LAW INTELLIGENCE.—;This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

;sittings in Banco before 14,,rd Campbell, Justices Cole-
ridge and Wightn3an.)

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V.

ESDAILE AND FIVE OTHERS.

Mr. Edwin James, Q C , appli,d this morning for a
rule calling upon the Attorney-General to show cause
why he should not deliver to the defendants particulars
of the specific nature of the charges intended to be relied
on on the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth counts
of the information. There were three informations—
one against Eadaile and others, the second against
Brown and others, and the third against Stapleton and
others, filed by the Attorney-General, alleging general
misconduct in the management of the Royal British Bank,
and in the twelfth count the defendants were charged
generally with conspiracy ; and he should mention that
a similar application as that he was then making had
been made to Mr. Justice Crompton, at chambers, who
had had made an order for the delivery of particulars on
the twelfth count, but declined to do so to the other
counts. The counts upon which he did not apply con-
tained specified charges ; but those counts were followed
by counts containing general charges only, and be might
draw their lordships attention to the nature of those
counts. The defendants were there charged with being
evil-disposed persons, and with having published a
certain statement to the shareholders with intent to
defraud. That was too general a charge, and the defen-
dants were entitled to particulars of the particular
offence, unless they were to understand that the same
offence and the same evidence was to be relied upon as
that contained in the specific charges, in order that
that they might not be called on to answer another

charge.
Lord Campbell said that no doubt the accused are
entitled to know with what they are charged, and if the
count was too general.

Mr. Ed win James said it bad been so laid down by
Lord Denman.

After some further remarks the court granted the
rule.

BAIL COUBT.
(Before Mr. Justice Erie and a Common Jury.)

AUSTIN V. BRIDGET.-BREACH OF PROMISE OE MARRIAGE.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a young
woman about 24 years of age, against the defendant, a
keeper of saw mills, near Cockle-point, Rotherhite, for
a breach of promise of marriage. It appeared from the
evidence of the plaintiff that she lived in the de-
fendant's service as his servant, and whilst there
she became in the family-way by him. She
was taken to his father's house by the defendant in his
carriage, after the ehiid's birth, and remained there for
some time, the defendant paying the expenses, and visit-
ing her often, telling her cousin that as soon as his eldest
son was married he would make " Polly his wife." After
his son's marriage he refused to keep his premise, alleging
that were he to do so before his youngest son was
off his hands, there would be " hell upon earth."
The child was christened in the defendant's
name, and it died shortly after, when the defendant paid
the funeral expenses. The plaintiff was afterwards
obliged again to enter service. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, 501.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY GENTLEMAN'S SERVANTS.

—John Letford, footman, and Philip Pearce, coachman,
in the service ofGeneral Sir Archibald Maclaine, G.C.8.,
13, Cumberland-street, Hyde-park, were charged before
Mr. Bingham with violently assaulting and resisting the
police while in the execution of their duty,
Police Constable 68 0 stated that last night, about 11
o'clock, he was on duty near the Haymarket Theatre,
in plain clothes, when he saw the prisoner Pearce driv-
ing a pair of horses attached to a gentleman's carriage.
Witness, whe was leaning against a post, all at owe re•
ceived a smart cut across his ear from Pearce, and on
remonstrating with the prisoner to be more careful,
or be would cut some one's eye out, the latter said he'd
be d—d if he would not cut his b--- head off. He requested
the prisoner to go on quietly, but, instead of doing so, he
became more abusive, and the prisoner Letford then
took his part, and threatened to knock his (witness e) head
off. While be was talking to Letford, Pearce again
struck bim with his whip across the head and shoulders.
Au attendant at the theatre then came up and begged
of them to deist, and told him the consequence of such
conduct. Witness al-'o told them who and what he was,
but this only seemed to make them more violent and
abusive. Witness then went to name it to the prisoner's
master, who was about entering the carriage, but as so .n
as the gentleman got in, the prisoner Pearce drove off
as fast as he could, violently whipping his horses at
the time. Witness ran after the carriage, and as
soon as he came up with it, the prisoner shook his
fist in his face and struck him over the shoulders with
his whip. Pearce then lashed on his horses, and witness
having procured assistance, succeeded in stopping the
carriage and removing Pearce from the driving-box.
While he was conveying Pearce to the station, Letford
came up and attempted to rescue him from custody. In
doing so Buuce 88 C, was struck several times. Both
of the prisoners were drunk.

This the prisoners denied, and said they never struck
the constable at all.

Inspector Lester said the prisoners were decidedly
drunk.

Mr. Bingham said it was not to be tolerated that a
couple of well fed menials should resist the police, as
they had done, and he should teach them to know better
for the future by committing them to prison for 14 days.

Mr. Arnold—Consider the matter, and give her into
