SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A POLICE CONSTABLE BY THE
LIGHTNING.—This morning, abi,ut half-past one o'clock,
as police-constable 56 L was on duty in the New•cut,
Lambeth, during the violent storm, he was struck wilh
the electric fluid on the left side of his head, which
felled him to the earth. He was instantly picked up by
124 L, who was on duty on the opposite side of the road,
and conveyed to the station•house in a state of insensi-
bility, when it was ascertained that the left side of his
head and several parts of his body were much injured,
so much so that he will not be able to return to his duty
for several days,

CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the old hall, Lincoln's
Inn, to-day, to hear appeals.

BLAIR V. BROMLEY.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgineni to-day in this
case, which was argued before him some time since upon
appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram.
The bill was filed by William Thomas Blair and Thomas
Blair, the executors of the will of the late Thomas Blair,
who died in 1828, and the object of the suit was to
make the defendant, Joseph Warner Bromley, person-
ally answerable for 4,5001., which were remitted by
the plaintiffs in their capacity of executors, to the de-
fendant and his late partner, William Bromley, and re-
ceived by them for the purpose of being invested, but frau-
dulently misappropriated by William Bromley. The
defendant and his brother entered in partnership as soli-
citors, in May, 1820, and continued in that relation, car-
rying on their business or profession in Gray's Inn, until
December, 1834, and, during that period, they kept
their joint banking account with Messrs. Rogers and Co.
The late Thomas Blair, a gentleman of fortune, had for
several years before his death been in the habit of em-
ploying the firm of W. and J. W. Bromley for making
investments, but William was the partner with whom he
was on terms of intimacy, and who attended to his
affairs ; and after the testator's death, his executors,
who resided at Bath, continued in the same manner to
employ the firm, but appear in general to have addressed
themselves to Mr. W. Bromley. By his will the testator
gave his wife a life interest in all his property, and after
her death directed a distribution in certain proportions
among a numerous family of children. his pro-
perty appeared to have consisted princpally of
money lent on mortgage, on one of which a sum
of 14,0001. was due by the late Earl Grey, which
however, was paid off in 1829, and the money
was lodged in the Bank of England, to the separate ac-
count of W. T. Blair, who was the acting executor.
Immediately upon the payment of this money, Mr. W.
T. Blair wrote a letter, dated June 30, 1829, and ad-
dressed to Messrs. Bromley, but beginning with " My
dear Sir," in the singular, and requesting that steps
might be taken to invest the money upon freehold
security. In pursuance of these instructions, it was
arranged that 4,5001., part et the 14,0001., should be lent
to a Mr. Isaac Seabrook ; an abstract of that
gentleman's title to the property which was to be
the subject of the security, was laid before Mr.
Bellenden Ker, the conveyancer, and a draught of
the m)rteage deed was prepared by that gentleman.
Thes papers were indorsed in the usual way, with the
names of W. and J. W. Bromley. William Bromley
then wrote to Mr. W. I'. Blair for a cheque for the
money, and the latter, in a letter dated " Ilfracombe,
29th Seotember, 1829," sent a cheque, dated the Ist Oc-
tober, 1829, drawn on the Bank of England in favour of
Mr. Seabrook or bearer for 4,5001., and crossed with the
name of the bankers of Messrs. Bromley. On the 2d
October the cheque was paid into Messrs. Rogers' bank
to the credit of the joint partnership account of the
Bromleys, and was on the following day cashed by the
Bank of England. Some difficulty, it appears, arose in
the completion of the mortgage, and eventually the ne-
gotiation went off, and the money was never advanced,
but no notice of this was given to Mr. Blair, or to
any other member of the family; on the contrary, they
were led to believe that the money had been invested.
In a letter written to Mr. Blair, in April,
1830, among the several mortgages enumerated as be-
longing to the estate of the testator, the sum of' 4,5001.
was mentioned as advanced to Mr. Seabrook, and in-
terest was regularly paid upon it to Mrs. Blair, the
testator's widow, until the time of her death.
That event occurred in November, 1841, and
the property then became divisible under the will.
Mr. William Bromley, however, represented that there
were difficulties in making the distribution, and advised
the institution of a suit for the administration of the
estate, which was accordingly done, but no money what-
ever was paid on account of the securities from the death
of Mrs. Blair. The suit was manifestly advised by
William Bromley for the purpose of staving off the
necessity of his rendering an account, and it was AO
managed that it made no progress. In June, 1844, his
affairs ceme to a crisis, and a fiat in bankruptcy was
issued against him. Mr. Blair, on hearing this, hastened
to his solicitor's office to take possession of the securi-
ties; Seabrook's mortgage was not to be found, and it
then came to light that Mr. W. Bromley had appro-
priated the 4,500/. for his own purposes. No imputa-
tion whatever of any participation in the criminality of
his partner was made or desired to be made against the
defendant; far from it; it was admitted that he was
altogether ignorant of the fraud; and the plaintiffs, in
taking the present proceedings against him, only sought,

The Vice-Chancellor Wigram, upon the case coming
before him, gave judgment decreeing that the defendant
should pay the 4,500/. with interest, and the costs of the
suit. The Lord Chancellor, after going at some length
through the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that
the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram was correct,
and ordered it to be affirmed with costs.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
ANDERSON 7/. BAINES AND ANOTHER.

The plaintiff in this action is a silk dresser and presser
in the City, and the defendants silk•merchants, &c.
The action was brought to recover the sum of 5/, 17s. 9d.
for work done.

Defendants pleaded the general issue.
On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that he had
for some time previously to February last been in the
habit of pressing and creasing silks for defendants, o❑
account of a manufacturer named Douglas ; ultimately,
however, defendants gave a general order for plaintiff
to call on them for goods, and accordingly work was
done to the amount claimed. Douglas had been charged
with the orders up to that time, but had not paid.
On behalf of the defendants, Douglas was called, and
proved that he supplied the silks to defendants, but they
were not pressed. lie contracted with plaintiff to send
to defendants for them to dress them as required. He
had charged defendants as though they were pressed,
and had been paid, but did not pay plaintiff. Ile could
not, however, say whether the goods now claimed for
had been sent in or charged for by him. He was not in
confinement for debt, having failed for 20,0001.
Mr. HAWKINS, for plaintiff, contended that the contract
with Douglas had been abandoned, and that defendants
gave the order on their ow❑ account.
The Learned SECONDARY was about to sum up, but
the jury said they were satisfied, and gave a verdict fur
the amount claimed.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY)

IN RE ROBERT BEAU, JUN.

This insolvent, described as a sharebroker, was op-
posed by Mr. Nichols for Messrs. Al:sop, sharebrokers,
and a Mr. Carloss. He was supported by Mr. Dowse.
It appeared that the insolvent, a young man, began
business in May, 1845, and ended in January last. Ile
had a capital of 8501., which he had lost, and now owed
3,300/. lie had been a jobber in shares and in the funds.
Ile borrowed 1501. of Messrs. Allsop, of Hull, where he
carried on his business, on a promise to return the same.
He was a defaulter to Mr. Carloss, and the matter was
referred to the members of the Hull Stock Exchange,
and they made a report that 1091. Bs. 3d. was due to Mr.
Carloss, who was now a solicitor. An action was brought
in Middlesex, and a verdict given for the amount. The
costs were 49/., of which 30/. had been incurred by the
plea.
The insolvent admitted that he had been a jobber as
well as a broker, although he had only described himself
as a sharebroker.

i‘laint against the insolvent was twofold—
fraudulently contracting a debt, and also vexatiously
pleading to the action brought by Mr. Carloss. The in-
solvent had dealt with Messrs. Allsop after he had ob-
tained the money.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS told the insolvent he
would send for a person from Hull to ascertain the truth
of some statements as to Mr. Allsop.
The insolvent, on being pressed, admitted that he
might have acquiesced in the report as to the sum due to
Mr. Carloss.

Counsel having addressed the Court,
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS held that the subsequent
transactions with Messrs. Allsop condoned the complaint
as to the sum of 1.501. The insolvent had in a most au-
dacious manner contradicted the evidence of two gentle-
men, Ho had vexatiously defended the action brought
by Mr. Allsop, and he had described himself as a
stockbroker and jobber. He would be remanded for a
considerable period.—Judgment deferred.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
William Penny was indicted for stealinc, two sovereigns,
four half-sovereigns, and a quantity of silver, the property
of r. George Arnold.
It appeared that the prosecutor, on the 30th ultimo,
had been enjoying himself rather freely in several public
houses along the City-road, and fell, with his purse in
hand, in the street, and the contents of his purse was
scattered about. The prisoner came and picked up the
purse and money, and when asked if he had anything
except the purse, he replied in the negative, but upon
being searched, the above money was found upon him.
He was found Guilty, and sentenced to six months'
imprisonment, with hard labour.
THE LATE HEARTLESS ROBBERY AT THE LONDON
HosriTA.L.—Mary Anne Peddcr was indicted for stealing
a bead necklace, value 55., the property of Thomas Blyth,
from the person of Elizabeth Blyth.
The first witness called was Mary Anne Cripps, who
stated that she was the head nurse in the ward in which
Mrs. Blyth was brought in in a dying state, in conse-
quence of an accident by the upsetting of a gig, while
coming from Fairlop Fair. The prisoner approached
closely to the bed side, and hugging the dying woman in
her arms, said, " Poor, dear creature, she was my next
door neighbour." Witness said she was sinking fast,
and order( d the under nurse to get her some brawl,
w hen the prisoner said give me her pocket, I will go and
get her some. No one approached the bed, upon which
Mrs. Blyth was (who died in less than half an hour after
her admission), except witness, the under nurse, and the
Prisoner; and the prisoner having left the room the
under nurse almost immediltely afterwards exclaimed
that her necklace had been taken. A policeman even-
tually brought the prisoner hack, when she was searched
in the nurses' room, but nothing was found upon her; but
as the policeman was afterwards taking her down stairs
he heard something drop, and stopping her so suddenly
as not to allow her to leave the spot where she stood, he
looked down, when he found the necklace at her feet.
She could not tell if Mrs. Blyth was alive at the time of
the robbery.
Mary Townsend confirmed this witness's state-
ment, which was also borne out by that of the constable.
Mr. Thomas Bly th, whose arm was in a sling, and
who seemed to suffer deep mental and physical anguish,
stated the circumstances of the accident, and deposed
that he had never seen the prisoner before the time
she was brought to him in the hospital by the police-
man.

The ASSISTANT-JUDGE in summing up said the jury
could not treat the case as one of stealing from the per-
son, because the nurse was unable to state whether the
poor woman was alive or not.
The jury, without a moment's hesitation returned a
verdict of Guilty, and
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE in passing sentence on the pri-
soner said, this was about one of the most unfeeling,
cruel, and heartless cases which ever came before him.

The prisoner—You are wrong, my Lord, I did know
the woman; she and I have often drank together.
The ASSISTANT JUDGE—Nonsense. You want now
to belie the woman's character. The sentence of the
Court is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour
for six months, six weeks of the term to be solitary.
The grand jury having terminated their labours were
discharged at twelve o'clock.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Philip Bradley was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry
on a charge of stealing 91. in gold, the property of Mary
Jenkinson, his landlady. He had been several times
remanded.

The complainant stated that she kept an eating-house
in Little Turnstile, and the prisoner had rooms in her
house. On Saturday, the 26th ult., he gave her two
shillings in part payment of his week's rent, asking her
to allow the remainder to stand over for a few days, to
which she assented. On the Monday following she
missed 21., which she had deposited in a work-box in
her bedroom a few days before. The prisoner passed
the door of that room in going to and from his bedroom.
No other person had occasion to pass it.
Mr. Wm Cooper, a linen-draper in Red Lion-street,
said that on Monday, the 28th ult., the prisoner pur-
chased a silk handkerchief of him, and at the same time
deposited with him 61. in gold.
Mr. Richard Cooper, a shoemaker, in Red Lion-
street, said that on the same day the prisoner bought a
pair of boots, and having paid for them, asked for an
envelope. He put something in it, sealed it, and placed
it in one of the bouts. He then left.

The envelope was found to contain Mr. W. Cooper's
acknowledgment for GL

The prisoner reserved his defence, and was committed
for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
ROBBERIES ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
—For some time past the Eastern Counties Railway
Company have been robbed to an alarming extent by
their own servants. Amongst other purloinings is one
not unfrequently practised on the canals and in the
docks, commonly called " riding the pony," which means
the displacing the bung of a cask containing liquor, and
introducing a tube, by which the parties help themselves
by means of suction, as bountifully as they please.
Certain individuals having been suspected, a watch
was set upon their actions, and on Sunday
afternoon last, Sparks, the gatekeeper of the
goods warehouse, at St. John-street, Bethnal-green,
discovered six of the servants of the company regaling
themselves in the manner above alluded to. Sparks
proceeded to the police-station, and gave information to
Sergeant Coleman, the acting inspector ; and sergeant
Price, accompanied by several constables, went to the
warehouse, and apprehended live of the delinquents, the
other one, Williamson, escaped, but was subsequently
captured.

They were all brought to this office, and Cooling and
Williamson were discharged in consequence of the evi-
dence not app, aring sufficient ; but the others, namely,
Bacon, kVoot:, Allen, and Cherry, were ordered for trial.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)
Edmund Mills, who had been a driver in the employ
of the London Parcels Delivery Company for the last
ten years, was charged with having. driven his horse
and cart over a boy about four years of age, named Henry
Dobson, killing him on the spot.
From the evidence it appeared that, between seven
and eight o'clock yesterday evening, as the prisoner was
driving a cart belonging to the company past Plummers-
row, Mile-end Old Town, the deceased, with his mother,
was sitting on a door-step, when suddenly the poor little
fellow darted away from his parent, and before Mills
could pull up one of the wheels passed over its head,
causing instant death on the spot. All the witnesses
concurred in the opinion that no blame was to be at-
tached to Mills, who tried to pull up, but could not, and
immediately got down and rendered every assistance.
The cart was not going at a faster rate than seven or
eight miles an hour.
Mr. YARDLEY said, however deplorable and melan-
choly such an accident might be, yet, from the evidence
before him, there was el( arly no blame to be attached to
the prisoner, who bore, it seemed, an excellent character,
having been ten years in the employ of a public company,
and, therefore, under all the circumstances, he should
discharge him.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.
A grand fa,: was given yesterday upon the occasion
of the anniversary of the Butchers' Charitable Institu-
tion. There were upwards of 15,000 persons present.
The gardens were more than usually brilliant, and the
fireworks went off with great splendour. The great
novelty was, however, the night ascent of the balloon, in
which were Mr. Gypsum, the proprietor of the balloon,
Mr. Albert Smith, Mr. Pridmore, and Mr. Coxwell.
After some delay the balloon mounted with great velo-
city, and some rockets were discharged. It was

resembling a rush of air was instantly heard, and the
whole of the lower part of the balloon suddenly col-
lapsed, surging backwards and forwards as in a high
wind, whilst a voice cried, " The valve has burst
—we are all lost !" Immediately it began to descend
with terrific rapidity, the elevation at that moment
attained being, as near!•, as could be calculated by the
minuteness of the river boundaries, about 6,000 feet ;
and, to add to the danger, the mass of the balloon was
covered with the last sparks of the fireworks, threaten-
ing every moment to blow up. Fortunately the netting
retained the upper part of the balloon in a parachute
shape, the neck collapsing into it, and to this may be
attributed the preservation of the lives of the aeronauts.
The first shock was awful as it struck the earth, throw-
ing the voyagers from the car with great violence, while
the silk of the balloon, entirely voided of its gas, covered
them. A smart concussion was fortunately the only re-
sult of the accident. The only gentleman who received
any hurt was Mr. Pridmore, whose knee was slightly
lacerated. Perhaps in the annals of aeronautics there is
not to be found an instance of so miraculous an escape.
To the presence of mind of the gentlemen in the car may
be attributed their safety. Its the few awful seconds

PUGILISM.—SAMUEL SIMMONDS AND THOMAS LANE,
FOR 200 SOUS.—The encounter of these knights of the
knuckle, which, from sundry misunderstandings as to
the " venue," seemed more likely to end in a postpone-
ment, or magisterial interference, was yesterday brought
to issue on the borders of the counties of Northampton
and Buckingham. The men met in fistic fray at four
minutes after three, and at ten minutes to four o'clock,
Simmonds's second, Johnny Hannan, threw up the
sponge in token of defeat, at the close of the 26th round.
The battle was by no means remarkable for the scientific
manoeuvres of either men. It was characterised by
fast, wild, rushing exchanges, and the punishment was
pretty equally balanced. Simmonds returned to town
last night, and Lane, accompanied by his brother Ham-
mer Lane, departed for Birmingham, bearing the tidings
of his victory,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm
at the previous rates. Sales 7,000 bales, of which 2,000
were American on speculation. American sorts sold at
61d. to 70., Egyptian, Bid. to od., Surat 40. to 50.,
and Sea Island at 13d. to 18d. per lb. In Railway
Shares not much was doing, but prices were firm.
The Share Market has been ♦ery quiet yesterday, and
but little business was done in shares. We subjoin a few
of the principal sales of Railway Shares by Messrs.

Accounts from Hobart Town, of March 13, state that
new wheat was worth 4s. 9d. to ss. per bushel, and fine
flour 121. per ton.
A larger number of sales are in progress in the Co-
lonial markets, but the fall in the prices of various arti-
cles has been so marked recently, that there is but little
spirit to do business except for immediate wants. All
holders of sugar, and rice especially, must be severe
losers.
The Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have inti-
mated that the surplus amount of income over expendi-
ture available in the current quarter is 694,9121. 16s. 11d.,
and that, consequently, there will be 670,0001. invested
in Deficiency Bills, and the rest in stock. We are glad
to find Sir C. Wood pursuing the wise policy of the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is manifestly in the
highest degree absurd to redeem stock on which the Go-
vernment pays but 3 or 34 per cent., while it bas inte-
rest to liquidate on Exchequer-bills at a far higher
rate, to say nothing of the importance of being inde-
pendent of the Bank of England.
The Funds have been rather heavy again. Consols
are 88:1 to 89 for transfer, and 88;,-' to 89. The state of
the account influences the market still, but there is not
much speculation. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 91 to 914. Bank Stock is at 1964.
Exchequer-bills have been at 9s. to 13s. premium.
The Foreign Investments have been better, and the
speeches in Parliament respecting the Spanish debt
have caused some improvement in the quotations of the
bonds. The Five per Cents, have been 214 to and
the Three per Cents. 33 to 331.. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are 314. Mexican Bonds are 19k tot Russian
Stock is at 1111; and Dutch Four per Cents. 90.
The Share market is dull, but North Staffords have
improved upon the highly satisfactory report made to
the proprietors at the meeting. South Yorkshire and
Goole are in some request.

THE MURDER IN MARYLEDONE.— On the first day
of the session an application was made to tho Common
Sergeant by Mr. Bodkin, to postpone the trial of Mary
Anne Hunt, for murder, to the next session. The ground
for the application was, that the case had only just been
taken up by the Treasury to be prosecuted on their
behalf, and that there would not be sufficient time at the
present session to prepare the evidence. No opposition
was offered to the application on behalf of the prisoner,
and it was therefore acceded to.
The late Mr. T. T. Rennell, of Enfield, has left
NU to the Middlesex Hospital, and 1501. to the endow-
ment of a Chapel of Ease at Enfield Highway, being
portion of money accrued from property left to lzina by
his father, the late Major Rennell,
