BAIL COURT, Jan. 18.
AILLICL V. LLOYD.
This was an action for a breach of contract. The
plaintiff was a dealer in railway shares, and the defen-
pant a member of the firm of Lloyd and Co., bankers,
Birmingham. In 1845, the defendant was the allottee
and holder of a banker's receipt for 50 shares in the
Toronto and Lake Huron Railway Company, which
he sold through the instrumentality of a stock broker
to the pkaintiff at par. The defendant, however, upon
signing Ale contract deed neglected to hand over the
scrip certificates to the plaintiff ; and the consequence
was, the plaintiff,having sold the sharesat three- eighths
premium, was compelled to purchase other 50 shares
at the same premium, in order to be in a condition to
complete the contract, and the present action was
brought to recover from the defendant 121. 10s., the
price at which be agreed to sell his fifty shares—the
three-eighths premiumlwhich the plaintiff had paid on
the second purchase, and the broker's commission for
negotiating the purchase, the three items amounting
in the whole to 341.
For the defence it was contended, first, that the
sale was not legal, inasmuch as at the time it was
made the company was not completely registered ;
and, secondly, that at the time the plaintiff made
his second purchase the share certificates had not
been issued, and therefore it was impossible the de-
fendant could deliver them.
Evidence was adduced to prove that the certificates
were not issued till subsequent to the..date of the
second purchase, and that immediately after they were
issued the defendant tendered his certificates, together
with a deed of transfer, to the plaintiff, who refused
to receive them.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said it was for the jury to
decide whether the certificates were tendered within
a reasonable time after they were issued.
The jury decided in the affirmative, and
The LEARNED JUDGE directed the verdict to be
entered for the defendant, on the plea of illegality as
well as upon the plea of tender.

In the course of the morning Mr. Richardson, of
the firm of Richardson and Son, provision merchants,
Tooley-street, near London-bridge, attended before
Mr. Cottingham to make a complaint of an alleged
nuisance existing in the vaults under their pre-
mises.

Applicant said, that for some weeks a horrible
stench had arisen from the vaults underneath their
premises, so much so that the health of themselves as
well as the neighbours was much endangered. There
were five vaults underneath the house, which are in
possession of Mr. Fenning, of Fenning's wharf, but
by him let to another person, who dealt in salt pork.
Finding that the effluvia did not abate, but rather
increased, he sent for his plumber, Mr. Brighton, of
Tooley-street, who went and examined the vaults.
They then found that the smell arose from barrels of
diseased pork. The stench was sooverpowering from
one of the vaults, that neither himself nor Mr. Brighton
was able to enter it.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 18.
(Sittings in Banco.)
ENTWISLE AND OTHERS V. DENT.

The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this
case. The Court considered that the verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed ought to be re-
duced ; but, instead of making the rule absolute, he
thought it would be better fbr the parties to appear
before the Judge and arrange as to what amount the
verdict should be reduced.

Sir F. KELLY suggested that the Court should
settle Lhe amount, as that would avoid considerable
(lifficu ty which might arise between the parties.
The LORD CHIEF BARON thought that the Learned
Counsel was only anticipating difficulties which might
not arise.

. Mr. COTTINGHAM—DO you really suspect that it
is injurious ? Applicant—l do. The effluvium from
the vaults is so great, that unless it is instantly re-
moved, there could be no telling to what extent their
health may be injured.
Mr. COTTINUHAM—By a recent Act of Parliament
the magistrates have the power to remove such nui-
sances. But, in the first instance, you must apply to
the parish officers, who will send two medical men to
inspect the premises, and sign a certificate to that
effect. They would then bring the occupier of the
vaults before me, when I might order the nuisance to
be instantly removed, or inflict a heavy penalty. I
consider that it is a great pity you did not make com-
plaint before, as the nuisance might have been abated
much sooner.

The COURT would not interfere further in the
matter, and declined to make the rule absolute.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. ELKPCOX.

The COURT delivered judgment in this case. The
question raised was, whether certain lands demised
by will to trustees for the benefit of certain parties,
which were either to be divided, in the discretion of
the trustees, in certain portions to the respective
parties, or be sold, and the proceeds thereof divided,
was liable to pay the legacy duty. The Court were of
opinion that the duty was payable, and the judg-
ment must, therefore, be for the Attorney-General.

Applicant—l thought that it would have been
abated, and that it was only temporary.
Mr. COTTINGRAM—We hear the owner of the pre-
mises is highly respectable;: I should, however,
like to have the occupier of the house before me,
when I have no doubt he will consent to the removal
of the nuisance. The Magistrate then directed
Murray, one of the officers of the Court, to proceed
to the premises with Mr. Richardson, and request the
occupier of the vaults, to return with him.
Murray then left the Court with Mr. Richardson,
and in an hour's time returned with Mr. Fenning. The
officer stated that he had examined the vaults, and as-
certained that there was no truth in Mr. Richardson's
statement. He wanted that gentleman to attend
with Mr. Fenning, but he positively refused.
Mr. COTTINGHAII said that he WAS very much
astonished that a respectable tradesman should come
before him and make such a statement. He had
actually said that he had employed his plumber to
examine the premises, and that the effluvia from one
of the vaults was so great that he dared not enter.
He (the worthy Magistrate) believing that such was
a fact, took the trouble to point out the Act of Par-
liament which gave him power to remove it.
Mr. Fenning said that there certainly had existed
for a short time a slight smell, which was caused by
the removal of some barrels of pork, the brine of
which had become sour, but he could assure the
Magistrate that the meat was quite sweet and good.
A tradesman, carrying on an extensive business as
a pork and provision dealer, attended with Mr. Pen-
ning, and proved that the pork was sweet, although
the brine was a little sour.

Mr. COTTINGHAM said that from Mr. Richardson's
absence it clearly showed that he was wrong. It
was a great pity that he should come into a public
court and make such an exposure, which, if it had
gone forth uncontradicted, might have injured Mr.
Fenning in the estimation of the public. He cer-
tainly must express his disapprobation of his conduct
for making such an erroneous statement. _ _

Mr. Fenning thanked the magistrate and wit]
drew.

LAMBETH.

Joseph Parnell, a little fellow, whore head did not
reach the top of the bar of the felons' dock, in which
he was placed, was charged with stealing eight
sovereigns, belonging to his parents, and Sarah
Walker, a middle-aged female, was also charged with
receiving a part of the money, knowing it to have
been sto!en, and further with unlawfully harbouring
the child. _ _

From the statement of the mother of the youthful
prisoner, which was corroborated by himself, it ap-
peared that on the sth inst. her son absconded, taking
with him eight sovereigns, which herself and husband
had, wi:h the greatest care, saved, and- did not re-
turn until the day before. From questions she had
put to the boy, she elicited that on the day he took
the money he met a boy belonging to the female pri-
soner, end accompanied him home, and from that
time until the day before she harboured him at her
house. It also appeared that in order to disguise
the boy, and prevent the police, who had been made
acquainted with the robbery, from knowing him, the
female prisoner had caused the long curly locks of
the boy to be shorn off, and, further, purchased a
suit of coarse slop clothes and a south-wester, so as
to make his disguise perfect, but on finding that all
his money was gone, she turned him out, and de-
sired him to go about his business. The poor woman,
who seemed almost broken-hearted, said she had
eleven other children, six of whom were younger
than the prisoner, that she worked hard at ironing
from morning till night; that her husband had also
been obliged to work hard to support their large
family; yet the fruits of many years' labour, and that
which they had accumulated by sixpences and shil-
lings at a time, was now gone.
The only defence set up by the female prisoner
was that her boy had brought her fellow-prisoner
home, when the latter said he had got no father or
mother, and that the money was his own.
Mr. ELLIOTT very much regretted the loss of the
prosecutrix, and admitted the robbery was in her
case, and, with so large a family, one of great hard-
ship. He remanded the prisoners until Monday
next, but as the boy was so extremely young, only
ten years, he, on the application of the mother, allowed
Mint° go home to the day of examination.

MoNwr-MslurnT.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 13 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
31. lis. 10i61. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.47 ; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.621, it follows that gold is 0.60 per
cent. dearer in Londoa Than in Paris. By advices frail
Hamburgh the price of fold is 4341 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price 17s. 100. per ounce fo'i
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.91 ; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
13.121, it follows that gold is 1.14 per cent. dearer in
London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at
'New York on London is 1101 per cent., and the par of
exchange between England and America being 109
23-40 per cent., it follows tbat the exchange is 1.18 per
cent. in favour of England. _But, the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the in-
terest must be added to the above difference.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of
public business, and to receive the return of the
election of an alderman for the ward of Tower, io
the room of M. Matthias Prime Lucas, deceased.
The attorney in waiting stated the substance of the
proceedings at the wardmote, which was, that Mr.
T. Q. Finnis had been elected alderman unanimously.
Alderman Finnis was then introduced by Mr.
Simpson and Mr. Clark, and a number of the most
respectable inhabitants of the ward, to the Court.
Mr. SIMPSON said that he and his colleague came
to the Court, accompanied by the elite of the ward of ,
Tower, who were interested in the business of the
day. They regretted and condoled with the Court
upon the death of Alderman Lucas, between whom
and them it had pleased Providence to put an end to
the connexion, and they now attended to introduce
an individual well qualified to fill up the gap made
by the loss of that able and efficient officer. The
ward had, as was meet upon such an occasion, se-
lected one of the most eligible of its men in Mr.
Finnis, than whom no man had ever been more unani-
mously chosen. He was a gentleman of good family
and education, and fit in every respect to be the com-
panion of the aldermen of the City of London. He
was one of the leading members of the trading com-
munity of the ward of Tower, which was so dis-
tinguished for its commercial respectability, and
qualified by experience, and knowledge, and habits,
and manners, to do credit to the choice of the electors.
Mr. CLARK wished to add a few words to what had
been said by Mr. Simpson. Nothing, he assured the
Court, could have been more spontaneous and unani-
mous than the election of Mr. Finnis.—(Cheers.)
He considered the cause of Mr. Finnis had grown up
amongst them. They had seen him for 34 years
rising amongst them, and distinguished for high
moral integrity. Without moral integrity the per-
severing industry, the aptitude for business, and other
qualities for which he was remarkable, would have
been nothing ; but, possessed of all these, no man
could do more credit to the situation which he had
been elected to fill.—(Cheers.)
Alderman Finnis was then sworn at the table, and
all the usual formalities were gone through. The
following gentlemen accompanied the new alderman
on his presentation :—Mr. Deputy Selson and the
common council of the ward, and the ward-clerk,
Mr. Geddes Mackenzie Simpson (proposer), Mr.
L Matthew Clark (seconder), Mr. Joseph Barton, Mr.
Thomas Banning, Mr. John Ruck, sen., Mr. Thomas
Bennett, Mr. James Hunt, the Rev. Mr. Letts, the
Rev. Mr. Hamilton, Mr. R. B. Postal, Mr. Charles
Skipper, Mr. Allen, Thomas Howell, Mr. Keeling,
Mr. Barkley, and Mr. Farrow.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

'We have received papers from the Cape of Good
Hope to the Ist November. They bring no further
news respecting th(l surrender of Sandilla than that
of the 20th December. We take the following from
the Cape Frontier Times of October 26 :
" There is no intelligence from the front, except
that the troops would cross the K2i in a few days,
on their errand to Kreili and Pato. _

" We understand that Mr. J. H. Delport, com-
mandant, will be at Fort Beaufort on the Ist of No-
vember, with a considerable number of Dutch farmers,
for the purpose of co-operating with the troops ih the
lei expedition. Mr. Delport has had assurances of
,upport from several districts, but he fears that in
consequence of a report that, now that Saudilla was
taken, no further movement would be made by the
Government until the arrival of Colonel Smith, fewer
persons will muster than would otherwise have been
the case.

" The so-called rebel chief Sandilla was escorted
to Graham's Town on Sunday afternoon by a detach-
ment of dragoons under command of Captain Bisset.
lie was accompanied by one of his brothers and some
councillors—in all twelve people—who are confined
in a detached building situated in the Drostdy field.
When it was explained to him that an attempt to
escape might bring death upon him, he coolly asked,
' Why he should attempt to escape when he had vo-
luntarily surrendered himself ?' "
The following memorandum is published in the
Cape papers :
" H. M. HIGH COMMISSIONER AND MR. PRETORIUS.
" GOVERNMENT NOTICE.—Her Majesty's High
Commissioner, &c., is pleased to direct the publication
of the annexed memorandum, which has been this
day sent to A. W. Pretorius, Esq., in reply to a letter
addressed by that gentleman to his Excellency, on
the affairs of Natal and the north-eastern frontier.
(By order) " RICHARD WOOSNAM.
" Graham's Town, Oct. 21, 1847.
" MEMORANDUM.—I have read Mr. Pretorius'

letter and its accompaniments with attention. The
perusal of these has only strengthened the resolution
I had previously formed of not attempting to inves-
tigate the matters to which they relate.
" 41 am indeed surprised that Mr. Pretorius, who is
evidently a gentleman of great good sense and strong
reasoning power, should have imagined that such a
step was possible in my present position. He, and
every one else who choose, to think about it, must
know that my duties as Governor of this colony, and
her Majesty's High Commissioner, are so onerous at
the present time, that it is only by exertions which
few men either could or would make that I can get
through them; and, therefore, to add to those duties
such an inquiry (admitting I saw ground for it), as
Mr. Pretorius' letter called for, would be perfect
mockery. Besides this 'primary, and in my eyes
sufficient reason, it is now understood that I am
shortly to leave this colony, and therefore I should
deem it to be only delicate and proper to leave a mat •
ter of this serious nature, which must occupy months
in references, Ste., to the discretion of my successor.
" I observe that Mr. Pretorius strongly urges the
necessity for the inquiry not being ex parte. I should
be glad to know how it could possibly be otherwise
at this time. Mr. West is not on the spot to explain
his views, and even his dispatches, written since my
arrival, have been sent to Cape Town. Moreover, I
have had no time to look narrowly into what hap-
pened at Natal before I came to the colony.
"4 I have had dispatches from the Lieutenant-
Governor of so late a date as the 27th last month, and
am able to detect from memory some important
discrepancies between their contents and what is set
forth by Mr. Pretorius, especially regarding Panda's
convention with the emigrant Boers and others. I
do not mean to insinuate that Mr. Pretorius has in-
tentionally distorted facts, but were I to give implicit
belief to his statements, I should be obliged to
acknowledge, at least tacitly, that I doubted those of
his bonnier the Lieutenant-Governor.
"'I however ascribe those discrepancies chiefly to
differences of opinion. Mr. West does not at all
wish to conceal his policy. He writes to me as he
proclaims to the world, and all his acts and measures
`are specially submitted to her Majesty's Government.
%Ir. Pretorius must know, from his practical acquaint-
ance with the nature of all Governments, that, even
supposing I saw cause for doing so, I could not set
Mr. West's acts aside without calling for his rea-
sons. He may be quite right, though I may
differ from him. Look at the discordant, and, in
many cases, absurd views and opinions entertained
and put forth in this colony respecting the Kafir war.
One adviser recommends the immediate demand of the
surrender of all the Kafir chiefs (from whom is not
stated), and their being sent to St. Helena, as state
prisoners. Another suggests my treating the Kafirs
as Lord Hardinge did the Seikhs (a nation with a
standing army of 100,000 men, and and a revenue of
six or seven millions of pounds sterling), and sub-
stituting the word cattle for rupees, in other terms
requiring them to pay 1,500,000 head of cattle. A
third advises my taking possession of all the country
as far as Delogoa Bay, and a fourth confines himself'
to extending that conquest so as to include Natal,
and the expulsion or extermination of all the present
native population.

" 'ladduce these recent instances to show how
men allow their judgment to be carried away by a
favourite theory. I am far from meaning to apply
those instances to Mr. Pretorius personally, but he
has his plan and so has Mr. West, and no one can or
should hastily pronounce on them.

" If Mr. Pietorius wishes it, I will send copies of
his papers to her Majesty's Secretary of State, and
also to his honour the Lieutenant-Governor of
Natal. They will of course be put into the hands
of my successor. _

" see Mr. Pretorious complains of my declining
to see him. I think he will be convinced, when he
reads this paper, that my doing so would have been of
no use. I cannot devote time to personal interviews,
and, besides, it has been a rule with me through a
long public life, that written communications are to
be preferred, as utterly obviating misunderstandings.
In no part of the globe is that rule more necessary
than in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope.
" With respect to the complaints of the emigrant
Boers, and other persons residing beyond the north-
eastern frontier, I may remark that I had long de
tertnined to visit, the moment my other duties would
allow me, that part of the country, for the purpose of
inquiring personally into the conflicting accounts and
contradictory statements which are contained in the
voluminous papers transmitted to me from Cape Town,
forming a very large volume, but of course this de-
termination is no longer feasible, and all I can do is
to recommend the matter to the early attention of my
successor.
