LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEIV'S BENCH, Feb. 20.
Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice ERLE and a
Common Jury.)
EBEL V. THE BARON VON ANDLAU.

Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Bell appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Hogging fJr
the defendant.

The plaintiff in this action, Joseph Ebel, was a fo-
reigner, who had lived as footman in the service of the
defendant, the Baron von Andlau. The latter was for-
merly aide-de-camp to the Duke of Brunswick, but now
kept a school for young gentlemen at Gothic House,
Clapham. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, and
brought the action, which was in trespass, to recover da-
mages from the defendant for causing him to be arrested
on an unfounded charge of felony, and taken before a
magistrate. It appeared from the evidence given by the
plaintiff's witnesses, that the plaintiff had applied to the
defendant for employment, and referred for his character
to a shoemaker named Laubachet, carrying on business
in the Burlington-arcade. The defendant called upon this
person, and then wrote to the plaintiff recommending
him to call on the Duke of Brunswick, who wanted a
vela. The plaintiff called upon the Duke of Brunswick
as requested, but was not engaged by the Duke. Shortly
afterwards the defendant engaged the plaintiff as his own
fcotman, but he had not been there more than two or
three months when the defendant dismissed him from
his service on suspicion of stealing a sausage from the
parlour cupboard. The plate having been examined, a
portion of it was missed, and the defendant a day or two
afterwards gave the plaintiff into custody on suspicion
of stealing eight silver forks and ten silver spoons. The
plaintiff was then taken by the policeman, who was in
plain clothes, to the station-house, where the defendant,
who accompanied them, made and signed the charge.
The parties then proceeded to the Lambeth Police-court,
where Mr. Norton was sitting; and, on the case being
stated, the magistrate remanded the plaintiff, in order
that an opportunity might be afforded of tracing the
property. The plaintiff was liberated on his own recog-
nizanoes to appear, and having appeared, and there being
no evidence against him, he was discharged by the sit-
ting magistrate.
The defence set up by the defendant was in substance
that there were certain suspicious circumstances in the
defendant's conduct while in the house, which reasonably

led the plaintiff to suspect that the defendant, who had
charge of the plate, had stolen the missing portion, and
several witnesses were called in support of this defence.
Mr. Justice ERLE having summed up the evidence,
The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, gave a
verdict for the plaintiff, with 10/. damages.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Fcb. 20.
,Sittings Lt Guildhall bef.re Mr. Justice TALIOURD and
Special Juries.)
HOYLE r. ENTHOVEN.

In this case Mr. Watson, Q. C., Mr. Sergeant Channell,
and Mr. Denman were counsil for the plaintiff; and Mr.
Sergeant Byles and Mr. Bovill for the defendant.
This was an action by the plaintiff to recover from
the defendant the interest upon seven bonds or promis-
sory notes of the company of the Copper Miners of Eng-
land, under the common seal of that corporation, made
payable to the defendant on order, and by him endorsed
to the plaintiff. There were also counts for money had
and received and money lent, to recover back the prin-
ciple. The bonds or notes were in the form of promis-
sory notes, bearing date of the 15th of July, 1845, for
the sum of 5001. each, payable on the 15th of July, 1850,
bearing interest, in the meantime, at the rate of 5 per
cent., payable half-yearly.
It appeared that the defendant was the Governor of
the Company of Copper Miners of England, and was also
the holder of a large number of the notes of this company.
According to the evidence of Mr. Cunliffe, the banker,
who was on terms of the greatest intimacy with the de-
fendant, Mr. Cunliffe had been repeatedly applied to by
the defendant to take some of the notes of this company,
which he invariably refused ; but in August, 1845, Mr.
Cunliffe having at the time 3,500/. in his possession on
behalf of the plaintiff far investment, in an interview
with the defendant upon the subject of these notes, told
the defendant that be had this sum to invest, and had no
objection to lend it to the defendant upon having the
bonds as collateral security; to this the defendant con-
sented, and he then, in the presence of Mr. Cunliffe, in-
serted his own name in the body of the seven bonds, and
afterwards endorsed them and handed them to the wit-
ness. Upon being cross-examined, this witness admitted
that the defendant had banked with Messrs. Cunliffe,
Roger, and Co. for more than twenty years, and on the
20th of August, 1845, had deposited in their bank the
sum of 20,0001., at 21 per cent. interest, payable at a
week's notice. On the sth of August was an entry in
the defendant's pass-book crediting with the sum of
3,5001., seven bonds, Copper Miners' Company; and
there was also an entry in the plaintiff's pass-book of
the same date debiting them with the sum of 3,500/.,
seven bonds, Copper Miners' Company. The defendant
at this time had also a balance of from 7,000/. to 10,0001.
at Messrs. Barclay's.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES took several objections to the
bonds upon the ground that they were in the nature of
agreements and ought to be stamped accordingly.
The Learned JUDGE overruled the objections.

A nollo prosequi was entered by the plaintiff as to the
special counts, subject to an objection by Mr. Sergeant
Byles that it could not be done at this stage of the cause.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES then addressed the jury on behalf
of the defendant upon the common counts, and suggested
the improbability of the defendant receiving this money
as a lean to himself, when, on the 12th of August, he
bad paid into Messrs. Cunliffe and Co.'s bank the sum
of 20,0001., and had also a large ba'ance at Messrs.
Barclay's.
The Learned JUDGE then summed up, leaving it to
the jury to say whether this was an absolute purchase
from En:hoven, or whether the money was lent to him,
and the bonds were given as collateral security; also,
whether if it were a loan the principal was to be payable
upon request., or in default of the payment of interest.
The jury found that the money was lent to the de-
fendant as a loan to him, and became payable on default
being made in the payment of interest. The verdict was
therefore for the plaintiff for 3,500/. and interest, amount-
ing to 3,893/. 15s.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES then presented a bill of excep-
tions, upon the question of the stamps and otherpoints.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Feb. 20.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge.)
THE ARGYLL ROOMS.

At the sitting of the Court, Mr. PARRY said he had
to make an application on behalf of some parties against
whom two indictments were, pending in this Court, in
which they were charged with keeping as a " disorderly
house" an establishment in the iparieh of St. James's,
well known as the " Argyll Rooms." That application
was, that the trial of these indictments might not take
place in this Court till after an indictment which was
now awaiting trial in the Court of Queen's Bench had
been disposed of by that tribunal. There was not the
slightest distinction between the indictments in this
Court and the one in the Court of Queen's Bench. No
new circumstances had arisen to justify these latter pro-
ceedings, and, in point of fact, all the indictments were
for one and the same offence. The attorney for the de-
fendants in his affidavit stated that the proceedings were
taken solely to harass the defendants, and, if possible,
to ruin them with expenses. The expenses they had
incurred had been very great, and he would ask the
Court whether it would sanction the proceedings of the
prosecutor, one Thomas Stowell, an informer, whose only
object in taking them was to involve expense, and to
harass and annoy the parties?
The Learned JUDGE wished to know whether there
was not an affidavit, in which the prosecutor swore there
were grave matters of law involved, upon which it was
desirable to obtain the decision of the highest criminal
tribunal in the land?
Stowell said he had sworn no such affidavit.
Mr. PARRY would undertake to furnish the Court with
the affidavit in a very shurt time if the Court would
allow him to renew the application. If Stowell had
anything to say in reference to the defendants, he hoped
the Court would direct that it should be by affidavit,
so that the defendants might be enabled to prosecute
him for perjury should he state anything that was false.

The donlathen named two o'clock for a renewal of
the application, and at that hour
Mr. PARRY handed in thelaffidavit, and repeated his
application, contending that whatever legal wrong the
defendants had done by keeping this establishment, they
had done no moral wrong; that the Legislature ought
to interpose and protect free subjects from the perse-
cutions of common informers, especially in such mat-
ters as these, and that nothing could be more fair, rea-
sonable, and proper than the application he made on
their behalf.
Mr. CLARKSON opposed the application, the object of
which was that the defendants might keep the place open
until after the decision of a higher court had been ob-
tained, and the object of the prosecutor in opposing it
was, that if the parties were tried in the ordinary course
and convicted, the place might be shut up until that de-
cision were given.
The Learned JUDGE said he considered the question
one of much importance, and une upon which the deci-
sion of the highest tribunal was necessary. If the par-
ties chose, they could remove the indictment to the
Central Criminal Court, and such a course would be at.
tended with very little delay. It was known that he
entertained some strong opinions as to the applicability
of the law under which these proceedings were taken
to the present state of society;
but,. though his private
opinions would not operate upon hmi in telling a jury
what the law actually was, that might be an additional
reason why the case should be removed to another tri-
bunal. lie had from the first considered that this ease
ought to be tried by the highest tribunal in the land;
and he should, therefore, order the trial of the indict-
ment in this court to be postponed until further appli-
cation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Joseph Solomon, of Little Britain, again appeared be-
fore bir Peter Laurie and Mr. Alderman Hunter to
answer the charge of committing a rape on his father's
servant.

Mr. Robinson, the solicitor, who appeared on behalf of
the girl at, the two prey ous examinations, also attended
to-day, and Mr. Lewis defended Solomon.
Mr. Lonsdale, solicitor, said that he attended on be-
half of one of the brothers of the girl, and wished for a
remand, as she had been taken away, and her friends
were most anxious to know where she was. lie under-
stood that a sum of 50/. had been given to the girl not
to proceed further in the case. After the last examina-
tion on Friday the girl went to her lodgings, and re-
mained there until Monday, when her sister and Mrs.
Bradshaw took her away, saying that she was her guar-
dian. lie was also informed that the money had been
raid at Mr. Robinson's office.
Mr. Robinson—l dewy that any money was received
at my office; end all I know c f the transaction is that
I called at her place of abode and found she was gone.

I am not acquainted with the fact that any money has
been given to the girl.
Mr. Lewis said that Mr. Solomon as most anxious
that the fullest inquiry should be made into the case,
and if a sum of money had been given, his client ought
not to be answerable for the conduct of his friends, for
there was an old saying of " Save me from my friends,"
and Mr. Solomon's case might show that he was in the
position to make a similar exclamation. The bail taken
fur his appearance on the last occasion was small, being
only himself in 801., and two sureties of 401., and had
he been guilty, seeing the punishment before him, he
would have forfeited his recognizances and not attended.
Again, if he was guilty, it would have been a most un-
wise thing to give the girl in custody- on a charge of
felony; hut the fact was (as he was instructed), the girl
never mentioned the assault upon her until after she was
in custody.
The Chief Clerk—l must disabuse your mind on that
subject; fur the evidence is, that she was not given into
custody until after she had complainel of the ill-treat•
silent she bad received.
Sir P. LAURIE—I have read the case carefully in the
newspapers, and a more disgusting remark made by
the prisoner's mother I cannot conceive, when she said
to the girl, Well, I suppose he did not kill you." My
experience has proved to me that females are the great
deceivers of their own sex.

Mr. Robinson said that it was rather extraordinary
that the brothers never moved in the matter until they
were told some money had been given to the girl.
Mr. Lonsdale—ln explanation, I must say that the
brother, who is in service, only first e aw the report in the
Sunday papers, and he then became. anxious to get the
girl back, and not allow any compromise, whatever the
amount offered might be.
Mr. Lewis—Well, I appear to be the middle man in
the squabble (Laughter) but I must repeat that
Mr. Solomon is most anxious to court the fullest
inquiry; and he should like to hear what Webb, the
officer, had to say.
Henry Webb said that he asked t he girl's sister where
she was, and she said that she bad been very honour-
ably remunerated, and had gone inre the country. She
further said that since it had been set afloat that money
had been paid, her brother had coins and demanded it,
and kicked up a row.
Mr. Lonsdale said there were four brothers, but he
only appeared for one to prosecute the care.
One of the brothers here stepped forward, and denied
being the one who called at Mr. Brac'shaw's, and de-
manded the money. He only wished to know where his
sister was. _ _ _

Bradshaw said ho was not the brother who called to
ask how the case wal stttied. Ile told him (the /other
brother) huw it stood, and that th© girl had received
some coropenntion.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Whero is the girl? Bradshaw—
I don't know.

Sir PETER LAURIE—Did the girl say what money she
receivtd? Bradsbaw—l can't say.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Yes you can.
Bradshaw—l believe it was 501. _ _ _

Sir PETER LAURIE—Where is your wife now? Brad-
shaw—She is away because she should not be annoyed
by her brother, who wanted to get the money.
Sir PETER LAURIE—But where is she? You surely
must know. Bradshaw—l do not know where she has
gone.
Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, I shall remand the case, as
the charge is one of an ae,graNated nature; and where,
most likely, chloroform has been used. He then re-
manded the case until Tuesday next, and increased the
bail, requiring Mr. Solomon to enter into his recogni-
zance of 2001., and two sureties of 1001. each.
Mr. Lewis hoped that at the next examination some
tangible charge would be made out.
Sir PETER LAURIE said he should remand the case
from time to time until the girl was forthcoming.
The required bail was entered into, and Mr. Solomon
left the court with his friends.
MARYLEBONE.

An extraordinary degree of interest was excited at
this court, in consequence of its having become known
that a woman named Elizabeth Higgins, the wife of a
wheelwright, living at 33, Little Carlisle-street, Port-
man-market, was about to undergo an examination be-
fore Mr. Broughton, on the heinous charge of having
attempted to murder her three children, of the respec-
tive ages of seven years, five years, and seven mouths,
by drowning, and to terminate her own existence by the
same means. _ _ _

Ann. West, 32, Orcas-street, Paddington, deposed that
on Monday evening last, at a quarter to seven o'clock,
as she was coming up the Bloomfield-road, adjoining the
Regent's Canal, she saw the prisoner on the towing-path
with the baby in her arms, and the ether two children
by her side; she lowered the baby gently into the water,
in order, no doubt, to avoid the noise which a splash
would have caused; and upon witness observing this, by
looking between some palings, she instantly gave an
alarm. The prisoner then put another child into the
canal in the same way, and having done that she went
in herself, dragging the third child in with her.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did the water appear to be deep?
Witness—Very deep, sir; they all went down, and pre-
sently afterwards rose again to the surface.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you hear any screaming from
either of them? Witness—One of the children cried out
"Father," and another " Help." A man came running
towards me, and I said to him, " For God's sake, master,
make haste, for there is a woman and her children
drowning." He pulled off his coat and hat, and was
going to jump in, when another young man plunged head
foremost into the water, and being a good swimmer he
fortunately succeeded in rescuing the prisoner and her
family from a watery grave.
Mr. BROUGHTON—In what condition were they when
they were got out? Witness—The prisoner vs as very
faint and incapable of uttering a word, and the poor dear
infant was much convulsed; and at the doctor's to whom
they had been taken and properly attended to, the first
expression used by the prisoner, as soon as she was in
some measure restored, was, " What has become of my
dear children?" I had her baby in my arms, and when
she saw it she burst into tears.
John Rollins, a painter, living at No. 6, Devonshire-
street, Lisson-grove, stated, that hearing loud cries for
assistance he hastened to the spot, and divesting himself
of his upper clothing, at once plunged into the canal, on
the surface of which he perceived four persons floating
in the middle of the water, the depth of which was very
considerable. He laid hold of and brought out the pri-
soner and two children, and just as he handed them to
some persons on the bank, a boat came along, which
prevented him at the moment from seeking for the other
child. As soon, however, as it passed by, he again
swam out, in order to find the remaining one, if possi-
ble, and was in the act of swimming back again, being
of opinion that the case was hopeless, when his foot
struck against something,
and on his putting his hand
down as low as he could he seized bold of the other
child by its clothes and got it out. It was then to all
appearance dead.
James Boyle, who received some of the unfortunate
parties from the hands of Rollin, corroborated a great
portion of his (Rollins's) evidence.
Bates, 162 D, said that he saw the prisoner with her
infant and eldest child upon the bank. The latter said.
" There was three of us; there's another in the water.'
Witness thought when he first beheld the prisoner that
life was extinct. He afterwards heard the prisoner say
to Mrs. West, " What a foolish woman you were to
give the alarm, fcr I wish that I and my dear children
had all gone to heaven, as I have lived so wretched a
life with my husband."
The husband (who sat by the side of the bar) had in
his arms one of the children, five years old, and who was
so miraculously saved.
Mr. Start and Mr. Humby, surgeons, were examined,
and they deposed to the dangerous condition in which
the prisoner and two of her children were when brought
to them in a cab.
Inspector Wiggins, of the D division, was sworn,
and he said, the first time I saw the prisoner was at
half-past ten yesterday morning, at the Paddington
workhouse, when I called there to see if she was in
a fit state to be brought up here. I found
her in bed, and asked her how she felt after what had
occurred ; she then observed that it was all through her
husband's bad conduct that she threw herself and
children into the water. I said, " Does he beat you ?"
and she replied, " Very frequently, and for no other
reason that I had no dinner provided for him at times
when he came home. He earns 275. a week, and out of that
he gives me the odd 7s. to keep house and find every-
thing; the 20s. he spends entirely upon himself ; he
comes home drunk, pulls me out of bed, and beats me,
saying that he would be the death of me, and that it
should not be a sudden but a lingering death. I have
also been afraid that he would poison me, and I thought
I and my children might as well die at once as not." I
this morning went down to the workhouse and brought
her up to this court in a cab.
The prisoner had no questions to put to either of the
witnesses, and repeated that her husband's neglect and
ill-treatment had brought her into all the trouble. At
the time of her attempting to drown herself and children
her mind was in such a state that she knew not what she
was about.
Mr. BROUGHTON remarked impressively and feelingly
upon the heinous nature of the crime alleged against
the prisoner, and said that he was bound to send her for
trial; she would be brought up again next Wednesday,
when, after the depositions had been taken down in due
form and read over by Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, she
would be committed.
She was then placed in a cell by Mitchell, the goaler,
who took care that she was properly watched, and at
five o'clock she was conveyed to the House of Detention,
Clerkenwell. The children will, for the present, be
taken care of in the workhouse.
The magistrate praised highly the conduct of the wit-
ness Rollins, and said he hoped he would be hand-
somely rewarded by the Royal Humane Society. He
also considered that much credit was duo to Mrs. West
for her exertions in this very distressing and heart-
rending case.
WORSHIP-STREET. _

Alexander Lovey, a working gunsmith, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with cutting and
wounding his wife, Charlotte Lovey, with intent to
murder her.
Samuel Taylor, street-keeper of Whiteehape], stated
that, while on duty in High-street, between six and
seven o'clock on the preceding evening, ho saw a gen-
tleman advancing towards him, supporting a woman,
who was grasping the right side of her neck with her
hands, through the fingers of which the blood was
streaming down tr:on her clothes, which were completciy
saturated. On questioning her as to the cause of the
injury, sho told him that it had been inflicted by her
husband; and he, therefore, immediately directed Ser-
geant Barnes, who was passing at the time, to proceed to
the house she indicated and take him into custody, whilst
the witness procured a cab, in which the wounded woman
was removed t..) the hospital.
A lad named John Woolcott stated that he had been
for four years in the service of the prisoner, who lived
in Boar's Head-yard, Whitechapet, and that he and his
wife had lived upon very unhappy terms for a consider-
able time past. An altercation of SOXiolla deNriptioll

s~

,i,

ensued between them on the preceding morning, att -
termination of which the prisoner's wife shbrpened a
small table-knife, with the expressed intention of cutting
her own throat, but rem dissuaded from it by her hus-
band, who took the knife from her, and she soon after-
wards left the house. On her return home in the even
ing the prisoner told her that he hoped they would live
more comfortably together in future, and went out for
some wine, with which he came back, and after partaking
of a portion of it, she apprised him that she bad been
to the Thames Police-court, to obtain a warrant against
him, and that she intended to renew her application
on the following morning. The prisoner, wkho wee
cooking sumstieg at the fire, and had a nife ill
his hand, upon that became much excited, and in-
stantly stabbed her in the neck, with the ex
that she meant to swear his life away. The wife started
free' the chair on which she was sitting, the blood pour-
ing profu.rly from her throat, and rushed down stairs
screaming " Murder," and witness followed her int°
as
the streea where a gentleman cauht her in his arms
she was in the act of falling, and assisted her to a sur-
geon's in the neighbourhood, who directed her instant
clantatioil
removal to the hospital. The witness added that the
, was a very sober and well-conducted wow°,
rife but
that the prisoner himself was addicted to very inteinP"
rate habits, though perfectly sober at the time the nc"
currenceea k lace.
Sergnttooßarnes,p 16 H, stated that upon reaching the
prisoner's house, he found him sitting at a table, cuttini
slice cf bread, and taking his tea in the most compost.%
manner; and upon apprising him of the nature of
cgs'
charge against hire, and that he must take him wee
