Lori. Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and other peers.)

ANNUAL MEETING.--THIS DAY.

BROOKS, ET. AL. V. BROOKS ET. AL.-APPEAL.
This is an appeal from a decision of Vice Chancellor
Wood, declaring invalid in England the marriage with a
deceased wife's sister in Denmark, where such marriages
are lawful.
Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., resumed his argumett
for the appellant, and in support of his argumeat
that the marriage was lawful, cited " Clark en
Colonial Law," p. 22 ; the " Code Napoleon,"
the Act of 1835, the case of Westly v. Westly, 2 " Drurie,"
and " Warren," p. 502, and 525 ; " Milworth's Ecclesias-
tical Reports," p. 1 to 19; Seal v. Brabant, 9 Geo. 11,
cap. 11—Irish Act—and contended that in every civilised
state and kingdom in the world, except Scotland, such
marriages are valid.

The ordinary general meeting of the proprietors and
directors of the Great Ship Company was held this day, at
the London Tavern.

Samuel Baker, Esq., occupied the chair.
The report, which has already appeared in The Seim,
having been taken as read,

Mr. Matins, Q.C., followed on the same side.
The Attorney-General and Mr. Wilkins represent tie
Crown.

The case was pending when we went to press.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)

Robert Fraser North, described as a merchant, vas
indicted for stealing two sealed orders for the delivery of
tallow, viz , 280 casks and 113 casks, the property of
Messrs. Hubbard & Co., Russian merchants, Birchin-bne,
City. He was also charged on another indictment for
stealing a piece of paper, value 2d., the property of Rth-
ard Goss.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption by the meeting
said—he had great pleasure in ineeting the shareholders that
clay, because they considered the affairs of the company were
highly satisfactory, and another matter of great congratulatiox
was, that the Great Eastern had proved herself, notwith-
standing what had been said in her depreciation, one of the
stoutest ships in the world. (Hear, hear.) The trial trip
to America had been accomplished with unprecedented suc-
cess so far as the proprietors were concerned, and at a loss
only of £344 is. 9d. The ship had been greatly improved
since they had last met, a new deck had been laid down, and
everything done that could conduce to the comfort of the
passengers and the safety of the cargo she might carry in
future. The chairman then alluded to the other points
mentioned in the report, and concluded by saying that he
considered that the ship would prove herself a successful
source of profit by being engaged in the American trade.
Mr. TAYLOR said it would be necessary to make the
passage money less if they wished to make the Great
Eastern pay, and afford accommodation for steerage pas-
sengers. He wished to know whether Captain Hall was
again to be commander of the vessel. He was a highly
popular captain, and a man of great nerve and nautical
skill. _ .

The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
The facts of the case have already appeared in The ksin,
whilst the prisoner was under examination at the Mention
House.

Mr. WEBBER wished to know, in the event of the next
trip made to America not being a paying speculation, if the
directors would consider the expediency of sending the
Great Eastern 10 the East.

The jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground that the
evidence was not sufficient to sustain a charge of larceny.
The second indictment was withdrawn.

Mr. Sergeant Parry said—Since the present proceedings
had been instituted he had returned the warrants for the
delivery of the property.

The CHAIRMAN said it was intended to provide for
steerage passengers. The directors could nct at the present
moment commit themselves to the nomination of a captain.
It would be unwise and impossible to say where the ship
would be sent to after her return from America, but no
time would be lost in sending her elsewhere if the American
trade did not prove remunerative.

NEW COURT.

Edward Gandell, who was yesterday acquitted of a charge
of forgery, was placed at the bar to answer another charge
of the same nature.

Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prisoner, said his client
would plead guilty to the misdemeanour of unlawfully ob-
taining goods within three months of bankruptcy, but not
guilty to the forgery.
Mr. Giffard, under such circumstances, would not proceed
with the indictment for forgery.

Todd, who had acted as principal clerk to the prisoner,
and who yesterday pleaded guilty to misdemeanour, was
then placed beside Gandell for judgment.
The learned judge said he must defer passing sentence
for the present.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

A man named Jackson pleaded guilty to unlawfully ob-
taining goods within three months of bankruptcy. He was
sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment.

POLICE INIELLIGENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

SMASHING A CAFE WINDOW.—Two rough. looking men,
named Thos. Kennedy and Robert Allen were charged as
follows :

It appears that about one this morning, 326 A saw the
prisoners fighting in Piccadilly, opposite No. 226, a cafe.
He heard Allen say to the other prisoner, "If you don't
go away I'll knock your - head through the window ;"
and he kept his word, for a minute after he made a run at
Kennedy and knocked his head through the pane of glass.
Mr. Nicholls, manager of the cafe, on behalf of Mr.
Thorogood, said the glass was of the value of from £l5 to
£2O. He had been much annoyed by Kennedy hanging
about the house for some time, and had also been threatened
by him.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the charge was fighting and breaking
a window. He was sorry the law did not allow him to
inflict a heavier fine than £5 for tho damage, which he
should order Allen to pay; and as Kennedy had also
threatened and annoyed the complainant, he should fine
him 40s. or a month.

Mr. BAumGARTNEn thought the failure of the ship had
hitherto been owing to the mismanagement of the directors.
Much was lost in the ship not being properly advertised.
He thought that having once placed confidence in the direc
tors, and they not having managed matters at all satis-
factorily, they should have further assistance as to
what was to be done for the future. He moved as
an amendment the appointment of a committee of
six practical shipowners to confer and advise with
the directors as to the future management of the ship.
Mr. CHANTER seconded the amendment.
Mr. HAWKES opposed the amendment. He thought the
directors had done their duty well to the shareholders.
Mr. PYFINCH thought it would prove highly remunera-
tive if the ship was again brought to the Thames and
opened as " a show ship." That circumstance would in-
crease the confidence the public had in the ship.
Mr. PARRY thought a voyage to America would not pay.
A voyage to Australia could not fail to turn out remunera-
tive, besides it would only take a month's more stores to
perform the journey.
Mr. TAYLOR was of opinion that a few short passages
ought to be made before she took a long one, and that pro-
per public notice should be given of what were the inten-
tions of the directors with regard to the ship. He thought
that the ship should be sent to America, and on her return
go down the Mediterranean, and then go to America in
August or September. She then would get the cream of
the American passenger traffic, and also get a number
of passengers who were desirous of going up the Medi-
terranean in the interval between her trips to America.
After that he thought the ship might be very advan-
tageously sent to either India or Australia, say on the Ist
of January. If the passage money was put down at 80
guineas for first-class, 50 guineas for the second, and,
supposing they succeeded in securing two hundred first
and:two hundred second-class, about 1,000 tons of casco,
the voyage would pay.
Mr. CABBY agreed with the last speaker as to where the
ship was to go, but it was also important where she went
from. He was in favour of Liverpool.
After some further discussion, the amendment was re-
jected and the report adopted.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BOY.—Thomas Farrant, a boy of
about 16, residing at 43, Upper Harley-street, Marylebone,
was charged with embezzling the sum of £3, received for
his master, Mr. Morris Pillischer, optician, 88, New Bond-
street.

The prisoner bad been in Mr. Pillischer's employ not
more than a fortnight, when, being sent home with some
goods, and haying received the money, £3, he failed to
account to his employer for the same.
Remanded.

Csunt. ASSAULT.—A tall, stout man, named Henry
jan.nn, .ritb. assaulting Mr. Wm. Dawson,
of the Two Ships, 27, Old Compton-street, Soho.
It appears that the defendant --4 the house of
Mr. Dawson and insulted several customers, anu king
put out made the remark that he would either murder or
disable Mr. Dawson. He then returned to the house, awl.-
on being put out seized Mr. Dawson in a delicate part,
causing him such intense pain that he was compelled to go
to bed, and has ever since continued very unwell.
The defendant was fined £5, or two months' imprison-
ment.
