This win the eighth and lest Jay of tLis protracted in quiry. 11 was an adios oe • 131111i110 time policy of inter a.i fore lead lost. The defendant, with about 100 other underwriters, had underwritten the policy to the extent of on:,/, bat it had been arranged bete, en the other port owner, with the present plaintiffs and the other under wr.ters that this action should be tried, and its result be binding Jri all parties. The dideodaut Ltd ;aid into court tau gums., being at the late of sereu per cent on the ac:ount :underwritten by him, and denied Lis liability to si.:y further sum, on the ground that it ass tot a total loss. This was a second trial. The first trial, which bated five days, resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, upon which a rule was obtained on behalf of the defendant for a new Vial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The rule was accordingly argued and made absolute for • new trial, and the consequence has been, as is invariably the ease iu second trials, from each side being exactly aware beforehand of emery minute point to be relied on, and stations to meet them with as mach evidence &wit a longer period occupied in the inveiticition. COMalea Ad with the consent of both parties with slaves special -.:rytoen, but the little episode of Monday further reduced the number to 10, by whom the matter had to be decided. The plaintiffs were part owners of a steamer of 600 tuna bonbon, called the Harbinger, valued at !3,3001.. sod the machinery 4.000/., making • total of 17,r401. She was ksured to the amount of 15,000/. on • time policy for • year. The plaintiffs had inured their part for 3.950/., of which the defendant had underwritten 150;. No fraud was imputed. This morning the leaned Solicitor-General resumed his reply, which occupied up till the middle of the day. The Lord Chief Antics, who wee suffering from severe indisposition, eke referring to the importance of the case in a commerCial point of view, mid the question for the jury was whether, under the cutunistatioss *hilt had been brought under their attention and consideration, the master of a merchant vessel might, withoutmaking anyeffort to eve the ship and bring her home—without communicating with the underwriters, and in the Owen of imminent peed to the ship, abandon her and sell her under aircumetauces which amounted to a total and absolute motif ce of valuable pro perty. The plaintiffs claimed in respect of • total loos of the *hi,. When she wee abandoned she was to all intents and purposes &ship, neither having run ashore, became a wreck, so: sunk in the ocean. The policy.holders could not, ender such circumstances, claim for • constructive total loss except uoder two conditious— one, the vessel being noses worthy ; the other. needing repairs is • place where it was impossible to repair her, or where the expense of effecting such repairs would have been so heavy as that they would have been co-extensive with. or exceeded the value of the ship when repaired, so as to be an idle waste of money if expended, for no Mee was boned to throw good money after bad. If, therefore, policy-holders could satisfy • jury that they could not have repaired a vessel to make her fit for ses except at an expose, dines portionte to her value, they womanlike] to recover for a constructive total loss. The plaintiffs in this nos maid they hat DO alternative than to do what they bad does. They did not say th , y could not repair the ship on account of the cost. but that looking to the natured the injuries, and to the condition of the venal, and the place when she was, the repairs were physically loveable. If they made that out to the satisfactioo of the jury, the next point for their consideration was whether the defective °audition of the ship arose from any of the perils lamed against, end then they would have to determine whether the abandonment of the ship was justifiable or sot, axed further, that if justifiable the sale was of each urgent necessity. They started with the fact of a vessel valued by her owners, including her machinery. at 18,0001., not cast away upon a togged, barna, inhospitable cent, but in the bay of • British settlement, where human help was not so far off as not to be within reach, sacrificed, as regarded her hull, for 2001. II was a circumstance that called for =pinnies, and it was for the jury to may whether the air eusistsons that had been brought to their notice, and the explantion that had been given in respect to it, wee nth,- factory to their minds. But °ninety it was a ciroutoirtaine that celled for vigilant sod rigid inquiry. On the other band, they started with a very satisfactory facet. It could not he suggested, nor had it been suggested in the costa of the case, that what had been done, whether they coridered it rightly or wrongly dome, had been does from any sinister orf oorngt motives. The owners were certainly not ever-iosured ; en fact, they knew the principal owner was considerably under-insured, and that he wanted hie vassal home, a f-ct that ern well 'mown to the captain. It (add not therefore be suggested that the captain had with say sinister or criminal motive fraudulently or wantonly abandooed the vesseL AU that could be said on that point had been urged by the learned counsel for the defindast, viz., that the captain was not actuated by thosebigh noting which generally prevailed with menhant captains ender similar circumstances. Be thought that was all it came to, and he should have deedy regretted if asythieg bed been said in the coarse el the trial which in any way in fected on the conduct of the captain as having beam want ing in honesty of purpose , gad in desire to do his duty to his employers. However, when they came to inquire lino the question if the captain bad sunned • sound as well as an honest judgment in the matter, ft might not be ones tact to see whether he bad shrank forma meeting the difibaltise of his position, and had 'hoes timidity, mid had displayed • want of that courage, hammination t and pin e y /gee s e swhiCh distiarlithed the of oar merchant Tokio, 'Without hepatitis dinac , • o tame f duty, go far as honesty of purpose was concerned, they had to tow eider if the captain had done all that a high sense of duty ought to have matted of bitn, His lordship then went minutely through the numerous de tails of the case beating on the various points in dispute. and artfully contracting the evidence given on both aides.

It was suggested by the defeedanta, that the ship might have been take, to itymon's Bay, and there repaired, and afterwards brought hone ; but it was for them to say whether the evidence inhaled them that elle was suflicieutly seaworthy to go to Smote, Bay, sod that, when she got there, she might have been repaired. It was certainly • difficulty In the ease that it was not at tempted ; but, admitting there was danger in doing so, was there no alternative but abandoemeot, and in so doing had the captain feted like c pendant mac because lie.

Su pposing, however, the plaintiff had made out his ass an tie ques tions of seaworthiness and abandonment, the ddere&ste still irked for the verdict en the ground that the damage did not arise from the perils inured *seine% but that the state of the nvees sad plates, so far from ?,eirig sea damage, was diniumithable by what was called weer and tear from internal corrosion. 'the plaintiff, whose theory was unlade factory on that point, came into court with two strings to his bow : first, that the damage was occasioned by floating wreck—but on that point it was said by some of the witnesses the hole was too low down • and secondly, tin .training of the ship.

The grand joy, in the cam of the three prisoners who were charged with manslaughter arising oat of a fight in which one of the parties was principal and the other two seconds, ignored the bill for wilful murder that was pre sented to them by the direction of the learned judge, but returned a true bill for manslaughter. The whole of the defendants bad been admitted to bell, but they were in attendance ready Intake their trial. Mr. Baron Pigott, however, said that thasemsiees were only held for the purpose of delivering the different gaols of the prisooere who were confined there, and it was not usual, as he was informed, to take cases in which the primmer* were out oo bail. _ .

There will beabout 14 prisoners for trial, six of whom are charged with anom There is also a charge of burglary with violence, but the re mainder of the came are of an ordinary description. The offence demon appears to be exceedingly rife at the present time, and the extraordinary discrepancy between the sentences paved by different judges has comics:4d aged deal of observation, and does not appear calculated to repress the crime. As an instance of this, it may be mentioned that at the commencement of the present Home Circuit, Mr. . Justice Williams, who presided at Hertford, minteposd every prisoner who pleaded guilty of the crime of arson, or who was convicted of that often°e by the jury, to be kept in penal servitude for ten years. At Maidstone, however, where Mr. Baron Pigott presided, prisoners who were tors• rioted of the same deeenptioe of come, some of the eases being of a more aggravated Ware than those at Hertford, were only sentenced to one half of the punishment. namely, five years' penal servitude ; this result apparently writing from the mere accidental circumstance of the oases coming before a different judge. It was understood that the judges had determined, having regard to the serious inerww IS this most mischievous offence, to par a sentence of tes years' penal servitude in every OM of conviction, but the rale does not seem to bars been strictly adhered to.

London.—(A THE FLUSHING LUNACY CASE. Samuel Porter, charged with neglecting and O ttomans his brother, Robert Porter, a lunatic, at Fl was spin brought before the county magistrates, u a a t b kl: meth, an Mr. J. B. Moirmaa auto defended the prisoner ; and Mr. H. S. Law, of Bush-lau, London, aohcitor to the one 'Melamine in lousy, sow nominated the prosecution. Edwin Elliott said—l reside at Flusbiog. I know the defendant, Samuel Porter, and have raided in his hones at Flush! . I first went to live there lest Christmes. He was my o landlord, and occupied part of the house with me Os the 28th of March last, defeedaetreinoved into another house at Flushing. Oo entering on the occupation I be came acquainted with the teat that there was a man in l i the house besides defendant, his wife and family, and my family, because of the noises he }node. The noises were sot such as nesegenerallymake—theee was no sense in them. t They were like a ball roaring. Th ere were cries axed marines out Jot night, not during the day. They were like the cries of • lunatic, and nut of • sane person. At the time ddeedant war going to remove, be came to me in the evening, and said to me, " Neighbour , if you hear any mess en the night, dou'l be alarmed or trouble your. self to get up, for through the night I am thinking of takiog away this man." I understood him .to allude to the man who made the cries. I told him if be wanted any help I would lend bbn a hand. H. told me he was •ery much obliged to me, but that be could manage to do it Nothing else pseud between us then. In the course of the night, I should think between twelve and one o'clock, I heard a noise like the wheeling of • wheelbarrow past the front door to the back door, and to the bottom of the hill. I did not get up, but, after an interval of Bve or six minutes, I heard the barrow wheeled away, I saw Samuel Porter the next morning, and he said to me, " Did you ma us come through the night r I said " Oh, la h, yes, I heard yeti come with in the wheelbarrow during the night. He said, " Didn't you hear me go into the room ?" I told him I did not. H. told me he said to his brother he me going to remove him to a new boom, and that he had put him in a wheel barrow. I asked him if be had more help, sod he amid no one but himself and his wife, and that he (the brother) was quite quiet until he got him up to the now house, and after be got him into the house he (the defendant) said, "This is • nice room, isn't it, Robert ''land his brother answered," Riddling, oomdderMg." The new house is at the bottom of the New-toed aWlmbilig, and the ow at which he is Dow reskling. I had teen in it with the de fondant before this removal, end he pointed out the place in which he meant to put Robert. On the morning after the removal, about five o'clock, I went into the room that had been previously occupied by Robert. I °posed the door, but found the stench se had that I war obliged to go beck. I left the door open for a few minutes to air the room. I returned to the room, and went inside. I can hardly describe the state in which it was. It was worse than any pigsty I ever saw in my life. Both the walls and the floor were strewn with human dung and wet, dirty, rotten straw. Just inside the door I saw his bed in the corner. It was a large blue stone like a hearthstone, bricked up about four inane above the general level of the floor. The stone was covered with dung about four inches thick, and on it was the impression of the man's body. By dung I mean human dung. There was not a bit of straw. Theirs was the mark of the man when he had lain, like • vessel in the mud. I oonvinoed myself the bed was stone by taking a shovel and shovelling the dung off it. It was about four feet long. In the forenoon of the same day, assisted by two boys, I re moved the greater pert of the filth. We winked is turns, for we could Not stay there long at • time. There war quite half a cart load of dung. Both walls were like the door, smothered with human dung. I found about six feet of the floor thoroughly rotten. There was a window to the room. I tried to open it, bat found it ballot. The glass was coveted with green mould, wed I could not see through it. There was no internal communication between this room and the house. To get to the room we had to go out at the beck door and through an alley about 18 inches wide, and from 18 to 20 feet long. The alley is not straight ;it is at a right angle. I never saw any feed carried but bread aultrowle. There was no chimney in the old room. It wee nearly twelve feet long sod s ix feet wide, and about eight or nine feet high. There have been alterations made in the room now, and communication established with the house. The man had been digging into the wall. There were marks of a man's hand, but I have had that repaired, sad one-half of the floor ha, been renewed. Julia Tregiddgo, an old woman, examined by Mr. Law, said—l reside in a house next door to the one defendant occupied until the 25th March hat. He had lived there ten yeah, and occupied that house as the owner of it. I knew be had a brother called Robert. I knew Robert quite well. He was a fine young man more than twenty-five year. ago. I mother died, in 1842, until about three years ago. I had previously been very much Warred by the Mined he made. During my husband's lifetime I was not so much afraid, but three years ago I determined to ascertain whether he could not get out. I went to the buk door of the room. which was the us from which the noises bad come. The door was latched, bet net looked. I opened it a smell bit, end just looked in. I saw • human being there without a bit of clothing, stark naked. He was doubled up together in a crouching posture. sad seemed to leave his legs behind I him. It was Robert Porter, I am sure. This was about ten o'clock in the morning, and thelight was good. I did not speak. I was too much afraid, and ran away se quick as I could. I have no doubt that was the person from whom mad to bear the cries sod poises. I did not observe the state of the room. Daring the whole tea yeans—not every sight—l frequently heard him cry out. He mostly called =is sister Charlotte, of whom he war so food, "Chub, food, She is now in America. I have eat heard any noises sines he was removed eight or nine years ago. When I last knew him he was not a triple. He made more noises in the winter time than at any other, beginning about nine o'clock. Mr. Moorman—Do you know be was kept there against his well? Witness (warmly)—Poor soul, he was pushed into the room, and there he was kept. Mr. Law (addressing the bench) said—That is the ease for f e es prosecution, and upon that I ask you to commit the pri for trial. Mr. Moorman, at considerable length, then addressed the bench in defence, arguing that the act of parliament did not apply to this case. At the conclusion of his remarks the magistrates retired. In a few minutes they returned, when Mr. Hereford said the bench had given this cue every consideration, and had come to the coeclusioo that there was evidence of an offence statutorily as well as in common law. They were therefore determined to commit Samuel Porter to take his trial at the next earning &mixes. The formal charge having bees eyed, The prisoner, in reply, aid—l have nothing to say at precient. This concluded the proceedings, and Porter was wooded through the streets by a guard of constables. However, the few pintoes who awaited the prisoner contented them selves with hooting him, but he was otherwise unmolested. THE WIRDMOTES.
