SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAmics.)
BARRY AND ANOTHER, V. COHEN AND ANOTHER.
The plaintiffs in this action are wholesale stationers in
Thames-street, and the defendants are the proprietors of the
Llrerpool lYeekly Times.
The defendants suffered judgment to go by default. It
appeared from the facts that the plaintiffs had supplied the
defendants with a large quantity of stamped paper for the
publications of the Liverpool Weekly Times.
Letters from the defendants were put in, admitting the
delivery of the goods. Some little diffieulty, however, arose
as to the price, as the defendants had written to say the price
should be only 91., instead of 9/. 9s.
A clerk of the plaintiff's was called, and said that the price
of the last orders had been reduced, the weight having 1116.
been reduced.
A verdict was given for the plaintiff for 1661. 19e. 6d.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat by adjournment this morning at the Guild-
hall, Westminster, for the purpose of hearing the cases
felony remaining undisposed at Hicks's Hall yesterday
evening, and also for the disposal of the bail cases.
Mr. BALLANTINE appeared on behalf of Major Beniovraki,
and said he was surprised at the application which had been
made on last Tuesday, in the absence of himself (Mr. Belle'
tine), and the defendant or his solicitor, and without the
slightest communication being made to any one of thew.
Mr. Beniowski had had reasons inducing him to change bie
solicitor, and he (Mr. Ballantine) was now prepared with en
affidavit from Mr. Jackson, his present solicitor, in which it
was stated that further postponement, except it would be
extended over the 27th of May, would be ruinous to the de-
fendant, owing to the circumstances of his being at present
engaged in the perfection of certain patents, and he (Mb
Ballantine) now applied to the Court to have the case taken
either at the present sitting or adjourned to the 27th of nest
May.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, after adverting to Mr. Clarkson'e
application on Tuesday, and the statement made by Major
Beniowski yesterday, said it struck him as rather singular
that no intimation had been conveyed to Major Beniowski or
his attorney by the opposite parties, and this surprise Was
the greater, for the affidavit of the solicitor stated that be
had called upon Major Beniowski with the result of his in;
quiries at the Court on Tuesday evening. He (the Learned
Judge) had ordered that information should be conveyed tSP,
the defendant and his solicitor as to postponing the case, 11;
no application was made to the contrary by the defendant,
before this day, but if the attorney had made an application
to the Court directly on Tuesday evening, instead of inquir-
ing of one of the officers of the Court, no misapprehension
would have arisen. He could not think of granting an ap-
plication allowing a charge like this to stand over from the
26th of March to the let of June, it must be taken at solo°
more immediate sitting, and it had been already ordered to
come on on the Bth of April.
Mr. BALLANTINE thought when his client had been in at,
tendance for two sessions ready to take his trial, it was most
unfair to postpone it. lie (Mr. Ballantine) should not be
able to be present on Thursday, so that Major BenioWehi
will have to defend himself on that day.
The ASSISTANT•JUDGE—WeII, then, let it come on on
the 22d.

Major Beniowski, who occupied a seat behind his counsel,
said, " No, 1:0, no, my Lord, that day would not at all
suit me."

The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—The case must stand, as previ•
ousiy arranged, for the Bth of April.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before J. W. FRESIIFIRLD, Esq., and a Bench of
Magistrates.)
John Clements, a respectable-looking man, was indicted,
for feloniously stealing rive hundred bricks, the property of
Thomas Morris, at St. Giles's, Camberwell.
Prosecutor said, that on the 12th of February last he pur-
chased twenty loads of brick of Mr. Parry, brickmaker, of
Peckham, and employed the prisoner to cart them. On the
day in question the prisoner only delivered twenty loads, el-
though he was charged for twenty-one. On Sunday after-
noon, the 14th, he went with a police-constable to search
after the prisoner, who said, when they met him, "I suppose
you have been waiting for me about those bricks. It is a bad
job, but I have the money in my pocket to pay you for thew,
sooner than have any bother about it." 'Witness said he
could not think of compromising the felony.
In cross-examination by Mr. Robinson, prosecutor laid
that he had knOTP4 the prigeaer several years and intendsi

SIOSELEY V. ALSTEN.—THE OXFORD AND BIRMIIiGHAS
RAILWAY.
The application on behalf of the plaintiff for an injunction
iu this case was specially fixed to-day for Wednesday next.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRASL)
AGLE V. HANSARD.
This cause turned upon the question as to whether a or
verance of interest had taken place in certain properties
stfi
which Messrs. Luke Hansard and Luke Graves Hansard h
become entitled under the will of their father. It appAS
that the testator left the premises, where he carried on base
ness, as well as the implements necessary for a publishill
office, to his two sons, together with certain leasehold an
°
personal property. which was to be divided in equal pare
between them. The brothers carried on the same business la
their father till the death of Luke Graves Hansard. A short
time prior to the last event it was alleged, on the part of thi
plaintiff, that a severance had been effected in the tensonYni
the property between the parties.
All the facts have already appeared in this journal.
His HONOUR delivered judgment to-day, and decreed that
the severance had been agreed to as to stock, and that there
had been a tenancy in common, except as regards the Gates-
head property.
On the application cf Mr. ROMILLY, the case was directed
to be put in the paper on Wednesday next.

In this case the bankrupt had carried on business as a
builder, and in March last came up for his certificate which
was then adjourned for three years.
The bankrupt's solicitor now applied to his Honour to in-
duce him to re-open his decision under peculiar circum-
stances. He said his Honour in giving judgment bad
stated that he should adjourn the certificate for three
years, one on the opposition of Mr. King, a
judgment creditor, and two at the instance of the
assignees. Since then, however, they had been indicted for
perjury, on the affidavit of debt on which the bankrupt had
been arrested. He had, however, removed the case from the
Sessions to the Court of Queen's Bench, and had also ap-
plied for a special jury. The consequence was, that twelve
months had expired, and it was not likely that the trial
would come on till Michaelmas Term. Under thosecireufm;
stances, and as the bankrupt had already been in prison
twelve months at the suit of King,
he hoped his Honour
would alter his decision.
His Howoua said he had no power after having once
given his judgment—perhaps he might not have suspended
the certificate for such a length of time if he had known that
the bankrupt would have been imprisoned. fie must refuse
the application.
