SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT.

LOVE AND AFFECTION.—At this court yesterday was
tried, before Mr. Sergeant Storks and a special jury, the
following case, embodying the plea in defence that the work
for which payment was sought was done for love and
affection.

Mr. Angell appeared for the plaintiff, and stated that his
client sought to recover £4O for services rendered in pur-
chasing some houses for defendant. Plaintiff, by defen-
dant's directions, attended a sale and bid for four houses,
which were knocked down to him. Plaintiff subsequently
introduced a gentleman, who advanced defendant money to
enable him to carry out the purchase.
Plaintiff was called, and after testifying to the above
statement, was cross-examined by Mr. Beard for defendant,
and it was elicited that this transaction occurred four years
ago, and that until three months since no claim had been
made.

Witnesses were called who stated that plaintiff had acted
as agent to defendant, and the bill was examined, and it
therein appeared that plaintiff charged ls. for attending
the sale, £9l6s. commission for purchasing, £8 Bs. attend-
ances, and further sums as commission.

Mr. Beard then called the attention of the jury to the
charges in the bill, which, even if duefrom defendant, were
most exorbitant. Defendant could distinctly swear that all
that plaintiff had done in the matter was purely as a matter
of friendship.
Defendant was called and declared that he never engaged
plaintiff.

- His Honour then summed up and the jury found that
defendant never employed plaintiff. His Honour gave
plaintiff permission to elect for a nonsuit, which he did, and
upon Mr. Beard's application costs were allowed defendant.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—In the private contract market a moderate busi-
ness has been done at full rates. The public sales con-
cluded yesterday, and of the 4,903 packages offered, about
2,500 were sold at about former rates, good common congou
being quoted is per lb.
SUGAR.—The market has exhibited less activity, and,
except for the strong colonial descriptions, of which there
is a very moderate quantity on offer, prices have shown a
downward tendency. In the refined market a steady busi-
ness has been transacted at full values.

COFFEE.—For good qualities of plantation Ceylon, for
home consumption, there has been a limited inquiry, and
prices have slightly receded. Native Ceylon met a mode-
rate demand, but at lower quotations.
Rica.—The inquiry for East India, for home nse, has
been limited. At public sale about 9,000 bags were offered,
which sold at a slight reduction on farmer quotations.
FRUIT.—The dealings have been ,of a very limited cha-
racter in both currants and raisins, and; except for the finer
qualities, lower rates are current. ,
SALTPETRE.—The market is quiet, and prices have
undergone little alteration.
The public sales of raw wools at Liverpool have been
brought to a close, and the rates realised for most descrip-
tions, compared with those of last October, show a decline
of led to Id. per lb.

TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.

The publication of the weights for the Spring Handicaps
rather retarded than promoted speculation. The "bills of
pains and penalties" were discussed with much animation,
and a favourable opinion was passed on them. The Handi-
cap for the Chester Cup was deemed too light, but on the
whole it was pronounced most satisfactory. and likely to
insure a large acceptance. Drogheda, who had been backed
at 25 to 1 in the city during the morning, was the only
animal mentioned in with it this afternoon, - and
22 to 1 was the highest offer against him. 25 to 1 was taken.

THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—The
St. Pancras Vestry yesterday passed a strong resolution
condemning the motion to be moved by Mr. Doulton at the ,
Metropolitan Board of Works this day, to prevent deputa-
tions being admitted to address the Board, and calling upon
their representatives strenuously to oppose such an attempt
to stifle public opinion.
The French financial journals state that the rail-
way companies, commencing from the Ist of July
next, will issue obligations to the amount of 310
millions of francs (L 13,600,000) for railway works
during the present- year. Until the date montione,,
the Bank of France will make the necessary bd-
vances. These demands constitute a heavy and per
manent drain upon the market, and as soon as the issues
of new bonds recommence, the value of the existing issues
can.searcely. fail to be affected. In the event of war, great
embarraSsment would probably he experienced.
DISEASE IN WALES.—That dreadful scourge
the small-pox has been very rife in various parts of the
principality, where in some localities it has made dreadful
ravages. It has been prevalent in Carmarthenshire and
Pembrokeshire, where it has often assumed the confluent
form. At Carmarthen it has attacked old and young, and
has been felt in both divisions of the principality. Scarlet .
fever has also been very prevalent, especially among young
children, many -of whom- have fallen victims. With the
small-pox it has been proved that many of those attacked
ware persons who had net availed ithemselves of vaccina-
tion. Diphtheria is likewise prevalent, and the late.
4latinges have largely developed bronchial affections, _ _

CORN EXCHANGE.

During the week a fair average supply of English wheat
—2,260 quarters—has come to hand coastwise. Fresh up
to-day, however, the receipts were trifling, and the show of
samples was consequently small. A large quantity of
foreign flour having come in, millers purchased wheat
sparingly, and the trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline
in value.
We had a dull sale for all kinds of foreign wheat. In
prices, however, no change took place. The imports are
liberal.
Although the total supply of barley was good, most kinds
were in fair request, at full currencies. There was only a
limited sale for malt, on former terms.
Oats were in good request, at fully late rates. Beans and
peas were firm, but flour was very dull, at barely stationary
prices.

each journey, as had been regulated in January, 185%iitte
exempts the traveller for the space of a year from the

usual, but should he have to return to or through Fr'3

with stealing a purse containing one sovereign, three half-
sovereigns, and a nugget of gold, the property of Sir
Michael Omagh, Bart., of 7, Bury-street, St. James's.
It appears that Sir Michael having lost his purse con-
taining the articles above mentioned, communicated the
fact to the keeper of the house, Mr. Bithry, and owing
to the things being missed from the dressing table
in a room to which the accused had access, ho was
suspected and given into custody. On the return
of Sir Michael from his club some hours later, however,
having discovered the purse and its contents in his
pocket, a message .was sent to the station, and the inspector
at once liberated the accused, on his own bail, to appear
this morning in due course. _ _ _

On the accused being placed at the bar, and the above
facts having been mentioned to Mr. Bingham, the officer
who had the case in hand said Sir Michael was not present.

accused, the purse being found, and that ho left the court

GUILDHALL.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A SHERIFF'S CLERK.—James
Hudson, late a clerk in the City Sheriffs' Court, was brought
up on remand, charged with embezzling various sums of
money received by him in his official capacity from various
suitors.

Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, attended for the pri-
soner, who had held his position with credit for many years,
and appeared to feel his disgraceful situation at present
most acutely. _ . .

The case was fully made out, though, from the statement
made by Mr. Beard, it appears that there are extenuating
circumstances.

Committed for trial.

BOW-STREET,

OUR HOUSELESS Poon.—George Pitton, a poor half-
starved looking object, was placed at the bar, charged with
breaking windows.
The gatekeeper of St. Giles's Workhouse said—Last
night the prisoner cama to the gate, and asked for a night's
lodging. I told him to go round to the office and get an
order, which was not a minute's walk, and then I would
admit him. He said he should do nothing of the kind, and
immediately afterwards he took a crust of bread out of his
pocket, and threw it through one of the kitchen windows,
for doing which I gave him into custody.

Mr. Jardine—Do you know him P
Witness—l do not, your worship.
Mr. Jardine (to the prisoner)—Well, what have you to
say to this ?
Prisoner—l hadn't anywhere to go to, and they said they
wouldn't take me in. I didn't know what to do, so I broke
one of the windows. I only came out of Guy's Hospital a
little while.ago.

Mr. Jardine.—What brought. you on this side of the
water, then ?

Prisoner—l want to get back to Sudbury, in Suffolk.
Beadle—He only came out of Coldbath-fields Prison
yesterday,

Mr. Jardine—What were you sent to prison for P
Prisoner—l went to a refuge in the Edgware-road, and
as the beds were all occupied they made a crib up on stools.
I didn't like it, so I got up and went to the fire. I was told
not to go close to the fire, and as I didn't do as I was told
they turned mo out.
Mr. Jardine--Yes; but they did not send you to prison
for it.

Prisoner—No; I broke a square of glass to get a night's

lodging.
Mr. Jardine—How long were you in the house of correc-
tion ?
Prisoner—Fourteen days.
Beadle—lf he had waited a short time longer he would
have been taken in at eight o'clock.
Prisoner—How was I to know that ? You didn't tell me
so, or I shouldn't have broke the window. I want to get
back to Sudbury.
Mr. Jardine—lt is very hard that the public should be
compelled to support such persons as you. You must pay
for the window you have broke.
Prisoner—l can't pay.
Mr. Jardine—Then you must go to prison for 21 days.

SPATE OF TRADE.

-4.
LEICESTER, Sept. 21.—There is a general activity
in the hosiery trade, all branches are well employed,
and there is more than an average amount of busi-
ness transacting, with the prospect of the continu-
ance of a good and healthy demand. The hosiery
trade in the country districts is alto in a buoyant
state. Stocks in hand are unusually light. There
is a fair amount of business doing in yarns, and
prices remain firm. The wool market is tolerably
active, and high prices are obliged to be given for
superior sorts.
NOTTINGHAM', 21st.—There is no improvement to
report in the lace trade ; indeed, there has hardly
much
doing during the last few days.
purchased very sparingly, and manu-
facturers are determined not to accumulate stock

by producing more than they require. The cotton
fancy trade is dull ; the silk lace trade also continues
quiet. The hosiery trade is more active than is
usual at this period o F the year. Orders foi export
are in course of completion, and an increased.trade
will before long, it is expected, be done in this de-
partment. The home trade, except in some parti-
cular branches, is quiet, but upon the whole busi-
ness is in a very healthy state. TIT yarn market
is firm, materials selling at high prices. Silk has
an upward tendency.

THE AIiMY.

The two companies of Royal Engineers now serv-
ing in China—viz., the Bth, under the command of
Lieut. G. Longley, and the 10th, under the com-
mand of Major A. A. Fisher—have been reduced
so much below their original strength, in conse-
quence of their losses and other casualties that a
large detachment will shortly be despatched to
China from the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer
establishment at Chatham, to raise the Bth and 10th
companies to their required numbers. The Royal
Engipeers who will be selected to proceed to China
will Be those who are most advanced in their field-
work instruction, and who have acquired a know-
ledge of pontooning and diving operations.
Orders have been received at- Chatham directing
a number of officers, non-commissioned officers, anal
men, selected from the East India depots attached
to the 3d battalion, to proceed to Eastbourne, in
charge of Capt. A. Wright, 81st Foot, the inst:uc-
' tor in musketry to the battalion, for the purpose of
going through a course of instruction in long range
rifle firing and skirmishing practice. A similar de-
tachment belonging to the depots attached to the
Ist battalion will return to Chatham, having com-
pleted their course of instruction. The system of de-
taching portions of troops from the garrison at Chat-
ham and forwarding them to Eastbourne, has been
found of great advantage, as it enables a larger
number of officers and men at Chatham to be in-
structed in rifle drill than would otherwise be the
case.

Since the 27th company of Royal Engineers re-
turned to head-quarters, Chatham, from Woolwich,
NS here the men were employed in completing the
Armstrong gun factory, the whole of the officers
and men have been put through a course of instruc-
tion in submarine operations and diving at Roches-
ter-bridge, with the diving apparatus invented by
Mr. Reinke, in order that they may be perfected
in this portion of engineering instruction previously
to embarking for the Mauritius to join the 22d
company. The divers work at a depth of about 40
feet, and since they have been employed at Roches-
ter-bridge have succeeded in removing a consider-
able portion of the foundation of the old bridge. In
consequence of the hazardous nature of the work in
which they are engaged each man receives a daily
sum, as working pay, in addition to his regimental
pay. The diving operations are all being carried
out under the direction of Major J. W. Lovell,
C.B. Notwithstanding the number of men who
are daily employed under water, not the slightest
accident has happened to any. of the divers, the
apparatus invented by Mr. Ilemice being so much
under the control of the diver himself as almost
entirely to prevent the possibility of an accident
occurring.
Major-General Sir Richard Dacres yesterday ter-
minated the half-yearly inspection of Woolwich
garrison by a visit to the wards and general depart-
ments of the Royal Artillery Infirmary. The official
residence of the Commandant of the garrison, toge-
ther with the spacious grounds attached to it, is
about to be added to the Infirmary. The late real-

LA TV IXTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.)

BARNET COUNTY COURT.
SINGULAR HORSE CASE-NASH V. WEBB.
This was an action to recover £9—X6 paid to defendant
for a horse, and £3 various expenses incurred through the
purchase of the same.

Mr. Simpson appeared for the plaintiff, who is a rag
merchant of Holloway, and Mr. Beard for defendant, a
farmer, of Highwood-hill, Barnet.

, -
According to plaintiff's testimony and that of his wit-
nesses, it appeared that on the 24th of August he paid 10s.
deposit on a horse in possession of defendant. The horse
was tried and found all right, and defendant warranted it
sound. On the 31st August the balance, £5 10s., waspaid,
and on the Ist September it was discovered that tho horse
was lame. Defendant refused to return the money, and
hence the present action.

For the defence it was insisted that the horse was really
in the same state now as when purchased, and was in
reality only gifted with a "stiff leg." Mr. Beard created
considerable merriment in court by asking how it could be
expected that a£6 horse would be warranted. Why, if he
had only four pins, or wooden legs, he'd fetch £3 at
Atcherleys.

Defendant was called, and said he did not warrant the
horse. The horse was just the same at the present time as
when purchased.

After some conflicting evidence, and the summing up of
the judge, the jury found for the dgfendant, and his Honour
granted full costs.

Mr. Simpson then applied for a new trial.
Mr. Beard was heard in opposition, and contended that
this verdict ought to be accepted by the parties. It was a
case peculiarly for the jury, and it was not feasible that
any one would warrant a £6 horse.

His Honour confessed that he was hardly satisfied with
the verdict; at the same time he advised plaintiff that the
cost of a new trial would be very heavy.
After consulting his client, Mr. Simpson pressed for a
new trial, which was granted upon plaintiff paying the costs
of Mr. Beard's opposition to the application.
