THE MARINE GLUE.—Mr. Jeffrey, the patentee'
who is said to have sacrificed his prospect of public
support for the last six years to exclusive exertions in
order to render his marine glue available to the British
navy, appears to have reaped the ordinary reward of
Government benefactors, namely, the consciousness of
having made himself useful, enhanced by " the most
flattering and disinterested testimonials" from influential
parties, together with the most ample acknowledgments
and hopeful
In place of a remuneration equivalent to the admitted
promises from parties still more influential.
benefit and the permanent saving yielded and to be
yielded to the country by the adoption of a glue
admitted to be of " great durability," the Admiralty
have had the penny wise wisdom to offer the patentee,
as their ultimatum, virtually a premium on its adultera-
tion, or a powerful inducement to deprive it of at least 'a
leetle' of its " great durability," in the shape of " a price
per ton for the quantity used,"—an offer equally munifi-
cent as wise, if Government wish to tempt the patentee
to remunerate himself by lowering the intrinsic worth
of the article and its economical value in the public ser-
vice, but certainly not otherwise, since, " from its great
durability, it would yield but a paltry sum towards
anything like a fair compensation for such a public
benefit."—Builder. _

How TO MAKE A BUDGET.—Reckon your expen-
diture half a million too low: reckon your income half a
million too high; the country thus gains one million.
Then take from the income of next year another half
million, and add it to the income of this: the country will
thus have gained a million and a half. Then give up
a half million of projected outlay; and you may take to
yourself the credit of having added two millions to the
national income—if you can get it.—Punch.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 12.

THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS OF WOODS AND

FORESTS.

In this case a rule had been obtained for a man-
damus to issue to the defendants, commanding them
to assess compensation, under the 9th and 10th Vic.,
38. for land taken by them for the purpose of Vic-
toria Park.

Lord DENMAN now delivered judgment. It was
said that the writ did not lie, as it was in substance a
writ to be directed to her Majesty, and therefore not
capable of being enforced. But the Court was of a
different opinion, looking upon the Commissioners as
public officers invested with public duties. There was
another objection, namely, that the Commissioners did
❑ot take possession of the land, but had only given the
applicant notice that it would be required. The
Court thought that there was nothing in this objet
cion, for the notice was equivalent in its effects to
taking possession, since it deprived the party of the
power freely to manage and dispose of his own pro-
perty, and, consequently, he became entitled to com-
pensation. The rule must be absolute.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS, Julyl2.
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)

TUB QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE DUKE OF

BRUNSWICK V. BARNARD GREGORY.

The indictment is one of a series of indictments
3referred by the Duke of Brunswick against the de-
fendant, and was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench
it Westminster-hall, before Mr. Justice Wightman,
and upon which the defendant was found guilty, and,
After a lengthened argument before the full Court in
Trinity Term, 1845, he was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment. A writ of error was afterwards is-
sued, and allowed, and the defendant, as to this in-
dictment, discharged out of custody, having under-
zone two months' incarceration upon the sentence.
The writ of error has several times been before the
judges, and the whole of the arguments of counsel
having lately been heard, the Court took time to
consider their judgment. It was now sought to
amend the sentence and record, by inserting a judg-
ment and sentence on each count contained in the
indictment separately, instead of the judgment and
sentence being as it at present stands, upon the in
dictment generally.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said it was quite clear he
had no power to order the amendments required. The
sentence and the record was the act of the full Court,
and he could not disturb it ; he should, therefore, at
once dismiss the summons.

SECONDARIES' CO U RT, July 12.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
TOWNSEND AND OTHERS V. GHOULS.
This was an action to recover the sum of ill. 45., for
goods sold.
The plaintiffs were paper-hanging manufacturers, in
t✓hiswell-street, and defendant formerly resided in Cul-
lum-street, City. Defendant pleaded that he was not
indebted, but did not appear to support the plea.
It appeared that the goods were delivered so long
ago as 1839, and an action was brought, but defendant
had been lost sight of for some years, but having again
made his appearance the action was revived.
Witnesses who were formerly in the service of the
plaintiffs were called to prove the delivery of the goods;
and the jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.
WHITTEY V. LONG.
This was an action to recover 151. 14s. on a bill of
exchange. Defendant denied the acceptance, although
called upon to admit it by a judge's order.
The ATTORNEYS said they had agreed to a verdict
being entered for the plaintiff, subject to the decision of
the Court above, as to the plaintiff's right to bring his
Action in the Superior Court, but the defendant's attor-
ney said he would not even now admit the acceptance.
The Learned SECONDARY said he could not take a
verdict by consent where one of the issues was left open
in such a manner. He must have evidence of the hand-
writing.
Evidence was then adduced.

The Learned SECONDARY said it was a very salutary
rule, that where a party refused to admit the hand-
writing, he should be liable to costs of proof if against
him, although he might get a general verdict in his
favour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
A respectably-dressed man, who gave his name
Matthew Bell, and said that he resided at No. 16,
Crown-street, Windsor, near Liverpool, was brought
before Mr. Broughton, charged by Inspector Dalby,
Gf the London and North-Western Railway Com-
pany's police, with having travelled in a second-class
carriage from Birmingham to London, and not pay-
ing his fare, the amount of which was 15s.

The offence was proved, and the prisoner, who did
not deny the charge, was asked what he had to say.
He then pulled from his coat pocket a large packet
of letters, from which he was making a selection of
some which referred more particularly to the peculiar
position in which he was placed, in a pecuniary point
of view owing to the non-payment of an alleged just
claim of his upon a foreign power.
Mr. BROUGHTON-It seems from the charge sheet
that you were unable to pay your fare, for you had
no money in your possession. What was your object
in coming up to London ? Prisoner—l come to
seek for justice, and I hope I shall get it. The Rus-
sian Government is indebted to me a very large sum
of money, and I have letters by me in reference
thereto, which I should like you to peruse.
Several letters were handed to Mr. Broughton, by
whom they were read. Two of them were replies
to the prisoner from the secretary of Lord Palmer-
ston, who informed him in one of them that his case
was one in which he (Lord P.) could not interfere,
and in the other it was stated that the claim should
have been made long before. Mr. Hume's reply to
him was that he could do nothing for him himself,
and that his best course would be to apply to the
Members of the borough (Liverpool), who would
judge from any statement which he might make to
them as to whether his case ought to be brought
under the notice of Parliament or not.
Prisoner said that he knew not the exact amount
due to him, but the sum must be now immense ; it
was for cargoes of goods, consisting of tallow, &c.,
supplied by his father to the Emperor Paul, of Rus-
sia, forty years ago ; not long since (added prisoner)
a person to whom the Russian states was indebted
to the amount of 25,0001., under circumstances nearly
similar to my own, obtained payment of every penny
of it, principally through my instrumentality, and
yet my claim remains entirely disregarded, and treated
with contempt.
Mr. Dalby said that, believing the prisoner was la-
bouring under a delusion, the company was not
anxious to press for a committal.

Prisoner--The Railway Company, your Worship,
have almost ruined me ; they have taken from me a
portion of valuable land, and I can't get a single penny
of recompense from them ; my claim for compensation
has been put in, and for a long time there has been a
dispute between the lawyers as to what I ought to
have ; while this is going on I am left almost penniless.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to Mr. Dalby)—Has he, to your
knowledge or belief, any claim upon the company ?
Mr. Dalby—l believe not, sir.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—lf I discharge
you from here, where will you go to? Prisoner—l
have a cousin who at the time of the Queen's corona-
tion was in the office of Sir Robert Smirke, but where
he is now I really can't tell.
Mr. BROUGHTON—If you don't find him, where
will you go then ? Prisoner-1 really don't know,
but I must see Lord Palmerston kin respect to my
claim ; there is no good to be done without following
up anything that may be taken in hand.
Mr. BROUGHTON—If his Lordship informs you once
more that he can do nothing for you, what course will
you then pursue? Prisoner—Why, I have lately
been painting, and:l suppose I must work away again
at that business.
Mr. BROUGHTGN (to Mr. Dalby)—Has he made
use of any threats towards Lord Palmerston, or any
, one else, that you know of? Mr. Dalby—He has not,

sir.
The magistrate then discharged the pris oner.
SOUTH WART.
George Jarman, described as a merchant's clerk,
was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with exces-
sive cruelty to his son, a boy between ten and eleven
years of age.
Mrs. West stated that as she was passing over
Blackfriars-bridge that day, her attention was at-
tracted on observing the defendant seize his son by
the ears, and after pulling them with great violence,
fairly lifted him off the ground by them. When he
set the boy down, the blood streamed from one of his
ears on the ground, and when witness remonstrated
against such an act of cruelty to a child, the de-
fendant became abusive, saying that she had no busi-
ness to interfere, and that he had a right to punish his
son as he thought proper. By this time several per-
sons congregated about, who had witnessed the
cruelty exercised by the defendant, who was ulti-
mately given into custody.
The little boy was here called forward, and he ex-
hibited his ear, which was very much lacerated and
bleeding. He said that his father treated him in the
manner described owing to his having been at play
with some boys while he was going on an errand.
Mr. SEMLER asked the defendant why he had
punished the boy with such severity ? If he had
acted improperly he ought to have used a cane over
his back ; but to seize him by the ears, a tender part of
the frame, and pull them in the manner described by
the witness, and which was clearly evinced by the
lacerated condition of one of them, was highly impro-
per on the part of any parent.
The defendant complained of the boy's idle habits,
saying that when he sent him on an errand that
would only occupy eight or ten minutes, he would
stop away.playing with other boys for an hour. On
the present occasion he absented himself for a long
time, and having met him on the bridge he felt exas-
perated, and certainly wrung his ears, but did not
intend to inflict such an injury as he had done. He
added that his object was to break him of his idle
habits and prevent his playing the truant. '

Mr. &CHER said that nothing could justNy the
defendant in exercising such a degree of cruelty, and
inflicted a penalty of 40s. on him. The magistrate
at the same time directed that the boy should be
taken to the hospital to have his ear dressed, and he
complimented Mrs. West for bringing the case for-
ward.
