HADDINO AND ANOTHER.—EITILAORDINART CASE. Mr. Crowder, with whom was Mr. Saunders, stated that this was an action to recover the sum of 1631. 6s. under the following singular circumstances : Neat, the plaintiff, was a man in very humble life, living in great penury with his mother, Jane Neat, in a small cottage at Foxholes, near Brcmhill, down to her death in December, 1850. Jane Neat had been in the constant receipt of parish relief for about forty years up to that time. Shortly before her death it came to the knowledge of the overseers that a large sum of money was in the house. The money was plated in a cupboard near the bed on which the son always slept. The defendant Harding was a relieving-officer of the parish, and, with the other defendant (a police-officer), took forcible possession of the money on the 26th of August, considering that they were entitled to do so under a recent act relative to property found on vagrants, &e. ; but which act he (Mr. Crowder) contended would nut have justified them in seising upon this money, even Lf it had not be longed to the present plaintiff. Witnessev were then called to prove that the plaintiff, like his mother, was of a very miserly disposition ; that he had commenced saving up this money as far back as 30 years, when he was only 16; that • sister (Mrs. Coles) had assisted him in effecting these savings ; and that she had deposited at least 40!. of the money in question with the plaintiff at various times; that in 1826, an uncle had left plaintiff and his sister legacies of 2001. each in the Three per Cent. Consols, and that in 1836, the plaintiff sunk his portion in Long Annuities, the interest of which he had continued to receive half-yearly up to the present time; that he maintained himself by the produce of the garden at tached to his mother's cottage; that when the money was left by the uncle, the mother had only 6/. bequeathed to her for mourning; and the cupboard in which the money was kept was broken open by the defendants. Mr. Scrjt. Kinglake addressed the jury for the defend.. ants, and detailed some circumstances which be afterwards adduced evidence to sustain, and from which it appeared that when the existence of this money was discovered, the plaintiff only claimed 41., and subsequently his portion of it ; that the woman acknowledged that the money belonged to her; and executed a deed, about three months before her death (after the money had been forcibly carried away), by which she consented, upon having the interest I secured to her during life, to transfer the principal to the parish officers after her death for the purpose of its being applied to the relief of the poor. [Jane Neat was an infirm old woman, aged 84, when this deed was executed.) The surgeon of the Calne 'Union and one of the board of guardians deposed that they had heard the ol d woman say I she should not leave her money to her children, as they had not used her well ; and that she readily signed the deed produced in evidence, upon its being read over and ex plained to her. Most of the witnesses for the defence agreed in describing the plaintiff us weak both in mind and body, and therefore' likely to have misunderstood the questions lint to him when it was said that he claimed the sums of 4/. and 71. only. The learned judge went carefully through the evidence, and more than once expressed his opinion that no import ance was to be attached to the deed of gift produced on the part of the defendants. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 1631. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, MARCH 10. Mr. Justice Creswell and Mr. Baron I'latt arrived in this city on Saturday, and opened the assize' at York Cur, tle. Ott Monday the city anises commenced, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Creswell, but the business before the court was unimportant. The county assizes commenced, at York Castle, on the same day, before Mr. Baron Platt. In his address to the grand jury, his lordship directed their attention to the numerous cases of stabbing and of manslaughter on the calendar, and strongly recommended them to exert them selves to promote the education of the poor, which, in his opinion, formed the most efficient barrier to the spread of crime. The cases tried possessed no public interest. SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT.—HkvimwonnwrAT, MARCH B. The wires for the ceiunti;iPembroke commenced at this town to-day, the commission having been opened yes terday evening by Mr. Serjeant Jones, who bad been de spatched for that purpose by Mr. Justice Williams, that learned judge having been detained at Swansea, in conse quence of the extreme pressure of business at the Glamor ganshire As siaes. The calendar contains nineteen prisoners for trial, but with the exception of a charge of murder, none are im portant. The civil business will be comprised in three ur (our eases. On Saturday, the grand juries were sworn in, and some criminal eases were tried afterwards, but they were devoid of interest. THE POLICE COURTS MANSION-HOUSE. John Henry Whiaaker, a young man in the service of a surgeon in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-square, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of Jarvis, the officer, upon the charge of having stolen a chronometer, the property of Mr. Webster, cluck manufacturer, of Cornhill. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner. William Jarvis said—Yesterday, at a quarter before two o'clock, in consequence of information which I received, I weed to the house of the employer of the prisoner, accom panied by my brother officer, Filmes. In the surgery I saw the prisoner and another young man. I asked whether the principal was at home, and the other young man replied in the uegutive. I then asked whether there was any young man of the name of Webster there, and the prisoner said "'that's me." 1 then said I wanted to speak with him privately, and I observed to him, " You have left a ho: of stones with a men in the employment of Mr. Webster, of Cornhill, to ascertain the value of them. How came you in possession of them ?" Ile said he found them in Old-street in the month of August or September, just after leaving the country. 1 said, " Where in the paper you found them in?" lie said he had lost it. He then said he had found them together with some watchmaker's instru wenn, which were in his box up stairs. I went, accompa nied by Finals, up stairs with him to his bed-room. lie then tudocked a box, and took out these things which I produce (portions of a chronometer). They consist of 17 pieces of a chronometer, and were wrapped in paper. I said to him, " I must take you into custody on sus picion of stealing a chrouometer from Mr. Webster's house." Finals proceeded to search the boxes. Before leasing the house for the station-house, he took off a frock coat which he had on, in consequence as he said of its being out at the elbows, and he put on another coat. I searched the pockets of the frock coat, sod in one of them I found five pieces of a chro uometer box or case. I conveyed him to the Biehopsgate-street station-house, and he produced there another piece of a chronometer with the words " Change alley," on it. I also found 'en his possession, besides some silver, a silver watch and a gold key and seal. I afterwards went, accompanied by linnis, to the house of Mr. Simi', of Barbican, and there saw a silver chronometer new, which was afterwards identified by a workman of Mr. Web ster's as having belonged to the chronometer which had been stolen. Vinnio—l corroborate all that has been stated by Jarvis, and add that I found in the prisoner's box a portion of the chronometer box which correspondo with the portion which he has proluced ; that I then starched the drawers and found an the pocket of a waistcoat which the prisoner said was his, three small pieces of a chronometer, as I be hese, and iu the same drawer I found a key, which fits the lock of the chronometer box. Mr. John Shaw said, I am housekeeper to Mr. Richard Webster, of 74, Comhill, clock manufacturer. Last Satur day evening, at a late hour, the prisoner brought to me what appeared to be a pill-box containing some jewellery, to ascertain the value of the contents, or whether they were worth anything. I asked him to whom they belonged, and he replied to a young man who was in the same shop with him, and that he only wanted to know the value. I told him to bring the box on Monday morning, and I would let him know. He accordingly came yesterday morning with ' the box and its contents, and I showed them to Mr. Sh'eb stair's foreman. The Lord Mayor—Had you known the prisoner before? Witness—l have known him these 3 years, and •Iwar considered him to be a most excellent moral young Rea ia I I manners and disposition. ' The Lord Mayor—When had you seen him before Satter. ' dor night? Wituess—He had been in the shop on Friday night, with my wife and daughter and myself. We reside in the upper part of the house, and Mr. ht ehster having a new clock ei remarkable mnstruction for the grand Exhibition, my wih and daughter went down to the shop to look at it. Oa a shelf in the rear of the counter in the shop were kept three small chronometer cases, with chronometers in them, and several large chronometers were also on the shelf. I was la the habit of winding the chronometers in these cases every morning. The chronometers were all there when I went to wind them before Friday morning. I cannot swear that they wets all there on Friday, but on Saturday mo= when I vent to wind them. I missed one of the chronometers and its box. The box produced in pieces by Finis, the officer, was the description of box in which the missing chronometer was kept. I think it is the box. The Lord Mayor—Dial you keep the key of the chrono meter box yourself ? and her brother and sister at his son Edward's house. The defendant also was present. The plaintiff talked a great deal, and he heard her say to the defendant that if he had broken off the marriage of his own accord she had no wish for it, and that she would release him from his promise and give him up all his letters. His son, when she said this, re plied that what he was doing with regard to the breaking off the marriage was done entirely of his own free will. After this the plaintiff and her relations had some refreshment, and they all parted on very friendly terms. His sort w as at present • landing waiter in the port of London, and his salary was 1401. a year. By Serjeant Sher—Had known the plaintiff since she was 18 yearn old. His son was also on a visit at Petworth Park, and it was by this means he became acquainted with the plaintiff. Their intimacy had continued ever since that pe riod, but he was not ware that list son first made an offer of marriage to the a plaintiff in 85. The defendant was not very communicative upon the matter. If he had been he would not have got into his present di lemma. He was now about 2G or 27. lie could not tell exactly what year he was born in. IA laugh . ) Ile could not my that all this time the plaintiff had been looked upon as the intended wife of his son, but it certainly was some thing very like it. lie was aware that they were engaged to each other. lie knew that the plaintiff was engaged as • governess in several respectable families, and he had reason to believe that his son was very much attached to her. Ile did not sanction what was going on, but certainly be did not stoutly oppose it. He understood that the mar riage was fixed to take place on the Z4th of November , and the meeting to ss hieli lie referred took p lace on the 27th. He understood that the marriage license had been obtained, and that apartments hail also been taken f r them to reside in after the marriage. Ho did not think that his eon obtained the appointment he held in the Custom lloo.e through the intervention of Miss ('race's friends. His son said very little at the meet ing on the 27th. All he did was to state that he acted of his own accord in refusing to marry the plaintiff'. The plain tiff did not appear very touch distressed. She did nut cry ; at least he did not see any tears. The defendant said that what had been done was done with his own free will, and the plaintiff then said that she disengaged him from his promise, or words to that effect. The plain tiff did not lay hold of his son's hand and touch him at any ---• • of t he interview. ite-examined—Witness was very indignant at the pro posed marriage. His eon told him that he had been invited to dinner by the brother of the plaintiff, and that after dinner the subject of the marriage was brought forward, and he agreed to marry the plaintiff on the following Tuesday. They , wanted to kuow why he did not marry the plaintiff, and upon his stating that he was under s ome difficulty, the brother of the plaintiff offered to M un kt r a l oot, and he was to pay 20 per cent. for a the luan. llis sou also told him that the marriage dinner ws to take place at the home of Mr. Henry ('race, but none of his re lations were to be invited, and if he wished to have any of j them, he was to order a dinner at Hampton and pay for it Mr. Edward Wilson, brother to the defendant, deposed that he was a surgeon, and resided in Great Coramstreet, Brunswick-square. In November of last year he received • communication upon the subject of the intended mar riage, and he in emisequi nee called upon Mr. Henry Crate, the brother of the plaintiff, and that gentleman, and his wife, and the plaintiff, cum to hia house on the 28th Nov. Witneas's father, Mrs. Salter, a married sister, and the de fendant, were present at the interview. He heard the plaintiff say distinctly that if the defendant left her of his own free will, she would give him up immediately. His brother replied that it was of his own free will, and the plaintiff made no reply. The plaintiff's brother asked the fendant why he refused to marry her, and he replied that he had not sufficient confidence in her to make her his wife. After this touk place they had refreshment and shook hands, and parted apparently upon friendly terms. At the interview he had in the first Mamie with Mr. and Mrs. Crate, he understood that it was the wish of all parties that the match should be broken off, and that they should mutually release each other. By Serjeant Shrt—lle was aware that the plaintiff and his brother had been intimate since 184.1, and that the plaintiff had been received in the family as his intended wife. Ile did not observe that the plaintiff was very much • distressed upon the occasion. Ile spoke of her condition prufcaiionully." On the day following the meeting he told Mr. H. Crate that his brother was so infatuated with his sister tnat he very much doubted his stability, and he thought it probable that the match might still take place. Mrs. Salter, the sister of the last witnem, gave eimilar evidence as to what took place at the interview in question. Serjuant Shear then addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and he said that when they were put in possession of the real facts of the case, he felt satisfied they would be of opinion that it was one which involved the greatest cruelty and injustice that had ever been brought before a jury. The real facts of the cam were these. The plaintiff, who was a highly respectable young woman, hod unfor tunately, through family diseercements, been cum pelted to use the talents she possessed as a means of obtaining a livelihood as a governess, and she bad been employed in that capacity in families of station and respectability. In Plif she was on a visit to an uncle! ! named Dehbe, who hail for many years been in the service of the Duke of NurfOlk, but who at that time had retired and was living at l'etworth-park, near Arundel. The de fendant was also on a visit there, and he became fascinated with the plaintiff', and an intimacy of the tenderest nature sprung up betweeu them, with the entire knowledge of the family of the defendant, who, it had been admitted, had received the plaintiff as the intended wife of the defendant . The parties at this time were very young, and the mar riage was nut considered prudent at that time, but they continued on the most affectionate tenns with each other. The learned eerjeant read a portion of some of the letters written by the defendant, they were all couched in terms of the greatest affection, and the defen dant instantly spoke to looking forward to the happiness, of making her his wife when his circumstances would per mit him to do so, and when he should have obtained an appointment in the customs, which he expected. The learned counsel proceeded to state that Mrs. Debbe inte rested herself in the matter, and applied to the Earl of ! Arundel and Surrey, the member for Arundel, to whom she and her husband were well known by reason of their having been confidentially employed (as he had stated) before by the Duke of Norfolk ; and eventually. by means of the interest of that noble lord, the defendant obtained a situation in the customs, which he now held. He then expressed his desire to perform kis promise to the plaintiff ; bnt upon his representation that he was in some pecuniary di ffi culty, Mr. Henry Crace, the brother of the plaintiff, consented to advance him a sum of 501. Every arrangement was then made for the marriage, the wedding dresses were provided, the day was appointed, and everythieg was in readiness, when in conse quence of some extraordinary interference on the part of the defendant's fernily, the match was put a stop to, and an attempt was now made to show that the plaintiff bad exonerated the defendant from his promise. The learned mojeant then referred to the circumstances under which the plaintiff was alleged to have absolved the defendant from his promise, and he concluded a very eloquent speech by calling upon the jury to scout such a proceeding. and to give the plaintiff such damages as would have the effect of showing the world that there was nut the slightest imputa tion upon her character. Mrs. Debbie was then examined to prove the circum stance, of the intimacy which tuck place between the plain tiff and the defendant after their meeting at her house. She saw the defendant in 18-50, and he told her that he was going to he married to the plaiutilf. and that he had taken apartments is the Kent-road, and witness wished them happiness. Mr. H. W. Crace deposed that he was brother to the plaintiff. He was iuttoduced to the defendant on the 214 of November, last year. The defendant dined with bin on that day, and after dinner lie introduced the subject of the intended marriage with his The defendant said that the only thing that prevented the marriage from taking place im mediately nee that he wanted Sol, to relieve himself Iran men liability. Witness told him if that was all he would advance him the amount, and after some conversation it was arranged that this sum was to be advanced, and the defend. sat was to return hill. in a twelvemonth. Witness did not stead to take the money, but to make a present of is te his 'deter. It was afterwards settled that the seanisse was to take place on the 28th. His sister was staying with him at the time. The defendant parted situ deem on Saturday, the 23rd of November, and they heard no inure upon the subject of the marriage until Mr. Edward Wilson called upon him, and in conse quence of what he said, he and his wife and the plaintiff went to the house of that gentleman on the 27th.

Ile made her no termer. Witness also asked him what reason he had fur his conduct, and he did not reply. His brother then said to him—. Bill. why don't you speak out, and say you have not suftleient confidence in her to make her your wife!" and the defendant mumbled out the words after him. Iles sister then asked the defendant Why he did not tell her so when he left her on theeeaturday ni ht," and he shook his head. The plaintiff was in a moot distreisad state at this interview, and she clung to him, and he told the defendant that he was a scoundrel and a villain fur acting in such a manner to a girl. He heard the defendant's father say, in the course of whet took place. that if his sun married ROW`, he would blow his brains out. Hy the Court—He did not hear anything said by his sister about exonerating the defendant from his promise, or anything of the. kind. flue or two other witnesses were then called to prove the preparation , that were made for the marriage, and this closed the plaintiff's ease.

The Lord Mayor—At what time did the prisoner leave your house on the Friday night he visited you ? Witness—At about eight o'clock. Mr. Frederick Sundburg-1 have been since 1842 in Mr. Webster's employment. Yesterday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, Mr. Shaw the housekeeper, brought to me a small box containing 4 ruby holes, 2 ruby end pieces, be longing to holes, and 7 diamond piece 4 for me to tell the value of them. lie told me they had be en: left with him to be valued, and I inquired of him to whom they belonged. lie took them away and I sent for them again, and be sent them to me by the errand boy. The Lord Mayor—Had you any knowledge of the ar ticles ? Witness—l knew them well and identified them as be longing to the lost chronometer.

There is one particular part which is new, and which I worked up myself, and I have bad it several times in my hand since. My belief is that these are portions of the chronometer that was lost, and which I saw on Friday, the 28th of February, and Sa -1 turday, the lit of March. The Lord Mayor—What do you say to the broken box, the pieces of which have been produced ? Nts itness—This is the box in which the chronometer that was lost was placed.

The body presented a very ema ciated appearance. Deceased was admitted into the prison on the 2ith December last, whither he was sent from Edin, burgh under a sentence of seven years' transportation fur theft. He was received in the infirmary on the 6th January in a very delicate state. Ile died on the 10th inst. Mr. Wm. Helps, resident surgeon, stated that he saw deceased on his arrival at the prison from Edinburgh. Ile was very emaciated and pale, but it is not unusual to see prisoners in that state from Scotland. In two days after his admission he bad an attack of pleurisy, but recovered. When admitted on the Gth of January in the infirmary he was suffering from inflammation of the bowels lie died from the effects of the attack. He had any nourishment he required, cow-heel jelly, wine, milk, and other nutritious diet. In answer to the coroner, the witness stated that there were several other prisoners sent w ith the deceased from Ediu burgh, who were more or less in a debilitated state. Pri soners from Scotland arrive in a worse state than they do from any other part. The coroner observed that it was not the first time his attention had been called to the appear (wee of prisoners from Scotland. On a former occasion he had a verdict of manslaughter returned against a medical officer in that country. Mr. Helps stated that the prisoners in Scotch gaols were allowed oatmeal gruel and porridge. They had no meat. The prison discipline was different to what it was in English gaols. The coroner observed that if he were the authority of that prison, he should make a representation to the governors of the gaols in Scotland from which prisoners were sent, upon the state in which they were en their arrival. Verdict—" Natural death." DEATH FROM DRINKING.—On Monday nigh t inquest was held on John Wicks, an ostler at the Star Hotel, Lewes, who died under the following shocking cir cumstances on the previous Sunday morning.—On Satur day night Mr. Edward Royd, surgeon, who had come over to Lewes from Brighton, went into the Star tap, and found there the deceased and two or three others. One of these told Mr. Royd that deceased had drunk eight or nine I glasses of gin that afternoon, and offered the man a glass of I rum, which he drank off. Mr. Royd said he did it very well, and asked him what he would like to drink. Deceased replied, " A pint of gin," and Mr. Royd called for it. On' its coming in deceased took the pint measure off the table, and drank it off at a draught. Mr. Royd said he would gins him another, which was brought accordingly, and before Mr. Royd could almost see him he had drunk that off also. In about two or three minutes he was unable to stand, and was led off to a stall in the stable, where he lay , till six ou Sunday morning, and before noon the man died. At the inquest -Ir. Rigden, surgeon, attributed the .de cemed's death entirely to asphyxia, arising from his taking so large a quantity of alcohol into his stomach ; and the jury who agreed to a verdict in accordance with that view, added, that they could not separate without expressing their opinion that the conduct of Mr. Edward Royd, a medical man, in treating the deceased with so large a quantity of spirits, was extremely reprehensible. isement4—A DANGEROUS CASE OF ERE anin.on WITIOMIn Vl= Swum.. •NLI INTLUIMATION. mien ST Pius urn 01317113XT.—EITISK sat a letter, doted Fast ' Kiel, Spitsby.

The facts were simply these : Mr. Tyas, of Norton Priory, near Askern, sued the Lan cashire and South Yorkshire Railway company for the inefficient state of the fences along the Askern branch of the Goole Railway, near Stubbs Walden, and the loss of a cow which bad in consequence got on the rails and was killed, although she had been placed, on the pre vious evening, in the field in his occupation with eleven others. According to the Land? Clauses Consolidation Act, the company were compelled to provide such fences, &e., as would prevent the cattle of owners or occupiers of land from straying on such railway. Evidence was produced to substantiate the case on the part of the plaintiff. It was contended on the other side, that no blame was chargeable to the defendants, but the accident arose from the defect of the fences belonging to the plain tiff's neighbours ; and no complaint had been previously made of the particular fence in question, although the line had been formed for the space of four years, and the acci dent was attributed to the carelessness of other parties. His Honour put three questions for the jury to decide—Did the cow get on the railway through the detect of the fences which Mr. Tyas was liable to maintain ; did they think the height got upon f o tte fencetherailway was andsuffincanienyto;ther manner. m did they er think iu the cow . replied in the negative; and a verdict was given for the plaintiff—damages RI. Mr. Beckitt, solicitor, of Thorne, was for the plaintiff; and Mr. Blanchard, barrister, of Leeds, for the defendants. MARKETS. DAILY WEATHER TABLE.
