ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

MARSACK U. LYSTER.
This cause came on for judgment to-day, and his
LORDSHIP stated that he adhered to the opinion he had
already expressed, and would accordingly make a decree
in conformity with that opinion.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied the whole of this day with the
special paper.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
BAMBRIDGE V. BLACK.
Mr. BLISS applied to the court to enter up judgment
in this case nunc pro tune.
It was an action of trespass which was tried at the
York assizes, and there was an arrest of judgment moved,
which was granted. In the meantime the plaintiff had
gone abroad, and was last seen in October, clinging to
his water-logged vessel in the White Sea; there was
every reason to suppose that he had perished.
Mr. Justice V4IGHTMAN take a rule to show cause.
THE QUEEN V. GOUGH.-THE RIGHTS OF PARISHIONERS.
Mr. GREENWOOD applied for a mandamus against the
Rev. Joseph Cough, custos of the Cathedral Church of
St. Peter's, at Exeter, to admit Francis R. Hold and
Joseph Gibbings as churchwardens. The question
which it was desired to raise was, whether the parish
ioners had a right to appoint both the churchwardens,
or, according to the canon, the right vested in the custos
to appoint one, and the parishioners the other. The affi-
davit stated that the parishioners had always exercised
the right contended for without any interference whatever,
and the custos has never refused to swear in those ap-
pointed.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN granted the application.
CROSS V. SAUL.

Mr. COWLEY applieTlora-;;;l; nisi to restrain the
Judge of the County Palatine Court, in High-street,
Liverpool, from taking cognizance of this case. The de-
fendant was the owner of a vessel, and he was in the
habit of conveying passengers from Liverpool to New
Yg,rk, and of providing the necessaries for the passage.
It appeared that the vessel sailed on the 11th of April
last, and was lost on the coast of Wexford ; the vessel
became an entire wreck, but the passengers
were all saved, and were brought back to Liverpool;
numerous actions had been brought by the passengers
for the recovery of their passage money. Most of these
actions were for sums under 51., and the ground of the
motion was the necessity of awaiting the decision of the
Court of Exchequer, where there was a similar action
against the defendant now pending, as the decision there
would guide the remainder of the cases.

Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—YOII must make the appli
cation before the full Court.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
HOWKER V. FARMERY.

This was a summons under the Bankrupt Act, in order

to have the defendant declared a bankrupt on ton-pay-
ment of a debt due to the plaintiff, who is a stock and
share broker in Cornhill.

Mr. TALHOURDIN, the defendant's solicitor, attended,
and stated that it was quite impossible for the defendant
to appear, as he was in custody in the Giltspur-street
Compter on a charge of forgery, and therefore submitted
that the summons should be dismissed.
Mr. MORGAN, who appeared for the plaintiff, contended
that this was not a lawtul impediment, inasmuch as the
defendant might be brought up on an habeas.
Mr. TALHOURDIN contended that the detainer under
a warrant was a legal excuse for non-appearance.
His HONOUR, however, was of a contrary opinion;
but would extend the time for the habeas to be obtained.
Mr. MORGAN said his clients were anxious to obtain
the fiat, as there was considerable property which would
be made away with. He was also interested for the
South-Western Railway Company, who were interested
in the case, and there were three prosecutions. The
time, therefore, to be allowed should be very short.
Mr. TALHOURDIN said the defendant would be
brought up for re-examination on Saturday, and per
haps the gaoler would bring him round to this court.
His HONOUR said that he was very unwilling to put a
man, situated as the defendant was, to the great expense
of an habeas.

Mr MORGAN said it was very questionable whether
the gaoler would have authority to bring him here.
His HoNouß—He may be liberated.
Mr. TALHOURDIN—NO, certainly not; he is certain to
be committed.

It was then suggested that an application should be
made to the governor of the Compter, and if he did not
think himself justified in bringing his prisoner to this
court, then an habeas should be applied for, that he
might come up on Friday.
Mr. TALHOURDIN said that it id not follow that the
judge would grant the habeas; if not, the non-appear-
ance would of course be taken as excusable arising from
a lawful impediment. He, however, could state that the
defendant was not a trader, and therefore that the sum-
mons must fall to the ground.
His HONOUR said he could not go into that matter
unless the defendant appeared to the summons.
The suggestion as to the adjournment was then
agreed to.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Henry Carroll, a flashily-dressed young fellow, was
brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a
large quantity of sheets, table linen, and various other
articles, the property of Madame Domberg, 27, North
Audley-street.
The prosecutrix stated that she left her residence on
the 19th of September last, leaving a room locked up,
in which she had deposited for safety two boxes contain-
ing valuable linen and a dressing-case, which were also
secured by patent locks. On the 13th of October fol-
lowing she received information that the room had been
broken open, and the boxes ransacked of their contents.
She subsequently gave information of the robbery to the
police.

- Elizabeth Ward, 3, Ladbroke-mews, Notting-hill, said
she formerly lived as servant with the prosecutrix. On
her leaving town witness remained in the house, and oc-
cupied a room adjoining the one in which the property
was deposited. About a fortnight after Madame left
town she, by the prisoner's persuasion, broke the win-
dow, and, having forced back the fastening, entered the
room, followed by the prisoner, who proceeded to break
open two of the boxes and the dressing-case. The things
were not taken out of the boxes that night, but a few
days afterwards she took same linen out of one of the
boxes, and the remainder was taken away by the pri
goner. He took the property away in a cab to a house in
Newton-row, Westbourne- grove, where it was left. She
knew nothing further about it.
Jesse Jeaper, 146 C, said, on receiving information of
the robbery he went to the residence of last witness,
and asked her whether she did not formerly live with
Madame Domberg. She said "Yes, she did." He then
asked her if she knew anything about some linen that
was stolen from 27, North Audley-street. She hesitated
a long time, when her mother said "You know all about
the linen, why not tell the constable?" She then told
him that she and the prisoner broke into the room, and,
after breaking open the boxes, took away a quantity of
linen, which they took to a house in Newton-row, West-
hourne•grove, occupied by a woman of the name of
Webbe. Witness subsequently saw that person, who
told him that the prisoner had brought a quantity of
linen which he wished her to purchase. On her refusing
to have anything to do with it, the prisoner called a cab
and took it away. Witness added that Mrs. Webb was
not able to come forward this morning, but if the pri-
soner was remanded for a short period, she would attend.
The prisoner was then remanded till Thursday next.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Barrington, a respectable-looking female, was
placed at the bar, charged with stealing a shawl from
the person of Ellen Walshe.
Complainant said that about twelve o'clock last night,
she was passing the end of Horsemonger-lane, when
the prisoner came up to her, pulled the shawl from her
shoulders, and gave it to a man who ran away. She,
however, caught hold of her and kept her until a police-
man came up, into whose custody she gave her.
Prisoner—Oh, dear, how can you say so? I am a re•.
spectable woman, and know nothing of your shawl.
Your Worship, I had been to my sister's in Botolph-lane,
celebrating Belton fair, and I know nothing of the female
who now charges me with robbery.
The complainant still asserted that the prisoner was
the person who robbed her.

The prisoner, on hearing this, became extremely
violent, vociferating that she had never seen the com-
plainant before, and that she must have been dreaming
about the shawl.

Mr. COTTINGHAM told her that she must send for her
sister, or some of her friends, as it was quite evident,
from her manner, that she ought to be under proper
restraint; in fact, she appeared to have escaped from the
protection of her friends.
Prisoner—Me mad ! why, I am as sane as you. My
dear Sir, don't believe what they say against me.

Mr. CoTTINGLTAK directed her to be taken care of
until her friends were apprised of her situation. She
was then removed from the dock.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)
Henry Williams and John Jones were charged with
having stolen two suits of clothes from the house of
a Mrs. Watson, No. 5, Fox-lane, Mary Ann-place,
Shadwell.

The case displayed great negligence on the part of a
policeman, whose number is at present unknown. It ap-
peared that yesterday morning the prosecutrix had occa
sion to go out, anti prior to doing so she locked up her
house. On her return she found the house had been
entered, and two good suits of clothes taken. A neigh-
bour, who had seen the prisoners coming out of her house
with a large bundle, and who suspected something wrong,
followed them as far as the George Inn in the Commer-
cial-road. They went into a house near, and seeing a
policeman standing a little distance off; she informed him
of the occurrence, but he would not interfere, as the
woman could not swear she had seen them come out of
the prosecutrix's house.

Potter, a constable of the detective force, said from
the description he had received he knew the prisoners at
once, and apprehended them last night at the Barley
Mow. In Jones's pocket he found a key which opened
the door of the house in Fox-lane.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he should remand them both
for a week, and directed Inspector Holmes, in: the in-
terim, to ascertain who the policeman was that was on
duty by the George, and bring him before him. As the
case stood at present it was almost conniving at a felony.

in Room D.

Evidence in favour of these lines were continued.

Colonel Reid, ii.P., and Mr. Bedborougb,- the ➢iayor of

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.

- - -
The Select Committtee appointed in accordance with the
motion of Lord Lyndhurst met this morning, at eleven o'clock,
in B Committee-room, the Earl of Chichester in the chair.
Mr. S. WORTLEY, M.P., who appears fir the Great
Western Company, then addressed the Committee in sup-
port of the agreement entered into by the Great
Western and the Birmingham and Oxford Companies,
for the sale of the line, any violation of which, he con-
tended, would prove injurious to the public, and be
entirely opposed to the great object which Parliament had
in view, in acceeding to the line, namely, competition and
public advantage. He referred at great length to the
voluminous correspondence which had taken place
between all the parties interested, and which
has appeared at length in the columns of The Sun
and argued from it that the object of Mr. Moseley, the agent
of the North-Western Company, was to defeat the object of
Parliament, by obtaining possession of the line for the North.
Western, which would obviously prevent competition.
