The tear...marten thought the proper coursewas to do no more that simply tax the bills.—Mr. R. Palmer sum ported the Viemehencellor's decision.

Bu- 1 chums " (9 Simone). and " In re Smith " (9 Bevan). The Lord Chancellor said the question depended on the construction of the act 2 Geo. 11., c. 23. Payments might made to a solicitor not in discharge (Able costs, but in payment of other debts, and each could not be subject to taxation. The question was, how the officer of the court was to execute th e e order of reference. It was not disputed that payments wer made to the solicitor in this c ase. If he received such pay ments in his character of solicitor to the client, the question wits whether there were not applicable to his costs. It was sot necessary to decide whether a general account of pay ments to the solicitor could be taken under the common order for taxation of his bills. Toe cases cited 'bowed that that could not be done. The appelant objected that any monies received by him for the client, and not agreed to be applied to the payment of the costs, were not subject to taxation. There would be much inconvenience in laying down that rule. His lordship then exsmined the cases that were cited, and observed, that in none of them was it held that the master might not, under the common order to tax, take an account of monies admitted by the solicitor to have been received by him in his character of solicitor for the client. His lordship came to the conclusion that the taxing master ought to have taken an account of the monies so re ceived in this case, and set them off against the bill of costa. Large sums were often paid out of court to solicitors for their clients, and though they were not received expressly towards payment of costs, the master, in his taxation, should tike an account of them ; that was not a general account of all tran sactions between the parties.—llis lordship was of opinion that the Vice-Chancellor's order was quite consistent with the authorities on the subject, and dismissed the appeal with casts. NEWTON V. RICRETTB.—EEECCTORB OF A DISPUTED WILL.—INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN THEM FROM PARTING WITH THEIR TESTATOR 8 ESTATE REEL:RED. — The bill in this cm was filed by Mrs. Newton, and her infant children, by their next friend, for the purpose of restraining the defen dants, Lady Ricketts and other surviving executors of the will cf Sir Robert Ricketts, deceased, from transferring 40,0001., Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., part of the said testator's persoaal estate, standing in their names in the books of the Bank of England. Mrs. Newton is a daughter of the testator and of the defendant Lady Ricketts, and she some time back instituted a suit in the Ettlesiastical Court to recall probate of the will granted to the defendants, on the grounds that it was not the true will of her father, Sir R. Ricketts. A decree was pronounced in that suit requiring the defendants to bring the probate into court, and they obeyed that decree, but no evidence or other proceeding has yet been taken to avoid the will. A dis- • tringse was served ea the Bank of England to prevent the transfer of the funds ; bar!, on the expiration of the usual time in such cases, the Bank gave the ;Asian& notice that, unless an injunction was duly obtained within a certain time they (the Bank) would consider themselves at liberty to allow a transfer of the said stock if required by those in whose names such stock was standing. Upon that notice being served on the plaintiffs ILE application was made to the Mseter of the Rolls in their behalf for an injunction, which his lordship refused. This was en appeal front his lordship. Mr. Newton (of the common law bar, and husband of Mrs. Newton, the plaintiff), in suppirt of the appeal, stated the general facts of the cams in the Ecclesiastical Court, and in another suit (besides the present) between the same parties in this court ; and he contended that, pending the suit to annul the probate, though it was still doubtful what the re sult of it would he, this court ought, and was bound, to issue the injunction, and also grant a receiver for the protection of the deceased's estate. Ile cited " Andrews v. Powys" (2 Brown's Parliamentary Cases) and subsequent authe rities—The Lord Chancellor, without hearing Mr. Res pell and other counsel who appeared to oppose the motion, said that he did not find any imputations made on the character of the executors, and they were still in the exercise of the legal right over the feeds in question. The decree already made in the cause in the Ecclesiastical Court was in common form, and it did not im peach the will, which may or may not turn out to be a valid will. The proeeediek so far uit had gone, would not jus tify this court to anticipate the result to be unfavourable to I the defendants, nee to interfere with the jurisdiction of the Eadesiastical Court. Shen were eases in which, upon proof of improper conduct or character of executors, or where pro bate had not been granted, this court would appoint a receiver, and grant an injunction, to preserve the property in dispute. His lordship then stated several cases, some not cited by counsel, in illustration of the principles on which this court would interfere for the preservation of property ha litigation ; but his lordship was clearly of opinion that the resent Case aid not warrant any such interference, and lee dismissed the motion with costa. Ix THE MATTER OF DYCE SORIIRS, A LUNATIC. — There were several petitions standing over in this metier, awaiting the report of Drs. Southey and Bright, who hare been ordered to re-examine the lunatic at his own request, with • view to obtain a supersedeas of the commission, or some relaxation under it.—Mr. K. Parker and Mr. .7 H. Palmer were beard in support of a petition of Mr. Cop. pock, a solicitor end agent for parliamentary elections, pray ing that the Master's report in his favour be confirmed, and that payment might be ordered to him out of the lunatic's estate of a sum of 9111., fourd by the report to be due nibble on account of expenses incurred in defending before a par liamentary committee the lunatic's return for the borough of Sudbury. It appeared from the learned counsel's statements that Lord Lyndhurst (Chancellor), upon application to him for au order for this payment, directed a reference to the master in lunacy to enquire into the dealings and name.- lions between the petitioner and the lunactic. On that reference Mr. Coppock was examined by the counsel for the committees of the person and f estate of the electl unati n c ; and Mr. it appeared that for the purpese the io of Dye. Sombre (he was not found lunatic till long after this transaction), for Sudbury, he gave Mr. Coppock a cheque upon Coutta and Co. for 3,0001., which Mr. Coppoek got cashed, and then banded the proceeds to a Mr. Massey. who went down to Sudbury and got Mr. Dyes Sombre returned. Every item of that ex penditure was satisfactorily accounted for to Mr Dyce Sombre himself, and, he being perfectly satisfied, the vouchers or papers connected with the transaction were de stroyed. There was another sum of 3301. which Mr. Cop pock was authorised by Mr. Dyce Sombre to distribute among the charitable institutions in the said borough, and the money was so applied. These were customary gifts from persons representing the boroneh in parliament. So pleased was Mr. Dyes Sombre with Mr. Coppock, that he gave him unlimitted authority to take all proper means to defend his return, which was questioned before a com mittee of the House of Commons. It was in that defence that the 9111. now claimed by the petitioner was expended. The master found that sum to be due to the petitioner, who, in his examination before hint, gave as explicit an ac count of the expenditure as could be given under the eircum stancen—The Lord Chancellor observed, that it did not ap pear by the report that the muter inquired into " the deal ing' and transactions" between the petitioner and Mr. Dyce Sombre, according to the order of reference.—Mr. Palmer submitted that there were no dealings and transactions be tween them, [further than the giving and receiving the cheque ; and as to that, there was a settled account not to be disturbed : " Carmichael e'. Carmichael" (2 Phillips, 101). The Lord Chancellor—Where is the proof of the settled account? Wes Massey examined before the master f—Mr. Bethel (counsel for the committee .f the person of the lunatic) said he was not. Mr. Coppeck was asked before the master to produce him, or give his address, but he declined to comply.—Mr. Palmer : Everybody could see that there was good reason for not subjecting an agent, like Massey, to an examination as to his expenses. Mr. Dyes Sombre him self examined the accounts at the time, and was perfectly saddled with them. The Lord Chancellor, without bearing the several counsel for the committees of the person and estate of the lunatic, referred to the facts as before Matilda the application to Lord Lyndhurst, and the order of reference to the muter made by hislorelthip. It appeared that the inquirrio directed hid failed, for want of evidence of the dealings and transactions into which the inquiry was ordered to be made. Now, in the absence of any evidence in these matters, his lordship, who was the guar dian of the lunatic's estate, was asked to sanction not only an expenditure of 3,3001. of the lunatic's money without the least proof of the manner in which it was expended, but also miyment of a further sum of 0111. out of the lunatic's estate. The report failed to be satidactory in consequence of the petitioner's not furniahiog or withholding the proper evi dence before the master. The question now was, whether the committees would consent to have the report referred back to the master, to be by him reviewed upon such evidence as the petitioner would bring forward, or the petitioner would be left to his remedy at law as to the 9111.—The counsel for all parties consenting to a reference back to the master, an order to that effect was made ; the expense* to be paid by Mr. Coppock.—At 6 o'clock the court nee for the vacation.

The ques tion was, whether, where the bill bad been dismissed, not on the ground of want of title in the plaintiff., but on the ground that they were precluded by their own Lichee from asserting their right to specific performance in this court, the court would direct the deposit to be returned, or would leave the parties to their remedy by action at law.—His Honour reserved his decision upon the point. After disposing of several other matters of no public into rest, the court rose for the long vacation. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Beton Ale. Commuoioner Fene. IN RE THE Rev. 0. H. STOTEDART.—This insolvent wee supported by Mr. Bagley, in his applicatiol for an interim order. It was stated in opposition that he had 113 creditors to whom he owed about 1,2001., and, having no assets, he had taken a house at a rental of shout 1201. per annum, at a time when he owed about 9001. The insolvent was then examined by Mr. Bagley, and stated that he had been in the habit of instructing youth for the last 25 years, and was new Dean of the College of Preeeptors. He expected that when his brother (Colonel Stoddart) was killed, government would have given something, but he (the insolvent) only re ceived 1001. He bad Men struggling en for the last six years, paying off the old debts, and had instructed university gentlemen in classics. After some further discussion the interim order was granted, the insolvent undertaking to pay 401. a year for the gradual liquidation of his debts. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Won. Mr. Serjesat Mama. Fitaco.-IVillions Richardson and David King, alias Foy, were indicted for defrauding William Gledhill of the sum of 13s. On the 14th of July a fire broke out on the premises of the prosecutor, who keeps a small chandlery shop in Whitechapel, at which the fire-engines of tho White cross-street station attended. Shortly after the fire, the pri soner King called on the prosecutor's wife, and said that the clerk of the fire brigade would probably call is the course of the day. The nest minute Richardson entered, and said he was clerk to the fire brigade, and had called for a sum of motley in consideration of the services rendered by the engines on the occasion of the fire. He asked for 605., but on Mrs. Gledhill pleading the losses she had sustained, he agreed to take Ids., saving he would make it all right with the superintendent. This sum was paid into Richardson's hands, and he gave a receipt in the name of Charles Green. It transpired that Richardson was in no way connected with the fire establishment. The jury found both prisoners Guilty, and the court sentenced Richardson to six and King to four months' hard labour. ROBBERY BY A SOLIMEEL—Richard Pugh, a private in the Seoul Fusilier Guards, was indicted, with John Marlin, for stealing a watch, valise 41., from the person of Louis laegle.—The prosecutor and the prisoners were in company in Holborn-ban, about 4 o'clock on the morning of the 23rd of July, when a policeman saw Martin throw away a watch, and he asked the prosecutor, who had tken parted with the prisoners, if be had lest anything. laegle then discovered that his watch was gone.—Several witnesses gave the pri soner Martin a good character for honesty.—Pugh admitted that he had been drinking with Martin and the prosecutor, but he disclaimed all knowledge of the robbery.—The jury found the prisoner Martin Guilty, and he was sentenced to 14 days' solitary confinement. Pugh was acquitted. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCTIIT.—Ceowoox, Acores 6. Beaus Mr. Junket:unman. SEDIICTION.—MILIMS P. SIIMPHERD.—This was Lll ac tion brought by Harriet Miller against the defendant, to re cover damages for the embietion by him of her dauschter.— The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty," and also put open the record the extraordinary plea that the set was committed with the leave and license of the mother.—Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Bramwell were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Russell Gurney and Mr. Lush for the defendant. —Mr. James stated the beta, which were repeated by the first witness. Harriet Hawkins Miller, the daughter of the plaintiff. who stated that her mother is the widow of a lieu tenant in the navy, and the family consisted of herself, three sisters, and two brothers. She came home from Southampton, where she bad been engaged as a governess, to live with her mother at Walworth in 1443, and in January, 1844, she went into the service of a Mr. Connell, • perfumer and dealer in stationery, at Camberwell. The defendant became acquainted with her while she filled this situation, and he asked to be in troduced to her mother, and was soon afterwards received in the family as her suitor, and he frequently promised her marriage. The intimacy continued until April, when her mother broke it off, and ordered the defendant net to come to the house again. In June she received a letter from the defendant, in which he requested to see her, as he wanted her evidence in an action for debt which he was bringing for Mr. Connell ; but when she went he told her that it was only an excuse, and his real object was to see her and get her to renew their intimacy. The defendant still professed honour able intentions, and they again became on friendly terms. The result of their connexion was the delivery of a child in March, 1847. When she discovered that she was enceinte she informed the defendant of the fact, and he would speak to his father about marrying her, and would call on the following Sunday and let her know the result, but be did not come as be promised.— Cross-examined Witness was 29 years old. Believed the defendant was not much more than one and twenty. Be lieves that no communication was ever made to the defen dent's family of the intimacy between them. Their first intercourse took place in August, 1846, when they were walking home from the Dartmouth Arms, at Forest-hill. — Be-examined:—The defendant never contributed anything towards the child's support.—William Baker, the son-in-law of the plaintiff, proved that he went to the defendant's office, he having been recently admitted to practice se as attorney, and asked him whether he intended to fulfil his promise of marrying the young lady, and he made an appointment to meet the family and come to some arrangement. He did not do so, and witness went to him a second time, when he said that he had neser intended to marry the plaintiff's daughter, and, on being pressed to my if he had any meson for changing his mind, be replied, " Oh, there is no money, and my family would set their face against me if I was to marry her." Witness then told him that if he did not make some compensation for the injury be had inflicted upon the family Mrs. Miller would be compelled to take legal proceedings against him, and he replied that he might give his compliments' to Mrs. Miller, and tell her, that if she went to law, what would cost her a pound would not cost him sixpence. This was the ease for the plaintiff.—Mr. Gurney, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said he thought it would have been much better if the plea of leave and license by the mother had not been placed upon the record, and be admitted that he could not attempt to support such a plea. He, however, did think that there had been a went of due caution exercised by the mother in allowing her daughter to walk about with a young man who it was perfectly clear she suspected was not very regular or steady in his conduct, and that, taking into consideration the age of the young woman and of the de fendant, a very moderate amount of damages would be a sufficient compensation for the injury that bad been in flicted.—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1001. BOCKETT O. BODZIN.—AN ATTORNEY'S BILL: This was an action to recover a sum of 9791., the amount of an attorney's bill.—Mr. Russell Gurney and Mr. Baddeley were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Marsh for the defendant. — The defendant is the late member for Galway, and it appeared that in 1843 be made an application to the Law Life Assurance Society for a loan of 36,0001. on the ' mortgage of his estates in Galway and Mayo, and under taking at the same time to pay all the necessary expenses for the survey of the property. The society agreed to advance the money; and all the necessary deeds were prepared • but it appeared that when they were to be executed, Mrs. Bod kin, who had an interest in the property, refused to assign that intermit, or to execute the deed ; and the transaction was therefore completed. The present action was brought to recover the costs that had been incurred in preparing the deeds, surveying the property, fees to counsel, ete. ; and it appeared that 400!. of the amount was money actually ex pended by thed i r d. tiff.—The jury returned a verdict for the full amount c OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Motorowro, AVGCST 4. The amine terminated this afternoon at two o'clock. No case tried during the morning is worthy of note. On the preceding evening the court sat until belt--past ten, when, inter alio, the following somewhat curious charge of bur glary was tried before Mr. Junks Coleridge. ALLEGED BUROLLEY WITH VIOLIINCE.—John Williams and Christopher Greenseay were charged with buTlary in , the dwelling-house of John Thomas, at Aberystwith, on the night of the 314 of May last, with intent to kill and murder him. There were other counts: one of them laid the intent to be to do his wife, Maria Thomas, Nome grievous bodily hum.—Sir T. Phillips appeared for the prosecutor. For a lengthened period a bad custom has prevailed in this county when a man undertakes to work for an employer at a less cum than is usual with men is the same calling, to punish the offender by collecting in a body and proceeding THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY : to his abode, and there, with a great blowing of horns, yell ing, and clamour, to knee themselves into the premises, and smash all the moveables therein, and in case of opposition by the owner, to beat and punish him without inflicting any serious bodily injorv. The name by which this is known is Scotching," and for participating in it, parties from time to time have been punished under en indictment for riot and assault. The present charge was framed in order to put a stop. if possible, for the future, to these lawlese proeeediup. The prosecutor worked in the same colliery with the pri. goners, and was suspected to be in the receipt of leas weekly wisps than themselves, though there was a strike for higher wages then in contemplation. On the night in question these two men, in company with other colliers, and a mob, proceedei to the prosecutor's house, which stood in a row of 14, and brake all the windows and smashed every article of furniture in the kitchen ; the prisoner Williams, with two ether men, then went upstairs, and, uttering barbarous threats, searched for the prosecutor, and threatened to kill his wife, if she did not tell where he was. They however, did her no in- jury, and were unarmed, except with tin horns. The resin defence set up by Mr. Skinner and Mr. Cooke wag, that the prisoners had no intention whatever of killing the man, or doing him any personal violence ; he was under the fed during the search, and if any injury had been intended, they would not fail to have looked for him in the most likely of all places an alibi was also sworn to for each of them. The jury, after Mr. Justice Coleridge had summed up, found that the prisoners were at the prosecutor's house on the night in question, but not with the intents charged. This amounted to a verdict of Not Guilty. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Wanwiex, AVOUST 5. The business for the Coventry division of this county finished at an early hour yesterday. On the crown side there were 32 prisoners, the whole of the offences charged being, with one or two exceptions, nothing beyond passions cases. This county, for assize purposes, is parcelled out into two divisions, which has been productive of great practical inconvenience, and has been alluded to as such, both by were of the judges and grand jurors. Mr. Baron Rolfe, these very assizes :took occasion to advert to the circumstance. For the Warwick division the commission was opened yes. terday, with twenty-eight causes, four are special juries, and a calendar containing the names of forty-five prisoners. Of Saar one is charged with murder, one with manslaughter, mom with burglary, one with intent to do grievous bodily hares, the rest being common cases of stealing. Before Lord Denman Ind a Common Jury. HAYWARD V. BROOKES AND ANOTHER, ExECOTORS. — AMON tinge PlicodilleB.—Mr. Miller and Mr. Adams for the plaintiff, Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., for the defendants. The plaintiff in this case is a twachmaker, residing at Birming ham; the defendants are the executors of Mr. John Brookes, a farmer, late of Lapworth, and the ac tion war brought to recover compensation in damages for injuries done to a gig lent by the plaintiff to Mr. Brookes, as far back es 1844, and which had not been returned until the latter part of 1846, and was then returned in a state that required an outlay of 121. to restore it to its former condition, for which sum the present action was brought. —Mr. Humfrey for the defendants stated that a more paltry action than the present had never bum brought into a court of justice. The plaintiff had bass y ing his genres/es to a daughter of the late Mr. that young lady being in delicate health was adviesElq Mr medical attendant to take carriage exercise, the plaintiff I thereupon lent the gig in question for the accommodation a Miss Brookes. During the time it was in use it received some injury from an accident; but, upon its being told to the plain tiff by Miss Brookes herself, he begged her not to say another wnrd about it, that the damage sustained would be set right for thirty shillings or two pounds. In 1846 the father died, and it being soon found out that he had not left so much money behind him as was expected, the plaintiff ceased after the first month from paying those attentions he had paid before, and, in the end, brought the present action against his intended father-in-law's executors for the injury done to the gig. The facto as stated by the counsel for the defendants were proved by the y oung lady and her mother ; and the jury immediately gave a verdict for the defendants.

When the medial men ante to esalyse the stomach and intestiaes, they fund between thirty and forty grains of arsenic and all the marks of inilasmatica and irritation that would result from taking arsenical guns, and they bare no doubt that this poor woman died drum taking arsenic, ad ministered to her by degrees, in small doses, time after time, and that her sufferings mud have been dreadful. The greater portion of these facts were deposed to in the course of the day by a large number of witnesses. The woman Cain admitted that the prisoner carried on a criminal intercourse with her up to the time of his wife's death, re presenting himself a widower ; and a person named William Graham, who was in the shop of Mr. Carlisle, druggist, on Whitsunday hiring night, when a man came to purchase arsenic, swore that the prisoner was the man who bought it, and that the packet given to him was labelled, " Arsenic— Poieon." The evidence for the prosecution bad proceeded thus far when the court rose, it being eight o'clock. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—CmEoratt, Auo. 4. Tun Binur.:CHEAD AREION CAgS.—Joseph Clayton and Ralph lWeWafer were arraigned for arson at Birkenhead, and pleaded not guilty. — Mr. To wnsend, for the prosecution, made application for the postponement of the trial. Tho charge was an attempt to defraud an insurance com pany. They were only committed on Friday lost. It was necessary for the prosecution to produce a certain policy of insurance for 10001., made in May, 1341, with the Sun Fire Office. It was thought to be in the possession of Clay ton. Notice to produce had been given, and it had been searched for; Clayton's wife had stated that it was with her brother at Wantage, in Berkshire. It was now too late to produce either policy or secondary evidence at these assizes. Mr. Temple, for the prisoners, resisted the application at some length, and contended that the declarations of Clay ton's wife could not be received.—The Judge : Why not? It is not evidence for the jury, but an application to the court on affidavit ; and it was the constant practice to insert hearsay evidence in affidavits.—Mr. Temple urged that the prisoners had been in custody since the Tuesday previous to the committal, and the necessity of producing this policy had been known all along. The magistrates no doubt committed, because they felt there was a cue on which to go to trial. They might otherwise have remanded.—The Judge: s! And if they bad there would have been no necessity for this application.—Mr. Temple again urged the great hard ship on the prieoners, who had been put to great expense in preparing for the defence at this *wises. — If his lordship would consent, perhaps this policy might be admitted.—The Judge: I cannot admit it. All the Queen's evidence must be heard,.not admitted.—Mr.Temp!e then enforced his objections to the postponement at some length.—The Judge said that it was his duty to postpone this trial. If it was quite clear the policy was not in the possession of the prisoner, still there might be a question about secondary evidence ; and however that might be, it was clear that there was not time to produce it. It would be unseemly to the course of public justice, that thin and all other trials, should not be fully disposed of.—Mr. Temple, on the part of the prisoner, applied that he be admitted to bail. —The Judge : That man be the subject of mother application. It may be made tome, or to a judge at chambers. It must be supported by affidavits, and probably those affida vits may be answered. MANSLLUCIIITER. —Ellis Lingo rd, 37 and Ann Shatacros , . 39, were charged with haviest, on the , sth April last, com mitted manslaughter on the body of William Sbawcrow, at Dukinfield.--Mr. Trafford stated that on the night of the sth April, the deorased was at the house of the female pri soner in a state of intoxication, and that a disturbance took place. He was turned out, and the female prisoner struck and kicked him: be died next day, audit was found that the cause of death was ruptured abdomen, which might have been caused by a kick and blow. The case was wholly sup ported by circumstantial evidence, and a great number of witnesses were examined.---The jury found both the pri soners Guilty. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Csnxiste, AUGUST 4. The business at Nisi Prins, which was altogether barren of interest, a as brought to a close of the day w before mid-day. The Crown Court was occupied the whole ith the following trisl : POISONINO A WITE.—John Thomrs, 42, was charged with poisoning his wife with arsenic. e wesdefended byMr. J ames.—Sericsint Wilkins, who appeared for the pro,c cution, said the facts of the cue arc as fol low: On the 6th of May, 1827. the prisoner was married to his deceased wife at All Saints' Church, New cantle-upon-Tyne, and, that for anything that appears to the contrary, they lived together on happy and peaceable terms. His wife was a well-conducted women • moral 111 her habits, and orderly in her person end her ' home. They came together, at Whitsuntide last year, to live in this city, end immediately on their arrival took up their abode in • fiat, mooting of two rooms, in Union. street, where they resided entirely by themselves. In Sep ' Umber last, unhappily for him, the prisoner formed ero=u;intance with a woman named Cam , who lived in s -lane, and whom he had met by accident at a beer shop kept by a person named M'Bride ; and whatever may be the result of this investigation, it wee a sad day for him when he met that woman. From that day hie affections be came alienated from his wife and home ; et began to neglect her, and hie neglect, becoming habitual, attracted the ob servation of his neighbours. When he was first introduced to Cain he told her, in the hearing of other', that his name was Peel, end for • time passed under that name, repre senting himself as a widower, and alleging that his wife had been buried at Cromeennemby, Maryport. By such represen tations, end by constant visiting.. he prevailed upon her to permit him to approach and address her ; and there is no doubt that criminal intercourse was carried on for a considerable time between him and this woman. Now, although the prisoner represented to Cain that his wife was dead end that be was a widower, she appears to hare bed her misgivings on the subject—perhaps from its being talked about in the neighbourhood; and she at last' told him that unless he could produce • certificate of the death and burial of his wife she would no longer submit to I hie visitings, which were raising shame and scandal. I Shortly afterwards • letter came to her containing whet purported to be the certificate of the death and burial of Vary Thompson, of Crosecannonby ; and when she showed it to the prisoner, on the occasion of his next visit, he said it was the certificate of the death and burial of his wife. Oa this the woman Cain became more satisfied. and, upon her own showing, admitted him without limitation to her house, and very frequently to her bed On the 222nd of May the prisoner went to a druggist's shop to purchase some arsenic. He told the druggist that he lived at a place where, in truth, he did not live, awl that he wanted the arsenic for the purpose of poisoni ng rata with. On the 26th, there was • veal pie for dinner at the prisoner's, house, and his wife putook of it, and the symptoms which ensued are thus which result from arsenic. On the 26th, a portion of it was given to the children of a neighbour, who were afterwards seised with all the symptoms of en irritant metallic poison. On the same day, Mrs. M'Oluson met the prisoner's wife, and was struck with her altered ap pearances ,• bee eyes were swollen end blood-shot, and she complained of pain in her stomach and bowels. She continued to get worse, constantly vomiting and purging, and suffering excruciating pain. During this time no one was near the deceased during her meals but the prisoner, who, on Wedneallay night, whilst she was suffering from the Symptoms alluded to, went to Mrs. Cain, end passed the night with her. On Thursday, the prisoner's wife was worse still. On Friday night he again left her, and slept with Mts. Cain. About half-pant four on Saturday morning he went home, let himself in, and remained only for about an hour, for at half-put five o'clock he was seen to come out, taking with him the tin containing his break fast, and going to his work. A workman at Mr. Rich solion's went to the yard a little before six o'clock, and found the prisoner there. At half-past eight one of the neighbours, knowing how ill his wife had been, sent her rinetie boy to inquire how she was. She was dead, though, the innocence of childhood, the boy fancied she was asleep ; and his mother, therefore, did not wish to disturb her. When the media/ man celled, two hours afterwards. she was dead and cold, lyiog on her back, with her hair dishevelled, with no night-gown on, and with the clothes pushed to the bottom of the bed. During ' the whole time of her illness this poor woman seems to have had groat kith is oatmeal and water. which she drank to slake Ist thiell ami to cool the scorching of her threat.

The oalmied was found to be thoroughly impregnated and mixed with arsenic. On Monday the prisoner went to the police end asked for his working clothes, and war told he could not have them. On being eked if he wanted anyt he said he would like to have the oatmeal as he wt il lails 1 oatmeal porridge. Now, he was not in the habit oilskin oatmeal pomdge. On one occasion, when ulabd to take sow" he had refused, stating he never could take it. In the lodine of his working clothes, which the police refused to Nis tip to him, war found a considerable quantity of arsenic. Reilly after his wife's death, the prisoner went with another person named Hind, to one Bell, an auctioneer, end told him that he wished him, If he could do so privately, and without public notice, to dispose of his effects and property, as he wanted to leave the town ; but he was frustrated in this by the who bad possession of the house, and would not let ga On Friday he was at the Railway Hotel, with who called his attention to the certificate he had sent . He appeared astonished that Hind should know lipthing about it, and earnestly besought him to keep it a atSet, and never let it be known to any person. On Wed- Mieley, the 2nd of June, the unhappy woman was interred, end on the Bth the prisoner was apprehended. The inquest was held on the 11th and 12th.—[The learned counsel then read portions of the statement of the primmer before the coro ner, pointing out the contradictions it contained, and its in consistency with the facts as they would he elicited in evi dence. The first on which he remarked was the prisoner's as sertion that he was awakened about two or three onthe morn ing of his wife's death by her getting up. That was a false hood : he was not at home at the time, but was sleeping POLICE.—YESTEKDAT. GUILDHALL. —THE Heise Ar-LAW Socurrv.—The case against Mr. George Ross, of the Heir-at-law So ciety, was again resumed by Sir Peter Laurie. The charge against him was, that he and a Mr. Williams, the secretary of the Heir-at-law Society, had, by false representations, obtained 51. from a Mr. Perkins. There were a great many persons from various parts of the country in court, who had employed the managers of the Heir-at-law Society . .—Mr. Perkins stated, that having seem an advertisement in the IVeekty Dispatch of the 20th of January, 1846, that a sum of 220,000/. bad been left by several parties, and was going a-begging for want el claimants, he was induced to call at the office of the Heir-at. law Society. He there saw Mr. Ross and Mr. Williams, and in consequence of the plausible representations of these gentlemen, he was induced, on the 2nd of Nov.. 1846. to a sum of 51., that the opinion of counsel might be and the neeessary legal steps adopted to secure to him•• of the 220,0001.-84 Peter Laurie Are you sure that ha said that a bill had been filed in Chancery ?—Mr. Perkinst l He told me that be would file a bill in Chancery.—Sir Peter Laurie: But did he tell you subsequently that a bill had been filed ?—Mr. Perkins : Yes ; 1 was informed by Mr. Williams that the bill bad been filed an the cause put down in the Chanoery paper as number 2.— d Sir Peter Laurie Have you 4ot the list of the causes with you i—The pinse orator's ;solicitor : I have got evidence that no bill has been filed at all,—Sir P. Laurie (to the prolocutor) Before you paid the 51., did Mr. Rose tell you that he bad filed the bill?—Mr. Perkins: I asked him if he had filed the bill, and he said " Yes." I went, however, time after time to the office, and although there was no bill at all filed, when I complained of the delay, Mr. Roes said they (meaning those that were interested) were a set of fools. (Laughter.) Mr. Roes also told him that the cause would be brought forward soon, as they (the society) were very lucky in getting their causes forwarded with expedition. (Laughter.)—Sir Peter Laurie : How did he get the money from you ?—Mr. Per kins He said that they could not proceed unless they had the money. I gave him the money on his saying that he tied filed the bill ; and I wrote to Yorkshire to my friends ea the same day to the following effect Yours I received Ufa on Saturday. I paid it (the money which was en closed) to Mr. Roes, and he told me that the case will be brought by counsel before the Lord Chancellor." — Sir Peter Laurie To whom did yon pay the 51. ?—Perkins: To Mr. Ras.—Sir Peter Laurie: That was after he bed stated that the bill had been filed ?—Perkins : Yes, sir. —Prosecutor's solicitor : The opinion of counsel was pro duced, but the prosecutor saw Williams, the secretary, sub scribe the name of Mr. Boyle to it —Sir Peter Laurie : Ah bet I suppose Williams will maintain that he had the autho rity of Mr. Boyle for signing his name. (Laughter.)—Sir Peter Laurie (after consulting with the city solicitor) : I have consulted with the city solicitor, and I have made up my mind to instruct th e city solicitor to indict Mr. Roos for obtaining money under false pretences. Prosecutor's solicitor : Will your worship call upon Mr. Roes to find bail ?—Sir Peter Laurie : Yes ; I dare say he can soon find bail. Mr. Roes has been working for this • long time. It is quite clear to my mind the prosecutor paid this money in consequence of the representation made to him that the case was to be brought before the court.— Mr. Huey : There are several other parties to the bill—are there not ?—Mr. Perkins : I believe so ; but I am not pure. —Sir Peter Laurie: No matter, Mr. Ress must be indicted ; but I will be content with his own bail. The parties must come u_p _at a future du to sies the deposition'. WORSHIP.STRERT. EXTORTION AND INSOLENCE BY A CABMAN. —Timothy Sherman, a cab-driver, was • with having mutated and used intuiting la nguage to • gentleman named Nichols, residingfin York-reed, Ken nington.—The complainant stated that on the 21st ult., he hired the defendant's cab to convey him to the Eastern Counties Railway station in Shoreditch, and that on resch ing there he handed the defendant 25., which was the amount of fare specified upon the company's boards ; the defendant, however, insisted upon having an extra eixpence, and, on his refusing to submit to the exaction. seised him violently by the collar, and, uttering several abusive epithets, forcibly detained him on the spot. While struggling to dis engage himself, as the train was just starting, his wife, who was in dunce of him, hastened back, and stated that the had left her shawl in the cab; upon hearing which, the de feadant instantly mounted into his seat, and drove rapidly off. Witness ran after the cab, and was about to open the door, to recover his property, when the defendant jumped dawn from his seat, and thrust him back with the greatest violence, telling him that as he had given him so much trouble, if he wanted the shawl he must call for it at Somerset-house. The defendant then drove away, but with the assistance of one of the railway porters he succeeded in getting his number.—Three wit- MOPS were examined, and their evidence fully confirmed the complainant's account of the transaction.—When called upon for his answer to the charge, the defendant said that he eat- Aimed himself bound to deposit whatever property was IsR in his vehicle at Somerset-house, and that be could awes the magistrate that he had used no more force than we Messeary to effect that object —Mr. Arnold said that it was quite obvious that the defendant's object was nothing else but to revenge himself upon the complainant for defeating him is his unjustifiable attempt at extortion, and as the evi- I dm* clearly showed that he had been guilty of a very gross outrage, he should inflict upon him a penalty of 31., and in default of payment he must stand committed to the house of correction for six weeks.—The penalty was not paid, and the defendant was removed in the van. MARYLEBONE —ROBBERY TO TIES AMOUNT or VP. WARDS or 1,0001. —Joseph Myers, an elderly man, of the Jewish persuasion, • boot and shoe seller in Petticoat-lane , and who underwent an examination before Mr. Long on the 22nd ult., on the charge of having been concerned in a rob-1 bery of watches, jewellery, and plate to the amount of nearly 1,1001., at the house of Mr. Harris Myers. Edgeware- roa r attended at the court, agreeably to a promise made by Idea, when liberated on the day in question, to meet any after parties who might have evidence to give in the cast. Oa 11 April loathe premises were burglariously entered, and • sr ward of 1001. was offered for the apprehension of the *Wm. The seemed person (J. Myers)had, with another man awed Lazarus, been taken before the autherities at Amsterdam, owing to some information which had been mosived to some of the stolen watches having boimiligonsiollsyl e pies at Rotterdam, and the result of the itmairywartimelhe Neese& were both discharged. The statement made by Myers was that he was commissioned by Lazarus to dispose of the said articles, and that he (Lazarus) had promised to give him one half of the proceeds of the sale. Myers was ultimately captured in London on a warrant which bad been granted s pinet him. A solicitor attended for Myers.—ln reply to the magistrate, Inspector Tedtnan of the D division stated that he had no further evidence to adduce, as Mr. Harris Myers, who had already sustained so heavy a loss, had de. dined to incur any additional expense in bringing a host of witnesses from abroad.—Mr. Long remarked that under these circumstances there was of course an end of the affair, and Myers was, therefore, entirely liberated.—The solicitor begged to be allowed to address a few words to the 'magis trate, as the proceedings which in the first instance Lad taken place at this court had gained such extensive publicity ; he then stated that as soon as tt was heard that some suspicion rested upon Mr. Joseph Myers, he (the solicitor) forwarded& communication to the prosecutor as far back as the 17th uf May I last, informing him that Myers was most ready and willing to come forward to meet at once any charge which might be preferred, and as that course bad been pursued he could not help complaining of his client being taken into custody by the police in the manner which he had been. His object in making this brief notice of the matter was that of obtaining insertion thereof in the papers, as they had given publicity to all which had, upon the first inquiry on the 22nd ult., transpired before the court.—Mr. Long observed that with that he had nothing to do; the gentlemen who attended for the press to report proceedings, would of course exercise their own dis cretion in the matter.—Mr. Joseph Myers then left, accom panied by hie solicitor and numerous friends. THAMES.—AN IMPORTANT NEW LAW.—John Robin son, a ship-rigger, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged (under the 10 & 11 Vie., cap. 66, which contains only two section., and received the royal &sent on the 9th of last month) with sending Mr. Buchanan a threatening letter. This was the first case under the new law. which is entitled, " An act for extending the provisions of the law respecting threatening letters, and accusing parties with • view to extort money." Parties sending letters threatening to kill or murder are to be deemed guilty of • felony, and upon conviction are liable to transportation for any term not less than seven years, or imprisonment and hard labour for any term not exceeding four years ; and, if the offender is a male, he may. in the discretion of the court, be publicly whipped, in addition to his imprisonment. The prisoner, who was (rift° unknown to Mr. Buchanan, rant bins • threatening letter, declaring he would blow kis brairwout unless he sent him five sovereigns. , The police were communicated with, and the money was for warded by a boy, to whom the prisoner gave an acknowledg e ment in the following words, " Received of the hearer.— , John Robinson." He then left his house with the lad, and was given into custody, and the money was found in his pas t Isession. —The prisoner was committed for trial for the felony, and will be the first tried ander the new law. MONEY MARKET. TuURSDAY EVEMINO. At the commencement of business stocks were quoted the same as the last prices of yesterday, but so susceptible was the market that on the first bar gain Console gave way L per cent. Prices fluctuated subsequently between 88 to 1 for account, the first move in decline, and 87t, the lowest point afterwards reached, until about two o'clock, when the following notice issued at the Bank, this being the weekly board day, became public : minimum rate of discount at the Bank of England is 51 per cent.—Bank of England, Augnq 5, 1847. The promulgation of this notice had an instantane ous effect upon prices, and indeed produced a sort of ' panic in the stock exchange. There was, as usual on occasions of extraordinary excitement, a rush of eel- lers, and from 881 for account, at which the last pre vious transaction was effected and marked, consols fell at once to 871 on the first bargain done, leaving off at the regular hour 871 to .4 for account, and 87 1 , for money. Shortly afterwards they were currently a dote out of the regular hours 874 and for etc- 4 1 count. The fall from first to last was therefore equal to I per cent., or a shade beyond. Reduced Threes left off 88° to 4. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 894 to Long Annuities, 9 1-16 to 1. Exchequer Bills went down to par to 3s. pre mium. India Bonds were done at 3 discount, and were called 3 discount to par. Bank Stock, 196 to 8. India Stock, 241 to 3. But for the indisposition now so long prevalent to dealing or speculation in foreign securities, they might have followed the downward movement of home stocks to the proportionate extent. As it was, those in which casual dealings took place suffered a reduction in prices. Spanish Fives were lest quoted 201 to 1 only ; the Threes, 301 to 1. Portuguese, 30 to 1. Butch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 561 to 7 ; the Fours, 891 to 9. Mexican, 18 to 1. Venezuela, 38 ' to 40. The unexpected movement of the Bank in ad vancing the minimum rate of interest has been variously criticised in banking and money circles. It certainly took all parties by surprise, as well it might. For it is but a few days since the banks, discount and other houses, with discount accounts at the Bank, were formally notified at the corresponding office of the establishment of the new regulations as to the dates of bills by which the rates of interest would in future be goveraed, as detailed under this head at the time. Such a proceeding was naturally , regarded as tantamount to a declaration that no further changes were in contemplation. Yet here, within less than a week, comes forth in most abrupt fashion a notification in the terms stated, the precise object of which, un less designedly intended to spread greater discou ragement, and 'germ ate the state of discredit now too prevalent, in the money-market, it is not easy to comprehend, For, in fact, formidable as the melee may be construed on superficial reading, substantially it proposes no alteration at all beyond mere verbiage in what is and was before the established course of i the Bank's business. It is well known that for some ' time past no bills have been admitted to pratire there under 5i and 6 per cent. Even 61 per cent. has been charged it is said, upon brokers mixed parcels, when taken to account. The public and more official intimation therefore of a lower mini mum, so long acted upon before in reality within the knowledge of all parties having access to the Bank, changes nothing in the substance, however slight.y it may do in the form, of its monetary regulation,. It would seem, therefore, to have been uncalled for by any circumstances of purely domestic concern, and can only be explained creditably for the Bank on the certainly not groundless supposition, or belief, that, pressed by financial embarrassments, the French government were anxiously labouring to place some portion—to place the whole is out of the ques tion—of the loan of fourteen millions sterling for which they have been authorised by the legislature. The Bank notice may be de signed therefore as a significant warning to capitalists against taking part in such an operation — at their peril, if they do. In this sense, the Bank would stand justified in this extra official action • it is fairly entitled to defend and preserve the soli dity of its own metallic funds from invasion and abstraction. As before said, so far as the current business of the institution and the regulations by which it is go verned, the notice does really neither propose any alteration substantially, nor is it likely to effect any. Banking and commercial interests of the legitimate character will be served as before. The currency doctors of the Peel school will, hoWs ever, of course, be greatly delighted with this pawed exhibition of vigour and promptitude on the pert d the Bank directors some three months since only se denounced in parliament, and reproached out of doer, for supineness and incapacity in not earlier applying the screw, and creating a confusion in money affairs. We learn from a respectable quarter that the banking firm of Todros Freres of Paris, which &u -pended payment last month, resumed the usual coarse of their affairs on the 2nd instant. Wealthy relatives are understood to have come to the assistance of the firm, and enabled it to recommence in a manner satis factory to its numerous and respectable connexions. Messrs. Todros are nearly related, among others, to one of the richest banking-houses of Venice. =GUSH ITrDli, Rut Stott. 17 I - 11 For Ct. Ite4. i 71 1 3 per Ct. Gawk Amos.. 8711 New /14 psi Ct.
