Mr. CLAUDET was the first person who introaFtaitilhf England
the Daguerreotype process, having purchased, in the year 1839, from
Mr. Daguerre himself, the right of exercising his patented invention.
This right has been confirmed by decisions of the High Court of
Chancery, the Court of Queen's Bench, and the Court of Exchequer.
Mr. Claudet's establishment is, therefore, quite independent and sepa-
rate from any other of the same kind ; and his process, which is
entirely peculiar, is practised only by himself.

SUMMER, ASSIZES.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Hcrtforcl, July 13.
The business of this assize has been heavier than has
been known for many years. The criminal business
was concluded on Saturday in the middle of the day,
Mr. Justice Coltman then proceeding to try one or two
of the civil cases, and Mr. Baron Parke being
engaged in the other court until nearly ten o'clock at
night. There were then three special jury cases to be
disposed of ; one of them was subsequently adjourned
to the next
.assizes, and the remaining two were tried
this moraine..
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Special Jury.)
BEADLE V. MURRAY.
This was an action for false imprisonment against Sir
Robert Murray, a magistrate of 'this county.
Mr. M. Chambers, with Bite Wallinger, appeared for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. Petersdorff for
the defendant.
This cen-e was tried on Saturday, and was not eon:-
eluded until near ten o'cloels at night. It appeared that
Sir Robert Murray, who resides at Yardley Bury, in
this county, had some fowls stolen from his poultry-
house about the 23d of December last, and in conse-
quence of the inforMation he gave to the police they
instituted inquiries, and upon going to the villsge of
Walker), not far from the residence of Sir Robert, they
found some fowls in a shed answering the description of
those that had been stolen, but which the plaintiff, who is
a labouring man and a higgler, and travelling dealer in
poultry, claimed as his, and said that he had bought them.
He expressed his readiness to give the police the names of
the persons from whom he had purchased them, and, at
their.request, he accompanied them to the residence of
Sir Robert Murray, who, upon seeing the foWls, imme-
diately declared that three of them, which were of a
rather peculiar colour, were part of those stolen. The
plaintiff repeated his story, and offered to go with the
police to the persons who had sold him the fowls, but
it appeared that instead of this bail g done, he was taken
into custody, handcuffed.. and conveyed in a cart through
the village where he' resided, on Christnlrts-ihrl, and
was confimd all night, and next clay taken before a ma-
gistrate, when it was pretty eloarly made cut that Sir
Rebsrt was rillstaken with regard to the identity of the
fowls, and upon this Beadle was discharged. He subse-
quently attsndscl at the quarter sessions, but no bill of
indictment was preft rred against him, and due notice
having been given to the defendant, in conformity with
' the statute, the present action was brought to recover
damages from him for the alleged illegal arrsst and
confinement of the plaintiff. On the part of the defen-
dant it was urged that he was not responsible for the ap-
prehension of the plAintiff, but that the police had
adopted that step in the execution of their duty, believ-
ing that a felony had been committed, and that the
stolen property was in the possession of the plaintiff. A
number of witnesses were called on both sides, and their
examination and cross-examination extended to consi-
derable length.
Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up,
The jury, after deliberating about half an hour, re-
urned a verdict for the defendant.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT—Northampton, July 13.
The justices of assize for this circuit, the Hon. Sir
John Patteson and the Hon. Sir John Taylor Coleridge,
arrived here at half-past ten o'clock, and having opened
the commission for the county and borough, proceeded
to attend divine service at All Saints' Church, at eleven,
and shortly after one o'clock took their seats in the
county ball, Mr. Justice Patteson presiding in the
Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Coleridge (who, though
apparently still far from well, and showing manifest in-
dications of having been recently labouring under severe
and protracted illness, yet seemed, we are most happy to
be able to say, convalescent) taking his appointed teat
on the Civil Side.
The calendar is remarkably light for this county,
presenting only twelve cases, and the names of eleven
prisoners for trial, of whom one stood indicted upon two
charges of setting fire to barns, stables, stacks, &e.; one
for assault with intent to rob; one for stealing from the
person; one for breaking and entering a dwelling-house;
and one for conc. aling the birth of a child. The other
cases were of a most trifling character. There appeared
to be one case only in the borough, which was for cutting
and wounding.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
At the sitting of the Court, Frank Cox (not in the
calendar) was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury.
. Mr. Macaulay appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Miller for the-prisoner.
It appeared that at the Michaelmas Sessions, 1845, an
appeal was tried here—Pickworth, ltutlandshire, appel-
lants, and Wakerley, Northamptonshire, respondents.
One of the grounds of appeal was, that the husband of
the pauper had gained a settlement by hiring and ser-
vice at a piece called Barrowden, in Rutlandshire. The
defuidant Cox swore on that occasion that he knew the
pauper; that he (the witness) was 65 years of age; and
that he, when he was 10 or 11 years old, and the pauper's
husband went together to Morcutt Statutes in 1789 or
1790, and that he (the witness) was hired by a Mr.
Taylor, of Barrowden, and at the same time the pauper
was hired by a Mr. Francis Wright, of the same place;
that he heard Wright and the pauper bargain for a
twelvemonth; and that both he and the pauper remained
in such respective service, at Barrowden, for a twelve-
month and two days. Upon this testimony the order
was quashed. The evidence now went to show that the
prisoner was eight or nine years younger than he had
sworn at the trial of the appeal, and, consequently, that
what he then deposed to could not possibly be true, and,
in short, the story he had told was an entire fabrication
from beginning to end.
Mr. Miller was addressing the jury for the prisoner
at a quarter past five o'clock, when this report was
necessarily dispatched.
CIVIL SIDE.--(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)

FOLLETT AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES, V. WESLEY.

This cause, which came on at the sitting of the Court,
was still proceeding at a qu'irter past five o'clock, when
our report was dispatched. It was an issue directed. by
the Court of Chancery, of a most dry and uninteresting
character to all but the parties concerned.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Winchester, July 13
The commission was opened in this city on Saturday
by Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Baron Platt, the judges ap-
pointed for this circuit. In the cause list there are
eleven cases, but although they are calculated to occupy
much time, and are of great consequence to the parties,
the interest as regards the public will, it is understood,
be but trifling. There are some serious cases in the
calendar, which, considering that the sessions were held
only last week, is heavy, there being upwards of thirty
prisoners for trial. At the present moment it is strongly
rumoured that Lieutenant Hawkey will surrender, and
every person hints that he knows where he is, but those
whose duty it is to apprehend every person charged
with such an offence, possess such happy ignorance that
it is permitted to the accused to say at what time he
wilt quietly walk into the prisoners' dock. How fur this
can be considered as the proper administration of justice
it is for wiser heads to say ; but the uninitiated are ex-
pressing strong doubts in the matter. If a law is ab-
surd, let it be carried out in all its absurdity, and then a
remedy will be found ; but if it is evaded by a side-
wind, it will disgrace the statute-book by remaining the
law of the land. Two common people fight with their
fists—one is killed—it is called a brutal fight, and the
aggressor is punished for manslaughter. Ignorant
people cannot understand the distinction between such a
fight and a duel. Does not the result point it out ?
On Saturday their Lordships attended divine service
in the Cathedral, and this morning, at ten o'clock, Mr.
Justice Erie took his seat in the Nisi Prius Court, and
at eleven o'clock Mr. Baron Platt came into the Crown
Court.
The usual preliminary business having been gone
through,
Mr. Baron PEA.TT delivered his charge to the grand
jury, in the course of which he stated that if any gen-
tlemen who had been summoned on the grand jury, and
who were in Court, had not answered to their names,
he should have decidedly felt, it his duty to have fined
them, because by the Constitution of the country every
man charged with a crime had a right to have the ver-
dict of twenty-four men pronounced against him, and if
he had not a majority of twelve grand jurymen against
him, he had not justice done him. (This observation
arose from a supposition that some grand jurors were in
Court who did not in the first instance answer to their
names, but it is believed such was not really the
caw.) His Lordship then went at some length into the
criminal returns of the country, which showed that while
crime had decreased in the north, or manufacturing dis-
tricts, it bad increased in the southern, or agricultural
districts. His Lordship also referred to the very large
proportion female prisoners bore to males in the criminal

York, July 1..
RN
Fitkup.—A trial upon three several in
dictments for fraud in respect to railway shares by a
railway sharebroker, which has o3casioned great interest
NORTHERN
in a certain circle, and which had been postponed at the
RT.HERIV
desire of the accused from the last assizes, was, by ap-
pointment, brought on to-day. The court was full
beyond precedent, the' prisoner and his prosecutor
having been long on very intimate terms, and both men
of respectability.
Haman Julius Marcus, late a sharebroker in the town
of Leeds, out on bail since last assizes, appeared at the
bar charged with forging a transfer of shares in the
London and Croydon Railway, intending thereby to de-
fraud Mr. Lupton, the late mayor of Leeds.
Mr.
H
will be best detailed in the
language of the following
witnesses, A
LeLx,aßmeinckerddaerfteorfthe Leeds,forged
documents were put
in and formally proved :
The clerk of the London and Croydon Railway Com-
pany proved the transfer of the shares in July, August.
and October last.
The handwitiling of the prisoner, as attesting witness
to the transfer of the Shares, Was proved by the clerk to
the firm of Alarms (the prisnuer), Naylor, and Co.; the
name of Damon Lupton, in
the transfer, was also, he
said, in Marcus's handwritepg.
Cross-examined—Mr- Lupton had, in August last,
looked at the company's book. Saw the entry of the
transaction. He cast 17 .p the account, and said there was
a balance of profit on the shares, but remarked, " They
are not mine." Mr .Lupton and the prisoder-were on
terms of close e' ipaintance. Prisoner came in soon
after, and was te Id what Mr, Lupton had said. Prisoner
replied, " Wal jt if he won't have a profit I cannot help

it." The entries were for 100 shares sold to Danton
Lupton, conditionally upon the preamble of the Ports-
mouth Atmospheric Railway Bill being proved, at
231. 2s. 63. per share ; for 10 shares, at 221. 103 ; for 50
shares, at 241. 7s. 6d.; and for 40, at 251. 12s. 6d. The
accounts were all stated in the ledger, where Mr. Lupton
saw them, and also that the profit was 170/. on them.
Besides these the firm had several other transactions
with the proSecutor, and eight of them were for some
1,5001., and subsequent to the transactions enumerated
by the witness. They sometimes sold or transferred
2,000 shares a day in the office of Marcus, Naylor,
and Co.
D. Lupton said—l am a merchant, residing in Leeds,
and employed Marcus, Naylor, and Co. as sharebrokers.
I always dealt with them for cash. I never have
authorised the prisoner to buy or sell for me
any London and . Croydon shares. The signature
in the transfer, "D. Lupton," is not my writing. I
never authorised the prisoner, or any one else, to
sign them for me. I never authorised him to make
for me time or conditional bargains in shares. He
did represent to me that he could make good bar-
gains for me in the market. I then told him be
might purchase for me scrip to the amount of 1,0001.
Before that I had had but one share transaction with
him, when he bought Lancaster and Carlisle shares fur
1,0001. for me. I never authorised any buying of London
and Croydon shares. When he bought or sold for me,
he informed me that day or the following, and I gave
him the money. I told his clerk to look over my account,
and when I saw that entry of the London and Croydon
shares, I said they were not mine, though put down to
me; and I crossed the entry out in pencil. I met the
prisoner on the stairs going out, and mentioned this
entry., He said it was a mistake.
Cross-examined--I have been on terms of friendly
intercourse with the prisoner. The firm is since bank-
rupt. The prisoner stood very high in Leeds as a patron
of literary and scientific institutions and literary psrsons.
I believe that on one occasion I told him to purchase
thalc-asexea.
scrip for me. The order was not to exceed 1,0001. in
mined—Mt quite certain that authority was
only to purchase scrip. The signature, "D. Lupton," is
an imitation or copy of my own name, as I write it.
In reply to Justice CRESSWELL—He never sold scrip
for me without my limiting the price.
Mr. Naylor, late partner in the business with the pri-
soner, said the transfer deeds had passed in the usual
course through his hands ; but the purchase and sale of
the London and Croydon Railway shares had been
transacted by the prisoner alone.
Cress-examined—On this occasion when the selling
broker sent to witness for the principal's names the pri-
soner was absent, and the witness sent the name of Mr.
Lupton as the principal. This he attempted to account
for by raying that there was then a great press of busi-
ness in their office, and it was not unlikely that such
mistake might have occurred unwittingly. He admitted
that the signature to the transfer, "D. Lupton," was in
the prisoner's handwriting.
The officer of the Court read the deeds of transfer of
shares. They were to appearance signed, sealed, &c.,
by Denton Lupton, in the presence of H. J. Marcus, by
whom the execution of the deed was witnessed and also

signed.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said he had been relieved of
much of his anxiety as the case proceeded, from the de-
velopment of its singular history. upon which he believed
he might safely rely for a verdict of acquittal for his
client. Their extensive transactions together, and the
intimacy subsisting between the prisoner and the prose-
cutor, might well have induced Mr. Marcus to believe
that he was justified in making an advantageous purchase
for a friend so largely engaged as Mr. Lupton was in
railway speculations. By it the prisoner got nothing for
himself, and Mr. Lupton might have taken the profit of
it, had it not been considered preferable, strangely
enough, to institute these criminal proceedings. What
could have there been criminal or fraudulent in contem-
plation of the prisoner by the course he had pursued ?
His own name in the transfer would have done just as well
as that of Lupton. In fact, no one had been defrauded,
nor was it, as it turned out, even possible the- prosecutor
could have been defrauded in these transactions. There
had been no effort made when the signatures to the deeds
were seen to conceal the resemblance of the hand-
writing in both instances, which clearly appeared to be
written by the same person in style and character. Mr.
Lupton, at the period when, in August last, he in-
spected the prisoner's books, thought there was nothing
blameable in the entry of these shares to him; for he
subsequently employed Marcus to transact other
business of the same kind for him to the amount of
1,5001. worth of shares. No attempt had been made to
smooth difficulties, remove suspicion, or conceal any-
thing, though the prisoner must know that in the way of
business the dividend-warrants must be rent to Mr. Lup-
ton, as owner of the shares, by the London and Croydon
Railway-office clerks,which would at once have disclosed
the whole transaction, had any attempt been made at
concealment.
Most respectable witnesses, including Mr. Baines. late
M.P. ; Mr. Lucceck, Mayor of Leeds ; and R. Frost,
Esq., were called into the box, and stated they had
known the prisoner long, and he had always borne an
unimpeachable character as a man of strict honour and
integrity.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said, if the Learned Counsel
for the prosecution wished it, he would now' eave the
case to the jury, and reserve the point for the conside-
ration of the judges hereafter whether any evidence of
the fraud imputed had been adduced? He confessed he
could not see how Mr. Lupton nor yet the railway com-
pany could be defrauded in these transactions, which
would entitle Mr. Lupton to the dividends on the shares,
for which shares he incurred no liability, the registry of
the shares in his name constituting a title in him. The
company could not have been defrauded had the trans-
fer been to a mere pauper. It had no claim on the
shareholders for further 'advances, the railway having
been, it was well known, in activity and open for some
years, and all the calls necessary most likely were
paid up.
Mr. HALL said he should not, after this opinion of the
case from his Lordship's lips, press the case.
His LORDSHIP told the jury it was his impression that
no such consequence could, according to the evidence
submitted in the cause, have arisen. There was no
evidence of the fraud with ts hich the prisoner was
charged by the indictment. He should, therefore, advise
the jury
.to acquit the prisoner; who, being acquitted,
was again a.rrainged on the other two indictments, on
which no evidence, however, was offered by Mr. Hall,
who was assisted by Mr. Boothby in these proceedings,
and the prisoner we s acquitted.
On his discharge he was surrounded by numerous
friends in the hall, who cordially greeted him upon the
occasion of his acquittal.
