The Express. — London, England, 1847-12-20 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1847 from the burden of maintaining the child, and to avoid exposure, and that ahe did cot contemplate the fatal result of her conduct.—Mr. Wilde, on behalf of the prisoner, urged that it was very possible that a young girl, in the agony of such a situation as she was placed in, might have committed the act imputed to her without being aware of the consequences that might ensue.—The jury found the prisoner Guilty of man■laughter, and she was sentenced to be imprisoned sad kept to hard labour for a year. Hottlelol.—Henry Spicer, 32, broker, was indicted for the manslaughter of Philip Birch. The circumstances of this case will be fresh in the recollection of the public. The parties were in a public•houae with other persons, when the deceased insisted upon fighting with several persons, and seised one man by the throat, and held him till he was nearly black in the face. The prisoner upon this laid hold of a pair of tongs and struck at him, the blow being aimed at his body, but by his suddenly turning ho received it on his heed, and the consequence was that he died men afterwards. The deceased, it appeared, was very drunk at the time, and th occurrence appeared chiefly to have arisen from his own mis conduct. Verdict—Not Guilty. NNW Col2l4T.—llefore the Recorder. iIIOAMY.-BCOTCH M•IMIAGER.—John Redpath, 27, wan indicted for feloniously intermarrying with Sarah Ann Phil pot, his wife being alive—To prove the first marriage, B. Thompson, a tenon-, residing at Ainwick, in Northumber land, was called. and he stated that the prisoner was married to his sister in 183.5, at a place railed Laniberton Toll, a few miles north of Berwick-upon-Tweed, by a person named Gray. At the ceremony, a portion of the church service wan read. After the marriage the prisoner and his wife lived for some time at Berwick, and had several children ; but the prisoner left his wife end family some time ago, and no cite knew what had become of him till thin charge was preferred. In croseexamination, the witness said that " Lumberton Toll " was a toll-gate a short distance within the Scottish territory, and there marriages were celebrated, he believed, according to the custom of Scotland. Witness himself was married at the same place, and by the same person, fifteen years ago. He had to go 30 miles to get to the toll-gate, which he believed was the boundary between England and Scotland, but he was almost certain that it was within Seotland . Some question here anise as to whether this evidence of the marriage having taken place in Scotland was satisfactory, end to be relied upon, Mr. Robinson contending that if the marriage was celebrated in England, according to Scottish law and customs, it was not good.— /be Recorder then put it to the jury, whether they were satisfied that the marriage took place in Scotland . — T he jury said they were—The ease then proceeded, and a policeman produced a document, per. porting to be a copy of the register of the first marriage. The witness stated that he procured this copy from Grsv's I widow at Berwick. When the prisoner was arrested he said his first marriage was not a good one, and that his only wife ! was Sarah Philpot—Sarah Ann Philpot proved that she was married to the prisoner at St. John's, Southwark, on the , 24th November, 184,5. She lived with and had one child by him. She stated the prisoner told her that he had some children by a woman in Northumberland, but he was not married to her. He told her her name, and said he had had correspondence with Ur while he bad been in London.—This was the case for the prosecu tion.—The Recorder decided that the copy of the Scotch register could not be made evidence.—Mr. Robinson, for the defence, said his best point had been obviated by the decisioa the jury had given with respect to the locality of Lamberton, but he should contend that the first was not a valid marriage, on the ground that there was no decisive proof that it took place in Scotland ; and if it took place in England it was not binding according to our law, as it was celebrated according to Scottish law and rites.—The Re corder stopped the learned counsel, and said that in his own private judgment be conceived the first marriage to be good; but he could not take judicial cognisance that each was the case. There was no evidence to show that Gray was an. thorised to celebrate marriages, nor was there any evidence that the marriage war a valid one according to Scotch law Such evidence clearly ought to have been laid before the court, and in its absence the ease against the prisoner could not be sustained. However, the result of this trial would not affect either zr.arriage ; they would amain as the I were. There being no evidence that the marriage which took place at the Lamberton toll-gate was'o,lnding upon the prisoner, the_jurT must find him not guilty.—Verdict accord ingly.—Mr. Robinson said be believed these toll-gate cere monies were but Gretna-green marriages; what was worse, "broomstick" ones.—The Recorder said he consi dered it a good marriage according to Scotch custom, but there was no evidence of it. THE CARD-PLATING CHEATLL-Mr. Prendergast applied that Brewer, whose health had suffered since his imprison• ment, and Ralph', his fellow•prisoner, might be removed from the department of the prison they were now confined in, to the one allotted to first-class misdemeanants.—The Recorder said he had inquired of Mr. Cope, the governor of the prison, and felt justified in ordering the application to be complied with. men, among whom wee Whitchureh, who jumped on his chest. West laid hold of his handkerchief and tried to choke him. Wear also pushed his knee against his (complainant's) stomach several times. Cotoplament was taken to the ra tion-house, and charged with being a bad character, but was set at liberty.— It. Phillips said he sow Hoile striking the complainant, and kneeling on his chest. Interfered tope. vent further ill-usage, and was put out of the shop by Whit church.—Mary Wood, mother of the complaisant, said see had given her son leave to go into the howes.—The defence of the police was, that they had been requested by Hales to protect him against the violent conduct of the complaisant. The complainant was a man of indifferent character, and frequently drunk. Ile had pot by force into the house in West- treat, though the landlord had padlocked the deur and when requested to leave be struck the landlord. It was denied that any more violence was used than necessary to overcome the complainant's violent drunken resistence, and to procure his ejectment from the house.—J. Eales said he was landl rd of the house. The complainant's mother wa+ in arrears of rent, and be had taken possession cif the pre. mists, and padlocked the door. The complainant, who had BO right to be on the premises, forced his way into the house, and would not go out when requested. Wittier* was as saulted by the complainant, and app:ied for assistance to the police, who did not use improper vio'ence.—J. Brunetti said he went into the house in We et-street, and sew West holding complainant. Hoile was on the ground, as if he had been thrown down. Complainant au very violent, end the constables acted with great forbearance.—Mr. Birgham was of opinion that the constables had done no more than their duty, and the case was dismissed. BENEVOLENCE.—The Goldsmiths' Company sent thoir an nual donation of 101., to be placed in the poor-box for the relief of deserving poor. WESTMINSTER.—THREATINSNO TO eIIOOT LORD GEORGIC BENTINCIL—TL WOOMO was charged with threat ening to shoot Lord George Bentinek.—H. Lockyer, 90 C, said, at about hallepast seven last evening I was ea duty at the House of Commons, when I saw the prisoner standing near the members' entrance. He said " I want you to point not Lord George Bentinck and I will give you half a crown." He mid that he wanted to shoot him, and I took him into custody. He said his reason was that Lord George was opposing Lord John's measures. He said they had taken the razors away from him last night, and he had 111111 , brought out a pair of scissors, which I found on Lim. He said Lord George was • gambling scoundrel. He aided, that he had been in the parks two or three days, for the pur pose of seeing her Majesty, to tell her that Lord George was opposing Lord John's measures. I bad the prisoner in custody four years ego, for exclaiming spinet Sir Robert Peel. He said he wanted to shoot him. He told me! he was two yearn in prison for it.—Robert Bray, 21 A, said— When the prisoner was brought to the station he told me that he thought by that time it would have been all over. He had brought half-a-crown with him for • cab, and had he pinned Lord George, be should have driven cs fast as he could to Kingsborough reservoir, as it was very deep and would save expoenre. He said there must be a sacrifice made to rid the country of such a scoundrel.-11 Weetham said on Thursday evening the prisoner came into his shop to be shaved, and said he was going to shoot Lord Bentinek. I told a policemen, and gave a de serlption of the prisoner.—Pri soner, in defence, said he did not mean to do any harm, and had no ill-feeling towards Lord George. Prisoner's head had been fractured a abort time before, and it affected his brain. —Mr. Burrell committed the prisoner, and desired the clerk to express upon the commitment, for the information of the authorities of the prison, his impression that the prisoner was deranged. LAMBETH.—Tess MINT SOLICITOBB AND THE SMASH ERO.—There were three " smashing " cases to bo heard at this office ; two of them bad been remanded from a former day, and the third was a new ease. The witnesses were ell in attendance, and when the cases were called a policem an stated that he had been to the office of Me. Powell, the soli citor to the Mint, and was told there that Mr. Powell was in Liverpool, and that if no person from his office wu in court by half-past 12 the magistrate might not expect his,, but deal with the prisoners as he thought proper.—Mr. Norton remarked that it was high time that some change was made in reference to the prosecutions for passing counterfeit coin. The witnesses in the cues were in attendance, some of them for the second time, and it was very eztraordinery that as Mr. Powell himself was out of town some person belonging to his office was not in attendance to bear the evidence. Two of the prisoners wire discharged, there being no proof of a second utterance, and the third was remanded. Tunzarenee FARES.—The driver of a Peckham omni bus was charged with detaining a basket belonging to • lady. The complainant had gone in the defendant's omni bus from the Elephant and Castle to High-street, Peckham, and having gone a few yards beyond the point at which the tbreepenay fares cease defendant insisted on being ;mid sixpence, and kept her basket.--Mr. Norton fined him du. THAMES.—GAMBLING IN A BEER•OHOP.-- IV. T. Brooks, landlord of the Cooper's Block, beer.shop, Bedford street, Poplar, was charged with having kept • public baga telle-board, without being duly licensed, whereby he had incurred a penalty not exceeding 101. ; a second information charged the defendant with wilfulle allowing and encourag ing card-playing and gambling is his house, whereby he had incurred a penalty not exceeding 61. The defendant ob- Lined a license as beer-shop keeper at the above house, and, as the informers and their witnesses distinctly swore and maintained, compelled all the men in the employ of Mr. Emery, a cooper, to whom the defendant is foreman, to fre quent his beer-shop, where card and bagatelle playing was carried on to a great extent; those who would not ploy soon found themselves discharged from their emplonment. One of the witnesses declared that the sums of money ovinpt be the different men in Mr. Emery's employ, at the beer-shop, were every week deducted from their wages.—Mr. Bali• 111- tine commented in strong language on this kind of truck system. In each case he should fine him is the sum of 40s. and oats, or 41. 45. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY BYRN WO. There have been remarkably few transactions in the; funds to-day ; nevertheless prices had a down ward tendency, and Consols were lower by about 1 per cent. than yesterday. They remained all day without a variation at 84? to 5 for the opening. But for the near approach of dividend day, it may be doubted whether even these rates would be supported. It is usually the case that some few weeks before the payment of dividends Consols bear a higher quota tion, through'the purchases of dealers, who lay in stock beforehand is answer the anticipated demands for in vestment of recipients of dividends desirous to re-incest. Although little business of the kind, and with the same intent, is done at present, it may be observed that prices are kept up in some degree by the well known fact, that a considerable amount of dividend mosey, such as trust and public companies' funds must still come forward for re-investment. Reduced Threes were 841 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 86 to 1. Bank Stock, 1861 to 81. Long Annuities, 8 9-18. Exchequer Bills, is. to 10s. pm. India Bonds, 188. to 13s. discount. In foreignstoclui the dealings have been extremely scarce. Mexican were quoted 17i to 18. Span 's& Fives, 171 to without business done ; the 'Threes, 29 to Portuguese, 22 to 3. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., nominally 55 to ; the Fours, 84 to 5. Russian were done at 107 f, and may be called in advance at 106 to 8. It is understood that a private meeting of the cre ditors of Messrs. Coates, Hillard, and Co., American merchants, was convened to-day, to receive a propo sition of adjustment, the nature of which did not transpire ; but it was understood not to be acceptable to many of those present or not present. The more public meeting does not take place for some days. From the course which money affairs are taking on all the great exchanges of the Continent, as well as in the United States, it may be doubtful whether the directors of the Bank of England will be in any hags to reduce the present minimum rate of discount, clew as it may be that with money in good supply among the other banks and discount houses, and with the rates lower by and per cent. for first-class paper, the Bank by persistence in its present high and re strictive charge must necessarily incur the sacrifice of a considerable proportion of its banking business until an equality of conditions comes to be re-established. With money commanding from 12 to 18 per cent. upon the most respectable bills in New York, and, what is perhaps of more significance still, as much in the generally conceived more solid and sober business city of Boston, it is evident that capital—the capital of American houseshere at least—will be shortly outflow ingtotheUnited States for participation in such highly remunerating forms of investment. Even treasury notes equivalent to our Exchequer Bills were at 7 per cent. discount, although unlike our Exchequer Bills now, and in so far a more readily available security, they are payable for customs dues as cash, and the mer chant therefore purchasing at the discount is so much the gainer on passing his goods through the Custom house. But no more unmistakeable sign of the money penury and pressure existing there could be adduced than the fact that a security representing, and so easily convertible into, cash payments should still be subject to such an extraordinary depreciation. 1 evident explanation is the extreme scarcity of money, and the so much greater value accommodation com manded on other securities of, perhaps, in some cases intrinsically not inferior worth, but not with egad facilities for convertibility. These high rates of money in the United Staten must necessarily prove pro Canto an impediment to the disposal of imported commodities, and to imports gene rally. At the .'-ne -- where capital, b, be paid for it, nor who was to be paid. I have burnt most the letters between her and me; those that were preserved were so by accident. She wrote from London to say she knew a director, through a school companion, who could get the appointment, and she expected it in a week or two. I did not after that ask her to return the money. I did in. tend to apply for an account of the money when I found the appointment was gretuitom and my son had gone but she hod gone to France, and I could not find her. This was after my son had got his appointment. I heard of this iibout February. My son was appointed in November or the beginning of December. She sent something from France to the value of about 201., to Mrs. Wotherspoon. I understood she was at Boulogne, but before I could apply I wire told she had gone. I signed the declaration "on honour" that I had pot the recommendation gratuitously. I did not read the " general caution " against purchase or agreement to purchase, which is in red ink just before the declaration. I have been a professional man 27 years. I igristl the parent or guardian's certificate. I did not read lone word of it. (It says that the nomination was received gratuitously, and that nothing was to be paid thereafter.) The mason was, it was not five minutes in my poseesaion. I got it st four o'clock in the afternoon. I sent my clerk to get the certificates. He came back about nine. I filled it up hasriiy, and sent it off by the poet at 10. The 1,8001. be tween me and Mrs. Stewart may 'waffled anything. I gave her the money to use legally. I did not know it was wrong ; but I did not give the miney for purchase in the East India Company's service; it was in the Queen's service I wanted it. I was astonished at tke act of parliament when I saw it mentioned in the printed form subsequenUy sent to me. I have, as neer es I can, mentioned all that passed when Charretie called on ire. I don't believe he said that the rumour was that I had bought the cadetship for my son. He may have said something about it. filie first intimation of this was in one of the letters. He told me that there was some aspersion on me, but be did sot say bow it arose. I was very short with him, and wanted to have nothing to do with him. I don't think he advised me not to deny that I had mode this purchase. This meeting tested about half an hour. I d nit think he asked whether I had paid the money. I lave not bad a promise from the East India Company that my eon shall nut cuff r by thus transaction. No human being has told me N.ithing else took place personally until I came to London. I had a cwamuniestion with Charretie on the next day. I was ex sniped at the India-house. The ex amination was taken down in writing. I have net seen it since. There were not above six or eight letters between me j and Mrs. Stewart on this subject: (fir Sir Wm. Young) If my son is dismissed I cannot complain. I was examined be fore the committee on the 22nd of October. I went to Mr. Melville's *hen I left Sir Wm.. Young. The examination was not that dug. I thick it was the neat cloy, or the Thursday. I was not with Mr. Melville two minutes. William White Wutherepoon—l am son of the last wit-' net, and an officer in the East India Company's service. I am home on sick leave. I was in London in Nov., 1844. I i went to Rhodes's Hotel. I saw Mn. Stewart there. I was acquainted with her before. I was introduced to Hallett by Mn. Stewart at the betel. I went with him to Austin- 1 friars to see Sir William Young. It was the office of the Asturias Mining Company. I went with Sir William Young to the India House and got my papers. Ido not know Captain Chattels The case was then adjourned to Monday (this day) : in consequence of this adjournment, and the probable length of the intervening cause, it is unlikely that the case of j " Bunn o. Lind " will be tried. ARCHES COURT. BeforePir H. J. Fust Gems Jenner resumed his arnament on behalf of Mr. °ells. Several letters, he observed, had been read by Dr. Addams in the course of his speech, and he was anxious to know what use it was intended to make of them. Their introduction might have been justifiable with a view of testing the witnesses, but he maintained that they could not be received as evidence of the statements con tained in them.— The learned Juditle said that an objection not having bees taken to them in the first instance, the only course that could be pursued was for the learned counsel to argue that although they might be evidence for some purposes, yet they were not evidence for others—Dr. Jenner intended to treat them in that light. lie submitted that notwithstanding what bad been said on the other side as to the attachment subsisting between Mrs. Gals and her mother, Mrs. Dickenson, the evidence showed that the latter had been desired by the former to quit Dams buck, in consequence of the unhappiness which she occa- Wooed between Mr. and Mrs. Geils, and that it was to the great surprise of the family that Mrs. Dickinson left. With regard to Mr. Galls using abusive language towards his wife, he (Dr. Jenner) did not mean to justify or excuse it; but Mr. Geds bad sworn that they were unmeaning expressions, that they had always been se treated and considered by his wife, and the smut was bound to consider them in that cha racter. When the case was before the Judicial Commit. tee, Lord Brougham had observed that the avoidance of Mr. Gelb must be taken as well as his confession respecting the use of language of this description. If the scene repre sented to have taken place in the library at Dumbuck, when the shelf was torn from its place, were true, bow was it that Mrs. Dickinson, who was present, did not immediately inter pose ? It was evident that Mrs. Dickinson did not anticipate ally danger and • few days afterwards Mrs. Geils accom panied hi r'husband to a ball. The letters written by Mrs. arils proved that she was not under apprehension of personal violence. The behaviour of Mrs. (dells towards her hus band'a relations bad bees of a very aggravating nature. She was frequently teasing her husband, who was not blessed with • good temper, and these circumstances, combined with his ill health, led to quarreh between them. It was Impos sible, however, not to see that whatever had taken place, there had been condonation over and over again. There was no cruelty which could entitle Mrs. Geils to a separation on that ground. Was she entitled to it on the ground of adultery ? The learned counsel then proceeded with great minuteness through the evidence bearing on thou charges, and contended that the discrepancies between the statements of the witnesses were so palpable, that it was impossible for the court to rely upon them. A part:imps crimiais who had been examined was contradicted by several of the witnesses on many points on which they had been produced to confirm her testimony. It was • remarkable fact that a person named Webb, who had lived in the ser vice of Mrs. Chile father, but had been discharged by Mrs. Dickinson for impropriety of conduct, had since been em ployed by her to get up the evidence in this CV!, and had actually brought some of the witnesses to London to be exa mined. A man who had been adduced to prove one of the alleged acts of adultery had been taken to the house of Mrs. Dickinson, and had been examined by her in the presence of Mrs. Gads as to asserted facts of a character that did not speak favourably of the delicacy of ladies who could enter en such an investigation.—The learned judge having intimated that he would sit on Monday to hear the conclusion of Dr. Jenner's arguments, Dr. Addams inquired whether the court intended to rue for the vacation before the entire case sou concluded ?—The learned Judge said that he could not sit after Monday next.—Dr. Addams then complained with great warmth of the injustice which would be done to his client, and entered his protest against it. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before Mr. Commimbeer Harris. Ix RR JAMES MILLER.—DOSS SLANDER PUT A PARTY OUT or THE ACT t- -A Mr. Johnstone opposed this insolvent for coats obtained in an action for slander. The action was brought by the insolvent against Johnstone, but a plea of justification being made, the verdict went against costs the plaintiff. The cos amounted to 6 5 1.—Mr. Nichol - con tended that the court could not name a day for the final or der, so by the new act any judgment fur slender put a party out of the act. Under the old act, the complainants were the plaintiffs, but it was clear that defeodan's, who now ob tained judgments, could complain.—The Commissioner said he should wish to consult his learned brothers on the point, as it was one of some importance; and adjourned the case, with protection, to January next. Before Mr. Commisnioner PRETENDED VEXATIOUS DEFENCE. The insolvent —• general in the army—whose case has been before reported—came up for abjudication. The opposition 'rector • vexatious defence, and for contracting a debt dishonestly. The insolvent had been the victim of money lenders. The opposition failed, and Mr. Law ordered the general to be immediately discharged ; at the saute time observing that the money lenders' debts would be strictly inquired iato before • dividend was paid. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—SATIAIDar. A commission de lunatico inquirendo was opened in the beard-room of Bethlem Hospital, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow, relative to the state of mind of Mrs. Fanny Gun yon, aged 62, widow of a gentleman connected with the Anglo-Mexican Mint Company. The commission, which was unopposed, was taken out by a brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas Liunyon, of Warren's Hotel, Regent-street. From the evidence of Sir A. Morison, physician to the hospital, and other witnesses, it appeared that Mrs. Ours e n ' s husband died en the 30th of December, 1844, after which, as early 'as the 10th of February following, while residing at Clapham, she began to throw her things about in disorder and said eh* had by her misconduct and neglect mused her husband's death (though she was known to have acted otherwise). She was constantly crying out that her hildren (a boy and a girl) would be murdered. She attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself, into a pond at Clapham, and became so unmanageable as to , render it necessary, on the 13th of March, 1845, to convey her to Cowper-house, Brompton, when she became worse ; but since her removal to liPthlem she had been more calm. At Cowper-house she imagined her husband's relations had con fined her to rob her of her property, and had there thrice attempted to commit suicide. The remaining testimony tended to show that she was still under similar delu sions. This was confirmed by her conduct when introduced to the jury. She constantly expressed a desire to go home to her children, said she ha d always paid her way, and never did any harm, but admitted the attempted suicide, assigning as a reason that she was " jacketed " in Cowper-house. She occasionally complained that Mr. Nichols, the governor of Betblem, and other gentlemen in the room, were laughing at her, and once said, " You seem to have brought Doctors' Commons, the Lord Chancellor, and all to laugh at me." She thought " the whole world was at an end," when her husband died.—On her retirement the jury expressed them selves satisfied, and returned a verdict dating the unsound- 1 ness of mind from Muck IS, 1846. POLICE.- SATURDAY. GUILDHALL.—IMPORTANT QUESTION TO DEPOSITORS IN BUILDING BOCIETIES.-11. Brookes, manager and trea surer of the British Building Society, was summoned at the instance of D. Clifford, to show cause why the society re fused to repay money deposited by him with the society, as the holder of a share. The complainant made application for withdrawal, in writing, on the 7th of August, and on the 18th of October received a reply from the secretary., stating that there were then 213 applications before the board for withdrawals, and that the complainant's name would toe placed on the list, end he would be entitled to be paid in rotation. The complainant was dissatisfied with that letter, and sent a notice to the defendant, requiring that his case should be submitted to arbitration, but the defendant refused to receive it because he had not strictly I complied with the rules. Complainant said he was al poor man, and was desirous of leaving London, end required the 121. which he had deposited with the so-1 mety.—Mr. Serjeant C. Jones, who appeared on behalf of the society, objected that the complainant had no locus standi before the magistrate, not having complied with the rules of the society, which required, that before any share holder should be entitled to withdraw his share, one month's notice should be given to the secretary thereof, and in the case of more than one person applying, then, that the per eons so applying should be paid in rotation, as the funds of the society would permit, and also, that in all cues of dispute, application must be made to the board, and then a notice of demand, submitting • claim to arbitration should be served, the rule providing that any person so demanding arbitration should, at the time of making such demand, deposit the sum of 15s. The complainant, in this ease, had not complied with these rules, and as he had chosen to stand on his legal rights, the society were entitled and bound to do the 'same, representing as it did *large body of shariholders, and there being at the present time 130 shareholders who took prece dence of the complainant —Aid. Copeland said he and his brother aldermen felt strongly impressed with the injustice that had been pursued towards the complainant, and con• demned the conduct of the manager in not laying the notice of arbitration before the board ; technical objections had been made which they were bound to admit, and the sum mons must be discharged, but they should take care the mat ter was taken up by the City solicitor, and proceeded with legally on behalf of the poor complainant. BOW-STREET.---ROBBERT IT • SOLDIER.—J.Saterey, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was charged with stealing a silver watch.—Mr. R. Jones stated that about four o'clock in the morning he was going down Holborn, perfectly sober, when, at the Middle-row, the prisoner, who was intoxicated, accosted him, and said he would accompany him home ; he continued to walk beside him, and suddenly snatched at his guard chain which he broke, pulling the watch from his pocket. Witness took the watch from him, and gave him into custody.—Constable 57 E proved having seen the prose cutor and prisoner walking together hand in hand, and hear ing the alarm, he took charge of the prisoner, who said he was merely pushing the prosecutor from him and the guard snapped asunder, hut he never touched the'watch.—The pri soner said in hie defence that the prosecutor assaulted him, and while he was resisting, the chain broke, but he never saw the watch. He was fully committed. WORSHIP-STREET.—PoLica TEETIIIONT.—J. Doyle was re-examined, charged with assaultiag the police. At the former examination 1). Bryan, K 154, deposed that, while on duty in Mile-end New -town, he otserved the prisoner conducting himself in a riotous and disorderly man ner, and, on requesting him to go quietly home, he assailed him: with a volley of abuse, and struck him two violent blows in the face. The prisoner then retreated down en adjoining street, but was purseed and overtaken by witness, who proem. d the assistance of a private watchman, and, after a protracted resistance, be war con veyed to the station-house.—Layal, the watchman, and pi). lim-constabie B 146, stated, that they found the policeman struggling on the ground with the prisoner, and saw the wife of the latter seize the constable by the hair, and endeivour to rescue her husband ; neither of the witnesses was present at the commencement of the affray.--In answer to the charge, the prisoner positively denied having assaulted the constable, who, he alleged, had interfered with him in the first instance, without the slightest provocation, and subse quently subjected him to the most brutal violence.— Sarah Ball, residing next door to the pris at a. now stated that on the night in question she iw the prisoner approach hit own door, at which he kn is a and commenced singing. The constable ordered him' a 'pe remptory manner, to "hold that noise." The pr i,c c i made some reply, which did not reach her, upon which the police man instantly seized him by the collar forced him down the steps, and commenced dragging hi m violently along the street. After proceeding a short distance, a struggle took place between them, in which they both fell, and the police man, who was uppermost, held prisoner down by the throat, and repeatedly dashed his head against the stones. Many permeate were attracted by the uproar, and loudly expressed their indignation at the conduct of the constable, but he still retained his hold of the prisoner until the arrival of the pri vate watchman, when the prisoner was forcibly removed. Two other women corroborated the evidence of the last wit new in every particular, and described the conduct of the policeman as having exhibited a degree of wanton and un warrantable violence throughout.—Mr. Arnold said the charge against defendant had not been sustained, and he was discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Ctisstoa or ASSAI'LT AGAINST THREE POLICEMEN. —J. Hoik, F 95, T. 117t,t -ceUerch, F 42, and I. Wen, C 56, were charged with anomie. The complainant, J.

I have written to her abroad, and had letters from her in answer. Lord Denman It will not do. At the utmost it is a state ment by her. There is no evidence of a reasonable inquiry where she is. Mr. Wothervpooa re-called: This is Mrs. Stewart's letter. I received It about the time it bears date. Mr. Crowder objected to its reception. Mr. Kirby : I am clerk to Messrs. Jones Loyd sad Co. I cashed this draft on the 26th of Jane, 1844. I paid the money to Mr. Routh. It was paid in one 6001., 17,615.

Mr. Routh : I got thi s order cashed by direraions of Mrs. Stewart. I gave the identical money to her in ten minutes afterwards. Mr. Bawtrey produce notes from the Bank of England. They were the same with those mentioned by Mr. Kirby. Mr. Lovett : I am clerk to Merits. Stone and Martin, bankers. Captain Charretie keeps an account with them. These notes are for 6001. sad 1001. The words " Captain Charretie," on the back, are in the handwriting of Mr. Cole, one of our clerks. On the 24th of June, 1844, that 6001. was carried to his arimunt. The 3001. also on the 27th of June, l 1844.--Cross-ermined : I think the monies were paid in by Captain Charretie. About that time he had considerable transactions in business. It is usual to write the customer's name on the back of the notes paid in on his account. A letter of Mrs. Stewart's to Mr. Wotherspoon was read. Mr. Crowder objected to the admission of evidence of any acts of Mrs. Stewart. The notes bad not been traced to the personal possesdon of Captain Charretie, and no evidence had been given of his connexion with Mrs. Stewart. The Attorn.y-General contended that the possession of the banker, on the following day, was suffisient. Lord Denman thought the evidence inadmissible. Tho examination of Capt. Charretie before the committee was then read. The material parts were these know Wotherspoon; I have known him ter a yearend a half by re port ; about a month personally. I was asked to mast in getting a cadetship for his son. Trotter asked me to get it. I had known Mr. Trotter 14 years. He asked me to get a cadetship for a friend of hie. By him I was introduced to Eaten about three weeks before this. On his request I asked Sir Win. Young for the appointment for Wother spoon. He first said I should have it, and afterwards he arida to me • note. I may possibly have given the note to Mr. Wotherspoon. I can't declare whether I gave it to him or some one else for him. I have no recollection of having verbally recommended Mr. Wotherspoon to write familiarly to 8;r %Vera Yonne. I went to Edinburgh, because I heard it reported that Wotherspoon's cadetship bad been paid for. 1 got the cadetship for Trotter. I presumed I was serving Trotter by serving his friend. I acknowledge my error in saying that Mr. Wotherspoon was my friend. I asked Wotherepoon to soy . that he bad been written to in Glasgow by Sir Wm. Young to 1842, in order to make a better reason for wising the appointment. I had no motive for fixing the particular dates. Whatever notes have been paid to my ac count, all my affairs are aboveboard. I have nothing to explain about any money that has gone into my banker's,ex cept that I have given value for it. I can't say why . par ticular notes have been paid in. So many notes are paid in, that I cannot tell after a lapse of time. Mr. Gliddon recalled Capt. Charretie was under exami nation the first time about two hours and a half. I write 40 pages during the hour. Sir Wm. Young's examination did not proceed so rapidly. The questions were not put rapidly in either case. Mr. Trotter : I know Rallett. I believe he is in Belgium. I know Capt. Charretie. Early in 1844 Hallett applied to me to get a cadetship . I went with Ra'lett to Chimeric. I had asked Charretie before for it. I took Rallett to the Asturias Mining Company. I left them together there. Some weeks aftcr Rallett gave me 501. in five ten-pound notes for my introduction ; he said he considered me entitled to it as he had procured what he required by it. He said nothing about any director. I don't know that I should know the notes again. I don't know to whom I passed them.—Cross examined (for Capt. Charretie) I knew Charretie in Devon shire. We were on intimate terms. We recewed the init. macy in London. Through his aasistance I was appointed secretary to the Ramoneur Society. I applied to him in the early part of 1844. I said it was for the relation of a gen tleman I felt interest in. I said I should introduce the gen tleman. I think it was the next day I introduced Refloat to him. It must hate been early in the year. I got the 601. in June the latter part of that month. I did not tell Charretie I dad received 601. ; be inquired in 1846 if I re ceived any; that was when the investigation took place; but before, I bad given him no information about it. When I introduced Charretie to Hallett, he said he bad known him before. I went before the committee without a pre vious examination by the solicitor. I never was employed by the East India Company. Mr. Cole lam clerk to Stone and Martin. I receired those notes of 5001. and 3001. The name on the back of the 3001. is in my handwriting. I don't know from whom I received it. Mr. Wotherspoon recalled The nomination paper is that which this letter contained. There were pencil mark ings, which I filled up. I sent back the paper to Mrs. Stewart. Sir William Young's name was not to it. I can't my whether it contained another. I received • letter the 3rd of October from Capt. Charretie, of which this is a copy. I enclosed the oripnal in a le tter addressed to Capt. Charred.. I can't my vat I did with the letter. I have no doubt it was put with the other letters to go to the poet office, unless I put it in myself. I kept a copy of the letter in which I enclosed it. This is it, dated Oct. 5. I did not know Captain Charretie's handwriting. On the Bth I got a letter acknowledging that of the sth. Mr. Crowder objected to a copy of the letter of the 3d being read, though the original was not produced by the defendant after notice —Lord Denman received it. It was then proposed to read the letter sent by Mrs. Stewart, enclosing the papers to be filled up. This also was objected to, but received. The letter was read. I received the letter from Mrs. Stewart. It enclosed the papers for filling up. I filled up the blanks ; affixed my signature and returned them to Mrs. Stewart. My son had been sent to London before, accompanied by his mother. I had no com munication on the subject of sending my son, except from Mrs. Stewart. He did not return to Edinburgh. I was in formed that it was obtained a day or two aft rwards. From that time to the beginning of September, 1846, I heard nothing of it. Capt. Charretie called on me about the 3rd, in Edinburgh. I had never heard the name of Cspt.Charreds before. He spoke of my son being in India and going out; be wished me to give him a letter to Sir Wm. Young, ante dated, applying for the appointment. He first wanted me to write it on an old sheet of paper. My recollection is, that he !said some imputation bad been thrown out about its be• ing bought. He said he came by desire of Sir Rm. Young. I don't recollect anymore. He was with me near half-an-hour. He faked me if I had got a letter, which in fact I had not. I got it *few days afterwards. I don't think I answered it. I had never seen Sir Wm. Young, nor had any communication with him, though in the letter he is called " oar mutual friend." He had not entrusted me with business respecting our agent who bad run away. It had not been mentioned. I heard nothing more until I received from him a letter of the 12th of Sept, in the course of the post. (Read.] He had salmi me for Mrs. Stewart's address, but I did not know it, He said her name had been mentioned about some forged document at the India-house. He mentioned Rallett's name, but what he said was quite unintelligible. I wrote a letter on the 16th; it was answered on the 23rd. I sent it In the mama way as all my letters are sent. I wrote to Sir Wm. Young on the 15th of Sept, 1846. That is the first lease I ever addressed to Sir Wm. Young. I wrote it beams Cat Charretie told me it would have the effect of q rumours. He said so when I said I would not =llllal letter. It was answered on the l'ith of September. I wattle on the 24th of September. I posted some letters myself; I can't say I posted this. It went with my other letters, said in the same way. I put it into the usual place, if I did ass put it into the post myself. I have six or seven clerks. I received a letter from Capt. Charretie on the 29th of Septa's. her; I answered it on the 30th, On the 2d of Octoba I wrote to Sir Wm. Young. I received a letter containing certain forma. Mr. Clarke croak-examined by Mr. Cockburn : The cover in the alleged feigned hand is in the handwriting of Sir Wm. Young. To the beet of my belief it is. I have been familiar with his handwriting for many years. The figure 8" 1 thick is his. I never saw him write in a feigned hind. I saw this letter yesterday for the first time. It was produced by the company's solicitor. I don't know hie headwriting except in the nomination of cadets. He hue addressed notes to me respecting his intention to make cer tain appointments. I have had four, or five, or six notes on nominations from him in the course of the year. This letter was first shown to me in connexion with this cause. " Great Steward-street" is very like his handwritings—Re-examined: Edinburgh is spelt " Edinbourgb." Any one can have the form of application on satisfying me that it is for an ex pected appointment. A director can always have it. The letter of Mr. Wotherspoon of the 21 of October wee read. It wised for the printed formula signed by the party recommending. Mr. Wotherspoon —I received the cover enclosing the form. It was that, the handwriting of which has been just spoken to. I went to London, and arrived there on the 19th of October. I sent my card both to Sir Wm. Young and Capt. Charretie. I went to Rhodes's Hotel. Charretie came on the Tuesday morning, before breakfast. He said that he and Sir Wm. Young bad comedown to see me ; that Sir W. Young was at the door, and wished me to confirm at the India-house the story that I bed been Sir William's agent in Scotland in reference to a prosecutionnt a Mr. Gordon; and that I had met him at Glasgow. I said I would not. He went away, came hack, and said Sir William wished to see me. I said I should be glad to see him, but it was of no use to try to induce me to say that. I went to the India House the same day. I asked for Mr. Ms lville • he was engaged. Charretie had said Sir W. Young wanted to see me before I called on Mr. Ms ladle. I asked for Sir W. Young. I did not see him at once, but was called back after I had gone. I went towards the room of Sir W. Young, and in the lobby met a gentleman who said, " I am Sir W. Young." We went to his room. He said, "You know you were my agent in Scotland in reference to Gordon." I said it wee useless to say that ; I could not be induced to assert it ; and wept away. I think he said something about meeting me at Glasgow, and some date, but about that lam not sure. I - had seen Sir W. Young until that day.

WIRIam of commodation is charged higher, so also the values of all public and railway securities decline. This is the case in all the great money markets of the Continent; Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfort, Berlin, and Hamburg are all the same in these respects. The rates of money are on the ascending, the values of public and rail elay securities on th e descending, stale. The • result should be that capital to a certain extent would be withdrawr. from this country for more advantage ous employment abroad, but that the higher values of money here still, as measured by the Bank rate, are the impediment. Lower the Bank rate the money goes out. Should the nitre of money abroad come to' exceed the B ink rate, metallic money must flow out. But so long as the Bank rate remains as at present, and the value of money abroad does not exceed mate rially its present charge, capital can only be exported in specie by paying a dear price for it at the Bank. *ROUSH Ft NIB.

We bad what may be truly described u a very indifferent share market on Saturday, with the tend ency of prices still downwards generally. Eastern Counties, Caledonians, North British, were all in de cline. Speculative business may have something to do with this depression of prices, because it is observed that in real business for investment the decline is by no means so marked. _ __ SHARE LIST.—Los Dos, Him.
