THE LONDON AND NORTH WE6TERN NAILWAT COMPANY, This was an action brought ;i the plaintiff, Mr. Si!vaster Emanuel Frankel. a gentleman 20 years of age, by his next friend his mother, to n-ouver compensatioe in damages for eery serious injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendants' . The defendants pleaded first, not guilty ; and secondly, that the plaintiff was not a passenger to be carried by them. Mr. Serjesnt Shoe. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Sir George Honyman were colonel for the plaintiff. Mr. Lush, q.c., wad Mr. Aspinall were coulee' for the defendants. Mr. Seriesot Shee, in stating the plaintiff's case to the jury, said he was a young man of robust health prior to the esculent, which took place on the 15th August, 1861. He had been study ing for years under private tutors, and he was attending the Kiag's College school lectures, to qualify himself ts a cadet for the Royal Military College for a com mission in the Royal Engineers. He retitled in London with his mother, and in August, 1861, he went into the country, partly for pleasure and partly for instruction, intending to make a tour of England and inspect various works is different parte of the country, in the hope of combining instruction with amusement. in the course of his tour be had visited Liverpool and inspected the docks, and he had goes thence to Bakewell, having pawed by a line of railway is the course of construction elm the hanks of the Wye. He slept at a farmhouse in the seighhourhood of Bakewell on the lit of September, the night before the *oddest, and walked in the morning to Buxton, twelve miles distant, intending to proceed from thence to Manchester to visit some mines in that neighbour hood. At Buxton he wept to the defendants' office and took a ticket for his journey to Manchester. There was no seamy from one pleas to the other, but the passengers were conveyed from Buxton to Whaley-bridge by omnibus, where they take the rail for Manchester, the tickets, how ever, being issued at Buxton for the whole of the 3ourney. He toot his ticket by the one o'clock omnibus, on which was stated ,utaide coach and third class." This ticket is lotted subject to the conditions stated in the company's time bills. He took hie seat on the extreme end, by the side of the driver, another passenger sitting between them. There was no footboard on which to net his feet, and the rail was , nly sufficiently high to keep the cushion in its There started from the same office a few minutes to w % the omnibus the mail from Matlock toiMsicheeter, sad it would appear there was a kind of rivalry between the drivers, for they both drove at a rapid pace, and alter mealy passed each other. The omnibus had 25 oarsmen", sad the driver took no heed of their complaints at his furious driving. Just as they approached an embankment, on ow side of which there was a fence, and on the other a slops with a siege-wall at the end, the vehicles were close together. and on one of the pawners ceiling to the omni bus driver to avoid the danger of a collision he pulled sharp to the left, and got the wheel of the omnibus off the hard read on to a soft, uneven part of the embankment, the cosemeenos of which was to throw the plaintiff and his fellow-porthoger off, the former coming in contact with the stone wall. He wee picked u insensible, and conveyed to the Joddrel Hotel, kept by Mrs. Ward, Wiles he was put to bed end Weeded to by a surgeon. He telegraphed to his mother ; but in consequence of her being at Folkestone the noway was delayed, and not hearing from her, the landlady ea the second or third day insisted on his leaving. Hom y. with the 'moistener' of a stick and some , :r e a r g2 i to the railway static., • few yards o ff , came to town. Thence he went to his mother at Folkestooe, where he obtained medical advice, and at the and of four or live weeks he was taken to Paris, to consult Dr. Switzer, where he remained five or six weeks without getting better. The plaintiff had sustained an incurable injury to the brain and the spins, and there was every probability that it would terminate in palsy and the entire loss of memory. Os the question of damage. the learned serjeent said the Aleut had mot suffered in a pecuniary sense, but he had het the advantage of following a high and honourable pro /emirs with the beat possible prospect of moms in life. B. must for the future be dependent on his friends. It was digkaft, therefore, to say on what principle to assess com pensation ; but at least the plaintiff wee entitled to a com petence for life. No money could othipethate • young man • sedi an accident, for it was tar better for • young man to =ilea with good health and an on career him than to be possemed of a competency with each I eallering. _ _ _ The jlaiotiff, who appeared to be suffering greatly from the offense( the accident, was then called, and confirmed the above statement. He said he was formerly a member of the let Middlesex Volunteer Engineers, sad enjoyed robust health, and could bear great fatigue. The driver was advise very fast, sod he was much frightened, and be spoke to hie against driving so fast. When he was thrown off he was covered with blood, and was in great pain. The land lady at the hotel refused to allow him to remain although ke premised to pay her, and he had to rave about the mead day after the accident. He had a fit whilst there in bed, sad he recollected being picked off the floor with the Dell-rope in his head. He was misted over some steps by the cook, and with the help of a stick he walked to the et atioa and came to London. He drove in a cab to the seighbourhood of Regent's.perk. sad ladies his mother was at Folkerese, he drove to the ratio° and west to her. He felt sow pair is the tack, and horrible pains in the head— ier fact he was is sesame pre that he could scarcely sit. He felt number in the legs, his sight was bad, and he could set sleep. He suffered from palpitation sad occasi onal admen. The horses were going as fast as they could seH. John Burroughs, parearm who sat between the driver end the plaintiff, gave similar oviform He was thrown off at the same time, and was coefieed at the hotel Mee days. The passengers told the driver chat if be did not let the mall per there would be an accident. He bad kept the rad for arm than a mile to prevent the mad from passing. The Urges were galloppieg when the accident happened. There was room at the spot foe two • to pass. Several other pommies were abed, sad deposed to the furious driving of the omnibus driver, and their reason eratiog with him, but of which be took no heed. When, however. be pulled on the ore side, to let the mail pass, he was galloping, and the WNW wheals of the 'bus got into a bellow, two feet deep. The sudden jerk threw the plaintiff sad the other mare off the seat. At this stage of the ore Hr. Lush, in answer to a qua floe from his lordship, rid he could not resist the nigh. game of the driver. He armed his lordship that the company were told a different story. The Lord Chief Justice said no one could fail to me that it was one of thorns accidents they had all had experience of is their former coaching days, when coaches need, and the Livers tried to per one another. It was only a question of damages. Evidere wee then given on that point. Mrs. Feasted deposed that she did sot know her see vine be came to ►her at Folkestoae. He was braked all ere ; his forehead and lip ware cut, his arm was in a sling, mad very much injured. He became delirious, and one night he mamegedto escape from the house, and was found amongst No rocks. He was highly excited and barrow. At times he got very little sleep, and he very much cons. phased of pain re has head. His memory aria eight wore imprrod. At times lee was dvoseed and cried - , sod he was usable to walk.

Mr. Ceorge Pollock, consulting surgeon of St. George's Heepltal, and Dr. Roberts, Groirvenor-street, described the injuries as permanent. The latter gentleman wee his otter's medical attendant and had known the plaintiff for Tears. Considered the brain was ur.dergoing permanent dieerganitatioc, and there would be palsy. He had oo hope el his recovery. Dr. Thomism Hawkesley, who had had the plaintiff under his abatis, said the disease wan making progress, and indult% from all human probability it would terminate in softening of the brain and his becoming idiotic. He would also be- COMP more and move paralysed, sod sooner or Liter he must leek. Tho defendant called no witnesses. :4eirjient .bee thrtrada7esaed — the jury upon the case. Mr."Lusb followed, in mitigation of damages. He de plored the lamentable injury that had happened to the plaintiff, and hi) was at a for to give them any advice r to the principle upon which they should sasses the damages. The plaintiff, they should bear is mind, was the only son of a lady who - had property, and whatever damages they pee agaiost the company would is reality have to be paid by person who were without nitre sod aufferiog from poverty. Tho Lord Chief Antra who lammed up Roder feeling of r,:swetreurieotion, maid member —This eue ving sees or o l f w tli r e d most t i t t s o iolg . ceses urt of justice.

It might be tee or twelve yews. The jurymen thin turned round to consult, rlrntet sad mediately after this officious juryman turned to the court, saying, • We am all areeil uu a verdict for the plastid, da mages Lao." This sunouncement, coming from one of the body and not through the foreman, took everybody by surprise, and the Lord Chief Justice lifted up both has hands in astonisbmeot ; and as this was the last ease is the day's list his lordship, as ie was lamina the court, addressed the jurymen, saying I should have given three times that .11110110 Z or considerably more thus that sunk, we could not catch which from the noise is court occasioned by the sur• prise of every 0011/1t so small all amount of damages. A juryman, equally astonished as the audience at the hasty and indiscreet conduct of his brother juryman, said the jury had not decided on their verdict. They were dis cussing whether it should be 1.5001. or 2,0004, when the latter, retching at 1,500., turned round, and &snooped it u the verdict of the whole. He did not want to be se amed of having no conscience, and he was one of those who were for 2,0004 At the request of Mr. Serjeant SU* the Lord Chief Justice was sect for. On his return into court, The Foreman said he was not aware his brother juryman was about to state to the court that they had agreed to such a verdict, when in fact they bad not. The Lord Chief Justice—The juryman ought not to have made such a statement. If I had thought you were not unanimous I should not have expressed myself in the way I have done. . The juryman enured his lordship they were diaminsing whether it should be 1,5001. or 2,000 , ., when his brother juryman said they were agreed. The Lord Chief Justice said the verdict ought to have been delivered by the foreman. The juryman above referred to s►id the foreman asked him to announce the verdict. _ _ The other juryman said that could tot be so, for six of them at least were for a verdict of 2,0001. Mr. Lush raid it was very unfortunate, but every one understood the announcement of 1,5001. as the verdict of the jury. The Lord Chief Justice—So did I, or I should not have made the observation I did. 11;eTtrimansiiir protested that thee were not agreed, and he was at a for to undentand why his brother jury • man could lam made such an announcement Tbs Lord Chief Justice aid that if the jury had sot agreed to their verdict, and the totems') had sot announced it as he ought to have does, he was of opinion that he wee sot justified in taking the announcement as the verdict of the jury.

After the plaintiff's ease had been heard yesterday, the defendant stated that he had been in the service of the South Western Oosapany as head clerk at the City office MOM= Ina, for about ten yeah. When he marrie d the testatrix she was a dancer and singer, but as his means were suffizient to enable him to dispense with her earnings, be took her off the stage. He had lived happily with her, though he did not deny that he might now sod then have had a purred, like other married persons. He was not addicted to intemperate habits ; if be had been, be could not have kept his situation so keg. He had never treated his wife ill. He bad invested the 200/. in the name of himself and wife, sad it remained in the funds till after I her death, whoa of coarse it became his and be removed it. She was in the habit of taking stimulants, though be did not mean to say that she got drunk. When he went home 1 he would and gin, rum, brandy, and wine by her bedside at the same time. He had remonstrated with her on the subject, and it was that, perhaps, more than anything else, which bad led to any ill feeling between them. Miss Edgar, at whose house the parties had lodged, and who wee one of the attesting witnesses, swore that there were no names on the paper which she lived, sod that she saw neither the testatrix, nor the attorney who was with her, write on it. The witness added that Yra. Yells wee at times quite unconadons. Witness had balf.a-dosen young doctots from the university staying in her boozes, and they ought to know whether she wee se Bible or not. I Several other witnesses were called, and Mr. James contended that the imputations the testatrix had east opal her husband were delude's', which proved that she was perfectly incompetent to make a valid will. Dr. Spinke replied. His Lordship Rimmed up ; and The jury found a verdict for the plainti ff s upon all the item The Court Feenounced for the will, and condemned the defirdant in ante. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Beftweßares ahaane lL) William Gabon*, spirt wheat the ooroner's jury bad returned a verdict of maidsaghter, was placed at the bar. Mr. Horyy, who appeared for the paaexaticn, said that the gnarl jury had ignored the bill that was presented to them spinet the prisoner. and this being the ease be did not propose, if he had the enaction of the court for such a course, to offer any avidness in support of the coroner's in quisition. The jury coasequeutly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Peter ltintskti, 33, an Italian, wits placed at the bar to receive judgment. The prisoner wee convicted at the August erasion of this court of forging Austrian bank soles by means of photo graphy, and a question was raised whether this amounted to an engraving of the notes in question, according to the terms of the statute. Baron Cbeowll, having briefly alluded to the facts of the case, said the judges had oonsidered the legal question that was submitted to them, sod they were unanimously of opinion that the prisoner bad been properly convicted, and the sentence adjudged by the learned judge who tried him for the offence was that of psoal servitude for six years.

This was on the 28th of October, and it appeared that between nine and tea o'clock on the evening of that day an alarm of fire was given, aid upon some persons going into the pri soner's room, it was found that the window-curtains had been on fire nd were burning, but the flame, were @Vaa -1 guisbed without any serious miechief being done. The pri soner was out at the time the fire was discovered, but she returned mos afterwards, and was at once taxed with having set fire to the hones, but she dialed having done so. The premolar's, however, insisted that she should leave, and she did so ; and on the following day a chiffonniere that was in the prisoner's room was opened, and it was disco vered that this piece of furniture was burnt and charred inside, sod there was also a quantity of paper ashes in it. Besides this, it appeared that some articles of plate which had bees given to the primmer for her use when she took messed= of the lodging bad been pawned by the prisoner • sad it was suggested on the part of the pmeecutios that thie motive for the commission of the offence was to mooed their tact It appeared that whilo the prisoner was in the Home of Detection under remand the prosecutrix went to see her, and she made • statement to her which amounted to an ad minion that she bed wilfully caused the fire on the night in question and asked the proeecutrix to forgive he r . It transpired in the cosine of the case that as invalid lady occupied the room immediately over the one rented by the prisoner. Mr. Lawrence, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said that, but for the supposed confassim she was repre sented to have made, there was not the slightest evidence against her, and he submitted that • young girl lam the prisoner might have said what she did under the lawmaker that it would save ber from being prosecuted, although the fire was in reality the result of accident. Two or three witnesses were exarnioed, who gave the prisoner • very good character, and described her as • good tempered, inoffensive girl. The learned Judge having summed up, the jury, after deliberating for some time in the box, mud they were not likely to agree. Eleven of the jury, it appeared, had agreed upon a verdict, but the foreman said that the twelfth gentleman had intimated that he would not concur with his brother jurymen if he sat for a twelvemonth. (A laugh.) They accordingly retired to deliberate, and alter an absence of little more thee half an hour returned and delivered • verdict for the primmer of Not (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Patrick Lela, 17, was indicted for unlawfully assaulting dohs Leach, his fat her, with intent to do him grievous bodily bans. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Chambers prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended. From the evidence offered it appeared that the mom enter is a private in the Artillery, stationed at North - Woolwich, end the prisoner has been living with him for some time past, leading a life of laineesi, and refusing to do any work whatsoever. His father at length becoming dis gorged with him turned him out of doors., and refused to support him at all. On the night of the 29th of November the prosecutor was naming doers one of the streets oe his way to the barraeloi, when the prisoner went up bellied him and struck him a tremendous blow on the hack of the head with a large stone from the e ff ect of whi c h h e fell to the ground in an i nsensible condition. The son was about to repeat the blow when a bystander interfered to prevent him, and gave him in custody. On being searched another large stone was found in his pocket capable of Melding a fearful wound. L defence, the prisoner admitted that he had struck his father, though not with intent to do bodily harm. of. had hers very badly used , and finally tamed into the streets in a desolate °rigidities : and on the day in question be had been most cruelly ill-used, and he bad in a moment of passion gone up behind his father end struck Dim a ali*ht blow. The jury found the primmer Guilty of the felonious intent. The Court deferred lodgment. Bridyeg Ford, 20, spinster, was charged with felosiously wounding Elisabeth Stout, wth intent to do grievous bodily harm. Tie prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Daly pigmented Mt. Cooper defended. It appeared that about a month ego the prisoner took out a summons at the Thames Police Court against the prt.l4e ootor's sister, who was sentenced to 21 days imprisoatneLt. Shortly after they bad left the court, • g l s iush:de arose, and in the melee the prosecutor mailed a blow on the bead, which she swears was given by the prisoner with a decanter. She lost a ootosiderable quantity of blood, and was confined for 14 days io the London Hospital. For the defames it was 000 tended that it .- was the prose. tutor who had struck the first blow, and it was dewed that the prisoner had used • decanter at all. Several witnesses were called, who swore that there was no decanter at all, and it was evicleot that the prisoner had received • very violent blow at the back of the head. Acoordieg to the various witotsses the row seemed to have lasted about half an-hour. . . The learned Judge having summed up, the jury at owe Acquitted the prisoner. Henry Henning, 33, soldier, and Was. Henry Pearce, 28, soldier, were placed at the bar on a charge of committing a violent assault upon Mr. Henry Turner, and stealing from his person a watch and 7a. in silver. Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted ; the prisoners were node. fended. It appeared that on the 12th November the prosecutor bad occasion to be at the other side of Hydelark, and after having finished his duties he went into a public-honse, where be met the primmer', with whom he had something to drink. When be was leaving they asked him if he could show them the way to St. George's Barracks. As he was going that way he said he could, and they proceeded to gether across Hyde-park. When they had got about half way the prisoners began to fall about and push up against him as if they were drunk. Turner asked them what was their "little game," when Banning said he would soon show him, and at the same time made a spring at his throat, and the two then attacked him in a most savage manner, and left him in an insensible condition, after taking his watch and seven shillings from his pocket. Not con tent with robbing him, they kicked him most brutally, and be suffered from hi, injuries for some considerable time. He afterwards picked the two men out at the Wellington Barracks from among 1,500 men stationed there. In defence the prisoner stated that the postman was drunk when he left the public-house, and that they bad not seen him again till he went to the barracks. As for their going with him across the park, it was a pure fabrication. The jury found both prisomen Guilty. The learned Judge, in passim sentenoe, said it was a for tunate thing for the prisoners that the new act had come into operation, or he would have felt it hi duty to have sentenced them to a long period of penal servitude. That act gave him the power to order them to be flogged, and in this aloe he thought they richly deserved it. The sentence of the court was that they be kept in prison for the •pace of eighteen Weeder monthe, with hard labour, and that within the Bret six months of their incarceration they each receive the number of thirty lashes with a whip commonly called the cat-o'-nine-tails. The primers, who appeared astonished ►t this sentence, were then removed. Josue Gore, 53, labourer, vu indicted for feloniously being at large, without any reasonable excuse, before the termination of • sentence of fourteen v ears' transportation. Ma. George Harry Palmer prosecuted. The prisoner, who plead: i t ir i t ah %nilty, was undefended. evidence was gone into from which it ap peared that the primmer was imovicted of burglary at this court in 1856, and on the 12th of April in this year it was known he was at large. In his defence the prisoner stated that be certainly was the roan who had been sentenced to 14 years' transportation, but he had received his ticket-of-leave early io this year. Unfortunately be had lost the pooket-book to which he had plated his papers, and so had no mune of cleating himself. The learned Judge summed upend said that undoubtedly this was a cue of peat suspicion, but be really could not say whether there was any method of finding out the truth of the prisoner's statement, and whether or not any docu ments were kept, or whether& registry was in existence in any of the public diem smetsining an entry of the tickets of leave granted, be could not say. He bed no doubt, how ever, that Use jury would be riAtly guided by their judg ment in the verdict they would hod.

J. Hoene Payne attended on behalf of the prosecu. tins, and in opening the case briefly stated the following facte:—lt appears 6at the burglary was committed at the residence of Yr. Percy Otey, No. 7, St. Alban's-road, Ken tish-town, on the night of the 19th of October. Everything was fastened up securely the night before, but the next inceninfi it was found that the place bad been entered and the articles mentioned in the indictment were mining. vie., • olver teapot, • set of silver spoons, and • quantity of other articles. About ltalf.paat six the following morning the two prisoners were met by • polke-conetable, and having his suspicions of them he took them into custody. On M'Kestie wax found the whole of the silver article., while Dunn had poreasion of • small umbrella, which bad like wise been stolen. The jury found the prieoners Gnu dry. Both prisoners had been before convicted, and they were now sentenced, M'Kenzie to fin, aad Dunn to three years' penal servitude. Julien Franks, an Italian, was indicted for feloniously wounding Richard Wales with • knife, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared that the proserutor was returning home late at night about a month ago,when he ran foul of the prisoner. who i k. mmediately pulled out • knife and stabbed him in the In hie defence the prisoner stated that he bad just been robbed of his watch by four men, and when the prosecutor me spinet him he thought it was one of the thieves re- Inroad. 1 . 14 statement was borne out by the officers. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of unlawfully wound ing, end he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. _(Before the Recorder.) Wm. Rou, 41, dealer, was indicted for feloniously receiv ing divers waterproof coats and other articles, the property of Bachhard Bannbauni, well knowiog the same to have been stolen. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sleigh acd Mr. Oppenheim prosecuted; Mr. Orridge defended. _ _ _ _ -- finQs should have been tried last ussion, bet it was then remanded is order to stand over until after the convict Yates had been tried for perjury. The latter was, on Tues day, tried and acquitted in the Old Court, and yesterday Be..'. ease was proceeded with. The evidence of the convict, who was brought into the witness-box in manacles, was wroth the same as that given in the many different cases in which be be. figured so coospicuously. He bed stolen a number of waterproof-coats which, aooording tohis evidence, he had sold to the primer at a very low figure, the latter knowing they were stolen. The jury Acquitted the prisoner. 1 (Before the Common Serjeant.) George Dario, ZS, described se being • tailor, Edward Sweeny, 19, labourer, tied Henry Kelly, 30, labourer, ware indicted for unlawfully end feloniously assaulting with violence one Michael Prendergast, and stealing from his person a snuff-box and a pocket-book, his property. It appeared that ace and all of the convicts had already suffered ponashmeet for acts of felony, and that they were the habitual associates of the worst of thieves and prosti tutes. The bearing and conduct of the priaoners during the time of the recital of their former mimes was most offensive. The Common fierjeant, in passing sentence, remarked that the offset* of which they bad been meet justly found guilty was of • most serious dissector. The offence bad been committed upon an almost helpless old roan. And for that offence they were liable to • sentence of penal servitude toe life ; but be would not go to that extent. It appeared that Davis bad deserted from his regiment, the 15th Dragoons, and that oo reference to the commanding officer of that re giment it appeared as the evidence of Sergeant Shore that that reference was met by a refusal to receive him back into the service. The other two prisoners had already been pre. viably coovicted. Referring to their former career, he would make a distinction in the sentence, and that sentence was that the prisoner Davis be sent to penal servitude for the term of 10 years, the prisoner Sweeny to 7 years, and the prbooer Kelly to 8 years' penal servitude. At the clam cl the case, the Common Ferjeant remarked that the officers Shore end Ackrell had done their duty in this ease well, and had made their capture in a moat gallant manner. Elizabeth Brorn, 23, in the calendar described es • spinster, and Mary Ana Milian's, 28, also • spinster, but both being noted prostitutes, were indicted for • hi g hway robbery wi th violence upon Sarah Morris, and stealing from her persona ring, a mantle, • shawl, and • brooch, her pro perty. The jury, without the least hesitation, returned a verdict of Geary spinet both the prisoners, who seemed perfectly callous as to the result. The Common Serjeent told the convicts that they bad been convicted on overwhelming evidence of a moat cruel and wicked outrage upon one of their own sex. The career of both was well twine, sod the court had not any hesitation in visiting them with severe punishment The sentence upon the prisoner Brown wen that she b e k e pt i n penal ser vitude for the term of six years, and th e p r i soner W i lliams for five years. Jute Murphy, described ea aa agent, 39 yawed age, wee indicted for embezzling three dims gurus of i 5 . 174., d., sad Se 104., received by him as collector sad servant forthe Royal Liver Provident Society. Mr. Metcalfe, with whom was Mr. Abel, conducted the premintioe, and Mr. Daly defended the prisoner. The cm presented was a renewal of a former prosecution splint the prisoner on which he was acquitted. The present indictment referred to auheequeot 'remotions which in volved • matter of account. After a lengthy inquiry, which involved no potet of public interest, and after an able address by Mr. Daly os the part of the prisoner, The Common derjeaut summed up. and the jury, after a short consultation. retareed a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. Metcalfe, es the part of the praxotioo, intimated to the court that there were vii other indictments upon which ho should proceed. The prieooer was accordingly remanded to his former custody, sod the other indictments remain for trial. May Curisberiend, a middlmaged woman with an lase& in her arms, pleaded guilty to emend indictments eitargiag her with robbing temporary !edgier', and was sentemesd to twelve menthe' impneeemeat, with hard Wow. (Baton Mr. Commiarioser Karr.) Stewart, a cattle dealer in Perthshire, was in. dieted upon a aharge of having ceased to be es pose d is New pis-market 3001bs. of diseased meat, the same being wtolly neat for human food. Theta were also four other counts is the iidietarat. Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Poland, and Mr. Nicholson prosecuted ; and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. who pleaded not guilty. From the very voluminous evidence laid before the court the following may be given as the chief points. It ap pears that • person named Fairleigh lives at Cuper Angus, in Perthshire, where he carries ou the busineu of pig-jobber and shoemaker, and in September he was possessed of two cows which appeared to be suffering from a disease of the longs, and which Fairleigh therefore desired to dispose of to the beat advantage. The prisoner resided close by, and on hearing that these two cows were for sale, proceeded to Fairleigh, and after some bargaining ultimately agreed to give lam ff. for the two. Fairleigh consented, the pd. ironer gained possession of the cows, and at once engaged the services of a killer ; the cows were slaughtered, and were nicely dressed, and then consigned to a Mr. Leigh, of Newgetsernarket. In due course the inspector of meat came round, and seeing the state of the meat consigned by the prisoner to Leigh, at once pronounced it unfit for human food. It was taken before a magistrate, and there and then condemned, and proceedings taken out against the prisoner. For the defence Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury at am- Utterable length, urging on their consideration the serious nature of the responsibility which was cast upon their shoulders. It could not be denied that the prisoner had sent the meat to Mr. Leigh, but at the time he did so he was quite unaware that it was unfit for human food, and he was therefore clearly entitled to an acquittal. The Commissioner roamed up at coosiderable length. The jury immediately returned • verdict of Guilty. Mr. Commissioner Kerr asked the meat inspector what effect this bad meat would have upon people if partaken of. The officer said, a cco rding to Dr. Letbeby carbuncles would be produced upon the body, as well as tharrhon of a very severe nature, and in many eases death would result. Mr. Commissioner Kerr, addressing the prisoner, told him he had been convicted, after a patient hear ing, of • most serious crime • indeed, he did not I know of anything more serious. De ath might result from the bed meat being This kind and if so, of 03[1210 it was little abort of murder. This kind of thing was very largely on the increase, and it was his duty to pus a very severe sentence. It had come out in evil-Noce that his own men, when he had killed the cows, had cut the lungs and found them to he diseased, and had afterwards tolhim (prisoner) so. Certainly could not think of anything more reprehensible than his conduct had been throughout the whole proceed fog. It bad appeared from the evidence that a very large quantity of bad meat came from the neighbourhood of Cupu Anm, and he hoped that after the sentence which he intended to pus had been recorded, the people about that locality war he more careful for the future what they seat to London in the shape of meat. The commissioner then sentenced him to be imprisoned for the apace of twelve calendar months—et the expiration of which time to pay a fine of 501., or to be imprisoned until such sum sh ou ld be Paid- The prisoner wu then removed, when Mr. Commissioner Kerr severely assured the first witness, Fairleigh, who had sold the prisoner the cows, and he expressed his opinion that he (the witness) ought to have been placed in the dock with the roan Stewart. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the Assistant-Judie.) Elizabeth Anderson, who was wedded last session of dealing • silver watch, the property of William Graham, in his dwelliurbouse, was brought up for Judgment. The AssistentJudge said that as it was the first time she had bees convicted of stealing, he should deal leniently with her, and the matey* of the court upon her was that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one MOULD. Daniel Iraway, 40, labourer, was indicted for wilfully damaging two pawn of plate glans, value 101., the property of George Vires He was found Guilty, and senteneed to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for four months. Joshua Daniels, 64, described u a confectioner, was in , dieted for stealing a quantity of furniture, the property at Leak Nathan. Mr. Oollina (instructed by Mr. Vann) prosecuted ; Mr. Holdswortk Weeded the prisoner. This was a creel and moot heartless robbery, end commit ted wider very painful sod aggravated circumstances. The prosecutor is • poor man with four small children, living in Dinah's-court, Petticoat-lore, and gained a scan 4 living for his family by hawking fish purchased at an early hour in the morning at Billingsgate-market. In the month of May (the precise day could not be stated) the prosecutor left his home as usn,l at 4 o'clock in the morning, leaving his four children in bed, but on that particular morning his wife was not at home, as she bad assigned some excuse the day be fore that s hel wanted to sleep on that night at her mother's. When the prosecutor returned home on the morning in question, between 8 and 9 o'clock, to get his breakfast, he found his children nearly naked, the pillows, counterpane, blankets, and sheets taken from the bed, and he also missed 12 knives and forks, 12 plates, a table cover, and several other articles. The total value of the articles he bad last was upwards of El. The prosecutor made known his loss at the BOW-square police-station, but he could bear nothing of Lis property, and his wife had also disappeared with it. From inquiries the prosecutor made he went to Hull in search of his wife and property, but he was =sac- osedul in obtaining any clue to them, and he returned to London. He subsequently went a second time to Hull, and having obtained some information ea to the prisosen whereabouts he procured from the magistrates of Hull • search warrant, With this search warrant, and accom panied by James Hare, No. 131 of the Hull police, he went to Gerdeuetreet, where he found that the primmer had opened a shop in the eoefeetioeery business, and his (prose cutor's) wife was also there mated behind the counter. On searching the house a number of articles were found which bad been taken from his bane is Loudon, and amongst them the pillows and bedclothes produced. The prisoner was apprehended sod conveyed to London. The a 4 immediately Maimed • verdict of Guilty. The t-Judg•e laid that this was one of the most atrocious Mee that bad ever come before him, for the prisoner bad taken advantage of the absence of the husband at market to earn • livelihood for his children to induce the man's wife to elope with him to Hull, and was heartless enough to strip the children of the covering on them while they were in bed. It seemed that almost up to the present time he had been living with the prosecutor's wife, and hecould hardly conceive anything more atrocious than his eosiluat had been. Were the court to lose the opportunity of punishing him with the utmost severity it would not be discharging its duty. He was living with this woman, and her tour poor children were left ou the world. It wee • most heartless and cruel ease, and the court would visit him with a severs ponishment, which was, that he be kept in penal servitude for four years (Before Mr. Payee.) John Sullivan, 18, labourer, and William Green, 12, were indicted for stealing 181 h ol bacon, value 10e., the property of Arthur Bich. -_ Greenp leeded guilty; Sullivan pleaded not guilty. The jury found Sullivan Guilty. Mr. Payne, in passing sentence, said that there was no doubt that Sullivan had incited the younger one to steal, and that it was by his influence he had pleaded guilty. The sentence of the court was that he should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine months, and he should remand Green for further inquiries. The female who accompanied Mr. Allen stated that she had a daughter about 19 years of age, who had been en gaged in different capacities at theatres, but latterly as a ballot girl. Her attention was called to the following ad vertisement which appeared is the Daily Telegraph of last week :—" Corps de Ballet .—Wanted, a few diuwaysai—tall only—lucrative terms. Address Mdlle. Pleas, rcet-office, 51 Fenchurch-street, City." The applicant stated that she wrote to that address, gave description of her daughter, arid asked for the terms of Mdlle. Pleon, and also wherethe theatre was situated. In return she had received a letter full of the most filthy and indelicate words, stating that her daught e r wou ld be required to meet young gentlemen of fashion connected with the aristocracy who had plenty of money, but who were rather weakmirided. The letter was handed to the magistrate. A second letter naked for an immediate answer, as there were several other venous waiting for reply. This last letter concluded by statieg that it the young woman would secede to the terms proposed, she would be well paid, and in addition would be handsomely rewarded by the gentlemen to whom she would bsintroduced. 11r. Klen stated that it would be seen by the second letter that if the young woman did not alit in this country, she would be sent on the Continent. Mr. Barker said that the letter was really disgraceful. He had no doubt that great good would result from the publication of this application, and that others would be deterred from falling into the snare that was evidently in tended. The society no doubt would do all they could, and ecutununinte with the police on the matter. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE Frederick George Really, who was brought up on Wed nesday last, upon a charge of forging the sigoaturee of the Marquis of Anglesey and the Earl of Uxbridge to several bills of exchange, was yesterday again placed at the bar, to undergo a final examination upon that charge. Mr. Lewis, jun., again appeared to prosecute ; and Mr. Champ appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Lewis said he proposed to complete the ease, and call the Martini. of Anglesey, who would prove that the signa ture was not his lordship's, and he would call a witness to =Titbit th e other signatures were not the Earl of Ur • 's writing, that nobleman being out of the country. Mr. wis said he was also anxious to state that, although the peieoner bad stated that the bills were given to him by C=Maisey, that statement wiz not for a moment and he was now prepared to prove that that gentlemen, who was now Major Massey, was in India with his regiment, where be had been for some time, and as Mr. Peters had been so assailed in cross.examination, be thought he ought to state that that gentlemen had given every information in his power, and that it was mainly through his services to the polio, that the prisoner was apprehended. In reference to the bill upon the Earl of Westmoreland he did not propose then to go into that at present, but if it were to be proceeded with the prisoner would have due notice before the trial. The Marquis of Anglesey was then sworn, said stated that neither of the acceptances to the bills produced, purporting to he his, were written by hint, nor by hie authority. He did not know the prisoner and he was not • member of the Junior United Service Club, neither did his lordship bank with Messrs. Hoare and Company, at whose bank the bills were made payable. In answer to Mr. Champ, his lordship said the signature did not in any way resemble his. Mark Lyndsay, • clerk at Marra Cox and Co's., army spats, Crsigs.court, said the Earl of Uxbridge banked with Messrs. Cox and Co. Ha knew his handwritieg, and the signature and endorsement to the bill produce, were not Wm, neither did they bear the slightest resemblance. Charles Arnett, clerk to Messrs. Clack, army *seats, was thee cisßed, and proved that Major Morey, known as the "Reds. Mainey,” was at the time in India with his regi ment, where he had been since July last. The prisoner, alter the usual (maim, to which he replied that he would reserve his delouse, was committed for trial, hie lordship refusing to accept bail. CIA!tK*N WELT.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT Lrsgeoues.—Yeeterday morning the police obtained infer ameba which tends to throw some light on the mystery surrounding the death of the late Mr. John Driscoll, whose body was found is the river Lea, at Limehouse, under sir - °muteness that gave rise to an inference that he had been robbed sad murdered. The deceased, who was con nected wish engineering watts at °ermine, in Spain, bad arrived in England only three days, when be sud den ly dis appeared on the 30th of October.

He then went out, and was no more seen. He bad corns to England about the parches* of machinery for the lighting of the town of Coronae with pa. He was of sober habits.

The owner of the gloves has now been found. Owing to the publicity given to the facts the commandant of the 14th Hamm at present stationed in Manchester, directed John De Caux, 380 D troop of the 14th Human, to call upon the police authorities in that city. De Cane made a statement to the following affect—that he met the deceased in the White chapel-mad, and was asked by him to "take a glom," and then go to the theatre ; and as he (De Cane) was 'himreif going to the Princess's to meet his brother and to see can of the anon, they both went there, and were there joined by hi (De Caul's) brother, Edmund De Clang.

Dr. Letheby said that he had received from Dr. Gayton the stomach and portions of the liver and small intestine of de ceased • the stomach and intestine were almost empty. lie tes ted for mineral and vegetable poisons, but found no trace. The intestine was inflamed, and stomach was not. He also received four stomach pills. They were composed of an aromatic, apparently gentian. Several medicine bot tles, kn., were also tested, but no poison was found. If the deceased, had been poisoned and - had vomited almost im mediately with great violence the poison would probably cot be found. He might expect to fed a trace in the liver. The eymptime described accompanying deceased's death were most remarkable. He could not attribute them to any natural disease which would not present traces after death. Elisabeth Manna, • little girl, said that her mother did not live happily with Mr. Breather. On the Monday night before bar death he tool up a boot and bit her on her back or aide.
