LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 14.
(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster Hall.)
Their Lordships entered the Court this morning at
the usual hour, and proceeded to dispose of the " New
Trial Paper."

tion, as I cannot obtain satisfaction of the Ministers, and am
apprehensive that I shall be brought before you. I have
been promised attention to my claims many times from all
the Ministers, but those promises have been unattended with
any result.
Mr. BuatnrLL—What claims? Dr. Quail—They are for
seventeen years' pay and pension for services to Greece,
Poland, and Portugal. 25,000/. per annum is accredited to
this Government from Portugal to pay the Legion, to which
I belong, and of which I have never received a fraction, and
have been engaged diplomatically since 1833 to establish the
claims. There is credit open upon the revenue of Greece,
upon which I have a claim of 15,000/., since 1829, whilst the
Government are also indebted to me in the amount of 50/.
a year, for eight years from Poland. The British Parlia-
ment accords 12,000/. a year to pay the Polish refugee army,
but I have not been paid any subsidy since 1837.
Dr. Quail was proceeding, when—
Mr. BURRELL stopped him by observing, "This is not a
matter, sir, which I can entertain."
Dr. Quail—The repeated promises with respect to these
claims have never been fulfilled.

Mr. BURRELL —I have nothing whatever to do, sir, with
matters of this description.
Dr. Quail, however, proceeded, and after urging with much
earnestness what he, no doubt, considered the strong points
of his case, added, I wish for a warrant, sir, against the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, that he may be brought before you to
discuss the motive for my being deprived of my rights.
Mr. BURRELL (smiling)—oh no, I could not think of doing
that. There is not the slightest ground for entertaining
such an application.
Dr. Quail—But the Ministers are amenable to the laws as
well as ourselves.

Mr. tunnELL—That may be, but certainly na in the
way you propose. I must repeat, I have nothing to do, sir,
with such matters.

Dr. Quail Wain went on to urge Lis claims, until the pa-
tience of the worthy magistrate vvas almost exhausted; and,
after repeatedly assuring th' applicant that the case was one
in which he could not interfere, withdrew, as did soon after
the learned doctor.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Michael Mallow, the man who stands charged with utter-
ing several forged cheques, drawn in the name of Mr. Henry
Timpson, a gentleman of property residing near South-
ampton, and made payable at the banking-house of Sir
Richard C. Glynn and Co., in Lombard-street, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Bingham, for re-examination.
Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, Solicitors to
the Bankers' Society, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr.
Heritage attended for the defence.
It will be recollected that in the course of last year the
prisoner had presented cheques similar to those now under
investigation to Mr. Hubble, a licensed victualler, at Upper
Clapton, in payment of arders he had given on account of a
lady named Tait, residing in that neighbourhood, and a near
relative of the prosecutor, and the whole of which cheques
had always previously been paid. On the 24th of December
last, however, he purchased a bottle of brandy of that wit-
ness, in the name of Mrs. Tait, for which he paid with a
10!. cheque upon Messrs. Glyn and Co., purporting to be
drawn in favour of a Mr. William Tiny& n, and to be signed
by Mr. Henry Timpson, the prosecutor, and this cheque,
upon afterwards being presented at the banking-house, was
pronounced to be a forgery.

After much formal evidence had been adduced, tracing the
transit of the cheque through numerous hands until it was
finally stopped at Messrs. Glyn's,
The prosecutor, Mr. Hebry Thomas Timpson, was exa-
mined, and stated that he had for some years kept an account
with that firm, and always been in the habit of driwing his
cheques upon blank paper, similar to the cheque produced,
several of which he had transmitted during the last twelve-
month to Mr. William Timpson, of Morden College, Black
heath, a first cousin of his, and also to Mrs. Tait, of Upper
Clapton, the daughter of that gentleman. The cheque now
produced was not in his handwriting, and he had never au-
thorised any one to sign it in his behalf. The prisoner was
an entire stranger to him, and he had never seen him, to the
best of his recollection, until that day.
Mrs. Louisa Tait, the wife of Mr. Monkhonse Tait, of Up-
per Clapton, stated that about the latter end of February,
1844, her father was residing near her, and being very infirm
and helpless, had employed the prisoner and his wife, who,
with, their family, were in great distress, the one as nurse
and the other as confidential servant and occasional amanu-
ensis, he being unable himself to write, in consequence of
being affected with gout in the hands. He had been in the
habit of receiving cheques from the prosecutor, but never
employed the prisoner to get cash for any of them, and had
neither on the day in question authorised him to procure
brandy in her name, nor seen the cheque produced, until it
was returned from the bankers and declared to be a forgery.
The prisoner, by the advice) of his solicitor, reserved his
defence, and was fully committed for trial upon this charge.
A second case was then gone into, in which the prisoner
had, on or ab:ut the 16th of December, uttered a cheque for
the same amount as in the former case, and the circumstances
connected with which were almost identical with those at-
taching to the first.
The testimony, in both eases, having been reduced to de-
positions, and read over in the presence of the prisoner, Mr.
Heritage applied for the sanction of the magistrate to inspect
certain letters and documents which had been discovered in
the house of the prisoner, and which he was of opinion would
form essential evidence in the conduct of the defence he was
instructed to set up in behalf of his client, the substance of
which was, that the charge was the result of a conspiracy by
two other persons, who were, in fact, the parties really guilty
of the forgeries, and in whose hands the prisoner had been a
mere unconscious instrument in carrying out their practices.
Mr. Bush said that he had no objection to allow the
Learned Gentleman free access to any papers he might wish
to consult in preparing his defence; and the Magistrate
ordered the police, in whose custody they were, to afford
him every facility for that purpose.
Mr. Bush then stated, that in addition to the charges
already established against the prisoner, there were two other
distinct cases of uttering similar forged ,cheques, which he
expected to be able to bring clearly home to the accused, but
he should require further time to collect the evidence neces-
sary for their completion.
The prisoner was accordingly fully committed for trial on
both the charges now gone into, and ordered to be brought
up again next week to answer any others that may be pre-
ferred.

IRELAND.
LAW APPOINTMENTS.

DUBLIN, JAN. 11.—Amongst the rumours afloat is
one that Baron Lefroy is to be transferred to the Rolls'
Court, and that Mr. Blackburne, the present Master of
the Rolls, is to get the Chief Justiceship of the Queen's
Bench. This would cause a vacancy amongst the puisne
Barons of the Exchequer, which it is not at all likely
the present Attorney-General would accept. As term
begins to-morrow, we shall probably have an official an-
nouncement of the appointments.
THE BISHOP OF CASHEL AND WATERFORD.
Dr. Daly, Lord Bishop of Cashel and Waterford, has
addressed the following letter to the Waterford Chronicle.
His Lordship contradicts the statement of Colonel Jones,
saying that he had presented a gift of 80,0001 to his
nephew, and announces the interesting fact that he will
soon cease to be a bachelor
"TO THE EDITOR OF THE WATERFORD CHRONICLE.
"The Bilton Hotel, Dublin, 9th January, 1846.
" Sir,—My attention has just been directed to a para-
graph copied by most of the Dublin journals from your
paper, stating, that on the occasion of the marriage of
the Honourable Miss A'Court, daughter of the Lord.
Lieutenant, with the Hon. Mr. Daly, son of Lord Dun-
candle, the Bishop of Cashel, uncle of the bridegroom,
bestowed upon his nephew the splendid gift of 80,000/.'
" Now, Sir, I beg you will take the earliest oppor-
tunity to disabuse the public mind of such an error. I
bestowed no such sum of money, or any pecuniary gift
whatever, upon my nephew.
" I am by no means so rich as to have so much funded
property at my disposal, and as I don't always intend to
remain a bachelor bishop' (the polite phrase applied to
me by the Dublin Pilot, commenting on your mis-state-
ment), I should not deem it prudent to be so liberal to
my kinsmen as you would fain make the public believe.
" I have to apologise for this intrusion of, my private
affairs and family arrangements, which is quite involun-
tary on my part, and have the honour to be, Sir, your
obedient humble servant, "ROBERT CASHEL."
ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING IN DROGHEDA.
The Drogheda Argus contains the following:—" The
inhabitants of Drogheda are about to give a most im-
portant demonstration; of their opinions relative to the
unnatural tax upon food. A requisition, bearing the
signature of his Grace the Catholic Primate of Ireland,
all the Catholic clergy of the parish, nearly all the mem-
bers of the corporation, besides merchants, traders, and
mechanics of the town, has been presented to' Patrick
Boylan, Eqi., our mayor, praying him to convene a
public meeting, on the earliest day possible, for the pur-
pose of petitioning Parliament for the total and imme-
diate repeal of the corn-laws. We believe every member
of the corporation would have signed the requisition if
there had been time to call on the few whose names are
not appended, before the document was presented to the
mayor. His worship has fixed on Monday, the 19th
instant, as the day upon which the meeting is to be
held."
AGRARIAN CRIME IN LIMERICK AND CLARE.
The Limerick Chronicle of Saturday contains the fol-
lowing. That Tory journal manifestly endeavours to
make the worst of the disturbances :
" It is melancholy to contemplate the lawless disorga-
nised state of the rural districts, where no respectable
family is safe from aggression and outrage. The indus-
trious farmer, with a patch of five or ten acres, is equany
obnoxious with the country gentleman who may bald
one hundred or more of land, and the laborious peasseful
cotter, who contrives to subsist his poor family on an
acre of potato garden, is not safe from intimidation and
violence, unless he connive at, or personally aid the
league of disaffected ruffians who now traverse the
country night and day, from Tipperary to Li-
merick and Clare, in search of their victims.
The first and great object of these miscreants is
to possess themselves of fire-arms at any hazard,

doubt or denial. We find it obviously manifest in
every case. Few country gentlemen's houses within
some miles of Limerick are safe from attack, unless
locked and barricadoed immediately at night-fall, and the
families are then shut up, like lonely prisoners, in their
silent mansion until the hour of day-break, when the
barriers are cautiously withdrawn. One highly respect-
able man of rank, a grand juror and magistrate in our
vicinity, whose character as a landlord is far above re
proach, left his country seat this week to reside in the
metropolis, sooner than be exposed to such harassing
annoyance of his domestic circle, however necessary the
precautions against midnight marauders and armed as-
sassins.

" Upwards of 500 fellows assembled yesterday (Friday)
morning on Sir Capell Molyneux's lands, Knocksentry,
to prevent the service of ejectments. They fired shots
to intimidate the bailiff and his assistants. This
great multitude kept watch-fires lighting on the ground
all night, and discharging several shots, to apprise the
civil authorities of their ability and determination to
resist any legal process on this property.
" This afternoon 200 men of the 24th Regiment left
this garrison to dislodge the insurgents from their en-
campment. They were accompanied by a troop of the
13th Light Dragoons.
"Last night the house of James Walsh, of Bird-hill,
was entered by an armed party, who, after firing a shot,
threatened him with death if he distrained for 'the rent
due to his employer, Mr. Atkins.

" Yesterday-, as Mr. James Shea, bailiff to the Rev.
Thomas Westropp, Terry Mahony, and other assistants,
wore serving ejectments on the bog of Gardenhill, near
Castlecennell, they were encountered by a large armed
