LAW IN TELLIGEN CE.
SECONDARIES' COUR7', May 21.
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMIE.)
WANT 1. ATKINSON.

This was an action on a bill of exchange for 11/. ss. The
plaintiff is a builder at St. Pancras, and the defendant is a
tradesman at the same place.
The defendant pleaded that he had accepted the bill for
the accommodation of one tymith, who had endorsed it to the
plaintiff without consideration.
Mr. Wallis, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, was called,
and proved having had a conversation with the defendant,
who said that he had hada great many bill transactions with
Smith, and that the one in question was partly fur a debt
and partly for accommodation.
Mr. RYLAND, whu appeared for the defendant, said the
defendant was in rather a d fficult situation, in consequence
of the conduct of Smith, who had been ins rumental in
causing this defence, as he had stated to dete dant that he
had givtn it to the [lniiititf by way of accommodation, and
that the latter was quite aware that it was au accommodation
bill. Since th-n, however, be had altered his story; but tie
would be put into toe w;ibess-box, sz, that ulterior procee,.l-
- might be taken it nece,sary.
Smite was then ended on his übpcena, but did Hot appear.
A verdict was, theien,re, given for plaintiff.

BLOOMSBURY Y t'OURT, May 21.
(Beiore 1). D. HEATu, Esq.)
LETT V. BARTON.
In this case a groom appeared as defendant.
Solicitor (fur plaintiff)--'lhis, my Lord, is an acti. n for
the recovery of tenancy; the defendant was summoned at
the Oid County Court. and was ordered, by Mr. Dubois, to
pay a certain sum of rent, and in reply to the Judge's order
for payment he said, " 1 wish you may get."
The defendant (growling)—Well, ain't you bad the money
since?
Plaintiff— No.
Defendant—Then you've got it to git, and I wish you
may.—(Laughter.)
The broker who had destrained upon Mr. Barton entered
the witness box, when he was interrupted by the
Defendant—There's a specimen of a broker. Don't be look
a beauty—looks for all the world as if he lived upon pump-
water and blue bottles.
The JUDGE—Silence, sir, or I shall order you out of court.
The defendant then made a most insulting attack upon the
plaintiff and the whole of the witnesses, and abused the soli-
citor. It was in vain that he was remonstrated with on his
conduct. He still continued his abusive language. At
length the Judge interrupted him by saying, silence, or I
shall commit yuu for contempt of Court.
Defendant—l do commit the Coutt, and the lot of them in
contempt.
The JUDGE, being unable to reason with the defendant, or
check his offensive remarks, committed him for contempt of
Court.

COURT OF EXCISE, May 21.
(Before T. HARRISON, Esq., H. F. STEPHENSON, Esq.,

and OlenLis Rose, E.q.)

Thomas Connor, of No. 22, Wilk-street, Spitalfields,
was charged with having in his possession an illicit still.
'Air—Hughes, an officer of Excise, proved finding a
still fitted up at the top of the house named in the infor-
mation, with a quantity of molasses wash, and the usual
utensils for distillation, which he seized, and conveyed
the same to this office.
The defendant said he knew nothing whatever of the
business that wascarried on, nor were the premises in his
occupation. He let them to a person some time ago,
who regularly paid him rent for them, and he produced
the rent-book, with the sums entered that he received
from the occupier.
The COURT inquired why he did not bring his lodger
with him? The defendant replied, that he did not know
where to find him. For himself, he was but a weaver,
and could bring a character from his employer, with
whom he had been for the last five or six years.
The COURT gave judgment in the penalty of 501., and
condemned the seizure.
John Wilson, a seaman,
employed on board the Vic-
toria, Leith steamer, was charged with attempting to
remove a quantity of spirits, with intent to defraud her
Majesty of the duty thereon.
The COURT gava judgment in the penalty of 251., and
condemned the spirits. ' •
Thomas Curtis, of the Waterloo-road, coffee.shop.
keeper, was convicted in the penalty of 75/, for retailing
spirits and beer without a liceusei

met to-day.

EAST LANCASHIRE (SOUTHPORT BRANCH
AND PRESTON EXTENSION).

Mr. BRANDT having briefly opened the case for the pro-
moters of the Bill, the following evidence was adduced :
Mr. Ascroff, a solicitor, was examined, and stated that be
thought a deviation of the line would be injurious. He
could not tell whether this line of railway would or would
not affect injuriously a considerable portion of Mr. Norris's
property, as he did not know the extent of that property.
Mr. Manchester, of Preston, examined—Was acquainted
with the present station, which was much crowded, and he
had no doubt that improved accommodation for traffic was
required in the neighbourhood. It would be of great advan-
tage to the public to have the direct line to Liverpool.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—He thought the con-
fusion which he spoke of at the present station could not
be remedied merely by an increase of its area.
Mr. Rintler, an innkeeper, resident three and a half miles
from Preston, was examined, and corroborated the testimony
of the preceding witnesses, having experienced much incon-
venience at the present station at Preston.
Some further evidence on this point was adduced, when the
Committee decided that they had heard enough.
Mr. CALVERT addressed the Committee on the part of the
opponents of the Bill, and some evidence was adduced in their
behalf to prove residential injury.

IMPROVEMENTS OF LONDON.

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know from the
Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests,
whether it was the intention of the Government to carry
the improvements in London known as New Coventry••
street on towards Covent-garden ? He understood that
his Grace the Duke of Bedford, who owned property in
that quarter of the metropolis, had offered the muni-
ficent sum of 13,0001. towards effecting these improve-
ments.

Lord MORPETH said that he exceedingly regretted
that the state of the public finances would preclude any
possibility of the Government bringing in a Bill in this
session of Parliament for that purpose ; they would,
therefcre, be unable at present to accept of his Grace
the Duke of Bedford's liberality, but he trusted that
in another session of Parliament some steps would be
taken to accomplish this great and much needed im-
provement.

from some authentic source what the real opinion
of the Duke of Wellington was upon this subject,
because if his Grace were averse to the removal of the
statue from its present pedestal, he (Lord John Russell)
should nut propose the vote in supply which he might
otherwise do, her Majesty having declared her desire, in
that case, to allow the statue to remain as at present.
Lord G. BENTINCK had nothing to say, but at once

THE EARL OF HARDW
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
must COX rest a statement in your leading
article of this day, wherein you assert, on the alleged
authority of the MO al historian James, that the Earl of
Hardwicke was one of two out of thirteen midshipmen
missing in the saute berth, on board the Leander at
Algiers, who escaped being killed or severely wounded.
Now the fact is that his Lordship did not belowg to the
Leander at the time of the memorable battle alluded to,
but to Lord Ex mouth's flag-ship the Queen Charlotte.
He commanded a gun-boat, which he gallantly placed in
an exposed situation, nearly under the bows of the
' Leander, when! he did good service ; but was only
removed into the Leander after her return to England,
and in her he 1 yoceeded to the Halifax station. I was
second lieutenant of the Leander during the battle and
for about a year ?afterwards, and can therefore vouch for
these facts as correct.—l am, Sir, &c.,

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1847.

Preliminary to a dissolution of Parliament, as
anterior to the dispersion of almost every
public assembly, there is visible that agreeable
abandon which is indicative of the anticipated
pleasure of an approaching vacation. The legis-
lative campaign is just terminating. Some
of the difficulties of the session have been conquered,
many of them have been evaded, the vast majority of
them have fallen harmlessly by reason of partial con-
cessions, or the assurances of their ultimate removal.
Having, in a great measure, competed with the fame
of HANNIBAL in overleaping the Alps, and still more
with the fame of NAPOLEON in turning the Alps, the
popular representatives seem disposed to indulge
themselves with the taste of a few pungent and bitter
personalities.

is no Administration, however niggardly in character,

The Parliamentary session of 1847 promises to end.
In a somewhat similar manner, but without the re-

mishes of Mr. IksiE's career there are the
palliatives of honesty and plain-speaking. By

Immediately upon the appearance of the Gazette
Extraord; wiry of the Ist of June, within twenty-four
hours, indeed, after its publication, we protested
ag -sinst the insufficiency of the proposed distribution
of n.lilitary and naval decorations. Nor did we content
ourse.lves, moreover,with a merely general expression
of diss satisfaction at the abbreviation of official muni-
ficence within the interval between 1793 and 1815
inclusive Iy. We proceeded further—we particu-
larised the immortal glory achieved by British valour
at the bombardment of Algiers and at the battle of
11"arino. We maintained that some mark of dis-
tinction from the SOVEREIGN had been well and gal-
lantly earned by the brave fellows who had fought in
those
rtenowned engagements.

unrewarded; and the rernonstrlnce as toAthe ineffi

scribed as a clerk in an office, was indicted for a burglary

able pawnbroker, in Goswell-street, St. Luke's, and steal-
ing therein six gold chains, value 201. and upwards, and

tence was transportation for ten years.
