SMITHFIELD.

The supply of Beasts was very limited, owing to which,
and the large attendance of buyers, the Beef trade was active,
at an advance on Monday's quotations of 2d. per Ms. The
fresh arrivals consisted of sixty Scots, by sea, from Aberdeen.
The numbers of Sheep were only moderate, while the sale
for them was steady, at very full prices. Although the
supply of Lambs was good, the trade was decidedly brisk,
and the currencies had an upward tendency. In Calves, a
good business was doing, at an advance of 4d. per 81bs. Pigs
moved off slowly, at late rates. Mulch Cows were quoted at
161. to 191. each, including their small cal£
Per 81bs. to sink the offal.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
STRATFORD V. FLIGHT.
This case came before the Court upon an application to
dissolve an injunction obtained by the plaintiff, restraining
the defendant from proceeding at law upon two bills of ex-
change for 1,0001. each. The case having stood over for
judgment until this morning,
His HONOUR (addressing Mr. Bethell) said—l have care-
fully read over the defendant's answer, and the whole of the
proceedings in " Stratford v. Flight," and I am of opinion
that there is no equity in the plaintiff's bill as against the
defendant. The order for dissolving the injunction obtained
against the defendant must therefore be made absolute.
Mr. BETHELT—If your Honour pleases.
[We regret having made some observations the other day
which were founded on an erroneous report of the transac-
tions in this case. It will be seen by the above that the Vice-
Chancellor has given his judgment this morning entirely in
the defendant's favour.—En. Sun.]
(Before Sir JAMES WIGRAM.)
• BENSON V. HADFIELD.
In this case, which had stood over from the 3d of June
his Honour gave judgment this morning. It was a suit
brought by the acting Directors of the Bahia Steam Naviga-
tion Company against the house of Hadfield and Co., of
Liverpool and Bahia, to have the accounts taken of the trans-
actions in which the defendants had been engaged, as their
agents in South America.
His HONOUR said he had reserved his judgment upon two
points only. The first was, whether the plaintiffs properly
represented the partnership of which they were the mem-
bers; confining himself upon this point to the objection sup-
posed to arise out of the circumstance that,'during the course
of the transactions out of which the suit had arisen, there
had been only four instead of six directors of the company,
six being the number required by the partnership deed, and
there were only four directors, parties to the suit at the time
when the bill was filed. There was no suggestion that the
constitution of the company in that respect had been altered
since the filing of the bill. Upon this point he thought the
objection ought not to prevail. Adverting to the circum-
stances under which the affairs of the company were carried
on since the reduction of the number of directors,
he could not, in favour of a stranger to the company, who,
had had dealings with it, hold that the company was not
well represented for the purposes of the present suit. The
second question was, whether Mr. Wood, formerly a partner
in the house of Armando, Hadfield, and Company, was liable
in respect to transactions which occurred prior to his retire-
ment from the firm. This question divided itself into two
parts; first, whether he had become discharged altogether,
upon an agreement expressed or implied on the part of the
company, who took the new instead of the old firm as their
creditors ; and, secondly, whether, if Mr. Wood were not so
discharged, he could object to the bill. The former of these
questions was to be tried strictly upon the rule of plead-
ing with evidence. In deciding this question, it
was most material to look to the form of pleading.
In this case, the defendant had not pleaded any such agree-
ment; he merely set forth his retirement from the company
in March in ,1840, and stated that notice of his retirement,
as well as notice of the incoming of two new partners had
been given. His Honour, after referring to the pleadings,
said it was impossible that, upon a full consideration of them,
he could hold that Mr. Wood was entitled to a decree, dis-
charging him from his liability. The second question was,
that respecting multifariousness. When the bill was filed,
the defendant put in a demurrer for multifariousness, on the
ground that he had no concern with the transactions of the
firm since his retirement. Lord Langdale, before whom the
demurrer was argued, allowed the demurrer, observing at the
same time, that there might be such a connection between
the new and the old dealings as to give the plaintiff a right
to bring Mr. Wood before the Court, in order that the entire
case might be taken in one suit. With regard to the ques-
tion whether he was to discharge Mr. Wood or not,
the case was this. Upon the accounts which had
been produced, and upon the case alleged in
the bill, it might turn out that Mr. Wood was properly
a defendant on the record. From the accounts which he had
seen, it was quite impossible that he could hold that the bill
was multifarious, as against Mr. Wood, at the present time.
The only doubt he had had, was on the question whether he
ought to direct any accounts, without prejudice to this ques-
tion, at once, or merely to direct the accounts to be taken.
He could not allow the objection, nor could he usefully or
properly reserve that point for future consideration. With
regard to the other point, he thought this account must be
directed as prayed by the bill; but upon that point, as Mr.
Wood was never an active party in the proceedings, and as
neither party had brought this case before him, so as to en-
able him to decide it at the hearing, he was ofopinion that he
should direct the accounts, without prejudice to the question
whether Mr. Wood was discharged or not.

sion is, that the case 1%411 last over to-morrow.

COMMON PLEAS. (THIS DAY.)
Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL and
a Special Jury.)
FORTH V. LAWSON.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. James were for the plain-
iff, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Peacock were for the defendant.
This was an action of libel brought by the Rev. Nathaniel
Forth, against Joseph Lawson, the printer of the Times news-
paper, to recover compensation in damages for an injury done
to his character as a clergyman, by a paragraph which ap-
peared in the Times newspaper of the 26th July.
The defendant pleaded that he did not publish the libel,
and that the plaintiff was not a clergyman.
The present action originated in paragraph which was
appended to a report of some observations of Mr. Clive, the
magistrate of Wandsworth Police-office. It appeared from
the evidence on the part of the plaintiff that he was ad-
mitted into holy orders in 1803, and was ordained a priest in
1806, and that at subsequent periods he officiated as curate
of St. Sepulchre and of St. George's, Bloomsbury, up
to 1813, but had not officiated since that period
as a clergyman. He afterwards became reduced
in circumstances, and his case being made known, several
sums of money were sent to Mr. Clive, for the use of the
Rev. Gent!eman. In consequence of something which oc-
curred, Mr. Clive announced in the police court, that as Mr.
Forth had not appeared to claim the money which had been
sent to him for his use, he would return it to those from whom
he received it, if he knew to whom it belonged; and
would not receive any more donations for him. Mr. Clive
added that he came to this determination in consequence of
information he received from the Rector of Wandsworth, and
would decline having any further correspondence either with
the Rev. Mr. Forth or his family. The paragraph appended
to this was, "We learn from another source that the Rev.
Mr. Field was suspended some time since by the Bishop of
London, and such suspension, as far as we can learn, has never
yet been taken off." For this paragraph the present action
was brought.
Mr. Humritrnv addressed the jury for the defendant. He
said that this was an action which should never have been
brought by the plaintiff. He complained that the plaintiff
had not denied the truth of what had been said by Mr.
Clive, which would. have given him an opportunity
of calling Mr. Clive and the resident Rector of
Wandsworth. From what had been said by Mr.
Clive, there was nobody who would not think that there
had been something worse in the conduct of Mr. Forth than

what had been stated in the Times. He called on the jury
to give the least amount of damages they possibly could.
His LORDSHIP briefly summed up, and said it was certainly
a question of damages, which he should leave to the jury.
The jury retired, and had not returned their verdict when
we went to press.

MAYOR V. FARQUAR.-CRIM. CON.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Sergeant Channell, and Mr.
Cardwell, were for the plaintiff; Mr. Knowles and Mr. Ser-
geant Byles appeared for the defendant.
This was an action brought by Captain Mayor, the plaintiff,
in the present action, to recover compensation in damages
from the defendant, Captain Farquhar, for criminal conver-
sation with his wife.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOTIRD stated the case. He said this
was an action to recover compensation for one of the most
bitter injuries which one man could receive from another; and
in the present case, this injury was committed
under circumstances of great aggravation. Both the
plaintiff and defendant were officers in the Indiam army,
and both of them belonged to the same regiment, the 6th Bom-
bay Native Infantry. The plaintiff went to India, where
he remained for some time, but returned for the sake of his
health, and met with Mrs. Mayor, the unhappy subject of the
present action, at Margate, who was staying there with her
mother, who was in ill health. An intimacy was formed between
them, Mr. Mayor being then about twenty-six, and Miss Crisp,
the maiden name of the lady, about eighteen or nineteen
years of age. They were married in August, 1832, in Mary-
lebone Church, and in the month following they sailed for
India, where they continued to live on terms of the greatest
attachment and love. The greatest friendship subsisted be-
tween Captain Mayor and Captain Farquar, and on those oc-
casions, when the former went upon outpost duty, considered
he had a friend and protector for his wife in the defendant.
In March, 1841, Captain Mayor was ordered on active service,
and was sent to the Bolan Pass, and in the military opera-
tions which followed, he acquired great distinction. In the
meantime Mrs. Mayor had a son called Henry,
whom it was thought advisable to send to England for
his education, and his mother was to accompany him.
Captain Mayor made every provision for her com-
fort that his means would allow, and he made arrangements
that she should draw 201. a month, and more if necessary.
When Mrs. Mayor arrived in England she sent her son to a
school in Islington and resided in a respectable boarding-
house herself. Towards the clot& of 1841 Captain Farquar
left India on leave of absence, and immediately
after arriving in England he called upon Mrs. Mayor.
Mrs. Mayor was living at this time in Langham-place, but
shortly quitted and went to reside at Somers Town with
Mr. Dunn, a friend of her family. Some time after this Mrs.
Mayor went to Gravesend, and returned on the sth of June,
1843, to Mr. Dunn's, and on the day of her return Capt. Farquar
called on her, and whatever it was that had occurred between
them, Mrs. Mayor swallowed a quantity of laudanum which
was sufficient to have produced death, if a doctor had not
been sent for. Whether this act was caused by any repug-
nance, or from a sense of conscience, he did not know,
but in a short time they made arrangements to go to Windsor.
They went there, and stopped at a tradesman's, named Dodds.
Captain Farquar took a front-room and a bed-room, which
he engaged for the ensuing week. They were believed by
the respectable tradesmen with whom they resided to be hus-
band and wife, and here, whatever doubt might have existed
before, there could be little doubt that a criminal intercourse
had taken place between them. There might be some con-
troversy as to the identity of Capt. Farquar, but he (Mr.
Sergeant T.) believed he would be able to place that beyond
all reasonable doubt, for one of the packages was marked
" Capt. Farquar, 6th Bombay N. 1.," and he left a card
behind him, with his name on it, of which evidence would be
given. They afterwards went to Cheltenham, and resided
with a person named Clark, and he would be able to
prove that the greatest familiarity subsisted between them.
They afterwards came back to London, but did not return to
Mr. Dunn's, and in a short time they left for Boulogne with-
out any notice being given by Mrs. Mayor to any member
of her family. They went from Boulogne to Paris, and
though inquiries had been made there, the plaintiff
had not been able to discover where they resided.
During all this time the plaintiff had been engaged
in the service of his country abroad, in which he
had attained considerable distinction, and he received the
most friendly letters from the defendant all the time. Sus-
picion of an improper intimacy existing between the parties
was first excited by some anonymous communications
which were sent to the friends of Captain Mayor,
who sent a letter to his brother in India, informing him on
the subject, but which he did not receive, and which was still
unopened. When the affair became known, Captain Farquar
sent Mrs. Mayor to India, and accompanied her to Southamp-
ton. She arrived in India and met her unsuspecting hus-
band, who was returning to this country in ill health, having
ruptured one of the vessels of the leg. Both Captain and
Mrs. Mayor returned to this country, when, for the first time,
Captain Mayor heard of the afflicting circumstance of his
wife's infidelity, and an immediate separation took place,
and the present action was brought.

Witne;ses were called, in support of these facts when we
went to press.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Hannah Kelly, an old blind woman, with a little boy in her
hand, was charged with begging.
The prisoner, seems to be an incorrigible mendicant, who
was brought before Mr. Greenwood yesterday, and it was
proved that she had been begging with a sort of written pe-
tition. She was pardoned on that occasion, but this morn-
ing Police-constable 88 N found her begging in High-street,
Islington, with the very same petition which the constable,
who had her in charge on the previous day, had imprudently
allowed her to regain possession of.
Hemet, the Master of the Clerkenwell Workhouse, said
she had been a pauper in the workhouse; she was com-
fortably fed and clothed, but discharged herself.
The MAGISTRATE asked her what she had to say P—The
prisoner replied, that she was striving to collect some money
to take her over to her nephew, who lived on the other side
of the river.

Mr. GREENWOOD, in consideration of her age and infirmity,
sent her to the Clerkenwell workhouse.

A young man, named French, a pauper in the Clerkenwell
workhouse, was charged with the following outrageous con-
duct. The prisoner,who has been repeatedly convicted at this
Court for gross misconduct in the workhouse, became dis-
orderly at the door orl theprevious night, and when desired
to leave, had the brutality to strike a poor weak-minded
pauper, named Hounley, a violent blow on the forehead, and
used bad language.—Committed for ten days.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Charles Smith, a mechanic, was charged with disorderly
conduct at the Members' entrance of the House of Commons
last evening. He was drunk, and obstructed the Members,
a number of whom were at the time going in and out of the
House. When requested to walk on by a policeman, he
offered to fight him. He was taken into custody, and was
not conveyed to the station-house without difficulty.
The defendant said he was sorry for his conduct. He had
been to witness the regatta, and had drank too freely.—He
was fined ss. •

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Studley, a gentleman residing at Brixton, who was
robbed by Mary Whitburn, his servant, of money and
articles of jewellery, amounting to upwards of 1001., made
the following application.
The applicant stated, that the prisoner Whitburn was
tried and convicted at the late sessions of the Central Cri-
minal Court, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. That
since the robbery he ascertained that she was a woman of
the most profligate habits, had robbed the families in whose
service she lived, and although her mother was aware of the
vicious conduct of her daughter, still she gave her an ex-
cellent character to him ; said that she was sober, honest, and
industrious, and endowed with all the qualifications necessary
for service in a gentleman's family. Owing to the character
thus given of the convict by her mother, the applicant took
her into his service, and she was not in her situation more
than three weeks, when she plundered him of property to
the above amount. The applicant added that his object now
was to punish the mother for giving her daughter a fictitious
character and thus enabling her to rob her employers.
Mr. TRILL'. said the mother certainly deserved a severe
punishment for the manner in which she acted on the occa-
sion, but he regretted to say that she was not amenable to
the law, as she had not given the character in writing.
Mr. Studley having expressed his regret at the informa-
tion, then withdrew.
