BAIL COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice TAUNTON.
TILE TRADES' UNION S. -THE KING V. ANO,

BAYLEY.

Mr. R. V. RICHARDtired for a rule to show
cause why the defendants should not be admitted to
bail, and for a certiorari to bring up the depositions on
which they were committed to the gaol at Chester be.
fore this court. The learned counsel stated, from the
affidavits, that the defendants had been charged before
four magistrates of the county of Chester with having
been members of an unlawful combination and confe-
deracy established at Nantwich, and with being pre-
sent on the Bth of February last at Nantwich, at the
taking or assenting to a certain test or declaration not
required or authorised by law by William Cappin the
younger, shoemaker, of Wistarton, on his becoming a
member of the said society. The affidavits further
disclosed the belief of the defendants that Cappin,
upon whose testimony the defendants were committed,
was a person of weak intellect, who had been imposed
upon in being induced to prefer the above charge; and
that there would not be sufficient proof against them.
They were unable to come up to London personally to
apply to be admitted to bail, and the present applica-
tion was therefore made.
Mr. Justice TAUNTON—Does the affidavit state that
they have made application to the magistrates to be
admitted to bail?
Mr. Rieliaans—No, my Lord.
Mr. Justice TAUNTON—Under what statute are the
men charged?
Mr. Riciianns—lt appears, my Lord,. that their
offence is a misdemeanor punishable with seven years'
transportation. I believe your Lordship will find that
it is a case similar to one which has lately undergone
much discussion in the public prints—l mean the ease
of the men lately convicted at the Dorchester assises.
Mr. Justice TAUNTON—Is this charge under the
same statute as that ?
Mr. RICHARDS-1 cannot say, my Lord. The affi-
davits merely state that the defendants were charged
with being members of an unlawful combination or
confederacy, &c.
Mr. Justice TAUNTON—You may take a rule.
Mr. RINI/tuns—l am informed, my Lord, that the
offence is a felony, and not a misdemeanor, as I de-
scribed it.
Rule to show cause granted.

MONEY-MARKET.--801ne fluctuation has
occurred to-day in the English funds, caused, it is
said, by some doubts raised as to the practicability of
the plan which has been circulated for the reduction of
the Four per Cents. The history of it is, that such a
plan as that described on Wednesday was suggested to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who appeared dis-
posed to adopt it, but on taking the opinion of some
of the leading members of the moneyed interest, se-
veral objections were urged to it, and in particular one,
that in the case of stock held in trust, which a great
proportion of the Four per Cents. is, the trustees
could not with propriety exchange that stock for a
terminable annuity. No doubt exists, however, on the
part of the best practical hien in the city, that a con-
version direct into Three and a Half per Cents., pro-
vided it were stipulated that no further reduction
should take place within 10 or 15 years, might be ef-
fected with very little difficulty. At present nothing
seems to be positively settled on the subject.— Times.
On Sunday se'nnight the dwelling house of
Mr. Daniel Jobbing, at Uley, in this county, was broken
open while the family were at afternoon church,
and plundered of 100 sovereigns, two 51. notes, five
guineas, and other moneys. he perpetrator of the
robbery was discovered by the marks of a wooden leg
on the premises, and being immediately pursued was
taken at Dursley. Suspicion being excited that part
of the property might be concealed in his wooden leg,
the leg was taken off and unscrewed, when in an aper-
ture in the upper part of it 90 sovereigns and two 5/.
notes were found. The culprit (Charles Riddiford)
is committed to our county gaol for trial for the of-
fence.—Cheltenham Chronicle.
