SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS-CAUTION TO TRADES-

MEN-HENDERS V. HANCE.

This was an action to recover a sum for clothes supplied
and clothes repaired in 1854.
Mr. Hudson, of Fenchurch- street-buildings, appeared for
the defendant to support a plea of the statute of limitations.
Plaintiff said he had had repeated promises from defen-
dant to pay ; and in May, 1855, defendant paid 7s. 6d..
which plaintiff entered in his book, and in February, 1857,
defendant paid ss. Both these sums were entered in the
book (produced) at the time they were paid.
Mr. Hudson, looking at the book—Do you mean to swear
that these entries were made at the time of the alleged pay-
ment ?
Plaintiff—l do.

Mr. Hudson then called defendant, and that person denied
making the payments. Plaintiff had detained a great-
coat.

Plaintiff denied this.

His Honour, looking at the book, was of opiaion that the
entries were made at the same time, and therefore plaintiff
had not answered the plea put in.
Mr. Hudson applied for costs.
His Honour thought it was hardly a fair plea against a
tradesman.

Mr. Hudson—Had plaintiff acted fairly with us, we
should not have made it.

His Honour—Well, neither plaintiff or defendant are
Al.

Mr. Hudson—That is hardly a fair remark, after your
Honour has declared you do not believe plaintiff.
The matter then dropped.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CAR CASE.—Mrs. Elizabeth Warbur-
ton, a well-dressed female, who gave the address, 128,
Cheapside, was charged before Mr. Yardley, on a warrant,
for not appearing to a summons for refusing to pay her cab
fare.

Mr. Yardley—Why do you not pay your cab fare and
obey the summons, prisoner ? for that I must call you.
Prisoner—l do not know.

Joseph Atkins, cab driver, badge 5,459, sal—l took the
lady up in Leicester-square on the 10th of July, and took
her/to several places in the City—His Lordship's Larder,
the City Bank, &C.—and she kept me employed five hours.
I have heard she has plenty of money, but she will not
settle with me, and has treated others in the same way. My
fare is 10s. She told me to call the next day, and I went
into the City four times after my fare, but could not find
her. I then took out a summons, and have been to the
court four times. Last night, happening to see her in a
cab at His Lordship's Larder, I told the cabman who she
was, that summonses and a warrant were out against her,
that he would never get his money, and that he had better
drive her to the station, and he did so. Prisoner had been
going on the same game for a fortnight, but had plenty of
money.

Prisoner—l contradict all that has been said.
Atkins—l had to pay Cs, for summonses and warrant.
I have been here four times altogether. I shall be out of
pocket even if I get my fare.
Mr. Yardley—You will have to pay 10s. fare, and 13s. 6d
costs. What have you to say ?
Prisoner—Nothing.
Shillingford, the warrant officer, said, I served the pre-
vious summons on her in a eab.
Atkins—She's got plenty of money, your worship.
Shillingford—The cabman whom she employed yesterday
has not been paid.

Mr. Yardley—l can't order him to be paid, but he can
have a summons.

Second Cabman--It's hard lines, your worship. I may
be summoned by my master, and be sent to prison.
Mr. Yardley—l can only deal with the case according to
law, man. Prisoner, you must pay 235. 6d., or go to pri-
son for 14 days.

The second cabman had a summons, which was at once
served on the prisoner, and it was stated that other cabmen
have summonses against her.

THAMES.

CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST THE BAND-MASTER OF
A RIFLE CORPS.—Alexander Elliott, a tall young man,
Essex Rifles, was brought
b ed with obtaining a cornet, six
flutes,
eoerbse Mr. v
,anad-m
ndlair
ostothoecrryocifnh:the 7th
instruments,
maregnts,
by means of a false and
fraudulent pretence, of Mr. T. R. Willis, musical instru-
ment maker, of 29, Minories.

Mr. Woolrych asked the prisoner why he gave the name
of 'William M‘Farlane last night ?

The prisoner—That is the mute of my second father.
Mr. Willis, jun., the prosecutor, said that the prisoner
was recommended by him to the 7th Essex Rifles as band-
master, in May last, and he sent him down to Rochford,
where he was engaged as band corporal by Mr. Blanks on
behalf of the regiment. The prisoner called upon him
several times after he was appointed upon business. On
the 29th of July the prisoner called upon him and said he
wanted a cornet, six flutes, and another instrument for the
band of the 7th Essex Rifles. He laboured under the im-
pression that the prisoner was still officiating as band-
master, and delivered the instruments to him- He after-
wards ascertained that the prisoner had been discharged
from the regiment three days before he callled upon him,
and that he was not authorised by Mr. Blank s or any other
person to obtain the instruments.
Evidence was then given that the prison( n. had pawned
the instruments, and had sold the duplicates relating to them
to Mr. Smith, a publican, in the Broadway, 'Westminster.
Remanded for a week.

At the meeting yesterday of the Atlantic Royal
Mail Steam Navigation Company the directors' re. port was
adopted. It was resolved to issue shares or stock for in-
creasing the nominal capital from £500,000 to X 1,100,000.
BRITISH SUBJECTS AT NEW ORLEA.NS.— A cor-
respondence between Mr. Mure, British consul at New
Orleans, and Colonel Manning, aide-de-camp to the gover-
nor of Louisiana, relating to the illegal enlist went of Bri-
tish subjects by the Confederate recruiting par ties has been
published. A number of cases in which British subjects
bad been improperly seized are mentioned by the consul
and acknowledged on behalf of the Confederate G yverament.
Efforts appear to have been made, however, to p nocure the
immediate release of such persons when their oases were
made known.
