PROSPECTUS.
The London and Lancashire Insurance Company is estab-
lished for the purpose of extending to Liverpool, as well as to
London and elsewhere, that addition to the facilities for fire in-
surances which was recently demanded for the metropolis,and
which the extraordinary increase in the commerce of Liver-
pool constitutes an urgent necessity. In so doing the Direc-
tors propose to take advantage of the experience of existing
institutions, to introduce new principles of practical utility,
and, in addition, so to construct the institution as to afford
the greatest possible benefits to the shareholders, insurers,
and to the public generally, consistent with the well-being of
all concerned. The Directors do not profess to transact
business at lower rates than those ascertained by experience
to be remunerative ; but having thus provided for the security
and profitableness of the business transactions of the office,
they extend the mutual principle to fire insurance, and make
the holders of fire policies participators in the profits, after
appropriating a sufficient sum for a reserve fund. When the
certainty and extent of success that has attended every well-
managed fire office are considered, it would appear that the
present Is a period when new institutions, based on the experi-
ence of time and observation, should be promoted for and
supported by the public generally, for the purpose of pre-
venting monopoly on the one hand, and for the development
and progressiun of principle on the other.
In 1841 the total sum in Great Britain insured against fire
was seven hundred and thirty-eight millions sterling; in
1851 it had increased to eight hundred and fifty-eight millions
eight hundred thousand ; and in 1801 it is estimated to have
advanced to twelve hundred millions, or to one-third more
than the amount of the National Debt.
In the course of 20 years, therefore, the field occupied by
Fire Insurance widened at the rate of £23,000,000 per annum.
As an illustration of thi increase it may be mentioned
that, in London alone, the inhabited houses which in 1851
numbered 305,933, had in 1861 increased to 362,890. showing
an addition in ten years of no less than 56,957 houses, or an
average increase of 5,695 houses per annum.
But, although the value of property protected is of vast
amount, the value remaining unprotected far exceeds it; and
the difference between insured and uninsured is constantly
augmenting.
The enormous business of Fire Insurance in the United
Kingdom is confined to so few as fifty-two offices, of which
two are in Ireland, six in Scotland, twenty-one in English
country towns, and twenty-three in London.
The relative smallness of this number and the vast amount
of insurance committed to each, on the average not less in
value than £22,000,000, has led in some cases to excessive or
capricious charges, want of confidence, and to a general les-
sening of the practice of insurance.
Considerations of this description, in connection with the
promised support of a very large number of the most influen-
tial merchants in London and Liverpool, have led to the for-
mation of the " London and Lancashire Fire Insurance
Company."
Application for shares in the form annexed, may be
made to A. 11. Gunn, Esq., 79, Lombard-street, Lon-
don, and 21, Water-street, Liverpool ; to the Secretary,
H. E. Warren, Esq. ; or to the Brokers, George Bur-
nand, Esq., 60, Lombard-street, Messrs. Froom Brothers,
Change-alley, Cornhill, London, and Messrs. Thos. Tinley
and Sons, Orange-court, Liverpool ; but no
application will
be taken into consideration unless a deposit o‘f £l. pershare
be paid into the Company's bankers, to bein
allowed
pay-
ment
of the first call, or returned in the event of shares
not being allotted.

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By P. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of, his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and...confidently recommend as a valuab_
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

tered into a statement of the constant misconduct of
the deceased during all the time he was on board
the vessel, and said he was continually shamming
illness, and upon one occasion threatened his life.
Baron Martin said he thought it was very pro-
bable that what the prisoner had stated about the
deceased was true, but that was no justification for
his using violence towards him. He believed at the
same time that when he inflicted the beating upon
him he had not the slightest intention of doing him
any serious injury, and if the jury had acquitted
him of the charge of manslaughter he should have
directed an indictment to be preferred against him
for an assault, as in his opinion an aggravated as-
sault was the true character of his offence, and he
should inflict a punishment as though he had been
convicted of it. He then sentenced the prisoner to
nine months' hard labour.

from sitting until a late hour of the evening,
some few days previous to the 20th July last the
prisoner Frederick Clift applied to Mr. Fuller, a
builder, and took of him a house, 2, Lansdowne-
villas, Albert-road, Peckham, at a rental of £3O per
annum. The house had a stable attached to it, which
the prisoner Frederick said he especially required
to put his horse and trap in. This stable, having
been added by a previous tenant to the house after
it was built, had no communication with the house,
and could only be entered from the garden at the
rear of the premises. Tho prisoner took possession,
but did not make use of the stable for the purpose

prisoners went together to the offices of the Globe
Insurance Company, and the prisoner Fred. Clift,
who described himself as a quill merchant, inti-
mated to the clerk that he was desirous of effecting
an insurance, in the first place on his stock to the
amount of £2,500, and on his household furniture to
the amount of £3OO. He was asked if he had ever

added that a fire which had recently taken place at
Cotton's-wharf, near London-bridge, made people
frightened, as he knew a person who had lost con-
siderably from not having his property there pro-
perly insured. He then supplied the clerk with the
particulars, and gave the address of his residence
and premises, and it appeared that in the house
adjoining that occupied by the prisoner Frederick,
and on which he sought to effect a policy, there re-
sided another clerk of the company, a gentleman of
the name of Collis, and to whom the company en-

ing of the 2d August a fire broke out on the premises
thus insured; but in the interval it has since trans-
pired that the prisoners had removed at different
times sacks containing quills. Shortly before the
fire broke out the wife of the prisoner Frederick
Clift was seen by some neighbours quitting the
house with her child in a perambulator, and, in
answer to some questions put to her at the time
she said the child had met with an accident by fall-
ing into a tub of water, and that she was going to
take it to a medical gentleman, whose name she
gave, and whose residence was about two miles from
Lansdowne-villas. Nothing more was seen of her
until 12 o'clock at night. About 9 o'clock the same
evening the prisoner George Clift was seen at a public
house, the Nunhead Tavern, at Nunhead-green, by
a brother of Mr. Collis (whose name has already
been mentioned in connexion with the insurance),
who had gone there for the supper beer. The pri-
soner, George Clift,-after partaking of some brandy,
left the tavern, and went in the direction of the
house that was destroyed, and in a few minutes after-
wards, as a police-constable of the name of Cox, was
on duty in a place called Nunhead-passage, which
runs into the main road, by the side of Lansdowne-
villas, he saw a man resembling the prisoner George
Clift come through a gap in the hedge from the direc-
tion of a piece of ground at the back of the house in
question. He was walking sharply, and was seen by
other persons besides the constable, and no one else
was in the lane at the time. As he was passing
along some person from one of the gardens
he passed called out " Hallo," on which the man
the policeman had seen quickened his pace, and on
coming into the road was observed by the son of a
Mr. Goodwin, grocer of Nunhead-lane, to emerge
from the passage and cross the road. That man
was clearly identified to be the prisoner George by
young Goodwin, who had known him for some time,
and who had a full view of him close to a bright
gas lamp. By this time it was seen that the stable
was on fire, and on the alarm being given the pot
boy at the Nunhead Tavern, thinking there was a
horse in danger, rushed down to the spot, and on re-
moving some tiles from the roof was enabled to look
in, when he saw that there was no horse there, that
the place instead of being full of goods was compa-
ratively empty, and that the stable was on fire in
two places. The engines did not arrive until the
house and premises were entirely gutted. Nothing
was seen of the prisoners during the remainder of
that night, and on an examination that was sub-
sequently made by the firemen, it was ascertained
beyond all doubt that the place had been set fire to
in two places, and it was also discovered that a door
had been broken through, from a part of a pantry
under the staircase, by which a communication had
been obtained to the stables, and that it was at this
point that the fire had begun. The extent of the
fire in the stable or warehouse had never exceeded
three feet from the floor, and a great number of
bundles of quills of the commonest and least valu-
able description were found, though they had been
described in the policy as being of the best quality.
A larger number of swan quills than was ever known
to be held by one merchant was described in the
policy as being on the premises, but of them not the
slightest trace was discovered, though it transpired
in the course of the trial that quills and feathers are
most difficult of destruction • indeed, a fire had never
been known at which a bed was entirely destroyed.
In the dwelling house there was no trace of any
furniture or bedding, but a quantity of flocks was
found. The prisoner Frederick subsequently put in
a claim, setting forth his losses at £4,000, and on
being questioned as to the circumstances of the fire,
he stated that he could not account for it ; that he
had been since the afternoon at Waltham, and that
he left there by the ten o'clock train, and arrived at
Peckham at half-past 11 o'clock, when all was over.
The claim was refused, and the prisoners given into
custody.
Mr. C. Smith addressed the jury at considerable
length on behalf of the prisoner George Clift, con-
tending that the evidence on which it was attempted
to prove he was near the spot on the night of the
Are was too uncertain and unsatisfactory for the
jury to act upon.
Mr. Sleigh made an energetic appeal to the jury
on behalf of the prisoner Frederick Clift, submit-
ting-that there was no evidence to connect him with
the fire at the time of the outbreak.
No witnesses were called on the part of either of
the prisoners.
Mr. Baron Wilde briefly went through the lead-
ing facts of the case, pointing out how they bore
upon each of the prisoners.
The jury then retired, and after an absence of a
quarter of an hour returned into court with Et ver-
dict of guilty against both prisoners, who were at
once called up for judgment.
The prisoner Frederick Clift cast up his eyes and
and stretched forth his hands in a very impressive
manner, declared that he was innocent, that Christ
and His angels had got their eyes upon him, and
when he was at the Throne of Grace then would
his innocence be made known. This was delica_r,Fed
with an air of great apparent devoutness.

Mr. Baron Wilde, in passing sentence, said they
had both been convicted of a most serious offence,
one for which a few years back their Jives would
have paid the forfeit. Happily the law was now
morenaereiful. Tuey had:been found
guilty, most
properly he would say, of one of the most heinous
offences that could be committed in a civilised
community._ By their act they had jeopaaak,€d the
lives and property of others for mere filthy gain,
and no ono who had heard the case could have the
slightest doubt of their guilt. The jury had recom-
mended them to mercy on account of their respec-
tability and youth, but against that the court could
not but consitler that their education and position
placed them above those who had not enjoyed
similar advantages. lie therefore thought, not-
withstanding the recommendation of the jury, that
public justice demanded that he should not pass a
less sentence than he now pronounced, namely,
that they each be kept in penal servitude for the
term of ten years.

FOUIt,TII COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Adolphe Scheerle, a German. was indicted for
stealing 136 models and a quantity of tools, the
property of Richard Matthay, his master.
Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Rowden prosecuted ; and the
prisoner was defended by Mr. Best and Mr. Pater.
The facts of the case were as follows :—The pri-
soner had been for some considerable time in the
service of the prosecutor, and on the 13th October
he left the employment without giving any notice,
and entered the service of another jeweller in the
same street. The prisoner, on being taken into
custody, said that four or five of the models found
upon him were given him by the prosecutor, and
that the remainder were his own property.
""In his cross-examination the prosecutor admitted
that on the same day that he missed the models ho
asked the prisoner to dinner.
Mr. Best addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
commented strongly on the conduct of the prose-
cutor, contending that the charge was trumped up
against the prisoner because he had:left the pro-
secutor to go into the service of a rival tradesman
in the same trade.

Several witnesses were called and gave the pri-
soner an excellent character; and after a summing
up by the Common Sergeant, the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.
Wm Goodson, a respectable-looking man, a
constable 336 A, of the metropolitan police, surren-
dered to take his trial on an indictment charging
him with perjury.
It will be recollected that the defendant charged
two respectable lads, named Price and Davidson,
apprentices of an engineer, with attempting to pick
pockets on the night of Saturday, the ith Septem-
ber last. It appeared that the defendant had been
mistaken in the lads, who were discharged by the
magistrate, and the present indictment preferred
against the defendant.
The Common Sergeant having partly heard the
case, suggested that it should be stopped, as it was
evident he was mistaken in the boys.
By his lordship's direction the jury acquitted the
1 defendant.

There was another indictment against the defen-
dant for assaulting the two boys by striking them
with a stick.

This, on 'behalf of the defendant, was denied,
and proved, upon which
The Common Sergeant said he believed it was a
mistake about the use of the stick, but the defendant
had committed an assault in law by laying his
hand ex the boys to take them into custody. Ho
therefore suggested that he should plead guilty.
The defendant acquiesced, and having pleaded
guilty of a common assault, was sentenced to pay a
fine of ls. to the Queen and then be discharged,
the Common Sergeant remarking that the whole
affair arose out of a mistake, and that all parties
left the court without a stain upon their cha-
racters.

Edmund Wm. Bullen, the Post-office letter car-
rier, who pleaded guilty to stealing a post letter
containing £253 10s., and in whose possession no
less than 1,400 undelivered letters were found, was
brought up for judgment, and sentenced to six
years' penal servitude.
James Gillman, who had been convicted on two
indictments charging him with uttering forged
Post-office orders, was brought up and sentenced
to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.
