LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 6.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. JusticeCOLERIDGE,.
and Special Juries.)
IVALTON V. GAVIN.

This was an action brought to recover compensation
in damages for an alleged false imprisonment.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Dasent appeared for
the plaintiff; an-I the Attorney- General and Mr. D.
Hill, Q.C., with Mr. Welsby, were counsel for the de-
fendant.

It appeared that the plaintiff had been arrested as
a deserter from the Royal Artillery, when it was alleged
he had been duly and legally enlisted, and that he had
been kept in custody in the guard-house of the Ipswich
barracks, of which Major Gavin, the defendant in the
present action, was the commander.
Thomas Churchyard, examined by Mr. Dasent, said
he was a solicitor at Woodbridge, where petty sessions
were held.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL objected to this evidence,
as not being relevant to the point at issue.
James Angier said he was a surgeon of Ipswich.
Knew a Mr. Pownall, he was a solicitor, and had acted
professionally for him. Saw him in April hastening to
the barracks, and went with him—they heard that
Major Gavin was with his regiment, the 18th Lancers.
They waited until he returned. Mr. Pownall then said
he had come about the illegal enlistment of a person.
The Mutiny Act was referred to. Mtkjor Gavin be-
haved very politely to them and said he knew nothing
of the case. Major Gavin had been 18 months in com-
mand of the barracks.

--Franklin, examined by Mr. DASENT, was a law-
stationer at Ipswich. From instructions received by him
from Mr. Pownall he went to the barracks to see Wal-
ton, but was not allowed ; was refused on several similar
applications.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It was
on the Ist of May he went to the barracks. Made a
memorandum of the circumstance.
Walter Robertson, by Mr. M. CHAMBERS.—IIe was a
clerk to Mr. Pownell in 1848. Went with a letter,
which he gave to Major Gavin, as it was directed. There
was no answer. Some unto after asked if his master
could see the plaintiff, and was told he could not.
The letter in question was here asked for by Mr.
Chambers.

- The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that such a pro-
ceeding was unnecessary.
Hir LORDSHIP ruled in favour of the production.
The letter was read, and explained the illegality before
referred to.

John Shirwood, by Mr. CHAMBERS —ls a corporal in
the 18th Lancers. Was on guard when the plaintiff was
brought to the guard house, and placed there as a de-
serter. He never knew there was a black hole connected
with the barracks. Walton was locked up in the cell
from nine at night until six in the morning. Mounted
guard twice while Walton was there. No one was allowed
to see Walton. The prisoner was not allowed to
have any food that night given him by friends. Major
Gavin was in command.

Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY' GENERAL --. Wal-
ton was treated the same as others in custody.
Charles J. Jones, by Mr. DASENT, said an application
had been made for a habeas corpus ; it was issued, but
no return was made to it.

An argument here ensued as to the right to examine
with regard to charges made in Mr. Pownall's bill.
Examination resumed—The charges in the bill were
proper and fair.

Affidavits made by Major Gavin were here handed in.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY.-GENERAL—The
charges in the bill for proceedings taken in the matter
of the habeas corpus amounted to about 141. 7e., as Mr.
Pownall had to come to London.

Robertson recalled—All the country business charged
for had been done.

For the defence the ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended
that Major Gavin had only done his duty according to
the articles of war. When the writ of habeas corpus was
issued he had discharged the plaintiff, w hich he thought
was a satisfaction of the writ. Although the enlistment
took place on a Sunday, it was a good on e. The articles
of war also required that if a person enlisted absconded,
or refused to be attested, he should be imprisoned. The
following evidence was then gone into.
Jaines;Backhouse examined by Mr. D.:HILL—Said he
was a gunner in the Royal Artillery. He knew Bom-
bardier Hutchinson, by whom he was ordered to go to
Sutton. Ho went to visit his friends, having an order to
enlist any proper person who might present themselves.
He met the plaintiff at a public.house, who requested
that he might be enlisted. This took place a little after
four o'clock in the afternoon of a Sunday, before the
Church service was over. He refused, but was after-
wards induced to enlist him in the evening
the enlistment money, Is., was given and received, the
plaintiff agreeing to serve her Majesty Queen Victoria
for twelve years. Had know-i the plaintiff all his life-
time, and knew he was a labouring man. On the follow-
ing Monday he waited for the plaintiff at a public house,
where he had appointed to meet him previous to starting
for Ipswich; the plaintiff did not appear; he went then
to the house of the plaintiff's father, when he learned that
the plaintiff would not go, but got no reason why he
refused. Reported this to Bombardier Hutchinson.
Afterwards went with a gunner, named Crow, who took
a paper with him, to find the plaintiff; they saw him
working in a field, when the paper Crow had brought
with him was read over and given to the plaintiff, who
returned with them to Ipswich, where a billet was given
him.

Cross-examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS—At that time
had only been three weeks in the Artillery service, and
had never been to Lead-quarters. There was no ribbon
on his hat at the time in question. Walton and he had
been waiting outside the public-house on the Sunday till
the doors should be opened. While in the public-house
they enjoyed themselves as others did. lle paid for
some drink, but could not say how much. He was quite
sober all the time. Did not know whether he had 2s. or
20s. about him at the time. Got the shilling which he
gave to Walton from the bombardier. The landlord of
the house saw the shilling given to Walton. They all
walked back from Sutton to Ipswich. Ho saw Walton
afterwards handcuffed in his house. He was brought
to Ipswich.
Joseph Hutchinson examined by Mr. WELSBI—Is a

bombardier in the Royal Artillery. He gave the direc-
tions as stated by the last witness. As the plaintiff did
not come to him as directed, he filled up a description
paper respecting him, a copy of which was forwarded to
Captain - Frieze, by whom he was ordered to go back
to Sutton. Went to arrest Walton on the 27th of
April; took him to Ipswich and lodged him in the
county gaol. Tock him More a justice, who re-
fused either to commit or discharge \Valton. He
then took him back to gaol. He was asked to take
smart-money, but he could not do so, as Walton was
then a deserter. After four days had expired he took
Walton to the guard-room, where he lodged the charge
of desertion, and signed the paper and gave it to Ad
jutant Burton. Walton bed given as a reason for not
appearing at the appointed time, that his master had
told him that his enlistment was illegul; that Back-
house had teased him for two hours to enlist, He
would rather be a soldier than pay " the smart," but
his fri,•nds had got the money.
Cross-examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Had no
allowance unless he enlisted the party himself. The
allowance was his own business, and he declined to say
what it was.

By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—TweIve shillings and
sixpence was tho allowance. Did not know who had
charge of the money.
Re-examined—Backhouse had no regimentals on
when they arrested Walton. They put on the hand-
cuffs before they drew their swords, and then marched
to Ipswich.

The evidence of these witnesses were corroborated by
Wm. Crow, formerly a gunner in the service.
John Frieze examined—Was a captain in the Artil-
lery. Was in command of the recruiting party. In
consequence of what he heard, he ordered Hutchinson
to proceed against Walton as a deserter. Major Gavin
was not in the Ipswich barracks on the 7th of April,
1848.

The notice read to the plaintiff was put in evidence.
James Burton, examined by Mr. M. D. HlLL—Re-
membered the plaintiff being brought to the barracks by
Hutchinson. He had the usual allowance given to per.
sons in his situation. Was ordered to be detained as a
prisoner.

Cross-examined—Heard it said to Major Gavin that
Walton should not have been given into custody. Lie
believed the paper referred to by Hutchinson had been
destroyed.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS having been heard in reply,
The Learned JUDGE proceeded to the summing up,
stating that the chief point for the consideration of the
jury in deliberating upon their verdict was, whether
Backhouse had been duly attested, and the plaintiff pro-
perly, by that means, enlisted. It was to be presumed
that Backhouso had been attested, although there was
no evidence to show it.

While the jury were absent considering their verdict,
Mr. M. CIIA3II3ERS objected to this direction of his
Lordship. A bill of exceptions was tendered and re-
ceived.

The jury, after an absence of a short period, returned
with a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 6.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

WOOD V. HUTTON AND ANOTHER.

Witnesses were called on the part of the defendants.
Mr. Jones, solicitor to the defendants, deposed
that about the end of the year 1837, he had been con-
sulted with respect to Newman's transactions with
them. On the 13th of January, 1838, wrote a
letter (given in Mr. Martin's address to the
jury) to Mr. Walton, Newman's solicitor, re-
quiring an account of a payment of whatever
might be found due to the Messrs. Hutton. Several
other letters were likewise written to Mr. Walton on
the subject. On the 17th Dec., 1837, caused a search
to be made at the Bank of England for any invest-
ments made by Newman and his wife, and ascertained
that 2,1001. was found invested in the name of "John
Newman and Elizabeth Ann his -wife." On Nov.
14, 1835, 7001. was invested, 1,2001. on the 18th
Oct•, 1837, and 2001. on the 19th of the same month
[Here a clerk of the Bank of England was called, and
corroborated the particulars and result of the search-
ing.] Witness continued—Attended at the defen-
dant's office on the 2d January, 1838, and found
the Messrs. Hutton, the deceased, Mr. Newman, and
Mr. Nelson, his stepson. The Messrs. Hutton
expressed their dissatisfaction at Newman having so
long delayed furnishing his books, and complained
that the " piece book " was not among them.
Newman had a red book with him, and replied that
he could make up the " piece book" from it, and that
he would return at two o'clock that day (it was
then about ten o'clock). The meeting then ter-
minated. Witness went again at two o'clock.
The parties were all there, with the
addition of Mr. Walton. Mr. William Hutton
said that Newman had that day made an
admission to himself and partner, and called upon
Newman to repeat it before the professional gentle-
men. After nsuch hesitation on the part of Newman,
and on being over and over again urged by Mr. W.
Hutton to do so, Newman said, "I owe Messrs.
Hutton 1,0001., and I wish them to place that amount
to my debit." Mr. Walton seemed surprised at this
admission, and said "No, Captain Newman, you
mean no such thing; you mean that Messrs. Hut-
ton owe you 1,0001." Captain Newman replied " No,
I mean no such thing ; I owe Messrs. Hutton 1,0001.,
and I desire they will place that amount to my debi.,.”
Mr. William Hutton then pressed Newman to say
how that sum had arisen, and then Newman said that
he had sold some gold dust, doubloons, and foreign
bills to different persons. He was then asked the
quantities, &c., and he furnished the particulars ver-
bally. He mentioned the names of Massey, Simmons,
and Childs. The bills were sold to Simmons.

Mr. Sirrell, a gold-refiner in Barbican, deposed
that on the 14th of October, 1837, a person who gave
his name as Newman called upon him and sold him a
quantity of gold dust (116 ounces) for which he paid
him 4371. 13s. 6d., at the rate of 31.165. ad. per ounce.
Mr. Jones (recalled) said the sale of the 116 ounces
of gold dust was made matter of discussion at the
meeting. Several books were produced by the Messrs.
Hutton relating to their transactions with Newman.
Newman examined them. The Nessrs. Hut-
ton complained that some of Newman's charges
were very heavy, and that some gunpowder
which had been shipped to the Coast had not been
accounted for. The meeting was then adjourned
until Tuesday, the 30th, at two o'clock. Saw nothing
in Newman's behaviour ever to make him suppose
that he was not in a state to transact business. On
the 30th instant met again, at the office of the de-
fendants, Newman, Nelson (his step son), Mr. Child
and Mr. Walton being present. After the interview
had lasted half-an-hour witness went away. Pre-
viously to leaving, the accounts had been gone into
and the " piece-book" was examined. The books of
the two last voyages were produced, and all the
books that Newman asked for were furnished.
From all the interviews and transactions that witness
had had with the deceased, Mr. Newman, he never
had any doubt that he was of sound mind.
The case was again adjourned at five o'clock until
to-morrow.

On the evening of Wednesday last, when the
train which left the London-road station at seven o'clock,
for Ashton-under-Lyne, had reached the Fairfield sta-
tion, a man named George Lees, a gardener residing at
Dukinfield, got into one of the carriages. Just at the
moment that the break was put en, for the purpose of
stopping the train at the Guide-bridge station—but while
the train was going at the rate of ten miles an hour—
Lees pushed open the door and stepped out, but was
immediately thrown down, caught between the curb-
s one and the foot-board, and dragged forward several
yards. He was picked up about twenty or thirty yards
from the regular stopping place of the train, and sent to
the Manchester Royal Infirmary as soon as possible. It
was then found that the bone of his upper right arm,
and both bones of the fore-arm, had been fractured ;
and there was also extensive laceration of the flesh. He
was in a state of collapse when admitted into the Infix..
mart, from which he never thoroughly rallied, and died
early on the Friday morning. On Saturday an inquest
was held on the body, when the jury returned a verdict
of " Accidental death."—Manchester Guardian.

On Thursday, the 6th instant, Mr. William
Winkley, the Registrar of the Harrow district, iegis-
tered the lamented death of her late Majesty the Queen
Dowager, accompanied by the Registrar-General, and
in the presence of Lord Howe, her late Majesty's Lord
Chamberlain; Sir David Davas, and other members of
the household.

THE GREAT CASTLE SHOW AND AGRICULTURAL
DINNER AT BIRMINGHAM.—BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.
—The arrangements for this extensive exhibition
are well nigh concluded. The whole of the stock,
eac., of which it will be composed, will be sent to the
show yard on Saturday, and on Monday the judges
will proceed to award the prizes. On the follow-
ing day, the exhibition will bo opened to the
public. A very complete and accurate catalogue has
Bern drawn up from the certificates. The immense
building in which the show is to take place was under-
taken by Mr. Briggs, of Bradford-street, and does credit
both to his ability and enterprise. The arrangements
with regard to the dinner hays been made. The chair
will bo taken by the Right lion, the Earl of Aylesford.
the president of the exhibition,, the vice-chair by
William Lucy, Eyq , the mayor.
A HINT TO THE FREEMASONS OF THE WEST OF
ENGLAND.—At the dinner of the Colston Society, in
Bristol, the week before last, Mr. W. Proctor, with
reference to the restoration of St. Mary Redcliffe
Church, urged by Mr. W. D. Bushell, then present, who
had headed the Freemasons on the day the first stone of
the new works was laid—said be had heard there was a
disposition on the part of the craft to connect themselves
with the restoration, and he suggested that they should
set a• foot a subscription and undertake some special
portion of the fabric. This would indeed be a return on
the part of the craft to the good ways of their mediaeval
predecessors.—Bailder.

- COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday an accident of
a serious nature occurred at the pit belonging to Henry
Woods, Esq., Woodhouses, Wikan. Tu:! men went to
their work at six o'clock, and about twenty of them de-
scended the pit. About an hour afterwards, an explo-
sion of fire-damp took pLce, when the men, in great
alarm, moved to the eye of the pit. They got into the
cage, and were ascending, when a loud cry wzs heard.
and it was ascertained that. the head of a boy named
Howorth had been severed from his holy. Oihers were
slightly injured in their haste to get into the cage, and
two or three sustained severe burns from the explosion.
