COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY

PF.LLEtt V. ADAMS.
This was atl,action for compensation in damages for
false imprisonment, brought by Anna Deller, a maid
servant, against her former master, Mr. Adams, a
sitiolmaster and lecturer on astronomy, residing
at Tottenham--under these circumstances :—On the
morning of the 1I th of March last, the pre-
sent plaintiff stated to her master, that, havii,g
had occasion to enter the room in which the plate
was kept, she discovered that it had been removed, and
1
the basket which had contained it was left empty. She
appeared at the time to be very much agitated, and
requested Mrs. Adams to send for a policeman. After this
the nursery-maid, who had been sitting at the window at
the time when the robbery was supposed to have been
committed, say that she saw a man crossing the lawn
before the house, that he was dressed in a velveteen
coat, and that be resembled a man of the name:of Higgie.
liberated on;was . apprehended, but was afterwards
his recognisances. On the examination of
the premises Ity the . police, no trace of the means by
which the robbery was effected could be found ;Ibut it
was observed, that a door which opened only
on the inside, was left ajar. The plaintiff said
that she 110 been cleaning the steps, and pas-
sage, and mig4t have forgotten to shut the door. On
the same evening the defendant applied to a magistrate,
who asivised hipi -to, give the two servant women into
custody, it being too late to get a warrant. But Mr.
Adams preferrjd to give the plaintiff only into custody.
as it would be inconvenient to part with the nursery-
maid. The plaintiff was accordingly taken to the
station-house on Saturday, and on Monday was
remanded to Friday, when she was discharged.
Fer this imprisonment the present action was brought.
The trial occupied part of yesterday, and the whole of
this day.
The jury found for the plaintiff on the first issue, but
on the others for the defendant ; the verdict being,
therefore, substantially for the defendant.

standing the lete advance in prices—the stock is much
less than it was in 1843 at this period, and in the value
