BRADBURY AND ANOTHER.—LIBEL.—AR As ACTION AGAINST .. Pesten." This was an artisan brought by Mosey Mart to recover damages from Messrs.

Chambers, td.C., anal Mr. Hawkins, wets fur the defendants. There were three counts in the declaration, the first charging the publication of a specific libel, 01 which the de fendants pleaded that they had made the publication with- Mit malice, anal had subsequently published au apology, aud had paid 51. into court as damage.. The other too counts eh:trio-al the defendants with publishing au ironical carica ture of the plaintiff, and that the apology was not bona fide, but that it was in reality • continuation of the libel. To both theta could. the atofindans pleaded not guilty. The present action arse out of these eirciamstauere. The plaintiff, who is of the Jewish twrouasion, lead been taken into custody for inciting a young man, named Newbold, to rob Iii. employer, and it will he reeollected that about the same p+riael another Jew, named Barnett, was charged with a similar faience.

It appe that booboo the trial sane comments bad ho n made upon the conduct of the plaintiff its Pan , h, anal it was for those comment: that the present action was brought. The defendant., it app. and, subs equently published an apology, and in the same number there was a humoroate caricature representing a Jew old cluthesman dealing with a little boy outside a paenahroker's shop, and it was contended that the defendant. had made an ironical apology, and published a malicious carica ture with the intention of still further injuring the plaintiff. Mr. Chambeta, in addressing the jury for the defendente, said that, although fads A had now been in existence a great many years and had been read with amusement and delight by million+ during that period, this was the first time the proprietor-'of this talent--al and clever publieation had ever been charged with publishing a malicious libel. They had capered. the follies anal vices of the day, and , had even invaded the domeotie peace of Mr. and lies. Caudle it was true, but no one had ever yet imputed to them a desire to do more than expose, in a witty and funny manner, those vices and follies. No class of the community, from the bight-at to the lowest, had I ceeapeal, when the cinaimstances justified it, the attack of the witty pens of the writers in I'manki and he had no doubt that Laming his own profession, at all evens, many gentlemen had winced a little at the adventure of Mr . Brillrts. (Muth laughter.) The unly object they had in view was to a-Ilssle folly and vier ; and he contended that although in the present inetanee the strict limits of the law might have been exesoltol, yet that the injure, under the eistunstanees, must have been of the nest trifling IIIIICTill- Ti001, anal was amply compensated by the amount that had been paid into court. With roped to the two latter counts, he contended that the caricature did not apply to the plain tiff but to the other man, Barnett : and with regard to the apelogy, ha' submitted that although written in the hums r041. style appropriate to re a ch, yet that it was really and truly an apollety ; anal that upon neither of thesecounts was the plaintiff entitled to daMaBCA. 1 Mr. Baron Parke basing summed up the case, the jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damage% 101., in addition to the 61. paid into court.

Mr. Johnson con duits' the prosecution. None of the prisoners were de fended by counsel. Mr. Johnson, in opening the case to the jury, said it was one which had attracted a good deal of attention, not only in this county hut n the kingdom, on account of the cir cumstances sauna clod with it, anal the daring character of the offence. It we a most fearful thing to see, as would he made clearly to appear by the evidence, a desperate gang of persons banded together to commit the most oh swoon. crimes, moil who, he was afraid, would not even have stopped at the shedding of blood if they had met with any opposition to their proceedings. The cu.se would also exhibit a system of organisation among the parties, • knowledge of the face of the country, and of the habits of persons living in lonely positions, anal a rapidityof commu nication by the different member. of the gang which was really mist surprising and alarming. The learned counsel then proceeded to narrate the facts of the ease, and the fol lowing evidence was 041111UCA11. Jame. Hamilton, who was brought from the gaol in eta tody,eaid: I lived at Christmas last moon Woking Common, in Surrey. I knew all the prisoners at that tame except Carter. Just before Christmas, Ilillyer was at me house, and he went away to a place (-allot Shutter's Mill, in Survey, to fetch Morgan, and I expected a man named John Isaacs to come to my house from Reading. II illyer anal Morgan dial not come back sib was agreed, but Isaacs dial e lllll e, anal on the Monday after Christmas-day we two started to go to Edenbridge, where we expected to meet some other men. We were to meet at • barn near that town, which was about thirty mile% from Woking. During the night we fall in with Janie anal John Smith near Betebworth, and tha y agreed to owrompaatv us OM the errand we were going. We del not find either Brooks or Carter at the barn, but soon afterwards I saw Brooks, anal he took us to a back lane, where we found 'Morgan anal Bilker. Elizabeth Oilier was also tbs., anal she land achild with her. We remained in the learn till the a Wale of the day. This was the 31st December. While I sas in the burn I saw two pistols, one large and the other small. They were both loaded with powder and piece, of lead, which were made fiat by the teeth. It was theta arranged that some of the party should go that night mod rob a house in the neighbourhood, anal Morgan, lliliyer, Carter, John Smith, and IsaAC1. went away fur that purpose. We went away from that place eight or nine mile*, and the others were son meet us at a Wen that night, but they did not route. The next morning we found the five men who had gone away in •ii wood, sitting round • fire, anal I sow a plumeake anal& bottle of wine, and Broalus said that they had broken open a public-house at Old Pie-corner. Ile also said there WAS another rolthery to be 110111.1 that night, and we we-re all to meet at Crawl, Tough Forest about 3 or 4 o'clock that day. We dial all ms t again in the forest, anal we then all prepared maths, and it was stated that at night we were to go and rob a lady's hosts..

Carter, and turielf were sent on to kook about if the place were clear. NBA larneumlie house is about eight miles from the forest, and we laid up when we got there, and it was arranged that when we saw all the light,. out, we were to go buck and join the other men. We did so, and we all got to the Mutes again between 2 anal 3 o'clock is the morning. We went into • little ditch by the side of the plan tation, anal there we took off our coats, waistcoats, and shoes, and put on our masks, anal James Smith went a little way along the road, to see if all was quiet. When I got up to the house I found that the others had forted open the dairy window. awl we then all went into the kitchen, where some of the men put on coats that they found there. I put on • coat and a woman's white apron, and Carter and Brooks each put ern • female's bonnet which they found the-re. We all had our masks on. There were two pairs of stairs leading to the upper apartments. Isaacs, Brooks, John Smith, and me went up oue of the staircases and the other prisoners went up the second one. We immediate)] burst anti one of the bedrooms, and I saw two ladies. I saw only one first, but afterwards I saw two. We all had bludgeons in our timid'. I don't know which of the party had the patois. John Smith gave me • candle to hold, and he then asked one of the ladies to give him the keys of the drawers that were in the room, saying at the same time that he was come after money, and money he would have. The lade then handed him her keys, ant( he west to the drawers anal some be unlocked, and some he burst open, and I saw him take up • pocket-hook with a good many notes in it. The lady told hint that the pocket-book con tained bank notes, anal it was all the money she had in the lions. The prisoner Isaacs then asked for her watch, and she pointed to the side of the room, and said it was there, and Isaacs said it was not, and she told him that if it was not some of his companions must have taken it. Isaac then gave me the pocket-book, and he asked the lady where the silver plate was. She re-plied that it was in the pantry, and I was then lett to gaged the room while the others went down to get the plate. I soon afterwards heard another room burst open and a lady scream out, " Oh dear, oh dear, is that you, Wliii.111I l " I called out, " Yes, ma'am—it is William, there is nothing the matter." The moment I said this, Carter presented Il e istol at me, and was about to tire. when I myself known to him, and he desisted. I then heard the lad say in the room. •• There is 251. and a crooked sixpence." The other men thencontimied to rummage about the house ' and I heard the lady threatened with violence if she made any noise. We then left the house, taking with us some betels, cheese, wine, bread, and other articles of food, and lail Iran quautity of property. We had taken • gun cal from the house. but we threw them both away when we bad got a short distance. We all proceeded to a weed near Crowborough Common, and about a mile from Ow lease of a man named Edwards, when we had left the WIPP Oliver and her child, and we divided the bo ay in din wood. Before we did this, Isaacs, unknown to the ethers, asked me to give him the notes and he said he would ilarair Loa. CIUM10•111 (VIVI twaseramso. r. WFAINIAN AND OTHERS.

The will, it appeared, did not mutant a residuary clause, thus leayisio the 1,500 francs posesool by the tee tabor in France untlispowol of. It was infernal from this' that on instructions for the preparatinn of a will had been I given by Cara. It was said that the priest and Cooke did sot know sef also existence of this property, and that if they had taken inotructiono fur a will, it was unlikely that Carri would not have mentioned it. Their own Wirnevi, Hamilton, hod dilatant to %tan:taint made on the Wednesday by the testator that such instructi .. as had been given. The will had leo•n as coolingly pnonnol, and as Mr. Cooke knew nothing of the 1,sosa franc+ no mention wits mad ,of them is the will. It was enacted ley the New Wills Art, I Vie., e. 2fi, that a residuary clause in a will should hate the effect of owning ercrythiug over which the testator has an abso lute power of diapnoition. It was doubtful, therefore, whether such a elatike would not amount to an exceution of the power ite the deed. This sittlitantly aecountiol for the omission tel such a clause in the will. It lied liton objected ogainat the giosillaith of the. transaction : first, that the power of revocation in the deed woe not unqualified, but was to be miereised ley deed only, and not ley sill ; seeondly, that no refennec to the damsel was made by the will ; and thinlly, that the also marlin Wee,. Laken sway by Cooke. All them objectiom might easily be 111111 , 11•TVII ; fur it was a question whether the re se rvation in a voluntary settlement of • life interest to t h e senior, and a poorer of revocation by will, did not make the shed testamentary, and sosubjeet the gift to legal y duty. Noticing such a Will in a will, afterwards made. wow i (VI Lunt,' have that effect. As to taking the documents away, this was nothing more than a prudent precaution to as oiel any glaciation as to the deed being merely an escrow. 1 es.tsioig a voluntary 'settlement in the hands of she settler had frequently given rise to that question.

Not an atom Of fraud had Leen proved, and a pi esonal motive of profit bud not been attributed to him. Was it to Ix. conic tided that an act perfectly legiti mate when done fur professional profit was to be scouted when undertaken upon higher motirto ? The learned counsel then again tialverted to the manner in which the cut bad liven eouelitettol, and the haste With which the mo tion had loan pressed on. On Feb. 2 some person who hsl contrived to get ponicasion of the bill had thought proper to publish it in extelaso, containing, as it aid, the greowst charges of fraud against the defendants, charges upon which, if true, an indictment might he preferred. The publisher had charitably added that the worst charges were not published. After that, it had been his duty to his chi its to refuse his acquiescence to any order has lag the a b effect of delaying the public discussion of the merits of the ease. Brielly thin the matter stood thus : the plaintiffs alleged by their bill a fraud of the gruasest kind; and they hail attempted to establish the same at the bar. 'Their two only witnesses had been utterly discredited. The principles I of law 'which they had referred to wrrr not strictly appli cable to the- question under discussion. They applied to transaction* beton in parties between whom a fiduciary re lation existed, but they were inapplicable to gifts to • charity. When an intention to give to a chit, iity was established, as it had bees here, the only thing necessary tee give validity to the transaction, was to prove the legal execution of the dent of gift. The policy of permitting the legality of such gifts was not the question for diocusaion here. Since the alteration of the law in favour of catholic charities, there could be no doubt of the legality of such a gift. On these grounds hr submitted that tli • lose of time °cautioned to the court by the present discunion was entirely owing to the pLaiatiffs, and that the motion should be dismissed with costs. Mr. Bagshawc, who was with Mr. Rolt for Mr. Cooke, warmly repudiated on behalf of all Roman catholic', whether layman or priest, the doctrine which had been attributed to them, namely, that in what was considered • good ruse "the end justified the means." Ho was content to adopt, with reference to the present transaction, the language of Mr. Cooke him self " That if one-twentieth part of what was alleged opting the parties to that transaction, by the bill, were true, they all deserved to be hanged." No language would be too strong to apply to them, and no punishment too severe. The learned counsel then commented upon various discrepancies between the bill and the affidavita afterwards made in support of it, and inferred therefrom that the re presentations made by the witnesses had varied in the in turns'. He observed that the evidence of Hamilton and Brown, upon which the plaintiffs mainly relied, had been completely discredited, and the plaintiffs had entirely failed to mtbstantiate the charge of fraud. The addition of the name of Dr. Cox as • party conspiring was quite unjustifiable. missing that there MY nut • particle of eviskuce offered that he even knew of the transaction. If the pantiff's case bed been confined to dm legal question, m to the validity off gift, having regard to all the circumstances, the defendants were prepared to court inquiry ; but they had been analre polled to insist upon the preseut discuseion, after the imp proper publication of the ease against them.

About half-mist nine fested in not having been seen that te carriages were pre o' com clock on the night of the 1st January I 'setae.' the house, likely coupled before leaving tint Old'Milford Station, fastened the outer gates, and went to bed about half-past ten. 1 occupied a room at the back of the house. I was awoke by some one trying to open the door. I eh:a l.:wed them, but received no answer, and instantly after wards the door burst in, and five men entered the roam. I had jumiwil out of Mal to get my gun, when one of the men struck me on the shoulder with a pistol, and ordered me to get into bed again. It was a large home-pi-MI that he struck me with. I got into bed as tiles ordered me, and one of the men then demanded my watch and money, and gave them to him. They then demanded my keys. The pnsioner Carter is the man who did so. Ile had a woman's bonnet on, but I recognise him by his veins and 1 am sum he is the man. Ile was hit us a guard over me, and I should think he was under my observation for an hour and a half. While he was so engaged, lie talked to me, and said he had known m. from a child, and I was WO stranger to him. I also recognise the prisoner Morgan as one of the men. He had a red mask on, but I recogni.e hint by his voice. I am satisfied he is one of the num, hut I cannot identify any of the others. One of the men wits a greed deal taller than any of the others. I have not seen hint since. They took up a writing desk, and were about to break it open when 1 said they had no occasion to do that as I had given them the key ; and they replied, that they did not want any keya, they lad a difft rent way of doing business. Some of the men then left my Morn, and I heard another door burst open, and one of the ladies scream. The prisoner Carter was standing guard over me at the time, and 1 legged him to go and see that his roinpunions did not hurt the ladies. Shortly after this one of the men came back, and he and Carter pulled me out of bed and ordered me to go and show them where the plate was. I. asked permission to put my shoes on, and Carter made use of a vulgar expression, and said that he did not wear any shoes and he did nit see why I should. I then accompanied them down stairs, and heard the rattle of plate in the pantry, and I saw some men taking the plate out of a drawer and putting it into an siprin. I was then taken up again to my bedroom, and in about half an hour I heard the men leave the house, said as soon as I was able I proceeded to Cekfield to °lit a in assistance. The witness was then shown a variety of articles consist ing of clothing and other property taken from the prisoners, all of which he identified as leaving been stolen on the night in question. A great number of witnesses were then called in order to confirm the evidence of the accomplice, and the evidence as regarded most of the prisoners appeared to he of a very conclusive character. It was shown that they were all in com pany at the time iu question, and they were traced in different parts of the country, going in the direction of the house of the prosecutor.; and it also appeared that the portions of the stolen property which had been produced and identified wery found in their p0,01(104011. It slot, appeared that when the woman Oliver was taken into custody Id sovereigns ' were found concealed upon her person. Morton, the ' superintendent of the Tunbridge Wells polite, and Mr. Millington, the chief officer of Guildford, who were the officers employed in the case, appeared to have acted most zealously in getting up the mow and in procuring the necea sary evidence. The prisoners, when they were called upon for their de knee, merely abused the accomplice, and said that tiny t o f the charge. wen winInm-en learned judge having summed up, the jury without , ,1 any hesitation returned a verdict of 0:sifts against all the id- prisoners, and his lordship sentenced the men to be trans ' ported for life and the woman for 14 years. When the sentence was pronounces', the prisoner Carter eus exclaimed that he would murder the first man he roue Mon, ;terms of when he got abroad ; and Hinter said it w as a 'wept very good thing he was ordered to be transported, fur he &UMW, ought to have been transported long before. named WINE AND SPIRIT TRADE—The forthcoming monthir eiremAr of Messrs.

CUIlliffe and Co.'s banking-house, in Lombard.strect, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen three 1001. bank notes, the property of his employers. The prisoner hail been a few days ago charged with having emlwrzled a bill of exchange for LW., which was alleged to have been incised by hhn on account of the firm, but it was stated on the part of the prosecution that the firm did not on the present occasion intend to proceed with that ease. Mr. Surr, assisted by Mr. Ifribler, attended for the pro secution ; Mr. Parnell appeared for the prisoner. The proceedings excited much interest, in consequenc e of the report that the hrm had been robbed by some of their iservanta of cash and bills to a very considerable amount. The following ix the substance of the proceedings, the details ,of which occupied his lordship for a length of time : Mr 'lhomita Undyed..w n, clerk to Messrs. Cunlitfe and Co., sohl—On the 2nd of D.rember last I received from the Bank of England 2,0001. in notes, and entered them in our waste cash-book. 't here were amongst them three notes of 100/. each, numbered from 87,172 to 87,174 inclusive, dated February 11, 11450. 1 put those notes in the till. The pri soner was the chief cashier, and had the control of and tree access to the till. It via. the duty of the clerk who takes note+ from that drawer to enter the amount of the notes and the date., and the names of the arties to whom paid, in the rash-hook . I have searched the hook, hut there i. no entry of these notes being paid away between the 2nd and the Gth of December. On the 2nd of December there is an entry in the prisoner's handwriting of 300/. paid to Jones and Co. I have searched the hook we call Jtleil'a book, and find an entry on the 2nd of Ikeemlwr in the prisoner's writing of 3001. cash. In paying bank notes to Jones Loyd and Co., we have not been in the habit at all times of taking the numbers. It was the duty of the prisoner to keep or check that book. There is a word cheque" entered in this book. The cheque pc - eluvial for 3001. was paid into our house by a customer of ours of Man cheater, where we have a house. The original entry of 3001. refers to that cheque, hut the word " cash " was written against it by the prisoner. The entry could only represent this cheque, because there was no other entry on that day. Cross-examined by Mr. Parnell—I am assistant cashier and journal keeper, and have been so for about six years. I Mr. linger Cunliffe assists in the business, and was at the house yesterday. Mr. Spencer, the ledger-keeper, does not usually write in the book which we call " Jones's Book." There was a perien of the name of Lancragan in the same employment. Ile has gone away. I believe he ran away about a week after the prisoner went away. I think Mr. Beale went away in February. Ile left behind him a box. I do not know what it contained. I rather think it was taken possession of by Mr. Cunlitfe. I do not know whe ther there were two or three boxes. Mr. James Nairn Gladstones—I am clerk to Messrs. Jones Lloyd and Co., of Lothbury, bankers. I keep a portion of our books, which are divided into alphabetical sections. The first section, A, IL C, contains the account of Cunliffe and Co. with our house. I keep these books. On the 2nd of December there is an entry of 2.3,4191.24. 8d., awl another entry of 54,4671. 17s. 8.1. in the names of Cunlitf and Co. as paid in. I make the entries in this book from the money 1 find in the box. There iv no entry of any 100/. notes on that day. There is a list with ' the mow y which is paid in, and I produce a list which wan taken off our tile, and which corresponds with the entry made in our hook. There was no other amount paid in nn that day by Measrs.Cunliffe, but there is an entry on the following day, the 3rd of Ikeenikr, but not of any 1001. note. There was no sum of 3001. paid in separately on those days by Messrs. Cunliffe. There was a sum of 3001, form ing part of the sum of 54,4671. 17s. Rd., paid in on the 2nd of December. It was a check upon Barnard and Co. Cross-examined by Mr. Pannell—Moniy received from the customer is entered by the cashier at the counter and put into the Nix, and we take it out and enter it into our book and check it tiff with the cashier. If the cashier had omitted to enter it in his book and to put it in the box there would be nu entry of it in the book I produce. Mr. J. Y. Watson, sharebruker, of St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill—I know the prisoner, and have done business for him. On the 3d of December last I received from him 300/. I do not recollect whether it was paid to me per sonally, hut the credit le enteral iu the hook. It is the custom of our firm to pay to our bankers the identical money we receive, and I believe that course was pursued on the 341 of December last. Cross-examined by Mr. Parnell—That 300/. was paid to us on the current account of the prisoner Mc made a pur chase on that day in the Merllyn mine. It was an allot ment to him at 50a. per share. Those shares have been since transferred to Mr. Cunliffe. I cannot exactly say when I received instructions to transfer them, but I received the instruction+ from Mr. James Cunliffe to transfer them to him. I think it was before the prisoner was taken into custody and after he had left the bank. I transferred other shares from the prisoner to Mr. Cunliffe to a large amount. I have not been paid for making the transfer. I received no directions from the prisoner to make the transfer. The Lord Mayor—Did the prisoner sign the transfer? Witness—I did not see him sign the transfer. I gave them to Mr. Cunliffe to get signed. Mr. W.11. Cuell, partner of the last witness, said the 3001. alluded to must have been paid either to him or to Mr. Watson. It is the custom of our house to pay to the Lon don Joint Stork Bank each day all money received during the day, the identical money received. Cross-examined by Mr. Parnell—The Merllyn Mines shares got up a good deal since. Then they were 50s., and they are now from 4!. Gs. to 41. 10e. per share. Mr. J. C. Stirke, cashier in the London Joint Stock Bank. Princes-street, said: Mears. Watson and Cuell, sharebrokers, are customers at our hank. On the 3rd of December I received from that firm a sum of 4691. 7s. Gel., mostly in cheques and cheques and notes. The notes were to the amount of MM. The particulars are entered by our clerk. Cross-examined.—I put the notes in a drawer for the clerk to enter. 'the drawer contained other note,. By the Lord Mayor—I wrote the name of the firm on the last note, and pinnedthe notes together. Mr. W. Gibbon, clerk in the London Joint-Stock Bank —1 produce the bank note book of our bank. There is an entry on the 3rd of December in my writing of 3.5.51. to the names of Watson and Cuell. I made the entry from the notes ; there were three of 1001. each. The numbers I so entered are from 87,172 to 87,174 inclusive, dated 11th Feb., 1850. The notes were pinned together. Mr. James Cunliffe—I am a partner in the firm of Cusi- 1 liffe, Brooks, and Co., of Lombard-street, bankers. The prisoner was a clerk in our employment. Be was never authorised by me to purchase any shares in my name or his own ; quite the contrary. Ile was never authorised to take any hank notes from our till or any other place in the house for the purchase of shares. I know that he dealt in shafts three or four years ago, hut not to what extent. I ,.. on ith th m e y 2 m nd on o e r 3rd of Decemberperiod l.adItodipdunr,oht purchase certainly did not know that he continued to do so till a re centwshahresim did I sanction the appropriation of my money to any such COTTON. — LIVEaroot, MAACK 12. — The market Cora heavily.

When the prisoner came into our service he had a bond from a guarantee society for his good conduct. I gave that hood to Mr. Suer, my solicitor, who handed it over to the prisoner's solicitor.

NATIONAL DISINIF.CTED MANURE COMPANY. — Yesterday, at a meeting before the Master in Chancery, Ferrer, a call of 21. per share was proposed by Mr. Harding, the official manager, to pay off debts. It appears that the creditors at a meeting consented to take 13s. 4d. in the pound in discharge of their claims. The liabilities origi• naUy lodged in the office have been reduced by the dfficial manager from 7,0001. to 1,2001., but out of the 217 share holders on the list of contributories, it is found that owing to insolvency and from other causes 12 only are able to respond to the present call.

Lades. l_ Charks Drawn was indicted un the charge of having aided and assisted in the manslaughter of James William Brown, at Long Eaton, on the 24th of June lust. Mr. Adams having opened the ease, The Judge said that, as it appeared on a former trial, there was a great aggravation on the part of the principal at the tight in question, in consequence of which he only received the sentence of one month's prisoament without hard labour, while Briddon and Peet, two of the seconds, were acquitted, it was now subject fur euusideratiou whether the case against this prisoner, who was another of the seconds, should be pro meted with ? Supposing a caw were made out, and the lury convieteel the . prisoner, he should only pass a very ight sentence. N1 ere there such eircum.tauteS against the prisoner as to make him a felon fur hiss fur the sake sal a fortnight's imprisonment ? Mr. Adams said he would, upon his own responsibility, accede to the suggestion, and utter no evidence. The learned Judge having directed the jury to acquit the prisoner on the charge, said he should be extremely sorry if either the prisoner or any other person supposed for a moment that he thought lightly of the cruue of man slaughter, committed under such circumstances. lie held it as a very serious offence, but at the same time all cases were to be considered upon their own merits, and he bad a sort of warrant here, team what occurred at the former trial, when they might take it for granted there was a full investigation, that nothing was then discovered even on the part of the principal, to induce the judge to pass a severe sentence. In these tights it was cer tainly the law, and everybody should understand it, that he who took any part whatever in it, was as much guilty as if he struck the fatal blow ; the reason of which was partly because the law desired to pre vent such things from occurring at all. It was, however, quite consistent with that consideration, that when such an event did occur, there must be some persons there to prevent anything unfair from taking place, and to render assistance it necessary—as he supposed such was the part the prisoners Briddon and Peet took in this matter. Ile hoped, however, that the prisoner would take warning, as he had been dealt with mercifully now, so that if ever ' he attended or took part in any simila r occurrence for the future, be would do whatever he could to discourage the practice. If, after what had passed, he was found offending again in the same manner, these proceedings would be re membered against him, and he might expect to receive a severe punishment. He trusted, also, that the prisoner would always feel deep regret fur having in any way eolith , hated in taking away the life of a fellow creature under cir cumstances so painful, and at a time when he mint have been so unprepared for the great change. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. AMMAR AND RIGBY/AY ROBBERY. Edward Cockapw, aged 17, was indicted (or having, on I , the 28th of January, assaulted Sarah Osborn, and stolen from her person the sum of de., her property. On the day in question a considerable crowd had ga thered at the bottom of Peck-lane through which the pro secutriz was endeavouring to pus h her way. While doing this, she felt some one press her side, and onlooking round, saw the prisoner with his hand close against her procket. She also di sc over d that another youth had his hand inside her pocket. She stooped down and bit the hand through her dress, and screamed out. The prisoner then grasped her throat, and continued holding it for some moments so tightly that she was nearly suffocated. The prisoner then ran ashy towards Hounds' Gate, and the prosecutrix lost sight of him for a short time.
