EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before the CHID
BARON and a Common Jury.)
NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND HEREFORD RAILWAY' 11'
BROWN.
This action was brought to recover 323/. 7s. being
arrears due by the defendant to the company upon cea"
tain calls, together with interest.
Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. COelv.
burn for the defendant.
The defendant was Mr. John Brown, of Sydenhanil
and he was the holder of 75 shares, upon which he be'
neglected to pay two calls of 2/. each.
Mr. COCKBURN said, upon the facts of the case b°
had no answer, but he had to raise a point which 110.°
stood for the decision of the Court of Common Pleas In
the case of the Cork and Bandon Railway v. Connolly.
and which had reference to the notice anterior to rcial‘"
ing the call, and not subsequent to the call. By the
22d section of the Act the shareholders were entitled In
21 days' formal notice of the intention of the dir,ctors £.O
make the call, and as that had not been given in fbi°
case he apprehended that the calls were informal.
The CraiEr BARON said he would reserve the point,
but did not think that it would much avail the de-
fendant.

A verdict for the full amount was then returned for
,he plaintiffs, with leave to move to enter a nonsuit upon
he 22d section.

THE SAME COMPANY V. ADDIS.
A verdict for 2151. 7s. sd. was returned in this case,
with leave to move as in the former case.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Charles Short, a boy about thirteen years of age Wes
charged before Mr. Jardine with stealing a valuable
exotic in full flower from the stall of a salesman in C°'
vent-garden market this morning.
In his defence the prisoner said "he picked up the
flowerpot in the market, and thought it was no hstral
to take it away."
Mr. JARDINE observed that he must have known vetl well that ho had no right to take the plant away, or L°
touch it at all. Ile sentenced him to be imprisoned
three days, and to be once whipped.

CLERK EN WELL.—(TIIIS DAY.) l?obert Robson was charged before Mr. Coombe wi th
stealing a great quantity of brass materials the proper v
of his employer, Mr. Johnson, the eminent barometer"
maker. It appeared that the prisoner, who has beeli
upwards cf seventeen years in the employment of tilt
_prosecutor as a mathematical instrument maker, was th(/
only person in the establishment entrusted with th'
cutting and working up of the brass for certain parts er:
the works in the wheel barometer, and for some montht
large quantities of the materials had been abstracte(l
from the workshop. It was found that 00'
Friday last the prisoner sold twenty-three
pounds weight of brass-work, as waste, at Mr'
Bachelor's brassfoundry in Zlbemarle-street. T"
prisoner was taken into custody, and ou the metal being
now produced, Mr. Johnson stake] that he had no doubt
whatever it was his property. It was precisely of the
kind entrusted to the prisoner last week, and corres-
ponded with the missing quantity. It was cut for the,
purposes of the wheel barometer machinery, and would
come into the hands of no other person in his establish;
meat but the prisoner. He had lately lost upwards 0'
thirty pounds' worth of this material.
A witness from Mr. Bachelor's proved that the
prisoner had sold the metal produced, and that ho he'
recently sold at the same foundry other quantities ee
different occasions.
The prisoner was remanded to give time for further
inquiries. He said he did not " mean to say how lie
got the brass."
