A FATAL BAPTISM.--011 Saturday night last, a
person of the name of Ann Griffiths, of Castle Foregate,
was about to be initiated into the society of Mormonites,
for which purpose she was taken down to the river near
the Horse Boat Underdale, to be baptised. There were
only four or five persons present. One of the "elders,"
named Thomas Lloyd, took the female into the river to
immerse her, and after he had completed the ceremony,
and was about returning with her to the shore, his foot
slipped, and they were both plunged into about six feet
water. One of the persons on the bank, named James
Bishop, succeeded in rescuing the female, but the man
was drowned, and the body has not yet been found.—

SHIPBUILDING IN THE PORT OF SUNDERLAND.—
The number of ships on the stocks ready for launching
and in the course of being built is 87. Many of these
are of the burthen of 400, 500, 600, and 700 tons, and
classed A 1 8 years, 10 years, 12 years, and 13 years.
And this in spite of the prophesied impending ruin of
navigation law repeal!—Sunderland Herald.
FOREIGN SUPPLIES.—The arrivals from foreign
ports at the port of London, on Tuesday last, were the
most limited which have occurred for a great length of
time. The only vessels which reported at the Custom-
house on that day were the Johanna Cornelia, from
Ghent, with an entire cargo, comprising 86 tons' weight
of potatoes; the Neptune, from Nieuport, with 236 cases
and 20 casks of apples ; and the Helen Cook, from
Abbeville, with 40 bushels of apples and 98 tons' weight
of potatoes on board.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 9.
Before Sir J. K. Baum)
[N THE MATTER OF THE JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES'
WINDING-UP ACTS, 1848 AND 1849, AND THE
TONTINE LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Mr. W. T. S. DANIEL and Mr. ROXBURGH sup-
ported the petition of Sarah Dee, a contributory to
the liabilities of :the above company, which prayed
the absolute dissolution and winding-up of the com-
pany under the former Winding. up Act, and the
Winding-up Act Amendment Act of last session. In
June, 1845, the company was registered provisionally;
on the 30th of June, 1846, the deed of settlement of
the company was executed ; and on the 17th of Au-
gust, 1849, a meeting was held, at which the disso-
lution of the company was resolved on, and on the
21st of the same month a circular was issued stating
he transfer of the business of the society to some
other company.
Mr. J PALMER appeared for the Hon. Edward
Cecil Curzon and several other directors, and said
hat those gentlemen had, with a view to the winding-
up of the company, succeeding in brit-zing its affairs
nto so small a compass, that the expense of the in
terference of the Court was unnecessary. Ile also
.uggested that the impos?ibility of bringing the out.
-tending policy holders into any compulsory arrange-
ment was a practical difficulty in the way of winding
ip an insurance company, which might take it out of
the Winding-up Acts. These directors were never-
theless ready to submit to any order the Court might
think it fit to make.
Mr. DANIEL said that the directors had not paid
their calls.

Mr. PALMER wholly denied this. Those for whom
he appeared had in fact contributed by far the largest
proportion of the fun,.s, and there was no evidence of
any default on their part.
His HONOUR observed that there was not even an
allegation to that effect in the petition. He thought
the difficulty suggested as to the policy holders was
not sufficient to prevent the application of the Wind-
ing-up Acts, and he should, therefore, make the com-
mon order for the dissolution and winding-up of this
company, as prayed by the petition.
IN THE MATTER OF THE WINDING-UP ACTS OF 1848
AND 1849, AND OF THE KILDRICXEN SILVER LEAD
MINING COMPANY.

Mr. 1111TIIERINGTON appeared in support of the
petition in this case of Mr. Henry Crockford, which
was unopposed, praying the absolute dissolution and
winding up of the affairs of this company.
His HONOUR made the order as prayed.
IN THE MATTER OF TEIII LOYAL PRIDE OF THE
THAMES LODGE OF ODD FELLOWS.

Mr. ELMSLEY applied for a restraining order under
the sth Victoria, c. 5, to restrain the transfer of two
rums of 1001. and 501. stock, standing in the names of
the trustees of the above lodges.
The application was supported by an affidavit
stating that the trustees had declared their intention
of selling out the stock and applying the proceeds con-
trary to the rules of the society.
His HONOUR, after asking whether the application
was wi,h a view to a future suit, and being answered
in the affirmative, made the order.

COURT OF (WISELY'S BENCH, Nov. 9.
&TRUTT V. WHITCOMBE AND OTHERS.

This was an action to recover the price of certain
advertisements inserted in the Bucks Herald and
Windsor and Eton Journal. At the trial, which took
place at Westminster, before Lcrd Denman, at the
sittings after last term, the defendant obtained a
verdict.

Mr. Enwm JAMES, for the plaintiff, now moved for
a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against
the evidence. The plaintiff, a solicitor in London,
was the proprietor of the Bucks Herald, and
the defendants, who were solicitors at Gloucester,
were the promoters of the Forest of Dean
Railway. The defendants paid money into court, and
the simple question was, whether the plaintiff was
entitled to be paid, as he contended, at the rate of ls.
a line for certain advertisements, or at the rate of 6d.
a line, as contended for by the defendants. The accent
of the defendants had called at the plaintiff's office,
and was then distinctly shown a card, in which the
charge for Parliamentary notices was stated to be is.
a line ; notwithstanding which, the jury gave a verdict
for the defendants.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said, the Court would COM
municate with Lord Denman on the subject.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 9.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr,
Justice CRESSWELL and a Common Jury.)
DRAPER V. TUB COUNT DE TORRI.

In this ease, which was partly heard on Thurs-
day, Mr. Ball appeared as counsel for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Parnell for the
defence. .

Mr. BALL stated that the action was brought to
recover damages for an assault and false imprison-
ment. It appeared that the plaintiff was an uphol-
sterer and broker, carrying on business in Newman-
street, Oxford-street, and in his capacity as a broker
was applied to on the 18th of May in the present
year to go to the house of the defendant, in Gordon-
street, Gordon-square, for the purpose of taking posses-
sion of the goods and effects under a bill of sale. He
received his instructions from a Mr. 13raham, who is ti
medical man, residing also in Newman-street. On
arriving at the defendant's house he found a person
named Myers, and some policemen, together with a
clerk of Messrs. Wire and Child, solicitors, there,
and on stating the object of his visit it became evi-
dent that resistance was intended. He, nevertheless,
under the authority of the bill of sale commenced his
duty, by attempting to remove the dining-table
from a room on the ground floor, when he was given
into custody of the policemen present on a charge of
stealing the table, and conveyed to St. Giles's police-
station, where he remained locked up for the
night. The defendant followed in his carriage,
accompanied by his legal adviser, and the charge
was duly entered by the superintendent. Next
morning he was taken before Mr. Henry, and by him
discharged.
It appeared on behalf of the defendant that the
parties to the bill of sale were Myers, who was de-
scribed as a medical man, with which profession he
united the somewhat incongruous occupation of a
furniture and general dealer, carrying on his multi-
farious occupations at 73, Arlington-street, and a
Mr. Braham, who was unfavourably known to the
medical profession as advertising under the name of
Messrs. Liston and Co., Newman street, in cases of a
peculiar description. By the bill of sale the property
was made over by the former of these persons to the
latter. It appeared that the transaction was entered
into between these two parties solely for the purpose
of extorting money from the defendant, who was a
nobleman both of rank and fortune ; and that there
was not the slightest ground for Myers' claim on the
Count's furniture, nor had he any right or authority to
dispose of it. It was proved that Myers had some time
since endeavoured to induce the Count to retain him as
his secretary, at the salary of 1,000/. per annum, and
had male three several attempts to obtain his signature
to certain agreements, all of which applications the Count
thought proper to refuse, and had, in consequence,
been subjected to many attempts at extortion. It
was admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to a ver-
dict; but, as there was good reason to suppoae that
he had acted not altogether without knowledge of the
circumstances, the smallest amount of damages would
be a sufficient compensation for the injuries he had
sustained.

In reply it was contended that the plaintiff acted
merely in his capacity of a broker, under the autho-
rity of the bill of sale, and had no further interest in
the matter.

The jury, after some hesitation, returned a verdic
for the plaintiff—damages 201.

BARWICK V. FULLER.
Mr. Sergeant Bytes and Mr. Pigott appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr.
J. Brown for the defendant. _ _

The claim was for the sum of 2501., alleged to be
due to the plaintiff for twelve months' service, as
secretary of. the Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Junc-
tion Railway Company, from the defendant, as one
of the directors. The scheme was one of the numerous
abortive speculations of the year 1845.
The plaintiff failed in proving more than three
months' service with the committee, and obtained a
verdict for 501.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 9.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, an
a Bench of Magistrates.)
Elizabeth Barkely, a lame old woman, was brought
up to receive the judgment of the Court for keeping a
hcuse of ill fame.

The defendant, it may be in the recollection of
some of our readers, was convicted of the _offence
imputed to her as far back as the month of March
last, upon the prosecution of the London Society for
the Protection of. Young Females, when she was
ordered to enter into recognizances to come up to
receive judgment when called upon to do so; the
meaning of that course of proceeding. being, that if
she desisted from carrying on her disgraceful occupa-
tion, and gave up the house in which she had hitherto
followed her vocation, she would not be called upon
to appear to receive sentence. However, the defen-
dant not only did not abandon the house, but she
renewed her hateful traffic in a worse manner and
more extensively than before, and therefore notice had
been served upon her to come up for judgment.
The Learned JUDGE, in addressing the defendant,
told her that if she had not been a cripple she might
rely upon it that the sentence the Court would have
passed upon her would not have been for a smaller
period of imprisonment than nine months, in conse-
quence of her having violated the understanding upon
which so much consideration had been exhibited
towards her at the time of her conviction. As how-
ever, she was now suffering from a fractured arm,
the Court would only sentence her to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

Dennis Donovan was indicted for having stolen a
coat, the property of William John Moscow.
Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner, who is a labouring
man, with two others, hired a boat to take them across

from Deptford, after the termination of their day's
work, to Wapping, and the prisoner sat upon the coat
in question, which belonged to the waterman. Soon
after the men had been landed the waterman dis-
covered that his coat had been taken away, and set on
foot some inquiries, which resulted in the lost pro-
perty being traced to the possession of one Moses
Jacobs, an old clothes' dealer in Petticoat-lane.

Jacobs said that he now produced the coat, which
he had purchased in the regular way of business, but
which coat had been claimed by the prosecutor.
The Learned JUDGE—WeII, now what we want
to know is, from whom was it that you bought that
coat ? Jacobs—l'll tell you what it is, my Lord,
they say that a Jew cannot ever be done; but I'll tell
you this, upon my word and honour, that I was
regularly done, aye, regularly taken in in this busi-
ness 1 never was so done in all my life.—(Laughter.)

The Learned JUDGE—WeII, it is not often that we
hear of persons of your persuasion being " done," as you
cad it. But now tell ua from whom you bought this coat?
Jacobs (holding up the coat in a very excited state)
—Look at it your Worship, look at it; why I gave 33.
for it, and it is not worth 23. 61. You'll see if you
only look at it that the transaction was a regular
" do." \V hy, I'll tell you what it is, I'll forfeit 50/.
if you can find any gentleman who understands what
business is in my line, who would give more than
half-a-crown for the coat.—(Roars of laughter.) Oh !
I was done, I was done I—(lncreased laughter.)
Upon my solemn oath, my Lord, I have lost at the
very least sixpence by the deal.—(Continued and up-
roarious laughter,) Oh, I was let in nicely in this
business, wasn't I ? Why, I never was let in before
in such a manner in all the days of my life. I never
was done before in such a way by any man living. I
was " done !" Now, just look at the coat (holding it
Out towards the Bench) ; look at it, your Lordship,
do, and you'll soon be convinced that I have been
done in the matter.—(Roars of laughter.) Look at
it, your Worship, do.
The Learned JUDGE, who was scarcely able to
utter a word from the state of convulsed laughter into
which he, as well as every one else in court except the
witness, bad been thrown by the manner of Jacobs,
said—No, thank you, I don't want to look at the
coat. All we are anxious to arrive at is whom did
you buy it of?—who was the person ?—was it the
prisoner at the bar ? Jacobs (with increased vehe
mence)—Why, you see, your Lordship, I have been
33 years in business; oh, so I have, 33 years, and in
all that time, s'help me God, I've never been done
before this deal.—(l burst of laughter.) No, I was
never done before, in all the dealings I have had in all
my life. Oh, wasn't I done!—(Great laughter.) Do
look at the coat, your Worship, do, and then you will
see that I gave more than it was worth. Oh, wasn't
I " done brown" by him? Oh, God knows that I
was.—(Convulsions of laughter.)
The Learned JUDGE—Witness, attend. I cannot
allow the time of the public to be thrown away in
this manner. Tell me whom you bought the coat of.
Jacobs, who had never taken his gaze from the coat,
said—Why, a coat like this—oh, it isn't worth more
than Is. 6d. at the utmost outside. Why, I assure
your Worship that I think I should be ashamed to ask
any one in the trade even ls. 6d. for it. Oh, was not
I sold! Oh, I never was so much sold in all my
days.—(Great laughter.)
The Learned JUDGE—Witness, you must answer
the question ; whom did you buy the coat from—was
it the prisoner ? Jacobs—Why, you see, your Lord-
ship, that it was just at dark, and so I could not see
the lace very well ; I cannot tell who it was. I'm a
very careful man, you see, your Worship, and I cannot
for the reason I have just stated, say who it was. I
cannot say who the gentleman was that brought it.
Oh, but wasn't I done I was clean done out of
6d." by the deal.—(A burst of laughter followed
this exclamation, which was uttered in the most de•
sponding and pathetic tone of voice.)
There was no witness who could identify the pri-
soner as being the man who had sold the coat ; and
,herefore the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

A respectably dressed man, who gave his name as
Henry James, aged 62, but who refused to give his
address; was charged before Mr. Alderman Carden
with stealing a silver spoon from the parlour of the
Dr. Butler's Head Tavern, White Rose-court, Cole-
man•street.

Thomas Grimbly, waiter at the Dr. Butler's Head,
said, that on the previous day the prisoner entered
the dining-room, took up the newspaper, and began
to read it. Witness's suspicions were aroused in
consequence of missing some plate a short time since
from a table which he (the prisoner) had occupied,
and accordingly he went up to him with a bill of
fjre. The prisoner, on its being presented to him,
..aid that he did not want anything at that time, as
he expected a gentleman every moment from the

Alderman CAUDEN—Yes, and I want to see some
