LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1850,

Db.patch about 19 years pr-viously, and the gene:al
drift of it wee a strong axpression of epit.ion On
peculiarity of a joutmil to_ g made liable for 5001.
d2msg-s for 'opinion, expias,sii et a period so far la,a,k,
ann which, it was c, wended, aptl ed only to the p,
cbarac(er us an inrividual occupying one of the high( -r
s:ations in suoiiit3 ; and it ripptired ttia. the sviit,es
permed the article under tl.e impression that the ver-
dict was an unjust one, and that the detstidant would be
able to set it aside by application to the Court ab-ve.
Ire Learned Judge then wens, through tie various pas-
sages in the libel, down to the assertion that the public
mind of England had not hesitated as to the calendar
upon which should be inscribed the name of the Duke of
Brunswick—whether among the" political victims or poli-
tical criminals," and exprebsed an opinion that thus far the
libel imiuted or said nothing beyond what had re fereice to
solely his politic,l charac•fr. But the plaintiff com-
, plsined chisfi,t of the foil, wing beat, rice, at the conclu-
sion tithe article: U: less he ni,y be solicitous to pro-
' (iced as upon a rather profit abie speculation in his
attecks upon the liberty of journalism, we shouA
suggest to the ax-Duke of Brunswick the propriety
of withdrawing into his own natural and sinister ob-
scurity." The word natural was printed in italics,
and the Duke construed the sentence into an imputation
that he had been guilty of dr, adfut and unnatural crimes;
but taking the genera! meaning and sound of the words,
they were certainly tar from warranting such a con-
s ..uction, unless a great deal could be pre-
supposed. The jury would, however, have to con-
sidi r the meaning of the words, and if they
thought such an imputation was intended to be thrown
out, of course the libel would be a very aggravated one,
and would entitle the plaintiff to their verdict; but
should they entertain a contrary opinion, and think that
aggravated species of guilt had not been proved, then the
di fendant ought not to suffer for the alleged libel. His
Lordship directed them, in conclusion, to take the
newspaper into their bands, to read and consider the
article attentively, and if they were of opinion that it
did not fall within the limitation he had described, but
was either a grave attack on the private character of the
plaintiff, or a comment actuated by private malice and
beyond what was fairly allowed, to find a verdict fir
the plaintiff, with such damages as they considered
he was entitled to under the circumstances ; but on the
other hand, if it had not been mad, out to their satisfac-
tion that the writer of the article had travelled beyond
those wholesome limits of criticism, then their verdict in
thw case would be for the defendant.

The jury retired from the box, and after an absence
of twenty minutes returned into court, when
Tne Foreman announced that they had found a VER-
DICT FuR THE DEFENDANT.

The verdict was received with demonstrations of ap
plause.
The trial lasted five hours and a half, and during the
whole time the court was crowded almost to suffocation.

It was concsded tiat the final decision should he came
to in a tree confereece cat' ali ths swan Gevers-
meetc, hur in the meantime. the e et ere yews that
required irl,tuti:4te tittm-ut, aril of Leese pressing
questions the' Frenkfert Di- t nod( rtosk the arrange-
ment itself. Prussia, divided from tie Butaiestat.7,
found itself in the disagreeable position of not being
able to have a voice iu that arrangement. But now
this positisn had been so fur improved that the settle-
ment both of the Hessian and Holstein questions
would be finally made by the co-operation of all the
German Governments together. It was decided, with
regard to Holstein, that commissioners of Austria and
its allies on one side, and of Prussia and its allies on
the other, with equal rights and powers, should un-
dertake a settlement of the dispute. In Besse a
corps of r.uxilinry troops has b en called in by the
Elector, and had already advanced into the territory.
At first Prussia opposed this occupation, out of a
regard for its midtary position; but it had always
been declared that Prussia had nothing to do with
the internal affairs of Hesse, and would not
mix itself up with them, as neither Sovereign
nor people had called for its assistance. The
final decision of these affairs is referred to the
collective Governments. What the military
relations of Prussia required had been fully
obtained ; the Etappen Strsosen (military roads)
remained open to it, and could at any moment
be used. It was self-evident that Prussia never in-
tended to refuse a passage across them to the troops
of the Buod. (The galleries aid part of the Cham-
ber hissed this passage.) Thy question of peace and
war was a serious one ; he knew what the dis-
position of the Chamber, and.perhaps of the country ;
and the Ministry would have an easier position
'if it had decided for war. He attached great
importance to the judgment of the Chamber, but,
on his conscience, he cound not decide for war. It
could be made only on two grounds. Either we
must go into the field for the protection of the
Hessian Constitution, or because certain concessions
are not made to us in advance. They may be gained
hereaf er, but no one has the right to compel them
to be made beforehand. If he was told that with-
out such concessions a peace would only be of short
duration, he replied, could any one venture to say,
if a war was once begun, where it would end ?
The campaign of a Single year would cost Prussia the
lives of 50,000 or 60,000 men. He knew that there
were were questions in which such a consideration
shocld have n weight ; but to beg,n a war for either
of the two causes he bad named, the Ministers did
not think advisable. There were different opinions
on the present state of things He gave the
Chamber full credit fur patriotism, but he begged
them to consider the matter in coil blood. He knew
what he owed to Prussia, and what Prussia owed to
Germany. He respected the opinion of others, but
he knew how to defend his own.

The declaration of the Minister was rbceisq-d with
every mark of dissatisfaction,

Tnis was an ecAou for a breach of contract of indena-
nit) , arising out of the followiog circumstances: —Me•=s: s.
Allis n, the pianoforte makerscin 1845 mortgaged some
leasehold property in Warduur-street, Berneri-street,
Soho, and certain fixtures, to the defendant., who is a cler-
gyman, for 4,0001, and the plaintiff was under-tenant of
a portion of thee premises to Messrs. Allison. In 1849
the di fondant brought an ejectment against Mews.
Allison and the plaintiff as tenant in possession. An
arrangement was, however, effected, in pursuance of
which the proceedings were stayed, the cefendants
agreeing to deliver up possession of the premises in
June, 1849, and to Fay 50/, in discharge of all rent and
costs. The money was paid, but before possession was
delivered up the superior lanclord, a Mr. Gosnell, &s-
-trained for 65/. rent, and seized three pianofortes, said
to be worth 1501., the property of Mr. Tennant, the pre-
sent plaintiff. On the part of the plaintiff it was con-
t(,ndeci that a part of the arrangement entered into was
that the defendant should pay the rent duo to the su-
perior landlord, which the defendant denied. The at-
torneys fur the respective parties were called, and gave
their respective accounts of chat the arrangement was.

!Ifs LORDSHIP lett it to the jury to 89,y what was the
arrangoment entered into, and if they found for the
plaintiff they must estimate the value of the pianofortes.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff
Damages, 771.

JONES V. HUTCHINSON.

This was an action upon a contract to manufac!ure a
number of dry gas meters, brought to recover 2771. The
defendant, except as to 14/. 4e. 7id. paid into court,
pleaded that he was not liable.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Hawkins appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Maynard
for the defendant.

It appeared that the plaintiff is an engineer and gas-
fitter, and had been employed by the defendant in 1845,
who is a director of a number of gas companies and act•
ing manager of the London Gas Company, and also the
inventor 01 a dry gas-meter called the aerometer, to ma-
nu'acture aerometers for him, telling him he could un-
dertake to supply him with orders to the extent of
3,0001. a year. The plaintiff accordingly commenced
their manufacture, and for a short time was paid by the
defendant. The defendant, hoe ever, told him it must
not be known that he, as manager and shareholder of the
London Gas Company, was supplying other companies
with aerometers, and he must charge the companies to
whom they were supplied. The plaintiff cundnued to
manufacture these machines, and procured a large quan-
tity of materiAs for the purpose, when the defendant
called and told him that no more were wanted. The
plair•tqf then applied for pay meat of the materials and
wok bes,owed on those he was manufacturing, but the
defendant relused to pay, and the plaintiff was com-
pelled to commence the present action.
For the defnce it aas cunt( nded that thP defendant
had given the orders to the plaintiff a; agent only of the
several companies of which he was a director.
liehe jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-S 7 BEET.

Mr. James Freeman, s master tunkenan and cowkeept r
at Dalston. was criaiged before Mr. at the in-
stance of Mr. Thomas, secretary to the Society for the
Preventien of Cruelty to Animals, with the following
wanton brutality to a dog, the property of a gentleman
named Avery, residing in Martin-street, Haggerstone.
Mrs. Caroline Avery stated that while crossing the
street opposite her own house on the morning of the
26th ult. to give her dog, which was a small spaniel, an
airing, the d, fendant, who was accompanied by a large
and powerful brown dog, passed her, and while doing so
the spaniel ran towards the de teedant's dog, apparently
to play with it; the instant it got nigh the defendant, he,
without its doing anything 'het couto cause him effence,
in the most vindictive and spiteful manner, raised his foot,
and dealt it such a violent kick in the side that
its haunches dropped, and it limped away upon three
legs, yelling in extreme agony from the injury it had
sustained. Upon raising the animal in her arms, she
found that the bone of one of its thighs had been
snappi d in halt, and on her husband coming out and
remonstrating with the defendant upon his wanton
cruelty, he said it served the dog right, as it had flown
at him and torn his trousers ; but this she could
positively swear was a falsehood, as she had been a wit-
ness to the whole occurrence, and even if a contest had
ensued between the dogs it must have been to the disad-
vantage of hers, as the defendant's was much larger and
more powerful.
Mr. Charles Avery corroborated his wife's evidence,
and stated that the spaniel was a remarkably quiet anu
playful animal, and was so great a favourite with his
family, from its good temper and inoffensive habits, that
though its real value might not perhaps be more than
about 205., he would not have parted with it for any re-
muneration; but it endured such agony from its broken
thigh, which it was impossible to cure, that he was
obliged to have it killed.
Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, ad-
dressed the magistrate on behalf of his client, stating
that the epaulet had flown at and annoyed him, and
that the kick he had consequently dealt it was for his
own protection) and called a man named Smith, a
woedcul ter, at Dalston, to confirm this statement; but
his evidence was of so unsatisfactory a character, that
Mr. HAMMILL expressed hi, total di:belief in it, and
atter characterising the defendant's conduct as an in-
stance of barbarous cruelty, which was wholly without
justification, said he did not consider he should be doing
his duty if he did not impose upon him the full penalty
of 40s. for his brutality to the dog, ta gether with 20-.
more, whteh was sworn to he the value of the annual,
or, in default, he must staid committed io the House of
coriectiou tor fourteen days.
The defendant demurred to the decision, hut, after
being locked up in the cells, ultiarati ly paid the 31., an,'
was thereupon liberated.
LAMBETH.

Mrs. Ann Scanlan, alias Taylor, alias Jacison, alias
Wald, a middle-aged woman of respectable tept.earancp,
who ctescritied herse4 its the widow ut a gentik man, for-
merly well known ii the literary world, was placed at
the felon's bar before Mr. Norton for further extftnina,
tion on various charges of shoplifting, when the court
was crowded with her vic!im-, and pawnbrokers, anti
their a-sistants with the prep, It).
Gafford and another cons,able belonging to the L
division of police, who have the ca-e in hand, informed
the magis, rdte 'hat sinec the prisoner's last examination
they haft disco% Ned upwards efs.vcmy black silk necker-
chiefs at different pawnbrokers, where they had bre,:
pledged by the pri.oner, bat, the private marks havieg
been removed, the persons from whom they had N.H.
stolen were u, able to identi y them. Upwards of twenty
drapers in cif.-rent prfs ut the metropolis identified the
prisoner as having given them a call, and her mode of
proce,diug at each shop was pr cisely the same'. She
gave an order for the same description of articles,
gen, rally shirts, socks, and ono black silk neck- rchicf,
and in se'ecting the latter article she managed to s,crete
the remaining portion ut th-, piece about her person.
Three c 4 areases were selected irom among the number,
and in these the evidence was taken, and the prisoner
W 3, committed for trial on each.

A City of-Re r deposed he was present at th. C. ti-
tre! Criminal Court on the 121,h of S.pt.rr her lust, when
[he pribont-r was tried and convic!ed of stealing a book,
The Church Service," and sentenced to one month's
imorisoiant,tit.

It was also stated that the prisoner had been in cus-
tody in the early part of the month of August last, at
Marlborough street Police-court, on a cha, ge of stealing
five s►lk handkerchiefs, but though the evidence wa,
quite conclusive of her gu►lt, the prosecutor, on account
of her representations as to her former position, &e., de-
clined to press the charge, and she was allowed to go
about her business. The case, however, is so conclu-
sive, that Mr. Norton felt it to be his duty to direct the
constable to have the prosecutor, Mr. Thomas Bastery,
of 208, Regent-street, to be in attendance at the next
examination, end the prisoner was again remanded until
Thursday next. Besides this wholesale system of shop-
lifting, the prisoner tried her hand at begging letter-
writing, and among the letters found at her lodgings
were the follovving:—_

"Buckingham Palace, June 25, 1847.
" Mr. Anson begs to acknowledge the receipt of Mrs
Seanlan's note, and to acquaint her in reply that at Mr
Scanlan's death be sent 101. towards the expense of his
funeral, and regrets he cannot do any more."
" Osborne, July 26, 1850.
" Lieutenant-Coknd Phipps has received the com
mends of his Royal Highness Prince Albert to inform
Mrs. Scanlan Out the very numerous applications for
pecuniary aFsimance must prevent c,)mpliance with the
request contained in her letter of the 24th inst."

" Marlborough-house, May 12, 1848.
" Madam,—l am c•.minanded to acknowledge tie re•
caipt 01 your letter addrested to the Queen Doweger,
stating )cur ease, and soliciting tier assistance, and to
convey to ye u the expression of her Majesty's regret at
being prevented, by the numerous and urgent demands
daily made upon her bounty, from complying with the
prayer of your petition.
"1 have the honour to be, Madam,
" Your most obedient servant,
"IL S. BEDFORD."
Mr. Solomons, who attended on behalf of u e pri
soner, applied for his client being admitted to bail, on
the ground of ill health, but Mr. Norton refused the ap-
plica!ion, and said that at least for the present he could
nut entertain it.
