BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

RF.NNO t. SMITH.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff; who had
been a sailor on board the Surprise, a vessel trading. to
the South Sea, to. obtain damages from the defendant
for flogging him in the island of Java. The same plain-
tiff had also brought an action against a person named
Bennett, the owner of the vessel. Both causes were set
down to be tried at Croydon ; and the plaintiff having
been nonsuited in the action against Bennett, that against
Smith was withdrawn for that time. A rule for the costs
in the latter action was also obtained.
_ _

Mr. JAMES now showed cause against the rule. It
appeared the consent to withdraw the action against
Smith was obtained in consideration of the permission
granted by the plaintiff to defendant to examine wit-
nesses in the action, who were about to proceed to
Java, whither a commission should be sent, if such per-
mission was not granted. Under these circumstances, it •
could not be evected that the costs would be given. It
was not intended, that the action should be held in ter-
rortm over the plaintiff, and they would undertake to go
to trial as soon as possible. •
Mr. lIAusE appeared for the defendant, but no oppo-
sition was given.—Rule discharged.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—" The Dublin election is over satis-
factorily," is the form in which the Times of
this morning announces the` fact " big with
the fate" of its party, that Mr. Gregory has
been declared by the partisan Sheriffs of
Dublin duly elected • to servd in 'Parliament
as one of the representatives of that. city. The
"satisfaction" which the Times professes to de-
rive from this result, will, we apprehend, be of very
short duration. The pleasing error will not be
allowed to cheat the minds of the Tories many
days after the meeting of Parliainent. The en-
quiry which must be instituted by the House of
Commons into the unfair and illegal practices by
which this mere colourable majority and prede-
termined return ofthe Tory candidate have been
achieved, will lay bare the foul conspiracy which
has been- formed against the electoral rights of the
people. The agents of that conspiracy will scarcely
escape the just vengeance of the law ; the Go-
vernment for which, and .under whose special
patronage, their operations were conducted, will
certainly be subjected to the condemnation and
consequent diminution of public respect and
c-mfidence, divested of which no Government
can long exist in this country. We have in
former articles on this. contest laid before our
readers the shameless manner in which Lord De
Grey has identified the Crown with the Tory party.
The haste—indicative ofth e anxiety with which his
Excellency looked for the arrival of a Tory candi-
date—with which, immediately on his arrival,
Mr. Gregory proceeded to the Castle—the enter-
tainment prepared for him and his chief support-
ers at the Vice-Regal table—the association of
Lord Jocelyn, the High Steward of the Household,
with the canvassing parties—these, and numerous
other modes of expressing the deep interest which
"the highest functionary in the land" took in the
contest, tended to confirm the announcement
of the Government Journals, that Lord De Grey
had " ratified" the choice of the Tories ; and
that, brought forward under such high auspices,
Mr. Gregory's return was secure! Lord De Grey
must be called upon to answer in the House of
Commons, through 'his Secretary, Lon
Eliot, for what appears to us, and mus.
appear to all who respect the Constitu-
tion, and call to mind the jealousy with
which it has provided against the interposition of
the Crown in the choice of representatives of the
people—as nothing short of a bold and daring
attempt to bias and control the proceedings of
an election; and thus to stifle the public voice,
when that voice was likely to express an opinion
unfavourable to the party with which the Lord
Lieutenant, the representative of the Sovereign,
thought proper, personally and officially, to
identify himself.
STANDARD.--It has been complained that
the. Lord Lieutenant ostentatiously interested
himself for the Conservative candidate. This is
not true; and it is not even pretended that Lord
De Grey carried his favour towards Mr. Gregory
to any illegal or unconstitutional extent. But be
this as it may, however Lord De Grey may have
acted, the best judges of his Lordship's conduct,
the parties on the spot, the electors and the mass
of the people approved it. The first have returned
Lord De. Grey's favourite, the others have rested
satisfied with the conduct of the Government
in the election: We do not wish to underrate
the value of the victory
_a Conservative
triumph, or to detract from the merit of the ad-
mirable Conservatives of Dublin; but it would
be unjust to the cause of good government -in
Ireland not to acknoWledge the event of the late
contest as something much more and much
better than a party triumph ; it is a testimony to
the facility with which Ireland may be go-.
verned, if only governed as she is now go-
verned, but as she has never been, save at brief
intervals, within the last fifty years. Here is in-
contestable proof that if the Irish people are suf-
fered by their rulers to rest, if' they are not tor-
mented by officious conciliations and promises
of change never to be effected, or to be effected
at some remote period—if, in short, they are de-
fended from incendiariesand projectors, they will
not be insensible to the blessings of repose, and of a
firm and impartial administration of the law, with-
out which repose is impossible to any people. Dub-
lin surely may be taken as a fair sample of the
island; or, if not a fair sample, the city, presided
over by Mr. Daniel O'Connell, must be regarded
as less than thvourable to the Conservative side.
Yet we see with how much case and how tran-
quilly
,Dublin has been Won. The organised
Conservative bodies' did their work nobly, no
doubt ; but the effect of Lord Be Grey's Govern-
ment had greatly lightened their task ; lightened
it so greatly, as, to • hold out a hope, almost
amounting to certainty, that future Conservative
victories will be almost universal in Ireland, and
what is a prospeet infinitely more gratifying, that
they will be obtained over almost unwilling op-
ponents.

BAIL COURT, Jam 28.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
PEEL AND ANOTHER V. HOWARD AND ANOTHER.

Mr. GODSON, on the part .of Colonel Howard, the de-
fendant in the above cause, applied for a rule
nisi to set aside an award of arbitration in
this case, on the ground that the arbitrator had
exceeded his power. It appeared that, Mr. William
Yates Peel was the proprietor of certain mills,
called the Alder Mills, situated on the river
Tharne, in the neighbourhood of Tamworth, and that'
Colonel Howard was the proprietor of certain islands and
osier- beds higher up the river. These osier-beds had it
was alleged increased to such an extent that they materially
lessened the water-power of the mills. It had been
agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, the arbitrator
having the power to make experiments, and to order
the removal of .any such parts of islands as had been
newly formed. which might interfere 'with the water
power of Alder Mills. Under this power the arbitratoi
had proceeded to remove many islands entirely, which
had existed before the memory of man ; others
which had existed for years before Mr. Peel had pur-
chased Alder Mills, and one on which oaks were actually
growing, which had been there for years. He there-
fore contended, that the arbitrator had exceeded his au-
thority, and on that ground prayed for a rule nisi.
Rule nisi granted.
THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF MIDDLESEX.
In this case, in which Mr.-.AumsoN had the other day
obtained a rule nisi, calling upon the Justices of Middle-
sex to amend their return to a certiorari which had been
obtained in the case of a man named Long, whose appeal
against the decision of certain Justices refusing him
a publican's licence, had been dismissed by the Quarter
Sessions, subject to a special case, all mention of which
special case had been omitted in the return to the
certiorari.

The COURT, after hearing Mr. Bodkin on the other
ide, directed the rule to be made absolute, and the spe-
ial case to be returned.

COURT Op EXCHEQUER, Jan. 28.
PARKES U. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action against the Company, for work
and labour done, and for materials supplied, by
contract. It appeared that the plaintiff contracted
to supply stone, and make a raised way in the neigh-
bourhood of Compton (Barks), at 3s. 9d. per yard.
The agents of the Company disapproved of the man-
ner in which the work was done, and made altera-
tions at an expence of 3d. per yard, informing the
plaintiff from time to time that a correspondinc, deduc-
tion would be made. Ultimately the plaintiff refused to
allow, the deduction,, and brought this action for the
whole amount of the work done. The Jury found for
him, in damages 57/. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow obtained a
rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict
was against evidence,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
111ANSIO2V-HOUSE.
On Saturday an elderly man of respectable appear-
ce, named' John Hesken, was brought before the Lord
Mayor in the custody of Roe, the officer, charged by Mr.
Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank of England, with
having personated Robert Bamford, the elder, and trans-
ferred 1101. Long Annuities, standing in the names of
Robert Bamford, sen., and James Berryman Tippett, on
the 16th of May, 1840.
Mr. Freshfield attended upon the part of the Bank of
England, and Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for
the prisoner.
Mr. Thomas Hall, of the Long Annuities Office in the
Bank, stated that, on the 15th of May, 1840, the sum of
110/., which stood in the book in the joint names of
itobert Bamford, the elder, and James Berryman Tip-
pett, was transferred to the name of Charles Clayser,
Witness did not recollect the person of the prisoner, but
the individual who made the transfer signed the book,
which was accordingly produced.
Mr. Timothy Surr stated that he was acquainted
with the prisoner, and the prisoner's wife's family. The
prisoner had been a tobacconist on Cock-hill, Ratcliffe,
and afterwards resided at Romford, and carried on
business there as a plumber. He subsequently and at
the present time resided at Brighton, and he married
the daughter of Mr. Bamford, senior, of Tilbury, Glen-
cestershire, who was now dead. Mr. Tippett was uncle •
to the prisoner's wife.

and that the call should be considered as a strictly private
one, the invitations were limited to very few, so that at
the elegant dejeuner a kfourchette, no more than 34 sat
down, including his Majesty's suite and the Prussian
`nribassy.

The inhabitants of the • City having at an early
Lour ascertained that his Majesty was at the Ca-
thedral of St. Paul's, assembled in immense numbers
n the streets, leading from that building to the Mansion-
musel to greet him, although there was a very general
report that he had promised to lunch with the Duke of
Sussex, at Kensington Palace. As his Majesty passed
alonfr the multitudes cheered him most enthusiastically,
and his Majesty returned the welcome in a cordial
manner, that delighted all who saw him. •
The carriage is which his Majesty and the Lord
Mayor were conveyed to the Mansion-house was
followed by that of the Duke of Cambridge, who
evidently felt high gratification in visiting the City on
such an occasion. His Ros al Highness's carriage was
tillowed by those of the suite of the King of Prussia and
the Prussian Embassy.
At a quarter-past twelve the Lady Mayoress was in-
formed that his Majesty was on his way from St. Paul's,
and in a very few minutes the applause of the crowds in.
the immediate vicinity of the Mansion-house, announced
the King's arrival.
The Sword-bearer and the Mace-bearer met his Ma-
jesty at the bottom of the steps leading to the public
trance to the Mansion-house, and preceded his Majesty,
the Lord Mayor, and the Duke of Cambridge, to the
saloon, where the Lady Mayoress and Mrs. Fry were
waiting to receive the King. -•
His Majesty, upon being - introduced to the Lady
Mayoress by thy Lord Mayor; expressed great satisfac-
tion at having the opportunity of forming an acquaint-
ance with her Ladyship; and upon perceiving Mrs. Fry,
his Majesty said, in an earnest tone, which was heard by
all present,"Ah, my dear friend, I am very, very happy,
to see you. His Majesty then walked arm-in-arm with
the Lady Mayoress into the drawing-room, followed by
the Duk of Cambridge and Mrs. Fry, and_ the suite and
embassy of the King of Prussia.
About ten minutes, or a quarter of an hour, after the
arrival of his Majesty, the ddeuner -.vas announced, and
the company prceeeded from the drawing-room to the
splendid (lining-room immediately opposite to it, called
the Long Parlour, which was lighted up with gas, and
decorated. The tables were covered with a collation,
consisting of all the delicaCies which could, at such a
time, be produced, and of first-rate Burgundy, -Madeira,
sherry, claret, and other wines, selected by the judg-
ment of Mr. Robinson, the Lord Mayor's steward, ivho
has long been celebrated, for his discrimination in such
matters.
At the cross table sat, to the right of the Lord Mayor,
