NEW COURT.

. Commissioners Bullock and Sir George Carroll
took their !eats in the New Court at one o'clock.

Frederick Henry Rix, 24, described in the calendar
as a traveller, was charged with a misdemeanour, in
having obtained from his master several sums of
money, as commission on orders, which orders he had
not really received. The case was one traversed from
list Sessions. The indictment contained three
charges, 'on each of which the prisoner withdrew his
former plea and pleaded guilty. The prosecutor did.
rio£ wish to press the charges. The prisoner received
a good character from one witness. He was sen-
tenced to three months' imprisonment.
'lt was a considerable time before the business
of the Court could be proceeded with, in con-
sequence of the absence of witnesses and prosecu-
tors, a matter of frequent complaint on the first day of
• .the sessions. The Grand Jury having returned into
Court with true bills, several prisoners, the persons
named, were placed at the bar, and arraigned. Several
of them put in a plea of guilty.
James Brooldand, for stealing, a gallon of beer; the
property of George Harman, pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced to one week's imprisonment in Newgate.
John Kennard, a youth of 17, was indicted fur
stealing, three hank-notes, value 20/., and a sum of
0
62/. in gold, the property of James Painter Davis.
The prisoner, up to the time of the theft, had borne
an irreproachable character; the money was a remit-
tance . from the Country, and the largeness of the
amount was too much for the prisoner's virtue.
Mr. PAYNE appeared for the prisoner ; he did not
make any defence, but urged in mitigation the good
character of the prisoner, and the fact that a large
portion of the property had been recovered.
The officer had in his possession 461. of the amount,
besides various purchases that had been made by the
prisoner with the residue. The prisoner threw him-
self on the clemency of the Court.
Mr. Watts, in whose employ the prisoner had lived
for ten months, gave him an excellent character for
honesty.—The case was remanded, to enable the wit-
ness to procure the attendance of other witnesses to
character.

A little boy, not more than 11 Years of age was
charged with having stolen 23 haff-erowns, 22' shil-
lings, and two farthings, from the till of a Mr. Steel,
his master. The money was discovered on another
little boy,.named Bennam, who told from *horn he

TILE CASE OF MR. ELTON.

An lIoN. MEMBER on the Opposition benches inquired
if any Gentleman especially connected with the Admi-
ralty was present on the other side of the House, as it
wai his intention, on Wednesday next, to ask a question
relative to the case of Mr. Elton, a Midshipman in her
Majesty's service ; and, according to the answer he
might receive to that question, he should consider whe-
ther it would be expedient to move an address to her
Majesty, either on the whole or part of the proceedings
against that officer.

Morning Post, December 29, 1841.

„ .
The charge, whether true or false, brought against the
” Annuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of
little or no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular
publication. Within the single volume, neatly brought out
by Messrs Kelly and Co.. of Old 80-,well-court, Temple-bar,
is comprised all the information •that can be useful to the
fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It in-
cludes a " Court Directory," which alone contains about five-
and-twenty thousand names; a " Law Directory" of the
most ample description, giving, among other details, no fewer
than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an
Official Directory," with an index of six thousand persons
holding situations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East
India House, and other public departments ; the " Commer-
cial Directory," perhaps the fullest and most complete that
has ever yet appeare t, and a variety of miscellaneous matter
which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from
our own observation, we can safely pronounce this work a sine
qua non to everybody who desires to become acquainted with
the great metropolitan world of London.

Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, Dec. 22, 1841.
On our reference from time to time to the Post-office Direc-
tory of 1841, we felt convinced that nothirg could have been
produced more perfect for the purposes for which the huge
compilation was designed ; it appears, however, we were mis-
taken. The thick volume before us is vastly superior to the
last, and is unquestionably " the most complete work of the
kind ever published ;P the information is so judiciously classi-
fied, that although it extends over some fifteen hundred
large
closely printed pages, every department of the compilation
'night be consulted in .a few seconds. It is surprising how
such a mass of intelligence can have beed collected and ar-
ranged so accurately, expeditiously, and cheaply, neither of
which could of course be accomplished without the extensive
ing-house, coffe
and peculiar resources of the General Post-office. No count-
excellent reaord.e-roorn, or public office, should be without this

We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which
we have received an early eopy.

NEW COURT.

PASSING COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Elizabeth Scott, aged 33,
who appeared at the bar with an infant in her arras, was
charged with unlawfully uttering, on the 17th of January, a
counterfeit half-crown.

Messrs. Bodkin d Ellis conducted the prosecution on the
part of the Mint; the prisoner was undefended.

Miss Townsend, straw-bonnet maker, of Duke-street, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, deposed that on the 17th of last month the
prisoner went to her shop and purchased a bonnet shape, price
I'd. for which she tendered a bad half-crown in payment.
Witness immediately went out and brought a policeman back
with her, who took the prisoner into custody.
James Wall, police-constable 63 F. corroborated the
evidence of the last witness, and further stated that he
searched the prisoner, and found on her two other half-crowns,
one of which was bad and the other good, and a good shilling.
Witness produced the two half-crowns.
Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Mint, was then
morn. He
stated that both half-crowns were bad, and had been cast from
the same mould.
The prisoner, when called upon for her defence, strenuously
a-serted her innocence. She said that she was the worse for
liquor, and did not know that the half-croivn was bad. She
:could not produce any witnesses to character.
Mr. Justice CazsswEia, having briefly summed ...fury found the prisoner guilty. up, the
'1 he Couwr sentenced her to nine months' imprisonment in
the House of Correction and hard labour.
Several other trifling Mint cases were disposed of in the
course of the morning,

mediate repeal of the Corn-laws,

-LITERARY AND SCIENITTIPIC.

The progress of literature in Russia may be gathered
from the fact that there are at the present day Russian
authors who have bought estates several square leagues
in extent with the produce of their pens : there are
others who receive from 5,000 to 6,000 roubles for
merely giving their names to periodicals : many of theso
latter circulate 20,000• copies. The largest modern un-
dertakin7 is the great National Encyclopedia, on which
several hundred literary men are employed, at the rate
of from 100 to 200 roubles a sheet.

A very splendid jewel has been presented by the King
of the French to Miss Costello, in token of his estimation
of that lady's recent work on France, " A Summer
among the Bongos and Vines." * .

BAIL COURT, Feb. 4.

VEITCH U. RUSSELL.
In this action, which has been before the Court for three
days, the plaintiff is a medical gentleman, residing at Rich-
mond, and the defendant, a lady, at whose request the plaintiff
attended for a considerable period of the ye ,rs 1839 and 1840 on
her brother. The parties had been on friendly terms, and defend-
ant having requested Dr. Veitch to send his bill, hesent one ac-
cordingly, amounting to 150 guineas, to which Mr.. Russell
objected as being too high, and offered 701. It appeared from
some letters of Mrs. Russell that she conceived some reduction
was due for her kindness to the plaintiff's daughter, who had
been boarding in her neighbourhood at Bayswater,
and for hospitality afforded to the plaintiff himself.
It was proved for the plaintiff that the expenses of cab hire in
visiting Mrs. Russel's brother cost him 501. and it was stated
that he was at other expenses of the same description to a large
amount, but which he was not in a position to prove.
The Attot ney General and Mr. Peacock appeared for the
plaintiff, and Messrs, Thesiger, Warren, and 13ovill for the
defendants.

Ills LORDSHIP, in his charge to the Jury, left it to them to
say whether, from the evidence in the case, they were of opinion
that there was any implied contract to pay, beyond the fact of
mere attendance, which fact would not of itself constitnte any
legal right on the part of the plaintiff. Such a state of things
may hale arisen with the Greek and Roman orators, or it
may have originated in the middle ages with the monks, who
professed physic, and who were dead in law; or as appeared more
probable to him, it originated from the extreme difficulty of
estimating services merely intellectual ; and if they were of
opinion that such implied contract did exist, to what amount ?
The Jury returned, after an absence of about twenty mi-
nutes, with a verdict for the defendant.

CHURCH-RATES.

Sir JOHN EASTHOPE, observing that an intention
had been expressed of proposing a measure relative to
the Ecclesiastical Courts, begged to ask the Right
Honourable Baronet opposite, whether that intention
pointed to any measure for the filth talent of the question of
compulsory Church-rates, or whether any measure was
contemplated by her Majesty's Government for taking
that question into Consideration ?
Sir R. PEEL begged to stato that any Bill intended
to be introduced on the subject would exclusively refer
to the juriAdiotion of Ecclesiastical Courts. The sub-
ject wai noticed agreeably to a rocommendation of
Comnais:ioners appointed some years since to investi-
gate the matter, and it was not meant to include any
measure respectint, Chureh-rateg in the present instance.
- Sir J. I:ASl'f-it-WE wished to nsk the Light Hon.
Baronet whether it was in the contemplation of Govern-
ment to propose any measure respecting Church-rates to
Parliament this; Session ?

Sir I:. PEEL—It is not in the contemplation of Go-
yt•rnment to propose such a measure.
In r. ply to a question, similar to the preceding, from
Mr. HAWES,

Sir IL PEEL said that he had already given an an-
swer on the subject, and he trusted the don. Member
would ,s,,e that any discussion on the matter would not
be attended c►:th ron t vnience.

The charge, whether true or false, brought against the
" Annuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of
little or no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular
publication. Within the single volume, neatly brought out
by Messrs Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar,
is comprised all the information that can be useful t.j the
fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It in-
cludes a " Com t Directory," which alone contains about five-
and-twenty thousand names; q. " La w Directory" of the
most ample description, giving, among other details, no fewer
than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an
I Official Directory,' with an index of six thousand persons
balding situations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East
India Hotise, and other public departments ; the " Commer-
cial Directory,". perhaps the folk st and most complete that
has ever yet appeare I, and a variety of miscellaneous matter
which it is impossible to particuttrise here. In short, from
our own observation, we can safely pronounce this work a sine
qua non to everybody who desires to become acquainted with
the great metropolitan world of London.
*hipping and Mercantile Gazette, Dee. 22, 1841.
On our reference from time to time to the Post-office Direc-
tory of 1841, we felt convinced that nothirg could have been
produced more perfect for the purposes for which the huge
compilation was designed ; it appears, however, we were mis-
taken. The thick volume before us is vastly superior to the
last, and is unquestionably " the most complete work of the
kind ever published ;" the information is so judiciously classi-
fied, that although it extends over some fifteen hundred large
closely printed pages, every department of the compilation
might be consulted in a few seconds. It is surprising how
ranged so accurately, exped.
such a mass of intelligence can have heed collected and ar-
m ycheaply,

We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which
we have received an early copy. Jr exceeds the size of the
Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and
correct tewnguide yet published. The following outline of
the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the
vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the

This was an action again zt the defendant for the
recovery of compensation for the non-delivery of
goods consigned to his care..
The defendant is the ?x: tensive shipowner and
wharfinger in the City. ' It: appeared that the goods
hat been sent out of the) West India Docks to
be shipped for Canto n, on board the George
the Fourth, a vessel 1 iek ,nging to the defendant.
After they had been bi vright to the docks, however,
they were placed :1)' mistake on board another
ship called the t.; ophia, which sailed with
them for Bombay. The action was after-
wards instituted age inst the defendant ; and the
simple question. was, v ihether the Dock Company, or
the officers of the Sc 4)hia, or the servants of the
defendant, were an s werable for the improper
delivery whiCrh had tl Ins taken place. The case
had been tried at tha' uilhali, before Lord Abinger,
when the Jury return ed a verdict to the effect that
there had been no neglect of duty on the part of the
officers of the Sophia, thus rendering the defendant
liable in the case, but leaving it open to him to sue the
Dock Company if should think proper.
Mr. NICHOLSON 13 ow appeared in person to move
for a rule to show cause why a new trial shoUld
not be had on the grounds of misdirection
on the part of t be Learned Judge, tind of a
verdict against evil lence. In a somewhat unprofes-
sional speech, Mr. I dicholson attempted to support his
application by poil sting out certain supposed discre-
pancies in the evidt nice of the witness for the plaintiff.
The COURT held ,that no reason had been adduced
to show that the V( a diet of the Jury should be dis-
turbed, and neither was there any thing to justify
the plea of re-consid.E ration on the part of the Learned
Judge. The rule 1.1 as therefore refused.

POPULAR HISTORY OF BRITISH INDIA.
Madden, London, 1842.
Those realers who. arc desirous of obtaining
an insight, however slight, into the history of
our East Indian possessions, will find much to
answer their purpose in this unassuming volume,
which, without going -deep into its subject, con-
veys useful information in a very agreeable mari-
ner. As a school -book, for which indeed it seems
chiefly intended, we think it very likely to be-
come a lasting favourite; for it skims the surface
or oriental history with great ease and dexterity,
and is penned in a clear, fluent, and concise
style. The only thult we find with it is, that it
passes too slightly and cursorily over Clive's ex-
ploits in India, which, as they vlaid the founda-
tion of all our present power in that hemisphere,
should have been dwelt on somewhat more in

To-morrow the Dover Harbour Commissioners, of
whom the Noble Duke, as Lord Warden of the Cinque
Ports, is the head, hold their sessions at Dover, when,
it is reported (though we rather suspect the veracity
of the report), her Majesty will came over to that
place, and take luncheon at the Governor's house, at
Dover Castle, while her Royal Consort attends the
harbour sessions with the Duke. There does not yet
seem to be any certainty as to the time her Majesty
will remain at Widmer Castle ; but as her Majesty is
understood to he particularly partial to a sea view,
which cannot of course be obtained at Brighton, it is
not unlikely her stay may be prolonged much beyond
what is generally anticipated. The Town Council of
Dover met yesterday, and made the necessary ar-
rangements for paying all due honour to our beloved
Queen.

The cage, measuring 2 feet 8 inches in length, and 2 feet
4 inches in depth, in which the unfortunate Mrs. Noble was
confined for six weeks by the Chinese, when she was wrecked
with her husband and child on their shores, has just been
brought home by the Wellesley. It is made of rough tir-stakes,
and will be sent to the British Museum. _

Five of a desperate gang of burglars were captured last week
at Lancaster. Their names are Henry, James, and Richard
Atkinson, John Vesey, and Robert Palmer; the last a re-
turned transport.
The Rev. Mr. Drummond, of the Chapel Royal, Brighton,
at the close of the service there on Sunday, gave the unusual
intimation to his congregation that there were two notorious
pickpockets in the chapel, and all eyes were at one turned to
two well-dressed strangers in the middle aisle, who were fol-
lowed to their cab, and surrounded by several hundred persons.
On the strangers inquiring the cause of this, they were told
they were the parties pointed out as pickpockets. One of
them, however, proved to be a clergyman of Burton-on-Hum-
ber, and the other, a fellow of St. John's. The matter has
been put into the hands of a solicitor.

The defendant pleaded the general issue.
The amount was for three and a half tons of coal,
supplied to the defendant by the plaintiff, who is a coal-
merchant, residing in Spitalfields. The delivery of the
coals was proved, and the Jury found for the full amount

RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES. The tenantry are unexception.
able, and the quality of the soil not to be surpassed throughout

TIONS , with the entire village of COLLATON, Three Miles

from Torquay.

FOR THE WHOLE.

The property will be divided as'follows :
Lot 1. The Manor of Collaton Kirkham, with a Farm of 447
Acres, a good farm-house, and all requisite buildings, called Blagdon
Barton. The land includes some fine orcharding, and the soil is
so rich that the best bullocks at Smithfield may be traced from.
Paynton. The tenant is a first-rate Yeoman. Mr. Searle would
never condescend to ask for or receive any abatement. It is called
the Pet Farm of the property, and the estimated value is 600
guineas a-year.
Lot 2. Collaton Farm and Buildings, with 217 Acres of un-
commonly fine land. It is a capital Sheep Farm, with fine Wheat
Land, and good Orcharding.
Lot 3. Lower Yalberton Farm, and 304 Acres of rich land. A
Sheep and Corn Farm. Gabriel Jackson, the tenant, is a scientific
farmer, and a man of wealth.

Lot 4. Whitehill, a new and very compact farm-house and
buildings, with 132 Acres of good land. Mr. Elliott is the respect.
able tenant.

Also, in six smaller Lots, the Royal Oak Inn, the Parker Arms,
and the village of Collaton. Besides this

THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE INCLUDES
THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.

adequate terms. Dartmouth and Totnes are close at hand, and

The: Sim; as well as the examination. of Dr..3l`Dou.tu,
before-Mr, •JEnEmy, the Magistrate. The motion, after
an ieteresting debate, was refused, by a majority of 89
votes to 30—Sir.ItonEnT PEEL'S objection being, that
the proper place to seek a remedy was a Court of Law,
where, at a trifling expense, a precedent can be estab-
lished. The Premier did not, however, promise that he
would instruct the Law. Officers of the Crown to conduct

INSOLVE\ T COURT-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE LLEWELLYN.

The insolvent was a, wheelwright and machinist in
Crown-street, Soho-square.. llis petition to be dis-
charged was supported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed by
Mr. Woodruffe, on behalf of a creditor for the small
sum of 51.

The opposing Counsel subjected him to a long exami-
nation, by which it appeared that he had disposed of his
premises to a person named Stevens, and had been al-
ready befora the Court, when he was sent back for the
purpose of amending his special balance-sheet.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, upon looking
over the balance-sheet, said it was still quite imperfect,
and not available for the ends of justice ; he should,
therefore, again adjourn the case, requiring ha week's
notice to be given of the day for hearing.
Ten bail cases, and several unopposed hearings, were
disposed of during the morning, in which there appeared
no point of general interest.
