Mr. Sampson said he was plaintiff's ag. It was not
worth plaintiff's while to attend for 12s. He had been in
plaintiff's service, and it was while in such service that be

must give up my City connection—some four or five htul-

His Honour—There, Mr. Benjamin—
Mr. Sampson—Sampson.
His Honour—Benjamin. I cautioned you against that
agreement. There is a large trade in Chancery-lane, which
is very sharp just now.
Mr. Sampson—Yes. Your Honour was kind enci ough

Plaintiff is a domestic servant, formerly employstad
fendant, the high bailiff of this court. This ease crea
considerable interest at Ramsgate, and a new point in re
f6'
rence to domestic servants was mooted. had
Mr. Buchanan (for plaintiff) stated that the put... 7 the

present year. She agreed for a year, and the use
month's notice on either side. On the 25th of June
asked for her month's wages. Defendant thought it liv°`
be better for her to take, her money quarterly. T°
plaintiff demurred, as she wished to buy some clothes,
the money was paid. On the 11th of July she gave no*'

ability to perform the duties of her situation. On the 11:1)
of August, upon leaving, she asked for the sum (XI 05' 811-1
now sought to be recovered, and was told by the defendant,
that she was a quarterly servant, and was engaged 11.,.P°
these terms. Plaintiff denied this, and, being refused
ment, brought the present action.
Plaintiff was called, and stated that she was a tvi-
monthly servant, and never engaged for a quarter.

Cross-examined—She was sure she gave notice.
In answer to this, Mr. Bowling was called, and distinctly
swore there was a quarterly agreement.
In cross-examination, Mr. Bowling said that he foUi
domestic servants, generally, very bad. He had had silt
or seven already this year. They all ran away.
Mr. Buchanan—Some ran to this court. (La-tights')

Defendant—Only one.
Miss Bowling was called, and said that plaintiff agreed 111
her engagement for a quarter certain. All the servant/
were bad. This one (plaintiff) was very bad.
Mr. Buchanan—So you wanted to keep her for more than
another month.
Mr. Irving, for defendant, then put it to the jury whether
the balance of testimony was not in favour of his client.
Mr. Buchanan said all the probabilities were in favour of
plaintiff, who swore to an engagement universal amopg4
domestic servants. Added to this she was now again in
service with a mistress whom she had served five years be-
fore going to defendant. That was a good answer to hsr
being a bad servant.
Mr. Norwood then summed up to the jury, who haute-
or
diately, amidst a perfect hurricane of applause, found f
plaintiff.

POLICE INTELIIGENCE.-(THIS 1141.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
PERSEVERING CONDUCT OF A DETECTIVE.—A Tiif—
lag
DODGE.—John Brown, alias Roche, and John William"
two fellows well known to the police, were charged with
attempting to pick pockets in Oxford-street.
From the evidence of Charles Cole, 317 A, it appeared
that about five o'clock the previous afternoon he saw the
prisoners near Crown-street pushing themselves among s
number of persons who were hastening to a place of slid-
ter in consequence of its raining at the time. He then sof
Brown"feeling a lady's pocket, rand both of them then left
and went as far as Pickford's, where they again stood up
among a number of persons, and Brown felt another lady'o
pocket. They afterwards walked to Dr. Marsden's Mu-
seum, and there stood among a number of persons assem-
bled there, and then Brown placed himself beside a lady
and placed his hand in her pocket, but failed in drawing
out anything but the lining of it, the lady at the timr al"
claiming, " The vagabonds have tried to pick my pockets!'
The prisoner, followed by him (Cole), then ran off an fsr
as the Pantheon, whore they got among several pera°lll4_,
and on seeing him approach Brown went up and'tone
his hat to a lady, who was getting to her carriage, as a
blind to his real intentions. He then, with asoistanof
took them into custody.
Brown,
in a gruff, whining voice, said, "No one had ever
seed him before ;" and Williams said the officer had Wit.
taken him for another gentleman.
It was stated by the officer that Williams has bed
known for some time past, on occasions where watedhal
have been stolen by females in the streets, to have atePr;
up, making himself very busy under the pretence
being a detective, and thus facilitating the escape of th
thieves.

,Committed for three months with hard labour•

THAMES.
WATCH ROBBERY.—Joseph Percival, a well-kao" and
daring thief, aged 20, and who was described as a weaver'
of No. 2, Boundary-street, Shoreditch, was brought before.
Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a watch, valill,eduse"
guineas, from the person of Mr. John Acton, a coffee

keeper, of No. 9, Ship-alley, Wellclose-square.
ol-
It appeared that a mob of disorderly person c
lected near Mr. Acton's own door, and he went out to see
what was tho matter, with his silver watch, to which a
stout guard was attached, in his waistcoat pocket. The
prisoner came up to Mr. Acton's left side and deliberately
unscrewed the ring of the watch and snatched the watch,
with which he ran away. Mr. Acton pursued the thief,
who ran along Ratcliff• highway, Parringtan-street (where
he threw away the watch), and various other places. After
a long case, in which more tan 200 persons joined, the
thief was run down and captuhred. He exhibited a deter
mined resistance before he was secw ed.
Thomas Button, a police-constable, No. 161 H, said the
prisoner had been convicted several times, and had been
sentenced on one occasion to one year's imprisonment and
hard labour for a watch robbery.
Mr. Selfe—The prisoner is now likely to be sentenced W
penal servitude for a long period for this daring robbed'
I have heard many similar cases lately.
The prisoner—l am guilty, your worship. Please W
settle it here.

Mr. Selfe—No ; I shall commit you for trial.
The prisoner—Pray, settle it here, sir ; I was only mar-
ried two months ,ago.
Mr. Selfe—Your wife is not likely to have your comPani
for many years. You are committed for trial.

At the meeting of the Ottoman Bank, to-day, the
Port stated that the accounts for the half-year
allQwed a net profit of £26,030 17s. 4d., and an
41thiple sum had been set apart for bad and doubtful

` That out of the profits above stated, a sum of £5,000,
plug equal to 1 per cent. on the capital of the bank, be
added to the reserve fund, by which addition tl.t fund
Xlll hl/41 raised to £40,000.—That a dividend be declared for

11°PriatIon of the profits will leave a balance of £1,030

The

ranch
that the profit made by the Bank on the
Llirkish loan was very satisfactory, and that the
atanehes were all found by the inspector to be in

dend Were agreed to unanimously.
thAn improvement is apparent in the Stock Ex-
