THE strN, LONDON, 'WEDNESDAY EtrEMING, JULY 3; - 1861.

LAW INT.ELLIGE.NCE—(7his Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE NICHOLSON AND STONE.

His Honour was the only sitting Commissioner, and was
occupied the whole of the morning in hearing a disputed
claim made against the estate by Messrs. Sherrington and
Co., of Lyons, for a sum of £9,168. The case was dis-
puted on behalf of the assignees.
The bankrupts had carried on business in a very exten-
sive scale, as Nicholson and Stone, and:formerly Nicholson,
Stone, and Pascal, merchants, Cannon-street. Mr. Pascal
having retired, the business was continued by the bank-
rupts, and the question was whether one proof ought to be
admitted against the estate of the two, and the result will
materially affect the dividend.
The case was proceeding.

Th 3 examination meeting was adjourned, no accounts
having been filed, but are in course of preparation by Mr.
J. G. Bland, Basinghall-street, who status the debts about
£90,000, assets uncertain.

SIIERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

LIIV AND EQUITY-NOVEL DECISION.-11EALEY V. WARR.
This was an action to recover £lO Bs. for one year's
clothing and food of an apprentice, defendant being the

Mr. Buchanan, for tho plaintiff, produced the indentures
signed and sealed, and in them was a covenant that de-
fendant should clothe and feed the boy. The lad was ap-
prenticed in 1859, and the father had fed, and lodged, and
clothed him ever since; but nothing had been claimed for
the first year, the present action being for the second.
Defendant said he had advertised for an apprentice, and
told plaintiff's father tha the premium was £5O indoor and
£25 out-door. Mr. Healey said he was short of money, and
defendant offered to take £l5. To benefit the lad defendant
signed and sealed with him at Guildhall, paying £3 for his
freedom, so that in truth all the premium defendant got
was £l2. As to the covenant in the indentures, that was
to have been struck out.

His Honour—That is an equitable defence, and this is
not a court of equity. I will nonsuit plaintiff, who can then
try his hand in the super for court, where defendant can
plead his equitable defence.
Mr. Buchanan—Surely your honour will not do that in
the face of a document under seal.

His Honour was of opinion it would be the best plan, and
nonsuited plaintiff.

SECONDARIES COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and Jury.)

MODERN MONEY LENDING. - SCANDALOUS CASE.

DAMAGES £250.-BUTLER V. GEARNS AND TARRANT.

This was awL it of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at
£5OO, sustained through the illegal seizure of household
furniture by defendants, the auctioneers and money lenders
of Bucklersbury, judgment being suffered to go by default.
Mr. Henry James, for the plaintiff, said this was one of
the most outrageous cases ever brought under the notice of
a jury. The plaintiff had a house r.t Greenhithe in the
early part of the present year, and required a loan of £2OO
upon his household furniture. Application was made
to the defendants, and a loan granted for a twelve-
month upon a bill of sale, interest at the rate of 2i per cent.
per month being charged. At the end of a certain period,
however, defendants suddenly claimed £229, and put a man
in possession for eight days, and the money was ultimately
paid, under protest. Now plaintiff being well known at
Greenhithe, suffered considerable annoyance, and indeed
was much distressed. He (Mr. James) asked for heavy
damages, as defendants' conduct was most unjustifiable.
Mr. Butler was called, and said that all he received out of
the £2OO was £l5B. Defendants charged law expenses (bill
of sale), £l5 19s. for drawing up the bill of sale—(sensto.
tion)—£ls commission, and £lO three months' interest in
advance. (Sensation.) In addition to this defendants'
claimed at the expiration of threo months £229 18s. 4d. A
man was in possession for eight days.
Mr. Denny, plaintiff's attorney, proved paying the money
claimed (L 229 18s. 4d.), under protest, and that defendants
refused to give a receipt for it. (Laughter.)

Mrs. Butler said she was in ill-health when Mr. Tarrant
made the seizure. She told him the loan was for twelve,
but Tarrant said three months.

The learned Secondary said—This was a very extraor-
dinary case, and defendants were not here to answer it.
Plaintiff was clearly entitled to have the £229 back, it hav-
ing been wrongfully demanded, and, in addition, to every-
thing the jury could give him in the shape of damages.
The jury, after a short deliberation, found for plaintiff for
the £229, and, in addition, damages £250 for the illegal
seizure.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EMILEZZLEISENT BY AN APPRENTICE.—James Edmund
Davies, apprentice to Mr. James Barton, manufacturing
ironmonger, of 370, Oxford-street, was charged before
Mr. D'Eyncourt with embezzling various sums of money
received for his master, in all about £lOO.
Sergeant Joy asked for a remand, which was granted.

ROBBERY AT ST. DIARY'S MISSION SCHOOL.—William
Martin, a young man, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt
with stealing a ck*k from St. Mary's Mission school
Pricces- row, Newport-market.

Mr, G. A. Lloyd, the schoolmaster, said that yesterday
morning about 11 o'clock he saw the prisoner and a taller
man surveying the outside of the school and looking in al
the door where the contribution box hung. At 10 o'clock
last night, a lad came and gave him some information at
his house, and on his proceeding to the schoolroom h •
found the clock was taken away and the contribution box
had been wrenched off with great violence. He did not
know what the box contained, as it had been emptied of its
contents on Sunday last. The property was vested in Mr.
George Doughty and he believed the Rev. Mr. Chambers, the
incumbent. He believed the prisoner must have got through
the fanlight by cutting the rope attached to it, and then
sliding down a pillar and getting out at the back.
A lad named Thomas Lewis proved seeing the prisoner
and two others climbing on one anothyr's backs against the
school, and seeing one of them pull out a knife as if to cut
the rope. He went and informed Mr. Lloyd, and after-
wards saw the three with two parcels like the clock and
box tied up in handkerchiefs.

Inspector Holden asked for a remand. The prisoner
last week was brought before Mr. Woolrych for being found
down an area, and discharged.

Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner.

HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The deaths from all causes registered in London
in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,092.
The average number obtained from the returns of
corresponding weeks in 10 previous years 1851 60,
and corrected for increase of population, is 1,220 ; ;
and it appears that the deaths in last week were
less by 128 than they would have been if the aver-
age rate of mortality for the last week of June had
prevailed.
The deaths were to the births returned in the
same time in the proportion nearly of 3 to 5.
The total number of cases in which pulmonary
complaints, exclusive of phthisis, were fatal, was
115, while the corrected average for corresponding
weeks is 129. Zymotic diseases were fatal in 260
cases, against an average of 276. Of those there
were 75 of whooping-cough, 1 of small-pox 20 of
measles, 27 of scarlatina, 16 of diphtheria, of which
last 4 occurred in the sub-district of Old-street, St.
Luke's. Ten children died from whooping-cough
in Lambeth ; 6 in Newington. Diarrhea begins
to exhibit, but in a slight degree, the increase usual
in the warm months. In the preceding two weeks
it was returned in 17 and 26 cases, last week in 32.
The wife of a journeyman tailor, aged 25 years,
died at 75, Berwick-street, of cholera, after seven
hours' illness. The daughter of a journeyman
tailor, aged eight months, died at 2, Queen's Head •
lane, Islington, of " choleraic diarrhoea," atter 15
hours' illness ; and the daughter of a soldier, aged
six months, at 2, Violet-place, Newington, of
" English cholera." Two children of a carpenter
died at 17, White Hart-street, Kennington, of
malignant sore throat," in a house the drainage of
which is reported by the medical attendant as im-
perfect.
Last week the births of 963 boys and 941 girls,
in all 1,904 children, were registered in London.
In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1851-
60 the average number was 1,662.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29 609 in.
The readings fell to 29.48 in. on Wednesday, and
rose to 29.74 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature
of the air in the week was 60.1 deg, which is o'7
deg below the average of the same week in 43 years
(as- determined by Mr. Glaisher). The thermome-
ter in the shade fell to 47.7 deg on Thursday, and
rose to 77 deg on the same day. The range of
temperature on that day, and also the extreme
range of the week was therefore 29.3 deg. The
mean daily range was 30 3 deg. The highest
temperature in the sun was 120 deg. on Satur-
day. The mean temperature of the water of the
Thames was 66 deg. The difference between the
mean dew-point temperature and air temperature
was 6 deg. The mean degree of humidity in the air
was 82, complete saturation being represented by
100. The wind was in the south-west till Thurs-
day; on Saturday, when the mean dryness was 10.8
deg, the wind was in the north-west and north.
Rain, more or less, was measured on every day
except FrEay, generally in small quantities ; the
whole amount was 0.63 in. Thunder was heard on
Sunday, and also on Thursday, accompanied by
vivid lightning;

THE COMET.--Last night the eolnet was visible
in the north-west hori4on soon after nine o'clock. Not-
withstanding the cloudy state of the atmosphere, it could,
be seen occasionally shining with great igillipey and tra-
velling with great rapidity, so much so that it could be seen
with the naked eye.
