NISI PRTUS COURT— Tuesday , March 10 . ( Before Mr . Justice Coleridge . J His Lordship sat this morning at nine o ' clock precisely . SPEgDT AHD OTHSRS V . TORS . Mr . Ddhdas and Mr . Waison were for the plainiifc : Mr . Gboswell and Mr . Martin for the defendant . The action was brought to recover demurrage on a Yessel , for its . QBdn * detention . The . plaintiffs are Messrs Speedy , and Co ., the owners of a vessel named the Robert RaUces : the defendant is a gentleman
residing at Hall , trading under the firm of Ton and Co , The TWBel was chartered from Hamburg to Hull with between 500 and 600 quarters of wheat , and the alleged detention was at Hall , from the 2 nd to the 7 hl of January , contrary to the ' bill of lading . Oa the bill being produced , an objection vu raised by Mr . Cresswell that it was not indorsed , * Bd . con 3 emMatiy eoold not be given in evidence . His * Lordship accordingly directed a nonsuit , observing that it was not shown the defendant was consignee , bat mereij agent .
TEOXAXS « . CHAMBERS . Mr . CaxsswzLL and Mr . Hoggins were for the plaintiff ; Mr . Dujcdas was for the defendant . The plaintiff is a tradesman in Sheffield , and the defendant an attorney in that town ; the action was brought to recover damages fw a libel , written in a letter seat to the plaintiff by the defendant after an action in which Mr . Chambers client had been non-Baited . Whilst Mr . Cresswell was stating the facts Cftiec ^ ae , Mr . Duxdas rose and said , that the defendant had written the letter in a moment of irritation and annoyance , that he was sorry for having done so . and
desired to anetegae in the most explicit and unreserved manner . The parties iad arranged terms ; the defendant was to pay costs as between attorney and client , and bad also agreed to pay a certain sum to a charitable institution in Sheffield . TBe Leaned Ju |» e e ^ reased his approfal of the © our *? pursaed . The best thing was not to get into * scrape ; Ae next best thing was to get out of it as boos as possible . A true gentleman , when he had done wrong , was always anxious to make the fullest apology . A * verdict was then entered for the plaintiff by tonsent .
LATOOCX V . HIBSX . Mr . C&EsswKLL and Mr . Addisos were for the plaintiil "; Mr . Dcttdas and Mr . Hoqgirs were for the defendant . Mr . Layeock 1 b a farmer at Hnddersfield , and Mr . Hirst a dealer in hay in that town , and ike action wasbroaght to recover the value of some hay , purchased in December last . The defence "w&s , that the hay was in a bad condition , and that it was sold as be&g good , marketable hay . Verdict for the plaintiff , damages £ 22 1 b . WOODCOCK , JU 5 . V . TSXFEST .
This was an action of trespass , for a false seizure Of property under the Sheriff ' s warrant . Mr . Ceessvnax and Mr . Waxsok were for the plaintiff , a journeyman , direr plater residing at Sheffield ; Mr . XhDCDAs and Mr . Bajlses were for the nominal defendant , Charles Robert Tempest , Esq ., late High Sheriff of "Yorkshire . T ^ Mr . Ckkswell said the plaintiff was an industrious young , man , and complained that the Sheriff ' s officers levied on his goods , instead of those of the person against whom the writ warissued . The circumstances of the case were fhese : —The plaintiff , whose parents reside in the neighbourhood of Sheffield , had Bared a little money , and intended to form a matamooial engagement . He had an uncle ,
samea William Woodcock , who was not very veil * off , and he proposed to dispose of hu furniture to his nephew , in order that he might have money u > pay Mb debts . He became purchaser of the property on the 12 th of March , and paid about £ 3 dfbrii . The plaintiff then went and obtained the landlord to take him as tenant for the house formerly occupied by his uncle in Regent-street . On the 18 ; h of Aagust he quited that house , and . went into Broad Lane . He allowed his uncle to live on the premises , on his paying 3 s . 6 d . or 4 s . per week . In November , a bailiff entered with a writ against Mr . Woodcock , and although they had notice that the furniture belonged to the plaintiff ^ they took it in execution . Several witnesses were called to prove
the purchase of the furniture from Mr . Wm . Woodcock , the change of the tenancy of the premises to John , and the payment of rent and rates by him , and also the trespass by the . bailifia . Mr . Duttdas , in bis speech for the defence charged on the plaintiff , that instead of being what he was represented , -m respectable ,. industrious Sheffield plater , he had kut himatlfjioafraodv and that the pretended sale on tte 12 tb of March was a joggle between the nephew and ancle , to defeat the erediton of the latter , in the execution which was about to be levied on his property . An action was brought last March Assaes against William Woodcock , the Terdici was not decided ( in consequence of a point of law ) reserved , until the 28 th of March ; then the house in Regent s-temce was closed ; and another taken in Broad-laae , due precautions being first had that the tenancy should appear to be in the nephew
though the uncle still resided with his family on the premises , though no change had taken place in the furniture , though the nephew principally remained at his father ' s nouse and had no occasion for a house of his owm , and though the unde still earned on Ms usual business , having the same sign in the window , and requesting those for whom he transacted business to address him at hu house , No . 148 , Broadlane . The Leaned Counsel concluded a powerful speech by calling upon the Jury to protect hu clients , -who had all been prevented from giving evidence by being made defendants on therecord , and who had otif acted in the bonafide execution of their duty , by preventing collusion asd fraud . Mr . Baixxs appeared for Jackson , one of the -fJafflnHanta , and contended that no sufficient evidence had been given , to fix him with a share in the trespass , if the Jury should be of opinion that a trespass had been committed .
The judgment in Jackson v . Cummins and others was proved ; after which evidence was given to shew that the furniture was taken from Regent ' s Terrace to Broad-street in a clandestine manner , in the evenings , from six to eight o ' clock . One witness , ¦ who resided next door to the plaintiff ' s house in Broad-lane , stated that he had never seen him there , although he often saw Wm . Woodcock and his family in the house . Mr . C&bsswxu . replied , and daring his remarks
observed that this was not the defence of the Sheriff or his bailiffs , bat of Jackson , and Mr . Broomhead , his attorney . He also contended that if even the transfer of the property were made ( of which he submitted there was no proof ) with a new to defeat the execution , still if thai transfer were folly effected at the time the writ was issued , the plaintiff was entitled to recover . And they could sot believe the change had not taken place without imputing to the witnesses for the plaintiff ttie most gross and delibezat * perjury .

The Learned Jvmk , in summing np , said he thought it extremely wrong , and unjust that the auctioneer and the bailiffs' cleric , who had taken a most inconsiderable and ianooent part in the tnuaaetka , ' should be made defendants oa the record , and thus be rendered responsible for the whole amount of damages and costs . It was often done , bat it was both an inconvenient and harsh proceeding . His Lordship then gave an abstract of the evidence as applicable to the' Jasoea , notgullty , and that the goods did not belong to Wm . Woodcock bat to the plaintiff , agreeing with the law lagi down by Mr . - _ _ _
Cresswell , that however di&honett the motives of the parties , still if the property had passed at the time of the seizure , it belonged to the plaintiff , and the sale of it under the sheriff ' s warrant was void . If they foundfor the plaintiff , bis Lordship advised them to give only the value of goods , and not any additional damages . The Jury retired , and after an absence of about tea minutes , returned -a- verdict for the defendant . [ The first issue , that of trespass , was of coarse entered for the plaintiff . !
HASXS AKD AjrOTHBK » . XA 8 SDKK . llfeRrs . Cbssswha and Kkowles were for the plaintiff ; Messrs . Alrxaitoks ana Wighthak for the defendant . The action was brought by Messrs Haste and Sharp , woolstaplers at Bradford , to recover from the defendant , Mr . Isaac Marsden , £ 142 on a bill of exchange , dated in September , 1889 , and p ayable three months after date . The note was mdorsed " Isaac Marsden by his son , Abraham Jobson Marsden , who was a partner in the firm of Snowden , Sngden , and Co ., scribblers . The principal question in the ease was , whether Mr . Marsden had given Mb son authority to affix his name to the bill . When the plaintiff ' s case had closed , Mr . Alexander announced his intention of calling
the son of the defendant and Mr . Sugden to prove that the former nadnot the authority of his father for affixing hia n&me to the instrument . After this instruction , the Learned Judge suggested the propriety of a private investigation , becaose if the son . were called aod gave the evidence stated by Mr . Alexander , it was probable a bill of irdictment might be presented against "him for forgery . Some conversation then took place , and ultimately the matter was agreed to be referred . It waa-now five o ' clock , - and bis Lordship endeavoured to « btain , another action , bat was unable to do so . Hettgjeforesent into the Crown Court , and was supplied with the indictment in a charge of highway robbery . '
William Priestley was charged with having on the 6 th of July , at the parish of Dewsbury , feloniously assaulted George Brierley , and robbed him of twenty sovereigns , and other articles , his property . Mr . Bainks was for the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr . Hiltard . The prosecutor was a gentleman of fortune residing at Mirfield , near Dewsbury . On the 6 th of July , he was returning home from Huddersfield , and on bis way passed through Brighouse about eight o ' clock . When aboat half a mile from the latter place , several men and a woman came up to him ; the man immediately behind the woman he recognized as the prisoner . The woman threw her arms aboat himwhilst the man
, palled him down , and held him whilst they sueceeded in taking from his pockets twenty sovereigns , and other articles of value . The prosecutor ' s testimony of identity was confirmed by-that of a person who met the prisoners in company with two or three other men and a woman , at a very short distance from the place where the robbery was committed . The Learned Counsel also stated that he should show that be was in the . company of Wilson and Keithley , on the early part of the same day , and these men were convicted at the last assizes of this
highway robbery . He should also prove that whea Murray , the police officer , attempted to seeret the men of whom the prisoner was one , they rushed out of the house . Mr . Hildyaad objected that the indictment was not in conformity with the recent statute . It stated that the prisoners committed the robbery in the company of persons to the jurors unknown , whereas it appeared that two of them had been already convicted of the same offence . The learned JuiXM-overruled the objection , after which Mr . HUdyard addressed the Jury on the doubtful question of identity . The Jury found the prisoner Guilty . Judgment deferred .
Wednesday , March 11 . At the sitting of the Court this morning , Wm . Priestley , convicted last night of highway robbery , was called up for judgment . Mr . Hildtaw ) repeated his objection urged yesterday , and hia Lordship over ruled it , sentencing the prisoner w be transported for fifteen years .
POLLAXD C . BOOTH AND OTHERS . ~ Messrs . Cresswkll and Wightmah were for the plaintiff ; Messrs . Ddkdas and Watson for the defendant The action was brought to recover compensation for the breach of an ^ ajreement entered into between the parties in Pela » a * f , 1825 , by which the defendants entered on a qrikiijr , ' situate in the neighbourhood of Bradford , and agreed' to work It in a workmanlike manner . The defendant pleaded the general issue After a technical point bad been disposed of , and before any -witnesses had been called , the Learned Jodge suggested that this was a very proper case tot a reference to some gentleman , who might investigate the facts , see the quarry , and adjudicate on the ease . The parties , after some conservation , agreed to the suggestion ; and a rerdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff , subject to a reference .
SIMPSOK AWD OTHEBS V . CARE . The plaintife In this case are masons at Dewsbury ; the defendant is a woollen-manufacturer , and the lessee of the Spring Mill , near that town . The plaintiffs had been employed to effect some alterations in the mill , and the amount of their bill wag £ 98 6 s . 6 & , of which sum £ 78 had been paid , leaving a balance of- £ 20 6 s . 6 d . remaining due .

There were nine venues , but the cases were unimportant . The Calendar contains the names of upwards of eighty prisoners . [ Before Mr . Justice Coltman . } THE QUEEN v . ROBERTS , CARRIER AND POTTS . It was arranged that these 4 ef « ad * nt * should i * k » their trial on Monday , wsA at the opening of the Court it was speedily threaged by many aojdoas spectators . The defendants ,. who had taken a very active part in the Chartist demonstration which occurred in this county in 1838 , and daring the coby > meneement of the following year , traversed the indictments preferred agaiust them at the last assizes , and now appeared to take their trials in discharge
of their recogniaaaees . The defendant , Roberts , Is the attorney of Bath , who was apprehended and sub * sequently dueharged , soon after the outbreak at Newport , upon the occasion of his going down to that place alter the apprehension of Frost . Carrier is also a Terr active supporter of fJWwjjgm , and has been elected as a delegate to the National Convention . Potts , the other defendant , is a druggist , residing at Trowbridge , in this county , where he has a shop in the Market-place , and it was from the leads over bis shop-window that the defendants had been accustomed to deliver their orations . Mr . Erie , Mr . Bere , and Mr . Hodges were retained for the Crown , and Mr . Coekbem and Mr . Stone defended Roberta , Carrier and Potts intimated to the Leirned Judge that they intended to defend themselves .
Several jurymen were objectedto on the part of the Crown , and also by the defendants , and the witnesses on both sides were ordered out of the court . Mr . Hodges opened the pleadings . The indictment charged that the defendants beingjwioked , seditious , and lU-disposed persona , did conspire with divers other disaffected persons , unlawfully and seditiously to assemble together , to disturb the peace , and to raise and excite discontent and disaffection in the minds of her .

Mr . Erie sajd that the ofiance charged in the indictment was one of considerable magnitude . There could be no doabt hot that meetings of persons , conducted in such a manner as to create terror and alarm , were unlawful .

guided and ignorant persons were iadooed to jo&in these unlawful assemhUes by th « TnpmatiirtHlcyiu « f other persons , and therefore th * present indictment had beenpreferred against AeSslort active ofthe party .- Upon a ehaiw of conspiracy it was ' impossible , in most Wes , fo prore ifie act -of cttftsplriM , and therefore it became necessary to eolleet the nature of the conspiracy from theaetscf the persons who were charged . In September ,, 1838 , Carrier , one of the defendants , had been elected a delegate to the National Convention then assembled in London .

to call together tie Chartist meeting m the Market Place , as there was a detachment of Chartists to go from Trowbridge to Bevize ? . I went to the Market Place and saw Potts walking about with a lifepreserver in his hand . Many persons were collected , several hundreds . I saw Carrier on the leads over Potts's Bhop . A life-preserver was handed to him from the window . He said , " We are going to Devises ; these are the weapons we must use . bat you are not to lay them about the poor smock fellows ^ out the Dandy Jack boot fellows .

This witness also spoke of the meeting at Trowbridge on the 1 st of April . I saw the flags and banners . One was a dark flag , with a
death ' s head and marrow bones , and inscribed" Death or Glory . " There were other flags bearing mottos— " Universal Suffrage "— " Vote by Ballot " — "No Church and State . " Many of the people with bludgeons . I saw other meetings at about the Bame time . They were noisy and tumultuous . Upon one occasion I heard one oi the speakers say it was their object , or the object of the Convention , to create a gloom and terror throughout the kingdom j and pistols were discharged by persons in the crowd . The language used wat rery exciting . I heard Carrier say that " Lucifer matches were very good things to carry about when walking , and that one hundred could be bought for a penny . I have Been the defendants at these meetings , and they were the principal leaders .
Cross-examined by Mr . Cockburn : I was not alarmed on the 1 st of April ; but the mob and the bludgeons would have frightened other people . I made minutes of the speeches which I then h # ard .

The witness was cross-examined by the defendant , and also by Potts , for upwards of an hour . At length Potts said . "I tee you area little tired , and therefore I will ask yon no more questions . "
One of the defendants also intimated that the trial would continue for several days . John Hatton Stapleton was the next witness called . He gave a similar account of the meeting at Trowbridge on the 1 st of April . I heard Carrier say , upon one occasion , from Potts ' s leads . 41 They talk of special constables , policemen , and soldiers—one box of lucifer matches is worth them all . " In Potts ' s window I saw for several days a basin full of musket bullets , with a label , inscribed Torypills . " I heard Carrier say , alluding to this . "That he should recommend for the Tories Monson's pilL No . 1—if they were not strong enough , then Morison ' a pill , No . 2-4 tnd if they would not do , then he ahoald recommend the pill invented by Mr .

THE DORCHESTER LABOURERS . The Dorchester Committee have at length terminated their labours ; the defalcation alluded to in a part of our last week's impression , having been made good by the timely aid of a gentleman who has never been backward in acts of a generous nature , connected with poblie funds . We lamest , however , to be compelled to state that , notwithstandinir , the pecuniary part of the business has been at length satisfactorily arranged , the Committee felt it necessary to call in legal advice as to a threatened action for libel , on the part of Mr . Hartwell , the former secretary ; and the items in the balance sheet having called forth some awkward questions on the part of subscribers , the secretary made a statement , to which the following is a brief , but faithful outline . Certain sums of money had been entrusted to Mr . Hartwell to pay to Messrs . Lofty and Potter , * t she leases of
the labourers' farm ; having neglected to do whioh , Mr . Hartwell produced a receipt or receipts to the winiitftUe , purporting to be signeet by a clerk of Messrs * L ; and R . rbot , 4 »^ o 4 utrf tome mon ths after ; 'the sum * , silt aptisaWfoiarf ^ ' * eea paid until very rooenUy ; W * iwa ^ tfcere any such person in Messri . LofVaad P * tt * i mpk > 3 r ^ as the name signed on the alleged reoeipia . The Secretary having stated these facts to the Committee , and the subscribers still believing that Mr . Hartwell could not . have so acted without " their cognisance , the result was a resolution of a certain description , which Mr . Hartwell threatened to punish by an action for libel ; the Committee heretofore took legal advice , and the following letter from the attorney was now read : —
" 35 , King-street , Cheapaide , "February 29 th , 1 & 40 . " Sib , —In pursuance of the arrangement to that effect made en the interview , at our effiae , between you and us , this morning , we addtats you lor the information of the Committee , in ttlatioft to the resolutions passed concerning the ooadnot of Mr . Hartwell , one of which being to the effect , that his conduct in producing a forged reoeipt to the Committee , was most intamous , and the eifcer « f them going the length of declaring him to bo unfit to hold money for ' any patriotic of public parpete . Perhaps , under the enrcumstances that would vome out in proof ; in the event of an action , oov ^« l with Mr . Hartwell ' 8 admissions , mat at tcwU-mi written , a Jurr might find , and the , preaidtag Judge night think the - Jury . justinea isi so ¦ doing , a verdict for the defendant . We- aitould ,

Balance 0 0 0 $ At the Cobbett dinner , oa Monday nigHt , a report of . which appears in another column , the following exquisitely characteristic anecdote was related of the deceased member for Oldham : —** A disciple of Johanna Southcott had got into trouble for some act connected with the duty on soap ; and two of his friends , belonging to the same sect , waited on Mr . Cobbett , to solicit hid influence in procuring a mitigation of the punishment . The two were generally intelligent , and had a long conversation with Mr . Cobbett , iu the course of whioh they discovered to that gentleman that they were disciples of the Virgin Mother of the modern Shiloh . Mr . Cobbett fixed
one of his very peculiar looks on them for about half a minute , and then with 'bated breath , asked , 'Are *?** iP ^ l ' * Upjn . their replying in the affirma-. tive , the Hon .

Tragical Occurrence at Rickhansworrh , in Hertfordshire . —Within the last few days an unusual sensation has been produced at Riokmansworth , in Hertfordshire , in consequence of a very shocking circumstance which has taken place in that village . A few months baok a young m « n , named Henry Thompson , about twenty years of age , whose father is a veterinary surgeon , in good circumstances , living in the village , became acquainted with a young woman , named Louisa Humphries . About a week or ten days before the sad occurrence took place , a disagreement occurred between them . A reconciliation afterwards took place , and they sought each other's society as anxiously as ever . On Saturday evening last , they were noticed walking together in
a field in the vicinity of Money-hill . It was very evident that they were quarrelling from their gestures , andfrom ^ helr not walkiiwaii ^ inarm . They were not seen or heard of after the above hour until shortly after dark ; the wretched young mnn was met staggering through the village near his father ' s house , the blood flowing from his neck , and a bloody claspknife clenched in his right hand . Immediately after he was observed , he feu heavily on the ground , near the Fox and Hounds , no doubt from exhaustion , produced by loss of blood ; the knife had previously dropped from his hand . A number of persons instantly collected on the spot , when i t was discovered that the young man had inflicted a desperate wound in his neck . He was sensible , and exclaimed
repeatedly—* Oh , God , forgive me , I have murdered my dear Louisa ! " The assembled persons knowing the unhappy young man , conveyed him to his fathers house , and a surgeon was sent for . He told hit parents add others present that he had murdered 4 be poor girl , Humphries , by cuttingher throat . He said he committed the atrocious act in consequence of jealousy ; that his victim had fallen on her knees and prayed for her life , but he was inexorable ; that ne effected his purpose with a clasp-knife , and left her in a field ; that he afterwards inflicted a wound upon his own throat , but wishing to see his parents again to pray for their forgiveness before he died , he ran towards his father ' s house , but fell before he reached it . The wound was dressed , but pronounced to be of the most dangerous nature . The unfortunate idrL Humphries , was found ali ™ .
but weltering in her blood . She was conveyed to her father ' s house , where she now lies under the care of a surgeon in a most precarious state . § hehas not yet been able to give any account of the transaction . On Monday , ! the magistrates of the district attended at each of the houses where the unhappy young people live . Thompson is in custody , and should his wound take a favourable turn , he will be examined on the charge of attempted murder . There are , however , but small hopes of the recovery of either . It knot supposed that Thompson premedi tated the attack , but that it arose from a paroxysm of jealoosy . He has hitherto borne a good character . The poor girl , Humphries , is only eighteen years of age , and or prepossessing ; appearance . She has ever conducted herself with propriety . and is greatly beloved by her parents and relatives . She declares that then was no ground for her lover ' s jealousy .
