LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Jan. 24.
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
NO ARREARS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY.

RROGDEN V. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case came before his Honour Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce upon exceptions to the report of Master
Dowdeswell, who had found, upon a reference to him by
Vice-Chancellor Wigram, that the portion of the North
Kent line, for which Mr. Brogden was contractor, was
in a state fit for public traffic at twelve o'clock at noon,
on Saturday, the 21st July, 1849.
Mr. Matins and Mr. Bailey appeared in support of
the exceptions on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway
Company; the Attorney-General, Mr. Page Wood, and
Mr. Lewis, appeared for the plaintiff, in support of the
Master's finding.
In the course of the opening of the exceptions,
The VICE 'CHANCELLOR said—Mr. Attorney-General,
I believe that although this is Friday, and we are taking
exceptions and further directions, under the new arrange-
ment, yet I am hearing this in due course; and that, in
point of fact, without that arrangement this case would
now be in hearing.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, Sir.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I see this is an exception to
a report, which report was not made until the 4th of
June in last year. How can there be any arrears? If
this exception to a report made on the 4th of June, 1850,
is coming ou now in its dae course, there can be no
arrears.

The ATTORNEY• GENERAL—They may have arisen
shim

The VILE CHANCELLOR--They are not arrears. A
number of cases and the existence of arrears is a totally
different thing. At present there is no arrear.
The ATTORNEY• GENERAL—It is rather an apprehen-
sion that there will be.
The VICE •CRINCELLOR —There is at present cer-
tainly no arrear.

Ai the conclusion of the arguments,
His HoNoun said that, perhaps, there was some defi-
ciency as to the trenelling or plugging, and in the nuin-
ber of chairs; but as to accident had occurrtd, and as
the reduction of the number of chairs had been sanc-
tioned by the plaintiff's employers, told as pezfeetiou jn

such works could not be expected, he thought it would
be too stringent, that it would be unjust, to hold that the
deficiency which he had mentioned interfered with the
completeness of the line for any purpose. He therefore
agreed in the conclusion of the Ma-ter.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 21.
(Sittings i❑ Banco.)
DOE DEM. BAINBRIGGE V. DAINDRIGGE.

This important will case came on for argument. The
issue is directed by the Master of the Rolls for an action
brought to set aside a will made in 1818 by the late
Thomas Bainbrigge, Esq., of Woodseat, Staffordshire, on
the ground of insanity. The plaintiffs are Major-Ge-
neral Bainbrigge and the other nephews of the testator,
and the defendant is John Arnold Bainbrigge, who
claims under the will. The trial took place at the Last
Stafford assizes, and occupied five days. The verdict
was fur the plaintiff. The facts of the case have ben
frequently published. Mr. Keating in the course of last
term obtained a rule nisi calling upon the plaintiff to
show cause why a new trial should not be granted.
The SOLICITOR•GENERAL now appeared to show
cause.

The reading of the judge': notes occupied the whole
day, and the Learned Counsel had not commenced his
argument when the Court rose.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 24.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates.)
SEATS ON THE ROOFS OF OMNIBUSES.

The Court sat to. day at the Guildhall, Westminster,
to hear appeals.
It having Wen arranged that the question as to the
legality of carrying passengers on a " longitudinal seat
upon the roof of omnibuses " would come under discus-
sion to-day, in the appeal of

SOPHIA. GAY WOOD V. A CONVICTION OF MR. HENRY,
the Court was densely crowded by persons conneJted
with the various conveyance companies.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone appeared on behalf
of the Commissioners of Police to support the conviction;
and Mr. M. Chambers, with Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bal-
lantine, represented the appellant.
This was an appeal by the appellant, the proprietress
of a Bayswater omnibus, against a conviction of Mr.
Henry, one of the magistrates at the Bow-street police-
court, for an offence under the Hackney Carriage Act,
6th and 7th Victoria, cap, 86.

It appeared that the offence committed by the appel-
lant was that of carrying passengers on a longitudinal
seat running along the roof of the omnibus.
Mr. BODKIN now, in support of the conviction, dis-
claimed, on behalf of the Commissioutas of Police, any
feeling of desire to oppress the appellant, whose case
would, of course, decide the future conducting of omni-
buses in regard to these seats on the roof, and de-
clared that the only object of their proceedings in the
matter was to obtain for the public greater security and
greater comfort as they travelled by these conveyances.
Far from their wish, too, was it to deprive the poorer
classes of the means of a cheap transit by these vehicles.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that
the Act of Parliament made it necessary that every
omnibus should have plainly written upon it the num-
ber of inside and outside passengers respectively
it was constructed to carry, and it also made
every owner carrying a larger number than the vehicle
was constructed to carry i❑ pursuance of the regulations
and specifications set forth in the Act liable to a penalty
by way of fine. lie then urged that the meaning of
the statute was, that " fit, proper, and covenient " sews
were in all cases to be provided for the passengers, and
submitted that the seats on the longitudinal bench on
the roof of an omnibus could not be said to fall within
the meaning of " fit, proper, cud conveniently," and
then that a larger number of passengers were carried
by means of those seats than the omnibus was in reality
constructed for.

A variety of witnesses were called to show that the
seats were unfit, as well as difficult and dangerous to
be attained, seeing that the approaches to them, whether
by means of crawling up the back or of mounting by the
front of the omnibus, were extremely inconvenient, and
especially when the passenger had to descend. Some of
the witnesses spoke, too, of the accidents which they
themselves had either sustained or been witnesses of as
the result of the difficulty of ascending to or descending
from these roof seats. It was likewise proved that com-
plaints had been made by the inside passengers of the
dirty boots of these roof passengers being allowed to be
put upon the sill of the window in the door at the back
of the omnibus as the wearers were either getting up or
coming down from their elevated sitting?, and that it had
not unfrequently occured that a gentleman, when alight-
ing from the inside, had been unpleasantly hastened in
that operation by finding the feet of a descending roof-
rider fixing upon his hat or shoulders. It was further
given in evidence that women were sometimes compelled
to mount the roof, and that in their attempt to accom-
plish that object indecent exposures were of common oc-
currence.

The case in support of the conviction having been
brought to a conclusion,

Mr. CHAMBERS, on behalf of the appellant, submitted
that his Learned Friends had failed to make out any
case within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, to the
effect that the seats were either " unfit, improper, or
inconvenient."

The Learned JUDGE, after some discussion between
the Learned Counsel as to a case being sent to the Court
of Queen's Bench, said the Court were unanimous in the
opinion that omnibus proprietors had a right to have
thou seats along the roof of the vehicle so long as they
provided the sixteen inches in width for each passenger,
and had written upon the vehicle the number of pas-
sengers it was constructed to carry, those seats, of course,
being " fi', proper, and convenient." They were also of
opinion that these seats were " fit, proper, and conve-
nient." The only difficulty really appeared to be the
means by which the passengers ascended to and descended
from the roof. As to the provision of a proper mode of
" ascending and descending," not one word was said in
the Act, but the opinion of the Court upon that
point was that the present system in that respect, as far
as the evidence had as yet gone, was very bad, very in-
convenient, and very dangerous; but it was manifest
that a remedy could be easily and readily found by means
of the application of another step and a leathern strap or
handle affixed to the hinder end of the omnibus, which
passengers might use in their ascent to or descent from
tho seats on the roof. lle saw a large number of per-
sons in court who appeared to be influentially connected
with omnibuses, and he hoped they would adopt the
suggestions which he, not in his legal character, but as
a private individual, had just thrown out.
Mr. CHAMBERS then at great length contended that
the conviction could not be sustained.

A large number of witnesses were called, who stated
that having ridden almost daily on the roof of omnibuses
they considered them perfectly safe, and that the means
of ascent and descent were not dangerous.
A proprietor of the name of Wilson said that his om-
nibuses had for a long time carried some thousands of
passengers daily, and that he had never had any com-
plaint or accident.

Another stated that he had been the manager of the
Paddington Company, that during his time their staff of
omnibuses made as many as 1,320 journeys daily, and
that they had never had either complaint or accident.
Mr. BODKIN replied.
The COURT then allowed the appeal, and ordered the
conviction to be quashed.
The Court sat to an unusually late hour, and was op-
pressively crowded to the last moment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION- fi 0 USE.
Thomas Brown, a person of gentlemanly appearance,
was brought before Alderman Hooper upon the charge
of having cheated at cards.
Mr. Hobler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Wontner for the defence. •
The case, which lasted for a considerable time, excited
much curiosity and int:rest.
Mr. Hobler said, that on the preceding night a ball
had been given at the London-tavern fur the benefit of
one of the excellent institutions connected with the
licensed victuallers of the metropolis, and that some of
the company retired to rooms in which cards were
played ; that the defendant joined a party at cards, and
that, suspicion having been entertained that ho was
Playing a "sharp" game, he was watched, and detected
in cheating in a manner not to be doubted, and handed
over to the custody of the officers of police, who con-
ducted him to the station-house. Mr. Hob'er said, the
prosecction was instituted under the Bth and 9th Vic-
toria, cap. 17, which punished with transportation for
seven years the misdemeanour with which the defendant
was charged.
Mr. Robert Whitehead, of No. 98, Wbitecross•street,
licensed victualler, said—l was last night at the ball at
the City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street. Games
of cards were played in some of the rooms. I joined in
the game of limited 100. The limit was half a guinea.
The defendant played with me. There were three
others who played, two of whom appeared to be friends
of the defendant and were not known to me. The play
began between eleven and twelve o'clock, and continued
three or four hours. I played a couple of hours, during
which time he was there. I was perfectly sober all the
time, and I lost between 3/. and 4/. to the de'endant.
I observed his mode of play, and watched him very
narrowly in consequence of what was mentioned
to me by a gentleman (Here the witness de-
scribed the game of loo.) I saw him take
a card from behind hie collar. It was the ace of
clubs. It had been dealt to him, and he had passed
it into the cellar of his coat, inside. I seized that card in
his hand, and I showed it to the gentlemen who were
playing with him. Ido not know whether clubs were
trumps at the time. There were about five playing at
the time. The defendant wanted to make a shuffia of it.
There was no officer then iu the room, but I went down
and brought up one, and gave the defendant into
custody.
Cross-examined by Mr. Woatner-1 do not know who
had put into the pool at the time. This occurrence put
an end to the game. I prevented that card from being
played. I did not wile the money in the pool, and I
have not 6/. 10.1. of his. There was some drinking going
on at the time. It was about five o'clock in the morning
when it took place. I was one of the committee, and I
fetched up two bottles of wine. There was some brandy
and water also drunk. I do not know who was the
dealer of the cards at the time, nor did I see the cards
dealt round. I had stopped playing before that time. I
had been booed, and I refused to pay a guinea, as I con-
sidered it to be an imposition. A person who lost 10/.
at play had gone away.
Re-examined—l am not skilled in the game.
Alderman Hoopert—Was the defendant playing during
the whohrtime you were losing your money ? Witness
—He was. _ _

Mr. James Young, of No. 13, Buckingham-place,
p Fitzrosquare, licensed victualler, said—l joined in the
game. We first played whit, Anti then 100. The de-
fondant was (me cf h.! pqr fr
until we left off. We piKyed, I think, about haifa-dozen
hours. I was quite sober. There were two players
who, I believe, were connected with the defendant, but

they were strangers to me. We began with eighteen-
penny 100, but, at the wish of the defendant, we raised it
to a guinea. I lost nearly 101. at the table to the person
who won, and who was five times out of six the poiso-
ner, for he either held the ace or the highest card. I ob-
served that he held the ace or the king more frequently
than any other person at the table. I dealt at the time the
defendant was detected. There were live of us plaing
then at guinea 100, and I think I bed contributed to
the pool at the time. I had paid three shillings, or a
half-crown and a sixpence into the pool. As dealer, I
turned up trumps. The game was broken up by the
intimation given by Mr. Whitehead, whom I saw go and
tske a card from the back of the defendant's collar. I
had then dealt three cards to the defendant. If the ace
had la,,en played it would have given him the game.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l did not make a
misdeal that time. I turned up the three of clubs. I
should not like to swear that Mr. Brown had taken up his
cards at the time. There might have been half a dozen
at the table looking on. I snatched up 51. 10s., the de-
fendant's money, and I believe another person picked up
21. I have got the 5/. 10,., which I took up in the ex-
citement of the moment.

On his reexamination the witness said the defendant
was at tunes 10-ed. Ile won upwards of 201.
Alderman 1100 PER—Did he turn up the ace fre-
quently? Witness—lle did. I saw the king of hearts
come out of his sleeve too.

Mr. George Bennett, of the Archway Cottage, Upper
Holloway—l was present in the card-room and saw Mr.
Whitehead (the defendant) and otbers playing. My at.
tention, as one of the committee, was drawn to the table
at which the defendant sat. I olLpTved him for tell
minutes, and saw all that was passing. There were, I
think, six or seven, and among them were two others,
bi sides the defendant, who were not known to me. I
was so situated as to be able to see the cards wbich the
de'endant held, and a gentleman had told me what be
hail been doing. I first saw him put the ace of spades
behind his collar, and when spades were not trumps, he
did not play it, hut when they were he pulled it out and
played it, NIL Whitehead was then playing. There were
several other deals, and I saw the defendant put the card
behind in the same place three or four different
times. Whenever a card came out from behind his
collar it was an ace. I saw it five or six different times.
There was a little disturbance about some play, and Mr.
Whitehead left the table and would not play any more.
I communicated something to him of what I had ob-
served, and he stood with me; and I saw the defendant
put another card behind his collar, and Mr. Whitehead
immediately took the card out of his hand—the ace cf
clubs.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l saw the ace of
spades distinctly in the palm of his hand. People would
consider when be put his hand to the back of his collar
that he was scratching his head.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Wontner—Why did you not go forward at once
and expose what you say you saw ? Witness—l did
not like to do it till I was fully convinced of the fact.

Alderman HOOPER—Did you see the ace of spades
put back by the defendant when spades were not trumps,
and drawn out when they were? Witness—l did.
Mr. 13. F. Fowler, proprietor of the Falcon, Easex•
street, Bethnal-green, said—l was present in the card-
room, and I saw Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Young put
down money and lose it. The prisoner took two trick,,
and one of the strangers took one. I saw Mr. White-
head and Mr. Young lose frequently, and I warned Mr.
Wnitehead to leave the table, being convinced that cheat.
ing was going on. Mr. Whitehead went round, and
soon afterwards said, " Gentlemen, you are playing with
a blackleg!" and at the same time he disclosed the ace
of club There was great confusion. Another gentle-
man who was playing lost 81. or 10L
Mr. ,John Butter&id, a licensed victualler—l played
and lost 3L The defendant won, and took the money
six or seven times. I thought I could play moderately
well, but he always got the ace or king to beat me.—(A
laugh.) I did not think I had been cheated till I was
informed. I had left off playing two hours.

Alderman HOOPER—Youhaa bad enough, I suppose?
Witness—Yes, quite enongh.—(Laughter.)
The ALDERMAN then consented to take as bill two
sureties for 1001. each, and the defendant to enter into
his own stcurity to the amount of 2001, to appear at the
Central Criminal Court ❑ext session.
THAMES.

William East, aged 18, of 39, London-street, Rateliff,
was brought up for final examination. He stands chargt d
with manslaughter in shooting Ribert Ablott, a la-
bourer, on the afternoon of the 16th inst.

The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for tria

SOUTH WA RK.

George Foster and Caroline, his wife, were placed at
the bar before Mr. A'Beckert, charged with neglecting
their children, and causing them to be in a starving con-
dition.

Mr. ATECKETT said, the case was one exhibiting
great neglect of the children by their parents, and that
the parochial officer had acted very properly in having it
investigated. He should remand the prisoners, but
would accept bail for the appearance of tt►e man, whose
conduct, however blameable in the transaction, was not
so bad as the woman's.

The prisoners were then remanded, and it appears that
Foster contrived to commit suicide yesterday morning in
the county gaol.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

barley this morning is moderate, and fair of other grain.

NEWBURY, JAN. 23.—We have only a small supply c f
Wheat in offer today, most of which is the remains of
previous markets. The demand to-day is better than of
late, and we have to report a larger clearance at the
fullest rates of last week. Barley, moderate supply;
fine malting, free sale at rather enhanced rates; other
de criptions in fair demand, at fully the prices of last
week. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, with a fair
demand, and late rates firmly supported.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 24.—At this day's market there
was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, and
a moderate amount of business was done in wheat and

flour at the full prices Oats and oatmeal met
with little inquiry, but were not offered on lower terms.
Barley, beans, and peas without change either in value
or demand. Indian corn was in brisk request, and an
advance of 6d per quarter was realised in the sales
made.

MASTER, JAN. 24.—Pork Carcases—A large supply,
which has been selling at 6s to 7s per score. Pannier—
Turkeys, 5s to lOs each; geese, 5a to 6s; ducks, 4s to
5s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s; galenas, 53 to 6s;

cocks, 7s; snipes, is 6d to is 9d per brace; roasters, 4s
6d to 5s 6d; bares, 3s each; rabbits, is; pigeons, is 9d
per couple; butter, is ld per lb; eggs, 18 fur Is. Cattle
Market—The supply to-day was again moderate, but
there was a tolerable demand. Good beef sold at 7s to
8s per score; but in some cases the latter price was ex-
ceeded,. Barreners of a tolerable description were worth
quite 5s per score. Good cows and calves sold lively,
prices ranging from 71 to 131. Corn Exchange—The
market to-day continues inactive, and we can quote no
alteration in the figures which have for some times ruled.
Best English wheat is 5s per bushel, and the price ranges
between 43 6d and ss. In foreign wheat, some dark
coloured Syrian was offered at 34s per quarter, and
Polish Odessa at 38s, both of course very much in& rior
in quality to our English wheat. Barley for malting
continues about 33 per bl. Oats is 10d to 2s do, fine
flour, 27s to 29s per sack of 280 lbs, the more general
figure being 28s.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JAN. 24.—Our raw sugar
market continues without animation, and the transactions
since our last are exceedingly limited, at again rather
lower prices. Refiners' produce has been in better 6.-
1 mand, and some large sales hare been eff. cted since our
last, chiefly in wet goods, but on easier terms. Rum is
very fi t m, and in good demand.—Bristol Mercury.
BANGOR, JAN. 24.—Our market to-day was moderately
attended, but nothing of importance passing in any kind
of grain, the demand of most articles having been on a
limited scale; prices of this day week were scarcely
maintained. Our last quotation must remain unaltered.
DENBIGH, JAN. 22 —There was no very material
alteration in prices from our last quotation.—Wheat,

TRADE of LEEDS.—There has been little done at Our
Cl.,•th Halls since this day week; this is principally as'
cubed to the circumstance of the merchants generally
having purchased pretty freely some time ago. in antici-
pation of an advance consequent on the rise in price 01
wool et the London sales, and the demand for the spring
not yet having set in; their stocks are ample for the pre-
sent demand, and they are generally holding off purcbas:
lug; prices are look up. Stocks are low tor the seasou, and
their continues to be a fair amount of goods delivered to
the shipping houses to order, yet business has been abort
as usual in the warehouses at this season of the year as
regards the home trade.
BRADFORD MARKET, JAN. 23.—Wools—There is
very lithe cha,ge in either the demand or the quantity
of wool coming to market, The country dealers are all
firm at prices beyond what can be realised here. Nolls
arid Brokes are firm, from the small quantity making'
Yarns—There is no marked alteration in the trawl°.
tions in 3 arrs3, aod but little is doing, exccpt for abso-
lute consumption, both for this market and Lancashire.
Pieces—There is a deal of inquiry for goods suitable for
spring, and the chief thing in favour is mixed reds,
which are produced in great variety, and made from as
many kinds a materiel. Orleans and Cobourgs are
teken in limited quantity, and prices without Change.
TRADE of MANCHESTER, JAN. 23.—There bay bees
„
no material change in tee aspect of the cloth and Pr"
market since Tuesday, but it any thing there has been*
rather better feeling, and prices are slightly firmer.
Altogether there has hecn a fair amount of business.
LEICESTER TRADE.—Very little change has taken
place is the trade since our last report. The uttuos
caution is manifested in all departments as to the 111101!:
facture of goods; nor will there be any increased acts"
vity till orders for goods are received, so little disposed
are manufactun-rs to make upon speculation or in allll.

NOTTINGHAM I BADE.—Lace—The business of the last
week has been rather larger than for many weeks Ps":
and although this is not to be taken as a sign of per 11.311„
nent improvement, still there is a general impressios-
that we have;undountedly seen the worst, and that in
short time we shall have the pleasure of reporting a Ott
of trade of a deei,ledly wholesome character. Hosiery"'
Most branches of this business are in a healthy
conditioes
particularly those of 11050 :al glow=, fabricated of the
various maama a of which they ore composed. Thes
shir7, drawer, and pantaloon trade is not quite in that
active state it would be nestrahle to see it in, but these
now absolutely roces4ary articles of comfort must he 1:
request very soon. The price of yarn is firm, With
fair demand; and there is a prospect of a further ads
k
vatic°, if :he high rat( obtained Liverpool this week
are maintained for a short time.—Nottingham Journal
