BAZ./tLGETTZ V. BAZALGETTE.

The Court then proceeded to hear this petition in private.
His HONOUR, upon an application being made to him to
hear upon a future day a "notion for an injunction, stated that
he should leave town to-morrow ; that on Friday and Satur-
day he should be in the Isle of Wight, probably on Monday in
London, and afterwards in the county of Durham ; and the
parties, therefore, if they thought proper, might attend him at
any of those places.—(A laugh.)

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER,)
TURNISA U V. SMITH.

A DELICATE Arrlia.—This was an action to recover the
sum of 11/. Ws. Bd. far rent.

Mr. Tstoszas,whoapie;ed for the plaintiff, said that the
defendant was a partner in the firm of Payne and Smith,
bankers. The action was to recover the amount of rent of
apartments. The defendant had pleaded that he never
was indebted, payment, and set off. It was difficult
to say which defence would be depended upon,
but he understood the real defence was, that he
was not liable, that the apartments were occupied by a female
who passed as his wife, but who was not so in fact. It was,
however, clear that in law if a person allowed a female to pass
under his name he was responsible for the debts she might
incur. He (the Learned Counsel) trusted that, for the sake
of honour and decency, such a defence would be repudiated by
the jury.
Mr. Sealevieposed that a Mrs. Heathcote lived at plaintiff's
house in Pratt-street, and afterwards in King-street, Camden-
town. Defendant used to be there four or five days a week,
and lived with her as his wife. He used to ask if his wife was
at home. They always conducted themselves in a very be-
coming manner. The house was a very respectable one, and
he had not the slightest idea that they were not married.
Mr. HARRISON then addressed the jury for the defendant.
He did not deny that there had been an intimacy between de-
fendant and Mrs. Heathcote, whose real name was Cousins,
and contended that she took the lodgings herself, and therefore
that the defendant was not liable ; that plaintiff knew very well
that the woman was not married, and even that the defendant's
name was not Heathcote but Smith, and had actually bor-
rowed money of him, and signed a promissory note for
the amount, promising to repay him in the name of Smith. As
to the law of the case, it had been held by Lord Ellenborough,
that to render, a person liable the female must not only pass
under his name, but reside under his roof as one of his family.
In this case it was clear that the woman had never passed un-
der the name of Smith, and that the defendant was only a
casual visitor, for an immoral purpose, with the knowledge of
the plaintiff.

and believed she had paid all. Mr. Smith used to call about
lelabh
twice a week. She never lived with him as his wife. Never
passed as a married woman, but it was not a fair question to
ask who had supported her. Plaintiff knew her before she
went to live at his house, and must have known she was not a
married woman. _

Mr. THOMAS contended that the plaintiff had no knowledge
of any impropriety, and that the plea of payment had not been
made out, even if the witness had spoken the truth. He consi-
dered the defence, under any circumstances, was very dis-
creditable.

The Learned SECONDARY left the case tothe jury, who gave
a verdict for the amount claimed.

BOW-STREET—(THIS DAY)
John Scott,
town," was charged before Mr. Twyford with stealing a watch,
six sovereigns, and some otter money, from John Fox, a
broker, living near Long-acre.
It appeared from the statements of a multiplicity of wit-
nesses, that the prosecutor and a friend of his, by name Wm.
Merry, met the prisoner at the bar of a public-house in Bow-
street, and went with him to a coffee-house in the same street,
where they had some coffee. The prosecutor and his friend
fell asleep almost immediately, from the effects, as they asserted,
of some drugs which had been mixed with the coffee, and, on
waking up, the by no means cunning Fox found
the prisoner having decamped. The two
that he had been robbed of his watch, six sovereigns,
farnidendssome
immediatelysilver' stated the case to the waiter, who knew
the man, and directed them to a public-house which he
frequented, and at which he was found. On being taken to
the station-house, he was searched, and 3/. 15s. found upon
him. It was admitted by the witness Merry, that the prisoner
did not sit next the prosecutor, that he was between
them. _

Mr. TWYFORD said that there was no proof that tie
prisoner was the person who had drugged the prose-
eutor and his friend, and it seemed hardly possible that
he could have put anything into the cup of one person when
another was between them ; he should therefore discharge the
prisoner, but recommended the prosecutor to give him in cus-
tody again if any further evidence could be got against him.
The money found on the prisuarr was returned to him, and
he left the. Court in high spirits, therein affording a striking
contrast to the discomfited prosecutor.

THE RIVER PLATE.—News is said to have been
brought to Cadiz by a vessel which sailed from the River Plate
about the middle of June last, whereby we are given to under-
stand that General Rosas had acceded to the demands of the
English and French Governments, and had consented to with-
draw the Buenos Ayrean troops from the territory of Monte
Video. The terms of the pacification are said to be—that both
the rival candidates for the presidency of the republic of Uru-
guay, Generals Oribe and Rivera, should be passed over, and
that a new election for president should take place immediately.
The authenticity of this news is more probable, inasmuch as it
agrees with the terms which England and France have proposed
and insisted upon It was also represented that the Govern-
ment of Monte Video had issued a general amnesty to all
Parties who would come in and submit themselves within
twenty days.

APPROPRIATE TRIBUTE.—A package arrived a few
days since by the Dutch steam-ship Batavier, from Rotterdam,
containing a silver cup, as a present from Mr. A. Ahlers, jun.,
of Amsterdam, the owner of the Dutch ship Jan Hendrick,
recently wrecked on St. Paul's Rock, to Captain Roxby, of
the ship Chance, as a small token of his estimation of the
praiseworthy and heroic conduct displayed by that gentleman,
by which a portion of the crew of the first-named vessel were
saved from a watery grave. A certificate of her Majesty's
Consul at Rotterdam accompanied it, declaring to the contents
of the package, the reason of the shipment of the goblet, and
the purpose to which it was intended to be applied, and a re-
quest has been made to the revenue authorities to allow it to
be delivered, under the circumstances, to the recipient free of
duty. So distinct and appropriate a reward of merit is
equally honourable to Captain Roxby and to the gentleman
who so kindly and justly appreciates the gallant conduct of our
countryman. The cup has inscribed on it an appropriate
dedicative description of the cause of its presentation, &c.
ESTATE OP KELLY.—If proof was wanting to
show what an extraordinary increase hes taken place in the
value of land in this country during the last half century, we
might point to the great price which the sale of each successive
i
estate brings that s put into the market. In the Scot's Maga-
zine of 1792 it is stated that the estate of Kelley, in Renfrew-
shire, was sold in that year to John Wallace, Esq., fur 10,7501.
The same estate, when sold the other day, brought 65,000/.,
although denuded of a valuable part of the shore-ground,
which has been retained by the late proprietor. There is no
other commodity in this country which is at all to be compared
to land for an increase of value, especially if that land has
received proper attention in agricultural improvement similar
to the estate of Kelly.— Glasgow Saturday Post.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Liverpool market yesterday the sales of Cotton were
6,000 bales, including 1,200 American on speculation. Prices
were very fully.supported,more especially for the middling de-
scriptions, which were becoming scarce, and the demand was
chiefly for those sorts. A good business was done in shares,
and generally at improving prices.
The following are some interesting items respecting the
state of the Island of Ceylon :—" Accounts are now ar-
riving from Europe of the prices realised by the different
samples of last year's coffee, and, upon the whole, they must
be deemed satisfactory, considering the unfavourable season.
What shall we do this year ?
" Speculators have now fine opportunities for the invest-
ments of capital, several fine ready made estates are already
advertised, and we hear of a splendid property which is
shortly to be offered without reserve to the highest bidder,
under circumstances promising a rare chance to capitalists ;
despite this, new pieces are being commenced in all directions,
and each year adds thousands to our list of coffee acres.
" Since the commencement of the present month the weather
has again become dry and settled, and there seems a pro-
bability of a few days continuance of it. when we may ex •
pect useful showers. Coolies are in fair supply, as sickness
is abating. The central province is barren of news."
As to produce transactions, they are described as being at
the very lowest ebb, and likely to remain so for some little
time. Nearly the whole of the remaining portion of plantation
crops had been shipped off; and though there were still a
few odd parcels of that description,.as well as of native coffee,
in the Colombo Godowns, the season's crops might fairly
be considered to have left the island. They had
turned out much earlier than those of last year;
and, although up to the (late of our advices, the
exports somewhat exceeded the shipment, in the like period
of 1844, it was supposed that on the entire year ending Oct.
5, the exports would be found about on,a'par. Freights con-
tinued steady at 51. ss. for coffee, and 61. 6s. for cinnamon,
with only two vessels in the roads. The Ceylon Observer
states :
"As yet no spice has found its way into the hands of
dealers, the peelings having not long commenced ; the cut-
tings of plantation cinnamon promise tolerably well, but
there appears every probability of the peelings from jungle
bushes turning out far short o? the past year. We do not
hear any more of the petition for reducing the shilling ex-
port duty on the spice. How is this? We know not a
better time to urge it on our Legislature."
The English Stocks have been quiet again, and there is
no buoyancy in prices, with the exception of Bank Stock,
which is up to 2111 A and 212%. East India Stock has
been at 271 to 272, being a shade lower. The New Three
and-a-Quarter per Cents, have realised 102% and the
Three per Cents., 995,E %. On Exchequer-bills the premium
is 495. to 51s. The Government broker is still a buyer of
stock.

There is as limited a business as ever doing in Spanish
Bonds, but prices remain about the same as previously. The
Five per Cents. are 271,1, and the Three per Cents. Wm' %.
Mexican Bonds have been worth 343% to 35 for the Active,
and 18% for the Deferred. Columbian Stock is steady at
181, and Brazilian at 89.
The Railway Share market is lively for the scrips at im-
proving rates, but the old lines seem generally to be rather
flatter, because in some measure they are neglected. Among
the favourite scrips we notice London and York, Staines and
Richmond, Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales, South
Midland, and Manchester, Buxton, and Midland, Manchester
and Southampton ; and one or two others not yet officially
quoted are also at good premiums.

THE LATE FRACAS AT THE EAST INDIA-HOUSE..--
The case of Gordon v. Willock and another, which was to have
been heard this morning at the Mansion .house, was adjourned
by consent till Monday next, at one o'clock, in consequence of
the unavoidable absence of Sir Henry Willock upon official bu-
siness. The case is one of considerable importance, and ex-
cites much interest among the members of the East India Com-
pany, involving, as it does, the right of the Chairman of the
Board of Directors to preside, ex officio, at the Court of Pro-
prietors. Mr. Parry attended as counsel for Mr. Peter Gor-
don, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Lawford for Sir H. Willock.
