tion 30 barrels and 257 bags of Trinidad were all sold.

Fine Souchong sells more readily at 2s to 2s 9d;
in the lower sorts not much has been passing. There

SPIRITS.—There is yet much dulness in the market
for Leeward Island Rum, and sellers are willing to ac-
cept former low rates by reason of an abundant supply ;
superior kinds are much wanted, and which realise stiff
prices. Few parcels are to be met with. East India
is little wanted. Orders for Leeward Island are small, and
sellers are ready to accept is 4d to is 4id proof. Fine
Demerara is scarce and yet much in demand. Brandy

Lord of the Admiralty, with reference to the grievances

THE REV. DR. MORGAN.—The venerable and uni-
versally-esteemed Chaplain of her Majesty's Dockyard,
Portsmouth, is so dangerously ill that he is not expected
to survive. Dr. Morgan has just completed the 80th
year of his age,

was fully vindicated. The magistrate, therefore, dis-
missed the complaint. The plaintiff then brought an
action against the defendant for the injury sustained,
which action was tried some time ago, when the jury
found a verdict in his favour for 40s. damages. The
plaintiff having subsequently obtained a rule for a new
trial, that verdict was set aside and the present trial was
the result. The defence on this occasion was one of
justification.
The jury retired for some time to consult together.
and then returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS COURT, Feb 10.
WHARTON W. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COXPANY...—
INJUNCTION.
This was an application by the plaintiff, the inventor
of a medium for drawing by means of straps or bands
formed of wire, passed through leather or through gutta
percha, or through leather and gutta percha in combina-
tion, such wires not being in communication, but sepa-
rated by means of seams of gutta percha, for the protec-
tion of his invention, which had been applied by the
Electric Telegraph Company to cover or enclose their
detached wires of electric communication upon the
North-Western line of railway at and from the Easton
and other stations on the line. The plaintiff had ob-
tained his patent for this invention on the 11th February,
1841, on which he filed his specification, stating all the
important features of peculiarity in the invention, and
that it was applicable to the purposes, without limiting
its application to the purposes enumerated specially in
the specification. The Electric Telegraph Company
obtained their patent for communicating intelligence
by means of detached wires, in combination with gutta
percha, operated on by electricity, in the month of April,
1848; and they had, in the prosecution of their object,
used the bands composed of wire, in combination with
gutta percha, thereby violating the patent right of the
plaintiff by infringement. The company had at its head
several well-known persons, including Mr. Ricardo and
Mr. Barlow, and had, it appeared, conducted some im-
portant lines of communication to completion, and had
even undertaken to communicate by this invention intel-
ligence under the sea intervening between Boulogne and
Folkstone. There had already been an action brought
at common law to recover damages for this infringement.
To that the company had put in an appearance, and in
the meanwhile the company sought the protection of this
Court, by means of an injunction, to restrain the com-
pany from using this mode of communication, and also
prayed that an account should be rendered of all such
straps or bands used by the company, and account with
the plaintiff to the amount of their value. The use of
the words " and for other . purposes," it was insisted,
I brought the defendants within the meaning of the
specification.
Several exhibits of the bands used by the plaintiff and
the defendants were put in and examined by the Learned
Judge, who thereupon observed—l am inclined to think
that the better way for your party is to go on with an
action for infringement of your patent, if you so think
fit, with liberty to the opposite party to apply for their
costs in this court, if you do not proceed with such ac-
tion at common law.
Mr. Elderton and Mr. Webster followed Mr. Turner
on the same side.
Mr. ROUPELL, for the defendants, denied that there had
been any infringement of this person's patent. The de-
fendants used the gutta percha to protect insulated wire
only for telegraphic communications. The composition
used by his clients was not simple gutta percha, but a
composition including, with the gutta percha, sulphur
and gum. The manufacture of this article was perfectly
different from that of the plaintiff, who clearly, from the
terms of his specification, was precluded from any claim
to participate in any invention of the defendants for
lan improved method of telegraphic communication of
intelligence.
Mr. Fools followed on the same side.
Lord LANGDALE said—l do not consider that the
plaintiff is entitled to an account as prayed, but I shall
let the application stand over, in order to see whether
they bring on their action at common law for damages.
I see no reason for granting the injunction. Had there
been a clear case math out of mala fides in respect to
the exhibits and drawings produced by the plaintiff, and
had it been shown and pressed on the Court that misre-
presentation had taken place, the judgment might have
been conclusive.
The motion to stand over.
His Lordship will not sit in the Rolls' Court again
until Saturday next.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Feb. 10.
(Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron
PLATT Bud a Common Jury.)
SCARISIRICK AND OTHERS V. KINNAIRD.
This case commenced on Friday, and did not close
till late to•day. It was an action to try the right of pro-
perty in certain books seized by the Sheriff of Middlesex,
under a writ of execution against Mr. James Bohn, the
well-known foreign bookseller.
Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. M. Smith, and Mr. Hodgson,
appeared on behalf of the plaintiffs, who were the Bishop
of Llandaff, Mr. Scarisbrick, a gentleman of property
in Yorkshire, and Mr. Hyam Ansell, of the City; Mr.
Martin, Mr. Bramwell, Mr. Willes, and Mr. Burchell,
conducted the defendant's case. _ .

Towards the close of the year 1843, Mr. Bohn, who
then carried on business in King William-street, Strand,
became bankrupt. With a desire to save a part of his
stock, and enable him to resume his business, the plain-
tiffs agreed to subscribe 1,5001.—Mr. Scarisbrick sub-
scribing 750 L, Mr. Ansell 500 t, and the Bishop of Llan-
daff 2501. With this sum they bought some of the
books of his assignees, and placed them under his care,
he beim, at liberty to sell them as opportunity offered in
his trade, and they to receive the proceeds. A brother
of Mr. Bohn was placed in possession of the books,
aid was paid 21. a week by the plaintiffs for attending
ing to them. Mr. Bohn having resumed business, and
having again become crippled in his means, obtained
some advances of money from a Mr. Hoare, a solicitor,
to whom he made a bill of sale in January, 1846. In
the following August he made another bill of sale to a
Captain Long, who was to advance 3,0001. in order to
clear off all his liabilities to the plaintiffs as well as
others. His difficulties were increasing a few months
afterwards; in December the same year all his stock,
consisting of 16,000 volumes of the highest and rarest
class, and including the works formerly purchased by
the plaintiffs, were seized by the sheriff at the suit of
Captain Long, and sold. The action was brought to re-
cover the price or the value of the books belonging to
the plaintiffs. These were the facts to prove the plain-
tiffs entitled to tbe property in question. It was further
proved that at the sale the books were sold much below
their value. The case for the defendant was that Mr.
Ansell, at least, had no right to sue, as he had disposed
of his interest in the books to Mr. Hoare on the 10th of
July, 1845, and never afterwards interfered in the busi-
ness; that notice of the seizure had been given to the
solicitors of the other two plaintiffs on the 22d of De•
centber, 1846, two days before the books were removed,
and that no claim was made on behalf of the plaintiffs,
and that the sale took place in the usual manner. These
points having been made out to the satisfaction of the
jury, a verdict on that issues embracing them, and which
went to the substance of the action, was found for the
defendant.

duced by the Rev. Mr. Gleig, Chaplain-General to the
sd Forces, at the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, will
45c1 leave that establishment in the course of next month, to
f_. join those regiments in which vacancies have occurred
7, consequent upon the discharge of those Sergeants under
the old system.
THE OLD PENINSULAR WARRIORS AT CHELSEA
HOSPITAL.— Last Wednesday proved a glorious day for
the old veterans of many a hard-earned fight, upon the
occasion of the reception of the long and anxiously-
looked-for Peninsular medals. The distribution was
under the superintendence of Colonel Sir John Wilson,
C. 8., the Adjutant of the establishment, who took the
opportunity of commenting upon their gallant conduct
in the cause of their country, and expressed a wish that
each of them would live many years to wear their gra-
cious Sovereign's mark of her approbation of their ser-
vices.
THE GOVERNOR OF MALTA.—It is strongly reported
that it is likely that Mr. More O'Ferral will relinquish
the Government of this island very shortly, and that the
Governorship will be amalgamated, as previously to his
appointment, with that of Commander-in-Chief, Lieu-
tenant Ellice holding both appointments. It is said that
Mr. O'Ferral is heartily sick of the " smytches," and
their intolerable hostility towards Englishmen, and more
especially the British army. Mrs. M. O'Ferral has been
absent from Malta for the last six months.
SHELLS AND SHELL- ROOMS.—The Admiralty have or-
dered that in ships where the shell-rooms are already
fitted, the supply of fitted shells is to be according to the
number the shell-room is calculated to hold.
THE EARL OF HARDWICKE.—We have authority for
stating that Captain the Earl of Hardwicke did not so-
licit employment from the present Government ; but the
command of the Vengeance, 84, having been offered to
him (with what view and for what reasons let our readers
infer themselves), the Noble Earl, who never re-
fused service, accepted the command. Lord Hardwicke,
it will be remembered, is on the Senior Captains' List, the
67th only from the top ; and not having served his term
for: his flag rank, it may easily be imagined that the
Noble Lord was most desirous of making up his two
years as soon as possible. No doubt the present Govern-
ment, and the Admiralty especially, were heartily glad
to get rid of a troublesome customer on the Navigation
Laws' question, as also on the reduction of our naval
forces. It happened in this instance that the Noble
Lord's disposition to serve afloat jumped with the disin-
terested desire of the Government to employ him.

ROYAL NAVAL ASSIPTANT-SUAGEONSe•-.A deputation

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 10.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster.)
ZINGET V. GEOGHEGAN AND WITHERS.
Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Pearson were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Denman for the
defendants.
The plaintiff was a schoolmistress, who occupied
apartments in Robert-street, Chelsea. She brought the
pre.ent action to recover compensation in damages for an
injury sustained under the following circumstances :
It appeared that the defendant had a claim for rent
furniture in the
upon a person of the name of Souter, and believing the
plaintiff's apartments to be the property
of this person he sent in a broker,
.who took therefrom
sundry articles alleged by the. plaintiff to be her property.
In the effort to obtain admission the front parlour door
was broken open, and on the plaintiff being sent for (for
she did not reside upon the premises), and seeing what
was done, she immediately sent out for a policeman.
The school was shut up for some time in consequence of
this proceeding. The terms of the school were one
guinea a quarter for each scholar, provided the money
be paid in advance, and 301. a quarter if not so paid. It
was stated in evidence that it would cost 201. to repur-
chase the articles which had been taken.
The defence was that the goods belonged to the
plaintiff's brother, who had gone by the name of Souter;
that he had left the premises which he had occupied,
without paying the rent, and the goods were followed to
the plaintiff's apartments where she held her school. It
was also stated that this person! Souter, was now on his
way to America. The first defendant was the former
landlord of Souter, and the other was the broker.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 501.

LOCK V. ASHTON.
Hr. Sergeant C. Jones was counsel for the plaintiff;
Mr..Whitehurst and Mr. Flowers for the defendant.
'The plaintiff, who was carman in the employ of the
defendant, a corn merchant living in the Blackfriers-
road, brought this action to recover compensation in
damages for his false imprisonment by the defendant. It
apps3ared that the plaintiff had been sent by the defend-
ant, with, as it was at first supposed, 20 sacks of oats,
but the fact was that two of the sacks were so ,much
tom that no oats were put into them. A receipt
was accordingly given to him for only 18 sacks. Upon
the return of the plaintiff to his master's house, one of
the sacks was missing. The defendant suspecting the
plaintiff of dishonesty, ordered him to be taken into
cu3t. ody, when be was removed to Clerkenwell station.-
house. The next morning he was taken before the
magistrate, when he was remanded. Before the time
had t arrived for his re-examination, it was discovered that
the u kissing sack had been left with the toll-collector as
aecur4y for the toll, and the oharftater of the plaintiff

BEGGING - LETTER IMPOSTOR EXTRAORDINARY.—
James I hompson, alias Nixon, alias Sporr, alias Heppel,
alias Robson, alias Henderson, a middle-aged man of re-
spectable appearance, was brought up in the custody of
Horsford, the mendicity officer, charged with attempting
to obtain money from our Sovereign Lady the Queen by
means of begging letters.
Horsford being sworn, stated, that he was sent for lby
Mr. Taylor, who is connected with the household of
Prince Albert, and, in consequence of a communication
made to him, he made arrsinements to trace the author
of the letter produced, which was sent to the Queen:—
" Poplar, London, Sept. 6, 1848.
" May it please your Majesty,-.—l am sorely afraid,
not having had any answer to either of the letters I
addressed to your Majesty at Osborne House, enclosing
a letter from Lord Ravenworth, that I have done
wrong, and that your Majesty doesliot sanction it. If
such be the case, I am very sorry for it, and beg to ask
pardon for the liberty, as I have erred through igno-
rance, and not being aware of your Majesty's customs,
besides being almost past myself at three deaths taking
place in my family in such a short time, thereby dis-
tressing me beyond endurance; and am sorry to add
that I have made as yet no progress since I last wrote
to your Majesty, craving as a particular favour your
Majesty's benevolent consideration, and the return of
Lord Ravenworth's letter, which would in all probability
assist me in gaining some position by which I may be
able to obtain a livelihood. If, therefore, your Majesty
will please to take me into your gracious consideration,
and cause to be returned to me Lord Ravenworth's
letter, I will ever pray for your long life and hap-
piness.—l am you Majesty's most humble and obedient
servant, " ELIZABETH HENDERSON.
" Your Majesty will please cause it to be directed for
me, Post-office, Poplar, London."
There were also two other letters from the same per-
son, the envelop of one,i in answer, being enclosed to his
Lordship to induce him to send an enclosure. Witness
went on Tuesday to Poplar, and saw a letter addressed
to Mrs. Henderson, from a lady at Morpeth, which in-
duced him to go to 53, Three Colts-street, Limehouse,
upon which he took him into custody, and found in his
pocket-book a letter from Mrs. Baker Cresswell, en-
closing a money order for 204. Among the several per-
sons of distinction with whom the prisoner has carried on
a correspondence, were the Queen Dowager, Earl Har-
rowby, the Duke of Buccleuch, Lnrd Eldon, Lord John
Russell, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, &e., and he was
convicted in March, 1847, of obtaining money by the
same means from Mr. Wm. Grey, M.P., then secretary
to Lord John Russell.
Mr. Ferguson, a clerk belonging to the Mendicity
Society, said that the woman Henderson, who went by
the name of Skelton, was convicted for attempting to ob-
tain money from Lord Mulgrave in February, 1848.
?tlary Ann Coglin, servant to Miss Wood, who keeps
the post office at High-street, Poplar, said that the pri-
soner frequently called for letters for some months past.
On Friday night sbe delivered him the letter produced,
but his wife bad been only once for letters, and in con-
sequence of refusing to give them to her she brought a
list of the places from which she expected to receive
letters. The prisoner told witness that the woman was
his cousin, and when he called on Friday he seemed to
think that the letter had been broken open.
Mr. Barnett, who keeps the post-office in Three Colts-
street, said that when the prisoner called on Saturday
Horsford was in attendance, and took him into custody.
The prisoner said he would rather decline saying any-
thing in his defence, and ho was ordered to be remanded.

siers, of Tottenham-court-road, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Henry, charged with having stolen 521. from
the desks of the cashiers on the premises belonging to
those gentlemen.
A solicitor, who appeared for the Messrs. Shoolbred,
said that a robbery had been committed on their premises
on Wednesday last, the 7th inst., by some one who must
have known the premises. Several of the cashiers' desks
had been forced open, and among others the desk in the
approbation room, from which the money was taken. A
reward of 1001. was offered for the apprehension of the
person or persons who committed the offence, and on
Friday Inspector Haines apprehended the prisoner, who
be had no doubt, had committed the robbery.
Inspector Haines, of the detective force, said that from
information he received he watched the prisoner into a
public. house in Church-street, Blackfriars-road, and told
him he wanted to speak to him about a robbery at Mr.
Shoolbred's, in Tottenham-court-road. The prisoner
replied that he had not been there for three months. He
said he was lodging at 6, Church-street, and that he
slept in a little back parlour with his landlord. This
afterwards turned out to be false. He said he had no
boxes or clothes. He (Haines) then searched him, and
found 31. 10s. in gold and Ss. in silver, in a new purse in
his pocket, and also a new key. He heard the prisoner
tell Mr. Shoolbred that he had hidden some of the
money in the dustheap at Church-street, but upon its
being searched it was not found.
Sergeant Wbicher, of the detective force, stated that
having been informed the prisoner resided at 48, John.
street, Blackfriars-road, he went there, and was shown
into a back attic, which was the prisoner's room, where
he discovered a box, and trying the key in the prisoner's
pocket it was found to fit the lock. The box contained
several articles of wearing apparel, quite new. The pri-
soner told him that he was driven to it by distress.

John Nippins, a shopman at a hosiery establishment,
said that the prisoner came to his master's shop at
eleven o'clock on Thursday, and bought goods to the
amount of 3L 4s. 6d. The goods produced were the
same. He bought a purse on Friday, which was the
same produced.
The prisoner being asked what he had to say, stated
that he had been driven to do it through distress. Mr.
Shoolbred had taken his character away, and he might
just as well lose his life as his character. He tried his
utmost, but it was useless.
Mr. HENRY remanded him for further evidence to be
produced.
EMBEZZLEMENT BY ♦ RECEIVING CLORK.—A
sickly-looking young man, named John Knight, who is
the receiving clerk at Mr. Bielfeld's, pa.pier-macho
manufacturer in Wellington-street, was charged with
having embezzled several sums of money from his master.
Mr. Harrison, the solicitor, who appeared for Mr.
Bielfeld, said that the prisoner was the receiving clerk,
and it was his duty to receive the money which had been
collected by clerks appointed for that purpose, and to
place the account in his cash-book, which Mr. Bielfeld
signed every week. He then called
Mr. T. E. Jervis, formerly a collecting clerk in the
employ of Mr. Bielfeld, who stated that on the 14th of
February, 1848, he received the sum of 51. 6s. from a
Mr. Heycock, and on the ISth of February, 1848, he re-
ceived 21. 3s. 3d. from Mr. Thomas, or Thompson, Cam-
berwell, both of which sums he paid to Mr. Knight, the
receiving clerk, who receipted his (Jervis's) book, which
was produced.
Mr. C. F. Bielfeld was then called, and said he had
looked over the cash book and found no entries of the
sums stated to have been paid.
The prisoner denied having appropriated the sums to
his own use, and requested that he might be allowed to
look at the cash-book, as he said he had no doubt he
could show the entries at some other period of the year,
although not on the precise day of reception.
Mr. Harrison begged Mr. Henry to remand the pri-
soner, as there were several other cases against him with
which he was unable to proceed on so short a notice, the
prisoner having only been taken into custody that
morning.
Mr. HENRY remanded the prisoner for a week.

THE MURDER AT ST. GILEB'B.—J. Manley, a plas-
terer, residing in Phoenix-street, St. Giles's, was again
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with murdering
his wife.
The first examination took place on Wednesday, the
principal witness against the prisoner being a widow
woman of the name of Gurden, whose evidence
went to show that early on the morning of that
day the deceased knocked for admission at
witness's door, affirming that her husband (the pri-
soner) had turned her out of his house ; upon which she
was requested by witness to enter, and reposed for some
time upon witness's bed. About seven o'clock the pri-
soner entered the room by forcing open the door, and
after dragging deceased from the bed by her heels,
he dashed her on the floor, and whilst she
Was lying there, kicked her about the head.
saying, "I will be the death of you." He then rifled
her pockets, and left her lying upon the ground, a corpse.
Since that day a post mortem examination of the body
has taken place, and, in accordance therewith, the fol-
lowing deposition was made by Mr. W. Simpson, sur-
geon, High-street, Bloomsbury :—" I have, since the last
inquiry, made a post mortem examination of the body
of the deceased, and found no external marks of vio-
lence; the cause of her death was owing to a rupture of
one of the blood-vessels of the brain, which might have
been produced by a fall."
In addition to what has already been reported, Jane
Kaly, of 3, Phasnix-street, stated that the prisoner and
his wife occupied a room is the same house with herself
Between twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday morn-
ing she was in bed, and beard the deceased on the
stairs; she appeared intoxicated, and was abusing the
prisoner, who seemed to be trying to cause her to come
into the room. After that there was a silence until about
two o'clock, when she again heard her on the stairs. She
did not hear the prisoner at that time. Deceased cried
for a few minutes, and she heard no more. Deceased
was very much in the habit of drinking, particularly so
the last three weeks.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial upon the
charge of wiltul murder.

THE CfjiTNTRY MARKETS

MANCHESTER, FEB. 10.—The want of animation in the re-
ports from London, Liverpool, and other leading markets held
during the week has caused an inactive feeling in the trade here,
and only a moderate amount of business has occurred in any
article at the currency of the preceding market day. Of malt
coastwise, and oats and oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals at
Liverpool and Runcorn are to a fair extent, but of other arti-
cles the supplies are scanty. From abrcad the imports of
beans and Indian corn are large. with a moderate quantity of
wheat and flour. Our market this morning was of an exceed-
ingly languid character and the advance noted on this day
se'nnight was not maintained for either wheat or flour. Oats
and oatmeal were likewise in very limited demand, but without
alteration in value.
WINCHESTER, FEB. 10.—A well attended market both of
buyers and sellers, the new Corn Exchange being well stored
with sacks of every kind of grain, seeds, &c., the remarkably
mild and fine weather having induced many to prepare lot
spring sowing; there was a good demand for best oats, beans,
peas, tares, and small seeds, all at rather advanced prices.
Millers were ready buyers of fine dry wheats at an advance of
at least 5s per load of five quarters over the quoted prices of

chevalier barley, at an advance of Is per quarter; different
qualities of foreign wheats and barley were shown by
Southampton corn factors, which found purchasers at a similar
advance in price. Canada flour was also offered, though not
much approved of by buyers. Indian corn advanced 1s per

in this district have this week been generally short, and the
advanced rates of last week have been well sustained. In the
markets in this part of the kingdom held on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, there was a further rise of Is per quarter, but in those
