(411XEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
Before the LORD CHIEF JuancE and a Special Jury.)
DUKE OE BRUNSWICK C. HARMER.
lliB Was an action on the case brought by the Duke of
Brunswick 7„ to recover compensation in damages for a series
the'L lir'eged libels which were said to have been published in
eekly Dispatch newspaper, of which Mr. James Harmer,
defendant, was the proprietor. The declaration con-

'Vrejibels complained of were five, all üblished in the
ze::: Dispatch newspaper at various periods, beginning
Lue year 1830. "'here was no doubt that the expression
the libels far surpassed anything allowed to what
'as called the freedom of the press in this country, and were

of the Dispatch by the Duke calling upon him to re-
tract the libellous statements which had rppeared in the
Paper ; but instead of doing so, these letters were only used
as 'occasion for new libels. The Duke of Brunswick then
• , brought an action against Mr. Harmer, proprietor of the
•'the Ylepatch, which was tried in June, 1849, with a verdict for
plaintiffs, damages 500/. ; and to show the malicious and
tplimbouti feelings which had prompted the publication of

VMr. Isaac Seacomb, clerk in the Stamp-office, proved Mr.
ittarmers proprietorship of the Weekly Dispatch and The Sun

Proving that this charge of perjury was untrue, Casimir

Petaintiff had abandoned the first count setting forth the article

tQarild were no libels, but were mere comments on the public
rnot the private character of a monarch who had been
plPosed from his throne. The Learned Counsel then pro-

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Yr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL.)
AN ACCOMMODATION TIIANSACTION - MOLES V. KING.
This was an action on a guarantee given by defendant, in
consideration of bankrupt accepting a bill for a third party,
defendant undertaking to hold the plaintiff indemnified in
default of payment of the bill. The bill, which was fur 221,
was not taken up when it anived at maturity, and an action
was brought, and plait-16ff taken in execution, and was only
released on payment of .56/., debt and costs.
Defendant did not plead, and a verdict was given for the
amount claimed.
This was the only case except :one for goods sold, and
which was undefended.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

GLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, and Mr. Justic CRESS PirELL.)
MA NSLAUGHTER.—RouaI Baxter, aged 24, who was de-
scribed as an engine-driver in the employ of the Eastern
Counties Railway Company, was.placed in the dock charged
with feloniously killing and slaying one Vincent Lodwick,
by carelessly and negligently driving an express train on the
Eastern Counties Railway.
Mr. Ballantine, by the direction of the SheriTs conducted
the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended the
prisoner.
It is right to state that the grand jury had ignored
the bill, and that the prisoner was indicted on the Coroner's
inquisition.
Mr. BA LLANTINE, in stating the facts of the case to the
jury, said that the prisoner was charged with havingby wan-
ton negligence, whilst driving an express engine on the
Eastern Counties Railway, caused the death of Vincent
Lodwick. If any one were guilty it certainly was not the
prisoner, who- had merely acted in the discharge of his duty,
with every precaution and propriety. After reading over
the evidence given before the Coroner, and considering all
the,.circumstances of the case, he (Mr. Ballantiue) thought
it consistent with his duty to the Court to say that he will-
ingly agreed to a verdict of not guilty being returned.
Mr. PARRY, who appeared for the prisoner, said he trusted
that the Court would express an opinion that there was not
any ground for making the charge, and that the prisoner
left the court without any imputation resting upon his cha-
racter, skill, or judgment. The prisoner's livelihood depended
upon his good character, and it was of the greatest im-
portance to him that he should leave the court without any
stain upon his character and without any disparagement as
to his skill and qualifications as an engine-driver.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, iu directing the jury to acquit
the prisoner, said that. it did not appear that any blame
rested upon him ; but the Court could not say anything
more in his favour, as there were no facts before them which
would justify them in so doing.
The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the
prisoner was discharged.

N E W COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
The following pleaded guilty and were sentenced :
James Brown, for entering a dwelling-house and stealing
a quantity of bacon, tea, &c., and 101. in money, was sen-
tenced to seven years' transportation ; John Cotton, for bur-
glary, and stealing a gimblet, valued ld., twelve calendar
months' imprisonment; John Howell, for stealing handker-
chief, seven years' transportation; Dinah Rowley, for steal-
ing waistcoat from her master, six months' imprisonment;
Sarah Rogers, for stealing spoons, twelve months.
William Spencer, was charged with burglary, and stealing
a coat. He was caught by the wife of the prosecutor, Mr.
Sharling, solicitor, 3, Ivory-cresent, Islington, in the act of
putting on a coat in one of the rooms of the house. The
prisoner made off immediately, and was brought back about
twenty minutes afterwards by the police. Counsel for the
prisoner Npon this raised the question of identity, and cross-
examined witness on this point, but she was positive in her
statement that the prisoner was the depredator, who when
charged had asked to be forgiven.
Not'guilty of burglary—Guilty of stealing.
Charles George Watson, carman, aged 22, was charged with
stealing eight ingots of copper, the property of the St.
Katharine's Dock Company.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted ; Mr. Parry defended.
About 3,708 ingots of copper were brought from abroad by
the ship Bullfinch, and entrusted to the care of the St. Ka-
therine's Dock Company, and (with the exception of about
208 ingots) lodged in one of their vaults. Aoout 68 ingots
had been missed, and the question the jury would have to
consider was, whether a considerable ponied of this had not
been stolen by the prisoner on the morning of the 31st of
December. Ile prisoner was acquainted with the docks,
and had doubtless been in the vault where the copper was
placed. About ten o'clock the prisoner arrived in his cart,
and was seen •by a messenger watching from one of the loop-
holes of a warehouse, with his cart standing immediately
over the vault in which the copper was deposited. The men
go to lunch about twelve o'clock, and soon after that time
he was seen putting straw into his cart. He was asked what
he was doing there, and he said he had come for canes. The
cart was then searched, the straw removed, and the copper
found which was the subject of this indictment. He was
asked for his papers (which the witnesses explained were ne-
cessary as giving authority to remove goods), but he had
none. He was asked for whom be was removing, and he
said for a Jew in Petticoat-lane, but he did not know where
he was going to take the copper.
Mr. Cutiticsox remarked that doubtless others were en-
gaged in the matter, but he thought the jury would have
no difficulty in agreeing that the prisoner was one of those
persons, and that availing himself of the opportunity which
the absence of the labourers afforded, he had committed the
robbery in question.
These facts were proved in evidence. The ingots found in
the cart bore the same brand as those in the vault. The
vault was usually locked, and the key was in the custody
of the warehouseman. He was not seen to remove any of
the ingots, though he was narrowly watched by one of the
witnesses, who during the two hours prisoner was on the
premises did not lose sight of him for more than seven mi-
nutes at a time. This fact was dwelt upon by the counsel
for the defence, as being greatly in favour of his client.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, recommending him to
mercy upon the ground that he had been the dupe of others.
On the application of Mr. CLARKSON, sentence was de-
ferred to next sessions.

MARLBRO'-S FREET.-(THIS DAY.)

BEGGING-LETTER IMPOSTER.—John Wilson Williams was
placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with at-
tempting to obtain money from the Marquis of Downshire,
21,,Cavendish-square, by fraudulent pretences.
His Lordship stated that about nine o'clock this morning,
while he was at breakfast, his servant brought him a letter
purporting to come from a person named Williams of Eden-
derry, and of which the subjoined is a copy :

"London.

" Mr. Williams, of Edenderry, presents his compliments to
the Marquis of Downshire, and will feel obliged for the
honour of an interview, on a little business.
" Thursday morning."
After reading the letter his Lordship recollected there was
a tradesman of the name of John Williams at Edenderry,
and thinking it was the same person his Lordship directed
his servant to show the prisoner into his Lordship's room.
Directly his Lordship had finished breakfast he went into the
room, and was quite astonished to see it was not the person
he thought. His Lordship said to the prisoner,
Tot are not John Williams of Edenderry."
The prisoner replied, Oh yes I am." His Lord-
ship rejoined, " No, you are not, you are from
Westminster." The prisoner then said, " No, lam not, lam
related to the Grattans of Edenberry ;" and he then showed
his Lordship certain prints, now produced, and began to
extol and puff them off in order to induce his Lordship to
become a purchaser. His Lordship, however, 'stopped him
by sending for a constable. His Lordship added, that he
was convinced the prisoner was an impostor from his shuf-
fling manner, and not being able to look his Lordship
straight in the face as an honest man would do, and he there-
fore gave him into custody.
Hinton, 1 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and
conveying him to the station, where he was searched, and
a quantity of papers, on which the addresses of half the no,-
bilityin the country were written, were found upon him.

Webb, one of the Mendicity constables, said the: prisoner
was well known to him as a begging-letter writer; he had
been in custody several times, but witness could not say
whether he had been committed.
Mr. BillanAm directed the prisoner to be put back for the
attendance of Horsford, whom it was stated could prove a
former convictio❑ against the prisoner.

WINDSOR ELECTION.—WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—
The new writ moved for last night in the House of Com-
mons for the election of a Member of Parliament for the
royal borough, in consequence of Mr. Hatchell, since his
election (just twelve months ago), having been appointed
Attorney-General of Ireland, has created very little excite-
ment, in consequence of there not appearing the most remote
probability of
any attempt being made to oppose that gen-
tleman's re-election. It will be remembered that Mr. Hat-
chell was returned for Windsor last February upon Lord John
Hay vacating his seat (on his appointment as Port-Saperin-
tendent of Devonport Dockyard), by his acceptance of the
stewardship of Northstead. Rumours were afloat at the
period of Mr. Hatchell's appointment to the Attorney-Gene-
ralship of Ireland, to the effect that some efforts would be
made to bring forward an opponent to contest the represen-
tation of the borough ; but the strength of the Government
and Castle influence is considered to be of far too powerful
and overwhelming a character to justify the most transient
hope of success. On the day of nomination Mr. Hatchell,
it is expected, will be proposed by Mr. J. T. Bedborough,
one of the magistrates of the borough ; and Mr. Henry Dar-
vill, solicitor, will second the nomination. The Learned
Gentleman avows himself to be a friend to civil and religious
liberty, a strong advocate of the principles of free trade, and
a warm supporter of the measures and policy of the present
Government.
The announcement that the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer will this year make his financial statement as early
as the 14th of February, so as to give time for a full consi-
deration of whatever alterations may be proposed, was re-
ceived in the City yesterday with much satisfaction. Last
• year the statement was made on the 15th of March.

LEAD IN CALlFORNlA.—California is noted for her

--- -
resources of every character. Every day brings to view and
developes more fully her hidden treasures. We have been
informed, on creditable authority, that a large mine of lead,
in an almost pure state, exists several miles north-east of
the emigrant road, about 11 miles above Johnson's Manche.
It was discovered by two Irishmen who were emigrating to
this country, and who bad wandered from the road several
! miles in pursuit of stock. They at once supposed it to be a
siTVer mine; and that their fortunes were "done made."
They brought a large quantity to Mr. Johnson's Ranche ; it
was examined and found to be very rich lead ore, containing
probably 95 per cent. of lead. Vast quantities could readily
be obtained without the sinking of a shaft or the driving of
a level, since the ore is represented to lie upon the surface of
the earth in large boulders. In the course of time it is quite
probable that the mine will be worked, and as no scientific
examination has been made it is fair to presume that the ore
contains a fair proportion of silver, the latter being generally
found to a greater or less extent in all lead mines.—Ncw
York Paper.
It appears probable that an application will be made
to Parliament by the depositors in the Rochdale Savings
,Bank for a grant to make good the losses sustained by the
defalcations of the actuary.
