After a few observations from the chairman (Sir J.
Shelley, Bart.) in respect to the accounts, the
report was adopted, and a vote of thanks was
Passed to the directors.
The market for English Securities to-day has
nen rather variable. At first it appeared buoyant,
and the fall which occurred yesterday was nearly
r~recovered, but sales were pressed afterwards,
further
to the report that the French funds had
mrther receded, and fresh indications of heavi-
ness ensued. Consols declined from 961 to
956 96, at which they still remain. The
New
Threes and the Reduced are 961 ; Bank
00ek is 2261; India ditto, 224 ; ditto Loan Deben-
tures, 991; Exchequer Bills 375. to 40s. prem. ;
ditto Bonds are firm at 1000, ; Long Annuities
are (1860) 1 3-16th ; ditto (1885) 181 3-16th.
The Government broker has made a purchase of
£20,000 Stock, on the Savings Banks' account.
In the Foreign St{pek Market only a limited
business has been transacted, and in most instances
Previous rates have been supported. Turkish 6
Per Cents, are 911 to 92 ; ditto Scrip, first issue,
801 to 811; ditto, second issue, 41 to 31 dis. ;
and ditto, 4 per Cents., are 1051-. Brazilian 41
Per Cents. are firm at 941 H ; Portuguese at 471 ;
and Russian 41 per Cents, at 1001 1. Venezuelan
8 per Cents. are steady, at 431 to 44; Sardinian
at 861 87 ; Spanish at 45i ; Dutch 4 per Cents.
are flat, viz., 1011; Chilian Loan is 2 to 1 dis.
A steady improvement is still apparent in the
traffic returns of all the principal railways of the
United Kingdom. As the recovery in trade pro-
ceeds a further increase may be anticipated, and
Shareholders generally appear satisfied with their
future prospects. The market, consequently, is
my firm, although it is naturally influenced by
y depreciation in the value of the funds. The
forthcoming half-yearly meetings are awaited with
120 me curiosity, and favourable dividends seem to
be expected not only on account of the augmented
earnings, but also in consequence of the savings
that must have been effected in the debenture
operations, through the abundance and cheapness
of money.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1859.

,LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
APPEAL.-H.AXILAND V. MORTIBOY.

The question in contention in this case is, whether the
plaintiff's sister, and next of kin of the late Mr. John Shep-
herd, George-street, Euston-square, is entitled to £6,000,
being one-half of his personal estate at the time of his death,
the plaintiff having already received the other half.

Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart found that the plaintiff
was also entitled to this sum of £6,000. _ _ _

The defendant, Mr. Mortiboy, appealed, but the plaintiff
stands as appellant, and defendant as respondent.
The evidence in the cause having been concluded yes-
terday,
Mr. John Drake Coleridge, for the defendant, resumed
his address to the Court upon the import of the evidence
in the cause this morning. The learned counsel, in a clear
and lucid statement of the case, contended that the balance
of evidence produced was in favour of the defendant,
and showed that Mrs. Mary Shepherd was lawfully
married to the late Mr. John Shepherd, and to
no other person. That the alleged statements made
by the two servants, Hannah Hawkins and Ann
Wood, that Mrs. Shepherd told them that she had
been previously married to Mr. Masters, was not true, but
was contradicted by the surrounding facts and circum-
stances of the case. It was equally untrue that Mrs.
Shepherd was married to Jones, or Ward, or any other
but only to Mr. John Shepherd. The defendant, Mr.
Mortiboy, is trustee for Mrs. Shepherd, and the legality of
his claim to the £6,000 in question depends on the validity
of the marriage of Mrs. A. Shepherd at St. Pancras Church
in 1824, which is disputed by the plaintiffs.
Mr. Malin, Q.C., is now being heard in reply for the
plaintiffs upon the whole case.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE CALVERT AND CO.

To-day was appointed for hearing a trader debtor's sum-
mons, taken out against Messrs. Calvert and. Co., brewers,
by Mr. F. Hunt, of Mina-road, Old Kent-road. James
Smith, of Colford-street, Hoxton, and James Mason, of
William-terrace, Faillela-road, Bow, journeymen binders,
who claimed a sum of £s29 Bs. The case possesses some
interest from the fact that since the trader debtor's sum-
mons was taken out, on the 30th December last, Messrs.
Calvert have filed a deed of arrangement under the 6-7ths
clause, and the trustees or inspectors yesterday filed a cer-
tificate that 6-7ths of the creditors are above £lO each, had
signed the deed, this being done in accordance with sec. 226
of the Bankruprcy Consolidation Act, which, in effect,
makes the deed prima facie evidence in courts of law and
equity, and in case the summons was answered by an affi-
davit that there was a gooddefence to the action. The exist-
ence of the deed was referred to, on which •

Mr. C. Lewis, who appeared for the petitioning creditors,
who dissented from the deed, said that as no affidavit had
been made that there was a good defence ;to the action, he
must ask for a bond.

His Honour refused. He wsuld not make an order on
I,aese disputed cases.

Gill, a tinplate-worker, in Fore-street, Limehouse, and he
had been away from him some time in consequence of very
severe illness. He recently offered his services to his mas-
ter, who required him to work from six in the morning till
eight at night, which was more than he was able to do.

Mr. Yardley thought it unreasonable to require a grow-
ing youth to work for more than 12 hours per day, includ-
ing meal times, even if he was in good health, but he should
certainly say, from the appearance of the lad, that eight or
ten hours per day was all that could be reasonably required
of him. The lad put in a certificate signed by Dr. Richard-
son, of the Dispensary for Diseases of the Chest, in the
City-road, stating that he could only work from eight to
ten hours per day.

Mr. Yardley said a master had no right to kill an ap-
prentice. If the lad was overworked and died in conse-
quence, the master would be liable to an indictment for
manslaughter. The boy could only be required to work
according to his strength.
The lad said that his master's son struck him on the
head with a mallet in September, 1867, and the blow caused
concussion of the brain.

Mr. Yardley said, in the face of the certificate produced,
the boy ought not to be employed either 12 or 14 hours per
day, and granted a summons against Mr. Gill.
IMPUDENT ROBBERY.--Ellen Shea, a woman of the
town, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with steal-
ing 6d. from a szilor named Thomas Wiley, belonging to
the collier brig Venus, lying off Stone-stairs, Ratcliff.
The prosecutor, a Newcastle man, entered a public-house
with two shipmates this morning. They called for a pot
of beer, and while partaking of it, Wiley, who had been
drinking very freely, became sick. He was holding his
head down and vomiting when the prisoner put her hand
in his trousers pocket and took from it five pennyworth of
halfpence and ran away. The sailor pursued her and gave
her into custody of a policeman, who took the money from
her.

The prisoner pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two
months' imprisonment with hard labour.

The summons was then dismissed.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Jury.)

THIRD EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

SINGULAR ACTION AGAINST A MILITARY OFFICER:-
DAMAGES £600.-DASTARD V. LOFTUS.

Plaintiff is a widow lady of considerable property, and
defendant is a lieutenant-colonel of militia, residing at
Spilsby, in Lincolnshire. The action was brought to re-
cover damages sustained by reason of the detention by
defendant of certain articles deposited with him by plaintiff,
and which he has neglected to return. No one appeared
for defendant, win suffered judgment to go by default.
Counsel for plaintiff said that she was a widow lady
of good family and independent property. Amongst
other articles, she was at one time possessed of a
most valuable set of massive silver plate. This plate
was very old-fashioned, and much more valuable
than similar articles now manufactured. From some cause
or another she, being about to proceed on the continent,
was desirous of parting with this property, and having
kaown the defendant for some time, she entrusted him
with the plate, and instructed him to sell it for her if he
could. Upon her return from the continent, she found
that defendant had not sold the plate, and not wishing then
to part with it, she asked defendant to return it. She was
put off with excuses from time to time. At one time she
should have it the next day, and at another time he
wrote that having lost a son she could not expect him then
to trouble about a set of plate. Finally, much against her
will, plaintiff had been driven to the present course. He
(the learned counsel) repeated that he had not the evidence
of a silversmith to offer to prove the value of the plate.
Neither could he give the weight. Mrs. Bastard having
had to do with an officer and a gentleman, had not taken
steps that would have proved most protective to herself.
As it was, however, the jury would receive such evidence as
he could give, and they would give the highest sum, as there
was no proof that plaintiff's value was an incorrect one. Some
years ago, a chimney sweep found a diamond in the street,
and there being no owner he was adjudged the rightful
possessor. He took the diamond to a silversmith, and
offered it for sale, but the silversmith, thinking it a good
opportunity to do the 'poor sweep, kept the diamond, and
refused to render any account of it. Upon this an action
was brought, and the silversmith refusing to produce the
diamond, it was valued as a brilliant of the first water. In
the present case defendant refused to produce the plate
that had been entrusted to him, and ho (the counsel) called
upon the jury to give plaintiff the sum she claimed.
Evidence having been given of the above facts, and the
learned Secondary having summed up,
The jury found for plaintiff—damages, £6OO.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
A BARGAIN'S A BARGAIN.-CHILD T. SISSON.
This was an action to recover £7 12s. 6d. for two cwt. of
lemon peel, 70s. per cwt.
_ _ _

Plaintiff stated that he was a manufacturing confectioner,
and in December last year had in his stock nearly half a
ton of lemon peel ready for candying. A person named
Raymond called upon plaintiff and said he thought he could
find a purchaser for the peel, and offered 665. per cwt. for
it. Plaintiff declined to take this, and said he would sell at
705., and allow Raymond 2s. per cwt. for his trouble.
A sample was taken by Raymond to defendant, a large
confectioner in Bishopsgate-street, and an order given.
Two hundred weight of the peel was sent in, but defendant
found fault and refused to accept any more. He offered
a price, but as peel at that time would be worth 905., and
the price asked was low, ho (plaintiff) did not think he was
called upon to ask a lower figure than 70s.
Raymond was called, and swore to these facts.
Mr. Beard, for defendant, said the facts were widely dif-
ferent from these. Mr. Sisson never recognised plaintiff in
the matter, and dealt only with Mr. Raymond, who, upon
calling with the sample, assured him (defendant) that the
peel was ready for candying. Indeed, in the first instance,
the peel was not offered to defendant for sale, but Raymond
asked him what would be his charge for candying it. De-
fendant said he should rather buy the peel out and out, and
after candying charge Raymond the lowest price. The peel
was sent in, but instead of its being fit for candyingl
it would be at least four days before that process could be
gone on with, and then defendant would be put to consider-
able extra expense. Finding this to be the case, defendant
at once communicated with Raymond, and insisted that the
peel should be taken away ; but Raymond asked him to
keep it, and said ho should have it at a price. The peel at
the outside was worth 455. . .

Defendant was called, and two witnesses also, who de-
posed to the above facts, and that tho peel was not worth
70s.

To answer this plaintiff said peel was very scarce, and
defendant had got the peel a bargain.
Mr. Beard would assure his Honour that not one piece
had defendant been able to use.

TATTERSALLS'-( THIS EVENING.)

His Honour thought that defendant had not derived any
benefit from his bargain; but a bargain is a bargain, and
defendant must be bound by his.
Verdict for plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN-

ROBBING A PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTlST.—Charles Clark, a
respectable-looking young man, residing at 6, Pleasant-row,
Stoke Newington, assistant to Mr. Charles Stanley Herve,
photographic miniature painter, of 256, Oxford-street, was
charged with stealing a photographic lens, &c., the pro-
perty of his employer.

COLNSHIRE.

The prosecutor said the prisoner was in his employ as an
assistant up to Saturday last, and while he was in his em-
ploy, about a fortnight, he missed several small articles,
such as cases, in consequence of which he spoke to another
assistant, telling him to observe the prisoner, and, having
done so, the lens in question was yesterday missed.
George Frederick Kirkwood, assistant to the prosecutor,
said that tho previous morning he missed the lens, and told
his employeir. The prisoner happening to call in the after-
noon ho told him to wait till Mr. Herve came in, and when
he did so he said to the prisoner, " Wo want that lens."
At first the prisoner denied all knowledge of it, but on his
employer telling him to fetch up the officer who was below,
the prisoner said, "If you'll wait till to-morrow morning
I'll produce it." He was then given into custody.
Frank Gillaird, assistant to Mr. Gill, pawnbroker, of 8,
Hampstead-road, produced the lens pawned by the prisoner
on the 18th of January, for 7s.

The directors, of this company have just issued
their half yearly report. It states that the directors
have pleasure in announcing that the competition
which has so long prejudicially affected the prin-
cipal railway companies has now ceased, and that
the heads of two agreements have been signed on
behalf of the London and North Western, Great
Northern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
shire companies, the first under date the 26th of
November, the second the 23d of December last.
'The agreements are to be taken as in operation from
the Ist of January, 1859. The first agreement
provides for a complete interchange of non-compe-
titive traffic at through rates, and also provides for
equal rates for competitive traffic, to be settled by
arbitration in case of dispute. The second agree-
ment provides for a general division of competitive
traffic, and for the proper passage of competitive
and non-competitive traffic to and from Liverpool,
on agreed terms, by such arrangements (to be sub-
mitted to Parliament for confirmation) as, when
fully completed, will, it is hoped, obviate the
necessity for any outlay of capital by the company
between Garston and Liverpool.
Tho accounts of the half year show a total
revenue from all sources of £293,399, a total ex-
penditure of £148,846, and a balance of net profit
of £144,553; which, with the balance of £1,031
from the previous half year, amounted to £145,584
available for interest and dividend. The de-
benture and other interest-charges against the
half year amounted to £69,533, the canal an-
nuities to £13,754, the dividend on debenture
stock to £650, the dividend on the £6 preference
shares to £23,725, the dividend on the 31 preference
stock to £2,952, the dividend on the 6 per cent.
preference stock to £26,160, and the dividend on
