doubt c►n the subject. But even then
be was not permitted to rejoin the profession for
which he had been. educated ; and several years
elapsed, and many expensive motions were made,
before his name -was again enrolled among the
attorneys and solicitors of England.
The narrative is instructive, although painful.
It proves the absolute necessity of some mode of
revising the errors of criminal tribunals. The
Committee of the House of Commons which inves-
tigated his case have declared it to be an excep-
tional one, and that " he has; strong claims on the
favourable consideration of the Crown." He has,
indeed. Not that any amount of money can ever
atone for the persecution through which he has
passed ; but it is at least the duty of the Govern-
ment to make amends, as far as possible, for the
injustice he has sustained, and to enable himto
passed the remainder of his life in ease, comfort,
and independence.

LATEST NEW&.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall, before Mr.
Baron Martin and a Common Jury.)
THE NON-ATTENDANCE OF JURYMEN.

The coming celebration at Cherbourg promises
each day io be more and more notable. Owing to
the happy intervention of the King of the Belgians
the Royal family of Prussia, and perhaps even the
Imperial family of Austria, will, it is said, be
worthily represented at that grand naval solem-
nity. According to the Phare de la Manche, 56
yachts are to leave Cowes on the 15th of this month
for Cherbourg, to run for a cup presented by the
Emperor.

Great difficulty has been experienced during
these sittings in obtaining a sufficient number of
jurymen at the sitting of the court. This morning
Mr. Baron Martin expressed his displeasure at their
conduct, and gave an intimation that he would
have the list read over and fine every juryman 10/.
who did not answer to his name. The effect of the
announcement was to fill the box with the required
number almost immediately.

SIMPLE V. MILLARD-FALSE IMPRISONMENT-,
STRA NGE SCENE IN COURT.

The Moniteur of this morning publishes a decree
relative to the extension of the limits of the forti-
fications of Lille.

This was an action to recover compensation in
damages for a false imprisonment.
Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Salter appeared for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for the de-
fendant.

Beyond the growing impression that the confer
ences go on smoothly, and that, as far as the prin-
cipal question in their deliberations is concerned,
they will shortly terminate, there is to-day no politi-
cal matter worthy of remark. The Belgian journals
assert that there will be a reunion of the confer-
ences in the autumn to arrange the question of the
navigation of the Danube. The letter giving this
information the most precisely is quoted in the
Pays of this evening.
The Cologne Gazette spreads the rumour that the
concentration of Russian troops now going on in
Poland is not only for the purpose of reviews and
manoeuvres, but to threaten Austria into the fulfil-
ment of her engagements contracted by the treaty
of 1846, relative to the incorporation of Cracow
into the Austrian monarchy.
The following despatch has been received from
Marseilles :—,‘lntelligence from Candia comes down
to the 30th ult. Four Turkish battalions had landed
as a reinforcement, but the new Governor Sami
Pacha had not arrived. The Admiral Hassan-Pacha,
acting as Governor ad interim, had called on the
Turkish inhabitants who had taken up arms to eva-
cuate the fortresses, but they refused, alleging their
apprehension of the Christians taking vengeance on
them. In the Libanus, at the date of June 26,
agitation had recommenced, and the Porte had
sent a commissioner to examine the real state of
things."
For the benefit of those about to visit Paris after
the close of the session, it may be observed that the
alterations now going on in the Tuileries gardens
will be finished before the Emperor's return from
Plombieres. A terrace the height of the railings will
be raised in front of the Palace, terminating opposite
the Rue 29 de Juillet. This will be planted with
trees, not so high as to obstruct the view, but high
enough, we are told, to shelter us from the heat in
summer. The old basins will remain, but the par-
terres are to give way to velvet swards and massive
vases filled with flowers. The public, during the
fine season, are probably to be admitted into this
part of the new gardens.
A letter from Plombieres says :—" His Majesty
has made a present to the town of a charming park,
laid out with infinite taste. The whole of the plans
were last year revised by himself, and it may be
cc Sid re-1 a sort of Bids de Boulogne on a small
scale, a sheet of water being is tLe cent. c, a:.d
rocks and plantations are ranged on various points.
The other day his Majesty, when out walking,
met four old soldiers, of whom three were decorated
with the St. Helena medal. He gave to each of
the latter 100 f. in gold, and to the fourth, who
affirmed that he had a right to the medal also, he
said, Come to me to-morrow morning, and I will
see what your claims to it are.' The church, hav-
ing been badly built, was falling to ruin. The
Emperor has contributed largely to its reconstruc
Lion, and, by a strange chance, in the founda-
tion was found a stone bearing an inscription
to the effect that it bad been placed by his Majes-
ty's elder brother when a child, on pasing through
Plombieres with his mother Queen Hortense. Last
Sunday, there being no place of worship, in conse-
quence of the works going on, the Emperor gave
directions to have divine service performed in the
opeh air. There, under some lofty trees over-
shadowing the Promenade des Dame, a temporary
altar was arranged, and service performed in
presence of the'whole population and the Sovereign
himself. A collection for the poor, made after-
wards by the Countess de Valabrege-Lawcestein,
produced about 500 f. His Majesty is never annoyed
by indiscreet 'curiosity when he goes out, each per-
son seeming to make it a rule to maintain the
greatest reserve with respect to him. The band of
the regiment quartered in the town plays every
clay at 4 o'clock. All the persons who have come
to take the waters assemble to hear it, and the Em-
peror may often be seen walking up and down
without any ceremony, and sometimes seated in
one of the chairs placed there for the convenience
of the public."

Mr. Sleigh stated the case to the jury. The
plaintiff is a gentleman of property, residing in
Camden-terrace, Camden-town ; and the defen-
dant is a pastry-cook, carrying on business in
Camden-town. About half-past ten o'clock on the
night of the 6th of January last the plaintiff
entered the defendant's shop and purchased
a shilling Twelfth Cake, tendering half-a-crown in
payment for it. The defendant said it was bad.
The plaintiff expressed his surprise at it, and offered
to give the defendant another on receiving the first
back. The defendant defused to let him have it
and went to the end of the counter and endeavoured
with his assistant, named Menassi, to bend or de-
stroy it. The plaintiff interfered, and in conse-
quence a policeman was sent for and the plaintiff
was taken to the police station on a charge of pass-
ing bad money, the defendant and Menassi accom-
panying him. The charge was there persisted in
and the plaintiff was searched. Ilia clothes were
unfastened and his shoes were taken off. His
pocket-book was opened, and it was found to con-
tain letters and cards with his address and name
and 201. in money. Although the plaintiff had be-
fore dealt with the defendant, and the litter had
on one occasion been employed to cook a dinner at
his house, the charge was persisted in. The plain-
tiff was detained till about half-past two o'clock in
the morning, when he was bailed by one of
his tenants. On the following morning he
was taken before a magistrate where the
plaintiff proceeded with the charge, the re-
sult of which was his immediate discharge. After
that the plaintiff's soYcitor wrote to the defendant
demanding an apology, which he refused, and in
his letter of refusal he stated he felt extremely hurt
at what he had done, when he found who the plain-
tiff was at the police-station, but what could he
do after the plaintiff's calling him, at the police-
station, "a pastrycook fellow," and the like.
The learned Judge suggested that the case
should be arranged.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, for the defendant, said
that, notwithstanding the decision in the case of
"Swinfer v. Swinfer," he had undertaken upon
himself to do so, but had been unsuccessful.
The plaintiff was called, but before he was sworn,
as ..c, e off ,r that had hnon made,
his object being to have an apology, and cid.r
character from the imputations under which he
rested.

MR. STEVEN'S BREAD MACHINE.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, on the part of the de-
fendant, withdrew all imputation against the plain-
tiff's character, and apologised for the defendant's
conduct. He consented to a verdict against the
defendant of 51. 55., which would carry costs.
The learned Judge said the plaintiff was clearly
entitled to an apology as well as his costs. It was
a very proper mode of terminating the case.
Mr. Sleigh, the plaintiff's counsel, then left the
court, but almost immediately returned and claimed
the protection of the learned judge from the threat-
eningconduct of one of the witnesses iu the case.
The person complained of walked up to him in a
very insulting manner and threatening attitude,
thrusting his card in his (Mr. Sleigh's) face. He.
could not get away from the man, and he was
obliged to give him into custody, and have him
brought before his lordship.
Meuassi (the person complained of), who ap-
peared much excited, said he was • a respectable
man, and was a nephew of the SiciliAn consul. He
considered the learned counsel had insulted him by
calling him a " pastrycook'4 man," in stating the
facts of the above case, and on his leaving the
court he went up to' him, thanked him' for his coin-

Aliment, and handed him his card.
The learned Judge (in which the jury concurred)
said the learned counsel had not said one word
about him.

Menassi—He called me a "pastrycook's man,"
and I only went up to him and thanked him for
his lies in calling me such. (Laughter.)
The learned Judge said the learned counsel had
done no such thing, and unless he apologised he
would commit him for a week to Navigate. Coun-
sel must not be insulted in the fair and legitimate
discharge of their duties.
Menassi still persisted the learned counsel bad
insulted him, but the learned judge, in consequence
of his being a foreigner, allowed him to depart on
his promising not to offend again. He was accord-
ingly discharged out of the custody of the officer of
the court.
