WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Henry William Wilson, landlord of the De Beau-
voir Arms Tavern, Kingsland, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Bingham, on the charge of furious driving,
and assaulting the police when they attempted to se-
sure him.

The case was clearly proved ; and, it appeared, that
when a policeman attempted to secure the prisoner, the
latter dashed him back against a lamppost, and being
grappled with, both fell heavily upon the pavement. The
prisoner then forced his knuckles beneath the police-
man's stock, and held him so tightly that he was almost
strangled, but, with the assistance of several other con-
stables, the prisoner was ultimately overpowered, and
conveyed to the station.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he had
been dining with some friends, and was quite uncon-
scious of having committed himself in the manner de-
scribed by the witness.
Mr. BINGHAM said, that he made it an invariable rule,
when persons in affluent circumstances were brought
before him for the commission of outrages of this de-
scription, to commit them at once to prison without the
imposition of any pecuniary penalty, which would, in
fact, merely amouct to a nominal punishment ; and, as
he saw no reason whatever to depart from that course on
the present occasion, he should convict the prisoner of
the assault upon the constable, and sentence him to be
committed therefore to the House of Correction for the
term of seven days.
In the course of the afternoon three solicitors attended
in C-urt in succession, by two of whom an earn- st ap-
peal was made to the Magistrate on behalf of the pri-
soner, to procure a remission of the judgment, and the
imposition of a fine instead, but Mr. Bingham was in•
exorable, and the prisoner was conveyed to his desti-
nation.

NEWCASTLE.

Mr. LEIGH applied to the Court t 9 allow this appeal,
which stands two out of this day's paper of appeals, to
stand over to the first day of appeals after term.
The Loan CHANCELLOR was afraid that the result of
granting these applications to postpone the hearing of
appeals would be, that he should have nothing to
on with.

Mr. COOPER observed, that his Lordship had got
through his appeals with such rapidity, that he was
afraid he would not have sufficient to constitute a paper
of appeals for to-morrow.
The LORD CHANCELLOR ultimately directed that the
appeal should stand over to the time asked.

ANSLEY V. COTTON.

This case came before the court on appeal from the
decision of the Master of the Rolls. The bill was filed
by a lady named Sophia Ansley, and her children,
against the defendant, the executor of a. lady named
Cotton, who by her will left to the plaintiff a sum of
6,0001., and the question in the case was whether under
that will the plaintiff was entitled to the amount free of
legacy duty. The Master of the Rolls decided that she
was, and from that decision the present appeal was
brought.
Mr. COOPER and Mr. LEWIS were in support of the
appeal, and
Mr. WOOD and Mr. CRAIG upheld the judgment of the
Court below.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion the
Master of the Rolls was right., and dismissed the appeal.

THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AHHERST.

The remainder of the day was occupied with the ar-
guments in this case, which came before the Court upon
a petition of re-hearing, from the decision of his Honour
the Vice-Chancellor of England. The arguments had
not concluded when the Court rose.

ROLLS' COURT, hoe. 17.
PERRY V. MEADOWCROFT.
Mr. Turner concluded his arguments, and was fol-
lowed on the same side by Mr. Hemsley.
Mr. WALPOLE replied.
At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's address,
His LORDSHIP delivered judgment, in the course of
which he went through the facts of the case, and dc-
aided that the exceptions should be overruled.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 17.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
PARKIN V. BANDERSON.—INJUNCTION.

Mr. STUART applied to-day in this case for a special
injunction, to restrain the defendants, who are the repre
sentatives and the executors de son tort of the late Mr.
Sanderson, who carried on au extensive business in
Sheffield, from carrying on that business, or collecting in
the assets, and also for a receiver. The bill was filed
by the creditors, and as it was alleged the present appli-
catian became necessary to secure the payment of their
debts.

The COURT granted the injunction.
The Court then proceeded to hear demurrers and
further directions, none of which contained any points
calling. for particular notice.

OFFICIAL DIS PA TCHES..

Head (;carters, Camp, Buffalo I'oort,
Aug. 28, 1846.
His Excellency the Governor and Commander-in-
Chief publishes the following dispatches, relating to ope-
rations in the \Viudvogelberg, in which the conduct of
Captain Hogg who commanded, and of the officers and
men employed in those operations, bus been highly sa-
tisfactory :

FortCox,Aug. 25, 1146, 10 A.M.

Sir,—l have much satisfaction in transmitting to you
for the Commander-in-Chief's information, a letter just
recived from Captain Hogg, detailing his operations on
the Windvogclberg, with the force which I datached
from this post under that officer's command, on tile 16th
instant. _

Captain Hogg having communicated with Mr: Fynn
at the Tarka, it was agreed that a force consisting of as
many of the 45th as could be spared, with a mixture of
Fingoes and Kama's Kafirs, with the Boers under Field-
Commandant Protorious, should proceed from the Tarka
side to co-operate with. Captain Hogg's force, and to be
joined by the Klip Plat Hottentots from Shiloh.
Captain Seagram, of the 45th, having been joined in
the morning by Field-Commandant Van Wyk, pro.
ceeded at once to the kraal where the murderers of Mr.
Aldum resided, killed nine Kalira, and destroyed it,
taking 200 head of cattle. Next day Captain Seagram
proceeded towards Mapassa's kraal, having been on that
day joined by Field-Commandant Pretorius. This party
had a smart skirmish with the enemy, killing several of
them, and putting the rest to flight. The Klip Hat Hot-
tentots and Fingoes, who had received orders to station
themselves between the two forces, disobeyed that order-
and went to plunder, attacking some Kafir kraals, kill-
ing fourteen of the enemy, and taking several cattle ats
horses. Tho consequence of their disobedience. of the
order they received, and having betaken themselves
.to.
plunder as stated, was their being attacked in thiss-
porsed state by a number of Katirs, and, after a sharpth
fight, driven back to Shiloh, with the loss of thirteen or
their number and nearly all the cattle they had taken.
Several of the enemy also fell in this affair.
Captain Hogg having entered the Riot River Valley
with his force, succeeded in capturing four thous and
head of cattle, killing six of the enemy, and proceAed
next morning a ith the captured cattle to Shiloh. (Zap.
thin nogg speaks in terms of high approbation a uLe
conduct of the parties under Lieutenant Hunter of t,14,
Swellendam Native Infantry, and Field-Comman,.tan t
Van Wyk, who, after a sharp fight, killed thirty of the
enemy.

Captain Hogg having united his force to that of Cap. •
tain Seagram, returned to Shiloh—the whole of then
operations having been successfully and well executed v I
the space of five days from the departure of the fora a
under the former officer from Fort Cox.

in alarming those residing in the house, others were
dispatched for the engines. In a short time the Well-
close-square brigade engine, as well as that from
Jeffries-square and several other stations, were taken to
the fire, and a very good supply of water having been
obtained ready for the use of the firemen, the hater's
exertions proved successful, confining the damage to the
lower part of the premises. The proprietor is believed
i to be insured against the loss occasioned, the, cause of

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

CIEUENTS v. FLIGHT.
In this case, which came before the Court on demurrer
to a plea of non-detinet, the plaintiff sought to recover
possession of certain scrip shares and certificates depo-
sited by him with the defendant as collateral security
for the payment of an advance of a sum of money
amounting to 7001., to be returned to the plaintiff upon
repayment of the above sum. The declaration set forth
that the defendant bath and does detain the property in
question. The plea of the defendant was to the effect,
that the defendant did tender to the plaintiff the pro-
perty in question, upon receiving payment of the sum
advanced upon it, but that the plaintiff refused to ac-

cept it.
It was now contended by Mr. Lusit that the defend-
ant's plea was not a sufficient answer to the declaration
in the cause, inasmuch as it did not set forth the reason
of his present holding.
Mr. HOGGINS, on the other hand, contended that the
defendant, having lawfully fulfilled the conditions and
the terms of his contract, in having made the tender of
the goods, was not bound to assign in his plea any
notice of the reason of the goods still being in his pos-
session, it being the fault of the plaintiff which had pre-
vented him from delivering the goods in question.
The COURT took time to consider.

BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY OF
ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND- IRELAND. Two VOLS.—
This valuable work is at length completed, and after
careful examination, from time to time, of its merits, we
have no hesitation in saying that, from its general accu-
racy, and the vast care bestowed upon its compilation
and printing, it will be productive of much and lasting
credit. both to editors and publisher, A work of this
kind is of a national value. Its utility is not merely
temporary, but it will exist and be acknowledged as long
as the families whose names and genealogies are recorded
in it continue to form an integral portion of the English
constitution. As a correct record of descent, no family
should be without it, inasmuch as the information it con-
veys relative to collateral as well as lineal genealogy,
may prove absolutely requisite to establish claims to
rank or property, which so commonly, in the absence of
a lick in the historical evidence, fail to be granted ; and
from its national character, no library, public or private,
can fail to procure it,—Morning Post.

OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.

Head Quarters, Camp, Buffalo Poort,
Kaffraria, Aug. 28, 1846.
His Excellency the Governor and Commander-in-
Chief publishes the following dispatches, relating to ope-
rations in the Windvogelberg, in which the conduct of
Captain Hogg who commanded, and of the officers and
men employed in these operations, has been highly sa-
tisfactory :

Fort Cox, Aug. 25, 1146, 10 A.X.
Sir,—l have much satisfaction in transmitting to you
:or the Commander-in-Chief's information, a letter just
recived from Captain Hogg, detng_ his operations on
the Windvogelberg, with the force which I detached
from this post under that officer's command, on the 16th
instant.
Captain Hog having communicated with Mr. Fynn
at the Tarka, t was agreed that a force consisting of as
many of the 45th as could be spared, with a mixture of
Fingoes and Kftal9:l3 Kafirs, with the Boers under Field-
Commandant Pretorious, should proceed from the Tarka
side to co-operate with Captain Hogg's force, and to be
joined by the Klip Plat Hottentots from Shiloh.
Captain Seagram, of the 45th, having been joined in
the morning by Field-Commandant Van Wyk, pro-
ceeded at. once to the kraal where the tnurderers of Mr.
Aldum resided, killed nine Kafirs, and destroyed it,
taking 200 head of cattle. Next day Captain Seagram
proceeded towards Mapassa's kraal, having been on that
day joined by Field-Commandant Pretorius. This party
had a smart skirmish with the enemy, killing several of
them, and putting the rest to flight. The Klip Plat Hot-
tentots and Fingoes, who had received orders to station
themselves between the two forces, disobeyed that order
and went to plunder, attacking some Kafir kraals, kill-
ing fourteen of the enemy, and taking several cattlof and
horses. e
horses. The consequence of their disobediene
themselves to
order they received, and having betaken
plunder as stated, was their being attacked
dis-
persed state by a number of Kafirs, and,
s i
aftern this
a sharp
had taken
•
fight, driven back to Shiloh, with the loss of thirteen of
their number and nearly all the cattle they`
Several of the enemy also fell in this affa,ir.
Captain Hogg having entered the Riet River Valley
with his force, succeeded in capturing four thousand
head of cattle, killing six of the enemy, and proceeded
next morning with the captured cattle to Shiloh. Cap-
taro Hogg
speaks in terms of high approbation of the
conduct of the parties under Lieutenant Hunter cf the
Swellendam Native Infantry, and Field-Commandant
Van Wyk, who, after a sharp fight, killed thirty of the
enemy.
Captain Hogg having united his force to that of Cap-
tain Seagram, returned to Shiloh—the whole of these
operations having been successfully and well executed in
the space of five days from the departure of the fbree
under the former officer from Fort Cox.

BRITISH' IRON COMPANY.

(THIS DAY.)
The general half-yearly meeting of the Old British
Iron Company was held to-day, at the office% of the
Company, at the South Sea House, Threadneedle-street,
at two o'clock, Sir G. Larpent, Bart., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN then went through the report, the sub-
stance of which was that when the call of 11, per share was
made in February last the directors, hoped that the
amount realised would be sufficient to satisfy all the
claims on the company at that time unliquidated, and
they were happy to say that those hopes were fully re-
alised on the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.) There
were now now no debts owing by the company ; and the
members were merely kept together until the calls made
could be obtained from those who were at present
concern
ueer)—and it now only
to law.
A SHAREHOLDER inquired why the letter announcings according
defaulters, but who yet were able to pay. During the
last six months there bad been no expenses whatever in
remained
cuoinnedductut ofw ittahe
up
ornpany---
their
u
the name of the defaulters had not been sent; round?
The CHAIRMAN said that he thought the ;resolution to
that effect had been hastily passed at the Last meeting,
and on consulting the solicitors of the company, it was
conceived advisable not to circulate the Intt ; but an
announcement had been forwarded to each ste,areholder,
stating that it was ready, and might be seen at the office.
There were several sums still to be obtainedy some of
them of magnitude, and as the negotiations w, ere almost
ripe for conclusion, he believed that it would be be r
to say nothing further upon the subject.
Mr. Ilrrenrss inquired what was the am
ount rev ved
since the last meeting?
The CHAIRMAN said, that the whole of the money re-
ceived was 13,1771. 14s. Id.
Mr. IlrrcHstis then expressed his satisfaction at the
conduct of the directors.
A SHAREHOLDER then inquired what w. as the pro-.
spect for the future.
The CHAIRMAN replied that if the busine; is could be
wound up within six months, a speciel general meeting
would be called for the purpose, but if they could not
succeed in that object they must abide by the ,ir deed of
settlement, and bring the business to ; a conclu-
sion at next usual half-yearly meet ing. Of
one thing ho had the satisfaction to • inform
the meeting, and that was, that nothing woul 'd for the
future be taken out of their pockets, but in all probabi-
lity something would be returned to them.—(Hc tar.)
Thanks were then voted to the directors I tied the
chairman especially. The latter returned than: ts, and
00 meeting was dissolYed.
