COMMON PLEAS.-THURSDAY.

CAUTION TO OMNIBUS DRIVERS :MOORE V. BIRD.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a poor man,
a porter, against• the defendant, to recover compensation
for a serious injury which he sustained by being run over
by his omnibus.
In March last, the defendant's omnibus, in company with
another omnibus, which belonged to a• person of the name
of Threwitt, was furiously driving down Oxford-street, to-
wards the City, as if racing. The plaintiff was at the corner
of Marylebone-place, in the act of crossing over ; at that
moment the defendant's and Threwitt's omnibus_ drove ra-
pidly up, and before he could get out of the way he was
run over by the omnibus of the former. He was imme-
diately taken up and conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital,
and, on examination of his injuries, it was ascertained that
one of his ankles was badly bruised, and that the other had

KING'S BENCH-THURSDAY.

DANE V. THE VISCOUNTESS KIRWALL.
Mr. MILLER applied to postpone the trial of this cause,
on the ground that the defendant had been forcibly carried
off by her father-in-law, the Earl of Orkney, and that the
habeas corpus obtained from the Court of Exchequer a few
days ago had not been returned. They asked for this delay
in order to be able to obtain instructions. _ _

Mr. JOHN EVANS, for the plaintiff, required time to
answer the affidavits on which the motion was founded.—
Time was accordingly granted.

WEEKS V. FORD.

This action was brought to recover the balance of an ac-
count. The defendant bad kept a gambling-house under
the name of a club in Dover-street, and had employed the
plaintiff to be his butler at a salary of two pounds a week,
and ten shillings board wages. The establishment did not
succeed, and the defendant decamped, leaving his servants
in the house. This action was afterwards brought to re-
cover the balance of an account for goods supplied by
the plaintiff to the house,, and also for arrears of board
wages.
Mr. PLATT appeared for the plaintiff, and the ATTOR-
NEY-GENERAL for the defendant.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the de-
fendant.

TURNER V. RAWLINSON.

This was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls on a
decision with respect to exceptions to the Master's report.
The suit was instituted to compel the specific performance
of a contract, and the question now raised had reference
principally to the facilities which a vendor was bound to
give a purchaser in the investigation of the title, and in the
comparison of the abstracts with the original, deeds, accord-
ing to the practice of conveyances.
Their LORDSHIPS dismissed the appeal with costs.

PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS.

A very useful, practical work, containing an analysis'
drawn up with considerable accuracy, of the f
liamentary proceedings of the last Session, and P°se,
sessing the rare recommendation of being wholly fre,
from any thing like party bias. The work will b;
continued annually, and, as it is one much wanted) is
have no doubt it will meet with a fitting circulation.

The average of the whole period is 17f. 53c. per hecto
litre, which is equal to 40s. 2d. per quarter ; and it will be
seen that the average of October of the present year is the
lowest of the whole period.
There is a remarkable difference in the mode of taking
the averages in France and in England. In the former
country it is taken from the prices of 26 places only, and
these chief towns and cities ; while in the latter it is taken
from the prices of 150 places, many of which are of small
consideration.

The population of France being in round numbers
32,000,000, while the population of England and Wales is
only 14,000,000, if the French system were to be adopted
in England, then, regard being had to population, the ave-
rage would have to be made up from" the returns of 12
places only, instead of 150 ; and, on the other hand, if the
English system were to be adopted in France, then, upon
the same principle, the average would have to be made up
from the return of 343 places instead of 26.
The French averages being taken from the sales made in
only 26 places, and these chief towns and cities, and the
corn consumed in large towns and cities being always much
superior to the average quality of tile whole country, and
being moreover loadad with charges of transport, it is evi-
dent that the French official averages represent a much
higher price than the real average price of the whole country.
The English mode of taking the averages is very fair as
regards the number of places which enter into the calcula-
tion, but by admitting the sales of Irish and Scotch corn,
which is of very inferior quality, it represents a lower price
than the real average price of English corn.
The French mode, by representing a higher price than
the real average of the country, is favourable to the intro-
duction of foreign corn under a graduated scale of duties.
The English mode, by representing a lower price than the
real average of English corn, is adverse to the introduction
of foreign corn under a graduated scale of duties.

The difference between the mode of taking the averages
in France and England respectively cannot amount to less
than 10 per cent. on the price of wheat, and as arising from
the mere circumstance of the much greater absolute and in-
finitely greater comparative number of places at which the
prices are taken in one country than in the other ; and if it
be next considered that the average quality of the French
wheat is probably 15 and certainly 10 per cent. superior to
that of the united kingdom, this will make 20 per cent. to be
added to the average mice of English wheat before it can
be brought to fair and equal terms of comparison with the
average price in France.
And, therefore, the average price of wheat in France for
the month of October of the present year being 325. the
quarter, and the average price in England and Wales for
the six weeks ending the 31st. ult., being 375. the quarter,
which, with the addition of 20 per cent., makes 445. sd. the
quarter, it follows that the average price in England is 39a
per cent. higher than in France.

THE RING V. WARD.

This was an indictment for a nuisance. The defendant
had erected a pier at West Cowes, in the Isle of Wight,
on the river Medina, for the accommodation of steam-boat
passengers, which, it was alleged, obstructed the navigation
to the town of Newport. The case was tried before Lord
Chief Justice Denman, who put the question to the Jury
in the following way—ls the pier a nuisance to the naviga-
tion of the river, or is the public benefited by the improved
facility it affords in landing and embarking passengers and
merchandise ? The Jury found that an impediment to the
navigation was created, but that it was counterbalanced by•
the benefit to the public. Lord. Denman had then en-
quired, was the impediment to such an, extent as to create
a nuisance ? The Jury found the.: it was a nuisance, but that
it was counterbalanced in the way stated. A verdict of guilty
against the defendant was entered, subject to the decision
of the Court. A rule nisi for setting aside the verdict and
entering a verdict of not guilty for the defendant having
been subsequently obtained,
Mr. EARLE and Mr. SEWELL were heard against the
rule, and Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT and Mr. BERE in sup-
port of it.
Lord DENMAN thought the case required some further
consideration, and it might probably turn out that it would
be necessary to submit the question to another Jury.

BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

PERQUISITES OF BUTLERS.-THE KING V. --.

Mr. MELLort moved on behalf of the defendant for a
writ of Habeas Corpus to bring up the defendant's body
from the gaol of Surrey, and for a certiorari to remove the
depositions taken before the Magistrates of Marylebone Po-
lice-office, upon a charge of felony for which he had been
committed to trial. The object of the present application
was in order that the delendaut might be admitted to bail,
there being no foundation for the charge against him.
The prosecutor is John B. llankey, Esq. (th;banker), of
Hitchcombe Park, Surrey, and the defendant is charged
with having received from his butler a quantity of wax
candles, partly consumed, knowing them to be stolen. The
defendant, who is foreman of a respectable candle manufac-
tory in Mount-street, submitted that the candle-ends.were
the perquisites of gentlemen's butlers, and that he had been
in the habit of purchasing them as such.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDAE was by no means aware that
such was the case. There was an old stipulation that but-
lers should have " candle-ends and cheese-parings," but
not wax candles valuable enough to be sold to a respect-
, able house.

Mr. MELLoR—That they were the butler's perquisites
was admitted by the chief witness for the prosecution. The
defendant was not in the first instant charged, but volun-
tarily came forward, conscious that he had no felonious in-
tent, and his employers were conscious such was the fact.
COURT—Take your rule.

LAMBETH- STREET.

Yesterday as soon as Mr. Hardwick had taken his seat
on the bench, a gentleman belonging to his Majesty's Mint,
whose name was understood to be Nicholson, waited on
him to request the assistance of an officer of the establish-
ment, to investigate, and trace out, if possible, the parties
who, it was alleged, had burglariously broken into his
house on the night before, and not only robbed it of 5001 in
cash, but Let it on fire. The gentleman said that all he
knew of the facts connected with the affair was from a letter
he received from his groom, who lived at his country resi-
dence at Hayes, in Middlesex, on that morning, and which
stated merely that the thieves had carried off 5001. belong-
ing to him (the groom), and that they had also set the house
on fire ; but the latter being discovered by him (the groom),
and the other servants, they succeeded in extinguishing it
before much damage was done.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Michael Collins, convicted at the previous Sessions of
an aggravated case of extorting money from a poor widow
by falsely pretending he was an attorney, was brought up
to receive sentence.

The sentence of the Court was three months' imprison-
ment and hard labour, which they considered a very lenient
one, and in which opinion the counsel for the prisoner en-
tirely concurred.
William Hales, aged 45, a miserable looking man, was
indicted for committing an assault upon his mother, and
attempting to stab her with a knife.
The prisoner had been confined for 18 months in a lunatic

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday Benjamin Henry Rodwell, the young man
charged last week with bigamy, was finally examined, when
it appeared that at the first marriage there was no attest-
ing witness except the clergyman and the parish clerk, both
of whom now came forward, but could not identify the
defendant. The evidence being thus defective, he was
discharged amidst the congratulations of his numerous
friends, who were present.

COMMON PLEAS-TUESDAY.

Mr. Justice VAUGHAN did not come into Court to-day.
The Court rose early.
At, its. rising• a person, apparently about sixty years of
age, addressed the Court, and requested to know when it
would heat' his motion upon an affidavit, which was very
voluminous ?

The CHIEF JUSTICE said that the Court were then ready
to hear him.

The applicant replied that,. in point of fact, the affidavit
was not even sworn.

The COURT desired the applicant to get the affidavit co-
pied out fairly.
The applicant said that such was his condition it was
impossible. He then went into a long rambling story
about his being unjustly imprisoned by that Court for five
years, and that it had taken him four months to prepare
his affidavit.

The COURT appointed Tuesday next for the hearing.

CONSISTORY COURT-TUESDAY.

RAY V. SHERWOOD AND RAY, FALSELY CALLED SHERWOOD.
This was a suit for nullity of marriage, on the ground of
incest, promoted by Mr. Robert Ray against Emma Ray,
his daughter.
The KING'S ADVOCATE was now heard on behalf of the
allegation.
Dr. PHILLIMORE appeared on the same side.
Dr. ADDAMS replied, and the Court deferred its judgment.
ARCHBUTT V. ARCHBUTT.
This was a suit for divorce, on the grounds of cruelty
and adultery, promoted by Mary Amelia Archbutt against
her husband. An allegation was given in on the part of
the wife.
The KING'. ADVOCATE opposed the admission of certain
parts of the libel.
Mr. ADDAMS supported its admission, and the Court
directed it to be admitted, with a few reformations.

INSOLVENT COURT-TUESDAY.

Jose Mascarenas, whose case was reported yesterday,
again came up. The insolvent was ordered to produce Mr.
Fagan, a surgeon, residing in Lambeth, to whom he alleged
201. had been paid by another Spanish exile, named An-
tonine Farrar, to whom he had given a chaise as a con-
sideration.

Mr. CooKE, for the insolvent, was authorised to say
that 201. of the money had not been paid to Mr. Fagan,
notwithstandinc, Farrar had sworn to that effect ; he, there-
fore, prayed the case to stagd adjourned.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—I am sure you feel as Ido on
this subject. Where is the chaise ?

Mr. L'oosE said it was in the possession of Farrar.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Then let it be given up.
The case was adjourned for the chaise to be sold by the
officer of the Court, and for the insolvent to insert Mr.
Fagan as a creditor in the schedule.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday a respectably dressed young man, named
James Guest, alias James Williams, was brought before
Mr. MrNstruLL by Shackell, the gaoler, charged with steal-
ing a quantity of window-glass, the property of Mr. Richard
Cobbett, of No. 9, Northumberland-street, Strand, in whose
employment he had been as foreman. Mr. Flower, the
Aolicitor, attended for the prisoner.
The prosecutor, it appeared, is a plumber and glazier in
a very extensive way of business, and has been for many
years past employed on contract to perform the necessary
repairs and alterations in his line at Hampton Court Palace
and others of the Royal establishments. The prisoner
acted as foreman at Hampton Court Palace, and it was his
duty to send up to the warehouse for any materials that
might be wanted. In this way several large packages of
glass had been lately sent down to be used, it being his
b4siness to furnish a correct account of what was used, and
the quantity remaining on hand. On Saturday evening
last Shackell, the officer was going through Red Lion-
square, when he met the prisoner with a very large basket
well filled upon his shoulder. He was walking in a very
hurried manner, and, suspecting something wrong, the offs.
cer stopped him, and asked him what he had there, and,
he said nothing but his tools. Shackell looked in the
basket and saw a quantity of glass, upon which he said,
" You have something else here besides tools." The pri-
soner replied, " My tools are at the bottom of the basket."
"Shackell searched the basket, but it was entirely filled with
glass, and no tools were to be found. When further ques-
tioned he said his name was James Williams, and that he
lived in Little Gray's Inn-lane, both of which statements
proved, upon inquiry, to be false ; and the officer ascer-
tained where he had been employed, and that he had come
from Hampton Court that afternoon.
The prisoner declined saying anything.
Mr. Miran= asked what the character of the pri-
soner had been ? Mr. Cobbett said he bad been five
years in his service, and had always been considered per-
fectly honest.
Mr. Flower said that as the prisoner had until now
borne a good character, and as there must be some diffi-
culty in identifying the glass, perhaps the worthy Magis-
trate would be disposed to act summarily instead of
sending the case to a jury.
Mr. Cobbett said he had no inclination to be too se-
' vere upon the prisoner, and Mr. MINSHULL convicted him
under the Police Act as a rogue and a vagabond, for hav-
ing stolen goods in his possession without lawful excuse,
an committed him to hard labour in the House of Cor-
rection for two calendar months.

HUGHES V. RAWLINS.

In this case the defendant, a respectable solicitor of Sa-
lisbury-street, Strand, Secretary to a Conservative Club,
and supporter of the claims of his party at the Westmin-
ster Registration, appeared to a summons taken out against
him by,the plaintiff, a tailor, carrying on business in Duke-
street, Adelphi, to show cause why he refused or neglected
to pay him the sum of one guinea, as compensation for his
loss of time in attending before Mr. Craig, the Revising
Barrister, at his Court, held in the Guildhall, his claim as
a voter at the election of Members of Parliament for the
city and liberty or borough of Westminster having been
objected to by Mr. Rawlins.
Mr. Hughes said that the defendant bad served a notice
of objection on the overseers of the parish of St. Martin's-
in-the-Fields against his claim 'as a house and scot and lot
voter. They had published his name as having been so
objected to in their printed lists, which they had exhibited
on the doors of the church. In consequence of which be
attended the four first days of the registration, and on his
claim on the scot and lot and house lists being called on by
Mr. Craig, the defendant said he had no objection against
the same, but had mistaken him for another party. His
claim on both lists was consequently allowed.
Mr. Rawlins should not advert to the merits of the case;
but would contend that the Court could not entertain it.
He would say that be bad not contracted a debt with the
plaintiff. The Court might act as they pleased ; but he
should retire.
The COMMISSIONERS then divided on the question be-
fore them, when there appeared to be a majority of ten to
three in favour of the plaintiff's claim and costs.
The COURT granted the defendant a fortnight to dis-
charge the debt, as well as to allow him sufficient time to
enter proceedings in a superior Court, to try the validity of
their decision.

On Wednesday morning;, about 6 o'clock, a middle-

street, Edinburgh, was discovered inipaled on the iron spikes
'constituting the railing before the house. It is understopd
that for some months previous the
,poor woman had shown
symptoms of mental derangement ; and it is supposed that
in a paroxysm of the disease, she had leaped out of her
hed-room window, three stories from the ground, and alight-
ing upon the spikes- directly in the andomen, became trans-
fixed in the shOcking manner in which it was found.—

PAVILION THEATRE.

The opera of Cinderella was produced here last night,
I°r the purpose of introducing Miss Farsons and Mr. Crow,
ale of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, in the characters of
Cinderella and.Dandini. They were both most favourably
„
.eceived, and the whole of the piece went off greatly to the
7llsfa.ction of a crowded house. The person of this lady
`ti= admirably suited to give effect to the part chosen for her
e6ut—as, to a remarkably graceful form, she adds sylph-
D"'e action, and a countenance at once intelligent and highly
`4leresting. Her voice possesses considerable compass and
,
melody, but she seems to want practice, or something
to give it fulness and flexibility ; still her performance
a'S altogether promising and satisfactory. Crow's singing
(1 acting as Dandini was spirited and correct. Edwin
4s the Fe/ix, and he never appeared to more advantage.

NUGEE V. THORNE.

An application was made to the Court in this case to en-
large the rule obtained for a peremptory undertaking until
the sittings after Hilary Term. The ground for the appli-
cation was, that two men who, it was alleged, were material
witnesses for the plaintiff, could not at present be fotind.

DUFOUR V. COUNT D'ORSAY.
In this case an application was made on the part of the
defendant for a rule to show cause why the plaintiff, who is
resident in France, should not give security for the costs of
the action. Count D'Orsay had been arrested on the 19th
of May, at the suit of the plaintiff,ed on the 4th of No-
vember the Count wrote to the attornies for the .plaintiff,
Messrs. Lane and Co., serving them at the same time with
a copy of tbe notice of motion which was then made on his
behalf.—The Court granted a rule.

COMMON PLEAS-THURSDAY•

WILKS V. THE HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY.

This was an action tried at the sittings in last'Trinity
Term, when the plaintiff obtained a verdict for 301. It was
brought to recover damages which the plaintiff sustained in
his trade as a law-bookseller, by having a certain passage
stopped up by the defendants for an unreasonable length of
time. At the corner of Northumberland-passage, a portion
of this particular line, the plaintiff kept a shop, and the line
of way was much frequented by professional gentlemen
going to the Courts of Law and Houses of Parliament.
From April to July, 1833, the obstruction existed in this
line of passage, and the plaintiff brought his action for the
loss of his trade, and obtained 301. damages.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE to-day supported a conditional or-
der to show cause why a new trial should not be had or the
damages reduced.

Mt. KELLY was heard on the other side.
The COURT, while they discharged the rule, felt it their
duty to reduce the damages from 301. to 20s.

HIGH SHERIFFS-IRELAND.

With the Returns of the High Sheriffs made this year,
;ft
xeral and, we think, a not ill-grounded dissatisfaction
Ist's. The recent appointments appear to have been de-
•
'lnined, not by the wealth and respectability of the parties,
toe
by their station in the country, neither by the fitness of
emen for the duties of the office ; but the selection seems
to
have been entirely influenced by party politics. It would
,era that the going-Judges had no other object, than to
:ettre a list of sheriffs throughout the country, composed
of Orangemen. Is this wise ? is it prudent ? is
t just ? is it even 'legal ? Surely such proceedings, so
;aught with mischief and peril as they evidently are, will
ot
be passed over in silence.
fa, -La defence of this judicial favouritism towards the Orange
C4ti°ll, one of their journalists,' the Mail, has had the
/(lihood stoutly to deny the acts of partiality proved
;t'aitist the goino-Judges, declaring " that there are very
ZRoman Catholics, and still fewer Radicals, in Ireland,
"0, from property or station, possess the qualifications or
ile character necessary for the office." The Dublin Even-
Post plainly pronounces this assertion " a rank false-
. Our Contemporary does more—he proves the un-
-I.olltll by actual cases, by evidence of facts and persons-
-4 Ofs triumphant and irrefragable. " We shall for this
ly
says our Contemporary, " take the smallest, or one
pa the smallest counties in Ireland—Leitrim. The three
I)lnes returned for this county are—Westby Perceval, A.
ttereY, and E. Tennison. Now, what are the qualifications
these gentlemen? Great territorial possessions ? If our
, )7thority be correct, and we have no reason to doubt it,
~t
one of these gentlemen possess a single acre of land
ki'nis county, nor are we aware that they are land pro-
hetors in any other. What other qualifications, then ?
Ala"Y are—and no doubt they will be glad to acknowledge
Vact—Masters of Orange Lodges."
eo, ,t appears that in Ireland "territorial possessions, ac-
`ung to Orange usage, form no item in the qualification
dita High Sheriff." The mode, too, of appointing them
el's widely from that observed with us in England. In
Graud
the going Judge selects three names from the
Panel, and the County may be ignorant of the
teetien, until the names appear in the Dublin Gazette.
ft, all events, we are not aware that the Judges declare
Cal the Bench the names which have been selected, nor
I°,%ve know, if he even did, whether the county can ques-
%o the list. In England, the system is to nominate the
its in the Court of Exchequer, publicly."
ft, t may be remarked, with reference to the qualification
bll,oar English Sheriffs, that only a few days ago several
‘lemen were set aside in various counties, on the ground
1111'4 being possessed of a sufficient property qualification.
ttvtla the rule of appointment in England forms the ex-
-1)4% in Ireland ; the only Nualification required there
t the possession of Orange principles.
