LAW INTELLIGENCE.
JUDGES' CHAMBERS, September 2.
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
BUNN V. LIND.
In this action, brought by the lessee of Drury-lane
Theatre against the celebrated Mdlle. Jenny Lind,
for an alleged breach of an engagement, two sum-
monses, taken out on the part of the defendant, came
on for hearing before his Lordship in the course of
the afternoon.
Mr. Corrie, as counsel for the defendant, attended,
with .her solicitor, Mr. Jennings ; and Mr. Lewis
(Lewis 04 LeNvis) appeared for the plaintiff.
thigliiitfer Mr. Justice Coleridge male an order
for a'commission to issueito examine witnesses abroad.
The aplitieatiOn was reported in The Sun on the 18th
pf Jiwe,--last. It was then stated that the action
.not" .:be tried until the sittings after Hilary
elm pest. •.
Mg4l,ipvtts called the attention of his Lordship to
the 'flip: summons on the present occasion, which
.spinmelnk called upon the plaintiff to show cause why
the defendant should not be at liberty to examine
viva voce the witnesses mentioned in the order of Mr.
Justice Coleridge, dated the 17th of June. He
*Quid not trouble his Lordship with the matter, as
it was better that the order made should be rescinded,
and liberty given to examine the witnesses viva voce,
as also for any person now in England to be examined
before one of the Masters of the Court of Queen's
Bench.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, on the assent of Mr. Jen-
nings, made an order to the effect mentioned.
Mr. LEWIS then proceeded to show cause against
the second summons in the case. It was, in his opi-
nion, a very ridiculous one, and he would read it to
his Lordship. It was to show cause " why the plain-
tiff, having threatened to hold the defendant to bail,
should not forthwith make any intended application
for bail or security, the defendant being about, tem-
porarily, to be absent from this country, and in de-
fault thereof that he be barred from applying for bail
or security in this cause." He had never before heard
of such a summons, and he would submit to his
Lordship that it could not be entertained for a single
moment.
Mr. COREIR said he apprehended that the summons
could be entertained. Toe object of the application
was to prevent the lady, the defendant in the cause,
from being arrested as she was about to set her foot
on the steam-vessel to leave this country.
Mr. LEWIS remarked that it was quite wrong.
Why did not the parties, if they thought so, at once
put in bail ?
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said the matter had been
brought before him on a former day by Mr. Hoggins.
Mr. LEWIS—And Mr. Corrie now appears to in-
duce your Lordship to make such an order. It is
quite ridiculous.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS intimated that he could not
make an order to the effect required.
Mr. CORRIE urged the matter on his Lordship as
one of some consideration to the defendant. It was
wished to prevent any annoyance to the defendant,
which might be shown by any ill-feeling on the part
of the plaintiff. If it was intended to make any ap-
plication for bail, it should be made at once, and not
delayed until the party was about to get on board a
steamer and leave England.
Mr. LEWIS said no application had been made, and
the plaintiff was called upon to let it be known that
he ever intended to apply in the matter.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS observed that it was a very
novel application.
Mr. JENNINGS—It is a very novel case, my Lord.
We have been waiting nine months to be arrested.
Mr. LEWIS declared that his Lordship had no
power to make such an order. Besides, lift might go
to the Lord Chancellor without an application to a
judge at chambers to hold to bail. e
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he had discussed the
matter with Mr. Hoggins. The defendant could
give bail.
Mr. Lewis —That is all we want.
Mr. CORRIE repeated his observation, that the
object was to annoy the defendant. It was intended
to drive off the proceeding to the last moment, and
the object of the summons was that it should be made
at once, so that bail could be given, if it was con-
sidered necessary.
His LORDSHIP said the summons must be dis-
missed.
Mr. LEWIS asked for costs.
Mr. JENNINGS objected to costs being paid.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—WeII, I shall only give
6s. Bd. costs. His Lordship was understood to say
that there had never been such an order made as the
one applied for, and he should certainly not grant
such an application.
Mr. CORRIE—There ',never was such a case, my
Lord.
Mr. JENNINGS observed that the plaintiff had
threatened to apply to the Lord Chancellor for a writ
ne exeat regno.
Mr. LEWIS said, they had discussed the matter in
order to ascertain whether it was intended to make an
application to hold to bail.
His Loansnir dismissed the summons, with 6s. ad.
costs to the plaintiff's solicitors.

orders do not in crease; still in the value we have little
variation to make known in any kind this week. Tl:e
small amount of business transacted privately was at
rather lower rates for green, but black is generally held
for the former currency. The quantity on offer of all
sorts has been larger than of late. The value of common
sound Congou for cash is 9d, good ordinary 9id,
Twankay, low yellowish leaf 7d to Bd, and -I-lyst?n
common is 2d to is 4d per lb. Merchants are still
complaining of the losses they are sustaining upon the
itaportation of tea.
SPlCES.—Although there are sellers of Malabar Pep-
per rather under previous rates, still exporters and the
home trade operate with caution, and of 315 bags 2,440
pockets at public sate were offered, a part only sold.
Privately Sumatra met with a dull sale at lid to 24d,
and Penang at 214 to 2d per lb. White sells slowly.
Jamaica Ginger continues in good supply, and not being
much required can be obtained upon further reduced
terms. At public sale 106 barrels wer sold. Pimento
is held with firmness, and none has been offered at
auction this week ; hut privately a fair amount of busi-
ness bas been concluded, and at stiff rates. In Cinna-
mon there has been little `passing, but there are nut
sellers under the rates of the last quarterly auctions.
Nutmegs have met with attention ; purchases to a fair
extent have been concluded privately, at rather higher
rates. Mace is in short supply, and being wanted prices
tend upward. Cloves are not much required, but holders
are firm, and supply the market sparingly.
SPlRlTS.—Jamaica has been extensively dealt in for
home consumption, whilst the export demand has been
good, indeed the market has been nearly cleared of all
sorts, and the prices paid have been Id per gallon also e
those that existed previously. The purchases have
amounted to 500 puns at 3s 8d to 4s, for middling to
good quality 32 to 31 per cent over proof ; small
parcels of fine at 4s 4d to 4s 9d, and of choice
quality at 4s 10d to 5s per gallon. Leeward Island, how-
ever, is little required, and can be obtained upon further
reduced terms. The amount of business transacted in East
India has been small, although at is lld to 2s, there are
sellers of proof strength. Demerara is not much re-
quired, whilst the limited business concluded in in strorg
sorts has been at barely former quotations, 3s 3d to 3s
6d having been accepted for 31 to 38 per cent over proof.
The arrivals of Rum have been small since this day
week, but several parcels are near at hand. Brandy is
little required by exporters or the home trade, whilst
there are free sellers upon previous terms. Genevaa is
in brisk request for exportation at 2s 9d to 2s 10d, and
for fine for home use at 3s 2d to 3s 6d. The price of
British Corn Spirits is 11a for English, and 10s 11d to
lls for Scotch and Irish.
RICE.—To-day there was only a limited demand for
East India Rice, but full rates were asked. None was
offered at public sale.
COCHlNEAL.—Privately only a limited demand existed
for black and silvers, and 67 bags Mexican at auction
were only in part sold at rather lower rates ; middling
black went at 5s 2d to 5s 31, and low to middling silvers
43 9d to 4s I Id per lb.
INDIGO.—The demand has been more active for East
India this week from the home trade, and purchases to a
fair extent have been made in all descriptions, whilst
the export demand has been rather better, but the
contracts concluded at present have been chiefly for
the Russian markets. There are few parcels
of any kind on offer, and the demand it is ex-
pected will continue to improve, as the importation is
less than it was last year, whilst the home and export
deliveries are greater, prices are lower, and the stock
smaller. There is but a small quantity pressing for sale.
Spanish does not improve in value, but there has been
rather more business transacted. We quote Cortes at
Is 10d to 2s 9d ; Sobres 2s 10d to 3s 6d, and Flores at
3s 8d to 4s 8d per )b.
OILS.—The arrivals of Fish Oils have bee of little
moment this week, whilst on the part of holders there
has been firmness, and they have refrained from offer-
ing any at public sale. Seal has been in excellent
request by private treaty, and the tendency of prices is
upwards. For Cod the prices asked are 2715 s to 271 10s,
but buyers operate with caution," as the importations will
be large this season. Southern met with attention, end of
all descriptions several parcels have been sold at firm
rates. The market is in a quiet state for Sperm, whilst
the supply continues good, and the trade operate with
caution. In Rape Seed Oil business has been much
operated against, by the crushers asking the ad-
vanced rates of 38s to 38s 6d for pale, and 37s
to 37s Gd for brown, but the amount of busi-
ness transacted has been of little moment. The
Rare Seed crop is likely to be small this season. Olive
has not met with much attention from exporters or the
home trade. Linseed Oil met with less attention, both
for home consumption and exportation, and there being
a better supply prices have assumed a downward ten-
dency. For forward delivery there are sellers at 26s 6d
to 26s 9d, but few contracts have been concluded. The
market will be well supplied ere long, as prices are much
• above those of last year at this time, and are highly re-
munerating to the crushers. Although the stock of Palm
is not large, still prices continue on the decline, as the
home trade and export demand limited.
TALLOW.—lmport, rs of Russian are anxious sellers,
and submitted to further reduced rates on the spot, still
,741 all parties operated with caution, although P. Y. C. of
ai fine new quality can be obtained at 46s 6d to 47s per
ea cwt. Soapmakers as well as chandlers only purchase
is sufficient for their present wants, as there is every pros-
poet of prices further declining. The business concluded
for the last three months of the year has been upon a
small scale, although there are sellers at 45s 6d to 455.
" Town made is not much required and can be obtained
ty4
at 47s to 47. 6d net cash. Other sorts are heavy of dis-
posal, and offered upon rather lower terms. The stock
has been further increased, still prices are much above
those of this time last year. That the importation will
this be greater than in the past season there can be no
-
I doubt.

SECONDARIES COURT, Sept. 2.

THE QUEEN V. VERTUE.-CROWN EXTENT rUR MALT

DITTIES.

THE LONDON GAZE i TE,

This morning a writ of extent, directed to the Sheriff
of London, was executed before Mr. Secondary Potter,
to ascertain of what lands, tenements, goods, and chattels,
Horatio Yertue, of Ipswich, maltster, was possessed on
the 4th of June, within the City of London.
Evidence having been given that property, consisting
of seeds, &c., at the defendant's counting house had
been seized, and were of the value of 2001., a verdict was
given for that amount. The debt due to the Crown was
276/. 14s. 2d. The defendant's property at Ipswich had
been seized by the Sheriff of Suffolk.
The Court did not sit on Wednesday, and only two
cases are set down for to-morrow (this day).

(THIS EVENING.)

REPORTED DEATH or DR. KELLY.— We are glad
to be enabled to contradict the report of the death of
James Kelly, M.D., of St. James's-street, who has been
three weeks prostrated by the severest form of fever,
caught in the discharge of his professional duties to his
patients. His physicians, however, trust tie worst is
past, and that the debility consequent on so tedious and
dangerous an attack, will be ultimately remedied by re-
moval to the country as soon as his strength permits.—

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
Yesterday :Moyce, the principal cook at the London
Tavern, and Matthews, a person also connected with
that establishment, were brought up. They. had been
charged by the proprietors some days ago with having
seized upon, as their perquisites, a quantity. of pies,
puddings, jellies, &c., which they had deposited in a
cab, for the purpose of being conveyed by one of the
rail ways into the country.
The object of the owners of the London Tavern
(who, it appeared, had always entertained the highest
opinion
of the two persons whom they found it neces-
sary to apprehend) in proceeding to any serious extent
in the case was to put an end to an idea, which seemed
to be very prevalent amongst the servants at taverns,
that they were at liberty to supply their families with
the remains of the sumptuous entertainments given at
such places.
It was expressly understood, when engagements
were formed with the prisoners by Messrs. Breach and
Bathe, that they were to take away nothing without
permission ; and it was quite certain that permission
had not been given in the present instance. The pro-
prietors, however, had consented to forego prosecu-
tion, upon condition that the prisoners would acknow-
ledge and apologise for their error.
The apologies having been made by the solicitor of
the prisoners.
The LORD MAYOR said he hoped the conduct
of other officials in taverns would be regulated by the
disagreeable consequences with which the above-
mentioned appropriation had been visited. The pri-
soners were not an atom more justified in taking
away what had been found in their possession, than a
grocer's shopman could be justified in abstracting
pounds of tea and sugar as his perquisites.
The prisoners were then discharged.

wine vaults, in Fetter-lane.
Sophia Maynard, the barmaid, stated that about
three o'clock she went into the private parlour ad-
joining the bar, and in a moment she heard the chink
of gold in the bar. She looked into the bar, and
found the prisoner on the counter, with the horn con-
taining the gold in his hand. He instantly replaced
in on the shelf from which he had taken it. She
missed five pounds' worth of silver, which was lying
counted up in piles of one pound on the same shelf
where the gold was, and she called out " Stop thief."
One of the porters pursued him, and brought him
back.

George Hearn, the porter, stated that he saw
the crowd running, and got up to the prisoner in
Temple-street. The prisoner was very restive till a
second porter came up.
Edward Bryant, a porter at 151, Fleet-street, stated
that he saw the prisoner and another man at the door
of the vine-vaults before the robbery. The other man
put his head inside the door, and then the prisoner
did the same. They then talked together, and the
prisoner went in alone. In about a minute the pri-
soner ran out, and as he passed the other man he
said to him, " Five pounds." Witness ran after him,
calling " Stop thief," and never lest sight of him till
he was stopped.
Mr. Alderman WOOD asked if he saw the prisoner
pass anything to the ether man ? Witness said he
did not.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening, shortly before
five o'clock, a bricklayer, named Conolly, employed at
the new buildings for Houlditch's coach factory, Long.
acre, opposite Bow-street, fell from the upper platform
of the scaffold, a height of thirty-five feet, and was
killed on the spot. He has left a wife and family.
HEALTH OF LivenrooL.—lhere is a continued
decrease in the number of fever cases, both in the parish
of Liverpool and in the adjacent townships of Toxteth
Park and West Derby, which form the West Derby
union. The guardians of the latter have

the select vestry here the use of the Druid, lazsretta,
as a convalescent hospital for patients now recovering
from fever.—Manchester Guardian.
An elderly man was on Monday leaving the Bank
of France, where he had just received 14 notes of I,ooof.
e:ch, and was imprudently holding his pocket-book con-
taining them in his hand, when an individual suddenly
came up, gave him a violent blow in the breast, and,
snatching the pocket-book from his hands, got clear off
by the Place des Victoires. He has not yet been ar-
rested.—Galignani.

Policeman No. 324 said he found the whole of the
money on the prisoner. He had put the silver in the
pockets of his trousers, and had only 4d. in addition
to the 51.
Mr. Alderman WOOD asked the prisoner if he had
anything to say to the charge? The prisoner said
he was quite innocent. What Bryant had said about
his mentioning 51. as he ran was a pure invention.
The money was his own. He put questions to the
witnesses to show that their statements at the station-
house did not exactly agree what they now de-
posed.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said a jury should have an
opportunity of judging of the evidence, and committed
him fbr trial.

MARYLEBONE. 1
Yesterday Mr. John Slade Lanham was brought 1
up in custody at the instance of Mr. Collard, super-
intendent
of the Great Western Railway Company's
police, on two charges, one of which was for mis-
conduct in a carriage, and the other for refusing to
deliver up his ticket when called upon to do so.
The witness in support of the first charge was Mr.
T. Byers, 7, Upper Lisson-street, Lisson-rave, who
deposed as follows : I
Yesterday evening I, my boy,
and four friends, got into a second-class carriage by
the nine o'clock up-train, at West Drayton, when,
just as I was about to take my seat, defendant cried
out to me " You can't get in, there's no room he also
was a passenger, and after I had mentioned to him
that there was quite room enough I sat down near
the end of the opposite seat ; he abused me very much
by calling me a blackguard and using other foul lan-
guage ; and some ladies who were close to him be-
came much alarmed at his behaviour, thinking that
it might perhaps cause a fight ; one of them removed
over to the side where I was, owing to the defendant's
annoyance, and told him (defendant) that he ought
to he given in charge, upon which he immediately
stood up, and shaking his fist at her, exclaimed,
" I'll give you in charge, Madam." When the train
stopped at the place where the tickets are collected, I
stated the nature of his conduct to some of the offi-
cers, which I felt myself upon public grounds bound
to do, and he was ultimately locked up at the station-

house.
By defendant—l'll swear that you called me a
blackguard. The lady who removed from your side
to mine said that you bad annoyed her for a long
while; she wished to get out of the carriage when
the train stopped at Ealing.
Mr. ARNOLD asked if the lady alluded to was in
attendance?
Mr. Collard replied in the negative.
Peter Dumas Broderick said, on the arrival of the
train at the ticket platform near the terminus I de-
manded of defendant his ticket ; he seemed very much
excited, and alleged that some one had charged him
with an indecent assault upon a lady. He held his
ticket in his hand, but would not give it to me. He
wanted to make a charge against some one else, and
I told him that he would have an opportunity of doing
so if he thought fit. I gave him into the custody of
the guard, and on the train reaching its destination
be was taken, first before A sergeant, and afterwards
before Mr. Powell, the night superintendent at the
railway station, by whose direction he was given in
charge.
Phillips, the guard, corroborated the principal por-
tion of the latter witness's evidence.
By the defendant--The ladies wanted to alight at •
the ticket platform, but I told them they need not
be alarmed, as you were in my charge, and I should
go on with you to the terminus. Neither of the
ladies made any charge against you when you got
out
Mr. ARNOLD—Before you gave the defendant into
the custody of the night sergeant, did you ask him
for his name and address ? Witness—l did not, sir.
Mr. ARNOLD—•Did you make any other charge
against him than that of refusing to give up his
ticket ? Witness—No.
Mr. ARNOLD recalled Broderick, who said, " No
complaint as to any misconduct was made to me
except the refusal of delivering up the ticket."
Mr. ARNOLD, after reviewing the case in all its
bearings, came to the'conclusion that with respect to
the " misconduct" alleged he could not deal with
that, as no charge of the kind was made against de-
fendant at the period of his being given into custody;
as regarded the non-delivery of the ticket, it did not
appear that defendant had refused to give his name
and address ; on the contrary it had been clearly
shown that he was not asked for either before the
charge for non-delivery of the ticket was made. A
refusal after the demand would certainly have justified
the company's servants in detaining him and locking
him up, and he would have rendered himself, under
one of the bye-laws, amenable to a penalty for his
offence. He must dismiss the complaints against the
defendant in the shape in which they had come before
him.
Mr. Collard said he should, no doubt, be able on a
future day to bring forward the lady who was in-
sulted to prove clearly her case. He then applied
for two summons against defendant, one for mis-
conduct in the railway carriage, and the other for
refusing to deliver his ticket to the collector at the
platform.
The summons were both granted.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday Benja;nin Daley, an elderly man, was
charged before Mr. Hammill with having threatened
the life of Mr. William Wilmot, a member of the
Stock Exchange, residing in Nichols-square, Hack-
ney-road, and also with having violently assaulted
Holland, the warrant-officer, who took him into
custody.
From the evidence of Mr. Wilmot it appeared that
about two years ago the prisoner, who was distantly
related to him, was offered a temporary asylum in his
house until he recovered from some slight indisposi-
tion under which he was labouring. The prisoner
thankfully accepted the offer, and immediately took
up his quarters there, but upon regaining his strength
did not exhibit the slightest indication of departing,
and upon hints of a somewhat positive nature becom-
ing necessary and being ventured, he not only deci-
sively refused to leave, but declared that he had made
up his mind to remain where he was "as long as
there was a stick in the place." Witness and the
members of his family made various subsequent efforts
to get rid of such a strange and annoying incum-
brance, but without an approach to success, although
he had actually offered the prisoner, as an induce-
ment, to provide him with lodgings elsewhere for a
whole twelvemonth, and to pay all his expenses. The
prisoner was allowed to continue in this way until
Sunday last, but he then conducted himself in such
an offensive and domineering manner, that it became
imperatively requisite to renew the endeavours to get
him away, and they persuaded him to go quietly; but
he pertinaciously refused to do so, and significantly
told the witness that he had better drop that subject
altogether at once, "or he should certainly bullet
him ;" and feeling apprehensive, from his knowledge
of his violent temper, that he would carry his threats
into execution, he felt it necessary to apply to the
Magistrate for his protection.
Holland, the warrant-officer, stated, that on pro-
ceeding to the prosecutor's house and communicating
his business to the prisoner, with a request that he
would accompany him to the court, the prisoner re-
plied that he felt himself very comfortable where he
was, and that he should certainly do no such thing.
Witness told him that he must compel him to go if
he did not, but the prisoner treated the observation
with defiance, and, on the witness attempting to take
him into custody, seized hold :of him and flung him
with such violence to the ground that his leg was
seriously hurt by the stones; when, finding it useless
to attempt the capture by himself, he was obliged to
dispatch the maid servant for a second officer, with
whose assistance at last they succeeded in getting
him out.
When called upon for his answer to the charge, the
prisoner entered into a lengthened defence, complain-
ing of his being turned out, and intimated that he had
not clearly understood the alleged proposition of the
prosecutor to provide him with other lodgings, or he
might have been induced, perhaps, to entertain it;
and that with regard to the threats, they were meant
for nothing but empty words, without any intention
of putting them in force.
Mr. HaramiLL told the prisoner that he had made
a most ungrateful return for the kindness and hospi-
tality the prosecutor had shown him, and he should
therefore require him to enter into his own recog-
nizances in 401., and find two substantial securities in
201. each, to keep the peace towards that gentleman
for the next six months ; and in addition to that, he
must pay a penalty of 20s. for the assault upon the
officer, or in default stand committed for a fortnight
to the House of Correction.
Neither the bail nor the money was found, and the
prisoner was therefore carried off in the van, but pro-
testing to the last against the hardship that was done
him.
