EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY

When sitting at Guildhall this Court occupies thc.
old King's B.:nch Court, wherein neither the Judge,
the bar, jurymen, or any one baying business in the
sane can be at all accornodated.
At the sitting of the Court this morning,
Lord ABINGER, addressing the bar and the jury said
—I have often received promises from persons repre-
senting the city architect that something should be
lone to improve this Court, but they have hitherto
proved unavailing. It is a most inconvenient Court,
and is neither properly warmed or ventilated, and is
most inconvenient, not only to the Bar, but to jurymen
and witnesses in waiting.
A Juryman in the box said the observations of the
Learned Judge woe most just. Besides the incon-
venience of the improper ventilation, it had frequently
been his lot to be compelled to stand for four hours and
upwards, waiting to be called.
Lord ABINGEft—I have often received promises that
the matter should be attended to, and the inconvenience
remedied. If 1 had any power in the matter, some im-
provements would be made before the next sittings. 1
have suggested a simple mode of making it a good and
convenient Court, but hitherto without effect. I the
more wonder at it, too, as I remember a gentleman be-
longing to the Corporation being in attendance as a
Juryman—he felt the inconvenience, and promised
that he would mention the matter to the Court of Corn-
m..al Council. I trust something will soon be done.

BROOKER V. FIELD.
Sir F. POLLOCK (with whom was Mr. Warren)
stated the case to the Jury. It was a case wherein
the plaintiff sought to recover damages for false impri-
sonment. Sometime in August last, upon some trum-
pery charge of stealing a cat, or Larbouring it, knowing,
it to have been stolen, ho was given in charge to the po-

lice, his house searched, his paper rummaged, and some
taken away, himself taken in custody through the
streets exposed as a felon to the gaze of his
neighbours, charged as such at the bar of e
police court, where he was held to bail, and finally
discharged. For this gross and outrageous breach
of lits . betty, tue plaintiff now sought reparation at the
hands of a jury of his countrymen, and he trusted the
damages would be ample. Although the act of giving
the plaintiff into custody was done by Mrs. Field, still
the husband was liable for the acts of the wife.
Proof of the custody having been given, it appeared
chat it did not altogether exceed an hour. It also ap-
peared that the plaintiff, who was now a corn chand-
ler in Shoreditch, had been in the police under the
name of William Smith, and was discharged for being
drunk.

Mr. WPIATELEY (w:th whom was Mr. Chambers,)
addressed the Jury for the defendant. He said Mrs.
Field was possessed of a very ealuah!e black and
white cat, which was without the usual canduai
appendage, a tail ; it was of the Maux breed, and
scarce. She lost it in the latter end of June.
and offered a reward of ten shillings for it through
the medium of the newspapers. On the 30:11 9f June
she received a letter by post, signed A. C., acknow-
ledgiog the advertisement.. Among other pa- sages the
letter contained these :—" The cat is very well, but
seems pining, as if he had lost one who petted him
much, or like a Christian' who had lost a dear friend.—
(Laughter.) It appears in my cage like a gentleman
who had seen better days—l suppose caused by his
fare, it is not so good as it used to be, for he has to
fare hardly, along with me and my family." And it
went on to demand more money for its return than the
reward offered. The answer was to be addressed to
A. C., at Mr. Seeley's, Mary lebone. On the 3d July
the defendant received another letter, in which A. C.
said, " I am sorry to say that the cat has not been so
well these two days, but is rather better to-night ; had
it died, I would have given you notice, although I may
be as great a blackguard as Mr. Field calls me. You
say you can give no more than 10s., because you may
get another from the same mother. That may be, but
it will not be this one. I have a wife, but 1 would not
like to change her for one of her sisters.—(Loud
laughter.) The cat does everything but talk. I can
see how it has been petted by its ways ; it. often gets
upon my shoulders and purrs all over my face, and is
always very pleased to get into bed with me. You
will know whether this is your cat's character." Another
letter was received on the 3d of August, saying that
the writer would not give up the cat under 41. ; he con-
sidered it worth 501., and it he was a gentleman he
would not part with him for that money. This was in-
closed to Mr. Field, under cover to Miss Green, and in
the envelope he said, " This is not a love-letter, so you
may deliver it without fear. It contains more truth
than one of that stamp, and is important." Another
letter was written, saying that the cat would be
found at Brooker's, in Shoreditch. Mrs. Field went to
a magistrate, who sent a policeman to the plaintiff's,
who then denied all knowledge of the cat,
and said he had never seen it ; she then
gave him into custody, and in a pocket book upon
him was found a book in which were two paragraphs
which appeared to be questions to be put to a news-
paper. They ran thus—" If a person detain pro-
perty after it is advertised, because the reward is not
sufficient—what does it amount to ?" " If they cannot
prove how that I came into possession of the thing in
question—if they can prove that the thing in question
was in my possession, and that the letters were io my
handwriting—what can they do ?" He would prove these
facts, and then he trusted that the Jury would find that
it was an attempt to extort money, and find for the de-
fendant.

Evidence of these facts having been led,
1?"` Sir F. PoLLocx replied. The Jury must see that,
however wrong it might be, the plaintiff bed merely lent
himself to a joke to tease the old woman about her cat,
and because of that was an Englishman to have his
liberty invaded, his house searched, and his most private
papers laid open. to the palice and the world, and then
to be used against him at a future time ? He trusted
the Jury would give such temperate damages as would
prove that such acts were not yet- to be done with
impunity. -

His LORDSHIP summed up. Mrs.Treld had not been
warranted in charging the plaintiff with felony, therefore
she was liable, or her husband was liable, for acting
for acting. before being armed with ihe, authority of a
Magiitrate. Supposing it was o'nly,a,,bad joke, the
plaintiff had brought it upon hirnself,, pod was entitled
to merely nominal damages.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages one farthing.

ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN AND

PRINCE ALBERT.

NORTHAMPTON, DEC. 10.—A most important ma-
nifestation of the continue-2. and unabated restlessness
of the " masses" has been exhibited here -during the
present week, and more especially on the occasion of a
public meeting called this, day, to congratulate her
Majesty and Prince Albert, on the birth of an infant
heiress to the throne of these realms.

The Chair was occupied by the Sheriff, THOMAS
ALDERSON COOKIE Esq.
The Address to her Majesty having been moved by
the Marquis of Northampton, and seconded by T.
Thornton, of Brock-hall, E q , the Chair man was about
to put it to the meeting, when, to the surprise of a good
many, no doubt., a working man of the name ot
son rose to propose an addends, praying that h r Ma-
jesty would be graciously phased to extend her Royal
pare in to Messrs. Frost, Williams, and Jones, and all
such others of her Majesty's subjects as might be suf-
fering on account of their political opinions, which was
seconded by another working man of the name of Ran-
scm. After a good deal of confusion, the Address was
ultimately carried by a majority of some eight or ten.
J. MANsELL, Esq., M. P., tires moved a similar
address to Prince Albert, which was seconded by the
Rev Sir G. ROBINSON, B at., when a vote of thanks

was passed to the Chairman, after which the Meeting
broke up.

CHURCH-RATES.

c,-__

BRIDGWATER.—A distraint for Church-rates being
about to be made on seven of the " Friends" in
this town, that body have issued the following Address
to the inhabitants of the borough :
" The members of the Socict of Friends in Bridg-
water believing that there are many of their townsmen
and others who are ignorant of the grounds on which
they refuse to pay Church-rates, tithes, and other ceele-
siasticel demands, and knowing that there are some
who entertain the very errcnrous idea that Quakers
escape altogether from such payments, have thought it
right, at the present juncture, when distraint is about
to be made on thr.ir property for conscientiously re-
fusing to pay the rate recently levied, thus publicly
to state their reasons for such refusal. They feel that
the imposition of the Antichristian yoke of Church-
rates, and the exercise in other ways of the posver be-
stowed by the State upon the Church Establishment—
all which took their rise in the dark ages of apostacy—
are grievances to which they, in common with other
Dissenters, ought not to be subjected. They feel
them to be grievances, because they believe not only
that they do not belong to the Christian religion, but
that they are altogether at variance with it. The
Friends have therefore ever regarded it as a duty en-
joined on them, and they still feel it to be their duty, in
patience and meekness, but with firtnness, to refuse the
payment of all these demands. Our Lord himself de-
clares, " One is your Master, even Christ ; and
all ye are brethren ;" and they believe that
:t is his gracious intention that all his fol-
lowers, without distinction, should live as brethren.
They consider it to be an intericrenee with this Chris-
tian privilege for any class of the community to claim
for themselves the power of putting any restraints upon
the religious liberties of their fellow-men—to attempt
through the State to usurp authority over the con-
sciences of others, either by imposing or upholding pe-
cuniary demands for setting forth the religious opinions
of any one portion of the Christian Church. Tney
seek the removal of these false appendages to the reli-
gion of Christ, simply by the power of truth, and their
resistance thereto arises not from caprice or sullenness,
but from conscientious convictions of their anti-Cluis•
clan na. ore and tendency.
"18.10, 12 ma., 8."

A good many failures have taken place in Glas-
gow within the last few days—two of them of some import-
ance.— Glasgow Chronicle.
GENERAL POST-OFFICE.—The Postmaster-
General has issued an order to increase the facility of trans-
mitting small suns of money through the Post-office, ,by
which, on and after the 14 h instant, branch offices will be
established in various parts of the town, and within the
limits of the twopenny pest, for the receipt and payment
of money.
PoisoNi NG.—England, the woman charged with
having put poison in her husband's broth, was brought up
to the Nottingham Police-office last Tuesday, when, after
the production of some crirninatory evidence, she was com-
mitted to take her trial.
