The ileeteilaat pleaded THE EXPRESS, - FRIDAY This was a writ of inquiry fur the assessment of damages in at, action brought to recover for trespass and assault. Judgment had been allowed to go by default. Mr. Shaw, in opening the case, said his client was a re spectable lady, the widow of an officer ; but, not bring in very Allures circumatenceo, she added to her means by let ting out furnished apartments. She resided at No. 31, Albion-street, Hyde-park, and in the early part of last year' the defendant engaged furnished apartments in her house, for himself and • lady, whom he represented to be his wife, and who passed under his name, but whose name it ap peared really was Sims. The plaintiff was examined—She said her name was Caroline Bull—the widow of Major Bull. The defendant took apartments in her house about the time the Exhibi tion opened for himself and wife. After they had been there two or three months she had occasion to desire them to leave, as her other lodgers left the house in consequence of the disturbances they created. The defendant sent a note stating that he was unable to give up the apartments by the required time, but would soon after. About the 13th or I ith of November witness was in the kitchen, when the lady who passed as the defendant's wife rushed down the stairs and begged for protection from the de fendant's violence. She said she was afraid of being mur dered. Witness told her that if she would come into the kitchen she would prevent the defendant using violence. The defendant came down to fetch her up, hut she refused to go, and witness ordered him out of the kitchen. Ile went sway sod had some brandy, and then returned like a madman. Ile made an attempt to seise her, but witness ordered him out. A needlewoman who was at work, named Barnard, interposed, and begged of him to leave the room, and the defendant, although she had a baby in her arms, aimed a blow at her. Witness put up her hand to receive the blow. He thr:atened to stop an an nuity paid by him to the lady's father, on which witness said, " Never mind; bad money does no good," when he rushed at her and struck her. Her daughter then went to her assistance, when he seised her and threw her down. Witness went into the area, and called " murder." There was a great assemblage of per sons. The servant went for a policeman. but he would net take the charge on being told the particulars. She was disabled (or three weeks in consequence of the defendant's violence. At the time • friend of the defendant's came in and offered to settle it fur .iO/. They left the same night, and she did not see any thing more of him until a fortnight or three weeks ago, when he called and asked her to settle the present action. The witness was noes-examined at some length as to a complaint made to the police. She said she went to lay the ease before • magistrate, but there was a case of murder umt investigation, and the was told to go on the follow ing day. In the mean time she saw her attorney, and she did not again go to the pollee-office. There had been some thing said about the defendant's valet and • fishmonger. Mr. Challis, • resident in the same street, gave corrobora tive testimony as to the disturbance at the plaintiff's house on the night in quest on. Mr. O'Brien, for the defence, said the plaintiff's case was an attempt to extort money, as the parties thought the de fondant would submit rather than that the case should be brought into court. The defendant admitted an assault is law, but the jury could not, he should submit, give damage for consequential damage, only for the corporeal injury sus tained and that was excessively trifling indeed. Inspector Porter gave evidence of the plaintiff having complained of the assault to him, at the police-statists. She said she had been injured in the hand, but he could not see any marks of violence, and referred her p, the Police Court. Emma Sims was examined—She stated that she had been I living under the protection of the defendant, and had re sided at the plaintiff's house. She flatly ountradicted the plaintiff as to the origin of the disturbance. She went down shears, not for protection, but with her fish book, to contradict an assertion made about the valet getting fish from the fishmonger's. The defendant and the fishmonger had been down before. When she was in the kitchen the defendant came down, and asked her to go up stairs, as he did not approve of her being there. The plaintiff and her daughter said, " Don't go ; don't be • fool;" and on her getting up to go, Miss Bull held her. Mrs. Barnard, this eempetress, said, "Pray let her go," and the defendant then laid hold of witness to take her away. Mrs. Bull then laid hold of the defendant by the coat cellar, when he told her to desist, and removed her head. Ile did not strike any one. Ile did not strike Mn. Barnard. He had nut used violence to or threatened witness at all that night. There were no lodgers in the house then, but there had been several families living there just before. In cruse-examination the witness denied that on the even ing in question she threw an image at the defendant, or that he threw one at her. The defendant was then examined. Ile denied having assaulted tither the plaintiff, her daughter, or the sempstress. Ad he did was to remove Mrs. Bull's hand from his coat. There had been an explanation gone into about an assertion as to his valet and the fishmonger re lating to tials. Mrs. Bull and her daughter tried to pesetnt the witness Sims leaving the kitchen, and Mir Bull went up to him to scratch his face, and he laid hold of her, and swung her round, upon which Mrs. Bull began to scream out murder with all her might. Elisabeth Morgan, servant to the plaintiff at the time, corrobor.ded the evidence for the defence. She deposed to having seen Miss Bull lay hold of the defendant, and try to scratch his face, when he took her by the waist, and swung her round. Mrs. Bull sent her afterwards to tell the defendant that she would not proceed if he would pay her 2W., and had asked her to be on her side. She admitted having received, as a present, from the witness Sims, • shawl, • pair of boots, and an apron. Mrs. Bull went about her duties as usual. The Deputy Under Sheriff hating summed up, The jury, after a short drtiberatiou, awned the damages at 201. A second case, is which Miss Bull wee the plaintiff, wea thee `one into. It invulnd the same (acts, and the result was a verdict fur le. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. ...___. OLD COURT.—YssmaDAY. /twos Ala. Jouiea CIMIOI/nLL ALLUIRD FRAUDULENT TRAUMA.

The formal PVl.lt'llee with r eard to etc bankruptcy of the it. fcnilants basing been gone into ' Mr. l'arrinton, an accountant, into, that on the btb November he was engaged by the ei editors to exa m ine the books of the defendants. They appeared to have hen carrying on burin. se as untbrelia and parsed makers for a periad of thirteen months, and he found by the book, that there was a deficiency of 3,000 f. He made 11110161 S of the bankrupts. upon the suhject of this delkieucy, and they told him that the only way th, y could amount for it was by the heavy hose. they had made in sac.ificin4 their goods by selling them at I. se, than they cost. They aloe gave account of property which they had plidged with Memos Muneaster and XX err, p11W11 1 .11.161.11 , , to the amount of I,2thf , and rpm which saut or 5401. had been advanced. liy Mr. Clarkson—The defiradusts admitted they were vent, tad readily missed a declaration to that effect , Fry, • clerk in the service of the bankrupts, proved the receipt of the goods by them on the 27th September. By Mr. Clarkson.—His wrote a letter to blesses. Ellis and Remington, at the request of the defendants, before the goods were Pent in. It was to the effect that Mr. Lyons could not give the price that was asked fur the goods, but if they would take a farthing or a halfpenny less per yard he would take them, and an answer was requested imme diately as Mr. Lyons was going to Manchester in the evening. Mr. Solomon Abraham Hart, who described himself as a merchant end warehouseman, carrying( on business in Bur s treet, St. Mary.axe, deposed that he knew the de fondants while they were carrying on their business in Cripple-gate, and he had had Jiff. rent transactions in trade vita them. On the 29th September he was at their ware house. when they showed him several boxes of figured silk, and asked him if they would suit him, and lie said that ' they would "at a price." On this occasion he purchased 35 pieces of the silk at the rate of is. 7d. per yard. On the following day he went again to the defendants' warehouse and purchased another lot of silk. The price of the whole of the silk he purchased was 5431. 3s. 11d., and Fe paid the amount at different times. By Mr. Clarkson—lie gave 2s. 3d. a yard fur one portion of the glace silk, and 2s. 4d. r.r another. The defendant Lyons told him that the reason he sold the silk was, that it wee not suitable for tho manufacture of parasols, for which they had parchased it. The silk was certainly nut suitable for that purpose. Mr. Allen was re-called, and he stated that the prices they charged for the glues silk, were 2s. 2d., 2a. Bd., 2s. ltd., and 2s. t3d. per pied. Mr. Ballantine asked the witness Hart whether he was a loser by the Isankruptry of the defendants ? He replied that he did not lose anything by them. Mr. Wane, of the firm of bluneester and Warre, pawn brokers, Skinner street, proved the different pawnings of the property at their establis h ment by a person named blown who acted as the agent of the defendants, who did not ap pear at all in the transaction . It appeared that property amounting altogether in value to about 1,400 f., was pledged at different times, and about 800 1 . worth was redeemed. The amount of interest charged was 15 per cent. This was the case for the prosecutien. Mr. Clarkson said he should like to take the opinion of the court as to whether any offence had been made out within the terms of the section upon which the indictment was framed. The section in question said that if any " bankrupt" should do certain acts three months before his bankruptcy, he should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and it appeared to him that if this meant anything at all, it meant that the person must be a bankrupt at the time he committed the act which femme' the subject of complaint The section, in fact, appeared to be almost nonsense, and he felt himself justified in asking the opinion of his lord ship, whether the charge made against the defendants could be sustained upon it. Mr. Ballantine, in answer to the objection, said be must admit that this section was worded very absurdly, and that instead of the word " bankrupt," it should have stated that of any " person" committing certain acts three months before the period at which he should be adjudged a bank rupt, and then no difficulty could have arisen. He sub , miffed, however, that the meaning intended to be conveyed was perfectly clear, and that in a common sense view of the matter the expression "bankrupt" should be taken to mean "person. Mr. Justice Cromwell, in overruling the objection, ob served that although the clause might certainly have been worded much more clearly, yet the intention was sufficiently apparent to justify the court in acting upon it. The offence itself was of rather a cumuli character, and he apprehended that the meaning of the word " bankrupt " in the clause in question was intended to be a person filling the character of a bankrupt. The statute created a sort ore: poet facto misdemeanour, for the party did not commit any offence at the time he obtained the goods, but the offence was only created by his filling the character of a bankrupt three months afterwards. _ Mr. Clarkson then addressed the jury for the defence, and in the course of his speech he contended with great earnestness that the defendants had not done any act that brought them within the scope of the very highly penal statute under which the indictment against them had been framed. He contended that so far from there being any proof that they obtained the goods by the false pre tence that they required them for the purposes of their trade, the evidence proved the exact eon tnry, and he submitted that the probability was that finding the articles were not suited for the purpose for which they were intended, they hail disposed of them to the witaewi Hart, being at the time under pressure of • pecu niary character. As to the price at which the goods were sold, it wee admitted that they had fetched within 301. or 401. of the sum at which they were originally sold to the defendants, and he called the attention of the jury to the fact that the assignees had been proved to have sold the bankrupts' stock at a discount of 47 per cent. under the invoice price, which was a much more serious oacrifico. The learned counsel then adverted to the stagnation that existed in trades such as that carried on by the bankrupts last year, ow ing to the Great Exhibition, and said that no doubt they, like many others, were very much under pressure, and he would admit that they had acted recklessly in en deavouring to relieve themselves from it, but he observed that he was very much afraid that some of the first houses in the City of London had, under lice circumstances, been compelled to act in a similar manner. The bankrupts had not yet obtained their certificate, and they were still liable to be dealt with and punished in the Bankruptcy Court, which, he submitted, was the proper tribunal to dispose of such a ease. He concluded by eget...wing his opinion that it would be very great injustice to render the defendants criminally responsible upon such facts as now appeared be fore the court, and he, therefore, called upon the jury to acquit them of the charge. The learned Judge having summed up the case, and ex- 1 plained to the jury with great clearness the points upon' which they were required to give an o pi n i on , t h ey a l most immediately returned a verdict of NW Guilty. There were several other indictments against the de fendann, but it was arranged that they should stand over to the next sessions, the defendants being in the meantime admitted to bail. Janes Nolemon Doer, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of the same character, and Jonas Heilbronn, who was convicted of perjury in connexion with the same transaction, were brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve maths. Vpoe tlast applieatioo of Mr. Clarkson, the trial of Gerber, Wagner, Kees r, and Kraheour, f or forgery, was postponed to the neat sessioa.

By the Court—The stock was poroollod out into small lots, with an option to any party to parching* the whole amount ; but, as the assignees considered that no eligible offer was made for the goods, they sold the whole of the stock by private arrangement to a person named Ayers, at a discount of 47 per teat. upon the invoice prices. Mr. H. A. Btansfeld, the official assignee, gave similar evidence with regard to the state of the ba nkrupts' books. He also said that, upon his asking the bankrupts the meaning of the term " outman " that was placed against some of the items, they explained to him that all th e ch eq ues that were drawn for the purpose of redeeming the silk that hod been pawned, were made payable to that name, in order that the real nature of the transaction might not be known •The whole amount of such cheques be. two. n January and October, 1961, was about SuW., sad every transaction of pledging appeared on the books. The books also showed that Messrs.

Ile pur chased one piece as a sample, and said he would consult his partner as to whether it was suitable fur making parasols. He afterwards purchased a numbers.' pieces of butts &strip. tions of silks, containing altogether 6,316 yards, the total value of which was 6801. 14s. %, FEBRUARY 6, 1852. THIS POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Poesy Amnon, a hawker, and We.. White, a youth, were brought up en a warrant from Birmingham, and charged, the former with being concerned with the latter in stealing eleven diamond rings, vales 3001., the property of Mu Walton, the goklamith, of Ludgate-hilt. Christopher Walton said that on the 17th of October last, about bar past eye is the afternoon, be was in hi counting house, his maintain baying left the shop, when the prisofter White entered the shop. Prosecutor seeing hint standing there, beckoned him into the counting-house, when pri soner asked him if lie kept plated studs at 2a. 6d. per set, and receiving a reply in the negative, he walked to wards the shop door, and prosecutor thinking he was gone, resumed his writing. In about 3 or 4 minutia afterwards ho heard a noise of something falling, and on going into the shop found prisoner standing at the corner of the counter, near the window. Ile collared prisoner, and asked him what he was doing there, when prisoner replied by begging hie pardon, and saying he thought prosecutor was coming to serve him. Prosecutor did not believe him, but looked about, and not missing anything, allowed him to go. As soon as he had gone, prosecutor happening to look on the ground, saw a diamond ring near the spot where prisoner had been standing, which induced him to examine the dia mond rings tray in the window. He found the window open, and 11 of the rings gone. The trade value of the 11 nngs was 3001. at least. Ile had seen them safe within half an hour previous, as he had had occasion to fill up several vacancies occasioned by sales. No person had entered the shop besides the prisoner, himself, and his as sistant. Prosecutor gave immediate information at the Pleet.street police station, and helmet handbills offering a reward for the property. Ito noticed that White wore a pi cubit set of studs, • description of which he forwarded to the police of London and the six principal counties, and in about ten days after he rem 'Ted a communication from the Birmingham police, that White woe in custody for a similar offence there, and enclosing one of his shirt studs, welch prosecutor recognised. Prosecutor then went to Birming ham and identified White. An inspector of the Birmingham pollee deposed that Jameson was waiting for White outside the gaul door at Birmingham, he was also proved to have given a false address. _____. The idderman, after hearing corroborative evidence, re funded both prisoners. LAMBETH, The young woman who described herself as Mrs. Caroline Bishop, the wife of a clergyman of the established church, was finally examined, on • charge of unlawfully pawning a quilt end blanket from her ready furnished lodging. The prat-matrix (a pcor but kind-hearted woman) ad mitted having received back the articles which funned the subject of the present charge, but said that the prisoner and her husband owed her at present 3&. fur rent—a sum the want of which distressed her much ; but still it was not her wish to press the charge against the prisoner, as she was quite aware that the had been driven to the act by distress and tho negligence on the part of her husband to provide for her. The pier woman added that the pri- , loner, who was in an exceedingly bad state of health, might have starved but for her, as fur the last fortnight her husband had not given her a shilling, so that the proseeu trix was obliged to lodge and support her. Mr. Norton commended the pour woman for her kindness and humanity, end asked her if Mr. Bishop had given her any urmey fur the last week, as the rev. gentleman had positively promised to do The proaecutrix replied that she had neither seen nor heard from Mr. Bishop since she had been last at this court. That gentleman hail been in the habit, she said, of making very fair promises both to herself and his wife, but he rare) kept them to either. Mrs. Bishop, who is an exceedingly good-looking, and evidently • well-educated young woman, and who was out on bed, declared she had not seen her husband fur the last fortnight, nor had she the slightest resistance font him for that time. She understood, she said, that alter her last examination Mr. Bishop had attended before his worship and made some representations injurious to her character. Mr. Nurtun—Yes; he ha denied your being his wife. Mrs. Bishop—No doubt be did ; but I am satisfied he would not have the face to appear in this or any other court, and in my presence say so. Mr. Norton—lle positively denies your assertion that you had been married to him three years ago at Lyming ton. le it the fact that you had been so married there or not Mn. Bishop—lt is not a fact that Iwu married at Lyre ington, but I said so by his directions. The disgrace at tendant on the charge it.elf was quite sufficient, without my acknowledging to anything further. Mr. Norton—Then, you are not married to him ? Mrs. Bishop—l ins, not be considered in law as Mr. Bishop's wife; but morally I feel 1 am so. The police-constable, who had the ease, here said that both Mr. Bishop and the prisoner had told him that they had been married by a catholic priest. Mr. Norton, to the prisoner —You have heard what the constable has said, is that true ? Mn.. Bishop—lt is, sir; we have been married by • catholic clergyman about three yean since. Mr. Norton—Where? Mrs. Bishop—ln the city of Norwich. Mr. Norton—Do you reculket the name of the clergy man?

THE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN WELBECK-STREET. —Yesterday forenoon Mr. Vt aldey, M.P., opened an inquest in St. Diary['bone Workhouse, on the body of James Joseph Webster, aged 62, the broker's man, who had been put into possession of the premises belonging to Mr. Weradly, No. 47, Welbeck• street, Caveudish-square, and who perished is the fire which occurred in the same house a few hours after.—Mr. Isaac Oillam, surgeon of the Infirmary, was examined, and showed that death had not taken place from wounds or poison, but by fire. Evidence as to the origin of the fire was then taken.—Police-constable John Francis, No. 72 11, said that he was on duty on the Thursday morninir at a quarter to 3, when he saw that the pre mises were on fire. Ile first saw smoke coming from the building. No one had previously called his attention to the fact. The smoke s e emed to be issuing through the wind-iws and slates of the roof. —Mr. George Thomas Maddocks, of 25, Welbeek-street, a cabinet maker and upholsterer, proved hearing the alarm given by the police, and looking out of his bedroom window saw fire behind the fanlight, and smoke issuing front the upper part of the house. The flames appeared at the fan light first, and afterwards at the attic window. lie saw a man come to the north window who was undressed, and he cried out, " Get me out, get me out." Ile did not see him after that. In a minute or two after that the escape arrived, and was raised in front of the house. Ilia opinion was that the fire in the lower part of the house and in the ton were simultaneous.—The coroner said that the mere fact of the man being seen at the window teemed to prose that there was no fire there at that time.—Witness said he had seen a strung light in the left side attic wirdow at • late hour the previous night. lie did not know who wee sleeping there, but some time back Mr. Werndly's daughter glipt there.—John Weradly, the occupier of the house, was next examined. He described himself as being a house and decorative painter. He occu pied the house numbered 47, Welbeck-street, at the time of the fire. The inmates at that tittle consisted of himself, his wife, his servant-maid, and the man who was lying dead. Ile saw the man for the first time the previous after noon to the fire. He was put in to distrein for rent by the landlord. Witness went to bed at 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, and hi. wife went at the same time. The deceased tame up also at that period. They all slept on the attic floor, which contains three rooms's, two in front and one at the back. lie repaired up stairs at ten minutes to ten, and wanting to got rid of the man neat day he sat down writing to make some bills out until the time of going to bed. The first intimation the received of the fire was from • little dog which scratched his wile's face twice. She got out of bed and struck a lucifer, when she called his attention to a strange smell in the place. Witness pot up, and, on opening his door, found the smoke eo strong that it extinguished his i candle. Ile then cried out fur his wife to get up, as his I house was on fire. He also told his wife to call the girl, and he would try to get the poor old man out. He went to him, and shook him, when he said "What, what?" He felt him at one time at the kidder, when it was quite dark. He (witness) was Isis the roof in 10 minutes afterwards. He could not get the dour undone for some time. Mrs. Werndly only had her shawl and bedgown on. Ile had only his shirt, trousers, and stockings on. Ile could not account fur the origin of the fire. lie remembered vying it was sawing to his Irish servant. When they moved a piano ha found some ' lucifer matches, which fell on the ground. He told her t o pick them up, but atter that as he was passing through the passage he trod on one and it exploded. He was in the habit "f lotting the house out in ready furnished lodgings. The furniture was insured in the Globe for I,ooof. 'rho r alj ey was, fleeted about the time of the F.shibition. He tiara insured in the same office for eighteen years POMP time hack. He gave the man In tore he went to heti half • glaas of pine-apple rum, and his wife gave him hit supper. The arrant maid was next called, and having confirmed the evidenie given by her master, the coroner adjourned the in quiry until neat week, for further evidence. lADIDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION, AND NOITHAIIIPTUNI AND DAVIOITMT RAlLWAT.—Yesterday the day was occupied in this matter before Master Blunt in hearing Mr. Hallett, counsel for the directors charged, on the 10,0001. p tid over to the central company, and which is sought to he recovered for the shareholder,.
