This was an action of covenant, to recover

was run on the 22d or 23d of May, and the Tuesday
following would be settling-day. The defendant is
still porter at the Union, and I still manage his bet-
ting business. He keeps a betting list. lam not
secretary to any one else. I have not any other busi-
ness except what Ido in the betting line myself. I
am not a member of Tattersall's. My salary is a
per-tentage. It is very hard for me to say what I do
get. I have never reckoned it up. Any one who
goes into our office may stake his money according to
the list, and we undertake to pay if the horse wins.
The defendant keeps lists in the Vauxhall-road, and
at the Star and Garter, in Green-street. The odds
upon Bolingbroke are just what you please to give.
The person who keeps the list pays the money if the
horse wins, without regard to any person who makes
the bet.

Re-examined—lf the 101. had been paid upan this
bet it would have appeared in my ledger.
Two notices from the plaintiff to the defendant
were put in calling upon the defendant to produce an
order for the payment of 1001., signed by Arbuthnct,
and also the defendant's betting-book and betting-
lists.

A letter from the plaintiff to the defendant was put

in wherein the plaintiff said, " I am sorry to say I
must have the money before four o'clock to-day, or
apply to Mr. A. for it."
Mr. WATSON then addressed the jury in reply,
urging upon them that there was no evidence to sup-
port the defendant's plea, and calling upon them to
give a verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr. Justice ERLE having summed up,
The jury retired, but at length gave a verdict for
the defendant.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Jan. 16.
(Before the RECORDER and a Special Jury.)
THE GOVERNOR, AND CORPORATION OF ST. THOMAS'S
HOSPITAL V. THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF

LONDON.
This was an inquiry to assess the amount of corn•
pensation to be paid to the claimants in respect o
certain property situate in Queen-street and Maiden.
lane, Cheapside, which the City Corporation required
under the provisions of the City Improvements Act,
to carry out certain improvements in the City.
Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Laurie, and M.
Locke for the plaintiffs; the Attorney-General and
Mr. Ryland for the City.
Sir FREDERICK TnEsIGER, in opening the case,
explained to the jury the nature of the inquiry, and
the provisions of the Act of Parliament which gave
the City authorities power to take possession of any
property that stood in the way of any improvements
they were carrying into effect in the City, and then
proceeded to state the circumstances cif the case
The property in question was a large warehouse,
No. 60, Queen-street, Cheapside, having a frontage
also in Maiden-lane. The ground on which the
premises were erected was given to the Corpo-
ration of St. Thomas's hospital in the year 1665,
and in 1828 there was an agreement entered into
between the treasurer to the hospital and a Mr.
Johnstone, to the effect that if Johnstone erected a
warehouse thereon a lease for 61 years would be
granted, binding the tenant to pay a ground rent of
40/ a year, and at the expiration of the term to
deliver up the premises in a substantial state of re-
pair. Johnstone built the warehouse, and the claim-
ants granted a lease on the before-mentioned terms to
a Mr. Rolt, and as at the present time that lease had
rather more than 40 years to run, there would be but
little difficulty as to the sum the claimants were en-
titled to recover. The difficult point to be decided by
the jury arose from the wide difference of opinion
that existed amongst the professional men who had
been engaged in the matter, as to the value at the
present time of the reversionary interest in the pro-
perty to the hospital, when the term would expire in
1890, and the jury would hear, from the witnesses
he should call, that the property was of such a cha-
racter, so substantially built and so well situated for
the purposes of trade and traffic, that there could be
no doubt that the property in 1890 would command a
rent of 210/. a year, after deducting the ground-rent
and land-tax. The sum the claimants asked for was
about 2,700/., and if the City Corporation had acted upon
a right data in giving Rolt, the leaseholder, the sum of
3,700/. for his interest in the property, they could
not resist the demand of the claimants, which had
been estimated on the very principle which the C)r-
poration had adopted in Rolt's case. This was not
the case of a willing dealer disposing of his property,
for the governors of the hospital had no power
whatever to dispose of the property under their con-
trol, but the property was compulsorily wrested from
them by the provisions of the Act of Parliament ; and,
therefore, juries in such cases did not estimate in golden
measure the compensation to be awarded. The City
Corporation had offered 2,000/., but it had been de
clined, and not from any personal feeling, but in pur-
suance of what they considered their duty as guar-
dians of this valuable charity, which had 450 indoor
and 30,000 out-patients in the year. They had de-
clined to refer the matter to arbitration, and came
before a jury to obtain the full value of the property.
By an Act of Parliament, the claimants were em-
powered to invest the money they would receive in
land or any other valuable securities, as a Master in
Chancery should approve of ; and he hoped the jury
would give a verdict for such sums as would place
hem in possession of as good a property as the one

damages fur an alleged breach, in practising as a
surgeon and apothecary, within seven miles of High-
town, near Bradford, Yorkshire. The defendant paid
50/. into court, and denied that the plaintiff was en-
titled to any further compensation by reason of the
alleged breach of covenant.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, with Mr. H. Hill, appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Atherton for the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence that in the latter
part of 1847 the defendant, who had practised for
nearly thirty years as a surgeon at Ilightown, was
inclined to retire from business, and agreed with the
plaintiff to introduce him to his patients, and assist
him in the conduct of his business for twelve months,
for a consideration of 4001., and at the expiration of
that period to retire from the business altogether, and
cease to practice within seven miles of Hightown.
These terms were embodied in a farmal deed,
executed by both parties. The plaintiff now com-
plained that the defendant had not fulfilled any of the
covenants contained in the agreement, and that he
had violated it especially by continuing to attend
some wealthy patients at Hightown, and prescribing
f;r them after the expiration of the year. The pre-
scriptions given by the defendant to these patients
were made up at a chemist's in the town, so that the
plaintiff, it was represented, lost materially in both
branches of his business. The fact that the defendant
had visited and prescribed for patients residing at
Hightown, after he had transferred the business to
the plaintiff, was proved by admissions made by the
defendant to two of the witnesses. It appeared that
when the defendant entered into the agreement with
the plaintiff, he was in such an indifferent state of
health that he apprehended he should be unequal to
attend to his profession, but that his health having
been subsequently re-established, he thought himself
justified in resuming his practice, as he had a wife
and large family.
It was now contended, on the part of the defen-
dant, that the sum paid into court was a sufficient
compensation for any injury the plaintiff had really
sustained.

they were called upon to give up.
Mr. Tite, the architect, was then called, and he
stated that at the expiration of the term of the lease
the freehold would be worth 5,6001., and the value of
the reversion forty years hence to that sum was worth
in present money 1,6381. The present value of the
ground-rent he estimated at 940/, making in round
numbers a total of 2,600/. If the hospital obtained
this sum, he was of opinion that it would not be in
SO advantageous a position, with reference to the ulti-
mate benefit, as it would be if the property was left
undisturbed. _ _

Several other gentlemen of eminence in their pro-
fession were examined, who estimated the value of
the property at sums varying from 2,4331. to 2,7451.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having addressed the
jury in mitigation of damages, called several sur-
veyors and others, who estimated the property at from
1,4501. to 1,6001.
The RECORDER then summed up very shortly,
when the jury gave a verdict for the claimants—
Damages, 2,300/.
ARCHER AND OTHERS V. THE SAME.
This was a like claim on behalf of the parish of St.
Martin, Vintry, for property situated in the same
locality.
A verdict was taken by consent for 2,1001.

The jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 3001.

defendant,
the acceptance by the defendant was proved. The
plaintiff was a tradesman in tilonduit-street.
Mr. CHAMBERS, in addressing the
jury for the de-
fendant, said the facts were; that Mr. Arbuthnot was
a " levanter ;" he " levanted" shortly after the Derby.
The defendant was but a porter iat the Union Club,
and he had what was called a commission betting-
book. There was a rule upon the turf, that if a
" levanter" would not pay he could not expect bets
to be paid to him. If this had been referred
to the Jockey Club, they would have said the
defendant was right in refusing to pay. The real
defence wa', that this was a betting transaction.
Surplice was about to run for the Derby, and was
backed by Demonte Arbuthnot, and he took the bet of
10 to 1 against that horse. Surplice ran, and won ;
and, before the settling day arrived, this abominable
eourse was taken :—Arbuthnot, perfectly conscious
he could not appear on the settling day, proceeded,
through the instrumentality of Hay, :the plaintiff, to
threathen the defendant that unless he instantly paid
the 1001. application would be made to the Union
Club to discharge the plaintiff from his situation of
porter at that club, and, under the pressure of that
threat, the defendant bad given the bill for 1001. It
was, therefore, clear that the original bill was
given in payment for the bet. Fite plaintiff had been
to the person who acted for the defendant, and told
him he wanted 1001. for this bet which Arbuthnot
had won from the defendant. The plaintiff had been
aware of the nature of the debt for which the bill was
given. It was well known that a jockey never
betted, but he had generally a considerable stake in
the race, and sometimes, by a sort of paralytic motion
of the arm, he pulled in his horse when he ought to
have let him go. The truth was he had betted by
commission against the horse he rode, and the defen-
dant carried on that business of betting by commis-
sion. Proof would be given of these facts, and then
the defendant would be entitled to a verdict.
Charles Sanders—l know the defendant. He was
waiter or porter at the Union Club. He was in the
habit of betting. I am secretary to the defendant.
He had a betting-book on the Derby of 1848. Ar-
buthnot was a member of the Union Club. I kept the
defendant's betting-book. Surplice ran for the Derby,
and won. I know the plaintiff. I have had the
pleasure of seeing him. I saw him after the Derby
day, and after settling-day. The plaintiff was at the
' Star and Garter, Green-street, Leicester-square. He
asked for the defendant, who was not there. I asked
him if his business was private, or for betting, and
he said it was for a bet. I asked, upon what horse ;
he said, Surplice. I then searched the defendant's
, book, and said there was no such bet. The plaintiff
said, Arbuthnot had taken the bet for him, and if he
did not pay him, or give some satisfaction, Arbuthnot
was a member of the club, and he would get him out
'of his situation. I said, "You must do your best and
your worst." He told me there was 100 to 10 to pay
on Surplice. He then went away. I told the plain-
tiff that Arbuthnot was a defaulter, and that that was
what gave him the " tip" to go away. I saw the
plaintiff again in July ; we said nothing on the sub-
ject ; but he told me had got satisfaction, but he did
. not say how. I have never seen these bills.

COURT OF INLAND REVENUE, Jan. 16
(Before H. F. STEPHENSON, Ecq.; C. J. HERRIES,
Esq.; and CHARLES PRESSLEY, Esq.

THE QUEEN V. DUREL.
Richard Durel, of West-street, Bethnal-green,
was charged on an informatinn, with removing
spirits, with intent to defraud her Majesty of the
duty thereon.
Mr. Benjamin John Elmy deposed that he was an
officer of Excise, and on the 10th of August last he
was in the company of Mr. Robert East, another
officer, in the City-road, when he saw the defendant
and his wife just before them, going towards Isling-
ton. He followed, and on coming up to them, ob-
served the defendant to turn his head, and heard him
say something to his wife, who had a bundle on her
arm, which was partly covered over by the ends of
her shawl. Witness went up to her and said, " I
believe, Madam, that you have got illicit spirits
there." She replied, " Indeed I have not, sir."
Witness, however, observed a working of her
right arm, as if she was in the act of probing some-
thing, and immediately afterwards observed that a
wetness appeared on the pavement, which smelled
strongly of spirits. Upon this he attempted to pull
the bundle away from her, when he was seized from
behind by the defendant, who caught hold of witness's
arms and endeavoured to pinion him. Failing in this,
he attempted to crush the parcel between his hands.
He also warded off blows aimed at him, and ran up
to a shop with the bundle to secure it, and to prevent
the spirits being entirely spilled. Mr. East secured
the female, and showed him a knife that was taken
open out of her hand. lie succeeded in saving one
gallon and nearly one quart of the spirits contained in
a bladder. They were illicit, or had been privately
distilled. He could speak positively that they were
illicit, having had great experience in such matters.
The defendant and his wife both gave fictitious names.
On searching the defendant two books were found on
him, showing that within a short period he had disposed
of upwards of 800 gallons of spirits, the amount of
duty upon which, and of which the Crown had been
defrauded, was 500/.
After some further proceedings,
The Court said they must give judgment against
the defendant in the full penalty of 1001.
Benjamin Meakin, of No. 31, Star-street, Com-
mercial-road East, was charged with having in his
possession and with working an illicit still.
The COURT convicted him in the penalty of 50/.,
with condemnation of the seizure.
William Kynaston, of Winchester-street, Bethnal-
green, was charged with retailing malt and spirituous
liquors without licence.
F
From the evidence of two constables of the K di-
vision it appeared that the defendant was detected
selling beer and spirituous liquors at Fairlop Fair on
the 18th of July last.
The defendant altogether denied the charge, but
The COURT convicted him in the penalty f 205.,
with a caution for his future conduct.

to-disgorge it. They were both known to the officers
under a variety of names, and had been for many
years not oily practising the art themselves, but

The prisoners said it was unfortunately usual with
officers of the Meedicity Society to calumniate those
they apprehended for being poor, by stating that
poor people were enemies to work, so that there was
no use in resisting or contradicting them.
The prisoners were committed to hard labour, as
rogues and vagabonds, each for six weeks.
Catherine Wilson was charged with having robbed
her mistress of a gold ring and some articles of plate.
The prisoner, the wife ;of an Irish tailor, who is
employed by one of the great houses at the east-end,
and works in a room in which many others in the
same service are employed, had been confilentielly
treated by her mistress, but as articles daily disap-
peared from the house, Davis, the officer, was sent
for, and informed of the fact. His suspicions fell
upon the prisoner, who had never been suspected by
the family, but who endeavoured to fix the guilt upon
a poor laundress, who, if it had not been for the
officer, would have been formerly charged with the
ofihnee. The ring and other property were subt-
quently found at the shop of a pawnbroker in which
they had been pledged by her.
The husband of the prisoner, upon being called by
Alderman Humeneay, and questioned as to the gene-
ral conduct of his wife, said—" I married her a few

was honest, or sure enough I wouldn't have married

was returned against the farmer and his wife, and he

was a mass of wounds, bruises, abscesses, and cats, from
whips, sticks, &c.; and the deceased was reduced to 01

Greenwood, Esq., and in the occupation of Mr. vas Oa'
Trees, was discovered to be on fire, and so rapi.d*:

part of the property was issuree.—Lodi Paper

Mr. Henry Phillip Picot, landlord of the Red Lion
public-house, Fleet-lane, said, that the prisoner had
been in his service about six months, when on the
morning of the 11th September, between the hours
of two and three o'clock, he was awoke by a police-
man, who had found the front door open. At that
time the prisoner was waiter, and on searching the
house with the police, it was discovered that he had
gone, after breaking open some drawers in a room
behind the bar, and taking the property already
named, since which he had not been seen.
Robert Lilley, 344, deposed to receiving the pri-
soner in custody from the prosecutor, in Fleet-street,
but found nothing relative to the missing property,
either on his person, or at his lodgings in Black
Horse-yard, Maize-pond.
George Betson, 277, said that on the 11th of Sep-
tember, about three o'clock in the morning, he tound
Mr. Picot's door open, and having made him aware of
the fact, he (witness) went into the prisoner's bed-
room, but found no one there. Oa examining
the bar and the room behind it, Mr. Picot declared
he was robbed. At about half-past one o'clock the
same morning he saw the prisoner standing in his
shirt-sleeves at his master's door. He said that his
master was not at home, and he and the housekeeper
were waiting up for him. There was a light in the
bar, and after the prisoner went in he proceeded en
his beat, and saw no more of him. There was a chest
of drawers in a room behind the bar, and one of the
drawers had a mark upon it, as if it had been at-
tempted to be opened.
William Price, of the Surrey-road, waterman, said
that he knew the prisoner, and saw him on Saturday
week, when he asked witness if he would deliver a
message from him to Mr. Picot. He consented to do
so, and the prisoner told him to go and say that, if
prosecutor would give a f',.w lines under his hand that
he would forgive him, and say nothing about the
affair, the property should be restored. Witness went
to Mr. Picot, who said he would do nothing of the
sort. He told the prisoner the answer he had received,
and the previous night Jameswent and looked in at the
prosecutor's window, was recognised, and given into
custody.
Mr. Picot said he was not away from the house as
the prisoner represented to the officer, but, on the
contrary, he saw all perfectly safe by half-past twelve
o'clock.
G. Wardle, 221, produced a plumber's rough knife,
he had received from the prosecutor on the 11th of
September, and on comparing it with the marks on the
drawers, they exactly corresponded. In consequence
of information he received, he went to Mr. Harding's,
a pawnbroker, in York-street, Westminster, and found
that the missing property had been pledged there fdr
eight shillings.
David Nicholls, assistant to Mr. Harding, the
pawnbroker, produced the flute, handkerchief, and
silver mounted snuff-box, which were pledged in the
name of Thomas Adams, on the 11th of September
(the day of the robbery) but by whom he could not
tell, for the young man who took them in had left
Mr. Harding's service, and was not to be found.
Mr. Picot identified the articles, and said he had
been obliged to give twelve shillings as compensation
to the owner of the flute. The property was all safe
when he went to bed.
Alderman WILSON remanded the prisoner until
Monday next, for further evidence.
LAMBETH.
Alfred England was placed at the bar, before Mr.
Norton, and charged on suspicion with the commis-
sion of the following daring robbery :
Mr. Samuel Miller, a watch-maker and jeweller
at 6, Robinson-place, Kennington-road, opposite one
of the entrances to this court, deposed, that on the
preceding evening, at about a quarter to seven o'clock
while engaged in his shop, he observed a person
standing outside, on the pavement, whose face was
close to the window, and in a few seconds after a large
square of plate-glass was smashed by that person. He
(Mr. Miller) instantly rushed round his counter, and
endeavoured to get out, but found that the door was
fastened on the outside, so that a minute or two elapsed
before he succeeded in opening it sufficiently wide
to force himself out, and at that time the person had
got some distance up Penton-place. Ile followed,
and called out " Stop thief!" as loud as he could, but
the party escaped. On an examination of the pro-
perty in the window he found that 1 gold Geneva
watch, and 7 or 8 silver watches, 4 gold Albert chains,
3 gold curb chains, and other property to the amount
of from 451. to 501. had been stolen. The prisoner he
be believed to be the person who had broken the glass
and stolen the property, but he should not like to
swear positively to his identity.
Mr. NORTON—Had you a good light in your shop
at the time ?
Mr. Miller—Yes, Sir, there were two glaring
lights in the window, and I had a perfect opportu-
nity of seeing the man's face just before the glass was
broken. I also had an oportunity of seeing him a
second time, while he was engaged in securing the
property, and while I was endeavouring to force the
door open, and believe him to be the person. I have
also had him placed, since his apprehension, in the
same position in which I saw the person just before
the robbery, and his countenance and height corre-
spond so exactly with him that I believe it to be the
same.
Mr. NORTON—You have stated that your shop-
door was so closed that you could not get out; how was
that ?
