rr Two of yestenLav erening• Pares journals pub lished a statement of an affair in Algeria, in which the French army of expedition against the Kabyles was represented to have met with serious disasters. We rind, however, by the following article of the Munitcur, that the statement was unfounded, and that it wee another instance of the readiness with which certain journals adopt and propagate rumours of a nature to excite opposition to the government. The .Vositeur says : The last news from Algeria informs us that the expedi tion against Little Kabylta has berm accomplished just as we had a right to expect from the energy of our army and the skill of the of in command of it. From the 11th to the 21st, the day to which our dates come down, them bad been several engagements. On the 11th, General Saint Arnaud, in hie advance, found three heights by which he had to pass, strongly' fortified by the Kabyles, who bad thrown up entrenchments of stone, and which wan defended by 4,1100 men. It was necessary, in order to dis lodge the enemy irons their position, to make a considerable circuit over very bad ground, and under a heavy Sr.. General Saint Arnaud formed his force into three columns, each consisting of three battalions, with two mortars. The column on the left, commanded by General Lazy, was ems peas' of two battalions of the 20th, one native ritlemen, and M cavalry, under the orders of Commandant Fournier. The right column, under the command of General Basque% was composed of as battalion of Zouaves, another of the fith of the line, and a third of light infantry of Africa, supported by 70 cavalry under Colonel Bonscarin. The centre column was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Edpiname, and funned of three battalions. The division started at day break. At 7 o'clock the village of Kasen Was carried at the point of the bayonet by the native infantry. At 9 o'clock the three columns had driven the enemy from all his positions. While General Lazy, seconded by Colonel Mauls:, at t•eked the position in front with the bayonet, Comman dant hamihe and the native riflemen attacked the left, and threw the enemy into disorder. Commandant Fournier wised with his cavalry on the summit of the hill at the same time as the infantry, and the combat became very severe. Commandant Valieuu was killed, and Captain Fatinon, of the 20th of the line, and Captain Jollivet, of the Rifles, were both wounded. eneral Itoaquet, on the rigbt, bail his shoulder grazed by a ball, but he did nut .top, and coached the heights with his Zouaves. The column under the command of Colonel Espinatne reached the top of the heights at the same time as the other o olumns. In thee action of the I Ith, the expeditionary column had 11 killed and al wounded. The whole of the 12th was a series of coinbate, in whet* the enemy alone met any serious loss. On the 13th and 14th, our troops had to perform a dif ficult and perilous march. The road was through a wooded country on the sides of mountains where the enemy bad poeitious which bad to be successively carried. Two com panies of the 10th of the line suffered heavy losses on the Ugh. Full of ardour, but inexperienced in a kind of war. fare which they now were engaged in for the first time, they allowed themselves to be surrounded by enemies who ad van, d mad r cover of the wood, end lost a number of their mess. They were at length relieved by a battalien of the 9th. On the 14th, the ent toy' made an attack, but were defeat. d with great loss by the Zouaves under Commandant Laura and the tirailleurs under Commandant Bataille, and eumi.tied to retire, leaving a number of dead in the memo.. On the I:ith, Colonel Mande: penetrated aft the mountain, and sew rely punished the habyles opposed to it.. On the lath, we bivouacked before Djijelli, without Arising any further engagements. The rear guard, which was formed of two companies of the foreign legion, undo r the orders of Commandant Maye r, . acted with great energy and skill. In a word, it may be said, that from Fedi hem m to Djijelli, the march of our army was a series of vigorous and succi.ssful action,. The troop at , rind full of confidence at the plan where they expelled • few days' repine. Oa the 19th General Saint Arnaud Mk Djijelli, and on the very day had au engagement, M which oar troops gained a signal advantage, with bat • trilling boa. At noon, General Saint Arnaud eatalliithel in the centre of the Beni-Amran, having the lienkAhnst nu hi. right, and the Beni-Khtel on his left, Omni his divisions into three columns, each composed WI two leittalione, in light marching order, and ever' mandril one by himself, and the two others by Generais I.uzy and limmuct. Ills object was to drive the enemy, who were posted in considerable force on the height. which commanded the camp. Our infantry , were irnsistdile, and when they had driven the Kabyles itt the pond of the bayonet from their pirsitinn, they were ne. tat Leal by the cavalry, who completed their rout. The en. any. she were in number about 2,1010, left 120 dead 011 the field; our leas was only two killed and 31 woandeL (h, the doh, a still 'sore important action was fought; th neva' Saint Arnaud left his camp at 10 o'clock, with battahous, four mortars, end all his cavalry. After ele on the previous day the heights which commanded Ranks, lie preceded to attack the positions which the It shyb s occupied iafront of him, at about a league dustenee. The enemy wire ranged along the crest of a wooded bill, having on their left a deep risme, and on their right a wide plain. General Saint Aruautl sent his cavalry into the plain, while the infantry ascended the hill, and attacked the lialoilta on all sides, and on their descending the hill, they were attacked by the cavalry, who thus cut off their retreat. More than 1,200 Kabyli , threw themselves into Ow ravine on their left, under the fire of three of our bat; diens, and left 380 of their men dead on the • field. Our victery was complete. In the evening of that day, the camp of General Saint-Arnaud was full of arm- and bulimia brought in as trophies by our soldiers. Three great fractions of the Beni-Amnia, the Aehaib, the Oulisl-Bouira, and the Ouled-Bou-Achair have made their sahinissinn. The Beni-Ahnu.t have demanded the Aman. It may therefore be said that at the date of 20th Ilay, mint important results have been already obtained by our cape-damn ; Djijelli has been realised from the kind of Motile:le which had been established round it by the Kaloyl, e, and will soon see its markets open to our com merce %Ve are assured that the great confederations of lattl.. h.& begin to be dissolved.

MAHT&N-IY•TI/L-PIRU/tl. air Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Puhley appeared to show cause against a rule which had been granted, calling upon the de (cadent' to show cause why • writ of mandamus should not be issued commanding them to proceed to the election of a clerk to the board of guardians. It appeared that the parish of St. Martins had been placed by the poor law COlllll2ll - under a board of guardians, who were by them directed to appoint a clerk and assistant clerk to the board. The office of clerk had been held by • solicitor, but upon the retirement of the late clerk (Mr. Le Breton) the board came to a resolution to amalgamate the two offices. The election of a new clerk took place in February last, at s meeting which was attended by the chairman and 21 other pardsano, and there were four candidates for the office. Each womb,' of the board wrote on a slip of paper the name of Idle Modidate fur whom he wished to vote, and these papers terra then put into • hat and given to the chair s.% who did not himself vote at all, but he entindeed the papers given in, and declared that there were eleven votes for Mr. Griffiths and ten for Mr. field : it was then proposed and seconded that Mr. Danger field: should be elected clerk. The chairman put this motion, and a majority of those present and voting held up their hands in favour of it. The contrary question was not put at all, but Mr. Griffiths was declared duly elected; and be had exercised the foe from that time to the present, with the sanction of the poor law commissioners. The present ap plication wasmade on behalf of Mr. Dangerfield, who sought to impugn the validity of that t lection on the ground that the votes were taken by ballot, which he contended was illegal, that the chairman had omitted to put the negative of the question to the meeting, which he contended was en irre gularity; and, lastly, that the guardians were bound to elect a solicitor, because the poor-law commissioner, hail imposed duties upon the person filling the office which could not be performed by any other than a solicitor. It was now con tended that mandamus was not the proper remedy but that an information in the nature of a quo warrant° should have been filed. Lord Campbell said that the CM of "Harley T. the Queen" (12 Clarke and Fiunclly), was very like the present, and it was there Betided by the House of Lord.., that an information in the nature of a quo warrant° would lie. Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Brtunwell, contra, contended that there was no invasion of the franchise of the crown in this case, sad that quo warrant° was therefore not the proper remedy. Mr. Justice Pattcson said that he had always acted upon that doctrine, in common with Mr. Justice Taunton and Lord Denman; but be considered that their opinion was over-ruled by . the ease of " Harley v. The Queen." Sir Frederick Thesiger then contended that this was not an office of a public nature, and therefore mandamus was the proper remedy. Lord Campbell said he was of opinion that the rule mud he discharged, upon the ground that the proper remedy bad not been adopted. The office of clerk was now full. And it must be taken as an established rule, that if the proceed. iug by quo warrant° would lie, that proceeding must be adopted, and not the remedy by mandamus. If this age had arisen before that of Harley v. the Queen," he should have been much perplexed by the conflicting decision • but this court wan bound to follow the rule there laid down, which was, that when an office was of a public nature and created by act of parliament, though there had ba rn no usurpation of the franchise of the crown, an information in the nature of a quo warranto would lie. Formerly a dif ferent rule had been followed. The present office, though not named in the act of parliament, WU in fact created by . it, for general powers were given to the poor law com missioners, and under those general powers they were en titled to create this office. The tenure of the office was also during good behaviour, for the commissioners had only power to remove for incapacity or misconduct. Then was the office one of a public nature ? It mighbbe difficult is all eases to determine what would constitute an office of a public nature, but this was quite as much so as that which the House of Lords held to be so in " Harley v. the Queen." The public were interested in the functions to be discharged by the clerk ; and he thought, therefore, that a quo war ranto was the proper remedy ; and he could not regret coming to that conclusion, as he thought the questions in volved in the case might be tried much more conveniently in that form of proceeding. The rest of the court concurred. Lord Campbell added that he wished it to be understood that he was not ism, ...nig an opinion that a quo warrant° would lie in respect of all the offices created by the poor law commies' .n. It would not lie in the case of a menial office such as nurse. _ _ _ Hale for mandamus discharged. TIP QUOIN (IN TOR RILATION or Haecocu) r. CROSS. Mr. Watson, Q.C., moved for a rule sidling upon the de fendant to show cause why an information in the nature of a quo warranto should not be filed against hini,calling upon him to show by what authority he claimed to act as a mem ber of the Board of Health of the City of Ely. It ap peared by the affidavits that the Board of Health at Ely was formed under an order of Council, dated January 30, IMO, and was directed to consist of fifteen persons, five of whom were to retire annually, the qualifications of per mits to be elected members of the board were regu lated by 11 & 12 Vic. e. 63, s. 12 to 19, and the qualifica tion of the voters was determined by section 20. The elec tion now in dispute took place in March last, when there appeared for Haycock 374 votes and for Cross 379, whereupon Cross was declared duly elected. The majority for Cross was, however, disputed by Haycock, upon the ground that a number of good votes were kmdered for him and rejected, and a number of bad votes received for Cross. The learned counsel stated that there could be no doubt that quo warrant* was the proper remedy asthe board of health possessed the power of raising rates and doing other acts which were clearly of a public nature. And the office was. therefore a public one, within the decision of this House of Lords in Harley a. the Queen." Rule granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. SUOMI Ka. Colotnaowas Inst. IN NE DitionT—ALLEOZU " STOLEN " DILLS. This was the last examination meeting in the case of H. Bright, corn merchant, of Malden. The amount of failure was not large, but it transpired that the bankrupt's liabili• ties arose upon a bill which had been obtained from him by the notorious Ilanee. The balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Thomas, of Gresham-street, extended over 1.1 years prior to the failure, ' and contained the following items .—To creditors, 6651. • liability, 2671.; profits, 1831. ; capital, 48/. Good debts, 21. 5s ; property, none ; trade expenses, 1611.; personal ditto, 1471.; interest, 68/.; losses, 44i1. In reference to the liability, the bankrupt stated in his ac counts that it arose upon an acceptance of his for 150/., which had been obtained from him by fraud by J. H. Hance, new under sentence of remand from the Insolvent Debtors' Court. On this hill he had been sued by Mr. Blackburn, merchant, of London, the holder; judgment had been given against hint, and the costs amounted to 1171., making the total liability 2671. Mr. Crick supported the bankrupt. Mr. DuMeld, for the assignees, offered no opposition, and he passed. Mr. Lawrence tendered a proof for Mr. Blackburn, on the judgment obtained against the bankrupt on the bill. He stated that the consideration for the bill, which was the delivery of good., had been fully proved at the trial ; and the bankrupt had produced no evidence to show the contra ry His is . Honour did not think that the bankrupt would be charged with making a vexatious defence, considering the way in which the hill had been obtained from him. lie saw no reason now for rejecting the proof.

The cue of this bankrupt, who was a publican and farmer, at Fen Drayton, in Cambridgeshire, came before the court about 15 months ago, when his examination was adjourned sine die, without protection. On the 22nd April following be was arrested and imprisoned in Cambridge Castle, where he has ever since remained. Mr. Naylor now applied to the court for an order for his discharge, under the 259th section of the late act, which provides "that if a bankrupt shall be taken in execution, upon the refusal of protection, or after the refusal or sus pension of his certificate, he shall not be discharged from such execution until he shall have been in prison for the full period of one year, except by order of the court." His Honour suggested whether the order ought not to be made by the court from which the espies had issued, the Exchequer. Mr. Naylor said that point had already been determined by Mr. Justice Patteson, in " Walker v. Edmondson," re ported in the last number of the Law Journal, which de cided that all matters relating to the discharge of bank rupts were transferred to the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Cole, for the assignees, contended that, although the bankrupt might be entitled to his discharge, there was still power in the court to detain him in custody fur not having complied with the order of the court as to filing the accounts. His Honour, after consulting with Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, decided this application under the 259th, and not under the 112th section, as to which power of discharge might admit of a different construction. His opinion, he wished it to be understood, was based upon the '2s9th section only. The question was, whether a debtor, having been in prison for the full period of one year, was entitled to discharge under the terms of the 259th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act. The opinion of Mr. Conraissioner Holroyd was, that in strictness the jailer required no order at all, for he was hound to take notice of the statute, which did not award more than a year's imprison ment. But the jailer might not so construe the Act, and the question was whether this court ought to make the order. lie was of opinion that the court had the power of making the order; and as the question related to the liberty of the subject, he thought that a literal con struction ought to be put upon it. Lord Tenterden was of opinion, in the case of " Lcvris and Manley," that upon an act passed to relieve persons in cus tody for debt, the act ought to receive a large and liberal construction. There was another ground on which he was hood to take this view. It was the first act of parliament which interfered with what might be called the sacred pdmipie previously known to the Bankrupt Law—that sr alsellaa—that a creditor must elect, and could not have at nee two remedies against the debtor. That was not a pert stile Coesolidation Act, for a creditor having got all be seell tea a debtor might take proceedings against hie pawl. That band was a very severe provision, and eon. insted with or ihs principles of law acted on in this and all ether emir lbw the time of the bankruptcy the creditor W bus ibilaimei t• auks his elation, sad dim' Wakes 1 THE EXPRESS,- FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1851. share of the assets he must release his debtor. But the Consolidation Act conferred on the creditor such large sad extensive powers, that the court, if he might so express himself, ought to catch at anythlui.: that would enable them to give the act a liberal construction. This process he considered issued from this codrt. By ai process entirely new a certificate was applied fur and granted to the party who had proved his debt, upon which certificate the debtor might be arrestod. It was true there was the process of a superior court intervening; but the original missing canes against the debtor was in fact derived from this court. Ile thought the court, when tho bankrupt had undergone the full period of imprisonment, ought to interfere for his liberation and in that opinion he was supported by the words of ir. Justice Patteson, who thought the recent act, 12 & 13 Vic., c. 106, transferred all questions relating to bankrupt's discharge to the Bankruptcy Court. For these reason. he and his brother Holroyd thought that the o rder prayed for ought to issue. No in justice would thereby be done; because if the teink rupt did not render an account the court had power to com pel him to do so, by re-committing him. If this man did not render a full and true account to his assignees in a rea sonable time, an order to that effect would be made. Under all the circu mstances he thought it right to sign an order for the discharge of the bankrupt from custody. In ix FREDINNICK. This was an adjourned meeting for the last examination in the case of R. Frixlinniek, described as a mining agent of Threadneedle-street. From the accounts filed previous to the last meeting, prepared by Messrs. Harding and Pullein. of Gresham-street, it appeared that the bankrupt owed 4,1731. to unsecured creditors and 4,1481. to liability cre ditors; to meet which his assets were returned at 4,2771. Mr. Lawrence, who appeared for the bankrupt, said there was a negotiation in progress for a supersedeas, which had proceeded to a considerable extent. At the last meet ing, certain requisitions had been presented to the bankrupt by the assignees; but as he hoped to supersede, and pay the creditors Ns. in the pound, he had not prepared answers to those requisition.. They, therefore, proposed to take a short adjournment. Mr. Sidney, tor the assignees, said the requisitions had been presented about a month or five weeks ago, since which time the bankrupt had been in negotiation for a supersedeas. The Commissioner—With or without your knowledge and approbation ? Mr. Sidney said it was certainly not without the know ledge of the assignees, and they should have been very glad if it had been carried out. So the matter rested at present. The Commissioner—ls that the reason why he has not answered the requisition.? Mr. Sidney—l think it is. the Commissioner—lt, with the full knowledge of the assignees, the bankrupt has been making . a proposition which they do not consider to be a mere evasion, but a tuna tide proposal, I think that may be a reason fur his not answering the requisitions. • Mr. Sidney—We believe that it is his intention to super sede if he can. 't he Con missioner—Then we bad better let the case stand over. Mr. Manders, who claimed to be a creditor, said he wished to prove on the estate of this bankrupt for 268/ a as the consideration money for the transfer of eleven shares in a mine called the Llyant consols, in the county of Cornwall. Mr. Lawrence objected to the proof, on the ground that the bankrupt was not liable. Mr. Sidney also objected to the proof. Mr. Handers was examined. lie said this claim arose out of a single transaction. He happened to hold 16 shares in the Llyant Mine, by which he was a great sufferer. lie called on the bankrupt fur advice, who said he thought he could sell him the shares, and spoke of two or three other mines in which he could let him have shares. He was not in trade, but was in the employ of government, in the Por tuguese legation. At the hankrupt'srequest he signed a paper called " a notice of transfer," a printed paper. He said it was necessary for him townie to Cornwall for information. Witness called neat day, and wished the transaction to be cancelled ; bankrupt promised that it should be so, but had never given up the paper. He had still in his possession the original document, stating that be was the poasersor of so many shares. What he called a notice of transfer turned out to be an actual transfer. He had the original shares at home. His Honour said he must see those sham before he ad mitted the proof. lie would, however, allow a claim to be entered, and at the next meeting the creditor must come prepared to prove the facts he had stated. Mr. Thomas, who supported the proof, Raid it appeared the bankrupt, after getting the transfer, had dealt with these shares as though they were his own. It was cus tomary, on these transfers being presented to the bursar of the nnue, for the parties to be allowed to deal with the shares. Mr. Lawrence said he did not admit the statement or the facts as proved by the witnesses. His Honour said that no injustice could arise from the delay; but probably, in the anticipation of a supersedeas, there would be no objection to a claim being entered. The bankrupt being examined, said he remembered Mr. Menders calling about the sale of the eleven shares in ques tion; it was about the llth of December, 18.50. lie stated that ho should be glad to get rid of them at a mere nominal figure, or would exchange them fur shares on which there were not such frequent calls. Witness recommended Wheal Harriet shares to him. Ile wanted a little money to meet a bill. Ile handed witness a transfer of the Llyant Consols, and received in return a transfer of the other shares—thirty-five shares in the Wheal Harriet Mine. Witness asked him if there were any calls due on his shares ; he said 451. was so due ; he afterwards found that SW. was due, and also a bill in circulation. The bursar would not pay the shares unless he had a guarantee for the payment of the bill. When Mr. Manders first called, wit nets told him he would not get immediate cash for the shares ; he replied that he was anxious to dispose of them, as he could not pay the calls. They talked over the sub ject, and witness then proposed an exchange for Wheal Harriet Anna, to which he consented, as there would be no calls made on them for some time. Ile then executed a transfer of the Llyant shares. Ile afterwards said that .4.1/. was due for calls on those shares. Witness agreed :to pay that, and hand a cheque for 201. 12s. Gd. on the transfer being duly registered by the bursar. The bursar wrote back that 88!. was due as calls on the sharse, besides a bill of about 60/. for which the acceptor of the shares had ren dered himself liable; and that, till the calls in arrear were paid, he would not transfer the shares. He communicated by letter with Mr. Menders. The market value of the Llyant shares was 181. or 201. It was arranged that witness should give him 37 Wheal Harriet shares, pay the calls on the Llyant shares, and pay him a balance of 201. 128.6 d. That was on the calculation that the arrears were only 411., but they turned out to be SIM, with the bill of about 601. for previous calls. Those two sums much more than exhausted the balance of 201. 12s. &i. The transaction was entered in his ledger. He debited Mr. ?dander' with 37 Wheal Harriet shares and commission, making 2101.75.64., and credited him by 11 Llyant Consols 265/., leaving a ba lance in his favour of 541. 12s. 61., out of which he badge, pay the 44/. call, and hand him a cheque for 101. 12s. 6d., the balance of the account. When Menders came again, told him that more was due on the share than he had Mated, and that he should not inflater the 37 Wheal Harriets in his name until he had paid the balance. He then agreed to sell witness four more Llyant shares for 721. The transfer of these shares was forwarded to the bursar, who answered that Mr. Menden had no such shares in the mine. Witness gave him the option of re-purchasing these shares at the same price. Witness had the full benefit of the eleven sharer, and dealt with them as his own property. He was prepared to transfer the Wheal Harriet shares as soon as Mr. Menders paid the balance. The acceptance of those shares was amongst his papers. Mr. Menders said he might keep the transfer of those shares till he sent down to the bursar. Had Mr. Menders paid the balance due from him at any moment before the bankruptcy, witness would have handed him over the Wheal Harriet shares. Some of them had since been regis tered in the name of Mr. Boudield, his clerk. Cram-examined by Mr. Thomas—He had a great many blank transfers in his office, to be used as matelot' required. Those Wheat Harriet shares were not of that kind. He paid 60/. on account of calls on those shares; he paid it on account of Mr. Hallett, giving him credit in account forKo., the balance of calls due, but had never directly tendered him the shares. After a conversation, it was agreed that the considera tion of the claim should be adjourned, the bankrupt agree ing not to apply for a aupersedeu until the validity of the claim was determined. Tho matter was adjourned till the 21st of June, it being understood that other disputed claims would then be /ATV). tigated. SURREY SESSIONS.-YEgTERDAY. Btroas TECOUS P.:COLO. DO., WAD A WGI.I.

The prisoner pleaded guilty. On Friday evening last, the 23rd inst., at 45 minutes 9 o'clock, a passenger train arrived at New Cross from. Epsom, and that being the "Oaks" day, a vast amount of people were in the carriage. When at New Cross one of the company's officers examined the lamps containing the red safety lights, which were fixed to the last carriage to prevent any train following from running into them. In that carriage was the prisoner and two other young men, and in the next carriage fortunately were two of the company's guards, who had been relieved from duty, and were returning to London to go home. , After the train had left New Cross and about a mile and three-quarters from the London-bridge terminus, Legg, one of the guards, saw one of the persons in the last carnage put his hands over the back, take of one of the signal lamp and throw it down the embankment of the railway. Legg had a light with him, which he turned on, and distinguished the prisoner as the party. He conse quently called the attention of the other guard to the tin cumstance, and on proceeding a little further, be saw the prisoner take of the other signal, and throw that over the parapet near the Greenwich junction. The train there fore proceeded the remainder of the journey, at great risk, without the safety lamps. This was on the " Oaks " day, and a great number of people were coming from the races, and had the train come up more rapidly:twhind, it must have run into the one in which the prisoner was, thereby causing great sacrifice of life. The train, however, stopped at the ticket station, when Legg got ou t, an d l ocked the other guard in the prisoner's carriage, while he went and in formed the inspector, who returned with him, and gave him into custody. Mr. Robinson addressed the beach in mitigation of punishment, urging the youth of the prisoner, who was the wen foe liquor. It was 'foolish, but ant a amillobaus, act ; the prisoner's own safety was bound up with that of his The Chairman and magistrates retired for a few minutes to consider their judgment, and on their return the chairman informed tho prisoner that they had eare• fully deliberated a, to what punishment they ought to inflict on him for such an :outrageous act. It was either reckless fully or diabolical wickedness. He was a young man in a high station of life, but that made his eon duet mon blameable, and nothing could excuse such danger ous conduct on his part. Had not he been seen by the guards to commit the act, most likely the following train would have run into the one he was in, and not only his life been sacrificed but a vast number of others. It was the imperative duty of the bench to make an example of him, but the court would not go to it.; greatest extent in punishing him. They must, however, be very serer as a warning to others ; consequently, the sentence of the court was, that he be imprisoned for nine months in Brixton House of Correction with hard labour. The sentence seemed to greatly surprise the prisoner and his friends, who con fidently relied on a penalty being inflicted. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERKEpTWELI.. John Allen 19, Thomas Tribe, 16, Hiram Craden, 16, and Jame Corr, 14, were charged with being concerned in a violent and indecent outrage upon Emily Arnold, aged 10. The prisoners decoyed the child, who was playing in a brick field, into a roared place, where the offence was com mitted. . . Mr. Tyrwbitt discharged Craden end Cm for want of evidence, and committed Allen and Tribe for trial. MARYLEBONR. Mr. James Dames, the master of a school in connexion with the Salisbury street, Portman-market, Chapel, was charged with having committed a violent assault upon Elisabeth Reynolds, an infant, two years of age. A boy named Charles Challis deposed that on last Wed nesday week tho little child Reynolds, who had been brought there for the first time with her sisters ' cried, and wanted to go home, un which defendant laid hold of her and shook her violent ly, and also struck her several times with a strap on the bead and arms. The blows were very hard. The mother stated that upon the child being brought home she examined it, and found that the arms were black and blue through the ill treatment to which she had been subjected. There were also marks upon her bands. The child was produced, and although a week had elapsed since the infliction of thu blows, their traces were still apparent. Prisoner in defence produced a leather strap about half al yard long, and an eighth of an inch thick, and admitted having, as the boy had stated, struck the infant with it on the head ; he felt that be was bound to maintain his authority as a muter, while in the presence of 80 or 90 pupils. Mr. Elphy, the master of a sunday school connected with that which defendant keeps, came forward to give him (de fendant) a good character, believing that he was quite in capable of anything like cruel behaviour. Mr. Long expressed his surprise that any person should, after the admission which defendant had himself made, come forward to justify him in any way whatever, and inflicted a penalty upon him (defendant) of 20s. and Data SOUTHWARK. Amelia Bennett, a showily-dressed woman, was charged with stealing 30 sovereigns, several gold rings, brooches, and a gold guard-chain, the property of Mrs. Mary Leaman, a widow, in Hattield-st;ret, Bluckfnars-road. Six weeks ago, the prisoner and her husband engaged fur nished apartments at the complainant's house, saying they came up from the country to view the Exhibition in Hyde park, and were strangers in London, which would account for their being unable to give references. They, however, had not been more than a month in their new lodging, when the landlady having occasion to go out upon business, left prisoner and her husband in the house. The com plainant returned at the expiration of two hours, and on entering her bedroom found the lock had been forced during her absence, her boxes and drawers broken open, and the money and articles of jewellery above enumerated stolen. She then went to the apartments occupied by the prisoner, and discovered that she and her husband had gone off, and she heard no more of them until the preceding day she met the prisoner and gave her into custody. None of the jewel lery had been recovered. The prisor.er asserted her innocence, and said that the reason she quitted the complainant's house so abruptly was in consequence of her having discovered that her husband had three wives living, and that she determined upon leaving him. That she was quite ignorant as to where he was, and that she had not seen him since the day she left. When asked if she would account where she went to after leaving Hattield-street, she declined answering that ques- Von, as well as from what part of the country she came from to view the interior of the Crystal Palace. The magistrate said that he should send the case before a jury, and accordingly committed the prisoner for trial. WAN DS WORTH. Henry Charlton, pointsman at the junction of the South ampton and Richmond and Windsor lines, was charged with being asleep on his post and neglecting his points and signals, and thereby impeding the transit of the trains, and subjecting them to a collision. Mr. W. Young, assistant superiotendant of traffic, said that defendant had charge of one of the most important points on the line, viz., the junction of the two branches at Battersea Rise, and his duties were mo t clearly defined, and therefore they pressed the ease against him. Mr. Young then called the following evidence: George Duckett, the guard of the Guildford goods train, elated that about twenty minutes after twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning the train arrived at that point of the line approaching the junction, where it became necessary for the engine -driver to sound his whistle to warn the signal man they were coming, when the signal which at other times denotes danger is moved in a position signifying " all right." The whistle was continuously sounded, but the signal was not moved, and as defendant's red light could not be seen, it was supposed something had happened on the line that pre vented their present approach. As soon as the train had stopped, witness sent his breaksman down the line to stop the Southampton goods up-train, and the engine driver sent his fireman, to make inquiry of the defendant, and found him in his Wu asleep. In • :manic: or two after wards the 121 down Richmond train passed them on the main line, through the defendant not attending to the points, actually stating that at half-past 12 o'clock he looked at his watch, and finding no train was coming, although two were due, he dosed off again. In answer to Mr. 'leaden, the assistant manager said, the defendant had only been employed two months by them, but be had been previously employed by the contractor on the same duty. Mr. Hendon said, had a complaint been made previously, he should have sent the defendant to prison without fining him, as it was his first offence, he should convict him in a penalty of 31., or imprisonment for one month.
