4 THE COURT-711A.WrIAL ON COL. CRAWLEY. After our repent left yesterday, Colonel Crawley proceeded to analyse the evidence. showing; that the ear had free MOM to the veraisdah, that be had sufficient exercise, and that every attention and care eampatible with his position as a prisoner iu close arrest whom it was necessary to prevent con.mouicating with outride was accorded to him. The fact wee rt ° t • b s e entire charge against him ATOM out of a vile conspiracy to ruin him. He next proceeded with an analysis of the evidence of the minor witnesses brought forward for the pec.wicutiou, con tending that it went generally to prove that no complaint bad been made to him, and that no cruelty or oppression bad been exercised. lie then continued as follows : Sir, there is one question which 1 think at the close of this long inquiry can hardly fail to be made --Whence did this memo! falsehood origicat• Who organised thin foul coo. spicery ! Who invented, who propagated, who connived at the story of the '' bombproof oven and the Rlack Hole of Cal cutta r Who was the ingenious inventor of the indignities to Mrs. Eilley Who thought of the "functions of nature pert.)i mod in the presence of strange men °' These sort of stories don't invent themselves. They have an author some where. I have not the honour of Mr. Fortescu's acquaint- , ance, but I have so num to doubt that he is a gentleman is every way worthy of the noble name be bears. I give his every credit for having sincerely believed the Mate. meats he was induced to make ; but I think be cannot, and he will not, let this matter rest where it h. He has vouched in the presence of parliament for the truth of assertions which are now proved to have been wholly fella. The honour of Mr. Fortuoue seems to me to deniaud, the dignity of parliament seems to require, that he should help to expose the fraud of which he bee been the dupe. The country is in the habit of taking for granted assertions thus vouched in public by honourable men. When such men have been deceived, they owe it to themselves and to others to give op their authority. I think Mr. Forteacue will feel that he owes seine explesa. Noe of this matter to the officer he has an eruelly wronged, and to the nation be has so expensively misguided. And, sir, what I say of Mr. Fortescue, I my also of the nobler porticos et the English press. They have inflicted on me great suf fering and irreparable injury, but I believe they have done it unwittingly. It is, I know, the high sod honourable function of u free press to rill for justice upon wrong doers, sod to defend the cause of the innocent. I Dave no doubt that io what they have done they thought they were acting upon reliable information and performing a paramount duty. But I think they owe it to themselves and to the public to put others on their guard sealed those who have thus deceived them. I thick that when this trial is over they will consider that there is some repsration to be made, and that there remains soother injustice to redress. The gems of iodia in this respect has already set an honourable example. The re oie.l Of India, which was one of my bit terest opponents, ham expressed in the most honorable manner its regret at having given credence to the volumes of correspondence with which Mr. Sautes had plied it. They my, and they my it truly, "It is the fact, we kW, that the late Sergeant-Major Utley was more the victim of Paymaster Swales than of Colossi Crawley." I know, sir, there are joarnals of another stamp who will continue to repeat exploded falsehoods sod to reproduce refuted slander. Bat I heed them not. These are not the legitimate exponents of the sentiments of a just and gene rous nation—a nation which is hosiourably vehement in its indignation against supposed oppression, but which is equally frank in its repentance for want/national isjustioe. And sow, sir, this long end tedious address must have an mad. Forgive me if I have wearied you. Remember what &spring tide of obloquy I have had to roll back, and to crowd into a few hoots • defence against months of calumny. Permit me, before I close, to tender to the prosecution my acknowledgment of the fairness and the courtesy with which they have performed a painful duty. That fairness and that coarkey I know I had the right to expect both from the official position and the personal character of the gentlemen who have conducted it. But it is not the leas fitting that I should here acknow ledge it. I trait they will pardon any impatience which I may have exhibited in a long and anxious struggle. And now, air, this contest is over. I have fought a battle which is not mise Mom but that of every one who may be similarly placed. I have fought the battle of the English army against secret conspiracy and anonymous slander. There is no one so high whom such treacherous blows may not teach; there is no one so low that be can escape this crawling venom. If in exhibiting the triumph of truth and expiring the machinations of falsehood I shall have contributed to deter men from the repetition of such attempts ; if from this example others shall have learnt not to give too ready an ear to imputations upon the homer of absent men serv ing their country abroad; if the experieoce of this trial shall make such another event impomible, the English army and the English nation will have gained by my loss ; and mach as I lure suffered I shall have the satisfaction of feeling that I have at lent not suffered in vain. I have fought this gigantic battle, and I have fought it alone. I have fought it with no friend but Truth and no protector but the All-knowiog and the Almighty. My enemies ' name is legion, but against such defence their malignity was im petus for harm. They have sought my shame, and they lave seem:imbibed their own. They have attempted my rain. I will not deny them the satistactioo of knowing that they will have partly succeeded. The met of this tremendous struggle will have exhausted that Bleeder fortune which is the only provision of those who are dearer to me than myself. Sir, let them enjoy their triumph. It is the only one they will obtain. They may have ruined my fortune, my reputation is beyond their reach. They have filched from me what is but truh ; it will be for you to give me back that without which I am poor indeed. My part is done ; yours yet remains. I know what your sentence must be, because it will be in sc• credence with the evidence and according to the troth. I mama hope that you will in every detail consider my conduct faultless. I cannot expect that in the long course of these trying mete you may not discover in my behaviour, under unexampled difficulties, some errors of judgment and some defects of temper. I can only say, let those who are without such sins cast at me the first atone. Bat of them grave and serious charges I know you moat absolve me, for I know I am innocent of them. You will give me back my character ; you will give me back my sword—a sword which has been for thirty years —aye, and which shall be misia—at the service of a satins at whom !lands, in the languap of the charge, I have suffered great and grievous hardships." Yoe will %edema what remains to me of life from dielionour, and you will rescue my memory from diegrus. Sir, I await the sentence of the court. _ _ There was general cheering when Colonel Crawley net down, which the court took no step to suppress. After a brief adjouruntest, Colonel Crawley saked Colonel Pipon to read a letter be Lad addressed to the Horse (Nerds, requesting the produc tion of Sir Hugh Rose's historical memoir of the 6th Dra goons. Colonel Plpon reed the letter and the reply. The latter, which was signed by Sir J. Y. Scarlett, ad)jutant-General, sad dated Dec. 16, 1643, stated that his Royal Highness the Pield.kfanhal Commandieg-in-Chief considered the pro duction of the document in question would be detrimental to the public serrios, and was therefore unable to sanction its biting penance& Sir G7KZltusell Cleric,K.C.B., yea them celled by Colonel Quigley. and having identified a letter bearing testimony to the character of the thawed, as having been written by him, it wee read. Its effect was that the writer had known Colonel Crawley ails°. 1842 en &highly honourable man and • gentleman is all his ideas, with a just mimeo( that dis cipline witbunt which good order anywhere wee impossible. Likely he was in command of his regiment in the presiden cies in which be (Sir B.

Lord Auckland, when governor-general, orphaned himself in high terms of Colonel Crawley when introducing him to the writer, who had gimps considered that good opinion well deserved. Such being Colonel Crawley 's character, be ',sant course in capable of any set of cruelty or malice towards man or woman in any regiment under his command or out of it. Gemini!

It will be within the recollection of our renders that these suits relate to the shares soil interests of the parties to them in two newspapers, called the Sporting Life, and the BeNire. The bill in the first wait was filed 'pilot Mr. Beeton and Mr. ai •at Urtti. tosetabisbanallegedpertnershipbetwean the plaintiff, Mr. Iluttou, aid the defendant, Mr. Bs tom, in the newopapera. The hill in the armed cult had for its object the specific performance of an alleged agreement for the ode of the newspapers, to Mr. Beaton. In November, 1862. Mr. Heston was, by an order made in the suit of Huttou v. Berton, appointed the receiver of the two papers. the causes came on to be argued befoae the last long vaca tion; and his Honour having heard viva voce evidence as to the various matters in dispute, tinnily, on the and November last, node a decree dismissing this bill, in the first surf, with costs • but. in the second, he directed the agreement for the sale of the papers to Mr. Beeton to be specifically performed, and an amount to he taken of what (if anything) was due to Mr. al•Murray from Mr. Becton. under the agreement. The minutes of the decree bad been prepared, and they received liberty to ap ply "as to any further sum so be paid to the credit of the cause of ' Hutton Y. Beeton,' by Mr. Baotou pursuant to this order." and provided that Mr. Bootee should pass his final account, as receiver, and pay the balance thereof iota court. Mr. Becton bad some ac counts to pass in the canoe of Hutto° v. Baotou, under the order appointing him receiver therein ; but the proper time for passiog those Recounts had elapsed. He now coeteoded that as the bill in the first suit had been dismissed es against him with costa, be was not boned to pass any farther ac counts in it, but was entitled to be discharged forthwith. The causes were therefore set down in the paper to-day, to be spoken to upon the minutes, on behalf of Mr. Beetoo, with reference to his contention. Mr. Matins, Q.C., and Mr. E. K. Kerslake appeared for Mr. Becton. and insisted that he was under the circum stances relieved from rendering any further accouute in the first suit, and might be discharged from his receivership at once; especially as there was in reality no necessity for hie further accounting, sod the expense of his so doing would be very great. The Attorney• General, Q.C., Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. T. Tirrell appeared for Mr. Hutton ; and Sir kind Cairns, Q.C.. and Mr. Swanston for Mr. It'llurray. The Vice-Chancellor said that until all the accounts were taken the receiver could not be discluirged, and the order must be according to the minutes as they stood. Mr. Beeton'a applicatiou could not therefore be entertained, but must be refused with costs. COURT OF QIIKINII BENOH.—Drs. 17. After Term sittings at Nil Primo at Guildball.—(f3eforn Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a spatial jury.) - LINDSAY M.P. AND OTHIMS V. LIATHLEY. The further heertog of this case was resumed this morn- Mi. The plaintiff's case was concluded about midday. Mr. Bovill, q.c., then addresaed the Jury for the defend ant, shadowing forth the facts he relied on and the nature of the evidence he should call. The learned counsel's ad dress occupied nearly the remainder of the day. It is doubt ful whether the trial will be finished by Saturday night. The case in that event will have occupied the court the whole week, to the prepulios of other urgent and important trials. SECOND COURT. After Term Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guiklhall.—(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.) BARN= V. =MIT AND ANOTHILIt. _ _ This was aits7rdisO iosfrrulTle;tly repeating that a certain person wee a man of credit, when in fact he was not so, whereby the plaintiff had been deprived of the value of bis goods. There was ale a count for conspiracy. The de fendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Serjeant Bellantine and Mr. Kelley were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Eyre Lloyd, were counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff is a commission agent, and the defendant' are warehousemen carrying on busineu 4 the City, and the plaintiff complained that he had been induced to trust • French house with whom the defendants were concocted with goods on their false representation that the party was a person of credit, they well knowing the contrary when the representation was made. A difficulty arose at the commencement of the cue, the defendants relying on the 9th Geo. IV., commonly known as Lord Tentendon's Act, which enacted that verbal words relative to the credit of another was not sufficient on which to found an action, but that it moat be in writing. The learned serjeant admitted that in the case of one person the action would not lie, but he ingeniously put it that two persons acting together in making • false representation were guilty of a conspiracy, which he urged so altered the case as to take it out of the provisioos of the act. Mr. Justice Blackburn said the conspiracy might be the subject of an indictment, but he was clearly of opinion, for this action to be sustained, that the words declared upon most be In writing, and not serial Mr. Powell said the case of " Haslook y. Fergueson" (7th Adolphus and Ellis). was a direct case in point I Mr. Justice Blackburn said he should rule that the pre sent action would not lie. _ _ The plaintiff wiu, then noesuited, with leave to move the court on the point, and his lordship stayed execution for costa to allow the plaintiff to move mat term. Mr. Powell said that if the case had been gone into the defendants would have shown they were trusting the French house to a large amount, sad that they acted in perfect good faith. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Dnc. yr, Sittings at Nisi Pries at Gitilliesll—(Bstors Mr: Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.) NICHAILIS V. DAVIS._ This wan action for goods bargaieed for and sold and on an soeoest stated. The defendant pleaded never indebted ; secondly, fraud ; and thirdly, that the goods were sold for an immoral purpose. Mr. Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Kemp were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Gibbons sad Mr. Talfourd Salter for the defendant. It appeared from the opening statement of Mr. Tindal Atkinson that the plaintiff was a Premien, who for seven or eight years had kept a coffee-house and a clothes shop, at 50, St. George's-street is the East, and that the defendant had formerly been a soldier is India. last year the plaintiff took a house and shop in Grocer's-alley, leading from Well close-street to Wellelose-square and in January last com menced there a confectioner's b usiness, which he placed in the charge of his two nieces. In September the defendant ' was introduoed to him as a person desirous to purchase a business, and after some negotiatioe a written agree ment was entered into on Sunday, the 20th of that month, by which the defendant agreed to panthers the furniture for 110!., and to pay a deposit of 101. Os the following day he said be had changed his mind, and offered the plaintiff W. to be off his bargain. The plaintiff refused to cancel the agreement, and the defendant having failed to pay the money, be shut up the shop and brought this action. At brat the defendant pleaded never indebted, bat a month af terwitrils, having in the meantime changed his attorney, he added another plea to the effect that after the execution of the agreement be found that it was a brothel, and refined to complete the purchase. The learned cone eel said that this allegation was wholly unfounded, hut that even if it were not it was no defence to the action. lliitthias Lateens, the plaintiff, who was ailed, rid that both he and tbs defendant were members of the Hebrew persuasion. He positively denied that the booze in Graces allay was kept by him as a brothel, and that he let it to tbe defendant for carrying on such a business. Os cross•e:amination he said his principal business was going on board ships to measure sailors for clothes, and getting them ready, sad keeping a coffee-boues. He ad mitted that he let out beds at the route:4l°B4es shop, but ✓id be never allowed any females to sleep there except hi. nieces. On the pert of the defence, the defendant, Thomas Devi., was called. He rid be bad purchased his discharge from the ladies army, and came to ibis country it May, 1863. Before he entered into the agreement the plaintiff told him that be took 121. a week by selling cakes io the shop, but afterwards be said that if he kept a couple of sailor'. girls he would do • good busiest.. He (defendant) replied that be could not keep such • low boom. 113 It would not suit him, mod haying ascertained upon subsequent inquir► that it was a brothel, he refused to complete the purchase. Other evidence was adduced to prove the alleged character of the house, but ,it was Dot of • very positive wawa. ;!.cousiderable body of witoeues were called on the part of the plaintiff to rebut this testamooy, and to show that the house time respectably conducted. lir. Baron Bramwell, to summing up, left it to the jury to any whether plaintiff bad been guilty of fraud in repreeent ingthat the house was respectable. • jury, after a brief deliberation, said they were divided in the proportion of 7 to 5. They were time lucked up shortly before 7 o'clock, but bad nut returned into court at a late hour. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dic. 17. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) 1117,OZNALD V.

Dr. Pettigrew stated that the respondent had coif eased to Lim Ilia intrigue with Mn.a Mallet, and had baud"! him some of her bitters which be had returned. In the summer of 1861, while Mrs. Fitzgerald was with witness. some let ters were brought to him. Major Fiirgerskl had desired witness to tmosroit to Mrs. Fitzgerald soy letters that might come to bin. at his club. One of the letters that came was one which witting, gave to her. Told Major Fitzgerald what be had done. The letter produced is in the same handwriting as the other letters of Mrs. Mallet : " I entteat you to help me a little. It is ao very selfish of you sot ; and if I did not absolutely require it I never would ask. Pray write at once, and send me aometbiog before Igo away to Norfolk. O. stays here.

As far as witness could observe the parties were living on the best terms on which a husband and wife could live. Never saw anything more kind than Major Fitzgerald's conduct to the petitioner. Was on terms of intimacy with them. Hid not attend the petitioner in her oonfinement, but saw the child. Them was sothiag the matter with it. Previous to the last confinement the respondent was so exceedingly attentive to his wife in her illness that witness spoke to him on the sub ject. It was about the time of Sinethuises trial, and wit ness said that people might talk about him if he continued to do for his wife things that ought only to be done by a nurse. After the separation he was so excited and depressed that witness begged him to come and stay in his house. He used to go out in witness's Car' riage while he went his rounds, in order that be might have some one to talk to. His whole wievereatioo was about his wife, and be wu excessive distressed shoat the separa tion. Respondent asked witness to tell him what to do. Recommended bim to apply to his father, and to act by Lord William's advice. He was embarr assed by Mrs. Mallet's constant applications to him for money. Had con versed with Mrs. Bettisworth about the separation, and bad expressed an *Rion that there should beg reconciliation. Mrs. Bettisworth said, "Would you have my daughter live with an adulterer '^ Replied that if witness thought the major was an adulterer he would not have advised Mrs. Fitzgerald to live with him. By the Judge—Had recommended the parties to live apart for about a year after the third confinement on ac count of Mrs. Fitsgerald's health. She was of an excitable temperament. but was excessively amiable. (A laugh.) John Smith Fisher, a pianoforte tuner and carpenter, said that in 1859 he had seen Major Fitzgerald at Captain Mal- let's, No. 4, Scarsdale Villas, where witness was employed. Saw him there also in the following year. He used to come when Captain Mallet was not at home. There was a ser vant there named Kelly. The Mallets had a boy named Greville. -- A plan of Scarsdale Villas and of Abingdon Villas was pot in. The depos!tion of J. Cornelius Kelly (wbo bad since died) was tben tendered, and after a considerable contest at the bar as to its admissibility, it wss rejected. . . . _ - The deposition of Lilly ilia* Beauirere was then read. She stated that she had known the Mallets in Dublin. Her sister had been in their *orrice as nurse, and witness bad bees allowed to stay with her a few days. Captain Mallet had apartments at the Castle. Believed he was something in the Foreign-office. While witness was at the Castle, Major Fitzgerald frequently called on her. Saw him three Croce in her bedroom, and once she was lying on a sofa while he sat by. Could not tell if she was lying on her side or not, her crinoline was so large. (A laugh.) Koew her also in Soandale Villas. Was servant to bar, and bad also lived is Abingdon Villas opposite. Had seen Major Fitzgerald kiss her three times, and had also seen them am. btacin. A quantity of documentary 'silence was then put In. Amoopt these was a character which Major Fitzgerald had given to Kelly, who was butler to the Mallets, and whom he stated he had known for two years. There were also a number of letters from the respondent to the petitioner; of which the following may be taken se a specimen : - " August 30, 1861. "My Darling Wife,—l got the draft.

This. was the adjourned sitting for examination sad discharge. The debts are 7.403/. ; saute, in good debts and property, about 6001. The bankrupt states her expenditure is the two yearn preceding the bankruptcy at 1501. and 2001. The principal creditor is Signor Gerdoni, resident in Paris, whose debt is 3,1481. Mr. Sargood, on behalf of the bankrupt, stated that there had been a depreciation of upwards of 1,0004 in realising the estate, which accounted for the small amount of meets. Mr. E. Reed said the assignees wished for further time, to examine the amounts, which had only been filed wean dsys. The bankrupt had carried on her business in partnership with one Pilotti ( also a bankrupt), and Ternburini, the celebrated vocalist, bad become a partner in 1857, sgreelog to bring in 3,0004, end receive half the profits. He had only brought in 1,5004. and the partnership was dissolved in 1861, a bond for 3,0001. being then given to Signor Giar dini. Large amounts were owing to the firm at the dims. lotion of the parturship with Tambunni ; and as he was liable to the person who were then creditors, the assignees wished to have a list of those creditors. As the bankrupts late partner, Pilotti, was now bankrupt, it was asked that the proceedings in the two cases should be consolidated under the 88th sectioo, and that the bankrupts should come up to be heard together. The bankrupt, examined (her son acting as interpreter), deposed that she entered into partnership nail Pilotti in 1848 ; they continued partners until the bankruptcy ; there were no written articles of partnership. Up to 1657 there were no profits to divide. or they would have been divided equally. la 1856 Tamhurini joined the firm. He was to bring in 3,0004 He paid down 1,5004, and was to pay 6 par out. on the other 1,500!. He was so receive half the profits, the other ball to be divided between the bankrupt and Pilotti. The partnership with Tamburini was dissolved in 1861, and Signor Garden' then lent the bank rupt 1,5001., in order to relieve his brother-in.law, Tam banish from farther liability. To secure this and the 1,5001. originally advanced by Tamberisi, a hood for 3,0004 was given to Gardoni.

Temburini employed an agent to look into the affairs of the finis. Pilotti became bankrupt es the same day as herself, hut on a separate petition. They had traded as " Madame Peuliue." Pilotti was a teacher of music ; his earnings beyond his private expanses went into the partnership food. Mr. Sawed coateaded that the application for coesolida. tics ought only to be made on affidavits, and that the ac co its already filed were sufficiently explanatory of the transactions of the firm.

(Before Mr. Bares Latin.) TEE HIIIDR AT WIITITLESIT. Ade Orem, a labourer, 25 years of age, was charged with the murder of Elizabeth Brown, et Whittlacy. on the 12th of Nardi, 18113 ; sod William Georie Smedley. de scribed NI 'master, age 45, we■ charged that he did felo niously receive, harbour, sad maintain the said John Green, well know*/ him to have done and committed the felony aforesaid. The ore excited great interest, and the court all day I , was very full Excellent arrangement were, however, made by the person, in charge, so that at no time was it in- , conveniently crowded. This trial should have Mks. place at the last summer moires, but quite unexpectedly, and at the last moment, the prisoner Smedley, who before the , magiateates and ooroper bad been examined as • witness for the prosecution, was given into custody and indicted jointly , • with the prisoner Green. Mr. Metcalfe was then instructed to defend both prisoners, awl feeling embarrassed by this sudden step on the part of the prosecution, applied to the late Mr. Justice Wightmsn fur the postponement of the ' trial. After seem discussion and consultation with the Lord I Chief Bane, the application was granted. ' To-day Mr. Keene stated the case for the prosecution, and the following narrative will embody what he said. Mr. Whyte is a Imitator , having large ~remises is the town of Whittlesey, sod bothprisoner ., a t the time of the murder, were in his employment—Green ea • labourer, the e lder prisoner as foreman. Adjoining the omit- ing is • public-house called the George and Star ; and on the night preceding the murder there • was a dance at the house. The prisoner Green and the ' woman were there (Green only at the dance), and at about half-pest one in the morning were bat seen leaving the house together, going down the lane in • direction for the malting. This was the last time she was seen alive, sad bets ma that time and 6 o'clock the prosecution say the pow creature was barbarously murdered. A native of I Whittlesey, she had led • very immoral life, and at the time of her death was about 35 years of age, living in a cot- tem slow, gaining her livelihood by prostitution. The prisoner Green is a married man, and also • native of the place, and lived at Inham's End. It seems that in Whittle soy the ancient custom of ringing a morning bell at a quarter before six still exists, and there is a functionary styling himself the public bellrtoger. Ou the morning of the 12th of March he was going rather late to the church belfry when he war sthrtled by • sound as of • door hastily shut. He looked mead towards Mr. Whyle's melting door bat saw no one, and went on to his duty. A few minute: after this • man named Stevenson, going to his work and towards loham's End, was peeped by a man running fast towards the prisoner's cottage. His braces were hanging down, and Stevenson called out, " You'll lose your brace, old partner." The man continued running, adjusted his brace, without turning, and his face was not seen, but almost immediately after two men coming from Inham's End met a man running whom they distinctly re eognised as the prisoner Green. He was well knows to both, and they saw that he was dreamed in the clothes belied been wearing the night before. A man living in • cottage next door to Green also heard about this time • noise as of some one running towards his house, and almost imme diately Green's street-door open and some one go up stairs to the bedroom. The prisoner Smedley now must come upon the scene, for on going to his work as usual to the malting, immediately upon opening the door of the kiln furnace room be found the room filled with • thick smoke, and saw the body of, as he supposed, a man lying upon a heap of smouldering sacks. He turned beck at once, and meeting in the street • man named Robinson, called to him, "Jim, Jim, make haste, Jim, Jack Green's got burned to dead. I know he's dead, for he can't speak. He's in the kiln house." Robinson at once went, and Smedley with him ; they were soon joined by more, and Mr. Crisp, • surgeon, was sent for. The doors and windows being opened and daylight becoming stronger, it was found that a settle opposite the farness door within two or three feet of the fire was burn ing, and upon a heap of pertly burnt sacks was the body of a woman, partly weatmed and still humbug. Water was thrown on and a door brought, upon which the remain were placed. It was • horrible sight. She was lying on her back radioing towards the left aide, the hands were clenched, the knees drawn up towards the body, the tongue protruding sod almost Mite* in halves by the teeth, the features much burnt away, the eyeballs collapsed from fire, and much of the tissues and muscles destroyed. On at • tempting to raise the body it was found that the left arm was broken in an oblique direction between the shoulder and elbow, and not only broken, but the part from the fracture removed as by some iustrunient, for the edges of the bone were clear and nutouched by fire. This part of the arm was never found. and on a minute examination made by Mr. Crisp. some of the rite were found fractured as if by some instrument and untouched by the fire. From these circumstances there can seem little doubt the poor wee. tare was cruelly murdered before an attempt was made to burn the body. Green, who usually came to hie work a little before six, did not arrive this morning so early, and was sent for by Smedley. His wife answered the messenger how the bedroom window, and soon after Green came to the place and assisted with others in disposing of the re maim. The same morning, about eight o'clock. Smith, the superintendent of police, in the presence of Mr. Whyte, spoke to Green, who was then at his work, asking him what time be left the malting the night before, sod when he got home. Be turned pale, looked confused , a nd said he left the malting about half-past eight, and was at home in bed by eleven o'clock. Being asked further if he had seen Elizabeth Brown last night, he said he saw her in the George and Star taproom, but never maw her afterwards. Shortly after be was taken in custody, and it was then observed that his clothes smelt strongly of burning, and his hair was slightly singed. lie said to the policeman, "Oh pray don't, don't, pray don't," and trembled violently. New the body of the woman was found a cep belonging to him, and which some women who had seen him in the George and Star the night before be lieved he them wore. It appeared though that this cap was one worn by Green in the malting, and which he usually left hanging in the plane when he left his work. A son of the prisoner Smedley was called for the prosecution, and explained that the malting doors had Chubb's locks, and were always carefully locked by his father upon leaving work. If the prisoner Green could possess himself of the keys he might have entered and admitted the women, but nothing seemed disturbed, mod there was no unusual appear ance with the exception of a window, a pane of which was broken, as it was suggested, from the inside,. and some foot marks on the yard gate, and an impression of a boot on some ice on the top of a water cask that stood inside the gates. It may now be asked, but bow is Smedley impli. cited He was a witness in the first instance before the magistrates against the prisoner Green in March, and be tween that time arid the assists in July it seems to have come to the knowledge of Mr. Smith, the solicitor for the prosecution and clerk to the magistrates at Whittlesea, that oaths morning of the murder, as Smedley was returning from the malting after be had dis covered the body lying on the floor, before giving an alarm, he met the driver of the wail cart, who was tottery a penal for him, and that he asked if be bad received it ; being told be bad, instead of telling what he had just seen he told the next man he met, whom it will be remembered he addressed as "Jim ! Jim !'' The mail cart driver told Mr. Smith there seemed nothing unusual in Smedley's manner, and upon Mr. Smith confronting the driver and Smedley, the latter admitted he said nothing to the driver, but " he was frightened, he did not know," His present master (Mr. Whyle) had employed him for the last two years, and upon entering his service be came with • character for good conduct from his last employer, with whoni he had been for 20 years and upwards. Upon such evidence Smedley was gine into custody, and bee had this chat ge batwing over his bead for five months. To-day the evidence only went ea far as this; and upon Mr. Keane continuing to call wit names who could prove no more Mr. Baron bitirtin interposs;l, sod said, in his opinion, there was no more • ease against Smedley than against himself (the learned judge). There was no evidence what ever that he knew any felony had been committed, and in law, unless it could be clearly shown that he knew of the felony, and then assisted the felon, be could not be con victed. The prosecution against Smedley was then withdrawn, and the case closed against Green. and it being nearly five o'cloc The e fearned Judge said he should not sum up the case to-night, and would, if Mr. Metcalfe wished, now adjourn. The learned counsel, however, elected to address the jury on behalf of his client at once, and urged strongly upon the jury %homey unsatisfactory nature of the medical testi mony. To-morrow the evidence of the surgeons shall be noticed more folly, as well as the arguments of the counsel for the prisoner. The Court adjourned at the conclusion of Mr. Metcalfes speech. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERKENWELI. Emma Williams, alias Case, living in Judd.street, and Susan Thomas, of 15, Brunswick-street, prostitute*, were charged with assaulting Anna Weymouth, • prostitute, residing et 51, Liverpool-street, lales-Cebell, and stealing a Paisley shawl, a muff, and other articles, of the value of V. 10s., in Judd-street, St. Pancraa. From the evidence tt appeared that the prosecutrix, as she was returning home through Judd-street, was accosted by the prisoners, who scuffled with her, struck her a blow on the forehead and knocked her down. They stole her muff and Psialry shawl, and also her gold locket and charms. They were pulling her dress off her when they were area by a police-constable, and on his going towards them they made off. They were followed to North-place. Cromer-street, • place full of low sod notorious brothel; and were apprehended. the promeutrix's muff and shawl being found in the house. The locket and other articles could not be found. When the prisoners were told the charge they at first said that they knew the prosecotaix, and that they were hiking care of her property, and afterwards denied that they had seen the PlCt y. complainant, who had • mark on her forehead, the effect of one of the blows given to her by the prisoner; said that she did not know either of them. She was an unfortunate woman, sad was the won, for liquor at the time. She was certain that abs was struck by the pritiosers, and that they stole her property, and had it not been for the arrival of the police she was certain that they would have stoles her gown sad petticoats.

The Sisters, Rowland-road, Wilton, Dec. 17. THE CONDEMNED MURDERER, TOWNLEY. After sentence of death had been passed upon Townley, on Saturday, he was removed to a private room in the County Clan, where ha made a hearty dinner imme diately afterwards. Toweley's mother and aunt were in the sheriff's gallery during the trial, bat when Mr. Baron Martin was bringing his summing up to a close, Mr. Bourner, the actiug under-sheriff's clerk, node a corn municetion to them, and they immediately withdrew, proceeding to the County Hot el, close by. The statement thaWrovroley's father was in court during the passing of the sentence is incorrect. He had est beside his so licitor, Mr. Leech, during the trial, but happened to be oat of court at the time the jury gave in their verdict, and was thus spared the epeeist' of bearing his eon condemned to die upon the scaffold. On the intelligence being broke to Mrs. Townley she was completely prostrated, and Mr. Gisborne wee called in to attend her. The condemned criminal was got away from the court by a ruse on the part of the governor, and his departure was not witnessed by the dense mob who bad congregated outside the court. On arriving at the goal his clothes were taken from him and the prison dress substi tuted, and he was conveyed to the condemned cell, where two turokeysremain with him day and night. His father and mother had an interview with him the same evening, and we believe Mr. Moody, M.P., chairman of the visiting justices, has given then, permission to pay frequent visits to their unhappy son, a privilege which they avail them selves of very freely. In addition to the assistance of the gaol chaplain, Townley has the privilege of selecting a spiri tual adviser during the brief time he has to live, and he men tioned the name of the Rev. Mr. Gordon, of Manchester, a clergyman of the established church, and that rev. gentle man arrived in Derby on Monday morning last, and had an interview with him in his cell oo that day and also on Tues day. The Rev. Mr. Moore, the gaol chaplain, also visits him daily. His condemnation has not made the lightest alteration in his demeanour. Hepartakes of bis meals heartily, sleep. well, and repeatedly smarts that he was perfectly justified in taking away his victim's life, and that he feels no remorse for the deed. We understand his friends are actively engaged in getting up memorials to the Home Secretary, not only from Derby, but also from Manchester. Of course the royal clemency is asked for on the ground of insanity, and it is stated that the memorial will be influentially supported by medical men and the general ',Wolk. The high sheriff has fixed the execution to take place at noon on Friday, the Ist day of January (New Year's Day), the interval between the seateoce and execution being rather more protracted than is usually the case. The Advertiser of today says :—" It gives as a special gratification to be able to animism that not only has Mr. Baron Martin adopted the view which we expressed on the morning after the sentence of death was pared on George Townley, as to the present state of his mind, but tha l t or X recommendation to the Home Secretary which we then made has been acted on by the learned kedge. Mr. Baron Martin concurs with us in the opinion that, though Townley may have been sufficiently roe at the time he committed the murder of Mies Goodwin to be legally responsible for his acts, there are good grounds to doubt his present sanity. The learned heron also concurs in and enforces the sag. gestion we then made, namely, that application should be made to the Home Secretary, Sir George Grey, for the ap pointment of a commission to inquire into the existing state of Townley's mind. This suggestion is so reasonable in itself, and comes with so much weight when made by the judge who prodded at the trial, that we cannot doubt the Home Secretary will adopt it." MARKETS.

The German houses are still doing nothing. The Holstein ques tion prevents operations, its influence being most marked in its results upon this market. Spinners are well employed upon unexpired contracts, and, as they find no change in the quotations for wool, they are exceedingly firm in the maintenance of prices. The piety branch remains without change. The close of the year is usually • quiet time, owing principally to stock-taking, and this year there are no special circumstarices to make it otherwise.
