Mr. Young and Mr. Neish were heard for the appellant.
The learned counsel contended that the appellant had a lies
upon the estates fur the money advanced by him, and he was
not bound to denude himself thereof until the money due to
him was paid.

The Lord Chancellor, without calling on the respondent's
counsel for a reply, considered that the decision of the Court
of Session was right, and ought to be affirmed.
The other noble and learned lords were of the same
opinion.

THE C ISE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH AND EUGENIA PLUNIMER.

Much curiosity was exhibited in court this morning with
respect to the sentence the learned judge would impose upon
the child Eugenia Plummer, in consequence of the verdict
of guilty that was returned against her late last night. In
consequence of the recommendation of the jur,y, with which
the verdict was accompanied, it was suggested than the
girl should be removed from the charge of her parents for
some considerable time, and placed under the care of some
persoti to be agreed upon.

_ Application has also been made to the Secretary of State
for the release of Mr. Hatch from Neweite.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE STOHWASSER CASE.

The prisoners, Edward and Eliza De Welzenstein, Her-
mann Frick, and Madame Jourdain, who were found guilty
of conspiring together to obtain from J. Stohwasser the
sum of £3OO were placed at the bar to receive judgment.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said the prisoner De
Welzenstein appeared to be the chief actor in the con-
spit acy, and therefore he should sentence him to two years'
imprisonment with hard labour, and the other three he
should only sentence to six months' imprisonment with
hard labour each.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE GERMAN BAND NUISANCES.-Philip Arleston, a
boy, one of the members of a German street band, was
charged before Mr. Beadon as follows :

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the complainant, Mr. Martin, eatinghouse-
keeper, of 6, Market-street, Oxford-street, and said that
his worship might remember that some time back the com-
plainant appeared at that court in consequence of being
annoyed by a neighbour, a publican, named Flower, who
had exhibited in his window some offensive placards and
engaged musicians to play in front of his house. The an-
noyances had ceased for some time, but Mr. Martin had
now to complain of defendant being ordered to play when
ht was requested to leave.

Share! 31ines.

Mr. Martin said at eight o'clock that morning a band of
musicians, seven in number, came and played oppo,ite his
door. His child had been ill for some days, and w s not
expected to live. He first sent out his servant to tell them
to debist, and on their refusing to do so, he went out him-
self and asked them to do so, but they positively refused,
and continued playing.

The following letter has been addressed to a
contemporary :

Sir,—Ever since the appearance in your paper of
May 7 of the letter of Tom Sayers, I have endea-
voured by every means in my power to ascertain
from him in an official way, guaranteed by the
presence of the editor of Bell's Life, whether he in•
tends to abide by the date recently fixed for us by
that gentleman for the champion's belt and stakes.
The editor of Ben's Life,in view of the sentiments
of that letter, acknowledged the propriety of such
inquiries on my part, and also of such proposed
official response on the part of Sayers, and did what
he could by letters and telegraph despatches to get
Sayers here to answer. Until Saturday, however,
it was impossible for him to ascertain, with cer-
tainty, even in what part of England Sayers then
was, and finally, through the failure of such efforts,
I received information on Saturday-from the editor
and referee, that he could not interfere further in
the matter.

Now, sir, as I am left as it were " all at sea,"
and as it was yesterday stated in Bell's Life that I
was desirous of bringing the matter to an amicable
arrangement with Sayers, I will state what I am
willing to do.

I am willing, first of all, to accept of the pro-
position made by a writer in Bell's Life, that
Sayers and I should have a "belt apiece," t 3 be
gotten up by public .subscription, provided that
the true champion's belt remain in the hands of
the editor of Bell's Life, to be fought for again,
the best man to take it. If that be not agreed
to, I will accept the proposition put forth in
Punch—viz., to divide the belt—l to take one
half, and ayers to keep the other half. I
will then head a subscription tolprovide a new half to
his, and in this way I think good feeling may be
preserved on both sides.
. .

If neither of these propositions (proceeding, as
they do, from English sources) are allowed me,
then I shall claim that Sayers meet me on neutral
ground, where our late battle may be properly re-
sumed. Though lam not yet quite ready to be-
come a member of the Peace Society, I will cheer-
fully vary my propositions somewhat to suit him.
As the belt may be said to be equally owned
by both of us, I will agree to run him a foot-
race from one hundred yards to five miles for
the stakes and belt, or I will wrestle with him
for the belt, or I will row him for the belt, or
I will swim a mile with him for the belt, or I will
take hold of hands and jump from a housetop with
him for the belt. If all these offers will not do, I
will agree in two months to be ready to fight the
four best men that can be produced in England,
beginning with Sayers, at intervals of 30 days
apart, for the belt. I was told, if I won it I could
have it; I would rather fight for it than anything
else; but I am willing, under the present state of
public feeling, to accept of half of it. If that be
denied me, and through the exceptional action of
the British authorities I be deni2d the privilege of
another meeting, I shall have no alternative but to
go home, refusing all English testimonials and sub-
scriptions, and shall hereafter feel at liberty—nay,
justified by all the equities of the late transaction
—to sign myself " The Champion of the World."
—I remain, sir, your obedient servant,

AN ACCIDENT _AVERTED.

A
correspondent say in a contemporary sa :—" I
believe it is not generally known what a.merciful
escape the passengers by the late express train from
Paddington had on Monday evening last, and, as I
feel that such things ought to be made public, I
send you an accurate description of what occurred,
and hope you will be so good as to insert my letter.
" We left Paddington at the proper time, and all
went right till we were about half-way between
Bath and Bristol, when we felt a violent jerkin°.
motion ; a cloud of dust and stones flew past thee
windows, all t he breaks were applied, danger whistles
sounded, fog-signals were thrown, and in a wonier-
fully short space of time we were brought to a stand,
and we heard a cry, " All passengers out ; we can-
not move, and both an up and a down train are
nearly due !" the fact being that the axletree of a
van just behind our engine had snapped, and the
van was across the rails, but whether so far as to
endanger the coming up-train no one could tell.
What would our position have been had it oc-
curred in the Box tunnel ! As it was we were just
about to enter a tunnel, but, providentially, we were
stopped just at the spot where we could best escape.
Our engine, too, happily, was not off the line ; so
it ran towards Bristol to warn the coming train, and
the guard (who behaved admirably) ran back to meet
the Salisbury train, and thus try to prevent a three-
fold collision. You will believe that our train was soon
emptied, We were on an embankment, with a high
wooded hill on the near side, and a sheer descent to
the river on the other ; and just opposite to where
we stopped there was a cutting in the wood for the
purpose of running stones down. Men and women
were all soon over a high gate, and making our
way, in heavy rain, up this place, as we were told
if there should be a collision it was impossible to
say how far fragments might be driven. In two
or three minutes we heard the up-train com-
ing, and all held our breath to see if it would
pass clear. It did, and there was a very,,
general exclamation of " Thank God !"
passengers in that train were probably
quite
unaware of their escape, but on examination it
proved that there were barely two inches be-
tween the corner of the vans and the footboards of
; that train. Still, there we stood in the heavy rain,
and began to feel assured, as the Sali▪
sbury train
i
did not appear, that the guard had succeeded n
stopping it; and now the men began to venture
back to get umbrellas and cloaks for the ladies,
i
and all began to speculate how long ▪t. would be
before we were released, and it was not till the end
of 50 minutes that our engine came back with fresh
carriages, and we proceeded again. Nothing could
exceed the kindly spirit among the passengers, and
one circumstance struck us all—viz., that an in-
valid lady, who was carried by two persons (and
whom it would have been extremely difficult to re-
: lease from the train in haste where there was no
platform), had only got out at Bath.
