SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAN.)
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCHELL.)
SPARRNIV V. ROPER.
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 attoiney said that the defendant was
the honorary secretary of the Society for the Protection
of Needlewomen. The defence was, he understood, that
the goods bad not been ordered by or for defendant, but
had been ordered by a Miss Lord; if evidence to that
effect was adduced, it would affurd an opportunity for
reply.
Evidence was then given that articles had been or-
dered from time to time and delivered at defendant's
house. The orders were in the name of Mrs. Roper,
atd the goods were always taken iu without hesitatit.o.
Mr. Nash, a cheesemonger, was called to prove he had
acted on orders given by Mrs. Roper, and had been paid
with the exc, prion of a trifling balance.
There being no evidence in support of the plea, a ver-
dict was give❑ tor the amount claimed.
The case lasted the whole of the morning, and the
complaints of unfairness were mutual; the defendant
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 a
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 shake his oipiuion that
11111/1111 LO Ma 00, return
he could not intorroi,. ILP nu.
4t.liestion of costs must be left to the
Utßii'e. This case, however, presented one novel
feature, that defendant had urged the proceedings on
himself.

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

CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY

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 THESIGER said this prosecution had
been instituted by the Minister in this country
of the Kieg of the Two Sicilies against the de-
fendants, three of whom appeared in the Court,
and one of the name of D'Arnico had not appeared,
alleging against thaw that they had enlisted men and
equipped 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
case 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 iiiipossl hie to conceive anything which was
more likely to disturb the friendly relations which ex-
isted between 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 incumbent duty to his Sovereign to bring the parties
to justice charged with an infringement of the Act in

fire, nt
j;1 111.1 t 1. Leta
shaken almost to their foundations; in all they bad
been very seriously endangered. The King of
the Two Sicilies had not been exempt from what he (Sir •
Thesiger) might characterise as the prevalent spirit
of the titres. In the island of Sicily disturbances broke
out in 1848, which teltim.oely led to the establishment
of an inset, g. lit G. le-mm.lU at Palermo. Of that in-
surgent G..vert.u.ent the two defentiatits, Granatetlt and
Scalia, e ere the acer. dited 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 pure ses of the revolutionary Government, and
with that object they entered into an agreement with
the Peninsular and Oriental St► am• packet Company to
purchase from them two vessels, one of them
called the Vectis and the other the Bombay,
for which they were to give the sum of 60,0001.
In that agreement the deferdants 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
superintendence of the def►ndant Moody; and-it would
appear that she was fitted oat entirely-as a war steamer,
with the exception of her armament, which was not to
be put on boat din this country. Sbe 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 had in-
tended in the first instance; but finding afterwards that
it was not the feet that Palermo was blockaded, the crew
steered for that port. She was carrying English colours,
but when she came near the harbour those colours were
struck and those of Sicily hoisted. The Learned Counsel
then proceeded to state the circumstances under which

utiot.ary

)1 t

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 REET—(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 ages
stated that about eleven o'clock last night he was pro-
ceeding along Oxt'ord•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, 00
arriving near Crown-court, the prisoner cried out, " Ohl
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 wet
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 havieg
been proved against the prisoner,
Mr. HARDwick committed her for trial.
