GREAT LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY. Yesterday a meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the London T , Sir W. 111•OXAT, In the chair, preparatory to the general meeting of the company, which is to be held in Brussels on the Thad in most. The report stated that the difficulties which the company bad to encounter having been sarmonotedosothing now prevented the undertaking from being brought to a sueceseful and profitable conclusion within the period stipulated for by the last convention made with the Belgian government. The sale oldie surplus land which the com pany purchased in the Quarter Leopold, in Brussels would more them cover the Interest which had been paid to the shareholders since the ts Trot: ma of the works. The origi nal (rats ' of the line bet Namur d Arlon had been altered, by which the co would be reduced 64 English miles. The guarantee which the Belgian govern ment accorded to the company was 4 per cent. upon the fixed sum of 900,0001., and considering that the laud balongibg to the state traversed by the company's line wool,' be ceded to it grataitousiy, that the lead be longing to private individuals had been secured at a moderate cost, and that the contracts had been let at prices the value of which could be calculated accord ing to the new trace with considerable accuracy, the share holders might safely calculate upon receiving the 6 percent. flaw paid on the guaranteed stock in perpetuity. It was expected that the opening of new mines in connexion with tie railway would add largely to the sources of profit, and the directors anticipated that the ue derived from the conveyance of coal, lime, and other minerals along the whole extent of the line would be sufficient to pay the in terest on the capital expended. The share capital now created for the construction of the entire railway tram Brussels to Namur and Arlon was 60,000101. shares up, 600,0001.; 60,000 51. quarter shares , bearing a pre erential interest of 6 per cent., 300,000/. ; 60,000 101. shuts guaranteed 6 per cent., 600,0001. ; toal, 1,500,0001. ; which would bring out the cost at 13,0001. per mile, for which the shareholders would have a great metropolitan railway of 120 miles in length, traversing nearly the whole lengt h of Belgium, and opening the shortest route for interim- Canal traffic by its connexion with the French and Ger man railways. The balance-sheet for the year ending the 31st December showed receipts to the amount 206,7451., and at that date there was a balance of 89,2211. The re port, which was received with great satisfaction, was unani mous', adopted, after a brief statement from the chairman, in which he said that 160,0001. would be and by the new trace between Namur and Arlon, and that from the is quiriss he made he had no doubt the coal traffics to the die trist of Meta and Longwywould alone return 4 per cont. oa the outlay of capital. Mr. Bowen, and Mr. Drouey, the resident minister of Belgium in this country, were asked to become new directors, and it was hoped their inflamer* would contribute to the future prosperity of the company. The line to Namur, and the first section of the lisle to Arlon, would be opened in November neat, 1001. was voted to the auditors, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors terminated the proceediege.

EQUITY COUBTS.-YESTERDAY. Bosoms ram Mama or no lama. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY V. GEOIDS HUDSON, Rol , M.P. On this ease being called, llis Honour said he was a little shocked at seeing there was a third suit between the sante parties. The S ilicitor•Cleneral, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said the first suit related to other transactions in which Mr. Hudson was connected with other parties, who had the grace to submit to a decree before the hearing. His honour remarked that if these were all matters of account between the parties, one would hate thought that all the matters could base been settled in one suit. The Solicitor General said he was also shocked that there was a necessity for three suits and three disclosures, which were painful to make, and no doubt painful to decide on. This bill was filed for an account of profits made and money obtained by the defendant from the York and North Mid land Railway, partly by means of untrue representations. and partly by means of improper appropriations of the plaintiffs' money.l.The general character of the transactions was of this nature. Mr. Hudson appeared to have entered into large contracts for the purchase of iron rails with the firm of Thompson, Forman and Co. Having entered into these contracts he watched the market, and sold the iron which he had bought at 6/. 10s. and 91. to the plaintiffs for 12!. a ton. It appeared that he entered into con`racts for the purchase of a considerable quantity of iron, to be delivered as he should direct, and he directed part to be delivered to the plaintiffs and part to another railway company, and he obtained from the plaintiffs, by way of payment, money to en mama% far greater than the price. He was sorry to say that In me of the cases relit' ous invoices were made out. Another series of transactions was of this character, for there was nothing too large for the defendant, sod on some occasions nothing too small. On various loan transactions and sales el debentures, transactions on the part of the plaintiffs taish men Manned by the defendant as the chairman of Me , he waived from the broker one-half of the which was debited to its full amount to the eompany, and he appropriated the one-half so received by him to his own use. On another occasion he obtained from the Bank of England 80,0001., having negotiated with the Bask a loan of that amount to the company, het instead of paying the whole 80,0001. to the credit of the company, ha paid only 50,0001., and applied the other 30,000!. in part payment of an estate for which he had contracted. This sum of missy he retained to his own use for a period long enough ID scare Mae lose to the plaintiffs is interest.

The darrimrl /clasps secretary sad his principal agent in these treeseedemo wee Mr. Close. Another of his agents was Mr. Nielicdsoa, his brother in-law, sod one In stance of his extraordinary power was that when Sir Joha Simpeon had been eppoiated in the regular way one of the auditors of the company, Mr. Hudson on his own authority put Sir John Simpson aside, and substituted Mr. Nicholson as auditor is his stead. He stated on a former occasion that Mr. Nicholson died insolvent. He was informed that that statement pee pain to a lady, Mrs. Hudson, the sister of Mr. Nicholson, end be now wished to state that Mr. Nicholson's debts had all been paid by Mr. Hudson. The defendant having this control the court would not be surprised to hear that these transactions pawed without notice, until circumstances occurred which indaced an in vestigation. The first claim which plaintiffs made was for a sea of 2,2031. 12s. 11d., with interest thereon. In Amps, 1844, Mr. Hudson entered, in his own name, into • matrect with Thompson, Forman, and Co., for 2,500 tons of iron rails. There had been many previous contracts, but they were in the name of the company. The price was 61. lOs. per ton, and the defendant distributed these rails between the plaintiffs' company and tke Newcastle and Darlington, which had since been merged into the York, Newcastle, and Berwick. The quantity delivered to the plaintiffs company was 785! tons, in respect of which plaintiffs paid him 7,000/ in May, 1815, the amount which would have been payable under the contract being 4,7961. 75., the difference being 2,2031. 135., the amount of the claim. The Newcastle and Darlington Com pany, it appeared, paid the defendant 2,2031. too little for the iron rails delivered to them, bat that was set right by their afterwards paying that sum to hint The neat item was of • different character. Defendant, on the 11th January, 1845, ecntracted with Thompson, Forman, and Co. for 10,000 tons of iron rails, at 61. 10s. • ton, and on the same day he appeared to have made a contract with the same firm for 2,000 tone, at 81. 10s. • ton, 21. a ton more than in the first contract, the reason for which he (the Solicitor-General) hail not been able to discover. Of these, 2,511 tons were delivered to the company, for which the defendant charged 121. a ton. In order to get from the company this payment, Mr. Hudson produced to the com pany an Invoice, by which It was made to appear that the rails had been bought by the York and North Midland Railway of Thompson and Forman, at 121. a ton. That Mewthent was proved to have been prepared by Mr. Gray, thementary, and Mr. Woodley, one of the clerks, by direr ohm of Mr. Claw, and was exhibited to the directors on the MI April, 1846. That was before the delivery of part of the walla. and part of the complaint was, that these payments were obtained by anticipation. On the 15th April, 1846, • cheque for 10,5581. was signed by three of the directors, and was handed over to Mr. Claw, who gave a memorandum that he bad received it for Thompson and Co. The cheque, however, was paid to the private account of the defendant, and Mr. Adams, clerk and manager for Thompson and Co., proved that no payment was wade to them until December, 1646. The next step in the transaction was that in November, 1846; an application was made by the defendant to Mr. Woodley for a cheque for 13,4421., which sum he repre sented to have been paid by him to Thompson and Forman on account of rails, and such was his influence and authority that, though this was • most irregular transaction, Woodley delivered the cheque for the purpose of its being signed by the director) in the usual way. The cheque, however, ap peered to have been signed by Mr. Hudson alone, but it was paid by the bank and charged by them to the company. lie received therefore from the company altogether in this transaction 21,0001. for that for which be paid only 16.6061. le. rid., leaving an original difference of 7,3941. 18s. 4d. as the illicit gain of the defendant on this transaction. When defendant retired frem the office of shairmaa in 1849 a committee of investigation was ap- Cr, and they discovered the circumstances with regard etatthet entered into by the defendant with Thomp son and Filemmi. A representation was made to the de beAseit. GM an the 22nd of May, 1849, he sent the directors an IMMeinet made out by himself. That account claimed to Merge the 121. • ton, and he made out that there ma • balms, due fYtm, him of 1,7321.65. 9d.• and he sent a cheque for that amount. The directors h ad given Mr. Hudson credit for this 1,7321. Os. 9d. as part payment of the 7,3941. 18s. 4d. He now asked for • declaration that Mr. nude= was liable to make good to _the plaintiffs 5,6824 Ils. 7d., and 5 per cent. interest. In the amount which defendant sent in he included a =a of 9,001!. 45., which plaintiffs said was in rermeet of a totally different transaction, and they leased that to him and he sent them • cheque fee 9,000 f. It appeared that 3,000 tons of iron rails were &Aimed to the plaintiffs company, being part of • quantity . of 5,000 tons which defendant had eon treated for in his own name with Thompeam and Forman, on the 29th August, 1845, at 91. a ton, to be delivered at Selby; and on the 3rd September, 1845 , Mr. Close ordered graot r o d ns of the 6,000 to be delivered to the Leeds and , and they were afterwards transferred to the C The other thousand tons was delivered by and Forman, under another contract with the counts d at 91. a ton. The learned : here went M into a elatemeat of figures, from which it appeared that the comperay paid 9,0011. 41. for this iron, beyond the price of 9!. per ten; and he said that Mr. Close represented to Mr. Woodley that the price paid to Thompeoa and Forman was 121. a ton, and in consequence of that misrepresentation he procured heques from Woodley in payment. Payment was made in Jane, 1846, and in Kay, 1849, defendant sent a cheque to plaintiffs for 9,0001. The claim against him therefore on this item was 11. 45., the amount of principal underpaid and the interest on 9,0001. from June, 1846, to May, 1849. The fourth claim was in respect of the interest upon • loan of 80,000/., obtained by the defendant for the company, and a portion of which be appropriated for a time to his own purposes. The loan was negotiated with the Bank of England, and Mr. Hudson obtained payment on the 31st May, 1841, in two cheepaes—one for 50,0001., and the other for 30,000!. The 50,0001. was paid by the plaintiff to Glynn's, to the credit of the Union Bank I at York, by whom it was carried to Mr. Hudson's private eemeat. he other cheque, for 30,0001., was paid by the tielhaasat to Strachan, Paul, and Co. ' the bankers of the Dabs of Devonshire, towards payment for an estate which Mr. Hudson had purchased of the duke. The loan of 10,0011 L was negotiated by the plaintiff for the purpose of paying for the Whitby and Pickering Railway. The con tract was that it should be paid for a month after the bill authorising the sale had received the royal assent. It re igned the royal assent on the 30th of June, and the money therefore was not due till the 31st of July, and the money therefore was procured by the plaintiff two months before It was needed for the purpose for which it was borrowed. De facto the money was not paid till some time after it was ate. 11,101. was paid in July, and the rest of the 80,0001. an the tad, 3rd, and 4th of September. During this time the sweat of the company with the bank was overdrawn 111,01111., and they had to pay interest on that.= ofinoney at 5 per Dent. which they would not have had to pay if the 80,000 f. had I wen paid in to their credit instead of to the credit of the defendant . The amount which they had thus to pay for interest was 1,3701., and he therefore now sought to charge the defendant with that sum. The nest transaction was the commission. It appeared that the practice was for broken to charge fn. per cent. procuration money on loaas negotiated by them ; but when they were acting on behalf o f b oo k ers or companies, they only charged half that amount. Mr. Lawrence, the broker, stated l his evidemel that prior to December, 1847, his firm were in the habit of negotiating loans of mosey for the plait, and es charging thin a tomialerisa of only 24. 114. per 1001., bit THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1853. that subeequently, by direction of the defendant, he charged them the full commission, and that he paid over one-half of it to the defendant, by his directions. From the end of 1847 to February, 1849, 11r. Lawrence nego. tiated loans for the plaintiffs to the amount of 440,0001., on each 1001. of which he paid 2s. 6d. to the defendant, making a gross amount of 5621. Ile now asked that defendant be decreed to pay that amount and 6 per oast. interest upon it. The Malls item arose out of the tale of a debenture by which a sum of 901. was lost to the company. In December, 1847, defendant took a debenture of the company for 4,0001., and sold it for his own purposes. At that time it was di fficult to get money in the market, and the debenture consequently sold at a discount, 3,9101. only being obtained for it. It was sold to Colonel Torey, and the money was paid by the de fendant to his private account, and he remained a debtor to the company for that sum down to the 22nd February, 1848, when he carried it to the credit of the company. In respect to this transaction, he desired to charge the defen dant with 901. and interest thereon. and interest at 6 per cent. on 3,9101. to be qpmputed from the 18th December, 1847, down to the 22nd February, 1848, when he paid it over to the company. The seventh claim was for interest on three large sums of =way, amounting altogether to nearly 300,0001., borrowed by the plain its on their debentures which the defendant got into his own hands and retained, only a short time it was true, but still long enough to cause a loss in interest to the plaintiffs, who were at that time in difficulties, and had to borrow money at 6 per emit. These sums were detained in one case a fortnight, in another 12 days, and in another four days, and the claims for interest in respect of them were respectively 1641. 7s. Bd., 951. 17s. Bd., and 32/. 171. 6d. The eighth claim was for in on the calls due by the plaintiff, and which were allowed by hint to fall into arrest. His calla were paid as it pleased him, and he seemed generally to have paid them just before the half-yearly accounts were made up. Some times they were not paid even then, but they found their way into the accounts. By the act of parliament calls, when in arrest, were chargeable with an interest of 6 per cent.; and the interest between the time at which the calls were due and the time at which they were actually paid had been computed to amount to 3931. 18s. The ninth, end he was happy to say the last claim was in respect of shares in the Hull end Selby Railway, improperly issued by the defendant. Twenty-five shares were Caned in the name of Baker, and it turned out that Baker was a mere name, and that these shares were issued for the benefit of the defendant himself. These shares when issued became entitled to dividends, and warrants for the dividends were accordingly made out, and these divideods the defendant received sad appropriated. These shares were issued in 1848. The dividend list had been made out to the 31st December, 1847 ; but although the shares were not actually issued till after the 31st December, Mr. Hudson got these shares included in the dividend list, the result of which was that he obtained dividends to the amount of 701. The plaintiffs now claimed restitution of that sum of 7U1., and Interest thereon at 6 per cent. Altogether the plaintiffs claimed on the first transaction the over payment of 2,2031. ; on the second, after deducting the amount received, 5,6621. ; an the third the interest of 9,0001.4.. from the time of its payment by the company, to the time of the payment of the 9,0001. by the defendant, and the small balance of 41. Then he claimed 1,3701. interest on the 80,0001. retained for a time by the defendant. Then be claimed the commission, 6621. Then he claimed the discount on Colonel Tove7's bond, 901. He also claimed g 931. 2s. Bd. in respect of Interest on some received by the defendant for loans to the company during the time they were retained by him. He also claimed 3931. 18a. for interest on calla, and the 701. received for the shares issued in the name of Daher. He also submitted that the account ought to be taken with half-yearly rests, so as to give the plaintiffs the benefit of compound interest. Mr. Hobhouse followed on the same side, and detailed the evidence on which the various claims were founded. His Honour said he would hear Mr. Rolt in reply this day. Be said there weranow nine different inquiries. On the [lnt l Mr. Rolt had proposed an inquiry (the amount actually paid to Thompson and Co. for the iron), which he thought would answer the purpose. On the second he wished to hear him. On the third, with regard to the 9,0001., sub jest to what Mr. Rolt might say, be was disposed to direct an inqUity. With regard to the fourth, the sixth, and the seventh, which were for sums paid to defendant on account' of the plaintiffs, and afterwards paid by him to the credit of the company, he was disposed to direct an inquiry whether any and what lass bad beta sustained by the platutiffs. Mr. Rolt—One of those is Colonel Taney's bond. The Master of the Rolls—Yes, and he did not think he should fix defendant with the 901. Mr. Rolt—lt will be an inquiry, if any, and what loss has been sustained by the 3,910/ not being over at once. The Master of the Rolls—Yes, and also with regard to the h item, the interest on the 300,0001., which was left in hand for twelve, eight, and four days. Mr. Rolt—And we shall be at liberty to chew whether any thing was saved by commission. The Master of the Rolls—Yes; it appears to me it was an irregularity, and if the company has sustained any lose by it, they are entitled to have it made good. I must hear you on the subject of the half commission, and also in re spect to the arrears of calls. I will not trouble you on No. 9 (Baker's shares). I will state the reasons afterwards. Mr. Rolt—The substantial question is No. 2, whether we had not a right to sell that which was our own property. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YEnzaDAY. Bzroas Yi.eoarsa Hozam. _ Ix as PICILRING.

The total amount of the liabilities is estimated at between 24,0001. and 30,000/., and the assets at between 16,0001. and 20,0001. Mr. Bridge appeared to oppose a proof of 12,0001., by Mr. Thornthwaite, of Barnsbury-park, which was claimed under an award made by Mr. Frederick Robinson. The claimant bad acted as a clerk and discount agent for Messrs. Baldwin, and also for the bankrupt, for several years, and there had been large discount transactions, amounting in five years, from 1826 to 1831, to 178,0001., and down to 1845, to no leu than 835,0001. At that time no account had been rendered between the parties ; dis putes arose, and an action was brought by Mr. Thorn thwaite. The principal point in di4ote was as to a sum of 2,0001., alleged to be due at the end of 1832. Between that period and 1845 the account turned in Mr. Pickering's favour. Mr. Nelson, for Mr. Thorathwaite, objected to the award being disturbed, which had been made after eight years' litigation. The Commissioner—What is your objection to the award ? Mr. Bridge said the amount had been se taken that it was impossible for the arbitrator to come to any correct de cision. The account was considered closed in 1831, when Mr. Pickering swore he was not indebted more than 2,0001. ; and it this were so, Mr. Thornthwaite's claim would be very small indeed. It was contended that the court had the power to go into the accounts anew. His Honour said he had the power, but some special reasons should be shown why he should exercise it. The parties had chosen their own tribunal, and ought to be bound by its decision. Mr. Bridge contended that Mr. Thornthwaite had not given the arbitrator full information as to the parties con nected with the bills. Various errors in the accounts had since been discovered, and there was abundant reason why • searching investigation should be made. His Honour said that nothing had been shown to jurtif7 him in opening the award. The parties had referred their dispute to an eminent barrister, and there was no reason why hie decision should not be considered final. He could not refuse to admit the proof for the amount of the award. Mr. Bridge said he was instructed to oppose the appoint ment of Mr. Thornthwaite as trade assignee. Mr. Nelson said Mr. Thornthwaite had bees in the book trade all his life, and his debt was double the amount of those of the other creditors. The debt of the petitioning creditor, Mr. Pouncey, was founded on a judgment which be had allowed to stand over for years. Mr. Thornthwaite was as well acquainted with Mr. Pickering's affairs as him self. His Honour said that Mr. Thornthwaite might be ax. 'mined, if it were desired, as to his umpetency to be appointed assignee. Mr. Thornthwaite was called, and on being asked if he knew who wu the drawer of a certain bill, he declined to answer. His Honour said if the witness did not answer the ques tion be could not be appointed trade assignee. Mr. Nelson said he would propose a third party, Mr. Baldwin, of Paternoster-row; bat the proposal was met with loud cries of " No, no," from the creditors present. Mr. Nelson said he was willing to propose quite an inde pendent party, not a creditor, Mr. H. P. Harding, of the dim of Harding and Pullein, accountants, of Guildhall chambers. _ _ Thu appeared to be acceded to; and Mr. Harding, who was present, having agreed to accept the appointment, he was appointed accordingly. not had a child. She told the doctor that she had been ill, and intimated that she bad miscarried, and said that her husband bad buried it in the garden. lie made further inquiries, and from other facts Mr. Jones came to the con clusion that the prisoner had been delivered of a child, and he pressed her upon the point, and she at length said, " God forgive me ! I have had a child." And she then said that if Mr. Jones would do what he could for her she would tell him all about it. The prisoner then went in the cellar and removed some bricks, and produced from under them the dead body of a female child, which Mr. Jones ex amined. Be found the mark of a ligature round the neck, which had been tied very tightly ; and from this and other facts in the ease, he came to the eon elusion that the child had breathed, and that its death was the result of strangulation. Upon being cross-examined, however, Mr. Jones admitted that in some cases, and especially in those where a woman was delivered without any assistance, it frequently happened that strangulation took place accidentally. The story told by the prisoner herself was, that in consequence of her fal ling over a washing tub, labour had been suddenly brought on, and that she became insensible, and when she came to herself she found the child lying by her side dead. She likewise said that her husband had behaved very ill to her, and that be had declared the child was not his, and there fore he should not employ any one to assist her in her delivery. The Lord Chief Baron expressed an opinion at the close of the ease for the prosecution, that after the medical evi dence, the charge of murder could not be maintained, and the only question for the jury would be whether the pri s user was guilty of the offence of concealing the birth of the child by secretly burying the dead body. Mr. Woolli tt said he should not attempt to struggle against a conviction for concealing the birth. The jury consequent) y returned a verdict by which they convicted the prisoner of that offence. Mr. Woollett urged on behalf of the prisoner that there were good grounds for supposing that she bad received very bad usage at the bands of her husband. It was also clear that he must have been aware of the birth of the child, and it was very possible that to a certain extent what the priso ner had done was under his coercion. The Lord Chief Baron, in passing sentence, said he be lieved this was the only case within his experience in which a married woman had been convicted of an offence of this description, and taking into consideration that she had been already four mouths in prison, and the conduct of her hus band in the transaction, he felt himself justified in passing a lenient sentence, which was that the should be further im prisoned fur one week. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE HOME CIRCUIT.—Lzwza, JULY 20. CROWN ate..—BENORI TER LORD CANTY BARON. A MARRIED WOMAN CUAZOID WITH INFANTICIDE. Elizabeth Rabin's*, 2S, was indicted for the wilful murder of her female unbaptized child. Mr. Johnson appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Woollett and Mr. Munster were counsel for the prisoner. The circumstances of this cue were rather peculiar. It appeared that the prisoner was a married woman, and lived with her husband in a cottage at Burdham, a few miles Imm Chichester. For some time before the 24th of March she appeared very ill, and the neighbours supposed that she was is the family way, and to one or two of them she ad mitted it was the fact. After the day mentioned the ap pearance of the prisoner was observed to be a good deal altered, and a suspicion prevailed that she had been de livered, and it appeared that on the 3rd of April a woman named Saunders was in the prisoner's cottage, and she asked the prisoner's husband, is her presence, what the report was about his wife, and he replied that they accused her of having a child, and making off with it, but be said it was not true, she had not had any child. It would appear that after this time the rumours upon the subject continued, and at length the parish authorities felt it to be their duty to interfere, and at their request a medical gentleman named Jones was sent to the prisoner's cottage to make the necessary inquiries, and after informing the prisoner what was the object of his visit he inquired whether the had bad a child, sod told her at the same time that there had been a report that she had had one, and that it had been made away with. The prisoner upon this said she was very glad he bad come, as it would be the mesas of clearing has ahusetu, and the than dsolued that she had CHIRON OP )(ORDER. Sarah Smith, 43, was indicted for the wilful murder of Stephen Smith. Mr. HOlll. and Mr. Attu, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Hurst defended the prisoner. It appeared that the deceased was a shoemaker, and the prisoner was his wife, and they occupied a small room in a ! place called Harrow's Mews, St. Leonard's. The evidence' ! went to show that they were both given to drink, and that ! they frequently quarrelled. On the evening of the 17th of May, which was Whit Tuesday, they were together at the Queen Adelaide public-house at Hastings, and left about eleven o'clock at night, and at this time they appeared to be on friendly terms, but were both to some extent in, liquor. On the following morning, about one o'clock, a lodger in the house named Cook was awoke by the prisoner, who begged her, for God's sake, to get up, as she said she bad stabbed " Steen," meaning her husband. Mrs. Cook immediately got up and went into the prisoner's room, where she saw the deceased man sitting in a chair, with a wound in his breast, from which the blo od: was flawing. He was alive, but unable to speak, and! be was holding an apron to his breast, while the prisoner was walking about the room trying. Mrs. Cook, seeing the state of the deceased, went out to fetch Mr. Gardner, • surgeon, and upon their returning together to the room! they found the prisoner still these crying ; and upon her seeing Mr. Gardner she exclaimed that she had stabbed the deceased with a knife used by him in his trade, which she I had thrown out of the window; and upon a search bang made the knife was found in the yard of the house, covered with blood. The unfortunate deceased was found to have been stabbed completely through the heart, and he died minute or two after the arrival of the surgeon. While Mr. Gardner was examining the deceased the prisoner appeared to be very excited, and said that she and her hus band had been out together, and that upon their leaving the:public-house to go home she gave her husband the slip, and when she got hems he abused her, and reproached her for leaving him, and in the course of the altercation that took place between them afterwards she threatened him with some violence, upon which be opened his shirt, and said, " Do it," or words to that effect, and she immediately snatched up the i knife and plunged it into his breast. It appeared that the prisoner had never attempted to deny that she had caused the death of her husband, and on her being taken to the police station, she said to the constable, " I have often ! taken up • knife to him, but this time I meant it." Mr. Hurst addressed the jury for the prisoner, urging that under the circumstances of excitement and liquor in which the prisoner was at the time of the melancholy oc currence, they would be justified in taking a merciful view of her conduct, and acquitting her of the crime of murder, and find her guilty of manslaughter only. The Lord Chief Baron, having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of man slaughter. She was sentenced to be traneported for ten years. THE BRIGHTON CARD-CHEATING. JoAn Broom* surrendered to take his trial up= an in dictment for misdemeanour, in having defrauded William Henry Hemp of a large sum of money, by cheating at eards. Mr Johnson and Mr. Creasy were counsel for the prose entioi ; Mr. Parry and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the de fendant. The facts of this case have been so repeatedly before the public, under the head of " The Brighton Card-choating Cue," that it will be utterly unnecessary to repeat them on the present occasion. The prosecutor Hemp was examined, but either from want of memory, or some other cause, it was with very great difficulty that any direct answer could be obtained trom him, and in answer to a question put by Mr. Parry, he laid that at the time when he was alleged to have been defrauded by Btaden and James, who, it will be remem bered, were convicted upon an indictment which charged them with being concerned in the transaction, the defendant was asleep on a sofa, and took no part in the proceeding, and he declared that he had &imp made the same state ment with regard to him. The Chief Baron, after hearing this statement, expressed his opinion that the jury could not be expected to convict a man of an offence who, it was represented, was fast asleep at the time it was supposed to have been committed, and who took no part in it. Mr. Johnson said that after this intimation from his lord ship, he should not proceed further with the cue. The jury then, under his lordship's direction, returned a verdict of Not Giddy, and the defendant was ordered to be discharged. This concluded the busineu of the mixes. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STArroaD, JULY 20. Bova' Ita. Ivrrics CRON !TOL PERSONATING ♦ POTIR. James Ray wee charged with having wilfully made false answers to the questions put to him "as a person entitled to claim a vote," by the presiding officer at an elation held on the 24th of February, 1853, of a councillor for the ward of St. George's, in the borough of Wolverhampton. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months imprisonment. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. John Taylor andßichard Neenah were charged with having robbed Mr. William H. Melville,' barrister, of his pocket handkerchief, and the latter was also charged with having committed a desperate assault upon Knight, the de teethe officer, who took him into custody for the robbery. Knight, who had been conveyed immediately after the as- sault to the hospital, appeared with his head hound up is bandages. Mr. Melville stated that on Monday night as he was passing over London-bridge, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he missed hie handkerchief, which had been safe in his pocket a few minutes before. He identified the handkerchief pro duced by Legg, a policeman. He saw a struggle going on, but did not know who had been struggling. Joseph C. Knight (437 detective) said —I was with Legg on Monday night on London-bridge, at • quarter past 10 o'clock, and saw the two prisoners coming towards the Bo rough together. Taylor took hold of a gentleman's pocket, but I could not see whether his hand was in the pocket or not. Afterwards I saw the prisoners close in upon two gentlemen, and Legg caught hold of Taylor, in whose hand I saw the handkerchief produced, and who threw it towards Keenan. I got hold of the handkerchief as N tried to throw it on the ground, and I held it till Legg took it from me. Heenan said " Let me go. let me go ; I have nothing to do with it." Two gentlemen imme diately interposed and said " Let hint go. They have the thief there." Heenan said to me, no doubt encouraged by the interference of the gentlemen, " I'll kick you to pieces, you —, if you do not let me go." Oae of the gentlemen said " that's right," and caught me by the left arm, and said I ought to let the man go. As the gentleman held me by the left arm, Heenan struck me with all his might with his fist, and split open my lip. He continued to hit at me and to kick at me, but 1 parried his blows. He then tried to slip his jacket. To prevent his getting away I closed in upon him. He then caught me with both arms round the loins, and lifting me right off my legs threw me backwards an d on me. The back part of my head came in contact with the kerb. We got up together and strug gled for some time, although I was bleeding very much. Whether he threw me again, or whether I fell from loss of •blood, I do not know. My impression is that he threw me, as my shoulder has been very painful ever since, and I had net received any violence there before. He got away. I remained on the pavement till I received as sistance, and I was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, and had my head bandaged, and my lip sewn up. I have since been attended by Mr. Childs, the police surgeon. The Lord Mayor said be apprehended that serious mis chief was frequently occasioned by the injudicious inter ference of strangers, in in which the police were con cerned. It was evident, his lordship represented, that in the present instance the interruption to which the officer had been subjected, who was well.known to be in the habit of performing his duties with remarkable mildness and caution, was very near causing fatal injury, and he hoped a lesson would be taken from the statement. The prisoners were ordered to be committed for trial when the depositions should be completed. Thomas Bentley, the conductor (No. 69) of a Padding ton omnibus, was charged with having load insulting and abusive language to Captain Joseph Burton, opposite to the Mansion hone. . _ The complainant, who is a captain in the army, and re sides at No. 7, Omer-terrace, St. John's Wood, said— Between 11 and 12 o'clock to-day I went into the defend ant's omnibus near Upper Baker-street, for the purpose of being pat down oppotite to the Mansion-house, upon arriv ing at which place I offered him 41. Ho acid he would not take that sum, as his fare was 6d. I said I would pay what the police constable would say I ought to pay, upon which he asked me if I was a gentleman or not, and he declared that I was not one for not paying the amount he demanded. He then said that I was an old vagabond, and I gave him in charge. This was all said in the hearing of the police constable. George Payne (464) said—At half-put 11 o'clock this day the defendant and the gentleman who makes the com plaint came over to me at the corner of the Bank. The latter wanted to know what the fare was. The defendant said, " You old vagabond why don't you pay the fare ?" and the complainant gave him in charge. The Lord Mayor said it was odd enough, that at the very commencement of the operation of the new Carriage Act an extraordinary number of instances of insolence and at tempts at extortion bad occurred. The present was rather • remarkable sample of the gross conduct of the class which the law was meant to correct and improve ; and he would, tuerefore, adjudge the defendant to imprisonment without giving the alternative of a penalty. The sentence upon the omnibus conductor was imprisonment for seven days, but if any future case should be proved against him the sentence should be the most severe the magistrate could inflict. The defendant departed in the custody of the gaoler, in a very dejected condition. BOW-STREET. John Daley, a sergeant of the A division of pollee, No. 48, was brought before Mr. Hoary, charged with a meanly assault upon Inspector Rea.on, the intelligent cfticer em ployed by the Commissioners of Police to enforce the rept lamps of the act for the improvement of common lodging houses. Mr. Richard Reason, who had been brought from Charing-cross Hospital, with his head bandaged, and appa rently exhausted from the injuries which he had received, stated that the defendant was one of the constables em ployed under Captain Hay to visit the Edgings of the poor in one of the metropolitan districts. In common with other officers, he was allowed cerain travelling expenses, an account of which it was his duty to submit to witness for examination. On a late occasion witneu detected an overcharge in defendant's account, and warned him not to repeat a similar attempt to obtain more than he was entitled to. On Monday, however, witness found ' the defendant's accounts inaccurate in several instances, and consequently intimated his intention to report him to the commissioners. He (Inspector Reason) accordingly did so yesterday morning (Wednesday). and Captain Hay ordered the defendant to be suspended. Witness saw the defendant shortly afterwards, and told him what had taken place. He said nothing in reply, and witness walked into the common lodging-house office, 1 Palace•yard. He was waiting there when he saw the defendant enter the room, and immediately afterwards he (Inspector Reason) received a blow on the forehead, which had the effect of stunning him. Inspector Humphreys stated that he was standing in the office at the time, with Inspector Reason, whose back was towards the door. He saw the defendant enter the room, and thought he was going to speak to Mr. Reason, but in stead of that the defendant drew a truncheon from under his coat and struck the Inspector a violent blow in the face, causing the blood to flew copiously. Mr. Reason fell, insensible, and the defendant renewed the attack in a cowardly manner, but witness and another officer succeeded in wresting the truncheon from his hand, during which be attempted to strike them also. The defendant said, "I have had my revenge, and shall have justice. Do what you like with me." Kirby, 3 A division, deposed that a few minutes before the occurrence the defendant came to him in Scotland-yard and said, " Kirby, lend me your staff, for I have left mine at home, and my coat doesn't hang well without one." Witness lent him his truncheon, and the one now produced (with which the assault was committed) was the same. Mr. C. S. 'Watkins, the house surgeon of Charing-crow Hospital, deposed to having dressed a severe lacerated wound over Inspector Reason's left eye, caused by a severe blow. It had deprived hint of his sight, and witness consi dered it probable that he might not recover the use of that eye. The defendant, who had elicited, in cross-examination, that Inspector Reason had lately befriended him, by re commending him, with others, as deserving of an increase of salary, stated that the reason he had assaulted the in spector was, that he was not likely to get justice in any other way. He was the only Irishman among the lot of them, and the fact was that they did not like him to have a share of the public plunder.—He was committed. During the day there were two or three applications to Mr. Henry to settle cab disputes, but in each case the hirer was found to be wrong in his estimate of the distance, or at least declined to undergo the ordeal of measurement; and consequently had to pay the additional charges for time.
