(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ars—Moderate and eqnitable
Rates of Premium for each class of rist —Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Cremium 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-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
,froached 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 the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against lots 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, fimm time to tin- e, 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 of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per Cent. of the nett
excess will he 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.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the °Mee, or to any of its Agents.

did not seem willing to submit to any reduction in the price
of their wheat; the sale was very stow, and could only be pro-
ceeded with at a reduction of ls per quarter. A few samples
of Malting barley appeared, but met a dull sale at last week's
prices.

HULL, APRIL 22.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Cikular stites :—The holi-
days are interfering a good deal with business just now, and
the transactions of the past week have been on a limited scale,
with more disposition to give way in price than noticeable
during the previous week. We have now fine genial weather,
and vegetation has made a rapid start : the country looks well.
The supply of farmers' wheat to-day was moderate, and mil-
lers were able to select best samples at some small reduction on
last week's rates ; good 631bs red wheat was worth 38s per
quarter, other qualities in proportion. The demand for barley
has slackened a good deal ; the fine weather is against a con-
tinuance' of malting, and only choice samples are now saleable
for this purpose ; there is also less demand for grinding quail.

quite as dear as last week. Nothing doing in peas. The lin-
seed market is quiet, with a moderate consumptive business—
a gooa sale for cakes at the beginning of last week, which the
fine weather rather checks. Nothing doing in rapeseed ; a fair
sale for cakes at our currency.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 22.—At this day's market there
was a fair attendance of town and country buyers, who,
however, acted with much caution, and only a small
business resulted. Fine fresh wheats were in fair re-
quest at late rates, but inferior descriptions were easier
to buy. Flour met with a very limited demand, and
must be noted 6d per sack and barrel lower. Fine meal-
ing oats were saleable at full prices, but inferior qualities
were difficult to move, except at a decline of id per 451bs.
Oatmeal was more inquired for, and in the sales made,
fully maintained its value. There were several buyers of
barley for Wales in attendance, and, being extremely
scarce, an advance of ld per 601bs was realised. Beans
and peas were without change, either in value or demand.
Indian corn met with little attention, and last Tuesday's
prices were nut obtainable.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, April 22.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a

Bench of Magistrates.)
Samuel Hamment, aged 27, was indicted for having
stolen 101. in gold from the person of John Thomas.
Mr. Metcalfe appeared to defend the prisoner.
As the details of this case appeared in our police re-
port, under the head of " Worship•street," a few days
since, it will merely, upon the present occasion, be ne-
cessary that we should state such a portion of them as
shall refresh the memory of our readers as to what the
case is.

The prisoner is a cabman; and the prosecutor, having
arrived at Southampton on board the Bentinck India-
man, was there paid off, receiving 27/. in sovereigns and
hall-sovereigns. From Southampton he journeyed to
London by the South-Western Railway, and upon reach-
ing the Waterloo station he went to the Spread Eagle,
in Gracechurch-street, where he took a cab, of which the
prisoner was the driier. Upon placing his luggage on
the cab he found that a favourite parrot had been left at
the station, whereupon be gave directions, to be driven
back there. Having regained the bird he desired the
prisoner to drive him to Turner-square, Holton, where,
on their arrival, he paid 73. 6d. as the fare, and out of
good fellowship desired "to stand a glass of grog." The
prisoner then drove him to several public-houses, at which
they had grog. As they were leaving one of these houses
the prisoner put two women into the cab with him,
but, as he thought their object was to rob him, he " cap-
-siz-.7d"- theta -:out-iaraiirland-etestal Vie dief.'""Thhe

drove on, and the prisoner " brought up" at some wine-
vaults in Horton. Here they had some more grog, the
prosecutor standing treat; and as they were quitting
this place the prisoner shitto d his badge to another man.
and, having get into the cab with the prosecutor, called
out to the man on the box to drive on. The prisoner
took his seat at the "stern" of the cab, while the prose-
cutor was obliged to sit " tor'ard." After they had pro
ceeded a little way the prisoner made a " lurch for'ard,"
and befote ho could be " righted" himself the prosecutor
felt his hand on his waistcoat pocket, in which were
271., composed of sovereigns and half-sovereigns. When
they " brought up" again at Hoxton •he felt in his
pocket and found that 101. of the money had been taken
from him. They both then got out, and the prisoner
demanded the payment of a third fare; for, in addition
to the first payment of 7s. 6d., he had been paid a
second demand for fare of 10s. The third demand the
prosecutor refused to comply with, and, a disturbance
ensuing, the policeman, when he came up, took the num-
ber of the cab. The prosecutor stated that after he bad
turned the women out he had counted his money and

found it to be all right, but that on counting it after the
cabman had made his " lurch" 101. of that money was
gone. Eventually the prisoner was given into custody.
Cross-examined by Mr. METCALFE—He was unable

to say whether the money he had lost was in sovereigns
or half-sovereigns. Ile should think that the money he
had received at Southampton, which was all in gold,
was paid in about one-third of halt-sovereigns, but be
could not swear that in this 101. his loss had consisted
even of one sovereign and the remainder in half-
sovereigns, or two half•sovereigns and the rest in so-
vereigns.
Mr. METCALFE here submitted to the Court that upon

the &claim of the judges, Mr. Justice Erle being the
only dissentient, in " The Queen v. Bond," 4 Denison's
Criminal Cases, there was an end of the case, for there
it had been held that it was necessary for the prosecutor
to swear to the identical value of the coin lost. In

" The Queen v. Bond" that necessity had not been com-
plied with, and therefore the judges had ruled that the
indictment could not be sustained.
The Learned JUDGE said he should like to seo the
case. If his recollection served him rightly, it had
there been laid that the money stolen was described as
of " every coin of the realm."
Mr. METCALFE said that was so, and that the money
which had been stolen had amounted to 2001. or 3001.,
or even a larger sum, but the prosecutors upon the trial
had been unable to swear specifically what coin the money
lost consisted of, and, therefore, the judges sitting on the
" reserved eases" had hold that such a description being
necessary the indictment could not be sustained.
The Learned JUDGE—Was he to understand the
Learned Counsel to say that " The Queen v. Bond" was
" all fours" with the present case?
Mr. METCALFE—Certainly; ,and so strong was the
opinion of the Court as to the necessity of proof in this
particular that the only dissentient on the bench was
Mr. Justice Erie.
The prosecutor then, in answer to questions from the
Court, said that however much he had gone to " leeward"
in this business, still he should be sorry to swear
wrongly, and he bad no hesitation in stating that he
could not swear quite positively whether his loss con-
sisted of sovereigns or half•sovereigns alone, or whether
it consisted of a certain number of sovereigns and a cer-
tain number of half-sovereigns, or whether one sovereign
and the remainder in half-sovereigns, or whether it con-
sisted of any given number of one coin or the other.
The Learned JUDGE said it was quite clear the prose-
cutor intended to speak the truth, and his opinion indivi-
dually was, that this technical objection, however
strongly upheld by the majority of the judges of the su-
perior court, was altogether unworthy of the year 1851.
Mr. O'BRIEN said that Lord Campbell, who had been
one of the judges when the decision of " The Queen v.
Bond" had been given, appeared to have entered into the
feelings of the Learned Judge as to the impropriety of
such law being retained, for his Lordship had subse-
quently introduced a Bill into the House of Lords
with 9, view #o the amendment of the law in that respect.
The Learned JUDGE said he regretted that such a
case as this should arrive at such a termination. He
must nevertheless be 'governed by the decision of the
superior court, and he was therefore bound to tell the
jury that they must acquit the prisoner.
of Acquittal.
The jury accordingly returned
aTe
tat
Captain HANSLER could not but
as this..at it was
should be
great pity that justice in such a case think
defeated by such a technicality.
Mr. METCALFE could assure the Court that he did not
rest his case alone on the technical objection, for he had
a most complete answer to the case which had been made
out by the prosecutor.
Tho Leaned JUDGE sincerely hoped that Lord Camp-
bell would successfully carry his Bill for amendment in
these cases •
The prosecutor then applied for his expenses, saying
that in consequence of being compelled to remein in
London for this prosecution, he had been unable to join
the Singapore, on board of which vessel he had obtained
en appointment.
The Learned JUDGE said that all the costs the law
would allow him he should have.
