THE constantly increasing demand for the above Waters, have, as might naturally be expected, produced a num- ber of Rivals and Competitors, some of whom, both in the Metropolis and in the provinces, attempt an ephemeral celebrity, by surreptitiously assuming the name of the above Firm, both on their bottles and labels.

The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved incontestahly, by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. Assurances may either be effected by Parties on their own Lives, or by Parties interested tlterein on the Lives of others The effect of an Assiuance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in eversion, which can by no other means be realized.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE. COURT OF REQUESTS, CASTLE-STREET. SHARMAN V. LORD MONTEAGLE. Much surprise was created in this court last week by tlie presence of Lord Monteagle, accompanied by several friends and gentlemen connected with the Treasury and other Go- vernment offices. The plaintiff, William Sharman, who, it appears, was for- merly a constable in the city police stated that he claimed the ? sum of £ D which he had put into the hands of Lord Monteagle for the purpose of procuring him a situation under Government. A Cominissioner.-Are you sure that Lord Montearle re- ceived the money ? M^'agie 68 1 8aW tbC m°ney ia the hands of Lord The Commissioners then called on Lord Monteagle for his answer, when His Lordship stated, that one afternoon in the month of abo.ut entering the House of Peers, tbe plaintiff put a letter into his hands which he did not then stay to open, but broke the seal and examined after entering the house when he found that it contained an enclosure, which proved to be a Bank of England note for £5, with a request that he would procure for the writer a situation under Go- vernment either as a Custom-house officer, or as a letter- carrier in the Post-office. Immediately after he (Lord Mont- eagle) returned to the entrance of the house and inquired of the police-constable on duty whether he had seen a person lit give him a letter ? The officer replied in the affirmative, upon which he directed the policeman to endeavour to find the in- dividual and bring him back. The policeman tried for some time, but was unsuccessful in his search. He (Lord Mont- eagle) consequently retained possession of the note and the letter till the plaintiff applied for an answer. Bein,, then desirous to ascertain whether the writer had offended against the law in ignorance, he granted him an interview, when, finding that his knowledge of such matters was much superior to that of the lower orders in general, he referred the plaintiff to the Lords of the Treasury, and sent his letter and the en- closure to their Lordships, who after some consideration de- termined, although a very bad case, that they would not indict the writer, but resolved on paying the L5 note into the Bank of England, to the credit of the Exchequer, as conscience money, which was accordingly done on the 28th of December, 1840. The plaintiff after applying several times to official parties to ascertain the result, was referred to him (Lord Monteagle), who referred him back to the Lords of the Treasury, and after some time, as the plaintiff found he could not obtain either restitution of his money or the appointment he sought, he took out the present summons. His Lordship, in confirmation of his statement, produced the Treasury minutes, and various official letters and docu- ments, including the bank receipt for the L5 note, and was about to produce Mr. Bulley, of the Treasury, and other witnesses, when The Commissioners intimated that they were satisfied that the plaintiff bad no claim on his Lordship,and dismissed the case
SHERIFFS' COURT, HERTFORD.
SHERIFFS' COURT, HERTFORD. CRIM. CON.—WALKER V. MEREDITH. This was an action brought to recover damages for crimi- nal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The defendant having suffered judgment by default, a jnry was now empanelled to determine what compensation the plaintiff was entitled to. The plaintiff, Mr. Henry J. Walker, is a substantial fat> mer, residing near Hemel Hempstead. The defendant, Mr? Thomas Meredith, is a professor of music. The plaintiff, having a family of children by a former marriage, had engaged the defendant to give his daughters instruction on the piano- forte and singing. Mrs. alker, who was a young woman of humble origin, not having had an opportunity of acquiring- those accomplishments in early life, hinted to her husband a wish that he would permit her likewise to take lessons from the defendant when he visited the house. While receiving instructions an improper intimacy grew up, the parties were much together. One evening some household affairs called the young ladies out of the room in which the family had dined, when one of the female domestics, who was going in with fresh coals, was astonished to see, reflected in a looking glass over the mantel- shelf, her mistress and the defendant seated on the sofa, his arm elapsed round her waist. The girl's curiosity was ex- cited, but she forbore to enter the apartment, resolving, how- ever, to watch their conduct. The party broke up early that night. Mrs. Walker retired to her own sleeping-room, and the defendant to an apartment prepared for him on the same floor. The servant girl having stationed herself on the stairs leading to the young ladies' bed-chambers, soon found that her suspicions were correct. In less than an hour she heard the defendant's door opened, and he proceeded to that of her mistress, at which he tapped gently, when Mrs. Walker came out, as it afterwards appeared, with only her night dress on, and went into the defendant's room, the door of which was immediately closed. The servant girl, who had been several years in the family, proceeded directly to the young ladies, and informed them of the discovery she had made. The three descended at once, and having first ascertained that there was good ground for the gill's conjecture, the elder Miss Walker knocked at the defendant's room door for some time. No answer was returned. At Jepgth, upon threatening to have the door forced open, the misguided woman came out, and throwing herself on her knees, besought them to conceal what she could not deny—the impropriety of conversing with the defendant at such a time and at such a place, at the same time solemnly protesting her innocence. Miss Walker declined to give any promise, conceiving it to be her duty to inform her father of all that had passed. The defendant quitted the house at an early hour the following morning. The plaintiff, in consequence of a communication from his daughter, returned home without a moment's delay. He did no more, however, than any husband should do under such circumstances; he expelled from his bouse the woman who had so dishonoured him. lest her example should contaminate his virtuous daughters. Evidence having been given in support of the preceding statements, it was found that the defendant realized from E150 to 1;200 per annum, by the exercise of his profession. The Under-Sheriff summed up the evidence, and the jury found for the:plaintiff-Damages, £100. THE AERIAL STEAM CARRIAGE.—The Spectator, in a bantering article says The Prometheus who has created this monster promises that it is well broken in, and will be found docile as swift. The pace, we hear, is to be 100 miles an hour, be the same a little more or less; and the universal mover, steam, is to be the agent. The town is now all agog to witness the flight. Paris is spoken of as the first point; but as that city will be reached in two hours, the voyageurs will scarcely show their faces again at night without having visited Mount Helicon and tasted the waters of Hippocrene: The projectors are praiseworthily endeavouring to allay the fears and to soothe tbe bitterness of vested interests, which this novel mode of transit is calculated to excite. It is awful, however, to contemplate the changes that must inevita- bly attend the success of their enterprise. when. the com- pany are fully fledged, and their Pegasi are on the wing, there will be no escaping from their intrusions. We must curtain and shutter our attics, door-up our chimnies, and cover over our gardens. The roads are now nearly deserted for railways the rail and the ocean are doomed to have their day. Be it in blast, bubble, or puff, there is nothing like air." FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE.—Last week an inquisition, which has ended in the return of a verdict against the de- fendants for the full amount of duties claimed by the Crown, was held before two commissioners at the Sheriffs' Court, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of money owing from Edward Yidil and Charles Htirel to Her Majesty for easterns* duties on gloves imported by them from abroad. It appears, that in this instance, which is but one out of many, a conspi- racy has for some time existed between the defendants and a Custom-house officer named Tye to defraud the revenue. How successful this has been will be best gathered from the evidence of Mr. Bollock, a gentleman in the office of the Solicitor of the Customs, who deposed, that of three cases of goods brought by the Herlequin, in 1840, one which held 704 dozen pair of gloves, and should have paid £176 duty, only paid £ 41 7s. 6d., the amount of duty on 185 dozen pairs, thus causing a loss to the crown of £ 134 12s. Gd.; and another which held 924 dozen pairs, and which ought to have paid E231 duty, in reality only paid £ 70 12s 5d., by which the Crown lost upwards of £160. Again, that upon several cases of goods, which were received by the Belfast and William Jolliffe vessels, the duty payable was tl)e duty paid £ 130 7s. 2d., thus cheating the Crown out of £ 364 13s. lOd. On the 11th of January, 1841, the defendants cleared from the Belfast goods on which the duty payable was £ l £ i'r>t but on which they did not pay more than tL-3 is, 4d,
To the Justices of the Peace…
To the Justices of the Peace of the County of Glamorgan, Assembled at the General Quarter Sessions, held at Cowbridge, on Tuesday, the 4th day of April, 1843. The Audit Committee appointed at the last Epiphany Quarter Sessions, at Cardiff, held their first meeting at Cowbridge, on Monday, the 3rd of April instant, and the followincr members attended ° Lord Viscount ADARE, M.P., in the chair.—The Right Honorable JOHN NICHOLL, M.P. Sir J. J. Guest, Bart., M.P. I Hugh Entwisle; John Dillwyn Llewelyn, Sir George Tyler, Richard Franklen, John Bruce" Pryee, Thomas William Booker, Rowland Fothergill, Henry Thomas, and Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn, Robert Oliver Jones, William Evan Williams, Esquires. And they report as follows, that the county expenditure in the years to which their attention had been directed, was as follows, viz.— In the year 1830 r f7881 1835 4922 1840 7185 1841 7498 1842. 8287 That the difference between the expenditure in 1835, viz., E4922, and that of 1842, viz., £8287, occurs under the following heads:— County Bridges in which the increase is £826 Clerk of Peace's bills I ditto 280 Coroner's inquests. ditto 393 Conveyance of prisoners committed for trial, or on summary convictions.. ditto 195 Prosecutions at assizes ditto 325 Ditto at quarter sessions ditto 920 Conveyance of Irish poor ditto 56 Maintenance of prisoners at gaol ditto 277 Ditto at House of Correction ditto 155 Sundries. ditto' 138 3565 Exchequer Loan Repayments. in which the decrease is 200 f33G5 Your committee proceed to explain the causes of the increase under each of their several heads. The committee found that the costs of county bridges was, in 1830. 1835. 1840. 1841. 1842. JE501 £ 265 jE221 fl31 £ 1091 That the large amount for the first year arose from the widening and other improvement of Ely bridge and of the last year from the new bridge built at Aberavon, at a cost of £ 940. That the Clerk of the Peace's bills (exclusive of his fixed salary,) amounted, in 1830. 1835. 1840. 1841. 1842. — f30 JE62 £135 £171 E.342 That it appeared that the great increase in the three last years was occasioned by his attendance on Revising Barristers, at Insolvent Debtors' Courts, making out registers of voters, and copies under the prescribed rules, contracts for bridges, prisons, &(! &c. in attending Mr. Bicheno and the committee who succeeded him, through the county, on the business of the new county valuation and assessment, and in payment of money out of pocket for the purposes of the county. Your committee were of opinion, that as a measure of economy, 250 copies of the register of county voters should be annually printed, and sold at 5s. each and that the Clerk of the Peace should have the power of printing a greater number should the demand require it. That the coroner's bills were u_- 1830. 1830. 1840. 1841. 1842. £ 71 £ 100 £ 655 £ 575 £ 493 That the large increase between 1835 and 1840, was occasioned by the increased allowances under the recent Act, 1 Yict. cap. 68, to coroners, juries, surgeons, witnesses, and other contingent expenses, as well as by the large additional population. That in order to show the average expense of an inquest before and since the passing of the new Act, your committee deem it expedient that a return of the number of inquests held in each of the years above mentioned should be laid before you. That the increased expense in the conveyance of prisoners committed for trial, or on summary conviction, and in the maintenance of prisoners in gaol, is also attributable to the increased population of the county, and the increased number of prisoners brought to trial; and for the satisfaction of the county, your committee recommend that returns should be called for, showing the number of prisoners committed for trial, or on summary convictions in each of the same years. That the expenses of prosecutions at quarter sessions and assizes were, in 1830, £ 1611. That the expenses of prosecutions at the assizes and quarter sessions since 1830, were as follows:— Assizes. Quarter Sessions. 1835. 1531 E500. 1840. 1031 1403 184 1 1120 1634 184 2 856 1420 That the prosecutions at quarter sessions, in which the county paid the costs, during the said years were as follows Years. Prosecutions. Prisoners. Convicted. Pleas of Guilty. Acquitted. No true bill. Average cost. 1830. 63 71 32 11 18 10 E12. 1835 51 56 17 18 11 5 13 184 0 107 .131 65 36 19 11 11 1841.120 .145 74 39 20 12 12 184 2 113 138 55. 38 32 13 13 That the prosecutions at assizes for the years 1840, 1841, and 1842, were as follows :— 184 0 Spring Assizes 23 Prosecutions. Average Costs. £ 19. Autumn ditto 17 ditto ..ditto 21 1841.SpringAssizes. 34 ditto ditto 20 -Autnirn Assizes 7 ditto ditto 24 184 2 Spring Assizes 48 ditto ditto. 21 —— Autumn Assizes 7 ditto. ditto. 29 Your committee, for more general information, have thought it expedient to add a statement of the rapid increase of the population of the county, from the year 1801 to the present time :-1801, 71,525 1811,85,067; 1821, 101,737; 1831, 126,612; 1841, 173,462. Your committee are of opinion, that the difference in the average amount of costs in assize and quarter sessions' prosecu- tions, proceeds in a great degree from the different classes of cases tried, and from the different scale of allowance to witnesses on these occasions respectively; but they regret to notice, that from bills of costs laid before them, it appears that the table of fees at assizes, as allowed by Mr. Bosanquet, has not, in all instances, been strictly adhered to by the officer of the court, under the allegation more especially, that the fees set forth in the table for this county. as the fees of the clerk of assize, marshal, and crier, are not those on the Oxford circuit; and, consequently, not those sanctioned by Mr. Justice Bosanquet for this county. Under these circumstances they recommend, that the mileage allowance to witnesses at assizes be reduced from sixpence to fourpence; that the eourt of quarter sessions order their treasurer, in case any order for pay- ment of costs contains any charge not authorised by the table of fees allowed by Mr. Justice Bosanquet, to call the attention of the judge to such charge, and ask his special directions in the matter that the treasurer and Clerk of the Peace do send to Mr. Vaughan, the clerk of assize, copies of three or four bills of felonies and misdemeanour, taxed in the first ten years since 1831; that they also draw his attention to the table of fees allowed by Mr. Justice Bosanquet to the table of fees of the Oxford circuit, as furnished by Mr. Bellamy, and forward him copies of bills where the taxed costs have exceeded the said tables, and ask him whether he has authorised the allowances therein made; that application be made to the clerk of assize for the Oxford circuit, to ascertain whether the list of fees contained in the Glamorganshire table does or does not correspond with the table of fees for the said circuit, as far as regards the officers of court, and that a new table of fees be prepared for this county. That the building and repairs of the county prisons cost in the years 1830, at CardtfTf 1,530, Swansea X422 1841, at Cardiff 11 Nil," Swansea 1:60. and that in the years of 1835 and 1840, no expense for building or repairs in either prison was incurred. That the repayment of Exchequer Loans was made as follows, in the years 1830 £ 1178, 1835 £ 979, 1840 £ 852, 1841 iSO3, 1842 E774. That though there has been no increase und4g the head of militia," your committee are of opinion, that the county has no further occasion for the armoury at Cardiff, and accordingly recommend that the possession of it should be given up at the end of the ensuing year; a saving of the annual rent of JE31 10s. will thus be made to the county. Your committee are unable to give any satisfactory explanation of the increased expenditure in the removal of Irish poor, but recommend that the rules should be so altered as clearly to show that the present allowances are intended to be not the general, but the maximum charges. Your committee have also examined the county accounts for the present quarter amounting to £1,845 3s. 6Jd. (including an item of E900 for the repairs of the county gaol), and recommended the payment thereof. They have also examined the quarterly expenditure for the police, amounting to je206 8s. lOd. (including the clothing for the present year), which they also recommend to be paid. Your committee recommend, that an audit and finance committee should meet annually at Cowbridge, on the Monday preceding the Easter quarter sessions, with power to meet more frequently should occasion require it. That it should consist of five members (three of whom to be a quorum) and that Sir George Tyler, Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn, Esq., Rowland Fothergill, Esq., Robert Oliver Jones, Esq., and Henry Thomas, Esq., be appointed of the said committee; that their duties should be to audit accounts, to superintend the county expenditure and, from time to time, make observations and suggestions connected with such expenditure, and the best means of checking and reducing the same. Your committee express their approbation of the manner in which the county accounts have been kept, and from the data above given they have arrived at the conclusion, that the increase in the expenditure is satisfactorily and fully accounted for The tables laid before the committee are annexed.
