SECONDARIES.—(TIIIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
BROMLEY AND ANOTHER v. DALY.
This was an action for a breach of covenant under
a mortgage deed.
Mr. WARREN, who appeared on behalf of the
plaintiffs, said that the defendant having suffered
judgment to go by default, it would be only necessary
to put in the deed—the breach was the nonpayment
of the sum of 7,0001. and interest thereon, with 5001.
interest, and 121. 12s. for insurance.

It was not stated who the parties were.
The jury gave a verdict Jor the amount.
PETO AND ANOTHER V. THE BIRMINGHAM AND ON'

FORD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action on covenant. -Tce plaintiff. are
the well-known builders and contrarltors.
The Learned COUNSEL for the plaintiffs said the
claim was for 21,600/. for work and labour performed
on the Birmingham and Oxford line of railway. 13Y
a covenant entered into by the company, they
under-
took to pay the amount of the plaintiff's account fort-
nightly, on production of a certificate from Mr. e
Brunell that the work had been properly perform d:
One month's money was, however, still due ; but all
difficulties in the way of ascertaining the amount was
removed, as the defendants had admitted, under a
judge's order, that they had entered into the
venant stated in the declaration, and that the certifi-
cates had been duly delivered, showing that the
work was of the value charged for.
The Learned SECONDARY thought it would be rota
satisfactory to put the covenant in evidence, and the
jury could give a verdict by default.
This was done, and a verdict given for the shore
amount.

MURRAY AND ANOTHER P. DROWN.
This was an action on covenant. It appeared that
the plaintiffs, together with other gentlemen, were
proprietors of the Radcliffe Colliery, in Northumber-
land, and, with defendant, were also concerned 01
harbour improvements at Warkworth. It having beau
deemed prudent to purchase several vessels t°
convey the coals from the colliery, and also to induce
other vessels to use the harbour, which would hey",,
been very beneficial both to the proprietors of the
colliery and to the harbour, defendant had s large
sum of money deposited with him to purchase se""
vessels, which he did to the satisfaction of his 07-
partners, but as they were purchased in his own nab"
he entered into a covenant with the plaintiff $53,
trustee on behalf of all the partners, that hewwold
only employ the vessels for the use of the collier!,
and at a certain rate of freightage, but notwithstaud.
ing this, he had for some purpose or other, tel'eft
the vessels out of the trade, by which a great loss t°
the colliery had been sustained through not beingr
able to get vessels, the demand being so great I°',
bread stuffs, and also to the prosperity of the harbour,
as other colliers would not go
.in when their ovill
vessels did not trade there.

The defendant admitted the breach, and the quesl
tion was therefore one as to the amout.t of damage;
The evidence as to the voyages, &c., was draggl
on at great length,! but did not possess any point °,
general interest, and was likely to occupy a CO"
siderable time.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
John Phillips, who pleaded Guilty to stealing
quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Joser:
Evans, his fellow-lodger, was sentenced to six months
imprisonment with hard labour.
Henry Williams, aged 16, was indicted for stealing
five pounds' weight of pork, the property cf Thon3°
Slater.
The evidence was clear against the prisoner, an
the jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, ht
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, strange as it wig -
appear, the only thing that could give the prisoner
°(
the slightest chance of doing anything in the v,.59
good would be to transport him. He was one of 00
most incorrigible young vagabonds that had ever
appeared in that Court. The convictions against in°
were almost numberless, while his residence Ival
mostly one of the metropolitan prisons. He bt
been tried with his mother at the Old Bailey.
mother was now dead, and the prisoner's conduct
had been so depraved that his father was compellfaci,t,:
°
turn him into the street. Such being this I.°lll
career the only chance for him was transPortatto
which, however, the jury should understand wvald
not be carried into effect, as he would be sent
nto_
Parkhurst, where he would he taught a trade, al
if at all reclaimable, might be put in the way of ea rfl
ing an honest livelihood eventually.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE then sentenced the prisoaaef
to be transported for seven years.

MARLBROP-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Louisa Adam, a young Frenchwoman, of very pre'
possessing appearance, was brought before .Mr-
Hardwick, charged with stealing several scent bottles
and a fur tippet, the property of Mr. Charles Lei ref
22, Great Castle-street, Regent-street.
The complainant, who stated that he was a W est
Indian, and had lost nearly all his property by -the
emancipation of the slaves, said about three =firths
ago he happened to visit a gay woman in the Qui td-
rant, where he was introduced to the defendant, o,od
after some conversation, consented to take her to h!
lodgings. On arriving there they retired for rho
night, but at five the next morning he was awoke, bf
hearing the defendant groan as if in pain. He iln„#
mediately got up, and observed that she was very 'l"'
and at her request ran for a doctor. The doetor
subsequently came and saw her, and informed cora:
plainant that she was dangerously ill and must 33°:
be removed. He therefore was obliged to keep her .f °t
more than six weeks; at the expiration of which an,.
she got better, when she told him that she had no holl
to go to, nor any other clothes to wear. He furnisitem,
.tier with warm clothes and a fur tippet. Some' e
after he missed the far tippet, and asked her whit. 3
had done with it ? She replied that she had
to get lined with pink silk. He told her that she hr
acted wrong, as the tippet was not paid for, but (:),15
left with him for approval. A day or so e'fter";„.--.s,
he had occasion to leave his residence on burs;-he'
and on his return discovered that she had le" ;,34
home, taking with her the bottles out of his dressLer
case and the fur tippet. He saw nothing more ef in
till last night, when he saw her go into a house so

to the station-house, but did not press the
lamed
against her. On leaving the station, she eomP.s
of being very tired, and he took her to his lodgmg.
to rest herself. She then told him that if he wept
with her to 85, Newman-street, she would Ore bla
his property. He went there with her and weir
some time, when two men came out and turned boll
out of the house. He then got the assistance of two
constables and returned to Newman-street, and gale
her in charge again.
The defendant denied the charge of theft. The
complainant took her to live with him, and gave het
the fur tippet and the scent bottles for her own use.
She left him in consequence of his ill usage.
Mr. Itutnwica. said the complainant had not placed
himself in the most respectable position, inasmuch
as he had taken the female into keeping as his 'ilia..
tress. The defendant denies stealing the property,
and alleges that it was a free gift for her own use and
keeping. As there had been no proof offered to the
contrary, he must discharge her.
The complainant then said he had other charges to
prove against her, amongst which was one of an
famous nature.

__....
Mr._ HeftDwicx' on being informed of the nature
of the case, which was of too disgusting it nature to
mention here said he had nothing to do with 11
other charge 'but the one he had already disposed °,f.
and said the complainant had brought it all on hio3el

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY')
Sylvanus Lyons, a commissLn traveller for a ha.
Moss, chair manufacturer, in the Bethnal-green:
road, was charged with embezzling various sums °I

money.
The prisoner, who had formerly been in the ern'
ployment of Mr. Moss, as a journeyman, had lately
been allowed to sell for him on commission, and it
was his duty to hand over to the prosecutor the
money as soon as he had received it, but it bad been
discovered that he had both received and given is re'
ceipt for the cash in several instances to the full
amount.
Several eases were proved against the prisoner, whO
was remanded to give the officer time for further
inquiry, as it was stated that others of greater niag.•
nitude would most probably be brought against him.

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S SOClET2.—Yesterday after-
noon a quarterly court of the corporation for the relief
of seamen in the merchant service, was held at their

Ashworth applied and had a poor's-rate of threepence
in the pound allowed and assigned, *mounting t°
151. 12s. bid.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—We have been favoured
with the following extract from a letter:—" Graham's
Town, Oct. 23.—The news from Kafirland is very cheer-
ing. The chief Sandilla has surrendered himself; and
we have seen a letter from Captain WLean (official
agent for Pato's tribe), who anticipates that Pato will
do the same as soon as the rivers subside. All the rivers
are just now impassable, from the unprecedented rains.
The frontier is in a finer state than I ever saw it before
so far as the crops and pasture are concerned."
