LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

ROLLS COURT, April l 3
LATOUR V. HOLCOMBE.
Mr. PALMER, on the part of the assignees of the
plaintiff, moved for an order to dismiss the bill with
costs. It appeared that the plaintiff (Colonel Latour)
became bankrupt, and his estate was sold by his as- •
signees to the defendant. The plaintiff filed a bill, to
which the d. f.aidant demurred, which was dismissed,
and the plaintiff had been in prison since for the costs of
that suit.
Mr. KINDERSLEY (who, with Mr. Hilderton, appeared
for the plaintiff.) stated that his client had been very
badly treated by his assignees. and that the Vice-
Chancellor. before whom the former cause was heard,
had expressed a very strong opinion in favour of the
plaintiff's case, supposing the allegations in his bill were
substantiated. His client had every hope, in the course
of a month or six weeks, of being able to raise the funds
requisite to discharge the costs for which he was detained.
His LORDSHIP (at the conclusion of the arguments)
said that the plaintiff was no doubt entitled to the
protection of the Court on a motion for the dismissal of
a bill with costs. At the same time, nothing should be
done to the derogation of the rights of the defendants,
who had performed their duty in reference to the pro-
ceedings before the Court. Before the plaintiff became
entitled to the delay which he sought for he should make
out a reasonable cause for the interference of the Court
on his behalf. He did not think that such a case had
been made in the present instance, and he would grant
the injunction.
SAUNDERSON V. THE COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON
RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the
defendants from opening their line, under the following
circumstances:—The railway passed through a portion
of the plaintiff's property, and by a contract of the 2d of
March, 1846. the defendants agreed to afford a suitable
accommodation for the plaintiff's cattle. This they pro-
posed to do by a tunnel under the railway, with
which the Plaintiff was dissatisfied, and insisted
upon their erecting a bridge or giving him a compensa-
non of 250/. The defendants roused to accede to his
demand, but offered him 1001., and the plaintiff instituted
the proceedings.
It was contended, on the part of the defendants, that
the very terms of the contract, "slips for cattle," showed
that it was not expected by the plaintiff that they should
erect the bridge in question •, that he should have sought
redress from the justices of peace at quarter sessions
before applying to the court; that it would be almost im-
practicable, consistent with the purposes of the railway,
to make the bridge in question, and that the defendant
should have instituted this suit before, and not have de-
layed till the completion of the line.
Mr. Kindersley and another Learned Gentleman ap-
peared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Turner and Mr.
Matins tor the defendants.
The arguments in this case, which were commenced
before the hoilays, were resumed end concluded to-day.
His LORDSHIP directed the case to stand over, both
parties having intimated their readiness to accede to the
iirection of the Court, as to the manner in which the
contract should be specifically performed.

HUMANITY, &c., OF THE INHABITANTS OF ST.
KILDA.
Stanhope-street, Hyde Park-gardens, April 14, 1847.
Sir,--11.-
s attention has been drawn to a paragraph in the
morning papers of last Monday, which states that a letter
has been received by you from Stornaway, setting forth the
merit of the inhabitants of St. Kilda in affording aid and
protection to shipwrecked mariners, and also intimating an
apprehension that those islanders may at present be suffering
extreme distress in consequence of the failure of the potato
crop.
1 know something of the people of St. Kilda, and consider
them fully entitled to the credit given to them by your cor-
respondent, for humane and hospitable conduct towards all
who have at any titne been cast upon their shore. My ob-
ject, however, in addressing ynu is not to support any claim
which he may on that ground have advanced on their be-
half, but to assure you that they are not neglected and in the
destitute condition which he imagines, and that no fear need
be entertained for their safety, winch is insured by measures
taken for that purpose by the proprietors of the island.—l
have the honour to be, &c.
W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyds.
LOSS OF THE TWEED.
It is understood to be the intention of the Committee of
Lloyd's, with reference to the noble and disinterested conduct
of Captain Camp, of the Spanish brig Emilio, in rescuing
the survivors of the crew and passengers of the Tweed
steamer, to recommend to the subscribers in general meeting,
to bestow upon him the honorary medal of the establishment
in silver; and to Don Vila Verde, his mate, the honorary
medal in bronze; and a suns of money to the crew of the
Emilio, as a mark of their approbation of the heroic and
generous conduct displayed by those persons on the occasion
of the wreck of the Tweed steamer.
RELATING TO THE NEW PINK.
A dispatch had been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign..
office, announcing that the New Pink, from London to
Valparaiso, having foundered. after striking on the sunken
rock of Sopocalnia, 22d Nov., 1846. Crew landed at St.
Domingo.

COURT OF QUE.RIV'S BitIVCH. Aprills
(Sittings in Bunco, bt-fore Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.)

THE QUEEN V. ADAMS.

Mr. LUSH moved for a writ 01 habeas corpus to bring
up the bodies of two elderly females, who had bean con-
fined in Whitecross-street Prison, and also applied for
their discharge, as they had been in prison since 1844.
They had pleaded guilty to an indictment, and he pro.
se. utor had refused to pray the judgment of the Court
upon them, and the constqueni.e was that they bad been
tetained in custody ever since, and had been maintained
at a considerable expense to the justict s.
Mr. PEACOCK, on behalf of the prosecutor, said that
;he dekndant3 were committed on a former cccasion for
contempt tire, urt, and the) had since repeated the libel.
Lord DENMAN, after making some inquiries, said they
had nut Le. n committed for contempt, but merely on the
indictment for a libel.
Mr. PEACOCK applied to t' e Court for time to allow
the prosecutor v, put in some affidavit' before the parties
were brought up for judgment.
Lord DENMAN —We cannot keep them in prison to
please your client. If they repeat the libel you can have
them punished again, but as they have been so long con-
fined I think that they had better be brought up.

Mr. Lusu said that the parties were present.
Lord DEsmart—'then let them come forward.
Miss Frances Adams and Miss Mary Anne Susannah
Adams were then brought forward.
Lord DENMAN—You are now brought up for judg-
ment for a most serious offence, on which you have al-
lowed judgment to go by default. You have been in
custody for a very long period, and the Court thinks that
punishment enough. Ihe judgment of the Court is that
you each pay a fine of . one shilling to the Queen, ano
enter into your own recognizances in 100/. each to be of
good behaviour for the next two years.
The Remembrancer then proceeded to read the form
of recognizance, and said—You and each of you owe
to our sovereign lady the Queen the sum of 1001.
Miss Mary Anne—We owe 1001.? How do we owe
the Queen 100/? We do not owe her a shilling.
The COURT —4l'OU must pay her a fine of a shilling.
Miss Frances Adams—Pay her a shilling!—no, nor a
penny.
Lord DENMAN—You must not repeat the offence; that
is ali you bind ourselves to.
The two ladies at oncx--I'Ve have n ever. misbehaved
•
ourselves—the villain.
Lord DENMAN—You must not use such an
,age.
The Remembrancer (showing the form o
erecogni-
zance)—Read this.

Miss Frances Adams—Oh, won't we though ? Yes
we will.—(Laughter.)
The R .membraticer having read the form of recog-
nizance, an attempt was made to remove the ladies.
Ti3eir removal was, however, a matter of much difficulty,
for one fastened on the Solicitor-General, while the
other firmly grasped the Attorney General. The usher
of the Court attempted to remove them, but without
success for some time, until the assistai,ce of the police
was called in, when the ladies were taken out amidst
shouts of laughter, in which the Bench joined.

the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict returned in
In this csse Mr. Martin obtained a rule, calling upon
their favour should not be reduced to such a sum as the
Court should think fit, upon consideration of the
circumatat ces. The action was tried before
Baron Rolfe, at Liverpool, the declaration
being a plevin to recover a large sum of
money which the plaintiffs alleged bad been wrongfully
&strained by their landlords, the defendants. The pre-
mises were taken for a term of fourteen years, to be
computed from the 24th of June, 1845, the rent being
1,4651. per annum during each of the first three years,
and 1,2601. per annum during each year of the remainder
of the term. According to the lease, the rent became
due and payable in a particular manner, the con-
sideration of which gave rise to a question whether
the money paid by the plaintiffs was rent pro-
perly so called, or merely a gross sum on account.
Accordingly, tb• first plea in bar traversed the tenancy,
and the second denied that at the time of distress any
part of the rent mentioned in the plaintiff's first avowry
was in arrear. _ _

On the first part of the case the Court granted a rule
for the reduction of damages to 1,462/. 1 le. 4d.
The Court rose at a half-past three o'clock.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
GRIFFITHS V. EALES.
The plaintiff in this action is a carver and gilder, and
the defendant is a gentleman residing in Camden.grove,
Westbourne•green. The action was brought to recover
the sum of 151. for goods sold and delivered.
From the evidence on the part of the plaintiff it
was shown that the defendant ordered a chimney glass,
but on its being taken home defendant complained that
there were imperfections in the frame, and said he could
not receive it unless it was repaired. This was done,
but when it was taken back again the defendant re-
fused to take it.
Mr. FISH, on behalf of the defendant, contended that
this %at no delivery, and, therefore, that the present
acti TA could not be maintained.

Canada and the United States of the Ist instant, had

POLICr, LIST66-LtbrENCE.
BOW-STREET.
William Grayburn, who was ex Anined on a charge of
forgery a tew days back by altering an 81. cheque to 80/.
with intent to det'taud Messrs. Coutts, was brought up
for final examination, and after the evidence was com
pleted, there being no other case against him, he was
fully committed to Newgate for trial.
Richard Ma, tin alias Aubrey, a young man of fashion-
able appearance, was placed at the bar, charged with
stealing a coat from Mr. James Ralph, 150, Strand,
and with obtaining goods from several tradesmen by
false represer tations.
Mr. Everill, on behalf of the London Association for
the Protection of Trade, appeared for the several
members who bad been swindled by the prisoner and
his associates.
It appeared that the prisoner selected a coat, values!
81., at the shop of prosecutor. and a messenger being
sent with him to the Albany, in Piccadilly, where he
said he occupi-d chambers, he contrived to possess him—
self of it, and escaped by a back door. (in being ap•
prehended on the 29th of March at his lodgings, 34.
Walcot-square, by Thornton and Whitaker, the detective
officers, the coat was found, with a vast quantity of
property belonging to other tradesmen.
The prisoner said he would reserve his defence, and
he was fully committed for trial.
The prisoner was again charged with felony under
the following circumstances:—
Mr. Buckingham, 14. Baker street, Portman-square
hosier and gl,ver, stated that on the 18th March the
prisoner called at his shop, and having I, eked out a
variety of articles, which amounted to 111 14s.
directed them to be sent by seven o'clock in the evenine
precisely to Mr. B milord Cooper, 3, Avenue-road, Re
gent's•park, the rame and address which he gave of
himself, with the understanding that the goods should
be paid ter on delivery; in consequence of which they
were packed up, but there being something sanicious
in the circumstance he gave instructions to his assistant
not to leave them without the money.
George Clarke. assistant to the last witness, stated
that he took the articles, as he was directed, and on
arriving at the house the prisoner came in after him at
r the gate, and said, " You have brouv,ht these things for
me,' to which witness replied, "Yes," at the same time
giving him the bill, which he asked for. They had got
to the front doer, which was opened by a boy, and the
prisoner desired him to walk in. but first having got the
parcel in his hand, suddenly darted into a shrubbery a
the side of the house, where he escaped over a gate at the
bottom of the garden. Witness immediately gave an
alarm, and on re urning to the house was informed that
it had been occupied by a clergyman, who had left oniy
a few days previous, and that no such person as the pri-
soner was ever known there.
The prisoner wis committed on this charge also for
trial.

Mr. Everill said in addition to the foregoing cases he
had another charge against the prisoner, who was, there-
fore., ordered to be turther remanded.
CLERKEN WELL.
A young German, named John Pohl, who stated that
he had been resident in this country about five years,
was charged before Mr. Greenwood with making an
attempt to shoot Mr. James Allred Haye, tobacconist, of
34, Red Lion street, Milburn.
Mr. Haye stated that, last night he saw the prisoner
walking up and down before the door of his (witness's)
step, and owing to the prisoner having on several for-
mer occasions swore that he would take his life, he be-
came alerm, d, and previous to closing his shop requested
t et) cons.ables, who were on duty in the neighbourhor d,
to It..ep a c.use watch upon the prisoner while he (Mr.
Haye) was putting up his shutters. Before closing the
shop, Le *toed at the door watching the prisoner, when
he saw him half concealed in the recess of a public-
house door, and evidently observing him most intensely.
As he (Mr. Haye) had put up the first shutter, he heard
the click of a pistol lock, and upon turning round he saw
the prisoner standing at the other side of the street, with
a pistol directed towards him. The two policemen came
up and took the pie.tol from him. It was found to be
loaded, and the hammer was down.
In reply to Mr. Greenwood, the prosecutor stated that
about twelve months ago he was compelled to exhibtt
articles of the peace against the prisoner at the ses.item,
in consequence of which he was kept in prison for nearly
six months.
Poiice constable E 35, produced the pistol which he
took from the prisoner ; it was a brass screw barrel,
and had one of the old flint and steel locks. He also
produced the charge which had been drawn from it, and
instead of a bullet a round stone was placed over the
powder. The prisoner aimed the pistol directly at Mr.
Hayes.
The prisoner said with much emphasis and determina-
tion of manner. " I ant sorry I d.d not shoot him loll;
ago—he knows he has been the ruin of me."
The depositions were then made out, and the prisoner
was fully committed to take his trial on the charge ul
feloniously shooting at Mr. Hayes.

It appeared that a policeman of the M divis.on, while
on duty that twining in the Dover-road, was intormeo

silk, to the value of upwards of 1501., bad been packet
up ready for removal. The quantity of silk disc ,vere,
in the cab was worth upwards of 1001., but the otte
portion was lett behind, it being supposed the thieve

The prisoner said that he was hired by two men of
the stand in Aldersgate-street, to take them to Kent
street, where he was to wait tot them, and they returnee
with a bundle, and, placing it in the cab, desired him
drive to Ilerniondsey Church, and that they would me
