LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA Y.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford,
Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, &c.

HENDERSON V. JOHNSTONE.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Session
in Scotland in an action of declarator calling on the defen-
dant to denude himself of certain heritable trust estates,
conveyed to him in security of money advanced, bills
granted, and professional business done for the pursuer,
and convoy them to the pursuer.
The Lord Ordinary, by his interlocutor of 12th December,
1857, afterwards affirmed by the Court of Session, ordered
the defendant to produce his pfofessional accounts in pro-
cess, and failing his doing so, ordered him to convey the
estates in question to the pursuer. Against this decision
the appellant appealed.
Mr. Young and Mr. Neish were heard for the appellant.
The learned counsel contended that the appellant had a lies
upon the estates for 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 Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court of
Session, and dismissed the appeal with costs, reserving to
the Court of Session to repone the appellant on payment of
costs and production of his accounts, against the interlocu-
tors complained of, of 12th December, 1857, and 12th
January, 1858.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--(THIS DAY).

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Channel and Mr. Justice Keating.)
THE UNION BANK FRAUDS.

Pullinger, who pleaded guilty to the two indictments
against him for embezzlement, was to-day sentenced
to 14 years' penal servitude on the first indictment and six
years on the second—making 20 years in all.
The trial of Richardson, the late secretary of the London
Rifle Brigade, has been postponed until next sessions, owing
to the illness of Colonel Hicks.

THE CASE OP THE REV. MR. HATCH AND EUGENIA PLUMMER.
_ _ _

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 juxy, with which
the verdict was accompanied, it was suggested that the
girl should be removed from the charge of her parents for
some considerable time, and placed under the care of some
person to be agreed upon.
Application has also been made to the Secretary of State
for the release of Mr. Hatch from Newgate.
At three o'clock Eugenia Plummer, who was found guilty
yesterday of perjury, was placed in the dock to receive
sentence.

Mr. Baron Channell, addressing her, said that after a
long and patient trial she had been found guilty of the
crime of perjury; but in delivering their verdict the jury
had recommended her to the merciful consideration of the
Court. It was a lamentable thing to see a young child
of such tender years standing at the bar of a curt cf
criminal justice convicted of such an offence. As he
understood the finding of the jury, her misconduct was
attributed to a want of care and attention to her moral
and religious education. It was upon that ground that the
jury had recommended her to mercy. The crime of perjury
was one of a very serious character, for when that offence
was committed it placed in jeopardy and peril the liberties
and lives of her Majesty's subjects, because it was upon the
belief of evidence given upon oath that juries returned their
verdicts. Whether hor parents were justified or not
in believing the charge she made against Mr. Hatch, the
Court thought that she (the defendant) was not responsible
for their acts, inasmuch as the whole proceedings were
taken by direction of her parents. There was reason to
suppose, judging from the finding of the jury, that from
neglect and indifference to her education, she had acquired
habits of untruthfulness, which might lead to grealtinischief
if not corrected. The Court felt that it might treat her as
having given way to untruthful statemeats for the purpose
of getting out of Mr. Hatch's family, to which she seemed to
have formed a dislike. Under these circumstances the
Court desired to pass upon her as lenient a sentence as pos-
sible, but at the same time one that would operate for her
benefit. The sentence would be that she be imprisoned in
the Houseof Correction at Holloway for three weeks, and that
at the end of that time she should be placed in a reformatory
school, as should hereafter be ordered by the Court. A pro-
posal had been made by her friends, which had received
the anxious consideration of the Court, but he could not at
that moment treat it as part of his judicial sentence. The
proposal, however, would be at once submitted to the Secre-
tary of State, and if ho believed that under proper
securities it would tend to promote her welfare, the sen-
tence now passed would undoubtedly be remitted. While
she remained in prison her comfort would be attended to
and she would have the benefit of instruction from a lady
who had devoted considerable time and attention to the
care of female children. She would then be placed in are •
fsrmatory school, and he hoped that her education would
be attended to.

The prisoner was then removed from the dock. She cried
slightly towards the conclusion of the sentence, but her
father who was with her appeared quite unmoved.
In a few moments after she had been taken down stairs
she was brought back by direction of the learned Judge, who
informed her that he found he could not send her to a refor-
matory for less than two years. His sentence upon her,
therefore, must be three weeks in Holloway Prison, and two
years in the reformatory school. That matter would, how-
ever, be dealt with by the Secretary of State. The prisoner
cried a little and was removed.

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
I,Velzenstein appeared to be the chief actor in the con-
spit acy, and therefore ho 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.)

MARLBOE,OUGII-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
he was requested to leave.
E 164 said he saw the prisoner and six others playing.
'and they refused to go. On the way to the station, the
prisoner said the landlord of the public-house had given
him 4d. not to go away.
Prisoner said he did not understand it.

Mr. Beadon said it was monstrous and cruel on the part
of tho publican towards a neighbour. Ho should fine the
prisoner 405., or a month in default.

THAMES.

ALLEGED FALSE IMPRISONMENT ON BOARD SHIP.—
A gentleman named White applied to Mr. Yardley for a
summons against Captain Doyle, the master of the ship
Horissa, for falsely imprisoning his son, a youth for 84 days
at sea.

Mr. White said his son, who was standing by his side
was entered as a midshipman, on board the Horissa, and
he paid a premium of 61 guineas with him to the owner of
the ship, and expected he would have met with good treat-.
ment from the captain, who, however, had been guilty of a
gro .t stretch of authority by confining his (the applicant's)
son for 84 days on the homeward passage.
Mr. Yardley—How long did the passage last ?
Mr. White-129 days, sir.

The applicants son, in answer to questions from Mr.
Yardley, said he was confined in his cabin 84 days, and
only allowed bread and water.

An officer of the ship here said he was only allowed one
quart of water daily.
Mr. Yardley said the case was not one he could decide
summarily unless an assault was committed. He thought
the case was one more suited for one of the civil courts at
Westminster in an action for damages.
Mr. White said no violence was used. His son was or-
dered to his cabin andkept there 84 days, and he considered
it was a very tyrannical pnoceed:ng.
Mr. said if the case was made out all he could do would
be to order the defendant to find bail to answer the charge at
the sessions.
Mr. White asked if the captain was not liable for depriv-
ing his son of proper food.
Mr. Yardley said the 223 d section of the Merchant Ship-
ping Act, 1854, would meet such a case as that, if the youths
allowance of provisions was reduced by any quantity not
exceeding one third of the quantity specified in the agree-
ment the complainant would bo entitled to compensation at
the rate of 4d. per day, and if his allowance was reduced by
more than one-third of such quantity, Bd. per day. The
complainant might, if he thought proper, take out a sum-
mons against the captain to recover summarily 565. for a
reduced allowance of provisions of more than one third for
84 days, being at the rate of Bd. per day.
Mr. White said he would adopt the course suggested by
his worship, and afterwards consider whether he should
not proceed by action against Captain Doyle for false im-
prisonment,
