CLARK V. LEACH.

Mr. Evans and Mr. WelsbycOncTucted the case of the
plaintiff', and Mr. Townsend appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a salt merchant at Runcorn. In that
town there is no bank, so that persons in business having
cheques and letters of credit to cash were in the habit of
sending them for that purpose by the captains of ves-
sels going to Liverpool. The defendant is a captain of
a steam-vessel running to Liverpool ; and the plaintiff
entrusted to him a letter of credit for 451. to cash for
him in Liverpool, which the defendant promised to do.
He took the letter of credit, cashed it, and, on his re-
turn, gave the plaintiff 51., stating thtl,t he had lost
from his pocket a roll of notes, which formed the re-
mainder. It was contended that defendant did not take
reasonable and proper care of the letter of credit, and
was therefore liable.

Mr. TOWNSEND, for the defendant, contended that
Leach was not liable for the loss of the notes, inasmuch
as he was a gratuitous bailee of the letter of credit, not
performing this service for the plaintiff in consideration
of hire and reward, but simply as a personal friend.
Tho Learned JUDGE said that the questions for the
jury were uhether defendant was employed to per form
the duty for hire and reward, and if so, did ho take rea-
sonable and proper care of the money. The evidence
clearly made out that he had undertaken the duty of
coshing the letter of credit iu consideration of receiving
remuneration fur the trouble. That being so, assuming
that he was to be paid, did he use such diligence as a
man should use when he undertakes such a service for
reward. The amount of care to be employed in such a
case differs materially from that required where a party
takes upon himself such a duty in the capacity of a
friend : ho is required to be more strict if he svoiks for
hire than if he winks for friendship. The defendant in
this case should take such care et the proceeds of the
letter of credit as is reasonably required to protect such
property as bank notes—that is, more cure than is suf-
fici-nt to ensure the safety of less valuable property.
Where a man has to pass through crowded thorough-
fares with such property on his person, ho should exer-
cise proportionate vigilance over it. The questions,
then, to be considered are—first, whether defendant un-
dertook the duty for hire and reward ; if he did not,
then the verdict should be for the defendant. If he per-
formed the duty for hire and reward, then the remaining
question is, whether ho had taken reasonable and pro-
per care of the property. If he had not, the verdict
should be for the plaintiff, if he had, fur the defendant,
The jury consulted for five minutes, and then returned
a verdict for the plaintiff for 401., the amount sought to
be recovered.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 7.
(Before Mr. Commissioner
IN RE CHARLES BROOK IRWIN.

This was an adjourned hearing of the application of the
insolvent for his discharge.
Mr. Cooke, with whom were Mr. Sargood and Mr.
Dunn, supported; Mr. Nicholls opposed.
The grounds of opposition were that the insolvent
had vexatiously defended en action brought by Mr.
Sandersen, on a bill of exchange, and that he had ob-
tained from Mr. Turnley, a yacht, by improper rept e-
eentations, and without having any reasonable expecta-
tions of payment.
It appeared that the insolvent obtained his final order
in this court in 1843, owing debts to the amount of
4,0001. His debts on the present occasion amount to
8,0001. In 1846, his only brother, who held a high
judicial office in India, died, leaving, as was alleged, the
insolvent entitled to estates in the counties of Cavanagh
and Neath of the value of 15,000/., and one-half of a
personal property of 15,000/., the other halt of the latter
being divided equally between himself and an only
sister. A claim was set up by the trustees of the in-
solvent's wife upon the property thus accruing, by virtue
of the terms of the marriage settlement executed in
1833, wherein he vested all his future property in trus-
tees, appointed by the wife, of which Mr. Hamer is one.
Upon the question going before the Master of the Rolls,
judgment was given in favour of the wife upon the deed
of settlement, in opposition to a claim preferred by the
assignee under the first insolvency. Mr. Turnley's com-
plaint was that in 1846, subsequent to the death of his
brother, tbo insolvent had purchased from Lim the
yacht, giving him references to his solicitors,
stating that he had considerable estates, end
that he might depend upon his honour as a
gentleman and an officer that all was right. Here-
upon Mr. Turnley took the insolvent's acceptante for the
amount for which he sold the yacht (400 I.); but from
information that he subsequently received he was in-
duced to fellow the insolvent to Liverpool, where I o
offered him back his bill and 80/., on condition of his
returning the yacht. The insolvent declined, now al-
leging that at the time the bill was not due, that he
had laid out 150/. on the yacht, and that he had at the
time no doubt but ho should be able to pay the amount.
Subsequently the insolvent sent the yacht to Mr. Hamer,
with authority to sell it. Mr. Hamer had done so, and
claimed the money.
Mr. Sanderson's objection presented no feature unusual
in such cases.
Mr. Nacuoans submitted that the transactionhernet
re-
specting the yacht was a conspiracy.
The t
n
knew at the time that Mr. Hamer was ahtrautstf,,ewieoss:er'the
whole of his property. lie knew, too, him-
self had been an insolvent in that court. Reasonable
inferencesnsaet ion must _he had the insolvent's other
tinsolvency given
his bills and blank acceptances to a horse dealer, of the
name of Samuel Lazarus Lawrence, to the amount of
7501. Not one shilling had been paid under the first in-
solvency upon also be
first from
debts to the amount of 4,0001., and he did
not believe that a shilling would be realised for the cre-
ditors upon the second.
Mr. Como.: said he should not attempt to maintain
that his client had been either a discreet
or a wise man
—his transactions with Lazarus Lawrence, Pearl, H.
Milton, William Milton, and Crotty, to the extent of
2,000/., all of whom
were horse-dealers, and all of whom
had recently been either bankrupts or insolvents in nut
Court, showed that. It had been his misfortune to fall
into bad hands. Like many other young men, he fancied
he was
a judge in horse-flesh, and his debts were swelled
by that fancy to the amount of about 5.000/. With re-
spect to the alleged misrepresentation to Mr. Turnley,
it was not denied that proporty to a, large amount bad
b:en bequeathed, but it was suid, he knew, or ought to
have known, that by the conditions of a marriage the
property was not his. It certainly did appear that he
had put his signature on the morning of his marriage to
a document that contained very strong and stringent
provisions, but it was not by any means clear that he
knew what ho had thus dune until the Master of the
Rolls had given his decision. It was an exciting ma.
went, was that morning of marriage to most persons,
and it was not to be always supposed that a man was
then exactly in his right state of wind,—(Laughter.)
He submitted that there had been no fraudulent inten-
tion on the part of his client. The four mouths that he
had been in prison might be considered a sufficient
atonement for the part he had taken in defending the
action, and the Court would, he trusted, declare bias en-
titled to his discharge.
ills HONOUR said that he considered bOth charg •
against the insolvent had been sustained. Upon the

first he should order a remand of six months. As re-
g arded the second, he believed that the insolvent was
ully aware at the time that he purchased the yacht that
he had no interest in the property that had been referred
to. He was then, and had been for some time, living
separate from his wife. If he forgot these things, he
could not very easily forget that he had been an insol-
vent in that court, that not one shilling had been
paid upon his debts, and that if he had property it
was vested in his assignees. He considered the latter
a case of fraud, and on that ground should order a re-
mand fur the period of twelve months, both remands to
dare from the vesting order. The insolvent will, there-
ford, have to remain eight months in prison.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO U S E.
Samuel Game, who had been employed on the Eastern
Counties Railway, was brought before Alderman Gibbs,
charged with having stolen a carpet bag, filled with
clothes, &a., the property of a farmer named George
Colo Francis, of Salter Grange, near Keyingham,
Holderness, Yorkshire.
The prosecutor said—Yesterday morning I came to
London from Bishops Stortford, where I left my carpet
bag, as I wa3 obliged to return on the same evening. At
two o'clock in the afternoon, as I was walking down
Bishopsgate-street to take the train at Shoreditch, I met
the prisoner, who to my surprise was carrying my carpet
bag in his hand. I went up to him, and asked him what
he was going to do with the bag, as it had my name and
address upon it. He answered, " What was that to me;
it was his bag." I then seized and took him to the sta-
tion-house, where I described the contents of my bag
before it was examined. The property in it consisted of
shirts, coats, &c., of the value of upwards of 51.
Inspector el'Lean said—When the prisoner was
brought into the station-house I found in his pocket a
key which did not fit the bag which he had in his pos-
session, and he appeared to be surprised, and said they
(the train attendants) had given him the wrong bag. I
went to the Eastern Counties Railway station after-
wards, and caused a telegraph message to be sent to
Bishops Stortford, and at halt-past 6I received in answer
to the communication the carpet bag produced, which had
upon it a card containing the name " S. Game, passen-
ger to London." The prisoner, upon seeing the carpet
bag with his name upon it, said it was his property. It
contained a shirt, a small ham, a piece of soap, and three
religious books, and was extremely unlike that which he
was charged with having stolen. I found upen his per-
son a silver watch and 11. 17s. 4d. He said he had been
a porter on the Eastern Counties Railway, and I found
in his pocket a certificate of good character from the
authorities there.

Alderman Ginns (to the prisoner)—What have you
to sly to this very serious charge ? The prisoner—I
brought away the bag in a mistake.
Alderman Gans—l shall commit you for trial.
_ .

SLnne of the officers in attendance said it was a very
common practice with thieves to bring with them, on
railway journeys, carpet bags containing things of no
value, in the hope of being able to make profitable ex-
changes on the way.

Committed for trial.
Joseph Harvey, an ostler out of place, was charged
with having assaulted a lady of the name of Brown.
The defendant, who was standing apparently in liquor
at the corner of Finsbury-circns, while the complainant
and another lady were walking along, tried to grasp
one of them. The complainant was less fortunate
than her companion, and was seized by the fellow.
She, however, got aw.,y from him, and ran as fast as
she could into an eating-house in the neighbourhood,
but was followed by him into the parlour, where he
seized her, and was with great difficulty and violence
removed by the man of the house and flung Into the
stree;. In so outrageously following the lady he broke
a window, and was at last deposited in the station-house.
The terror of the ladies was, as might be expected,
excessive.
Tne defendant said be was so drunk he dial not know
whit he was after.

Alderman GIBB 3 said the sentence upon the
defaudant was that he should pay halt-a-crown
fur tho pane of glass which was broken, five shillings
for b-yin;; drunk, and fifty shillings for the outrageoui
assault upon the lady, or one month's imprisonment and
hard labour in Bridewell.—Committed.

[Vt.fliam Cole, the driver of a cart, was charged with
having assaulted a farmer nauscd SDlne, iu a violent
manner.

The farmer was sitting on the outside of an omnibus,
when the defendant was crossing Fenehurch street with
his cart. The driver of the omnibus called out to the
defendant, who immediately lashed at the driver, but
the whip missed the person it was intended for, and al-
most cut the eye out of the unfortunate farmer.
Alderman fine you 403. or one month's im-
pri,onment for this most unprovoked assault, and if the
fine should be paid it shall go to discharge the com-
plainant's doctor's bill.
GUILDHALL.

John Lee, of 39,-geckforde-street, Pentonville, was
charged with Mr. Alderman Moon, with embezzling 201.
and various other moneys, to a very considerable amount;
the embezzlements, extending over a period of between
two and three years, sometimes amounted to 404 per
month, but only four cases were proved.
The prisoner, who appeared to be labouring under
weakness of body, and to be much affected at the position
in vzhich he was placed, was accommodated with a chair
in the dock during the examination.
Mr. Thomas Wright, of No. la, Giltapur-street,
cheesemonger, said the prisoner has lived with me for
some years as my confidential clerk and cashier, and it
was his duty to receive money and pay it to my bankers,
Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., of Lothbury. On the 25th
of July he debited Jones Loyd and Co. with 162/. Bs. 6d.,
paying is only 142/. Bs. 6d. There was in the cash-box
162 L Bs. 6d. to be paid on that day, and ho took that
amount. On the counter part of the banker's book he
has entered as paid the sum of 1421. Bs. 6d. The
book contained the entry of 1621. Bs. 6d. in
the prisoner's handwriting, and is entered as he took it
from the cash-box, showing how that money was made
up. On the 7th of July last he debited the bankers
446/. 65., only paying to them in like manner, as before,
4261. 65., which he entered in the counterpart of the
banker's book. The next entry was that of the 29th of
June, when the debit to the bankers was for 497/. 14s. ld.,
and the counterpart was only 4771. 14s. Id. He never
accounted to me for these moneys, nor had he any au-
thority to withhold money. No other person was autho-
' rived to pay in the money, except when the prisoner
was absent. On referring to my, ledger of the 11th of
June, I find in the prisoner's handwriting the entry of
1941. Bs. 4d., whereas the sum paid into the bank was
only 1741. Bs. 4d. The prisoner had never accounted to
me for this difference in his accounts, and on making
this discovery I gave him into custody.
Alfred Harvest Coulson said-I am ono of the cashiers
of Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co. of Lothbury, bankers,
and produce a number of tickets of the payments of
deposits from Mr. Wright, of Giltspur-street. I pro-
duce amongst them one dated July 25, for 1421. Bs. 6d.;
Inother for 426/. 65., on the 7th of July; a third dated
June 29, for 477/. 14s. 11; and a fourth ticket, of the
11th of June, for 174/. Bs. 4d. ; all of which amounts
were carried to Mr. Wright's credit.
Mr. Wright identified all the tickets as being in the
prisoner's handwriting.
George Wardle, 221, said that when he took Lee into
custody, on the way to the station house he said to him,
" This is a bail job I have got into, and I must get out
of it as well as I can."
The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence,
and the depositions being made out, he was conveyed to
Newgate in a cab.
BOW-STREET.
Wiliam Gregory, of 5, Upper Montagu-street, Rus-
sell-squire, solicitor, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Henry, on a charge of violating the person of Mary
Johanna Neary, a housemaid in the service of his mother.
Mr. Humphrys attended for the prisoner.
The prosgentrix, who is about thirty years of age, and
gave her evidence with much flippancy, stated that she
was a single woman, and the prisoner was her master's
son. On Sunday morning last, when the family went ,o
church, he met her at his mother's bed-room door, with
the slop-pail in her hand, when he inquired if they were
gone to church, and she said they were. He was dressed
in his morning-gown, and he laid hold of her round the
waist, desiring her to put down the pail, which she did,
and he pulled her towards his room, while she dragged
hack till they got to the bide of his mother's bed. She
said, " For God's sake, Mr. William, don't effect my
ruin;" and although she struck at him, and screamed
" Murder!" till she was exh,usted, he by force accom-
plished his object ; after which ho went towards his own
room.

The witness underwent a lengthened cross-oxe,naira-
tion, in v. hicii she admitted that for the last six weeks
he was in the habit of kissing her and taking °tiltr
liberties with her, which she never mentioned to her
mistress, fearing it might cause some ill-feeling in the
family, and also her discharge from the service. The
parlour-maid and a servant boy were in the house at
the time in question; they, however, rendered her no
assistance, and the reason why she laid down the pail
was to have her hands at liberty in order to protect
herselr'. questions to the prosecu-
Mr. HENRY also put several
trix, and from the nature of the answers she gave, with-
out examining the parlour-maid or a medical gentleman
who was in attendance to give evidence, he ultimately
came to the conclusion that be would not be justified in
sending such a case before a jury, wad ordered the pri-
soner to be discharged.

of a portion of the motley above alluded to, and he left
behind him some duplicates for her apparel which he had
pawned. Information of the robbery was communicated

to the pol ate, and the prisoner was taken into custody
by Sergeant Dalton and police-constable Culling, of the

square.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
SOUTHWARK.
William Toose, the landlord of several houses in a
court leading out of that great thoroughfare the Borough
High-street, and in which numerous cases of cholera
and death have recently occurred, was summoned for
allowing nuisances of a pestilential nature to remain
there, although served with repeated notices for their
removal.
Mr. Endean, inspector of nuisances for St. George's
parish observed that the exterior of the habitations were
in a most filthy condition, the cesspools running over
into the yards, and the stench proceeding from them of
the most intolerable description, and quite sufficient to ac,
count for the number of deaths that had lately taken place
from cholera. The officer then 4itated that the defendant
had the filth collected from the houses Nos. 1 and 2 in the
court to the cesspool of another of his houses in the same
court (No. 17), and that within seven days, nine of the
inmates, men, women, and children, were carrried off by
cholera. He added that the defendant, as landlord, had
been served with notices to cleanse the houses, but he
failed in doing so.
When the defendant waaasked why he did not comply
with the notices that had been served upon him for the
removal of such a dangerous nuisance, particularly
during the prevalence of disease, his reply was, that a
man whom he had employed for the purpose had dis-
appointed him.

HULL, AUGUST 7.—Messrs. Taylor and Bright's cir-
cular states that though little rain has fallen during the
past week, yet the temperature has been altogether too
low for maturing the growing crops. We are yet fully
three weeks from anything like general harvest. Al-
though several steamers sailed hence for Hamburg last
week, in the hope that the blockade of the Elbe would
be raised on or shortly after their arrival off Heligoland,
we are yet without news of this being the case, and our
imports are consequently still limited to non-blockaded
ports; as will be seen from the tabular statement below,
they continue on a liberal scale, but with the single ex-
ception of wheat, which no one seems disposed to buy at
all beyond immediate wants, the supply of no article is
in excess of a wholesome consumptive demand; and even
the large arrival of barley is well worked off, at a decline
iof is per qr. We had a moderate supply of English
wheat this day, and which, under some alarm at the
great decline in Mark•lane, was expected to be anxiously
pushed for sale, but our farmers were not at all disposed
to follow the panic of their southern brethren, and we
cannot write the market more than Is to 2s per qr lower,
while foreign wheat is almost unsaleable at fully 2s less
money, although we have no great stock in the port, and
comparatively little of fine quality. For barley, at the
decline of is noted above, we had avery good sale. In other
kinds of spriug corn the transactions are very limited.
There are some good Russian oats now on the market,
forming the bulk of the above arrival. Indian corn, at
the decline, attracts attention for feeding. There are
only two parcels on the market. The week's import of
linseed is very large, and the market must be reported
heavy at a decline of is per qr. For cakes there is
somewhat less demand, and they are purchaseable at a
trifle under late quotations. We are still without arri-
vals of rapeseed, for which there is some inquiry. Rape
cakes are also in moderate supply, and go off well at our
above quotations. As may also be remarked of bones,
for which we have several speculative buyers.

LEEDS, Ana. 7.—We have a smaller supply of wheat
at market to-day than for some time past, but the wea-
ther continuing tine, and the dull accounts received from
Mark-lane yesterday, have caused the market to be very
dull, and fine wheat is fully 2s. per quarter lower than
last week. Other descriptions of grain are all rather
lover.
LIVERPoOL, AUG. 7.—At this day's market there was
a fair attendance of the trade, but owing to the smart
decline at Mark lane yesterday buyers acted with ex-
treme caution, and purchased sparingly of wheat and
fl mr, at a decline of 3d per 701 b, and 6,1 per barrel. O. is
and oatmeal were neglected, and nominally unchanged
in value. Barley met with little attention, and we lower
our quotations 2d per 601 b. Beans and peas without al-
teration. Indian corn was offered at 24s 6d to 253 per
quarter for prime yellow, and 263 6d to 27s per quarter
tor prime white, and a very little business done at these
prices.

IPSWICH, Auo. 7.

Our farmers are very busy in harvest ; the weather is re-
markably fine, and has the appearance of continuing so. This
day's supply was not large ; samples of new wheat and barley
appeared for sale; the former fetched 50s per quarter. The
market for wheat generally was extremely heavy, and prices
from 3s to 4s lower. Barley and peas unaltered in value. Oats
and beans is lower. Flour 3s per sack cheap-r. Malt dull sale.
