The prisoners were undefended. l'he prosecutor who u a farmer, living at the Hatton,, near Wolverhampton, deposed that on the tinning of the •2'ith of January he went to a held on Isis farm in company with a policeman; ha there found the skin and entrails of a cheep which had been killed. He found a number of ' lic4marlui which he traced from the place where the sheep w.e. killed along the canal side in the direction of Wolver li impton. Prosecutor went afterwards to Wolserliampton, sore saw there portions of mutton, which he nonpareil with th • skin and they exactly corresponded. He also compared th.• .110 K, of the prisoners with the footmark., and nverall of those corresponded. The skin produced was identified by the prosecutor. Thomas Beans, • shepherd in the prosecutor's service, swore to the fact of the sheep having been stolen. Another witness, who lived by the side of the canal, near to prosecutor's farm, swore that on the night of the 24th of January, he saw the prisoners near to the lock about eleven o'clock. The prisoner Green was carrying • hag They wen all going in the direction of Mr. Beach's farm, which is about five miles from the spot.

He afterwards wont with the prisoners to the house of one Bentley, and he pointed out Garbett as the person who had brought a shoulder of mutton the witness had in his hand;' early on the following morning a breast and neck of mutton were found in the briek.vard, together with three pants of • shoulder; the whole was covered 41,,, with bricks and • bag : knives and. a Ppoos were also picked up, which appeared to have been recently used. Parts of the dress of some of the prisoners were coveted with blood ; the footmarks in the field, which was newly ploughed, also corresponded with the boots worn by the prisoners Jame. and Green. Mr. Chad, • butcher at Wolverhampton, saw part of two shoulders, the bead. and a neck of mutton in the possession of a policeman on the _7th of January. In his opinion the shoulden had not been taken from the sheep by a butcher. Portions of thew joints corresponded with the skin found on the Said. A winter, named Prances, who had been in the police station with the prisoners, said that James confessed to him that they had slaughtered a sheep, and that he hoped they would sot be found out ; farther said that they had sold sixteen shillings' worth no Bentley ; that they had been asleep and co ok ed • part of the mutton in idillington's brick-wank where the prisowers were found. and they bad left limit& and • pert tei the bend en the held.

Too much reliance (he add) must nut be plaited on any evidence of that kind, it being always open to a good deal of suspicion. The prisoners were all found Go.lty, as was also an old man named Beritkiy, charged with rixeiving the mutton, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Wad. said that the pros:cut/sr had bad no leas than three sheep stolen from the .3111 e field.

MIDL.LND CIRCUIT.—Arens, Miarll 11. The :wises closed at 7 o'clock hat night. 31e. Justice Coleridge was occupied from 9 o'clock in the morning until half-past Gat night with the trial of twelve men, charged with the St:stelae I'ark poaching affray, in which one poacher was shot on the spot and a gamekeeper nearly killed. The names of the prisoner. are—John Chapman, W. Sheppard, J. Sheppard (son of William), IV. It urriU, Robert Grundy, W. Clarke, J. Wilde, W. Dobbs, John Ergots, !oho Goodtad, George Curs, and Thomas the major part of them residents at Buboner in this county. Gentr.,e Cutts pleaded guilty. The evidence went to show that the primness were seen snore or less together at public houses at Bolsoeer on the ' Saturday night of the affray. Seared& Park is two miles from Bolsoeer. The prisoners, with the exception of Worrill and a man named Rhode., were seen to go in the direction of the perk by a woman with whom Rhodes was connected, and who was anxious to prevent his going. Rhodes was in toxicated, and said he would go this once and then give over. One of the parties lead • sword, several were armed with gun., and the rest with bludgeons. Their face were blackened with soot. and a piece of white ribbon was tied round one arm of each person, to distinguish themselves from any other party. They got to Searchffe Park shout 1 o'clock, at which time Booth (the head keeper), Farmer (the under keeper). and five tentere were in a cabin in the park. These parties heard a gun ged, and they then left the cahiu and proceeded towards what is called the ride near to the wood. Farmer gave Booth his gun ; the rest of the keepers had sticks in their hands. It was agreed to divide the party, Booth and two others going stnkhtforward, and Farmer and three others taking a circuit. Booth advanced a little before his two comrades, the gun hanging down under his left arm, and having • stick in his Aght nand. On getting nearer, • second gun was fired, and Booth caw two men come out of the wood into the ride. They cried, " Heigh-up, heigh-up and the whole body of poacher. came out of the wood and ad vanced towards Booth in • menacing attitude. Booth com menced a retreat, and the poachers set upon him, he en deavouring to ward off the blows with his gun and stick as well as he could, and begging of the poachers to be men and he merciful, stating that tiny were too strong for them, and that there would be no resistance, and they might take the game. So far from desisting, according to evidence, they continued to press upon him se he retreated with his face towards them, and Chapman,. who had a sword in his hand, struck Booth dewu with a violent blow upon the head, inflicting a fearful gash and clean cutting through the bone, and separating two pieces of the scull, which were produced iu court. Whilst down he cried for mercy, but they beat ben with their gun stocksand bludgeons. Seeing that the poachers were about to turn upon them the other two keepers ran away. When Booth was struck down with the sword, all that he remembered was bearing a gun go off and seeing something fall near to hini.The person who fell was Rhodes, who, it was stated, was beating Booth ; and whilst the' latter was warding off the blows with his gun and stick the gun went off and shot Rhodes, who fell, and died shortly after he was conveyed home by his comrades. Booth heard a voice say, "On into him." Amongst other injuries Booth received, the small bone of nee of his legs was broken, seve ral wounds were inflicted on his head, and his hand was eerioudy injurd. The under-gamekeeper, Farmer and his party, hearing the report of the gun and Booth's cries for mercy, hastened to the spot, and as they approached they heard a gun snap, but it did not goo ff; and when nearer one of the poachers levelled his gun at Farmer, saying he had a good mind to give him sonic of it, but the urn was drawn away by an other poacher, who said `• there was enough done already." Flint, one of the teeters, and Farmer, conveyed Booth to a cottage, where a cart was obtained, and he was taken home and medical aid procured. Ile remained in immi nent danger for some time, and had to have medical at tendance twice a day for a fortnight. The jury, after consulting, acquitted John Sheppard, the bey, and found all the others Guilty on the third count, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. His lordship, in an impreweve address, sentenced the prisoners is. follows:—Chapman to he transported for life; W, Sheppard for 15 years; Grundy, Clarke, Dobbs, and Thom. Cutts for 10 years each; George Cutts to be im prisoned and kept tee hard labour fur 2 years ; and Worrill , Esime, Gooillail, and Wilde, IS months' imprisonment, with hard labour. LEICF:iTER, 111AR0.1 19. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Coleridge arrived at I , Leicester to-day, awl having opened the commission for the county the court was adjourned until nine o'clock on Thursday morning. Mr. Justice Coleridge then proceeded to the Town Hall, and disposed of the °lily case for trial, in which the prisoner was charged with manslaughter. Ile was found guilty and sentenced to nine tutiaths' imprisonment. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YoaK, 141.azu 18. Cameo corm—Baroas Ma. tisane purr. 'rut CRAROX or M•NSLAVORTIR AGAINST A MAGI/1111AT*. At the opening of the court this morning Joshua Ingham, Esq., chairman of the West Riding bench of magistrates, surrendered, charged, upon the coroner's inquisition, with the manslaughter of a child at Dewsbury. The learned Judge stated that there was no necessity for Mr. Ingham appearing in the dock, whereupon Mr. Bien shard said !that it WAS Mr. Ingham 's own wish to do so, so that there might be no distinction between him and any other person charged with a similar offence. The jury having been sworn, Mr. Illanshard said that Mr. Ingham was the owner of some collieries in the neighbourhood of Dewsbury, from which there was a trainroad, on which the coal waggons are worked, by means of a rope. This tramrosid is crossed by a public road. and the cause of the accident was the de ceased running across the tramroad whilst the waggons were in motion. Ilis lordship, in his charge to the grand jury, had referred to the present case, and the grand jury having ignored the bill, he (Mr. Illanshard) felt it to be his duty to say that he was not in possession of evidence which would in law be sufficient to call upon Mr. Ingham to answer the charge, and therefore it would be the duty of the jury to acquit him, Mr. Serjcant Wilkins said that ho was instructed to state that no person could possibly regret the melancholy affair which had taken place more sincerely than did Mr.lngham, and no one was more anxious to maks reparation so far as he possibly could. Mr. Ingham had already done, and should continue to do, everything in bis power, to prevent a i repetition of such a melancholy occurrence. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. EXTRAORDINARY CAISZ Or FRATD.—Hzin AT LAW SOCIETIES. . Hugh Williams and Edward Kay were charged with ob taining money under false pretences. There were a variety of counts in the indictment. Mr. Hall stated the case. The prisoners at the bar stood charged with obtaining money under false pretences, and conspiracy to defraud various persons. The pretence adopted by the two prisoners was that pretence which is very tempting in this country, viz., to obtain cheap law. They found the prisoners acting together as agents for • society, purporting to be " The Legal and Equitable l'ro tedium Ollice'*—Williams7aeting in London on its behalf and Kay at Leeds. This sucietylwas said to be under the ma nagement of John Ross and others who carried on busi ness under the firm of "John Martin and Co." The pretensions of this society are "to assist such persons tin reclaiming and recovering such property as in justice they are entitled to, making no charge until that object is effected, and then only a moderate charge for agency upon it." In order to connect Williams and Kay, he read a letter, dated " 19th Feb., HMO," addressed by Williams to Kay, which was headed "Re Cockcroft and Others," and Williams undertook in this letter to conduct the case, which was a claim put forward by Cockcroft to the ownership of a hall near Leeds, called Burleigh Wood Hall. The neat document found upon Williams was beaded " Dec., 1949. Legal Protection Office." It gives • list of the managers, and number of cases taken by them tato the Court of Chancery ; then followed a list of bills, Yd 32 eases in which bills were about to be filed in that mart, among which was "Cockcroft and Others." The learned counsel went on to show that shortly afterwards Williams left "The Legal Protection Society," and began business for himself, still, however, retaining Kay at Leeds as his agent. In a letter dated March 6, 18.50, signed by Williams and addressed to Kay, he wrote in confidence to Kay, telling him that, as the parties interested were strangers to him (Williams), he (hay) should not let them see his letters, nor make the matter known to Mr. Row, as he did not wish to prejudice the latter, or to be on un friendly terms with him. The case of Cockcroft had been first in the hands of the Heir-at-law Society, and then in the hands of Martin and Co., and in this ease they had received several small sums from Cockcroft, telling him that they had taken the opinion of Mr. Watson in the case. The opinion of this gentleman was unfavourable to the snit of John Cockcroft. Then they represented that Wil. liana had taken the opinion of Mr. Bowler, who appeared to favour the claim. Thus they induced the plaintiff in Ibis case to advance small sums of money from time to tat. The case was conducted almost entirely by letters, sMilairveral sums of money had been obtained from the =fromtime to time on a variety of false pretences. rued counsel then read a number of letters showing imam frauds. its effoets, there would be no doubt then that that was the agent used by the prisoner, and a sentence of tninsportation would assuredly he passed upon her. A juryman said his brother jurors fully concurred in the ousel-ratios of the learned judge as to severe measures being adopted to repress the system of robbery by means of chloroform. The foreman said he had recently witnessed an operation performed on a horse whilst under the influence of chloro form. In less than two minutes after its application to the animal, complete insensibility was produced, and the opera tion performed —Sentence respited. Tim THIEVES KITCHEN. John Butler and John Carter, were convicted of having stolen some driving reins and a sack, the property of Messrs. Pratt and Sewell, the contractors, of Gray's-inn-lane. Cooper, 111 G, stated that the prisoner used to occupy the notorious place, called " The Thieves Kitchen," in Fox court, Carols-inn-lane. Since that den had been cleared out he had got a place of the same infamous description in Folwood's-rents, Holborn. Fisher, 127 0, said he had known Butler for the last two years, the whole of which time he had belonged to an in famous gang of burglars, pot stealers, and characters of every desenption, the head quarters of which was Fox court. The prisoners were sentenced each to nine months' hard labour. Mary Ann lratkins was indicted for having stolen from the person of George Leonard, a purse, containing Si. 144.6 d. Mr. Metcalf appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor was a courier attached to a foreign em bassy, and the robbery charged against the prisoner took place at the Smithfield Cat'le Show, in December last. The defence was, that it the time the robbery was com mitted the prisoner was at Birkenhead. This was the an swer made by her to the charge when she was taken into custody in Regent-street, and evidence was given to show that it was true.—The prisoner was Acquitted. ' - - A SAVAGE. Jerenuah Leary, a savage looking Irishman, was indicted I for assaulting William Sullivan. Mr. Ilirnie defended. ' This case arose out of a quarrel at a public house. The prosecutor, an elderly man, and the prisoner were country men and shopmates, and they had a quarrel upon some tri fling matter whilst drinking together. The prosecutor went into the street, and the prisoner followed him, knocked him down, and whilst he was lying on the ground the prisoner with the ferocity of a wild beast flung him self upon him and bit off his under lip to the extent of an inch in length, and rather more than half an inch in width. lie declared he would also bite off his nose, but fortunately the interference of some persons who were attracted by the old man's cries to the spot prevented the execution of the threat.—Guilty. lio was sentenced to eight months' im prisonment. - - - - THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. George Jackson, a lad about 15 years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having picked a gentleman's pocket. A young man who was walking along Tower-street just before the occasion, said—l saw the prisoner following a gentleman, and having seen him in auspicious circumstances before, I watched kim. Ile whipped a silk handkerchief, with great quickness, out of the gentleman's pocket, and turning down Harp-lane, hurried on, and when he got into Thames-street, turned suddenly about and began to walk back, in the most unconcerned manner. I stopped him and spoke to him about the robbery, and he made an attempt to trip me up, but I held him and gave him into the custody of a policeman. When he saw that it was useless to resist any longer he pulled the handkerchief from under his coat, and said " There it is." The prisoner assured the Lord Mayor that he was mis represented, and that he hoped his lordship would discharge bins, especially as nobody had ever charged him with any bad conduct before. The Lord Mayor—Now, prisoner, bow long is it since you have been at that bar before this day ? The prisoner—Never was here before, your Lordship, since I was born. Several policemen said the prisoner was known as a thief for some years, and had been sent to Britlewell and to the Conipter upon many occasions; that it was his practice in the teeth of the most conclusive evidence, to declare before the very magistrates who had committed him, that he never appeared in a police court upon any former occasion, and that his lordship had upon one occasion sent him for trial the result of which was a sentence of imprisonment for 12 months. The Lord Mayor—l remember him well, and I believe he made the reply he has just tootle upon that occasion. The Prisoner—No, your lordship, I never said a word at all at that time. (Laughter.) Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) said the prisoner hail been repeatedly at the lmr at which he then stood, and that he had been known upon being discharged from prison to levy contributions in the usual way. The Lord Mayor—The prisoner is committed for trial, and let copies of his former convictions be produced in the court. If he be let out to prey upon the public during the approaching Exhibition, I shall take care not to be a consenting party to his liberation at any rate. The respon sibility must rest upon other shoulders. I have of late committed numbers of notorious thieves, and I trust that justice will be done to them at the more serious tribunal to which I have sent them. The prisoner was then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. G. Cannon, cab-driver 9,148, was summoned for de manding more than his legal fare. Defendant drove prosecutor, Mr. Freeman, and two other gentlemen from the Brighton Railway to 186, Fleet street, and on their arrival at the latter place demanded and obtained 201., the I. gal fare being Is. 4d. Prosecutor desired that his license might be marked. Defendant said that he was labouring under the belief that he could charge 811. for the extra passenger; but having found out his mistake he was now willing to return the money. Alderman Hunter said that he would not deal with the ease as though it had been a wilful overcharge. If he was licensed only for two persons in his vehicle, then be might object to taking a third, but he must make his objection before starting out, but he could not charge any extra fare on that account. lie would not mark his license this time, but would merely order the defendant to pay the cost of the summons, 35., and return the amount of overcharge. CLERKENWELL. John James French, a young man described as a book• seller and stationer, of No. 30, Great Quebec-street, New road, was charged by Oliver Holmer, of Rodney-street, Pentonville, with conspiring with two others in defrauding him of 351. Prosecutor stated that he had only been in London a week. On Tuesday afternoon last he was walking along Oxford-street, when the prisoner called alter him, " Hallo, Jackson, how do you do ?" Witness said, " That is not my name." The prisoner then apologised, and invited him to take a glass of porter, to which he consented, and they entered a public-house, where they met with another man, whom the prisoner called " Jem." He commenced talking about steeple chasing, and con gratulating themselves in not having gone to the Bromley Steeple ('hare, in consequence of the wet weather. Wit ness told them that he was going to the Edgeware-road, and they proffered to show him the way, when they entered a coffee-shop. A Frenchman, wearing dark blue spectacles, entered, and he was addressed by the prisoner, who pro posed tossing for gin and rum-and-water and half-a-crown, then for Gs., all of which the prisoner won. Ile then pro posed to toss the Frenchman for a sovereign or nothing, and the foreigner was successful, and ho then said he would not toss again for less than 101., 201., or 301. The prisoner replied, " I have only got a 61. note." The Frenchman then left the place, when the prisoner suggested to witness to pledge his watch, &c., which he consented to do, and " J cm" accompanied him to a pawnbroker's, where he pledged his watch for 31., which he lent to the prisoner, and he laid down a 31. note, together with the 31., in " Jem's " hands. The Frenchman covered it with 91. 10s., won the toss, and received the money. The prisoner asked witness if he had any more money, to which he replied that he had 35 sovereigns at home, and they drove to his residence in a cab, when witness brought out 3.51. in gold, and they drove off to a coffee-house in the New-road, when the Frenchman put down 451. and it being covered the money was tossed for, and the foreigner won it and left the place, and " dem" fol lowed him. The prisoner and witness went to look after them, when they entered a heershop, where theprisoner met with a tall man whom he told that he had lost money in tossing, and he (the prisoner) left by the back way, and on going after him witness saw him trying to make his escape over a wall, when he pursued and gave him into custody. He took witness to Mr. Buffery's, gas fitter, of Wit:Acad. street, Somers-town, and asked Miss Buffery to lend him three sovereigns, which she declined doing, when he took three sovereigns from his pocket and said to her, " Pretend to lend them to me." She said they were a gang of swindlers, and ought to be given into custody The French man proposed that he would back me to run a race with the prisoner for 401. or 501., which I agreed to. John Pooley, 286 5, took the prisoner into custody. Ile found on him six sovereigns, a pocket book, and a skeleton • key, also a betting book, and an account of several returned transports. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner. It was a sue in which the detective police ought to use every exertion to bring the parties forward. The betting hook, referring to transports, was one that no respectable trades man would carry in his possession. Mr. Herring suggested that bail might be taken for the prisoner's appearance. Mr. Wakeling said it ought to be indisputable security. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it must be heavy and responsible bail. The prisoner was hailed and liberated. Our reporter has been requested to state that the half of a 61. note, 65,304, has been forwarded to the poor box of this court by " W." Patrick Toomey, a labourer, was charged with ill-using I his wife, turning her out of doors, and discharging a gun at her while in the street. The complainant said that her husband was in the habit of beating her with great barbarity for some considerable time past, and on the night before he struck her and turned her into the street. He also threatened to shoot her, and while she was in the street he discharged a gun. She could not say how it was charged, but she was sure that her husband had plenty of powder and shot in the house. She could not say that the prisoner presented the gun at her, but his general conduct was such that she went in fear of her life. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said his wife was of so jealous a disposition that she never gave him a moment's peace of mind. Mr. Elliott convicted biro in a penalty of 40s. for the assault, or 20 days' imprisonment, and also ordered him to God bail for his goad behaviour for one month. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—CARNARVON, MARCH 17. STRANGE r. W A LKEIL—ACTIoN FOE FALSE AEItEsT. This was a special jury case to recover damage's from the late likrh Shenff of the county fur false arrest. Plaintiff, Mr. Strange, of London, was on n visit at Tyibly n Helen, near Carnarvon, the residence of Mr. Burr , etto ' of whom the officers were inquest, having a writ from the High Sheriff to take him into custody for debt. On the 6th of Novem ber last, the men entered Tyddyn Helen and inquired for Mr. Barrett°. Ann Jones, a servant, ;called to her master, and was answered by plaintiff, who, oa appearing, was im mediately taken into custody, although ho repeatedly asserted that he was not the party. The servant also , stated that he was not Mr. Durrett°, but the offi cers cautioned her against attempting to deceive them. Plaintiff then desired the bailiffs to send for a friend, who would identify him, but they refused to du so. The defence was, that the arrest of the plaintiff was facili tated by his own connivance, in order to give Mr. Burretto on opportunity to quit the premises. Witnesses were called to prove that the plaintiff had equivocated with the bailiffs for some time, before stating hi. name. Verdict for plaintiff. Damages Is. SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT,—CARKARTnex, Mental 19. etarese M. remelt VAVOKAIe THE LAUGHARNE POISONING CASES. Elizabeth Gibbs, aged 28, described as a cook and dairy maid, was charged with the wilful murder of her mistress, Mrs. Scverne (the wife of a gentlemen of independent pro perty, residing at Langhorne), on the 21 st July , by the mi adnistration of a quantity of arsenic in tea; mad also with the wilful murder in her fellow-servant, Rebecca Uphill, on Sept. 23, by administering arsenic in broth. The prisoner pleaded " Not Guilty." Mr. Grove and Mr. Bowen conducted the prosecution. Mr. Lloyd Fitswilliams defended the prisoner. The evidence was very voluminous, the case in reference to the death of Rebecca Uphill (which was the first indict ment tried) having lasted from 9 a.m., until nearly half past 6 p.m. On the counsel for the prosecution proposing, en his opening address, to detail some circumstances connected with the death of Mrs. Severna, prisoner's counsel objected to the reception of evidence on another indictment not , before the court, as tending to prejudice the jury. Mr. Grove cited two cases in support of the admissibility of the evidence, which was not offered to influence the mind- of the jury. but to negative the supposition that the poison had been administered by accident, such being less probable when two deaths had occurred, at different periods, than if one only had taken place. Ills lordship said that, with that view, be ruled in favour of the admissibility. From the evidence adduced it appeared that in the month of September last Mr. Severne's establishment consisted of himself (his wife having died in July) the pri soner, who acted as cook ; nets:tea Uphill, housemaid, who usually attended Mrs. Scverne during her life-time; Ann Beyer', another servant, and William Conick, in addition to one or two boy-servants, who did not sleep in the house. In the morning of September 21st the deceased, Rebecca Uphill, was in her usual health, but after partaking of dinner prepared by the prisoner, she complained of a burning sensation in the throat, and vomited violently. The prosecution, however, did not rely upon the circum stances of the 2lst, as deceased became better on the follow ing day. On the 23rd deceased felt considerably better, and proposed to prisoner that she (deceased) should have some broth for dinner. Prisoner made broth out of cold mutton chops., part of which had been eaten by her master on the preceding day. While the broth was on the fire prisoner asked deceased to go to the garden for some pars ley, and during her absence Ann Beynon, another servant, saw the prisoner throw something white into the broth. She thought nothing of the circumstance, believing it, to be oatmeal. Deceased took about two tea-cups full of the broth out of a basin. Ann Berson took about one tea cup full. Both immediately felt a burning sensation in the throat. They asked prisoner what could be the caner, and she replied, •• It must he the pepper, or the chops have become sour." The deceased was seized with the most violent vomiting; was externally cold and shivering, but felt an intense internal heat. Her master sent for a sur geon, who treated her fur English cholera. Deceased ex pired at 11 o'clock that night. The girl Bey nun was seized with similar symptoms in a much less violent degree, and she re covered. It likewise appeared that prisoner (who had par taken of none of the broth) requested a woman to throw the remainder into the pig's trough, which was at the time half full. Although thus diluted one of the pigs was found dead next morning, while the others were sick. The woman, after throwing away the broth, observed a white sediment adhering to the saucepan, and on remarking upon the circumstance to the prisoner, she took the saucepan out of her hand and washed it. With respect to Mrs. Severne's death, which was introduced as a circumstance in the caw, it appeared that prior to Sunday, July 21, this lady had been occasionally ailing, her symptoms being, however, very different from those subsequently manifested. On that day Mr. Sevenic and the deceased Uphill went to church, the other servants went to chapel, leaving Mrs. Severn, prisoner, and a boy named Jervis at home. The prisoner attended upon her mistress. Ott Mr. Severne's return h• church he found his wife suffering from violent vomit ing, great exhaustion, and internal heat. Externally she was very cold, especially the extremities. Her face was exces sively livid. Medical assistance was procured, but she died that night, it was then supposed from cholera. These sym toms had manifested themselves immediately on taking some CaMMOMlie tea, prepared by the prisoner. No suspicions were excited until September, after the death of Rebecca Uphill. An inquest was held on her body, and the contents of the stomach and viscera were forwarded to Mr.llerapath, an a !Weal chemist, of Bristol, who extracted large quantities of arsenic from them. Mrs. Severne's body, and that of the pig were then exhumed, in each of which Mr. Ilerepath found more than sufficient poison to account for death. There was no positive evidence tracing arsenic to the pos session of the prisoner, but it was shown that two or more years before Mr. Severne had procured a pound of arsenic for the destruction of rats; a part only was used, and the remainder kept in a store-room. Although a minute search was made, no portion of this could be found after Rebecca Uphill's death. The wife of a drug gist also deposed to her belief of having sold a penny worth of arsenic, nearly a year before, to a woman called Peggy, who was in the habit of going errands for the pri soner. This woman, however, did not remember the cir cumstance, and the druggist's wife was by no means positive. Several witnesses deposed to conversations with the pri soner, in which the latter had predicted Mrs. Severne's death, or that of some other person, as she had seen " corpse candles" about the house, and heard the howling of doge, de.. After her mistress's death, it appeared that prisoner had received a notice to quit. In speaking of the deceased, Uphill, and the other servant, Septum, she had said, "These devils who came after me have made me lose my place, but they shall go before me, in the same way as mis tress did." To another witness she had said, "I never thought I should leave Biaton, as mistress often said I should be master's second wife." (It was said that the late Mrs. &male had been a lady's made to some members of the family.) On showing Uphill's body to another wit ness, prisoner said, " Who should think that this devil could have made me lose my place ?" and then, " I hope, how ever, she is in heated.' A female servant in the gaol, who had once been con victed of larceny, deposed to conversations with prisoner, in which the latter had virtually confessed the crime. Little reliance was, however, placed on her testimony. For the defence it was contended that the arsenic procured by Mr. Severne, and placed in the store-room where the chest of oatmeal was also kept, might have fallen into the chest when the oatmeal was low. That this oatmeal might then have been used to make gruel for Mn. Severne ; that then the chest might have been refilled; but, when used down to the impregnated oatmeal in two months, the remaining portion of arsenic was again taken up, being mixed with the oatmeal used to thicken Rebecca Uphill's gruel. It, however, appeared that the remaining oatmeal in the asst had been used by the family after Uphill's death, without any injurious consequences. His lordship, in summing up, remarked that what most went against the prisoner was, the great improbability that the two deaths had occurred through accident. What was greatly in her favour was, the entire absence of adequate motives for so dreadful a crime, and no arsenic being di rectly traced to her possession. The jury retired soon alter 6, and in ten minutes brought in a verdict of ,Not Guilty. The indictment in the case of Mrs. Severne's death was proceeded with , commencing t hrlf put si:, before the same jury, with a similar result. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAT. Parma Me. Ssiumrr Mums, HPHIFHir Anal. ROBBERY AND CHLOROFORM. glary Ann Mayne, a masculine-looking woman, was in dicted for having stolen a purse and nine sovereigns and other moneys, the property of John Evenson, from his person. The particulars of this case appeared in yesterday's Expreu, under the head of Worship -street polce-court. The prisoner, in her defence, said the prosecutor had given her the money to treat the women he was in company with at her lodgings. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The learned judge said there was every probability that this robbery was effected by , means of chloroform, and the practice of committing such serious offences in that manner was one which must be met by a very strong resistance. He should defer passing sentence until next session to allow time for inquiries to be made, and if it turned out that chloroform would not produce insensibility in the short space of time the prosecutor had mentioned, the prisoner might escape transportation, but it on the other hand, it appeared that chloroform would so instantaneously produce WINDING-UP OP JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. • --- NATIONAL DRY MANURE COMCANY.—Yestersihs, a meeting of the shareholders in this company was held be fore his Honour Master Ferrer, to make, in addition to a call of 6s. per share previously made, a concluding call of 21. per share, to pay off liabilities. Mr. Harding, the offki..l manager, presented his report, which stated the present amount of claims proved, and that may be proved against the company, at 1,2991. • but which sums would be com promised fin 9001., the manager having succeeded in inducing the creditors to take a compensation of 13s. 4d. in the pound. Eleven other claims, amounting to 5,7121., had been successfully disputed and disallowed. The amount still due from contributories in respect of the first call was 2,601/., of which it is estimated only 1301. will now be recovered, there being no rower than 8,710 shares out of tho 11,940 settled on the list, from which, owing to the owners having become insolvent, nothing is expected to be recovered. The proposed call of 21. per share is calculated to produce 1,2001. Mr. Hudson, on behalf of Mr. Alexander, holder of 100 shares, opposed the call both as to form and amount. After considerable discussion his Honour declared the call payable on flth April next, in timating that he would give Mr. Alexander another meeting to show cause on his own account against it, and observing that it was no part of his duty ur desire to deal harshly with individuals in carrying out an unusually harsh act of parliament. KOLLMANN'S RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY.— Yesterday, after considerable discussion, his Honour, Master Kintlerdey, declared a final call of 91. per share on the shareholders in this company, which it is estimated by Mr. Geodchap, the official manager, will suffice to wind up the affairs. The call is made subject to the right of the repose , sentatives of Mr. Cowper to show cause on his behalf against it. MARKETS. PEVERSTICRO, MARCH 8.

Dour LocostonvE ENGINE.4.—On the 3rd of August last an engine called the Little England was for warded to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, under a guarantee that she was to work their express trains between Edinburgh and Glasgow, consisting of seven carriages, to keep good time as per time bill, and not to consume more than 10 lbs. of coke per mile ; if she did that to the satisfaction of Arlie, the company's engineer, they should purchase her fur 1,2001. Mr. Adic placed one of the best engines belonging to the company, called the Sirius, to run from the opposite end, at the same hours, and with a similar train, in order to compare the one with the other. They worked well, the Sirius starting the morning trip from Edinburgh, and the Little England from Glasgow. They then chanced; and the Sirius started from Glasgow and the Little England from Edinburgh, thus making a fair division of the work, and the result proved that the small engine kept better time than the larger one. Her consumptionof coke was 81b. 3 oz. per mile, while that of the Sirius was tJlb. 1 oz. per mile. 11w Little England would frequently run a mile in 60 seconds, and something less. She started with less slipping, and could be brought to a stand in much less distance than the large engine. She is now running the express trains between Edinburgh and Glas gow, consisting of five carriages, with a consumption of only Gillas. of coke per mile. During the heavy gales and bad weather which prevailed in the early part of January, she was the only engine upon the line that kept time.—Bury Post. CARD SIIARPERS.—At the Manchester Borough Court, on Monday, a respectable-looking young man, named Patrick M'Ginnis, was charged with being one of a party who had deluded a person out of 51. The complain ant, henry Ingle, of Great Heaton, stated that on Saturday evening be was met in Miller's-lane by a man whom he took to be a farmer's servant, and who asked him what time the train started for Ashton ; adding that he had come from Stretford about a pony that was stolen. He desired witness to go into a public-house with him, and he would give him his master's address, so that if he should happen to see the pony, he might send the information to Stretford. They went into the Crown and Cushion, where there were three men playing at cards. They asked him to play, he did not understand cards, but he played first for ss. which he lost. They had three cards, one of which was a king of some kind, and he who drew the king out of the three was to win. The man who went in with him turned up the corner of one of the cards, so that it might be recognised by witness, and then told him to bet 21., and he would be sure to win. Ho simply did as he was told, and the card he drew was not a king, and the prisoner took up the 21. He was led to try again, but lost another 2/. Perceiving then that the men were all acting in concert, and that the farmer's servant had only been the "decoy bird," he went and informed the pollee, but the men were gone when they arrived. An officer stated that ho apprehended the prisoner, and found three cards upon him, it. Is. in money, and flash coins, being imitations of sovereigns and half-sovereigns.— Mr. Maude pointed out to the complainant the folly of his being so easily deluded. He intimated to the prisoner that had the evidence against him been a little more conclusive, he would have been sent to the sessions.—He was dis charged.
