APPEAL..--.SMITH V. KAY.

The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was
resumed this morning._

Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was being heard for the appellant. The
learned counsel went very fully into the parol and written
evidence produced in the cause, and asked for a reversal of
the decision of the court below.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls, cancelling a bond for £12,564 10s., granted by the
respondent, Mr. Kay, to the appellant, Mr. Smith, his
solicitor, for bills and cash advances made to him in his
minority It appeared that the appellant was engaged in
bill and cash transactions for and on account of the respon-
dent to the amount of between forty and fifty tthousand
pounds, and the bond in question was taken as a security
for these combined advances, on the supposition and
assurance that the respondent would confirm them when he
came of age.
The respondent pleaded confederacy, misrepresentation,
and want of valuable consideration in granting the bond in
question, and asked for relief by cancelling this bond.
At twelve o'clock the further hearing was adjourned till
Monday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH. STREET.

DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A SHERIFF'S OFFICER.—
Edward Murray, of 16, St. Martin's-court, proprietor of the
Hotel Union, and Antonio Borbardini, were charged with
the following assault on James Bentley, a sheriff's officer,
and also on James Milward, a quartermaster on half-pay.
Bentley said he went to the Hotel Union to arrest a per-.
son named Samorini. Sat at a table, called for some beer,
asked for Samorini, who came to him, and witness then spike
about the debt. He said it should be settled. Feeling
satisfied he had the right man, he told him to come to the
door to speak to a friend, a cry wan set up, and a rush of
foreigners to the door took place, and an attempt was made to
rescue Samorini. Amongst the persons present were the pri-
soners. After Samorini was rescued he was kicked in the
stomach by the prisoner Murray from which he had been spit-
ting blood . Called to his assistance a person named Milward,
whom he had taken with him, knowing the character of the
people he was going among. The struggle was of a most
desperate nature. Was knocked about with much violence,
his coat torn from his back, and his papers lost.
Milward, who began by saying that he was a retired
officer, and had risen from the ranks, confirmed the last
witness in every particular, and said that he was called on
by the last witness to assist him. The attack was a most
desperate one—twenty to two. The prisoner Murray was
prominent in the affray, the others also struck them several
times.

This witness was' subjected to a long cross-examination
which created great amusement in the court, stating that
he had many times fought under great disadvantages, but
never so much as twenty to two—did not mind twelve to
two. _ _ _

Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, addressed the
magistrate (Mr. Bingham) at some length, contending that
Murray, who was the son of an old Waterloo officer, was
not the man,
and that it was a case of mistakenidseanutiotyye.r.
Several witnesses were called in support of the defence,
all of whom said that Murray was not there at the time,
being ill in bed, nd did not come till the affair wa
Remanded for further inquiry.

THAMES.
A LITTLE BIT OF CANNIBALISM.—Charles Ryan, a
seaman, belonging to an American ship, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting George Keighley, a
seaman, belonging to the English ship Chieftain.
The complainant said that a young woman, who had
been keeping company with the prisoner, charged him with
stealing three blankets, and he told the prisoner if he had
done so he ought to be ashamed of himself. The prisoner
immediately knocked him down by a blow with his fist Ho
got up and returned the compliment, and then they had a
regular fight. He was getting the best of the Yankee, and
had got his head in "chancery," when the prisoner managed
to throw him in the strugglel fell upon him, and bit his
lip severely.
The under lip of the prisoner was swollen, and much
inflamed.
The prisoner, in defence, said that the complainant in-
duced a girl he was staying with to strike him with a street
i
door key, and he was determined to " sarve " out thewman
who had done so.

Mr. Yardley--I will not allow you sailors to be fighting
and quarrelling in the public streets about your girls. I
fine you 10s. for the assault, and, in default of payment,
eight days imprisonment.
A PROTECTION ORDER FOR A DESERTED WIFE.—Mrs.
Elizabeth Watton, a respectable woman, residing at No. 5,
Upper Fenton-street, Commercial-road, applied to Mr.
Yardley for an order to protect her property, acquired since
the desertion of her husband, seven years ago.
Mrs. Watton said her husband abandoned her and her
infant child, now 10 years of age, in the year 1852 ; and she
had since obtained a scanty subsistence for herself and
child by needlework, and had conducted herself in a man-
ner to obtain the respect of her friends. A shoit time since
she received information of a bequest by a relative, and sho
wished to prevent her husband taking the money.
Mr. Yardley—Do you know where your husband is ?
Mrs. Watton—l do not, Sir. All I know about him is
that he has been living with another woman in a state of
adultery, and I have been informed that his concubine is
prep,mant, End is likely o
t give birth to a child, of which my
husband is father, very soon.
Mr. Yardley—You are entitled to the order.
Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, then made out the order of
protection, and handed :it to Mrs. Watton, who left the
court much relieved.

LETTERS, 4-c., 31US7' BB FULLY
ADDRESS ED.

Much difficulty is experienced in the delivery to their
right owners of letters imperfectladdressed; and post-
masters have frequently incurred unjust censure either for
unintentionally delivering such letters to wrong persons,
or for declining the responsibility of delivering, them at all
and sending them up to the Returned Letter Branch.
It often happens that there are several persons living in
the same town
whose surname and christian name or
initials, are exactly alike, and sometimes not only is the name
the same, but the trade or profession, and even the street.
The address of every letter ought to be full and distinct ;
but in the cases referred to it is obvious that the correct
delivery cannot be secured unless the name, calling, street,
intended,
numbei of the person for whom the letter is tended,
be all given.
An instructionhas been issued to all postmasters directing
them to deliver letters imperfectly addressed whenever they
have no reasonable doubt as to the persons for whom they
are intended, but in other cases to continue to send the
letter to London to be returned to the writer.
By Command of the Postmaster-General,
ROWLAND HILL. Secretary.
