This case was analagous to those in which perjury was assigned on affidavits, the jurists of which were so defective that they could not he need in court. Another ground of defence might be that the defendant went to the court in the month of October, and by mistake said Ft hruary for October. but it would be shown that when lie went in Oetnlier it was to 50 and see another will, and not that of Wiiii4llllJ , "eph, cool that at no period whatever did he compare the document in queetion with the original will of William Joseph, or with the set. book or the act of pro hate.

It appeared that, when a will was applied for, it was taken out ;of the other in the cathedral, and taken to the registrar's office, and there put in a bundle by itself and kept there for a year or so, when it was replaced in its proper place. Thew, were the facts on which the prosecution rettrd, and be submitted that they eenstituttal the lewd as wall as the moral crime of perjury. If the defend ant'. statement was false, it must be eei to own know ledge, for it must be (deserved that when lie !aristocrat the document he stated that hi• had compared it with the original will and the act of probate and the act book; whereas the document was made out after he left the office and sent Or him by post, and he never compared or examined it with anything an that other. This statement was fully established by the evidence in every respect, eseept that it was not clearly made out for what purpose thu copy of the will of Williaiu Joseph was tendered in evidence on the trial of the action, the counsel for the prosecution now ein,tentling that it was for the purpose of showing iieferentiallly the death of Jooph, and the counsel for the defendant ',eying it could not have been any evidence of that eircusustanc.•, and that it was to explain sonsethieg in unother will, which, however, did not more fully or otherwise appear on either the former or the present trial. On the thee of the ease for the pnoteution, the counsel fur the defendant submitted that the contents of Vi illiain Joseph's will were utterly immaterial to the deter mination of the issue in the action of ejectment. His lord ship said that was clearly au. The learned counsel then eon tended that, as the contents of the will were utterly imma terial to the issue in that action, everything sworn by the defendant in reference to them was immaterial, and conse quently could not he the subject of an indictment fur perjury. The counsel for the prosecution. on the , other I cuntenelnl that, though the contents of the will were immaterial to the issue, yet the death of Joseph was most mettle •I to it, and, as an examined copy of the probate of the will wee some circumstantial evidence, however slight, of his death, everthing sworn by the defendant in order to get that examined copy admitted in evidence was sufficiently material to sustain this indictment. His Lordship arid that, though his own private opinion was that the law ought to be that whatever was sworn in the course of a cause in a court of justice should be the subject of an indictment for perjury, yet he had not the ' least doubt that as the law now genet that which was the subject of suet an indictment must be something capable of supporting the issue. He would nut how determine this question, hut re15.1 , 1 , e it for the Court of Criminal Appeal, if the verdict should be against the defendant.

It ailpeared that some members of the society had paid 1l r. Devonshire, on account of Phan , in the company, considerable sum. of money, amounting to nearly 4001. This money was paid to him at his olftet•, and it would appear that he never accounted for it to the society, mot at length at one of their meeting's the whole matter was impaired into, and • motion wan made that unless be paid the money forthwith, the solicitor to the company should he instructed to institute a criminal prosecution against him immediately.

Boucher, a respectable-looking man, was charged with shooting at John Birley, at Bath, on the 'Llth of April, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Hodges and Mr. Saunders prosecuted, and Mr. Stone and Mr. Allen defended. Mr. Hodges said he had looked through the depositions, and he had come to the conclusion that the charge named in the indietmcnt could not be sustained, and he should therefore only proceed against the prisoner for a common assault. Mr. Stone said it was impossible for him to resist that charge. Ertl, nee was then adduced to show that the prisoner woe cashier in the service of Mr. Tucker, a draper, and the pro secutor was in the service of Messrs. Jones and Co., who kept another drapery estabishment next door. There had been a great deal of lurking between the young men of both CA tablishinclits, and on the night named the prosecutor had been throwing water over one of Mr. Tucker's young men. In retaliation it would seem that the prisoner, who was described as a sporting character, retired to his bcdsroom, and having loaded a pistol with shot, discharged it in at the window where the prosecutor was. The prosecutor was struck Icy one the shots in his forehead. The jury j.ound the prisoner guilty of a common assault, and land Campbell said the law must mark its high dis plc asure of the ollence. The prisoner was then sentenced to a month's imprison ment. CUTTING AND WOUNDING HY A Boy. J.

It seemed that the prosecutor was in the belfry of Nemp nett Church, ringing the bell for a funeral, when the boy came up, and perdsled in teasing the prosecutor. After wards, he threw dirt nt two little children wko were peep ing into the grave. When remonstrated with, he threw a stogie at the prosecutor, who gave him a cuff on the head, on which he put his hand in his pocket, took out his knife, and with an exclamation stabbssl Howler in the band, drawing the knife afterwards across the hand, and separat ing one of the tendons. The prisoner, who lived with his grandfather. a retired officer, received a good character for sobriety and good eon. duet ; but it transpired that he had grievously assaulted a young woman. The jury found him guilty of a common assault. Lord Campbell—Now what am 1 to do with such a lad as this ? lie ought to be saved from the contamination of a gaol, and the best thing I think would be to hand hint over to his grandfather for a sound Moving. His lordship, after some consideration, sentenced him to a month's solitary confinement, observing that that would afford him an opportunity of repenting of the wickedness ut his conduct. _ This tenni:244:d the business of the assize. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Miry Page, a young man of respectable appearance and aildnois, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of City policeman Feinting (40), charged with having tired a loaded pistol at John Francis Roche with intent to kill and murder him. The prisoner appeared to be excessively depressed in spirits, and often sighed heavily during the investigation. John Francis Ilache said I am a boohnaker, and carry on business at Boulogne. lam now staying at the Monument hotel in Fish-street hill. I came to town on Saturday morning at ten o'clock from Boulogne in the Seine steamer, and arrived at London-bridge wharf, and I went to transact the business I came about, as I intended to return yes , terday morning.

(Here a coat was produced, in the skirt of which there were two holes.) I had that coat on when the pistol was fired at me. and there was no bole in it when I had put it on that day. I believe the holes to have been caused by . the explosion of the pistol. The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wished to ask the prosecutor any question, replied in the negative. relining (•565)—At a quarter before 6on Saturday even ing I was in Lower Thames-street, opposite to London bridge Wharf gateway. I heard the report of a pistol, and upon turning round I saw the prisoner standing with a pistol in his band. There was a great deal of smoke. I ran down the gateway, and the prisoner threw the pistol out of his hand into the road. I laid hold of him, took him into custody, and picked up the pistol. The barrel was warm. 1 searched the prisoner at the station-house and found upon him two bullets, seven percussion caps, and some powder, and also the portrait of a lady. I believe the portrait is that of the lady in question. Ile had also about him these keys and a knife, and Pal. in money. Ile did not speak at all. There is a percussion cap now on the nipple of the pistol, which appears to have been expluded. The Lord Mayor desired the prosecutor to look at the portrait and say whether he knew the original. Tlw prosecutor. —lt Kthe portrait of the lady. The Lord Mayen—Have you had that portrait in your possession ? The prosecutor.—No: but I saw it in his possession on the Sunday before last; and I also saw in his possession a parcel of letters which he wished mr to read, but I declined doing so. The lady is, I believe, called Madame Thourin, and she has a eon, hut I do not know his name. Fenning, the policeman, here produced the following letter, which he found in the prisoner's pocket. It was addressed. " Madame Elizabeth Thourin, at Mr. J. rusworth's, 37, Fish-street-hill, London-bridge. " London, Bth August, 18.51. " Dear One,—For the abominable and atrocious act I am on the verge of perpetrating, you, false one, and you alone, will be held responsible. Althoough fully aware of my in tentiun, and knowing that but one kind word would soothe my wounded spirit, and change the frightful ideas I enter tain, you prefer braving me to the commission of a deed as repugnant to my feelings as it is offensive and criminal both in the sight of God and man, to stretching forth au arm to save me from that gulf which is now preparing to receive your wretched victim. You have nothing to palliate the ex tent of your perfidy; still professing the warmest affection for me,—an utter indifference, in fact, dislike—for the person for whom I have been discarded, you still from caprice, or I know not what, decline giving me any eplanation of your conduct. What am Ito think How uni Ito act? After feeding my passion with sorry encou ragement for more than a year, now to find myself thus forsaken is more than niy imperfect and weak system run bear. Could you but assign the slightest motive tor coarig ing your sentiments I might even support this cruelty with some degree of calmness; but no, even now while your letters, actions, and words reiterate the same warm ce rt....ions of affection you have always appeared to enter tain for your devoted friend; while tam satisfied from your own lips that the new obje,ot of your choice is disagreeable and even loathsome to you, you still decline giving . me your remote , for thus desiring abruptly to mover the CilllrseX miew hich has so long and so agreeably existed between us, anti which during my residence in England has been the only tie which en.ibleigine to support my humble position, in the firm hope of possessing your hand and heart. You it Was who, by favouring and cncouruging these pretensions, have de. stroyed my pence of mind and prospects for ever. I my again it is all your doing. Instead of the golden dreams which have hitherto floated before me of wandering wee. , thee through life as partners in pleasure or in pain, you suddenly unveil my lolintlnces, and reveal the abysm into which you have plunged a too confiding heart, whose only crime was that of loving too deeply. I ask again, why — why this inexplicable, thin extraordinary mid mysterious conduct? I cannot, after racking my brain to the utmost, account for it. You invite me day after day to see you. To what cud It would appear as if it were only to add torture to my present sufferings, or to laugh at and mock my weaknesses—to tell me continually that you are about to become the wife of a man whom you hate, of a man who has resorted to a hundred cowardly and contemptible schemes to injure me and un dermine the good opinion your father, until his interliir. cote, always entertained of me. lie, too, W. the principal actor in the scene which obliged me to quit your dear pre sence, hut retribotion is at hand, and, you false um', mark my words, whatever pleasure my suffiinngs may afford you to-day. you will, at wane future period, sorely repent thus trilling with a too sensitive and forgiving friend—l say for giving, because my infatuation is such that, notwithstand ing the suffering you have forced me to endure, iny affec tion is not in the least diminished, and, as I betide ob served, but one word of explanation, was it faeuurable or otherwise, would have prevented the commission of that fault which my maddened brain stung to the quick by your perfidy has prompted rue to summit. In fact l am urged by some power to this tleed, and I must follow the decrees of fate. May Gott forgive you this std all those errors into which toy deep-rooted love may have involved you. May he bless you with life to atone the past, and shower upon you and your dear little Auguste (whom I had hoped to have called son) all those blessings of which this life is susceptible, and hereafter, with those mercies which he extends to all those who truly repent. This is the prayer—the fervent prayer—of your wretched victim, yet still devoted friend and lover-11E8m." John Itubidge, coachtuaker, said, I live in the George street, Bloomsbury, model. lodging-houses. The prisoner did live in the same house. Ott Friday I went with the prisoner to a shop in New Oxford-street, where lie bought a pistol. He bought one for 75. 6.1., which was like to this, but I thought the barrel of the pistol he bought was a little longer than the barrel of this. He also bought there some percussion caps and several balls. Previously to going he asked me in the kitchen whether I was a judge of pistols. I mid, " No; but I should know whether a pistol was a good or • bad one." lie told me lie wanted a pistol to shoot at a mark, and I thought as he was an American that it was very probable. The Lord Mayor, having given the usual caution to the prisoner, ;raked him whether it was bit wish to say anything ? The prisoner—l have only to say, my lord, that the indi vidual who stands there (pointing to the prosecutor) has been the ruin of me completely. Ile his by twenty dif ferent means resorted to measures calculatcu to injurc me and undermine me in the opinion of those who respected me and whom I have respected, and he has rained and blasted my prospects for the future. The prisoner was then committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court upon the charge of shooting at the prom cuter with intent to kill and murder him. It was stated, but not openly iu the court, that the un fortunate wretched man attempted at the station-house to strangle himself with his brace*. He has been for came time an interpreter, and it wail said perfectly understood seven or eight languages. GUILDHALL. Sir Peter Laurie and Alderman Sidney ae^ompanied two Italian gentlemen to this court to apply for a summons against an omnibus conductor under the following eircum. stances: The two gentlemen hailed an omnibus at Charing-cross, wishing to go to the City, and one entered the vehicle, while the other, preferring the air, mounted outside. The fair was ed., and before the termination of the ride each gentleman without the knowledge of the other paid td., the fare of himself and friend. On meeting atter leaving the carriage they discovered the double payment, and asked the conductor to refund the money which he had improperly taken. Ile refused with great effrontery, but finding that they persisted in the demand tendered id. each, pretending that the tare was fi'd., although he had just twice accepted Bd. for two. As they insisted upon justice the conductor turned round upon them with abusive language, struck one in the face, and called to the driver to go on. The gentle men then complained to the policeman on duty, but he neither understanding their language nor having witnessed the assault only told them to stand out of the way. In this ditticulty they went to their bankers, who recommended them to the gentlemen by whom they were now accom panied. Alderman Wire granted the summsns for the overcharge and the assault, and said the ease should not be adjourned on any pretence whatever. CLERKENWELL.

Chaska Witcher, who stands charged with being con cerned in the robbery of 400/. worth of French merinos, &c., was further charged with stealing a bux contai n ing gloves, hose, mittens, &c., the property of the South- Western Railway Company. Mr. James Brennan, inspectr o n o police, produced a per of the property found prisoner's house, which Mr. J. 11. Taylor identified as part of the contents of the lust box. The principal witness was Mary Pamplin, wife of H. Pamplin, conv:eted of the gold dust robbery, who stated that she lived in Earl-street, Finsbury, the house tenanted by her husband ; she knew the prisoner, who came to their house a little before Christmas, her husband being present, but she did not think Winter was ; Witcher said a box of silk would come, and it did come, but it was not silk. It was gloves and stockings, things like these pro duced. It was brought by Chaplin and Horne's delivery cart. Don't know the man's name that drove it. The prisoner came on the same day the box came. lie was pre sent when the box was opened. Witness and Winter were also present. There were six scarf shawls, some of them were sold with gloves and other things at F:vans's. Some of the things were kept for a long time. On that day Famplin took six pair of stockings for me, and six for himself ; we had also a pair of gloves. Witcher ideo had six pair of socks for himself, and a scarf shawl for his wife, and she had one for herself. Witcher took the other four shawls away. The socks produced were the same description, arid they were the same kind of gloves. The long stockings look like what she had worn herself. The socks were marked " C.W." Don't remember who was there, but thinks Winter was present at the opening. The remainder of the goods were some days in the house. These goods (pointing to some more which were produced for her inspection) the witness Said she had been in posses sion of ever since, but gave up four pair to Sergeant Bren nan as being part of their share. A part of the goods was moved away by Woolly Abrahams. her husband, Witcher, and some other Jews whom she did not know. They all got into a cab. Some other man was with them. The case was here adjourned fur the presence of the con vict ramplin. IV a Geri MARKETS. PRODUCE MARKET. LivEurnoi, At?. 11 The sales of foreign and coluniol produce to-day com prise : SIUAR.—: S Ws.

There are, however, not a few pier., of shirk bins, which of course cannot produce many hops. It is also useless to attempt to conceal the fact that iu some parishes, nut fu front us, there is a good deal of mould.
