre, and were the next morning examined be-
fore Mr. Hall, at Bow-street, when the defendant
swore that he saw them both feel the pockets of
several ladies, and that one of them put his hand into
a lady's pocket. He also swore that as they
were going down the stairs on their way
out, he saw something glittering like a watch
pass from one to the other, and that he heard
Francatelli say to Adam, "Push me, Tom !'
and that the other said, " All right, Robert !"
and that he did push him apparently to create con-
fusion, and that he then took them both into custody.
Atwood, the other constable, corroborated the story
i told by the defendant, And upon their evidence both
