THE COURT OF DIRECTORS of the EAST
INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice,
that a PROPRIETOR of EAST INDIA STOCK has given notice
that at the Quarterly General Court of the said Company, appointed
to he-held at their House in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the

Lieutenant-Colonel CHARLES °VANS, late ReSident at Sattara.
A statement of the charges intended to be made was delivered in
by the same Proprietor at the last Quarterly General Court.
That the same Proprietor hes also given zotice, that at the same
Quarterly General Court he will move that, " Whereas on the 25th
of September, 1819, a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance was
concluded between the Honourable East India Company' and his
Highness Maharajah Pertaub Shean, the Raja of Sattara;
" And whereas, his Highness Pertaub Shean so conducted himself
as an ally of the East India Company, that on the 29th December'
1835, the following letter was unanimously agreed to by the Court o
Directors :

! person passing as Mr. Loftus ; but the Learned Judge
corTdered that the evidence did not establish this charge
against Mr. Loftus. The next charge imputed to Mr.
Loftus, that, on a day shortly before Christmas, 1843, he
and Henry Twiddy accompanied a woman of ill-fame,
naint d Mary Foreman, ' in Boston, Lincolnshire, to Ittr
residence, a common brothel; that they passed that night
there, each with a common prostitute.;• that ;Mrs.
Foreman, at the express instance of Mr. Loftus hired
or eng oied two prostitutes, named Jeminit eess e and
Sarah N\ arsop, of Boston. to enter his s a, - . the
ostensibe capacities of housemaid and co es .1, t these
two women accordingly went. to the vie' • ge house at
Fincham, in December, 1843; and that, during the time
they remained in his service, Mr. Loftus and Twiddy,
with Mr. Loftus's privity, had habitually- criminal inter-
course with them, and committed adultery, or fornica-
tion. Upon this charge Mrs. Foreman had been -
ease:nine], and she proved her meeting with )Jr. Loftus j
and Twiddy in Baston, their visit to her house, their
sleeping at it with two womem, the wish expressed to
her by Mr. Loftus that she would engage two women
for him as cook and housemaid; and that, in accordance
with a letter from Twiddy, she sent Cross and Warsop
to Fincham. Cross, one of these women, of the age of
19 or 20, had also been examined, and proved that she
was hired Vas: Mrs. Foreman, that she proceeded to
Fincham, and that the evening of their arrival at the
vicarage Mr. Loftus came down to the pantry, where they
were, and said to Twtddy, ‘• Remember, Henry, I am to
have the housemaid (Cross), and you the cook ( Warsop)."
She further stated, that for the first month she slept with
Mr. Loftus, and after that with Twiddy. lt had been said
that this story was so improbable that it destroyed the
credit of the witness; that it was inconceivable that a
gentleman in the position of Mr. Loftus, with so high a
character, should have been guilty of such an atrocious
act; and at first blush it -d;cl appear to be most improbable
and scarcely to be believed. But this story did not de-
p nd upon the single testimony of the woman Cross, for
the other woman, Susan Warsop, had been examined,
and she, though actuated by feelings favourable to Mr.
Loftus, confirmed the evidence of Mrs. Foreman as to the
hiring or these two women; as well as that Of Cross as to
what took place on Their arrival at the vicarage. She
admitted that:she had been connected with Twiddy, but
she refused to answer the question whether she had had
carnal connexion with Mr. Loftus. Upon this point,
therefore, she did not affirmatively corroborate the testi-
mony Of Cross, who stated that when she began to sleep
with Twiddy there was an interchange of night com-
panions, and that Warsop slept with Mr. Loftus; but she
did not contradict Cross upon this point, and upon other
points she confirmed her. Here, therefore, were two girls,
one 19 or 20, the other 22 or 23, hired by the keeper of a
brothel, admitted into the parsonage house of Mr. Loftus,
the iecumbent of a parish, with whom he and his butler
were cohabiting, his family then consisting only of these
women, Twiddy, and Emanuel, a page. For a fort-
night after the arrival of these two women, Mr. Balls,
the curate of Mr. Loftus, resided in the house ; but at
the end of a fortnight Mr. Balls quitted the house, for
what reason did not appear. Now, it was a most ex-
traordinary circumstance, that Mr. Balls, the curate of
the parish, who had actually resided in the parsonage-
house whilst these women were there, and was so com-
petent to give evidence, had not been examined by Mr.
Loftus in support of his allegation as to character ; for
he would have been a most important witness to show
the propriety of the conduct of Mr. Loftus at this
time. There was another important circumstance. It
appeared that about Christmas, 1843, Twiddy, and
the women Cross and Warsop were infected with a
loathsome disease, for which they were attended by a
medical person, Mr. Gent. Mr. Loftus could not
have been ignorant of this fact, and, therefore, it was
established, that a person in holy orders, the rector of
a parish, allowed these three persons to remain in his
service after he knew they were all infected with this dis-
ease. From the interrogatories, it did not appear that
Mr. Loftus himself was infected, and it had been argued
that this fact afforded a presumption that Cross's story
was altogether untrue. But the interrogatories had been
expressly confined to the three persons, Twiddy, Cross,
and Warsop, and the medical witness stated that he did
not attend Mr. Loftus at this time. Although, there-
fore, there was no affirmative evidence to show that Mr.
Loftus participated in this disease, there was nothing
in this absence of proof which contradicted the evidence
of Cross. But what happened in March, 1844? Cross
was, or considered herself to be pregnant, and she had
recourse to some medicine to procure a miscarriage, or •
an abortion ; and, although he (the Learned Judge)
believed that Mr. Loftus was not privy to this act, he ,
knew of the fact after the result had taken place, and '
yet when, owing to the scandal her case had created
Cross was obliged to be discharged from his service, he
gave her the following certificate:—" Fincham Rectory,
Downham-market, March 21, 1844.—Jemima Cross has
lived with me about five months, and is honest and un-
derstands the duties of housemaid; she left from the
situation being too much for her strength.—Arthur
Loftus " Was this proper conduct on the part. of a person
like Mr. Loftus, who could not be ignorant of the real
facts? But this was not all. When Cross was discharged,
another girl, Maria Ward, was hired to' replace her, by
1.1. e 10t.,,,,,ti0n of the same Mrs. Foreman, the keeper
of the brothel at Boston. nlees Mr. Lottea was e-per-
feet idiot he could net b& anin-red -himself to be so
blinded as to the real character of these persons. It had
been suggested that all these charges were the result of
a conspiracy, in which the wife of Mr. Loftus and other
parties had engaged, in order to procure a sentence of
divorce against him by reason of his adultery. But
where was the proof of anything like conspiracy ? Some
parts of the case were in themselves extremely impro-
bable, but when considered with reference to other parts,
and the whole res ge.sta proved beyond all doubt, the
improbability vanished. '1 occurrences at Mr. Loftus's
own house took away the improbability of the transac-
tions elsewhere, which the Court could not treat as
mere inventions. But what took place in September,
1844 ? The Bishop of the diocese, being informed of the
conduct of Mr. Loftus, sent for hi.o, anti, according to
Mr. Loftus's own acknowledgment to Mr. Arthey, he
expressed to the Bishop his hope that he would be lenient
towards him, and allow him 2001. a year out of his
living. Mr. Loftus, moreover, applied to Mr. Arthey
for the certificate he had promised to give him, to the
effect that the criminal indulgence he had been charged '
with was requisite in his state of health. It was unfor-
tunate
that Mr. Loftus had carried this suggestion,
given, as Mr. Arthey says, half' in joke, to an extent
which that gentleman had never intended. It had been
urged in behalf of Mr. Loftus, that a good character,
such as he bad received, should weigh in a doubtful
ease ; but this was nut to his (the Learned Judge's)
mind a doubtful case ; there was no doubt in his mind
that the facts had completely established most profligate
conduct on the part of Mr. Loftus ; that the articles
had been most fully and substantially proved ; and it
had been admitted that, if proved, 'nothing short of
a sentence .of deprivation would be adequate to
meet the justice of the case. He (the Learned
Judge) had, therefore no hesitation in pronouncing that
Mr. Loftus had incurred the penalty of deprivation of
whatever preferment he possessed, either in the diocese of
Norwich or elsewhere in the province of Canterbury,
and he condemned him in the costs of the proceedings
He directed the sentence to be announced in the usual
manner on Sunday week, the 21st December.
The Proctor for Mr. Loftus prayed that the sentence
might not issue till after 14 days, in order that he might
appeal.
It was afterwards decided, in conformity with the case
of Dr. Free, that the sentenco should be signed (which
was done), and ordered to be transmitted to the regis-
trar of the diocese, but not to issue till 15 days ; and
that it be not published till Sunday, the 28th December.

satisfaction and pleasure. The liberality; a:so, which you have dis-
played in executing at your own cost 'various public works of great

approbation, respect, and applause.

" And whereas this opinion was communicated to the Government
Bombay and the Government of India, in dispatches from the
Court of Directors, dated respectively 'the 13th June, 1838, and the
20th January, 1839 ;
" And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac, on his appointment to
the office of Governor of Bombay, received no instructions from the
Court of Directors to dethrone, or otherwise to punish, the Raja of
Sattara, but, on the contrary, was empowered to suppress all fur-
ther inquiry into the charges that had been made against the Raja,
and to consign the matter to entire oblivion;
" And whereas Sir James Carnac did, in a minute, recorded by
him on the 19th June, -1839, propose that the Resident of Sattara
should be instructed to assure his Highness of the desire of the Bri
tish Government to maintain the retell° s of amity with him ; and
did further declare, That the British Government had nothing to
fear from the Raja, and could afford to act with generosity;'
" And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac did, at a personal inter-
view with the Raja, on the 23d August, 1839, inform his Highness
that three important violations of the Treaty had been proved against
him— •
" Ist. Of the sth Article, in having, during a series of years, held
improper communications with the Goa authorities ;
" 2d. Of the same Article, in having held a clandestine intercourse
with Appa Sahib, the, ex-Raja of Nagpoor ;
" 3d. Of having tampered with the native officers of the 23d Regi-
ment Native Infantry ;
" And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac, did, at a subsequent in-
terview, on the 27th August, peremptorily require the Raja to sign
certain articles, to which the following preamble was affixed, viz.
" Information having been received by the British Government
that.your Highness, misled, by evil advisers, had, in breach of the
Treaty which placed you on the throne, enteral into communications
hostile to the. British Government, an inquiry into these accusations
was considered indispensable.- This inquiry has satisfied the British
Government that your Highness has exposed yourself to the sacrifice
of its alliance and protection. Nevertheless, moved by considerations
of clemency towards your Highness and your family, the British Go-
vernment has resolved entirely to overlook what has passed on the
following Conditions, namely, &c. &c. ;
"And whereas the Raja of Sattara did, at these interviews, de-
clare his entire and absolute innocence, and earnestly implore per-
mission to be heard in reply to the charges which his enemies had
broaght against him, and in refutation of the evidence in support of
them ; and did al, o express his willingness to submit to any con-
ditions which did not require him to abandon his religion, or to ac-
knowledge; in violation of his conscience, that he had been the enemy
of the British Government ;
"'And whereas, for the sole reason of having refused to sign the
articles and preamble submitted to him, he was, on the sth of Sep-

taken a prisoner and dethroned, and a proclamation issued by the
Resident, declaring his brother, Appa Sahib (his bitter enemy), the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 12.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, before the LORD
-CHIEF BARON and Common Juries.)
CHANCELLOR V SAMBROOK.

This was an action on the case for injuries done to a
valuable horse, to which the defendant had pleaded not
guilty.
Mr. Knowles and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Woolrych for the de-
fendant.

The plaintiff was the well-known proprietor of
the omnibuses running between Brompton and the City,
and the defendant a coal merchant, carrying on business
at the Arundel Wharf, Arundel-street. The transaction
which gave rise to the present action occurred on the 24th
of April last. About two o'clock on that day one of the
plaintiff's omnibuses was travelling from the City towards
the West-end, and met with no interruption or accident
till it came to St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, when
the driver, observing that a waggon was coming up
Arundel-street, and intending to proceed in a contrary
direction, drew up close to the pavement immediately

and finally passed over the hoof of the off horse draw-
ing the omnibus, inflicting injuries that ultimately re-
sulted in the death of the animal. It was to recover
damages for the loss the plaintiff had sustained by this
accident that the present action was brought.
Evidence having been adduced to prove these facts,
Mr. IiIIIIFREY addressed the jury for the defendant,
and afterwards called a number of witnesses to prove
that the accident would not have happen:d had the driver
of the omnibus exercised due and ordinary caution in the
conduct cf his vehicle and horses.
The jury found a verdict for the defendant, on the
ground that the occurrence was an unavoidable accident.

AGAINST lIEATHCOTE.
This was a proceeding against a clergyman named
Heathcote, who had been convicted of an attempt to
commit a certain offence, and sentenced to six months'

imprisonment. Ili: had given an affirmative issue to
the articles exhibited against him in this Court (that is,
he had pleaded guilty), and the sentence stood over, in
order to ascertain whether this Court had power to
degrade, the counsel fur the promoter pressing for a
sentence to that extent.
Dr. PRILLIMORE (with whom was Dr. R. Phillimore)
—who had argued that the Judge of this Court. as offi-
cial. Principal or Dean of the Arches, could inflict de-
gradation—now admitted that he could find no prece-
dent, and suggested that it was a fit case for the Court,
under the 122 d canon, to invoke the presence of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, to pronounce the sentence.
The form of the sentence porrected in this case was
founded upon the only instance that could be found in
this Court or the Consistory Court—namely, Johnson's
case, in 1692, when three bishops had pronounced the
Isentence, in the absence of the then Bishop of London,
who was under suspension at the time. In that case
the party was deprived of his orders, and reduced to a

The highest tide known for the last twenty-live years
occurred on Thursday night and yeiterday morning, and
we are sorry to state that the destruction of property en
both Sides of the river-has --bean _enormous. The wind
,was N.W. during the whole day, -and towards nigtrit---
increased considerably, and acting [Ton a spring tide, -
forced an immense body of water up the river. Unfor-
tunately for the inhabitants of the water-side premises,
the tide did not commence flowing until night had set
in, and as it Continued rising fur six hours, some time
before it. had reached its height, those living near to
.the river had .retired- to rest in fancied security, conse-
quently they 'were 'wholly unprepared to resist the
irruption of the water, uhich poured into the basement
floors and cellars of houses not merely contiguous to the
river, but in 'many parts the river overflowed its banks
to the extent of some hundreds of yards. The scene
that presented itself from London-bridge to Hammer-
smith, when daylight broke, was• mast disheartening.
:The publicanain- Thames-street, Bankside,,and so on to
Westminster and Lanabstb, had their-cellars filled with
water. In every instance the butts and puncheons of
beer and spirits were floating about, and in a very ruany
instil-ices they had been staved in by the violent motion
of the water. The Commercial-road, Lambeth, and the
Belvidere-road were all undo later, and in the latter
roads the cellars were filled. Sin rte's, the boat-builder's,
premises, the Glass-house, and the wharfs between the
latter place and Bishop's-walk, were flooded to the
tlepth of several feet. The road to Lainh.th church was
. .

The title reached under the gates of the Archbishop's
Palace, tilling the gardens and ap,-)roaches to the house.
In Fore-street, High-street, and Ferrv-vr.-yet, the li-
censed victuallers and others have sustained great losses,
and the landlady of the Duke's Head, in Fore-street, es-
timates her loss at 2001 Two children who wore sleep-
ing in a kitchen in High-street were all but drowned,
and the damage done to the scanty furniture of the poor
People-living in the district is-very great. At Vauxhall,
the force of the water threw down the wall facing,the em-
bankment of Brunswick gardens. and the goodsihremises
of the South-Western Railway Company were all under
water. A girl in the service of Mr. Noyes, the manager
of the posting department of the South-Western Rail-
way, who resides in Belmont-place. Viandsworth-road,
was taken out of the kitchen, in which she slept, by her
plaster in an inanimate state, and for some time no signs
of animation presented'themselves. It was evident to
the medical gentlemen who were called in, that a few
minutes would have decided her fate, and at the present
time she -is in a very- precarious state. A large wall
enclosing the Rane'agh estate adjoining the Royal Hos-
pital was thrown down, .and the tide having free ingress
extended many hundred yards inland, and uniting with
the Grosvenor Canal, overflowed a great part of Pimlico.
,Battersea marshes were one immense sh( et of water, a
eircumstance, that has not occurred for the lest twenty-

to an alarming extent., On the Chelsea side, the tides
covered the grounds of Cremorne House and reached the
King's-road. Sir Edward East's beautiful grounds at
Eattersea were sadly despoiled, and the great portion of
the fencing was torn up. At Wandsworth the tide did
excessive damage. Mr. Pearce, the landlord of the Wa-
terman's Arms, is a loser to the extent of probably 1001.
The White Horse and the Feathers were likewise
Hooded, the water positively putting the fires out in the
parlours and taproom. At the latter house a man had
to row in a boat down the yard to the styes, to rescue
the pigs. The poor people living at the river side hail
the water in their houses to the:depth of three and four
feet. In many instances it forced up the flooring. The
churchwardens and overseers, we were glad to observe,
did their best to alleviate the sufferings of these poor
:people by giving them tickets for broad and cinl; which

i3vrMill,
.belonging to Messrs. Watney end Wills. was flooded to
the depth cif eighteen inches, and some hundreds of sacks
of flour have been spoilt. About ninety quarters of oats
were also wetted. On the Richmond Railway works the
timber was driven about in all directions, and the dams,
&c., were filled with water. The tide influencing
ithe Wandle, caused the latter to rise to an almost tipple-
,cedented extent.

At Putney the tide committed great ravages, and so
;great was the body of water in the cellar of the Bell
.Tavern, that Mr. Ayes, the landlord, was obliged to em-
ploy the parish engine. At Fulham the water rose so
high that the Bishop of London's grounds were flooded,
and the churchyard was under water. The fires on the
,ground floor of the Swan were extinguished, and the
water flowed to the King's Arms, a distance of a quarter
of a mile. Immense quantities of timber and casks were
floated away.
Our correspondents at Rochester and Greenwich state
that the high tide was as remarkable down the river as it
was above the bridge. At the Royal Hospital., Green-
wich, the whole of the wharf frontage was two feet under
water. Church-street, which leads from, the Waterman's
Floating Pier to the centre of the town, was, one-half
the distance, under water abont two feet ; the warehouses
along-shore inundated, and much injury done to the
property in the lower apartments, and some hundreds of
poor families, whose sleeping.rooms are on the ground
floor, were alarmed by the rush of water into their
rooms. At Deptford-bridge, which is a long way from,
the river, the lower warehouses of Messrs. Cobbett and
Co., extensive floor cloth manufacturers and dealers in
carpeting, were under water, and a considerable quantity
of goods injured, so as to become unealeble. The ex-
.tensive steam flour mills- of Messrs. Carpenter, situated
on Deptrord Creek, suffered greatly. The engine room,
boiler, Ssc., being deluged, the fires of course extin-
guished, and -the machinery extensively damaged.
At ~'“tnr•tr_ the
"the ItfedwerVere observed to be rushing,upwarda.aeith
a force never before u itnessed there, mil die greater
part of the High-street, of Streod, was soon uno.er water,
and a twenty feet boat with three persons in it, was seen
rowing about where the passengers, only a few minutes
before, had passed dry shod. The damage has been im-
mense. In many places the river has burst its bounds,
and the marshes are flooded in every direction. The
gardens and cultivated grounds in the neighbourhood
which have been flooded by the salt water, will be long
before they recover from its injurious effects. Fortu-
nately it was a moonlight night, end much stock was
hastily driven to places of safety. The gas works were
under water, and the lighting of the town was suspended.
We have received from another reporter the following
account of the disasters occasioned by the high tide on
each side of the river below London-bridge. At mid-
night, the sudden rushing of the waters over the embank-
ments of the Thames, and through the wharfs and al-
leys leading into the streets, aroused the inhabitants
from their slumbers. A great many persons were saved
in Wapping, Shadwell, the numerous courts and alleys
leading out of Bankside, and other places, by the
activity of the police, and thole of the Thames division.
were very, assiduous in saving people's lives, and drag-
ging them throiigh the flood to places of safety. For an
hour before the time named in the calendar for high
water, the river was several inches above the usual level,
and it continued to flow with a velocity which astonished
the oldest waterman and lighterman, until five minutes
after one o'clock yesterday morning, an hour beyond the
time named for high water at London-bridge, when the
tide was one inch higher at St. Katherine's Dock gates
than it was in November, 1841, when a similar disastrous
visitation occurred. The water rushed through the
streets with irresistible fury, and the cellars, kitchens,
parlours, and shops of the inhabitants were soon filled.
The eruption of the tide was so sudden that people were
obliged to leave their dwellings in haste, and wade
through the water to higher :ground. At Blackwell
there was a large space of ground covered with water.
The extensive factory of Messrs. Ditchburn and Mard,
the iron steamboat manufacturers, on both sides of Bow-
creek, was overflowed, and the materials used in their
business sustained great damage. The firm were obliged
to suspend operations and give their men a holiday yes-
terday, until things were put in order. In the Prince
Albeit and Orchard House Taverns, near the factory, the
water was four feet deep in the principal rooms on the
ground floor, and the loss of spirits, ale, and beer in the
cellars of each house is estimated at 1501. The High-
street, Wapping, from the Tunnel to Union-stairs, ap-
peared like a canal, sad boats were plying backwards
and forwards, receiving the tradesmen, shopkeepers, and
others, or carrying passengers from one end of the street
to the other. Those who did not reach home before
twelve in this neighbourhood were obliged to remain
out all night, or else avail themselves of the boats to
reach their dwellings. The casks and barrels in the
Watermen's Arms public-house, at Wapping New-
stairs, were floating about the cellars, and as the water
rose they lifted the flooring, broke down the bar, and
made a partial wreck of the place. The landlord, Mr.
Wasmuth, estimates his loss at 501. A similar disaster
took place at the Ship, Execution Dock, kept by Mr.
Vincent, and at several other houses of public entertain-
ment on the banks of the river. Shortly before one
o'clock the screams of a family living in one of the
small tenements in Cross-alley, near Gun-dock, induced
some of the Thames police to attempt a rescue, and a
woman and four children were taken oat of an apart-
ment into which the water had penetrated. The family
had a narrow escape.
In Rotherhithe and Bermondsey there was a great
quantity of corn spoiled in the granaries. The deposit
of mud and slime, left on the receding of the tide, did
more damage to grain, perishable goods' on the wharfs,
and furniture, than the waters of the Thames. The water
was six feet in depth yesterday morning, at half-past
twelve o'clock, in Upper Ground-street, and a street
leading out of it called Bodds 's
-bridge, near Messrs.
Hawes soap manufactory. 'The Commercial-road,
Pedlar's-acre, a great portion of the Belvidere-road, and
the numerous timber wharfs in the vicinity, were under
water ; and when the tide ebbed, large piles and deals
were carried out into the steam. Business was sus-
pended at many of the wharfs during the whole of yes-
terday. At daybreak the ravages of the flood were visi-
ble in all directions, and pumps were in requisition by,
the owners of long-shore property to get rid of the ele-
ment which did so much damage. The Tower-wharf,
Bankside, the Bishop's-walk, Lambeth, the Battersea-
meadows, and the low parts of Westminster were a`s.
overflowed. A curious scene occurred in the neigh.
bourhood of Bankside. The tide penetrated the sewers,
and dislodged numerous colonies of rats, which were
hunted by dogs amidst the clamorous vociferations. of
