AND OTHERS.

This morning was appointed for hearing the argue
meats of counsel relative to the rule obtained by the
above defendants against the Attorney-General, for par-
ticulars relied on to prove the charges of conspiracy and
fraud preferred against them.
The Court was densely crowded. Mr. Dallas, the
American Minister, was accommodated with a seat on
the bench.

Sir F, Thehiger, Mr. Serpant Ballantine, Mr, Wolaby,

and Mr. H. Browne were counsel for the Crown. S:1
F. Kelly, Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Bovine, Q.C.,
and about a dozen other learned gentlemen appeare/:
on the part of tie defendants.

Sir F. Thesiger said he appeared to show cause
against several rules that had been obtained against the
defendants in this court, but before doing so he explained
the absence of the Solicitor-Generalin the case, that it
might not be considered he was neglecting hie duties.
During the time of the vacancy of the office he (Sir F.
Thesiger) was applied to by the Government to prose-
cute, to which he consented, and he assumed the respon-
sibility of advising the proceedings. When the karnc
Solicitor-General received his appointment, bp
found him (Sir F. Tneeiger) in his present po-
sition, and he very handsomely declined to in-
terfere. The learned counsel then proceeded to show
cause against 15 rules that had been obtained by the de-
fendant, which might be consolidated and regarded as one
for the purpose of their lordships' consideration. They,
however, varied in tome respects, and it was necessary
therefore to distinguish between them. Four of the rules
were obtained on behalf of Mr. Stapleton, M.P., Mr.
Kennedy, Mr. Cameron, and Mr. M'Leod, and were
very large indeed, requiring the prosecution to supply
them is writing with particulars of the specific offences
intended to be charged against them under each of these
counts ; then there were also four rules to show cause
why they should not be furnished with particulars, in
writing, of the specific statements of the charges to be
relied on under the 2d, 4th, 6th, 3th, 9th, 10th, and
11th counts, and one confining the particulars to what
was called the even counts, including the 12th count, par-
ticulars of which had been ordered by Mr. Justice
Crompton. The learned counsel then proceeded to
argue that the counts in the indictment
were sufficiently explicit, and it was for
the Court to say whether or no the counts were of a
sufficiently explicit character to give the defendants a
adequate knowledge of the offences they would have
to answer on the day of trial.

After a lengtkened argument in which Mr. Sergeant
Baliantine, Mr. 11. Brown, S r Fitzroy Kelly, Mr.
Sergeant Shee, and Mr. Edwin James took part,
the counsel for the prosecution, on the intima-
tion of the Court, consented to abandon the
general counts in the indictment, and to furnish the
defendants with the particulars of the overt acts to be
relied on at the trial, and not to give evidence on any
other of which notice had not been given.

Sir F. Kelly, on the part of Mr. Stapleton, applied
for additional particulars with reference to the balance-
sheet stated to be falsified, particularly with reference
to an item of 810,2041. o.=. id. for convertible securities,
&c., &c., without which he would be unable to answer
the charge.

A similar application far particulars was made en the
part of Mr. Cameron by Mr. Digby Seymour.
The Court were unanimously of opinion that the fur-
nishing of particulars should be left to the discretion of
the prosecution, observing that the accounts referred to
had been supplied by the defendants. Application re-
fused.

Further proceedings were stayed till Wednesday,
when the particulars in reference to the indictments are
to be furnished, that the trial might take place at the
after term of the sittings at Guildhall,

MARY LEB ONE RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of the ratepayers of Marylebone, members
and friends of the Parochial Association of No. 5, or
Bryanston Ward, took place on Thursday evening, at
Mr. Podm,re's, the Sayrnour Arms, Seymour-place,
Bryanston-square, for the purpose of celebrating and
consolidating local self-government principles in the
representation of the ward in the vestry of St. Maryle•
bone.

Mr. Thos. Potter, the old and long-tried Marylebone
reformer, presided, and Mr. Edmunds occupied the vice-
chair. Be was supported by Mr. Churchwarden Soden,
Charles Carr, Brooks, Houghton, Cooke, Kitchen,
Cock, Major Davis, Mr. D'lffanger, sen., and other re-
presentatives of the ward and influential ratepayers.
The Csainmear, in proposing the toast of the evening,
dwelt at some length on the struggles which the trades-
men of Marylebone had to get rid of the old selects and
to secure the principles of boa! government, as esta-
blished by Hobhouse's Act. (Hear.) The ward system
of the Metropolis Act bad dissevered that powerful asso-
ciation for public objects, which brmerly existed ; hut
at the same time he hoped that they should all unite iv-
one man to send such men only into the vestry of
Marylebone as would maintain inviolate the constite
tional principle of the right of Englishmen to manage
their own affairs.

Mr. D'IFFINGER, sen., responded for the vestry of
Marylebone.
Mr. CARR proposed " The Vice-Chairman," and
" The Health of the Chairman."
" Mr. Churchwarden Soden," " The Public Press,"
and other toasts having been given, the proceedings ter-
minated.
