LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

ROLLS' COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
dUDGMENT.—MARTIN HYETT.
This was a suit for obtaining a declaration of dissolution
of a company formed by the plaintiff anti defendant for
carrying out what they considered a new invention and
improvement in railway signals. The plaintiff considered
the invention of great value and importance to the public,
and the defendant now thought it worthless and of no value.
His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, declared the com-
pany dissolved from the date of notice by the plaintiff to
the defendant, and recommended the parties to agree toge-
ther as to the value of their respective shares without
taking a reference to chambers ; and in order to save ex-
pense of taxing the account, his Honour fixed the costs to
be paid by the defendant to the plaintiff at £3O.

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL
CAUSES.
(Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Special Jury.)
MARCHMONT V. MARCHMONT.
This extraordinary case which is a suit instituted by Mrs.
Marchmont, a lady who at the time of her marriage was
possessed of property to tho extent of £50,000 against her
husband for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty,
which was partly.heard on Saturday, was resumed this
morning.
A report of the opening and evidence on Saturday when
Mrs. Marchmont was under an examination in chief for four
hours, appears in another portion of our columns.
The plaintiff was cross-examined at great length as to
constant petty annoyances towards her husband—such as
refusing him candles to read by.
The cross-examination was continuing at the time of
going to press, and will occupy the greater portion of the
day, and the case will not, it is expected, be over to-mor-
row.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
SECRETS OF TRADE-SAMPLES AND GOODS-PAYNE V.

SMITH.

Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the defen-
dant. This was a now trial, plaintiff having obtained a
verdict for an amount in consequence of defendant's ab-
sence. Mr. Board stated that, on the occasion of the first
trial, defended had pleaded a set-off, but thinking that ho
need not attend to prove it, the verdict went against him.
He was now prepared to prove his set-off. Part of the set-
off was for commission.
Defendant deposed that plaintiff, a perfumer, agreed to
allow defendant a commission of 10 per cent. on all orders
introduced by him (defendant). Defendant introduced a
customer, who gave an order for £9 worth of goods, and
upon that defendant claimed 18s. commission.
Plaintiff—But, your Honour mint be told that this was
not an order, but merely samples.
Mr. Beard—No matter ; were you not paid for the goods,
whether samples or orders ?
Plaintiff—But it is not usual to pay commission on sam-
ples. Besides, this was a most expensive affair, and this £9
worth of samples cost mo nearly £4O.

His Honour—What T. £4O.
Mr. Beard—Oh, it's one of the secrets of trade, and a
draw for orders. (Laughter.)
Evidence having been given that it kvas usual to pay
commission when samples aro charged for, his Honour gave
'defendant a verdict, with costs.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (This Day,

The November sessions of the Central Criminal Cour,
commenced this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayer (D. W. Wire, Esq.), the Recorder, Aldermen Sir
F. G Moon, Lawrence, Cubitt, Alderman and Sheriff Hale,
Sheriff Condor, and the Undersheriffs, Messrs. Jones and
SUIT. •
The Recorder said, in charging the grand jury, A con-
siderable number of cases would be brought before them,
but, when the length of time since they had last met was
considered, there was not any extraordinary increase.
There was one case of wilful murder to be tried, but, as the
grand jury of last sessions had returned a true bill in that
case, the present jury would not be troubled with it ; and
it was matter of gratification that the present calendar did
not contain a single charge of wilful murder. There was a
charge of manslaughter against a person named William
Brown, who, according to the evidence to be laid before
them, had, after some difference with a fellow-workman
taken up an iron instrument and struck him a blow, shortly
affer which he died. It appears that the prisoner, previous
to striking the blow, had been subjected to great
provocation, and tbis circumstance reduced the charge to
one of manslaughter, so it would be for the grand jury to
say whether the blow caused the death of the unfortunate
man, and whether the prisoner struck that blow. If they
were satisfied that such was the case, then it would be
their duty to return a true bill against him. There were two
other cases of offences against the person ; one was a charge
of shooting, and the other stabbing with intent, &c. It
was much to be regretted that this kind of offence prevailed
even to the slightest extent ; but it was satisfactory to find
that these cases were .on the decrease. These were the
worst charges in the calendar, and the evidence that would
be laid before them would enable them to form a clear
opinion as to the intention of the persons inflicting the
injuries. There were other indictments of great im-
portance in this commercial country, one of which was
that against a person named Goltz, who was charged with
appropriating to his own purposes certain bills of lading,
which had been entrusted to him for the purpose of
sale, and two others against a William Oliver for forgery
and for appropriating certain shares sent to him to invest.
There wore other cases to which ho thought it his duty to
refer, as they wore not common here, namely the procuring
the engraving of a certain plate representing a note current
in a foreign country, and they would have to say whether
the evidence that would be laid before them was sufficient
to put the parties so charged on their trial. The last case
he need refer to was that of William Roper, who
was indicted for arson, and also for attempting
to obtain money from a fire office by false pretences.
The evidence was to the effect that after a fire had occurred
at the premises occupied by the prisoner at Greenwich,
during which two of his children lost their lives, ho sent in
his claim to the office in which his property was insured,
for the value of his policy. In the claim so sent in, it
would be proved that many articles wore there charged for
which were not destroyed, which the prisoner well knew,
and others enumerated which wore not on the premises.
It ought to be generally known that a person making a false
representation to a Are office not only voided all benefits to
be derived, but rendered himself subject to the criminal
law With respect to the charge of arson the Grand Jury
would have to determine whether the fire was accidentally
caused or not, and if they were satisfied there was evidence
enough to put the prisoner on his trial, it would be their
duty to return a true bill against him. He did not know
that there was anything which would occasion the slightest
difficulty, but in the event of the assistance of the court
being required, it would be most willingly given.
Tho grand jury then retired to their room.
THE FATAL FIRE AT GREENWICH.
Mr. Robertson applied, on the part of Richard Roper,
for the postponement of the trial till next sessions. The de-
positions were of immense length, and he had had them in
his possession so short a time that he had scarcely had
time to read them through.
Mr. Bodkin said it was his duty, appearing as he did for
the prosecution, to prefer the bill this session, but he had no
objection to the postponement of the bill till
se th the e
trial of the
Rext
The Recorder said, such being
the ca
prisoner could stand over.
OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.
A man, aged 33, named Iteede, was indicted for obtaining
two gold watches by false pretences.
The prisoner made an application for the postponement
of his trial till next session, as he was suffering from sewn)
illness.
The Recorder—The trial was postponed last session for
