JOSEPH ADY AGAIN.

On Friday, Joseph Ady was brought up in custody
of police• constable 57 H, and placed before Mr. Ballan-
tine at the Thames Police-court, on a charge of obtain-
ing 20s. by a false pretence, from Mr. Henry Bourne,
Vice-President of the inland department of the General
Post-office.

Mr. Bourne stated, that on the 27th ult., he received
one of Joseph Ady's circulars, which represented that
the writer could inform him of something to his advan-
tage, value 1001. and upwards, on receipt of 20s. for his
costs and trouble. He replied by letter to this commu-
nication, that he had no objection to pay the fee de-
manded, provided Ady engaged to return the money if
he did not derive the advantages held out, or some ad-
vantage equivalent to the sum paid. In consequence of
that reply, a person waited upon him with a letter, con-
taining several lithographed papers, lists of next of kin,
extracts of Acts of Parliament, and other matters, with
various references to Sir Peter Laurie and the Lord
Mayor, and said he was deputed by Ady to ask for 205.,
and when that sum was paid, Mr. Ady would give the
required information. Witness declined to pay the
money then, but subsequently waited upon Ady at his
own house, and was accompanied by his son. He
asked Ady for the information, and paid him
a sovereign, for which Ady filled up a litho-
graphic form of receipt, with a view of the
Bank of England on the top of it. The receipt, which the
witness put in, was read by Mr. Ballantine as follows :
" Received of H. Bourne, this 16th day of November,

1840, the sum of 208., as a consideration for my costs
and trouble in obtaining the information, ;which fee I
engage to return§ on its being satisfactorily shown that
no benefit results amounting to 1,0001. and upwards."—
(Laughter.) After Ady had given the receipt, he asked
him for the information. Ady replied, " No, I never give
it verbally, friend." He inquired why he objected to do
so, to which he replied, that he always sent his infor-
mation by post, and that he could not tell whether pro-
secutor was the person he represented himself to be;
and if he gave him the information he might obtain pro-
perty to which he was not entitled. On the following
day a letter,.containing an enclosure, was left at his re-
sidence by a private hand. The enclosure was a litho-
graphic statement that a certain assurance society was an
illegal one, because clerks in orders were connected with
it, and advised him to get rid of his interest in it as soon
as possible.—(Laughter.) '
Mr. Ballantine—Are you a clerk in holy orders? Mr.
Bourne—No, Sir.
Mr. Ballantine—Did you ever derive any benefit from

the society in question?.
Mr. Bourne said he held several life policies in the
society, which was a flourishing one; and published its
accounts annually. There were clerical directors and
clerical members, of high respectability, connected with
the society.
In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, the prosecutor
said he derived no benefit at all from the information.
He admitted that the condition on which he paid the
money was, that it was to be returned if the information
was not advantageous.
Mr. Pelham was proceeding to put some further ques-
tions, when Mr. Bourne said he did not expect such a
mode of examination would be adopted, and that he had
come forward on public grounds.
Mr. Ballantine was satisfied the prosecutor's motives
were good, and said the solicitor had a right to ask the
question he had done.
Mr. Pelham said he would not act with discourtesy to
the prosecutor, but as he had put the prisoner in the
dock as a criminal, he must prove him to be one if he
could. He asked Mr. Bourne if any time was specified
for the return of the money if the information was use-
less.
Mr. Bourne said there was not. He demanded the
return of the money by letter, and that failing, he went
to Ady's residence that day, and made a personal de-
mand of 205., and not being able to obtain it, he gave
Ady into costody. He was promised information worth
1,000/. and upwards. The information he got was worth
nothing.
Mr. Ballantine found that Ady quoted several Acts of
Parliament relating to clerical gentlemen holding shares
in joint-stock companies, and finding the prosecutor
belonged to a society, advised him to sell out. The case
was in a nutshell •, was there a false pretence or not ?
Mr. Pelham submitted there was no false pretence.
The question was whether the information already given
was worth' 20s. or not ; it was known to all the world
that 20s. was Ady's free for giving information. Ady
had already furnished the gentleman with information,
and more was to be decided in futuro. There was no
particular time agreed upon ; it might be a week, or a
-month, or a year, before Ady would be enabled to afford
the information which was to be advantageous to the
prosecutor.
Mr. Ballantino said this was not a case of false pre-
tence.
Mr. Bourne said he had a charge of assault to prefer
against Ady, who forced him out of his room when he
demanded his money, and Mr. Ballantine said he might
have a summons ; but he was subsequently advised by
Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, to defer his application.
Mr. Ballantine said the prosecutor could summon Ady
to the Court of Requests for the money.—Ady was then
discharged.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of November 20.)

SNGAR.—To day there were sellers of all inferior and
brown descriptions of West India upon further reduced terms,
making the fall compared with last Friday Is. per cwt ;
nevertheless few buyers were to be met with, and some
parcels were pressed for sale, but the better kinds of yellow
and grey were wanted, and full rates offered, but few parcels
could be obtained. The quantity of all sorts sold to-day
was only 160, making the total sales for the week 910 hlids
and trcs. r • .
REFIWZD.—The supply continuing to increase causes the
refiners to be free sellers, and they submitted to further re-
duced rates for all descriptions; the home trade, however,
in consequence," have been induced to direct their attention
more to Refined Sugar, and a good business has been trans-
acted. .
Manarrius.—This afternoon at public sale 5,703 bags of
Mauritius Sugar were offered, and chiefly sold at and after
the sale; good and fine yellow kinds fetched the full value,
but inferior and brown sold is per cwt cheaper.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar
offered at public sale amounted to 2,872 bags and 10 casks,
and nearly the whole sold. White and strong yellow sorts,
of which the chief part consisted, fetched very fall rates, but
other sorts sold 6d to is lower.

COCHINEAL is wanted, and at public sale this afternoon 68
bags of Honduras Silvers and 14 bags of Black were offered,
and all sold at stiffer rates, the former low to good at 4s 6d
to 5s 3d, and the latter 5s 9d to 5s Ild for ordinary and
middling.
Cocoa.—West India has been more sought after, but
holders not being sellers at previous rates operated against
business, and 640 bags of Trinidad at auction only in part
sold. For Foreign Cocoa the market has a dull appearance,
and late rates cannot be obtained. •

COFFEE.—This afternoon none of any kind was offered at
public sale, and privately there was scarcely any demand
from exporters or the home trade. The worth of good ordi-
nary pale Native Ceylon is only 37s to 38s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 17 boxes of Havan-
nah sold at 44s 6d for brown-228 hhds 5 trcs 2 brls of Cuba
Muscovado, midi yellow 46s 6d to 47s 6d,- low 45s to 465,
good brown 445, inferior 42s 6d, being rather cheaper; 48 bxs
white Cuba sold at 58s to 58s 6d, one lot inferior 51s, washed
578 6d, and 74 bxs yellow ditto, good 50s to 52s middling 48s
to 49s 6d, being full rates.
RlCE.—There has been less desire manifested to operate in
Bengal this week, and there are sellers upon rather lower
terms, still only small parcels have changed hands by pri-
vate contract ; 3,170 bags at auction yesterday were all
taken in rather above the value.
SPICEL—To-day at public sale 80 bags of Pimento were
taken in at 4%d for good ; 161 casks of limed Nutmegs from
Madeira were only in part sold at 3s ld to 3s 2d for second
sort, which is rather lower; two cases of brown Penang,
good 3s 7d, and slightly mouldy 3s ; 3 casks Amboyna Cloves
withdrawn ; 5 chests Mace were taken in, fine red 38 Bd, and
good 3s 4d per lb.
Srutrrs.—lmporters of Jamaica Rum evince firmness, and
insist upon fully previous rates for all descriptions; there has
been a brisker demand this week,chiefly from the home trade.
Leeward Island is wanted at 2s 7d to 2s 8d per gallon, proof
strength, but few parcels are to be had. There are several
buyers of East India, upon previous improved terms. but the
stock in first hands is nearly exhausted. Demerara is in
short supply, and being wanted, prices rule firm at 3s 3d to
3s 8d for strong sorts. Brandy has met with little attention.
INDIGO.—The market has an improving appearance for all
descriptions of East India. Bengal has been in good demand
for exportation, and the home trade have been purchasers to
a fair extent ; the rates paid have been equal to those of the
last quarterly sale to 2d per lb advance. Of Madras several
parcels found purchasers at a rise in the full value of 2d to
3d. Other kinds have been in fair demand at October rates
to a small advance.
SALTPETRE.—HoIders have refused to submit to any fur-
ther reduction in prices, but the home and export demand at
present is limited for all qualities, and 1,950 bags of Calcutta
at auction were only in part sold at the previous currency
British Refined is still in excellent request at 29s 6d to 30s.
Nitrate of Soda is wanted, and prices are firm at 17s 6d to
18s per cwt.
Ons.—This afternoon at public sale 29 casks
oil
only partly sold at 36s to 38s; 94 pkgs 20 tons Cochin
3 s
co
o f Ps
aCI on h
Cocoa Nut went at 42s to 42s 3d for fine, and low at 33s

PORTRAIT OF SHAILSPERE.—A picture which is
believed by some, well qualified to judge, to he a con-
temporary portrait of the great bard, has come into the
possession of the excellent Bishop of Ely. It was found
in an obscure broker's shop, where nothing could be
learnt of its previous history: it has no name on it, but
cleaning has made apparent in one part, " At. 39, 1603,"
which agrees with the 'age of Shakspere in that year.
We have not yet seen the picture, and cannot at once,
after so many disappointments, give implicit credence
to the statement; what we know, however, of those who
have examined the portrait, and of the judgment of the
Right Rev. Bishop himself, induces us to believe it will
be found correct, and that a great discovery has indeed
been made.—The Builder.

EAST AND WEST YORKSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

they were happy to say that those hopes were fully
alined 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
defaulters, but who yet were able to pay., During the
last six months there had been no expenses whatever in
the conduct of the;conipany—(Cheers)—and it now only
remained to wind up their concern according to law.
A SHAREHOLDER inquired why the letter announcing
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 list ; but 'sax
announcement had been forwarded
stating that it was ready, and might

There were several sums still to be obtained, some of
them of magnitude, and as the negotiations were almost
ripe for conclusion, he believed that it would be better
to say nothing further upon the subject.
Mr. lirrcumvs inquired what was the amount received
since the last meeting?
The CHAIRMAN said, that the whole of the money re-
ceived was 13,1771. 14s. ld.
Mr. HITCHENB then expressed his satisfaction at the
conduct of the directors.
A SHAREHOLDER then inquired what was the
spect for the future.
The CHAIRMAN replied that if the business 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 their deed of
settlement, and bring the business to a conclu-
sion at next usual half-yearly meeting. Of
one thing he had the satisfaction to inform
the meeting, and that was, that nothing would for the
future be taken out of their pockets, but in all probabi-
lity something would be returned to them.—(Hear.)
Thanks were then voted to the directors and the
chairman especially. The latter returned thanks, and
the meeting was dissolved. .

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 20.
REYNELL V. LEWIS.

The Attorney-General having obtained a rale nisi for
a new trial in this case, on the ground of misdirection,
Mr. Knowles, Mr. Crampton, and Mr. Willes, appeared
to show cause against the rule.
The plaintiff was an advertising agent, and sought to
recover a sum of money alleged to be due to him for
advertisements in connexion with the Central Kent Rail-
way. The defendant was a provisional committeeman of
the railway in question.
The alleged misdirection was, that there was no evi-
dence to go to the jury to bring home liabilities to the
defendant; neither was there any evidence to show that
he had ever attended a meeting of the provisional com-
mittee.

Mr. KNOWLES now contended that there was ample
evidence to go to the jury, and the fact of the defendant
having been a member of the provisional -cominittee,
made him a partner in the concern and liable for the
expenses incurred until an Act of incorporation was
obtained ; and when that Act was obtained, then
each member of a provisional committee was to be con.
sidered as a partner with the other shareholders. In
the preliminary expenses of establishing the scheme the
provisional committee was nothing more than a partner-
ship for the purpose of carrying out a certain object, and
each member was to be bound by the decision of the
majority. •
Mr. Baron PARKE—In the case of a provisional com-
mittee of twelve persons, seven of whom were for incur-.
ring certain expenses, would their decision bind the
minority?
Mr. KNOWLES—I apprehend it would, my Lord.
Mr. Baron PARKE—I do not think it would have that
effect.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If such committee should pro-
ceed to incur these expenses in the manner they always
do, namely, leading people to suppose that the committee
were unanimous upon such a point, in that case the
nority would be clearly liable, unless they took the pre-
caution to let it be known that they dissented from mob.
proceedings.
Mr. Baron PARKE—Certainly.
In the course of the argument of Mr. Willes
Baron ALDERSON wished to know whether it was not
the custom of some advertising agents to select those
papers for advertising which allowed them the largest
amount of profit, without reference to the circulation or
quality of the paper ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--It was so stated upon the
trial • in the present case, he believed, a large numbex
had been inserted in the defunct Iron Times.

Mr. MIXES proceeded with his arguments at some
Length.

The Attorney-General was about to reply, when
The COURT intimated that, in consequence of the
lateness of the hour, the further hearing of the case had:
better be postponed till to-morrow.
