SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRICHTON MEETING.—TrzeDAT. Remarkably floe weather at Brighton Wooed mat of the families sojourning at thin lively seadottlinsi town to make the sagest to the ram-coune. The meeting wmundonbtedly so extensively marooned as oo previous anniversaries. The programme cootiined hslf•e.dozen events, and the sport, which was not productive of large fields, was nevertheless satiafactoiy, except to the bookmakers, who most have lust heavily during the afternoon from the sticosases of favourites that were ticked for much mosey in the dog. The Itrigh•oe Stakes HAIMICAP brought together an unusually numerous field, and was won by the favourite, Watclifire, who, it will be remembered, was third, only beaten a head from Sir William, in the Goodwood Stakes. This day (Wedoeslay) the Cup will be decided, when Tim Whiffler will be with drawn in favour of his stable companion Paste, who, with Watchfire and Atherstooe, are likely to be the most dis tinguished performers. Since last year a ver► desirable ehange has been made in the refreshment department of the Grand Stand, Mr. J. Mimeo°, of the St. Katharine's l>wk Hotel, Loudon, being the new caterer, and the excellence of the viands, and indeed the entire commissariat, was such as to obtain the universal commendation of the visitors.

Yesterday the 33rd half-yearly ordinary meeting was held at the offices in Telegraph-street ; Mr. It. Gam s/vox, M.P.. io the chair. The report, of which an abstract has already appeared in our columns, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN was sorry that the present balance-sheet was somewhat lees favourable than the hoard had usually presented, but the canoe was obvious. To some small ex tent, perhaps. the distress in Lancashire might have pre judicially influenced the receipts, but the principal caused thefalling.off was that they bad been carrying roe/magma to Liverpool, Manchester, and severalother comb:hirable places at a rate that did not pay working expenses. This was an orde.d, however through which it was necemary the comrany sho uld peas, During the past six months 132,000 more messages bad been carried by the company's wires than in the correspomling period of 1861, and although it might appear somewhat unsatisfao tory that they should have done so much more work for lees money, t hey ought still to be satisfied when they considered that while the falling off could only endure for a time, the sources of increase were certain to multiply. The total ex- peodlture would have been very light for the half-year, but for the item of proliamenteiry charges,which though exceptional the board had proposed to charge against the revenue of the on. half sear instead of dividing it over several, as they might have done. 16.793/. was charged formaiutenance, in cluding troy. for works which would be,executed during the =oaths of July and August, although they properly be looped to the mat half-sear. lie was happy to say that no accident had happened toady of their cables daring the pest six months, and that they had been enabled to reduce the staff and crew of the Monarch steamer to a minimum. In coi-cluiicie he moved the adoption of the report. The motion was carried unanimously, and without re mar k# ea was the resolution declaring the dividend of Dle. per cent for the half-year, payable an and after the 15th inst. NEW Cii M:ICRY Arr.—The new act for obtaining a declaration of title has just been printed. It contains 49 sections and a schedule. The object of the new act, millet* will take effect of the let of January, is to enable per sons having interest in land to obtain a judicial declaration of their title to the same, so as to enable them to make an indefeasible title to persons claiming under them as pur chasers for a valuable consideration. The act provides that any person claiming a title may petition the Court of Chan cery for a declaration of title. An appeal is gives on the dismissal of a petitioe. Where the iovedipitioe is satis factory a declaration is to be made out, after notice of at least three months, which notice is to be advertised. The court may hear a petition against the title, and an appeal is given withi% ...is months. The declaration of title is to be registered, aid a certificate of the court is CO he given CO the pirty obtaining the final declaration. Another feature in therm, law is that a "register' is to be kept, in which persons claiming a title to an estate or interest in land may be inserted. The Lord Chancellor may make new rules and orders, which are to be laid before parliament, and his lordship bas the power to appoint additional clerks to exe cute the Dew duties of the act.

(Before Mr. Coomidisicear Holroyd.) LK RC 110M1211T . AND TATTON. _ _ After our repat left yesterday, Mr. Liuklator said the bankrupt was prepared to pledge his oath that there had been no abstraction of goods, and that he had rendered the fullest accounts in his power. Mr. fiarg•ood °paraded that there was no proof of the whole of the stock of 32.0001. having been sold for 20,9001. The sale-sheets supplied no evidence of this. Mr. Edwards (official ensign(*) said there was no identi fication of the property bought with that sold. There was nothing in the sale-sheets to show the quantity of the goods sold. Sargood mid the evidence of the maistante showed that the goods were marked at an avenge profit on the cost price of 15 to 20 or 30 per cent., and that no goods were sold below the marked prices save in exceptional cane. Mr. knidater was ready to examine the bankrupt in con tradiction of this statement. To the best of his belief all the stock had been accounted for ; beyond that be could not go. A great deal of the sacrifice had taken place at the Hull establishment. The Commissioner—Ts there no means of showing what goods went to Hull? Mr. Link later said they were all entered in the books. Mr. Sargood—The sales there were only 5,4001. His Honour said that if the uugnees were satisfied with the evidence of the assistants, and did not believe that of the bankrupt, they might indict Lim for perjury if so advised. The bankrupt Tattoo was examined. He Gemmed his belief that the goods sold at Regent's-el:cue had been amo rally sold at a profit ; but that at the Hull establishment, which was opened in June or July, 1861, without his sanc tion, goods were received from the London establishment marked at a frightful reduction, as much as from 10 guineas to 3 guineas, and were sold at • sacrifice. He had entered into partnership with Mr. Sowerby in 1653 ; he had then no capital, but Mr. Candy, one of the amignees, gave him 5001. and lent him 1,5001. more. At that tone he knew nothing of the retail business. His department was to keep some of the books. At the stock.taking in February, 1861, a peat portion of the stock, about two-thirds, was taken at an edraece of 25 per cent. on the oast price. This was done by direction of Mr. Candy, and un d er the superin tendence of his clerks. At Regent-street everything was marked at a profit, and ought to have been sold at • profit, but as he had not the management or vraogement piths shop he knew nothing of it. He was never at Hull, and took no part in the management there. It was understood that that concern was to be opened for clearing off the damaged and uufashiosable goods in Regent-street, but he afterwards found that goods had been invoiced and sent there direct from wholesale houses in London. As soon as be got • clerk that was at all efßciect, Mr. Sowerby was in the habit of getting rid of him, so that he (Tatton) might not know what was going on in the shop. He had no notion whether the altimeter of profit given by Jeesor and Frearsou were correct. The particulars of the stook-tatting of February, 1861, as taken by Mr. Candy's young men and by Mr. Sowerby, were entered by wither in the stock-book. That bo o k disappeared shortly before the bankruptcy. Diligent search had been made for it, but without effect. They had about thirty assistants in the establishment, who each gave particulars of their sales at the end of the day, and a sale-sheet was made up by the cashier. The amount of money taken was entered in the cash-book, and that would nearly correopood with the amount of the sales. Had no reason whatever to doubt that the sale-sheets contained the particulars at all the mho. Goods were charged to the Hull house at • reduc tion of 50 per mot., end in some inetariese at much more. The loss on the trading of 11,4841. since February, 1861, arose in great pert from the stock being then taken at its selling prioe. His Honour said there was no realm for supposing that the bankrupt had not given, to the best of his ability, • true statement of his affairs. The difficulty of ascertaining whether the goods returned as sold represented all those on the other side arose from the defective manner in which the accounts had been kept —a carelessness not confined to this particular instance, but prevailing in most retail houses. The official assignee was of opinion that it was quite impos sible for the bankrupt to give a better account. He would therefore be allowed to peas on adding a note to the balance sheet as to the proportion of the loss which he believed to have been incurred io the Hull concern. The bankrupt then &Need ; the order of discharge wee adjourned for two moo THE NORTH PAR COPPIR AND TIN DINO° COMPANY THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1862.

This was a common jury mum. The plaintiff was Miss Clara Morgan, the well-known dansense, and she brought an action spinet the defendant, who was the late proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, to re. cover damages for his breach of au engagement he had en tered into with her for her services at the Surrey Gardens during the present season. Serpent Ballantine and Mr. Paxton were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Watkin Williams appeared for tLe defendant. This was one of several actions that are to be tried upon this circuit, arising out of the same alleged breach on the pert of the defeant. The use on the part of the plaintiff was that, through the intervention of Mr. Milano, the oele brated ballet-roaster and harlequin, an engagement war en tered into with the defendant and bis manager, Mr. Bishop, that the plaintiff should be engaged as one of th e p r i nc ip a l ballet dancers at the Surrey-gardens, dung the present season at a salary of 4!. a week, and that she made all the necessary arrangements for that purpose, and we. prevented from obtaining another engagement. As the public are aware, the site of the g ardens has been purchased by the governors of St. Thomas Hospital for the erection of their intended new building, and, consequently, the ganlens were notr.pened as a place of amusement, and the parties with whom it was alleged the defendant had entered into engagements have all, it appeared, brought actions to recover damages. Mr. Milano, who was the principal witnese for the plain tiff, was examined, and be proved that in the month of April of the present year he had a conversation with Mr. Biahop, who was the manager for the defendant, upon the subject of engaging the plaintiff and her sister, Miss Barbara Morgan, as &menses at the Surrey-garden; and the result was that the professional services of the plaintiff were en gaged for the season, at the salary of 41. per week, which was the same salary she had formerly received at CIIIIMMINS. He also said that he was himself engaged for the seams, and that be had brought an action against the defendant. Miss Clara Morgan, the plaintiff, proved that she was informed by Mr. Milano, who always acted on ber behalf in these matters, of the engagement that he had entered into with the defendant, and she consequently made the necessary arrangements to provide her dresses, and did not seek to obtain another engagement. She stated that when the engagement was broken off by the defendant, she made &professional tour to Scotland rod to Newcastle, but this was not so profitable to her so the London engagement would have been, as she was residing there with her trimly and her travelling expenses were very heavy. The case on the part of Mr. Simpson was, that he had never made or authorised to be made any such engage ' ment as the one that was now set up, and it was alleged that Mr. Bishop bad ceased to be his manager, and that he merely held a lease under the defendant of the Surrey gardens. It was stated that the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital were in treaty with Mr. Simpson for the purchase of the gardens as the site for their proposal new hospital at the beginning of the present year, but as nothing detioi ties bad been arranged, and as it wee the Exhibition year, it was thought that the g ar d ens m i g ht be used profitably for the purposes of public amusement, and arrangements were therefore made to obtain the services of several professional ladies and gentlemen. As it was known, however, that the governors of the hospital might come to terms at any moment, care was taken that all the engagements that ware made should only be for the period of one week ; and it was alleged that this was the sort of engagement that bad been made with the present plaintiff, and that she, consequently, was not entitled to recover in the present action. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff damages, 201. TO) iTaiiiiwia of the amizea way brought to a elan &boat 4 o'clock. THE P*ICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Willianu ' a cabdriver, appeared for further ex amination, charged with a brutal assault upon John Brett. Mr. Humphreys attended to prosecute, the prisoner wee defended by Mr. Beard. Mr. Humphreys said he was instructed by Messrs. Shoolbstod, in whose employ the complainant was as carman, to prosecute in the case, in consequence of the very parlous injury which their servant had sustained. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that on the evening of Sunday, the 13th Ju yhe was crossing Cannon-street, when the defendant drove past on a Hansom cab, and cut him across the face with the whip. lie caught hold of the defendant's trousers and his whip, and asked him why he had done that. After some parley he let them go, and prisoner immediately struck him several times with the thong of the whip, and then, shortening his hold of the handle, pushed the butt-end of it with great force into corn plaiat's eye, after which he drove furiously over London bridge. The injuries the complainant received caused the entire loss of the sight of his eye ' • mad a reward wee offered for the apprehension of the party who committed the assault. The complainant said he was quite certain that the pri soner was the party. A witness named Burnes, who corroborated the com plainant's statement as to the assault, likewise swore posi tively that the prieseer was the LOAD, and added that he followed him for the purpose of taking the number of the cab, and the prisoner slashed at him with his whip. Re saw him three times after that, once no the same night, and twice sioce, and on the third occasion he succeeded in taking the number of the cab which he was dnving, which led to the prisoner's apprehension. Mr. Based said, although both the witnesses swore so posi tively that the defendant was the man he could cull wit- INSOSS who would satisfy his lordship that they had made a mistake. Hs then called several witnesses, whose evidence west to show that the prisoner, inatesd at driving • Haman cab aa the day in question, was delving a four-wheeler. Mr. Humphreys called the alderman's attention to the positive manner in which the complainant's witnesses swore to the identity of the defendant, and he asked that themes might be sent to the Old Bailey. Mr. Alderman Humphery committed the prisoner for trial, but allowed him to give bail in one surety in 404 and himself in 404 Mr. Ingham gave a decision in a care of some importance both to the public and cabdrivers. In consequence of the ooinplainte made by the yiaitors to the International Ex hibition of calimin picking their fares, the police were in structed to take out suminoomes in all cases in which there WWI a refusal to be hired. In the cases proved the full penalty of 40s. has been imposed, which has had the effect of rousing the whole body el cabmen to consider their pre sent condition. In the case of Alfred RedraU, a licensed driver, which was similar to the others, Mr. Lewis, of Ely place, defended. The evidence went to show that he was driving along the Bromptoo-road, when he was hailed by i two persons. He shook his head and drove on. Sergeant Web, who bed watched him, called out " Cab, " but he again shook his head, and drove on hater. He afterwards took up a party of four persona. The summon. was taken out in accordance with the terms of the 35th section of the let and god Wm. IV., cap. 22, as follows : " That every hackney carriage which shall be found stand ing in any street or place, and having thereon say of the numbered plates required by this act to he fixed on hackney carriages, shall, unless actually hired, be deemed to be plying for hire, although such hackney carriage shall not be on any standing or place usuall7 appropriated for the pur pose of hackney carriages standing or plying for hire 3 and the driver of every such hackney carriage, which shall not be actually hired, shall be o bliged _ and compellable to p f with any person of hiring such hammy carriage." Mr. Lewis argued at some length that the act applied only to mike found standing, and that if they were going along they were not to be deemed to be plying for hire. Mr. Ingham was of a contrary opinion, and that the legislature intended to apply to all persons plying for hire. He held that the de feint was standing though he was going, so satisfied was he of the intention of the act of parliament. The worthy magistrate consented to adjourn the case and several others for the purpose of conferring with his colleague. Mr. Ingham now gave his decision. He stated that he had considered the point, and he was perfectly satisfied that there was nothing in it. He was of opinion that the statute applied to all cases plying for hire. As the defend ant was piling for hire he convicted hem, and ordered him to pay 40s. and costs. Several other cabmen were fined the full penalty for the same offence. William SiaitA was also summoned for the same offence, and he was defended by a geatleman from the office of Mr. Joseph Smith, of Stepney. In this case the defendant wu driving his hone t Knightsbridge at a walking pace, and upon b e i ng hailekre abuk his head, and represented that be was going to change horses. He afterwards took up a party of four persona. Mr. Smith's clerk took the same objection as Mr. Lewis. He also argued that if the caw held good, a driver who had been out all day with his horse, and wee just about arriving at his stables to change home would be liable to be hire d, though his horse was not in a et state to go the journey. Mr. Ingham said that if the driver in such a cue proved he intended to change heroes be should take upon himself the responsibility of excusing him, but that was no excuse for hot taking two persons when he afterwards carried four. He never fined ethane unless he was perfectly sure that the case had been proved. He had had many cases before hint in which the defendant's had made statements so probable that he had dismissed them. He thought the cue against the defendant proved, and he fined him 40e. and coats. Mr. Smith's clerk then asked his worship for • cams, to settle the point as to the interpretation of the 35th sedans. He stated that he bad the authority of • noble philan thropist who h►d interested himself is the cabmen's behalf. Mr. Ingham immediately grouted • awe. EXTRAORDINARY CAST OP ARSON. At the Lewes Assizes yesterday, before Mr. Baron Bramwell, Harriet Goble. a girl 17 years of av, was charged with feloniously and maliciously setting Are to a dwelling.tiouse, the property of Charles Milligan, be and other persona being therein at the time. Is other counts of the indictment the intent of the prisoner was laid to be to injure the prosecutor, and also to defraud. Mr. Roupell and Yr. Willoughby conducted the prose cution ; Mr. Ribton sad Mr. Rather were counsel for the Pzis'?"r• The learned congeal for the prosecution, in opening the case to the jury, dueribed it se °ono( a very extraordinary character, no lean than four fires having taken place in the house of the prosecutor on the same day, and by the last of them the premises were entirely consumed, and property to the value of between three thonmod and four thousand pounds was destroyed. lie then proceeded to state the facts he proposed to lay before them, and the following evi dence was adduced : aim Matilda Milligsn, a fashionably deemed young lady, of very prepossessing apparatus said—l am the daughter of the prosecutor, and in July fat we occupied a house upon Crawley Downs, which he had built for himself, and which was entirely detached. The family . consisted of my father and mother, the latter of whom is vary infirm, so old man servant who has been thirtysiglit yearn is the service, and the prisoner at the ker, who was cook and housemaid. She came into our service in Fs ,broary but she was not regularly engaged, and it was understood that she was only to stop until we were suited with a servant. I had been to Lorsloo for a short time previous to the 10th of July, and returned home on that day. While the prisoner was in the establishment I frequently com plained of her, and there were repeated disagreementa be tween us ; sod she was aware that she was to go the mo ment I could get soother servant that was likely to snit. A servant did corns upon trial, but else did not suit, and she was seat away, and the passer vas told she might remain with us a few days longer. On the morning of the 19th of July there was no fi re in any part of the 'wise except the kitchen, and the prisoner appeared to be engaged about her household affairs as usual. About one o'clock I observed that the house was full of smoke; and at first we thought that it came from the kitchen chimney. The family dined about half. past two o'clock, and after dinner the smoke seemed to increase, and a search was made, and it was discovered that • portfolio in one of the upper rooms was on fire, and • coat and dress were smouldering. This fire was extinguished, and nothing more occurred until six o'clock, when the pri ironer gave another alarm of fire, and upon going upstairs 1 found that some books that were iu a bookcase were bars lag. There was no fire of any kind in this room, and I do not know of any means by which the books could , have become ignited. This fire was extinguished, and the house was examined, and no trace of fire was discovered. About half-put seven o'clock on the same evening there was a third alarm of fire, and this time the fire took place in • totally different room. This fire wee put out, and 1 then heard the • r call out, " A man ! • man! running up the • " I and some other persons went up to the attic, but no man could be discovered. The third fire was put out about eight o'clock, and the bolus was then again examined all over, and found to be free from fire, and things regained in this state until half-peat nine o'clock at night, when there was another alarm of fire, this being the fourth. This time the tire was found to have got so much head that it was impossible to pat it out, and the house and the greater part of its contents were destroyed, the value of the property lost being be tween three and four thousand pouuds. Among th e property that was in the house at the time the last fire broke out, there was in my bedroom a small box which contained • silver tea service, and my watch was also in the same room, and these were found to be missing. I had a conversation with the prisoner on the Monday after the fire respecting them, and she told me she went into my room when the last fire broke out, zrclahe saw the watch warrens, but the box =tamping the plate was safe, and she took it up and went down stairs with it, and met a man on the staircase who knocked her down and took the box of plate from her, and she lay upon the ground insensible with the Barnes burning all round her. I did not observe any mark of • blow upon the prisoner's face where she sai d she had been struck, neither did I observe that any of her clothes were burned. Crest-examined—The prisoner was only employed es • sort of " stoplup," until we were able to get another ser vant. I may have made use of au expression to the effeet that I was sick of the place where we were living, but that I saw no chance of getting away unless the house should catch fire. I think whet I said was in answer to an obser vation that was made that it was • wonder my father did not sell the house, as it was known I did not like it, and I remarked that my father would burned out. I think I heard the man-servant make use of the expression that I had soon had my wish. I tint sus pected the prisoner when she told me such • smogs story about the plate. Mr. itlbion —Now, Mien Millignn, I am very sorry to put this question to you, but lam bound to do so. Were there nut some very uupissaaut rumours about yourself in re ference to this fire? Miss Milligan—l believe there were. Mr. Ribton—Rumours that you had yourself set it on fire Mir Milligan—l believe so. Mr. Itibton—lt was knows, was it not, that you disliked the place, and wished your father to leave ! Mir Milligan—Yes. Baron Bramwell—Was the property insared! Kim Milligan—Not at all. Baron Bramwell—And you say the property destroyed was of the value of between 3,0001. and 4,000 f. Xis' Milligan—l believe 4,0001., my lord. BIM Bramwell—Then your reversionary Weld is it would probably have been worth nearly two thousand pounds! Mies Milligan— It would, my lord. Baron Bramwell—Were you and your father on good terms? my lord, very good terms. Mr. Respell, to the witness—On your oath, is there the slighteet truth or foundetion in the sausetke that you had anti! to do with setting fire to this house ? Nosellilligao— whatever. During the period that elapsed between the third and the fourth Gres I was in • room with several other persons. In answer to a question put by the learned fade, the witness said that the plate she referred to was in • very mall box, and it could easily have been carried away. No tress of it was found in the ruins of the fire. Mr. prosecutor in this 0110, and the father of the last witness. The house in question was my own freehold property. I did not insure it because I considered that as it was completely detached, sod in the country, there was no risk of its taking fire. After the third firel went all over the house and examined it carefully, and I am sure it was quite safe. Mr. Lilley, a fanner living in the neighbourhood, and a gentleman named Cross, who was on a visit to him, were then examined, and they proved that they were seat for to the prosecutor's house, and that after the third fire was extinguished they also examined the house and saw it was safe, and they were about to leave sraat the moment when the alarm of the fourth coi tion wee given. It appeared that this fire broke out q te at the top of the house, among the rafters, where it seems there had been a large quantity of waste paper kept. These witnesses also proved that Miss Milligan was in their company the whole time that elapsed between the third sod fourth fires, and that it was therefore impossible that she could have caused the mischief. These witnesses, as well as the prosecutor, were asked as a matter of form, with a view to show that the act must have been committed by the prisoner, whether either of them had set fire to the house, and they replied in the negative. Robert Howes, the man servant, was examined, and the same question was put to him, and he also replied in the negative. Mr. Kennard, a superintendent of the Surrey police, was then celled to prove that the prisoner bad made certain statements relating to the fire, which did not, however, appear to be very material, and this closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Ribton then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. He said that the case was undoubtedly one of a most extraordinary character, and the way in which the prosecution soeght to establis h the charge against the pri soner appealed to be by proving that no one else in the house had done the act. He did not, of course, desire for a moment to impute guilt to any the ; but it was obvious that if the act had been committed by anyone else, that person would deny it, and if the prisoner had been examined and she bad been asked the question, she would have given the same answer they did. Ile was then proceeding to observe upon the absence of scything like direct evidence to sup port the charge against the prisoner, when he was stopped by The jury, who expressed their opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to support the charge, and they there fore found the prisoner not guilty. The learned judge said he did not desire at all to object to the verdict, but he could not help observing, in torment* to a suggestion that had been thrown out in the course of the ease, that it was absurd to ppo a that the act could have been committed by Miss Milligan, especially when it appeared that she would be so great a loser by it. THE GARROTING CASE IN WATERLOO PLACE. Yesterday two young men, who gave the names of Hoary Chandler, of 9, Victoria - pine , Smith's-buildings, Bermondsey, and Deems Murphy, 12 Herbert's-buildings, Waterloo-road, tanners ' were brought to Muibroughetreet police•conrt, and piec ed at the bar before Mr. Knox, charged with being concerned with others not in eastedy. In violently assaoltios J. Pilkingtoe, Esq., M.P., co the 15th July, in Waterloo•plam, and steeling from his person a gold watch and chain, hie property. Mr. Edward Lewis wee for the prisoners. Mary H 15, Friar-street, deposed—About cue o'clock on the 15th J ul y odge lad, I was in Pall-Mall, near the statue, close to the Athemieum-elub. I was alms, and I pointed out the spot to the police. I saw a gentleman go past, he was not exactly young. I believe be was deemed in black. Ism a woman named Amelia go up to him. Imw her put her hands in an improper manner oo him, but he did not want her, and told her to go away. like went on him the second time ty and then came back to Cha n dler. who clue was , aed said, "I've got his jiffy," sod Chandler replied, "Very sell, I'll settle him.' With that he up with his fist and knocked him down. The other man was with him, and he came up, and they both used him shamefully. They put their arms round his neck, and nearly strangled him. The men and woman went to a public home, and the watch wu sold to one of the pri wooer's brothers. Mr. Knor—How do you koow that ! Witness—Amelia told me so herself. The gentleman was not able to proazz. 1 gave information to the police and the soldier en guard. Mr. Knox—Did yea know either of these prisoners be. fore ' Witu know them both as perfect thieves. Cross-examirmd by Mr. Lewis—Yam a vmarried woman. My husband is in the 27th company Royal Engineers. I was about won business is Pall-mall that night, and I could not get home before. I had bees to King's-ernes on business to my cousin. You may find out the business. Mr. Knox—You must answer the question. Witness—l went to Mn. Drummond's, No. 2, Somers street. Ido not know the time I went then, but I be lieve about nine o'clock. Cannot say when I left, it might be about twelve o'clock. (The witness, who is an Irish woman, gave her evidence with great sha rpness.): Mr. Knox said that the witness was cutting her own throat by her manner. Cross-examined—lt was her business why she was at Pall-mall on the night in question, and why she went to Pall-mall on her way borne to Friar-street, Blaoldriasa from King's-moss. The witness here spelt* with so much flippancy to Mr. Lewis that Mr. Knox said she was conducting herself abominably, and he must have more decency while she was giving eviden. Crom-exernination continued—Had never been in trouble at the Maaaion-house. Never lived with a man aimed Toby. Wu standing in Pall-man shout two minutes be fore she sew Amelia. Knew Amelia as a thief. The police had pointed her out to her as a thief. Had often bsea to Bow.street to see a lady friend. Had not spoken to Amelia that morning. The first thing @be saw was the gentlemen knocked down like a Mute; that was enough for her to see. Did not say the watch was taken first. The watch was taken when the gentleman wee standing on his feet, before he was knocked down. Let the gentleman come and speak for himself if he is alive. Mr. Knox said the evidence of the witness was one tissue of impertinence. At first I thought she was drunk, but she says she is not. It is impossible to put coy faith is what is stated, especially in a aim where life and limb were put in peril. A more disgusting exhibitive in • wit nees-box I never before witnessed. Mr. Superintendent Hammitt said the witness Hodge came to the station-house, and made • statement that she witnessed the assault oa a gentleman in Waterloo-place. She said the two prisoners and a woman named Amelia were the parties. The superintendent here gave the state mast made at the police-station by the witness, which vernal in several important particulars from the statement above made. Yr. Knox said there was • contradiction between the two statement'. Mr. Hannant said the witness took him to Waterloo oleos, and pointed out the place where she said the gentle man was knocked down. The plane was about 100 yards from where the transaction occurred, and was also on the other side of the way. He could not imagine the motive the witness could have for making the charge against the men. The charge was a very serious one, and he did not feel justified in not entertaining it, though he had his doubts about the veracity of the witness. The witness was recalled, and told to conduct herself with more propriety. Re•ex►mined—Both stories were true. Did not know which of the three said, " I've got his Jerry." Amelia did not say so; she said, "I have Dot got los Jerry go back sod get it" Mr. Knox referred to his notes, and pointed out the entire discrepancy between this and the previous statement. Mr. E. Lewis—Well, tell us which is the truth. Witness—You may take his wonhip's statement. It was Murphy put hie arms rouni the gentleman. I was near enough to we that the two men were only together ; the woman was not with them. I don't know which of the two men took the watch. I did not see who put his arms round the gentleman. I screamed a dozen times for the pollee. The superintendent said the men Wen bad chamfers; one of them had been convicted. _ _ Mr. Knox said bad the charge been one of ordinary import ance, the way the witness bad given her evidence would have mused its dismissal as soon as she bad made her statement. The task was imposed on him of discharging the two pri soners, who even if they had been returned convicts, and shown to be the very worst of characters, could not have been held in custody on evidence such as bad been gives before him. The woman had perjured himself, and con tradicted herself in every way. She had given two versions of the same story, and both inconsistent with each other. In short the whole of her story was a mass of shameless perjury. It was impossible that the Queen's subjects could detained in custody on such unsupported evidence. and be should therefore order the prisoners to be discharged. THE ALLEGED GAROTTE ROBBERY AND MURDER Ar HOXTON.—Last night Mr. Humphreys resumed the inquiry at the Green Mao Tavern. High-street, Horton, respecting the death of Mr. Samuel Chapman, aged 70 years, late dean of Ebenezer chapel, who was discovered in a state of insensibility and seriously injured in the adjoining pre mises. There was no additional evidence brought forward calculated to throw light on the affair, and the jury re turned a verdict to the effect that the deceased was foutd dying on the floor of his room with effusion of blood on the brain, bat whether from violence or otherwise there wu no evidence to abow.
