LAW IN7ELLIGENCE, Dec. 11.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(Before Sir W. P, Wood.)

GLADSTONE AND OTHERS V. MUSURIIS BEY AND

OTHERS.

This was a motion to have the Governors of the
Bank of England restrained from paying or deli-
vering to any persons other than the plaintiffs or
their nominees, or except under the direction of the
court, the sum of £20,000 Turkish Bonds, or the
coupons, and interest for the same now in their
hands. A similar injunction was also prayed
against the defendant, Constantine Musurus, the
Turkish ambassador in this country. It appeared
that in the year 1858 the plaintiffs and others took
up a scheme for the formation of a company with
joint-stock capital of £1,000,000, to be divided into
50,000 shares of £2O each, for carrying on banking
operations in Turkey under the name of the Bank
of Turkey. The case made by the bill was that it
was an essential stipulation in such scheme that the
Government of Turkey should grant to the pro-
jected company the exclusive privilege of issuing
bank notes throughout the Imperial dominions, and
that the whole of the kaimes or paper rr oney which
was then in circulation in that country should be
withdrawn, and that no further issue of paper
money should be made by the Government. The
Sultan, on the 18th of May, 1858, gave his assent to
a firman or concession in the Turkish language, but
it was not delivered to the plaintiffs until the 15th
of February, 1859. It was one of the stipulations
in this concession that the bank should commence
operations in Constantinople within six months at
the latest after the delivery of the Imperial firman,
and that in default thereof the sum of £20,000
Turkish Bonds deposited with the governors and
company of the Bank of England as stakeholders,
should be confiscated to the Turkish Government.
The plaintiffs alleged that they have been prevented
from commencing their banking operations by
reason of the Turkish government not having yet
withdrawn the paper money in circulation at the
time the firman was granted, and that the sum of
£20,000 Turkish Bonds deposited with the Bank
of England has not yet been forfeited. The Turkish
ambassador, however, now threatens to cause the
£20,000 to be treated as forfeited unless the plain-
tiffs will give up the firman and all rights thereby
conferred. It appeared that many persons who had
taken shares in the scheme had called upon the
directors to return the deposits paid by them, and
the directors had complied with such demands, and
in fact partly wound up the affairs of the company
among themselves, but not under any legal process.
The Turkish ambassador refused to appear upon
the present motion upon the ground that he was not
liable to the jurisdiction of the court, he being the
representative of an independent sovereign.
His Honour said that in the present state of
matters he could not say to whom the securities
really belonged, and the course he should adopt,
therefore, would be to restrain the governors of the
Bank from parting with the securities in their hands
until the cause had been heard upon its merits.
Order accordingly.

ous affair—they call sausage-rolls" on the counter
—(laughter)—and he told the plaintiff that be sold
about 600 the first week.
Mr. Justice Crompton—Then the sausage•rolls
made the beer go off?
De felid an t—Yes.
Mr. Biron—Did you sell 600 ? _ _ _

Defendant—More than 600—between 800 and
900. The brewers made a great display on the
panels of the sausage-roll business. He did not ask
a man named Conway to send round a few sailors
to show off the business, as he had a party about it.
Conway on a previous occasion had offered to do so
for £5, but he declined his offer. After the deposit
was paid Conway sent round some sailors. Defen-
dant told him he had done a very wrong thing, but
not liking him to be a loser he gave him half-a-
crown. The business was advertised and sold by a
person named Tozer, who called himself " Thomas
Norris, Esq." in the advertisement. Plaintiff told
defendant he had been offered £260 for the business,
and he advised him to take it, as he appeared to be
unable to carry it out from want of money.
In cross-examination, Defendant said he kept
for three years the Ben Jonson in Shoe-lane.
He had sold four businesses before this—two
public-houses and two ham and beef shops.
One of the latter he sold for £2OO. The pur-
chaser died shortly after, and he bought it back for
£6O cash, a bill for £2O, and the back rent and
taxes. He sold it after for £l5O. He was now
managing the Queen's Arms Hotel at Kilburn for
Mr. Kenshole. Tozer sold the Ben Jonson, and
was employed for the sale of one of the ham and
beef shops. When the sausage rolls got stale he
gave them away.
Messrs. Lightfoot 's manager said the house had
been in the hands of four unfortunate tenants, and
the trade had suffered in consequence.
Mr. Walkley, pieman, deposed that he supplied
the defendant on the 20th December, for the open-
ing of the house, with one gross of 2d. " weal and
ham" pies, a gross and a half of sausage rolls, and
the same quantity of mince pies. On the 24th he
supplied him with one gross and a half more. He
called on the plaintiff, but received no order. De-
fendant did not tell him not to call.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Parry—Do you
eat your own pies ?
Witness—l can eat anything after the aristo-
cracy of Westbourne-grove. (Loud laughter.) I
eat them every day in my life.
Mr. Sergeant Parry—And you look very well
after it. Seeing the effect they have on you I
withdraw my former notion respecting them.
(Laughter.)
The further hearing of the case was adjourned.

officer as that described in the affidavit. He asked ,
Dr. Bpinks if he had read the affidavits
Dr. Spinks answered in the affirmative, and he
considered that the person making the affidavit had
described his employment.
Sir C. Cressweli said there was an air of mystery
about the whole matter, for the affidavit did not
give the Court the necessary information. It set
forth that the party making the affidavit had made
inquiries of the father of Matilda Lake, the wit-
ness in question, at Hackney-wick, and from infor-
mation he received he applied to a person at limner-
ton, near Hackney, who said ho knew where
Matilda Lake was then living. He afterwards saw
the party,who said that Matilda Lake's brother had
given him the name of the town where she was then
residing, but the name of that town did not appear
in the affidavit. It then went on to state that
Archer wrote to the superintendent of police of the
town, requesting him to make inquiries respecting
Matilda Lake, and received a letter from him to the
effect that he had not obtained any information
about her up to November last. Archer proceeded
to say that he and the superintendent mentioned
were prosecuting their inquiries, with a view to
serve a subpoena on Matilda Lake.
Dr. Swabey, on the part of 'the petitioner, the
Hon. Charles George Grantley Berkeley, said that
it appeared the father of the witness Lake was un-
willing to give any information respecting his
daughter, in consequence of the painful nature of
the disclosures she would be called on to make.
Dr. Spinks said that no doubt there was a vague-
ness in the affidavit, but this was a case in which
the husband petitioned for a restitution of conjugal
rights, and the wife might be compelled to cohabit
with him again. The husband would not be put to
any additional expense by the postponement of the

Dr. Swabey observed that this inquiry relative
to the witness Lake had been going on from No-
vember, 1861,t0 the present month without success.
Sir C. Cresswell said he would consent to the
postponement of the trial till next term, if it could
be shown that Mrs. Berkeley had any separate
maintenance he would direct her to pay the costs of
the present application pending the suit.
Dr. Swabey complained that some of Mr. Berke-
ley's papers were detained by her attorney for debts.
Sir C. Oresswell—Then let him pay the debts.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—WORCESTER, Dec. ii.

The assizes for this city and county commenced
to day, the commission having been opened yester-
day evening.

(Before Mr. Justice Mellor.)
The county calendar presented two cases of mur-
der, three of arson, and several of burglary and
highway robbery. There were no prisoners for
trial from the city.
Mr. Justice Mellor, in charging the grand jury,
alluded to the system of penal servitude. Alluding
to the arson cases he said it appeared to him that
penal servitude or imprisonment had no terror for
such criminals, and that consideration induced him
to refer to the theory on which the penal system of
the country was carried out, and how far it had
succeeded or failed. The question was perhaps not
quite ripe for consideration, but he did concur in the
remarks that had been made elsewhere in regard to
ticket-of-leave convicts. He would not say it was a
good system, and he always thought we had been
too hasty in abandoning the old system of trans-
Fortation ; for he thought there was little chance
of reforming the old and confirmed criminal as long
as he remained in this country. Bat under the
ticket-of-leave system a man sentenced to penal
servitude might have a portion of his term of servi-
tude remitted it his conduct had been good subse-
quent to the passing of his sentence. The object of
this was to induce the convict to practise habits of
self-restraint, and to accustom himself to labour, so
that those habits might influence his conduct on
regaining liberty. And he was at a loss to know
how the carrying out of the full term of confinement
would benefit the public, or that it would effect a
greater amount of security for the public than if
the prisoner was liberated before the full comple-
tion of his term with habits of self-restraint and in-
dustry engrafted in his character. His own experi-
ence induced him to place no faith in the reforma-
tion of any criminal after he had attained a cer-
tain age, but he considered the reformatory system
which had been lately introduced into this country
one well suited to the treatment of juvenile
offenders. But with regard to the present system
of the treatment of adult criminals, he thought
they could not say that it bad utterly failed. On the
contrary, if they could not return to the old system
of transportation he thought no better system could
be devised than that now in practice. It was, per-
haps due:to:the ticket-of-leave system that criminals
were not reclaimed. He believed there was very
little chance of reclaiming a man who had suffered
penal servitude ; and employers of labour were
naturally averse to taking iato their service persons
of this kind. His lordship, after some further re-
marks, came to the conclusion that recurrence to the
transportation system was the only means of assur-
ing to the public comparative security of person and
property.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO UPSET A RAILWAY TRAIN.
Charles Cottrell was charged with placing a piece
of timber on the West Midland Railway, at Norton,
near Worcester, with intent to obstruct the traffic.

Mr. Best conducted the prosecution; the pri
soner was undefended.

It appeared that on the morning of Dec. 1 a dis-
tance post had been removed from its position and
placed on the line. A luggage train had met with
the obstruction, but the engine had thrust it off the
rail without causing any damage, except to the post.
Suspicion fell on the prisoner, and the police, with
some difficulty, traced the crime to him. He pre-
tended drunkenness.

Having been convicted,
The learned Judge passed sentence of four years'
Trnal servitude, and commented on the enormity
of the offence.

It appears this is the third case of the kind that
has occurred on different part of the railway within
six months.

ARSON.

SVm. Colston and Geo. Robinson were charged
with maliciously setting fire to a barn, the property
of Wm. Tolley, at Northwich, on Nov. 16.
This was another diabolical case. The two pri-
soners had gone to the house of Mr. Tolley, a large
farmer at Northwich, on Sunday morning, the 10th
ult , and asked for alms. They were told there was
nothing for them, on whic`a they muttered threats
about knocking a hole in the premises. They lin-
gered about the place a short time, and, having
begged some matches of a cottager, deliberately set
the barn on fire. A quantity of corn and imple-
ments in the barn were destroyed.
The prisoners, on being arraigned, pleaded guilty,
and were sentenced to 6 years' penal servitude each.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LIVERPOOL, Dec. 11.

CROWN COURT.

SHOOTING A SAILOR ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP.

James William Causeland, 37,was charged with
shooting Thomas Farrel, on board the American
ship Young Sam, on the 18th ult.
The prisoner was the first mate of the above ves-
sel, and the prosecutor was a seaman an board of
her. The Young Sam was lying in the river be-
tween Liverpool and New Brighton, and the prose-
cutor and some of the other sailors were pumping.
While they were at work they were talking loudly,
on which the prisoner told them to hold their
tongues and mind their work. Farrel, thinking
that the prisoner's interference was uncalled for
and vexatious, replied to the effect that he would
not be bullied as he had been on the last voyage.
Ultimately the prisoner ordered Farrel to be placed
in irons, but Farrel, drawing a knife, said that he
would not be put in irons even if they killed him.
The second mate at this point armed himself with
a bowieknife and an iron bar, and joined in the al-
tercation, but before any blows were struck the pri-
soner came out of the cabin with a revolver, and
shot Farrel through the hand and on the hip.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully
wounding.
Sentence deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec.II.

MARYLEBONE.—CAPTURE OF A BURGLAR.—
A fellow, with a slight moustache, who gave the
name of Chas. Austin, but refused his address, was
charged with burglariously entering the house of
J. H. Tremenheere, Esq., 12, Howley-place, Pad-
dington, with intent to rob, &c.
John Leach, a railway porter, late 334 D, said—
About two this morning, I was aroused by hearing
the sniashin. g of glass, and hearing something fall.
For some time after this I listened, and upon two
distinct occasions heard something move, when I
got up and looked through the window into the
garden, where, by the reflection of the moon, I saw
a man's figure upon the window. I put on some of
my elothts, and lighting a candle, I went down to
the garden, and as I got there I saw a man jump on
to the wall. Previous to this I heard some one try
to get in at the back door in the garden. I got the
assistance of a constsble, and we went over the
house and garden, and just as we had finished our
search we heard cries for assistance, and on getting
to the spot I found the prisoner struggling and strik-
ing.
an officer, when I seized him and knocked his
head against the coping of the wail, after which tie
said he would go quietly. The house is full of fur-
niture and valuables, and I am left in charge of it
by Mr. Tremenheere. The flower-pots in the closet
had been knocked down and the window wag open,

the entrance having been effected by slipping back
the catch.
Wm. Mitchell, 71 D, said—About three o'clock
this mornicg I was in Howley-place, and bearing
a disturbance, and that a burglar was about, I
went to the end of the gardens, whilst a brother
officer went into the house, I watched for about five
minutes, when I saw prisoner climb over three gar-
den walls, then into Herbert Villa, and then jump
into the road. Prisoner ran towards the place
where I was, and I took hold of him by the collar,
when he said, " What do you w -Int to touch me for?
I wonder at you." He, as I took hold of him, tried
to strike me, when I called for assistance. He was
conveyed to the station, where, on being searched, a
box of silent matches and a knife were found on
him. On taking off his boots his feet were found to
be covered with fresh mud and mould.

Samuel Doble, 147 D, said—This morning I was
directed to go and examine the premises, 12, How-
ley-place, and found that the catch of the window
had been forced back with a knife. I went into the
closet and saw the marks of naked feet. At the back
of the ga, den of No. 18, in the corner, there were
marks as if a man had been sitting down, as well as
the marks of a man's toes. The prisoner's clothes
corresponded with the marks on the mould in the
corner. On looking about I saw that some mould had
been turned up and disturbed, and on looking it
over I found a couple of skeleton keys, with curl-
ously-co lstructed wards at each end, making as good
as four keys. The marks upon the window entirely
corresponded with the knife found on the prisoner.
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week.
AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.—CharIes Pearce and
George Johnson, young fellows, and Caroline Pearce
a young woman, who behaved herself with bad de-
meanor in the box, were charged on remand as under.
A young man named James Collins, who has upon
many occasions placed parties in the hands of the
police for thieving and robberies at shops, said that
about half-past five in the evening he was in the
Hampstead-road, when he saw Charles Pearce go to
the shop of Mr. Plant, hatter, and take down a
bundle of umbrellas, whilst the other two prisoners
" covered" him. After they left with the plunder
they went up a gateway, and he (witness) spoke to
the police.
Mr. Plant said the umbrellas produced were his
property.
The further evidence went to show that when the
prisoners were taken they made a most determined
resistance to the officers, Maybank, 270 S, and Mer-
rick, 328 8, before they were got to the station-
house. They had since threatened that they would
murder Collins and the prosecutor.
Mr. Mansfield committed all the prisoners for trial.

They all begged to be dealt with by his worship,
but they were removed, as it is believed that former
convictions will be proved against them on their

trial.

SUPPOSED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Five boys,
named Henry Sell, Thomas Lewis, Benjamin Mop-
pet, George Barton, and Charles Austin, and two
women named Charlotte Taylor and Sarah Howard,
mother and daughter, were placed at the bar,
charged by Jones, 174 D, under these circum-
stances :

It appeared OA on the previous evening Mr.
Northeote, cheesemonger, of Clifton-road, Padding-
ton, was robbed of two Bath chaps, and in conse-
quence of Sell being suspected as one of the thieves,
Jones followed him into a house in Devonshire-
street and took him into custody. On his being
told what he was wanted for, he said he was not
the only one that was there. There were four others
in it, at the same time giving their names and ad-
dresses. They were soon after captured, and from
certain information he (the officer) received, he
went to No. 10, Paul-street, where the female pri-
soners lodged. Taylor was asked what she had
done with the Bath chaps, to which she replied that
she knew nothing about them, and at the same
moment Jones observed her place a cloth under the
bed. He laid hold of it, and on opening it dis-
covered a smoking-hot "chap," which had evidently
not been long taken out of the pot. She then said
that her daughter had bought it. Howard, for
whose arrival he (Jones) waited some time, at length
returned home, when she repeated what her mother
had stated, viz., that she had bought the " chaps"
for sixpence, but did not know from whom. The
rooms occupied by the two women were searched,
and in them were discovered a quantity of gloves,
hair-nets, linen, cards, scented soap, some purses,
and cigars, and, in addition thereto, no fewer than
83 duplicates for watches, rings, dresses, &c.
The officers applied for a remand, when
Mr. Mansfield ordered them to be brought up
again next Wednesday.

CLERKENWELL.—A TRADESMAN SENT TO
PRISON FOR ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—John
Eaton, eged 30, a silversmith, carrying on business
at 3, Oakley-road, Islington, was charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police-
constable Taylor, 336 N, and Miles, 434 N, in the
execution of their duty at Islington.
The defendant, who has before figured at this
court on charges of disorder and assaults, behaved
in a very rude manner to the magistrate, called bim
and the officers bad names, interrupting the pro-
ceedings by dreadful oaths.
The prisoner, it appeared, was drunk the night
before, and got into a cab which was already en-
gaged. When asked to get out he refused, and the
police were then called, on which the prisoner got
out and struck and kicked the constables, and be-
haved in a very violent manner. He made a great
disturbance, and it was with much difficulty he
could be got to the station.

The prisoner said he was not going to deny that
he had struck the police, and be would do so again,
or any other man—(a laugh)—if they interfered with
him. He was a respectable man, and could pay any
amount of fine the magistrate liked to inflict.
The magistrate said he should send the prisoner
to the House of Correction for 21 days, with hard
labour, without the option of a fine.
An application was afterwards made to remit the
imprisonment on payment of a fine, but the magis-
trate declined to alter his decision.

LAMBETH.—THE CHARGE AGAINST A SERVANT
OF HAVING ASSISTED HER SWEETHEART IN PLUN-
DERING HER MASTER.—Martha Quentrell the
young woman who had been in custody for nearly a
fortnight :on a charge of being concerned with a
young man who had been keeping company with
her in stealing from the residence of Mr. Rudd, her
ma ter, a gold watch and several articles of plate,
of the value of nearly £6O, was again placed at the
bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton.

It will be recollected from the testimony given on
the former examination, that on the day of the
robbery prisoner wassent upstairs by her mistress to
do up the rooms, and about ten o'clock she came
downstairs and asked her mistress if she had heard
footsteps in the drawing-room, and also heard the
front door open and close, as if some person went
out. The prisoner affected great alarm, and run-
ning up to her bedroom, at the top of the house, ex-
claimed that thieves had been in the house, and had
broken her box open and taken away £2 155., her
money. Suspicion was at once entertained that the
prisoner was connected with the robbery, for though
she had been nearly two hours upstairs she had not
done a single thing; and on Mr. Rudd's return
home he sent to the Brixton station for Sergeant
Hammond, 10 I', and that officer looking at the
manner in which the plate-chest and the prisoner's
box had been forced open, he had very little doubt
of the prisoner's participation in the robbery. Mr.
Rudd, her master, however did not wish to give her
into custody at the moment, and said he should
take till the morning to consider it, but in the course
of the night the prisoner broke out of the house by
forcing the kitohen window, and was not appre-
hended until the following evening, when she was
met in Newington by the officer. Between the first
and second examination the prosecutor received a
brown paper parcel, in which was enclosed a small
iron bar or "jemmy," and a note addressed to him,
the letter purporting to have been written by the
person who had committed the robbery, and who
signed himself "Burglar to her Majesty," and stat-
ing that his slavey, the prisoner, knew nothing
whatever about it ; and since the last examination
Mr. Rudd had received, in the same hannwriting, a
note of a threatening character. A Norfolk clergy-
man and magistrate was now present at the pri-
soner's examination, and gave a high character of her
father, who, he said, lived in the parish, and is a
respectable man, and testimonials to the same effect
were also furnished to:the magistrate by several re-
spectable gentlemen.
Sergeant Hammond applied for a further remand,
as he had not been able to apprehend her supposed
companion in the robbery, but the application
was opposed by the prisoner's attorney, who con-
tended that there was not a tittle of evidence to
show her guilt, and therefore hoped his worship
would not detain her longer in custody, but at once
discharge her.
Mr. Norton observed that the case was one that
could not be hurried over, and he must therefore
grant the remand.

THAMES.—VIOLENT GAROTTE ROBBERY
Catherine Harrington, a strong and mascaline,
woman, was brought before Mr, Woolrych, charg'en
with having, in conjunction with two others not ia
custody, assaulted and robbed a seaman, named
Morris Hurbur, belonging to the collier ship Chance,
lying in the river.
The prosecutor said he was in Ratcliff-highwaYd
on the preceding evening. He was not sober and
not drunk, but he knew the prisoner was the person
wbo took from him 17s. 6d. or 18s. There were two
florins, 8 shillings, and 19 sixpences in his pocket`'
the right-hand trousers pocket. He was in a public-
house in the Highway called the United States, and
had three pots of porter with a shipmate, whom he
came on shore to have a carouse with. When h.e,
came out of the United States three persons laiu
hold of him, and one of them—it was the prisoner'

If he had had any instrument in his hand he would

he saw the prosecutor come from a night-house with
two other sailors, this morning, and after Harbor
had left his shipmates he went down a dark end

indeed, sir.
Mr. Woolrych—l shall send you for trial at the
Old Bailey for a highway robbery with violence.

Ito was afterwards stated by Dillon, a police ea'
