THE SEW, LONDON, THEIRSDAN EVENING, DECEMBER 131 1849,

about his immense wealth. He told me that he had
knocked two men down. I never saw him so excited
before, but I had always considered him eccentric.
From the whole tenor of my observations with his
Lordship I was then decidedly of opinion that he was
of unsound mind.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—I v.as with his
Lordship on the 25th, about three-quarters of an
hour. I attended Lady Bury. His Lordship did
not appear to me to be a healthy man. I remember
being called up on one occasion to his Lordship, who
thought he had taken a black draught. It certainly
was a black draught—it was a phial of ink.
I administered an emetic to him, but how be took
the ink I cannot say.
By the Jury—lt never crossed my mind before
the 25th that his Lordship was of unsound mind ; his
conduct on that occasion was so entirely different to
what it had been before. On the occasion of his
taking the ink, which was in May last, he seemed
quite conscious that he had been doing something
wrong.
Mr. William Crawley deposed as follows :—I
am an attendant at the house of Dr. Sutherland
and have been so for the last five years.
On the 21st of July last I remember
going to the Earl of Albemarle's house in Onslow-
square. I remained there all night, in consequence
of his Lordship being in a weak and excited state.
Ha was removed. the following morning, the 26th.
He could not be persuaded to leave the house on the
25th. Since then I have repeatedly attended his Lord-
ship. I attended him for the first three weeks. The
Sunday following bis removal to
.Blackland House
he became very excited, and on the Monday morning
he got out of bed, and taking up a large water-jug, he
said "By God I will kill you.' I sat up in bed, and
caught the jug as he struck at me in my arm. The
jug was broken into pieces. I then got up, and
having dressed his Lordship, he was removed to
another apartment, where he took off his coat, and
wanted to fight me. On occasions when he
was allowed to walk about the garden he
always wanted to eat the leaves ; when I would not
allow him to do so he became very excited. After I
had attended him three weeks I was removed to an-
other patient, but I returned to him on the 18th of
October, and have attended him since then down to
the present time. On the Ist of November his Lord-
ship told me that be was at the battle of Bunker's-
hill and fought with Captain Brown. Captain
Brown, he said, cut his head off and it fell on the
ground, Captain Brown then picked it up, and stuck
it on his shoulders, when he was taken home and
placed in bed. The next morning his head was as
firm upon his shoulders as ever it was, with the ex-
ception of its being rather shaky. On the 2d of
November his Lordship told me that when his father
died his youngest brother would be the Earl of
Albemarle, he himself being Jesus Christ. On
the 4th of November his Lordship said, 4,000 years
ago, he was called the Fire King, he then performed
at ihe Lyceum Theatre, and the Queen used to go and
see him go through his performances, and when he
used to jump into the flames the audience shrieked
out. He used then, he said, to hide himself in the
coal, and refuse to return people their money. On
the following day after Dr. Sutherland had an-
nounced his father's death, his Lordship told
me that he could bring him to life again,
and introduce him to the world as Pope Pius.
He said be had been round the world with Captain
Cooke, and returned with savage., who robbed and
pillaged the world. On another occasion he said he
was in an engagement and had his head cut off, which
rolled down a hill, and he ran after it, calling to people
to stop it. On the 26th November he said he had come
down from heaven after the flood to redeem mankind.
After remaining upon earth, he ascended again to
heaven. On the 2d Dec. his Lordship said, when his
father died he met him going to the grave with his
butler. On the 6th of Dec. his Lordship called
me Alphonso. He said, Alphonso, I know what
lam now. lam Jesus Christ. I was crucified after
the flood. I have been dead three times, and brought
myself to life again. Yesterday, the 11th, his Lord-
ship told the doctor in my presence that his income
was 490,0001. a year. I have seen him this morning,
and, although he is very quiet, he is certainly insane,
and has been so since the 25th July.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—On the first
Sunday he was under my care I found it necessary
to put a straight waistcoat upon him, but it did not
remain more than half an hour. His Lordship has
not committed any outrage since the occasion
I have mentioned. About a fortnight ago,
however, he commenced slamming the door
violently, and on my requesting him to desist he
came up to me with his clenched fist and raid he
would knock me down if I interfered with him. On
another occasion he kicked me, but since the 18th of
October, except the incident I have just mentioned,
he has shown no symptoms of violence. He is now
tranquil, compared with what he was some time ago,
but there is no change in his state of mind.
Latterly a person named Charles Barrett has relieved
me in sleeping in his. Lordship's room. I have fre-
quently asked his Lordship if he would like any
books, and he always said no; the newspaper is
enough for me. He has had one book since he has
ben with us. It treats of consolation to sinners.

Horse racing and money in the funds are
tha topics he speaks of. He always seems
anxious to know the state of the funds. He has told me
that he was an officer in the army during the Penin-
sular war. and in the war he often saw soldiers have
their heads cut off, and take up others in mistake.
From his manner I think his Lordship believes what
he states ; he laughs sometimes. One day he
threw some stones in the fire and said they
would come out watches. His Lordship has
access to other patients in the garden, but I am not
aware that any of them are excited upon subjects
connected with the currency or the funds.
Dr. Southey, having returned from the asylum,
was recalled and examined—He said, I have
seen his Lordship, and he seems more quiet. I
spoke to him on the points of his delusion,
asking him if he made watches. He said
that was all humbug, but he made jewels. He said
he was 25 years, and on the subject of his property,
he said he had 30000/. in the funds, and had re-
peatedly made by buying and selling. He said he had
been repeatedly engaged in battle, and had killed
many men, one of whose heads he cut off, and he remem-
bered when he was a boy fighting and killing two
boys. From what I have seen of him to-day I am
decidedly of opinion that he is of unsound mind, and
incapable of taking care of either himself or his pro-
perty. It is possible, but very improbable, that he
may recover.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—I believe that it
is necessary that his Lordship should be kept per-
fectly tranquil to admit of any chance of his
recovery. it would seem that he has overcome his
delusion about the watches, but when I spoke to him of
jewels he said he could make emerald drops. I asked
him about his property, and he appeared particularly
anxious to know the price of funds. He said he
frequently fought in single combat, and always killed
his man.

By the Jury—l am quite satisfied at present he is
not capable of taking care of himself, nor do I think
it would be advisable to bring him here to-day. I
am not without hope of his ultimate recovery, but it
is highly improbable.
Mr. George Steer, of 24, Great Queen Anne-street,
the brother of Lady Albemarle, was about to be ex-
amined, when

Mr. CALYEBT intimated that he was in a position to
dispute his Lordship's insanity since the 25th of July,
and he therefore hoped no circumstances would be

alluded to anterior to that date.

Mr. STINTON said, the evidence he was about to
put in would trace the insanity to the 23.1 of July.
The examination of Mr. Steer was then proceeded
with. I have known his Lordship for thirty years.
During that time he has been married to and lived
with my sister.. On the 24th July I remember his
dining with me in Queen Anne•street, and on my
coming home I found him in my drawing-room
reading a religious book to my mother. There
was something peculiar in his manner which I had
not observed before. I repeatedly-called him to come
down to dinner, but it was some time before he
would do so. At dinner he talked very. strangely
upon religious subjects, and repeated the Lord's
Prayer aloud three times. It was so peculiar that I
asked him what induced him to do so, and he imme-
diately got up and said, " I will tell." He
stood for some time in an erect attitude,
and then rushed out of the room. I went home with
hiw, and on the way a boy ran by, making a noise.
He rushed at the boy, and said, if I had not been with
him he would have murdered the lad. I gave the lad into
the charge of a policeman, to protect him from his
Lordship's violence, and then I got his Lordship into
a cab, and drove him home. After he had been up-
stairs for some time his Lordship came down in his
waistcoat, and began talking in a wild manner about
his friends and his property. On the following day
1 went up stairs to him in his bedroom, and found a
fire in the grate, and the room full of smoke. I asked
him what he had got a fire for. He said, Oh, I
don't know !" and on turning round 1 found him
wi. bout his shirt. I asked him what he had done

with it, and he said it was burning in the fire. I
asked him why he had put it there, and he said,
"Because it did not fit me."
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—I was of
Opinion that on the 24th he was in a dangerous state,
and I suggested that some, one should sleep in his
;houte to protect it. Up to that time I hail uni-
formly treated Lord Albeniarle as a person of sound
mind.
'o'3l3y the Ifiry—We had not finished dinner when
his L'Qrilship hacl finished. Ido not know that he
has been 4t. the hab,it of buS7ing in and selling out
funds.
By the COMNISPIONW-He has never had an
income equal to thiteh9ibsefl has been mentioned.: He
had 5,0001. a year as Lord Bury, but I do not know
the amount of his present income.

Re.eram.4nsaw his Lorthhip a f.ew days ago,
when he told, me that his inco:ne w 440,0001. a year
and that the late E,rl had left the Dowag-'r Countess
100 race-ho des. lam satisfied that his Lord-hip is
insane.

Miss An a Beale, lady's-maid to the Countess of
Albemarle, stated that she had many years been in
the service of the Countess, and knew his Lordship
well. On the 23d of July his Lordship cut up a
great num'ea• of pieces of piper, and pasted them
on the furniture in the drawing-room
and his study. He said he was going to buy some
more furniture, and these he marked must be taken
away. He was much excited, and the same morning
he burnt a coat and some boxes of his own, in his
bedroom. He went out, and on his return he said
he had seen Mr. Fleet who could build a house like
that he had mentioned in a fortnight. From what I
saw I believed he was in his right mind on that day.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—On the evening
of the 231 Mr. Edward Keppel slept in the house in
Onslow- square.
Mr. John Lear, the servant and valet of the Earl,
was next examined.—On Sunday, the 22d of July,
he told me to get a cab, and when I did so, he went
out, with th 3 view of going to Merrington House,
and shortly after returned. I was at Alerriegton
House, but I did not see his Lordship there. On
the same night he spoke to me differently to what he
had previously done before. On Monday, the 23d
of July, I remember the wife of a coachman
coming with a bunch of keys, which I gave to
his Lordship, and at his directions I got
a cab and we drove to Merrington Home. The
first thing he did was to search for one particular dog
—there were four in the house. He found the dog
under a bed, and his Lordship ordered me to kill it,
which I did in his Lordship's presence, and then by
his Lordship's direction I buried it in, a particular
spot while his Lordship went for a rose-tree which
he afterwards planted over the dog's grave, and said he
should call it " his dog rose." He then directed me
to pull down the looking-glasses, which he assisted me
to do. He said he should get rid of all the furniture,
as he intended to have it replaced with new. I then
returned to Onslow-square, and when his Lordship
came back he wanted to know what had been done
with the other dogs. I said, they are all taken to
the stable excepting one, and then, by his
direction, I destroyed two other dogs. I did not do
it at first, his Lordship seemed so very strange ; but
he requested me to do so a second time, and I did as he
wished. I killed two dogs, and set a larger one at liberty.
I returned then to his Lordship, and found him in
bed. He asked me what I had done with the dogs,
and I told him. He seemed very much pleased, and
laughed in a strange incoherent manner. Some time
previous the first dog had bit him, his Lordship
said, and his reason for killing the others was that he
knew it would displease another party.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—His Lordship
was in the habit of having a fire in his room in July, but
I ant not aware that clothes were burnt on the
Monday.
By the Jury—Merrington House was not his
Lordship's own house. On Monday the 23d I told
some of the servants .1 thought his Lordship was
insane. I was afraid not to disobey his Lordship's
order about killing the dogs.
Mr. Woodhouse, the solicitor, stated that he was
acquainted with the circumatancFs of the Earl of
Albemarle. During his father's life he had 9001. a
year. The estates he had succeeded to were valued
at 9,000/. a year, but they were considerably en-
cumbered.

This being the whole of the evidence, the jury now
retired for an hour, to enable a portion of them to
rep kir to Blackland House to have an interview
with the subject of the enquiry.
The jury having returned,
The Learned COMMISSIONER summed up the whole
of the evidence, and after a short consultation the
jury came to the following verdict :
",Tbat Augustus Frederick,. Earl of Albemarle,
Viscount Bury, and Baron Ashford, is of unsound
mind, and is incapable of managing himself and his
affairs, and has been so from the 231 of July, 1849,
and ever since."

(FROM OUR COARESTONDENT )
DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING, DSC. 11.—The
only thing just now occupying concern amongst the
quidnuncs here is the case of Captain M‘Manus, an
ancient Lothario, of seventy-two, who, after swind-
ling (as alleged, for the trial is not yet over) a young
industrious woman out of her virtue and money,
afterwards endeavoured (as alleged) to drive
her from the country by a series of de-
famatory persecutions in the shape of letters.
The case occupied the entire of Friday, and
was then adjourned until to-day, one of the juryman
(Alderman Tagart) being obliged to hold a court for
election of town councillor yesterday in the Castle
Ward, at which Mr. Martin Burke was returned
without opposition, vice Mr. John Reynolds, M.P.
The country papers received to day are but two or
three. A Cork paper of this morning, and two
Belfast ones, are the only " provincials" that came
this evening, and they do not bring a particle of news.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian)
We stated in our last that although extremely
little business had been done during the week, and
the tendency of prices had continued unfavourable,
yet on Thursday and Friday offers were made for
yarns and goods, in some instances for considerable
quantities of the latter, which showed that the buyers
were beginning to think the time at hand for the
advantageous execution of their orders. Indi-
cations of the same kind have been more general
to day, imparting an improved tone to the market.
The appearance of a little more life in Liverpool has,
no doubt, had some effect on our exchange; as have
also, and in a greater degree, the advices by the recent
Overland Mail, which, on the whole, are of fair
promise. Though the transactions in yarns have
been of very limited amount, they have certainly
exceeded those of last Tuesday. Some purchases
have been made for India, and even for China,
both, in mule and water twist ; in the former up to
No. 50.'s inclusive. For Italy there has been rather
moreinquiry ; and the Greeks have shown them-
s'-Ives a little in this department ; while the home
manufacturers have been accepting some of the
lowest offers they have met with. The Germans have
been the least inclined to operate ; as, at this season
they can ship but little. On the whole, there is an
evident increase of firmness in all kinds and numbers,
except, perhaps, those above No. 6). 'We are glad
to note that the spinners of 20's water, the most de-
pressed of all counts, will not not sell at their own
quotations of a week ego. The improvement in
goods exceeds that in yarns. The finer printing cloths
are firmer at previous rates; while the quotations
for the lower qualities are I id. higher. At lid.
under the current prices the shippers would operate
freely in 40-inch skirtings, up to 60 reed, which marks
a fair improvement since this day week. If the terms
offered some days back were submitted to, the sales' of
low jacconets would be considerable. In the light
fabrics here enumerated some operations of fair extent
have been effected. In domestics, the slight advantage
previously gained is fully supported ; and for T
cloths there is rather more inquiry.--
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had less business
transacted to- day than on the preceding Monday, with
little change in prices. The wool dealers are asking
better prices for the raw material, and in some in.
stances have obtained them.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have only to
reiterate our report of the satisfactory condition of
trade in this town, which is working well for the oper-
atives, who are fully employedand earning good wages.
The manufacturers have made fresh progress in the
sale .of their goods, and there appears every
.probability of a good spring trade at fair remunerat-
ing prices.' We understand that there are houses
working on orders which extend to some months
hence. The dyers are plentifully supplied with work
and busy. A steady business is doing in the raw
silk 'market at late rates. The stocks of thrown
silk are lighter than they have been for some time
past.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--The principal busi-
ness that has been done was with a few buyers of
job lots. The wool market continues firm, and the
business of the district may be considered healthy for
the season.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The demand for worsted
goods, both plain and figured, continues steady, with-
out any material change in prices. The spinners are
still full of orders, and most descriptions of yarn sell
freely at improved rates. The sales of long wool are
considerable, and prices are very firm, with an upward
tendency. There is also more inquiry for short wools
at rather advanced quotations.
LEEDS, TUESDAT,—Fair market both on Saturday
and to day. More aone to-day at the Whits Hall
than for some weeks past. Manufacturers pretty
well employed and stocks low. Prices very firm, and
in consequence ofthe advance in price, wool will
probably go higher.

PRIVILEGES of THE BAIL-Mr. Sergeant Dowl-
ing, the Judge of the York County Court, has submitted
a somewhat important question "to the Attorney-
General, respecting the claims of barristers, in insol-
vency cases, to " exclusive audience,"-as it is termed—
that is, to oppose and support insolvents, tu the exclusion
of attorneys. Tae decision of the Attorney-General will
settle the point, which has occasioned a good deal of dis-
cusAon in the several county courts.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

JUDICIAL COMMITThE OF THE PRIVY
GUUNCIL, Dec. 12.
GORIIA3I V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.

(C ntinued from our Afternoon E lition of yesterlay.
Mr. TußNt:a cuatinuA to say he efil not mean to
contend f one moment that their Lordships had not
the fullest right to examine into the doctrine, but the
distinction which he drew trim that subject was, that
they were to examine Mr. Gorham on the doctrine
which was contained in the Articles. It the Articles
of the Church of England did, as he had ven-
tured to submit, constitute the code of faith
of the Church of England, he then submitted that
it was not competent for the Bishop in his examination
to constitute another standard of faith. The Learned
Counsel then took a rapid review of the sentence pro-
nounced by the Judge in the Eectesiastical Court, with
the view of showing that he had proceeded exclusively
and erroneously on the expressions used in the rubric at
the foot of the baptismal service, and the declarations
of the Church of England, as the Learned Judge had
called them, in the sacrament and in the baptismal
services. Having dune this, the Learned Coun-
sel concluded by saying he trusted their Lord-
ships would arrive at the conclusion that this
judgment wes erroneous, and would decide in favour ut
the appellant. Tee Learned Coutkel then resumed his
seat at a quarter to tw o'clock, having spoken yester-
day and to-day eight hours and a half.
Dr. LUSHINGIoN asked Mr. Turner if he (Dr. Lush-
ington) had understood him to say that spiritual re-
generation was a change of nature and not of condition;
and was the gift of the Almighty; thkt it might be given
before or after baptism, as the Almighty should think
fit; that if infants received it rightly, in that case they
may have rt ceised the grace tit God before or in bape
,ism; that baptism wa-i the sign ot regeneravon; that in
such a case infates were' ngr:fted into the Church, ac-
cording to the 27th Article; that if infants did not re-
ceive baptism rightly, the baptism had no immediate
spiritual elf ct; and that he (Mr. Turner) maintained
these doctrines to be pmited by the Articles, and required
immediate acceptance?

Mr. TURNER replied that Dr. Lushington was sub-
stantially right.
Dr. BAYFOILD followed Mr. Turner on the side of the
appellant. In his apprehension, of the case all the 1, gi-
timate arguments had been brought forward at length,
and most ably by his Learned Friend Mr. Turner,
that; could possibly he brought under their Lordships,
attention ; and he (Dr. Bay:ord) should not therefore
detain their L.Rdships at any length. This was the
first time in our history since the days of the Reforma-
tion, and since the Articles of the Church' of England
were established fur promoting sound religion in these
realms, in which a clergyman had had an adverse sentence
passed against him for holding unsound doctrine, when
he had professedly grounded all the doctrines which he
had,set out on the Articles of the Church, when he had
been defended explicitly on that ground by his counsel,
and when the adverse sentence went upon the assump-
tion that he had not entertained any unsound doctrine,
judged by the Articles of the Church of England. The
Church of England had been inclusive and not exclusive,
and her desire had been to spread her arms as v.idely
as possible, and to embrace as many of the inhabitants
of this country as she possibly could. . The Learned
Civilian then quoted a great number of ancient ecclesi-
astical writers, with the, view of fortifying the arguments
employed by Mr. Turner to show that the benefits of
baptism were conditional on the exercise of faith and
repentance on the part of the recipient of baptism.

Dr. ADDAMS then rose-to address the Court on the
part of the Bishop of Exeter, the respondent. He said
he had not anticipated that the arguments of counsel on
the other side would have concluded to-day. He was,
therefore, but ill prepared to proceed, having in fact
none of his books by him at that moment. Under these
circumstances, would their Lordships expect that he
should proceed with his argument this afternoon?
The COUNCIL signified their wish that Dr. Addams
should proceed.
Dr.-ADDAMS would do so, and advert to such parts
of the case as he could without the aid of his books.
his Learned Friend Mr. Turner had protested it was
unnecessary for him to enter into the circumstances out
of which this question arose. True it was he did not go
into the particulars which led to the institution of the
present proceedings by Mr. Gorham against the Bishop
of Exeter. But he (Dr. Addams) must say that Mr.
Turner had contrived to allude to those cit.-
curnstaeces in a way rather calculated to
give a colour of grievance to the character
of the proceeding on the part of the Bishop of Exeter.
Then, with regard to the obstacles and delay of which
Mr. Turner had complained on the part of the Bishop, in
the mode of conducting the examination of Mr. Gorham,
on his being presented to the living of Barnpiord
Spoke, that had arisen not so much from any
conduct of the Bishop's as from the evasive
and circuitous way in which Mr. Gorham had
chosen to answer the simple questions which the
Bishop had put to him. Now, with respect to- the
question at issue, whether the ben( lit received at baptism
consisted of the remission of original sin, or whether it
went to a further infusion of grace ; and, if sJ, to what
extent, or under what limits,—that was not the ques-
tion. These were open questions on which the members
of the Courtin of Eagland might entertain ve•ri
different, or even opposite opinions. Mr. Gorham's
unsound doctrine•, of which the Bishop of Exeter com-
plained was this—that he separated the benefit and the
grace from the sacrament altogether ; and he did not
admit there was any connexion between them. In fact,
lie utisscrementia•d the sacrament. It was not the
question whether the doctrine mrint•tiued by she. Bishop
was or was not a true doctrine ; but the question was,
whether it was or was not the true doctrine given in
the Prayer-book ? It' it was not th, true doctrine
that was a very good reason for alterinA the Prayer book,
but it was no reson for reversing this sentence. The
doctrine itself, as tested by the Scriptures, was not in
question. The question wit; whether it was the doctrine
of the Church of England? and their Lordships bad to
consider that and no other question whatever.
The Learned Civilian was proceeding with his argu-
ment When the Court adjourned at a quarter to four
o'slock until ten o'clock on Friday morning.

make, truating rather to the advice that the jury
would give him such nominal &images as would not
carry costs, a Lope in which he (Mr. Cockburn)
trusted they would disappoint him. The Learned
Gentlemen then proceeded to call witnesses.
Philip Pride, a City policeman,. examined by Mr.
DACENT, deposed that he knew the defendanr, who
resides at 33, Great Tower street. Remembered
that on the 18th April, about ten minutes before six
in the evening, the defendant addresied him, and told
him to follow him; that he was about to give a person
in charge. Witness followed, and Mr. Dean said,
" Take that young man into custody." Mr. Dean's
daughter was leaning on Mr. Coppleaton at the time,
and witness, mating on the desire of Mr. Deli], took
the young man by the arm, saying he was desired by
Mr. Dean to take him into custody. There were
numbers of persons passing at the time. The plaintiff
said, " Don't handle me; I'll walk with you."
They proceeded to the station house, the young lady
leaning on the plaintiff' s arm, the complainant follow-
ing behind them, and several persons passing. On
arriving at the station•house, the plaintiff was placed
in the dock, where the young lady also went, still
leaning on his arm. The defendant on entering was
asked by the inspector what he charged plaintiff with,
and his answer was, " For encouraging my daughtar
away from my residence, and keeping her out at late
hours." He added, "Heis a scamp, and a worthless
scoundrel." The inspector asked Mr. Dean what the
young lady's age was, and he answered, " Three-
and twenty ;" on which the inspector remarked,
"She is capable of taking care of herself'," and !hen
discharged the
Cross-examined byMr..llurarany—Miss Dean had
hold of Mr. Coppleston's ann all the time, and ac-
cotnpanied him in -that posilon to the station-house.
The plaintiff was not detained more than five minutes
in the station-house, when he was discharged.
Mr. Norton, of the firer of plaintiff's attorneys,
proved the professional correspondence on the subject,
and slid that the plaintiff was most desirous not to
proceed to extremeties with Mr. Dean, and that it
was stated if he (Mr. Dean). would merely express
his regret for what had taken place it would be per-
fectly satisfactory to the plaintiff. That proposition
was not acceded to.

Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFREY—Mr. Boyd, de-
fendant's attorney, at first said that he had not had
a definite answer from his client ; and at a subsequent
time he said that the defendant had done no more than
he ought to have done for the protection of his
daughter, and felt himself warranted in giving him
into custody. Mr. Boyd added that Mr. Dean had
repeatedly warned him against keeping company with
his daughter, to which he had a strong objection.
Re-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—Witness had, on
that occasion, expressly stated to Mr. Boyd that the
plaintiff would be satisfied with a proper explanation;
but Mr. Boyd did not accede to that mode of arrang-
ing the matter. Plaintiff was town traveller to Grey
and Robinson, wine merchants, and was now about
eight .and-twenty years of age.
This closed the plaintiff's case.
Mr. lIUMFREY, Q.C., then addressed the jury for
the defence. The defendant was a respectable man,
carrying on the business of a cheesemonger in the
city of London, and was master of the Haberdashers'
Company, a situation which, the jury was well aware,
he 2ould not get, unless he were a proper and respect-
able tradesman. He (Mr. Humfrey) had not the
experience of that omnipotent power of " Love," with
which his Learned Friend (Mr. Cockburn) was so
well acquainted, but which he (Mr. Humfrey) had
now forgotten.—(Laughter.) lie hoped the jury, as
fathers, would enter into the feelings of the defendant,
who, having previously repeatedly forbidden the
plaintiff from visiting his house, and from keeping
company with his daughter, felt naturally, and as a
father, excited at seeing, on the occasion in question,
that he (plaintiff) had induced her to leave her home,
and thus influenced, had given him into custody.
Undoubtedly in thus acting he had violated the law,
and must pay some penalty for his error; but he (Mr.
iiutnfrey) hoped it would be no more than that
" nominal" penalty which his Learned Friend alluded
to, and had, he hoped, a just apprehension that the
jury would only give. In looking calmly at this
case, and in considering the feelinga of a father in
relation to the child whom he loved, he (Mr. Hum-
frey) was reminded of a beautiful passage, expressed
by one of their most charming poets—
" Some feelings are to mortals given,
With more of ..arch in them than heaven;
And if there should a human tear
From passion rise, refined and clear,
A tear so gentle and so me, k,
That 'twould not stain an angel's cheek,
It is the tear that tethers shed
Upon an obedient, lov'd child's bead."

Mr. Justice COLERIDOR, in summing up, said he
feared Mr. liumfrey's lines were not at all applicable
in this case ; because it was quire clear the child
here was not exactly a dutiful dat4,-hter.—(Laugh'er,
in which Mt. Hurnfrey joined) That Mr. Dean
had acted wrong in giving the plaintiff, into custody
there could be no doubt ; and it would be for the
jury to say what darniges the plaintiff was entitled
to. Undoubtedly, they would not be heavy da-
mages; but then they ought to be such as, without
bAng excessive, would mark the case, and satisfy the
law.

The jury conferred together, and returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff 35/.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 12.
(Sittings at Nisi Prias, in London, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON and Special Julies.)
VALLEE V. DUMERQUE.

This was an action to recover a sum of 272,767
francs principal, together with 49,247 francs interest,
amounting together to 322 014 francs, or 14,000/. at
the exchange of 23 francs to the pound sterling, and
wai brought upon a judgment delivered in December
1847, by the President of the Cour de Commerce of
the Seine, at Paris. _ _ _

The Attorney. General and Mr. Phipson were coun-
sel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Martin, Mr. thvill, and
Mr. Needham, for the defendant.

The defendant, it appeared, was an English gentle-
man of property, who had purchased the equity of
redemption of a share in a company, called the Army
Bed Company, which had entered into a contract
with the French Government to supply beds to the
French army for a term not less than twenty years.
On the termination of the partnership in 1842, the
defendant, as standing in the place of an original
shareholder, was called upon for his share, and was
sued by attachment according to the French law. A
summons was served upon him at the domicile he had
elected, in pursuance of the requirements of the
French law, at the banking-house of Callaghan and
Co., at Paris, and the suit proceeded until the final
judgment was pronounced in it, upon which the pre-
sent action was founded.

The defence was that this judgment had been re-
covered in France whilst- the defendant was absent,
larthout any notice to him, and not according to the
French law; that even supposing the defendant to
have elected a domicile at Callaghan and Co.'s horve,
it was for a different purpose, and that the proceeding
was, in fact, extinguished by the death of one of the
parties in 1832, the domicile having been elected in
1829. The law of France recognised three ways of
serving a summons for such a prucess. One was at
the bar of the King's (now the President's) Attorney-
General ; another was at the elected domicile of the
defendant ; and the third was, at the house of some of
his neighbours, who were to attest the service in a
particular mariner. None of these formalities had
been observed, it was contended, in a manner to bind
the defendant by the French law.
The defendant's counsel proposed to give the evi-
dence of several eminent French advo3ates upon these
and other collweral points of foreign jurisprudence,
but this was opposed on behalt of the plaintiff; and
the whole day was pass-d in arguing the question of
admissibility, reading the material articles of the
French code, and in futile attempts to terminate the
action in its present stage, having its final decision
to the full Court.

Ultimately it was settled that a special verdict
should be taken by consent, subject to terms to be
assigned by the full Court of Exchequer, and either
party to be at liberty to tender a bill of exceptions to
the ruling of the Court, ►o that its decision, if
necessary, might be reviewed by the Exchequer
Chamber.

As the funeral of the Queen Dowager has been
appointed to take place to morrow (this day), the
Court at its rising adjourned until Friday.

SECONDARIES' COU;.7' Dec. 12.
(Before Mr Secondary POTTIIIR.)
PEWTRES3 V. DIXON.

This was an action to recover the sum of
271. 15s. 2d., the balance of an account due for
newspapers supplied by the plaintiff.
The defrndant having suffered judgment to go by
default, the jury were only to assess the damage.
The plaintiff' carries on business under the old-
established name of Marlborough and Co., in Ave-
Maria-lane, as general agents, and the defendant is
a stationer and bookseller at Falmouth. The news-
papers were supplied on the written order of the
defendant, but there was some difficulty in proving
these orders, in consequence of the documents having
been destroyed. The Learned Judge, therefore,
allowed secondary evidence to be given. The wit-
ness proved that the orders had been destroyed, but
he swore positively that he remembered the contents.
A. letter was also produced from the defendant, in
which he acknowledged the account, and enclosed a
bank order for 10/.

Tbis being satisfactory proof, the jury found for
the plaintiff. Damages, 271. 15s. 2d.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 12.
The cases disposed of before Mr. Commissioner
FONBIANQUE were not of sufficient interest to merit
no: ice.

Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN there was a
mecting

IN THE MATTER OF DONALD MACLEAN.

Donald Maclean was formerly Member for Ox.

ford, residing at Wilton Castle, in the county of
Durham. He failed for 140,0001., or thereabouts,
and the available assets are adequate to only a la ry
small dividend. The case has been rep,atedly before
the Court. Mr. Lawrence upon several occasions
urged the Court to postpone the last examination
meeting, on account of the alleged illness of his
client. The Cainutii,sioaer (Evans), in consequence
of these representations, allowed the case to stand
over for a considerable time, but at length the Court
decided that, unless Mr. Maclean returned to this
country and surrendered to his fiat on or before a
certain day, he must be treated as a contumacious
bankrupt. Mr. Maclean did not surrender, and he
was consequently outlawed. It was stated that he is
now in Italy witO his wife and niece, living upon
their fortunes_ in splendid style. Lie was an extensive
mine owner, and speculated largely aLd unfortunately
in that description of property.
Tnis meeting was held respecting the claim of
Messrs, Balekow and Vaughan, of Middlesborough
on-Tees, iron-masters, for the sum of 11 5001., on
account of a contract for 4,000 tons of railway bar-
iron. Bills were given by the bankrupts, instead of
cash, for 11,5001. Messrs. Bo'ckow and Vaughan at-
tempted to prove on them. sir. Uonimi,sioner Ev,ns
rejected the claim, bring of opinion that it was one
of unliquidated damages. The matter was then
brought before Vice-Ctiancallor Knight Bruce, who
thought the case was one of liquida(ed damages by
reason of the bills having been given, and he referred
it to air. Commissioner Goulburn to ascertain if any,
and what damages had accrued by the non perform-
ance of the contract.

Mr. Heather appeared for the claimants, and Mr.
Cale for the assignees. •
Evidence was gc,ne into to prove that in 1847 iron
was Gl. per ton cheaper than at the date of the i•on-
tract (Frbruary, 1846), and therefore that 24,0001.
was the amount of the damages, although,
Messrs. Bo!cko* and Vaughan only claimed 11,5001.,
the amount of the bills.

Mr. Cole said the assignees had no knowledge of
the contract, which had never been performed ; that
the goods had not been delivered ; and that Messrs.
Bolckow and Vaughan had no legal or equitable
claim. They had, in fact, incurred no loss_i and he
called up.lri the Court to reject the proof. No notice
had been given to the assignees of the contract.
The COMMISSIONER thought notice ought to have
been given to the assignees, and that Messrs.
Bolekow and Vaughan had not sustained any damage
whatever. Ile would report accordingly to the Vice-
Chancellor.

COURT OF INLAND REVENUE, Dec. 12.
(Before HART DAVIS, Esq., Chairman ; C. J. HER•
RIES, Esq. ; and CHARLES PRESSLEY, &q.)
THE QUEEN V JACKSON.

George Jackson, of Old i.treet, St. Luke's, was
charged on an information, or rather a series of infor-
mations, embracing six different counts, with having
in his possession illicit spirits, with removing and
depositing the same, with retailing illicit spirits, and
with destroying a quantity of spirits for the purpose
of avoiding their legal seizure. The
.penalties were
laid at 1,0001. _ _

This (fay the court was completely crammed with
chemists and druggists and oil and colourmen, either
defendants in the cases to be heard, or anxious to
learn the result of the first proceedings against a large
and respectable class of persons, who have been to a
great extent the receivers of the produce of illicit
distillation. It appeared these prosecutions had been
urged upon the Government by frequent applications
to the Lords of the Treasury from numerous parties
engaged in the manufacture of French and other
poli,h, that they have found themselves so completely
undersold in the markets by others that they were
unable to compete with them, and that their trade was
completely ruined.

Dr. B4teman appeared for the Crown; Mr. Lang-
ham for the defence.

Dr. BATEMAN stated the case at great length, the
facts of which are contained in the following evi-
dence

Mr. Robert East deposed that he was an officer of
Excise, and that on the 2d of August last he went to
the premises of the defendant, who is an oil and
colourman. He saw a man in the shop, and requested
to be furnished with half a pint of French polish and
a gill of "finishing" (i. e., spirits of wine). Having
been served with the polish the man inquired what
" finishing" he would have ; whether he would have
that at the same price as the polish, and brought down
a bottle that smelled strongly of naptha. Witness
not approving of this, the man then remarked that
perhaps he wanted spirit finishing, at Is. the half-pint,
to which witness assented. He paid 9.1. for the polish
and 6d. for the gill of finishing, being at the rate of
16s per gallon. (Specimens of the articles sold were
produced.) Believed the spirits to be of illicit ma-
nufacture, being spirits of wine 53 per cent. over
proof. Raving seized upwards of forty stills since
April last he had considerable experience in illicit
distillation, and he had no doubt that this was
made at a private still. The spirits must be more
than 50 over proof, or they would not dissolve
the guns. The duty would on siiirits of this strength,
be 11s. 110. per gallon. Spirits of this strength
could not be bought wholesale at less than 17s. per
gallon. Licensed victuallers charge at the rate of
20a. per gallon. Went again to the house on the.
25th of Angue, when he saw the defendant himself.
As before he asked for half a pint of polish and a gill
of finishing," with which the defendant immediately
served him. The spirits he now received were 51 per
cent. over proof. Believed that these were illicit
spirits also. On each occasion Mr. Elmy, another
officer remained outside, having previously seen his
empty bottles before going in, and their contents
when he came out. On the 4th of September, Messrs.
Pape and Dance, surveying-examiners general, went
to the house with a search warrant, and acquainted
the defendant that they had come to ascertain what
spirits he had on the premises. He then took them
upstairs, and in a room at the top of the
house, under a heap of papers, they found a
two-gallon bottle of spirits of wine. The cork
was tied over with tape. a piece of sealing-wax
being on the top, rudely placed. He had never seen
spirits sent out in such a way before. The name
of " Grimble, Albany-street, Regent's-park," was
stamped on the bottle. He then cut the string, and
examined the contents, which he believed to be illicit
spirits, but of a very superior kind. On going down
stairs, Mr. Jackson went behind his counter, and
lifting down a bottle from a shelf, dropped it on the
ground, and broke it to pieces. This bottle was
taken from the back of the shelf. Witness examined
the fragments of the broken bottle, and the liquor
that had been spilled, and it was his decided opinion
that this also was illicitly manufactured, ranky and
very strong. He had not asked the defendant to take
down any particular bottle. Mr. Pape remonstrated
with him for breaking the bottle, and he then said it
was an accident. Upon this, the defendant made an
excuse for retiring, and shortly after was observed to
give some directions to a boy, who immediately after
left the house. He went into the street, and endea-
voured to pull from near the door a small hamper, into
an adjoining house. Mr. Dance prevented him from
doing so, and on examining it, it was found to contain
French polish and spirit varnish. They searched the
shop and also the back parlour, where they found a quan-
tity of coloured spirits. While they were examining
the back parlour they found a bill of parcels for spirits.
Atnor;gst the items in the bill was one for two gallons
of " thin" (spirits of wine), at 9s. a gallon. Witness
asked whether any of the articles there came within
the invoice, upon which the defendant pointed some
out. The defendant also produced some permits for
spirits from Messrs. Grinible, the rectifiers, for va-
rious quantities, but these did not agree with the
quality of thespirits seized.
. _

ross-exitninvd by Mr. LANGHAM—Believed the
dropping of the bottle on the floor was not acci-
dental. Why he asked for " flnishin" was, because
he knew that spirits of wine were sold by that name
in the trade. . _ _

Mr. B. Elmv corroborated this evidence.
Mr. Richard Pape, surveying-examiner-general,
said he went to the defendant's in eompany with Mr.
Dance and Mr. East, and showed him the search a ar-
rant, which be read, and they then made the search
as described by the lest wi:viess. On their return to
the shop, he charged the defendant with deliberately
breaking the bottle of spirits. He said he bought
the spirits of a man named Pitchford.
Mr. Dance also asserted that the bottle thrown
down was a wilful breakage.
Mr. Young, analytical chemist to the Board of
Excise, said that he bad analyzed a bottle of French
polish, which contained 9- 10ths of spirits 50 per cent.
over proof. He had made these examinations by
means of caustic potash, brought to the original bulk
by water. The principal ingredient of this polish
was spirit.
Mr. T. Rose Hoare, of Cornwall-road, a varnish
manufacturer, stated that he was a maker of French
polish from shellac and other gums and spirits of wine.
If the spirits were duty paid they were worth 17s.
per Olen. Polishers use spirits of wine, that they
term " finishing." Surreptitious spirits are in the
market to a great extent.
Mr. Clarke, of St. John-street, Smithfield, deposed
that it was impossible to sell spirits at 9'. per gallon.
He had declined the business in cons Arience of his
inability to meet the competition.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. LANGIIAM then addressed the Court for the
defendant, and contended that his client was not aware
that the spirits seized were illicitly made, and even if
they were, his client wa at liberty to receive them,
as he had no right to question the seller as to their
legality. In support of his view he quoted the case of
" The Attorney General v. Bailey," in the Ist volume
of Welsby's Reports, upon •which the Judges had
given their unanimous opinion in favour of the de-
fendant. _ _ _

Dr. BATEMAN reminded his Learned Friend that
an Act was passed in 1848 on purpose to remedy
this defect of the law. •

Mr. LANGHAm, on being shown the Act. expressed
his ignor...tice that such W 33 in existence, so quietly
were exelie Ac's smuggled through Parliament. He
tler, went on to argue that several counts in the in-
dictment were not at all sustained by evidence, tuli
it those that wore he hoped a very mitigated pentaly
would be given.

Several witnesses were called for the defence,
amongst the rest being A littk boy who could scarcely
look ever the top of the witness box, being in the
service. of the defendant, who admitted, on cross-.
examination, having hold spirits, fur which ho was
censured by his master. _

Dr. BATIMAN having rep Led at length upon the
whole case,

The COURT sail that they had given the most
patient attention to the case, and they were unAble to
discover that any of the counts were not proved. It
had ben clearly proved that the illicit spirits had
been brought from litchford'e, and they found no
defect in the (cher parts of the information. There-
fore, helievivg that all the ctAints had Leen fully
proved, the Court should give judgment in the full
p..-oal,y of 1,0001. If the defendant should deem fit
to pr sect a memorial to the Board for mitigation, it
oul,f, of course, receive such attention as the case
deserved.

Johl Harris, chemist. 33, Beech street, Barbican,
aaj chargird up-,n a ,imilar information, with having
in Ens posse,sion and retailing illicit spirits
Dr. B.ifeinun prosecuted; Mr. Child appeared for
the defendant.

The evidence went to show that the defendant sold
to Mr. East, au officer, a q malty of illicit spirits . on
two occasions, slightly impregnated with French
polish and drsg,.•n's blood, Toe spirits were 50 per
cent. over proof. He purchased the spirits below Of
wholesae pri e.

The witness was cross•examined b) Mr. Child at
great length, who afterwards addressed the Court,
contending that his client had produced a large num'
her of permits for the spirits he sold, and that he bad
no idea of evading tin. law.

The Court gave judgmenL in the penalty of 2001.
Several other cktes of a similar description we.
then dispoE•ed of, the parties being fined in ♦arious
amounts of penalties, amounting in the gross to
upwards of 2,0001.

At a very late hour the Court adjourned.
