MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UTTERING A FORGED BANK-NOTE TO AN EMPLOYER
—Joseph Hunt, porter to Mr. John Dickenson Betts, tea
dealer, of 262, Oxford-street, was charged with uttering a
forged £lO Bank of England note, with intent to defraud
his employer.
Mr. Lewis appeared for the defence.

Mr. Betts said the prisoner was in his employ as porter,
and it was his duty to collect moneys. On Monday even-
ing last the prisoner paid in his cash as usual, and
amongst it was the £lO note produced. The clerk
brought him the. note, and on examining it he found
it to be a forgery, The prisoner said it was one of three
he had received from Mr. Truin, a customer, of High-
street, Acton. He asked the prisoner why he did not put
the name on it, and he said he never did. There were two
other £lO notes which came from Mr. Truin, and they were
both good, and bore the names of the persons Mr. Truin
received them from. Mr. Truin had paid the prisoner £3O
on the previous Monday, but the prisoner did not pay it in
till last Monday with another sum of £3l odd received from
Mr, Train.

Mr. Wooll.lm, clerk to Mr. Betts, said he received the
sum of £6B 2s. 2id. from the prisoner on Monday last,
and amongst the amount was the note produced. On
showing it to the prisoner he said it was good enough,
and that he received it from Mr. Frain. It was the priso-
ner's duty to have paid the money he received the previous
Monday the same night.
_ _

- Mr. Truin, High-street, Acton, grocer, said he paid the
prisoner on Monday week three £lO notes, and they all
bore his name, as he made it a practice to put his name on
every note ho received. He was certain the note produced
was never in his possession.

Sergeant W. Gordon, 336 A, proved taking the prisoner
into custody at Mr. Betts', and asked him why he kept the
notes for a week.

Mr. Lewis said he should reserve the defence, and asked
that bail might be taken.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he must refuse the request, and that
he should send the prisoner for trial for the uttering and
also for embezzlement. He had no doubt the prisoner had
had a good note given him and changed it for a bad ono.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erle,
and Justices Williams, Willes, and Byles.)

HERMANN V. SENESCHAL-UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF

PASSING BAD MONEY.

The plaintiff in this case was a musician engaged
at a theatre, and on his way home one night he
went into the defendant's shop to purchase a cigar.
According to the plaintiff's case he handed the de-
fendant a shilling and received the change, but the
defendant immediately afterwards followed him and
gave him into custody upon a charge of passing a
bad florin. Ile was locked up, but the magistrate
discharged him, and this action having been brought
to recover damages for false imprisonment the jury
awarded him £5. The question now was whether
a rule to enter a verdict for the defendant should
be made absolute.

Mr. Shaw appeared to show cause, and Mr. Ser-
geant Petersdorff and Mr. Giffard to support the rule.
It was stated that the 24th and 25th Vic., cap. 99,
enacted that any person who, acting under that act,
gave another into custody upon a charge of passing
bad money should be entitled to notice of action ;
and the jury in this case found that the defendant
bona fide believed that the plaintiff had passed bad
money, but that he had no reasonable ground for
so believing, and the question was, whether this
finding entitled the defendant to notice of action.

The Lord Chief Justice thought that the govern-
ing question as to the right to notice of action was,
whether the defendant really believed that the facts
existed which brought the statute into operation,
and honestly intended to enforce the law; and the
Jury having found this in favour of the defendant,
he was entitled to notice of action, notwithstanding
they thought that he had no reasonable ground for
the suspicion which he entertained.
Rule absolute.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco at Westminster, before Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Wight, Mr.
Justice Crompton, and Mr. Justice Blackburn.)

ROTIIERA V. CLARKE.

This was an action tried at Guildhall, at the last
London sittings after Easter Term, in which the
plaintiff, a jockey, sued the defendant, a trainer of
race-horses, for arrears of wages, and for certain
money considerations to which he was entitled for
each race that he rode, whether he won or lost. The
conditions of those pecuniary considerations were,
amt 11tl vvao tv r.ooivc, fiwo s.lricao in the event of
his winning the race, and three guineas should he
lose it. He had ridden at Ascot and other races,
and won and lost.

The defendant, at the trial, pleaded payment and
not indebted.
The jury having heard the evidence, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., now moved for a rule calling
on the plaintiff to sho w cause why the verdict should
not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground
of the defendant having been taken by " surprise,"
and of verdict against evidence. Another ground
upon which he thought the action could not be
maintained was that five years had elapsed since
the plaintiff had been in the defendant's service,
namely 1857, and from that time down to the trial
the other day, he lay quietly by, never raising a
question about thew claims, claims which he (the
learned counsel) sabrcitted had been discharged
while plaintiff was in defendant's employment.
The Court thought there ought to be a rule nisi.
Rule granted accordingly.
WICKHAM AND OTHERS V. BURGESS AND OTHERS.

This was an action brought to recover a sum of
£4,000 on a policy of insurance effected by the plain-
tiffs on a ship called the Ganges, and disputed by the
defendants on the ground that the ship was not sea-
worthy, and that they were induced to enter into the
policy by representations which were not borne out
by the facts.
The action was tried before Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn and a special jury, and resulted in a
verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed.
A rule was obtained on behalf of the defendants,
calling on the plaintiffs to show cause why the ver-
dict should not he set aside on the ground that it
was against evidence, and on other grounds, and
why there should not be a new trial.
The Ganges, it appeared, was a flat-bottomed
ship, built for the navigation of the river Indus,
and was chartered for Kurrachee or Calcutta. She
was represented to be in every way fitted for ocean
as well as river navigation ; but it turned out that
she was not, and that she foundered, and was lost
by the perils of the sea.
Mr. Lush, Q.C,, and Mr. Chitty now showed
cause against the rule; and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and
Mr. M4l\Tamara having been heard in support of it,
The Court intimated that they would take time
to consider.

NATIONAL SCHOOLS, IRELAND.

Mr, WHITESIDE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether any rule had been framed by the National Board
of Education in Ireland which permitted the use of prayer
at the opening of a school and during school hours.
Sir R. PEEL said that if the hon. member referred to
the rules 12, 14, and 16 of the board, ho would find provi-
sion had been made by which the parents of children could
, have them removed, if they objected to the reading of
prayers in the schools.
CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. HENNESSY asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether the Government had taken any steps to carry out
the recommendation of the select committee on Civil Service
appointments, to the effect " that the experiment of open
competition for junior clerkships, tried at the India Board
in 1359, be repeated from time to time in the other depart-
ments of the Civil Service ?"
Lord PALMERSTON said that the present arrange-
ment for examination of candidates was that they should
first pass the standard test, and then when a vacancy
occurred a list of such candidates should be submitted for
examination in order to supply the vacancy. It w"
intended tD extend that arrangement.

" The Corner" this afternoon presented all the features
of an " off day." The room and lawn were but thinly at•.
tended, and the attention of those present was principally
directed to comparing on the Derby and Oaks, which it is
needless to say, from the unusual size of some of the
volumes, consumed the greater portion of the afternoon.
The partial settling also upon the recent Bath meetings
was entered into as the occasion presented, but the final
settlement will take place on Saturday. Speculation in
consequence of these drawbacks was scarcely entertained,
and the repeated attempts made by some of the most indus-
trious were met with silence or a refusal. The Marquis ap •
peered to hold his own, his friends appearing to be particu-
larly fond, but still stood out for half a point more than the
layers were inclined to concede. Buekstone, by many con-
sidered a "false favourite," was, as usual, surrounded with
uncertainty ; and those who appeared to possess the
soundest information appeared affected with the doubt that
attends the money-market. 6to 1 was his opening price,
hat shortly after half a point more was offered to obtain a
customer, and at the close 6 to 1 was betted several times,
but still offered at the close. getiand was asked after, but
did not appear in such good odour as at Bath, 100 to 8
being readily offered against him. The Stockwell colt was
backed somewhat freely at 13 to 1, and Ensign and Caterer
at a point more. N'epittnns was in demand at 100 to 7,
booked to some money. 25 to 1 was freely taken about
Argonaut, who appears to be the " Simon. Pure" of Sir
Joseph, and 40 to 1 about the Clarissa colt.
THE OAKS—This interesting ladies' race was introduced,
but little was done in the way of business. Hurricane, the
One Thousand winner, was freely supported at 4 to 1, but
the backers tired out the layers, and at the close 3 to 1 was
her highest price. Bto 1 each was taken to small amounts
about Sappho, Olive Branch, and Q.E.D. 10 to 1 against

COLONIAL.

TEA,--A moderate amount of business has been entered
into, but at public sale prices have exhibited a downward
tendency, interior descriptions having receded 2d to 3d, and
superior qualities 4d to 6d per lb.
SuctAn.—The market continued dull, and prices in some
instances have slightly given way. Refined descriptions
have also scarcely maintained previous quotations.
COFFEE.—For the superior descriptions of colonial there
was a fair demand, but at public sale prices exhibited less
buoyancy. Other quotations remained without material
change in prices.
Rim—A rather large business has been done, chiefly,
however, for export, prices generally being well maintained.
SALTPETRE.—A few dealings have been recorded in
British refined, at about former quotations.
TALLOW.—The market has been dull, and prices gene-
rally have exhibited a further slight decline, P.Y.C. on the
spot being quoted 46s ; and for the last three months' de-
livery, 48s 3d to 48s 6d per cwt.

CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Gresham House; Mr.
J. Borradaile, the chairman, presided.
report • atated- that the line Tvatkopened to
Chappahattee, 15 miles from Calcutta, at the
beginning of the present year. The inhabitants
of the intermediate villages have already availed
themselves of the line to a considerable extent.
The Midge over Tolly's Canal has been finished,
and that over the Piallee, which has been the cause
of so much delay and expense, the directors have
every reason to believe has by this time been com-
pleted, and a communication established with the
Mutlah. The expenditure on the line having been
found to exceed the amount which the directors
were led to believe would be sufficient, they ask
permission to raise £50,000 by shares or debentures,
of which, however, only that amount will be issued
which may be found indispensable. Much of this
excess over the estimate is due to increased scarcity
of labour and rise of wages in the district. But the
increased wealth of the native population thereby
indicated will be advantageous to the line when
open. Of the last sum of £50,000 authorised by
the shareholders to be raised by debentures, on the
18th Nev. last, £40,000 only has been sanctioned by
the Secretary of State for India, and the issue has
been confined to this amount. Mr. Bruce, one of
the consulting engineers, stated in his report that
it was probable the Government would postpone
the opening of the line throughout until after the
monsoon in September. It appeared that the cost
of completing the line and providing rolling stock
would be about £376,000, and that the expenditure
has been incurred with the express sanction of the
Government in India in every detail. The capital
account showed that £326,534 had been received
and £324,228 expended, leaving a balance of £2,306.
In reply to questions, it was stated that it would
be necessary to provide jetties and tramways for
the purpose of loading ships from the railway trucks
and for unloading them into the trucks ; also to pro-
vide a dry dock or slip for the repair of vessels in
the Mutlah. The cost of providing these adjuncts
to the railway would be altogether about £75,000,
and would pay for the outlay.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re-
electing the retiring directors, electing Mr. C.
Johnson an auditor, in the room of Mr. Austin,
resigned, and authorising the directors to raise an
additional sum of £50,000, in shares or debentures,
at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

Colonel W. PATTEN asked the President of the Board
of Trade, whether it was the intention of the Government
to introduce any measure during the present session for re-
gulating the construction of lines of electric telegraph
on public roads and lands adjoining thereto, and whether
care had been taken to insert in all private bills having
this object clauses rendering electric telegraph companies
liable to future general legislation. He also asked
for some further explanation from the right hon. gentle-
man relative to the subject.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that one-half of the existing com-
panies bad got a clause in their bills, which gave Parlia-
ment a limited power of interference at the end of 10 years.
There were, however, no powers vested in Government to
deal with the subject. He intended to communicate with
the chairmen of public companies in reference to the mat-
ter. The whole subject was undergoing consideration, but
he could not say, as at present advised, that any bill on the
subject would be introduced.

DISCOVERY OF A FOSSIL BONE.—A few days ago,
in digging the foundation for the new piers at the harbour
of Alloa, the workmen came upon a bone imbedded amongst
the clay, about ten feet below the undisturbed alluvial de-
posit of the river, and a little above a gravel bed containing
oyster and other marine shells. On examination, the bone
was ascertained to be the lower jaw bone of the wild boar.
From the long period in which it must have been imbedded
amongst the clay it has became perfectly black, the teeth
retaining their enamel, and having the appearance of po-
lished ebony. The jaw bone is about seven inches in
length, though considerably mutilated at b.th ends. The
tusk is six inches in length, the greater part, however,
being inserted in the jaw. It is impossible accurately to
determine how long it is since this bone was buried in the
spot whew it was found, or by shat accident it came to be
washed down the current and imbedded in its silt. It may,
however, be safely averred that many ages have passed
away since the wild boar who owned this jaw bone roamed
in forests long since extinct, hunted it may be by orudo
ancestors in one or other of the extensive forests so plenti-
ful in primitive times in old Caledonia.-4710a Journal.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY:
GAROTTING A PUBLICAN.—Two young men, named
Mark Barnett, and Henry Sweetlove, were brought before
Mr. Henry on remand, charged with garotting and robbing
Mr. James Wilson, a publican.

Mary Farley said—l was in White Lion-street, St. Giles,
on Monday evening last, when I saw some men, amongst
whom were the two prisoners leading a gentleman along
who was bleeding very much from a wound in the face.
They commenced pushing him about. I went over to them
and told them not to ill-treat the gentleman, when I heard
one of the prisoners say "Ding it." I have since heard
that the gentleman had been robbed of his gold spectacles.
Mr. James Wilson said--I am a licensed victualler, and
carry on business at 123, Drury-lane. On Monday last I
left my house of business about 7 o'clock in the evening for
my residence in Camden-town, and as I was proceeding to
the omnibus in Tottenham-court-road, and when near
White Lion-street, Seven Dials, some persons came behind
me, and seized me by the collar of my coat, and then I re-
ceived a violent blow in the face, which rendered me for
some minutes perfectly senseless. I was lifted up by some
persons, and then I found I had been robbed of my gold
eye-glass. The injuries 1 received were so severe that for
three or four days I was incapable of attending to business.
Police-constable Ackrill said both prisoners were the
constant associates of thieves.

Barnett said—The woman is mistaken in me. I've got
good work, end have no need to steal.

Mr. Henry—The female witness swears positively that
you were one of the parties with the gentleman when she
went over to protect him.
Ackrill asked for a remand, in order to allow him time to
apprehend two other persons who were concerned with the
prisoners in the robbery.
The magistrate granted the application.
London, England, 1862-05-30

MARLBOROUGH .STREET, THIS DAY,

CABS AND CAB HORSES.—CAUTION TO CAB OWNERS.
—Mr. Robert Woolley, a cab proprietor, of Warren-mews,
attended to answer a complaint of causing a horse to be tor-,
tured by being used in a cab while in an unfit state.

It was proved by Sergeant Davey, 17 C, and Mr. Cherry
the veterinary surgeon to tha police, that the horse was in
a very bad state, greatly diseased, and totally unfit to be
used.

Defendant said there was nothing the matter with it, and
he would not mind betting his worship £5 that it would do
12 miles in an hour. (Laughter.)

Mr. Knox, after commenting on the defendant's conduct
in sending out a horse in such a state, fined him 20s. and
costs.

Mr. Cherry said the defendant had other horses which
had been complained of.
Mr. Knox said the defendant had better be careful, for if
he came before him again he probably should commit him
without a fine.

The driver of the cab, Benton, was fined ss. and costs for
using the horse.

Alfred Jenks, badge 13,478, was fined ss. and costs for
using a cab in an unfit state, the cab being a Hansom.
A hackney carriage attendant, named Green, proved
seeing the defendant's cab on the stand in Conduit-street,
with several spokes in both wheels loose and broken.
The witness, in answer to a question, said the cab alto-
gether was in an unfit state for public use—in fact, it NI as
dangerous to use it.

James Clark was charged as follows :
Sergeant Joy, 9 C, proved seeing the prisoner the previ-
ous evening pushing among a number of persons assembled
round a glove shop window in Regent-street, and particu-
larly keeping his eye on the pockets of two foreign gentle-
men. He watched the prisoner and saw him feeling the
pockets of the gentlemen and then walk to the Haymarket,
when he took the prisoner into custody.
Prisoner—Now did you not say that:you would take me
and give me a drag? That's three months, your worship.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said the prisoner had been tried at
the Old Bailey and sentenced to 12 months for robbing a
a man of a watch.

Prisoner—Why he wasn't worth one. (Laughter.)

Sergeant Cole said that previous to receiving the 12
months prisoner had had 10 years' penal servitude, and be
was only discharged last week at Bow-street.
Committed for three months.
