IRELAND. DOWN. Dac. 22. freriedas states that the directors of the Midland Great IWestern Railway have concluded and signed a contract on most favourable t!irms with a London company for the immediate laying down of the electric telegraph wires along their line from Dublin to Galway. This announcement, in con junction with the expected commencement of the steam communication -between New York and Gal war is highly interesting. 'the Erasing Pa , koi has the following statement: — Mr. Batas, an English gentleman of lugs capital—and What would have been more to the district—of large genM bad recently purchased Lord Illaney's estate, his brine at the tune to nuke his newly-aequired pro perty his future place of residence.

The facts of the case were shortly these: Matthew Wilkinson, the father of the plaintiff, bad been for many years • servant of the de fendant, and late in life had come into a considerable sum of money, by means of which he bad purchased the p in question; he was an illiterate and ignorant man, warp= implicit confidence in his master.

The defendant afterwards claimed the property as his own, and asserted he hail paid the purchase money partly in money and par!) , in goods. lie had also tiled a cross bill against the plaintiff (or an account.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1851. dented that any allotment with his knowledge wee eves nude to him, or communicated to him. The:. put the °M. Mal manager on proof of the allotment having been actually made, and the proof Undered by hint was the viol vote rumination of the secretary of the company above stated, on which his Honour remarked that the blank form could not have been the form on which the letter addressed to Mr. Conway bad been sent to him ; and that there was no thing in any book or record. or in the viva Toes examina tion of the secretary, to show what was the address of the letter posted to Mr. Conway. Nothing could ,be more laws. Now, on this evidence, what was Mr. Con- way's position ? He was • member of the provisional committee, who applied for shares and agreed to accept them if they were allotted to him, bat they were never al lotted. It was not alleged that Mr. Conway took part in the proceedings of the provisional committee, or that he at- tended any of its meetings; and his Honour thought that this case stood clear of Uptill's case, and that Mr. Conway was not liable no a contributory. The motion was re fused, the official manager to pay Mr. Conway's emits of this application, and with liberty to the official manager to pay them to himself out of the company's assets. BRISTOL DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Baro■Y COMIIIMIONIM 11.. Sactaserr theruisx. Rz PTIILLIP JONFS, OF LLANOATOCIE, BANIMB A meeting fur choice 'of assignees node; this flat was I held yesterday, and on account of the connexion of the bankrupt with the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire Joint Stock Bank, as well as the rank be had occupied in the county of Monmouth and the heavy nature of the alle,ted liabilities, it excited great interest. 3lr. Stone, of the Western Circuit, and Mr. W. Bevan appeared for the petitioning creditor; Mr. Tilson, of Loudon, for the London Joint Stuck Bank; Mr. Fox, of the brat of Protheroc, 'foo good, and Fos, for the Monmouthibire and Glamorganshire Bank ; and Mr. Charles Bevan and Mr. Overton, for other crtditors. Mr. James Edwards attended as accountant of ' the bankrupt. Mr. Tilson tendered a proof on promissory notes to the antom.t of 14,0001. Mr. Stone said he had to object to the proof, which was upon various promistory notes drawn by the bankrupt and accepted by other parties, anti which in some way found their way into the bank, and had more or lees become mixed up with thy account with the bankrupt, and for which the bank held r.eurities to a great extent. Now, he objected that the bankers had no right to pick out those notes front the irLneral account and prove upon them, they holding securities tor the balance of their claim. lle was instructed that this gentleman (the bankrupt) had held be tween 4,000 and 5,000 sham in the bank, which were held as security Mr. Frazer, the manager of the bank, was present, and he would a-lc him where were the certificates for those shams? „. ...-.... Me. Fraser—The bankrupt never had any. Mr. Stone—No, of course not ; that was the fact. The bankrupt had received the dividends, and yet the bank held the securities. It was clear that the bank claimed a lien upon them, that they claimed to be entitled to hold them till the culls were paid, nail also as security for the general balance.. Mr. Tilson said his ob'ect had been to render a proof to which be thought no objection could be urged. He had endeavoured to steer clear of objections and difficulties which he foresaw might arise upon any proof being ten shred for the balance, and had therefore carefully abstained from making it. The notes upon which the present proof was offered had not been mixed up in any way with the general account. They were bills which the bank had discounted. Mr. Stone—But the bankers were at liberty at any time to put the amount of the notes, even if they had not done so, to the debit of his account, and then to make the secu rities which they held liable and:available for the balance. His Honour said, if there were any securities be supposed they would be put in as exhibits. Mr. Tilson said the bills slid not form part of the account at all. The only exhibitions were tho bills of exchange themselves. The bankers claimed to have no security on account of the bills, and it they had they would give them up. Mr. Bevan—You could not do that ;:you are a pubic officer. Mr. Stone said he would produce a banker's pass-book, which the bankrupt had received from the banker's, and some of the bills (if not all of them) would he found entered in that account. _ _ . Ilimour said that wag a matter of fact which could be easily ascertained. Mr. Tilton captained that the hook was not a past-book which had been kept between the parties, but an exact copy of the ledger which the bank, up.nt being applied to, had sent to the official assignee. At tarn as an assignee had been chosen he intended to present a proof, stating the securities and the balance which the bankers claimed. Mr. Bevan said the general body of crediton had no disposition to deprive the bank of proof Mr any corn which might be due to them, but the accounts were of such • nature that they would require to be looked into very minutely. What did his Honour think had been charged from NS' half-yearly as interest ? 3 i,hoflt., to say nothing of commission and discounts. The creditors would require to beet. this inquired into. Decides the bank had a security for 40,000.. and other securities. His Honour—You do not dispute their debt. Mr. Stone—No. Wo say they have a larger debt than they ask to peon for, but then we say that all the transac tions are covered by securities which ough: to be exhibited. Let the matter come fairly beton us and then we shall so how it stands. Mr. _ ___ of the securities have been realised by the bank, and we ought to sec that the proceeds have been properly applied. I wish your Honour to ask the ofheial assignee how long it would take to look into the ac counts. _ Mr. Acraman (official assignee) said the account extended over a period from I!40; and, as tar a, he could see aft, to examine the details would require two months. His Honour—But it cannot be neces‘ary to make such an examination at present. All we have now to inquire iy are the notes upon which the proof is offered involved in the account 1 __ Mr. 1 ilson—No. Mr. Stone—We say that they are, There is one security for WOOL to cover any balance. His Honour was inclined to think that it was incumbent on the party giving the proof to enter more lareely into his case. It might lie, no doubt, material to him to endeavour to insulate the menu., by confining his proof to the several notes, saying that they w.rc not at all involvid ; but when doubts were suggested, and there seemed reason to suspect that they might be involved, it became material that the party applying to prove shouid launch his case on a broader basis, so as to show the court generally what was the na ture of the account. Mr. Tilson.—Supposing his Honour to be right, and he had great reason to respect Ins opinion, still, the observation would only apple to the first transaction, because the other bills were discounted for parties. Mr. Bevan repeated that the general body of creditors had no desire to do anything unfair, but it would be necessary for them to look into the matter. They proposed as assig nee Mr. John Russell, of Risen, a most respectable and ta lented gentleman, who was a magistrate of the county, and a gentleman of the nicest honour. Mr. Russell was a Large coal proprietor, and was wholly unconnected with the bank either as a 'Wren-Icier, debtor, or creditor. Mr. Stone—As intelligent and highly honourable a man as could be chosen. Mr. Bevan—On the other hand, they want a gentleman who is a shareholder in the bang. Mr. Tilson said he had no objection to Mr. Russell per sonally, but he had formerly been • partner with Mr. Jones, and there had been matters between them involving a Chancery Suit. Mr. Bevan said they bad been unconnected for many years, and then only as shareholders in • joint-stock concern. Mr. 'ninon said he proposed a eery honourable gentleman, Mr. Thomas Powell, of the Oaer. Mr. Bevan—He is a shareholder in the bank. Mr. Charles Bevan would not have ventured to interfere, but that there seemed to be a disposition to compromise the matter; and he thought it right to state that he represented a creditor for 2,0001., whose only objection to Mr. Russell was that he . was nut a creditor of the estate, or interested in it in any way. Mr. Stone—He is a perfectly disinterested man. Mr. Bevan said he had no objection to associate Mr. Rus sell with Mr. Overton, but he did object to the bank having a preponderating influence. His Honour said, no doubt the bank onght to be repre sented, and if it carried the choice, it would no doubt have a right to name an assignee. The court, however, would have a discretion in the matter to object, and he should think that be ought to UPC the interests of the creditors justly represented. He should suggest that the bank named one assignee and the creditors represented by the other gentleman another. A good deal of conversation between the legal gentlemen pro and con then passed, and it was finally arranged that Mr. Rumen, Mr. Powell, awl Mr. Overton should be joint assignees, and that the bank proofs should be considered at some future meeting. to supply them with an omnibus to convey them home, and he having broken that contrast, they were not bound to go en with the freak engagement, though they did play one night after the breaking of this contract, in order to en If It would be again fulfilled ; and, finding . it was not, the plaintiff, together with the rest, determined on not playing oria the aura time, but still carried out the terms of the cont set. And then, on the following Monday, they were discharged . I thi nk the week's notice wu , and it appears to me that the plaintiff is entitled to =et with costs. Mr. Simpson ezpreterd himself satisfied with the court's decision, and consented to a verdict against him in all the other eases. Barons Vlca.Cia.vcataos Eta R. itattasarr. ItOrKINS C. CADDICK.—iNJUNLTION TO SESTRAIN Till WoRILING or CuAL MINES. Mr. Malin and Mr. Renshaw moved in this case on 1 c half of the plaintiff., who were lessees of a coal mine, in the parish of Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, for an injunction to restrain the defendant., who were lessees of an adjoining coal mine, celled the Tiridale Mine, from working into or interfering with the plaintiff. mine. The evidence in support of the application proved that the plaintiffs having reason to suspect, from the quantity of coal sold weekly by the defendants, that they could only obtain it by infringing upon the plaintiffs mine. directed potions to inspect the defendants' works ; that great iliffi. cultic! , were placed in the way of such iaspection by a dam being raised to darken the mffit and by the air being cut off faun the pipes, so as to prevent the mcu from breathing or keeping their lamps a light. That alter several attempts the plaintiffs were at length able to procure evi deece that the defendants had worked as much as half an are of a thirty yard seam of coal belonging to the plaintiffs, and in consequence of this conduct the plaintiffs now taint fur an injunction to I resent a contiuuance of the illegal Proceedings of the defendants. Mr. Craig and Mr. Morris opposed the motion on the ground that the court hail no jurisdiction to interfere by injunction to restrain an act for which an action at law might be brought, and for which compensation comma eurate with the damage don: might he obtained at law. The Vice-Chancellor said ho had no doubt whatever as to the jurisdiction of the cart to interfere. It was true that the court could not grant an iujunction to re strain a single trespass, but that was nut the ease where there was a continued trespass, particularly in respect of a mine where it was difficult to see the atuount of damage and to obtain evidence of it. It had been argued ' that there was no irreparable mischief here, and that the plaintiffs ought to be left to their legal remedy, but where a party was actually working a mine belonging to the and in fact biking away part of the property, the court had full power to interfere. The evidence went to show that the defendants had worked into the plaintiffs mine and bad proceeded 30 yards beyond their own boun dary, and under these circumstances he should grai.t the injunction, Lut the plaintiffs must amend their bill and bring before the court the representatives of Mr. Pcniber tun, from whom the Rate was granted, but aho it was stated had since died. ECM, NAIR IN THE MATTER OF THE JOINT-STOCIE COMPANIES WINDINO-CF ACTS PM AND 1849, AND OF THE BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND TUNBRIDGE WELLS Dam: r RAILWAY COMPANY.--CoNWAY'S CASE. --....... _ Ou the 224 July last Sir W. Horne, the Ma<ter to whom the winding up of the alisirs of the above company was interred, made an order directing the nun.. of Mr. Seymour Conway to be struck out of the list of contributories. This was 4 motion by the of cial manager that that order might be discharged. It appeared that Mr. Conway retitled at Kennington, from the month of January, ISti, to the mouth 01 Au gust. INIO, and that from the month of January, 1541, to the month of January, ISto, he carried on bu-ine.s in Star- Court, Bread-street, in r.,rtntrahlp with another person, when he retired from business altogether, and the budnos 1 premise.; were given up. Previously to tlw month of Oe tuber, 151.11, he applied by letter for shares in the above company, and ti be placed on the list of the prusi , ional committee ; but he received ao answer to his app lication or • - communication until the month of October 1545, when he re ceived a printed circular from the secretary of the company, stating that the qualification fur a provisional director was the holding of 50 shuns in the company, and request ing to know whether he would take them; and in reply thereto he sent • letter dated from his residence at Kenninirtm, the 14th of October, 1815, which was as follows: •• Kennington, 14th October, 111,. Sir.—ln answer to yours of yesterday, I beg to say I have made an upplicatiun ter 50 shares, and as a member of the provisional committee , I shall be obliged if you will allot them to use. I am, yours obediently, Seymour Conway. To the Secretary of the Brighton, Lewes, and Tonbridge Wells Railway Company." Mr. Conway deposed that neither the secretary nor any other per-on replied to that letter, and that he did not receive any letter or communi cation en the subject, either assenting to his application, or declining the some, or allotting any shares to him in the 01,11111.111 V, or otherwise ; and he therefore concluded that his application was not granted, and that no shares had been allotted to him, and that his name was not placed on the provisional committee. lie further deposed that he did nut further interfere therein, that he did not pay any deposit, or call, or other payment in respect of any shares in the company or otherwise, and that he had not signed or executed any agreement or died relating to the com pany, or any shares therein or otherwise ; that he had not attended, or been present, at any meeting of the provi-ional committee, or any other meeting of or relating to the company, nor had he either directly or indirectly in terfered or acted therein, or in the affairs thereof, and he had no knowledge of any matters connected with the com pany. On behalf of the official manager it was proved that on the 10th of October, ISt), the provisional committee or the managing committee passed a resolution in these words— " That the number of shares offered to the provisional committee be fifty, and that a letter be sent to each gentle gam requesting an answer on or bean. the lath of October, 1845, stating what number (if any) he is inclined to take." And that this notice, with a letter from the secretary, was sent in pursuance of this resolution to Mr. Conway. `Then VIM no other evidence of what the contents of the litter were except from the above letter of Mr. Conway, of the 14th of October, 1945. In a viva ewe eaamioation before Oil Master, the secretary stated that in reply to that letter of Mr. Conway, be sent to that gentleman the usual letter of allotment, and a letter hail been received from him, stating his readiness to receive those shares. It also appeared that Mr. Conway's name had been inserted in the printed list of I the provisional committeemen, and that his name had been struck out by an ink line, which had been rubbed out by the finger, and it was a matter in dispute before the court whether the name had been struck out by the order of the directors or not; and as to this particular the evidence of the secretary was indefinite. The secretary, in his .viva voce esamin ition, also stated that he had nu doubt he had sent a letter of allotment to every one whose name was is the list ; and in answer to the question, " Is that a copy et the letter written by you to Mr. Conway 3." the secretary said, ff It is • true copy so far as the printed portion, but the blanks were filled up according to the number of shares applied for,' ; and in Mr. Conway's case the blank was tillcd up fur ad shares. The case was argued en Friday last. Mr. Terrell, for the Mired manager, submitted that Mr. Conway's case was exactly the same as CAN! (2 House of Lords Reports, 674), and that, therefore, Mr. Conway's name meet bs inserted in the list as a contri butory. Mr. W. W. Cooper, ffr Mr. Conway, said the distinction between this case and Uplill's ease was, that in Cptill's c..se there was an actual acceptance of shares previously allotted, whilst in the present ease there was no evidence of any ao teal allotment. Ile cited Carraichaal's ease (17 Sim. lea), Onien's case (1 Simons N.S.), Carrick s case (11). 501), Barber's ease (15 Simons 51). The Tiee-Chaneellor now delivered judgment. After stating the facts of the ease. he said it bad been contended that this c.eee was governed by l'ptill's cam, which no doubt was binding in this court ; but looking at the circumstances of the present case as far as he bad stated thins there was a clear distinction between the two eases. In Upfill's ease there was an allotment of shares. rpfill was • provisional committeeman, and had accepted the shares allotted to him, In the present case there was no appointment or allotment. A resolution had been passed that a certain number at shares (fifty) should be offered to each provisionel awe mittee man, and • letter was to be sent to each somber requesting an answer, stating the number which ha was inclined to take. The allotment was not to take place, V at all, until after the answer had been received. Mr. Cots way's letter contained a request that filly shares should be allotted to him, that is w hen the allotment of shares should take place. In Uptill's case there was an actual allotment of slums.

DERT.II.O4, Drc. 20.—Seven men, named Richard Lincoln, William Hunter, William Stagg, John Lake, Robert Buckle, William Harwood, and John Hunter, who were brought from Norwich Castle in charge of Mr. Pinson. the governor, and a strong force, underwent an examination yesterday before the magistrates sitting in petty sessions, at the Assembly Rooms of this town, on the charge of being concerned in a most murderous affray near Lytton, in this counts . , when Mr. Superintendent Parker of the con stabulary and another officer in the force nearly lost their lives through being shot at. The justices who presided were the Rev. J. Padden and the Rev. W. Grilling. Colonel Oakes, the chief /of the police, was present, as also Mr. Superintendent Andrews, and several of the rum. For some reason, not explained, the magistrates I thought fit to exclude the reporters ; but the following, we believe, were the main facts adduced : For several weeks ! past much alarm has been created in the neighbourhood of Letton he a gang of some Id or 20 poachers prowling about the woods and preserves, and threatening the most mur derous consequences in the event of being interfered with in their indicvlul pursuit. They intimated their intention of visiting tlm woods of Mr. B. Ciurdon, of Lytton-hall, and, on the night of the 29th ult., a party of 11 of the gang visited the cottage of the gamekeeper, a man named Whit acre, and warned hint not to go out after them, at the same time firing a volley at the dwelling, as if to more fully con vince him of his fate should he pursue them. At length it was arranged to seek the aid of the constabulary in capturing this di sperate gang, and Mr. Suserin tendent 'Parker, of the Swaffham division. and several of his force, amounting in all to 13 or 14 men, were stationed in the vicinity of the estate. On the night of the 6th in stant, about 12 o'clock, the discharge of guns was heard in the woods, and the superintendent with his men et once proceeded in the direction of the report. At length they came up with a body of poachers, in numbs r nine, who apparently had noticed the approach of the officers, and had prepared them selves for a desperate resistance. Elevating their guns they shouted "stand off," and before the constables could proceed a step further three of the guns were fired at them, and Mr. Parker beino at the head of his force he received nearly the whole of the charge of one of the guns in his fare. 11c staggered and fell back to the ground, and sub sequently it was found that he hod been shockingly wounded in the checks, mouth, and other parts of his face, thirty-five or thirty.six shots having been extracted from these injuries. Anoth, r officer named Greenacre also received several shots, but fortunately at the moment he was standing rather behind a tree, the trunk of which was shattered by the charge of the second gun. The officers seeing their superintendent fall a desperate effort was made to capture the men. After some sharp fighting the poachers were overpowered. hut only three were appre hended at the time, the remainder escaping through the wools. They were bound to have disguised themselves by blackening their faces with gunpowder and turning their clothes inside out. The men who were captured on the spot are said to be Richard Lincoln, William Hunter, and Robert Buckle. Guns, quite warm, showing that they had recently been discharged, were found in their possession. On the same night William Stagg and John Lake were ap prehended, and a day or two afterwards William Harwood and Johu Hunter were arrested. The wounded superin tendent was cot able to attend, but it was stated that his condition had not become more dangerous. The investiga tion closest with the whole of the prisoners being fully com mitted to Norwich Castle to take their trial at the ensuing spring assizes. Two of the gang are still at liberty, but it is thought that they cannot long elude the vigilance of the police. TUE MADRID AND VALENCIA PsAlLWAY.—Diffi culties, it is understood, have unexpectedly arisen, which will prevent for the present any distribution among the shareholders of this company of the proposed dividend of 245. • share, accruing after the protracted negotiations with Mr. Chadwick and the directors from the compromise of this company's claims. The SUMS agreed to be paid down in the first Instance, namely, of 3,0001. by Mr. Chadwick, and of 4,0031. by Mr. Waley, it is stated have been made, arid these, together with the 17,0001. recovered from the Spanish government, have gone, subject to costa and expenses, to form a fund of 24,000/, assail. ble for distribution among the shareholders, and now in the hands of the official manager, but that officer, acting under legal advice, declines, it is underato,d, to divide the money, there being a doubt whether the present holders of the scrip, the large majority of whom have been purchasers in the market, aro legally entitled to this return, the act of parliament for winding up joint stock companits being so framed as to recognise those parties only as members or contributories, and in either alternative as liable either to pay or to receive, who stand on the company's books as original allottccs. The latter, although they have disposed of their sh ares , wou ld , on this assumption be entitled to a second payment ; and the only remedy for the actual seripholdera would, it is thought, be by recovery at common law from the original aUottce. The Blaster has at present declined to give any directions, and the matter is consequently at a " dead lock." MORE. GARROTTE ROBBERIES AT - NIANCEIESTER.— Three more of these now too common cases were investi gated yesterday, at the Manchester Borough Court. In the first case two men, named William Copstick and H enr y Thompson, had robbed another, named Henry Compton, of 9/., on Saturday evening. They tied a shawl tight round his neck till he was insensible, and then rifled his pockets, The prisoners were remanded till Friday, for further evidence. In the neat case a man named Shore was robbed in a similar manner, by three men and two boys, of a watch, 30s. in gold, and some copper. Only one man, named Wil liam Shackleton, was apprehended, with a woman named Ellen M'Curdy. The latter was discharged, ani the other was remanded till Saturday. On Saturday evening also two men, named Bibby and Caulfield, robbed another named Abram Orme of 2a. 7d., in Bird-street. C au lfield put his arm round Orme's neck whilst Bibby searched his pockets. The prisoners were committed to the assizes. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, DEC. 22. Bacsax Ma. Bm.oi FLAW. STAIIHINO. Periek Kelly, 20, el;indicted lor cutting and wounding Elijah Waterhouse, at Bradford, on the 16th of November last, with intent, &c. The evidence left no doubt that several wounds were in flicted on the pr ssecutor by the prisoner. The principal question was as to the intent, and upon this point it wits proved that after the prisoner had been apprehended, he said, being quite sober at the time, "The fact of the matter is, I am &papist or catholic, and the man I have struck i; • protestant; and if I was sure I had done his job, 1 wouldn't care." The prisoner now said that be had been pushed off the Bags and struck at first, and that he returned the blows in self defence. The jury found him Guilty. Mr. Baron Platt passed sentence. The prisoner appeared to have been actuated in the commission of this offence by the most deadly motive—that of religious prejudice. Ile had asked the court fur mercy, but how could he expect anything of the sort when he had extended so little to the unfortunate victim of his passion ? lie must be transpurttel fur 15 years. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Georgc Henry Daridson was charged with stabbing a law stationer, named Quillv. Itichard Brand said he was a law stationer, and that between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning he was drinking with some friends of the same fraterni - y in Ship. yard, Temple-bar. They had been drinking, but were nut drunk. The prisoner was there, and said he wished to strike the fellow with the bushy whisker—ne ailing Quills', who was also of the party. he then went up to him, and blows were exchanged. Quilly cried out that he was stabbed. The police having been called, the prisoner was civet into custody, and Quilly was conveyed to the Kng's College Hospital in a weak and bleeding state. , Witness could not swear he saw the blow struck with the knife. James Herbert, a law stationer ' said he was drinking with some friends between one and two on Cie previous morning in Ship-yard. The prisoner was there, but he did not then know him. The prisoner and Quilly began fighting. Some one said to witness " For God's sake, don't allow your friend Quilly to fight ; that man (meaning the prisoner) is a desperate character, and always carries a deadly weapon with him." Witness then went to separate them, when Quilly called out, " He has stabbed me." Quilly's hand, were bleeding, and he said he felt very weak. Witness then laid held of the prisoner's collar, and he said, " Don't hurt me, I have done it." Quilly had been drinking, but was not drunk. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, who appeared fur the prisoner —The house where the disturbance took place was a brothel, nut a public-haus:. There were about a dozen persons drinking beer and spirits. Witness had been at the house about a dozen times. Ile could not say that the landlord was a sighting-man, and gave lessons in boxing. Mr. Chitferall, law stationer, keeping a shop in Holborn, said he had been speaking to Quilly in Ship-yard a few minutes before the disturbance. Two or three blows were struck, and then (billy leant against the wall and said " The vagabond has go: a knife, and has stabbed me." An alarm was given, acid a policeman came up and turned his light on the pavement, and alter a short search witness found a dirk. The instrument was very sharp, with a small point, which had been bent by the force of the blow. Quilly complained of being very weak, and on his way to Bow-street opened his waistcoat, and asked him to look if be had not been stabbed in the breast. Witness could tat see in consequence of the darkness, hut he saw some blood on his hands. Witness saw the prisoner hold up his hand, but he could not swear whether lie struck the blow with the dirk. Wright, police constable, said—About half-past one on Sunday morning he saw a crowd of persons iii Ship-yard, and he went up to see what was the matter, and he there saw Quilly bleeding at the mouth. He said, " The pri soner has stabbed me." Ile turned on his light, and saw the dirk picked up by the last witness. The prisoner dropped the sheath on his way to the station. At SIM sta tion the prisoner denied the dirk to be his. Quilly was drunk, end the prisoner the worse for liquor, but not so bad as the other. Mr. Hall read the certificate of the house surgeon at King's College Hospital. which stated that Quilly was re ceived at the hospital with a serious wound in the thorax, i and that his life was in danger. He also read another roe I tificate, stating that he had passed a tolerable night, and was much better. but ant yet out of danger. Mr. Lewis applied for a remand, and also that bail might be accepted for his re-appearance. He said the prisoner was a highly respectable young man, the son of a tradesman, a client of his, and that he believed hita incapable of committing such act except under great provocation and excitement caused by drink. Ile had un fortunately gone up Ship-yard with some women, and whilst there he had been very badly treated by the party, of whom Quail' was one. Mr. Hall said he thought the evidence was at present clear It was impossible to show any consideration for a man who carried such a weapon about him, and afterwards denied it was his. ' Mr. Lewis said, even supposing the blow were given by the prisoner, which was very doubtful, the wound was a simple puncture, of no very serious character. Under these circumstances, he thought bail might be taken. Mr. Hall could hardly think that such certificates be banded to him if the wound were not something more than a puncture. It seemed to him that the dirk had struck against a bone, and been bent by the force of the blow. Ile should remand the prisoner until Monday, and would not take bail. The prisoner was then removed. LAMBETH. Yesterday a gentleman whose name did not transpire, but who was stated to be a medical practitioner in the London-road, applied to Mr. Elliott for his opinion as to whether he should be justified iu pulling down a placard which was posted up at the Catholic Cathedral, in St. George's-fields. The applicant stated that the placard in question an naunced that a grand pontifical mass would be celebrated on Christmas-day, and a si rmon preached by the Lord Bishop of Southwark, and inasmuch as there was no such person known to the law, or legally recognised, as the " Lord Bishop of Southwark," he wished to know whether he could be held criminally responsible, or subject to the pay ment of penalties, for tearing it down ? Mr. Elliott—You allege, I suppose, that some person has illegally assumed the title of the Lord Bishop of South wark ? Applicant—Yes, sir ; I hold that there is no such person known ; that the placard is a misrepresentation ; and I therefore want to know whether I would not be justified in pulling it down. Mr. Elliott—l shall read you the law on the subject. (The magistrate then read extracts from the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, and added)—Thus, if you are in a condition to prove that the title of Lord Bishop of Southwark has been assumed by anyone, you can, on obtaining the permission of her Majesty's Attorney-General, take proceedings for the recovery of the 100/. penalty. Applicant—Your worship does not thick I would be jus tified under the circumstances in pulling the placard down? Mr. Elliott—Certainly not. HAMMLRSMITH. Thomas Lahee, a gardener, living at the Royal Crescent.' mews, Kensington, appeared to show cause why he should not be adjudged to support a male infant, the illegitimate offspring of a single woman named Mary Ann Thompson, of whom he was alleged to be the putative father. The complainant was placed in the dock during the in vestigation, charged with throwing her infant upon the floor of the court under circumstances of considerable bru tality.
