EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,6001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Tint., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office era—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
Tke difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
ranee Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine tke tree Premium equitably payable, as
security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be Made into each
class ef risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The important advantages offered by the plan and constitution of
the Life Department of this Society are—
That Insurers are protected by a large invested capital, upon which
there is no interest to pay, and for which no deduction of any kind
is made, which enales the Directors to give the whole of the Profits
to insuring membebrs.
That the Profits arc divided annually amongst all members of five
years' standing, and applied towards reducing life insurance to the
lowest possible rates of premium.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Joseph Lucas Horrochs, who was some days ago
charged before the Lord Mayor with having feloniously
and knowingly uttered a forged bill of exchange for the
payment of 4301. 93. 7d., with intent to defraud the Lon-
don Joint Stock Bank, was brought up for final exami-
nation.

Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mußens, solicitors
to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against For-
geries and Frauds, attended for the prosecution.
The following is the additional evidence upon the
case:— • _

Mr. Robert Mackcnzie—l am a merchant at Dundee,
and carry on business with James Ramsey the younger,
under the firm of Mackenzie, Ramsey end Co. There
is no other firm of that name in Dundee, The accept-
ance to the bill produced is not that of myself or my
partner, or of any person authorised by me. No person
accepts bills for our firm but myself and my partner,
and I know nothing of the prisoner or the drawers of
the bill.
The prisoner, it will be recollected, had been taken
into custody by the direction and in the presence of Mr.
Ambrose Moore, one of the directors of the London
Joint Stock Bank, to whom he stated, upon being asked
whether he had any explanation to gire respecting the
bill, that he was endeavouring to makei an arrangemeLt
by which it would be withdrawn. He'alto stated at the
first examination that he was not the delinquent, and
that the whole was a tissue of cunning temptation and
treachery to which he had been a victim, and that he
chose openly to admit the fact and plead "guilty" to the
charge. -
Mr. Bush itated yesterday, after tke &me eximina._
tion was coneluded, that he had`, allot'
of a similar kind which it was his dni3i t detail.
The following is the evidence in the second case:
The prisoner having been put to the bar was charged
with having feloniously and knowingly uttered a bill of
exchange for the payment of 6021. 33. 5d., with intent
to defraud Edward Loyd the younger and others.
Mr. Robert Mackenzie, one of the witnesses examined
upon the former charge, said the acceptance to the bill
for 6021.35. sd. is not that of myse' or my partner or
any person authorized by me.
Mr. William Bamber, the younger, said—l am cashier
to Messrs. Loyd, Entwistle, and to., of Manchester,
bankers. I produce the waste bill book. I also produce
a bill of exchange dated Hamburgh, 28th of December,
1850, drawn by Weber and Schoer at four months after
date, upon Messrs. Mackenzie, Ramsey, and Co., of
Dundee, for 602/. 3s. sd. It purports to be accepted by
Mackenzie, Ramsey, and Co., and to bo payable at the
London and Westminster Bank in London. I received
this bill in the course of business trim, I believe, a clerk
of the in isoner's, on the 4th of January last. The me-
morandum produced was brought at the same time. I
know the prisoner's handwriting, and have seen him
write. The endorsement on the bill, 6‘ Horrocks, Schoer,
and C 0.," is in the prisoner's handwriting, and the me-
morandum is also in his handwritiig. The prisoner has
been known as a customer to out house for about two
years. The account of Horrocks, Schoer, and Co., was
opened at our house about fifteeta months ago. It was
to that account the amount of the bill was credited, and
there is an entry of it in my writing in the waste bill
book produced.
The prisoner, upon being addreised in the usual terms
by the Lord Mayor, said—Circumstances have occurred
since I first appeared here which 'induced me to hope—
and I believe I clan if I have an oplportunity, and be re-
manded—that I might bring forward circumstances
which will put a different light ea these transactions as
regards myself. Therefore I hope that your Lordship
will grant me a remand, in order that I may have that
opportunity.
The LORD MAYOR said he had no power, as the pri-
soner must know, to try the case, and nothing that
could be urged by the prisoner could alter his deter-
mination to commit. The prisoner would at the trial
have the opportunity of stating anything which might
operate in altering the effect of the circumstances alleged
against him.
Mr. Bush said, there were other forgeries with which
it might be considered necessary to charge the prisoner
at the Central Criminal Court, one of which was for
5721.75., and another for 2151. 78. 2d.
The prisoner was then committed for trial on the two
first accusations.

WORSHIP-STREET
Mary Ann Mayne, a woman of the town of masculine
appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold,
charged with having, in conjunction with another woman
not in custody, administered a quantity of chloroform
or other deleterious drug, to Mr. John Swenson, and
robbed him of gold and silver moneys to the value of
101. 9s. 63.
The prosecutor, a tall powerful person, stated—l re.
side at Allanmouth, in Northumberland, and am master
of a trading vessel between Hull and the Thames. My
vessel arrived in the St. Katharine Docks on Thursday
afternoon, and between seven and eight o'clock in the
evening I went to a tavern on Tower-hill, to meet a
friend, who is captain of another ship, upon business,
and during the transaction of
it wo each drank three
glasses of ale.
That is all I had drunk the whole eay.
I was as perfectly sober then
as I am now, knew tho-
roughly what I was about, and as a proof of it I may
mention, that having changed a sovereign to pay for the
ale, I placed the change. 19s.
6d., in one end of my
purse, and saw that I had 91. 10s. in gold in
the other. On placing the purse in my pocket
my friend and I left the house together, and had
only gone a short distance when we were ac-
costed by the prisoner, but we did not notice what she
said and went on, and atter the close of our conversation
wo separat,d, and I returned in the direction of the
docks to rejoin my ship. On going
however, I was again stopped by back a short way,
by th© prisoner, who
pressed me to go home with her, and kept walking at
my side ; but I refused, and the instant I had done so
she gave me a dab on the mouth with something like a
handkerchief she had in her hand, and from that mo-
ment I had not the slightest recollection of anything that
took place until I was woke up
about four o'clock
on the following morning by
4 Powerful black man, and
found myself in a miserable room, lying upon a bed
with all my clothes on. The black man peremptorily
ordered me out of the house, and I was so confused that
I mechanically obeyed him, but after walking down the
street in the air a short way / thought of my money,
and on thrusting my hand into 'IV pocket I found that
the purse and money were both
gone. I shortly after
met a policeman, whom I told that I had been
robbed, and having described the circumstances
and the house I hail been
turned out of, he at
once took me back to it, and on entering tho same
room we found the woman
bed with the black
man. The constable ordered her to sit up, and the in-
stunt she did so I recognised her as the same woman who
had given me the dab on the mow) and from beside her
the officer picked up my handkerchief. The constable
,
then gave the prisoner over to another officer, and
searched the place, though without finding any of my
money ; but upon examining the
p; ivy belonging to the
house ho fished op my green silk purse from the top of
the soil, but all the money was gee,.
Taylor, a constable of the Ii division,
said that upon
meeting the prosecutor, he had a contused stupified ap-
pearance, but on his describing the house he at once
knew that he was in a notorious
place called George-
yard, Wentworth-street, Whiteehupel, to which ho took
him, and ho identified the prisoner without the slightest
hesitation. The prosecutor's handkerchief was lying on
the bed, the empty purse was discovered down the wa-
tercloset, as he had described, but the prisoner had only
a few shillings and halfpence in her pockets, and denied
having been near Tower-hill at all.
Mary Williams, an old woman having care of the
lodgings in two houses in Georgo-yard, said—l know
the prisoner, who lives in
No. 6, and occupies one of
the rooms down stairs with a black man. About two
o'clock last Friday morning the prisoner came home and
milted me to open the door for her, which I did, and she
went in. At the same time I saw a man with another
woman standing outside the door; the man did not ap-
pear to me to be sober, and I don't know that the pro-
secutor is the same, but he looked like a seafaring man,
and as soon as the prisoner had entered her own room
I returned back into mine and went to bed.
When called upon for her defence, the prisoner said
—I never saw that man before I got home last night,
and then found him standing at my door with another
woman. lam not the woman who robbed him, and he
must have been taken into my room by the other woman.
The prosecutor applied to the magistrate to decide
upon the case at once, al his ship, which was then in the
docks, was ordered to sail almost immediately, and he
should be a still more severe loser than he already had
been; but
Mr. ARNOLD told him he had no power to do that;
the prisoner must be sent for trial betore a jury, but, as
the sessions were then sitting, the case, would no doubt
in a few days be disposed of.
The depositions were then taken by Mr. Vine, the
ooneitted for trial.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, MAucla lg.
We had at this day's market a remarkably small supply of
grain. The continued wet weather has caused the wheat to
be in bad condition ; nevertheless the short supply caused
millers to buy on same terms as last week, and indeed a turn
was in favour of the grower. The malsters were unwilling
to give any advance on barley, preferring to give over steeping,
and what sales were made were only at last week's prices.
Other things as of late.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—More tone
has pervaded the trade dining the past week, and in the busi-
ness done holders have had the advantage. Our own farmers
brought a fair supply of wheat for to-day's market, and millers
being free buyers the whole was well cleared oS at is over the
prices current last week. Foreign is in more request, and full
prices obtained for ship-parcels ; granaried lots do not yet
move off, but the stock of really good wheat is not large. For

barley of first quality and weight we experience a good
demand, and such is rather scarce, fetching Is advance;
grinding also is in some improved request. Other descriptions
of spring corn are quite neglected. The import of linseed
does not come on the market; a moderate business has been
done from warehouse at fully late prices. A fair amount of
business passing in cakes, both English and fine foreign. In
rapeseed we are without transactions, and for cakes prices are
somewhat irregular.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 18.—Higher rates generally were
required at the beginr ing of business at our Corn Exchange
this morning. The millers and dealers were reluctant to ac.
cede to these, but ultimately a fair extent of transactions oc-
curred in wheat, at an advance of Id per bushel, and in some
cases 2d on the price of this day week. Th best oats were
also id per bushel higher. In floor and oatmeal there was
about the usual amount of business, at very full pc ices. Egyp-
tian beans improved 6d per quarter. Indian corn was also
6d to 9d per quarter dearer than last Tuesday, and a fair ea-
tent of sales was made fcr shipment to Ireland.
