SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
statement of its progress and prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought
before the public with equal prosp_ct of speedy and successful
results.
The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc-
tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by
them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure
an enormous dividend within a few months.
Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been
in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors
for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained
by him during that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt ey were, in effct.„llitlie should make every possible inquiry
osiatiuswiedB/40/16kra-conitifYr-the tenure of land, the com-
parative merit; of the different quartz veins in the several districts
of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors
as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible.
Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the
Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under-
take mining operations, but to crush and anaa'garnate quartz to
be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised
the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great
experience in geology and mining matters, he has inspected and
tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass
Valley, and other districts, and has mine to the conclusion,
upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and
Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car-
rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree-
nient with some Arr erican gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass ,Valley and Nevada
Cit., and about thirty miles train Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mine opened by
them. By means of machinery, he has already cru hed
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup-
plied him from this mine; and the result of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., Bcc. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in
a few words, amounts to this: he is to be supplied by them with as
much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing;
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ;
he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and
the g Id produced is to be divided equally between the owners
of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arrangement fairly and honestly, and
"ithoat any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day.
with funds sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under
the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected
delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a
return will be made about Christmas next.
For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company,
and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits
of other Companies, the Directors are desirous of calling attention
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com-
pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies
must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons interested in
selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident
Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only
interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other
Companies generally base the estimate of the value of
their mine upon calculations founded on experiments
upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments
tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and
crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to
incur the expense and risk of carrying out miniug operations
upon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should
their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their
profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure
as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-tentage
Oe
royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the
parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact
merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex-
pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the
new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before
their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work.
The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An
almost certain estimate of the produce of oar machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve
months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which
we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 11.
I7s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461.
13s. 4d., or 373/. 6s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company
By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based
upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must
necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling.
In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations
of their own, arrangements have been made securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendeied him their
Services.
The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this
Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the
Dire -tory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab-
lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken
for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be converted for the middle of January.
In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the
Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they
pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for-
warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can-
not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of
leasca and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for
the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed
by Colonel Fremont. The ditticulta, arising out of the many points
now raised relative to the tenure oil and under leases, had been long
known to and was maturely considered by those having the control
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to pursue for the present tine course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results.
The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve Of the prudence
of the course they have adopted.
Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices of the
Company.

HEADS OF THE NEW REFORM BILL.
Conjectures are plentiful as blackberries in season upon the
subject of the New Reform Bill : of the many parties who long for
change some idea may be formed when it is announced that, of three
hundred proposals, scarcely two are alike. Of course they all want
a change, but the precise quality of that change is different. They
all want a change for the better, and each has his remedy for present
evils, and his provision for future good. We need hardly say there
are scarcely two that are at all comportable with each other. They
all call it an extension of the franchise. We like to see the reformers
begin by reforming themselves, and if they see an evil which they
can of themselves cure by a little personal risk or sacrifice, let them
do it. When the population of this country almost groaned under
the heavy burdens imposed on the articles of dress, and it was
difficult for men of limited income• to appear in decent clothing,
Messrs. E. MO =ES and SON devoted an immense capital to effect a
reform. There were only two heads for their Reform Bill: first,
that in future dolling should be made better, and of better materials,
than they had ever been ; and, second, that the price should be re-
duced one-half; and perhaps they were the only men who could
carry out the reform in the face of thousands of tailors whose trade
it injured, or rather whose extortion it checked. Ever since they
determined to reform the system of clothing, and put it into every
man's power to dress better than before, and at half the price, the
public have been saving to the amount of millions ; and now let
anybody and everybody step into the Monarch Mart, or the West-end
Branch Establi.hment, and see the materials from all parts of the
world made up in a style which no firm in London could equal,
designs which none but their own artists could produce, neatness and
strength of workmanship which none but their own admirable staff
of the best men in Europe could attempt, and it will be at once ob-
served that they have effected a much greater public benefit by their
reform than ever Lord John Russell could. Let his Lordship try to
reduce the price of anything wanted by all classes to half, and en-
sure it better, as E. MOSES and SON have done dress, and we
shall be delighted. At present Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S Reform
is the most Substantial of all that has been attempted.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, Nov. 25.
The wheat trade barely supported the firmness of late
market days, and .a trifle in favour of the buyer was sub-
mitted to by the growers; choice white wheats, however,
commanded full prices. We Ind a large show of barley;
best malting qualities sold readily, but they were a little
easier to buy; secondary qualities appeared a very heavy
sale, tho sellers not being willing to submit to lower
prices. Beans and peas scarce and dear.

HULL, Nov. 25.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states:—Since
our last report the weather has been mild, until last
night, when we had a sharp frost. Imports continue on
the same scale as of late, barely sufficient for immediate'
wants, and all articles maintain their value. At to-day's
market we had a moderate show of wheat from our
farmers, condition not very good, and the sale slow at
about last week's rates. Very little doing in foreign
wheat, on account of small supplies, but export enquiry
for low qualities still continues. Malting barley has
been offering more freely, and secondary qualities only
sell slowly. Of grinding the supply is still inadequate to
the demand, and prices are well supported. In other
descriptions of spring corn we note no alteration, but
the market remains firm; some descriptions of peas are
Is. dearer. Linseed is the turn dearer. The milder
weather has somewhat checked the rise in cakes, but
71. 15s. is generally paid; and some crushers ask 81. In
rapeseed or cakes very little passing.

MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at
Paris is at about par (according to the new tariff), which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17; and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.14, it follows
that gold is about 0.18 per cent, dearer in Paris than in
London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. lOid..per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13.7 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13.71, it follows that gold is 0.35. per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is
11l per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of England;
and, after making allowance for difference of interest and
charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit en
the importation of gold from the United States.

DIRECT EXETER, PLYMOUTH, AND DEVONFORT
RAILWAY.—On Monday a meeting Was held before Master Sir
William Horne, when Mr. Roxburgh, on the part of the
official manager, asked the Master to make a call of 4001.
a-piece on those parties who had been fixed as contributo-
ries. Mr. Terrell, on behalf of the managing directors, op;
posed the application, on the ground that a petition which
had been presented to the Court to discharge the winding-up
order had not yet been adjudicated upon. The Master said
that upon this statement he could not do otherwise than ad-
journ the meeting.
THE NORTHERN COAL TRADE.—Considerable
stagnation is caused in the coal trade of Northumberland and
Durham by the long detention of a large fleet of light col-
liers, some 600 sail, which are wind-bound in Burlington-
bay by the prevailing north-east winds. Not above a dozen
colliers have arrived in the Tyne this week. The effect of
this is, that freights have run up to 9s. per ton for coals to
London from the Tyn6, and prices have increased in the
same ratio in London ; the London coal merchants taking
advantage of an accidental circumstance to increase their

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, Nov. 25

(Before Sir Rica Aim KINDERSLEY.)
SOLTAU V. DEHELD.—RINGING OF BELLS IN A ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHAPEL.
__

Upon Mr. Malins getting up to move for an in-
junction in this case to restrain the ringing of bells in
the chapel of the Redemptorist Fathers at Clapham,
pursuant to notice, the senior leading counsel ob-
jected, on the ground that leave to give short notice
of motion did not entitle the counsel moving to
priority.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the rule, as he
understood it, was, that the senior counsel always
took precedence, except where the matter was of a
very pressing nature, in which case the right of
seniority was passed over. When, however, several
counsel represented the cases in which they were
severally concerned as all very pressing, the Court
must, of course, call upon.the senior counsel to move.
I❑ this particular case, though leave had been given
to give notice of motion for to-day, it did not at all
follow that the motion could be brought on. He
thought, therefore, that the senior counsel were en-
titled to precedence.
Several motions were then made by the senior
Counsel.

Mr. MALINS—Then now, Sir, I have to move for
an injunction to restrain the ringing of the bells in
the Roman Catholic chapel at Clapham. I under-
stand my Learned Friend Mr. l3agshawe has some
application to make for time.
Mr. BAGSHAWE—Sir, the defendant against whom
this motion is directed is abroad. A copy of the
subpoena and of the notice of motion was left at his
house-on Saturday last. We shall not be able to get
a copy of the bill until to-morrow. I have there-
fore to ask that the motion may stand over for the
present._

Mr. MALINS—What time do you ask to file your
affidavits ?

Mr. BAGSIIAWN—UntiI Saturday.
Mr. MALINS—WiII you undertake not to repeat the
nuisance on Sunday next ?
Mr. BAGSHAWE—My instructions are not to con-
sent to any understanding whatsoever.
Mr. MALINS—Then, Sir, rather than give your
Honour the trouble of hearing a discussion at this
stage of the case, I, in the exercise of my discretion,
will expose my client to the nuisance for one Sunday
more. I shall ask your Honour, however, to hear the
motion on Monday next.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Your client had better
spend his Sunday at Richmond, Mr. Malins.
The matter then dropped.
(Before Sir JAMES PARKER.)
BUXTON V. JAMES.

Mr. KENYON PARKER and Mr. HESLOP CLARKE
applied for the postponement, until the next seal, of a
motion for an injunction restraining the defendant
from selling the portions of No. 111 of the Pianista;
or the Italian Opera and Promenade Concert Maga-
zine ; or Pianoforte and Vocal Music, containing
three pianoforte solos from Mendelsshon's original
composition of music to Shakspere's Midsummer
„Night's Dream, called or termed respectively the
" Scherzo," the " Notturno," and the " Wedding
March ;" and also from reprinting any further copies
of the same number, containing the said pieces, or
any of them, except the overture thereof, as further
affidavits were required to be filed by the defendant.
Mr. C. HALL, for the defendant, undertook that no
gale of music specified should take place in the mean
time.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nei. 25.
REGINA V. THE DEAN OF THE ARCHES COURT.
In this case the Court had granted a rule to show
cause why a prohibition should not issue to the Dean
of the Arches Court of Canterbury prohibiting him
from further proceeding in a suit instituted in that
court by the churchwardens of Brighton against a
person named Bentley, for the non-payment of a
church-rate made by the minority of a vestry con-
vened for the purpose. The ground upon which the
rule had been granted was, that the decision of the
Court of Excb€ quer Chamber in the Braintree case,
in which it had been held that the churchwardens and
a minority of the vestry could make a valid rate,
was about to be reviewed in the House of Lords.
Mr. PEACOCK, Q.C., who obtained the rule, having
mentioned the case this day,
Lord CAMPBELL said it was one of very great im-
portance, and it was the opinion of the Court that the
rule should be enlarged till judgment had been given
in the House of Lords in " Gosling v. Veley."—Rule
enlarged accordingly.

BUSINESS OF THE COURT.
Lord CAMPBELL said he wished to give notice, for
the information of the bar, that next term the Nisi
Prins sittings in the Bail Court would commence at
ten instead of eleven o'clock; and that on those days
the Court would not go through the bar.
The Court rose this day at half-past two o'clock, an
unusually early hour for the last day of term.

BAIL COURT, Nov. 25.
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice EaLE.)
THE QUEEN V. ALLEYNE AND ANOTHER.
In this case an indictment was pending, under
which the defendants were charged with obtaining
from a Captain Kennedy a sum of 8,0001. by alleged
false pretences upon the subject of certain horse-races.
A rule nisi having been obtained on a former day
calling upon the prosecutor to furnish the defendants
with a statement specifying the particular matters
which they proposed to prove, on the ground that se-
veral of the counts in the indictment were vague and
uncertain.
Mr. E. JAMES (with Mr. Hawkins) appeared to
show cause against the rule, on the grounds that
although the trial was pending for a considerable time
the defendants never thought it necessary to raise
this objection until about a week ago, and the prose-
cutor believed that the application had been made for
the mere purpose of delay.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE having distinctly disclaimed
such an intention on the part of the defendants,
Mr. Justice ERLE recommended the prosecutor to
furnish a statement to the defendants to the effect
that the general counts in the indictment were to be
supported by the same evidence that was to support
those other counts that were specifically brought
forward.

It was ultimately agreed upon that a statement
should be drawn up by the Learned Judge by the fol-
lowing morning to the above effect, the defendants
binding themselves to interpose no delay in the case
being
.tried at the time already fixed.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 25.
Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS
and Justices MAUL; WILLIAMS, and TALFOURD.)

IN RE AN ATTORNEY.

Mr. HUMFRE;,Q76,shovedcse against a rule
Calling upon an attorney of the Court to answer cer-
tain matters alleged in affidavits against him, and
charging him with a fraudulent alteration of a deed
of settlement. The Learned Counsel stated that the
application arose solely out of a quarrel, in which
strong language was used between two attorneys, both
of whom were most respectable gentlemen. The
quarrel arose first out of a dispute as to which of these
gentlemen should go to the office of the other to in-
spect a deed of settlement. This led to a demand for
some extracts from the deed on a particular point, and
the clerk of the gentleman against whom the rule was
obtained having copied rather more of the deed than
related to that exact point, his employer scratched out
the superfluous part, in order that his antagonist
might not receive more information than he was
obliged to give him. The mother-in-law of one of
the parties to the deed had executed it ; but, in con-
sequence of the dispute between attorneys, the gelltle-
man who caused the rule to be moved
for required that she should execute it
again, upon which the others exclaimed, in a pet, to
her " Well, to please the baby, do it over again;"
and it was done accordingly; but the gentleman was
so offended at this observation that he caused the pre-
sent rule to be moved for. He was prepared with
affidavits to show that no fraud whatever was in-
tended by the cancellation of the copy of the parts of
the deed required, and that it was done solely for the
reason above mentioned.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What do you propose
to do ? Or is this rule simply to show us that both
these gentlemen are unfit for business, since they
cannot keep their tempers ?
Mr. lIUMFREY said no arrangement whatever had
been come to on the subject; but as his client ad-
mitted he ought not to have used the words com-
plained of, and was sorry that he had done so, he
would suggest that the matter should drop.
Mr. BRAMWELL, Q.C., was willing the rule should
be disposed of as the Court thought fit; but he could
not admit that there had been any want of temper on
the part of his c:ient.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—If this crse were in
the list it might be struck out, end that course had
better be taken with it.—Order accordingly.
CAWS 'V. SEAMAN.
This was an action of debt on a proctor's bill. The
defendant pleaded a tender of 71. 155., which was
admitted, and as to the rest never indebted. At the
trial before Mr. Justice Maule the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff, with 181: damages; Upon
these facts the defendant applied for a suggestion to
deprive the plaintiff of his costs on the ground that he
ought to have bged in the Small Debts Court of the

city of London ; but the application was refused, on
the ground that it was a case in which the Small
Debts Court had no jurisdiction. Application was
then made to Mr. Justice Cresswell for an order for
the Master to tax the plaintiff's costs, but that also
was refused, and then a rule was
obtained for that
purpose in this court.
Mr. BREWER now showed cause against the rule,
and contended that, as the plaintiff had not "re-
covered " 201. by verdict or judgment, but only 18/.,
he was not entitled to costs, although the sum actually
claimed and obtained by him, including the amount
tendered, was 25/. 15s.
Mr. WILLES, in support of the rule, referred to the
case of " Frew v. Squire," in which the Court de-
cided that the word "recover," in the 11th section
of the County Courts Extension Act, was not limited
to a recovery by verdict,
Mr. Justice MAIILE—Yes ; we will stick by that.
Common sense still lingers in the superior courts.--
Rule absolute.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Ncv. 25.
(Sittings in Banco.)
HORNIDGE v. HAWKINS.
This was an action on an attorney's bill, and was
ried before Mr. Baron Martin, when a verdict was
found for the plaintiff. His Lordship ordered the
defendant to be bound over to take his trial for
perjury.
Mr. WATSON now applied for a rule for a new trial
on the ground that the verdict was against the weight
of the evidence. The case was of the most vital
importance to the defendant, who remained under the
stigma of perjury; it was as though there bad been
a finding of a true bill against him by a grand jury.
It would become a most serious thing if the result of
a verdict being given against a party to a suit who
gave evidence himself was to be his committal for
perjury.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—That will not necessa-
rily take place. I should not commit a person unless
I agreed with the jury in their verdict.
Mr. Baron MARTIN—When the jury retired in this
case I did not know which way I should have given
the verdict if I had been on the jury.
The defendant's case was that he had not employed
the plaintiff, but that a person of the name of Jordan,
an attorney's clerk, was really engaged to do the
work, the plaintiff only lending his name. Jordan's
letter's to defendant plainly showed that this was the
case, and the plaintiff,produced a memorandum which
he had drawn up of the terms on which Ilornidge's
name was required, which Jordan had signed. This
was alleged to be a forgery, Jordan denying that he
had ever been at defendant's lodgings when the do-
cument was signed ; but a witness proved that he
had been there about the time of the signing the me-
morandum.
Mr. Baron MARTIN—But the defendant's own
letters were against his own case. In these letters
he speaks of plaintiff as his attorney. In his evi-
dence, too, he said he was indignant at receiving
plaintiff's bill, and immediately went and remon-
strated with him, and that plaintiff then agreed to
withdraw it, but a letter of defendant had been put
in on the receipt of the bill, in which he said that he
had not time to look into it then. This was a mani-
fest inconsistency. It strikes me that we must inter-
fere more with verdicts than we had hitherto been
accustomed to do; but I cannot say that I was dis-
satisfied with this verdict.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—For my own part I shall
never commit unless I am dissatisfied with the verdict
of the jury.
Mr. WATSON—Suppose the jury at the Old Bailey
should think differently to the former jury, and acquit
the defendant?
The CHIEF BARON—Nothing more likely, because
in a criminal case the jury would be bound to give
any doubt they may have in favour of the prisoner ;
but in a civil case, the slightest balance of evidence
one way is sufficient to induce a jury to give their
verdict on that side.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I agree that in ordinary
cases a jury in a civil cause are bound to give their
verdict for that side on which there is any preponde-
rance of evidence; but where the question is, as it
frequently will be now, which of the parties had
committed perjury, I think the jury ought to be slow
in coming to a conclusion ; I think it would be very
proper for them in such cases to say that they are not
clear on the matter, and give no verdict. In this case
the issues which had to be tried were whether the
plaintiff and Jordan had committed perjury, or who.
ther defendant had committed perjury and forgery—
whether plaintiff had done that which subjected him
to be struck off the rolls, and Jordan that which sub-
jected aim to a year's imprisonment, and all this
arising out of the defendant's foolish endeavour to get
cheap law.
Mr. WATsoN—Defendants must now prepare in
all cases to be committed where the plaintiff has the
last word.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I must come to this—that
the defendant's counsel must be heard after his evi-
dence had been given. This was recommended in the
report of the former Law Reform Commissioners
twenty years ago.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—We should be placing
ourselves in the place of the jury, the constitutional
judges of matters of fact, if we were to grant this
rule. They heard and saw the witnesses, which we
cannot do, and their verdict has been acted on by the
judge, who, we are informed, is not dissatisfied with
the verdict. It is admitted that there was evidence
on both sides; the question on which side the weight
of that evidence was is peculiarly for the jury to con-
sider.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—We should only be able to
interfere where fresh evidence has been procured since
the trial.
Mr. Baron MARTIN—I think I should have given
the same verdict. Perhaps the true solution of the
matter is, that Jordan deceived both parties.—Rule
refused.

Mr. ATKINSON then applied to have the recogni-
sauces of the plaintiff and Jordan enlarged until the
next sitting but one at the Old Bailey.
Their LORDSHIPS, however, said that there was no
provision in the Act for making the recognizances
returnable into this court, they had therefore no con-
trol over them.
Mr. GREAVES, amicus curiae, said that all the par-
ties were bound to appear at the next sittings at the
Old Bailey ; when there they would be able to apply
to the presiding judge.
Mr. Baron PARKE said he should be there, and
would look to it. There ought to be a power to en-
large somewhere, but it was doubtful where it was.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—The application is
wrong now; we don't say that it will be right
elsewhere.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron PLATT and
Common Juries.)

BOULTEN V. HEALEY.-COMMITTALOF THE PLAINTIFF

FOR PERJURY.

This part•heard case was resumed.
The action was to recover compensation for an ex-
cessive distress.

Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. Grady, appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Humphrey, with Mr. Hance,
was counsel for the defendant.

Although the inquiry occupied the greater part of
Monday and the whole of yesterday, until half-past
six in the evening, the facts were very few, and may
be thus stated :

The plaintiff for upwards of twenty years has been
a tenant of the defendant's occupying the house, No.
53, Albany-street, tßegent's-park, and for a long
series of years was regular in his payment of the rent.
Of late, however, he has fallen into errear, and at
length, in April last, the defendant put in a distress
for 871. 10s. for " five" quarters arrears. The plain-
tiff, however, contended, and upon the present
a
sion swore, that he was but " one" quarter in
tahroereecaarn
and as a proof of that fact put in a receipt of
de-
fendant's of the sth of February last, which was
acknowledgment of the payment of one quarter's rent

had, as it were, mechanically written this receipt in
the same way. The next morning, however, when he
was about to enter the

" Christmas, 1849:' When' he nest craned on the
plaintiff he told him of the mistake, and that there
was still the rent for 1850 unpaid. The plaintiff then
said that the receipt WS in his attorney's hand, and
that he shuuld be guided by that gentleman's advice
in the matter. The defendant remonstrated with him
upon this course of conduct, but could obtain no more
satisfactory answer. After the fifrh quarter, there-
fore, became due, he had felt that it was incumbent on
him t) put in the distress. The sum realised did not
neer cover his claim, not even half.
The plaintiff also swore that on the 10th of August,
1850, the son of the defendant had called and re-
quested that he would pay the sum of 101. on account
of the then quarter's rent, to enable him to meet a
bill of bis father's, who was abroad at the time, and
that he had done so. He then said that on the 4th of
NOvember following his wife had taken down the ha-
lance, 71. 103. for the quarter, and that the defendant
had himself given a receipt for that sum and the 101.
for rent due At Michaelmas, 1850.
