SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
JOSEPHS V. ENGLISH.
The plaintiff in this action is a marine store-dealer in
Aldgate, and a well-known bill discounter; defendant
is a licensed victualler at Hammersmith. The action
was brought to recover the sum of 31. for pewter pots
delivered.
The case lasted a considerable time, but was of, v9ll,
little general importance, the action evidently oeinb
for " costs." It appeared by the evidence that
the goods were taken to plaintiff, who (hi'
puted the price., and refused to take them in.
Plaintiff then told a man named Bolton to
take the money and give a receipt• on a subsequent day,
he did so, but the writ had been issued. Defendant
wished the affair to he settled, and paid Bolton and took
his receipt. The question was, had Bolton, in taking
the money, acted as agent for plaintiff or defendant. 11°
appeared to be now in the position of a stake-holder.
The Learned SECONDARY said there had been a great
deal of legal acuteness in the affair, but the jury bad
simply to say whether the money had been paid by de-
fendant to an authorised agent.
Verdict for defendant.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY-)
Edward Cannan, a potboy, in the employ of Mr. C.
Payne, of the Feathers Tavern, Warren-street, Fitzroy-
square, was brought before Mr. Hardwicke,
charged
with stealing a silver watch, gold chain, two coats, one
pair of trousers, one satin scarf, one silk handkerchief,
and three sovereigns, the property of Mr. Thomas Big'
nell; also a pair of boots, the property of his master.
The prosecutor stated' that he was lodging in Mrti
Payne's house. The prisoner was the pOtllliint
was in the habit of calling witness every morn-
ing. On Friday morning last witness was aroused
from his sleep by hearing a noise at his bed-
room door. Ile got out of bed and looked at his
watch, which was lying on the dressing table. At that
time it was about half-past four o'clock. Witness find-
ing that the noise was not repeated, retired to bed again,
and slept till about six o'clock when he
got up and pro-
ceeded to dress himself. On looking on the table for
his watch he was surprised to find that some person bad
entered his room and stole it. Witness then looked for
his clothes, which he had worn on the previous day, but
could not find them; on a further search he missed the
articles named in the charge, the whole of which be had
seen safe when he awoke at four o'clock. From infor-
mation he subsequently received from the prisoner s
fellow-servant, witness was induced to give him
into
custody.
Lucy Scarlett said she was housemaid in the service
of Mr. Payne. On Friday morning last, witness an
d
the prisoner were at breakfast in the kitchen. Witness;
said to the prisoner that she was sorry for Mr. Bignell s
loss. The prisoner replied, " What's the odds, he,s,all
plenty more money, and can buy more clothes." "73"
ness fancied by the prisoner's remarks that he knew
something about the robbery, but did not tell any one of
her suspicions at the time. Oa Monday, the prisoner
told her that he would run away, only he was afraid his s
master would think be had committed the robbery.
subsequently told her that he could tell his master some'
thing more, if he would be civil to him. She then in-
formed Mr. Bignell of her suspicions against the prisoner.
Police-constable Read, 108 E, said he received charge
of the prisoner. He searched him at the station, but did
not find anything upon him that would give a
clue t?
the robbery. Witness had since made inquiries, eed
found that the prisoner had been seen in conversationli
with a man who is well known to be a notorious bad cha-
racter. This man was heard to say to the prise
honer,
ad
" that he make one f the bery.
also ascertainedwould that the manor was arob companion of the
prisoner's, and that since the robbery he had purchased
a new suit of clothes. Witness added that he traced the
man to a coffee-house, where he had offered to leav
duplicate of a watch in payment for a breakfast. If the
prisoner was remanded, he had no doubt but that be
should be able to take that man into custody.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge whateveref
the robbery, was remanded till Saturday.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY')
Robert Raymaur, a pot-boy in the service of Mr. G.
Morgan, of the Plasterers' Arms, Little Clarendon-
street, Clarendon-square, was charged with embeZzling
various sums of money, the property of his master.
It appeared that the prisoner had been some time in
the prosecutor's employment, and Mr. Morgan having
ascertained that the prisoner had embezzled several sum§
of money, gave him into custy
od. At the
ment he had only one case in readiness, that of Mr.
Wood, 84, Seymour-street, Euston-square, from whom
the prisoner received seven shillings and throo-halfpence.
If time were afforded, he had no doubt but he should be
able to establish several charges of a similar character
against him.

—Mr. COMBE said he should remand the prisoner to
to-morrow, but if the prosecutor could get any of his
witnesses to attend before the closing of the court this
evening, their evidence would taken.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
Ann Callaghan and Mary Bryant, the former with
two young children, and the latter with four, were
charged with creating a disturbance at the doors of St.
Saviour's Workhouse.
The porter stated that at ten o'clock last night, the
prisoners, with their children, applied for admission into
the house; the casual ward and every portion of the
house being crowded, they were supplied with food, and
told to go elsewhere. They commenced abusing him, and
created such a disturbance that he was compelled to give
them into custody.
In reply to Mr. SECKER, the prisoners said they came
from Roscommon, and were compelled to quit their
homes owing to the fever which prevailed there.
Mr. SECKER-It appears you are married—what has
become of your husbands? They replied that their
husbands promised to meet them in London, but they
had not as yet come; and added that if they knew
what they would have had to undergo here they would
have remained in Ireland, and run the risk of the fever.
Mr. SECKER said, the defendants were told the work-
house was full, and they ought to have gone elsewhere
instead of creating a disturbance there. He, however,
should not punish them this time, but allow them to
make the best of their way to the country, where they
might be able to obtain some employment at haymaking.
The prisoners were accordingly discharged.

Some time ago, Mr. Lawson, proprietor of the
Hotel Bedford, Rue St. Honors, 323, but who has now
a splendid hotel in the Rue de l'Arcade, obtained a.
verdict, with B,ooof. damages, against M. Bavoux
his landlord, for having caused several adver-
tisements to be inserted in Galignani's Messenger,
stating that the Hotel Bedford was to be let, though,
in point of fact, Mr. Lawson's lease did not expire
until some months afterwards. The damages were
awarded because the court held that the Hotel Bedford
was the property of Mr. Lawson, though the house in
which the business of the establishment was carried on
belonged to M. Bavoux. Au appeal having been made
against the decision by M. Bavoux, the case came on for
argument on Saturday before the Cour Royale.
Bavoux's advocate set forth that Mr. Lawson would not
renew his lease of the house No. 323, Rue St. Honore, be-
cause M. Bavoux demanded 40,000 f. a year, instead of
25,000 f. that had been previously paid; but he denied that
in causing the advertisements to be inserted, M. Bavoux
had intended to do any injury to that gentleman. The
advocate of Mr. Lawson, on the contrary, contended
that the advertisement had done him injury by causing
people not to go to the hotel, under the belief that be
had retired from business, and produced letters in proof
of his statement, The court took this view of the
matter, and confirmed the judgment in favour of Mr.
Lawson.—Galignani.
We read in the Gazette des Tribunaux .—" It is
the usage of Parisien tradesmen to address to all persons
whose banns of marriage are officially published prose
pectuses and circulars, containing offers of merchandise
of all descriptions, from the humblest article of house-
hold furniture up to carriages and diamonds. A brace
of clever swindlers have just contrived to take advantage
of this custom to make a great many victims. A short
time since a notice was published at one of the dairies
of the marriage of the Vicomte Adrian de with
the. Countess Hermingarde de K—, and the same nOv
tice was repeated in the church by the Cure of the lady's
parish. Immediately the Parisien tradesmen obtained
the addresses of the bridegroom and bride, and pressed
on them their offers of service. The Viscount lived
in a
splendid apartment in the Rue de Provence, and the fair
Countess occupied an apartment in a hotel of the Fau-
bourg St. Germain, where she was under the tender care
of an affectionate mother. After a great many entree•
ties the Viscount graciously consented to purchase
is
splendid set of diamonds and a silver table service from
tradesmen in the Palais Royal and the Place Vendome;
from other persons he accepted five horses, a coup& one
of the carriages called Americaines, household and pe-
sonal linen, a complete wardrobe for himself and his
domestic, and a splendid corbeille fur his bride. The lady,
on her part also made several very extensive purchases.
Neither, however, undertook to pay before the conclu-
sion of the marriage, the Viscount pleading that, having
only a paltry income of 20,000 fr., he first required to
finger the 1,000,000 tr. fortune of his future wife, and the
300,000 fr. which his parents were to advance him, to-
wards the expense of setting up an establishment. Bills,
however, were offered and accepted. A few days after
the tradesmen were much surprised to discover that the
Viscount and the Countess, and the mamma of the
Countess, had all vanished. Inquiries having been set
on foot, it was discovered that the Viscount is a Greek,
who had been expulsed from a watering-place for cheat-
ing at cards, and that the Countess is a simple actress,
and was lately engaged at the Theatre des Varie
The worthy couple are, it is believed, at Baden-Baden
or Homburg."
FALL OF A GRAIN LOFT.—Some days ago one of
the lofts of a granary at Craigie gave way, and fell to
the ground floor, with all its accumulated treasures, In
one promiscuous uproar. We believe more granaries
throughout the country have fallen within the last six
months than during the previous sixty years—certainly
no proof of the scarcity so loudly asserted to exist in
the land.—Perth Advertiser.
The late Duke of Northumberland expended the
sum of ao,ooot. a year, in annuities and pensions.
