LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. F. Gibbons.)
ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON PA*NBROKERS BY "DUFFING'

WATCHES.-GLOVER V. 'RUSSELL.

This was an action of a very novel character, and dis-
closed a system under which respectable pawnbrokers aro
victimised by what are called " duffing" gold watches.
The plaintiff was described as a merchant, of the Queen's-
road, Dalston, and he sued to recovej the value of a watch,
stated to be gold, which he alleged he had redeemed at the
defendant's shop.

Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection
Society, appeared for the defendant, a pawnbroker, of
Fore-street, in the City.

Plaintiff said that a short time ago he purchased two
tickets of two gold; watches, which had been pawned,
the one at Mr. Attenborough's, and one at defendant's, by
a man named Stone, who resides in the New North-road.
Plaintiff redeemed the watches and tried to sell them, but
finding they would not suit his market, sent back the one
he had redeemed from defendant to be re-pledged. It was
refused as being of no value, and then plaintiff brought
the present action to recover the money he had paid for it
when he took it out of pawn in the first instance.

His Honour—ls the watch in Court ?
Mr. Neate—Yes, sir, but .1 think I had better not pro.
duce it until I have cross-examined tho plaintiff.
His Honour—Let me see it.

Mr. Neate—Although it is described as a gold watch it
has been discovered that the back only is gold, and the
rims silver gilt. In fact, it is an article expressly got up
to defraud'pawnbrokers.

Plaintiff, in cross-examination—l believe that the watches
are sold in the usual way of trade by a person in Queen-
street. I am quite sure that I redeemed the watch now
produced at defendant's shop, where it had been pledged
for £2 2s.

Defendant—l do not remember the watch now produced
having ever been pawned with me, but I do recollect its
being offered. While my young man was examining it,
the back fell out, and he discovered that the rims were
silver gilt.

His Honour (to plaintiff)—Have you any witnesses ?

Plaintiff—My clerk.
A young man came forward and said he was clerk to
plaintiff, who bought and sold goods for cash, but had no
office except at Queen's-road, Dalston.
His Honour—l am not at ail satisfied with the case, and
really, looking at the watch produced, it appears to me to
be got up for the purpose of fraud.
Mr. Neate—l am informed that these watches are im-
ported into this country at 355. each. They are called
" duffers," and my client has been victimised with another
of them, upon which he has advanced 50s.

Plaintiff—May I ask the defendant a question ?
His Honour—No. I am not satisfied with your case or
with the description given of you by your clerk.
Plaintiff—Then I shall take the matter to the superior
court.

Mr. Neate-1 apply for costa of attorney, as this is a case
n which a large body of tradesmen are concerned.

His Honour—l shall certainly allow costs, as lam of
opinion that this watch was manufactured for the express
purpose of swindling pawnbrokers. •
Plaintiff nonsuited with costs.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—James Andry, 22, and John
Dwyer, 21, the latter of whom was convicted some time
ago at this court for a desperate assault on the police,
were charged with assaulting James Barker, police-ser-
geant, 16 B.

_ .
From the evidence of prosecutor it appeared that he was
returning home from duty yesterday evening, and was
near his home. He met both prisoners, who were drunk
and rolling about the street. As he attempted to avoid
them, Dwyer said, " Let the - have it," and making
a rush they knocked him with violence against some
shutters. He ordered them to desist, and being in plain
clothes told them he was a police-constable ; they appeared
to aggravate Dwyer, who again assaulted him, upon
which he seized him, and having two bundles, could not
take Andry. The latter seized him by the neck and nearly
strangled him, while Dwyer resisted. A neighbour then
came to the sergeant's assistance and held the bundle he
was carrying. Dwyer said he would not be taken, and
both seriously assaulted the constable. Dwyer managed
to effect his escape. Andry was very violent, and said on
the way to the station that he knew the constable and
would mark him by and bye. Dwyer was taken five houre
after.

Both prisoners flatly denied the charge, but wished to
have the case settled at once.

Mr. Arnold said it was very clear that the conduct of
the prisoners had been very disgraceful. Whether the
sergeant was in plain clothes or not, it was no excuse that
in their drunkenness they should " run a muck" at every-
body they met. He considered the case fully made out,
and sentenced the prisoners to ten days' imprisonment with
hard labour.

STATE OF TRADE

I‘TANcHEsTER, Aug. 22.—There has been a fair
amount of business to-day in shipping yarns, at very
extreme prices. The rates obtained to-day are
about frd. to Id. per lb. in advance of last Tuesday.
The Germans have been the chief buyers. Some
little business has also been done for India, and full
prices paid. The market is strong at the close with
an upward tendency. In home.trade yarns also we
have had a better market than on Friday, with prices
decidedly against the buyer. Just a fair amount of
business doing. The cloth-market remained very
quiet up to Saturday, when more inquiry began to
manifest itself, and there was a disposition to buy.
The excitement in the Liverpool cotton market was
in a great measure the cause of this improved feel-
ing, which necessitated advanced quotations on the
part of the sellers. Very little advance in price,
however, could be obtained, although the inquiry
for some sort of mulls and jacconets for India was
pretty general. The total amount of business done
to-day has not been large. Messrs. John Slagg and
Co. report of this day's cloth market :
" Our market was dull and with a downward tendency
in prices till Saturday, when the excitement in Liverpool
caused some movement here. We have, however, realised
no advance in price, and the business of to-day has been on
a very moderate scale."

LEEDS, 22d.—There has been rather below than
above a full attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls
to-day. Most of the wholesale London and other
large houses having lately purchased freely of goods
for the fall trade, there is a lull in the demand from
the merchants at the present moment. The same
may be said, too, as to the foreign trade, recently
there having been a very good demand, which has
supplied, and is still supplying, manyforeign markets
with a full seasonable supply of the woollen fabrics
of Yorkshire. The manufacturers continue in good
employment, and prices of wool, yarn, and goods
are alike steady.

operations of merchants are limited •
iin every
department, and the reason assigned in the
persis-
tence in high prices, which buyers contend might
reasonably be lowered ; but, on the other hand,
the manufacturers urge that the long-continued
dearness of wool has, for the present, made such a
concession utterly impossible. With respect to the
demand for Yorkshire goods, there is no improve-
ment, and prices are chiefly nominal. Purchases
of wool are only made according to the immediate
necessities of the manufacturers, and the highest
prices still prevail.

THAMES.

WAIFS AND STRAYS, FRIENDLESS AND UNCARED FOR.—
George Watson, William Bone, Joseph Waters, and
Richard Smith, each aged 14 years, were brought up on
remand before Mr. Paget for the third timo charged with
tearing up their clothing in the casual ward of the Poplar
Union Workhouse.

The prisoners were admitted into the destitute ward of
the Poplar Union house a few nights ago, and at the
instigation of older paupers destroyed all their clothing,
and assigned as a reason for doing so that their garments
were old, dirty, and offensive, and could not be worn any
longer. Smith had been in custody before for a similar
offence. The prisoners, half-starved looking creature;
were without homes, and friendless. Swallow, a police-
constable of the A reserve, No. 658, had made
inquiries at the request of the magistrates, and ascertained
that Watson and Bone had no parents living. They were
homeless and starving. The parents of Waters did for-
merly reside in Spottles-place, Bermondsey, and the pa-
rents of Smith at No. 14, Waterloo-place, Deptford.
Smith's father was formerly in the employ of Mr. Hart, of
High-street, Deptford. There was no one to claim the
boys, no one took the least interest in them, and but for
the humanity of the Legislature in providing nightly re-
fuges for the houseless, they would have perished.
Mr. Paget thought the best course to pursue would be
to provide an asylum for the prisoners at the public ex-
pense, and committed them to the Middlesex School of
Industry at Peltham for three years.
CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—George Hanson, a Danish
seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with cutting
and wounding an American seaman, who did not appear.
Mr. Paget asked if the wounds were dangerous ones ?
Bartholomew O'Reilly, a police-constable, 408 B, said
the wounded man had gone on board an American ship,
which was to sail this afternoon.

Mr. Daniel Ross, surgeon, of High-street, Shadwell, said
the American seaman had received two punctured wounds
on the back of the head. They were evidently inflicted
with a knife, but were not dangerous.

Mr. Paget discharged the prisoner, and, on the applica-
tion of Mr. Ross, allowed half a guinea fee for the surgeon's
attendance under the new regulation.

SMUGGLING.—At an early hour on Monday morn-
ing last as one of the Portland Coastguardsmen was
crossing the "Common" on his rounds, he came upon what
turned out to be, after inspection, 24 " demijohns " of the
best Hollands, each containing about four gallons, which
had evidently been but recently landed. The illegal owners
of the Hollands were, however, non est, having evidently
been disturbed by the officer's, approach. At a later part
of the morning the cargo was removed to the charge of
Mr. R. G. Chessman, Tier Majesty's Collector of Customs,
at Weymouth.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the LondonTavern—Sir J. Carmichael
in the chair.

The report stated that there was a satisfactory in-
crease in the receipts, and that the usual proportion
of the gross receipts had been added toreserve fund,
which now amountedto £14,764, and there remained
a net balance of £8,009, out of which the directors
recommended a dividend for the past half-year at
the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. In March last a
congress, composed of delegates from the different
continental governments, was held at Paris, to con-
sider and revise the whole system of telegraphic com-
munications between their respective States, and it
was agreed that a convention should come into ope-
ration from Ist January next, by which the rates
throughout the whole of Europe would be consider-
ably reduced, and the directors anticipated a further
increase of traffic over the wires of the company.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders upon the im-
proved position of the company, and on the satisfac-
tory and progressive increase, which enabled
the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 6
per cent, per annum. It was believed the receipts
would largely increase when the new tariff came
into operation. He believed that the whole of the
debentures would be taken up by the shareholders.
It was proposed to issue debentures to the nominal
amount of £88,320 at the rate of £lOO for £BO cash
bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. for 23
years, which was the unexpired term of the French
and Belgian concessions. At the end of the 23 years
the company would be totally free from debt, and
the shareholders would have the reserve fund at
their disposal.

The report was adopted ; the retiring directors,
Messrs. Edwards, Saunderson, and Scamell, were
re• elected, and the Hon. A. Ponsonby was elected
a director.

A resolution empowering the directors from time
to time to borrow on mortgage a sum not exceeding
one-third of the capital at the rate of £lOO stock
for £BO cash, and bearing interest at the rate of £6
per cent., a portion to be redeemable half-yearly at
par, was carried, and a vote of thanks to the chair-
man closed the proceedings.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—James Andry, 22, and John
Dwyer, 21, the latter of whom was convicted some timo
ago at this court for a desperate assault on the police,
were charged with assaulting James Barker, police-ser-
geant, 16 B.

From the evidence of prosecutor it appeared that he was
returning home from duty yesterday evening, and was
near his home. Ho met both prisoners, who were drunk
and rolling about the street. As he attempted to avoid
them, Dwyer said, " Let the - have it," and making
a rush they knocked him with violence against some
shutters. He ordered them to desist,
and being in plain
clothes told them he was a police-constable ; they appeared
to aggravate Dwyer, who again assaulted him, upon
which he seized him, and having two bundles, could not
take Andry. The latter seized him by the neck and nearly
strangled him, while Dwyer resisted. A neighbour then
came to the sergeant's assistance and held the bundle he
was carrying. Dwyer said he would not be taken, and
both seriously assaulted the constable. Dwyer managed
to effect his escape. Andry was very violent, and said on
the way to the station that he knew the constable and
would mark him by and bye. Dwyer was taken five hours
after.

Both prisoners flatly denied the charge, but wished to
have the case settled at once.

Mr. Arnold said it was very clear that the conduct of
the prisoners had been very disgraceful. Whether the
sergeant was in plain clothes or not, it was no excuse that
in their drunkenness they should " run a muck" at every-
body they met. He considered the case fully made out,
and sentenced the prisoners to ten days' imprisonment with
hard labour.

commend the renewal of the application to Parlia-

Permissive powers to subscribe to the Alexandra
Docks at Newport had been inserted in the bill for
that undertaking, and powers had been granted to
to use with this company's engines the Dock Com-
pany's railways.
The report of the engineer stated that the New-

was now ready for inspection. Those sections com-

the Government ; and the furtherance of this matter
would continue to receive the best attention of the
directors. The balance of revenue account for the
past half-year was £28,736, to which was added
£2,970, the balance from the preceding half-year,
and £B2O interest received on balances and Consols,
making together £32,526. There was paid during
the half-year £39 in respect of back dividends. It
was proposed to write off the first establishment
charges, £2,500, and to add to the general reserve
fund £2,500, making £5,039, leaving a balance of
£27,487. Out of this it was proposed to declare
the usual dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, with a bonus of ls. per share, making to-
gether 3s. per share, equal to 7- per cent. per an-
num, free of income tax, and leaving a balance of
£4,767 for the next account. The property of the
company represented £591,600. The revenue ac-
count for the half-year showed that £302,956 had
been received, and £274,220 expended, including
£25,124 for government mileage duty, leaving the
balance of revenue as above, £28,736.

the last two years they have ordered the not lomen, pro-
prietors of villages, to pay to these guards 40 kopecs (Is.

—of whom there are at least four, but generally more.
This crying injustice is ft refinement, not only to rob the
proprietor, but also to inspire the peasantry with a taste
for playing the spy for the Government, and to raise one
