LAW. INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Jun. 30.
(Sittings in Banco.)
DOS %NQUEX V. GRAHAM.
. .

This was the case in which the London and Westminster
Bank were plaintiffs, and the South Western District Bank
defendants, and which has been so often before the Court.
The defendant Graham was the public officer of the latter
bank, and hi such capacity had executed a warrant of at-
torney to the plaintiff; on which judgment had been entered
up. A rule nisi had been obtained to set it aside, and the
Court had directed an issue to be tried, in order to ascertain
the facts of the case. That issue had been found for plaintiff.
A new trial had been applied for and refused. So that every
question had been decided in favour of plaintiff.
The Attorney-General. this morning, applied to the Court
to discharge the "rule_ nisi, to set aside the judgment as
against his client, Mr. Graham, with costs.—The Court
granted the application.
INFORMATION.—THE QUEEN V. lIAMPDEN.
In this case a rule nisi had been obtained for a criminal
information against the defendant, under the following cir-
cumstances. 111 r. Evton, the applicant, and defendant, were
both gentlemen of fortune, residing in Warwickshire, and
had at one time been intimately acquainted. At
length the attentions of Mr. Hampden to Mrs. Eyton be-
came very"marked, and that lady complained to her husband
of 'Mr. Hampden's conduct, and Mr. Eyton remonstrated
with him, but Mr. Hampden continued to annoy the lady,
and the consequence was a fracas between the parties, and
the application- by Mr. Hampden of the terms liar and
coward to Mr. Eyton. Some time since a portrait painter at
Leamington had taken Mr. Eyton's portrait, and had, with
Mr. Eyton's permission, exhibited it at the News-rooms, as
a specimen of his talents. Shortly afterwards Mr. Iteeves,
the keeper of the rooms, received an anonymous letter,
stating that he was likely to do an injury to his business by
publicly exhibiting in his rooms the portrait of a man who
had suffered himself publicly to be called a liar and coward.
Mr. Eyton then applied for a criminal information against
defendant,. alleging in his affidavit that he believed defendant
was the writer of the letter. Several other persons who had
seen it declared their belief that it was defendant's writing.
Mr. THESIGER this morning showed cause against the rule,
and read the affidavit of the defendant, distinctly denying
that he was the writer of the letter.

Lord Dk:N.likN--Where.the question is one of simple fact,
and that fact is distinctly denied, the Court, I believe, never
interferes by criminal int'ormation. It is a matter to go to a
grand jury.
Mr. KELLY, in suppport of the rule., argued that notwith-
standing a denial of a fact by the party accused, vet the
Court could interfere if the case were one in which there was
, strong probability that the charge was true.
Lord DENst.tx said that in such a case the Court might
poSsiblv interfere, but in the present case the matter was of
to little importance for the time of the Court to be wasted
by going into a minute inquiry on the subject.. The rule must
be discharged, but without costs.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. MI
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CLARKE.
Mr. JEnvis (with whom. was Mr. Erie and Mr. Wylde)
moved for a rule to call upon the Attorney-General to show
cause why the verdict found for the Crown should not be set
aside and entered for the defendant..
It appeared that the defendant entered for exportation a
large quantity of foreign wines at less than their real value,
which subjected the wines to forfeiture to the Crown, and
they were accordingly removed to the Queen's warehouse,
where they now are.
Mr. WARREN showed cause against the informality of
seizure on the ground on which the verdict was sought to be
set aside. The arguments on both sides were of a technical
character, and occupied the attention of the Court the whole
of the morning.—Judgment deferred.

CUSTOMS.-PASSENGERS'
• BAGGAGE.
The Board having had under consideration the regulations
which were adopted last summer at the Baggage Warehouse,
Fresh-wharf, London-bridge, in regard to the landing, exa-
mining, and delivering of passengers' baggage; and a Com-
mittee of the Board, on the waterside and warehousing de-
partments, after having conferred with several officers, having
represented that the regulations have fully answered the
purpose contemplated, and recommended that they may be
permanently adopted, and extended to the several other
baggage stations; it has been resolved that the recommen-
dation of the Committee is approved, and ordered that the
same be adopted accordingly...
The following is the principal portion of the regulations
referred to :-
1. That a certain label or ticket be affixed, with paste or •
gum, to each package of baggage by weighers, under the
directions of the baggage officers, as it is received into the
warehouse, such label or tickets being numbered progres- •
sively,.from one upwards, with the name of the ship and date
of landing. '
2. That so soon as the whole of the packages are deposited
in the warehouses and labelled, the examining officer do im-
mediately count the same, in order to ascertain that the
number received do correspond with the highest progressive
number upon the labels affixed, and thereupon enter the
total number in the baggage book.
3. That each. weigher, assisting in the examination of
baggage, be provided with a pocket slate, to take down the
name of the passengers, and the numbers upon the labels of
each of the packages belonging thereto, which the landing
waiter is to enter in the proper column of his ledger, before
he proceeds with the examination.
4. That upon the examination of each package being
completed, and recorded by the landing waiter, the label be
thrthwith stamped by him in red ink, "Examined." with a
stamp, to bo furnished for that purpose, having the niune of
the station thereon.
5. That a numerical sheet, printed in red ink, be supplied
to the officer stationed at the door, and also a stamp marked
"delivered," with which he is, in black ink, to stamp that
part of the label previously stamped by the examining
officer, in order that it may not be again used, and then
stamp the number in his numerical sheet, corresponding with
that upon the label affixed to the package, taking care that
he does not allow any package to pass without being duly
labelled and stamped.
6. That. the examining officer do enjoin the officers acting
as constables, or door-keepers, not to allow any package to
pass out, upon which the label affixed thereto does not bear
the impression of two stamps, as required by these regulations.
These regulations will have the effect of affording greater
security to the baggage of passengers arriving from the Con-
tinent by steam-vessels at all hours. Steamers, as is per-
fectly-well known, very frequently arrive in the middle of
the night., and even when they arrive in the day time, there
is, particularly in, the summer season, a great number of
loungers always collected at the steam-wharfs, some of them
not of the very best character, and therefore this order will,
in fact, be a boon to travellers, in consequence of the sur-
veillance which will be exercised ha- the officers of the Cus-
toms, and of the consequent additional security afforded to
their property. "We have frequently heard complaints of
delay in the delivery of baggage, parties saying that they
are not attended to in their proper turns, &c. This will be
remedied by the new regulations, which are extended to, and
in operation at all the steam-wharfs. Some persons do not
wish to take their baggage away with them, and are satis-
fied, on being assured of its being secure, to receive it on
the following day;. but to many it is of great importance
that they receive their baggage and effects as quickly as pos-
sible; to those we would suggest, that their object would be •
gained, if they were to take care that their baggage is placed
as nearlyat the top of the hold of the ship as possible, on their •
embarking fcr this country, as on the arrival of the vessel, •
the packages are taken out in rotation, .hoisted into the ex-
amining floor, ticketed as stated above, and delivered to the
owners accordingly.

BOULOGNE AND CALAIS.--During the week end-
ing the 26th inst., the number of persons who embarked or -
diemba!ked from and for England were—At Boulogne, 624;
at
.Calais, 234—total, 858. The proprietors of the Dover '
Railway have, during the last week, entered into an arrange-
ment with the authorities, by which travellers coming from
France in the packets may immediately receive their lug- -
gage, so as to be enabled to proceed to London by.the next
train after their arrival, instead of, as hitherto, being com-
pelled to wait some hours for the
passage of parcels and
goods through the Custom-house. The charge for this addi-
tional accommodation is Is. per parcel above the weight of
56 lb. and for smaller parcels Gd. each.
We understand that on Saturday, the operative
cottOn-spioners of this city and neighbourhood gave, pretty
generally, a notice of a demand for an advance of 10 per -
cent on their wages. It- is uncertain whether the deniand
;will be complied with ; but if not a turn-out is extremely
probable.—Glasgow Argus of itiOnday.
