defendant sold a horse at Barnet to the plaintiff for 71.
10s., having just before bought it for 71. On the follow-
ing day plaintiff took it to a farrier's to be shod, but he
refused to have it on his premises because it was so badly

such a bad state that jt was shot. The plaintiff, a ship

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings at Nisi Priam, in London, before Mr. Justice

Cresswell and a Common Jury.)

FRENCH Y. STYRING—HORSE-RACING TRANSACTIoNS.
This was an action to recover various sums of money,
claimed to be due to the plaintiff i❑ respect of horse-
racing transactions between him and the defendant.
Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Atherton and Mr. Manisty for the
defendant.

The rlaintiff was a trainer of horses at Newmarket,
and the defendant was a publican at Huddersfield. It
appeared that in the spring of 1354 a horse named Cen-
sus had won three races at Warwick, and also one at
Northampton. The last was a selling race, and accord-
ing to the terms of it Census was sold by auction, the
price obtained being 250 guineas. It was arranged that
the plaintiff and defendant should own the horse in equal
moieties, and another-part of the arrangement was that
29/., then due to the plaintiff for training the horse,
should be paid by the defendant. After tiat expenses
were incurred, in respect of Census, to such an amount
that the defendant's half would be 176/. Another part
of the case related to a horse named Autocrat, which
was a favourite for the Derby in 1854, and the plaintiff,
at the defendant's request, backed Autocrat for 1001.,
which the plaintiff subsequently paid ; and there was
another bet of 251. under similar circumstances. The
plaintiff now sought to recover the 29/. and the 1761.
for expenses in connection with Census, and 1251. for
the bets. The plaintiff and other persons were called to
prove these facts.

Evidence was also given for the defendant, and the
defence set up was, that the plaintiff and defendant were
partners i❑ reference to Census, and that a suit at law
could not be maintained in reference to the partnership
transaction. As to the 1001. bet, it was said that the
plaintiff had not complied with the defendant's direc-
tion to send him word the next day that he had made
the bet, and also that he had disobeyed his instructions,
by taking 3 to 1 instead of 3i to 1.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 265/. lla.
101, subject to the opinion of the Court with respect to
the question as to the partnership.

lert Beale, in conjunction with Mr. E. T. Smith, having
come to an end, the more legitimate business of the
house recommenced last night—the prices, too, return.
ing to the former economical tariff. The amusing drama
entitled " Aggravating Sam," played so many times at
the Lyceum, was revived for the occasion. In this, as
well as in the " Captain of the Watch," which followed,
Mr. Charles Mathews and Robert Roxby filled their
old parts, and with the old success. The audience
were delighted to once more encounter the pertina-
cious Sam, who only lives but to worry and perplex
his neighbours. The entertainments terminated with
"Two Heads better than One," and a ballet divertisse-
ment, in which Mdles. Emilie and Jenny Osmont were
announced to dance.

COMMON PLEAS.

:Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Cresswell and
a Common Jury.)
WICKINS V. STEEL AND ANOTHER.

This was an action for the recovery of the amount of
an attorney's bill. The question involved was the
liability of George Steele, one of the defendants. It
appeared that one Alexander Steel held certain land
some years since at New C rose, warier the Haberdashers'
Company, and ended on business there as a market-
gardener, his brother George, formerly a gentleman's
servant, assisting him with money. During the occu-
pation of the land some alterations took place on
the South• Eastern Railway, and the plaintiff
was employed by Alexander Steel to conduct an
action against the company for compensation, and it
was in respect of that the bill of costs was claimed
against George, as partner, his brother Alexander
having left this country for America.

The Jury, under the direction of the Judge, returned
a verdict for the defendants generally, with leave for the
plaintiff to move to enter the verdict as against Alex•
ander Steel, the jury being of opinion George Steel was
not liable.

The learned Judge said he had power to strike the
name of George Steel out of the record.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.)

SOUTH WARK.

THE ALLEGED ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. James
Callaghan, a tall powerful-looking fellow, well known
to the police, was brought before Mr. Burcham for final
examination, charged with assaulting Mrs. Barriett
Scotter, the wife of a beershop keeper in Long-alley,
Moorfields, and robbing her of 9/. 7s. From the evi-
dence taken on Friday last, from Wm. Layton, a trades.
man, residing at 16, Castle street, Kent-street, it ap-
peared that on the previous evening the prosecutrix (his
sister) paid a visit to his family. Between 10 and 11
she left, and witness, his wife, and a Mr. Ross accom-
panied her to put her in a cab to go home. They had
not gone far when Mrs. Scotter was knocked down and
kicked about, and Mr. Layton, his wife, and Mr. Ross
went up to protect her, when they were surrounded by
the prisoner and three others and dreadfully ill-used, so
much so that the prosecutrix was so ill, as well as Airs.
Layton, that they were unable to attend to give their
evidence.

Mrs. Sootter now attended, and said that she was
walking with Mrs. Layton along Xent-street on Thurs-
day night last to look for a cab to go home. Mr. Lay-
ton and Mr. Ross followed behind. Just as they came
to the Crown the prisoner rushed up to her, seized her
by the shoulders, and putting one of his knees on her
stomach threw her into the road. She was then kicked
about until she became insensible. She thought at the
time that she had been robbed of 9/. 7.3., but when she
got home she f,rtunately ascertained that she had left
it in her dressing-table.
Mr. Burch= sentenced the prisoner to two months'
hard labour in the House of Correction.
London, England, 1856-01-14

COMMON SEAL.

Mr. LoWMAN TAYLOR brought up the amended re-
port of the committee for devising a common seal. The
committee suggested that the large seal should have the
arms of Surrey, used by the Clerk of the Peace for that
county, and the arms for Colchester, introduced into
the seal. The cost would be 30 guineas. A small cor-
responding seal, of the same design, would cost four
guineas. That the committee be empowered to carry
ont the terms of this report.—Agreed to.

HERAT.

The last India mail brought intelligence from
Cabul respecting the affairs at Herat to Nov. 1.
The Sindian of Dec. 8 has the following ;
The intelligence from Herat is horrible : the whole of
Yar Mahomed's family, old and young, have been put to
death except the mother of the two princes who were
recently murdered by the Persian troops. She had great
influence in Herat ; in fact, she administered the affairs
of the state, and was called "the Newab of Herat."
Her life was spared with the view of extorting from her
the treasure she was known to have possessed ; but she
was prepared for this, for on the murder of her two sons
she collected all her jewels and burnt them, and allowed
her slaves to distribute the spoil among themselves. She
is now tortured with red hot irons to give up her hidden
wealth. We do not apprehend immediate hostilities un-
less the Persians advance beyond Herat. With Herat
itself Dust Mahomed and his allies have strictly nothing
to do ; and we doubt much whether the British lion will
strecth out his paw until a more satisfactory casus Lein
is established.
The news from Candahar is of a very warlike nature.
Now that Htrat is taken by the Suddeojees, the invete-
rate enemies of the Barukzyes, Dost Mahomed has ad-
dressed his brothers of Candabar, entreating them to
forget all former disagreements and joined together
to prevent the encroachments of the common enemy.
To this the Candahar chiefs have all agreed, and are
wing every exertion to raise as formidable a force
as possible, to form a chain from Candahar to Bulkb,
the highway to Herat, where Gholam Hyder Shan is at
present with about 10,000 troops. When the forces of
Dost Mahomed and the Candabar chiefs unite, it is cal-
(minted they will muster about 70,000 men and about 80
guns.
London, England, 1856-01-14

ceived by that opportunity of improved prices in the
Manchester market encouraging the hope of a corre-
sponding improvement with us ; but in this we have
been most grievously disappointed, some few holders
who have hitherto been looked upon among the firmest
having come forward with their large stocks, held for
years (at a high cost), and pressing sales at prices below
the current ones of the day, which is perfectly myste-
rious, there being no lack on the part of dealers to take
off a large amount of goods, it being ascertained, by those
conversant with the market, that the stock in the bazaar
is remarkably light, and that recent purchases have
found their way into the country without delay. This cir-
cumstance of itself is a satisfactory proof of the healthy
state of our import market ; and which, had not this
most unaccountable anxiety displayed on the part of one
or two firms to force sales taken place, there is little
room for doubt but that the decline in prices which the
sales noted below too clearly exhibit would not have oc-
curred, and we still do not despair when the market be.
comes more composed of seeing a change for the better.
Grey shirtings of 40 in. of 71bs. have declined 2 to 3
annas per piece ; above that weight prices have fallen
by 1 to 2 annas, the same decline having taken place in
45 is. ; 50 in. have still further declined, supplies being
heavy.
Grey long cloths of all descriptions have declined from

1 to 2 annas per piece,
Grey T Clothe.—The sales have been extensive, and
although not in so great demand as formerly, have not
particularly given way.
Grey Domestics are occasionally inquired after, and
maintain former prices.
Grey Jacconets are orly put off with great difficulty,
inquil'fb'eltigVory dol'.At3d tio o-i sales have been lited,
Bleached Goods are not in demand, producing corres-
pondingly low prices.
Coloured Goode—The sales have been limited, these
goods being difficult to put off at almost any prices.
Yarns have declined, and the sales have been limited.

EXPORTS.
Almost every variety of produce has increased in
value. Cotton is 2 rupees higher per candy. We quote
for Comrawutty, Broach, and Surat rs. SO to 82 ; Dho-
lera, rs. 38 ; and good Coompta, rs. 84 to 85, this latter
only being procurable at two months' contract to arrive.
Linseed is procurable only at re. 6 per cwt. The fol-
lowing sales are reported :-2,000 cwt linseed at 51. 14s
per cwt ; 2,000 ditto, at 51. 15s ditto ; 200 cwt Niger
seed, 151. ditto ; 508 cwt Teel seed (white to arrive),
deliverable up to Feb. 20, 251. ditto.
Freights have slightly advanced, the rates for cotton
to Liverpool and London being from 31. 5s to 31. 10s per
ton, and for seeds 2s 6d higher to London. To China
little is doing at rs. 14 and 15 per candy.
Exchange on England for the past fortnight has had
an upward tendency, and we quote the business done
2s 1 11-16,1 to 2e 1 13-16 d for China, and first class
credits, and 2s 11d to 2s 2d for documents. On Calcutta
we quote rs. 101 at sight, and rs. ,9 at 60 days' sight.
On Madras re. 100.1 at sight, and re. 100 at 30 days'
sight, and on China rs. 218 at 60 days' sight.

tained an unimpaired popularity throughout a run of
130 nights. This evening Mr. Anderson wilt solicit the
suffrages of the public in the capacity of actor, making
his appearance as the redoubted Scottish freebooter, in
the drama of Rob Roy. In Scotland and America his

nouaced eminently successful, and we look forward to
the confirmation of the favourable verdict by a
London audience to-night. Helen M'Gregor will be
impersoiated by Mrs, J. Wallack ; Mr. Gonrlay,
well known to the Edinburgh and Glasgow audiences,
will fill the part of the Bailie, in which he is said to

Perrin will sustain the part of Frank Osbaldistou, Mr.
Stuart that of Rashleigh, and Mr. Sam. Cowell, the wide.
famed comic singer, that of Major Galbraith. Diana

Anderson, both as manager and actor, in the perform•
ance of Rob Roy.

and the Princess Mary visited the Cambridge Asylum
for Soldiers' Widows at Kingston, on Friday, and gra-
ciously_presented to each of the inmates a sum of money

rive additional value in the estimation of the recipients
from the fact of their having been worked by their
Royal Highnesses.

hospitality to a distinguished circle of friends. The Earl
and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers are
expected to arrive at Deane Park to-day.
