ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, AUG. 13.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Common Jury.)
EVEREST V. HOWARD.

This was an action to recover damages for false imprison-
ment.

Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Russell were counsel for the
plaintiff; Mr Laxton appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiff in this action, it appeared, had for a great
many years been employed as an omnibus driver, and he
had been for 11 years in the service of one master, and bore
a good character, but at the time the transaction took place
that was the subject of inquiry it seemed that he was not
in regular employment. The defendant was represented to
be a person of eccentric habits, and to be a man of some
property. On the morning of the sth of May he was at the
Waggon and Horses public-house, at Newington, in a half
drunken state, and it appeared that he had been out all
night. He treated the plaintiff to some liquor, and then
went into one of the rooms of the public-house and lay
down on a bench and went to sleep. The plaintiff
went to him and shook him, and tried to rouse
him, but finding be could not do so he left, and two or three
hours afterwards he was very much surprised to find the
defendant and a police-sergeant come in search of him, and
be was taken into custody upon the charge of stealing a
£5O note, a £lO note, and a L 5 note from the defendant.
He was examined before Mr. Elliott, the magistrate, upon
that charge, and remanded for five days, and be was taken
to Horsemonger-lane Gaol in the prison van, and re-
mained there for that period. When he was again
brought up, it turned out that the defendant had found the
money he supposed to have been stolen, and he did not make
his appearance at the police-office, or take any further
notice of the matter, and the plaintiff was discharged, and
the present action was brought to recover damages for the
Imprisonment he bad undergone.
Mr. Laxton admitted that he could not justify the con-
duct of the defendant, and he at the same time said he was
instructed to withdraw all imputation upon the character
of the plaintiff. He undoubtedly did at first believe thiat
he had lost his money and suspected the plaintiff had taken
it, hut he said he was satisfied that he was wrong, and he
probably would not have acted as he did if be had not been
drinking, and his senses not very perfect on that account.
Mr. Justice Willes, in summing up, said that drunken-
ness was no excuse, and if a man when he was drunk had a
fancy to clap people into prison without any grounds, be
must pay for it.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages,
£23.

held yesterday at the office, Gresham-house, Old
Broad-street ; Mr. J. Sharland in the chair.
The SECRITARY read the report, which stated
that the traffic returns for the year 1857 exhibited
an increase in traffic from 96,825 passengera in 1856
to 98,267 passengers in 1857 ; and the gross re-
ceipts from 2,836/. in 1856 to 2,943/. in 1857,
maintaining a steady but gradual increase. The
unpaid shares and arrears of calls remained as
before, amounting to 18,321/. The liabilities on
the first-cost account had been gradually
reduced by the rent earned (exclusive of
the unadjusted claims of the contractor), and
would be altogether discharged in the current year,
when ►he rent would become available for equal dis-
tribution without preference by the provisions of
the act of Parliament. The capital account showed.
that 47,215/. had been received and 50,944/. ex -
pende,l, leaving a balance against the company of
3,729/.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the award in respect to the Con tractora'
claims bad not yet been made by Mr. Tite, but he
believed they would be able in the course of the
year to settle all claims on the company out of
revenue, and next year they would have a dividend.
Mr. Brassey would take shares in the company for
the balance due to him, so that after the present
year the shareholders would be in receipt of a divi-
dend.

Resolutions were passed adopting the report,
re-electing Mr. W. Corp, Captain D. Warren, and
Mr. T. L. Pridham, the retiring directors, and
also Mr. J. Thompson, the retiring auditor.
The proceedings concluded with a Tote of thanks
to the chairman.

EFFECTS OF P )1?---TUNE-TLLING.

A man named John 1117;0; was charged at the
Halifax police-court on Tuesday with having unlaw-
fully pretended
to use subtle craft—to wit, pal
mistry—to deceive and impose on certain of Her
Majesty's subjects. From the evidence adduced
it appeared that the informant, Elizabeth
Bon
andny, a
a young
com;oimz about twenty

years
of
age,Ambler,
want to the lodgings of the prisoner to have
their fortunes told. He taek them into a room
and told them to sit down, saying he supposed they
understood his terms. They replied they did not,
on which he informed thetn what his charge was,
and the young women hiving consented to pay the
sum, Hodg,4ou examined their hands, muttered
some gibberish, and then took out a pack of cards,
which the girls by his direction cut five times. He
told 130" Y she would have two offers of marriage
within the year, and Ambler that her cards were
very bad, two young men being anxious to marry
her, andopposi-
tion one of them continually frustrating the
other
the wizard directed her to read the first chap-
ter of Ruth when she got home, and to wish three
times. The
girls then paid their money and left
the fortuneteller, on tho understanding that they
were to return in a fort ni,,ht. On their wty home
Ambler said Bho felt alarmed, and was afraid to
read the first chapter of Ruth lest the devil should
take her. Afterwards sh 3 appeared nervous, and
became gradually worse until Thursday last, when
she was quite deranged. She raved and screamed
in gre it fright constantly, and was almost unmili-
age.able. On one occasion she could not be keptm
ea, and left the house almost nak3d. She was a
teacher in a Sabbath school at Hilitax. The Fri
s7ner denie l all recollection or knowledge of the
gTI4, and alio that Ambler's illness could have been
--
the re,ult of any such visit, owing to the time that
had elapsed since it was alleged to have taken place.
The superintendent of police proonced a belt found
upon the prisoner, under his outer clothing, after
he had been taken into cus!ody. It was composed
of a coarse material, and on the side worn next to
g
the body was a magnet and three crosses and four
medals carefully sewn- up, together viith directions
for fortune-telling, notes received from his corres-
pondents, and pieces of parchment clvered with
hieroglyphics. The Bench committed the prisoner
to the House of Correctton for three months, with
hard labour, and expressed their regret that the
law did not allow them to award a severer punish-
ment.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE BUN.

Sit,—Mr. Beadon, the magistrate at Marlborough.
street, having indulged in some very severe, and, as it
appears to me, extra-judicial remarks, on the promoters
of an agitation against the C inspiracy Bill,•of whom I
am one, I should fief extremely obliged by the insertion
of the'enolosed letter.

I am, sir, your obedient Fervent,
Feb, 24, 1858. ALFRED B. RICHARDS.

Mr. Richards presents his compliments to Police-
magistrate Beadon, and begs to offer two or three
observations upon his extra-magisterial remarks at
Marlborough-street on Monday, rsflectieg upon the
conduct and character of those concerned in organising
the intended Hyde-park demonstration on Sunday last.
Mr. Beadon is reported to have said, after-disposing
of fopr cases of pelting, pocket-picking. and disorder y
conduct, which occurred in the crowd in Hyde-park f.at
Sunday. that those who drew the mob topther—tneari-
ing thereby the committee of the Freemason's Tavern
meeting against the Conspiracy Bill—were,, in big,
Police-magistrate Beadon's opinion, "morally eqnally
guilty" with those brought before him, and "a disgrace
to society. ' Now, if "society," according to Mr.
Beadon, comprehend only political enslavement, wretcht d
servility, and an abnegation of all that w'aich our fore-
fathers held sacred, Mr. Richards is quite content, in
Mr._Beadon's eyes, to disgrace it. He would merely
suggest to Mr. Beadon the. there is such a thing as heir g
a disgrace to country, cirizenship; and manhood.
Mr. Richards is as much a lover of order as Police-
magistrate Beadon himself can be ; but most assuredly
were he on the magisterial bench, be would consult his
own dignity by not appearing either as the advocate l.f
subniisrion to foreign dictation, or the champion of
governmental truckling to it, however despotical might
be his views and narrow his prejudices. Not only does
Mr. Richards consider that there is a national insulr,
conveyed in Mr. Beadon's remarks, but he sees in them
a self-recommendation to official authority, which in his
opinion is a " disgrace" to the magisterial bench.
Mr. Richards would suggest to P :lice-magistrate
Beadon for the future to content him.,elf, in the genial
atmosphere of the court where he presides, with dispen-
sing petty justice according to the light vouchsafed to
hint, and not to deliver any further censures upon gen-
tlemen whose motives and actions are far ably° his
appreciation, as-.well as to refrain from laying down the
law upon the political rights and privileges of English-
men.

In conolUsion, Mr. Richards begs to express his
gratification a' the paucity pf the offa,ces committed in
the Park on Sunday, and to tell Mr. Beadon his opinion,
Which he ventures to say is also the opinion of the
majority of Englishmen, that the authors of the dis-
graceful Conspiracy Bill are the persons morally guilty
of being the cause of the disturbances—such as they
were in the Park. Mr. Richards would also ask Police-
magistrate Beadon whether he thinks the Dart of
Westminster morally answerable for a pocket being
picked on the occasion of his preaching ?

NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN
JUNCTION.

At the half-yearly meeting of this company held
on Tuesday at ihe Euston station, Mr. H. Tootal
in the chair.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report and
deckling a dividend of 2s. Gd. per share for the
half-year. The proceedings concluded with a vote
of thanks to the chairman and directors.

NORTH-WESTERN.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at Leeds. Mr. H. Alcock presided.
The report stated that the receipts for the half-
year ending December last amounted to 26,9731.,
and the expenses to 14,3591., leaving a balance of
12,6141. After payment of the interest on loans,
preference shares, and other debts, the total sum
available for dividend was ; and the direc-
tors recommended a dividend of 2s. per share.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the shareholders had reason to conga.-
tulate themselves that the North-Western Company
had been enabled to hold their position through the
late monetary difficulties, and that there had been
a little increase in the gross receipts for the half-
year. A sum of 13,0001. had been expended in
Parliamentary proceedings, but the directors would
be more than recompensed for that outlay by re-
ceiving a sum of money from the Lancaster and
Carlisle Company for the value of land and works
belonging to the North-Western Companynorth of
Ingleton, which had been lying dead for sometime.
The sum had been fixed at 16,5351., and the Lan-
caster and Carlisle Company had been furnished
with an account, and the money was due on the
25th inst. The Lancaster and Carlisle Company had
not yet taken any active steps towards the construc-
tion of the new line, owing to the unfavourable
state of the money-market, but he believed it was
intended to commence operations immediately.
Mr. H. J. HARE seconded the adoption of the
report, which was carried.

The two retiring directors, Mr. Hare and Mr.
Burkill, were re-elected.
Mr. Frost, the retiring auditor, was unanimously
re elected, and after a vote of thanks to the chair-
man the proceedings terminated. •

Edwaida in the chair.

pated that 65 miles of the line would be open, and

tract, and would be completed in the spring of
1859. The chairman concluded by moving the re-
election of Messrs. Featherstone, Sharp, and Dunt,
