I I.IIIIMOMMI 4 ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUFL—CnovDox, Acorn 27. (Bofors Mr. Harm Bramwell ea a SperislJery.) WOOLLIT I. TOLE.-TAE C.ItIDDI•EOCEE MIL . . The case for the plaintiff was further proceeded with, and • ear ety of additional evideoce was given. The jury interposed at one stage of the ease, and inquired whether it was necessary to go into suy further evidence of Ile the value of the contests of the house. Mr. Lush said he would admit that Mr. Woolley had laid MA a great deal of money upon the house. Mr. Florin inquired if 110 was to understand that his learned friend admitted that the fittings were worth 7,000/. ! Mr. Lush said he would admit that they might have cost Mr. Woolley 7,000%., but at the uure time be should con. teed that they would not be worth anything like that sum to pull down and sell. Mr. Royal asked if be would admit that it would take 7,0004 to replace them Mr. I.uah said he bad no objection to do that. He did not dispute the cost of the fitting, but he disputed the alleged value of the furniture, which was insured for 5,000/. The witseas then stated that the horns always appeared to hint to be full of good and valuable furniture, and it was in the same state only a short time before the fire. Croes-examioed—A gentleman named Baylis acted as the adviser in matters of taste to Mr. Woolley, and they were very intimate. Witness was employed by Mr. Temple. A statement made by Mx. Timbrell, the referred to, previous to his death, was here put in read. It was to the same effect as the evidence given by the last witness. He expressed his opinion that the articles purchased by Mr. Woolley were genuine specimens of antique furniture of the most rare and valuable description, and that it would he impossible to replace them. He also stated that he had expended n o eso4oool. in the purchase of gold for the purposes of ' . He estimated the Talus of the fur situ', at fi t or 7,000/., and of the fittings at 7,0001. Hobert Finch proved that he was formerly in the service of the Hoo. Mr. Comm, and he had occastortally acted as waiter at C►mden-houae when there was a party. He gave the same evideoce frith regard to the furoiture, and said that be had been in Apeley.hoose, liensiegton-palace. and a great many poblenien'a houses., end he had never seen one /010111 fully or more elegantly furnished. He said then was not a mingle vacant place when a picture or an ornament could be put up. ilia observation of the home extended down to the month of March, 1862. On the morning after the fire he went to Mr. Stevens's, and saw Temple, and he made a wetenient to him with regard to the origin of the fire. Croesenamieed— Upon some occuiona when witness at tesded to wait be was in livery. Mr. Woolloy provided the livery. He had seen as many as four hundred persona present at some e the parties. Mr. James Oottos said he was formerly a furniture dealer. sad had had greet experience is all classes of furniture, and attended all the priories' palm, end had seen man of the noblemen's show houses. In I&S9 be salted permission to look over Oemdeo•bouae. and he considered the furniture most valuable, and worth at lout 8,0091. or 9,0001., and is fart some of it could not be replaced. If ft bad been sold by public auction he believed it would have baked more than the sum ha bed mentioned, and that people would have given halfes-erown for a catalogue, solely far the par pose of seeing it. Mr. Woolley pre his parmision to take his friends over the house to see it, and Ise was there in November, 1861, and all the furniture was there at that time. It would ie . ,e a lifetime, even if a lean bad the money, to get up such another collection or ancient and emle furniture. 1-1 had beard that Mr. Woolley was in the habit of attending sales, but I am not aware that good thing( are sometimes picked up at sales very cheap. Mr. James Templed. a gendarme residing at Torquay, gave similar evidence with reprd to the quantity and value of the furniture end fittings in Camden-house. Cross-examined—He bad seen Camden-home more crowded with furniture than it was after the furniture bad been removed to Tunbridge Castle. In answer to a question put by the )jury, the witoces rid that ha did not at any time miss anything material in the ahem of furniture from Camden home. The original lease of the premises was then put is. It sus tained the usual oorsoants to insure and keep the baildiog is repair. The sum of 6.0004 was eves for the lease for 99 mars, sad the plaintiff was bound to insure to the full value of the building.

The offer of thaw has been already stated, audit will be noseceseary to repeat the The inourenos upon the furniture for 5,000.. was mode in November, 186 L Mr. H. B. Leonard said that be was o• intimate terms with the plaintiff, and he had frequently been to Oamdeer hour sod was well acquainted with the eaters of the furniture and the fitting contained in it. To the best of te t l l ndgmeut, and having some knowledge of the value of as furniture and litter of this doscriptioe, he was of opinion that they Gould not be replaced fo r leer than 15,0001. The witeeee added that an uncle of his had fitted up a Midi (mailer house in Hydeliark-garder tea similar style and it cost him 28,0001. Creresamined—A man would be very hooky indeed if he mold purchase such a lot of furniture r there wee in Camden-hour for • rum like 2,0001. or 3,0001. The articles that were is it were rob as were only sees in palace& Mr. O. F.

Ho bed always noticed that the bore we. fully sod melt beautifully banished, and he saw no difference ea this day. When he west Mr . Woolley wee dried to him, bet he heard hie voice, and came out of the library sad asked him to ge to him. He appeared to be at work and had ea an odd sell of clothes, and be observed that a number of books wee, lying about open, apparently to dry or air them. He also noticed that varnishing appeared to be going oa, and that sane dice or cloth of some kind was banging from the ceiling apparently for the purpose of covering the pictures and the earwig. He was quite mire that varnishing wee going on at thin time, for he put his card upon a table. inteoding to write something upon it, wh en h e was told that ldr. Woolley was not at home, end he found some varnish upon the Gard, and he kept it ea a mentento of the Dorris( of Orodendouse. bovilltben said that at present this would be the elm for the plaintiff ; bat as so much had bees said on the provions day by his lammed fries& upon the subject of the parolees of the candles is Oa:Qt.:l.'4lml, It bed been thought advimilde to bring forwerd the people from the shop, in mar that the Mkt be explained. They were sot yet in attesidaoce, bade expected they would boos Snit e• and be should then ask his lonialtip to allow them to be awaited. Mr. Ina mid he had so objection to this beteg done. The witness referred to. Mr. Grooves, tallow chandler, in liPeChdordetreet, came into court daring the adjoornment, sad be wee examined. His evidence, however, only went billion that is January last sixty pounds of ceadles of the ordinary household desenptions were purchased at his shop and sent to Mr. Woolley's house. This closed the ease for the plaintiff. Mr. Lush Una peoeeedcd to address the jury for the de fandaat. He sedlt was now his duty to lay before them the ease be prepared to make out on the part of the Are once, in answer to the present action. He felt based to thank them for the ;nitwit atteotias they had psid to the evidence for the plaintiff, because after the plausible tat that had been told them, it was possible they might have be. come impatient at the amount of time that bed already lees occupied, sad considered th a t so earner ocadd be given to such a came. He was sure, however, that it was unsitscies nary to inform them that the defendants would never have pat forward the deface they had done, and which was one calculated to be almost destructive to their interests as • senunercial undertaking, if they bad not fully believed there was good foundation for it, sod although the allerastive was undoubtedly • terrible one, he should ask the jury to my by their verdict whether the plaintiff was proved to bans bees guilty of the crime of areas or sot. After some further preliminary observation, be said that his learned friend had accused them of delay, but what would have been said if such a charge as this had been made without the fullest considered°. ; and as to ginag Mr. Woolley into custody, what would bawl been said to that case, and would it sot have been urged as ea set of great cruelty towards Mr. Woolley, and that the i seseeues company bad deliberat e ly dosed his month by maids( the charge in order to save _pane. him the money. It appeared to him that • greet dad of the evidence that had bees addend might have bees spared. There was so doubt that he had spent the whole of his wires fortune and • cos siderable portion of that of her slater ups this house, but he submitted that it was clear that at the time the fire happened Mr. Woolley was almost at the end of his 70110.01T04. There was wily a small portion of his wife's sister's fortune remodel's, and the expenses of keeping op the eetabliehment must have b een muc h greater t h an Mr. Wool ley could bear. The jury would remember the extraordinary peewee:one that were made shortly before the Ace to emir up unity the whole of the windows, and the most expo. nested members of the flre brigade would give their opi- D4Olll that wider ordinary circumstances a hailding sash as this, the walls of which were of very great thickness, could sot have been consuraed is such • short period by fair means. They would also remember that the hoar at which the ere orrourred—nemely, just before daylight on the flooday moraing—was • period when the mon death like Million prevailed in the restrepolle, and tide would be foead • matter of nopernaes. They would also bear in mind that Mr. Woolley bad gives hie own account of the lira, and he woad show that la • _crest many particulars he bad sot s p o k en the truth.

If theme clothes really were in the position he bad mentioned. fur what pur pose could the) have been placed there' how could they account for the fact in any way coosistently with the plan tiff's innocence! With regard to what bad been said about the shirt that was worn by the plaintiff, he did not know that it was material what shirt be wore, but the cane on the part of the defendants was, that os this night Mr. Woolley had not gone to r e d at all, and therefore it was more pro. bible that be should have had a day shirt on than a night shirt. The learned counsel then proceeded to comment upon the evidence that had been greys with regard to the character of the fire. and he said he should show by the evidence of one witness who was looking attentively at the fire, that it first appeared at the back, and in the course of only a - few minutes. it seemed to spread over the whole house, and the flames were seen in every room. and every portion of the house seemed to be on fire. Three other witnesses living in the neighbour hood would speak to the same fact, and one witness who was sitting up attending on a sick relative would prove that so far from Mr. Woolley having gives an alarm, the first thing that broke the stillness of the night was the rattle of the policeman. It would also appear that in is than an hour, little more than half au hour in fact, the whole of this im mense building was consumed, and before six o'clock the place was a heap of Mee, and had burned itself out. Those who were well conversant with such matters would tell them that in all their previous experience they had never heard of such an instance of destruction of property. His learned friend had been appealed to by his lordship, and Baked whether he proposed to give any account as to the origin of the fire, and they bad heard what explanation he had given. It was admitted there were only two firm in the house, and they were at a considerable defame from each other, and could cot have caused the result that took place. After the admissions that bad bees made as to the manner in which the house was prepared by piaci.; the paper and the cloth from the ceiling to the Boor, bethought the jury would see that if this paper was set fire to it would have accounted for the fire appearing *every room almost at the same moment. Some attempts Md been made by his learned friend bast imputatioss upon Temple, but this person had every inducement to support the interest of Mr. Woolley, as he owed him a considerable sum of money, and would no doubt have employed him again. He was boned, however, to speak what be believed in his eon science to be the truth, and he would tell them what no. , curred within his owe knowledge on the night in question. I He submitted that it was rather an extraordinary proceeding for Mr. Woolley to have gone downstairs with Crozier on this night, and that he should have sat upon the steins while Crozier was, as he mid, fastening up the lower part of the house. The person he had referred to, Temple, no doubt was under the impression that after the hoses wee as fire no attempt was made to save him, and immediately after he left his room the staircaae fell, and he believed that hie wife and eon had been destroyed. Hs would, however, tell them all that occurred on this night, and he should contradict the evidence that was gives by Mr. Woolley sad Oy estet • in several particulars. Another fact of considerable sig nificance, as it appeared to him, would be the evidence of • person who ems wail **tainted with Mr. Woolley and Crozier, who would prove that, although they had both positively stated that they did Dot leave the boon altar eleven o'clock, be saw than walking arm in arm as half-pest three o'clock towards the hones in a street called Church-street, aad the on.. as the pert of the defendants was that Mr. 'Woolley had sot 1 , ..- , :. to 1.,... at all as thie night., and that the clothes sad the pair of boots to which he had alluded, were placed in the position where they were found for some purpose, the nature of which mold be guessed at by the jury. The leaned soared thee referred to Mr. Wodby's ortatemant of the abeam stances ocenected with the fire, and said that be should contradict him in several most important consideratioas. One fact vouched by Mr. Woolley himself is this report was that nearly throe-quarter of an hour elapsed bakes • policeman made his appearance, when the fact was that the roof fell in in less than that period sad the premium were mainly consumed. It was also fah* that the fire broke out immediately under the bedrooms of Mr. Woolley and Crosier, or that they were in the condition of immediate danger which they repossested, and he urged that thews statements had bees drawn up with • view to peewee the public mind with an impression favourable to himself. It was MA trite that the fire broke out when they represented, baton the coutrary, it wt Ant men in all those room that bad bees peeputd and varnished in the way that had been described. He seed sot tell them that there wee an impression on the mind of the Temples that Mr. Woolley had not made any attempt to alarm them wham the fire happened, and on the Tuesday after the fire Mr. Woolley wrote a letter to Mrs. Temple, evidently far the perms of propitiatiag her. The learned counsel read the letter, which congratulated Mn Temple upon her escape, and requested that she and her husband should sot devote any atlantic* to businem se it would teed to retard their recovery, and co= other statements as to We eessinet at the time the fire was discovered, which be mid ho shsald be able to positively contradict In this latter be also mods ass of the expres sion," Thank Clod, my mosses of mind sever left me for • ooziest i'' so that he mid ha meet have been aware that whet he was stating wan tales.

He whited them to understand &Meetly that L 'r eMl SY sot deny for a moment that he had game to peat expense is the " fittings," as they were termed, of Camden-house. Ho would admit also that he had foolishly, and he might almost say wickedly, squan dered away the whole of his wife's torten, in this manner. They should recollect that he had no revenue of his owe to support his expenses with, and that when hie fortune woe expended Le had no mesas whatever el support. big his establishment, and it was admitted that he had for a considerable time been dependent upon the income of Min tope, his wife's *Mr, • emider. able portion of whose fortune, he might at the same time remind them, he had also eqesa&wed away hi the same meaner. That these fittings had end • pent deal of money he should not of course attempt to deny, although what they would hays fetched if they had been palled down and mold would have been quite another matter. He was, how ever, calling their attention loth., poetics ef the Plaletifl, and to the probability that be should have committed sack an act as we. imputed to Min.

It was unnecessary for him to remind them that many men in similar cirearestanses had destroyed themselves rather than let their real position be known to the world, and who could not bear the humiliation of publishing their condition to the high sad grand people with whom they had been in the habit of associating ; nod this was the tinhe had to submit to them to aocoust for the icy of the connalesion of this set. Upon the subject of motive. however, he would remind them that he was not called upon to show any motive ; and if be satisfied them by maaosable evidesee that Mr. Woolley had wilfully set fire to this home (and so mean could have done it), if the Are was wilful, it was their duty to say so by their ver dict. The learned ceased then proceeded to recapitulate the points upon which be mainly relied in support of the de fendant's plea that the Ire bed been caused wilfully, and said that with regard to the snit of clothes, be believed the jury could come to no other conclusion than that after the home had been est on fire, Mr. Woolley, who bad not gorse to bed at all, bad undressed himself io the passage down stairs, and had left his clothes them and bad then gone into the garden in his shirt, and in the ooudition in which be was found by the police. The following evidence was then adduced for the defendant : Temple said—l am a builder and carpenter, and reside at NottiegbilL 1 but became aoloalated with Mr. Woolley in 1847, and I have worked for bin ham that time down to the lire at Camden-boom. I was employed very extensively, and latterly I had apartments IsQuoden house and took charge of it while Mr. Woolley wee away. I never had any dispute with him, and I consider I was under obligation, to him. I remember Oohed Waugh living at Camden-house in 1866. I was at the house fre quently in November, 1861, and on the same night the family left for Brighton I and my wife and son went to live there. Mr. Woolley CM, to Camdee-house with Crozier about three weeks before the fire. Dories the interval they were mostly employed in varnishing sad covering up the pictures and the carving. The furniture was generally covered up, but sot the carving on the walls. I never sew that covered up in the same way before. Mr. Woolley and Crosier amused to be on very friendly terms, and they frequently took their meals together in the housekeeper's room and the library, and I have seen them walking ars in arm together in the streets near the house, both by day and night. Mr. Woolley's sight was defective. The cloth was waled to the top of the room and bung loosely down to the boor. This was done in the hall, the ante-room, and the atairesee. The Waging of the cloth commenced immediately after the return of Mr. Woolley and Crosier from Brigh ton. h ton. I us derstood from Mr. Woolley that the object op the cloth wee to keep the dirt hem the pictur=the carving. Os the day before the fire there were no muds. to the dieing-nom windows, but ea the night of the hie I obeervel some tapestry over the dicing room windows, and some drollest over the hall windows. This must have bees. pot up on the satorday, and when I saw it it was looped up on ow side, and but for this every _particle of light would have been excluded. I saw Mr. Woolley put up some of the drugget and calico over the pictures, but I did not am him put anything spat the windows. ()a the Friday before the ft* I was is the library and I ob served a somber of hooks co the table and bee r , standing me their mile, own. I also noticed ea the Marrows that gaper was thrown lamely over some of the carving, and a quan tity of paper was placed loosely in the middle of one of the rooms. - It was the ordinary paper used for papering moms Buse Bruised asked the whams whether paper of this dareireisa berme freely? 'The Mews said that it ad. The jury said their experience led them to forma dilly , not opinion. The witness said this paper was very thin and common paper, with very little colour in it, and it would burn freely. He then continued-7 believe there were not more than five or six pieces; at least I did not see any more, nem may have been as many as forty. 1 went to bed on the n' ht of the fire about a quarter past 11 o'clock. I h a d pommel, been into the green-room and the housekeeper's-room. I took a ledger in which I bad been writing from the green room to the housekeeper's-room, and locked it up in a cup ' board. I had been writing in the green-room until about half en hour before I went to bed. I had been Walesg i° sausages for my supper. (A laugh.) The tannage, were not cooked ln the house. Crozier came into the room while I and my wife were having our supper. There was nothing but dying embers in the grate when we left the green , room, and we west up the best staircase, and met Mr. • Woolley and Crozier, who appeered to be coming from the bed-room floor. I said to Mr. Woolley, " Good night, sir." When Crozier came into the green-room he asked for wood, and said that Mr. Woolley 's fire was nisei out, land that he wanted the wood, because Mr. Woolley was going to sit up to work, and he at the same time said he thought Mr. Woolley wee taking leave of hie NOM, When I went to bed, everything appeared to be perfectly safe. I was awoke by the noise of crackling of fire, and when I got tip I found that the house waa in flames. I celled out to my wife and moo, and told them to follow me, and I then went towards the (mud staircase. The place wee fall of smoke and firs, and when I got a short distance, I heard my wife say she could not come arm farther, and I heard • crush, and I saw my wife fall, as I thought, the RUMS. I was about to go towards them, but found the smoke and fire prevented me, and I then re collected that there was • door near, by which I might get upon the leads. I crawled on my hands and knees to this door, and after a good deal of difficulty succeeded in opening it, and in doing so my bands were severely burned. I hut to peas Mr. Woolley's room, ad there was no appearance of a fare in it at this time. A ju ror i' lnquired of the witness whether he saw Mr. Woo or whether he attempted to give say alum to hies. e replied that he did not—be wee in great suffer ing, ands much bewildered. The juror remarked that, notwithstanding, he gill! repro nested that he had looked into the room, and had ascertained that time waa no fire there. The witnese said this was the fact, but he could give no explanation why) be bad not called out to Mr. Woolley. He than proceded to state that having got upon the leads, he succeeded in making hie way into the house of Mr. Egg, and shortly afterwards be feared that hie wife had Jumped eat of the window, and had been takes to Mrs. Stevens's, and that his eon was also there. He mid hi attention =Ord called to the suirjeot of the fire about six weeks afterwards, when Mr. Readall, so w icitor to the Sun ffiraollice, called upon him, 6E4ed him a statement of the article@ that were represented to have been destroyed in the Bra The Wham was thee examined at very oonsidemble length with ref/ream to the different items contained in the claim, and it will be sufficient to state that the effect of his evident, wee to show that a peat Timmy of the articles that were dinned for were not in the house at all, and that with regard to others for which large sums wen claimed, they were comparatively of in• significant value. He also said that during the whole time be was making his escape from the hoe= in the way he had described be beard no shriekiag or crying for asistaiwe, end the first thing he remembered hearing was the sound of the policeman's rattle. This witness was then erase-examined very severely by Mr. Bovill. In answer to the various gnostic= put to him, be said that the list or ataisinset be referred to might have wontained altogether as seamy as a theme= ikons. Mr. Randall, the solicitor to the Elan Fire OE= when =sad upon him, showed him the list, and he looked over it with him for about two hours and a halt, and he pre him all the information he could, and be took the list away with him. He believed that a gentleman named Freers= called upon him in reference to the fire about three days after it happened; bathe had no communication with him, as at that time he was blind. Mr. Teesdale, the plaintiffs solicitor, called upon him after Mr. Randall, and he also showed him a list, and he bad some earrenation with him remised= it. He informed Mr. ilasdall that Mr. Teesdals had called upo him ; but be did not tell Mr. Teesdale anything about Mr s . Randall having bees there. Mr. Bovill asked the =lases how it happeaal that he should have informed Mr. Randall that Mr. Teesdale bad called noon him, and had not informed Mr. Teesdale of Xr. Randall having don so. The witness appeared costumed, and hesitated, sad it was some tie= before le gave as answer. He then said that be could not tell why be did sot say as to Mr. Teesdale. Mr. Rosin still preened the question, end the vita= sp• pawed either unable or unwilling to answer it. Bares Bramwell told him it was no use detaining the mart is that manner. Everybody scald see what his reason was, sad be bad better avow it. lie thought, no doubt, that be waste act in the interest of one side ably. The what= then admitted that this was the rearms. He was that farther mom mazobted by Mr. &will with regard to Dia 'vides= respecting the furroture, and shortly after five o'clock the MO 1M adjourned, the crommandea dos of the wham not having bees completed. fully perjure bawd; and he was hewed to that he believed all she had mud. lie Sued defendant 90a. and coati, which were Is.

Sir Robert Carden said ha, too, was of opinion that there was perjury somewhere. CLERKED WELL Robert Smith, aged 64, • lodging•hosse keeper and the proprietor of the " Thieves' &Helm," Fallwood'nrents, Holborn, was charged before Mr. D'Eyamittrt with making • daturbance in the polioreourt, and also with violently assaulting Police-constable Jams, Castell, 129 F, in the prosecution of his duty. On Wednesday the prisoner attended at the court as • witness against two po ice-eargeanta, who were charged with smaulting • man in his house. Witnesses were called, who stated that the prisoner's house was known as the "Thieves' Kitchen ;' that it was the newt of desperate charmers; that several of them had been eppreheoded in it ; and that the prisoner himself was • abort time since taken into cus tody on scheme of reesiving stolen property, well knowing that it was stolen. This seemed to very mush annoy the prisoner ; and be raved and swore in a most desperate manner, and when told to desist he refused. As he pre vented the business of the omit from going on Hr. D'Eyoconrt ordered him to be removed. Police-constable Casten, 129 F, rid he was called upon to assist in removing the primmer from the court. He was making • great disturbance, and be no sooner took hold of him than the prisoner struck him • violent blow in the face. He abio pulled his hair, and mused him gnat pain. TOO prisoner's conduct lON very disorderly, and he was obliged to get other sasistance to take him to the polio,- station. foilee-constable Christopher Bloomfield, 153 E, said that be saw the primmer strike the previous witness, and had he not been seised, he would have struck the other persons that were maw& . . --- Th;Pri;onerraid that he wee very marry, but he wee excited at the time, or he should not hen acted ae he had. He wee an old man, and he hoped the magistrate would deal lightly with him. Mr. D'Eyncourt said he could act allow condables to be struck whilst obeying his radon to keep the court orderly. He should fine the defendant 20ai or in default of merest 14 days imprisonment in the Home of Correction. The fine was then paid. Mr. Cleave DelafornTikreajb;ci, of the Army and Navy Club, Pall.mall, was charged before Mr. Arnold with being drunk and riotous, and assaulting PoWomack Gale, B ▪ in the execution of his duty. The constable stated that about 0110 o'clock that morning he was on duty in Knightsbridge, when he saw the pm. soner, who had been turned out of the Sun Tavern, knocking violently at the door of it.

He said they bad turned him out, and wanted to know what be bad done that he should be turned out.

He then became very violent, and said, " You don't know who I am—l san • captain in the army." He read* use of very bad lan guage, and brandished a stick about threatening to strike him with it.

Margaret Moceray, a sled. elderly female, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Borchers, charged with stealing an umbrella, value se„ the property of Mr. Win. Smith.

At the time he left the primmer was standing at the bar drinking with another women., and on hie return. after Manacling his business, he maw the prisoner come oat of the tavern and run away at the top of her speed, On joining his sister he immediately missed his umbrella, and at once went in pursuit of the prisoner, whom he over took in Lantstreet, and stopped her with the stolen article in her possession. The prisoner declared that she bad no intention of 'tailing the umbrella, but bad taken it not knowing to whom it belonged. She begged for mercy, for the sake of her five children, the youngest of whom was only sit weeks old. Kr. Benham asked the prisoner if she would hare the one wet to the serious, or that he should dispose of it The prisoner begged to have it settled here, and entreated triefyy. as this was her grit offence. . . Mr . ..Bureliam told the prisoner she bad been guilty of a most impudent robbery, of which he coevicted her sad sentenced her to towhee days' imprisonment with hard labour in the House of Correction.

ALLEGED FRAUDS BY A RELIEF COMMITTEE- ; MAN AT MANCHESTER. Yesterday William Stolt, a joiner and packing eg c business at the Globe Works, Konyoe-street, Marieheder, and a member of one of the load relief committees (St. Michael's), was charged before the city magistrates with basing during the last nine months systematically defrauded the COMMltbel by apply* the (nods placed at its disposal to the payment of his own workpeople and otherwiee in an improper manner. Mr. Gibbet!, who appeared for the promentien, stated that the prisoner was • member of the Relief Committee of St. Michael's district. It wee the practice of the committee to distribute relief by cheques, each representing a certain amount of money, to persons in distrus, which they were enabled to get exchanged for provisions at Tutees shops in the locality. The reenter had represented that the com mittee had deputed him to obtain a large quantity of pro- visions for a c las s of recipients who would teal hurt by going ioto the shops themselves to present their tickets, and under this pretence be had taken as much u 31. worth of tickets to a shopkeeper at a time. To one shopkeeper he had promoted this amount co two cocasiens and obtained provisions for them. He led also obtained butcher's meat and each, of Sour in this mapper. Some men in hi employ had obtained provisions by pmentiog sat tickets, which there was reason to believe had been given them in part payment of their wages ; and a few weeks ago when it was announced that the committee's operations were about to came the prisoner took • large number of cheques to several shopkeepers, stating that the committee were desirous of having &quantity of provisions sent in to them immediately, as they intended distributing them from the committee-room through their clerk. Mr. Jordan, banister, who appeared for the prisoner, contended that there was se eme. He said the committee had sent round printed rules to the shopkeepers at the com mencement, and one of these rules cautioned shopkeepers against supplying or cash* any cheques salmi the persons presenting then: should also present aide booed for the purpose by the committee, at the same time bearing the person's name and address ; and upon this pound, the shopkeepers knowing they were breaking tee rule them selves, a charge of obtaining goods under false pretences could not by sustained against the prisoner. Another ground of defence was, that the prisoner being • member of the committee himself wan only dealing with that of which he was legally possessed, and could not be convicted of stealing cheques which he himself was • party to the distributing of. Mr. Jordan ckueted cases in support of his arguments. The case occupied the court • considerable tints. The magistrates ultimately committed the prisoner for trial at the siesions, but admitted him to bail meantime on finding two sureties of 1501. each, and on entering into hie own recoguilanam to the mount of 3001. KENT COAST RAILWAY. The half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this oompaoy was held yesterday at the Victoria Station. The CIWILWAN, in moving the adoption of the report, which has already been published, said it was a most satis factory document, inasmuch as it showed that there had been an increase in the traffic during the past half-year over the oorreepoodicg portion of the previous year to the amount of 4024 This in awl, did not appear a large amount, but it was most important, as it bndsd to show that their line was pr eriog favourably. The statics at Herne Bay was sot oe a most desirable site, but the amount of traffic, to that plane, isereasieg sail bed does during the past year, proved, as he had aeticipaled, that these Bay would eveataelly be ate of the most important sietione oa their rim. The line would be opened to !baps, on the ?ad September, as originally contemplated, but he was sorry to say it would not be carried through to Bassegste until about a moth afterwards, at which time their lease with this Leedom, Chatham. and Dover Dempsey would come into fall operation. It was a matter of great import. ance that the line should be opened speedily, as it would enable them to obtain a large portico of the up traffic of this season. Mr. JUIIIILVG asked whether it was the isteatiou of the board to use for continental traffic the London, Chatham, sad Dover Company's eteamboate which were sow lying idle. The Cesnmse—That matter bas been and is still under the serious consideratica of the directors. MT. Jmernita then wished to know whether any traffic arrangements would be entered into with the South Eastern Railway Company. He thought that when their line wee complete it would be quite strong enough to stand upon its own foundation. Mr. Bottom—No each arrangement has at present ham mitered into.

Two of the inmates, Martha Case, aged 82 years, sad Plicebe Biggs, aged 78, occupied • house at Putney Lowernomsnoe ; the latter who was very infirm, lived is the lower room, and the former, who was also infirm, but sot so bad as the other. In the upstairs room Is consomme* of the great infirmity of Biggs, the parochial authorities employed the primmer from the Wandsworth Union to attend upon her, paying her at the rate of ha. weekly. She entered on her duties on Saturday, the Bth instant, and during the following week Mrs. Case mimed a halfoovereign from her drawer, and at the commencement of the second week she missed soother half-sovereign, being all the money she possessed. The prisoner was in the baba of taking water upstairs for Mrs. Case, and bad the opportunity of going into her room during her temporary absence.

A considerable quantity of wool has changed hands during the past week, at somewhat enhanced rates. Spinners, having booked not a few orders for yarns, have been anxious to cover themselves, and have not hesitated to pay prices which were hardly made last weak, or even sane times an advance upon them. Wool, indeed, is worth fully Id. per lb. more than it was last week. Staplers allege that the wool left in the country has experienced a grater advance than this, and that the prices asked are most exorbitant. Both Down wools and lustre wools, having quality, have shared in the improved demand. The activity and firming§ in the wool market are exceeded in the wonted yarn department. Quite an excited feeling prongs, with the utmost stiffness ea to price. The export houses, for some time inactive, have to-day given the prices asked, and during the week placed considerable orders for Ws and 36's. Spinners are conse quently to-day full of orders, end quotations are higher. The pries of the leans spinners of 30's is lne. per gross. A little has been done in Mrs. Little, however, is doing for Ramie, and the trade for that quarter has leas been unusually quiet. Twofold., are still inquired for, and are very firm, The movement, such as it is, in the Liverpool cotton market, ; daring the last few days, with a reported rise of ld. per lb., has not been without effect upon our market. The aggre gate business has been much more considerable than foe some time past, and the activity decidedly more gene ral. Though the chief impulse may have bees given to the demand by the upward movement in the raw material, the bushing doing is legitimate, and transactions are not marked by that speculation which characterised them about the same time last year. Manufacturers of plain fabrics report thin they have been able to clear stocks which had accumulated for some months, and that merchants have renewed contracm which were just running out. Prices maintain their advancing tendency. Orleans, venoms, camleta, serge de bent, lastings, merinos, end many other worsted goods, are slightly higher. Some difference, however, exists amongst the various makers, and couch depends upon the orders already booked, or the stocks still held. LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrngolux, Acovere 27.
