STATE OF TRADE.

NOITINGHAM, DEC 18.
There is very little activity in the lace market ; the
only goods in the slightest demand being thot,e of a plait
description, which continue to command high prices.
Some little business is also doing for the continent. We,
however, expect a better trade after the Christmas holi-
days. In silk goods there is next to nothing doing ; the
material continues very high.
In hosiery we have also a very quiet trade just now,
most branches partaking of the dullness now existing.
Yarns are high.

It is understood that Mr. Charles Manby, who hap,
after 17 years service, resigned the post of Secretary to
the Institution of Civil Engineers,
in London
the late
Mr. Starbuck, as the representative London. and on
the continent of the extensive engine manufacturing firm
of Robert Stephenson and Co., of Newcastle.on-Tyne.
Tiiis position he is peculiarly qualified to fill, from hie
practical education and long connection with the mecha-
nical world, the iron trade, and the civil engineers •as
well as his extensive connection with foreign engineers,
who are under such obligations to him for courtesies
shown them in this country. In the annual report of
the institution we find the following notice of this event:

A third letter on maritime law has been written
by Mr. Cobden and forwarded to the &ere tary of
the "Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee :"
" Glyn Garth, near Bangor, Dec. 15.

" Sir,—Your letter, with the accompanying com-
ments of the ' Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee' on
my letter to the President of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce respectii:g the proposed change in our
maritime law, has reached me here. I have already,
in reply to a communication from Bradford, briefly ex-
plained the error into which you have both fallen in
a,-suming that the abandonment of our ancient bellige-
rent rights was a voluntary act on our pact in favour of
Russia. I have shown that it was the attitude assumed
by the United States which led to the chance. It will
not, I hope, be deemed disrespectful if Ire— 177.-.. You to
that letter, or if I add, for the information of your
committee and others who have honoured me with their
communications, that I must decline until the meeting
of Parliament any further discussion of the subject.

which your committee think the proposed changes
threaten to onr ' maritime supremacy.' If by 'supre-

The Royal Swedish Railway Company was a foreign
company, with a board of directors in London, having an
office in Cannon-street. The acceptance in question was
drawn by him, and accepted by Mr. Sadleir. He be-
lieved it was for railway carriages, &c.
The Chief Baron—Were the bills accepted at a board
of directors ?
Witness—No, my lord.
Mr. Hill—Was a book kept ?
Witness—Yes. The directors met at a certain time,
or when they chose, and examined the bill book. It was
always in his possession.
Mr. Hillier, the present secretary, was called and pro-
duced the bill books.
Mr. Hollingsworth recalled—The board met on any
day when there was business. The nominal day of
meeting was Wednesday.
The Chief Baron—Have you any books of the board's
proceedings?
Witness—One that was kept by Mr. Edmonds.
Mr. Wilde—The book is here if it is wanted.
Mr. Wilde—ls the bill book here ?
Witness—No.
The Chief Baron—Who bas it
Witness—There were two bill books.
The Chief Baron—One that was made public, and
another that was made private ?
Witness—No.
The Chief Baron--Then, what is the meaning of it ?
Witness—Our book was kept for the entry of those
bills which were drawn for the payment of goods, and
the other for bills drawn to raise money to be sent to
Sweden—the money borrowed by Mr. Sadleir for the
purposes of the company. Mr. Sadleir borrowed
money for the company on his own authority.
Mr. Hill—Have you the other bill-book here (the
private one)?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. M. Chambers—lt is Sadleir's book ?
Witness—l don't call it so.
Mr. Wilde—lt is indorsed with his name.
The Chief Baron—ls this bill of 7001. in that book ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Chambers—The book that has got Sadleir's name
,on it?

Witness —lt was not there when I parted with it. I
did not know the bill in question was for goads, and
I therefore put it in that book. The bills from Swe-
den were drawn by the chairman alone. The bill-books
I made up to the 17th of February, the day of Sadleir's
death.

Mr: Hill—Had you any conversation with Mr.
Edmonds at any time respecting bills of Exchange ?
Witness—Yes, occasionally.
Mr. Hill—Do you remember that in December, 1855,
in consequence of a message from Messrs. Masterman,
you saw Mr. Edmonds ?
Witness—Yes. I told him that Messrs. Masterman
and Co. had sent for me, and informed me that the bills
drawn and accepted by Sadleir alone on the directors
could not be paid by them, but that they must have the
signature of two other directors, and be countersigned
by myself.
Evidence was then given to show that a number
of bills drawn in the manner objected to after that noti-
fication of Messrs. Masterman, were advised by the
board, and the first advice of payment bore the names
of J. Rhodes, one of the defendants, R. Gilman, J.
Masterman, jun., and J. Sadleir, English directors.
Mr. Crabbe, clerk to Messrs. Masterman and Co.,
produced the order for payment and the bills referring
to them.
The Chief Baron—Were you in the h'abit of paying
the bilk without the names of twe directors ?
Witness—No ; I think, however, I have a few.
The Chief Baron—You had an order in each particular
ease ?
Witness—Yes.
By the Foreman—Did you ever pay a bill without
an order t
Witness—No.
The Chief Baron—Of course. Bankers don't conduct
their business as variable as the wind blows, but on
principle.
Most of the bills with orders of payment were pro.

Witness—Yes, and it was broken the next hour by
Mr. Edmonds. After he received a copy of that order he
saw Colonel Harvey, who informed him that the resolu-
tion meant nothing. Mr. Edmonds and Mr. Sadleir had
had a little bit of a quarrel, which was then nearly made
up, and it was no use stopping, but to go on, or the
thing would be ruined.
Mr. Chambers—How was the 7,0001. to be advanced
by Messrs. Dunn and Co. ? Who first commenced that
arrangement
Witness—lt arose in consequence of Messrs. Fairbairn
having threatened to break their contract for supplying
locomotives. Mr. Sadleir sent for me, and I saw him
at the offices in Cannon-street, in great anxiety. He
produced MessreVairbairn's letter, and said " If they
break down with their contract we are ruined, because
we shall have no engines to go on the line." There are
two or three engines on the line now.
The Chief Baron—No first rate ones ?
Witness—No. (Laughter.) Mr. Sadleir then re.
quested me to go to Manchester and enter into fresh con-
bracts for engines. I then went to Manchester and
entered into the arrangement with Messrs. Dunn and
Co. They were to be secured for their advances by
railway debentures, the same as Messrs. Fairbairn for
the advance of 10,0001. Messrs. Fairbairn might be said
to have given up their contract on Jan. 27. I had nego-
tiated with Messrs. Dunn and Co. before that,' fearing
what would happen. I made the contract with Messrs.
Dunn and Co. on the 28th of January. Mr. Sadleir
had 10,0001. from Messrs. Fairbairn as well as 3,5001.
from Messrs. Dunn and Co. The mode was to draw on
Sadleir, who accepted the bills and got them discounted.
Witness received a commission on his contracts of about
2i per cent. It was allowed by the company, who only
paid him 1751. per year salary, out of which he had to
provide an office and a clerk.
The Chief Baron—Were you allowed a commissio%
on the amount of your purchases ?
Witness—l was.
The Chief Baron—lt is a very bad mode of paying
people.
Witness—There were not two contracts drawn up in
reference to Messrs. Dunn and Co.—one with the
money advanced in it, and the other without it.
The Chief Baron—Was it the usual way for advances
to be made by drawing on Sadleir?
Witness—Yes. They drew bills for 7,0001.
The Chief Baron—And Sadleir discounted them ?
Witness—Oh, yes. It was done in the usual way.
When I joined the company great confidence was re-
posed in Mr. Sadleir, who then was owed 9,0001. by the
company.
Several witnesses were called to show the usual way
in which the bills were drawn by Sadleir, and afterwards
paid ; but the learned judge ruled it was not evidence in
this case.
Mr. Hollingsworth was then recalled, and said that he
made out the list of bills owing by the company, pro-
duced by Mr. Braithwaite at the request of Mr. Ed-
monds. Foreman's bill for 17,0001., and another bill,
the parties refused to take without the signa-
ture of other directors to them than Sadleir,
but Mr. Edmonds refused to put his name to
them. Mr. Edmonds was n Sweden in June.
1855, when Sadleir first drew the bills and accepted
them in the name of Self and Co., directors. The con-
tract with Messrs. Dunn, and Co., was not known out-
side the board-room. The directors met between 28th
January and 17th February, when Sadleir died. The
bills from Sweden were signed by the Chairman only,
and were made payable at the office of the company.
The Chief Baron—Were signed by the Chairman for
the company ?
Witness—Yes.
By Foreman—When you say at the office whose
money were they paid by ?
Witness —By Sadleir. He provided one with funds
sometimes by check on the bankers signed in the usual
way by two directors, and at others by money furnished
by himself. Generally by money furnished by himself.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Wilde submitted there was no evidence against,
his client to go to the jury ; but the learned judge over-
ruled it.
The learned Judge, however, said there was no case
against Mr. Rhodes.
Mr. Wilde then addressed the jury for Mr. Edmonds.

of the one in question without any authority. He called

June, 1855, Sadleir drew on the company and accepted
the company from Feb., 1854, till April, 1856. Up to
by himself the bills so drawn for goods supplied to the
company. He was not aware until after Sadleir's death
that he had drawn bills and signed them for Self and Co.,
directors. He had no knowledge that the list of
bills put in by Mr. Braithwaite were otherwise
than for goods supplied. He had no knowledge of
the existence of two bill books. He gave no authority
to Sadleir to sign the bills, and had he known it at the
time he should have objected to it. He called on Mr.
Sadleir and asked him to join the company.
The learned counsel having replied on the evidence,
His lordship summed up, and the jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff as against Edmonds, and for the defend.
ant as against Rhodes.

Alexander Stainburg, 32, merchant, and Chas. Hamil•

by false pretences, an order for the payment of money and
bills of exchange, valued at 1,5001. of John Deporter.
Mr. Sleigh and Mr. J. P. Doyle were for the prosecu-
tion ; and Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. Robinson' Mr.
Sergeant Ballantine, and Mr. F, H. Lewis for the
defendants.

His lordship, after bearing some remarks from Mr.
Parry, said that he thought the case one in which no end
would be answered by the prosecution being proceeded
with, and his brother judge entertained the same opinion.
Mr. Sleigh said that, acting entirely upon his lord-
ship's opinion, he should abstain from offering any
evidence, and an acquittal was taken.
Patrick Williams and Charles Macarthy, two boys,
aged 12 and 15, were brought up for sentence, being
convicted of placing certain bricks and other things upon
the line of the North London Railway.
Mr. Justice Crowder, in passing sentence of six months'
imprisonment, said he was sorry he had not the power
to add a flogging to it.
Ludwig Thies, 22, soldier, was indicted for cutting
and wounding Henry Moles.
Thera was another indictment for a like offence upon
Jo h Warren.
The case occupied a considerable length of time, in
consequence of the whole of, the evidence having to be
interpreted into German.
The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to
18 months' imprisonment.

-ARYLEBONE.—Wm. Russell, alias Jones, was
charged before Mr. Long with burglariously breaking
out of the Duke of York public-house, Great Maryle-
honc-street, having previously concealed himself with
the intention of steal►ng therein the property of Mrs.
Anne Young, the landlady.
Police-constable Thorne, 363 A, said that about
two o'clock that morning he was on duty in Great
Marylebone-street, when, while passing the Duke of
York, he observed three men lurking in front of
the house. The men, on seeing him, went away.
As they left he saw a light inside in motion. He
crossed over to the house, when he heard s ,me one
unbolting the door, who proved to be the prisoner. He
looked out of the door. He saw witness, who pushed
the door back. The prisoner tried to close the door.
Witness was successful in forcing it open, and he seized
hold of the prisoner by the collar. A determined re-
sistance was made by the prisoner. Witness eventually
overpowered him and took him into the street. Some
policemen came to witness's assistance. Witness sent
two of them after the three men, but they could not be
found.

Mr. Long—Did the prisoner make any statement ?
Witness—When I first saw him he observed that he
was a lodger. I called upon the son of Mrs. Young,
who said he did not know the prisoner. I found a
jemmy, with which two doors in the house had been
forced open. _ .

His lordship directed a sum of 101. to be given to the
injured man Moles, and 21. to the one who took the
knife from the prisoner.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Samuel Leigh Booth, 24, chemist, pleaded guilty to
several indictments charging him with having obtained
by false pretences from J. 3. Dew and W. N. Brown
various sums of money, and from H. Stringer oil and
other goods of the value of 301. 18s. 6d.
Mr. Orridge, who prosect.ted, said that for months
the prisoner had been, by false representations, carrying
on this system of fraud, not only here, but in various
parts of the country, and had been convicted at Chester
and Derbyshire of such frauds.
The Court sentenced him to 4 years' penal servitude.
As the prisoner was leaving the dock some one stepped
into the witness-box, and begged tbat a fashionable
paletot, which prisoner then had on, might be given up
to him, as prisoner had got it by false pretences and
not paid for it.
The Recorder directed it to be returned.

Dec. 18,—Admis.ions on payment, 442 ; do. by season
tickets, 145 ; Total visitors, 537.
SIR COLIN CAMPBELL—At Pembroke Dock the fol-
lowing amusing incident occurred a few days ago :
The veteran general, with the great desire of getting
through his business, naturally began the day early,
and with this intention, on Saturday, proceeded to the
Defensible Barracks a little before nine o'clock, and, to
his great surprise, found the officer of the day calmly
ensconced in the arms of Morpheus. His arrival putting
all on the qui vive, every possible exertion was made to
find some officers to receive him, but, owing to the
greater part of them being absent at the hunt hall at
Haverford west, the general was obliged to wait patiently
but suddenly perceiving a lieutenant in sight completing
his toilet, he immediately signalled him, and gave him a
sharp lesson, particularly calling his attention to the be•
refits of early 'ising.—Glasgoto Daily Mail.
