REIGNE AND COOKE
This was' an application for an. injunctioti tV restrain thf.
defendant, the Captain of the brig Armadillo, froh hipthe •
citting, and selling the cargo, or part of the cargo of that les-
-01, f.r. the purimge of "riabliria. him to repair some injuries sus-
tained by her during the fdjtgif:
'1 tie facts of the ease were s,.u.tly these. The Armadillo sailed
in November last from Newcastle for 14eVit litori, laden with
oil, atid in kmsequence of injuries which she rectWett shortly
after sailingwas ohligefk to put in at Cowes to refit ; the Captain
nt having money or credlt in that port, conceived that
he had a ri-ght-ti, !tispose of as much of the cargo as would enable
him t 8 recrit/r the ship and proceed whit his voyage. An
kent, however, from the shippers of the cargo having arrived
at COYfitc directed the Captain nit to sell any of
the goods at any
sport short of the yort of discharge ;
but the Captain insists,' on his right to dispose of part of them
under the circumstances in which he was placed, and the ob-
ject of the present application was to obtain an injunction to
restrain Min from doing so.
Messrs. WAIMIZI4D, RICHARDS, and KEENE supported
the motion.
Mr, K. BRUCE (with whom was Mr. HULL) opposed the
motion, and was addressing the Court when we went to Press.

ing robbed Mrs. Hayward of 2001. in Bank of England notes
and sovereigns, and Elizabeth Donnell was charged with hay-
in, received part of the notes, knowing them to have been
stolen. _ .

Mrs. Hayward deposed that the male prisoner was her
nephew, and was in the habit of visiting her. A few weeks
ago he came to see her in consequence of her being ill. Soon
after he left she had occasion to go to her box where she kept
her money, and found that the whole of it was gone, con-
sisting of 2001. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns. The
money was kept in a big. As soon as she discovered her loss
she gave information of it to the police.
The woman employed as nurse to Mrs. Hayward corrobo-
rated her evidence.
Ellen Macreath deposed that she was acquainted with a young
man of the name of Galbray, who formerly lived with the
female prisoner. About a fortnight ago, the mother of Gal-
bray came to her and requested her to accompany her to the
!emale prisoner's lodgings, as she wished to ascertain whether
her son was married to the prisoner. The witness accompanied
her to the house where the female prisoner lived, and there saw
both the prisoners together. The male prisoner produced a
great quantity of bank-notesrand wished her to sew them up
in a bag.
aPinty was called, and corroborated the testimony, adding
that he was in company w:th the male prisoner the same even-
ing, and he went into' a pubbc-house to chane,oea 201. net^, but
p,,:rt of the change, and .et the
could not do so, but obtained a
note at the public-house.
David Jones deposed that the female nrisoner lodged in his
house. On last Tuesday week she eain.: to him, and asked
him to take care of two 201. notes for her, ,and handed him a
101. note and one 51. note. She said she had received some
money from Portsmouth, and that she was going receive
some nidre, Site said she was going to be married, anti when
she returned ild could give her the money. The witnei.:
looked at the note., and said, " These are rot 101. notes. One
is a 5/. note, and the other 101." As she did not seem to
know what the notes were, he should like to have some one
by to see her give him the notes. She said he need not fear
any thing, as a young man that she knew had received 200/.,
and she was going to be married to him. She wished the wit-
ness to pay away the notes as 5000 as he could in the way of
business. The male prisoner came its, and the witness showed
him the notes, and asked him what they were. He said they
were a 101. note and a 5/. note. The witness then wrote the
name of the female prisoner on the back of both the notes.
The brother of the witness had since changed the notes.
Joseph Thompson, a police constable, stated that from in-
formation he received he
,proceeded to Liverpool, and there as-
certained that the two prisoners were living together as man
and wife in the name of Hawkins. He went to the house where
they resided and saw the female prisoner. He said he had come
from the Birmingham Railway with a money parcel. She
said she expected one. The witness said he must have a re-
ceipt for the money by her husband. . She,said he would be in
soon. He came in soon afterwarqs, and the witness told him
he apprehended him in the name of Pierce. He said he did
not know anything of the name, that his name was Hawkins.
The witness took both prisoners into custody and brought them
to London. _ _ .

They were remanded till Saturday next in order to obtain
further evidence.

consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, the party
was not so numerous es it otherwise would have been, and in-
disposition prevented his Lordship being present. Groat satis-
faction was expressed at the way in which the horse-hoeing was
performed. 'I he party afterwards partook of a plenteous lun-
cheon, which the accompaniment of some of his Lordship's

A FRENCH STEAM-BOAT.---An Englishman,
who had never before seen Frenchmen, and their mode of doing
things, would have deemed that the boat was on the point of
blowing us all into the air, or at least that every soul on board
was some very near and dear relation of every !coal on the quay,
and that we were all bound for New South Wales. The cap-
tain, standinz, on the paddle-box, had, from his air and gesti-
culation, every appearance of being in the agonies of frenzied
despair, caused, as I presently perceived, by the tardy move-
ments of a little boy, who was lugging down the quay a huge
basket of hot rolls for our breakfast. Clang, clang, jang,
jang, went the bell nnintermittingly ; the steam hissed
phizzed, and roared by turns ; and the crowds, both on the
quay and on board, evidently labouring under the influence of
the most. exciting emotions, were chattering, hallooing, swear-
ing, and gesticulating with an intensity of purpose quite as-
tounding. At last, after a vehement contest between the cap-
tain and a peasant who insisted on bringing a great hog on
board with him, in which dispute most of the by-standers took
part, the rope which held us to the bank was thrown off, and
away we phizzed down the river.— Trollope's Summer in
Western France.
