HOUSE OFEORDS.---(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day for the purpose of hearing
Scotch appeals. The Peers present were the Lord
Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord WodebonEe.

THE DUKE OF ROXBURGHE V. 31ISS J. W. RAMSAY.

Mr. BETHELL opened the appeal this morning.
The caie came before their Lordships f)r the purpoeo
of obtaining the reversal of the decision cf the Court of
Session, which gave to the respondent the exchisive
right to certain fisheries on lands adjoining those of the
Noble Respondent. The arguments appear likely to oc-
cupy a day or two. •

VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
TRANT V. DEFFELL.
The further arguments in this part-heard case occu.
pied his Honour the whole day.
No case of any interest came before the Vice• Chan
oellora Knight Bruce and Wigram during the morning.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Lord LANGDALE, Master of the Roth.)
SOLOMONS V. LAING.

The Court was occupied throughout the morning in
hearing the further arguments in this, which was a part-
heard case.

Mr. G. Turner was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Matins represented the defendant.
The question raised in the suit is whether the di-
rectors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail-
way Company were justified i❑ applying any portion of
the funds in their hands belonging to the shareholders,
in purchasing, as they bad done, shares in the Direct
London and Portsmouth Railway.
Mr. TURNER, for the plaintiff, contended that the di-
rectors of the South Coast Company held the moneys
of the shareholders of that line in trust to be applied
fur the purposes of the line, and for those purposes
under the terms of the Act of Parliament authorising
the construction of the line; and that therefore they
were not justified in expending any part of the funds in
buying shares in the Direct London and Portsmouth lir e.

Mr.MALINs, on the other hand, submitted that though
that might ke so, yet a Court of Equity had no jurisdic-
tion over the transaction; and that if any misappropria-
tion of the funds had taken place, the proper course was
to sue the individual dirt ctors for a breach of truit.

The case had not concludrd whrn our report left.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Befure the RECORDER.)
Thomas Coker, 21, described as a labourer, was in-
dicted with feloniously breaking and entering the dwel-
ling-house of James Eades, and stealing therefrom his
moneys to the ♦alue of 71. 2s. 6d.

The prosecutor was a very old man, living at Ux-
bridge, and it appeared that while he was absent from
home on the 12th of February last, some person broke
into his cottage, through the ceiling, and abstracted
71. 2s. 6d., which consisted chiefly of silver, and was
the amount of some savings which he had hoarded up.
Suspicion having fallen upon the prisoner, a police con-
stable was sent in search of him, and he succeeded in
taking him into custody at Windsor, whither he had
gone. On being searched several pieces of silver were
found upon him, and among them a shilling with a hole
in it, which was identified by the prosecutor as belong-
ing to him.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner, together with Mary Ann Georgina
Graves, was then charged upon another indictment
with stealing a shift, the value of 6d., the property of
Mary Ann Brown, but were both Acquitted.
The RECORDER sentenced the male prisoner on the
first charge to transportation for ten years.
Joseph Easton, aged 18, described as a baker, was
indicted with burglary in the dwelling, house of Andrew
Jackson, and stealing therein two tea caddies, and other
articles, his property.
A police constable stated, that as he was passing the
prosecutor's souse in Brixton-road, about a quarter
past three o'clock on the morning of the 22d of
February, he heard a noise, and suspecting that
something was wrong, he went round to the back of the
house, and on turning on his " bull's-eye" ho discovered
the prisoner standing on the garden-walk, with a dark
lantern in his hand. He took him into custody, and
found the property in question in his possebsion. The
back kitchen door was open, and on entering the house
he saw that a great number of articles had been dis-
turbed, as if it had been the intention of the prisoner to
carry them off. _ _

Airy Ann Perkins proved having, on the night pre-
vious to the robbery, properly and securely fastened the
door and window of the back kitchen.

Mr. Jackson, the prosecutor, identified the property.
The prisoner said he had nothing to say to tho charge.
The RECORDER having summed up,
The jury found a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for
ten years.
Thomas Gat% 22, described as a labourer, was in-
dicted with feloniously wounding Joseph Smalley, a
constable, in the execution of his duty, with intent to
prevent his lawful apprehension.
Police-constable Smalley said he was on duty on the
10th of February last in Rosemary-lane, and about
a quarter-past twelve that night he was engaged in
quelling a disturbance between a man and a womar, and
while doing so a man came up behind him and gave him
a violent blow in the eye, which knocked him down, and
the man then ran away, hut he could not say who he
was. The prisoner was afterwards taken into custody,
and while witness and another constable named Duffy
were taking him to the station-house they were sur-
rounded by a mob of people, and some one wrenched the
staff out of Duffy's hand and gave him (witness) three
violent cuts on the head. The prisoner was rescued
from their hands and got away. Witness could not say
whether the prisoner was the person who struck the
Wows.

Mr. Lynch, a cheesemonger in Rosemary-lane, identi-
fied the prisoner as the man who struck Smalley.
Other witnesses were called who gave similar evidence.
The surgeon who attended Smalley said the blows
were of a very serious character, and had prevented him
going on duty since the occurrence.
The jury found a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner
was sentenced to imprisonmet.t for 18 calendar months
iu the House of Correction, with hard labour.

NEW GO U 177'.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BuLLocK )

The Court was occupied this morning in trying Mini
oases, none of which presented the slightest feature of
interest.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A youth named Thomas Warner, whose head hardly
reached the top of the dock, was charged before Mr.
Jardine, with the following daring robbery:—
A police constable of the City Detective Force deposed
that he was on duty last evening, on Ludgate•hill, when
he met the prisoner in the company with the most noto-
rious of thieves, a youth about thirteen years (f age,
and who bears the happy cognomen of "Daring Billy."
Believing that they were tent on mischief, he followed
them through Fleet-street into the Strand, where, when
they arrived opposite the shop of Mr. Thomson, the large
clothier, they began to think that that appeared to be a
very likely place of doing business. "Daring Billy" was
unanimously agreed upon to act the part of scout, whilst
the prisoner was to appropriate to himself any of Mr.
Thomson's property most suitable for removal. On his
entry into the shop he removed the top coats which were
placed upon the dummies which stood on either side of
the door, and seeing three other coats lying on the coun-
ter, he could not forbear from picking them up also, fie
thus would have made his escape, as the parties who had
charge of the shop were in a back parlour at tea, had it
not been for the vigilance of the City constable, who, the
moment he came out with the property, pounced upon
him. " Daring Billy" managed to effect his escape.
Mr. Thomson deposed that the coats were worth about
5/. lie was quite unable to account for the manner in
which the prisoner had got into the shop without their
seeing him, as their eyes were always on the door when
;it tea. _ _ _

The prisoner, who proteste. d that he was quite inno-
cent of the charge, was committed to take his trial.

THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)
The annual general meeting of the Thames Tunnel
Company took place this morning, at Ridley's Hotel, in
Bridge-street, Blackfriars.

The report, which was very brit f, announced a reduc-
tion in the expenditure. The receipts of the past year
for tolls amounted to 3,4801. 13e. 2d.; for rents, to 906/
18a.; and for books of description, to 4/. ss. 6d. The
balance in hand at the close of the last year was 541/.
193. 2d., making a total revenue of 4,933/. 9e. lod. The
expenditure consisted of 3,665/. 6s. 3d. for the cost of
works, rates and taxes, management, &c.; and 6511. Os.
3d. paid to the Pullin Works Loan Commissioners;
leaving 617/. 33. 4d. to be carried to the next year's
account.

The report was adopted, and the proceedings termi-
nated with the customary vote of thanks to the directors.

RINGING LORD CAMPBELL OUT OF LINCOLN'S
NN.—Lord Campbell having been appointed by her
Majesty Lord Chief Justice of England in th( room of
Lord Denman, was, this morning, rung out of Lincoln's
Inn. According to the ancient asage of the profession,
every one before he becomes a judge must be sworn in a
sergeant-at-law, and thereby become a member of Ser-
geauts' Inn. Lord Campbell, as is welt known, was a
member and bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and his elevation
to the beach, wading tc• the rule of th 9 inno of wart,

MARCH 5, 1850

rendered the ceremony necessary, which was enacted
this morning in the Bell Tower or Lincoln's Inn Hale
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. —ln the year
1798, there were two men in the parish of St. Dominick,
Richard Hill and Richard Nettle, who became fellow-ser-
vants at Halton Barter, near Callington,and rifler having
lived together for three years, each took a wife of the maid
servants of the same house (two sisters), and the ma Arr
provided the wedding dinner for both parties. Since that
time those men have laboured together for upwards of
thirty years on Halton quays. They both joined a sick
club in the parish on the same day, and died both the
sauce night, and were buried at St. Dominick on the
same evening (of the 13th instant), side by side in the
same grave, the one aged 76, the other 73 yeare.—De-
mew t Telegraph.
COLOSSAL BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND.—At the last
meeting of the Geological Society of London, Dr. Man-
tell, in illustration of a memoir on s large c,ll.ction of
fossils and rock specimens lately received from his soy,
Mr. Walter Mantel!, cf New Zealand, exhibited sortie
highly interesting remains of the colossal birds of that
country; among them were skulls and mandibles, egg-
shells, and enormous bones of the hinder extremities.
The most remarkable were the entire series of bones
composing the legs and feet of the same individual,
Dinonnis giganteus, found in a morass at WailcoLuici, on
the Middle Island, standing erect, the one a yard in ad-
vance of the other, as if the bird had been mired in the.
swamp, and perished on the spot. The entire length of
the foot of the original must have been 16 inches, and
its gN atest breadth 18 inches, writ the height of the bird
nearly 10 feet. Some extensive caverns, lined with eta
lactites, have been discovered in the North Island, arid

are said to contain bones of the Moa and other animal=.
Among the rock specimens, are masses of Hayssen-,
containing fossils like those of the English chalk, and
the stone itself is almost wholly composed of fossil ani-
malcules, like that of Dover.
SCENE NETWEEN MR. RAMSHAY AND MR. BARON
ALDERSON.—In a trial at Lancaster last week, fir an
alleged robbery of a man by an abandoned woman, a
stormy altercation arose between Mr. Ratnshay and the
Learned Judge, of which a Lancaster contemporary gives
the following account:—A question asked by Mr. Ram-
shay of the prosecutor relative to the place whither
he accompanied the prisoner his Lordship characterised
as " studiously ambiguous," and this firmed a series of
wranglings until the ease was completed. His Lordship
asking Mr. Ramshay, " for Heaven's sake to go on or
else go out of court," and Mr. Rawabay rejoined
that he had as " much right in that court as his Lord-
ship, and he would not go out," as well as a• per-
fect ctaos of "I have my rights as well as your Lord-
ship," " now go on Mr. Ramshay," " not while I am in-
terrupted, my Lord," ensued. In addressing the jury,
for the defence, Mr. Ramshay alluded to the allega-
tion of " studiously ambiguous question," and
denied that he had ever asked a question of
that character in his life, and he felt called upon, as
a barrister of some standing on that circuit, to repel
the imputation. Mr. Baron Alderson said he did nut
intend to use the word offensively. Mr. Ramshay—lt
cannot but be offensive. His Lordship—Well, if you
won't take any explanation, I can't help it. Mr.
Rainshay, in continuing his address, said that a
person who could use "studiously ambiguous" ques-
tions was unfit to move in society. Reverting
to the case, and the question which had pro-
voked the expression, he remarked that his Lership and
Mr. Milne might rake up the filthy details of the case,
but he would not. Mr. Baron Alderson (repeating
the words, " his lordship and Mr. Milne may rake up
the filthy details of the case"): You have no right to
insult me. I bog to say that I will not submit
to :Any such insults. Mr. Ramshay : It was not
intended, your Lordship, as an insMt but a proper
belief upon the fact.— In resuming his address', he
told the jury that if they entertained any doubt whether
the money had been feloniously obtained, they were to
stick to that doubt, sehatever was said by anybody. His
Lordship, in summing up, commented on this expres-
sion, and the course pursued by Mr. Ramshay, which he
attributed to his being in ill health. Aftsr a short de-
liberation the jury acquitted the prisoner.
SUPPOSED HICURWAY ROBBERY NEAR BARNSLEY.—

Yesterday (Friday) Inspector M•Mullin brought four pri-
soners up at the Borough Court (two men and two young
females) whomhe had apprehended on the previous after-

noon, on suspicion, as we Understood, of beit:g concerned in
a highway robbery near Barnsley, in Yorkshire. On Thurs-
day afternoon information was sent to the Town-hall
that the two wt men were trying to get change for
a si. note c f the Wakefield and Barnsley Union Bank,
at a shop in Deansgwe, and M`Mullin was sent to
make inquiries as to how the women became pos-
sessed of the note. From their statement the
officer hurried off to a public-house, where he found
the two men waiting who had promised the women
10=. for getting the note changed, and on his seiz:ng
them, one dropped there other Si. ni.t.'s of the 5t11330
bank under the chair on which he st:t. On M`Mulliti's
statieg that it was Barnsley Fair on Wednesday, and that
he had reason to believe the notes were the produce of
a robbery committed there, Mr. Maude remanded the
prisoners until Monday next. Both men describe them-
selves as weavers from Barnsley.—lllanchester Courier.
INTERESTING ARRIVAL FROM ITALY.—It having
been represewed to the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury that by a steamer exptcted daily
to arrive at Liverpool from the Mediterranean, a
package has been shipped at Leghorn, containing a
work purporting to be the original design in oil by
Michael Angelo, of the painting of the Last Judp,-
ment, executed by that eminent master in the Sistine
Chapel at Rome, and that it is desired, in considera-
tion of the great value of this work, assuming that its
authenticity can be satisfactorily established, to avoid
the risk of injury which the process of opening for tl:e
purpose of examinalion and re-packing in Liverpool
would involve, their Lordships have been pita,,ed to
direct that, under the p;-culiar circumstances of the ease,
and in consideration of the great probable value of ti,e
contents of the package, it may be forwarded, under
official seals, to London, as desired.

We are happy to state that Mr. Finch Noyes, who
lately met with an accident while hunting, is recovering,
and is considered out cf danger by his medical attendant.
—Salisbury Herald.

A little neat church has been erected at Morkton
Wyld, one of the outlying hamlets of the ext3nsive pa-
rish of Whitchurch Canonicorum, near Bridport, which
will shortly be consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Salis-
bury, for the several offices of religious worshir.—Sulis-
bury Herold.

FIRE NEAR SPITALFIELDS CHURCll.—Yesterday
(Monday) morning a fire, which caused great alarm, and
was attended with considerable damage, occurred in the
premises belonging to Mr. J. N. Thompson, a wholesale
and export shoe• manufacturer,` No. 8, Church-street,
Spitalfields, a few doors from the parish church.infor-
mation being sent to the proper quarters, a strong body
of police arrived, and two engines belonging to the
parish, with four more of the London fire establishment.
The mains afforded an abundant supply of water, from
which the parish engineer and London brigademen set
to work, but in spite of their most st►enuous exertions
the flames could not be got out until the lower part of
the premises was gutted and the upper part severely in-
jured. Mr. Thompson was insured in the Sun and
Anchor fire-offices.

The following is the correct list of the gentlemen
who are promoted to the rank of Queen's Couraci!:—
Messrs. Peacock, Edwin James Prendergast, 0 2dallc3,
noggins, Macaulay, Townsend, Greaves, Bliss, Grainger,
and Carpenter Rowe.
CANTERBURY ELECTION.—This election took place
yesterday shortly after ten o'clock. There being no
other candidate Colonel Romilly was declared duly
elected, having been proposed by Alderman Neame, and
seconded by Mr. Brent, jun.
COURT or BANKRUPTCY.—The continued absence
cf Mr. Commissioner Shepherd from his court for a
period of three months, in consequence of illness and
infirmities, has given rise to an expectation that the
Learned Gentleman will not again resume his seat on
the judicial bench. In the event of his resignation it is
understood that the appointment will not be filled up,
but that the number of courts will be reduced to five, in
which case a saving of about 3,000/. a year will at once
be effected. One of the practical inconveniences to
bankrupts and creditors, consequent upon the protracted
absence of any one commissioner is, that a bankrupt's
examinations almost invariably take place before one
commissioner, and the hearing of his application for a
certificate before another. In some cases adjournments
of meetings take place, with a view to obviate this ob-
jection, but such adjournments are necessarily attended
with inconvenience to bankrupts and all other parties
concerned.

MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR AND THE LAND SCHEME.
—Oa Sunday last Mr. O'Connor, Mr. Clarke, and Mr.
Magrath attended a meeting a the members of this con-
cern, in the people's Institute, Ancoats, Manchester. Mr.
O'Connor entered into a lengthened explanation of the
various proceedings which have recently t ken place
with reference to this plan, and, after detailing the
facts, assured the members present that the whole of
the money subscribed should be refunded—every member
should have the lull 20e. in the pound paid. This
statement was received with much chering. Ho also
added, that the Committee of the House of Commons
had reported in favour of his being allowed to wind up
the affairs of the company without being charged the
usual expenses in such cases. During ,the day a sub-
scription was made towards defraying the expenses of
the late trial, which amounted to 10/. 2s. 6d. The pro-
ceedings terminated at a late hour.
MARISCHAL COLLEGE, ABERDEEN.—The un-
wonted excitement which has attended the present
election, terminated yesterday, in the triumphant elec-
tion of Sheriff Gordon, by large majorities, in the whole of
the nations, to the seat which he has so worthily occupied
during the past year. The meeting in the public hall
yesterday was, as usual, opened with a Latin prayer by
the Principal, after which Professor Cruickshank
ordered the various nations to their respective halls.
The following statement of the result has been furnished
to us:—For Sheriff Gordon 136; for Carlyle 34. Pro-
curators unanimous for Sheriff Gordon.—Aberdeen
Herald.
THE JOURNEYMEN TAILORS OF LONDON.--Yes-
terday a general meeting of master tailors was held at
Freemasons' Tavern, to adopt measures for the allevia-
tion of the distress under which so large a number of
journeymen are suffering. Most of the principal firms
were represented. Mr. Cartwright presided. Several
gentlemen addressed the meeting in support of the
resolutions brought forward. The speakers attributed
the existing distress, and the moral and social
degradation of journeymen tailors, to the practice
which prevailed in many establishments of giving out-
door work. The prices given, especially to the women
employed, were scarcely sufficient to keep them from
starvation. Instances were adduced of individuals who
