EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. Nov. J.

The LORD MAYOR said he had, since the humbug-
ging advertisements of persons who called themselves
agents for foreign lotteries had been last exposed in
the press, received letters from correspondents in
various parts of the kingdom complaining of the per-
severance of the vendors of the enormous German
prizes with the enumeration of which attempts were
so constantly made to gull the English public.
The following is one of the communications he had
received :

" Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead, Nov. 5.
"My Lord,—l would not intrude myself upon
your notice save to expose the extraordinary adver-
tisement inclosed (which has been forwarded to my
present abode), a similar one to which received
some time ago—(the letter inclosed a form of appli-
cation for shares in the Imperial Royal Austrian Loan
and the Electoral Hessian State Loan-offices in Lon-
don.) Doubtless others, though living under a Go-
vernment where lotteries have been for years
abolished by law, have like appeals made to their
credulity. The parties issuing these notices must
conceive my countrymen to be very weak to seriously
listen to such statements ; but the recent disclosure
reported in the Times, made by an Irish peer through
your medium, is a proof that many are led away by
this system of polite robbery.
" If the publicity of this be of any use it is at your
Lordship's service.—l am, my Lord, your humble
and obedient servant,

Upon entering his stable at the latter end of last
week the prosecutor discovered that the, horse in
question, which with another he had left safe there in
the morning, had been stolen, arid upon making in •
quiries he was informed by a woman living in a
house nearly adjoining that, while looking out of
her window in search of her son, she observed a
short man enter the stable about two o'clock in
the day, and shortly after return with one of the
horses, which he led away with a halter, but, not
suspecting a robbery had been committed, she did
not particularly notice the thice. Information was
thereupon given to the police, and Sergeant Brannan,
of the G. division, succeeded the next morning in
tracing the animal to the possession of another cab
proprietor, named Green, in some mews near Dorset-
square, who stated, upon questioning him, that. he
had purchased it of the prisoner Burke in Smithfield
market, for 61. 10s., at a time which must have been
only half an hour after it had been stolen. The man
Burke, who was then in his company, did not deny
the sale, and accounted for his possession of the
horse by stating that he had purchased it for 51.
10s. of the other prisoner, Moss, who resided at
Bexley-heath, just before he had sold it to Green,
The sergeant accordingly proceeded to Bexley-heaths
where, ater some trouble, he found out Moss, who
told him that he had bought the animal for 41., also
in Smithfield market, of a lad who brought it there
with the halter, it appeared, it still had on, and
which boy was an entire stranger to him. Moss
was thereupon taken into custody, and, upon his
return to town, Burke was taken also.
A married woman, named Anne Tremayne, and
her son, George Tremayne, proved that the horse
had been stolen in the manner before described, but
neither could positively swear to the prisoners, though
the man who stole it was obout the height and ap-
pearance of the shortest of them.
Mr. Green, the laq purchaser, declared that the
real value of the animal was much under the estimate
formed by the prosecutor, or he should not havegiven
the price for it he had, and said that he bought it
with perfect confidence in the honesty of the prisoner
Burke, whom he had known for many years, and had
not the slightest idea that he was engaged in any
other than a regular business transaction.
Mr. Ileritage, who appeared for the prisoners, ad-
dressed the magistrate at considerable length in behalf
of his clients, who had instructed him to make much
the same defence to the bench that they had already
made to the officer, and contended that the evidence
adduced was wholly insufficient to justify the case
being sent before a jury ; but
Mr. Hasismn expressed himself as being of a con-
trary opinion, and ordered both prisoners to be fully
committed to Newgate for trial.
CLERKENWELL.
Jonathan Starling, aged sixteen, was charged with
cruelty to a horse.

that he saw the prisoner
,Stdepephoesnesdon
driving a horse and cart near the Brecknock Arms,
A.
and the animal was covered with sores,
.and the blood
was literally running from its neck, and from that
part under the collar—and the poor animal was evi-
dently in the greatest torture. On questioning the
prisoner, he said he had driven it from Enfield. Ills
master told him if he was stopped with it, he (the pri-
soner) would not be punished; they would only
take the horse. IVitness gave him into custody,
and the horse and cart were taken possession of, and
were then at the back of the court.
The prisoner, in his defence,_ said he knew the horse
was in the state described when he took it out, but
his master said he would not be hurt if he was stopped
with it; they would only take the horse.
Mr. TYRAYBITT—Pray who and what is your
master ? Prisoner—lie is a higgler living at the
King's Arms, Enfield.
Mr. TYRIVIIITT (indignantly)—Your conduct is
detestable, you are as bad as your master, and I will
teach you that poor animals were sent here for man's
use and not his abuse. It is persons of your class
that grow up in crime of the worst description.
You begin with cruelty towards dumb animals,
and then you become reckless as to committing
acts of cruelty and probably come to the gallows.
As long as I sit here I am determined to check such
acts of cruelty by inflicting the severest penalty of
the law. None but cowardly fellows would be guilty
of such conduct ; they will ill- use a poor dumb crea-
ture, and run away like cowards if they themselves
are attacked. On such a person as yourself I have
no doubt that anything I can say will have no effect;
I hope it may, and to convince you that you shall
not be guilty of such horrid cruelty in future with
impunity I convict you in the penalty of 20s. or ten
days' imprisonment.
The prisoner was committed to prison in default of
payment, and the horse and cart were detained.
THAMES.
Mr. John Berwick Whitby, aged 50, a woolstapler,
who gave his address, 16, Manning-lane, Bradford,
Yorkshire, was charged with stealing a quantity of
wool from the St. Katherine Dock.
The prisoner, who is very respectably connected,
had been frequently seen in the wool warehouse in the
St. Katherine Dock, and his manner had recently
given rise to suspicion. On Monday he was again
seen there by Mr. Broadley, the deputy warehous-
keeper. There were nearly 2,000 bales of wool
open and for show. Mr. Broadley observed that
the prisoner's pockets looked very bulky, and when
he left the warehouse followed him, and gave
information to a constable named Worley, who
stopped the prisoner just before three o'clock at the
principal entrance of the dock, and asked him
what he bad got about him, to which he replied,
" nothing particular." Worley took him into the
lodge, and again repeated his inquiry. The prisoner
said he had a little wool about: him, and took some
out of his coat pocket very slowly, and suddenly dis-
continued doing so. Worley was not satisfied, and
took some more out of his pockets, and on taking off
his hat wool was found stuffed into it. The prisoner
was asked how he came by the wool ? and he said
that he had been purchasing many bales in the ware-
house ; and on the officer informing him that the
regular practice was to obtain a pass for any samples
brought out of the warehouse, the prisoner said he
had not got one. Worley then left the prisoner in
the lodge while he proceeded to communicate with
Mumford, the superintendent of the Sr. Katherine-
dock police, and on his return saw the prisoner
taking wool out of his pockets and throwing it on
the fire. Worley took the wool out of the fire and
extinguished the flames with his feet. In answer
to questions put to him by Mumford, the prisoner
said he obtained the wool taken from him, weigh-
ing 2ilb., from six bales in the wool floor, but sub-
sequently made another statement—that he obtained
some of the wool from Brown's warehouse, and the
remainder from the London Dock, and gave his
address 01, Trinity-square. On his way to the

" J. J. SMITH."
The LORD MAYOR said be felt much gratification
in being able to state, upon leaving the office of
Chief Magistrate, that multitudes of individuals had
expressed to him their warmest acknowledgments for
having prevented them, by the manner in which he
had denounced the speculations of foreign lottery
agents, from engaging in enterprises likely to be
productive of some loss, and of great disappointment
and chagrin. He confessed he was surprised to find
that persons who called themselves agents of those
foreign lotteries invited the public to purchase shares
at offices in London, notwithstanding the long-ex-
isting prohibition of English lotteries, the existence
of which would not be more strongly calculated to
do mischief to the community than the unchecked
progress of these foreign loose modes of " raising the
wind." His Lordship thought it necessary, upon
leaving the chair, to state that he felt the highest
satisfaction in expressing his opinion that the City
police had acted all through his year of office with
zeal, ability, and skill, and that many of the men
had much distinguished themselves by their extraor-
dinary efforts to break up the gangs of thieves with
which the metropolis was crowded. To the conduc-
tors of the press his Lordship declared he was deeply
indebted for the powerful assistance they had ren-
dered him in his attempts to frustrate the views of
the swindling community, which had suffered con-
siderable diminution through such means.
IVORSHIP-STREE7'.
Henry Moss and Walter Burke, described as horse-
dealers, were placed at the bar fur final examination,
charged upon suspicion of having stolen a hay horse,
value thirty guineas, the property of Mr. William
Heales, a cab proprietor in Gloucester-street, Fins-
bury.

(Sittings in Error, before Lord Chief Justice Wilde,
Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr.
Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Maul; Mr. Justice
Coltman, and Mr. Justice Cresswell.)
BARON DE BODE V. REG.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to set aside a
writ of error brought by the late Baron de Bode. The
Learned Counsel contended that the present plaintiff,
being administrator to the late plaintiff in error, could
not carry on the proceedings under that writ, that it
was not competent for him to do so except upon a
writ of scire facias, and that such writ could not be
obtained except upon the fiat previously obtained
from the Attorney-General, or that without obtain-
ing this fiat from the Attorney-General the only
course left open to the plaintiff would be to apply to
the House of Lords.
The COURT granted the order.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 9.
(Sittings in Banco.)
DOLL V. DOWNES.

In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice
Williams at the last sittings after Trinity Term, and
a verdict found for the plaintiff for 2001.,
Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL moved for a rule to show
cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground
that the verdict was against the bulk of the evidence.
The action was brought to recover the amount due
to the plaintiff, who is an engineer, for work done in
surveying and mapping a projected line of railway,
called the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway, of
which the defendant was a director. The principal point
upon which he founded his application was with re-
ference to the mode in which the plaintiff's charges
were to be liquidated. It was proved at the trial by
the solicitor to the company that the plaintiff agreed
to make the survey on the understanding that he was
to be paid out of the deposits received, and not to
look to the directors for payment.
The COURT granted a rule.
The LORD MAYOR—Shortly after half- past two
o'clock, a procession, headed by the Mace-bearer
and Sword-bearer, and consisting of the Lord Mayor
Elect, the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Recorder,
and several members of the Courts of Aldermen and
Common Council entered the court, and after bowing
to the Bench, the Recorder advanced and, addressing
their Lordships, said—l am desired, by the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of the City of
London, to request the honour of your Lordships'
company at an entertainment to be given this day at
the Guildhall in the City.
Their Lordships then bowed, and the procession
immediately retired.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
The mayoralty of Sir George Carroll, which has
been distinguished by great activity, zeal, and punc-
tuality, closed with his Lordship's adjudication on
some cases connected with the desertion of seamen at
foreign ports, a subject frequently brought before the
Cnief Magistrate's noti-le under the new Registration
Act, the operation of which is said to be producing
great advantage to the owners of ships. His Lord-
ship also took the opportunity of making allusion to
the foreign lotteries, with solicitations from the agents
or pretended agents of which the English, Irish, and
Scotch public have been for a considerable time
harassed ; and to the conduct of the City police
during his year of office.
John Wood, a seaman, was charged by Mr. Cole-
rcan, clerk to the Registrar of Seamen, with having
deserted the Boyne, at Baltimore, in May, 1847,
having signed articles in London for the voyage to
North America and back, at the usual rate of wages,
viz., 31. per month.
Mr. Phillipps, of the firm of Phillipps and Tip-
lady, owner of the Boyne, produced the ship's arti-
cles, on which were endorsed the particulars of the
desertion of 'Wood at Baltimore, by the British Con-
sul there.

The prisoner was committed for thirty days.
John William Rose was charged by Mr.
Coleman with having deserted the Sherwood,
in London, having received 31. in advance
of wages, intended by the owners to be laid
out in the purchase of the necessary clothes, &c.,
for the voyage, but which was expended, as usual
amongst fellows of vagabond propensities, in dissipation
of the grossest kind, the prisoner having been too
drunk to join the vessel when she was leaving dock.
The prisoner said that all that had been said against
him was true enough.
He was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment.
John Mudge was convicted of desertion from the
Acadia, at Pugwash, upon the evidence of Mr. Cole-
man, confirmed by that of Mr. Walton, of Newman's-
court, the owner of the vessel.

Mr. Coleman, upon the part of the Registrar-
General of Seamen in the port of London, begged to
thank his Lordship for the very prompt and efficient
adjudication rendered during the mayoralty in the
numerous cases brought under his Loixlship s notice.
He trusted that the extra duties thus imposed. upon
the Chief Magistrate of the City would prove but tem-
porary. He believed that such would be the result
of the vigorous measures adopt-Sd by his Lordship,
who had, since the Act came into operation, some
months ago, disposed of 380 cases in such a manner as
would produce a powerful effect upon the service.
The LORD MAYOR sail he regretted that his expe-
rience of seamen since his accession to the office of
Lord Mayor was such as to give him a very unfa-
vourable opinion of the state of honourable feeling
amongst them. He had found that they were in the
habit of signing articles in London at the usual rate
of wages at the port, which articles, upon their
arrival at foreign ports where wages were high, they
did not hesitate to violate, to the serious injury of

station-house with Nicoll, a police-constable, 99 11,
he told the policeman he had no occasion to lead him,
and that he was not afraid of the case ; and upon
reaching the station gave his address 16, Manning-
lane, Bradford, and said that he had been in London
only a few weeks. On the same evening, in conse-
quence of what a sailor said in the Police-court on
Monday, Nicoll went to 4, Harrods-place, Well-
close-square, where the prisoner rented an apartment,
and where he found 101-Ib. of wool.
Mr. Broadley said he had no doubt the wool had
been collected from various bales in the warehouse.
It was of various qualities.
The prisoner in defence said, he took the wool
found upon him into the London Dock, after he had
been to the different warehouses and taken samples
from various parcels. He went to the wool ware-
house in the St. Katherine Dock. He was a respect-
able may, and had been in the wool trade since he
was born, he might say.
A tradesman spoke in high terms of the prisoner,
and had never known him otherwise than as a respect-
able man.
Mr. YARDLEY said, the evidence, which was: very
conclusive, left him no alternative but to corniait the
prisoner for trial for stealing the wool.

LAMBETIL
?Ir. Edward Good, an extensive farmer and cow-
keeper at Peckham, appeared before Mr. Elliott to
answer a charge of assault, with intent, &c.
Elizabeth Lloyd, a tall young woman, whose ap-
pearance was very plain and unprepossessing, deposed
that she lived as servant to Mr. Clark, a single gen-
tleman, residing at 18, Camden-place, Seuthampton-
street, Peckham, and knew the defendant, Mr. Good,
from his serving her master with milk. On 117ednes-
day last, the 3d inst., at about three o'clock in the
afternoon, she answered a knock at the door, and on
opening it, Mr. Good, who stood outside, immedi
ately came into the passage. The moment he did so
he caught hold of her and began to kiss her, upon
which she tried to get away, but he with much vio•
lence threw her down in the hall and endeavoured to
effect his purpose, but she ultimately, and by great
exertions, got away from him, and ran into the
kitcheu,:,,Tllee 4efendant followed her there, but did
not probeedliiliftther violence, and ultimately left the
housea_
In replOVieleStions by the magistrate, the witness
said,tbak "a9-sttttacked she cried out 2S loud as she
could IjUt-*Ofebeing no person but herself and the
defetidant-inlltihouse at the time, and no person, as

perrnifted or encouraged the slightest liberties or

she should inform her master of his conduct the in-
stant he came hone ; and she did so.
CrosFeexamined by Mr. Games—Had known Mr.
Good for upwards of twelve months, hut had never
asked his advice as to what she should do about some
delicate matters between herself and her master. The
defendant was, in the habit of asking her if she did
not sleep with her master? and in reply, but in joke,
she used to say, " Oh yes, it's all right."---(Laughter.)
She did not tap at the window on the day in
question for Mr. Good to come in, nor did she
say when she opened the door, " I'm glad you are
come, for I wanted to tell you that I am quite com-
fortable with the little fellow again." After commit-
tiog the outrage she had described up stairs, the de-
fendant followed her to the kitchen, and stopped there
about 20 minutes before going away. When he went
into the kitchen she was ironing some clothes, and
she complained of a violent headache which he hal
caused her, upon which he told her to wash her face
and she would be all right. When t'ae defendant en-
teced the house there was a gardener at work, snowing
a plot of grass close by, but he did not hear her calls
for assistance. This, however, she attributed to his
being very deaf.
Mr. ELLIOTT said that the case was one which, in his
opinion, should go before a jury, and he should there-
fore send it to the sessions.

On the application of Mr. Games, bail was accepted

IVES77IIINSTER.

Ellen illottram and Jane Mee, two women of the
town, were brought up for re-examination, charged
with drugging and robbing a gentleman named Sea-
combo of his gold watch and some money.
The particulars of the previous examination were
fully detailed in The Sun of Wednesday last. Ac-
cording to the statement made by the prisoner Mot-
tram to a corporal of the Grenadier Guards, the
prisoners met the gentleman near the National Gal-
lery, and took him to their abode in Westminster,
where they drugged and robbed him.
On its being inquired yesterday whether there was
any further evidence against the prisoners,
Mr. Land, an inspector of the A division, said that
he had seen Mrs. Seacombe, who informed him that
her husband had been very ill since the drug had
been administered to him, but he appeared to be
getting gradually better until Tuesday, when he
read an account of the examination of the prisoners
on this charge, shortly after which he fell into a state
of madness, and was at the present moment, the in-
mate of a lunatic asylum.
Mr. BRODERIP said, he should remand the priso-
ners for another week. It was a most diabolical
case. Not only was the unfortunate gentleman
plundered, but perhaps himself and family ruined for
ever through the vile usage resorted to the better to
accomplish the robbery. lie should give the very
fullest opportunity to complete the case against the
prisoners.
They were then remanded.

by the use of your ointment and pills, I was cured, t°
the surprise of atl who knew me. (Signed) JoeEr
