To make out this defence, the following witnesses were celled Mr. Service : In April, 1843, I was in the office of the secretary to the Great Munster Railway Company. Barmy wee employed by Morley. 1 had a list of share brought me. only know from Morley that Barnes sent. know that Waley had 100 shares, and 100 only. I remember Welty coming with Idle to my aloe. Idle ei,lned the maternal tory contract. He brought two bankers' receipts (or 100 and ix 40 shares. The first bought from Mr. Bros—the others allotted. I have here his receipt for the specific numbers, The numbers were, 9,741 to 9,860, and from 9,861 to 9,880. Waley's shares were from 7,861 to 7,960, inclusive. I have his receipt for those numbers. lie received them on the let of May. A finance committee was appointed after that, about the 26th or 27th of Amil. The scrip came in on or about the 20th of 11. y. Morley came into the mcretery's of and handed in a packet of strip, with three accounts. The scrip so handed in ass entered by me in the stock book. The whole et Waley's scrip woe there. I entered scrip there. In that way they beeame the propertyall the of the com pany. There were there also 120 shares of Idle; from 9,741 to 9,860. I think I saw Morley sign the cheque. One thousand scrip shares were brought to--strip of, this com pany. This cheque was given for these-3,0131. 1.55. Wiley ealled in July, 1846, and asked the managing director, to exchange the scrip which he bad brought in for scrip which he them brought. The director said it was a thing which he thought he could not do.—Cross-examined : This company woe dissolved on the 19th of May, 1846. Morley continued itiktken. Henry Shearman: I was secretary to the Cork and Kil larney Railway Company. I have not the books of the company in my possession, but they are hers. lam not ac quainted with Barnes. I can tell by the books the shares dud were allotted to Idle ; they were those from 2,741 to 2,840. He signed for them. Wiley had 100 allotted to him, from 1,431 to 1,630 These shares same back spin in the summer or autumn of 1816. The shares were 21. 10e. at per. In November, 1846, Wiley was at the office asking the numbers of the shares issued to him and Idle. I re member a deputation of directors being present when he cams. He did net ask anything to be dons.—Crow-ex amined He asked for the numbers on the ground that he had not kept an account of them. I pee him the numbers of the whole of the 200. Mr. Richardson By Idle's direction I called on Waley, end asked him if he had sold the shares. He asked me if I knew the numbers, and went oat and brought in a tin box with shares. I looked at them, and said they were not Idle's. He said, " I cannot account for it ; I had 'harm of my sous, whops I have sold Mr. Idle's for mine." I said, **Will you let me take the numbers ?" He laid, ** No."— Cro-s-examined : This defence was set up five or six days after the demand of the balance. I told Mr. Idle about the difference of the numbers. That was the only interview. — Re-examined I firs' knew of it about ten days before, but I did not then believe it. The orders were then put in. Evidence in reply was then called. Mr. Barnes :I am a member of the Stock Exchange, and have been acquainted with Mr. Wiley. I am a stock jobber. When I bought end sold scrip certificates I did not till lately take numbers. It was a general practice not to do it. I was employed by Mr. Morley, a director of the Great Munster Company, to purchase shares—on the occasion one thou sand:, at the end of April I bought there from different persons; I believe fifty from Mr. Waley, at f er 4. 1 bought 100 of Boyd at t. After I had bought thereto became Impatient and wanted them delivered. I asked Wiley to lend me some others; I believe fifty. I can't say how many ; upwards of 100 and less than 200. I did not take the num ber,. I paid him for what I bought. Those lent were among them. I afterwards handed them to Morley as constituting the toe thousand. As the other parties deli;ered the others to me I gam them back to Mr. Waley. I did not take the namben, I think • it is not likely. I paid Mr. Wiley nothing for the sha res lent. I banded them heck in the course of the month of May. Some were not issued till the 16th of May. I bought a few shares of Wiley, in the Cork and Killarney. I have no memorandum of it ; it was very trifling. I bad no difficulty in getting them The transac tion was by Morley. I should say from 30 to 40 was the number I bought from Waley.—Cross-examined I was employed by Morley to get people to take shares. I don't think I was limited to any num ber. I was to have 2s. 6d. per share. I gave some to Waley and my brother. I bought them back. I was employed to " rig " the market, I believe. I had on getting them back. It was in about a week afterwards. They were possibly the same. I got 62. premium. I did not receive 1001. for rigging the market. I received fee that transaction about 1261. for every 1,000 shares; 621. 10s. out, and 621. 10s. in. My friends got a per tentage of 6s. to 10e. per share. I have not done a great deal of business with Mr. Wiley. I have no recollection of having acted with Wiley on the Stock Exchange. We have not had a joint interest in " stagging," that I recollect. I solemnly believe it is not so. I did not buy 100 shares of Mr. Wiley in the Great Munster ; it was not 80; it might be 60. I paid him on the 2nd of May for 75. It is customary on the Stock Ex change to pay to one party for theses bought of another. I think I got red of 1,000 thane in the Cork and Killarney, at 2a. 6d. per share. I gave some to my brother, and some to Mr. Wiley. I bought them in ; I don't know that it was within the week. illy impression is I bought 200 shame and no mere. I can't say how many from Mr. Wiley. The amount was included in the 3691. for the Munster. Mr. Wiley never asked me to get them back. I have not tried to get them beck. I have had subsequent transactions with him. It is the ordi nary mune of jobbers to take completion; it began in the railway badness—Re-examined I am a member of the committee of the Stock Exchange, and was high sheriff of Backs two years ago. I have known Wiley 20 years. I got the subscribers I y getting letters of allotment signed. When I bought them at 2e. 6d. it was as agent for Morley. I gave the letters to different member, of the Stock Ex change, who were my personal friends. I don't recollect whether I bought them from any other person. I paid for a pest number of the Munster shares on the 2nd of May. I received the others in the month of May. The borrowing shares is a common practice, In reply, it was contended that whatever objections might exist to the practice of rigging the market, this case was untouched, as it was now clear that no sale of the de fendant's shares had ever taken place ; that, if they had been parted with, it was only by way of loan for • day or two, in the manner and for the purpose described by Barnes; that the plaintiff bed received no advantage whatever from them, and, therefore, that there was an end of the charge of fraud, and the claim of set off The jurors intimated an opi nion to the same effect, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, on the issue as to the alleged fraud On the issue as to the alleged set off Lord Denman's opinion was In Moue of the plaintiff,for whom he directed a verdict. AIN of exceptions was tendered to the ruling, subject thereto.— Verdict for the plaintiff. TILIMIN e.

The pleas denied the liability, and set up payment and set off. A sum of 8001. had in fact bons paid, and the cross-examination was directed towards the elide. ing from the witnesses for the plaintiff that the work was well paid by it. The objection to the liability generally was that the plaintiff was in fact a promoter of the scheme, Inasmuch as he bad become the associate of the projectors before any committee was formed, had caused their original scheme to be altered to suit his views, had been active in getting members of the committee, and was in the first instance self appointed. It was further contended that the plaintiff, who, alter his appointment by the committee generally, had at tint demanded Mt. per mile, and had afterwards consented to take such remunera tion as the committee should deem sufficient, was bound to be satisfied with the sum of 8001. awarded to him, which the committee, after this action had been brought, had declared to be enough. To this it wee answered that the agreement ini pceed on the committee the duty of remunerating bonil fide, In other words, of paying what the plaintiff was fully en titled to.—Lord Denman gave the defendant leave to move to enter a nonsuit on the second point if the verdict should be for the plaintiff. On the other point he directed the jury that the contract with the committee made after the general appointment of the plaintiff as surveyor was evidence of a new and epeeist contract to pay the plaintiff, and that if such contract should be found the fact of the plaintiff having been one of the promoters did not affect his right to recover what was due to him—Verdict for the plaintiff-damages 2001.—The court sat till 8 o'clock.

The fact that the work bad been done, and its value, having been proved, it was contended for the defend ant that he was entitled to set off a certain sum for re at of the farms in Surrey belonging to him and occupied by the plaintiff, and also the value of the dressing, manure, and seed relinquished by him, according to the custom of the country, to the plaintiff, who entered on them in June, 1846 r under agreements is wilting. The custom of the county of Surrey between Incoming and outgoing tenants wee proved ; but, on its appearing that the agreements were elect respecting the &wings, manuring's, and the other grounds of the defendant's claim for which the custom was vouched, it was objected that the plaintiff ought to show that the custom applied when the re was a written agree ment silent as to it.—Mr. Watson, Q. C., and Mr. Keane, fee the defendant, contended that the custom was the basis Of the contract; that it was engrafted on every written emstract that did not expressly exclude it or was not incon- MAMA with it ; and that, the custom having been proved, ft was for the plaintiff to show, either by the written agree.

BPUltalla.—AJl/AULT BC • SON CruN HIV FATIIII.—Mr. Flunkey, Q.C., and Mr. Lush were the plaintiff's counsel, Mr. Martin, (Lc., and Mr. Wilkin for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a deputy commissary-general, to recover dama ges for an assault committed on the 13th of January last, by his son, the defendant. The cue was suffered to stand over for some days on the suggestioa of the learned counsel for the respective parties, as It was anticipated an amicable adjust ment of the matter might have been effected. The attempts of the learned counsel and even the suggestion of the learned judge proved unavailing, and the Cake was yesterday pro ceWed with. The whole of the &eta were detailed by Miss Frances Spurner, daughter of the plaintiff, and sister of the defendant, who deposed that, on the morning in ques. tion, shortly before nine o'clock, and while in her bed chamber she overheard an altercation bsttween her father and her brother, who were in the parlour below rain. i coming down she found them wrangling sad struggling with I ' each other in the passage outside the parlour door. Her brother had held of his father by the collar, and seemed as if endeavouring to pull him down to the ground. She, as sisted by her tutees Caroline and Louisa (wbo were down stairs before her), succeeded in separating the parties, and shortly afterwards observed that her father's face was marked as if he had been recently bitten. She could see what she considered were the marks of teeth in his flesh. She was aware her mother and her father had been living very unhappily together for some time, in consequence as she (witness) belieeed of an improper intercourse said to have been carried on by her father with • Mrs. James. The defendant took hie mother's part, and both he and his father had been on bad terms for two or three years. After she had come down stain she heard her father tell her brother that he should leave the house. Her brother said he would do so, but he should fiat go up stairs and see his mother to bid her good-bye. Witness had not distinctly heard any thing that Nosed between the parties while they were in the parlour, but it was possible her sisters, who, she believed, had been present at the quarrel when it commenced, had heard and seen all that had occurred. Her mother had a trifling income in her own right, but it did not form the chief means of their support. On re-examination witness stated she knew nothing whatever et Mrs. James, or of her intimacy with the plaintiff, except what she bad heard, nor was she at all aware that the origin of the ill-feeling which subsisted between the defendant and his father had originated in that alleged intimacy. She understood her father wished her brother, who had been a clerk for some few years put at the Sun Fire Insurance Office, to contribute to the expenses of the house. The quarrel might have ori ginated in that matter. The defendant cea ed to live with his father since the unfortunate transaction in question. A policeman, who was called in after the parties had been separated, deposed that he had seen the defendant striking at his father, whose mouth was smeared over blood. Mr. Martin, who addressed the jury for the defendant, manifestly under feelings of emotion and sympathy for both the parties in the distressing and unhappy transaction, said although he could not justify a son even attempting to raise his hand to his parent under any circumstances, still there were circumstances connected with t.l.at case which, if fully disclosed to the court, would plainly show that the defendant was not, at least, wi _bout some excuse. The plaintiff had advisedly withheld from the jury all evidence as to the origin -if the quarrel be tween himself and his son. He '.celled the young lady, who was upstairs in her bedroom when the quarrel com menced, and therefore knew nothing of its origin, and he kept back the two young ladies who had seen it all from beginning to end. The learned counsel repeated that his client had done wrong by raising his hand against the plaintiff, but submitted that, considering the origin of the quarrel, that unfortunate circumstance should not be made the pretext for ex. casting mere than mere nominal damages from the defendant's pocket. The Lord Chief Baron, summing up, said the plaintiff was bound te call his two deughters, who had seen and heard all that had passed; and as he had neglected to dose, it exposed him to an inference most unfavourable to him for en action of that description, brought by a father Against his sou. Common justice, as wall as common sense and huma nity, rendered it necessary and incumbent upon the com plainant to have the whole ease in all its details fully, fairly, and honestly brought before the jury, in order to enable them to arrive at a just and proper conclusion on the sub ject.—Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 61. CONSISTORY COURT. DaSte Dr. Lushington. Thugs v. DEANS.—This was a cause of divorce by reason of adultery, brought by Mr. Henry Wilbrain Deane against hie wife, Mn . Louisa Ann Deane. The parties were married in India in 1840, and continual to reside together until 1843, when in consequence of Mrs. Deane and ono of the children being in ill health, they went to a place called Missouri., in the hill country to take up their residence with a cousin of Mrs. Deane's, the husband being compelled to remain at home in consequence of his official engagements. After a short time, Mrs. Deane withdrew from the house of Mr. Bowles, her cousin, and went to live at what was described as the hut of Mr. Traven, a cornet in the 3rd Regt. of Dra goons, and there remained for a fortnight, during which it was alleged that she cohabited with him. Mr. and Mrs. Bowles made some ineffectual attempts to induce Mrs. Deane to return to their house, and in reply received a letter re- I Nip/ to do so in terms which it was contended amounted to a confession of the adultery. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Harding submitted that the evidence of Mrs. Bowles, warmed by that of • Mr. Mansell, who ultimately inc luded in persuading Mrs. Deane to quit the hut and go to the residence of another relation, in conjunction with letters written to Mrs. Bowles and the husband, fully proved the case.—Dr. Burnaby and Dr. R. Phillimore contended that the evidence was too slight to justify the court in signing • sentence of separation.—Dr. Lushington wee of a contrary opinion. He regarded the letters as conclusive of the guilt of Mrs. Deane, and accordingly pronounced for the divorce ; but the husband not being present to give the requisite bond, he court could not sign the sentence. ARCHES COURT. Before Sir 11. J. Suet. Elms v. Glitts.—Dr. Addams resumed his argument. He I commenced by reading the evidence adduced in support of I the charges of adultery against Mr. Dells with three females who had been in his service, in various domestic capacities, I namely, M'Phee, Campbell, and M'Kickan. There were confinaions, he said, with regard to the first which placed the cue beyond all possibility of doubt. The principal witness in the second cue was Campbell her. self ; but the learned counsel submitted that never was the testimony of a particeps criminis more fairly given, in addi tion to which she was confirmed en several important points. Exception had been taken to her testimony on the ground' that she could not be believed on her oath ; but he argued that she remained unimpeached. He admitted that with regard to the third party the evidence was alight; bat, eon. sidering the previous conduct of Mr. Delis, he thought the court would have no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that the charge was sufficiently proved. The learned coun sel then proceeded to the last branch of his case, which was of a nature too painful and disgusting for publication. He had not concluded his argument at the rising of the court. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before Mr. Commlnioner Law. ___. Ix an Awrzonv BACON.—General Bacon, who had been in the Portuguese service, was bankrupt in 1845, and panted through this court in 1846, so that this is the third time he has sought the benefit of the act. He was opposed for Newt. Nichols and Harvey, carpet-makers, and for a Mr. Hardy.—The insolvent stated that he had no resources him self, but that his wife, Lady Boson, wee in the receipt of 240 L a year, besides an allowance of 201. a month from her brother-in-law, making 4801. per wow—Mr. Callow, soli citor for Mesita Nichols and Harvey, stated that he was in structed to take proceedings against thegeueral for the reco very of their debt, which was for goods supplied, when the in solvent called on him (Callow) and offered 201. in full discharge of 311. 10s., which was the amount of Messrs. Nichols and Harvej's claim. He refused the offer, remarking that the goods his clients had sent to General Bacon, if sold by auc tion, would fetch more than 201. —The insolvent positively denied haying made an offer of 201. in full discharge of the debt of 311. 10e. and costs, and assured the court that he ten dered the money on account, and had it in his pocket to pay down if it had been accepted, .but, that Mr. Callow said, when Messrs. Nichols and Harvey once put an affair into an attorney'. hands they would receive nothing less than the whole of the money at once.—lt further appeared that the insolvent had easigned his property over to a man named Tibbut, on his iisoounting 001110 bills for the ingot venh—The case was adjourned to file a new special balance sheet.

On the 25th of Sept. lest the prisoner went to the Savings Bank, at Beverley, with the deposit book of a person named Reuben Clubley, who had a deposit of 151. in the bank. The prisoner, who represented himself as Clubley, withdrew 11., which be received from the acting manager of the bank. A receipt was drawn up by the clerk, which the prisoner signed. The prisoner, in defence, admitted receiving the money, but that he was requested to go to the bank by Clisbley's mo ther, who gave him the deposit book for that purpose. He herded over the mosey to Mrs. Clubley r. soon as it came into his possession, and that he had no personal interest in the matter. The prisoner cross-examined Clubley, and eli cited from him that he lodged with his mother ; that he on several occasions left the boa open in which the deposit book was kept ; and that his mother had easy access to it. The clerk was also moss-examined by the prisoner, and he ad mitted that Clabley's mother, on a previous occasion, had obtained money from the bank in hi r son's name.—From the evidence adduced, it was evident that the prisoner had my inadvertently become the tool of Clubley's mother, so he did not appropriate the amount he received to hie own um Quay, but recommended to mere?

Judie Ochmen. iiIINIGIL—Jserk //pad, whose Wel wee postponed et THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16. 1847. . for the last wanes on the plea of insanity, was iadicted for the murder of Joseph Speed, his infant son.—Mr. Pollock, in opening the can for the prosecution, detailed the circum stances, which are of the most melancholy charac ter. The prisoner, who is a factory operative, resided in Lord street, Hahne (Manchester), and from the want of employment was at the time of the murder in deep distress. The prisoner, his wife, and two children occupied the lower Dail of a h ouse, the upper part being untenanted. Os the night of Saturday the 31st of July, the prisoner's wife had gone out, and returned about nine o'clock. A quarrel between ber husband and herself would then appear to have ensued, for the attention of the neighbours was shortly afterwards arrested, terns= were heard, and the wife rushed out with her hair dis hevelled, and her face covered with blood. She ran for pro tection into the house of a neighbour opposite, and was re ceived with kindness. While the prisoner's wife was in this house the attention of another neighbour was directed to the prisoner's house ; and he saw the prisoner draw the blind partly arida, and apparently watch the proceedings acmes the street. This was conduct such as could reasonably be expected from *person in the possession of his senses. Marks of blood . were „I"„sged; found noon tae blind. prVerlee locked I the door, and came into the house where his wife was, to leave the key. He was told that blame was attached to him for wounding his wife, and was n quested to go for a doctor. He went out, but instead of seeking a medical man pro ceeded to a police station to give himself up. He stated that he had committed a rub act ; and when raked what it was, he replied that he had murdered his wife and two children. The statement unfortunately was to a great extent true. The wife has since recovered, but the two children were found dead. After a caution by the policeman, be further stated that his wife and he had quarrelled—that he had struck her on the bead with a hammer (a hammer stained with blood was afterwards found in the house)—that she went across the street, and that he then took a razor from the cupboard and cut his children's throats. The wife was taken back to her residence by her neighbours, and her wounds deemed. But it was not till some time afterwards that the full extent of the prisoner's offence was known. On the bed clothes being turned down the two children with their throats cut were found weltering in their blood, warm, yet quite dead. A razor stained with blood was afterwards found in t to cupboard, from which it bed been taken.—Mr. Pollock said he must admit there was much in the prisoner's =dingo, up to and before the unfortunate event, wh ch might drive him to great desperation. He had had no work for some time previous, and the neighbours, though poor themselves, had two or three times interposed to save the family from starvation. On the very day . before the murder the wife had parted with a slight article of furniture to purchase bread. The question was, did this distress lead the man into each a state of mind that he could not distinguish between right and wrong ? —The neighbours of the prisoner were the first witnesses called. They stated that the prisoner and his wife had lived on good terms; that he ap peared to be a kind husband and father; and was honest and industrious when he had work to do.— Mr. Gotland, surgeon, of Manchester, visited the prisoner the same day the offence was committed, to teat his state of mind, and remained in coaversation with him above half-an hour. The prisoner's observations and replies appeared to him to be consistent, and quite rational. The prisoner told him that he was sometimes without food fur 24 hours toge ther, and that on the morning in question he had a severe headache when he arose, but it was better when this con. ference took place, in the afternoon.—Mr. T. Chalmer, jun., surgeon to the Kirkdale gaol, in which the prisoner has been confined since August last, said he believed the prisoner during all the time he was there to be of sane mind.— Mr. Bowler addressed the jury on beh.lf of the prisoner, and ca'le I a witaeas to pr ve that a half-brother of the prisoner died in a lunatic asylum, at Lancaster, n 1843.—Mr. Pollock ' having replied, Mr. Justice Coltman summed up.—The jury ' retired at half-past 2 o'clock, and in 20 minutes returned ' with a verdict of Guilty. —The learned judge then passed sentence of death in the usual way, holding out not the least ' hope of a commutation of the punishment.—The prisoner, who wept during Mr. Pollock's recital of the circumstances of the melancholy occurrence, received the sentence with ap -1 parent ind ffereace, end was removed from the dock. Ballantine: The pris our was given In charge for stealing a watch, and he said " Prev forgive me ; I was tempted to do it." I asked him who had tempted him, and he replied i: was no person, but a voice, which said "Do it, do it, you will not be found out." W. Devonshire, one of the turnkeys of Newgate, deposed that the prisoner was in his charge in the gaol. On the 22nd of November he asked fee pens, tok, and paper, which were furnished to him, and he afterwards found the paper pro duced in his cell. This was written after he had had an in terview with the ordinary. Mr. Ryland said he should now propose to read the letter referred to, which, after some discussion, was agreed to. It was as follows . My dear Mother,—As you cannot come to see me, I hope you will writs to me, and tell me what I ought to do to get forgivenens for whet I have does, for I knew that I hare sinned against God, and deserve to be sant into boil; but what is my enlycomfort la the Bible, he our Lord says, If you repent, I will farm you. Therefore, I will hops for forgivenees, for I will put on a fresh cloak, and I will mat use oat I limo pt on off my back. and though my situ be as scarlet dell be white as meow. I will cast off all my evil ways, and put on Mr . Davis lead me that if I did not woken what I have doss OMI would set forgive me, and every use was sure I bad dose Lt, and be told me I had better °mikes It to you, and be told me . I . ust wedo,l4 ths •Irldel ore I+4 vom .11••••1 I my soul go so. Mr. Delimiting here interposed, and said, it occurred to him that upon this representation made by the prisoner as to the inducement held out to him by the reverend ordinary, that that irentleman ought to be called as a witness, in order to ascertain whether such an inducement had been held out to the prisoner to make the statement as would render it inadmissible. The Rev. Mr. Davis was sworn, and said—On Sunday, the 21st of November, the prisoner heard me preach twice. It is part of my duty, by order of the Court of Aldermen, to communicate to the prisoners any important matter in which they are interested, such as an order for execution, a reprieve, or a pardon. The prisoner at first was committed upon a harge of stealing a watch ; but at this time the coro ner's warrant had been lodged at the gaol, charging him with the crime of wilful murder, and it became my . duty to inform him of the fact, which I did, and gave him some general instructions with regard to his religious exercises, and no doubt I told him that he could not expect forgive ness from God unless he confessed his sins. I did not tell him that I believed he had done it, or that it would be better for him to confess to his mother ; neither did I ask him where he expected his soul would go to, if he were to be struck dead, and his statement that I dii so ia entirely the imagination of his own mind. [The reading of the letter was then proceeded with.] 'Therefore, dear mother, I have no one to blame but mynah. If I had only attended to what you were teaching me I should not bare come Into snob a place; but Satan bad got so much power over me. I bad two drams this night. I will tell them to you. I dreamed that if I did not sagas what I had done Gal would met me into hell ; and if I did costes it, God would forgive me, and it I turned away from my wickedness, God would take me to hearer when I died. 1 And num tried to make me not coofees, sad mid if I did contest I should be cast into hell; but I turned away from bim and said .1 will confer, or else God will not forgive me; and I mean to turn away from my wickedness ." and then I awoke. I now coulees that I have done what lam accused of. On the 20th of October (rand father went to his desk for tee key of the wine -cellar, to get some wine op and to look over his accounts; and whilst he was goose I took the same out and emptied some of it is another paper, and put the rest back, and then, after dinner, I put it into the maga , basin. I did it become whet I had made grandfather angry with something I had dose he knocked me down In the passage, and my head went up Viththe table and hurt it very much, and he said the next time I e would almost kill rue. But in foture I will say the truth, and nothing else but the truth. With tenderest love to you and to you all at home, believe me ever your affectionate sop, WlLthan Newsom Atuirrer. Mr. M'Xiiirdo, the surgeon of the gaol of Newgate, said he had seen and conversed with the prisoner almost daily since he had been in the gaol, and he never observed anything in his conduct to induce him to believe that he woe not of sound mind or capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Ballantine then sddreesed the jury for the prisoner, and said that, in the first place, he should contend the the evidence was not sufficient to justify the jury in finding a child twelve year of age guilty of the horrible crime with which he was charged, and that the letter which he had written ought not to have any weight in their minds, be cause it was quite clear that, although the rev. ordinary of the gaol might not in any way have exceeded his duty, yet it was exceedingly probable that a child like the prisoner might have misunderstood the effect of his observations, and have been induced to make such a statement in the hope of ',seeping punishment. The learned counsel argued that the whole conduct of the prisoner, even if they should come to • the conclusion that he was guilty of committing the act .of poisoning his grandfather, showed that he was not in such a state of mind as to be accountable for his actions ; and be should produce testimony which would strengthen that im pression, and he had no doubt would induce the jury to re turn a verdict to that effect. Mr. E. H. Payne deposed that he was of the medical profession and brother-in- law to the father of the prisoner, who wos quite mad for two months before ho died ; and on several occasions before was in the same state. Hi, grand father also suffered from paralysis, and two of his sisters were blind from nervous disease connected with the brain. He bad attended the prisoner medically, and knew that he suffered from scrofula • and from the knowledge he had' acquired respecting hi m, and which ho had heard connected with this case, he was of opinion that at the time he com• witted the act he was partially insane and incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong. Mr. Croucher, surgeon to the Berks county gaol, said he attended the prisoner when he was 18 months old for the injury he received from falling on the plouglishere. It was ' a very severe injury and was calculated to affect his brain. ' Dr. Dewsbury said he was a physician, and resided at Clapton. The prisoner was brought to him by his mother several times during the months of March, April, and May, of the present year. The prisoner was suffering from indi gestion and scrofula in a marked degree. He was told at that time that the prisoner was in the habit of walking in his sleep, and also ishrieking while asleep; and from his knowledge of the state of his health and all the other cir cumstances of the case, he was of opinion that when this matter occurred the prisoner was not in a sound state of mind. _ . Dr. Conolly, the physician to the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, said that front the evidence he had heard in this case he was of opinion that the prisoner was of nneound mind. He should say that his brain was diseased, and he considered that as be advanced in life his insanity would beoeme more apparent, but he was of opinion that he would exhibit it more by a deranged conduct than a derangement of intellect. Mr. Baron Rolfe then proceeded to sum up the case to the jury, and he said it was one of a very important character, not only as regarded the nature of the oharge, and the con sequences that might result to the prisoner, hut also with re gard to the defence that had been set up, which was one that, when it rested upon alight grounds, if juries did not put a check to, might be attended with very disastrous results. The witnesses called for the defence had described the pre saner as acting from uncontrollable impulse ; and they had made other statements , of the value of which it would be flee the jury to decide ; but he must say that it was his opinion that such evidence ought to be scanned by juries with very great jealousy and suspicion, because it might tend to the pietism justification of every crime that was committed. What was the meaning of not being able to resist moral influence ? Peery crime was committed under an influence of such a ibeertption, and the object of the law was to compel persons is control these influences, and if it was made an excuse for • person who had committed a crime that he had been to it by some impulge which medical men might to say he could not control, he must observe that leek a liastalse would bo fraught with very great danger to the Interest of society. Thejnry retired at half-past 6 o'clock, and returned Into court in a quarter of an hour, when they gave a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time earnestly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his tender age. The prisoner upon hearing the verdict became dreadfully agitated, and it was necessary for one of the turnkeys to support him. Mr. Baron Rolfe, after a short interval, addremed the pri soner, and said that after a very full and attentive consi deration of his case, the jury had come to the conclusion, and he rejoiced that they had done so, that he was guilty of the horrible crime laid to his charge. Let him not be mill understood as to the reason why he rejoiced at their coming to so painful a declaim. The reason he rejoiced was that the jury had not shrunk from the discharge of a duty which men of weaker minds might have recoiled from, and that ' they had not returned a verdict which they felt their con sciences would not sanction. The jury had treated the defence of insanity that had been set up in his behalf as trifling with their judgment ; they felt that he knew but too well that the set he committed was one that would send his grandLther to the grave. The attempt to esta blish his insanity was made in order to induce the jury is swerve from the strict p‘th of duty. This was a defense which wee frequently made, and which was too often a , and he rejoiced that the jury had thrown to Se triads the idle sophistry by which the 41•11 es• was met to be made out on the present *emeni se e:,, se = accompanied their verdict by a sus Inzomey, which was one in cases of MUT. 1/1.610001.4111:111 1 Et instance, he had never felt bbarifjaiMei la any attention to. In this case, barever, be iambi Ow to that reeotomendation, and, gekliag into coadaseadea the youth of the prisoner and his meat at experienat, be should feel himself warranted in mommesoding that his life should be spared. At present sistessi at death meat be recorded, but he would take care that tin tearameadatioa of the jury and his own should be laid at the foot of the throne, 'idiom alone the power of mercy existed. He must, however, understand that if any remission of the sentence was granted, it would not be from any belief that be was not In a sound state of mind, but solely for the reasons that had been stated, and he must expect, if his life should be spared, to pass the whole of the remainder of it in ignominy and dbgrace. The prisoner was then removed Irom the bar. POLICE.—YESTERDAT. M A RLBOROUGR-STREET .—Ennizzienarrr.-17. But, was charged with having embezzled several sums of money belonging to his employer, Mr. J.

OLD COURT.—Before Mr. Baron Rolfe and Mr. Justice Wlghtman. MURDER BY • Bor.— W. N. Ailnua, 12, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with the wilful murder of Samuel Nelme, in having unlawfully mixed a quantity of arsenic with sugar.—The prisoner was also charged with the like offence upon the coroner's inquisition.—He pleaded not guilty to both the charges,—During the trial he was seated in the dock, with his face buried in his hands. Maria Bucker said, on the Sunday before Mr. Mime died, the prisoner came to me in the kitchen, and asked if I did not think his grandfather would die suddenly ? I asked him why he put such a question ; and he replied, that be thought his grandfather would die suddenly, as hie eyes looked queer. Mr. F. Toulmir., surgeon, said, I knew the deceased' Samuel Nelme, and saw him between seven and eight o'clock in the morning on which he died. He was then very sick, and complained of great pain in the bowels, and was violently purged. I thought him extremely ill. I saw him a second time about twelve o'clock, and went again to his house at five, when I found he was dead. I afterwards, by order of the coroner, opened the body, but at that time I did not observe anything auspicious in the appearance of the stomach, but the contents were removed, in order that they might undergo a more careful examination. Mrs. Nelme, the wife of the deceased, sent for me on the Id of November, and, at my request, the gave me some arrow root and some pounded sager. I attempted to dissolve a portion of the latter in water, and gave the remainder to Dr. Letheby, at the London Hospital, and he made some experiments upon it in my presence, and the result was, that it was proved to contain a quantity of arsenic. I have no doubt, from this circumstance, and from what I have since heard, that the deceased died from the effects of some arsenical poison.—By Mr. Ballantine, for the prisoner, Un til I heard of the existence of the poison in the sugar, and ix the, stomach of the deceased, I fancied the death had Arian hom cholera, or some other natural cause. Mr. Letheby, physician, deposed that he received three jars, containing the contents of the deceased's stomach, the intestines, and a portion of the liver, and also a quantity.of pounded sugar and arrow-root, from the last witness. He analysed the whole of these matters. The witness then gave a technical detail of the course ke pursued in the dif (trent analyses, and the result arrived at was the detection lof a considerable quantity of arsenic in the stomach. He likewise tested the pounded sugar, and out of a quantity of about four ounces and a half, he was enabled to detect the presence of half an ounce of white arsenic. He subs.. quently examined a portion of the brain of the deceased, which was given to him by Dr. Toulmin, and he detected in that also a trace of the presence of arsenic.—ln answer to a question put by Mr. Baron Rolfe, the witness said that he did not weigh it, bet he was of opinion that four pains of arsenic altogether were detected in the body of the deceased, and this quantity, he said, was sufficient to muse death.— By Mr. Ballantine : The arsenic I observed in the brain and the liver, had no doubt been taken into the system at a more remote period than that which was in the intestines. I do not speak positively to this fact, but it is my opinion, resulting from my experience in a great number of cases of poisoning; and, according to my belief, the arsenic had been in the brain and the liver for a south. That would not be my opinion if I was aware that the patient had been in perfect health up to a very recent period before his death. Arsenic is administered medicinally, but in that ease it would not accumulate to such an extent m the liver as appeared in this ease. Mrs. Sarah Nelme, the widow of the demand, who was much affected while giving her testimony, deposed that her husband was in his 74t1 year at the time of his death. Of late years he had eojoyedvery good health, and did not com plain of any illness until two or three days before his death. He died on the 27th October, and be first complained of illness on the previous Friday ; but at that time they Naught he was only suffering from a cold. He first com plained of sickness on the Tuesday before his death. A basin containing pounded sugar was used in the family, and it was generally placed on the table after dinner with fruit, and the deceased always used the sugar from this basin, and the prisoner was aware of that feet and had awns to the sugar. Witness herself never used this sugar, which was almost exclusively kept for the use of the deceased. She put a small portion of the sugar lute some arrowroot which she took on the Monday, and was very ill afterwards. Mrs. Mary Louisa Allnutt, the mother of the prisoner, who was likewise deeply affected, said that the prisoner was 12 years old last October. She resided with her father, and knew that he was in the habit of having arsenic in the house, and the prisoner was also acquainted with the feet. The arsenic was used to poison rate, and the prisoner had seen it so used. One day ho asked her what arsenic wee like, and she told him it was like flour. This was about a week before her father died. The arsenic was always kept in a bureau in the beck parlour, which was kept locked. She believed that the sugar-basin was tilled with sager ou the Friday morning before her father died, and she herself partook of some of it on the evening of that day. Her father used some at the same time, and he also put some on a baked apple on the Sunday ; he generally used a good deal of sugar with his fruit. Witness made him some gruel on the Sunday night, and sweetened it with the same sugar. She also partook of the gruel, and immediately afterwards was taken dreadfully sick, and continued in that state, and paralysed, for three days, and was very ill for a fortnight afterwards.—By Mr. Ballantine : My own husband was subject to apoplectic fits and died in estate of complete madness. When the prisoner was about a year end • half old he fell upon *ploughshare, and at first it was thought he was dead. He had given her a great deal of trouble by his misconduct. In January last he bed a fall since then hie conduct had been much worsethan before. He was orought home after the fall, and was very pale, and his eyes looked vacant and bewildered, and she was quits struck with hi. appearance. He used frequently to corn. plain of inane, and from his appearance there was no doubt that he suffered a great deal. Whea she complained of his conduct, on some occasions he would tell her, that some one seemed to say to him in his head, " Do it, de it, you will never be found out." He said this after his father's death, and when she complained of his having taken a watch. Pri soner was in every respect quite indifferent to her other child. He used to walk in his sleep, and she frequently heard him call out in his situp as though something bad frightened him, Dr. Letheby was recalled, and in answer to a question from the t ourt, he said that walking in the sleep was an in dication of a disordered state of the brain. It might be occasioned by some organic nun, or from stew disordered state of the stomach, end the same observances, he said, would apply to talking in sleep. A. violent blow upset the head might also have the effector Waalt o &garden. the brain. Mary Ann Party, a charwoman sat 'he tliceleccesed's house, said that on the Saturday begun r. Name died, the prisoner told her he thought has gmadfather maid go of suddenly, and the reason ke thought so was, that his her I had died suddenly.—Ant nspector of polio* was called to show that the prisoner was Irina into his enstody.—By Mr. MONEY MARI?Er. WEDNESDAY EVENING. Within the last few days the purchases of Reduced Threes and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., in which the dealings are for money, have been so much more numerous than usual, and in the aggregate of such an amount, as to have excited attention to the cir cumstance. From the relatively small quantities of the separate transactions, there can now be no doubt that the public have been the buyers, which comes in confirmation of the observation which has been com monly made of late, that opinion out of doors is much more favourable to the stability, and even the progressive improvement, of public securities, than in the Stock Exchange. It remains to be seen how far this greater confidence in the firmness of the stock market will be justified by the result ; but it may be remarked that cossiderable sums are carried for em ployment into the funds at present, because of the discouraging nature of trading pursuits gene rally, and the disinclination to incur the risk of em barking in any investments, temporary or otherwise, which may be connected with, or dependent upon, in dustrial enterprise. At the actual high quotations of stocks, or any advance upon them, it may be con fidently expected, moreover, that the tide of invest ment will ere long turn into the railway channel, where prices are more invitingly low. Consols were done at 851 to-&.3 , for the scoonnt,but the quotations oscillated chiefly between 854 and 85!, leaving off, as yesterday, 854 to The report of a Belgian loan about to make its appearance, rendered the market somewhat heavy towards the close of business. The loan is understood to be required for covering a deficit of revenue, as compared with ex penditure for the year, of about 30 millions of francs, but the amount proposed to be raised is stated at 60 millions, the excess of which is to be devoted to public works for the employment of the people, more especially, perhaps, in drainage works, and the encouragement of the linen manu facture in West Flanders, where the population has long been suffering under severe distresa. This financial operation is to be made according to report in a 21 per cent. stock, so that if the object be to realise the whole 60 millions in hard money, the loan, calculating upon the price borne by the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at this time, must contemplate an issue of such stock at a rough estimate of about 108 millions of francs nominally. It seems more pro bable, however, that the nominal amount of the loan will be only the 60 millions, which would give about 33 millions money, or three millions (120,0001.) for public works over and above covering the financial deficit. Reduced Threes left off 841 to sk. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 861 to 1. Bank Stock, 1861 to 81. Exchequer Bills. is. to 10s. pm. India Bonds, 245. to 18s. discount. Long Annuities, 81 to 11-18.

A bargain in French Five per Cent. Rental was done at 115 f. 75c. ; Exchange, 25f. 70c. A dividend on the estate of Messrs. Coate]lain, Sons, and Co., who intspendod payments some time since, was paid to-day, of 7s. 6d. in the pound, and a second dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound is shortly expected to be realised and paid, thus making 10s. per pound in the course of a few months. The inspectors appointed to the estate of Messrs. Leaky, Alexander, and Co., ars understood to have a considerable fund in hand, which they have invested in Exchequer Bills. Further assets are expected to be realised shortly, which will admit of a dividend being declared in the course of next week of 2s. 6d. in the pound. The failure of Mr. John Marsland, a large cotton spinner, comes confirmed in the Manchester Courier of to-day, as before referred to but not named in that paper of last Saturday. The liabilities are stated at 58,0001., and ae the assets, if the concern were broken up, did not promise to yield more thon 4s. to ss. in the pound, the creditors agreed that the business should be carried on under inspection, in the expectation that thus the debts might eventually be paid off in fall. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Gates, Coates, Bartlett, and Co., Scotch and Manchester warehouse men, was held at the offices of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Croshie, to-day. A statement of the affairs of this small estate Lid before them : the liabilities were stated at 13,2.531., and the assets at no more than 2,2051. After some discussion, in the course of which it was acknowledged that the insol vents had kept their books in a complete and trades manlike manner, it was resolved that the concern should go into the Court of Bankruptcy, as the assets had been brought down to so small an amount. Some dissatisfaction was expressed that suspension had not been resorted to before affairs had arrived to that ex tremity. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Leaf, Bar nett, Scot/Don, and Co., Manchester and Scotch ware honsemen, took place to-day at the Guildhall Coffee house ; Mr. Twentyman, of the firm of I3ennoch and Twentyman, in the chair ; when a balance-sheet, Fe b 3, Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., was laid pared before them, and the committee appointed on a fcrmcr occasion made their report. In the course of the pro ceedings a proposition was made and agreed upon of • composition of 16s, in the inland, in equal instal ments at 3,6, and 9 months, the last instalment to be I satisfactorily secured, with the stipulation that if the condition of the security could not bo obtained, the concern was to be wound up under inspection. Pro visionally, inspectors were appointed accordingly, consisting of the chairman, Mr. D. Evans, and the two other members of the before acting committee.
