CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

♦DAMS V. THE RLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY.

The further arguments in this appeal were resumed
and concluded this morning. The case came before his
Lordship upon appeal from the judgment of the Vice-
Chancellor Wigram, overruling a demurrer put in by
the defendants to the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiff
sought for a declaration from the Court, that the com-
pany were bound to complete their purchase of the Fair-
field Works at Stratford, and the demurrer was for n ant
of equity.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the ar-
guments, stated that he should consider the case before
he gave his judgment.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER )
WARD V. PRITCHARD.
This was an ecticn brought on a guarantee. Def,n-
dant suffered judgment to go by default. It appeared
that the plaintiff had advanced 1501. to the defendant
and others on their entering into a guarantee for the
repayment of the amount, and also effecting a policy of
insurance, and keeping up the payments thereon.
The Learned SECONDARY held, that as the deed was
set forth in the declaration, and defendant had, by not
pli adtng, admitted the breach, the production of the
d ed was sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to a verdict.
Verdict for the amount claimed, and interest at 5 per
cent.

The parties in the c ther cases not being in attendance,
the jury /1 ere c ise arged.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
An elderly man named Neal, and a young man named
Keef, were charged w,th a saulting the police.
Police-constable F 119 stated, that while on euty last
night, betwen seven and eight o'clock, he saw K of kick-
ing at a public house door in Brownlow-street, and per-
ceivit,g that he was drunk, he requested him to go away,
but instead of doing so, he became very abusive, and
u!t;mstely he attempted to take him into custody. Ti
prisoner, however, reslitee, and during the struggle
Nesl csme up, and demanded that Keef should be re-
leased. lie told him that his demand could not be com-
plied with, and thereupon Keef took hold of his coat
collar at the back, and Neal in front, and after
violently shaking, and nearly throtling him, they
torn the collar completely off. They would
have proceeded to further violence had not several
other officers come up and stopped them. Neal went
quietly to the station, but Keef resisted to the last, and
it required the strength of three officers to carry him to
Bow-street. On his way to the station-house Neal struck
a boy with his stick, and knocked him down.

Iceef said he was a plasterer, residing in Short's-
garthns. lie had been attending an arbitration, on Ba-
rcena, and having drank rather too freely, he was quite
unconscious of what had occurred.

Neal said he simply interfered because ho knew Keef
was just at home, and if the officer had not laid hands
upon him he would have gone away quietly. The fact
was, some one in the public-house called him a bulldog,
which exasperated him, but had the officer been more
mild in his manner, no disturbanco would have taken
place.
Mr. lIENny fined Keef 10s., or seven days' imprison-
ment, and Neal is., or three days.
The fines were paid.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
LOOKING OUT FOR ♦ BREAKFAST.—John Crawley, a
member of the prize ring, was charged before Mr.
Bingham with creating a disturbance and using indecent
language at the house of Mr. Benjamin Caunt, Coach
and Horses, St. Martin's-lane.

Mrs. Caunt stated that on the previous evening the
prisoner came into her house and called for a glass of
wine. Seeing that he was already in liquor, she refused
to serve him, and told him to go home and call again
when he was sober. He said " he'd be d—d if he would
go; he had come out for a row, and had made
it all square with the constable outside for a
dollar, and he was determined to get a break-
fast at some one's expense, so he might as well
have a jolly row in her (witness's) house." He then
became so violent, and made use of such filthy language
towards her, that aho sent for a constable and gave
him in charge.
The prisoner, in defence, said he had been engaged
to spar at Ben Caunt's benefit, at the National Baths,
and called at Caunt's house last night for the purpose
of getting his money. On telling the purport of his
visit to Mrs. Caunt, she abused him, and threatened to
kick him out.

This was denied by Mrs. Caunt's barmaid, who was
present the whole of the time.
Mr. BINGHAM fined him 6s. for being drunk, and, in
addition, ordered him to find one surety to keep the
peace towards the complainant for two months.

A CLERGYMAN CHARGED WITH F/t/Xl).—A well-
dressed man, who stated that his name was Richard
Willis, and that he sN as a clergyman, residing at Min-
ster, Kent, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged
with fraudulently obtaining the sum of 51. from Mr.
Hind, hotel-keeper, No. 30, Leicester-square.
It appeared from the evidence, that in the month of
July last the prisoner went to the prosecutor's house and
dined there. His bill came to Bs., and in payment he
gave the waiter a cheque fur 51., made payable at Messrs.
Currie, Cornhill. Not having the least suspicion of the
prisoner, who was dressed very respectably, the waiter
handed the prisoner the difference, after deduct-
ing the Bs., and the prisoner left the house.
The prosecutor payed the cheque away, and in a
day or so after it was returned to him, marked " Not
known; no effects." Nothing more was seen of the pri-
soner till yesterday, when the waiter met him in the
street, and gave him in charge.
The prisoner said ho thought it was all right, as he
had an idea that he had an account at Currie's.
Mr. BINGHAM remanded him till Tuesday.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The present week's arrival of English Wheat for
our market, coastwise, has been only 450 quarters. By
land carriage, the receipts have fallen off. To-day, the
show of samples of both red and white was small.
Selected qualities sold steadily, at full prices. In all
other ;kinds next to nothing was doing. No Foreign
Wheat has come to band since our last. Granaried
samples moved off to a fair extent, at previous cur-
rencies. The show of Raley in both English and
Foreign was but moderate. All descriptions were a
slow sale but not cheaper. Malt—the supply of which
was good—ruled very dull, and late rates were with
difficulty supported. We bad a good show of English
Oats; but that of Foreign was small. On the whole
a fair business was doing in them, at full prices. Beans,
Pear, Indian Corn, and Flour commanded very little
attention.
