SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCHELL.)
SPARRmIV V. RuPER.

The plaintiff in this action is a tea dealer, and defend-
ant resides in Eastbourne-terrace, Regents-park. The
sum claimed was 31. for goods sold, and the defendant
pleaded that he was not indebted.

The plaintiff's attoinry said that the defendant was
he honorary secretary of the Society for the Protection
of Needlewomen. The defence was, he understood, that
the goods had not been ordered by or for defendant, but
had been ordered by a Miss Lord; if evidence to that
fleet was adduced, it would afford an opportunity for
reply.
Evidence was then given that articles bad been or•
dered from time to time and delivered at detendaner
house. The orders were in the name of Mrs. Roper,
tad the goods were always taken in without hesitation.
Mr. Nash, a cheesemonger, was called to prove he had
acted on orders given by Mrs. Roper, and had been paid
with the exception of a trifling balance.
There being no evidence in support of the plea, a ver-
dict was given for the amount claimed.

The case lasted the whole of the morning, and the
complaints of unfairness were mutual; the defendan,
complained that the action should have been brought in
the superior court, and the plaintiff admitted that having
commenced the action he would willingly have aban-
doned it, but defendant caused a rule to be taken out.
compelling him to go on with the action, or submit to
judgment, as in case of a nonsuit, which would have
entitled defendant to costs.

The UNDER-SHERIFF, after hearing the arguments,
said nothing had been urged to *hake his opinion that
he could not interfere; he was bound to make a return
,t the writ, and the question of costs must be left to the
Court above. This case, however, presented one novel
feature, that defendant had urged the proceedings on
himself.

Mr. NEWTON, the defendant's counsel, said the costs
would now be 50/. instead of as many shillings.

CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAI

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and Mr. Justice MAULE.)
Franco Maccagnone Granatelli, commonly called Prince
Granatelli, Leuis Scalia, and John Moody, surrendered
to take their trial this morning under an indictment
charging them with an infringement of the Foreign En-
listment Act, under the circumstances stated below:--
Salidore D'Amico, was also included in the indictment,
but did not surrender.
Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson,
and Mr. Bodkin
appeared as counsel for the prosecution; and Sir F.
Kelly and Mr. Ballantine defended Granatelli, Mr.
Martin, Q.C., Leuis Scalia, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,
Captain Moody.
Sir FREDERICK THESioER said this prosecution had
been instituted by the Minister in this country
of the King of the Two Sicilies against the de-
fendants, three of whom appeared in the Court,
and one of the name of D'Ainico had not appeared,
alleging against them that they had enlisted men and
(quipped vessels for the purpose of warlike operations
against the King of the Two Sicilies, the lawful Sove-
reign of that country, in contravention of an Act of
Parliament passed in 1819, commonly called the Foreign
Enlistment Act. Although the recital in that Act ap •
peered to be of a more descriptive character than its
provisions, and to apply more particularly to the sub-
jects of this country, yet, when attention was directed to
the enacting parts of the Act, it would be found there
were provisions sufficiently wide to embrace the
ease of every person resident in this country who dared
to raise troops or arm vessels for the purpose of
employing them against a friendly State. It
was necessary for him to dwell upon the policy
and object of that Act of Parliament, because
it was quite inix.issible to conceive anything which was
more likely to disturb the friendly relations which ex-
isted een States, and to lead to a rupture between
them, than for persons who were resident in one of the
countries to raise troops or to arm vessels within its
territories for the purpose of hostile operations against
the dominions of the other. It was entirely from a
sense of the danger of such a procedure that the Mi.
nister of the King of the Two Sicilies had felt it to be
his incumbeut duty to his Sovereign to bring the parties
to justice charged with an infringement of the Act in

criesitore Fur seine time past the various States of the
Continent had te tlt cen:ulsed by revolutionary
mov,enrnls. In some of item the ancient institu-
tion, had bee n subvert: d ; in others they had been
sleeken almost to thEir foundations; in all they had
been ver3 seriously endangered. The King of
the Two Sicilie: had not be it exempt from what he (Sir
F. Thesiger) might characterise as the prevalent spirit
of the tine e. In the i,land of Sicily disturbances broke
out in 1848, which ultra:tete!), led to the establishment
of an insurgent Gevetrirerent at Palermo. Of that in-
surgent Gevernreent the two defendants, Granatelli and
Scalia, e ere the acorn diced envoys or commissioners ;
and he believed that in some such character they had
been received by the Minister of this country. In July,
1848, they were desirous of obtaining an armed force
for the purpeses of the revolutionary Government, and
with that object they cantered into an agreement with
the Peninsular and Oriental SO am-packet Company to
purchase from them two vessels, one of them .
called the Vectis and the other the Bombay,
fur which they were to give the sum of 60,0001.
In that agreement the defendants Granatelli and
Scalia were described as Members of Parliament,
and commissioners for the Sicilian Government. The
vessel Vectis was fitted out at Liverpool under the
supetintendence of the defy ndent Moody; and it would
appear that she was fitted out entirely as a war steamer,
with the exception of her armament, which was not to
be put on board in this country. She left this country
on the 9th March, 1849, and made her course towards
Sicily. The crew found that Palermo was under a
blockade, and the vessel did not go there as she bad in-
tended in the first instance; but finding afterwards that
it was not the fact that Palermo was blockaded, the crew
steered for that port. St e was carrying English colours,
but when she came near the harbour those colours were
struck and those of Sicily hoisted. The Learned Counsel
then preceded to state the circumstances under which
the Bombay was fitted out on the same expedition, but
detained by the Custom-house authorities in this country
before she set out upon it. The question which the jury
would have to decide would be whether the defendants,
or any of them, equipped those steamers, or attempted
to do so, as armed vessels to serve against the sovereign
of the Two Sicilies, or whether they conspired together
to accomplish that object.

The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

MA RLBRO'-ST RE ET—(THIS DAY.)
Matilda Jones, a woman of the town, was placed at
the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
stolen from the person of Mr. Edmund North, hair-
dresser, 12, Little Grosvenor-street, a silver watch,
value 51.

The prosecutor, an old man, about 65 years of age,
stated that about eleven o'clock last night he was pro-
ceeding along Oxford-street, when the prisoner came
up to him, and asked him to accompany her into
Chapel-street. He at first refused, but after a deal of
solicitation he was induced to walk with her. They
had proceeded some distance down the street when, on
arriving near Crown-court, the prisoner cried out, " Oh,
here is a policeman." She then ran away as fast as
she could. He was about pursuing her when two men
came up and asked him " what was the matter?" He
said, " Nothing that concerns you." They then went
away, and on witness feeling for his watch he found
that it had been cut from his watch-guard. He was
positive the watch was safe when he first met the
prisoner. He then gave information to a police-con'
stable whom he met, and the prisoner was shortly after
taken into custody in a public-house close by, where
she was found concealed behind the door.
The prisoner stoutly denied the charge, and said she
never saw the prosecutor, but a former conviction having
been proved against the prisoner,
Mr. HAnnwicK committed her for trial.
