SMOCKING MURDER AND ROBBERY IN LANCASHIRE. The neighbourhood of the quiet and retired little ' hamlet, called Demand-green, sear Leigh, and about 12 ales men a)L a sebester, has been the sec ne of a brutal sod aim rovoitioi emarier. Xarslaad-greea is situate on the beadere of as summed eammon, called Lately-common ; sad it was I. a told on tide common, about half a miles beyond ills beer-base, kept by John Green, at Massland.green, that tb murder is supposed to have been committed. The madartasste victim is George Gre e n, ega d SI years, a day labourer and market jobber, residing in Bury.lane, about two miles further than the spot whet, he was ; murdered. On Wednesday lest be had Iwo to Manchester to attend the Salford cattle otorket, mid hod sold five calves. He had received 2.15. or 21s. for the salves, and this trifling amount of money -for the unfortunaee man was of an , tremely mild and gentle disposition, and bad no quarrel with any one—is supposed to have bees the only incentive to the murder. A man named Massey, who conveyed his , calves to market, returned with him as far hack a Astley, and they both rode in cart. He left Money soon ; after nine at night, near to -green, and west to the ; house of his sen-in-law, Jacob Thomasecon, at that place, and ; remained with him, smoking a pipe of tobacco, nearly an i hour. A little after ten o'clock he embed at John Omen's twer•bouss fora gill dale, but Mrs.Oreen says she refused him it on the ground that the hour was too late. After that he was seen in the lane with John Green, the beer-house keeper. This lane, which leads to Morley Hall, eraser the Bridgewater Canal by a high brick bridge near the beer house, and about SO or 100 yards further George Green I would leave it by a bridle path, or less public lane, leading to snail farms on the common and to various field paths. , About half a mile further, or scarcely so much, Green would ' come to a long narrow pasture field. It is about 200 yards long. The road leads at the entrance pasta small clump of large willow trees growing in a swamp to the right. A little further the road continues close by the hedge aide on the right hand. About the middle of the field, and sin or eight yards on the left of the rood, is an old marl pit full : of water. There is the house of a handloom weaver and fanner • hundred yards further, with its gable abutting the field, but with no windows to overlook it. The ledges all round the field have numerous tall willow trees of considerable girth in them, and they render the spot somewhat lonely and secluded. It is here the murder is supposed to have been committed. The road bears some sheet appearance of having been the scene of a struggle, and on the green sward close by its side is a patch of blood. On the further side of the pond the sod is stained with blood; and here it was on Friday morning that the unfor tunate IMO . . body was discovered at the bottom of the pool of water. Iles head was frightfully fractured with re peated bier. from some heavy stick or bludgeon, his pockets were turned inside out and his money was gone. There is every reason to believe some one aceleainted with the place was the murderer, from the fact that the deepest part of the paid hail been chosen for the cuocealment of the body, and not the nearest side to the road, which is only 12 or 1 - 6 inches deep, and which part of the pond, judging from the green weed. which cover it, has ant been disturbed for a long time. The body had been weighted no as to ',ink it to the bottomed' the pond, and to aid concealment, large boughs of trees had been thrown on the surface of the pond. The white straw hat of the unfor tunate man was found at the bettom of the pond. In order to sink 3t, a large green sod from the clayey bank of the pond had been cut and put inside it, the brim of the hot being brought together, and pinned, so that the sod might remain there. In the SAW pond she a thick atoll, about IS or 20 inches long, was discovered. It is bent, and something like in form, and of equal thickness, to a scythe. handle. Some large willuvretre s have lately been hewn down in the field, and it is prehatele part of the branch of one of these. The bark remaineon it, and the ends show the newly cut wood, cheapen d transversely, as if with one blow of the ase. At the thicker mid of the staff is a stain of blood, and some short grey Imam hair. So far the murder remains cove lopenl In mystery, but the police are not without hopes that they will he able to trace out the murder, and a search was fixed to take place in the dead of the night by-two en Saturday and Sunday, which it is hoped may throw light upon the deed—for it is thought that the murder cannot have been committed without leaving stain. large and deep on the clothe. of the murderer. The deceased had be en married three times, leaving a grown-up family by his tint wife, and by the last (whom he had only been married to twelve mouthy) an infant child only. An inquest eau held on the body at Seaford, near Leigh, on Steurday envenom, when several persons having been examined and given in evidence the priucioil facts con nected with the case as stated in the fore geitig summary, Briilicsick, surgeon, said-1 mode a post ittortem eseunination of the ilecemed tins morning. I found fine ins-101l wound. can the bead, of a triangular figure, with three a-endued wounds. Two of the triangular wuu nda were open the frontal bone, the third on the temporal hone on the len sole ; the fourth on the right parietal, and the fifth on the occipital bone. Each wound was to the bone, except that on the left temporal hone. The cootueed wound was en, the left frontal hone, and under it wan a quantity of reinoculated Noel. The second was on the left temporal bone. The third was on the left temporal bone, which bone was frarturni two inches in length -the fractured bun, being driven inward, On °lenient the brain 1 found omen ~ the right temporal hone that one of the eplintere of lite leene had entered one of the convolution', of the brain. Opooete the nattered wound an the left temporal bone I found a large chit of cougulote a blood The membrane. of the brain were much gorged with Wood, particularly on the left side, and in the have of the brain I found half an ounce of coagulated kilned. The subetance of the brain wee healthy and firm. The lett ear was lacerated, the right rye had an niened wound upon it, and both bon,. of the now wen: fractured. On the back or the left hand was a counted wound, with a lacerAtiou of the index and little figurer. Them were the principal appearances of injury, and are ',efficient to arcount for death. 'fhe wounds in the head were no doubt the cause of death. Ido not think the wound. were caused by any sharp instrument, or by Any iron instrument ; astiek might have prodund ouch a wound. The MOW. Oft the front ed the head wen• not struck from bel I, but from the front, and ell hate ben produced, 1 think, ley the some instrument. The wee . le might have Nem Inflected by such u stuck AM that produced, and there is a mark of lele.l at the thick end and a little grey hair at tached.

Gatr r. BL VILAND.—FALSZ lurauto. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. D aman , were counsel for the plaintiff; but the defendant did not appear to defend the affirm. The facts of this eau were shortly these :—The plaintiff VAS • provision agent, and the defendant had formerly been • partner with Mr. Leifehild, the auctioneer. The plaintiff and the defendant had had soma pecuniary trans ' actions together, and the defendant had given the plaintiff a hill of exchange to discount, which, however, he was un able to do. One evening, an the plaintiff was leaving his house, he was arrested on the charge of obtaining the bill of exchange from the defendant under Wee pretences. He was then conveyed to the station-house, and locked up all night The next morning he was taken before Mr. Alderman Wire, at the Guildhall Police *Sc:, when the defendant, with a solicitor, appeared to' prefer the charge against the plaintiff. The cane wan re manded fora week, during which time the plaintiff was confined in the Giltspur-street Compter. Upon his coming up a second time at Ouildhall Police ales the matter was immediately dismissed, the sitting alderman being of opinion that there was not the slightest ground for making the charge against the plaintiff. These facts having been duly proved, The Lord Chief Justice summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 80f. The court then proceeded to try the case of Connolly v. Lee and another, which was also an action for false impri sonment, the de , tails of which were totally devoid of any public interest EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-SATURDAT.

JIIIITISTE.-COFTRIORT o► "LA BORMAN. •VLA.-UVENTIO Or RIORT OF A FOREIGNER TO ASSIGN ♦ COPYRIGHT TO A SCIJECT Or ORRAT BRITAIN. --..—. . The important question involved in this case was learnedly argued before, and decided by, the Court of Exchequer. in the well-known ease of " Sauey e. Purday." The plaintiff subsequently brought an action against the present defan• dant, a musical publisher, for an infringement of his alleged copyright in Bellini's opera, "La Sonnambula." The facts were shortly these : Bellini, the composer, originally transferred his copyright in the opera to the publisher, Rioordi, of Milan. Ramesh subsequently tame over to Eng land, and transferred his right, so far as regarded the publi cation of the opera in England, to the plaintiff, who is a British subject. Baron Rolle, on the authority of the deci sion of the Court of Exchequer, in " Homey e. Purday," ruled against the plaintiff's right to recover; whereupon a bill of exceptions was tendered. Mr. Bovill, who now appeared on behalf of the plaintiff in error, said the object of the present proceedings was to bring coder review the judgment of the Court of Exchequer in the sass of "Boom ye. Plucky." The main question involved was whether there could be any copyright (or a foreigner in this country, and whether such a right could be vested in any person who purchased of that foreigner. And se mildly, whether there could be any assignment by the foreigner of a portion of the copyright to be confined as in the present case to Great Britain, and whether an assign ment made in Milan ought to have been attested by two witnesses. With respect to the first point the learned counsel said it was contended on the other side that there could be no property in such a work; but he submitted that such a work was property at common law, and before the passing of the statute of Anne — Mr. Justice Mettle presumed that Homer had a copy right in his poems; he could gn about and recite them. Lord Campbell.—And he might have had en injunction. Mr. Bovill proceeded to say that the statute of Anne was professedly enacted for the encouragement of learning by securing a copyright to the authors. It provided that after the year 1710 the author of any book who had not transferred it to any other person, or the bookseller who had purchased it, should have the copyright. If there was a right of property in the author—the natural born subject —it followed that the alien was equally en titled to property in it; for; the law made no distinction in personal property. Aliens may hold any description of property lin , ler statute 7 t $ Viet., c. 66. It was contended that the right was affected by the question of the place in which the work was produced. Lord Camphill suggested the case of a foreign author who, having come over to visit the Exhibition, should write a poem during his visit. Would he have no right to that poem ? Mr. Justice Maule—Or would he have no right to an ankle which lie might write about it iu a foreign pc. riesliecl Mr. Ibrvill submitted that if he had a right to it :IS the production of his mind it could make no difference whether he wrote it here or elsewhere. If the test was property or no property, it could make no difference whether he brought it here himself, or gave it to another person to bring it. If he could do that, then surely he could transfer that right to another. What was the effect of the statute of Anne? It was argued that that enact ment wan made rxpre•sly for the encouragement of native talent. But he submitted that it was of equal importance that we should have the benefit of the first publication of the literature of the world,as well as of the works of British authors. The statute of Anne, it was true, was for the encouragement of learning, but that learning was for the public benefit ; and there was no reason why the benefit should be confined to the caw: of works produced by British authors. ' Mr. Justice Maule remarked that a hook written by • foreigner might be of as much public benefit as one written by an Englishman. Mr. Bee ill ri ferred to various authorities to show that it was a question of property. and if so, that the plaintiff had copyright in the spent, and was, therefore, entitled to the judgment of the court. Mr. Peacock. eon lehalf of the defendant in error, did not menu to contend that a portion of a copyright might not be s o ld, or that a foreigner might not he entitled to copyright, and to recover damages for an infringement of the same. Itut he submitted that in the particular circumstances of the present ease the plaintiff had no copyright. The per son in whom the copyright of " Sonnambula " vested re sided abroad at the time of the first publication, and had, therefore, no right to claim protection in another country. The foreigner could nut assign a right which he did not proem. Mr. Justice Msule suggested the case of an actual in ventor in a foreign country sending over and obtaining a patent in Engiand. Windt' not that be a gaol patent? Mr. Peacock submitted that if lie used the invention abroad he could not afterwards come and obtain a patent in this country. In conclusion, the learned counsel submitted that, granting the right to make the assignment valid, it should have been attested by two witnesses. The argument having been concluded, Lord Campbell said he entertained no doubt upon the question ; but, from the respect he entertained for the Court of Exchequer, he should like to take a little further time to consider the question. The court would probably state their opinion on the subject on Tuesday. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—S.vrutums. IY 7141: MATTER or ROMMT PRO JECT"II or Pe BLIC COMPANIT.S.—Acrtome to Screnton Covina. This insolvent, • barrister-at-law, and projector of several public companies, was opposed by Mr. Macrae for a Mr. A. Smith ; Mr. Cooke and Mr. Samoa' supported. The ease occupied the court to a late hour. The com plaint was a vexatious defence. An action was brought by Mr. Smith on a bill of exchange fur 201. and interest. It was brought in the Court of Exchequer. A plea was pleaded, but no defence made on the trial, and the costs were 36/. 9s. 6d., of which nearly 301. had been incurred by the pleas. On it being asked why an action had not been brought in a County Court, it was stated that there WWI a sum of I+. fal. owing for interest when the action was brought, and further that the attorney wbo brought the action did not practise in the County Courts. Mr Commissioner Phillips thought that when the legisla ture established County Courts, where cheap justice was administered, it was a questionable proceedii g to bring an action in • superior court, where only Is. 6d. was due for interest. He should know how to deal with such a east, when the complaint was a vexatious defence. It appeared that the insolvent had projected and been a director of the Mutual Insurance Company, and the Foreign Insurance Company. lie had a claim on the foreign company for 7,0001., which was not yet due. He had also been con nected with other public companies—railways and mining companies —and had liabilities in his schedule. His debts were 11,9111., and his consideration debts were 11,361/. Some attorneys owed him fees, which were in the schedule. Mr. Commissioner Phillips made some strong remarks on the conduct of attorneys who employed barristers and did not pay them thelfees. He would some day expose the names of such attorneys, for the benefit of the public. It was most disgraceful conduct. The case occupied the court until past 6 o'clock, when the court suggested a settlement for • vexatious defence. The sum of 20!. was offered, and (refused, the ease was adjostrimd to Monday. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIRD COURT.—SATraDAT. aniZscli Edward Johns, 17, painter, was indicted for stealing a silver snuff boa, valued at 61., the propertyof John William Tripe, in his dwelling-bonse ; and Mary Ann Farina., 36, married, was indicted for receiving the same, well knowing it te Yaw boa stoles. misiil•;;CiMid looking lad, apparently not to old as MOM, pleaded guilty, and his companion in guilt, who is • amt e mane, and ordinary looking woman, evidently elder era described in the calendar, pleaded not guilty.

October lest the prosecutor missed the silver snuffbox, which he much prised, it being a testi:noels' presented to him for the zeal and skill he had displayed at the period when the cholera was raging. In March he mimed an opera-glass worth dl., a ease of ladies' pistols, inlaid with silver, in a tortoiseshell case, worth 101. ; also a deed box containing salusble documents, an opal brooch 5,4 with brilliants, valued at 261., gold seals and other jewellery worth between 501. and 641. Upon searching the place bit found a portion of the jewellery sealed up in a paper, sad also a will that was in the box, which were placed in a closet adjoining the room from which the dcedhos had been taken. During January and February the prisoner had ac me to that room. . _ John Hales, an assistant to Mr. Fuller, pawnbroker, of King's-place, Commercial-mad, said that on the 10th of February the woman pledged the brooch first for • po" then had another 11. Ss. on it ; she had previously pl., the snuffbox, two gold seals, a brooch and other things. The woman said she was commissioned to pledge the things by her brother, or brother-in-law. William Jutson, another pawnbroker, produced the saute box which had been redeemed from the other place, else • brooch, silver butter knife, and other property. Wheedle brought the snuffbox, seeing there was an erasure on the top she was spoken to about it, and she said they were her father's things, and had been left to her brother who was in such straitened circumstances that he wan compelled to part with them, and that he had erased the inscript.on from the hose, as he did not wish it to be seen. She had bees a customer of theirs for years. The evidence of the prisoner Johns, which he gave at some length, and with much apparent candour, was to the effect that he first became acquainted with the female pri soner, who was a woman of the town, in October last, and their acquaintance began in the following way: He saw her in the streets. She was fighting with some man, and he took her part, and got her away. He finally saw her home, and she then asked him about is circumstance.; and when he told her, she said, " You had no need to be short of money. You must find plenty of things about, and if you will bring them to me, I will make money of them for you." It was in October when he met her first. When he took the snutf-box, he showed her that he had erased the name, and she said it was riot done complete, and took the name quite out. He then continued to rob Mr. Tripe, and took the things to her, which she pawned, and gave him a few shillings out of what she got. Sergeant Kelly, 2 H, said that Mr. Tripe having men tioned has looses, he traced the property, and on the 18th of April apprehended the woman, and told her she was charged with receiving a quantity of jewellery. She said the prisoner had told her the property had been left him by his father or brother; she did not know which. He then went and saw the male prisoner, and he said that the only thing he had pawned was a si ver pencil-ease for 2s. The tortoiseshell ease the pistols were in he said he bad broken up and thrown down the water-closet. The constable who took the male prisoner said that he at first said he knew nothing about it ; but, when he heard that Farmer was in custody, he made a statement si milar to what he now made, and adding that he threw the japan deed-box into the canal. The jury having found the woman Guilty, Mr. Payne called several highly respectable witnesses, who said that up to this transaction the lad's character had in every respect been irreproachable. The prosecutor also begged that he might be mercifully treated as he thought he himself was to blame for having left so much property about which he wonld not have done had he reflected upon it, or thought it would have been any temptation to the lad. The female prisoner, in a most plausible manner, said that she had been entirely deceived by the boy's statements and artful manner, and had no idea the things did nut be long to him. '1 he Common Serjeant, in passing sentence on the lad, said that no one could help feeling sorry to see a young man with so good a previous character in the position he then was, and he perhaps would never again get into honest employment. The prosecutor had most kindly recom mended him to mercy, but his case could not be passed over without severe punishment, as he was of an age to know better than be drawn into such an act, and erasing the name from the lid of the box looked very bad. He was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and the woman transported for seven years. THE POLICE COURTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Cornelius JU;;;:rfoSiTigne;, fa,liWitlly firmed, wu brooght up for final examination, charged with having attempted to extort money from Henry Lynch, gentleman, of Stone-buildings, and also with having obtained his top coat front him. It was stated on the former examination that the com plainant met with a girl to the street, and took her to a house in Rupert -street. When about to leave the next morning, the prisoner came into the room and demanded 21., threatening, in case of refusal, to inflict punishment. The complainant was locked in the room and detained for some time, while he sent to a person fur some money. lle was relieved at last, but his paletot was taken from him by the prisoner. The prisoner found out his address, and came to Ins chambers in Stone-buildings, demanding 10/., under a threat of exposing him. This annoyance ultimately led to the prisoner's capture by the police. Mr. %%twilit fur the prisoner, asked leave to cross-examine the complainant. The complainant mid he was a gentleman, living with his brother-in-law, who occupied chamben in Stone-build ings. Complainant had been in the army. Had never re pri.sented himself to be an officer in the Ilth Dragoons. Had not given his name to the lady as the lion. Mr. Law rence, aide-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Had not attempted to leave the house in Hupert-street without payment. Ile had given a sovereign while in the house. Mr. Woolf!' handed the defendant some cards, with "The Hun. Mr. Lawrence, 11th Illussan," on them, and asked Min it he would swear they had nut been written in hie pre sence to hW dictation. _ The complainant would not swear that the cards had not been written by the lady while he was present. Seve ral curds were written, but be did not know what was WI them. _ - Mr. Woolf said the prisoner wmi a foreigner, and entirely in the hands of the court. It was a mistake to suppose he had attempted to extort money, or that his position towards the complainant was otherwise than that of a friend. Mr. Hanlwick considered the whole affair wore the ap pearance of a felony, and be must, therefore, send the case to a jury fur their decision. The prisoner was, therefore, fully committed. SOUTHWARK. James Creswell, a well-dressed young fellow, who was stated to be a clerk in a mercantile house in the City, was brought up charged with committing an assault on Ann Clark, a young woman with an infant in her arms. Complainant, whose face was much disfigured, stated that a little after nine o'clock that morning she met the prisoner near the Brighton 'hallway Station, London bridge, and having some claim upon him, she asked him to give her a trifle to assist her and the infant, and to en able her to return to her parents. Instead of doing so. he struck her several times in the face, and wa: only deterred from seriouiry injuring her and the infant by the timely ' arrival of a police constable. Magistrate—Have you any claim on the prisoner, by ask ing him fur assistance ? Complainant—l have a great claim upon him as he seduced me and afterwards left me to wander the streets. I became acquainted with the prisoner at my native place in Hertfordshire, about 12 months ago, when he enticed me to elope to London with him under the promise of marriage as soon as we arrived. I foolishly trusted to his promise, and left my parents' comfortable roof, when he seduced me. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she came to London with him voluntarily, and livedwith him nearly ten months. Iler temper was so bad that he was compelled to leave her. _ Mr. Seeker told the prisoner be was a heartless scoundrel to treat the young woman in that mariner. Ile should fine him dl. for the assault, or one month's imprisonment. The magistrate assisted the girl out of the p nor box, and directed the constable to communicate with her parents. TUE GOLD-DEfT ROBBERY.—Anotlicr trace of the gold-dust robbers has been discovered, and the police an is full pursuit. It was stated in the Desi,y Nero last week, that the weight of the three stolen boxes of gold-dust was about 7011. e. This was en error, and although its correction will not militate against the ar gument deduced last week front the weight of the go Id, circumstances have transpired which have ren dered it important to state that it has been aceertained that the weight of the three stolen boxes was near I cwt. Now, it has been sworn in evidence that the man in custody fur the robbery appeared at the Winchester station etaggenng with two packages. If those packages were the two missing hoses of gold, they weighed about SOlbs. A question, therefore, has arisen, whether his staggering appearance arose from the weight he was earning or whether he was pretending to be drunk, for it has been proved, that he was not in reality in liquor. It is rather unfortunate fur the ends of justice that with regard to the extensive robberies in the south of England, the great companies located there, and whose business is to take charge of or convey valuable property, are almost as anxious to believe that the robberies have been effected before such property had come into their pos session or after it has passed from their hands as to discover the thieves, and there can be no doubt that the police agents selected by the various companies to inquire into robberies are biassed by the feelings of their employers.

It was pruve4 that the girl had been kept locked up in an unfur nished room, which she had not been allowed to leave for several months, and that her allowance of food was insuffi cient. It asosequence of this treatment she gradually wasted away, and when brought before the magistrates she presented a ghastly spectacle. Mr. Brice said the prisoners would be remanded for further examination, and in the meantime directed that the girl should be placed under the Me of the matron at the police central station, and that medical attendance should be immediately given to her by the surgeon of the force. The prisoners were then removed to Bridewell amidst the execrations of the populace, who aould with difficulty be restrained from laying violent hands upon them. Indeed, but for the exertions of a large body of police, they would have been maltreated.
