and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social contest. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 15.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall before Lord Chie
Justice DENMAN and a Special Jury.)
WHALEY. V. IDLE.

Mr. Crowder, Q.C. (with whom were Mr. Crompton
and Mr. Phipson), appeared for the plaintiff; and the
Attorney-General (with whom was Mr. James) for ale
defendant.
This action was brought to recover the sum of
7141. 6s. 5d., being the amount which the plaintiff
claimed as the balance due in respect of certain railway
shares purchased by the plaintiff for the defendant at
his request. It appeared that the plaintiff; who was u
stockbroker, had purchased a great many shares at
various times for the defendant, and that many of those
purchases had realised api olit. But %hen the Cork and
Kilkenny and the Great Munster Railways came out,
the defendant himself applied for and obtained an
allotment of forty shares in each of those under-
takings, and obtained one hundred shares more of each
from a gentleman named Rosa. The deposits upon
those shares were afterwards paid by the plaintiff,
who held them, at the request of the defendant, to
do the hest he could with them. On the 3d of
July, 1845, the plaintiff sent in his account to the
defendant in a letter, in which he estimated the value of
those shares at 4901., and requested from the defendant
a note of hand for 3501. as a further security. He added,
that he would hold those shares till he received further
directions from the defendant, and regretted that the de-
fendant had purchased them contrary to his (plaintiff's)
advice. The note of hand was accordingly sent, and duly
paid ; but the defendant having been afterwards made
acquainted with the fact that some of those shares which
the plaintiff had said that he held for him had been sold
by the plaintiff at a profit of ten shillings per share, now
sought, under a plea of set-off, to have an allowance
made to him of the profit upon those shares. He fur-
ther pleaded that the note of hand for 3501. was obtained
by the fraud and covin of the plaintiff, and supported
the plea by evidence that when, in his letter of the 3d of
July, the plaintiff stated that he held those shares, he,
in fact, had sold them, and that he afterwards produced
other scrip in their place. The chief question then was,
whether the defendant had a right to the identical
shares which he had purchased, and as they had been
sold by the plaintiff at a profit, whether he (the defen-
dant) was entitled to set off that profit against the plain-
tiff's demand.

Mr. Barnes was called and examined by Mr. CRow-
DER-I am a jobber on the Stock Exchange. Formerly,
when we bought and sold scrip certificates we did not
take a note of the particular scrip certificates, but we
do so now. It was the general practice not to do so,
but it is altered now. I was employed by Mr. Morley,
a director of the Great Munster Railway Company,
to purchase 1,000 shares in that company at about the
end of April. I bought 50 from the plaintiff at 7s. 6d.
or 103. premium. I afterwards asked the plaintiff, as a
personal favour, to lend me 100 shares, in order that I
might settle Mr. Morley's account. I did not notice
the particular numbers. I returned the same number
of the shares to the plaintiff in the month of May, but
I did not pay him anything for the loan. About the
same time I bought from 30 to 50 shares in the Cork
and Kilkenny CoLnpany from the plaintiff for Mr.
Morley.

Cross-exarained by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I WRS
employed to " rig the market," as you call it. I had
letters of allotment from Mr. Morley to put into the
hands of bona fide holders. I was to have half a-crown
for every share I so disposed of. I gave some to the
plaintiff. I was employed by Mr. Morley, about a week
afterwards, to buy shares, and I bought back the shares
I gave away, and I got ls. 3d. for each share I pur-
chased back. I got 2s. 6d. for every share I gave away,
and ls. 3d. for every share I bought back. .1 got them
all back. My friends got from ss. to 10s. a share. The
plaintiff is a friend of mine.
Re-examined by Mr. CROWDER—I am a member of
the committee of the Stock Exchange; and two years
ago I was High Sheriff of the county of Buckingham.
The ATTORNEY•GENERAL, in addressing the jury,
commented i❑ very strong terms upon the conduct of
the witness Barnes, who, though a member of the com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange, and High Sheriff of the
county of Buckingham, had confessed to having been
engaged in a transaction which reflected the utmost dis-
grace upon him. The public naturally looked with con-
fidence to gentlemen in his position, but he thought that
after this exposure, they would be less inclined to do so.
This was the friend of the plaintiff (noscikir a sociis),
who, after having sold the defendant's shares at a pre-
mium of 10s. a share, had gone and purchased some
waste paper, for which he now sought to make the de-
fendant liable. He trusted the jury would, by giving
their verdict for the defendant, read a " great moral
lesson" to such gentlemen.
Mr. CROWDER, in reply, said the Learned Attorney Ge-
neral had read a great moral lesson, but a moral lesson was
all nonsense as regarded that case. The plaintiff had paid
the money for the defendant, and he was entitled to be
repaid. He had acted on the orders of the defendant,
and he would not have been justified in soiling the shares
without the defendant's instructions. He contended
that it was of no consequence that the plaintiff had sold
the identical pieces of paper which had belonged to the
defendant, for at that time one scrip certificate was con-
sidered to bu just as good as another.
Lord DENmAN here interposed, and said that he was
of opinion that the shares in question had not become
the property of the defendant, so as to entitle him to any
profit upon them.

- A verdict was then given for the plaintiff—Damages,
714/. es.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL tendered a bill of excep-
ions to his Lordship's decision.

COURT pF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 15.

'Sitting Nisi Prius sat at Guildhall, before the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICii and Special Juries.)
COCKBURN AND ANOTHER V. ALEXANDER.

Mr. Martin, Sergeant Byles, and Mr. Wilde appeared
for the plaintiffs, and Sergeant Channell (with whom was
Mr. Bramwell) for the defendant.
This was an action for the recovery of freight charge-
able on the cargo of the ship Parkside, from Port Philip
and Sydney to the port of London. Tho charter-party
specified for " a full cargo of wool, tallow, hides, bark,
or other lawful merchandise," the bark not to exceed 50
tons in quantity, except in the event of a deficient cargo
of wool, when it might be increased to 100 tons, with an
increased rate of freight, and the tallow and hides not to
exceed 80 tons. The cargo actually brought by the
Parkside was 61 tons wool, 260 tons tallow, 144 tons
bark, 18 tons hides, two tons gum, three tons hoofs and
horns, 8,153 trenails, and 35 tons wood.
Mr. MARTIN and Sergeant BYLES, for the plaintiffs,
contended that there had been an infraction of the
charter-party, the quantity of tallow and bark being in
excess, and wool not having been shipped on board to
complete the cargo after the prescribed amount of other
commodities. The Learned Counsel also contended
that the freight to which their clients were entitled for
the articles in excess, and also for those not specified in
the charter• party, was the wool freight specified in the
charter-party. For the establishment of this last posi-
tion Mr. Phillips, of the eminent ship-broking firm of
Messrs. Phillips and Tiplady, was put into the witness-
box, and asked whether the expression in the charter-
party, "or other lawful merchandise had a known
technical meaning in the shipping trade.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE held that such a ques-
tion could not be put, the words referred to being per-
fectly plain and intelligible, and admitting of judicial
construction.

Mr. MARTIN then asked the witness, when a charter-
party was framed specifying a certain number of articles
to be paid for by a specified rate of freight, one greatly
predominating and the others limited in quantity, in the
event of other goods being led on board the vessel for
which no rate of freight was specified, what rate of
freight was paid for these latter goods according to the
custom of merchants ?

This question being also objected to,
The LORD CRIEF JUSTICE decided that it could not
be put.
Further evidence having been given, the plaintiffs'
case was closed, and

Sergeant CHANNELL, for the defendant, applied for his
Lordship's judgment on the terms of the charter-party.
Ile also submitted that there was no evidence to go to
the jury, and that the plaintiff had failed to make out
his ease. Ile contended that the words in the charter-
party, " or other lawful merchandise," admitted of no
doubt, and quoted in support of the construction which
he put upon them " Moorson v. Page," 4 Camp., " Ir.
ving and Clegg," 1 Bing. N. C. 53, " Capper v. Foster,"
5 Scott, 129. The Learned Sergeant also contended
that the 3,0001. paid by the defendant to the plaintiffs
was amply sufficient to remunerate them under the terms
of their charter-party, and that the defendant had acted
properly in estimating the freight of the unspecified
goods, gum, bones, horns, &c., at the current rate.
The COUNSEL for the plaintiff replied that charter-
parties always defined the rate of freight, and that the
present instrument was to be construed by a reference to
the circumstances which surrounded it.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE at this point suggested,
and the suggestion was adopted by both parties, that a
verdict should be taken for the plaintiff; subject to the
opinirm of the Court aslo the construction of the charter-
part:T.,•; that the Court -Mould have power to determine
the principles by which the freight should be calculated,
and that the amount thereof should afterwards be settled
by reference.
e jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs accord-
ingly—Damages, 1,760/.

CONSISTORY COURT, Dec. 15.
DEANE AGAINST DEANE.
was a suit for a divorce by reason of adultery by
Mr'. Henry William Deane against Louisa Ann, his wife.
TI. Le parties were married at Calcutta, 13th January,
18 40, and cohabited in various parts of India, two chit-
di en being the issue of the marriage. It appeared that
M r. Deane was in the civil service of the East India
Company, and was stationed at Mozuffernagger; that
Mrs. Deane and one of the children being ill in 1843,
she -went with them to Missouri in the Hills; and took
up -:their residence with Captain and Mrs. Bowles, the
latte r being a cousin of Mrs. Deane. Amongst the
visit( ors at Captain Bowles's were several officers of his
regin lent, the 3d Light Dragoons, one of them being
Corn et Travers, and it appeared that Mrs. Deane left
the, 'residence of Captaia Bowles, and took up her

abode for a fortnight at the hut of Cornet Travers. Mr.
Manse), a friend of her husband, had two interviews
with Mrs. Deane at the hut of Mr. Travers. A letter
from Mrs. Deane to her husband, after the occurrence,
written in a very pathetic strain, and expressive of " deep,
deep remorse," acknowledging his affectionate kindness
and the base and horrible return she had made for it,
formed part of the evidence, though it contained no ex-
plicit confession of adultery.
Dr. BURNABY and Dr. R. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of
the wife, endeavowed to show that there was a deficiency
of proof of both the adultery and the identity of Mrs.
Deane, there being no evidence of any indecent fami-
liarities between the accused parties, and no direct ovi-
deuce that she had been ever seen with Mr. Travers at
thy hut, which caprice or some other motive had led her
to visit.

The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE and Dr. HARDING were
heard col:tra, and

Dr. LUSUINCTON expressed his perfect conviction that,
taking the evidence of Captain and Mrs. Bowleg, and
Mr. Manse], with the letters of Mr. Deane, there could
be no doubt of her adultery; and tho objection as to her
identity was inconsistent with her appearance to tho
citation, and her employing advocates to defend her. He
thereforo pronounced for the divorce.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHEI?IV CIRCUIT York, Dec 14.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
At the sitting of the Court this morning, his LORD-.
SHIP intimated, that considering the state of the calendar
and that there was no probability of finishing in a week,
long cases had better be put off to the latter part of the
assizes, and appointed the Mirfield murder to be taken
on Monday next.
William Cole, aged 23, was charged with having, on
the 15th of July last, at Halifax, feloniously stolen a
horse, the property of William Muitt.
Mr. Boothby conducted the case for the prosecution ;
Mr. Overend defended the prisoner.

It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is a
livery-stable keeper at Halifax, and that on the 15th day
of July the prisoner came to his stables and wanted a
horse and gig to take him to Bradford. Not having one,
the prisoner went away, but returned shortly, saying that
a saddle horse would do as well. Accordingly the horse
in question was saddled, and without asking what the
hire would be the prisoner rode off, not to Bradford,
but to the Packhorse Inn yard at Leeds, where some
person looked at the horse with an idea of buying
it. It was then taken to the Palace-yard Inn, where the
ostler brought a Mr. Randall to look at it. He (Mr.
Randall) eventually purchased the horse for 51., and the
prisoner gave a rece►pt for the money. Mr. Randall,
who horses a coach at Wakefield, sent the horse to that
place. On the 16th of July prosecutor went with a
police-constable to Wakefield, and there, in Mr. Ran-
dall's stables, he found his horse.

Mr. OTEREND addressed the jury for the prisoner.
His .LORDSHIP, in summing up, left it to the jury to
say whether, at the time when the prisoner took the
horse from the prosecutor's stables, he intended to
steal it.

The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Anthony Brown and John Brown were charged for
obtaining money from George IVilson and Joseph Ben-
son under false pretences.
Mr. Pickering and Mr. Farrar conducted the case for
the prosecution ; Mr. Overend and Mr. Price defended
the prisoners.
It appeared that the prisoners are father and son, and
that the former had entered into a contract with the
prosecutors (who are contractors with the East and
West Yorkshire Railway) to cart permanent materials
to such parts of the line as they should be directed by
tho storekeeper of the company, at the rate of 7s. 9d. a
ton. The storekeeper had to give ticket., to the men
who should load the materials in the carts of the pri-
soners, and on these tickets being produced at the pro-
a2cutor's office once a fortnight, the prisoners were paid
at the rate of 7s. 9d. a ton for the amount of materials
which the tickets should indicate had been carried. On
the 18th of May suspicions arose as to the genuineness
of the tickets, and the prosecutors wrote to the store-
keeper at York to send them an account of the goods de-
livered on their account. The storekeeper sent an ac •
count for the fortnight between the 15th and 27th of
May, and during that period no forged tickets had been
presented. At this time Joseph Brunt, a bookkeeper in
the employ of the prosecutors, told the prisoner Anthony
Brown, that the account of the materials delivered to be
carted had been sent for, and a few days after this the
prisoner Anthony Brown left the neighbourhood, and
was afterwards apprehended at Boston in Lincolnshire.
Upon further inquiry it was discovered that 75 tickets,
showing that upwards of 500 tons had been delivered,
were not genuine.

These being the facts relied on by tho prosecution.
Mr. OVEBEND took several technical objections,
which being overruled, ho addressed the jury upon the
facts.

E la LORDSIIIP having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Anthony
Brown, there being no case against the other prisoner.
John Terry was indicted for forgery of a savings-bank
receipt at Beverley.
Mr. Otter and Mr. Burton appeared for the prosecu-
tion; the prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that a person named Reuben Clubley
had placed 151. in the East Riding Savings•bank, from
which he got a deposit book. IL kept his deposit book
in an unlocked chest at house; he himself had never
been to the savings- bank, so that his person was un-
known to the clerks. On the 27th of September the
prisoner went to the bank with Cubley's deposit book,
said he was Reuben Clubley, and drew 1/. on account.
The secretary filled up a receipt with Reuben Clubley's
name at the bottom, to which the prisoner affixed his
mark. On cross-examination by the prisoner, it ap-
peared that Clubley's mother had previously, without
her son's authority, gone to the bank with his deposit
book,. and received. money,

Liverpool, Dec, 14.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDEusoN.)
Junes Murray was indicted for the manslaughter of
Martin Molloy.
Mr. Monk conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was not defended by counsel.
It appeared that a number
01 persons on the evening
when this occurrence took place, being Sunday, had
been drinking at a public-house in Prescot. They were
chiefly Irish, and in the course of the evening a feud
arose between the Shannons and the Molloys. The
candle in the room was put out, and a scene of much
confusion and violence ensued. The party poured con-
fusedly down the stairs into the street, where the dis-
turbance was continued. The prisoner made his ap-
pearance with a poker, and, being of the Shannon
faction, called out lustily for any one of the opposite
faction to fight him. The deceased, Martin Molloy,
was standing at the corner
of the street with a stick,
g the poker when the prisoner came up, havin still in his
hand, and struck the deceased on the head, inflicting a
wound a little behind the left ear, and producing a frac-
