Already fifty-two applications for loses, sweennting to 721,601., had been reported upon, and the proposed weeks inspected up to the present date. Of that amount 597,463/. [about 600.0000 tad been ordered ly the Poor-law Board. The balance between these amounts was chiefly made up by proposed works which were not yet decided to come whine the intentions of the Public Works Asa No delay had occurred between the receipt of the plans and estimates and the inspection cud report of the =ied works. Intimation has been rece i ve d f rom ot h er glpi and townships of forthcoming applications sinounting to about 750,000/., in addition to the sum previously reentioued, making, with the coders issued, a sima of 1,360,0001. The works already reported upon were all of a permanently beueficial character—mainly sewerage mid road and street improvements—and afforded employ ment for a large per mega of unskilled labour. There had been no difficulty in providieg work fur from 8,000 to 10,000 labourers upon public works for which loess were already ords..d by the Poor-law Board. Moth more work might be undertaken, aed with greatly kiproved results, if the local authorities would, where needful, provide their surveyors with additional office men tame, and outdoor superinteodence. The want of these wasa far more serious Liodnince to the progress of works, of any lack of skill on the part of the distressed epsrativea Provided the weath. r was dee and open, it weald not he difficult to employ 20,000 or 30,000 operatives upon useful public works by the commencement of the cew pear.

We was an setae to reuoveitiUDl. oCuumieeioe for nego tiating certain loans fur the the defendant, Bar R. Clifton, But.. M.P. for Nottingham. The defendant pleaded never indebted. _ _ _ Mr. J. Brown end Mr. Tripling were ocoussel for the plain tiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Talfourd Seater for the defeeda o a The plaintiff, Mr. Marshfield Mum, alleged that he was engaged by the defendant to negotiate a loan of 65,000/. for the rumors of paying off certain mortgagee cud judgment creditors, and that having obtained the criesent of the Guardian office to admix., the sum on certain terms Sir Robot repudiated it. The defendant's affairs in 1858, the time referred to, were in a complicated state, and he was Isopelmely embarrassed. After plaintiff was engaged it was proposed that certain undisputed mortgages and judgment debts should be bought up for 25,000/., and 40,0001. applied to the liquidation of the other claims. At an interview be tween the plaintiff, Sir Robert Clifton, Mr. Flower, Mr. Humphrey, and others, it was proposed that a Mum deed should be executed to secure the 25,0001. (but Sir Robert declined unless he was paid 1,0001.), and the amount ad vanced by Mr. Flower, Mr. Humphrey. and others, who were not to have a bonus of 2,000/. for so doh* Several witnesses were called in support of the plaintiff's ems, and amonpt When the secretary to the Guardian Assurance.offioe. On the 4th of May the plaintiff wrote • letter to the actuary, applying for a loan of 63,0001., for the defendant. He wrote to the plaintiff for the name of the defendant's solicitor, end he received in answer the name of Mr. Kingdou, of King's Anne-yard. The applies, than wee then laid before the board, and the secretary com municated to Mr. Kingdoo the resolution of the board, dated the 12th May, in • letter stating that the board of directors had entertained the proposal for 63,0001. in two payments of 40.0001. and 25,0001., to be secured on bin life interest on landed estates in Nottinghamshire, producing a rental of 7,294/. 14s. 1111., and a sum of money in the funds is the name of trustee, producing 1.2901., making together 8,5141. 14s. 1 Id., subject to the following deductions :—A life annuity to the Dowager Lady Clifton of 8001. per annum, and to Lady Bruce of 4001.: premium on insurances of 41,0001. held by trustees, 9581. 15e. 10d., making a total of 2,1581. 15• 10d., thereby reducing the income to 6.3581. 17s. Id., with which was to be included in the security the life interest of the defeadast in the Barton estate belong ing to Sir A. Clifton. estimated at 3,9001. per annum, mak ing together 9,8551. 19s. Id. There was also enclosed in the letter a resolution come to by the board of directors to the following effect, via. : That the proposed be entertained at the rate of 5i per met., redocable to 41 per cent. on peso tual payment. 'abject to the following conditions : That the defendant's life should be insured at the ordinary rates, and that existing policies amounting to 44,5001. be transferred as part of the security, and that a farther assurance to the extent of 25,500/. should be effected with the office, =eking together 70,0001. The security win to be • first charge upon the estates. The security to be investigated by the company's solicitor, and all expound to be paid by the borrower, whether the loan was granted or not. If the security was deemed sufficient ; the borrower's acquiescence was to be communicated within ten days, and if the negro Makes proceeded the borrower was to engage to complete the *warily within three mootbe. To that a letter was received by the office from Mr. Kingdoe, accepting the loan on the conditioes therein mimed. The defendant wee examined by the medical men of the company for the in surances, and they were reedy to make the loan as soon as the conditions were carried out. The matter, however, went off from the inability of the parties to comply with the cooditions. Mr. Hawkins, for the defendant, rid the action bad bra brought hoping he would compromise the metre rather than have his pecuniary affairs exposed is • court of justice, but the defendant bad thought otherwise, there being nothing to fear or be ashamed of. The delendant was the only son of a kind and indulgent father, who per mitted him to indulge is early youth in the most extra vagant of all amusenseuts, that of bone racing, and be got involved at the early age of between eighteen and nine teen, to those who were always ready, and too often pandered to the extravagance of young men of large expec tations. Long therefore before he berme of age he wan in considerable debt, and I. 1858 be was involved to the enormous extent of 100,000 J., his bills having been renewed in many cases at the rate of between 70 and 80 per cent. He was obliged to leave Clifton-hall, and go to Paris in that year, and whilst be was abroad he was advised to apply to Mr. Kingdon as a person who could procure him sufficient money with which to clear off his incumbrances. He ac cordingly put Kingdon into pormaion of his circumstances, and directed him to proems • loan of sufficient amount with which to pay off the incumbmoces long before any application was made to the Guardian office, which owing to the misrepresentatior made to that office by the plain tiff was never carried out. Kiogdon was out of the way, and could not be called, and though he might have hired the plaintiff the defendant was not responsible. binoe that time money bed been obtained with which the defendant had paid the whole of his debts, and he was now living on bin estate at Clifton-6'll Bir Robert most posi tively denied that he ever refused to sign a trust deed unless he was paid 1,0001. ; in fact he would not consent to a trust deed on any terms, having already sufficiently suffered from them. Sir Robert Clifton and Mr. Davies, an attorney, for the de fendant. The latter had a mortgage foe 9,0001., and a judg ment to secure it for 17,0001. His claim wee not for money lent. He purchased up for the defendant between 20,000(. and 5,000/. worth of judgment debts for between 9,0601. and 10,000/. He took 6,5001. for his judgment. Hooey wee a marketable commodity, and debts were always to be bought up cheap for money. Six Robmt was out of the way for some time, but he was often in England. He need not to have left England, for it was not the interest of the judymeot debtor, to arrest him. Sir Robert never would have got into difficulties had it not been for a question that arose as the doctrine of adoption—!laughter)--with reference to a devise under his uncle's will. which sent the matter into Chancery. De. fendent put the matter entirely in Kimdon'a bands. The questions were whether the Menden; bad so recog nised plaintiff's services as to make him responsible for pay ment, or whether, amid/Mal to the euiploymeot of a solicitor to raise a loan, be sou empowered to employ an agent fit his client's expense. The ;ury ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant. SECOND COURT. Sitting at Nisi Prins at GuildhalL—(Before Mr. Juaties Blackburn and a Cononsou Jury.) 8131803 IP. BCLB/1111. This was an action to recoreromopsomition for false repro. natation as to the credit and respectability of a Mrs. Wheeler. The defendant pleaded lot guilty. Mr. McNamara was counsel for plaintiff ; Mr. Powell, Q.C., for the defendant. Tlie defendant is a clergyman, who bad resided in Ireland, but at present was the incumbent of Ashford, in Kent.

Mrs. Wheeler had directed her attorney to write tothedefeedmit, and been the 19th June, wrote to the plaintiff as well as to her solicitors, describing her as • person of respeetabilityand respoesibility, who might be trusted. It was alleged, on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant knew her to be is embarraseed circumstances at the time, he being party to a bill of Ode under which she had assigned her furniture as security for a debt. Mrs. Wheeler formerly resided with her daughter at Maids-hill, and the bill of sale bad reference to the furniture in that house. The landlord had distrained for rest, and a man was is poseeesioe. The defeedaut was applied to to assist In guying oat the landlord, but he stated at the time that he was unable to do so, as there were no available funds. Evidence was given to show that the defeodant had bean a 'reference in other caws, cod that furniture lied been sup phad by Mae and Co., for which they could not get paid, and which they had to take away from the house by force. Tbedefence was that it wan not sufficient to show that Mrs. Wheeler was insolvent at the time the reference was given, hut that the defendant when he made the reprearia. anion knew she was insolvent. The defendant was called to prove that Mrs. Wheeler wee person of means, being in receipt of annual remittances from her brother, who joined her late husband is a coffee plantation on the Malabar coast. In uses-exarnieation t►e defendant said he was reference for Mr. Mornam's furniture, and afterwards joined is a bill of .ale on it to the furniture dealer.

The d► fend/mei pleaded that the plaintiff was himself is their Gorses* at the time of the moldiest, sad that bevies b ees injured through the negligence of his fellow -servant, the company was cot liable. Mr. Joyce and Mr. Eyre Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., sod Mr. Buller for the defendants.

One of the company'. anisont., III&Mell Miller, was mwisting. and the plaiourf 'a case was that Miller, in spite of a worming to the contrary, removed s support from the case, which weighed 174 owt, and the ease fell over upon the plaintiff's legs. No bone was broken, but one log was driven into the other, mud the two were nearly smashed. Upon the turnips points of the case, the plaintiff's opinion was that he was employed by Mr. Clark, the station master, and was the servant of that gentleman and not of the company. On the other hand, Mr. Clark proved that the plaintiff was in the employ of the company; he (Mr. Clark) having power, subject to approval, to engage servants of the dale to which the plaintiff belonged. The Lord Chief Justice said that the law was clear, that if a servant was injured through the negligence of a fellow. invent the employer was not responsible. Verdict for the defendants. LBM Y. THZ CARBON CONPANY.—ZONNING DOWN • YACHT. The plaintiff in this case was a gentleman residing at Welwyn. in Hertfordshire, and he was also a member of the Thames Yacht Club.

Mr. uslake, Q.C., sod Mr. Philbrick, appeared for the ' plaintiff ; and Mr. Leah, Q.C., and Sir G. lionyman for the defendant.. It appeared that on the 21st June, 1862, the plaintiff took a party of friends in the Night-thought, which was a vessel of 65 tons burden, to witness a race upon the Thames. They were accompanying the yachts up stream soon after six in the evening, aud wh . en between Purfleet and Crayfordoess the collision happened. The Thames struck the Night-thought such a violent blow that had it bees deli vered amidships she must have gone down ; but the blow was a sidelong one upon the bow, and therefore not so serious. As it was, however, a man was knocked over board, and it was feared that the yacht would sink, but she succeeded in reaching Erith, where the pert were landed. The damage deceit was agreed amounted to 360/., but upon the main question. who was in fault, the evidence was very conflicting, indeed so conflicting that upon a previous trial the jury were unable to agree, and were discharged erithout a verdict.

Hs was at the New-inn, with many others, and left at twelve o'clock at night. Witness, a man named Cole, and several others, left together. Some four or five of them remained in the street talking, and there was some practical joking, throwing pea haulms at each other. When they came near the prisoner's cottage they stood talking agsao. She came out, and said in a quiet way, Hove on, and witness said. " All right, m'azo," and went on up the street. One of the party threw some pea haulms at the pri soner, but be could not say that they struck her. She ran into the street and cried Murder." They continued throwing at her, sod she went back into the beam and abut the door.

Cole came up to him and said, "Oh, Fred, Pm a dead man. She has been and dabbed MIL" He saw that be was bleeding. Witeess saw her rush at some one elm, but could not see who it was, as it was dark. He afterwards heard that Haines bad been in jured, and he went back atd saw him lying in the street. Matilda Daniels stated that she beard a cry of murder at 12 o'clock at night. She ran out of her home and saw primmer and dimmed lying upon a heap of pea haulm. De she• was down, and prisoner was t he r him.

The prosecutors of this indictment were the trustees of a friend society celled the Journeymen Millwrights' Trede and Friendly Society, which holds its meetings at the Swan Tavern, Fish stresPhill. By one of the rules of this society it appeared that any member who had paid up his subecriptioos wan entitled, when out of work, to be paid 10s. per week, and the case on the part of the prosecution was that the prisoner, during the months of February and March of the present year, had claimed and received several payments of 10s. weekly from the society upon the repre sentation that he was out of work, the fact being that he was io regular employment at the time mod in the receipt of two guineas per week.

Mr. Sleigh said that attar the evidence that bad been adduced for the prosecution he did not feel himself justified in occupying the time of the jury by addressing them, but' he called soma witnesses to speak to the character of the prisoner. The jury having, without any hesitation, returned a ver dict of Guilty, The Recorder addressed the prisoner, and said that he bad been convicted of a most gross fraud. As a member of this society it was his duty to have protected their foods, and prevented them from being impos e d u p on , b u t inste a d of doing this it had bean clearly proved that be had ob tained several soma of money to which be bad no claim whatever, and without the least temptation, as at the time the act was committed he was in the receipt of wages to the amount of two guineas per week. He then sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. John Doable, 53, was charged with bigamy. bfr. Mr. Daly prosecuted, and the prisoner wee defended by This was a very remarkable case. It appeared that the primer was married to his first wife at Ipswich in 1842, and that they lived together for slakes years, when they separated. The prisoner was married • second time in March, 18.59, and it appeared that the brother of the first wife was present at both the manages and gave both the brides away, and he said that he explained to the second wife that the prisoner had been married before, and that his wile wag living, but that notwithstanding this she per sisted in having the ceremony performed. The second wife said sbe had no complaint to make against the prisoner, sad that he had been a good husband to her, and it appeared that she and the prisoner had cohabited together for twelve months previous to the second marriage, The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Recorder observed that the case exhibited • lament able want of morality, and he considered the brother uf the first wife !redacted very improperly, and ought to have been ia the dock with the prisoner, and be should order Diced expenses not to be allowed. The prisoner was sentenced to • month's imprisonment. (Before the Common &nitwit.)

In the letter be said he wanted the die fora very hard metaL Several letters afterwards paned between them. and it was agreed that the price should be SOL On tte day that the die was to be finished, the female prisoner went to the shop, when the die was banded to her, but the police had bean before conimuni. eated with, and she was at one taken into custody. At this stage of the proosedier Mr. Metcalfe said it would be impossible to fight against the evidence which would be Lid before them. He should therefore advise the man to Lad guilty. With regard to the woman, she was the We of Barlow, and was therefore bound to obey him L all things. The plea of guilty was then entered against the prisoner Barlow, and the female prisoner was by his lonithip's direc tions inquired.

It certainly was not the con duct of a urea skilled in crime to go about the business as the prisoner seemed to have done. Mr. Crsufnrd informed the jury that a complete galvanic battery and other instrument. bad been found for the manu facture of spurious wormy. Several counterfeit sovereigos bad also been found, u well as a die for their manufacture.

Wes. Bassos. 20, clerk, pleaded guilty to obtaining by false pretences from Thomas Bette the sum of 10/. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted. The circumstances of the case are somewhat singular. It appears that the prisoner is • clerk in London, and his father, who is a man of some property, resides in Dundee, and is acquainted with the prosecutor. This the prisoner wee aware of, and on the 29th of November he went to the prosecutor ai apparently in a state of very great grief. Mr. Betts a letter, which he stated he had that morning received from his brother in Scotland. It was se follows :—"Dear Brother, —ln reply I enclose you • cheque for 10/. to pay your lodging and railway fare home, as I am eorry to say our dear father is at death's door.

Mr. Betts at osos let him have the IW., but he had afterwards discovered that the wbole was an impious freed, that the letter was a forgery, and that the prisoner's father was quite well, sad as soon as he dis covered the circumstances be (the father) had sent him the 10/. he had given to his ma The prosecutor did not wish to press for punishment. The prisoner said he had got into bad company, but he was ♦ery sorry for what had occurred. The Commoa•Serjeent said he should be sorry to send the prisoner to gaol tor any long period. He should reserve sentence till next session. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the Assistant4udge.) Pierre Alfaint, 45, a 'odor, waa indicted for unlawfully attempting to assault and wound William Conley, and he was further indicted for feloniously attempting to commit self-murder. The prisoner, it appeared, was a person of imperfect in tellect, a foreigner by birth, but bad served in the British merchant service as an ordinary seaman. On the 4th of November the prosecutor Cooley found bim in the Bt. Katharine's Dock, where be (Costley) was immured as watch man, and at half-past 3 was about putting him out, when the prisoner said to him, " You have told them what I said of the captain." Do oley said he knew nothing neither of him nor the captain he was alluding to, upon which the Lprisoner drew from his right-hand pocket a long-bladed ife and struck sat him with it, bat fortunately he had a stick and warded off a blow which might have proved fatal. A constable on duty had seen the prisoner loitering about the F Quay, and hearing of the attempt he went to the spot, when the prisoner rushed at him with the knife in his band, and jumped on board a barge, and thin. he com menced stabbing himself in the throat and stomach, inflict ing npoa himself a fearful jagged wound. He bled very much, and, the barge being at a considerable depth from the quay, from the point from which the prisoner leaped, he had to be hauled up by a crane on to the quay, and taken to the London Hospital in a cab. At the name time the assault was committed on Conley the prisoner made a rush at the constable, r2O H, and he bad to draw his truncheon to protect himself, and when he attempted to cut his throat the policeman said he " sawed " away at it, but could not make the knife penetrate at the nest at tempt, but on making another attempt he thrust it into his lroat, and was then seized. For the defence it was urged that the prisoner was not of sound mind, and that his hallucination wee that be was being hunted about by a hundred policemen, that they would not permit him to live honestly, and ha had all Norte of other strange impression'. After a somewhat protracted trial his lordship summed up very carefully, and the jury found the prisoner Na Guilty on the ground of insanity, and it was ordered by the court that he should be detained until her Majesty's pismire should be known. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERKENWELL. Henry Herbert, of 6, Hope-terraoe, St. Mathias-rod, Stoke Newington, errs charged u follows :—" For that you on the 26th day of November, not being the person em ployed by or contracting with the pariah of St. Mary, Islington, or under Messrs. Dodd, the firm contracting with the said vestry, did unlawfully cony sway and collect ashes and dust from No. 9, Cleveland-road, Islington, contrary to the statute," leo. lir. Layton, vestry clerk, was in attendance to watch the owe, and produced the contract between the vestry sad Mr. Dodd. _ _ _ This it was stated, was the first case under the Metropolis Local Management Act in which persons have been con victed of stealing dust, and so annoying have the practices of a dun of persons known as " flying dustmen" become, that the contractor. have deterrniond to prosecute in every cam that comet under their notice. In addition to steeling the dust they muse a great annoyance by only removing what they think proper, and then demanding money for what they have done. Several complainta were made to Mr. Dodd of the practices of the defendant and another man that was with him, and Mr. Dodd at once took the oeoeseary measures, and succeeded in capturing the de fendant while removing tike dust from the house above men tioned. When spoken to about the matter the defendant said it was all right and that be wee the "regular dustman," but when told otherwise, he then said be was authorised to do what he was about by the contractor, and next said he was collecting the dust for a brickmaker. The prisoner set up for his defence that he was not aware that he was doing wrong, and said that be was instructed to collect the ashes by a Mr. Round, who, he said, had a right to them. . . . . The contract having been pot in, which showed that Mr. Dodd was the contractor for the particular part of the parish in question. The magistrate said that the case was clearly made out, and ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 20s. and caste, ----- The defendant, in reply to the ton is tr te, said he ha Ti no goods on which the fine and costs could be levied. The magistrate, in default, ordered the prisoner to be confined in the House of Correction for ten days. The prisoner, who said he had no money, was then re moved. ..... WESTMINSTER. A very respectable-looking woman, a native of Cork, about thirty years of age, applied to the magistrate to grant her a protection order against her husband. The applicant said that she was living in William-street, Rochester-row, in this district, and had been recently de serted by her husband, whose conduct hod always been very heartless towards her. She had when he married her pos sessed some money, which he soon dissipated. Subsequently she (the applicant) went out as wet nurse into a family, where, owing to her proper behaviour sod attention, she accumulated nearly u much as Sit., which she was recom mended to place in the savings bank, but her husband being acquainted with the fact that she possessed it, never let her have any peace until she bad withdrawn the whole of it, which he squandered away, and then he ill-treated bar because she bad no more.

William Wadly, Rickard Parker, and ElimbetA Smith, three well-ktiowa thieves, were brought before Mr. Wool rya, 'barged with stealieu • large of cloth, valued at two 'deem, the property of Mr. David Thomas, No. 3, OAm-street, Poplar. Oe Saturday night a respectable man, named Williams, • wheelwright, met the prisoners in the toughbourlsooti of the East lades-mad, Poplar. One of them was carryieg a rellref slo th . William immediately empected the °Loth 5, 1863. was stoles, sad followed the prisoners, and kept them in view until he met with • police-constable when he gave all this' into malady, andameted in securing them and takiog ogre of the property. The roll of cloth ins identified by Mr. David Thomas, from whose shop door it was stolen a few minutes before Williams met the pretests. Williams stated that he had to appear against two thieves who stole • new witney overcoat from the shop of Mr. Nicholas Dawson, a lioendraper is Crisp-street, slew days ego. He sew the robbery committed, and he followed the thieves. On reaching Limehouse Church one of them put on the coat. On meeting a constable be collared one of the thieves and directed the policeman to seise the other. Mr. Deady, inspector of the H. division of police, said Williams was a very useful man, Rod in both cases bad ex hibited much tact and intelligence. Mr. Woolrych said the conduct of Williams was deserv ing of great praise. He remanded the prisoners for • week. THE PALL OP A HOUSE AT ISLINGTON. After oar report left yesterday, Mr. Wan. CUpmaa, of Lovett-terrace, Victoria-road, Lim/house, said he was the builder*, the Whistabeet He built it from a specification of plans supplied by Mr. Wit ham'. It wes to be covered is by the 23rd of November, and the Longmont ready by the 7th of December. It was rather quick, but he had done another building in less time, but not at the ism, time of year. The weather made a great difference. If the surveyor bad given him hi/Studious not to proceed with the building, he should be bound to stop. That was the business of the surveyor. The builder was an swerable for the materials, and he knew that in this case they were of the beet quality. The mortar was three and one, which were the right proportions. Btouepit mod wee used, and stone lime. There wee no way of ascertaining whir ther the mortar wu dry except by trying the outside j °iota. He knew that, in one case the step could not be put in without striking the shore, but he gave no instruction about it. He did not think there would be any danger in striking the shore. Mr. Williams called his attention to the pier, and he ordered it to be done. He gaw the work was oommenced, bat he was not there the whale time. Witness gave in 'tractions that it should be chased, but he now found that it bad been toothed. He did not think it weed the slightest oonsequenoe whether it was toothed or thawed. He was present when the building fell. His attention was called to the centre piers by one of the men. He saw that they were beginning_ to creek, the left-hand pier more so than the other. He endeavoured to stop the progress of this by putting up shores on each side. The accident could not be avoided, and he could sot account for the piers bulging. By Mr. T. Atkinson—He had built two public-houses under the same architect, and had both engaged during the last seventeen or eighteen years on large contracts. He never had an accident before. He was well looked after by Mr. Williams, Mr. Moseley, and others during the whole time. The brestaummer, he believed, was quite sufficient without any pier at that side. By Mr. Bradlaugh—There was no strain oa the shore. If the pier had been weak there would have been a strain. Many questions were put by the legal gentlemen as to the cause of the accident, but little of consequence was elicited. Witham knew that the mortar would not set so well in wet weather as in dry weather, but be did not think there was any begird in proceeding with the work. Tbe coroner was asked whether be would like professional evidence as to the state of the building and the materials. He replied that, under the circumstances, he should not, as be knew that on the jury there were ,nary gentlemen who were competent to form an opinion on the subject, and be hod no power to pay professional men. In summing up he said the jury would consider whether the architect, by any oversight, gave in plans which would isemegarily lead to the house falling. If his plans were soffieient, they might pea that, matter over. Then they must ocasider whether the builder properly complied with all Feria of the plan. They had also to consider the time taw in the erection of the building, the cutting away of the shores, the state of the weather, the nature of the materials, and other points which had been given in evidence, bat with the details of which he need not trouble them. The jury retired at five minutes before four o'clock to roe• eider their verdict. They returned iota court at squirter past five. The foreman said he thought it right to say before he read the verdict and took the coroner's opinion upon it, that sixteen voted for it as it stood, and five were against • por tion of it. Be himself was amongst the minority. Be did not know how the circumstance might affect the verdict. The Coroner—Reed it and we will see. The Foreman—The jury all agree in the main point, that is a verdict of accidental death in both owe. But the jury are of opinion that the accident was caused by the insuffi ciency of the central piers, they being much too slight for the rpose ; and as they were built according to the plan of Mr. Williams, tee architect, they are of opinion that he deacon the severest censure. The Fcesman said it was the latter part of the verdict that he did not agree to. The Coroner said that be would enter a verdict of " Acci dental death." and thou the jury might embody their views in a resolution. This was done, end the protesdiap terminated. THE MURDER IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD. At the close of the business at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, the grand jury brought in, amongst others, a true bill against the prisoner. The unfortunate victim of the Imo Wright, although she has for the last ten years been diag an immoral life, formerly moved in • respectable sphere. She was married some years since to a man named Green, by whom she had two children. She was deserted by her husband, and for ' some time obtained a decent livelihood by working as a dressmaker and milliner, during which period she occupied a house in Garden-row, London-road, Southwark. She, however, fell into loose company, and ultimately took to the streets for the support of herself and children, whom she had placed out at school. A few months since, while living in 'l'enny•onatreet, York-road, Lambeth, she had a sum of money left her by ore of her relativ es , and unfortu nately then became addicted to habits of intemperance. About this time she made the acquaintance of the man Wright, and after • short time agreed to live with him, and support both on the wages of her prostitution. We are in formed t h at they frequently quarrelled about the proceeds of her immorality, and that she had repeatedly threatened to leave him, and • few days since had resolved to carry out her intention. Both the murderer and his victim had been drinking freely together on Saturday evening, and one of the usual quarrels about money took place. The following appears in the Advertiser:—" Sir,—ln • report of this mad ease which appears in your impression of to-day you state that the murderer (Wright) has been for some time past at work at the building now in course of erection for the Strand Music Hell—whith statement is iDCOMISM ; and u it has already caused the men employed on these works considerable annoyance, and will lead the public to associate the name of a murderer with them (for which association they have not the alightest ambition), they have requested me to write to you and state that the murderer has never at any time worked on this building.— I am, sir, yours respectfully, A. MACKZEDS, Timekeeper. Strand Dusk Hall Work., Dec. 14." THE MURDER IN WILTSHIRR.-011 Sunday the murdered man, Isaac Kendall, was interred is the burial ground adjoining the Wesleyan Chapel, Kingswood. The merit of apprehending the accused belongs to the Glonces tehibire constabulary. It seems that Sergeant John Mid winter, of the Gloucestershire constabulary, stationed at Marshfield, early on Thursday morning want over to King tan Wick and saw the bcily, which he immediately identi fied. He also was well acquainted with the Intuits of the men who were suspected of the cold-blooded attack. Soon afterwards, taking with him another constable, he went to Tolldown, and, fioding that the Hicks party, of whom he was in search, had not yet come up, went on to Hietou, where be met them—Thomas Hicks, the father, aged about 45, described as a wiry little man ; Thomas Hicks, son of the ahoy°, aged 17 ; John Hicks, another son, aged 10 ; and John Kendall, who Is in some way related to the deceased. The four were is charge al 3'l donkeys which had been laden with coal at Puck's church, and were taking it to Castle Coemb and Kiogton. The officers then apprehended the two elder Hicks, allow ing the other two to proceed with the donkeys. The sergeant charged his two prisoners with the murder, and gave them the usual caution. The elder said that they were oa Kington down on Tuesday, and that Ike (sweeiwg deceased) left them. The sergeant remarked casually, "Have you not beard of the murder before to-day!" to which he replied, ."re day, at the pita, we heard it for the hest time." The ser geant said, " But you heard it at Bond's yesterday," when lie answered," Yes, I did hear something of it there." Subsequently the officers came up with and apprehended the other two. The little boy seemed peculiarly cautious for his age. We hear that the prisoners--espeially the senior Hicks—have king been at enmity with the Kendall family, more especially with the son Isaac. Some mouths since the latter complaieed to Sergeant Gerrard that in one of their journeys to Wiltshire old Hicks had threatened Lis life, and the parties seldom met without, quarrelling.— I Weaken Daily Press. HIGH PEWS OT REYREAHMENTS AT THE CENTRAL CiumtrraL Courr.—After the Recorder bad discharged the grand jury at the Ceatiel Criminal Court yesterday, one of the jury mom asked permission to mention a natter which might, he said, be deemed rather absurd ; but oevertheless be could not help inentiouieg it. He with his brother jury men were glad at being released so soon, and they thought with him that when they came to sone their country it was rather hard that they should be charged such an enormous price for refreshments. They had been called upon to pay the sum of Is. for a sandwich for which anywhere they ought only to have paid 21d. It was a paltry sum in itself, and it was not the mousy that they looked at, bat it appeared to them to be a principle which ought not to pas without observation. The Recorder odd it certainly was a large amount for • sandwich, and it was very desirable that the subject should have been mentioued, as the wigwams were so doubt liable to the same overcharge. DR.
