THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1857.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S. BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Cample6ll, Jaatiois
Coleridge, Wightman, and Erle.)
• MTV; O. MINZIIB.

Mr. Montagne Smith, Q.C., moved in this case,
pursuant to leave, for a new rule, to show cause why the
verdict found for the plaintiff should not be set aside and
entered for the defendant, or that a new trial be had.
The action, which was tried before Lord Campbell at
the sittings after last term, was brought by the plaintiff',
the well known patent brandy manufacturer, for the in-
fringement of a patent obtained by him in 1843 for the
use and manufacture of dutch metal., lead and tin, by
means of compression into foil, for the purpose of manu-
facturing capsules, for casing bottles and other vessels.
The ground upon which the learned counsel moved
the rule was, that the invention of the plaintiff was not
new, but essentially the lame as that of one Dobbs, who
obtained a patent for the admixture of metal in 1804,
and, therefore, no novelty ; and also on the ground of
misdirection. At the trial it was shown that the plain-
tiff had never seen or knew of the invention or patent of
Dobbs.

The Court granted a rule to show CAW° on the points
of law, it being admitted that the verdict as to the in-
fringement wa■ correct.

LE NEVE V. THE VESTRY OE THE HAMLET OF MILE-END

OLD TOWN•

Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., with Mr. R. P. Collier,
M.P., moved for a rule visa, to met aside the ♦erdict
found for the plaintiff, and that it be entered for the
defendant.

The action, which was tried before Mr. Justice Wight.
man at the sittings after last term, was brought by tLe
plaintiff, the proprietor of the Bail Grey Tavern, Mile.
end-road, for trespass and the illegal pulling down of a
certain building or shed in front of the plaintiff's pre-
mises. The defendants justified their right to pull down
the building under tke 12011 sec. of the 18th and 19th
Vict., cap. 120—the Metropolitan Local Management
Act.

The Court grantad a rule to show CAUSE.
BLACKMORE V. THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY

COMPANY.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, on behalf
of herself and children, against the company, under
Lord Campbell's Act, for compensation for injuries sus.
tained by one John Blackmore, the husband of the
plaintiff, by which he was killed, owing to the alleged
negligence of the company, through the breaking of a
crane provided by the company for the unloading heavy
good!. The case was tried at Bristol, when Mr. Justice
Coleridge, who tried the case, directed a non-suit to be
returned, because deceased volunteered his P erviee 8, and
with leave to move to enter a verdict for 2501.
Mr. Phino, Q C., accordingly moved to-Jay, en the
ground that the company was liable.
Rule granted.

Mr. Burcham, charged with burglariously entering the
dwelling-house of Mrs. Isabella Gibbs, No. 2, Little
Ryder-street, St. James's, and stealing therefrom a
quantity of silver plate of the value of 121.
Police-constable 111 C stated that about a quarter
past five this morniag he was passing along Little Ryder-
street, and when he had got about ten yards from No.
2, he heard a noise as if some person was trying the lock
of the door. He at once turned back, and saw the
prisoner let himself out of No. 2, and run away in the
direction of Bennet-street. He ran after him, and
caught him in Bury-street, and collared him, and said be
wanted him to go back with him to Ryder-street. The
prisoner refused, and wanted to know what he wanted
with him, as he bad only just come from 'Westminster
Witness told him what he wanted him for, when he denied
even going into any house at all, or coming out of one.
He then took him back to No. 2, Ryder-street, and
knocked at the door. A woman opened the door, and
let him in, and in the passage, behind the door, he found
the basket of plate produced. On searching the prisoner
a latch-key and a pocket-book was found upon him, and
in the area of No. 10, close by where be stopped bim,
a roll of wax taper was found. The prisoner was then
conveyed to the station-house.
The prosecutrix stated that sbe retired to rest at
about half-past eleven last night, at which time all was
safe. At one o'clock, a gentleman, one of the lodgers
came in, and secured the door after bino. At five this
morning she was awoke by a man, and on waking up,
saw the bask of a man standing near a chest of drawers,
on which stood the basket of plate produced. She
immediately got up, and the man rushed out of the
room, and down stairs, out of the front door into the
street. She followed as quickly as she could, and called
out " Police." A constable stopped the prisoner and
brought him back. She was confident be was the
man, as she saw his face by the gas-lamp on the door.
The basket contained 22 silver spoons, 2 salt cellars, 2
cream ewers, and other articles of the value of 121.
The prisoner, who deaied the charge, was remanded
for a week.

" The success of the society's operations during the
preceding year, it will be seen ,has been exceeded by that
of the year just past; the new premiums in the former
having boon 19,1111. lls. 51, and in the latter
23,7481. 18e. 9d., making together 42,860/. 103. 2d. in
the two years, without including any single risk or pre-
mium, of great amount, or entering upon adnal-
gamatione with other societies. Within the same
period a liberal bonus upon policies of three or
more years' standing has been dech,red and paid ; and,
in addition to the discharge of claims from deaths,
of working expenses and collateral chat ges, the
general assets of the society have been augmented by be-
tween fifty and sixty thousand pounds, the bulk of which
has been invested in the names of the society's trustees in
the Public Funds. Influenced by such evidences of pro-
sperity, the directors of the 'Gresham' thus prominently
draw the attention of the general meeting an 1 the public
to the successful results that have been achieved.
"In order to transact, however, with the necessary
facility, a business so great and so rapidly progressing, it
became necessary, as stated in last year's report, either to
enlarge the society's present offices, by embracing the
option presented to the directors of including the adjoin-
ing premiers, or to erect a new building. Having decided
on the former course, as not involving a removal from the
original place of business, and as entailing expense in a less
onerous form than the immediate purchase of a new site and
erection of a new building might have necessitated the
directors have new to report that the enlargement of the
premises has been effected, without stopping the current
business even for a single day, and procured for the Gre-
sham, at a comparatively moderate cost, as commanding,
and commodious offices for the transaction of business as
any Assurance Society can desire. To show the general
effect to parties residing at a distance, and how readily the
enlargement has been male to tako the appearance of a
uniform building, the directors have caused a lithographic
sketch to be prepared, which they propose to issue with
the present report.
"An incidental feature of the year has been the prepa-
ration of the supplementary notices, now ready, of bonus
additions due upon policies upon which less than three an-
nual payments had been made at the declaration of 13)5,
the deed of settlement requiring a defined period to elapse
before the actual distribution upon such recent policies
could take place. The directors believe that the bonuses
upon such policies will be found to have been adjusted with
the same care and attention as upon policies of a's earlier
date.

" The proposals offered during the past year have in-
cluded, as heretofore, both first-class lives and those only
incurable at increased rates, or, as they have been termed,
Declined Lives.' The bulk of .the business, however,
actually transacted has been with the first-class, the total
number of proposals offered exceeding, it will be seen, by
no less than 522, the number finally completed.
" The accounts of the year have been already printed
an 1 circulatel, as required by the deed of settlement,
among the shareholders, and having been carefully com-
pared with the books and vouchers by the auditors, and re-
ported correct, are now submitted for approval and adop-
tion.

" Tho list of directors recommended by the board for
election, are the retiring directors, Messrs. Edward Solly,
William Tabor, and William Henry Thornthwaite, who
aro re-eligible, and again offer themselves for electi,n.
" The auditors, in conformity with the deed of settle-
ment, retire at the close of the year, but being re-eligible,
again offer themselves for election for the onsning year—
viz. Messrs. Ladhury and Whitelock, on behalf of the
shareholders ; and Messrs. George Lowe, F.R.S., and
William Webb Venn, for the policy-holders.
"The directors having thus recited the general nature of
the business, in connection with which the meeting has
been convened, have only to reiterate the resolve of the
board, to extend, by every means in their power, the gene-
ral business of the society, and to justify and invite, by
their zeal and earnestness in its affairs, a continuance on
the part of the public of that confidence with which the
Gresham' has throughout been so largely favoured."
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he need detain the meeting but for a very shoat time
while be performed so pleasing a duty. Like former
reports, the present one showed that prosperity con-
tinued to crown the efforts of the directors ; and, ai the
document entered so fully into the affairs of the com-
pany, ho felt there was really nothing for him to say
He would therefore simply move "that the report juEt
read be received and adopted."
Mr. LLOYD briefly seconded the motion.
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting,
and declared it carried unanimously.

Mr. TYLER moved the next resolution, viz.—" That
the retiring directors, Messrs. Edward Say, William
Tabor, and William Henry Thornthwaite, be re-elected.
The motion having been seconded, it was put to the
meeting by Mr. Beadnell, and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks on behalf of his
brother directors, and assured the meeting that their
utmost energy would always be devoted to further the
objects of the society.
Mr. Devise moved a vote of thanks to the auditors,
and that a sum of 50 guineas be added thereto.—Carried
unanimously.
Mr. TYLER moved the following resolution :—" That
G. H. Ladbury and William Whitsiock, E cis , be
elected auditors on the part of the shareholders, and
that George Lowe, F.R.S., and W;lliam Webb Venn,
be elected auditors on the part of the pulley-
hol d ers."

Mr. KING said it afforded him great pluasnra to second
the motion of Mr. Tyler.
The resolution was agreed to unanimou.3ly.
Thanks having been voted to the actuary (E. J.
Farren, Esq ), the solicitor (T. H. Devonshire, Esq.),
and the other officers of the society, the proceedings,
which had throughout been marked by the utmost cor-
diality, terminated.

HAVANNAH.—The steamer Cahawba arrived at New
Orleans on the 21st ult., with advices from liavanrah
to the 18th, and upwards of half a million dollars in
specie. Business at Havannah was active. Sugar had
declined ; stock in port 80,000 boxes. Another slaver
had been captured off th 3 coast, with 540 slaves.
