even know that such races were held there; the ;t
he never knew or heard of such a person as Crenert d
Sir Edward Butler, and believes such person not 10

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 4..

GREGORY V. DICAS.

Mr. ERLE, on behalf of the plaintiff, moved thb.'t

the defendant, who is an attorney, should be struck
off the rolls. The plaintiff, who is proprietor of the
Satirist, brought an action against the defendant for
having published a hand-bill, attacking his moral
character. The Jury returned a verdict with the
nominal damages of one shilling.

Lord LYNDuuRsT said that the libel had nothing
to do with the defendant's professional conduct.
There was no precedent for the motion.

MANSION-HO USE.
FORGERY UPON SIR WILLIAM CURTIS'S BANK.
—Yesterday Sir William Curtis stated to the LORD
MAYOR the particulars of a case of forgery com-
mitted a week ago on his house, under circumstances
of peculiar ingenuity. The following are the parti-
culars :
It is known that since the last case of forgery in
which Coster and Byers were separately concerned,
men of business have been cautious as to the per-
sons to whose hands they intrust checks with their
signatures, and have generally adopted the sugges-
tion of the Lord Mayor in not signing checks as
they do letters. On Monday a female, about 24 or

Mr. F. POLLOCK had received instructions to
apply to the Court on behalf of the Earl of Glen-
gall to move for a rule to show cause why a crimi-
nal information should not be filed against the
Times newspaper. The circumstances which gave
rise to the application were these :—A few doss

aouse, was the Earl of Glengallt" Ilt was, observed
the Learned Conn4el, for the publication of that
r, a,7ag r 4 p h that that blobleman had resolved upon
the present step. The report to which he (Mr.
Pollock) referred in part ran thus :—" A female of
the name of torah Butler, was brought before the
Lord Mayor by the beadle, when she was asked
who was the father of the child she had, with her,
and she answered in reply., that the name of the
father was the Earl of —7-77, because she had never
been acquainted with any other man." THE woman
then went on to state that she had met his tord-
ship for the first time at the Cashel hates, and
r4fterwarda at the house of Oen. Sir Edw. Butler
(whose natural daughter she had the misfortune
to be), where her connection with the Earl took
place; and she then went on (continued the Learned
Counsel), with statements which implied that great
neglect had been exhibited towards her by tho,Noble
Earl subsequently, The affidavit of the 'Earl of
aleagall; on which he moved for the rule, stated
that he never had any connection or communication
with, or to his knowledge ever saw, the above-men-

ROBBERY AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.—On Tues-
day morning, before four o'clock, Marchant, one of
the principal officers on the city establishment, was
engaged on the watch in the Mansion-house, and
while in the Marshal's apartment, immediately un-
der the Justice-room, he heard a heavy fall over-
head, He immediately ran up the great steps in
front of the Mansion•house and endeavoured to raise
one of the windows, but all the windows in the
Justice-room are double, and are fastened inside by
a spring. He then ran to the George-street sideof the
building, and found the door by which the prisoners
and paupers enter, and which leads to the Justice-
room by rather a circuitous way, open, and
tied to remain so with a handkerchief, so as
to be convenient, if it should be necessary,
io run away. This door, as well as all the others,
had been carefully closed in the evening, but it is
supposed that as there was a large assemblage of
persons at the Mansion-house on Monday, to witness
the examination of the pupils of the national schools,
some young thief concealed himself about the pre-
mises, and opened the paupers' door to others.
When Merchant went into the Justice-room, he
found that although some of the drawers were pulled
open, no locks were broken, and that although
papers and parchments were ransacked, the place in
which Mr. Nobler usually deposits the money re-
ceived during the day remained unexplored. Mar-
chant found that the noise lie had heard was caused
by the fall of Mr. Hobler's desk, which the thieves,
no doubt, though was fastened to the table on
which it lay, but which, upon being pulled, tumbled
to the ground, to the great discomfiture of the
thieves, who, however, got clear away before the
officers could reach the door at which they escaped.
The thieves got but little booty, a few inkbottles,
a large seal of the Justice-room, with the City
Arms engraved upon it, and a small seal, for all of

worth, so that what is called by the thieves, a
heavy swag" would be the consequence of a suc-
cessful entry to the chamber where the treasure is
kept.
It will be recollected that some days ago a man named
John Conway was brought before the Lord Mayor upon
suspicion of having murdered one William Walsh, in the
pariah of Greanch, in the county of Cork. Upon that
occasion Mr. Cope, the Marshal, wrote, by the direction
of the Lord Mayor, to the police of the county in which
the murder was stated to have been perpetrated. The date
of the Marshal's letter was May 11, and the prisoner was
remanded several times in consequence of the non-arrival
of intelligence from Ireland on the subject. Inquiries had
heea made at the office of the Secretary for Ireland, but
no information could be obtained there. At length the
Lord Mayor received a letter from Mr. Miller, Inspector-.
General of the Constabulary of Munster,' enclosing the
Coroner's warrant for the apprehension of John Conway

Mr. CONANT—You should have applied for relief

Defendant--I have applied, and have been re-
fused any kind of relief. What is the use of Eng-
-I,shmen applying to the parish ? The Irish get both
bi ork and money from the overseers, while English-
Men cannot even get a bit of bread.
Mr. CONANT, after some further conversation,
committed the man for one month to prison, and
his wife preferred to accompany him. She was sent
there for the same period.
Joseph Hall, a young man of respectable exterior,
w as brought before Mr. DYER on Monday, charged
with having been guilty of an act of disgusting in-
decency towards the daughter of a tradesman living
in Dean-street.

The young lady said she was standing at the
drawing-room window, looking towards the street,
when she saw the defendant, who was a perfect
s ranger, kiss his hand to her, and continue his of-
fensive familiarity. She, in consequence, removed
to another window, which fronted a public-house,
and she had not been there many minutes before she
saw the defendant at the first floor window of the
public-house, who repeated his action, he having
then his person quite exposed. Haying given in-

Mr. DYER said, the nature of the charge was
-uch, and the proof so clear, that he should feel it
to be his duty to commit him to prison, as a rogue
